The young marriage of Ashia in islam , the Pocahontas paradox ( yes she was 10 years old )

In the name of Allah most gracious most merciful.

One of the things that some non-muslims bring up about islam was the young marriage  Ashia to the Prophet may Allah be pleased with him was . She was betrothed to be marred when she was 6 and the marriage occurred when she had matured to 9 as was the custom of her time and the society that they lived in . 

A couple things about this 

1. This was done because it was the prevailing cultural norm , it was not something that the prophet may allah be pleased with him came up with on his own . In fact when he came to the pagan arabs , jews and people around who disbelieved in the message of islam they started to say all kinds of things. His he had an impeccable personal character however and this was never taken to account . What was said about him is recorded in the books of history collected at his time called hadith and even in the quran itself . He was called a poet , a mad man , someone who just spoke tales of people gone past . However his marriage to Ashia was never called to account nether by any pagan arab , jew or Christian in their time , simply because was the cultural norm back then.
2. It was the cultural norm in our society not to long ago, before access to secondary schools, when you basically grew up and went on to cut cane and have children, in our country this happened your family would go to a family geography far off ask for their daughter hand in marriage and there you go an arranged marriage.
3. The mere fact that we have words like arranged marriage or betrothed shows how normal this was once in our own society.
4. Ok lets get into the whitewashing, a revisionist history if you will . Many , many well known and accepted women who were married or otherwise romantic involved in western societies were very young , a quick google search can name a few , Juliet from Romeo and Juliet the Shakespeare play was only 13 years old but in Modern movies they make her older to hide that fact . the case in Europe: five centuries after Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha, 33-year-old King John of England married 12-year-old Isabella of Angoulême. In the case of one of the latest Disney princesses Pocahontas she was 10 years old , yet in the movie she is made up to be much older to blend into the modern times . Why ?
5. Why would the Prophet may the peace and blessings of Allah be on him marry ashia , a few reasons . One to cement the family relationship with another person in is islam name abu bak , he was to go on to become the his successor and first khalif . To be an example of how to deal with a young wife , eg taking her on dates and stuff . And yes that really happened in a very public way teaching he muslims that islam it is important to take your wife on dates particularly when she if she was young . Its not just about the charity or prayer. 
6. The prophet may Allah be pleased with him had more than 1 wife , again as was the custom of his time . Ashia was the only virgin , all the rest were either divorced or widowed acting as an example of how to marry an older woman even a woman with many children for muslims to follow . A fact that I find no talks about . 
7. About Ashia the muslims owe her an debt that can not be paid for who she was and her impact and contribution to islam . She was brilliant. She learnt alot of islam directly from the prophet may Allah be pleased with him , himself . Some of the quran was actually revealed about her in particular. She became a prolific narrator and teacher of hadith , the senior muslim scholars in her time when they had disputes went to her to resolve them . She was particular good at explaining what the prophet may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him in his house , because none of the companions would see him there but she would see him, learn about how he used to pray at night how he slept , how he was at home mending his own clothes. Living with his family in a normal way except when the time for the pray came getting up and going for the pray . Things only she living with him could could see. 
8. At one point in time the a faction of the muslims actually rallied around her and she let armies such was her place in honor and respect that they had for her . This was Ashia feel free to ask me anything else that you want .

Palestinian and a south african going to the international criminal court

 

Israel vs Palestine war 2023

By Asim Wajid AliI feel the same way 

. The Israel vs Palestine war has been going on for almost 80 years. Both sides are guilty of war crimes. People are treating this like a contest and picking sides. I'm a Muslim and I can see blame on both sides, for every point you can make about the Muslims, you can make one about the Jews, every death you can attribute to terrorists, you can attribute honestly far more to the Israelite government (6400 dead in Palestine vs 300 dead in Israel since 2008, not counting current

My point is there are no winners, neither side is willing to give and as such both will continue to suffer. The sad thing is, like most situations, it isn't the governments or soldiers who suffer the most. It's the civilians.

What Hamas has done in the most recent attack is unforgivable, I will not support their actions no matter the past sufferings, Muslims have NOT been taught to kill Jews as the rhetoric goes, only extremists think that way, like all religions, we got them too.

But look at the response of the "victim" Israelites... bombing a city and killing hundreds, perhaps soon thousands of civilians, men women and children. I see no difference in these actions. You can't call it retaliation if you're not confronting your attacker. It's like someone shoots a person and hides in a house, and you respond by burning down the neighborhood, not caring if you get that person or not.

I don't pretend to know the answer, I can't say what's the right thing to do... all I know for sure is children are dying by the hundreds on both sides and the world only seems to be debating who's on the side of right.

The civilians, the children, these are the victims.

The People in Power, the Leaders, these are the terrorists.

Us, the world, we are the fans to the flame by choosing sides.

