We have passed midnight, and no one is turning back the clock Russia-Ukranian war crosses boundaries On 21 November 2024, the Russian military deployed intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs), an unstoppable force of mass destruction, against Ukraine. While we slept in oblivion, a line was crossed that had not been crossed before. Though even if we had known, there would have been no way to stop it. This event illustrated just how easy it is to end the world and how fragile peace truly is. No historian will be able to write about World War III without mentioning this day – when the world came terribly close to ending.
Allah’s mercy prevails over His wrath

Hazrat Abu Hurairahra narrated, that the Holy Prophetsa said, “When Allah created the creation, He inscribed in His Book, making it binding upon Himself – and this record is kept with Him upon the Throne – ‘Indeed, My Mercy prevails over My Wrath.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab at-tawhid, Bab qawlillahi ta‘ala ‘wa yuhazzirukumullahu nafsah’, Hadith 7405)

Weapons of mass destruction Decades-old predictions from World War II were materialised in the form of ballistic missiles, commonly referred to as BMs. A ballistic missile is a type of missile that utilises projectile motion to deliver warheads to a target. The advanced qualities of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) make them commonly used for delivering thermonuclear weapons. A thermonuclear weapon, also known as a fusion weapon or hydrogen bomb, is classified as a second-generation nuclear weapon. Unlike the bulky and cumbersome

nuclear weapons often portrayed in popular movies and series, modern secondgeneration weapons are much more compact. Some ICBMs can even carry multiple warheads, allowing each one to strike a different target. If you’re counting the number of countries that possess nuclear weapons, you may want to recount. The current focus should be on countries with operational ICBMs, as a weapon that cannot reach its intended enemy is of no use. For the reader’s convenience, some basic information is provided below. Generally, the greater the missile’s range, the more
challenging it is to intercept. After reaching a certain range, the ballistic missile enters a new category: • Tactical ballistic missile (TBM): Range less than 300 kilometres • Short-range ballistic missile (SRBM): Range from 300 to 1,000 km • Medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM): Range from 1,000 to 3,500 km • Intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM): Range from 3,500 to 5,500 km • Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM): Range greater than 5,500 km Continued on next page >>
Backbiting “The Holy Quran states regarding the one who backbites that he eats the flesh of his dead brother. This disease is widespread among women. They sit and gossip till midnight and then wake up in the morning and start doing the same thing, but this should be avoided. There is a particular Surah for women in the Holy Quran. It has been mentioned in the hadith that the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said that I saw mostly poor people in Paradise and saw many women in Hell.” (Malfuzat [English], Vol. 8, p. 386)
