how to deal on Gaza issue..
Sarah Joseph said:
The situation in Gaza is distressing in the extreme. Israel as the Occupying Power over the Palestinian Territories has moral and legal responsibilities over the people in Gaza, to ensure their safety and security. Instead, it's aggression has killed innocent people, including young children. If Israel is responding to the rockets fired from Gaza, then its use of excessive and disproportionate force against unarmed civilians is wholly unacceptable, and should cease immediately. For those of us watching the horrors via the media and the internet, it is easy to feel a mixture of negative emotions: anger, hatred, despair, impotence. Here are a few ideas to attempt to deal with these emotions that may also build a culture where such an attack on Gaza becomes unacceptable on a global basis.
1. Stay calm, focused and in control at all times.
2. Write a letter to the leader of your nation that details how you find the human tragedy unacceptable. Ask them to request Israel to immediately cease the attack. If your nation is offering support to the attack then explain that as a citizen of a nation you find this totally unacceptable.
3. If you believe in God, pray! Then pray some more. Now here's the tricky bit, pray that the violence stops, but also pray that the hearts of Israeli citizens are turned against this violence, and opened to peace and coexistence, so they themselves will request the attack to cease.
4. Give to a charity that is operating in Gaza. There will be a desperate need for medical resources, food, etc. Even if it is a tiny amount, give. The collective amount will increase exponentially if we all give something.
5. Become aquainted with the historical facts, and with the a discourse on the current situation. There are a number of good books on both. For a quick and easy read, I suggest "Extreme Ramblings" by Mark Thomas for a view of The Wall.
6. Hold an event that promotes the culture and people of Palestine. We have to humanise the situation and show that this is not a Muslim issue, but a human issue.
7. Reach out to others beyond your own community-people from other faith groups, people from other nations, and explain the situation to them. Hence the important of points 1 and 5 above.
8. Write to the media explaining where their coverage was good, and where it was biased in favour of the Israeli attack.
9. Take to the social media forums and forward articles, information etc that helps our understanding of the situation.
10. Do not hate. Hatred pollutes the soul. If you say that this is impossible then read the works of Izzledien Aboulaish who lost three daughters in the 2009 Israeli incursion into Gaza. Here is an interview with him on YouTube: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=uslS-In4hPQ&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DuslS-In4hPQ&gl=GB
11. Know within your heart that such injustice cannot and will not continue. It goes against the natural order, which demands justice. Similar inhumanities have occurred in our human history, and were resolved.
12. Be a source of good for your community, for your fellow humanity, and for the world. Work for good in whatever way you can.

never regret..
Satu hari seorang lelaki yg frust dgn isterinya telah pergi kpd Amirul Mukminin Umar al Khattab utk mengadu, tiba di rumah Amirul Mukminin dia terkejut mendengar jeritan isteri pemimpin umat Islam itu sedang mmarahi Umar al Khattab ra. Dia pun merasakan kesamaan antara isterinya dgn isteri Amirul Mukminin, iaitu sikap cerewet & tak menghargainya, lantas dia pun pergi... Tiba2 Amirul Mukminin memanggilnya.. Dia pun datang kembali kepadanya lalu mengatakan dgn hampa.. Aku menyangkakan aku Saja yg Ada masalah dgn isteriku.. Rupa2nya Tuan pun menghadapi masalah yg sama ! Apa jwpn Amirul Mukminin ??? Jawapan yg menampakkan hikmah beliau spt yg Nabi sifatkan , katanya pd lelaki yg mengharapkan kesempurnaan pd seseorang isteri itu, Wahai sahabat! Ketahuilah olehmu bhw isteri adalah anugerah Allah utk kita, Mereka banyak berkorban utk kita, memasak utk kita, membasuh pakaian, melahirkan anak2 utk kita Dan mendidik anak2.. Adatnya memang kadang2 Ada kesilapan.. Tapi ketahuilah olehmu Wahai saudaraku, satu hari pasti tiba, Samada mereka wafat sebelum kita lalu kita berehat Dari kekurangan & kejahatan mulut mereka yg mungkin tak disengajakan, atau kita yg pergi sebelum mereka, lalu mereka tak dapat menyakiti kita lagi dgn sikap atau ucapan... Wahai saudara hadapilah hidup ini dgn kesabaran, kerana dunia tak pernah sempurna... Sekian Tamat.. Jom sama2 kita menghargai para isteri... Seeeru 'ala barakatilLah ( teruskan kehidupan dengan keberkatan yang Ada di sisi Allah) ...

to my ' a bundle of joy'..
My beloved Ammar Shahmie...
You have brought me
nothing but pure joy since that very first moment.
Watching you grow,
absorbing the world around you, inquisitive and delighted to learn,
I’m
reminded each day of the treasure you bring into my world.
As all

I have, as you can
imagine, dozens of them, but on this anniversary of that laughing
moment,
I will limit myself..
and my ‘one to grow on’ - I wish to be
here for each of your moments…. to keep you on track..
Happy birthday my
buddy..
I will always love you and pray for you may Almighty Allah
continue shower upon you with His blessing..
