The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “By Allah, he is not a believer! By Allah, he is not a believer! By Allah, he is not a believer.” It was asked, “Who is that, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, "One whose neighbour does not feel safe from his evil.” (Bukhari)

Hajj: A Fresh Start

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever performs ḥajj for Allah’s sake and does not engage in intimate relations or sin, will return (from ḥajj) like the day his mother gave birth to him.” (Bukhārī)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever says the above in the morning, Allah will forgive the sins he commits in that day; and whoever says it in the evening, Allah will forgive the sins he commits in that night.” (Abū Dāwūd)

In this duʿā’, we do not ask Allah for anything directly. Rather, we affirm the first pillar of Islam, which is the testimony of faith. This points to the importance of constantly repeating this testimony.

In the dungeons of oppression, they resist with dhikr & salawāt. Despite not being allowed to speak, imprisoned Palestinians stay strong by remembering Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.

"This is the target bank of Netanyahu"

A Palestinian father got shocked by the loss of his child in an Israeli airstrike, carried out with U.S. support, while the child was asleep in the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

A Palestinian man breaks his silence, condemning the global inaction as Gaza's people face relentless massacres by Israeli forces. He denounces the failure to halt the genocide, following an airstrike that targeted a school sheltering displaced families in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of eastern Gaza Strip.

The soil of this blessed land has been mixed with the sacred blood of countless martyrs. Many decisive battles took place in Palestine where thousands of Muslims sacrificed themselves in the defence of the al-Aqṣā Sanctuary & for the sake of Allah. #Palestine #Gaza

A Madrasah teacher and his students reacted to an earthquake in Istanbul by performing Sajdah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Remember death in your ṣalāh because when an individual remembers death in his ṣalāh, he is more likely to perfect his ṣalāh. And pray the ṣalāh of an individual who thinks he is not going to be able to perform another prayer.” (Daylamī)

Public opinion?

Across all societies, public opinion carries tremendous weight. When tyrannical systems lose it, they panic and turn to brutality.

When Prophet Ibrahim’s (Abraham) community wanted to make an example of him, they declared:

فَأْتُوا بِهِ عَلَى أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ

"Bring him before the eyes of the people so they may bear witness." (Qur’an 21:61)

They went into the open to control the narrative. But when they lost public opinion, they turned to brutality, and launched Ibrahim into the fire.

Likewise, when Pharaoh sought to undermine Prophet Musa (Moses), he too played the public card. He gathered the media and announced:

مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ الزِّينَةِ وَأَنْ يُحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًى

"Your appointment is on the Day of Adornment, and let the people be assembled at mid-morning." (Qur’an 20:59)

Again, the aim was to sway the masses. But when public opinion turned on him, he turned to brutality.

Today, Palestine has won the hearts of the public across the globe. And true to the pattern of tyrants past, this shift in public opinion explains much of the brutality now unleashed—not only on Palestinians, but on all those who dare to stand by them.

To be targeted by tyranny therefore is not a sign of defeat, but an admission from the tyrant that you’re winning.

Focus on Quality Over Quantity

In a world that measures success by numbers, Islam reminds us to focus on quality. Allah ﷻ says: “He is the One who created death and life in order to test which of you is best in deeds…” (67:2).

Notice how the āyah mentions “best in deeds” and not “most in deeds”. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Indeed Allah loves that when one of you does something, he perfects it” (Ṭabarānī).

Therefore, your focus should be on the quality of your ḥajj—your sincerity, your presence of heart, your humility and utter dependence on Him.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The best of your days is Jumu‘ah. On this day Ādam (‘alayhis-salām) was created; on this day he died; on this day the Trumpet will be blown; and on this day the creation will fall down and die. So send abundant blessings upon me, for your blessings will be presented to me.” They asked: “O Messenger of Allah, how will our blessings upon you be presented to you when you have turned to dust?” He replied: “Allah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets.” (Abū Dāwūd)

Ṣalla Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam.

In Gaza City, Israeli warplanes bombed a residential building, tearing innocent Palestinian children from their homes and hurling them onto rooftops—another heinous act in a relentless, brutal oppression.

Continue to remember the people of Palestine, Gaza, Masjid Al-Aqsā, and the rest of the Ummah in your du’ās on this blessed day of Jumu’ah.

O Allah, hasten relief and victory for the people of Gaza.

O Allah, cleanse and protect al-Masjid Al-Aqsā from envy and the evil of enemies.

O Allah, foil the plots of the oppressors and seize them with Your Mighty grasp.

So many unanswered questions

By the time he had reached adulthood, it’s likely that Prophet Musa (Moses) was asking himself many of the same unanswered questions that some of us ask today in light of the horrors unfolding in Gaza.

“Why am I going through all of this?”

“Why was I born with a death warrant to my name?”

“Why were so many babies my age systematically killed by the regime?”

“Why was I, as a baby, separated from my mother’s arms, having placed me in a casket and cast me into the Nile?”

“Why was I raised in the palace of a tyrant?”

“Why did I end up accidentally taking a man’s life in Egypt?”

“Why did I have to become a fugitive, fearing for my life, again?”

“Why did I endure hunger, fatigue, and total uncertainty along the way?”

“Why was I always helping others while no one helped me?”

“Why did I have to work tirelessly for ten straight years just to get married?”

“Why did my wife and I wander the desert, not knowing where we were headed?”

"When will all of this stop?"

“Why has my life been so hard?”

No doubt, just before he was chosen as prophet, much of his life simply made no sense to him. But now, standing in the sacred valley of Ṭuwā, staring into the heavens and hearing the Majestic voice of Allah call him by name—Musa finally understood.

Suddenly, it all made perfect sense, as he heard Allah say:

وَاصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِي

“And I have prepared you for Myself.” (Qur’an 20:41)

There, in Palestine, you are witnessing a preparation.

All questions will be answered in due time, as they were for Musa.
