The holy month of Ramadan, with its practices of fasting and worship, cultivates a profound sense of unity among Muslims worldwide.

From London to New Delhi, long spreads of food await those observing the holy month, bringing together thousands of worshippers everyday to break their fast at sunset in mass iftars. Whether individually or alongside their families, everyone is welcomed.

Activists and various organisations worldwide have called for a global strike on December 11 to demand an immediate ceasefire in Palestine’s Gaza, where some 2.2 million people are suffering under Israel’s relentless bombardment and blockade.

The #ShutItDown4Palestine strike — which has been shared widely on social media — will cover “all aspects of public life” in an effort to stop the “unjust” war on Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, according to a statement by the International Union of Muslim Scholars, which is among the many groups participating in the global protest calling for a #CeasefireNow.

The coalition noted the success of boycotts and global humanitarian actions in the past, but highlighted the UN Security Council's failure to stop Israel's onslaught. It suggested a review of the Security Council's veto system, proposing that decisions be approved via a simple majority vote rather than a unanimous one.

Those participating in the strike hope their united stance and collective action will send a message of solidarity to Palestinians and apply pressure on governments around the world to take action towards ending Israel’s ongoing aggression.

In response to the global call, Lebanon announced the closure of all government offices and institutions on Monday in solidarity with Gaza and the southern Lebanese villages that have also been victims of Israeli attacks.

Israel’s onslaught on besieged Gaza — now in its 66th day — has killed at least 17,997 Palestinians and wounded more than 49,200, with thousands feared dead under the debris of bombed buildings.

On this World Children's Day, Israel’s relentless attacks on Palestine’s Gaza continue to kill five children per hour, while an average of seven babies are born each day amidst Israel’s daily bombings.

Since October 7, at least 4,710 children have been killed by Israeli air strikes on Gaza, which has come to be described as “a graveyard for children” by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

Countless others are in life-threatening situations due to a scarcity of resources caused by Israel’s blockade and grave injuries sustained in Israel’s ongoing bombardments.

The number of children killed in Gaza in just six weeks since October 7 has surpassed the combined annual death toll of children killed worldwide in conflicts between the years 2020 and 2022, according to UK-based NGO Save the Children.

World Children's Day, initially celebrated in 1954 as Universal Children's Day, is now observed annually on November 20 and aims “to promote international togetherness and awareness among children worldwide” and to improve children's welfare.

This date marks the anniversary of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child by the UN General Assembly in 1959 and the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child 30 years later.

The Muslim world is hypocritical!

I have observed instances of apparent hypocrisy within the #Muslim world regarding the #Uyghurs. Some individuals say, ‘Oh, really, we don’t know about it. Is #China really that bad? May Allah help you,’ etc. However, when something occurs in #Palestine or any Arab states, they express solidarity through actions such as boycotts, worldwide demonstrations, and pressuring their own governments.
