Female scholarship in Islam has often been underappreciated or unacknowledged - hidden between the margins or behind the curtains. But its history is vast and rich; from women whose accuracy and reliability were unmatched, and whose dedication was unheard of. @OfficialASI

Nice graphic for those not familiar with the area. All of this is a “haram” or sacred space for us, specifically the Masjid and the Dome of the Rock. It is the third only to the Haramayn Sharifayn.

Israel’s Arabic account quotes Chapter 105 of the Quran, Al-Fīl. It describes how God punished an army that attacked the holy city of Makkah: birds pelting them with stones of hard-baked clay. They’re using Muslim scripture to openly mock & taunt the victims of their war crimes.

"We would like to say to the Palestinians who are standing on behalf of the Ummah in defending its honour, that the entire Ummah is proud of you and will not forget you in their prayers." #AlAqsaMosque #AlAqsa #AlAqsaUnderAttack #Palestine islam21c.com/politics/sh-ha…

Make it a daily habit to recite your morning & evening athkaar (remembrance). The answers that we seek are already given to us, from Al-Fattaah (The Opener). May Allah allow us to attain inner peace with ourselves and with Him, through these habits of self-reflection. Ameen

Secondly, allow yourself to be vulnerable by speaking to Allah (swt) about your concerns day & night, whilst opening your heart to receive the guidance that He is constantly sending you. Thirdly, dedicate a portion of your day to reading a few pages of the Quran.

Assalamu’alaykum! As lockdown commences, there are some enduring lessons we can take from this period of solitude to truly realise and appreciate the importance of self-reflection.
