The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
All Arab nations aligning themselves too closely with the US must take a lesson from Qatar: their sovereignty is not immune, and a rogue state like Israel can strike them at any time.

I worry that as Muslims, we will grow numb to sin and lose all sense of shame for breaking Allah's laws, to the point where anyone who follows them or upholds them will seem extreme.
The wives of Prophets Nuh and Lut lost their Iman in the best of environments [66:10], and Aasiya, the wife of Fir'own gained her Iman in the worst of environments [66:11]. It is the state of your heart that matters. Be its careful watcher at every moment. Ask Allah for strength.
The Inscription that Mentions King Abraha.
Most likely this was written two decades before the 'Incident of the Elephant' and the attack on Makkah (i.e., around 550 CE).

For the Urdu speakers: did Ibn Abbās (r) speak some Urdu?!?!
Well, obviously not. But he did speak phrases of Farsī which are now also Urdu. In interpreting 2:96, which mentions ‘alf sanah’ [1000 years], he said: “…this is like the non-Arabs say: ‘hazār sāl’!!” 😃
@AJIOLife Why is your service so shitty. I have still not received a resolution to my complaint even after multiple complaints through multiple channels ..... Definitely no one should use the app ... The app should be blocked #ajio
@AJIOLife
Have been trying to get a refund for the last 10 days but @AJIOLife has not done anything.Your customer care executives repeatedly disconnect the call after takes ages to answer. The email customer care support is also supremely useless since they dont reply.
