In a world where the iron fist failed, the velvet glove strikes. The Trojan Horse—Part 3 of the 21 Million Covenant—ushers in the most insidious battle yet: not against chains or code, but against the human soul. As Wall Street giants roll out glittering Bitcoin ETFs, millions surrender sovereignty for convenience. But the Covenant refuses to yield. From Berlin to Jakarta, from pulpits to bakeries, a quiet insurgency rises—teaching that self-custody is not a chore, but a sacred trust. In this climactic struggle, faith, technology, and futurism converge, splitting the world into two: sterile corporate BTC and sovereign, living Bitcoin. The Covenant’s victory is not conquest, but preservation—the defence of truth in a world of lies. https://blockchainology.substack.com/p/the-trojan-horse image

AI: "I can predict the future based on patterns" Bitcoin: "I AM the future of money based on mathematics" Convergence point: AI agents paying each other in Bitcoin for microtasks, creating an autonomous economy that runs 24/7 without human intervention. Scary? Maybe. Inevitable? Probably. Better than corporate-controlled alternatives? Absolutely. image

Bitcoin is the ONLY payment system that AI agents can use without creating a dystopia. Why? Because humans can freeze bank accounts. Humans can reverse PayPal. Humans can deplatform. But Mathematics? Mathematics doesn't discriminate. When AI controls money flows, would you rather trust code or committees? image

🌿 Ode to Muslim Bitcoin Maximalism I. The Call of Truth O seeker, remember: wealth is a trust, Not chains of gold, nor paper dust. The Qur’an warns of riba’s snare, A poison hidden, a subtle snare. Bitcoin rises, incorrupt and pure, A ledger eternal, a justice secure. II. The Mirror of Ghazali Al-Ghazali taught: the heart must see, Beyond illusion, to reality. What is fiat but shadows cast, By rulers fleeting, never to last? But Bitcoin—mathematics unbroken, A covenant sealed, a promise spoken. III. The Dance of Rumi Come, beloved, whirl in the chainless light, Where no banker rules, no tyrant bites. Each block a verse, each hash a rhyme, A zikr of freedom, beyond all time. Like the reed flute sings of its root, Bitcoin recalls the primordial truth. IV. The Ummah’s Trust Muslim hands seek halal gain, Unstained by usury’s hidden chain. Bitcoin, scarce as the desert rain, Defies inflation, guards the plain. A currency just, transparent, clear, A trust for the orphan, the widow, sincere. V. The Eternal Witness O seeker, know: the chain records, Every transfer, without lords. No sultan bends it, no tyrant breaks, No bribe it takes, no oath it fakes. It stands as witness, incorrupt, sublime, A justice beyond the reach of time. VI. The Closing Prayer So rise, O Ummah, with wisdom’s flame, Guard your wealth, protect your name. In Bitcoin’s light, let riba fall, For God is One, and truth is all. image

The Trust Problem AI needs to be trusted. Bitcoin doesn't need to be. That's not a bug—it's the entire point. As AI agents become more autonomous, they'll need verifiable, immutable records of their actions. Bitcoin's blockchain isn't just money—it's an audit trail that can't be faked. The future isn't AI OR Bitcoin. It's AI audited BY Bitcoin. #TheRobotsAreAlive explores this convergence 🤖⚡ www.ashikusmanbooks.com image

🪙✨ “But won’t we run out of bitcoin?” Layla’s question is one many people ask when they first hear there are only 21 million bitcoin in existence. It sounds like a tiny number compared to the billions of people on Earth. But here’s the magic: Each bitcoin can be split into 100 million tiny units called satoshis (or sats). That means there are 2.1 quadrillion sats in total—plenty to go around! 💬 In 'Bitcoin is Halal: Adam and Layla Discover Digital Gold', we break down complex financial ideas like this into simple, culturally grounded explanations. Baba’s answer to Layla isn’t just cute—it’s empowering. It shows how Islamic values and modern technology can coexist beautifully. 📖 Whether you're a curious kid, a thoughtful parent, or an educator exploring halal finance, this book is your gateway to understanding Bitcoin through a lens of ethics, clarity, and fun. 🔍 Want to know more about how Bitcoin works, why it's halal, and how it fits into everyday life? 👉 Visit www.ashikusmanbooks.com to explore Bitcoin is Halal and join the journey. #BitcoinIsHalal #Bitcoin #SatoshisForEveryone #IslamicFinance #BitcoinExplained #EthicalMoney #BitcoinEducation image

