https://www.instagram.com/p/DEg-imBIVMa/ A video circulating online has sparked outrage in Dubai, showing a woman wearing a burqa dining with her partner. The controversy arises not just from the filming itself but also from alleged mocking comments heard in the background, seemingly made by the person recording. Though the exact conversation is unclear, the video has triggered widespread anger. Social media users have condemned the act, tagging Dubai Police and demanding strict action against those involved. Filming individuals, particularly local women, without their consent is illegal in the UAE and carries harsh penalties. The video quickly gained traction online, prompting a response from Dubai Police. In Arabic, they stated: "May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Please note that the matter has been referred to the relevant authority. Thank you for contacting us."

Reminder: Tomorrow is Monday. The Prophet ﷺ used to fast on Mondays. Abū Qatāda al-Anṣārī رضي الله عنه reported that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: ‎It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me. ‎[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1162e]

The US Department of State has informed Congress about an $8 billion arms sale to Israel, pending approval from House and Senate committees. The proposed package includes missiles, artillery shells, and other munitions. The announcement comes a little over two weeks before President Joe Biden is set to leave office. Washington has dismissed calls to halt military aid to Israel despite concerns over the civilian casualties during the Gaza conflict. In August, the US authorized a $20 billion sale of fighter jets and other military hardware to Israel. The latest package reportedly includes air-to-air missiles, Hellfire missiles, artillery shells, and bombs, according to a US official. President Biden has consistently described US support for Israel as unwavering.

Palestinian photojournalist Omar Salah Al Dirawi was killed alongside his parents in a bombing by the Israeli genocidal regime that targeted his home in central Gaza.

🚨 The Swiss 'Burqa Ban' came in to effect starting 1st January 2025. Anyone wearing the 'Burqa' in public faces a fine of 1,000 Swiss Francs ($1,100 USD). In 2021, Swiss people narrowly voted in favour of banning face coverings in public, including the burka and niqab worn by Muslim women. Results showed the measure had passed by 51.2% to 48.8% in a referendum. The measure involves a prohibition on covering the nose, mouth, and eyes in both public spaces and private buildings accessible to the public. However, there are some exceptions. The ban does not apply to planes or in diplomatic and consular premises, and faces may also be covered in places of worship and other sacred sites. Facial coverings will remain permitted for reasons relating to health and safety, for native customs, or due to weather conditions, it said. They would also be allowed on artistic and entertainment grounds and for advertising. #islam #muslim #hijab #burqa #niqab
