رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا
Raḍītu billāhi rabban, wa bil-Islāmi dīnan, wa bi-Muḥammadin rasūlan.
I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad ﷺ as my Messenger.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Paradise becomes obligatory for him.”
(Sunan Abi Dawud 1529)
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
