Two favourites I repeat most often:
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي، وَارْحَمْنِي، وَاهْدِنِي، وَاجْبُرْنِي، وَعَافِنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي، وَارْفَعْنِي
"O Allah forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, support me, protect me, provide for me and elevate me."

Because there been a long national and international campaign to paint London as lawless because we have a Mayor who is Muslim. I expect when he leaves the post racists who don't even live here will quiet down somewhat.

So an imam makes du’a asking Allah to stop the killing of Palestinians, and the Charity Commission calls it “inflammatory”?
Are we now at the point where Muslims need permission from the Charity Commission to decide what they can pray for?
We’ve issued an official warning to Lewisham Islamic Centre for “inflammatory” comments, requiring the charity to improve it's handling of speakers and events hosted at its premises.

FUCKING BREXIT YOU GASLIGHTING TWAT. – at Whitley Bay, England
The amount that food prices have risen is just insane.
They’re up 40% since 2019!
Much of this is directly due to the Tories’ and Labour’s crazy energy policies and big hikes in National Insurance.
They’re also both responsible for the ‘Packaging Tax’. The Tories created it, Labour enacted it.
It costs the average household £52 a year.
We’ll scrap it in our first Budget.
Altogether, with lower taxes, cheaper energy and less mad regulation, we’ll cut your food and shopping bills by £140 a year.

یہ ویڈیو افغانستان کی ہے جس میں ایک افغانی بھائی نے دوسرے افغانی بھائی سے سوال کیا کہ روزگار کیسے چل رہا ہے؟؟
اس نے درد بھری آواز میں جواب دیا کہ حالات بالکل خراب ہیں،مزدوری نہیں ہورہی۔۔۔مزید کہا کہ جب پاکستان میں تھا تو اچھی کمائی ہوتی تھی اور خوشحال زندگی گزارتا تھا،
پاکستان میں انسانیت کی قدر تھی،ہمیں عزت دی جاتی تھی لیکن یہاں (افغانستان) میں طالبان کے ہاتھ میں ڈنڈا ہے۔صبح سے ایک روپیہ بھی نہیں کمایا۔۔۔
دوسری جانب افغان طالبان سوشل میڈیا پر یہ تاثر دینے کی کوشش کر رہے ہیں جیسے افغانستان میں ہر بندہ خوش ہے لیکن حقیقت اس ویڈیو میں واضح ہے۔

ICE deported Ayaz Ahmed to Pakistan in July. Within 14 hours of landing, Ahmed was dead — and his family says they still don’t know what happened.
Ahmed, 61, moved from Pakistan to Chicago’s suburbs in 1997 and owned several businesses. On June 3, ICE officers detained him for overstaying his visitor’s visa. His children tried to accelerate his deportation, worrying that Ahmed’s health would deteriorate if he stayed in detention. According to a doctor’s letter ABC7 reviewed, Ahmed had type 2 diabetes and needed daily medication. His lawyer told the Chicago Sun-Times that he had high blood pressure and required a breathing device and nasal spray. Around June 10, Ahmed told his lawyer he was receiving his medicine, but it was unclear how consistently.
On July 29, Ahmed and other detainees began a roughly 30-hour journey on an ICE-chartered plane, departing from Fort Worth, Texas and making stops in Iceland and Bulgaria. One witness on the flight said Ahmed had urinated on himself. ICE said that, during the flight, there were no signs of medical distress and that Ahmed received all his medication.
The plane landed in Islamabad on July 30, and another witness said soon after, Ahmed “fainted right then and there.” They added, “All they did was…put him in the [Federal Investigation Agency] offices, where they interrogated us,” referring to Pakistan’s federal law enforcement body.
According to the postmortem, Pakistani officials brought Ahmed to an Islamabad hospital about 14 hours after his plane landed; by then, he was already dead. His family is now asking questions of Pakistani authorities and ICE about what happened before the flight landed and during those 14 hours.
ICE said any claim of neglect is “categorically FALSE” and that when an individual is transferred to their home government, they are “no longer in ICE custody” and “ICE does not have authority over their care.”

This was not a dumb military tactic when you factor in the limitations of smoothbore muskets, the slow rate of fire and the importance of concentrated coordinated volleys.
Linear formations were a rational response to the military technology available in the period. The tactic was designed to deliver decisive lethal amounts of firepower, to break cohesion/morale and induce routs which resulted in short decisive engagements rather than drawn out conflicts.
It was actually extremely effective use of the technology of the period and the British particularly perfected this tactic of close range concentrated musket fire to induce routs, such that they would eat musket fire to get closer to the optimum range to deliver the most lethal volley.
It was precisely these tactics that allowed colonial empires to flourish alongside naval improvements.
Horatio Nelson ironically used similar tactics in naval warfare to monumental effect during the revolutionary wars.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
التشكيلات الخطية كانت التكتيك القياسي في القرنين الـ18 والـ19. البنادق الناعمة كانت غير دقيقة وبطيئة التحميل (3 طلقات في الدقيقة تقريبا)، لذا سمحت الصفوف الكثيفة بنيران مركزة، والسيطرة على الجنود في دخان المعركة، والحماية من هجمات الفرسان.

The expression employed by Bulleh Shāh here is bhuriyā̃ wāley, from bhūrā/bhūrī, denoting a coarse woollen blanket traditionally worn by Punjabi peasants, rather than a borī (gunny sack).
A more faithful rendering of the verses would therefore be:
“The coarse-cloaked have been made kings;
The Mughals have drunk deep of poison’s cup.
The high-born wander, struck into silence;
How utterly have they been swept away!”

