LGBTQ Muslims Call for Permanent Ceasefire in Front of Stonewall

One-hundred LGBTQ Muslims gathered for a jummah prayer for Palestine in front of the Stonewall National Monument on Friday to demonstrate that there is “no pride in genocide.” “Queer Muslim New Yorkers are rising up in solidarity with Palestinians, and through a queer Muslim-led interfaith prayer, they will stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people who are facing genocide, starvation, and ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Israeli government backed by the United States,” organizers said in a statement. “Queer communities face historical discrimination, prejudice, violence, criminalization, lack of proper healthcare and/or gender affirming care, and more — and here in the U.S. queer activists have been rising up against increased LGBTQ+ attacks, yet their struggles are being exploited in a dangerous narrative war to suggest that there would be no place for queer people in Palestine,”

The Essence of Islamic Prayers: A Spiritual Connection with TarteeleQuran

Islamic prayers are important because they link people to God. Salah, the foundation of Muslim devotion, symbolizes obedience, humility, and thanks. A unique meditation experience is created by rhythmic Quranic passages and physical postures including standing, kneeling, and prostrating. TarteeleQuran helps Muslims internalize the spiritual essence of Salah and make each Salah meaningful and transforming. TarteeleQuran transforms Islamic prayers into soul-transforming journeys.

 وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ (8) 

And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ (9)

And they who carefully maintain their prayers -

 أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ (10)

Those are the inheritors

الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ (11)

Who will inherit al-Firdaus. They will abide therein eternally.
