Cease and Deceased

ByFaris

The legal term is normally cease and desist. Autocorrect even suggested that. But I am thinking of the people who have passed away during the genocide. How many people were deceased before the ceasefire was ‘agreed’. At least 60,000. If they’re connected to 8 people each, that’s almost half a million people grieving for their lost ones. That’s discounting the fact that everyone’s house was destroyed by the bombing. If you are subjected to this kind of destruction, how can you not feel anger? How can you simply cease and desist, and go on through your life. That also discounting the subjugation that is going to follow the ‘redevelopment’.

May Allah grant us all patience.

    It is easy to keep doing something when you’re rewarded for it. At least it is easy if the reward is great and instant. But in life, rewards don’t come so easily, especially if it is something that is beneficial in the wrong run. We humans however tend to value instant gratification and if we…

    Muslims in Malaysia go to Friday prayers every week normally wearing a pair of slippers. Occasionally some dishonest person would come with a pair of old slippers, and leave a pair of newer ones.
