Remember Your Brothers and Sisters in Sudan, Please

Assalamu alaikum - “But Hamzah has no mourners.” Every time I hear news about Sudan, that hadith of the Prophet ﷺ about his uncle Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) comes to mind, and I remember how the Prophet ﷺ wept for him. Nowadays it seems tragedy only counts if it’s on camera. If people are harmed quietly, if their blood is spilled where there’s no light or lenses, it’s like they never existed, like their pain didn’t matter. That has been the reality for Sudan for many months-suffering out of sight, cries with no microphones to carry them, lives taken away in silence while the world moves on. Part of caring for your brothers and sisters is simply not forgetting them-feeling, even from afar, the burden of what they’re going through. At least that is something we can do; it may feel small, but it matters. Think about this: the Prophet ﷺ could not accept that Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) would die with no one to mourn him. It’s as if grieving for a believer is their right, and forgetting them only adds to the injustice they suffered. A Muslim’s right is to be helped, honoured, comforted, remembered with goodness, defended, and prayed for. And sufficient for us is that Allah sees when eyes turn away, and hears when ears grow deaf. May Allah have mercy on the people of Sudan, Gaza, and Turkestan. Heal their wounds, be their Protector and Helper. Please keep them in your duas and don’t let them be forgotten.
