You don’t have to defend a murderer to question why the government wants the world to watch him die.

The victims of Fort Hood deserved to live. Their families deserve justice. But questioning a public execution isn’t disrespecting them.

My concern is what happens beyond that screen. When Muslim names become punchlines and our faith is treated as a threat, a spectacle like this risks feeding hostility toward people who had nothing to do with his crime.

Hasan must answer for what he did. Your Muslim neighbour does not.

A fair government doesn’t punish its people for criticising it.

Pakistanis should be able to question those in power without fearing arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance or retaliation for peaceful dissent.

This goes beyond Imran Khan or PTI. It concerns journalists, activists, families searching for missing loved ones, and anyone who wants their government to answer for its actions.

Khan isn’t beyond criticism. But he still deserves a fair trial and due process. Defending that right doesn’t require agreeing with his politics.

Pakistan deserves a government that protects its people’s rights. Holding office should mean answering to the public, not having the power to silence them. by @fitrahshift

They spent their careers standing beside people the powerful wanted forgotten. Now they sit behind bars themselves.

Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattha were sentenced to 17 years. After nearly eight months in prison, the Supreme Court suspended their sentences and granted them bail only for another case to appear within hours and send them straight back to jail.

A nation does not lose its soul all at once. It loses it each time we witness injustice and decide that silence is safer.

You do not have to agree with everything they have ever said. But justice that only protects people we agree with is not justice.

The powerful may evade accountability here. But they will not live forever—and no one escapes the justice of Allah. by @fitrahshift

Pakistan doesn’t suffer from a lack of religious language. It suffers from the distance between what we preach and what we tolerate.

When corruption becomes normal, abuse carries no consequences, and religious leaders remain silent before power, people eventually stop believing that doing the right thing matters.

Exposing corruption isn’t an attack on Pakistan. Confronting religious hypocrisy isn’t an attack on Islam. Sometimes, criticism is an act of love—and the first step toward restoring hope. by @fitrahshift

Before you buy your next coin, take 3 minutes to understand why Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani—and many other contemporary Islamic scholars—have serious reservations about cryptocurrency.

When citizenship becomes conditional, democracy becomes majoritarian rule wearing the mask of freedom.

In India today, anti-Muslim rhetoric is not just random prejudice — it is part of a political worldview that has been built and normalized for nearly a century through Hindutva, the RSS, and the wider Sangh Parivar ecosystem.

When Muslims are constantly framed as “foreign,” “anti-national,” or “infiltrators,” their belonging becomes something they are forced to prove again and again.

The question is: if this path continues, what will life look like for Muslims in India 10 or 20 years from now?

This is not about attacking Hindus or Hinduism.
It is about criticizing political supremacy, fear-based nationalism, and the dehumanization of minorities.

I set out to make a simple video:

“What is it like being a Christian in Pakistan?”

I spent hours trying to interview a priest in Islamabad. Almost everyone said no.

Pakistan is home to roughly 3 million Christians, many of whose families have lived here for generations. Yet despite being part of our nation’s history, their voices are rarely heard directly.

After visiting church after church, I managed to get just one street interview with a local Christian Pakistani about his experience living here.

This video isn’t about pushing an agenda. It’s about listening.

Because whether we agree on matters of faith or not, how we treat our neighbors says a lot about who we are as a nation. taken in Islamabad, Pakistan by @fitrahshift

Pakistan doesn’t have a talent problem.

It has an opportunity problem.

When quality education becomes harder to access, everyone loses.

The next person capable of changing this country may already be here.

Will we give them the chance?

The youth are not asking for perfection.

They’re asking for authenticity.

Many aren’t rejecting Islam.
They’re rejecting the hypocrisy, corruption, and contradictions they’ve been told represent it.

The solution isn’t to point fingers at a generation.

It’s to become better examples.

If we want the next generation to love Islam, we must embody it ourselves.

Pakistan’s future won’t be changed by slogans.

It will be changed by character.

What do you think is the biggest reason young people are drifting away from the deen?

A society cannot spend decades failing its women and then act surprised when some begin questioning the people claiming to represent religion.

If we want women to trust Islamic values, then Muslim men have to embody them first.

I spent the day talking to local farmers.

The story was always the same: diesel costs more, electricity costs more, fertilizer costs more.

At the same time, Pakistan imported millions of tonnes of cheaper wheat.

The question isn’t whether imports can save money today.

The question is what happens tomorrow if local farmers can no longer afford to grow food.

Food security isn’t just about the price of wheat.

It’s about whether a nation can still feed itself when times get hard.
