The people are waking up الحمد لله and I say it openly. May Allah cure those who exploit zakat and Sadaqah through Talmudic loopholes. Amen.

We won’t fear the blame of those who blame us and won’t be fooled by selective transparency and performative dawah. Any questions or requests aren’t a crime and we’ll keep you on your toes 😂

I held off sharing this for nearly six years due to maslahah. I’m sorry, but the straw has broken the camel’s back. Menk behaves hypocritically and does not carry out his due diligence. This audio clearly shows what I believe is his deceptive nature. Menk was defending Hasanat religiously, even arguing that it was fake when it clearly wasn’t. He supported him not based on truth, but because of bias and his relationship with them.

They were living a double life, and it was a shock to us when the story broke here in the UK. Menk even went so far as to say: “I stand fully in support of yourself and Umm Abdullah,” “It’s rubbish,” “Allah will grant you victory,” and “Can we get some legal teams?”

You can understand my directness and lack of filters now. You can argue, “Hajji, it’s the wrong time to release this,” but I cannot stand hypocrisy and fake religiosity. It’s déjà vu all over again, with him defending @lilyjayofficial through an overuse of husn al-dhan and the “seventy excuses” principle. I won’t allow him to provide justifications for fraudsters again and potentially mislead the ummah regarding their wealth.

Muslims, you’ve fallen so low that transparency has become reduced to videos. This is how bad the sector has become. They’ll never provide complete transparency and documentation because they’re not fit to carry the heavy burden of the ummah’s amanah. They get an allergic reaction and hypothetical epileptic fits when this is demanded.

This grifter can’t even confirm a ballpoint figure for how much she has raised, because she doesn’t want you to know. It’s a massive grift for these mercenaries.

I don’t want to even get into why she can’t provide location details of her projects. It’s clear to anyone with common sense that she grifted and her refusal to provide any genuine transparency confirms that this deceiver took everyone for a ride.

@TheMumMuslim, this isn’t satisfactory from a shariah perspective. If you care about the wealth of the ummah, you’d issue a statement or create a video condemning this grifter. We were patient and this is her response. I don’t expect anything from Ali Drama @AliDawow he is ignorant and stubborn, but I have high expectations from you. You can’t be gullible or weak-hearted. I say with full conviction that she’s a grifter and I stand before Allah with this.

Australian Muslim social media influencer Lily Jay has been radio silent since she was embroiled in an "AI manipulation scandal" following an ABC News investigation into the Lily Jay Foundation and the content she produces online.

Jay is yet to respond to the allegations as speculation mounts on social media.

[Bro Hajji @BroHajji]

THE LILY JAY FILES | CHARITY SCAM? | AI MANIPULATION OR NOT? | TRANSPARE... https://t.co/iJgJiXnqg5 via @YouTube

The Lily Jay Foundation registered its first ABN in 2025, but at the bottom of the foundation's website is the admission that it is not an actual charity.

"Lily Jay Foundation is a next-generation social enterprise and high-speed humanitarian logistics firm executing rapid aid deployment in global crisis zones," it read.

"To maintain absolute speed and independence, we operate as a private commercial structure funded by voluntary project sponsorships, which fuel our high-speed supply chain and are currently not tax-deductible."

Mr Costello said generally speaking an organisation's unregistered charity status could raise significant concerns. He said the formalities around registered charity status existed for a reason.

"It is required under statutory law to declare all receipts of money and expenditure of money so the public can have confidence in that when they give."

It is unclear how much money has been donated to the Lily Jay Foundation since it began, and there is no transparency about exactly how and where it has been spent.

@lilyjayofficial @Deenresponds

[Bro Hajji @BroHajji]

Online pile-ons” is overdramatising what is happening, my friend. The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming and continues to mount. Lilly Jay’s charity is not a registered charity in Australia, so the donations she has received have no apparent mechanism for independent auditing. Nor has she provided any breakdown of income and expenditure.

We do not need a pacifist approach to matters such as this. We need to take a firm stance and demand full transparency, with complete disclosure of the income and expenditure relating to donations raised for Gaza. It is also noteworthy that her foundation was established during the Gaza genocide.

I was in Egypt supporting Palestinian refugees from Gaza who had escaped during the genocide, and I became familiar with witness statements alleging abuse by some charities, including claims that they were making substantial margins from aid convoys something we now see far fewer fundraising appeals for, rather strangely. Circumstantial evidence is permitted under Shariah.

This is not her first controversy. She and her husband were arrested in 2023 in connection with allegations of fraud. We are not gullible, and there is a serious issue that must be addressed. The solution is complete transparency through the publication of receipts, bank statements, and a full financial account of donations received and how they were spent.

