On this day, exactly 10 years ago, the Israeli occupation forces bombed and killed four young boys who were playing football at a beach in Gaza. The boys: Ismail Mohammed Bakr (9), Zakaria Ahed Bakr (10), Ahed Atef Bakr (10), Mohamed Ramez Bakr (11), were all cousins and their killings were witnessed by journalists who were at a hotel only a few hundred metres away. After international condemnation from certain media outlets, the Israeli forces held an ‘investigation’, however Israel decided that it was not guilty of the crimes it committed. Israel has been committing war crimes against the Palestinians for over 75 years, this is nothing new.

The Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ also marks the day in which the Grandson of the Prophet ﷺ Al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī رضي الله عنه was martyred in Karbala. We ask Allāh to grant him company with our beloved Prophet ﷺ, and to raise his status above that which is falsely attibuted to him.

Muḥarram 10th is the Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ, which marks the day Allāh saved Mūsā عليه السلام and his people from the oppressive Pharaoh. Ibn al-ʿAbbās رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ arrived in Madīnah and found the Jews observing fast on the day of ʿĀshūrāʾ. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to them: What is the significance of this day that you observe fast on it? They said: It is the day of great (significance) when Allāh delivered Mūsā and his people, and drowned the Pharaoh and his people, and Moses observed fast out of gratitude and we also observe it. Upon this the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: We have more right, and we have a closer connection with Moses than you have; so Allāh's Messenger ﷺ observed fast (on the day of ʿĀshūrāʾ), and gave orders that it should be observed. [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1130c]

My Lord! Inspire me to always be thankful for Your favours which You blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please You. And instil righteousness in my offspring. I truly repent to You, and I truly submit to Your Will. [Sūrah al-ʾAḥqāf, Verse 15]

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.

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.
