It's Wednesday, May 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Somalian Muslim man trusts Christ and is kicked out of home A young Muslim man in Somalia was kicked out of his home recently after converting to Christianity.  The 20-year-old struggled with substance abuse and had not been home to see his Muslim parents for months. That's when an underground pastor shared the Gospel with him. The young man came to Christ and gained freedom from drug use. After going home, however, his parents drove him away because of his new faith. The young convert told Morning Star News, “Now that I have loved [Jesus], I do not have a family standing with me. I do no not know what to do. I need prayers.” Please pray for this brother in Christ in Somalia, Africa. The country is ranked second on the Open Doors' World Watch List of most difficult places to be a Christian.  In Matthew 19:29, Jesus said, “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.” French Muslim youth vandalizing Catholic churches and assaulting Catholics The European Conservative reports there have been a string of attacks on churches in France recently which have received little attention from the mainstream media. In one case, Islamic youths insulted a Catholic priest and threatened to set the church building on fire earlier this month. Days earlier, another group disrupted a parish meeting in the same area. Muslim attacks on Catholics have included vandalism, physical assault, and kidnapping. Supremes split decision result: OK religious charter school unfunded In the United States, the Supreme Court delivered a split decision last Thursday in a case involving religious education. Previously, Oklahoma's charter school board had approved funding for St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School. It would have been the country's first publicly-funded religious charter school.  However, Oklahoma's Supreme Court blocked the school. And the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 4-4 in the case, leaving the lower court ruling in place.  For some reason, conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself from the case.  Defense Secretary Hegseth: "“King Jesus, we come humbly before You." U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth led a prayer meeting at the Pentagon last Wednesday. Listen to his opening prayer. HEGSETH: “If you would bow your head in prayer. “King Jesus, we come humbly before You, seeking Your face, seeking Your grace, in humble obedience to your law and to Your Word. We come as sinners, saved only by that grace, seeking Your providence in our lives and in our nation. “Lord God, we ask for the wisdom to see what is right, and in each and every day, in each and every circumstance, the courage to do what is right in obedience to Your will. “It is in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that we pray. And all God's people said, Amen. Thank you.” The voluntary 30-minute prayer meeting was called “Secretary of Defense Christian Prayer & Worship Service.” Hegseth said it may become a monthly event.  Colossians 4:2 says, “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.” Planned Parenthood to close 8 abortion mills in Iowa and Minnesota Last Friday, Planned Parenthood North Central States announced it will close eight locations across Iowa and Minnesota over the next year. Planned Parenthood blamed the closures on states passing anti-abortion laws as well as a freeze on federal funding for abortion. The closures will also involve laying off 66 staff members. CDC no longer recommends COVID-19 shot for pregnant women & kids The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will no longer recommend COVID-19 shots for pregnant women and healthy children. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made the announcement yesterday. KENNEDY: “Hi everybody. I'm Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, your HHS Secretary.  And I'm here with NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty MaKary. “I couldn't be more pleased to announce that, as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC-recommended immunization schedule. Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children! BHATTACHARYA: “That ends today. It's common sense and it's good science.” MAKARY: “There's no evidence healthy kids need it today. And most countries have stopped recommending it for children.” KENNEDY: “We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America healthy again.” Lawmakers want to launch “Natural Family Month” Republican lawmakers in Ohio are considering a bill to celebrate families. The measure would designate the weeks from Mother's Day to Father's Day as “Natural Family Month.” The timeframe goes from the second Sunday in May to the third Sunday in June. This contrasts with Homosexual/Transgender Pride Month when many celebrate sexually perverted lifestyles in June. 1,500-year-old Christian graves in Israel discovered And finally, archaeologists recently uncovered 1,500-year-old Christian graves in Israel's Negev Desert. The graves reflect Christian burial practices. Inside, archaeologists found rare ebony figurines depicting individuals with African features. Researchers wrote, “It is possible that the deceased were of ‘Ethiopian' origin, and that they, or their ancestors, converted to Christianity and moved to the Negev.” The figurines were made out of ebony wood sourced from India or Sri Lanka and likely carved in Africa before being brought to the Negev.  Researchers believe it is the first time they have discovered such artifacts in the region of Israel and Jordan.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, May 28th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

