Ibn Al-Salah said, “It has been narrated that the Angels were not granted the virtue of reciting the Quran. Due to that, they hasten to listen to its recitation from mankind. Hence, reciting the Quran is a blessing that Allah has honored you with, so take advantage of it.”

17 year old Mohammad Abu Khdeir’s body found charred and killed this morning in Occupied Jerusalem. Security Cameras showed Mohammad being kidnapped by settlers, where he was carried into a vehicle and later tortured and killed. He was returning from morning prayer but never made it home.

Saving Face (2012), acid attacks on women in Pakistan

Meanwhile, in America, feminists are complaining about how dress codes are oppressive.

You idiots have never experienced oppression, and pray you never do, because this is what it looks like.

As a South Asian American feminist, let me remind everyone that oppression is not a competition.

Just because we fight one type of sexism doesn’t mean we don’t care about other instances of sexism that don’t affect us directly in our day to day lives.

My heart goes out to this woman and the hundreds of other victims like her. I want to educate people about these kinds of incidents. I support organizations that help women like this.

You may think that dress code issues are trivial, but they are related to a larger issue of women’s bodily autonomy, which affects women’s health and safety.

So please, let’s try to bring awareness and bring about change instead of insulting entire groups of people because they are facing issues that are less scary than the one presented.

“oppression is not a competition”

thank you so much for this wording

Only then you come to face reality as it is, and the so made so small troubles your facing that has been shrinked by your positivity are enlarged by your depression.
