The American occupation of Iraq continued
The USA troops in the cities have been withdrawn to the outside of these cities including Baghdad, however not very far. The occupying troops only pulled few kilometers from the cities centers to rest on well equipped bases in very strategic positions which are all over controlling these cities. In fact the occupiers have strengthened their control and reduced their losses.
It is therefore contrary to the statements of propaganda by Nori Almalki and the other sectarian-based politicians of Iraq that the 30th of June 2009 was the day of the sovereignty of Iraq. It is not the end of the occupation to call it this. On the other hand the Iraqis were happy to see the occupiers have left the streets taking with them their arrogance and destructions however the only way to gain the sovereignty is when the last solider leaving Iraq for ever.
The sectarian-based government of Iraq has done no good for Iraq since the fall of the previous dictator 2003 until now but corruptions every where and in larger than under the previous dictator.
Iraq under Article 7 of the UN charter since 1990
It so surprisingly that Iraq is still under Article 7 of the UN charter since the second Gulf war in 1991.
Let us see first what is charter 7 and why the UN put Iraq under this and what happened as consequences. In summary the UN charter consist 19 chapters and 111 articles. Article 7 consist 13 sections (39 to 51) and it is about countries which threat the world peace and wage wars. After the war in 1990 the UN put Iraq under this article by its resolution 678. According to the UN charter as soon as Iraq was pushed out of Kuwait and accepted defeat it should have been taken out of the article. This was not happened and Iraq continued under the article and under the UN sanction. The regime then failed in 2003 after the war and Iraq started new era and new government yet the country remained under the same charter. In fact the situation is in reverse that is the terrorists come from and supported by the Kuwaitis and Saudis to kill and destroy the Iraqis.
Back to 1990 Iraq was just finished the war with Iran for 8 years. That war was supported and fueled by the USA and the West. During that war Kuwait was supporting Saddam regime despite they know that he is torturing and killing his own people. The support was limitless financially, logistically, politically and by the media. After that war the USA made a big trick for Saddam to push him inside Kuwait so as to do what it have been done. Saddam was fooled and believed the US ambassador in Iraq in 1990 and invaded Kuwait.
The war followed by the barbaric UN sanction and the oil for food scandals killed millions of the Iraqis. Kuwait was most responsible for such killing as well. Now the Kuwaitis are the first and main refusals and objecting the exit of Iraq from the article 7 despite all what happened and despite all what Iraq paid until now. Most of the compensations that Iraq is paying are in fact either false or exaggerated.
The insistence of Kuwait to keep Iraq under article 7 of the UN is a big blow to the efforts to create a normal relation and eventually may lead to another conflict sooner or latter.
The Iraqis must not forget what happened to them from killing, destruction, damages, sanction, occupation, and all other damages as a result of George W Bush war in 1990, the UN sanction, the Kuwaiti false compensation which drained billions of Iraqi monies and many other damages until the war in 2003.
Generation after generation in Iraq should not forget the damages happened to them from the Kuwaiti regime, the Saudi regime, the USA occupations and wars and sanction even after thousands of years. It is not only to remember the tragic consequences of these crimes but generation after generations in Iraq should look to this article and other similar history so as when the time is right and reversed in a way that they can ask for compensation they should do it and get all these crimes compensated for from these countries. The world may not be suitable for such thing now but there will be a day when it will be suitable to do so and the Iraqis should take their rights at the appropriate moment. The day will come when the situation reverse the Kuwaitis have to compensate the Iraqis as well as those who killed the Iraqi children. That day they sees it far and we see it close.
The only solution to reach an agreement and normalize relation is to put the past behind and start new relation and consider the death of the regime as a death for that era. If the Kuwaitis insist to live under that time and asking to keep Iraq under article 7 then it is for Iraq and its new government to seek what is best not for the Kuwaitis but what is the best for the Iraqis.
