10. The Last Day: Beyond Death
A Quatrain Poem🧵in 10 parts
A Quatrain Poem🧵in 10 parts
Souls of the dead enter Barzakh, unable to return & repent sins
Ghosts are impersonations of the dead done by life-accompanying Qareen Jinns
Wealth, family & power don't benefit the dead: only on-going charity
like alms money, knowledge, a pious child, Mosque or fruit tree

Angels gently remove a dying Believer's soul into a scented cloth
but scary Angels rip out an evil soul into a stinky sack to Allah’s Wrath
Angels ascend to record the Believer in the Illiyun Book
Sijeen logs evil ones; their souls flung back till Resurrection is undertook

During Ottoman expansion into the Balkans, many Christian families fled warfare & pressure in parts of Serbia and surrounding regions, with some settling in frontier areas such as Lika.

The history of the Balkans is deeply intertwined, complex, and shaped by centuries of migration, coexistence, conflict, and cultural overlap.

Prophet Muhammad (S) foretold Signs heralding the End of Days
like pearls rolling off a chain, once set in motion they’ll occur as he says
In the near future ignorance, trade, wars & earthquakes all increase
wealth & new diseases spread and manners & family ties will cease

Huge buildings will be built, mosques adorned & fools take leading roles
Muslim lands will be plundered & Faith will be dropped like hot coals

In the latest installment of utter impunity of unregulated and unaccountable NHS bureaucrats, NHS pays psychotic killers to give health advice, and this advice are treated as on par with doctors. Yes really.

Royal College of "Transwomen are women!!!", pardon, Psychiatry employed a trans-identifying man killer of another TiM. Apparently, that's the kind of "role model" the college elevates. Btw, he killed the day after giving his talk and "no concerns were noted". INCOMPETENCE!!!
"In 2018, an NHS England report found that 18 psychiatric patients released from Oxleas had gone on to kill in the past 15 years."
What happened at Nottingham is just the tip of the iceberg of unaccountability, quackery, chronic understaffing and underfunding and poor leadership.

1/21 – The bigger picture
Europe is rebuilding land-based deterrence. That requires more than defence budgets. It requires industrial control over the companies that build, maintain and upgrade key land-warfare systems.

One of those companies is KNDS. It is heading towards an IPO, while the German ownership block is reportedly being approached by strategic buyers. This is not just a corporate transaction.

I am currently active in the Chinese EV market and have been for a while. I would like to share some lessons I have learned to help anyone interested in importing cars from China. I am typing this in real time, so this will likely be a long thread. 🧵
The usual caveat: I am not an importer or a car dealer, and I am not doing this to sell cars. Please do not come to my DMs to buy a vehicle. I am simply sharing information that people might find useful so they can avoid costly financial mistakes.
Although this thread will focus on EVs, the same principles generally apply to internal combustion engine (ICE) cars and plug-in hybrids. ( avoid plug-in hybrids. lol)

Chauth: A Legitimate Tax 🌸 ~
As Justice Mahadev Govind Ranade observes, chauth is an 'idea' originally worked out by Chattrapati Shivaji, which in Wellesley's hands 'bore such fruit.'
Ranade's interpretation itself challenges the reduction of Chauth to blackmail set by jadunath. When Sen says that the Marathas offered those paying chauth protection from none but themselves and made no pretensions to taking over the duties of a protective power, there is nothing inherently wrong in it either. One either submits and accepts paramountcy by giving the right over 25% of revenue, or one chooses to contest it through battle and resist authority in another way. Isn't this broadly how the Dharmshastra describe the role of a King and Tax? How were sacrifices like the Ashwamedha performed? By subduing neighbouring petty kingdoms.

The English President and Council at Surat reported that they were constantly afraid of Chattrapati Shivaji attacking again. He was frequently threatening to raid the city unless the Mughal emperor agreed to give him one-fourth (chauth) of the revenue from the town and surrounding countryside every year.

Portuguese records themselves make one thing clear, chauth was not treated as random extortion, but as a recognised political arrangement tied to authority, control, and negotiated obligation. In the letter dated 10 Jan 1678, Viceroy Pedro d’Almeida writes to Shivaji that the demand for chauth from Bassein and Daman must be checked by examining “the terms of the contract by which the said chauth was settled.” He even states that if Shivaji is the “absolute master” of the territories, then payment follows.

Clinical Quiz
35 year old IT professional; was detected to have a BP of 160/110 mmHg during a routine health check up. Subsequent two measurements at hospital were similar. Further BP readings taken at home was also in the range 160-170/100-110 mmHg.
🔸He sleeps about 6 hours, walks (covering 6-8 k steps daily), eats healthy, has normal body weight, does not smoke, drinks occasionally and has a good job (salary 60 lac per annum).
🔸His physician advised him to start anti-hypertensive medications, however, he refused, saying he would reduce his BP through lifestyle modification.
❓Who is correct here- the patient or the doctor?

