this morning I learned
the English word gauze
(finely woven medical cloth)
comes from the Arabic word غزّة or Ghazza
because Gazans have been skilled weavers for centuries

i wondered then
how many of our wounds
have been dressed
because of them

and how many of theirs
have

ہمیں خبر ہے کہ ہم ہیں چراغ آخر شب
ہمارے بعد اندھیرا نہیں اجالا ہے ۔

हमें ख़बर है कि हम हैं चराग़-ए-आख़िर-ए-शब
हमारे बाद अंधेरा नहीं उजाला है

Picture from our Harvard Business School days. 🙏

حضور ﷺ نعت کا مطلع سجا دیا جائے
حضور ﷺ عرض ہے چہرہ دکھا دیا جائے

حضور ﷺ آپ کی صحبت کو ہم ترستے ہیں
حضور ﷺ وقت کو پیچھے ہٹا دیا جائے

حضور ﷺ خوف بہت ہے ہمارے سینوں میں
حضور ﷺ موت کا مطلب بتا دیا جائے

حضور ﷺ سائیں حسن اور حسین کا ہوں مرید
حضور ﷺ مولا علی سے ملا دیا جائے

Really happy to share the good news that Muhammad Rizwan Bhai has been blessed with another baby girl.

Rizwan Bhai, Allah SWT ki ye rehmat bhi buhat buhat mubarak ho. In sha Allah ye beti bhi mazeed kamyabi, khushyon, jorr or khair ka sabab bane gi, Ameen.

at the trial of God,
we will ask, 'why did you allow all this?'
and the answer will be an echo,
'why did you allow all this?”

This is a message to the broken & defeated
To those who are not waiting for a message from anyone
To those living in the prisons of silence
You are not alone.
We are with you and we feel you.

ویکھیں سائیاں
مات نہ ہووے
میرا مان حوالے تیرے.

First they ignore you.
Then they ridicule you.
And then they attack you
and want to burn you.
And then they build monuments to you.

—Nicholas Klein

Judge tenderly, if you must.
There is usually a side you have not heard,
a story you know nothing about,
and a battle waged
that you are not having to fight.

—Traci Lea LaRussa

Our last conversation
ended with yelling.

We both said things
we didn't mean.
I heard there is
a woman in Palestine
who makes flower pots
out of used grenades.

From this I learned
The explosion is not
How the story has to end.

—Rudy Francisco
