Pakistan know only too well how it feels to lose children from indiscriminate attacks. Powerful gesture.
Remember: Pray Salat Al-Isha’. While you are at it, pray shafi’ and witr. Follow it with thikr. Remembering Allah Subhana wa ta’ala before you sleep is guaranteed protection by Allah while you sleep.

‘My Jihad’ Bus Ads Debut In Chicago
A new ad campaign debuted this week in Chicago that’s sure to turn some heads.
On Monday, 25 CTA buses began sporting ads from “My Jihad,” a new educational campaign introduced by the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Chicago chapter (CAIR-Chicago).
Founded by Ahmed Rehab, CAIR-Chicago executive director, the campaign was conceived as a response to the anti-Islam ad campaign created by conservative blogger Pamela Geller, who ran a series of controversial “Defeat Jihad” ads on city buses last month.
The goal of the campaign, Rehab explained, is “reclaiming Jihad from the Muslim and anti-Muslim extremists who ironically, but not surprisingly, see eye to eye on Jihad,” according to a CAIR statement.
The literal meaning of Jihad, according to the BBC, is “struggle or effort” — not simply a “holy war” waged on behalf of Islam. It is a central doctrine of the Islamic faith.
