At first they tried to change his identity to a "Maronite Christian" but it didn't work, and now they're saying Arabs are calling him a traitor.

That's why I'm suspecting that the whole thing was staged, but God sent a Muslim to destroy their evil plan, that's why they're pushing another propaganda now.

For those who do not understand the image. The cartoon image is a meme that depicts a man in traditional Arab attire (thobe and ghutra) holding a stack of five large books labeled Qalun, Hafs, Warsh, Al-Duri, and Khalaf.

What the meme is referring to
These labels are not different "books" or separate versions of the Quran. They are names of authentic canonical recitations (Qirā'at) of the same Quran:

1. Hafs (full: Hafs 'an 'Asim): The most widespread recitation today, used in about 95% of printed Qur'ān worldwide (including most Muslim countries outside North Africa).
2. Warsh (Warsh 'an Nafi'): Commonly used in parts of North Africa (e.g., Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia).
3. Qalun: (Qalun 'an Nafi'): Another transmission from the same reader as Warsh, popular in Libya and parts of Tunisia.
4. Al-Duri; (Al-Duri 'an Abu 'Amr): Used in some regions of Sudan and West Africa.
5. Khalaf (Khalaf 'an Hamzah): One of the less common ones today but still authentic.

There are traditionally 7 or 10 canonical Qirā'at (depending on scholarly classification), all tracing back through unbroken chains of transmission to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). These are different styles of recitation, primarily in pronunciation, intonation, vowel lengthening, and minor word forms similar to regional accents or dialects in a language.

Why the differences exist (Islamic perspective)
The Qur'ān was revealed in classical Arabic, which had various tribal dialects. Authentic hadiths state it was revealed in seven ahruf (modes/dialects) to make recitation easier for different Arab tribes. Over time, these developed into the standardized Qirā'at, all considered fully authentic and divinely permitted. The skeletal text (rasm) of the Qur'ān remains identical across all; differences are mostly in how words are vocalized or minor synonyms that complement rather than contradict the meaning.

The meme plays on a common criticism (often from non-Muslim polemicists) suggesting these Qirā'at prove "multiple Qur'ān" or textual corruption. In reality:
a. All Qirā'at convey the same core message and doctrines.
b. Differences are subtle (e.g., pronunciation of a word like "maliki" vs. "maaliki" in Al-Fatihah, or minor grammatical forms).
c. They enrich understanding by providing layered meanings, not conflicts.
d. The vast majority of Muslims recite in Hafs today, but switching to another authentic Qira'ah is perfectly valid.

The "confusion" portrayed is satirical exaggeration, there's no genuine doubt among scholars that all these are the one Qur'ān, perfectly preserved in its authentic forms.

Take every attack they throw against Islam as an opportunity to teach Muslims about Islam. In a way, they are helping to spread Islam but they do not know it because they are not different from the beasts, unable to think, research or see things properly. In fact, they are even more astray than the breasts.

Sometimes I think my brother is our own kind of Forrest Gump. He was born breech, his delivery was sort of delayed and that caused him developmental problems. Slow learner they said. Stuttering badly. Always lost in his own world. Got bullied physically and mentally at school despite our father was a teacher at the school.

On his 10th attempt of repeating SPM, he told mum it could be his last attempt. On multiple occasions, he cried.

That led him to another two attempt of STPM. Led him to successfully graduated with a degree. Then another with DPLI. Meanwhile, he did oddjobs; being a guard at the hospital, schools, old folks home and helping our father at the paddy field.

On the day of his interview, he was asked about his OKU card at the end of the session. He admitted having it for being a slow learner; OKU pembelajaran. The moment he stepped out of the interview room, he went to our mother, and cried, probably out of relief, or from feeling like he was near the end of his long fight. And today is the day he is officially a teacher at a school. And he’s starting his life fresh and anew, at the age of 37.

He is still him, the older brother I’ve known since we were small. Still being as he is, just like how Forrest Gump was at the end of the movie. Still him, but he created history through perseverance and grit, straight from his own life.

It’s true that he received great support from our mother, father and all of us siblings. But one fact in life is that you can’t help a person if the person doesn’t want to be helped, even if the whole world lends a hand. But in this case, he helped himself, hence he got helped.

All the best to this new chapter, this new endeavour at the new place. We will always be there for him, through and through, as long as he is through and through with himself, as he always has been.

All the best Ed! Kijo molek!

there are cases of people killing their own babies. this is why muslims must avoid zina at all costs. “safe sex” education, as promoted in secular contexts, is not aligned with our values, and not everyone truly understands its consequences.

Bak kata @AymanRashdanW, kita ada dua pilihan:

1. Layan dia macam penjenayah perang. Turun kapal terbang je, kita bagi layanan ala kadar. Tak ada karpet merah bagai.

2. Kita buat macam cara kita sambut ketua negara.

Kita kecam Amerika dalam isu Gaza, tapi kita masih ada hubungan diplomatik.

Bentang karpet merah sebahagian daripada protokol menyambut ketua negara asing.

Kalau kita buat cara pertama, kita dapat tonjolkan pendirian kita. Negara lain dan media asing mungkin puji kita untuk beberapa hari.

Tapi kesannya, Trump bad mood dari pagi sampai malam. Trump seorang yg ego. Orang ego tak rasa diri bersalah. Tegur macam mana pun, dia akan rasa orang nak jatuhkan dia, nak rosakkan hidup dia.

Macam-macam cara dia boleh "hukum" Malaysia, malah ASEAN sekali.

Dan adakah negara asing akan tolong kita masa tu?

Kita mungkin rasa puas sebab dapat tonjolkan pendirian, tapi adakah nasib rakyat Gaza akan berubah? Adakah kita dapat persetujuan negara ASEAN lain untuk buat benda itu?

Kalau kita sambut cara kedua, kita buat Trump gembira walaupun tak berprinsip bagi sesetengah orang. Malaysia dan ASEAN nampak cantik di mata dia.

Tak jamin dapat pelbagai manfaat. Tapi paling tidak takkan dapat layanan tak munasabah.

Semua orang tak suka Trump. Tapi kena fikir kepentingan yg lebih besar.

'unable to identify them due to the extensive mutilation and disfigurement inflicted upon them while in "israeli" captivity.'

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

Funeral prayer was just performed for over 40 unidentified victims, whose bodies were recently handed over by Israel as part of the exchange deal.

The families of the victims were unable to identify them due to the extensive mutilation and disfigurement inflicted upon them while in Israeli captivity.

Why doesn't the media talk about Sudan?

Sudan is bleeding. Sudan's war has set off the world's largest hunger crisis, as the fighting continues to devastate lives and livelihoods.

Notice how "Azrul" didnt mention the Sunday sermon in churches, gatherings for thaipusm, or hundreds of other speeches or gatherings but chooses to focus on khutbah jumaat.
