Most of us celebrated the end of Ramadan and Eid with a heaviness in our hearts due to what happened in Palestine. That heaviness continues till now.

What can we do about it? Make du’a, donate, speak out & share resources and materials. This is a chance for us to learn more, for ourselves, and teach our children about the importance of Al Aqsa. And understand the history of the plight of our Palestinian brothers and sisters.
