KEEPING UP 

Aftermath of the Al-Shifa Hospital Attack 🇵🇸🚨

Following nearly 2 weeks of relentless Israeli raids, Israeli forces withdrew from Al-Shifa Hospital, leaving behind a haunting scene that many news outlets have overlooked.

📈 The Statistics 

While the full extent of the damage remains unclear due to limited coverage, some revelations have emerged:

• 300+ Palestinian civilians scattered across the hospital grounds and streets.

• Over 900 Palestinians were arrested.

• All medical facilities, including the ER, morgue, outpatient clinics, and specialized wards, including those for kidney, cancer, burns, and maternity are ruined, leaving no medical care.

• Death toll in Gaza surpassed 32,900, including over 13,000 children. 

💔 Suffering and Injustice 

Here's what survivors have shared: 

• The overpowering odor of decay hangs over the area as corpses, unable to be buried, lie rotting, infested with worms.

• 2 boxes of food was provided for 164 people.

• IDF soldiers detained and assaulted journalists, and legislative measures are now aiming to restrict press freedom and ban Al Jazeera.

ACT NOW

Understanding Zakat and Gold ☪️ 🌟

Zakat, the third pillar of Islam, is a duty for every adult Muslim. It's an annual obligation imposed on wealth surpassing the Nisab threshold.

💰 What's the Connection Between Zakat and Gold? 

Now, you may wonder: How does gold intertwine with Zakat?

The Nisab, a minimum wealth threshold, serves as the determining marker. As stated by Prophet Muhammad (SAW), this threshold stands at:

• 87.48 grams of gold

• 612.36 grams of silver

📈 Calculating Zakat on Gold

If your gold surpasses the Nisab threshold, Zakat becomes obligatory. The prescribed rate stands at 2.5% of the total value of the gold.

📜 The Quran on Zakat and Gold

The severity of not paying Zakat is mentioned many times in the Quran. For example: 

SNIPPETS

In Yemen, Freedom Bakery is on a mission to fight hunger by distributing bread, clean water, and monthly food packages. You can provide enough bread to feed a family of five for an entire month with $25. 

Israeli airstrikes attacked workers delivering food in Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least seven international aid workers, among them a dual citizen of the United States and Canada, as well as citizens of Australia, Poland, and the United Kingdom.

The United States has approved the transfer of billions of dollars' worth of weapons to Israel, authorizing the shipment of additional bombs and warplanes. According to sources, the new arms packages consist of over 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK 82 500-pound bombs.
