Good summary. But 2 things he did not mention: 1) you can open an LLC with 2 year renewable. Cost is 4k-6 USD based on who you work with. No requirement for an office lease, money in the bank, other overhead. You do have to hire an Omani after a year with this setup. Needless to say there are ways around that. 2) Buy a residential unit for 125k usd (minimum value) in Sultan Haytham City Muscat (under construction, will be ready 28/29) and get a lifetime residency. You just need to pay 30% of the value and you have 5 year to make the full payment.

I'm in Oman right now. People call it the "Switzerland of the Middle East" but I'm realizing parallels don't do the place justice. It won't be a new Dubai. And it shouldn't be. Here's the breakdown: → 0% personal income tax, even after 2028 if you earn under ~$109K → Digital nomad visa: ~$3,900/mo requirement, 1-year renewable. Until 2028, full 0% tax → Golden Visa: $520K, 10-year, full family. Under-the-radar Plan B with undervalued real estate → Rent is almost half of Dubai → 5th safest country on Earth → Free zones with 30-year corporate tax exemptions (selected industries) → Path to citizenship in 15 years, something the UAE doesn't offer For pure tax optimization, networking, and infrastructure, the UAE is still the top. Dubai's ecosystem is unmatched. Nothing competes. But not everyone needs the Dubai machine. Remote worker under six figures? Oman gives you GCC proximity, a USD-pegged currency, and 0% tax at a fraction of the cost. Retired? It's warm, safe, cheap, and simple. No hustle culture. A place you actually want to wake up in. Playing the long game? Oman is one of the only GCC countries where naturalization is even possible. The UAE gives you an incredible base, but no passport. Over 15-20 years, that's a completely different asset. Real estate is genuinely undervalued. Waterfront in Muscat costs a fraction of Dubai Marina. If you're building a Plan B, the entry point matters. And then there's the thing nobody talks about enough. The nature, the friendliness, the culture. This isn't just a tax play. It's one of the most beautiful, welcoming countries I've been to. Besides, it's bitcoin aligned with government-backed mining facilities leveraging the low cost of electricity. One hour from Dubai. Same region. Completely different philosophy. I wouldn't be surprised to see a spike in golden visas here as pure plan B option, even for UAE residents.

Hamza Yusuf in the quiet of the night resigned from the Religious Liberty Commission, which was thoroughly exposed by @CarriePrejean1 to be nothing but a Zio organization. Once again the plebs were right and the Madkhali Quietists got it wrong. But now that the ship is burning, it’s not that much of a selfless act.

Do you have advise for someone with male infertility? A couple in my family have been unable to have kids for several years, apparently the mans sperm(99%) does not move with bad morphology. They apparently tried IVF too. Any advise, maybe natural remedies?
@Move to Muscat@movetomuscat

Before you guys assemble, know that the damage sperm maybe flushed out ( I highly doubt Big Goon science) but it does not stop your pituitary from calcifying. Amazingly intercourse does not calcify even though it’s pretty much the same mechanism from the outside.

This is one area where I’m genuinely unsure, especially when it comes to diaspora Muslims. My own marriage was arranged, so I didn’t face the set of challenges many young people are navigating today. There was a time when marrying someone from back home and bringing them to the West felt more straightforward. Expectations were clearer, roles were more defined. That’s no longer the case. wives arrive and within weeks they are different creatures. I’ve seen the challenges up close with my own sisters. They chose spouses from the U.S., and the road hasn’t been smooth. There were moments when things came close to breaking. But alhamdulillah, with patience and effort, things have stabilized. My brother in laws follow me here. lol. but they are chill homies. thanks to my mother who reformed them quickly. The truth is, it isn’t easy. There’s no simple formula anymore. The one time-tested approach—marrying and remaining in a familiar cultural environment—still works for some, but it’s not realistic for many people today.

