Having handed himself another six years in power; how we view this news as Muslims is important.

With its latest documentary, Al Jazeera's investigative team has provided evidence of the actual events that took place on 7 October 2023. The ground-breaking investigation has exposed the layers of fabricated narratives intertwined in Israeli, US, and allied mainstream media, that have been responsible for manufacturing public consent for the Gazan genocide. What was initially portrayed as a day marked by horrific acts of violence — including claims of widespread rape and babies being beheaded — has been scrutinised under the meticulous lens of forensic analysis and comprehensive interviews. The findings have revealed a completely different reality, where many of these grievous accusations hold little to no substantiated evidence. The investigation has also shed light on the strategic use of lies, misinformation, and disinformation to justify severe retaliatory measures. As media analyst Dr. Marc Owen Jones notes, "So, how does Israel create a balance by asserting that what they're doing is morally right, even though they're killing way more people? “They have to emphasise the brutality, because they can't just say, 'Well, we've killed less than Hamas.' So, how do they do it? They try to make the significance of those individual deaths even more disgusting and objectionable. If you can activate people's sense of disgust, I think they're more likely to support, for example, dire retribution against Palestinians."

Those eager to tap into the Muslim pound are looking for business growth opportunities through the UK’s four million Muslims. And they plan and research the Muslim consumer market with careful precision too.
Zimarina Sarwar argues, that in a culture where nothing is immune from being turned into a commodity, we need to be vocal and firm to preserve the sacred essence of Ramadan.

Being one man against an oppressive and hostile people set upon immorality, sin, and disbelief, Prophet Lūt (ʿalayhi al-Salām) was strong in his īmān (faith) and tawakkul (trust) in Allah.
His purpose was to lead them back from wickedness to righteousness, from disbelief to belief, and to warn them of the inevitable consequences their actions would bring, if they continued down this path.

Approximately spanning an incredible 4.24 million square miles at its zenith, the Muslim empire reminds us of the tremendous strength and unity that this Ummah is capable of.
This vast expanse was a superb achievement in territorial reach, but also a masterful demonstration of how our predecessors pursued the goal of making Allah’s Word the highest.
Together, we navigated diverse landscapes, from bustling cities and lush valleys to serene deserts and majestic mountains, each adding a unique element to our diverse reach.
Let this historical milestone inspire us to embrace the power of unity, to learn from our previous achievements, and to continue working towards rediscovering our collective strength.

The contributions of Abū al-Qāsim Khalaf ibn al-‘Abbās al-Zahrāwī al-Ansāri, popularly known as al-Zahrawī — the father of surgery — highlight the path of innovation and excellence that our Ummah has tread.
With a staggering 10,000 medical procedures meticulously described in his medical encyclopaedia, al-Zahrawī did not just practise medicine: he redefined it, laying the groundwork for the surgical practices that stand at the forefront of saving lives in this very day.
This huge achievement is a fine example of our intellectual heritage, showcasing the pioneering spirit that has always driven the Islamic world.
al-Zahrawī’s effort teaches us the value of solid dedication, precision, and the courage to venture into new territories of knowledge. Let us draw inspiration from his life, cherishing our rich history of contributions to humanity, and continue to aspire towards more ground-breaking discoveries.

The story of Prophet Ayyub (ʿalayhi al-Salām) stands out from among the stories of the Prophets. His firm belief and strength in the face of immense suffering is a guiding light for us as believers.
He stood alone and relied solely on Allah, making him a central figure in our series on facing adversity.

Traversing over 5,000 miles, the trade routes of the Muslim Empire epitomise the formidable growth of the Ummah.
These routes connected the heart of the Middle East with the vibrant lands of Europe and Asia. Through them flowed not only trade but a rich exchange of ideas, cultures, and mutual understanding.
This extraordinary legacy reminds us of the strength found in collaboration and the boundless potential when we pursue shared goals.
As we reflect on this milestone of our past, let it inspire us to foster further connections and together build a future with similar ambition.

Anyone who tries to fast, even if they are not religious, will share in some of the benefits. For instance, a few years ago, the Principal Director at the Financial Ombudsman took up the challenge to experience one day of Ramaḍān and join his Muslim colleagues in fasting.
Afterwards, he shared his experience, saying that it taught him to not be a jerk to other colleagues. He went on to explain how actively fighting the pangs of hunger tempered his interactions with his colleagues, thus making him more considerate and thoughtful.

Imagine a place where the thirst for knowledge knew no limits, where the wisdom of the ancients met the curiosity of the present. Welcome to the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, a jewel of the Islamic Golden Age, home to an astounding collection of around 17,000 manuscripts.
Manuscripts — documents written by hand, often adorned with beautiful calligraphy — contained the world’s knowledge before the age of printing.
This magnificent library was more than a repository of books; it was a centre of innovation, where scholars of different backgrounds and schools gathered to study, teach, & enhance the knowledge passed down from generations before them.
The House of Wisdom exemplifies the power of curiosity & the relentless pursuit of knowledge. These scholars knew that every manuscript held a piece of the puzzle in understanding the world and improving it. Their dedication shows us that by valuing and cultivating knowledge, we empower individuals, uplift communities, & advance civilisations.

At its peak, the Mughal Empire was a marvel of unity, diversity, and prosperity. Spanning from the early 16th to the mid-19th century, this colossal realm was home to over 100 million souls — that’s nearly a quarter of the world’s population at the time!
The Mughals showed us the remarkable feats humanity can achieve with vision and unity. They built an empire that demonstrated administrative genius, military strength, and economic prosperity.
But their true legacy lies in their ability to dream big and work tirelessly to turn those dreams into reality. They harnessed the collective power of over 100 million people to create a civilisation that was impressive to the rest of the world.
We learn from their story to dream big, work hard, and remember that the strength of a community lies in its unity and collective effort. Let’s channel the spirit of the Mughal Empire to achieve our own lofty goals and create a future filled with prosperity and success.

Visualise Hājar (ʿalayha al-Salām), accompanied by her young son, left by Ibrāhīm (ʿalayhi al-Salām) in the barren valley of Makkah with only a small supply of provisions.
As their resources dwindled and the cries of thirst echoed from her son, the situation seemed hopeless. And yet, Hājar’s faith remained unshaken (ʿalayha al-Salām).
