A 27-year-old Somali-American man, Ebro Ahmed, risked his own life to save nearly 20 children after a school bus began rolling down a Minnesota street while its driver suffered a medical emergency. He climbed aboard and pulled the emergency brake, preventing what could have ended in tragedy. Thankfully, no children were injured.
His actions deserve to be celebrated, especially at a time when Somalis in America are so often portrayed negatively in the media.
Somalis should not be defined by stereotypes or negative headlines. Ebro's courage is a reminder that humanity, compassion and bravery transcend backgrounds. ❤️🇸🇴

🏀 NBA star Kyrie Irving has offered to pay the $11,941 fine imposed on NFL linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair after he honoured a Palestinian girl killed in Gaza by writing her name on his eye black.
Asked about his offer, Irving described Al-Shaair as a brother and praised him for standing up for people whose voices are often unheard.
“It's a selfless act when you can show up for others that don't necessarily have a voice for themselves,” Irving said.
He also reflected on how people in America can go to sleep in comfort while innocent people, especially children, are losing their lives around the world.
Two athletes using their platforms to remember Palestinian children and remind the world that their lives must never be forgotten. 🇵🇸❤️

Whoever is mindful of Allāh, He will make a way out for them, and provide for them from sources they could never imagine. And whoever puts their trust in Allāh, then He alone is sufficient for them.

Lewis Hamilton ended his interview at the US Grand Prix press conference, while discussing F1’s planned return to Africa:
“I think we need to make sure we’re pushing to free Congo, free Sudan, free Syria, free Palestine. I think there’s a lot of peace that I’m hoping that at some stage we get to.” 🕊️

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 anta,, khalaqtanī wa-anā ʿabduka, wa-anā ʿalā ʿahdika wa-waʿdika mā’istaṭaʿtu, aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ṣanaʿtu 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.

Give ṣadaqah, make duʿāʾ, and place your trust in Allāh. You never know what blessings He has written for you.🤲
Say, “Surely it is my Lord Who gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills of His servants. And whatever you spend in charity, He will compensate you for it. For He is the Best Provider.”

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.

Isr*el killed 8 year-old Fatima Hisham al-Bayook, the last surviving member of her family. 💔
Fatima succumbed to her injuries after being struck by gunfire east of Deir al-Balah, Gaza, just days ago. Despite desperate pleas for her urgent medical evacuation in the hope of saving her life, she could not be saved.
Her mother and two younger siblings had already been killed in an Isr*eli strike on 13 December 2023. Her siblings were Leen, a baby less than a year old, and Asaad, just three years old.
Fatima was all that remained of her family. Now, she is gone too.
A mother. Three children. An entire family erased from one another’s lives. An 8 year-old girl who had already lost everyone she loved, and whose own life has now been taken.

Narrated by Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said,
"The reward of the prayer offered by a person in congregation is twenty five times greater than that of the prayer offered in one's house or in the market (alone).
And this is because if he performs ablution and does it perfectly and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of praying, then for every step he takes towards the mosque, he is upgraded one degree in reward and his one sin is taken off (crossed out) from his accounts (of deeds).
When he offers his prayer, the angels keep on asking Allāh's Blessings and Allāh's forgiveness for him as long as he is (staying) at his Musalla.
They say, 'O Allāh! Bestow Your blessings upon him, be Merciful and kind to him.'
And one is regarded in prayer as long as one is waiting for the prayer."

Saudi Arabia has intercepted a Houthi missile reportedly heading towards the Makkah region, with the interception taking place approximately 21 kilometres from Masjid al-Ḥarām, home to the Kaʿbah, the holiest site in Islam. 💔
The incident has raised serious concerns among Muslims worldwide, given the proximity to the sacred city where millions of Muslims gather for Ḥajj and ʿUmrah.
Makkah and the Kaʿbah hold a unique place in the hearts of Muslims across the world. Any threat near the holy sanctuary is deeply distressing for the Ummah.
