Self-transformation: One of our students, reflecting on the difference between studying ʿilm al-nafs (Islamic psychology) and other subjects: “When I take a course in engineering and learn something interesting, it stays within that circle. But ʿilm al-nafs literally touches my whole life.” Diploma in Islamic Psychology — applications close... show more

🔴 Sirajuddin Haqqani Sahib, Minister of Interior of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: When the U.S. invasion began in 2001, some people asked my late father Jalaluddin Haqqani, “It is impossible to resist America, you have nothing to resist them”: My father responded: “We have something on our side that they do not have. Place the whole world on one side of the scale and the Kalima al-Tawhid (word of Allah) on the other, and you will see which one is stronger".

You simply cannot separate psychology from physiology. This ‘practised separation’ is one of reasons the health professions sometimes struggle to help people with chronic pain - and, many other conditions. It’s a new season, and in this brand new episode of my podcast ‘Feel Better, Live More,’ my guest Peter O'Sullivan and I had a fascinating conversation about pain management in our healthcare system and how physiology and psychology are fundamentally intertwined. Peter highlights the important role that emotions and psychology play in managing and treating pain, rather the often purely mechanical approach that is often taken by some clinicians. Listen to our conversation in full here or enjoy wherever you get your podcasts.

US Senator on the difference between India and China "When I travel to China, my phone does not go to Beijing with me. It stays in Washington. But when I travel to India, this phone comes with me. That is an example of a highly trusted ally and friend. I can't do that in China."

🚨DEMAND ACTION TEXAS! Obama-era officials tried to deport Main Al Qudah. He fought it, admitted Muslim Brotherhood family ties and pushing Sharia over secular law in Jordan… and stayed. Now he’s leading a 30-acre self-contained Islamic enclave in Katy (Al-Huda Islamic Center / Guidance Scholars) - a full Islamic mini-state on your doorstep. In his own words: “Inshallah… fully fledged masjid for 1,500 people… main office of Guidance Scholars… soon fully accredited Islamic University… full-time Islamic school, healthcare clinic… one stop Islamic center.” Their plans include: Residential apartments Shopping center Daycare K-12 school Gym Pool Sports fields Housing for elderly/abused Cradle-to-grave separation This is parallel society 101 - exactly the Muslim Brotherhood’s “Project” for gradual takeover from within (we exposed it in Congress). Al Qudah has deep ties: replaced a Bin Laden-linked imam, sits on Sharia fatwa committees, is a Sharia-Finance Expert and they’re openly eyeing your tax dollars via school choice vouchers. Hey Texas - where are our leaders? See the FULL REPORTS we built our FOR YOUR LEADERS... WE DID ALL OF THE WORK - WHERE IS THEIR ACTION!? 1. 2.

Yemen leader Al-Houthi: "It is not permissible under Islamic law to remain shackled and not respond to the worst enemy. Iran is fulfilling a human, Islamic, moral, and national duty -- a duty by every measure -- in confronting an unjust and brutal aggression that targets it without right and without any justification." "They target children in schools and teachers; they target universities; they target residential neighborhoods; they target schools and hospitals; they target markets; they target everything." "It is the duty of this entire nation to stand in full support alongside the Islamic Republic of Iran." "Our position is one of principled enmity toward the Israeli enemy, and full commitment to resisting this entire onslaught by the arms of Zionism: America, Israel, and those aligned with them. The enemies' course is escalation and expansion. All options are on the table."

New short course: Attention in Transformers: Concepts and Code in PyTorch. Last week we released a course on how LLM transformers work. This week, go deeper and learn about the technical ideas behind the attention mechanism, and see how to code it in PyTorch. This course is built with Joshua Starmer, Founder and CEO of StatQuest. The attention mechanism was a breakthrough that led to transformers, the architecture powering large language models like ChatGPT. Transformers, introduced in the 2017 paper: "Attention is All You Need" by Viswani and others, took off because of its highly scalable design. In this course, you’ll learn how the attention mechanism, a key element of transformer-based LLMs, works and implement it in PyTorch. You'll develop deep intuition about building reliable, functional, and scalable AI applications. What you will do: - Understand the evolution of the attention mechanism, a key breakthrough that led to transformers. - Learn the relationships between word embeddings, positional embeddings, and attention. - Learn about the Query, Key, and Value matrices, and how to produce and use them in attention. - Walk through the math required to calculate self-attention and masked self-attention to learn why and how they work. - Understand the difference between self-attention and masked self-attention and how one is used in the encoder to build context-aware embeddings and the other is used in the decoder for generative outputs. - Learn the details of the encoder-decoder architecture, cross-attention, and multi-head attention and how they are all incorporated into a transformer. - Use PyTorch to code a class that implements self-attention, masked self-attention, and multi-head attention. There're lots of exciting technical details in this course. Please sign up here:

Some of the best opportunities come disguised as setbacks. When I lost my job as a young lawyer, I wasn’t sure what came next. What made the difference was having someone who believed in me and encouraged me to take a chance on what I loved. That decision changed the course of my life.

