I almost never share my dreams, but today I’ll make an exception.
Throughout my life, even when I dreamt of Palestine, there were always Israeli soldiers in the background because those were the images I’ve grown up with.
Then a month ago, I dreamt that my father was showing my family around our village in Tulkarem, where he was born before the occupation. He was showing us his trees and crops with such joy and nostalgia that my words could never capture. But the most beautiful part of the dream was what wasn’t there. No soldiers or settlers.
Then last night, I had another beautiful dream about Palestine. And for the first time in my life, I dreamt of Al-Aqsa itself without soldiers in the background.
I don’t know what this means for me personally, though I have my prayers of what I hope to see in my own lifetime. I also don’t claim to be a pious person sharing these dreams as some sort of new prophecy. I don’t need a dream to tell me how this story ends. While I long to pray in that Masjid one day and pick olives from the trees that generations of my family cared for before the colonizers came, I already fully believe with certainty that Palestine will be freed one day InshaAllah.
But amid devastation so overwhelming that can pull the heart to despair, these dreams profoundly warmed mine. And so I chose to share them, praying that anyone else who has grown up carrying this trauma might find some solace in them, while also recognizing that those who have lived beneath the occupation have endured its pain and cruelty in ways the rest of us can never fully comprehend.
You cannot commit genocide in Gaza, invade Lebanon, destroy Syria and Yemen, violate Iraqi airspace, bomb Iranian nuclear power plants, violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty, then hide behind anti-Semitism and the Holocaust.
This is totally prohibited in Islam and such people who take the law into their own hands must be brought to justice and tried as criminals for their crimes.
@king_pearxe Sometime ago, I said instead of spending all time and efforts to protect the girl child, we should divert that energy into educating and disciplining the boy child because that's the only protection these girls/women needs.
I bet many of us almost forgot this
When it rains, we're supposed to say a short nice dua, but I'm feeling 🫵 you've forgotten 👀

Short and simple

@Jimmythemook16@Citizen_D_Monde@rshereme@UN Just because it has been a Muslim country doesn't mean somethings they do is Islamic
Go read about Islam before you come here and start ranting
Du’as to recite between two sujood:
Rabbighfirli - My Lord, forgive me
Warhamni - Love me
Wajburni - Cover my shame
Warfa'ni - Raise my rank
Warzuqni - Give me sustenance
Wahdini - Give me guidance
Wa'afini - Make me healthy
