Do Muslim families love their sons?

A common preconceived image of a Muslim in Hollywood movies is the idiot, violent, terrorist, ..etc. Some Westerns who have never seen a Muslim family before would claim that parents don't love their sons, that they may even "bomb" them!!!

Amro Khaled -5 years old-: was kidnapped by two criminals in Tanta, Egypt. After hard efforts from the Egyptian police, they returned the child to his parents.

The following video shows the moment when the mother met with her son.

Watch it and and tell us what you think ..

Another child killed!!

If you love your children, remember those who cannot express their love to their children in Palestine because Israel kill them with their children inside their homes.

Ramadhan al-Zalaan (12 years) died today because of the injuries he suffer from because of an Israeli raid beside his house. He was moved with members of his family to Shifaa hospital. 5 of his family are still in the hospital after they were injured from shrapnel of an Israeli rocket that stroke their home when they were asleep.

Bahgat al-Zalaan (42 years) -the child's father- funeral was made today.

3-8-2011: A historical day

Justice .. Equity!

Tomorrow, the world will witness something that never happened before. A former Arab president, his Interior minister and 6 other police officers will be tried in front of Egyptian court because of the charge of killing protesters. Hosni Mubarak and Habib al-Adly may face the sentence of death for giving the orders to kill over 900 Egyptian protesters since the beginning of 25th January's evolution. 

If the criminal is a humble poor man, if the criminal is the president, they will be tried. Or as Prophet Muhammad said more than 1400 years ago; "Past people was ruined because of this. They applied law to the poor and forgave the rich." That's all what we need to build "the state of justice".

Respect of conventions in Islamic Sharia

Are Muslims obliged to respect conventions signed with non-Muslims?

Islamic Sharia (legislation) did not consider the belief of others to oblige Muslims to respect conventions signed with other tribes or states.

Qur'an obviously and directly reveals that fact in "Repentance" chapter in these verses revealed in the 9th year after prophet's immigration to Medina..

"3. And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage,- that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith.
4. (But the treaties are) not dissolved with those Pagans with whom ye have entered into alliance and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided any one against you. So fulfil your engagements with them to the end of their term: for Allah loveth the righteous."

They are pagans who worship stone idols beside Allah, however Allah order Muslims who signed a convention with them to "fulfil your engagements with them to the end of their term"!

How a Great God, how a Just God!

There are other verses in Qur'an that order Muslims to respect conventions and contracts in general..

"O ye who believe! fulfil (all) obligations." Surah 5: verse 1

".. and fulfil (every) engagement, for (every) engagement will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning)." Surah 17: verse 34 

".. to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; .." Surah 2: verse 177

"How can there be a league, before Allah and His Messenger, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for Allah doth love the righteous. " Surah 9: verse 7

"Fulfil the Covenant of Allah when ye have entered into it, and break not your oaths after ye have confirmed them; indeed ye have made Allah your surety; for Allah knoweth all that ye do. " Surah 16: verse 91

A verse from Qur'an

"Say: "I am but a man like yourselves, (but) the inspiration has come to me, that your Allah is one Allah. whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and, in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner. "

Qur'an - Surah 18, verse 110

Why shall we cheer up?

The answer is easier than we imagine..

Allah say in Qur'an: ".. if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people." Surah 5: Verse 32

And the punishment of those who kill innocents and terrorize safe people in Qura'n is: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter" Surah 5: Verse 33

And Prophet Muhammad -Peace Be Upon Him- said: "Whoever kills a person whom we have a treaty will not even come closer enough to Paradise to smell its scent." Sahih Bukhari

Usama Bin Laden committed and incited to kill innocents around the world. A just punishment for him is the "qisas", who kills must be killed. The world has get rid of his evil.

That's why we shall cheer up. When a criminal is punished, we cheer up. When justice is applied, we cheer up.

One mega criminal has been killed, but there are still tens of butchers who must be captured and be presented to a just trial. Ghaddafi, Sharoon, Olmert, Livni, Basshar, Mubarak, Habib al-Adly, etc.

Great Success to Egyptian Revolution

Now, the Egyptians have really "made it"!!

With Mubarak, Egyptian former-president, now jailed waiting for a just trial, Egypt has surpassed many barriers and broke many rules that were put as rigid & unbreakable rules in the Arab world for decades. Rules that enforce full immunity on rulers and ban criticism against them.

