That is some truly powerful stuff…SubhanAllah. Many people within our ummah are often forgotten because their issues/stories have been taken out of the context and news…however that doesn’t been a lasting legacy (past and a present one being lived)…was not and is not present for forgotten people of strife and conflict.

Bosnians, Palestinians, Kashmiris, Weegers (sp? of the Muslim Chinese), Afghanis, Iraqis, Syrians, Sudanese, etc, etc….all having had lived and do live through conflict. We should have compassion for and bestow help, rememberance towards all sufferers within the Ummah…not just towards the ones that get the most ‘marketing’ and ‘press’. Just because the media/news focuses on strife/events that bolster ratings now…does not mean other strife/suffering are not existing. And as for the ‘old’ strife that isn’t in the limelight now…that does not mean people aren’t feeling the residual effects now. And as we know; we should never forget the history and story behind what has shaped the present.

May Allah SWT reward everyone for their efforts and may we be a reflection of all that is good through Allah’s guidance and the Prophet’s examples…iA. Ameen
