MPs to vote on Lords amendment which would force the government to admit youngsters from war-torn countries

Opposition MPs hope to inflict an embarrassing defeat on the
government on Monday over its refusal to extend help to unaccompanied
child refugees from Syria and other war-torn countries who are stranded
in Europe.
Charities led by Save the Children are urging MPs on both sides of
the house to back an amendment to the immigration bill tabled by the
Labour peer Alf Dubs and passed by the House of Lords, which would force the government to accept 3,000 unaccompanied children.
Tim Farron, the Liberal Democrat leader, has written to every MP
urging them to support the amendment. He said: “The vote on Monday is a
test of Britain’s humanity. MPs must stand up for the values and
traditions that make Britain great.”
Lord Dubs, who drew up the proposal, was a beneficiary of the
kindertransport, the government-backed effort to accept child refugees
from Germany in the run-up to the second world war.
At least 95,000 unaccompanied child refugees are estimated to have applied for asylum
in Europe last year. The Labour MP Yvette Cooper, who is chair of the
party’s refugee taskforce, has visited the migrant camps in Calais. She
says many of the children at the sites are at risk of human trafficking
and rape.
Europol, the EU’s criminal intelligence agency, estimated in January that 10,000 children had gone missing after arriving in Europe, warning that many had been taken by criminal gangs.
“In 50 years’ time, how will we look back on what we did in the
Syrian refugee crisis?” Cooper said. “All we ask is for the government
to say Britain will do its bit.”
The Home Office made an announcement last week about providing
support for up to 3,000 child refugees from camps within the war-torn
Middle East. But Save the Children and others said it was merely a
re-announcement of aid already promised, and failed to offer any help to
children already trapped in Europe.
Farron said: “The government has tried to muddy the water with a
concession that will not help a single child who is alone and vulnerable
in Europe. The orphaned children I have met need help and hope.”
The government’s statement appears to have convinced some
Conservatives who had expressed concerns about the issue, however,
including backbench MP David Burrowes, who said he would vote with the
government on Monday.
Head of police station where Reuters claimed Italian was taken has filed complaint naming Cairo bureau chief
Giulio Regeni, whose body was found on 4 February.

The Reuters news agency is in the crosshairs of authorities in Egypt
after it published a report last week claiming that Giulio Regeni, the
Italian researcher who was tortured and murdered in Cairo, was detained
by Egyptian police on the night he disappeared. Press freedom
groups have strongly criticised reports that a Cairo-based Reuters
journalist is under scrutiny by police and prosecutors following
publication of the report, which was staunchly denied by Egypt.
Egypt’s president, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, has previously said “lies and
allegations” in the press and on social media about Regeni’s death were
putting the country at risk.
Last Thursday Reuters revealed that six police and intelligence
sources had said the young Italian doctoral student was “detained by
police and then transferred to a compound run by homeland security the
day he vanished”.
Regeni disappeared on 25 January; his corpse was discovered bearing signs of torture on 4 February
on a desert road leading to Cairo. The Egyptian government has
furiously rejected claims that the security services may have been
involved in his death.
On Friday reports surfaced that the head of Azbakiya police station,
where Reuters reported that Regeni was initially taken, had filed a
police report against Reuters, naming the Cairo bureau chief, Michael
Georgy. The report accuses Reuters of publishing “false news aimed at
disturbing public order” and “spreading rumours to harm Egypt’s
reputation”.
The Egyptian interior ministry, which manages the police, said the
Reuters report was “unfounded”. Despite a culture of secrecy surrounding
the inner workings of the Egyptian government, it condemned Reuters’
use of anonymous sources to substantiate its report, and said the
ministry “reserves the right to take legal action against promoters of
these rumours and false news”.
Ahmed Hanafy, the chief public prosecutor of Qasr el-Nil police
station in downtown Cairo, where the complaint was filed, said: “So far,
the prosecution did not charge Reuters with anything. We are just
gathering information about the case according to the claim made by the
officer from Azbakiya.”
He said no one from Reuters had been summoned for questioning. Georgy
could face up to a year in prison and a fine of up to 20,000 Egyptian
pounds (£1,600) if the case goes to court and he is convicted.
David Crundwell, a senior vice-president at Thomson Reuters,
said: “We stand by the story published on 21 April, 2016 regarding the
detention of an Italian student, Giulio Regeni. The story did not state
who is responsible for his death, and is consistent with Reuters’
commitment to accurate and independent journalism.
“We cannot verify whether a complaint has been filed against Reuters
regarding the story, as we have not received notice of any legal
action.”

The
investigation into Reuters and the possibility that the interior
ministry could decide to pursue the case to trial has sent a shudder
through those observing the increasing deterioration of freedom of the
press in Egypt since 2013. Casting a long shadow over the incident is
the recent trial of three journalists from the Qatari-owned broadcaster
al-Jazeera, who were also accused of publishing “false news”.
The trial and retrial of the three journalists from Egypt, Canada and Australia shocked observers in 2014 and 2015. Two defendants, Baher Mohammed and Mohammed Fahmy, were later pardoned by Sisi, and Peter Greste was deported from Egypt.
At least three other journalists were convicted in absentia, including
Britons Dominic Kane and Sue Turton, who have since fought to clear
their names.
HA Hellyer, of the London-based Royal United Services Institute, said
the possibility that the Egyptian government could consider another
high-profile attack on the foreign press was a concern. “They will be
rather cautious about inviting that sort of hassle – but that’s not to
say they can’t find other ways to make things difficult for Reuters to
operate,” he said.
“There are other options: the ministry can launch a case against
Reuters as a company,” he added. Reuters, a London-based news agency, is
owned by the Canadian company Thomson Reuters; Georgy is a US citizen.
“I think that would be something they would not entertain, as it
would cause a huge amount of hassle not just for the ministry of the
interior but for the Egyptian state with three countries that they’re
keen to maintain good relations with,” he said.
British Foreign Office spokespeople declined to comment on the possibility of legal action against Reuters. “We
are very concerned by reports that Mr Regeni had been subjected to
torture,” they said. “We have raised his case with the Egyptian
authorities in both London and Cairo and underlined the need for a full
and transparent investigation. We remain in contact with both the
Italian and Egyptian authorities.”
Sherif Mansour, of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), said:
“These reports and threats are disturbing and come against a backdrop of
increasing intolerance of independent journalism. The Egyptian
authorities should repeal broad laws that make criminal prosecutions for
spreading so-called false news possible.”
In CPJ’s most recent survey of press freedoms around the world, Egypt
was found to be the world’s second largest jailer of journalists, with
23 journalists behind bars.

It's part of a
journalist's job to keep track of awful events. But stories about
rickety boats crammed with migrants capsizing in the Mediterranean occur
with horrible frequency. For one Somali journalist reading the news
that hundreds of people drowned in one such disaster on Monday, it was one story too many.
Abdinur
Mohamed Ahmed decided to do something. He decided to create a campaign
to persuade his fellow Somalis not to give their money to people
traffickers and instead to stay and help rebuild their war torn country.
So Abdinur, who is based in the Somali capital Mogadishu,
started tweeting using the hashtag #DhimashoHaGadan, which literally
translated means "don't buy death."
