Current Events

RG,

Why don't you come with me so you can fight for democracy there as well?

Do you realize how ridiculous you are? Do you even apply the same logic to see if it fits your pathetic situation as well?

look at dirty Harry (or is she Dirty Harriet??) "no fear"

 Talking tough here! And are you going to "pull the trigger" all the way from your keyboard, from your hiding place in kafer West? You dumb phook little cyber bassiji, do you realise how ridiculous you are each time you open your big mouth?

Put your money where your mouth is,  go to baloochistan, with your Bassiji bodey guards and catch a few of these joondoolah guys yourself. Otherwise shut the hell up and keep playing with your barby dolls you cowardly mozdoor! :)

Talking"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

IRI=NAZIs

If the Sasani Empire would have defeated these cockroach eaters 1400 years ago , Iran would have been one of the most modern advanced countries in the world , free of ALL the problems that we see today!

IRI=NAZIs  it needs to be destroyed one way or another , either by the people themselves or foriegners.

Well...

Lets hope when the captured are about to be publicly hang, you show your support as openly as condemning the attack now.

These terrorists deserve a bullet between their eyes. I have no problem pulling the trigger myself.

Btw, whoever they are they should be held responsible

And they should pay for killing innocent people.

So sad

Have already commented somewhere.

Is it really about religion? Doubt it.

Religion is just an excuse. Handy one, mind you. Convenient.

hamsade ghadimi

Ok, you persuaded me bro;  I agree with you.  thanks for the passion, i like it.

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.

tabriz, my comments were in

tabriz, my comments were in response to your initial claim that "this has nothing to do with iri."  and in my feeble attempt, i'm trying to show you how "this had everything to do with iri."  this is the response of a terrorist organization (jundullah) against another terrorist organization (iri) where innocent people get killed. 

and fyi, sunni wahabism is not a new phenomenon.  it's been around for about 300 years. look it up.

This is a power strugle

I think this is a power struggle between Saudis backed by the US (together with other Gulf countries in the region) and the IRI. Pakistan was getting large amount of cash from Saudis in the past to spread Wahabi ideology in the region. How much Pakistanis are involved is a guess. Both the IRI and Saudis want to maintain their power in the region.

Mola Nasredeen

Iran is not on the path of progress and democracy; that is our main problem.  even if you see some crazy ideas that sound like supporting the terrorists; it is because people are fed up with the ruthless gang called IR that you support.  I am sure they are very sad that innocent people died that had nothing to do with any wrong doing against IR.  this should actualy tell you a lot about what kinda government you're supporting; that some iranians would rather support them that your stupid IR gang;  you won't be able to do any good for iran either because you support a bunch if rapists.

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.

molla

you must be a jackass disguised in a camel outfit.  i'm responding to tabriz who says the bombing was just a spontaneous act of hatred against shias by sunnis and not an act against iri.  and he didn't remember other mosque bombings.

i just pointed out to him that this year (2010) there was a mosque bomging by jundullah (guess when?  imam hossein's birthday) where they claimed responsibility (guess where? zahedan).  and now (2010) there's a bombing of another packed mosque (guess when? anniversary of imam hosssein's death).   guess where? zahedan.  this is not to justify what these a-holes have done to innocent people to show their anger at the a-holes who run iri and those who promote iri (like you).  this is called re-telling of actual events.

get that through your fat skull and go noshkhar on some yonjeh.

hamsade ghadimi

Yeah, it is true, but I don't consider Jundullah to represent the sunni baluchi people.  and I am with IR in elliminating Jundollah and any other arms resistance for any reason.  no country tollerates this kiind of terrorism and Iran shouldn't tollerate it either.  We all have one thing in common with IR, we don't want either to divide up into smaller countries.  I am sorry but I don't want to punish IR if the cost is to divide Iran into smaller countries.  I agree with you though, so please don't blame me.  every decision  that we take in combating IR should envolve a cost/benifit analysis.  we can't just agree with anything that harms IR, IR will go sooner or later, what is important is for us to have an IRan in one piece.  for example Pahlavi's let Bahrain get away; I wasn't going to support that even if I was against shah; or when we let Azerbaijan to get away;  is that fine if you were agaist Kajars.  I don't understand what exactly u're supporting;  all i am saying is this is a terrorist organization that has to be rooted out;  even if they have a good cause;  good cause does not justify killing innocent people; we should atleast agree that much; and if you don't agree with me i this point, I'll kick you A**. (kidding)

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.

