Haven't heard from family in days. I feel like it's time to accept they're gone. I know in my heart Palestine will, one day, be free, but it wasn't supposed to be like this.
We feared another Nakba, and it happened. 700,000 pushed out of their homes in 1948 to 1 million being forced to leave their homes in 2023.
We thought it couldn't get worse or more deadly than the Israeli invasion in 2014, and it happened. We lost 2,251 people in 50 days then. Now we're past 2,300 in one week.
What I heard most from my grandmother the first days it's that "this time is different". And I feel like a rock is crushing my heart in pieces because i've been hoping that speaking out, teaching people about the historical oppresion of Palestine would help but it's not helping. Nothing is changing.
I feel like I'm screaming into a void. There's some sympathy from people online, until I see content documenting Palestinian oppresion being flagged as 'hate speech' or check the comments of any updates on Gaza and it's: "blame it on hamas", "tell them to give up hamas", "the hamas asked for it". They're not even among civilians!!!!!
My heart feels full seeing the manifestations in favor of Palestine, then I see police forces breaking protests apart and remember that the people that can actually save Gaza don't care.
If there's nothing left to do but to watch the extermination of my people, then I'm going to beg for anyone reading this to please don't forget. Please.
Israel is hiding behind Judaism to commit genocide against Gaza. Netanyahu supported the Hamas militant group to prevent the establishment of the Palestine State, and now he's using them to justify his agenda of ethnic cleansing. He abandoned Israelis and left them to die because he cares more about seeing Gazans dead!
Every single person and institution supporting and financing Israel is complicit. I hope the deaths of every Palestinian haunts you for the rest of your lives and that you never find an ounce of forgiveness, for you do not deserve it.
Just as in the Iraq War, the US government is financing and cheering for the slaughter of millions of innocent Arab lives. The media is complicit by engaging in biased propaganda and other nuclear powers, such as the UK and Germany, are complicit too. You are fascists and war criminals and every drop of Palestinian blood is in your hands. I hope every single day, for the rest of your lives, you look in the mirror and see nothing but the blood you've helped spill.
This serves as yet another proof that not a single Western in a position of power, be it in the media or in government, sees Arabs as humans beings.
For decades, the US has comitted terrorism and crimes against humanity in the Middle East and has NEVER been held accountable. Over one million in Iraq; over 150,000 in Afghanistan; and now they'll turn Gaza into a graveyard. Punishing selected soldiers over the years does not erase the fact that the American military and its government validates their crimes during execution and are never punished for it.
Please never forget: Joe Biden is a genocidal terrorist, Rishi Sunak is a genocidal terrorist, the American Democrat Party and UK's Labour Party are led by genocidal terrorists, the European Union is led by genocidal terrorists, fuckass Walt Disney Company is led by genocidal terrorists; every celebrity that called for Palestinian death or stood by silently while ignoring our suffering is a genocidal terrorist.
May Allah protect the people in Palestine and grant the martyrs the highest level of Jannah. Wallah what keeps me here is knowing that the Akhirah is theirs. May Almighty Allah grant us imaan and Taqwa as high as the people of Gaza. Ameen.

Saw you took specific requests. Here's mine:
Jamil with a religious reader who gives him a protection talisman.
Fun fact, prayer beads are used in multiple religions as they help count prayers (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc).
So let's say reader comes from a world where magic exists but it's exclusively on religious grounds. Meaning if you wanna do magic you gotta pray to the right god or make a deal with some form of mythological creature.
Reader knows that Jamil's is always in danger due to the constant assassination attempts on Kalim, so they make a set of prayer beads and ask a diety to bless it in order to protect their boyfriend (could be Allah, Indra, Shiva, Buddha, Susanoo, whichever). Jamil accepts it and heads back home appreciating the sentiment but not really believing.
Except any form of danger keeps getting thwarted. Drink/food he's trying is poisoned? Conveniently spills over/has a whole in the bottom. Accident happens? Conveniently pushed out of the way. Someone tries to hurt him/kill him? Struck by lightning and straight up dies.
Not even his own parents are safe. They try to slap him to "discipline him" then they get zapped (lightly tho).
you know!!! I love this prompt so much... I'm a religious studies major so this kinda stuff is so ^w^ to me I get so excited.
