Ordinarily 1 + 9 is always going to be equal to 10.
First of the year, once that is affirmed, the 10th is going to be 9 days later.

(Perhaps unless there was a way to retroactively correct and hence adjust. The other boys with reports of the moon sighting didn't make their way yet through the mountains to the announcement center because they were blocked by the elk beast.)

Some reputable sources have said the first day, whereas a new month basically starts the evening before that day, for Muharram 1447, coinciding with June 2025, is Thursday; restated for clarity, last night the start of Muharram 1, and 1st full day, is Thursday, today.
Some sources are saying Friday, tomorrow, is the first full day.

Some entities made an announcement online.

The way the announcements are made sometimes makes it sound like some parties not only assert that a certain start date is correct, but that they are the undisputed leader and their announcement should be followed, as though the announcement for the first day of Muharram, or other date, is fact, a problem when there's discrepancy, or they are incorrect. This also happens an unfortunate frequency on dates of popular significant concern, like the start and stop of Ramadhan, and day of Eid.

Part of the whole idea, is the start and stop dates are independent of a political basis being used as the determination of the start and stop dates.

There are websites now with moon phases that are readily available. Fractions of waning might be available as well.

There are guidelines from many years ago on what constitutes moon phase sightings.

There really isn't a need to write much beyond the title; this post written just hours after the previous one on the Imminent Fusion...  possibly, post US strikes on Iran nuclear sites over the weekend.
So not to include it in the previous article, but not to completely separate it either.

There have been callings for 'regime changes' in Iran by different world leaders.

A total change, what does that mean?, and what it implies?, as it pertains to Iran. Does it mean a overly simple dynamic, goodbye Shia, and back to Shah?

This brought up, because only a selected few learned and high degrees individuals are really in the place to offer critiques on this sensitive area.
Same with some aspects of Yemen, who some there, perhaps Houthis, reportedly mentioned a joining in on the 'struggle against Israel' after developments in the past few days.

Ok, back to learned men discussion. Usually when that discussion comes up, Sayeeds and notable ancestry is brought up. In the case of both Iran and Yemen, it gets even more complicated, because it may involve Sayeeds within Sayeeds to determine what the higher determinations are. Of course who dares denigrate or denounce a Syeed how ever far up or down within the already well high up metric.
The conversation is not limited to just Yemen and Iran on the subject of which Syeed is in more esteem than another. Perhaps all of the current nations in the Middle East have been a witness to matters whether officially involving the government or over something else, perhaps down to everyday mundane matter such as how much of a certain animal or plant should be eaten for a meal.

The big in general problem, that many nations are faced as we speak, in the Middle East, Arab World, Arab or Ajami, Persian, or mixtures of the two, in the US, in US' neighboring north and south nations in Canada and central American, the Golden Triangle, European nations, is as we know, opiates opium, opioids, you get the drift.

That plant, being a root to ramifications that cause so much distraught.

The US suffers from huge amounts of overdoses each year, among these, individuals in the age group of 30 to 50, that should or could have been the pool of the ongoing wave the Country's leadership future, instead, gone, year after year.

Iran has witnessed a situation with opium plant or it's spinoffs as well. Some reports say a minimum of a couple of million to others about 10 million users.

Opiates are making their way from production locations to other locations. There are multiple source production locations. Trying to keep the discussion focused, but here's the deal, drug crops grow in major quantities in Afghanistan, Pakistan, in South America, the Far East south region, and Baqa Valley Lebanon area.

Here is a other discussion topper, whether loudly spoken or not, people trying to use Islam to mask drug use and drug sales. Those who are doing it know who they are, no reason for us to name names and point fingers.

In this day and age, it is rare for a leadership post figure, second or third tier government level, to come right out and announce or make it obvious a 100% in placement in drugs, or making use of the proceeds to enrich themself.

More likely, it's drifty, shifty, slowly milk from the buddy's buddy's buddy sort of thing, and finally arrive at a few extra million in the pocket.

If a picture can be placed here, of a Big Gulp on hot day resting beneath the 7-11 dispenser without compressing the nozzle, knowing we'll after a while, you're going to get a free fill-up because the machine drips. It's still theft. It's still crossing the ethical boundary.

Let's start getting to the bottom of what's going on in the world today, non-stop bombing, in Ukraine, over the skies in Israel and Iran. Just point the finger to nations' sole leaders and say that's who's at fault?

Probably doesn't really work that way, rarely does it ever, except in a few cases many decades, hundreds or thousands of years ago of an outright tyrannical king or queen.

It's probably more of an elder giving ear to an elder who gave ear to an elder, and yup, 1+1, just like the buddy's buddy system, and let the Big Gulp sit under there and collect.


