European Muslims faced another hate crime with killing of a headscarved woman by a German man in a court room on on July 1st, German and Egyptian media reported.

A 28-year old German man stabbed Egyptian national Marwa Sherbini 18 times in Dresden courthouse before she gives evidence against court appeal.

Marwa Sherbini, a 32-year-old Egyptian national was suing her attacker after he insulted her for wearing the Islamic headscarf.

Sherbini stood in court to give evidence against court appeal before German man took out a knife and stabbed her 18 times.

Marwa took her 3-year old son Mostapha to play in a Dresden park. A German man, identified only as Axel W, insulted her because of wearing headscarf and called her a "terrorist". She filed a case against him in German courts after the incident.

When she won the case and the court fined him the €780 for having abused her. But German man appealed against the verdict, German media said.

Also, her husband and her son were present in the court room. When the assailant attacked Marwa her husband ran to rescue her. But the assailant stabbed him 3 times. Meanwhile, a German security officer in court shot the husband in the leg too.

The husband Elwy Okaz lapsed into a coma and was taken to hospital suffering from serious injuries to the stomach and liver.

Marwa Sherbini was a star pupil at her Alexandria School, El Nasr Girls' College (EGC), one of the oldest and most prestigious educational establishments for girls in Alexandria. Her personality and academic achievements led to her selection as Head Girl of the school before she joined the Faculty of Pharmacy at Alexandria University, graduating in 2000 with flying colors. After she got married to Elwy Okaz, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute, she moved with him to Germany.

Crime ignored

The killing of the Muslim woman raises many questions regarding inter-racial relationships and co-existence in Europe.

It's been too long since Egyptian bloggers came together under the same opinion. But the new hate crime that took place in Germany against Sherbini, was one good reason for them to unite again, condemning international media for ignoring such incidents against Muslims in the West.

German officials did not acknowleged about bloody event which is taken in front of the 3 year old son's eyes during 24 hours and did not informed Marva's family or Egyptian embassy..

According to father of MArwa who spoked to an Egyptian TV, they learned the killing from a family friend after on a phone conversation after 24 hours.

"My daughter was pregnant in her third month," the heartbroken mother told Egypt's Al-Masri Al-Youm daily on Sunday, July 5.

"I never imagined she would be a victim of terrorism and we would see her pictures in the media."

Also, the media reported that German officials put the son of Sherbinis, Mostafa in an orphanage, rejecting to hand him over Egyptian embassy for send him to family members.

The state-owned Egyptian Gazette reported the hate crime as saying the attacker stabbed Sherbini "shortly before she was to give evidence in an appeal lodged by the man against a conviction for insulting her over wearing the hijab."

"The investigation into this bloody crime is bound to show there are some indications the suspect was hostile toward foreigners – the signs are there," said Saxony police chief Bernd Merbitz told German media.

Adalah diriwayatkan oleh Rasulullah SAW pada suatu hari sedang baginda duduk di dalam masjid Madinah, maka Jibril pun datang membawa firman. Ujarnya,”Ya Rasulullah. Salam Allah Ta’ala pada tuan hamba dan firmannya: Hai kekasihku adapun doa haikal (7 doa ini) dihantarkan pada tuan hamba. Maka barangsiapa tiada percaya akan doa ini, kafirlah ia dan barangsiapa membacanya atau menyimpannya maka Allah SWT melepaskan dia dan ibu bapanya daripada api neraka. Ya Muhammad. Barangsiapa menaruh doa ini di dalam rumahnya, maka tiada boleh masuk jin dan syaitan ke dalam rumahnya itu. Barangsiapa suratkan doa ini dan dipakai diperbuat tangkal(azimat), nescaya lepaslah ia daripada azab sengsara dan wabak, serta duduk dalam aman. Dan barangsiapa menaruh doa ini, sentiasalah ia dihormati orang dan termulialah ia pada orang ramai dan ketika hendak mati pun tiadalah ia merasai azab sakaratulmaut itu. Maka dengan mudah sahaja nyawa itu keluar. Barangsiapa membaca doa ini tiap tiap hari, dan jik...

THE MEANING OF SUCCESS AND FAILURE

by : Muhammad Harun The Arabic word for success, which also recurs in the Generous Qur’an, is ‘falāh’, a word we are all familiar with as we hear it five times a day “…hayya ‘ala_l falāh!” in every adhan. Interestingly enough, the same root fa‐lam‐ha is also used in the Arabic word for farmer – fallāh, the literal meaning of which is something like ‘a person, who is successful by habit or by profession’. Here lies one key to the real meaning of success: The farmer of all professions is perhaps the one, who is least in control over the outcome of his efforts and labor; he tills the soil and throws the seed grains, and then he trusts in God.

Soal Jawab : Ghibah

Soalan Ass. Wr. Wb. Saya heran ustadz, banyak tempat buat lahan amal ghibah sekarang ini. Semua orang suka membicarakan (aib?) orang lain dan sepertinya menikmatinya dan bahkan menghasilkan rezeki plus dosa bagi sebagian orang. Mungkin mereka takut kalau mereka membicarakan diri sendiri, mereka akan terperangkap ke dalam mengamalkan perbuatan yang mengarah kepada penyakit-penyakit hati (pamer kebaikan diri, riya’, sum’ah, ujub, takabur, dan lain sebagainya). Pertanyaan saya, ghibah yang Islamy, yang syar’i, yang diizinkan menurut kacamata syariah, yang diridhoi Alloh SWT, dan bahkan yang semakin mendekatkan diri kita kepada Sang Khalik itu yang bagaimana ya? Afwan kalau pertanyaan ini menggelitik sanubari kita. Jazakalloh khoiron katsiiro, yaa Ustadz. Wass. Wr. Wb. Jawaban Assalamu 'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Tidak ada ghibah yang Islami. Sebagaimana tidak ada zina yang Islami, mabuk yang Islami, mencuri yang Islami atau durhaka yang Islami. Membicarakan aib suadara, teman...
