This study explores the potential of the geopolitics of ummah in uniting the Muslim community amidst the ongoing genocide in Gaza since October 2023. This genocide has sparked global support, including from Western societies. Given Palestine's status as the home of Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, this momentum should spur the ummah to make a significant impact. The study underscores the need for the ummah to realize their potential, as demonstrated historically and through Western responses to their unity efforts. We examine this potential using the Baitul Maqdis Barakah Circle ). Data were obtained from literature studies and analyzed using critical discourse analysis (CDA) to understand how this discourse influences the thoughts and behaviors of the ummah. The results indicate that support for Palestine has heightened awareness of the liberation of thought. Islamic solutions, including struggle in the way of Allah, are gaining recognition as responses to the failure of international actors to end the Israeli occupation. These findings suggest that the ummah can play a significant role in global politics by uniting and mobilizing their strengths, including population numbers, comprehensive solutions to occupation, and material power such as natural resources and military capabilities.

This paper seeks to understand the worsening health crisis in Gaza, which affects both the people and the healthcare infrastructure, as well as the regional and international responses to this plight. Gaza has become a stage for a humanitarian crisis as a result of Israeli incursions into Palestine. Among the multifaceted crises occurring in Gaza, the healthcare sector has borne the brunt of the impact. The authors employ qualitative research with a descriptive method to examine the problem at hand. The article begins by discussing the health crisis in Gaza, which has worsened following the Israeli attacks after October 7. It highlights the reported assaults on healthcare infrastructure and medical workers that have further strained the existing medical capacity. Considering recent developments, it can be observed that regional states in the Middle East and the international community have not remained idle amid the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Various efforts have been made to address the crisis, involving both state and non-state actors, with aims ranging from calls for boycotts, recognition of Palestine as a state, to the issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli leaders. Overall, this paper concludes that despite the worsening health crisis in Gaza, recent developments indicate active efforts from the international community to alleviate the suffering.

ABSTRACTBackground: Global climate change has escalated ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure, contributing to skin aging and damage. Ultraviolet radiation, especially UV-B, is a known inducer of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which trigger inflammation and accelerate photoaging by increasing IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α levels. Clitoria ternatea, or butterfly pea, contains bioactive phytochemicals such as flavonoids and anthocyanins, known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of C. ternatea extract cream on serum IL-1β levels in UV-B-induced Wistar rats, exploring its potential in reducing photoaging and promoting skin health.Methods: True experimental study with post-test only control group design involving male Wistar rats for 30 days. The rats were divided into four groups: negative control with placebo (base cream) and treatment groups given 2.5%, 5%, and 10% C. ternatea extract cream, with UV-B induction applied for 30 minutes, three times per week. IL-1β were evaluated using ELISA Rat IL-1 kit.Results: Significant differences were observed between the negative control and extract-treated groups. The lowest IL-1β levels were recorded in the 2.5% and 5% extract groups (p<0.001), indicating a strong anti-inflammatory effect. The findings suggest that C. ternatea extract cream, especially at 2.5% and 5% concentrations, effectively reduces IL-1β levels in UV-B-induced Wistar rats. The bioactive compounds in C. ternatea, such as anthocyanins and flavonoids, may inhibit ROS production and inflammation pathways. This study demonstrates that C. ternatea extract cream can reduce IL-1β levels, potentially mitigating UV-induced skin damage.Conclusion: The C. ternatea extract’s anti-inflammatory properties make it a promising candidate for skincare products aimed at reducing photoaging. Further studies are recommended to explore the effects of higher concentrations and long-term applications in clinical settings. Keywords: Clitoria ternatea extract, IL-1β modulation, antiphotoaging, photoprotective agents, herbal skincare.
