The Zy-ni0st lobby instigated a malicious campaign aimed at preventing Muslim speakers who had spoken out against the genocide in Palestine from entering Canada to address the Muslim Association of Canada’s convention. Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool was among those detained by border control at a Canadian airport while on his way to the convention as an invited speaker.

It is moments like these that remind us why the work of the World for All Foundation matters.

These are the times when speaking truth, standing for justice, and refusing to look away from suffering come with consequences. Sometimes it means scrutiny. Sometimes it means inconvenience. Sometimes it means being stopped and detained at airports. Sometimes it means being denied entry into country. Sometimes it means being declared persona non grata.

But history records that justice only prevails, and oppression only ends, when justice and peace-loving people are willing to speak the truth even while experiencing tremendous personal consequences. And history shows, time and again, that they are often the ones who ultimately stand on the right side of history.

And so we continue our work, and we continue pray for peace and justice — and for the ability to see the Divine within one another.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, Allah (SWT) says: وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ “Do not…

Ebrahim Rasool sharpened this challenge by asking whether repeated devotional practices alone can respond to the deep crises confronting both the ummah and humanity. He situated these crises within what he called a “70 by 70” condition: in the roughly 70 years since World War II, Muslims have found themselves in the centre of the overwhelming majority of global conflicts, whether through colonial intervention, dispossession, occupation or authoritarianism.

The book, comprising an introduction and twenty essays, emerges from the broader 1500 Prophetic Legacy Project, marking approximately 1500 lunar years since

Middle Powers: Coping with a rogue superpower (Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool),

AL-QALAM, 24 APRIL 2026

But Iran is proving more resilient than expected, and survival itself is victory. The United States, however, no longer appears impervious to resistance, but while it is vulnerable as a superpower, it still retains sufficient superpowers to prevail. Middle powers, traditional and emergent, are now forced to consider what a post-American world would look like. In the interim, they have to cope with an America that is an incoherent, rogue, and punitive superpower, bereft of strategic vision.

WAR ON IRAN – Holding Three Opposing Ideas Simultaneously

Ebrahim Rasool (Former Ambassador to the USA and declared Persona Non Grata by Trump) thought provoking article is captured in Al-Qalam:
F. Scott Fitzgerald held that one of the signs of a first-class mind was the ability to hold two opposing ideas in one’s head. The complexity of the current geopolitical situation globally probably requires our minds to hold at least three contradictory and opposing ideas at the same time if we are to navigate and make sense of the world today, especially the Middle East as the theatre of conflict.

Amb Ebrahim Rasool writes: “The Chief Rabbi can no longer dissemble whether an eye for an eye can be interpreted to mean that 2400 eyes on October 7th justify 200 000 eyes ever since. The debate is mathematical, polemical, political, not moral, religious or ethical. “

Iman Rappetti was her brilliant, wonderful self as she emceed the Congress of Business and Economics’ Ahmed Kathrada Excellence in Leadership Award ceremony.

but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

The first ever G20 held on African soil, will be in South Africa.

Build-up to the summit has been overshadowed by Donald Trump's refusal to attend the summit.
The US President cited widely discredited claims that white South Afrikaner farmers are being persecuted, as his reasoning.

South Africa denies these allegations and its President Cyril Ramaphosa says the US’s refusal to miss the G20 is regrettable.

Relations between the two countries are also strained due to South Africa’s pro-Palestinian stance, underscored by its ICJ genocide case against Israel.

Topics on the agenda include global debt, inequality and climate finance, while South Africa is pushing its agenda for the Global South.

As the world’s most powerful leader sits out, will the rest of the G20 step up and lead the globe's economic future?
