The brave journalists who report from Palestine are being targeted. Many have been killed. We must not allow the suffering of Gaza to be forgotten. We must keep the issue alive. We must continue to support them in their hour of need. Keep protesting against the injustice.

There are many lessons for us from Gaza today. The courageous people of Gaza are showing remarkable courage and faith in Allah. They have no armies, navies or air forces to help them. They are all alone, yet are winning over the hearts and minds of so many non-Muslims around the world.

“Every tribulation in life is a test from Allah. The greater the test, the greater the reward. That is why the highest places in Al Jannah Firidaws are reserved for the Prophets, the martyrs and the doers of good deeds. We should remember this regarding the crisis in Gaza.
