عن رسول الله ﷺ قال: إذا مات ولد العبد، قال الله لملائكته: قبضتم ولد عبدي؟ فيقولون: نعم، فيقول: قبضتم ثمرة فؤاده؟ فيقولون: نعم، فيقول: فماذا قال عبدي؟ فيقولون: حمدك، واسترجع، فيقول الله تعالى: ابنوا لعبدي بيتًا في الجنة، وسموه: بيت الحمد.🌾
To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.
And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.
Saint Porphyrius Church, built in 1150 and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.
It's not an accident.
Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.
Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.
It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.
Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.
But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.
There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.
Traditions they've carried for centuries.
So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.
Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.
لمَّا اشتدَّ على المسلمِين يوم الخندقِ: قالوا يا رسولَ الله، هل من شيءٍ نقوله؟ فقد بلغتِ القلوبُ الحنَاجر! قال: نعم، قولوا: «اللَّهمَّ استُر عوراتِنا، وآمِن روعاتِنا.»
قال: فضرب الله عزَّ وجلّ وجوه أعدائِهم بالرَّيح، فهزمهم الله عز وجلَّ بالرِّيح.
