The best 10 days are here. These are the days Allah loves most - and the Prophet ﷺ taught us that the best people are those most beneficial to others.

Let this Dhul Hijjah be your chance to act on both truths. Set up a £10/month donation to MEND as a sadaqah jariyah that keeps fighting Islamophobia and protecting Muslim communities across Britain long after these blessed days have passed.

Don’t let these days pass without doing something lasting. 🤲

7/7 | What happens next?

The UK Foreign Secretary has announced that the Charity Commission is now investigating these links. We demand full transparency. Aid to the oppressed should not face greater obstacles than funding linked to settlements that the UK itself regards as illegal under international law. This hypocrisy must end.

🧵 1/7 | Millions in UK charity funds flowing to illegal settlements while Gaza starves.

A major new investigation has exposed a massive pipeline of cash flowing from England and Wales directly into illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The sheer scale of this double standard is staggering. Let’s break down what's happening.

6/7 | Aid as a Weapon 🛑

For months, Muslim charities and global NGOs have faced immense bureaucratic hurdles, frozen bank accounts and aggressive vetting just to get basic aid into Palestine. Meanwhile, organisations funding ideological expansion in the West Bank face zero friction.

A local Imam and his young family were targeted in a disturbing apparent Islamophobic arson attack in Bolton, where a man wearing a balaclava set fire to his house. Alhamdulillah they are safe. The criminal has not yet been detained or arrested.

Watch with extreme caution, image of violent attack on a Somali sister in Dublin. This is where racist rhetoric from media and politicians gets us to.

JUST IN : A somali woman was hospitalised in Dublin on Monday after she was brutally attacked UNPROVOKED.

Her hijab was ripped off and her face was slashed.

Not one single report on main stream media on this horrific incident.

They hunted their neighbours in Belfast last night - and it continues tonight. One man's crime, turned into a whole community's punishment. We've seen this playbook before - and we refuse to let it run unanswered. #belfast

Watch and share.

9/ We are watching the consequences of years of racism, Islamophobia and anti-immigrant hatred being normalised in public life. If politicians continue to inflame division and platforms continue to reward extremism, the far right will only become more emboldened, more organised and more violent.
This cannot be normalised. It must be challenged — politically, socially and collectively.

1/ The scenes in Belfast last night were terrifying. Anti-immigrant riots erupted across the city after online calls to mobilise, with homes attacked, vehicles and buildings set alight and residents terrorised in their own neighbourhoods. This is not “protest”. It is racist mob violence and it is deeply alarming.

8/ What happened in Belfast is yet another warning.
If racism, Islamophobia and anti-immigrant hatred continue to be tolerated, platformed and politically rewarded, we will see more violence, more intimidation and more communities living in fear.
