    Assalamu alaikum Shaykh,

    I would very much like to ask you if there is such a thing as copyright in islam. To be specific, I am referring to important islamic lectures that are available free online but it’s producers say that they have not given permission for people to listen to them even though they are so widely available online?

    Jazak Allahu khairan

    Unconventional weapons used against Gazans:

    Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:43:01 GMT

    Norwegian Doctor Mads Gilbert
    Doctor Mads Gilbert is a member of a Norwegian triage medical team present in the besieged Gaza Strip. The team has exposed that Israel has used depleted uranium weapons in its war on the impoverished territory which is home to 1.5 million Palestinians. He described the conditions inside Gaza in an exclusive Press TV interview.

    Press TV: What can you tell about the uranium findings?

    Dr. Mads Gilbert:The findings about the uranium I cannot tell you much about, but I can tell you that we have clear evidence that the Israelis are using a new type of very high explosive weapons which are called Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME) and are made out of a tungsten alloy.

    These weapons have an enormous power to explode.

    The power of the explosion dissipates very quickly and the strength does not travel long, maybe 10 meters, but those humans who are hit by this explosion, this pressure wave are cut in pieces.

    This was first used in Lebanon in 2006, it was used here in Gaza in 2006 and the injuries that we see in Shifa [Hospital] now, many many of them I suspect and we all suspect are the effect of DIME weapons used by the Israelis.

    On the long term, these weapons will have a cancer effect on those who survive. They will develop cancer we suspect. There has been very little research on this but some research has been among other places in the United States, which show that these weapons have a high tendency to develop cancer. So they kill and those who survive risk having cancer.

    Press TV: And what do you have to say about this?

    Dr. Mads Gilbert:All that is happening in Gaza here now is against international law, it is against humanity and I think it is against what it means to be a decent person. You don’t treat other people like this. Even if you disagree with him… maybe even if you fight with them, you don’t treat civilians, children and women like this.

    And I have an appeal to the Israeli doctors and nurses. They are my colleagues. We belong to the same international community, the medical community. I wish that the good doctors and nurses in Israel tell their government to stop these atrocities. We cannot continue with this. We may differ in opinions, but you cannot treat the civilian Palestinian population in Gaza in this way.

    Today, they were bombing in Gaza City; we received 150 wounded and more than 50 killed.

    Press TV: Only at Shifa?!

    Dr. Mads Gilbert:Yes, here in Shifa. I treated a ten-year-old boy. He had his whole chest filled with fragments from the bomb. On his lap was another person’s leg that had been cut off. We resuscitated him and did everything we could do to save his life but he died between our hands.

    This is such a terrible experience and behind the numbers that you report all the time, there are human beings, families, women, grandmothers, children. That is in fact the reality in this situation. Those who are paying the price for the Israeli bombardments now are the common people, the Palestinian people.

    Half of the population in Palestine are below 15 years and 80 percent of the people in Gaza live below the level of poverty defined by the UN. Now they don’t have food, they don’t have electricity. It’s cold they don’t have warmth and in addition to that, they are killed.

    This must be stopped.

    Press TV How many people did you see that are effected by this weapon?

    Dr. Mads Gilbert: Almost all of the patients we have received have these sever amputations. They seem to have been affected by this kind of weapon. Of course, we have many fragment injuries and burns but those who have got their limbs cut off, constitutes quite a large proportion.

    You know we have a lot to do. Palestinian doctors, nurses and paramedics do an incredibly heroic job to save their people. Doctor Eric and I are just a small drip in the ocean, but we learn from them. Unfortunately, we don’t have the time to do research, we have to save lives, but this question should be researched by the international community.

24. Jameel says:
    January 5, 2009 - الاثنين 09 محرم 1430 at 7:05 pm

    Dr. Mads Gilbert: Yes, here in Shifa. I treated a ten-year-old boy. He had his whole chest filled with fragments from the bomb. On his lap was another person’s leg that had been cut off. We resuscitated him and did everything we could do to save his life but he died between our hands.

    My heart goes out to the Palestinian people whose suffering knows no end… and the Palestinian fighters whose bravery never fails to astonish me in the face of such adversity. There will never be peace as long as Israel exists, it is an affront against humanity. Israel, the USA, and the UK, are the scourge of the human race. Muslims and non-Muslims must oppose these deceitful zionist dogs who profit from war and human suffering. May God Bless you all.

    44 Ways of Supporting Jihad

    By Anwar al Awlaki

    Jihad is the greatest deed in Islam and the salvation of the ummah is in practicing it. In times like these, when Muslim lands are occupied by the kuffar, when the jails of tyrants are full of Muslim POWs, when the rule of the law of Allah is absent from this world and when Islam is being attacked in order to uproot it, Jihad becomes obligatory on every Muslim. Jihad must be practiced by the child even if the parents refuse, by the wife even if the husband objects and by the one indebt even if the lender disagrees.
    Dear brothers and sisters the issue is urgent since today our enemy is neither a nation nor a race. It is a system of kufr with global reach. The kuffar today are conspiring against us like never before. So could we be heading towards the great battle between the Romans and the Muslims – Al Malhamah – which the Prophet (saaws) spoke about?
    Again, the point needs to be stressed: Jihad today is obligatory on every capable Muslim. So as a Muslim who wants to please Allah it is your duty to find ways to practice it and support it. Following are 43 ways for the brothers and sisters to support Jihad fi sabeelillah:

    1. Having the right intention
    You must make the intentions of joining the ranks of the mujahideen. The Messenger of Allah says: “Whoever dies and has not fought or intended to fight has died on a branch of hypocrisy” (Related by Muslim)
    A sign that an intention of a person is true is whether they are preparing for Jihad or not. Allah says: “And if they had intended to go forth, they would have prepared for it” (9:46).
    The conditions for Jihad al Dafi’ (the defensive Jihad) are five as stated by scholars such as Abu Qudamah: Islam, puberty, sanity, financial ability, and to be free of physical disabilities. If a person lacks the financial ability and doesn’t find anyone to finance him or suffers from an illness or a disability that excuses him from Jihad then a sign of the true intention of such a person is that he is sad that he is exempted from Jihad. Allah says about the ones who could not afford the expenses of joining in the battle of Tabuk: “Nor [is there blame] upon the those who, when they came to you that you might give them mounts, you said, “I can find nothing for you to ride upon.” They turned back while there eyes overflowed with tears out of grief that they could not find something to spend [for the cause of Allah]” (9-92)

    2. Praying to Allah to award you with martyrdom
    The Messenger (saaws) says: “Whoever sincerely asks Allah to award him with martyrdom would be given the rewards of martyrs even if he dies on his bed” (Related by Muslim)
    Asking Allah to die as a shaheed pleases Allah because it shows him that you are willing to give your life for him. But you need to be careful not to be merely paying lip service. A person who truly asks for shahadah would respond to the call of Jihad whenever he hears it and would eagerly search for death in the path of Allah.
    The reason why the enemies of Allah succeeded in defeating some Muslims and taking over their land is because they have lost their love for martyrdom. The Messenger of Allah (saaws) says: Nations will attack you like a group of people eating from a plate. The sahabah said: “Is that because we will be few in numbers?” He said: “No, you will be numerous but you will be like the foam of the sea, and Allah will take away from the hearts of your enemies the fear from you and Allah will cast in your hearts “wahan”” They said: “What is “wahan” O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “The love of this world and the hatred of death” (Related by Abu Dawud).
    Our culture of martyrdom needs to be revived because the enemy of Allah fears nothing more than our love of death.

    3. Jihad with your wealth
    The financial Jihad has preceded the physical Jihad in every verse except one. This is to point out to us the importance of the Jihad of wealth because Jihad depends on it. In other words, no money no Jihad, and Jihad needs lots of it. That is why according to Al Qurtubi in his tafseer he states that the reward for money given as Sadaqah is multiplied by ten, but the reward for money spent in Jihad is multiplied by 700!
    Allah says: “The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills” (2:261)
    Probably the most important contribution the Muslims of the West could do for Jihad is making Jihad with their wealth since in many cases the mujahideen are in need of money more than they are in need of men. As Sheikh Abdullah Azzam puts it: “Men are in need of Jihad and Jihad is in need of money”

    4. Fundraising for the mujahideen
    In addition to paying from your own money you should also encourage others to do the same. Rasulullah says: “The one who guides others towards a good deed would receive rewards equal to those who practice it.” By fundraising for the mujahideen you are also fulfilling a sunnah of Rasulullah (saaws) which he would often practice before going out for a battle.

    5. Financing a Mujahid
    Rasulullah (saaws) says: “Whoever sponsors a fighter in the cause of Allah has fought” (Majma’ al Zawa’id)
    This includes all the expenses of the mujahid including his travel expenses. This gives a chance for the rich and the poor to receive the rewards of Jihad, the poor by fighting and the rich by sponsoring them.

    6. Taking care of the family of a Mujahid
    Taking care of the family of the mujahid could be by protecting them, tending to their needs, providing them with financial assistance and protecting their honor.
    The Messenger of Allah (saaws) says:
    • Anyone of you who takes care of the family and wealth of a mujahid will receive half the reward of the mujahid (Muslim)
    • The duty towards protecting the honor of the wives of the mujahideen on the ones who stay behind is like their duty towards protecting the honor of their mothers. If a person who stays behind promises to take care of the wife of a mujahid but then betrays him, on the Day of Judgment the mujahid will be told that this man betrayed you so take whatever you want from his good deeds. So he will take whatever he likes. (Muslim)
    • Whoever does not fight, sponsor a fighter, or take care of the family of a fighter, will be afflicted with a disaster before he dies. (Abu Dawud)
    If a person fears for the safety of his family, Shaytan can take advantage of that and prevent that person from going to Jihad. Even if such a person disobeys Shaytan and does go to Jihad, Shaytan can come to him and weaken his heart by whispering to him about the loved ones he left behind. Therefore, taking care of the families of the mujahideen would help their morale and that is why Islam devoted this attention to taking care of the family and wealth of the mujahideen.

    7. Sponsoring the family of a shaheed
    The shaheed has fought for Islam and Muslims. He gave up his life for me and you. Therefore the families of the shaheeds need to be honored and served.
    When Ja’far bin Abi Talib was killed in the battle of Mu’tah, the Messenger of Allah (saaws) told his wives: “Prepare food for the family of Ja’far because they are preoccupied with their affair” and he visited Ja’far’s house. (Related by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmithi). Imam Ahmad narrates that when the Messenger of Allah received the news of the martyrdom of Ja’far he visited his house and asked Ja’far’s wife to bring the children. When they came to him he hugged them and kissed them while his eyes were shedding tears. Asma – the wife of Ja’far – said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah (saaws) if something has happened” He said: “Yes, Ja’far was killed today” Asma said: “When I heard that I started crying and screaming. Then the Messenger of Allah (saaws) left and told his wives: “Don’t forget to prepare food for the family of Ja’far because their affair has overwhelmed them””
    The children of the shaheed need to find in the men of the ummah the care of their father. The wife of the shaheed should be given the opportunity of remarrying if she has the desire to. This requires two cultural changes. First: The Muslim society needs to change its negative view regarding the divorced and widowed woman. Unfortunately, today men avoid women who are divorcees or widows. This stigma attached to our divorced and widowed sisters needs to be overcome. Second: The Muslim society today is very intolerant towards polygamy – which becomes a social necessity especially in times of war. So isn’t it unfair to deprive millions of Muslim sisters from the blessings of marriage?
    No woman in the time of the sahabah was left without a husband – a partner who would take care of her psychological, physical and financial needs.
    When Ja’far died Abu Bakr married his wife and took care of her children.

    8. Sponsoring the families of the prisoners of war
    Taking care of the family of a prisoner is equal in reward to taking care of the family of a mujahid. It is extremely important for such a practice to become the norm so that in the future when our brothers go out in the path of Allah they would know that if they die or if they are captured their families would be taken care of.

    9. Paying your zakah to the mujahideen
    The distribution of zakah is restricted to eight categories: “Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [Zakah] and for bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the [stranded] traveler” (9:60)
    In the cause of Allah “fi sabeelillah” refers to the mujahideen. The Maliki jurist Abu Bakr bin al Arabi states: “Malik says: “The causes of Allah are many, but there is no difference of opinion that “in the cause of Allah” here (in the verse) refers to fighting”
    Imam al Nawawi states in al Minhaaj when talking about the spending of zakah: “The fighter in the path of Allah is given what he needs to cover his expenses and the expenses of his family from the time he leaves until the time he comes back, even if he is absent for a long time”
    Today not a lot of people pay their zakah to the mujahideen. But if Muslims would rid themselves from the whispering of Shaytan they would come to realize that the best way to spend their zakah nowadays is by giving it to the mujahideen because the Messenger of Allah (saaws) says: “Charity cannot be given to a wealthy person except in five situations” The Messenger of Allah (saaws) listed one of them as: “The fighter in the cause of Allah” (Related by Abu Dawud). Now if zakah can be paid to the mujahideen even if they are rich what about when the mujahideen of today fulfill four out of the eight categories of zakah: They are poor, they are in need, they are wayfarers and they are the ones in the cause of Allah!
    So pay your zakah to the mujahideen and encourage others to do the same.

    10. Contributing to the medical needs of the mujahideen
    The mujahideen are in great need of any medical assistance they can get. They need physicians, they need hospitals and clinics that would open their doors to them and they need medicine. There are hundreds of thousands of Muslim physicians and nevertheless we hear many stories of injured mujahideen who suffered from simple wounds but because of the absence of medical help they had to suffer in agony until they died. Those Muslims who studied medicine and claim that they are doing it for the sake of Allah and to benefit the Muslims, we say to them: Where are you?
    It is said that Khattaab – the great Muslim commander in Chechnya – was injured in a battle and his brothers found no Muslim doctor to take care of him so they had to take him to the Red Cross and have them treat him under gun point!
    Muslim health care workers have a great responsibility and their contribution to Jihad is indispensable. In fact their rewards could be even greater than those of the fighters.

    11. Providing Moral support and encouragement for the mujahideen
    When the mujahideen hear Imams making dua for them, scholars giving fatwas supporting them and the Muslim masses praising them, this boosts their moral and gives them the strength to carry on. However, we find that many Muslims betray their brothers by speaking against them. We see scholars issuing fatwas in support of the apostate governments in their fight against the mujahideen. One should not underestimate the detrimental effect such betrayal has on the mujahideen.

    12. Defending the mujahideen and standing up for them
    The Messenger of Allah (saaws) says: “Whoever protects the reputation of his brother, Allah will protect his face from Hell Fire on the Day of Judgment” (Related by al Tirmithi)
    He also says: “Any person who betrays a Muslim whose sanctity is being violated and reputation is being dishonored, Allah will betray him when he is in need of help and any person who protects a Muslim whose sanctity is being violated and reputation is being dishonored, Allah will assist him when he is in need of help” (Related by Abu Dawud)
    It is therefore our Islamic duty to stand up for the ones who are defending us and our religion. As a rule of thumb, we should never side by word or deed against our brothers in Islam especially the ones who have given up their lives for Islam and we should never side by word or deed with the disbelievers who are the enemies of our most beloved, Allah subhanahu wa ta’aala.
    And if one cannot speak the truth then at least they should remain silent.

    13. Fighting the lies of the Western Media
    The perceptions of many Muslims are formed by the Western media. Allah says: “O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one (fasiq) with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful” (49:6)
    So what about when the news is coming from a kafir rather than a fasiq?!
    The danger of the Western media stems from the fact that it puts on the cloak of truth and objectivity when in reality it is no more than the mouthpiece of the devil. Can’t you see that the Western media is constantly trying to underplay the atrocities committed by the West while exaggerating the violations – which are few and far in between – committed by Muslims? Can’t you see how the Western media succeeded in presenting the awlyaa’ (friends) of Allah, the ones who are fighting in His cause, as the followers of evil, while it presents the Pharaoh of this day and his armies as the army of good? The Western media is so good in its deception that its lies pass on a wide section of the Muslim ummah.
    The fact is that this media demonizes the mujahideen, spreads lies about them, blows out of proportion their mistakes, tries to sow the seeds of disunity amongst them, attempts to ruin the reputations of their leaders, and ignores or demonizes the scholars of truth when on the other hand, it glorifies and promotes the scholars of falsehood.
    So my dear brothers and sisters part of your duty is to campaign amongst Muslims to raise their awareness regarding this issue. You should encourage them to be careful and critical of the Western media. A Muslim should not believe Western sources unless they are confirmed by a trustworthy Muslim one. I say a “trustworthy” Muslim source because the verse was warning us from accepting the news of a disobeying Muslim. Now that is not to say that we should not believe the media in anything it says even in its weather forecasts! No, what we are saying is that you should not believe what they say about Islam and Muslims. A media source that could otherwise be very objective and truthful could become a fabricator when it comes to covering news on Muslims. That is how the disbelievers dealt with Muslims since the dawn of history…and there is no reason for us to believe why that would change.

    14. Exposing the hypocrites
    The hypocrites represented a great danger to the Muslim community during the time of the Prophet, and they still do. The Messenger of Allah would fight them by exposing their lies. If the battle with the kuffar was primarily a battle of swords, the battle against the hypocrites was primarily a battle of words. Since the hypocrites hide behind the cloak of religion to spread their poisonous ideas, the way to fight them is by revealing the truth and exposing their lies. Your weapon against them is Quran and Sunnah.
    Some of these hypocrites could be very charismatic. They could appear to be very impressive, but they are fake. Allah says: “And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. They are as if they were pieces of wood propped up – they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?” (63:4)
    The fake scholars and deviant ideologies need to be exposed for what they are.

