Nobody: Sunnis on Eid al-Ghadir : "wEaK tHe NaRrAtIoN iS wEaK wEaK, fRiEnD fRiEnDs iT mEaNs fRiEnDs"

Imam al-Ridha (pbuh) about Eid al-Ghadir: "It is the Day of the Perfection of Religion, the day of Satan’s humiliation, and the day when the deeds of the Shia are accepted and the sorrows of the Family of Muhammad are lifted."

Al-Shaʿbī and the Umayyad Connection 🧵 It is important when evaluating hadith narrators to study their links to rulers and question whether this affected what they chose to report or censor. In the case of al-Shaʿbī, who is universally acclaimed by Sunnis as an impeachable narrator and scholar, he was first spotted by the infamous Umayyad governor for Iraq, al-Ḥajjāj (d. 95), who interviewed him: Ḥajjāj: “Have you memorized the Qur’an?” Shaʿbī: “Yes.” Ḥajjāj: “Have you mastered calculating inheritance shares?” Shaʿbī: “Yes.” Ḥajjāj: “What is your position concerning [...] and […]?” Shaʿbī: […] Ḥajjāj: “You have hit the mark.” Ḥajjāj: “Have you looked into the Arabic language?” Shaʿbī: “Yes.” Ḥajjāj: “Do you transmit poems?” Shaʿbī: “I have looked into their meanings.” Ḥajjāj: “Have you looked into arithmetic?” Shaʿbī: “Yes.” Ḥajjāj: “Do you transmit the maghāzī (campaigns) of the Messenger of Allah?” Shaʿbī: “Yes.” Ḥajjāj: “Narrate to me the story of Badr.” Shaʿbī begins with the dream of ʿĀtika (i.e. the aunt of the Prophet) until the muʾadhdhin calls for ẓuhr. An impressed Ḥajjāj appoints al-Shaʿbī to be an ʿarīf (overseer) over the Shaʿbīyīn, the mankib (superintendent) over the whole (tribe) of Hamdān, and sets his stipend with the nobility. Notice how a part of the interview is censored. Shaʿbī states that al-Ḥajjāj questioned him concerning the creed of Abū Turāb, a pejorative name for ʿAlī. We don’t know what exactly al-Ḥajjāj asked and how exactly al-Shaʿbī responded but what we do know is that al-Ḥajjāj approved of the answer. It was Umayyad policy to abuse ʿAlī and al-Ḥajjāj, in particular, was adamant in implementing this. There is no way that Shaʿbī would have been recruited if he did anything but look the other way when it came to this policy.

Most girls have no real hobbies. And she really doesn’t want you to notice. If you pay attention, you’ll see the truth: Her “hobbies” are usually:

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph. Both pilots are dead. Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years. A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when. The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day. The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country. Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years. Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday. The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement. The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision. The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.” One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

My father has been under arrest for 845 days. For the past six weeks, he has been kept in solitary confinement in a death cell with zero transparency. His sisters have been denied every visit, even with clear court orders allowing access. There have been no phone calls, no meetings and no proof of life. Me and my brother have had no contact with our father. This absolute blackout is not a security protocol. It is a deliberate attempt to hide his condition and prevent our family from knowing whether he is safe. Let it be clear: the Pakistani government and its handlers will be held fully accountable legally, morally and internationally for my father’s safety and for every consequence of this inhumane isolation. I call on the international community, global human rights organisations and every democratic voice to intervene urgently. Demand proof of life, enforce court ordered access, end this inhumane isolation and call for the release of Pakistan’s most popular political leader who is being held solely for political reasons.
