HIV/AIDS, JIHAD and FORGIVENESS

Every 14 seconds AIDS makes another child an orphan.
There are more than 34 million orphaned children, and nearly 15 million of these children have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS. Something must be done. Visit>>http://go.care2.com/e/gBMG/MOo/pUj_

To understand the true meaning of Jihad, do read Prof Zul's (USM's VC) article in yesterday's NSunT or go to http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/000664.php
Quote:
"In my line of work, I hear it all the time — from Muslims and non-Muslims alike: "jihad doesn't mean 'holy war.' The Arabic word means 'struggle.' In Islam jihad primarily means the struggle within the soul of the believer to conform his life to the will of Allah."

An open letter to sdr AO and KN:
Salaam and Ramadan al-Mubarak,
Hope you both are in the best of health. I have addressed this issue of appropriate approach many times before, thus I do not wish to sound like a broken record. However, I think 8 or 10 years are too long and too precious a time for anyone to waste on tactics that are ineffective. Sdr AO,
I think you should let go and move on with your life. Nothing would make her happier now than to see you have a compatible partner to share your life, and wealth, with. So, let bygones be bygones, do forgive and forget.
Sdr KN,
Perhaps there is still hope for both of you. And I mean just the two of you, uncluttered with undesirable characters in the midst. I’m convinced that you are a very intelligent person, hence it must be diffidence or pride that hinders you or your representatives from articulating your good intentions. If you had indeed ventured or sent representatives to her ‘doorstep’, the next logical step then would be to invite her verbally since she feels awkward speaking to strangers or entering strange cars and homes.
Otherwise, you should leave her alone, free to pursue her own interests and passions, and untroubled by unsettling thoughts about her values and practices. Allah is the source of her sustenance and protection; abundant wealth from questionable sources may indeed compound her guilt about “crude materialism, income inequality and social injustice”. Unless you are willing to give part of your fortune to further her wish to redistribute to those in dire straits, or to struggle for a more “enlightened and just society”, do let the matter rest.
May Allah Bless You.
