\r\n\r\nMUSCAT, Oman (MNTV) - Oman announced the postponement of a regional meeting scheduled for Monday in its southern city of Salalah to discuss arrangements for a new maritime route through the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nThe Omani Foreign Ministry said late Sunday that the meeting had been postponed to a later date \"to help create appropriate conditions for constructive dialogue.\"\r\n\r\nIt said the decision was taken out of a desire to create conditions for talks that can lead to sustainable understandings supporting regional security and stability and meeting the aspirations of the region\u2019s peoples for cooperation and peace.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn the interests of consensus, the regional meeting set for tomorrow in Salalah has been postponed,\u201d Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi wrote on the US social media platform X.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe remain committed to fostering dialogue that supports stability and lasting cooperation in our region,\u201d he added.\r\n\r\nAlbusaidi accompanied his post with the flags of Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, indicating the countries that had been expected to take part.\r\n\r\nHe did not announce a new date for the meeting or elaborate on the reason for its postponement.\r\n\r\nThe postponement came a day after Bahrain rejected participation in a proposed regional ministerial meeting involving Iran.\r\n\r\nThe Bahraini Foreign Ministry said Saturday that Manama will not participate in any collective ministerial meeting with Iran before diplomatic relations between the two countries were restored.\r\n\r\nThe statement came in response to reports about a proposed ministerial meeting on developments in the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nIranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Friday that Tehran would organize the meeting, hosted by Oman, at the foreign minister level and with the participation of eight countries bordering the Gulf.\r\n\r\nIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi earlier Sunday told the London-based Arabic-language news outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that \u201cthe main, and indeed the only, agenda of this meeting is the new maritime route in the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d\r\n\r\nHe said Iran and Oman had finalized an agreement setting out the new route, along with maps and a joint statement detailing the arrangements.\r\n\r\nHe stressed that the agreement with Oman \u201cby no means\u201d signifies the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nBahrain is among Gulf states that have been targeted by Iran during its confrontation with the US.\r\n\r\nTehran has previously targeted sites it said were linked to US forces in Bahrain, including Isa Air Base, in retaliation for US strikes against Iranian targets.\r\n\r\n\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bThe US and Israel launched attacks on Iran in February, prompting Tehran to retaliate against Israel and US military targets across the region.\r\n\r\nThe US and Iran signed the Islamabad Memorandum in June with Pakistani and Qatari mediation, but its implementation later stalled amid disagreements over the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nThe US resumed military attacks on Iran in August, with Tehran responding by striking US military assets in several Arab countries aligned with Washington.\r\n\r\n<\/div>","post_title":"Oman postpones regional meeting on new Strait of Hormuz maritime route","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"oman-postpones-regional-meeting-on-new-strait-of-hormuz-maritime-route","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-09-14 05:27:15","post_modified_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:27:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=71441","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":71424,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2026-09-14 05:16:48","post_date_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:16:48","post_content":"

\r\n\r\nISTANBUL (MNTV) - Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim urged Muslim scholars and communities to keep pace with artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies, warning that falling behind could leave them vulnerable to outside influence.\r\n\r\n\u201cWithout knowledge, we will fail.

NEW DELHI, India (MNTV) \u2014\u00a0A Hindu nationalist student organization in India has demanded that a leading law university cancel a documentary about Muslim student activist Umar Khalid, as supporters mark six years since he was jailed under a sweeping anti-terrorism law without his trial beginning.<\/p>\r\n

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has asked the National Law School of India University in Bengaluru to stop Monday's planned screening of filmmaker Lalit Vachani's Prisoner No. 626710 is Present. The screening is being organized by a student group in solidarity with Khalid on the anniversary of his arrest.<\/p>\r\n

ABVP is the student organization affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Hindu supremacist ideological movement that spawned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and remains deeply influential in India's Hindu nationalist politics.<\/p>\r\n

Khalid, a former student leader at New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University, was arrested on Sept. 14, 2020, and accused of involvement in a conspiracy behind deadly communal violence in the Indian capital earlier that year.<\/p>\r\n

He has remained imprisoned ever since under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), an anti-terrorism law that makes obtaining bail exceptionally difficult. Khalid denies the allegations against him and has not been convicted of any crime.<\/p>\r\n

