[Mehdi (e/λ) @BetterCallMedhi]

a nuclear scientist just got killed in an airstrike in Iran and honestly i need to talk about this because western media won't & i think most people don't understand what they're looking at

as i've been explaining for weeks now in multiple threads, Israel through Mossad has been assassinating Iranian scientists for over a decade and i genuinely think the Fakhrizadeh case is one of the most terrifying operations in modern intelligence history

this man was killed in 2020 by a remote controlled ai-powered machine gun smuggled into Iran in pieces over several months, the whole thing weighed a ton, it was mounted on a pickup truck on the side of the road and operated via satellite from a Mossad command center 1 600 km away, 15 bullets fired in under 60 seconds, the AI compensated for the satellite delay the recoil and the speed of the car in real time, that's how far they're willing to go to eliminate Iranian brainpower one by one

but here's what i find fascinating, the assassinations didn't break the ecosystem because it runs too deep, so they escalated, US just bombed Iran's university of science and technology, one of the oldest and most prestigious in the country and if you've been following me you already know why this matters

these are the same institutions that took Iran from 58th to 4th in the world in nanotechnology in 20y that produce the engineers who designed the Arvand rocket engine and the maneuverable reentry vehicles, that trained the physicists behind the MRBM to IRBM leap to 4 000 km on Diego Garcia, i've been writing about this scientific ecosystem for years and everything happening right now is the logical continuation of what i already laid out

and i think that's the part nobody wants to say out loud, this war was never about nukes or regime change, i believe it's about dismantling the only sovereign state in the Middle East and i mean the ONLY ONE

look at every other country in the region, Saudi Arabia outsources its entire defense to the Pentagon & couldn't fight a war in Yemen for 8y without American logistics and still lost, the UAE bought F-35s in exchange for normalizing with Israel, Qatar hosts the largest US air base in the region at Al Udeid, Bahrain hosts the US Fifth fleet, Kuwait, Iraq Jordan are military protectorates in everything but name none of these countries design manufacture or deploy their own weapons systems, none of them have an indigenous defense industry, their sovereignty ends where the next Lockheed Martin contract begins, if Washington calls tomorrow and says stop they stop because they literally cannot function without american hardware

Iran is the ONLY country in that entire region that built everything from scratch under 40y of total embargo because NOBODY would sell them anything and that's exactly why they're the target

they know the only way to stop this machine is to kill the people who build it…and when killing them one by one wasn't enough to crack an ecosystem too deep to break, they started bombing the universities directly and i'll say this as clearly as i can

you don't bomb a university when you're winning a war, you bomb a university when you've realized the real threat was never the arsenal it was the intelligence behind it and you have no idea how to stop it

Heads-up: Pre-market so-called “news” or “Truth” is often just a setup for profit-taking. Basically, it’s a reverse indicator.

Do the opposite: If they pump it, short it. If they dump it, go long.

See something tomorrow? You know the drill.

He resigned from the U.N. and ended his diplomatic career to leak the fact that they’re preparing for a nuclear weapon to bomb Iran. We’re not doing enough to stop this.

“The judges in this country should be ashamed of themselves. Time and time again we have gone to the judiciary. But they have sold their souls for their paid personal privileges. They have sold their integrity. They know they cannot break me, so they turn to my wife. How they can allow this inhumane treatment to Bushra BiBi, simply to blackmail me. She spends 24 hours a day in isolation, except for 30 minutes with me per week - and even that is often ignored. It is unislamic to harm women, children and the elderly - and their motives are plain and clear. The judges are responsible for the justice in a society. They should be ashamed of themselves.”

“And the Romans lost to Persians in Battle of Carrhae in 53 BCE. At that moment, the mighty Roman Empire marched east convinced that Persia would collapse under the weight of Roman power.

At Carrhae, the Persian army was commanded by the brilliant general Surena, who understood exactly how to exploit Roman weaknesses.

Instead of engaging in a conventional battle, the Parthian cavalry surrounded the Roman formations and unleashed wave after wave of arrows.

Whenever the archers began to run low on ammunition, camel caravans waiting behind the battlefield delivered fresh supplies. This logistical innovation ensured that the barrage never stopped

Roman soldiers found themselves trapped in a nightmare. Their famous shield formations were designed to withstand brief missile attacks before closing with the enemy.

But at Carrhae the arrows kept coming for hours. Shields were pinned to soldiers’ hands, armour was punctured, and the Roman army gradually lost cohesion.

Crassus had assumed the Persians would eventually exhaust their arrows and be forced into close combat. They never did.

At the end of the battle, thousands of Romans lay dead, thousands more were captured, and Crassus himself was killed during a failed negotiation.

