Four legs good; two legs bad

White kafir blood valuable; darkie Muslim blood cheap (hoping readers are familiar with Orwell)

You don't need to be...

I dedicate this message to the newsmedia and all the sheeple who fall for their crap.

Free Palestine?

If you look at the carnage in Gaza and think that it can be stopped by ignoring Allah's commands, by ignoring the Quranic verses on jihad, by ignoring the verses regarding ruling by Allah's (swt) law- then you have already failed! What is written in the Quran is being ignored and meanwhile, thousands if not millions of Muslims are diving into superfluous time wasting ranging from boycotts, to marches, to supermarket sit ins- there is nothing in Islam which recommends or suggests dealing with the Ummah's affairs in such a way. I'm trying to figure out why so many Muslims have got it into their heads that they might have a chance at helping to Free Palestine if they turn to the same kufr governments and organisations who have already expressed their enmity to Allah (swt) and His deen and who have already expressed their full support of Israel? To refer to a token ceasefire as a 'victory' for the Ummah is pathetic- is that really the best we can do?

Equal?

It would've been a little obvious to mention the topic of homosexuality in the context of the people of Lot (as), but it occurred to me that these days, there's been an influx of memes and profile images that depict supporting the cause of homosexuality with the equal sign, as if to say that society should view homosexual marriage as equal to heterosexual marriage. Such a view has become so prevalent, that people are branded as 'bigots' for disagreeing and laws are being put in place to prevent us from being open about the fact that this is something unacceptable in our religion, our culture and pretty much any other context you can think of besides the one the non Muslims are attempting to impose upon us. It led me to the conclusion that it would be more appropriate to show some of the Quranic verses regarding equality.

Gaza

I don't know where this idea stemmed from that boycotting a few products or signing a petition (to plead with the very governments that are funding, allying with and arming the Israelis) would make a jot of difference in preventing or halting the genocide of Palestinians. Such an idea did not stem from the Quran, nor the Sunnah, nor the consensus of the Sahaba (ra), yet the Islamic solution which did originate from these sources is not even a topic of discussion by most Muslims. Dear Muslims, learn from this: Umar (ra) once said that when the Muslims start seeking honour through other than Islam- Allah (swt) will humiliate us.

Ramadan Mubarak

Salam and welcome to Muslimah's alter ego. I bring to the forefront matters affecting the Ummah which should be discussed but far too often are kept under wraps instead. Let's start with some "food for thought" as to why so many of us miss the point about the simplicity of Ramadan and how it instead has become an excuse for decadence at the dinner table.

Ramadan is a month of fasting not feasting. The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said: "Many receive nothing from the fast except hunger and thirst."
