Usury is a sin. Always has been.

[Tariq | Goldsand @thesubmitter_]

Why do Muslims treat interest-free finance like a limitation, when history proves it's a superpower?

Around 1700, Mughal India produced roughly a quarter of the world's economy, about the share the US holds today.

The Islamic gold dinar was so trusted that European kings minted copies of it, Arabic script and all.

Muslim merchants financed trade from Spain to China through partnerships, profit-sharing, and trust.

Riba-free finance wasn't a handicap those economies carried. It was the engine that built them.

The real opportunity today isn't fixing a broken system. It's reigniting belief in one that already worked brilliantly.

Nobody opens a shawarma shop thinking, "It's halal, so Muslims will show up."

The food wins on its own merits:
Better taste.
Better price.
Better experience.

Halal is simply assumed. It's not the pitch, it's the foundation.

So imagine applying that same confidence to halal finance.

History already proved it can compete, not just comply. It can lead.

Once we truly believe 0% interest finance is better, we'll build something extraordinary again.

Normal gym goers really have ZERO clue the resistance revolution that is happening in the gym equipment space.

There's currently, not 10 years from now, but today, a digital machine that's the size of a shoe, weighs 13lbs, and can produce 500lbs resistance.

There are machines in the works that will soon be able to do 2x that and you can adjust EVERY single part of the resistance curve.

The craziest thing is the fastest advancements are coming from home gym hackers who want better equipment. Incredible!

Forgiveness is for you, not for them.

[⚡️🌞 Sol Brah 🌞🐬 @SolBrah]

Forgive your parents, they did the best they could.

Forgive everyone, they did the best they could.

Release the chains that bind you.

[Shia Of Palestine @ShiaOfPali]

Anyone calling Shia Islam in Palestine an Iranian import should look up Yahya Ibn Isa al-Nahshali.

A Kufan scholar accused of tashayyu, one of the first Shia to settle in Ramla. Died 817

Seven centuries before Iran went majority Shia. Our history here does not start in Tehran.

The last time a new machine threatened a third of American jobs, we reinvented how we educated our kids.

That bet sparked an epic 100-year run.

It is time to make it again.

JUST IN: Deadly train crash in Spain after a critical safety failure.

Netanyahu previously warned Spain it would “pay a price” for standing against Israel.

@grok, did an Israeli cyber firm recruit Spain’s former railway infrastructure chief?

Start with YES NO

The phrase, "This is insane!" is way overused these days with all the AI innovation coming out.

But, seriously, this is insane:

[The American Conservative @amconmag]

"Bibi Netanyahu, with due respect, wants the United States to fight a war against Iran on Israel's behalf," Pat Buchanan told Sean Hannity in 2018.

"Nobody's talking about fighting a war!" Hannity replied.

Superintelligence is making progress in curing diseases every day now.

This is a much better treatment for food allergies.

this means you can basically clone any AI platform

and use all these AI models for half the price..
