WFH (work from haram)

Aafia Siddiqui’s story isn’t just heartbreaking—it’s a mirror to the injustices faced by Muslims globally. A mother. A scientist. A devout Muslim. Today, she’s locked away in a U.S. prison, serving an 86-year sentence. Here’s the story they don’t want you to know: 🧵

They sell chicken and chips. No Michelin stars. No gourmet menus. Yet they’ve built a $7 billion fast food empire with trade rights in 80 countries. This is the story of Al Baik—and the overlooked philosophy that powers its success. 🧵

meet siblings abdurrahman (15) and saabiq (16) today from fajr they raced to complete a full khatm from memory and guess what? they finished just 2 seconds apart from each other at 4:30pm after a long day’s work their father beaming with pride brought them to simply smashed where they redeemed their free meal as part of our road to ramadan campaign they’ll be leading Taraweeh together at their local mosque in Barking this Ramadan truth is we don’t appreciate our huffadh enough i hope this little gesture makes them feel appreciated and feel the support of our community that’s what it’s all about

why we're closing our restaurant for the first week of ramadan... and why it'll cost us 30% of our monthly revenue: most restaurants are rushing to capitalise on iftar sales right now. we're doing the opposite. been running simply smashed for years now and every ramadan we notice something about iftar service. it's brutal on the team. imagine 50+ concurrent orders hitting all at once, everyone wants to break their fast at maghrib, and our whole menu is made fresh to order. our team are mostly muslim. they're fasting all day then working through the most intense service period. that's why we close the first week of ramadan. gives the team time to: • reset mentally • connect with family • establish their spiritual routine but closing the first week is just the start. throughout ramadan, we only open an hour before iftar. no daytime operations. no lunch service. no pressure on fasting staff to be around food all day. these decisions cost us about 20-30% of our monthly revenue. but business decisions shouldn't just be about profit. i've worked through many ramadans in restaurants before starting simply smashed. know how it feels to be making burgers while your mouth is dry and your head is pounding. that's why we built these accommodations into our business model. we're playing the long game. maybe we don't maximise short-term profits. but we maximise barakah. and that's what we're really building on. some will say it's bad business. i say it's good business, just on a longer timeline.

Chaiwalla Walthamstow tonight

i’ve seen married people on 20-30k salaries do Hajj in the first 3 years of their career i’ve also seen people on 6 figure salaries 5+ years into their career make excuses that it’s too difficult there’s a discussion to be had on rising prices but Allah invites whom He wills

I’ve seen working class Muslims go Hajj before middle class Muslims while earning less than half of what these middle class Muslims earn yet most of the conversations on rising prices of Hajj I’ve seen are from middle class Muslims who have it lower on their priority

Thing about Muslims is, despite the millions of pounds fuelled into stirring up hatred against them One person will come along and just do the right thing not because of PR, but because they feel like it was the right thing to do How do you win against that?

idea thats been floating around my head recently a halal greggs would be really cool, one that pays homage to british foods, halal sausage rolls, steak and ale pies without the ale, we can even have an ethnic twist like like chicken tikka masala pasties etc