As we can see from Lilly Jay’s case, AI was allegedly used to deceive people and solicit donations. I ask Allah to humiliate these mercenaries in this world and in the Hereafter. آمين.

This keeps the focus on advocating for transparency and accountability while avoiding language that could be interpreted as encouraging unlawful or harmful action.

Lily Jay is now deleting content from her social media platforms, covering her tracks or “scorching the earth” like Hamza Myatt from @hamza_den did when confronted about his GoFundMe for Ramadan 2025. @AbdullaAndalusi, however, refuses to release his report on it. He is to busy basking in the glory of his ‘victory’ over Tommy Robinson. The wealth of the ummah is not much of a concern to him, even though he set up hisbah to deal with this issue publicly. It all was a charade. He needs to go back and read Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah instead of engrossing in debates.

Lily Jay and Hamza Myatt also copy-struck other channels that exposed their inconsistencies. This isn’t the behaviour of honest individuals.

As Muslims, we need to learn pattern recognition especially concerning the wealth of the Ummah and those who refuse to be transparent when questioned.

Who Was Responsible for the Killing of al-Ḥusayn?

It is ridiculous to find some trying to minimize the Umayyad role in the killing of al-Ḥusayn when it was acknowledged by the Caliph ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān (r. 65-86) himself.

The prolific scholar Ibn Abī Dunyā (d. 281) reports with his chain: ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān used to write to (his governor) al-Ḥajjāj: “Keep me away from the blood of the Banī ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib for I saw the Banī Ḥarb shedding it thus they were not given respite (i.e. their kingdom was taken away from them)”

Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728) accepted this report in his Minhāj al-Sunna. He writes: “This lie is akin to the lie of the one who says ‘al-Ḥajjāj killed the ashrāf (descendants of the Prophet)’ whereas al-Ḥajjāj did not kill anyone from the Banī Hāshim despite his oppression and murder of many other than them. Instead he killed many of the Arab nobility. ʿAbd al-Malik had sent (a letter) to him that he should not kill anyone from the Banī Hāshim and noted how when al-Ḥusayn was killed during the rule of the Banī Ḥarb, that is the rule of Yazīd, evil had befallen them, so ʿAbd al-Malik took lesson from that and forbade him from killing anyone from among the Banī Hāshim …”

Notes: Ḥarb is the name of Abū Sufyān’s father and the allusion here is to Yazīd and how this branch of the Umayyads soon lost the throne after al-Ḥusayn’s killing.
Ibn Taymiyya obfuscates when he speaks of al-Ḥusayn being killed “in the rule of Yazīd” thereby shifting direct responsibility whereas ʿAbd al-Malik’s original words are much more direct when he refers to the “Banī Ḥarb shedding it (aṣābūhā)”

References: Al-Ishrāf fī Manāzil al-Ashrāf (ed. Maktabat al-Rushd), p. 255, n. 321; Minhāj al-Sunna al-Nabawiyya (ed. Muḥammad Rashād Sālim), v. 8, p. 105.

[Imam Zayd Institute @ImamZayd]

then he claims: ‘This is Allaah’s judgement, then this person is a disbeliever, just as the children of Israel disbelieved when they did that

[Imam Zayd Institute @ImamZayd]

Al-Jassas when he said:
“The reference is to rejecting Allaah’s judgement, or judging with other than that, while being informed of what Allaah’s judgement is.  This is the kufr that removes one from the religion, its doer is an apostate, even if he was a Muslim before ...

[Imam Zayd Institute @ImamZayd]

that.  In this way it has been explained by those who said: ‘It was revealed for the children of Israel and it applies to us.’  They mean that whoever rejects Allaah’s judgements, or judges by other than Allaah’s judgements, ....

Ahmad ibn Hanbal ر said “For me the opinion of Abū Hanīfah and animal dung, are the same.”

Kitab as Sunnah, pic below for full chain. From his own son.

I think it's safe to ignore what Abu Hanifa said, assuming this quote of Abu Hanifa even has a good chain.

[Imam Zayd Institute @ImamZayd]

Therefore, Ibn Hazm observes that saying that we should not fight against him is against the very foundation of Islam.

[Imam Zayd Institute @ImamZayd]

Ibn Hazmasks for an example. Suppose there is a ruler. He takes Jews and Christians as his allies; taxes Muslims; kills Muslims, including children; humiliates women; and seizes their wealth and family. While doing all this, he claims to be a Muslim and continues to pray withou..

[Imam Zayd Institute @ImamZayd]

abandoning it. Can we fight against him? If someone says that we should not fight against such a ruler, what will be the result? If we leave him alone, everyone will be destroyed. In the end, only he and his followers will remain.