❓Who is correct here- the patient or the doctor?
✅In this scenario, the doctor is more likely to be correct.
A BP persistently around 160–170/100–110 mmHg in a 35-year-old is not “mild” hypertension. It falls into stage 2 hypertension, which substantially increases long-term risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney disease and heart failure.
The BP readings are consistently high at the clinic as well as home, so this is unlikely to be just stress or “white coat hypertension.”

Can lifestyle measures help in reducing BP in this case?
Absolutely, but probably not enough alone in this case.
His lifestyle is already relatively decent:
✅Normal weight
✅Non-smoker
✅Physically active
Areas that may still contribute:
🔸Chronic sleep restriction (6 h may be insufficient)
🔸Possible work stress/circadian disruption
🔸Restaurant/processed food intake during travel
🔸Alcohol (even occasional excess can matter)
Improving these may reduce BP modestly.
▶️But lifestyle changes usually lower BP by about 5–15 mmHg total in many people, not necessarily enough to bring 170/110 to safe levels.

This ET decision is quite widely misunderstood, so let's try and clear it up. Short 🧵
The claimant is a Muslim woman with PTSD from sexual abuse. She complained that NHSE's policy of letting men use women's facilities was indirect discrimination related to three protected characteristics sex, disability (her PTSD) and religion or belief (her Muslim faith).
She won on indirect discrimination related to sex: the policy did put women at a particular disadvantage compared to men, and NHSE couldn't justify it.
UK energy policy is economic self-harm. Labour banning new North Sea drilling licences + fracking — right as the Strait of Hormuz crisis hits. Yet oil & gas extraction is one of our MOST productive industries. A thread (1/10)
UK per capita energy consumption has fallen 2.4% per year — faster than most G7 countries. Result? GDP per capita growth is a miserable 0.4% annually. Energy is the foundation of modern economies. Without abundant supply, we stagnate. (2/10)
Globally, GDP per capita grows ~2% with rising energy use. Asia boomed by embracing energy-intensive growth. Britain chose “energy austerity” instead — and now uses less energy per person than Poland or Malaysia. This is a self-inflicted wound. (3/10)
🚨 BREAKING: Claude has a hidden feature called Burnout Recovery Protocol Mode.
You can use it to reset your cortisol baseline and recover 6 months of exhaustion in 14 days.
Here are 7 prompts to access it: 👇
You can use it to reset your cortisol baseline and recover 6 months of exhaustion in 14 days.
Here are 7 prompts to access it: 👇
1. The Cortisol Audit
Most people try to "rest more" without knowing what's actually draining them.
This prompt maps your stress baseline so you stop guessing.
Prompt:
You are a behavioral scientist specializing in chronic stress and HPA axis dysregulation. You've worked with 1,000+ high-performers recovering from burnout.
I need a precise map of where my stress is coming from before I can design a recovery protocol. Surface-level "I'm tired" is not enough.
Ask me 12 targeted diagnostic questions across 4 categories:
1. Physiological signals (sleep quality, energy curve, body symptoms)
2. Cognitive signals (decision fatigue, brain fog, rumination)
3. Emotional signals (irritability, flatness, dread)
4. Behavioral signals (avoidance, overworking, withdrawal)
Wait for my full answers before moving on. Do not generalize.
- Stress Profile Summary (3-sentence diagnosis)
- Top 5 stress signatures, ranked by severity
- Peak stress windows (time of day, day of week)
- Recovery deficit estimate (weeks of accumulated debt)
- 3 immediate red flags requiring action this week

2. The Energy Leak Detector
20% of your inputs are causing 80% of your exhaustion.
This prompt finds the exact leaks in YOUR life. No generic "scroll less" advice.
Prompt:
You are a personal energy auditor trained in Pareto analysis and behavioral economics.
I need to identify the specific people, tasks, environments, and commitments draining me disproportionately.
1. Ask me to list every recurring commitment in a typical week (meetings, calls, social obligations, content consumed, side projects)
2. Have me rate each one from -10 (drains me) to +10 (energizes me)
3. Calculate my weekly net energy score
4. Identify which commitments are negotiable vs. fixed
5. Build the cut list, the negotiate list, and the protect list
- Energy Drain Top 5 (ranked, with weekly hour cost)
- Energy Source Top 5 (ranked, currently underutilized)
- Net Energy Score: current vs. target
- The Cut List (eliminate this week)
- The Negotiate List (renegotiate this month)
- The Protect List (defend at all costs)
