Extrajudicial killing claims 81 lives

in Coastal Kenya-Report
A
total of 81 Kenyans have been
killed as a result of extrajudicial
killings and disappearances in
the coastal parts of Kenya, Mombasa based human rights group Haki
Africa has said in a report. According
to the lobby group the numbers of
those killed by police bullets in counter terrorism operations are higher
but cannot be documented for various reasons.
Most of the killings took place between 2012 and 2016 with the major
victims being youth from the Muslim
community who were perceived by
police to be terrorism suspects or
sympathisers of terrorism organisations. Religious leaders such as
Imams and Sheikhs and preachers have also been listed as having
borne the brunt of police brutality.
Speaking in Nairobi during the launch
of the report on Wednesday, Haki
Africa Executive director Hussein
Khalid deplored the cases of extrajudicial killings which have become
a common occurrence in the coastal
Kenya where families continue to be
decimated by police excesses.
We receive 5-7 cases of extrajudicial killings and disappearances every single day, from families whose kin
have been either shot dead in front

of their eyes or picked by security agencies.

Most of the time we dont know what to tell
these families, he said.
Hussein said the killings and violations are
counterproductive to the so-called war on
terror adding that the state must do away
with iron fist tactics that have led to collec-

tive punishment and instead promote justice

and human rights.
He said failure to offer redress to victims and
families of police killings makes them susceptible to joining extremist groups who purport
to offer them solace for perceived state excesses.

NEP leaders concerned with decline in education standards

A section of North Eastern leaders have raised their concerns with
the state of affairs in the education sector in the region following
the dismal performance by pupils in the 2016 Kenya Certificate of
Primary Education (KCPE).
Northern counties registered poor results compared to the previous
years in the KCPE examinations that were released last week by
education cabinet secretary Fred MatiangI.
Garissa and Mandera were ranked at positions 46 and 47 respectively in the counties performance list with a mean score of 183
points while Wajir was ranked at position 43 with a mean score of
212.
Other Muslim dominated counties such Isiolo, Kilifi, Kwale, Taita
Taveta, Tana River were all ranked at the bottom of the counties
performance list.
Reacting to the results, Lagdera Member of Parliament Mohamed
Shidiye whose Garissa county was the worst performing county said
the results posted by North Eastern and Coast regions are worrisome and should concern all the education stakeholders in the
region.

The education sector of the entire North Eastern is in a serious

crisis and something must be done to improve the situation. We
can no longer sit back and assume things will get better, he
said.
While noting that the shortage of teachers in the region has
negatively impacted on the areas performance, Shidiye said
students also must be held responsible for lack of enthusiasm
in education.
Shidiye blamed students for lacking enthusiasm saying that to
post better grades, students must change their negative attitude
towards education. The resources are available to them so they
have no excuse as to why they performed poorly he added.
His Balambala counterpart Abdikadir Aden said such results are
detrimental for the development and progression of society. The
legislator questioned why successive governments have not
been bothered by the continued dismal performance put up by
North Eastern and coastal schools. Why is it that the successive
governments since independence have remained comfortable
with this situation? he posed.

NEP counties lose 3 billion after census revision

The three northern counties of Mandera,
Wajir and Garissa have lost a total of three
billions shillings in their budgetary allocations after the national government revised
the disputed 2009 census figures for the
three counties, according to Mandera senator Billow Kerrow.
Kerrow said revenue allocation for the
counties will be significantly reduced since
population parameter accounts for 45% of
the total revenue allocated to counties.
The revised censures figures by Kenya
Bureau of Statistics (KBS) were last week
published and tabled in the National Assembly by the Treasury in the Budget Policy Statement for 2017/18 financial year.

Extra judicial killings

The report accused the authorities of failing to respond to calls to conduct investigations into the killings and the government was challenged to speak out on the
existence of a counter terrorism policy that
sanctions killing of suspects.
Out of the 81 cases documented in the report titled What do we tell the families?,
22 deaths were as a result of excessive
use of force by police, 4 deaths in police
custody, 31 cases of alleged extrajudicial
execution and 24 cases of enforced disappearances.
"The common thread is that all victims are
Muslims, all fall into the category of being
perceived by authorities to be actual or
potential terror suspects- a label increasingly nebulous and ill-defined given that
every killing and disappearance has been
carried out outside of any known legal
framework," states the 44-page report with
extensive details on what happened to the
victims.
The chairman of the Independent Policing
Oversight Authority (IPOA) Macharia Njeru
said radicalization and terrorism threats
cannot be addressed by disregarding the
rule of law. He condemned the National
Police Services (NPS) for condoning police brutality among its ranks adding that
most of the ongoing police reforms have
not be reflected in the force.
We have a problem with the National Police Service who are non-cooperative that
has been our main challenge. For us to address police brutality we need the leadership of National Police Service to be professional, Njeru said.
Njeru said IPOA is investigation close to
300 cases on police brutality of which 52
files have been forwarded to the Director
of Public Prosecution.
The report was presented to the Chair of
IPOA by families of the victims of extrajudicial killings and disappearances.
Among those who presented the report included Saida Suleiman, the wife of Salim
Hemed who went missing in the hands of
security agencies in 2014 during the infa-

