# Two Muslim Women Raped by CIA Station Chief in Algeria

January 30, 2009 - الجمعة 04 صفر 1430 by Anwar alAwlaki
Filed under Imam Anwar's Blog

The Washington Post reports that the CIA’s top official in Algeria has been recalled to Washington for an investigation that he has raped two Algerian women by drugging them at his residence in Algiers.
The article goes on to say:

> The first woman, an Algerian national who also holds a German passport, told embassy officials she was assaulted by Warren after meeting him at a party at his residence. She said Warren offered her a mixed drink, which he prepared out of her sight. Later, she said, after consuming more of the drinks, she became ill and experienced symptoms “nothing like the physiological effects of alcohol” she had previously experienced, the affidavit states. The next morning she awoke “on a bed, completely nude, with no memory of . . . what had occurred.”
> The second woman, a married Algerian national living in Spain, told embassy officials she became violently ill after consuming two drinks at Warren’s residence last Feb. 17. She reported fading in and out of consciousness and awakening to find Warren having sex with her. She said she blacked out again and could not recall afterward how she had gotten home.
> In the affidavit, the investigator said there was “probable cause” to believe Warren had committed aggravated sexual assault.

Furthermore the article states:

> ABC, quoting unnamed officials, said the women’s accounts were backed up by videotapes that were found in the CIA officer’s residence. The tapes, apparently secretly made, allegedly show the CIA officer engaged in sex acts with several women, including one of the alleged victims in the case who appears to be in a semiconscious state, the network reported.

Lets look a what this case is telling us:
Firstly, birds of the same feather flock together. The offices, residences, and gathering places of these imperial American officials usually attract the scum of the earth just like feces would attract flies. The American soldiers have spread their filth in Thailand, the Philippines and now in Iraq and Dubai. The American civilian presence brings with it missionary work, and a cover for intelligence gathering by establishing vast networks of local spies.
Secondly, this official was holding parties at his residence and inviting locals to them. He would not be able to hold a party in his own house in the middle of a major Muslim city if he did not enjoy a certain level of security and a feeling of immunity from repercussions from the host country. American officials have been showing us lately that they act in a way when they are in Muslim countries that they would not be able to if they were on US territory. In fact their only fear is being investigated by the US, not by the so called ‘Muslim’ governments that are hosting them. This security and feeling of immunity could not be possible if not for the unlimited support and open access granted to them by the murtad governments in the Muslim world and the fatwas issued by the Green Zone Scholars at the request of their employers and paymasters that provide the religious approval and cover for their actions.
The simile of this is that the US wanted to enter Muslim land but found it to be very rough and full of thorns so they put on thick boots to be able to walk through our land. But then the boots where getting dirty and looking very unpleasant so they hired some boot cleaners who would keep their boots clean and polished at all times.
The boots that the Americans put on are the tyrannical governments in the Muslim world who gave unlimited access and support to the US, and the boot cleaners are the court scholars who issue fatwas supporting these governments and protecting the blood of the invaders of our land. The reputation of these governments could not be upheld among some of the gullible masses if it wasn’t for the corrupt scholars protecting them. America has a tarnished image and whoever stands on its side gets tarnished along with it. It is these Green Zone Scholars who polish the image of these corrupt governments. They are the boot lickers; the scholars for dollars who sold their religion for a miser return.
If there was an operation in Algiers that ended up killing this CIA officer then the Green Zone Scholars would promptly bark in condemnation. But now let us wait and see what they would say in condemnation of his actions. Would they come out and proclaim what the ruling in such a situation should be? Do they have the courage to tell us that the ruling on this is that this official should be arrested and promptly executed if found guilty?
The fact that the CIA officer is a convert to Islam is irrelevant because his role as head of CIA station renders him a murtad. The only difference his conversion has is whether the rulings of kufr asli or ridah should apply to him.
The situation of these governments is so impotent that the US media is already picking up on the story and US officials are speaking out against what happened while the spokesman for the Algerian Embassy in Washington “had no immediate response to the report”!
May Allah destroy you all!

   assalamualaikum….JazakAllahu Khayran ya sheikh for bringing the truth to us as u always have been Alhamdulillah…May Allah azza wajal preserve u and reward u abundantly…ameen

   what a shame indeed!!,these so called governments have forgotten the deen ul haq…..i just want to quote the following verses of the Qura’an which explains their status in the best way

   “As to those who reject Faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.

   Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur).

   Of the people there are some who say: “We believe in Allah and the Last Day;” but they do not (really) believe.

   Fain would they deceive Allah and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves, and realise (it) not!

   In their hearts is a disease; and Allah has increased their disease: And grievous is the penalty they (incur), because they are false (to themselves).

   Say: “Shall we tell you of those who lose most in respect of their deeds?-

   Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works?

   They are those who deny the Signs of their Lord and the fact of their having to meet Him (in the Hereafter): vain will be their works, nor shall We, on the Day of Judgment, give them any weight.

   Brother Anwar,

   It makes me sick to know how badly this ummah is treated.

   It makes me sick to hear about these women and others who have been in the same and even worse situations!

   The slideshow you have added on here of my family in gaza makes my blood boil and my heart rage!

   I am a loser for not being able to do anything about what is happening right now and so is everyone else who sits back and waits for action.

   What will it take for me to wake up? Allah has given my body strength and I am a still young but yet I can’t seem to do anything about all these things! Woe to me!

   I try to justify it to myself by saying my kids need me, my brothers need me, my mother needs me but the bottom line is Allah is sufficent for them and sufficent for me!

   I pray for Allah to release me from this daze and allow me to defend this religion and to never let me leave this earth without bullets in my head and chest fighting for his cause!

   Make dua for me brothers and sisters!

   Salam Alaykum,
   Ibraheim

    that’s a really silly article
    Mr. Somali is the only one who raised a good point. You can’t expect good protection at parties and while one is drinking… there are Muslim men who also rape women… i.e. women who don’t goto parties and don’t drink…
    i just think Anwar Awlaaki has no other agenda but to spread hatred for the western people as a whole which as unIslamic as the west itself

    You didn’t mention that the man that was responsible for this act – the CIA agent – is a CONVERT TO ISLAM.

    On top of the problems that you mentioned, this is another case of Muslim-on-Muslim violence!

    January 30, 2009 - الجمعة 04 صفر 1430 at 10:06 am

    Asalamu alaikum:
    Subhan’Allah, I was just following up on this story and on the ABC’s report mentioned that the CIA chief terrorist who rape these two women is “a convert to Islam”!
    This needs verification but it reminds me one of the earlier comments that were given by one HIMED on the Suicide or Martyrdom? Page, who promoting about a book written by so call American “convert”, who was with the Mujahideen and later left the Mujahideen in Afghanistan only to joined with the so call ‘counterterrorism with the FBI’ to discredit the Mujahideen and promote RAND propaganda machine against Islam.
    .
    As Imam Anwar outlined it on this post, I believe these are one of the tactics of the Kuffar in order to for them to attack Islam and Muslims and do their dirty jobs wearing their dirty boots.
    On our response to HIMED, I said:
    .
    ‘Know that a murtad or this deceiver who fled from the Mujahideen to join with the Taghut FBI terrorist, his neck should be strike. So do not be for the deceitful an advocate.
    .
    The Kuffar with their world wide deception tools and terrorist organizations such as the FBI, CIA, MOSSAD, MI5, think they can deceive the Muminun . But Allah Azza Wa Jall Says:’
    .
    “They [think to] deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.
    .
    In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.
    .
    And when it is said to them, “Do not cause corruption on the earth,” they say, “We are but reformers.”
    .
    Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not.
    .
    And when it is said to them, “Believe as the people have believed,” they say, “Should we believe as the foolish have believed?” Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know [it] not.
    .
    And when they meet those who believe, they say, “We believe”; but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, “Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers -
    .
    [But] Allah mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly.”
    …..
    [Surah Baqarah, Ayat 9-15]

    We have no symapthies for the ones who go to such parties and then do drinking by will, but yes we do condemn the Pigs and Apes for their acts and corrupt our lands, no doubt its all due to corrupt and puppet Govts.

    @maghi85- Yes we do hate Kuffar and will hate untill we have Iman in our heart. You keep your version of Islam with yourself.

    maghi85 your pathetic looser…

    ass kissing saudi kufaar government

    May Allah destroy kufaar leaders act as muslims e.g saudis so call kings..

    Reason i know the rulers are so call saudis kings are kufaar kafir. They do not fulfil the pillars of Tawheed . They ridicule the deen of Allaah (swt). They ally with the disbelievers against Muslims. They adopt the deen of Democracy. They direct some of Allaahs names and attributes to themselves. They legislate kufr constitutions (kufr law), They pay fake scholars to try to put Allah swt lights out, They wear kufaar chains the Cross.

    May Allah bring peace and bring the rule of Khilafah all over the world. May Allah humiliate the kuffars and destroy their evil plans. May Allah shine the martyrs who lived and died only for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala. Ameen.

    O Allah, Lord of Jibreel, Mikaa’eel and, Creator of heaven and earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Protect Imam Anwar and make all of us Muslims see the truth he does and unite Muslims. Ameeeeen Ya rab

    What Al shabab of Sumalia did and do is by killing first green zone scholars and those who lick and clean the Kuffat boots, that is why (Alhamdulilah) the strongest army in Africa (Ethiopia) with their friends were all defeated, humilated and destroyed to the point where they even run from their heavy weapons! allahu akbar!
    What Anwar is telling us is that we should be taking care of these so called scholars who wanna sell the message of our leader,,Muhammed (saw) then the pupet leaders,,then the Umman will be victoriouse!

    The Lion of Islam, Amir Mujahideen Shaykh Usama bin Laden (ha).
    .
    “He (Allah’s Blessings and Salutations may be on him) considered the treaty with Bani Qainuqa’ void because one of their Jews publicly hurt one Muslim woman, one single woman, at the market. Let alone then, the killing you caused to hundred of thousands Muslims and occupying their sanctities. It is now clear that those who claim that the blood of the American solders (the enemy occupying the land of the Muslims) should be protected are merely repeating what is imposed on them by the regime; fearing the aggression and interested in saving themselves. It is a duty now on every tribe in the Arab Peninsula to fight, Jihad, in the cause of Allah and to cleanse the land from those occupiers. Allah knows that there blood is permitted (to be spilled) and their wealth is a booty; their wealth is a booty to those who kill them. The most Exalted said in the verse of As-Sayef, The Sword: “so when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters where ever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush” (At-Tauba; 9:5).”
    .
    May Allah give him victory over his enemies.

    Bismillah

    as salaam aliekum wa rahmatulah

    It is time for Jumuah but I have some time to comment.

    First to all the true Muslims I pray that You really are planning to get out of that forsaken country and leave all the Rand Muslim including their affiliates behind.

    To my brother and shaikh, by Allah I pray that Allah never lets anything happen to you and that you don’t even get so much as a graze in this life even though I know that we all have to be tested. You have spoken the haq over and over again. I think that all that is left is that we contemplate seriously on each sentence and really try to understand what you are saying not just read your words like a newspaper article.

    At the other brothers who commented on the words of maghi85 it is clear that he is devoid of reason and logic. I am sure that he is a candidate to understand that 1+1+1= 1.

    Even the most moderate of Muslims can understand that all around them they are under attack; either psychologically or physically.

    It was a great move to put up the slide show. A picture paints a thousand words.

    Finally Ameen to your dua shaikh Anwar.

    @ brother Talha, we need men of courage to do this where are they ?
    I know it can be done with the will of Allah swt) as you pointed out but we live in a time when a few carry such heavy loads and the multitudes can’t even see the direction their going. You know the only people wanting to make Hijra are the ones most unable to do it and when they leave their concerned for the weak and needy they leave behind, after Gaza whats changed a few good people have woken up but not enough to make real changes .I thought we were going places but I feel this ummah must suffer and suffer non stop before they wake up. Those that have the means and the wealth to do something still love the fleeting life.

    JazakAllah khair to the Imam and may Allah ‘azza wa jal accept you dua and remove these tyrant regimes and governments from the Muslims lands. May Allah ‘azza wa jal grant us the tawfique to remain steadfast upon His Deen and to support the Muslims across the world.

    Also, a word of caution to the commentors in relation to this article. Please refrain from passing judgment upon these Muslim sisters without being in possession of the facts. The Western media (driven by Zionist lobbyists) works day and night to spread disinformation and lies in relation to legitimate resistance to oppression and false accusations against Muslims.

    Take for example the case of our sister Aafia Siddiqui. Our dear sister (after having one of her children murdered and suffering years of illegal detention) was ‘accused’ of wrestling a rifle from a US interrogator and shooting him in the chest! A middle-aged woman, weak from hunger, torture, and Allah only knows what else, WRESTLED with a well-fed, well-trained US interrogator and shot him in the chest? Are we to believe such nonsense?

    We must view their information with the greatest of scrutiny and have a better opinion of our brothers and sisters accused by them.

    @ maghi85 its not appropriator to address imam Anwar in the manner you have. It’s clear that you can’t comprehend to what the main massage of his post is, if you don’t have anything beneficial to say keep silent.

33. Hamza Somali says:
    January 30, 2009 - الجمعة 04 صفر 1430 at 12:38 pm

    Well, firstly they say this guy is a Muslim, but maybe that’s just his cover. After all, he’s an alleged CIA station chief. If you know a guy is an open spy, would you believe their testimony?

    Secondly, it’s really sad these 2 ‘Muslim sisters’ are in a party w/ the CIA station chief to be able to accept mixed drinks – which are combinations of liquor (subhanallah) to begin with.

    If a fasiq comes to us with news, we must verify.

    The last thing I would want is for them to be able to control our emotions with fake news any time they want.

34. Hamza Somali says:
    January 30, 2009 - الجمعة 04 صفر 1430 at 12:46 pm

    Sadly, anytime you have a poor country accept all these NGOs, aide workers, foreign consultants you end up with all sorts of scandals like this.

    As bad as Somalia is, it is very inhospitable to these types of incidents.

    There is no amaana for ajaanib criminals to do this kind of thing.

    However, that’s not surprising for Algerian CIA to do that, since they have been known to kill a lot of people and blame it on Islamist groups in the past.

    This is small potatoes for them.

    Bismillah

    as salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah,

    The humiliation will not stop until we return to the deen of Allah (the most majestic). We can blog until the cows come home express our deepest regrets and concerns, complain, wail, become depressed and whatever other emotional response we want to make. However, emaan is putting into action the belief you hold in your heart. This is why the greatest generations that ever walked this planet were successful. They walked the talk and not talked the walk.
    Everyone of us here has a duty to perform and we should set about that duty so as to have an excuse before Allah. That means leaving the lands of the Kuffar, if you are a divorced, single or widowed sister then ask Allah to bring someone who will marry you and get you out from the lands of the kuffar. If you are completely stuck then you should do what you can to make dawah and to not give them your money. Draw your money from their banks and encourage others to do the same. Try as much as is reasonably possible to buy alternative products. Make dua at every opportunity to Allah to help you leave. Make a plan of action that you can work towards achieving.

    Without going into details. I wanted to leave my country of origin. Allah facilitated for me to attend a number of courses. Through my part time job I was able to fund a Masters program and towards the end of the program I began applying to leave to muslim lands. My first application was a success and I left to a country I had no idea about and had little information. However, I knew that Allah would not let me down and he didn’t.
    Brothers and sisters who are already abroad then try to help the Muslims who want to leave.

    Here are some web sites you can register your CV’s with.

    TEFL.com (for English teachers)
    GulfTalent.com

    May Allah help you all and give you what you request from the good. Some times you hate a thing and it is good for you and sometimes you love a thing and it is bad for you.

    [ Near the time of the Earthly Doomsday ]
    Ibn Abass ra) narrated, The Prophet said” Prayers will be neglected, carnal desires will be pursued, transgressors will become leaders, it will not be possible to distinguish the truthful from the false, telling lies will become desirable, payment of Zakah will be taken as a burden, the believer will be deemed the most disgraceful and he will be pained at seeing evils( all around )and his heart will melt as salt in water but he will not be able to say anything. Rain will do no good it will fall out of season. Males will commit adultery with males , and females with females. Women will be dominate. The offspring will disobey their parents, friends will treat friends badly , sins will be taken lightly. Mosque will have external decorations and beauty and there will be worshipers too but there will be hypocrisy and mutual enmity in their hearts. Then will appear A people from the west who will dominate the weak amongst my people. People will produce copies of the Quran in letters of gold but will not act upon it. The Quran will be recited in a melodious way. Usuary will become rampant. Human blood will have no value, religion will have no helpers Singing women will be on the increase. The rich will perform Hajj as a pastime, the people of the middle classes will do so to conduct business and the poor to beg for charity

    Most of the media in the West is a total lie.

    To give an example, look at 9/11. It was done by others yet they blamed Muslims for it. Muslims were thrilled initially it could have been a Muslim who did it and some were celebrating.

    Little did we know it was a big trick to enter Afghanistan, Iraq, and any other country they want to in the future.

    As for the news, I say don’t disbelieve in it or believe in it. They want us to be emotionally invested in the words of full-time liars.

    Wallahi, most of the real criminals who are raping and killing don’t get reported by the media.

    So we have to be wise and ask what is their agenda?

    P.S. Imam Anwar, salam from Falls Church….Sana’a wa in taal alsafar.

    Your Abu Bakr & Umar (ra) set were truly inspirational….so many gems!

    MY love for Abu Bakr, Umar, Abu UBaidah, Khalid increased so much. May Allah bless you and those suyuud of the Ummah the Companions of Al Mustafa (saw).

    السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

    Mischief has appeared in the land and the sea on account of men’s own doings that He may make them taste some of their (evil) works: maybe they mend their ways.
    Surah Ar Rum : ayah 41

    brother imam awlaki, jazakallah khayer for exposing the face of evil yet once again. evil forces have broken all bounds and they are calling for the wrath of Allah ,AouzubiAllah. the boat of their sins is over loaded and is ready to topple down. these firownic taghut forces have just put their foot in the parted sea in a hope to chase and crush the beleivers but inshaAllah the sea is going to join on them soon Ameen.

    may ALlah help us to stay put on His deen under these testing times Ameen.
    may Allah make us among those who will bring the change in the society Ameen.
    Allah is indeed preparing us for victory and separating the sadiqeen from munafiqeen.

    the slide show idea is good too, as it will keep the incident fresh in our brains , we muslims have a bad habit of forgetting things and hence not doing anything about it. it reminded me of a verse of ”lion of lal masjid” on the incident of Lal Masjid in islam abad in pakistan,

    وضو ہم اپنے لہو سے کر کے خدا کے ہاں سرخرو ہيں ٹھيرے
    meaning,
    we have done our wudu with our blood and are successful in sight of Allah

    we have fullfilled our duty ,now you dont forget your duty.

    may Allah guide us all to the truth, give victory to mujahedeen and make islam prevail the lands AMeen.

    As Salaam Aalaikum ALL, I like Shaykh Anwar Al Awlaki and whatever I’ve heard from him so far made a complete sense to me Al Hamdulillah, but this article does not follow the correct logic. First of all like some people have pointed out here that it is not a clear case of a rape of a Muslim
    women here, rather these women went to the party of this CIA officer willingly and seems like they have known the officer since sometime and who knows what exactly is the rape story.

    Another way we can look at the whole CIA officer story is from his COVERSION point of view, may be because he coverted to Islam and was a very high ranking official and has lots of CIA secret with him they might have falsely accused him of raping the women, by the way nobody makes his own tapes when he is raping the woman.

    There is something fishy about this whole CIA offer story, us soldiers have been causing lot of fithna in Muslim lands and there is no
    doubt about it, like what they did in Iraq but we’ve never heard the story of their being called back to US or getting procecuted etc, this CIA officers story as reported by CNN has some flaws. We must not jump to the conclusion just by reading the news in CNN, unless we have the correct version of the story it is not right to talk or give fatwa about it.

    And Allah swt knows best.

    So I request Shaykh Anwar to do some investigation on this before giving his Fatwa.

    As-Salaamu ‘Alaykum

    @Umm Umar Subhanallah the Messenger of Allah (saw) never spoke from his desires and always spoke the truth (saw). That describes these days exactly. Wallahu ‘Alam, but I’m almost certain that the next leader of Islam will be the Mahdi. May Allah (swt) make us among his army of 12,000 who liberate and bring victory to the Ummah. Oh brothers and sisters, 12,000 is not a large number. These will be the best 12,000 of the Ummah. These people will bring the final victory to Islam with Isa (as) by the Will of Allah (awj). These people will bring the rule of Islam over the World. The Prophet, who never spoke from his desires and always spoke the truth (saw) said that the best individuals and generation of the Muslims were the sahabah (ra). The best individuals (not necessarily generation) after them would come at the end of time. Oh my brothers and sisters who I love for the sake of Allah (swt), our noble Imam Al-Awlaki has said in one of his lectures, there is so much reward lying around for us, let’s not sit on the sidelines and let it all pass us. We have the chance of being the best group (not generation) of Muslims after the sahabah. What an honor and blessing from Allah (swt). Let’s not waste our day helplessly waiting for Allah (awj) to open opportunities for us, but rather let’s work day and night to find these opportunities which Allah (swt) has ready for those who want it. Let us be among the blessed people who Allah (swt) chooses from his own hands and who will be among the highest people of Jannah just under the prophets (as).

    One other thing I wanted to point out. Our beloved Sh. Awlaki said that there would be 4 areas which will play a great role in the revival of the Ummah during the last days, Ash-Sham, Khorazan, Iraq, and Yemen. We believe the first three (Falasteen, Afghanistan, and Iraq) are currently going through this revival, but I wondered about Yemen. Subhanallah now we’re hearing of our brothers starting Jihad camps in the Yemen area. (Please correct me if I have not understood this correctly)

    Allah knows best.

    Make du’a for the Ummah.

    @ maghi85, this is a typical misguidance in Islam subhaanAllah – mercifull with the disbelievers and harsh with the believers. If these women are muslims then they should be puniched according to Shariah and then we should pray for forgiveness for them. And for these kuffars and murtadden, then we should be harsh with them – and not the opposite which you clearly are trying to spread. Wa Allahu a’lam

    As Salamu Alaikum Dear Sheikh
    It is not surprising to hear that our corrupt govts are allowing the kufr to infilitrate our lands and peoples.This does not come as a surprise.,however, what is even more disturbing to hear is that muslim women are attending a party at this man’s residence and so on..Hearing this is more sad and upsetting..I feel anyone who mixes with the kufar trying to please them in any way have compromised what they stand for have compromised the protection of Allah(swt). When Allah(swt) has told us that fire burns can we throw ourselves in the fire and say it doesn’t burn,it doesn’t hurt and then we cry out from the pain. Are we not as individuals given by Allah free will to choose our deeds.Has not Allah made everything clear for us what is right and what is wrong. oUR CREATOR has warned us, our Messenger has taught us and any courruption any evil is because of what our hands have committed there is no one else to blame but ourselves. The Shaitayan is with everyone of us tempting us for every breath we breathe but does this mean we submit to our enemy.Ofcourse we are humans and we all make mistakes and hope Allah forgives us. It is a struggle of this life however we cannot place the blame on others when it is we who have forgotten the words of Allah and unfortunately many follow thier desires and the enemy of Allah and our own enemy from day one. When are we going to ever wake up from this nightmare which we put ourselves in with our ignorance..For every sin we get what we get is a fair punishment of Allah for Allah is a fair Judge and we deseve to get the punishment which Allah has decreed for us. I hate to sound so pesimistic but it’s the truth for every crime there is a punishment. For when we fall in clamaties we question why have we really at ourselves have not strayed from Allah’s path.. May Allah guide us to His Light,bless us and protect us from hypocrisy,kufr and the whisperings of the Shaityan….

    problem of todays muslim world is so called muslim themselves – their charecterlessness and immorality is causing tremendous problems all over – unfortunately such are the peole who are in high offices and made to exist in lime light as the representative of Muslim and Islam.
    The remedy is just not cursing them verbally – but a struggle to push them out of their seats and punish them publicly for their satanic deeds so that they are made an example to others.

    Egypt blocks Iran aid mission to Gaza
    Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:58:43 GMT

    Iranian Red Crescent aid workers load medical aid onto the ‘Iran Shahed’ ship in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas in late December.
    An Iranian ship carrying aid for the people in Gaza has been forced away from Egypt after Cairo prohibited the unloading of the ship.

    For two weeks, the Iran Shahed carrying two-thousand tons of medical and food supplies was held 50km off the coast of Gaza by Egyptian authorities.

    The Iran Shahed arrived in the Lebanese capital port city of Beirut at 7:14 pm (17:14 GMT) local time, a Press TV correspondent reported on Thursday.

    Ghazanfar Rokn-Abadi, the spokesman for the Gaza Reconstruction Committee of Iran, explained on Thursday that the ship was forced to change course after Egypt denied it entry.

    “We gave the Egyptians a 24-hour deadline to conclude the matter. After they refused to accommodate, the ship changed its course to Lebanon,” he said.

    The Egyptian government has officially refused to give the relief ship permission to unload aid at the Egyptian seaport of Al-Areesh, an informed source at the Organization of the Islamic Conference confirmed on Wednesday.

    Earlier this week, Egyptian officials justified their decision to deny the ship entry by accusing the Iranian ship of carrying weapons for the Hamas resistance movement.

    Israel also joined Egypt, which neighbors the Gaza Strip, in its anti-Iran efforts on the issue, claiming that Tehran was trying to supply Hamas with new Grad-model Katyusha rockets.

    Cairo is seen throughout the Middle East as Tel Aviv’s main accomplice in denying the 1.5 million population of the Gaza Strip vital supplies such as food and medicine.

    The Messenger Muhammad (saw) said:

    “Islam began as something strange; and it will return as something strange. Paradise is for the Strangers.” His companions (ra) then asked: ‘who are the Strangers, oh Rasool-Allah?’ He (saw) replied: ‘Those who forbid the evil when the people become corrupted.’”

    Our ultimate aim of pleasing Allah (swt) and entering Paradise (in the form of green birds – as promised for the martyrs) can only be accomplished when we forbid the evil and stand firm on the right path in a time when people become completely corrupted. In regards to the same narration, Imaam Ahmad said: “They (the Strangers) are the ones who increase (their eemaan) when the people decrease (their eemaan).”

    “March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and poor), strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allah. This is better for you, if you but knew.” 9-41

    “Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight … are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause , then wait until Allah brings about His Decision (torment). And Allah guides not the people who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah).” 9-24

    May Allah Destroy the Kufaar and Expose the Munafiqs and Humiliate the Murtadeen….

    “O worshipper of the Two Holy Mosques, if only you could see us,
    you would know that you are merely playing in your worship.
    Whoever is dying his neck with tears [out of the fear of Allah],
    [Should know that] our throats are being dyed with our blood.
    Or he who tires his horse in falsehood
    [Should realize that] our horses are fatigued on the ‘day of adversity’.
    The scent of perfume is for you, but for us, our perfume is
    The dust of our horses’ hooves and the more pleasant dust.
    From our Prophet came a statement that is true and cannot be denied.
    The dust from a horse in the path of Allah that enters the nose of its
    cannot come together with the smoke of the Blazing Fire [of Hell].

    Ibn al-Qayyim said in his ‘Nuniyah’:

    Openly proclaim what Allah commanded, and don’t fear the worthless instead of Allah * And fear only
    Him, and you will succeed in safety;
    And give victory to the Book of Allah and the traditions * That came from the one sent with the Qur’an;
    And strike every denier with the sword of Revelation * Just like the Mujahid would strike over the fingertips;
    And carry on with truthful zeal * The way of the sincere and brave who are dedicated to Allah;
    And remain firm with patience under the banner of guidance * And if you are harmed in the process, it is for
    the Pleasure of the Merciful;
    And make the Book of Allah and authentic traditions your weapons * And strengthen your soul;
    Who will fight and present himself * Or compete on the fields?
    Openly preach what the Messenger came with * And do not fear the lack of helpers;
    As Allah will give victory to His Religion and Book * And Allah is sufficient to protect His slave;
    And do not fear the plots of the enemy * As they only fight using lies and falsehood;
    The soldiers of the Messenger’s followers are Angels * And their soldiers are the army of Satan;
    What a difference there is between the two groups * Whoever is confused should just compare them both;
    Be firm and fight under the banner of guidance * And be patient, as the victory of Allah, your Lord, is near;
    As Allah will give victory to His Religion and Book * And His Messenger with knowledge and authority;
    And truth is a pillar that none can demolish * Even if everyone gathered to do so;
    And if your opponents become many and overwhelm you * Stay firm, as their power is like smoke;
    It rises up and afterwards * Is blown away to where the eye cannot see;
    Do not fear their large numbers, as they are worthless and like flies * Would you fear a fly?
    And do not be pleased with the leadership of the cow * Whose leaders are themselves oxen;
    And if they intend, they will come against you * So, do not act shocked or cowardly if they do so;
    And remain firm and do not carry on without support* As this is not praiseworthy with the brave;
    Even though the group of Allah fights with their righteous actions * Not a battalion of the brave;
    By Allah, they did not conquer lands due to their numbers * Their numbers were not noticeable;
    So, if you see the group of Islam * With its cavalry side by side with those in authority;
    In such a case, enter their ranks * And do not be lazy or fluttered;
    The truth will be aided and tested * So, do not be surprised, as this is the pattern of the Merciful;
    This is how His group will be distinguished from His enemies * And this is why the people are two groups;
    And this is why the Messengers fought the disbelievers * Since this rag-tag group first existed;
    However, the good end will be for the people of truth * If it doesn’t come here, it will come later from the
    Rewarder….

    Buried for Islam and its people
    Are our prisoners living well like you are, O Muslims?
    Indeed the thunder has raged in the hearts
    Are the prisoners in dignity as you have been, O Muslims?
    Disgrace is not in shackles and bricks
    The worst humiliation, O Prisoner, you have left far behind you
    You have aided the Religion of the Knower of the Unseen
    And indeed honour, truly you have gained
    For the honour of honours lies in the depths of hearts
    Our prisoners have we forgotten, nay rather we have forsaken
    An enraged lion will not even alarm us
    For our World today remains long in its silence
    As if people; the worshippers of the Crucifix
    Have for sure been following the path of truth
    What pain to see such estrangement from a Muslim relative?

    O Ummah of Islam! Indeed the previous Muslims have left a legacy for us: exceptional examples of how prisoners were rescued from the hands of the enemy.

    And achieving Success in the topmost of my goals
    And my highest wish is to continue towards Eternity
    For I long for the Paradise Maidens
    So O my Father if you could see my state
    And they have placed shackles upon my shoulders
    And they have bound my hands with the steel of oppression
    And they have bowed my head like an invalid
    And they have removed my clothing for no sin
    And they have marched me whilst tears were in my eyes
    And the whips of treachery have exacted from me
    So I became prey beneath the feet of the predator
    And you saw me whilst the blood of my face
    Was flowing with the hands of skillful politicians
    So do not be sad, O my father, for I
    Seek protection with my Creator since to him belongs my end
    And what can the enemies do?
    Since Allah is for Islam a Preserver
    So if they spilt my blood everyday
    And they placed barriers between me and my brothers
    And if they made my life hell
    And the universe became black like eternal darkness
    And if they prevented the air from reaching my nose
    And if they placed my veins on the noose
    And if they poured flames of molten brass
    Upon my body like cool water to my skin
    Then they will never reach, O my father,
    To my heart and they will never bend my determination
    I will remain defiant, for my provision is my Book,
    And the words of the Chosen Prophet, in them is my inspiration
    I will remain, my father, an impregnable fortress
    I will remain lofty in the sky of glory
    And soon I will revive the days that have passed, into the memories of
    Salahudeen and the rest of the lions
    And soon will come a day in which will feel misery
    The tyrants and the heads of hypocrisy
    The people taste worry through desires
    And some of them will burn by fire
    But I live pure of heart
    I taste, through my dignity, the sweetest of tastes

    This Mujahid who infront of him is israel’s yahudi jew,
    This Mujahid who infront of him is Britain’s filthy christian,
    This Mujahid who infront of him is america’s zaalim kaafir,
    This Mujahid who infront of him is hindustan’s dirty Mushrik,
    This Mujahid who infront of him is the entire worlds kufaar, munafiqs and Murtadeen,
    They are staring at him, ready to fight him, trying to take his deen away from him, even his own have turned against him.
    Trying to put on this Mujahid shakles on his hands, to put chains on his feet, to put him in a cage, and for him to forsake jihad.
    But he is standing firm, he is standing strong, he is standing alone with his Rubb….

    Those of the times of Ibrahim (a.s),
    Those of the times of Musa (a.s),
    Those of the times of yosuf (a.s),
    and those of Nuh (a.s),
    Allah Ta’la says ‘whoever takes My awliya as enemies, I will take them as enemies.

    Today our Mujahid has been abandoned, his own are against him, Where is Usama ibn ladin? Who left Makkah, who in the way of Allah left Medinah, who for the sake of Allah left the land of Muhammad (saws), who for the sake of Allah left Masjid un-Nabi,.. What about masjid-un-Nabi? The Masjid which was constucted and extended by Usamah bin ladin, today this Usamah is taken away from the Masjid, taken away very far, who sacrificed his money, sweat and blood and his bin laden constuction company only for the sake of Allah.

    When he saw that his beloved Prophets (saws) land, where his beloved Prophets (saws) sweat and blood settled, Why in this blessed land is the boots of a filty yahudi jew?, why in this land is the footsteps of a zalim christian?, He started thinking, he started pondering, in a rage of awe, Remebering the words of our beloved (saws): ‘Drive out the yahud and nasarah out of the blessed arabian peninsula’…. Today these kaafirs are present in the jazeera tul-Arab! his blood was boiling, His love of Allah and the Messenger over whelmed him, he was imprisoned in his own land, He migrated to the dusty roads, the rocky mountains of Afghanistan, leaving his beloved prophets Masjid and land behind, leaving his family behind, leaving his businesses behind, leaving his wealth and luxuries behind!, Today the entire world is standing against him, including the many ‘Muslim’ goverments – the murtad governments in the Muslim world are fighting him, the green zone Scholars are slandering him, many people are even to scared to utter his blessed name,….

    where today is our beloved Muhammed Mullah Mujahid, who establised Allahs Law, who Established Allahs Shariah, Who strived to make Allah Ta’alas word the Highest,…. who for Allah Ta’la sacrificed his house, his brother, his children, who sacrificed his wife, his uncle, his luxuries, who injured his face, sacrificed his eye, but still did not lay down the quran and sunnah! Today the whole world is against him – O Allah what a horrific scene!
    O Allah what a helpless time!
    O dear muslim brothers and sisters, from where can we find the men of this Ummah, the likes of AbuBakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Muwawih, Ubaidullah, Zubair, Abu dujanah, the likes of Khalid, Abdulla ibn Mas’ud, handhulah, and their likes (R.A), Subhan’Allah – today we are living in a shame, a great humiliation… Allah Ta’la has sent us many many ayahs to go go Go forth, the prophet has given us many Many examples – BUT, Today, there is nobody to enter the Battlefield to FIGHT and spill their BLOOD!…..

    *May Allah forgive us And Give Us the strength and emaan to sacrifice and fight-in-His-Cause, May Allah give the Mujahids Victory everywhere, in the blessed land of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saws) the arabian Peninsula, in Afghanistan/pak, in chechinyaa, in iraq, in the somal, in our land of falistin and kashmeir and everyplace, may Allah Ta’ala pour Sabr on our Muslim Brother and Sisters POWs in all the prisons everyplace. May Allah protect our Beloved Sheikh And Mujahid, imam Anwar al Awlaki, and keep him and his family safe and in fine health… And to All my Brothers and sisters on this blogs may Allah accept all your dua’s – Allahumar zukna Shahadah-fi-Sabil-illah!*

    AoAwRwB, Thanks for the comments Imam. Incidents like these where Muslims women is concern not only humiliate themselves but also humiliates the honor of the sincere sons/daughters of this Ummah.

    I feel shy to post comments because I feel I have to follow what I say before I talk about it. Likewise my brother/sister here are actually in the field so they can talk and preach. There is no point in my saying we should do this and do that and I am not doing anything except typing on my keyboard. But may Allah give me the Eman to hijra, jihad and implementing Law of Allah to takecare of such Kafirs. Ameen. And may Allah make my point clear to others like me.

    My anger goes equally to both the sinner, the Muslim women who entered upon such a house and ofcourse the Kafir “so called Muslim”.
    Those Muslim sister got what they deserved when enter upon such a fitly house. I mean what were they thinking when they entered the party? Getting drunk and laid? So they did. They are only screaming out now because they were forced.
    Kafirs has to been kicked out and Sharia has to be implemented.

    I heard some comments saying he was a convert. Just merely saying the Shahada doesn’t make one a Muslim. It has to be followed by actions. Eman is saying with your mouth, tasdeequl bil Qalb and following by actions. If I become a kafir in US and say I believe in Democracy and then don’t abide by its laws. The US gov. with kick me out. Likewise there are so called Muslims on Muslims committing equal sin and they have to be punished under Sharia. Does mean if muslims commit such sins that Kafirs should be off the hook.

    May Allah increase us in Eman.

    Fidel: Obama a partner in Israel’s crimes
    Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:07:30 GMT

    Fidel Castro
    Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro has spoken out forcefully against US President Barack Obama’s pro-Israeli approach to the recent 22-day blitzing of Gaza.

    Castro censured Obama, accusing him of being compicit in Tel Aviv’s crimes. He condemned the new American president’s passivity during the course of the recent war which left 1,330 dead 5,450 wounded in one of the world’s most densely populated areas, AFP reported.

    The fighting ended three days before the Obama inaugural and during that period the Obama team kept to the mantra that there is “only one American president at a time”.

    The Cuban icon slammed US foreign policy stereotypes that remain unchanged despite Obama’s election campaign vows of reform and re-establishing America’s reputation in the world as a force for good.

    He also castigated Washington’s relentless support for Israel, which has made the Zionist state an “important nuclear power” with growing militarism “[that] threatens extreme violence against the population of all Muslim countries.”

    Obama recently posted a controversial statement on his administration’s official website, laying out his foreign policy vision concerning the conflict in the Middle East. In that message Obama stated that Washington’s “incontrovertible commitment in the Middle East must be to the security of Israel, America’s strongest ally in the Middle East.”

    Cuba was among the first countries to condemn the Israeli December 27th offensive into the Gaza Strip, dubbing it as a “genocidal act against the Palestinian civilian population.”

    @ Umar akhii i tried my best to translate the Shaykh’s short speech. I didn’t translate the entire lecture but the part related to our discussion. This is not direct translation of they Shaykh’s words but a summary. I ask Allah to forgive me for any errors.
    .
    This is the translate of what you have posted. Is the title and it reads.
    .
    Sh. Mohammad Umal (ha) advised or told those of people in Djibouti to repent to Allah.
    .
    The Shaykh said that some people who are swearing on the book of Allah to follow other that what Allah has sent surprised him. When he talked to some of the leaders in Djibouti they said to him that the UN wanted them and this and that and the international community wants to work with them and bring peace to our country. He said some this people are barging about meeting with the disbelievers and looking honor from them and laughing and happy with sitting with them. Among this people in Djibouti are those who say we have deen, they have beards and look like us. He said where is their deen, emam, islam and the hereafter.
    .
    So he said what is the international community? When have they (kufars) done anything good for muslims or anyone. Are they muslims? Is the Security Council that they happy about working on the interest of the muslims or the country? No, rather they are working on achieving their agenda using them to advance their goals. He also these so call leaders in Djibouti are tricking and playing games with the general people. And he said he is asking the scholars to come out and talk about this and expose this great kufr. He said this is the time when the scholars are most needed to clarify the haqq from the baadhil (falsehood) as this is time of great fitnah. He is also amazed about the Green Zone Scholars who are saying let this secular government come and replace the Sharia.
    .
    Another senior scholar from Somalia denounced the Djibouti elections.
    .
    Sh. Shibile said they Djibouti government is illegitimate and is going to fail bi’nillah ta’ala because is not based on Sharia and is haraam to go to Djibouti and it’s kufr to be part of it.
    .
    Let’s not forget that the US has a military base in Djibouti where they launch attacks to kill are brothers and sisters in somalia.
    .
    Also, Sh. Umal during hajj made takeer on the former president Abdullahi Yusuf. Allahu Akbar.

    ‘O my slaves, I did not take away the world from you because you were unimportant to Me, but rather I wished that you get your full share Today.

    @ somali speaking brothers and sisters below this link to a video titled Sharif Yesterday and Today. The video including statements of him calling for jihad and resistance against all the kufars who invade somalia. He promised to fight all invading forces. He said we must defend our deen, land, and country and is wajib on all muslims. That the Prophet (sas) wage jihad against the jews for one muslimah. subhanAllah
    .
    Now the New Sharif
    .
    The new Sharif is against jihad and resistance. And says bring peacekeepers from the AU. He also said we have two options: America’s or Allah’s and we have to accept americas terms because we are not ready for Allah’s. They are too strong and fighting won’t bring any good but more violence. He said you can’t bring peace with violence but through politics . Wa a’outhi billah.
    .
    This lair has changed so much. When he was the mujahideen he was one of the main guys calling for jihad against the kufars and the TFG. But after meeting his pay master in Kenya after the collapse of the Courts and tasted the dollars he did a 180 and sold his deen for a small price. May Allah give him what he deserves. Bullets and bombs no flowers or dancing girls. Bi’nillah ta’ala

    Al-Salaamu ‘Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,
    .
    Brothers and sisters I would like for us to remember some of the oft forgotten Mujahideen. Those of China, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Bosnia, etc. We should spread their message so they can see they have support outside of their own nations.
    .
    In the Philippines the umma has been oppressed in essentially every way you could think of. The Muslims there cannot get decent jobs, they cannot create them on their own, and they are not allowed to live in the better areas. On top of all that, the Catholics of the Philippines murder our brothers and sisters left and right. Not only do they kill them, but for some sick reason they eat the ears of those they kill. The ear of a Muslim is a delicacy to them. Send your du’a to these brothers and bring attention to their cause.
    .
    In Sri Lanka there is a civil war and both sides are bent on oppressing the Muslims. The Tamil Tigers want to kill/displace every single Muslim they can. They forcefully displaced Muslims in their zone of control, killing those who did not leave.
    .
    However, the people they are fighting are doing similar things to our brothers and sisters. The Sri Lankan government has now taken up a policy of denying aid to the Muslim refugees within their land in order to force them to move back home.
    .
    The only problem is that the Tamil Tigers still control their homes indirectly. The Tigers steal the children of Muslim families in order to raise them as soldiers of kufr. The families of Muslims are forced to choose between starvation and slavery. Keep them in your du’a and spread word of their cause.
    .
    This is but a sample of what your brothers and sisters are enduring below the interest of Western journalism. Please do your best to spread their cause and ask Allah ‘Azza wa Jal to aid them.

    Israeli Envoy: Attack on Gaza a ‘Preintroduction’ to Attack on Iran

    http://news.antiwar.com/2009/01/30/israeli-envoy-attack-on-gaza-a-preintroduction-to-attack-on-iran/

    After ordering a cameraman to turn off his camera, Israeli Ambassador to Australia Yuval Rotem engaged in a very frank discussion about the recent Israeli war in the Gaza Strip, calling it “a preintroduction” to an attack on Iran that Israel apparently expects within the year.

    Before the camera was turned off, Ambassador Rotem said “the best thing to do is to have a very open dialogue if there are no reporters or journalists here,” adding “I am far more reserved in the way I am saying my things (on camera).” Unbeknownst to him however Sarah Cummings, a reporter for Australia’s Seven News service, was actually in attendance at the meeting after having been “accidentally” invited.

    Israel has repeatedly threatened to attack Iran, and while its officials have repeatedly attempted to tie the Iranian government to its war on the Gaza Strip this is the first time one of their officials has publicly (if inadvertently so) suggested that the attack on the strip was a warm-up to its long talked about attack on Iran.

     Bismillah, as salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah

     @Um Umar I think that the hadeeth you quoted from Abu Moosa Al Asharee may not be sahih. The reason is that it goes against the majority of hadeeth which discuss the punishment in the grave and the entering into the hell fire. Remember the intercession of the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) he can only intercede for Muslims and they are taken out of the hell fire.

     @all please if you quote ayats and hadeeth please give references otherwise we are in danger of lying on the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) Exception is that if the hadeeth is well known then there is no need to give the reference and Allah knows best.

     Dear Brother Anwar,
     Dear Muslims,
     Asalam Aleikhum,
     Firstly, for us who do not have plastic money (credit card) – how do we contribute – from Africa? Please advice. If we can send money through money gram or Western Union or Bank Draft or Telegraphic Transfer.
     2nd. The news above, I did speak that we should run programme to detect such people i.e CIA under-cover officers and those spy for them within the community…
     3rd. I was told by Somalian brother that Sheikh Shareef was under-cover, I did not take this news to be serious, now we can see it was true. I also heard that when Sheikh Shareef was fighting with ICU, he told the brothers that he is going to fetch water but he runned away to Kenya and surrendered to Kenyan authorities and later to US officers with information. My brothers/sisters of Somali origin, this is the problem and your downfall of loving nonsense f Somalism and Nationalism than Islam. Somalism and day light of exercising ignorance of tribalism does not bring you anything than fitnah and curses. Judge according to Kitab of Allah and see where you are coming from, where you are and where you are going…
     Sheikh Anwar speaks clearly in the CD 10 (The Stories of the Prophets);when a person live under oppression for a long time, will loose his/her human dignity.. I am sorry to put this way but I see the way my fellow Somalis praise and love their Somali identity is not far different from the ignorance of the idiots Jews, the way idiots Jews believe that they are the superior than other races. This is wrong my fellow Somalis, and I speak with you with clean heart, what will you different or same from the rest of Africans is your faith Islam not the size of your noise or the texture of your hair.
     Islam First, Kitab first, Sunna First and put your ignorant baggage of your tribalism in the dust bin..if the Kufar has made it in Kenya,Uganda,Burundi,Rwanda – why not you and you learn from the best leader, the best of creation Muhammad SAW? You bring ashame to the Muslim Ummah, we were supposed to set the best examples on this earth from the Legacy of Prophets to the Campanions RA.
     With all due respect to my family the Mujahideen in Somalia, we always remember you in our duahs. Your examples will always be followed.
     Asalam Aleikhum.

