IN THE NAME OF ALLAH WHO IS MOST BENIFICIAL AND BENEFACTOR.
THE TRUE AND REAL SENSE OF CORE HUMAN VALUES, THE TRUE AND REAL WOMEN'S RIGHT, THE RESPECT AND DIGNITY. 
Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 63 :: Hadith 206
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Barira's husband was a slave called Mughith, as if I am seeing him now, going behind Barira and weeping with his tears flowing down his beard. The Prophet said to 'Abbas, "O 'Abbas ! are you not astonished at the love of Mughith for Barira and the hatred of Barira for Mughith?" The Prophet then said to Barira, "Why don't you return to him?" She said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you order me to do so?" He said, "No, I only intercede for him." She said, "I am not in need of him."

The above mentioned Hadith shows how fiercely women guarded their independence and free-thinking. A slave woman called Barira negotiated her freedom and the money was paid by a wife of the Prophet. After her freedom, Barira exercised her legal right to annul her marriage with Mughith, the man she had married when she was a slave. Mughith was deeply in love with Barira and could not bear to be separated from her. He would cry inconsolably and roam the streets of Medina chanting her name. The Prophet saw him one day and moved by his condition asked Barira, "Why don't you return to him?" Barira asked, "Do you order me to do so?" The Prophet replied, "No. I only intercede for him." Barira turned down the advice by saying, "I am not in need of him"

The Cracks Are No Longer Hairline

For decades, Washington treated support for Israel as something beyond debate. It was political scripture. Republicans defended it. Democrats defended it. Presidents came and went, wars came and went, thousands died, settlements expanded, Gaza burned, and the checks kept arriving. Questioning the arrangement was once political suicide. Now the walls are cracking. This week, more than half of House Democrats either voted to end U.S. aid to Israel or refused to oppose doing so. The amendment failed, but something far more important succeeded. The illusion collapsed. For years, American politicians insisted that criticism of Israeli government policy belonged only to "the fringe." Apparently the fringe has become half the Democratic caucus. History has an unusual sense of humor. The same establishment that spent years dismissing students, academics, humanitarian workers, doctors, journalists, and millions of protesters as naïve, radical, or antisemitic now finds itself strugglin...

When the Soup Kitchens Begin to Die

There is a special kind of cruelty in watching not only a society collapse, but also the last institutions keeping it alive. For nearly three years, Gaza's humanitarian lifeline has increasingly been reduced to a queue for a single meal. Parents no longer ask their children what they would like to eat. They ask whether there will be anything to eat at all. Childhood has become measured not in birthdays, classrooms, or family gatherings, but in ration lines, empty cooking pots, and the uncertain arrival of humanitarian assistance. Now even those fragile lifelines are disappearing. The gradual closure and scaling back of World Central Kitchen (WCK) operations reflects a convergence of financial pressures, operational insecurity, and restrictions affecting humanitarian access. According to World Central Kitchen and the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem, kitchens that once produced approximately one million meals each day have been progressively reduced, leaving only a han...

Blood on Every Flag: The Global Architecture of Gaza’s Genocide.

  “This Is Not Just Israel’s War — It’s the West’s Genocide Too” “I think it is without doubt that Israel has committed war crimes.” — Matthew Miller , Former U.S. State Department Spokesperson ( source ) This rare moment of candor from a former U.S. official pierces through the fog of political posturing. But let’s be clear: It is not only Israel that has committed war crimes. It is the United States . It is the United Kingdom. It is Germany . It is France . These nations — and their allies — are not merely complicit. They are co-perpetrators of a genocide. 🇺🇸 United States: Chief Financier of Bloodshed $14+ billion in emergency military aid approved for Israel since October 2023 ( source ) 4 vetoes at the UN Security Council blocking ceasefire resolutions ( source ) Full diplomatic cover , even after Israel bombed aid convoys and hospitals “We stand with Israel.

Islamic Economy

ISLAMIC ECONOMY VS CAPITALISM The whole world is particular about economy which is considered as the main source of life. Every nation and every country strive hard to strengthen their economic situation. When the economy of a country is strong, the country will advance in many other fields like industries, technologies and even military. The strong economy enables a country to take over another country. Little wonder, economy is always the focus of all the world leaders. The Muslim world are also in the race. They are also strengthening their economy. Many via the capitalist system introduced capitalism in their countries, supported by the Western countries. The Muslim forget that Islam has its own economic system which is far better than the capitalist. Under Islamic economy, God is the essence. The capitalist’s main focus is profitability per se. The concept of love and care in undertaking business decision is almost non existing. Economy regarded as good deeds for the ...
