We won't know how many have truly lost their lives in Gaza for a probably a week if not longer. What we do know from history is that the life of an Arab Palestinian is not worth very much. One statistician claims that 1 Israeli life is worth 450 Arab and Palestinians. during this last war it came out to be 1 Israeli life for 100 Gazans. In just 21 days we know that at least 1300 Muslims in Palestine are dead.
It's a sad day for all who can reflect on our brothers and sisters lost lives. But as Maulana Jelaluddin Balkhi Rumi said that the day that we pass from this dunya is really our wedding day to Allah swt. It's our return to the real life. This concept is the only relief that one can take when contemplating the major loss of life. By that knowledge of an awliya we can take that when we pass we are going somewhere better and for those left behind, knowledge that the one who passed is celebrating with the Creator.