Abdinur told BBC Trending
"The whole notion of this hashtag was to discourage people from
emigrating to Europe through these perilous journeys." Image copyright@Nabad_SomaliaThe hashtag rapidly became popular in Somalia. Some used it to highlight reasons why young Somali people might want to leave. According to the United Nations around 15% of Somali citizens were living abroad last year. There are many reasons why people would want to go. A horrific drought means that an estimated 40% of the population are thought to be in need of humanitarian assistance.
The UN-backed Somali government remains fragile despite the support of African Union troops. Al-Shabab, an Al-Qaeda affiliate, has been waging an armed insurgency in Somalia for years. It frequently stages attacks in Mogadishu and other cities, and still controls many rural areas in southern Somalia.
Despite the security situation Abdinur has never considered leaving.
"In
the last 12 months I have survived two suicide attacks and I have never
decided to leave for security reasons. Death is everywhere, suicide
attacks happen in Paris, everywhere… There's no reason to leave this
country because of insecurity," he told Trending.

Peace Garden, wants young Somalis to stay and rebuild their country.
Abdinur is worried about the impact large scale
emigration could have on the future of Somalia: "If we leave this
country because of insecurity or unemployment, who will change this
country? Who will make this country a peaceful place to live?"
He
also told Trending that he believes reality of life in Europe does not
match expectations. One of his relatives left for Europe last year and
calls him to tell him how unhappy he is.
I got in touch with
Abdinur's relative on Whatsapp and he told me, "Life in Europe is not as
easy as you might think right now. Language barriers, low paid jobs and
lack of documents are the main hurdles to integration. We feel we've
entered an open air prison. I am a professional nurse and I could have
done so much for my country and my people. But Sweden does not need my
skills. I need to start from scratch."
Abdinur also told BBC Trending he feels there's a false impression created on social media about how good life is in Europe.
"He
posted several pictures which can persuade friends to go there too," he
told BBC Trending. "I told him to take him down, he understands how
dangerous it is."

The war of words over who does Saudi Arabia's housework
By BBC TrendingWhat's popular and why
Image caption
Bangladeshi workers training for life in Saudi Arabia
Disagreements about
who should do housework blew up on Twitter in Saudi Arabia this week,
and offered some insight into popular attitudes in the country.
If
you're a Westerner, you might think this is another story about who
should load the dishwasher, or about men not pulling their weight at
home.
But this was a very different conversation, about where
wealthy Saudi families should source their servants - from abroad, as is
standard, or women from southern parts of the kingdom.
It began
when Haya al-Mani - one of the country's few female politicians - made
an official proposal that women be given the right to drive. It's a well
worn topic, but still a controversial issue in the country, and her
suggestion was fiercely opposed by religious hardliners on Twitter.
One
such opponent - Sa'id Hussein al-Zahrani - was keen to discredit
al-Mani and posted a tweet about an article she had reportedly written
more than 30 years ago about domestic labour.
"Do you know that
Haya al-Mani, who advocates allowing women to drive, also called for
replacing foreign maids with southerners" he tweeted.
In the
article, written sometime in the early 1980s, al-Mani is reported to
have said the nation's wealthy citizens should stop employing foreign
workers to clean their homes, and employ poorer Saudi women from
southern areas of the kingdom. It would make better use of the country's
own resources, she claimed.
The response on Twitter was swift and
vociferous. A hashtag using her name - #HayaAl-ManiSuraCouncilMP - was
used more than 100,000 times in a little over a day.
The general
sentiment was fury, both at the idea that any Saudi women should work as
domestic labourers, and that the politician had singled out women from
the south - a region stereotypically viewed as poorer than the rest of
the country.
"I swear to God, Saudi girls from the north to the
south and from the east to the west will never work as servants. May our
heads remain high up, breathing the air and honouring our daughters,"
wrote one.
A few lone voices were angry at their fellow citizens
for demeaning manual labour, and suggesting that it should be left to
foreign workers: "Working as a servant is not wrong. If it was, why
would you accept it for an Indonesian or a Filipino? Or do you think you
are special?"
But they were few and far between. Most couldn't stomach the idea of Saudi women working as domestic servants.
"The
ladies of the south are much more honourable and greater than you. The
ladies of the south were not born to be maids," read another typical
comment.

In
addition to criticism of the MP, and calls for her to be dismissed from
parliament, many took the opportunity to attack the idea of female
politicians, a relatively new phenomenon in the country.
Women
were allowed to participate in the country's consultative Shura Council
for the first time in 2013, when Saudi Arabia's late King Abdullah
appointed 30 women to the previously all-male body.
"This is the
result of having women in the Shura Council instead of giving them a
salary to stay at home to prepare men for the fields of science and work
and for serving the nation and religion," one user said.
Al-Mani
has responded to the criticism. In an interview with a pro-government
paper she said her words were taken out of context. "It was part of an
old newspaper report published in the 1980s," she said. Reporting by Dina Aboughazala, BBC Monitoring
CAIRO -
When an Egyptian police officer shot and killed a man selling tea on
the outskirts of Cairo this week, onlookers tried to stop paramedics
from taking away his body.
“People didn’t want the
ambulance to go,” said Alaa Metwaly, a graduate student who arrived at
the scene a half hour after the incident. “It was as if the body was the
only evidence they had.”
Moustafa Mohamed Ahmed was selling tea
in Rehab City, an eastern district of New Cairo city, on Tuesday when a
fight broke out between him and low-ranking police officer Zeinhem Abdel
Razzaq, the Interior Ministry said in a statement posted on Facebook.
Razzaq,
who was on patrol, shot and killed Ahmed and wounded two nearby people
who were selling flowers. Soon, a crowd gathered, chanting “Police are
thugs”.
After the shooting, the ministry said warrants were issued
for the arrest of Razzaq and two police officers who accompanied him.
But
at the scene of the shooting, Metwaly said, where onlookers turned over
Razzaq’s empty police car and chanted "police are thugs", there was a
sense that, without Ahmed'sbody, justice would remain elusive. “They kept saying that they knew no one would be held accountable,” she said. One bystander raised an empty bullet casing in the air as someone filmed: "This is the police," he said. "This is Sisi."
Ahmed's
killing comes on the heels of the shooting death of a taxi driver by a
police officer in a fare dispute, and in the midst of allegations of
widespread torture and deaths in custody at the hands of Egyptian
police.
It also follows a wave of recent protests across a wide
segment of the Egyptian public, from lawyers and doctors to students and
writers, all in violation of the country’s law banning demonstrations
without a permit.
The most recent protest, held last Friday, saw
thousands of people outside the Journalists’ Syndicate in downtown Cairo
picketing the government’s decision to hand over two Red Sea islands to
Saudi Arabia.
More than 100 protesters were arrested, security officials told local media. Most have been released, but 25 remain in custody.
But on Thursday night and Friday, ahead of a second protest against the islands scheduled for Monday, police reportedly arrested at least 40 people at downtown Cairo cafes and their homes. The arrests came a day after Shorouk News reported that President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi ordered police to keep protests from happening, an order that Sisi later denied giving.
As events such as these mount, some Egyptians say the country may be on the verge of another mass uprising like that of 2011.
