This is a really nice discussion. Goes over many of the main controversies over it and the Shaykh provides satisfactory responses. I would highly recommend it. https://youtu.be/dbu4FlhIAZ0?is=JF433nIcsM6eDvJh

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

It is stated in al-Ādāb al-Sharʿiyyah (1/257) by Ibn Mufliḥ: Al-Marrudhi said: I asked Abū ʿAbd Allāh [Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal] about a group of people of innovation who accost others and declare them disbelievers. He said: ‘Do not confront them.’ I said: ‘What is it that you dislike about their being imprisoned?’ He said: ‘They have mothers and sisters.’ I said: ‘But they have imprisoned a man and wronged him, and the…
A translation of Shaykh Hatem al-'Awni's short booklet on the topic of dealing with innovators. He advocates for a balanced position on the topic and uses numerous examples, both theoretical and practical, from scholarly history to build his case. I believe there is too much black and white in some circles regarding it. For the sake of brevity and time, the author’s footnotes and references were not included. Those …
"Justice means restoring people’s rights, obtaining redress for the oppressed and supporting them, restraining the oppressor, and deterring him—but without exceeding the bounds of justice." -Shaykh Hatem al-'Awni

When I was learning Arabic and working to improve my reading comprehension, I dreaded having to look up words while reading. Each interruption broke my concentration and disrupted my flow, which I found incredibly frustrating. I used to wish someone could just sit beside me and tell me the word I was stuck on, so I could keep moving through the text. I know some people enjoy the process of looking up words themselves…
"And among men there is one who worships Allah on the verge (ḥarf ): so if some good thing happens to him, he is satisfied with it, and if a trial befalls him, he turns his face back. He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the manifest loss." [Qur'an 22:11] What is meant by ḥarf here is the aspect upon which worship occurs. He, exalted is His praise, is saying: among people is one who worships Allah on …
When Ahmad ibn Hanbal was imprisoned, the jailer came to him and asked, "O Abu Abdullah, is the hadith narrated regarding oppressors and their aides authentic?" He replied, "Yes." The jailer then asked, "Am I, then, one of the oppressors' aides?" Ahmad answered, "The aides of oppressors are those who trim your hair, wash your clothes, prepare your food, and buy from or sell to you; as for you, you are one of them.…
🏔️ One Mountain, Many Paths? You've heard it a hundred times: "We're all climbing the same mountain." "All religions are basically saying the same thing." "Claiming your religion is the truth is arrogant." It sounds humble, kind, and it feels like the mature, tolerant position. But on close scrutiny, what you find isn't tolerance. It's a machine that quietly dismantles far more than it admits. Islam already holds…
A summarized AI translation of both Razi and Qurtubi's tafsirs is now loaded into the app. https://tafsir.deenapps.com/index.php?chapter=1&verse=1&trans=usmani&tafsir_type=al-razi#viewer
If you find it difficult to implement or too technical. Just copy and paste the whole thing in any AI and tell it to walk you through it step by step. Ask questions along the way to the AI if you don't understand some instruction(s). I know some non-tech people that were able to implement the tafsir AI tool I built using that method.
I’ve built another Telegram research bot tool for exploring fiqh and usul al-fiqh across the four Sunni schools using the Turath (Shamela) library. This tool helps you: -Search Hanbali, Hanafi, Maliki, and Shafi‘i sources individually -Compare multiple madhhabs in one query -Search preferred texts first for each school, you can define them by their IDs in the .env file without touching the python code -Search wi…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @rameezabid. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 665,449 of 1,183,361entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
