Not Just a Time Frame!

When this saffron was packed on June 29, 2024, did the company know that their Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei would be martyred on February 28, 2026, before its expiration date on 29 June, 2026? Could they have thought that Mashhad would be attacked like this? Could they have imagined that the global geopolitical system would experience such an El Niño?

Just like this jar of saffron, people have a birth date and a death date. It is simple to write down this time frame, but between those two dates lies a seen and unseen history—far more than a novel!
Once, Firaun ruled—where is he now? What is written about him? How does history remember him?
Learning from ancient technology and trying to reapply it might not be bad for all sectors, but remember why those civilizations collapsed. Surah Ar-Rum (30:9):
"Have they not traveled in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were greater than them in power, and they plowed the earth and built it up more than they have built it up..."
[1, 2] 
Pride destroyed 'Aad and Thamud, two highly technologically advanced ancient nations. The Quran explains that they fell because they rejected Allah's prophets and trusted only in their own power. Surah Fussilat (41:15): "As for 'Aad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said, 'Who is greater than us in strength?'"  
Surah Al-Fajr (89:6-8): "Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad—[with] Iram, who had lofty pillars, the like of which had not been created in any land?"
Surah Ibrahim (14:46): "And they had indeed planned their plan, but their plan is with Allah, though their plan was such that the mountains should be moved [or pass away] thereby."
Our beloved Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam), ruled, but how does history remember him? He is an incomparable human being of all time. Though no human could reach at his level ever, at least  could follow his footsteps.
Let's come back to the present time that we are in now. On one side, children and even pets are bombarded with love, but on the other side, look at how the children of Palestine and Sudan are treated....Policymakers and power brokers should keep in mind that religious values, a moderate path, and justice are must-have criteria for running a civilization successfully.

Beneficiary of the Triangle War : Israel-Iran-US

                                   Author : Rumana Reza

 

 "President Donald Trump on Friday requested a 10% cut in non-defense discretionary spending for fiscal 2027 and a massive $500 billion increase in defense spending, as the United States continues its war against Iran."  (Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-budget-proposes-10-cut-discretionary-spending-increased-defense-spending-2026-04-03/ )

Based on the Fiscal Year 2027 budget proposal released in early April 2026, the overall US federal education budget is proposed to decrease."The Budget requests $76.5 billion in discretionary budget authority for ED for 2027, a $2.3 billion or 2.9-percent decrease from the 2026 enacted level." (Source: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/budget_fy2027.pdf)

On the other hand,"The Knesset approved the largest state budget in Israel’s history early Monday morning, growing the defense budget to unprecedented levels amid the war with Iran and sending billions of shekels to Haredi educational institutions and other priorities of the governing coalition ..." (Source: https://www.timesofisrael.com/knesset-approves-2026-budget-israels-largest-ever-sending-billions-to-haredi-institutions/ )

According to the TIMES OF ISRAEL, published on 30 March,2026, "Smotrich called the defense package the “core” of the wartime budget, adding that it would allow Israel to “dramatically improve our geopolitical and diplomatic standing” and “dismantle and rebuild the Middle East.”

“ This budget enables the state to win,” said Smotrich. " That means, Israel would be the only beneficiary of  the unstable Middle-East and if Iran gets defeated in the war.Then where is the place for America? Bitter to say but the truth is- " runner-up'' position.  This is absolutely not a good sign to the dignity of  the US as it is counted as topper till now on the paper-sheet.

 Here one key difference between the budgets of the US and Israel is  not hard to notice - the education sector. Whereas the US Govt. wants to less contribute to its education with giving  priority on math and improving reading  for American students,Israel sending billions to Haredi Institutions contrary . Now my dear readers, how many of you know about Haredi Institutions?...Well,these private institutions, primarily in Israel and Europe, promote religious law (Halakha) and separation from modern, secular culture in order to preserve their traditions. More specifically,Haredi educational institute is a Jewish faith-based school for Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Communities,focused on Torah and Tahmud  study rather than secular subjects like English and math.

 It is so funny discriminative fact that the US is always against the Islamic rules and culture in Iran and wants to see the secular Govt. there on the one side; on the other side, it is going hand in hand with Israel, which is a religiously biased country. The US Govt. wants to be liberal and stop antisemitism in its education sector, but Israel looks for booming Jewish education (semitism) for its country. Israel's kind of bias will affect not only Muslims, but also Christians.

