To see every Muslim confident and impacting the world
Historically the status of Al-Quds is the yardstick by which the Ummah’s strength is measured.
When the Ummah was strong ʿUmar b. al-Khattāb opened it. When the Ummah became weak in the end of the 4th Hijri century it was occupied by the crusaders.
When the Ummah became strong again Salāh al-Dīn al-Ayūbī liberated it once again. And after the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate, it was occupied once again.
And the Day of Judgement will not take place until the Ummah becomes strong again and liberates itself from occupation as the Prophet (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam) informed us.

“In any world that one would think of, the Israelis have long crossed the lines of credibility, or decency, or morality, of any kind of political acceptance, a long time ago.
“But unfortunately, we don't live in that world. We live in a world where power and might is seen as the legitimate party, and the Palestinians will always be the aggressors and they will always be seen as such, however many children are killed from their side.”

In this ninth and final instalment of A Boy Named Justice — a unique Islam21c-CAGE International project, authored by Zimarina Sarwar — Shaykh Adel Abdul Bary revisits some of the most painful moments of his two decades behind bars, in Egypt, the UK, and the US.
And we hear about how life after release has been a totally new challenge, one where he has become a guest in his own home, rediscovering himself, his wife, and his children — many of whom were too young to remember their father when he was taken away.
We pray for the true victory and freedom of all those that are wrongfully detained or treated unjustly. At 63 years of age, Shaykh Adel Abdul Bary has lived up to his name; he is no more a boy named Justice, but a man named Justice.

On Sunday, the far-right led the first round of parliamentary elections, leaving France's six million Muslims concerned.
The far-right seems poised to gain power for the first time since France's occupation by Nazi Germany during World War II.
Although Salāh al-Dīn al-Ayūbī (may Allāh have mercy upon him) followed a particular school of thought in ʿAqīdah, he was the head of a collective front of believers, who had their differences in both issues of theology and jurisprudence.
They had their mistakes, came from groups with historical disputes and disagreements, but were united in their goal of establishing Allāh's word and remembrance.
They were united against the oppression and injustices being carried out against the masses around them, and they did not let their disagreements hinder them or hold them back.

“The devastating attacks on Nuseirat refugee camp are themselves enough for anyone who has an ounce of compassion or faith in a Creator.
