Not all battles are fought for victory.

Some are fought simply to tell the world that someone was there on the battlefield.

[Ayatollah Sayyid Jawad Naqvi @AytSJNEng]

If Iran bows down, the war may come to an end
but this is Karbala, where surrender is a crime.
This entire battle is about allegiance.
Iran, may God be with you 🇮🇷

“The utmost our enemy can do is kill us; the utmost we aspire to is to be killed in the path of God.”

Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

"And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision."

Surah Aal-E-Imran (169)

The way Iran has stood its ground in the face of Israel and the United States is genuinely commendable. Despite lacking a powerful air force or a formidable military, it is the courage and resilience of the Iranian people that have repeatedly forced America to think twice about whether to attack Iran or not.

But when a country’s military becomes compromised, when fear of death and insecurity take root in their minds, and when political parties are effectively on the payroll of American agencies, the outcome is predictable. The same thing happens that happened to Venezuelan President Maduro.

Today’s attacks in Balochistan should serve as a wake up call to those, including in the White House, keen to invest in Pakistan’s critical mineral reserves. Many are in BN-including areas hit today. One of the BLA’s core grievances is external exploitation of local resources.

[Asad Ali Shah @Asad_Ashah]

Pakistan’s economic paradox: decline moves faster than reform.

This clip captures the heart of our economic crisis. When large segments of industry are collapsing at speed, marginal policy tweaks — a small cut in electricity tariffs or interest rates — barely register. A 1–2% cost relief cannot offset years of distorted incentives, high input costs, weak productivity, and lost competitiveness.

The problem is not intent — it is the absence of bold reform and an incremental approach in the face of a deep structural crisis.

While businesses are shutting down, exports remain confined to low-value commodities and continue to shrink, and private investment has plunged, our response remains slow, cautious, and piecemeal. The economy is falling faster than reforms are being rolled out.

Competitiveness will not be restored through symbolic adjustments. It requires:
• Deep incentive reforms
• Meaningful cost reductions
• Stable and predictable policies
• Reforms that unleash private investment
• Policies that allow productive firms to scale and inefficient ones to exit

When decline is rapid and reform is timid, the gap only widens.

Pakistan does not need marginal relief.
It needs bold, comprehensive, and fast structural reform.

Until the speed and depth of reforms overtake the speed of economic decline, we will continue on a path of gradual decline instead of growth.

Size, scale & synchronicity of terrorists audacious attacks across length & breadth of Balochistan mark both inflection point in Insurgency + monumental security failure! Time to review & revise flawed & failed approach that has abysmally failed to protect people of Balochistan

[Dr. Brahma Chellaney @Chellaney]

Iran may be at its weakest moment since 1979. Yet, defying Trump’s attempt to coerce it into accepting his demands, Tehran insists it will not negotiate with Washington while the U.S. openly threatens military attack.

Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran has reached a fever pitch, but the core of Iran’s defense strategy remains largely intact — and deliberately so.

Despite Trump’s claim that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites last June “obliterated” Tehran’s nuclear capability, his insistence now on a permanent ban on enrichment suggests otherwise. If Iran’s nuclear capacity were truly eliminated, such demands would be unnecessary.

Lacking a modern air force, Iran relies on ballistic missiles as its primary deterrent. By pressing Tehran to accept limits on its missiles, Trump is effectively seeking to strip Iran of its ability to retaliate, leaving it far more exposed to coercion or attack. Without that capability, Iran would lose its leverage to threaten regional bases or adversaries in response to aggression.

The bottom line: This is a high-stakes game of chicken. Trump is betting that Iran’s internal fragility will compel capitulation; Tehran is betting that its remaining leverage — missiles and nuclear “know-how” — is the only thing standing between the Iranian regime and the fate of Venezuela’s leadership.

Until Economy is liberated from stifling bureaucratic controls, corruption & cronyism & confidence restored first among Pakistan’s own investors, plus Healing Touch for Political Stability, Pakistan’s diplomatic & military successes will NOT be matched by an Economic Revival!

One day, you’ll look back and realize how much you worried for nothing. All the nights you spent overthinking, all the fears that kept your heart restless, and all the questions that had no answers at the time.

Allah was already arranging everything quietly, in ways you could not see. He was working on things far better than what you had imagined or hoped for. What felt like delay was actually preparation, and what felt like loss was part of a bigger plan.

That day will come when your heart finally understands that trusting Him was always enough.

As China increasingly weaponizes its control over rare-earth supplies, India has been searching for alternative suppliers. Yet it has made no effort to import heavy rare earth elements from resource-rich but sanctions-hit Myanmar, allowing China to turn that country into its main external source of supply of such raw minerals to underpin Chinese dominance over global rare-earth supply chains. https://t.co/bntBXnRzMR

The US can never bear a true democracy in any Muslim-majority country.

Muslims en masse can never cheer for the US, especially those Muslims who have seen US madness since 2000.

[Fatima Saleh @Meenerl4]

The delay of Rizq is a form of Rizq.

When Allah doesn't give you something you want, you pray more, you develop more gratitude, you recite more Quran, you make more dhikr, you stand more in tahajjud, you shed tears infront of Allah, your eeman and tawakkul increase, your sabr increases.

All this is a better rizq (getting closer to and depending more on Allah through acts of worship) than the rizq you are asking Allah for, which is usually money.

[• @Al__Quraan]

Allah delayed something in your life, only to have this sincere state of heart from you, so that He Can open up the doors for you. Trust Allah because, Tawakkul opens doors to Miracles which are beyond our imagination. And there's no door that Allah can't open.
