From al-Adab al-Mufrad of Imam al-Bukhari:

372. 'Umar was heard to say, "Anyone who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy. Anyone who does not forgive will not be forgiven. Anyone who does not turn in repentance will not be turned to nor will he be protected or guarded."

Wassalam.

to Zita (Um ibrahim)'s comment:
"Please let me know also if there is a good deed matching that one come from the israilians."

Excuse me, but is that sarcasm?

First of all it's Isrealis and second, your comment negates the purpose and the objective of this post and what that child gave to the world. Your overgeneralization of the Israelis is disgraceful and you should be ashamed. We are here to talk about peace and to seek ways to better understand one another inorder to discuss the possiblilty of resolving this terrible conflict, yet you already have a pre-conceived barrier against the Israelis that would ultimately undermine the whole concept of Peace. Such blasphemy!

Within the Thalmud and the Torah, acts of kindness and good will are heavily emphasized. Many Jews and Israelis contrbute alot of their time and welfare to the needy and poor. Philanthropy and the sense of humanity does not have borders!

Shame upon those who fail to recognize the global yarning for peace!

May we learn from the kindness of the child and from our flaws from the past and begin to resolve our differences. May peace be granted to us soon!

Salaam!

Yong Kwon,

As-salamu 'alaykum,

Well it seems to me that Umm Ibrahim's comments were not "blasphemy" but just simply ignorant...and oh how typical that is these days.

In case you haven't noticed, anti-Semitism, bigotry, double-standards and ignorance are rife amongst our Ummah.

Indeed, we finally manage to scrounge up some good news about Muslims and her conclusion seems to be that nobody amongst the "israilians" [sic] has ever carried out a comparable act of human compassion!

I'll stop here before I go on a long ramble and say what I really think...

assalamu alaikum
I actually agree with umm Ibrahim. I would also like to add that I would rather see those organs given to the hundreds of Palestinian children who are suffering from Israeli bullets instead.

Jewish children are just as inocent as Palestinian children. However, I still think that if your family is hungry, feed them and then start going around feeding other people. Our obligation first and formost lies with the Muslims who are in need. The Jews of Israel have enough money and hospital facilities to secure the health of their population. The Palestinian are no where near the health and hospital global standards.

If it was a political message to the world the father wanted to send, well he failed because this story will never be broadcast on the mainstream media not in a million years.

-Alright, tell me why killing of a cannanite fetus and newborn baby was much more IMPORTANT than killing a grown up disobediant israeli?

why is yhwh silent when moses commits mass genocide and saves virginal girls for rape, but he isn't silent when Moses disobeys him by hitting a rock instead of just talking at it?

Mashallah,

This is showing the true picture of Islam. Unfortunately the Major News Channels of the West are not portraying this image of Islam.
The religion of Peace and Love.
I hope one day all of us together will be able to prove to the World the TRUTH of ISLAM.

May Allah Bless everybody

I was emailed that article.. It was soo heartwarming. I'm working with an NPO that sponsors dialogue between Muslim and Jewish youth and I sent that to the directors of the organization and posted it for the youth to see. SubhanAllah.
