Martyrdom of the Unborn Child, Mohsin

Two days after Hadhrat Muhammad's (s.a.) death(28th Safar), Hadhrat Umar al-Khattab led a party of armed men to Hadhrat Ali's (a.s.) house. They called for the men of the house to come out and swear allegiance to Hadhrat Abu Bakr, and also threatened to burn the house down. No one came out, so the armed men pushed their way into the house. Hadhrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.), who was pregnant at the time, was standing behind the door. Umar al Khattab pushed Fatima behind the burning door. He broke her ribs and wrist. Later, she miscarried a boy child, who was called Al Mohsin or Mushabbar. Fatima (s.a.) was gravely injured in the attack and died of her injuries some time later. One Can refer to LEsan Al Mizan Written by Ibne Hajar Al Asghalani, Then Mizan Al I'tedaal written by Al Zhahaby. Please also refer to the writings of Al Nazaam and #Al saffadi. The statement seen is "Umar Kicked Fatima until she miscarraiged her Son AL-Mohsin); About this Topic there was a discussion in Al Mustaqila TV as well, lasted for 90mins and the Sunni Ulema had afterwards no further comments to add and defend their claim.
The Shi'a believe that both Abu Bakr and Umar were responsible for killing both, Muhammad's daughter and grandson. For this section please refer to the Book Al Imamiah Val Siyasiyah by Ibn Qutaiba Deinevari, where we clearly see reference to Fatima condemning and Cursing the two.
As Fatima was dying, she asked Imam Ali to bury her in secret; she did not want Abu Bakr and Umar at her funeral.
Some Shi'a believe that Fatima was buried in the Jannat al-Baqi cemetery, in Medina, and that her grave there is now marked.[2] Others believe that she might have been buried in other locations in Medina and that Shi'a should pray at all three locations to be sure of honoring her grave. [3]
Mohsin b. Ali's (a.s.) martyrdom is widely documented by renowned scholars across eras of both the sects as..........read more

We give our condolences to the Imam of the time, hadhrat Hujjat (a.t.f.s.) on the martyrdom of Mohsin, the unborn child of the only daughter of the holy Prophet of Islam, the mercy to the mankind.

Fate of Egyptian Revolution

Efforts of America and Israel is bearing fruits. They are not in a hurry to decide Egypt's fate.
They are busy in facilitating "Orderly Transition" as per their choice.
Angry Arab says: If Obama and Hillary were around for the Titanic disaster, they would have advised that the ship was not sinking: that it merely needed the passengers and captain to engage in meaningful dialogue.
Mubarak will not resign unless a new puppet is negotiated.
Two aspirants are in the midst of the people in Tahrir Square, one al Baradei and another Amr Mousa (Arab League chief).
Let's see who plays Saamri.
Firaun (Pharoah) is on the verge of drowning in the Nile. 
Moses is yet to appear.
Keep you fingers crossed. Let the Egyptian people uncross it.

A Masjid in Kerala being built by a Hindu Businessman

A Qatar-based Hindu businessman is building a Masjid in India’s Kerala state with the aim of promoting communal harmony.
According to CK Menon, the mosque in Kozhikode will be the first to be built in the state by a Hindu in over 1,200 years.
C K Menon said, Qatari daily Gulf Times reports on Monday said: Construction is going on. The Masjid will be ready in two to three months. Over 400 people can offer prayers in that Masjid at a time.
He said: So far the Cheraman Masjid, constructed in the late eighth century by Chera ruler Rama Varma Kulashekhara, is the first and only Masjid  built by any Hindu in Kerala.
Menon, who is chairman and managing director of the Doha-headquartered Behzad Group of Companies, said he had taken approval from Muslim scholars and religious leaders for building the Masjid.
Menon, who was awarded Pravasi Bharatiya Samman in 2006 and Padma Shri in 2009 for social service said: I have already taken letters from Muslim religious leaders and scholars. They are fine with it. God is one and people should respect and work for the promotion of other religions also.
Menon said he plans to build a church in Kerala. He added: Once the mosque is ready, I will start work on the church. We have already identified the land but final decision is not taken yet.
Menon, whose company operates in 13 countries, mainly in the Middle East, emphasized the need to promote the culture of philanthropy in India.
Menon said: Some people are already doing that, but a lot more needs to be done. Businesses are making money because of the common people. Every businessperson must give back to society a certain proportion of their earnings. He added that he spended nearly 3% of his earnings philanthropic activities.
