Another user said “And do not think that God is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a day in which eyes will be closed.) Oh God, we seek refuge in You from incapacity and oppression. Oh God, we entrust Palestine and all the people of Gaza to You, so support them and protect them with Your eyes that never sleep.”
