The Ummah needs the entire Ummah
What does this mean?
Where we have different groups of people who focus on particular things — for example, political activism alone, or spirituality alone — such people can benefit from and, in fact, need to benefit from the other. This is why the Ummah needs the entire Ummah, not just one part.

Pain is a tremendous gift, because it is the only life situation that prompts people to make changes.
Allah may impoverish you in order to enrich you, He may deprive you in order to give you, He may break your heart in order to cure it, and He may give death in order to give life.
Similarly, He may close a door in your life, whether by way of death, loss of wealth, breakdown of relationships, or their likes — a pain that is meant to push you further down the corridor of doors, helping you to explore ones that you were previously unwilling to consider.

The world is changing — fast.
From escalating global conflicts to shifting political powers, it feels like history is unfolding in front of us. But here’s the real question:
Are we actually understanding what’s happening?
In this episode of OnGuard, Hamza Tzortzis sits down with Shaykh Dr Haitham al-Haddad to unpack a perspective many Muslims are missing. Because if we misunderstand the nature of this world — its purpose, its struggles, its conflicts — then everything else starts to feel confusing.

Majid Freeman trial nears end
Earlier this week, our brother and fellow supporter of the Palestinian cause, Majid Freeman, remained resolute during intense cross-examination, with the prosecution questioning him on "the resistance" and alleged support for Hamas.
The state has employed the old conflationary approach (anti-Zionism being mixed up with anti-Semitism); in this case they've falsely claimed that support for the Palestinian resistance is potential evidence of support for a banned organisation.
Majid's trial is expected to conclude next week, we pray for his victory.
We need to use our voice on 7 May
Along with local elections in Scotland and Wales, mayoral and local elections will also be taking place in England.
With 5,014 council seats to be contested across England, we're strongly encouraged to give our vote to the candidate who has a proven record in benefiting their community.
We also need to vote strategically, such that we avoid handing power to individuals and/or political parties that are Islamophobic in nature.
We’re pleased to reveal a new speaker joining us at The Big Question in London.
Shaykh Fadel is a respected speaker and educator, known for addressing the challenges facing families and children today.
Join us for this vital conversation on how to raise children in an age of toxic ideologies.

They're trying to jail Majid Freeman!
Our brother and aid worker Majid Freeman's jury trial began on Monday at Birmingham Crown Court.
He is accused of three charges under the Terrorism Act of 2000, owing to his brave support for the Palestinian people and their right to resist illegal occupation.
The trial, which is expected to last a fortnight, comes two months after the High Court ruled that the government's proscription of Palestine Action was disproportionate and unlawful. However, while the government appeals against this ruling, the ban technically remains in effect. This has left a serious grey area.
We urge everyone who views this post to share it with family, friends, and colleagues. Please also follow any developments during the trial. This could become one of the most important legal cases when it comes to expressing support for Palestine.

Behind the language of mediation in the US–Iran war lies a familiar pattern of dependency, where Pakistan operates within a framework it does not control.

Why are we reliant on Israel?
Parts of the Ummah are heavily reliant on the Zionist state for not only energy but also water.
In light of the recent attacks on Iran and Lebanon, we cannot afford to remain at the mercy of such regimes. Muslim countries need to become independent, as well as dependent upon one another.
