The Janazah of the Mufti of Makkah, Sayyidi Al-Habib Umar Al-Jaylani رحمه الله earlier today in Indonesia.
He lived in Makkah for over 50 years of his life serving the religion and teaching thousands of students. The Shaykh passed away on the plane whilst travelling for Dawah.
Our show will be off air this week.
As an update, both the White House and our counterterrorism agencies have confirmed receipt of what I reported publicly: Emmanuel Macron attempted to organize my assassination, per a source close to the first couple.
Also, I will again state that the French legionnaires were involved in Charlie Kirk’s assassination but they did not act alone.
For all of you who doubted my claims, you can now look to the President of the United States and our intelligence communities to issue a statement to confirm whether I am telling the truth.

A Bold — and Only — Solution to the Pak-Afghan Conflict
This subject requires a lot of prefacing and breaking down of historical issues. But I don't want to make a book out of it. The honest and intelligent reader will understand. The dishonest will nitpick.
1. The Root: The Durand Line
Afghanistan must formally recognize the Durand Line as the international border between the two countries.
Everything else — including the TTP probelm — is a symptom of this unresolved fact (and of course heavy handed and hypocritical policies of the Pak state)
Afghanistan made its first strategic mistake by refusing to recognize Pakistan in 1947, though it later had to accept reality. When Pakistan was formed, the Pashtuns of British India were given a referendum to either join Pakistan or Afghanistan. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan in his infinite wisdom boycotted it, hoping to carve out his own fiefdom called Pashtunistan. The remaining turnout overwhelmingly chose Pakistan. This is a fact.
The truth is that Pashtuns on the Pakistan side — except for some tribal areas — preferred joining Pakistan because the infrastructure, trade, and governance left behind by the British offered far more opportunity than impoverished Afghanistan.
Afghan nationalists still cannot come to terms with this — and this denial is the elephant in the room that continues to poison relations. Pakistani Pashtuns don't want to be with you. Hypothetically, even if you can by force take up to Attock, the Pakistani Pashtuns will oppose you.
2. The Religious Argument
If one argues that recognizing the border is haram because borders are a colonial creation, the response is that a) you don’t have to accept it in your heart. Consider it a forced necessity — ʿumūm al-balwā — a widespread hardship. Under the fiqhi maxim (المشقة تجلب التيسير) — “Hardship allows ease” — jurists relax rulings when strict adherence would cause excessive difficulty. The Durand Line has become exactly that: a source of ongoing hardship for the Muslim community on both sides. The unity of Afghans and Pakistanis is a religious and historical obligation (wujub), and it hinges on resolving this border dispute once and for all.
b) Let’s not be selective about which sins enrage God; there are plenty of other haram fires that need to be put out too.
3. The Historic Opportunity
Today, Afghanistan is under one unified authority — the first time in decades. If there was ever a moment to resolve an unpopular ( I have doubts about that too) but necessary issue without internal chaos, it is now.
It’s worth noting that the Durand Line dispute is a Pashtun obsession. The Tajiks, Uzbeks, and Hazaras of Afghanistan have little interest in this issue. Yet it continues to paralyze national development and regional cooperation. Seventy-five years of instability have proven that postponing this issue only breeds bloodshed and poverty. It is time to move on.
4. What Pakistan Must Offer
None of what is said above in any way absolves the Pakistan state of their crimes against the Pashtuns and their trademark hypocrisy. They are not blameless. But this is one issue where the entire Pakistani nation agrees, across ethnic and political lines. the consensus of Muslims(yeah yeah I am not denying consensus is by scholars only) on an issue is also not insignificant, especially if it affects them in real visceral terms.
Once Afghanistan formally recognizes the border, Pakistan must reciprocate with genuine concessions:
a) Grant visa-free or special cross-border access for Pashtun families on both sides.
b) Provide a dedicated trade corridor for Afghanistan through Pakistani ports.
c) Facilitate transit trade access to India through agreed routes(yes Afghans can do business with India, you would too but they have shut the doors)
d) guarantees that the state would stop anti-Pashtun policies, including forced disappearances and other brutalities (this one is a long shot)
Such measures would restore trust, stimulate commerce, and end the TTP crisis naturally — without further bloodshed.
If this issue remains unresolved, it will not just haunt us but ruin future generations. I do not want my children to inherit this paralysis — a border that shuts every two weeks, sparks pointless skirmishes, and stalls the natural progress of both nations. I want to come and live in the country of my birth but the instability is a risk that I can't take.
Recognizing the border is not capitulation. It is liberation from decades of denial. It’s time to replace romantic slogans with pragmatic brotherhood. The mushriks on the other side of the border, and the Kuffars in general like nothing more than a continued Pak-Afg conflict.
Like I said before, ultimately the decision rests with the Pashtuns of Pakistan, and they don't seem to want a Pashtun union with Afghanistan. The other scenario is a Balkanized state-lets along ethnic lines. Only an enemy of Islam would want that.
I am cordially inviting other Pashtun accounts on both sides to give their opinion on the matter. @ObaidullaBaheer@NafeesRehmanDr@WRahimdil@aw_kakar @_titanslayer_ (who is in some ways too young to understand the conflict fully but we want to know what young Pashtuns in Pakistan are thinking)
Imam Al Ghazali on thankfulness due to Allah.
The Quran says:
“Be grateful to Allah, for whoever is grateful, it is only for their own good. And whoever is ungrateful, then surely Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.”
[Quran 31:12]
Thankfulness is only conceivable,

Imam Al Ghazali on the definition of thankfulness.
Allah Said:
“If you tried to count Allah’s blessings, you would never be able to number them. Indeed humankind is truly unfair, ungrateful.”
[Quran 14:34]
Thankfulness is made up of knowledge, state and action.
