From posting every day to posting once a year… social media is not what it used to be… and neither is the world 🤯

Went to Trafalgar Square to see for myself… Braverman is talking complete nonsense�� there is no “hate” only people protesting peacefully against the murder of children… it’s clear that the vast majority of British people are with Palestine 🇵🇸

Putin seems intent on taking Russia to a place that even Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, et al feared to tread.

Good luck with that. You know where it will end 😒🇷🇺🔥⚰️

After years of rumour and speculation, it’s now official:

No.10 and No.11 Downing Street occupied by proven criminals

There used to be a time in this country when public office holders would resign upon the mere suspicion of having done an act morally reprehensible. Now they just wait for Police investigations into criminality…

Truly shameful.

#Gateway - redefining professional services in the Islamic economy

In all my life, I’ve never understood how certain people get so excited about material possessions: a new home, a car, a piece of jewellery, etc.

The most exciting things in my life have always been those that enrich my heart, mind or soul… never my wallet! 🤓

[Gateway @gatewayglobalco]

Wishing all of our followers, friends and associates a happy and blessed #Eid Al-Adha. This occasion is about sacrifice, patience and mercy; traits which are seemingly short-lived. Let's join hands to pray for all experiencing hardship, and remind ourselves of His infinite mercy.

Alhamdulillah - even when things are bad, life is still pretty good 😉✨

[Ashley of Arabia @Ashfreedom]

Absolutely spot on

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.

[Ashley of Arabia @Ashfreedom]

@OfficialTM_3 Absolutely, well said.

@theworldchess 1… f5 (“best by test” - Morphy 😆)

[Ashley of Arabia @Ashfreedom]

Sometimes you just have to laugh for no apparent reason… 😄

Isn’t the very fact of our existence in this vast universe at this particular moment in time miraculous and wondrous enough by itself to cause such delight? ✨

[Ashley of Arabia @Ashfreedom]

It’s frustrating continually explaining the horrendous sin of riba to Muslims when most are only interested whether their Big Mac is halal...

“Drop the Covid plans, Trump wants to start bombing the Middle East...”

- Dominic Cummings [slightly paraphrased] reporting a Downing Street instruction

Just tells you everything you need to know about this Government really... 😒

[Ashley of Arabia @Ashfreedom]

Superb - keep up the good work!

[Gateway @gatewayglobalco]

The Gateway team was delighted to commence work this week on a major Islamic finance project for one of the world’s leading financial centres ✨

#Gateway - the professional choice for the Islamic economy

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

If you can do so in a safe way, come and join us tomorrow at midday in London at Speaker’s Corner to stand in solidarity with Palestine. Events also at many locations across the UK. Wear a mask, bring sanitiser and remember to socially distance.

[Gateway @gatewayglobalco]

From our family to yours, wishing all of those celebrating today a safe and joyous #EidMubarak.

[Ashley of Arabia @Ashfreedom]

Tear gas and stun grenades used in the third holiest masjid in Islam - and still the Muslims continue to buy good & services from businesses that stay silent about such things... 🙄
