Prayers for those suffering.. those who have lost their children, their entire families, those who don’t have homes, those who are in pain every single second.. and especially for those who are ignorant and misinformed about the suffering around them. May the universe be kind to…

In her poignant message, Khan stated, “Nothing feels good. And I understand life goes on…It has to. We resume work, we worry about our child’s exams, or mother’s health, or our own…But through it all…The heart bleeds and breaks. May Allah have mercy on Palestine.

Khan’s words resonate with the sentiments of millions worldwide deeply affected by the ongoing Israeli actions in Palestine. As violence persists in the region, Khan’s message serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by the people of Palestine, calling for compassion and mercy amid the challenging circumstances they endure.
Earlier, Khan faced controversy on X when some users accused her of delivering a “diplomatic” statement amid Israel’s offensive against Gaza. However, Khan clarified her stance, expressing her support for those suffering and showing empathy for those who might be misinformed about the situation.
Responding to a troll’s insinuation that her “silence” was motivated by concerns about her future Hollywood contracts, Khan delivered a concise yet powerful message: “Uhhh, I call it loud and clear. Sit down. Use your time to pray for Palestine.” Her unapologetic reply demonstrated her commitment to raising her voice for the suffering in Gaza.
Additionally, Khan retweeted a statement by Fatima Bhutto, echoing sentiments about the tragic situation in Gaza. Bhutto shared a heart-wrenching video of a baby girl rescued from the rubble of a bombed house, emphasizing the victims of Israel’s actions and criticizing international support for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
