I don't know who you are, but thank you for standing outside my son's Islamic school to let him know he is welcome in your America

[Zabihah @zabihah]

Salams, and wishing you the best in these last 10 days of Ramadan!

We created Zabihah way back in 1998 so that we could power the halal food revolution. Since then we've served millions of Halal foodies around the world with the best halal food nearby.

We've now rewritten everything from scratch and plan to introduce several new features we've been pondering for years now. Stay tuned!

@zabihah @Replit Wow - this is great! I’m going to be using it.

[Zabihah @zabihah]

After years of building Zabihah into the leading global platform for halal discovery, we’re taking the next step in our evolution — and it’s a major one.

Zabihah is merging with @RiverAppHQ, a rapidly growing fintech infrastructure company focused on compliant, cross-border payments. Zabihah will become the brand & gateway to the halal economy — powered by River’s infrastructure.

As part of this merger, Arman Khwaja is joining River as Co-Founder & Chief Growth Officer, and @shahed will lead Zabihah’s transition into a halal payments platform within River.

Why River? River is scaling fast — processing tens of millions in annualized volume, growing 550% this year, and already working with governments, telecoms, and platforms to:

- Replace informal hawala systems
- Power Shariah-compliant remittances
- Enable digital wallets at global scale

The River team includes founders of category-defining companies and is backed by former leaders from Venmo, Brex, and Deel — who are not just advisors, but also investors.

Why Zabihah? Because trust matters. Because reach matters. Because building for the global Muslim market requires both.

Together, we’re building the world’s first end-to-end halal commerce ecosystem — from discovery to delivery to remittance. And we’re just getting started.

Let’s build the future of halal fintech — together.

@arblauvelt Well done!

If a $500 drone can have a “return to home” feature, perhaps a $80M jet should have that too

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

JUST IN: Footage of the debris field of the F-35 jet has been released after it was located in a field in Williamsburg County, South Carolina.

The crash site was about 80 miles from Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina.

The F-35 fighter jet appeared to run through a group of trees before crashing down in the field.

In 2019, concerns were raised by the Pentagon of the possibility that the F-35 could be hacked.

It’s still unclear what caused the crash…