Taken from the Foreword by nostr:nprofile1qqstc6e4z5chqxvt4heztekcafrvxalezqfx2kxey3kazemnt3kkxfcpremhxue69uh5y6t5vdhkjmjdv94xc6tn9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5qj6amnwvaz7tmdv46xzmtpv3jk2mnpdqhxxmmd9ahx7um5wfex2mrp0yh56atnd35k6nn0wd68ym0cryp from the Arabic edition of Bitcoin Is Halal: أكثر من عشرين عاماً من اليوم قد أسلمتُ بنعمة الهداية من الله ولله الحمد وقبل إسلامي كنت نصرانياً. من الأشياء الذي جلبني إلي الإسلام هو أهمية العدالة بين الناس في حياتهم ومعاملاتهم ومع ذلك تمسك المسلمين بشريعة وأحكام وحكمة فطرية. كذلك الذي أعجبني كثيرا في شريعة الإسلام كان موقف المسلمين تجاه مسألة الربا. منذ الصغر عرفتُ قبل الإسلام أن من أقبح المعاملات التي حرمها الله في وحيه حتى عند النصارى هو الربا, لكن تربيتُ في بيئة قد أباحه وجعله جزء من حياتنا اليومي. بمجرد أن سمعت أن تحريم الربا كان جزءا من الإسلام ولا يزال المسلمون يتبعونه حتى اليوم اشتعل قلبي إيمانا وأثار ذلك اهتمامي وقربني إلى الإسلام. More than twenty years ago today, I was blessed by Allah to be guided to Islam, al-Hamdulillah. Before my conversion to Islam, I was a Christian. One of the things that brought me close to Islam was the importance of justice between people in their lives and their dealings, and with that, the Muslims' adherence to a divine law, its rulings, and its innate wisdom. Likewise, what greatly impressed me about Islamic law was the Muslims' stance towards the issue of usury (riba). From a young age I knew, before my conversion to Islam, that one of the ugliest transactions forbidden by Allaah in His revelation, even according to Christians, was usury. However, I was raised in an environment that permitted it and made it a part of our daily life. As soon as I heard that it’s prohibition was a part of Islamic law and that Muslims still adhere to this prohibition to this day, my heart was ignited with faith, it piqued my interest, and it drew me closer to Islam. فمنذ بداية إسلامي تمسكتُ بهذه المهمة وهي تجنب الربا بأنواعها وزجر كل ما يعاونه فبذلك كنت أدعو إلى العودة إلى العملة الذهبية والفضية مثل الدينار والدرهم. لكن رأيت بأن الذهب والفضة لهما ما يصعب استخدامهما في معاملاتنا التجارية اليوم. فحينما سمعت عن البيتكوين عرفت مباشرة بأنه قد يسد حاجتنا في العملة العصرية يمكن استخدامها في جميع أنواع المعاملات الحديثة. لهذا السبب كنت داعيا إلى استخدام عملة خالية من رائحة الربا وغباره. So, from the beginning of my conversion to Islam, I adhered to this important matter: avoiding all types of usury (riba) and warning against anything that assists it. Because of this, I advocated for a return to gold and silver currency, like the Dinar and Dirham. However, I saw that gold and silver have aspects that make them difficult to use in our commercial transactions today. So when I heard about Bitcoin, I immediately knew that it could fulfill our need for a modern currency that can be used in all types of contemporary transactions. For this reason, I have been advocating for the use of a currency free from the scent and dust of usury. هذا الكتاب بين يديك جهد بديع مدهش في تعليم مسألة البيتكوين. جودته في طريقته السهلة كونه على سبيل الكتاب للصغار لكن مليء بالفوائد ينفع به الكبار. فقمت بترجمته إلى اللغة العربية لكي يستفيد من المسلمين في بلادهم العربية. نحن المسلمون بحاجة إلى طريقة أخرى في معاملاتهم المالية كي نبعد غبار الربا عن أراضينا. طريقة الكتاب هي الحوار بين آدم وأخته ووالديهما إذ قاما بتعليمهما ما هو البيتكوين؟ من أين جاء؟ هل يمكن أن نثق به؟ وأهم السؤال وهو ”هل البيتكوين يكون حلالا؟“. This book in your hands is a marvelous and astonishing effort in teaching the subject of Bitcoin. Its quality lies in its simple method, being in the style of a children's book, yet it is filled with benefits that are valuable for adults. I have translated it into Arabic so that Muslims in Arab countries may benefit from it. We Muslims are in need of another method for our financial transactions to keep the dust of usury away from our lands. The book's method is a dialogue between Adam, his sister, and their parents, as they teach them: What is Bitcoin? Where did it come from? Can we trust it? And the most important question: "Is Bitcoin permissible (Halal)?” قمت بمتابعة ما يدعا في هذا الكتاب في كون البيتكوين حلالا ووجدته موفق فيما هو مكتوب وموافق للشريعة حسب علمي. في رايي, هذا الكتاب سيستفيد منه كل من قرأه, في مسائل الدينية والأمور الدنيوية. فهو يجمع بين علم الواقع وعلم الشريعة. I looked into the claims made in this book regarding Bitcoin being permissible (Halal) and found the arguments presented in the book to be sound and in accordance with Islamic law, to the best of my knowledge. In my opinion, anyone who reads this book will benefit from it, in both religious and worldly matters. It combines an understanding of contemporary reality with the knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence. نسأل الله عز وجل أن يجعل هذا في ميزان حسناتنا وأن يوفق المسلمين إلى الإبتعاد كل الإبعاد عن أحد الموبقات الذي روى الشيخان البخاري ومسلم We ask God Almighty to place this in the balance of our good deeds and to guide Muslims to completely avoid one of the major sins which the two shaykhs, Imaam al-Bukhaari and Imaam Muslim narrates that عن النبي ﷺ أنه قال: اجتنبوا السبع الموبقات -يعني: المهلكات- قلنا: وما هن يا رسول الله؟ قال: الشرك بالله، والسحر، وقتل النفس التي حرم الله إلا بالحق، وأكل الربا، وأكل مال اليتيم، والتولي يوم الزحف، وقذف المحصنات الغافلات المؤمنات. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Avoid the seven destructive sins." We asked, "What are they, O Messenger of God?" He said: "Associating others with God (shirk), sorcery, killing a soul whom God has forbidden except by right, consuming usury (riba), consuming the property of an orphan, fleeing on the day of battle, and slandering chaste, innocent believing women [accusing them of fornication].” www.ashikusmanbooks.com image

