Most people don't know that Bahadur Shah Zafar wasn't the only Mughal emperor to write poetry in Urdu. Shah Alam II also composed verses under the Takhallus (pen name) Aftab.
"Ghar ghair ke jo yaar mera raat se gaya,
Ji seene se nikal gaya, dil haath se gaya."
Mughal Shah Alam II, Takhallus 'Aftab',

“Do not be intoxicated by your wealth, your purse, or your rank.
It is not like the drunkenness of (spiritual) wine—
you will come to your senses upon the washing board of the dead.”

A thief stole the turban of al-Nawawī and ran away. Al-Nawawī ran after him, shouting:
“I have gifted it to you; say: ‘I accept!’”
[Al-Manhal al-ʿAḏb].
He did not want the thief to incur the sin of theft, so, out of concern for him, he chose to gift the turban to him instead.
See that man in the first frame blowing up buildings in Gaza?
His name is Eitan Gilboa, an IDF soldier accused of war crimes.
After Gaza, he came to India on holiday.
But Eitan made one mistake: he posted photos from Himachal on social media.
The Hind Rajab Foundation caught it immediately and passed it on to a young Indian lawyer. She identified where Eitan was holidaying, then filed complaints with the local police and the Indian government.
The Hind Rajab Foundation claims Eitan left India soon after.

According to al-Khidr, may Allāh’s peace be upon him, “Three
hundred are the saints [Awliya], seventy are the nobles stars [Nujaba], forty are the pillars [Awtad] of the earth, ten are the captains [Nuqaba], seven are the hearts [Murafa], three are the chosen ones [Muhtar], and one is the Ghawth.”
On a wall in the Ulu Mosque in Bursa, there is Kufic calligraphy featuring nested و’s:
1. And to Allah belongs (all) honour,
2. And to His Messenger,
3. And to the believers
4. And (but)
the Hypocrites do not know.
1st و (of Allah) is all encompassing,
2nd و associated with The Messenger ﷺ
encompasses The Believers
3rd و is for The Believers
4th و the smallest, follows after that but The Hypocrites are presented outside of The Messenger and The Believers, indicating that they’re among us yet not part of us.
#BREAKING Election duty officers move Supreme Court saying they themselves are not on West Bengal #SIR List
Se Adv MR Shamshad: These are 65 petitioners who are on election duty. Their duty orders mention EPIC numbers. Now those numbers are deleted. Now the persons conducting elections cannot vote ! This is on the face arbitrary. Many not given reasons.
CJI: Make these arguments before the appellate tribunal. Let the tribunal look into it
Justice Bagchi: Appropriate orders will be passed by the tribunal .. this election yes perhaps they can't vote. The more valuable right to remain on the rolls shall be preserved.
