The reality and truth is that the mummy shown in the video is not the Pharaoh of Moses, and the idea that his body was preserved by a divine miracle to last until modern times is a complete internet myth.
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen (Rahimahullah) thoroughly dismantled this claim. He explained that when Allah says in Surah Yunus (10:92) that He saved Pharaoh's body to be a sign for "those who succeed you," it referred strictly to the Bani Isra'il who were alive at that exact moment.
Pharaoh had terrorized them for so long, claiming to be a god, that when he drowned, they literally could not believe he was dead. Allah caused his physical corpse to float to the shore purely so his victims could see his lifeless body with their own eyes and find closure. Once that purpose was served, the natural elements took their course.
The mummy you see on display today belongs to Ramesses II, a real Egyptian king who died in his bed in his nineties from natural causes.
His preservation is not a Quranic miracle. Please don’t forget this. And don’t mislead people. His preservation is just the result of advanced ancient Egyptian chemical engineering and mummification using natron salt.
We do not need to rely on fabricated museum folklore to validate the truth of the Quran. The Pharaoh of Moses drowned in the Red Sea, his story ended right there, and his body served its purpose thousands of years ago.
Allah knows best.

Since the past 24 hours that I made the tweet on child parenting solution, my DM has been buzzing. I checked them, and one thing was quite common to all: Parents who are not happy about their kid’s performance in school, and they have approached it the wrong way.
If you fall in this category, this post is for you.
Many of us use brutal force because expectations are too high, and the anger is just too much. The scholar Ibn al-Jawzi explained in his book Sayd al-Khatir that intellect is a Rizq (provision) from God, just like money or health.
He said some people are born with a wide vessel and others with a narrow one. If you try to force the water of a whole sea into a small cup, you will only spill the water and ruin the cup. This is what many of us are doing. We are trying to force a "doctor's brain" into a child whose cup was designed for something else.
By that, it causes a soul-crushing resentment in the child. Imam Al-Ghazali described this beautifully in Ihya’ Ulum al-Din. He warned parents about a state called “Al-Malal”, where a child builds resentment because they are pushed beyond their limit. Everyone wants the best for their child. No doubt. However, if you keep yelling at them for things they cannot grasp yet, you make them hate the very sight of a book. You are closing the door to their heart while trying to kick open the door to their mind.
Then what is the solution? It is simple.
Going forward, every parent should make efforts to start looking for the Fath (the opening) in their kids. What does this mean? This is the lane the Almighty has prepared for them. In our history, if a child is slow with grammar or math, the scholars don’t call them a failure. They move them to a trade, a craft or a service.
How then do you identify this Fath (Opening) in your child? Please pay close attention to me…
(1) The first phase is Observation. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned a concept called Istid’ad (natural readiness) in his book titled: Tuhfat al-Mawdud. This means you want to watch/observe/look at the child when they think nobody is looking. This is your first tool. For the next two weeks, stop talking about school. Do not worry yourself about how they perform on their homework.
Instead, keep a "Strength Log." Every evening, write down one thing they did well that had nothing to do with a classroom. Did they fix a broken toy? Did they calm down a crying sibling? Did they organise their shoes? You are looking for their Istid’ad (natural readiness). If they are "book-slow" but "people-smart" or "hand-smart," that is where the key has been placed.
(2) Introduce “Project or Craft” early on. Ibn Khaldun, in his Muqaddimah, argued that projects/crafts are high forms of intelligence that build civilizations. He argued that some minds are designed to understand the physical world better than the abstract one.
Give them a "Project Day." Buy a basic tool kit, a sewing machine, or a coding starter kit. Give them a broken radio or a piece of furniture to fix. Delegate. Give them a real-world task that has a visible result. When a child who fails at math sees that they can build a table or bake a perfect loaf of bread, their internal shame starts to heal. They realize they are not stupid; they were just in the wrong room.
(3) Kill the Comparison Virus. Imam Al-Zarnuji, in his classic work Ta’lim al-Muta’allim, explained that a student should only study what fits their nature. He said that forcing a student into a field they have no taste for is a waste of their life and the teacher's time. When you compare your child to others, you are catching a virus that blinds you to their path. Always filter.
