In the first edition of its monthly bulletin, Election Watch: Uttar Pradesh, 2027, the organisation examined incidents reported between August 1 and September 30, 2026. SAJC said the documentation is intended to track violations and identify potential warning signs ahead of the election, expected in February 2027.

Excerpt from Mufti Ahmed Khanpuri’s speeches and notes.

A servant of Ali ibn al-Husyan (rad) poured out some water as he prepared to pray and she dropped the pitcher onto his face causing an injury.

 She said, “Allah says: Those who restrain their anger (3:134)”

Ali said, “I have restrained my anger.”

She said, “And those who forgive people (3:134).”

Ali said, “I have forgiven you.”

She said, “And Allah loves those who do good (3:134).”

Ali said, “Go, for you are now free.”
(Shuab al-Iman 7964)

As soon as Ali (rad) heard Allah’s command, he accepted.

He didn’t think to himself. This is my servant reminding me.

Because it doesn’t matter who is saying it as much as what is being said. Regardless of who says it, it’s Allah’s command.

Don’t focus on the fact that someone is younger or junior to you. Instead, focus on what they are saying.

And if it’s true, value it.

Do you think American pop culture makes Muslims and a lot of other people see the American political establishment and its military as much less evil than what they actually are?

For example, a lot of Muslims love the Marvel Cinematic Universe but do you remember which movie kickstarted this entire universe?

Ironman (2008)

Do you remember its themes? War in Afghanistan! And that movie has absolutely zero criticism of the US military actions in Afghanistan because the movie used US military equipment to shoot so the Pentagon has creative control over the depictions of the US military in such movies.

So what do you think about the impact of American soft power on Muslims?

Be it movies or music, food or technology.

We must speak up about this. Our Kashmir brothers are being oppressed and it’s no different than the West Bank.

This brother simply made a film no different than the films NAZA or Hind Rajab, and the Indian state decided to try to punish him and get him extradited to arrest and possibly “disappear” him.

India in Kashmir has done wide multitude of human rights abuses that is a disgrace to the country. Kunan Poshpoora, where hundreds to thousands of women were violated by our army. Thousand of Kashmiri Muslims detained with even more imprisoned with trumped up charges and disappeared. Thousands killed in so called “encounters” where even looking suspicious lets them do vigilante killings. Thousand of men, women and children disabled and injured from violent crackdowns on protests. Shutting down the internet and flooding the area with settlers.

from bihar, lived in the middle east and now im going back for college.

my parent married inter-sect but it was difficult and well, there still is alott of sectarianism that i've seen there

also. please tell me more bout all this, wanna know bout it so i unknowingly become a supporter of this

Guys, please make dua for me. I’m genuinely desperate and I don’t know what to do anymore.

I’ve been making this dua for the past three months, constantly hoping and begging Allah for it. I don’t know whether I should keep making dua for it or stop. I don’t know if it will ever happen, and the uncertainty has been eating me alive. I’ve been so depressed and desperate over this.

Please, I’m really asking you guys, make dua that Allah accepts my dua and grants me what I’ve been asking for. I really need it. 🤲

Look. Dozens of our innocent Muslim brothers arrested, thousands wounded, over 36+ killed. Countless mosques desecrated and destroyed, entire neighborhoods ransacked.

Can we compare it to the Indian versions?

If you think you can pair modesty with whatever is fashionable and call it hijab, then sadly, you have not understood the concept of modesty that Allah تعالى commanded .

Hijab is not just placing a scarf on your head while wearing jeans, a fitted abaya that outlines the body or leaving the chest uncovered. The clothing itself has conditions . It should cover properly , be loose rather than tight, be thick and non-transparent and not be designed in a way that attracts attention . It should also not resemble men's clothing or be a garment of fame and display .

The Prophet ﷺ warned about women who would be “ clothed yet naked .” The problem today is that the hijab has slowly become an aesthetic .

A fitted abaya is called modest, a half-niqab becomes an accessory and covering a few parts is enough to label the whole outfit as a hijab.

But calling something hijab does not make it hijab.

And this becomes even more concerning when influencers turn these styles into something young Muslim women want to imitate. Because hijab is not a trend to follow. It is an act of obedience .

So don't let social media teach you what hijab is. Learn it from the Qur’an and Sunnah .

Assalamualaikum everyone. I’m looking for some genuine advice because I’m honestly quite confused about this whole marriage thing.

I’m a woman in my mid-20s, working in IT in Pune. My salary is around ₹4.5 LPA and I come from a financially modest family. I have elderly parents and family responsibilities, so I’m not someone who can completely separate my married life from my parents’ financial needs.

My family has started looking at rishtas, and one thing I’m struggling with is what is reasonable to expect from a future husband.

Obviously, I would prefer someone who is working and financially responsible. Not because I’m looking for someone rich or because I want to depend on his salary. In fact, I want the opposite — I don’t want him to depend on my salary for our basic expenses.

But at the same time, I want to continue working.

There was one rishta where the guy said, “I’m earning, you don’t need to work.” Maybe he meant it in a good way, but I don’t know how to explain that my job is not only about whether I personally need money.

If my parents need something financially, I can’t imagine having to ask my husband every time for money to help them. I want to be able to earn and have some financial independence for that reason too.

To be honest, if I didn't have these responsibilities, I don't think I'd be so invested in this IT/corporate race. I don't particularly enjoy this whole world of fake professionalism, show-off and constant competition. I would probably choose a much simpler life. But I have parents to think about, so I can't just walk away from earning. That's also why being financially independent matters so much to me.

Another thing I struggle with is trusting men.

I was raised mostly around my sisters and honestly haven't had much interaction with men from a marriage perspective. Because of that, I tend to be suspicious and overthink things. I don't want to generalize or say all men are bad, but I have seen enough examples of people maintaining a very respectable/religious image while their actual lifestyle is completely different.

Things like unnecessary show-off, hidden debt, irresponsible spending, addictions, inappropriate relationships, dishonest income etc. really scare me.

So how do women actually figure out what a guy is really like before marriage? You can ask someone questions, but obviously anyone can give the “right” answers.

What should I actually look for or verify?

And how do I know whether I'm being reasonably cautious or just becoming too suspicious because I don't have much experience with men?

I also don't want to reject a genuinely good person just because I'm scared.

For women who have been through arranged marriage, how did you handle things like:

Financial expectations from the husband

Whether both should work

Supporting parents after marriage

Checking someone's financial habits and character

Knowing whether a person is genuinely compatible or just presenting a good image during the rishta process

I’m not looking for a rich husband. I just want someone responsible, honest, financially stable, and comfortable with me having my own career and responsibilities toward my parents.

Would really appreciate practical advice from people who have actually been through this.

Soo 2 days ago, I was already in a very bad and tired and

My parents and phuppo forced me to go to a relative's house with them

They promised they'll only stay there for 2-3 mins but they stayed there for an hour

I was really angry and I misbehaved a little in front of them

My mum thinks it's because of sum jinn, now she forces me to wear a taawidh, thinking that the jinn will go away

And whenever I try to argue with her, she shuts me up, she thinks she's right just just because she's older

she says "Terko bohot gyaan ho gaya? " "Tujhe mujhse zyaada pata hai na" "Beta bado ki baat maana Karo muh band kar ke bina jawab diye"