     @Amiir Please do not be quick to make takfir on people. Erdogan did a right thing and he should be commended for that. As we all know Erdogan’s party (AK party) inherited a very very secular government and they are trying to Islamize it. I think it will take quite some time until they fully get rid of the secularists and establish shariah inshallah. http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2009/01/2009122144658967488.html

     AK party just like Hamas thought they could bring back shariah through democracy and negotiations. Because if they say we are islamic party (and not democratic) and we want to establish shariah, the whole party would be thrown out to the street next day. And the army would take over the country, as they did many times in the history. Perhaps their ijtihad in this situation is more nearer to truth and Allahu Aalam since we are not in their midst. But be sure that their intention is good Inshallah, because we can see it from many actions that they are trying to reverse in the system such as the hijab issue etc.

     We as muslims have to be aware of the political situation not only in our country but everywhere in the world, particularly in muslim countries. And to know who is governing the country and what are their real intentions. And to be able to differentiate the taghoot governments from the muslims.

     For example, when US wanted to attack Iraq, initially they wanted to use Turkey’s base, but Turkey didn’t want it. So they held many rounds of parliament talks until it was too late for US and US used the arab countries’ bases instead. I believe it was Qatar and Saudi?

     So, again let’s not divide among ourselves. But let’s unite and advise each other, especially those people who are on the haq should invite the ones who have weakness in their aqeedah.

     Those governments like Saudi, Egypt, Syria are clearly on kufr, no questions about that. But groups like Hamas and Turkey’s AK party are nearer to truth, so, they should be advised to be fully on haq and reject the kufr systems of the West. We have to be kind to our muslim brothers who have good intentions and harsh with the ones who befriend the enemies of Allah.

     May Allah guide us all.

     It’s time the Ummah realised that the rulers are the protectors of their enemy
     Saturday, 31 January 2009 08:43 Hizb ut-Tahrir
     بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

     O Muslims! Is not the time for you to realise that the Khilafah is your only refuge which can salvage you. Is it not time that you realise that your rulers are the protectors of your enemy and not your protectors?

     The Jewish entity began its barbaric attacks on Gaza on 27 December 2008, wherein it indulged in destruction and killing. It incinerated men, their pastures and their properties. Then on 17 January 2009, it announced a unilateral cease fire, only to create public opinion that it is the controlling power. It starts its brutal attacks whenever it wishes and stops them whenever and however it is convenient for it!

     Indeed the Jewish entity has done all of this whilst the rulers of the Muslim countries are busy counting the dead bodies and injured of the Muslims and some are not even doing this and they are not even bothered about it! Such rulers have used various deceptive and twisted means to transform the Palestinian issue from its real essence of being an Islamic issue into an Arab issue, then into a Palestinian issue and now it is reduced to a mere ‘Gazan’ issue! In this, they have been ably assisted by certain Palestinian organizations, who have used the Arab and Islamic summit resolutions calling for a withdrawal from Palestine and transformed this whole issue to a mere Palestinian issue.

     Moreover they made it appear as if it was a cause of celebration for Palestine, so the rulers could conceal their shame behind this ‘celebration’. As a result, none of the borders were opened to help the people of Gaza, neither of the neighbouring countries in the Golan Heights or Southern Lebanon or by Cairo, Riyadh, Amman etc. Nor were the so-called missiles claimed to be capable of reaching the Jewish entity from Pakistan or Iran fired. All this was done so that the ‘celebrations’ were not spoiled even while the Jewish entity perpetrated its massacre!

     O Muslims!
     Is it not shameful that these rulers indulge in negotiations and compromises with the Jewish entity and stoop before it in surrender? Is there any difference between stooping before the enemy and surrendering to it? Instead, it was their duty to eliminate the Jewish entity that has usurped Palestine!

     Is it not shameful that while Gaza is being massacred, the rulers have not mobilised their armies to help the people of Gaza, instead they are cashing in on their blood in their conferences and summits, which only end up in delivering to the Jewish entity that which it cannot achieve on the battle front?

     Is not a humiliation that this massacre simply ends in negotiations and conferences which ensure security for the Jews and stability for their state? And by massacres, we do not mean the ones in the battles where the Jewish entity was handed ‘victory’ by the cowardice of the rulers, rather, I mean those battles which the Jewish entity did not and could not win.

     The end of 1973 war during which the Egyptian army regained the Suez Canal and the Barlev Line and where the Jewish army had a taste of its deeds, yet this war was concluded by the Camp David agreement which detached Egypt from fighting with Israel and Egypt had to obtain permission of the Jewish entity to increase even one policeman patrolling its borders!

     Thus, under the Camp David agreement, the borders of the Jewish entity were completely secured on the Egyptian front! This was followed by the Wadi Araba Agreement of 1994 which further consolidated and fortified the effects of the earlier Camp David Agreement and secured the Jewish state’s borders on the Jordanian front.

     The impact at the end of the 1973 war on Syria was such that Syria which hitherto had controlled the low-lying areas in and around Tibriyyah, because it could fire from the strategic heights of the Golan, had to surrender the Golan Heights to the Jewish entity under the agreement and the Jewish entity still occupies the Golan which provides security to the Jews!

     Then came the conclusion of the 2006 war of Lebanon, during which rockets were fired by the resistance forces on the Jewish state’s targets which terrified their hearts. This resulted in the UNSC Resolution 1701 which ensured security for the Jewish entity from southern Lebanon and rendered the South Lebanon front cold and passive in the face of the Gaza massacre! Before this the South Lebanon front would become agitated and angered at every single act of killing however, insignificant it was!

     And now comes the most humiliating act of all. Resolution 1860 which is the result of the US- Jewish entity understanding which provides overall security to the Jewish entity from the seas and ground! This was further exacerbated by the effects of the Arab, Europe and Turkey crafted Sharm el Sheikh Accord which fortified the Jewish state’s security and placed an armed blockade on Gaza, whose people were already reeling under the excruciating effects of the earlier siege. All this occurred right under the noses of these rulers, because of their own efforts through the summits and conferences, to complete the siege and put the people of Gaza under even more hardship and harm.

     O Muslims!
     Despite the fact that the United States is leading these so-called peace plans that only support the Jewish entity, and even the Sharm el-Sheikh conference that was held on 18 January, 2009 was a result of the US- Jewish entity understanding reached on 16 January 2009. The Muslim countries rulers, the stooges of America, could not achieve anything at all, neither through war nor through peace.

     These rulers could hear the shrieks of the children, the painful wailing of the mother who lost her child, the grieving of the old and infirm and the call for help by those distressed and suffering and thousands of innocents, yet these rulers were not only deaf and blind to these, they remained silent. As if they understand nothing!

     Even after all of this, O Muslims, do you not understand that these rulers are not your protectors, but in fact protecting your enemy? Then do you not realize that anyone who promotes the idea that this entire problem of Palestine is merely a ‘Gazan’ issue is in fact indulging in pointless semantics and in effect spoiling the Palestinian cause?

     Do you think that it is possible to eliminate the Jewish entity and restore the entire land of Palestine to the fold of the Islamic lands? Do you think it is possible without a state that mobilizes its troops to fight the Jewish entity, defeat and eliminate its existence?

     Are these present predicaments that have already overwhelmed you not enough, O Muslims? The sufferings and humiliations that you suffer at the hands of these rulers on your neck should be reason enough for you to stand up with serious determination and dedication, so as to engage in the work to restore the Khilafah which will bring back your honour and pride and also ensure that help comes from Allah سبحانه وتعالى which will bring you the victory which you so much desire?

     And as for you, the soldiers of the Muslim armies, will you not as a kaffara (recompense) for your sins refuse to obey the orders of your treacherous rulers who are supporting the kuffar. Will you not rise up from your slumber to come to the rescue of the people of Gaza? Will you not stand up to these rulers and rise up to unseat them and help those who are working to establish the Khilafah? This will bring you pride and honour by realising the glad tidings of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم at your hands. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has given us the glad tidings of the return of the Khilafah, he said,

     ((… ثم تكون خلافةً على منهاج النبوة))
     “And then the Khilafah will return on the method of the Prophethood…”

     O Muslims!
     Our patience has run its course and the punishments of this world in terms of suffering and humiliation has reached its peak, to the extent that even those who are themselves condemned by Allah سبحانه وتعالى now dare to assault you.

     أَوَلاَ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَّرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لاَ يَتُوبُونَ وَلاَ هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
     “See they not that they are put in trial once or twice every year (with different kinds of calamities, disease, famine)? Yet, they turn not in repentance, nor do they learn a lesson (from it).” [al Tawbah: 9:126]

     O Muslims!
     This is a grave matter, but it should not frustrate you: you have two choices: Either remain quiet and passive and do nothing to unseat these rulers, whereby this humiliation and suffering will persist upon your necks at the hands of these very rulers who turn your victory into your surrender through their conferences and treaties, which only compounds your miseries in this world. And the punishment of the Day of judgement is even more severe, as Allah سبحانه وتعالى said:

     كَذَلِكَ الْعَذَابُ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
     “but truly, the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they but knew.” [al-Qalam, 68:33]

     Or the other option is that you stand up and mobilise yourself to remove these rulers and establish the rightly guided Khaleefah, behind which you fight and seek protection and, thereby eliminate the Jewish entity to restore the whole of Palestine to the fold of the Islamic land. This alone will restore your honour in this world and the hereafter.

     Hizb ut-Tahrir urges you and calls you Oh Muslims! The power and strength is with you if it is correctly directed. Your soldiers are your own sons, and they will be inspired by your motivation, why don’t you rise up and motivate them?

     O Soldiers!
     Hizb ut-Tahrir urges you, you are a living Ummah, the best Ummah who were raised for the benefit of the mankind right from the time when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم guided it and then the Khulafa al Rashideen led it after him. Remember your heroes, the mujahideen who were your forefathers who led the armies and spread Islam. They opened lands and cast fear and awe into the hearts of both the enemies and those who backed them.

     O Muslims! O the Muslim Soldiers!
     Stand up from your lethargy and come to aid of the people of Gaza and engage seriously in the honoured struggle to establish the Khilafah which will win you the honour of this world and in the hereafter. So do you respond? Do you respond positively?

     يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اسْتَجِيبُواْ لِلّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُم لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ
     “O you who believe! Answer Allâh (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] calls you to that which will give you life, and know that Allâh comes in between a person and his heart (i.e. He prevents an evil person to decide anything). And verily, to Him you shall (all) be gathered.” [al-Anfal, 8:24]

     O Ummah matam upon matam these murtad hinazeer imposed upon you by the guards dogs of shaytan.

     This is was has been the consequence of not supporting the mujahideen in removing these murtadeen.

     Ya imam awalki, ya Ummah what makes this more shameful is the reports this was all done in the US embassy in Algiers

     “Sex, rape and video at the U.S. embassy in Algiers,” wrote Algeria’s most influential French-language newspaper El Watan in a front page headline
     http://uk.reuters.com/article/burningIssues/idUKTRE50U12S20090131

     O soldiers of Allah, O Soliders of tawheed. Heal the chest of the believers through your hands.

     Cry in shame to the letter of Fatima from abu Guraib and and do as you are commanded by Allah.

     Aim the force of the ummah against the crusaders in the land of Hijaz,
     Aim it at the saudi sulooli regime.

     In the dua of ka’bab bin Araat (ra)
     Allah a-sum a-da-da (count them one by one)
     Wa qutiloo ba-da da (slay them one by one)
     a thabik min hum ahada (Spare not a single one from them)

     Like pharoah remember boy they killed your sons and they left your daughters (for their sick perverse fanasies).

     Ya mujahideen
     Qatala dawood wa jaloot wa ata ullah wa mulk wa hikmah..
     dye your hands with the dam of the jaloot so that Allah bestoys upon ur blessed head the Mulk (authority of sharia and khilafah).

     O Ummah the murtadeen and leaders of nifaaq are the obsticle in punishing the crusading enemies of Allah. Ya Ummah aim all that you can force against the murtadeen. Set Ablaze the land they walk on, spare not a single one from them..
     I swear with the quran on my head they are the obsticle in return of the khilafah…And the jihad which can be initiated on a state level…

     Ya imams on the mimbar of Nabi (saw) aim the anger and the boiling blood against the murtadeen.. let not the dust settle or the boiling blood of the ummah sizzle till the blast of tawheed eliminates them..
     “and incite the believers to fight”

     @ Brother spops, your right Im reading a new book and coming across hadith ive never read before, but this saying is backed up with many hadith , similar in meaning,your referring to the Zaahideen [love that word ] is not Allah the Master of language.
     the book Ive quoted before
     [ Book of the End , Great Trials and Tribulations, by Al- Hafiz Ibn Katheer Dimashqi, I thought the author spoke for himself, he states when a Hadith has a weak chain or is munka and I would print it.If theres a problem with the book please let me know.
     The topic is [ The Chains and Wordings of Ahaadeeth Related about The Intercession of the Believers For their Families ]
     its under The Intercession of Messenger of Allah saws). which is the The Greater Intercession .
     I’ll post more Hadith on both to settle your mind. This book is a continuation of Ibn Katheer’s history book Al Bidaayah Wan- Nihaayah, this volume is concerned with the future.

     The Greater Intercession
     Jaabir ibn Abdullah ra) related that the Messenger of Allah saws) said ; ” My intecession on the Day of Ressurection is for the perpetrators, from my nation, of major sins.”( related by Al Baihaqee)
     In another narration , Jaabir ra) related that the Messenger of Allah saws) recited; S 21;28

     [ And they cannot intercede except for him whom He is pleased. And they stand in awe for fear of Him. ]

     He saws) then said ” My intercession is for the perpetrators, from my nation, of the major sins” ( related by Al Baihaqee ) Al Haakim said . ‘This hadith is authentic’
     Al Baihaqee said ” The apparent meaning of it indicates that intecession for the perpetrators of major sins is granted only to Prophet Muhammed saws)
     but not for those who committed Shirk , and not for the Disbilievers .
     The Angels can only intercede for the people of minor sins and for raising the degrees in Paradise. Alaihu Ahleem

     It doesn’t negate the punishment of the grave or the punishment of the fire but as far as I know refers to the hadiths about the believers that anyone who has a atoms weight of Emaan will eventually enter Paradise and Allah is the Most Merciful we cannot comprehened His Mercy as we cannot comprehend many aspects of the deen as we are limited in our compacisity to understand many things.Allah forgive me if ive made a mistake

     Some Ahaadeeth Which mention that the Believers Will Intercede for Their Families.
     Abu Sa’eed ra) related that the Messenger Of Allah saws) said ” Verily from my nation are such men that one from them will intercede for a group of people , who will all enter Paradise through his intercession. And a man will intercede for a tribe, and they will enter Paradise through his intercession. And a man from them will intercede for a man and his family , so they will enter Paradise through his intercession ( related by At Tirmidhee and Al Baihaqee) Al Bazzar related it with his own chain, with this wording ( Indeed a man will intercede for two or for three.)

     Sabhan Allah as I was reading this next hadith my son Uthman walked through the door unexpectantly

     Abdullah ibn Shaqeeq Al Uqailee said , I sat with a group from the Prophets saws) Companions, and among them was Abdullah ibn Abee Al Jadaa ra) He said ” I heard the Prophet saws ) say, ” Through the intercession of a man from my nation, more than Banu Tameem will enter Paradise ‘They said ( He is other than you Rasul Allah saws) He said “(he is other than me ,)”
     Related by Muhammed ibn Yousef Al Firyaabee) Firyaabeesaid ” It is said that he is Uthmaan bin Affaan ra) Through various chains it is also related by AT Tirmidhee, Al Baihaqee, ibn Maajah, and others . And At Tirmidhee said , Hasan Saheeh /// Alaihu Aleem

     Saalam,

     Maghi85 is most likely not a muslim, it’s probably that Bangali guy who came here and spread propaganda about Muslim, because ‘maghi’ is a curse word in Bangali.

     Thank you for posting this article.
     The sheikh did mention that the CIA agent was a “convert” to Islam, but his status as “CIA” agent disqualifies his faith. Please read carefully and look up the ruling on “spying on Muslims”.

     The standard for Muslim and kuffars are different, yes what the women did was stupid, but it is not kufr and thus they are still considered Muslim.

     May Allah protect us from the Kuffars and the hypocrites amongst our rank and may He help our cause. May Allah the Most High awaken our conscience. Ameen

     As an example, Anas reported from the Prophet (saw) “Whoever treads on a path in search of Islamic knowledge, Allah will ease the way to Paradise for him; the angels will lower their wings, pleased with this seeker of knowledge, and everyone in the heavens and on earth will ask forgiveness for the knowledgeable person, even the fish in the deepest of waters will ask for his forgiveness. The superiority of the knowledgeable man over the worshipper in Islam, is like the superiority of the full moon over the rest of the planets. And the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets, but the Prophets did not leave behind wealth but they left behind knowledge. And whoever takes firm hold of this is a very fortunate man.” (Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, Tirmidhi #2835 – sahih hadith)

     As-Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu.

     This story isn’t even worth mentioning, Br. Anwar! The headline, itself, is a lie. “Muslims” drinking alcohol and rapes happen….wow, I never saw that coming!
     The murtad convert “Station Chief of CIA” is a spy against Muslims in a Muslim majority land. He held parties and drank alcohol….it makes me wonder if he was really a convert at all. I, myself, am a convert to Islam and when I lived in the US I would never even dare touch a bottle of mouthwash! Murtad, murtad, murtad: The women and the CIA Station Chief!
     I am sick of hearing stories about deviant, arrogant, retarded, fake Muslims! Let’s start a REAL Muslim country with 100% Sharia law already! Seriously, we need a central religious authority to end this kind of garbage!
     I guess in the case of the CIA Chief being a convert, he must have thought the word “Revert” was a mix between the words “Retard” and “Pervert”.

     So Sister Um Umar.. I agree with you we can not wait till the caliphate.. the sword of Allah must be shone in the faces of the kafireen, murtadeen and their ahle nifaaq. Only then will the victory of Allah come. Unity is through Jihad.. Nabi (saw) did warn you disgrace and become like scum on water if we leave the jihad..
     The objective of posting a copy of the Hizbi global leaflet is to motivate and energise the brother to work with each other..and to assist each other to punish and topple the murtadeen. and Raise the tawheed over the murtadeen.
     “and when dawood slayed jaloot We (Allah) bestowed upon him the Mulk (authority) and the hikmah (nabuwah) [tmq al quran]

     Wallah-he I Only see the hizb and the jihadi brothers as the solution tothe ummah.. and their difference are very minute.. and the hizb will not condemn the jihadist and vise versa.. they are like the example of Harun (as) with Musa (as).
     May ALlah unite their hearts and aim their aim for the murtadeen.
     blessed is his (saw) lips which said
     “IRMEE S’aad IR’MEE S’aad. Faidika abi wa ummi”

     “Fire S’ass Fire S’aad May I (Rasool-Allah (saw)) sacrifice my mother and father for you”

     Allah U Akbar….
     YA Ummah I swear my Allah i feel the victory from Allah is near.. so increase in your effort to seek pleasure of Allah.

     So our sisters get raped and we get upset at them? Just because these Muslim sisters may go under the heading of ’sinners’ doesn’t mean we can justify an act of a kafir raping them!

     I think everyone is misunderstanding the article. This isn’t a usual rape case. A high ranking US official raped women who were Muslims. An American man raping an American woman is just messing up with your own kind, but when you start to go beyond that, you are starting a war.

     Our sisters may have not been the smartest or the most pious in this case, but we as Muslims will not stand by and watch while a disbeliever punishes them.

     And anyway, nowhere does it say that it was an alcoholic drink. It could’ve been juice or whatever. He clearly put rape drug in them.

     This was a party that was held for the locals. Maybe it was to celebrate his conversion. And these sisters went together with the locals. And then lost conscious as he must’ve planned this out before. And he took advantage of them.

     We need to stick together and cover up each other shortcomings. We dont let disbelievers come and meddle in our affairs. We can handle ourselves.

     @ Rashad. Agreed 100%.
     An article about the rape of woman Prisoner 650 ( not Afia Siddiqi) at notorious Bagram prison in Afghanistan would have been worth mentioning. Sister Yvonne Ridley has initaited a documentary film to be released shortly on that prisoner 650. Subhanallah, Sister Yvonne was the only Muslim reported to have gone to Guantanamo and later to Pakistan in quest for more details on that prisoner 650. Sister Yvonne has defied all odds by her trip to Guantanamo where no Muslim leader dared to go and she has exposed the connivance of Muslim leaders in trafficking innocent Muslims falsely labeled as terrorists and interned in inhuman conditions at Gitmo aka Gulag and other facilities around the world in the so called war on terror. Unfortunately so called Muslim leaders in US especially of ISNA have accused her of being “extremist”. They ridiculed her saying “that woman who embraced Islam under the Taliban”. Astaghfirullah

     Please read this link about the prisoner 650:

     Why Arabs Hate West? Fisk Answers

     “What is amazing is that so many Western leaders, so many presidents and prime ministers and, I fear, so many editors and journalists, bought the old lie; that Israelis take such great care to avoid civilian casualties,” British journalist Robert Fisk wrote in the Independent on Wednesday, January 7.
     “Had George Bush had the courage to demand an immediate ceasefire 48 hours earlier, those 40 civilians, the old and the women and children, would be alive,” said Fisk, using an earlier death toll.

     “What happened was not just shameful. It was a disgrace. Would war crime be too strong a description? For that is what we would call this atrocity if it had been committed by Hamas.”

     “And of course, when an Arab bestirs himself with unrestrained fury and takes out his incendiary, blind anger on the West, we will say it has nothing to do with us.

     “Why do they hate us, we will ask? But let us not say we do not know the answer.” Fisk added.

     @ Zakariya
     In the case of Sri Lanka Muslims has forgotten the JIHAD the one of the main duty in Islam. Leading scholars in Island giving fatawa that Jihad is not necessary. And Leading Islamic Movements like Thableekh Jamath, Jamath e Islami, Tawheed, DNA etc., doesn’t promoting Jihad or not even talks about it. So it’s a punishment from Allah swt. This will remain until we back to our original Deen that is JIHAD.

     I’ll give you few example, recently in Moodoor our Muslim brothers and sisters killed and thrown out of the land but no Muslim went for fighting and to retrieve the land of the Muslim. Similarly In North LTTE killed our Muslim brothers and sisters and thrown out from the land and no Muslim went for Jihad. All our leading scholars still giving fatawa that Jihad is not need at this moment, so I wonder when this Jihad will become a farl.

     But am sure Jihad will start soon in Sri Lanka but not by a Sri Lankans definitely by Arab brothers or Afghani or Chechniyan

     oh, and one more thing…

     it’s really nice to see that we’re on the issue of physical violence against muslim women, because this is a BIG problem that exists in the muslim world….muslim men raping muslim women…not just western CIA agents raping women at a party.

     and it’s a nice thing these women weren’t living in afghanistan…because the man would have either been pardoned, or the women would have been stoned.

     our ummah is in a such a sorry state. As soon as we wake up and take the blindfold off of our eyes, the happier we will all be.

The enermy is clear , now we just have to deal with it, so maybe thats what this munkar story is all about how do we deal with the problem ? We can Talk and Talk ,Arabs are very good at Talking but Their must be a plan.

     @ syed Quth ii , Amin you said the Haqq Allah in His wisdom is sorting out the people. I dont belong to any group and never have I only follow the [ Millata Ibrahiima hanifaa ] and Allah wants us as one body, and Allah is forming that one body to slice the enermies head with that one sword.
     @spops Masha’Allah I love that Hadith,Ive heard the saying that Islam is a religion without people and Christianilty is a people without religion , meaning no solid guidance for Christains, so when your brought up with no solid guidance and I was brought up by a religious mother, still there is no guidance like the Holy Quran , the two can not be compared and when you finally obtain that guidance after a long struggle, you never want to let it go its a matter of life or death .

     Aslam alaikum my beloved and blessed brothers and sisters, May Allah Ta’la keep you all in the finest health and the strongest emaan and May we seek the protection with our Rubb from nifaq, laziness and fear from His creation.

     Brothers and sisters Fear is only for Allah and Love is only for Allah!.

     As we live in the uk, or europe, or in the west, we everyday see our brothers and sisters being harmed and slaughtered, the way we slaughter chicken. They are eaten like fat sheep by the hungary wolves, meanwhile we are sitting and waiting.. but remember brothers and sisters we will all die, everyone living today will perish,..

     “While we were with the Messenger of Allâh (saw) he suddenly looked towards a group (of people) and said: “For what reason have they gathered here?” It was said, “In order to dig a grave”. So the Messenger of Allâh (saw) became alarmed and startled and he quickly went ahead of the Companions until he reached the grave, then he knelt upon it and I turned my face towards him (saw) in order to see what he was doing. He (saw) cried until the earth became wet with his tears, then he turned to us and said, “O my brothers! Prepare for a day like this” Bukhari

     May dear brothers and sisters – we all know we will die, but let us PREPARE and PRAY, we can die in the best way with honour and dignity, by making Allah’s law the Highest.

     May Allah forgive me, May Allah Forgive me, for sitting and doing nothing.

     “One day during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allâh (saw) the sun eclipsed, so he stood and prayed, until it seemed as though he wouldn’t go into rukoo, then he went into rukoo (for such a long time) that it seemed as if he wouldnt raise his head, then he raised his head. He remained (in that position) and it seemed as if he wouldn’t go into sujood, then he made sajdah, and (he remained in that position) until it seemed as if he wouldn’t raise his head, then he raised his head and it seemed as if he wouldn’t go into sujood again, then he made sajdah, until it seemed as if he wouldn’t raise his head again. Then he began to breathe heavily and weep, saying, “Lord, didn’t You promise me that You wouldn’t punish them while I am amongst them? Lord didnt You promise me that You wouldn’t punish them whilst they seek forgiveness from you, and we seek forgiveness from you?”. When he had finished praying two rak’ah, the sun eclipse had cleared and he (saw) got up and praised and glorified Allâh and then he said: “The sun and the moon are two signs from among the signs opf Allâh, they do not eclipse because of the death or life of anyone. So if you see them eclipse, then hasten to the remembrance of Allâh” an-Nasai and abu dawood.

     Asalamu alaikum wa rahmatu Allah wa barakatuh
     I live in Mumbai,India. 7 years back, march 2002, after the anti muslim riots in gujarat state, my abbau was falsily accused of being a terrorist & arrested. The cops then agrees to release my abbu from jail on the condition that my ammi & aapa(elder sister) have sex with some politicians & government officers. I was just 14 at that time but I cannot forget the day 5 hindu men entered our home at midnight & took my ammi & aapa to the bedroom. I was too young to understand what was happening, but when i heard my ammi & aapa moaning loudly i became curious & quietly entered the bedroom. What i saw then is still embedded in my mind as if it was just yesterday. The 5 men raped them for nearly 3 hours before they left.
     But things did not end there. This continued for 15 days & each day different men would come. Finally they let my abbu go without charge. But things did not stop here, the cops made sure our hindu neighbors know of the sexual conquest the cops had with our family ladies. Then hindu men from our neighborhood started to harass my ammi & aapa. Since my abbu didn’t know of the agreement my ammi made with the cops, she couldn’t complain to him, also she feared the cps might be helping our neighbors.
     My ammi was 35 years old at the time & my aapa just 17, probably because of their young age and their lack of worldly knowledge, they succumbed to the evil plans of the kafirs. From the year 2002 to 2007 I was but a mute spectator to the sexual perversion & orgies that continued in our home. Finally I asked my father to move to a muslim dominated locality from the hindu majority area we were living in. It was only then that this bad dream came to an end. My abbu still doesn’t know what went on behind his back & I still cannot come to terms with what i have been seeing all these years. may allah guide me to the right path.

     S 47;4 Now when ye meet in battle those who dibelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterwards either grace or ransom till the war lays down its burdens. That [ Is the ordinance ] And if Allah willed He could have punished them , but [ that is ordained] that He may try some of you by means of others. And those slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.

     @ Jihadfeesabililah , its been awhile, Amin , Insha’Allah you too will be from the people of Elleyeen .
     @strangers , Jazakiallahkeir for the reminder of death ,In the name of Allah, may you and we all die an honourable death

     Ibn Mubarak narrates from Wuhaib bin Al Ward that Zakariya could not find his son Yahya for three days , so he went in search of him. He found him in a grave he dug himself, and stayed in it weeping on himself. Zakariya said ” O my son! I have been looking for you for the last three days, and here you are in a grave you dug yourself, and weeping in it? Yahya replied “O father! Did not yourself tell me that between Jannah and Hell there is only one crossing which cannot be crossed except by the tears of the weepers? Zakariya said ,then ” Weep my son, and they both cried together.

     sura 29, ayahs 2-7

     Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, “We believe”, and that they will not be tested?
     We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.
     Do those who practise evil think that they will get the better of Us? Evil is their judgment!
     For those whose hopes are in the meeting with Allah (in the Hereafter, let them strive); for the term (appointed) by Allah is surely coming and He hears and knows (all things).
     And if any strive (with might and main), they do so for their own souls: for Allah is free of all needs from all creation.
     Those who believe and work righteous deeds,- from them shall We blot out all evil (that may be) in them, and We shall reward them according to the best of their deeds.

     @At a party /// This life is not ment to be happy for a believer and we are well aware of the munka that exist in our ummah
     Men who do those evil acts are not fearing Allah and Allah does punish them in this life , and also in the next if He wills . These acts often result from an ignorance or absence of Islam.
     The degrading of Muslim women by Muslim men is more often than not a result of negative cultural thinking towards women , that exist in many countries all over the world . And with the absence of Taqwa of Allah in our legal system their will not be justice for any oppressed Muslim .
     All our ills can be derived from lack of Islamic knowledge , Islamic Taqwa and Islamic Aqeeda, Ahkam Shariyah
     So Insha”Allah when we establish the Khalifah and implement the Shariah all over the world then mankind will at least know that they will get justice
     but until then we must work in our own communities to promote Maruf and wipe out Munka and we have the the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Mohummed saws)as our weapons against munka .
     Allah help us all to support the oppressed and needy in our ummah and you men have a major role in this if you claim you Love Allah and His Prophet saws) As Allah has put you [ men] a degree above women then you must act accordingly.

     Assalamu alaikum ya fadhilatul Shaikh,

     You are truly pointing out a hidden fact, which is that the presence of these kuffar imperialists in our lands will eventually lead to all sorts of fitna such as this incident. I cringe at the thought of what their soldiers may be trying to get away with while in Iraq and Afghanistan without the Ummah’s knowledge. According to the Taguba Report filed for Congress there were images taken in Abu Ghraib of the sexual abuse of female detainees, including one of a female Iraqi inmate getting raped! These images have not found their way into the public realm unlike those depicting abuse of male detainees. One compelling reason is because of the severe backlash the imperialists would face from the entire Ummah (as well as many non Muslim societies) over the entire Iraq debacle which is already highly unpopular. In Afghanistan also I worry that there may be abuses going on that we are not privy to at least not yet.

     What’s interesting is that these Kuffar have the audacity to project themselves publically to the Ummah and the world at large that they are abiding by the morals of the Islamic countries that they occupy. In public at least they like to show that their military doesn’t allow actions that would offend their “hosts’” sensibilities such as alcohol consumption and sexual harassment and propositioning of local Muslim women. All these public endeavors are just a farce however and are meant to hide what they really do when no one is looking, such as what happened in Algeria.

     Until we the members of the Muslim Ummah choose to return to the Right Path completely and take charge of our own affairs by expelling the incompetent rulers ruling us and establishing Islam as the source of all our political, economic, social, and military policies, we will start hearing a flood of grievous offenses committed by the Kuffar upon our people within our lands. And these offenses won’t just include rape and sexual molestation but also robbery (of our resources) and cold blooded murder as well of innocent civilians, which will then be termed “collateral damage”.

     that’s a really silly article
     Mr. Somali is the only one who raised a good point. You can’t expect good protection at parties and while one is drinking… there are Muslim men who also rape women… i.e. women who don’t goto parties and don’t drink…
     i just think Anwar Awlaaki has no other agenda but to spread hatred for the western people as a whole which as unIslamic as the west itself

     @ maghi85

     I don’t believe Sheikh Awlaki was spreading hatred for Western people in general through this article. As Muslims whose responsibility is to give Da’wah to all we should show any signs of hatred towards individuals who are not Muslim; instead we should treat them with compassion and pity and pray for their guidance. What the sheikh was talking about was the mischievous plots of the powerful Kuffar leaders from the West who are colluding with the powerful leaders of Muslim societies in order to subjugate the Ummah and her bountiful resources. We should be wary of these people not the average nonMuslim joe.

     As for what you said about drinking and partying and the consequences of that, I agree with you that it’s wrong for someone to engage in haraam and then complain about the negative consequences they face as a result of that. Right now we don’t know too much of the whole story thanks to it being related by Western media, which we know to be quite biased against Muslims. If it turns out that these sisters did engage in committing haraam actions prior to being raped then yes they should know by now that you only reap what you sow.

     There are bad eggs in every society and that’s why even in Islamic societies, punishments are awarded to perpetrators of such crimes.
     But there’s much more sanity in the muslim ummah than what you have in every single western society…the degeneration in western societies is worse than in animal jungles!
     And what’s your evidence that if they were to be from Afghanistan they’d be stoned and thier offenders would be set free.I don’t know where yuo’r coming from but i imagine your comment to be spurious and based on the much discredited western propaganda.
     Anyway,we care less!When the Ummah finally come under the rule of Allah’s Laws,these aberrations will be reduced to its barest minimum,insha Allah.And that’s what the mujahids are struggling for aside from defending against modern crusades.

     Zakariya,
     This list of oppressed muslims also include those in Turkmenistan to whom the cursed chinese govt.has consistently given hell… Indeed there’s no protection except with Allah and i believe He is aware of the sufferings and cries of the oppressed.
     In truth Allah’s with His people and He’s purifying their ranks with these trials;how many shall attain eternal bliss through these occurences.
     These are times for those true to their covenant to persevere in justifying their faith;these are not matters that have increased us in knowledge for He(swt) has promised us trials and it’s upon us to bear such with patience till we meet Him or He gives us victory in this world.
     Who are we and how special can we be that we see ourselves above these trials when the Rasul was not exempted!He(SAW) lost his kids,wife and associates…The sahabas were tortured,dispossesed and ridiculed…
     Were we meant to live on earth forever,we’d definitely meet the Rasul right here.But he left for a better place and that should be the object of every mu’min irrespective of wordly pleasures or calamities.
     May Allah keep us firm.

     One of the 44 ways of supporting Jihad given by our Sh. Anwar was reading/learning about the fitan of the end of times. I’m sure more of you know this, but Ibn Katheer has a book on this and I found for a good price if anyone is interested in buying it.

     http://islamicbookstore.com/b9244.html

     Inshallah we could learn lessons from past fitan so we could benefit and strengthen ourselves with it, also we’ll know what lies ahead for us just before our victory (may Allah (swt) give victory to Islam during our time). Ameen

It’s so degrading and embarassing that a kaffir would rape a muslim woman in a muslim land and the only fear he has is to be convicted by a kaffir government because he has immunity in the Muslim government. its inhumane, our so called leaders have failed us the only solution is to uproot them as they can’t even speak out of something without first clarifying with the enemy of Allah. May Allah show them the haq, if not may Allah help us uproot them and give us something better. amin

     dear imam and shaykh brother Anwar, assalaam alaykum, may the Peace, Blessings and Mercy of Allah be upon you and upon the believers and may the Peace, Blessings and Mercy of Allah be upon our Beloved Messenger of Allah(Salli Alaihi Taslima) Oh you who believe send blessings and salutations upon the Messenger! and pray for Allah’s Mercy on him. Oh our beloved imam may Allah preserve you and guard you from the evil of the munafeeqeen and that of the enemies of Islam, amin and may Allah grant victory to the believers, the inheritors of his ardh. Oh imam and brothers and sisters, i am wondering if these so called muslim women raped were those who disguised themselves as the kuffar women and not sisters who followed the deen and dressed appropriately by the islamic standards, Allah forbid! You are all well aware that are many of those muslim women who desire to immitate the disbeliving women in their actions, dress and lifestyle, they are those who have given up faith and bought with it misery for themselves and in turn, they get raped by a probable murtad or a hypocrite under the cloak of a “muslim.” as far as i am concerned i know perfectly and well that a sister who is on the deen and dresses in accordance to the sunnah of our beloved Messenger of Allah (saws), she will not be looked upon nor get to the point of being treated and abused in this manner! this is shameful, besides that there is no real men nowadays who can stand up and defend the honor of our muslim women whereas they are in algria or as far as iraq or afghanistan EXEPT that only one out of a few will stand up against the disbelivers and fight with his life to prevent his womenfolk and family from being raped by the filthy disbelivers. May Allah streghthen the Mujahedeen and make their feet firm on the earth and may Allah shake the muslims from their sleep with a mighty shake just as the sahabah had their faith shaken in the battle of the trench! this is what the muslims need. Forget and put aside the old generation for they are unable to help at all. It’s time for the new generation to rise up and counteract and to plan! as it has been said, at the end, there will be a group who will be the best of the ummah has ever seen and their rewards will be of 50 companions of the Prophet(saws). Also it is true that the ones who want to make Hajj and Hijrah for the sake of Allah are unable while the ones filthy rich are able to do it as if it were a past time and it is so true that Zakah has become as a burden to the people. To tell you the truth i have witnessed it in the past 3 years as a muslim and it is a shame that muslims cannot loose open their wallets nor pockets despite they live in America! Oh imam, may the curse of Allah follow the disbelievers and may Allah clear the muslims innosence and rid the disbelievers out of the muslim land.

May Allah allow us to follow also the footsteps of our great Sahabah. The likes of AbuBakr,Umar,Uthman.Ali, Muwawia, Abu Huraira, Bilal, Abu Musa, Abu Ubaidah, the lion Hamza, the Sword of Allah Khaleed, SaadAbiWaqas, Talha,Zubair, and all the many Sahabah (R.A)
     May Allah protect you all, strengthen our emaan, increase us in Taqwa!

     May Allah give us many examples of the great lions in our Deen,…
     Abu Turab al Pakistani lion from the lions of Allah, his heart was tied to jihad at an early stage, so when he saw his ability to fight he went forth to Kashmeir, and fought the cow worshipers sitting on the chest of the wounded Muslims. As the winds of jihad were taking the morning and night, Abu Turab had a date with depature for the homeland of glory… Afghanistan! Subhan’Allah Allah Ta’la blessed brother Abu Turab Rahimullah with many blessings, and achieved all the qualities needed for a Mujaahid. Allah Ta’la chooses these blessed people and then tests them, of them our blessed abu Turab..
     He Allah have Mercy upon him, loved the sittings of knowlegde and preachings, was bright faced, good natured, determined, and constantly pray to and beseech ALLAH, the Glorious and Great.

     Allahuma ansur ikhwaan alal Muslimeen fi kulli makaan…

     He was known for his bravery, courage and wisdom, he was an amir on the kabul front and when the Mujahideen made an reinforcement on the kandahar front, the champion travelled there as an Amir and commander of a group of the helpers brigade. He may Allah have Mercy upon him, took part in many battles and led the groups by himself. And when the war raged and troubles intensified, you would find him to be a noble champion…
     upon occasion in the battlefield, the strong point was the takbeer ‘AllahAkbar’ its hard to explain in words, the power and the effects, the entire group is on one side, and abu turab on the other, and his Takbeer was more Powerful!

     After completing his preparation for an operation, he spent the night at that place, where he fell victim to a hateful air strike… the Mujahideen’s beloved recieved his Martyrdom,
     and he passed away and parted from this world, with his smile which would stay with him always!…
     So May Allah have Mercy on you, o Abu Turab and may He (SWT) accept you into His extensive Gardens of Paradise….

     How many a people die but their merits live on, and how many people live and that might aswell be dead…

And the Dominion of my nation will reach that which was folded from it. And I have been given two treasures, the red [gold] and the white [silver]. And I ask my Lord to not have my nation destroyed by a pervasive drought and to not give an enermy, from other than their own selves, reign over them by [ allowing them ]to uproot their Baidah [ their society and their core place of rule ]
     And indeed my Lord Azza wa Jall said ” O Muhammed, Indeed if I decree a matter, then it is not retuned [ or prevented ]. And I have granted you for your nation that I will not destroy them by a pervasive drought and I will not give reign to an enermy, from other than their own selves, over them [ and that they will not] uproot their Baidah. [ and this ] even if those from all areas gather over them, [ over the Muslims ] so that some destroy one another and imprision one another.[ though the two said request where granted Muslims will be afficted by internecine struggles] ; Indeed all that I fear over my nation are MISGUIDING IMAMS .
     If the sword is placed in my nation, it will not be raised from them until the day of Ressurection. And the Hour will not arrive until tribes from my nation betake themselves to the Mushrikeen and until tribes from my nation worship idols. And there will be in my nation 30 liars, each one of them claiming that he is a Prophet, but I am the seal of the Prophets, there is no Prophet after me.
     And a group from my nation [ us insha'Allah ] will remain victorious upon the truth; those who oppose them will not harm them until the matter of Allah Azza wa Jall arrives [ near the hour the souls of all believers will be taken.

     assalaam alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu,

     Dear Brother and sisters

     As terrible as this is to hear about the sisters and what happened and I will not judge them drinking or being in a haram place, if indeed it is true. We should make as many excuses for them as possilble as it is between them and Allah (swt) because only Allah (swt) knows best and the truth of the matter and what is in their hearts.

     The blame for this and many other calamities within the ummah such as this does not lay with them but with us.It is us who are not fulfilling our duties, it is us who are not uniting ourselves as we have been ordered, it is us who clinging hopelessly to the this dunya for fear of losing our wealth and and fear of causing the death of our loved ones. Therefore if we love these things more than we love Allah (swt) then this is the price of our disobedience. The price of jenna and success here is that we are prepared to commit those thing back to he one who actually created them, Allah (swt). When we understand that they do not belong to us and the only disposer of our affairs is Allah then Allah (swt) will give us the victory.

     The prophet (saw) said that if we stop ruling with the sharia and do not implement the rule of Allah(swt) this has never happened before with out Allah (swt) splitting us into groups and sending a force to rule over us.

     It is clear that when we apply the sharia and are prepared to do so by fighting munkar and opposing the dhalim/kafir leaders without fear of loss of worldy things including our families and loved ones we are promised success. But, the price is great but compared to the reward it is nothing because the rewrd is the greatest success, jenna. Insha’allah.

     Let us move our energy from looking at others like the Americans, Jews and the west. They are only doing what they are meant to be doing that is being the hizbu shaytan. What are we doing? Are we doing what we should be doing? Are we prepared to lose our lives and wealth and families for the sake of Allah (swt) and his sharia. Until we are prepared to leave these things to the will of Allah (swt) and do our part how can we expect anything better or greater than what our efforts are equal to. If we love dunya more than we love Allah (swt) then we will be rewarded with death and disgrace in this life and in the hereafter. We must examine our efforts and intentions and stop looking at what the hizbu shaytan is doing they are doing their job to the best of their abilities so why aren’t we looking out for our duties to the best of our abilites.

     assalaam alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu

     YouTube Partners with MOSSAD
     Sunday, 28.12.2008, 06:31am (GMT)

     YouTube has reached out to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for its expertise in dealing with hate on the Internet. In one outgrowth of that partnership, the League is now a contributor to YouTube’s newly launched Abuse & Safety Center, where users are empowered to identify and confront hate, and to report abuses.

     The YouTube Abuse & Safety Center features information and links to resources developed by ADL to help Internet users respond to and report offensive material and extremist content that violates YouTube’s Community Guidelines on hate speech. …

     The YouTube Abuse & Safety Center was unveiled on December 11 at the annual conference of the Family Online Safety Institute in Washington D.C. and can be found at http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/request.py?contact_type=abuse.

     I know it sounds too weird to believe, but that’s the news. YouTube now has on-board one of the US’s domestic branches of Israel’s intelligence service, the Mossad. The ADL, the Mossad’s most “professional” organizations whose “speciality is spreading hate”, are recruited as a professionals in the just struggle of “fighting against hate”?!

     This partnership has many dimensions and should not be taken lightly.

     1. As YouTube is one of the most viewed websites worldwide, controlling it means controlling the minds of hundreds of millions of its viewers. This is significant if we look at last year’s YouTube report in which Harris Interactive said,

     about 32 percent of frequent YouTube users are watching less TV as a result of the time they spend online. Of the frequent YouTube users, 66 percent claim they are sacrificing other activities when on YouTube, including other websites (36 percent), time spent watching TV (32 percent),…

     It is also significant if we know that about 700,000 people do watch the YouTube concert at its peak. Imagine you are in control and show one pro-Zionist and anti-Arab/anti-Islam ad during the show.

     A couple of days ago, in continuing its dominance of online video, Comscore announced these astonishing figures:

     YouTube reached a record 99.5 million visitors in October, according to comScore. How dominant is that? The report indicates that, in total, 147 million people watched video online in the US during the month, meaning better than 2 in 3 watched it using a Google property. Overall, growth in online video remains robust, increasing 45 percent from last year to 13.5 billion total monthly views.

     Knowing all the above facts and knowing what ADL stands for makes one ‘feel sick to one’s stomach’. It means that hundreds of millions of Americans and others around the world are now going to be officially brainwashed by the Mossad and under censorship for everything they say, upload, document and view on YouTube.

     2. From now on, you should expect that no more videos that are anti-Zionist, anti-Israel, anti-war and anti-war crimes to be shown for more than the few hours (if lucky enough) after you upload your video. Sooner or later – and the period depends how critical the video is – all will be tagged with the infamous “anti-Semitism” tag and will be removed, ultimately the user will be blocked and banned. In no time, YouTube will become the official oasis for Mossad, therefore, only the Zionist version of the story will be found and endorsed by the media that follows blindly. I regret to break this news to you, but from now on Israel controls the most influential and powerful alternative media. No more “Israel crimes” to be seen or found and only pro-Zionist, pro-Israel users will continue to control the media, not only conventional, but online.