-A quick write-up before today is over, written evening before dark EST; of course there is much more to the moving parts and pieces of the discussion, and one could list the statistics if opiate use by country; it all becomes exposed after a while.

Perhaps one of the biggest questions circulating around the globe as we speak, Sunday, on one of the longest days of the year, post US strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran in recent hours, is, where is this all heading?

So far there have been, as expected, global outcries.
Similar happened upon US involvement in the Vietnam War.

As expected, there have been renown US Democrats that have expressed some disagreement to the move. Republican-Democrat party lines not singing the same tune.

Also expected, is Iran was going to have or plan to have, some kind of sit down or sit downs with longtime sort-of-an-ally-in-some-aspects, Russia.

Salient activity Russia has been involved with recently, is the exchange of missile strikes and attacks with Ukraine.

Over the past couple of years, it seems as though at least media on a global level has been bombarded with either the Gaza situation, or the Russia-Ukraine situation.
Possibly also known as, the competition for polarity.

With Iran approaching Russia amidst both concurrent situations, it may appear that, 'where this is all heading', is one gigantic fusion.

There might be a caveat to a simplistic grand fusion, which is, where exactly does Russia stand on the Gaza issue, and Israeli well-being in general? On the one hand, Russia may want to keep solid relations with Iran, who has recently exchanged missile firings with Israel, while at the same time, there are historic threads of immigrants to Israel of Russian descent, vice versa, a progression from times where there were arguable oppression of Russian officials or would be, could be, potential officials, by other Russian officials, especially in the era precipitating for example WWII (research reports of opposition to the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee (JAFC)), to a now more evenhanded political arena.

Degree of involvement by Iran on facilitating war technologies like drones, to Russia, markedly in Ukraine, has brought up many questions.

Some of the above issues start ramifiying and running off like tributaries from a lake, into ethical and even religious issues.

Historically, Iran has had the 'mental stuff and smarts', to be able to develop technologies used for war, regardless of whether under the Shah regime, where some say the social fabric started to creep towards being more decadent, on the 'Islamic count', or under the more Shia regimes post the late 1970s early 1980s.

More recently, the new stern regime had also showed signs of decadence, which is where the denouement starts.

Iran recently reported to being the leading nation of sex-change operations, may not really help their standing in the 'Muslim World', a heavy concentration of which is in the Middle East, considering the Islam position on that activity, which in short is beyond forbidden, in the main; there are so many layers of behaviors that are outlawed prerequisite to an actual medical operation, that medical operations may not even appear.

So, plausibly, even to rest assured, there are divides in Iran, over that issue, and others.

There are individuals in Iran or from Iran that have been a witness to many things and political changes, and who's in power, does not really affect their practice, correct practice, of Islam all that much.

That said, or not said, there are concerns over the prevalence of some of the activities referred to above, the Arabic tongue refers to it as fasad, (those things the Prophet Lut and Shu'ayb as quick reference shunned) that were or still are existent in Russia, also on pornographic sites, that seem to be pushed towards the top of Internet viewing screens all over the world, even when viewers really, really don't want it there, and tried to avoid it. Now yes, there have been some crackdown coming from the seat of government in Russia in the past couple of years, which may be a saving grace to Russia having the slim margin of allies it has.

Russia was not invited to the recent WWII Normandy reunion, hosted by French leader,on the grounds of what has been going on in Ukraine today.

There are echoes of a repeated theme right now, of where is Russia? on these issues, perhaps the hugest landmass under one government in the world, surrounded by nations that need to maintain cooperation with it for basic survival of the people, referring food, crops, import and export.

Circling back to Iran on the Gaza issue, there is tremendous global outcry over what appears to be an ongoing oppressive situation that those living in Gaza are being subjected to. Iran voiced a dislike of the situation, some of it through the use of missiles.

Back to Iran reportedly assisting Russia in the way military technology like drones. Iran has many Muslim individuals in it. Ukraine has numerous Muslim individuals in it. Why would A help B hurt A?, is a regularly recurring question in the back of minds of many.

At the same time, Russia has many Muslim individuals in it.

Which might lead to a fork in a road, is A really hurting A, or helping A, is A and B the same thing, etc.?

Then there's the discussion, well maybe the drones fired in Ukraine, have nothing to do with the Islamic matter. Which then brings up the very ugly question, of what do the drones have to do with? So.e people might just jump at the answer and tell out it has to do with money.

If money is the matter, then Muslims might withdraw their support. Then again, who has bucked a code existing for decades, of firing missiles into Israel, which on a 'logic' principle, (which might not always ipso facto be affirmed as entirely correct,) which might, have an impact on perceptions of them by some members of the Muslim who might have views on the Gaza oppression issue; 'sorry', in today's world of information exchange in the seconds, fatwa sharing in the seconds, Muslim individuals in the large, about roughly a third to a half of the earth's population just on the post Muhammad (sla..) emphasis count, are not the simple and run over by by 2+2, 2-1 theories.

