The US is participating directly in this genocide"
Palestinian activist Ahmed El-Madhoun films US-made shells used by Israel to strike Gaza's Khan Younis city.
The US is by far the largest supplier of weapons to Israel, with more than two thirds of military imports coming from Washington.
After temporarily suspending a shipment, the Biden administration has announced this week its plan to deliver a new $1 billion military package to Israel, consisting of tank ammunition, tactical vehicles and mortar rounds.
If you find yourself astray, keep this reminder deeply in your heart. Woven into the fabrics of your mind.
Do not fall for the whispers that break your hope of ever returning. Allah has his ways for you to return to him despite your sins and shortcomings.
Like the story of the prostitute who had mercifully been accepted into heaven for feeding a dog, who led the dog? Certainly the decree and mercy of Allah ﷻ that had willed it. The works of Allah are ever-present yet subtle. Concealed…but existing.
من ظنَّ بِالله خيرًا، فلنْ يُخيِّب الله ظنَّه، ومن شكر الله علىٰ نعمةٍ، زادهُ الله مِن فضله، ومن توكَّل على الله فهو حسبه
Whoever thinks well of Allah, Allah will not disappoint them. Whoever thanks Allah for a blessing, Allah will increase them in His bounty. And whoever relies on Allah, He will suffice them.
اللهم إني ظلمت نفسي ظلماً كثيراً ولا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت. فاغفر لي مغفرةً من عندك، وارحمني، إنك أنت الغفور الرحيم.
Ya Allah, I have wronged myself a lot, and no one forgives sins except You. So forgive me with forgiveness from You and have mercy on me. You are indeed the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful! Ya Allah
I don't know who needs to hear this but get up and try again. If you keep falling into the same sins, repent once more. If you've been lazy with salah, start praying from now. If you've given up on making du'a, start again. It doesn't matter how many steps you've taken away from Allah, it only takes 1 step to turn back to Him. We all slip at times, but I need you to pick yourself back up. Allah sees how hard you try, your efforts are never wasted.
