“We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person – unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land – it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people..” (Al-Quran  5: 32)

I have to write this verse from Quran because some one killed over 50 innocent Muslims during the Eid paryer in Pakistan. The bomber was a ‘Muslim’ and all the people who lost their lives were also Muslims.  It is not Jihad or any favour to Islam, it is an act of pure personal revenege. I don’t how a person will go to Paradise by killing others by blowing himself/hersel? If someone tells me that this murderous act will open the gates of Paradise for me, I would ask that person to go ahead and try to enter the paradise himself? There are so many other ways which will help the humanity and at the same time add good deeds to my deeds list. 

Blessing of Allah comes to people who are united and not murdering each other and it is very odd that at the same time we look for help from Allah!  

I know there are two eids in North America even this year as some are following Saudi Arabia and rest are following local moon sighting. It is sad that we Muslims can not unite on this simple and basic issue let alone other major issues faced by Muslim Ummah. 

Hajj Mubarak to all as well who were the lucky ones this year.

 Take care and enjoy these happy momonts and dont forget to remember those who are less fortunate.
