In the name of Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. In the midst of the Zionist-Palestinian war, global leaders, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, cannot afford to remain silent or neutral. Such a passive stance amounts to abandoning the truth, particularly as Zionist forces employ various means to kill trapped civilians. The imperative for leaders, regardless of their religious or cultural backgrounds, is to speak out against the atrocities, acknowledging the harsh realities and committing to principles of justice and human rights. Neutrality, in this context, risks complicity in the injustices and undermines the urgent need for a collective, vocal response that prioritizes the protection of human life and the pursuit of a just resolution. This current state of affairs reflects not only a failure of leadership but also a form of selective punishment. The consequences of remaining passive in the face of such a crisis are profound. The principles of justice, human rights, and international solidarity call for a more vocal and proactive stance. The world's leaders, especially those who champion the values of freedom and uphold the tenets of Islam, must recognize the urgency of the situation. The plight of innocent civilians demands a collective response that goes beyond political considerations. Remaining neutral in the face of injustice only serves to perpetuate suffering and undermines the very ideals that leaders claim to champion. #allah #muhammad #islam #quran #jesus #christians #christmas #muslims #jews #idol #university #torah #bible #theology #muslims #languageLine #clearvoice #usa #uk #afghan #karachi #pakistan #makkah #london #newyork #paris #rome #qatar #oman #palestine #spain #japan #germany #saudiarabia #turkey #iran #ireland #scotland #wales #india #russia #china #bangladesh #srilanka #southafrica #uae #dubai #egypt #france #sweden #holland #lahore #morocco #argentina #peru #mexico #gaza #unitednations #Palestine #norway #amnesty #savethechildren #gaza

Celebrating Diversity and Unity on National Minorities Day – 11th August On this important day, we remember the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) that highlight the sanctity of life and the importance of justice, regardless of faith or background. The hadith quoted in this image reminds us that protecting the rights and lives of non-Muslims under a peace treaty is not just a legal obligation but a moral one that resonates with the essence of humanity. "Whoever kills a non-Muslim under a peace treaty (unjustly) will not even smell the fragrance of paradise, even though its fragrance can be detected from a distance of forty years." ----> (Sahih Bukhari #3166) This message is a timeless reminder of the values we should uphold in our diverse world. Let's stand together to foster an environment of respect, peace, and understanding for all communities. #Diversity #Unity #MinoritiesDay #RespectForAll #PeaceAndJustice #IslamicTeachings

Reflections on Justice and Honor: From the Crusades to Modern Times In 1187, a pivotal moment in the history of the Crusades occurred: the Christian king of Jerusalem surrendered the city to Salahuddin, the Muslim sultan of Egypt and Syria. This event transcended the narrative of mere conquest, serving as a testament to the principles of justice and honorable conduct in warfare. Salahuddin was not only a figure of honor and compassion in victory but also a steward of religious harmony. Under his rule, Jerusalem became a haven of peace where Muslims, Christians, and Jews coexisted with mutual respect and were granted equal rights. This was a remarkable achievement, especially considering the era's religious and political tensions. Such a harmonious coexistence starkly contrasts with the distressing realities of the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. In this contemporary conflict, Israeli forces have been implicated in actions resulting in the loss of innocent lives, including children, women, and the elderly. Further exacerbating the situation, the destruction of Palestinian homes and schools, along with a severe blockade on the Gaza Strip, has critically hindered access to basic necessities. This reflection seeks to draw a comparison not just in terms of the conduct of war but also in the approach to religious and cultural cohabitation. Salahuddin’s era exemplified that even amidst conflict, it is possible to maintain peace and respect among diverse religious communities. In revisiting these historical episodes, we are reminded that justice, honor, and peaceful coexistence are not utopian ideals but achievable realities. Salahuddin's legacy urges us to strive for these values in our own time, inspiring us to seek a future where dignity, respect, and harmony prevail in even the most challenging circumstances. #justice #war #Palestine #Salahuddin #Christian #king #Jerusalem #gaza #gazagenocide

IRF Roundtable Chair for Pakistan at International Religious Freedom Roundtable WEF G100 Gender-Based Violence Chair for Pakistan UN Peace Ambassador
Islam has a rich history of intellectual exchange and collaboration, particularly during the Golden Era when Muslim, Jewish, and Christian scholars worked together peacefully. It is important to remember that Islam embraces rational thinking and encourages questioning, as evidenced by the Prophet Muhammad's tolerance for opposing viewpoints and his support for women's intellectual growth. As Muslims, we must strive to broaden our understanding of different cultures and perspectives, as stated in the Quran's teachings on diversity and unity. I would like to share a documentary on Muslim-Jewish reconciliation in America, created by my esteemed uncle, Professor Dr. Akbar Ahmed. This film sheds light on the importance of fostering understanding and cooperation among different faith communities in today's world.

The pre-Islamic Zoroastrian Civilization of Iran was a cornerstone of Western Civilization, with its roots deeply intertwined with the teachings of Zoroaster and the leadership of King Cyrus. This rich heritage laid the foundation for many of the values and principles that define the West today. However, with the rise of Islam, the legacy of Zoroastrianism faded into obscurity, and the world lost touch with its profound wisdom. Today, as we face the challenges posed by radical Islam, it is crucial to remember the lessons of history. The threat to Western Civilization is real, and the parallels between the past and present are striking. The resurgence of Zoroastrianism could serve as a powerful antidote, reminding us of the values that have shaped our world and inspiring us to stand strong against those who seek to undermine them. In the face of adversity, a Zoroastrian revival offers hope and a renewed sense of purpose. By reconnecting with the wisdom of the past, we can forge a path forward that honors our heritage while embracing the challenges of the future. The time has come to reclaim our roots and ensure that the legacy of Zoroastrianism continues to inspire and guide us for generations to come.

In the midst of our busy lives, it's invaluable to pause and draw inspiration from the timeless wisdom of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). One profound Hadith that resonates with me is: "Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith." This Hadith emphasizes the core principle of compassion and benevolence that forms the foundation of Islamic teachings. As we navigate the challenges of the professional world, let us strive to embody kindness in our actions, interactions, and decisions. 💼 Application in the Professional Sphere: In the workplace, kindness fosters a positive environment, strengthens team bonds, and contributes to a culture of respect. It's a powerful tool that transcends cultural and religious boundaries, creating a space where individuals can thrive collectively. 🌐 Global Relevance: In today's interconnected world, the universal message of kindness is more relevant than ever. Regardless of our backgrounds or beliefs, embracing kindness in our professional endeavors can create a ripple effect, fostering understanding and harmony. https://lnkd.in/gdHNMZ_x . . . . . . . #IslamicEducation #IslamicTeaching #IslamicLeadership #IslamicValues #IslamicScholarship #QuranicStudies #Hadith #IslamicEthics #IslamicFinance #IslamicBusiness #IslamicPhilanthropy #MuslimProfessionals #IslamicCommunity #IslamicLifestyle #IslamAndTechnology #IslamicArt #IslamicHistory #IslamicCulture #IslamicHeritage #IslamicAwareness #IslamicInspiration #HalalIndustry #IslamicEntrepreneurship #IslamicNetworking #USA #Canada #UK #Australia #India #China #Japan #Germany #France #Brazil #SouthAfrica #Mexico #UAE #SaudiArabia #Pakistan #Indonesia #Turkey #Nigeria #Kenya #Singapore
