Salam guys, Just a quick announcement: I’m going to pivot my content here to tech and business-related topics going forward. If you still want to follow self-help content, you can follow me on Threads. (naqibfaiq95) 🤣

These days are almost over, so do not let what remains pass like ordinary time. Fill them with fasting, dhikr, Qur’an, dua, repentance, charity, and every good deed that brings you closer to Allah.

AWS User Group Malaysia Talk: Experience on Building AI Agent Harness youtube.com/watch?v=u145ea…

In 2002 a payments company sold to eBay for one and a half billion dollars. Most of its employees got modest exits and went home. Thirty eight of them did not. They went on to found Tesla. SpaceX. LinkedIn. YouTube. Palantir. Yelp. Yammer. Affirm. Founders Fund. Trillions of dollars in market cap. Two decades of Silicon Valley reshaped by one company's alumni network. Here is the part nobody talks about. They did not all get rich at the same time. Three exited first. Those three funded the next five. Those eight pulled up the next seven. By 2010 you could not raise a Series A in Silicon Valley without somehow being in their orbit. That is what a "mafia" actually is. It isn't corruption. It's concentrated trust. Thirty eight people who decided helping each other was the default, not the exception, compounded into the most valuable network in tech history. Every winning group in Silicon Valley runs this play. The Indians did it from inside FAANG. The Israelis did it through unit 8200. The Stanford and YC alumni built the most explicit versions. Muslims have not done it yet. We have the talent. We have the capital. We have founders quietly exiting for nine figures whose own communities do not know their names. We just never built the room where the early mafia forms. Friday HQ is that room. 3,000+ Muslim founders, operators, and investors. 3,700+ angels reviewing real deals. The early Muslim mafia is forming right now and most people have not noticed. In ten years there will be a Muslim equivalent of the PayPal mafia. The only real question is whether you were in the room when it started. fridayhq dot co

“Whoever is concerned about the Hereafter, Allah will place richness in his heart, bring his affairs together, and the world will inevitably come to him. Whoever is concerned about the world, Allah will place poverty between his eyes, disorder his affairs, and he will get nothing of the world but what is decreed for him.” Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Be a wealthy Muslim. Retire your parents. Fund someone’s Umrah trip. Build Masajid. Sponsor orphans. Fund Dawah. Wealth isn’t evil. Wealth is what will move the ummah forward.

Unfair advantage that no one talks about.

EKONOMI MALAYSIA DIJANGKA MULA TERUK BERMULA JUN KERANA PERANG US IRAN Penasihat Ekonomi Pejabat Perdana Menteri, Nurhisham Hussein memberitahu Podcast The Breakfast Grill BFM Radio bahawa Ekonomi Malaysia dijangka mula teruk bermula Jun kerana Perang US Iran dan Penutupan Selat Hormuz Situasi teruk ini akan berlangsung dalam 3 Gelombang. Gelombang Pertama- Bekalan Minyak Malaysia akan mulai habis. Di mana 3/4 Pengeluaran minyak di Timur Tengah ditutup. Pengeluaran minyak sepenuhnya memakan masa 6 Bulan daripada tarikh perang tamat. Ia bukan seperti tutup paip. Antaranya ialah Telaga Minyak itu disimen dan proses membuka semula telaga itu memakan masa 3 bulan. Proses untuk membersihkan trafik di Selat Hormuz juga dijangka 2-3 bulan. Malaysia import 70 peratus minyak dari Selat Hormuz Gelombang Kedua - Bekalan Petrokimia mulai terjejas. Rakyat Malaysia memerlukan bahan ini untuk produk kebersihan diri, tuala wanita, lampin bayi, komestik, berus gigi dan sebagainya. 70 peratus kereta dibuat dari plastik. Gelombang Ketiga- Masalah bekalan mentah. Banyak syarikat hanya ada simpanan bahan mentah untuk hasilkan produk mereka selama 2 bulan sahaja. Hanya 10 ke 15 peratus SME Malaysia mempunyai simpanan bahan mentah selama seminggu atau dua minggu. Kesan gelombang ini akan menyebabkan produk pengeluaran berkurangan, pekerja tak dapat kerja OT, pengurangan syif pekerja dan ini jejaskan rakyat Malaysia secara perlahan-lahan

As Muslims, we already have all the guidance and tools needed to succeed in this life. Yet we leave Islam on the prayer mat and chase dunya through a purely materialistic worldview. Secularism at its peak.

Studying Islam gives you an edge in business. Most Muslim working professionals and business executives assume they have too much on their plate to dedicate time to seeking knowledge. On the contrary, I've found that it's actually helped me become a better startup founder: 1. Learning new knowledge As a student of knowledge, you're tasked to learn. Fast. And you have to efficiently retain it as well. You constantly sharpen skills like breaking down complex info, memorizing, and diagraming that most people stop practicing methodically once they leave school. As an entrepreneur, you constantly have to learn things you've never done before. 2. Conveying information When teaching the ʿulūm, you have to break down complex subjects into simpler principles. With different audiences and students, you have to frame the same issue in completely different ways. Being a founder is all about framing the same information in many different ways: to different team members, different customers, different investors, etc. 3. Breadth AND depth of knowledge One thing you learn being a student of knowledge is you need massive breadth and depth. You must master the basics of at least a dozen different kinds of knowledge from hadith, fiqh, and usul to grammer and rhetoric. School doesn't teach you this. It teaches you to specialize. But good business founders need to be a sort of jack of all trades. They don't need to be the best, but they need to be very good at a dozen skills from marketing, coding and sales to ops, managing finances etc. 4. The Barakah As someone once said, when you dedicate your time and efforts for the sake of Allah, it no longer becomes an issue of fitting it all on your plate. Instead, Allah blesses you with a bigger plate.

If you guys cannot afford 200$ AI Subscribtion, you only have yourself to blame. Have you considered cutting: Coway? Netflix/Prime? Starbucks everyday? iPhone? Eating out? Your own fault for not going to prestigious university and get a high CGPA. Stop complaining. Vote PKR next GE ok

Whoop is cooked 😆

Just because anyone can build software now doesn't mean software is dead. Anyone can bake bread in their home right now, yet 99% of us still choose to buy it from someone else. Simple products are complex! I will always be happy to pay someone to handle the nuances.

Lets resign and do this 😂

Thrilled to support the education GOAT as he reinvents education (again).

aw this is so cute. speaking of buses do you all remember when Obama sent a 500-pound, laser-guided MK-82 bomb to hit a school bus in Yemen, killing 40 children on their way to a field trip.

When the tyrannical king of the Sassanids tore up the letter of the Prophet ﷺ in contempt, the Prophet ﷺ remarked, “God shall tear his kingdom up as he tore my letter.” We learn from the Qur’ān: “Whoever commits evil will be repaid with its like” [4:123]. While we don't gloat over anyone's sickness, we see a clear lesson here: Never invoke the punishment of God on innocent people, lest you become the subject of your own curse.

Mishary has released a new Nasheed on his YouTube channel: “Perish the hands of Iran and those aligned with Iran; we are the people of Tawheed,” while depicting the leaders of the Gulf as heroes. I think he forgot to mention the Aqeedah of the Zionists and America, and who they stand with. Initially, I thought it was AI, but he’s actually gone this far. He should have stuck to the Quran & singing Nasheed.

Wow, this is THE APP if you are concerned about doing your prayers on time while flying. So so good 👌 apps.apple.com/us/app/prayair…
