Hope for Gaza: Prayers for Peace & Mercy
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Assalamu Alaikum waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh
We are all aware of the suffering our brothers and
sisters in Palestine have endured over the last 60 years. The situation
has now escalated to crisis point, and over 400 have been killed, not to
mention the thousands who have been injured both physically and mentally
with the unjust torture they have witnessed. We've conducted rally's,
wrote to the organisations that are in positions of power, and signed
endless petitions….Unfortunately, our efforts demanding justice have been
ignored.
As Muslims we are aware that only Allah (subhanahu
wa ta'ala) can help us in times of need, when we have been ignored by
organisations that can make changes, when our efforts are fruitless, what
do we do? We turn to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala!!)
This is a plea to all Muslims out there, to unite,
to stand together and pray for our brothers and sisters in Palestine. We
cannot disregard the power of dua, and in times like this, when we feel we
have little or no control, we can turn to The One who has All Control and
Power.
We have decided to call for the following
campaign, to coincide with the current month of Muharram that we are in
and the day of Ashura. This campaign will require two days of your time
and for all who can participate, here are the requirements:
To fast for the 9th and 10th of Muharram
To stand in Qiyam ul Layl (Night Prayer) on
the night of the 9th and 10th of Muharram
If you cannot do the full two days, then please do
what you can, even if it's just an hour of 'Ibadah. We must remember that
our fasting and praying (as with all forms of 'Ibadah) are done for the
pleasure of Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) and for Him alone. However, the
virtues of the dua of a fasting person, and the dua of one who has
forsaken their sleep have been highlighted in the following hadith:
The Messenger of Allah (sallahu alayhi wa sallam)
said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (subhanahu wa
ta'ala)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication
of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler. [al-Bayhaqi,
at-Tirmidhi - Sahih]
Abu Hurairah (radiuallahu anhu) narrated that
Allah's Messenger (sallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: 'In the last third of
every night our Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer) (Allah (subhanahu wa
ta'ala) descends to the lower-most heaven and says; "Who is calling Me, so
that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is
seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?"' [Sahih al-Bukhari,
Hadith Qudsi]
We sincerely ask for the Ummah to do what they
can, there are many of us, and together we CAN make a difference, we can
make a CHANGE. Let's show others how we conduct ourselves in hard times,
how we show patience and perseverance, and most importantly, how we unite
in times of hardship.
The Messenger of Allah (sallahu alayhi wa sallam)
said: "Believers are like a structure, parts of which support one another.
The believers, in regard to mutual love, affection, fellow-feeling is that
of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of
sleeplessness and fever." [Sahih al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Please circulate this email to your friends,
family, to local Masjids, College/Universities, and Community Centre's
etc... Let's make this a collective effort.
Insha'Allah we are successful in our efforts. May
Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) help all the Muslims who are suffering around
the world, may He listen to our sincere duas and forgive us of our sins.
Ameen.