Tarek Hussein - an activist whose brother Mahmoud was arrested in2014
walking home from a protest in a T-shirt saying ‘Nation Without
Torture’ and who was held in pre-trial detention for more than 600 days -
said rights abuses under former President Hosni Mubarak are
“incomparable to what we see now”.
“One learns,” he said, “that
all these things next to each other breed anger, and this anger can lead
to a sort of revolt against the Interior Ministry and, maybe later,
this will build to revolt against the entire regime.”
Khaled Ali, a
former presidential candidate and public figure popular among leftist
activists, wrote on his Facebook page that the “repressive, frenzied
campaign to arrest young people from the streets, cafés, and their
homes, does not express the strength of the system as much as it
expresses how nerve-wracked it is. It's lost its balance and is
terrified of the popular movement against the sale of the islands.” The
now exiled Ayman Nour, another former presidential figure who stood
against Mubarak, wrote on his Twitter page that “Sisi is creating a
climate similar to January 2011.” The
Muslim Brotherhood, the 6 April movement, and the Revolutionary
Socialists all called for people to take to the streets last Friday in
mass protests they coined “the Friday of the Land”. The
MB released a statement on its website saying Sisi was “selling Egypt”
and that it was an “organized crime” intended to “serve the Zionist
entity.” Meanwhile, 6
April released a statement on its Facebook page Friday saying: “The
regime has gone crazy… we’d like to tell you that now we are mobilizing
people for [April] 25th."
Laila
Soueif, a longtime human rights activist, said that without
accountability, the police have turned into “a group of armed gangs”.
“The only difference is that they are also the ruling group,” Soueif said.
Of
the shooting of the tea vendor, she said: “It will happen again. We
have already seen how it is worse every time. It will continue and it
will only get worse because there is no legal accountability."
Any
incident these days, she said, could be the final straw before a major
uprising. “But which incident and when, we can’t know for sure,” she
said.

Harris Wofford wrote an article strongly in favour of same-sex marriage
A former US senator will get remarried this week - to someone of a different sex from his first spouse.
Harris Wofford, 90, wrote an opinion article in the New York Times voicing strong support for same-sex marriage.
He said he felt lucky to live at a time when marriage had been "strengthened" in this way.
Mr
Wofford said his life was "a story of two great loves" - with his wife
Clare, who died of leukaemia in 1996, and with Matthew Charlton, 40.
He
wrote: " I don't categorise myself based on the gender of those I love.
I had a half-century of marriage with a wonderful woman, and now am
lucky for a second time to have found happiness."
In June 2015, the US Supreme Court struck down same-sex marriage bans in individual states, making gay and lesbian marriages legal across the country.
Clare was a strong influence through Mr Wofford's political career. The couple had three children together.
Mr Wofford, a Democrat, represented Pennsylvania in the US Senate between 1991 and 1995.
He
started his political life at the age of 18 by founding the Student
Federalists, an organisation that promoted world federal government.
He went on to become instrumental in the civil rights movement and joined the presidential campaign of John F Kennedy.
Later, he worked with Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
Five years after his wife's death, Mr Wofford met Mr Charlton.
'Based on love'
Mr
Wofford wrote: "Seeking to change something as deeply ingrained in law
and public opinion as the definition of marriage seemed impossible.
"I was wrong, and should not have been so pessimistic.
"I
had seen firsthand - working and walking with the Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. - that when the time was right, major change for civil
rights came to pass in a single creative decade.
"At age 90, I am
lucky to be in an era where the Supreme Court has strengthened what
President Obama calls 'the dignity of marriage' by recognising that
matrimony is not based on anyone's sexual nature, choices or dreams.
"It is based on love."
22 April 2016 – Expressing ‘grave concern’ at the fragility of the
security situation in Somalia, the United Nations Security Council has
called for progress on the constitutional review process in the country,
and for the completion of the Federal State formation process to be
accelerated.
In a press statement
issued following a briefing to the Council earlier this week by the
President of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, and the Special
Representative of the Secretary-General for Somalia, Michael Keating,
the Council underlined that a “peaceful, transparent and inclusive”
electoral process in 2016 will mark a “historic step forward” for all
Somalis, and will be fundamental for the country’s continued progress
towards democracy and stability.
Expressing its full support for the Special Representative and the UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM),
the 15-member body recalled its expectation that there will be no
extension of the electoral process timelines in Somalia, underlining the
importance of good faith cooperation between federal and regional
authorities in the country on these issues.
The Council also commended President Mohamud and the Federal Government
of Somalia for the political progress made in the country in the past
four years, in particular the agreement on a model for the electoral
process planned for August 2016, which it said should be a “stepping
stone” to one-person-one-vote elections in 2020.
In addition, the Council commended the Federal Government’s commitment
to reserve 30 per cent of seats in the Upper and Lower Houses of
Parliament for women, calling on the Parliament to swiftly endorse the
implementation plan decided by the National Leadership Forum as soon as
possible.
Reiterating their “strong condemnation” of attacks and recruitment of
children by the terrorist group Al-Shabaab, the members of the Council
also underlined the importance of the continuation of offensive
operations against Al-Shabaab by the Somali National Army and the
African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), in “a well-coordinated
manner” and in line with the qualitative improvements requested in
Council resolution 2232 (2015), and in full compliance with international humanitarian law and the protection of civilians.
The Council was also briefed by the African Union on the financial,
operational and logistical challenges facing AMISOM. It underscored the
importance of enhancing command and control, and improving coordination
within AMISOM, as well as the importance of ongoing cooperation between
the UN and the African Union.
Urging the swift completion of the National Security Policy and National
Security Architecture, the Council also welcomed the Federal Government
of Somalia’s steps to establish professional, inclusive and accountable
security forces, with sound financial management.
Expressing its full support for this process, the Council encouraged the
Government to intensify efforts, urging Member States to contribute to
the process and reiterating that security sector reform is critical to
enable Somalia to assume control of its own long-term security.
In addition, the Council expressed concern about the fragile
humanitarian situation in Somalia and the humanitarian impact of El
Niño, urging all parties to facilitate “timely, unhindered and safe”
access for humanitarian actors and to find durable solutions for the 1.1
million Somalis who are internally displaced.
An Ethiopian and a Somali say they were on two boats heading to Italy
from Libya when one of the vessels sank. The UN refugee agency says up
to 500 people may have drowned in the tragedy.
Visibly shaken from their ordeal, the two men - 25-year-old Muaz Mahmoud
Aymo and 28-year-old Mowlid Isman - described how they were among 200
people aboard a small boat when smugglers forced them onto a larger
vessel, which already had 300 people on board.
"When we moved to that boat, the big boat fell into the water and my
baby (of) two months and my 21-year-old wife, and all died in the middle
of the ocean," Aymo told reporters at the offices of the Greek charity
Praxis.
"Only 41 made it, we swam to save our lives to the small boat. And I saved two persons," he added.
The two said although they managed to get back on board the smaller
boat, the smuggler refused to wait and help others struggling in the
sea. Harrowing accounts
Reports of a surge in migrants traveling from Libya to Italy
Isman, who said his two sisters and her baby died in the tragedy, said "We saw the dead people with our eyes."
When the small boat's engine broke down, the smuggler was picked up by a third boat and promised to return.
