A remarkable story of forgiveness from Saudi Arabia’s Asir region has touched hearts across the Muslim world.

Sheikh Yahya bin Qans Al-Bashri Al-Qahtani made the extraordinary decision to forgive the man responsible for the death of his son, Bandar - seeking neither blood money nor capital punishment.

His reason was simple yet profound: he learned that the young man was the only son and sole caregiver of his elderly, severely ill mother.

Sheikh Yahya personally visited the family home and announced his pardon in front of the frail mother. Overcome with emotion, she was brought to tears upon hearing that her son had been spared.

The grieving father later declared that he would not accept a single riyal for his son’s murder, saying that he seeks his reward from Allah alone.

May Allah have mercy on Bandar, grant him the highest ranks in Jannah, and abundantly reward Sheikh Yahya for act of forgiveness.

A Transport for London worker has helped prevent at least 34 people from taking their own lives.

Rizwan Javed, who works across London’s rail network, has repeatedly stepped in to support people in crisis, helping them get to safety through simple conversations and a willingness to listen.

He received suicide prevention training through the charity Samaritans, where he learned how to recognise the signs that someone may need help. He says many of the life-saving interventions started with something as simple as asking, “Are you okay?”

Rizwan has also used his platform to encourage more open conversations around mental health and break down the stigma surrounding the topic.

There is now clear evidence that the Great Israeli Real Estate event had unlawful activity at it.

I've written to the Mayor of London to ask what he intends to do about it.

This needs to be escalated immediately.

Ahead of today’s first World Cup game, Bosnian legend Edin Džeko writes a letter to the children of Bosnia, reflecting on what it meant to survive war as a child and on the horrors still unfolding in the world today:

“In the end, we survived. Looking back, I’m amazed at how strong we were. We were just little kids. But there was no point to the war. All those innocent people killed, and for what?
For money. Power. Ego. 
For nothing. 
When there is war on the news today, I feel sick.
I don’t want to see it anywhere.
For some reason, adults never learn.” https://t.co/wPzzjylNLL

A heroic teacher was stabbed in the neck as he rushed to protect pupils in a Manchester high school.

Maysum Abdullah put himself in harms way to stop a 14-year-old schoolgirl who had begun to attack other students with a knife.

His wife Saima said, "My husband entered teaching to make a positive difference in young people's lives and he is truly a hero for protecting and safeguarding those children.

"Our prayers are with the other two pupils who also suffered injuries and to all the students and staff who witnessed such a traumatic event.

Maysum was discharged from hospital and is now recovering at home.

The girl has since been charged with three counts of attempted murder and will appear in court.

A man was violently stabbed to death.
The murderer was arrested and convicted.
One of the murderer's family members was also convicted of aiding and abetting him.
No, I am not talking about poor Henry Nowak; I am talking about poor Mohammed Algassim, a Saudi Arabian student, here to learn English, who was murdered in Cambridge by a drunken, coked-up, white Englishman.
If you are astute enough to go to the BBC News website, then click on "England",
then click on "Local News",
then click on "East"
then click on "Cambridge"
you will find a report on it...

The Chief Justice of India is currently in London. At his first public appearance (Univ of London) he faced a question on hostility to dissent in India & his remarks describing Indian youth, journos & RTI activists as cockroaches & parasites. #CJP #NEET

Chief Justice of India is being heckled in the UK for calling India’s youth ‘cockroaches’! Unfortunately for the Chief Justice, Modi or Amit Shah don’t control London police.

Muhammad Al-Qasim, a 20 year-old student from Saudi Arabia was was studying in Cambridge, was stabbed to death last year in an unprovoked attack by Chas Corrigan.

At Cambridge Crown Court, Corrigan was sentenced to life, to serve a minimum term of 22 years and six months in prison after he was found guilty of murder at an earlier trial.

Corrigan's father, Peter Corrigan, was also jailed for two years after pleading guilty to assisting an offender after concealing high-visibility clothing that his son had been wearing at the time of the attack.

Muhammad al-Qasim used to volunteer and help out at the Masjid al-Ḥarām.