The Ants according to the Holy Quran
When the Holy Quran was reveled to The Prophet Mohammed (Peace be up on Him and His Family) more than 1,400 years ago the science was not yet advanced. At that time the people had no means to study the living creatures neither to study themselves. One of the most important discoveries of the very recent time is the existence of communications, social life, specialization, dwellings, and many other things about the small creatures such the ants. Not only these but even more specific scientific facts that it was impossible for a man in the desert to know 1,400 years ago.
The Holy Quran says in Surah (Chapter) 27:18-19
(18) Till, when they came (King Solomon and his unique Hosts) to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: ‘o ye ants, go into your dwellings lest Solomon and hosts crush you (under foot) while they do not know.
(19) He (King Solomon) smiled, and laughed at its words, and said: ‘o my lord! Grant me that I should be grateful for your blessing with which you have blessed me and my parents, and that I may work the righteousness that will please you: and admit me, by your grace, to the ranks of your righteous servants.”
Let me first mention something important which is that in Arabic language the verbs are two kinds; one used for male and the other for female. The Holy Quran mentions that the ant who was telling the other ants was (Namlaah) which is the female verb.
From theses verses we clearly see the following facts:
1. The workers who was acting as a guide or guard was a female ant
2. The ants communicate to each other by speech
3. They live in well organised society with specialisation
4. The ants are caring for each other and they use speech alarms against danger
5. They got houses to live and be safe inside
6. They sense very well the danger from distances and got sensitive sensors
7. The humanbeings can isolate and understand their speech if they got the tools
8. The workers in the ants society are females
9. The recent science knows that ants communicate by chemical or mechanical ways but only very recently it concluded that ants in facts talk to each other routinely by audiological voice which
can be recorded and played back.
These facts have been approved scientifically recently and this is one of the miracles of the Holy Quran.
Read the Holy Quran as it is the most positive book which tells you about the past, the present and the future even beyond the Day of Judgment and Allah will guide you to the straight path of Islam.
Islam: Miracles of the Holy Quran
In the Name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
The first word reveled to Prophet Mohammad (Allah's blessing be upon him and his family) by the Angel Gabriel was in Haraa Cave near Makah and it was (READ) in the name of thy Lord. Prophet Mohammad (ABHF) was illiterate man, unable to read or write.
Part of the miracles of the Holy Quran are scientific which was not known to the people at that time and with the most recent advances in specialist knowledge it became obvious that such things were impossible to be man made. One of these examples is about the mountains.
The Holy Quran says:
Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs? (Holy Quran, 78:6-7)
And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you (Quran, 16:15)
Roots!
Peg!
Stabilizers!
These two facts only proven recently that the mountains got roots and that they stabilize the earth to make it suitable for life.
Peg is the most suitable word to describe these facts which only discovered in the 19 Century.
Only in 1960 tectonic plates were discovered and that the mountains act to support and stabilize them.
There are many scientific facts about the miracles of the Holy Quran which is the words of Allah remained in Arabic as it is since the time of Prophet Mohammad. Not only these facts but the Holy Quran is the most positive book in the world which contains facts about the past, the present and the future until the Day of Judgement and even beyond.
Read the Holy Quran and see for your self.
Why not? Read it and may Allah guide you towards His straight path of happiness, merciful, forgiveness, and bestowed on you in this life and the hereafter. It will elivate you from the materialism of this life and its hardship to the supreme power of Allah.
Read the Holy Quran to feel the happiness of God inside yourself. Try it and you will not loss. If Allah guide you to His glory and straight path please pray for me.
What is the purpose of the life?
The existence of the human-being on the earth is very short compared to the life of the universe. In fact the lifelong of the universe is nothing compared to the immediate moment of time which just preceded the beginning of the birth of the universe. That moment is not known at all because we do not have any single evidence of how and what was there. However Islam and the Holy Quran are telling us about it. It is not a single sentence to explain this but it needs a throw understanding of the Quran and its explanation. It is the wards of God (Allah) which was reveled to Prophet Mohammad (Allah Blessing on Him and His Family).
