WHY WE Disagree?

Swami Vivekanantan

15th September, 1893
I will tell you a little story. You have heard the eloquent speaker who has just
finished say, "Let us cease from abusing each other," and he was very sorry
that there should be always so much variance.
But I think I should tell you a story which would illustrate the cause of this
variance. A frog lived in a well. It had lived there for a long time. It was born
there and brought up there, and yet was a little, small frog. Of course the
evolutionists were not there then to tell us whether the frog lost its eyes or not,
but, for our story's sake, we must take it for granted that it had its eyes, and that
it every day cleansed the water of all the worms and bacilli that lived in it with
an energy that would do credit to our modern bacteriologists. In this way it
went on and became a little sleek and fat. Well, one day another frog that lived
in the sea came and fell into the well.
"Where are you from?"
"I am from the sea."
"The sea! How big is that? Is it as big as my well?" and he took a leap from one
side of the well to the other.
"My friend," said the frog of the sea, "how do you compare the sea with your
little well?”
Then the frog took another leap and asked, "Is your sea so big?"
"What nonsense you speak, to compare the sea with your well!"
"Well, then," said the frog of the well, "nothing can be bigger than my well;
there can be nothing bigger than this; this fellow is a liar, so turn him out."
That has been the difficulty all the while.
I am a Hindu. I am sitting in my own little well and thinking that the whole
world is my little well. The Christian sits in his little well and thinks the whole
world is his well. The Mohammedan sits in his little well and thinks that is the
whole world. I have to thank you of America for the great attempt you are
making to break down the barriers of this little world of ours, and hope that, in
the future, the Lord will help you to accomplish your purpose.

Religion of Hindu


To the Hindu, then, the whole world of religions is only a travelling, a coming
up, of different men and women, through various conditions and
circumstances, to the same goal. Every religion is only evolving a God out of
the material man, and the same God is the inspirer of all of them. Why, then,
are there so many contradictions? They are only apparent, says the Hindu. The
contradictions come from the same truth adapting itself to the varying
circumstances of different natures.
It is the same light coming through glasses of different colours. And these little
variations are necessary for purposes of adaptation. But in the heart of
everything the same truth reigns. The Lord has declared to the Hindu in His
incarnation as Krishna, "I am in every religion as the thread through a string of
pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power
raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there." And what has been
the result? I challenge the world to find, throughout the whole system of
Sanskrit philosophy, any such expression as that the Hindu alone will be saved
and not others. Says Vyasa, "We find perfect men even beyond the pale of our
caste and creed." One thing more. How, then, can the Hindu, whose whole
fabric of thought centres in God, believe in Buddhism which is agnostic, or in
Jainism which is atheistic?

Israeli shelling kills dozens at UN school in Gaza
by GazaTalk | Tue, 01/06/2009 - 21:53
The civilian death toll in Gaza increased dramatically today, with reports of more than 40 Palestinians killed after missiles exploded outside a UN school where hundreds of people were sheltering from the continuing Israeli offensive.

Two Israeli tank shells struck the school in Jabaliya refugee camp, spraying shrapnel on people inside and outside the building, according to news agency reports.

The medical director of the hospital in Jabaliya told the Guardian 41 bodies had been brought in so far and more could be on the way. Reuters journalists filmed bodies scattered on the ground amid pools of blood and torn shoes and clothes.

In addition to the dead, several dozen people were wounded, hospital officials said. The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports.



No one can take away from me


My identity,
For it is mine.

Palestinian am I.

I am the river that flows

Through my land.

I am the mountain

Noble and magnificent

Rising up out of chaos and destruction.

I greet the morning sun

That shines down on my fertile valleys

And parches my barren desert.

I am the red poppy and yellow daffodil

That grow upon my bloodstained hills.

I am the battle cry of freedom

That echoes through my corridors

And every fiber of my being.

Palestinian am I.

I am the proud owner of

Orange orchards and lemon blossoms

And honey bees, wild and free.

I am the David child wielding a single stone

Against the Israeli Goliath.

I am not afraid,

For truth is with me and God is on my side.

If I die,

A choir of angels will honor me

And later, my parents will grasp my outstretched hand

And join me in Heaven.

I am the tears of

Mothers weeping for their dead sons.

I am the footsteps of ancient prophets

Who foretold of doom and destruction

To those who torture and oppress me.

My brethren are the doves, hummingbirds and seagulls

That fly unhindered above my sea.

I am Palestinian,

Therefore, I am.

No one can take my identity

Away from me,

Not tanks or guns or bombs

Meant to desecrate me and kill me.

My country lives in me.

I am the cry of liberty

No matter what they take from me,

They can

’t take away my identity
Or my dignity.

Palestinian am I.

Hope for Gaza: Prayers for Peace & Mercy

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful


Assalamu Alaikum waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh


We are all aware of the suffering our brothers and sisters in Palestine have endured over the last 60 years. The situation has now escalated to crisis point, and over 400 have been killed, not to mention the thousands who have been injured both physically and mentally with the unjust torture they have witnessed. We've conducted rally's, wrote to the organisations that are in positions of power, and signed endless petitions….Unfortunately, our efforts demanding justice have been ignored.


As Muslims we are aware that only Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) can help us in times of need, when we have been ignored by organisations that can make changes, when our efforts are fruitless, what do we do? We turn to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala!!)


This is a plea to all Muslims out there, to unite, to stand together and pray for our brothers and sisters in Palestine. We cannot disregard the power of dua, and in times like this, when we feel we have little or no control, we can turn to The One who has All Control and Power.


We have decided to call for the following campaign, to coincide with the current month of Muharram that we are in and the day of Ashura. This campaign will require two days of your time and for all who can participate, here are the requirements:

To fast for the 9th and 10th of Muharram

To stand in Qiyam ul Layl (Night Prayer) on the night of the 9th and 10th of Muharram

If you cannot do the full two days, then please do what you can, even if it's just an hour of 'Ibadah. We must remember that our fasting and praying (as with all forms of 'Ibadah) are done for the pleasure of Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) and for Him alone. However, the virtues of the dua of a fasting person, and the dua of one who has forsaken their sleep have been highlighted in the following hadith:

The Messenger of Allah (sallahu alayhi wa sallam) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler. [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih]


Abu Hurairah (radiuallahu anhu) narrated that Allah's Messenger (sallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: 'In the last third of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer) (Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) descends to the lower-most heaven and says; "Who is calling Me, so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?"' [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi]


We sincerely ask for the Ummah to do what they can, there are many of us, and together we CAN make a difference, we can make a CHANGE. Let's show others how we conduct ourselves in hard times, how we show patience and perseverance, and most importantly, how we unite in times of hardship.


The Messenger of Allah (sallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Believers are like a structure, parts of which support one another. The believers, in regard to mutual love, affection, fellow-feeling is that of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever." [Sahih al-Bukhari & Muslim]


Please circulate this email to your friends, family, to local Masjids, College/Universities, and Community Centre's etc... Let's make this a collective effort.


Insha'Allah we are successful in our efforts. May Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) help all the Muslims who are suffering around the world, may He listen to our sincere duas and forgive us of our sins. Ameen.