    15. Encouraging others to fight Jihad
    Inviting others to do good is an encouraged act of worship since it falls under enjoining good and forbidding evil. In addition to that, encouraging others to participate in Jihad was an act of worship we were specifically asked to do.
    Allah says: “O Prophet, urge the believers to battle.” (8:65) and He says: “So fight, [O Muhammad], in the cause of Allah; you are not held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers [to join you] that perhaps Allah will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. And Allah is greater in might and stronger in [exemplary] punishment.” (4:84)

    16. Protecting the mujahideen and preserving their secrets
    We need to guard our tongues. Sometimes you could end up endangering your brothers unwillingly by your words. A Muslim should develop the habit of being able to keep secrets. We have an incident from seerah where a sahabi refused to tell his own wife about a secret mentioned to him by the Messenger of Allah. Sometimes you want to protect the secrets from the closest people to you: your wife, parents, children and brothers, because they might be the most vulnerable. A Muslim should learn to not say more than what needs to be said, to work on a “need to know basis”. A lot of Jihad work is secret and clandestine by nature. Therefore, brothers and sisters should be very careful with their words. A lot of harm was inflicted on Jihad work because of otherwise good and sincere brothers who had loose tongues.
    The enemies of Allah will try to recruit Muslims to infiltrate Islamic work. They will tell them that we are doing this to protect the Muslims. They may carry along with them scholars who would approve that. Part of your role in protecting the mujahideen is by warning the Muslim community that spying on a Muslim for a non-Muslim is nothing less than kufr.
    Allah says: “And whoever is an ally of them among you – then indeed, he is one of them.” (5:51)

    17. Praying for the mujahideen
    Never underestimate the power of a sincere dua’.
    The Messenger of Allah (saaws) says: “This ummah is given victory through the weak among them, through their dua’, prayers and sincerity”. Make dua for them in your sujood since that is when you are closest to Allah.
    An important form of dua that needs to be performed is dua al Qunoot in salah. Encourage Imams to perform it when things get tough on the mujahideen. This is the Sunnah of Rasulullah.
    Prior to one of the battles, the leader of the Muslim army asked his soldiers to see what Muhammad bin Wasi’ (one of the great worshipers of the early Muslims) was doing. They came back saying that we saw him raising his finger and making dua. The leader of the army said: “That finger making dua to Allah is more beloved to me than a thousand men!”

    18. Following the news of Jihad and spreading it
    Following the news of Jihad and the mujahideen is important because
    • It keeps your attachment to Jihad alive.
    • It strengthens your belongingness to the ummah.
    • It encourages you to join Jihad when you see the heroic acts of the mujahideen. It kindles your desire for martyrdom when you see the courage of martyrs.
    • Those who follow the news of the mujahideen will see how Allah is protecting his servants and guiding them towards victory. They will see how the ummah is heading towards the era of Islam under the leadership of: “al Ta’ifah al Mansoorah” mentioned in the hadiths of Rasulullah (saaws).
    • Reading history or Fiqh books on Jihad provides you with the theory. Following the news of the mujahideen provides you with practical examples of how our brothers are applying the theory in today’s world. It provides you with something tangible, something real.
    • The news of Jihad is the news of the conflict between good and evil which has existed since the time of Adam and will continue until the end of time. Following the developments of this conflict brings Quran into light. When you read Quran with this awareness you would have a more engaged relationship with the book of Allah than a person who is living in the seclusion of his ivory tower. This engagement with the book of Allah reaches its height when you yourself are engaged in this conflict by joining the ranks of the mujahideen.
    I need to repeat what I mentioned in point 13 that you should only spread authentic information from authentic sources. Because spreading rumors is an attribute of the hypocrites: Allah says: “And when there comes to them something [information] about public security or fear, they spread it around. But if they had referred it back to the Messenger or to those of authority among them, then the ones who [can] draw correct conclusions from it would have known about it.” (4:83)

    19. Spreading the writings of the mujahideen and their scholars
    Unfortunately we hear some Muslims claiming that the mujahideen lack scholars who support them and they lack a clear strategy and that what the mujahideen are doing is spontaneous and reactionary. Such claims are the furthest from the truth. There are plenty of scholars and strategic thinkers who are supporters of Jihad today. The problem is that because they are on the true path most of them are killed, jailed or forced to go underground. Nevertheless there is still an abundance of material supporting Jihad work and offering strategies for it. In fact the writings of the scholars of Jihad tend to be the most deeply rooted in sharia because they speak it out as it is, which means they do not need to get involved in ignoring any sharia evidence, twisting sharia texts, and searching for odd opinions as some others may do. The scholars of the mujahideen made it clear that they fear no one but Allah and are willing to displease anyone if that pleases him. They refer to Quran and hadith and quote the scholars of the ummah such as Ibn Hajar, al Nawawi, al Qurtubi, ibn Kathir, ibn Taymiyyah, and the four Imams. They have nothing to hide or conceal. This makes their works the most clear and the most convincing. To counter the fact that no publishers or media outlets are willing to risk sponsoring their works, it falls upon the mujahideen and their sympathizers to do that work. It is therefore our responsibility to spread their knowledge. Some ways in which you could contribute:
    • Handing out books and pamphlets to your friends and family.
    • Posting material online
    • Setting up websites that publish such works
    • Guiding others towards such websites.
    • Email lists
    • Placing such information in masjids
    • Distributing such material in gatherings
    • Holding private circles in which these writings are studied

    20. The issuance of fatwas supporting the mujahideen
    There are scholars who are willing to speak out the truth. Such scholars should be encouraged to do so and brothers should support these scholars and let them know that they would stand by them. The fatwas of these scholars should be widely distributed to the masses. There are many young brothers and sisters who agree with the methodology of the mujahideen but they are not willing to fully embrace it until they see scholars approving this methodology. At the end of the day the masses are followers and they would like to see scholars guiding them.

    21. Providing the scholars and Imams with information and news about the mujahideen
    Just because a person is a scholar doesn’t mean he knows everything. In fact there is a tendency for people who are specialists in a particular field to ignore, and thus become ignorant, of other fields. Scholars and Imams need to be provided with good material. In my conversations with many scholars – some of whom are on a world class level – I was amazed at their lack of knowledge regarding the mujahideen. They lack information on where the mujahideen stand on issues, their publications and their news. The enemies of Islam know the influence that Muslim scholars have on the ummah. Therefore they give scholars special attention. The enemies of Islam would love to see our scholars debating and fighting over trivial issues in order to divert their attention from the real issues that are facing the ummah.
    What the brothers and sisters alike can do is to influence the scholars, because by influencing the views of one scholar you could change the views of thousands of Muslims. Provide the scholar with carefully chosen material to read. In the beginning you should give them concise material. Remember scholars tend to be very busy and have a lot of material on their table to read so you need to follow up with them on whether they read what you gave them or not. Discuss with them issues covered in what they read, and discuss it with them as a student and not as an opponent. Avoid confronting them with controversial questions because their fear or cautiousness could cause them to give you a watered down opinion which they might not sincerely believe in and then try to stand by it and defend it just because they said it. Suggest to Imams issues to discuss in Friday khutbahs and provide them with information that could be used in the khutbahs.

    22. Physical fitness

    The Messenger of Allah (saaws) says: “The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer and there is good in both” (Related by Muslim)
    Physical fitness is part of the preparation for Jihad. What Jihad needs is not body builders. What Jihad needs is mujahideen who have the ability to walk for long hours, to run for long distances (important for guerrilla warfare), to sprint (important for urban warfare), and to climb mountains. The mujahid needs to be able to perform all of the afore-mentioned while carrying a weight. In Jihad lands such as Bosnia and Chechnya unfit brothers represented a burden on the mujahideen because they would slow down the whole group. Also the unfit can more easily fall in the hands of the enemy. So endurance exercises should take precedence over exercise for strength and flexibility.
    Even if a Muslim is not going to fight, physical fitness is still important. For example, a fit person can withstand prison and torture more than a person who is not.
    The early Muslims were fit since they led a military lifestyle. The companion Amr bin al Aas who opened Egypt in the time of Umar and was appointed as its governor used to say in Jumu’ah khutbah: “I don’t want to see any one of you gaining weight while your horse is losing weight. If I see that I will reduce your salaries accordingly”
    So dear brothers, exercising with the right intention is an act of worship. Our sisters are not exempt from this. They also need to be fit and the Muslim community needs to work out halal alternatives for the sisters to exercise.

    23. Arms training
    Preparing for Jihad is obligatory since Jihad today is obligatory and the sharia rule states that: “Whatever is needed for an obligatory act becomes obligatory”
    Arms training is an essential part of preparation for Jihad.
    Allah says: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you don’t know but Allah knows” (8:60) The Messenger of Allah (saaws) said regarding this verse: “Power is marksmanship, power is marksmanship” (Related by Muslim)
    The issue is so critical that if arms training is not possible in your country then it is worth the time and money to travel to another country to train if you can.

    24. First aid training
    In many situations the mujahideen have no access to hospitals. In such situations first aid becomes the only available option. In addition to first aid brothers and sisters need to get any medical training that would be relevant to the tough conditions of Jihad. This needs to be determined by brothers and sisters who are in the medical field in coordination with brothers who have an experience in Jihad.

    25. Learning the fiqh of Jihad
    Learning the fiqh of Jihad includes the fatwas of scholars regarding the issues that face the mujahideen today such as the ruling of Jihad today, rulings of dar-ul-Harb, the issue of civilians and collateral damage, the issue of the covenant of security with non-Muslim governments, fighting in the absence of an Imam, and the ruling on present governments in the Muslim world. It is equally important to study the virtues of Jihad
    One also needs to study the writings of scholars and thinkers who are charting out the course for today’s Jihad.

    26. Protecting the mujahideen and supporting them:
    Allah says:” Indeed, those who have believed and emigrated and fought with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allah, and those who gave shelter and aided – they are allies of one another.” (8:72)
    And He says: “But those who have believed and emigrated and fought in the cause of Allah and those who gave shelter and aided – It is they who are the believers, truly. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.” (8:74)
    When the mujahideen are in danger we need to offer them with protection. It is true that such a protection could be very costly but this is a sacrifice that we are offering for the sake of Allah. The Taliban paid the price for offering a safe haven for the foreign mujahideen: They lost their government. But that is not a defeat but a victory because in the eyes of Allah you have won, no matter what the worldly costs are, if you have held on firmly to your religion, and you have lost, no matter what the worldly gains are, if you have wavered in your religion.
    We should open our houses for the mujahideen among us and we should offer them with the support they need. Isn’t that precisely what awarded the Ansar the high status they have achieved?

    27. Developing the Aqeedah of Walaa’ and Baraa’
    The issue of loyalty towards Allah, His Messenger and the believers and the declaration of our animosity towards the disbelievers and their gods has not had its fair share of attention in Islamic circles. Allah says: “There has already been for you an excellent example in Ibrahim and those with him, when they said to their people, “Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone”” (60:5)
    Allah described the ones who fight in his path as being “Humble towards the believers, powerful against the disbelievers” (5:54) The mujahid should have a clear understanding of what it means to be loyal to Allah, His Messenger and the believers and declaring animosity towards the disbelievers. Ibn Taymiyyah states that: “You need to love the believer even if he wrongs you or oppresses you, and you need to dislike the disbeliever even if he is kind to you”.
    The hatred of kuffar is a central element of our military creed. We need to realize that Allah will not grant us victory as long as we still have some love towards his enemies in our hearts. The spiritual condition of total loyalty towards Allah and total animosity towards his enemies was a necessary precursor to the judgment of Allah between His prophets and their disbelieving nations. Never was victory attained by the Prophets of Allah and their people until their loyalty towards Allah was complete and their disassociation with the kuffar was complete.

    28. Fulfilling our responsibilities towards the Muslim POW
    Rasulullah (saaws) says” “And free the prisoner” (al Bukhari). Our scholars say that it is a duty on Muslims to free the POWs even if they have to expend all their money. Many mujahideen are forgotten, lingering in prison cells in every continent around the world. Not even the islands of the sea are spared. We need to raise the awareness of the ummah regarding their issue, keep them in our dua and fight for their release.

    29. WWW Jihad
    The internet has become a great medium for spreading the call of Jihad and following the news of the mujahideen. Some ways in which the brothers and sisters could be “internet mujahideen” is by contributing in one or more of the following ways:
    • Establishing discussion forums that offer a free, uncensored medium for posting information relating to Jihad.
    • Establishing email lists to share information with interested brothers and sisters.
    • Posting or emailing Jihad literature and news.
    • Setting up websites to cover specific areas of Jihad, such as: mujahideen news, Muslim POWs, and Jihad literature.

    30. Raising our children on the love of Jihad and the mujahideen
    Our children need to be raised up with the love of Jihad and the mujahideen. The stories we narrate to them need to stem from our rich Jihad history. We should have them grow up with Ali bin Abi Talib, Khalid bin al Waleed, Abu Ubaidah, Sad bin Abi Waqqas, Muhammad al Fatih, Muhammad bin al Qasim and Salahudin. Their role models should be the heroes of today’s Jihad. On the other hand they should learn to despise Pharaoh, Qaroon, and Abu Jahl as well as today’s Pharaohs, Qaroons and Abu Jahls. Our children should not be taught to “stay away from trouble and be a good boy” but to “do the right thing even if it’s going to get you in trouble”. They need to be taught to be proactive rather than passive. Al Zubair bin al Awam – one of the ten given the glad tidings of Paradise – used to take with him to the battlefield his son Abdullah when he was still a child. But since Abdullah was still a child and therefore couldn’t fight, his father would have him carry a small knife and go around the battlefield searching for injured disbelievers in order to finish them off. Abdullah then grew up to become one of the great fighters of this ummah.
    Even though the physical Jihad is primarily within the men’s domain, our sister still needs to live the “life of a mujahid” which her husband lives. She needs to be supportive of him if he goes for Jihad, content if he is a shaheed and patient if he is taken as a POW. A mujahid sister would be like the women of al Ansar. They saw that Islam was taking away their fathers, brothers, husbands and sons and they were still welcoming the muhajireen and opening their homes for them, spending their money on them when they knew very well the consequences of these actions.

    31. Avoiding the life of luxury
    Sheikh Abdullah Azzam used to say: “Luxury is the enemy of Jihad”. Jihad is difficult and demands sacrifice. Therefore avoiding the life of luxury removes some of the obstacles that may stand between a person and Jihad. You need to be able to sleep on the floor, eat food different than what your mother or wife cooks for you, use cold water for wudu or ghusl, and not mind being unable to take a shower everyday. A brother who aspires to be a mujahid should be able to control his desires and to disobey his nafs. On should train himself to get used to breaking some habits such as his sleeping and eating habits by praying qiyam ul layl and fasting on Mondays and Thursdays. A true mujahid should be able to give up all attachments to this world for the sake of Allah.

    32. Learning skills that would benefit the mujahideen
    The field of Jihad is wide and it demands many skills. The brothers and sisters need to learn these skills and then use them to serve Islam. I emphasize on using them to serve “Islam” because we hear a lot about Muslims claiming that the reason why they are studying and pursuing degrees is to serve Allah but in the end they end up serving their pockets and selfish desires.

    33. Joining groups that work for Jihad
    Collective work is an obligation on Muslims today because the application of the law of Allah – which is an obligation – cannot return without a jama’ah (a group). But there are plenty of groups working for Islam so which one should you join?
    Since Jihad is the greatest deed after believing in Allah and is the most needed – yet most neglected – act of worship today, it is necessary for you to join a group that has Jihad as its main objective. Every Islamic group that does not work for Jihad is deficient to say the least. That is because from the time Jihad was prescribed after the hijrah of the Messenger of Allah (saaws), the jama’ah that the sahabah were members of always had Jihad as its primary focus. That was true in the time of Rasulullah (saaws), Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali and Mu’awiyah. Seerah documents nineteen battles in which the Messenger himself joined and 55 which he sent out. All within a span of ten years! The same can be said about the righteous Khulafa’ after him.

    34. Spiritual preparation
    The defeat of Muslims is not due to the strength of the enemy but is due to the weakness of the Muslims. Allah says: “And whatever strikes you of disaster – it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much” (42:30)
    Therefore, spiritual preparation is needed for any difficult religious duty. Because the Messenger of Allah (saaws) was going to carry a heavy burden, Allah told him to prepare himself spiritually: “O you who wraps himself [in clothing]. Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little – Half of it – or subtract from it a little. Or add to it, and recite Quran with measured recitation. Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.” (73:1-5)
    Since Jihad is one of the heaviest commands of Allah, it needs lots of preparation.

    35. Guiding others to the scholars of truth
    We need to be aware that we are living in a time when scholars can be “made”. The enemies of Islam through their control of the media and Muslim governments can promote certain figures who they deem as representing a benign form of Islam and consequently, turn them into celebrities. An appointment of a scholar to the post of grand mufti in a particular Muslim country could turn that person into a world class scholar instantly. Arranging for a scholar to have a program on TV or radio makes that scholar famous. On the other hand the scholars of truth are threatened, jailed, and killed. The media ignores them so not many people know them. So does this make them less knowledgeable than the government scholars? The truth is that the scholars who speak out are the most knowledgeable scholars simply because they recognized the truth and proclaimed it.
    It is therefore the responsibility of our brothers and sisters to guide others towards them.

