Stand beside Palestinian brethren
Through this letter I condemn the continuous attacks made by Israel against the people of Palestine. The air strikes by Israel on December 8th took three innocent lives in Gaza and injured many. The strikes also destroyed many houses. This is simply violation of human rights. But sadly enough, we are not doing anything to help them. Our Prophet(pbuh) said that the entire Muslim community is like one body. If one part of the body is hurt then it hampers the functioning of the whole body. Similarly, if a Muslim is hurt in any part of the world, it hurts the entire community.
So many innocent children are made orphans and so many women are made widows, but we, instead of helping them, sit comfortably in our luxurious sofas and watch them crying on TV. Is this humanity? What is stopping us from helping them? There are many organisations in Bangladesh who worked for the earthquake victims of Japan. But astonishingly, no one is there for our Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine. Those orphans are like our children too, they too crave for toys and chocolates, but there is no one to give them any. What will we answer to Allah on the Judgment Day for not extending our hands towards our brothers and sisters? We should act before it is too late. I hope my letter will stir the true Muslim spirit in us.
