Zohran wins. What does this mean?
"Zohran Mamdani has won the position of Mayor of New York — despite an aggressive campaign led by the Zionist lobby, Donald Trump himself, and Elon Musk, all aiming to bring him down. Billions were spent, and relentless, coordinated media attacks were launched against him.
Mamdani is now the youngest person ever to hold the office, the first mayor to openly identify as Muslim, and the one who achieved the highest voter turnout in sixty years. He even publicly challenged the Prime Minister of the Zionist entity, declaring that if he ever set foot in New York, he would have him arrested.
A few years ago, anyone predicting such a scenario would have been called delusional — yet here it is, reality.
This historic shift against the Zionist lobby in the U.S. is unlikely to have a direct effect on our region, since American voters primarily chose Mamdani for local issues — better services and governance in New York — not for shaping U.S. foreign policy.
Still, this remarkable event reveals how much the Zionist influence has weakened in recent years. I believe it will send shockwaves through the American political landscape, deepen internal divisions within both parties, and heighten the already sharp polarization in American society — fueling a period of radical transformation across the nation."

A day in the life of a Palestinian woman.
I often wonder how ʿUmar would have reacted to a video like this.
But the Lord of ʿUmar is never absent.
He will raise a people, a believing and courageous people, who will restrain these criminals.
For those unsure, here's a quick snapshot of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who recently won the Nobel Peace Prize over former U.S. President Donald Trump.
She described the genocide in Gaza as “Israel’s war on terror.”
She openly declared her intention to move Venezuela’s embassy to Jerusalem.
In several television interviews, she claimed that Venezuela and Israel are alike in their fight against terrorism.
She praised what she called the “courage of the Israeli people,” portraying them as a model of democracy in the Middle East.
In 2020, Machado’s party, Vente Venezuela, signed a cooperation agreement with Israel’s Likud Party—Netanyahu’s own party—claiming that the two shared common values and a similar fight against terrorism.
A document published on MintPress News bears Machado’s signature, in which she calls on Netanyahu to intervene in Venezuela to overthrow President Nicolás Maduro, whom she labels a dictator.
In 2019, she thanked Netanyahu publicly after Israel recognized Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s interim president—part of the broader U.S.-led attempt to unseat Maduro.
In 2025, Israel’s foreign minister personally contacted both Machado and Edmundo González, the opposition’s claimed election winner, expressing hope that democracy would soon be restored in Venezuela. Machado, in turn, said she was grateful for Israel’s support for the Venezuelan people.
Machado has supported U.S. sanctions against her own country, calling them necessary to topple a dictatorial regime.
She also praised a recent U.S. military operation announced by Trump as a step toward liberating Venezuela.
Her history is filled with support for coups. In 2002, she signed the Carmona Decree, backing the attempted coup against the late President Hugo Chávez.
She later founded SUMATE, an organization funded by USAID—the U.S. agency notorious for bankrolling “democracy restoration” projects across the world.
In 2005, at the height of the U.S. occupation of Iraq, Machado met with President George W. Bush, urging him to continue working against Venezuela’s legitimate government and its Bolivarian Revolution.
The United States continues to present her as the face of Venezuela’s democratic opposition, openly supporting her right to run after the Maduro government banned her from the elections. Senior U.S. officials, including Brian Nichols and Juan González, have described her as “a legitimate leader representing the will of the Venezuelan people.”
Today, there is no such thing as neutrality. Everything is politicized - that's humanitarian aid, AI tools, social media platforms, and the entire international system.
Why al-Sham, Palestine and Jerusalem?
[Episode 1]
Al-Shām has seen it all — prophets, empires, and clashes of civilization. From the Canaanites to the Romans, from the Pharaohs to the Muslims, every great power tried to claim it. Why? Because al-Shām isn’t just land — it’s the crossroads of continents, cultures, and revelation. It is the heartbeat of the human story.

