Division of Palestine
Certainly a proposal is running in news for division of Palestine into two states: Muslim of Palestine and Jews. The scribe is unable to understand this (nonsense idea) on the grounds that – during the WW-II, when Adolf Hitler crushed Jews in Germany, no one was ready to provide them shelter. America; France; Cuba and Canada didn’t allow them to enter their countries. At last they wrote on their ships – The Germans destroyed our families and homes, don’t you destroy our hopes, and came to Palestine. So, Muslims of Palestine provided them shelter on humanitarian grounds according to Islamic theory!!
Hitler crushed 60,000+ terrorists Jews and left a few and said historical worlds – I am leaving them so that world-in- future-judge, why I crushed them. Additionally,99.9% of world-population, do not aware about an International Court’s decision of 93 year/s ago, when Muslims and Jews litigated over the issue of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, through International Court (IC). Though, participants consisted of – European arbitrators, impartial judges, lawyers, international historians and archaeologists yet, without Muslim participation.
The IC’s decree regarding ownership of Holy Mosque in Jerusalem was that “Western Wall belongs to Muslims alone and they have right-to-it. Because, it constitutes to an integral part of the area of Noble Sanctuary, which is part of endowment property. Muslims also own ownership of sidewalk located in front of the wall and in front of area known as Al-Magharibi Quarter opposite the wall –due to endowment according to provisions of Islamic law” (!).
Even then, champions of human rights (US, UK & Co.) are backing Israel till today. The UN is sitting idle. Israel is manufacturing and testing arms on Palestinian Muslims and then selling them by titling “tested-arms”. So, one can say Israeli beggars are trying for division of Palestinian’s land into two States on the basis of “atomic terrorism”. Whereas, leadership of Ummah is waiting for Rangoon’s like situation of Bahadur Shah Zafar.

Greatness of humanity
The greatness of humanity lies in our ability to empathize; without it, we’re mere occupants of space, falling lower than animals. In today’s world, the embrace of empathy, compassion, understanding and kindness has become increasingly rare.
Humanity seems to have lost its core essence amidst the pursuit of materialism, blurring the line between being human and being humane.
While everyone experiences one’s own pain, only a few genuinely connect with the pain of others. As a society, we have grown apathetic to the suffering of others, fixating solely on our own struggles which diminish us below the level of animals.
Acknowledging our personal journey toward embracing greater humanity is pivotal for societal development. Instead of endorsing materialism, selfishness, disrespect, indecency and immorality, we should infuse humanity into our everyday interactions to ease the lives of others.
