Blessed Friday everyone.

اللهم صلي وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى اله وصحبه اجمعين 🤲🏼

This Friday, let’s help fund Kayra’s treatment. Kayra’s world was turned upside down when, at just one year old, she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), an aggressive form of blood cancer.

The emotional and financial impact on her family has been overwhelming. Kayra’s father works as a waiter, while her mother has had to stop working so she can remain by her daughter’s side throughout treatment. After months of hospital care, the family can no longer manage the financial burden alone.

Thank you, and may this be counted in your good deeds!

Today is September 10, also known as national suicide prevention day. I’m typing this post to remind those who suffer from suicidal ideation or think about doing it…

The world is better with you in it.

You are not a burden.

You matter, even on your worst days.

You are not alone in what you’re going through.

It is not weak to speak up.

You can always try again tomorrow.

Some of your favourite days haven’t even happened yet.

It is okay to ask for help when things feel too heavy. You don't have to pretend to be okay all the time or figure everything out by yourself.

Talk to someone you trust, let people know when you're struggling, and be gentle with yourself and with the people around you.

Whatever you're going through, you deserve to be heard, supported, and cared for. Please keep reaching out, even on the days when it feels difficult.

If you or someone in your circle is struggling, free, confidential resources in the UAE exist that most people don't know about.

According to the World Health Organisation, 1 in 7 young people aged 10 to 19 experiences a mental disorder. For teens, this means a friend may be struggling before they know how to ask for help.
For parents, it is a reminder that young people need practical, safe and age-appropriate tools to support one another.

This is why @ismaelkhaderi, through The I.O Perspective, has fundraised to make Teen to Teen Mental Health First Aid Training accessible to 25 teens in the UAE.

These 25 fully sponsored spaces will allow teens aged 16 to 18 to learn how to recognise early signs of mental health struggles, respond with care, and support a friend while also protecting their own well-being.

The 4.5-hour evidence-based training will be delivered at The LightHouse Arabia and is designed specifically for teens supporting teens.
Date: Sunday, 27 September 2026
Time: 9am to 1:30pm
Location: The LightHouse Arabia, Al Wasl Road. Fee: Fully sponsored by The I.O Perspective. Age: 16 to 18 years old, UAE residents.

*Limited spots are available*

Saturday’s Emirates Loves Palestine event at Expo City Dubai drew over 50,000 people. There were Palestinian flags and keffiyehs everywhere, traditional food, music, and so many families just hanging out and celebrating. It really showed how much support and unity there is for Palestine here.

This is a lovely reminder that many Palestinians actually live here and are happy to call it home. They feel safe, raise their kids here, and see this place as part of their life. This event proved that people online are so quick to spread hate and aggression, while the reality on the ground is the complete opposite.

With the success of this event, I hope there are many more to come, celebrating all types of cultures around the world. It is beyond amazing.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has shared a message about staying true to your convictions, even when your ideas face criticism or are not immediately understood.

He cautioned against constantly seeking people's approval, saying, "If you seek the complete approval of people, then say nothing... do nothing... and be nothing."

Do you agree with Sheikh Mohammed's advice?

Blessed Friday Everyone!

اللهم صلي وسلم وبارك على نبينا وحبيبنا محمد وعلى اله وصحبه اجمعين ❣️

Donate today to give Chennakesava a reason to smile.

18-month-old Chennakesava is a playful little boy with a bright spirit. He loves playing with toy cars, splashing down the water slide and spending time with his sister. Chennakesava was born with a cleft palate, a condition that has delayed his growth and development. Speaking does not come easily, and his speech and hearing have also been affected.

At an age when children are beginning to discover their voices and communicate with the world around them, Chennakesava needs specialist treatment to help him thrive. Early intervention offers the best possible outcomes. Cleft palate surgery could make a life-changing difference.

With your support, Chennakesava can receive the surgery he needs, giving him the chance to grow, communicate and enjoy a healthier, happier childhood.