Shame on you all who

apologize on behalf of terroists who are killing innocent Iranians. Shame on you. Read your own pathetics reasoning.

Listen! killing Iranians is not going to help your cuase, even President Obama condemned this horrific act of terroism. The audacity of you bunch coming to an Iranian website and spew your hatred.

This is why non of you have any chance of changing anything in Iran for better. You are all condemned to stay outside of Iran and burn in your own hatred for the rest of your life while the Iranian nation will go forward on the path of progress and democracy.

tabriz, jundullah has

tabriz, jundullah has bombed mosques in iran in their "fight" against iri.  surely, you can do a bit of search on the internet before claiming that there has been none.  i advise you to read up a bit on topics that you lecture instead of posing rhetorical questions.  here are two instances:

here’s a mosque bombing in shiraz in which a cleric ‘just happened’ to be delivering a sermon against sunnis and bahais. 

//www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351011,00.html

 The 2010 Zahedan bombings were two suicide bombings on 15 July 2010 that targeted Shia worshippers in Iran, including members of the Revolutionary Guards. [4] The bombings targeted those celebrating the birthday of a Muslim saint at the Jamia mosque in Zahedan, Sistan-Baluchestan. Responsibility for the attacks was claimed by Jundullah in revenge for the execution of their leader by the Iranian government. Amongst the reactions and national and supranational condemnations, Iran blamed the USA and Israel for facilitating the attack.//wapedia.mobi/en/2010_Zahedan_mosque_bombings

so if jundullah claims responsibility for bombing a mosque, would you believe that jundullah would bomb a mosque? (hint: the answer is in the question).

hamsade ghadimi

Look at the action;  killing people in the mosque;  how is this an act against IR?  how does this harm IR?  they didn't kill sepah guys like rigi people usually do.  rigi people usually target sepah guys; which I disgree with that too.  but why don't you think that this terrorist action is just like the boming of shia mosque in pakistan; what is so different; they are just killing shia pple.  I acknowledge the discrimination against Sunni muslims;  but trust me, sunni muslim are sad because of this act too; because they know that IR does not equal their shia compatriots.  if this was an act by sunni's to get their rights then i would be very surprised and still condemn it;  but i just think baluchi people will not resort to terrorism to get their rights, specially killing regular people;  i have more faith in iranians than that. don't think that i am supporting IR just by saying that this terrorist act has nothing to do with IR;  I dislike IR supporters and always argue with them.

let's not turn our backs on Iran just because there is a criminal gang running the country;  condemn the suicide bombing;  even this act is because of discrimination it is as wrong as any terrorist action;  terrorism is terrorism;  nothing justifies it;  did US discriminated against Wahabi's when they got hit in 911? 

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.

