Palestine

In a Western world where Gaza is reduced to statistics and moral platitudes, Iqbal demands that we see the situation for what it is: not a “conflict,” but a colonial project of extermination. He exposes the hypocrisy of philosophers who preach compassion while denouncing those who dare to resist. For that, he deserves gratitude.

But as Muslims, we must respond differently. We cannot allow History to replace God, or revolution to replace redemption. We must struggle, but we must also forgive; we must resist, but we must also pray. Justice, for us, is not merely the rearrangement of power but the restoration of moral order — the return of human beings to their proper relationship with the Creator.