//The Wire//2300Z May 27, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UKRAINE WAR RHETORIC INTENSIFIES. STATEMENTS CONTINUE FOLLOWING WEEKEND RIOT IN SEATTLE. DETAILS EMERGE REGARDING LAST WEEK'S VANDALISM IN TEXAS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Rhetoric concerning the war in Ukraine continues to escalate, as both President Trump and the Kremlin trade insults and less-than-friendly messaging. In response to the latest Russian drone strikes in Ukraine, President Trump stated that Putin was "playing with fire" regarding these developments. In response to this, former Russian Prime Minister (and current Deputy Chair of Russia's Security Council) Dmitry Medvedev stated that the "bad thing" that President Trump alluded to is WW3.AC: This is a classic Medvedev statement; invoking threats of WW3 is a fairly standard Tuesday for Dima, as Medvedev (echoing his former role as Prime Minister) often serves as the more informal conveyor of what Putin is thinking. To the casual observer it may not seem like it, but the situation is not openly hostile yet. However, the diplomacy being conducted between the United States and Russia is heating up nonetheless.-HomeFront-Pennsylvania: Overnight, a small arms engagement was reported at Lemon Hill Park in Philadelphia. 2x were killed, and 9x others were wounded. 1x person was also struck by a vehicle during the fray caused by the shooting. Local authorities state that three separate shooters have been counted as partaking in the incident, based on the shell casings found at the scene.AC: Very few details have been released regarding the cause of the shooting, or why a large group of people was gathered in this park late at night. At first glance this appears to be a gang shooting and/or the result of a domestic dispute, though more details are needed.Texas: More details have come to light following acts of vandalism that were reported throughout Austin last week. Three separate facilities were defaced with graffiti on May 21st, and yesterday it became known that all three facilities were linked to various Islamic institutions in the area. One was a Mosque and the other two sites were cultural centers. A vigil has been scheduled for May 29th in response to the acts of vandalism, and the Austin Police Department has announced a rigorous increase in patrols, along with undercover operations to prevent further vandalism.Washington: A small riot broke out over the weekend in Seattle as a concert and prayer vigil was held in Cal Anderson Park. The event, which largely involved various performances by Christian musical groups and various prayer vigils, was hosted by Pursuit Northwest, a local Christian organization. The event (which was permitted and approved by the government), became host to violence as ANTIFA activists arrived and began assaulting the police officers guarding the perimeter of the event. 27x rioters were arrested for assaulting police at the event. None of the event participants were arrested; 100% of the violence took place between ANTIFA activists and police. However, all of the rioters who assaulted police were immediately released by a local judge on Monday.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Though it may be surprising to some, the events over the weekend in Seattle are not out of the ordinary, and merely reflect the regional norm when it comes to those who practice the Christian faith in the region. Any type of display of Christianity in Seattle is usually met with violence, so the outcome being violence conducted on those attending the event was to be expected. In this case, extreme violence was very much going to be the result from the very start...holding a prayer vigil in a park named after the first openly gay Congressman in Washington was very much going to result in a kinetic response by locals.However, one important detail that ha

In This Episode:What happens when a missionary couple confronts a demonic entity face to face—in the middle of a war-torn Ugandan village?Today, Jim, John and Lonaiah recount a chilling true story from Troy Brewer's ministry via the Confessionals Podcast, where he and his wife encountered a supernatural threat while working in Uganda.

Not everything attributed to the Prophet ﷺ is authentic — and the responsibility of distinguishing truth from error fell upon the scholars of hadith. In this first session of the explanation of Nukhbat al-Fikr, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble introduces the principles that underpin the science of hadith. You'll begin to see how narrations were assessed, why precision mattered, and how the early scholars approached the words of the Prophet ﷺ with both reverence and rigour. What to expect in this session: - The difference between primary and supporting Islamic sciences—and where hadith fits in - Why the Sahabah رضي الله عنهم exercised caution in narration, despite being eyewitnesses to the revelations - How scholars judged narrators and filtered weak reports from reliable ones - What makes a hadith Sahih, Hasan, or Da'if—and why these aren't casual labels - The roots of hadith verification long before books were even compiled This session lays the groundwork for a science that shaped Islamic scholarship—and preserved the Sunnah for generations to come.

Saint Francis was born into a world in a panic. The stabilities of the feudal world had collapsed with the rise of mercantilism. The gap between rich and poor was unsustainable and a new underclass was tearing apart the fabric of society. Then, there were the looming presence of the Mongols to the east and the transformative impact of the Islamic empire to the south - both conquerors plunging Christian Europe into an existential crisis.Doomster prophets, ferocious disputes, wild hopes and messianic saviours were commonplace.So what did the man from Assisi constellate in the extremities of his way of life? Who was this figure, beyond the sentimental portrayal that can so easily eclipse his intense radicalism? This talk explores the discoveries made by his followers - the scientia experimentalist of Roger Bacon, William of Ockham and Duns Scotus whose Franciscanism embraced Aristotelianism. It asks how the contraries embraced by Francis and the impossible path he traced might much matter now.For more on Mark see - www.markvernon.comHis new book is Awake!