    36. Preparing for Hijrah
    Muslims living amongst non-Muslims have put themselves at the mercy of the kuffar. When the Islamic state was established in Madinah the Messenger of Allah (saaws) declared it illegal to live amongst the disbelievers. Muslims should therefore prepare themselves to leave when the opportunity arises. Preparation for hijrah is not restricted to Muslims living in non-Muslim countries but applies to every Muslim because more often than not Jihad in its self demands hijrah. That is why the Messenger of Allah (saaws) said: “Hijrah does not stop as long as there is an enemy to fight” (Narrated by Ahmad)

    37. Giving naseehah to the mujahideen
    The mujahideen make mistakes and have shortcomings and need to be given naseehah. You can deliver the naseehah directly to them, you can send it, and you can post it on the internet; whatever way you choose, make sure that you are doing it for the sake of Allah and not to be critical of your brothers.
    The naseehah not only includes pointing their shortcomings but also suggesting to them new ideas and warning them of danger.

    38. Studying the hadiths of fitan
    The hadiths of fitan (plural of fitnah) are the hadiths in which the Messenger of Allah (saaws) spoke about events that would happen to his ummah after him. The word fitnah means “trials”. Studying the hadiths of fitan is important for the following reasons:
    • There is an abundance of hadiths in this category which indicates its importance.
    • The speeches of the Messenger of Allah (saaws) were concise and short. However it is narrated that once the Messenger of Allah (saaws) spoke to some companions continuously from fajr until Isha with no breaks except for salah. What was the topic? The trials that would befall this ummah from the time of his death until the end of time. If this topic wasn’t important why would Rasulullah (saaws) speak about it for an entire day?
    • The sahabah were interested in knowing about fitan and would ask the Messenger of Allah (saaws) about how to protect themselves from them.

    There are great benefits for the mujahideen in learning and teaching the hadiths of fitan:
    • The most important benefit is to learn how to protect one’s self from failing in the trails.
    • The Muslim gets a general understanding of where the ummah is heading and how it would achieve victory.
    • Jihad plays a major role in the history of this ummah. Learning about the hadiths of fitan puts Jihad in its proper perspective. The greatest two leaders of this ummah in the end of time will be men of Jihad: al Mahdi and Isa the son of Mariam.
    • The hadiths of fitan clearly reveal that the ascension of this ummah to victory will not be through elections or peaceful dawah, but through fighting in the path of Allah.
    • Studying the hadiths of fitan and seeing the role Jihad plays clears the vision of a Muslim and encourages him to join the ranks of the mujahideen.

    39. Exposing Pharaoh and his magicians.
    The current governments of the Muslim world are playing the role of Pharaoh with Musa and the court scholars are playing the role of the magicians of Pharaoh in deceiving the masses. The governments and their court scholars are the third side of the triangle of enemies of the ummah alongside the Crusaders and the Zionists.

    40. Nasheeds:
    Muslims need to be inspired to practice Jihad. In the time of Rasulullah (saaws) he had poets who would use their poetry to inspire the Muslims and demoralize the disbelievers. Today nasheed can play that role. A good nasheed can spread so widely it can reach to an audience that you could not reach through a lecture or a book. Nasheeds are especially inspiring to the youth, who are the foundation of Jihad in every age and time. Nasheeds are an important element in creating a “Jihad culture”. Nasheeds are abundant in Arabic but scarce in English. Hence it is important for talented poets and talented singers to take up this responsibility. The nasheeds can cover topics such as: Martyrdom, Jihad is our only solution, support of the mujahideen, support of the present day leaders of Jihad (to connect the youth to them), the situation of the Ummah, the responsibility of the youth, the victory of Islam and defending the religion. The nasheeds should focus on Justice rather than peace and strength rather than weakness. The nasheeds should be strong and uplifting and not apologetic and feminine.

    41. Boycotting the economy of the enemy.
    When Thumama bin Athaal became Muslim he boycotted Quraish by preventing the caravans carrying wheat to Makkah from passing through his land. Today Muslims should boycott the economies of the enemy by boycotting their products.

    42. Learning Arabic:
    Arabic is the international language of Jihad. Most of the Jihad literature is available only in Arabic and publishers are not willing to take the risk of translating it. The only ones who are spending the money and time translating Jihad literature are the Western intelligence services…and too bad, they would not be willing to share it with you. Arabic also happens to be the predominant language of the foreign mujahideen in every land of Jihad so without it you might end up talking to yourself. It is important for the mujahideen to able to communicate through a common language and Arabic is the proper candidate.

    43. Translating Jihad literature into other languages
    As I stated in the previous point most of the Jihad literature is in Arabic. Brothers and sisters who speak a foreign language in addition to Arabic should translate the most important works into their languages.
    Every movement of change is preceded first by an intellectual change. It is said that the time of Salahudeen was preceded by an upsurge in writings about Jihad. We are seeing this happen today. This revival of Jihad needs to take place among Muslims of every tongue.

    44. Teaching others about the characteristics of al Ta’ifah al Mansoorah.
    The Messenger of Allah (saaws) says: A group of my ummah would continue fighting, obeying the command of Allah, defeating their enemies and they would not be harmed by those who are against them until the hour starts (the Day of Judgment)” (Related by al Hakim and he stated that the hadith is authentic)
    This is the victorious group which each one of us should strive to join. You can recognize this group by their attributes which are as follows:
    • They are a “group”: They work collectively and cooperate for the cause of good.
    • “Fighting”: This is a key feature of this group. This characteristic alone would eliminate many of the groups working for Islam today.
    • “They are not harmed by those who disagree with them”: This is because they have Allah on their side. I heard an English nasheed and even though the singer was a male but the voice and content was so feminine it gives you nausea. All what he was singing In another narration it says: “they are not harmed by those who betray them” which means that they would be betrayed by a lot of Muslims, yet, that won’t harm them.
    • “They are victorious”: Victory here doesn’t necessarily mean against their enemies in this world. It means that they would succeed in preserving the religion and fighting for it until they die and meet Allah. It means they will never give up, compromise, or falter in carrying on the banner of Islam.
    Teaching others about al Taifah al Mansoorah would help them find the truth.
    Any Muslim who has basic knowledge of Islam, common sense, is willing to give up taqlid (blind following) of groups or Shuyukh, and think objectively would easily recognize which groups represent these attributes today. These characteristics fit them like a glove.

    So brothers and sisters, these were some suggestions on how you can support Jihad in this day. These words don’t really mean much unless they are applied. So please apply as much as you can yourself and advise others to do the same.
    In the end, we ask Allah to guide us to the straight path and to make us of those who listen to the words and follow the best of them. We ask you O Allah to make us among the mujahideen and to grant us victory over your enemies. Ameen!

    Brothers and Sisters,

    Please join this group for hijrah help. Even if you are living in Darul Islam please help us share the basic information on your country to those who want to make Hijrah.

    If you are living in Darul Kufr you need to make Hijrah- a pre-requisite before Jihaad fee Sabeelillah.

    If you read Surah Nisah (mentioned below), Tawbah and other Surah’s where Jihad is mentioned you will see Hijrah is mentioned before Jihaad in the same Aayah. Hijrah come before Jihad.

    You need a yahoo e-mail then go to this group link and send me an e-mail by clicking join group and provide Anwar Al-Awlaki Blog as a clue in your message.

    Do not wait till tomorrow, it might not come.

    Then what is the matter with you that you are divided into two parties about the hypocrites? Allah has cast them back (to disbelief) because of what they have earned. Do you want to guide him whom Allah has made to go astray? And he whom Allah has made to go astray, you will never find for him any way (of guidance).

    They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliya (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allah (to Muhammad SAW). But if they turn back (from Islam), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliya (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them.

    Except those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. Had Allah willed, indeed He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you, and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then Allah has opened no way for you against them
    You will find others that wish to have security from you and security from their people. Every time they are sent back to temptation, they yield thereto. If they withdraw not from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them. In their case, We have provided you with a clear warrant against them.
    It is not for a believer to kill a believer except (that it be) by mistake, and whosoever kills a believer by mistake, (it is ordained that) he must set free a believing slave and a compensation (blood money, i.e Diya) be given to the deceaseds family, unless they remit it. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you and he was a believer; the freeing of a believing slave (is prescribed), and if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, compensation (blood money – Diya) must be paid to his family, and a believing slave must be freed. And whoso finds this (the penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two consecutive months in order to seek repentance from Allah. And Allah is Ever AllKnowing, AllWise.
    And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him.
    O you who believe! When you go (to fight) in the Cause of Allah, verify (the truth), and say not to anyone who greets you (by embracing Islam): “You are not a believer”; seeking the perishable goods of the worldly life. There are much more profits and booties with Allah. Even as he is now, so were you yourselves before till Allah conferred on you His Favours (i.e. guided you to Islam), therefore, be cautious in discrimination. Allah is Ever WellAware of what you do.

    Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame, etc.), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit (at home). Unto each, Allah has promised good (Paradise), but Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward;

    Degrees of (higher) grades from Him, and Forgiveness and Mercy. And Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful.

    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!

    This is heinous, barbaric and mindless cruelty on the part of Israel against our innocent Palestinian brethren.

    What we have seen is the gross impotency of Muslim government to safeguard the integrity of our fellow Muslims while the US et al continue to condone such barbarism.

    Also, for your references such atrocities are meted out to the Chechnyans (by Russia), the Kashmiris (by the Indian government) and the Xuighur Muslims (by the Chinese government) while Bush and Blair as you know have slaughtered two nations (Iraq and Afghanistan) and are now lining up Somalia.

    In Indian-occupied Kashmir since 1989 where 700,000 Indian soldiers have been posted 120,000 Kashmiri men, women and children have been murdered.

    In Palestine the murder of our brethren continues.

    It may interest you to know that the Israeli army and the Indian army work very closely together.

    January 5, 2009 - الاثنين 09 محرم 1430 at 11:28 pm

    what do u know about hamas other than what the israelis tell you? they just use it as an excuse….their main war is against islam..they’re afraid of it rulling the world and it will of course do so..therefore they’re trying to finish off as many muslims possible….and if hamas did fire the rockets (since that is the retaliation point they talk about with so much confidence)…do u know what truly made hamas do that??? well you should talk to a palestinian who has managed to escape from there due to having a foreign nationality.i did and subhanaallah the lady i talked to said that the israelis have let open wild hogs in some areas and some people have been eating grass and drinkin grass soup…these inside stories wont be captured easily while the israelis are there la ilaha illalAllah indeed!and they expect us to believe that they send in humanitarian aid inside gaza..yes probably with poison in it…. and dont u notice that the jews always use the same wordings..as if they’ve been trained!! they might think there playing the game very well but in the end ALLAH is with us and He will extinguish their fire! Victory is only for the True Believers! and Israel is bound to perish just like Falsehood is by its nature bound to perish!! in the end what we need to is the most visible thing and that is since the beginning of this war, only 5 israelis dead and 500 palestinians…and still look at the strength of the palestinians MASHALLAH! israelis are messing with the wrong people and they know they’ll lose and wont be able to wipe out Hamas despite the lack of weaponry they have and the amount of free tanks and everything else the israelis have…THEY NEVER WON IN HISTORY AND WILL NEVER WIN IN THE FUTURE INSHAALLAH! LONG LIVE JIHAD!!

    Assalamu alaykum Sheikh Anwar thank you for the knowledge that you have given us with your recent posts.

    Insha Allah I hope to implement in my own life as much as possible the instructions and guidance that you have given and pass that knowledge on to other muslims in my community.

    Today I read on press tv (From Press TV – http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=80725&sectionid=351020202) that US military officers from the Corps of Engineers had been stationed on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing in order to prevent “arms smuggling from illegal tunnels” by Palestinian fighters

    It is beyond my comprehension/understanding on how a muslim (country or individual) can see the suffering that is happening to fellow muslims, especially right in your own “neighborhood” and not do anything or be complicit to the suffering being imposed on them. It hurts my heart to see or even hear of the suffering and I am in the US, feeling frustrated and powerless to do anything (immediate or substantial) to help my fellow muslim brothers and sisters, so it is mind boggling that a large muslim population nearby (Egypt in this case, but Jordan could be included) seem unable or unwilling to put forth serious effort to assist the Palestinians (sp?).

    Basically, I am angry and sad at where we are and frustrated that we call ourselves an ummah, but rarely act as one.

    I will continue to pray for the uplifting of the suffering going on in Gaza and implement the advice you have given – 44 Ways of Supporting Jihad.

    Fi Sabillah,

    @MUHAMMAD
    i too was thinking of putting Qunute nazila for every one here. so here it is:

    Qunoot – e – Naazilah
    Dua for protection against Natural Disater, Plague and War.
    When the Muslims Community is afflicted with some hardship then Qunoot-E-Naazilah should be recited in the Fajr Salaat.

    Method: After the Ruku’ of the second rakaat, while standing in the position known as Qaumah, the Qunoot should be read in a voice lower in tone thatn when reciting the Qiraat. The Muqtadees should place their hands at the side and say Ameen at the proper juncture.
    Note: Women may also recite this dua softly.
    One may recite it as often as possible as a dua.

    http://www.kalamullah.com/Quran/The%20Qunoot%20Collection/Qunoot%20e%20Naazilah%20-%20Bonus/Qunoot-e-naazilah.doc

    Translation : O Allah, guide us aright along with those who have been rightly guided and grant us safety along with those that have been granted safety and support us along with those that have been supported and add Your Blessings to what You have given us and save us from the harmful effects of what You have ordained ( i.e. lest I should be wanting in cheerfully submitting to your Decrees) as You alone disposes and no one can dispose against You. Anyone who is under Your Protection cannot be lowered and anyone who is opposed by You cannot gain dignity; our Lord; You are full of blessings and Most High, we beg forgiveness from You and repent before You and may the blessings of Allah be showered on the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam). O Allah, forgive us and the believing men and women and Muslim men and women, unite their hearts with mutual love, set right their mutual affairs and help them against theirs and Your enemy. O Allah, let Your curse be on those unbelievers who prevent people from treading Your path, who reject Your prophets and fight Your chosen ones. O Allah, make difficult their plans, shake their feet and give them such punishment which is not turned away from a sinning people.

Do you want to guide him whom Allah has made to go astray? And he whom Allah has made to go astray, you will never find for him any way (of guidance).

    They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliya (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allah (to Muhammad SAW). But if they turn back (from Islam), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliya (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them.

    I have participated in Gazaa Demonstrations but I find it useless. I have spoken to Reuters and clarified that Isarel is a terrorist state and should be wiped off from our Muslim World. In Sha’ Allaah, I will be downloading your file and seek knowledge with regard to the principles of supporting al-Jihaad! What dazzled me is that some Shaykh of Arabia removed the fatwaa concerning about our stance to the current scenario in Feelistine and there he mentioned that al-Jihaad is very immportant yet how coward it is to find such an important fatwaa absent. You can read it here, after adding me in facebook:

    January 6, 2009 - الثلاثاء 10 محرم 1430 at 3:11 am

    From the cause of Ummah’s defeat:

    As a natural result of the immersion in the Dunyā and the luxury that exceeds the limit, the Muslims have abandoned Jihād, and they satisfied themselves with marching at the tails of other nations. And the Muslims have accepted what their enemies have called As-Salām (peace), when it is clearly Istislām (submission). The Muslims during the time of the Tattār did not understand, just as many of the Muslims in our time now do not understand, that the fundamental way to return the plundered rights of the Ummah is Jihād, and though peace may be the correct solution in certain circumstances, it cannot be the suggested choice if the rights of the Muslims have been looted, and if their blood is spilled, and if they are expelled from their lands, and if their Religion, their opinion, and their standing are mocked. The Muslims do not understand that peace comes only with the return of all their rights, and it is not made except when we are high and honored, and it cannot be unless we possess the sufficient deterrent power so that we may respond to the enemy if he violates the peace agreement. In any other case, the peace is not really peace, rather it is submission, and this is what is not accepted in our Sharī’ah.

    The Muslims have to understand very well that the word “Jihād” is not a shameful matter for us to be shy of or to hide from. It is not a vile word that must be erased from the school curriculums, or from the media, and from the pages of the newspapers and books, and from the Friday sermons, and from the lessons, and other than this. Not at all, my brothers! Al-Jihād is a very great word. Al-Jihād is the camel hump (the peak) of Islām. Al-Jihād is the highest thing in Islām, whether the enemies of the Ummah – any enemies of the Ummah, whether from outside of it or from its sons – like it or not. The word “Al-Jihād” in its various forms came in the Qur’ān over 30 times. The word “Al-Qitāl,” meaning the Ummah’s fighting against its enemies, this word appears over 90 times in the Book of Allāh ‘Azza Wa Jall. The word “An-Nasr” (victory) appears over 140 times. To where will we run from these words? To where will we run from these Āyāt?

    To where will we run from the Statement of Allāh, Azza Wa Jall,

    يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ حَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ
    O Prophet! Incite the believers to fight [1]

    To where will we run from His Statement,

    يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ قَاتِلُواْ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُم مِّنَ الْكُفَّارِ وَلْيَجِدُواْ فِيكُمْ غِلْظَةً وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ
    O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you [2]

    When will the harshness appear if all the Muslim countries are occupied, and we are still searching for peace?

    To where will we run from from the Statement of Allāh, Ta’ālā

    قَاتِلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَآفَّةً كَمَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ كَآفَّةً
    Fight against the polytheists collectively, as they fight against you collectively [3]

    My brothers and sisters, how can an Ummah who desires to protect itself and to defend its honor and its sanctities leave Jihād and fighting? In what customs, or in what laws, or in what religion, is a nation who is occupied in the East and the West encouraged to not talk about Jihād and fighting and war and preparation? In what law is this present?? My brothers, I believe that this disease, the disease of abandoning Jihād, and abandoning talking about it, and abandoning preparation for it, is from the greatest diseases of the Ummah. And there has never ever been in our history any upliftment except with it, with Jihād in the Path of Allāh. And there is a lesson for us in history.

