We talk of #5amclub
By default the first prayer Fajr in the day is helping many of us to make it to 5am club time immemorial .
This is everyday 4.45am as we get ready for Fajr Pray ( morning prayers ) at our mosque on beach road Nyali. Full parking Ma Sha Allah hardly a space.
After 30 minutes you hit the beach for morning walk and run. Alhamdulilah .
Join the early bird, well you got no business to discuss the weather while in bed.
As always I choose to remain an optimist

@FreedomAirKe flight to/froMombasa is absolute bogus! No adherence to the flight timings and the equipment is very small( probably meant for flying schools) and has visibly aged( flying coffin) .. first and last time to fly with ! No comms even to clients. Pathetic!
Mesmerising African dialect of the Holy Quran.
In Surah Rehman
Allah challenges humans as well as the jinn – which is relatively rare in the Qur’an – to deny any of the blessings that He has given us.
The crescent moon above Saudi Arabia
What does this tell us? That Saudi was indeed correct
Its shape clearly shows that it cannot be a first crescent, from the 2nd night onward, it becomes wider and brighter
A crescent this wide tells us that it is more than a day old
Today, Mark Carney delivered a speech worth watching. But a good speech is not foreign policy. The Prime Minister now needs to follow his words with action.
As a start, Mark Carney must:
Benjamin Netanyahu cheered by Europe killed International Law in Gaza … And he crowned it by destroying UN offices yesterday.
President Donald Trump, a man with no duplicity or hypocrisy is going to bury International Law in Greenland as Europe watches powerlessly!
Couldn’t agree more! The Hypocrisy of the “rule of law” has been intentional and when it caught up with them , they are suddenly clever! Precedent was set in Gaza and let chaos reign untill sense gets into everyone! Macron’s text to DJT is the exhibit!
Everyone praising Mark Carney’s speech as “bold,” “brave,” or “eloquent,” and treating it as evidence that the West can still rescue itself, is still misunderstanding the nature of the crisis.
The “rules-based international order” didn’t erode gradually or mysteriously; it collapsed the moment Western governments showed that the rules don’t apply when the violator is an ally. Gaza didn’t expose a weakness in the system that could be patched or repaired; it revealed what the system actually is.
For two years, the Western world didn’t merely fail to restrain Israel; it funded it, armed it, vetoed accountability, rewrote legal standards in real time, and criminalized dissent at home. International law was selectively suspended, not overwhelmed like some people want to say, and once legality becomes conditional, the concept itself ceases to exist.
That was the real point of no return in 2023. Not because Donald Trump violating the sovereignty of Greenland broke the order, but because the precedent was set in full view of the world: mass killing can be lawful if it’s committed by the right state, against the right people, with the right patrons. After that, no appeal to “norms” or “institutions” can be taken seriously again.
Don’t gaslight yourselves into thinking that Carney is offering a path to renewal here; he’s delivering a sophisticated obituary. You can’t rebuild credibility with speeches after showing that the law is optional. Anyone treating this as a hopeful turning point is as delusional as a person watching their house burn and believing better fire alarms will restore the structure.
It’s already over. And as the Western order fractures under the weight of its own contradictions, Gaza won’t be a footnote to its collapse. It’ll be remembered as the moment the world finally understood that the system had died long before anyone admitted it.
