by Dr. Osman Latiff.
Explore how faith transforms suffering into resilience and hope, even in the darkest times. Read here: sapienceinstitute.org/gaza-and-suffe… As a response to those who ask, ‘Where is God?’ in the genocide unleashed on Gaza, this essay posits that Gaza has shown the world, even under the weight of intense suffering, that their faith in a Supreme, Just, and Transcendent God remains steadfast. They confront a world increasingly marked by godlessness and faithlessness, revealing that it is belief in God and a continual turning to Him that sustains them. In the face of global indifference, Gazans respond with remarkable acts of kindness, empathy, and mercy, even for those suffering alongside them, and this reaction to the suffering inflicted on them has led to many people choosing to embrace Islam. For a people who have endured relentless suffering, the ability to still teach the world through the grace and resilience they show speaks to the profound strength found in Islam’s outlook on life. Despite enduring an unfathomable scale of violence, they display inner strength rooted in the remembrance of Allah, which fosters deep cognitive and spiritual resilience.
