Truly...
We are an ummah..that LOVES to *TALK*!!!
The Attacks on Gaza...
It started with the news of innocent brothers and sisters getting killed left and right...and then it shifted into the arguments of should we call Prophet Ya'aqub (pbuh) Israel or not...to people competing with each other in posting graphic pictures of brothers and sisters injured or dead..then to discussions about the rafidha/shias...and now we're talking about Obama and some conspiracy theories...
WE REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE TO *TALK*!!!
Nations fly to the moon..attempt to clone humans..march for the rights of others..fight..vote..advance in education...begin social projects..etc.
WE JUST *TALK*
We just SIT and TALK!!!
May Allah Help Us!!!
I just want to ask...
What would arguments about which name of a prophet is more accurate is going to do for Gaza???
Will the clips and the pictures everyone is posting act as the remedy to the pain and suffering of the people of Gaza???..will it make the zionist sorry???...will it protect those living in fear????...what will DISTURBING OTHERS AND DEPRESSING THEM bring to Gaza and its residence???
Who cares if a so-called "Imam" from a deviated people called people unto action and our Imams didn't????...we all know its just press-talk..why would you bother with it???..is there much to do about A COIN..with TWO FACES..both THE SAME??????
And why IN THE WORLD FROM ITS NORTH TO ITS SOUTH AND FROM ITS EAST TO ITS WEST...do we need to talk about Obama's family tree???..who appointed him..and who didn't???...WHO CARES??????!!!!!!!!!!
I am frustrated...I am really frustrated!!!
PEOPLE..GET OUT THERE AND *DO* SOMETHING...STOP TALKING AND *ACT*...PLEASE!!!
Go down to your basements or to your pantries...and fill bags of canned foods...split the amounts in half..or better yet..if you are able..CLEAR OFF THE SHELVES INTO THE BAGS and may allah grant you every khair for doing so!!!
Go to your closets..and take clothes out...old..new...semi-used..big..small..wide..tight...whatever..take those clothes out..fold them and put them in bags...tell your kids (if you have any)...to pick out toys to give away to their brothers and sisters...and the one who picks the best toys..will be rewarded by your and Allah inshallah!!!
Go to your bank and withdraw a couple hundred dollars from your account..
NO YOU WON'T DROP DEAD IF YOU DID THAT!!!..OR *STARVE* EITHER..trust me..YOU'LL BE JUST FINE!
Head to the nearest pharmacy..buy band-aids...anti-biotic solutions...first aid kits...ANYTHING of the sort...and pack into bags...go to your local store..buy towels..soap..shampoo..anything of the sort...
If you're too lazy..that's okay...SEND THE MONEY TO AN ORGANIZATION!!!
Call up your neighbors...
IN FACT YOU KNOW WHAT???
Go knock the doors of your neighbors..and tell them of what you're doing for Gaza as a HUMANITARIAN ACT!!!!!
JUST SAY *THAT*...don't bring up hamas..fat'h..the zionist movement..the brits..WWII..
Unless you're in the congress or in a parliament..why would you get into any of this NOW???
Then...Call up for friends..or go to their houses...and tell them of what you're doing!!!!
It doesn't matter if you sound too passionate..May Allah Bless You...passion will just get people MOVING!
Go the masjid..and tell them..we are gathering such and such and such materials..everyone will bring them here...keep them for us until we find a way to ship them to Gaza!!!
Tell the Imam of the masjid to invite community members for a prayer solely for the souls lost..and for the ones suffering!!!
and believe it or not!!!
NON-MUSLIMS HAVE HEARTS TOO!!!...go to local organizations...go to churches...
YOU WON'T PRAY..YOU WON'T PRAISE JESUS..AND DON'T GREET THEM FOR ANYTHING..HOLIDAY..SCHMOLIDAY..NO YOU WON'T DO ANY OF THAT..AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE MISCONCEPTIONS OF ISLAM (FOR NOW!!!)...and talk to those in position...BE DIRECT AND ON POINT...
Say..I am so and so..I am a member of the community...and I am doing the following for the Gazans independently...HOW CAN YOU HELP ME???..WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ME???
Set aside the differences..set aside the conflicts...your brothers and sisters are in need...OBLITERATE WHATEVER STANDS IN YOUR WAY OF HELPING THEM!!!
Just GO OUT THERE AND GET SOMETHING *DONE* FOR ALLAH'S SAKE!!!
My local community is small unfortunately..but as the Public Relations Officer for my local MSA (Muslim Student Association) in my university..I have contacted the president and we are planning to send out emails and make phone calls to the masjid (for assistance and for a prayer day)..a few organizations..fellow student associations of other faiths..and yes..even churches...to do something for Gaza..it will be a bit hard as everyone is off from school and work for the time-being..but hey!!!...WE'RE STARTING SOMEWHERE...and darn it..we will have people listen and lend a hand!!!...it doesn't matter if end up with a 100 people or only 5...at least WE'RE *ACTING*...
AND NO!!!...
We didn't talk about the numbers of the victims...we didn't talk about who is right and who is wrong..who provoked who...brought up history...or consipracy theories...WE DON'T NEED THAT!!!...
We're not even going to talk about whether or not anything of what we're going to get will ACTUALLY REACH GAZA...
But you knowt what???
Even if everything was returned...even if everything was drowned..shot-down..damaged..or stolen...
WE DON'T CARE!!!
If one brother or one sister...at least HEARD that their brothers and sisters ALL THE WAY IN THE US...have spent days upon days gathering items for them..they split their food..their money..and even their clothes with them...and they shed a tear of gratefulness...
By Allah...WE ARE GOOD!!!...WE GOT WHAT WE WANTED...WE HELPED!!!
At least they'll know...THEY'RE IN OUR MINDS AND HEARTS
Politics is a game not in our courts...it is a game too advanced for us to participate in..it is in the hands of a selected-selfish-tyrant-few!!!
But *love* and *care* are within *our hands*..and *determination* and *sincerity* provide us the tools and the drive to ACT!!!
SO GO OUT THERE AND *A-C-T*...
DEBATE..TALK..CONVINCE..CLARIFY..LATER..
DO ALL OF THAT LATER!!!...Baraka Allaho Feekom..DO THAT *LATER*!!!
NOW...
Grab a paper and make a list of what you need to do and how you can do it..and begin on it...you have two days off to clear you head and put things together...SO GET STARTED!!!!!
Let's have TTI become another venue of ACTION...
All the brothers and sisters...please look up local organizations involved in action for Gaza...put their phone numbers...website addresses..and actual addresses...briefly state how..when..and where one can help..along with the location (i.e. city..state..country..etc.)...so we sort of have a *guide* dealing with this issue!!!
Also..if you have helped...do state how...put down your ideas..whether they have been accomplished...or not..*yet*...put them down so we can all benefit..and don't worry..it won't be riya'a inshallah...we are doing good for the *whole*..and nobody knows anybody *directly* here..so inshallah you will be safe from that...so put down all your ideas and all your actions without hesitations...
LET'S DO SOMETHING FOR GAZA...LET'S *DO* SOMETHING FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!!!