خشونت، آدمکشی، جنایت

حکومتی که خشونت، آدمکشی، جنایت، آدم ربایی، زندان و شکنجه و دادگاه های فرمایشی را تبلیغ و پیروی کند. حکومتی که فرزندان رشید، نخبه، آزادیخواه، و صادق را زندانی، شکنجه و اعدام کند. حکومتی که بجای صحبت و منطق گفتگو با معترضین به چوب و چماق اراذل و اوباش ، توپ و تشر و تیرباری نیروهای امنیتی/سپاهی، دادگاه های نمایشی با قضاتی جنایتکار یدتر از هر جانی، و شکنجه گرانی که به هیچ اصول انسانی اعتقادی ندارند، و طبق اخبار موثق حتی به مبانی دین و امامان خود حکومت نیز توهین و ناسزا میدهند، چه میتواند انتظار داشته باشد؟ حکومتی که در قرن ۲۱ و باوجود تصریح و قبول نهادهایی دموکراتیک (چون مجلس و انتخابات ، و قانونی اساسی) در قوانین موجود مملکت و خود به تصویب رسانده، بدنبال ایجاد حلقه های مصونیت بنام فصل الخطاب بودن برای مهره هایی بی ابرو میگردد، چه ارمغان بهتر از این میتواند برای مردم داشته باشد؟ تارخ از چنگیز بعنوان فردی خون آشام و آدمکش یاد میکند. مروری بر فیلم زندگی اوی روشن میسازد که چنگیز پیش بسیاری از حکومت مداران رژیم کودتا و بسیاری از فرمانروایان ۳۱ سال گذشته حکومت پیغمبری از معصومیت و دانایی بود. از مسائل مختلف چنگیز میگذریم، و فقط یک قانون از قوانین ساده وی را به نقل کردنش می ارزد. چنگیز همه سپاهیان مغول را از حمله و کشتار زنان و کودکان منع کرده بود، و سزای چنان عملی را مرگ میتدانست. عجیب نیست؟ آنوقت رژیمی مذهبی، در قرن ۲۱، نه تنها به زنان و کودکان رحمی ندارد، که جدا از کشتار های سیستماتیک کشتارعلنی زنان و کودکان را بنام اعدام ها در زندانهای خود بنمایش میگذارد. حکومت هنوز درک نکرده که نمیتواند با دیدگاههای احمقانه تواب سازی، و دگر دیسی آدمها به حیات ننگین خود ادامه دهد. اعدام، کشتار (نمونه های حملات عاشور سال قبل، حمله به راه پیمایی ها، کشتار در زندانها، شکنجه ها) اگر هم به حذف فیزیکی فردی منجر و یا به شکسن شخصیتی کسی بیانجامد، فقط آتش هارا در زیر خاکستر افزایش میدهد. کسی که به هر عنوان منتقی در کار حکومت نمی بیند، و درهای مذاکره و گفتگو را بسته می بیند، و آگاه به اعمال رژیم در سیاهچالهایش میباشد، آنگاه که بمبارزه بر میخیزد به آنچه فکر نمیکند تسلیم و یا مذاکره است، چون با رژیمی و افرادی روبروست که هنوز بعد از ۳۱ سال در مذاکره (شکنجه) با زندانیان بدلیل اعمال شنیع خود صورت هارا میپوشانند، و از اسامی دروغین استفاده میکنند، که به وضوح روشن میسازد که هم آن افراد و هم آمران آنها از کارهای زشتی که انجام میدهند و جنایاتی که روا میدارند با اطلاع اند. از طرفی این خود حکومت است که همواره بر این طبل خانمان برانداز کوبیده، و آنرا تبلیغ کرده، زمانی که در رسانه ای خود برای ثبت نام بمب گذاران انتحاری برای دیگر ممالک داوطلب می پذیرفت. این خود حکومت است که هنوز در مذاکرات دیپلوماتیک سعی در استفاده از این ابزار جنایت آمیز دارد، و از آن بعنوان وسیله ای برای اخاذی استفاده میکند! چگونه میشود که حکومتی آنهمه شکنجه، اعدام، کشتار، بی عدالتی و دروغ و تقلب و ریا را در مورد مردم خود بکار ببرد، جدا از کشتار در زندانها، زیر کردن افراد با ماشینها، و یا کشتار سیستمیک مخالفین در خارج از زندانها (قتل های زنجیره ای) و حتی سوزاندن اجساد را برای خود مجاز بداند، و انجام حملات تروریستی و بمب گذاری های انتحاری را در لبنان، عراق، افغانستان، یمن، کویت، و... حلال و مباح و روا بداند، آنوقت زمانی که کس و یا کسانی همین شیوه ناپسند را در مورد خود آنها بکار ببرد، ناله و فغان برآورند که امریاکا و اسراییل و ... بقیه هستند! حقیقت این است که دنیا خود قربانی اعمال این چنینی تبلیغ شده از طرف حکومت و همچنین گروه های تروریستی چون القاعده و یا طالبان است، و هیچ مغز سلیمی بجز چماقداران اراذل و اوباش حاکم بر ایران.، و یا گروه های تروریستی که عمدتا مورد حمایت خود این رژیم قرار دارند، چنین اعمالی را نه تجوز میکند و نه پسندیده میداند، پس قبول کنیم این همان میوه درختی است، که رژیم خون جوانان، کودکان، و زنان و مردان ایرانی و غیر ایرانی را سالهاست که به پای آن می ریزد. صدا های حل مشکلات دیگر از زمزمه به فریادها تبدیل شده. به اعلامیه های آقایان کروبی و موسوی که در همان مملکت مصیبت دیده زندگی میکنند توجه کنید. از آنها ممنون باشید که هنوز هم سبب آنها روشن نگاه داشتن کورسویی دردل مردم برای حل منطقی مصائبی که برسر ملت آورده و میاورید هستند. و یادتان نرود که چه دورخیز ها از مزدوران حکومتی در تمامی ستوح در حذف آنها دیده شده!