    January 6, 2009 - الثلاثاء 10 محرم 1430 at 3:24 am

    We saw how the Tattār worked hard in preparing everything they could for victory, whether it be soldiers or weapons or the preparation of roads or the placement of lines of action or giving attention to alliances and the psychological war, or the preparation of alternative plans… It was truly a unique preparation, and review the lesson, “The Preparation for the Invasion of Iraq.” And on the other side, the Muslims were living in another valley. The Islāmic armies were neglected, and their level declined. No ruler cared to modernize his weapons or train his armies. The proper planning was not put in place. There was no meticulous intelligence-gathering. The Muslims were very, very lax in their preparation. Their priorities were set in a humiliating way. While millions were being spent on palaces and marble and gardens and parties, nothing was spent on the countries’ military and educational and economic preparations. While the examples of those who excelled in the educational, military, and management fields lessened in number, there increased the appearance of the male and female singers, and the male and female dancers, and the male and female athletes, and the heedless males and the heedless females. Subhān Allāh. Is this an Ummah that is preparing itself for the emancipation of its lands? Subhān Allāh. An Ummah with such a preparation must be defeated. My brothers, without preparation, the Muslim Ummah will not rise up. Placing our trust in Allāh ‘Azza Wa Jall does not mean that we become lax in taking the necessary steps. And our seeking to prepare does not mean that we become lax in our reliance on our Lord, Subhānahu Wa Ta’ālā. The two must go together. We should expend our utmost effort in the financial preparation of our Ummah, and we should truthfully turn to Allāh ‘Azza Wa Jall and ask Him to grant us victory over our enemies and that He makes it easy for these means to produce their results. So that is a very dangerous disease and it continues to be present, and review the statistics on the educational and economic and military and political state of the Ummah so that you can see the extent of the calamity in which the Ummah is living.

70. Mujahid-My ideal Hero says:
    January 6, 2009 - الثلاثاء 10 محرم 1430 at 3:27 am

    The upbringing of an exemplary person, as me mentioned many times before, is thousands of times higher than the upbringing of books and sermons. Soldiers feel a huge sense of estrangement and they completely lose enthusiasm if they lose an example to look up to. A thousand sermons inciting to Jihād if the soldiers find that their leader is the first one to hide during calamities. A thousand sermons on bearing difficult circumstances and being satisfied with little and having Zuhd in the Dunyā, and enduring the economic hardships will avail nothing if the people find their leader living luxuriously in palaces, spending millions on his relaxation and his happiness and his luxury and his noisy parties. A thousand sermons on praiseworthy manners will not produce anything within the Ummah if the one who is supposed to be followed doesn’t pray to begin with, and doesn’t fast, and doesn’t adhere to the cleanliness of hand and tongue and heart and conscience. How can a people be attached to its religion and to the Legislation of its Lord, when they rarely here the name “Allāh” spoken by their leader or their professor or their up bringer.

    How can the people fix their state while the examples that appear for them are immoral examples, completely far from the path of righteousness?

    The commander who is not a living example to his people in Jihād and morals and patience and Zuhd and justice should not expect that his people protect him during hard times or that they would stand with him in the times of calamity.

71. Mujahid-loosing my Identity says:
    January 6, 2009 - الثلاثاء 10 محرم 1430 at 3:30 am

    And the fundamental, sublime Islāmic rule that became clear to us after ‘Ayn Jālūt is that if you give victory to Allāh, Allāh will give victory to you. And the Victory of Allāh comes by implementing His Sharī’ah and rallying around one single Islāmic banner. And the banner must be Islāmic, with complete clarity. Islāmic. Not racial or tribal or nationalistic.

    As for distance from the Manhaj of Allāh ‘Azza Wa Jall, and accepting the Eastern and Western substitution, and turning away from the Book of Allāh ‘Azza Wa Jall and the Sunnah of His noble Messenger, صلى الله عليه و سلم, then this is the root of the calamities and the location of the disease. And the Muslims did not change the situation of the Tattār until there appeared the one who called out with the beautiful, deep call, “Wā Islāmāh,” as we clarified before [when talking about] the causes of victory at ‘Ayn Jālūt. No matter how much any commander tries to incite his people with something other than Islām, he will never be successful, and his nation will never be successful.

    Allāh, ‘Azza Wa Jall, refused to give us victory except if we bind ourselves to Him on the outside and the inside. Our outside is Muslim and our inside is Muslim. Our politics is Muslim. Or economics is Muslim. Our media is Muslim. Our judiciary is Muslim. Our army is Muslim. Like this, with clarity. Without concealment or dread or fear or apprehension.

    My brothers and sisters, there is nothing for us to be ashamed of. Rather, the one who frees himself from the religion is the one who should be ashamed. Subhān Allāh, look at our present reality. Those who speak about the religion must be very careful, and every word is counted against them, and they must say the words with precision so the words do not have other [unintended] meanings. And as for those who speak about corruption and pornography, then as they wish. No restriction or condition. The music videos, and the shameless programs, and the dirty advertisements, without a watcher or a reckoner. How can a nation that lost its identity to this degree be victorious? How can a nation be victorious where the scholar feels ashamed to say the word of Truth, and the evil one does not feel ashamed to openly proclaim his evil and shamelessness? There must be a pause, O Muslims. The loss of the Islāmic identity is the first and primary disease that enabled the enemies of the Ummah to overtake our lands.

72. Mujahid-Got Brotherhood? says:
    January 6, 2009 - الثلاثاء 10 محرم 1430 at 3:33 am

    As the disputes, my brother, were present between all different Muslim provinces in the days of the Tattār, and as Jalāl Ad-Dīn [ibn Khawarizm-Shah] was causing mischief in the lands of the Muslims, while the armies of the Tattār were a few steps away from them, likewise we see differences and disputes creeping between all almost all the Muslim countries. Think, and you will not find two Islāmic lands neighboring one another except that you will find they are disputing over borders, or are differing about [another] issue. The Muslims have become completely busy with themselves. They left the occupying armies to carouse in the territories of the Islāmic world, and they made their preoccupation throwing words and sermons, and sometimes rocks and weapons, back and forth with their Muslim brothers. Subhān Allāh.

    And there is no doubt that disputes between the Muslims is a companion of failure. As our Lord clearly Said in His book:

    وَلاَ تَنَازَعُواْ فَتَفْشَلُواْ وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ وَاصْبِرُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ
    And do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allāh is with the patient ones [2]

    So this is a one of the dangerous diseases that we definitely see with our eyes, and explains for us the ability of the Americans and others to [overpower] the Muslim lands

73. Mujahid-Money, Money, and more Money. says:
    January 6, 2009 - الثلاثاء 10 محرم 1430 at 3:37 am

    The Dunyā became very large in the eyes of the Muslims in the days of the Tattār, and likewise in our time. There are whole generations of the Muslims who do not live except for their Dunyā, though this Dunyā is despised and lowly. Every individual lives for himself. Every individual lives to gather wealth, and to beautify and make his living nicer and to enjoy the different types of luxuries and food, drink, transportation, and housing, and to enjoy the different types of singing and the different new forms of music. And so on. The Muslims drowned in their Dunyā. Many of the youth, my brothers, memorize from the shameless songs more than what he memorizes of the Qur’ān. Many of the youth know in detail the lives of the male and female “artists,” the living and the dead of them, and know, with certainty, the life story of every athlete in our country or other countries, and do not know anything about the life stories of the heroes and scholars and commanders of the Muslims. Rather, they do not know anything on the life stories of the companions of the Messenger of Allāh. Rather they might not know anything about the life story of the Messenger of Allāh himself! Subhān Allāh. Is this not a disease that requires treatment?

    Luxury, my brothers, is from the clear causes of destruction. Allāh, ‘Azza Wa Jall, says in His Book:

    وَإِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَن نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُواْ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا تَدْمِيراً
    And when We decide to destroy a town (population), We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allāh and be righteous) to those among them who are given the good things of this life. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction. [3]

    The extravagance in the Muslim countries today has reached to the level of the regular Muslims, it even reached to the poor. Can you imagine? To the poor. A man might not find his day’s sustenance, but will not be able to give up cigarettes. Subhān Allāh. It may be that he cannot find what will support himself and his children, but he will sit for hours at the cafes and cafeterias and coffee shops, and so on. He might not be able to educate his children, but he is avid and keen on obtaining a video [player] or a satellite dish.

    And the ideological extravagance. Subhān Allāh. And what will make you know what is ideological extravagance? Very, very dangerous. It preoccupies the minds of many of those who consider themselves to be cultured with things that do not nourish or avail from hunger at all. Philosophical ideas, secular schools, materialistic notions, statements and insights from people who amount to nothing on the scale of Truth.

    Should this be the case for an Ummah that is suffering from a crisis? Should this be the case for an Ummah that is occupied in more than one of its lands? Should this be the case for an Ummah that is backwards in most of the fields of life? The military, political, economic and educational fields, as well as the moral field? This can never be right. But this is the reality that we see with our eyes. Yes, it is a painful reality, but we do not wish to be like ostriches, burying our heads in the sand, and hide these realities from our eyes so that we can live in happiness. This cannot be, this is stupidity and foolishness. We cannot do this. Rather, we should confront these diseases and take a serious pause with our diseases so that we can cure them. And the state of the Muslims will not get better, and their lands will never be freed except through implementing the Sharī’ah of our Lord, and except with our conformity to our Lord’s Sunan of Victory. And this is witnessed in history, and is witnessed in the present.

    Baytul Maqsad is part of our Aqeedah and we are doing nothing about it.
    To brother Dalmar:_ people like me who are from Somalia know very well that you are a somali by your name, so for you to ask allah to eradicate the Mujahidin (Al shabab) is a curse that will surely come back to you (i ask allah sw to re-direct that curse to you and anyone who is anti-Al shabab), Hamza and Al shabab are both the lions of allah and will keep making the faces of your likes angry all the time!

    Even though I don’t feel we’re at the point we need to be soon enough, I know that we’re closer insha’Allah, and for sure, we are better than yesterday.

    Also, I wanted to tell you guys about a recently reverted brother’s dream. I won’t tell all of it because I don’t know it all. He woke up scared more than he was ever scared before, because in the dream he was told that what is happening now is like a single grain of salt compared to what is coming. May Allah be with all the muslimeen.

    Will this ummah please stand up!

    The first people that need to be eliminated are the shurtah and mala- of munaafiq leaders like Mubaarak. Egypt sealed the border between them and Gaza with their own police and army. Palestinians were fleeing and tried to cross and were shot and 4 killed…one of the palestinians shot back and killed an egyptian officer.

    Mubarak had the audacity of portraying this as Hamas invading Egypt! The free scholars of Azhar declared that this egyptian is NOT a shaheed and that the palestinians are though…the Mala- of egypt have clearly chosen to take the Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestinian wing of Hamas as enemies instead of zionists…therefore participating in the massacres. This is what the Shaikh meant when he said Egypt is part of the massacres

    At-Tibyān Publications

    All praise is due to Allāh, Lord of the Worlds. There is no deity worthy of worship but Him, the All-Powerful, the Able, the All-Mighty, the Triumphant, the One, the Subduer. Nothing escapes him on the Earth or in the heavens. And may the Blessings and Peace [of Allāh] be upon our Prophet Muhammad, the slave of Allāh and His Messenger, the Imām of the Mujāhidīn and the commander of the conquerers.

    Indeed the events occurring now on one of the lands of Islām and the Muslims, in the land of Ghazzah (Gaza) in Palestine the Resistant, from unconcealed transgression and massacres, are spurned by all values and morals, and are rejected by all humanity. [These events] forced those of us who have signed this proclamation – a group of the scholars and callers of our beloved Egypt – to clarify our opinion so as to have an excuse in front of Allāh ‘Azza Wa Jall, and in clarification to the people….

    Bismillah,

    I don’t think that we need anyone else to tell us that the Gazans are facing a massacre or at the other end of the spectrum that Hamas are to blame.

    Anyone who has a radio, television or internet connection can see what is happening. Hamas is not to blame nor or any other group committed to jihad. The kuffar are conspiring against the muslims and at their head is shaitan the ultimate enemy of mankind. The kuffar have chosen their leader and we have chosen who will follow and that is the commands of Allah. (read ibn taymiahs book Auwylia shaitan/auwylia ArRahmah).

    Let us use this blog constructively we haven’t got time to waste with name callers and timewasters. We have read the ways to help the jihad let us implement the advice. I intend to share what I know to help the intelligence drive and also to clarify things for younger brothers who from what I have read have no idea what it is like but may Allah reward them for their intentions inshallah. I will talk about topics such as intel gathering on the part of the kuffar and infiltration giving real live stories on how they gather information. I will use one model as it is the one mostly widely used throughout the world. I hope that Allah will protect me and give me the strength to complete this. I will also outline preparation techniques and again back this up with real live events. As this will take time I will ask you to patient. If anyone else can share their own experiences and or skills then I advice you to do so. You can’t share what you know from inside the walls of a prison. The kuffar already know me so I am not too bothered. May Allah protect the Muslims inshallah. I will write under spops so if you interested in the posts then please read and digest inshallah. Whatever good is only from Allah and whatever evil is definetely from me!

     Book in English: “Jihaad the Absent Obligation” by Muhammed Abdul Salam Faraj
     .
     http://www.zshare.net/download/53747066aedb3576/

     .
     “Jihaad fee sabeel Lillah (in the cause of Allaah), despite its overriding importance and its great influence on the future of Islaam, has been neglected by present scholars, although they know that it is the only way to bring Islaam back and cause it to come to the surface again. Every Muslim seems to prefer the ideas and the philosophies that he fancies instead of the best way that Allaah has drawn for honour, power and glory of His servants. But there is no doubt that the tyrants of this earth will only be removed by the might of the sword, and that is why the Prophet (PBUH) said: “I have been sent before the Hour with the sword until Allaah is worshipped alone with no partner, and my sustenance has been placed underneath the shade of my spear, and the disgrace and the abasement have been inflicted on those that oppose my command, and whoever imitates a people is one of them.”

     Book in English: Signs of ar-Rahman in Jihad of Afghan by Shaykh Abdullah Azzam
     ——————————————————————
     .
     http://www.zshare.net/download/53747532f930110f/
     .
     “This book was written by Shaykh Abdullah Azzam during the Afghan-Soviet Jihad in the 1980’s. It deals specifically with first hand accounts of the miracles that occured during this Jihad.
     .
     Shaykh Abdullah Azzam writes, ‘These incidents which are going to be narrated are, in reality, more extraordinary than one can possibly imagine, and appear to resemble fairytales. I have personally heard them with my own ears; and have written them with my own hands from those Mujaahideen who themselves were present. I have heard these miracles from such men who are trustworthy and reliable, and who have been constantly on the battlefield. The miracles are many, so much so that they more or less reach the degree of Tawaatur i.e. such a large number that does not entertain the possibility of fabrication. I have heard numerous such miraculous episodes, but brevity does not allow me to enumerate all of them.
     .
     Allaah Ta ‘ala has not made it except as a glad tiding, so that your hearts may achieve tranquility by it.’
     .
     Shaykh Abdullah Azzam Time Magazine described Shaykh Abdullah Azzam as the man who was the ‘reviver of Jihad in the 20th Century’. Abdullah Yusuf Azzam was born in the village of Ass-ba’ah Al-Hartiyeh, province of Jineen in the occupied sacred land of Palestine in 1941 CE. He was brought up in a humble house where he was taught Islam, and was fed with the love of Allah, His Messenger (saw), those striving in the Way of Allah, the righteous people and the desire for the Hereafter. Sheikh Abdullah Azzam was one of the first Arabs to join the Afghan Jihad against the communist USSR in 1979, when he learned about the Afghan Jihad, he left his teaching position at King Abdul-Aziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and went to Islamabad, Pakistan, in order to be able to participate in the Jihad. He was a fine example of Islamic manners, in his piety, his devotion to Allah and his modesty in all things. He would never adulate in his relations with others. Shaykh Azzam always listened to the youth, he was dignified and did not allow fear to have access to his brave heart. He practiced continual fasting especially the alternate daily fasting routine of Prophet Dawud (as). He strongly counselled others to practice fasting on Mondays and Thursdays.
     .
     The Shaykh was a man of uprightness, honesty and virtue, and was never heard to slander others or to talk unpleasantly about an individual Muslim. On 24 November 1989. The enemies of Allah planted three bombs on a road so narrow only a single car could travel on it. It was the road Shaykh Abdullah Azzam would use to drive to the Friday Prayer. That Friday, the Shaykh together with two of his own sons, Ibrahim and Muhammad, and with one of the sons of the late Shaykh Tameem Adnani drove along the road. The car stopped at the position of the first bomb, and the Sheikh alighted to walk the remainder of the way. The enemies, lying in wait, then exploded the bomb. A loud explosion and a great thundering were heard all over the city. People emerged from the mosque, and beheld a terrible scene. Only a small fragment of the car remained. The young son Ibrahim flew 100 meters into the air; the other two youths were thrown a similar distance away, and their remains were scattered among the trees and power lines. As for Shaykh Abdullah Azzam himself, his body was found resting against a wall, totally intact and not at all disfigured, except that some blood was seen issuing from his mouth. Sheikh Abdullah Azzam himself once said, ” Indeed Islamic history is not written except with the blood of the Shuhadaa’, except with the stories of the Shuhadaa’ and except with the examples of the Shuhadaa’. ” May Allah (swt) accept him amongst them.”

