Hadith Regarding Seeking Forgiveness from Allah Almighty

On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

"I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Allah the Almighty said: O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it. It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal). Its chain of authorities is sound." [40 Hadith Qudsi, Hadith no.34]

Six are the rights of a Muslim over another Muslim. It was said to him: Allah's Messenger, what are these? Thereupon he said: When you meet him, offer him greetings;when he invites you to a feast accept it. when he seeks your council give him, and when he sneezes and says:" All praise is due to Allah," you say Yarhamuk Allah (may Allah show mercy to you) ; and when he falls ill visit him; and when he dies follow his bier(attending his funeral).

Allah's Messenger said: "When a Muslim, or believer, performs Wudu', washing his face, every evil that he looked at with his eyes leaves with the water - or with the last drop of water, or an expression similar to that - and when he washes his hands, every evil he did with his hands leaves with the water - or with the last drop of water - until he becomes free of sin."[Jami al-Tirmidhi 2]

Views on Current Political Situation of the Ummah

     As you all know that the situation in Palestine particularly in Gaza is worsening with each passing day. Israel has also arrested all the peaceful activists of the Sumud Flotilla which were aiming to go to Gaza to transport aid and in hopes to finish the Israeli siege imposed on Gaza. While all this is happening there have been discussions about a peace deal in Gaza that was proposed by Trump after talks with 8 Muslim countries. This peace deal is nothing but a death warrant that Trump, Netanyahu and the Muslims rulers who are slaves of the West are forcing Hamas to sign as this article was written a couple of days ago so I might not be aware of the current updates. Hamas has agreed to some of the proposals which I will discuss later in this article. The first one to appreciate Trump on this deal was Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif who proved his loyalty to Trump showing how good of a slave he is. After the backlash on Social Media regarding this deal many of the 8 Muslim countries including Pakistan's Foreign Minister and Qatar's Prime Minister have backed off from this deal clarifying that this was not a deal that was signed by them with Trump. How stupid and naive our rulers are that they thought that the US and Israel will keep there word. Aren't they aware that the US and Israel have a history of breaking agreements with others as it is in there nature to sting like scorpions. At the beginning of this year Israel signed a ceasefire deal with Hamas in exchange for hostages but that didn't stop them from murdering more Palestine while they were also bombing Lebanon. Israel is already in a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah but time and again they break that deal and conduct airstrikes in Lebanon. Similarly back in June the US lured Iran into negotiating a nuclear deal but Israel murdered the very Iranian officials who were negotiating with the US. In all of these deals that were signed by the US and Israel with Hamas and Hezbollah were broken by the US and Israel while Hamas and Hezbollah kept there word. Similarly the US has signed multiple peace deals with Ansarallah as well but still continues to support Israel in bombing Yemen to target Ansarallah. The list of this betrayal by the US and Israel is long but our Muslim rulers are slaves to there worldly desires and unfortunately fear the US more than Allah. 

