Gaza Freedom Flotilla

Gaza Freedom Flotilla – Update 25 May 2010 Ismail Patel , Antalya, Turkey As with all other carefully crafted plans, we are having to revise our schedule. The boats setting sail from Greece have been delayed and since we all need to travel in a group we need to extend our patience for a further 24 hours before setting sail from Antalya. Meanwhile the Israelis have announced several measures to counter the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. Apparently half of the Israeli navy has been placed on full alert to confront our peaceful mission to take humanitarian aid to Gaza. They also say spaces have been created in their prisons no doubt an implication to imprison the 700 foreign nationals who make up this contingent. All these threats from a heavily armed naval force against us civilians has simply further strengthened our resolve and we are more eager to set out earlier rather than later. Our spirits could not be higher and the Turkish team here is going out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The greatest concern is the announcement that Israeli ‘citizens’ are preparing to sail with hundreds of boats to confront us. This is of concern since this may provide an excuse for the Israeli navy to intervene under the pretext of aiding its citizens. However one can raise the legitimate question – are those Israeli’s without uniforms really civilians or soldiers disguised in civilian clothing?

You might ask what's the big deal -- bad stuff happens there all the time and it doesn't concern me. In this case, recent events have the potential to create an international crisis in the coming days. Before getting to the possible explosive situation, we first need some background information.

Click here to read more Action Points The Israeli navy has declared that it will prevent the convoy from reaching Gaza at all costs. It has prepared half of its navy to intervene and stop the flotilla and has prepared special ‘prison’ spaces for what it calls ‘hundreds of protestors’, which seems to indicate that it intends to arrest all the peace activists and leaders who will be on the flotilla from 40 countries around the world. Please take action: 1. Contact your local MP NOW and inform them about the Gaza Freedom Flotilla and its aims. Put pressure on them to bring up a question in Parliament about what the British government will do to protect British peace activists on board.

Assalamualaikum wbt..

First of all, I would like to thank all of you who has already been helping us by making continous du’aa, monetary donations, as well as moral support to me,my wife Azila,and our young mujahid Mr Muaz Firdausi bin Khairul Izham. I can only hold my hands up and pray to Allah that He may grant all of you al-Jannah for the things that you have done in making this easier for us.

For those who doesnt know the story yet, my wife gave birth to our first son on the 19^th May 2010. However, it was a premature birth where our baby was delivered 13 weeks before my wife’s expected delivery date. This totally caught us by surprise as from the last check up that we had a week earlier we were told by the doctor that everything up to that point has been fine.

Whilst we felt very thrilled and grateful that Allah has given us our eagerly-awaited young mujahid in the shape of the little Mu’az Firdausi, the timing of it did caught us by surprise as we were actually planning to deliver the baby in Malaysia. In Czech, all pregnant women must have a pregnancy insurance cover which would entitle them to care and treatment in the hospital. However, the insurance was quite expensive and we have decided against taking the insurance as we would not be able to bear the financial side of it,plus we were planning to have our baby delivered in Malaysia anyway.Little did we know that The Almighty has had a different plan.

As with other premature babies,our little Muaz Firdausi would need to be cared for in a special unit with an incubator and everything for about 40 days if everything goes smoothly.Without the insurance, we are going to have to bear all the cost ourselves..and the cost for using the incubator per day is 25000kc which would translate into around EUR1000 per day. So in total we are looking at a figure of EURO 40 000 just to make sure that our little Muaz get every little help he needed to survive this test Allah has given him(and us) since day one of his life.

Therefore, we would really appreciate if any of you who would be willing to contribute financially to lessen our burden here though this centralized appeal account organized by Majlis Syura Muslimun UK who has kindly agreed to act as a donation point for us.Even if you cant help out financially and making du’a is pretty much the only thing u can contribute, we would still be eternally grateful for that as well.So the account details are:

Finally, thank you so much for your time reading this appeal…on behalf of our little family I thank you in advance for each and every little help that you’re giving us, may Allah reward all of you with His Jannah ameen

Mesej dari Dr Syed Jefrizal Syed Jamal, Specialist Registrar Neonatalogist, QMC, Nottingham:

A'kum semua, minta maaf pakai channel nie.

