#FATEE MOHAMMED

[fyeahdoctorfate]

Khalid’s origin story does showcase how Anubis’s problem with him extends to the whole bloodline as he has previously targeted Mohammed but was stop by his father (Khalid’s grandfather) at the cost of his life.

[hadeth]

This Hadīth belongs to the category of "jawāmi‘ al-kalim": the most succinct statements of a few words that imply extensive and comprehensive meanings with great significance in implementation. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sought refuge with Allah from four things. If a person is safe from these four, then he will be safe in this world and the next, and this, indeed, is the ultimate and obvious success. The four things he sought refuge from are: "Jahd al-balā’": intense afflictions and the hardships that accompany them. If trials become severe a person may not be safe from getting angry, annoyed and irritated with what Allah decreed upon him, thus he may lose the reward of the life of this world as well as in the Hereafter. "Dark ash-shaqā’": falling into utter misery. This is general, including primarily misery in the Hereafter since it is ultimate and eternal misery that will never be followed by happiness, or misery the life of this world wherein a person's state changes for the worse with time. One day may make him happy and another may make him miserable. "Sou’ al-qadā’": the preordained evils; i.e. what Allah has decreed upon the servant that the servant perceives to be bad for him. It is general regarding all the affairs in the life of this world such as wealth, children, health, wife, etc., as well as the affairs of the Hereafter. It is important to note here that the preordained evil is considered to be evil from the person's viewpoint. In reality everything that Allah preordains and decrees is good and devoid of any evil whatsoever, as in the statement of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) addressing Allah, the Almighty: "Evil cannot be ascribed to you." Another interpretation suggests that "sou’ al-qadā’" can mean bad judgment, i.e. that the person seeks refuge with Allah from making a bad harmful judgment and ruling. "Shamātat al-a‘dā’": rejoicing and gloating of a person's enemies at his misfortune, a cause of immense grief. The enemies of the Muslim are, in fact, the non-believers who rejoice and celebrate when Muslims dispute with each other, fight each other and humiliate themselves in whatever manner. The inclusion of the enemies of Islam as the interpretation of this Hadīth is a takes precedence over a Muslim's personal enemies (over some worldly affairs), nevertheless this meaning can be included in a secondary way. It is necessary that the Muslim who makes this supplication intends the enemies of Islam primarily then his enemies from among the Muslims secondarily (and only in a just and rightful manner). We ask Allah to make peace among the Muslims.

/عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلاَءِ، وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ، وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَشَمَاتَةِ الأَعْدَاءِ ‏"‏‏.‏ صحيح البخاري ومسلم حديث ٦٦١٦ - ٢٧٠٧

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Take refuge with Allah from the difficulties of severe calamities, from having an evil end and a bad fate and from the malicious joy of your enemies." Sahih al-Bukhari 6616 In-book reference : Book 82, Hadith 22 // Sahih Muslim 2707 In-book reference : Book 48, Hadith 71

هذا تعوذ من التعوذات المباركة العظيمة المأثورة عن رسولنا صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ وَسَلَامُهُ عَلَيْهِ، وفيه التعوذ بالله من أمور أربعة:

الأول: «جهد البلاء»؛ وهو كل ما يصيب المرء من شدّة ومشقّة وما لا طاقة له بحمله ولا يقدر على دفعه.

روى ابن أبي الدنيا عن ابن عباس قال: « (جهد البلاء) أن تحتاجوا إلى ما في أيدي الناس». وعن ابن عمر قال : « (جهد البلاء) : كثرة العيال وقلة الشيء». وهذا فرد من أفراد جهد البلاء ولا سيما إذا كان ذلك مع عدم الصبر ووجود الجزع .

الثاني: «دَرَك الشقاء»؛ الدرك هو اللحوق والوصول إلى الشيء، والشقاء نقيض السعادة، وهو الهلاك أو ما يؤدي إلى الهلاك، ويكون ذلك في أمور الدنيا وفي أمور الآخرة.

الثالث: «سوء القضاء»؛ أي: سوء المقضي، وهو ما يسوء الإنسان أو يوقعه في المكروه، وهو عام في النفس والمال والأهل والولد والخاتمة.

الرابع: «شماتة الأعداء»؛ وهو ما ينكأ القلب ويبلغ من النفس أشدّ مبلغ، بفرح العدو ببليّة تنزل بمن يعاديه.

