US President Joe Biden has presented an Israeli proposal to end the genocide in Gaza
Is this just an attempt at appealing to domestic voters or a real effort to end the ongoing genocide?

Pressure is mounting on Israel to cease hostilities after US President Joe Biden outlined a truce plan on Friday.
Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan said he welcomed the truce plan, but the group has not yet received anything in writing.
Maximising the intentions was the trade of the hearts of the sahābah (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhum), the scholars, and those who know Allāh very well.
They would carry out a single action for which they would have many intentions, so that they could be rewarded abundantly for every intention.

An investigation by the Guardian has exposed Israels use of hacking and spying to influence narratives globally.
These findings reveal that Israel employed surveillance tactics to hinder investigations into its war crimes in Gaza.
There is a primal feature of our nafs that our scholars have meticulously warned against for centuries. Recent scientific research has, as well, explained how our brains make excuses for ourselves.
In this Islamic Thought video, Dr. Salman Butt help us to understand how such mechanisms work and how Allah is testing people who are misusing the religion to not fulfil certain Islamic obligations and even trying to prevent others from doing them.

In June, Slovenia will join Sweden, Norway, Ireland, and Spain in recognising Palestine as an independent state.
A non-permanent member of the UNSC, Slovenia increased UNRWA funding when Israel lied about Hamas infiltrating the agency.
After 14-year-old Benjamin Achimeir went missing in the West Bank in April, a wide search was triggered by Israeli settlers.
Via WhatsApp, the illegal occupiers incited indiscriminate revenge attacks on Palestinians, saying "exterminate the beasts".
It has been increasingly apparent that the vast majority of chatbots — including OpenAI’s Chat GPT, Google’s Bard, and Microsoft’s Bing — are influencing narratives when it comes to the Gazan humanitarian crisis and war crimes being committed by the Zionist state.

Imagine a son who was looked after perfectly by his parents for his whole life. And now imagine this child turns around and tells his parents that they did absolutely nothing for him. What a great injustice that would be!
This is why Allah equates ingratitude with a kind of disbelief, since ingratitude is a rejection of the very source of the blessing in the first place.

Israel has started a new military operation in central Gaza by attacking refugee camps, where millions have sought safety.
Incredibly, they chose to attack refugee camps while the US, Qatar, and Egypt were mediating a ceasefire deal.
Israeli forces completed their second raid on al-Shifa Hospital on 1 April and left behind a distressing scene of devastation.
A Palestinian Civil Defence worker said, "We've extracted martyrs, many of whom are decomposed and completely unidentifiable."
Your vote is your voice. Abstention is not a neutral act—it indirectly supports the wrong parties.
Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad explains why participating in the upcoming election is not just a civic duty but a religious obligation, particularly in the context of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

When one considers the purpose of the Hajj and the rituals that are involved in performing it, it becomes quite apparent that a Hajji (a person performing the Hajj, the pilgrim) is in the same state of mind as the Mujāhid (in this instance, the one who goes to fight in the path of Allāh).

The world has rightly been focused on Gaza, but the West Bank is also being attacked during this ongoing genocide.
In the wake of the violence, lives were lost, houses were destroyed, and entire communities were traumatised.

"...it didn’t take long for Adel to get news that Egyptian authorities intended to send SWAT teams to London, and Adel was on their list of targets.

Israel has vowed to continue its assault on Rafah despite condemnation of an airstrike that martyred over 50 Palestinians.
Gaza's Ministry of Health has reported that hundreds more were injured in the barbaric attack on the refugee camp.
Decapitated babies and young children have been found with limbs blown off, whilst women have been burnt alive.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has delivered a landmark ruling, ordering Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in Rafah.
This historic decision came in response to a South African application accusing Israel of escalating genocide against Palestinians.
Judge Nawaf Salam emphasised the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, urging Israel to stop actions causing the destruction of the Palestinian people. The court also demanded unimpeded access for UN bodies investigating these allegations and the unhindered provision of humanitarian aid.
Despite this, Israel has shamelessly rejected the ruling, continuing its offensive in Rafah. However, this decision by the ICJ is a significant step in the fight for justice and accountability.
The world is now watching Israel more closely than ever. Will its relentless belligerence and defiance of international justice lead to its downfall?
