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.
To the oppressed, this speech is a promise of hope. To the oppressor, it is a reckoning. Hope speaks to those who yearn for equality and peace. Fear haunts those that deny it.

What a guy.