"We were three days in the ocean," the 25-year-old Aymo said, adding that they had nothing to eat or drink on board.
By chance, the survivors found a mobile phone on board with only one
number saved in the memory. Aymo called it, and it was the Italian
police.
The 41 survivors - 37 men, three women and a three-year-old baby - were
picked up on Saturday by a passing cargo ship and transferred to Greece. Stories match
The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR said it had interviewed some of
the survivors, and their testimonies matched those heard by reporters.
Up to 500 people are thought to have drowned.
It remains unclear where the sinking might have taken place and neither
the Italian, Greek, Libyan or Egyptian coastguards have confirmed the
sinking. To date, there are no reports of bodies or debris washing
ashore.
If confirmed, the shipwreck would be one of the deadliest migrant boat sinkings in the Mediterranean.
Migration rights groups have warned that with new restrictions placed on migrants entering Europe from Turkey, the continent
is witnessing a large number of attempts to cross by boat from North Africa to Italy.
Italy's president: Hundreds feared dead in new migrant disaster
Calm seas and warmer weather paved the way for fresh tragedy in the
Mediterranean on Monday. Italy's coast guard said that 108 migrants had
been rescued and confirmed at least eight fatalities. (18.04.2016)

has banned its citizens from traveling to Sudan after hundreds of
Somali migrants drowned in the Mediterranean Sea this week. Sudan is a
popular passageway for undocumented migrants from the nation, which is
in the Horn of Africa, en route to Italy, Bloomberg reported.
“The
department of immigration has confirmed that most of the Somali
citizens who perished in the Mediterranean Sea had gone through Sudan to
reach Europe,” Abdullahi Gafow Mohamud, the head of Somalia’s
Immigration and Naturalization Department, told reporters Tuesday in the
capital of Mogadishu. “No ordinary Somali is allowed to travel to Sudan
effective today except on diplomatic missions.”
The ban comes
after some 200 or more Somalis died Sunday while trying to cross the
Mediterranean Sea illegally to Europe when their boat capsized upon
leaving Egypt’s coast. The Somali government said the boat might have
been carrying as many as 500 people and most of those who perished were
teenagers.
“We have no fixed number, but it is between 200 and 300 Somalis,” Somali Information Minister Mohamed Abdi Hayir told Reuters by telephone Sunday.
More
than 1.2 million African, Arab and Asian migrants have poured into the
European Union since the beginning of last year, according to Reuters.
For Somalis, the perilous journey
takes them through neighboring Ethiopia and into Sudan where they must
traverse the Sahara, the world’s hottest desert. The migrants then cross
into Libya or Egypt in North Africa, from where they set off in rickety
boats packed with people on choppy seas.
Along the way, illegal
migrants are at risk of being kidnapped by armed groups or being
mistreated and abused by smugglers. The boat trip to Italy is expensive,
averaging several thousands of dollars. And if the migrants are caught
and arrested before reaching Europe’s shores, they could be detained for
weeks or months before returning home
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (front) arrives at the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, March 27, 2016.Reuters/Abir Sultan/Pool
Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu called for the establishment of official diplomatic
relations with Indonesia on Monday, as the world’s largest Muslim
country continues to look eastwards to boost diplomatic and economic
ties.
Indonesia, which has a population of approximately 250
million people, making it the most populous Muslim country in the world,
does not yet have formal relations with Israel.
Diplomatic
relations with Israel are treated with caution by many Arab and Muslim
states, such as Egypt, which works with Israel on security issues but
does not publicly talk about its cooperation with the country because of
strong anti-Israel opinion among its population. Upgrade now - Free phone/tablet charger worth over $60The
country shares secretive ties with many Arab and Muslim countries, but
in the public sphere it is rarely talked about. Israeli passport holders
are banned from many Arab states, such as the United Arab Emirates.
Israel only opened its first formal presence in the UAE in 2015.
Israel’s security cooperation with Jordan, which it shares a border with, is also now closer than ever, Israeli officials said earlier this year.
The Israeli government gave 16 retired helicopters to Jordan in July
2015 to help with the country’s battle against ISIS, Reuters reported. Israel is now launching a charm offensive on Asia’s big economic players, including Indonesia.
As
part of Israel’s bid to increase its security and economic prosperity
in the region, Netanyahu has proceeded with a policy of pragmatism,
seeking to boost ties with other Arab and Muslim countries.
“It’s
time for there to be official relations between Indonesia and Israel. We
have many opportunities for bilateral cooperation, especially in the
fields of water technology and high-tech,” he told a visiting delegation
of Indonesian journalists on Monday.
But Netanyahu faces a tough
task. One of the reasons for the lack of public relations thus far
between Israel and Indonesia, similar to Egypt, is that the Indonesian
population has a negative view of Israel. A 2014 BBC poll showed that
some 75 percent of the Indonesian population holds a negative view of
Israel. Another is Israel’s military occupation in the West Bank and
East Jerusalem.
In response to Netanyahu’s calls, Indonesia lawmakers have vowed to oppose any move to formalize ties with Israel. According to The Jakarta Post,
one prominent lawmaker said on Wednesday that Israel's wish to have
formal ties with Indonesia would remain a wish as long as the country’s
military occupation continues.
"We will not forge diplomatic ties
with a country that colonizes another country. That is the mandate of
our constitution," Tantowi Yahya, a lawmaker from Indonesia’s House of
Representatives commission that oversees foreign and security affairs
said on Wednesday.
Despite the opposition of lawmakers, Israeli
Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely told the country’s lawmakers
earlier this month that Israel currently has secret ties with Indonesia
and has a bilateral relation “on a range of issues” behind closed doors.
The
move comes at a time when Israel’s relations with the European Union,
to the west, continue to deteriorate after the bloc imposed new guidelines on the labeling of products
from West Bank settlements, considered illegal by much of the
international community, in November 2015. Netanyahu, despite the
concerns of the EU about Israeli settlements, stated that he believes
there should be no such impediment to relations between Israel and
Jakarta as they have mutual economic and counter-extremism interests.
“It’s
time to change our relationship, because the reasons preventing it are
no longer relevant,” he told the journalists, according to The Times of Israel. He said that Israel and Jakarta are “allies” in the fight against extremism.
Earlier
this year, Indonesia was the target of a coordinated Islamic State
militant group (ISIS) attack in Jakarta. Israelis have faced a six-month
wave of Palestinian violence that has left 29 Israelis dead and more
than 180 Palestinians dead.
In a sign of Netanyahu’s eagerness to
warm towards this Muslim powerhouse, he told the delegation, invited as
guests of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, that he has “quite a few
Facebook friends who are Indonesian.

Phillips, the (now former) Chair of the Equality and Human Rights
Commission, speaks at the British Chamber of Commerce Annual Conference
held at the headquarters of BAFTA on March 18, 2010 in London, England. Oli Scarff/Getty
The former head of Britain’s
Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Trevor Phillips, has
admitted he “got almost everything wrong” regarding immigration in a new
report, claiming Muslims are creating “nations within nations” in the West.
Phillips says followers of Islam hold very different values from the rest of society and many want to lead separate lives.
The
former head of the U.K.’s equalities watchdog also advocates the
monitoring of ethnic minority populations on housing estates to stop
them becoming “ghetto villages.” Subscribe now - Free phone/tablet charger worth over $60He says schools may have to consider a 50 per cent limit on Muslim, or other minority pupils, to encourage social integration.
