One could easily speak of the surface level parallels between the quadrants of a court yard and the 4 rivers of paradise. Or point to the lack of figural depictions and so on... But I want to reach for the core of the topic here, so here we go: The question is not who invented…
Point received - I have about 9 emails to get to before I lay out what can be considered Islamic about these buildings 1 by 1. I must preface this by saying you are looking at it from a modern western lens. Rational beyond reason - as you try to force these buildings into…
ngl - Gen Z doesn’t seem to value privacy much. It’s one of those old-school conservative values that kinda fell through the cracks as times changed. Conditioned by social media - posting stories, tagging locations and places, snap map…
There’s a conversation to be had about the new location feature and privacy. It’s like we’ve been reduced to crypto wallets on the block chain. I get the hype/fun of being able to expose accounts. But in life to win some you have to lose some - and I think we tend to proceed…

Imagine had form followed function here...
The Quest for the Origins of Gothic Architecture - Part 3: Someone very rightly called out that the Basilica of Maxentius (a secular building) in Rome used piers instead of slender columns ~150 years before Qalb Lozeh in Syria. That signals to us that the engineering that…
We now know for a fact Qalb Lozeh Church here is the oldest surviving example of a fully developed two towered facade. Early Christian architecture historian, Richard Krautheimer (Considered a seriously credible and leading authority on Christian and Byzantine architecture),…
Hence the home of the American diplomatic mission in Tangier established in 1821. It’s the first American public property located abroad, and the only U.S. National Historic Landmark outside the country. And in a beautiful gesture of diplomatic hospitality, the building was not…
“Ohh myy gooosh America’s first war was with “Islam” read about the Barbary wars” 🤣🤣 By that logic America’s first and longest standing friendship is also with “Islam” read about the first country to recognize US independence in 1777 and signed a treaty of peace and friendship…

The American mind can comprehend it at about 3X the scale.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the quest for the origins of Gothic Architecture continues... This was going to be one long form post for X and Substack. But I think we'll walk this journey together as we peel back the layers over several posts. Our Journey starts in the Dead Cities of…

In arabic we say فيها خير (Feeha khayr) almost instinctively - roughly translates to surely it contains a blessing. From stubbing your toe to breaking an arm - feeha khayr. The premise being nothing happens except by God’s will. And there is good in all that God chooses.
Life hack: interpret all setbacks as divine intervention. Your flight got delayed. Instead of getting annoyed, allow yourself to be filled with gratitude. Convince yourself that the delay was not the result of the airline’s incompetence; but rather - it was God’s plan. You…
Top tier rage bate. But what’s alarming is how many in the replies don’t realize Arabic numerals are literally 0-9 Fibonacci studied and learned the 0-9 system in the Almohad Caliphate, in Bejaia modern-day Algeria. In 1202, he introduced the system to Europe in his Liber…
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals.

I get the long term vs short term risks, But society absolutely fails to consider how destructive alcohol can be in the immediate term. I've never seen someone smoke and beat their wife + children. I've never seen someone smoke and crash their car - risking the lives of…