His prolonged imprisonment has become an international symbol of concerns over India's use of anti-terror legislation against government critics and Muslim activists, particularly those involved in protests against a controversial citizenship law introduced by Modi's Hindu nationalist government.<\/p>\r\n

The Bengaluru screening was scheduled a day after Political Prisoners' Day, observed by rights activists in India on Sept. 13, and forms part of a series of gatherings marking Khalid's six years in custody.<\/p>\r\n

ABVP Bengaluru Secretary Abhinandan Mirji said the organization had formally complained to the university and demanded cancellation, arguing that campuses should promote \u201cnational integrity and learning\u201d rather than become platforms for political propaganda or what it described as glorification of civil unrest.<\/p>\r\n

A lawyer, Girish Bharadwaj, separately wrote to university Vice Chancellor Sudhir Krishnaswamy seeking cancellation of the screening.<\/p>\r\n

The effort follows another controversy involving Khalid at Jawaharlal Nehru University, where administrators last month withdrew permission for a venue scheduled to host a discussion of his book, Fractured Communities: Adivasi Histories and the Politics of Power.<\/p>\r\n

Khalid's father, Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, accused ABVP of taking an authoritarian approach toward a man who has never been convicted.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cUntil a court convicts a person, they are considered innocent in the eyes of the law,\u201d Ilyas said.<\/p>\r\n

Khalid was among activists prosecuted following protests against India's Citizenship Amendment Act, or CAA, which fast-tracks citizenship for migrants belonging to several religions from neighboring countries but excludes Muslims.<\/p>\r\n

Critics have long argued that combining the law with citizenship-verification exercises could disproportionately threaten Muslims' status in India.<\/p>\r\n

Ilyas said activists who participated in the anti-CAA movement were subsequently implicated in the Delhi violence and questioned why his son remained behind bars after six years without trial.<\/p>\r\n

