Throwback to Seoul, March 2019. Some days I randomly think, would security have pedigree’d me if I had inched just a little closer to Jackson Wang. #GOT7
If you sum up the last 20 years of the US-Iran relationship, it reads like this:
US: Do not peruse nuclear weapons
Iran: Ok we signed the nuclear proliferation treaty
US: Too bad, you’re getting sanctioned
Iran: Ok
US: Stop pursuing nuclear weapons
Iran: We’re not; we’re generating energy just like other countries.
US: Sign a deal and have us inspect what you’re doing
Iran: Ok, deal signed, inspectors welcome
US: Too bad, deal canceled and you’re getting more sanctions
Iran: Ok
US: Stop pursuing nukes or else
Iran: Look, we did everything you’ve asked
US: Too bad, we’re gonna bomb you anyway. That girl school looks like a good target *BOOM*
Israel: *bombs Iran
Iran: *defends itself
Israel: “The evil regime of Iran is targeting our civilians”
US: “Iran is cutting heads off babies”
Doggo crashes a live concert, got onstage like he owns the place, politely accepts a drumstick from the drummer (because priorities), then chills on the carpet while the band keeps jamming. Unbothered Confident 50/10 would share the stage with him again
This is the best 90-second story you’ll see all week
An 1,800-pound walrus named Wally got lost, drifted 2,500 miles from the Arctic, and started napping on random boats in Ireland… sinking a few of them People panicked, then someone built him his own floating couch so he’d leave everyone’s yachts alone.
22 days later he casually swam home to Iceland like nothing had happened.
Who would have thought that the same people who would fight you until the last man if you invade their country
are the same people who wouldn’t let you pay for anything if you come as a visitor rather than an invader.
People usually think that when siblings go to court, it must be about inheritance or land disputes. But this true story from Saudi Arabia is completely different and truly moves the heart
An elderly man named Hizam Al-Ghamdi had to stand in court against his own younger brother and they were not fighting over money but instead, each of them insisted on taking responsibility for caring for their frail, elderly mother
Hizam argued strongly that he wanted to continue caring for his mother as he had always done saying that she was his very life but his younger brother disagreed believing that Hizam himself was already old and needed res
The courtroom became emotional as both brothers pleaded before the judge for the honour of caring for their mother
Unsure of what to decide the judge brought their mother in and asked her to choose and her answer touched everyone—she said she could not choose because both of her sons were like her left and right eyes
Since the mother could not decide the judge had to rule based on reason
The court eventually granted custody to the younger brother due to his younger age and greater strength
When the decision was announced the atmosphere became sorrowful as Hizam broke down in tears
He did not cry out of fear or anger but because he felt he had "lost" the precious opportunity to continue serving his mother in her remaining days

nelson mandela was on the US terrorism watch list until 2008. the west purposely uses the word 'terrorist' to define those who resist imperialism and occupation.
When the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) died, many Muslims were in shock. Umar (RA) couldn’t even accept it. But Abubakr (RA) reminded them:
“Whoever worships Muhammad, know that Muhammad is dead. But whoever worships God, He is Ever-Living and never dies.”
That is Islam.
We do not worship Muhammad. We follow him. He was a messenger, not a mediator. He lived like us, felt pain like us, and died like us. He never claimed to be divine or the only way to reach God.
In Islam, your connection with God is direct. No middleman.
“We are closer to him than his jugular vein.”
Yes, believing in the Prophet is essential. Not because he stands between you and God, but because he delivered God’s message.
But your prayer, your worship, your dua… it goes straight to the One who hears all things.
