To see every Muslim confident and impacting the world
When one considers the purpose of the Hajj and the rituals that are involved in performing it, it becomes quite apparent that a Hajji (a person performing the Hajj, the pilgrim) is in the same state of mind as the Mujāhid (in this instance, the one who goes to fight in the path of Allāh).

"...it didn’t take long for Adel to get news that Egyptian authorities intended to send SWAT teams to London, and Adel was on their list of targets.
“With his knowledge of the state’s systemic abuse of power and close work with rights organisations, Adel needed to be silenced."
In this sixth instalment of A Boy Named Justice — an Islam21c-CAGE International project, penned by our veteran contributor Zimarina Sarwar — we join Shaykh Adel Abdul Bary and his young family in Britain, with the tentacles of Egypt's security services threatening to take him out.

Israel has vowed to continue its assault on Rafah despite condemnation of an airstrike that martyred over 50 Palestinians.
Gaza's Ministry of Health has reported that hundreds more were injured in the barbaric attack on the refugee camp.
Decapitated babies and young children have been found with limbs blown off, whilst women have been burnt alive.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has delivered a landmark ruling, ordering Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in Rafah.
This historic decision came in response to a South African application accusing Israel of escalating genocide against Palestinians.
Judge Nawaf Salam emphasised the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, urging Israel to stop actions causing the destruction of the Palestinian people. The court also demanded unimpeded access for UN bodies investigating these allegations and the unhindered provision of humanitarian aid.
Despite this, Israel has shamelessly rejected the ruling, continuing its offensive in Rafah. However, this decision by the ICJ is a significant step in the fight for justice and accountability.
The world is now watching Israel more closely than ever. Will its relentless belligerence and defiance of international justice lead to its downfall?
In a welcome, albeit considerably belated, development, three European states have confirmed their intention to formally recognise the State of Palestine on 28 May.
While mere recognition of the Palestinian state is a pitifully low moral bar, it is nonetheless welcome news whenever more and more states defy the racist dehumanisation of Palestinians.

Ireland, Norway, and Spain have confirmed they will recognise Palestine as an independent state on Tuesday 28th May.
It is a welcome step to level the narratives' playing field between Palestine and the Zionist state, but why only now?
Reports have emerged that Al-powered bots are being deployed amidst the Gaza genocide to push pro-Israeli narratives online.
These bots swarm social media, creating comments that seem human but are actually Al-generated.
Zionists are having an absolute meltdown because the prosecutor at the international criminal court has finally sought arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu.
In this week's Islamic Thoughts episode, Dr Salman Butt and Dr Anas Altikriti share some thoughts.

The chief prosecutor of the ICC (International Criminal Court) has asked a panel of judges to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister for war crimes and crimes against humanity for the genocide in Gaza, alongside three Palestinian resistance leaders.
What are your thoughts?
Pressure is mounting on Israel to cease hostilities after US President Joe Biden outlined a truce plan on Friday.
Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan said he welcomed the truce plan, but the group has not yet received anything in writing.
Maximising the intentions was the trade of the hearts of the sahābah (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhum), the scholars, and those who know Allāh very well.
They would carry out a single action for which they would have many intentions, so that they could be rewarded abundantly for every intention.

We are upon that time of year once more when those who have been chosen by Allāh to visit His blessed house and perform Ḥajj are preparing to leave by reading up on how to perform Ḥajj in the correct manner.
Though this is good and necessary, I would like to propose some points with regards to extra actions you can do to magnify your reward by the will of Allāh, as well as to share with you some advice that is not commonly given.

There will come a time when you are faced with a loved one, who may have an advanced illness and is deteriorating, who is said to be on their “deathbed”.

An investigation by the Guardian has exposed Israels use of hacking and spying to influence narratives globally.
These findings reveal that Israel employed surveillance tactics to hinder investigations into its war crimes in Gaza.
There is a primal feature of our nafs that our scholars have meticulously warned against for centuries. Recent scientific research has, as well, explained how our brains make excuses for ourselves.
In this Islamic Thought video, Dr. Salman Butt help us to understand how such mechanisms work and how Allah is testing people who are misusing the religion to not fulfil certain Islamic obligations and even trying to prevent others from doing them.

In June, Slovenia will join Sweden, Norway, Ireland, and Spain in recognising Palestine as an independent state.
A non-permanent member of the UNSC, Slovenia increased UNRWA funding when Israel lied about Hamas infiltrating the agency.
After 14-year-old Benjamin Achimeir went missing in the West Bank in April, a wide search was triggered by Israeli settlers.
Via WhatsApp, the illegal occupiers incited indiscriminate revenge attacks on Palestinians, saying "exterminate the beasts".
It has been increasingly apparent that the vast majority of chatbots — including OpenAI’s Chat GPT, Google’s Bard, and Microsoft’s Bing — are influencing narratives when it comes to the Gazan humanitarian crisis and war crimes being committed by the Zionist state.

Rishi Sunak has called a surprise general election for 4th July - that’s only 40 days away! But this election is going to be about Gaza.
We spoke to Dr. Wajid Akhter and Umer Suleman to discuss The Muslim Vote - a united movement among the UK Muslim community like never before that’s done loads of research into Muslim constituencies, and even held a national town hall where hundreds of Muslims came together from all over the UK to discuss our strategies.

In an unexpected move, on Wednesday Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called a general election for 4 July.
Labour has a possibility of winning, especially as 71% of voters hold a negative view of Sunak, according to YouGov.
But as the Gaza genocide persists, many are urging voters to simply support pro-Palestine candidates.
Who will you vote for?
Hundreds of Muslims gathered from all across the UK for one thing this weekend.
