Coconut POACHING!
Illegal expats working on a fishing vessel, living in Ga.Villigili, are going around our islands filling sacks with coconuts and leaves.
This is outright THEFT of community resources. Stealing from locals in broad daylight while living among us.
This has to stop
🚨🚨| The entire football world is behind Jamal Musiala. ❤️
Bayern president Uli Hoeneß raised concerns over the midfielder's health over the weekend, questioning whether he will ever return to his previous level.
🗣️ “We're in a dilemma with him. He has an illness that cannot simply be cured, but can be managed to some extent with medication.
Whether he will ever regain the level of performance he once had remains uncertain.
He is still receiving his salary, of course. But just imagine if FC Bayern were now to question his contract and say: ‘What he is capable of delivering now is no longer what was stipulated in the contract.’”
Musiala was revealed to be receiving treatment for a neurological dysfunction in the summer, following two collapses on the pitch. He has also been dealing with an injury that has kept him out for a significant part of the season. 🏥
We've all seen what Jamal is capable of. He's one of the most exciting young talents in football, and hopefully he can overcome this difficult period and return to his very best. ❤️
To Muslims across the East and West: Is it not time for you to wake up?
O Muslims, look at the children of Gaza, surrounded by floodwaters on every side. Some cling to one another, desperately searching for a place where they can keep their heads above water.
Look closely at these little faces, bearing the combined weight of the fear of war, the bitter cold of winter, and the humiliation of displacement.
With what kind of heart can we witness such scenes and then carry on with our daily lives as though nothing has happened? What meaning does the brotherhood of faith retain if it cannot protect a child from drowning, shelter a family from homelessness, or feed a starving person exhausted by the siege?
Our Islamic jurists have established that protecting the vulnerable from harm and coming to the aid of those in distress are collective obligations (Fard Kifayah). When the duty becomes incumbent upon those capable of fulfilling it, or when people fail to discharge it, responsibility falls upon those who have the ability to alleviate the suffering.
This Muslim Ummah, with all its nations, wealth, institutions, scholars and people, possesses the means of support, humanitarian relief and political influence necessary to make the continuation of these tragedies a moral and religious question that confronts everyone capable of taking action, according to their position and responsibility.
The brotherhood established by the Qur'an in the words of Allah Almighty:
"The believers are but brothers" (Qur'an 49:10), entails rights and responsibilities, foremost among them the protection of human life, the preservation of dignity, and the relief of hunger and fear among those afflicted by disaster.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
"The believers, in their mutual love, mercy and compassion, are like one body: when one part of it suffers, the rest of the body responds with sleeplessness and fever." (Reported by Muslim.)
O people of Islam, if you do not wake up today to address the plight of your brothers and sisters in Gaza, then when will you awaken? If these calamities do not stir your consciences, what greater disaster are you waiting for?
It is the responsibility of scholars to awaken people's awareness and clarify their religious duties. It is the responsibility of governments to mobilise their political, economic and humanitarian resources to bring this tragedy to an end. It is the responsibility of those blessed with wealth to give generously. And it is the responsibility of the people to stand together and exert pressure through legitimate and peaceful means, until humanitarian aid reaches those who desperately need it and the lives and dignity of innocent people are protected.
We are facing a genuine test of the sincerity of our faith, the wisdom of our politics, and the justice of our positions.
A day will come when each of us will ask ourselves:
What did I do when the children of Gaza were crying out for help?
O Allah, bear witness that we are calling upon our Ummah to fulfil its obligations towards the oppressed and vulnerable, to restore the true meaning of Islamic brotherhood, to reinstate the duty of supporting those in need, and to allow mercy to once again govern our hearts and our decisions.
Wake up! The children of Gaza deserve to live, and the responsibility of standing by them is far too great to be left to tears alone.
Failing to help them means effectively helping the enemy against them, and we too will bear a grave burden of responsibility.
O Allah, grant us the ability to help them. Do not abandon them, and do not let us be among those who abandon them. Ameen.