    Muslim rulers especially the gulf countries who have got tremendous amount of wealth and resources can spend them in buying lavish cars and properties around the world but can not use this wealth to fund the resistance against Israel or any other genocidal regime which kills Muslims. Infact UAE is directly involved in supporting gangs who are committing war crimes in Sudan. Similarly Azerbaijan is still selling Oil to Israel which is then used in tanks and aircrafts that bomb Gaza. This oil is exported to Israel via pipeline that passes through Türkiye. I do appreciate Erdoğan and Türkiye because they have done a lot better than other Muslim rulers who have done nothing for Palestine but it is still not enough. Erdoğan has got the ability and the courage to do lot better than what he has done so far for Palestine. I do acknowledge that he is better than rest of the Muslim leaders and that is the reason that he has disappointed the most. Yes he often calls Israel a terrorist state which is very bold of him but this is just rhetoric and Erdoğan has done nothing beyond this to help Hamas. He often calls Hamas a resistance movement but if he really believes so than he should at least supply Hamas with Turkish drones and weapons. Erdoğan can force Azerbaijan which has deep ties with Turkiye to stop supplying oil to Israel if he doesn't do any of this than this is nothing but hypocrisy. Another thing which I will mention here is that it took Türkiye about an year and a half to stop trade with Israel. While all this time Palestinians were being martyred by Isreal the trade between the two countries kept on increasing. Similarly Pakistan which did so well in there war against India in May and proved how compatible there army is but they can not do anything to train Hamas. They have tarnished the reputation that they gained after winning the war against India due there selfishness and lack of adequate action to liberate Palestine. The same goes for Saudi Arabia which champions itself as the custodian of Hejaz but they have banned the Imams of the two Holy Mosques from praying for Palestine. Infact Sheikh Al Sudais who is the chief imam of Masjid Al Haram called Gaza a fitnah and refrained people from talking about it. The reality is that it is the Muslim rulers and there puppet scholars who are a fitnah for the Ummah. It is not like most of these rulers can not do anything but the problem is that they choose not do because most of them as I said before are either cowards or slaves of there worldly desires or the West or may be they really are stupid. If our rulers really have any of these shortcomings then I ask the brave people of the Ummah do they deserve to be our rulers? Even Hamas has got more political wisdom and courage then most of the puppet rulers of the Ummah. Hamas has agreed on some of the proposals of Trump's peace plan. It has appreciated the Arab, Islamic, and international efforts, as well as those of US President Donald Trump to resolve the conflict. Hamas has also agreed to release hostages under the provision of right field conditions but it has denied Trump's proposal to disarm. Hamas has also asked for the complete withdrawal of Israel from Gaza. They have also denied the establishment of a International transitional government which was to be led by Tony Blair. Tony Blair was British Prime Minister back in 2003 during the American led invasion of Iraq. He is the one who lied to the world and to the British people and launched an unjustified war on Iraq on false claims of Iraq harbouring 'weapons of mass destruction' which was just a lie orchestrated by the United States and its allies to kill Iraqis and steal Iraq's mineral resources. Instead Hamas has agreed on handing over the government to Palestinian technocrats with Islamic and Arab support. Even Trump has appreciated Hamas's positive response and he has also asked Israel to stop bombing Gaza. Regarding the issue of the rights of the Palestinians Hamas has said that this should be decided on the basis of a consensus between various Palestinian factions including Hamas. Regarding rest of the proposals they have said that they require clarity and more negotiations. They haven't said anything about disarming. These were the counter proposals that Hamas has proposed so far. It has shifted the pressure back on Israel. It shows that Hamas possesses more political intellect then all of the Muslim rulers combined. It is still quite unsure whether Israel or the US will act on this agreement or not but let's pray to Allah that this is helpful for Palestine and for the Ummah.

     It is so shameful that the World leaders especially the Muslim leaders were silent when Israel was prosecuting a genocide in Gaza. There have been large scale crackdown around the world against Pro Palestine protestors which shows how much the West cares about freedom of expression and also shows how hypocrite and coward most Muslim governments are. Everyone is forcing Hamas to accept the proposals and threatening them with consequences but no one is threatening Israel if it continues to kill Palestinians. It has been two years since this genocide started but the entire world watched and failed humanity and the Palestinians. This is more shameful for the Ummah and its leaders in particular because Palestinians have a much more stronger bond with the Muslims then they have with the rest of the World. According to a Hadith of a Prophet Muhammad SAW all the believers are like brothers to each other and should help each other if they are in trouble. All the children that were killed by Isreal were infact our children and all the men who were killed were like our fathers, brothers and sons. It means that all the women that were raped, tortured or murdered by Isreal in Palestine were like our Mothers, Sisters or Daughters. Would you allow something like this to happen to your son, father, mother or sister? Obviously not. We are all Muslims and Allah and his messenger have ordered us to help the oppressed. People of Palestine are the ones who are being oppressed so we as Muslims need to help them. Yes it is true that most of the rulers of the Ummah are greedy of power and wealth or are afraid to stand up to the West or are just selfish but it doesn't mean Muslims should be silent for the atrocities that are happening against Muslims around the world but rather we should put as much pressure as we can on our rulers to break the shackles of slavery. Yes it is true that most of the Muslim rulers are oppressive dictators sponsored by the West who can not tolerate you questioning there cowardice or protesting against them. They might arrest you or even kill you to crush your voice but remember no matter how much tyranny they impose on you it would still be nothing compared to the atrocities that the Palestinians and other oppressed Muslims around the world have gone through. According to a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad saying a word of Justice to an oppressive ruler is the best form of Jihad a believer can do. Indeed if you push your rulers to take action to help your Muslim brothers and sisters than it is also a Jihad and if you are killed than you will be a martyr. Remember that Allah will surely question our rulers for there wrong doings and there silence when Muslims were being oppressed around the world but Allah will question you as well for not raising your voice for your Muslim brothers and sisters. Our Muslim brothers and sisters are being oppressed in Palestine, Kashmir, East Turkistan, India and elsewhere and we as Muslims need to raise our voices for them so that they can know that they are not alone and they can firmly resist the tyranny they are going through. O Allah guide our rulers and bless them courage and intellect. O Allah help those people around the world who are fighting for Islam and who are fighting for there dignity. O Allah keep them steadfast against the enemies of Islam. O Allah give us the strength and courage to stand up against our rulers to question there hypocrisy, greed and incompetence.

