of 500,000 times more.

bismillah, 

yesterday -> Gaza: through our eyes by Dr. Zin Kandar. Venur: St. Michael's on the Mount

Alhamdulillah the turn out was overwhelming, people came from Portsmouth, Cardiff and of course the very far Bristol.  i think it was probably around ~150 people plus kids.

What were the learning points I gained?

> from the title itself, it's a retorical question on what perspectives are we using to view these issues : humanitarian, iman, ethical, or so on. 

> medan utk beramal bermacam-macam dan sgt besar. if we are not prepared to physically protect Palestine, the least is with funds and doa. From the funds insyaAllah many sectors can be developed (e.g bread factory, education - hufaz, lessons in mosques etc, dairy production to make cheese etc) it's like a modified saying,
"give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day, give a man a fishing rod and you'll feed him a lifetime"

> examples of Muslim who are walking the walk, and not just talking the talk are those who live in Palestine.  seeing from the how the Government works to the public's attitude, they are those who have a heart-close relationship to Qur'an and lives Islam fully.  one note to think about, even in the worst of conditions, we don't hear about any social issues happening in their society.  Inner peace. And it is not surprising that it relates back to dakwah & tarbiyah.

> It's true that Palestinians have a lot to teach us on how to live.  

I think where I sat is an invasion of this man's social skin. 

yours truly,
nmj
