Let’s address this properly with actual facts: Linguistically: The root جهد (j-h-d) means striving/exertion. The Arabic word for war/fighting is قتال (qital), a completely different root. The Quran uses BOTH deliberately. Lisan al-Arab, the most authoritative Arabic lexicon ever written, defines jihad as “expending effort.” Not war. The scholars you claim are authoritative: Ibn al-Qayyim listed over 20 types of jihad, including jihad of the heart, tongue, wealth, and sword. Ibn Taymiyyah, Al-Nawawi, Ibn Qudama in Al-Mughni, none of them define jihad exclusively as war. All place strict conditions on qital (fighting) that severely restrict it. On Reliance of the Traveller: It covers jihad al-nafs, dawah, and commanding good alongside warfare rules. Citing one chapter while ignoring the rest isn’t research, that’s confirmation bias. The Prophet ﷺ himself returning from battle said: “We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad, striving against one’s own soul.” (Referenced by Al-Bayhaqi) Now turning it back to you: Which Arabic lexicon, Lisan al-Arab, Qamus al-Muhit, Taj al-Arus, defines jihad exclusively as war against non-Muslims? Name one classical fiqh text that opens with that definition. You can’t, because none do. Disagreeing with Islam is one thing. But misrepresenting a 1,400 year scholarly tradition as a fringe conspiracy isn’t a position, it’s ignorance.

Perhaps you should conduct your research on authoritative Islamic doctrine from the same Islamic texts Muslims teach Muslims from. All schools of doctrine define it as war against non Muslims. Commercial texts regarding Islam are generally written by Muslim Brotherhood affiliates to confuse non Muslims on the true meaning. The book quoted, Reliance of the Traveller has been written in English and was done to educate English speaking Muslims on requirements. The preface includes documents from Al-Azhar University and other Islamic scholars authenticating the text.

@imaadmalikk @shahidknows @raythewarchief the most powerful positioning is if nobody even knows or it’s not obvious that muslims own or operate the infra behind this tech. 1) protects your company from anti muslim sentiment targeting within the industry itself 2) people skeptical of muslims will continue to buy from you

All muslim founders with projects drop a comment with your product and I will repost and show the love. I have gotten Islamic founders over 3000 new followers in just a few days (yes I counted) Let’s all help each other and rise up ⚡️⚡️💪🏽🦁🙏

The Muslim world is 1.8 billion people. 25% of the global population. In Nigeria, over 70m Our tech infrastructure looks nothing like that. No Muslim-majority equivalent of Stripe. No halal-native investment app. No Islamic knowledge platform with serious engineering behind it

@imaadmalikk @shahidknows @raythewarchief you would’ve said the same thing. using a 6fig domain feels premium but at its core it’s just another muslim product that nobody outside our universe can take seriously *because* of the branding

You can now schedule recurring cloud-based tasks on Claude Code. Set a repo (or repos), a schedule, and a prompt. Claude runs it via cloud infra on your schedule, so you don’t need to keep Claude Code running on your local machine.

Surely Apple have to just build a UX at this point where you talk to your phone and watch it take actions on your screen, in a beautiful way.

You don't need a cloud API for great OCR anymore. GLM-OCR runs locally with just ~2GB VRAM, handles tables, math equations, and hits ~260 tok/s on a Mac Studio M2 Ultra. Local models are getting better AND smaller at a crazy pace. If you have a GPU or a Mac, you're already ready for the AI era. @Zai_org

موقع يحتوي مواد أخيكم، قام بإنشائه هذا الأخ الكريم جزاه الله خيرا وتقبل منا ومنه ومنكم. ساعدونا في نشره يا كرام.
yazin@yazins

i've never met Dr. Eyad Qunaibi. Never emailed him, never DM'd him. But I spent months building him a website, a content pipeline, and a multi-language knowledge base. 3,800+ pieces of content. why? i've been following his work for years... he does something you don't see much in religious content: structured, scientific arguments grounded in shariah. no overly-emotional messaging, no vague appeals. you can follow his reasoning step by step until you either agree or know exactly where you disagree. alot of Islamic content I come across tries to get you to feel something first and think later. he... goes the other way. and as a founder, my instinct is to create something new. original idea, original brand, build from zero. but sometimes the most useful thing you can do is find someone whose ideas deserve a bigger audience and build the infrastructure to get them there. his reach was basically YouTube and a mobile app. no website. i checked the domains and they were just sitting there, so I grabbed them. i reverse-engineered the app's API, extracted years of content, and built a pipeline that automatically transcribes every new YouTube video, formats it, translates it to English and French, and interlinks it with his entire body of work. All searchable, all connected. it's also fully *self-updating* the ideas don't need to be invented, they just need to go where people will actually find them. Web, SEO, and increasingly AI channels like ChatGPT where this kind of content was completely invisible before. i keep wondering how many people with genuinely important ideas are stuck behind a distribution problem they don't even know they have. link below

We tell ourselves the work is ibadah. If you’ve been working through Ramadan you know the feeling. Everyone else is in the masjid or doing extra worship and you’re on calls or finishing something off telling yourself this counts too. So why does it feel empty? Work can be ibadah no doubt. But how much can we really feel comfortable with our intentions if we’re not giving. I think what’s healthy purification for that heaviness is sadaqah. And I mean for us more than the cause honestly. My brother Sifat just came back from Syria. It’s a very good project الحمد لله. I can tell you there’s a video of him vlogging the actual work on the ground you can see exactly whats happening. I can tell you I love their work and I can vouch for it personally. But honestly those are secondary. When you give and not just this cause give selfishly. Give for yourself. You need it more than they do. Because your salvation is needed. We have too much to account for that we’ll be asked about.

btw if you can build a category leader open source project in ai engineering right now the market acquihire rate is ~$10-$100m per ai engineer. you do not need to figure out a business model, you do not need GTM, you do not need funding. just build things clankers want.

So we have a new Islamic lender offering home finance in the UK. They use commodity murabaha widely. Their new home purchase plans are, of course, charging rental rates at prevailing interest rates. Muslims just love Riba and making it halal in every way possible. And boasting about it non-stop publicly.