Tumblr media
summary: giving jamil a protection spell type of post: short fic characters: jamil additional info: reader is gender neutral, the existence of religious beliefs in twst is. confusing. so we're keeping it vague, not proofread, reader is yuu
Tumblr media
Perhaps it was because your world was still considered "magicless" by Twisted Wonderland standards, or perhaps Jamil was never superstitious to begin with.
Either way, he wasn't exactly as excited as you'd been hoping for.
"It's nice. Did you make it yourself?" he asks, inspecting the beads. "A bracelet?"
"Prayer beads, actually. And yes, I did,"
"It's well made. What's the purpose?"
You hesitate. The nature of religion in this world is still confusing to you, although you can surmise there's got to be some kind of belief system. It's best not touching on for now.
Besides, Jamil has never been much of a believer in higher powers. For good reason.
"For protection," you explain. "Not that I think you can't handle yourself. But I worry about you over break, you know..."
He's quiet for a moment, inspecting the gift in the palm of his hand. And then he tucks the beads away in his pocket and smiles.
"I'll keep them with me, then. Thank you,"
Even if he's not exactly keen on the idea that these things will make his life any less terrible, they're from you.
And so he keeps his promise, and tucks them away after you part.
By the time he's "home" (back in Kalim's family home) he's all but forgotten about the little blessing at the bottom of his pocket. Not that you can really blame him- "vacation" is more of a title than a reality when he's back.
The first incident happens not even a day after.
The al-Asim summer mansion is certainly nothing to scoff at. Though it's only one of many, this one in particular houses a large sum of physical treasures, line with gold and ivory, stuffed full of spices and all the makings of a feast that could feed thousands, a shining jewel of the desert.
Jamil is not all that impressed.
Especially when it comes to navigating such an ornate building on orders. The polished-to-perfection floors present a challenge when you're carrying three crates worth of grain to the kitchen on the lowest floor.
Damn these stairs.
Though Jamil may not be a religious man, he still asks whatever deity may be up there to smite the slippery spiral staircase he's descending.
His arms strain to uphold the weight of the boxes, and his legs strain to keep a good footing on one of the many long and elaborate and narrow servant passages designed specifically so that the unwanted workers of the family can slip by undetected.
Quiet, diligent, and he has to be quick, too. Kalim is expecting him for a game in one of the many lounges soon.
Another unfortunate "vacation". How he'd much rather be spending it with you...
For a brief moment, Jamil swears he can feel the beads in his pocket warm against him, reminding him of their presence.
And then he slips.
The crates free themselves from his careful grasp and tumble down the stairs, creaking and thudding but mercifully staying intact.
Jamil, however, isn't made of wood. He winces as he feels himself tilting forward- and then... somehow, a strong draft pushes him on his back.
He lands just shy of his tailbone, luckily not hurting anything, except for his pride.
What a turn of luck.
The next happens at dinner.
Jamil keeps his earlier blunder to himself. His pride is damaged enough as it is, after all, and so he tries his best to conceal how shaken up the experience left him by moving swiftly across the kitchen.
"We have a dish ready for you to test," someone shouts.
He sighs. How many more evenings of this will he have to endure?
Though, he reminds himself- this may always be his last.
The thought makes Jamil chuckle as he's handed a hot dish and a clean fork. He can only stop to smell the roses for so long, so there's no chance of savoring such an exquisitely prepared meal before he's off to another part of the kitchen.
Just as the fork digs into the food, the dish slips out of his hand and shatters on the kitchen floor. Everyone falls silent.
His eyes widen. "How- ugh. My apologies,"
Now this is just getting ridiculous. How clumsy can he get in one evening? He's usually much more careful...
"Look," the head chef says, the whole kitchen crowding around the food as it dissolves.
Jamil's stomach lurches. Cyanide. It has to be. If he'd eaten that dish right there and then...
The kitchen is swiftly cleared out, and he's sent back to the lounge.
it only gets stranger from there.
What Jamil initially wrote off as clumsiness and luck seems to become a pattern-
a flying arrow at the archery range just narrowly misses him when he bends down to fix his sandal.
The al-Asim family tiger (because of course they have one) chooses to toy with a visiting prince rather than him in the courtyard.
A strong draft pushes him on his rear end seconds before a sandbag falls from an under-construction part of the mansion.