Untuk makluman semua, ada seorang sister kita (4th year medical student) sudah selamat melahirkan seorang anak di Prague. Namun begitu, anak beliau dilahirkan premature 27 minggu.

Di Czech Republic, Malaysians kena bayar kos perubatan. Dianggarkan, kos sehari untuk anak beliau adalah sekitar GBP 900.

Kalau kat UK, babies hanya boleh discharge ke rumah sekitar 34 minggu.

Semoga kita semua dapat contribute sedikit bantuan kewangan kepada saudara kita ini.

Mesej dari Firdaus Rahim (diedit sedikit):

Salam,

Sahabat-sahabat yang dimuliakan,

Alhamdulillah, salah seorang sahabat kita baru sahaja melahirkan seorang anak lelaki yang dinamakan Muaz Firdausi. Namun begitu, anak beliau lahir secara premature (tidak cukup bulan). Beliau, Hazilawaty, merupakan pelajar Malaysia yang merupakan bekas pelajar Kolej Yayasan UEM yang sedang menuntut di dalam jurusan perubatan tahun ke-4 di Republik Czech.

Oleh kerana anaknya lahir tidak cukup bulan, maka kos tambahan yang diperlukan amat tinggi (mencecah 25000Kc@GBP900. 00@EUR1000. 00 per day). Untuk pengetahuan lanjut, bolehlah dibaca secara first hand daripada blog suaminya, saudara Khairul Izham Musa, pelajar Mechanical Engineer tahun ke-4 di University of Nottingham.

Semoga anak ini dapat membesar dengan sihat berkat sumbangan ikhlas anda semua.

Terima kasih kerana sudi membaca dan syukran.

Sajak release stress

Salam alaikum kawan2,

Saja nak tulis sajak seket, luah perasaan tatkala stress exam ni dan pelbagai cabaran2 lain dalam kehidupan.

Bismillahirrahmanirraheem . Dengan Nama Allah Yg Pemurah Yg Pengasih

Hidup dunia ini sungguh sementara,
Walau sementara byk cabaranya,
Godaan syetan sentiasa mengganggu,
Imaan taqwa kena dijaga senantiasa,

Ku rindu,
Ku rindu,

Ingatan kepada mu sudah cukup pengubat diriku,

Ku yakin iA,
Ku yakin iA,

Hidup akhirat mmg kekal abadi,
Baik dan buruk, akan dihitung semuanya,
Hamba setan diheret sekali ke neraka,
Mereka yg berjaya, kebahagiaan haqiqi hadiahnya.

Ku berusaha,
Ku berdoa,

Moga Mu menempatkan daku di tempat yg berjaya.

Ya Rabb, kepada mu kami berserah.

Mayat-mayat terbujur di tepi jalan raya
Orang tua yang uzur, anak-anak tak berdaya

Peria dan wanita, gadis muda remaja
Mereka turut gugur sebagai bunga bangsa

Rakyat Palestin terus diancam oleh insan yang bengis
Berbagai ragam tindakan kejam Yahudi dan Falangis (Phalanges Party of Lebanon i think this means)

Palestin dibuat seperti binatang sembelihan
Dibunuh disakiti tanpa belas kasihan

Mereka tak perduli walau dunia mengecam
begitulah yahudi ganas, buas, bengis, kejam

inikah ciri bangsa yang mengaku beradab
merosak masjid aqsa dengan cara biadap

ingatlah suatu masa, pagi ataupun petang
balasan akan tiba, kutukan pasti datang

kepada manusia, tuhan telah katakan
insan yang aniaya, pasti dapat kutukan

Palestin, Palestin, Palestin
Ro'akallah (رعاك الله) (Rasanya maksudnya: Allah menjaga mu)
