All my life, I thought Muslims and particularly Ulama are not supposed to lie, not once, not sometimes but ever!

@Bint e Aisha @ummtaalib Interview with my Teacher, Ustadh Samir Ismail The Revert Experience: Real Challenges, Real Advice (Part 1) New Muslim Essentials: Qur’an, Salah, and First Steps (Part 2) Why Tablighi Jamaat Changed in America? (Part 3)

Put it this way. Some person on the Internet claims that Shaykh (Maulana) Saleem Dhorat Saheb (HA) does not pray (individually or in Jamaat) and I in the US do not know the accuser of Shaykh (HA) at all but just know that he is one of the Senior Shaykhs in UK and around dozens of people most of the time for years. So I will say "That's an absurd accusation!" without knowing about the accuser or the accused but just picturing in my head what a Shaykh usually does. Here someone from the Taliban is accusing one of the most Senior Shaykhul-Hadeeth of Pakistan that he does not pray (individually or in Jamaat) so similarly we say "That's absurd!"... The Taliban have been lying and lying and lying but this level of vitriol against Pakistani Ulama is absurd. In Afghan society because of drummed up hatred against Pakistani people (and Ulama) and general ignorance in society, Afghan people buy this sort of stuff.

I also saw this and heard of it in 1990 and it was in the back of my mind, let me try to find out about this.

Taliban Lying: @Bint e Aisha@ummtaalib For those who are still confused about Taliban 2.0 and their lies and deception. Syed Jamal Agha of Taliban tweets about Mufti Abdur-Rahim Saheb (HA) یہ نام نہاد مفتی پاکستانی فوجی رجیم کے حق میں امارت اسلامیہ کے خلاف زبان درازی کر رہا ہے۔ اس کے بارے میں، ایک شہید عالم اور مصنف کا قول نقل کرتا ہوں۔ فرماتے تھے: "یہ شخص نہ تنہا نماز پڑھتا ہے، نہ جماعت کے ساتھ۔" فرماتے"شاید اس لیے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ جادوگر کو نماز کی توفیق نہیں دیتا۔ Allegation: Muti Abdur-Rahim Saheb (HA) does not pray at all (alone or in congregation) and Allah Ta'ala does not accept the prayers of a magician. Jamiatur-Rasheed has between 5,000-10,000 students and around 200+ teachers and Mufti Abdur-Rahim Saheb (HA) spends 10-12 hours daily 6 days a week in public view so you can only believe one of the two below: It is possible for one of the most Senior Shaykhul-Hadeeth of a Darul-uloom to not pray (alone or in congregation) for 40-50 years while in full public view of thousands Taliban are lying!

For people of Pakistan Now that I have had time to think about this, this is my input. Taliban have no capability to fight Pakistan and any attack will be severely put down but the fact that Taliban dared to attack Pakistan border posts and have openly admitted it is a terrible failure of Pakistan Government. I understand that due to incessant from Maulana Fazlur-Rahman etc, many Muslims have reservations against Imran Khan but the Generals in Pakistan Army abused Bangladeshi people (in 1971) and brutally suppressed them but Pakistan lost "East Pakistan". Today, the same Generals of Pakistan Army are suppressing Pushtun people (in both Pakistan and Afghanistan) and no doubt that they have the power to inflict loses but if they do not release Imran Khan and not antagonize Afghanistan then Pakistan will break up. Muslims of Pakistan SHOULD NOT fight the Muslims of Afghanistan under any circumstances and under scenario at all. The Generals of Pakistan have visited Britain, US, Middle East numerous time but NONE of them have gone to Afghanistan to resolve these issues, there has not been a single visit to Kabul to resolve these issues. "Pakistani Ulama" at the behest of Pakistan Military Generals are now regularly bashing the Taliban, the same Taliban which "Pakistani Ulama" used to promote as second coming of "Umar (RA)" and used to promote as Army of Mahdi with "Black banners", all of a sudden Ulama in Pakistan are now labeling Taliban as Khawarij. What Taliban do in Afghanistan is nobody's business but they are our Muslim Brothers. The Afghans rely on Pakistan for medical treatment, trade etc and we cannot at the behest of Donald Trump slaughter Muslims even if we have the capability to do so. The only solution for Pakistan to survive is to release Imran Khan and let politics take its course. Soviet Union collapsed despite have Nuclear weapons. It is clear that Generals in Pakistan Army are willing to destroy the country for their own sake and it is also clear that "Ulama" have decided to back the Army, terrible mistake!

