🌙𝗘𝗶𝗱 𝗔𝗹-𝗔𝗱𝗵𝗮 𝗠𝘂𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗸 1447H / 2026 🇵🇸
As we welcome the blessed days of 𝐄𝐢𝐝 𝐀𝐥-𝐀𝐝𝐡𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, the Hashim Sani Centre for Palestine Studies at Universiti Malaya extends our warmest wishes and prayers to the global Ummah and, most importantly, to our resilient brothers and sisters in Palestine.

This Eid, our hearts remain firmly anchored in 𝐆𝐚𝐳𝐚.
Amidst the deep trials, loss, and devastation, the children of Gaza continue to teach the world the true meaning of 𝐓𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐥𝐚 (reliance on God), ultimate sacrifice, and unyielding hope. Just like a small plant growing amidst the rubble, their spirit remains unbroken, nurturing a future built on steadfastness (𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐮𝐝).
As we perform our Qurban and gather with loved ones, let us carry Gaza deeply in our prayers.
May this Eid bring them the solidarity they deserve, the strength to endure, and the dawn of lasting freedom and hope.
"𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙂𝙖𝙯𝙖 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨. 𝙈𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙀𝙞𝙙 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚."
𝐓𝐚𝐪𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐮 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐖𝐚 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐮𝐦 (May Allah accept good deeds from us and from you).

YouTube has removed a talk by Dr. Basem Naim, delivered in May 2024 and co-organised by the Hashim Sani Centre and AMEC. The platform labeled discussion on justice, equality, and freedom for Palestinians as a violation of its guidelines.

This decision restricts access to important perspectives and limits open discussion. When platforms remove voices that speak about rights and accountability, they shape what people can see and understand.

Silence in the face of injustice gives space for it to continue. Speaking up challenges that silence. Sharing information keeps these conversations alive and visible.

Key facts:
• 95 to 97 percent of schools damaged or destroyed
• All universities affected
• Hundreds of academics and thousands of students killed
