I visited a $50 million Canadian masjid yesterday.
Toronto's Ontario Line, a $34 billion transit project, needed the land under the Islamic Society of Toronto's mosque for a train yard, a station, and the towers rising around it.
Before agreeing to move, the masjid set one condition: the old building stays open until the new one is finished and running.
Not one prayer missed.
They then spent the money right:
→ State-of-the-art gym
→ Madrasas & library
→ Investment properties that will generate revenue and replace donations
As I'm working on building the financial infrastructure for Muslim wealth, it's inspiring to see existing institutions thinking far ahead in achieving this for their community. The future of Islam in the West depends on it.
A few months ago, Palestinians had all their Binance accounts frozen at the request of Israel and had their data shared with the IDF - leading to targeted strikes on homes
Their appeals? All denied
Their funds? Still frozen
This wasn't a targeted freeze
This was blanket financial surveillance turned into a weapon
When you don't truly own your money, it becomes a tool for control
Against every value that crypto holds
This is why we're building Amanah on self-custody:
• Your money stays yours
• No one can freeze your funds, even if they want to
The choice is simple: keep your wealth in systems they control, or own it yourself
More to come on this soon.
In today's @AZCardinals victory, Kyler Murray (@K1) became the 2nd player in @NFL history with 250+ passing yards, 50+ rushing yards and a 158.3 passer rating - the highest attainable mark - in a single game.
He joins Ken Anderson, who accomplished the feat on Nov. 3, 1974.
Entering the middle of Ramadan, many people confront what might be called monotonous routinisation.
The early Ramadan "excitement" fades. You are just going through the motions. The mind wanders in prayer. Worship seems dull. You slow down.
Here is some advice:
Q: What happens when a madhab ruling is the opposite of a hadith?
A: When this happens, the imam has a stronger evidence. For example a stronger hadith or Quranic verse that you may not be aware of.
Or that it was abrogated by a later action from the Prophet ﷺ.
Or that the Companions and next generation acted differently, hence the hadith was deemed an exception.
Or that the narrator acted differently from what he narrated and hence the imam deemed the hadith an exception to the rule, not the rule itself.
