Muslims are 24% of the global population, but only have ~6% of global wealth.
There’s only one halal way to catch up. It’s #Bitcoin— it’s now or never for the Ummah.
@dua_hub Find a wealthy family to give you Qard Al-Hasan or buy using a Musharakah (co-ownership) and Ijārah (leaseback) model like @liveneeyah
All other loans have riba.
These Muslims are damaging our Ummah:
- don’t understand credit creation and support Islamic banks
- understand Shariah in some sense and support Islamic banks (this is much worse)
- taking out Islamic loans for consumption
- taking part in any Islamic fixed income or reliable yield products
- looking for yield on crypto
- delivering or supporting any of the above claiming it’s helping Muslims
- saying why fight fiat because there is no solution
- saying “it’s not perfect at least it’s a start”
- “conventional banking is 100% haram and at least Islamic banks don’t invest in alcohol”
- talking about fintech in a manner of making money and getting clout
- telling Muslims it’s more important to make money than treating capital as a burden and Amanah
- saying we have to follow the scholars who know best
- not understanding fiat is Riba
- saying Bitcoin is haram and fiat is fine
- trusting your Muslim government to actually implement Islamic finance
Will pause for breath …
💢 REPORT | What’s New in Hormuz
🔸As a two-week ceasefire takes hold, Iran is asserting formal control over the Strait of Hormuz — requiring oil tankers to pay tolls in Bitcoin and submit cargo details before passage, the Financial Times reports.
🔸Hamid Hosseini, a spokesperson for Iran’s Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters’ Union, said tankers must email cargo details, after which Iran sets a $1-per-barrel toll payable in cryptocurrency to avoid sanctions tracing. Empty tankers may pass freely.
🔸“Iran is not in a rush” to process vessels, he added. Tankers in the Gulf have also received radio warnings they could face military strikes without prior Iranian approval: “If any vessels try to transit without permission, they will be destroyed,” according to a recording shared with the FT.
🔸A senior Iranian official told Reuters the strait could reopen Thursday or Friday ahead of talks in Pakistan, though access would remain limited and coordinated with Iran’s military.
🔸Oman said it will not enforce tolls, citing international maritime obligations — contradicting earlier reporting from the Associated Press that the framework may allow both Iran and Oman to charge transit fees, with Iran directing revenue toward reconstruction.
🔸Asked about the tolls, President Donald Trump told ABC News a joint system was under consideration with the United States: “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture… It’s a beautiful thing.”
🔸Meanwhile, as Israel continued bombing Lebanon hours after the ceasefire announcement, Emma Murphy of ITV News reported a senior Iranian government figure is in contact with Pakistan demanding Israel be held to the deal, stressing Lebanon was explicitly included. “Lebanon was part of it as it was stated in the tweet of the Pakistani PM,” the official said. Murphy added that sources close to Hezbollah are warning the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen if Israeli attacks continue, underscoring the stakes: “The whole deal rests on the Strait reopening.”
🔸Separately, Fars News Agency reported a security source said Tehran is preparing “deterrent operations” against Israeli military positions following continued violations in Lebanon. The source added there is a growing view in Tehran that either Washington cannot restrain Netanyahu or has granted him freedom of action.
🔸MarineTraffic data shows early signs of vessel movement returning as a new, tightly controlled regime begins to take shape in the Strait. Iranian state broadcaster IRIB said the first ship has already transited since the ceasefire.
Leqaa Kordia is finally free!!!!
Al hamdulilah! There are no words to express my joy, and my hope that others like her will walk free as well.
Thank you to everyone who refused to forget her, and refuse to forget them all.

If you really want your Zakat to help Palestinians, I have a radical proposal: give it to Palestinians. Or someone else from among the countless needy people in the ummah.
@omarsuleiman@DrShadeeElmasry My dear Shaykh, they keep amplifying our message with their short-sighted antics.
Ultimately they cannot ban the truth. The fitra searches for it, no matter where it’s buried.
@thesubmitter_ We don’t need an argument at all since the Quran explicitly condemns it.
But yes, if making one, it exploits the vulnerable, perpetuates inequality, and goes against the Islamic principle of justice.
🟢 New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will become the first NYC mayor to swear in using the Quran.
During his public ceremony at City Hall, Mamdani will place his hand on Qurans that belonged to his grandfather and grandmother. At a separate private swearing-in, he will also use a Quran that belonged to Arturo Schomburg, the Black Puerto Rican historian, writer, and archivist whose collection helped shape the Harlem Renaissance and founded the Schomburg Center.
Mamdani’s advisers told The New York Times the choice reflects New York’s layered religious, racial, and immigrant history, and marks a long-overdue recognition of Muslims in the city’s civic life.
