The Great Fitna of February 14th: Guidelines for protecting yourself from love and other sins!

By Yanis Iqbal*

(Issued by the Supreme Council for the Prevention of Un-Islamic Fraternization, Department of Haram Affairs, February 2025)

As the dreaded month of February descends upon us, bringing with it the cursed festival of Valentine’s Day, we issue this urgent directive to all devout members of the faith.

Key Guidelines for a Pious and Pure February

Identify and Isolate the Love-Struck Infidels

- Conduct surprise raids in universities, parks, and suspiciously well-lit cafes where male and female students might be engaging in "group study" (a known euphemism for degeneracy).

- Vigilante squads may form WhatsApp groups to document sightings of zina (for research purposes only, of course).

- Special attention should be given to couples seen exchanging "eye contact" or, worse, lowering their gaze too respectfully, which could indicate the presence of repressed desire.

Ban the Instruments of Fitna

Roses: Especially red ones, as they symbolize the flames of Jahannam awaiting those who succumb to desire.

- Teddy Bears: A gateway drug to moral corruption, known to turn perfectly pious youth into haram relationship seekers.

- Heart Emojis: The Prophet (PBUH) never used them, so neither should you. Instead, respond to affectionate messages with scholarly Hadith refutations or a stern "Astaghfirullah."

Living as True Men and Women

- Emphasize that true piety means avoiding even the suspicion of zina. A woman should carry herself like a floating specter, ensuring no accidental brush of fabric, no unintended jostle in a crowded bazaar, and certainly no laughter above 30 decibels. Any hint of posture that suggests confidence must be corrected immediately with a downward gaze.

- Reiterate that all interaction between men and women must occur within strict boundaries. The ideal setting for a conversation is a well-lit room with a minimum distance of six feet, monitored by a morally upright elder with a clipboard and a stopwatch.

- Teach young men that the mere act of touching a non-mahram is equivalent to being stabbed in the head with an iron needle—a timeless wisdom proving that concussions are preferable to handshakes.

- Women are reminded to exist in a manner that neither attracts nor repels attention. Unnecessary breathing in public spaces should be minimized where possible, as should any movement suggesting comfort or ease.

Promote Sharia-Compliant Alternatives to Haram Dating

- Nikah-on-the-Spot Booths: Those caught engaging in suspicious activity with a non-mahram may rectify their mistake by signing an instant Nikah contract. Witnesses will be provided by the local madrasa.

- Marriage or Exile: Any couple found exchanging handwritten letters or sneaky WhatsApp messages will be given two choices—immediate marriage or permanent relocation to Antarctica.

Punishments for Violators

- First-time offenders: A mandatory 10-day recitation of Surah Noor with additional lectures on "Why Everything Fun is Haram."

- Repeat offenders: House arrest under the supervision of an overly dramatic auntie who specializes in guilt-tripping and exorcising Western influence through long, unsolicited rants.

- Extreme cases (hand-holding, God forbid): Automatic enrollment in a boot camp where offenders will be forced to wear matching wedding outfits for a full month to "think about what they’ve done."

Final Warning: DO NOT FALL FOR THE TRAP OF LOVE!

This Valentine’s Day, remember that Satan whispers through seemingly harmless chocolates and Instagram captions. Stay vigilant. Stay unmarried until forcibly arranged. And above all—stay haram-free.

On Teachers’ Day, remembering Mother Teresa as the teacher of compassion

By Fr. Cedric Prakash SJ It is Teachers’ Day once again! Significantly, the day also marks the Feast of St. Teresa of Calcutta (still lovingly called Mother Teresa). In 2012, the United Nations, as a fitting tribute to her, declared this day the International Day of Charity. A day pregnant with meaning—one that we must celebrate as meaningfully as possible.

A comrade in culture and controversy: Yao Wenyuan’s revolutionary legacy

By Harsh Thakor* This year marks two important anniversaries in Chinese revolutionary history—the 20th death anniversary of Yao Wenyuan, and the 50th anniversary of his seminal essay "On the Social Basis of the Lin Biao Anti-Party Clique". These milestones invite reflection on the man whose pen ignited the first sparks of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and whose sharp ideological interventions left an indelible imprint on the political and cultural landscape of socialist China.

Targeted eviction of Bengali-speaking Muslims across Assam districts alleged

Gandhiji quoted as saying his anti-untouchability view has little space for inter-dining with "lower" castes

By A Representative A senior activist close to Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) leader Medha Patkar has defended top Booker prize winning novelist Arundhati Roy’s controversial utterance on Gandhiji that “his doctrine of nonviolence was based on an acceptance of the most brutal social hierarchy the world has ever known, the caste system.” Surprised at the police seeking video footage and transcript of Roy’s Mahatma Ayyankali memorial lecture at the Kerala University on July 17, Nandini K Oza in a recent blog quotes from available sources to “prove” that Gandhiji indeed believed in “removal of untouchability within the caste system.”

Is U.S. fast losing its financial and technological edge under Trump’s second tenure?

By Dr. Manoj Kumar Mishra* The United States, along with its Western European allies, once promoted globalization as a democratic force that would deliver shared prosperity and balanced growth. That promise has unraveled. Globalization, instead of building an even world, has produced one defined by inequality, asymmetry of power, and new vulnerabilities. For decades, Washington successfully turned this system to its advantage. Today, however, under Trump’s second administration, America is attempting to exploit the weaknesses of others without acknowledging how exposed it has become itself.

What mainstream economists won’t tell you about Chinese modernisation

By Shiran Illanperuma China’s modernisation has been one of the most remarkable processes of the 21st century and one that has sparked endless academic debate. Meng Jie (孟捷), a distinguished professor from the School of Marxism at Fudan University in Shanghai, has spent the better part of his career unpacking this process to better understand what has taken place.