North, Turkana South and Turkana Central
were then the 8 districts that had their census results disputed by the national government which in 2012 argued that their
figures were inflated in the 2009 population count.
Mandera, Wajir and Garissa counties
have lost a total of Kshs 3 billion after
Treasury used revised population figures
released by Kenya Bureau of Statistics
(KBS) following the Court decision in May
this year said Kerrow.
In a rather unclear ruling, the Court of Appeal in May this year ruled that the disputed results would still stand but further
directed government agencies including

mous raid on Masjid Musa.

Saida told of how the disappearance of her
husband has left her and her three children
in agony where she is constantly forced to
lie to her children on the whereabouts of
their father.
The last born wonders why we dont even
go to visit his father in hospital if it is true
he is under medication. He is now quickly
growing, how will I explain that all along I
didnt know of his whereabouts? she said.
Political Secretary in the British Embassy
Alexander Shepperd, said the contents of
the report are extremely concerning and
the allegations on police violations should
be investigated by the relevant government bodies such as IPOA and National
Police Service, the office of the DPP and
the police Inspector General.
Shepperd emphasized on the importance
of working with communities to build trust
between security agencies and communities.
In its recommendations, Haki Africa urged
the state to immediately initiate investigations into killings and disappearances of
terrorism victims.
The rights group also called on Kenyas
counterterrorism partners to demand accountability and condition their support on
promotion and respect for human rights.
Haki Africa further added that it supports
the implementation of counter violent extremism strategy by the National Counter
terrorism Centre (NCTC) that is human
rights based and community centred approach.
Human rights agencies which include the
state rights watchdog Kenya National
Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR),
Independent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU),
Amnesty International and Human Rights
Watch have all previously released documentary reports accusing state security
organs of involvement in the extra judicial
killings and enforced killings of people suspected to be with terrorist links.

the revised figures to be published and
gazetted.
In the latest revised figures Mandera population stands at 619,000 people up from
1.026 million while Wajir county population was revised from 662,000 to 399,000
and from 623,000 to 376,000 for Garissa
county.
The governors of the affected counties
were to lodge an appeal at the Supreme
Court but the case is yet to be filed six
months after the ruling owing failure to
meet the lawyers 15 million shillings legal
fees.

Aden urged the government to change
the desperate situation by putting in place
measures that improve the standards of
education in the region and enable students compete favourably with those from
the rest of the country.
Coastal based NGO Haki Africa accused
the county education officials for aiding the
poor performance by pupils in the two regions. Haki Africa executive director Hussein Khalid said since education is now a
devolved function, the county education
officials must be put to task for the poor
performance.

Rabi Ul-Awwal 10,1438/December 9, 2016

Meet the Prophet Muhammad

"I began to look at him and at the moon,

he was wearing a red mantle, and he
appeared to be more beautiful than the
moon to me." (Al-Tirmidhi)
This is how Jabir ibn Samura described
the Last of the Prophets, the Chief of the
Pious, the Prince of the Believers, the
Chosen One of the Most Merciful Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah.
He had a pleasant face that was round,
white, and fair. His hair fell to his ear
lobes. His beard was thick and black.
When he was pleased, his face would
light up. His laugh was no more than
smiling. His eyes were blackish, and his
eyelashes were long. His long eyebrows
were curved. When the eyes of Abdullah ibn Salam, the chief rabbi of Medina,
fell on his face, he declared that such a
noble face could not be the face of a liar!
He was of medium height, neither tall nor
short. He walked inclining forward. He
wore tanned leather sandals. His pants
would reach to the middle of his shin or
sometimes just above his ankles.
On his back, towards the left shoulder
was the Seal of Prophethood. It was
the size of a pigeons egg with spots like
moles on it. His palms were described to
be softer than the brocade of silk.
He was recognized by his fragrance when
he approached from a distance. Drops
of his perspiration were described to be
like pearls. His companions collected his
sweat to mix with their perfumes which
made them even more fragrant!
Islamic doctrine holds if someone has
been blessed with the vision of the
Prophet in a dream as described, then
indeed they have seen him.
He would keep silent for long periods of
time and was the most dignified when silent.
When he spoke, he uttered nothing but
the truth in a voice pleasing to the ears.
He did not speak rapidly as many people do today; rather he spoke in a clear
speech so that those who sat with him
could remember it. His speech was
described to be such that anyone who
wished to count his words could have
done so easily. His companions described him to be neither vulgar nor indecent. He neither cursed people, nor
abused them. He merely reprimanded
by saying:
"What is the matter with such and such
people" (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
The most hateful conduct to him was lying. Sometimes he used to repeat himself twice or even thrice to enable the listeners to understand him well. He would
give short sermons. While delivering the
sermons his eyes would become red, his
voice would rise, and his emotions become visible as if he were warning of an
imminent assault from an enemy.
He led a simple life without any extravagance or lavishness. He put the worldly
life behind his back and turned away from

