“I chose journalism to be close to people. It may not be easy to change the reality, but at least I was able to make their voice heard in the world.” -Shireen Abu Akleh, Palestinian American journalist
May she rest in God’s eternal peace, not found on earth, amen 🤲🏻🙏🏻
On this blessed Friday, I ask that God grant you and yours the faith, calm, peace and serenity to get through this uncertain and hectic chaos of our world right now.
It’s been seven years since I observed and celebrated a full month of Ramadan back home in San Francisco. I plan to break fast with my family, kneel in worship with my friends and try to find peace within myself.
May this Ramadan find you breaking fast with family, worshipping with friends and finding peace within yourself… ameen.
Blessed and rewarding Ramadan to one and all.
As I lay to rest, I think of my family on the other side of the world waking up.
I think of his family, their grief, their sorrow, their pain.
Why have we allowed a vicious cycle to continue? Why have we not learned anything from history?
Violence begets violence. Injustice begets injustice. Anger begets unrest. Silence begets deafness.
Listening begets understanding. Actions begets change. Calm begets peace. Voices begets unity.
Dear Ferguson, we stand with you in unified prayer, in peaceful solidarity, in the right fight for justice and change.
