كلمةٌ أخيرةٌ إلى دُعاةِ العصبيّةِ والعِرْقِ والقَبيلة

يا مَن يَحمِلُ رايةَ الجاهليّةِ في زمنِ الإسلام، يا مَن يَزِنُ الرجالَ بالأنسابِ والقبائلِ والألوانِ والألسنة، اسمَعْ قولَ مَن أُرسِلَ رحمةً للعالمين، محمدٍ ﷺ.

قال ﷺ فيمَن يَفخَرُ بدعوى الجاهليّة:

«مَنْ تَعَزَّى بِعَزَاءِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَعِضُّوهُ بِهَنِ أَبِيهِ وَلَا تَكْنُوا»

وقال ﷺ في حَجّةِ الوداعِ على مسمعِ الأممِ المُجتمعة:

«يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَلَا إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ وَاحِدٌ، وَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ وَاحِدٌ، أَلَا لَا فَضْلَ لِعَرَبِيٍّ عَلَى أَعْجَمِيٍّ، وَلَا لِعَجَمِيٍّ عَلَى عَرَبِيٍّ، وَلَا لِأَحْمَرَ عَلَى أَسْوَدَ، وَلَا أَسْوَدَ عَلَى أَحْمَرَ، إِلَّا بِالتَّقْوَى»

وقال لأبي ذرٍّ رضي الله عنه حين بَدَرَتْ منه نَخوةُ النَّسَب:

«انْظُرْ فَإِنَّكَ لَيْسَ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ أَحْمَرَ وَلَا أَسْوَدَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَفْضُلَهُ بِتَقْوَى»

وقَضى القرآنُ بما لا يَنقُضُه ناقِض (الحجرات: ١٣):

«يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ»

فانظُرْ أين وَجَّهَ النبيُّ ﷺ أشدَّ كلامِه وأصرَحَه: ما وَجَّهَه إلى العاصي المُقبِلِ على التوبة، بل إلى المُنتفِخِ بأنسابِه، المُتطاوِلِ بقبيلتِه. فأغلَظُ زَجْرٍ في السُّنّةِ إنّما ادُّخِرَ لفَخْرِ العِرْقِ والقَبيلة.

وهذا هو الداءُ الذي يَنخُرُ في جسدِ الأمّةِ اليوم. العصبيّةُ والعنصريّةُ والقوميّةُ تُمزِّقُ صفَّ المؤمنين، وتُطمِعُ فينا أعداءَنا، وتُحارِبُ الأساسَ الذي جَمَعَنا عليه الإسلام: التوحيدَ والتقوى. فما العِزُّ موروثًا في الدماء، وإنّما يُنالُ بتقوى اللهِ وحدَه.

فارجِعْ إلى السُّنّة، وإلّا فاعلَمْ أنّ زَجْرَ النبيِّ ﷺ قائمٌ عليكَ لا تَملِكُ له رَدًّا. واللهُ أعلم.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

US sanctions.
Here it what you need to know.
In the clearest words I have on the matter.

[Mohammed Hijab @mohammed_hijab]

كثير من العرب العنصريين ينعتونني بـ"النيغر" و"العبد" فقط لأنني مصري وأحمل حوالي 20 بالمائة من الدنا الإفريقي جنوب الصحراء. أسألكم بكل صدق ومباشرة:

هل تعتقدون حقاً أنكم أحرار أكثر من شعوب إفريقيا جنوب الصحراء؟ قد يكونون أفقر مادياً، لكن من الذي يواجه قيوداً أكبر عندما يريد أن يعبر عن رأيه بحرية في السياسة أو الدين، أنتم أم هم؟

كم قاعدة عسكرية أمريكية توجد في بلدانهم مقارنة ببلدانكم؟ من الذي يحتاج أكثر إلى حماية "الرجل الأبيض" واستجداء رضاه، أنتم أم هم؟

الشعوب السوداء، خاصة في إفريقيا، من أكثر الناس تواضعاً على وجه الأرض. وقد حذرنا النبي ﷺ من أن يكون في القلب مثقال ذرة من الكبر. قد تظنون أن ما أنعم الله به عليكم من موارد طبيعية يجعلكم أفضل من غيركم، لكن هذا وهم. إنما التفاضل بالتقوى فقط.