On Easter Sunday,April 5,2026,  an Israeli strike on the Christian town of Ain Saadeh,east of Beirut killed a Christian political official and his wife ..The victims were identified as Pierre Moawad, a local official from the Lebanese Forces party (Extremely against Hezbollah), and his wife, Flavia, including an unidentified woman. ( Source :https://www.globalbankingandfinance.com/israeli-strike-kills-christian-party-official-lebanon/ ) The incident occurred as Lebanese Christians celebrated Easter Sunday with prayers and solidarity, amid heavy fighting between Israel and Hezbollah

Interestingly,while in a separate incident from October 2024, the Israeli military apologized for killing three Lebanese soldiers,yet it has not apologized  for this strike. Instead, Israeli authorities, including Defense Minister Israel Katz, promised  to keep attacking Hezbollah following intensified bombardments during the holiday, with no acknowledgement of wrongdoing for the widespread damage reported .(Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanon-says-least-16-dead-israeli-strikes-eastern-town-2026-03-07/ )

Now let's go back to the Passover massacre of 27 March,2002. It was claimed as a suicide bombing carried out by Hamas at the Park Hotel in Netanya,Israel during a Jewish festival known as 'Passover Seder'. The then US President George W. Bush condemned the attack as a "callous, cold-blooded killing" and stated it "must stop". He also pressurized on Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat regarding this. 

 These are just a little bit examples where  it is clearly visible that the US and the Christian Community have one sided love for Israel and for the Jewish people whereas Israel has almost zero feelings for them.The thing is, the Muslim world stands like a wall between Christians and  Jews. If that wall collapse, then the conflict will begin between Christians and Jews.The ongoing triangle war between Iran and Israel-US making weak both Iran and the US except Israel. You may ask -but Israel is also under the attack? Yes dears, I agree...but at the same time, kindly do some measures on who is losing more.Today or tomorrow Israel had to fight with Iran to make its road clear to sit on the throne of the Middle-East.Now by using the US as its obedient soldier, Israel is having  less effort to maintain this war.

No matter if Iran wins or loses, it is already exposed to the world that the 'Superman' image of America is ruined through this war. Though it may seem like the US will benefit through exporting oil and petroleum products if the Strait of Hormuz is closed, this could be a temporary profit. In addition,If Iran fails, a more lucrative opportunity for the arms industry of the US will be opened— it could come in American dreams! But the fact is, alliance only happens when there are more than two competitors. Two players on the field could not be friends with each other.Therefore, a vacuum of super power has already been created.Now who can fill up this gap?Any member from the Muslim countries ? Any member from the Christian countries? China? - Naaaah!...Why?...Let me explain...Muslim countries are living in the 20th century  with their weak defense / weaponry system . The Christian countries are not poor in arms and forces ,but are not also as strong as Israel or the US. China is technologically advanced , has manpower but not has leadership quality. Then who is left ?

Good Deeds Never Go in Vain



Millions people were present  today at the Janaza of Shaheed Osman Hadi. Not only that, so many people were present at the Gayebana Janaza of him in many districts  of Bangladesh. And uncounted people like us have observed TV live of his Janaza... Most men not cry visibly, but today we have seen many men to cry like women! Interestingly,though  there were no arrangements to maintain this sea of people, people attended the Janaza with self discipline -no chaos, no injury! MashaAllah.

 While some people do money laundering and make lavish mansions in abroad, Osman Bin Hadi did not prioritize  global full scholarships from foreign institutions such as Al-Azhar University in Egypt and Sydney University just because of having  a desire to serve his home country.  

Shaheed Sharif Osman Bin  Hadi -leader of  the 2024 July Revolution in Bangladesh, best known as the spokesperson for Inqilab Mancha, opened Inqilab Cultural Center to make Islamic Culture strong in Bangladesh,  strongly criticized  India's influence in Bangladesh, was against cultural hegemony and political aggression of India, advocated for "Insaaf" (absolute justice) always. He wanted to run as an independent MP for the Dhaka-8 constituency in the February 2026 elections to bring back democracy. But he is Martyred before  the election.

