Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, one of Iran’s top science and engineering institutions, was bombed tonight, and a number of schools reportedly damaged.
Founded in 1966 (as Aryamehr University), Sharif is a cornerstone of Iran’s scientific and academic life.
Striking and destroying universities and schools is not just an attack on buildings,it is an attack on a country’s future.
FOR THE RECORD
Thirty-six people were killed in the Imam Bargah blast in Islamabad, yet Basant celebrations continued. Now, as Holi, one of the biggest Hindu festivals, arrives, the Hindu community has voluntarily chosen not to celebrate it, or to observe it simply, out of respect for our Shia Muslim friends in mourning.
Interfaith harmony should be a two-way street.
In the last 24 hours in Peshawar, hundreds of Afghan refugees have been detained in intensified raids. Families are being separated, children are terrified, and many now face deportation to Afg.
Regardless of policy changes, basic dignity and due process must not be abandoned.
America killed Bin Laden, what did it offer the people of Afghanistan afterward?
America killed Saddam Hussein, what did it offer the people of Iraq afterward?
America killed Yasser Arafat, what did it offer the people of Palestine afterward?
America killed Muammar Gaddafi, what did it offer the people of Libya afterward?
America killed Ali Abdullah Saleh, what did it offer the people of Yemen afterward?
America overthrew Bashar al-Assad, what did it offer the people of Syria afterward?
America arrested Nicolás Maduro, what did it offer the people of Venezuela?
America cannot be trusted; it is merely a colonial power exploiting peoples and resources.
praying for the safety of foreign workers in the gulf states who have left their families for better economic opportunities in countries that don’t see them as human beings. may god keep them safe
We were told the life of a single Pakistani is more sacred than Afghanistan… until they protest outside the American embassy, then suddenly, the rules of humanity & the right to life are suspended.
We’ve reached the point of Israel’s genocide where Doctors Without Borders can report a 29-DAY-OLD Palestinian baby freezing to death and it’s not even news.
With age, I finally understand why Musa (AS) said “Wa yassir li amri” …“Make my task easy for me.” Because by Allah, we can’t do it alone. We need His help in every step, every breath.
istg this woman only exists to cater to the western narrative at this point. this feels straight out of a netflix show where a muslim girl is shown as oppressed and feels liberated only after changing her clothes outside of the knowledge of her family. i can’t even-
However up-to-date you've tried to stay on Gaza, or however cravenly you've ignored it, however hard you've looked right into hell or however you've exempted yourself from looking: Please, give me 30 seconds of focused, closed-eyes silence on "delivering a headless woman's baby."
They told the slaves: endure your chains, your reward will be in the next life.
They told the peasants: accept hunger, for paradise is yours if you remain patient.
They told the oppressed: let the rulers enjoy the dunya, for the akhirah belongs to you.
This is how power has always maintained itself. The weak were taught to glorify their own weakness, to see dignity, strength, and wealth as corrupt or evil simply because they could not reach them. And in that mental prison, resistance was suffocated.
The Roman Empire did this with its slaves. The feudal lords did this with the serfs. Even in modern forms of labor, you see the same logic: accept hardship now, the reward comes later. It is a strategy of ruling classes everywhere, transforming the natural human desire for justice, prosperity, and freedom into passive waiting for a promised afterlife.
But Islam never meant that poverty is a virtue, nor that submission to tyranny is piety. Tawheed is not about letting oppressors enjoy this world while believers wait for the next. Tawheed is about refusing to bow to anything other than Allah, whether it be idols, wealth, or tyrants. It is liberation, not sedation.
To strip Muslims of the will to seek dignity in this life under the pretext of spirituality is not religion, it is distortion. Being Muslim does not mean choosing poverty. It does not mean lowering your head while oppressors build palaces. It means living with honor, striving for justice, and knowing that the akhirah is indeed real but that does not erase your duty to stand upright in the dunya.
@dramaticriday Hopefully they are the same with their girlfriends/wives. Most men who treat their sisters as princesses make the lives of their partners a living hell. The things they do for you unsolicited are ‘too much’ when their wives ask for it.
اِنّا لِلّٰہِ وٙ اِنّا اِلِیہِ رٙاجِعُون۔۔!!
مرے ساتھ تم سب بھی پڑھ لو۔
ہر اس انسان پر
ہر اس تعلق پر
ہر اس رشتے پر
ہر اس احساس پر
جس نے ساتھ کے عوض تمہیں مایوس کیا۔
ناقدری کی
درد دیا
ذلیل کیا
کردار اچھالا
عزت کو خاک کیا
ذہن کو توڑا
دل کو مسمار کیا
اور
محبت کے بدلے بس رسوائی دی۔
