As-Salamu alaikum, welcome back to the YouTube channel. Our brother in Islam, Kairi Irving is out here winning our hearts all over again. From raising awareness about the Manta Ramadan to blessing me and the Zamsan boys with his own jersey after the game, Kairi Irving is not done yet. Recently, Kairi Irving took to Instagram to educate his followers on what's happening to his brothers and sisters in Palestine. And by the way, it's crazy how once someone accepts Islam, they automatically develop this fire and energy to defend and support Palestine. And a lot of people are not educated about what's happening in Palestine. So Kairi Irving is using his platforms to spread awareness in whatever capacity he possibly can. And that right there deserves to be celebrated. However, the other day, Kairi Irving shut things down in the media press conference after all he was getting questions about the basketball game. This is what he had to say. You know, I'm not going to lie to you guys. A lot of stuff is going on in this world. And the basketball is just not the most important thing to me right now. There's a lot of stuff going on overseas. All my people are still in bondage. They're sad to see this shit going on. And it's not just in Palestine, it's not just in Israel. Discrimination against based on their religion, color their skin, what they believe in. It's just sad. Kairi Irving selflessly shifts away the attention from himself and puts it on issues that matter the most, on people that matter the most, which are the Palestinians. You know, I apologize if I'm not going to be focused on your questions. You know, it's just too much going on in the world, which is talking about basketball. I mean, how can any one of us focus on anything else but what's happening to them in Palestine? I feel it. I'm very compassionate to all races, all cultures, you know. We all say we're human beings and we care and we're compassionate, but what are you doing to help? And in this clip, Kairi Irving is essentially narrating a prophetic hadith from the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, in which he's explained to us how the Muslim body is one body. When one of our brothers or sisters hurts in this body, we all feel that pain. And the fact that he feels that pain and you and I feel that pain shows how united we truly are becoming. But some of you must be thinking the following. So what? Kairi should be talking about Palestine. You should be supporting Palestine anyways. It doesn't matter. That's his job. He's a Muslim now. He should be supporting Palestine. Our brothers and sisters are dying over there. That's the least that you can do. I mean, what do you even have to lose, Kairi? What's the big deal? Public figures such as Kairi Irving have a lot to lose, particularly about $20 million a year in endorsement revenues, just from saying one wrong thing, which makes Kairi Irving a bigger legend, just for the fact that he is not afraid to speak up and perhaps potentially even lose those massive endorsements. One might be wondering why our Muslim so excited that Kairi Irving is speaking on behalf of the Palestinians? Well, that's because Kairi Irving possesses the star power and superstar status that the likes of Muhammad Abdul Ra'ouf did not possess, in which he did not stand up for the national anthem in America and they practically exiled him from the NBA. Kairi Irving not only possesses so much clout that can potentially not get him canceled from the NBA, he's just so Allahumma bad, a good on that court that even if you hate what he has to say out of his mouth, you are just clapping up in awe of his entire game. So while some of your favorite celebrities or influencers are silent about the matter or indifferent about the matter, or some are even on the wrong side of the matter, Kairi Irving should be celebrated because he is unapologetically standing for the Palestinians and for Muslims and that deserves our support. Through Kairi Irving, so many of his younger fans are going to learn and become aware about the atrocities that Israel is performing against the Palestinians and that right there is a huge win. Remember Allahusma jalla will never test a person with more than what they can handle and the brothers and sisters in Palestine are far stronger than you and I hence Allah as the wajal is testing them in a manner the you and I will never be able to be tested at. But perhaps our test while we witness all this happening is are we going to use these events to help unite us as an umma or are we going to allow our differences to separate us and divide us so that they can weaken our voices. The choice is up to us and the ball is in our court now. Let me know if there's a celebrity that has surprised you with their stance for or against Palestine or perhaps a celebrity that deserves more credit than they are getting in the moments and until next time I'm out.