     3. No more 9-11 facts, especially these connected to Israel, and they are countless. These videos and documentaries were and still are, some of the most powerful eye openers for millions who would like and need to know the hidden facts behind 9-11. The same facts which the US puppet government tried to hide from its citizens and the world. Searching YouTube (at least now, before the ADL manages to remove them all) for Israel connection to 9-11 will reveal hundreds of hours of documentaries that no one should miss if s/he really cares to know the truth behind 9-11. “What are you doing putting this stuff out there? You’re killing us!” These were the words of Abraham H. Foxman, Executive National Director of the infamous Anti-Defamation League. Foxman shouted this during a sit-down he demanded to have with an unnamed Fox News executive shortly after Sept. 11.

     4. The “New Era” will flourish the anti-Arab, anti-Islam, anti-Christ, pro-Neocon and pro-Nazi videos. ADL is widely known for all the above and are specialized in it. Their history is full of cases that flip facts and spread hate. Who can forget that after Islam, Arab and anyone who criticizes the Zionist, it was the turn of Christ and Christians. Abraham H. Foxman (ADL National Director) once told Christians that they should deny part of the historical facts and rip out some parts of the Bible. In other words, change Christian faith so they are not labelled anti-Semitic! Another example of Foxman was slamming only Muslim Congressman.

     Israel hints at curbing Turkey arms deals

     A senior Israeli official says Tel Aviv is likely to reject an arms order by Ankara after the Turkish prime minister’s Davos remarks.

     An Israeli defense ministry official told The Jerusalem Post that several Turkish requests for purchasing advanced military platforms, which were recently submitted to the Defense Ministry will need to be reviewed due to the change in political ties.

     “Just like we don’t sell advanced military platforms to Jordan and Egypt, we may decide not to sell to Turkey,” the official told the daily.

     The official, however, did not reveal what new military platforms Turkey had requested.

     The relations between Ankara and Tel Aviv began to strain after Turkish officials started criticizing Israel’s 23-day war in the Gaza Strip. The tension between the two side reached its peak after Erdogan stormed out of the Davos forum in front of Israeli President Shimon Peres and UN chief Ban Ki-moon.

     Before marching off the stage, Erdogan had said that Israel committed “barbarian” acts in Gaza, and had lashed out at the audience for applauding Peres’s remarks made in defense of the war.

     Turkey and Israel had a strong partnership in military equipment and arms deals. The trade volume between Ankara and Tel Aviv was at USD 2.6 billion in 2007 and some suggest that USD 1.8 billion of the sum was attributed to military equipment trade.

     The Rise And Fall Of The Ummah

     The catastrophe became eminent in 1924
     The might of Islam’s Khilafah was no more
     The world cornered the Muslims after depleting our core
     They took out their militaries and came knocking on our doors
     They then began to invade our countries from every shore
     They taught us nationalism, tribalism and our unity was out the door
     They made us pledge to useless flags and brought their kufr to our lands
     They showed us their culture and we became instant fans
     We abandoned our religion and so Allah abandoned us
     We broke our deal with Allah within our mutual trust
     We were supposed to remain obedient and in Allah place our trust
     But we fell into sins and were betrayed by our lust
     Allah sent us a Messenger who taught us success:
     To aim for Jannah and love this dunya much less
     But we took the blessings of honor and power for granted
     So when we strayed from Islam, a wake-up call we were handed
     The troops of the devil in our nations quickly landed
     To colonize the Muslims, with their kufr so candid
     But we still didn’t learn and so soon we became related
     They were far from Allah and Islam is what they hated
     We, too loved this Dunya, and our Iman had long faded
     We didn’t realize that the gates of Jannah are gated
     Earning Jannah means putting desires to the side
     If we expect the gates of Paradise to open for us wide
     But since we abandoned Allah and forgot our religion
     Allah says Be and so He carries out His decision
     The worst amongst us were made to lead us
     But they, too were oppressors and didn’t even feed us
     Allah withdrew our Khilafah and woke us up to a reality
     That our success is with Allah and not with ethnic principalities
     That we need to put our ethnicities and worldly love to the side
     And hold firmly to the rope of Allah, not swimming with the tide
     Our return to success as an Ummah resides
     In following the Prophets’ and Sahaba’s lives
     In learning about and adhering sternly to the Qur’an and the Sunnah
     And implementing Allah’s laws collectively as an Ummah
     To rise back to the top, we must return to our Deen
     Beginning with our own individual beings
     Then move onto our families, communites, and nations
     Establishing with Allah the best of relations
     So let’s invest in the Aakhira instead of over-enjoying life
     And be prepared for this means considerable strife
     The hatred from the mouths of the kuffar continues to emanate
     The time is for Jihad, and Salam to the Believers who participate
     Allah’s Messenger, Sal-Allahu Alayhi wa Sallam said
     That the Kuffar would attack and Muslim blood would be shed
     Because we’re obsessed with the Dunya and abandoned Jihad
     That we love this life and would hate to be dead
     And until we return to our Deen, this condition remains
     That we stand humiliated until we rethink our aims
     We are here to establish Islam on this Earth
     So by the Will of Allah, let’s give Islam a rebirth!

     Bismillah

     As salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah

     Please increase in dua’s for the Muslims around the world and especially for the brothers and sisters in Jihad.

     I say this as I am concerned about a number of things that I have reported earlier. The first is the increase military efforts in the swat valley against our brothers.

     This increase in attack as been ordered by the prime minister of Pakistan who is a secular sufi. Please read the following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yousaf_Raza_Gillani

     I am also deeply concerned about the understanding of the muslims regarding the true aqeedah. In order to help and advice my brothers and sister I direct you to read the following book ‘In Pursuit of Allah’s Pleasure’ available at http://tibyan.wordpress.com/

     Furthermore the comments by the politburo chief Meeshal can be read here http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2007/03/2008525122240439340.html

     This is very disturbing from a number of issues. One is that it is completely and utterly against our aqeedah to cooperate with the shia in this way. Here are a number of reasons why.

     1. They curse the companions.
     2. They lie about their beliefs.
     3. They are people of bidah and shirk.
     4. They defame the wives of Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him)
     5. They are the cousins of the jews.
     6. Their founder was a jew who injected into the teachings of Islam thousands of falsehoods.
     7. They make Mutah (marry women on false pretexts)
     8. They kill the righteous Mujahideen.
     9. The extreme amongst say that Ali is the son of Allah. Whereas Allah is free from any associates.
     10. The scholars amongst them are Kuffar based on the fatwa of shaikh bin baz and majmu fatwa from shaikh Ibn Taymeyah.

     Victory will not and will never come accept by holding on to two ways. The quran and the sunnah and the way of the rightly guided Caliphs.

     If anyone thinks that there is another way they are mistaken and the devil as led them astray. Victory can only be achieved when the Muslims return to the deen of Allah. This means to have the pure and accepted aqeedah and complete sincerity to Allah.

     I advice you all and myself to ensure that in our path to jihad we purify ourselves and our deeds by seeking knowledge and making repentance to Allah continuously.

     The description appended to the God fearing Mujahideen of the past by the crusaders was – “They were knights by day and monks by night”

     Shaikh abdullah azzam said whoever wanted to tread the path of jihad should lead a simple life, pray in the night and fast Mondays & thursdays.

     Sisters who are married should support their husbands in this. encourage them to fast and to pray more. Make dua that Allah gives them shaheed. Increase in dhikr of Allah especially the salutations of the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him). try to sit together and read or if you read them discuss this with your husband. Bring your children up to be Mujahideen. Make sure to give them lots of physical activity when they are young teach them or take them to the fighting arts and martial arts academies. We have to think long term – what we leave behind is our legacy which is for us against us……..never say never…..all things are possible……..You sisters are the future educators don’t let this ummah down….

     You brothers who are not married please go and marry right minded sisters who are looking for the same……

     Remember that the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) was instructed to leave a portion of the people behind while those went to war and to battle the enemies.

     We need to think about the future and plan for it. How many children can a woman bear (Allah knows best) in Oman some families have football teams from their wives.

     Abu Talah’s wife gave birth to nine sons who became hafiz and mujahideen who fought and were killed for the sake of Allah.

     We have to be positive and know that the help of ALLAH is close.

     I hope that those who read these words will heed and understand them as intended. The road is long and the journey fraught with dangers, but the provision is taqwa.

     Finally beware of the trap of the kuffar. they are trying to stop our sisters having many children by trying to scare them into having caesarian sections, which leads to a decrease in the number of children. Do not fall for this scare mongering and i would not speak on this matter without first hand knowledge of their plans…..beware they are helpers only to one another.

     Aslam alaikum, Brothers and sisters – we should take advantage of these winter days and nights to remember Allah (SWT) and increase our emaan…

     “Winter is the best season for the believer because…Allah strengthens his practice in it by making worship easy for him. This is because in winter, the believer can fast during the day with ease without suffering from hunger and thirst. The days are short and cold, and he therefore doesn’t feel the hardship of fasting…

     As for praying at night in the winter due to its long nights, one can have his share of sleep and then get up to pray afterwards and recite all that he usually recites of the Qur’an while he has had enough sleep. So, he can combine between the sleep that he needs and the usual amount of recitation of the Qur’an that he completes in a day. So, he fulfills the interests of both his religion and the comfort of his body…

     And it was narrated that Ibn Mas’ud said: “Welcome to winter! Blessings descend in it, its nights are long to pray in, and its days are short to fast in.” It is also narrated from him and al-Hasan: “Winter is a wonderful time for the believer. Its nights are long to pray in, and its days are short to fast in.” When it was winter time, ‘Ubayd bin ‘Umayr would say: “O people of the Qur’an! Your nights are now long for you to recite in. So, recite! Your days are now short for you to fast in. So, fast! Night prayer in the winter equals fasting during the day in the summer.” This is why Mu’adh wept on his deathbed and said: “I weep because I will miss the thirst I felt when I fasted, praying at night during the winter, and sitting knee to knee with the scholars during the gatherings of knowledge.”
     ibn al Rajab al-Hambali.

     Subhan’Allah, May Allah make us of them!….

     MP: Arrest British Jews fighting for IDF
     Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:39:56 GMT
     By Fareena Alam, Press TV, London

     Lord Nazir Ahmed
     Lord Nazir Ahmed is one of Britain’s most prominent Muslim leaders. This week, he questioned the British government about concerns that British Jews may have served in the Israeli Defense Force during Operation Cast Lead – the three-week bombardment of Gaza.

     Lord Ahmed’s questions have brought attention to an issue that has significant legal and political implications but which few want to discuss in public.

     The following is an exclusive Press TV interview with Lord Ahmed:

     Press TV: Lord Nazir Ahmed, you raised question in Parliament about the legal implications of British Jews serving in the IDF. What was the response?

     Lord Ahmed: I asked Her Majesty’s government if they were aware of British citizens who may have been involved with the war crimes committed by the Israeli Defense Force and Israeli Defense Reserves. Her Majesty’s government did not have any figures because dual nationals do not have to inform the government. However, there are reports in the Daily Mirror and The Sun with the names of British citizens who have been fighting in Gaza.

     The point I was making is that war crimes have been committed, white phosphorous has been used and if there are people who have broken the 4th Geneva Convention, then whoever they are, when they return to this country, they should be arrested and charged – unlike the Major General who escaped in 2005.

     Press TV: Are you certain these are up to date reports about British citizens serving in Israel?

     Lord Ahmed: These are very new reports, dated January 2009, of British citizens who have gone out to fight against the Palestinian people as part of the IDF. Their names and ages are mentioned in these reports.
     We know that there are student unions that have been actively recruiting young people in Britain to join the Israeli Defense Force and we also know that there are young Jewish students who go and serve on the kibbutz and also in schools, who are also then doing national service in Israel.

     How many of those have been involved in war crimes? How many of those have broken the Geneva Convention? When they come back to this country, we want our government to take some legal action against them.

     Press TV: Will our government take such action?

     Lord Ahmed: Yes – if there is evidence and if the United Nations is strong enough. At the moment they have not even decided how they are going to conduct this independent investigation into the use of white phosphorous and other weapons prohibited by the United Nations.

     There is very clear evidence that the 4th Geneva Convention has been breached – we know there was collective punishment, excessive and disproportionate use of force against civilians and deliberate attacks on schools, hospitals and ambulances. There have even been attacks on UNRWA personnel and warehouses.

     If the United Nations makes a statement or if someone goes to the courts and gets an order against these people then I am sure the government has to take some legal action.

     Press TV: Were you surprised by the response from the government?

     Lord Ahmed: I am not surprised at all. Lord Malloch-Brown did actually say that if there is any evidence of the 4th Geneva Convention being breached, and it doesn’t matter whether they are British citizens or whether they are other nationalities, these people will be arrested and they will be tried in this country.

     Press TV: How do you think the British Jewish community will react to such a move?

     Lord Ahmed: Well the reaction was very obvious. One of their lordships got up and started to praise the British citizens who were fighting in Gaza. He said: shouldn’t we be proud of the fact they are fighting against terrorists who are hell bent on trying to destroy Israel.

     But they are not fighting against a terrorist organization as such. The IDF and those who serve in it have been involved in the massacre of civilians, including hundreds of Palestinian children and attacks on the United Nations and even the American school. There is just no excuse for anyone to get away from these war crimes this time.

     Press TV: Is this situation comparable to British Muslims allegedly going to fight in foreign conflicts?

     Lord Ahmed: There have been many government statements with regards to British Muslims going abroad to foreign madrasahs and then seeking training. There was a huge outcry across the board – from government officials, politicians and civil society.

     Of course, we do not support anyone who has been involved with terrorism or killing of innocent civilians anywhere, or those who fight British troops abroad.

     However, to me there is no difference whether the young person is from a Jewish background or Muslim background. The only difference is that one has a uniform and the other does not. Both kill innocent civilians. Both need to be brought justice.

     This is why Baroness Tongue asked the question about the number of British youth who go to religious Jewish schools and also the kibbutz. In this case, it is a double standard to allow young British citizens of whatever religion, who go to religious schools and then get involved in armed conflicts and join a terrorist state.

     The very fact that in both cases, they kill innocent civilians, including children warrants a fresh look at this issue, as was recommended by Lord Wallace of Saltaire.

     Press TV: Are you expecting any progress now that you have raised the issue?

     Lord Ahmed: My intention was to bring this matter to the attention of parliament. The second was to discuss this openly in the media. It has always been a taboo to ask any questions about Jewish youth who go to Israel for training and service in the IDF.

     We have received a government statement. Now, it is for the legal experts to take it up in the courts and to make sure the government takes legal action against people who may have been in breach of international law.

     As a general point, I was surprised by how the entire British society was moved by this crisis. In almost every town and city, people went out to demonstrate against the bombing and killing of innocent civilians. They put pressure on the government and at least the government has done a few things such as taking the resolution to the UN.

     But more importantly, I have definitely seen the mood amongst British politicians change to become more openly critical of the Israeli government. Unfortunately, that is not the same in Europe.

     We went to see the President of the European Parliament and met with a number of Members of the European Parliament who feel that Germany, Austria and France and other parts of Europe still have guilt in relation to the Holocaust. That is why Israel can get away with anything it wants.

     We know that very fine members of parliament like Gerald Kaufman MP, who is himself Jewish, very openly said that just because these people were victims of the Holocaust does not mean they should perpetrate another holocaust on the Palestinian people.

     We need to speak out and support Jews, like Gerald Kaufman and Jews for Justice for Palestine, who have been supporting the Palestinians.

     Special Reports
     Israel hopes to colonize parts of Iraq as ‘Greater Israel’
     By Wayne Madsen
     Online Journal Contributing Writer

     Jan 30, 2009, 00:20

     (WMR) — Israeli expansionists, their intentions to take full control of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and permanently keep the Golan Heights of Syria and expand into southern Lebanon already well known, also have their eyes on parts of Iraq considered part of a biblical “Greater Israel.”

     Israel reportedly has plans to relocate thousands of Kurdish Jews from Israel, including expatriates from Kurdish Iran, to the Iraqi cities of Mosul and Nineveh under the guise of religious pilgrimages to ancient Jewish religious shrines. According to Kurdish sources, the Israelis are secretly working with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to carry out the integration of Kurdish and other Jews into areas of Iraq under control of the KRG.

     Kurdish, Iraqi Sunni Muslims, and Turkmen have noted that Kurdish Israelis began to buy land in Iraqi Kurdistan, after the U.S. invasion in 2003, that is considered historical Jewish “property.”

     The Israelis are particularly interested in the shrine of the Jewish prophet Nahum in al Qush, the prophet Jonah in Mosul, and the tomb of the prophet Daniel in Kirkuk. Israelis are also trying to claim Jewish “properties” outside of the Kurdish region, including the shrine of Ezekiel in the village of al-Kifl in Babel Province near Najaf and the tomb of Ezra in al-Uzayr in Misan Province, near Basra, both in southern Iraq’s Shi’a-dominated territory. Israeli expansionists consider these shrines and tombs as much a part of “Greater Israel” as Jerusalem and the West Bank, which they call “Judea and Samaria.”

     Kurdish and Iraqi sources report that Israel’s Mossad is working hand-in-hand with Israeli companies and “tourists” to stake a claim to the Jewish “properties” of Israel in Iraq. The Mossad has already been heavily involved in training the Kurdish Pesha Merga military forces.

     Reportedly assisting the Israelis are foreign mercenaries paid for by U.S. Christian evangelical circles that support the concept of “Christian Zionism.”

     Iraqi nationalists charge that the Israeli expansion into Iraq is supported by both major Kurdish factions, including the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan headed by Iraq’s nominal President Jalal Talabani. Talabani’s son, Qubad Talabani, serves as the KRG’s representative in Washington, where he lives with his wife Sherri Kraham, who is Jewish.

     Also supporting the Israeli land acquisition activities is the Kurdistan Democratic Party, headed by Massoud Barzani, the president of the KRG. One of Barzani’s five sons, Binjirfan Barzani, is reportedly heavily involved with the Israelis.

     The Israelis and their Christian Zionist supporters enter Iraq not through Baghdad but through Turkey. In order to depopulate residents of lands the Israelis claim, Mossad operatives and Christian Zionist mercenaries are staging terrorist attacks against Chaldean Christians, particularly in Nineveh, Irbil, al-Hamdaniya, Bartalah, Talasqaf, Batnayah, Bashiqah, Elkosheven, Uqrah, and Mosul.

     These attacks by the Israelis and their allies are usually reported as being the responsibility of “Al Qaeda” and other Islamic “jihadists.”

     The ultimate aim of the Israelis is to depopulate the Christian population in and around Mosul and claim the land as biblical Jewish land that is part of “Greater Israel.” The Israeli/Christian Zionist operation is a replay of the depopulation of the Palestinians in the British mandate of Palestine after World War II.

     In June 2003, a delegation of Israelis visited Mosul and said that it was Israel’s intentions, with the assistance of Barzani, to establish Israeli control of the shrine of Jonah in Mosul and the shrine of Nahum in the Mosul plains. The Israelis said Israeli and Iranian Jewish pilgrims would travel via Turkey to the area of Mosul and take over lands where Iraqi Christians lived.

     Asalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatulahi wa Barakatuhu my dear brothers and sisters in Islam.
     .
     As the Satan devil worshippers of the United States of America, the United Kingdom, NATO, and the Illegal State of Israel continue their expansions and 21st century colonialism in the Lands of Palestine, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan and other lands, we as Muslims should continue our support of the Mujahideen who are at the frontlines fighting the enemies of Allah Azza wa Jall and our enemies. We should not back down because of their false propagandas and false ideologies that they are spreading with bomber jets of the party of Satan, “their soon to be dead death squads”, such as the US-ARMY, CIA, FBI, MI5, MOSSAD, IDF, ISAF criminals etc.
     .
     All of us should know by now that these criminals, as explained to us in the Qur’an and the Hadith, will always attempt to continue their mass killings of the Native Muslims in these lands until they either take over all our lands, or until we follow their misguided religions and injudicious ideologies. As a result, shirk, lewdness, homosexuality, rape, bigotry, biasness, racial discrimination just to name a few continues to exist in western steered colonies.
     .
     Dear brothers and sisters in Islam, the issues at hand are numerous but it isn’t impossible to fight off the enemies of Islam with their plots and attacks. Do not take my word for it but go to the Qur’an and the Sunnah to see for yourself the inevitable realities. What can the party of Satan do to us? What can they, the Satan worshippers, do to us Muslims? By Allah, they cannot do anything to us but only as a means for their destruction in this life and the next.
     .
     Kill us?
     Know that everyone will die sooner or later, and no one lives forever.
     .
     “Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion.”

     [Surah Aal-Imran, Ayat 157]
     .
     Imprison us?
     Know that this world is already a prison for the Mu’minun and a Paradise for the kuffar.
     “Ad-Dunyaa sijnul mu-min wa jannatul kaafir.”
     Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: “The world is a prison-house for a believer and Paradise for a disbeliever.”

     Torture us?
     Know that the initiators and keepers of the US-UK-NATO-ILEGAL ISRAEL’S torture to death camps of Guantanamo bay, Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Belmarsh, Gilbo’a, Megiddo, Ofer, Ktzi’ot etc., will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire for what they use to do to the believers in these torture to death camps.

     Know that the RAND plots are nothing but delusions of the Party of Satan.

     [Surah Ar-Ra'd, Ayat 42]
     .

     My dear brothers and sisters in Islam let us all go back to the history, our Islamic history, and not the Kuffar written histories. See for yourself what our righteous predecessors faced and went through in their lives. How they were victorious against the enemies of Islam. See for yourself the true nature of the Kuffar steered ideologies and what they resulted in corruption, aggression, invasion, occupation and genocide. The Kuffar true nature is all laid out for us to see and yet some of us are still blinded by their deceptions.
     Allah Azza Wa Jall, throught His Prophet, Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him), has warned us, reminded us, guided us and showed us the way to victory and the highest achievement in this life and the next. Our current righteous scholars, such as this Imam, our esteemed sheikh Anwar, are continually voicing this recipe for victory and yet most of us are still hesitant and arrogant. The Mujahideen who are witnessing these victories in the midst of the so call “global war on terror” (the global war on Islam), have always showed us the signs of Allah Azza wa Jall in the fields of Jihad fee Sabililah, but some of us are still siding with the Kuffar.

     If you do not know by now, let us tell you that the Satanists from the USA, UK, Illegal Israel and its NATO collaborators are attacking today by any means available to them no one but devout Muslim men and women, the righteous Mujahideen – from Osama bin Laden down to the last innocent young Palestinian killed simply for being a Muslim. Look around you. Look again. Have a close look. See for yourself and support the Jihad Fee Sabililah!
     .
     “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment.”

     Spops I am going to argue with you a lil bit.. why? B/C no matter what the ideological movement of religious affiliation of a group i think that (i could be wrong)that it is wise to have a strategic alliance… your enemy’s enemy is your friend (in terms of alliances). For example the afghanistan mujahadeen excepted supplies from ‘christian’ or even ‘zionist’ America b/c their enemy the soviet Union was invading the country… and i think an alliance with all regional powers against al-yahood and zionism is mandatory… no matter if they are allying with christians, nationalists, polytheists, communists or whatever.. taking allies is more complicated than what ideological background a group has.. i mean if there was an outbreak of war between muslimeen and Israel in the Middle East, for example if Israel attacked Jordan, would it be wise not to ally with Iran against Israel on the basis that they are shii??? Many times circumstances and power arrangement determine who your military allies are… for example if China was to supply the Taliban with weopons to push out the invading Nato forces should the Taliban not accept this help because China are mushrikeen??? That does not make sense to me…. neither does it make sense that Hamas should not receive support from Iran especially giving the circumstances surrounding Gaza and the fact that Iran is the ONLY country supporting them… the so called ’sunni’ countries are not doing anything and are actually allying with Israel against them… and we all saw what happened to Israel in 2006…

     What great understanding and tactics the Taliban in Pakistan have achieved by the grace of allah.

     They have been subject to a constant war waged against them by secularist intent on not allowing sharia to be established. they hide behind the troops that they deploy making decision that they themselves would never be able to carry out. They are cowards and hypocrites and we pray for the day that they have their heads chopped off.

     If I had the thirty three policemen I would make an example of three by chopping off their heads and placing them on poles.

     The other thirty I would split into three groups so as to stop them from being rescued. I would then send a message to the troops and police first ahead of the administration and tell them you are fighting for people who don’r care whether you live or die. If you die fighting for them Allah will punish you. I would tell them to desist.

     I would tell the admin munafiqoon and friends of shaitan that if there are more attacks we will summarily execute all the prisoners and put their heads on sticks in the open.

     If you desist we will release two for every month that you leave us alone to exist in the way that we want. If you insist on this then know we will break the war to you in way that you ever never seen and will never see again. you will never sleep even if you have thousand men to watch you.

     finally the choice is yours.

     Allahuakbar for the taliban may Allah increase his help to them and make them successful always.

     @ all brothers who are medics/nurses etc your help is needed in all areas don’t loose your chance inshallah to help those in need!

     @Salah
     respected brother i agree with you 100% in your post no.196

     i felt the same way when i read spops views on iran, and was astonished, can it be that Allah loves Husni mubarak more than ahmedinjaad cos former is sunni and later is shia!

     what about husni mubarak loving and supporting jews and israel and ahmedinjadd hating and condemning israel all the time.
     what about husni rejecting hammas and closing its borders on civillians.
     and iran and hizbollah being vocal and supporitng hammas with words and money.
     and the youths of iran and lebenon storming the airports to go and fight the jihaad in ghaza.
     dont these shia youths love their sunni brethern in ghaza more than any other sunni youths.
     so we have to be very careful that we dont play in the hands of our REAL enemy by foresaking the only help hammas has in the form of iran.

     i love and support hammas and hezbollah on the same level. may Allah give them victory Ameen.

     @Jihadfeesabililah

     jazakallah khayer for this beautiful post no.195 it has helped to increase our eemaan Alhumdulillah. we do need reminders and hence the reason we are told to stay with jamat, so we can do ”wa twasau bil haq wa twasau bis sabr”
     may Allah reward you abundantly for every word of haq you said to incourage muslims to do the right thing and not delay it.
     may Allah make us among the people who take the innitiative quicker than later Ameen. cos sometimes the good intention alone doesnt help as was the case of sahabah in surah taubah.

     may Allah guide us all to the truth, give victory to mujahedeen and make islam prevail the lands Ameen.

     Israeli Spokeswoman Says We Control Stupid Americans
     http://www.daily.pk – February 1, 2009

     “Another Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache, stated that she was not worried about negative ramifications the Israeli onslaught on Gaza might have on the way the Obama administration would view Israel. She said ‘You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel.”

     Commenting on the latest Israeli one-directional onslaught against the Palestinians of Gaza Strip, the Israeli 10th TV channel has disclosed that the Israeli genocidal forces had used half of its air force and had launched at least 2500 air raids against Gaza Strip.

     The television military correspondent stated that the Israeli warplanes had dropped more than a thousand tons of explosives, including white phosphorous and DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive) bombs, during three weeks on the virtually unarmed densely populated 360 square Kilometers Strip.

     He added that the shells fired by tanks, artillery, gunboats, and infantry were not included in those fired by the air force.

     After a whole week of continuous air bombardments Israel sent in its elite foot soldiers; 30,000 of them, and called in 10,000 of its reservists. Armed with the latest weapons of mass murder, covered with an umbrella of free reigning air force, and accompanied with raining shells of heavy artilleries, they drove their tanks into the civilian towns murdering civilians and destroying every structure in their path.

     Living outside of Gaza one cannot fully understand the barbarity of this genocide especially when the Western media had barely covered any of its atrocity. To gain a slight idea of its enormity one should remember that, during the 6-days war of 1967, this same Israeli army was distributed on four fronts; Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian, and Lebanese, and it was fighting regular armies. Now the whole brunt of this army is concentrated on a small strip against unarmed and untrained civilian population.

     Latest official count was 1350 murdered, 40% of them were children, and 5300 were injured; mutilated and amputated. It was reported that 80% of the injured were the victims of burning phosphorous bombs. More dead are being discovered under the rebels, and many seriously injured are expected later on to die.

     Israeli tanks had left several city blocks completely destroyed without any homes or structure standing. The tanks shelled homes and apartment towers. Due to the small size of Gaza Strip Palestinians had to build vertically. Many apartment towers went up 15-20 stories high with each story containing 6-8 apartments.

     A total of 20,000 buildings were completely or partially burnt and damaged. The UN has reported that more than 50,000 Palestinians are left homeless and are now crowded into 50 emergency shelters.

     An estimated of 50,000 more are living with relatives and in tents they erected on the ruins of their homes.

     The Israeli bombardment targeted everything in Gaza including government buildings, police headquarters, banks and business offices, the main university, 67 schools sheltering civilians, shopping centers and market places, factories, water, sewer, and electricity infrastructures, private homes and apartment towers and charity organizations.

     Farms, including their animals, were also targeted and hundreds of acres of crops and fruit groves were incinerated. Religious buildings, where civilians usually seek shelter, were specifically targeted. Israeli fighter planes had completely destroyed 41 mosques, and partially damaged 51 others. One church was also targeted. Even cemeteries were not spared; 5 of them were bombed.

     Although the Israeli army was given the exact GPS co-ordinates of every UN structure, as asserted by Christopher Gunness, the UNRWA spokesman, Israeli F-16 planes had repeatedly dropped phosphorous bombed on UN schools knowing very well that hundreds of civilians had taken shelter there. At least 45 children and women were burnt and murdered there.

     The UN headquarters in Gaza City was also hit with three, not just one, phosphorous bombs burning tons of humanitarian aid and food stuff. The fire kept on burning for three days. UN-flagged humanitarian convoy was also shelled killing one driver.

     Medical centers and paramedics were not spared. The Red Crescent Al-Quds hospital in Tal el-Hawa neighborhood was hit by Israeli shells and caught on fire. Other two hospitals; Al-Wafa and Al-Fata hospitals, were also shelled, leading the World Health Organization to express its deep concern about the serious implications of such bombardments. 16 other smaller health clinics and 16 ambulances were also damaged. Medics were targeted and prevented from helping the injured. Ten of them, including two doctors, were murdered.

     Media centers were particularly targeted. Local and international news reporters were prevented from entering Gaza. Those, who were able to enter, were directly targeted. The Al-Shuruq office tower housing several international and Arab media outlets was directly hit. Two cameramen working for Abu Dhabi TV were injured, while the offices of Reuters News Agency, Fox TV, Sky, and Al-Arabiya TV offices were damaged. Another raid had damaged the headquarter offices of Al-Resala newspaper.

     Similar to all their previous wars the Israeli soldiers had committed massacres against Palestinian unarmed civilians. They have used internationally banned weapons such as phosphorous bombs, DIME, and depleted uranium, as reported by international physicians, eyewitnesses, and military experts. Israeli soldiers had mutilated the bodies of their victims to instill terror in the hearts of people hoping they will leave Gaza. Israeli soldiers herded many families in one building using them as human shield, and then later on bombed the building on top of them. They shot civilians, mainly children, directly and at point blank. The bodies of some children were found shot several times; as many as 18 bullets in the body of a 12 years old girl, and 12 bullets in the body of her 2 years old sister.

     Israeli soldiers had wiped out whole Palestinian families. Al-Samuni family lost 11 members, Abu Aisha family lost 6, Batran family lost 6, al-Rayyan family lost 15 and al-Balousha family lost 5 sisters. Other families, too many to mention here, were either murdered or incinerated by the phosphorous bombs. The Israeli army has been carrying out a deliberate indiscriminate mass murder. During the first Intifada, 1987 – 1993, they murdered 1162 Palestinians. During the second Intifada, 2001- 2006, they murdered 5500 Palestinians. Now, in a short period of three weeks, they murdered 1350 Palestinians.

     This onslaught is a holocaust since the many tons of phosphorous bombs, dropped on Gaza cities, had burnt civilians to the bones, burnt their homes and buildings, and burnt their fields and crops. This is the holocaust that the Israeli Deputy Defense Minister, Matan Vilnai, had threatened Palestinians with when he stated: “the more Qassam fire intensifies and the rockets reach a longer range, they will bring upon themselves a bigger shoah (holocaust) because we will use all our might to defend ourselves.”

     One cannot help but wonder how could a group of people, who claim to be the victims of a holocaust, commit another holocaust against another nation. What is it that feeds, perpetuates and intensifies this Judaic genocidal spirit although all Arabs, including Palestinians, had offered these Zionist Jews many agreements of coexistence, peace and security? The answer comes through their media outlets, through the words of their scholarly educators, and through the teachings of their Rabbis.

     “All of the Palestinians must be killed; men, women, infants, and even their beasts” cries the religious opinion of Rabbi Yisrael Rosen, the director of the long-established Tsomet Religious Institute. He wrote that Palestinians are like the nation of Amalekites, who attacked the Israelite tribes led by Moses on their way to Jerusalem. He stated that the Lord sent down in the Torah a ruling that allowed the Jews to kill the Amalekites, and that this ruling is known in Jewish jurisprudence.

     The Torah states: “Annihilate the Amalekites from the beginning to the end. Kill them and wrest them from their possessions. Show them no mercy. Kill continuously, one after the other. Leave no child, plant, or tree. Kill their beasts, from camels to donkeys.” Rosen stated that Amalekites are not a particular race, but rather all those who hate and oppose the Jews; Christians and Muslims.

     Many leading Israeli Rabbis support Rosen’s views. Israel’s former Sephardic Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu advocated carpet bombing of Gaza stating that “there is absolutely no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate killing of civilians during massive military offensive on Gaza” (The Jerusalem Post, 30 May, 2007). His son Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu amplified his father’s genocidal call stating: “if they don’t stop after we kill 100, then we must kill a thousand, then we must kill 10,000 and even a million”

     Many Rabbis had argued that Palestinians in Gaza are not innocent civilians and that during war time it is not individuals but nations the Israelis are fighting. (It seems that Hitler had adopted this Telmudic teaching when he persecuted all European Jews)

     Israeli educators, scholars, and politicians, openly, advocate the annihilation of all Palestinians. Dr. Nachum Rakover, a legal scholar, opined “They voted for killers and sent them to kill us. To call them (civilians) innocent is a tragic comedy… civilians are partners of the killers” Eli Yeshai, Israeli official in the Orthodox Shas party argued that “extermination of the enemy is sanctioned by the Torah” Many other politicians called for the need for “wiping off Gaza from the face of earth”, and “annihilating of every moving thing there.” The right-wing Israeli politician Avigdor Lieberman proposed nuking Gaza following the US example when it dropped the atomic bomb on Japan during WWII.

     This “ideology of annihilation” is by no means a minority opinion in Israel, but represents a mainstream in the Jews of Israel as well as Jews in the West (US). The popular attitude is “if it was right by God to order us to commit genocide during Biblical time, why can’t it be right to commit genocide now. Has God changed his mind?” Indeed Judaic god is a racist genocidal god.

     Watch and listen here to an example of how Israeli Jews are brainwashed and indoctrinated into the ideology of annihilation by their rabbis and scholars through Israeli media. Watch Max Blumenthal’s videotape of a group of messianic Orthodox Jewish Chabad-Lubavitch exhibit this ideology in NYC in January 11, 2009.

     The Israeli spokesman, Nachman Abramovic demonized Palestinian children stating “They may look young to you, but these people are terrorists at heart. Don’t look at their deceptively innocent faces, try to think of the demons inside each of them … I am absolutely certain these people would grow to be evil terrorists if we allowed them to grow… would you allow them to grow to kill your children or finish them off right now? … honost and moral people ought to differentiate between true humans and human animals. We do kill human animals and we do so unapologetically. Besides who in the West is in a position to lecture us on killing human animals. After all, whose hands are clean?”

     Human animal mentioned by Abramovic refers to the Judaic religious belief that Jews are Gods chosen people; the elite and the pure-blooded, while all others (non-Jews, Goyims, gentiles) are animal souls incarnated into human bodies to serve the Jews. Killing a human animal is just a sport like hunting deer or birds.

     .
     “Now, I have a message for [the Secretary General of Lebanese Hizballah] Hassan Nasrallah: tell me, why is there all this bewailing and lamenting [from you] over Gaza and the people of Gaza? Did you not announce that you have approximately 20,000 rockets, all of which are able to reach Tel Aviv? Do our brothers in Gaza not deserve your support—namely, a thousand, two thousand, or three thousand rockets—instead of all this moaning and blaming of others? Or is the Lebanese soil dearer and superior to you than the blood of Palestinian Muslims?! Tell me by your Lord, what is the difference between you and [Egyptian President] Hosni Mubarak? Hosni [Mubarak] is a safety valve for the Jews in Egypt, and you are a safety valve for them in Lebanon. By Allah, if we were in your place, we would have marched forward and the Islamic nation would have marched with us to Palestine. It is enough for us that these events have allowed our wounded nation to witness who really bargains with their fate and who seeks to increase his own [power]
     at its expense.”
     .
     “Finally, to you, our brothers in Palestine and around Jerusalem: you know better than anyone of the ignominy of the Jews, their fear, and their cowardice. By Allah, had you been protected from the evil of these collaborating treacherous leaders, you would have helped deter the evil of the
     descendants of the apes and swine across the entire globe. I ask almighty Allah to enable the conditions for us to help you, and tomorrow is closer than you think…”

     On this basis alone we find that there are so many groups who are not even following this basic set of conditions. Instead they follow what the shayateen order them to do, if you are in doubt then go and take a look at the following link and I advise all brothers and sister to go and watch this and then tell me? is this Islam? is this the way of the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) or the rightly guided caliphs?
     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq4BAAVDo9k&feature=PlayList&p=30ADCB5ABCFC3FDD&index=35

     neither is this:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOgSQ2QtE7Y&feature=PlayList&p=30ADCB5ABCFC3FDD&index=33

     this is shirk by ijmaa of the Muslims and as such anyone who does this is a kaffir and therefore as we don’t make alliances with the kuffar Americans we don’t make alliances with those who make shirk as Jihad came to wipe out shirk.

     The prophet said I was commaned to fight the people until they said la ilah illah Allah and all the religion is only for Allah.(bukhari) Therefore when you make shirk you negate Islam and you become a Kaffir.

     Still not convinced then watch this.

     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtpPC46fO-Q&NR=1

     After all that how can any person say that we should form strategic alliances with those who are not even in the fold of Islam.

     We need only Allah, we do not need the help of anyone but him and until we Muslims realize that we will continue to suffer this ignominy.

     I am quite prepared to explain further, but I direct you to the earlier post in which I gave the name of the book to go and read and understand the aqeedah we should have inshallah. may Allah guide you to understand and see.

     “Say: Is the blind one equal to the one who sees? Or darkness equal to
     Light?” [Surah Ar-Ra'd (13), Ayah 16.]

     “Say: [O Muhammad ( pbuh)]: ‘Verily I am commanded to worship Allah
     (alone) by obeying Him and doing deeds sincerely for Allah’s sake only and
     not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship;’” [Surah Az-Zumar (39), Ayah 11.]

     What amazes me is that we are quick to label some rulers and not others.

     There is an old saying that we should all come to the same level playing field and it appears that this is not the case.

     This deen is not pick and choose as we like it is a deen of evidence and daleel.

     agreeing and disagreeing is done only for the sake of Allah with evidence and not emotions and politics.

     I say anyone who wants to refute what I have said then bring the ayat and the haddeth with reference…..

     Furthermore the ruling of kuffar is general and the action of kuffar has to be explained as Allah does not punish for ignorance. If after the explanation and daleel then the hukm can be applied by the scholars……….

     Global Energy War: Washington’s New Kissinger
     The appointment of US Marine General James Jones

     Lost amid the national and international fanfare accompanying the inauguration of the 44th president of the United States is attention to the person who is slated to be the next major foreign policy architect and executor, retired US Marine General James Jones.

     In nearly identical phraseology that cannot be construed as either fortuitous or without foundation, the Washington Post of November 22, 2008 referred to the then pending selection of Jones as US National Security Adviser in these terms:

     “Sources familiar with the discussions said Obama is considering expanding the scope of the job to give the adviser the kind of authority once wielded by powerful figures such as Henry A. Kissinger.”

     And the following day’s Israeli Ha’aretz wrote:

     “Jones is expected to play a key role in the Obama administration. According to U.S. press reports, he will be as strong as Henry Kissinger, the all-powerful national security adviser to President Richard Nixon.”

     The analogy is with the role of Henry Kissinger as National Security Adviser to the first and second Nixon administrations (1969-1977, continuing into the Ford White House) and as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State during the second term; that is, as a then unprecedentedly influential player in determining US foreign policy.

     A similar comparison can be made with the Carter administration’s National Security Adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the true power behind the foreign policy throne from 1977-1981, with Secretaries of State Cyrus Vance and, briefly, Edmund Muskie, largely figureheads in relation to him.

     James Jones is now the first career military officer to hold the post as head of the National Security Council since retired general Colin Powell did so in the second Reagan Administration and is the first former NATO Supreme Allied Commander to do so.

     Jones was appointed to the NATO post of Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and the overlapping, essentially co-terminous one of Commander, United States European Command (COMUSEUCOM) in the first Bush term and is part of the two-thirds of the Obama administration’s foreign policy triumvirate – National Security Adviser, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense – inherited from the preceding administration. The other is, of course, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who like Jones is a graduate of Georgetown University, with a doctorate degree in Sovietology and Russian studies.

     As commander of the Pentagon’s European Command (EUCOM) Jones was in charge of the largest area of military responsibility in world history, one that encompassed anywhere from 13-21 million square miles and included 92 of the world’s 192 nations. And as NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander he was the chief military commander of an expanding military bloc of twenty six full members, two new candidates and twenty three Partnership for Peace, six Mediterranean Dialogue, six Gulf Cooperation Council and assorted other military partners in South and Far East Asia and the South Pacific, altogether on five continents.

     While wearing both the above braided hats, Jones was the major architect of what last October 1st was officially launched as the first new US military command in over half a century, Africa Command (AFRICOM), whose chartered area of operations includes fifty-three nations.

     AFRICOM’s historical precedents were commented upon by a Ghanian news source almost three years ago:

     “Marine General James L. Jones, Head of the US European Command…said the Pentagon was seeking to acquire access to two kinds of bases in Senegal, Ghana, Mali and Kenya and other African countries.

     “The new US strategy based on the conclusions of May 2001 report of the President’s National Energy Policy Development group chaired by Vice President Richard Cheney and known as the Cheney report.” (Ghana Web, February 23, 2006)

     And by a Nigerian commentator the following year:

     “[In January of 2002 the African Oil Policy Initiative Group] recommended that African oil be treated as a priority for the national security of the US after 9/11, that the US government declares the Gulf of Guinea an “area of vital interest” and that it set up a sub-command structure for US forces in the region. In September 2002, the then US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, put forward a proposal to establish a NATO Rapid Response Force (NRF) which was approved by the defence ministers of NATO in Brussels in June 2003 and was inaugurated in October 2003.” (Leadership, November 22, 2007)

     In keeping with the above, after his formal selection as nominee for Nationl Security Adviser late last year, Jones revealed that “[A]s commander of NATO, I worried early in the mornings about how to protect energy facilities and supply chain routes as far away as Africa, the Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea.” (Agence France-Presse, November 30, 2008)

     Or as a US daily newspaper put it later:

     “During his 2003-2006 stint as NATO’s supreme commander, Jones stressed his view that energy policy was a top national security matter for the United States and a leading international security priority. For the past year, Jones has been president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for 21st Century Energy. Until his Dec. 1 selection by Obama, he also served as a board member of the Chevron Corp.” (Houston Chronicle, December 25, 2008)

     The above reflected designs voiced earlier, as evidenced by:

     “NATO’s top commander of operations, U.S. General James Jones, has said he sees a potential role for the alliance in protecting key shipping lanes such as those around the Black Sea and oil supply routes from Africa to Europe.” (Reuters, November 27, 2006)

     And shortly before stepping down as both European Command and NATO commander, Jones, addressing US business leaders, said:

     “Officials at U.S. European Command spend between 65 to 70 percent of their time on African issues, Jones said….Establishing such a group [military task force in West Africa] could also send a message to U.S. companies ‘that investing in many parts of Africa is a good idea,’ the general said.” [U.S. Department of Defense, August 18, 2006)

     And, just as candidly, he and his NATO civilian cohort declared:

     "NATOs' executives are ready to use warships to ensure the security of offshore oil and gas transportation routes from Western Africa, reportedly said Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, NATO's Secretary General, speaking at the session of foreign committee of PACE [Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe]. “On April 30 General James Jones, commander-in-chief of NATO in Europe, reportedly said NATO was going to draw up the plan for ensuring security of oil and gas industry facilities. “In this respect the block is willing to ensure security in unstable regions where oil and gas are produced and transported.” (Trend News Agency, May 3, 2006)

     Note that while speaking to those he assumes to be interested and complicit parties, Jones is quite candid in moving his finger across the map of the world and indicating precisely where the Pentagon’s – not the State Department’s, say, or the US Department of Energy’s – priorities lie.

     And they are, as mentioned above, immediately in three of the five areas of the world where hitherto unexploited or underexploited massive oil and natural gas deposits lie: Africa’s Gulf of Guinea, the Black and Caspian Seas and the Persian Gulf.

     The other two contested zones and already current battlegrounds between the West and Russia and other emerging nations in this regard are the Arctic Circle and the northern part of South America and the Caribbean. Southeast Asia may be soon be another candidate for the role.

     The drive into Africa, from the Mediterranean north to the South African way station to Antarctica and its offshore environs (the sixth key global energy chess piece) and from the war-torn northeast to the oil-rich Atlantic west, is thus integrally linked to the concomitant US and NATO military expansion into the Black and Caspian Seas and Persian Gulf regions.

