A single bird has just accomplished one of the most extraordinary feats in the animal kingdom — flying nearly one-third of the way around the Earth without stopping to eat, drink, or rest.
The record-breaker is a five-month-old Bar-tailed Godwit that flew nonstop from Alaska to Tasmania, Australia. Covering 8,425 miles in just over 11 days, it set a new record for the longest nonstop flight ever documented in any bird.
What makes this journey even more astonishing is that it was the young godwit’s very first migration. The entire route took place over the open Pacific Ocean, with no chance to land. Despite that, the bird navigated thousands of miles of featureless water with pinpoint accuracy.
This incredible endurance is made possible by remarkable physiological adaptations. Before takeoff, the godwit packs on enormous fat reserves — nearly half its body weight — to fuel the flight. At the same time, many of its internal organs, including parts of the digestive system, temporarily shrink to lighten the load and maximize energy efficiency.
Unlike many seabirds that depend heavily on gliding, this godwit flapped continuously for the entire journey, battling shifting winds and weather systems the whole way.
Researchers at the Pūkōroro Auckland Shorebird Centre say discoveries like this are transforming our understanding of migratory birds. Their astonishing endurance, navigation skills, and energy management demonstrate biological capabilities that can match — and in some ways surpass — even the most advanced human engineering.
🚨🇮🇳 INDIAN MEDIA HAVE GONE MAD!
Indian media is destroying their own channels, fighting with each other and crying hard over the news that Pakistan stopped the Iran–US war.
These people wanted to ISOLATE Pakistan, but now are crying after Pakistan's success 🤣🤣
.@SahilAdeem ka simple sa question @hishamelahi and others... watch this
سوال ملکوں کا نہیں، اصول کا ہے۔ جب ایک مسلمان غیر مسلم کے ہاتھوں مسلمان کے قتل میں ساتھ دے، تو حکم کیا ہے؟
اصل مسئلہ جواب سے بھاگنا نہیں... حق بات پر واضح فتویٰ دینا ہے۔
@Muhammad_Owaiis Well done. People must hold Masajid's leaders accountable. When someone is oppressed, instead of standing for justice, people first look at the victim’s sect before even offering a prayer.
Religious leaders bear the most responsibility for the Ummah's decline.
A cleric was preaching that we should stay away from worldly matters. Hearing this, this man stood up and confronted him publicly—reminding everyone of Gaza & Iran
The youth of the ummah will not see Islam caged in mosques — we want to see Sharia, Khilafah & Jihad!

Apple care keeps persisting its a software issue, but with no resolution even in beta , I think I would be out of warranty before its get fixed. Please change my device as it has caused me issues loosing important phone calls on numerous occasions.
4. The service provider also reset my phone on their system, but the problem persisted.
5. unpaired watch still no hope.
6. Turned off the WiFi calling feature to iPad and any available devices, but issue still persisted.
7. Updated to iOS 26 public beta 7
Troubleshooting I’ve already tried:
1. Manually restored the phone using iTunes.
2. Removed case and screen protector (using the device bare).
3. Had the phone checked by an Apple Authorized Service Provider: all sensor diagnostics came back normal.
@Asma_Muqadas__ Didn’t say that in translation, fallacy of peoples understanding. Moreover it’s like impure/evil individual are for impure/evil. Similarly pure/good individuals are for pure/good.
It’s a moral warning not a divine rule.
