Mostly intelligible rambles.
- Throwing that piece of wood in the end is a bit reminiscent of Refaat’s words that he’d resist with an expo marker if it was the last thing he did. Struggle till the end, and an end attained through continuous struggle.WATCH: Drone footage of Sinwar's final moments
00:00 - Does this count as whimsy?
Normalise embracing whimsy as an adult. This the the desk at which I write my adorable children’s books - Here you go, folks.
Going stargazing tonight In Sha’ Allah. Either y’all will see gorgeous pics, or will have to bear with my memoirs. - You don’t need therapy. You need good friends, ambitions, Vitamin D, and, most importantly, God.

- The cringe aside, this is the archetype of the commodification of religion. A friend was speaking recently of how the American complaint in the Haramayn is a lack of charging ports. A relationship with God ﷻ is foregone to produce a Pinterest-worthy picture.
- After everything one has seen—headless corpses, children with their intestines sprawling across and their brains oozing out, families wailing at the loss of loved ones and yet proclaiming praises of God تعالى with every word—if this life isn’t spent in service it’s a life wasted.طفلته تحترق بجانبه ويحاول إنقاذها..
