Islam is the world’s fastest-growing religion, PEW study finds

The PEW Research Center published a study on Tuesday saying that Islam was the fastest-growing religion in the world between 2010 and 2020, reaching two billion adherents.

The study explained that while Christianity grew by 122 million people over the 10-year duration, Islam grew by 347 million people, a 20% increase since the study began.

Gaza death toll tops 55,000, majority are women and children: Gaza Health Ministry

At least 55,104 Palestinians have been killed and over 127,394 injured from Israel’s grueling 20-month assault on the Gaza Strip, the enclave’s Health Ministry announced on Wednesday.

Most of the casualties in the ongoing war have been women and children.

Volunteers from 80 countries join the Global March on Gaza

The biggest initiative of civilian-led missions seeking to reach Gaza is the Global March on Gaza, composed of volunteers from over 80 countries banding together to demand an end to Israel's war in the Palestinian enclave.

They wish to spotlight what activists describe as global inaction in the face of immense suffering.

📖 Quran Verse & Hadith of the Day: Gratitude

📖 Quran – Surah Ibrahim, Verse 7

 â€œAnd [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will certainly give you more. But if you are ungrateful, surely My punishment is severe.”

đŸ•Šïž Hadith – Jami’ al-Tirmidhi, Book 37, Hadith 98

Amr bin Shuaib narrated from his grandfather Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said that Allah’s Messenger (ï·ș)  said: “There are two traits, whoever has them in him, Allah writes him down as grateful and patient. And whoever does not have them, Allah does not write him down as grateful nor patient. Whoever looks to one above him for his religion, and follows him in it, and whoever looks to one who is below him in worldly matters, and praises Allah for the blessings He has favored the one who is above him with, then Allah writes him down as grateful and patient. And whoever looks to one who is below him for his religion, and looks to one who is above him in worldly matters, and grieves over what missed him of it, Allah does not write him down as grateful not as patient.”