قال ابن حجر رحمه الله: «كل واحدة من الثلاثة مستقلة؛ فان كل أمر يُكْره يلاحظ فيه جهةُ المبدأ وهو سوء القضاء، وجهة المعاد وهو درك الشقاء، لأن شقاء الآخرة هو الشقاء الحقيقي، وجهة المعاش وهو جهد البلاء. وأما شماتة الأعداء فتقع لكل من وقع له كلٌ من الخصال الثلاثة. كامل الشرح في موقع الشيخ البدر : http://al-badr.net/detail/4KnrdaAPLz21

Liverpool dodged a bullet! Antony's agent confirms transfer talks with Reds - but Mohamed Salah scuppered deal before ill-fated £86m Man Utd switch

Getty Images Sport WHAT HAPPENED? Antony was a major up-and-coming star at Ajax under Erik ten Hag and had several clubs keeping tabs on his situation. The Dutch coach then moved to Manchester United in the summer of 2022 and made signing the Brazilian his number-one priority as the Red Devils then snapped the winger up for a fee of £85m ($110m) a few months later.

Save My Family from Death and Destruction in Gaza

My name is Rami Walid, I am 38 years old, and I am married to Amani Ahmed. We have six children: Maha, Hiba, Walid, Mohamed, Ahmed, and Ibrahim 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. I also take care of my disabled father, Walid Mohamed, and my elderly mother, Maha Asaad 👵👴.

When the war in Gaza started, we began moving from one place to another in the north, fleeing the destruction and death 💔💥. One day, in a heart-wrenching moment 💔, I was arrested in front of my children, who watched me being taken away without knowing my fate. I was sent to Sde prison, where I was detained for 45 days. During this difficult time, my family didn’t know if I was alive or if I had been killed 🕊️.

After those agonizing days, I was released with a group of other prisoners through the Kerem Shalom crossing and taken to Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital in southern Gaza for treatment after the torture we endured 🏥. I spent five days in the hospital, suffering physically and emotionally 😔.

When I regained consciousness and strength, I found myself in southern Gaza, while my family was still trapped in the north 🛑. I couldn’t reach them or help them as they suffered from extreme poverty, lack of food, and insecurity 🥺🍞. My disabled father and young children were unable to move or escape the continuous bombing 🔥. Meanwhile, I was stuck in the south, completely powerless to help them.

Our home was completely destroyed 🏚️, and we were left homeless. My family is living under unbearable conditions, constantly fleeing from one area to another in northern Gaza to escape the bombings. There is no medicine, no food, and no safe shelter 😢🌍. As for me, I lost my source of income and can no longer provide any financial support for them. As a father, I feel utterly helpless 😞.

My only hope now is to bring my family from the north to the south so we can reunite 💔🙏. However, this is incredibly difficult. My disabled father requires special care and transport, which costs a lot of money 💸. I have tried reaching out to international and humanitarian organizations, but the cost of moving them, especially considering my father’s condition, is extremely high.

After reuniting with my family, my next goal is to register them for travel to a safe place outside Gaza through the Rafah crossing. But the high coordination fees, which range between €5000-€7000 per person, make this nearly impossible for me 🛫. I need your support to help save my family from this nightmare.

All I ask for is a chance to save their lives, to bring them to safety far from this daily nightmare we are living. We are losing hope 😔, but I still believe there are people out there who can help us 🤲.

Please, help us restore our hope, so I can save my family from death and destruction 💔🙏.

Hello

My name is Mohammed Saqallah, I am 23 years old. I used to work in a smartphone store in the customer service department 📱.

My brother Mahmoud (20 years old) and I dreamed of establishing a mobile repair shop together 🛠️💡. But the war stole our dreams and destroyed our home over our heads 🏚️💥.

One fateful night during the harsh war 🌌⚠️, our home turned to rubble after being bombed by the Israeli occupation 💣. We miraculously survived 🙏✨ after the civil defense 🚑 managed to rescue us from under the ruins. However, the devastation left behind is beyond description. Now, we are homeless 🏴‍☠️ with no source of income 💼, and the dreams we spent years building have turned into painful memories 💔.

My younger sisters now live in a constant state of fear 😢:

Hala (14 years old): Trembles at the sound of explosions 😨💥.

Lama (15 years old): Has lost the ability to sleep due to nightmares 🌙😔.

Haya (16 years old): Experiences panic attacks whenever she hears gunfire 🔊😣.

