Welcome Message
By Laila Ali
Salam,
Welcome to The Mahdi Times
Issue # 25, December 2014.

High. This issue is a unique one as
I have decided to cover a topic that
seems to be somewhat irrelevant to
discuss to many but is central to
the elevation of the believers; the

Malaish Ya Makkah
By Alicia Ali
I see thunder
I see lightning
I see the sun
Resembling Venus
She fumes in fury
I see the blessed mountains
Crumble to dust
As I close my eyes
In guilt to distract my vision
of this tragic reality
Processions follow
Grand ceremonies
Mass Celebrations
Media Madness
Economic boom
Ribbons cut
Surgeons gather to unveil New Bakkah.
Like a forced marriage
Bakkah sobs in utter sorrow
To the world like Mother Queen
She upkeeps her gracious smile
A modified bride stitched, scarred,
Coated with wax
Her blood stained gown
remains oblivious to the masses.
LE ELAFI QURAISH she murmurs in pain.
In shame we offer our condolence to you oh mother
with two simple words:
Malaish Ya Makkah.
(poetry by Alicia Ali)

That She was skillfully placed
Amongst the Valley of Bekkah
To be protected by the Mountains of Makkah.

The patriarchal
misinterpretation of holy texts,
done to oppress and abuse the
sanctity and divine feminine
energy has led to the confusion
and corruption. It became
almost cyclical in its entirety.
It has no base or place in Islam
for we have the Creator telling
us how powerful the divine
feminine is when He spoke about
the ranks.
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said,
"The objects shown to the angels
were five lights. Allah (swt)
informed the angels pointing to
each of the lights respectively:
(i) This is Muhammad (s.a.w),
the most praised, derived from
My name, the praised one.
(ii) This is Ali (a.s), the high,
derived from My name, the
highest.
(iii) This is Fatima (a.s), the
original, derived from my name,
the originator of the heavens
and the earth.
(iv) This is Hasan (a.s), the
bountiful, derived from My
name, the benefactor.
(v) This is Hussain (a.s), the
good, derived from My name, the
good in origin.
