muslims around the world.

yasser arafat passed away today. of what ailment, only God knows. but ihda fatihah for him. may his deeds be accepted for what they are worth, and may God accept him in kindness and mercy, by the grace of this month.

the conflict between palestine and israel is still not resolved, despite forty years of him trying. may He show mercy and pass relief over the people of Palestine soon.

iraq is still being bombarded despite being liberated. i really cannot think of what they are trying to prove. its the month of ramadhan for crying out loud, can't they show some respect? for every deed, there is its just reward. verily, He is Wise and Just.

singapore was shaken by a story of a man who tried to rob a bank. i just read that the man is a chinese muallaf, with a wife and four kids. what drove him to do it, only God knows. he got shot in the head and shoulder, but survived the shots and is being treated in hospital now. masya Allah.

just posting this, for the sake of remembrance, and contemplation.