it. He considered it to be a prison, not

Paradise! Had he wished, he could have
had anything he desired, for the keys of
its treasures were presented to him, but
he refused to accept them. He did not
exchange his share of the life to come
with the worldly life. He knew that it is
a corridor, not a permanent residence.
He understood fully well that it is a transit station, not a leisure park. He took it
for its real worth - a summer cloud that
would soon disperse.
Yet God says He enriched him from poverty: "Did He not find you poor and enrich
you?" (Quran 93:8)
Aisha, his wife, said: "A month would
pass while the family of Muhammad
would not light fire in their homes. They
subsisted on two things - dates and water. Some residents of Madina who were
his neighbors would send milk from their
sheep, which he would drink and then
give to his family." (Saheeh Al-Bukhari,
Saheeh Muslim)
She said the family of Muhammad never
ate wheat bread to their satisfaction for
three consecutive days from the time
of his arrival at Medina until he passed
away, about 10 years!
With all this, he would stand up in the
middle of the night to offer his gratitude
to his Lord in prayer. He would pray for
so long that his feet would swell! When
his wives would ask why he worshipped
God so much, his only response would
be: "Shall I not be a thankful servant of
God?" (Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Saheeh Muslim)
A companion Abdullah ibn Masud, says
that once, when Muhammad, may the
mercy and blessings of God be upon
him, awoke from sleep, the marks of
the mat made out of date palm leaves
on which he used to sleep were etched
on his body. Abdullah complained: "My
father and mother be ransomed for you!
Why did you not let us prepare something
(softer) for you from which you could protect yourself?"
He replied: "I have nothing to do with this
world. I am in this world like a rider who
stops under the shade of the tree for a
short time and, after taking rest, he resumes his journey again, leaving the tree
behind." (Al-Tirmidhi)
Various conquerors in the annals of history are known for spilling rivers of blood
and erecting pyramids of skulls. Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of
God be upon him, is known for his forgiveness. He never took revenge from
anyone who wronged him to the point
that he never struck anybody with his
hand, neither a woman nor a servant, unless he was fighting in battle. His forgiveness could be seen on the day he entered Makkah as a conqueror after eight
years of exile.
He forgave those who persecuted him,
and forced him and his family in exile for
three years in rugged mountains, who

had accused him of being a lunatic, a poet,

or one possessed. He pardoned Abu Sufyan,
one of the people who plotted to persecute him
day and night, along with his wife, Hind, who
mutilated the dead body of the Prophets Muslim uncle and ate the raw liver after ordering
Wahshi, a fierce slave known for his fighting
skills, to kill him, which later led them to accept
Islam. Who else could be on such an exalted
standard of character but the noblest and most
truthful Messenger of God?
Wahshi, who used to live in Makkah though the
crime was so great, gathered his courage and
came to the Prophet of Mercy and announced
his Islam, and Muhammad forgave him.
His forgiveness even extended to Habbar ibn
Aswad. When Zaynab, the Prophets daughter,
was migrating from Makkkah to Madina, the
Quraysh tried to stop her, Habbar was one of
them. He made the Prophets pregnant daughter fall from her camel. As a result, she lost
her baby. Running away from the guilt of his
crime, Habbar fled to Persia, but God turned
his heart towards the Prophet. So he came to
the Prophets court, acknowledged his guilt,
bore the testimony of faith, and was forgiven
by the Prophet!
Muhammad performed physical miracles with
Gods permission. He split the moon into two
halves by merely pointing his finger at it. In a
mystical journey known as Miraaj, he traveled
in one night from Makkah to Jerusalem on a
heavenly mount, al-Buraq, led all the Prophets in prayer, and then ascended beyond the
seven heavens to meet his Lord. He cured the
sick and the blind; demons would leave the
possessed by his command, water flowed from
his fingers, and his food would glorify God.
Yet he was the most humble of men. He sat
on the ground, ate on the ground, and slept
on the ground. A companion narrated that if
a stranger were to enter a gathering where he
was present, he would not be able to differentiate the Prophet from his companions due
to his humbleness. Anas, his servant, swore
that in his nine years of service, the noble
Prophet never chastised him or blamed him
for anything. Those around him described Muhammad to be so humble that even a little girl
could hold his hand and take him wherever she

