And The Foremost ˹in Faith˺ Will Be The Foremost ˹in Paradise˺. They Are The Ones Nearest ˹to Allah˺,

At this point, it's absurd to call Hamas anything but a resistance group that fights fair. We have seen thousands of videos and images of the idf killing, mocking, torturing and abusing Palestinian men, women and children in the most creative of ways. I have yet to see that from Hamas. Whoever condemns Hamas also condemns their right to self defence.

Hamas are made up mostly of orphans, orphaned by the hands of the idf. These people have every right to be angry, to resist living in an open air prison and being persecuted every day while the world sides with their oppressors. You'd be lying if you said you wouldn't be too, and yet they are not the ones indiscriminately killing civilians.

I'm tired of hearing 'I don't condone it but I can't blame them'. Stop beating around the bush and admit that you too would take up arms to defend yourself and your loved ones in the face of a brutal and unending occupation. Being passive doesn't bring about peace, it only allows ease in your destruction. Their rights, which were and have been taken by force for almost 80 years, can only be returned by force. That's a right none of us should speak against unless we're willingly giving up that right for ourselves.

Sappho - Translation from Anne Carson’s “If not, Winter”

I sing your song beneath the moon

Like a sweater, do you wear me too?

One of the salaf said: “Rajab is like the wind and Sha'ban is like cloud-cover while Ramadan is like the rain. Thus, whoever does not sow in Rajab and does not water in Sha'ban, how does he expect to harvest in Ramadan!” اللهم بلغنا رمضان

“Read to me”

“why?”

“Because you go somewhere else when you read. I want to go there with you.”

Wallahi, everything in Islam, which is made haram, has been made haram for a reason. Don’t think your heart can handle the effects of such a sin. It honestly can’t.

Quran 59:19 ♡

And be not like those who forgot Allāh, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient.