Hifa (17 years old): Lives in shock 😞, even though she was always my source of support and encouragement to pursue my dreams ❤️✨.

As for me, I lost my job and my source of income 💔💼. My brother Mahmoud, who dreamed of studying smartphone engineering 📚💡, could not enroll in university as he hoped 🎓. Even my parents 👩‍👦‍👦, who were our pillar of strength 🤲, are now struggling with the psychological and financial toll of this war 🥺💔.

Why Are We Asking for Help? 🤝💭

We are now seeking to leave Gaza in search of safety and a better future 🌍🕊️. The cost of coordination and leaving Gaza is enormous, as we need $5,000 for each family member, which includes me, Mahmoud, my parents, and my four sisters 💸👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, totaling $40,000 💵.

Additionally, my brother Mahmoud needs $5,000 for his university education once we leave 📚🎓.

Total Needed: $45,000 💰💵

This amount would be a lifeline for us 🛟:

Safety: To leave Gaza and escape the daily fear that surrounds us 🕊️🌈.

Education: To help Mahmoud achieve his dream of studying smartphone engineering 📱📚✨.

Hope: To give us all a fresh start after losing everything 🌟🏠.

Any donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in our lives 🙏💖. You are the hope that can bring us back to life 🌟❤️. Thank you to everyone who extends a helping hand 🤝✨.

no matter what the results of the negotiations we can all agree that it's over a year too late. how many lived could've been saved had egypt not upholded the blockade? had they let people through without extorting them for every penny they have? if the border opens, how many families will flee it fractured because they lost someone while the border was cruelly shut on them?

@eyadgaza46 is 20. he should've started university. he has developed a respiratory condition. his family contains three young children: nasir, mohammed, and hind. they are in poor condition.

i have no faith in leaving their fates to the whims of a state that has demonstrated nothing but the utmost cowardice and apathy. until they pull their weight and do something i am asking you to keep iyad's family fed and warm in the meanwhile.

please, if you can spare anything, donate here.

To whom it may concern🆘🚨🚨

I was displaced from Rafah after we were besieged by the occupation under bombardment and gunfire. We survived by a miracle, but we entered an unknown life, with harsh conditions and an uncertain fate. We left without taking anything from our belongings, and all we want now is to start a new life, one that provides us with the most basic necessities-shelter, food, and water.

@shorooq-post @shorooq-mahmoud

Please, help me rebuild my life. Your assistance will be abeacon of hope for me. We are in urgent need of support so that we can live with dignity and escape these difficult circumstances.

With all due respect and sincerity, I ask for your help in providing shelter, food, and water. Let us live in peace, and any help you can offer will be a merciful hand that saves us from this dire situation.

In Gaza ...

In Gaza, hunger has become one of the faces of the siege. Bread is missing, food is scarce, and pain is merciless, young or old. Bodies are exhausted from weakness, eyes overflow with helplessness, and signs of malnutrition have become part of the daily scene.

This is not a war fought with weapons alone, but a hidden battle that is slowly suffocating people.

The silence of the bombing is deceptive, for death here needs no sound; hunger is enough to infiltrate the soul. Unless the world acts, slow death will become the fate of thousands of families who have nothing left but hope.

Forms of death in Gaza

Brothers, we don't want anything big, but for us it is big and immense. My family needs you, needs your support, we are from you and you are from us

$5 may seem small, but for us, it's a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists.

The army asks the residents of Rafah to evacuate and move. Oh God, where are the people going? We are tired. Oh God, protect my family.

I hope my sisters will donate to my campaign at the link . I need to provide a new tent and a car to transport the belongings for displacement. I am now living in frustration as if it is a slow death. I am helpless. What should I do? Please help me. I do not want to lose my family. 😭💔💔🙏🙏

They have drained all our energy, O Allah. Grant us patience, 0 Lord, grant us patience-we can't take it anymore.

O Allah, establish the Hour, for we no longer have the strength or breath to continue our lives.Just as we began to heal, they pushed us back to square one

Just as we started adapting to life in Rafah, they ordered us to leave, scattering us. Now, we can't get out, we don't know where to go, and we have no idea what our fate will be tonight.

Will we survive and see a new day, or what will happen?!😭💔

Help Mohammed Access Life Saving Care

$3,436/$15,000

Quoted from an update sent about Mohammed:

Mohammed is not going to survive this hepatitis C without this community coming together to support him. This is not hyperbole. This is not exaggeration.

