Padshah Jahangir at the gathering for Eid al-Fitr, via Museum of Islamic Art, 2008

They were barred from entering. Assaulted. Arrested. Chased from its grounds. Yet dozens of Palestinians still managed to perform Eid prayers on Salah al-Din Street, opposite Bab al-Sahira—the very gates of Al-Aqsa. This is resistance.

Huge respect to all those volunteering to provide security for worshippers late at night. Solidarity with my Canadian Muslim brothers and sisters. You have to remain strong and together through the increasing Zionist hijacking of your country.

Christian Zionists might be the most pathetic group of people on the entire planet. As muslims we should be proud that despite our internal differences and flaws, we do not tolerate the disrespect of any prophet, let alone one of the greatest messengers of God.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

@HallvardHolte You’re correct. And there is a famous quote by a sahabi who said that as governor, Muawiyah (RA) was more afraid of Umar (RA) than Umar’s own servants were.

I know I'm 100% back when I'm just going about my day normally and my mind just goes "you know, if Muawiya was appointed governor of Syria in 639, that's in the caliphate of Omar, so not part of Uthman's controversial supposed nepotism, which you might otherwise naively suppose"

We live in an utterly evil world but Germany still somehow manages to stand out

Subhan Allah.....

Absolutely terrifying thunderstorm started in the very last rak’ah of tarawih tonight. 580 rak’ahs across 29 todays spent in complete peace and apocalyptic scenes during the last one. Everyone in Karachi stay safe.

@doctor_rahmeh Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. Just look at the noor on his face

@Han31506417073 The greatest survival horror game ever made in my opinion

that 20 minutes was painful ngl i'll try it again in the future but i have more things to my liking rn

This appeared on my feed immediately after a compilation video of Israeli demons throwing cats off of roofs in Palestine.

@doctor_rahmeh Western Christianity is almost entirely co opted by Zionism

I'm yet to see a single Christian Westerner speak out against the closure of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The most sacred site in Christianity. In occupied Quds (Jerusalem), Palestine. Illegally locked by the jewish occupation. Where is the defence of your own holy place?

@entertheunseen Even the more respectable remixes feel rather cheap. Refining and sanitizing a qawwali only leads to squeezing out the spirituality and beauty at its core.

@aliasad1998 100% agree, unfortunately. 😔 Such a disservice to his legacy.

In one of his last interviews before passing, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan — the famed Shahenshah-e-Qawwali [King of Sufi Qawwali] — shared a quiet pain: the spiritual theft of his work. He gently cautioned us against the spoiling of that which comes from the soul (London, 1997).