And
he says disturbing survey findings point to a growing chasm between the
attitudes of many British Muslims and their compatriots.
Phillips’
intervention comes after he was asked to analyse the findings of a
major survey on Muslim attitudes in the U.K., which will form the basis
of Channel 4’s documentary, What British Muslims Really Think, which is due to air on Wednesday night. An ICM poll released to the Times, in Britain, ahead of the broadcast reveals:
• One in five Muslims in Britain never enter a non-Muslim house
• 39 per cent of Muslims, male and female, say a woman should always obey her husband
• 31 per cent of British Muslims support the right of a man to have more than one wife
• 52 per cent of Muslims did not believe that homosexuality should be legal
• 23 per cent of Muslims support the introduction of Sharia law rather than the laws laid down by parliament
The documentary will portray the U.K.’s Muslims as a “nation within a nation” that has its own geography and values.
Phillips
commissioned a report into Britain and Islamophobia in 1997 which,
according to both Phillips himself and academics across the country,
popularised the phrase which has now become synonymous with any
criticism of Islam or Muslims.
“It’s not as though we couldn’t have seen this coming. But we’ve repeatedly failed to spot the warning signs,” he now writes in The Times , in response to new data collected.
“Twenty
years ago… I published the report titled Islamophobia: A Challenge for
Us All, we thought that the real risk of the arrival of new communities
was discrimination against Muslims.
“Our 1996 survey of recent incidents showed that there was plenty of it around. But we got almost everything else wrong.” In an article for the Daily Mail, Phillips warns of a “life-and-death struggle for the soul of British Islam.”
“Britain is in many ways a better place than it’s ever been—more prosperous, more diverse, more liberal.
“But
for some of our fellow citizens, we’re heading in entirely the wrong
direction. So much so that some of them would rather live under a wholly
different system.
“Indeed, a significant minority of Britain’s
three million Muslims consider us a nation of such low morals that they
would rather live more separately from their non-Muslim countrymen,
preferably under sharia law.
“This sobering conclusion comes from the most comprehensive survey of British Muslims ever conducted, commissioned by Channel 4.
“Having been asked to examine its results, I believe it holds a grim message for all of us.
“There
is a life-and-death struggle for the soul of British Islam—and this is
not a battle that the rest of us can afford to sit out. We need to take
sides.”

Financial planners like to compare what they do to doctors, as if managing money is somehow akin to brain surgery.
It's not.
For
years, advisors have hated me for comparing them to plumbers and auto
mechanics, but that's a much better comparison than a doctor. While you
might be able to diagnose your own physical condition, you could not
operate on yourself, no matter how many books and articles you read or
courses you sit through.
But you can learn how to do auto
repairs, fix plumbing, or make home improvements by reading books,
watching television, and taking classes.
You can also learn how to manage your money and buy financial products on your own.
You can even use software products or websites to help with your legal needs, your taxes, and more.
But
this is a case where you need to "go strong or don't go at all." Being
partially competent to help yourself means you are mostly incompetent;
you will not get away without financial help forever, you will just put
it off to a point where your own shortcomings become such a problem that
you can't overlook them anymore. The problem for most people is that,
by the time they reach that point, they have already hurt their finances
and have probably done a lot more damage than could have been done by a
mediocre advisor with complete training.
Just because you can do
these things yourself doesn't mean you should. So if you need someone
to fix your financial plumbing or to put a new engine into your
investment portfolio to improve its get-up-and-go, take control of the
process by finding the right person for the job and by recognizing that
the right person might not be you.
Key Points
If the issues that are pushing you to seek out assistance can't
be fixed quickly by some single action, then you are looking for
solutions that can last as long as your lifetime. If that's the case,
you should be looking for an advisor you can trust for the rest of your
life.
Every job and every task done by every financial advisor
of every stripe can be done on your own, without help. But "go strong or
go get help." Admit that you know what you are doing, or that you
haven't got a clue. The last thing you want is a half-hearted or
half-baked effort, especially from yourself.
The right time to
start your search for an advisor is the minute you are certain you need
help; the right time to hire an advisor is when you are certain he or
she is the best person available to help you.

two weekly podcasts at MarkWatch. He has also been a guest speaker on
several television and radio shows. Copyrighted 2016. Content published with author's permission.
Kim West, who is 51, is in a sexual relationship with her son
Ben Ford, 32. She gave him up for adoption more than 30 years ago. But
the two finally met in 2014 and have been in a romantic relationship
ever since. Not only does the couple want to have a baby together. Ford
says the two have “incredible and mind-blowing” sex.
It was Ford, who lives in Michigan, who first reached out to his mother. He wanted to know more about his birth parents.
Strangely, the two felt attracted to each other and shared a kiss
over a bottle of Champagne at a hotel before having sex. Immediately
afterwards, Ford told his wife that he was leaving her.
About their relationship, West says this:
“This is not incest, it is GSA. We are like peas in a pod and are meant
to be together. I know people will say we’re disgusting, that we should
be able to control our feelings, but when you’re hit by a love so
consuming you are willing to give up everything for it, you have to
fight for it.”
Despite how West and Ford feel about it, incest is illegal in the
state of Michigan. The couple says they will simply move if action is
taken against them.
Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA) is a
seldom-talked about phenomenon that sometimes occurs between family
members. It describes feelings of intense intimacy between two relatives
who have been separated during the critical years of development and
bonding, and then meet for the first time as adults.
The term GSA was coined 30 years ago by American Barbara Gonyo, who wrote book called I’m His Mother, But He’s Not My Son, which recounted her personal story of reuniting with the son she placed for adoption at 16.
المسلمون لا يقومون ولا يهتمون بهذ العمل الجليل ااصلاح ذات البين و اصلاح بين الناس
ان ا عمال الصالحات تعتبر من اعلى الدرجات واعلى مقمات
التى يؤجر به العبد المؤمن اجرا عظيما، ومن هذا الاعمال هو الاصلاح بين الناس،
والعف عن الناس الذين اخطؤا علينا وابتعدوا عنا.
هذا العمل الجليل المهم هو من الاعمال التي يحبها الله
سبحانه و تعالي و لقد امرنا به لكي ير فعنا الى الدرجات العليا ويرحمنا و يكرمنا ويعزنا
من ا جل قيام به, و يجعلك الله تعيش عزيزا بين الناس لا ذليلا كما يظن كثيرا من
الناس.
الاخطاء والخلاف والتخاصم دائما تخلق اجواء مليئة بالخوف
و شكوك والبغضاء والكراهية التى تسبب قطع الرحم وتبعد الناس بعضهم بعض. والحقيقة
الخلاف ليس كما يرى ويعتقد كثيرا من الناس. مثلا ان الشخص الذى اخطاء اذا ترا جع
عن كل ما حدث منه من الاسائة بحق المظلوم, واراد التسامح وانهاء الخلاف, ان بعض
الناس يرون ان هذ الفعل الاصطلاح حتى لو كانت هى الطريقة الوحيدة لازالة ما بينهم
من الخلاف وقوع الصلح, قد تتحول و تكون اهانة و ذ لة له, ا و لها اذا رفض المظلوم
ا ن يصطلح وانهاء الخلاف بينهم, الاسلام يعلمنا غير ذالك ويبعدنا كل البعد عن هذا
العالم المظلمة المليئة بالمخاوف والشكوك والعداوة والبغضاء, لان الله يدعونا الى
الدار السلام و تسامح وان يغفر الله ذنوبنا. يا اخوانى فى الله, اليس السعادة
والفلاح هوان يرحمنا الله و برحمته نهتدى وبارادته نكن من عباده الصالحين.