Rabi Ul-Awwal 10,1438/December 9, 2016

The end to hitting women: Islamic perspective on domestic violence

Imam Abdullah Hassan

Perhaps one of the most misunderstood and misconstrued verses
in the Qur'n by Muslims and non-Muslims alike is verse 4:34, the
so-called 'chastisement verse'. Those who claim that the verse
allows husbands to hit their wives argue that the verse suggests
a three step solution in the event of a family dispute where illconduct has been committed on part of the wife. The verse instructs first that the husband may exhort his wife and appeal to
her reason (wa'). If the problem continues, the husband may then
express his displeasure by sleeping in a separate bed. If the wife
persists in the deliberate mistreatment of her husband, expression
of contempt, and disregards her marital obligations, the husband,
they argue, as a third step, may resort to arb as a means to 'save
the marriage'.
The verse prescribes these three conflict resolution measures in
the case of a dispute between husband and wife. The most contentious segment of the verse is the imperative wahribhunna
(hit them). The word, coming from the trilateral root -r-b, in this
verse has commonly appeared in modern English translations of
the Qur'n as hit or beat lightly. The addition of lightly reflects
a dependence on traditional commentary (tafsr) of the verse. Other translators have instead used words such as tap and pat to
represent a physical type of admonishment that is not at the level
of hitting or beating. All of these translations, I would argue, do not
take into account the context of the verse vis a vis the passage following it. Others have posited seemingly far-fetched translations,
wherein, they argue; arb implies sexual intercourse, or the temporary separation of husband and wife. Although the Prophet did
separate from his wives when a dispute arose, I argue that this is
not the primary purport of the verse.
Insofar as a translation must maintain a 'literal' expressive framework, the most adequate one-word translation of the word araba
would be to percuss or, to strike'' or tap lightly as a doctor would
examine a patient.
Understanding the Qur'anic Paradigm:
Under no circumstances is such abuse against women, in its various manifestations, encouraged or allowed in Islam. There are
many examples in Qur'n and adth that describe the sort of loving, respectful, and kind behaviour that husbands and wives ought
to exhibit to one another.
The Qur'n eloquently describes the reciprocal marital relationship stating they (your wives) are your garment and you are
a garment for them[Qur'n, 2:187] In the Qur'nic paradigm,
marriage is represented as a means of tranquillity, protection, encouragement, peace, kindness, comfort, justice, mercy, and love
(2:187 & 229-237; 4:19 & 25; 9:71; 30:21). It indicates that marriage is a sharing between two halves of society and that its objectives, besides perpetuating human life, are emotional well-being
and spiritual harmony. In fact, an entire chapter exclusively entitled Women describes guidelines of behavior, a code of ethics
and conflict resolution in all aspects (e.g., care, inheritance, marriage, divorce, conflict resolution, etc.) that relate to women.
Moreover, several verses specifically enjoin kindness to women
in contexts of marriage and inheritance where they may have the
upper hand (2:229-237, 4:19, 4:25), or in the context of the marital
home where there ought to be a spirit of love and kindness (30:21;
9:71). In other verses, Allah calls men and women protecting
friends of one another. Still other verses express Allah's disapproval of the oppression or ill treatment of women.
Understanding the Prophetic Example:
The Prophet exemplified a model of a marital relationship based
on care, mercy, kindness, mutual consultation and justice. This is
well-documented in the books of adth. The Prophet said, The
believers who show the most perfect faith are those who have the
best behaviours, and the best of you are those who are best to
their wives.[ Tirmidh]
In reference to the relationship between husband and wife, The
Prophet said: A believer should bear no malice to his wife, if he
dislikes one of her habits, he [ought to remember that he] likes
another of them.[ a Muslim]
It is well-established that Prophet never hit his wives, although they

