The Muslim Council of Britain has expressed concern over the surge in anti-Muslim hate crimes.
Manchester Police have reported a sharp increase in Islamophobic offences, rising from 39 incidents per month to 85 in August.
Israel's military struck multiple targets in Yemen, including Sana'a International Airport.
The head of the Houthis' revolutionary committee called the strikes "barbaric" and "aggressive".
The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has accused Israel of failing to conclude a ceasefire agreement.
Hamas stated that Israel has introduced new conditions regarding withdrawal, a ceasefire, & prisoners.
These new conditions have delayed reaching an agreement that was previously within reach.
Pope Francis has condemned the recent Israeli airstrikes on Gaza.
"Yesterday, children were bombed. This is not war. This is cruelty. I want to say this because it touches my heart," he told members of the Roman Curia.
Despite spending billions of dollars on manufactured narratives, the Zionist regime is still unable to control the narrative.
So even if we do not directly see the fruits of spreading informative content, we cannot stop because it is definitely having a direct impact on the road to victory.

Another Pharaoh has fallen - Sh Yasir Qadhi on the liberation of Syria

Uncle Khaled Nabhan, our Person of the Year 1445, has joined the ranks of the shuhadā’ (martyrs), inshāAllah, by being bombed by the enemies of Allah.
We ask Allah that He reunites him in the bodies of green birds with his children, grandchildren, neighbours, relatives, and all the righteous souls blessed with shahāda (martyrdom).
No one in Paradise will wish to leave it — except for the shahīd.
The Prophet ﷺ said that the shahīd will wish that he were returned to this world, only to be martyred again and again, due to the delight and reward given to the shahīd. [Bukhari]
Allah make our beloved uncle such a person, along with all the hundreds of thousands of innocent victims of this bloodthirsty regime and its supporters.

What people get wrong about Syria
"There are many layers to this revolution", says Tauqir "Tox" Sharif, aid worker working and reporting from the ground in Syria for over a decade.
He addresses hopes and concerns regarding the victory of opposition groups, the line between propaganda and reality, and what Muslims particularly in the West can do for Syria going forward, including setting up pressure groups to hold the new leadership to account.

Syria has ousted Bashar al-Assad from office, ending his 24 years as dictator.
May Allah grant victory to all those who remain oppressed and may He enable us to help the oppressors by stopping them from committing further oppression. Amīn.
I lived and studied in Syria between 1995-6, while the father of the now deposed dictator Bashar al-Assad was in power.
Today, as we celebrate the freedom our Syrian brothers and sisters have achieved, we pray that tomorrow will be the day Gaza and the rest of Palestine also rejoice!

A 20-day-old baby in Gaza died on Sunday from a severe cold.
The father of the baby said his son was found with his head "as cold as ice."
Doctors told the mother to keep the newborn warm, but they live in a tent, where temperatures regularly drop below 10 degrees celsius at night.
They don’t have an inferiority complex. YOU do.

28 Rohingya organisations issued a joint statement calling for justice and inclusive governance in Rakhine State.
The statement identified the Myanmar military as "our common enemy."
They called on the rebel Arakan Army to uphold and respect the rights of the Rohingya.
Gaza's Civil Defence reported that Israeli forces are leaving Palestinian bodies in the streets, where stray dogs feed on them, which is a clear violation of international law.

Our beloved uncle and grandfather, Khaled Nabhan, was no ordinary man or martyr. He spent the last year of his life finding ways to comfort displaced children in Gaza.
Earlier this year, he captivated hearts with words that chronicled one of Gaza’s most heart-rending stories of strength amid loss and tribulation — when he poetically described his martyred granddaughter, Reem, as the “soul of my soul”.
