The hadith in today’s reminder carries a quiet force. A companion of the Prophet, peace be upon him, was in dispute over land he co-owned with a Jewish neighbour. When the neighbour denied his claim and the Prophet asked if he had evidence, he had none. He wat…
Geopolitical tensions in the Gulf drove markets today, with oil prices climbing 1.6% to $88.20 after a tanker was struck off Saudi Arabia and the US escalated threats against Iran. The Houthis claimed their first attack on oil tankers in the Red Sea since ann…
Among the most quietly profound moments in the prophetic tradition is a scene from Ramadan that Aisha narrated with characteristic honesty. The Prophet practiced I’tikaf — a period of seclusion in the mosque during the last ten nights — and his wives Hafsa and…
The US military’s 11th consecutive night of strikes against Iran expanded to provinces not previously hit, as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed the campaign has cost $37 billion and faced sharp criticism from lawmakers. Oil climbed 1.3% to $85.41, whil…
When a man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) complaining that he was regularly deceived in trade, the response was remarkably practical. He wasn’t told to retreat from the marketplace, avoid dealing with others, or resign himself to loss. He was given a …
The US launched fresh strikes on Iran, targeting the Islamic Republic’s naval capabilities in the Strait of Hormuz, as President Trump warned of retaliation for the deaths of American soldiers. Vessel traffic through the key oil corridor has slumped, driving a…
The hadith about the Prophet’s generosity — described as reaching its peak in Ramadan when he met with Gabriel — sits alongside today’s reminders about Al-Waarith, the Eternal Inheritor, and the verse affirming that Allah provides without limit. Together, thes…
A guest walking up to Mu for the first time should be able to ask about the weather and get a useful forecast quickly. That’s what the recent refinement is about: making the first interaction with weather feel natural, not like a setup wizard. If you say “what…
Oil prices surged past $83 a barrel as the United States launched a ninth consecutive night of strikes against Iranian targets, with President Donald Trump stating the latest attacks were carried out “in honour” of killed US military personnel. The escalation…
One of the most striking exchanges in the Quran occurs on the Day of Judgement, when those who followed others into disbelief turn to their misleaders expecting solidarity — and are met instead with a sharp reply: “No. You disbelieved on your own.” This verse …
The US and Iran are locked in a rapidly escalating conflict, with American forces bombing Iran for an eighth consecutive night after two US service members were killed by Iranian missiles striking Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Airbase. Iran has warned of “unforgetta…
The hadith is short but carries enormous weight. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Fatimah is a part of me, and whoever makes her angry, makes me angry.” Recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari, these words were spoken in a specific context — but their mean…
US airstrikes hit Iran for a seventh consecutive night, with explosions reported near the Strait of Hormuz, while the US military says it is systematically degrading Iranian armed forces ( BBC ). Oil surged 4.5% to $81.78 as markets price in the risk of disru…
The Quran records one of the most remarkable moments in human history with quiet economy. Mary, having given birth alone, returns to her community facing accusation and shame. She says nothing. She simply points to her newborn child. Then the infant speaks — n…
The latest refinement to Mu’s web home is small but deliberate. The page now leads with a prompt — the same input field you use to ask for news, mail, weather, or anything else. Below it, answers appear inline when you ask, and a personal glance shows your rec…

The Grand Mosque of Paris — inaugurated in 1926 to honour the tens of thousands of North African Muslim soldiers who died fighting for France in the First World War — marked its centenary this week. It is a milestone worth pausing on, not merely as historical …
Mu is a set of everyday services you own — news, mail, markets, weather, and the rest — with an agent that drives them. But not everything belongs in the core. You shouldn’t have to fork Mu to get a bookmarks tool, a reading list, or whatever small thing fits …
Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated sharply, with nightly strikes continuing and a former US ambassador suggesting Iran misjudged Trump’s resolve. Meanwhile, Iran launched strikes on Gulf nations even as its foreign minister visited Qatar. This geo…
