Ahmed Bahgat wrote today in Al-Ahram:
اللهم إنا نسألك بدعاء آدم وحواء: ربنا ظلمنا أنفسنا وإن لم تغفر لنا وترحمنا لنكونن من الخاسرين..
اللهم إنا نسألك بدعاء إبراهيم وإسماعيل: ربنا تقبل منا إنك أنت السميع العليم, ربنا واجعلنا مسلمين لك ومن ذريتنا أمة مسلمة لك وأرنا مناسكنا, وتب علينا إنك أنت التواب الرحيم..
ونسألك بدعاء نوح: استغفروا ربكم إنه كان غفارا, يرسل السماء عليكم مدرارا, ويمددكم بأموال وبنين, ويجعل لكم جنات ويجعل لكم أنهارا..
ونسألك بدعاء سليمان: رب أوزعني أن أشكر نعمتك التي أنعمت علي وعلي والدي, وأن أعمل صالحا ترضاه, وأدخلني برحمتك في عبادك الصالحين..
وندعوك بدعاء يونس: لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين..
وندعوك بدعاء محمد عليه الصلاة والسلام: إن صلاتي ونسكي ومحياي ومماتي لله رب العالمين لا شريك له وبذلك أمرت وأنا أول المسلمين..

Morning Joe
This morning I was having breakfast watching to NBC’s Morning Joe. They were discussing whether those who authorized torture in American Prisons should be persecuted when Joe asked which is worse torturing prisoners or killing hundreds of thousands of German women and children in World War II; should we go ahead and persecute Ted Roosevelt for killing innocent Germans?
I could not help but to remember that the Prophet Mohammed instructed Muslims to avoid killing women, children and old people when fighting wars. Even trees were protected as well as churches and synagogues. Muslims armies were instructed not to touch these places.
I also could not help but remember that the Prophet Mohammed also forbidden Muslims from torturing their enemies saying only god can do that.