     Bismillah,

     The first thing that everyone should be aware of is that we are our own worst enemy. We freely give information to the Kuffar for use against us. The biggest perpertrators of crimes against Muslims are those who work for the so called Muslim intelligence services.

     Jordan/Egypt and not to forget Saudi actively torture brothers and sisters for their beliefs. the belief that the only way to defeat the Kuffar is through a return to Jihad.

     Here are some of the ways that they gather intel:- One, they infiltrate the group with someone who on the face of it is a Muslim but inside Allah knows best. He then passes himself of as a concerned and committed member who will help in whatever way he can. Once he has gained the trust of the group he will then slowly try to extract information in many cases he will even make suggestions to see how committed the group are to there goal.

     Here are two examples of this in reality. A group of brothers were infiltrated by a one of these so called Muslims who was a student of knowledge. He then went onto to become a committed member of the group who swore to help in anyway he could with funding etc..(he was an Arab) He then betrayed the group to the British intelligence who still have one brother locked up until now.

     The second, a group of brothers all fell to the same scam as the one in London. The person in question was a respected Shiekh who had in the past been to the lands of Jihad. However, he had been recruited by the intelligence service of an Arab country and was actively working with them in sending brothers who expressed any desire to go to jihad. He managed to keep from being caught earlier by allowing some brothers to actually go to Jihad while others were captured before they even got out of the country.

     Remember that people have different breaking points and we should not condemn them all as munafiqoon. Why? take the story of the sahabah who tried to pass information back to the mekkans about the planned assault on Mekkah. He was a participant in badr and he only was trying to help his family who had no support. The prophet (peace be upon him) did not dennounce him but told the sahahba to leave him. (I am only putting forth an arguement as we do not always know what his behind the persons betrayal. May Allah save us from this inshallah).

     There are many more stories from reliable and first hand sources that show the need for ensuring your own security first. There are two phrases that everyone needs to be familiar with. The first, “need to know basis”, if someone doesn’t need to know then don’t tell them. We Muslims have a very bad habit of trusting every Muslim that comes along and this is against the sunnah. The seerah of the prophet clearly shows as in the example of Hudaifah that not all information is for everyone. Secondly, that not everyone who claims to be a Muslim is one. If we start to apply the sunnah we will see who the Munafiquoon are and may we not be from them as we should all fear it.

     The second saying is that “walls have ears”, and this can be literally with the kuffar and their electronic listening devices. From all this do not get paranoid but you have to develop a healthy sense of personal security for you and for your brothers and sisters.

     Remember the Prophet (peace be upon him) told us tie your camel then trust in Allah.

     How many times have I seen and myself been responsible for leaving this hadith.

     Finally, I am aware that this information is going out on the web but this is not secret information it is readily available to any seeker of information I am merely a collator. May it benefit the readers who understand it inshallah.

     I would like to add a point to your list of 44. It is not a new point, because you have named it (arms training/ first aid training), but i want to add a video link so that the muslims can learn from the video’s.
     This video’s are about learning the basic of survival (bushcraft). Ray Mears is teaching the viewers how to survive in different area’s around the world and how to; use the limited equipment/ make tools from trees.

     You can find on the rightside other subjects.

     Read these excerpts below to understand the hypocritical Iranian and Syrian role. The criminal Syrian and Iranian leadership have no interest in helping Hamas . Unfortunately lot of naive Muslims don’t understand that media is elevating Hizbullah and highlighting that they did better. Iran, Syria and Hizbullah have nothing to do with the Jihad and are only helping the taghoot. They were on side of corrupt Lebanese army during teh massacre at Nahr Al Bared.

     “France sought to enlist Syria, a key backer of Hamas, in maneuvers toward a cease-fire.”

     In Damascus, President Bashar al-Assad met on Tuesday with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is touring the region in quest of a truce. But while the French leader launched an impassioned plea for an end to the fighting, describing it as “unbearable,” Mr. Assad accused Israel of committing a war crime by invading Gaza and said it would pay “the highest price.”

     Another headline reads “’Iran pledged that Hezbollah won’t respond to Gaza op”

     Muslims in Gaza must be careful raising the red, blue secular flag. The photos so far only show the secular flag. Is this same flag from the days of Arafat? Are there different flags for Hamas and Islamic Jihad? Why was the red , blue flag not changed? Are they waiting for so called international community to recognise them before they change it? Astaghfirullah. They should not try to please others but Almighty Allah only. Please check the various news agencies photos. It is a serious problem when you try to wage Jihad against the enemy under such a secular flag that depicts Kufr system and not La Ilaha Illallah. Sahaba Karaam Radi Allahu used to evaluate themselves as to what they were missing from Sunnah when they had reversals on the battlefield. if they don’t have the right flag just don’t have to raise any such flag now and concentrate on Jihad.

     Right now we should not be distracted with causing fitna and spreading problems with people that are outside of the immediate issue (Syria, Iran, Hizbollah). Right now the ones to be blamed and castigated for this aggression and many others is Saudi Arabian Government, Egypt, Israel, and the U.S. They are the culprits undergoing this assault on our brothers… Also just generally speaking one needs to be intelligent in undergoing military alliances etc. Al-yahood wants to exploit differences and cause fitna between their different opposition groups however obviously the number one threat is ISRAEL and its munafaqeen supporters…. Even if there are genuine problems and differences within the opposition groups Israel and it’s client states demand that all opposition groups team up against it…. Don’t let al-yahood make you forget your priorities and divide us…. Right now of all times is not the time to be distracted….

     After studying economics for the last few years, it has become apparent to me that there is no way to defeat the enemy unless they are fought on all fronts.

     The palestinians for instance can fight all they want, but so long as their economy basis value on the Israeli Sheqel, or as long as the gulf states continue to price oil in dollars instead of gold, or as long as you give any sort of value to the trade and circulation of Riba and faux money….you will never defeat a nation’s economy. In fact, what has happened is that the traitors in charge of the gulf states have even pegged their currencies to the US dollar, fixing themselves to the whims of the US’s kufr government and usurous and fiat-money economic system….تالله Tallaahi I hope that Groups like Al-Shabab can pop up all over the world to destroy this global system of kufr, riba, and bloodshed for muslim resources.

The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased.

     To the brothers in Egypt and Jordan. I think the time is NOW to stand up against your governments and remove them from their place because they are the obstacle that is stopping you from helping the Palestinian brothers and sisters and children. Step 1, remove the oppressive muslim leaders, step 2, unite against non-muslim oppressors, step 3, peace Inshallah.

     @Jihadfeesabililah inshallah, Jazakiallahkeir Sheikh Aymans words are so true / They used to endanger their lives, used to do wonders and extraordinary deeds being shure of Allahs help, depending upon his promise as it happened in the Islamic army under the command of Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas. He stood infront of the the town of Midian and could not find any ship or boat, and the water of the Tigris increased tremendously with overflooding. Sad addressed the troops over its banks ” I have resolved to cross the great river in order to assault them the enermy. The troops replied May Allah direct us and you to follow the right path. So please do it .Then Sa’d rushed heedlessly into the Tigris with his horse and with all his troops not a signal man remained behind , so they marched over it as if they were marching over the surface of the earth.They filled the space between the two banks so the water couldnt be seen from the cavalry and the foot soldiers . The troops spoke to one another as if they were walking on the surface of the earth. So when the Persian army saw them they said DIWAN DIWAN ( MAD PEOPLE MAD PEOPLE) By Allah you are not fighting against human beings but against Jinn. On that Sa’d started saying Allah is sufficient for us and He is the Best Disposer of our affairs

     haroon buksh,
     Can’t you see?The so-called ‘ulama are in the pockets of their paymasters-kings,PM’s,presidents and junta leaders-,and their paymasters are in the pockets of American-led west and the Americans are in the pocket of the Zionists who in turn are in the pocket of the kingpin himself-Shaytan!
     No hope whatsoever can be placed in these spineless,toothless and boneless scoundrels for when the scholars and the leaders are corrupt,there is no hope for the ummah.At least not from them.
     But Allah will continue to support the Taifah as they’ll continue to fight Jihad for the Truth to prevail.
     So blessed are those who join their ranks,aid them and spread their ways.

     Dalmar,
     Only a sincere muslim’s qualified to talk about Jihad and you don’t seem like one;it appears you only visit this blog to spite people.There’s not a single mu’min in the real sense of the word who’d doubt the obligatory nature of Jihad in a place like occupied al-Quds and your pathetic contributions show you are far away from this understanding.And this could mean that you don’t even believe that territory is under INVASION AND OCCUPATION by zonists,hence it becomes needless to engage you in any reasoning.
     As for your attacks on Hamas which are based on some faulty lines of thought,I believe they deserve to be censured BUT for abandoning JIHAD in the path of Allah,embracing the kufr of democracy,putting hope in and allying with seculars elements while opposing and even at some time killing the muwahideen and mujahideen to please int’l kufr.THERE IS NO HELP EXCEPT FROM ALLAH and THERE IS NO HONOR EXCEPT IN ISLAM.
     I pray Allah guides the truthful among them to the paths of the likes of Taliban,Chechen mujahids,al-Shabaab among others who are striving in line with shari’ah seeking to raise Allah’s flag on earth.And may Allah forgive the souls of the departed muslims,have mercy on them and accept them among the matyrs.Ameen!

     Bismillah

     As salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah,

     Let us continue with information that may help us or our brothers. Let us look at the ways that the Kuffar employ in turning a Muslim into an informer.

     First, it maybe that the person is already there i.e Munafiq and as such will readily work for the kuffar for he/she is from them.

     Second, he or she may be from a group other than the group that is being infiltrated and have made wala and bara based on the group or nationality.

     Third, the brother or sister are being blackmailed by the intelligence service and what are the things they could use; a) their family, b) being returned to their own country for torture, c) illicit affair that they threaten to expose this is a classic one called the honey trap. We can all say that we wouldn’t betray our brothers and sisters or we wouldn’t work for the kuffar but they say that everyone has a breaking point and it is finding the breaking point that is their job. May Allah protect the Mujahideen with strong emaan like the great sahabah caught by the Quraish and cut into pieces yet still insisted that he would rather be in the place he was than our prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him).

     There is an article run by the guardian in regard to the honey trap if I find it I will post the link inshallah.

     Next post will look at the organisations who run informers and the techniques they use to keep the informer hooked in to the work. We shall also look at ways to distribute these techniques inshallah.

     May Allah protect us all from the plans and plots of shaitan and his kuffar helpers.

     Ameen

     Wallahi my heart bleeds for my brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and children in plastain. I can’t bear to watch the news anymore it truly saddens me….. I feel so helpless. Beyond doubt I blame Egypt more for this atrocities than the Israelis. Like the Israelis put it they are only protecting its citizens. However what is stopping the Muslims leader taking the same action, after all it is the duty of every Muslim to protect his brother if he is being wronged, SubhanAllah how can a Muslim watch anther Muslim getting killed? I say we as Muslims should unite to protest in every country at the Egyptian embassy. If Muslims all over the world did that I grantee you there will be a ceasefire within a day. Nothing will frighten the mushrakeen and the munafiqeen more than to see us unified.

     May all keep the mujahedeen steadfast! may all grant the shuhada jannah!

     as-salamu `alaykum wa rahmatullah:

     Long ago we started getting a message that the Starbucks company was sending this or that amount of money from its purchases to the IDF.

     After reading the message fabricated and attributed to the chairman Howard Schultz, I recognized the falsehood of it, as I am a native English speaker (phrases of it were not American English, but it has British expressions that give it away, as well as mistakes, for both British and American English, making it clear that it was not stated by someone who is a native of NY city) and I looked into the matter, so this is what Starbucks had to say about it:

     “You may have heard a rumor about Howard Schultz, Starbucks and the Israeli army. The rumor is false. Neither chairman Howard Schultz nor Starbucks fund or support the Israeli Army.

     Starbucks is a non-political organization and does not support individual political causes.

     Contact Information:
     Starbucks Coffee Company
     (206) 318-7100
     press@…”

     http://www.starbucks.com/aboutus/pressdesc.asp?id=668&rumor=true

     With current events, this false claim – that Starbucks supports the IDF – is gaining steam again, so please forward this to anyone that sends you such a message.

     Also, just to throw dirt in the face of those who spread such lies among the Muslims, see this:

     http://www.snopes.com/politics/israel/starbucks.asp

     and for those who still like to believe a lie because it was told to them by a Muslim (!?) then review the material here where the forger of the letter has admitted to forging it.

     http://www.snopes.com/politics/israel/schultz.asp

     The Messenger of Allah (sall Allahu `alaihi wa sallam) spoke of these people who spread these rumours:

     “Sufficient that a man is a liar that he narrates everything he hears.” Sahih Muslim, in the introduction.

     And consider the status of a people who make unlawful what Allah has made lawful, and whoever follows them in that, believes it, speaks according to it, and acts upon it….

     So perhaps you can save this email, and if you get an email from one of these liars about this lie, you can “reply all” with it, and may Allah reward you for countering falsehood with the truth.

     Bismillah,

     as salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah

     Before I begin let me once again state that these posts are for your information not to create paranoia, but a healthy concern for safety and security. The stories are inshallah authentic some based on my own experiences first hand.

     Regards intell as previously posted it comes from a number of sources at the moment we are looking at intel from informers/infiltrators.

     Most security services run informers in the UK it can be special branch or in a military environment it would be 13 intelligence company Military. At a local level it can be antiterrorist wing or the CID. How they work the informer is different from level to level.

     Anyway, the bottom line is that they will do whatever they have to get the info they need. From payment of sums of money to even creating a full blown cover story for the infiltrator to use, so that they look genuine and bonefide.

     There are many examples from the IRA network in Ireland where they had been infiltrated at the top echelon even after going through a huge transformation to safeguard their own position which didn’t work totally. One of their chiefs was the enforcer for the IRA whose job it was to torture suspected informers whilst he himself was the one working for British Intelligence as a prime asset. The British Intell went so far as to provide him with names of people who were low key expendable informers whom he would then torture, extract the information and either kill or maim.

     Okay, as Muslims we know that some suspicion is sin, but we can take precautions so as to minimise the harm to ourselves such as not speaking about matters openly in front of strangers, not gathering in one place regularly. Not saying more than we have too. Not just assuming that everyone you meet has the Ummah’s best interest at heart no matter how good they are in speech.

     For those actively in the field then counter intelligence should be used. What is counter intelligence. The best examples are those of the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) when he told the troops that he was going to one place and they went to another. When he would set off in a different direction to the one that they were meant to going then change direction. To give false information in front of people so that if it is acted upon it will result in the enemy following false leads. A classic example of counter intelligence which in essence is deception is what the Israelis did prior to the launch of the attacks. They started to normalise things such as opening the border crossings and making political tones that peace was an objective to be sort after. In reality that had caused Hamas to lower their guard.

     Summary:-

     Intell comes from various sources.

     One of the prime sources being human intel.

     We can stop the passage of info by taking precautions and following the prophetic sunnah.

     Counter intelligence is basically deception.

     Remember that prevention is better than cure.

     As Muslims we should endeavour to opt out as much as possible from helping the economies of the west. Regardless as to whether or not they send money to the IDF. It just goes to show that if we can’t even sacrifice small things such as coffee from Starbucks then how will it be when it comes to sacrificing our lives for the sake of Allah (The Almighty).

     I wrote this a while ago so some of it might be a little outdated:

     Al-Wahn
     “The People will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their food.” Someone asked, “Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?” He replied, “No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be froth and scum like that carried down by a torrent (of water), and Allah will take the fear of you from the breasts (hearts) of your enemy and cast al-wahn into your hearts.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what is al-wahn?” He replied, “Love of the world and dislike of death.” [An authentic Hadith recorded by Abu Dawud and Ahmad]

     Book 37, Number 4284:

     Muhammad Ashraf’s commentary on this Hadith offers enlightening insights. He (d. 1310/1892), a distinguished Hadith scholar, gives the following interpretation:

     Factions of disbelievers and misguided nations will invite each other to fight you, break your power and take away the lands and possessions which you own in the same manner that a diner invites people to eat a bowl of stew. They will be eating from it without any restraint or contention amongst themselves. They will be eating it being excused for their behavior and undisturbed. They will eat what is in their hands without becoming tired, feeling ill effects or any injury that will stop them.” Someone asked: “Will they invite each other because we will be few in number?” He answered: “On the contrary, at that time we will be many in number. However, you will be scum and foam, like the scum and foam of a body of water, foam and filth. You will resemble it because of the scarcity of your courage and the lowness of your value and worth. Allah will surely remove any fear or fright of you from the breasts of your enemies and definitely instill that which causes weakness (al-wahn) in your hearts.” Someone asked: “Oh Messenger of Allah, what kind of or what aspect of weakness?” He replied: “”Love of the dunya (worldly, secular, immediate, materialistic life) and aversion to dying.

     It is not merely an aversion to dying brothers and sisters, it is an aversion to even being injured feesabililah, to even disrupt your lives feesabililah. Too many of us have become complacent with the dunya.

