The UK's Home Secretary seems to focus on Muslims an awful lot.
From writing in the Mail on Sunday to making a speech in Washington, these public statements play to a certain base of supporters who are in an echo chamber of Islamophobic views.
This time, the UK's press regulator has ruled her article was 'significantly misleading'.

The Adhan (call to prayer) and the role of the Mu'addhin (the one who performs the Adhan) hold deep significance in our tradition.
It is a sound that unifies Muslims globally, from the bustling city of Jakarta to the serene landscape of rural Turkey. It is one of the few religious practices that physically resonate in public spaces around the world.
The words of the Adhan encapsulate the essence of our faith, calling out the Oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ. This serves not only as a call to prayer but also as a constant reminder of the core tenets of Islamic belief.
The role of the Mu'addhin is highly respected and is open to people regardless of social status. Bilal ibn Rabah was the first Mu'addhin: a freed African slave, may Allah be pleased with him. His appointment to this elevated position smashed social hierarchies and demonstrated the principles of equality and social justice.

A Muslim has died after being beating in India.
This is the latest episode of violence in an increasingly intolerant India where the Hindutva supremacist ideology has permeated the ruling government.
May Allah have mercy on him.

This poignant quote holds invaluable lessons that instil genuineness and purity in our relationship with our Creator.
1. Sincerity: Embrace sincerity as a core principle, seeking only Allah's pleasure through all actions and statements. When sincerity becomes the focal point of a servant's life, it gives birth to a pure and genuine relationship (with Allah).
2. Internalisation: Focus on experiencing day-to-day acts of worship as opposed to carrying them out in a mundane manner. This ensures alignment between the servant's public and private life, nurturing the heart for a pure and genuine connection with Allah.

Some people are critical of Palestinians resisting, but here are some simple truths:
We’re not there.
We haven’t been subjugated in “the world’s largest concentration camp” for three generations.
We haven’t been given the choice to either die on our feet or live on our knees.
They have their mashāikh. They have their fuqahā. They have their reasons for action and inaction; for war and for ceasefire.
While we don’t have to agree with everything everyone does, we don’t have to comment against someone whose reality we don’t fully know.
It's important to learn the history of the issue prior to forming an opinion.
Palestine is a frontline of the entire Ummah and Palestinians are in our prayers.
Allah give them victory over their oppressors, and give all the oppressed Muslims the same — whether they are in Kashmir, East Turkestan, India, Syria, Myanmar, Yemen, or anywhere else in the world.

A message from Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad at this evening’s protest in front of the Israeli Embassy in London urging Muslims and Imams to take action.
May Allah protect the Muslims of Palestine from Israel’s attacks.

🔍 BBC states Israelis 'have been killed' and Palestinians 'have died.' Let's not gloss over the agency and responsibility in this phrasing.
Killing implies action, whereas dying could be from natural causes.
Human lives lost deserve a consistent level of journalistic integrity.

What Should Muslims in the UK Do about Gaza, with Shaykh Haitham al-Haddad
Shaykh Haitham al-Haddad relays a critical message from Muslims in Gaza to the Muslims in the UK. With the conflict being globalised and Islamophobic media organisations wholeheartedly promoting the Zionist narrative, the moment to stand and step forward…
A profound quote.
One that challenges the conventional narrative and compels us to reassess not only the ongoing atrocities in Gaza but also the larger Muslim world's stance toward Zionism and Israel.
The quote speaks to a transition of perception, one that evolves from a localised understanding of occupation — the idea that "Muslim lands were free except Gaza" — to a far more expansive, metaphorical, and even controversial conception that "Muslim lands were occupied except Gaza."
The quote reflects a widely recognised historical grievance: the Israeli occupation of Gaza. The hardships in Gaza are well-documented and resonate deeply with the Ummah, serving as a symbol of resistance against neocolonialism, dispossession, and violation of human rights and international law.
The latter part of the quote, however, is where the paradigm-shift is expressed. The suggestion that "they occupied Muslim lands except Gaza" demands introspection. On one level, this could denote the normalisation of relations between Israel and various Muslim states, viewed as a form of capitulation or acceptance of Zionist agendas. The Abraham Accords and similar agreements have been contentious, undermining Palestinian struggles for self-determination by sidelining the issue in favour of geopolitical and economic alliances with Israel.
The quote can also be interpreted as a commentary on the ideological "occupation" — how Zionism as a political ideology has influenced policy decisions and power structures within Muslim lands. This argues that Muslim leaders are compromising Islamic values and Palestinian rights to maintain power, perhaps due to reliance on Western support, thereby allowing Zionism to "occupy" their decision-making.
The quote exempts Gaza from this "occupancy," highlighting the region's ongoing resistance and refusal to normalise relations with Israel, despite the immense socio-economic costs.
It stands as a bastion of defiance.

The echoes of protests for Gaza ripple across the globe, but do they hold the power to effect change? Amidst the devastation inflicted upon Gaza, the potency of public outcry remains a beacon of hope.
Here's how taking to the streets can indeed tilt the scales:
1. Awakening the Global Conscience: Protests jolt the world awake, casting a stark light on Gaza's realities often veiled by political fog and media misinformation. They're not just rallies but a kind of education, explaining and unraveling nuanced narratives that reach public forums and enter private conversations alike.
2. Unity in Defiance: More than expressions of dissent, protests are threads weaving a tapestry of solidarity. They're a united call resonating across oceans, assuring Palestinians they're not just a cause but a shared heartbeat, their voices amplified in unison with thousands of others.
3. Diplomacy Under Duress: Collective dissent transcends slogans, reaching the halls of power. It's a global chorus demanding action, capable of nudging powers that be, shaking the status quo, and potentially charting paths towards a change seldom considered before.
4. Beyond Numbers: Faces of Conflict: Protests paint the human face behind grim statistics. They're storytellers, narrating tales of lives, dreams, and sorrows, reminding the world that the conflict bleeds beyond territorial lines, into homes and hearts in Gaza.
5. Justice's Domino Effect: Gaza-focused protests don't stand alone; they're catalysts. They can ignite wider movements, fanning flames of global advocacy for human rights, emboldening international law, and knitting diverse causes into a shared mantle of justice.
In essence, protests are far from futile. They're catalysts, consciousness-raisers, and connectors — a triad that, when combined with sustained political and humanitarian efforts, holds the promise of steering the narrative towards a horizon of hope, justice, and lasting peace.

Words from figures like European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen carry significant weight.
Her condemnation of "targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure" to deprive people of essentials, branding them as "terror," sets a standard. This standard, though aimed at Russia, invites scrutiny of similar scenarios globally, including Gaza.
Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant's strategy for Gaza mirrors these conditions. He asserted a total siege, cutting off electricity, food, water, and gas, stating, "We're fighting animals..." This starkly aligns with what von der Leyen labelled terror.
Von der Leyen's standard, if universally applied, brands the actions of Israel as terror. Global leaders and institutions must be consistent in their principles, without geopolitical bias.
