Minara Special Edition: Harnessing the Power of Prayer for Palestine 🌙

Today, in light of the ongoing yet recently highlighted conflict in Palestine, we bring you a special edition of our newsletter, emphasising the need for us to come together as an Ummah.

Palestine is once again at the epicentre of a devastating conflict.

Palestinians, many of them as we know to be young children, are facing tragedies that words can hardly encompass.

Homes destroyed, families shattered, and spirits tested. In these dire moments, it's pivotal for us, the global Muslim Ummah, to stand with them — in action, in spirit, and in prayer.

The common feeling amongst us all right now is helplessness.

Not physically being able to aid our brothers and sisters in Palestine is agonising for many.

This is where we remember, the weapon of a believer is their dua. Here are a few you can recite:

1. Dua for protection: اللهم احفظ إخواننا في فلسطين من كل سوء وادفع عنهم البلاء والوباء

(Translation: "O Allah, protect our brothers and sisters in Palestine from all harm and shield them from afflictions and disease.")

2. Dua for patience and strength: اللهم ثبت أقدامهم وامدهم بروح منك وأنزل السكينة عليهم

(Translation: "O Allah, make their feet firm, strengthen them with a spirit from You, and send tranquility upon them.")

You can recite these duas after your salah, or in your quiet moments alone.

1. Spread Awareness: Use your platforms. Whether it's social media, community gatherings, or family conversations, talk about the plight of Palestinians.

2. Educate Yourself: Delve into the history of the conflict. Understand its nuances to truly understand the 75-year struggle of our fellow brothers and sisters.

3. Be Bold, Yet Compassionate: Stand firm against misinformation in the media and in person, but always approach conversations with knowledge and respect.

4. Pray for Them: Never underestimate the ripple effect of a sincere dua, reaching the skies and returning as mercy.

💌 Closing Note

While we may not be on the ground, our prayers can soar across borders, walls, and barriers. Let's unite in our heartbeats and breaths for Palestine. Keep the faith, keep praying, and keep advocating for peace and justice.

“...And Allah will surely support those who support Him…” (Quran, 22:40)