His antiviral treatment, food, and water are the only things keeping him alive. The costs are high. He is frail and weak. The virus continues to ravage his body, and his liver is enlarged, according to the doctors.

So many Gazans are quietly slipping away, their tragic deaths not captured in social media posts. Please, PLEASE don't let Mohammed meet this fate. Please understand that this goal could be easily accomplished - it just takes a village. Please help us expand that village. In addition to your recurring donation, Mohammed needs us to reach out to family, friends, and connections to share his story. We KNOW there are many compassionate people out there with kind hearts who just don't know where to direct their resources and energy."

Screen shots of the update are provided below the cut

Mohammed needs at least $150 a week to afford weekly treatment. Only $17 has been raised in the past 5 days. Please donate if you can and share. He urgently needs to access care, but he can't do it without the proper funds. Anything at all helps, and if you cannot donate, please share.

There's no official organization or vetter who has verified Mohammed's campaign, but pal_solidarity48 (one of the people who has been working to share Mohammed's campaign) has seen his ID, medical records, and has been in touch with his relatives.

A letter to my friend in gaza

little red hearts

we met because i admired you still do you’ve offered a lifeline to so many families in gaza while keeping your own safe from weather and hunger and bombs

we found we had things in common a love for cats neurodivergence principles a sense of justice we’re both worriers and thinkers

we talk on and off, but most days, just a little i ask how you are and you say you are ok and we both know that is nothing but a beautiful lie that ok just means you are alive that maybe you ate have access to water

sometimes all you have time for is leaving a little red heart and i know you’re still there or i see you’re online and i know you’re still there or you’ve made a post and i know you’re still there

one day you told me that if something good came out of all this it was the friends you’ve made all over the world all the people who care and i said yes yes but the truth is if it meant you were safe i would have happily never met you at all

when we say goodbye i say stay safe as if there is meaning in those words as if you have agency in the matter

and i find myself praying to all the gods i don’t believe in i send whispers to the universe i plead with the fates

and when i don’t hear from you for a few days i worry i try not to i really do but it’s hard because

i worry that one day something will happen and i won’t know

i worry that one day there will no longer be any little red hearts

My friend @dawoudi is the founder of @gazavetters. Two other people, Mohammed Alanqar (@nourasbasha ) and Samer Aburass (@samerpal), who were already verified by @gaza-evacuation-funds at the time, attached their name to it to make it clear that the list was legitimate, but he ran it on his own for a very long time. For so long he worked diligently, silently and anonymously, without calling attention to his own family's campaign over any of the others. He helped hundreds of families gain recognition and a chance to fundraise, all while he was himself trying to survive with his family in Gaza. Today he is no longer the only one with access to the list and the gazavetters Tumblr account, but I know he is still working very hard, as principled as always, as concerned with fairness, integrity, and dignity as always, and the list keeps growing day after day.

When it became public knowledge who was behind the list, I reached out to him to let him know how impressed I was with his dedication and commitment to fairness and dignity, and that I shared his concern about campaigns barely getting any donations while others soared ahead. We started talking and we never stopped. That was over six months ago. We share our joys and our worries. We celebrate and mourn together. I am so very blessed to be able to call him my friend.

Stay safe, my friend. ❤️

Please donate to his family's campaign if you can, and share it. It is #15 on the gazavetters list, and was also shared by @nabulsi here and here.

They have been fundraising for over a year and are almost halfway. Please help!

[doaafamily]

My name is Doaa, and I'm a mother who has recently been faced with the unimaginable challenge of rebuilding my family's life from the ground up.

One fateful evening, our beloved home was damaged by a devastating war , leaving it damaged beyond recognition.

the weight of uncertainty descended upon our shoulders as we grappled with the reality of losing everything we held dear. As I looked into the innocent eyes of my children, especially little Dana, who questioned about her home, her bed, and her cherished toys, my heart shattered into a million pieces.

With each passing day, the enormity of the task ahead becomes clearer. Rebuilding our lives from scratch feels like an insurmountable mountain to climb. The financial burden is staggering, and I find myself counting the zeros in our lives, overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the challenge.

Our family is scattered, My mother accompanies her injured nephew, offering solace and support in his time of need. Meanwhile, my brother undergoes treatment for his war injury, grappling with the physical and emotional toll of battle. In the cruelest twist of fate, he has lost his precious daughter

That's why I'm reaching out to you today, humbly asking for your support. We have launched this GoFundMe campaign with the hope that, together, we can rebuild not just a house, but a home filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a world of difference to us. It will help us secure a roof over our heads, provide essentials like clothing and food, and perhaps most importantly, restore a sense of stability and security for my children.

