A year later, this wound remains unhealed. His life was dedicated to upholding the dignity of the Islamic Ummah, defending the oppressed, advocating for palestine’s freedom, and supporting vulnerable communities worldwide. His sudden martyrdom plunged freedom-loving hearts across nations into mourning.
