Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I haven’t been checking the news on line for a while, not even when logging into my yahoo email. It was yesterday that I understood what was going on, when my husband told me that all the shop down our road were forced to close at 7pm by the police… my face: ???
Something was going on, some violence spread all over the city of London, I checked on line and finally understood. In short: ‘angry youth’ breaking ‘everything’, ya Allah! May Allah guide them for real!! And we are not just talking about throwing stones at the police (which is stupid anyway!) but setting shops, houses and cars on fire! I mean, look at this photos:

Last night I had a couple of sweet sisters who sent me a text, barakaAllahu fikunna! Making sure I was staying at home and that my family and I were fine, alhamdulillah! ‘Isha and Taraweeh prayer were cancelled as the riots were just under the masjid by maghrib time! Infact, it took some time for the brothers to get back home after the prayer, the police was blocking everything. I just hope all our brothers and sisters in London are fine and safe inshaAllah! And won’t get involved in this STUPID acts, especially ‘our youth’!!!

May Allah keep you and your boys safe, ameen. Xxx

Assalaamu Alaykum dear Um Al Mujahid, I completely forgot you were in that area of London. It’s so shocking! We were watching it on Jazeera and just couldn’t understand WHY? And why did it take so long for anything to be done? I pray that you and your family stay safe and well.

assalamu alaykum my dear sisters,
alhamdulillah it seems quiter now in Croydon but I can still hear the police ‘running’ here and there subhanaAllah! They might have been looking for those CRIMINALS! Naudhubillah! Haven’t been out yet, but I’ve seen a video recorder by my husband of the building opposite where I live…. Lots of fire!!! Ya Allah!
barakaAllahu fikunna for your comments mashaAllah!
