My first surprise when reading the Qur'an for the first time, was to find out that Muslims believed in God! Call me ignorant, but that was the first big lesson and quite the opposite of what I expected. I had some kind of idea that, maybe like Christianity, they worshipped Muhammad or perhaps mountains, moons or astral bodies; never in my wildest imaginary excursions did I ever suspect that I would find the name of God in the Qur’an. I had heard the name ‘Allah’ being pronounced and referred to as some kind of Arab deity, never having been told that it was the same original Semitic name for God as found and printed in every Arabic Bible.

Many people in the streets with nowhere to go to. Long lines of people waiting to get bread.
Anyone from outside Gaza that feels entitled to message me and say don’t post certain things is getting blocked. Stop messaging me from your comfort zone, this is our reality. You have no say in this. If our suffering makes you uncomfortable, imagine how it makes us feel.
Reporting from the middle area where a residential tower was bombed. Many of the dead and injured were taken to the hospital. Volunteers search under the rubble for survivors and victims
There is a genocide of Palestinians going on & it is utterly condemnable to see how the powerful are allowing it to happen with impunity. Israel is being allowed to break all international laws as it commits war crimes & crimes against humanity in its massacre of the Palestinian people. The Muslim world must not just raise their voice against this but should move to ensure an end to the #GazaGenocide.
Our people will not forgive us if we do not stand on the side of justice and humanity.

A year has passed since the assassination attempt on Chairman Imran Khan’s life. In these 365 days, neither an FIR could be registered as was his legal right, nor a transparent investigation was conducted. Instead of dispensing justice, the state has been protecting and facilitating the perpetrators. If the chain of events is looked at, the brazen manner in which the masterminds of the assassination attempt have been given a clean chit is enough to tell the whole story of complicity. #NeverForgetNov3

Over the hours, the New York Times subtly changes its headline multiple times to absolve Israel of any blame.
We are watching in real time how consent gets manufactured.

No force can destroy an idea whose time has come no matter how much coercion, oppression and victimisation is carried out to suppress it.
King of Trees: the man who started to plant 10 billion trees in Pakistan is being forcibly cut down. But he still has faith. May God support him and the future generations of the Clean Earth (literally the meaning of Pakistan)

The arrest of Imran Khan on charges of corruption is so clearly unjustified. The majority of balance-minded Muslims know that the politics of Pakistan has for years been allowing corruption to flourish in the shadows, behind party doors. Now someone has risen who speaks out against it, we are forced to watch the charade continue as he is locked up. If those who orchestrated this premeditated ‘coup’ have any faith at all, they should know that God, the Seer of all things, is not unaware; they should repent and set him free immediately. #ImranKhan
