    My friends I think we should ask God To help us to be honest with eachother ..I think moralitty is the most important factor in the life
    We can do doua to be kind and friend eatchother without cheating without lie without aby wrong manner in which we maybe annoy eatch other .. . Is it humanity if we cause of someone’s tears? A real muslim try to do the best in that way which I told you … pleaze do like and help eachother more in honest way …

    We Muslims should care about all those who are suffering around the world. Whether they are Muslim or non-Muslim. A true believer in god wishes to see justice and equality in the world. We ask Allah to make as all true believers and cleanse our hearts from the things that he despises. We ask Allah to make us servants for humanity, helping the weak and oppressed where ever they maybe. This is the legacy of our Ummah this is the true call of Quran. If we look at today’s world you will find very few Muslims in the service of humanity. Most of the times we serve our selfish interests. In Africa and Asia highly educated non-Muslims from wealthy backgrounds have left the pleasures of the west to serve mankind. They have set up schools, hospitals, language centres etc.. Even though we Muslims posses huge resources we have failed to reach out and spread the language of the Quran and provide humanitarian services to match the scale of the non-Muslims. If we return to our responsibility to serve humanity once again Allah will bless us and honour us with safety, security and leadership.

    Why cry about Gaza. This conflict has been going on for over half a century. The Arabs are full of diseases of the heart. They are racist and extremely divided amongst themselves. They have the same qualities as the Jews. They consider themselves and their blood above the rest of the blood of the Muslim Ummah. How many thousands of Muslims have died due to starvation and wars in Africa and Asia and Muslims, especially the Arabs laugh and joke and even overlook them.The Muslims of Asia and Africa are moved by what goes on in Gaza but sadly have found the Arabs not so empathetic with their cause. It’s like this, we love them but they don’t truly love us back. Some of them treat us as sub-humans and these are the practices you will find in many of the Arab lands. So the point is to my Arab Muslim brothers and sister clean your heart from this filthy characteristic of racial superiority and become true believers and treat the Muslim Ummah who the majority of are non Arabs with equality and love and Allah will strengthen you through them inshallah.

      “Why cry about Gaza?”

      Very upsetting for me to read that statement. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made a supplication, “Oh Allah, bless us in our Levant and our Yemen.” Imagine someone tells the Prophet (PBUH), “Why cry about Gaza? (Which is a part of the Levant).” Wouldn’t you question this person’s faith?
      The opinion that Arabs are “full of diseases” does not give us the right to refuse to speak about places that Allah has blessed. May Allah make all the Arabs better Muslims. Ameen.

        My brother you have a very shallow understanding of hadith. These lands are blessed not because of the Arabs but for reasons other than that. May Allah bless you with insight into the true meaning of the hadiths.

          Here is the hadith that backs up my claim, brother Idris:

          Ahmad related that RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
          لاَ تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْحَقِّ ظَاهِرِينَ لَعَدُوِّهِمْ قَاهِرِينَ لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ إِلاَّ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ مِنْ لأْوَاءَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمْ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَيْنَ هُمْ؟ قَالَ: بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَأَكْنَافِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ

          “There will always be a group from my Ummah triumphant upon the truth, victorious over their enemies, there will be no harm from those who oppose them and they will not be harmed until the order of Allah comes and they will be like that (triumphant). They said, “O RasulAllah, where are they? He said, “In Baytul-Maqdis and the precincts of Baytul-Maqdis.”

          Gaza is blessed BECAUSE of the actions its Arab people. May Allah give them victory. Ameen, ya Rabb ul Aalameen.

      As-Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. “Why cry about Gaza?????????” Because our beloved Prophet Muhammad (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) said in an authentic narration, “Oh Allah, bless us in our Levant and in our Yemen,” and Gaza is part of the Levant. I am actually quite surprised at the Islam21c moderators that they would let an anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, bigoted comment go through (And in the month of Ramadan, at that!). I read enough anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian trash everywhere else on the net. I don’t come to your website after my work day to read this garbage displayed on your comments page. Don’t you have the decency in Ramadan to delete this trash in empathy for the children in Gaza who are suffering as I write this letter?

      PS I am not an Arab.

    Thanks for having current affairs articles during this Ramadan. It provides perspective to the Quran we are reading and the other Islamic rituals we are doing.

    More joined up writing needed from the likes of David Cameron and Obama; No point in sponsoring injustice/ israeli state terror on the one hand, and then claiming to fight terror on the other.

    I would have thought that Mr Cameron & Mr Obama having families and children of their own would have disagreed with the idea of collapsing housing on women & children…. If this is a matter of western leaders being surrounded by unscrupulous advisers (eg Andy Coulson etc), then this needs to be looked at so that such leaders can make informed judgements based on sound/ moral advice.

    The ‘war on terror’ is once again exposed as being the ‘war of terror’. The only crime of the Palestinians is that they dared to ask for their lands & homes back. The godless world is an unust world. The godless world is an immoral world.

    Assalamu Alaykum,

    Let’s not forget the martyrs of Syria, Iraq and elsewhere. It seems that Muslims only awaken temporarily when Gaza is mentioned. Yes alhamdulillah they are God willing Martyrs but inshaAllah so are our brothers and sisters in Syria, Iraq, Burma and elsewhere.
    May Allah grant the Ummah of Mohammad victory & grant us ‘Izza once again. Ameen

      Asia, Muslims all over the world have a very special link with Palestine and the Palestinian people. Jerusalem is a blessed land, unlike Iraq and Burma. You have to understand that the people of that land have a very special place in the hearts of every single Muslim on earth. They are the vanguard against the Zionist Jews. If they fall, your and my slaughter will be NEXT. This is why they are given a priority over other Muslim suffering.

      Thank you
