Salaamu alaykum all, ina lilahi wa ina ilayhi rajiun. To Allah we belong and to Him we will return.
I heard about the terrorist attack that took place in New Zealand today. SubhanAllah, it is so upsetting to even think of what has happened. But we must not neglect it.
I pray that Allah grants all of those who have passed away Jannat tul Firdaus and may Allah grant their family and all of us, patience.
Whilst some may want to retort with violence I hope that we all remain calm and patient. Responding to hate with hate doesn't help anyone.
Brothers and sisters, it is a difficult time we live in, but through our support of one another, we will prosper.
Please take care of yourselves and be vigilant. Also, please make dua for all of those affected by this horrible attack.
“The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.”

I will be posting a chapter on this in sha Allah at a later date.