Veild Prophet

That is a very personal thing, but I am very sad that you changed your religion to something else.  I think you made a big mistake;  maybe you should have studied Islam in a deeper way, independantly.  My parents didn't talk about religion to us;  and i think that was so smart;  when my relgious grandmother once took me to mosque, my father got really mad and told her to leave me alone;  even though he prayed sometimes; it is really hard to think freely when the society and one's parents are pushing one to think and believe a certain way.  I thought about these issues deeply;  there are some things that i haven't resolved by the way;  I am going to be very honest with you;  two things that I haven't been able to make a sense of is:

1.  why use force to convert people to Islam; this happened and Muhammad was involved;  eventhough I love  him so much; but I just don't understand why a beautiful religion of Islam needs forced for persuation, it's really a funny thing. it is like forcing a hungry iranian guy to eat chelokabab, it makes no sense.

2.  the next thing is all the does and do nots.  that hasn't improved our lives a bit.  we should decide what is good for us and what is bad for us based on our knowledge and understanding and our good will to serve God.

so, dont think that it was easy for me to over look these things, not at all.  but once you understand the essense of Islam then it's all about having the courage to do the right thing; and to train yourself to recognize the right thing at the right time.  I honestly think Islam is the only religion that does that well.   which religion tells you to fear God? not many.  they all talk about Loving God; but fear is the single crazy emotion that keeps us from improving our lives, and it is impossible to get rid of fear, you can't get rid of it, you have to redirect it some where.  Islam redirects that fear to Allah and then tells you that Allah loves you; this might make more sense to married people (i am not married but i know how they feel; they fear and love their wives at the same time; so they won't cheat on her; and we shouldn't cheat on God by fearing and loving him at the same time);  with this perscription you're ready for any battle in life;  your only fear is dissapointing God and Muhammad; and all they have asked you to do is to do the right thing; you start the path by  doing very simple things that you know they are right;  very simple things such as respecting your parents, not lying atleast when you don't have to, and so on.. littel by little you'll see yourself going higher and higher in thought and in action;  in 5, 6 year's time you've developed a very sharp conscience; you don't lie at all because you're not afraid of people, people respect you more because they can depend on you, they can trust your word, they come to you for help;  I know people will say, well this is just simple human desency, I say, then fine, i agree, Islam promotes nothing but this way of life; and your new science and technnology does not promote this way of life; at best it promotes nothing;  it just gives us more toys to play with;  to me Islam is very simple in concept and very had to put into action; because it is very hard to do the right thing especially if you have not worked hard to improve and purify yourself.  So, i learned all this from Muhammad; and that is why i love this person;   islam is simply, action based on knowing to get higher in knowledge and firmer in action and you continue this ontill you have avoided God's dissatisfaction.

اسـتـغـفـر
الله الذى لا اله الا هـو مـن جـمیع ظلمى و جرمى و اسرافى على نفسى و اتوب
الیه از خداوندى كه هیچ معبودى جز او نیست ، به خاطر تمامى ظلمها و
گناهانم و ستمى كه بر خود روا داشته ام طلب بخشش ‍ مى كنم و به سوى او باز
مى گردم

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.

tabriz, you're being

tabriz, you're being belligerent.  i can point you to all policies by iri that systematically discriminate against the sunnis and you'll still say that these policies have nothing to do with the bombings.  rigi (before he was dead) said that iri doesn't let them practice their own religion (e.g., closing down sunni mosques, banning call to prayers by sunnis, etc.) and that's why they've taken up against the iri.  and still you say, "no.  this happens in pakistan all the time.  the bombings have nothing to do with iri."

don't you think that sunnis get upset by these policies?  don't you think that sunnis will more easily recruit terrorists for their cause with these policies?  so these policies have zero effect on the radical sunnis in iran.  did you even read the links?