     Brothers and sisters, look at us. We claim to be the best of the Muslims in the world here in the United States. We are blind…

     Brothers and sisters your BMW’s, your so-called tolerance, your mansions and your wealth mean nothing. Nothing! We live in the wealthiest country in the world and we feast while our brothers and sisters are starving. What did we do for them? What did we do for our starving brothers and sisters!? For the Ummah that is literally starving!? We left them…

     Instead of making Hijra Feesabililah we made Hijra for the Dunya. La ilaha ill Allah! Hear those words and ask yourself, “What have you done for this Ummah?” Brothers and Sisters what have you done? Brothers and sisters… nothing…

     Our brothers and sisters are dying and we do nothing! We are more preoccupied with our Western lifestyles than with helping the Ummah.

     If your brother is staring down the barrel of a gun you die to save him! You DIE to save him! La ilaha ill Allah! You do not understand it! If just one brother or sister is in trouble you exhaust every effort to save them! Every effort until you are dead! Until you are dead or the problem is removed.

     Brothers and sisters millions have guns to their heads. Blockades in Philistine! Christian armies in Somalia! Russian artillery in Sheeshan! Armies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir, Phillipines, and China! Our brothers and sisters are dying at the hands of the kuffar and what do you do? You would not even do the lowest act of Iman for them. You would not even remove a thorn in the road for them. What do I mean? A thorn? Brothers and sisters you won’t even bend over for a second to help them because you have wahn.

     You would not prick your finger for them! You would not type a sentence for them! You do not even make du’a for them! Du’a! The most powerful thing in our arsenal and the easiest to use, and you do not use it! You sit at home! You go to movies! You do nothing for them yet you have all of the time in the world!

     Some of you have become so attached to your Western lifestyles that you actually endorsed the wars against them. Brothers and sisters, 1,033,000 of our Ummah have perished in Iraq, 300,000 in Sheeshan (Chechnya), 4000 per year from simple violence in Palestine, 1.7 million in the Iraq-Embargo, 100,000 in Bosnia, thousands are now added to the millions from before in Afghanistan, thousands are dying in Somalia, and thousands more are injured, sickened, or imprisoned from this war. It is not a “War on Terror.” It is a War on Islam.

     Stop kidding yourselves. The West has killed more Muslims in the last 30 years than the Nazis killed Jews in WWII. The US is on track to reaching that number by itself by having killed almost 4 million in the last 15 years. America has killed 333 times more Muslims in Iraq than the number of Americans were killed in 9/11. How is this right?

     The West is engaged in a blatant and obvious campaign aimed at eliminated and/or changing Islam in its entirety. They want to eliminate sharia. They want to eliminate jihad. They want to eliminate any and all aspects of Islam that challenge their religion of Liberal Western Democracy. We pandered to them fifty years ago and now we are done. Al-Hamdulilah, that is over. We are now striking back at the crusaders and colonists. We are striking back and we are going to win.

Do you think Zionists could do this without the help and support of the US? NO. Do you think they could do this without the veto against all the pro-Palestine resolutions in UN? NO.

     So act accordingly and do whatever you can to prevent US from helping Israel. The least you can do is to stop consuming those Starbuckses and Cokes… ya akhis, don’t just sit and wait asking “what should we do…?”. Imam Anwar has already gave you 44 acts, so act upon it!

     If we follow the Sunnah and strive to live our lives according to Sunnah then “Boycott” comes automatically.

     1st step_ BS (Bachelors in Sunnah)
     Look on you and around you, get all the clothes, utensils, appliances, furniture etc that is not made by the “Juice” or “cocktails” you know what I mean (USA+Israel=made in “haven”). When we do all that our house and everything in it looks just like our prophet SAS house.

     Once you follow the first step, graduate to masters level and look at the land you are standing on see where its made in…
     I got your bell ringing now.. that’s MS- (Masters in Sunnah)

     Now you need a PhD in Sunnah. When you reach to that level in DarauI Islam the Muttaqeen Mujahid will teach you that……

     As we watch the news and see the catastrophic events unfold in Palestine today, we must ask ourselves how much do we really know about Palestine and why is it loved to us, the Muslims so much.

     Thank you jihadfeesibillah for clarifying the lies put out about Starbucks… It certainly IS Zionist! A boycott could REALLY REALLY HURT this company especially because as of right now it is going BANKRUPT… SO SAY NO TO STARBUCKS!! And unfortunately to show you the amount that the Saudi Gov’t is betraying our brothers there is a Starbucks across the street of al-haraam in Mecca in a mall that the king had built (not to mention many other American/zionist consumerist chains sadly all around al-haram!!!) Also to note Saudi and the gulf states could EASILY put an end to the suffering and aggression of the zionist state RIGHT NOW if they did an oil embargo… (especially given the hard times the U.S. economy is going through.. EASILY) but unfortunately any gov’t willing to apply true shariah is a threat to the Munafaqeen governments…. and they are all just Israeli dogs anyways when it gets down to it.. especially Egypt, Sauid, and Jordan

     Subhanallah you are very right to say that those verses describe our times now. Ya Allah, I say what Taloot and his army said when they went to fight Jaloot (Goliath) “Our Lord! Bestow on us endurance/patience, make our feet firm, and give us help against the disbelieving folk.” (2:250)

172. Ibn Adam says:
     January 8, 2009 - الخميس 12 محرم 1430 at 8:23 am

     InnalhamdaLILLAH, nahmuduhu, wa nasta’inuhu, wa nastaghfiruh. Wa na’udhu bILLAHI anfusina, wa min sayyi-aati, a’malina, wa nash-hadu al-LA ILAAHA ILLALLAH, WA ASH-HADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN SAW ‘ABDUHU, WA RASULUH, amma ba’d.

     May ALLAH give victory to the Muslims in every corner of the world, and may ALLAH curse the mushrikeen, the yahood, and the nasaara in the dunya and the Akhira. There is no excuse for the injustices of what is happening in the zionist occupied lands of palestine today. However, I do want to point out some significant wrongs that Hamas has committed as our brothers in Islam, and this is meant as naseeha to myself and others. If I am wrong in any way, please give me the rights of a Muslim, and show me where and how using the Qur-an and Sunnah with the right understanding. I am not a sheikh, nor a student of knowledge by any means. Unfortunately, these errors are significant, and must be pointed out to better understand why we have yet to receive victory in Palestine.

     1. The first and biggest mistake that Hamas made was not establishing Shari’ah when the won the elections. This is another proof of the irrelevance of democratic elections in their legitimacy as a process of ruling in Islam. This is also an issue that Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri addressed in a tape that he released some time ago as well. Without establishing Shari’ah, you can call yourself anything you want, you unfortunately sink to the level of every other so called Muslim leader/country in the world today. No Shari’ah = No Justice = No Victory from ALLAH. Period.

     2. Unlike our Mujahideen Brothers in Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, and the Caucauses, there has yet to be a serious leader for the people of Palestine who is willing to raise the flag of La Ilaaha ILLALLAH Muhammadur-RasulULLAH, and make a call for Jihad to establish an emirate and a future Khilafat. Not Yasser Arafat (PUHLEAASE!), not Mahmoud Abbas, and unfortunately, not Hamas (yet). Under what banner are you fighting? Palestine is a MUSLIM ISSUE, not a Palestinian issue, and NOT AN ARAB ISSUE. The Muslims of Somalia, Kashmir, and any other Non-Arab Muslim country in the world have more right, and a more legitimate claim to the land in Palestine than the Yahood, and the Nasaara there. As long as you fight under any other banner, don’t expect victory from ALLAH. No leader has emerged like Mullah ‘Umar, or Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, or Dokka Umarov, or the Amir of the Shabbab of Somalia to make an open call of Jihad against the Yahood. This is a serious problem.

     3. Seeking ANY kind of assistance from the kuffar ESPECIALLY THE US, THE EU, ETC. How dare you seek help from the biggest enemies of Islam and Muslims?!!! WALLAHI, if not one human is willing to give a single drop of water to the people of Palestine, it is ok, because sincere, and correct tawakkul in ALLAH would more than suffice anything the universe could EVER provide. Shame on Hamas for seeking financial aid from them. Shame on them.

     4. Educating the masses with the correct and authentic teachings of Islam. WALLAHI, one of the first things Hamas should have done after taking power, and establishing Shari’ah, was to invite the best scholars of the Ummah in the world to help teach the people. If there were issues of security, or entrance into the territories, then they should have had these scholars provide classes/instruction via telelink, internet, telephone, closed circuit tv, etc. This should have been a priority. The same way the people of Palestine need food, water, electricity, etc., they need proper scholars of Islam even MORE! Unfortunately, the people of palestine (a good portion of them, not all) still believe in nationalism, which is totally contrary to Islam. We hear people making protests against the killing of Muslims in Gaza. Where were the protests when the Yahood allowed the gay pride parade in Jerusalem?!!! Where was the Palestinians anger at this? Definitely there was some, but not at this level. Where is the love and hate for the sake of ALLAH?!!! Can any one of us imagine a gay pride parade around the Ka’ba??? or in Madinah outside of the Prophet SAW’s Masjid??? Where is the outrage??? Jerusalem was blessed by ALLAH, and if we lack the knowledge to honour it, then we need to learn it. We can’t address simple issues like this and we honestly expect victory from ALLAH??? We CLEARLY ARE NOT READY FOR VICTORY. I am not interested in seeing another secular, arab country exist in place of the zionist state of Israel, nor will such a movement ever receive victory and success from ALLAH.

     We are to make excuses for our brothers at all times, and I hope I am mistaken in making the above judgements against Hamas. However, I do not know what is in the hearts, I only see people’s actions, and speak out about the obvious. In conclusion, by no means does any of them mean that we should allow the yahood to continue the injustice and the slaughter that has been going on for so long. The Muslims there must fight with any and all means they have. However, victory, just like getting a degree, or a job, or winning a sporting event, comes with preparation and planning. In the case for our brothers and sisters in Palestine, we still have a long way to go, before seeing tangible results. I also would like to point out that with the exception of our valiant brothers in Iraq, the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, the Caucauses, the Shabaab of Somalia ARE ALL NON-ARAB. May ALLAH make them a source of inspiration to every Muslim around the world, and prepare us for victory soon InshaALLAH. SubhanakALLAH humma wa bihamdik. Ash-hadu al-LAA ILAAHA ILLA ANT. Nastaghfiruka, wa natubu ilaik. WALLAHU AKBAR, WAL ‘IZZATUL ISLAM, WAS-SALAMU’ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATUH.

     Computer security:-

     Bismillah

     It was never my strong point, but I have spoken with many brothers on this issue and here is what I know!

     First the PC is just a gateway to the Web where you can send and recieve messages or post msgs on blogs, chat on different sites, upload images and vids etc and even store files.

     Regarding one’s security the first thing that everyone should have is a firewall and there are some free ones out there. The second thing is spyware and finally antivirus. Once these are installed you have a level of security for the PC.

     However, your IP address which is particular to each persons machine is easily notable by anyone watching or monitoring your communications. The next thing you can use is a small progam which hides your surfing habits and IP address for most of us this will be quite difficult to configure and also it will sometimes not be able to connect to certain websites that need info from your machine.

     The PC is basically a comms device and as mentioned before you have to ensure that if you are worried about anything you are doing on your PC don’t do it.

     Many of the brothers would store sensitive material on the PC and then in the midst of a raid how to you suddenly erase it. You can’t unless you take out the hard drive and drill holes all the way through it.

     I said in earlier posts that we are the greatest source of info for the Kuffar therefore don’t store something that you will later regret on your PC or any removable media there is no need.

     This brings me on to some other points when they raid you they are looking for any sources of information that might help them to move forward. This includes numbers you store in your address books. My own particular case is that after they raided me taking everything electonic and written they preceded to contact everyone in my telephone book. The incidents led to me effectively signing off on many brothers who became jittery and also in the fact that I didn’t want to bring any heat on to them. You see what I am giving up here is years of practical advice not just hearsay. If you live an austere life and ensure that you do your best to safeguard the info you have then trust in Allah.

     At the end of the day they can always go to the ISP provider issue them with a warrant and take all the msgs and everything else you have been doing right off the server it is that easy for them.

     Therefore, if you are not doing anything illegal, or you are not worried about them as I am not then do what you like. The prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) is reported to have said ask your heart and if you don’t find anything bad then do it.

     If anyone else has pertinent information regarding this issue please post it.

     Because they are so many affiliated companies with Zionism I think it would be smart to single out a few companies… for ex. like i said previously starbucks is already on the brink of failure… we should spread the news to boycott Starbucks.. wallhi i think it could be very useful… look at what happened when the muslims decided to boycott Denmark products??? A few companies went out of business in a few days… we should focus on a few chains and name brands… I say inshallah Starbucks would be great… please all on here spread the news of a boycott on Starbucks in particular.. also we all know about the ‘Madoff scheme’ or whatever and one of the biggest donors to Israel who lost a lot of money was the hollywood producer Spielberg…. All hollywood is ran by al-yahood but in particular no Muslim should EVER EVER buy anything related to a Spielberg movie

     Where are the Muslims? Let alone fighting on side of Haq they are helping the Israelis in some form all over from US to Egypt.

     Look how Russian citizens are serving in Gaza. I am sure there are plenty of US citizens as most Israelis have dual nationality.

     “Among them were members of a team of snipers who served in Gaza four
     years ago. Team members immigrated to Israel after having served with
     the Russian army in Afghanistan and Chechnya, and were known for their
     expertise.

     With all due respect to the army, the IDF does not know how to fight
     snipers,” one team member explained. “The Hamas snipers are targeting
     our soldiers… Now, with the IDF fighting in the narrow streets of
     Gaza, we can protect our soldiers from the Palestinian snipers.”

     Sheikh, you mentioned that Jihad is fard ayn for everyone. However, from my studies with many students of knowledge who are graduate from Madinah and otehr reputable islamic universities, I was told that it is only fard ayn on the people who are living in a land that is occupied or besieged by the eneemy. If they are able to defend, the obligation is lifted. If they are unable, the oblation spreads to the neighboring countries as fard kifayah. If no support comes or they are unable, the obligation spreads to entire planet, however as fard kifayah. You claim that it is fard ayn on a global level. Can you please give some textual proof and the opinion of earlier scholars including the 4 madhab on this issue?

     Also, enjoining good and forbidding evil is by default fard kifayah and depends on the scale of benefit and harms. If the harm on islam and Muslims is greater than benefit by forbidding some evil, it is not applied. Now for those who can support the mujahideen and Islam in general better by living in the west through dawah, media work, etc. would it not be better for them to stick to what they are good at?

     Lastly, you mentioned many ways to support jihad. I diagree because these are ways to support qitaal and these are jihad in and of themselves. Jihad is Qitaal fi sabililah and everything that directly supports it, including all those things you have mentioned in the article. Is my understanding correct?

     Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan:
     The Invaders’ Fiasco in 2008 and Their Empty Battle Fields in the New Year’
     ————————————————–
     08-01-2009
     ……………………..
     In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
     .
     In 2008, though the invading forces of crusaders led by the USA brought down a bloodbath on the Afghans, by killing and injuring thousands of them, razing villages to dust in their whole totality as a result of brutal bombardment; turning ceremonies and functions of joys and festivities into carnage scenes, gate crashing into houses and punctuating our miserable and oppressed country men with bullets; they let their trained dogs to bite children and women and did what they could of all oppressions and atrocities. But despite that, in 2008, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate sustained on them defeats in military, political and social fields.
     .
     The brave Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate killed 5220 men of the foreign invaders and 7571 men of the hireling domestic army; shot down 31 planes, and destroyed 2818 vehicles belonging to the invaders and the hireling army. This loss was caused to the enemy as a result of the Mujahideen’s face-to-face clashes, martyrdom bombing and planted roadside mines.
     .
     The Islamic Emirate proved its viability and upper hand in the political field as well. In the past year, the invading forces, tried their best to urge the Islamic Emirate to come to a table of negotiation and turn to a diplomatic solution. Thus they were knocking at the doors of many regional countries but in fact, these were empty words based on tactical gimmicks which did not achieve the end.
     .
     The Islamic Emirate believes that the invaders’ apparent change of direction to accept a diplomatic solutions is the result of the huge losses caused to them at the hand of Mujahideen through decisive attacks. Therefore, the Islamic Emirate is of the opinion that this gimmick of negotiation is launched to make the Afghan nation doubtful about the firmness of the stand of the Islamic Emirate. Hence, the Islamic Emirate spurned this offer to be a conspiracy and a cheap initiative based on duplicity. The Islamic Emirate did not back up from its firm and rationale stand.

     .
     The USA was facing isolation throughout 2008. She was not able to encourage NATO member countries to send more troops to Afghanistan and increase their troops presence in Afghanistan from what they have now in the country.

     .
     At the end of the year, America was compelled to announce willy-nilly that she was going to send new troops to Afghanistan. This was readily a fiasco for America, forcing her to isolation. However, the most tragic and bitter event, which took place in USA, was the economic meltdown and the financial crisis. The USA has $700 billion budget deficit because of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. She has no exit strategy, nor means to flounder out of these tangles.

     .
     Observers believe that on the face of the defeats and setbacks of America and her allies seen in 2008, it is plausible that she will face further isolation in the new year; NATO member countries may depart their ways with her. The USA will face more losses in the current year as against the past year because the Afghans have come to the conclusion to stay away from believing in the empty promises of USA. They will not leave the obligation of Jihad to be fulfilled only by the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate.
     .
     It will be seen that in the new year, the land of Afghanistan will become the scene of a popular upheaval against the invading forces. It will be a year of resistance and uprising to give an unforgettable lesson to the enemy.

