Our final blog of this seven part series and we'd like to end it with the most powerful weapon of a believer, Dua along with reflections, and resources to empower individuals to stand in solidarity with Palestine and the Muslim Ummah worldwide. Through our collective supplications and efforts, we aim to spread awareness, advocate for justice, and offer spiritual support to those affected by oppression and hardship.
Duas for Palestine
Reliance on Allah (SWT)
Hasbuna Allah wa ni'm al-wakeel
Allah is sufficient for us and the best of those on whom to depend.
Defeat the oppressors
Allahuma munzil al-kitaab, saree' al-hisab, ihzim al-ahzaa, Allahuma ihzimhum wa zalzilhum
O Allah, Revealer of the Book, Swift to account, defeat the combined forces. O Allah, defeat them and shake them.
Be with the oppressed
Allahumma ya Qawiyy al-akaan, ya' Adheem as-sultan, ya man qulta 'An nafsika kulla yawmin huwa fee sha'n Allahumma kun li'ikhwaninaa al-mustad'afeena fee filasteen wa ghazza wa kulli makaan.
O Allah, the One with mighty Pillars, the One of Great Authority, the One who declares about Himself every day that he is engaged in a matter, O Allah, be with our brethren who are oppressed in Palestine, Gaza, and everywhere else.
Bring relief
Allahumma ij al limaa humfeehi farajan wa makhrajan. Allahumma innahu la hawla lahum wa la quwwata illa bika, anta ni'ma al-mawla wa ni'ma an-naseer.
O Allah! Make an escape and a way out for them
O Allah! There is no control or power except by You
You are an excellent master and an excellent helper.
Healing & mercy
Allahumma dawee jarhahum, washfee mardahum, wa 'aafi mubtalahum, warham mawtahum, wa taqabbal shuhadaa'ahum
O Allah! Cure their injured and heal their sick patients, and forgive their afflicted, and have mercy on their dead, and accept their martyrs.
Rectify their affairs
Allahuma aslih ahwaal al-muslimeen fee filasteena yaa thal jalaali wal-ikram
O Allah! Rectify the affairs of the Muslims in Palestine. O Lord of Majesty and Bounty.
Protect Al-Aqsa
Allahuma a'id al-masjid al-aqsa ilaa rihaab il-muslimeen
Oh Allah! Return Al-Aqsa mosque to the spaciousness of Muslims.
Replace the fear
Allahumma kun li-ahl ghazza 'awnan wa-nasseeran, wa baddil khawfahum aman
O Allah, be a support and helper for the people of Gaza, and replace their fear with security.
For the Ummah
Allahumma aslih Ummat Muhammad,
Allahumma farrij 'an Ummat Muhammad,
Allahumma Irham Ummat Muhammad
O Allah! Improve the state of the Ummah of Muhammad,
O Allah! Grant ease to the Ummah of Muhammad,
O Allah! Have mercy on the Ummah of Muhammad.
Trust in Allah
Ultimately, we need to trust in Allah (SWT). There is always a risk that comes with standing in solidarity with Palestine or any other oppressed group, particularly in the west and within the current climate. The Palestinians, are suffering more than we can possibly imagine, along with our brothers and sisters in Sudan, Congo, Uyghur, Syria, Yemen, Muslims in India and Kashmir.
Our test is how we stand for justice on their behalf during this time, even when our reputation and livelihoods are on the line. Know that Allah is the best of providers, the one with all power and might, and trust that He will protect you.
Act with tact, tie your camel and trust in Allah. One day we will see a free Palestine and free Ummah, InshaAllah, and no matter the outcome we will know that we have stood for justice with Allah on our side.
Our mission with this series has been to cultivate a sense of compassion, understanding, and unity among Muslims and allies worldwide. By amplifying voices, sharing stories, and engaging in meaningful dialogue, we strive to create a supportive community that stands firm in its commitment to justice, peace, and dignity for all.
