Truly well penned. They are gone, and the martyrs are alive with Allah (in His company), but we must keep theit memories alive in our actions by carrying on the torch they carried and handed off.

I've been meaning to write a slightly different reflective piece on Amo Khaled, and the Syrian man who was found after so long from sadnaya prison by his sister who says اسمي انتهى when asked about his name. I'll tag your post in mine iA.

Such a beautiful piece with reminders and questions that should shake us to our core. May Allah use us to help others, to bring comfort and joy and ease. May He always pull us back to Him, beautifully and gently, whenever we lose focus. Jazaki Allah khairan for this 💐

Their lives, marked by resilience, service, and unwavering faith, remind us that even in the face of unimaginable pain, there is room for light. To honor their sacrifices, we must channel our grief into purpose - learning from their dedication and allowing their legacies to guide us. This is not about forgetting but moving forward with the lessons they’ve left behind: to serve selflessly, to resist injustice, to empower our communities, and to live with accountability to both humanity and Allah. Their lives show us how to rise above complacency and make our actions a tribute to the change they embodied.
