There is no moving creature on earth whose provision is not guaranteed by Allāh. And He knows where it lives and where it is laid to rest. All is written in a perfect Record. [Sūrah Hūd, Verse 6]

O believers! Be mindful of Allāh and let every soul look to what deeds it has sent forth for tomorrow. And fear Allāh, for certainly Allāh is All-Aware of what you do. And do not be like those who forgot Allāh, so He made them forget themselves. It is they who are truly rebellious. [Sūrah al-Ḥashr, Verse 18-19]

It was narrated from Anas ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه‎ that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allāh loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that, wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that, earns His wrath.” [Sunan Ibn Mājah 4031, Graded Hasan]

We have officially entered the month of Rabīʿ al-ʾAwwal, which means there is exactly six months until Ramaḍān

Indeed, Allāh showers His blessings upon the Prophet, and His angels pray for him. O believers! Invoke Allāh’s blessings upon him, and salute him with worthy greetings of peace. [Sūrah al-ʾAḥzāb, Verse 56]

The sun travels for its fixed term. That is the design of the Almighty, All-Knowing. As for the moon, We have ordained precise phases for it, until it ends up looking like an old, curved palm stalk. It is not for the sun to catch up with the moon, nor does the night outrun the day. Each is travelling in an orbit of their own. [Sūrah Yāʾ Sīn, Verse 38-40]

Today marks one year since Isr*eli occupation forces assassinated Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif. Anas documented the genocide being carried out by the occupation forces in Gaza, and received numerous threats from them to stop reporting, however he refused to back down. Shortly before he was killed, Anas uploaded a video filming airstikes being undertaken by the occupation forces close to the tents that were housing journalists near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Minutes later Anas was assassinated along with four other journalists: Mohammed Qreiqea, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa. Anas had repeatedly spoken about the threats against him and the dangers he faced for continuing to report from Gaza. In a previous conversation with his colleague Anas said “I will not leave Gaza, except to Jannah” The occupation forces have repeatedly targetted and assassinated journalists in order to silence them reporting on the genocide being carried out.

Reminder: Tomorrow is Monday. The Prophet ﷺ used to fast on Mondays. Abū Qatāda al-Anṣārī رضي الله عنه reported that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: ‎It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me. ‎[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1162e]

They saved her from the rubble, her smile is their legacy. ❤️ Today, Salam is alive because these men refused to stop searching for her. But four of the Civil Defence rescuers who helped save her are no longer here. These photos tell a story that words can barely capture. In the first, Salam sits safely with her family. In the second are some of the men who risked everything to reach her beneath the rubble. They saved her life, only to later lose their own while continuing to rescue others. Behind every survivor in Gaza is often a rescuer whose name the world may never know. Men who ran towards destroyed homes while others fled, digging through concrete with their hands, refusing to leave until they had found every possible life. Allāh says in the Qurʾān: “And whoever saves one life, it is as if he has saved all of mankind.” [Sūrah al-Māʾidah, Verse 32] May Allāh accept these brave Civil Defence workers among the martyrs, grant them the highest ranks in Jannatul-Firdaws.

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye have signed a landmark joint defence pact as tensions across the Middle East continue to escalate amid the United States and Isr*el's war on Iran. The agreement, known as the Makkah Joint Deterrence Agreement, was signed on Friday in the holy city of Makkah by Türkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Under the pact, any armed attack against one of the three nations will be treated as an attack against all, establishing a framework for collective defence and deterrence against external aggression.
