“The Muslim ummah are a unique ummah among the whole of mankind: Their land is ONE, their war is ONE, their peace is ONE, their honor is ONE, and their trust is ONE." -Prophet Muhammad (SAW)”

[mobeenhakeem]

Don’t allow yourself to get used to sadness. Don’t let darkness become normal. Always fight your pain no matter how hard it seems. If you let yourself accept it easily, eventually it becomes your default state. It becomes the starting point of every new day. You expect it from every situation and find it hard to believe when things are good. It becomes who you are. Never let that happen. Believe in yourself. You WILL get through it if you keep trying, inshaAllah. Never give up!

21-year-old, Dia'a Al-Talahmeh died today in the village of Khursa, near Hebron.

The Israeli army claims that Al-Talahmeh died while handling a makeshift explosive device. The Palestinian security officials say that he was shot dead by Israeli soldiers.

Rest in peace, Dia’a Abdel Halim Al-Talahmeh.

At Least 70 Dead Refugees Found in Truck on Austria Highway

The Number Of Dead Refugees Found Suffocated In An Abandoned Truck Was Officially Corrected To 70. The bodies were discovered on Thursday piled on top of each other in a cargo container in a vehicle parked off the highway in Burgenland state, already partly decomposed. It was not immediately clear how long the truck had been in the area, where temperatures in recent days had been as high as 90 degrees. Forensic teams were dealing with the discovery, with police initially only being able to say the vehicle was “full of bodies.“

Can we please give this attention? Please?? I see people on tumblr scream about donald trump and “deez nuts” who are literal jokes while this is happening! This isn’t just one thing! thousands of refugees are trying to escape the war in Syria, women are trying to escape the rape and abuse of IS and men are running away out of fear of IS. Please give this attention! 4 children died in there too. some EU countries are thinking of building walls around their country so the refugees can’t get in. This is a real thing going on. Refugees escape Syria only to float around on a small ass rubber boat with 100 other refugees IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DARK OCEAN. Most of the time they drown. And if they don’t drown, they TRY to find shelter in another country. Imagine you on a rubber small boat, with 100 other people in the middle of the dark ocean. You have no fucking idea if you’re going to survive but everything is better than staying in Syria.

I just want people on this website to realize what the fuck is happening in europe and the middle east at the moment. I just want things not to be centered around america and dumb ass political jokes. People are getting murdered, raped, assaulted and abducted & even when they try to escape, their chance on a good life is small.

Please reblog this people need to give this more attention on this website!!! My people are dying out and being oppressed, including children and old people but nobody on this website seems to give a shit about that!

People who say “religion is the opiate of the masses” need to take a look at pop culture.

This is fucking disgusting (source).

They literally stopped the whole show to make her leave. They put her in a position where the entire audience would blame her if the show didn’t go on, rather than blaming the islamophobic fuckers who refuse to preform just because a tourist chooses to have her face covered.

But hey, this is totally a “post-racial society!!! everyone is respected regardless of race or religion!!!”

"sexism isn’t even a thing anymore!! women can wear what they want!!!!"

 Non-Muslim Cold Lake citizens are rallying around their Muslim neighbour after the local mosque was vandalized.

Both front windows of the Cold Lake Mosque were broken and the words “go home” and “Canada” were spray-painted in red on the outside of the building sometime Thursday night.

"The writing hurts. This is my home, this is our home. This is the only home we have. Cold Lake is our home. Canada is our home," said mosque member Mahmoud El-Kadri, who discovered the vandalism about 6 a.m. Friday when he arrived to pray.

A steady stream of business leaders and citizens came in through the front door of the mosque Friday offering support. Members of the mosque later gathered posters, flowers and gifts from the community and displayed them by the windows that were smashed.

A group of citizens then came together to clean up and cover the graffiti that had been painted on the mosque.

Why I Hate the Images from Kabul and Syria to Boston.

April 20, 2013 By Grace Biskie 

When is it coming to get me?

When is breast cancer coming for me?

When is someone coming to shoot up my son’s elementary school?

When is a tornado ripping my house from root to roof?

When is a bomb blowing up the next race I’m training for?

It has hit home for me, yes.  But I’m keenly aware that people all over the world are bombarded with these when-am-I-next questions every. single. day.

I hate the image above.  And I hate the ‘To Boston from Kabul with Love’ image too. I hate them because of how ashamed they make me feel at my complete indifference to their vulnerability.  I hate the images because we haven’t sent them back. I hate that we’ve never sent a “From America with Love to Kabul!”

As an African-American I’ve lived with a greater sense of vulnerability for me & my black brothers.  And then I’ve watched some die.  Their vulnerability was not a ploy to misuse government funds.  As disconnected as they were from the surrounding white suburbs they were still every bit as vulnerable even when mistrusted & ignored.  There are gay kids living with this when-am-I-next type of vulnerability.  There are little girls everywhere living with when-am-I-next to be raped?  These realities exist whether we turn a blind eye or not.

As much as I hate the evil and mourn with the victims of the latest atrocities I believe this is a golden opportunity for us Average Joe Americans (and other 1st world citizens) to stand in solidarity not only with places like Syria but also with those who feel perpetually vulnerable in our own country day after day after day.

Growing up a poor kid in the inner city, I’ve felt that vulnerability.  I’ve seen what living as a perpetually vulnerable person or family does.  It’s destructive.  It’s ugly.  It’s hopeless.  I’ve also wrestled those gutted transactions between those who don’t believe in the vulnerability of others who show impatience and disgust.  Distrust of your words and motives and actual needs.

How can we extend greater grace & mercy to people who feel perpetually vulnerable?

Can we harness our current pain to invest in our world’s most vulnerable?

Can we use these horrible events as a catalyst to get off our lazy behinds and help the vulnerable within our immediate vicinity?

Can we pray for Boston and follow it with a prayer for Syria?

Can we stick “God Bless the World” stickers on our bumpers instead of “God Bless America?”

Can we pray for Waco, Texas and follow it with a prayer for all the unemployed & homeless in Detroit, Michigan?

Can we pray for God’s peace and grace to rest heavily on Afghanistan?  On Chechnya?

Can we extend more patience to those on food stamps?

Can we give more grace to people you typically don’t trust for one reason or another?

These tragedies are giving us sheltered Americans & 1st world countries a mutual experience by which to understand more deeply fellow human beings all over the world.

May we steward it well.

And to my brothers & sisters in Syria & Kabul I have a message for you:(last image above)

Join me & my children this morning in praying for Shalom on earth.

Arabs have consciously/ subconsciously created a culture in Islam that measures virtue, modesty, and spirituality through a standard that elevates Arab culture above all others

[youdontneedtofollowme]

Western Europeans did the same with Christianity.  If there’s a pattern here it might be in the intersection of religion and cultural exceptionalism (and later nationalism).

The first and the oldest university in the whole world was founded by a Moroccan Muslim woman; Fatima Al-Fihri in 841 CE. University of al-Qarawiyyin Fez, Morocco.

Again, Muslim women have no rights? Are being oppressed?

How many ears must one person have before he can hear people cry?

And how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?

And how many years can some people exist before they are allowed to be free?

And how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see?