When family members start bragging about their kids' grades, you must be the shield. Tell them, "My child is mastering the art of (so so and so)." You are teaching your child that success is not a single ladder. There are many ladders to it. And if you do not value their ladder, they will stop climbing.
(4) Prioritize Character Building. Put more efforts to praise your kids for their good character. Always tell them you love them when they behave well or show good character. Character recognition helps the child build a good self-image, which translates into self-confidence and barrier-breaking for the child. Prioritise this.
(5) Don’t underestimate the power of your words. Always pray to God to grant them their opening. The scholars taught that the "opening" is a gift from Al-Fattah (The Opener). Supplicate.
In your Sujud or in your prayers, stop asking for them to be a doctor/engineer, and what have you. Ask for the door that was made for them to be opened. Ask Him to show you the Fath so you can stop pushing them against a closed wall.
Always remember, a parent who finds the "Fath (The Opening)" for their child has given them a gift better than a degree. You have given them a purpose. Start that journey NOW. It’s never too late…
Thank you for your attention.
Allah knows best.
Hello Lola, I am a Muslim, and our spiritual tradition has a very deep approach to raising children. I want to share some tips from our scholars that will be beneficial to you regardless of your faith.
First of all, our theology teaches the concept of Fitrah. This means that every child is born with a pure heart. At six years old, she is not a criminal mastermind. She does not have a wicked soul.
If she doesn’t have all these, then what is happening? The truth is that she is just lacking impulse control and testing boundaries. By this, if you look at her as a manipulator, you will fight her. However, if you look at her as a pure soul making mistakes, you will be able to guide her.
Secondly, for every problem anyone faces today, it has been solved in history. The only problem is how to locate them.
A classical scholar named Al-Ghazali wrote about child psychology over 900 years ago in his famous book “Ihya Ulum al-Din.” In his section on disciplining children, he gave a practical rule I want you to adopt going forward.
He advised that parents should never push a child into a corner where they are forced to lie. When you ask a question you already know the answer to, her survival instinct kicks in. She cries and she lies to defend herself because she is scared of you. Stop interrogating her. Just look at her and state the fact. Say, I know you took this, and we are going to return it right now.
Again, another scholar and sociologist Ibn Khaldun addressed this exact behavior in his masterpiece titled: “Al-Muqaddimah.” He warned that when a child is raised with harsh punishment, they learn deceit, trickery, and lying to protect themselves. This is why she is covering her tracks and crying to manipulate you. The fear of a harsh reaction is making her a better liar.
Lola, do not attach a label to her. Do not ever call her a thief. If you attack her identity instead of her action, she will internalize it and grow into that dark label. Tell her the action is wrong but protect her dignity.
Make her return the item. Do not fall for the tears. Hold her hand, walk her back to wherever she took it from, and make her hand it back and apologize. The discomfort of returning a stolen item teaches a much better lesson than beating her will ever do.
Finally, I don’t know if you are a Muslim, but never underestimate the power of your own words. In our faith, we believe the prayer of a parent for a child goes straight to God without any barrier. Pray over her. Pray for her heart to be content and for her character to be straight.
Keep doing this consistently and the habit will break.
Allah knows best.
Libya negotiated.
Let's be precise about what happened to Libya.
In 2003, Muammar Gaddafi made a strategic decision to abandon his weapons programs, open his country to international inspectors, and normalize relations with the West.
He paid reparations for Lockerbie.
He dismantled his nuclear program.
He cooperated with Western intelligence against Al-Qaeda.
He did everything that was asked of him.
He negotiated. He complied. He normalized.
In 2011, NATO bombed Libya for seven months.
His own military turned against him with Western backing.
He was captured in a drainage pipe.
A mob sodomized him with a bayonet while Western officials watched via satellite feed.
Hillary Clinton laughed about it on camera.
"We came, we saw, he died."
The man who gave up his deterrent in exchange for promises of security and normalization died in a drainage pipe while the people who made him those promises laughed at the footage of him being sodomized with a bayonet.
