Palestina Amore

Palestina Amore-Al Jazeera World
With all the disturbing news stories about ethnic cleansing of Palestine, what can we do to help? What can little old me do to help? I wish I could go there and just do something, anything, it's not fair! Who gives anyone the right to tear families apart for land? Only Allah(swt) has the right to do what he pleases. One thing that we can do is make Dua for all the people on both sides of the fence. It's unfathomable what is happening to the innocent. But it's certainly not fair for me to judge. Making Dua is important and personal. If we all shift our focus a little bit to Palestine then Inshallah more tangible opportunities may arise.
  Last month Palestinian activist and revert to Islam, Lauren Booth visited a masjid here. She spoke about how her conversion started by delivering balloons in Gaza, but Israel wouldn't let her leave. After eventually being allowed to leave Gaza she then found herself in Iran. Where upon visiting the Shia Fatima al-Masumeh Shrine she declared herself a Muslim. Without her situation in Gaza she may have not embraced Islam the way she did. She is now actively involved in helping the world understand the truth behind the Israeli Occupation. If something as simple as a balloon inspired Lauren Booth to become involved, then surely making Dua for Palestine is even better. As she explains, "Why is Palestine so important to the Ummah? Out of all the cities in world, why did Allah(swt) choose Palestine so rise the Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H up on his night journey before ascending? Because Allah(swt) wants us to always look towards Al Aqsa and never forget Palestine or its people."

"Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing."
