41:34 'The good deed and the evil deed are not equal. Repel by that which is better; then behold, the one between whom and thee there is enmity shall be as if he were a loyal, protecting friend.
Repel anger with patience.
Repel error with truth.
Repel ignorance with clemency.
Repel evil with good.
What can we do while we sit in our homes? We do not surrender to the opposing narrative or accept falsehood over truth. THIS IS THE KEY BIT - READ IT TWICE - We do however avoid reciprocating harm whenever such avoidance will not lead to greater evil. ⬅️
We can engage with the narrative and counter it where we see fit. The following verse suggests this is done through patience. 43:35 'Yet none shall receive it, save those who are patient; and none shall receive it, save those who possess great fortune.' - great patience, great discernment and great insight.
Let's not react and then retract. 💔
Let's educate ourselves more to counter false narratives. 🩷
Let's find a unified voice so we can be heard. 🩷
Let's find peace for future generations for the children Ameen. They need to live in safety. 🩷
As much as we fill up with tears and anger we have to think about how to put good back in the world. We have to think about the future of the Palestinian people and all the other Muslims around the world who are now also becoming targets for violence and abuse. 💚
“Take on only as much as you can do of good deeds, for the best of deeds is that which is done consistently, even if it is little.”
– Sunan Ibn Majah 4240
"According to a parable, when Prophet Abraham was cast into a fire by the tyrant king Nimrod, the spectacle was met with horror by a small bird. It spread its wings and soared to a nearby river, where it filled its beak with water. The bird carried these meagre drops to where the fire was lit before going back for more. The water it fetched was of course, not enough to quell the raging flames.
An arrogant crow mocked the bird's scurrying efforts and haughtily told him:
‘How can you hope to douse the fire with such little water. Surely you realise that there is nothing you can do?’
The bird remained unperturbed and calmly replied:
‘When I meet with God, He will not ask me whether I was able to put out the fire, He will only inquire whether I did my part to see that it was extinguished.’"
Allah said, "I am surely with you both. I hear and I see." - 20:46 - 'Here the word "with you" is used in the sense of divine help and support which human senses cannot perceive.' The message is the same, the people have changed. Allah SWT deliver the Palestinians as you once did the Jewish community under the care of Moses pbuh. Ameen. 🙏🏼🤲🏽🌎💚