Tommy Robinson, speaking on a podcast while in the U.S., said: "Rupert is our Trump. Rupert Lowe is the only political figure who can save Britain." He went on to claim that Nigel Farage is weak and is already waving the white flag regarding the growing threat of Islamic influence in Britain. It would be interesting to hear what people think about this. Personally, I’m not aligning myself with any one party just yet, but when it comes to voting in the next election, it will certainly be between Restore and Reform UK.

Oh my God. Tucker Carlson is now claiming that Islamic terrorists engage in terrorism and are radicalized because of “colonialism”. Uh, pretty sure Mohammed was enslaving non-Muslims, massacring Jews and Christians, and raping kids long before colonialism ever existed. Tucker Carlson is literally justifying ISIS and Al Qaeda by blaming “colonialism”. He is a straight up Islamic jihadist sympathizer. Very dangerous. I won’t stop saying it: his son works in the White House and yes, I am bothered by that. I am very bothered by all of this.

I actually agree with this imam. The sharia penal code, the hudud, is barely 1% of Islamic sharia, and it isn’t even enforced in most Islamic countries. So the fear that Muslims are coming to impose amputations and stonings on America is overblown. But here is what the imam won’t tell you. Sharia is not mainly about the penal code, and the threat it poses to the West was never primarily violence or terrorism. The real danger is the erasure of individual liberty and religious freedom in any region that becomes heavily Muslim, because sharia governs the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims, and it enforces blasphemy norms either by law, as in Islamic states, or by fear and self-censorship everywhere else. By that measure, every single Islamic country on earth applies sharia. Not one of them permits full freedom of speech. Not one of them grants non-Muslims the same rights as Muslims. The penal code is the part they’ll debate with you. The erasure of your freedoms is the part they won’t.

“I wanted to become a police officer… but the police shot and killed my mom, I don’t want to be a police anymore…..My mom is dead. One bullet, and my whole life collapsed.” These are the words of 10-year-old Ilya, standing at his mother’s grave on her 40th day in Iran and his mother, Afsaneh Mahdinejad, was killed on January 8 in the city of Rasht by Khamenei’s security forces. This is what the Islamic Republic produces. Not security. Not stability. Orphans. #IranMassacre

A glimpse into the life of a Canadian soldier – Captain (Retd.) Thady Holmes – and how the Inner Engineering program transformed his life from a state of trauma to one filled with purpose. "I started my career as a Canadian paratrooper at the age of 17. Between the period of 2009 to 2017, I don't have many memories to relish. All that I can remember are the gloomy days when I lost my mother after returning from war, losing my son, and also a close friend to suicide. I had lost hope to live and was having suicidal thoughts. I remember trying to pull the trigger by putting a pistol into my mouth, but thankfully, it didn't work properly, hence didn't fire. In 2017, dancing was the only thing that I enjoyed. It would ward off my worry and anxiety. Even after retiring from the military, having a successful career in finance and a happy family of three, emotionally, I was still down and this led to fluctuating weight and health. Luckily, I discovered Sadhguru through YouTube in 2019 and his videos motivated me to get initiated into Shambhavi Mahamudra. I intensified my practice and as days passed, my experience became so profound that I could experience something inexplicable, which sparked my interest to learn Sanskrit. I was moved when Sadhguru spoke about the Cauvery farmers ending their lives, and I started working with people who needed special emotional care. I also started teaching Yoga to veterans in Nepal for free. Seeing my transformation, my wife also participated in Inner Engineering. In 2020, I closed my business and started volunteering full-time. Since then, I've never worked for more than a handful of rice, and lead my family on my pension. To put it simply, Inner Engineering solved what 6 years of drugs post-war couldn't, and helped me disentangle myself from the chains of karma, and lead the simple life that I'm currently leading!" Designed by Sadhguru, Inner Engineering is a technology for wellbeing derived from the science of Yoga. It is offered as a comprehensive course, which comprises of seven sessions.

