....I believe they had no choice.....

I submit they made a terribly horrible choice..... burn in agony or jump.

[Bobby777]

yes, that's what I meant, too ...

The Hadith Volume 2, Book 26, Number 595: Narrated 'Aisha:

(the mother of the faithful believers) I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We consider Jihad as the best deed." The Prophet said, "The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj Mabrur. "

The Hadith Volume 2, Book 26, Number 594: Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet was asked, "Which is the best deed?" He said, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle." He was then asked, "Which is the next (in goodness)?" He said, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause." He was then asked, "Which is the next?" He said, "To perform Hajj-Mabrur. "

I submit they made a terribly horrible choice..... burn in agony or jump.

I submit they put their lives in God's hands, and made the decision to do what we all will, in the end.

I have two phobias....Fear of burning alive. And fear of heights.

I don't know which I would choose if faced with that decision.
