Allah was when there was no place or time
And He is now as He has always been
كان و لا مكان و هو على ما عليه كان
اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم
Futuwwah is Generosity, Trustworthiness…
Meaning youth and chivalry, Futuwwah, as a term, is a composite of virtues such as generosity, munificence, modesty, chastity, trustworthiness, loyalty, mercifulness, knowledge, humility and piety, and it is…

This Island deal of Kushner’s is far worse then I ever suspected. This is a fortified military installation with its own bunker city. This is not a resort.
If a blonde-haired, blue-eyed child were trapped under rubble, starving, displaced, or watching their family be slaughtered, the world would move mountains to change their condition.
Governments would act. Media coverage would be relentless. Public outrage would be deafening.
So why is it different when those children are Palestinian, Congolese, Sudanese, Yemeni, or Rohingya?
We have been conditioned by generations of media narratives that humanise white lives and dehumanise Black and Brown lives.
We are taught whose tears matter, whose innocence is protected, and whose deaths are treated as condemnable versus as inevitable background noise.
The result is a hierarchy of human worth.
A world where some children are seen as worthy of rescue, while others are expected to endure bombs, famine, occupation, displacement, and genocide with little more than fleeting headlines and empty statements.
The question is not whether these children deserve saving. They do.
The question is why so many of us have been taught to see their suffering as normal.
Until we confront the racism embedded in our media, politics, and collective consciousness, we will continue to live in a world where empathy is rationed along racial lines.
Every child is precious. Every life is sacred. And none of us should accept a world that treats some lives as more grievable than others.
Palestinian woman in the West Bank is arrested by Israeli police under a new terror law that outlaws passive social media use because she shows sympathy to what’s happening in Gaza.
She may spend up to 1 year in prison. Israel is a deeply depraved society.
Activist exposes Israeli soldiers in Germany
An activist documented the presence of Israeli occupation soldiers and a football team at a hotel in Düsseldorf, Germany, invited under the pretext of participating in a tournament for “friendship and humanity.”
"It brings me no pleasure to compare what Israel is doing to what the Nazis did, but how can we not? When you have things like ghettos, starvation, concentration camps and planned systematic extermination of people"

"The purified Ṣūfīs possess the most subtle insights, the most sanctified secrets, the soundest thoughts, are most occupied with their Lord inwardly and outwardly, remember Him by night and by day, are the most obedient in submission, the truest in belief, the most sincere in intention in His obedience, the most reflective concerning His affair, the firmest in faith, the strongest in passionate love, the most diligent in seeking Him, and the most earnest in calling upon Him in fear and hope.
Therefore, there is no doubt that what they believe and affirm is secure from error, and most worthy of acceptance and faith. It is not to be imagined regarding these noble and eminent men that they would hold a belief contrary to Islam and the religious community, nor that it would oppose what is required by sound reason and decisive proofs."
~ Allama Fazle Haq Khayrabadi
American journalists once made up a fictitious "Palestinian PLO leader" in Lebanon out of thin air, called him "Abu Rashid", & turned him into "the most quoted PLO commander in the entire middle east", b/c they couldn't/didn't want to interview real PLO leaders
Philip Caputo revealed this 3 decades later
Imagine how many "Abu Rashids" are widely quoted in mainstream media today!
@safwanSpiker7 >they were the ones who created the human rights ideology—yet alone so-called human rights.
>yet alone?
Please clarify, this last part of the sentence is a questionmark for me.
Imam Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani (رح) writes,
Al-Kirmani said regarding the phrase 'in the heaven' (fi al-sama): "Its apparent meaning is not intended, For Allah is exalted above dwelling in a makan (place). However, since the direction of Uluww (above) is more noble that others, it was attributed to Him as an indication of the loftiness of His essence and attributes."

Still, Minab – Episode 4: The Second Explosion
This episode stays with me to this day, in ways I am still learning how to hold. It reveals a different architecture of life/one that stands in stark contrast to the logic of capitalist imperialism, and offers another measure of what it means to be human.
Children were not the only victim of Minab's massacre. This episode is centered on Ahmad Salari, a 40-year old father who entered the school after the first strike, found his daughter, carried her out alive, and then returned to save other children. Witnesses unanimously testified that the school was struck three times within minutes. Ahmad was killed in the second explosion.
Agha Ghasem, Ahmad's father, as he was trying to hold back his tears, looked me in the eye and said, “May God accept our Ahmad.”
The principle of sacrifice is what distinguishes a revolutionary society from settler colonial societies rooted in genocide and shaped primarily by material comfort and self-preservation. A society unwilling to sacrifice cannot meaningfully challenge injustice, no matter how clearly it recognizes it.
The erosion of sacrifice has contributed to a political culture in which the West’s criminal leaders are not held accountable for the suffering inflicted in and beyond their borders. The peoples of the Global South have too often paid for that failure, in blood and in life.
Where societies are conditioned to prioritize material comfort over sacrifice, and consumption over solidarity, even live-stream genocide can become normalized. This is especially true where populations materially benefit from systems of domination, dispossession, and war carried out by their governments.
Here, then, we come to an even deeper realization of what is at stake in the resistance to the US-Zionist death machine. Against the false world centered on profit, fear, and cowardice, a true world centered on solidarity, love, and sacrifice struggles for victory.
Ahmad, picked up this struggle from those who came before him and carried it forward for those who will come after, sacrificing his life for a liberated future that was not for him to see.
This episode is dedicated to those who sacrifice for these larger truths. To Ahmad, to Agha Ghasem, to all Iranian men, fathers, and grandfathers, who, across time and space, have sacrificed for truth and liberation.

