That Islamic Iran (annual defence budget $7.5 billion) defeated the combined military might of US and zionist Israel (combined annual military budget $1.5 trillion) is nothing short of a miracle. It was the result of a shift in Iran’s strategic thinking from defensive to offensive operations.

Donald Trump suffers from delusions. He thinks that he has wiped out Iran’s navy, army, missiles and drones and that the US controls the Strait of Hormuz. Islamic Iran has decided to cure him of his delusions. The Iranians appear to be having success.

For 47 years, Islamic Iran has been under illegal US sanctions. While they have caused much suffering to ordinary Iranians, officials have also learned to bypass the sanctions and survive. The latest US economic sanctions are faring no better. Most countries refuse to abide by them.

That most Muslims profess deep love for the Prophet (ﷺ) is not in doubt. What is lacking is a clear understanding of the broader dimensions of his seerah. He was not sent merely to call people to sessions of dhikr; his life was spent in intense struggle against the mushriks.

The understanding and interpretation of the early history of Islam is hotly contested by Muslims leading to polarization and divisions. This is particularly acute regarding the rule of the third Khalifah Uthman and of Imam Ali. In this segment, Abu Dharr explains the background.

The war criminals Trump and Netanyahu’s failure in their illegal war on Iran has led the evil duo to desperation. It cannot be ruled out that they may stage another 911-type false flag operation and blame it on Iran to get the Americans’ support for continuation of the war.

The Turkiye-Saudi-Pakistan defence pact announced last month is viewed by observers differently. For some it is an alliance against zionist Israel (unlikely), for others, its target is the Yemeni Ansarallah and Islamic Iran (mor plausible). So far, there has been little action.

The takfiri rulers of Syria were supported, financed and nurtured by the US, Israel and Turkiye and brought to power in December 2024. Since then, they have done everything to show their subservience to the US and Israel and act against the interests of Muslims.

Pakistanis are a strange breed. Outwardly, they show adherence to the rituals of Islam but their conduct is anything but. Hypocrisy, fraud and crookedness are embedded in their genes. It starts from the top and flows all the way to the bottom. Such people can never make progress.
