Just when you think it could never happen to you, there it is and now you’re left to cope with it — the good, the bad and the ugly.... and sometimes it can.. More -
Visiting the sick – III
When visiting is not possible If visitation is not possible then calling the sick on the telephone or writing to them can also have a very positive effect.

Remembering often the ender of pleasures
You’re sitting comfortably on the sofa watching your favorite television show with your favorite person.

And before you can say anything, your eyes are forever closed as your soul is torn away from your body. Are you ready to meet your Lord?.. More -
Slamming the door to justice on Palestinians
Israel's ability to commit crimes against Palestinians with impunity relies on international complicity. There is a determined international effort to ensure that Palestinians are shut out of every legal forum where they could pursue justice for Israel's crimes against them. Nothing illustrates this better than the horrifying case of the Samouni massacre. L.. More -

A Game of Drones
America’s recent foreign policy has been enabled by a central idea: the United States does things differently. It wages wars differently. It suspends habeas corpus sparingly and with great restraint. It encroaches on liberties more gingerly. And it puts military men and women at risk with a respectful selectivity. To advance this mythology, the.. More -

She could not move; could not breathe;.. More -

Guided to Faith by a Blind Boy - II
I wiped away his tears with my hands and held his hand. I wanted to take him to the mosque by car but he refused, arguing that it was close by and that he wanted to walk to the mosque. I felt ashamed because I could not even remember the last time I had entered the mosque. However, it was the first time I was feeling fear and regret for my negligence.. More -
Guided to Faith by a Blind Boy - I
I still remember the night my wife gave birth to my first son. I was not yet thirty years of age and had stayed out with my friends in a restaurant all night. It was an evening full of vain talk, not to mention backbiting and vulgar comments. I was often the one who instigated the comments and backbiting that made them laugh. I remember that I made.. More
