What's happening in Ghouta, Syria is soul wrenching. For the trauma Syrians are facing now a days, to call them "oppressed" will be an understatement. May ALLAH SWT give Syrians and all humans around the globe patience in these testing times. We don't have anything to do for Syrians but to pray in their haq. May ALLAH SWT destroy the oppressors and help the people who're being tortured, specially children!
Avoid sharing without verifying:
In the days of "likes" and "shares", my humble request to everyone is avoid blind shares! There are many photo shopped images in name of Syria, many very old pics being recirculated again as fresh ones. Please don't fall prey to it. If you want to create awareness about how humanity is being killed among your circle, share from only authentic news reporting agencies and avoid anything which is a random post.
Want to help Syrians? Then here's food for thought:
Best help for fellow Syrian would be to pray for them. Qunoot-e-Nazila is being read in many mosques. Are we regular to Fajr to be part of these? Are we praying, crying in front of Allah SWT standing at night in tahajjud? We're not doing things which will actually help the cause, but are more interest in forwarding boycott images - which we also know that will be back in our life after a month. It reminds me of one of the favorite quote from supposedly from Shaykh Yasir Qadhi "If there is something you want in life and you are not praying tahajjud for it you don't really want it." Let's think over and act upon it.
May ALLAH SWT give me chance to act upon what I say and may He accept our deeds and duas, Ameen.
