The Unjust Killing of George Floyd!
We of the Muslim community in Boston know that it is our obligation to speak out against the brutal killing of our brother George Floyd. Our sympathy and condolences are extended to Mr. Floyd’s family; and we demand that justice be done to [the perpetrators of this crime.
Islam forbids all acts of violence and oppression against individuals and people.
Allah (T) says in the Quran:
Whoever kills someone without just cause, it is as though they had killed all of humanity. Qu'ran 5:32
The killing of George Floyd is another example of the undercurrent of racism that haunts America.
We remind the Muslim community of Boston of our responsibility to uphold all that is right and to forbid what is wrong and to speak out against wrongdoing and uphold Justice, even if it is against ourselves.
Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, said:
Whoever sees a wrong should stop it with his hand, if he unable he should speak out against it, and if he can’t speak out against it he should hate it in his heart, and that's the weakest show of faith.
“Let us raise our voices in Protest”
We also advise any righteous minded people of their responsibility to ensure the well-being and safety of all people in this country.
Any human being unjustly murdered by anyone is unacceptable, however when the perpetrator of such a crime is another law enforcement officer and the victim is yet another black man, this repeated scenario continues the longstanding and painful divide in our country. The underlying allusion of white superiority is continuing proof of our failure to progress as a society and a nation. We as a nation are an absolute embarrassment in the eyes of the people of the world.
The prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said there is no superiority of a white over a black or black over a white except in righteousness.
“ Let us be righteous"
We highly respect our Mayors comments and his effort in speaking out against the cruel killing of George Floyd and his acknowledgement of the injustice that was done to him, and his realization that this is not an isolated case but a continuing undercurrent of evil and racism that plagues this country and must be stopped if we are to survive as a people, as a nation.

Fasting 6 days in Shawwal
One of the great benefits of fasting six days of Shawwal, is that it makes up for any deficiencies in a person's obligatory Ramadan fasts. Because no one is free of shortcomings or sins that have a negative effect on their fasting, let us see what the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), recommended.
Fasting Six more days of Shawwal like fasting a year
Abu Ayyub reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan and then follows it with six days of fasting in the month of Shawwal, it will be as if he fasted for the entire year.”
