🚨 The Swiss 'Burqa Ban' came in to effect starting 1st January 2025.
Anyone wearing the 'Burqa' in public faces a fine of 1,000 Swiss Francs ($1,100 USD).
In 2021, Swiss people narrowly voted in favour of banning face coverings in public, including the burka and niqab worn by Muslim women. Results showed the measure had passed by 51.2% to 48.8% in a referendum.
The measure involves a prohibition on covering the nose, mouth, and eyes in both public spaces and private buildings accessible to the public. However, there are some exceptions.
The ban does not apply to planes or in diplomatic and consular premises, and faces may also be covered in places of worship and other sacred sites.
Facial coverings will remain permitted for reasons relating to health and safety, for native customs, or due to weather conditions, it said. They would also be allowed on artistic and entertainment grounds and for advertising.

The US Department of State has informed Congress about an $8 billion arms sale to Israel, pending approval from House and Senate committees.
The proposed package includes missiles, artillery shells, and other munitions. The announcement comes a little over two weeks before President Joe Biden is set to leave office. Washington has dismissed calls to halt military aid to Israel despite concerns over the civilian casualties during the Gaza conflict.
In August, the US authorized a $20 billion sale of fighter jets and other military hardware to Israel.
The latest package reportedly includes air-to-air missiles, Hellfire missiles, artillery shells, and bombs, according to a US official. President Biden has consistently described US support for Israel as unwavering.

Reminder: Tomorrow is Monday. The Prophet ﷺ used to fast on Mondays.
Abū Qatāda al-Anṣārī رضي الله عنه reported that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said:
It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me.

A video circulating online has sparked outrage in Dubai, showing a woman wearing a burqa dining with her partner. The controversy arises not just from the filming itself but also from alleged mocking comments heard in the background, seemingly made by the person recording. Though the exact conversation is unclear, the video has triggered widespread anger.
Social media users have condemned the act, tagging Dubai Police and demanding strict action against those involved. Filming individuals, particularly local women, without their consent is illegal in the UAE and carries harsh penalties.
The video quickly gained traction online, prompting a response from Dubai Police. In Arabic, they stated:
"May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Please note that the matter has been referred to the relevant authority. Thank you for contacting us."

Narrated by Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "There is a compulsory Ṣadaqah (charity) to be given for every joint of the human body (as a sign of gratitude to Allāh) everyday the sun rises. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as Ṣadaqah, and to help a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to it, is also regarded as Ṣadaqah, and (saying) a good word is also Ṣadaqah, and every step taken on one's way to offer the compulsory prayer (in the mosque) is also Ṣadaqah and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also Ṣadaqah."

Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani citizen with a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, has been held in U.S. custody for nearly two decades, sentenced to 86 years in prison for an incident widely believed to be based on false allegations.
Her case is one of the tragic remnants of the "War on Terror," a period marked by injustices that continue to strain U.S. relations with the global Muslim community.
On March 30, 2003, Dr. Siddiqui was sold to the CIA for a bounty and taken into U.S. custody under the suspicion of terrorism. During her capture, her youngest child, Suleman, just six months old, was reportedly dropped on his head and killed. Her two other children—both U.S. citizens—were also taken from her. Maryam, then three years old, was forcibly adopted into a family in Afghanistan and renamed Fatima, while her son Ahmed, six years old, was imprisoned. Both children were held in captivity for seven and five years respectively, suffering immense trauma before being rescued.
Meanwhile, Dr. Siddiqui was taken to Bagram Air Force Base, where she was tortured for five years. What followed is a nightmare of injustice: she was tried in the U.S. for allegedly attempting to harm U.S. personnel, despite being the only one shot (twice) during the incident in Ghazni, Afghanistan. Her harsh 86-year sentence stands in stark contrast to the countless other injustices of the War on Terror, where far greater harm has gone unpunished.
In addition to the torture she endured at Bagram, Dr. Siddiqui has been subjected to further abuse during her imprisonment at FMC Carswell, where she has been held in Administrative Segregation for 14 years—longer than any other woman in the U.S. federal system. Her time in isolation has been marked by reports of sexual abuse and rape within the prison. These claims are further supported by the fact that 13 employees have been convicted of sexual abuse at Carswell.
