19 posts held, back to 28 June 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
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.
XY Problem What is it? The XY problem is asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem. This leads to enormous amounts of wasted time and energy, both on the part of people asking for help, and on the part of those providing help. * User wants to do X. * User doesn't know how to do X, but thinks they can fumble their way to a solution if they can just manage to do Y. * User doesn't know how …
I also advise you to take advice and knowledge from people of knowledge, not beginners sharing quotes and snippets of them. This is your personal life. Just like you don't treat yourself based on online medical articles, but instead ask an actual doctor about your specific case. I highly suspect this stems from false information. You might be able to hear that the sheikh is weirded out by the question and describe…
From time to time we see another mutation of this question. I could only guess there is systematic failure making people put themselves in these situations. I'm craving a rant, because this is not good at all, but, here is a suggestion: You're suffering from what's called the XY problem. You keep assuming a solution, and asking sheikhs why that solution is not working. You should instead ask them about your prob…
Summary: Question: The suitor is far, can we use tasweer since he wants to see the sister before he travels to her? Answer: No.
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته. هل تنصحون الأخوات بالتواصل مع الإخوة الملتزمين بالشريعة عبر التطبيقات؟ أحيانًا يكون الإخوة في الخارج يدرسون الإسلام، وتكون الأخوات في بلدانٍ بعيدة. فإذا تواصلوا عبر هذه التطبيقات، فكيف تنصحون الأخوات بشأن الرؤية الشرعية؟ هل يرسلن صورةً، أو يظهرن بوجوههن للإخوة في مكالمةٍ مرئية بوجود وليهن؟ أم ينتظرن حتى يتمكن الإخوة من زيارة بلدانهن؟ وماذا إذا اشترط الأخ النظر إليها اولاً لأنه في بلدٍ…
Summary of the Answer to Question 11: Question: What is the ruling on attending a family member’s wedding when there will be photography and video recording? Should I avoid attending in order to preserve family ties? The issue is not that you may appear in a photograph or video. Rather, the munkar is the act of producing images and videos of animate beings, and this is the wrongdoing that you are witnessing. {وَٱل…
Part 2: Protect Your Time Against the Illusion of Virtue السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته We have to be incredibly careful not to fall into the trap of endless debating. It is so easy to find yourself active in a gazillion groups (WhatsApp, Telegram, and social media) completely convinced that spending hours typing back and forth is daʿwah or defending the Sunnah. But we need to check our intentions, because this i…
Part 1 — The Cord and the Boundary: Knowing Your Audience in Taṣwīr Discourse السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته My advice to myself and to my brothers who are convinced of the impermissibility of taṣwīr is simple: let go and move on from this issue. You seek knowledge to benefit yourself, those around you, and those who ask you. You yourself have benefited, al-ḥamdu lillāh. But those around you? Maybe not. Should y…
I'll Just Follow Ibn Bāz and Use Taṣwīr For Daʿwah Zayd: I'll just follow Ibn Bāz and use taṣwīr for daʿwah. Thinking about it, it only makes sense. Islām is not strict, and this opinion of saying photography is impermissible in all cases is so extreme—it doesn't work well practically. Bakr: But that's ḥarām. You can't use ḥarām for daʿwah; that defeats the purpose... Zayd: Look, akhī, Allāh told us to ask the peo…
Note: We do look for reconciliation between the statements and actions of the people of knowledge, as they often have a reason that we mistake as a contradiction. The books of scholars are full of this, and they're the ones who gather all pieces of the puzzle. The difference between the Prophet ﷺ and them is that there is a chance they are mistaken, but, we don't rush to that conclusion, as that's not from respectin…
A questioner asks concerning the view of Shaykh Al-Fawzān on taṣwīr. How can we reconcile between his action and his fatwa? Answer: As for that which is maʿrūf (known) the Shaykh حفظه الله makes picture-making ḥarām and he speaks very severely about this. He refutes those that make pictures, and he refutes those that make picture-making permissible in many different audios and many different books. This is found a…
Question: Can I share videos after blurring the heads? Answer: Allāh has not made it so difficult to find clean materials. Why would you put yourself in such position? But let's assume you somehow can only find a tainted source: In that case, you could easily use an online converter, just google: "video to audio online". Here's a suggestion: https://www.freeconvert.com/convert/video-to-mp3 You can also use PipeP…
Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @sourgeOfPhotography. 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 — 1,321,648 of 1,478,351entries 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.
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.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
@sourgeOfPhotography named 1 handle that resolve to nothing today. That is a fact about the reference, not necessarily a fact about the handle’s history — see the two groups below.
Most of these may never have existed as a live channel at all.A handle a channel names can be a typo, an aspirational name nobody registered, or a channel that was already gone before this one ever mentioned it. Unless a row below is marked evidenced, all we know is that it references a handle that is not a live channel today — not that anything “died”. How this is measured.
References a handle that is not a live channel — we have no record it ever was one.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 15 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
