Donald Trump is not only a convicted felon, self-confessed rapist and fraud but a war criminal. Despite signing the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran on June 18, 2026, he has continued to violate its terms. He is now openly committing war crimes against Islamic Iran.

Opinion

Committed Muslims have to live according to the teachings of the Qur’an and the Prophetic sunnah. Two principles stand out among many others: Tawhid (Oneness of Allah) and social justice. Adherence to these is what makes an Islamic personality.

The issue of who should have become the leader of Muslims after the Prophet (ﷺ) left this temporary abode is laden with emotions. To understand why the Muslims made certain decisions, familiarity with the environment at the time is important.

While the Arabian rulers in West Asia are incapable of defending themselves, their reliance on the US and zionist Israel has also proved illusionary. Three countries—Islamic Iran, Pakistan and Turkiye—and potentially Egypt can create stability in the region.

The death of the former Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani would be a non-event except that he launched his tiny sheikhdom on the path of total subservience to the US and zionist Israel. Qatar continues to punch way above its weight and could result in serious negative consequences.

August coincides with several anniversaries in Pakistan’s tortuous history. From its fraudulent independence in 1947, to India’s abrogation of Kashmir’s autonomous status to Pakistan’s thuggish generals arresting the country’s most popular leader, Imran Khan. It is a sorry record.

Why does every Pakistan wish to flee the country? The criminals and thieves that rule the country are suffocating the people. Life has become extremely precarious for an average person. Fleeing the country seems to be the only option for survival. Pity the country.

News & Analysis

Attacks on oil tankers and vessels in the Strait of Hormuz can be traced to the “tanker war” between 1981-1988. The western-Arabian-Communist-backed Iraqi-imposed war on Islamic Iran was in full swing. The US wanted to cripple Iran’s economy by attacking its oil tankers.

News & Analysis

Islamic Iran has the longest coastline along the Strait of Hormuz. The US lies thousands of miles away yet it wants to control it. Under what law do the American warlords make such a claim, apart from gangsterism and sheer greed? They will not succeed; they must not succeed.

In classical Sunni political theory, bay‘ah is often treated as a stabilizing mechanism, a safeguard against civil chaos (fitnah). However, looked at through the Qur’anic lens, bay‘ah becomes a conditional trust (amānah), accountability-based governance and revocable political consent.

The Qur’anic verse, 4:59 is often misinterpreted as a blank check for rulers. It is a conditional delegation of authority embedded in accountability. There is absolute obedience to Allah; normative authority to the Messenger and conditional authority to the ruler.