     Mind, this is not a direct, reductionist ‘war for oil’; it is rather an international strategic bid by a consortium of declining Western powers united under the NATO aegis to seize and dominate world energy resources and transportation lines to in turn maintain and expand global economic and political hegemony. (Indeed, the two nations most central to Western plans for trans-Eurasian oil transit plans, Azerbaijan and Georgia, have recorded the largest per capita and percentile increases in military spending in the world over the past five years – a case of oil for war rather than the reverse.)

     Jones’ resume as top military commander of both US European Command and of NATO gave him, and still gives him, a pivotal role in what the State Department of Condoleezza Rice (herself with a doctorate degree in Sovietology and Russian studies) has referred to for years as the “push east and south.”

     As the US armed forces newspaper Stars and Stripes reported a year and a half ago:

     “Five years ago, then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld sent marching orders to Marine Gen. James L. Jones, telling him that the U.S. European Command needed an overhaul to meet the unique challenges of the 21st century. “Jones’ plan, started in 2002, called for the moving of thousands of troops from Europe back to the United States, moving troops into Eastern Europe and setting up forward operating sites in Africa.”

     What has occurred in the interim regarding the first trajectory, the push to the east, is that the Pentagon and NATO have selected seven military bases in Bulgaria and Romania, after the latter two’s NATO accession in 2004, for land, naval and air ‘lily pads’ on the Black Sea for operations in the Caucasus, Ukraine, Central and South Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf.

     The US and its Alliance cohorts have similarly turned another Black Sea, and Caucasus, nation – Georgia – into a military and strategic energy corridor heading both east and south.

     In fact Georgia is the central link in what Western officials for years have touted as the “project of the century”: The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline transporting oil from the Caspian to the Mediterranean Seas.

     Along with its sister projects, the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline and the Kars-Tbilisi-Baku (”China to London”) railway, the West envisions plans to export oil and natural gas from as far east as Kazakhstan on the Chinese border over, around and under the Caspian Sea to the South Caucasus and from there north to Ukraine and Poland to the Baltic Sea and onto Western Europe, and south along the Mediterranean to Israel to be shipped on tankers through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea and across the Arabian Sea to countries like India and Japan. That is, back to East Asia where much of it originated.

     If any more grand (or grandiose) and far-reaching geopolitical design has ever been contemplated, history fails to record it.

     Chinese military analyst Lin Zhiyuan summed up the general stratgey over two years ago:

     “[N]ew military bases, airports and training bases will be built in Hungary, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria and other nations to ensure “gangways” to some areas in the Middle East, African and Asia in possible military actions in the years ahead. “More important, the United States will successfully move eastward the gravity and frontline of its Europe defense, go on beefing up its military presence in the Baltic states and the central Asia region, and also raise its capability to contain Russia by stepping into the backyard of the former Soviet Union. “James L. Jones, commander of the European command of the US army [EUCOM, as well as NATO], acknowledged that EETAF [Eastern European Task Force] would “greatly upgrade” the capacity of coordinating the forces of the U.S. and its allies, and the capacity of training and operation in Eurasia and the Caucasian region, so that they are able to make faster responses in some conflict areas….” (People’s Daily, December 5, 2006)

     The author was perhaps referring to an earlier statement by James Jones, one reported on the US State Department’s website on March 10, 2006:

     “[Jones] discussed ongoing shifts in troop levels, the creation of rotational force hubs in Bulgaria and Romania, and initiatives in Africa….Those forces remaining in Europe will focus on being able swiftly to deploy to temporary locations in southeast Europe, Eurasia and Africa. Along the Black Sea, recent basing agreements will allow U.S. forces to start establishing an Eastern European Task Force [which will] “significantly increases” the ability of U.S. and partner forces to coordinate and conduct training and missions in Eurasia and the Caucasus…. Jones also described Caspian Guard, a program to improve the capabilities of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan in a strategic region that borders northern Iran. “Africa’s vast potential makes African stability a near-term global strategic imperative.”

     In the past week the Pentagon’s Central Command chief General David Petraeus visited Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan and Turkmenistan, the first and third on both ends of the Caspian Sea and the two largest producers of oil and natural gas in Central Asia.

     This is the further implementation of Jones’ plan which he bluntly articulated well over three years ago:

     “NATO’s top military commander is seeking an important new security role for private industry and business leaders as part of a new security strategy that will focus on the economic vulnerabilities of the 26-country alliance. “Two immediate and priority projects for NATO officials to develop with private industry are to secure the pipelines bringing Russian oil and gas to Europe…to secure ports and merchant shipping, the alliance Supreme Commander, Gen. James Jones of the U.S. Marine Corps said Wednesday. “A further area of NATO interest to secure energy supplies could be the Gulf of Guinea off the West African coast, Jones noted…’a serious security problem.’ Oil companies were already spending more than a billion dollars a year on security in the region, he noted, pointing to the need for NATO and business to confer on the common security concern.” (United Press International, October 13, 2005)

     On the far western end of what British geographer and proto-geostrategist Halford Mackinder called the World Island (Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East) lies the Atlantic Coast of Africa and the Gulf of Guinea.

     It is here that then EUCOM and NATO top military commander Jones arranged the foundation of the future AFRICOM.

     Though not without attending to the rest of the continent as well during his dual tenure from 2003-2006.

     In April of 2006 he already advocated the following:

     “Jones…raised the prospect of NATO taking a role to counter piracy off the coast of the Horn of Africa and the Gulf of Guinea, especially when it threatens energy supply routes to Western nations.” (Associated Press, April 24, 2006)

     Two and a half years before NATO initiated the Atalanta interdiction operation in the Horn of Africa and the Gulf of Aden last autumn (NATO warships even docked at the Kenyan port city of Mombasa), Jones was laying the groundwork for the NATO cum European Union mission of today.

     As the Horn of Africa region was the only part of Africa not formerly in EUCOM’s area of responsibility (in was in Central Command’s), Jones was clearly speaking of an AFRICOM that wouldn’t appear for another 30 months.

     Also, in addition to bilateral military agreements with Northern African states, Jones was NATO Supreme Commander in 2004 when at the Istanbul summit NATO upgraded the Alliance’s seven Mediterranean Dialogue members – the bulk of which are in North Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia) – to an enhanced partnership status.

     He also created the military wing of the US State Department’s Pan Sahel Initiative. The Pentagon’s website described it in early 2006 as follows:

     “The 2002 Pan Sahel Initiative involved training and equipping a least one rapid-reaction company in each of the four Sahel states: Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Chad. The current initiative involves those four states and Algeria, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia and Nigeria.

     “‘U.S. Naval Forces Europe, (the command’s) lead component in this initiative, has developed a robust maritime security strategy and regional 10-year campaign plan for the Gulf of Guinea region.’ “‘Africa’s vast potential makes African stability a near-term global strategic imperative,’ Jones said.” (Defense Link, March 8, 2006}

     In the following year an Algerian article called “U.S. embassies turned into command posts in North Africa” added this:

     “[T]he countries involved in the U.S. embassies command posts are Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritania, Niger, Mali, Chad and Senegal. A major focus of AFRICOM will be the Gulf of Guinea, with its enormous oil reserves in Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Angola and the Congo Republic…. -The U.S. is already pouring $500 million into its Trans-Sahel Counterterrorism Initiative that embraces Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria in North Africa, and nations boarding the Sahara including Mauritania, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Chad and Senegal.” (Ech Chorouk, October 17, 2007}

     And in May of 2005 NATO began its first official operation on the African continent, transporting troops to the Darfur region of Sudan, thereby beginning Western military intrusion into the Central African Republic-Chad-Sudan triangle.

     Yet the Gulf of Guinea remained the main focus of attention.

     No later than 2003 Western news sources reported on a suspected unprecedented oil bonanza in the former Portuguses possessions of Sao Tome and Principe in the Gulf.

     Shortly afterward there was talk of the Pentagon establishing a naval base on Sao Tome.

     The State Department estimated at the time that the US was then currently importing 15% of its oil from the Gulf of Guinea and that the figure would rise to 25% in a few years.

     Western Africa oil offers two key advantages to the US. It’s comparatively high-grade crude and can be transported on tankers directly across the Atlantic Ocean, thereby circumventing straits, canals and other potential chokepoints and attendant customs duties and taxes by littoral nations.

     Throughout his time as EUCOM and NATO top military commander Jones touted what he described as ongoing and permanent US and NATO naval presence in the Gulf.

     In June of 2006 NATO helds its first large-scale military exercises in Africa, in fact initiating the NATO Rapid Response Force, north of the Gulf in Cape Verde.

     Below are accounts of the drills:

     “Hundreds of elite North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) troops backed by fighter planes and warships will storm a tiny volcanic island off Africa’s Atlantic coast this week in what the Western alliance hopes will prove a potent demonstration of its ability to project power around the world.” (Associated Press, June 21, 2006)

     “Seven thousand NATO troops conducted war games on the Atlantic Ocean island of Cape Verde on Thursday in the latest sign of the alliance’s growing interest in playing a role in Africa. “The land, air and sea exercises were NATO’s first major deployment in Africa and designed to show the former Cold War giant can launch far-flung military operations at short notice. “‘You are seeing the new NATO, the one that has the ability to project stability,’ said NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer told a news conference after NATO troops stormed a beach on one of the islands on the archipelago in a mock assault on a fictitious terrorist camp. “NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe James Jones, the alliance soldier in charge of NATO operations, said he hoped the two-week Cape Verde exercises would help break down negative images about NATO in Africa and elsewhere.” (Reuters, June 22, 2006)

     Jones may have inveigled Reuters with concerns about NATO’s public image, but its rival agency was more forthcoming:

     “NATO is developing a special plan to safeguard oil and gas fields in the region, says its Supreme Allied Commander on Europe, Gen. James Jones.

     “He said a training session will be held in the Atlantic oceanic area and the Cabo Verde island in June to outline activities to protect the routes transporting oil to Western Europe….Jones said the alliance is ready to ensure the security of oil-producing and transporting regions.” (Associated Press, May 2, 2006)

     That same month Jones was in the northern tip of the Gulf, in Monrovia, the capital of the one nation on the continent that seemed at first willing to host the future AFRICOM’s headquarters after Washington assisted in the toppling of the Charles Taylor government and the installation of former US-based Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to head its successor.

     A local paper reported:

     “A United States military delegation today met with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf at her Executive Mansion office in Monrovia. The delegation was headed by General James Jones of the US Marine Corps who is also the head of the US government European Command. “Also with General Jones today were seven members of his delegation, who were in full US military uniform. General Jones reaffirmed his government’s support in assisting the Liberian government in the formation of the new Liberian army. He said some members of his command, were due in Liberia soon, to begin the training of the new Liberian army, which is expected to begin in July. (African News Dimension, June 2, 2006)

     Two months before the US State Department reported on another of Jones’ African plans, the Gulf of Guinea Maritime Security Initiative, and thereby tied together a few threads in Washington’s African tapestry:

     “‘Left unattended, political instability in Africa could require reactive and repeated interventions at enormous costs, as in the case of Liberia,’ Jones said.” (Washington File, April 7, 2006)

     And in the intervening month Jones reminded readers that he still wore two commanders’ caps and that his energy and broader geopolitical strategy encompassed, still, both south and east:

     “‘Our strategic goal is to expand…to Eastern Europe and Africa…. -”‘The United States is not unchallenged in its quest to gain influence in and access to Africa.’” (Stars And Stripes, March 9, 2006)

     And so it remains.

     The West, the US in the first instance, is waging an unparalleled drive to retain and expand what military, political and economic domination and monopolies it has wrested from the rest of the world over the past five centuries, and control of the globe’s energy resources and their transportation is a vital component of that reckless campaign.

     Africa is rapidly shaping up to be a major battleground in that international struggle.

     With James Jones as new US National Security chief, complemented by the ’soft power’ efforts of former State Department Africa hand Dr. Susan Rice as probable US ambassador to the United Nations, the continent’s and the world’s guard must not be relaxed.

     Looking back at comment number 186 by brother ’spops’, I would like to say that the Raafidhah are Kuffaar! Yes Kuffaar, thats right, and they cannot be trusted because the Raafidhah are known for their famous backstabbing of this great Ummah such was the examples of their forefathers ibn al-Alqami and Abdullah ibn As-Sawdaa the JEW!

     @ Sister Lubna how can you support Hezbollah (more like HezboShaytaan) when they are Raafidhah, I noticed you said you support Hezbollah, why sister? Is because what they do seems like Jihad? Well, that isn’t the reality. Wallahi, brothers and sisters if you knew how the sons of Ahl Sunnah are treated by these Shi’a scum, you would change your mind. If only you knew how they were treated in Iran….

     And finally I would like to say I do not see Hamas as an Islamic movement they might appear from outwardly to be Islamic but really, they mix it nationalism and democracy, they do not rule by Shari’ah, etc.

     If anybody disagrees with I have said please respond…

     Assalamu Alaikum Sister Lubna,

     We should not have biased view looking at the images from jihad fronts that are broadcast in the media with graphic images. You only see these images as the illegitimate Zionist state is the adversary. Gaza and Palestine are not the only Jihad fronts. Much more innocent blood has been spilled in other parts of Muslim world from Algeria to Afghanistan. Remember, tiny Chechnya has been converted to a parking lot by savage Russian bombardment and Chechens have lost over 30% population in genocidal war unleashed by Russia in last decade. Recently the struggle in Caucausus has taken a very positive approach with Chechens abondoning “freedom” for Chechnya. They have now declared an Emirate of Caucasus that extends from Black sea to Dagestan near Caspian sea encompassing 7 semi autonomous Muslim Republics with no relevance to freedom for Chechnya . Check http://www.kavkazcenter.net.
     Here Hamas should take a lesson. Hamas and its Iranian supporters have taken a treacherous role by embracing war criminal Putin who is supposedly giving them nuclear knowhow. Ask a Mujahid from Caucasus how he feels when he sees the images of Khalid Meshal embracing war criminal Putin in Moscow at a time when genocide is under way all across Caucasus. Iranian PM has visited and embraced the puppet Karzai and participates regularly in Central Asian meetings ignoring the mass killings, imprisonment and brutal suppression of Muslims in that part of the world. Check amnesty repots about treatment of prisoners in Uzbekistan. Remember how the Baathist criminal thug Assad of Syria was made a hero overnight by Israeli withdrawal from Golan heights. Same is true for Hizbullah. Hizbullah is aligned with the secular US supported government of Lebanon that still clings to the colonial constitution dictated by ertswhile french colonialists. Please do not forget that in 2007 Hizbullah openly sided with the crusader Lebanese army during the seige and obliteration of a Palestinian refugee camp in Nahr al Bared that killed hundreds of innocents. Insha’allah time will tell who is the real supporter of Muslims in Palestine? And who knows it may be some one like Salauddin who was neither a Arab nor a Palestinian who will liberate Masjid Al Aqsa from the neo crusaders.

     Atikah bint Amr ibn Nafil was one of the most beautiful women of Quraysh. She married AbdurRahman ibn Abu Bakr, who was extremely fearful of Allah, handsome and considerate of his parents. AbdurRahman was very much in love with Atikah. One day his father passed by and visited him in his home. When he saw how taken his son was with Atikah, he advised him to divorce her, as she had run away with his reason and overcome his senses. AbdurRahman told his father that he was not able to do this. His father said, “I endure you to do so!” Since AbdurRahman was not humanly able to oppose his father, he divorced his wife. However, after the divorce, he became extremely unhappy and even stopped eating and drinking..

     Abu Bakr went to him one day, but his son didn’t even notice him. He realized that his son was totally devastated by the divorce. AbdurRahman was lying in the sun reciting the following: “I swear by Allah that I will never forget you as long as the sun rises, and as long as the ring-necked dove coos. I cannot imagine one such as me divorcing one like her, nor one like her being divorced without any reason. She is chaste, religious, and noble. She has a balanced personality and a logical mind.” After hearing this, Abu Bakr advised his son to take her back. AbdurRahman obeyed his father, and they were reunited. Atikah remained with him until he was killed by an arrow while out with the Prophet -sallallahu alahi wasallam- on the day of Ta’if.

     Atikah later married Umar during his Khilafah. Their union ended with his death at the hands of an assassin. Some time passed, then Az-Zubayr ibn Al-Awwam proposed to her and subsequently married her.

     It was Atikah’s custom to leave the house so that she could pray in the mosque. Az-Zubayr was possessive. It upset him to see her leaving the house to pray in the mosque. He appealed to her to stop, but she saw no reason to give up praying in the mosque in which she had prayed behind behind the Prophet -sallallahu alaihi wasallam, Abu Bakr, and Umar. Az-Zubayr knew that he should not forbid her from praying in the Prophet’s mosque, because he knew the hadith in which the Prophet -sallallahu alaihi wasallam had said, “Do not forbid Allah’s female slaves (from attending) His mosque”. So one night when she went out to the mosque, Az-Zubayr hid himself in a place where she could not see him. As she passed by, he hit at her. After that incident, she decided not to go out to the mosque anymore. He would say to her, “Aren’t you going out Atikah?” She would reply, “I used to go out (to pray) when people were people and they didn’t want to harm anyone, but now I’ll not go.”

     Then Az-Zubayr was martyred, and she subsequently married Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr, who was killed in Egypt. At this point, she decided that she would never marry anyone else after him, for fear that he too would be martyred. She once said, “If I were to marry all the inhabitants of the earth, they would all be killed.” She was given the affectionate name “Zawjah Ash-Shuhada” – the wife of the martyrs.

     Bismillah

     as salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah

     Just as this religion has pillars and conditions, so does each of the concepts within Islam from sadaqah to Jihad.

     Therefore the best way is to traverse the path that was taken by the pious predecessors from this religion and to walk in their footsteps as they were the most wise and most knowledgeable about this deen.

     Remember that Allah is not in need of anything from us but we are in need of Allah and nobody will enter paradise except by the mercy of the Almighty.

     I advise you and myself that the Kuffar love money and wealth and they are striving for world domination because of greed of this life.
     Therefore, deny them the use of your money in their banks and preach this point to the masses. You may think that it doesn’t matter, but a house built of cards only needs one to give away and the others follow.

     May Allah guide me, you and all the Muslims back to obedience and understanding. Ameen

     Bismillah walhamdulillah

     .
     If you listen to the lectures of the imam Al Awlaki on issues such as Jihaad, you will learn that never in the Qur’an has Allaah praised the muslims for winning a battle. Victory of the muslims is never due to numbers of soldiers, or weaponry, or a difference of technological means. It is only ever due to Allaah.
     .
     There is an incident in the Seerah where, at the battle of Uhud, the Prophet (’alayhissalaam) was short of fighters. A mushrik asked the Prophet (’alayhissalaam) if he could join in on the muslim side. The Prophet (’alayhissalaam) said I don’t need help from the Mushrikeen (i.e that man).
     .
     Most Shia are mushrikeen, because Imaam Khoemeini states ”… the Imam has…mastery over all atoms of creation” which is clear shirk in the sharing of the attribute of Allaah as having control over his creation, with his creation (i.e. a human ‘imaam’).
     If you two, Salah and lubna, are muslim then don’t be offended by what I have said as, after all, I am just an internet stranger right?
     .
     If you are among the lying zionists or some other enemy of Islaam, then i hope Allaah guides you to Islaam (i.e. total submission to the truth that is the will of God) or that Allaah holds back your hands from your evil efforts so that your punishment be lightened in the hellfire.

     Salam alaikum, i actually agree with post 196 am pretty sure we can make alliances with other folk against a third party because arent one of the signs of the hour that us and the romans are going to be fighting a common enemy and then they break the treaty…
     so y cnt we seek arms trades and the such from iran or theoretically china against a common enemy but our intention is for jihad and theirs their own intrest
     wAllahu 3lam
     ps didnt the prophet (pbuh) make mutual deffense pacts with the tribes of arabia before their conversion ?

     Assalampalikum Brothers and Sisters,

     I just wish to add a sentence or two inshallah to the ongoing debate whether supporting hezbollah and iran is correct or not…

     Brother and Sisters remember that jihad has been decalred fard by Allah subhan o wa tala for the sole purpose of TAWHEED, we sacrifce our souls, brothers and sons on the fields of jihad to uphold the flag of tawheed, and if some one is fighting for anyother purpose, you can give it anyname but not Jihad fee sabelilallah.

     Our mujahid Muwahid brothers shout in the heat of battle “Allah o Akbar” while the shias shout ” Ya Ali and Ya Hussain ” whilst fighting.
     Now if someone thinks that having the ideology of Ya Ali and Ya Hussain doesnt effects the Tawheed, he/she better should read more about the core pillar of islam from Noh A.s to Muhammad S.w.

     “The Roads of Desires to the Fate of the Admirers”

     A man called Abu Qudamah Ash-Shami, who lived in the Prophet’s Madinah, was known for his love for Jihad in Allah’s cause and participating in expeditions to the land of the Romans. One day, while conversing with some of his companions in the Prophet’s Holy Mosque in Madinah, they said: “O Abu Qudamah, tell us about the most amazing thing you have witnessed while in Jihad”. He replied:

     I once arrived at the city of Riqqa (in Iraq) seeking to purchase a camel to carry my weapons. One day, a woman entered to where I was sitting and said: “O Abu Qudamah, I was listening to what you mentioned about Jihad and your incitement for Muslims to join it. I have been blessed with more hair than many other women; I have cut it and made a horse’s rein out of, and I have covered it with dust so that no one can recognise it. I wish that you take it with you, so that when you arrive to the land of the disbelievers, and the horsemen engage in battle, the arrows are fired, the swords are drawn, and the spears are pulled out, either use it if you find the need for it, or hand it to whoever needs it, for I wish that my hair will witness the battle and will get the dust in the Way of Allah. I am a widowed woman who had a husband and a number of relatives, who were all killed in Allah’s Path; I would have joined Jihad had it been required of me.” She then handed over the rein to me.

     She then said: “O Abu Qudamah, know that my husband left me a son who is amongst the finest of youths: He has learnt the Qur’an, the art of swordsmanship, as well as archery; he prays at night and fasts during the day, and he is 15 years of age. He is currently away at a property which he has inherited from his father. Hopefully he will get back before your departure, for I wish to send him with you as a gift to Allah the Exaltand most High. And I ask you by Allah that you do not deprive me from gaining the rewards I seek.”

     Abu Qudamah said: I had departed from Riqqa with my companions, when I heard a horseman calling out from behind: “O Abu Qudamah, wait for me

     for a while, may Allah have mercy on you.” I stopped and said to my companions: Go forth while I check who it is. The horseman then approached me, hugged me, and said: “Praised be Allah who did not deny me from your company and did not turn me back disappointed”. I said: “My beloved, let me see your face, for, if it is imperative on someone of your age to fight, I would command you to join us, otherwise I would turn you back”. When he uncovered his face, I saw a young man who is like a full moon (in beauty), and who seems to have been living a wealthy life. I said: “My beloved, do you have a father?” He said: “No, in fact I am coming with you seeking revenge for my father who was martyred, perhaps Allah will grant me martyrdom as he granted my father”. I said: “My beloved, do you have a mother?” “Yes”, he replied. I then said: “Then go and ask her permission, if she permits you to go then come back, otherwise stay back with her”.

     The young man said: “O Abu Qudamah! Don’t you recognise me?” “No”, I replied. He said: “I am the son of the woman who gave you the trust. How fast did you forget my mother’s request! I am -Insha’ Allah- the martyr son of the martyr! I ask you by Allah not to stop me from going forth with you in Allah’s way, for I memorise Allah’s Book, and have knowledge of the Prophet’s Sunnah, and I am experienced in horsemanship and shooting, and I have not left behind someone who is a better fighter than myself, so despise me not for my young age. My mother has taken an oath that I should not come back, and said: ‘O son! If you meet the disbelievers, turn not your back to them, and offer your soul to Allah, and seek to be close to Allah, and the company of your father and your righteous uncles in the Heaven; and if Allah grants you martyrdom, then intercede on my behalf, for I was told that the martyr can plead on behalf of seventy of his relatives, and seventy of his neighbors’. She then hugged me, lifted her head to the heavens and said: ‘My Lord, Master and God, this is my son, the flower of my heart and the dearest to my soul, I present him to you, so draw him nearer to his father’.”

     When I heard the youth’s words, I wept in grief over his good character and the beauty of his youth, and out of pity for his mother’s heart, and over my astonishment at her patience on being away from him.

     We went on with our journey; we rested at nightfall, and took off in the morning. During that time the youth did not cease remembering Allah and glorifying Him. I observed his movements, and found that he was better than us when riding, and our servant once we dismounted. As we got closer and closer to the enemy, he would strengthen our determination, his spirit would fortify, his heart would purify, and the signs of happiness would cover him.

     We proceeded until we were close to the land of the Kuffar. It was near sunset when we alighted. The young man was cooking food for us to break our fast when he fell asleep. He slept for a long time, and I could see him smiling during his sleep. When he woke up, I said to him: “My beloved, I saw you smiling while asleep”. He said: “I saw a vision which I liked and made me laugh”. I said: “What was it you saw?” He said: “I saw myself in an elegant green garden. While wandering in it, I faced a silver castle which had balconies made of pearls and jewels. Its doors were made of gold, and its curtains were lowered. I then saw some maids, whose faces were like the moons (in beauty), lifting the curtains. Upon seeing me, they said: ‘Welcome’. I then heard some of them saying to the others: ‘This is the husband of the ‘Mardhiyyah’ (Blessed)’. They then said to me: ‘Come forth, may Allah have mercy on you’. When I approached, I saw a room on the top of the castle, it was made of red gold, and had a green bed made of jewels, and its legs were made of white silver. There was a girl on the bed whose face was like the sun, and had it not been for Allah’s help I would have lost my sight, and I would have lost my mind, because of the brilliance of the room, and the beauty of the girl. Upon seeing me, the girl greeted me saying: ‘Welcome, O Allah’s servant and His beloved! You are mine and I am yours.’ I wanted to hug her, but she said: ‘Slow down, do not rush, you are not one of those who do wrong. However, we shall meet tomorrow at the time of Zuhur prayers, so rejoice!’.”

     Abu Qudamah said: I then told him: “My beloved, you saw but good, and good it shall be Insha’ Allah.”

     Amazed at the youth’s dream, we went to sleep. When we woke up, we rushed, mounted our horses, and the caller cried: “O Allah’s horsemen! Mount, and rejoice with Paradise, ‘March forth, whether you are light or heavy’ [Qur’an, 9:41].” It was only an hour before the army of Kufur, may Allah humiliate it, approached as if they were locusts spread abroad. The first of us to attack them was the youth, who scattered them, dispersed their lines, and plunged into their ranks; he killed many of their men, and knocked down their heroes. When I saw him doing this, I caught up with him, grabbed his horse’s rein, and said: My beloved, retreat! You are a young boy who is inexperienced in warfare. He replied: “O uncle! Did you not hear Allah’s saying: ‘O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve, in battle a field, never turn your backs to them’, do you wish for me to enter the Fire of Hell?”

     While talking, the Mushriks launched a great offensive, which caused us to separate, and each of us had to look after himself. When the two parties separated, the killed were countless. I rode around examining the killed, whose blood was flowing on the ground, and who could not be recognized due to the dust and blood which covered their faces.

     While riding, I saw the youth between the horses’ hooves, covered with dust and blood; he was saying: “O Muslims! For Allah’s Sake, get my uncle Abu Qudamah to come to me!” Upon hearing his crying, I ran towards him. I could not recognise his face because of the blood, and the marks from the horses’ footsteps. I said: “Here I am, this is Abu Qudamah”. He said: “O uncle, by the Lord of the Ka’bah, my dream has come true. I am the son of the rein’s owner!” Upon hearing this, I threw myself on him, kissed him between the eyes, wiped the dust and blood off his face, and said: O my beloved! Do not forget your uncle Abu Qudamah, make him amongst those you intercede on their behalf on the Day of Judgement! He replied: “The likes of you cannot be forgotten! You wipe my face with your gown? My gown is worthier. O uncle, leave it, for I wish to meet Allah in this state. O uncle! The Hoor (girl of Paradise) that I described to you, she’s at my head, waiting for my soul to depart from my body, and she is saying to me:

     ‘Hurry, I am longing for you.’ O uncle, for the Sake of Allah, if He was to bring you back safely, take my blood-stained clothes to my poor, grieved and sad mother, present them to her, and tell her:

     ‘Allah has accepted your gift’.” He then smiled and said: “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, no partner has He; He has kept His promise, and I bear witness that Muhammad is Allah’s servant and Messenger; this is what Allah and His Messenger has promised us, and Allah and His Messenger were true to their promise.” His soul then left his body.

     We then enshrouded him with his clothes, and buried him, may Allah be pleased with him and us.

     When we returned from our expedition and entered the Riqqa, I headed towards the house of the young man’s mother. She came out, and seemed very worried. I greeted her, she answered my Salam and said: “Did you come as a condoler or as a rejoicer?” Explain to me what is a condolence and what is a rejoice to you, may Allah have mercy on you, I replied. She said: “If my son has come back safe, then you are indeed a condoler. Whereas if he has been killed in Allah’s Path, then you are a rejoicer!” I said: Rejoice, for Allah has accepted your gift!

     Upon hearing this she wept and said: “Did He accept it?” I said: Yes. Thereupon she said: “Praise be to Allah who spared him for me on the Day of Judgement.”.

     May Allah (SWT) give us the hikmah to take correct lesson from this and give us the iman and taqwa to act upon it.

     Ameen

     I have to add to this:

     The boy said while he was covered in blood in addition to what was above “I also have a little sister and she almost died due to the news of my father’s death, so keep my matter hidden to her and take this cloth as a sign as my mother would not believe if you do not show this to her..”

     Abu Qudamah said “On my return to the city, people were coming and embracing their relatives, when I heard a little girl asking people “did you see so and so? (her brother’s name) and where is uncle Maqdesi?”, so Maqdesi (As Shami in the above narration), came to her and having knowing her told her “lead me to your mother” which she did.

     So Maqdesi showed the cloth to the mother in secret and the mother praised (as above), but then he saw that the girl has overheard the conversation and saw her eyes in tears and she started to cry and fell short in breath! So Maqdesi took her tried to make her breath but after a while of this, the girl passed away…!

     The mother praises Allah and said “O Allah I thank you for accepting from two gifts in one day” and after the burial, she ran and went in to her house and closed the door, Maqdesi went and asked that she will get a share of booty, to which she replied from inside “I gave this purely for Allah’s sake and do not wish anything in return but Thawab…”

     Maqdesi in amazement and sadness, left the place.

     @saladin, may Allah ease the pain in your heart ukhi

     How are they to please their Lord if the IZZAH in their countries does not belong to Allah swt) nor His Messenger saws) nor to the believers? How are they to be safe from His punishment if they do not establish a state that would prepare its military might , defend its territory, implement Allah’s Rules and rule by what Allah has revealed? Therefor, the Muslims must establish the Islamic state, for Islam would not have an influential existence unless it is ruled by that which Allah swt) has revealed.

     The Islamic State is by no means an easy endeavour. The pursuit of it should not fuel false hopes to opportunities [ with the purpose of acquiring a posistion in it] The road is embedded with thorns , full of perils , obstacles and hardship, not to mention the non Islamic culture, shallow thinking and pro- Western regimes which form a formidable obstacle. Those who truly tread the path of the Islamic call to restore the Islamic state , would be aiming to assume the authority in order to resume the Islamic way of life in the Muslim lands, and to convey the Message of Islam to the whole world. That is why they would reject sharing authority with anyone, no matter how great the temptation. They would also reject absolute rule unless they were capable of implementing Islam comprehensively , radically and instantaneously.

     The Islamic state is an obligation that Allah swt) has decreed for the Muslims and commanded them to fulfill. He swt) warned of the punishment awaiting those who neglect this duty and promised reward to those who pursue this duty.

     Aslam Alaikum My blessed brothers and sisters.
     Subhan’Allah likewise the story of Abu Qataamah ashaami is amazing,… May Allah bring out the likes of this noble man to Strive, please and earn the laughter of Allah (SWT)…
     And May those Allah has blessed with children, May you instill in their hearts the love for Allah, and His prophet and to Sacrifice-in-His-Cause. Indeed Archery and Swimming, Graplings. guns (Toy ones for the very young) is a very good idea and is from the blessed Sunnah. And again May Allah Ta’la Allow us to Sacrfice ourselfs, wife and children for this Cause…

     Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight … are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause , then wait until Allah brings about His Decision (torment). And Allah guides not the people who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah). At-Taubah-24

     Here is a Amazing story about A Great Sahabi, who again Sacrificed for his Rubb,… Of Malls and Mus’ab bin ‘Umair – Written By a Blessed Sister ‘Umm Rashid’

     Big city, bright lights. Cars flash in fast lanes. Young Muslims are getting ready to hit the “night scene”. Branded shoes and designer clothes in place, clutching the latest mobile gizmos and sporting the trendiest watches, their perfume smells — more than anything else – of money.

     You can see them “hanging out” in groups, lolling in the bright lights of a megamall, lingering aimlessly in hypershops, buying a knick knack to drive away the boredom; even if it’s just for a second.

     You can see them sipping cappucino at a Starbucks café …watching people go by, sharing a joke and laughing raucously; vacant eyes straying over to huge tv screens for the latest football score.

     You can see them racing cars dangerously late into the night, music blasting from the stereos, startling passersby while they laugh in their faces. A standard sight.

     Each time I see this all-too familiar scene, I find myself thinking of someone. Someone who lies buried in the blood-wet earth of ‘Uhud, feet covered by scented grass and his body covered only by a square woollen sheet that was not even sufficient to cover him completely. Someone who was his mother’s pampered son, he wore the best clothes his rich mother’s money could buy, his perfume scented the streets he walked through. The talk of Makkan matrons and maidens in their plush salons, the toast of his peers in the city’s clubs, the most flamboyant young man of the Quraysh, who left a life of pleasuring the Self to gain the pleasure of Allaah: Mus’ab bin Umair bin Hashim bin Abd Munaf who was also known as Mus’ab al Khair.

     Mus’ab was only a youth when he heard of the new Prophet who had arisen among the Quraysh and his Message of monotheism; Makkah talked of very little else in those days. His curiosity piqued by all the talk, Mus’ab decided to approach the Prophet sall Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam on his own to determine the truth of his Message.

     One night, instead of joining his friends in their customary revelry, Mus’ab made his way to the house of Al-Arqaam Ibn Al-Arqaam which came to be known as Daar al Arqaam among the Muslims. It was here that the Prophet met with the growing band of Muslims, away from the eyes of the Quraysh. It was here that the Companions talked over the future of their faith, heard and recited newly revealed portions of the Qur’aan and prayed behind the Prophet sall Allaahu ‘alayhi wassallam to Allaah.

     That night, Mus’ab sat down among the gathering of the faithful and heard the Prophet sall Allaahu ‘alayhi wassallam recite verses of the Qur’aan. From that moment on he forgot for ever his life of luxury and indolence, in the ecstasy of discovering the key to eternal life.

     Mus’ab’s path to the faith was not easy – his mother, Khunnas bint Maalik, a strong willed woman infamous for her sharp temper and sharper tongue – was his chief opponent. In order to avoid an unpleasant confrontation with his mother, Mus’ab initially avoided telling her about his new faith. However, people found him frequenting Daar Al-Arqaam more than his usual haunts and saw him coming under the influence of the Prophet sall Allaahu ‘alayhi wasallam. It wasn’t long before news of his conversion reached his mother.

     Reacting with the imperiousness of her nature, her pride in her lineage and her age-old allegiance to the gods, she commanded Mus’ab to return and repent to the gods he had abandoned in his “foolishness”; and when he refused, she had him shackled and imprisoned in a corner of the house.

     Somehow, news of the first emigration of some Muslims to Abyssinia reached Mus’ab in his incarceration and his heart longed to join his brothers in the faith. Using his ingenuity, he managed to delude his mother and his guards and escaped to Abyssinia with other emigrants. Later, he returned to Makkah with them for a short while and emigrated a second time, this time as the Prophet [SAW]’s chosen envoy to the new centre of faith: Yathrib.

     When Mus’ab returned from Abyssinia, his mother sought to imprison him yet again. But this time he vowed that if she attempted that, he would kill all those who came to her aid to lock him up. She knew the intensity of his determination better than anyone else and so she bade him a final farewell, crying bitterly: Go away, I am no longer your mother.

     At this, Mus’ab went close to her and said: O Mother, I am advising you and my heart is with you, please bear witness that there is no God but Allaah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.

     Enraged, she swore: By the stars, I will never enter your religion, to degrade my status and weaken my senses!

     But Mus’ab entered Islaam in the spirit of the Qur’aan when it says: udkhuloo fi silme kaafah [enter into Islaam completely]. He forsook every semblance of satisfaction of the Self for the sake of Allaah – his dress was tattered, his food was simple, the bare earth was his bed.

     One day he went out to meet some Muslims while they were sitting around the Prophet sall Allaahu alayhi wassallam, and when they saw him they lowered their heads and shed silent tears at the sight of the pampered youth of their memory , moving about in wornout patches held together by thorns, which barely covered him. After Mus’ab moved away from the gathering, the Prophet sall Allaahu alayhi wassallam recalled: I saw Mus’ab, and there was no youth in Makkah more petted by his parents than he. Then he abandoned all that for the love of Allaah and His Prophet.

     Recognizing Mus’ab’s noble manners and patience, the Prophet [SAW] commissioned him to instruct the people of Yathrib who had pledged their allegiance to the Prophet at ‘Aqabah, to call others to Islaam and to prepare the city for the eventual migration of the Prophet [SAW].

     At that time, there were among the Companions men of sterling character and nerves of steel, men who were older and more experienced in the ways of the world; yet he [SAW] chose Mus’ab as his representative. And Mus’ab proved worthy of the Prophet’s choice many times over, dealing with detractors with patience and sagacity.

     Mus’ab entered Yathrib as a guest of Sa’ad ibn Zurarah of the Khazraj tribe. Together they went approached the citizens of Yathrib, explaining the message of Monotheism and reciting the Qur’aan. Once Musa’ab and Sa’ad were sitting near a well in an orchard of Banee Zafar, when they were approached by Usayd ibn Khudayr brandishing a spear in obvious rage. Sa’ad whispered to Mus’ab: This is a chieftain of his people. May Allaah place the truth in his heart.

     Mus’ab replied calmly: If he sits down, I will speak to him.

     Usayd was angry at the success of Mus’ab’s mission and shouted angrily: Why have you both come to us to corrupt the weak among us? Keep away from us if you want to stay alive. At this, Musa’ab smiled and said softly: Won’t you sit down and listen? If you are pleased and satisfied with our mission, accept it; and if you dislike it we will stop telling you what you dislike and leave. Sticking his spear into the ground, Usayd sat down to hear them out. As Musa’ab began telling him about Islaam and

     reciting portions of the Qur’aan to Usayd’s expression changed. The first words he uttered were : How beautiful are these words and how true! What does a person do if he wants to enter this religion?

     Mus’ab explained: Have a bath, purify yourself and your clothes. Then utter the testimony of Truth (shahadah), and perform prayers. Usayd testified that there is no god but Allaah and that Muhammad is His Messenger, prayed two rakaats of salaah and was followed by another influential man: Sa’ad ibn Muaadh.

     By the time the Prophet [SAW] emigrated, there was not a single household in Yathrib in which Mus’ab had not endeared himself and the Message of Islaam. In the subsequent pilgrimage, he led a company of 70 people went from Yathrib to pledge allegiance to the Prophet.

     In a famous incident after the victory at Badr, the Muslims captured some Makkans and sought to ransom them. Mus’ab was passing by the ranks of prisoners and stopped when saw his brother, Abu Azeez ibn Umayr among them. However, instead of interceding on his behalf, he instructed his brother’s captor to bind him securely and to extract a large ransom for the prisoner, because “his mother is a very rich woman” When the brother sought to remind Mus’ab of his relationship, Mus’ab replied: I only recognize brotherhood of the faith, this man is my brother, not you!

     At ‘Uhud, the Prophet sall Allaahu alayhi wassallam chose Mus’ab to bear the battle standard. In the melee that followed the archers descent from the hill where they were stationed, in violation of the Prophet [SAW]’s orders, the Makkans fought back fiercely. Taken unawares by the cavalry of the Quraysh attacking from the rear, the Muslim ranks scattered. Intent on harming the Prophet [SAW], the Makkans searched for him while he was being guarded only by a handful of companions. Suddenly, someone shouted that the Prophet [SAW] was no more.

     It was at this juncture that Mus’ab’s glorious life reached a fitting culmination: Ibrahim ibn Muhammad related from his father, who said: Mus’ab ibn ‘Umair carried the standard on the Day of Uhud. When the Muslims were scattered, he stood fast until he met Ibn Qaami’ah who was a knight. He struck him on his right hand and cut it off, but Mus’ab said:And Muhammad is but a Messenger. Messengers have passed away before him . He carried the standard with his left hand and leaned on it, when his left hand was cut off, he leaned on the standard and held it with his upper arms to his chest, all the while saying: And Muhammad is but a Messenger. Messengers have passed away before him. Then a third soldier struck Mus’ab with his spear, and the spear went through him.

     After the battle, the Prophet and his companions came to the plain of ‘Uhud to bury the martyrs, some of whose bodies had been mutilated by the marauding women of the Qur’aysh. Pausing when he saw Mus’ab, the Prophet [SAW] recited: Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Then he [SAW] looked at the remains of his companions in the battlefield and said: The Prophet of Allaah witnesses that you are martyrs to Allaah on the Day of Resurrection.

     There wasn’t enough material to serve as a shroud for Mus’ab. Khabbaab ibn Al-Arat narrated: We emigrated with the Prophet for Allaah’s cause, so our reward became due with Allaah. Some of us passed away without enjoying anything in this life of his reward, and of them was Mus’ab ibn ‘Umair, who was martyred on the Day of Uhud. He did not leave behind anything except a sheet of shredded woollen cloth. If we covered his feet with it, his head was uncovered, and if we covered his feet with it, his head was uncovered. The Prophet [SAW] said to us: Cover his head with it and put lemon grass over his feet.

     It was this memory of Mus’ab in his martyr’s grave, that caused companions like Abdur Rahmaan ibn ‘Awf to cry in fear of having no share in the Hereafter, because they had been granted a life of plenty and ease right here in this world. Once his servant brought him a meal to break his fast and ibn ‘Awf burst into tears, remembering Mus’ab who had passed away without tasting the good of this world, to the certainty of eternal pleasure in the Hereafter.

     As night falls, I think of the shadows lengthening across ‘Uhud where the martyrs lie buried, when visitors drive off leaving the plain quiet, dark and peaceful. I think of the graves of the shuhadaa, resplendent with the dazzling light of the truly fortunate: those who are pleasing to Allaah and are pleased with Him.

     In the neon dazzle of malls, where countless young Muslims strive daily in the trivial pursuit of pleasure, we would do well to bear the memory of Mus’ab radiyy Allaahu anhu in mind. It may keep us from getting lost in the light.

     Of Malls and Mus’ab bin ‘Umair

     Big city, bright lights. Cars flash in fast lanes. Young Muslims are getting ready to hit the “night scene”. Branded shoes and designer clothes in place, clutching the latest mobile gizmos and sporting the trendiest watches, their perfume smells — more than anything else – of money.

     You can see them “hanging out” in groups, lolling in the bright lights of a megamall, lingering aimlessly in hypershops, buying a knick knack to drive away the boredom; even if it’s just for a second.

     You can see them sipping cappucino at a Starbucks café …watching people go by, sharing a joke and laughing raucously; vacant eyes straying over to huge tv screens for the latest football score.

     You can see them racing cars dangerously late into the night, music blasting from the stereos, startling passersby while they laugh in their faces. A standard sight.

     Each time I see this all-too familiar scene, I find myself thinking of someone. Someone who lies buried in the blood-wet earth of ‘Uhud, feet covered by scented grass and his body covered only by a square woollen sheet that was not even sufficient to cover him completely. Someone who was his mother’s pampered son, he wore the best clothes his rich mother’s money could buy, his perfume scented the streets he walked through. The talk of Makkan matrons and maidens in their plush salons, the toast of his peers in the city’s clubs, the most flamboyant young man of the Quraysh, who left a life of pleasuring the Self to gain the pleasure of Allaah: Mus’ab bin Umair bin Hashim bin Abd Munaf who was also known as Mus’ab al Khair.

     Mus’ab was only a youth when he heard of the new Prophet (SAWS)who had arisen among the Quraysh and his Message of monotheism; Makkah talked of very little else in those days. His curiosity piqued by all the talk, Mus’ab decided to approach the Prophet sall Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam on his own to determine the truth of his Message.

     One night, instead of joining his friends in their customary revelry, Mus’ab made his way to the house of Al-Arqaam Ibn Al-Arqaam which came to be known as Daar al Arqaam among the Muslims. It was here that the Prophet met with the growing band of Muslims, away from the eyes of the Quraysh. It was here that the Companions talked over the future of their faith, heard and recited newly revealed portions of the Qur’aan and prayed behind the Prophet sall Allaahu ‘alayhi wassallam to Allaah.

     That night, Mus’ab sat down among the gathering of the faithful and heard the Prophet sall Allaahu ‘alayhi wassallam recite verses of the Qur’aan. From that moment on he forgot for ever his life of luxury and indolence, in the ecstasy of discovering the key to eternal life.

     Mus’ab’s path to the faith was not easy – his mother, Khunnas bint Maalik, a strong willed woman infamous for her sharp temper and sharper tongue – was his chief opponent. In order to avoid an unpleasant confrontation with his mother, Mus’ab initially avoided telling her about his new faith. However, people found him frequenting Daar Al-Arqaam more than his usual haunts and saw him coming under the influence of the Prophet sall Allaahu ‘alayhi wasallam. It wasn’t long before news of his conversion reached his mother.

     Reacting with the imperiousness of her nature, her pride in her lineage and her age-old allegiance to the gods, she commanded Mus’ab to return and repent to the gods he had abandoned in his “foolishness”; and when he refused, she had him shackled and imprisoned in a corner of the house.

