Israel is employing starvation and aid restrictions as weapons of war, precipitating famine across the entire population of Gaza.
This deliberate push to starve an entire population constitutes a war crime of the highest order, akin to the most brutal ethnic cleansing in modern history.

The reality of the Zionist state’s narrative has been questioned, with footage emerging of the Iranian retaliation.
Israeli air defence officials claim they were able to shoot down “99 per cent” of the 320 Iranian drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles — with critical help from the United States, Britain, and Jordan.
However, Tehran has dismissed Israel’s claim of resisting “99 per cent”, by stating that “all hypersonic missiles used against Israel hit targets”.
The clip shows an Iranian missile not losing track, despite being hit by an Israeli projectile.

The genius of al-Jazarī is noted with his design of mechanical instruments, including sophisticated water clocks and captivating automata.
He not only transcended the technological norms of his time but laid the groundwork for future advancements in engineering and robotics.
al-Jazarī's inventions were a blend of artistry and science, symbolising the boundless potential of the human mind when fuelled by curiosity and perseverance. His work reminds us of the importance of pushing the boundaries of what is known and daring to imagine what could be.
His incredible creations also drive us to embrace our own creativity and curiosity. May we strive to explore, combining art and science to create solutions that benefit humanity.

Imam Mālik, known for his deep knowledge and piety, clashed with the authorities over a sensitive legal issue, they tried to silence him, and today this is the majority opinion among the jurisprudential schools of thought.
Due to his persistence in speaking the truth, the ruler of Madina had him flogged and tied upside down to a riding animal.

Do we listen to the promise of Allah, or the promise of Shaytān?

Under the reign of the Fatimid Caliphate thrived a magnificent centre for learning and intelligence in Cairo.
This remarkable concentration of schools, libraries, and universities served to highlight the unparalleled value placed upon education within society.
It was a place where scholars and students from all corners of the globe congregated, seeking and sharing knowledge across many disciplines, from the sciences to the humanities, from theology to philosophy.
The legacy of Cairo during the Fatimid era causes us to value and pursue education, to nurture places of learning, and to foster a culture that treasures knowledge.
In doing so, we honour our past and pave the way for a future bright with understanding and progress.

As Ramaḍān is nearing an end, remind yourselves to try if possible — even if it is for one hour, 30 minutes, or even 10 minutes — to just simply be with your Muslim brother or sister on the day of Eid, just so that they get to experience some kind of celebration that is in addition to the Eid prayer.
When this happens, the joy and value they will feel are hard to match.

If esteemed surgeons and medical professionals are confirming that the Zionist state is purposefully targeting civilians, would this not suggest that it is clearly on the wrong side of history?

The days of Ramadan are over for this year, but that does not mean that the days of accruing great rewards are as well.
To fast six days of this month after completing Ramadan is as though one has fasted a lifetime!
https://www.islam21c.com/islamic-thought/shawwal-fast-of-lifetime/
All that fasting, praying, and reciting. But is there a way to tell if it was accepted?

In this final part of the Trials Transformed series, we learn about the sanctions enforced against the Prophet ﷺ and Banu Hāshim.
In a calculated move to silence their message, the Quraysh leadership ostracised the entire clan, forcing them into a confined valley for three gruelling years.
To make it worse, they would buy all the food that entered Makkah, lest it enter the hands of Banu Hāshim.

In a rare slapping down of Israel, United States President Joe Biden has expressed his apparent “outrage” and being “heartbroken” over the needless killing of seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers in Gaza.
The incident, which occurred during an Israeli airstrike on 1 April, has prompted some of Biden’s strongest criticism yet of the close US ally.

Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (raḥimahu Allah) became a beacon of courage during a dark period in Islamic history.
