How a negative can turn into a positive…..

February 22nd, 2009

Saturday, 21st February 2009

Inital reports showed the Algerian authorities were somewhat stalling the convoy at the border, and indeed this was the case. however I have just learnt that after all the comotion, delays and checks, the convoy crossed the border and the Algerian authorities have provided fuel to fill up the vehicles. Im sure if the likes of Shell, BP or Esso advertised that they would provide free fuel for any cars that came through their stations for 1 day, hundreds of us would gladly queue, many throughout the night to benefit from a full tank of fuel, on the house.

In this instance we are talking about free fuel for not one but many vehicles all on the house courtesy of Algeria just outside Maghnia!

It just goes to show, some things that start off negative can lead to a positve outcome…..

*****NEWS FLASH*****

00:25 (GMT) - Text update from the A Team

“Salaam we went through centre and hundreds of people here, it was amazing as its somthing we have never seen before. There were hundreds of people on the streets cheering. We were on the roof of our van, hanging off the back ladder with Mudasir tannoy. It was top, even the police are cheering ‘Allah Hu Akbar’. The youths, kids and men were hugging us…a 15yr old boy told me that even the muslims who drink came on the street to shout ‘Allah Hu Akbar’ and they make dua for us everyday to succeed.
We have come to a caravan site to sleep now”

    yay!! wow this is great! I really would love to see videos of this! Can someone please try to upload them on youtube. I am eager to watch the updated videos. I really hope that because of this convoy, maybe the Muslims who are astray now, will come back to the right path and unite as one Ummah. Inshallah Allah will revive the Islamic spirit across the world, and I think this convoy is the flame that will light everyone’s candles. It brings tears of joy to my eyes every time I read these updates. I wish I could have joined!!!!! It really is a bummer living in such a country where everything is censored… =[ Which is why we cant start any convoys from here….;[

    free fuel is damage limitation , but forget about algeria , we can/will address them once you have returned back to uk with your experience for now we need to enjoy/accept the gesture. even if you was showered with jewels you should/hopefully would not remain silent on the experience you was inflicted with . if they wanna check for ak’s then let them but they must ensure that the impact of this must be minimal on transit pasengers/vehicles.

    Algeria/Morraco you reap what you sow please remember that without exception , if you haress our citizens expect a backlash , since you do not posess the power of the zionists and you are more vulnerable to working class opionion of the uk muslim or not .
    SHOW RESPECT OR FEEL THE REPURCUSSIONS FOR YOUR TOURIST INDUSTRIES

    Salam all,

    It’s not negative. It’s a test from Allah. Test of a patient, tawajuh and tawakal. And it’s always a benefit behind a est and only one know when we go through it ourself with patient, imaan and amal and keep close relationship with Allah.

    I can see lots of test you all go through, but i believe your imaan and spirit if high and Allah is there to help whenever you all need and what is the best except Help from Him.

    I believe the convoy will suceed to Gaza. I said to my husband, ” You all will be abck and be a different person”. Because expereince will make us different. Of course for a good outcome.

    Keep it up guys.

    Alhumdulillah, the border crossing went slowly but smoothly.

    Pleased to read that you see that nagative turned to positive, as we all should do (unlike some). Allah SWT works in a mysterous way, only he knows best.

    It was very generous of Algeria to provide fuel for the Convoy (they didnt need to) much appreciated.

    Thank you for the updates. May Allah reward you for the hard work. Well done, Keep it up.

    Salaam Medagan,

    The convoy set off this morning towards the city of Chlef. The will most probably spend the night there then head for Algiers in the morning. Hope that helps.
