Life is short

 Lessons From a friend life is a test for janannah .I don't need negativity life is so short forgive me Allah I miss you baba Allah yer hamak I wish you were here alhamdulah for everything I learned to be independent and l learned to advocate thank you Allah and alhamallah I read Quran and I am a writer Allah is always with me alhamdulah I have a blessed life and family and friends and blog I will never give up. I have a few lessons 

1) Life moves on. Sadly, this means that we cannot bask in the happy moments forever but thankfully, it also means the pain of the sad moments will not last. 

2) Go to Hajj as soon as you can. The young brother who passed had completed Hajj and gone to Umrah 2 months ago with the love of his life, his wife @samerk28. 

Two instances where his sins have been forgiven, in sha Allah, one of which is a feat that is usually delayed in our ummah until folks are in their elderly ages. May Allah accept it from him.

3) Get married as soon as you can and do not delay once you find someone compatible. Marriage is a blessing so ask Allah for a righteous spouse who will make dua in your absence and especially upon your death.

4) Use your youth to do good deeds. Age brings wisdom but takes your strength and changes priorities. Be a better Muslim while you're physically more capable and have more time to devote.

5) We need to learn the etiquettes of death in Islam. Our faith is a fully rounded way of life but because death is a topic that is uncomfortable, we lose out on valuable information. Learn how to pray janazah, how to grieve, how to comfort the bereaved and how to make dua for the dead.

6) Get comfortable with the idea of your own death. One thing that made my father's passing easier for us to bear was the fact that he was very open about how he hoped to die. He did not want to suffer any long illnesses, he didn't want to be taken care of & he didn't want to die in the US. So when he passed suddenly, at an age younger than his peers, with no illness & on the plot of land that he grew up on & raised his family, we had no choice but to be grateful that Allah answered his duas so beautifully. 

7) Remember our rights upon each other including the sunnah of going to a wedding if you are invited & the fardh kifaya to show up to a janazah when you hear of it. Islam is about community so doing the minimums on your own are not enough. There is great reward in being there for others & may Allah grant us loving people to be around when our times come.

The Syria humanitarian Criss

  Islamophobia Adds to he Syrian Refugee Crisis  Racism has been reflected in discriminatory laws, practices, and actions (including violence) against racial or ethnic groups throughout the history of the United States. Since the early colonial era, White Americans have generally enjoyed legally or socially-sanctioned privileges and rights that have been denied to members of various ethnic or minority groups. European Americans have enjoyed advantages in matters of citizenship, criminal procedure, education, immigration, land acquisition, and voting rights. Before 1865, most African Americans were enslaved; since the abolition of slavery, they have faced severe restrictions on their political, social, and economic freedoms. Native Americans have suffered genocide, forced removals, and massacres, and they continue to face discrimination. European Americans, Hispanics, Middle Eastern, and Asian Americans, along with Pacific Islanders, have also been the victims of discrimination...

Free Palestine

 your passion intact while improving clarity, structure, and impact: --- # **Stop the Genocide in Palestine** The world must wake up to the genocide happening in Palestine. Israel is not the victim in this conflict—the Palestinian people are suffering daily under occupation, oppression, and relentless attacks. Yet, the media distorts the truth, painting Palestinians as terrorists while portraying Israel as the oppressed. This pattern reflects a larger issue: the media's reluctance to show the suffering of non-white populations and its role in reinforcing racist stereotypes. The media rarely gives full coverage to the struggles of marginalized communities—whether Native Americans, Chinese, Italian immigrants, African Americans, people with disabilities, or women, especially Muslim women. Stories of oppression and resistance from these groups are often ignored, manipulated, or framed in ways that dehumanize them. This systemic bias allows injustices, like the current massacre in Pale...

Syrian refugees and the rest of the world

 Sarah Elgohary                                                                           We need to help refugee I remembered that paper Most people do not know how serious the Syrian refugee crisis is. This is because Western societies only react and pay attention to a problem when celebrities make a statement about an issue, rather than their government. This is especially the case with Syrian refugees because many politicians especially Republicans are using fear and Islamophobia to create biased policies in order to ban the entire Muslim race and stop accepting Syrian refugees, even if a majority of them are innocent people who are in need of projection not violent meaningless killing of other Innocent people. This xenophobic action is simply based on the stereotype that all Muslims are rad...
