Türkish footballer Mesut Özil explained how his career at Arsenal FC ended because he posted about the Uyghur genocide.

At the Malaysia-Turkiye Leadership Summit, Özil revealed how his social media post in December 2019 condemning China's treatment of Uyghurs led to eight months without first-team action and his eventual exit.

"As a star, I had a voice, and I knew I had to speak out on certain things. If I posted, I knew I would get in trouble with Arsenal. But I didn't care, I posted it and I was happy."

"So they closed the door on me. They didn't let me play anymore." "It was difficult, because I was enjoying playing football and they just took it away from me. I thank God that I had my wife and kids with me."

Whilst they lie to the world that there is a ceasefire, the occupation forces killed Ibrahim Saqr, a paramedic in Gaza, after targeting him in a drone strike.

💫 Sayyid al-Istighfār: The Best Prayer for Seeking Forgiveness

Narrated Shaddād ibn Aws رضي الله عنه: The Prophet (ﷺ) said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allāh is:

اللهم أنت ربي، لا إله إلا أنت ، خلقتني وأنا عبدك، وأنا على عهدك ووعدك ما استطعت أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت أبوء لك بنعمتك علي، وأبوء بذنبي، فاغفر لي فإنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت

The Prophet (ﷺ) added. "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."

[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6306]

Transliteration: Allāhumma anta rabbī, lā ilāha illā ant, khalaqtanī wa-anā ʿabduk, wa-anā ʿalā ʿahdika wa-waʿdika mā’istaṭaʿt, aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ṣanaʿt, abūʾu laka bi-niʿmatika ʿalayy, wa-abūʾu laka bidhanbī, fa’ighfir lī, fa-innahu lā yaghfir al-dhunūba illā ant.

Translation: O Allāh, You are my Lord, there is no God but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I abide by Your covenant and promise (to honour it) as best as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil that I have committed. I acknowledge Your favor upon me, and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for surely none can forgive sins but You.

Narrated Abū Masʿūd al-Anṣārī: The Prophet ﷺ said,
"If one recites the last two verses of Sūrah al-Baqarah at night, it is sufficient for him (for that night)."

[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5040]

آمن الرسول بما أنزل إليه من ربه والمؤمنون كل آمن بالله وملائكته وكتبه ورسله لا نفرق بين أحد من رسله وقالوا سمعنا وأطعنا غفرانك ربنا وإليك المصير

[Āmana rasūlu bimā unzila ilayhi min rabbihi wal-mu’minūn Kullun āmana bil-lahi wamalāikatihi wakutubihi warusulihi lā nufarriqu bayna aḥadin-min rusulihi Waqālū samiʿ'nā wa-aṭaʿnā ghuf'rānaka rabbanā wa-ilayka l-maṣīr]

The Messenger firmly believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. They all believe in Allāh, His angels, His Books, and His messengers. They proclaim, “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our Lord! And to You alone is the final return.”

لا يكلف الله نفسا إلا وسعها لها ما كسبت وعليها ما اكتسبت ربنا لا تؤاخذنا إن نسينا أو أخطأنا ربنا ولا تحمل علينا إصرا كما حملته على الذين من قبلنا ربنا ولا تحملنا ما لا طاقة لنا به واعف عنا واغفر لنا وارحمنا أنت مولانا فانصرنا على القوم الكافرين

[Lā yukalliful-lahu nafsan illā wusʿahā Lahā mā kasabat waʿalayhā mā ik'tasabat Rabbanā lā tuākhiḏhnā in-nasīnā aw akhṭanā Rabbanā walā taḥmil ʿalaynā iṣran kamā ḥamaltahu ʿalā-allaḏhīna min qablinā Rabbanā walā tuḥammilnā mā lā ṭāqata lanā bih wa-uʿfu ʿannā wa-gh'fir lanā wa-rḥamnā Anta mawlānā fa-unṣurnā ʿalā l-qawmi l-kāfirīn]

Allāh does not burden any soul with more than it can bear. All good will be for its own benefit, and all evil will be to its own loss. The believers pray, “Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord! Do not place a burden on us like the one you placed on those before us. Our Lord! Do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our only Guardian. So grant us victory over the disbelieving people.”
