We, a network of Muslim women scholars, teachers, and da’iyas, are horrified by recent criminal allegations that have come to light against a prominent Qur’an teacher.
Please read our preliminary statement below:

May Allah (SWT) grant us all the guidance we need to worship him (SWT) without associating him (SWT) with anything or anyone. May Allah (SWT) protect us and our children from the ways of the shaydān.
i beg you all. while it's important to talk about palestine, please don't ignore what's happening in congo. congo barely has any media coverage, we need to talk about it more.
Wallahi this situation in Palestine has completely altered the way I view this life. the western world, the entertainment industry, politics, religion, people we surround ourselves with, my akhira, social media, down to what I consume. this world really is a prison for believers.
I do not understand how this isn’t even news anymore, no western media outlets are even reporting the continuous airstrikes against hospitals and schools in gaza. These are war crimes being committed every single day.
i can’t even begin to fathom the loss, and i cannot comprehend how anyone can look at the scenes coming out of Gaza and still find a way to justify the genocide, the level of depraved inhumanity it must require to be so apathetic and violent and evil
i don’t think enough Americans understand how literal it is when Palestinians describe what is happening to them. settler colonialism is not being used metaphorically. having their homes stolen is not just what it feels like it’s what it is.
I cannot begin to imagine the pain of the Palestinians - they are collecting what they can find of their families in bags, they are digging for each other in rubble, they are adopting children left alone in this world, they are taking time to save animals and continue to
Dear world,
Israel just bombed a Christian hospital in Gaza and murdered over 500 Palestinian civilians. White phosphorus chemical bombs confirmed by human rights watch was not enough to open your eyes. Over 1000 dead children wasn’t enough. Will you open your eyes and act now?
We are shocked and disturbed to learn that a landlord in Chicago expressing anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian views broke into a Muslim family's apartment and attacked them with a knife, injuring the mother and killing her 6-year-old son, Wadea Al-Fayoume. @cairchicago will hold a press conference this afternoon to share more details, God willing. The Islamophobic rhetoric and anti-Palestinian racism being spread by politicians, media outlets, and social media platforms must stop. Now. #Palestine #Israel #Islamophobia #Wadea
Evacuation orders by Israel to hospitals in northern Gaza are a death sentence for the sick and injured
As the @UN's agency responsible for public health, the World Health Organization (WHO) strongly condemns Israel's repeated orders for the evacuation of 22 hospitals treating more than 2000 inpatients in northern Gaza. The forced evacuation of patients and health workers will further worsen the current humanitarian and public health catastrophe.
The lives of many critically ill and fragile patients hang in the balance: those in intensive care or who rely on life support; patients undergoing hemodialysis; newborns in incubators; women with complications of pregnancy, and others all face imminent deterioration of their condition or death if they are forced to move and are cut off from life-saving medical attention while being evacuated.
Health facilities in northern Gaza continue to receive an influx of injured patients and are struggling to operate beyond maximum capacity. Some patients are being treated in corridors and outdoors in surrounding streets due to a lack of hospital beds.
Forcing more than 2000 patients to relocate to southern Gaza, where health facilities are already running at maximum capacity and unable to absorb a dramatic rise in the number patients, could be tantamount to a death sentence.
Hospital directors and health workers are now facing an agonizing choice: abandon critically ill patients amid a bombing campaign, put their own lives at risk while remaining on site to treat patients, or endanger their patients’ lives while attempting to transport them to facilities that have no capacity to receive them.
Overwhelmingly, caregivers have chosen to stay behind and honor their oaths as health professionals to “do no harm,” rather than risk moving their critically ill patients during evacuations. Health workers should never have to make such impossible choices.
Additionally, tens of thousands of displaced people in northern Gaza are seeking refuge in open spaces in or around hospitals, treating them as havens from violence as well as to protect the facilities from potential attacks. Their lives, too, are at risk when health facilities are bombed.
There are verified reports of deaths of health care workers and destruction of health facilities, which denies civilians the basic human right of life-saving health care and is prohibited under International Humanitarian Law.
WHO calls for Israel to immediately reverse evacuation orders to hospitals in northern Gaza, and calls for the protection of health facilities, health workers, patients, and civilians.
WHO also reiterates its calls for the immediate and safe delivery of medical supplies, fuel, clean water, food, and other humanitarian aid into Gaza through the Rafah crossing, where life-saving assistance, including WHO health supplies that arrived earlier today, is currently awaiting entry.