🚨 MEDIA BLACKOUT! Pakistani Flag Flies Over Chicago — Streets Already Conquered Devon Street in Chicago - long dominated by Pakistani, Indian, and Bangladeshi Muslims - wasn’t “hijacked” this weekend. It was paraded as conquered territory. 🔴 From the rooftops flew the Pakistani flag — the banner of a terror state that harbors jihadists, persecutes Christians and Hindus, and fuels global Islamic movements. Not in Karachi. Not in Islamabad. But in Chicago, USA. 🔊 Below, the Islamic procession marched: Armies of men chanting Islamic slogans over loudspeakers. Mock coffins honoring “martyrs” paraded through the streets. Public self-flagellation rituals on full display. Traffic was blocked and neighborhoods disrupted, with police compliance. This was not a cultural parade. It was a victory march. A statement that these streets are no longer American, but Islamic. 🇵🇰 When the flag of Pakistan waves openly above U.S. neighborhoods during Islamist rituals, it is not a celebration. It is a conquest. It is dominance. It is a declaration of ownership. WHY did our leaders, our police, and our federal agencies do nothing? They handed over the streets and let this stand. 👉 This is not diversity. It is surrender..

Most people have no idea about the real history of Al-Aqsa Mosque, because they’ve only been fed the Islamic Palestinian propaganda version of events. They believe that Al-Aqsa has always been Islam’s third holiest site, that it has belonged to Muslims since the dawn of time, and that Israel is the oppressor for merely existing near it. None of that is true. The Temple Mount in Jerusalem was the holiest site in Judaism for over a thousand years before Islam even appeared in history. It housed the First and Second Jewish Temples, the center of Jewish worship and pilgrimage. When the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 AD, they built pagan shrines over it, but its Jewish identity never disappeared. In the 7th century Islam emerges and expands through conquest, and begins hijacking Jewish and Christian sites, prophets, and narratives. At first, Jerusalem had no major significance in Islam. Muhammad never set foot there. There was no mosque. There was no pilgrimage. There was no Islamic history tied to the city. But that changed during the brutal power struggle between Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan and Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr. By the late 7th century, Islam was deeply divided. Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr controlled Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities in Islam. And Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, the Umayyad Caliph, controlled the Levant. But Abd al-Malik had a problem, he didn’t want the people of the Levant traveling to Mecca for pilgrimage, because that would give power to his rival. Abd al-Malik declared the Temple Mount as Alaqsa mosque that was mentioned in the quran, and he made it an alternative place of pilgrimage. He ordered the construction of the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque to divert attention from Mecca. And just like that, Islam manufactured a holy site for political gain. The real Masjid Al-Aqsa referred to in the Quran was not in Jerusalem, it was between Mecca and Ta’if. There was no mosque in Jerusalem at the time. There was no Islamic presence there. Yet, centuries later, after Islam had conquered the city, the Islamic narrative retroactively applied this Quranic verse to Jerusalem, again, for political convenience. If Israel wanted to act like Islamic conquerors, it could have easily done to Al-Aqsa what Turkey did to the Hagia Sophia. It could have converted the mosque into the Third Temple, banned Muslim prayer on the site, erased any trace of Islamic history, as Muslims did to Christian and Jewish sites throughout history. But Israel didn’t do that. Israel allows Muslims to pray there freely. Israel protects Al-Aqsa, even as it is used to spread anti-Semitic propaganda and incite violence. Yet, despite this, the world condemns Israel for merely existing in its own capital.

I met with participants of the Ukrainian Youth Forum “Youth Acts.” Today, our country celebrates Youth Day. Of course, for all of us, security is the first priority. But the Government must also take very specific, clear action to support all normal forms of public life in Ukraine – so that Ukrainian families, our people, our youth, and our children have a normal environment for life in Ukraine, one that is as fulfilling as possible. The renewed Government of Ukraine is now preparing the Cabinet of Ministers’ program of action, and I expect that civilian aspects of life, and youth policy in particular, will receive sufficient attention in the Government’s program. And we all understand the depth of this task – it is not simply about something the state can give, or something a person can do – independently or in cooperation within their community or with the state. It is much more than that. It is about reasons to stay in Ukraine, to live in Ukraine, to plan your own life and your family’s life in Ukraine, and to know that Ukraine will care about you and your family, about your future.
