For every single voice that you seek to silence, a million will speak in their place. My brief address at the National March on Washington today. This was dedicated to our brave student activists arbitrarily detained by ICE at the behest of Israel.

Muslims and Christians in Jordan have shared neighborhoods, friendships, joys, and sorrows for generations. This horrific attack violates that shared history and the sanctity of innocent life. May Allah comfort the grieving and heal the wounded. No innocent civilian should ever feel unsafe in a mosque, church, synagogue, or any place of worship, anywhere. Period. But I can’t help but question how “ISIS” repeatedly emerges at the worst moments with its savagery to tear our societies apart and feed the worst narratives that get turned into perpetual cycles of crimes against humanity.

While Trump vilifies Somali Americans and dehumanizes an entire community, a young man in Minnesota risked his life to save a school bus full of children. You'd be honored to have a Somali family as neighbors. Thank you Ebro Ahmed. May Allah bless and protect you.

The average American can't name 2 cities in Iran, but here we go again with the drums of war. Gas up 34% in a year. Inflation back. Housing out of reach. Yet Washington finds billions for war abroad. Americans are fed up, and they know who's pushing this country into war.

Work quietly. Don’t let the noise around you drown out the purpose within you. Work within your capacity. Don’t let what’s outside your control consume you. Work sincerely. Don’t let the approval of people become your obsession.

This is the hell on earth they call a “ceasefire”. Every single day, new bombings and new deaths, just a slower genocide. Imagine our news cycle if this was an Israeli child. May God comfort these children, and punish their oppressors. Ameen

ICE was never necessary. It didn’t exist for the first 227 years of this nation’s history. The agencies that preceded it, though imperfect, still miraculously managed immigration enforcement without black vans snatching people off the streets.

Listen to brother @omarsuleiman regarding the dressing up of language around the holy Al-aqsa mosque as "interfaith dialogue"- leading to more theft, occupation by Israel genocidal forces. Great historical context with Hebron mosque massacre by Baruch Goldstein-rewarded by the Israeli state Highly recommend listening Https://piped.video/OQAzl9vQfOY…

One of Islam’s holiest sites is about to be confiscated in the name of “sharing”.

First, Trump sanctioned ICC officials, now it’s the ICC itself. Rubio says it’s about protecting Americans from ICC jurisdiction. It's all about protecting Israel. An Israel-first government willing to do anything to protect Israel and itself from accountability for war crimes.

2023 was already the worst year of settler expansion before October 7th. Ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and occupation were pre-genocide realities that are now only worse. Ben Gvir proudly admitting that over 10,000 Palestinian buildings have been destroyed under his watch and that land the size of Tel Aviv has been stolen is exactly the type of stuff Western media and politicians have ignored for decades.

26 years to the day that we watched Jamal al-Durrah try to protect his 12-year-old son Muhammad from being shot and killed as he tried to hide by his side. Muhammad was killed a few minutes after this picture was taken. 23 years later, Israel killed Jamal’s brothers too.

Three years of seeing children ripped to pieces daily and shaking in terror, and the “civilized” world is still full of genocide deniers and apologists. A world order that fails children like this is a failed world order.

Nearly half of the UN General Assembly walked out as Netanyahu took the stage in New York. Imagine a world where war criminals like this coward are arrested and tried instead of facing symbolic consequences.

In 1993, while Sarajevo was under siege, my mother (rahimahallah) wrote a poem for a city she had never seen. It began: “O Sarajevo, I have wept for you, and in my hands remains nothing but tears.” Over the last few years, I’ve read her poem in different settings in Bosnia. Someone suggested placing it in a memorial to her and planting a tree as a sadaqa jariya for her. Today, alhamdulillah, that happened in Alija Izetbegovic Park, in front of Istiklal Mosque. The mosque was built by Indonesia in the 1990s as a gesture of solidarity with the people of Bosnia. It means so much to me that my mother’s words now have a place there. A Palestinian woman who saw her own people’s pain, and the Bosnian cause, as her own. Standing next to me in the first photo is the only son of Shaheed Safet Hadzic (rahimahullah), a Bosnian hero who was martyred defending this area. Thank you to Mayor Semir Efendic and everyone who helped make this possible, and to my brothers at Islamic Relief Canada, especially Emir Cacic and Tufail Husain, who followed through on this with so much care. Thank you also to Imam Edin and the community of Istiklal Mosque for welcoming my mother’s words. If you go to Bosnia, and you should, please visit the park, read her poem, and make dua for her and all of the martyrs of Bosnia that she shed those tears for.
