STOP IT NOW!


STOP IT NOW!


STOP oppression and injustice around the world.

STOP the genocide in Gaza and Palestine! The 75+ year old land struggle in the Middle East is only getting worse. 10,000+ Palestinians killed. ICU units destroyed. Desperate mothers giving birth amidst chemical bombs. Newborns living no longer than a few hours. Ailing and terminally ill patients deprived of medicine because hospitals no longer have supplies, some hospitals are no longer-many have been bombed to ruins.

Israeli forces have being murdering and bombing Gazans relentlessly for over a month. The apartheid state has been targetting homes, schools, hospital,shelters, Mosques, Churches, UN buildings, and every last person in the genocide cage that is Gaza. People, elders, men, women, children & babies are being collectively punished, bombed, starved, deprived, disconnected and destroyed. The occupying Zionist force has a clear intention: ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians. The world’s largest open air prison turned catastrophic mass cemetary is on the brink of extinction, so long as the humane and just among us cease to speak up.

We cannot be complicit with the aggressors as they continue the butchery before our eyes. The criminals must be held to account and stopped.

This is 2023.

We haven’t forgotten Iraq- 1 million killed unlawfully. Remember also Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Bosnia, Xinxang Uiyghurs, Burma Rohingyas and many more nations whose people were destroyed by occupying forces, with the help of blood-thirsty governments’ unlawful provision of homicidal weaponry.

So we say STOP. STOP IT NOW.

Stop the killing of innocents around the world. We as Muslims, of the Thurrock community, as British residents/citizens, as members of the global community, we reject, oppose and vehemently denounce the brutal genocide and terrorism inflicted by the apartheid Israeli regime upon our fellow human beings in Gaza and Palestine. We along with millions of conscious, peaceful citizens call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and Palestine, we demand peace and an end to the oppression, seige, apartheid, ethnic cleaning and displacement. Stop aiding war-hungry nations like the illegal apartheid Israeli state, stop selling them arms and weapons. Stop aiding terrorism. We taxpayers don’t want our money spent on murder, taking lives and destroying people.

We’ve seen enough horrorific imagery of bleeding, injured babies, now missing limbs and needing amputations. We’ve seen concrete-dusted infants with their heads blown off, lying lifeless in the hands of medics. We’re tired of seeing the pain, the panic, the trauma and destruction. We’ve seen groups of men desperately rescuing bodies trapped beneath rubble. We’ve seen mothers and fathers mouring over their precious children, newborns, infants and teenagers. We’ve seen traumatised children recounting their recent orphanhood as they stare blankly into the camera. We’ve seen paramedics bravely smiling and comforting rescued babies, whose names they don’t even know, breaking down in tears themselves from overwhelm with the gravity of the situation. We’ve seen journalists reduced to tears of frustration, fed up of the deliberate targetting of their people. We’ve seen lines of hungry and thirsty people , queing up with containers hoping they’ll get some water for the day, hoping they’ll get some food, facing death by either bombings or forced starvation. The utter chaos has to stop. Mercy must prevail.

If Britain was in the position of Gaza today, God forbid, surely we would not want the world to turn a blind eye to the suffering and calls for aid. Therefore, we cannot bare to witness the calculated decimation of innocent civilians, elders, men, women, children, babies and their homes and buildings. What happened to humanity? Is not life to be preserved?

Narrated Anas:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By preventing him from oppressing others.”

(Sahih Hadith: Bukhari)

Enough is enough, we cannot turn a blind eye to oppression. Speak up and do the right thing, be honest and champion the rights of the oppressed. Be the voice for the weak. Be on the right side of history. Stop the violence. The world needs faith, peace, justice, love and harmony. Let’s not be of those who, for years to come, will wallow in guilty regret for enabling murder.

CEASEFIRE NOW. SAVE LIVES.

FREE PALESTINE, FREE GAZA. FREE THE OPPRESSED.

WORLD PEACE, JUSTICE AND HARMONY. InshaAllah.

Being persecuted on account of faith in Allah, is a pattern in history. Eradicating Muslim populations, will not eradicate Islam. Allah will preserve His religion. It is through submission to Allah that we will find true peace. May Allah protect Masjid-al-Aqsa, its inhabitants and all of us in the ummah. Wasallallahu ala nabiyina Muhammad. Amin

Mercy for mankind- #WhoIsMuhammad

Bismillah,wasalatu wasalam alaa rasoolillah

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious The Most Merciful.

