To see every Muslim confident and impacting the world
Senior Labour Party sources told the Jewish Chronicle that there was “deep concern” over the impact of The Muslim Vote campaigning on the election.
Today we speak to Riaz Hassan, the data scientist that we geeked out with showing us the statistical impact of the Muslim Vote in the upcoming general election.
We dig into some spreadsheets, in this episode of Empowered by Islam21c, the weekly podcast where we collaborate with leading voices to discuss Islam’s solutions to 21st century challenges and trends.

On Wednesday morning, a demonstration organised by CAGE International saw an estimated 70+ people converge at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, in solidarity with Marieha Hussain, the bold mother-of-two who last year introduced the satirical depiction of Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman as coconuts.
Six members of staff, the "Coconut Six", were needlessly detained and released overnight, many after a 13-hour ordeal.

Julian Assange is finally free, after years of persecution for the crime of telling the truth.
What did he expose, how was he treated, and what are some of the lessons that we need to reflect on, particularly as Muslims?

At least ten Palestinians, including guards, were martyred in an Israeli attack on people seeking aid supplies in Khan Younis.

“In any world that one would think of, the Israelis have long crossed the lines of credibility, or decency, or morality, of any kind of political acceptance, a long time ago.
“But unfortunately, we don't live in that world. We live in a world where power and might is seen as the legitimate party, and the Palestinians will always be the aggressors and they will always be seen as such, however many children are killed from their side.”

The BBC reports that thousands have been forced to live with the stench of rubbish due to Israel's unabating assault on Gaza.
There are mountains of rotting rubbish that pose severe dangers to health and the environment across the Gaza Strip.
"I cry like any other grandmother would over her grandchildren being sick. This is like a slow death", a displaced woman said.
“Don’t trust what is being said in the media. Every person has their own story, search it out and learn about it.
"People are more than a headline, and the headlines are often a flicker of truth mixed with a thousand lies.”
In this ninth and final instalment of A Boy Named Justice — a unique Islam21c-CAGE International project, authored by Zimarina Sarwar — Shaykh Adel Abdul Bary revisits some of the most painful moments of his two decades behind bars, in Egypt, the UK, and the US.
And we hear about how life after release has been a totally new challenge, one where he has become a guest in his own home, rediscovering himself, his wife, and his children — many of whom were too young to remember their father when he was taken away.
We pray for the true victory and freedom of all those that are wrongfully detained or treated unjustly. At 63 years of age, Shaykh Adel Abdul Bary has lived up to his name; he is no more a boy named Justice, but a man named Justice.

Azhar Chohan is standing as an Independent parliamentary candidate exposing what Labour really thinks about Muslims and BAME communities across the country.

🍉 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.

Tajikistan has imposed a strict hijab ban, referring to it as an "alien garment" despite Muslims making up 96% of the country.
In a country of 9.6 million Muslims, parliament has also outlawed children's festivities during Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
Half a million Palestinians across Gaza are facing "catastrophic levels" of hunger, a UN-backed assessment said on Tuesday.
Over 20% have gone days and nights without eating and about 96% of the population faces high levels of acute food insecurity.
On Monday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was freed from prison after signing a plea deal with the US on an espionage charge.
Assange appeared in a US court in Saipan on Wednesday, where Judge Manglona approved the arrangement after a 14-year battle.
Australian whistleblower Julian Assange is free to return to his home country after a 12-year extradition battle with the US.
Assange’s victory at the end of such a long struggle should remind us that the arc of justice may be long but it always bends in the right direction — our duty is in the struggle, not the outcome.

“The devastating attacks on Nuseirat refugee camp are themselves enough for anyone who has an ounce of compassion or faith in a Creator.
“But it is a clear sign that people simply do not care about the lives of those that the media deliberately chooses to ignore or devalue or dehumanise.”

Zionist leader Benjamin Netanyahu has criticised the US for withholding weapons and slowing Israel's aggression in Gaza.
In a short video on Tuesday, Netanyahu told the US administration, "Give us the tools and we'll finish the job a lot faster."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dissolved the war cabinet after the departure of opposition leader Benny Gantz.
The six-member cabinet was formed on 11 October, after Israel declared war on Hamas. Now in its place is the "kitchen cabinet".
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.

Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad shares some suggested points that may be utilised by Imams and Khatibs for Eid al-Adha 1445 | 2024.
https://www.islam21c.com/khutbah/eid-al-adha-1445-2024/
Taqabbal Allāhu minnā wa minkum ṣālihal-aʿmāl (may Allah accept this worship from you and us); by His grace, we have reached Eid al-Adha 1445.
We pray that you had the best Day of Arafah and were able to extract as much benefit from these special days of Dhul Hijjah as you’d hoped.
Let us also remember to take the time to pray for those enduring hardship within our Ummah — be they in Palestine, East Turkestan, Sudan, Myanmar, Kashmir, India, or anywhere else.
"Brothers and sisters, make the most of the gift Allah has given you. It will not come again..."

“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.
