So we're usually dealing with, you know, last 10 nights of Ramadan and then the incursions on Mezr al-Aqsa really sour it for the entire Muslim world, right? Because you're watching worshippers being assaulted in one of the holiest places in the world. And at the same time, you're trying to find your deep connection, your own deep holy connection, right?

This time we're going in, and if this is still ongoing, we're dealing with a continued genocide. So I think that the mood has been somber in the community. The mood has been different from anything I've ever seen before. So I anticipate this Ramadan would be different from anything we've ever seen before. I think the focus will continue to be on Gaza.

Yeah, I mean, look, every sermon I've given since October 7th has had to have some inclusion of this because it's what's on everyone's hearts and minds. We also have people in our communities that have lost 20, 30, 40 people, right, in our midst. it's not the same.

You know, if we start to have refugees or people that escape for medical treatment or that are able to get out through Egypt and join their families, you know, It's becoming more real, right? It's becoming more personal for people. So I think that Ramadan will surround both in terms of messaging as well as community the pain of the moment with a prayer for hope and healing.

Hmm. You know, the part of the Quran, I get asked this question that resonates with me most, usually has to do with what is heaviest for me at the moment. There's a verse in the chapter of Mary, a part of the verse, وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيَّةً Your Lord does not forget. Your Lord does not forget. And so, As you see what's transpiring right now, our hope is not in creation.

Our hope is in our Creator, and our hope is not in this life. Our hope is in the afterlife. And so that verse deeply resonates, because I think that many of us often wonder, how are they going to rebuild? How are they going to get past this? And we know that God has a way of restoring everything. God will restore everything. If not in this life, then in the next.