This audio is Part 2 of the video.  The Third Temple and the Abomination that Make Desolate. In order to understand what may soon come to pass on the Temple Mount we must look at various positions regarding the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple… i.e. the third temple. We all know that one of the main obstacles in the way of rebuilding a Jewish Temple on Temple Mount are the Islamic buildings which are currently occupying this space. One possibility is based upon a little publicized rabbinic writing from a Rabbi Architect named Moshe Komsky that is linked to or cited on both the Christian study bible site Blue Letter Bible and the Jewish templemount.org site if you know where to look. I will play part of a video in which I believe well known past Knesset member and temple mount activist Yehuda Glick espouses what I believe is the very idea expressed in this Jewish paper. This proposal suggests that because the Dome of the Rock was built by what the Jews consider to be the monotheistic religion of Islam it would be suitable to not only remain on temple mount next to a Jewish temple but could indeed be incorporated INTO the House of Prayer for all Nations… i.e. the end times Jewish Temple. The paper proposes that the Dome of the Rock would become a central altar or worship area and then wings would be added onto it as houses of worship for each of the 4monotheistic religions which according to this paper includes Hinduism. This would then make this Dome of the Rock which very well could have been built right over the place of the Holy of Holies into a house of prayer for all nations as the proponents of this idea call it (but we call it a house of prayer for all religions). Actually we'll go one step further and call it the Abomination that makes Desolate should this be the route that is taken and we will explain why. Once I show this to you and explain the symbolism you will not be able to UN-see it and it should cause anyone who loves and wants to honor YHWH and Y'shua His Salvation to sigh and cry over this Abominations being done there as in Ezekiel 8's account of the writer with the ink horn.

Ever wondered what those overwhelming emotions are when you first see the Kaabah? This podcast by Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) breaks down the eight most common feelings Hajjis experience during their first Umrah - from confusion and awe to tiredness and even frustration with your travel companions.Drawing from decades of Hajj and Umrah experience, this discussion addresses the emotional journey that often gets overlooked in typical "how-to" guides. You'll know why feeling confused when you first see the Kaabah is completely normal, understand the proper etiquette around the sacred House, and get practical advice for navigating the crowds.The Kaabah as a direction rather than an object of worship, the significance of the Black Stone, and why Makkah is uniquely designed as a place where worship is the only focus. Stories from Seerah of the Prophet (SAW) and the Sahaba will help you understand your own experiences better, including lessons from the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah about handling frustration during sacred journeys.Whether you're preparing for your first Umrah or reflecting on past experiences, this honest podcast validates the emotions of Hajis while giving Islamic guidance on how to process them spiritually. Perfect for anyone seeking to understand the deeper emotional and spiritual aspects of visiting the holiest site in Islam, especially in this season of Dhul Hijjah.

In the next few days, Australian Muslims will be beginning their journey to take part in the Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holiest city for Muslims. Faraz Nomani is a strategy and risk professional from Greenacre in southwest Sydney. He was born in Saudi Arabia and came to Australia 25 years ago when he was 10 years old. In this episode of Weekend One on One he talks about his own pilgrimages to the Hajj and his visit this year when he will be helping other people making the pilgrimage from Australia. He told SBS's Shirley Glaister why the Hajj is so important.

   The Big, Beautiful bill has passed through the house, that's the good news.  Now wait until you hear what the Senate has to so.  Here we go.    An Islamic extremist terrorist kills a Jewish couple that worked at the Israeli embassy as they were leaving work Wednesday night in DC.  This is a horrific story and reinforces what America's position should be.    Long time Fox 4 anchor Phil Witt has written a thoughtful column about hunger in KC that deserves our attention.    The Royals bullpen pitches the whole game in a win over the Giants and Salvy moves up the home run list for catchers.    NFL owners keep the tush push play, Colts owner Jim Irsay dies and Jacque Vaughn signs on to work with Bill Self.  It's obvious Vaughn is the odds on fave now to replace Self some day.  

