“In the Name of the Ever Merciful and Most Compassionate, Ya Allah, be with the people of Minneapolis. Stand alongside the people in the streets who are fighting to keep their neighbors safe. Calm their racing hearts and make their voices boom. Give them breath to blow whistles and strength to stand up to oppression. Help them to remember that they are not alone in this struggle. That the eyes of the world and the love of our hearts are with them. Send them courage to fight back even when they are afraid. Oh Allah be with those who are being hunted and kidnapped. Keep them safe in their homes, and protected from those who would hurt them. Connect them with those who feed them, hide them, and argue for them in court. May they know peace and joy.”
