Gaza crisis : holding your faith in these difficult situations

By Dr Hossam Roushdi

Palestine has already won

By Atif Jung

Do not for a moment think that Allah’s religion will be defeated. The enemies of Islam are waging an unwinnable war. They may advance a bit here and there, but Allah’s promise is true: The unbelievers seek to blow out Allah’s light, but Allah will protect His light, even though the unbelievers will detest it…

Gaza: are we delaying the help of Allah?

By Basharat Ali
The Quran warns us against hypocrisy. This is no trivial matter, it’s very serious: “O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do?

Gaza genocide: Must we all repent for Allah’s help to arrive?

By Basharat Ali

“You and I are tiny individual pixels in that 1.8 billion-pixel picture that is the worldwide Muslim Ummah. If all of us move in harmony, together, we can be an unstoppable force. We should exert ourselves to support what is right and to forbid what is wrong. Allah will surely hold us to account..”
