yet instead of learning compassion, have now become torturers and persecutors themselves. O Allah! You are Ar-Rahmaan, Ar-Raheem! Have mercy and compassion and pity on the people of Gaza, who have suffered for two generations under the tyranny of a Pharonic apartheid regime. Send upon our brothers and sisters Your peace and blessings, and fortify them with faith and perseverance, and accept their martyrs, and console their grieved ones.

O Allah! You do not place a burden on any soul more than it can bear. We ask for Your forgiveness for our own inability to do more than dua and some meager donations. Do not call us to task for what we cannot do, and forgive us for what we could have done but did not do, for you are Al-Ghafoor, Ar-Ra'oof, At-Tawwaab. Aameen Yaa Arhamar Raahemeen..

GAZA: As we awake after a blissful sleep in peace and security, consider what the night was for our bretheren in Gaza. A resident wrote: The most violent and blood night in my life...We don't know whose turn is coming tonight... My will, forgive me for all my wrongdoings, and pray for me when I leave this life...I forgive everyone. ..

Last night was the worst night by far. Please read and help share this with the world. Words you wouldn't usually read. By Khalid Elmezaini from Gaza. Last night was the worst night by far. Around 1 am the bombing was so intense that we decided to huddle together as a family in the living room away from the windows. Then a huge blast, so powerful it felt like the building was going to collapse.

We hear screaming from the floor above us. We rush to the door, there is a woman carrying her 3 children running downstairs, they hit our apartment she screamed repeatedly. Was this a roof knock? Was her apartment really hit? Myself and 2 more ran upstairs to see, all we can see is smoke in her apartment, the bedrooms where her children sleep have smashed walls, a missile has struck her home.

We couldn't take chances. With the clothes on our backs we all ran downstairs to the ground floor. Do we leave? Where do we go? There is no place to go. And if we make a run for it they will target us, they always target moving groups. We decided that the 23 families should stay on the ground floor near the stairs. The children were crying, so were their mothers, it was chaotic.

Then an even bigger bomb, louder than the first, the whole building shook, rubble flying onto our building, windows and glass smashing everywhere. We took our shahada, we were convinced this is our last night, that we wouldn't make it. The bombing was intense, everywhere, north, south, east, west, it was random, every minute non-stop, we were just waiting our turn, like cattle for slaughter.

4 hours passed, non-stop shelling, then we can hear them coming, by their sound, the F16 fighter jets have arrived. By the time we made that realization, an explosion so powerful dropped us to the ground, rubble and smoke flew in, then quickly another closer one, then a third one a little further. All we could see are huge fire balls in the sky, light almost turning around corners.

Moments later, a funny smell, we ran for any wet cloth, water on shirt and over the face will do. Time has passed, it was quiet for an hour. Was it over? The sun is now up, and we were happy to see it. We knew the zionist don't hit as hard in day light as they do at night, where the cameras can't capture the full scale of the destruction.