This is Hamza Mustafa Abu Touha, a Qur’an teacher in Gaza. I want to share with you his own words on a photo that he posted, showing his Qur’an notes on the fabric walls of his tent in connection with the 10 modes of Qur’an recitation.
The sheer determination and love for Qur’an is bewildering.
Instil this in your children. Show this photo to your students. Revisit it time and time again until you put yourself on a long and consistent path to Qur’an and Arabic. Read his words with both an eye of admiration and resolve!
Brother Hamza writes:
“This is my home — a tent that feels like a blazing furnace. I struggle just to breathe or move properly. I am constantly drenched in sweat. The only relief I find in it is that diligent student whom I teach the ten Qur’anic recitations. The only thing that eases the harshness of this life are those grammatical, morphological, rhetorical, and linguistic insights into each reading from among the readings of the Qur’an. An hour of this — and it feels as though I’m in Paradise, or in a world entirely unlike this one. I begin to long for life again. I long for the dignity that every human being deserves.”
May Allah relieve your hardship, Shaykh Hamza, and aid us in supporting your cause.
Tonight the moon will turn red.
For the world, it is simply an eclipse. For us, it is a timely and thunderous reminder:
The One who changes the face of the moon is the same One who changes the face of nations.
Tonight's red moon recalls the rivers of blood that have flowed in Gaza, while the world remains deafeningly silent. But the silence of creation is not the silence of the Creator.
وَتِلْكَ الأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاس
“These are days We alternate among the people...” [Āl ʿImrān 3:140]
His justice is certain, His promise is near and His sovereignty over the universe is perfect.
If you see the eclipse, pray whatever you can, call upon Him earnestly and make peace with Him once and for all.
The face of the our bereaved Ummah will change, as will do the face of every genocidal criminal.
Pagans of the past would fashion their idols out of dates, bow to them in worship, and place their hopes in them. But when hunger struck, those same idols lost all sanctity; they were eaten.
In much the same way, the modern global order crafted its own sacred ideals: liberty, equality, freedom of speech, human rights. These values were paraded as the moral high ground, the foundation of a civilised world and were violently exported. But the moment these ideals began to challenge the interests of those who created them, to expose their hypocrisy, and to empower the oppressed, they – too – were thrown away.
The two pillars of society - Rulers and scholars
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:
“Since the preservation of Islam rests on two key groups—the scholars and the rulers—and the rest of society follows their lead, then the wellbeing of the world depends on the righteousness of these two, and its ruin lies in their corruption. As ʿAbdullāh ibn al-Mubārak and others from the early generations said:
"Two groups of people—if they are upright, the people are upright; and if they are corrupt, the people are corrupt."
When asked, "Who are they?"
He replied: "The kings and the scholars."
And Ibn al-Mubārak also said (in a couplet of poetry):
*رأيتُ الذنوبَ تميتُ القلوبَ، وقد يورثُ الذلَّ إدمانُها
“I’ve seen that sins bring death to the heart,
And clinging to them brings humiliation and disgrace.”
*وتركُ الذنوبِ حياةُ القلوبِ، وخيرٌ لنفسك عصيانُها
“But leaving sin revives the heart,
And disobeying your soul is best for its sake.”
*وهل أفسدَ الدينَ إلا الملوكُ، وأحبارُ سوءٍ ورهبانُها
“And what has ever corrupted religion more
Than tyrant kings, and corrupt priests and monks?”
(I’laam al-Muwaqqi’een)

The bombing of the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza that happened live on air, killing 20 people, shocked the world.
But why the shock?
This very crime has been repeating daily for nearly two years. Remember the massacre at al-Maʿmadānī Hospital in the early days of the genocide? Remember the debate that surrounded it?
Here we are today; no such debate exists anymore because the massacres were repeated every single day. The whole world is watching, apparently unable to stop this monster. Some of the most powerful nations are openly shielding and protecting them.
And yet, there are still those lost in heedlessness. Distracted. Unconcerned. Neither moving to support, nor preparing themselves for the coming days, nor even caring.
Such people may one day be burned by the very fire of their neglect, and regret when regret will be too late.
“and it will be said, ‘But how can there be escape now?’” (Qur’an 38:3).
May Allah accept the martyrs. Raise their ranks. Console their families and this ummah. Take vengeance on the oppressors—the criminals who wage war against Allah, His Messenger, and the believers.
And may Allah grant victory to those who stand before these criminals—with their souls, their wealth, and their platforms and pens.
Part of today’s collapse of murū’ah (chivalrous dignity) is the indifference of some to the wounds of the Ummah. The same hands that scroll past images of slaughter, oppression, and utter hypocrisy with a deadened heart will type furiously for petty arguments, online drama, niche theological debates, and personal ego. A person of murū’ah feels responsible for more than their own brand or tiny circle; they feel the weight of their Ummah’s pain, even if all they can offer is duʿā’, a word of truth, or a refusal to normalise the oppressor.

"The more savage a coloniser becomes, the closer he is to his own collapse." A statement made by Ilan Pappe, al-Masiri, and other historians.
This is a pattern in history we can’t afford to ignore. When an occupying power exhausts its ability to justify itself, it turns to violence. Extreme, unfiltered violence.
When regimes have nothing left to offer but cruelty, when they begin to kill without hesitation and legislate murder in daylight, they are no longer advancing a project. They are losing control of it.
The recent push in the Israeli Knesset to legalise the execution of Palestinian prisoners is anything but a sign of strength. It’s the clearest evidence of moral exhaustion and utter desperation.
But here’s the catch; barbarism cannot sustain an empire forever, because – according to the historians above - brute force is the final card of a dying empire.
About this civilisational moment, Allah says:
فَلَمَّا نَسُوا۟ مَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَٰبَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَرِحُوا۟ بِمَآ أُوتُوٓا۟ أَخَذْنَـٰهُم بَغْتَةًۭ فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ
"When they became oblivious to warnings, We showered them with everything they desired. But just as they became prideful of what they were given, We seized them by surprise, then they instantly fell into despair!” (Al-Qur’an 6:44)
Such moments are agonising, and may feel endless, but make no mistake: when cruelty becomes the name of the game, then the ink has touched the page, and the final chapters are being written

