The Great Umayyad Mosque in Damascus is a pearl of the Muslim world, where legendary scholars like Al-Ghazali, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Ibn Arabi once resided. A beacon of Islamic learning and spiritual heritage.

Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr was connected to the household of the Prophet ﷺ through his marriage to Sayyidah Sukayna bint al-Husayn (عليها السلام), the granddaughter of Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام).

[Ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Hāshimī @hashimiyy_]

ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr asked ʿAbd al-Malik to return to him the sword of his brother, Muṣʿab ibn al-Zubayr.

The sword had originally belonged to their father, and Muṣʿab had inherited it from him.

ʿAbd al-Malik then brought out several unsheathed swords and presented them to him.

ʿUrwah immediately recognized his father's sword and took it from among them.

ʿAbd al-Malik asked him, “How did you recognize it?”

He replied, “By a notch that was made in its blade on the Day of Badr.”

He then cited the verse of the poet al-Nābighah:

“There is no fault in them, save that their swords
Bear notches from clashing with the ranks of armies.”

[Wafayāt al-Aʿyān, by Ibn Khallikān]

In 1970, Romania gathered 10,000 actual soldiers, dressed them as Ottoman warriors, and created one of the largest military marches ever captured on film.

Still more impressive than most modern CGI movies.

The Muslim scholar and sociologist Ibn Khaldun classified Abu Kamil as the second greatest algebraist chronologically after al-Khwarizmi.

Meet the Muslim mathematician whose algebraic methods were adopted by Leonardo Fibonacci and helped shape the development of algebra.

Abu Kamil (Auoquamel) (c. 930), an Egyptian Muslim mathematician, helped take algebra far beyond the foundations laid by al-Khwārizmī.

5) His influence extended beyond the Islamic world. Leonardo Fibonacci drew extensively upon Abu Kamil's mathematical methods and incorporated them into his own writings, helping transmit these ideas into Latin Europe.

4) Abu Kamil wrote his problems rhetorically, using words rather than the symbolic notation familiar to us today.

For instance, he used the Arabic expression "square-square-thing" to represent what we would write as (x^5).

Never abandon your salah, hold firmly to it, especially in your youth.

“al-salah, al-salah”

Among the final words of our beloved Prophet ﷺ.

[Islamic Scientific Heritage @IslamicSH_]

"Do you call upon Baa’l and abandon the Best of Creators"

— Qur'an [37 : 125]

“Then God raised up against them the sons of Ishmael, numerous as the sand on the seashore. Neither walls nor gates, armour or shield withstood them, and they gained dominion over the entire land of the Persians.”

— Chronicle of Khuzistan, 7th CE

[ARISTOTELES @platonchacal]

Érase una vez una nación Ilamada Persia
Dieron refugio a 4.000 musulmanes
100 años después, todos los parsis habían sido
exterminados
Hoy esa nación es Irán.
Solo pensé que deberías saberlo

The five daily prayers should always remain at the centre of our lives. They preserve our deen, protect us from evil, and draw us closer to the Divine Presence.

No matter what occupies our day, nothing should take precedence over salah.
