In a time when the world is engulfed in injustice, oppression, and uncertainty, the strength and clarity of true faith become more vital than ever. The ongoing massacres in Gaza lay bare the brutal reality of global inaction and complicity. Despite the immense suffering of Palestinians, many world powers—including those who claim to uphold human rights—remain passive, complicit, or even actively supportive of the violence through political and military means. The silence and failure of international institutions reflect a dangerous double standard, where political interests are prioritized over moral responsibility.
Meanwhile, in the United States, the resurgence of oppressive, Trump-era policies threatens the rights and freedoms of Muslims and other marginalized communities. Islamophobic rhetoric is being normalized once again, with potential expansions of surveillance, suppression of pro-Palestinian voices, and restrictions on campus activism and protest. From anti-BDS legislation to widespread censorship, Muslims and their allies are under growing pressure for simply standing on the side of justice.