argued with him and held different opinions from him. He strongly
reprimanded men who hit their wives and later had intimate relations with them [as though nothing had transpired].[ a Muslim]
When asked about a husband's responsibility toward a wife, the
Prophet said Give her food when you take food, clothe when you
clothe yourself, do not revile her face, and do not beat her.[ Ab
Dawd]
In his farewell pilgrimage sermon, the Prophet further asserted the
importance of the kind treatment of women, equating the violation
of women's marital rights to a breach of Allah's covenant. Additionally, he discouraged women from marrying men who are known for
their harshness, as evidenced in the story of Fatimah bint Qays
narrated in Muslim: She said: When my period of 'iddah (3 month
waiting period after the death or divorce of a husband) was over, I
mentioned to him that Mu'awiya b. Ab Sufyn and Ab Jahm had
sent proposal of marriage to me, whereupon Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) said: 'As for Ab Jahm, he does not put
down his staff from his shoulder; and as for Mu'awiya, he is a poor
man having no property; marry Usma b. Zayd.' I objected to him,
but he again said: 'Marry Usma'; so I married him. Allah blessed
me therein and I was envied (by others).[ a Muslim
Aisha, the wife of the Prophet also narrates that, ''Allah's Messenger never beat anyone with his hand, neither a woman nor a servant, but only, in the case when he had been fighting in the cause
of Allah (in battle) [a Muslim]
In the following sections, I present an Islamic response to various
aspects or types of domestic abuse, one which takes into account
the higher objectives of Islamic law (maqid).
Physical Abuse:
Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad was sent by Allah as
a mercy to the worlds. He never raised his hand against another
human being. The Prophet's wife ''isha reported that he never

How to make the best of your school holidays

Holidays are the time we all wait for, but
when they finally come, we often feel lost.
We either want to do so many things or we
do not want to do anything at all. So time
goes by and before we know it, the school
holidays are over, leaving us with many
regrets of what we could have done. Here
are some tips on how you can organise
your holidays to make them more fulfilling,
creative and fun.
1. Plan Your Holidays
Planning your holidays will help you to be
prepared for the activities you intend to do.
First, make a list of the things you want to
do and then, organise them into weekly activities. Make sure you do not organise too
many tiring activities within a short period
of time. Keeping it to one or two activities
per week should be manageable. Every
morning, note what you have to do during
the day. Remember to organise your activities around salah time. This way, you can
pray on time and still be able to fit in your
other activities for the day.
2. Organise Activities with the Family
Holidays are the time to maximise family
time. It is a good time for organising games
and outings.
Local activities
You can play games or do other activities
that will interest everybody and that everybody can participate in. You can also learn

new things with your family. Look for common interests and learn together with your
family. You can use this opportunity to try
to learn about your family and even your
extended family.
For example, involve the elders by asking
them about your ancestry and involve your
younger siblings by asking them to help
you make a family tree. You can also connect with members of the family whom you
have never met.
Other simpler ways to strengthen ties between generations would be to learn family traditions from your elders. You can, for
example, learn family recipes from your
parents and grandparents.
3. Helping with the Household Chores
Holidays do not apply to household chores.
On the contrary, there might be more. You
can help your mother with the chores
around the house. She will love having
your help. But do not let the chores ruin
your holidays. Instead, turn them into fun
activities in which the whole family can take
part. Include your siblings in daily cooking
and cleaning, allowing them to see that
even work can be fun when everybody
helps. This would speed up the work, reduce tiredness and even allow you some
quality family time.
4. Do not Abandon Good Habits
During the holidays, there is a general

tendency to be less disciplined and to succumb to bad habits. This can have a negative effect on your holidays. If you want to
enjoy your holidays, you need to be fit. Eating well and sleeping well are very important. Avoid going to bed too late. Instead,
sleep right after Isha salah so you can
wake up early the next morning and maximise the day. That way, you can carry out
your activities well and without tiredness.
Another common mistake is that we spend
too much time in front of the television or
on the computer. Allocate some time for
these activities and make sure you stick to
your plan.
5. Reconnect with Allah
Holidays offer us more time to reconnect
with our deen and increase good deeds,
bringing us closer to Allah . Give more time
to your deen at both a community and at an
individual level. Help out more at your local masjid and other Islamic organisations.
You can plan at least one Islamic activity
with your family, such as cooking food for
the poor. When you are on your own, make
more duas, memorise new surahs and
recite more of the Quran. Make yourself
stronger before the holidays are over. This
will also help you to resist the temptation of
participating in haram activities, which are
so prevalent during holidays.