‘And We have sent you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): not but as a mercy for the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).'[Qur’an 21: 107]

The final messenger of Allah, Muhammad ibn Abdillah, peace be upon him, the best man who ever lived and walked on the face of this earth. With no comparison, he is known as the most successful man in history and beyond, the best leader, the best warrior, the best businessman, the best husband, the best father, the best companion, the trustworthy, the dignified, the chaste, the modest, the courageous, the morally upright, the epitome of exemplary character…The prophet of Allah, Muhammad, upon him be peace.

surah qalam verse 4Allah says in the Qur’an, (English interpretation)  :

‘And Verily, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are on an exalted (standard of) character.’ (Qur’an, 68:4)

Muhammad, peace be upon him, had great concern for his nation- he was swift to help those in need, he was gentle and mild tempered, patient and forbearing.

He was ready… ready to listen to the unheard, ready to defend the weak and oppressed, ready to advise sincerely those seeking advice… ready to convey the truth.

He strove through periods of great difficulty to convey the lofty message- a message conveyed by all prophets and messengers, upon them be peace-  a message which resonates with the natural disposition of mankind, the message ‘laa ilaha ilallah ‘ – There is no true god worthy of worship except Allah alone.

The final messenger of Allah, Muhammad peace be upon him, did not fail in his task in the least bit. He succeeded. Far and wide, the mesage is known, and the message is followed.

I bear witness that there is no true god worthy of worship except Allah who is alone without partners or associates, and I bear witness that Muhammad peace be upon him is the servant and messenger of Allah.

shahadah

His teachings, actions, descriptions, sayings and instructions are revered and adhered to, cherished and conveyed. Muhammad peace be upon him taught us to have high moral character and good manners with The Creator (Allah) and the creation. He taught us how to conduct ourselves in the best and most decent manner. He, upon him be peace, said (English interpretation): I have only been sent (by Allah) to complete the good manners [Al-Hakim].

He was a mercy for mankind. He peace be upon him taught us (English interpretation): The merciful ones are granted mercy by the Most Merciful . Show mercy to those who are on earth, and the One above the heavens will show mercy to you. [Ahmad]

Muhammad peace be upon him conveyed the message which would lead to our peace and salvation in this world and for the life to come. Our purpose in life is clear, to worship exclusively The Supreme Self-Sufficient Creator, Allah, and this is the only way to attain peace and eternal bliss.

Only the fair-minded will emancipate themselves from bigotry and ignorance. Those who mock this mighty messenger, are full of hate today, but tomorrow, will be full of regret. This occurred at the time of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, he had enemies, mockers and haters. They intended by their vicious, slanderous profanity and abuse to dissuade the messenger from conveying the message, whilst they knew that all they attributed to him were but fabrications. In the end, these haters failed. They were surely humilated, and what’s to come in the hereafter of humiliation is an unimaginable and inevitable reality. Haters will be haters, but they’ll also be losers. Their true colours have shown, they are what they say, uncivlised, bigoted, hateful, anarchist, slanderous, wretched… deluded…and confused. Drawing from the wisdom exhibited by the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him throughout his lifetime, we learn that we must deal with all people justly.  These people, i.e. the mockers, need help and guidance. Let’s keep unsolicited violence out of the equation. Pity is little we can offer them, but education is far more powerful.  May Allah guide us all, ameen.

Isn’t it time we educated ourselves about this remarkable man whose call to Islamic monotheism has been received and accepted by discerning people from all walks of life? Isn’t it time we searched for the real, unadultered truth? Isn’t it about time we learnt who he was, what he stood for, and Whom he called to…

Oh Allah may Your peace and blessings be upon Your final prophet muhammad peace be upon him in great abundance, upon his family and companions and those who follow them in righteousness! Ameen! May Allah make us of Muhammad’s followers, peace be upon him, for indeed Allah commanded us to obey and follow the messenger, and this is the only way to true success.

“Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad [sal-Allâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam]) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day, and remembers Allâh much.” {Al Ahzaab: 21}
