The Saudi Heritage Commissio announced the discovery of an inscription written during the early Islamic period
“ May Allah be the guardian of Umar ibn al-Khattab in this world and the Hereafter"
"There is no god but Allah"”
In a frightening hate incident, a man wearing a balaclava attempts to burn down a local Imam's home in Bolton, with his young family inside.
The perpetrator is still at large.
If we could go back twenty years and invest in anything, most people would probably choose stocks, Bitcoin, property, or maybe even Pokémon cards.
Me? I’d copyright the word wallahi and retire early. If I had £1 for every time I heard “wallahi”... I’d probably be richer than the people who bought Bitcoin in 2010.
Growing up in Southfields, South London, every conversation seemed to include “swear down”, “oh my God”, “Jesus!” or “wallahi”. Fast forward twenty years, and I recently overheard a very posh lady casually tell her friend, "wallahi it's so hot today."
She wasn’t Muslim, but that is precisely the point.
Muslims say “wallahi”. Christians say “Jesus Christ”. Others say “oh my God”. Sacred expressions have become part of everyday speech, often used without a second thought.
Islamically, before anyone panics, Allah the Almighty tells us:
“Allah will not call you to account for such of your oaths as are vain...”
So careless or unintentional oaths are not treated the same as deliberate ones. But that doesn’t mean we should become comfortable casually throwing around the name of Allah.
The real danger isn’t always the one-off phrase.
The danger is when sacred words become filler words.
Firstly, religious expressions carry meaning for people and deserve respect. Most Muslims would feel uncomfortable hearing someone casually say “oh my Allah” as a joke. Likewise, many Christians dislike hearing “Jesus Christ” used carelessly. Respect matters.
Secondly, when wallahi becomes everyday slang, we risk forgetting how serious an oath by Allah actually is. One day you may genuinely use it to assure someone youre telling the truth: “wallahi I’m serious” or “wallahi I’ll pay you back.” At that point, those words carry real weight.
The same verse continues by reminding us that Allah will call us to account for what our hearts intentionally commit to.
The Holy Prophet (sa) said:
“He who must take an oath, may do so by swearing in the Name of Allah or he should remain silent.”
Finally, just because vain oaths are not legally binding does not make them harmless. Islam teaches believers to avoid what is vain, purposeless and empty.
The tongue becomes accustomed to whatever the heart treats lightly.
And if the name of Allah becomes nothing more than a reaction, a punchline or a habit on our tongues, we should not be surprised when it slowly begins to lose weight in our hearts as well. God forbid.

You’d need to sell a kidney to afford attending the 2026 World Cup matches
Just compare the prices of the 2022 World Cup and the 2026 World Cup.
You’ll be paying enormous amounts of money just to attend a match in hot weather, with the possibility of games being delayed due to weather warnings. And on top of that, you might buy a ticket and still not be allowed to enter the United States
The Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan, selected by @FIFAWorldCup and distinguished by CAF as the best African referee of 2025, was rejected upon arriving in the United States at Miami airport and deported back to Istanbul.
This World Cup is the worst.
@GarySpedding You misunderstand Islam.
No Muslim with an ounce of dignity will wilfully disobey the Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him.
What you’re proposing is akin to being a meat-eating vegan. You’re either one or the other; you can’t be both simultaneously.