He would call it fortune if he believed in such a thing.
By the end of the vacation, everyone is absolutely perplexed by his string of good luck. Jamil isn't unfamiliar with how dangerous his family's position in life is, and he's had his fair share of injuries as a result, but this time all he has to show for it is a slightly lesser sense of annoyance than usual.
It's only the end of the trip where he ponders (unfortunately aloud) about the string of coincidences, and the beads in his pocket.
Kalim goes on to babble about Jamil's "good luck charm" to anyone who will listen, much to his annoyance.
"Oh, I want one too! Can you ask them to make me one, too?" he says, folding his hands in a pleading motion. "It's so pretty!"
"It was a gift. But... I suppose I can ask..." he sighs, and then smiles to himself.
Of course you'll come up with some excuse to say no. Because, for once, this charm is all his.

i’ve been missing for a month and don’t worry i’ll be back soon but i have some things to get off my chest about what’s happening in the world right now.
palestine has been the victim of israel’s cruel and inhumane doing for 75 years. they got kicked out of their houses, k*lled, tortured, kidnapped, beaten and MORE for years and years again. never catching a break, not being able to live their lives on THEIR lands, their ancestors’s lands. they can’t live and breath without being scared of dying because of israel’s barbaric behaviour.
seeing all those celebrities and politicians chime in and openly support israel, is breaking my heart. the way some of my favourite celebrities, or just celebrities that i followed from afar support this barbaric government is just beyond me.
oh now children being massacred matter to them? where were they 75 years ago? where were they last year? where were they last month? and where were they a few days ago when palestinians finally had enough of living in fear in their own homes.
when ukraine got attacked by russia, the whole world showed support to them and sympathised with them. but when the SAME exact situation is happening in a muslim country suddenly it don’t matter?
i am so mad and sad at the same time when i read all those ignorants posts about what’s happening in palestine, all those « we stand with israel » bulls*it while palestine has been bleeding and suffering in front of the world for so many years, while the world gave up on them. can you imagine living in these conditions? constant fear, pain, grief, sorrow, it just never ends.
these people don’t give a sh*t about world’s peace or innocents lives being lost because if they really cared they’d be supporting the people being tortured for years. they post false reports and claim to « want peace for everyone » then why are you only posting for israel? because y’all are ignorants peace of garbage.
israel isn’t under attack, israel isn’t the victim, israel is the oppressor and the real victim in all of this finally had enough. may Allah protect the people of palestine, welcome our martyrs in his Heaven and help palestinians gain their well deserved freedom.
palestine will be free 🇵🇸
(if any of you support this barbaric government you can fu*k off and block me.)

what to do when you've committed a sin
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
oftentimes when committing a sin, it can be very easy to fall into a state of hopelessness, extreme guilt, shame and anxiety. The Prophet ﷺ said that "regretting (a sin) is repentance" (Sunan Ibn Majah 4252), and this shows that guilt is a good thing - a feeling that comes along with regret that drives you forward to ensure you don't commit the same sin again.
however, letting guilt and shame consume you entirely to the point where you've lost hope in Allah's Mercy and in yourself and end up sitting in a place of despair is not productive. as long as you're alive, you can still make amends and do good deeds in the hope of attaining the Pleasure of Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ .
here is a response I've already made to someone asking me how to let go of shame for past sins, but these are things you can do (in general, of course) but after making a mistake/sinning:
salat al-tawbah (the prayer of repentance) immediately this is the nawafil prayer for when one falls into sin and it is usually two raka'ats. pray this immediately after committing a sin with sincere repentance, putting that guilt into this prayer and weep and ask for forgiveness. regarding this prayer, the Prophet ﷺ has said “There is no slave of Allah who commits a sin then purifies himself well and stands and prays two rakahs, then asks Allah for forgiveness, but Allah will forgive him". (Hisn al-Muslim 140). subhanallah.
sadaqah ◦ give money to charity, create a sadaqah box if you do not already have one and put money inside to increase your good deeds over your bad ones. "Know they not that Allah is He who accepts repentance from His servants and takes their charity, and that Allah is He Who is Oft-Returning with compassion, and is Merciful?" (9:104) - Surah Taubah itself. ◦ if it is a repetitive sin, then say to yourself that every time you commit the sin, you have to put a certain fixed amount in. for example, £10 every time you do xyz and you must put it in every time. keep it at a high amount and it will help you in the future to stop, Insha'Allah.
