The Day of Arafah is unmatched in virtue. The Prophet says: “There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of Arafah. For those not on Hajj, fasting on this day expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year, as he ﷺ said, “I hope from Allah that fasting on the Day of Arafah will expiate the year before it and the year after it”. It is the day Allah perfected the religion with the verse, “This day I have perfected for you your religion”, and the best du’a is the du’a of Arafah: “La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah…” May Allah answer our prayers, heal our sick, forgive our parents and loved ones, bring peace and blessings to Nigeria, and admit us into His mercy.

On the Mountain of Mercy, hands raised to the sky, and tongues fervent with supplication.

Surah Al-'Insān | Ayah 5 - 18 | Shaykh Salaah Al Budair

Australian activists on the Global Sumud Flotilla described their experience in Israeli detention as they arrived in Sydney, Australia. One activist, Juliet Lamont, details being beaten, dragged and tied up following her abduction by Israeli forces.

Good People, relax and take life easy. The world is not collapsing, and despite the challenges around us, we are actually making progress. These days, I receive messages from members saying things like “my career is in a mess.” I always respond with one message: do not be too hard on yourself! BELIEF does not end simply because things are not yet working exactly as planned. The last time I checked, PATIENCE was still in the dictionary. Yes, things could be difficult as economy reshapes, but if you look deeper, you will discover, that there is a movement, even if the destination has not fully appeared. One of the biggest mistakes people make is forgetting their existing progress because the next level has not yet arrived. In America, churches celebrate secondary school graduates. Families gather to congratulate teenagers simply for staying in school and finishing high school. But in Nigeria, passing WAEC is treated like nothing. We ignore progress because we have normalized “I don’t have this and that”. A young lady graduates with a Second Class Lower (2.2), and suddenly the “god” in her life becomes that 2.2. Every decision, every confidence level, every career conversation becomes chained to that result. Meanwhile, graduating itself was already progress. Unless she learns to see that achievement as a foundation rather than a limitation, the next level may remain psychologically blocked. If you did your best in school and finished with 2.2, build on it. Grades are nothing, what drives the world is PROCESS. Simply, the process to a grade is more important than the grade itself. Good People, build on the small wins you already have. Progress compounds when acknowledged. Get involved in productive things. Develop a plan. Stay open to your future. Most importantly, maintain a positive attitude because optimism itself is strategic energy. A closed mind rarely sees opportunity. So, do not write to me saying “my career is in a mess.” No. Your career is simply sending a new signal. Pay attention to that signal and update your playbook. The future still carries abundance, and you have a portion in it. A strong personal economy is not built merely by working hard every day. It requires strategy, positioning, relationships, patience, and the discipline to continue improving yourself. Yes, continue pushing yourself to become better than the “YOU of yesterday.” And audition for the next level before men and women even when no role is yet available. Because sometimes, opportunity arrives for people who prepared before the vacancy existed. Good luck.

Eight of the world’s ten largest companies now compete in “arenas”—up from just one in 2005. That’s not a sector shift. It’s structural. Value is concentrating in a small set of fast-growing, high-dynamism spaces. The companies pulling ahead build capabilities that travel across arenas, and compound over time. mck.co/arenas2026
