For nearly a decade, Mu’aawiyah has been advocating for how Bitcoin and Islamic finance should be at the forefront of how we engage in ethical business practices, financial sovereignty, and fairness. A prolific educator, serial entrepreneur, and visionary, he is currently developing tools to empower individuals and businesses to harness Bitcoin as an ethical means of commerce, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for all. Mu’aawiyah is part of a growing movement reshaping global finance through a values-based lens, rooted in integrity and justice.

My 9 & 7 year old made this and I thought to myself “What a dark poster for a child to make in the 21st century!!” The irony of how strong the ‘spin’ must be for the isr@eli genocide supporting governments are trying to label those who want the killing to stop as being “hateful” image

When you have a religion based around your genes 🧬, what do you expect really? This is why Allaah said: “Oh mankind, I created you from a male and female and made you nations and tribes so that you know one another. Verily the BEST of you are those who are most God fearing” - Quran So in Islam, we ARE equal in that we come from a single source, but we are NOT equal based on our deeds. Anyone can become a better or worse person based on their actions. Anyone can become the best of mankind or the worst. The moment you believe you’re from the best JUST because you were born into X or the worst because you were born with Y passport, then you’re a racist. And the idea of a country built around such a thing is a racist state. And there is no way this state and end up except as an apartheid state. So just as we were interrogated with the question “Do you condemn Hummus?” I have some of my own questions. 1) Do you believe that some part of this earth or all of it belongs to a certain set of people due to their lineage/genes? 2) Do you believe that a person can confiscate the property of others just because they are a part of a certain lineage/gene pool? 3) Do you believe that a certain set of people, due to their lineage will have certain set of laws different from others, either in giving them more rights or taking it away? 4) Do you believe that a certain group of people of a certain lineage were chosen by God and therefore can do what they like with everyone else? I’ll conclude with the statement of Allaah in the Quraan: There are People of the Book who, if you [Prophet] entrust them with a heap of gold, will return it to you intact, but there are others of them who, if you entrust them with a single dinar (gold coin), will not return it to you unless you keep standing over them, because they say, ‘We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.’ They tell a lie against God and they know it. Aal-E-Imran, Ayah 75

I met a Buddhist at the Indonesia Bitcoin event and he mentioned that in Buddhism there is the idea of a ‘ledger’ of good and bad deeds and that one is judged based on that after death. So I asked “who does the judging” and it became an interesting question. So I decided to ChatGPT it and I’m somewhat surprised that ChatGPT was able to have what seems like an honest discussion and was equally surprised what it brought up independently of me bringing it up myself. Here’s the chat

What this guys said needs to be written with ink made of gold. He laid the smackdown so hard, she had no choice but to cut off his call. But as great as what he said was, it was her replies & reaction that said it all. Her complete disregard for the Palestinians, speaks volumes

Just saying…how far are you really willing to go to stop supporting the institutions that support the apartheid states of I.s.r.a.e.l? Does it stop with burgers or does it extend to things that really test your metal? image

So as the horrific events unfold for our brothers & sisters in Palestine, like clockwork we have those who come out blaming Muslim leaders, as if they actually are behind the genocide. No doubt, we want to see more done, but the hypocrisy of these people is also not lost on me. Most of such people wouldn’t even be willing to lose their jobs for the Palestinian 🇵🇸 cause, wouldn’t be willing to boycott the business they depend on for their livelihood or daily needs for the Palestinian cause and wouldn’t even consider defunding the very nations that support them by migrating away from them. We want our leaders to sacrifice their whole nation but we can’t even give up supporting football teams that are pro-Israeli!! And to make matters worse, most Muslims wouldn’t even consider ditching fiat and the dollar for the Palestinian cause. We now have Bitcoin, a currency that does not support the western dominance over the world, and we know for a fact that one of the main reasons why Muslim leaders are mostly powerless is because their whole economy is built and depends upon the dollar. So until YOU ALL ditch the dollar, then you have NO RIGHT to call on others to fight any fight. You can’t even fight your wallet. You can’t even fight Ribaa and your mortgage. Your use of the fiat system only maintains their power over us all. This includes you bitcoiners who still hold onto your fiat life. Those who only see Bitcoin as a way to get more fiat. Anyway, rant over. I just find it sad that we point fingers at others to do things so significant as taking a nation to war, where people lose their lives, yet can’t even make a firm stance against fiat and the Ribaa system. Wake up guys and defund the beast. Make the Hijrah away from fiat, away from businesses that support apartheid states, and make hijrah away from nations that facilitate genocide against your brothers and sisters. Finally, I included the definition of genocide as I’ve see disgusting individuals who try to defend Israel by saying “how is it a genocide if they tell them to go X location before they bomb them!!” Such people are despicable scum, and not worth any more of my time. image

Wallaahi, I’m so glad I’m not the leader of any Muslim nation…as I know I would have lost my rag a long time ago and done something very stupid. May Allaah aid and strengthen our leaders to do the right thing to the muslimeen and return us all back to the obedience of Allaah.

