Being united in injustice is not a unity worth celebrating.
You’re not called to stand with your tribe regardless of what they do.
You’re meant to stand for justice even if that means witnessing against yourself.
O you who have believed, stand firmly for God, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear God; indeed, God is aware of what you do.
Quran 5:8
To see and hear celebrities whooping and cheering that they’ve never been more united is quite vulgar.
Now is not a time for tribal loyalty. Now is a time for humanity.
“O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of God, is the best in conduct. Lo! God is knowing, aware.”
Quran 49:13
