Renewing faith throug gaza of the lesson h

 What skill would you like to learn?




The recent violence and tragedy in Gaza has deeply affected me and has prompted me to recommit myself to my Islamic faith. When I saw the footage of innocent men, women and children being killed and injured, and mosques and homes being destroyed, I was filled with sadness and anger. But I also remember the true peaceful nature of Islam and its call for justice and protection of the oppressed. This tragedy made me realize that I needed to strengthen my relationship with God and live more fully in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Gaza wasn’t the only thing God showed me to choose as my worship. It was also a conversation I had with one of my sisters a few weeks ago. I talked to her about how unhappy I was with her living conditions and how she needed to take steps to improve them. Hours after that conversation, a light went on in my head: “Allah has given you everything you need to choose your worship!” From that day on, I focused more on my prayers, spent more time reading the Quran, and began to arrange things in my life to help me worship Him better. I haven't felt this happy in over 10 years. And worshiping God is like that. In Islam, God teaches us about Himself. He is truly the All-Knowing, the All-Aware. Because of what is happening to the people of Gaza, more and more non-Muslims are reading the Quran and becoming Muslims in record numbers. Many people are finding solace and purpose in following the will of God. There is a verse in the Quran that says: “The heart finds rest in the remembrance of Allah.” This is what happened to me and is happening to people all over the world because Allah allowed what is happening to my brothers and sisters in Gaza to happen. We ask Allah to grant them patience, piety, tranquility and relief. 

Tragedies like the one in Gaza make some people wonder how a just God could allow such terrible things to happen. But know that God is All-Knowing. It is a challenge to the people of Gaza and to all who witness it. God is testing our faith or lack of faith so that we can turn to Him in sincerity. We may not always understand the wisdom behind what is happening, but we must continue to strive to follow the path of righteousness. The events in Gaza have given me a renewed sense of gratitude for the peace and security I have in my life. I remember that I never take God's grace for granted. Everything can be taken away in an instant so I must cherish every moment. When I learned how I trust me more than God, I pray often, make a generous charity and renew the commitment to Islam every day, I became a better Muslim.
The deep tragedy in Gaza brought me back to my faith and brought me back to live a more important spiritual life. From grief and loss to growth and purpose. My heart still aches for the lives lost and the suffering they endured. But I am also full of faith that justice will ultimately prevail for the Palestinian people by God’s divine wisdom. The future is unknown but I have complete faith in God and the guidance He provides for Islam.

Woman wrestling

  The Evolution and Impact of Women's Wrestling Women's wrestling has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past few decades, evolving from a largely marginalized segment of professional wrestling into a prominent and respected aspect of the sport. This metamorphosis reflects broader societal shifts toward gender equality and the breaking down of stereotypes in traditionally male-dominated arenas. The Early Days: Overcoming Stereotypes In the early days of professional wrestling, women were often relegated to the role of valets or managers, their presence serving more as a sideshow than a main attraction. When women did wrestle, their matches were frequently marketed as novelties rather than serious athletic competitions. Pioneers like Mildred Burke and The Fabulous Moolah played critical roles in challenging these stereotypes. Despite facing significant resistance, these women demonstrated that female wrestlers could be both skilled athletes and compelling performers....

 The Lion Diet: Jordan B. Peterson's Carnivore Journey In recent years, t he carnivore diet has gained considerable attention, thanks in part to high-profile advocates such as Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. Known for his work as a clinical psychologist, professor, and public intellectual, Peterson's endorsement of the diet has sparked widespread interest and debate. The Lion Diet, a strict version of the carnivore diet, is a central component of Peterson's personal health journey.  What is the Lion Diet? The Lion Diet, popularized by Peterson's daughter, Mikhaila Peterson, consists exclusively of ruminant meat (primarily beef), salt, and water. This highly restrictive dietary regimen eliminates all other food groups, including vegetables, fruits, grains, and dairy. The diet aims to reduce inflammation, improve autoimmune conditions, and enhance overall well-being.  Jordan Peterson's Health Struggles Jordan Peterson's adoption of the Lion Diet was primarily driven by se...

Y.V. Subba Reddy, former TTD Chairman, advocates for a sharp increase in ticket prices for devotees. What do you think about this proposal?

-
 the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) could have significant implications. On one hand, increasing ticket prices might help manage the large crowds, improve facilities, and maintain the temple's infrastructure. Higher revenue could also support various social and religious initiatives undertaken by TTD. However, such a move may raise concerns, especially for devotees from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Tirupati is a major religious pilgrimage site, and making it less accessible due to higher costs could create a sense of exclusivity, distancing it from its spiritual roots. Balancing the financial sustainability of temple management with the religious and cultural values of inclusivity and accessibility will be key. Ultimately, it depends on how this proposal is implemented—whether there are provisions for subsidized tickets or affordable alternatives for different income groups.
