Perhaps it is not surprise for a refugee to utter words like Protection, Distribution, Care everyday. Why people discuss resettlement issues is a question of utmost importance. Ask yourself this “If you were given an opportunity to live in a developed country, what will be your reaction?” Sorry!   but only a person who has been a refugee for more than twenty years, someone who has lost everything in his home country,   someone who doesn’t have freedom of movement or someone who is in a cage   can feel it. Hey think of it, Dadaab is the largest refugee camp in the world currently but who knows what the residents’ situation is…..

A burglar scaled the wall of Maalik Bin Dinar's house one night and easily managed to get inside. Once inside the house, the thief was disappointed to see nothing worth stealing. Maalik was busy performing prayer. Realizing he was not alone, he quickly ended his prayer and turned around to face the thief. Without showing any signs of shock or scare, Maalik calmly extended greetings of peace and said, "My brother, may Allah forgive you.

Judge: It is Haram (Forbidden). Man: How about water? Judge: It is Halal (Permissible). Man: How about dates and grapes? Judge: They are Halal. Man: Why is it that all these ingredients are Halal, and yet when you combine them, they become Haram?

Judge: The same reasoning applies to what you asked me!! Iyas Ibn Muawiyah Al-Muzani was a tabi'i Qadi (judge) in the 2nd ce...
