💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 The way to help the oppressed Muslims in other lands
Isn't through noisy protests, waving flags with one's hands,
Making TikTok videos so global peace you demand,
Damaging public property, sharing online rants,
Dancing, or making graffiti with paint or spray cans.

If groups at school were mistreated by violent gangs,
Would you march around with banners, yelling vibrant chants?
Would you destroy those bullies' items because "you can",
And carry posters to show the bullied you're their fans?
Or will you call the admin, so they shall take a stand?
~•~
Ironic how in these instances some get alarmed,
When triggered, they're eager to use their voice as their arms,
With much vigor to protest in a courageous stance,
Yet when the Imaam in their area calls the Adhaan,
To perform prayers in the Masjid, just few respond.

Try to do these, to help the oppressed in other lands:
Advise them to make Hijrah, to migrate, if they can.
If they can't transfer, due to a complex circumstance,
Tell them to stay patient and await Jannah's entrance,
While you do Da'wah so people understand Islam.
~•~
Do charity if you can, to help those who were harmed.
Send food, medical supplies, clothes, blankets so they're warm,
And if you can, sponsor children who've become orphans.
The least we can do is mention them in our Du'as.
Pray for the Ummah, as we trust Allah the Most Just.

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The believer is one who is trusted by the people. The Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe. The emigrant is one who emigrates away from evil.