Issues need to confronted and ironed out, within entities, on a neighbor to neighbor basis, and global basis, done peacefully, done well-informed, without any games, done fairly.

Drones and nukes are not necessarily the same thing. As matter of fact, the the regular person, a drone can be any number of things, just flying or swimming robot taking pictures, drop a box a food off, or used to ram into something, independent of what's inside. Nuclear material can be independent of what houses it, a robot, a suitcase, a drone, a factory.

With one big fusion of tensions, Gaza, Ukraine, Russia, US, Iran, the competition for polarity, Russia-Ukraine theater, or Gaza theater, might not exist as it was over the past couple of years.

At this time, there are some uncomfortable divides going on, politically, militarily, and religiously, and they all affect each other.

It started with just a few cities, people engaging in pretexts of retaliation for crackdowns on illegal immigration, by protesting violently. A few days later, the trend starts in a number of places all over the Country.
The process of widespread, organized protesting takes planning.
And it takes planners.
There may be some people out there that feign to be on one side of the tracks, but actually on another, agents working for entities other than the USA, furtively developing plans that could have the potential to disrupt or even cripple the flow of business in the USA, and hurt the health and welfare of its citizens.
The referent planners and schemers of violent protests, could come in the disguise of community activists, civic organizers, and politicians, to name a few.