“Don’t kill your children out of fear of poverty, We’ll provide for them and you” “Don’t kill your children due to poverty, We’ll provide for you and them” Don’t buy into this false narrative that “there are too many people” or that “the economy/earth can’t handle it”

Me, observing non-Muslim Bitcoiners commenting as the events of Gaza unfold. 🤔 It always fascinates me seeing non-Muslim bitcoiners always talking about how the media lies about Bitcoin with FUD, about covid, fiat, but all of a sudden accept what they say about Islam & Muslims. The reason?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, Salaah in congregation is a practice highly recommended in Islam, endowed with merits that go beyond individual worship. It's not just about fulfilling an obligation; it's about enriching the soul while fostering community and brotherhood. Firstly, the rewards are manifold. A prayer offered in congregation is 25 to 27 times more rewarding than a prayer performed alone, according to hadith. This alone signifies its importance in the sight of Allah. Moreover, congregational prayer strengthens the bonds of brotherhood. When you stand shoulder to shoulder, regardless of social or economic status, it underscores the concept of equality before Allah. It erases divisions and creates a sense of unity that is integral to the Ummah. Praying in the mosque has its unique charm and benefits. The mosque serves as a spiritual hub, a place not just for worship but also for community activities, learning, and mutual support. Regular attendance at the mosque for Salaah keeps you connected, not just to Allah, but also to your community. Thus, Salaah in congregation is a multi-faceted gem, offering spiritual, communal, and social benefits. #SalaahInCongregation #Community #Brotherhood 🕌 May Allah make us amongst those who establish regular prayers in congregation and taste the sweetness of brotherhood in faith. Ameen. image

The practice of Salaah extends far beyond physical movements; it nourishes the soul, and in doing so, fortifies mental and emotional well-being. Consistent prayer acts as a spiritual anchor, grounding us amidst the chaos of daily life. Salaah instills a routine that organises not just our day but our priorities. Five times a day, we detach from worldly matters to focus solely on Allah. This detachment is a form of emotional detox, offering a break from stress and anxieties. Psychologically, the submission and humility in Salaah foster emotional resilience. Acknowledging that we are under the care of an All-Powerful Creator provides comfort and eliminates feelings of helplessness. Moreover, Salaah nurtures our relationship with Allah, elevating our spiritual state. Each prayer is a step on the path of closeness to Him, a dialogue that goes beyond words. It's a private consultation with Allah, where you're free to express gratitude, seek guidance, and ask for relief from hardships. In essence, the consistent practice of Salaah is a holistic remedy, catering to the spiritual, emotional, and mental dimensions of a Muslim. #SpiritualBenefitsOfSalaah #MentalWellbeing #EmotionalResilience 🍃 May Allah keep us steadfast in our prayers and bless us with the tranquility it brings. Ameen image

The Salaah, our daily submission to Allah, answering to the call of Allaah, is founded on a structured set of actions and intentions, each symbolising unique facets of submission to the Him, Subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa. Firstly, the Niyyah (intention) initiates the Salaah. It's the mental and spiritual preparation, acknowledging the Supreme One to whom you are about to submit. It is the compass directing the heart towards Allah. With no partners or associates. Then comes the Qiyam (standing), representing our vigilance and readiness to obey Allah. As we stand erect, facing the Qiblah, it reminds us of the unity and equality in Islam, and how we all stand before Allah as His servants. The Ruku (bowing) comes next, symbolising our humility before Allah. As we bow, we cast aside our ego, pride, and worldly concerns, acknowledging Allah's greatness. Lastly, the Sujood (prostration) is the apex of our submission. In this act, we place our forehead, the symbol of honour and dignity, on the ground. It's the utmost surrender, indicating that we lower ourselves only before the One who is the Most High. Thus, Salaah is not merely a ritual but a comprehensive act of submission, each pillar paving the way for a closer, more intimate relationship with Allah. #PillarsOfSalaah #Niyyah #Qiyam #Ruku #Sujood 🌿 May Allah accept our Salaah and guide us to perfect our worship. Ameen. image

This is a great feature that has a lot of potential when building an online retail business. So here’s a flow: 1) Merchant makes a normal invoice for p&p and return p&p fee if product is not accepted or delivered, and sends that to the customer. 2) Customer pays that invoice and sends a return HODL invoice for the money paid for the p&p return once the delivery is accepted 3) Merchant pays that HODL invoice to return the fee for not returning the goods and then sends a HODL invoice for the purchase of the item. 4) Customer pays HODL invoice for the item and waits for delivery. 5) At this point we have: a) Product in transit b) HODL invoice to return p&p fee to customer once they accept c) HODL invoice for payment of product The only thing that was paid for was the p&p which is happening now as the product t is in transit 6) Upon delivery, the delivery guy gives a QR code that affirms that the item has been delivered, that will trigger the above HODL invoices, refunding the customer and paying the merchant, all in real time. Based on the above, there is zero risk of loss for either the merchant or customer. The customer only pays for the goods when they receive it and the merchant guarantees that his goods will return to him, paid by the customer, if something goes wrong with the delivery. It’s almost like an ‘atomic purchase’. The only one who actually ‘technically loses out’ would be the customer who paid for p&p and return, but that’s only fair. Why should the merchant pay for the customer backing out of the deal. This would also mitigate conflict about product not being delivered to the right person. Only the customer with the preimage can receive the goods and if someone were to intercept it, we would know it wasn’t delivered. So you get confirmation of correct delivery with delivery. https://voltage.cloud/blog/lightning-network-faq/understanding-hold-invoices-on-the-lightning-network/
