When a Muslim passes away, it is the responsibility of his family, relatives, and the Muslim community at large, to perform the final Islamic rites relating to washing (ghusl), shrouding (kafn), praying upon (Salat al-Janaza), and burying the deceased (dafn).
In part four of four, we share advice for those preparing to perform the final Islamic rites for a loved one.

🍉 Did you know that the watermelon is an important symbol of Palestinian resistance and identity?
During times when the Palestinian flag was banned, the colours of the watermelon—red, green, white, and black—were used as a covert representation of the flag. This allowed Palestinians to subtly display their national identity and defiance against occupation.
And now is your chance to do the same!

Many students are being tested academically during this examination period, but they are also undergoing another test this very second: a test of justice and morality.
Throughout history, student activism has been a driving force behind monumental change. This is why, in addition to other forms of anti-genocide campaigning for Gaza, student efforts have garnered both formidable attention and fierce backlash.

A recent UN report has shed light on the stark contrast between the handling of captives by Palestinians and Israelis. No one has questioned the underlying reasons behind the differing treatments of prisoners and what this reveals about broader societal values and ethics.
In this Islamic thought video, Dr. Salman Butt explores a critical yet often overlooked aspect of the ongoing genocide: the treatment of prisoners.

If we degrade the great aims of Hajj to things like what sandals we should wear while we’re performing it, we are doing a great and lasting injustice to the fifth pillar of Islam. This is a problem in our thinking as a community that has been festering for a long time, and there are many factors to it. https://www.islam21c.com/seasonal-reminders/hajj/scourge-of-hajj-sandals/

Imams and Ulama from diverse backgrounds argue it is "obligatory on the broader Muslim community to help and support" the student encampments however they can.
They have not only achieved many victories in pressuring their institutions to divest from corporations and public bodies that are implicated in genocide, but they have also forced the voices of the Palestinians into our political discourse, by the grace of Allah.
The list of signatories includes Shaykh Asrar Rashid, Shaykh Amar al-Shinqiti, Shaykh Suliman Gani, Shaykh Zahir Mahmood, Mufti Dr. Yusuf Shabir, and Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad, among many others.

There are more than fifteen places in the Qur’ān where the rights of parents have been stressed. It is amazing that Islam uniquely connects acts that please Allah to acts that please one’s parents.
In part three of a series on gratitude, we are urged to thank those around us, as whoever does not thank people has not thanked Allah.

“It’s simple. A plea bargain is a deal. This is your only hope of ever leaving prison alive.
"If I were to plead ‘not guilty’ to any of the three charges, I would be guaranteed life without parole."
In this eighth instalment of A Boy Named Justice — an Islam21c-CAGE International project, written by our regular contributor Zimarina Sarwar — we are reunited with Shaykh Adel Abdul Bary on his extradition flight to America.
And having been transported to New York hooded, shackled, and in extreme cold, only to then be forced to await his day in court for two painful years, he explains the coercive nature of the US plea bargain system: one that you just cannot fight.

An eight-year-old girl, Hanan al-Zaanin, lost her life to severe malnutrition.
This came after the Zionist state obstructed critical aid to Gaza and created a dire humanitarian crisis.
Medics tried to transfer her to Egypt for treatment, but this could not be done due to the ongoing Israeli military operation and the closure of the Rafah border.
Hanan's brother also died during this genocide, again due to severe starvation. Families in Gaza are seeing their children dying in front of their eyes.
The WHO said on Wednesday that 8,000 Gazan children under the age of five have been diagnosed with acute malnutrition. This must end.
Though Ismāʿīl (ʿalayhi al-Salām) would seem to have hit the nail on the head with his response; it would not have stopped Ibrāhīm (ʿalayhi al-Salām) from wondering what his son thought of this order and whether he was willing or anxious about being sacrificed.
https://www.islam21c.com/islamic-thought/response-of-a-sacrificed-son/
The head of the World Health Organization has warned 8,000 children in Gaza have been diagnosed with acute malnutrition.
He has highlighted that only two stabilisation centres for severely malnourished patients are currently in operation.
If you were to delve deeper into the biography of Ibrāhīm (ʿalayhi al-Salām), you will notice that everyone in his family has a perspective. All of them have a very similar story of trials and tribulation that is unique to them, but they all come together to make this beautiful family.
Hājar, Ismā’īl, Ishāq, Ya’qūb, Yūsuf – they are all from a legacy of patience through a struggle that is unique to each them but which completes this family of truthfulness and patience.

On Tuesday, Hamas responded to mediators on the US proposal for a Gaza ceasefire with some amendments on the deal.
The changes include a full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, including the Rafah crossing and the so-called Philadelphi Corridor.
“One of the main objectives of Hajj is to endorse the lives of Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismail for they are the Imams of the monotheistic way.
“As for the Prophet Muhammad (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam), he was sent to make this way prevalent, a way which Allah described as being ‘The religion of your father Ibrahim.’”

Some vegans have decided to call on others to avoid performing the highly recommended Sunnah of the Uḍḥiyah (Qurbani).
While this may be well-intentioned, it becomes highly problematic when Islamic legitimacy is sought to be given to these calls, despite their clear opposition to Islamic teachings.

UN Secretary-General Guterres has added Israel to a global list of offenders that are committing abuses against children.
In typical fashion, the state's UN envoy claimed in response, "Israel's army is the most moral army in the world."