📅 On this day in 1937, Alan Turing published his groundbreaking paper "On Computable Numbers" - laying the foundation for everything we now call computing and AI. 🤖 In our book "The Robots Are Alive! Adam and Layla Demystify AI", we introduce young readers to Turing's famous test through the eyes of siblings Adam and Layla. Instead of complex academic jargon, they discover it's like playing "Guess Who?" - but instead of guessing faces, you're figuring out if you're chatting with a human brain or a robot brain! 💡 Why does this matter today? Because as AI becomes part of our daily lives, our children need to understand: • What intelligence really means • How to think critically about technology • That the questions Turing asked in 1937 are MORE relevant now than ever The Turing Test isn't just history - it's the foundation for understanding modern AI, from chatbots to the assistants in our phones. And if we can't explain these concepts to our youth in simple terms, how can we expect them to navigate an AI-powered future? 📚 "The Robots Are Alive!" breaks down big AI concepts into family-friendly conversations that stick. Because the future of AI isn't just being built by engineers - it's being shaped by the next generation who understands it. 🤖 “The Robots Are Alive! Adam and Layla Demystify AI” is available NOW on Amazon and Google Play. 👉Amazon (paperback): http://bit.ly/47lxNLS 📬 Check your regional Amazon site for best pricing and delivery options. 👉Google Play (ebook): http://bit.ly/4qiAaHR ⭐️ For more details and downloadable worksheets, visit www.ashikusmanbooks.com #AlanTuring #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #STEMEducation #TuringTest #AILiteracy #TheRobotsAreAlive #ComputerScience #FamilyLearning image image image