The dispute over the documentary has therefore extended the controversy surrounding Khalid beyond his imprisonment, raising questions over whether even campus discussions about one of India's most prominent jailed Muslim activists can take place without pressure from organizations aligned with the country's dominant Hindu nationalist movement.<\/p>","post_title":"Hindutva student group seeks ban on film about jailed Indian Muslim activist","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hindutva-student-group-seeks-ban-on-film-about-jailed-indian-muslim-activist","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-09-14 05:07:20","post_modified_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:07:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=71436","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":71419,"post_author":"25","post_date":"2026-09-11 23:34:02","post_date_gmt":"2026-09-11 23:34:02","post_content":"Over <\/span>two million students across Ontario <\/b>returned to school on September 8, <\/span>encountering a range of changes<\/b> both inside and outside their classrooms. Here are some of the key updates:<\/span>\r\n\r\nStandardized Testing<\/b>\r\n\r\nHigh school students will experience significant changes to standardized testing. The province has implemented uniform assessment standards for all students, regardless of the school or board they attend. This means that <\/span>most secondary courses will now require a written exam<\/b> to contribute to the final course mark. For students in <\/span>Grades 9 and 10<\/b>, this exam will account for <\/span>20%<\/b> of their grade, while for <\/span>Grades 11 and 12<\/b>, it will make up <\/span>25%<\/b>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAbsenteeism and Participation<\/b>\r\n\r\nAttendance and participation will now impact final grades: <\/span>15% in Grades 9 and 10<\/b>, and <\/span>10% in Grades 11 and 12<\/b>. Students with excused absences will not be penalized. The new assessment criteria categorize students based on their level of engagement and attendance.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor instance, a \"<\/span>Level 4<\/b>\" student (the <\/span>highest grade<\/span>) is engaged, shows positive leadership, and <\/span>misses 0 to 2.5% of classes<\/b> (two or fewer unexcused absences per semester). Conversely, a \"<\/span>Below Level 1<\/b>\" student (the lowest grade) typically struggles academically and <\/span>misses more than 10% of classes<\/b> (nine or more unexcused absences per semester). <\/span>This represents a major shift<\/b> from the previous system, <\/span>where 100% of marks were based solely on coursework<\/b>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEQAO Test<\/b>\r\n\r\nStarting this academic year, the <\/span>Education Quality and Accountability Office<\/b> (EQAO) test <\/span>will account for<\/b> 20% of a Grade 9<\/b> student's <\/span>final math grade<\/b>. This decision follows a warning from Education Minister Paul Calandra in December 2025, citing insufficient progress in reading, writing, and especially math based on recent standardized test data.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGrade 10 Financial Literacy Test<\/b>\r\n\r\nStudents entering Grade 9 in the 2025\/2026 school year and beyond <\/span>must complete a financial literacy test to graduate<\/b>. This test, <\/span>administered during the Grade 10 career studies course<\/b>, will count as <\/span>5% of their final grade<\/b>. Students <\/span>must score at least 70% to pass<\/b>, and they <\/span>will have two attempts<\/b>. The test assesses core financial literacy concepts taught in Grades 1 through 9 and includes learning modules and assessment questions developed by TVO.<\/span>\r\n\r\nKindergarten Curriculum Overhaul<\/b>\r\n\r\nThe new Kindergarten curriculum will emphasize <\/span>early reading, writing, and math through play-based learning<\/b>. It will also incorporate new <\/span>elements of science and technology<\/b>, <\/span>coding<\/b>, and <\/span>financial literacy<\/b>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNew History Content<\/b>\r\n\r\nIn Grade 10, <\/span>students will study topics including Black Canadians<\/b>, the Holocaust, antisemitism, the Holodomor famine, and extreme political and social ideologies as part of an updated history curriculum.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNew School Board Offices<\/b>\r\n\r\nParents and guardians will have access to <\/span>new Student and Family Support Offices<\/b> at each school board across the province. These offices aim to give families a \"clear place\" to seek help with serious or complex issues that may not be resolved at the school level.<\/span>\r\n\r\nTeachers Will Receive $750 for School Supplies<\/b>\r\n\r\nStarting September 1, about <\/span>80,000 elementary homeroom teachers will receive $750 to buy classroom supplies<\/b>, easing some of the out-of-pocket expenses they have previously faced. The Ontario government has designated Staples as the vendor for this Classroom Supplies Fund. However, Opposition and Ontario NDP Leader <\/span>Marit Stiles has called for a Canadian retailer to replace the American-owned Staples<\/b>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNew Digital Learning Platform<\/b>\r\n\r\nTeachers from Grades 1 to 12 will gain access to the <\/span>Edwin digital learning platform from Nelson Education this fall<\/b>.

