Teacher’s Day? What about Nakba?
16th of May is synonymous to Teacher’s day
celebration in
A small village in the land of anbiya’, Falestin, Deir Yassin shared a solemn, miserable memory, not a tale to be told but a reminder to all muslims people. On this very small village, a ‘monument’ was erected in remembrance of so-called Holocaust of muslims people, to remind the world not to forget their holocaust.
1948 was the saddest moment in muslims timeline. Falestin,
the land of the prophets, one of the muslim sacred lands fell to the hand of
vicious Zionist regime. 15th of May 1948 is the date the illegal
state of
9th of April, people in the small
PBB and Red Cross could merely watch helplessly the houses of Deir Yassin burnt to the ground. Those who tried to run away were gunned down with machine guns. Imagine how pregnant women stomachs were pierced with butcher’s knife while there were still alive! 52 children were beheaded in front of their mothers! The women were also killed and their bodies were then cut into pieces.
Unsatisfied with those inhumane styles of tortures, the Zionist then gathered all women including teenage girls that were still alive, stripped them of their clothes and parade them to Baitul Maqdis. Indeed, such a humiliation to Muslim world. The women were then bloodily killed with endless round of bullets.
A testimony from a survivor:
“I saw a Zionist soldier, he held my cousin who was 9-month pregnant. He directed his machine gun to my cousin’s neck and before I could even blink, rounds of bullets were purged from the gun. Even before I could turn my head from that vivid agonizing scene, he pulled out his knife and started to pierce my cousin’s stomach and took out the dead baby with his daunting Nazi knife.”
No one knows the final casualty of the Deir Yassin. One of the reports stated that 254 people were killed. PBB report mentioned that only 40 out of 400 villagers managed to flee from the scene.
Enough of the mournful and forlorn scenes described, who are
the mastermind and the architects behind this tragedy? It should be noted that this
well planned massacre could not be a masterpiece or a brainchild of a single person.
The order for the massacre came directly from the top post in

Another Zionist leader,
61 years after black day in Deir Yassin, this tragedy is a starting to series of violence and vicious strategies aimed at the Falestin people. Torture, slaughter and merciless killing are still high and on the rise without getting appropriate attention from international media.
Our time has come to not just be aware of the Falestin issues but to put more efforts to help the Falestin people who are also our relatives of Islam.
Some of us might wonder how we as small nation could give substantial help or any contribution compared to Falestin people who had shed their blood to defend their own land and to hold high Islam dignity.
One of the most practical things that we can do is to
boycott all products contributing to the development of
Do not look at other people, but start with ourselves, ask ourselves, what we had done for the sake of Falestin people? Ask ourselves what we had done for the sake of Muslim people?
We pray that Allah will make our hearts strong and steadfast
to face the challenges laid by our enemy and we pray that Allah make our
brothers’ and sisters’ hearts in Falestin strong to face the vicious cycle day
by day. Ameen.
