While Gaza Starves, We Stay Silent – A Du’a From the Guilty and Powerless 🤲

🤲Ya Allah…

People in Gaza are starving.

They’re eating leaves, drinking dirty water,

children are crying for bread, and there’s nothing left.

But we… we’re sitting in full homes,

scrolling through their pain like it’s a passing story.

🤲Ya Allah…

Leaders from our own lands are shaking hands with the same people

who are helping to kill our brothers and sisters.

Where is our shame? Where is our heart?

🤲Ya Allah, forgive us.

We feel helpless. We feel useless.

We make du’a but deep down, we know we could be doing more.

Forgive us for choosing comfort.

Forgive us for moving on too quickly.

🤲Ya Rabb, ease their hunger.

Give them food, water, safety—at least a night without bombs.

Let the babies sleep. Let the mothers breathe.

Let someone reach them. Let aid not be blocked.

🤲Ya Allah, don’t let us be among those who watched genocide and stayed quiet.

Don’t let our silence make us part of the crime.

If we can’t fight for them,

then at least accept our pain, our prayers,

and use it to protect them somehow.

🤲Give strength to the people of Gaza,

and break those who cause their suffering.

Don’t let injustice go on forever.

🤲Ya Allah, wake us up.

Don’t let us get used to seeing dead children.

Don’t let us scroll past their bodies like it’s nothing.

Make us feel it. Make us act.

Make us worthy of being part of this Ummah🤲

Ameen Ya Rabbul Aalameen 🤲
