I'm a master of speaking silently—all my life I've spoken silently and I've lived through entire tragedies in silence.

Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there's no room for the present at all.

Sometimes, our hearts are so full of emotions that it becomes difficult to articulate them. It's like our feelings have a mind of their own, but our words fail to capture their intensity. If you cannot donate the money the best you can do for Palestine is to pray. Please make lots of sincere du'as
Prophet ﷺ said: “Know that Allah does not answer a du'a from an inattentive heart.” [At-Tirmidhi #3479]
رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِم صَبْراً وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَهُم وَٱنصُرْهُم عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
Rabbana afrigh ‘alayhim sabran wa thabbit aqdaamahum wansurhum ‘ala al-qawm al-kafireen
Our Lord! Shower them with perseverance, make their steps firm, and give them victory over the disbelieving people.
Inspired by verse 250 of Surah al-Baqarah, this du'a reminds us that Allah is always with us, penetrating our hearts with firmness and tranquility.
