Ask them, O Prophet, “To whom belong the earth and all those on it, if you really know?” They will reply, “To Allah!” Say, “Why are you not then mindful?” And ask them, “Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Mighty Throne?” They will reply, “Allāh.” Say, “Will you not then fear Him?” Ask them also, “In Whose Hands is the authority over all things, protecting all while none can protect against Him, if you really know?” They will reply, “Allāh.” Say, “How are you then so deluded?” In fact, We have brought them the truth, and they are certainly liars. Allāh has never had any offspring, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what he created, and they would have tried to dominate one another. Glorified is Allah above what they claim! He is the Knower of the seen and unseen. Exalted is He above what they associate with Him. [Sūrah al-Muʾminūn, Verse 84-92]

Rapper Macklemore has been removed from the remaining U.S. dates of Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour after speaking out in support of Palestine. During his September 4 performance at MetLife Stadium, Macklemore told the crowd that a major reason he wanted to join the tour was to use the platform to say “Free Palestine.” He also expressed solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank and performed his protest song Hind’s Hall while images of destruction in Gaza were displayed. His comments sparked backlash from several pro-Isr*aeli groups, which launched a petition calling for his removal from the tour.

Macklemore later said that he and Sheeran had “difficult conversations” following the controversy. He alleged that stadium owners had pressured Sheeran to remove him, while Sheeran has not publicly commented on the decision.

O Allāh, if You ease my path, then it is Your generosity. And if You slow my steps, then it is Your protection. Keep my heart firm in knowing that Your decree is always better than my desire.
