A factory owner in Ashulia, Bangladesh, wanted to build a mosque for his workers. He gave the commission to a Bangladeshi architect. Not an imported name. Not a foreign firm. A local architect who understood the land, the climate, and the culture she was building for.

In 2025, Time Magazine named it one of the greatest places in the world, the first Bangladeshi building to ever appear on that list.

The entire structure is one material. One colour. Pink-pigmented concrete, perforated with small rectangular voids that filter light into the prayer hall the way hanging lanterns did in old mosques. A dome floats unsupported over the circular prayer space. The high plinth references the Bhiti, the earthen mound that Bangladeshi homes have been built upon for centuries in the deltaic floodplain. The building knows where it comes from because the architect did.

Across Africa, clients with the same resources make a different call. Foreign firms. Imported aesthetics. Buildings that could exist anywhere. The brief gets fulfilled. The opportunity gets wasted.

Trusting a local architect with his mother’s name just made global history. That should mean something to us.

I am grateful to the NBPA for advocating on my behalf and to the NBA for their fair decision. It was so important to me to be present for the birth of my daughter in December and I appreciate Mark, Jeanie, Rob, JJ, and the entire Lakers organization for fully supporting me and allowing me to travel to be there. This season has been so special to me because of what my teammates and I have been able to accomplish, and I am honored to have the opportunity to be considered for the league’s end-of-season awards.

I'm too old to know what a "torrent" is, so I use the 'intitle:"index.of"' trick to find all my media.

You break into all sorts of abandoned web pages, ftp sites, etc. It's like the "Morrowind" of file sharing.

Do the jinns fast with us?

This is one brilliant question I love. And the short, direct answer is yes, the believing ones among them absolutely do. But for proper analysis, let us break down the intellectual and theological proofs behind this so we can all learn from it.

In Islamic jurisprudence, Jinns and humans share a very unique category. Out of all creation, we are the only two beings classified as Mukallaf, meaning morally accountable entities with free will. Because they have free will, the exact same pillars of Islam apply to them. Allah says in Surah Ad-Dhariyat (51:56):

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me."

Scholars of Tafseer explain that this worship encompasses all fundamental obligations, including the fast.

People often get confused because of the famous Hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari that says when Ramadan enters, the devils are chained (وَسُلْسِلَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ). The logical question is, if they are chained, how can they fast? You just have to understand the taxonomy. "Jinn" is just the general name of the race. Just like humans, you have Muslims, Christians, atheists, and outright evil rebels among them.

The ones locked up in Ramadan are the Shayateen, specifically the Maradah (مَرَدَةِ الشَّيَاطِينِ), which are the most stubborn and rebellious ones. The ordinary, believing Muslim Jinns are completely free and they fast right alongside us.

To cement our analysis, let’s also learn classical books, particularly the magnum opus on this topic. "Akaam al-Marjan fi Ahkam al-Jaan" by Badr al-Din al-Shibli. He, alongside Ibn Taymiyyah in his Majmu' al-Fatawa, establishes a clear consensus. They noted that the Jinn are strictly mandated with the exact same Shari'ah as humans. When the Jinn came to listen to the Prophet in Surah Al-Ahqaf (46:31), they went back to their people and said:

يَا قَوْمَنَا أَجِيبُوا دَاعِيَ اللَّهِ وَآمِنُوا بِهِ
"O our people, respond to the Caller of Allah and believe in him..."

Here, responding to him means fully adopting his Shari'ah. Whatever obligation he brought is an obligation on them too.

To bring it home practically, let’s look at their dietary laws. In Sahih Muslim, Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrates the famous Night of the Jinn where they asked the Prophet for their food. He told them:

لَكُمْ كُلُّ عَظْمٍ ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقَعُ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ أَوْفَرَ مَا يَكُونُ لَحْمًا
"Every bone on which the name of Allah is recited is your provision. The time it falls in your hands it shall be covered with meat..."

This is where the scholars applied Usul al-Fiqh. They relied on a foundational maxim that says:

مَا ثَبَتَ لِلْإِنْسِ ثَبَتَ لِلْجِنِّ إِلَّا بِدَلِيلٍ مُخَصِّصٍ
"Whatever ruling is established for mankind is established for the Jinn, except when there is a specific evidence that excludes them."

To legally exempt them from fasting, we would need a specific evidence showing they are physically incapable. But the Hadith of the bones does the exact opposite. So, by explicitly giving them a dietary law, the Shari'ah proves through Dalalat al-Iltizam (concomitant implication) that they have a biological reality; they eat, and they consume.

There is another supporting rule in Usul I want us to apply. The maxim says:
التكليف فرع الاستطاعة
"Accountability is a branch of capability."

Because the text proves they eat, it establishes their capability to abstain from eating. Since they have the physical capability, and there is no specific evidence exempting them, the general command of Ramadan strictly binds them just like us.

So yes, when you are standing in Taraweeh or breaking your fast, just know you are not alone. There is an entire unseen congregation fulfilling the exact same mandate.

Allah knows best.
