HABITS I STOLE FROM MUSLIMS WHO NEVER MISS FAJR AND DON'T HATE WAKING UP.

None of them involve "More Iman," cold showers, or sleeping at 9 PM.

It's all in what they do the night before.
1. They make wudu the moment they decide to sleep. Not "before bed." Before sleep.

One sister told me: "I treat wudu like locking the front door. I don't go to sleep without it. When the alarm rings, I'm not starting from zero. I'm continuing something I already began."

She hasn't missed Fajr in 7 years.
2. They never negotiate with the alarm.

Not "just 5 more minutes." Not "let me check my phone first."

The alarm rings → feet on the floor within 10 seconds.

A sister who's been consistent for 11 years told me: "I made the decision once in a calm moment, during the day. When the alarm rings, there is no new decision. The decision was already made. I just obey it."

She said the people who think about whether to get up have already lost.

Overslept Fajr? Don’t panic - the Sunnah prayer isn’t lost.

Here’s the proof:
Islam doesn’t punish you for what you didn’t intend.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“There is no negligence in missing prayer unintentionally through sleep. Negligence is only while awake. If one of you forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers. (Tirmidhi)
And yes - that includes the Sunnah of Fajr.

The Prophet ﷺ and the companions once overslept on a journey.

When they woke up, he ﷺ: prayed the Sunnah of Fajr first, then the Fard.
(Sahih Muslim 681)

Do you know what the Prophet ﷺ said is better than this world and everything in it?
The Prophet ﷺ said:

"The two rak'ahs before Fajr are better than the world and everything in it."

(Sahih Muslim 725)
Just two short rak'ahs.

A deed many people rush through or miss completely...

The Prophet ﷺ said they're better than this entire world and all it contains.

May Allah make us among those who guard this beautiful Sunnah. آمين

A resident in the Al-Jalaa area in North Gaza contacted us about an injured cat in the street. After she took her to the vet, it turned out someone had brought the cat in for treatment a few days prior, only to abandon her after learni

​Our team went immediately to the location and brought her to the medical point. Upon examination, we found a spinal fracture that caused lower-body paralysis.

1. Havana Syndrome aka AHI aka DEBE

Luckily David Relman managed to share his thoughts:

“Neurological Illness and National Security: Lessons to Be Learned. March 18, 2024"

See:
microwavenews.com/sites/default/…

and

2. More recently we learned

"Assessments were deliberately manufactured & used to discredit some of our nation’s bravest & impede access to medical care. As was the case with other high-visibility intel assessments (Covid-19?), it fell far short of analytic integrity standards"
3. "Today’s action by @TulsiGabbard is a glimmer of hope for our nation’s intelligence officers, service members, & diplomats who have defended this country in austere locations and subsequently had the nation they served turn its back on them"

JUST FILED: A dramatic and deeply embarrassing loss for Team Trump

Justice Dept admits damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was the result of a "botched installation and rushed job

They move to dismiss criminal destruction/vandalism case
The massive and embarrassing mistake by Trump’s Justice Dept risks further eroding trust of the department with:

Judges
Grand jurors
Trial jurors
The public

Huge black eye. Self-induced
The embarrassing collapse of the Trump Administration's Reflecting Pool criminal case risks deeply eroding the credibility of US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who has already failed in her attempts to secure grand jury indictments here in DC... in other matters.

Here we go again. The core of the issues here is district court judges abusing their authority by issuing “stays” to large scale government programs to “preserve the status quo” while briefing occurs. This is not how it works. I’ll explain more below.
First, there is no authority for a court to “stay” a program. What the court can do (and effectively did do here) is issue an TRO. But in a TRO, the PLAINTIFFS bear the burden of making a clear showing that they are entitled to relief.
The judge here did not even pretend to do an analysis of how plaintiffs met that burden. Instead, without the government even getting a chance to respond, she effectively enjoined the program until more briefing can occur. This is an abuse of discretion.

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn

Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor" Image
Big admission of a big mistake by Team Trump

In court filing tonight, Justice Dept admits they have information about Reflecting Pool: "showing that the damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism as initially represented by Dept of Interior" Image
US Atty Jeanine Pirro's court filing says Justice Dept met w/ park officials on July 1 at Reflecting Pool.. but admits pool "remained filled w/ water, making it difficult to observe the condition of the floor of the entire pool, which was mostly obscured as it covered w/ water"

This is going to be a long one! But i could not believe my ears when I heard @KellyPowersBPA use Romans 14 to essentially say a man is free in Christ to Sodomise his wife, in a conversation with @Trent_Horn
Kelly often defends “Sola Scriptura”, but respectfully he is not SS, he is Solo Scriptura.

For Kelly and many evangelicals, if you cannot find something VERBATIM in Scripture then it’s not “biblical”. That is not Sola Scriptura
A husband and wife can commit sodomy together. Marriage makes them lawful sexual partners, but it does not make every sexual act they perform lawful. The morality of an act depends upon its nature, not merely the marital status or consent of those performing it.

Many musicians have done a pretty good job of exploring what is generally called "world music" and incorporating it into their sound. But only two stand out in my opinion: Peter Gabriel and this gentleman.

A difference between the two is that Gabriel had a wider geographical reach and also mentored and sponsored a few musicians through WOMAD and Real World Records (Youssou N'Dour, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan), while Byrne mostly searched inspiration in the Caribbean and Latin America.
The other difference is that Gabriel incorporated those influences into his own sound "mix", i.e. blending it with other sources, while Byrne essentially kept the roots and the rhythm and just created lyrics to go with that.