Secularism and Islam in Bangladesh: 50 Years After Independence (Routledge, 2025) comprehensively analyses the syncretistic form of Bengali Islam and its relationship with secularism in Bangladesh from pre-British to contemporary times. It focuses on the importance of understanding the dynamics between religion and secularism within specific cultural contexts. Arguing that extremist interpretations of Islam, which aim to establish a theocratic state, have not been able to influence the pluralistic religious and cultural life of Bangladesh substantially, the book shows that religious and cultural pluralism will continue to thrive despite the apparent threat posed by increasing religiosity among Bangladeshi Muslims. This book is a timely and significant contribution to the discourse on secularism and Islam, with relevance beyond Bangladesh and the wider Islamic world. It will appeal to scholars and researchers working in the fields of South Asian Studies, Asian Religions, and the Sociology of Religion. Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today's show with a quick update on budget reconciliation and how it's being jammed down the throats of conservatives with no vision on how to solve our major problems. While MAGA Inc. con artists like to whine about narrow majorities with purple districts, they are silent about red-state betrayals on policy and primaries, including terrible Trump endorsements. Next, we're joined by investigative journalist Jay Solomon, who is out with a bombshell expose in the Free Press detailing how Qatar funds and influences our government at every level. In particular, Qatar has recently been influencing so many politicians and media figures on the Right. We delve into each of those levels of subversion and how it seems to be directing our foreign policy. Qatar now also invests in so much of our critical infrastructure. Are we on the cusp of creating China 2.0, with an Islamic twist? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's Wednesday, May 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus British national Muslim fighters committed war crimes A recent report from the U.K. parliament found that hundreds of Islamic fighters have returned to England without facing prosecution. British nationals joined the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria between 2014 and 2019. The group targeted religious minorities and committed many war crimes. Since then, over 400 Islamic State fighters have returned to the U.K. However, the country's government has not prosecuted any of them for international crimes. Christians have faced high levels of persecution from Islamic fighters in Iraq and Syria. Both countries are ranked on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most dangerous to be a Christian.  Ecclesiastes 8:11-12 says, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.” Trump to Putin: “When are we going to end this bloodbath?” U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine on Monday. Trump said Russia and Ukraine would immediately start negotiations toward a ceasefire. He noted that the new Roman Catholic pope, Leo XIV, has offered to host the talks at the Vatican. President Trump warned that the United States would back out of the situation if both sides can't reach an agreement. Listen. TRUMP: “I said, ‘When are we going to end this Vladimir?' I've known him for a long time now. I said, ‘When are we going to end this blood bath?' It's a blood bath. I think it'd be great to have it at the Vatican. There's tremendous bitterness, anger, and I think maybe that could help some of that anger.” Trump dropped $37 million fine against Christian University The Trump administration dropped a $37 million fine against the largest Christian university in America Initially, Biden's Department of Education leveled the fine against Grand Canyon University. Brian Mueller, the president of the university, said, “The facts clearly support our contention that we were wrongly accused of misleading our Doctoral students and we appreciate the recognition that those accusations were without merit.” Ellen Keast, an Education Department spokeswoman, noted, “Unlike the previous administration, we will not persecute and prosecute colleges and universities based on their religious affiliation.” FDA discouraging young, healthy Americans from getting COVID shot On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced new rules for its approval of COVID-19 shots. The FDA said it will require more research before approving yearly COVID-19 boosters for young, healthy Americans.  The shots will still be approved for adults over 65 and for people with health problems that put them at higher risk. FDA officials noted, “The FDA will approve vaccines for high-risk persons and, at the same time, demand robust, gold-standard data on persons at low risk.” Man kills self, injured 4 outside in vitro clinic On Saturday, a car bomb was detonated outside an in vitro fertilization clinic called the American Reproductive Center in Los Angeles.  The blast killed 25-year-old suspect Guy Edward Bartkus and injured four other people. The in vitro fertilization facility was damaged, but the embryos stored inside were saved. Bartkus reportedly left behind a manifesto on a website. In it, he said he wanted to start “a war against pro-lifers” and “begin the process of sterilizing this planet of the disease of life.” Urge 19 Republican Congressmen to DEFUND Planned Parenthood Today, the House Rules Committee will have a hearing and vote on President Trump's “big, beautiful bill” to determine what budget items go to the House floor. If even a single amendment is added, the momentum we've built to stop funding Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion could vanish, reports Liberty Counsel Action. This is the last vote before the bill is placed on the House floor. Two conservative Republicans who voted “present” on Sunday night are also on the Rules Committee. The full House could vote on this bill as early as later today. Remember, there are 220 Republicans and 213 Democrats. Because the GOP majority is so slim, we need every one of them. Three moderate House Republicans are carrying the water for Planned Parenthood and pushing House leaders to continue funding the Murder Giant. Those three pro-abortion Republican Representatives include Mike Lawler (R-NY), Jen Kiggans (R-VA), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). These members are exerting significant pressure on House leadership to give up defunding Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion. We are on the cusp of victory, and we cannot allow this effort to fail. There are 19 key Republicans in leadership who need to hear from us. I've listed them in our transcript today along with a 3-sentence message you could read when you call today at www.TheWorldview.com.  Do not hesitate to leave a voicemail. Call as many of them as you can as early as you can! Email me at Adam@TheWorldview.com to let me know how many Congressmen you and your family members called.