Many individuals with these conditions do not claim this benefit because they <\/span>wrongly assume that they are not \"disabled\"<\/b> or do not realize that a disability is not solely defined by physical limitations, like needing a wheelchair or guide dog.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis assumption is incorrect.<\/i><\/b>\r\n\r\nThe <\/span>Canada Revenue Agency<\/b> (CRA) <\/span>does not approve the Disability Tax Credit based solely on a diagnosis<\/b>; rather, <\/span>it assesses how much a condition restricts everyday functioning<\/b>. Conditions that can qualify include ADHD, Type 1 diabetes, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues that may not be physically evident.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor 2025, the federal disability amount is $10,138, with an additional supplement of up to $5,914 for a dependent under 18. Once approved, this certification can also make you eligible for a newer, separate payment: the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWho Qualifies?<\/b>\r\n\r\nCRA eligibility is based on <\/span>one main question<\/b>: <\/span>Is the person significantly restricted in a basic activity of daily living nearly 90% of the time for at least 12 months?<\/b> This assessment includes a category for mental functions, covering aspects such as memory, problem-solving, emotional regulation, judgment, and adaptive functioning. As a result, severe cases of <\/span>ADHD<\/b>, <\/span>depression<\/b>, <\/span>anxiety<\/b>, or <\/span>autism <\/b>may qualify when they <\/span>significantly limit day-to-day life<\/b>, even if the individual receives medication or therapy.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThere is also a category for <\/span>life-sustaining therapy<\/b>. For instance, someone managing <\/span>Type 1 diabetes<\/b> with insulin may qualify<\/b> if their therapy is medically required at specified frequencies and involves a set time commitment each week. <\/span>In all cases, the CRA evaluates function<\/b>, <\/span>not labels<\/b>. Two individuals with the same diagnosis can have very different outcomes based on how their conditions restrict their daily activities.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHow Much is This Credit Worth and How Can It Be Claimed?<\/b>\r\n\r\nThe current federal amount is <\/span>$10,138<\/b>. This is a <\/span>non-refundable credit<\/b>, meaning <\/span>it reduces income tax payable<\/b>; the benefit depends on the lowest federal tax rate for the year and the amount of tax owed. <\/span>Provinces also add their own disability amount<\/b>, which varies by location.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBonus Feature<\/i><\/b>: Qualifying for the DTC can unlock access to the <\/span>Canada Disability Benefit <\/b>(CDB).<\/span>\r\n\r\nAdministered by Service Canada, the CDB pays up to <\/span>$204.20 a month<\/b> or <\/span>$2,450.40 a year <\/b>to eligible Canadians aged <\/span>18 to 64<\/b>. It's income-tested, so the amount you receive depends on family income, and applicants must first have an approved DTC.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHow to Claim It<\/b>\r\n\r\nTo start the process, use<\/span> Form T2201<\/b>, Disability Tax Credit Certificate. A <\/span>doctor <\/b>or <\/span>nurse practitioner can certify<\/b> any section, while a <\/span>psychologist <\/b>can specifically certify the mental functions section. Once the CRA approves the form, <\/span>taxpayers can request adjustments for up to 10 previous tax years<\/b> using the \"Change my return\" option in their CRA My Account, subject to normal reassessment limits. Canadians aged <\/span>18 to 64 who are approved for the DTC<\/b> can then <\/span>apply separately <\/b>to Service Canada <\/span>for the CDB<\/b>.<\/span>","post_title":"4 in 10 Canadians Never Claim Tax Credits Owed to Them.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"4-in-10-canadians-never-claim-tax-credits-owed-to-them","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-09-11 23:30:01","post_modified_gmt":"2026-09-11 23:30:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=71416","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":71414,"post_author":"21","post_date":"2026-09-11 22:07:11","post_date_gmt":"2026-09-11 22:07:11","post_content":"NEW DELHI, India (MNTV) \u2014 Police in India's Uttar Pradesh state have reportedly filed criminal cases against journalist Pooja Mathur over her reporting on the demolition of a historic mosque, raising fresh concerns over journalists facing police action for questioning authorities over the destruction of Muslim religious sites.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe cases relate to Mathur's reporting and social media posts following the Sept. 5 demolition of the Saharanpur Collectorate Mosque, which Muslims say dated to 1911. <\/span>\r\n\r\nAuthorities demolished the mosque with bulldozers only three days after a district court rejected its management's appeal against an eviction order. The court ruling itself did not expressly order demolition of the structure.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn one case, police objected to a Sept. 7 post on an X account bearing Mathur's name that alleged religious objects, books and clothes belonging to the mosque's imam were removed along with debris after the demolition. Police described the post as objectionable and registered an FIR.<\/span>\r\n\r\nA separate case was reportedly filed over Mathur's reporting for YouTube channel Red Chilli Live, with police objecting to both the title and content of her report.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMathur said she learned about the police action through a newspaper and defended her work as journalism based on what she witnessed at the site and accounts she gathered from local residents.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cIs showing the truth a crime?\u201d she asked.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe cases add a press freedom dimension to an already contentious demolition that has been condemned by Muslim leaders and opposition politicians as another assault on Muslim religious spaces under the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party government in Uttar Pradesh.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe mosque stood inside Saharanpur's district administrative complex. Its legal troubles began following a complaint by Vikas Tyagi, a former regional leader of Bajrang Dal, a hardline Hindu organization, who alleged that it occupied government land without authorization. <\/span>\r\n\r\nA local official subsequently ordered its eviction, and a district judge rejected the mosque management's appeal on Sept. 2.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMosque representatives disputed the administration's account and said authorities moved before they had an effective opportunity to approach a higher court. <\/span>\r\n\r\nThe mosque was demolished before dawn under heavy security, with bulldozers deployed and access to the administrative complex restricted.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMathur said criminalizing journalists for documenting such actions could discourage scrutiny of those exercising state power.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cIf a journalist has to pay the price for showing the truth and asking questions in the form of an FIR, then who will raise the voice of the common people?\u201d she said.<\/span>\r\n\r\nShe said she would continue reporting despite the cases, turning the dispute from one over the demolition of a Muslim place of worship into another test of how much space remains for journalists to question such state actions.<\/span>","post_title":"Indian journalist faces police cases over historic mosque demolition reporting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"indian-journalist-faces-police-cases-over-historic-mosque-demolition-reporting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-09-11 22:10:03","post_modified_gmt":"2026-09-11 22:10:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=71414","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"post_count":10,"current_post":-1,"before_loop":true,"in_the_loop":false,"post":{"ID":71441,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2026-09-14 05:27:15","post_date_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:27:15","post_content":"

