At least 9 British pilgrims died at Hajj this year. My colleague @samannf spent months examining the fatal impact climate change is having on summertime Hajj, & has told the story through the devastation of one family - the Rahmans of Rotherham. #Cop29 https://t.co/1GEerBNSmI

As some of the first Bangladeshi Muslims to arrive at Poplar's Will Crooks estate in 1983, the Ahmeds have had a front-row seat to #TowerHamlets' transformation for 40 years. @samannf visits and hears a story of deprivation, hope and, above all, community https://t.co/SY5a2PLRN4

Hyphen is looking for a new managing editor — yes, that's my role! After 20 years mucking around O/S I'm moving back to Australia in July, which means saying goodbye to our great team. Happy to answer questions. #journojobs https://t.co/uGcIbhuwP3

🔴Exclusive: More than half of England’s councils did not approve the building of any homes for social rent during Labour’s first six months in government, figures obtained by @onlinehyphen suggest

There was a lot of big talk from Labour about what it would do for social housing. Yet this Hyphen exclusive by @lucas_cumiskey found that more than 50% of England's councils didn't greenlight a single council house between July and December 2024. https://t.co/ijUCJntySS

🔴EXCLUSIVE: 43% of Muslims oppose the government's plan to allow #AssistedDying in England and Wales, a new poll for Hyphen has found, compared with just 15% of non-Muslims. Only a third (34%) back the bill.

Muslim soldiers played a vital role in the Allies' WWII victory - a fact that, as a recent poll found, many Brits seem unaware of. https://t.co/0EjKnsqysV

Anthony Murphy, seen here with Enoch Powell, is running as a Conservative in next week's local elections.

��� A Tory candidate hoping to win in Harrogate next week was once expelled for pushing anti-immigration leaflets — and chaired a group that hosted Enoch Powell.

I'm not OK with anyone being sent to Taliban-run Afghanistan.

There are many contradictions. Reform MPs recently voted against the employment rights bill that would ban zero-hours contracts and fire-and-rehire practices, measures that are widely supported by its voters.

Today's mood: @mahthussain's mother, who features in What Did You Want To See? on now at Ikon Gallery in Birmingham. (Giving me flashbacks to our 'badass women of the week' series at #ellemalaysia) Read more here: https://t.co/Gpq3edpKDU

Should halal businesses help pay for Muslim arts and culture? The UK halal food industry alone is worth £2bn.

Now a UK thinktank says the sector should reinvest some of its profits to support the underfunded arts.

Good idea or not?

It was suspended last year and slammed by then DPM @OliverDowden over pro-Palestine lobbying claims

These young protesters should not be in jail at all while awaiting trial. Great reporting by @anitamureithii

[Hyphen @onlinehyphen]

It’s 5.30pm on a recent Friday, but instead of joining their families for iftar Fatema Rajwani and Zahra Farooque are being ushered into their prison cells.

Their mothers tell @anitamureithii how they're coping with spending their first Ramadan apart.

Planned a year in advance down to the tiniest detail - these Eid looks are intimidating me!

[Hyphen @onlinehyphen]

Eid fashions are the Muslim Met Gala.

Six women from the West African diaspora share how their Eid outfits celebrate their roots, identity and faith.

Blessed Ramadan to Muslim friends near and far.

'Muhsin communicated a core spiritual truth: Allah delights in the diversity of their creation, and the liberation of all oppressed people is not just political, but a spiritual mandate.' - read Dr Sanah Ahsan's tribute to her friend, Imam Muhsin Hendricks https://t.co/uxzDnBSmD5

Kent council doesn't know where three asylum-seeking kids who were in its care have gone. Great work by our new investigative reporter @lucas_cumiskey

[Hyphen @onlinehyphen]

.@ChildrensComm vows to seek answers from Kent county council after Hyphen discovers vulnerable asylum-seeking children went missing from its reception centres more than 160 times between 2022-24 — and three are still missing.

@lucas_cumiskey has more.

Of the 913 people referred for that reason in the year to 31 March, 248 were children aged between 11 and 15, and 272 came from police. In related news, today Amnesty International found Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.

There's been a 45% rise in the number of people being referred to Prevent for being an 'Islamist' (whatever that means) since October 7, @onlinehyphen reveals. https://t.co/14vIUuPlPL
