On the real I hardly would pray for myself especially regarding worldly matters, so everything good that I have and everything good that I am is from my mother's du'aa. May Allah preserve her with afiyah ♥
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Virgil van Dijk speaks out against the hydration breaks!
🗣️ “I have been watching almost every game and I don’t really like the hydration breaks. And for the people watching on television it’s also not great.”
“If it’s REALLY HOT, then obviously you need it, but you need to look at it game by game.”
“But I think I have said enough already…..”
First time ever at a World Cup: FIFA forcing 3-min ‘hydration breaks’ in EVERY match, even in air-conditioned stadiums. Officially for player welfare, but we all know it’s ad slots for broadcasters. Turning football into quarters with built-in commercials. Momentum killer. Not a coincidence it happens in the USA.

Arabic doesn't have one word for "fall."
It has at least six. Because a star doesn't fall the way a human does. And water doesn't fall the way a wall does.
Each verb tells you what fell, how it fell, and why.
من لطائف طرق الحج التي سلكها المسلمون قديماً، "طريق الحج الإفريقي"؛ حيث كان مسلمو وسط وغرب إفريقيا يقطعون مسافة هائلة تفصلهم عن الأراضي المقدسة، تُقدّر بنحو سبعة آلاف كيلومتر.
كانت هذه المسافة الشاسعة تتطلب منهم الخروج لقصد الحج قبل موعده بعام كامل أو يزيد، يطوون فيه الأرض سيراً على الأقدام.
ولأجل تعذر حمل المتاع والزاد طوال هذه الشهور الممتدة، ابتكر الحجاج حيلة ذكية؛ فكان الواحد منهم يخرج لرحلته مستصحباً معه قطيعاً من الماشية؛ من البقر والجاموس والماعز، ليرتوي من ألبانها ويتغذى عليها طوال الطريق. فإذا ما بلغ الميناء ليعبر إلى الضفة الأخرى من البحر الأحمر، باع ماشيته هناك، وادخر ثمنها نفقة لقضاء المناسك ولرحلة الإياب.
ولم يكن الدرب كله قفراً بائساً؛ إذ كانت تقام على طول الطريق الأسبلة، والتكايا، والخانات، والآبار، التي شيدها سلاطين المسلمين وأهل الخير لخدمة الحجيج وتوفير سبل الراحة لهم.
ومع هذه التسهيلات، فإن العناء الذي كان يقاسيه هؤلاء الحجاج كان بالغ المشقة؛ حتى إن الرحلة كانت تستغرق من أعمارهم سنتين كاملتين؛ سنة للذهاب وأخرى للعودة.
ومنهم من كانت تبتلع الرحلة من عمره أكثر من ذلك؛ إن هو آثر الجوار في مكة عاماً، أو عرّج في طريقه على حواضر وعواصم المسلمين؛ كالقاهرة ودمشق والقيروان، ليجلس في مساجدها يطلب العلم ويتزود الخير، قبل أن يعود إلى بلاده، يحمل في صدره نور العلم، ويسبق اسمه لقب "الحاج".

I do not want a yearly performance review. I do not want to spend time filling out a form like what I worked on all year was forgotten. You saw the work. You paid me. That was the agreement. Stop asking me to write essays about it. Leave me alone and let me enjoy the holidays.
They’re not inducting young people anymore, in corporate. They’re just throwing them in and pumping them with work. And now everyone is frustrated and everything is an escalation.
Whatever Microsoft engineer decided to make the Teams status indicator change from green to yellow after two minutes of inactivity, come here. I just want to talk.
World Bank told Nigeria to reopen fuel imports because Dangote’s fuel was 12% more expensive than imports. Dangote called it flawed. World Bank quietly deleted the whole report from their website.
Meanwhile Europe is buying refined fuel from the same Dangote refinery because Middle East supply got disrupted. The same Europe that used to sell Nigeria its own crude back as petrol. You can’t make this up.
An African refinery finally works at scale and the first recommendation is not invest more, not expand capacity. It’s bring back imports.
When Africa consumes nobody says a word. When Africa refines and competes suddenly it’s a problem.
Mesut Özil explained how his career at Arsenal FC ended because he raised awareness about the Uyghur genocide.
At the Malaysia-Turkiye Leadership Summit, Özil revealed how his social media post in December 2019 condemning China's oppression of Uyghur Muslims led to eight months without first-team action and his eventual exit.
"As a star, I had a voice, and I knew I had to speak out on certain things. If I posted, I knew I would get in trouble with Arsenal. But I didn't care, I posted it and I was happy."
"So they closed the door on me. They didn't let me play anymore." "It was difficult, because I was enjoying playing football and they just took it away from me. I thank God that I had my wife and kids with me."