والمظلوم قد يرى ان هذا الامر العفو و تسامح عن من ظلمه
صعب و مستحيل لان الذى ظلم لا يتكلم الا بالتى تجرح و يكرهه كل عاقل ا ن يسمع, فهو
جاهل لا يعرف اى شىء عن الدين الاسلام. هذا الشخص عنيد فهو لا يرى و لا يحس بانه
ظلم و يستمر بظلم و يتعالى و يقول سوف ترى ماذا سافعل بك, تعرف لماذا؟ لانك مفيش
انت لا شىء, انت غير موجود فى العالم الى انا عائش فيه, انت عائش فى العالم السفلي
واسفل من الحيونات. يا اخواني في الله الم يقل لنا رسولنا و حبيبا محمد صلى الله
عليه وسلم ان الد ين نصيحة.
ولقد اخبرنا الرسول الله عليه وسلم: "مدد الله عبدا
بعفو الا عزا" يعز الله عزا الذين يعفون عن من اخطا عليهم.
وعن ابى هريرة رضى الله عنه , ان النبى صلى الله علبه
وسلم قال: "ما نقصت صدقة من مال, ومازاد الله عبدا بعفوا الا عزا، وما توا ضع
احدا لله الا رفعه الله.
قال الله تعالى:( من عفا واصلح فاجره الى الله انه لا
يحب الظالمين) الشورى 40
فان العفو والصفح عن من ظلمك, تقربك الى الله جلا جلاله
و سوف يفتح الله لك بابامن ابواب الطاعات والعبودية ويغفر الله لك ذنوبك, لماذا؟
من اجل اصلاح ذات البين وصلة الرحم.
وقال تعالى: واليعفوا واليصفحوا الا تحبون ان يغفر الله
لكم والله غفور رحيم (النور 22).
وان تعفوا وتصفحوا وتغفروا فان الله غفور رحيم.
و قد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم: "يا ا يها
الناس افشوا السلام واطعموا الطعام وصلو الارحام وصلو بالليل والناس نيام تدخلوا
الجنة يسلام رواه الترمذى.
وقال النبى صلى الله عليه و سلم: الرحم معلق بالعرش
تقول, من وصلنى وصله الله, ومن قطعني قطعه الله. رواه مسلم.
ان اصلاح بين الناس واصلاح ذات بين عباد عظيمة يحبها
الله سبحانه و تعالى.
قال الرسول الله عليه و سلم: "الا اخبركم بافضل من
درجة الصيام و الصدقة و الصلاة" (النوافل)
فقال ابو درداء: بلى يا رسول, قال: اصلاح ذات البين فان فساد ذات البين هي الحالقه. البخاري
أحباء
الأمس أعداء اليوم
وعن ابن عباس رضي
الله عنهما - في قوله ونبلوكم بالشر
والخير قال : أي نبتليكم بالشر والخير فتنة بالشدة ، والرخاء ، والصحة ، والسقم ،
والغنى ، والفقر ، والحلال ، والحرام ، والطاعة ، والمعصية ، والهدى ، والضلال.. خلق
الله جل وعلا الدنيا لتكون داراً للابتلاء والاختبار، الامر
هو اختيار بين الشروالخير, والطاعة والمعصية والحرام و الحلال, فاذا اخترنا الافضل
او الاحسن و نصبر و نعفوا فلن تكون هناك مكان لشر والبغضاء والعداوة. ان الله مع الصابرين
وهومولي النعم وصارف النقم،
واما اذا لم نحسن الاختيار سوف يتحول الحال الى اسوا واقبح؛ فيزيل المحبة والاخلاق
الحسنة والصفاء الروحى فيحل العداوة والبغضاء ويكره القرابة بعضهم عن بعض فتقع
القطيعة والهجران ويصبح أصدقاء الأمس أعداء اليوم والمستقبل ، وتقع الحالقة التي
لا تحلق الشعر ولكنها تحلق الدين كما اخبر بذلك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم .
أهمية
إصلاح ذات البين
يا مسلمين ها نحن امة خيرخلق الله نعيش فى عصر التى كثرة
فيها المعاصي والفتن و كثيرا منا لا يعرفون شيئا عن الاسلام و كل ما يحبه الله و
يرضيه من اعمال الصالحات التى تقربنا اليه.
قال انس رضى الله عنه, من ا صلح بين اثنين اعطاه الله
بكل كلمة عتق رقبة.
وقال اوزعي:ماخطوة احب الي ا لله عزوجل من خطوة اصلاح
ذات البين, ومن ا صلح بين اثنين كتب الله له براءة من النار.
الا ترى ان المصلح يقوم با صلاح بين المتخا صمين من ا جل
ارضاء الله سبحانه و يامر بالمعروف و ينهى عن المنكر, فهو يسارع من اجل الخير و
يبذل جهدا كبيرا من اجل الاصلاح, هل تعرف لماذا يقوم
المصلح بهذا العمل الطيب الشريف؟ لان قلبه سليم من امراض
القلوب وهو دائما يحب الخيرات ونفسه تتاثر و تشتاق ان تقوم بكل ما يرضى الله و هو
يعلم يقينا ان صلح خير.
الاختلاف وتخاصم بين الناس امر طبيعى
انه شيئ يحصل بين الناس في كل مكان وزمان لا يسلم منه اى
بشر, الخلاف حصل بين الانبياء وقومهم الذين ارسلوا اليهم, وبينهم وبين افراد
عائلتهم وزوجاتهم وبينهم و بين جيرانهم, هذا كل حصل لنبينا
محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم خير خلق الله فكيف سائر البشر,
لا تغضب ولا تحزن ولا يختل عقلك ويحصل خلل فى افكارك فينتهز الشيطان هذه الفرصة و
يزين لنفسك اعمال خبيثة و شريرة لكى تعتدى على من ظلمك, الاخطاء و الخلاف ليس كما
يرى بعض الناس ان المظلوم لوعفا و سامح الذى ظلمه فسوف يكون ضعيفا وذليلا و حقيرا,
فالامر هنا تتحول الى قيل و قال, ومنهم من يقول هذا مستحيل كيف يقدر ان يتسامح مع الشخص الذى ظلمه و اهانه امام
الجميع, هذا ضعيف ميت ليس عنده شعور ولا دم, لانه لايستطيع ان يقف موقف حازم امام
الظالم و يثبت رجولته ولا ينبغي ان يكون كالغمة سائغةسهلة
لا يتعب امره. تحدروا كل الحذرمن حمال الذي لا يحمل عفش الناس بل يحمل كلام الناس من
مكان الي اخر من اجل ان يفسد فى الارض و يقطع الارحام و يزرع النفاق و الحسد
والبغضاء و العداوة التى ليس لها معني فى قلوب الناس.