     Somehow, news of the first emigration of some Muslims to Abyssinia reached Mus’ab in his incarceration and his heart longed to join his brothers in the faith. Using his ingenuity, he managed to delude his mother and his guards and escaped to Abyssinia with other emigrants. Later, he returned to Makkah with them for a short while and emigrated a second time, this time as the Prophet [SAW]’s chosen envoy to the new centre of faith: Yathrib.

     When Mus’ab returned from Abyssinia, his mother sought to imprison him yet again. But this time he vowed that if she attempted that, he would kill all those who came to her aid to lock him up. She knew the intensity of his determination better than anyone else and so she bade him a final farewell, crying bitterly: Go away, I am no longer your mother.

     At this, Mus’ab went close to her and said: O Mother, I am advising you and my heart is with you, please bear witness that there is no God but Allaah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.

     Enraged, she swore: By the stars, I will never enter your religion, to degrade my status and weaken my senses!

     But Mus’ab entered Islaam in the spirit of the Qur’aan when it says: udkhuloo fi silme kaafah [enter into Islaam completely]. He forsook every semblance of satisfaction of the Self for the sake of Allaah – his dress was tattered, his food was simple, the bare earth was his bed.

     One day he went out to meet some Muslims while they were sitting around the Prophet sall Allaahu alayhi wassallam, and when they saw him they lowered their heads and shed silent tears at the sight of the pampered youth of their memory , moving about in wornout patches held together by thorns, which barely covered him.

     Salaam alaikum to all my brothers and sisters
     I have to say i agree with brother spops , @ his post 186. The she’ah concept of Islamic believe is questionable if not totally out of the folds of Islam. As all the evidence points the deviation they have adopted and still follow. These people curse and defame the sahabas astagfur’lillah, hence they brought a lot of bi’ah and shirk into Islam. When the Qur’an and the sunnnah of our beloved Rasulillah (saw )is clear to understand. The sahabas carried the touch of Islam the way the prophet (saw ) practised. They have recorded the serrah of our beloved prophet, and we hold them in the highest honour and respect.t As they were the most wise and most knowledgeable about this deen. In contrast how can we accept the aqeeda of the she’ah’s to be true when they utter the worst words to our mother of believers Aysha (ra) and the great leaders of Islam the ones that lived and died for Islam. Abubakr , Omar and Othman (ru)
     May Allah protect us from deviation and shirk
     May Allah protect and keep our mujahedeen steadfast
     May Allah grant our brother who are in captive sabar and elevate their emaan

     Dr.ABU MARYAM AL-MISRI

     Dr Abu Maryam, from Egypt. Medical Doctor. Killed during a two-man operation against a Phillipines Army Base in South Phillipines, in April 1997. Aged late-twenties.
     1st hand account.

     “..but, by Allah, I yearn for Allah and the Paradise, more.”

     Dr.Abu Maryam was a medical doctor from Egypt, who was a student of Islamic knowledge at the same time. He was married and had a young daughter by the name of Maryam, hence his name, Abu Maryam. Leaving his wife and daughter behind in Egypt, Abu Maryam came to the land of Jihad in the South of the Philippines and stayed there for two years to help the Muslims in their defence against oppression by the Philippines Governments.

     The best way to describe Abu Maryam was a man who was few in words but plentiful in actions. He would teach Islamic knowledge to all the Mujahideen. At the same time, he would attend to the injured and sick. And at the same time, he would go to the front-lines and fight in the Way of Allah. Thus, he tried to attain the good from all directions and means.

     And then there was his struggle and fatigue in hostile terrain in the hot, tropical weather of the Philippines. Despite this, he would be fasting on most days. His lips were constantly occupied in the remembrance of Allah. His hands were constantly filled with the Book of Allah. This was his concern, this was his pastime.

     During Abu Maryam’s stay in the Philippines, a rather unfortunate incident took place. The Philippines Government Army, under the direct command of the Commander-in-Chief of the Philippines Government Forces in the South of the Philippines, launched a massive artillery barrage against the hospital of the Mujahideen. They shelled it with mortars, artillery and rockets.
     The damage done by this attack was severe: the whole hospital was destroyed, 22 Muslims were killed (amongst them injured Mujahideen and civilian women and children) and scores were injured. This was an act of war crime. Even in war, it is forbidden to attack hospitals, civilian or military. Abu Maryam was in the region when the attack took place and he tried his best to help the injured people from what remained of the hospital. Abu Maryam was very upset at what had happened.

     That same evening, the Commander-in-Chief appeared on National Television and proudly announced, “Today, we have successfully destroyed a terrorist base. No civilians were killed and no hospitals were hit.” When Abu Maryam saw this General on television, a very strange ambition entered his heart, an ambition so strange that it could only be aspired by one who had sold his soul to Allah, not in an ordinary transaction, but in a magnificent transaction.

     That same evening, Abu Maryam began to ask about that General, his location, the whereabouts of his base and his headquarters. Weeks and weeks passed, and Abu Maryam continued to gather information about that General. With every piece of information he collected, he would take a camera, his weapon and some food, and would go out for days on end to carry out reconnaissance of those locations. He photographed the territories, bases and buildings of that General. He done this together with one other brother, Azzam, from the city of Taif, near Makkah, in the Arabian Peninsula.

     A few months later, Abu Maryam decided that the time was now right for the disbelievers to pay for the Muslim blood that they had unlawfully spilt. Abu Maryam Al-Misri and Azzam At-Taifee took some weapons and supplies and head off towards their goal. A third Filipino Mujahid accompanied them, with the intention of only showing them the way, not to partake in any fighting. Their target: the Military Headquarters of the Philippines Government Army in the whole of the South Philippines, also the base of the Commander-in-Chief. This base was located in the centre of the capital of the South Philippines, next to the main International Airport of that region.
     It housed a force of 2000 Government soldiers.

     Abu Maryam, Azzam and the Filipino brother reached the base. The Filipino brother took up a position well outside the base, from where he could see everything that was happening inside the base. Meanwhile, Abu Maryam and Azzam headed off towards the entrance of the base. The first thing they did was to kill the sentries on the gates. Then they entered the base, killing reinforcing groups of soldiers, with hand grenades and automatic fire. This firefight went on for a few minutes until the Army soldiers were either killed or they fled. After this, Azzam took up a covering position on the outer boundary of the base and Abu Maryam entered the main part of the base, ALONE.

     As soon as he entered, he fought his way through to the building at the centre of the base, which housed the officers and the administration. He entered this building, killing three officers who attacked him. After killing these officers, Abu Maryam ran out of the building and began making his way towards the outer boundary to meet Azzam Taifee. Between the two of them, Abu Maryam and Azzam had now held back the entire base, with its force of 2000 soldiers, for thirty minutes. The foot soldiers fled the battleground, to be replaced by tanks and armoured fighting vehicles from all directions. These vehicles began to fire at the two brothers with everything in their armoury. During this assault, Azzam took a direct hit by a tank round and went to meet his Lord (we hope).

     Unaware that Azzam had fallen, Abu Maryam continued fighting and he single-handedly held up the entire base for another thirty minutes. He successfully destroyed an ammunition store and carried on killing the enemy soldiers one by one. Those who witnessed this scene said that Abu Maryam was, by now, laughing loudly. Fighting vehicles were now attacking Abu Maryam from
     all directions as the infantrymen had fled the arena. Finally, he was hit by a burst of heavy machine-gun fire from the top of one tank and one of the large calibre bullets went through his head, sending Abu Maryam to join his brother Azzam in the Company of their Lord Most High (we ask Allah that it is so).

     Seconds had not passed when a beautiful perfumed scent filled the atmosphere around the bodies of Abu Maryam and Azzam. All those present amongst the Muslims and the disbelievers smelt this scent. The next day, thousands of Muslims gathered from the nearby villages to bury their two heroes. All those witness at the procession bore witness to the continuing perfumed scent, which remained in the graveyard even after the two brothers had been buried. One Muslim tore a piece of blood-stained clothing from the bodies of one of the brothers to show it to the Muslims.
     It was still smelling of perfume.

     Later on that day, an official statement was released by the Philippines Government: in the attack on the Military Base on the previous day, 11 soldiers had been killed (including three senior-ranking officers) and dozens more had been injured. All of this had been carried out by two brothers, who were poor to their Lord, with the Permission of their Lord:

     “How often a small group overcame a large force by Allah’s Permission.”
     [Surah Baqarah(2), Verse 249]

     I recall one day during the days I spent with Abu Maryam, that I went to the river to wash up.
     I saw Abu Maryam there, standing beside the flowing river, with a photograph in his hand.
     The photograph was that of his daughter, Maryam, who he had not seen for two years, and he was standing there looking at this photograph. I asked him,

     “Do you not miss your daughter, Abu Maryam?”

     Upon hearing my question, Abu Maryam began to weep, and he replied, with tears in his eyes:

     “Yes, I yearn for my daughter, but, by Allah, I yearn for Allah and the Paradise, more.”

     السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

     jazakallah khayer to all my brothers and sisters for educating me on this shia sunni issue.

     i feel like i have been ambushed for having a soft corner for shias…:)

     i always wondered why sunni hate shia so much, as being sunni i only am surrounded by sunnis Alhumdulillah and have no close account of the beleifs of a shia and how much shia hate sunni . the information about shia came to me by word of mouth mostly.and i accepted some and dissmissed some as being too far fetched.and since i could not verify those wierd things so i did not accept them and kept my heart clean and neutral towards shias up till now.but after ghaza crisis i am more interested to find out about shia sunni devide.

     this is what i thought a shia was,

     1. A person who is not happy with the order of khilafat and wanted hazrat Ali to be the 1st khalifa.and out of their love for Ali razi Allahu anha they disliked the other 3 khulfa. and they exegerated and did a lot of ghulu in doing that and are sinfull for it, not remembering that it was hazrat Umar razi Allahu anhu, about whom prophet muhammad salalaho alyhe wasallam said, there is no prophet after me, if there was gonna be ,it would have been Umar (RA).

     2. A person who is very upset over the shahadat of imam hasan and hussain razi Allahu anhum and laments over it every year in most DRAMATIC manner possible. they look like fools and attention seekers.

     and the rest of the things like beleiving hazrat Ali (RA) having devine power, i thought may be a few very very ignorant ones might do that but not all of them. and those few are clearly in the wrong like any other shirk of aqeedah.

     @spops

     jazakallah for your help and some crazy videos…:)

     yes brother the ultimate trust of a muslim is on Allah alone, but Allah helps those who help themselves. prophet salalaho alyhe wasallam sent sahabah from makkah to habsha to take refuge with king najashi, who was christain then.
     and what about the following point raised by ibnakwa post 216
     ”ps didnt the prophet (pbuh) make mutual deffense pacts with the tribes of arabia before their conversion ?”

     @saladin post 211
     ”Ask a Mujahid from Caucasus how he feels when he sees the images of Khalid Meshal embracing war criminal Putin in Moscow at a time when genocide is under way all across Caucasus”

     your above statement specially and the rest of your post made me see things from more than one prespective, which as a human being with limited knowledge and insight is not always possible.jazakallah khayer for your post.
     may Allah help and guide khalid meshal to do the right thing Ameen.

     can we call shia the lesser of two evils and handle one evil at a time. the biggest of course is christain yehoodi hindu alliance

     @Sabbaarin Shakoor

     your words have hurt me, and i hope i get reward from Allah for this grief fe sbeelillah inshaAllah. and hope the same for you too, that you get the reward for your sincere intention and passion fe sbeelillah Ameen.

     @Al Faaris Al Miqdaam |

     yes brother you are right, my support for hezbollah is ONLY due to their jihad against yehoodi israel .
     Allah told me in Quraan,that yahoodis are my vowed and staunch enemy. the final bettle will be between yehoodi and muslims.

     indeed these are times of fitan, lies and deception,where you dont know where the truth separates from falshood.

     may Allah guide us all to the truth, give victory to mujahedeen and make islam prevail the lands Ameen.

     I still stand by my opinion 100%… Making alliances with kafir against muslimeen is kufr but making alliances with kufar in order to defeat the kufar and benefit the umma is sunnah… and has already by done by the mujahdeed in Afghanistan against the soviet Union when they took help from the murtet regime in Pakistan and the zionist regime in America.. however it was a relationship where America was giving to the afghanis only b/c they had a mutual enemy.. and the mujahadeen were not giving weopons to the Americans so that they could kill Palestinians.. likewise Hamas does not give weopons to Russia to kill muslims in sheshan nor do they give weopons to the shii in Iraq to kill mujahadeen.. so there is nothing wrong with this equation..

     And that is following the extreme opinion that Shia are kuffar.. and i do not think that bin baz’s fatwa should be given any importance unless you also want to follow his fatwa saying that the mujahadeen are kharijee, U.S. troops are allowed to be in the Arabian peninsula (i mean wow!! on that one!!) etc.. This whole way of talking about the shii follows to the tee the state paid scholars of Saudi Arabia, the whole Talafi way of things to a tee..

     Also Anwar al Awlaki hinted at this subject in the his cd’s of the hereafter talking about how one of the signs is that there will be a lot of mindless killing and he referred this to the situation in Iraq when at the time there was a large amount of mindless killing between the sunni and shii there.. Listen there are millions upon millions of shii in the middle east.. following the path outlined by many ’sunni’ muslimeen the only proper way to deal with them would be to commit a massive genocide.. which is not practical or really possible.. so EVEN IF you consier them to be kuffar then we might as well develop a relationship with them which is BENEFICIAL to the umma and HURTFUL to the enemies of Islam..

     Why would we want to fall under the traps of those like the jewish zionist ex secretary of defense of America who was asked about when the then American puppet, secularist, and tyrant saddam huessien under the orders of the U.S. attacked Iran he replied “I hope they kill eachother.” !!!

     However honestly i am not of the opnion that the Shii are kuffar.. i think the fact that many shii are willing to die for their brothers in fillisteen shows something of their iklaas towards allah swt.. and yes within the ’shii’ and the ’sunni’ there is a large amount of shirk, bidaa, superstition etc. but i think we should approach our brothers inviting them to the straight path by coming to common terms between eachother in a conversation that does not include the sword unsheathed… we should save that sword to deal with those who threaten both of us!

     And spops amongst the video clips that i watched that you posted i came upon another one that seemed to have more revelance to the issue at hand…

     This is directed at those who have sympathy for the Shi’as

     The Kufriyat & Shirkiyat of the Rafidite Ahmadinejad and his slander against the Sahabah [ra]

     The days are passing and ignorance is spreading more and more amongst the Ummah. Men are praised as “heros” for their so called enmity towards the Americans and Israelis, yet most of the Muslims have forgotten that enmity for the enemies of the muslim ummah (nation) is of no us when at a same time this enmity and attitude is carried out by a Kafir Mushrik !

     We Muslims, the people of Tawheed and Sunnah (Ahl as-Sunnah) are in no ways excited by useless anti-American chantings and their likes, neither do we prefer a person nor raise his status just for his enmity towards the Americans and the Israelis. If it were so, than we muslims would surely take Fidel Castro as our leader, or Hugo Chavez or we would surely give the Bay`ah (pledge of Allegiance) to “Imam” Kim Jong ill of North-Korea, since those (contrary to those who only chant since 30 years: “Death to America”), were and are a real threat to America and Castro of Cuba humiliated the Americans much, even though his country is not much bigger than Florida. But what did the Rafidi regime of Iran ? even Saddam fired his missiles on Israel, yet the Rafidi regime is only chanting and chanting…

     The people of `Ilm (Islamic knowledge), those who implemented pure Tawheed in their hearts only show Wala’ (loyality) to a person,political group,resistance group etc. if their creed and beliefs are upon Tawheed and the authentic Sunnah. They are not to be fooled and deceived by few hairs in the faces and Turbans and empty rethorics àla “death to America” Nay, the people of Tawheed judge everyone according to his sound Islamic creed, if its corrupted than everything else what follows is of no use at all !If the basics of our Manhaj (methodology) are sound and upon the path of the Prophet [saw] and those whom he called the best generation of the Ummah , the Salaf (i.e. the Sahabah, the followers of them and the followers of the followers) than we shall not be deceived by the chantings and empty rethorics of every Dajjal.

     An example of our time is Mr.Ahmadinejad, the Shiite Rafidite, the President of the “Islamic” Republic of Iran. Under the reign of this man the Ahl as-Sunnah of Iran suffered a suffering which they didn’t even faced in the beginnings of the Safawid-Rafidite Revolution of his forefather, the slanderer of the Companions of the Prophet [sall Allahu `alayhi wa Aaalihi wa sallam], the caller to Shirk and Kuffr, “Ayatollah” Khomeini.

     This man and his Rafidite regime deciecved many muslims an through the banner of “Shia-Sunnah unity” the Safawid-Rafidiite state of Iran has succeeded in keeping much of the persecution of the Sunnis of Iran out of the international news. Yet Allah willed that some of it should filter out. But the tragic case of the Ahl as-Sunnah of Iran is not their only deception !In the name of “UNITY” they are fooling the Muslims !

     Through chantings and colorful banners they are deceiving the ignorants among the Ummah who do not have any clue about Tawheed and authentic Sunnah, let alone about the heretic-Shirki beliefs of the Rafidah (twelver Shias).Yet unity upon falsehood and Shirk is an attack on Islam itself. Unity upon falsehood is selling out the Deen. Unity upon falsehood led the muslims in a state where they praise and glorify every Ail and Ahmad just due to his/their hatred and enmity towards the Americans and the Israelis. Today, people who call themselves as Muslims, are glorifying a Mushrik and Sahabah slandering Rafidi like Ahmadinejad !The time has come; O Muslims ! O people of Tawheed and Sunnah for you to recognize these hateful, infidels as they really are.

     It’s time for you to recognize these hateful Rafidah as they really are, they are Mushrikeen, murderers, killers and criminals who sow corruption on Earth.And don’t be fooled by their shiny slogans and false words.What follows will be clear-cut evidence of the paganism,heresy,Kufr and Shirk of this son of Rafidism (Shiaism), Dr. Ahmadinejad, this Mushrik Rafidite Shiite uttered the upmost form of Shirk and Kufr, in the presence of his senators, the heads of the Rafidite Safawid state and infront of a bunch of Rafidite Shiite “scholars” ,the “who is who” of the biggest Shia University of Shiaism, the “Hujjatul-Islams and Ayatollahs” of Qom ! no objection, no outcry no response at all from the Rafidah and their priesthood ! why should they, after all they never tasted the reality and sweetness of Tawheed.

     Glad tidings to all those Ahmadinejadi Lovers who are ignorant of the reality of the religion of 12er Rafidah Shia and their Rafidi-Safawi regime.

     The Kufriyat of Ahmadinejad and his attack on the Companions of the Prophet [saws], taken from one of the Iranian government news sites (Mehrnews.com) and the official website of Ahmadinejad [Translation and Farsi original]:

     29 Ordibehesht 1387 – 20:21 – 18 May 2008

     The Government meeting of the President.“Fatimah Zahra (alayha as-salam) is a rolemodel for all Prophets, Imams and righteous”.

     At the government meeting on Saturday evening, the The president announced his condolence regarding the Shahadah (martyrdom) of Fatimah Zahra (alayha as-salam) and he declared: ‘ Hadrat Fatimah Zahra (alayha as-salam), is a rolemodel for all Prophets, Imams and righteous.’

     Dr Ahmadinejad stated that Fatimah Zahra (alayha as-salam) is the appearence of god and all his names and God himself introduced himself to mankind through Fatimah (alayha as-salam). He enounced:’Indeed, the destination of mankind lies in the hands of Fatimah (alayha as-salam),and everything that happens is due to her.The president of the Islamic Republic underlined, that none of mankind faced a greater grieve than Fatimah Zahra (alayha as-salam). And wretched are those who Tyranised her because she (alayha as-salam) is the extract of all creation.Dr Ahmadinejad pointed out:’Those who tyranised her [the Sahabah], didn’t believe in the Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa aali), neither in the Prophethood, Imamat nor even did they believe in Allah.

     Infact doing injustice to Fatimah is the same as doing injustice to Allah.

     Many people may blame us for fighting the Rafidah and others may question why do we fight the Rafidah. We have made this clear more than once; we do not fight the Rafidah because they are Rafidah, in spite of our belief that they are an evil from under the layer of the sky. We were not entitled to fight them just as we were not entitled to fight others who are murtaddeen (who disbelieve after belief) who did not participate with the Americans in their battles against Islam. We wished to fight the occupying enemy.

     One might think our fight with the Rafidah is a fight we desire or that we fight them for entertainment or that we are showing off and by removing the goal and changing the direction of the aim from our real enemy that we have started to fight the people who it wasn’t necessary to fight. This is not true. We did not fight them in the beginning. They are the one who started fighting the Ahl as-Sunnah, and they are the ones who came on the American tanks. They and the Americans stand in one row, and they were the ones who hastened to point the guns at the chests of the Mujahideen. And they are the ones who subjugated the Muslims in Iraq and they are the ones who made the attack on the masajid of the Muslims in Iraq; that number more than 30 masajid since the time they entered Baghdad. Likewise many masajid have been taken in Basra and in Ammarah and in Samawah and in Nasiriah. The Rafidah did not leave a single masjid. Keep in mind that they did not take a single church and they did not touch a pub and there are Jewish synagogues in Iraq and nothing was done to them. So these people do not have any other enemy except the Ahl as-Sunnah.

     We ask the people, does it make sense, according to Islamic law (shari’ah) or logically or practically to turn a blind eye to the ones that are perpetrating these crimes so that I am not accused of promoting civil war or turning the face of the war? Our hands “are in the fire” like it’s said, and we are those who know the present situation and face the wrath of the Rafidah. That is why there is a basic need for the Ummah to trust her sons and take their opinion and hold fast to them, for her sons, who sacrificed themselves and strive with their souls, are more deserving of their trust and more deserving of their support. They are more knowledgeable about the Rafidah and they are the ones who have the blisters from the fire of their deception and betrayal. And for those who are on the other side of the ocean or away from the battleground and follow events from afar, their minds are well relaxed and safe concerning his honor and wife and children, thus their judgment on the situation here will not be the same as the person who knows and feels and undergoes what the Ahl as-Sunnah go through from these Rawafid.

     The treachery of the Rafidah is known and their betraying stance is famous, and this is not the first time when they are entering Baghdad with the invading enemy. Before Ibn al-’Alqami prepared the Tatar to enter Baghdad after he had sent away most of the army and weakened the army of the caliph and burdened it with debts, the Tatar stepped in. What had to happen happened to the Ahl as-Sunnah and the tragedy was, as the historians have stated, two million deaths in Baghdad because of the treachery of Ibn al-’Alqami. This is their condition throughout history and we see with our own eyes what they do to the Muslims; what misfortune befalls them because of these people and that is why we cannot remain silent. There is no way we can let them spill the blood of Ahl as-Sunnah, and in fighting them there is great good and general benefit. Allah knows that if it wasn’t for the Mujahideen fighting these traitors then no Ahl as-Sunnah would have remained in existence in Iraq. The Rafidah, when they entered, came up with a deceptive trick. Yes when they came, the unit of Badr proclaimed hostility but the enemy Sistani said, “We do not want to incite a civil war” because he knows that if only one man from the Ahl as-Sunnah is left standing he will stand up to them.

     So what did they do? They put their hands in the hands of the grandsons of their founder and controlled the various major sections of the nation, and you know that the strength of any nation are the armed sections like the army, police, the defense ministry as well as the oil and finance ministries. After that, in the name of the army, police, and in the name of protection of the nation and the nationality of Iraq, they started persecuting the Ahl as-Sunnah with a huge and frightful media campaign that changed the realities as it is now happening. All the wicked media, newspapers, Iraqi channels, the Faiha and the Furat and their Arabic sisters were spreading it. The plan was that they (Rafidah) would operate under the banner of protecting the nation and the nationality of Iraq, and purifying Iraq from the rebels and the fidaee Saddam (those loyal to Saddam) and from the “terrorists”. They started persecuting the Ahl as-Sunnah with a mind-boggling persecution. They were permitted the honor and killed the men, humiliated the women and expatriated the families under this title, with a huge and frightful media campaign. This worked with a lot of people, whether they were inside or outside Iraq. And they hoped this plan would have been completed in five years, as by then, most of Iraq would be in the hands of the Rafidah.

     The greatest proof of this is that most of the people are ignorant of the fact that for two and a half years, the Ahl as-Sunnah are facing massacres that have never been committed before, all at the hands of the Rafidah. Where is the media? No media! And if a few Rafidah are killed, the media comes and spreads that the Ahl as-Sunnah and the Wahabi’s are persecuting them but for two and a half years the Ahl as-Sunnah were being killed; there wasn’t a word from them. The last voices that spoke accused some sections of the Rafidah but sadly this matter is only a presentation. It is not anger for the Ahl as-Sunnah, and not an anger for Allah and his messenger because the Ahl as-Sunnah have been facing two and a half years of massacres and we did not hear from these people talk or disclose the scenario from the very beginning. But when the rope started nearing their throats and when these criminal people continuously committed these massacres, they started screaming ” there is a civil war and massacres being committed”.

     Why is the blood of the Ahl-as-Sunnah so cheap for these people in this way? The truth has never been made clear and sectarian strife is always feared. What sectarian strife? Did the Rafidah stop their weapons from the Muslims that we should ask them to stop? You all know very well that the persecution of Ahl as-Sunnah is being done horribly! Then how can we keep silent? How can we not return the blow twice as hard?

     Then there are those who say, “some of the Rawafid are innocent!” This is not correct from the point of view of the Shari’ah because these Rawafid sects vary only a thorn and whenever the brothers clear a number of the regiment and the assisting Rafidi army, Sistani intervenes directly and sends more volunteers from other Rafidah areas and it rotates over again like this. So this disbelieving guards and this police that you see are the blanket of a fox, and many other blankets cover all the Rafidiah. They are the ones who sustain the so-called government and the possessor of the evil organization; it is a detesting Rafidiyah government, and the greatest witness of their Rafidi hatred is what they did when they entered Fallujah.

     What we hear from their renowned Rafidah leaders is, “By Allah we do not wish to pull Iraq into a civil war”. This is their lies to deceive the Ahl as-Sunnah. So the civil war is on and they are persecuting the Ahl-as-Sunnah. They are the ones who seek blessings for their soldiers and promise them Paradise, and promise them of great reward. Who is it that is fighting the Ahl as-Sunnah except Najafi and Sistani and then he appears as if he is very careful about Iraq and that he is far removed from sectarian violence!

     Earlier their leader Sistani stated, “Even if half of the Shi’a are eliminated we won’t get pulled into a civil war!” On who are you lying to O ‘Alqami! You are the one who has killed thousands of Ahl as-Sunnah by your fatawa and directives. Saying this is one thing but the reality is another and Allah knows these Rawafid do not move except under the directions from their leaders. They laugh at the Ahl as-Sunnah and cheat them with sweet talk for fear of the rage of the Ahl as-Sunnah. What sectarian strife is it when they humiliate the women of Ahl as-Sunnah?

     I am not talking to you now about the prisoners in the detentions of the Americans. I am talking to you about the prisoners in the prisons of those who say, “No sectarian violence”. And Allah knows where our women are now. In the prisons of the Rafidah city of Kut city that is ruled by Iran and in the prisons of Al-Hilla that is ruled by the Qais and the Rafidi, and in the prisons of Basra. This prison is the detention of the Badr Brigades! And there is the Aqbiyah and prisons underground, of which nothing is known and thousands of Ahl as-Sunnah’s whereabouts are unknown!

     But who from among their leaders dares to stand up like a man and tell the truth to protect Ahl as-Sunnah and clearly clarify these realities? By Allah if the people knew the condition of Ahl as-Sunnah in Iraq, and what has befallen them, they wouldn’t feel softness in their beds or flavor in their food or sweetness in their drinks if they had sincerity for their religion. And then after all this, they come and judge us and when he is comfortably reclining in a cushioned chair, he asks “Why do you fight the Rafidah?”

     O Ummah of Muhammad, our condition with the Rafidah is like the condition of a man in whose house there is a snake, and he doesn’t know where it is exactly. Is it in the drawer or is it under the bed? You know that this snake is in this house and that it will come out any second. What is incumbent on you now is that you find where the snake is, cut its head and get rid of its evil. Then you can sleep the long night in your house. This is our condition with the Rafidah. Before the Rafidah used to operate by conspiracy, but now they are taking by will and have started showing their hatred because they have now become the people of the thorn. It is a deceptive achievement but this is the result of their trickery.

     And as the reality of the Rafidah unfolds, so the Ummah must stand in its face. Let Ahl as-Sunnah remember that if the disbelievers take on the Mujahideen then no one will stand in the way of the Rafidah. At that time remorse won’t help them nor will regret. Possibly the best way to describe the condition of the Ahl as-Sunnah with the Mujahideen and their enemies is the idiom that says, “Today I ate the food of the white ox.”

     The Mujahideen are the ones who protect Ahl as-Sunnah. The Ahl-as-Sunnah are not protected by lectures or by the owners of the satellite channels who are sitting far away from the events looking at the Ummah and giving touching speeches. This won’t avenge the honor of a woman who is raped and it won’t avenge for the blood of the Ahl as-Sunnah that has been spilled. Nothing will help us except weapons with which to face these cowardly people and nothing will weaken them except force. Making the lands of Islam as lands of Rawafid is an American desire and a Jewish goal, as it is known from their statements and with the help of the Iranian interference in Iraq and the American silence about it. In Iraq it is possible to portray a portion of this plan from inside Baghdad where there is an element of freedom for the people. In the area of the Awr, Madain and Abu Ghraib and the areas in which there are more Rafidah now, they have persecuted Ahl as-Sunnah, and there is a program to expel them from these areas so that they can control the reins of Baghdad. And there is a Rafidah-American pact to empty this area of Ahl as-Sunnah. When the Americans came to Dawrah along with their disbelieving Rafidi guards they told its people, “We will expel you from your houses”.

     Now, even the educational curriculum has been changed to benefit the Rafidah. Look at its wicked and destroying beliefs. Among the children, some are changing to the Shi’a. What will be the condition five to ten years from now? When they control the economic situation and the military situation?! The people’s stomachs are tied in knots; they do not want to sacrifice their religion and they do not know if Iraq in time will become Shi’a. These tribes that are in the south before 100 or 200 years ago were Sunni and then, they became Rafidah. You might think it far fetched… the tashee of Anbar but I say, that is not far fetched, if the silence continues and the people are easy going.

     At the beginning of the entry of the Americans in Baghdad, the Ahl as-Sunnah were in great fear concerning what would be done to them by the Rafidah and they were expecting to endure humiliation except those who Allah blessed. But when the Mujahideen stood up in Iraq and took up weapons and stood in their faces, confidence came back to Ahl as-Sunnah with exceptions. As the leaders moved away and shed the cloth of jihad along with their helpers, this put the Ahl-as-Sunnah in doubt. Any Sunni now in Baghdad or outside it does not sleep at night, feeling safe concerning his honor; every night intrusions and arrests and murders and disappearances occur. Every night in the prisons they are stripping honor and robbing money. This is the condition of Ahl as-Sunnah in Iraq.

     And after that, the ones who blame come saying, why do we fight the Rafidah? Instead it is one of the most important obligations to fight them and we see it as a great blessing from Allah that it has been made easy for us to fight them. The best example of this is when the women of Tal’afar were humiliated, their houses destroyed and their children killed. For this reason we proclaimed total war on the Rafidah though we (formerly) wanted to refrain from that.

     And for all you ”Unity with Shia ” lovers…. I say, let all the self-deluding fools who scream about “Sunni-Shi’ite unity”, take a trip to Iran….and let’s see how far they get among the Rafidha with their empty rhetoric! Back in 1951, when some well-meaning but foolish Sunnis allowed the Shi’ites to build a school at Al-Azhar to teach their “fifth madhhab”, they quickly found that it was not reciprocal: Qom, Najaf, Karbala, Mashhad, Isfahan, Teheran – none of them opened up schools for the teaching of the four Sunni Islamic madhhabs!

     Unity is not possible, as Shi’ites have a world-view which is based on rejection of central principles upon which Sunni Islamic belief is founded. In sociological terms, it is a “philosophy of reaction”, which defines its core tenets as rejection to another world-view, in this case their assertion that the virtuous Sahaba “betrayed” Ahlul-Bayt and the Imams! Wa-na’udubillah!

     It is also a fact that two groups holding a radically different view of a historical instance cannot be “united”, as history is something which is symbolic and determines the world-view of one’s beliefs. This matter is seen, for example, in the historic significance of the martyrdom of Al-Hussain (radhiyallahu anhu) at Karbala, which the Shi’ites have made into a myth which denies the actual occurrence!

     THE SUNNI BROTHERS AND SISTERS NEED TO UPRISE AGAINST THE SHIA EVEN IF THEY ARE KILLED FOR LIVING IN FEAR IS NOT LIVING AT ALL

     THE HISTORY OF THIS DEEN IS WRITTEN WITH THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS

     MAY Allah DESTROY THE NATION OF THE RAFIDA

     BY Allah THE SHAHEED Abu Mus’ab rahimahullah (a Mujahid of Iraq) WANTED TO IGNITE A CIVIL WAR BETWEEN THE SLEEPING SUNNIS AND THE BLOOD THIRSTY RAFIDHA, he MENTIONED TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT HOW THE SHIA IMAMS CALLED FOR REVENGE ON THE SUNNIS WHEN SADDAMS REGIME FELL BUT THE SUNNIS WERE TO BUSY CALLING FOR UNITY AND INTER WEDDING WITH SONS OF THE SAFAWIS (SHIA RAFIDHA) CALLING FOR UNITY WITH CULT WHICH ELEVATES THE CURSING OF THE SAHABA AS A FORM OF WORSHIP ! BY Allah THE HONOUR OF OUR MOTHER AISHA AND HER FATHER IS MORE BELOVED TO US THEN THE ENTIRE SHIA POPULATION. WHICH SUNNI MUSLIM WOULD ALLOW THERE MOTHER TO BE CURSED AND ACCUSED OF ADULTERY WITHOUT PUTTING A BULLIT IN THE HEAD OF THE PERSON SPEAKING SUCH EVIL WORDS THE WIVES OF THE PROPHETS ARE THE MOTHERS OF THE BELIVERS.

     OH SUNNIS OF IRAN DEFEAT OR BE DEFEATED

     OH SUNNIS OF THE WORLD MAKE DUA FOR THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN IRAN AND ALL THE OTHER LANDS OF OCCUPATION

     OH SUNNIS WAKE FROM THIS SLUMBER AND REMEMBER DUA IS THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON FOR THE BELIEVERS SO MAKE IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART LET TEARS FLOW FROM OUR EYES LET OUR HEARTS FEEL WOUNDED AND LET OUR TONGUES CURSE THE RAFIDHA.

     WE AS A MUSLIM UMMAH NEED TO AWAKE AND STOP CALLING TO UNITY UNLESS ITS A UNITY CALLING TO TAWEED

     MAY Allah HELP THE SUNNIS OF IRAQ AND IRAN BUT THEY THEMSELVES NEED TO RISE AND HOLD ONTO THE DEEN OF HONOUR AND REBEL AGAINST THESE KAFIR TYRANTS

     There’s an Ijmaa’ (consensus) of the Ulamaa regarding the Kufr of the Shi’a, read below

     Imaam Maalik Ibn Anas (d. 179H):

     It is related by al-Khallaal (d.3 1 1H), from Abee Bakr al-Marroodhee who said: I heard Abaa ‘Abdullaah saying: Maalik said, “The one who reviles the Companions of the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) does not have any share in Islaam.” [Refer to as-Sunnah (2/557) of Aboo Bakr al-Khallaal]

     And when Ibn Katheer (d.774H) mentioned the statement of Allaah the Glorified and Exalted,

     “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful amongst themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating, seeking bounty from Allaah and His pleasure. Their mark is upon their faces from the trace of prostration. That is their description in the Torah. And their description in the Bible is as a plant which produces its offshoots and strengthens them so they grow firm and stand upon their stalks, delighting the sowers – so that they may enrage by them the disbelievers.” [Sooratul-Fath 48:29]

     He stated, “So due to this aayah, Imaam Maalik – rahimullaah- inclined, in one narration from him, towards takfeer of the Rawaafid who hate the Companions (radiyallaahu ‘anhum). He said: Because they enraged them and whosoever enrages the Companions (radiyallaahu ‘anhum), then he is a disbeliever due to this aayah. And a group from amongst the Scholars (radiyallaahu ‘anhum) agreed with him upon that.” [Refer to the Tafsir (4/219) of Ibn Katheer.]

     And al-Qurtubee (d.671H) commented, “Indeed, Maalik did well in his statement and he reached the correct explanation. So whoever belittles a single one of them or reviles him in his narration, then he has rejected Allaah, the Lord of the worlds and he has nullified the Sharee’ah of the Muslims.” [Refer to the Tafsir (16/297) of al-Qurtubee.]

     Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (d.241H):

     Many narrations have been related from him concerning takfeer of the Raafidah. It is related by al-Khallaal (d.311H), from Abee Bakr al-Marroodhee who said: I asked Abaa ‘Abdullaah about the one who reviles Abaa Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Aa’ishah. He said, “I do not consider him a Muslim.”

     And al-Khallaal said: ‘Abdul-Malik Ibn ‘Abdul-Hameed informed me saying: I heard Abaa ‘Abdullaah say: “Whosoever reviles the (Companions (radiyallaahu ‘anhum), then I fear disbelief for him like the Rawaafid.” Then he said, “Whosoever reviles the (Companions of the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallarn), then we do not believe he is safe from having rejected the Religion.” [Refer to as-Sunnah (2/557-558) of al-Khaliaal.]

     And he said: ‘Abdullaah Ibn Ahmad Ibn Hanbal informed me saying: I asked my father about a man who reviled a man from amongst the Companions of the Prophet (salallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). So he said, “I do not hold him to be upon Islaam.” [Refer to as-Sunnah (2/558) of al-Khallaal.]

     And Imaam Ahmad also said, “They are those who free themselves from the (Companions of Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and they curse them and belittle them. They declare the Imaams disbelievers, except four: ‘Alee, ‘Ammaar, al-Miqdaad and Salmaan. And the Raafidah do not have anything to do with Islaam.” [Refer to Usoolus-Sunnah (p. 82) of Ahmad Ibn Hanbal.]

     Ibn ‘Abdul-Qawee said, “And Imaam Ahmad used to declare disbelievers all those who freed themselves from them (i.e. the (Companions) and whosoever reviled ‘Aa’ishah, the mother of the Believers and accused her of that which she was free from. And he used to recite,

     “Allaah forbids you from it and warns you not to repeat the like of it forever, if you are believers.” |Sooratun-Noor 24:17].” [Refer to Kitaab Maa Yadhhab ilayhil-Imaam Ahmad (p. 21)]

     Imaam al-Bukhaaree (d.256H):

     Imaam al-Bukhaaree (d.256H) – rahimullaah – said, “I do not give any consideration to praying behind a Jahmee and a Raafidee, nor praying behind a Jew and a Christian. They are not to be greeted, nor are they to be visited, nor are they to be married, nor is their testimony to he accepted, nor are their sacrifices to be eaten.” [Refer to Khalq Af'aalul-'Ibaad (p. 125) of al-Bukhaaree]

     ‘Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Mahdee (d.195H):

     Stated al-Bukhaaree: ‘Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Mahdee said, “They are two separate religions: the Jahmiyyah and the Raafidiyyah” [Refer to Khalq Af'aalul-'Ibaad (p. 125) of al-Bukhaaree]

     Ahmad Ibn Yoonus (d.134H):

     Ahmad Ibn Yoonus said, “If a Jew were to sacrifice a lamb and a Raafidee were to sacrifice, I would surely eat the sacrifice of the Jew. And I would not eat the sacrifice of the Raafidee because he is an apostate from Islaam.” [Refer to as-Saarimul-Maslool (p. 570)]

     Ibn Qutaybah ad-Deenawree (d.276H):

     Ibn Qutaybah said, “Because the extremism of the Raafidah in love for ‘Alee (mdiyallaaliu ‘anliu) resembles the precedence that he and the (Companions would give to the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa saliam) and their claims of him sharing in Prophethood along with the Prophet and their ascribing knowledge of the Unseen to their imams and these statements and secret affairs are combined with lying and disbelief through excessive ignorance and stupidity.” [Refer to al-Ikhtilaaf fil-Lafdh war-Radd 'alal-Jahmiyyah wal-Mushabbihah (p. 47) of Ibn Qutaybah]

     ‘Abdul-Qaahir al-Baghdaadee:

     ‘Abdul-Qaahir al-Baghdaadee said, “As for the people of desires from the Jaaroodiyyah, the Hishaamiyyah, the Jahmiyyah and the Imaamiyyah (i.e. the Raafidah), the ones who declare the best of the (Companions to be disbelievers… Indeed, we declare them disbelievers, and it is not permissible according to us to pray over them, nor to pray behind them.” [Refer to al-Farq baynal-Firaq (p. 357) of 'Abdul-Qaahir al-Baghdaadee]

     And he said, “And takfeer of these ones is obligatory, since they believe that it is possible for Allaah to change His view based upon new information that reaches Him. And they say that Allaah may want something, but then new information becomes apparent to Him, so He changes His view. Indeed, they claim that when He commands something and then abrogates it, then He has abrogated it because something better became apparent to Him… And we have not seen or heard of a type of disbelief, except that we have found it in a branch of the madhhab of the Rawaafid.” [Refer to al-Milal wan-Nihal (p. 52-53) of ash-Shahrastaanee]

     al-Qaadee Aboo Ya’laa (d.458H):

     Aboo Ya’laa said, “As for the Raafidah, then the ruling concerning them is… if he declares the (Companions disbelievers or disobedient sinners with the meaning that the Fire is obligatory upon them, then he himself is a disbeliever.” [Refer to al-Mu'taqad (p. 267) of Aboo Ya'laa]

     And the Raafidah declare the majority of the (Companions disbelievers, as is well-known.

     Ibn Hazm adh-Dhaahiree (d.456H):

     Ibn Hazm said, “As for their (i.e. the Christians) statement about the claims of the Rawaafid that the Qur’aan has been changed, then the Rawaafid are not from amongst the Muslims. This is only a sect that was first invented twenty-five years after the death of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)… And it is a group that proceeds upon the path of the Jews and the (Christians in lying and disbelief.” [Refer to al-Milal wan-Nihal (2/213) of ash-Shahrastaanee]

     And he said, “And there is no disagreement amongst anyone from the sects that ascribe, to Islaam from Ahlus-Sunnah, the Mu’tazilah, the Khawaarij, the Murji’ah and the Zaydiyyah concerning the obligation of accepting the Qur’aan that are recited by us… The only-people who oppose that are the extreme Rawaafid, and they are polytheistic disbelievers due to that according to all the people of Islaam. So our speech does not concern them, since our speech only deals with the people of our Religion.” [Refer to al-Ihkaam (1/96) of Ibn Hazm]

     Aboo Haamiid al-Isfaraayeenee (d.406H):

     He cited a number of their beliefs, tlien he ruled upon them with his statement, “And in such a condition they are not upon anything from the Religion. Arid there is nothing to increase upon this type of disbelief, since there is nothing left for it from the Religion.” [Refer to at-Tabseer fid-Deen (p. 24-25) of al-Isfaraayeenee]

     Aboo Haamid al-Ghazzaalee (d.505H):

     He said, “Due to the shortcomings in the understanding of the Rawaafid about Allaah, they believe that He changes His view. And they quote from ‘Alee (radiyallaaku ‘anhu) that Allaah would not inform about the Unseen out of fear that He – the Exalted – would change His view concerning it and would thus change His ruling. And they mentioned about Ja’far Ibn Muhammad that he would say: Allaah would change His view based upon new information just as He did with Ismaa’eel (’alayhis-salaam) alter commanding him to sacrifice his son… And this is clear disbelief and it involves attributing ignorance and changing of views based upon new information to Allaah the Exalted.” [Refer to al-Mustasfaa (1/110) of al-Ghazzaalee]

     Abul-Mudhaffar as-Sam’aanee (d.489H):

     Imaam Abul-Mudhaffar as-Sam’aanee – rahimullaah – said, “The Ummah has a consensus (ijmaa’) on the takfeer of the Imaamiyyah, because they believe the Companions are misguided, they reject their consensus and they attribute to them that which does not befit them.” [Refer to al-Ansaab (6/341) of as-Sam'aanee]

     Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H):

     Ibn Taymiyyah – rahimullaah – said, “Whosoever claims that aayaat are missing, or have-been concealed from the Qur’aan, or he claims that its aayaat have inner meanings that cancel out the outward Sharee’ah actions, then there is no disagreement concerning his disbelief. And whosoever claims that they Companions became apostates after the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), except for a small group that did not reach ten odd people in number, or that they majority of them were disobedient sinners, then there is also no doubt about the disbelief of this one. This is because he has denied what the Qur’aan stipulates in more than one place about Allaah being pleased with them and praising them. Rather, who can doubt in the disbelief of this one? So his disbelief is specific, since this statement implies that the carriers of the Book and the Sunnah were disbelievers or disobedient sinners. And with regards to the aayah,

     “You are the best nation raised up for mankind.” [Soorah Aali-'Imraan 3:110]

     And the best of the Ummah is its first generation, but if they were generally disbelievers and disobedient sinners, then this is the most evil of nations and the early generations of this nation are the most evil ones within it. And the disbelief of such a person is known from the Religion of Islaam by necessity.” [Refer to as-Saarimul-Maslool (p. 586-587) of Ibn Taymiyyah]

     And he also said about the Raafidah, “They are more evil than most of the people of desires, and they are more deserving of being killed than the Khawaarij.” [Refer to Majmoo'ul-Fataawaa (28/482) of Ibn Taymiyyah]

     al-Haafidh Ibn Katheer (d.774H):

     Ibn Katheer mentioned the ahaadeeth that are confirmed in the Sunnah and which comprise a negation of the claims of the Raafidah about the revelation. Then he followed this up by saying, “And it the affair had been as they claimed, no one from amongst the Companions would have confirmed that. Since, they were the most obedient to Allaah and His Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) during his life and after his death. So it is not possible that they would undermine him, such that they would give precedence to other than the one whom he had given precedence to, or that, they would defer one to whom he had given precedence to via his text. May Allaah forbid such a thing, it would never happen! And whosoever suspects such a thing about the Companions (ridwaanullaahi ‘alayhim), then he has attributed to them that they united upon disobedience and agreed upon stubborn rejection of the Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and opposition to his ruling and his text. And whosoever from amongst the people reaches such a level, then he has thrown off the yoke of Islaam from his neck and he has disbelieved according to the, consensus (ijmaa) of the Imaams and outstanding personalities. And spilling his blood is more lawful than spilling wine.” [Refer to al-Bidaayah wan-Nihaayah (5/252) of Ibn Katheer]

     Aboo Haamid Muhammad al-Maqdisee (d.744H):

     He said after speaking about the sects and the belief’s of the Raafidah, “It is not hidden from anyone who possesses insight and understanding from amongst the Muslims that most of what we have discussed previously from the topic of the beliefs of this group, the Raafidah, along with their various groupings, is clear disbelief and stubborn rejection along with disgraceful ignorance. The careful one will not hesitate in takfeer of them and judging them to have become apostates from the Religion of Islaam.” [Refer to ar-Risaalah fir-Radd 'alar-Raafidah (p. 200) of al-Maqdisee]

     Abul-Mahaasin al-Waasitee:

     Indeed, he mentioned a number of issues that expel them from the Religion and from amongst them was his statement, “Indeed, by their takfeer of the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu alayhi wa sallam), they have declared disbelievers those whose praise has been confirmed in the Qur’aan by the statement of Allaah the Exalted,

     “So that you may be witnesses over mankind.” [Sooratul-Baqarah 2:143]

     And Allaah the Exalted has testified that they are not disbelievers with His statement,

     “And if these ones disbelieve therein, then We have entrusted it to a people who are not disbelievers therein.” [Sooratul-An'aam 6:89].” [Refer to al-Munaadharah bayna Ahlus-Sunnah war-Raafidah (p. 66) of al-Waasitee and it is in manuscript form]

     ‘Alee Ibn Sultaan al-Qaaree (d.1014H):

     He said, “As for whoever reviles one of the Companions, then he is a disobedient sinner and an innovator by consensus (ijmaa’), except if he believes this to be, permissible, as some of the Shee’ah and their companions do; or if they believe that he is rewarded for it as is persistent in their speech, or he believes in the disbelief of the Companions and Ahlus-Sunnah, then he is a disbeliever by consensus.” [Refer to Shammul-'Awaaridh fee Dhammir-Rawaafid (p. 6) of 'Alee al-Qaaree and it is in manuscript form]

     Imaam Ibn Abideen

     He was asked “what is the ruling (fatwa) regarding the Raafidah?”

