Jerusalem: Israel’s Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz on Wednesday announced that a train station set to be built adjacent to Jerusalem’s Western Wall and will be named after United States President Donald Trump.
The Jerusalem Post quoted the Israeli minister as saying, “The Western Wall is the holiest place for the Jewish people, and I decided to name the train station that leads to it after President Trump, following his historic and brave decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel.”
Katz said the decision was taken to honour President Trump’s decision to consider Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
The station will be build as part of an extension of Jerusalem’s highspeed rail, which will soon reach the Western Wall.
Earlier in May, Trump became the first U.S. President to visit the wall, which is considered one of the holiest sites in Judaism, during his trip to Israel.
On Monday, a deputy minister had said that Israel is in touch with “at least ten countries” over the possible transfer of their embassies to Jerusalem.
Hotovely’s statement comes a day after Guatemala said it would move its embassy to the city. The move was called “shameful” by Palestinian officials.
Earlier on December 19, the United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution, calling for the withdrawal of President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The U.S. was the sole dissenting vote.
The move comes after Trump unilaterally recognised Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and has prompted international criticism and sparked protests across the world.

Stretching Feet Facing the Kabah: Allowed?

Q uestions: As-salamu `alaykum. Is it wrong to sit or sleep with your feet facing the east or facing the Kabah A nswer: In his response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states: If a person is sitting stretching his feet towards the direction of the Kabah with the specific intention of showing disrespect, then that is definitely considered a blasphemous act and a grave sin, for at all times we are ordered to respect the symbols of Allah. The Kabah, being the House of Allah, is worthy of utmost reverence. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “O Allah! Enhance the honor, status and awe of this House in the minds of those who visit or go around it.” Allah says, “Whosoever respects the symbols of Allah, he does so only by virtue of the piety embedded in their hearts.”(Al-Hajj 22:32) Having said this, however, I should further state: If a person does no...

No incident of violence or disruption was reported,” said Gurugram Deputy Commissioner Vinay Pratap Singh as per a report by  The Hindu . The outfit Sanyukt Hindu Sangharsh Samiti that protested against Muslims praying in open spaces had assured the district administration a few days ago that it would not disturb the Friday prayers, moreover, members of the outfit had met Singh on May 16.

Why do Dogs start Barking (Howling) at the time of Azan ?

Q uestions: Why do dogs cry at the time of Fajr Azan? This is an incident that I’ve noticed very often. A nswer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. There are many wonders of Allah in His Creation. Dogs are among His Creatures. It is confirmed in a Hadith that dogs see what human beings cannot see. Abu Dawud reported in his Sunan that Jabir Ibn Abdullah narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said:” If you hear the barking of dogs and the braying of donkeys by night, seek refuge in Allah, as they see what you cannot see”. Albani and others classified this Hadith as authentic. In Sahih Al Jamie’, following the above Hadith is stated: ..’And reduce going out when it is quiet( when everybody is indoors at night time) as Allah diffuses by night what He wishes among His Creation, and lock your doors and mention the Name of Allah on them as ...
