I graduated Friday evening, my family celebrated. My grandmother passed away Saturday morning(الله يرحمها), my family grieved. We buried her today. If that doesn’t highlight the fluidity and uncertainty that is life, I don’t know what does. Please keep my family in your prayers.
Boy:“Where will we go, where will we go? Mother, mother!”
Mother: “The land of god is wide”
“Sufficient for us is Allah, he is the best disposer of affairs”
“O Allah, all praise is due to You alone, until you’re pleased. And all praise is due to you alone when you’re pleased”
on a serious note, this should be a wake up call to Muslims around the globe about how deeply embedded the state surveillance/security apparatus is in our daily lives, even in the most mundane of ways.
Muslims have sighted the moon locally and gone with the word of their local scholars for centuries. Imagine before the advent of modern communications?
How would a man in Saudi have gotten the word to people in Senegal, Malaysia, Bosnia?
“Among the believers there are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some have fulfilled their vow dying, and others await, unyielding to change” (Al-aḥzāb, 23)
Work from home destroys families. As a man you will lose all respect from your family if you’re home 24/7. Your kids will talk back, your wives will not listen. Being away creates mystery and demands respect. This is exactly why I spend hours at the caffe, to save my family.
an entire class of Muslim pundits, talking heads, media personalities and wannabe intellectual grifters spent 6-7 years seeking this losers approval. here are the fruits of your cursed labor

What Al-Shabab and other terror entities (ISIS, the kkk, Israel ) fail to grasp is that you can commit mass murder, destroy infrastructure, create chaos and instability on a mass scale. But you can’t kill ideas —You can’t kill the way people made us feel and the impact they leave
this hypocrite will pull out every stop to get you to vote for him in 2024. it was only yesterday he was invoking the words of our beloved Prophet to get your vote
today he is facilitating the greatest evil, the genocide of the people of Gaza.
we won’t forgive, we won’t forget
Joe Biden speaks to Million Muslim Votes Summit: "Hadith from the Prophet Muhammad instructs, 'Whomever among you sees a wrong, let him change it with his hand. If he is not able, then with his tongue. If he is not able, then with his heart.'"
getting emails to “be careful” about Palestine from senior academics in history/Islamic studies. named professors/chairs mind you. people who have status/nothing to fear. I ask that Allah never humiliates me as he has humiliated them. No check is worth the blood of the oppressed.
The support of the Somali people for the Palestinian cause is deep rooted. During the Great Palestinian Revolt in 1936, Somalia’s leading anti-colonial scholar Sharif Mahamud Abd al-Rahman organized mass support and donations for the Palestinian cause.
When you see these people remember that in Minnesota Andrew Luger, Michael Davis and their CVE sycophants handed down 30+ year sentences to Somali youth without a shred of concrete evidence.
your ancestors were storming British/Italian garrisons, smoking them with outdated weapons and then composing hundreds of lines of poetry about it. you make tiktoks. isla yaab sxb
I've been thinking a lot recently about the idea of eloquence as a form of deception. The Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ comes to mind:
إنَّ مِنَ البَيان لَسِحرًا - أوْ إنَّ بَعْضَ البَيانِ سِحْر
"Indeed there is magic in eloquence' -or- 'Indeed some eloquence is magic'."
Everytime I go to a well attended Janazah I can’t help but think about all the times Muslims in our communities have been prayed over and buried alone. All of the reverts, elderly, young children and outsiders who have passed away with hardly any notice.

At this point I’m convinced some folks are more invested in maintaining an amicable (but ultimately false) sense of unity rather than doing the hard work of building communities that can effectively dismantle racism, prejudice and anti-blackness.
Men, we have to be hold ourselves and each other accountable. We have to be better, we have ALL been complicit in allowing this culture to fester in our communities.
being a 21st century qabil warrior is some real weak sauce tbh. your ancestors had 500 year blood feuds, camel raids, hundreds of miles of grazing territory to defend.
white america really honestly believes that the plan is to implement “shariah law” in Minneapolis after disbanding the police...
Welcome to the Midwestern Islamic Emirate of Minneapolis I guess.
Nearly four centuries after his death a Somali ʿĀlim gets his day in the sun. My new essay for

Zahid Quraishi, a federal magistrate judge and the son of Pakistani immigrants, has become the first Muslim Federal District Court judge in U.S. history.
He was confirmed by the Senate for a federal judgeship in New Jersey.
After two years, hundreds of hours of research and writing and many late nights we are excited to finally launch The Islamic History X podcast this week In Sha Allah! 🎙🔊
We are shocked and disturbed to learn that a landlord in Chicago expressing anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian views broke into a Muslim family's apartment and attacked them with a knife, injuring the mother and killing her 6-year-old son, Wadea Al-Fayoume.

You ever just think about how Hodan Nalayeh(رحمة الله عليها) dedicated her life to showcasing the beauty and honor of her home country, only to be murdered there?
very difficult moral quandary here: who should I believe about the hospital bombing?
