Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint.
Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called 'ethnic cleansing'. Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of this war, Ilan Pappe offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel’s founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. Indispensable for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East

The Forty Hadiths of al-Quds, an Arabic work authored by Shaykh Dr Ra’id Fathi graciously translated into English by The Kūrānī Institute, thereby making it accessible to a wider audience.
The translation of the Forty Hadiths on the virtues of al-Quds arises from a profound sense of urgency as Palestine endures suffering amid ongoing genocide. Al-Quds is not merely a physical location; it symbolizes our faith and is a site of immense barakah, as affirmed by the Qur'an and Sunnah. These Hadiths remind us of the profound spiritual significance of al- Masjid al - Aqsa and its central role in our eschatological beliefs.
Shaykh Dr Fathi's meticulous compilation reflects the Islamic tradition of assembling collections of forty, symbolizing completeness and spiritual fulfillment. This work connects the ummah to the timeless virtues of al-Quds in an intellectually rigorous and spiritually enriching manner.
May Allah accept this humble effort and use it to benefit the Ummah, reminding us of our sacred connection to al-Masjid al-Aqsa and strengthening our resolve to defend its honor and sanctity. Ameen.