@movetomuscat @aballofwei67254 Where do you search to find a good wife now a days. Most people I know are on online apps and talk extensively before involving parents. I would rather talk to the father first but the problem is finding that modest women who avoids interacting with non mahrams.

How about being part of Religious Liberty Commission from which @SameerahMunshi and @CarriePrejean1 recently resigned because of—-at the very least waste of time? Just curious how it’s any different? If you have resigned then I take it back.

@movetomuscat He told his father in law that he's not going to play these games and that he either gives his daughter straight after nikkah or there is no nikkah. Obviously he was nice about it not as bold as I make it but I believe if a man steps up he can make marriage very easy

Muslims are more awakened than anyone else honestly. But since we are orphans in the sense that there is no political/military institution that speaks for all of us and safeguards our rights, there is not much one can do other than private stuff. either that or you have to put your lot with one of these nation-states that can be useful in some regards but ultimately looks at you as a threat.

Let me ask you this brother: did you take the Covid vaccine? If you didn’t, then you are a conspiracy theorist whether you like it or not. It simply means you refused to outsource your judgment when the pressure was at its peak. Good for you. You saved yourself from what we know now to be poison. If you did take it, that doesn’t make you foolish or weak. It means you were operating inside a system of persuasion so vast, so coordinated, that individual resistance becomes the exception. Governments, media, corporations, expert institutions—all speaking in one voice, all narrowing the space of doubt until compliance feels like reason itself. So we got to understand what is at work. Similarly, in the past the Mighty Wurlitzers (google it) sold us things that we simple minded (read good natured) people did not think was possible for people to come up with in bad faith. So time and again we feel for schemes. It does not mean absolving the Muslims of their shortcomings, which God knows are many, but to point out that often who we were and are dealing are downright Satanists and there is no good manual out there (outside of our abandoned religious texts and traditions) to teach us how to deal with these demons. So often we are sitting ducks for them. It is about a deeper asymmetry: between the individual mind and systems designed, with enormous resources, to anticipate and steer it. Most people are not choosing freely in the way they imagine; they are navigating within corridors that have already been built for them. You are a victim of this yourself. In fact I think, Muslims are not conspiratorial enough considering what is being done to them. Being conspiratorial saves life.
ُ@kelevitch

The Muslim world is addicted to conspiracy theories. And conspiracy theories are the intellectual opium of the defeated. When you cannot explain your own failure you blame the other. The Jews control everything. The West planned everything. The CIA did everything. The Mossad arranged everything. Some of it is true. Western interference is real. Israeli intelligence operations are real. Colonial manipulation is documented. But here is what the conspiracy theory does that is so destructive: It removes our responsibility. If the CIA destroyed us we don’t have to ask why we were destroyable. If the Mossad controls everything we don’t have to ask why we have no counter-intelligence. If the West humiliates us we don’t have to ask why we produce nothing they need except oil. The conspiracy theory is comfortable. It is also a lie not because foreign interference doesn’t exist, but because it makes foreign interference the cause rather than the EXPLOITER of our weakness. The Mongols didn’t destroy Baghdad only because they were powerful but because we were divided, corrupt, and had stopped producing the intellectual and military capacity to defend ourselves. Same goes for the Europeans. They colonized us because we had already colonized ourselves m with ignorance, with sectarianism, with corrupt rulers, with closed minds. And today, America and Israel are not bombing the Muslim world because they are omnipotent. No rather because 57 Muslim countries cannot agree on a single unified response. Because our rulers fear their own people more than they fear foreign armies. Because we produce oil but not the technology to defend it. The greatest enemy of this ummah is not the sword of the enemy. It is the corruption of the scholar, the injustice of the ruler, and the ignorance of the people

@Azam_Mac_89 The adults in the room have to call out the saboteurs. I do that with Afghan nationalists. They can’t be allowed to hijack the discourses. I understand that sharif people don’t want to get their hands dirtied but we got no choice.

