A special visit to Edinburgh Museums's Museum of Childhood! Edinburgh. They now have more dolls of colour in their collection! Seeing yourself represented and having your kids experiencing that as 'normal' matters. Great impact for my work with National Museums Scotland nms.ac.uk/collections-re…

#South_Africa at the #ICJ. I can't help but read. "Had God (Allah) not checked people by means of others, destruction would have surely claimed monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which Allah’s Name is often mentioned." Quran 22:40 I pray for humanity #Justice

Fantastic start to this year's Glasgow Film Festival. Our vice-Chair delivering the not so good news (for me) that I've missed out in the blink of an eye! Unbelievable. Any reserves GFT?

Edinburgh people: I'd really recommend the Fruitmarket Art Gallery. Warm and welcoming staff, great cafe and ... most importantly right now, a free 'One Bum Cinema' .. well two wee bums anyway. The kids loved it! Great to see Creative Scotland funded orgs delivering great work! 👏🏿

Real sad to see this state of affairs. Always an optimist however. One view I've taken on 'politics' is that it's meant to take care of people's affairs. We need to be able to make space for debate and expression of opinion. Praying for peace 🤲🏽 theguardian.com/culture/2024/f…

Islam sees the universe as Muslim! 🌍 My sermon this week highlighted our shared duty to protect the environment. It's time for the Muslim world to speak up on sustainability and challenge destructive systems. Listen here: youtu.be/TpIinnOpQdU?si… #ClimateChange #Sustainability
