How can a Merciful God punish people? Everyone wants to be happy, but how can you actually find that happiness and contentment?
Watch Juz 10 of Quran 30 for 30: https://t.co/P48o4BfCso
Their ancestors were the greatest mathematicians that ever walked on earth and all our technologies including your being able to ask your islamophobic 'question' is based on technologies based on mathematical science that originated from many muslim scientists and thinkers. Your ancestors' enlightenment from the dark ages, industrialisation, today's weapons systems and skewed global financial architecture were all made possible through genius mathematical ideas invented by many muslim scholars. I know, they did not teach you this in school. The few times I have visited postcolonial Britain, I interacted with British and non-British professors and professionals from various religions including muslims and I have profited immensely from much of their scholarship. Just spend time with some good books Mr. David Vance. Hopefully, you will appreciate the palimpsests of knowledge production, the role of muslim scholars as well as many similarly amazing non-muslim and non-religious scholars from Timbuktu to Beijing to Boston to Cape Town, to Nairobi, to Oxford, to Githurai, to Athens, to Yucatán, that is, basically across the global cosmopolitanisms of knowledge production. If you drop me your address, I am glad to loan you a few good books from my home library which, you should kindly return upon reading. Am glad to pay freight costs both ways. That is the little I can chip in as an attempt at answering your 'question.' But most important, stop Islamophobia packaged in your words and a distorted edited video whose content has nothing to do with prayer. We know how Muslims pray, we are not stupid. And we borrow and know our inshallahs, our mashallahs, our Alhamdullilahs and bismillahs and Allahu Akbars. And yes, though we belong to other religions, we have read the Surats of the Quran and also read about Jesus and Mary in the Quran, just as some of our Muslim friends have read the Bible and conversed with us about our - in my case African - religions. We can coexist and we must coexist and it does not matter whether we believe in any God or not, whether we belong to any religion or not. Kind regards. ⚖️
Ramadan is Jannah's favorite season, and the gates of Jannah have just flung wide open for us. It's time to increase and beautify our worship as we strive for our eternal home.

Sheikh Saud Al Shuraim will be absent for the first time in Ramadan in 32 years since his appointment.
The Imam bid farewell in a personal poem written by himself, following 3 decades of service to the Haram, leading Muslims from all over the world.
May Allah protect him.
“O Friend, the cloth from which your burial shroud will be cut may have already reached the market and yet you remain unaware!”
— Imam Al-Ghazali رحمه الله
Almighty, in a world that never stops talking, let us learn to appreciate silence. Grant us the ability to listen to the unspoken words many are uttering but no one is listening because everyone’s busy talking. Grant ease to those who are battling their trials quietly. Aameen.
