Faith isn't just built in the masjid. It is tested in the real world. Real believers show up in the hard spaces: in boardrooms, on the streets, in messy situations where faith isn't always easy or obvious. For more great khutbahs like this one be sure to attend our Friday Prayer at 12:30pm (MakeSpace) or at 1:30pm (Franconia Fire Station). Or subscribe to our YouTube channel TeamMakeSpace to listen to previously recorded khutbahs. #makefaith #DMVmuslims #islamicreminders  #fridaysermon #khutbah #jummah #jummahmubarak

🛑 *URGENT CALL TO ADD YOUR NAME & SHARE*

✍️ Open Letter to Senator Andy Kim and Congressman Ro Khanna On India’s Escalation, U.S. Silence, and the Devaluation of Pakistani Lives

https://forms.gle/FF2wTYWdKNZtKMfQ7

‼️ We are calling on individuals and organizations to sign an utmost urgent open letter demanding accountability and moral clarity from Senator Andy Kim and Congressman Ro Khanna. In the wake of India’s unprovoked military strikes on Pakistani territory, which killed at least 31 civilians, injured dozens, and targeted a mosque, both lawmakers failed to condemn the aggression—while Rep. Khanna went so far as to validate India’s actions without evidence.

This moment demands courage, not complicity. We cannot allow selective grief or geopolitical bias to justify the loss of innocent lives.

✅ Add your name to this critical call for truth, justice, and peace before it’s too late.

✅ Please share in your circles.

Tell Your Virginia State Reps: Disband the Virginia Israel Advisory Board!

VIAB is an organization operating within the Commonwealth of Virginia, paid for by our tax dollars. These links to Israel and Israeli businesses make our state directly complicit in the genocide in Gaza. Tell your representatives that we want an end to this genocide, an end to Virginia's complicity in war crimes, and VIAB out of our state!
