@farazaamir23@usman11_ How do you know what is in peoples hearts ?
People go and they get attached and they go again and again
Our prophet ﷺ also recommended going to Umrah as often as possible — so you’re suggestion is going against the sunnah
@usman11_ It’s an unpopular and odd view - most of the people that have gone to umrah have been multiple times — they are building infrastructure to cater for the influx of people
Umrah is not fard so there should be no restrictions
I’m so in love with this saying, “If you love sleeping, start waking up for Tahajjud; If you love money, start giving more charity; If you love listening to music, start listening to Quran. If you love food, start fasting; because your love for Dunya should not outweigh your love for Allah.
Waking up for Fajr is hard.
But the Prophet ﷺ said something about the person who misses it
that most of us have never been told.
It's not a punishment.
It's actually a sign.
And once you know what it means,
you'll never sleep through it again.
As it is Mawlid season, and people, once again, are demanding proofs for its permissibility, I urge you to have a read of this article.

@flamenco2299 Sunni also commemorate the martyrdom of Hussain RA
We also fast 2 days this month — and I’ve done so for years
So where is this bike coming from ? Is it a Wahhabi thing ?
If you have parents who are 75 years and above, please read this carefully.
At that age, something quietly begins to change in them. Their bodies slow down, their energy fades, and the world they once understood starts moving faster than they can keep up with. The people they grew up with are gradually disappearing, their friends are fewer, their strength is not what it used to be, and the house that was once full of responsibility slowly becomes quiet.
Many of them begin to feel invisible.
They may repeat the same stories, ask the same questions, complain about little things, or become more sensitive than they used to be. What many people interpret as stubbornness is often loneliness. What looks like irritation is sometimes fear. They are slowly realizing that life is entering its final chapters.
At that stage, they no longer need us for money as much as they need us for presence.
A short phone call means more than we think. Sitting with them and listening to stories we have heard many times before means more than we realize. Being patient when they forget things means more than we understand.
One day the phone will ring and it will be the news we all try to avoid. When that day comes, the money you were chasing will still be there, the meetings you attended will still continue, but the opportunity to sit with them one more time will be gone forever.
If your parents are 75 and above, you are living in borrowed time with them.
Use it wisely.
Have you ever noticed that the worst people keep getting promoted?
You’re sitting in a meeting thinking, How is this person in charge?
That’s not bad luck. That’s a system working exactly as intended.
Here’s the truth:
A lot of workplaces don’t promote the most capable people; they promote the least threatening ones.
The people who move up fastest aren’t always driving results.
They are the ones who keep leadership comfortable.
- They don’t challenge decisions.
- They don’t surface problems too clearly.
- They make things feel calm, even when nothing is actually improving.
Real competence creates friction.
When you are genuinely good at your job, you expose gaps, weak processes, bad decisions, and poor leadership.
And that makes people above you uncomfortable.
So instead of developing strong leaders, many organizations quietly sideline them.
What gets rewarded instead is loyalty, predictability, and the ability to manage optics.
Once that pattern starts, every layer protects the one above it.
Promotions stop being about skill and start being about safety.
And over time, the people doing the real work either burn out from carrying everyone else or they leave.
- That’s how mediocrity becomes a culture.
- That’s why leadership can feel hollow.
- And that’s why, when you look around and wonder why so many managers seem unqualified, the answer isn’t random.
It’s structural.
They didn’t fail upward by accident.
They were rewarded for not rocking the boat.
🇺🇸 MUSLIM PROFESSOR SHUTS DOWN CNN QUESTION ABOUT ISLAM AND VIOLENCE
CNN tried to press a Muslim professor with the classic “does Islam promote violence?” setup, but he flipped the whole narrative and left both hosts speechless.
He said Islam, like any religion, doesn’t promote peace or violence, it reflects what people bring into it. Violent people make violent religion. Peaceful people don’t.
Then he dropped facts: there are Buddhist monks in Myanmar killing women and kids. Christianity exists in countries where female genital mutilation is common. Religion’s not the root, humans are.
He went off on how it's ridiculous to blame all of Islam for Saudi Arabia’s laws, when Muslim-majority countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Turkey give women rights and even elected female presidents.
If CNN was hoping for a yes or no answer, they got schooled instead.
Islam doesn't promote violence or peace.
It's just a religion and like every religion in the world, it depends on what you bring to it.