Here in the USA, and those of us that are sincere Americans, safeguarding our Country and leaders is a priority. This post will be left broad, as it references newly released information, information which is bound to have numerous ramifications, especially in the global diplomatic community and more. It will also be left skeletal, as about every point are words that can constitute a headline. For everyone to have all the knowledge of the earth, or say one sole person to know all the affairs, might be an ambition but rarely does it happen. At that, it appears appropriate to go ahead and mention, that according to a book (S. Nursi) (keep in mind whether S is before or after in some cases might not have but so large a concern), discussed in that biography that Muhammad was the only one granted, as a miracle, knowledge of all the affairs of the world. Recently in the news, an individual known to the popular English speaking press as Sa'ad Al-Awlaki, surely there are spelling and middle name variations, released a video threatening the US White House seat and others. The video itself, is really, really hard to find online. It is known right away, that typically when videos of the sort are released, from locations basically in the Arab World, they are probably in Arabic. Hence the the news stories that make their way around the English press and media, are probably translations, and often combined with quick takes, interpretations, media hype and propaganda. So for right now, all we really have, us that there are reports of a video threatening, but not footage of the video where it can be presented alongside analysis. All said, according to news reports, the crux of the rationale behind the video being produced, is the situation over Ghaza (Gaza). By the way, one of the first red flags the propaganda and money is being prioritized by unscrupulous some, over the health and welfare of those in Gaza, is numerous news and media outlets keep spelling Ghaza Gaza, and ignorant mispronunciation of Ghaza. It has a vibratory rolling guttural sound, like ghafir, an Arabic word having to do with gratefulness, not a simple g as in gum.
See for yourself, Google it, search the term online, spelled either way, AI, as weak and misguided as it is sometimes will tell you right away.
غزة Circling back to the threats, we the US, cannot be threatened. A major concern, perhaps the zenith, is the analogy of a two braided large load of bread. Imagine a loaf of bread about 20 pounds. In the process of baking the bread, the very beginning starts with the flour, dough, water deal. Once that's mixed together, it probably takes both hands to shape up the bread, and eventually form two lengthy strands, and perfectly entwine them so that the braid formation appears. With 20 pounds of dough, it might take sometime and some shaping up to do for it to look just right and be ready to be put on the cover of a food magazine. As a matter of fact, several others might have to join in, if the head chef or head cook if the house started the project, others in the household might have to get their hands in there to help shape up the two fold loaf. It's pretty evident where this conversation is going. The analogy is to Palestine and Israel. It takes a lot of hands, many of them underhandedly, to shape up a political divide, let's say this time around since October 7th, using previous tensions in the region since about 1910, in the backdrop. That 20 pound loaf in the analogy, continuing might start to become (to other smaller foods in the kitchen or on the table) a central and focal point of polarity on world politics, a major source of divide if the issues, intensity of tensions, violence especially if the unnecessary category, keep going. After the referent October 7th incident, there are many here in the US that condemned the incident; and when Israel took actions that involved violence reported to be in response to it, there are many here in the US that condemned some of the levels of violence that was involved. Some of us with knowledge here in the USA, are not going to accept an oversimplified story being wrongfully portrayed that everyone on Capitol Hill is just along for the ride of oppression on Ghaza. We spent serious money on aid for Ghaza so the people there could eat, not too far back. There are individuals reputed to have noble ancestry in the USA, the same for many places in the world, travelers and representatives of Arab nations come to here to represent and so on. Where we are at today, is Ghaza seems basically locked up in certain ways, with hungry individual susceptible to attack. Cite the last 2 Eid festivals for this year, (Fatir and Adha) Eid after Ramadhan, there were reports that individuals were being fired on during the prayer, the Eid about the historic sacrifice, about 2 months or so later, was rife with stories about individuals killed in horrific ways while in line to obtain basic foodstuffs, like bread. Of course there are many on the earth that are disgusted and sick of the whole thing, and want that sort of oppressive scenes to all go away. But let's remember how it ot started, a series of one violent event after another. The discussion on Ghaza and it's future, - the scope of the discussion being narrowed, to prioritizing economics over health and welfare of the Quds, Palestine, it's people, and all the people in region, whether named Israel or Palestine. So discussing the concept of the Ghaza trap, that has been warned about by Palestinians for decades will not be gone into too much here. Those that know about the compilation of the region and it's history, know full well that there have been victims of violence in many different aspects and ethnicities. Essentially, the 'who cares' attitude, where bombs are considered okay to be dropped on them if economic gain is possibly in sight, even if it was historic Bany Israeli, and groups of mixed ancestry, seems to be intermittently going on. Back to the divide becoming a focus and heart of global divide. The violence in the Palestine/Israel region continued, and it began to spill over more and more. Other nations and groups eventually got involved, sucked in, or entwined in the tensions increasingly. Iran got involved. The US got involved. There are countries in Europe that took political actions toward pressuring Israeli military action to lighten up on some of the violence. The Houthis, basically in Yemen, got involved. The idea of the 'oppression machine' on the Palestinians is starting to go around and around more. Terrorists in different parts of the world are using the 'concept' of the oppression machine as rationale to carry out acts of terrorism. The escalations of oppression on Ghaza, is reported to be the rationale for the recent June 2025 threatening video by the individual Sa'ad Al Awlaki. A few things. The reports are, in the video, threats are also aimed at Musk. It's a little late. As those of us that keep up with the news here are aware, the dynamics in the relationship between Musk and the White House have rapidly changed. Thus, some aspects of the video, well here's an easy one, miss the applicability, as Musk may not even be involved in Capitol Hill the same way as the video might present it. Secondly, the Al Qaeda presence in Yemen is nothing new. Struggles within Yemen over political issues is nothing new. That 20 pound loaf of bread discussed earlier, the entire Muslim World and people are not going to suddenly fall in love and go headlong into following along with branches of Al Qaeda in Yemen, just because they made an announcement denouncing oppression upon Ghaza. Nor falling headlong with ISIS, Houthis, or anyone, based on a one-time stance announcement. The basic reason why, Islam already said to defend the holy places. Let's go back to the Houthis for a minute. There are too many complicated words and different vagaries of the history of Yemen, terror groups, terror networks, global politics respective the region, Islam in the region, descent to one grand sheikh and descent another grand sheikh and disputes they had to fit all into one page. Unfortunately it has to be brought up, that not everyone is deserving to know all the fine points details, nevermind be a part of what comprises it. Therefore what will be done here, is mention a few key words and phrases, where you can do your own research, and see for yourself. Maybe a few small comments with the intention of being eye openers will supplied. We note the scenes of hunger the first half of the year 2025 in Ghaza. You can find these abundant online. Please view some of the scenes of hunger going on in Yemen. A link is below here. Of course your own searches will yield many more. There is an effort to keeping the photos in good taste, and do not leave lasting scars in the mind, as many scenes of hunger in Yemen right now, are doing: https://www.gettyimages.com/videos/poverty-in-yemen How much is popular known here in the USA and how much coverage did the story on the 2007 Marib suicide car bombing receive? The incident whose victims were in large part tourists from Spain; there were some Yemeni victims reported as well. The extent of coverage of the story is not the main point; the event may be a critical moment in analyzing and assessing the timeline of developments that eventually include the Awlaki threat video of June 2925. Note the following terms having to do with the politics and strife in Yemen, and terror groups in general:

• Al-Qaeda in Yemen (AQY)
• Al-Qaeda in the Southern Arabian Peninsula (AQSAP)
• Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, AQAP
• ISIS
• Houthis
• Presidential Leadership Council (PLC)

A title of a news post could have been or included, from Awlaki to Awlaki.
Sa’ad Bin Atef al-Awlaki is reported to be from in the main the same tribe but US born Anwar Awlaki, the latter succumbing to anti-terror efforts in 2011. There are those that are being exposed, the ones that design the plots usually involving violence, trafficking, and oppression of others, that the bids are being placed on to carry out violence by different groups whose names and outward dress of the groups mean nothing.
