📢 6 DAYS TO GO before we march! On Saturday May 16th we need everyone who can make it to be in London. We will march to commemorate the Nakba – the catastrophe inflicted on the Palestinian people since the foundation of Israel in 1948. For 78 years, Palestinians have been subjected to a racist system of oppression including ethnic cleansing, settler-colonialism, apartheid and genocide.  We march to reaffirm our commitment to the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including the refugees’ right to return home. We march to demand an end to Britain’s complicity in Israel’s crimes. We march against the far right in Britain who glorify Israel’s racism and brutality. Our unity and solidarity is stronger than their hatred and division. Stand with the Palestinian people whose demand for justice is as important now as ever before.

Coming soon to digitalhijrah.com 👇 Tutorial 1: Getting Started with Linux A free downloadable PDF guide — concise, practical, no fluff — for anyone ready to make the switch from Windows or macOS. Covers everything from choosing your first distro to a fully encrypted running system. No prior experience assumed. #Linux #DigitalHijrah #DigitalSovereignty #Privacy

The concept of Hijrah - migration away from what harms toward what is better - is not merely historical. We live in a digital environment where: → Our savings are eroded by inflation engineered by central banks → Our private conversations are surveilled and sold → The tools we use daily — Google, WhatsApp, Microsoft — have documented contracts with military and intelligence services → Our attention is the product being traded For Muslim communities, this isn't just a privacy concern. It's an ethical one. An Islamic one. Digital Hijrah (digitalhijrah.com) is a free, practical guide to migrating away from these systems - using Bitcoin, open source software, and decentralised alternatives that serve people rather than exploit them. It covers everything from replacing WhatsApp with Signal (Level 1, anyone can do it this weekend) to running your own Bitcoin node and self-hosting your data (Level 3, for the dedicated). Built by the community. For the community. No ads, no paywall, no tracking. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs it. #DigitalHijrah #Bitcoin #Privacy #DigitalSovereignty

There's a sovereignty practice that almost nobody talks about, but that every serious Bitcoin user should do: verifying software signatures before running them. When you download Bitcoin Core, Sparrow Wallet, ColdCard firmware, or GrapheneOS — how do you know the file wasn't tampered with between the developer's computer and yours? GPG signature verification. It takes 2 minutes and it's the difference between running legitimate software and running malware that drains your wallet. Digital Hijrah's Encryption & Keys tab walks through: 🔑 GnuPG setup on Windows (Gpg4win), macOS (GPG Suite) and Linux (built-in) 🔑 Thunderbird with built-in OpenPGP for encrypted email 🔑 Hardware security keys — Nitrokey (fully open source, German) and YubiKey 🔑 VeraCrypt and LUKS for full disk encryption 🔑 Cryptomator for encrypting files on any cloud storage 🔑 Key servers and Web Key Directory (WKD) for public key sharing 🔑 The full verification workflow with code examples This is the tab most people ignore. It's probably the most important one. digitalhijrah.com — free, no account, no tracking. #GPG #Encryption #Bitcoin #Cybersecurity #DigitalSovereignty #OpenSource #DigitalHijrah

One of the most common objections to Bitcoin: "but I can't spend it anywhere." That's no longer true — and Digital Hijrah maps out exactly how. The Money tab includes a full section on spending and accepting Bitcoin in the real world: SPEND WITHOUT MERCHANTS NEEDING TO ACCEPT BTC: → Bitrefill — buy gift cards for 8,000+ products, across 3500+ brands in 186 countries with Lightning. Instant delivery. . → Cryptorefills — European alternative, 150+ countries, thousands of brands → Coincards — top-ups and gift cards, no KYC required FIND MERCHANTS: → BTCMap.org — community-maintained open source map of Bitcoin-accepting businesses worldwide. OpenStreetMap-based, no tracking. ACCEPT BITCOIN (for businesses, charities, masjids): → Phoenix/ZEUS wallet as a simple POS terminal → BTCPay Server — self-hosted, zero fees, full merchant checkout The tools exist. The circular economy just needs participants. digitalhijrah.com — free guide, no sign-up. #Bitcoin #Lightning #CircularEconomy #DigitalSovereignty #DigitalHijrah

One thing we built into Digital Hijrah from the start: it meets you where you are. The guide covers 11 technology areas, but you don't have to tackle all of them at once. We use a 3-tier sovereignty framework: 👁 AWARE (Level 1) — Better choices that don't require technical knowledge. Signal instead of WhatsApp. ProtonMail instead of Gmail. Brave instead of Chrome. Anyone can do this in a weekend. ⚡ SOVEREIGN (Level 2) — Self-hosted services, Bitcoin self-custody, GrapheneOS, Linux. Taking back control of your infrastructure. 🛡 CITADEL (Level 3) — Running your own node, self-hosted relays, hardware signing devices, FROST multisig. Full sovereignty for the dedicated. Each of the 177 (and counting) tools in the guide is tagged by level. Filter to your comfort zone and work outward from there. The 9-step Getting Started path walks you through it chronologically — from your first week to month 6 and beyond. digitalhijrah.com — free, no account required. #Bitcoin #Privacy #OpenSource #DigitalSovereignty #Linux #GrapheneOS #DigitalHijrah

When we built Digital Hijrah, we knew we had to address something most tech guides ignore: the ethical dimension of who owns the tools we use. Our 8th rating criterion is BDS Clean — does the company behind this tool have documented ties to Israeli military or intelligence infrastructure? Some findings that surprised us: ❌ Google — Project Nimbus: $1.2bn AWS + Google Cloud contract with Israeli Ministry of Defense ❌ Microsoft — Azure contract with Israeli MOD, used in active military operations ❌ WhatsApp — owned by Meta, whose infrastructure underpins Israeli surveillance systems ❌ ExpressVPN — acquired by Kape Technologies, founded by ex-Unit 8200 intelligence officers ❌ Discord — Spark Capital investors have significant Israeli tech portfolio ✅ Signal, ProtonMail, Bitwarden, Nextcloud, Mullvad — all clean This isn't about politics. It's about knowing what you're paying for with your data, your attention and your money. digitalhijrah.com — see the full ratings. #BDS #DigitalSovereignty #EthicalTech #Privacy #DigitalHijrah

I'm proud to announce the launch of digitalhijrah.com — a free, open resource for anyone serious about reclaiming their digital life. Digital Hijrah is a practical sovereignty guide covering 11 areas of technology: money, communication, identity, devices, AI, cloud storage, networking, encryption and more. Every tool is rated across 8 criteria — including whether the company behind it has ties to Israeli military contracts (BDS framework). We don't shy away from the hard questions. It's built on Bitcoin values: open source, no ads, no paywalls, no tracking. If you're tired of Big Tech owning your data, your money and your attention — this is your roadmap out. #Bitcoin #Privacy #OpenSource #BDS #DigitalHijrah

We just launched digitalhijrah.com A free, practical guide to digital sovereignty — for Muslims and anyone who values privacy, freedom and ethical tech. BDS-aware. Bitcoin-native. Community-built. No ads. No tracking. No compromise. digitalhijrah.com