She was 91. In an announcement on the Precept website, her ministry said,  Kay “will be remembered for her love for the Lord, His Word, and His people.” A prolific author, Arthur wrote more than 100 books and Bible studies over her lifetime including her bestseller, Lord, Teach Me to Study the Bible in 28 Days.  ARTHUR: “People need to discover truth for themselves because God promises in His word that He has given us everything that pertains, not only to life, but also to godliness, so that we might be fitted for every good work, so that nothing can come our way and throw us. “God is doing a work in their lives because the only text that they are looking at is the Bible, which is alive and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. It's a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. It is a light unto our path. It's the very Word by which we live. It's the Sword by which we stand against the enemy." She often said, “When you know what God says, what He means, and how to put His truths into practice, you will be equipped for every circumstance of life.” Through Precept's inductive Bible study method—teaching believers to observe, interpret, and apply Scripture—Arthur equipped millions around the world to study the Bible for themselves.  Indeed, the ministry was heard in 150 countries in 70 different languages.

Mustafa is an author, historian, and creator of the acclaimed ‘Beyond Bilal' lecture series, for a wide-ranging conversation on faith, identity, and the often-overlooked contributions of Black-Muslims throughout history. Mustafa shares the personal story of how his journey into Islamic scholarship began, and what inspired his mission to shed light on the rich, global legacy of Black-Muslim communities—from West Africa to the Americas. He opens up about how his own identity has shaped his scholarship and activism, and how he navigates the tension between Western academia and traditional Islamic knowledge systems. We dive into his latest book, ‘Islam and the Making of the Modern World', discussing the key takeaways he hopes readers will walk away with, particularly around Islam's impact on science, philosophy, and global civilisation. Mustafa reflects on the power of storytelling as a tool for education and transformation, and why he believes it's essential for reaching younger generations of Muslims seeking to reclaim a sense of pride in their heritage. We also unpack deeper philosophical questions on whether or not suffering is necessary for growth in today's world. Finally, we touch on the marginalization of Black-Muslims in Islamic history, the steps needed to reframe that narrative, and the unifying spiritual threads that connect diverse communities around the globe. With insights both intimate and intellectual, this episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience, beauty, and global significance of Black-Muslim contributions to our shared story. Mustafa BriggsInstagram https://bit.ly/4j7gRfLByond Bilal on Amazon https://bit.ly/4jYblgO Presented By KAFDApp https://apple.co/4e9BdU0Website https://bit.ly/3YktQUIInstagram https://bit.ly/3YFpWGnX https://bit.ly/3LMJOziLinkedIn https://bit.ly/3A0b2QJSaudiaWebsite https://bit.ly/495n6fBInstagram https://bit.ly/3UgTTdAX https://bit.ly/4beIQY8 Whoophttps://join.whoop.com/gb/en/moshow/ NoonInstagram https://bit.ly/3XRScUYWebsite https://bit.ly/44lnA1SWhoophttps://join.whoop.com/gb/en/moshow/ Pizza Hut JeddahInstagram https://bit.ly/3T87mjtWebsite http://bit.ly/3UtnkWq Tim Hortons Instagram https://bit.ly/3UQDk6uX http://bit.ly/3AgbAPiWebsite http://bit.ly/3LgUresIWCInstagram https://bit.ly/44dxbFWWebsite https://bit.ly/43K8JMk CreditsMustafa Briggs | GuestMo Islam | Host & FounderRyan Ismail | COOFaisal Nejaim | Show ManagerGregoris Kalai | Head of StrategyTito | Creative DirectorYoussef Hamieh | Production ManagerPowered by "STUCK?" | Translation

In April, we asked VOM Radio listeners to to Christians living in restricted nations and hostile areas. This week, Ty Scott, VOM's Regional Leader for East and Southern Africa, tells us about the work and effort involved in actually placing Bibles into the hands of Christians living in cities and villages in Sudan, Tanzania, or the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Statistically, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Tanzania are majority-Christian nations. Yet each has communities where almost every person is a Muslim. How is the gospel spreading in such places? And how are new followers of Christ treated by their families and the wider Islamic community? Ty will share about family persecution in Comoros, a country we've never discussed on VOM Radio, where Christians comprise only tenths of a percent of the population. Listen as Ty and VOM Radio Host, Todd Nettleton, discuss places where ethnic identity and Islam are completely intertwined. As gospel workers share the hope of Christ in those places, they don't ask people to leave their ethnicity but to fulfill what God would have them be. Hear the amazing testimony of a young man who brought his father, an imam (Islamic prayer leader), to faith in Christ, and how the gospel brought many into Christ's kingdom through his father's witness. Ty will also share specific ways you can pray for Christians in eastern and southern Africa.

