GAZA CITY — With thick clouds of smoke billowing into the sky and dead bodies littering into the streets, a stench of death rose from the ruins of the Gaza Strip on Saturday, December 27.“Where are my sons?” screamed Um Ibrahim as she ran hysterically looking for her little kids. She lives near a security compound Israeli planes pounded to the ground on Saturday. “I don’t know what happened to them,” cried the bereaved mother. Her neighbor Um Abed fell unconscious when she saw her son among the dead in the attacks. At least 206 Palestinians were killed in massive Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip on Saturday. “The number of victims has reached 195 martyrs with more than 300 wounded, 120 of whom are critically hurt,” said Moawiya Hassanein, the head of Gaza emergency services. “The toll has gone up because of new Israeli raids and the discovery of several martyrs under the rubble.” TV footage showed bodies of people scattered on the ground after Israeli attacks destroyed several security compounds. Some rescue workers beat their heads and shouted “God is greatest” as one badly wounded man lying nearby quietly recited verses from the Qur’an. The Israeli army confirmed the attacks, saying it was just the beginning of a bigger onslaught in the seaside strip. “The operation will go on and be intensified as long as necessary,” Defense Minister Ehud Barak told reporters. “The battle will be long and difficult, but the time has come to act and to fight.” Israeli leaders have vowed to launched a massive offensive to end Hamas rule in Gaza, sealed off by Israel since last June. Stench of Death Iyas was sitting in a security compound when he heard Israeli planes flying overhead. “I left the compound as soon as I heard the planes hovering overhead,” he said. “Moments later, the building was bombed down. My colleagues were torn apart,” he said, fighting back his tears. “It is a tragedy.”

Wish to increase your rizq (Provision) ?
Imam Haddad (rahmatu Allah alayh) gives us the best way from the Prophetic teaching of our beloved prophet Muhammad (sall Allahu alaihi wa sallam) in his book “Two Treatises Mutual Reminding and Good Manners” translated by Mostafa Al-Badawi
The great Imam (rahmatu Allah alayh) said ” A hadith states, The one who sits where he has just prayed, remembering God after the Dawn Prayer, is quicker to receive his provision than the one who travels the horizons (seeking provisions).” Page 58

With the throwing of shoes at President Bush recently much has been said and written. But as Muslims we should look to the People of knowledge for guidance and wisdom. This is shown in the post by our dear beloved Shaykh Faraz Rabbani (May Allah preserve him, and benefit us and the Muslims by him) below:
I honestly don’t see how throwing shoes at another human being is a dignified action, or something our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would have approved of, even against someone one was at enmity with.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself was attacked, abused, wronged, and opposed in the worst of ways, but he never responded with anything but the most beautiful, most dignified, and most restrained for conduct.
And Allah knows best.

The Prophet (sall Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
The best du’a on the day of Arafat and best what I and the others prophets before me said was:
لا إله إلاّ اللّه وحْده لا شريك له ، له الملك و له الحمْد ، و هو على كُلَ شيءٍ قدير
Transliterated: Laa ilaaha illa Allaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa Huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer
None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things(Tirmdhi)
It is recommended to increase in this du’a and others. This day is of with the most merits of the days of the year for du’a . Kitab Al-Adhkar from Imam Nawawi