constant dhikr ◦ i cannot even truly express in words the benefits of doing istighfar in a way that will truly sum it up. it washes away the sins of man to the point where his heart will be purified. it is so important to immerse yourself in doing istighfar day and night as it can protect you and Allah is always prepared to hear the cries of taubah from His people. not a single soul can claim that they can absolve themselves of sin on their own, as only Allah's Mercy can release a man of his sins. Prophets were well aware of this fact, so they also continually sought forgiveness of Allah. make it a plan to recite أ��سْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ (astagfirullah waatubu alaiyhi, I seek Allah's forgiveness and I turn to Him in repentance) 100 times daily ◦ i also love the app Azkar - it has morning, evening, sleep and waking up dhikr's that you can just recite while reading them on your phone that has the arabic, transliteration and translation. it is so easy for anyone to follow and so helpful in remembering Allah daily - i highly recommend everyone to download this app
make an action plan after committing the particular sin, make an action plan moving forwards of something you're going to do to seek the Pleasure of Allah and His forgiveness. for example, you tell yourself/Him that you will now wake up for tahajjud every morning for the next 2 weeks (and actually do it) and ask Allah to accept this as an apology and to have Mercy on you. that way, you can even build it as a habit and continue after.
nawafil (voluntary) prayers along with the fard prayers start praying voluntary prayers, like: - 4 raka'at's before asr prayer (The Prophet ﷺ said: "May Allah have mercy upon a man who prays four before Al-Asr." (at-Tirmidhi 430) - tahajjud - 2 raka'at's after the 2 raka'ats of sunnah after zuhr - duha prayer (after sunrise and before zuhr time) etc. doing these extra prayers on top of the obligatory 5 daily prayers will give you more blessings and help you weigh more on the righteous side of the scale
reading Qur'an daily with lengthy recitation this has so many blessings. it's a form of dhikr, the remembrance of Allah, and it helps you to gain His pleasure by doing so. make sure to also read it with translation if arabic is not your first language / a language you understand so that you can listen to what Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ is saying and reflect and act on it too.
may Allah, Al-Ghafoor Ar-Raheem, forgive us all for our sins, accept our good deeds and have Mercy on us all, Allahumma Ameen.

what are your thoughts about what's going to happen on the 11th and 12th? I'm south african and although we've got a strong free Palestine and anti zionist community, as well as being the country to get Israhell to the ICJ, the pro zionist/Israel is very strong and very big. my fear is that if my country can be so against Palestine (and this is mainly because Israhell has sold this idea that Israel=the Holy land and Christianity is very strong here in SA) how is it going to be in other countries. Islamophobia is so much worse in western countries and I'm genuinely fearing for the outcome because the reality is whether Israhell is condemned or not, there's going to be outrage.
I'm not educated enough to even understand the implications of the ICJ, but I do pray that it goes in my country's favour, thereby going in Palestine's favour. I don't know if this is ignorant on my part, so do forgive me if this statement is tone deaf, but I remember reading something regarding the Syrian Civil War: that the healing process is painful but the result is worth it.
I sincerely believe that Israhell will not win and that Palestine will be free. My country is far from perfect, but we achieved democracy and ended our own Apartheid. Despite what many believe or think, I refuse to condemn Hamas because although I myself believed them to be in the wrong and thought of them as terrorists, the ANC were considered terrorists and Nelson Mandela was only removed from the CIAs terrorist list when Obama came into office. So it became clear to me that any act of resistance will always be considered an act of terror in the eyes of the oppressor, and we in Cape Town recognize this and we pray for Palestine's liberation.
I was born 11 years after Apartheid and grew up free, so I know that I will never be able to understand your pain, but I pray to Allah that this current generation will give birth to Palestinians who are like me and never have to experience oppression.
Allah will save this Ummah, I believe in it, and a powerful statement that was made by Alan Busack, a politician and theologian in my country, when he and Naledi Pandor, my country's Minister of International Relations, announced that the charge had been lodged with the UN was that "Palestine is already free." and i realized while listening to his speech that Palestinians are the bravest souls. Your children are braver than I could ever be and your faith is stronger than steel.
