…snap::twenty…

…snap twenty…look what they have done to our beloved Jabal Uhud…desecration of a different kind by adding such an eye sore…four signs in four languages conveying the usual rant…actually our visit yesterday was quite surreal…Turkish brothers where playing soccer with the local street urchins…the ones who usually are pleading for money…another group were gathered around making Du’a and chanting Salawat…the narrow alleyway was congested with many walking to and from the site as well as cars unable to move as just below these signs was a ‘vice car’ with a single young ‘vice squad brother’ attempting to tell people to either not climb to the cave, or to come down immediately…a comedy of futility as not one person was paying him any attention…power to the people…a Jabal Uhud Spring!!

All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam.  May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.

    Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh,
    LOL! I would have liked to be there at the time!! :) ))))) We all agree they are so ugly, they think signs are going to stop people from going up there?!

    Jazakallah for sharing!
    Hugs and Du`a from over here :)
    Wassalaamu Alaikum.

    Wa ‘alaikumus Salam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
    Dear Bint Asiyah,
    I giggle thinking how we would have been if you were here!! :) )) I really have to control myself when these guys are about…not good Adab…as I should just walk away and make more Du’a for hearts to be filled with an intense love for all our Blessed Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam did and all places he went,
    Wassalamu alaikum

    Assalamu alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
    True Dearest Sister Saimah…as if these ugly signs are going to deter lovers! Maybe the opposite…that is the effect they have on me :) And after a thoroughly ugly series of run ins with these guys yesterday with a delightful group from the UK as we were doing a walking Ziyarah around Masjid Nabawi it makes me even more determined to continue to visit as many places our Beloved Messenger SallAllahu alaihi wasallam went and even more often!
    Yes, another tragedy in Pakistan, JazakiLlahu khair afor reminding us to make Du’a for all affected by all that Allah Ta’ala has written.
    Dear Convert Chica, I have uploaded a detail of the sign…love the final sentence…’May Allah return you to your country in peace’…like they can’t wait to be rid of the ‘troublemakers’!!!
    And yes, their signs are a blight on so many sites…these being very recent…though Alhumdulillah better than previous plans to dynamite the cave, or concrete it over, or attempt to fence off the area!
    My anger is on the boil after the way we were treated yesterday…Astaghfirullah!
    Wassalamu alaikum
