In this episode of Light Upon Light, we reflect on the tragic attack on a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney’s Bondi Beach. With hearts heavy but spirits seeking guidance, we explore how to navigate grief, fear, and the weight of injustice—while upholding the principles of mercy, compassion, and faith.
Through the courage of heroes like Ahmed al Ahmed and the timeless teachings of the Prophet ﷺ, we discuss practical ways Muslims can respond with empathy, support victims, and cultivate inner peace amidst a world often marked by violence and division.
Join us for a moment of reflection, grounding, and supplication, and discover how to carry light even in the darkest times.
To uphold the justice we spoke of, we must safeguard its evidence. At IslamiCity, we are running a critical archival project to preserve documentation from Gaza—videos, photos, and testimonies that are being systematically removed from social media. We are securing servers and protecting this data so the truth cannot be erased or forgotten. If standing for witness matters to you, please support this effort. Click here to donate and help us preserve these irreplaceable records.
In preserving these truths, we answer a divine calling to bear witness—so that what is hidden today may be revealed tomorrow.
May Allah grant strength to the oppressed, justice to the wronged, and make us people who stand by truth until the end. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
