- no one: some guy on LinkedIn: Yesterday, I interviewed an excellent candidate. But he seemed poor. I do not like that. I told him he does not deserve to be happy. He wept, “Please King, I am a human!” I thought, “Wow, he is a human.” I hired him. A learned a lesson: I am great.
- bought boba and they gave me a paper straw. it stopped allowing bobular transit after like 5 minutes. this is not what my parents imagined for me when they left India
- I think the average person does not understand how alienating it can be that so much of the professional world revolves around alcohol. I said in a residency interview today that I actually don’t drink, and a doctor said “Well, if you live here, you’ll learn to drink.” Excuse me?
- One thing Harry Potter got right is that there are no Muslim characters. Can you imagine some Hufflepuff character named Farhan Siddiqui? No one would believe it. Farhan’s mom Noreen would get a letter from a magic school called Hogwarts and rip it up while reciting Ayatul Kursi.
- There is simply no surrender like the surrender of a Muslim to Allah’s decree.Replying to @alexiszotosMarcellus Williams left this as his last statement.
- LeBron: Kyrie we need to leave it all on the floor Kyrie: The dunya is an illusion akhi
- My dad and I regularly talk on the phone and he always asks me gently how marriage/my wife is (great alhamdulillāh), if we’re *happy*, and if I’m doing “special things” for her. He then asks to speak with her to check. I love it. He’s the kind of father(-in-law) I aspire to be.
- I’m sick of the inaccurate reporting around Musk buying Twitter. Articles keep calling him the richest man in the world, but we still have no evidence of him waking up in the morning to pray Fajr.
- 🇺🇸: yea you can crash on my couch the entire Muslim world: you will sleep on my bed and I will sleep and the cold hard floor of my kitchen
- I know not everyone wants another sappy marriage thread, but on the eve of our nikaah anniversary and as the year draws to a close, I have some feelings and advice to pass on.
