Brother Amin Abdullah was the guard at the mosque in San Diego for years. He was instrumental in stopping the shooters from reaching the children today. This was his final post on FB. On these holiest days, may Allah have mercy on him and accept him as a martyr. Ameen

Bucks seriously considered a Heat package centered around Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, players + multiple picks/swaps for Giannis Antetokoumnpo, per @ShamsCharania

Ownership ultimately decided to hold onto Giannis Antetokounmpo for a better summer deal and informed Miami on Feb. 5 they were out.

A tech founder and YC-affiliated advisor told me to "figure out how to keep your coreligionists from machine gunning people," called @mehdirhasan a slur, and told me to "get the fuck out of my mentions" for pushing back.

Meet Peter Kazanjy (@Kazanjy).

And this isn't a one-off. His account is full of posts like "Islam's encouragement of cousin marriage makes their populations retarded" and repeated claims that Muslims engage in terrorism at 60x the rate of the general population.

This is someone who teaches at YC, HBS, and Columbia. People who hold positions of influence in our industry should be held to a basic standard of decency.

pep rally for taraweeh is crazy. just pray dude.

[GT Masjid Dawah Cent @gtdawahcenter]

This is not Badr. There is no comparison.

Badr was a testimony of faith, sacrifice, and sincerity of the Companions. What’s happening in Times Square is about clout.

Tarawih is an act of worship and should not be turned into a social media spectacle in hype driven environments.

So they are lying by saying they sighted it😂😂😂

[Ahmadulbadawy AbdulRaheem @Ahmadulbadawy]

They are not lying; they simply moved from one valid interpretation of Shahada (physical) to another valid interpretation (astronomical presence).

I will explain, because you requested it.

To an outsider or a scientist, it looks like a lie. However, from a theological and administrative perspective, it is a matter of jurisprudence (Fiqh) and the definition of what constitutes the witnessing of a crescent.

The core of the misunderstanding lies in the Quranic verse: “So whoever among you witnesses/sights (shahida) the month, he should fast it” (2:185).

In linguistic and legal terms, the word shuhud (witnessing/sighting) is an example of دلالة ظنيّة (Speculative/Non-Definitive Indication), i.e: the word "witness/sight" in the verse is open to multiple interpretations based on ijtihad.

For this reason, Scholars have historically applied three different interpretations to what it means to "witness/sight" the crescent:

1- Shahada of the Eye: This is the physical sighting of the crescent (whether with naked eyes or advanced optical aid)

2- Shahada of Presence: This argues that if you are present in your city (not traveling) when the month begins, you must fast.

3- Shahada of Taqdir (calculation/estimation): This supports using the birth of the new moon (conjunction) as the witness.

Saudi Arabia uses the Umm al-Qura calendar for its daily administrative life. This calendar is not based on "will it be seen?" but rather "has the new moon been born and is it present in the sky?"

When the official moon-sighting committees go out and the sky is cloudy or the moon is too low to be seen, the authorities often default to the Umm al-Qura calculation to maintain national consistency. In their view, if the moon is astronomically present (the birth has occurred), the condition for the new month has been met; applying the Shahada of Taqdir.

The Umm al-Qura criteria considers the month to have begun if the moon sets after the sun at the coordinates of Mecca, even if only by a few seconds. In such cases, the moon has been witnessed technically, even if it is invisible to the eyes/binoculars.

The data for today (February 17, 2026) in Mecca demonstrates exactly how this technical sighting works:

- Conjunction (Birth of the Moon): 3:01 PM (Mecca Time).
- Sunset: 5:52 PM in Tumair.
- Moonset: 5:54 PM in Tumair.
- The "Lag Time": 2 minutes.

To an astronomer, these 2 minutes are irrelevant because the moon’s illumination is too low (less than 1%) to be seen.

However, to the Saudi Supreme Court, the condition of presence has been met. Since the moon remained above the horizon for two minutes after the sun disappeared, it is "witnessed" or "sighted" by calculation (Taqdir).

Thank You.

Starting a new series on X called #GhostThreads.

It’s a podcast where I meet with guests from the tech/founder space and we write out a post together sharing insights from their journeys and areas of expertise with the goal of providing listeners with actionable advice.

Think of it like pair programming but for writing X posts.

Made a tool for people to post duas and for others to make them.

https://t.co/q9S7wzklZm

Had a cousin tell me a story of him bumping into someone before going for Hajj and the person telling him "I've been looking for someone going to make me this dua" so I decided to make this tool for anyone who needs it. A list of duas made by people all over the world for others to make for them.

Check it out. Make some duas. Answer some duas. Give some feedback. Share it along 🙏

If you believe dogs are dirty, don’t move to a country or a community where the culture includes keeping dogs as pets, and expect them to stop walking their dogs.

If you require quiet time for prayers, don’t go to places that aren’t quiet, and expect them to be quiet for you.

If you believe alcohol should be forbidden, don’t move to a society that allows alcohol, and expect them to stop drinking for you.

If you believe women should dress a certain way, don’t move to a country and expect women to change the way they dress, just for you.

If you believe music is evil, don’t move to a country that enjoys music as part of their culture, and expect them to stop just for you.

Moving to a new country, and learning to live amongst people who keep dogs as pets, and listen to music and dance, and have loud amusement parks and beer and wine, and women who choose for themselves how they dress - or who have any other parts of their culture that differ from yours - that’s immigration.

Expecting them to change, and trying to force them to change to accommodate you? That’s invasion.
