[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Every single day, I find myself overwhelmed by the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the criminals expanding into the Westbank and Lebanon, the continued global indifference towards Sudan, the refugees among us who arise from the causes we claim dear to us that get virtually zero community support, the forgotten political prisoners left to languish in dungeons like graves beneath the earth, and the painful feeling that I am still not doing enough for any of them.

May Allah relieve the oppressed, free the imprisoned, and forgive our shortcomings.

Welfare reform has been a disaster in the UK -- leaving the social safety net in tatters

Our research, on welfare in one of the first communities to move onto Universal Credit, shows the costs to individuals and to communities

Tina Turner was iconic, talented, and fierce. What a journey. What a life, filled with great highs and great lows. She left an abusive marriage. She found love again. She made her way in this world, selling millions of albums. She became a mother, she experienced terrible sadness, and she still kept going. She brought joy to so many, even when she was experiencing such tragedy. I’ve always admired her. I first met her as a teenager and followed her throughout her inspiring life. May we honor Tina, and may we continue to play her music loudly and dance! #simplythebest
