When a people does not write their own history, others will do it for them, in their own way.

To prove the need for justice and fairness is either superfluous for those who have a heart or useless for those who do not.

The greatest figure of Islam is the Shahid, who is a fighter in God’s way, a saint and a warrior in one person.

A small nation once found itself faced with the same dramatic choice: to bow its head, or to hold it proudly aloft—to be slaves, or to remain free people. The poet of that nation responded with these famous words: I swear to God Almighty that we shall not be slaves.

It is upon us to do as much as our means allow. We cannot get tired and weary with grief because then we will lose sight of the end goal. We should make Dua in every sajdah, those who can pray an extra 2 rak’at should do so, those who can wake up at night to pray or make Dua should do so, those who can donate should do so. We need to b*ycott all brands that support this war. We have more power than we think. We need to stay informed but not to the point that drives us to collapse. We need to educate ourselves on this conflict so we can hold sound discussions with outsiders. We need to defend the truth with wisdom, our behaviour will be even more telling than our words. What would our Palestinian siblings think of us? Nothing is ever hopeless with Allah (swt) on our side. Dua can change the world, many oppressors have tread this earth and have now been long forgotten, people that live and die with honour will leave their traces with their virtue immortalised, we may not be among them but we at least want to be on their side. So what we do now matters greatly.

“Enemies might triumph over Gaza, They might break her bones, They might implant tanks on the insides of her children and women, They might throw her into the sea, sand, or blood.But she will not repeat lies and say “Yes” to invaders, She will continue to explode, It is neither death, nor suicide. It is Gaza’s way of declaring that she deserves to live.”

“It is easy to blur the truth with a simple linguistic trick: start your story from “Secondly”. Yes, this is what Rabin did. He simply neglected to speak of what happened first. Start your story with “Secondly,” and the world will be turned upside-down. Start your story with “Secondly,” and the arrows of the Red Indians are the original criminals and the guns of the white men are entirely the victim. It is enough to start with “Secondly,” for the anger of the black man against the white to be barbarous. Start with “Secondly,” and Gandhi becomes responsible for the tragedies of the British. You only need to start your story with “Secondly,” and the burned Vietnamese will have wounded the humanity of the napalm, and Victor Jara’s songs will be the shameful thing and not Pinochet’s bullets, which killed so many thousands in the Santiago stadium. It is enough to start the story with “Secondly,” for my grandmother, Umm ‘Ata, to become the criminal and Ariel Sharon her victim.”
