"I'm actually relieved no Muslim country won the World Cup."*
Wait... hear me out.
Not because I don't want Muslims to succeed. Of course I do.
I'm relieved because if a Muslim country had lifted that trophy, many of us would have treated it as proof that our country had become great.
But here's my question...
*Is that really what makes a nation great?*
Think about it.
China has never won a World Cup. Nobody doubts its economic influence.
The United States didn't win. Nobody says it's no longer a global power.
Football success has never been the world's measure of civilisational greatness.
So why should it become ours?
Islam taught us a far higher standard.
A great ummah is one that establishes justice.
One that protects its people in Gaza and other places.
One that feeds its people.
One that advances knowledge.
One that stands up for the oppressed.
One whose values inspire humanity.
Those are the things that made the early Muslim civilisation and the Khilafah respected across the world—not because it won games, but because it transformed lives.
Enjoy football.
But don't let a football tournament redefine success.
An Ummah of nearly two billion people should dream bigger than lifting a trophy.
The question isn't whether Muslims can win the World Cup.
The real question is:
*When will we once again become a civilisation whose justice, knowledge and leadership make the world take notice?*
That's a victory worth celebrating

Dr. Eyad al-Qunaibi on the ongoing massacres in Gaza:
While the world's media attention is focused on other events, the massacres in Gaza continue. The perpetrators are systematically killing people, employing a tactic of constant torment and exhaustion of the population.
Since early Friday morning, 14 Muslim martyrs have been killed – may Allah accept them among the martyrs. Another 37 people have been injured.
Recently, a funeral procession in Nuseirat was targeted. Eight people who had come to pay their respects to the deceased were also killed in the attack. Those who came to witness the final farewell became victims themselves.
Can you imagine the extent of this brutality? Now, even funeral processions are not safe. Even those mourning are becoming targets.
Oh Allah, have mercy on the people of Gaza, strengthen their hearts with patience and fortitude. Punish those who oppress them and plot against them. Grant us the power to help our brothers and sisters, and do not let us be among those who abandon them.

⭕️POEM *Salahuddin: The Liberator of Al-Quds*
In days of strife and blood-soaked sands,
A hero rose, his name etched in golden strands.
*Salahuddin*, noble and just,
His sword ablaze, his heart devout.
From Tikrit's cradle, he emerged,
A beacon of hope, a destiny surged.
His love for learning, tears at Qur'an's verse,
Guided his path, a flame that would disperse.
Jerusalem, once bathed in Crusader's might,
Its streets wept blood, its people's plight.
But Salahuddin, with unwavering might,
Marched forth to reclaim the sacred site.
*Al-Quds*, the jewel, the city of dreams,
He fought for justice, where sunlight gleams.
Generosity flowed from his noble soul,
Even to foes, his mercy took its toll.
Chivalry adorned his every deed,
Enemies marvelled at his valorous creed.
In unity, he rallied the fractured Ummah,
Against treachery, division, and false drama.
His legacy echoes through time's embrace,
A liberator, a sage, a celestial grace.
*Salahuddin*, your name forever inscribed,
In Al-Quds' soil, where faith and courage thrived
====================
*The above poem was composed using AI.
*May Allah (swt) bless us soon with a ruler like Sultan Salahuddin who will implement the Qur'an revealed in this blessed month and who will send the army of the Islamic Khilafah state to liberate #Palestine - as Allah ordered. #Gaza
وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْوِلْدَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَٱجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّۭا وَٱجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا
And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper?" [An-Nisa 4:75]
Here we have the US president declaring the Golan to be Israeli territory, and the so-called President of Syria responds with absolute silence.
-Not a word.
-Not a challenge.
-Not even a token objection.
If anyone still needed proof that he's nothing more than Washington's obedient puppet, this is it.
A "leader" who won't even defend his own country's territorial claims has surrendered both his credibility and his independence.
An Israeli soldier shot and killed a mentally ill young man after he crossed the "yellow line" east of Deir al-Balah. His family, unable to control his movements, dug a grave 300 metres from his corpse but aren't allowed to retrieve it.
For 2 days, his mother waves a white flag from dawn to sunset, hoping Israeli forces will permit her to recover his body, but she receives no response. The desperate family has now pleaded on Facebook for international help to bury their child.
On the same outskirts, Israel last month kidnapped a 3-year-old child and his father and shot the child dead: https://t.co/3snvUBocSr
Iqra charity is Fundraising For A Family in Crisis: Stand With the Loved Ones of Bilal Abdul Kareem
The weight of a prison cell is not carried by the prisoner alone.
While Bilal Abdul Kareem remains behind bars, his family is left to navigate a world that has grown cold, unstable, and increasingly difficult. Regardless of politics or personal views, there is a fundamental human truth we cannot ignore: wives and children should not have to fight for survival while their husband and father is detained.
Why Your Help is Urgent
This isn't just a fundraiser; it is a lifeline. Without Bilal’s ability to provide, his family faces an immediate and growing struggle to cover:
• Safe Housing: Ensuring they are not displaced.
• Basic Sustenance: Putting food on the table for his dependents.
• Stability: Providing a sense of security in an era of terrifying uncertainty.
A Call to Your Humanity
This is a humanitarian appeal. It is an opportunity to be the answer to a family’s desperate Dua. By contributing today, you are telling this family that they are not forgotten. You are easing a burden that has become too heavy for them to carry alone.

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“There are three whose supplication is not rejected: The fasting person when he breaks his fast, the just leader, and the supplication of the oppressed person; Allah raises it up above the clouds and opens the gates of heaven to it. And the Lord says: ‘By My might, I shall surely aid you, even if it should be after a while.’”
