Been in my thoughts lately, as in, why troll when you can be kind?

[Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips @DrBilalPhilips]

Always be kinder than necessary. What goes around comes around. No one has ever made themselves strong by showing how weak someone else is.

[Ben Cohen @YoBenCohen]

It’s time to make your own ice cream bars at home! Let me show you how to make a Ben & Jerry’s bar at home! They’re delicious and will satisfy your cravings for an ice cream bar, all while you boycott Magnum. #freebenandjerrys

Ramadan Reminder: You will fall short. We all do. Don’t let it stop you. Just keep turning back to Him. Keep asking for His help and ease.

“Whoever spends the Night of Decree in prayer out of faith and hope for reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven.” (Bukhari)

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Next time you gaze upon your child sleeping, remember this scene. Imagine the horror, the unimaginable pain, the numbness this father is feeling. Imagine your child asleep, but never waking up again. Who did this?

[Dr. Sh. Haifaa Younis @DrHaifaaYounis]

Ramadan is not just about “making it through.” It’s about leaving it better than when you started.

Set goals before Ramadan—spiritual, emotional, and personal. Make this your best Ramadan.

[Dr. Sh. Haifaa Younis @DrHaifaaYounis]

The one thing we must watch out for is time – Allah ﷻ will ask us on the Day of Judgment about how we spent our time. Wasting time is not just spending time on social media, it is also doing something for 30 minutes that usually takes 10 minutes.

Each breath that does not take us closer to Allah ﷻ is a wasted breath – breath is like time, you cannot get it back.

[Dr. Sh. Haifaa Younis @DrHaifaaYounis]

This is Allah's ﷻ promise – that your past mistakes can be erased and replaced with good through sincere tawbah.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Wafaa Hamad. Over a year of suffering with critical injuries after her entire family was killed by her side. Israel had continously blocked her evacuation out of Gaza's destroyed hospitals. She passed away today to be a bird in jannah bithnillah.

[Global Alerts @GlobalAlerts1]

Only 12% of Gaza's land is now available.

was watching rotten mango's latest video. brought me to think how access to traces of our lives can be made public instantly and easily. what we learned about judgement day, and the displaying of deeds, for all to see, does not sound farfetched after all.

[nora~zizi @neneknora]

miraculous it is, a mother's instinct. mama always get a whiff of my disturbed emotion, and calls at the the right time. T_T God bless our mothers.

second victim. sometimes you just gotta tell yourself, you have done all you can. and that is enough. #ithinkweallneedalongbreak

[Yaqeen Institute @yaqeeninstitute]

“O Allah, hasten Your relief...”

Allah’s timing is always perfect, but we beg Him to send His relief swiftly for our brothers and sisters in Gaza and Sudan.

Allahumma ultuf bina wa bihim fima yajri bihi al-qadaa’, wasrif ‘anna wa ‘anhum sharra at-tughati wa adh-dhalamati wa al-fasideena wa man ‘aawanahum ajilan ghayra ajilin fi ‘afiyatin wa salaamatin ya arham ar-rahimeen.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

They're losing everyone. Like an endangered animal in panic, Israel’s apartheid regime lashes out—attacking everyone, leveling homes, silencing journalists, criminalizing truth—hoping the chaos will mask its collapse. Your desperation is clear.

[nora~zizi @neneknora]

what have this world turn into

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

If only everyone in the world would be called upon to condemn this atrocity.

But alas, just another Palestinian.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

I don’t know what’s more haunting, the desperation in her tears or the destruction that she’s watching.

Those who do this to innocent human beings deserve hell, and nothing less.

I’m sorry oh people of Gaza. We’ve truly failed you.

[nora~zizi @neneknora]

channeling anger appropriately.
- the evil regime whose legacy is genocide
- neil gaiman. ugh
- academically-challenged policymakers

[nora~zizi @neneknora]

We build our own prisons. Bars forged of oaths, codes and commitments. Walls of self-doubt and accepted limitation. We inhabit these cells, these identities, and calls them "us". -Silco-

[nora~zizi @neneknora]

I think I lived life from one cliffhanger, to the next, during masters. Nearly gave up, and I can never thank those whom supported me during my downtimes enough. Alhamdulillah that the chapter can finally be closed. It will be an awkward process of rerouting my journey now. :)
