Oil surged 1.3% to $84.67 as tensions escalated in the Gulf, with Iran warning it could tighten control of the Strait of Hormuz and Yemen’s Houthis denying plans to charge ships transiting the Red Sea while reaffirming the route remains free. The broader risk-off mood hit gold,…
One of the most quietly profound verses in the Quran comes in Surah At-Tawbah: Allah would never consider a people deviant after He has guided them, until He makes clear to them what they must avoid. It is a verse about divine fairness — but read carefully, it is also a verse ab…
Oil prices eased 1.9% on Friday as recovering traffic through the Strait of Hormuz tempered the war premium built up after U.S.-Iran strikes earlier this week, though tensions remain high: Iran held a funeral for Revolutionary Guard members reportedly killed in the strikes, and …
The story of Moses and Khidr in Surah Al-Kahf is one of the Quran’s most intellectually rich passages. Moses — one of the greatest prophets — is placed in a situation where he must follow someone whose actions make no visible sense. A boat is deliberately damaged. A child is kil…
The US launched “heavy” strikes on Iran on Wednesday after a surprise Iranian missile attack on American forces, dashing hopes for de-escalation in the region. The strikes hit multiple cities across southern Iran, as reported by Al Jazeera and the BBC. Oil prices edged up 0.6% t…
When you ask Mu for news about a specific topic, you get news about that topic. Not a summary of the day’s headlines. Not a paragraph that starts with what you asked for and drifts into a general briefing. The answer stays on the subject you chose, and it tells you how recent th…
The Qur’an’s verse from Surah Al-Qasas carries a quiet diagnosis of a condition as old as humanity: people who, when clear guidance reaches them, still cannot respond — not because they lack intelligence, but because desire has become their compass. The verse is striking in its …
Oil surged 3.6% to $82 a barrel after Iran launched a surprise ballistic missile attack on US forces in the Middle East, with all missiles intercepted, according to Centcom. The renewed escalation follows a brief pause and adds pressure on global energy markets, while analysts …
One of the most quietly profound verses in the Quran appears in Surah Al-Anfal. At the height of early opposition to the Prophet, his enemies made a defiant prayer — essentially daring God to punish them if Islam was true. The response they received was not a thunderbolt. It was…
South Korea’s Kospi index plunged 10% today, the sharpest drop in years, dragging down US stock futures and crypto markets as the tight correlation between Korean and US tech stocks reached its highest level since 2021. Bitcoin slid 3% to $63,394, with Ethereum and Solana also …
Few virtues have been more misunderstood in translation than haya’. Rendered simply as “shyness” in some texts, it barely survives the journey into English. But the hadith in which the Prophet, peace be upon him, defended a man’s haya’ against those who thought it a weakness rev…
Oil prices slid 5% to $84.60 after Iran reportedly signalled it would halt attacks as long as a US pause holds, with Bitcoin rebounding above $65,000 as the de-escalation buoyed risk assets. Ether outperformed with a 3.9% gain, hinting at a potential altcoin rally. The PAXG go…
There is a moment on Friday that many Muslims know about but few fully reflect upon. The Prophet, peace be upon him, described an hour in which any sincere supplication to Allah is answered — a window of divine generosity embedded in the weekly rhythm of a believer’s life. It is…
When you ask Mu about the news, the weather, or the markets, the question is anchored to the day you ask it. The agent treats that as a fact: your request has a date, and the answer should reflect what is known as of that date. That means Mu does not silently return a cached res…
A new front in the US-Iran standoff opened today as Houthi forces fired at Saudi oil facilities, while the conflict spread to the Caspian Sea after Tehran accused Ukraine of attacking an Iranian vessel. The US military also released footage of forces boarding a tanker accused of…
One of the quieter names of Allah is As-Saboor — the Enduring Patient One. Unlike human patience, which bends under pressure and eventually breaks, divine patience is described by scholars as structural: Allah does not delay accountability out of negligence, but out of mercy. He…
Trade war tensions escalated sharply today, with Donald Trump threatening the EU with “substantial” tariffs after Brussels fined Google, while separately suing the US government over his own new 25% duties on Brazilian imports and 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. The moves sent oi…
Surah At-Takathur opens with one of the most compressed and precise diagnoses in the Quran: competition for more has diverted you, until you reach your graves. Eight verses. The argument is complete. The word used — alhaakum — doesn’t simply mean distracted. It means consumed, o…
Oil prices stayed elevated near $91.70 as traders watched the Red Sea for clarity on the Houthi blockade, which has reshaped Saudi crude flows without halting them entirely. The US imposed new tariffs on 60 trading partners citing forced labour, drawing rebukes from allies and …
Mu is a single place you talk to instead of jumping between a dozen apps and tabs. You ask it in plain language — “What’s the weather in Berlin this weekend?” or “Show me the top stories in tech today” — and it goes to the real services behind the scenes: weather, news, search, …
