My country is dying

Drowning in the blood of poor

My country is dying

Under the pretenses of a cure

The children of my people are starving in a corner

With their mother dressed in black, playing the role of a mourner

My country is dying, and yet no one cares

1/5

Because the tragedy that happened was yet to be theirs

My country is dying because of its people

Those who turn the other cheek when they witness evil

Acts of defiance resulted in death

Do not defy the king called Macbeth

For he knows no rules, no law to abide

2/5

And his wish remains to conquer and divide

His puppets, they dance to the rhythm of the gun

For they do not care who they shoot, a daughter or a son

It is not in their interest to care for the people

Not the old, nor the young, the fit or the cripple

3/5

This is not a stranger who lays dead on your feet

It is your brother, a comrade, a statistic on repeat

My country is dying and it's begging for help

From its children, the people, to look out for themselves

My country is dying and it's only a matter of time

4/5

Before your life will worth nothing, not even a dime.

And now your country is dying, so why don't you care?

When your home remains here, and not elsewhere.

G5iO #AfghanLeaks| Disinformation & Propaganda Campaign to Sabotage Afghan Peace Process

As a flagship study, G5iO undertook data analytics to deconstruct coordinated disinformation & Info-Ops being undertaken by both India & Afghanistan to derail Afghan Peace Process [Thread]

Evidence indicates extensive use of bots, coordinated network behaviour and fake news pushed across @Twitter from sources linked to Afghanistan and Indian state machinery.

The frequency and intensity of these campaigns increased dramatically over the last 3 months once:

•US announced a final withdrawal date
•The Taliban gained military victories

Methodology:
•Twitter data was scraped from May 2020 – Aug 2021
•The data indicated key narratives, networks and user accounts running disinformation operations

•Insights were developed using comparative analysis of online hashtag activity with offline political and regional security events

•Artificial activity was defined as any activity from accounts engaged in platform manipulation, recently created and pushing inorganic content

ONE night, a man was angry that his wife had raised her voice when speaking with him. How could she disrespect him? How could she be-little him?

This man,convinced that his wife had crossed the line,decided to go and complain about her to a man who had much knowledge about (1)

Islam & to see what he would have to say about this woman.He went to Umar ibn Al-Khattab. 
As the man was just about to knock on Umar’s door,he stopped in his tracks.He heard a voice coming from inside,a woman’s voice. It was Umar’s wife,she was speaking loudly and her voice(2)

overrode her husband’s.
That was Umar ibn Al-Khattab in there, the fierce ruler of the Muslim Empire that had stretched East and West, and his wife was freely and confidently voicing her opinion and discussing important matters with him.
The man, feeling ashamed of his own

intolerance towards his wife, hurriedly retraced his steps and decided to leave.The man stumbled and his footsteps were heard by Umar ibn Al-Khattab who opened the door and asked his nighttime visitor,“Have you come to visit me?”
The man sheepishly replied, “I came to complain(4)

to you that my wife had raised her voice at me,but I found that you too have what I have.”What was Umar ibn Al-Khattab’s response?
He said, “She washes my clothes, sweeps the floors,cares for my children, and cleans my house, when Allah has not commanded her to do so, but she(5)

The Fiqh of Eid al-Adha:

1/10. The Eid Prayer is wajib. It consists of two rakats, with extra takbirs. The wisdom behind the Eid prayers, like the Eid days themselves, is to thank Allah for His countless blessings.

2/10. After the Eid prayer, there is a khutba. It is necessary to listen to this khutba, and everything disliked in the Friday khutba is disliked here.

3/10. In the first rakat of the Eid prayer, one gives 3 additional takbirs after the opening takbir and opening supplication but before reciting the Fatiha. One should raise one’s hands with each takbir (to one’s earlobes), as one does with the opening takbir.

After each takbir, one lets one’s hands rest at one’s sides.

One pauses briefly after each takbir.

One places ones hands together, right on left under the navel, after the third and final takbir.

After this, one recites the ta`wwudh (seeking refuge in Allah from Satan),...

...says the basmala (Bismillahi al-Rahman al-Raheem), and recites the Fatiha and another surah, as normal. The rest of the rakat is the same.

4/10. In the second rakat of the Eid prayer, one also gives 3 additional takbirs. These are given after one finishes reciting the...

What is #Tawheed?
What are the Categories of Tawhid?

Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the Tawhid of Allah."
(Sahih al Bukhari 7372)

#Tawheed is to single out Allah in his Actions, in His Attributes, and to single out Allah in our actions/worship towards Him (His Rights).