Israel-Palestine war and the response of the international community

    In this blog, I have written about the current situation in Gaza, especially Rafah, and the response of the international community on this issue.




     Since October 7th, Israel has killed more than 35,000 Palestinian civilians, including children. The situation in Rafah is getting even worse, where the displaced Palestinians have taken shelter in. The hostilities can rise further as Israel continues to bomb Gaza, especially Rafah, and as Israeli tanks continue to move to the centre of Rafah. This is not only limited to Palestinian civilians, but the Israeli army has also claimed the lives of more than 100 journalists and 224 aid workers, including 179 workers of UNRWA.



  The ruling of ICJ has had no impact on Israel. There has been an insufficient response by the international community against the Israeli massacare of Palestinians. The West especially the US and its allies which call themselves the champions of 'freedom of expression, democracy, Human rights'  are silent on the atrocities and human rights violations convicted by the Israeli army against the Palestinians. They are not only silent but supplying Israel with weapons and aid. Are these your so-called values that you call yourself guardians of that you are advocating for the Israeli genocide or are these values only reserved for people in the West. Don't the Palestinians have any human rights or you think that only people in west are humans and only thet have human rights? The Western governments call themselves the 'beackon of light' for freedom of speech. Well, what about the protesters protesting in various Western countries like US,UK, Germany and Sweden against their own governments for supporting Israel, especially the student protests being conducted in various universities in the US. Those protesters are being arrested for raising their voice against Israel. Is this your so-called freedom of speech upon which you constantly give lectures to the world? 


    AIPAC which is the largest pro-Israeli and pro-Zionist lobby in the US claimed that every 8 out of 10 Americans are in favour of Israel's massacre of Palestinian civilians citing a survey by The Harris poll and HarrisX in which 1660 Americans voted. In response to that someone created a poll in which more then 4200 Americans voted out of which 96 percent of Americans voted against Israel's actions in the beseiged Gaza. This survey just shows that there are many Americans who are not in favour of Israel's atrocities in Gaza but the American  politicians are not paying heed to there opinion. Is this the freedom of expression that US advocates for that they are denying the opinionof there own people? Are these your so called Democratic values? If someone says that only 4200 people voted in this survey and How can there opinion be considered as the opinion of 300 million Americans then how can AIPAC consider the votes of 1660 people as the opinion of 300 million Americans? 




   Israel is literally slaughtering and burning innocent Palestinian children alive. Don't you feel the pain of Palestinian mothers of seeing the dead bodies of there innocent children?What's their fault? What does your international law say about all these atrocities, or should we call it Western law as it only safeguards the rights of people in the West? After all this hypocrisy, the Western nations have shown. They have absolutely no right to teach the world human rights, freedom of expression, and Democracy.




 

  


   Israrli army is conducting Holocaust against Palestinians in the same way Nazi Germany did against Jews during the second world war. Nethanyahu is no different than Hitler. He is doing to Palestinians what Hitler did to Jews. It is ironic that those same Jews who suffered from the tragedy of Holocaust during the second war later on illegally occupied Palestinian lands and kicked them out of their homes during the Nakba in 1948. Now they want to repeat that again. They want to kill most of the Palestinians and kick the rest of them out of Palestine. They have conquered most of the Palestinian land in the last 76 years and now want to capture of what little bit remains of Palestine.


