“The Palestinians are showing the world their extraordinary courage and bravery. Most Muslim rulers are doing too little to help them. But what about you and me? What excuse do we have? We pray and we share our WhatsApp messages and videos. But is that all we can do? On the day of Judgement, those messages and videos may well become a witness against us…”

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.

The unfolding crisis in Gaza has exposed the hypocrisy of those who support the rights of Israelis and Ukrainians but ignore the same rights of Palestinians.

“After 9/11, the Qur’an became an instant bestseller, though at the time many Americans purchased it to confirm biases they held about Islam being an inherently violent religion. “The difference is that in this moment, people are not turning to the Qur’an to understand the October 7 attack by Hamas,” Grewal said. “They are turning to the Qur’an to understand the incredible resilience, faith, moral strength and character they see in Muslim Palestinians.”