     The latest update on America’s debt is currently 1 Trillion. What this means in reality is that all those who are tied in to the American dollar are also holders of the debt. Being holders of the debt then do not want to see the demise of shaitan for America represents one of the biggest tagoot on the planet.

     Please keep the updates coming on Afghanistan as it pleasing to the heart to hear about the great successes of the Mujahideen.

     A point to bear in mind for my brothers is what was mentioned earlier. The successes of the US to turn Muslims against the Mujahideen was due to the weakness of faith on the part of those Muslims and also the love of the dunya. On the pretext of declaring our brother Mujahideen as perpertrators of crimes against Muslims they waged a war not for good and the love of good but because they were being paid to do that.

     The Americans are hoping to come with their drug money used for black ops and pay off the Afghan warlords and tribal leaders in order for them to turn against the brothers from the Taliban.

     This is there plan. Don’t let them implement this plan and be strong in making dawah and reminding the people about Allah and make them love Allah and fear his punishment.

     Hitting the rear echelons of any army is a great victory. If we look at why germany lost two world wars it wasn’t because they were bad soldiers in fact there were good. They lost for the reason of resupply to the front lines.

     The kuffar have studied well all the past wars and battles and have analysed the mistakes. They know they need to keep resupply lines short this is why they use Pakistan as a supply route and also Pakistan is being paid big bucks for the use of the routes.

     By hitting resupply lines you effectively bring down the supply chain which also effects the morale of the troops on the front line.

     Russia if paid enough has agreed in principle to let non lethal shipments, in other words food and the like while weapons and ammunitions will have to still come through Pakistan or via some of other route.

     If routes still keep getting hit then they may wel have to resort to this which they don’t want which is flying everything in and airdrops which has its own risks and costs.

     What we can see is that the Mumbai attack has set of a chain of events which in practical ways can assist the Mujahideen by taking some of the pressure of them whilst Pakistan go head to head.

     If Pakistan doesn’t know it yet the best friends they have are the Mujahideen.

     While the Mujahideen can exist on next to nothing the kuffar can’t.

     Remember the words of the prophet Muhammed (peace be Upon Him) the disbeliever eats like he has three stomachs.

     UN halts aid to Gaza:-

     It is proof enough that the jews are the worst enemies to the Muslims.

     It is proof that while ever the US continues its support the jews will never take the UN seriously.

     It is also proof that the only help we should all seek is the help of Allah. For only Allah can alleviate the troubles and afflictions of the Ummah.

     Regarding the cease fire. This is nothing more than a jewish plan. They cannot fight continously for 24 hours and it is proving difficult for them to collate all the reports and get the information back out to the troops.

     Therefore, they need only three hours to run the reports and send out orders for the next missions. Hamas should not accept this under any circumstances as it works only for them.

     Spops, Assalamu Alaikum, The government US and its coalition of evil are supporting in Afghanistan is a fetid hothouse of corruption, a government of gangsters and weasels whose customary salute is the upturned palm. Listen to this devastating assessment by Dexter Filkins of The Times:

     “Kept afloat by billions of dollars in American and other foreign aid, the government of Afghanistan is shot through with corruption and graft. From the lowliest traffic policeman to the family of President Hamid Karzai himself, the state built on the ruins of the Taliban government seven years ago now often seems to exist for little more than the enrichment of those who run it.”

     One recent article in Boston Globe asked Obama to take a good look at this very famous painting by Elizabeth Butler called “remnants of war” and the annihilation of entire British Column in 1842.

     http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2008/10/15/the_reality_of_war_in_afghanistan/

     It depicts the lone survivor of a 16,000-strong British column that sought to march through 150 kilometers of hostile Afghan territory in 1842. His gaunt, defeated figure is a timeless reminder of what happens to foreign armies that try to subdue Afghanistan..

     “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alayhi wasalaam) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the meeting with) Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much. Surah Al-Ahzab Ayah 21

     Narrated Abu Huraira (radiallahu anhu)The Prophet (sallalahu ‘alayhi wasalaam)said:

     “Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales and do not look for the others` faults, and do not do spying on one another, and do not practice Najsh (to cheat), and do not be jealous of one another and do not hate one another, and do not desert (stop talking to) one another. And O, Allah`s worshipers! Be brothers!”

     Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 008 Book No. 073 Hadith No. 092

     and also it has also been reported that the prophet sallalahu ‘alayhi wasalaam said do not tell me any thing about my companions for I want to meet them with a clean heart.

     The enemies of Islam are trying to place mistrust in our midst and will only succeed if we let them. They’ve tried it true the media and are still doing it through all means available to them.

     Let us remember the story of the sahaba who passed by the prophet sallalahu ‘alayhi wasalaam and his companions and he sallalahu ‘alayhi wasalaam said the man was one of the people of paradise. A companion went to his house, lived with him for 3 days and did not see any thing magnificent in his habits. He didn’t fast everyday, didn’t observe tahagud all night. so what was so special about him- it was his heart. he never goes to bed at night until he asks for forgiveness from anyone he has offended and likewise forgives anyone who has offended him. This is just a reminder to me and to all my brothers and sisters. (as prophet Ibrahim alayhi salaam said when he was about to be ‘burnt’ in the fire) HASBUNAALLAHU WANI’MALWAKIIL

     and Allah will give victory to the believers.

     Quick question:

     Say there is a person who would take about 6 months to make Hijrah Feesabilah. They are fairly broke, but they know of some sisters who would look for a future mujahid insha’Allah for a husband. Should such a person wait until they are in the land of jihad to get married, or should they take a sister along with them even though her life will be harsh most likely?

     Sorry but I think that you mean that the defeceit (the amount of money ADDED to the debt THIS YEAR) is a trillion dollars.. the total debt that U.S. claims is I think around 11 trillion now.. but the number that the say publically is not accurate and doesn’t include for the interest that has accrued on the debt over the years among other things… they say the real number is something like 56 trillion dollars which is 300% of the total GDP of the U.S. economy (which is something like 13 trillion a year) here is a link on the 56 trillion number

     I think when you said ‘debt’ you meant ‘defeceit’.. because the defeceit (which is the amount of debt accumalted during THIS YEAR’s budget) is around one trillion dollars… but America’s national debt is somewhere at 11 trillion dollars now OFFICIALLY but in reality the debt is much higher than the number they promote because the 10-11 trillion dollar number does not include the interest on the debt which has accumalted over the years (not to mention the interests rates have been increasing due to the fact that many burrowers do not think that the U.S. can pay them back.. anyways the real debt is somewhere around 56 TRILLION DOLLARS here is a link talking about it here… which is 300% of United State’s total nationl GDP (which is around 13 trillion)

Allah(SWT) say’s And what is with you that you do not fight in the path of God and (in the path) of the oppressed of men and women and children, those who say “Our Sustainer, take us out from this city, its people are wrongdoers, and decree for us a protector, and decree for us a helper”. – Surah an-Nisa verse 75.

     As-Salamu’alaikum. Sister Umm ‘Umar, JazakALLAH Khair for your naseehah. I concede your point you made earlier. You are right, the great majority of the lions who have volunteered to go and travel to fight feesabeeLILLAH are indeed brothers from the arab world. They have fought courageeously for our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechniya, Iraq, Kosova, etc. One such lion who InshaALLAH is in the heart of a green bird in Jannah is Ibn Khattab, from the Arabian Peninsula. However, the Muslims of Palestine need to throw off the shackles of nationalism, especially since they have been fighting zionist occupation for over 60 years. Somalia was not fought for 60 years, Chechniya was not fought for 60 years, Afghanistan lasted barely 10 years against the cursed communist russians, and (along with Iraq) definitely won’t last 60 years against the spineless, gutless, pathetic yankees. Once the niyaah has been purified, and the right actions according to the Sunnah are set in motion, victory becomes inevitable. As I mentioned earlier, the Palestinians need all the help they need to defend themselves against the descendants of apes and swine, but if we are to achieve victory and liberate Jerusalem (again), then we need to fix our mistakes (serious ones at that, since these are EXACTLY the same crimes our leaders in other countries are guilty of). Loving christians (US, EU), and hating jews (Israel) like the Saudi’s and other arab leaders will not bring victory from ALLAH. We need to wake up, and see things as they are, and InshaALLAH correct our ways. Then and only then can we expect victory.
     Was-Salamu’alaikum.

     Assalaamualaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuhu to Everyone.
     Shaykh, That was an awesome document tackling questions about Jihad from almost every angle. Already your name sprawls all over google, muslim sites around the globe wait eagerly for you to publish your articles so that they can convey the truth to the masses. Here in the UK you’ve got a massive following of youth that are questioning the islam that they have been brought up upon against the Islam they see before them conveyed through teachings from yourself and other pious scholars on the right path. I myself have found myself in a similar situation. I know that this has nothing to do with the topic of Jihad, and I apologise to the brothers and sisters here for taking up space more than neccesary and posting this message as part of the comment. Upto very recently, I have been brought upto follow the teachings of a masjid and local ulema with links to Darul-U-Loom Deoband, they follow Tableeghi Jamaat Teachings. By the grace of ALmighty Allah I have recently gained more and more exposure to articles of Ibn Taymiyyah, Sheikh Uthaymeen, Sheikh Bin Baz and the current Grand Mufti of Saudi Sheikh Al-Ashaykh. I may be wrong, but I though it best that the next step was to direct some questions that I had about Islam and practices direct to Saudi Scholars of this calibre, so as to strictly stay away from the innovations practiced by friends and family, influencing me upon the previous path. One thing that has frustrated me recently is the flurry of artcles from the KSA available over the internet, from saudi scholars claiming that there is no justification of Jihad in places like Iraq or Gaza in current times, that if Hamas continue their supposed pointless launching of rocket after rocket, that would only propel a massive jewish military response time after time and would inevitably kill hundred of more muslims and thus this fight by groups like Hams is not Jihad but reactionary action? I am struggling to undertsand the saudi position on Jihad against the citations made in your document (as always, well worded and cited), also I am struggling to understand how if Jihad is valid in its physical form, how can it be carried out without inflicting physical casulaties on surrounding innocents against the saudi fatawas that csay that suicide bombings and martyrdom operations killing innocents are haraam. Please can you clarify for me, I don’t have a great deal of understanding, It also suffices to say that I am quite weak in some departments but I am trying to follow the correct path and gain a better undertsanding of what is required and which path/belief/aqeedah to follow. I apologise if I have waffled on.

     I’ve put a comment on here a few times but for some reason it is not showing up?!? anyways what i was saying is that the American deficit is around 1 trillion dollars (the deficit is the debt ADDED to the total national debt of ONE year) the national debt itself is very large 10-11 trillion dollars is what they show publically but in reality that number does not include all of the interest that has accumulated on the debt over all of these years, and interest rates have been going up because people do not want to loan the U.S. gov’t money because they do not know if they will get paid back. Anyways the real number of the national debt is around 56 trillion dollars!! which is 300% of total U.S. GDP (which is around 13 trillion a year) here are some links related to the subject

     Interogation:-

     casual interogation techniques. These are conducted by agents from all of the intelligence service. They pose as travelling IT analysts,as charity workers, NGO’s etc etc.. and sit next to you on the plane or train etc.

     How it works they use a technique called disengagement. They will strike up a conversation with the Muslim about a topic such as I am thinking about Islam, but I would like to know more. As a person concerned with making dawah you will no doubt rise to the opportunity to save someone from the hell fire. Then it begins and goes something like this.

     “Oh, I see you are eating vegetarian, so am I. Are you a vegetarian?

     No, I am not I’m a Muslim.

     Yes, I saw the book you were reading earlier and I want to ask you about Islam as I am at the crossroads in my life. I am 40 something etc etc. How old are you? (This is question 1) If you answer then it begins. If not they follow a flow chart system and go back to talk generally about other things and let you tell them about Islam.

     Then I am (whatever they decide to call themselves) what’s your name? Abu so and so…Oh is that what Muslim have to call themselves or do you have another name. (This question may come after about 10 mins of chatting. They will have worked out how long they have to question you by the length of the flight and will fit all the questions into the time frame accordingly. It is called disengagement because 95% of the conversation is based on general things with 5% being on personal questions) By the end of the flight or train journey or meal they have everything but your shoe size HA ha!

     It is normally carried out with foreign brothers and sisters travelling from place to place.

     The defence: The alarm bells should go off the first time you are asked for anything that remotely resembles a personal questions that is pertinent to you. Happy travelling inshallah

     The U.S. gov’t’s deficit for the year 2008 is about one trillion dollars (the deficit is the amount of debt of ONE YEAR ADDED to the total debt) The U.S. national total debt is publically stated to be around 10-11 trillion dollars.. however that number is not accurate.. the real number of the debt including interest which has accumulated over the years is 56 TRILLION DOLLARS!!! Here are some links talking about the subject which is more than 300% of the total GDP of United States (which is 13 trillion dollars) and the actual revenue of United States (The money that United States makes to actually spend) is way lower than that… but here are some links on the subject

234. Gaza genocide 101 says:
     January 10, 2009 - السبت 14 محرم 1430 at 8:14 am

     “There are people (Muslims) who control spacious territories teeming with manifest and hidden resources. They dominate the intersections of world routes. Their lands were the cradles of human civilizations and religions. These people have one faith, one language, one history and the same aspirations. No natural barriers can isolate these people from one another … if, per chance, this nation were to be unified into one state, it would then take the fate of the world into its hands and would separate Europe from the rest of the world. Taking these considerations seriously, a foreign body should be planted in the heart of this nation to prevent the convergence of its wings in such a way that it could exhaust its powers in never-ending wars. It could also serve as a springboard for the West to gain its coveted objects.” Prime Minister Henry Bannerman, Campbell-Bannerman Report, 1907

     The terrorist state of Israel has launched what can only be described as a massacre against the Muslims of Gaza. Israeli officials have been leaking information for nearly two weeks about an impending invasion where nobody would be spared. In one leak to the media an Israeli official mentioned Israel was waiting for the right weather conditions to begin the massacre.

     Israel launched the war in the early hours of Saturday 27th December during the morning rush hour.

     The first strikes came in a coordinated three-minute blitz with 60 F-16 fighter jets pounding over 50 targets, aimed primarily at taking out what remains of Gaza’s crumbling infrastructure. The second wave of strikes targeted HAMAS compounds (it should be remembered such compounds due to the size of Gaza are amidst the normal populace.) In the first hour of strikes over 155 people were confirmed dead as bodies continued to be dumped at hospitals.

     As the sun set on Gaza it is likely Israel will continue with strikes throughout the night by its drones. At the current rate Israel will run out of targets and bring Gaza to its knees. Israeli tanks are on standby surrounding Gaza for what looks like a possible ground invasion. Israeli officials continued to reiterate that this is only the beginning, Israeli’s defence Minster confirmed, “the time to fight in Gaza has come and the operation won’t be short, the operation will widen as necessary.”

     Israel justified its current slaughter as a response to an apparent escalation in rocket attacks from Gaza. Israel’s Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni defended the air raids, saying Israel had “no choice”. “We’re doing what we need to do to defend our citizens,” she said in a television broadcast. Israel has accused HAMAS since it won the election over 18 months ago of being backed by Iran and regularly launching Qassam rockets into Israel.

     Israel however conveniently accuses HAMAS of being a radical Islamist group that works to wipe Israel of the planet whilst it blockades Gaza. Israel has regularly closed the border crossings into the Gaza strip, which has led to mass starvation. Over the past month, the border crossings have been open for just five days. John Ging, head of the UN’s Gaza relief operations, confirmed that more than a million people in Gaza depended on the United Nations for their next meal. He described the dire situation as: “Daily life is a struggle to survive. People were hungry, literally. There was a shortage of everything here, including food, and we actually ran out for a couple of days, the fact that it continues to get worse and worse adds to the despair… so we’re searching desperately for reasons to have realistic hope.”

     Politics

     The response from the world has been predictable. Israel continues to be the spoilt child of the West. Britain’s Gordon Brown in an interview for the BBC said he was “deeply concerned,” but then called on Palestinian militants to halt all rocket attacks on Israel, even though Palestine was being invaded and Muslims slaughtered.

     The response from the Muslim rulers who have historically done little when Muslims are being slaughtered was predictability muted. Egypt which shares a border with the Gaza strip had been holding talks with Tzipi Livni to broker a ceasefire over the past few weeks. HAMAS withdrew from the ceasefire, as it viewed a truce was irrelevant when Israel was blockading Gaza. Relations between Egypt and Gaza strained due to this. It is also widely understood that the Egyptians are furious with Hamas for boycotting peace talks with Fatah last month, which were due to be held in Cairo. Hosni Mubarak was reported in the Arab media of accusing HAMAS of making a big mistake in abandoning the ceasefire. The London-based newspaper Al-Quds al-Arabi reported that Egypt would not object to a limited Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip, aimed at toppling Hamas. Tzipi Livni travelled to the Egyptian capital at the personal invitation of the government. This is rare given that Hosni Mubarak usually only meets Israeli officials in the Sinai resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

     In an Al-Jazeera interview Azzam Tamimi, director of the Institute of Islamic Political Thought and expert on the Palestinian issue described what he saw as: “I suspect that the operation is not only intended to be limited, but aimed at toppling the regime in Gaza altogether, otherwise why would Israel target the police force? “They are not the ones firing missiles in Israel – the police force keeps the order in Gaza. This is an operation that will create disorder and I suspect that Egypt and Ramallah are colluding in this. “Israel would never have carried out such a massive attack had it not been for a green light from people that matter – for instance the United States, some of the European powers and also from Egypt and Ramallah.