The time scale of this world is limited to its own formation and existence including its own movements and changes. For example the time on the earth means the movements of the earth on its own and around the sun.
In fact we are moving with our Earth, our solar system and the Milky way in a linear direction towards an unknown fate by a huge speed of approximately of 2 millions km per hour. This is a huge speed compared to the movements of the Earth around the Sun that is 108,000 km/hr. The round movement is important to keep the positions of the planets to each other, otherwise wise they will collide, while the linear speed is to prevent collisions between the galaxies. Until now they can see 100 billion galaxies in each one in average there are at least 100 billion star some of them 100 million times the size of our Sun! The spaces between these galaxies make them to appear dots or even none to each other! It is not known yet what is behind the foreseen universe. Possibly there are other universes similar or different from the one that we can visualize by the most sophisticated systems. The Holy Quran mentioned 7 heavens and seven earths. It is not exactly known whether this means there are 7 other planets like our own earth that are suitable for life or even life may exist on them and whether there are 7 other heavens which mean 7 more universes. Allah knows better but there are some people who consider these 7 heavens the layers around the earth which protect us from the radiations and other dangers. There are many verses in the Holy Quran about these.
Allah said in the Holy Quran: 36: 38 – 40
And the sun runs her course for a period determined for her: that is the decree of The Exalted in Might, The All-Knowing. And the Moon, We have measured for him mansions (to traverse) till he returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk.
It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).
And He said: 56: 75 – 78
Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars. And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew. That this is indeed a Qur’an Most Honourable. In Book well-guarded.
Allah said: 27: 86 – 93
See they not that We have made the Night for them to rest in and the Day to give them light? Verily in this are Signs for any people that believe! And the Day that the Trumpet will be sounded - then will be smitten with terror those who are in the heavens, and those who are on earth, except such as Allah will please (to exempt): and all shall come to His (Presence) as beings conscious of their lowliness. Thou seest the mountains and thinkest them firmly fixed: but they shall pass away as the clouds pass away: (such is) the artistry of Allah, who disposes of all things in perfect order: for he is well acquainted with all that ye do. If any do good, good will (accrue) to them there from; and they will be secure from terror that Day. And if any do evil, their faces will be thrown headlong into the Fire: "Do ye receive a reward other than that which ye have earned by your deeds? For me, I have been commanded to serve the Lord of this city, Him Who has sanctified it and to Whom (belong) all things: and I am commanded to be of those who bow in Islam to Allah.s Will. And to rehearse the Qur'an: and if any accept guidance, they do it for the good of their own souls, and if any stray, say: "I am only a Warner". And say: "Praise be to Allah, Who will soon show you His Signs, so that ye shall know them"; and thy Lord is not unmindful of all that ye do.
The perfection in the world and in the physiology and the balance of the nature is scientifically not possible to happen by chance or without aim. There must be great wisdom for this and an aim behind it.
The aim of creation is to worship Allah and to do good deeds towards yourself, your parents, your family, your society and every thing around you. Worship is not only to pray or fast or pay charity though fundamentals but to be for Allah in all aspects of your life because your life is from Him and maintained by Him. The reward is on the Day of Judgment and that is the aim of life.
Islam is the religion of peace, good values, moral issues, and it is the religion of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Aaron, Joseph, Jacob, David, Solomon, Jesus Christ, and you if you want to be with those in Paradise on the Day of Judgment.
Chose Islam for your salvation from Sin and to purify your self and raise it from the unlawful lusts of the body to the sprit of heaven and the enjoyment of body and soul by what are lawful that protect your body, heart, mind and dignity.
Islam brings you happiness in this life and makes you among those who succeed in the Hereafter. Worship Allah your creator and sustainer and you will see the difference He will in your life. There is no time for hesitation because no one knows exactly when he or she is going to die and then will face the consequences. This is a herald and the choice is yours. If you want help ask and we will guide you to the straight path.
