What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.

[abdulbary]

All lies will be revealed, if not in this life then certainly in the hereafter. The affects of which will be much worst.

Some people meet the way the sky meets the earth, inevitably, and there is no stopping or holding back their love. It exists in a finished world, beyond the reach of common sense.

Omar Khadr, a sixteen year old Guantanamo Bay detainee weeps uncontrollably, clutching at his face and hair as he calls out for his mother to save him from his torment. “Ya Ummi, Ya Ummi (Oh Mother, Oh Mother),” he wails repeatedly, hauntingly with each breath he takes.

The surveillance tapes, released by Khadr’s defence, show him left alone in an interrogation room for a “break” after he tried complaining to CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) officers about his poor health due to insufficient medical attention. Ignoring his complaints and trying to get him to make false confessions, the officers get frustrated with the sixteen year old’s tears and tell him to get himself together by the time they come back from their break.

“You don’t care about me. Nobody cares about me,” he sobs to them.

The tapes show how the officers manipulated Khadr into thinking that they were helping him because they were also Canadian and how they taunted him with the prospect of home (Canada), (good) food, and familial reunion.

Khadr, a Canadian, was taken into US custody at the age of fifteen, tortured and refused medical attention because he wouldn’t attest to being a member of Al Qaeda, even though he was shot three times in the chest and had shrapnel embedded in his eyes and right shoulder. As a result, Khadr’s left eye is now permanently blind, the vision in his right eye is deteriorating, he develops severe pain in his right shoulder when the temperature drops, and he suffers from extreme nightmares.

He has been incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay since 2002, suffering extremely harsh interrogations and torture (methods), and is now 25 years old.

It’s time to shut down Guantanamo forever. This is sickening.

[needalifesaver]

This is fucking wrong. We can’t do better than this?

The Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria. It has been reported that Isa (Jesus) will descend to that minaret in the far end of the photograph. 

“Allah will send Maseeh ibne Maryam (Messiah son of Mary). Thus he will descend near the White Eastern Minaret of Damascus, clad in two yellow sheets, leaning on the shoulders of two angels.” -(Sahih Muslim, Vol. 8, P. 192-193)

One of the righteous while he was dreaming supplicated to Allah saying : O Allah guide me, how is to reach you .. ?! The answer came : remove yourself from yourself then, come .

Imam Ibn ʿArabī

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ حَاءِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَمِيمَيِّ المُلْكِ، وَدَالِ الدَّوَامِ السَّيِّدِ الْكَامِلِ الْفَاتِحِ الخَاتِمِ، عَدَدَ مَا فِى عِلْمِكَ كائِنٌ، أوْ قَدْ كَانَ، كُلَّمَا ذَكَرَكَ وَذَكَرَهُ الذَّاكِرُونَ، وكُلَّمَا غَفَلَ عَنْ ذِكْرِكَ وَذِكْرِهِ الْغافِلُونَ، صَلَاةً دَائِمَةً بِدَوَامِكَ، بَاقِيَةً بِبَقَائِكَ، لَا مُنْتَهَى لَـهَا دُونَ عِلْمِكَ، إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ O Lord, please send prayers upon Mohammed, the “H” of mercy and the two “M”s of sovereignty, and the “D” of continuity, the complete master, the opener, the concluder, as plenty as whatever is in Your knowledge, or was; whenever You and him are mentioned by the remembering and whenever Your and his mention is forgotten by the forgetting, prayers that last with Your lasting, and remain with Your remaining, never ending without Your knowledge, for You are capable of everything.

The foundation of Islam is built on praising, glorifying, and treating with dignity the leader of all the prophets,Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam. Such praise, glorification, and treating with dignity is praise for the entire religion; and its removal is the end of the religion. By not giving such respect to the prophet, all religion comes to an end. 

====== Imam Ibnu Taymiyyah (R.A.)========

 " إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلاَئِكَتَه يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ أمَنُوْا صَلُّوْا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِيْمًا " --الأحزاب :56

"The Lord and His angels send prayers upon the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye prayers upon him and salute him with all respect" [Al-Ahzab:56]

Guantanamo Bay detainees in Camp 4 praying morning/Fajr prayer.

Camp 4 is the only camp in the whole base in which “highly compliant” detainees are allowed to live communally, in ten-man bays. It is the only camp which journalists are allowed to photograph. Photographs of Guantanamo Bay hence always portray men in clean white shirts and white or brown pants, lazing around, walking freely, praying together, and playing sport.

However, Murat Kurnaz, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, recently commented on Camp 4:

… “I call (it) Camp Hollywood because it was made for journalists. When the journalist people are coming, they (the detainees) can play football, maybe the first time in five years. They (the guards) say that this is the same thing every day – they (the detainees) can play football, volleyball. And there is place for football and volleyball and basketball and when the journalists are filming they (the detainees) can (only) play that.”
