East Room: Reception for General Tom Thumb
On February 13, 1863, a honeymoon Party was held at the White House for Charles S. Stratton and Livinia Warren, who had been married shortly before in New York City. “He was twenty-four years old, thirty-two inches high, and weight twenty-one pounds. She was four years younger, of the same height, and eight pounds heavier. Only a few [days] before, the ‘distinguished Lilliputians’ had been married in New York City, and P.T. Barnum, super-showman of the day who had the ‘General’ under contract, had lost no time in publicizing the vent and arrange to have the couple presented to chiefs of republics and royal sovereigns,” wrote Stanley Kimmel.1 Warren and Stratton, who was known as General Tom Thumb, came to Washington where Stratton’s brother was stationed with the Union Army. They stayed at Willard’s Hotel before attending a well-publicized, well-attended reception at the White House in their honor.
“O mankind! We created you from a single
(pair) of a male and a female, and made
you into nations and tribes, that you may
know each other (not that you may despise
each other). Verily the most honored of
you in the sight of GOD is (he who is)
the most righteous of you.
And GOD has full knowledge
and is well acquainted (with all things),”
– Quran 49:13

Thank You GOD, for saving me, keeping me away from the many, many Evils of this world.
Years ago when I first began striving for my college degree, new to Islam, eager to learn visiting Africa and the Mid East, I had the sincere desire in my quest to prove that Muslims had no involvement in the African slave trade. Yet the Truth dispelled my unlearned presumptions I held for my love of both Africans (Africa) and of Muslim’s who along with the rest of the world played major roles in slavery as participants in the enslavement of Africans to one degree or another. – Mr. Harun Jihad Bilal

US calls on Israel to investigate death of Palestinian boy
The U.S. State Department is calling on Israel to open a “thorough” investigation into the mysterious death of a 7-year-old Palestinian boy who collapsed and died on Thursday, shortly after Israeli soldiers came to his home in the occupied West Bank.
The boy’s father, Yasser Suleiman, said Rayan tried to run away when the soldiers said they wanted to arrest his brothers and was briefly chased by the soldiers. He said Rayan was vomiting blood in the car after collapsing and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The name As-Samad has many aspects to its meaning. It refers to The One Who is Lord, Who possesses and disposes of all affairs, The One Whom people come to with their needs (no matter race, ethnicity, or religion). He Who is Self-Sufficient, not needing nor depending upon anyone or thing. The One Who all of the creation depends upon for their needs and their requests. He is GOD – “Allah,” glory be unto Him. He has no coequal, and nothing is like Him. The One, The Irresistible. As-Samad, the Master Whose Control is complete. GOD “As-Samad” is above having children and procreating. He Who all creation seek for assistance eternally.
The White House announced the summit last month with the stated goal of bringing together Democrats, Republicans and leaders from all levels of government.
Specifically, the summit will seek to get to the root of hate crimes — crimes motivated by racism, white supremacy, or anti-gay bigotry. Crimes like the 2012 Sikh temple shooting in Oak Creek, Wisc., the 2022 grocery store Buffalo, N.Y., the 2019 Walmart shooting in El Paso, the 2021 shooting that killed six women of Asian descent in Atlanta, or the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, where 49 people were killed and 53 more were wounded.

Russia-induced global food crisis pushes 49M to ‘brink’ of famine, starvation: expert warns
Russia’s war in Ukraine has sparked a global crisis, and experts warn that hunger poses the greatest worldwide security threat as millions face famine and starvation.
“The conflict in Ukraine isn’t just increasing hunger conditions within the country or even within the region,” Steve Taravella, senior spokesperson for the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), told Fox News. “The number of people who are on the brink of famine is now about 48.9 million in 43 countries.
“That is really dramatic.”
Taravella said that roughly three-quarters of a million people are facing starvation in just five nations across the globe, including Ethiopia, Yemen, South Sudan, Afghanistan and Somalia.