Regardless of the results of this case, we in South Africa will not give up on Palestine, we even have this new found tradition of fasting on Thursdays for Palestinians, and altho the Zionist movement is strong here and people are even being kicked out of public places for wearing the colours of the Palestinian flag, us supporters will take it in our stride.
May Allah bless you and free Palestine In Sha Allah Ameen ❤️
for the most part, what i hear and believe from my community is that the icj isn't actually gonna do anything or dismantle israel. but it WILL show the world the atrocities they've committed, and more and more people will be exposed to what has been happening, and therefore the intifada will become stronger. even if the icj doesn't do much (inshallah it will), it will still expose israel for what it is and will help change peoples minds over what is happening. that is the biggest thing we believe we will get out of from this whole situation.
islamophobia through christian zionism isn't new, nor is it something we don't know how to deal with. i don't really think you personally should be worrying about that, though we do appreciate the concern. people are waking up and more and more people are joining the intifada and not just protesting and supporting us but they're actually learning about palestine and it's history and culture and people and it's allowing people to learn about how palestine is the holy land and how we must protect it, etc etc. the world is turning to our side and taking apart christian zionism and proving it wrong, so while yes christian zionism is dangerous, it's easily dismissible and taken apart, and we are prepared to deal with that.
we are grateful for south africa helping us and inshallah palestine will be free soon. i hope the next generation of our children will never have to face hardship like this ever again. may allah accept all martyrs and send them to heaven ya rab. thank you for your kind message, it means a lot 🫶

Hello there,
Unfortunately I live in Egypt and I really want to help the stop the active genocide going on in Palestine. I’m always praying for Allah to give you strength and protect the Palestinians. If there is any way I can help whether by donating to credible sources or any other way can you please tell me???
May Allah bless you and all Palestinians
Unfortunately the issue is no aid is being let in because the Israeli government intends to make Gaza completely unlivable. I recommend donating to direct action organizations and legal funds so that people can stop the weapons from getting to Israel:

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu to you and your family. Wishing you a joyous Eid! May Allah ﷻ make this jubilation a blessing for all of us. May Allah ﷻ accept all of our prayers, fasting and good deeds. May Allahﷻ's blessings and mercy be upon every family and home.

Allahumma ameen! May Allah ﷻ forgive me and you for our sins & may He ﷻ grant us a never-ending abundance of blessings on this blessed day. However, test after test we've have failed, but his infinite mercy still remains. Allah-hu-akbar! Indeed, we've sinned so much, we've wronged ourselves so much, we've violated our souls by committing sins. Despite that, our sins shall never become greater than the mercy of Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim, and for Him to forgive us. Indeed, He ﷻ is The Kind, The Pardoner and The Forgiver - Ar-Ra'uf and Al-‘Afuw. May Allah ﷻ allow us to yearn only for our true home, and may we understand that the only way we will reach our true home is through sincere obedience to Him. May Allāh ﷻ help us all and thus guiding us to help each other. May Allah ﷻ protect our loved ones from any harm. Though, lately it has been quite challenging time for all of us. And many of us have lossed our dear ones. May Allah ﷻ protect our muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine and all over the world. May Allah ﷻ grant our Ummah victory. May Allah ﷻ grant us all forgiveness and ease to all those who rest in their graves and may Allah ﷻ grant his illuminous noor in their graves from amongst the noors of Jannah Al-Firdaus. Allahumma ameen! May Allahﷻ keep us steadfast on our deen. May Allah grant us all Jannat al-Firdaus. May Allah ﷻ make us do all of good actions for pleasing him alone and may he ﷻ be pleased with us always. Ameen ya rabbul alameen!
Fi-Aman-illah !🌙✨

Allah calls Himself Al-Muqeet— The All-Sustainer, The All-Nourisher, The All-Preserver— on one occasion in the Quran. He is the powerful maintainer who sustains, nourishes, protects, and oversees all that exists. Al-Muqeet is taking care of all living beings by sending down all kinds of physical and spiritual nourishment for them!
The Ultimate Maintainer, Nourishing and Overseeing Creation
Muqeet come from the root qaaf-waw-taa, which carries four main meanings. The first meaning is to supply, maintain, and sustain. The second main meaning of this root is to feed and nourish. The third is to keep, preserve, and guard, and the fourth is to witness, observe, and watch over.
