Where Do You Hide?

Laila El-Haddad wrote this in her blog.. "Raising Yousuf and Noor: diary of a Palestinian mother"..

Where do you hide? The terror in Gaza continues.

"You don't know anymore; you don't know who is alive, you feel you are in a trap, you don't know who is a target" said my friend and neighbour in Gaza city, journalist Taghreed El-Khodary, the fear resonated in her voice, over the phone to Aljazeera.

Taghreed lives on the street over from my parent's.

"Where to? Where can I go seek refuge to?" she continued.

"I live next to the parliament which was destroyed; next to the police station, which was destroyed; next to the hospitals, which were bombed; and the Israeli navy is shelling from the sea, the F-16s from the sky, the tanks from the ground...where to?" she repeated again and again.

"First your house shakes, and the windows break, and the fear...the fear. And when you see all these children around you in the hospital. Some can draw and what they drawing is unbelievable. A six-year old boy in my house drew a picture of boy that was alive, and another that was dead. He said the dead boy was his friend, whom the Israelis killed. And the father is unable to protect his child. And the mothers are trying to hide their fear from their kids."

I asked myself:

Where do these Palestinian hide to.. of this terror of war?

Where do we as Muslim hide ourselves from also.. the terror of war.. war of the syaitan against Muslim?

Above all.. how do we as Muslim protect ourselves against syaitan?


What do we do then?

What do I do?