Never have I seen anything more incoherent, self-defeating, and self-implicating than this. The person accusing Iqbal and Jinnah himself stands true on all charges – racism, deceit, and myopia.
To begin with, it has been argued that Muhammad Iqbal “Kashmiri” tried to “Punjabize” the Muslim League. Does that not sound fantastic? What is more fantastic is that it is factually incorrect. Until Iqbal's death, the Muslim League had a meager presence in Punjab. Leadership positions were largely held by people from the minority provinces, except for Bengal, including Jinnah.
Second, your claim that the Muslim leadership of the minority provinces had no intellectual or political capacity to challenge such an overt machination is a severe indictment of a vague group – "Indian Muslims" – which is not a monolith if we go by the racial standard you so much cherish.
On the contrary, the leadership of the minority provinces was pragmatic. It saw the viability of the Pakistan plan and struggled for its realization. In that plan, Punjab and Sindh were to selflessly accept Muslims from the minority provinces. This only solidifies the fact that Iqbal was a Muslim par excellence, far removed from petty provincialism or ethnic politics.
Moreover, after deciphering your racism and below-par intellectual capacity above, it is not hard to understand your perversion of Jinnah's Kanpur statement. The statement, far from being a divorce, was a clarion call to the Muslims of the minority provinces. Jinnah perfectly saw the future amid the raging Second World War that Congress was in a mood to compromise and wanted all of India for itself.
Jinnah's fears were based on the "glorious" Congress rule of 1937 and were immediately proved true by the Quit India Movement, where Congress wanted the British to quit without an agreed formula. He was further vindicated by the Cabinet Mission and by what is happening today to those who remained in India.
The reference to Bengal is a failed effort to salvage the glaring flaws in your aforesaid thesis. Sadly, it made matters worse. You called it "tactical pragmatism rather than tribal affinity," which repudiates your race thesis. In addition, what "resources" did Jinnah seek to exploit when, in his own words, Bengal was nothing without Calcutta?
If you have someone to blame, it is only Maulana Madni and Maulana Azad, who in their naivety led minority Muslims toward suicide. Pandering never worked, and it will not work. A couplet from Iqbal may help you better orient your thoughts:
فرقہ بندی ہے کہیں اور کہیں ذاتیں ہیں
کیا زمانے میں پنپنے کی یہی باتیں ہیں
That sinister parasite, Muhammad Iqbal Kashmiri, actively lobbied for the Punjabisation of the Muslim League.
He was clear enough in his convictions that, when confronted with a crossroads of choice, he consciously chose to employ the ideologies and political instruments of Indian Muslims ('minority provinces'), such as Muslim nationalism and the Muslim League, both organic developments arising from their changing socio-political circumstances since the Battle of Buxar in 1764, and particularly after the Great Jihad of 1857, in the interests of Pakistani Muslims ('majority provinces').
He also included Bengal within this framework, though this inclusion must be understood in the context of his tactical pragmatism rather than tribal affinity. Like Jinnah, he primarily aimed to leverage the province's economic assets and reinforce Pakistan's strategic viability.
"What is the use of Bengal without Calcutta? They had much better remain united and independent. I am sure they would be on friendly terms with us."
— Jinnah, Delhi, 1947
Unfortunately, while all this was unfolding, the leading Leaguists of the minority provinces raised no sustained protest. Finding them already under the influence of Islamic brotherhood that served as a convenient cloak, men like Iqbal succeeded in advancing their strategy of marginalising and dismantling Indian Muslim political interests in favour of Pakistan's rise.
"In order to liberate 7 crore [Pakistani] Muslims ... let the two crores of [Indian] Muslims be smashed."
— Jinnah, Kanpur, 1941
"(The only task of Indian Muslims is to) Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice! "
— Jinnah, Aligarh, 1942
This is an unfortunate online phenomenon that exists in hyper-nationalist circles across South Asia, not just limited to Pakistan. It's the same mechanism that some Indians use to appropriate Pakistani successes online, in that specific case it's worse as our successes are often commercialized and profited from by your country.
Meanwhile offline most Pakistanis do not look at successful Indian Muslims as quasi-Pakistani, even within diaspora communities we view you as an entirely different community to us despite being similar shades of brown.
Zohran Mamdani is clearly an Indian Muslim American and Indian Muslims should take pride in his successes.

People will agree with this, then go to their local masjid which was founded in the 80s or 90s or something by a group pakistani or bengali uncles, they’ll go eat at certified handslaughtered places which were certified by desi ulama who did their due diligence. The list goes on.

Random thought:
In a nutshell this encapsulates everything wrong with British society imo.
It's a deeper existential disconnect, that is visible in moments like this but far more pervasive.
Note the stark psychological difference in disposition between a God conscious mind striving to overcome nafs, even at moments of inconvenience, to subordinate his desires and decentre his own sense of importance in recognition of something infinitely greater than himself, compared to a mind fettered by a material understanding of existence, that it cannot see beyond material comfort, nor comprehend transcendence beyond self, such that a two minute inconvenience is framed through a lens of xenophobia.
Some people will say it's not that deep but this is the physical manifestation of a spiritual sickness that the Qur'an repeatedly warns us of - spiritual blindness - and it's endemic in our part of the world.
