We are creatures charged with action. And we will be judged for those actions.
If our motive is to please a loved one, it dies with the passing of our beloved.
If our motive is to acquire fame and riches, they end with our passing.
However, if what drives us to act is Allah, Allah is Everlasting, Undying.

I met him when I was in Mauritania. I rode on a very crowded back of a Hilux, crowded with baggage, humans and livestock, hanging on the the edge of the truck for dear life the whole way, which was a few hours on the road, after which, we were dropped off and had to walk another few hours off road to get to Taysīr, his Maḥḍarah (Madrasah village).
Taysīr was one of the best organized and laid out Maḥāḍir in all of …

The land of Shinqit has just lost and mourned one of its great pillars of scholarship, Muhammad al-Hasan Walad Ahmadu al-Khadim al-Yaʿqubi al-Shinqiti. He passed away today.
He was one of the top scholars of the Maliki Madhab.

And they cried out, "O AI, make me a muftī in my image." And it made mistakes but they were not mistakes, because the AI said so and the AI, designed and trained by tech bros, was their proof before God.
Over the last few months, I've had several conversations with friends and acquaintances that have exposed unwarranted levels of confidence in the capabilities of LLM models.
In one instance, a friend was excited to…

A word of advice to those who hope to teach one day
Shaykh Dr. al-Bashīr ʿIṣām al-Murrākushī (ḥ) says:
❝One of the mistakes made by some who step forward to teach the Islamic sciences is this:
A person studies a text, masters it, and then assumes that he is able to teach it.
The correct approach is that you cannot teach a text unless you have mastered what lies above it, even if only by one level.
For example, i…

There are a lot of functional tasks that LLMs can do which erase much of the tedium in modern life. I absolutely hate negotiating over cars (I hate negotiating in general), so I co-created* an agent with an LLM to do much of the dirty work.
It is important to note that when I say "co-created," I mean that I gave it detailed specs and then did very minimal code review. Though I've created scripts, microservices, and …

Artistic expression is a tool that can enigmatize patently fallacious ideas, thereby sanitizing them. Some eloquence truly is akin to sorcery in its ability to manipulate and overcome men’s intellects.
It truly is a scary realization, especially when you recognize its effects on your own cognition.

P.S. Believing psychics can benefit you or are reliable sources of knowledge is filthy shirk.

There’s a pattern with the individual referenced that tends towards disdain of Islam and Muslims as well as a penchant for sparking controversy. If you took social media algorithms and deployed it to discover what’s likely to get most engagement with a Muslim audience, you’d probably end up with the same spattering of…

If you speak incorrectly about the history for why the printing press was "banned" in the Muslim world the first time (c. 2013), chances are your analysis will be wrong the second time as well (2026).
Bringing up oversimplistic and Orientalist-inspired narratives like "The Muslims banned the printing press because the scholars feared it" do a disservice to the field of Islamic legal history.
It also creates a false…

On the one hand, individual Muslims are not obligated to employ people. And the categories of people one is obligated to support is limited, with exceptions for cases of financia…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @somaliki. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
