In the month of Muharram, a sadness prevails the Muslim community. It is the month of remembering Hussein, the martyr of Karbala, where he was killed alongwith a handful of his sympathizers in cold blood by Yazid and his army. THe force of an army against some innocent people, who dared to speak up against injustice.Flash forward to 2009. Yazid died but lost to the nature of Hussain's sacrifice.Hussain has become a symbol of speaking up against cruelty and giving his life foe the cause. HE lives on in death. As 10th Muharram approaches, the Israeli jets and tanks pound Gaza from 3 sides. People have no food, no water, no electricity!They are getting killed mercilessly while other MUslims watch. Is there another Karbala in the making?
History surely repeats itself. The Israelis have not learnt from history. No one can change an ideology by force. Palestinians will fight back. Our prayers are with you, Gaza. Gaza will live on!
Humans are getting killed ... And this is the reality - nothing can be done - whoever has the power - will flaunt it - whenever it wants :( -
ReplyDeleteJustice / truth / laws - nothing matters. Only power does :(.
Man was supposed to be a "social" animal though :(.
Amen to your Dua.
Let justice and punishment reach those deserve em, and reach em fast.
Yes,we should pray for the Gazans. This is the least we can do.
ReplyDeleteJUstice/truth/laws do matter. I would like to believe it,because these ideals give us the ability to look for a better life. Otherwise, if power is taken to be all in all, we would live in constant gloom.
