Did you do the 2mins Silence for the 7/7 Victims
We just done our 2 mins at work and im kinda overcome with emotion and i feel really sad, but i used that 2 mins to pray for those that passed away and prayed for peace.
I think that those aint should it is a nice way of uniting!
I saw it but didn't do the silence thing
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!Did you do the 2mins Silence for the 7/7 Victims
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 used that 2 mins to pray for those that passed away

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.not that they will benefit in anyway from such a silence ... we dont need some kind of special silence for that

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.format_quote Originally Posted by ------------
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!
NOPE I STILL STAND BY WHAT IS SED! I mean course i feel for the families hu were involved but things like this happen 24 7 in Iraq n Palestine how cum we dont get 2 mins silence for them on MARCH 20 TH when the iraq war started??? DAT WAS THE DAY OF MY 17TH BIRTHDAY ILL NEVER FORGET THAT EVER!!!!format_quote Originally Posted by Sis786

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.format_quote Originally Posted by ------------
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!
Just wondering, would it be considered imitating the kuffar to go along with the silence thing?
sum1 obviously feels very strong bout thisformat_quote Originally Posted by Sis786

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,format_quote Originally Posted by cheese

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!format_quote Originally Posted by ------------sum1 obviously feels very strong bout this

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.
I never and im not gonna lie about that, But today i have!format_quote Originally Posted by Abd'Majidi've thought about those victims that have died a lot previously and made dua for the,
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).format_quote Originally Posted by Sis786
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!format_quote Originally Posted by Abd'MajidNow 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.
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.
