Should read: AUSTRALIA ACCUSES ISRAEL OF INTERFERENCE - Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has accused Israel of projecting what she described as a malign influence into Australia

Iran has not raped, tortured or murdered any Australian citizens, as have Israelis

"International norms" oppose genocide and the rape and torture of imprisoned hostages, which has become an Israeli norm

Australia's support and supply of weaponry to Israel is oppositional to international norms and law

[Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan @UstAbdulrahman]

We call people smart for building wealth, status, a comfortable life. Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) had a different test for intelligence, and most of what we admire fails it.

He posed a question:
كيف يكون عاقلًا من باع الجنة بما فيها بشهوة ساعة؟

"How can he be intelligent, the one who sells Paradise and all that is in it, for the desire of a single hour?"

Intelligence here is not sharpness of mind. It is accuracy of judgment. Knowing that no pleasure now is worth what it charges you forever.

And look at what we trade it for. A haram relationship. A haram income. Then we call that living.

The truly intelligent one refuses the bargain. He will not sell forever for an hour. That is why the Companions were the best of people; not by accident, but by a conscious decision they made, again and again.

Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Fawāʾid

59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.

Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.

[Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan @UstAbdulrahman]

Most marriages don't end over betrayal. They erode in small moments, both people angry at once, and neither willing to be the one who softens first. The Salaf understood this danger, and one Companion built his whole marriage around avoiding it.

Abū'd-Dardā' (رضي الله عنه) gave his wife Umm'd-Dardā' a single rule to live by:
«إذا غضبتُ فرضِّيني، وإذا غضبتِ رضَّيتُكِ، فإذا لم نكن هكذا ما أسرعَ ما نفترق»

"If I become angry, then win me back. And if you become angry, I will win you back. For if we are not like this, how quickly we would part."

Notice it runs both ways. He doesn't wait for her to repair things. He commits to being the one who mends it, and asks the same of her. Anger met with anger has only one ending.

Someone has to choose to fix it. Every time.

Ibn Ḥibbān in Rawḍat al-ʿUqalāʾ

President Ruto: I have never shed a tear at a Madaraka Day celebration, but today has been different. I feel for you, this moment, and the people of Northern Kenya. I assure you that, from now on, we will walk together shoulder to shoulder as one nation #MadarakaDay2026

🕋 بئر زمزم
بئر زمزم الموجودة داخل المسجد الحرام في مكة المكرمة يبلغ عمقها تقريبًا 30 متر (حوالي 30.5 متر).
🔹 الجزء العلوي مبني بالحجارة القديمة.
🔹 والجزء السفلي محفور في الصخر.
🔹 والماء يخرج من عدة فتحات داخلية في البئر.
سبحان الله، بئر من آلاف السنين ومازال الماء متدفق 💧

A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views.

He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult.

The lecture, “Study Less Study Smart,” contains a powerful framework.

Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. You’re still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed.

Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference.
He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into “Happy Thursday.” The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition.

This is why elaborative encoding works so well.

Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens.

His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your
behaviour, you have not actually learned it.

The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.

Omani 🇴🇲 Arab man Mr Nasir Al-Rwahi demonstrates how the Swahili language — historically spoken along the East African coast, from Maqdashu to Kongo 🟪🟩🟪 — contains a large amount of Arabic vocabulary. He shows that, to construct simple sentences such as “I am going to the market to eat sweets and drink coffee,” you can use only words of Arabic origin.

Do you know of any other examples where simple sentences in Swahili are made up entirely of Arabic-derived words?

78 years ago, 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes. Britain made it possible.

Today, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Britain made it possible.

78 years of the Nakba - and 78 years of British complicity in crimes against the Palestinian people.

A NYT article on sexual abuse against Palestinians -accurate but barely scratching the surface- is triggering hysteria in the Israeli govt not bcs of the facts, but bcs of the audience.
Apartheid Israel fears NYT readers will finally see and no longer ignore.