IRGC just now: The Zionist regime, with the support of America and in violation of the ceasefire, is committing war crimes using banned weapons. We had previously warned that as the aggression continues, we will respond to the Zionist regime, and we have struck the north of the occupied land. And if they respond, they will be met with an even more crushing response.
My latest on @AJEnglish about tonight’s Iran strike on Israel:
• Iran did what Lebanon’s own government refused to do: defend Lebanon from Israeli bombs
• The Lebanese government condemns Iran while allying with the Americans who arm and coordinate Israel’s strikes on Beirut
• The anti-Hezbollah camp is using Israeli military force to achieve what they can’t win democratically (Hezbollah is Lebanon’s largest elected parliamentary bloc)
• Tonight we find out if Trump has the political will to actually put a leash on Israel
A reminder: At this moment, the Israeli regime is continuing its genocide in Palestine with murderous attacks on civilians in Gaza and bloody pogroms in the West Bank, abusing thousands of Palestinian hostages in dungeons and torture camps, perpetrating the crime of apartheid, bombing Lebanese villages and towns, unlawfully occupying Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, openly celebrating the regime’s pirating, torture, and sexual assault of crew from the humanitarian flotilla, preparing for further aggression and war crimes in Iran, corrupting Western governments, and persecuting human rights defenders through regime proxies across the globe. Do not let complicit media corporations erase these realities, distract you, or weaken your resolve to fight this evil. The threat is spreading and the moment is urgent.
Das ist kein Luxusresort. Sazan – die albanische Insel an der Straße von Otranto – ist das maritime Tor zwischen Adria und Mittelmeer.
3.600 atomsichere Bunker. 15 Kilometer Tunnel. Ehemalige sowjetische U-Boot-Anlegestellen.
Die Insel kontrolliert wer die Adria kontrolliert. Und wer kauft sie?
Kushners Affinity Partners – finanziert zu 99 Prozent von Saudi-Arabien, UAE und Katar.
157 Millionen Dollar Gebühren von ausländischen Staatsfonds.
Das bestätigt der US-Finanzausschuss unter Senator Wyden.
Und wer leitet das Team? Kein einziger Hotelmanager. Ausschließlich Ex-Geheimdienstler und Ex-Regierungsbeamte der Trump-Administration. General Miguel Correa – ehemaliger Direktor für Golfangelegenheiten im Nationalen Sicherheitsrat. Mitarchitekt der Abraham-Accords.
Kevin Hassett – ehemaliger Vorsitzender des Wirtschaftsberaterstabs im Weißen Haus.
Chad Mizelle – ehemaliger amtierender Chefsyndikus des Heimatschutzministeriums. John Rader – ehemaliger Nationaler Sicherheitsrat. Nick Butterfield – ehemaliger stellvertretender Koordinator für Politik im Weißen Haus.
Senator Wyden: Die Anwesenheit von General Correa „wirft Bedenken hinsichtlich der Emoluments-Klausel der Verfassung auf."
Das ist kein Resort. Das ist eine geopolitische Operation – finanziert von Golfstaaten – auf einer ehemaligen sowjetischen Militärbasis – im Herzen Europas. 🇦🇱🇸🇦🇦🇪🇶🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺
Naively sharing fake news such as “Islam is the fastest-growing religion in Japan”, a claim that contributes nothing to understanding Japanese society and serves only to generate noise, while responding to doubts or criticisms directed at us with dramatic victimhood rhetoric is, at the very least, not a sign of intellectual maturity.
Not only does Shaykh Ibn al-'Arabi (ق) condemn the Sufi practice of Samā' in the introduction to his 'Ruh al-Quds', he also does in his 'Taj al-Tarajum':
A Subtlety (Laṭīfah): 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐜𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐬𝐚𝐦ā‘) 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 (𝐰𝐚𝐣𝐝) 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐩𝐨𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 (al-Ḥaqq), for they have eaten of that over which the name of God has not been mentioned. “So eat of that over which the name of God has been mentioned” [Qur'an 6:118], “while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you” [Qur'an 6:119]. And since rapture calls for a descent, it appears in the verse: “And indeed, the devils inspire their allies” [Qur'an 6:121], in opposition to the true revelation, so be discerning.

An Allusion (Ishārah): The one engaged in ecstatic audition (samā‘) is with the melody, not with the Absolute Truth (al-Ḥaqq).