أنا أفضل أن أكون 100 بالمائة أسوداً وخالياً من هذا الكبر، على أن أشبه العنصريين منكم بأي شك

Scholars warned us a long time ago about Elon Musk's IPO & excessive wealth accumulation.

No this is not a commie post. And no it's not haram to gain wealth and be rich.

But it's disliked to try to amass massive amounts of wealth because of the injustice you have to do to get there.

وكرهوا إكثار جمع المال ** خوف خروجه عن الحلال

"They disliked excessive accumulation of wealth, because it leads to leaving the lawful."

ie leads to being unjust in amassing that wealth.

And the SpaceX IPO that just happened is a prime example of that.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I am more than familiar with Palestine history during the British occupation -its crimes and legacy - and yet. Watching #Palestine36 was a gut-wrenching experience.

Gentle as it can be, Palestinian storytelling cannot hide the horror of the crimes Palestinians have endured.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

One for @bbclaurak who asked on air "Why would Israel lie?"
A leak has revealed the IDF actually has a programme to train its people in the “fundamentals of psychological warfare, propaganda, deception, legitimacy and public diplomacy." https://t.co/yW2WeZakYA

Imagine media coverage if Muslim volunteers were doing fake police patrols to fight islamophobia

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Sky News ran a segment about how a Jewish volunteer group is on the streets fighting "record levels of antisemitism", and zero antisemitism occurs anywhere in the entire segment. It's just a group of thugs cruising around intimidating non-Jews by impersonating law enforcement.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

For the past two and a half years, the UK government has armed a genocide as it was livestreamed around the world.

Now, some politicians are pretending they have always been against the crimes they enabled.

Too little, too late. Your complicity will never, ever be forgotten.

Hussam Ebu Safieh, "İsrail'in rehineler için ölüm cezası" ile öldürülecek olan Filistinli doktorlardan biridir (diğer 95 doktor arasında).

Onu öldürmelerine izin verme.
Bunu yeniden yayınlayın.

Our designers built Goldsand's website and app with the mindset of reviving beautiful Islamic design in the new age. The story behind it:

Horse: From the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: "Goodness is in the forelocks of horses until the Day of Judgement." He ﷺ also called horses kept for sustenance as "a shelter from poverty." George Washington famously rode an Arabian horse, the breed first gifted to America by Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II!

Cat: The Prophet ﷺ told of a woman condemned for denying her cat food and water. A reminder of our fiscal responsibility to all in our care.

Hudhud: The hoopoe bird Prophet-King Solomon. Proof that wealth and righteousness aren't opposites, and in the right hands, wealth becomes a tool for good.

We have secured access to licensed payment rails in the US, EU, and Canada to become the stablecoin settlement and yield layer for emerging markets.

Billions of people are financially underserved.

We aim to fix that.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

the uk has revoked my visa as well. all at the behest of israel. the west is betraying "liberal values" for a genocidal fascist foreign government. soon we will all become israel.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

The British government is saying they're banning me because I am "a serious risk to the public order" due to my criticism of Israel.

They say that my charge that Israel controls the American government through donations to 94% of Congress, while factual, is antisemitic nonetheless. Don't know if facts will soon be banned in Britain.

I didn't get banned for criticizing the UK, but for criticizing Israel. They broke the irony record by saying it was because I said Israel might control other governments. I wonder if they're going to ban themselves.

Think about it - if I had said that the Israeli government controls the British government so thoroughly that they'll ban someone from coming to the UK just for criticizing Israel, they would have said that was an antisemitic statement. This is absolutely Kafkaesque.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Not just the media. Some vile academics like @NAChristakis made sure to transform Palestinians into monsters & got rewarded with membership in some academy of science.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

[Tariq | Goldsand @thesubmitter_]

I’ve been waiting for this moment.

We just overhauled the design of our app. It’s finally starting to feel like a REAL alternative to savings accounts. Our early access users are loving it.

But per our bar of Islamic design, this is just getting started. We’re aiming for Alhambra levels of exquisiteness, insha Allah!

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Nothing to see here, just Israel live streaming its war crimes.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is an official government account in a democracy.

This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.