Practising solitude can be very beneficial. You will have time to
think about things that pertain to only you. If there are any changes you want to make to your life and self, holidays are the time to
start them. Holidays could be the time to get your routine back on
track. For example, those who have hectic routines can benefit by
signing up for time management or stress management courses.
You could also look for a part-time job to make some pocket money. An internship or apprenticeship could earn you some work experience as you will gain a better understanding of the industry
you wish to pursue.
Think about some things you would like to do that would bring
some personal satisfaction to you. Be creative, develop your abilities, discover new skills and explore them. Take up a new hobby
or restart an old one. Continuing it after the holidays will make
your routine less boring and add more colour to your life.

Even as the bombs rain on Syria, hope for a better future

Usama Bin Javaid

There was nothing new in it - the Syrian
government was again sending intimidating text messages, there were loudspeaker
announcements and leaflets were being
dropped in the days building up to it. But
there was something more sinister in this
latest chapter of psychological warfare.
The boast of an all-out assault felt more
confident, more chilling for many in besieged Aleppo. Living under siege, they
were already surviving on crumbs and
facing a reduced number of attacks in the
three weeks building up to the offensive.
Some of the leaflets read: "This is your
last hope ... Save yourselves. If you do
not leave these areas urgently, you will be
annihilated." They ended by saying: "You
know that everyone has given up on you.
They left you alone to face your doom and
nobody will give you any help".
A relentless campaign of air raids, followed
by helicopters dropping crude barrel bombs
just above the range of the rebels most
powerful guns. And when they stopped, a
barrage of artillery shells followed. Social
media was flooded with crying fathers,
scared children, helpless mothers - the
sanitised version of the horrible reality of
dozens of bodies being collected in pieces.
The strategy was simple: Use the blunt
end of brute force at the most vulnerable
choke points. It's effective, especially when
the objective is territorial gain regardless of
civilian casualties.
From the start, the videos shared by activists and the White Helmets made it clear
that it was a bloodbath where nothing and
no one was safe.
The global silence was felt by the people
after videos of children being pulled from
the rubble, the lifeless infants being carried
to shallow graves by only the closest members of the family (because funerals attract
air strikes as well), were shared.
The bombardment wasn't limited to the
frontlines. The next target were those trying to maintain a semblance of life under
siege - medics and rescuers. One after another the hospitals were taken out, ambulance and white helmets centres were hit. A
calculated assault to kill their hope.
United Nations humanitarian chief Stephen
OBrien put it best: "The tactics are as obvious as they are unconscionable. Make life
intolerable; make death likely. Push people
from starvation to despair to surrender.
Push people to leave on green buses."
Yet the most powerful, the most rich and
the most influential could not stop the killing of civilians that we have watched in
slow motion, unfolding in front of us.
The people of Aleppo see us as the audience of a medieval amphitheatre, watching
the blood and gore as spectators - some in
disgust while some cheer on.
And many of them starkly warn that this
silence will come back to haunt us. A Syrian turned to me and asked, "Is it judgment
day yet?" Surely the apocalypse can't be
worse. How do you respond to a father who
lost his home and shop other than to offer a
hollow reassurance?
It's been five years since I started covering the conflict. Talking to activists, rebels,

Page 8

self-declared intellectuals and civilians has

become second nature. But it was the first
time that their everlasting flame of hope
felt as if it were flickering. And then Hanano fell, a neighbourhood which had stood
against the government since 2012.
Some former residents of Aleppo, now far
from the city, couldn't hide their pain.
They shared videos from four years ago of
the chanting children, the marching youth,
who were all punished for opposing their
ruler. Even those fleeing the onslaught
were not spared.
Two days of attacks on a road linking besieged neighbourhoods killed more than 96
people - bodies strewn across the streets
with belongings on their backs. Aleppo was
seen as the heart of the revolution - an alternative capital to Damascus - the place
that constantly fought with the regime, ISIL
and al-Nusra Front simultaneously - the
last remaining beacon of a peaceful revolt
which turned into a bloody battle.