Today, presence of the millions people of  Bangladesh in his Janaza and echoing his slogans with "Nara -e-Takbir Allahu Akbar " has proved once again  that Bangladesh is a Muslim country where the majority wants Islamic culture, wants to establish Insaaf and is against Indian hegemony in Bangladesh.

The Blood-moon of September 7, 2025 : Is It Lunar Eclipse Or Lunar Explosion ?

                                           

                           Author: Rumana Reza

  

 Still, I can remember those childhood days when I observed the solar eclipse with an X-Ray Paper, watched comet in the evening sky with my Mamony (mom) and Bapi (dad), witnessed meteor, saw lunar eclipse many times with our binocular. Neither me, nor my parents, never my grandparents saw blood moon in the sky or read on the newspaper about it.

After 2010, the "blood moon" concept became familiar in mainstream reporting. In recent years, the media have been trying to establish that the blood moon has an ancient history with Inca people, the Babylonians etc. and claiming of its re-occurrence since early 20th century, though we did not read or notice such stories before 2010. "Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli calculated that the frequency of lunar tetrads varies over centuries. Some have several lunar tetrads, while others do not have any. For example, the years between 1582 and 1908 did not have any tetrads, whereas the next 250 years—from 1909 to 2156—will have 17 tetrads." 

(Source: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/blood-moon.html) 

Yesterday September 7, 2025 from Chittagong, Bangladesh, I captured these mysterious images of the Blood-moon. I wonder, is it really just a simple lunar eclipse what we have learned before or is it beyond that definition? 

Here are the pictures of the blood-moon of September 7,2025 step by step that caught with my mobile camera :

 Here we can observe an interesting fact -whenever the moon turns spiky, huge debris or particles are detected; and without spikes, surrounding of the moon is just plain dark. In addition, at one point, we can see a tiny shiny greenish spot on the moon surface. 

 We have always seen the moon with a soft sweet light with round plain surface. In the eyes of NASA and other space agencies, either the moon is caught as an x-ray report or so similar to the usual AI view where the moon has no variation in features. But look at these photos! Have you ever seen this kind of appearance of the moon before? One minute, the calm moon looks like throwing unknown bloody type of things, but the next minute it becomes quiet like a volcano after eruption. Though an explosion or volcano, whatever you say, is not seen to happen on the whole earth's surface, the moon hits differently! ​It seems the whole moon's surface is unstable, and an explosion is going on. Just within five minutes such transformation is incredible!

 According to NASA, " During lunar eclipses, mission controllers shut down most instruments on NASA's solar-powered Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to conserve energy while it's cut off from its source of power but leave active one instrument—called Diviner—that can watch how the lunar surface responds to the rapid change in temperature caused by a lunar eclipse."(Source: https://science.nasa.gov/moon/eclipses/)

During lunar eclipse, NASA's spacecraft might have some limitations, but what about all those giant telescopes? James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), world's largest telescope is designed to observe the universe, stars but not for the blood moon - sounds so strange and funny! Decades after decades, they have been researching about the space with high quality equipment and technologies but the output on simple lunar eclipse is not significant. But at Chittagong, in Bangladesh, a simple mobile camera can capture such images of the moon! MashaAllah. It proves that the sky of Bangladesh is best to observe the space, an ordinary balcony is better than any observatory center or even better than the satellites, and a simple mobile camera is more powerful than Hubble Telescope and blah blah blah!

 We don't know yet the sea world and beneath the sea, but NASA is busy to explore the Mars! Other space agencies are also engaged to discover milky ways, black holes etc.! We can't forecast the natural disasters on earth, but our scientists can calculate the blood moon calendar till 2156! I can't find any logic in the gap between our knowledge about the earth and the prediction power of modern scientists for the outer space; my dear readers, do you find any? But the matching between the space theory of the ancient people and present intellectuals seems logical. Ancient civilizations had high technological knowledge and were so much advanced before collapsing. Our civilization, on the other hand, is not yet that high but running through the process. Both ancient people and present media value the blood moon with the same tone! Interesting! Point to be noted, there was no blood moon when our civilization was not modernized!