Please help us evacuate from Gaza so we can rebuild our lives, our home, and provide a safe future for our children away from the horrors of war.

[save-mohamed-family]

As the Palestinian people, we live in a reality filled with injustice and oppression. Every form of support that reaches us, in all its kinds, means so much to us. We carry deep gratitude in our hearts for everyone who stands with us in these harsh conditions. These acts of solidarity are a glimmer of hope in a world that shuts its doors to our suffering, and we thank everyone who extends a helping hand during these painful moments, where our sorrows and wounds continue to accumulate.

The greatest gift you can offer my children and my family is your donation, even if it’s just five dollars. Winter is fast approaching, and I live with my children in a tent that doesn't protect us from the harsh cold. We fear the coming storms and the unforgiving chill. All I wish for is to be able to buy a new, sturdy tent to shield my children from the cold. Please, help me protect my family from this cruel fate.

[eyadkhalil]

My name is Iyad Khalil, a 24-year-old Palestinian from Gaza. My life has been a constant struggle, marked by harsh conditions beyond imagination. Born into a poor family, I was the eldest of my siblings, which forced me to leave school at an early age to help my father provide for our family.

Our family consisted of eight members: my father, my mother, my brothers—Mohammed (22 years old), who suffers from paralysis, Ahmed (20 years old), and Mahmoud (15 years old)—and my sisters, Hiba (18 years old), who is deaf but excels academically at a national level, Batool (12 years old), and Farah (7 years old). We lived in a small house with my grandparents. We barely managed to survive, but being together was all that mattered.

In October 2023, our lives changed forever. During that dark month, Israel launched an unprecedented campaign of genocide against Gaza. It was not a war—it was a massacre targeting children, women, and the elderly without mercy. On October 7, an airstrike hit our home, taking the lives of my father and my brother Ahmed. Our house was reduced to rubble, and my family was torn apart.

The only ones left were my mother and my remaining siblings, who were forced to flee northern Gaza under a hail of bullets and relentless bombing. They carried their grief and fear while walking through roads littered with the bodies of martyrs. I stayed in contact with them over the phone, hearing their trembling voices as they told me, “We are running from death only to face death again.” I felt utterly powerless, far away from them in a foreign land, unable to protect them. My mother walked through this hell with my sick siblings, trying to mask her fear to reassure them, but the pain in her voice shattered me.

They moved from one place to another, only to end up in makeshift tents in southern Gaza, in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis. They now sleep on the ground and use the sky as their only shelter, on the shores of Gaza’s sea. But even the tents were not spared from the bombardment. Last night, airstrikes targeted and burned the tents. My mother and siblings were injured in the attack. My sister Hiba, who is deaf, and my brother Mohammed, who is paralyzed, are now in critical condition. Heavy rain pours down relentlessly, flooding the torn tents, as my mother sits under the rain, desperately trying to shield her children from the cold. Meanwhile, I am here, far away, helpless to do anything.

My mother tells me that my younger siblings shiver from the cold and hunger, with nothing to sustain them or warm their fragile bodies. My 12-year-old sister Batool sits beside my brother Mohammed, trying to comfort him, while seven-year-old Farah cries in fear and hunger. This scene plays vividly in my mind, breaking my heart as I imagine their suffering and my inability to help them.

October 2023 was not just a month; it was a testament to the genocide against my people. Thousands of families were bombed, thousands of lives lost, and thousands more are now enduring hell—under rubble or in burned-out tents. My family is one of those families, and my innocent siblings are victims of this unimaginable nightmare.

Mohammed’s and Hiba’s conditions are deteriorating rapidly. Urgent action must be taken immediately to save their lives. They need urgent medical care, and delaying it will only cost us their lives.

I appeal to your kind hearts: please, help me save my family. My sister Hiba requires immediate medical attention, and my brother Mohammed needs continuous care. My mother and siblings desperately need a safe place, far from this inferno.

Do not leave us to face this fate alone. Every donation can provide us with a chance to live, a chance to save lives that dream only of living with dignity.

Please, be the hope we no longer have.

Attached are medical reports documenting their critical health conditions. Kindly take the time to review them.

Iyad Khalil,
