A country cannot move forward while women are held back. We must create an environment where women can access opportunities, grow their businesses, participate in leadership, and provide for their families with dignity. Supporting women must go beyond words. It must be reflected in our policies, priorities, and actions. #mwongozompya #sotepamoja

Abdul El-Sayed: β€œWe are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

MashaAllah! As parents we all need to invest in laying a beautiful path for our children. Providing them with opportunities to study and interact with scholars is what will outlive us. Shukran for sharing!
This is a video of my son, Ibrahim ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Hassan, from one of my visits to Kuwait, where we met Sheikh Muhammad Jamil al-Nuristani, hafidhahullahu ta'ala. Meeting him left a real impression on my son. I explained to him the status of the scholar and what a privilege it was to be able to put my questions to him. Among the things I asked about was Muhammad ibn al-Wazir al-Yamani. I had been reading his works, and I asked the Sheikh about some of them and about what I had come across in them, as well as about Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and some of the statements of Sa'd al-Din al-Taftazani. My son sat there listening to the whole conversation. When we left, he said to me, "Dad, I really enjoyed being with the Sheikh. It motivated me." I share this, my brothers and sisters, because it is so important to bring your children along on your journeys in seeking knowledge. Let them see the scholars and the people of knowledge. Let them see you, their father or mother, sitting as a student and learning from the ulama. That leaves a deeper mark on them than any lecture or two you could give them yourself.

Over 700,000 public university students are caught in the middle of a dispute they did not create. Since the nationwide university staff strike began on 2 October, their education has been disrupted, their plans put on hold, and their future left uncertain. Our students deserve more than silence. They deserve urgent action and a lasting solution. #HigherEducationKE #ComradesMatters #LecturersStrike #KenyanStudents

To leaders of Northern Kenya please remember that even our opinion is a trust and if people perish because of what we tell them - we shall be held to account by Allah a day where our tribes can’t defend us and if they reconcile not only does humanity win but we shall be honored!

Nyinyi Wasomali, Woriah, Walalo, nyinyi Wahindi, Wahindi wa colony, wale hawapendi Waafrika, nyinyi watu wa Murima, Wakikuyu, wezi wa Murima, nyinyi Wajaluo, watu wa kurusha mawe na kung’oa reli, nyinyi watu wa Minnesota! The list of labels, stereotypes and insults goes on and on. Sadly, this is the kind of language we have normalised in our society. We seem to forget that every race, tribe, religion, caste and community has its own clans, sub-clans and different groupings. Within all these communities, you will find good people and bad apples. No community has a monopoly on either. The bigger problem is that our political leaders have deliberately nurtured this culture of division for decades, knowing very well that a divided society is easier to manipulate and control. Look at the numerous road accidents and building collapses we have witnessed. A reckless matatu driver operating in Central or Eastern Kenya may end up killing innocent passengers who belong to his very own community. A negligent developer or contractor may put up a dangerous building that collapses, killing people who share his own ethnicity, religion or background. Suddenly, the same people we are quick to defend simply because they belong to our community are responsible for the suffering of their very own people. Greed, corruption, negligence, dishonesty and incompetence have no tribe, race or religion. Neither do their victims. Some of these bad apples will happily endanger, exploit and even destroy the lives of their own people if there is money to be made. Yet we continue defending individuals based on their surnames, tribes, religions or political affiliations instead of judging them by their character, actions and integrity. We need to understand one simple thing. A dishonest person does not suddenly become honest because you share a tribe, religion or surname. The same person you defend today may be the one whose actions destroy your life tomorrow. Until we learn to see people as individuals rather than representatives of entire communities, we will continue falling for the same cheap politics of division. Humanity above all.

EXCLUSIVE: Over the next several days, I will be releasing a series of previously undisclosed recordings that I have held back until now. These recordings reveal disturbing discussions involving individuals with close ties to foreign governments in the Middle East about an alleged coordinated effort to destroy Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's reputation. The conversations include discussions of fabricating documents, manufacturing damaging allegations, and weaponizing social media to spread disinformation about Omar. This goes far beyond ordinary political opposition. The American public deserves to hear these conversations and judge the evidence for themselves. Stay tuned.

The heart breaking images of the collapsing building in Nairobi today, leaves many questions on our minds. May Allah grant reprieve to all those affected and ease the circumstances. SubhanaAllah!

We thank you for standing strong and proud of you! We pray that Allah protects you too! ❀️all the way from Africa abayo macaan!
Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress. I have always stood up to him and that will never change. The pedophile protector will never silence me.

Women are critical in the political landscape. Women should position themselves early in political party leadership and be available at spaces where decisions are made. At Mwongozo Mpya women are provided with a safe platform to ensure their inclusion.
As we look ahead to the 2027 General Elections, we must ensure that women and young people have a voice in shaping Kenya’s political future.