Tabriz - My definition of a progressive muslim

"You have to tolerate us; and we will tolerate you; don’t fight us please, it won’t benefit you a bit....." Wow...this is profound...the Us and You thing, I have always said that the future SECULAR government in Iran must have representation from all factions including the Islamist party, but the Islamists MUST NOT rule!...... anyway. Tell me Tabriz, which comes first for you: Iran or Islam?

Progressive means that you respect women, treat them as equals, do not force them to wear the opressive hejab (which is not in the ghoraan), stop the sharia law nonsense and abide by the universal civil code adopted by every half way civilized nation, promote science and science education instead of superstitious mumbo jumbo, stop treating non-muslims as najes, unholy or derserving to die (like the "good book" says)etc...etc...... Are you NOT progressive?

I do hope that one day all humans regadless of their religion can live side by side. Of course, by then, we would have probably found something else to kill each other for, but that time is not here yet - if it ever will be.

Wow, looks like IC has been hit by a virus or spam

Mahmoodg is condemning all Bombing? All the meanwhile he is advocating and wishing for "surgical attack" on Iran.

humm, does he mean "surgical attack" by dropping candy and kisses or bombs?

Anyway, this is a message (slip) you never expect to see but it is surely welcome, no matter by whom or when or where. ALL BOMBING need to be condemn no matter where or against whom

discrimination of sunni's argument;;;

Sunni's are discriminated against in Iran;  the oil
money doesn't flow that way... this is all very true; very very ture; and IR is
directly responsible for this discrimination, no question about that;; but
don't miss things... today's  act of terrorism is not because of discrimination; 
this terrorist stuff happens all the time in pakistan; it is what extrimist
sunni wahabbist do as a hobby, kill shia;  come on people, do you ever
read the news coming from south asia; this is not our balouch citizens fighting
for their rights;  I would join them in their struggle, we should all
should.  this act is a murderous terrorist act headed by non-iranians.
if love of our country is big enough in your hearts, then all of us can
join together with all of our vast differences to fight agaist IR, the the
wrong policies of US and Israel in the region; and against Iran.  IF you
guys haven't woke up yet and smelled the coffee, here is something for
you;  US and Israel are the main beneficiaries of IR and ahmadinejad.

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.

Tabriz Jan

Before I proceed, there is something wrong with the formatting of your post that makes it hard to read.

Anyway, I do NOT think that raping men or women is Islamic. I do not think that a Muslim can claim to speak for God. And I most definitely do not blame you and your religion for what is going on in Iran. Khamenei is a small minded egotist who wants to put himself above God. I do not think he believes in God because if he did he would not act as he does now. Because his actions are a sure way to hell whether you are Muslim or Christian.

Now if Muslims want to vote and accept the results then it is fine with me. Unfortunately some people use Islam as an excuse to push their agenda.

I do have one issue and want to see what you think? If a person is born into a Muslim family are they allowed to change religion? I was born into a Muslim family but I changed my religion to something else. How do you think this should be handled?

Thank you 

VPK

Cost-of-progress jaan

First thank you for caring about what I think.  I care about you think
too.  I don't exactly know what you mean by progressive, but if you
mean liberal then i must say that I don't consider myself a progressive. 
I consider myself a muslim; and my goal in life is for Muhammad to consider me
as a member of his Ummah.  I am not a muslim apologist;  I want to be
a perfect muslim, with an awakened mind that is ready to take an action based
on LOVE and TRUTH.  Islamic Republic rapes people in prison, lies to
people, brands its citizens as "zedde enghelab", and khamenie
considers himself to be a representative of God on earth, so you tell me one
thing, do these things sound like Islamic to you?  IF your answer is Yes,
then my suggestion to you is to go and educate yourself about Islam.  I
want a free Iran with elected official as much as you;  and in my opinion
if Iran was a true islamic country, good muslims would be in charge (just like
turkey, just like hammas elections, just like Lebonan).  But if Iranians decide
to vote for an anti-islimists, then I won't complain, it is only fair; what
ever people want;  I am not a
terrorist;  but I would work to educate
people about the true meaning of Islam.  I
believe in changing the world through education and persuasion;  In that sense, I consider myself a
libral;  In iran everyone should have an equal citizenship and there
should be free election; and the rights of minorities should be
preserved.   