Not everything attributed to the Prophet ﷺ is authentic — and the responsibility of distinguishing truth from error fell upon the scholars of hadith. In this first session of the explanation of Nukhbat al-Fikr, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble introduces the principles that underpin the science of hadith. You'll begin to see how narrations were assessed, why precision mattered, and how the early scholars approached the words of the Prophet ﷺ with both reverence and rigour. What to expect in this session: - The difference between primary and supporting Islamic sciences—and where hadith fits in - Why the Sahabah رضي الله عنهم exercised caution in narration, despite being eyewitnesses to the revelations - How scholars judged narrators and filtered weak reports from reliable ones - What makes a hadith Sahih, Hasan, or Da'if—and why these aren't casual labels - The roots of hadith verification long before books were even compiled This session lays the groundwork for a science that shaped Islamic scholarship—and preserved the Sunnah for generations to come.

In May 2025, a video went out showing young Britishschoolchildren being prompted to prostrate themselves and pray Islamic prayers. This “instruction” is unfolding across the United Kingdom—and often. These lessons occur every week during assigned terms. Most parents – and most Christians – have no clue any of this is taking place.And when people do discover all of this, they recognize itfor what it is: indoctrination. How is it that in a historical Christian country, children are being conditioned in Islam? Mark Heath joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to alerteveryone to what is going on. As a British Christian and parent, Mark was shocked to learn that these “lessons” were being taught in the local school. He spoke up, and others must speak up as well. Even Christians in other westernnations need to be aware of this practice, and intentionally engage their school systems to find out what is going on.

The Texture of Change: Dress, Self-Fashioning, and History in Western Africa, 1700 – 1850 (Ohio UP, 2024) examines historical change across a broad region of western Africa—from Saint Louis, Senegal, to Freetown, Sierra Leone—through the development of textile commerce, consumption, and dress. Indigo-dyed and printed cotton, wool, linen, and silk cloths constituted major trade items that linked African producers and consumers to exchange networks that were both regional and global. While much of the historiography of commerce in Africa in the eighteenth century has focused on the Atlantic slave trade and its impact, this study follows the global cloth trade to account for the broad extent and multiple modes of western Africa's engagement with Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Jody Benjamin analyzes a range of archival, visual, oral, and material sources drawn from three continents to illuminate entanglements between local textile industries and global commerce and between the politics of Islamic reform and encroaching European colonial power. The study highlights the roles of a diverse range of historical actors mentioned only glancingly in core-periphery or Atlantic-centered framings: women indigo dyers, maroon cotton farmers, petty traveling merchants, caravan guides, and African Diaspora settlers. It argues that their combined choices within a set of ecological, political, and economic constraints structured networks connecting the Atlantic and Indian Ocean perimeters. Jody Benjamin is a social and cultural historian of western Africa with expertise in the period between 1650 and 1850. His research is informed by a methodological concern to center the diverse experiences and perspectives of Africans in ways that transcend the limitations of the colonial archive. In broad terms, Prof. Benjamin's scholarship interrogates the multiple connections between west African, African diaspora and global histories through the lens of material culture, technology, labor, gender and race to reshape how historians think about western Africa's role in the history of global capitalism and its connections to contemporary questions of global inequality. Dr. Benjamin's work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the University of California Regents, University of California Humanities Research Initiative (UCHRI), the Hellman Fellows Fund, and the John Carter Brown Library at Brown University. From 2022-2023, he was the Principal Investigator for a Mellon Sawyer Seminar, “Unarchiving Blackness,” exploring archival practices in African and African Diaspora Studies. Prior to Howard University, Dr. Benjamin taught at the University of California, Riverside. You can learn more about his work here.

Savage warns about the threat of Islamofascism, praising Governor Abbott for halting an Islamic city in Texas. He shares skepticism about U.S. arms deals with Saudi Arabia. Drawing from his book, 'Liberalism is a Mental Disorder,' he exposes radical Islam as a political threat rather than a peaceful religion. He advises U.S. leaders to be cautious in their dealings with radical Islamic states. Then, Savage contrasts the historical contributions of Arab civilization to world knowledge with the current militant Islam that is incompatible with Western values. He highlights the significant contributions of ancient and historical Arabia. Savage blames ignorance and the breakdown of education for the rise of modern radical Islam.

