We should also make an effort to have our imams read qunoot in Fajr salah.

I'm not sure if many people are aware, but Khalid ibn Waleed, May Allah Be Pleased With Him is buried in Homs, Syria. May Allah grant victory to the neighbours of this great Companion, just as He granted victory to him many times before.

To those of you who are following events in Syria closely, alhamdulillah, the doctor in the initial video is alive and well as is his whole medical team barring one person, if I am not mistaken he was martyred, may Allah Have Mercy on him...this brave team is waiting to get back into the baba amr district 'to fulfil their purpose'...subhanAllah, it was one of the sisters from this team that was attending to the wounded when some people rushed in with a two year old child saying they had found him lying on the street, she turned around and it was her grandson...sadly, they could not do anything for him and she had to watch him die...heartbreaking. These people have suffered very personal losses, they could easily lose hope, but their strength and determination is inspiring, may Allah increase them in courage and spirit. Ameen.

But can we call the people dying as martyrs?

In what sense? Are you asking in a technical sense? Or are you questioning their faith? Let's keep husn-dhan inshAllah for our brothers and sisters in Islam, who are aiding in the in the best way they can, indeed tending the wounded is a great role in the path of Allah is it not?

Massacre in Syria today.

According to another website 94 people killed, 40+ of them in Homs alone. Most of them women and children killed in horrific ways.

it,s just that anyone killed in the muslim world is described as a martyr even if they were killed by a muslim or non muslim.

The syrian army is killing its own people from who they came from, so i cant see how we can diferentiate between the two sides. If people of Homs had the power they would go around killing the other side too, would they be martyrs too.

the syrian army is fighting for taghut...they are fighting for the false God called bathism...arab nationalism...secularism....nasirisim....and every other ism and scism except islam. The Syrian people on the other hand are fighting for religious freedom, for freedom from slavery and giving jizya and being subservient to the dogs called alawis. The noble Syrian people and the army of taghut cannot be compared.