Speaking about the battle of Uhud, Allah said:
ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ٱلْغَمِّ أَمَنَةًۭ نُّعَاسًۭا
"Then, after the grief, He sent down calm upon you, a sleep ..” (Al-Qur’an 3:154)
Today, Gaza is also in grief.
But calm will follow, as it always does, and Gaza will be able to sleep again, whilst bitter wakefulness will befall the tyrants who imagine themselves invincible.
Allah said:
كُنتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ
“You are the best nation ever raised for mankind.” [Āl ʿImrān 3:110]
And the Prophet Muhammad PBUH said:
نَحْنُ الْآخِرُونَ الأَوَّلُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
“We are the last, yet we will be the first on the Day of Judgment.”
This Muslim Ummah will never be void of goodness. It is, and will remain, the best of humanity until the end of time. The signs and evidences of this are constant and across every sector of society, bringing happiness to the believers and rage to those far from Allah.
So, do not spread words of despair about us. Allah's Eye of care is upon us always, and the example we set, across every land and time, is like none other.
The occupation has just announced the beginning of the invasion of Gaza.
Gaza is literally in flames as we speak.
حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل
رحماك يا الله
Money buys you a king-size bed but can't buy you sleep.
It can buy top notch food but can't buy ease of digestion.
It can build enormous mansions but can't buy peace at home.
Yes, trade. Succeed. Innovate, but keep in mind –
The truest bliss rests in Iman (faith) and meaningful work -
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً
"Whoever does good, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life.."
[Al-Qur'an, 16:97]
Qur'an and perfecting Salah are examples of feeding Iman.
Standing with confidence and clarity for Gaza is an example of meaningful work.
Today, it is no longer enough for people of knowledge, leadership, or influence to shrug their shoulders and say, “What can we do? Times are hard. May Allah help us,” before retreating into irrelevance, watering down the religion to match the mood of the age, limiting their role to comfortable humanitarian projects, religious tours, academic rebuttals, classical theological discussions of the past, and flowery Da’wah events reserved to dinner tables and lecture halls.
Equally misplaced is the attitude of those who say, “I prefer not to get involved in political matters, not really my forte” as if injustice will wait around for their comfort or clarity. Then slowly, without realising, the heart begins to harden and turn cold, no longer stirred by bloodshed, no longer moved by oppression, no longer burning with urgency for truth or change.
The truth is, these are not just ‘political’ matters. These are matters that strike at the heart of our Tawheed - defending truth, honouring sacred sites, brotherhood in faith, and standing for justice.
The Qur’an was not sent down for quiet reading in quiet times, but was revealed for times like these. Yes, the Qur’an came to guide, but also to awaken, to challenge and to liberate.
Much of the contemporary approach to Islamic discussion and activism today makes the implicit assumption that the Muslim is just an intellect, just a mind, or just a voice of charity. The Muslim is, above all, a soul that years for nearness to Allah and success in the hereafter, but also longs for justice on earth.
Our da’wah and teaching must reflect that.
To those reporting the news of Muslims locally or abroad
Allah said:
وَذَكِّرْهُمْ بِأَيَّامِ اللَّهِ
“And remind them of the Days of Allah...” (Al-Qur’an, 14:5)
This was the instruction given to Prophet Mūsā (Moses): to remind the oppressed believers of Banī Isrā’īl of Allah’s “days”, meaning His moments of aid, deliverance, and decisive victory over tyranny.
This is a principle that must guide our posting, sharing and reporting of the Ummah’s struggles. The principle states that while it is essential to document the wounds of our Ummah—the carnage of Gaza, the children buried in rubble, the growing racism and repression locally and abroad —whether through journalism or our personal platforms, it is equally vital to both seek out and share “the Days of Allah”: moments of divine support, unexpected victories, and the breakthroughs granted in courts, in media, in academic institutions, or on the streets of Palestine and beyond that are rupturing injustice on a daily basis.
Much of the current approach, as well meaning as it is, empties us from this memory, which risks creating a narrative of despair, imbalances and poor assumptions of Allah.
The reality is that Allah intervenes, is intervening, and will intervene again and again.
Capture that too in your reporting, share this with those who share our news, and remind them to remind us of “the days of Allah”.
U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack stood today at a conference in Lebanon and described Lebanese journalists as “animalistic” and “chaotic,” ordering them to behave like “civilized” people.
These very same terms—animalistic and civilized—are the same ones used by the Zionist entity to describe the people of Gaza and justify its campaign against them. They are the same racist expressions the West has deployed for 200 years to describe the Chinese, the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, the aboriginals of Australia, and African nations.
Decay and shameless moral arrogance, seeing themselves as the only civilization with the exclusive right to kill, displace, plunder, and seize, while demanding the rest of the world submit before it in surrender.
Barrack’s ugly statement today does not merely reveal that America’s view of us is the same as that of the Zionist entity, but tells us that this view toward us has not changed since its inception, and will not change until the end of time. To them, we are waste to be disposed of and cleansed. There is no middle ground between being fully human and being garbage.
