“What is the point? What can we do?”

At times like these, imagine the plight of a doctor in Gaza. Deprived of electricity and gas, he operates on his patients using the faint light from his cell phone while bombs continue to fall.

That doctor could easily question "what's the point?" of struggling in such dire conditions. But the doctor continues because he knows every patient saved is a victory.

Despair may overwhelm us as we consider our own capability to help. However, the essence of faith is to continue doing good, remain patient, and trust in Allah’s wisdom.

The reward for those who persevere under such brutality is great.

It is hard to see the immediate impact of our collective efforts. We want to see changes that are immediate and tangible. However, Allah has promised us that even an atom's weight of good will be seen and rewarded.

Every good deed, however small in this world, carries significance.

Every prayer, every protest, every attempt to change the narrative matters.

Every individual effort to ease the suffering of others has its worth.

It is a time when we might be overwhelmed by despair, but instead, it should be a time to hold onto our faith stronger than before. The enemy may try to extinguish the light of Allah, but He promises that His light will not be extinguished. Every act of kindness, every prayer, every good deed has its place, whether it be feeding a captive or advocating for the release of a person in debt.

As believers, we should not belittle the power of our efforts, for whatever little we can offer can be of great value. The enemy may be relentless, but the spirit of the Ummah is unbreakable. Our hearts and prayers remain in solidarity with those suffering, for we believe the unjust will not prevail. Every act of cruelty will be accounted for on the Day of Judgment.

This is the promise of Allah.

Remember, Allah does not let the reward of the good-doers go to waste, and though the enemies may appear powerful, they are losing the battle. The narrative is changing, and the Ummah rises stronger from this struggle. Amidst the violence and the despair, our persistence holds the spark for the fire of change.

Let us ignite this spark together.