It's easy to talk about the millions displaced, the thousands made into refugees,
the half a million dead. But it's hard to look
into a little girl's eyes who has lost a leg
and a brother and tell her it will be okay.
To meet a brave, smiling five-year-old who
lost her vision to a sniper's bullet. To stare
into the eyes of a man who lost his family and both his legs. To meet doctors and
engineers and students and barbers and
lawyers who live in perpetual limbo of the
shadow of a war which has no end in sight.
But then you meet the bright young men
and women still pursuing their careers, still
swooning over the beauty of their neighbourhoods, still romanticising the idea
of people power, still hopeful for a future
of opportunities to rebuild and start over
again.
Aleppo may have all but fallen but the past
five years of interacting with resilient Syrians has made one reality very clear - their
unwavering refusal to give up. (Al Jazeera)

Domestic violence-An Islamic

perspective
Continued From Page 5
struck any of his wives.[ a Muslim] The
Prophet was also reported to have asked
his companions incredulously and admonishingly: could any of you beat your wife
as he would a slave, and then lie with her in
the evening?''[Bukhari and Muslim]
Emotional Abuse:
The Qur'n emphatically prohibits vilifying
others.[ Qur'n, 49: 11-12] Emotional neglect on the part of the husband could also
be considered a legal shortcoming in fulfilling his responsibilities. This sort of abuse
has been strictly discouraged and prohibited.[ Sahih Bukhr]
Verbal Abuse:
The Prophet forbade the cursing of others
and using obscene language. He likened
cursing to killing.[ Sahih Bukhr]He said
The worst form of usury is the violation
of the personal honour of a Muslim.''[Ab
Dawd]No Muslim should curse or use foul
language against another human being. A
wife is someone to be loved, respected and
honoured, not abused.
Sexual Abuse:
The Prophet encouraged both husband
and wife to fulfil each other's sexual needs.
Both need to consider the emotional and
physical state of each other and neither
should be 'pressured' or 'forced' into having
sexual intercourse. Islam prohibits all forms
of harm. The Prophet (peace be upon him)
said: There should be neither harming nor
reciprocating harm.[ al-Mustadrak Hakim]
The scholars of Islam agree that it is obligatory for husbands to financially support
their wivesregardless of their wives' financial position. Allah describes husbands
as protectors and [financial] maintainers of
their wives.[ Qur'n, 4:34] A husband must
fulfil the financial needs of his wife without
policing his finances in any way that could
be considered degrading or demeaning.
Furthermore, because the wife is considered financially independent, it would be
an abuse of power for the husband to try
to control or spend her income, gifts, or
inheritancewhich are exclusively at her
disposal. The husband cannot demand
that his wife, regardless of her financial position, bear any part of the financial responsibility in the family or the home.
A sincere and holistic reading of the Qur'n
which takes into account the intricacies of
the Arabic language, the Prophet's traditions, and the socio-historical context of
those traditions and revelation of certain
verses in the Qur'n will illustrate clearly
that no form of domestic abuse is sanctioned by Islam, Qur'n, or any of the legal
texts. Any form of violence that results in
the shedding of blood, breaking bones, or
causing wounds is of course valid grounds
for a wife to annul her marriage contract,
and requires the judge to assign an equivalent punishment.

funeral processions. He used to stay at the
back of the caravan to aid the weak and
pray for them.
He would not hesitate to walk with a widow
or a poor person until he had accomplished
for them what they needed. He responded to the invitation of even slaves, eating
nothing more than barley bread with them.
He was the best of men to his wives. Aisha, his wife, described how humble he
was: "He used to remain busy serving and
helping his household, and when the time
for prayer came he would perform ablution

and go for prayer.

He would patch his own sandals and sew
his own garments. He was an ordinary human being, milking his sheep, and doing
his own chores." (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
Indeed he was the best of all people to his
family. His personality was such that people were not driven away from him!
Such was the noble Prophet of God who
we must love more than our own selves
and whom God has described as: "Indeed
in the Messenger of God you have a good
example to follow" (Quran 33:21)

Absence of religious ideals fueling corruptionDida

Lack of religious ideals in the society
has been blamed for the spiraling increase of scandals and corruption
cases which have plagued the Jubilee
government.
The sentiments were made by the former presidential candidate Muhammad Abduba Dida who urged the Jubilee government to prioritise the fight
against corruption pointing out that
the scandals and corruption are being carried out by highly educated and
respected people who are deficient in
religious ideals.
Speaking at Darul Mosque in Narok
last week on Sunday, Abduba called
on religious leaders to take up their
roles and inculcate the religious ideals into their congregations to build an
ideal and upright society, stressing that
religious doctrines make the faithful
disciplined.
He said Kenya has lost the war against
corruption because leaders had neglected religious moral values hence
there was need to work on ensuring
that the future generations are well
engrained in religious ideals so as to
build a society. "When you have no
faith, you can do anything even if people are going to lose their lives, the former presidential candidate said.
Abduba urged the government to step
up efforts in the fight against corruption
in all sectors to build confidence and
trust among Kenyans for social economic progress.
Abduba Dida further demanded the
prosecution of perpetrators, adding
that it would be wrong to allow individuals to a mass wealth fraudulently while
common citizens continue to suffer.