Today we can see a great saying being achieved on ground..

"Past people was ruined because of this. They applied law to the poor and forgave the rich."

Prophet Muhammad said that more than 1400 years ago when a rich woman stole something, one of his companions was asked by the tribe of this woman to ask Prophet to forgive her. Prophet Muhammad denied and said that he will apply justice even on his own beloved daughter.

Yes, I'm glad that I could witness a criminal on his way for a just trial, even he is a former-president. From now on, no one will escape from justice.

From Egypt With Love

"If I wasn't an Egyptian .. I would dream to be an Egyptian"

"Which is better, to be born in an advanced country, or to be born in a non-advanced country?

The second answer is the correct one. Why?

Because a person who is born in an advanced country will take every advantage for granted, he will make no effort to obtain his rights. But in a non-advanced country you will fight to obtain your rights and to make your country better, you will feel the sweetness of victory."

I heard these words years ago, but I only felt them these days.

No one can describe the proud and happiness that fill the hearts of millions of Egyptians and Arabs in Egypt, Arab countries and around the world. It's a historical achievement compared to the greatest and most proud revolutions of peoples. The people decided to change the regime, and the people changed the regime.

Along thousands of years, Egypt was ruled by "god" rulers, "sons of gods", kings, and militant rulers. Few were just rulers, some were good and many were oppressors, but none of them was chosen by the Egyptian people. Even in the 1952 revolution, when the king of Egypt was overthrown, it was a movement that came from the army then supported by the people. But now, for the first time since the time of the Pharaoh, it's made by the Egyptian people and then supported by the army.

It's a great revolution that revealed to the world the real Egyptian. Positive, Civilized, Peaceful, United, Immovable, Brave, Technological and even Humorous are all descriptions of those who made this revolution succeed..

Positive: For years, young men were considered as useless and negative who don't have a perspective for the future. Elder were totally surprised of what young men have achieved in 18 days.

Civilized: Over 2 million Egyptians existed in Tahrir Square and nearby streets, and other millions protested in streets of Egypt. In 25th Jan, protesters offered flowers and clapped hailing the men of police. Ground under their feet was perfectly clean. No harassment was made against any girl or woman. Hotels and restaurants were safe. Some mega stores were stolen by thieves and some police corrupt members, but the noble people returned the stolen goods. Protesters in Tahrir square shared food, drink and sleeping tents. Female protesters were hosted in the apartments of the neighborhood.

Peaceful: Protesters around Egypt chanted repeatedly: "Peaceful demonstrations!" and they were truly peaceful! The clashes happened only when the hired men of the regime went down to the streets to fight and kill the peaceful protesters. But when those hired men disappeared, violence disappeared.

United: Demonstrations started on 25th Jan by hundreds of young men and young women who are members on social network groups, but by the end of the day all social classes shared in the demonstrations. Young and old, male and female, rich and poor, employed and unemployed, urban and rural, computer experts and ignorants, Muslim and Christian. Egyptian people was united for the first time since long years on one target.

Immovable & Brave: Along the 18 days, I thought with every new sunrise that protesters will give up and return home, but they never. They faced rubber bullets, tear gas bombs, Molotov cocktails, whips, horses, camels, stones and arrests. Over 300 were killed, many lost their eyes, and many were injured, but they never gave up. Doctors in the Field Hospital in Tahrir square tell about young men who were injured and healed many times, every time they return after receiving medical treatment to defend with their companionship!

Technological: Facebook and Twitter were the main motivation of the revolution by providing the tools for young men to gather, exchange perspectives, share images and videos, and plan to marches. Also, cellphones were eyes and ears that made the world see the crimes of the regime against protesters that lead at the end to light up the excitement of protesters.

Humorous: Egyptian is known for his sense of humor, even when he is changing the dictator regime and making a revolution he is making jokes. Funny scenes were made inside Tahrir square mocking the symbols of corruption and bad life circumstances. Jokes spread also on Facebook, Twitter and among normal people. An Egyptian will always be an Egyptian. :)

It is a great revolution that will inspire mankind for decades. I am proud to live on this land, at this time, and to be a member of this generation that started a revolution that will change, maybe, the whole world forever.
