If there were a genuine Muslim coalition, the Zionist entity would no longer exist; however, for years, the Arab world has been torn apart from both within and without.
Global media—controlled by Zionist banking power—have manipulated everything to cast Muslims and Islam as the villains, even though we know very well who is pulling the strings.
Soon, Aïssa (peace be upon him) will return and bring peace to the world. Inch'Allah

"It is necessary that the weakness of the powerless is transformed into a force capable of announcing justice." - Paulo Freire, The Pedagogy of the Oppressed
"I'm not into politics" isn't an option or a choice that one opts into and out of. This posture is more likely to reflect an individual, group or community's political will, sense of responsibility to others, and/or negligence to acknowledge the costs, benefits and consequences of political realities, as well as how power, status, wealth and capital define the parameters and conditions of living. However, choosing to do nothing, remaining passive, including disengagement or withdrawal, is a choice.
Oftentimes, the idea of being "apolitical" comes from a place of discomfort, fear, avoidance, overwhelm, misunderstanding, privilege and more. There is no such thing as neutrality. Everything in our lives is political - cost of living, whether you have access to clean water and food, whether you have a home, own a method of transportation and more - including many other dimensions we don't choose like where you are born (geographic location), your race, gender, status, mobility, whether or not you live with a disability, etc.
Whether you identify as political or not, your life is certainly impacted by politics. Worse, it can sometimes make you part of the problem, despite your intentions.
"Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral." - Paulo Freire, The Politics of Education

I've been reflecting on...
One of the greatest strengths of the Muslim world has always been its diversity. Arab societies and Muslim communities span many countries, languages, cultures, and political systems, yet we are connected by something far deeper than borders: our faith in Allah and our shared values of justice, mercy, honesty, and compassion.
Politics will always differ from one nation to another, and people will naturally have different opinions about how societies should be governed. But as Muslims, our conversations should reflect the character that Islam teaches us. We should be able to discuss important issues with wisdom, respect, and sincerity rather than anger and division.
History reminds us that the Muslim world has made lasting contributions to civilization through scholarship, science, medicine, architecture, literature, and trade. These achievements flourished when knowledge, justice, and cooperation were valued. They remind us that a strong society is built not only through leadership, but through the integrity and responsibility of its people.
Whether we are Arab or non-Arab, our greatest identity is that of servants of Allah. The Qur'an teaches us that human beings were created into different peoples and tribes so that we may know one another, not look down on one another. Our diversity is a blessing when it leads to understanding, mutual respect, and unity.
My hope is that Muslims everywhere continue to engage with the challenges facing our communities thoughtfully and ethically, always remembering that our words and actions should reflect the values of our faith.
I'd love to hear your perspective: What qualities do you believe are most important for building strong, just, and compassionate Muslim communities today?
May Allah guide our leaders with wisdom, bless our communities with peace and justice, unite our hearts upon righteousness, and help us be a source of goodness wherever we live. Ameen. 🤲

To define the two groups, and yes yes UK has both groups as well. Sufis would be defined as a muslim sect that follows more 'spiritually' minded scholars. They stress the spirit of the law more than the letter. Generally, they will make following an imam in fiqh a big deal. Salafis, they will follow the more 'textual' minded scholars. They will stress Quraan and Sunnah over the following of a scholar. Keep in mind, not all Salafis are against following a madhab in fiqh. Why did both of these groups try to claim Imam an Nawawi, the author of the 40 hadith? Simple politics...he never spoke against either group in detail. He also followed hadith, pleasing the salafis, but was a strict shafiee in his usool, pleasing the traditional sufis. God knows best.
