Mathematics.

The number 69,696 is a remarkable number and certainly my favorite of all the integers. A monk once presented this number to a student and said: "What do you find significant about 69,696?"
The student thought for a few seconds and replied, "That is too easy, Master. It's the largest undulating square known to humanity.” The teacher pondered this answer, and he started to undulate in a mixture of excitement and perhaps even terror.
To understand the monk's passionate response, we must digress to some simple mathematics. “Undulating Numbers” are of the form: ababababab.... For example, 171717 and 28282 are undulating numbers. A square number is of the form y=x². For example, 25 is a square number. So is 16. An undulating square is simply a square number that undulates.
When I first conceived the idea of undulating squares many years ago, it was not known if any such numbers existed. It turns out that 69696 = 264² is indeed the largest undulating square known to humanity, and most mathematicians believe we will never find a larger one.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁?

Many Muslims are asking 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒔 like the one unfolding today?

Our principles as Muslims must remain clear: we stand with the oppressed and we oppose oppression, regardless of who commits it or who suffers from it.

At the same time, we must speak honestly. Within the Muslim world there are deep and serious divisions in creed, politics, and history. These are not merely minor disagreements. In many places Muslims have suffered at the hands of other Muslims, and these wounds are real. They should not be denied or erased.

But justice in Islam is not conditional on agreement. A people may hold serious errors or have committed wrongdoing, and yet still be wronged in another situation. Recognising that oppression is taking place does not mean endorsing their beliefs or overlooking past crimes. It simply means refusing to abandon justice.

Allah commands:

“Do not let the hatred of a people cause you to be unjust. Be just; that is closer to righteousness.” (Qur’an 5:8)

This principle becomes most difficult precisely when emotions are strongest. Anger, grief, and historical grievances can easily push people toward positions that feel satisfying in the moment but ultimately contradict the moral framework Islam demands.

At the same time, we remember the divine patterns that Allah has established in history. Oppression carries consequences, even when it appears to persist for a time.

Allah says:

“Do not think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do.” (Qur’an 14:42)

Many regimes and powers in our time have committed grave injustices and bloodshed. Their reckoning with Allah is certain, whether it comes in this life or the next. But recognising this reality does not give us permission to abandon justice in our own speech and conduct.

History itself offers sobering reminders of how dangerous it can be when anger and division cloud judgment.

In the early thirteenth century, the Khwarazmian Empire stood as a major Muslim power in Central Asia and Iran. Like many states, it had committed injustices and had many enemies. When the Mongols invaded and destroyed this empire, some people who had suffered under its rule initially welcomed its fall, believing that the removal of a hated authority would improve their situation.

The great Muslim historian Ibn al-Athir, who lived during this period and witnessed the devastation, wrote about the Mongol invasion with profound anguish. He described it as a catastrophe so immense that he hesitated even to record it in his history.

What soon became clear was that the collapse of that state had removed the main barrier standing between the Mongol armies and the rest of the Muslim lands. City after city fell, and the devastation eventually reached Baghdad itself.

The lesson is not that every ruler or state must be defended, nor that the Khwarazmian rulers themselves were free of wrongdoing. The lesson is that hatred and grievance can sometimes blind people to consequences. In their anger toward a power they disliked, some failed to recognise that its fall would open the door to a far greater disaster.

This is why Islam insists that justice must remain our compass even when emotions run high.

Sectarian divisions, political loyalties, and historical grievances are real. But they must never lead us to celebrate oppression, justify injustice, or abandon fairness.

The believer’s position must remain principled, not partisan. We reject oppression wherever it appears. We stand for justice wherever it is due. And we refuse to allow anger, division, or past grievances to push us into positions that betray the moral standards of our faith.

In times of turmoil, holding firmly to justice may feel difficult. But it is precisely in such moments that justice matters most.

And Allah knows best.