🔹1 - Tawheed ar Rububiyyah
(maintaining unity in Allah's actions, the divine Lordship of Allah)

He alone is the Creator & Sustainer, and controller of the universe (etc).. and not attributing any of this to anyone else

🔹2 - Tawheed al Ibaadah(Uluhiyyah)
(maintaining the unity of worship)
This means to single out Allah as the focus of all worship (‘ibaadah).

Allah alone has the right to be supplicated to & prayed to, and sacrificed for and worshiped... directly, and without any intermediaries.
A person can believe in Allah(One God) and still be committing #SHIRK (polytheist)

Allah says.. 👉 “And if you were to ask them: ‘Who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon?’ they will surely reply: ‘Allah.’ How then are they deviating (as polytheists and disbelievers)?” - [Quran 29:61]

it wasn't just muslim women who "led" the caa protests. it was muslim men too. have you ever wondered why this image of "strong" muslim women "who don't need muslim men" is projected by liberals and the left? notice how they decentred sharjeel imam from the shaheen bagh +

gaze, lmao. you'll find it in droves in indian liberals and leftists.

oh, and btw, i'm not saying this as something i "feel". it's very very real. the cpi(m) report on the delhi pogrom even stated that "women leading the protests did not allow their stage to be used for +

About Eid al-Adha:

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate.

All praise is to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.

And the blessings and peace of Allah be upon His Chosen Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad, his family, companions, and followers.

Islam has two major holidays, Eid al-Fitr (Post-Fasting Festival) and Eid al-Adha.

The word Eid itself is an Arabic word, whose root connotation is ‘that which comes back, time after time, and rejoicing.’ Its particular usage in Islam, for the two major holidays,...

is because these two days are meant to be days of rejoicing.

The Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “They are days of eating, drinking, and remembrance of God.” [Reported by Bukhari in his Sahih,...

One of my first conversations and confrontations about my Communism... in a thread..

* Fellow traveler sees me watching a video clip on Leninism...

Him: You're a Communist? In this day and age? That's rare. Where are you from?

Me: India

Him: Is Communism still a thing there?

Me: Pretty much. Many communists around if you want to find them, it's a third world country, it is still a feudalistic cultural epitome as well.

Him: So what do they do? Revolution?

Me: No. India's communist parties follow the electoral line. Though there are many hardline Maoists that believe in Armed struggle. The CPs also have trade unions, they do a lot of societal transformations, etc wherever they are in power.

Him: So Communism is viewed as a good thing?

Me: Yeah. At least, there is no antagonistic anti communism like you have in the west.

Him: All Soviet Bloc countries in Europe are poor. How do you guys still follow Communism after communism did that?

Me: Communism didn't do that. The Eastern bloc countries turned poor en masse after they abandoned Socialism btw.

Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last #Mughal emperor of India was not just a vestige of past, he was a very popular leader, poet, sufi and a great freedom fighter who rose with his people against the tyrannical and brutal rule of the British East India Company.
#BahadurShahZafar
#Thread

While the mutiny was defeated in a matter of just over a year or so, King lost badly, sacrificing his sons who were butchered by a British officer, faced sham trial where there was no hope of justice and judge was doing all to punish the king and then faced the worst humiliation

Zafar was 20th and last Mughal emperor. He succeeded his father, Akbar II, upon his death on 28 Sept 1837. He was a titular Emperor, as the Empire existed in name when he became the emperor as the authority of the empire had shrunk only to the walled city of Old Delhi.

There is no denying the fact that Zafar had inherited an ‘empire’ that was empire only in name. This empire was all set to expire with the death of Zafar and it had been agreed upon between him n the company that after his death, Mughals will leave Red Fort and settle in Mahrauli

Saif Mahmood while writing in his Beloved Delhi says: Ironically, this was happening as Mughal Delhi, the great theatre of Urdu poetry, was losing its eminence. By the time the frail sixty-two-year-old Bahadur Shah Zafar ascended the throne in September 1837,

I don't understand one thing, when you know that these people auctioning muslim girls (using their profile pics)on apps are fully backed & protected by state, what is the need to upload your pics on social media? +±

They can morphe your pics to any extreme extent( beyond anyone's imagination) & no one is going to act against them because they are allowed to do this by none other than present Anti-muslim regime. ++

Hum ladko ki G phat jati hai apni details share karne mai just because of the hindutva's muslim blood lust. Aap ladki hokar pics post kare ge aur expect kare ge they will show some mercy towards you. No, you are living in fools Paradise ++

They are dreaming off 24*7 of raping muslim women. U can't expect Mercy from anyone who is dying to get you in his bed & rape you. ++

When you know there is no solution at present to stop them because every person/institution that is supposed to stop them is in their favor & no body will act against them, the least & most probably the only option you are left with at present is to ++
