If I had to carry my family members in a plastic bag after being bombed to bits I would want to burn the whole world down. I cannot believe what we are witnessing everyday. You think you've seen the worst and then more comes.

- The softness of Palestinian men while they are faced with such brutality and oppression is unlike anything I've ever seen. The mercy they show, the loudness of their love, the care. May they be enveloped in mercy and love here and forever.The father of the little girl Reem used her earring like a badge because it’s the only souvenir from his beloved daughter.
00:00 - I don't tweet much about Palestine in my own words and mostly retweet because what is there left to say. I have nothing that Palestinians have not already said 100 times over.
- What an exhausting year man. Well done everyone. Honestly, well done.
- Women are often told they work "too much" but this is only applied to work they do outside of the home. No one ever tells a woman she is "working too much" when the work pertains to duties like cooking and cleaning.
- There was a time where I was praying istikharah every day because I really didn't know what to do and really just wanted Allah to guide me. When I tell you after months and months of hardship, I woke up one morning and my situation had changed beyond belief. Pray istikharah 🧡
- The Mariah Carey of RamadanMaher Zain when ramadan starts
- Omar Suleiman basically realised everyone's depressed, their families are long and we need to heal our inner child. A beautiful faith based approach in the why me series mashaAllah.
- My parents asked me what Glastonbury is and I explained that it is like hajj for white people
- We were all too complacent, we were all too comfortable. Allah forgive us. It shouldn't have gotten here.
- Someone said today that the women with the best husbands are those that hate men the most And I can see the point here looool. They don't put up with shit 😂
- This ramadan has been unlike any other I have experienced. Ridiculously tired, exhausted and fatigued. If you're feeling the same just know it's not just you! Literally everyone I am speaking to is feeling the same this year.
- 🥇Today Omar Ismail just became the first ever Palestinian taekwondo athelete to qualify for the Olympics. He'll be there this summer in Paris representing the Palestine National team 🇵🇸