قال الله تعالى: "ولا يزالوا مختلفين الا من رحم
ربك"
الخلاف حصل بين اهل قباء صحابة رسول الله صلى الله عليه
و سلم, الذين انزل الله فيهم " الذين يحبون ان يتطهروا والله يحب
المتطهرين" هؤلاء قوم حصل بينهم خلاف حتى توا طئوا بعضهم بعض بالحجارة. فذهب
اليهم النبى ليصلح بينهم.
ان اصلاح ذات بينمن افضل
الاعمال التى تقربنا الى الله سبحانه و تعالى, وديننا دائما يحث على ضرورة الاصلاح
بين المتخاصمين.
:قال تعالى فى سورة النساء
(11) (لاخير في كثير من نجواهم الا من امر بصدقه او معروف او اصلاح بين الناس ومن
يفعل ذلك ابتغاء مرضات الله فسوف نوتيه اجرا عظيما)
الاخوة لها أهمية كبيرة جدا لهذا الدين الإسلام الحنيف,الاخوة
والوحدة الاسلامية ليست كاى اخوة التى نجدها فى العالم فقد يسرلنا الله سبحانه و تعلى الامور, حيث انزل
الينا كتابا الذى ليس فيه شك ولا عوج, بل هو نور يخرجنا من الظلمات الى النورمن ظلمات
الجهل الى نور العلم, نجد فى هذا القران الحكيم قونين وهدى وشرع وتبيانا لكل شىء من
الحقوق والواجبات وعبادات التى تقرب الانسان الى كل ما يسعده وتجعله يعيش حياتا
طيبا مباركا بمنتهى البساطة. كل ما ينبغى منا يا مسلمين هو ان نرجع الى الله الذى
لا اله الا هو, وان نفعل كما امرنا الله, الم يامرنا الرحمان ان نقرا هذا القران و
نتدبر اياته, اين نحن اليوم من هذا القران و اياته, الم يقول الله فى محكم كتابه
(طه﴿١﴾مَآ أَنزَلْنَا
عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَىٰٓ﴿٢﴾إِلَّا تَذْكِرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ ﴿٣﴾تَنزِيلًا
مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ ٱلْعُلَى ﴿٤﴾
ينبغى لكل واحد منا ان
يفهم و يعرف حقيقة هذا الدين وحياتنا الدنيا, فمن يسعى بين الناس بالكلام الطيب و بعمل
من اعمال الصالحات تقوم به من اجل الاصلاح بين الناس, فسوف يؤجره الله اجرا عظيما
ولن يطيع الله اجرالمحسنين, واما من احب ان يكون مشغولا بالغيبة ونميمة و ينشر
الفتن والعداوة بين الناس, وخاصتا بين المسلمين فقد ظلم نفسه وسوف يحاسب بقدرما
قام به من الافساد.

نحن نعيش فى عصر كثرة فيها الجامعات
والمفكرون وفيلسوفيون والعلمانيون ومربيون ومتخصصون في شؤن الا صلاح المجتمع.
وعن أنس قال: قال رسول الله
: "انْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمًا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا".
فقال رجلٌ: يا رسول الله،أنصره إذا كان مظلومًا، أفرأيت إذا
كان ظالمًا، كيف أنصره؟ قال تَحْجُزُهُ أَوْ
تَمْنَعُهُ مِنَ الظُّلْـمِ فَإِنَّ
ذَلِكَ نَصْرُهُ
فلن تجد مجتمعًا فى العالم التى لها نظام و قوانين إنسانيًّا
يقوى ويرفع شؤن الفرد والمجتمع و يكون
الناس ككتلة واحدة متماسكة, فيكون كل واحد يُلْزِم بهذا القوانينَ. فيسعى كلَّ فرد
ان حاجة أخيه، وأن ينصره مظلومًا،
ويَرُدَّه عن ظلمه إن كان ظالمًا ؟!قوم بالواجبات و قضاء قال الرسول الله عليه و سلم: "تفتح ابواب
الجنة يوم الاثنينو يوم الخميس فيغفر لكل عبد لا يشرك بالله شيئا, الا رجل بينه و
بين اخيه شحناء, فيقال انظر الا هذين حتى يصظلحا.
فاتقى الله و اصطلح مع من كان بينك و بينه اى نوع من الاختلاف,
فان فعلت هكذا. فقد قال الرسول صلى الله عليه و سلم" ما زاد الله عبدا الا
عزا.
وقد قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم: "لا يحل المسلم ان
يهجر اخاه فوقة ثلاث فيعرض عن هذا و يعرض عن هذا, ثم قال عليه وسلام و خيرهما الذى
يبدا بالسلام.
تامل هذا الكلام الذى يحمل معانى كثيرة و فكركيف تاثرعلينا
وتغيرنا هذا الكلام, هذا ليست مجرد كلام كاى كلام, بل هو كما قال الله سبحانه و
تعالى:
"وما ينطق عن الهوى (3) ان هو الا وحى يوحى النجم . 4
هذا الكلام هو مفتاح القلب يخرج كل ما فيه من
امراض القلوب و يطهره و يد خل السعادة و طمانين في القلب فيكون القلب منيب و سليم
إنه فقط في المجتمع الإسلامي؛ حيث هذه
الدرجة العالية من الأخوة وتَوَحُّد الإحساس، فيعمل كل فرد على تفريج ضوائق أخيه
وحلِّ مشكلاته، ويقف منه موقف العون والمساندة، لا موقف التحاسد والتباغض، ويكون
ملتزمًا بالإيجابية، وعلى هذا تكون المؤاخاة أساسَ وعنوانَ بناء وتماسُكِ المجتمع
الإسلامي
ولكننا جهلا منا لديننا وبعدا عن الحق وعدم ان نبذل جهدا
كبيرا كما ينبغى لكى نفهم هذا الدين فهما الدقيقة.
الم يصل اليكم نبا المؤخاء بين
المهاجرون و الانصار فى بدية الهجرة الى المدينة, ان فى هذه المؤخاه دروس و عبر و
مثل رائع لم تمر مثلها فى تاريخ البشر.
اخى النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم بين سعد
بن الربيع الانصارى و عبد الرحمن بن عوف, فعرض عليه سعد بن الربيع نصف ماله واحدى
زوجاته, فقال عبد الرحمن بن عوف بارك الله فى اهلك و مالك دلنى على السوق.
قال تعالى:
والذين تبوءوا الدار والإيمان من قبلهم يحبون من هاجر إليهم
ولا يجدون في صدورهم حاجة مما أوتوا ويؤثرون على أنفسهم ولو كان بهم خصاصة ومن يوق
شح نفسه فأولئك هم المفلحون.
الا نقدر هذه المؤخاة الفريدة من نوعها التى لا توجد مثلها
فى اى من الحضارات التى مرت في تاريخ الانسان, ان المؤمنون اخوة هذه الا خوة ليس
لها علاقة باى شىء الا بالايمان .
