Alhamdulillah - Upscrolled Reaches Top of US App Store
As-salamu alaykum. A social app called Upscrolled, made by a Palestinian Muslim who tragically lost 60 family members in the recent violence, has now reached the top of the US app store - Alhamdulillah. If you look up places like Tel Aviv there, the app shows what they really are called: the occupied territories of Palestine. Please consider downloading Upscrolled. Take this as your reminder to be patient and to work even harder to achieve what you want in this worldly life. Never lose hope, and be ready to sacrifice for the greater good - that is a sign of true greatness. Allah created Muslims as a mercy (rahma) to the world. We are meant to benefit and lead humanity out of darkness, not only for the sake of the Hereafter but in this life as well. It’s our responsibility - not optional - to take the lead in spreading good when many in power have spread corruption. They set up so-called peace structures while the world needed justice, and in the name of freedom of speech they often allowed abuse, racism, and vulgarity that only deepened divisions. Our deen does not hold us back from progress; rather it encourages us to prosper and do good, to maintain our identity and thrive from it. Be a beacon of hope, following the example of our leader, the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad ﷺ.
