I have heard people ask, where is Allah? Where is God when children
are being murdered? Right now, in Raza, there are over 700 children
who have been killed. And it's understandable that when we feel
so powerless, we look to whom we know is full of power, the all
powerful, Allah. But I want to show you something
I know that might seem completely unrelated, but would you ever say
that God is the one who didn't stop me from dropping that stuffed
animal? I know it's a benign example, but where are we placing
responsibility and accountability? God created us with free will
given very clear guidelines on how to use that free will for justice
and the protection of innocent lives. When we put the onus of
responsibility on God, on Allah, we then also absolve full
responsibility from the murderers, the perpetrators. There is a
reason why we have a day of judgment. A function of the Day of
Judgment is to give full justice to those who never receive justice
that no matter how many courts try someone who is responsible for
genocide and war crimes and apartheid and occupation and
everything else, it will never be. There's no punishment that could
ever suffice the amount of people, of innocent civilians that have
been harmed and killed and murdered and murdered and
massacred and displaced. In the Quran, there's a verse that says,
Do not think that God is unaware of what the oppressors or the
wrongdoers do, that he is just giving them biding their time
until a day when there will be horrors. I know it's hard to hold
on to faith when there's so much pain, but listen to a woman from
Russia speaking about herself and her child, Allah Abu Asmaa,

It's not the people there who are suffering, who are asking, Where
is God? It's all of us who are watching from the comfort of our
homes. So remember to put the blame of accountability on the
oppressor. Know that there's a day of judgment for a reason, and ask
ourselves, what are we doing when we have the power and the
privilege to make a difference? You