قال الله تعالى: " واذكروا نعمة الله عليكم اذ كنتم
اعداء فالف بين قلوبكم فاصبحتم بنعمته اخوانا" هذا هو الاسلام, فالاسلام نعمة
انعمنا الله بها لكى نكون امة واحدة متحابين و مترا حمين الله هو الى الف بين
قلوبنا هذه الا خوة عاش تجربتها المسلمون الاوائل لانهم كانوا اعداء فالف الله بين
قلوبهم فاصبحوا اخوانا. يا اخوانى فى الله من اين جائتنا هذه العدهوة والكراهية
والحقد والهوية غير الاسلامية التى نفسد بها الارض بعد اصلاحها قطع الارحام منتشرة
بيننا, ومن بيننا من يفعون ما لم يامرنا الله و رسوله
قال الله تعالى: "و لتكن منكم امة يامرون بالمعرمف و
ينهون عن المنكر"
بل نعمل عكس ذاك نامر بالمنكر وننهى عن
المعروف و نسخر من كل من ارا د الصلح و الا صلاح و الاخوة بين المسلمون وهو يسعى
ان لا يكون هناك قطع الرحم بين اقاربه و جيرانه و بين المسلمين. يا
عباد الله اتقوا الله و اصلحوا ذات بينكم, وا بتعدوا عن كل ما ليس فيهاخير ولا
ثواب, وما الحيات الدنيا الى متاع الغرور, لماذا نهجر بعضنا بعض من اجل المال او
قطعة من الارض او من اجل امور د نياوية والكلام الفارغ التى ليس فيها معنى ولا
يهدى الى سراط المستيقيم, كيف ترى احوال الذين هاجروا اخوانهم واقاربهم و احب
الناس اليهم, و ا حينا لو حصل الطلاق, فنجد بعض الاباء يمنعون الابناء ان يكون لهم
صلة وتقارب بينهم و بين الام, او الام تفعل هكذا مع الوالد, ومنهم من يرحل الى
اوطان بعيده حتى يكون الاتصال مستحيلا وحتى لا يتقاربوا و يعرفوا بعضهم
بعض, وكل واحد منهم يتزوج فيكبر الاولاد ويكونوا رجلا والبنات يكبرن و يكونوا نساء,
الا ترون ان حرمان الاب من اولاده او ام من اولادها, هذا لا يجوز فى الاسلام, حتى
غير المسلمين هذا الامر غير مستحب ولا مقبول.وعلى كل تقدير فليس لمن له
الحضانة او قدرة باخذ الا طفال من الأبوين منع الآخر من رؤية الأولاد, ويجتهد في كيفية الانتقام من الطرف الآخر وكأنه د خل في حرب
بعد الطلاق، بدون ا ن يفكروا فى نتيجة هذه التصرفات كيف ستاثر على مستقبل أبنائهم
الذين يقعون ضحايا لحرمان الرؤية او الاتصال بالوالد او الوالده وهذا من باب صلة
الرحم التي أمر الله بها أن توصل، وفي حرمان أحدهما من ذلك ضرر منهي عنه, نحن نقول
اننا مسلمون لكن فى وا قعنا الا جتماعى نحن بعيدون كل ا لبعد عن ديننا.
اذا اتنا المصلح ومن يريد الاصلاح, لبد ان نستقبلهم استقبالا
حسنا و نشرفهم و ندعوا له او لهم و نقول لهم شرفتمونا جزاكم الله خيرا. و يسروا
ولا تعصروا ولا تنفروا سهلوا لهم الا مور و قولوا لمن يريد الصلح و الا صلاح قولا
لينا و شجعوهم قدر استطاعتكم و توكلوا على الله وادعوا الله و قولوا يا الله يسر
لنا انهاء هذا الخلاف واعف عنا, ربنا انن ظلمنا انفسنا فان لم تغفر لنا و ترحمنا
لنكنن من الظالمين. لا بد ان نعرف اننا و قعنا فى فتنة كن ظالما و
مظلوما, وان ا ستمرا رهذا الخلاف لا خير فيها بتاتا, لكن ان لا شك ان فى انها ئها
مغفرة وتقربا الى الله.
المصلح الحقيقى المخلص الذى يسعى ليرضى الله وحده ولا يريد
مالا اوارضاء المخلوق كان غنيا او ملكا, اذا طلب منا, هذا عبد الصالح المصلح ان
نتنازل عن بعض الامور فعلينا ان نتنازل وان نقبل هذا القرار فورا و اعلم ان الله
لا يضيع اجر المحسنين. احسن كما احسن الله اليك وجعلك من المسلمين, فاننا قوم نسارع
فى الخيرات ولا نتباطؤ.
واعلم ايها المسلم و مسلمة ان الدنيا دار الا بتلاء, ان هناك
من يدعى انه مصلح و ليس بمصلح بل يجرى وراء قليل
من الدنانير و مكا سب د نيوية هذا
الشخص قد يكون شيخا, امام المسجد, محامى, قاضى, رجل شرطى او قريب لك او ساحرا كلهم

امره الا كواحدة كلمح بالبصر اذا اراد شيئا ان يقول له كن فيكن, اخوانى فى الله.
تأملوا
معي هذا الحديث الصحيح الذي رواه مسلم في صحيحه من حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله
عنه قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي
بِيَدِهِ لا تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا ، وَلا تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى
تَحَابُّوا ، أَوَلا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ
؟ أَفْشُوا السَّلامَ بَيْنَكُمْ
أما الحديث الصحيح الذي أخرجه الإمام أحمد والإمام البخاري:
((لا يَدْخُلُ
الْجَنَّةَ قَاطِعُ رَحِمٍ ))
[أخرجه البخاري ومسلم عن جبير بن مطعم]
اذا
اسا ؤا اليك افرباؤك و ظلموك ظلما لم يظلم احد من العالمين من قبل, لا تتاثر بما
فعلوا لان الله يرى ويسمع فلا يحزنك بما اصابك من الاذى منهم, اسال نفسك وكن
اجابيا واستعين بالصبر والصلات, اذا كرهت
الصلة التي يبنى عليها فساد و يبعدك عن الله، حاول قدر استطاعتك تصلح مما افسدوا أما إذا زال الفساد فقد اجبنا بالدعوة إلى الله
عز وجل، وقد حققنا من صلة الرحم الغاية التي أرادها الله عز وجل، الامر هو الايمان
بالله و اليوم الاخر.
كونوا دائما متوجهين الى الله على من ظلمكم فهو المستجيب. إذا كانت قدمك تترك أثراً في الأرض فلسانك يترك أثراً في القلب هنيئاً لمن يحرص أن لا يظلم أحداً ولا يغتاب أحداً ولا يجرح أحداً ولايرى نفسه أفضل من أحد فكلنا راحلون اللهم ارزقنا طيب الصحبة وصفاء النفس وحُسن الخاتمه
[
متفق عليه عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِي اللَّهُ عَنْهُ]
إذا تحدث الناس عنك بسوء، لا تحزن قل كما قال الحسن البصري :مرحبا بحسنةٍ لم اعملها.. الذمّ و القدح و التحقير و السب و الشتم و التجريح و الطنطنة و الهترفة، كل ذلك مكتوب في صحيفتك.. تلك صحيفتك اكتب بها ما تشاء..فذلك لا ينقص من المذموم شيئا .. و الحمد لله الذي رزقني حسنات لم أتعب عليها .. سأطلبها يوم الموقف العظيم
