On knowledge sharing and dissemination

... when circulating a working paper for comments, never put on "citations only permitted with the permission of author"

or "no parts of this paper can be used without permission of author". Rather, say "when using parts of this paper please give proper citation and help yourself". Be delighted if someone wants to quote you ... (p.7)

Light upon Light ...



Bismillah

A035

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.


~

It has been a long while ... and MasyaAllah Ustaz Nu'man's syarah on this beautiful verse is most apt to awaken me from the slumber of darkness into the shining light of the brilliant star ...
 
... Nurun 'ala nur ...

AlhamduLillah ... please take some moments to listen ...

... what's the point of a lamp if it does not light up its surrounding ...

Thank you for coming by :)

ethnic cleansing ... from the general's son



... dedicated to those who still think Palestinians are not reasonable ...

 Palestine Before 1948 ...
 Palestine Now

 ~

 the general's son ...


Miko Peled ...

One white racist promising another white racist another man’s land ...


zion ... 
gift of one white man - balfour ... to his friend another white man - rothschild ... in England ... and the gift? ... another man's land ... far far away ... Palestine
 (8:18)
 
Palestine cannot be reduced to the West Bank and Gaza  ...


 the entire country IS ... PALESTINE


her story contradicts the zionist narrative
(27:29)

the massacre of Deir Yassin ... thankfully as a result of the massacre the Arabs left ... and zionists could build and develop the state of israel ...
(28:28)

peace processes were attempts to bring the Palestinians to surrender ...


zionist - zero-sum game ...


thousands of Palestine prisoners ... not charged ... kids who throw stones are terrorists ...


the rights of people to resist  racist colonial regime ...

The Balfour Declaration

The Balfour Declaration (dated 2 November 1917) was a letter from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Baron Rothschild (Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild), a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland.
His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.[1]
The text of the letter was published in the press one week later, on 9 November 1917.[2] The "Balfour Declaration" was later incorporated into the Sèvres peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire and the Mandate for Palestine. The original document is kept at the British Library.


and this was the Palestinian response to the declaration ...

On November 1918 the large group of Palestinian Arab dignitaries and representatives of political associations addressed a petition to the British authorities in which they denounced the declaration. The document stated:
...we always sympathized profoundly with the persecuted Jews and their misfortunes in other countries... but there is wide difference between such sympathy and the acceptance of such a nation...ruling over us and disposing of our affairs.[31]

when he pressed the button ...


yes ...

when he pressed a button ... in New Mexico USA ... someone died ... on the other side of the world ...

For more than five years, Brandon Bryant worked in an oblong, windowless container about the size of a trailer, where the air-conditioning was kept at 17 degrees Celsius (63 degrees Fahrenheit) and, for security reasons, the door couldn't be opened. Bryant and his coworkers sat in front of 14 computer monitors and four keyboards. When Bryant pressed a button in New Mexico, someone died on the other side of the world.

The container is filled with the humming of computers. It's the brain of a drone, known as a cockpit in Air Force parlance. But the pilots in the container aren't flying through the air. They're just sitting at the controls.
Bryant was one of them, and he remembers one incident very clearly when a Predator drone was circling in a figure-eight pattern in the sky above Afghanistan, more than 10,000 kilometers (6,250 miles) away. There was a flat-roofed house made of mud, with a shed used to hold goats in the crosshairs, as Bryant recalls. When he received the order to fire, he pressed a button with his left hand and marked the roof with a laser. The pilot sitting next to him pressed the trigger on a joystick, causing the drone to launch a Hellfire missile. There were 16 seconds left until impact.
"These moments are like in slow motion," he says today. Images taken with an infrared camera attached to the drone appeared on his monitor, transmitted by satellite, with a two-to-five-second time delay.
With seven seconds left to go, there was no one to be seen on the ground. Bryant could still have diverted the missile at that point. Then it was down to three seconds. Bryant felt as if he had to count each individual pixel on the monitor. Suddenly a child walked around the corner, he says.
Second zero was the moment in which Bryant's digital world collided with the real one in a village between Baghlan and Mazar-e-Sharif.

Bryant saw a flash on the screen: the explosion. Parts of the building collapsed. The child had disappeared. Bryant had a sick feeling in his stomach.

"Did we just kill a kid?" he asked the man sitting next to him.
"Yeah, I guess that was a kid," the pilot replied.
"Was that a kid?" they wrote into a chat window on the monitor.

Then, someone they didn't know answered, someone sitting in a military command center somewhere in the world who had observed their attack.

"No. That was a dog," the person wrote.

They reviewed the scene on video. A dog on two legs?

masih terdengar apa yang disampaikan oleh saudara yang memandu tunjuk ziarah kami ke Baitul Maqdis Disember lepas ... dengan jelas beliau mengingatkan kami Ayat berikut ...
 

A214
Adakah patut kamu menyangka bahawa kamu akan masuk syurga, padahal belum sampai kepada kamu (ujian dan cubaan) seperti yang telah berlaku kepada orang-orang yang terdahulu daripada kamu? Mereka telah ditimpa kepapaan (kemusnahan hartabenda) dan serangan penyakit, serta digoncangkan (oleh ancaman bahaya musuh), sehingga berkatalah Rasul dan orang-orang yang beriman yang ada bersamanya: Bilakah (datangnya) pertolongan Allah?" Ketahuilah sesungguhnya pertolongan Allah itu dekat (asalkan kamu bersabar dan berpegang teguh kepada agama Allah).
(Al-Baqarah 2:214)

begitu pedomannya ... maka mana mungkin mereka gentar ...

a fairy tale and a nightmare ... ?


no ...
 rather a world of incongruence ...

yet ... 
one validates the other  ... 

for how can one celebrate sweet dreams ... not knowing the nightmares ...

~

a tale of two worlds ...

colours of dream ... blue, white and green ... of soulful mountains and jazzy streams 



colours of pain ... grey, black and red ... of painful screams and earth torn asunder



eid is for all except them?


Eid Mudarak Dear Guests ... BarakALLAHu feekum ... بارك الله فيكم
