copied from #whoseknowledge, but this question is so powerful, and reinforces the importance of reliable and honest journalism, and knowledge production, and our own role in this process.
I'll be around Hyderabad (25-29, this month), in a hackathon organised by Indic MediaWiki User Group and OKI, IIIT Hyderabad. Friends around, happy to chat over a cup of tea! InShaAllah.
Traffic management and our role as Muslims. Hear from Mufti Nazir Saheb. This video is likely from 2021 but has an important message that we must follow.
@afreenfatimaali although I can't talk about Instagram, you could surely use open source platforms like Wikimedia Commons to document heritage, & much more (as long there's educational value). At @dcwwiki, we have a special fellowship program to help photographers/heritage enthusiasts explore.
there's rahbaniyyah, and there's materialism. ours is the caravan in between. we have both the material & the ethics: our principles guide us holistically. this is where we tend to utilise effectively. we should learn from the examples of Hz Usman, Hz ibn Auf, among others.
@Ms_Misfit_ i disagree putting everything into the nonsense of feminism. Ml Feroz Memon Sahab has much interesting bayanat on this. We need to get rid of such unIslamic practices within our families.
@Ms_Misfit_ but aapi, fulfilling our responsibilities shouldn't be boasted as a sacrifice either. Could be taken as something odd because the sort of society where we live in. But he's technically taking care of his own duties and responsibilities. There's nothing extraordinary here.
Let's not ruin our present by limiting ourselves to the praise of what people did in the past, as Smith says, "I am old, but I certainly have not that sign of old age, extolling the past at the expense of the present."
Irresponsible behaviour within our home settings leads to suffering elsewhere in the society. Ubaidullah Sindhi would say, "since we make the lives of our women execrable, our children grow in such an environment of unpleasantness; when they step outside,
they find themselves extremely abysmal for these are their home-grown qualities." To help ourselves, we must be responsible, and on top of that, humble. Our behaviour should no way resemble firawnism.
