Liberation through monotheistic theology and decentralized technologies
Human action is non-negotiable; existence requires action. Thus, social existence requires communication, which functions through language. ​Communities are formed through human interaction. ​Human interaction relies on economic exchange. ​Economic exchange requires a precise measure of value to prevent friction and dispute. ​Measuring value requires a standardized unit of account—a universal denominator for comparing worth across time and space. ​Communities cannot scale or endure without a reliable way to measure value. ​Measuring value reliably requires sound money. ​Unsound money, subject to debasement or centralized control, distorts price signals and erodes the trust required for social cohesion. What sound money dooes humanity have? ​Gold serves as the primary sound money for the physical, offline world due to its physical scarcity and historical durability. ​Bitcoin serves as the primary sound money for the digital, online world due to its algorithmic scarcity and decentralized architecture. ​All monetary alternatives lacking absolute scarcity or censorship resistance fail as long-term foundations for human cooperation. ​Sound money is not merely a financial asset; it is the fundamental infrastructure for community building.

Massive interview with Simon Dixon is online on the Majlis Channel. Check it out brothers and please share it everywhere:
How do we know that this is not happening with btc hardware wallets (even the open source ones)? Crypto AG was a Swiss company specialising in communications and information security founded by Boris Hagelin in 1952. The company was secretly purchased in 1970 by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and West German Federal Intelligence Service (BND), and jointly owned until about 1993, with the CIA continuing as sole owner until about 2018.[1][2] The mission of breaking encrypted communication using a secretly owned company was known as Operation Rubicon. With headquarters in Steinhausen, the company was a long-established manufacturer of encryption machines and a wide variety of cipher devices.[2]

These open non-exploitive spaces for community, trading and worship were also built by the prophet pbuh and the sahaba in the founding years of Islam. View quoted note →

The word "magazine" isn't just what you think it is. it’s a history lesson. It comes from the Arabic word *makhzan*, meaning "storehouse" or "depot." As trade grew between the Islamic world and europe, this word traveled to Italy (*magazzino*) and eventually into English. The building blocks of European capitalism: inventory, logistics, and record-keeping are direct Islamic influances. From this perspective, the Austrian school of economics is an attempt to preserve these original, organic market principles. The Austrian view fights to protect the free, decentralized nature of ancient markets against the "statist" approach of Keynesian economics, which are a subversion of true markets. By rejecting top-down government control, the Austrian tradition seeks to defend the spontaneous order that were a central part of islamic market traditions and philosophy. Wa Allahu A'lam

This is why fiat is haram: Surah Ash-Shu'ara, 26:سورة الشعراء أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِينَ (Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.) ​182. وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ (And weigh with the correct scales. ​183. وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ (And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.

كيف تحفظ دينك ومالك بالبيتكوين - دليل عملي الكثير منا يشعر أنه يعمل بجد أكبر ليجد نفسه عالقا في نفس المكان دون أن يتقدم. فيما يجد مدخراته تفقد قيمتها، ما يدفعه للاستدانة من بنوك ربوية. في غالب الأحيان هذه الخطة لا تثمر إلا مزيدا من الديون وهي زيادة عن ذالك لا تتوافق مع تعاليم ديننا. هذه هي تحديات النظام النقدي الحديث: التضخم، والديون القائمة على الربا، والتحكم والنلاعب المركزي بالمال وموازينه من قبل الدول والبنوك الكبرى. ولكن هناك طريق آخر. طريق مبني على النقد السليم، والشفافية والإدارة طويلة الأمد. نحن متحمسون لمشاركة كتاب "كيف تحفظ دينك ومالك بالبيتكوين" — دليل عملي للأفراد، والعائلات الذين يرغبون في توافق حياتهم المالية مع مبادئهم الأخلاقية والدينية. يستكشف الدليل إطارًا متكاملاً للعمل: التمويل الشخصي: التخلي عن الديون القائمة على الربا، وبناء مدخرات سيادية، والتخطيط للتعليم والملكية. العائلة والميراث: تخطيط التقاعد، والميراث الرقمي، وتوفير لأهداف الحياة الكبرى مثل الحج — دون المساس بالقيم الدينية. استراتيجية الأعمال: استخدام البيتكوين كأصل في خزينة الشركات، واستخدامه للمدفوعات  على شبكة عالمية مفتوحة. هذا ليس مجرد تعليم مالي — بل هو دعوة للانتقال من التخطيط قصير الأمد إلى السيادة المالية طويلة الأمد. إذا كنت تبحث عن طريقة أكثر استدامة لإدارة أموالك، وأن تبني ذلك على قواعد إسلامية سليمة  ومبادئ، ومستقبلية فهذا الدليل هو لك. روابط الملفات أدناه. لنبنِ معا مستقبلا أكثر إشراقا. Many people feel like they’re working harder just to stay in the same place — watching savings lose value, navigating debt-based systems, and trying to build stability on foundations that don’t align with their values. This is the challenge of the modern fiat system: inflation, riba-based debt, and centralised control. But there is another path.  A path built on sound money, transparency, and long‑term stewardship. I’m excited to share Living Ethically and Strategically on the Bitcoin Standard — a practical guide for individuals, families, and small businesses who want to align their financial lives with their ethical and spiritual principles. The guide explores a cohesive framework for: - Personal Finance: Moving away from riba-based debt, building sovereign savings, and planning for education and property. - Family & Legacy: Retirement planning, digital inheritance, and saving for major life goals like Hajj — without compromising values. - Business Strategy: Using Bitcoin as a treasury asset and accepting payments on an open, global network you control. This isn’t just financial education — it’s an invitation to shift from short-term survival to long-term sovereignty. If you’re seeking a more resilient, principled, and future-proof way to build wealth, this guide is for you. Links to PDFs below. Let’s build forward.

From the brother at the Bitcoin Majlis BIG NEWS We're excited to announce the Second Annual Muslim Bitcoin Summit, taking place April 17–19 in Dallas, Texas. Last year showed there’s a real hunger in our community for serious, grounded conversations about Bitcoin from a Muslim perspective. This year we’re taking it further. The summit will bring together Muslims from around the world who are thinking deeply about Bitcoin, sound money, and what financial sovereignty actually looks like in practice. Expect thoughtful talks, open discussion, and practical workshops focused on custody, sovereignty, and privacy. Early bird registration is now open at mslmbtcsummit.com If last year was any indication, spots won’t last long. Looking forward to seeing you there!
