The murder of George Floyd, a black man, in broad daylight by a white police officer has once again brought the institutionalised racism America suffers from to the forefront. The cries of brutal slavery which blacks underwent for centuries still echo today, despite the promises of reform, integration and token apologies for the past. America in the last decades has prided itself of being a ‘melting pot’ for all peoples and races. The reality to this claim is far from the truth. A PEW research centre from April 2019 revealed that more than eight-in-ten black adults say the legacy of slavery affects the position of black people in America today. About two-thirds of blacks (68%) say being black generally hurts a person’s ability to get ahead in the country. The research also found that majority of blacks, Hispanics and Asians say they have experienced discrimination because of their race or ethnicity. Islam never has and will tolerate discrimination based on colour. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in his last sermon said: “All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action”. Islam is the ideological cure for racism. #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #racism #america #protest #i̇slam #prophetmuhammad
Tragic accident today where a plane crashed in Karachi killing nearly everyone on board and those living in the area where it landed. It happened on the last Jumah of Ramadhan. May Allah accept the deceased as Shaheed inshallah, forgive their sins and grant their families sabrun jameel in this difficult time. Ameen. #karachiplanecrash #ramadhan #karachi #pakistan
"...their faith must be compatible with British values and with loyalty to Britain. That means disposing of the first taboo, and accepting that the problem is Islam. Islam is the problem." “To any non-Muslim reader of the Koran, Islamophobia – fear of Islam – seems a natural reaction, and, indeed, exactly what that text is intended to provoke. Judged purely on its scripture – to say nothing of what is preached in the mosques – it is the most viciously sectarian of all religions in its heartlessness towards unbelievers...The trouble with this disgusting arrogance and condescension is that it is widely supported in Koranic texts, and we look in vain for the enlightened Islamic teachers and preachers who will begin the process of reform. What is going on in these mosques and madrasas? When is someone going to get 18th century on Islam’s mediaeval ass?” Britain's current Prime Minister, Boris Johnson- Spectator Magazine (16/07/2005). #borisjohnson #britishpm #britain #london #politics #spectatormagazine #conservatives
“In 2005 five Auckland mosques had their walls tagged & their windows smashed in “retaliation” for the terror attack in London”. Spinoff Website Has the #newzealand PM conveniently focused away from the history of white supremacists in her country? Mosque attacks have happened before in the dark era of the ‘War on Terror’, where migrants have been on the receiving end of violence. By wearing the veil has she honoured the real discussions that should be taking place? #newzealandmosqueattack #jacindaardern #instaquotes #instahighlight #instagramers #terrorism
“An Australian player had turned to me on the field and said, 'Take that, Osama' [a reference to Osama Bin Laden]. I could not believe what I had heard. I remember going really red. I have never been so angry on a cricket field”. Australian players are merely are reflection of the attitudes their national Media and Government display towards the Muslim community. #moeenali #englandcricketteam #australiancricketteam #insta #instagram #instagramers #instagramer #instaquote #instaphoto @channel9 @itvnews @channel4news @skysports @skynews @geonews_urdu @samaanews @arynewstv
A’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to strive more in worship during Ramadan than he strove in any other time of the year; and he would devote himself more (in the worship of Allah) in the last ten nights of Ramadan than he did in earlier part of the month.

Data of millions of Facebook users has been used in election campaigns. Initially authorised only for research purposes, the data was then used without Facebooks authorisation and consent to target voters by understanding their concerns, interests, political opinions; information generated through each users Facebook feeds. Facebook could do nothing about it! The social media giant may present itself as a new way for people to voice themselves through its platforms. But the reality is that Democracy is organised and reserved for the ruling elite and in the process people are used as pawns to achieve specific political objectives. Do you trust the Democratic way with all its flaws?
The West argue that Islam has no real place in the modern world and it needs to readjust itself to fit in with its values. But, Islam is for all times, generations and places and nothing has been omitted from the Kitaab (Quran) that does not address contemporary and future issues. Islam addresses the individual and society with clear detailed rules that disciplined the world in the past and will do so once again, Bi’ithnilla. Muslims welcome the debate. #islam #kaaba #unity #instagram #instagood #instagramer
Narrated by Ibn ‘Asaakir, from Maseerah b. Jaleese, where he heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: “This matter (the Khilafah) will continue after me in Al-Madina, then (move to) Al-Shaam, then to the peninsula, then to Iraq, then to the city, then to Bait-ul-Maqdis. So if it reaches Bait-ul-Maqdis, then it would have reached its (natural resting place); and no people who remove it (i.e. the capital of the Khilafah) from their land will ever get it back again (for them to be the capital again).” #jerusalemcity #jerusalem #jerusalém #palestine #israel #capital #future #khilafah #newday #insta #instagram #instagramer #instapic #handsoffalaqsa #handsoffjerusalem

Will PM Imran Khan end corruption in 19 days and Terrorism in 90 days?

By Majed Iqbal– Pakistan has turned over a new leaf by electing Imran Khan from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) as their new Prime Minister. Election fever was high pitched as the three main parties including PML- N and PPP went all guns blazing. Character assassinations, mudslinging, low blows, exposes, self-imposed exiles, former PM behind bars and […]

Muharram 1439- “New Year- New Directions”

By Majed Iqbal- Welcome to Muharram, the new year in the Islamic calender. No, it doesn’t involve fireworks displays, doing the midnight countdown or partying til the early hours of the morning. Instead, Muslims have a unique opportunity to make a new start and utilise the blessings of this month to set themselves in a […]