This root appears twice in the Quran in two derived forms. Examples of these forms are aqwātahā (its sustenance) and muqeetan (a keeper).
Linguistically, muqeet refers to the attribute of sustaining. Al-Muqeet sustains bodies and the souls and He has taken it upon Himself to sustain His creation. As He creates all things, Al-Muqeet also creates what sustains them; He makes accessible what is necessary and what is luxury. He gives us what we need to survive, until He wills to put an end to life— then He simply withholds what keeps us alive. Al-Muqeet alone is capable and knowledgeable of everything.
Al-Muqeet Himself says: . . . And ever is Allah , over all things, a Keeper [Quran, 4:85].
Sustaining Body and Soul
Al-Muqeet protects and sustains living beings; in this sense this name is strongly related to Al-Hafeedh, The Preserver. He does not only sustain our bodies with provisions like food and drink, but Al-Muqeet also for example sustains the heart through knowledge. Sustaining us is even more specific than the attribute of providing for us, Ar-Razzaaq.
Al-Muqeet and Al-Mugheeth
Some reports give the name al-Mugheeth instead of al-Muqeet. Al-Mugheeth is interpreted as meaning the Helper, for He helps His slaves at times of difficulty when they call upon Him; He answers them and saves them. It also has the meaning of the One Who responds and the One Who is called upon. Ighaathah [help] refers to actions and istijaabah [responding] refers to words, but they may be used interchangeably. Ibn al-Qayyim said: He is the Helper of all His creatures, and He responds to those who are desperate [Sharh Asmaa’ Allaah ta’aala al-Husna by Dr. Hissah al-Sagheer]
How Can We Live By This name?
1. Make abundant dua to Al-Muqeet.
Al-Muqeet hears the silent dua and responds to it and knows your affliction and is the only One Who removes it. Call upon Al-Muqeet, using this beautiful name, to ask to sustain your body with provisions and your heart with the knowledge of Islam.
2. Recognize Al-Muqeet in every sustenance.
Let this name inspire you to equip yourself with this good manner: every time food is brought to you, recognize Al-Muqeet and His amazing grace through which you are provided with food. This goes for all the daily life provisions you never really think about, even the knowledge you are able to gain to strengthen your mind and heart. If you train yourself to such recognition you will be able to live by this name.
3. Sustain others with the help of Al-Muqeet.
If you are grateful to Al-Muqeet for His sustenance, protection and nourishment He will make you treasure-house for His servants, enabling you to sustain others, teach them knowledge, and lead them to the ever-Living, the Sustainer.
4. Seek your wishes from Al-Muqeet only.
Only seek the fulfilment of all your wishes and desires from Him, for only Al-Muqeet holds the keys to the treasures of His sustenance. Al-Muqeet said in a hadith qudsi to Musa ‘alayhi sallam: O Musa! Ask Me with regard to everything, including your shoe strings and the salt for your pot.
5. Rely on Al-Muqeet.
He can sustain and look after the whole creation without ever getting tired, so be sure Al-Muqeet looks after you in the best possible way. Rely on Him to provide for you, nourish you and protect you by never seeking haram means of sustenance or doubting in His power to maintain you.
6. Nourish your soul by faith in Al-Muqeet.
Nourish your heart by having faith in His Oneness and nourish your soul by the five pillars of Islam; shahadah, prayer, zakat, fasting and Hajj.
7. Use your sustenance in the right way.
Whatever Al-Muqeet blessed you with, protected you with and gave you access to, show Him that you use it to please Him and not to anger Him. Pay your zakah over your belongings, give abundant sadaqah with your time and skills and don’t misuse your sustenance by using it for inpermissable things or by being ungrateful or unsatisfied.
O Allah, Al-Muqeet, we know that You are the only One able to maintain all there ever was, is and will be. Sustain our bodies and souls , make us recognize Your sustenance and guide us to be of those who use their sustenance to gain Your Pleasure and become a way of sustenance for others, teaching others and leading them to You. Bless us with reliance on You and make us seek You only for everything we want or need, ameen!

My heart is broken for Aden and Shahd, two of my oldest internet friends.