The defeat shattered the myth of Roman invincibility and established Persia as the only power capable of consistently resisting Rome.”

History is always contextual one must learn lessons from it !

*زکوۃ کی فضیلت و اہمیت (۲)*
قرآن مجید میں زکوٰۃ کی اہمیت بیان کرتے ہوئے اللہ تعالیٰ نے زکوٰۃ کا ذکر دیگر عبادات کے ساتھ بھی کیا ہے۔ ارشاد باری تعالیٰ ہے :’’تمہارے دوست اللہ اور اس کا رسول اور ایمان والے کہ نماز قائم کرتے ہیں اور زکوٰۃ دیتے ہیں اور اللہ کے حضور جھکے ہوئے ہیں ‘‘۔(سوۃالمائدہ )۔

اور جو لوگ زکوٰۃادا کرتے ہیں اللہ تعالیٰ انہیں اجر عظیم عطا فرماتا ہے۔سورۃ البقرہ میں ارشاد باری تعالیٰ ہے :’’ اور نماز قائم کرو اور زکوٰۃ دو اور جو بھلائی تم اپنے لیے آگے بھیجو گے اسے اللہ تعالیٰ کے پاس پائو گے۔ بیشک اللہ تمہارے اعمال کو دیکھنے والا ہے ‘‘۔

سورۃ فاطر میں اللہ تعالیٰ ارشاد فرماتا ہے : ’’ بیشک جو لوگ اللہ کی کتاب پڑھتے ہیں نماز قائم کرتے ہیں اور جو کچھ ہم نے انہیں دیاہے اس میں سے چھپ کر اور کھلم کھلا خرچ کرتے ہیں وہ ایسی تجارت کے امیدوار ہیں جو کبھی نقصان نہیں دے گی ‘‘۔

سورۃ المومنون میں اللہ تعالیٰ ارشاد فرماتا ہے :’’بیشک وہ مومن کامیاب ہو گئے جو اپنی نماز میں خشوع و خضوع اختیار کرتے ہیں ، جو لغو باتوں سے دور رہتے ہیں اور جو زکوٰۃ ادا کرتے ہیں ‘‘۔

جولوگ اللہ تعالیٰ کی رضا کے لیے زکوٰۃ ادا کرتے ہیں اللہ تعالیٰ ان کے مال میں برکت عطا فرماتا ہے۔ ارشاد باری تعالیٰ ہے :’’ اور جو تم خیرات دواللہ کی رضا چاہتے ہوئے تو اس کا دوگنا اجر پاؤ گے ‘‘۔ ( سورۃ الروم )۔

حضرت معاذ بن جبل رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کو نبی کریم ﷺ نے جب یمن بھیجا تو فرمایا انہیں بتائو کہ اللہ نے ان پر زکوٰۃ فرض کی ہے جو ان کے مالداروں سے لے کر ان کے غریبو ں میں تقسیم کی جائے گی۔

زکوٰۃ نہ دینے والوں کے لیے وعید : جو لوگ اپنے مال کی زکوٰۃ ادا نہیں کرتے اور اسے جمع کر کے رکھتے ہیں ان کے لیے قرآن و حدیث میں سخت وعید ہے۔ سورۃ التوبہ میں اللہ تعالیٰ ارشاد فرماتا ہے : ’’اور وہ لوگ جو سونے اور چاندی کو جمع کر کے رکھتے ہیں اور اسے اللہ کی راہ میں خرچ نہیں کرتے انہیں دردناک عذاب کی بد خبری سنا دو۔ جس دن وہ (مال ) جہنم کی آگ میں تپایا جائے گا ، پھر اس سے ان کی پیشانیوں ، پہلوئوں اورپیٹھوں کو داغا جائے گا (اور ان سے کہا جائے گا ) یہ وہ مال ہے جسے تم نے اپنے لیے جمع کیے رکھا سو اب اپنے اس مال کا مزا چھکو ، جسے (بڑی چاہت سے) جمع کر کے رکھتے تھے۔

حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے مروی ہے کہ قیامت کے دن زکوٰۃ ادا نہ کرنے والوں سے سخت حساب لیا جائے گا اور دردناک عذاب دیا جائے گا۔(المعجم الصغیر)۔

[Mosharraf Zaidi 🇵🇰 @mosharrafzaidi]

There is no defending the sentences handed out to former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife in the Toshakhana case.

This is classic, textbook political persecution. This one lacks even the thin veneer of substance that may exist in cases like cipher.

This one is garbage from start to finish—procedurally, substantively and politically.

The cycle continues.

May Allah protect 🇵🇰 🤲🏽.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.
