Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh

 

Alhamdulillah syukur ... for understanding in bits and pieces ...

I was reading this ...

Al Sisi of Egypt

an article that originally appeared in Utusan Malaysia (in fact i read this in Utusan Malaysia last week and it's somewhere among the pile of "old newspapers" (read it like that of old newspapers buyer - only in Malaysia) ... 

i had a mind to scan that article then ... and write about it but then i procrastinate(d?). Today i came across it again while google searching for something ... as usual :)

Original Article ... : http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/09/16/al-sisi-jew/

and that article led me to this ...

for a brief on the event please copy and paste this address ... about Eli Cohen

a Zionist spy caught in Syria ... the above was an excerpt from Radio of Israel about their hero ... why i did not link it ... the truth is once in a while i received virtual visitors from Israel ... once in while okay ... but not too often ... i am not important okay :)

i share this because being a wanita myself i used not to pay heed to such matters of the nations ... because i thought it is beyond my control ... and "i'm not even the mayor of the city" (this is another story altogether :) ...

but then again i realize that however small or insignificant we think we are ... writing and sharing of information is indeed a powerful means of disseminating understanding of real life issues about the ummah ...

we may agree or we may disagree ... but we should be able to ponder based upon varieties of information ... and decide what is closest to the truth - that is in the case where we could not determine the truth ...

now ... defeated by trees ... alludes to the advice of Eli Cohen to the Syrian to plant trees as shade for  the Syrian Armies ...

and the same trees were used by the Zionist army to locate and destroyed the Syrian ... during the six days war ...

~

lesson learned is ... sometimes something appeared to be good advice ... but we also must understand thoroughly the person and his or her agenda for the advice ...

my favourite is the SWOT analysis ... the easiest method for decision making in real life ... and Istikharah Solat seeking Allah's guidance :) ... in this i was reminded by Al Marhum Datin Ustazah (May Allah SWT forgive and redha her) ... she said do Istikharah Solat even for your daily affair ... seeking Allah's guidance for every step we take ...

Allahu'alam
