I didnt want to tweet about #GeorgeFloyd because the dehumanizing media articles that come out continously will not consider a real person any more.

"man"
"dies"
"while in custody"

No name, no respect afforded, no truth.

The media's false perceptions of fairness.
Desensitizing oppression,
normalizing it,
negating the oppresseds emotions and outrage with false analogies,
asking the oppressed to be grateful for what they have,
negating of the reality of the problen,
and then responding with disproportionate force,

are tools of oppression
Educate yourself
History matters
Recognize how you are being mentally colonized and free yourself from the shackles of despondency by our comfort.

The inhuman, devilish way they treated #GeorgeFloyd stems from that ignorance, desensitization, and negating humane treatment.
This goes beyond your own comfort

If your outrage by seeing a man dying on video, or that your peace of mind is distrubed more than systemic ingrained mindset that makes a man kneel on anothers neck until he dies screaming #ICantBreathe

Your comfort is blinding you & your heart
May we have hearts that are not numbed
Souls that are vigilant
Eyes that dont stop shedding tears
Empathy that is limitless
Resilience that will never waver in asking for justice
Hope in knowing that we will live for a better future
Care that isnt limited for only "my own"
All of this b/c I rather fight for it & rectify my present rather than let history write me as the conscious detractor who enabled injustice w my silence to salvage my comfort

I rather fight for truth rather than be enslaved by anyone, or worse,
by my own despondency & inaction
Islamic thinker Sayyid Qutb observations of America in 1949-1951

In the Shade of the Quran
V7/121-124
(pg1470 ia801906.us.archive.org/20/items/Quran… )

"I saw them treating coloured people, esp those who were Muslim, with hateful arrogance & much brutality..."

What changed?

People who have zero training in Fiqh need to be called out for being a danger to the Muslim community in their commentary.

@mohammed_hijab is an ignorant person on Fiqh and has no qualification, doing takfir in Ramadan on people with absolutely zero und of judicial law.
I call on @HATzortzis and @SapienceOrg and any other organization to reign him in and stop addressing issues he has no business talking about, or remove him as he's a danger and a bad example for the 100,000s of young people following him.
If YouTubers amassing followers and then putting out click bait videos on takfir is becoming the standard of people listening to others, our community needs to stop platforming these individuals.

They do not study. Their humility is none. Their teachers are unknown.

In my Tafsir of Surah Taha ayah 95-99 we wrapped up the story of Musa عليه السلام with Children of Israel and Samiriy

Some amazing points & insight that was relevant to our modern contexts including the following:

- People are misled via propaganda that appeals to their desires
- The lessons of understanding how people are affected by their environment in assimilating to theologies and vices they are engrossed in

- The establishment of faith is through education not just only establishing punishments and consequences in a society.
- The following of faith is in applying the guidance (commandments, prohibitions, guidance in interaction) not just acknowledging the spiritual aspect or accepting theology.

The fact Afg gov has no route to petition leadership who is hiding, no route to hear grievances formally unless "you know someone," and no gov procedure to address concerns public - what do you expect the Afg people to do?

This is despotic behavior & history speaks louder.
No one will be stifled because "security is more important" - war is over youre responsible for people's security.

No one will be dismissed at "look at what occupatio did and corrupt regime for 20 years" - can never dismiss the Afg gov's responsibility for its lacks.
Islamic government is found in the example of the Rashidun caliphate -

Abu Bakr who used to have open call for people to petition government complaints and allow protesting for grievances

Umar who allowed open access to him and would be available even in the masjid.

Some Quran reciters you may have never heard about that are my favorites in this🧵:
1. My good friend, Umar Muhammad Al Qasim
- a student of the late Imam of Masjid Al Nabawi Muhammad Ayyub rahimahullah
& the Imam of Masjid Quba and Masjid Al Nabawi Muhammad Khalil

1st Night of Tarawih 2022
2. His brother, also my good friend
Muhammad Uthman Al Qasim

Dont ask me which brother I like more. I love them both!

"covered head-to-toe in accordance w strict new dress policies for education"

This is in fact not true
They wore it of their own agency

Afg gov already has announced they will not mandate women to cover their faces or wear anything in addition to hijab that is already normative
When media publish slanted pieces of not even verifying facts like this, it makes it incredibly difficult to have integrity.

Is women's rights are afforded to everyone except for women who wear hijab and niqab?
If a woman is free to wear whatever hijab she would like people also should have tolerance in their perception of these women's choices and not be bigoted.

IEA gov already has announced they are not mandating women cover their faces. People seem to not care about facts.

I find it problematic we as a community demand qualification while we have twitter users and entire platforms regularly speaking on Islam without said qualification.

It's not a selective process.

Ask literally anyone what their qualifications are to make x comments.
If someone's qualifications or teachers are "unknown" then dont learn or listen to them about what Islam means until you do

Isnad is from the deen. If it were not for Isnad, anyone would say what they wish. Image
Muhammad Ibn Sirin:

"This knolwedge is deen, carefully look whom you take your deen from" Image
