If it wasn’t enough that the Turks, under Atatürk, abolished the Khalifah, removed the Arabic script to be replaced by Latin, banned women from wearing the hijab and men from wearing beards, the Turks wish to insult and harm Islam even further.

They are not content with their previous attempts to harm Islam, now they wish to REINTERPRET the ahadith to fall in line with ‘modern’ thinking.

It looks like mentality of Ataturk (may Allah give him what he deserves) still resonates in the mindset of many of the Turks, many years after his death.

Will you be surprised to read that the new death toll for patients in Gaza’s hospitals has risen to 98?  Will you be shocked to learn that 17 of these people were children?  Are you really surprised to learn that these deaths are due to the terrorist State of Israel’s refusal to allow medicines in to the Gaza Strip, or allow these patients access to other countries?

I didn’t think so!  so what are we doing to help?

Firstly, let us make du’a for the dead and ask Allah to forgive them their sins and elevate them into gardens of pure bliss and we can ask that Allah gives their families patience and steadfastness.

I have managed to get hold of the names of the children that died as a result of Israeli terrorist behaviour.  please take their names in your du’as.

On Friday 15 February, there were reports from the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem that a 2 meter long and 1.5 meter wide crater had appeared within the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, as the ground beneath it caved in.

The landslide occurred near Al-Silsila (Chain) Gate and Qatibai Water Fountain at the mosque’s western side.

Palestinians have blamed Israel’s intermittent digging and tunnelling for the collapse. In February, Israeli bulldozers began demolishing the wooden bridge leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque’s Al-Maghariba Gate and two underground rooms, sparking widespread protests.

At the time, archaeologists warned that levelling the mound on which the wooden bridge was built would threaten the foundation of Al-Aqsa Mosque and open the way for more Israeli excavations. Wide-spread tunnelling and digging has occurred under the sacred Al-Aqsa site since the 1990′s, and continues. There have been repeated warnings about the results of this digging on the architectural integrity of the Al-Aqsa compound.
