I won’t lie, this ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. makes me uncomfortable. After everything that has happened, a pause like this does not feel easy to sit with.

But not everything that feels bitter is betrayal.

A lot of people are about to turn on Iran now, the same way people turned on Imam Hasan (a.s) when he made peace with Muawiya. They can only understand resistance when it looks like constant fighting. They struggle to understand that sometimes restraint is also strategy, and sometimes preserving strength is part of the battle too.

So yes, this makes me uneasy. But I understand it, and I support it.

The crowd that was praising Iran yesterday will start calling it weakness today. That says more about them than it does about Iran.

Learn Islam and politics, understand both so clearly so no one can manipulate in the name of religion or power.

BREAKING: "Rich Starry," a Chinese oil tanker sanctioned for shipping Iranian oil, flying the flag of Malawi — a country with no coastline — just sailed through America's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The Navy, with its many "big beautiful ships," issued repeated warnings. Reportedly, The tanker's captain upgraded to premium to skip the ads.

EDIT: We're being told the blockade only applies to countries the US isn't afraid of. That list used to be long. It now fits on Trump's McDonald's receipt, Delivered by DoorDash.

Why west uses “Jihadist” as if It’s a slur and that we should be offended by it?

[Murtaza Al Mousavi @Callmemzk]

@ayeshaijazkhan Not a Shia tradition to have our women dance in front of the western imperialism, that's Saudi tradition

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

[Murtaza Al Mousavi @Callmemzk]

Islam is not passivity. It is honor, ghayrah, jihad, standing with truth, fighting for what is right, and if needed, being sacrificed for it. That spirit is only alive in Iranians to resist the enemies of Islam, not in Saudies those who reduce the Ummah to sectarian slogans while failing to confront real oppression as cowards dressed up as purity.

@williamtjzhuo There's alot of fog, all we can do is wait for it to clear out.

[Murtaza Al Mousavi @Callmemzk]

If this report from Yossi Eliezer is true, then let’s stop dressing this up as “peace efforts.”

What it shows is something much uglier: Trump was supposedly leaning toward ending the fighting if Hormuz reopened, and then MBS stepped in and pushed for the war to continue, not to protect the region, but to use the moment to try to break Iran once and for all.

And look at what was allegedly put on the table: war financing, weapons purchases, normalization with Israel, oil pipelines through Israeli ports, new bases, naval control over the region, and even plans for a “post-regime” Iran.

This is why so many people never bought the “stability” narrative in the first place. Because every time you scratch the surface, the same reality shows up underneath: weaken Iran, secure Israel deeper into the region, let Gulf money bankroll it, and call the whole thing “moderation.”

Even that word says a lot. When these people say they want a “moderate” Iran, they do not mean a better Iran for Iranians. They mean an Iran that is obedient, defanged, and folded into an American-led order.

So if this reporting is accurate, then the issue was never just missiles, nuclear talks, or shipping lanes. The real issue was sovereignty. Iran refuses to be turned into another client state, and that is exactly what makes it intolerable to them.

And the temporary ceasefire? That does not look like peace in this frame. It looks like a pause. A pause to regroup, recalculate, and continue the larger project later.

Again, the source here is Yossi Eliezer, so people should still be cautious and wait for further confirmation. But if true, It exposes intent.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

In intensive talks at highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with U.S in good faith to end war.

But when just inches away from "Islamabad MoU", we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade.

Russia wants the conflict to exhaust both Washington and Tehran without resolving. keeping oil prices high, and keeping Iran within Russia's sphere of influence

[Murtaza Al Mousavi @Callmemzk]

Pakistan is attempting to play the Grotian mediator (the honest broker) who believes in international law above power politics, Israel had made sure no such thing as international law exists. Also Pakistan itself is a deeply fragile state financially dependent on the IMF and Gulf money, which structurally limits it's independence.

I'll end with this. The sciences of hadith were not built as decoration. They were built because early Islamic scholars understood that transmission is fallible, memory reconstructs, political environments corrupt, and family loyalty shapes what people remember and how they say it. They built 'ilm al-rijal and isnad analysis and the common link method and the concept of ikhtilat specifically to catch what has gone wrong with this narration. The tools work. They're sitting right there. The only question is whether we're willing to use them when the answer they produce challenges something we assumed was settled. Because what they tell us when applied honestly is that the 9-year figure fails on narrator geography, fails on transmission language, fails on Medinan silence, fails on common link analysis, fails on internal contradiction, and survives only because later generations decided institutional comfort mattered more than methodological consistency.

Next time someone says "but it's in Bukhari" ask them: which narrator, which city, which decade of his life, which students, what transmission language, corroborated by which Medinan sources, consistent with which other narrations in the same collection. The silence after those questions is the most honest answer this tradition has given on the subject in fourteen centuries. The science was always there to ask them. We just have to be willing to listen to what it says.

A Case for Aisha's Age Being 18-20

Every time this topic comes up it goes the same way. Someone says 9 years, someone else says that's wrong, both sides yell past each other for a while and nothing gets resolved. I want to try something different. I want to use the actual science of hadith transmission, the one Islamic scholars spent centuries developing, and just apply it. Honestly. To this specific narration. Because when you do that, the 9-year figure has a serious problem. Several, actually.

[Seyed Mohammad Marandi @s_m_marandi]

Since the Epstein class is insulting the holy Prophet and his wife Aisha in order to hide their crimes, I decided to write this. Historians list Aisha among the first two dozen people to convert to Islam, which would have required her to be at least several years old at the start of the Prophet's mission. The overwhelming consensus among Shia scholars is that she was 18-19 when she married. This is the most frequently cited range, often calculated using the age of her older sister, Asma, who was 10 years older and died at 100 years old.

[Murtaza Al Mousavi @Callmemzk]

So let's put the Shia position on the same scale and measure it by the same criteria. Narrations placing Aisha's age at 18 to 20 transmit through Imam al-Baqir and Imam al-Sadiq, both based in Medina during the 1st and 2nd centuries AH, operating in the actual city where this history happened, in the generation directly following the events. Their chains show none of the problems I've described: no single-family common link collapse, no Iraqi-only geographic concentration in the critical transmission period, no documented ikhtilat among the transmitters, no tadlis accusations, no contradiction with other narrations from the same sources, no absence from early literature in their tradition. And they are consistent with every line of chronological evidence we have: the Asma mathematics, the Tabari family chronology, the prior betrothal evidence, and Aisha's own testimony about remembering her parents' conversion.

Now grade both positions on the criteria the hadith sciences themselves established. The 9-year figure: single-family common link, Iraqi-only critical transmission, documented ikhtilat and tadlis concerns, explicit rejection by Malik of the primary transmitter's Iraqi narrations, absent from Muwatta and Mudawwana and the earliest Sira, contradicted by Aisha's own words in the same collection, now classified as shadhdh by a Sunni scholar in a Sunni institution. The 18 to 20 figure: Medinan transmission origin, no common link collapse, no documented reliability problems, consistent with all chronological cross-checks, aligned with Aisha's internal self-testimony. On pure hadith methodology, it's not a close call.