There are no sides... there are no winners in this war.

Only dead and terrified people who never asked to be in this conflict.

Ukraine Russian will end in June 2025

 

Date June 9 2023

Then Ukraine war can only end in one way stalemate. Ukraine can not and will never

 invade or conquer Russia or even set soldiers on Russian soil, they neither have the

 manpower nor will NATO allow the attack on a Nuclear power. Nor has Russia

 demonstrated the ability to conquer Ukraine out right. So there are only the questions of when and the terms of the peace deal. 

 

The when is easy I personally think it will happen 6 months after the 2025 United States 

presidential election. So about June 2025. Why? because Biden will lose the election to

 Trump and Trump is all about the deal. He has shown his weakness in the face of Russia

 so much so that there are actually running joke. I think

 that he will frame his intervention as him being a statesman and bring peace and an end

 to the war, I am sure that this will be celebrated with his base. And  NATO will follow

 whatever the US does.

 

The terms of the deal as far as the land, and the borders will probably be whatever the

 military line of control is on the ground while the deal was made. If I was to put money

 on it I would say Russia should hold on to most of Crimea, even if there is any sort of

 gain of land in the Crimea then part of the peace deal will give control of military sea

 bases for the Black Sea and its defendable land and some sort of connection to Russia.

 To the east, this is the battle zone Ukraine will fight Russia taking back some of the land

 while Russia would keep some. The long-term goal of any Ukrainian military

 commander is to capture and hold as much of this land as possible.

 To NATO or not to NATO that is the question do you allow Ukraine to join NATO? I

 have no idea. I know Russia will not like it and ironically enough one of the reasons that

 Russia would have had to invade Ukraine was to prevent it from joining NATO but has

 had the opposite effect causing countries like Finland and Sweden to want to join NATO

 too. My money is that it will probably be some kind of buffer state between NATO and

 Russia, but that is a strategic decision that is not easy to predict. However, Ukraine

 would probably be allowed to join the EU if its economy is in line with EU standards.

Khushoo' In Salah - Great Story Of Silah Ibn Ashyam (Student Of Ibn Abbas) and The Lion

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was narrated that Ja'far ibn Zayd al-'Abdi said, "We went out on campaign to Kabul [the capital of Afghanistan today] looking forward to conquest it, and among the army was Silah ibn Ashyam. When the darkness of the night spread while we were on our way, the soldiers stopped to eat and then they sought some rest. I followed Silah to see what he will do, so he did the same, and he went to sleep as they all did…" He used to do so out of sincerity; Silah did not want to make any noises while he heads to offer his night prayers. "I said to myself, 'Is this Silah who is known by his worshiping at night to such an extent that his feet get swollen?' Then I decided to watch him all night to see what he will do.

 When the other soldiers fell in deep sleep, Silah left his bed and started walking away from the camp disguised by darkness, then he entered a lush jungle covered with wild grass on which no man set a foot for a long time. I decided to follow him, and upon reaching a far spot in that wood, he headed towards Qiblah, offered Takbeer and started his prayer. I looked at his face and all I saw was a radiant moon, a calm body and a tranquil soul. He seemed to find affability in estrangement, closeness to Allah in being away from people and brightness in the dark night. As he continued offering his Salah, a big lion approached him from the east side of the wood, and I felt as if my heart was dislocated from its place out of fear till the lion was few steps away from Silah. By Allah, he did not flinch away from his Salah, or give the lion any attention, so when he prostrated, I said to myself, "Now the lion will pounce upon him", but when he raised his head from Sujood and sat, the lion stood before him as if it was checking him out, Silah looked at the lion in complete calmness, and he uttered few words with his tongue which I could not hear…" It seems that he sought refuge with Allah from this lion. "Suddenly, the lion turned around and went away just like it came." 

 "When the Fajr came, Silah offered Fajr and started praising Allah in words I have never heard before. He said, 'O Allah I ask You to ransom me from Hellfire, for will the like of me dare to ask You (for) Paradise?'. Then, he went back to the camp in a state as though he had spent the night on his mattress so that they would think that he spent the night sleeping as they did. So I returned to my bed, and woke up in a state of laziness and tiredness."

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt have condemned the deadly knife attack in France on Thursday. 

Egypt’s highest religious authority Al-Azhar condemned “the hateful terrorist attack that took place” in France on Thursday and warned of an “escalating rhetoric of violence and hatred."

“Under no circumstances are these attacks justifiable," Al-Azhar said in a series of tweets.

Saudi Arabia “categorically rejected extremist acts” while “stressing the importance of avoiding all practices which generate hatred, violence and extremism," state news agency SPA said. 

The Emirati Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash commemorated Islam’s Prophet’s birthday, marked on Thursday, saying: “On this cherished memory, we affirm that the discourse of violence and extremism does not represent us."