   The Western media is constantly doing Propoganda in favour of Israel trying to blame everything on Hamas, labelling it as a terrorist organization. The reality is that Israel is a terrorist country, and Hamas is fighting it for the independence of their homeland. What Hamas is doing is completely justified in the same manner the Ukrainian resistance to the Russian invasion is justified. The Western governments are supporting Ukraine supplying them with aid and weapons to fight the Russian invasion whereas in the case of Palestine they are not only advocating Israel but they are supplying them with weapons for there genocide of the Palestinians. Many Western media outlets still think that Israel has avoided bloodshed in Gaza. If you want to see the best example of hypocrisy and victim blaming then you would see that in various western media platforms like CNN or BBC etc. They hold innocent Palestinian civilians responsible for the Israeli genocide. They did mass reporting when Russia attacked Ukraine but have been silent on the suffering of Palestinians.

  Russian sports teams were banned from a number of sports events including Olympics 2024 due to there invasion of Ukraine. On the other hand Israel is allowed to participate in the Olympics and other sports events although they also invaded Palestine. The West boycotted Russian products after they invaded Ukraine whereas Israel is buthering innocent Palestinians and they have done nothing. This shows there double standards.



    There are also some people who say that Israel is only bombing Gaza strip because of Hamas, which is as I have stated above is unjustified because Hamas is only resisting against the Israeli occupation of Gaza. Well, I want to tell them that Israel's terrorism and illegal occupation are not only limited to Gaza strip. Israel is also illegally occupying and settling Jews in the West Bank as well. Israel, at times, also stops Palestinians from praying at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. How is this justified? Since 7th October, Israel has killed approximately 500 Palestinians in the Occopied West Bank. Last week, the Israeli terrorist army raided the Jenin camp and killed 12 people, including children. The image below shows how the number of illegal settlements in the West Bank has increased over the years.



    Since October 7th, it has become a norm for the Israeli army and illegal Israeli settlers to raid parts of the West Bank. A UN report last year stated that Israel is constantly monitoring the West Bank and controlling every part of it. Its like a lockdown imposed on them. 

   On the morning of 30th of May, the Israeli army raided on the Ramallah vegetable market and destroyed over 100 stalls and dozens of shops owned by Palestinians. They say that they did this in response to a car ramming attack that resulted in the death of 2 Israeli soldiers. The Western media, as usual, put the blame on Hamas for this attack. Well, these are just 2 Israeli soldiers killed. What about more than 35,000 Palestinian civilians killed since October 7th? What about thousands of Palestinians displaced since that time? What about those Hundreds of Thousands of Palestinians brually killed by the Israeli army since 1948? What about the illegal occupation of Palestinian land that happened and has been happening since 1948? The Hypocritic Western media and Western Politicians would never tell you this. Instead, they will just do victim blaming on innocent Palestinians.

   There are also some people who argue that there should be a Two State solution in Palestine, which is again injustice to the Palestinians. How could a state that was formed by capturing and displacing the local people be legallized by this? It's the same way as if Russia captures some parts of Ukraine and then after that proposes a Two State solution dividing the land between Russia and Ukraine. Now, would this be justified?


   If just for a moment you put yourself in the place of Palestinians you would see that you have got only 2 options either to die or to live in that miserable conditions where there is no food, shelter, clean drinking water or electricity not to mention the fact that at times Israeli army also stops aid from reaching the Palestinians and also bombs the refugee camps. There have also been reports of Israeli citizens looting and burning aid heading towards Gaza. There are no adequate health facilities available. You are constantly being bombed, and there is no shelter. You are constantly being monitored. You see dead bodies of people split into bits and pieces due to the bombings. You see dead bodies of innocent children in very miserable conditions (there body parts cut into bits and pieces), and what if one of them was your own son? Just think of this horror scene and think What would you do in this situation? You would realize that humanity has failed you. You would realize that humanity has betrayed you. Just try to imagine this scene what Palestinians always and at each and every single moment go through. Then you would do the same what Hamas is doing. You would also fight for your life for independence, and even if you die while doing this, at least your future generations should not suffer that constant trauma that you had to suffer. It's not the Palestinians who are dying, but in reality, it is humanty, which is breathing its last breath in Palestine.




    I would conclude my blog with an image of a former US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, who during one of her visit to Israel can be seen writing 'Finish them' on a bomb bound for Gaza This is not just Nikki Haley, but it is the depiction of not all but most US and Western politicians who advocate for freedom of speech, human rights, and Democracy. This is their true face, and they have got absolutely no right to advocate and lecture the world on these morals.