We met on Instagram roleplay in 2014. I remember following you, Aden and then your sister, Shahd. You would always try to uplift my spirits, you really wanted to help me when I was in a rough spot, I couldn’t imagine what you were also going through. You made a whole post for me, trying to show me you were there and I was loved. I look back at sometimes, and remember how much love you had for me.
I remember as well, in 2014, You, Aden posted a video of the sirens, the bomb sirens. I didn’t understand what it meant. I was only 13, safe in my room. But that was the day I learnt about Gaza. You had used the hashtags for Gaza, even joking you should try and get one of the missiles on video next time but knowing you would also be hiding, so it would be hard.
I was so scared, for you, my beloved friends. Scared that the bombs where coming for my friend and scared that such a post would get you in trouble and hurt by the authorities. Back then, I knew. Shahd had to be the one to inform me you were all safe. I was so relieved. And I remember, we carried on talking, like nothing happened. Because we were kids, and we just wanted to play.
I went back to that post, recently. The sound was removed, but I still remember it. The comments are still there. Scared for you, wanting you to be okay. Seeing even back then you begged for peace and freedom of Gaza, I’m so sorry the world failed you my beloved.
That account brings me to a much, much simpler time. Seeing all the posts you made for me, and while I long since rid my account of the memories. I still remember everything we would talk about.
I want to remember how awful we were, two kids thinking we were writing the stars in the sky into existence with our words. We were barely teenagers writing gay characters because we had no other way to publicly express ourselves.
I keep looking back through your account. Finding new things. Seeing the conversation we used to have because Instagram didn’t have dms, or people didn’t use them. I can’t remember.
You were always so sweet. I think you’d find it funny to look back at these, knowing I’m undiagnosed autistic during that time. It definitely shows. I wish I had the time to point it out to you, but we were always talking about the next thing, never dwelling. We were each other’s escape from reality. I wish we could joke and laugh together again now.
I want to remember when you were my rock, you had so much love in your heart, and I wish I could pay you back for all those years of love. I wish I could see you again.
I have been worried each time I hear of a new bombing. We haven’t been in contact in sometime, I’m not sure where you are, I cannot reach you. And my heart is telling me that where you are, is somewhere I cannot go.
May Allah protect you, wherever you are. And may Allah grant your resting place in Jannah.
I love you.

My soul was dead and blind, but not anymore! Thanks to science! It helps me understand complicity and potentials in his creations like in genes, function, connections between one living thing to others, etc. Only Allah can make that.
Allāhu Akbar. my dear friend, may His mercy continue to bless your path. it is He alone who guides whom He wills. islam is simple and logical. alas, humans are proud and egoistic and even when they know, sometimes, they willfully act blind. May Allāh protect us.

Islam started with Humans. So, humans have to show that they are with Islam.
Islam started with the first direction of Allah when Allah commanded Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him) to live in Paradise but not to go towards a certain tree. In fact, Allah would not have created the tree and allowed Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him) to live there without any restrictions forever. But that would not have served the purpose of testing the power of understanding of a Human towards the good and bad by his own consciousness through the guidance of Allah. This is a central processing unit of Human inside a consciousness that makes him a human. And the best of the Humanity is the Taqwa, the righteousness, the consciousness of His Creator and His commandments for the good of humanity.
Allah started with the first commandment to check the taqwa of Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him). Allah the creator of Humans, provided complete freedom to human in this regard and there is complete freedom to choose between the right and wrong, good and bad, evil and blessed through observations and guidance revealed by Allah from time to time till the Day of Judgement. And this is the portion which Satan manipulates so that he could take every human towards Hell, his destination. Subsequently this is the portion for which Allah declares that even if whole of the human will be deviated by Satan, He will forgive them all if they would have believed in Allah and will not have associated anything in His existence and in His worship. Forgiveness is the power which only Allah reserved for Himself. This defeated Satan. One who is unaware of the existence of Allah willingly (non-believers) and reject the existence of Allah (Atheists, Agnostic etc.) or the one who accepts the existence of Allah but associate other equivalent to His attributes (Mushrik) will not be forgiven and will be in Hell with Satan forever. The first commandment of Allah to the human was “Don’t go near that tree” and since then Islam started or the submission to the will of Allah, the almighty, started for every human being equally. The enmity of Satan & human started since the creation of Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him), and it will continue till the Last day. But it will be at its peak before the last days.