Operations from Pakistan Army are continuing against Afghanistan

Qadhi Mufti Shahauddin Popalzai Saheb (Peshawar, Pakistan) in Pushto په راتلونکي کې دا احمقانه کار بیا مه کوه. که ته په ډیلي کې یې یا په کابل کې In the future, don't do this foolish thing again! Whether you are in Delhi or in Kabul

Taliban have halted and Ceasfire Pakistan refuses and keeps retaliating and moving forward: I can understand that the Army is sick of performing Janazahs because of TTP (supported by Taliban) so boys want to deliver a message...

Grand-Mufti of Oman Shaykh Ahmed Al-Khalili urges both brotherly Muslim countries to STOP...

Pakistan Heavy Machine Gun HMG operating in Semi-Automatic mode...

Pakistan 155 mm opening up against Taliban forces Why? Don't we Muslims have enough problems to worry about??? Why are Muslims fighting Muslims???

The Afghan forces (under Taliban) attacked 2 check posts on the Pakistan border in a frontal assault and then advanced on 6-7 more. In the video above, you see the pop sound of small arms fire and then Pakistani Armour opening up with thud sounds and suppressing the Afghan advance. Afghans with their small arms (AK47) will be mercilessly and easily put down. you are not fighting America but people who know the land, the terrain, the tactics and the one who trained the Afghans Why are Afghan Taliban supporting Terrorism in Pakistan? And then a frontal assault against the 6th largest military in the world and a Nuclear power????Have the Taliban lost their minds! Why would you do this against your own Muslim Brothers and then cut down? This is not right, this is not good. The Ulama in Pakistan are constantly warning the Taliban or this war will spread and it will not be good. Terrible! What on Earth!

There are Muslims who are arguing about "Interest on Savings Account" being permissible and whatnot...Its a ridiculous argument because it is pennies and not worth anything. Open an Account Start buying Halal ETF with a few quid/bucks of your money which is permissible and divert your Bank money into investing. Remove Interest from your lives because it is Haram.

Got a "Jazakallahu Khayran" from a brother who invested just a few hundred into choice 1 & 2 and he is very happy about it. I told him to leave his money in there. It is better then leaving your money into a Bank Account and incurring Interest which is Haram! Whatever money every month which you can spare: Take a look at the Zoya Blog and look at the best option Buy and leave it Its good enough for a beginner with little money and not knowing what to do with it.

Didn't realize that some of the products are gone, the one that they are now labeling as "Shariah Compliant", I don't know about so I have edited and removed them Jazakallahu Khayran

ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ This is for basic laymen who don't understand anything about building portfolios etc, if you are knowledgeable and know what you are doing then Alhumdolillah, do as you please. There are dozens of Fatwas, YouTubes, articles and talks about Shariah compliant investment but not a lot of practical tips for common Muslims will little money on what to do so here is a basic bullet pointed list on what to do as these outpace the conventional growth British Muslims: Invest in Cur8 according to your means (minimum of what you can afford) and keep setting aside a little every month and keep investing Insha'Allah. American/Canadian Muslims: Invest in ETFs and here are two solid Halal choices: SPUS HLAL September 11, 2025 Addition: https://blog.zoya.finance/best-halal-etfs/ Indian/Pakistani or all other Muslims: My information is out of date so need to do more research on this...

