Islamic Reminders

Footballer Anwar El Ghazi has won his case against his former club Mainz 05 after they terminated his contract over his support for Palestine. A german court found that the player was unfairly dismissed and the club has been ordered to pay El Ghazi’s salary for the nine months since his dismissal on November 3, 2023. This totals €1.7million. El Ghazi's contract was ended on November 3 because of a post on his Instagram story supporting Palestinians. Mainz first suspended El Ghazi in October, calling his stance on the war "unacceptable." They lifted the suspension after a few days, warning him and saying he showed "remorse." But later, El Ghazi posted that he did not "regret" or "distance himself" from his comments and stood for "humanity." May Allah reward him for his efforts and continue to shower blessings on him.

July 11th marks the anniversary of the #Srebrenica Genocide where 8372+ Bosnian Muslims were executed by Serbian forces, purely because of their faith. Most of them were young men and boys, they were buried in mass graves, and some of there are bodies are still being discovered. May Allāh grant them the highest ranks in Jannah and bring their oppressors to justice.

World leaders have condemned the bombing of a Ukranian children’s hospital by Russian forces, where at least 44 people died. British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer said "attacking innocent children" was "the most depraved of actions", and US President Joe Biden called the strikes a "horrific reminder of Russia's brutality". The very same leaders have been arming the Israeli occupation forces who have bombed at least 24 hospitals in Gaza since October 7th, and a countless number of schools and refugee shelters.

A recent study by a leading medical journal, Lancet, find that the death toll in Gaza could exceed 186,000. The study adds that factors like diseases will lead to more indirect deaths in the long run, even if the ongoing genocide stops now. Such a number would represent almost 8% of Gaza's population of 2.3 million.

Israeli news outlet Haaretz, finally admits that the Israeli occupation forces ordered the 'Hannibal Directive' on October 7th. The 'Hannibal Directive' is a protocol which allows the Israeli occupation forces to target and kill its own citizens to prevent them being kidnapped.

Today marks the 1st of Muḥarram, which means it is the beginning of the new Islamic year. The start of the Islamic calendar was set by ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه, who based the first year when the Prophet ﷺ migrated (made Hijrah) from Makkah to Madīnah. It is now 1446 years since the Prophet ﷺ's migration to Madīnah, however the date of the Hijrah is not linked with the 1st of Muḥarram. Al-Muḥarram [ٱلْمُحَرَّم] means forbidden, it is one of the months when fighting is forbidden. Narrated Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, “The most excellent fast after Ramaḍān is Allāhs month, al-Muḥarram, and the most excellent prayer after what is prescribed is prayer during the night.” [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1163a]

O Allāh! Lord over all authorities! You give authority to whoever You please and remove it from who You please; You honour whoever You please and disgrace who You please - all good is in Your Hands. Surely You alone are Most Capable of everything. [Sūrah Āli ʿImrān, Verse 26]

The Messenger firmly believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. They all believe in Allāh, His angels, His Books, and His messengers. They proclaim, “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our Lord! And to You˹alone is the final return.” [Sūrah al-Baqarah, Verse 285]

‏اللهم انت ربي لا اله الا انت ‏ خلقتني وأنا عبدك ‏ وأنا على عهدك ووعدك ما استطعت ‏ أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت ‏ أبوء لك بنعمتك علي ‏ وأبوء بذنبي فاغفر لي ‏ فإنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت

The Messenger firmly believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. They all believe in Allāh, His angels, His Books, and His messengers. They proclaim, “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our Lord! And to You alone is the final return.” Allāh does not burden any soul with more than it can bear. All good will be for its own benefit, and all evil will be to its own loss. The believers pray, “Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord! Do not place a burden on us like the one you placed on those before us. Our Lord! Do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our only Guardian. So grant us victory over the disbelieving people.” [Sūrah al-Baqarah, Verse 285-286]

An Iranian woman by the name of Bahar Mahroo recorded herself pulling the hijab off Muslim women around West London and posted on her social media accounts. She also posted on X: “Just as you take democracy away from us in Iran and force us to wear headscarves, since we have democracy in this country, we’ll pull off those very headscarves from you.” A quick glance through her social media content shows she supports the Israeli zionist occupation.

‎حسبي الله لا إلـه إلا هو عليه توكلت وهو رب العرش العظيم ‎[ḥasbiy Allāhu lā ilāha illā huw ʿalayhi tawakkaltu wahuwa rabbu l-ʿarshi l-ʿaẓīm] ‎Allāh is enough for me: there is no god but Him; I put my trust in Him; He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne

O Allah, remover of distress and worry, acceptor of the prayers of the troubled, All Merciful in the world and the hereafter and the Most Merciful in them both. Only You can have mercy upon me, so show me such mercy that will free me from the need for mercy from everyone but You.
