Faith, fame and finding his voice: How Farzaan became Farzy
Despite growing up in a traditional Muslim and Indian household, 23-year-old content creator Farzaan “Farzy” Aleem said his connection to Islam was not where he wanted it to be when he first began producing videos.
“When I first started making content, my Iman wasn’t as high as it should’ve been,” he said. “I was 20 years old, and I didn’t have much knowledge. I had zero Muslim friends. The people around me didn’t really do anything religious… so I was the same.”
ICC issues arrest warrants for two Taliban leaders over persecution of women
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants Tuesday for Taliban Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada and Abdul Hakim Haqqani, head of the Afghanistan Supreme Court.
The warrants were announced in a statement by the ICC’s Office of the Prosecutor.
US removes HTS from terror list
The United States will remove Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a Syrian Islamist militant group, from its Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement Monday.
“In line with President Trump’s May 13 promise to deliver sanctions relief to Syria, I am announcing my intent to revoke the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) designation of al-Nusrah Front, also known as Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), under the Immigration and Nationality Act,” Rubio said.
đź“– Quran Verse & Hadith of the Day: Dhikr (remembrance of Allah)
📖 Quran – Surah Raad, verse 28
Those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort.
🕊️ Hadith – Jami` at-Tirmidhi, Book 48, Hadith 8
Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Should I not inform you of the best of your deed, and the purest of them with your Master, and the highest of them in your ranks, and what is better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks, and they strike your necks?” The Companions of Allah’s Messenger said: “Of course.” He said, “The remembrance of Allah [Most High].” [Then] Muadh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “There is nothing that brings more salvation from the punishment of Allah than the remembrance of Allah.”