God do you still want me to believe that they are from the progeny of Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him). No God, never, not at all. Satan has manifested itself in this war and the biggest of the fitnah is yet to arrive upon the earth or it may have already arrived. Muslims should unite and shed the tag of sectarian supremacy now because we don’t know when the last signs will start appearing and our Book of Account will be closed. O Allah keep our emaan intact till death arrives. Make us not the losers and rejected upon whom your curse descends. O Allah send your aid to Gaza and send you help to the people in need of sustenance there. Protect them, protect Al Aqsa, protect Palestine. Ameen.

My Life Boat ⛵️
Today, as I was driving home, I had the windows open and there was a nice breeze. Watching the rush of Muslimeen and the cars made me realize how far life has come for me. I’m in another world so far removed from what I was trying to escape for so long. I’ve made it to the next chapter after so many countless sleepless nights hoping, wishing, praying. I dragged my tired soul to this point through patience and prayer. And now I can finally enjoy the fresh air, and can learn how to breathe again. I have nothing but gratitude. Now, as I sit enjoying the simple things in life, I get an overwhelming sense of happiness, not because life has become easier, if anything there are more challenges now‎, but the trials become sweet when you endure them for the sake of Allah, and you reflect upon the why, yet despite the trials, there is so much to be grateful for. I view hijrah like a life boat, I embarked on this journey to save me from the bigger threat that is of the West and staying in such lands that have no real future or prosperity. Just a land of degeneracy filled with Godless immorality. With the help of Allah, I some how managed to find my way to safety.
May Allah keep us under His protection. May Allah guide our every step! May Allah grant us a good end! Ameen

May the people of Palestine be free of this terror they have to face everyday. May they find joy, laughter, and a form of peace. May the children go to school, families will thrive and Palestine will live in a nation that is free from terror and oppression. Where no person nor child will have to fear the sound of a plane, or worry if they will make it till tomorrow. No parent will have to find their child in the rubble caused by the Israeli oppressors. Where they are seen as people and not as “human animals”.
I pray that Allah(God) will protect them, and give them the peace and freedom they deserve. I pray that our world leaders will finally open their eyes to what is happening, and see that it is a genocide they are funding/defending. That they call for a cease fire, so aid can enter to help the Palestinian people. I will continue to use my voice for the voiceless and fight for what I believe is right. Because my voice is my best weapon I have. Especially as a Westerner. It breaks my heart to watch everyone turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing is happening. It feels like I can’t speak when I have so much to say. All i want to ask, is do you fully understand what is happening? Do you understand that innocent civilians are being injured and killed by the minute? How can you just sit there and go about your day to day life when so many people are in a living nightmare? It just hurts to sit here and watch so many suffer. And it’s not just the people I am mourning, it’s the animals as well. No one deserves this. And it’s so disheartening that all of this is happening because of greed (as well as the things hamas has done), but Hamas wouldn’t have to do the things they have done if Israel would just leave them alone. If they wanted to free the hostages, they should send in special forces to get these hostages. But they are not, they are deliberately attacking hospitals, refugee camps, schools, places of worship, etc. Where they know that so many civilians will be. How can they sleep at night knowing what they are doing to these civilians? It hurts and it’s sad to have to watch this through a screen on tik tok for crying out loud! It’s sickening that we are rewatching history happen and not doing the proper terms to stop this madness. And people are condoning the madness the Israeli occupation are doing. When it’s straight up genocide at this point. All i ask is that we can help these people, and for them to find peace. May god continue to protect them and watch over them.
One of the many things I admire from the Palestinian people, is their faith. It amazes me that they are going through a living hell, but are able to keep their faith in Allah. They believe that their life is not over even if they meet death. It’s so inspiring to watch these people suffer but are still able to keep their faith and pray. When I know that if I was in their position, I would be angry and upset that the person I am worshiping is letting this happen and not putting a stop to this. But the fact that they are not is astounding. And it’s something I will take with me and use in my day to day life. I will continue to have faith, but I will also continue to pray for these people. To end their suffering. I pray that they will be able to get drinking water, food, medical supplies, and all of the other basic necessities that Israel is refusing them. And I pray that the oppressors will get the karma that is coming for them, for doing this to a community.
May Palestine be free from the river to the sea 🕊️