(Martyr)SHAHEED ABU SAYED : The Actual National Hero of Bangladesh

 

The self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi on 17 December 2010 is the base of the Tunisian Revolution or the Jasmine Revolution.Similarly, the martyrdom of Abu Sayed on 16 July 2024, is the main spirit of the July Revolution. But there is a difference between Mohamed Bouazizi and Shaheed Abu Sayed. Bouazizi is not a martyr as he took suicidal action against injustice.On the other hand, Sayed was  severely shot by the then govt. force.From the video footage, we can see that at the beginning of police attack, he was trying to resist the bullet with a simple stick as like as the cricket bat hitting the ball. But later, only Allah know what was going on his mind,he spread his arms instead of trying to escape.And he becomes martyred.

 

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا لَقِیْتُمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا زَحْفًا فَلَا تُوَلُّوْهُمُ الْاَدْبَارَۚ۝
اے ایمان والو! جب تم (میدانِ جنگ میں) کافروں سے مقابلہ کرو (خواہ وہ) لشکرِ گراں ہو پھر بھی انہیں پیٹھ مت دکھانا
O believers! When you combat the disbelievers (in the battlefield), never turn your backs on them, (even if they are) a large army.
(al-Anfal, 8 : 15)
Taken from: https://www.irfan-ul-quran.com/english/qid/250/What-is-the-punishment-for-running-away-from-the-battlefield

 

 وَ مَنْ یُّوَلِّهِمْ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ دُبُرَهٗۤ اِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًا لِّقِتَالٍ اَوْ مُتَحَیِّزًا اِلٰی فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ بَآءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ مَاْوٰىهُ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَ بِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ۝
اور جو شخص اس دن ان سے پیٹھ پھیرے گا، سوائے اس کے جو جنگ (ہی) کے لئے کوئی داؤ چل رہا ہو یا اپنے (ہی) کسی لشکر سے (تعاون کے لئے) ملنا چاہتا ہو، تو واقعتاً وہ اللہ کے غضب کے ساتھ پلٹا اور اس کا ٹھکانا دوزخ ہے، اور وہ (بہت ہی) برا ٹھکانا ہے
And he who turns his back on them that day, except he who is maneuvering in the fight, or he who wants to join one of his own troops (for support), certainly he returns with the wrath of Allah and Hell is his abode and that is (the most) evil abode.
(al-Anfal, 8 : 16)
Taken from: https://www.irfan-ul-quran.com/english/qid/250/What-is-the-punishment-for-running-away-from-the-battlefield

Shaheed Abu Sayed did not turn his back on them - that is what we have observed. He fought against injustice and this is called 'Jihad' in Islam.

 Lessons:   

family background, educational institution, body building, social status,leadership of a political party, being religious scholar-nothing is required to be a hero. A  pure intention ,courage and above all, faith in Allah is needed only. You don't need to take selfies, rather world will keep you on the spotlight with real love and respect (by the way, if you take heroic step just for people's attention,then it will not be counted as Jihad.Remember!).

One Ummah : This is Our Identity

 

There  are so many debates among Shi'a,Sunni,Ahmadiya,Salafi,Sufi,Barelvi, Deobandi etc. But the thing is, these religious divisions are just like the branches of a tree, name "Islam". So, which branch is strong and which branch is weak ,which branch is beautiful and which is less is only known to Almighty Allah ,who are you to judge? Choose the branch you like to adopt,give your opinion about the rest of the branches if necessary; but that does not mean you got the right to cut or hit all the branches which is not yours! Nor that  means that they do not belong to this tree! Moreover, if one branch gets burned,then rest of the branches will catch fire too if not the action is taken in time.

 We believe in one and only God , Allah . We are the followers/ummah of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam).We are Muslim.This is our Identity.

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said in his last sermon, "All mankind is from Adam and Hawa (Eve), an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly."

So, what stops us to unite,unite like a one soul? In addition, nowadays, we are seeing the arisen of a concept like " Land of Ancestors"  here and there. If so, then according to their logic, as descendants of adam and hawa(eve), all the lands belongs to none but one and only Allah,because adam and hawa(eve) worshiped one and only Allah. But we the Muslims already know, 

Al-Quran, 24:64 Unquestionably, to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth. Already He knows that upon which you [stand] and [knows] the Day when they will be returned to Him and He will inform them of what they have done. And Allah is Knowing of all things.( English - Sahih International)