Malaysia PM speaks against genocide of Rohingyas

Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak led a
protest rally on Sunday against what he called
a genocide of Myanmars Muslim Rohingya
minority, as he urged Asian neighbours and
the world to step up the pressure to stop the
violence.
Najib said the rally at a stadium in Kuala Lumpur would send a strong message to Aung
San Suu Kyis government that enough is
enough.
Najib called on the United Nations, the International Criminal Court and the Organisation
of Islamic Cooperation to intervene.
UN please do something. The world cannot
sit by and watch genocide taking place, Najib
said to loud cheers from thousands of Muslims, including Rohingyarefugees. The world
cannot say it is not our problem. It is our problem, he said.

The plight of Rohingya in predominantly

Buddhist Myanmar has galvanised Muslims
in south-east Asia and beyond. Denied citizenship although they have lived in Myanmar for generations, Rohingya have faced
persecution that exploded in intercommunal
violence in Rakhine state in 2012. Hundreds
were killed and more than 100,000 were
forced into squalid camps.
Najib said the persecution of the Rohingya
was an insult on Islam. He said he had
asked Indonesian president Joko Widodo to
stage a similar rally in Jakarta to put pressure on Myanmar, because he said the
charter of the 10-member Association of
South-east Asian Nations (Asean), to which
all three countries belong, ensured the protection of human rights.

Caring for the sick in Hospitals

When someone is ill and cut off from their daily life, a visit or call
or note from someone reminds them they are remembered part
of a community and are cared for. Dealing with Muslim brothers,
sisters, friends or relatives who are very sick or fear they might
be dying can be a challenge. They and their conditions are always
changing and often they do not know what is ahead of them. Most
people want to know what to say to them. Do you try to cheer them
up? Reassure them that things will be all right? Pray with them?
Tell them about your own experiences with something similar?
Ask if they would like to be in touch with someone you know who
had the same illness? Help them to see that they may grow even
stronger through experiencing the illness?
Sheikh Subki Shee of Ummah Foundation has all the answers
to these worrying questions. He takes the example of Omar bin
Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) who never left the sick, ill,
hungry or destitute before they smile. This is the spirit of feelings
for others as we all know the same condition can face anybody.
What is important is that the person who is ill does not lose his or
her dignity. Illness carries with it a whole gamut of feelings: fear,
anger, disappointment, hopelessness, sadness, grief, perhaps
guilt or even shame.
When you are conscious of these issues and appreciate the fact
that Allah swt has destined all these as a test, you will more likely
respond in a sensitive way. If the person who is ill feels alone, they
will likely feel more despondent. Healing the body is linked with
healing the soul and it is the soul that also suffers when people
do not treat them as viable, important parts of the family or community. Someone who can be a loving witness to all of the feelings
a person who is ill has will be greatly appreciated. If you're curious
about details of their situation, ask them if they feel like talking
about it, rather than proceeding with twenty questions. The most
sensitive part is when the sick feel the fact that there is a supreme
being who has control over everything in our lives.
Sheikh Subki Shee as he goes round the hospitals delivering the

good news of Daawah, encouraging the sick and offering supplications for them comes along with a lot of changes in peoples
lives after they leave the wards. Those who recover have had
a lesson and reflect upon the mercy of Allah swt who saw them
through the turbulent times. Those who die, get a chance to repent
and mark their last moments with redemption from the past sins.
They depart with hope that Allah swt has forgiven them. For nonMuslims Sheikhs visits gives them an opportunity of understanding what Islam values and emphasizes. In summary the visits are
a daawah program that targets all. In the corridors of sickness,
the nurses, doctors and ward assistants are also privileged to see
Islam in practice. Kenyatta National, Nairobi, Mbagathi, Care Hospital, Gertrude Children and Ladnan hospitals are the main medical facilities that the Sheikh frequents every week. The Program
has given route to other humanitarian activities like providing kaffans and according a decent burial for our departed brothers and
sisters.
Ummah Foundation has been leading in the forefront in promoting and enhancing these social welfare activities from the time of
its inception. Our role is to help people make the connection between themselves and the creator, and help develop their spiritual
life. In a hospital setting Sheikh Subki meets with people who are
involved in the experience of illness, whether it be patients, their
families, staff, or volunteers, or the community. The focus therefore is on relationships and counselling and the service is offered
to anyone, regardless of who they are, or how they view their life.
With your support we can achieve a lot.