     Imaam ibn Abideen replied : “They are kuffar for they have collected different kinds of Kufr (in their beliefs).” [Uqood ad-Durriyyah Volume 1]

     @Salah as salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah

     Bismillah IN the name of Allah the most gracious most merciful and peace and blessings be upon Muhammad and his family and Abubakr, Umar, Uthman and ali and the sons of Ali (may Allah be please with them all)

     Brother in Islam first and foremost we take the good from the scholars and we leave that which we disagree with them in. The great and noble shaykh is a man from among the men of knowledge in somethings he was correct and in somethings he was wrong.

     Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) confirms this reward in an authentic Hadith reported by Imams Bukhari, Muslim, and Abu-Dawud, which says, “If the Hakim (ruler or judge) made his Ijtihad or the extraction of the verdict from original sources of legislation and he reached the correct verdict he will get two rewards. And if he reached the wrong verdict he will only get one reward.”

     As for your ascription that this sounds like the telfi thing then you couldn’t be further for the truth and I will tell you why with the evidence.

     As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, you have no part of them in the least. Their affair is with Allah; He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.” (6:159)

     “And surely this brotherhood of your is a single brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher. Therefore fear Me and no other. But people have broken their religion into sects, each group rejoicing in that which is with them. But leave them in their confused ignorance for a time.” (23:52-54)

     “Turn back in repentance to Him, and fear Him. Establish regular prayers, and be not among those who ascribe partners to God — those who split up their religion, and become mere sects, each party rejoicing in that which is with itself!” (30:31-32)

     The Prophet(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) from Sunan Abu Dawood Hadith No. 4579. In this hadith the prophet (sallallahu aalaihi wa sallam) is reported to have said, “My community will be split up into seventy-three sects.”

     I am a Muslim trying to follow kitaab and sunnah it is that simple. I am not a salafi/shia/tableeghi/Hanafi or any other name you would like to use.

     Now! I think if I was in your position I would go and read the books of any of the Imams or great scholars and you will see that not one of them accept shia.

     I also refer you to the posts of our beloved brother Al Faaris Al Miqdaam who has clarified the whole thing in general and in detail.

     Regarding pacts.treaties then there is a principle in Islam which is called Maslahah/Mufsadah meaning benefit and harm.

     Therefore the imam or leader of the Muslim has to look carefully at the foregoing situation and judge what is best not for him but for the community at large; so if one reads the seerah we can clearly see that the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) always had the best interests of the community at heart and so would organise the affairs in accordance with this principle in mind. Therefore there is no problem making treaties that will benefit the Muslims and keep away harm. We must bear in mind these are just contracts and when the benefit is no longer there then the treaty can be dissolved.

     It also does not mean we take these people whom we have contracts with as confidantes/advisors or show affection to them which should only be for the believers.

     Yes, you are right Hamas is entitled to buy weapons from Hizbollah no problem, but showing love towards them and embracing them is not from the aqeedah of the Muslims.

     I think that what I have said and my brothers in Islam have said here on this blog is enough. I could recount personal experiences, but I want to keep this as short as possible.

     May Allah direct us to the truth in all matters and not to rely on emotions or just our intellects. Remember what Imam Ali said on the issue of wiping over the khuffs.

     ‘If it was left to our intellects in the matter of wiping the khuffs we would wipe the bottom, but the sunnah as shown us to wipe only the top’

     ……..
     [Surah Aal-Imran, Ayat 151]

     Asalamu Alaikum:
     .
     The Zionist crusader Satanists of the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, and the Illegal State of Israel and their puppets around the world are all in a state of trepidation and terror after seeing the Signs of Allah Azza wa Jall in the lands of Afghanistan, Palestine, Somalia and Iraq. The Blessed Mujahideen, by the Power of Allah Azza wa Jall, are terrorizing these kuffar days in and days out and showing them the Signs of Ar-Rahman in these blessed lands of the Muslims. Let us have a look at some of the kuffar losses and cut offs, just in the past few days in Afghanistan:
     .
     The Taliban Mujahideen of Afghanistan torched a dozen trucks carrying supplies for the allied kuffar forces on the Afghanistan-Pakistan supply route on Wednesday, 01-04-2009. The blessed raid follows the destruction of a crucial bridge, a bombing of a 100-foot-long bridge over a dry riverbed about 15 miles west of Peshawar, stranding hundreds of truckers carrying supplies for the allied kuffar terrorists, thereby halting all supplies going into Afghanistan for the Kuffar forces and creating more fears for the U.S. and NATO terrorists.
     .
     Just on Sunday, 01-02-2009, Martyrdom Operation kills 8 French invader terrorists and 3 tanks were destroyed the blessed attack in Kabul by a courageous Mujahid of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Mulla Dawd. Insha’Allah Shaheed Dawd rammed his explosive packed vehicle into a convoy of French invaders near Company Pull, western part of Kabul City. In the attack three tanks of French invaders were destroyed in which eight French invader terrorists were killed, few were wounded, the blasts was so powerful that it completely destroyed the tanks. We ask Allah to accept our brother among martyrs in Eelleyeen (high rank in the paradise). All praise and gratitude are due to Allah.
     .
     Also, a day before that blessed Martyrdom Operation, 01-02-2009, a tank of Canadian invaders army was destroyed in Kandahar. The Taliban Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan with remote controlled landmine blew up a tank of Canadian invaders army in Sobat area in Maiwand district of Kandahar province, the landmine destroyed the tank and killed all the invader Canadian terrorists in it.
     .
     6 American and Zionists Jews invader terrorists were also killed in Farah Thursday, 29-01-2009. The Taliban Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan with remote controlled landmine blew up an on foot patrolling unit of Zionist American invaders army in Dihdadi area in Bakwa district of Farah province, the landmine killed at least six of invader terrorists and wounded a few more.
     .
     On that same day, 29-01-2009, 6 Canadian invader Terrorists were also killed in Kandahar. The Taliban Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan with remote controlled landmine blew up a foot patrolling unit of Canadian invader army in Sperwan area in Panjwai district of Kandahar province, the landmine killed six terrorists and more were wounded.
     .
     Also, on that same very day, 29-01-2009, The Taliban Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan attacked American supplying convoys which were traveling on Kandahar-Herat highway, in the Khaki Chopan area in Mewand district of Kandahar province. According to reports one vehicle of puppet security guard was also destroyed, in which seven puppets of the Satanist forces were killed and a few were wounded. The Mujahideen did not suffer any casualties and all the Mujahideen involved in the blessed attack returned safely to their posts after the attack, Alhamdulillah.
     .
     Brothers and sisters in Islam, as we read on these reports of the Signs of Ar-Rahman in our current times, is there any who would still doubt the fact that the Victory only comes from Allah Azza wa Jall AND IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TROOPS YOU HAVE OR THE THOUSAND NUMBER OF BRADLESS, HUMVEES, TANKS, HELICOPTERS, BOMBER JETS AND PUPPETS YOU HAVE?
     .
     The Mujahideen greatest weapon in these great victories and the Signs of Ar-Rahman are being patient and conscious of Allah for 7 Straight years and more.

     “Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah and the enemy come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction]
     .
     And Allah made it not except as [a sign of] good tidings for you and to reassure your hearts thereby. And victory is not except from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise –
     .
     That He might cut down a section of the disbelievers or suppress them so that they turn back disappointed.”
     ……….
     [Surah Aal-Imran, Ayat 125-127]
     …………………………………………………………….

     The allied Kuffar forces in Afghanistan are already looking for ways to run away without being the laughing stock of the world (which they are already). A classified Pentagon report urges Pharaoh Obama to “de-emphasize (in other words – “cut back”) democracy-building in Afghanistan and instead concentrate on targeting the Taliban inside Afghanistan”. Now what is this? What have the U.S. been doing for 7 and more years in Afghanistan? Is it not the reason why U.S. and NATO entered Afghanistan was to target the Taliban Mujahideen in the first place? We all know the answers to these questions but these kuffar are now using reverse psychology in order to divert our attentions from their “cunning retreat”.
     .
     We say to these dirty Kuffar of U.S. and NATO, either you turn back disappointed like your puppet Ethiopian invader terrorists in Somalia and the Zionist invader terrorist in Gaza few weeks back or you will continue to be cut down and chop off like firewood for the Hell Fire.
     .
     Let us remind you again: As the Mujahideen, by their morality and determination, released some captured Pakistani puppet police, which shows the Mujahideen control of Power from Allah Azza wa Jall; when the suicide and death rate of the U.S. Army terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq continues to rise; when NATO collaborators are not willing to send in more of their “soon to dead soldiers” in Afghanistan; and when the dwindling economies of the so call powerful nations are all in a collision course for the Destruction, we ask again, is there any doubt in anyone’s mind that the Victory only comes from Allah Azza wa Jall and it is not because of the large number of troops US-NATO-Illegal Israel have or the thousands of bradleys, military humvees, Tanks, nuclear weapons, helicopters warships, planes, bomber jets, puppets and “dirty boots” they have?
     .
     So you the Kuffar forces dirtying our lands with your “dirty boots” know that:
     “If you [disbelievers] seek the Victory – the defeat has come to you. And if you desist [from hostilities], it is best for you; but if you return [to war], We will return, and never will you be availed by your [large] company at all, even if it should increase; and [that is] because Allah is with the believers.”

     “The Army said 24 soldiers are believed to have committed suicide in January alone — six times as many as killed themselves in January 2008, according to statistics released Thursday.”
     .
     The Army said it already has confirmed seven suicides, with 17 additional cases pending that it believes investigators will confirm as suicides for January.
     .
     If those prove true, more soldiers will have killed themselves than died in combat last month. According to Pentagon statistics, there were 16 U.S. combat deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq in January.
     .
     “This is terrifying,” an Army official said. “We do not know what is going on.”

     .
     I agree with what Bilal Philips coined as a Salafiya methodology. I don’t mean any particular group who call themselves ‘the Salafiis’ etc. nut the Salafi methodology, which includes practicing the Qur’an and Sunnah BUT the way the Sahaaba (radiAllaahu’anh) practiced it. Not your interpretation or my interpretation of the Qur’an and Sunnah, but the way the Sahaaba (radiAllahu’anh) understood and practiced any particular hadeeth for example.
     .
     That having been said unity is crucial as it is mentioned in the Qur’an that we Muslims should be united just as the Kuffaar are united against us using the guise of fighting ‘terror’. The uniting point for us Muslims should be Al-Haq- the Truth and reason

     Commanders of the Muslim Army
     Abdullah bin Rawahah ra) always tried to follow in the footsteps of the Prophet saws) as far as possible in all matters, however difficult or auduous he may have found it.His brother, Abu Darda’a ra) narrates that whenever they traveled with the Prophet saws) even in the most terrible of summers, the Prophet saws) and with him, Abdullah ra) would be the only ones fasting among those who were in the caravan.
     His zeal and ardour in worship and prayer was worth seeing.Whenever he went out of the house and whenever he entered it , he would offer two units of supererogatory prayer . This is an excellent practice to gain tha nearness to Allah. And people who devote their whole lives to gaining the good pleasure of Allah Almighty have always tried to offer as many supererogatory prayers as possisble to be near Allah as often as possible.
     It is the act of prostration and prayer that one is closest to Him. A person’s humility and supplications and praises of the Almighty in this posture of lowliness takes him to the highest position in the Heavens. The angels talk about him and they look at his piety with envy.
     Abdullah bin Rawahah ra) was an excellent poet who was very well known throughout the Arab world. Urwah bin Zubair ra) narrates the reaction of some of the poets when the following verse of the Noble Quran was revealed .
     ” As for the Poets, the erring ones follow them.” 26;224

     Abdullah bin Rawahah ra) and Hasan bin Thabit ra) and Ka’b bin Malik ra) started weeping. Their tears were flowing and they were saying
     ” Alas , we are destroyed. We are among those who are censured in the Noble Quran. What will happen to ua now? We wish that we had not had even the remotest connection with poetry”

     Allah then revealed ” Except for those who have believed in Allah and do good ” 26;227
     After hearing this verse the three poets were relieved and felt a sense of tranquillity and peace. They then directed their creative energies into writing beautiful inspiring verses for the defense of Islam.
     O Allah ! the real life is the life of the hereafter
     Please forgive the Ansar and the Muhajir

     Assalamu alaikum Sheikh,

     It’s been the strategy of the enemies of Islam to depict mujahideen and those who are on the Right Path as the ‘extremists’. Many of the brothers and sisters in islam are actually falling for this, it’s apparent when you talk to them about Jihad.

     It would be good if you could address this issue and explain about the real extremists in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. There are numerous hadiths about the extremists like this;

     Volume 8, Book 73, Number 184:

     Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

     While the Prophet was distributing (war booty etc.) one day, Dhul Khawaisira, a man from the tribe of Bani Tamim, said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Act justly.” The Prophets said, “Woe to you! Who else would act justly if I did not act justly?” ‘Umar said (to the Prophet ), “Allow me to chop his neck off.” The Prophet said, “No, for he has companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of (you compares his prayer with) their prayer, he will consider his prayer inferior to theirs, and similarly his fasting inferior to theirs, but they will desert Islam (go out of religion) as an arrow goes through the victim’s body (games etc.) in which case if its Nasl is examined nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Nady is examined, nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Qudhadh is examined, nothing will be seen thereon, for the arrow has gone out too fast even for the excretions and blood to smear over it. Such people will come out at the time of difference among the (Muslim) people and the sign by which they will be recognized, will be a man whose one of the two hands will look like the breast of a woman or a lump of flesh moving loosely.” Abu Said added, “I testify that I heard that from the Prophet and also testify that I was with ‘Ali when ‘Ali fought against those people. The man described by the Prophet was searched for among the killed, and was found, and he was exactly as the Prophet had described him.” (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 4)

     Inshallah, with your clarification on this issue, many muslims would return to haqq.

     Wassalam.

     as salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah

     @Amir brother in Islam the answer to your question regarding ‘the arrivals’ depends on what you think of music and half naked women performing acts of lesbianism and dancing. If you think that they are halal then may Allah guide you and reform you.

     I would advise all brothers and sisters to avoid going to these links as I would tell someone to run from a leper.

     The people who made this have caused confusion and harm to the Muslims and any benefit is outweighed by the harm.

     Once again if you think watching Britney spears and Madonna cavorting on the stage with each other will give you some knowledge that you can’t obtain from quran and sunnah then may Allah help you.

     The principle in Islam is simple and states, you cannot reach halal through haraam even if your intention is pure.

     Example:- You cannot rob a bank in order to benefit Islam if you are living under a covenant with the kuffar in their land.

     Same as you cannot obtain beneficial knowledge by watching haraam activities.

     I advise you to study the following books:-

     aqeedah tahawahi or aqeedah al wasatiyah

     Zaad al maad by ibn al-qayyum

     the sealed nectar

     tafsir ibn katheer

     40 hadith imam nawaawi

     rihaydus salheen imam nawaawi

     on top of your daily reading of the quran. Most of these books are available free online for download and even if they are not think about how much you spend on things that bring no real benefit and then purchase them from a bookshop.

     @all I would advise all the brothers and sisters to have their own library both soft copy in the form of books and an e-library and Allah knows best in all situations.

     Commanders of the Muslim Army
     The heart of Abdullah bin Rawahah ra) was filled to the brim with love faith, and trustful obedience to the commands of the Prophet saws) Abdur Rahman bin Abu Laila ra) narrates what took place on one occasion when Abdullah ra) was going to the Prophets Masjid saws) at Madinah. The Prophet was delivering a sermon and Abdullah ra) had just reached the door of the Masjid, when the Prophet saws) said;
     ” Sit down ”
     The moment the Prophet saws) said this ‘Abdullah bin Rawahah ra ) stopped and immediately sat down among the shoes left at the door of the masjid. The Prophet saws) was delighted at the way his Companion at once obeyed his command . He was so happy that he offered a supplication to Allah swt)
     ” May Allah swt) make the desire of obedience and submission to His commands and those of His Prophet saws) thrive in your heart.

     Commanders of the Muslim Army
     The Mujahideen camped at Motah and saw that the Emperor Herqal of Rome had come to do battle with a hundred thousnad troops. Some of them, realizing the danger suggested ;
     “We should inform the Prophet saws) that the battle is going to be a very tough one and that the Roman Emperor has arrived with a huge army of one hundred thousand men, whereas there are only three thousand of us. We should then act according to the instructions we receive from the Prophet saws)

     Abdullah bin Rawahahra) gauging the situation said;
     “My friends , why are you panicking? Paradise awaits you. This is a golden chance to gain the noble and lofty position of a martyr. When we step into the battlefield of Jihad we should not look at the inadequacy or excess of numbers . We have come here with an aspiration for martyrdom and for the exaltation of our religion. Islam has given us honour and eminence. We should leap into the fray without worrying about the consequences. Whatever the result it will be in our favour. If we die we shall achieve martyrdom, if we survive we will be Ghazi or conquerors of the infidels”

     His electricfying speech inspired the Mujahideen who entered the battlefield ready to risk their lives and untroubled by the fear of death. Fierce fighting ensued and the Commander in Chief Zaid bin Harithah ra) was martyred fighting valiantly. The flag of Islam now went the hands of Ja’far bin Abi Talib ra) He also went on life-eternal fighting courageously. Abdullah ra) moved forward and picked up the flag. As he took command of the army,
     He advanced and fighting as if possessed he met the fate of a fearless martyr. Thabit bin Aqram ra ) took the flag of Islam and handed it to Khalid bin Waleed ra ) with these words;
     ” Now it is only you who have the capability to bring this ship out of the whirlpool of grief to safety . Please assume command; in my opinion no one else has God given skills and abilities than you All of us unanimously accept you as our Commander.” Discharging his duties as Commander , Khalid ra) achieved something unique in military history, which left the experts astounded. In the face of one hundred thousand fully armed enermy troops he saved the lives of his small army of three thousand men and brought them back to safety . In recognition of this great achievement, the Prophet saws) gave Khalid bin Waleed ra) the title of Saifullah [ the sword of Allah ]
     Abdullah bin Rawahah ra) was a great General of the Muslim forces and was a poet of the highest rank. His poetry was appreciated and recited by the Prophet saws) himself.
     “Come back to your Lord, well pleased [ yourself ] and well pleasing [ unto Him] 89;28

     You can be sure those suffering from democracy syndrome,those infected with ballot,nusrah manhajs still doubt this matter.
     And there are those who still stick to the errorneous claims by a shaykh that if the government in muslim countries are not strong enough to face the enemies of islam(as if these tawagheet are not enemies themselves),no group can or should dare it because they don,t have the weapons that kafirs possess and bla bla bla…

     My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam:

     As Salaamu Aleykum Wa Rehmatulah,

     Please help each other in making Hijrah for the sake of Allah (SWT) alone. We complain to Him alone and we seek His help and guidance. He is the most Merciful and the most Loving. We beseech him with our hearts to bestow on us utmost Sakeena (Tranquility) that is the best thing we can ask SWT, Ameen.

     “O my Lord! cause me to land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best of those who cause to land”.(Al-MuMinoon:29)

     Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): “In what (condition) were you?” They reply: “We were weak and oppressed on earth.” They (angels) say: “Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?” Such men will find their abode in Hell – What an evil destination! (Surah Nisah)

     Any Un-Islamic posts,comments,links will not be tolerated.

     Picture of Mount Hira in KSA my sister took on our visit for Hajj. This is where the first word of Allah’s speech “Iqra” was revealed to Prophet SAS. Its signifies that not just our belief/heart but the physical body needs to go back to Quran and Darussalaam (Land of Peace)

     I don’t know what is wrong with me whenver I hear people defending and praising obama it bothers me becasue of his bias and constant support of Isreal and military actions against afghanistan he says he is not enemy but I don’t see that in his actions, he is a chrasmatic person who seems very very honest when he talks his speeches are wonderful and his one action that he took toward guantano prison all these things and recently what he said in his breakfast prayer he included the hadith.” In Islam, there is a hadith that reads “None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.” (somebody emailed me this) some muslims are making a big deal about this, I don’t understand why should we care? our muslim brothers and sisters are still getting killed, Please advice me on this issue, how should I respond to them positivly and softly.

     salam,
     @ Jihadfeesabililah’s post 246, subhanAllah its amazing to hear this gd news bro. Afghanistan has been proven to be and is still proving to be a graveyard for the kufar and those that aid them all with the help of Allah(swt). This kind of news stands as evidence that we are not so weak, that we can’t wage jihad in the path of Allah(swt). Because some say we can’t fight the americans and thier likes because we are too weak and havent got the means well look at whats happening in Iraq and Afghanistan that shows that Allah is with the mujahideen. We have got the means physically but most of us are lacking the mental belief that we can win and our hearts are full of wahn- love of this world. May Allah (swt) make the love of jihad in his path and martrydom thrive in our heart! I pray that Allah bestows victory on the ummah during our generation.
     p.s um umar that book ur quoting from, commanders of the muslim army, i just finished it a few days ago. Its a great book to read i recommend it to all!!

     Assalamu alaykum
     @ somali speaking brothers and sisters I advice myself and you to listen to SH. ABDIRAXMAAN ABYAD (ha).
     .
     Listen to the third lecture titled Hamiga Shabaabka also the Huruubu Saliibiya series. Masha’Allah the Shaykh is amazing he reminds me of Sh. Anwar (ha). He gives lectures that concern our current conditions and the islamic history and draws lessons from them to attach the hearts of the youth to our roots and our heroes alhamdulillah. He has also done lectures on al andalus and east africa history (after islam and our jihad against the kufars). I can’t located them online right. Insha’Allah when I find it I’ll post it. Also, our brothers website is back up http://www.kataaib.info. Listen to the lectures there as well insha’Allah. The new site is much better. Though the disbelievers hate it. Allahu Akbar.

     Asalam Alaikum my dear and blessed brothers and sisters, Subhan’Allah!
     May we be of those who remember Allah TA’la in the morning and evenings….

     “He who begins the morning with this world as his greatest concern, Allaah disperses
     his collected gains and puts its loss in front of him, and only that of the world comes to him
     which is written for him. And he who begins the morning with the Hereafter as his
     greatest concern, Allaah gathers for him his works and creates richness in his heart due to
     them, and the world comes to him subserviently.”

     at-Tirmidhee with a da`eef
     isnaad, but the hadeeth is saheeh due to the supporting narrations of ibn Maajah, Ibn Hibbaan and Ahmad.

     Why did the Taliban bomb the schools? Why don’t we ever consider what they did as something borne from wisdom rather than barbarity? Who’s on the haqq and who’s not? What’s the importance of uprooting a system which is destroying our youth and making them more at ease with the life of this world?

     Asalam Alaikum my dearest brothers and sisters, As it is important for us to perform qiyam-ul-lail, likewise we should bear in mind that the morning time for ibadah is also quite important….

     At-Tirmidhee narrated upon the
     authority of Al Ghamdi that the Prophet said: “O Allah bless my Ummah in its early rising!” and
     whenever he dispatched an expedition or army he sent them early at the beginning of the day.

     Subhan’Allah we should start our day for Allah ta’la, to please him Alone….

     Shaikh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah is reported by his student, Ibnul Qayyim
     to be in the habit of engaging in Allah’s remembrance of Allah after Fajr prayer and to say: “Verily
     there is in the Dunya [this world] a garden the shunner of which will not enter Paradise in the
     Hereafter”. By this he means that the pleasure of the communion with Allaah through
     remembrance cannot be compared with all the pleasures of this world put together. He, may Allaah
     bless his soul, is also reported as saying: “This is my main sustenance; if I fail to have enough of it
     I will lose my vital energy”

     May Allah allow us to remembrr Him (SWT) in the best of ways to gain his pleasure, May Allah increase our Emaan, to a state of Ihsaan – Subhan’Allah, so we Fear none but Him (SWT) Alone!

288. Strangers says:
     February 8, 2009 - الأحد 13 صفر 1430 at 2:28 am

     Allah Ta’la has also ordered us that we fear Him as He should be feared…

     O believers! Fear Allah [by doing all that He has
     ordered and by abstaining from all that He has forbidden] as He should be feared and
     die not but as true Muslims.
     Surah Aal Imraan

     Subhan’Allah, and Allah (SWT) says…

     Verily! Those who live in awe for fear of their Lord; and those who believe in the
     ayat of their Lord; and those who join not anyone [in worship] as partners with Allah;
     and those who give that [their charity] which they give [and also do other good deeds]
     with their hearts full of fear, because they are sure to return to their Lord [for
     reckoning] It is those who race for good deeds and they are foremost in them Surah Al-Mu’minun

     Subhan’Allah brothers and sisters we should not fear people, we should not fear the enemy, we should not fear death. Know that Allah is with us, and He (SWT) will never burden us more than we can handle…

     Strive in the Way of Allah as you ought to strive with sincerity and discipline; He has
     chosen you and has not laid upon you any hardship in the observance of your faith…
     Surah Al-Hajj

     Asalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatulah:
     .
     Jazak’allahu khairan wa Barakallahu feekum Andalus for an insightful article regarding this issue of destroying schools, that the RAND Mozlemz cannot get to comprehend in these current times. It is a must read insh’Allah.
     .
     In “The Battle of hearts and Minds” lecture Sheikh Anwar exposed the agenda of the RAND Satanist forces of the US and its “parrots” regarding the issue of changing the curriculums of Islamic Schools by the “Dajjal forces”. In the Section: “Introduce their [RAND-US] views into the curriculum of the Islamic education”:
     .
     “And they [RAND-USA] have already taken some concrete steps in that direction, they have ruined the curriculum in many Muslim countries, entire sections were wiped out and changed, any thing that talks about Jihad, talks about Hudood, talks about the rules of Allah have been taken out of the curriculum!”
     ……..
     [Imam Anwar al-Awlaki, The Battle of Hearts and Minds]
     ……………………………………………………………………………………………….

     I‘d like to quote from the article the following:

     ‘“We have been asked by the government many times that ‘you should stop teaching the chapter of Jihad’. So we tell them, ‘we can’t stop it because we cannot make any amendment in Islam.’”
     ……………
     [shaheed inshaAllah, Abdur Rashid Ghazi while being interviewed by CNN for a documentary called Pakistan: The Threat Within; from the article: “Destroying Schools: How About the Taliban’s View, Please?”]
     ……………………………………………………………….

     “These are the ‘well educated’ and ‘very qualified’ people of our security forces who bombed our villages and destroyed them. We have, therefore, the right to destroy those schools which brought up this generation, sold out to foreigners and sold their own people to foreigners.”
     ……..
     [Haji Muslim Khan (spokesman for Taliban in the Swat valley) from the article: “Destroying Schools: How About the Taliban’s View, Please?”]
     ………………………………………………………..

     “Consequently, if for example the army was not stationed in these schools, would it still have been legitimate for them to destroy them? Let’s think about it logically. If the schools were left in tact with the same curriculums being applied, and producing the same weak generation of Muslims who hate to fight for the sake of Allah, who do not want Islam to be the judge of their affairs, then we would have to face the dire consequence a few years down the line of more and more Muslims who are solely dunya-oriented. The alternative is that you temporarily destroy the schools so that one, the curriculums are not being taught and therefore children are not being fed the same rhetoric as before and two, nobody dares to even oppose the Taliban and start teaching again.”
     …………

     Afghan Leader Finds Himself Hero No More
     .
     Once supported by the U.S., President Hamid Karzai is no longer in favor with the White House or his own people.
     .
     “People close to Mr. Karzai say the man is exhausted, wary of his enemies and worried for his physical safety. He feels embattled and underappreciated, they say, but is utterly determined, in spite of it all, to run again and win.”
     .
     As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.” 3:56
     .
     Allah shall punish them with a terrible punishment in this world and the Hereafter. In this world by exposing them to sword of the mujahideen and humiliating them by exposing their wick character. In the Hereafter by throwing them into the Eternal Fire. And they will have no helpers to save them from Allah’s punishment in this world or in the Hereafter.
     .
     “Mr. Karzai now finds himself not so favored at all. Not by Washington, and not by his own.”
     .
     I guess they need a better RAND muslim to do the job. Subhan’Allah!

     Ecuador’s left-wing president has ordered the expulsion of a senior US diplomat, accusing him of suspending aid to Ecuador’s anti-drugs programme.

     “Mr Astorga, keep your dirty money, we don’t need it. We have dignity in this country,” he said.

     http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2009/02/2009286942797739.html

     This is not the first time, I personally have spoken with brothers from Kosovo who told me about the time the serbs gave the children in schools inoculations that they said were to stop rubella and other childhood infections.

     These drugs were later found out to contain anti-fertility agents aimed at making the males and females incapable of having children. the drugs were given to the Serbs by another company who manufactured out of where?

     Yes, you guessed it-Israel.

     The brothers who told me this story were talibat Ilm and mujahids and I would never doubt what they had to say.

     My watch word is caution in everything stop-think-investigate-make istikharah and if the kuffar are pushing something then ask yourself why why why………

     finally learn the prophetic methodolgy of treating illness and this is better than all the drugs in the world.

     My medical cabinet is filled with herbal medicines/black seed and we have zamzam……..

     I know a brother whose wife had cancer they were from America.

     The hospital wanted to do all sorts of hideous treatments with horrible side effects. The brother and his wife refused and instead to the quran and sunnah.

     They remembered the words of the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) zamzam is for whatever you drink it for, so they took to drinking zamzam in copious amounts then they were constant in dua at all the best times ………until Allah cured her completely. Now this story only has one person in the chain it is not from the internet, a book or any other source this is easy for Allah……….

     Furthermore a final warning the saudi authorities have issued a warning over the zamzam being sold in small brown jugs they have said that this is not zamzam and they also are saying that it contains high levels of mercury which is ver very dangerous for the body.

     take care!

     @ Jihadfeesabililah, sr. Maryam, ibn Na’eem.
     As salaamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

     Wa iyyakum. The article really is a breath of fresh air since most articles contain one sided (slanderous) views.

     Barak Allahu feeki ukti Maryam for your question. All i have to say is, the core of the matter is, what is the situation on the ground? as far as I understand the situation is that bombs, and artillery shells are being used against miserly Ak-47s. if these schools were not closed down, life would have gone on as normal i.e. the manufacturing of more of a weak generation of Muslims. Essentially by not removing these schools from the root we are contributing to the status quo.

     Additionaly, the Taliban commander Haji Muslim khan has said that they specifically bombed the schools because the army was using them as bunkers to destroy the Taliban. In this case, if you were there would you say, let me wait and get the support of the Pakistani people on board? By that time you would have been killed.

     Support of the Pakistani people (in the cities) cannot be depended on solely. If they don’t want the Taliban in the first place, they will do whatever they can to obliterate them. Those who really and truly desire to live under an Islamic khilafa are already supporting the Taliban.

     Surely this war will be won by getting the people on board. This is understood. But we need to start from the villages. Most people are loyal to the deen. They just need a push. As far as the city people (of Pakistan) are concerned, its going to be harder to get them on board esp. because they don’t really desire to live under the laws of Allah subhanahu wa ta’aala.

     So far 93 people dead and 800 homes destroyed
     Heart breaking stories emerging from the fires that scorched Victoria, Austrailia on the weekend, in some cases whole families have been killed, etc ,etc, etc, we will never the end of this wonder why this [ disaster ] happened ,maybe they have to feel what is was like to be a Ghazain or a Afghan not that they would equate the two not that they would think beyond their own personal grief.
     Just as we will never hear the end of this we will also never hear the end of the Bali Bombings [ may Allah swt reward the three brothers Mukhlas , Ambrosi and Imam Samudra and all the brothers involved for sacrificing to save their communities from the ever growing cancerous effects of western immorallity seeping into the decent,clean Muslim communities , and making a successful protest against atrocities carried out by Western Governments against the Afghani people and Muslims elsewhere. Inna lillahi wa Inna Ilayhi Rajioun
     As the Taliban had the justification for bombing the schools as did Jemaah Islamiyah in their protest against the filth that is knocking on their doors and corrupting their youth , It is a muslims duty to wipe out munkah with the heart the tongue and the hand weve used the heart and the tongue now its the TIME FOR THE HAND.

     Asalam alaikum my Dear brothers and sisters, May Allah Ta’la keep you in fine health and high emaan…

     It is narrated from Abu Hurairah radhiallahu `anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu `alayhe wa sallam said:
     “The servant meeting Allah having testified that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, not doubting them shall enter the Jannah (paradise).”
     Related by Muslim

     The testimony of faith is not however a empty phrase, without meaning but rather carries with it conditions and obligations, Among the most important of these conditions without which the testimony of faith is null and void’ is that we disbelieve in and reject every false god,…

     Sheikh ulIslam Ibn Taymiyyah alHanbali Rahimullah also makes the link between the Shari`a and Islam,
     “Islam means to surrender to Allah alone. So whoever surrenders to Allah and to other than Allah he is a mushrik (pagan). And whoever does not surrender to Allah he is arrogant to worship Allah. The Mushrik (pagan) and the arrogant are both kuffar (unbelievers). To surrender to Allah(SWT) alone includes inside it that you have to obey Him alone. This is the Religion of Islam and Allah does not accept any other than it. This can be done when Allah is obeyed at anytime with whatever He ordered you do at that time.”

     @To the callers of the dawah of Iblis and those hindering the path of Allah, the likes of Dalmar, kufr akbar, and all the ‘Rand moslims’ Munafiqs and the Murtadeens….
     We seek refuge in Allah from your evil, We bear witness to Allah(SWT) that we are enemies to these people and we witness their kufr!

     Sheikh ulIslam, Ibn Taymiyyah states;
     So if they recite the shahadatain (two testimonies) but abstain from observing five daily prayers they must be fought against until they offer prayers. And if they abstain from paying zakah, it is incumbent upon Muslims to fight them until they start paying zakah. Similarly, if they abstain from the fasting of Ramadaan or pilgrimage to the ancient House of Allah or refuse to prohibit the abominations, adultery, gambling, drinking and other things forbidden by the Islamic Shari`a. Or if they refuse to enforce the laws of the Qur’an and Sunna pertaining to life, property, honour, management of affairs and other such things; or if they refrain from enjoining good, forbidding evil, and fighting the unbelievers until they embrace Islam or pay jizyah (poll tax) in submission.
     “Likewise, if they introduce innovations in religion contrary to the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunna, and the practice of the righteous ancestors and imaams of the community by, for instance, blaspheming the names, signs, or attributes of Allah, or rejecting divine preordainment or decree, or rejecting the manner in which the Muslim community behaved in the days of the rightly guided Khulafa’a, or slandering the foremost from among the emigrants (alMuhaajirun) and the helpers (alAnsaar) and those who followed in their footsteps faithfully. Or if they fight the Muslims in order to force them to submit to them, abandoning the Islamic Shari`a, and all other similar cases…

     Shaykh al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah said “If he thinks that something other than the guidance of the Prophet(SAWS) is more perfect than his guidance, or that among them are those who are allowed to go beyond the Shari’ah of Muhammad(SAWS)) – He is a Kaafir who Must Be Killed after asking him to repent…

     Repent to Allah Ta’la with a Sincere Repentance, Seek Refuge with Allah from the Devil, from Nifaq and Kufr…

     Repent in the name of Allah who created you and to Him you Shall return…

     Repent to Allah Ta’la and likewise enter the Fold of Al-Islam, join the ranks of the Friends of Ar-Rahman…
     Leave your friends of the Shaitan, Kufr and Nifaq, otherwise let it be known that,…
     May you be killed upon the hands of the Frinds of Ar-Rahman!

     “And fight them until there is no more fitnah (shirk) and all of the religion is for Allah only”

     UK terrorists plan new 9/11 attack on US?
     Sun, 08 Feb 2009 19:31:24 GMT

     The CIA has launched a large-scale espionage operation to prevent a suspected terror attack, believed to be brewing in the UK, on US soil.

     American spy chiefs believe a British-born Pakistani extremist entering the United States under the Visa Waiver Program is likely to be the source of another 9/11-style attack.

     During recent intelligence briefings US President Barack Obama was warned by the CIA about the growing threat posed by British “Islamist extremists” to US homeland security.

     The CIA has informed the newly-installed US president that it has planted record numbers of informants in Britain’s Pakistani community to monitor the 2,000 terrorist suspects identified by MI5 — the British Security Service.

     A former CIA officer and an advisor to President Obama, Bruce Riedel, told The Sunday Telegraph that “The British Pakistani community is recognized as probably al-Qaeda’s best mechanism for launching an attack against North America.”

     Riedel, who has worked as a Middle East expert on the White House National Security Council for three presidents, added, “President Obama’s national security team are well aware that this is a serious threat.”

     “Around 40 per cent of CIA activity on homeland threats is now in the UK. This is quite unprecedented,” said the British intelligence source.

     The CIA’s sharp focus on suspects in the UK comes as Director-General of MI5 Jonathan Evans admitted in January to the lack of enough resources in his agency to keep a close watch on all its suspects.

     Riedel said that the CIA chiefs’ decision to allocate more resources to the UK is based on the argument that the US is not prepared to see American citizens die as a result of MI5’s inability to keep tabs on suspects.

     Britain’s transatlantic intelligence cooperation with the CIA has so far helped foil several terrorist plots, including locating Rashid Rauf, a British-born al Qaeda operative involved in a plan to explode airliners over the Atlantic.

     NATO truck driver killed in Pakistan
     Sun, 08 Feb 2009 22:21:57 GMT

     Militants destroy at least 150 trucks in December carrying supplies to US-led forces in Afghanistan.
     Gunmen in Pakistan’s Baluchistan province have attacked a truck carrying supplies for NATO-led troops in Afghanistan, killing the driver.

     Tribal rebels opened fire on the truck in the Lakorain area of Khuzdar district in the insurgency-hit southwestern Baluchistan province, killing the driver and seriously wounding his assistant, police officials told Press TV on Sunday.

     The Baluch Republican Army, that has been waging a four-year armed campaign for political autonomy and greater share of the province’s natural resources, claimed responsibility for the attack.

     The province has also been hit by several attacks blamed on Taliban militants.

     The incident comes a day after suspected Taliban militants near Peshawar, the capital city of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) destroyed two trucks destined for NATO forces in Afghanistan.

     The latest attacks have fueled concerns that Taliban militants in the troubled northwest and rebels in the southwest are tightening their hold on Pakistan roads and could choke NATO supply routes into Afghanistan.

     Ghazi Anwar Pasha’s Last Letter to his wife Ghazi Anwar Pasha was from amongst those great Mujahideen of Turkey who had spent all his life fighting against the enemies of Islam. Eventually he was martyred by the Russians. Only a day prior to this he sent a letter to his wife, Najiya Sultana. This letter was published by her in the Turkish newspapers, and after being transferred was published by her in the newspapers in India on the 22 April 1923.

     This letter is so touching and thought provoking that every young man should read it. An inspiring account of Mujahideen from the Ottaman period.

     My Dearest Najiyya,

     My life companion and fountain of happiness and joy dearest Najiya. The Almighty Allah is your guardian. Your last letter is in front of me at this moment. Believe me, this letter of yours will always be close to my heart. I cannot see your face but in between the lines and words of your letter I can see your beautiful fingers which used to play with my hair in the dark interior of tent, occasionally your picture fills my eyes. Alas, you write that I have forgotten you and that i do not care for your love.

     You say that I have broken your loving heart and playing with fire and blood in a distant forsaken and I am unmindful of a woman who spends the night anxiously counting the stars.

     You also say that I like war and my sword. But little did you realise when writing these words of yours, which undoubtedly were written with sincerity, out of deep love and devotion for me, will my heart.! How can I convince you [words are inadequate] that there is no one dearer to me in this world than you. You are the culmination of all my love and affection. I have never loved anyone before but you have stolen my heart.

     Then what has separated me from You? O the joy of my heart! You can ask this question in a proper manner. Listen! I am not away from you because I desire material gains of wealth nor is it because I wish to establish a kingdom or throne for myself as my enemies have publicly intimated. The only reason that I am away from you is that Allah’s Obligatory Command has brought me here [battlefield] There is no greater fardh of Allah than Jihad Fi Sabilillah {to fight in the path of Allah}. It is this command of Allah, the intention of fulfilling it entitles a person a place in Jannah.

     Alhumdulillah I not only have the intention to fulfil this command but am actively carrying it out in the battlefield.

     Your absence {judai}, like an arrow is cutting my heart into pieces every moment. Notwithstanding this I am happy in this separation as it is your true love, and your love which is the greatest test, a challenge to my intention and resolution of fighting in the path of Allah Subhanu Wata’aala.

     I thank Allah Ta’ala a thousand times that I have been victorious in this test and have been successful in putting Allah’s love and command before my live, love and the pleasure of my desire {nafs}. You also, my darling must thank Allah Ta’ala and be happy that your husband possesses such a strong Emaan that he can ever sacrifice your love for the love of Allah.

     Although Jihad with the sword is not compulsory on you, my love lest you are not exempted from it, no Muslim male or female is exempted from Jihad. Your Jihad is that you must put Allah’s love before your love and pleasure and you must make the bond of love between your husband and you stronger.

     Look, never ever pray that your husband must come safe and sound from the battlefield into your loving arms. This prayer is selfish and Allah will not be pleased. Rather let your prayer be this, that Allah accept the Jihad of your husband and bring him back successfully otherwise let his lips imbibe the cup of martyrdom. These lips you know my darling have never been touched or dirtied by alcohol, but have always been kept busy with reciting the Holy Qur’an and humming the glory and praises of Allah Subhanu Wata’aalah.

     Dearest Najiya! How blessed will that moment be when in the path of Allah this head which you affectionately called beautiful will be separated from the body which in your eyes was not a soldier’s body but a beloved’s body!

     Anwar’s greatest wish is to be martyred and be judged on the day of Qiyammah with Hadrat Khalid bin Waleed {R.A.}, This world is a temporary one, Death will definitely come, Then why fear death? If death is definite, then why should a man die lying on a bed? Death in the path of Allah is not death but indeed life everlasting life.

     Najiayya listen to my will! If I am martyred you must marry by brother Noori Pasha. After you, the dearest peron to me is Noori. It is my wish that after my demise he will faithfully care for you during your lifetime. My next wish is that all the children you bear tell them about my life and send all of them to the battlefield of Jihad for Islam. Remember if you do not fulfil this wish of mine, I will be angry with you in Jannah.

     Farewell, my dearest! I don’t know why my inner feelings tell me that after this letter I will never be able to write another letter to you. It is no wonder that I may be martyred tomorrow.

     Look! make sabr, on my death be happy and do not mourn, because my death in the path of Allah is an honour for you. Najiyya! I beg leave of you and in the world of thought I am embracing you.
     nsha’Allah we will meet in Jannah and thereafter we will never part.

     Your Anwar,

     Ghazi Anwar Pasha was martyred the following day

     @Abu Ayrow as Somali : Jazakallahu khair for your advice. I actually have read the 44 ways of supporting jihad and may Allah (swt) allow us to benefit from it. However, I was looking for more specific details about the physical training, such as how much spriting is done versus how much running is done during actual fighting. How much brute strength do we need and how much endurance/stamina do we need. What kinds of food is necessary for that kind of lifestyle and so on.

     Forgive me if I was unclear in my previous post.

     RE: Muad post 313

     The CIA identifies Britain as the greatest terror threat to the US

     Which country poses the greatest terrorist threat to the US? Iran? Saudi Arabia? Not according to the CIA. The real menace, say the boys from Langley comes – there is no way of putting this nicely – from Britain. It’s not Afghan badmashes who haunt the nightmares of Washington’s security men, nor Iraqi insurgents, nor rogue North Korean generals. It’s British Muslims.

