- Taken from TheHindu dated 15th June 08.

Mass rape is not just a byproduct of war but also sometimes a deliberate weapon.

Commanders has used it as a strategy of war.

Zahra AbdelKarim - what was her fault?

Eastern Congo - three-quarters of women raped.

Rapes conducted with pointed sticks that leave the victims incontinent from internal injuries.

What Allah has said - Allah Ta��la says in the Noble Qur��n, ���You are the best of nations sent to man. You command good and forbid evil and you believe in Allah���. (Aali Imraan). Allah Ta��la states that one reason for this Ummah being titled as the best of Ummah, is the practice of commanding good and preventing evil.

Hadhrat Abu Hurayra (Radhiallaahu ��nhu) states that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ��layhi Wasallam) said, ���Command good and prohibit evil or else Allah will send such a punishment that will destroy everyone���.

If people do not prohibit evil and sin in the society, the entire society - innocent and evil - will equally suffer.
