Dear Muslims of Britain,
Continue marrying and having children.
Continue strengthening ties of kinship with extended families.
Continue building mosques and other services for our communities.
Continue being good neighbours, friends, colleagues and peers to non-Muslims.
Defend your deen and preserve your Islamic identity while positively contributing to society.
REMEMBER:
It’s not Muslims who abandon their elderly in care homes until it’s time to claim the inheritance.
It’s not Muslims that have abandoned marriage and having children within wedlock.
It’s not Muslims that are heavily reliant on alcohol to socialise and pet dogs for friendship.
British Muslim communities are not free of faults and problems, FAR FROM IT, but we have Islam, and its morals, values, beliefs and practices — safeguard this and never abandon it.
A small circle of greedy and self-centered individuals, with power, running a political machinery that sucks every dalasi out of the taxpayers pockets. The time is now we shun these thieves and take back our country. For the #gambia our home land.
@zoomafrika1 Rest easy, king, and to all martyrs. May your deaths be the foundation upon which we will build a state of equal people. Till we meet again!
n the meanwhile, there exists in our neighboring Senegal a regime that desperately seeks to cut at all costs the voices of the people. Brothers and sisters bleed for democracy in a country that was, not even sometime far, a model of African civic liberty. #FreeSenegal
In Um al-Khair, a village surrounded by settlers, Palestinians were told to raise Israeli flags or face repercussions.
After a farmer's house was burned down, locals said they called Israeli police. The police threatened the victims with imprisonment

Just a Reminder to the World. Never Forget that there was no international outcry or attention when NATO invaded Libya and was continuously Bombing Libya.
The country that had one of the highest standard of living in the world at the time. They bombed the country back to stone age. Libya's 42 years of progress, stability and development was destroyed.
The MainStream media never gave the Bombing of Libya the attention it needed. They were forcing their own Narratives on people.
Never trust the MainStream Media. They have the Power to make the innocent look Guilty and the Guilty look innocent because they control the narrative by showing you what they want you to see and what you see controls your mind.
Never trust the MainStream Media.
What are your thoughts on this?
The hostile Heaven that makes the earth disjoins the people into water-eating proletarians and exploit-scheming bourgeoises. For the bourgeoises squeeze the dime out of the pockets of the proletariats then the proletarians drink water for dinner. Welcome to the Global South.
For dust is thick, darker than the sleeping shelves of the Atlantic slave ships but whiter than the Latin American “blanqameunto”. When it is settled, love will translate to hate and promises translate to de facto.
When times are tough, that's when your character is developed. That’s when you grow. When you face trials & suffering, your soul is strengthened. So keep going.
Happy Birthday to Patrice Lumumba, the first legally elected prime minister of D.R Congo.
He was assassinated in 1961 following a military coup supported by U.S.A & Belgian imperialism which was admitted by the State Dept in 2013 authorized by president Eisenhower.
A THREAD
On this day, June 20, 1967, boxing legend Muhammad Ali was convicted for refusing the draft for the Vietnam War in Houston, Texas. Ali had been a vocal opponent of the US war, expressing his views by saying, "Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs?"
In an attempt to suppress the growing resistance to the war, Ali was given the maximum sentence of five years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. However, these efforts proved unsuccessful as the anti-war movement continued to gain momentum. Despite the Nation of Islam starting to distance themselves from Ali, demonstrations in support of him took place worldwide, from Egypt to Guyana, London to Ghana. Four years later, the Supreme Court overturned his conviction.
Ali remained steadfast in his convictions, stating, "I wasn't trying to be a leader. I just wanted to be free. And I made a stand all people, not just Black people, should have thought about making because it wasn't just Black people being drafted. The government had a system where the rich man's son went to college, and the poor man's son went to war. Then, after the rich man's son got out of college, he did other things to keep him out of the Army until he was too old to be drafted."
Almighty. Take away worry, fear and doubt from us. Calm our troubled hearts. Free us from anxiety and stress. Help us trust in Your Mercy. Wholeheartedly. Aameen
“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners.
Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!
Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak!
It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”
Russia was banned from Eurovision swiftly over Ukraine, but Israel has literally killed 33 Palestinians, including children, while the competition is going on, and no one has suggested anything similar.
