Canada's Ceasefire Call for Gaza; Fatima's Legacy and Inheritance - Maulana Syed Muhammad Rizvi

- Canadian government votes for a ceasefire in Gaza Strip at the UN General Assembly, demonstrating the importance of voicing our opinions on global issues to our government.
- Criticism of the government's stance on the Gaza ceasefire, which claims it will lead to more antisemitism. However facts and numbers show that increased Palestinian casualties could actually lead to more antisemitism.
- Encouragement to stay informed about the Gaza situation through organizations like Canadians for Justice & Peace in the Middle East and the National Council of Canadian Muslims.
- Reflection on the significance of the 1st of Jumadi ath-Thāni, recalling Bibi Fāṭimatu ’z-Zahrā’ and her critical speech about the behavior of Muslims after Prophet Muhammad's demise.
- Fāṭima's defense of the Qur’ān's integrity, citing a verse (3:85)
- Fāṭima challenging the denial of her right to inheritance, linking the rejection of the Qur’ān to seeking judgment from sources other than it.
- The reminder of the weekly message in Sūrah al-Jumu‘ah about the consequences of neglecting the teachings of the Qur’ān, drawing parallels with the Israelites' disregard for the Tawrāt.
- A call for reflection on how society treats women, particularly in the context of inheritance issues.
