Watching Palestinians fight for their lives on our screens is the most dehumanising experience of my life, but it doesn’t dehumanise them — it dehumanises everyone else for passively existing in a world that permits their destruction for nothing more than Western greed
After doctors held a press conference in a sea of corpses. After babies were found decomposing in incubators. After Hind, Reem, Muhammad Bhar. After the 2000th toddler, the 1000th bloodline. After Sde Teiman, the mass graves, the sniped and limbless children.
What will it take?
Today a righteous man was killed by the most wicked army on earth. Khaled Nabhan who we watched bid farewell to his beloved Reem, the soul of our soul, has joined her in the realm of souls where the wickedness of this so called humanity will no longer reach them. The man had an angelic presence to say the least. He smiled in the face of a genocide, and went around hospitals and camps comforting people despite his own pain. A man who seemed too good to be here. I longed for the day to meet him in person. I imagined the day the genocide would be over and he would be celebrated with awards around the world on the biggest stages. The demonized turbaned Muslim man who was everything they said he couldn’t be. Kind. Loving. Righteous. Resilient. Too good for this world. Our hearts are broken. I won’t post the picture of his bloodied face, just the smile they tried to make the world unsee. May Allah have mercy on you our brother and join you with your beloved Reem and Rasul ﷺ, and may we join you there one day too.
Lesson from Surah Kahf: A rejection, a loss, a delay isn't always a deprivation, it is indeed Allah’s divine help to protect you, give you better and reward you. Alhamdulillah.
I can’t stop thinking about the guy, lying on the ground, his body hit directly by some grenade (not gas, looked more like phosphorus), and it looks like he’s emitting furious smoke from within his body. How many times do you lose your mind a day?
Almighty. Help and protect the people of Palestine and Lebanon. Our hearts are heavy as we watch scenes unfolding daily. Ease their pain and suffering. Bestow Your Mercy upon them. Lift their affliction and make them victorious. Aameen.

Don't be jealous of what Allah has given to someone, because you never know what Allah took from them. There is always someone else having lesser than you. Say ‘Alhamdulillah’ for everything.