It's Friday, May 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims kill 2 Christian teachers Boko Haram Muslim terrorists recently targeted Christians traveling near a Nigerian army base along the deadly Damboa–Maiduguri highway, reports International Christian Concern. On May 12th, two Christian teachers were killed and several others were injured when their vehicle struck an improvised explosive device allegedly planted by the Islamic terror group. Blessing Luka and Gideon Bitterleaf were both devoted Christian educators with the Damboa Local Education Authority. Pray that these Muslim murderers will be held accountable. Genesis 9:6 says, "Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind." More children in United Kingdom have gender dysphoria Soaring numbers of children in England and Wales are waiting for specialist gender care from the National Health Service -- as youngsters of any age are now eligible for referral after the health service “caved to the pressure” of transgender activists to remove age limits, reports The Daily Mail and World Magazine. Average waiting times have grown to more than two years for a confused child to get a first appointment at a specialist health service clinic, with 157 of those aged under ten. There were 6,225 confused kids on the national waiting list at the end of March. That's up 12 per cent from the same point a year earlier. Young children believed to have gender dysphoria are generally given counselling and therapy with their family, but thankfully no longer prescribed hormone treatments.  Indeed, Britain's National Health Service has moved away from a “medical model” in favor of a “holistic” approach to children's gender care, as per recommendations from the Cass Review. Puberty blockers are no longer prescribed to children for the treatment of gender dysphoria, after a ban last year was made permanent in December. Former FBI Director calls for Trump's assassination Former FBI Director James Comey is facing massive backlash after he posted a photo on his Instagram page calling for the assassination of President Donald Trump, reports Christian Talk show host Todd Starnes. An image of seashells that had been arranged on the beach to spell “86 47” was posted on Comey's personal Instagram account. The number “86” is code for killing someone. And, of course, “47” refers to the fact that Donald Trump is the 47th president of the United States. Comey wrote, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem tweeted, “Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey just called for the assassination of President Trump. [the Department of Homeland Security] and Secret Service is investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.” And Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama tweeted, “This is a direct THREAT against President Trump, who has already survived two assassination attempts. BEYOND despicable. James Comey MUST face consequences.” RFK Jr. agrees to examine the dangers of Abortion Kill Pill A recent study by the Ethics and Public Policy Center on the Abortion Kill Pill, mifepristone, showed that 11% of women experience adverse effects serious enough to send them to the Emergency Room. That's 22 times higher than what the Food and Drug Administration claims.   Appearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on May 15th, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. agreed to a comprehensive review and relabeling of Mifepristone in response to a pointed question from Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, reports The Guardian. Listen. HAWLEY: “There's been a major study by the Ethics and Public Policy Center of 865,727 prescribed cases of mifepristone abortions, chemical abortions, between 2017 and 2023. This data shows the biggest study on mifepristone done, I think, ever, and it showed that nearly 11% of women experience very serious adverse health effects to include sepsis, hemorrhaging, infection, of course, emergency room visits. That rate is 22 times higher than the FDA's current label which says it's just 0.5 the incidence of serious adverse health events. “So, my question to you is this: You previously testified at the committee that you would do a top-to-bottom review of mifepristone. Do you continue to stand by that? And don't you think that this new data shows the need to do a review is, in fact, very pressing?” KENNEDY: “It's alarming, and clearly it indicates that, at very least, the label should be changed. I've asked Marty Makary, who's the director of FDA, to do a complete review and to report back.” HAWLEY: “Good!” South Carolina Supreme Court affirms Heartbeat Law The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that the state may enforce its heartbeat-based abortion ban, rejecting an argument by Planned Parenthood to weaken the law, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Enacted in 2023, the law effectively bans most abortions after about six weeks gestation. South Carolina Republican Governor Henry McMaster told the Daily Wire, “Time and time again, we have defended the right to life in South Carolina, and time and time again, we have prevailed. Today's ruling is another clear and decisive victory that will ensure the lives of countless unborn children remain protected and that South Carolina continues to lead the charge in defending the sanctity of life.” Psalm 127:3 says, "Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward." Christian band under fire by atheists and superintendent And finally, a popular Christian band is under fire from atheists along with Davidson County Schools in North Carolina, reports Blue Ridge Broadcasting. The 3 Heath Brothers band had been invited to host an anti-bullying event at Hasty Elementary School. Their performance included a number of songs that mentioned God. Afterwards, they gave the kids a devotional pamphlet that included Bible verses. The Freedom From Religion Foundation was enraged over the performance and accused the school of being a recruiting ground for Christianity. The God-hating attorney, Madeline Ziegler, wrote, “The district cannot allow non-school persons to treat schools as a recruiting ground for their religious mission.  Public schools are not an appropriate place for outside adults to convince students to convert to Christianity.” Sadly, the School Superintendent Gregg Slate was just as horrified with the Christian band and wrote a lengthy letter of apology to the atheists. But then, the school district went a step further. They had the audacity to demand that the 3 Heath Brothers remove video of the event from their social media pages. A bizarre request indeed. School officials claim they were duped. But Nicholas Heath of the 3 Heath Brothers denied that there was any proselytizing or worship service at the event.

