“If you live, live free, or die like the trees, standing up”
~Mahmoud Darwish
Human rights should not be conditional. We do not get rights because someone decides we are worthy of them; we get them because we are “human”.
Oh Allah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah , I am free.
Free to practice my religion.
Free to speak, eat, sleep, and walk.
Alhamdulillah.
But may You free Palestine and grant them the best here and the Hereafter, for they are the people who didn’t surrender , who kept raising these words as a slogan with heavy hearts :
“Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.”
Their screams echo so loudly and pierce our hearts into pieces.
And what about the Israelis? They have hearts, yet are heartless.
How do they sleep at night?
Do the burnt bodies not terrify them in their dreams?
Do the cries of starving children not move their humanity even an inch?
But I believe, I hope wholeheartedly .. InshAllah … Palestinians will win.
Truth will win.
Humanity will win.
