“Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth?”

But the judgment leaves a number of serious questions unanswered.

My message to Muslim parents is, we must no longer believe we are second-class citizens, no matter how much sections of British society seek to portray you as a fifth column, seeking to infiltrate public institutions, conspiring against “British values”.
The mother and daughter who brought the case against Michaela School's discriminatory prayer ban showed resilience and bravery. They ought to be commended and supported.
Far too many parents withdraw from difficult challenges for want of an easy life. This Muslim mother didn’t. May Allah (subḥānahu wa ta’āla) reward her for taking a stand.

Instead of blaming the Gazans for causing death by applying the biological, moral, and societal imperative of armed resistance to genocide, blame them for desiring to live dignified lives. Blame them for refusing to lick the boots of their oppressors.
Blame them for wanting to live like lions. The lion, although arguably the most ferocious animal, has no predator! While the innocuous and docile sheep enjoys being the prey to almost everything else.
If you choose to lower your head before a genocidal entity, prepare to lose it. Gaza has chosen to resist.

The three-way meeting held between the Turkish and Egyptian Foreign Ministers, Turkish President Erdoğan, and Palestine's Ismail Haniyeh, is a step in the right direction.
However, more Muslim countries should be taking on the responsibility to support an end to 200+ days of genocidal destruction at the hands of the apartheid state.

Palestine has surely taught us the real meaning of freedom, especially as it remains free despite being oppressed.
And there’s nothing more infuriating to an oppressor than witnessing their oppressed embody and express liberation and independence from them.
