Today marks one week since the tragic events in New Zealand claimed the lives of 50 innocent people at the Al-Noor Mosque. With this post we conclude our tribute to the #50lives of the #christchurch massacre. We'd like to thank you all for reading and sharing their stories. We hope that in some ways it has helped you like it has helped us.
We were inspired to create these tributes by @KhaledBeydoun’s valiant efforts to humanize the victims. His work in highlighting their stories and giving their families a platform was no easy feat, but the impact of his work was critical. He helped change the media discourse to drive greater attention to the victims, and not the terrorist.
By sharing the names and faces of the souls we've lost, we hope to keep their memory alive through remembrance and duaa (prayer). As we head to Friday prayers, we ask that Allah give their families and loved ones the sabr (patience) and iman (faith) to persevere. As an Ummah, let their loss be a reminder of the fleetingness of life, and our responsibility to spread the message of peace, love, and unity
Inna Lilah wa Innah Ilayhi Rajioun. To God we belong, and to Him we shall return. #Ameen.