and your question about, why this (sunni terrorist acts) didn't happen
before;  the answer is so obvious.  Sunni Wahabism is a new
phenonemon.  Why did september 11 happen only few years ago, why didn’t it
happen 20 years ago.  These terrorists decided that Shia people are
"koffar", let's kill them; end of story; it has nothing to do with
IR.  let's be fair;  I can assure you one thing; my dislike for IR is
no less than yours; at the same time I look at life 180 degrees different from
your, that said, I assure you that I can live side by side of you with no
problem; and with friendship and mutual respect; but that requires that you
respect me as well because I am an Iranian and That lands belong to me as much as
you; and I will fight to preserve it for the generations to come; islamists are
not  going anywhere; in fact if you
compare the Islamic movement today, it is more dynamic that 30 years ago.  Consider what is happening in Turkey and
Egypt; two of the most important and advanced Muslim countries.  You have to tolerate us; and we will tolerate
you; don’t fight us please, it won’t benefit you a bit.   

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.

Once you start classifying people based on their religion...

 or ethnicity, then suppress, humiliate, jail and torture them, keep them at poverty levels only known to poorest people of africa. Once you accuse people demanding Right to their own religion and language, of "separatism" then go about killing, raping and torturing them, then this is what you get.

No amount of condemning this crime will bring victims back to life or prevent this tragedy from recurring. Only complete dismantling of the religious apatheid regime of  islamist velayate faghih  and it's replacement with a secular federal republic of Iran will start the healing process and end this mindless cycle of violence. 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

Of course there is deep seated discrimination against sunnis

but what does that have to do with this bombing?  Do you think that religious discrimination justifies terrorism?  Nothing justifies intentionally targetting civilians.

be an educated act

tabriz, i'm surprised that a self-confessed devout moslem from iran doesn't know about the systematic suppression of the sunnis in iran by the iri.  the sunnis have been discriminated in the universities, government jobs, and even mosques in iran.

read the section (and associated references) on the shia-sunni rift in iran in the past 30 years in the following wikipedia link:

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shi'a%E2%80%93Sunni_relations

also check out the following links:

then tell me what you think.

Islamic way of negotiation

Hezbollah must be very surprise why after these many years of training and supporting terrorist way of thinking and acting, now it is knocking at their doors.

I wondered if anybody is keeping tracks of how many Muslims killed by other Muslims?

May be I should do that!!! all I have to do, just add up numbers by end of every evening news.   

Tabriz, OK, I know

that you identify yourself as moslem and also consider yourself a progressive one - Fine, I will not challenge you on that point.
Tell me, if you believe that this would have happened anyway regardless of this regime, then how many times have these things happened in IRAN in the past? Iran, not aragh, not paakestan, not any other hellhole.
The answer is zero. The IR is the root of all evil.
the Shi'it and Sunnis can kill each other til the cows come home for all I care - Just not in Iran.
As for Iran being religious, that's is one of our major flaws which can only be rectified via education and, yes, access to outside information sources...to know that there's actually a whole wide world out there that does not know or care about Islam. A world most of which actually values and celebrates life.... NOT some dead arabs who have been gone for a long long time.

this has nothing to do with IR

Sunni extermist wahabist are on the rise and they have shown to target Shia mosques.  It happens all the time in pakistan region.  Right now is Ashura which is very important religious time for Shia people.  So, the terrorist extermist wahabi sunnis saw the time right to attack regular shia muslims in the mosque that they were morning the death of their emam Hossein.  it would have happened under any kind of system; because their problem is with shia ideology not with the system.  that is why they chose Ashura to do this terrorist act.  this is not the time to bash IR, there are more than sufficient opportunities for that.  Some of you are just full of hate for regular iranian people that are religious.  geuss what Iran is still a very religious country.  you only see the capital Tehran, but Iran does not equal Tehran;  that is where your mistake is;  you have no idea about people of Iran that don't have access to internet and don't express themselves as much as the young kids with access to internet.  what precent of iranians have access to internet; i am guessing at most 20% of population; which are mostly young people.  No question that IR is a ruthless corrupt gang, but there is time and place for that;  40 innocent Iranians dies because of this terrorist act; atleast be decent enough to respect their blood.

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.