\r\n\r\nMUSCAT, Oman (MNTV) - Oman announced the postponement of a regional meeting scheduled for Monday in its southern city of Salalah to discuss arrangements for a new maritime route through the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nThe Omani Foreign Ministry said late Sunday that the meeting had been postponed to a later date \"to help create appropriate conditions for constructive dialogue.\"\r\n\r\nIt said the decision was taken out of a desire to create conditions for talks that can lead to sustainable understandings supporting regional security and stability and meeting the aspirations of the region\u2019s peoples for cooperation and peace.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn the interests of consensus, the regional meeting set for tomorrow in Salalah has been postponed,\u201d Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi wrote on the US social media platform X.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe remain committed to fostering dialogue that supports stability and lasting cooperation in our region,\u201d he added.\r\n\r\nAlbusaidi accompanied his post with the flags of Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, indicating the countries that had been expected to take part.\r\n\r\nHe did not announce a new date for the meeting or elaborate on the reason for its postponement.\r\n\r\nThe postponement came a day after Bahrain rejected participation in a proposed regional ministerial meeting involving Iran.\r\n\r\nThe Bahraini Foreign Ministry said Saturday that Manama will not participate in any collective ministerial meeting with Iran before diplomatic relations between the two countries were restored.\r\n\r\nThe statement came in response to reports about a proposed ministerial meeting on developments in the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nIranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Friday that Tehran would organize the meeting, hosted by Oman, at the foreign minister level and with the participation of eight countries bordering the Gulf.\r\n\r\nIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi earlier Sunday told the London-based Arabic-language news outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that \u201cthe main, and indeed the only, agenda of this meeting is the new maritime route in the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d\r\n\r\nHe said Iran and Oman had finalized an agreement setting out the new route, along with maps and a joint statement detailing the arrangements.\r\n\r\nHe stressed that the agreement with Oman \u201cby no means\u201d signifies the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nBahrain is among Gulf states that have been targeted by Iran during its confrontation with the US.\r\n\r\nTehran has previously targeted sites it said were linked to US forces in Bahrain, including Isa Air Base, in retaliation for US strikes against Iranian targets.\r\n\r\n\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bThe US and Israel launched attacks on Iran in February, prompting Tehran to retaliate against Israel and US military targets across the region.\r\n\r\nThe US and Iran signed the Islamabad Memorandum in June with Pakistani and Qatari mediation, but its implementation later stalled amid disagreements over the Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nThe US resumed military attacks on Iran in August, with Tehran responding by striking US military assets in several Arab countries aligned with Washington.\r\n\r\n<\/div>","post_title":"Oman postpones regional meeting on new Strait of Hormuz maritime route","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"oman-postpones-regional-meeting-on-new-strait-of-hormuz-maritime-route","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-09-14 05:27:15","post_modified_gmt":"2026-09-14 05:27:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=71441","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"comment_count":0,"current_comment":-1,"found_posts":29275,"max_num_pages":2928,"max_num_comment_pages":0,"is_single":false,"is_preview":false,"is_page":false,"is_archive":false,"is_date":false,"is_year":false,"is_month":false,"is_day":false,"is_time":false,"is_author":false,"is_category":false,"is_tag":false,"is_tax":false,"is_search":false,"is_feed":false,"is_comment_feed":false,"is_trackback":false,"is_home":true,"is_privacy_policy":false,"is_404":false,"is_embed":false,"is_paged":false,"is_admin":false,"is_attachment":false,"is_singular":false,"is_robots":false,"is_favicon":false,"is_posts_page":false,"is_post_type_archive":false,"thumbnails_cached":false}
