Love is all things. The Creator is love, and He resides within you. Each time that you express your love, you have created. And each time you pass up a chance to show love, you have also passed up your chance to develop your birthright of being a creator.

Honestly I never promote GoFundMe pages but when I was sent this wallahi I felt like throwing up thinking of how cruel people can be. Let’s help this sister out! May Allah SWT forgive us for any sins we committed and always remember…whatever your problems are in life…they are nothing compared to other people’s. Tonight before you go to sleep thank Allah for everything you have. She was walking to school and a man threw acid all over her face. “Assalmu Alaikum brother. This picture before you was taken of a Muslim sister, Suad. She was going to school when a fellow man viciously threw acid at her. Her injuries are very severe and she needs help. She was the breadwinner in her family and now they have no money to pay her hospital bills and she is to be sent home without it. Can you please make this picture go viral and let everyone know so they can donate to her cause inshallah. 🙏🏽https://www.gofundme.com/ru5cjwj8 that’s the link . Inshallah let’s help Suad 😊"
Noela Rukundo was marked for death even more than the average Australian. As she was visiting family in Burundi, Africa, she found out that her husband back in Australia had hired some local men to “take care of her.” Fortunately for Noela, it turned out to be the most inspiring case of attempted murder we’ve ever come across.
The hitmen kidnapped Noela and took her to a safe, quiet location … so they could get to know her better. Amazingly, that isn’t a euphemism. These were either the softest hitmen in history or Noela was one hell of a gal, because after two days of captivity (to make her seem suitably disappeared) and a stern lecture about her choice in men, Noela was released. The hitmen did give her an 80-hour time limit to leave the country, but it was for her safety – the gang suspected that Noela’s husband might have hired other assassins, and they might not be as gentle.

My 16 year old cousin Kiera has gone missing. She left her home in Spokane, WA where she lives with her grandparents around 4:00pm on Sunday, May 1st, saying she was going to go on a walk. She brought with her her favorite stuffed animal and a blanket which her grandmother found strange, but Kiera said she wanted to show them to a friend and would be back in 30 minutes. Her grandmother had a bad feeling and tracked the GPS on her phone to find that she was 4 miles away 10 minutes after she left making it extremely likely she got in someone’s car.
More information has been found and it is known that Kiera left her grandparents a letter that stated “By the time you read this, I will probably be dead. If not, I will be heading south.” No other information about her whereabouts was included in the letter, but she also kept a diary in which she wrote in there “I must to go as casually as possible, get into the car as quickly as I can, don’t make a scene, definitely drive, don’t fly” which makes it very likely that this is something much more serious than a teen running away from home. She has an cognitive disability (I apologize if that is not the correct wording) which hinders her decision-making skills and makes her a much easier target to be preyed on as such.
The main suspect of who picked her up is the man in the bottom photo, Zachary Wayne Jones, who she likely met online in a chat forum as she spent a lot of time on sites such as deviantArt, furAffinity, and other gaming/chatroom sites and was coached into letting him pick her up. The police are currently doing everything that they can to investigate the case so that we can get Kiera back home but please, please keep an eye out.
Kiera is 17 years old, 5′ 3″, 110 lbs with long dark brown hair. She has thick rimmed glasses and a BRIGHT GREEN CAST on her arm from a roller skating accident, and was last seen wearing a gray hoodie and blue jeans. The suspect Zachary Wayne Jones is 30-year-old man with blond hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 118 lbs. They may be traveling in a 1997 blue Acura with Virginia license plate VGD6867.
If anyone sees either of these two, PLEASE report it to the police immediately!!! And please share this post!!!! Our family is terribly worried about Kiera and we want to get her home as quickly and as safely as possible. Thank you!!!

On this date, [September 4] in 1781, the city of Los Angeles was founded. This episode is part of African American history and heritage.l
Originally established as El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles, the second largest city in America was founded by 44 pobladores (people of color) from (then) New Spain, now called Mexico. The heads of the eleven founding families were Antonio Clemente Villavicencio, a Spaniard; Antonio Mesa, a Negro; Jose Fernando Lara, a Spaniard, Jose Vanegas, an Indian; Pablo Rodriquez, and Indian; Manuel Camero, a Mulatto; Jose Antonio Navarro, a Mestizo; Jose Moreno, a Mulatto; Basillio Rosas, an Indian; Alejandro Rosas, an Indian; and Luis Quintero, a Negro. The two Spaniards and three Indians had Indian wives; the remaining six had Mulatto wives. Despite their varied racial background, they shared a common language, culture and religion since all were Spanish subjects and Catholics.
The first Spanish civilian settlement in Southern California, the pueblo helped provide food for the soldiers in the presidios and secure Spain's hold on California. When an election was held in Los Angeles in 1788, Jose Vanegas, an Indian, became its first mayor. Manuel Camero, a Mulatto, and Felipe Garcia were elected to the first city council a year later. Juan Francisco Reyes, an early Mulatto settler served as mayor from 1793- 1795. Originally the owner of the San Fernando Valley Rancho, he traded it to the Franciscans in 1797 so they could establish a mission there. Tiburcio Tapla, the grandson of a Negro, Felipe Tapia, became a powerful figure in Los Angeles after 1833 serving three times as mayor and later as a judge. Catarina Morengo, granddaughter of the Mulatto founder Jose Moreno, married General Andres Pico of the famous Pico family. Her brother-in-law, Pio Pico was the last Governor of California under the Mexican regime. The Pico brothers had some Indian & African ancestors and central Los Angele’s Pico Boulevard is named after the family.
Several descendants of the Negro founder Luis Quintero are living in Los Angeles today. A grandson served as mayor of Santa Barbara; Eugene Biscailuz, a great grandson, as sheriff of Los Angeles. Maria Valdez, a granddaughter, once owned the rancho, which is now known as Beverly Hills. These are only a few of the many individuals of varied backgrounds who made important contributions to the development of Los Angeles, a great cosmopolitan city that now ranks second largest in the United States of America.

Hi I’d like to share a story and would extremely appreciate it, if you guys can REBLOG & SHARE.
Okay, so this is my cousin Hanad Abdullaziz. He’s a 21 year old Somalian male. On Tuesday June. 23rd, 2015 in Surrey, British Columbia (Canada) he was driving in his neighbourhood. When the police suddenly stopped him. Hanad was confused as to why he was being pulled over, so he asked the undercover officer’s. The officer’s immediately smashed his window and dragged him out of the vehicle. They viciously started beating him until he was almost unconscious.
Hanad was getting brutally beaten for about five minutes. He was screaming for his life, “STOP I’M A STUDENT, I DIDN’T DO NOTHING.” These six under cover officers were accusing Hanad of being involved in recent shootings that have been happening in city of Surrey,BC since January of 2015. Between Somalis and Punjabis over drug turf.
When they finally stopped beating Hanad, they announced that the reason they pulled him over was for not signalling. Hanad suffered from multiple bruisings, cuts and a broken arm. He has since been traumatized, and does not feel safe. His family has hired a lawyer and are hoping for justice.
The police have been targeting young black innocent males since January, 2015 in Surrey, BC. But this is the first time it has come to an unjust assault. I share this story with you guys today because we can’t keep quiet anymore. An innocent young BLACK male has yet again been battered by the police. We need to let the public know. These men with authority stay abusing their power. And this is becoming too common for minority’s. The family has reached out to multiple news reporters and are being ignored.
So PLEASE share and REBLOG because Black lives matter and police brutality needs to stop. #BlackLivesMatter #StopPoliceBrutality #JusticeforHanad
