"In this moment, you are exactly where you need to be. And in being here, you are both valued and valuable. To deny that would be to deny the legacies of your ancestors, the giants on whose shoulders we stand." - Iman Ismail (SFS’22), Senior Class Speaker

It is obvious the world is starting to move on from Gaza. Know that just because you don’t see dead children on your screen as often as you did, doesn’t mean it’s not happening anymore.
We owe Gaza our endurance. Please don’t quit.
1) There was a mosque I used to love going to for maghrib prayers, as the sheikh would always give a short talk afterwards. Once I was there during a time of personal difficulty.
In this thread I will be translating the biggest takeaways from Al Quds Radio 102.7 on Radio Garden Live (it’s blocked in the UK btw). This station is live from Gaza and it’s in Arabic.
“We are not anonymous.” Every victim has an identity, a name, a family, a history & a place among humanity. All 7028 lives, dreams & futures were destroyed by Israel’s genocidal war. Believe that, Mr. Biden & stop parroting Israel’s racist propaganda.
Wow, their iman 🤍
"My wife, son, daughter and grandchild were killed...however Alhamdulilah we still have more remaining. Our dignity remains, and our Land remains, and our will remains, likewise our belief in Allah, our patience, steadfastness and conviction in Him remains.."
Imagine that the reason you are healing right now is because Allah is responding to someone's supplication for you <3 and that a loved one's burden is being lifted because Allah answered your prayers for them. What a wonderful gift Allah has given us.

You ever write a research paper and want to genuinely thank the authors you're citing for the work they've done?
Like, "Yes you've done excellent work and without you I would have 16 other citations in your place and 8 alternative thesis statements."
When I was telling a friend about morality as sourced from the fitra, and the 'salvational' power of tawakul, she said "your Islam is so liberating" and I'm putting it here because I want to memorialize that.
I would like to announce that Starbucks has heard Saoud's woes and responded accordingly.
The balance of the world is slowly being restored, baby steps ✨
I love this part of my life where I start to understand what I believe. I know when I agree or don't agree with something - even if I can't entirely articulate it, that awareness is more calming than the blind acceptance.
HEROES! DO YOU HEAR ME?!
"It's Day 12 & still @ the hospital. The first 3 days, I was the only doctor. Ppl told me to leave, but who would take care of the patients? So I stayed, even after the nurses left.
Then my friends came; we're running everything now, even the pharmacy."

When the Companions used to express their love for the Prophet ﷺ, they would say, "More precious than my mother and father O Messenger of Allah."
Those who take the Prophet's path ﷺ, it shows in how their life plays out. It speaks for itself.
Someone tell Tom Holland about zakat, which he is literally describing https://t.co/y9XoKD71Vj.
I don't blame people for loving their own culture, but won't Europeans ever tire of these provincial and Hegelian "we are the special unique culmination of world history" arguments?