I’d honestly say the same to my fellow Punjabis. Allah can honour a people and He can disgrace a people. When you engage in generalisations of Pashtuns or blanket racism because of an incident or group of people (rather than a criticism of the individuals specifically) - be warned every zulm has its consequences in this life and in the hereafter. Our qaum has been blessed by Allah with fertile land, Islam, strong communal ties amongst us, a preeminent language and a heritage/history that is undeniable in our region. Everything else is just noise. There’s a lot of manufactured ethnic animosity being pushed by elements within the Pakistani establishment, anti-establishment groups and frankly many non-Pakistani accounts. None of it is being done with good intentions nor with your benefit in mind. Punjabis and Pashtuns have been living as neighbours to one another for hundreds of years. There’s a lot more commonality than bigots on either side are willing to admit. Empires have come and gone. Political parties, elites, leaders & even states - come and go. Your neighbours however will be a constant throughout all of this because you share a home. You do not need to engage in racism or insult Pashtuns to make a point about behaviour in parks or public spaces. Nor should you respond to racism against Punjabis - with racism of your own. It’s a zero sum game where the shaytaan is the only winner. Arrogance or putting yourself above another or a race of people in this case is exactly how shaytaan was disgraced by Allah by putting himself above Adam (as). That pride and its destructive effects will not be immune to Punjabis or Pashtuns that engage in it - just as shaytaan was not immune to it. So do better.
abul ma’ali@abulmaali_

To my fellow Pashtuns: Allah has honoured our people, and Muslims from all over the world respect us. I know you all see the astroturfed hatred towards us on the media (traditional and social), including the obnoxious stereotypes, the outright racism, the accusations of terrorism, homosexuality, drug addiction and worse. Yes, people will post videos of Pashtuns being nuisances in Islamabad or Lahore, and they’ll spread them and put a short message about how we’re incompatible with their civilization and some other ugly rhetoric. They will ignore that these people causing a ruckus are often displaced people who grew up as orphans without guidance, and in some cases the filthiest of them actually fled KPK/Afghanistan themselves because their filth wasn’t tolerated there, meanwhile they can get away with it in Islamabad. Regardless of the reason for their actions, the inorganic campaign to demonize us (coming from certain institutions and political parties) is clear as day. My request to Pashtuns is simple: Do not EVER engage in tit-for-tat racism. I don’t care if a Sindhi or Punjabi attacks you — call HIM ignorant, stupid or whatever — but do not insult his people or his lineage. People being racist to us does not justify us crossing the limits that Allah set for us. Why should a practising Muslim Sindhi have his entire ethnicity insulted because of some imbecile on Facebook or Twitter insulted you? May Allah grant us wisdom and protect our people & protect the Muslims as a whole.

'Male masturbation may have an adaptive benefit: it flushes out damaged, stored sperm.' New Oxford research suggests that the longer sperm are stored before ejaculation, the lower their quality, with implications for men trying to conceive and IVF treatment. Find out more ⬇️

But that’s not what your country (assuming you are Qatari) was recommending. You basically went against the recommendations and actually orders of your own country as this link shows in detail what the gov did during COVID. So you didn’t trust them? amazingqatar.qa We now know that the vaccines don’t work to stop the spread. Nor the quarantine. You see even govts fall pray to sophisticated agendas. Is it really then fair to criticize the common Muslims for “not showing responsibility” as the enemies plan for their demise? You see my point? “The Ministry of Education and Higher Education announce stricter measures, effective March 21, for school staff who will not be allowed to enter school premises without showing the golden vaccination stamp on EHTERAZ or providing a weekly negative Covid-19 test”

So did you take the vaccine or not? Because if you did, then wasn’t it your responsibility to know what was happening? In the same vein a lot of people fell through the decades and continue to fall for the sleight of hand. I don’t blame you if you did. And if you didn’t then you are actually a conspiracy theorist as somehow you knew that a group of people were cooking something. So I don’t understand the criticism.
