PANDOR CHANNELS HADITH ON OPPRESSED AND OPPRESSORS

South Africa’s foreign minister Naledi Pandor - who’s been vocal and active in her support of Palestinians, and relentless in her attempts to end Israel’s war in Gaza - has addressed the Al-Quds Mosque in Cape Town.

During her speech, she cited two hadiths (sayings by the Prophet Muhammad) about how we should act towards the oppressed and their oppressors.

Her message was a reminder to Muslims of their duties during this time of trouble in the Middle East. But it’s one that will resonate strongly with non-Muslims as well. Indeed, it’s one that the backers of Tel Aviv’s terrible war - the US and co. - would also do well to learn from.
