My Ramadan Musing being featured by @ABCReligion. Such an honour. Tell me what you think about it?
"The Prophet Muhammad placed great emphasis on communal worship. To hold his community together, especially in times of need, I suspect he would have used whatever tools he had — both physical and virtual," writes @Azfarism. ab.co/35hHwlR
This thread is just *chef's kiss* and greatly summarises the complex intersections between Muslim dogmatist confessional beliefs & early Islamic origins held under academic rigour. And also why I gave up being an Ustaz--it's too hard to simplify, and too important to disregard.
I have been asked to comment on this thread, so here is my take as a Muslim academic in Islamic studies: This thread is terrible & reveals the shoddy approach of many ex-Muslim anti-Islamic folks & other Islamophobes. Buckle in. 1/
This. This. This. Thank you so much @SanaSaeed! youtu.be/-8jN-Suxos0

Dayum @TheEconomist why you gotta be shady like that? "Political successions" "abdication" "pugnacious" "linger as Prime Minister" "interregnum" lololol economist.com/asia/2021/04/0…
In my experience, religious zealots are usually more obsessed with sex than the rest of us 'sinners'. It's internal imbalance caused by a repression of one's sexuality. nyti.ms/2NywTqi

I'm proud to say that I was part of the #RhodesMustFall movement back in @UniofOxford. However, as a historian, it's expedient to measure the morality of the past with the standards of the present. Who's to decide on the universality of all good & evil? youtu.be/3G8Mn8nfwv4

An Unfortunate Fact About British Universities
Oh come on! You can't just zero-ed in on Sri Lanka, and then casually infer that it's the same in other Asian and African states. What if Sri Lanka was just the exception? Who sponsored this article? How disappointing @TheAtlantic @TheAtlIdeas! theatlantic.com/international/…

Was really feeling depressed that I'm about to turn a year older but then @TomBrady happened and proved that age is truly just...an excuse. (Now increasing my retinol to 1%) nyti.ms/3cS2Iou
Religion, fame, money, and men should never mix. When has this combination ever been good in history? Tell me...I'll wait. nyti.ms/2IgHe7R
Was going to cocoon and watch Netflix but fought the urge and went for a run instead. Totally worth it.
So basically I've been wasting my superlikes on Tinder? #AgeofDeception #Iwantarefund nytimes.com/interactive/20…
This article attacked me. I felt that, @TheAtlantic. theatlantic.com/family/archive…

First, we have the 'futurists'. Now apparently one can be paid to be a moralist, pessimist, and for having existential crises. I've never felt like a proletariat before this lolol. newyorker.com/culture/annals… via @NewYorker
America now is basically one big conspiratorial paranoia. Smh.
Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD.
I've been refreshing the @nytimes app non-stop for the past few days and actually fell off a staircase last night. And then this! #Democracy @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @realDonaldTrump
I know everyone is looking forward to The Crown, but Sophia Loren is making a comeback and people are already shouting Oscars. The woman is magnificent. youtu.be/a0ejncDxgCc