     Now it’s true that these intelligence chaps are not always right. They have made a couple of spectacular boobs in the past: missing the warnings before 9/11, insisting that Saddam was moments away from nukes, losing Osama bin Laden. They are, after all, government workers, prone to the same inefficiencies as any other state-run institution. Even so, I’m not sure we can dismiss their concerns on this occasion. British nationals have been found on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Chechnya. They have been implicated in terrorist attacks in London and in Gaza.

     What motivates the British jihadi? What makes a boy brought up in Tipton or Wanstead or Beeston so hate his country that he takes up arms against it? There are several factors at work, including changes in Islam since the Iranian revolution and psychological tendencies that turn some young men in any society to violence. But why British youths? Why is a young man from Bradford deemed a greater threat to the US than one from Bahrain or Beirut or Brunei?

     I wonder whether it might have something to do with how we present British identity to our own children. After all, British Islam is not a new phenomenon. Hundreds of millions of Muslims lived peaceably under the British Crown in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in Egypt, India, Malaya and elsewhere. It never occurred to most of them that their faith should determine their civic allegiance. When Britain went to war against Ottoman Turkey in November 1914, it was also declaring war on the Caliph; yet this did not stop millions of British Muslims from rallying to the colours.

     Britain used an entity to which people wanted to belong. When the mother country was attacked, Empire and Commonwealth volunteers came in their millions to defend it, crossing half the world to take up arms for a nation they had never set eyes on, because they believed it stood for something.

     What does it stand for today? For the better part of half a century, British patriotism has been systematically derided and traduced by our elites. Our history, when taught at all, is often presented as a chronicle of racism and exploitation. Small wonder that, seeing the United Kingdom held in contempt, the peoples of its four constituent nations begin to grope backwards toward older patriotisms. But where does this leave newcomers? What is there for them to be part of?

     Maybe the multi-culti values inculcated by some social workers, local government officials and teachers teach youngsters to despise the British state. For years, our ruling elites have wallowed in national self-loathing. Perhaps, further down the scale, their self-loathing is being pursued to its grisly extreme.

     Somalia: Islamist groups merge to fight Sheikh Sharif

     4 Feb 4, 2009 – 7:05:02 PM

     by Yusuf M. Hassan, editor
     Garowe Online

     MOGADISHU, Somalia Feb 4 (Garowe Online) – Opposition to Somalia’s newest leader, Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, gained disturbing momentum Wednesday after four factions announced plans to merge and declare war on the new government.

     Sheikh Hassan Mahdi, a senior member of ARS-Eritrea faction, told reporters that all the groups merged to fight new President Sheikh Sharif and the anticipated ‘unity government.’

     Sheikh Sharif, Somalia’s new president

     He said the new group’s name is Hisbi Islam (”Islamic Party”) and described the four group as: Islamic Courts–Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys faction; Jabhatul Islamiya (”Islamic Front”); Mu’askar Ras Kamboni; and Anole.

     “The decision to form a united front came after many meetings among these groups, and we united to continue the jihad and to rule the country [Somalia] under Islamic law,” Sheikh Mahdi said.

     He strongly criticized Sheikh Sharif for adopting a secular constitution and “turning away from Islam,” while describing the new government as “the same as [ex-President] Abdullahi Yusuf’s government.”

     According to Sheikh Mahdi, the Al Shabaab faction is not a member of the newly-formed Islamic Party, but noted that the two sides have taken “identical positions” and suggested plans to begin merger talks soon.

     He accused Ethiopia of re-sending soldiers to Somalia, while condemning African Union peacekeepers (AMISOM) for “massacring” civilians following a roadside blast in Mogadishu.

     Ethiopia’s government has denied sending troops back to Somalia after withdrawing last month following a deeply unpopular, two-year military occupation.

     However, witnesses and Islamist administrators in the central Hiran region have reported Ethiopian troops’ presence along a strategic road inside Somalia’s international boundaries.

     In Mogadishu, AMISOM is recuperating after local officials publicly blamed the peacekeepers for gunning down 39 civilians. That figure was later corrected by Somali police chief, Gen. Abdi Qeybdiid, who put the death toll at 13 victims.

     “Another failing of this age is that we can see many slogans being raised for the liberation of Palestine, most of which meant to waste the cause. One of the most noteworthy of these responses is what governments are doing today through ministerial meetings and the referral of the case to the Security Council and the United Nations. This is one way of to evade responsibility and squander the cause of Palestine.”

     .

     “Another way is the request by some clerics and preachers that the rulers support Palestine; this too is just another way to evade responsibility and cause the loss of the blood of the martyrs and the Al-Aqsa mosque.”

     .

     “How can we beg the agents of our enemies? Aren’t these people fed up with begging for so long during all these protracted decades?”

     .

     Before the war in Somalia started against the Ethiopians, the leader of Somalia, Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, showed his interest in defending the land from the enemies. However, in the heat of the battle, he told his companions that he had to go somewhere for a brief second; the next thing they knew was that he took political asylum in Kenya and then eventually in Yemen! In other words, this man committed one of the most greatest sins (al-Kabaa’ir) a Muslim could ever commit and that is turning your back and fleeing from the battlefield. The West calls him a ‘moderate’ Islamist leader.

     The world saw him befriending the Tawaagheet and participating in the Democratic elections. When Shabab al-Mujahideen kicked the Ethiopian Crusaders out of most of Somalia, Sharif Ahmed took the opportunity to rise to power. Instead of helping his brothers, he decided to turn his back on them and kiss the feet of the Tawaagheet by obsessing over talks of having peace with the Ethiopian Taaghoot. Now, Sharif Ahmed is calling on foreign troops – either from AU or Ethiopia – to come back to Somalia in large numbers and help him fight off Shabab al-Mujahideen!

     May the curse of Allah be upon this two faced hypocrite.

     Shaykh Abu ‘Umar al-Saif
     February 2, 2009 by sumoodan

     Mohammad Bin Abdullah al-Sayf al-Jaber al-Buaynayn al-Tamimi was from the Bani Tamim tribes that are widespread in the Arabian Peninsula. His tribe was originally from Jubail in northeast Saudi Arabia. He was born in Qassim and died at the age of 37. The shakyh studied as a student of knowledge under Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih al-’Uthaymin (rahimahullah). Abu ‘Umar al-Sayf had “five brothers, two older ones, Mubarak and Ibrahim, who work at the Royal Commission in the Jubail Industrial Zone East of the Kingdom of [Saudi] Arabia, and three younger ones: Faisal, Badr and Ali, respectively. He also had six sisters. His father died while Abu ‘Umar was in college, and his mother still lives with her children in Jubail, where the whole family moved after they left Qassim”.

     Abu ‘Umar al-Sayf’s brother, Ali al-Tamimi, told the al-Hayat newspaper, “my brother participated in jihad in Afghanistan. He studied with Dr. Abdullah Azzam (rahimahullah) then returned to Saudi Arabia after the Russian army’s withdrawal and the civil war broke out in Afghanistan. My brother completed his university education in the College of Sharia at Imam Muhammad Bin Saud Islamic University; upon graduation, he was offered a job opportunity in the judicial field, but he declined and joined up with the Mujahideen again”.

     The shaykh went to Afghanistan in 1986 and stayed there for two years. During this time he only went back home once. Later, he returned home and graduated with honors from Imam Muhammad Bin Saud Islamic University. Abu ‘Umar al-Sayf went back to Chechnya in “1996 with his Saudi wife; two-year-old firstborn son; and two-month-old daughter, Asmaa, at the time”

     In Chechnya he join the ranks of the Arabs there when the battles against Russian forces were heating up under the leadership of the mujahid Samer as-Suwaylim (better known as Khattab – rahimahullah).

     Shaykh Abu ‘Umar ascended to the position of the Mufti of the Mujahideen in Chechnya, and he exerted great efforts in spreading the knowledge between the ranks of the Mujahideen, and conducting research in various Jihad related topics, just as he exerted great efforts in reviving the concept of applying the Shari’ah in the land of Chechnya by way of training the students of knowledge and sending them to various parts of Chechnya in order to spread knowledge there and to help the people deal Islamically with their daily problems. His concerns included all Jihad arenas and were not confined to the Chechen issue alone. He also gave advises and wrote treaties regarding the jihad in the Arabian Peninsula and Iraq.

     Abu ‘Umar al-Sayf, who was responsible for the Islamic courts in Chechnya when then-Chechen president, Zelimkhan Yandarbiev, attempted to declare Chechnya an Islamic state, became an ideologue of the Arab fighters in Chechnya and connected the presumed state in Chechnya with groups of Muslim clerics in the Arabian Gulf. He was one of the founders of the Mujahideen Shura Council of Sheeshaan.

     Abu ‘Umar al-Sayf married a Chechen woman, who was also martyred with him in Dagestan. He had three children with his Saudi wife—the youngest a six-year-old boy he had in Chechnya when his wife was staying with him before she returned to Saudi Arabia in 1999 with all her children.

     He was injured numerous times and there were several assassination attempts on his life.The Shaykh was not killed in Chechnya itself. Rather, he was martyred in the neighboring Republic of Dagestan, in mid November 2005 (1426 Hijri).

     Description of his martyrdom:

     Russian forces were (falsely) informed of the presence of a group of Mujahideen in a house, among them a prominent commander. The Russians brought in helicopters and heavy artillery to choke the Mujahideen out in anticipation that they would resist or try to escape. They then surrounded this house in which there was nobody except for the Shaykh – there were no other Mujahideen in the house. The Russians demanded that all in the house surrender to them; otherwise they would demolish the house and kill all who were inside. The Shaykh refused this demand and instead decided to fight. The Russians did not know that it was the Shaykh was in the house and that he was the one firing at them. Russian Special Forces then proceeded to storm the house, so the Shaykh threw an explosives belt that he was carrying at them, which resulted in many of the Russians – as well as the Shaykh himself – being killed.

     The Kuffar of the NEFA Foundation wrote a second honourable dissertation about Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaki. Anyone who is interested to know what these morons are saying, can check it out on their website which is below.

     But just to give you a taster this is the last part they wrote:

     Implications:

     • Al Awlaki is a highly regarded, American-born, pro-Jihad ideologue with access to a young audience in the United States, even from his location in Yemen. There is no other comparable pro-Al-Qaida American figure who has such tremendous access to audiences or who has such credibility.

     • His incarceration in Yemen and his associations with Al-Qaida figures adds to his credibility among young aspiring Jihadists. He has also managed to create a seemingly mainstream profile, with his books and CDs sold at general Islamic bookstores.

     • Al Awlaki tells his young audience that participation in Jihad is obligatory for all Muslims.

     @Bro Salaam 321, please read this….

     A Mujahid’s Fitness Training

     Shaykh Yusuf al-’Uyayri (may Allaah have Mercy upon him) said:

     “Indeed, the physical fitness of the Mujahid, his ability to run long distances, carry heavy loads and exert a lot of bodily effort for extended periods of time is the primary factor that determines his usefulness on the battlefield. A Mujahid can be skilled in the use of weapons, but due to his lack of physical fitness, he is unable to determine the proper position to fire his weapon from, or to scale a wall in order to find a better position to shoot from, etc. This can all happen due to a lack of physical fitness, and the Mujahid that has the luxury of a high level physical fitness is able to carry out all of the tasks required of him in the best manner possible, even if he is not an expert in the use of weapons. This is because he is able to maneuver and position himself in the best manner to shoot, and he is able to do all of this in the quickest and lightest manner possible, as tiredness and fatigue do not overtake him and occupy his thoughts and affect his speed. Because of this, we can conclude that physical fitness is an essential asset to the Mujahid, especially in the case of street-fighting.”

     And in our times in which we live today, we see that all of the Jihad’s in the world today take place in the form of guerilla warfare and street-fighting. And this requires a high level of physical fitness, so do not be, my brother, a burden on other than you, and start from now to acquire this required level of physical fitness.

     Do not belittle the issue of physical fitness my brother and know that the reward for it is great if it is sought with a sincere intention, and you intend with it to prepare yourself for Jihad in the Path of Allah, and the strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, and from strength is physical and bodily strength.

     The Shaykh, the Mujahid Yoosuf al-’Uyayri says:

     “The level of physical fitness that is required of the Mujahid consists of him being able to do the following:

     1. Jog for 10 kilometers (about 6.2 miles) without stopping, and this should take him no more than 70 minutes in the worst of cases
     2. Run a distance of 3 kilometers (roughly 2 miles) in about 13.5 minutes
     3. Run for a distance of 100 meters with only 12-15 seconds of rest
     4. Walk a long distance without stopping once for at least 10 hours
     5. Carry a load of 20 kilograms (around 44 pounds) for at least 4 hours straight
     6. Perform at least 70 push ups in one shot without stopping (one can start by performing 10 push ups at once, then increasing the number by 3 everyday until eventually reaching 70)
     7. Perform 100 sit ups in one shot without stopping (one can start by performing 10 sit ups at once, then increasing the number by 3 everyday until eventually reaching 100)
     8. Crawl using his arms for a distance of 50 meters in 70 seconds at most
     9. Perform the Farat like run (an exercise that combines walking, speed walking, jogging and running), and it is as follows:

     the Mujahid begins by walking normally for 2 minutes, then he walks quickly for 2 minutes, then he jogs for 2 minutes, then he runs for 2 minutes, then he runs fast for a distance of 100 meters, then he returns to walking, and so on and so forth until he does this 10 times non-stop) And normal walking differs from quick walking, which differs from jogging, which differs from running. Normal walking is known to all, while quick walking is that one walks at a greater speed while making sure not to raise his feet from the ground for a greater amount of time than he would while walking normally. As for jogging, then this is that one covers a distance of 1 kilometer (roughly 0.6 miles) in less than 5.5 minutes. As for running, then it is that one covers a distance of 1 kilometer in less than 4.5 minutes.

     This level of physical fitness can be achieved by the Mujahid in one month if he exerts great effort, with the condition that he advances gradually and does not damage his muscles or expose them to tearing. For example, if one begins at the start of the month by jogging for 15 minutes, and increased this time by 2 minutes every day, then this would mean that in a month’s time, he would be able to jog for an entire hour without stopping (assuming that the number of days in the month in which he exercises would be 20 if the exercise program was 5 days a week). Likewise, if he begins with 10 push ups at the start of the month and increases the number by 3 everyday, then this means that he would be able to perform 70 push ups nonstop in the space of one month. So, advancing gradually and continuously has a great effect on one’s fitness level. Also, during one’s physical program, there must be some strength training included to strengthen and tone one’s muscles, and the Mujahid must concentrate specifically on those types of weight training that can be performed without heavy exercise equipment, so that he can continue his physical program in any location. Exercise equipment has the effect of making one’s body inactive if he is away from them for a long period of time. The best type of exercises are those that can be performed easily and rely on the body’s own strength.”

     I hope you all benefit from this…bi’ithnillah

     @ brother abu Hassan jazakAllah for the informative posts. The fact that the west is referring to the new president of Somalia as a “moderate islamist” that it self speaks loud and clear. This man is more dangerous than the former president Abdullahi Yusuf who at his time proclaimed to be democratic government. In contrast sheikh sharif is hypocritically asserting he is going to govern the country with the shar’ah law. When in reality he is there to serve the mushrakeens (UN)

     @Muslim_always Amin,
     @Abu Hasan Jazakillah Khayr, when you grow up and live in Jahilliyyah society and see and experience all its evils eg. injustice, prejudice immorallity,corruption , when you live with dead people you want to be alive and that what Islam is , its the Haqq its real life not the illusion but the reality, Alhumduillah Rabul Alaimeen I could write for hours on this subject My son Abu Bakr faces court this week on the charge of assulting a police officer and resisting arrest ,when the police cant get you on something then they charge you with those offences They have 4 police witnesses , my sons word is nothing Yes he does use his mouth and has no fear of them and he did push a officers hand away , the whole system is corrupt and racsist if anyone was assulted its my son Our youth have to face Physical abuse/excessive force/verbal and psycholical abuse / legal abuse / violation of rights . He and other young Arab looking men are always targeted by a police force with Institutionised racism, the only one good thing thats come out of this experience is that our youth have developed the hate for the west and its systems and this can be utilised for good and is a Mercy from Allah swt)towards us all as they are our future Mujahideens My 13 year old , told me last week Mum I had sabr last year when students said things about Muslims, but this years if someone says something Im going to fight [ punch him in the face] Ahumduillah the concept of AL- WALAA ‘ WAL BARAA IS BEING DEVELOPED IN OUR YOUTH. Allah swt) is the best planner , everthing happens for a reason and to benefit the the ummah .

     The quote of Usamah bin Laden is excellent and so true

     @Ibnakwa Jazakillah Khayr that was really interesting and incouraging what a great man and a good examlpe [ Rahimahullah ]brothers follow in his foot steps, I think Jihad must be similar to fasting and Tahajjud once you’ve tasted its sweetness you’ never want to leave it Sabhan’Allah

     @ Salaam , the prayer and fast of Dawud sa) is good preperation and once your in the routine it becomes second nature and not a hardship . Eat lots of dates and drink lots of water in the days you don’t fast. wrestling is a great way to prepare the body and gain experience, plus whats mentioned in Hadiths do lots of running after fajr and some mountain climbing and drink Helba The Prophet swaw) said to eat when you dont feel like eating and to not eat when you do feel like eating . Learn to discipline your naths or it will discipline you

     @ spops , Helba has a unusual sour flavour thats why Arabs use it in a sweet similar to Hareesi [ semolina sweet with Almonds or pine nuts on top smothered in atar [sugar syrup ] but the sugar defeats the purpose it taste nice but isn’t good for you Its best to make tea from it and brew it for a couple of minutes you can add honey if you find the taste offensive , it is an aquired taste but as you said very beneficial, two cups of tea is sufficient every 2nd day or 3rd day , it is powerful does clean your system out. It release any toxins in the body , our muslim families in any war area should be drinking it especially in Gaza now Im not kidding . During the war in Bosnia when the muslim were forced to stay indoors [snippers , bombing of markets ] and food was scarce they would make their one meal from what people called an annoying weed , [ stinging nettle ], which is found everywhere, it is one of the best sources of iron and also releases the toxins purifies the blood and controls haemorrhaging ,so it was really a Allah send , Sabhan’Allah Yes Allah created every Herb for a reason Alhumduillah Rabul Alaimeen may our knowledge be increased in whats beneficial.

     الرحيم الرحمن الله سلم

     In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, Most Gracious
     .
     The fullness of Islam is something one must experience in order to understand. One can attend lectures and hear about it. One can read books and dream about it. One can do anything one wishes in an attempt to learn about it, but one cannot say a word until one lives it.
     .
     What do I mean the “fullness” of Islam? The words of this Hadith from Sahih Muslim encompass the meaning splendidly:
     .
     At the time of the Messenger of Allah (سلم و عليه الله صلى), one of the polytheists mockingly said to his companion Salman al-Farsi (عنه الله رض), “Your prophet has taught you everything, even the manners of going to the toilet.” Salman (عنه الله رضي) answered, “Yes, the Messenger of Allah (سلم و عليه الله صلى) forbade us from facing the Qibla (Direction of the Ka’aba) when urinating or relieving oneself”. Salman (عنه الله رضي) continued, “The Prophet (سلم و عليه الله صلى) asked us not to use the right hand when cleaning ourselves and to use at least three stones for cleaning”.
     .
     To say it more clearly, through Islam every single action I do becomes an act of worship. From seeking refuge in Allah from temptation when I enter the restroom, to praising Allah when I enter any room, essentially all actions become acts of worship. Such actions remind me always of Allah, and that nothing goes without his knowing. It all becomes part of the rhythm of life.
     .
     When the sun first begins to lighten the sky the call to prayer rings out, “Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar… [God is great. God is great].” This repeats four more times throughout the day, calling me to, “…Come to prayer! Come to goodness… .” The call usually echoes from my own lungs, but the message seems to come from somewhere else. It is a reminder to drop the life this world and thank the Lord of the next. When those words ring out I rush to prostrate myself before the might of the All-Powerful.
     .
     Prayer is always a reminder to me of my insignificance. I am but one person among billions. When I pray it is always a call to humble myself before the Creator. He made the universe and everything in it with ease. He created me and millions and perhaps billions of people better than I am. Although I strive to rise above them. Every time I line up for prayer it is a reminder that I am surrounded by brothers not just men. It is a reminder to learn from them as they also hear the call to prayer and respond. What makes them go? Their reason is not the same as mine. Every perspective I hear, every face I see, and every hand I shake it draws me closer to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala (Glory to Him the Most High).
     .
     When I talk to my brothers I absorb their motivation. When we talk it always goes back to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. When we compliment someone we say masha’Allah to give the compliment to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala for making it happen. When we receive a blessing we say, “al-hamdulilah,” to thank Allah Ta’ala. When we are startled or intrigued we say, “subhanAllah,” to give the glory to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. When we say something happened or will happen we say, “insha’Allah,” to recognize that the action only occurs through the will of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. It becomes impossible to separate religion and life. The atmosphere of conversation is that of piety and commitment. Every action becomes a reminder.
     .
     Insha’Allah there is not a conversation, nor an action, nor a thought in my mind that does not return me to remembrance of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. In Islam we are taught to, “Go trough this life as a stranger or a traveler,” and that, “When night comes do not expect to see the morning. Nor when morning comes, expect to see the night.” This life is but a small clearing in the forest of time. Every step I take is toward my death and my final abode in either Paradise or Hell. I do my best to walk toward gardens rather than flames, but the path is narrow and hard to trace. It is for this reason that I strive to make every thought and every action in the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious.

     The above is an essay for a class, but I figured I would share. The topic was, “What is spiritual to you?”

     @ ibnakwa You are right the website is down at the moment. There could be many explanations for it but you can contact the admin, just copy the link below. According to the internet domain the website expires on in June 2009, so it should be on. But if it appears to be down permanently in the near future I have a feeling that BILL WARNER has something to do with it. This Kuffar got the website down before and he also got the website of Al Shabaab down completely. And he even wrote on his blog about thabaat see: http://www.billwarnerpi.com/2009/01/charlotte-nc-al-qaeda-blog-of-samir.htm

     Ibn al-Qayyim: The Characteristics of the Seeker of Happiness

     Ibn al-Qayyim said:

     “…The seeker of Allah and the Hereafter – rather, the one who seeks to obtain all knowledge, productiveness, and leadership, such that he is a leader who is taken as an example in all of this – should be brave, bold, in control of his whims, and not under the control of his imagination.

     He should be abstinent from everything except that which he is after, passionate about what he has turned his face towards, knowing the path to it, as well as the paths which lead away from it.

     He should be bold in his aspiration, firm in his resolve, and not swayed from his goal by the blame of the blamers or the discouragement of the discouragers.

     He should generally be tranquil, constantly in thought, and not be moved by the sweetness of a compliment or the pain of criticism.

     He should be forthcoming in providing himself with what he needs to help him obtain his goal, and should not be incited by those who oppose him.

     His slogan should be patience, and his rest should be his fatigue, and he should love to have the best manners.

     He should make the best of his time, not mixing with the people except in a most cautious state, just like a bird that quickly comes down to snatch a morsel from between two people.

     He should stand over himself, encouraging himself by way of hope and fear, and should seek to be outstanding amongst his group…”

     ['al-Fawa'id'; p. 265]

     February 10, 2009 - الثلاثاء 15 صفر 1430 at 1:45 am

     @ faiza I copied the article from the thabaat website. Alhamdulillah if it was beneficial to you. You are right when you are saying ‘………that it self speaks loud and clear.” The fact that Washington congratulated Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed when he won the election made quite suspicious. And now this guy is saying that the solution for the anarchy and lawlessness that prevailed in Somalia for past two decades is AMERICA. I am like WHAT???!!! Did this guy just say what I think he said? Is he crazy, who is trying to fool??? The Somali people or the US? But subhannallah this guy is for real. It’s all over the news just Google the following ‘US toward new Somali president’ or ‘New Somali president US’. You will get REUTER (CAIRO) and a lot of other articles from different publishers.

     But we as Muslims see this happening all over again. The first requirement before starting anything for the sake of Allah is intents. One should purify his/her intention before taking up a task. Especially when it comes to jihad, one should seek to understand his /her intent and this also the first point in dissertation by Imam Anwar “44 ways to Support Jihad”. Having the right intention is not something insignificant; indeed this is the half of the work done all ready. In the case of Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, there were many men like him. There mujahedeen in the Taliban at the era of the soviets, that where considered to be great men. But as soon as the enemies where fighting collectively and the Muslims where losing a battle here and there. Some of these men forsake the battlefield. As yourself why? How come a lion of Islam, turns out be a cat in the days of difficulties? The answer is simple; these men chose to be in the ranks of the mujahedeen in order to gain honour, power, status etc. There are men who were with the Taliban and switch their alliance to the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan; which fight the Taliban. And Sheikh Sharif has already or will in the near future form a group to fight Al Shabaab and Hisbi Islam.

     Takbeer. Allu akbar!!! Takbeer. Allu akbar!!! Takbeer. Allu akbar!!!

     Hisbi Islam also know as Hizbul Islaami or Hezb-ul Islam is a Somali Islamist insurgent group. Four fraction groups merged together to fight the new Somali government of Sheikh Sharif Sheik Ahmed. I cannot wait to see how late the US will designate them as terrorist! LOL. Please more on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hisbi_Islam

     Every Muslim should know by assessing the current situation, how the US welcomes this newly elected president and most importantly how the media, seems to have a different stance towards this individual that he is indeed a puppet goverment of US. We don’t need some fatwa from a cleric, every simple minded Muslim knows that the US will never be happy unless it installs it own handpick puppet government!!!!!

     The fact is that Somalia never was of any importance to international community. The country and the inhabitants where neglected after the well know “Black Hawk down”. Somalia and its people meant nothing to the US, nothing to the United Nations, nothing to Arab League, nothing to EU, nothing to any country at all. And suddenly the whole international community became interested in the current affairs of Somalia, just because the Kuffar defamed our religion and defamed Sharia and much more with the mouth piece of Satan (i.e. Media).

     The fact is that muslims cannot have amanah (trust) in the kuffar and hypocrites. And truly the prophecy of the prophet (SAAWS) came true. Nowadays muslims trust the kuffar and distrust the muslims.

     And I can go on and on about this, but it does not matter at all for this man Sheikh Sharief Sheikh Ahmed will have the same desitiny as Musharif and all other puppet governments selected by the the White House. He shall soon be dismissed after he proved to unuseful or when Washington reaches its goal.

     He can waiting two things. Either being killed by the hands of the mujahideen or awaiting the punishment of Allah to reach him, while he prostituted for Washington.

     On the otherhand for the mujaheed awaits two great fortunes. Either a victory or shahada (martyrdom).

     Umm Umar (333) Alhamdulillah that you liked the quote of Usamah, I got of the thabaat website also. Subhannallah a lot of people seem to like the content of revolution.thabaat.net. Inshallah it will be online as soon as possible.

     .

     With regard to your son Abu Bakr, the police is known to be racist and now we live in a post 9/11 society it is a fact that the police abuse their authority. The security service is als known to racially profiling Muslims; its seems that whoever has a beard and has a middle eastern origin could be a victim (a suspect to them). All I can see is have patience and get a good attorney.

     .

     Other than that there is no comment or advice that I can give to you in detail because I am not a parent myself. I understand that it is dilemma to raise your children in the West, but have patience and prepare yourself and your family for hijrah. I am in my early twenties and am planning to make hijrah after I graduate.

     .

     I have never visited a Muslims country before, but everyone knows that living in a Muslims country makes life as Muslims easier and as a Muslim parent takes a whole load of worries of your mind. Salaat, fasting and everything else becomes quite simple to everyone. I have not chosen my particular destination but I am thing of Yemen.

     .

     I have found an article that goes through your concerns in more detail: http://www.salaam.co.uk/course/manisinloss.php

     .

     “Muhammad was a truly devout Algerian Muslim who had done everything to raise a good Algerian Muslim son. But his son was not an Algerian; he was as American as apple pie, and whatever used to work back in Algeria had failed in America, as it did for so many others”.

     .

     I hope you find this useful bi’dnillah

     @ Zakariya, insha”Allah your plans are moving along smoothly and Jazakillah Khayr , Ghazi Anwar was a very wise man [ rahimahullah ]the moral to your story is to love in moderation , to put no one before your love and obedience to Allah , [ for both men and women ]
     Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
     O ye who believe ! lo among your wives and your children there are enermies for you, therefor beware of them. And if you efface and overlook and forgive , then lo! Allah is forgiving, Merciful 64;14
     Your wealth and your children are only a temptation , whereas Allah ! with Him is an immense reward 64;15

     One of the best examples of the ideal relationship that a married couple can have and a family is that of Zakariya as) and his wife and their son Yahya as)

     So We answered his call , and We bestowed upon him Yahya, and cured his wife for him. Verily they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call on Us with hope and fear , and they were Khashi’in before Us. 21;90
     Khashi’in = sincerely and truly believing in that which was revealed by Allah,those that humble themselves before Allah, Fearing, Khushu means the fear that never leaves our heart. Ibn katheer
     Allah make us all from the Khashi’in

     @ andalus
     i understand where ur coming from. However i still hold a strong opinion that if they wanted to bomb the schools due to the reason they have given it becomes necessary for them to build a school which shall follow a correct curriculum. I dont believe the children are going to understand the reason behind the talibans action and would definately build an anger towards them. Now you might say its not the talibans problem but dont forget these children are the future.
     This is not a short term situation therefore its necessary to think ahead.
     Building a secure and proper school in swat valley and around taliban controlled regions would be a smart step to take.

     and i was woulding if this article is true

     http://www.presstv.com/Detail.aspx?id=85193&sectionid=351020501

     Al-Shabaab fighters have quit opposition to Somalia’s transitional government, after the country’s Clerics Council endorsed the new president.

     On Monday, President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed held a reconciliation ceremony attended by the representatives of the fighters, governmental and military officials and thousands of Somali public, a Press TV correspondent reported.

     The event, held in the police center Comando Polizia south of the capital, Mogadishu, witnessed the gunmen and the Somali military officials vowing to abandon hostilities towards each other.

     The development came after the chairman of the Somali Clerics Council, Sheikh Nur Barood Gurhan, expressed the full support for Sheik Ahmed.

     Sheikh Abdi Qadir Ali Omar, the head of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC), al-Shabaab’s political front, denounced violence and pledged allegiance to Sheikh Ahmed during the ceremony.

     The president called on both sides to “exchange true forgiveness and forget the past.”

     Sheik Sharif, a cleric and former opposition leader was elected as Somali’s new president on January 31 by lawmakers who had gathered in Djibouti, after a number of their fellow lawmakers were targeted in Baidoa – the seat of the Somali parliament.

     President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed (R)
     Accusing the former Somali leadership, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, of Western loyalties, the UIC staged a long-standing armed resistance against the country’s Transitional Federal Government (TFG).

     Analysts say the appointment of Sheikh Ahmed is likely to restore calm in the war-torn country.

     Sheikh Ahmed also demanded that preparations be made for the displaced people to return to their residences. He has also called for departure of all foreign troops from Somalia, the Chairman of Traditional Council of the leader’s clan Mohamed Hassan Haad said earlier in the day.

     Taliban Brothers have implemented Sharia in Swat and Alhamdulillah dominating the region. Ameer Fazlullah Hifdhullah, MashaAllah is holding up his FM Radio lectures without any prolam.
     For those who are curious about burning of schools in swat,when Napak army enters their land, they occupie these schools and use them as army base, therefore when they come under attack from Mujahideen, the schools are obviously destroyed. and all this is propagated in media negatively as they have burnt those schools under which kids were studing. Yes ofcourse they are against the western education system. There is no need to listen and believe all the Fasiq News Channels.
     Taliban are spreading in Pakistan like wild fire and inshaAllah soon will hold sharia all over pakistan (amin).

     Jihad_4life (post 359) the article you have posted is incorrect.

     The Iranian site PressTV just uses the term ‘Al-Shabaab’ loosely to refer to any Somali fighter.

     The article is actually talking about the Djibouti wing of the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia, and not talking about Al-Shabaab at all.

     Sheikh Abdi Qadir Ali Omar has nothing to do with Al-Shabaab.

     A few weeks back PressTV also talked about Al-Shabaab wanting peace with Sharif, and that time the person they were quoting was Sheikh AbdiRahin Isse Addow, who also has nothing at all to do with al-Shabaab.

     Either out of ignorance, or more likely out of a deserve to confuse and deceive the Muslims, the Iranians constantly take quotes from random Somalis, and falsely attribute attribute them to Al-Shabaab.

     In future, unless you hear the news directly from Sheikh Muktar Robow (Abu Mansur) or Sheikh Hassan Yakub, then it is more than likely not from Al-Shabaab at all.

     And EVERYTHING you read from PressTV should be taken with a grain of salt, wa Allahu Alam.

     @Jihad_4life(359). I found an article on hiiran.com that is more detailed.
     Here are a few paragraphs that astonished me severely subhannah.

     .

     Press TV
     Feb 09, 2009

     .

     “Before Sheik Sharif’s election you [Al Shabaab] were all fighting for an Islamic leader, but now you have no excuse,” the Clerics Council chief said.

     He also accused the rebels of killing innocent civilians and causing further instability in the war-wracked country.

     “If you die during battle, you die as rebels and not as martyrs,” Gurhan said.

     .

     Here are a few comments left on the website, that I have edited some of them a little bit.

     .

     “Green Zone Scholars are now on the verge of giving paradise to anyone they want…I’m expecting soon they will put spare on the corners to collect money from people and give the key in paradise in return…”

     .

     “If you die during battle, you die as rebels and not as martyrs,” What? If you die fighting for Islam, you die as a rebel? On what basis Sheikh Baruud saying this? This is outright ignorant and childish statement. It is very obvious if he is stating these that he is under the payroll of someone who is making him say those things. It is really sad that he has to expose himself this far.

May be they should have their own people, and stop Lord’s Resistance Army group rapping children, killing civilians. They fool you if they make you believe they are here to help.

     @ s.k.a are you referring to this post?
     .
     “1. Who exactly are you referring to when you use the word ‘terrorist?’ What groups are you referring to? And are all Jihad groups today, terrorists? Are there any Jihad groups which are not terrorists/Is there a legitimate Jihad in our world today? I believe an honest researched answer only produces honest results.
     .
     2. The majority of terrorists today follow well-known and well-established rulings from the classical and contemporary ‘Ulema. If you study their works – such as productions from As-Sahab Media, Magazines such as Sawt al-Jihad, publication groups such as At-Tibyan Publications – it becomes clear, very quickly, that these Muslims are well-grounded in knowledge from the ‘Ulema. So I hope there is no agenda here to say that the terrorists of our world have turned their backs on the ‘Ulema because they themselves preach to each other and all Muslims to follow the Salaf as-Saalih, and all the Imam’s and Scholars of Guidance. In classical scholarship, they follow a plethora of Scholars – too many to list here -, but just to name a few whom they are big on are as follows:
     a. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah
     b. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim
     c. Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab
     d. Ibn Katheer
     .
     etc.
     .
     As for the contemporary Scholars that they are big on – and again, this list is too big to put here – some of them are as follows:
     a. Shaykh Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi
     b. Shaykh ‘Ali ibn Khudhayr Al-Khudhayr
     c. Shaykh ‘Abdullah Yusuf ‘Azzam
     d. Shaykh Hamud ibn ‘Uqla ash-Shu’aybi
     e. Imam Anwar al-’Awlaki
     .
     That reminds me. Since Imam Anwar is one of the very few Du’aat from the West, I think it’s best you engage a person like him since he’s a major source for some of the terrorists.”
     by Abu Muslim
     .
     We will defend the Shaykh and our brothers insha’Allah. The Shaykh has more important things to do.
     .
     “since he’s a major source for some of the terrorists.”
     .
     terrorists=mujihadeen
     .
     That statement made me laugh subhan’Allah

     From Thawaabit ‘ala darb al Jihad

     by Shaykh Yusuf al ‘Uyayree

     Abu Hurairah narrated: The Messenger of Allah said:
     “The trials and tribulations are on there way. Trials like pieces of a dark night. The safest from them would be a man living on the peaks of mountains, living off his flock of sheep, or a man mounting his horse living off his sword.”

     SubhanAllah. What are we doing in the West in the first place? The safest of Muslims would be the one living like a hermit by worshipping Allah far away from the evil (and dajjali) society or the one who is living off of his sword fighting fe sabeelillah and living the life of Jihad. There is nothing else in between. Some will give the excuse of doing da’wah, which is a legitimate reason according to Shari’ah. However, da’wah implies the da’wah of Nuh (‘alayhis salaam) which was spreading the religion of Allah day and night, on a consistent base. In any case, those Muslims that were ordered by the Ameerul Mo’mineen to certain lands of disbelievers were not your average Joe Schmoe Muslims today; these were the best of Muslims and in most cases were Scholars. We cannot justify living in the lands of the disbelievers, especially since no Ameer has ordered us to be here in the first place to give da’wah. What kind of example are we for da’wah when we adopt the ways and culture of the kuffar and our justification of doing so is that we can make Islam presentable? Is that what the Sahaba and early Salaf did? Did they go after the things that the disbelievers went after? Did they immerse themselves into the dunya like any regular disbeliever? Not even in their dress did these Muslims adopt of the non-Muslims. They were to stay unique in society. Da’wah in the West is not our most important priority. Our priority is to help our own Muslim Countries back home, especially in this time when Jihad is Fard al ‘Ayn. We should do whatever we can within our means to leave the lands of the disbelievers and help the Muslims establish Islam back home through Jihad. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhe wassallam) said:

     “Whoever joins a Mushrik (non-Muslim) and lives with him is like him.”

     Jabir relates that the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhe wassallam) said, “I am free of every Muslim who lives among the Mushrikeen.” We asked, “Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied, “Their fires should not be visible to one another”

     @ Um Umar

     Al-salaamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

     Insha’Allah they are going beautifully right now. There is not much more I could ask for. I am doing everything I can think of to make my way, and as soon as I have the means I will be gone, so if my name disappears from this website say, “al-hamdulilah.” It means I am either in prison, the grave, or dar al-eman insha’Allah. Well, I would hope to skip the grave part, but Allahu ‘alim what will happen. Other things seem to be falling into place too. The only thing that will keep me here for a day longer would be to take someone with me.

     There are some things I wish to tell to everyone who reads this blog. The advice I am going to give is real and it is easy to implement. You must have taqwa to do it, but we should all strive for this. When you read what I am posting I encourage you all to stop reading, go do it, and then come back. Including the things which take a while. I have either implemented all of these myself, or they did not apply to me, so I know they can be done:

     Take all credit cards, check cards, and debit cards and cut them in half.

     Take all money, paper and coin, and remove it from your wallets and put it in a safe place.

     Close your bank accounts. You do not need them to pay bills as cash is valid in all transactions. Furthermore, you can cash checks without an account, so you do not need to worry about this.

     Go apply for jobs if you do not have one. Suck it up and do it now. Many of us post on here, including me up until very recently, without actually taking steps. This is one of those steps.

     The above steps make it so that purchasing anything is a hassle, so you are forced to save money.

     Here is a list of items which you need. All others are luxury and I will list some luxuries you might not have thought of:

     Siwaq/Miswaq

     Shoes

     An outer garment

     An under garment for warmth (Preferably have it be athletic wear so you can work out in it and minimize your costs)

     (sisters) Something to complete your hijab – niqqab/scarf

     One pair of khufain

     Food

     Water

     Shelter

     Things which are luxuries and you should not purchase any longer:

     Shampoo and Soap (just be thorough with water)

     Toothpaste (Use the miswaq frequently)

     Laundry detergent (Suck it up brothers and sisters)

     Furniture (The floor is my bed. You are going to be sleeping on dirt insha’Allah so get used to it)

     Pillows (That doesn’t mean throw them out, just don’t buy anymore)

     Restaurants

     Drinks other than TAP water (Milk is important if you are working out, but do not buy it as a luxury)

     Food that is not in bulk (my food is free, so I guess I didn’t do this one myself, but do it anyway)

     Coffee and Tea (Just reiterating the tap water thing)

     Car trips to unnecessary locations (Don’t drive somewhere for fun. Don ‘t take a bus to something “fun.” Either get a ride, or don’t go)

     Obviously there are more, but through implementing these I have managed to spend only $0.50 in more than a week. Some of it is tough, but it is important. It is like praying the night prayers – sometimes you just have to suck it up.

     A person who has been more beneficial to my implementation of such things than anyone else sent me a story that has helped me do these things. If they would like me to say who they are on here, then I will do so, but otherwise I will just leave the credit anonymous:

     “There is a brother who saved money in Turkey, every time he went to the restaurant or some place, he just saw the food and never bought it and said “as if i eat”. Then he would save that money and subhan Allah the brother got enough money by doing this and built a masjid and called it “as if i eat” masjid i think it is in Turkish !!! wa Allahu ‘alam well use your imagination for what u can do besides waste money .”

     It is very brief, but inspiring.

     @ Um Umar again,

     You are definitely one of the wisest posters on this website, and I would appreciate some advice. The question I have will not go through moderation so please e-mail me at zchesser@gmu.edu.

     Ok… now I gotta post something so I am not wasting the time of the rest of the brothers and sisters on this website:

     THE DECLARATION OF FAITH

     What the Declaration of Faith Confirms and What it Denies

     The meaning of the first part of the declaration of faith, ‘There is no god but Allah’, is that nothing other than Allah is worthy of worship. This denies the attribution of divinity to all other things, and affirms it as a quality which belongs to Allah alone. (Shaykh Abdar-Rahman ibn Hassan, Fath al-Majid, p.36)

     Ibn Taimiyah said: “The heart will not find complete happiness except by loving Allah and by striving towards what is dear to Him. It is not possible to achieve this love except by rejecting all things that compete with it. This is what the words, ‘There is no god but Allah’ mean; this is the spirit of the deen of Ibrahim and of that of every other prophet.” (Ibn Taimiya, Majmu’ al-Fatawa, vol 28, p.32, Riyadh)

     When someone says, ‘There is no god but Allah’, he has denied one thing and affirmed another. With these words the believer first denies all those who reject faith, worship created things, obey the tyrant, rule by injustice or remain content under oppression; and then he affirms his allegiance to Allah, to His deen, to His Book, to His righteous servants, and to the Sunnah of His Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace : “Whoever rejects false deities and believes in Allah has grasped a firm handhold which will never break.” [2:256]

     As for the second part of the declaration, ‘Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah’, this means that we do what the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, has told us to do, and stop doing what he has told us not to do. According to Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, “No one truly believes until he rejects the forces of disbelief.” This is supported by ayah 2 :256 just cited. The declaration of faith is a declaration of complete loyalty to the Shari’ah : “Follow that which is sent down to you from your Lord, and follow no protecting friends beside Him. Little do you recollect!” [7:3]; and : “So set your purpose (O Muhammad) for the deen as a man by nature upright – the natural way of Allah, in which He has created man.” [30:30]

     You must also denounce the rule of Ignorance: “Is it the judgement of the time of ignorance that they seek? And who is better than Allah for judgment for a people who have certainty (in their belief)?” [5:50] Indeed you must deny all other religions: “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him, and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter.” [3:85]

     The declaration of faith is thus a denial and an affirmation. In fact, it denies four things and affirms four others. It denies false deities, the tyrant, intermediaries, and ordained authorities, who are bogus. If you think a thing can help you or protect you from harm then you have taken it as a god. A tyrant demands that you worship and adore him. An intermediary, whether family, community or property, distracts you from faith: “And from among mankind are some who take for themselves (objects of worship as) rivals to Allah loving them as they should only love Allah.” [2:156]

     Bogus authority advises you to act against truth and to disobey Allah: “They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks.” [9:31]

     It also affirms four things: that the object of your worship is Allah; that glorification and love are for Allah alone; that hope and fear are due only to Allah; and that you are aware of Allah’s power and might, this awareness is taqwa. The single and unique goal of the believer is to worship Allah and none other than Him. Thus, the believer’s love is for Allah alone: “And those who believe are stronger in their love for Allah.” [2:156] Hope, too, is exclusively in Allah and one fears nothing but Him: “If Allah afflicts you with some hurt, there is no one who can remove it except Him; and if He desires good for you, there is no one who can repel His bounty. He strikes with it whom He wishes of his servants. He is the Forgiving, the Compassionate.” [10:107]

     Lastly, the believer is conscious of Allah and aware of the danger of His displeasure and of His wrath. It is taqwa that causes a person abandon disbelief and disobedience, to devote himself entirely to Allah and to obey His law and His command. Ibn Mas’ud said: “When you act in obedience to Allah, in the light of Allah, you hope for Allah’s reward. When you abandon disobedience of Allah, in the light of Allah, you fear Allah’s punishment.” (Majumu’at ar-Rasa’il wal-Masa’il al-Najdiyya, Muhammad Rashid Rida, eds. vol4, p.99)

     Whoever recognises these things must sever all links to anything other than Allah and free his heart from falsehood. Thus Allah tells us that Ibrahim, as well as our own Prophet, may the blessings and peace of Allah be on them, smashed the idols that their people tood as gods and rejected all who worshipped them: “There is a good example for you in Ibrahim and those with him, when they told their people: Surely we disassociate ourselves from you and all that you worship beside Allah. We have done with you. And there has arisen between us and you enmity and hate forever until you believe in Allah only.” [60:4]

     >From beginning to end the Qur’an is a clarification of the meaning of the words, ‘There is no god but Allah’. This statement is both a denial of shirk and of those who commit it, and an approval of sincerity and of those who strive for it. Every word and every deed that is dear to Allah is in some way connected to this declaration. It is the source of all noble action, its definition and its guide. This is why Allah has called it the ‘declaration of fear’.

