This is an incredible video. Deep down, we’ve always known this.
Qatari officials ADMITTED that America forces the Arab nations to spend their money on useless projects and lavish sports tournaments.
Arab money is held in US banks, and the Arabs have to ask permission from the Americans whenever they wish to withdraw and spend their own money. They’re like a 16-year-old kid asking their Dad for permission to use his credit card.
If an Arab ruler wanted to spend his billions on new factories, shipyards, and new strategic industrial projects, America would refuse to give him permission.
But if the Arab ruler wanted to spend his billions on new music concerts, tennis tournaments, and luxurious hotels, then America would give him permission to spend the money.
America doesn’t want you to be strategically independent of them, because they would lose their leverage and control over you. They want these small, divided, and weak Arab states to be dependent on the US forever.
America uses modern industry and comfort to hold you hostage. These golden handcuffs ensure that you will never defy the Americans. Your electrical grid, antibiotics, refrigerators, and machinery are all dependent on US supply chains. If you dare defy America, they will shut off your imports and your people will starve.
It’s not like the people in Riyadh and Doha know how to farm. They live in skyscrapers and they buy their food from local grocery stores which rely on modern equipment and global imports.
Breaking this cycle of dependence relies on breaking the very supply chains which keep millions of people fed and housed.
In a perverse way, being developed makes you more dependent. That’s why nations like Afghanistan and Yemen are more able to defy America, simply because they’re less developed and less reliant on imports.

Quick question to the Individual @WajdiAkkari is the individual below to you, your ignorant Muslim brother who can’t be takfired, until proof is established and conditions are fulfilled and this can only be done by the scholars, and he remains upon Islām till this is done . A simple yes. Or a no.

For 50 years the times we prayed together lived on paper until now.
Introducing Bilal, Google Maps for jama’ah times. (sound on!)
24,000+ masajid in 150+ countries, and it calls you when it’s time to leave for the one near you.

Last July, we supported the MCB’s 'AI & the Muslim Community Conference' — behind the scenes and on the ground.
Our conference slide deck materials, stage backdrop and lectern graphics helped bring MCB’s inspirational Vision 2050 to life on Millennium Point's huge 16×10m screen.

How Embarrassing…
UAE government used Claude to start a fake social media campaign against the Muslim Brotherhood & Sudan, and managed to get caught.
We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date.
It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them.
We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies.
These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve.
We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

The US-led “War on Terror” that followed 9/11 displaced over 37 million people, a human catastrophe that the fatwas of Madkhali and other Saudi state clerics enabled.
This was the greatest displacement of, not only Muslims, but of any people in the history of mankind after WWII.

Defensive Jihad does not require permission of the ruler
1) Shaykh Nāsiruddīn al-Albānī
2) Shaykh Ibn Uthaymīn
Ibn Uthaymīn states:
“𝘙𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘳’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵: ‘𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 (𝘫𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘥) 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘮 (𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳)?’ 𝗬𝗲𝘀. 𝗜𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.”
This is in relation to the defensive jihad in which one see’s the enemy in his land or at his doorstep, he goes out and defends himself, his family, his people and his land from the enemy.

These people are there to strip from your heart that painful feeling you get when you see a fellow Muslim oppressed.
Which btw is the only thing 99.9% of Muslims have left. The weakest part of Iman.
And they want to strip even that from you.

Authorities of the Salaf on the Imamate
📃 New Publication by Omar Ibrahim
This article presents annotated translations of articulations on governance and political authority by leading figures from the first three generations of Islam—al-qurūn al-mufaḍḍala, namely, the Companions (ṣaḥāba), their successors (tābiʿūn), and the successors of the successors (tābiʿū al-tābiʿīn).
Drawing on statements attributed to figures such as Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq, ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī, Mālik ibn Anas, Abū Yūsuf, and al-Shāfiʿī, the paper shows that the imamate was understood from the earliest period as indispensable to the preservation of religion and communal order.
Political authority appears not as an end in itself, but as the means through which the Sharīʿa is upheld, justice is administered, rights are protected, and public worship is secured. A central theme is the moral constitution of legitimate rule: ʿadl, ḥaqq, ṣalāḥ, naṣīḥa, obedience, and restraint are presented as integral to the very meaning of authority.
This paper is part of the series Classical Texts series on Sharia Governance and Politics.
