🇪🇸 For everyone trying to understand what happened in Spain today, here's the situation:
The events are centered around Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city located on the north coast of Africa, bordering Morocco.
Together with Melilla, Ceuta is one of only two land borders between the European Union and Africa. Although geographically in Africa, Ceuta is sovereign Spanish territory and therefore part of the EU's external border.
Because of its location, Ceuta has long been one of the main entry points for migrants seeking to reach Europe. The city is protected by border fences, surveillance systems, and a permanent presence of Spain's Guardia Civil and National Police.
Today, the situation escalated dramatically.
According to Spanish authorities
between 2,000 and 3,000 migrants crossed or attempted to cross into Ceuta in just a few hours. Hundreds entered by swimming around the Tarajal breakwater, using inflatable inner tubes and other flotation devices, while others reportedly forced their way through sections of the border.
The scale of the crossings overwhelmed the Guardia Civil, prompting the regional government of Ceuta to request immediate military assistance from Madrid, in response, the Spanish government activated emergency measures.
The Interior Ministry announced the deployment of Army units to reinforce the Guardia Civil, together with additional police officers, military divers, and a naval vessel to help secure the coastline and restore control over the border.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is expected to travel to Ceuta, while authorities have stated that migrants who entered illegally will be processed under Spanish law, with deportations where legally applicable.
The humanitarian situation has also deteriorated.
According to police sources, 10 people lost their lives while attempting to swim into Ceuta. Emergency services have been conducting rescue operations throughout the day as crossings continued.
Residents have reported an atmosphere of uncertainty. Some businesses closed their doors early, with shop owners saying they feared possible disturbances and wanted to protect their families and property while security forces focused on the border.
The situation has also created diplomatic tensions inside Europe: Italian officials criticized Spain's migration policies and suggested that Schengen free movement with Spain should be suspended, arguing that Madrid's regularization policies could encourage further irregular migration. Spain strongly rejected those remarks, with Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares summoning the Italian ambassador and accusing Rome of responding with political rhetoric instead of European solidarity.
At the same time, Spanish authorities temporarily closed the Melilla border crossing after further attempts by migrants to enter through Spain's second enclave in North Africa.
On the Moroccan side of the border, security forces have deployed riot police, tear gas, and water cannons in an effort to disperse thousands of people gathered near Ceuta, while reports indicate that large groups continue to move toward the border.
The European Union has already expressed its willingness to assist Spain, including through Frontex, as Madrid works to regain control of the situation.
This is the most serious migration crisis affecting Ceuta since 2021, when around 10,000 people entered the enclave within days.

📖 Before the Qur'an, Allah revealed other divine scriptures as guidance for humanity. Each revelation was sent to a Prophet, for a specific people, at a specific time, carrying the same core message: worship Allah alone and follow His guidance.
📜 Musa (AS) was given the Tawrah, a scripture of guidance and law for Bani Israel.
🎶 Dawud (AS) was given the Zabur, filled with wisdom, praises of Allah, and beautiful supplications.
🤍 Isa (AS) was given the Injil, bringing guidance, mercy, and glad tidings to his people.
🌍 Muhammad ﷺ was given the Qur'an—the final, complete, and universal revelation for all of humanity until the Day of Judgment.
As Muslims, we believe in all of Allah's revealed Books in their original form. Belief in the Tawrah, Zabur, Injil, and the Qur'an is an essential part of our faith.
What makes the Qur'an unique is that Allah Himself promised to preserve it. Unlike the previous revelations, which Muslims believe were not preserved in their original revealed form, the Qur'an has remained unchanged and protected. More than 1,400 years after its revelation, it continues to be recited by millions and memorized by people around the world.
📖 "Indeed, it is We who sent down the Reminder, and indeed, We will surely be its Guardian."
(Qur'an 15:9)
May Allah make us among the people of the Qur'an—those who recite it, understand it, act upon it, and teach it to others. Ameen. 🤲

Lionel Messi sobre Lamine Yamal consolándolo después de la victoria de España sobre Argentina en la final de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA.
🗣️ “Cuando sonó el pitido final, todo me dolía. Perder una final del Mundial es un dolor imposible de explicar. Estaba allí intentando contener las lágrimas cuando sentí que alguien me puso una mano en el hombro. Me di la vuelta… y era Lamine.”
“Por un instante, no vi al nuevo campeón del mundo con España. Vi al pequeño bebé que una vez sostuve en mis brazos y al que bañé hace tantos años. La vida tiene una forma increíble de recordarte lo rápido que pasa el tiempo. Ese momento me llegó al corazón más de lo que la gente puede imaginar.”
“Me abrazó y simplemente me dijo: ‘Gracias por todo.’ Esas palabras me rompieron por dentro. No porque hubiéramos perdido, sino porque entendí que el fútbol había cerrado un círculo perfecto. Aquel niño que un día me miraba con ojos inocentes estaba ahora frente a mí como campeón del mundo.”
“Le dije: ‘Estoy orgulloso de ti. Disfruta este momento porque te lo has ganado. Cuida del fútbol, cuida del Barcelona y nunca dejes de jugar con esa sonrisa.’ Lo dije de todo corazón.”
“En ese abrazo no había vencedores ni vencidos. Solo había una generación dándole las gracias a otra. Son momentos que te recuerdan que el fútbol es mucho más grande que cualquier trofeo o medalla.”
“No me fui de ese campo pensando únicamente en la derrota. También me fui con la tranquilidad de saber que el fútbol está en buenas manos. Ver a Lamine crecer desde aquel bebé de aquella fotografía tan especial hasta convertirse en una de las mayores estrellas del mundo me llena de orgullo.”
“Si este fue mi último Mundial, entonces agradezco que mi última imagen no haya sido solo el dolor de la derrota. También fue el abrazo con un joven cuya historia quedó unida a la mía mucho antes de que cualquiera de los dos pudiera imaginarlo. El fútbol nos regaló ese momento, y lo guardaré en mi corazón para siempre.”
Lamine Yamal on Lionel Messi after Spain’s FIFA World Cup triumph over Argentina.
🗣️ Lamine Yamal: “Tonight I lifted the World Cup for Spain, but I also experienced something I’ll tell my children one day. The man who once held me as a baby was standing on the other side of the pitch, fighting for the same dream. Football has a beautiful way of bringing stories full circle.”
“When I looked at Messi after the final whistle, I didn’t just see an opponent. I saw the player who made millions of kids, including me, believe football could be art. I saw the man whose videos I watched over and over, trying to copy things that nobody else could do.”
“I know this defeat will hurt him. You don’t play with that much passion, carry your country again and again, and lose a World Cup final without feeling pain. Even in defeat, he kept demanding the ball, creating chances and refusing to stop believing. That’s what champions do.”
“People will talk about Spain winning this World Cup, and they should. But they’ll also remember that, at an age when most legends have already retired, Messi was still making the world’s best defenders panic every time he touched the ball. That’s extraordinary.”
“The photo of Messi bathing me became one of football’s most iconic images. Today we took another picture together, but this time I could thank him face to face. Without players like him, kids like me wouldn’t dare dream this big.”
“One day another generation will replace mine too. That’s football. But there will never be another Lionel Messi. Records can be broken and trophies can be won, but inspiring an entire generation to fall in love with the game is something only a few people in history will ever achieve.”
“Tonight belongs to Spain. Tomorrow, the debates will continue. But my respect for Lionel Messi will never change. He didn’t need to win this final to prove who he is. For me, he’ll always be one of the greatest players football has ever seen, and sharing the pitch with him was a privilege I’ll carry for the rest of my life.”
