we need to think more about how much violence against the middle east is normalized. mainstream media always paints ir as a "war" or "conflict" and not active racism, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and constant dehumanization towards these countries and their people
Ya Allah, do not let us depart from this Ramadan empty handed . Accept our duas ,forgive our sins , and write our names among those who are granted your mercy and salvation.
Somali-American teenager: Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter were murdered at the hands of ICE agents, and the Trump Administration demonized them. People were deported, students were impacted. But it’s not criminals or terrorists. It’s people like me.
With age, I finally understand why Prophet Musa (AS) said “Wa yassir li amri”. “Make my task easy for me.”
Because by Allah, we can’t do it alone. We need His help in every step, every breath.
ya Allah, don't let me be someone who only comes to you in Ramadan. make this the beginning of something permanent. a better sallah, a softer heart, a cleaner tongue, a sharper mind. let me leave this month as someone i'm proud of ya Rabb.
Astaghfirullah for when I've felt superior to others. Astaghfirullah for when I struggle to forgive someone for the wrongs they've done to me. Astaghfirullah for the sins I've committed, both those I remember and those I've forgotten to seek repentance for.
