Jumma Mubaraka!

O Allah, You are the One who removes difficulties and grants relief to those in distress. We implore You to alleviate the suffering of the people of Palestine and to protect them from harm. Grant them strength, patience, and resilience in the face of adversity. Oh Allah, do not abandon us and do not leave us to our affairs even for the blink of an eye. In Your infinite mercy, grant us the ability to contribute positively to the well-being of our fellow human beings. Guide us in promoting justice, peace, and understanding in the world. Ameen.

Please note that this is the last 3:30 Jumma for the remainder of the year.