And Libya, which had the highest GDP per capita in Africa, free healthcare, free education, housing subsidies, and a functioning welfare state, became a failed state with open slave markets within three years.
This is what negotiated security guarantees look like.
This is the documented outcome.
Not a fringe case. Not a misunderstanding.
The most complete, unambiguous illustration possible of what your weapons are worth the moment you give them up.
The lesson is not complicated.
The only deterrent is a deterrent you still possess.
The moment you negotiate it away, you have nothing left to negotiate with.
Ashhadu anla-illaha-ilallah wa ashhadu Ana Muhammadan rausulillah!
I bear witness that there is no God worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (S.A.W.) is the Messenger of Allah. Taqbir (Allahuqbar)
So the Nigerians who were hailing the 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 attacks on 🇮🇷 are now crying about the price of fuel?
You people think wars in oil regions are just Netflix episodes?
Plot twist: real life has consequences.
Even though you are unsuccessful in masking your Islamophobia and, I must say, your lack of even the most basic capacity for logical reasoning, I cannot resist responding to this:
1.Israel is, demographically speaking, closer to being described as a Muslim country than a Christian one. There are roughly 1.7 million Muslims there, while the Christian population is only about 180,000. There are probably more Christians in two districts of Abuja than in the whole of Israel. Yet the point here is not numbers alone but treatment. Even your imaginary co-travellers in the MAGA camp, such as Tucker Carlson, have reported on the harassment faced by Christians there, concluding that Christians in Israel are living in an “apartheid state”. So, the simplistic fantasy that Israel represents some kind of Christian civilisational front line collapses the moment it encounters reality.
2.The victims of Israeli military operations have not been Muslims alone. Palestinian Christians have also suffered the same bombardments, the same displacement, and the same loss. Indeed, one of the most prominent intellectual champions of the Palestinian cause was the late Edward Said, of blessed memory, a Palestinian-American Christian whose scholarship and activism helped shape global understanding of the conflict. So, the struggle you reduce to a crude religious caricature has, in fact, been articulated by people across faiths.
3.Your claim that Nigerian Shiites are somehow incubators of terrorism because of their perceived relationship with Iran betrays not only prejudice but astonishing ignorance. If the members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria truly possessed terrorist proclivities, you and I would probably have been having this conversation from a refugee camp in Benin Republic or Niger. They have suffered repeated massacres and severe repression, including the events surrounding the Zaria Massacre, and yet there is no credible record of them responding with terrorism against the Nigerian state. In fact, groups such as Boko Haram and ISWAP regard them as heretics and typically dislike them with even greater ferocity than they dislike Christians. So, your theory that terrorists in Nigeria draw inspiration from a sect they themselves violently despise would be laughable if it were not so revealing of the intellectual poverty behind it.
4.The truly brainwashed party in this exchange is none other than you. You have convinced yourself that identifying with the perpetrators of genocide is an act of reason simply because you dislike the religion of their victims and corpses, and that is rather unfortunate.
5.Terrorism in Nigeria does not distinguish between Muslim and Christian victims. No terrorist camp in this country spares ordinary Muslims. Mosques have been bombed. Muslim villages have been razed. Muslim clerics have been assassinated. Muslim leaders and monarchs have been assassinated, all by Boko Haram. The ideology you pretend is directed only at Christians has killed tens of thousands of Muslims as well. We are victims of the same perverted creed, whether you are willing to acknowledge it or not.
https://t.co/TsMi2FZpVO, spare us the pretence that you are speaking as a voice of reason here. What you have written is not analysis, nor courage, nor moral clarity. It cannot even qualify as bigotry dressed up in the costume of logic. You are a thoroughbred Islamophobe, and luckily you do not pretend otherwise, and I pray you activate enough brain cells to connect these dots.
The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:
NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

So I was off twitter for a while..
The reason was that I wrote another book.. 😀
This one isn't fiction, it's a guide for teens who will soon enter the real world of buying and selling, wanting and having..
It's focused on Northern teens and tied to @TruNORTH_NG's next project
