Whenever one person or group is attacked unjustly or their God-given rights are violated, we put aside our differences and stand up against those violations.
Because (I): we have some principles; and (II): we’re not foolish enough to remain silent in the face of erosion of our rights until it finally ends up on our doorstep, and there’s no one left to defend us.

Criticism of Zionism and Israel does not necessarily involve the intention to harm Jewish communities. Our history bears witness to this, over 148 years ago.

Combining prayers is an action that should never be taken lightly. Particularly during winter, the proximity of prayer times can often present a temptation to either combine or delay the Salah. This issue is significant and requires caution.
In this video, Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad addresses this topic and emphasises the importance of respecting the sanctity of the five daily prayers.
https://youtu.be/zdtbDFQLt_4
The daily prayers in Islam are an exclusive right of Allah due from His worshippers.
In this video, Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad reminds us that prayer remains an obligation, even on one's deathbed. There should never be any laxity in upholding the Divinely commanded daily prayers.

“These are my grandparents. They were raised in Lubya, a village in Palestine on a tall hill near Tiberias, with a view of the lake and the Golan Heights.”
“In 1948, they were driven from their home by Israeli forces and spent the rest of their lives in exile. Their village was emptied, and their home was demolished.”
Omar Alkhatib writes a powerful reminder of how real stories are the backbone of genuine narratives.

This week, a notable Palestinian prisoner has told the world how Israeli officials threatened to murder her still-detained father if she spoke publicly about conditions in Israeli jails.
In his latest video, Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad explains that the contrast between the treatment of prisoners by Hamas and Israel points to the latter’s disregard for humanitarian values and dignity.

"“...O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you fed Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know that had you fed him you would surely have found that (the reward for doing so) with Me?...”(Hadith 18, 40 Hadith Qudsi).

A COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO THE GOVERNMENT’S ATTACK ON PALESTINE AND HIZB UT-TAHRIR
In a powerful display of unity and resistance, an online event will be held to oppose the recent UK government’s announcement to proscribe Hizb ut-Tahrir as a result of the group’s advocacy for justice in Palestine.
The ban is seen as a desperate attempt to stifle discussion about the ongoing atrocities in Palestine and suppress the voices of Islam and Muslims.
An attack against one of us is an attack against all of us! Therefore, the response must be collective.
“And hold firmly to the rope of Allāh all together and do not become divided.” [Al-Qur'an, 3:103]
Muslim scholars and leaders from all walks of life will come together and stand as a shield against this latest assault on Islam and curtailing of Muslims’ rights.

Hizb ut-Tahrir’s insistence on their non-violent stance contradicts the government’s assertions, deepening the debate over the government’s counter-terrorism policies and their impact on free speech—reigniting calls echoing those of the UK’s Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, Max Hill KC, who suggested terrorism laws be scrapped.

In the image, Gazans perform the Friday prayer under the shade of a collapsed mosque, following an Israeli airstrike.

Satellite imagery commissioned by the BBC vividly exposes the scale of devastation across Gaza, indicating that nearly 100,000 buildings have sustained damage.
This BBC Verify revelation clearly illustrates the targeting of civilians by Israel, given that the estimated number of Hamas combatants hovers between 20,000 and 25,000. The notion that each building harbours a single militant is implausible at best; yet, even this assumption fails to account for the extensive devastation of residential infrastructure witnessed.
A significant proportion of the impacted buildings are situated in residential zones, encompassing refugee camps, churches, mosques, schools, and even hospitals.
Additionally, the employment of inherently imprecise weaponry, such as barrel bombs and airstrikes, invariably leads to civilian casualties.
The fact that civilians are known to Israel to be in their homes before being destroyed highlights the blatant disregard for civilian life. This is evident in the alarmingly high number of civilians who have been massacred or grievously injured.
This unequivocally exemplifies the terrorist character of the Israeli attacks, aligning with the United Nations' definition of terrorism as "criminal acts, including those against civilians, committed with the intent to cause death or serious bodily harm."
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz investigated some of the most sensational headlines regarding the 7 October 'Operation Al-Aqsa Flood'.
It found them to be false. Israel and its allies spread these lies globally to justify the relentless massacres in Gaza.
Spread the truth so that Israel’s disinformation campaign is defeated.
The resilience of Palestinian Muslims, subjected to years of direct & indirect Israeli warfare, has stunned people around the world into seeing Islam in an inspiring light.
For Muslims globally, no other cause can mobilise the Ummah like Palestine.