     The Prophet’s Companions and the Declaration of Faith

     The following account illustrates the Companions’ understanding and experience of the Kalima. In 170 AH someone asked Imam Sufiyan ibn Uyaynah al-Hillali * about faith. He said:

     “It is in both speech and action.” “But does it increase of decrease?” asked the man. “It increases as Allah wishes, and it decreases as He wishes until no more of it than this remains,” and held out his hand. The man said,”So what should be our attitude towards those among us who assert that is is speech and not action?”

     “This is what people used to say before the nature and limits of faith had been made clear. Of course Allah, Glorious and Mighty is He, sent his Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to all of humanity to tell them that there is no god but Allah and that he is the Messenger of Allah. Once they had accepted this, the security of their money and their lives was assured and they became accountable to Allah alone.”

     “When Allah was satisfied with their sincerity, He commanded His Prophet to order them to pray. He ordered them to do this and they did it. By Allah, had they not done this their first act would not have helped them.”

     “When Allah was satisfied with the sincerity of their prayers, He told His Prophet to order them to migrate to Madinah. By Allah, had they not done this neither their first act nor their prayers would have helped them.”

     “When Allah was satisfied with the sincerity of their hearts in this, He commanded them to return to Makkah to fight their fathers and their brothers until these said the Word which they had said, established the same prayer and joined the same migration. He commanded them to do this and they did it. One of them even came with the head of his father and said,’O Messenger of Allah, here is the head of a leader of the disbelievers.’ By Allah, had they not done this their first act, their prayers and their migration would not have helped them.”

     “When Allah was satisfied with the sincerity of their hearts in this, He told His Messenger to order them to complete the rite of tawaf and to shave their heads in humility, which they did. By Allah, had they not done this their first act, their prayers, their migration and their combat with their fathers would not have helped them.”

     “When Allah was satisfied with the sincerity of their hearts in this He told the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to take a part of their money by which to purify themselves. He commanded them to do this and they did, giving much and giving little. By Allah, had they not done this their first act, their prayers, their migration, their combat with their fathers and their tawaf would not have helped them.”

     “When Allah was satisfied withe the sincerity of their hearts which were now in harmony with the nature and limits of faith, He said to them: “This day I have perfected your deen for you and have completed My blessings to you, and have chosen for you as your deen al-Islam [5:3].”

     Imam Sufiyan continued: “Whoever abandons any part of faith is a disbeliever as far as wer are concerned. If this from neglect we would correct him, but he would be lacking in our eyes. This is the Sunnah. Relate it on my behalf to whoever may ask about it.” (Al-Shar’a, Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn al-Hussain al-Ajari, p.104)

     * Imam Sufiyan ibn Uyaynah al-Hillali (107-198 AH): Imam Shafi’i said of him: “Were it not for Imams Malik and ibn Uyaynah, the learning of the Hijaz would have been lost.” Imam Ahmad said, “I have not seen anyone more knowledgeable in the Sunnah than ibn Uyaynah.”

     Brothers and Sisters

     I have a question regarding what the Salafi Publication and Salafitalk website are saying about Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki.

     They claim that a sect or methodology what they call “Qutubiyyah”, which sound the same as what the kuffar call “Political Islam”.

     I dont seem to understand it, but they seem to agree on one thing, that Jihad is not permisseble since you have to “obey the leader”. I mean what leader? Bush, Blair or the Saud familiy?

     They both seem to make a lot of “peculiar” excuses subahannah, I made laugh how they commented and even wrote a e-book entitled: “The Difference between the Qutubiyyah and the sheikhs of Da’wah Salaffiyah.

     If anyone want to learn more about this phenomenon. Please listen to: “Advice to the UK Salafis”, which can be found on http://www.kalamullah.com/ali-timimi.html go below on the other.

     It’s a nice naseeha by audio in which the Sheikh Ali Tamimi highlights the problems, disease and the cure. The disease which lead to think ill of Brothers and Sisters, a disease that leads to slandering and backbiting etc. The Sheikh also tells; clear WHAT IS THE TRUE DA’AW AL SALLAFIYAH.

     Out of my personal experience, I still see a lot of young Muslims sticking to one masjid (Salafi). I mean it all seems good, honestly in my first 6 months I was studying with the students at Salafi masjid. I felt that this was as good as it gets, the best brotherhood feeling ever. Eventually alhadullah, by discussion with a lot of students about the situation of Somalia (2006 ICU Era) and other lands of Jihad. I was shocked when they shared their comments and opinions with me. I was even futher shocked because they where Somali themselves and thought how could you excuse yourself by saying: “Akhi don’t worry, it’s just fitna. When we start to go back to our religion everything will be better”. I was shocked wallahi. I am glad that my brother and my friends advised me for months and months. I was part of country club not a mahaji. I was part of a group of young muslims in my age range, with whom I could relate to. But subhanallal this phenomena continuous.

     I would recommend the lecture to everyone.
     Insha-Allah I will write a transcript of the lecture given by Sheikh Ali Timimi (may Allah free him)
     Dear Brothers and Sister this whole topic of Salafi UK and US is a great fitna. This is definitely segregating and separating the Ummah, while confusing a lot of young Muslims (I myself was confused for time).

     @ Abu Hassan jazakum Allah khair for exposing the Madaakhilah named after Rabee’ bin Haadee al-Madkhalee may Allah give him what he deserves. and all praise is due to Allah for guiding you to the truth.
     .
     As the Madaakhilah dawah is base on protecting the King’s throne and defaming the mujahideen. They consider all the mujahideen today Khawaarij or Takfeerees wa’outhi billah and consider the rulers to be amir al mu’mieen. They also claim that they are fighting the ideology of khawaarij and takfeer and if course innovation. If you have been around them or attended their lectures you will notice that they solely focus on bashing the muslims and spreading hatred of Sh. Osama (ha). The worse trait of them is they tend to take positions that are favorable for Islaam’s enemies, harsh against the Muslims, mimmicking the Khawaarij in their “killing of Islaam’s people, leaving the idol-worshippers.” As the proof is in the report published by the the Kufars with Rabee name included and how the kufars should support him indirectly because he is effective in fighting the so call terrorist (mujahideen).

     Abu Yahya’s Six Easy Steps for Defeating al-Qaeda
     By Jarret Brachman
     .
     “Abu Yahya’s third strategic point deals with the government’s prompting of mainstream Muslim clerics to issue fatwas (religious rulings) that incriminate the Jihadist Movement and their actions. Abu Yahya shudders at other Muslims’ use of “repulsive legal terms, such as bandits, Khawarij (literally, “those who seceded,” refers to the earliest Islamic sect) and even Karamathians or al-Qaramitah, (“extreme fanatics”) in referring to the Jihadists. Abu Yahya is not the first to make these points, however. In fact, followers of the Saudi Salafist shaikh, Rabi bin Hadi al-Madkhali, frequently used the following terms in order to assault the Jihadists:
     .
     - “Jihadi:” Anyone who believes that Jihad is a purely individual duty to fight
     - “Takfiri:” Anyone who excommunicates Arab rulers or Muslims
     - “Khariji Bandit:” Anyone who actively seeks to overthrow Arab rulers
     - “Qutubi:” Anyone who reveres, quotes or even positively mentions Sayyid Qutb (an early hard-line Egyptian thinker)
     - “Hizbi:” Anyone who participates in anti-establishment activist group
     - “Dirty Groundhog”: a traitor to one’s religion, used specifically against Saudi hard-line cleric, Shaikh Hamoud bin Uqla as-Shuaybi in the 1990s
     - “Rabid Dogs”: a generic label for extremists
     - “The Dog”: referring specifically to Usama Bin Ladin
     - “Perennial Defender of Innovators”: an attack against extremists for rejecting centuries of accepted historical teachings and interpretations of Islam
     - “Betrayer of the Salafi Way”: used to attack hard-line clerics who step outside the bounds of mainstream Islamic conservatism.[4]

     .

     From the report: Stealing Al-Qa’ida’s Playbook
     .
     “5. Religious leaders play a critical role in attracting youth to the movement, providing religious justification for violence, and determining its overall strategic direction. But this cuts both ways, as non‐jihadi religious leaders are able to siphon off support from the movement and challenge its legitimacy. The United States should very carefully and unobtrusively support Muslim religious leaders and movements that can effectively compete with the jihadi movement in terms of mass appeal and popularity among the youth. Naturally, many of the most effective competitors will not be friendly to the United States and the West; but if the bottom line is a rejection of violence against the United States and its allies, they should be supported. The difficulty comes in identifying the right leader or group. The U.S. could discretely fund mainstream Salafi figures like Madkhali who are effective in siphoning off support from jihadis and who do not advocate violence (e.g. by paying for publications, lectures, new schools). This will be effective in the short term, but it further strengthens the dehumanizing Salafi ideology from which the jihadi movement derives much of its inspiration. ”
     .
     So when you mention to the Madallkhillah that their scholar is a strategic ally of the US government. The response is quite laughable “we have the same goal” defeating the ideology of takfeer. These brothers are sick may Allah guide them.

     @ brother Zakariya
     ok ur over doing it now. Allah (swt) tells us to spend what he has provided us with in a moderate way. In my honest opinon the worst trait a human being could have is being tight now we are not jews lol.

     There is nothing wrong with spending money as long its done in moderation and in a halal way offcourse. You forgot to mention giving sadaqah dont forget in the Quran there is a verse that says:
     “Truly, my lord enlarges the provision for whom he wills of his slaves, and (also) restricts (it) for him, and whatsoever you spend of anything (in Allah (swt) cause) he will replace it. And he is the best of providers”

     I say this cause i have experienced it myself, Wallahi i didnt have much money once and spent a good sum of it for the sake of Allah (swt) and he did replace it for me x4 within the two weeks i had spent it!!

     i have noticed when people become too afraid to spend their money even if they have heaps of it there is no baraqa in what they have.

     Now i understand your pure intentions but please dont lose your personality over it.

     As-Salamu-Alykum Wa-Rahmatullah.

     I’m a little confused, I posted a comment yesterday with the link: http://www.noorad-deen.com/?p=186
     I posted it under the name “Abu Yahya”! My motive behind the post was to expose the treachery of some of the callers to Islam in the west, and their deviation from the straight path. The problem is I can’t seem to see my post, but I did find this:
     (@Abu Ayrow as Somali:
     Abu Yahya’s Six Easy Steps for Defeating al-Qaeda

     Maybe this is just a simmple misunderstanding, or maybe you were referring to another Abu Yahya.
     @Abu Ayrow as Somali, can you please help me in making sense of this Jazaka-lau-khairan!
     I guess one of the down sides to internet chat rooms and blogs is that people can easily be misunderstood, or taken out of context!
     May Allah (swt) guide us all and except our humble efforts!!!

     If you from the states then you are familiar with the current economic crisis first hand. So the brother wants to do his part in helping the economy collapse insha’Allah by not spending. But I agree with your statement that we are not jews alhamdulillah and that we should spend in moderation.
     .
     I would also advice the brothers and sisters to listen Ali Tamimi lecture regarding this great fitnah posted by brother Abu Hassan post 374.

     @ Abu Ayrow as Somali akhii I am Somali and thanks for expanding on the topic. Akhii we seem to be like minded, bi’d nillah we will meet on day.

     Alhamdulillah that you enjoyed the lecture of Sheikh Ali Timimi (May Allah hasten his release). It kind of good not well know that lecture, I looking for a lecture or a Sheikh to on this topic of SALAFIS IN THE UK for years. I honestly thought that the Salafi masjid was a mainstream mosque popular to the youth, because they give almost all their lecture and Friday Prayer sermon in English, no wonder a lot of the youth go there.

     .

     http://www.kalamullah.com/ali-timimi.html

     .

     As I have never heard of Madaakhilah dawah before, I did a quick research and found a summary of a book published by at-Tibyan Publications entitled: “The Deviation of The Madkhalee ‘Salafiyyah published by at-Tibyan Publications”. I have only copied two points from the website, because these two point where the criteria in which I was totally confused. Brother I kept asking myself how an average Muslims, whether knowledgeable or not could make such statements and believe in it.

     .

     According to book published by at-Tibyan Publications, The Madkhalee ‘Salafiyyah belief:

     • That major Walaa’ (alliance/friendship) with the Kuffaar is not major Kufr, unless the person internalizes a Kufr intention, such as wishing to aid the religion of Kufr, or to destroy Allaah’s Religion, etc. So if one were to lead the crusade against Islaam, head it, support it by wealth and blood, he would still be a Muslim, until he pronounces the internalized intentions of Kufr. So they do not make the act itself Kufr, until this innovated condition is proven.

     • Believing that Jihaad cannot be Fard ‘Ayn upon the whole Ummah. Also, related to Jihaad, is believing that Jihaad is not permissible without an Islaamic state whose Imaam directs it. Believing Jihaad to be forbidden without the permission of the Imaam. All of this is regarding defensive Jihaad.

     Source: http://almuwahideen.blogspot.com/

     .

     Anyone who reads the above two point would not belief that any Sunni Muslims would NOT belief in this. In my pervious comment (374), I talked about how I was talking to a group of Somali brothers that study at the Salafi masjid. I asked them about whether the War in Somalia (2006) was Jihaad or not. A simple question, yet I got a bizarre answer. They said: “Akhii it is fitna not Jihaad, when we start to practise our religion and go back to the pure region, the way the Salaf use to practice it, everything will be better, Allah is punching us by the means of a tyrant ruler”.

     .

     I was shocked I could have added a few words by saying: was Jihaad not a practiced by the Salafu-Salih? But in fact I was so astonished that I could not say anything. It was the most bizarre answer I had ever heard. And the thing is I asked him this in private, the brother was also well known to me. It was in the Era of the Islamic Courts Union, because everyone was talking about Somalia back then in the summer of 2006.

     .

     But what I did not realise was that these young brothers where mimicking what their Sheikh said and kept telling me how great it is that they have a selected committee of scholars somewhere in the Arabian peninsula, which give fatwa. Like I said I did not understand anything they were saying, I was attracted to their masjid because they were like the one of the few masaajid in my area, which had free Aqeedah lesson, Arabic lessons and much more. Likewise I noticed that a lot of Somali brothers where “relocated” to the Salafi masijd just like I did. Alhamdulillah it only took me a few months to realise to see trough this whole “Salafi appeal.” I remember that my brother use to say: “Don’t you wonder how it comes that they give themselves the title of the Salafu-Salih, by calling themselves Salafi and praising their Sheikhs, while make Takfeer on many other Sheikh, most of whom are English speakers.

     .

     Wallahi it was a big fitna for me and a lot of other brothers. The fitna got to a stage that we collectively as a group of young Muslims where so confused, that we when over to a well know Sheikh, asking him to give us some naseeha. This particular Sheikh was definitely a favourite Sheikh to all the youths at the mosque.

     .

     I cannot remember his exact words but the content of this advice could be described as: “Our brothers have a selected committee of scholars, where they can direct their enquiries, whether it is big or small.” There can only go to this group of scholars, when they are confused or seek guidance on matter of the religion. Now to give a parable of what this means; it like saying when two students of maths disagree on a topic or a matter of maths. One of them says we have to go to this particular professor of maths, which teaches at this particular university. His companion asks him why do we have to go to this particular professor that you have selected. How come we cannot go to any professor of maths, as long as his knowledge is credible; i.e. as long as he has a maths degree, or proves to be good mathematician.

     .

     I understood the parable the Sheikh gave us only months later. He also acknowledged that a lot of the youths are lured to their masaajid. I am not trying to say that the Salafi masjid is haram or anything. I realised that they only stick to their own masjid and advice the Muslims not to go to the “so and so” masjid, not “that one either” nor “this one”. Eventually out of all the masjid in my area the Salafi masjid is left over by this reason.

     .

     Brothers and Sister only Allah knows what will happen to the Sheikhs that advice the youth to sit down and not to worry. To them there is not a single land of Jihaad and Jihaad is not permissible without an Islaamic state whose Imaam directs it. So I ask every simple minded muslims, what is the Islaamic state and who is the Imaam. Is this not pure “rhetoric” and “jesters” to evade the responsibility of Jihaad? Let them evade it as much as they want, my concern lies with the youth that is under their care and only Allah knows what will be the end of these “Green Zone Scholars”.

     Dear Brothers and Sisters
     Salaam alaikum

     Here is short transcript written from the lecture entitled: “Hero Of Islam – Imam Bukhari Part 5/7”

     .

     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVbT6aqB1g0&feature=related

     .

     I don’t know the name of the lectures, masha-Allah, he got some nice lectures on “The Hero Of Islam”, ranging from Umar Ibn Khattab to Sallahu-Deen
     From 4 minutes and 42 seconds until 8 minutes and 33 seconds.

     .

     One of the famous quotes from Imam Bukhari in a firm way he said:

     “Allah is not going to punish me for backbiting or talking about people”.

     .

     This guy is righteous and this guy in not righteous. This guy you can accept his hadeeth, this guy you can’t. This guy was a shia’a, you cannot accept his hadeeth. This guy was sinner you cannot accept his hadeeth and this guy is pious you can accept it. While this guy was mentally insane you can’t accept his hadeeth.

     .

     How could you say that al Bukhari when you got masses of books, in which you talk about people? And the scholar described what he said and this is a good thing for those that love to refute.

     .

     You know ‘huh’ (laughing); a giant like this [Imam Bukhari] shuts them up!!! Actually this puts a shoe in their mouths, those people who want to refute, ALL THEY WANNA DO IS REFUTE. Wallahi guys, Wallahi guys, Wallahi guys, WALLAH, WHALLAH, THEY CAN NOT EVEN SAY bismillah al rahman al rahim RIGHT. A brother is gonna refute “this guy”, he, he is a Khawarij; he is Hisbi.

     .

     THEY CAN’T EVEN PRONOUNCE THE WORD HISBI, where did you get this from (lauging)??? They wanna refute, they are 2 DAYS IN ISLAM, and want to REFUTE.

     .

     Learn from Bukhari, the one whose job it was to refute. Do you know what he is, they said by the meaning of his word and you know by the way this hisbi and all this junk and Khawarji or all these guys became so BIG THAT THEY FUTE THEMSELVES. The guys where in themselves and that’s all they were!

     .

     Knowledge? No knowledge. Ignorance? Yes ignorance. They can’t say WALLAH, WALLAHI, I met people they can’t even say ASHADU AN LA ILLAHA ILLALLAH WA ANNA MUHAMMADA RASUL LA LAH in the appropriate pronunciation. And they say by the way he is a Hisbi, he is Kow-waraji (incorrect pronunciation), Ko-warji. What is Kow-warji brother? You know these guys are ignorant, these guys are ignorant. These guys should be shun, these guys are not from the path of the Shabah (radiallahu an). LEARN FROM THE PATH OF THE SAHABAH, for this matter here is in SAHIH AL BUKHARI. The one who wrote Sahih Bukhari, you know what he said, when he said “Allah will not charge me for backbiting anyone”. They [scholars] said that he meant, if look into this book, when he talked about a liar, a deviant liar. Do you know what he [Bukhari] said about him sometimes? He questions his credibility, his credibility is questioned. He said his credibility is question; why not say a word about them, so we know about them. But Bukhari wants to hint the Ummah, watch out from this guy and he want to do it in right way. Did he say, oooh I listen to this tape of this guy. Out of the 500 tapes, he pulled out 1 tape in which he found a weak hadith. HAHAHAHAHHAHA (lecturer laughing) you this is this guy, this is their job.

     .

     Be worried out learning, refuting? Leave that for the scholars, this none of your business. The scholar said the meaning of this word is that he is a liar, a deviant liar, someon who is deviant, a liar. He [Bukhari] says he is questioned, his creditability is questioned. What he puts there is his credibility is question, you see how unique that is, and you see how fearful of Allah he is??? You see that he is sure that he can stand before Allah.

     .

     You know one time, another thing that happened to him, scholars like this all always tested. By bombs, and stupid people; why not shoot down theses scholars. One time he entered a town; no one came up to him and a group, a small group gathered around him. Then someone who was jealous of him told everybody “this guy doesn’t even know how to pray”. So he said, so Bukhari said: “I don’t know how to pray?” They told him yes. Then Bukhari said: “Wallahi if he comes here, I will give him 10.000 hadiths on prayer alone.” Right now, I will give him 10.000 ahadith on prayer alone. You know (laughing), when a person memorises one hadith on prayer alone, he would think that to be good. He said let him come here I will give ten thousand hadith on prayer alone.

     .

     I am not here to spreading their opinion but for everyone to undestand this fitna clearly, below is a link to a video on youtube, entitled: Islam Against Terrorism (Dawah Salafiyya) 1/3.

     The orginal title is even worse: “Do True Muslims Condemn Terrorism?”. The use of the word “true” in this sencentece must be an antonym.

     I cannot comment on it just check it out and it will reinforce your opinion on the previous comments.

     Video description: “People of west complain the islamic scholars don’t speak up against terrorism. But is it true? Do scholars speak up against suicide bombing? is media willing to give them AIRTIME to the scholars? I am not hopeful, but i present this speech of Abu Khadeejah Abdul Wahid regarding islamic position against terrorism and regarding islamic ruling on suicide bombing. May Allah guide the muslims to the right path.”

     Bismillah

     as salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah

     A parable of the sheep. Once upon a time there was a flock of sheep who were led by a shepherd. Everyday the shepherd would take them out to graze on the fields and they would be happy going baa baa baa and eating the grass they were fed on.

     Then one day one of the sheep not content with following the flock went to the top of the hill and he saw (he could have been a girl sheep as well) on the other side of the hill luscious pastures and green long grass. This sheep went back down to the rest of the sheep and told them;”Hey, look over this hill is a big valley full of lovely green long grass why don’t we all go over the hill and enjoy what is there.

     The rest of the sheep said, “baa baa baa we have a shepherd who knows better than us and we have to follow him as he as more knowledge about what is good for us”.

     This loan sheep was upset and angry as he knew that what he saw was real and the truth and while he and the rest of the sheep wandered around aimlessly on scraps of dry grass there was better on the other side. As the days passed he became more estranged from the group as he knew that it was better to feed on the other side.

     One day not able to take anymore he told the rest of the sheep,”look I’m going to talk to the shepherd and ask him why we can’t feed on the other side. The other sheep berated him saying our shepherd has more knowledge than you and we should just do as sheep do and follow him, baa, baa baa! and be happy with that. If you cause too much trouble they might take you from the flock and slaughter you so be happy with what you have got……..

     The sheep thought for sometime then he said to himself, “I am a sheep and I know that the grass on the other side of this hill is better for me than what I am being fed now. Therefore, I’m going to ask the shepherd why we are here taking from this small pasture when there is a huge beautiful pasture on the other side. He approached the shepherd and said, “Hey shepherd do you know what is on the other side of the hill (the shepherd was a little stunned as sheep were supposed to talk! just go baa baa baa and not speak or ask awkward questions).

     The shepherd when he had recovered from his shock said, “Yes a beautiful green pasture with flowing rivers and it gives life to those who eat from it”.

     The sheep then asked, “Why are we eating from this side which has little grass hardly any water and we are all so thin.

     The shepherd replied, “You see I am told by someone else where I can and can’t graze you and if I take you to the other side I will loose my wages and my job.
     Now, the best thing you can do is go back to being a sheep say baa, baa, baa and eat what we give you otherwise if the owner finds out you will be slaughtered for trouble causing so be a good sheep and go back and join the flock.

     Days and weeks went by and the sheep went around with the other sheep but all the time he longed to be on the other side. Then one day his heart could no longer take it and so he prepared himself to make the journey and run away to the other side. His heart was filled with happiness as he knew the truth, but he still wanted to take the other sheep with him. However, they turned away and they refused to listen to him. Finally with deep regret for the others he left……….

     The story doesn’t end there…When he arrived safely on the other side after many days journey he found many other sheep there and they welcomed him with open arms (legs in the case of sheep) they said to him we were just like you, but we found a way out and now we know the truth about why they didn’t want us to come here to feed in this valley, because this valley is the valley of truth and the food we eat gives us knowledge on how not to be sheep and even our shepherds let us roam around freely but offer us guidance so we don’t stray too far from this lush nutritional pasture.

     Those who have read the earlier posts may understand the morale of this story if you don’t then blog me and I will give you it……..

     many of us say we want to make hijrah or whatnot yet we do not prepare. just like how many of us have been saying we want to memorize the qur’an for the past 10 – 100 yrs and still there hasnt been a step taken towards this righteous path, and this is why you will not see results. you will keep saying it till how many yrs pass? you say you want to do, but do not take a step! when you strive in the path of Allah swt, Allah swt will help you as He swt has promised (29:70)and many other verses.

     ofcource no one is saying do not spend in the way of Allah swt by giving sadaqa, this is one of the qualities of a believer. what is being said is not to spend on things that you really do not need and save that money fisabilillah so you may fulfil the obligations of Allah swt. take a step towards fulfilling ur obligations given to you by our Rabb Jalalah, and insha Allah you will see results and Allah awj will help you! – our intentions count always

     subhan Allah we will all be asked about EVERY penny we spent!

     i like the “as if i eat” story – it is truely an inspiration. and saving fisabilillah does not mean one is tight and Allah swt knows each one’s intention.

     .
     Response by a Kafar
     .
     Saudi Salafism a Stronger Force in Islamist Militancy than Recanting Clerics
     .
     By Michael Scheuer
     .
     “The recantations making a splash in the Western media are part of a bigger project conducted by several Arab states—led by Saudi Arabia—to make the United States and its allies believe Islamism’s strength is ebbing. Their campaign is made easier, of course, because the West desperately wants to believe such claims. The Arab regimes, in fact, built a cottage industry of recanting; earlier in this decade, Riyadh ran television shows featuring recanting jihadi clerics that earned the mocking name of “the series of repentance” (alhanein.com, November 25, 2007). Today, the Libyan regime is about to join the recanting caravan. Saudi-controlled media in Europe, for example, are publishing teasers about the coming renunciation of “armed violence” by the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group—long an al-Qaeda ally. Its now slickly groomed spokesman, Nu’man bin Uthman, says the group’s imprisoned leaders will soon publicly oppose violence (Al-Sharq al-Awsat, July 7).
     .
     Beyond recanting clerics, the Saudis, the Egyptians, and the Yemenis have trumpeted “re-education programs” they are running to “rehabilitate” captured Islamist fighters, while incarcerated, right-thinking, regime-paid clerics tell the former mujahideen that “religious deviants” led them astray and are taught regime-approved interpretations of Islam. They are also prepared to reenter society with classes in trades, art and music. This program of what the West might call “tough love” is being hailed by Riyadh, Cairo, and Sana as a success, these claims meshing with the West’s faith in reforming flawed human beings by therapy [1]. There are suspicions that re-educated graduates are released on condition they go to Iraq or Afghanistan to fight infidels, which was the method the Saudi and other Arab regimes used to unload firebrands during anti-Soviet jihad.
     .
     Finally, Riyadh has gone the extra mile to apply soothing eyewash to Western eyes by having its clerical hirelings claim—Quranically speaking—that black is white, as well as by engaging in a startling ecumenicalism: “Aggressions against Muslims and occupation of [their] land,” the kingdom’s Grand Mufti, Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al al-Sheikh, said in July, “cannot be a justification for explosions…” Later in his statement, the Grand Mufti let slip the main point of his message, which was to protect the al-Saud family, not the West. “Obeying the Muslim ruler without sedition,” al-Sheikh said, “is a basic principle of Muslims who follow the path of the Prophet” (Reuters, July 3).
     .
     Later, Riyadh had the senior religious bureaucrat Shaykh Saleh al-Laheedan, chairman of the Saudi Arabian Supreme Judiciary Council, attack bin Laden: “Osama is a preacher of evil,” said Shaykh al-Laheedan. “If a man performs prayers in [the] night and then disobeys the rulers of his country, how can he be a good man? No doubt, such people are sinners.” Again, this cleric’s main message was that the Sauds must be obeyed (Gulf News, July 10).”
     .
     But the Madaakhilah are so blind to see truth because this kafar could see it like black and white subhan’Alalh.

     Asalam-alaikum my dear and blessed brothers and sisters, Bismillah…
     May Allah make us of those who gain knowledge, and apply it in our lives…

     @Abu Hassan, jazak’Allah for your post on the honorable and blessed shaykh Usamah ibnladen..
     @Um Umar, Jazak’Allah for the post on Khashi’in,
     Subhan’Allah! these two words: Khashi’in and Usamah-ibnladen go hand in hand, All praise be to Allah, this man knows the true meaning of Khushu, wallah – everytime i read about him my heart melts, the noor on his face… the passion in his voice, the love of Allah, the fear of Allah, the respect and honour he holds for the Sunnah and Shariah, his al-wala and al-bara all indicates his humbleness and khushu in-the-way-of-Allah!

     Allahuma barik alaihi…

     “It is only Satan that suggests to you the fear of his allies. So, do not fear them, and
     fear Me if you are believers.” al-Imran 175

     These are great times and situations where Allah is testing His slaves in order to purify their
     ranks and distinguish the good from the wicked….

     Whenever i read about our great Sahabah the likes of AbuBakr,Umar,Uthamn,Ali,Saad,Hamza,Bilal,khaleed,(R.A) to name a few… I keep thinking about the fact that nobody of today can ever reach the ranks of the Sahabah, But I believe that thier are men who are following the blessed Sahabah footstep by footstep, of them is our blessed Usamah ibne laden, What a Man of wisdom, What a soldier, What a Mujaahid,…
     Whenever i read Qu’an and the chapters about the day of judgement ‘on a Day that will make the children grey-headed’ Subhan’Allah,… our shaykh has been Striving fi-sabil-illah since he was a youth and is still fighting-in-Allah’s-Cause at an old age grey headed… Allah! A true Sunni following our Beloved and Mujaahid Prohet Muhammadur-Rasoolullah (SAWS)….

     Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah [i.e. they have gone out for Jihad (holy fighting), and showed not their backs to the disbelievers], of them some have fulfilled their obligations (i.e. have been martyred), and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed [i.e.they never proved treacherous to their covenant which they concluded with Allah] in the least. surah al-Ahzab -23.

     The whole world is ganged up against him, the kufaar from east to west, including the apostate goverments, and the evil green zone scholars, everybody hates him and is fighting him,…. But still he is loved by many!
     He is of those who do not fear the blame of the blamers…
     A man who left the blessed Arabian peninsula, left medinah, left his wealth and work, left his wife, and chidren and all his luxuries, only to earn the pleasure and laughter of Allah Ta’ala!

     I pray every day to the creator of the universe (SWT) to bless Usamah ibne laden and imam Anwar al Awlaki and their likes and May Allah Ta’ala protect them… and give them a ultimate place in Jannat-ul-firdous flying in Paradise in the bodies of green birds…

     “Think not of those as dead who are killed in the way of
     Allaah. Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision. He said, ‘We asked the
     Messenger ofAllaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) the same question and he said, Their souls are
     inside green birds that have lamps, which are hanging below the Throne (of Allaah), and they wander
     about in Paradise wherever they wish. Then they return to those lamps. Allaah looks at them and says,
     ‘Do you wish for anything?’ They say, ‘What more could we wish for, while we go wherever we wish
     in Paradise?’ Allaah asked them this question thrice, and when they realize that He will keep asking
     them until they give an answer, they say, ‘O Lord! We wish that our souls be returned to our bodies so
     that we are killed in Your cause again.’ Allaah knew that they did not have any other wish, so they
     were left.’” Sahih Muslim.

     As Allah Ta’ala decsends every night:
     Our Lord – Blessed and Exalted is He! – descends every night to the lowest heaven in the last third of the night and says: Who is supplicating Me so that I may answer him? Who is asking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?

     I ask Allah for his protection from lazyness, from habul-duniya, from attachment to this world, and the fear of death, i ask Allah to not make us of those who only talk but of those who are about action and sacrifice,… i ask Allah to forgive me…

     “Allah already knows those among you who keep back (men) from fighting in Allah’s Cause, and those who say to their brethren “Come here towards us,” while they (themselves) come not to the battle except a little.”
     surah al-Ahzab- ayah 18

     I ask Allah Ta’ala we can meet Him (SWT) on the day of Meeting in the best of ways….

     Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) said that Allah, the Exalted, observed: If My slave loves meeting Me, I too love meeting him. If he dislikes to meet Me, I too hate to meet him. Bukhari

     ‘He who loves to meet Allah (swt)by way of death like martyrs Allah too loves to meet him’

     Alhumduillah we are safe from yet another plot of the disbelievers, they don’t concern me as much as the inaction of the muslims in our community and all communities, this is what really troubles me and hurts me, that someone has the ability to support the weak and neglected but only satifies his own desires, ego, nafs, to be seen to be doing something but in reality doing the bare minimum, while being praised by similar like minded [muslims] Muslims by name but truley clinging to the illusions of life. And these are the ones incharge of anything Islamic now , its all for the ego and the perks of office ,not for the Pleasure of Allah /// We are in the Time of Turmoil
     @Abu Hassan what you said is true about the salafi Jamiah, I used to call them the selfish jamiah looks like there actually doing something as of 15 years ago they were just a mens club good for eating talking and no action, they enjoy the sour fruits of compromising their deen and enjoying the good life. May Allah guide us all. Allah can change the hearts Khayr insha”Allah , I think you find that as Allah has guided you here Allah will guide others but I know its very disappionting when you see the reality and you warn others but they blindly follow what their already on.Some muslims must suffer for years before they wake up.
     Your last post sounds very confusing if I was to take it on face value I’d say , the Pro Jihadist Sheikh are fighting all the enermies of Islam who are the only Terrorist, but I only know to well what that statement implies I will read it insha”Allah I have a thousand things to read , may I never lose my eye sight please Allah. There is a exercise for the eyes from Ibn kathir I read it once , especially for those now living in cities That when you wake , first you go and look to the Horizen look as far as you can , this strengthens the eyes and should be started when young Its Islamic Medicine , The only medicine I trust.

     @ ummuasma that quote by Shiehk Anwar of Al Qayyim” Take from every garden the best flower ” is so beautiful I only just saw in a dream a woman in a green garden with tall shady trees carrying a white rose like flower without thorns that was a bigger than a mans head I looked at her and said Hey I wanted that flower then I looked behind her and saw even bigger more beautiful flowers , so I new I hadn’t missed out. Sabhan Allah is not Allah the most intriguing.

     @ Abu Zubair As Somali may Allah accept your duah, unity without action will not happen so we must make action I know there are some young sisters here who want to marry and who know other sisters who want to marry and we did talk about this before if you remember @ Brother Al Khuasani, you did approve such a set up.Im only too happy to handle the sisters side as no one else did volunteer but we need a more mature brother of Taqwa to handle the brothers side and ofcourse it must be done following the sunnah Of Rasul saws) as close as possible under these circumstances, one thing I don’t know is if Admin will give out Email add ] if we give permission , if so , can I ask a brother to volunteer his time for a righteous cause
     Ill remind everyone that this path must be tread with caution, care and the upmost Taqwa amd the base the right intention,as we don’t want to cause any difficulty to a fellow believer.

     In Pursuit of allah’s Pleasure……. Our Walaa…..

     Allah instructed the believers to protect, love support and assist one another , that is in other words to be Awliyya of one another . They stand a solid structure, their feelings, thoughts, principle, aims Aqeeda methods traditions and habits united. The believers are one group or sect, with only the love and loyalty of Allah and His Messenger in their hearts.
     This is the unifying tie and real bond. All others ties other than that of Aqeedah, be it a tie of blood and kinship, homeland and countries, tribe and folk, colour and lanuage are Jahill ties All these are bonds of ignorance that should be placed under the feet of Islam.

     @ abu hassan, the name of the lecturer for Heros of Islam-Imam Bukhari is the imprisoned shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril.He and his father were one of the true duaat of Michigan(deaborn) and were arrested a few years ago.Imam Ahmad was sentenced to 7 years i think and his father shaykh Musa(fukallahu asrahumaah) was sentenced to 6.May Allah free them both and give the highest status.Its a karama from Allah azawajal that a father and his son are arrested for calling to Allah.

     @ Maryam,

     I do not mean neglect Sunnah, but I should have said that, al-hamdulilah for the advice. For example if you smell bad and water does not cut it, use soap. However, there are certain things which are higher obligations than to spend moderately. With my situation and many others on here, spending moderately winds up being a fitnah wear we have no money ourselves. I am happier than ever al-hamdulilah. Insha’Allah my living conditions are still nicer than they would have been 50 years ago even if I was fairly well-off.

     If you cut these things I have mentioned, insha’Allah you will find ways of compensating which are free. It also teaches you not to waste insha’Allah. The people of luxury are the ones who most want to stay behind when the call to fight is heard.

     Most of the money I would receive goes toward school, housing, and food. I only get to save that little bit which I cut out. I am in a situation where such things compose of most of my budget, so cutting them out allows me to save. I know that some brothers on here are in similar situations with tight budgets. Those who do not have a tight budget should be somewhere other than where they are. If you do not need to save money to leave, then you should have left by now.

     The only reason I am here is the money insha’Allah. We need to reevaluate our priorities and actually take steps. For me and many others, what I have listed is necessary. Another thing which is necessary is for people to be preparing themselves physically. I know plenty of people who talk but do not act. If everyone who talked about fighting actually tried to, the lands would be flooded with mujahideen. It might not even be an obligation due to the numbers insha’Allah. I do not mean to be harsh, but I have run into a lot of people who watch jihad nasheeds, listen to lectures by this gem of an Imam masha’Allah, and talk about fighting kuffar all day long. I was one of such people, and anything I say is directed at myself first.

     I do not know how to stress to people that they actually take action in this. No more blog-only mujahideen. Some of the mujahideen wear all-white, because they seek martyrdom and want to die in their finest clothes. Other mujahideen sit behind computers all day, wear pajamas, and do nothing but dream about their duties. It is time to wake up.

     Muslim children are executed by Israeli soldiers, Muslim women are raped by Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Muslim men are humiliated in the prisons of the crusaders. Wake up! Put words into action. “We hear and we obey.” Not, “We hear and then discuss a little, think about obeying, and then discuss some more until we enter the grave.” Wake up O Muslim! Wake up!

     Insha’Allah I am not accusing you personally Maryam. I just took the opportunity to make a statement to everyone insha’Allah.

     @Zakariya “Muslim children are executed by Israeli soldiers, Muslim women are raped by Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Muslim men are humiliated in the prisons of the crusaders. Wake up! Put words into action. “We hear and we obey.” Not, “We hear and then discuss a little, think about obeying, and then discuss some more until we enter the grave.” Wake up O Muslim! Wake up!”

     This is a very good point which a lot of people overlook. In our Br. Awlaki’s series on Jihad he talks about this. There are a lot of brothers and sisters who have the intention to go do jihad, but all they do is talk about their intentions and never go through with it. A very powerful statement is “You die based on your favorite deed.” Meaning the one who loved doing Qiyyam will inshallah die during his Qiyyam, the one who loved to fast and always did fast will die fasting, the one who loved to fornicate will die fornicating (may Allah (swt) protect us) and so on. The army that gives victory to Islam by the will of Allah (swt) has been shown in history to be very small (12,000 – 15,000). There are 1.7ish billion Muslims in the world. Allah (swt) will choose the most deserving and best Muslims to attain the victory. If you don’t start working for this now then when will you ever start? Intention is only half of what’s needed, the other half is based on your effort (and after Allah’s(swt) will).
     Every one of us would have loved to be one of the sahaabah. Imagine being to people who started Islam, who gave the very first and greatest victory to Islam. What an honor for them. Wallahi one of the most painful, if not the most painful thing I’ve ever heard was “the reason we weren’t one of the sahaabah was because we’re not good enough.” It sucks we couldn’t be one of them, but Allah (swt) knows best. However, with the way things are now and all the minor signs that have occurred and are occurring, it shows us that we have a chance at being part of the 2nd best group of Muslims, the ones who give the FINAL victory of Islam. You could be part of the group who brings the ENTIRE WORLD under Islam’s rule with Isa (as) being our khalifah. That’s a huge honor. So what are you willing to do for this brothers and sisters? Are you going to wait and hope it comes to you, or are you going to go finding it?

     I ask Allah (swt) to make us among those who are part of the victory of Islam. Ameen.

I am sure a good brother in this site is ready to take upon the task inshallah in the brother side. I wanted to know where do the sisters reside? (in the states) Also, I also wanted to know if the Admin would allow us to give out our emails? As brothers living in America, Marriage takes care of alot of the Fitna that is available in this country. So as a brother I am looking for a strong sister that would complete my Deen Inshallah.

     First of Allah jazakaAllah Shaykh Anwar.

     To everyone else: MashaAllah comments however how many of you know the book of Allah (swt) by heart from cover to cover? Spend more time with the book of Allah and less time on the computer.

     Word of advice…men are made in the battle field, not behind a computer screen. Memorize the book of Allah, study islam, work towards making hijrah fisabelillah. Like my husband told me we need to physically, mentally, and spiritually prepare ourselves.

     I too need to follow my advice. May Allah (swt) grant us shahadah.

     THE SCHOLARS SAY: memorize the Qur’an before anything else!

     “As for seeking to memorise the Qur‘an, then this is to be given preference over many of the things that the people consider to be knowledge, but are – in reality – either totally useless, or having little benefit. It is also to be given precedence in learning especially by those who wish to acquire knowledge of the Deen, its principles and its particulars. Since what is prescribed for such a person at this time is that he should begin by memorising the Qur‘an, as it is the foundation of the branches of the knowledge of the Deen. This is contrary to what is done by many of the people of innovation from the non-Arabs and other than them, in that one of them will pre-occupy himself with superfluous parts of knowledge; such as kalaam (rhetorical speech) and argumentation; or very rare matters of differences; and blind-following; which there is no need for; or very strange and rare ahadeeth, which are not established, nor of benefit; and many discussions which do not establish proofs. And he abandons memorising the Qur‘an which is more important than all of this.” [1]

     “I heard my grandfather say: I asked my father for permission to study under Qutaybah so he said: “First learn the Qur‘an and then I will give you permission.” So I memorised the Qur‘an by heart. So he said to me: “Remain until you have led the people in prayer with it (i.e for Taraweeh Prayer).” So I did so, then after the ‘Eed he gave me permission, so I left for Marw.” [2]“So the first thing he should begin with is memorisation of the mighty Qur‘an, which is the most important branches of knowledge. And the Salaf did not use to teach Hadeeth or Fiqh, except to one who memorised the Qur‘an. So when he has memorised it, then let him beware of pre-occupying himself from it with Hadeeth, Fiqh or other things, to the extent that it leads him to forget anything of the Qur‘an, or makes that likely.” [3]

     SALAM,
     I agree that these women should not have been drinking in the first place. But I myself would kill anyone who has raped ANY muslim sister whether he is a convert, american or not, in america or out of america all he has to be is in my reach. People like these in our world need to be made an example of over and over until all of them are dead and know MUSLIMS will not stand for this, and not only muslims in afganistan or palestine but any and every Muslim will kill them if they or any muslim is persicuted against.
     WASSALAM

     @surahtawbahverse5 – jazakillahu khaira for the nasiha as well the “reminder” verse 5 tawbah.
     it is true that a lot of the scholars before learning anything else started with the qur’an then were able to teach others.
     i also heard some sahabah used to read the quran before they went to the field so their eyes saw last the words of Allah ta3ala.
     preparation = no time for settelement – time for movement

     fardh ayn is fardh ayn including for sisters alhamdu lillah.

     We are already [ following your advice ] and the plog is a part of that.
     Allah make our paths smooth and easy to His Obediance give us the ability to make Hijrah with our dependants to join the ranks of the warriors and be the supporters of the Mujahideen and the weak and oppressed, as time is limited we must make haste

     um i didnt quite have time to read through all the 400 comments, so excuse me if i am stating something that someone before me already has, but I would not consider the women as being muslim. i acknowledge that your point was to state the standing of the americans, but if the women drink, or even consider going to a party held by a man, where they would know that there are drinks, then they are only seducing themselves as bait. drinking has been forbidden. Allahualam if they are muslims or not as well i cannot say that, but i would not belive them to be just like i wont believe the next person i see with a beer bottle in their hands claiming they are muslims.

     To rachida o:
     .
     Our dear Imam Anwar has answered your question and other similar questions here:
     .

     “I would like to take this opportunity to point out an important principle in Islam and that is: Islam is a comprehensive religion that covers all aspects of our life and every Islamic teaching is important.
     When one understands the wisdom behind the comprehensiveness of the teachings of Islam nothing is trivial anymore. When we understand that every moment in our lives, every movement, and every act should be for the sake of Allah we appreciate the reason why Rasulullah taught us about everything.
     The problem is not in talking about the sunnah in matters that one may assume to be trivial but the problem is when one talks about the beard to the exclusion of Tawhid, wearing the clothes above the ankle to the exclusion of Jihad, or the miswak to the exclusion of wala and bara.
     On the other hand, it is even a more serious problem when people occupy themselves with the mustahab ( the recommended) and ignore the major issues, some of which are issues of aqeedah. There are some that escape from the responsibilities that demand sacrifice to the safety of the easy rituals. We need to take Islam as a whole. We should follow Quran and the way of Rasulullah in all matters.”

     Religion is a concept made up by man to excert authority and to gan power. There is no god so you have all wasted the only chance you had to enjoy your life. Instead you are full of hate and bias. I will have a drink of alcohol tonight and have fun, you will not.

     Assalamu 3leikum Br. Anwar,

     I am so sorry to hear this story. It really makes me want to cry.

     Yes, I do agree that all Muslim countries are corrupt. Their leaders, whether scholar, kings, sultans, amirs, presidents or prime ministers are interested in personal gain and do not care what happens to their people (brothers & sisters in Islam).

     HOWEVER . . . . . . . . . my dear brother, you are spreading hate by calling for Allah to destroy them. Our beloved, loving, gentle prophet (sA3ws) would never utter such horrible supplication onto his enemies. Even ahl Taif were spared because of his hope that one of them might be righteous among them.

     I’m saddened to hear you speak like this and pray that this site is not your site because my family and I have gained a lot of knowledge and iman by listening to your lectures.

     What is so “Muslim” about those two muslim women. Drinking alcohol and partying doesn’t make you a muslim. These rapes do not fall under the category of “Muslim women raped”.

436. Observer says:

     True, I really don’t see what’s so Muslim about these individuals.
