There was a 2 mins silent at 12pm in the reception area at my workplace. In my opinion, the desk sufficed but I waited to see what the others around me would do (after all, I have to show I'm integrating!). Luckily, most of them stayed put so I followed suit. But, I was busy reading a fatwaa (on an important issue) so was, in effect, silent!

Hopefully, you didn't just limit the prayers to those that were killed last year, and you spared part of the 2 mins (at the very least) for the oppressed Muslims around the world who have no-one to fall silent for them.

I simply used the comparison as a reminder to us all that there are also other victims of (state) terrorism, and the like, who are being killed this very minute and that not to think about them would indeed be a great injustice.

Why compare, Killing is killing and those that die everyday in Palestine and Iraq are remembered i hope everyday by us but there is no reason to replace one with the other.

My prayers aint limited and the 2 mins silence is a way of reminding those of what happened and the state that the world is in now. I normally may not at 12pm stopped and rememberd those that died and thanked allah SWT so this cant be ridiculous.

And lets not forget the Victims parents and families im sure they dont find this ridiculous so please be careful what you say!

Actually in a way it is rather ridiculous, the way nationalism has taken over and the only events that deserve a special moment are those that happened to people of that country. Human suffering shouldnt be remembered and shown respect (or what ever the silence signifies) simply because those involved belong to the same nation. At the end of the day we are all human.
 
yea true man and if muslims can do a 2 mins silence for the non muslims why cant they do the same 4 us 2>!

Sis what is stopping you from doing the 2 min silence for those Muslims! No one is restricting you.

7/7 happened in this country and so its obvious that the 2 mins silence would take place for them BUT as a Muslim what is stopping you from remembering the Palestine and Iraq!

And these 2 mins can be a time to think and pray for them Muslims too!
 
:sl:

Just wondering, would it be considered imitating the kuffar to go along with the silence thing? :?:rollseyes

But that is what i am saying. Britian at 12pm stood still and us British Muslims did also but who said we should only remember those involved in 7/7 or those involved in War the 2 min silence is a time to reflect on all things,

And you are right this should take place everyday But what i am saying is that at 12pm today i remembered Allah SWT thanked God and prayed for peace where usually i may not have! So can the 2 mins be ridiculous if more people done this too

I do and i never thought i would but in that 2 min silence i was really overcome maybe because i never really really thought about the victims and so on. The 2 min silence made me soo sad as i knew that these people died and more are dying like this everyday!

Like i said Sis NO ONE is stopping us Muslims having 2 mins silence everyday! But dont blame the Gov or Britain for that its ourselves caught up in daily life, and today was a proof of that
 
i've thought about those victims that have died a lot previously and made dua for the, the silence is not necessary, i think the main reason for the silence is to build up the emotions of most of the citizens.

I say keep them in your dua's, have your own silence inshaAllah.

then mashAllah, i gess it brings attention to the people and builds up there emotion, and who knows, these dua's could results in some peoples peace for the akhirah inshaAllah (some muslims i mean).

Now lets make dua for those costantly dying in palestine/iraq/afghan etc, i always try to remember them at tahajjud as thats when prayers are most likely to be answered inshaAllah do the same.

Inshallah Bro make dua for all dead and alive it seems the bad times are ahead!
 
the thing which emotionally got me most is when i heard all those children at the gaza strip died, i thnk the numbers rose above 1000. subhanAllah :(

But there all destined for jannah Alhamdullilah so no need to stress.
