Congratulations to Spain for winning the Fifa world cup.

I have not watched a single game. 😅😅😅
Football? not my cup of tee.

"These two were the only survivors of the bombing of an entire residential tower that had been sheltering displaced families. They alone emerged into this cruel world, while 87 people, including members of their own families, were killed. Some remain beneath the rubble to this very day.

A single wall in their ground-floor room spared the lives of these newlyweds. Above them, the tower collapsed, burying everyone they loved, literally, not metaphorically.

I don't know what they felt in that moment. I don't think any language has a word for such a feeling. How does a human being comprehend that, in the space of a single instant, everyone they have ever known is gone, and they are left utterly alone in this world?

This haunting scene, worthy of an enduring work of art, was documented by the late journalist Anas Al-Sharif and photographer Aboud Abu Salama in December 2023 at Al-Ahli Hospital, after an entire residential tower in Gaza City's Al-Daraj neighborhood was bombed.

No one knows where life took them afterward, or how they carried on. But one thing is certain: this moment will never leave them. Love is not measured by what we say, it is measured by what remains when everything else has collapsed.

As for this wretched world, complicit with the killer, it continues, even now, to erase everything: the names, the faces, the stories, even memory itself. Yet it will never erase the truth. Even if every one of us were hanged on the gallows of history, we would write that truth upon our own bodies.

No one should ever forget:

The partnership of Netanyahu 🇮🇱; Trump 🇺🇸 & Starmer 🇬🇧 did this

It’s apocalyptic

IRANIAN PRESIDENT: “If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young. They speak of human rights. It is a great lie.”

It’s a hard truth to hear, but it’s true.

🇮🇱 Doctors and nurses captured in Israeli prison systems were brutally beaten and tortured.

Their crime: keeping people alive.

If this becomes normalized in war zones, the entire framework of protected persons under international law collapses.

Syria میں زلزلے کے ملبے تلے 36 گھنٹے گزارنے کے بعد جب امدادی کارکنوں نے بچوں کو باہر نکالا، تو ننھی بچی اپنے بھائی کو ڈھال بن کر بچاتی نظر آئی۔
یہ منظر محبت، ہمت اور بہن بھائی کے انمول رشتے کی ایسی تصویر تھا جس نے ہر دل کو نرم کر دیا

A mother looking at her entire family, all of whom were martyred.
All I want is for you to understand the depth of what she was feeling in that moment, as she sat there silently, staring at them wrapped in shrouds before her.

[Turgay Evren @TurgayEvren1]

The entire muslim ummah must pay attention to the speech of Selçuk Bayraktar, who is the father of Turkish drone technology, and contemplate on it to find the path it should take:

“The greatest threat to our independence is not the conventional armies massed at our borders.

It is the techno-capitalist global domination infiltrating our supply chains, our data centers, and the devices in our pockets.

This domination does not arrive through brute force like the dictatorships of the past.

It enters our lives as a form of ‘voluntary slavery,’ through a system that addicts billions of people like a narcotic.

I am not only speaking of machines imitating humans; we are moving toward a dark age in which humans themselves are rapidly becoming machine-like.

Al-Khwarizmi, Ibn Sina, Newton, and Einstein all possessed the same miraculous human brain that we do — not soulless data centers consuming terawatts of energy.

Against the threats of the coming quantum age, we must begin building our shields today, equipping our communication networks with quantum-resistant encryption algorithms and constructing autonomous national architectures that global monopolies cannot penetrate.

This generation is one that cuts its own path, says ‘We can achieve the very best,’ and has shattered its mental chains — a noble generation of freedom.

The truth is this: the key to the future does not lie in the dark lines written by others, but in the will engraved into our hearts by the Architect of the universe, and in the magnificent secret of being united as one.”

This paragraph by C.S. Lewis hits so hard:

“Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.”

Major cheat code for life: Learn to delay your reaction. Anger, fear, and impulse will try to make you move fast. There's power in pausing. In the pause, you see clearly, you respond wisely, and you avoid decisions you’ll regret. Slow down to speed up.

When 12 people were killed in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March

But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing 2000 civilians, ~200 children, ~300 women, 7 journalists, 178 health workers, and 3 UN peacekeepers in Lebanon