Mary takes on the latest "marking" technology by taking a road trip into the late 1990s and early '00s,  looking at the history of implanted tech - and why 1999 chip rumours of mass implantations are obsolete. Remember when tattoos were back-alley statements? It wasn't that long ago that they were frowned upon for "decent moral people". But things have changed in the land of all things "cool", and now smart tattoos are nearly here. We also look at the latest updates regarding Islam's growth in Texas, and who is finally getting involved. With the story of Islamic communities springing up hitting the mainstream, it looks like it has the attention of state and federal authorities finally. Then we look at the rumour mill swirling about Israel, suggesting that the POTUS is no longer tight with our only real Mideast ally. The "art of the deal" - that's what Trump does best, and it's not a lazy summer game of checkers - it's chess, and it's sophisticated. Lots to talk about on this edition of Stand Up for the Truth.

Usama Dakdok is the founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He is the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. Born and raised in Egypt, Usama learned about Islam just as every other student does in a Muslim country. He also studied for a university degree in Egypt which included the study of Sharia, which is Islamic law. He first came to America in 1992.President Donald Trump is in the Middle East working out numerous agreements. Some of the actions he's taken are concerning to a number of individuals. This includes the lifting of sanctions against Syria, the signing of a $142 billion dollar arms deal with Saudi Arabia, a $1.2 trillion dollar economic commitment with Qatar and the offered gift from Qatar to provide a jumbo jet to serve as Air Force One.Meanwhile, this morning the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on nationwide injunctions including the injunction on ending what is known as "birthright citizenship." It's a move that the Council on American Islamic Relations calls, "dangerous and unconstitutional." The issue of birthright citizenship and its implications for Islam in the U.S. is just the beginning as Usama also turned his attention to the Abraham Accords, the EU providing 11 million dollars to highlight the contributions of the Qur'an and Islam to European civilization, a Canadian Islamic scholar who praised children who die for Islam (Jim provided audio), the latest concerning the exclusive Islamic city taking shape near Dallas and special news for listeners in Pennsylvania and Florida.

It's Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is at Georgia Tech where he talks with students about their religious beliefs. These discussions highlight the key differences and similarities between Islam, Judaism, Catholicism, and Christianity, emphasizing concepts such as righteousness, forgiveness, and the afterlife. Segment 1: • Muslim student believes Islam is a fair and righteous path but admits she's not currently fit for heaven. • Student says righteousness comes by trying your best—not perfection—and hopes God will judge mercifully. • Student learns Christianity offers assurance of heaven not by works but through Jesus' righteousness. Segment 2: • Student explains Islamic modesty as empowering but admits she can't know if she'll go to heaven. • Students husband, Amil, describes a works-based salvation—good deeds must outweigh bad, but no one is certain. • Both contrast with Christianity, which offers forgiveness based on Jesus paying the penalty in full. Segment 3: • Jewish student says he's “not bad enough” for hell but admits to breaking several commandments. • Student learns how the Old Testament sacrificial system points to Jesus as the ultimate Lamb of God. • Student is encouraged to repent and trust Christ alone for complete forgiveness—not by works. Segment 4: • Catholic student admits he's broken God's laws but trusts confession and penance to make up for sins. • Student struggles with the idea that Jesus paid the full penalty, insisting on earning forgiveness. • Student learns true salvation comes not by effort or priests, but by grace through faith in Christ alone. – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!

LaMonica McIver verbally and physically assaulting federal agents in New Jersey after illegally entering an ICE detention facility.Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver (in the red jacket) is literally throwing punches at ICE officers outside a holding facility. INSURRECTION?McIver: Not only was I assaulted but Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman and Rep.

Bob Menendez is sorely mistakenTwo Muslims in Michigan discuss their plans for a development of several hundred houses, with plans to keep non-Muslims out by routing almost all HOA fees to a mosque. They talk about naming streets after famous Islamic conquerors. The even discuss the name "Andalusia" — a reference to Al-Andalus, the name for Spain when it was ruled by Muslims a thousand years agoDaniel Fitzgerald, a State Department Official responsible for allocating U.S. foreign aid and bribes across the Western Hemisphere: CONFIRMS Democrats are now officially the MS-13 Party. Despite USAID pouring over $4 billion into programs over four years, the ‘Great Replacement Theory' is real — the deliberate importation and protection of MS-13 is intended to destroy America as we know it,POTUS: "Borders are not racist, speech is not violence, America is good, terrorists are bad, men can never become women, police are not criminals, and criminals are not victims." I can't tell you how comforting it is to hear this level of common sense from the WH again.
