They dropped so many bombs on Gaza and released over 30 million tonnes of CO2. There's also the data centers, one of them reportedly releasing 23 atomic bombs worth of heat into the atmosphere. We are also razing forests faster than we can regrow them.
The Muslim world’s financial “backwardness” is actually proof that classical Islamic scholars were the most sophisticated macroeconomic thinkers of the pre-modern era and the West accidentally proved it in 2008.
The prohibition of riba was never primarily a moral injunction against greed alone rather It was a systemic design principle to prevent the decoupling of money from productive economic activity. When you ban interest-bearing debt as the engine of capital accumulation, you force wealth to remain tethered to real assets, real partnerships, real risk-sharing.
The entire 2008 financial crisis was a textbook demonstration of what happens when you build an economy on the exact mechanism Islamic jurisprudence spent centuries arguing against: the multiplication of money through money, completely detached from underlying value. CDOs, mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps: pure riba architecture collapsing under its own abstraction.
Islamic banks largely weathered 2008 better than conventional ones because the structural rules prohibited the specific instruments that caused the collapse.
The insane part: Western economists spent the 20th century mocking Islamic finance as a medieval relic. Then they spent the 21st century slowly reinventing through “stakeholder capitalism,” ESG investing, and calls to link executive pay to long-term performance, the core intuition that capital must carry risk to be legitimate.
Fuqaha in the 9th century called it. No gain without exposure to loss.
They just didn’t have the PowerPoint.

"**Eye-Opening Reality — A Lesson for African Leaders**
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad says:
In 2004, Malaysia purchased 8 F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets from the United States, which were among the most advanced aircraft at the time. The value of this deal exceeded $640 million.
After receiving the aircraft, Malaysia formed a team of experts and engineers to conduct a detailed study of their features and combat capabilities.
👈 The Malaysian experts discovered that the aircraft was transmitting every flight's information to a US military base, such as:
- Flight altitude
- Speed
- Location
- Route
- Mission details
- And the pilot's communication with the ground control room
Not only that, but the aircraft's operating system and autopilot feature could also be controlled from the US base. This means that if a US officer on the ground simply presses a button, the aircraft's route can be changed, it can be crashed, or even the target of its attack can be altered.
When Malaysia tried to modify the aircraft's operating system, the United States and manufacturer McDonnell Douglas strongly objected. They even threatened to stop supplying parts and maintenance, and impose restrictions.
Even when Malaysia requested specific parts to activate certain capabilities of the aircraft, the company rejected that as well.
Ultimately, Malaysia realized that it had bought aircraft that could not be used in actual combat without US approval.
This issue is not limited to Malaysia alone; many Arab and Muslim countries face the same reality.
**The lesson is clear:**
Until a nation develops its own defense technology, it will remain dependent on others."

Someone said that
"the regret you feel at the end of Ramadan for not making the most out of it might be a reflection of the regret you will feel in your grave when you realise you could've done more in your life."
It reminds us of the ayah that goes
"My Lord send me back"
Insane framing.
He was anally gang-raped.
He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used.
There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it.
Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera).
He also had 7 broken ribs and other injuries as well.
After it happened, Israelis staged multiple large protests in the streets. Not because they believe these soldiers did anything wrong, but because they were infuriated that the soldiers were arrested for anally gang-raping a Palestinian on camera.
These protests weren’t just random people. They included multiple high ranking Knesset members (their Congress) who defended the anal gang/rapists.
They didn’t stop there. They went after the lawyer who leaked the video. She was publicly smeared, was forced to resign, and was arrested.
And now the anal gang-rapists who were caught on camera have had their charges dropped. They didn’t win in court. They weren’t somehow exonerated. The charges were completely and indefensibly dropped. The Jerusalem Post reports that there was sufficient evidence to take this to trial.
This is part of a larger pattern of torture and impunity. NYT and many other major outlets have extensively detailed the abuses at the Sde Teiman torture factory. NYT reported that Prisoners lose 30+ pounds, a nurse was anally raped by a metal rod, another man was raped by a dog, and another was anally raped by a fiery hit rod until he died. Yes, the NYT reported all of that. I’ll share sources in the replies. Torture and sexual assault are commonplace at Sde Teiman, and many prisoners die in the process.
The UN concluded that rape from IDF soldiers is so commonplace that it constitutes official “strategy of war”.
And of course these monsters virtually never face jail time. Because Israelis by and large don’t have any problem with any of it.
This is just what their society does.
They torture Palestinians.

Why is this happening?
1) A lot of people keep or spend their cash for something else instead of restocking their groceries, because they waited until 31 Aug
2) When the date come, everybody rushed to grab their stuffs. Resulting 2-3 hours Q at the counter, then the system crashed.
3) Rage
5 days into the RM100 SARA system:
-> System down for the first two days
-> Some supermarkets faced long queues
-> People had to pay out of their own pocket
-> Those that are unwilling / unable to pay left their groceries behind.
There are trolleys and baskets everywhere, eggs spilling on the floor, rice bags, and cooking oil bottles left behind.
The mess looks like a robbery just occurred. 😭
