Israel will keep Al-Aqsa Mosque closed through Eid al-Fitr and beyond according to local media reports. Sources in East Jerusalem said that the Israeli authorities informed the Islamic Waqf, the body in charge of the management of the site, of the decision. Al-Aqsa, the third holiest site in Islam, has now been closed by the Israeli authorities for 18 days allegedly due to the “ongoing war with Iran.” This is the first Ramadan since 1967 that Palestinians have been unable to perform Friday prayers at the holy mosque.









A lot of talk around zakat recently, subhanAllah. Just my humble two cents: there’s so much focus on how to “optimise” zakat, building new fintech layers around it, redesigning dashboards, reinventing distribution models. But historically, we already had a deeply sophisticated infrastructure model: waqf. Zakat was never meant to carry the weight of entire institutions. It’s redistributive. Immediate. Specific in its categories. Waqf, on the other hand, was structural. Generative. Long-term. It funded schools. Hospitals. Water systems. Scholars. Roads. Entire civic ecosystems. If we’re serious about sustainable Muslim institutions, maybe the question isn’t how to make zakat more efficient. Maybe it’s why we stopped building waqf's.
