Peace and love to all the human family of the planet earth. As salaam alaykum...I was up late one night watching the boob tube when some newsreel came on about the war in Irag. It gave details of confused inteligence data conflict with the pentagon and the CIA. It revealed Rumsfeld's nazi war camp tactics and inhumane treatment of arrested detainees in Irag for the purpose of gathering information and intel that would reveal a way to shut the war down and bring our troops home. What really touched my humanity was the execution of Sadamm Husayn. He was given to Al Sadr's miltia to be executed. The former dictator of Irag was hanged by the neck until dead. Al Sadr is one of the insurgent factions that was in Fallujah. When they put Brother Husayn on the gallows to hang him he began to recite The Kalimah... La illahha illallah waMuhammad arrausullah (SAWS) which means there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)...These is evidence in Qur'an and hadith that who so dies with this Kalimah on their lips will go to paradise (heaven). Who so utters this on their death Allah will forgive their sins and this soul will go to paradise. Allah knows best all this but that stood in my mind. The executioners were chanting salaams on the Prohet Muhammad (SAWS) and the floor gave way and Sadam Husayn was hung in this world with the Kalimah upon his lips. All the other happenings faded out of my mind even all the players Bush Rice Rumsfeld they faded and the fact that these words were his (Husayn's) last just echoed in my heart. May Allah have Mercy on us all may the sincere and just increase in their goodness and we pray that the human family learn from our mistakes.