Palestinian Scholars Page (AI Translation Below): The Dialectic of the Zionist Risk, the Iranian Risk, and Today’s Duty in This Battle In these difficult times, under Zionist belligerence in our region and Israel’s explicit declaration of its intention to reshape the area under its control—what it calls “Greater Israel,” as envisaged by Israel and its allies—we must clearly determine our religious and political stance amid the ongoing Israeli–Iranian conflict, based on legitimate interests and what's demanded of Muslims individually, by scholars, governments, and nations. Much of our perspective is shaped by our view of both parties and the tragedies each has inflicted. Undeniably, both Iran and Israel have caused great harm to Muslim countries. Iran once asserted control over four Arab capitals, sowing instability—although that influence has since receded; Iran has been expelled from Syria, and its role in Lebanon and Iraq has been diminished. Meanwhile, Israel is a settler-colonial entity—existing solely on stolen land and holy sites—it occupies all of Palestine and parts of Syria and Lebanon. It dominates the region, waging a brutal war particularly in Gaza for nearly two years and desecrating sacred places. Its leaders openly aim to restructure the region under Israeli dominance, with American backing. Israel is even attacking Iran and bombing Syrian territory, killing and detaining people in places like Quneitra and western Daraa, and posing threats to Pakistan’s nuclear program and Turkey—seeing no nation’s existence as legitimate unless under its supremacy. Many public statements, articles, tweets, and government positions treat these two as equal dangers—as if we can sit back and watch them fight it out. Some even hope for the oppression of two oppressors—“that the oppressors destroy each other while we emerge unscathed.” But will we really emerge unscathed under current conditions? Or are we already caught in the crossfire? Is the danger truly symmetric, and is neutrality the correct stance? Or is this a much graver situation, where today’s attacker has us in its sights next? We must not dwell too much on historical grievances when addressing a battle of the present and future. Yes, we should not forget Iran’s past wrongs in Sunni lands—but our focus in this Israel–Iran context must be forward-looking, not backward. If Israel triumphs—God forbid—it will soon target Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Pakistan, Turkey, and others, following its priorities and leadership's statements. And with American and European support, its threat will be immediate. To Syrians especially (who have the most fresh wounds from Iran), remember: Israel is not just aiming at Iran and Palestine; its ambitions extend to all our lands. While Iran may act aggressively if it wins, its capacity is constrained by surrounding hostility. We urge all Muslims—and especially scholars, who rally and inspire—to understand thoroughly and not allow grief or anger to drive them to stances that inadvertently align with Israel. We must take a realistic view guided by national and religious interest, not emotions. I'm not asking anyone to forget the spilled blood or violated honor of the past. But what matters now is safeguarding collective existence moving forward. If we look at individual countries, each is in Israel’s crosshairs if it wins. It is not just a threat to Palestine—it is potentially a threat to all of us. We need greater awareness and deeper reflection in these conditions. Our governments must recognize this and stand against Zionist tyranny and expansion. Neutrality—or worse, tacit alignment—is unacceptable. I propose forming a real coalition of Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other Muslim nations to unite and resist the American–Zionist offensive. Our people must pressure their leaders toward this alliance, resisting emotional urges that may inadvertently aid our enemy in this critical moment. In Islamic jurisprudence, Imam al-Sarakhsi said that if a Muslim lives in infidel territory and is attacked by other infidels, they may not side with the attackers unless it serves Muslim interests. That principle applies today—neutrality is not permissible, and siding with Zionists is not even by “well wishes” or prayers. We must stand firmly for our freedom and collective interest. AI Summary: Both Iran and Israel have harmed Muslims, but Israel poses a far greater and more immediate threat. Neutrality is dangerous; Zionist aggression threatens all Muslim countries. A pan-Muslim alliance (Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, etc.) is urgently needed. Scholars and governments should guide people toward unity over emotional reactions.

It is my humble opinion that American attack on Iran is now almost certain. May Allah Ta'ala protect this Ummah and all the believers from the Fitnah of Dajjal and grant all believers safety and security (Ameen).