     Israel uses Muslims as pawns

     Israel’s domestic political scene has been anything but stable for over a year and is at the heart of Israel’s opportunistic assault on Gaza. Since the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, which Israel is regarded to have lost by Israelis, Ehud Olmert the Israeli prime minister along with a number of other officials were disgraced by such an event and a number of other scandals, where public pressure forced him to stand down as head of the ruling Kadima party. His replacement Tzipi Livni, has been unable to keep together the fragile coalition that makes up the government and due to this she has been forced to call an election which will take place in February 2009. She is in no position to win against the popular Benjamin Netanyahu of the right wing Likud party. Netanyahu has made very clear in his election manifesto that he would topple HAMAS.

     Polls on the eve of Israel’s assault confirmed the centre right Kadima was gaining ground against Likud and the timing of the assault shows this grotesque act is nothing but an attempt by Tzipi Livni to salvage electoral points for the upcoming election. With the US occupied with the transfer of power from the Bush administration to Obama’s, Israel can freely carry out its murder of innocent Muslims for gains at the electoral polls safe in the knowledge that the US has other preoccupations.

     Conclusion

     Israel has shown once again that it has no regard for Muslim life as it butchers Muslims in Gaza, after blockading and starving them for months for some gains at the electorate. The Muslim rulers have shown once again that they are spineless in defending the honour and blood of the Ummah. They forget when the Messenger صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم was standing in the vicinity of the ka’ba, admiring its grandeur, he صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: “The blood of a Muslim is worth more than the Ka’ba and all its surroundings.”

     Saudi Arabia that for years was the world’s largest purchaser of military equipment sits idle when Muslims are being massacred just a stones throw away. It should be remembered that the Israeli superiority bubble burst in 2006 when Hizbollah effectively defeated Israel. In the report by the Israeli government-appointed commission into the conflict, it listed a series of severe failings and shortcomings, it fundamentally concluded that the Israeli armed forces were not designed for guerrilla type warfare and ground assaults. A paramilitary group of Muslims with Iman in Allah سبحانه وتعالى, held an army backed by a government at bay. Israel’s first large scale ground assault after nearly three decades exposed their weakness and burst its superiority bubble.

     Any army from the Muslim world can end the massacre in Palestine. The armies in the Arab world must stand up, unite and complete their duty to Allah سبحانه وتعالى in saving the lives of the Muslims of Palestine.

     This is not the time for meetings, summits and ceasefires. Israel has once again spilt Muslim blood and Allah سبحانه وتعالى has designated Jihad as the solution to such cowardly acts. Only by establishing the Khilafah can the Muslim armies be liberated and the obstacles in the path of conducting Jihad in Palestine and making Allah’s word the highest in the land be realised.

     The armies should take heed from Allah سبحانه وتعالى when He سبحانه وتعالى says:

     “They are not equal from amongst the believers who sit (at home) and receive no harm, compared to those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah has granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who do not fight.” [An-Nisaa:95]

     Assalamuailakum wr wb,

     Al-Bukhari also reported in his Sahih (Authentic Collection of Hadith) that Ibn Mas`ud asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “O Allah’s Messenger! What are the best deeds?” The Prophet replied, “Performing prayer on time.” Ibn Mas`ud asked, “Then what?” The Prophet said: “Obeying one’s parents.” Ibn Mas`ud said, “Then what?” The Prophet said, “Jihad.”

     Wouldn’t this Hadith make Jihad the 3rd best deed and not the first?

     Abu Hanifa mentioned above that he had a problem downloading this article. I was able to provide him a copy, but how many other brothers missed out on obtaining a copy. While Broken links and busy servers are not uncommon in cyberspace, I couldn’t help but wonder if, given this week’s events, it was something more . . .

     Question,

     Just to answer your question as briefly as possible. You reasoned yourself into an answer that justified the Sheikh’s position. Maybe you should read your own post again.

     The simple fact is Islam is under attack not just a particular area, therefore the normal fiqh of Qital is not applied in the way that you have done, which masha’allah, is correct. Where you went wrong was the reality analysis. Good Fiqh bad analysis of reality, therefore incorrect conclusion. The deen is the highest maqasid and itself is under attack therefore the Sheikh’s conclusion is correct. All the mathahibs would agree with this conclusion because it is the deen itself which under attack. There is nothing more valuable than the deen itself. And Allah knows best!

Walahi if we want to be success in the akhira then we have to stop fooling ourselves by following our desires. And follow what Allah and his Rasul (saw) have told us to do. And that is how the Sahabas (ra) succeded the first thing in their agenda was obeying Allah and his Rasul (saw) and not their desires the down fall of this ummah is the following of desires, sins and imitating the kufar in either wearing the clothing their wear or speak like them or behave like them. Brothers and Sisters this is a reminder to me first and I would like to share it with you all amd may Allah help us all from falling in the trap of the Shaytan and may Allah shower his mercy and victory the Muslim Ummah. Please remember the Mujahideen were ever there are and may Allah shower them with his protection and give them victory our the enemies of Allah.

     If anyone can give an answer to Zakariya’s question,I’m sure it would be beneficial to many:

     Say there is a person who would take about 6 months to make Hijrah Feesabilah. They are fairly broke, but they know of some sisters who would look for a future mujahid insha’Allah for a husband. Should such a person wait until they are in the land of jihad to get married, or should they take a sister along with them even though her life will be harsh most likely?

     I want to comment on the person who said we should not ’single-out’ any companies to boycott but we should just boycott all the Israeli-American companies with intention to please Allah swt without caring about results..?!? Are you serious? FIrst of all attacking the wealth of the enemy is an incredibly important part of jihad (many of the highest commanding mujahadeen have called for boicotts) and yes of course the utlitmate aim is to please Allah swt but of course muslimeen should always prepare as well as they can and then implement the best plan possible with trust in allah swt… relying on allah swt does not mean sitting in a chair doing nothing… honestly i am sincerly wondering about the al-iklas behind your comment to be honest.. which is off the point but either way of course muslimeen should devise the most affective plan (which will earn good deeds by itself inshallah) to attack the wealth of al-yahood and then implement inshallah and ask allah swt to give us victory

     January 10, 2009 - السبت 14 محرم 1430 at 4:59 pm

     So i am going to reiterate the comment i said before.. instead of saying a generalized statement of ‘muslimeen need to boycott all zionist products’ without giving an effective plan of action will result with little to no results.. why? Because there are a large variety of companies that are zionist and many muslimeen do not know which ones to boycott and which ones not to. Also there are so many on a practical level in countries that are domninated by the commerce of al-yahood it would be nearly impossible to avoid ALL PRODUCTS (and of course countries in the West very difficult as well) So to concentrate the energy of the umma we should focus on a few companies at a time… and i think the results would be fast and furious.. which would pick up momentoum to continue and eventually boycott all products… but first we need to concentrate ourselves.. seriously and there is nothing illegal in boycotting.. every sister and brother no matter what age or circumstances can join in.. boycott at this point really should be something absolutely mandatory on all muslimeen and it is sad how much the commerce of the enemies of Islam are completely dominate over muslimeen all over the world… quite honestly there is only one word for it ‘pathetic’

245. Salah says:
     January 10, 2009 - السبت 14 محرم 1430 at 5:06 pm

     So what i suggest is that how about we target a well know zionist organization ‘Starbucks’ which is already on the verge of failure.. and unfortunately there is one right across the street of al-haram (’pathetic’ dont you think?) plus there has been some Masod agents that have had the odasity to come on here and pretend that they are muslimeen in order to spread false propaganda about starbucks in particular… so how about we just help Starbucks with a lil push to ensure its collapse??? SOunds like a good idea no? Seriously ya sheikh please inshallah if you think this is a good idea publically denounce starbucks.. tell shookh about it… and me personally and others can start sending chain emails and i am pretty sure there at least will not be a starbucks across the street of al-haram anymore inshallah

     @ Saajid

     There are plenty ahadeeth were a sahabah would ask our beloved messenger (saw) what the best deed is. He (saw) would respond according to what would be the best deed for that specific individual. For example, if an elderly person were to ask him (saw), he (saw) would say something along the lines of dhikr and not Jihad because an elderly person can’t fight Jihad. For a child it could be praying on time and obedience to parents. For a wealthy person it could be sadaqah, and so on. Forgive my mistakes and Allah (swt) knows best.

     Wa aliakum as salam wr wb,

     To Saajid.

     If you do some research on ahadith, you will realize that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked similar questions many times and he would give a different answer.The answer depended on who was asking the question and the general circumstances at that time and so all these Ahadith do not contradict each other.Some deeds become more preferable in certain circumstances.For example,if you go on Hajj or Umrah,it is better for you to do Tawaf than to recite the Qur’an or to do other good deeds.This is because the time and place you can do Tawaf is more limited.

     So you have to consult your heart and ask yourself;there are many types of good deeds but you should choose that which is most preferred according to the situation.I don’t need to tell you about the current situation of the Muslims as you are well aware of that.Consider also that the highest among the Maqaasid of the Shariah (goals and purposes of the Shariah) is to preserve the Deen and Allah knows best.

     Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatu Allah wa barakatuh,

     Just a thought regarding security on your PC. I was going to computer tech courses when an instructor who talked way too much mentioned something that stuck in my mind. He said that the computers they were making included a bug that allowed the government access anytime, to everything you do on your PC. This was about 10 years ago, so I’m sure their tech is much more advanced.

     Your best option is to have your own pc cutom built by someone you trust. I wouldn’t trust that either, I’ve been accused of being super paranoid. My opinion is we have no idea what kind of inventions the government is keeping from us, and this bug can be in any hardware part.

     Also, I heard somewhere that there is a bug installed in cell phones that even if you have yours turned off, they can tune in to hear you. I would suggest that if you have something private to say or do, avoid anything that is electronic (again, been accused of being paranoid, but it’s just a nagging feeling). We had an alarm installed in our house, and I was suspicious of that device as well.

     Anyway, I think if THEY want to accuse you of something wether you’re involved or not, they will frame you.

     As of today, more than 800 brothers and sisters are killed in Palestine and more than 3300 injured. May Allah accept them as Shaheed.
     US is the only nation who was abstanied from UN resolution for ceasefire.
     The US House of Representatives has voted to endorse a resolution backing Israel in its offensive in Gaza by 390 votes to five.
     The only so called “Muslim” Congress man voted as present( among 22 members) which means that he is not against or favor of this resolution. Subhanallah!!
     How can you stay in neutral in this grave situation!!
     Now one of the muslim organizations is inviting him as chief guest for fund raising for Gaza!! Everything is upside down.

     The facts that I present above is just to emphasis that we are not helping our Mujahideen or supporting Jihad rather we are working against it in some way or the other.
     I am living in united states and having all the luxuries that a man can think of and I am really ashamed of myself living here and working against our brothers and sisters who are suffering in Palestine!
     Our Tax money is going directly to Israel to kill our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

     It’s so Irony that we condemn US, do protest in the street( worst is that it has to be polite, silent protest without mentioning some facts in banner, Kuffars might dislike it) but never think to leave this so called heavenly luxury and fight side by side with our brothers and sisters in Palestine.If not, atleast we can take few lessons from Sheikh’s 44 tips and implement Inshallah!!

     @GAZA 101- Bismillah May Allah reward you for the article it summarises the whole sad sorry episode.

     If we go a little deeper we can see that Hamas has little or no Governmental friends inside Egypt as they are hated and so the Egyptian government will be happy if Hamas is thrown out of the GAza strip. Fateh will also be happy as they can then move in subjugate the people and claim more internal security fees from Israel/US.

     If we look at Jordan, they are hardly likely to do anything militarily being the biggest torturer for the Americans along with Egypt.

     In Jordan they like to hang the brothers from the tops of ladders by a limb or limbs then topple the ladder over and you break the fall by whatever body part hits in the floor. How nice! One of our brothers lost all his teeth may Allah reward him with what is better inshallah.

     In Syria they like to employ the banana split (translated directly from the Arabic) which first bends the person one way and then the other effectively breaking the back if taken all the way.

     In Egypt as in Saudi they like to use dogs in a darkened room. Not to mention tauting the brothers with comments like I am from the father of abu Jahl.(May the curse of Allah be always be upon him). I remember meeting one brother from dammam who was covered in burns all over his legs. when I asked him what had happened he said nothing. Later I inquired from another brother who told me that while in the prison in Dahamam he had been burnt during interogation sessions.

     In emirates you have one of the shaikhs who likes to film himself torturing people and then replay it later to get kicks out of it. (There is a link to the video on the web when I get it I will post it inshallah)

     All in all if Hamas are hoping for any help from the so called Muslim rulers then they will be waiting a long time. Hamas is just too islamic for the surrounding governments who see any further increase in their power as a possible destabiliser to their own little worthless empires. They have sold the verses of Allah for a miserable price.

Our struggle can be extremely difficult at times almost unbearable but sah’pon Allah we always manage to pass by and then theres the brief moments of total connection with our creator that surpass any pleasure of the duniah and you want to hold onto them and always feel that intense high and sense of belonging only to most Gracious Allah but alas Allah keeps us desiring more so this duniah becomes irrelivant and the pleasure of Allah is a constant need that shouldnt be lost for even a second The Arabic language is incrediable to say the least. Allahs names alone are all embracing theres a name for every occassion .Allahs attributes are mind boggling our knowledge minute to fully comprehend the Majesty of our Inspiring Gracious Lord . You , who know the language, I dont mean just speak it but deeply understand it are so fortunate and blessed as Arabic by itself is a marvel of creation . Allah truely blessed the Arabs dont take the language for granted because theres nothing more pleasing to the senses than a beautiful recitation of the irresistable Quran , its another delightful breath of paradise on earth

     Mistake:- father should read family of Abu Jahl.

     I have heard more harrowing tales than this but is not the time to talk about the issues. If you don’t know then educate yourself. Most governments are secular and some of them are not even ruled by Muslims, so which secular run army will come to the aid of our brothers and sisters.

     Anyway we are the media for no media will write what we are writing. We have to be the voice of Jihad if we can’t be there then we can support it in many other ways and this is one.

     I know of brothers who would clean the toilets at night when the others were sleeping and keep it secret until they were from the first to be given shaheed. Only after when the ones left behind would start to enquire as to why they had won favour with Allah, would someone say oh he use to clean the toilets or I saw him one night cleaning the toilets or something similar.

     Brothers use to sleep on the front line and when they were asked to leave they would beg to stay for what they saw in their dreams.

     One night a brother had a dream that he saw a mountain of light and two men came to him in white and asked them what is that light coming from the mountain. He was told that is for the shuhada. Every brother who knows this story knows what happened next!

     The night after the enemy carried out an ambush as the muslims prepared to move into place and caught them unawares. Light went up into the sky just like the dream the whole mountain was lit up. Many brothers were injured and many others killed.

     One doctor told the tale that people would see the most beautiful women they had ever seen. When asked to describe them his answer was this; If you took all the beauty of all the women in this world and had in one women he would not equal anything to what you saw. we understood that he was one of those who saw these women of paradise. The same brother was studying medicine in Europe he had completed four years and when he heard about the jihad he gave it up and left to serve the mujahideen.

     We hope that one day we will be the ones who are like them inshallah.

     Bismillah, As salaam alikeum wa rahmatullah.

     Israel is following the Fallujah plan as it continues it attacks on the Muslims of Gaza.

     After Grozny the west studied the reasons for failure on the part of the Red army and then came up with ways to circumvent such a failure reoccuring.

     The result is total annihilation and this is why the mujahideen withdrew from Fallujah as they were fully cognizant of the fact that the Kuffar would not fight withinside the rules that they themselves had set which is the geneva convention.

     They used phosporous not for marking or screening troops, but as a direct way to target the Mujahideen. Phosphorus as we all know from our days as chemical students burns on contact with air and in a ferocious manner. The only way to stop it is to immerse it fully in water. It sticks to anything that it touches and immediately sets about burning whatever it is in contact with until the chemical is depleted due to exposure to the air. Therefore if it touches cloth it will burn right through and then the skin and continue until done.

     We must all remember the famous picture from the Vietnam war in which the young girl is running down the road naked and with burns all down her body. Well! that is good old phosphorus. The idea is to take the fight out of Hamas by having the rest of the population turn against them.

     Anyway this is nothing new as we still have shantilla and sabra to remember in which the IDF surrounded the two camps then let the druze go in and massacre the unarmed population with knifes intially and when time was running out they resorted to guns.

     We only have to remember Seven thousand Bosnian men and boys executed at Sebreniza in 1995.

     Or should we forget about Kosovo, Chechenya not to mention the massacre in Gujarat 2002. If that doesn’t move us that we have Kashmir and Afghanistan. We can also add to the list Burma where the Rohingya Muslim are being slowly wiped out. I am sure that I have missed many more conflicts such as the recent one in Vietnam that was reported via a BBC documentary where Christian Militias were rounding up Muslims and killing them. The most amazing thing is that when one of the Militia was questioned he said, “Yes, I have eaten Muslim ears many times, but don’t think badly of me I am not a desperate person” or something very similar to what I have reported. While the majority of the Militia were using old firearms you have to ask yourself where did the others get the latest hi-tech weapons with sighting systems that cost a small fortune . They were cruising in the latest models of 4×4. Interesting i hope someone can answer.

     Or shall we just all go back to sleep, believe the world when it tells us it is not an attack on Islam or Muslims.

     May Allah protect us all as reported by Hudaifah ibn al yaman in sahih muslim (part of the hadith) there wouldn’t be a time but the time after would be worse.

     or

     in bukhari, when you hold onto the tails of cows and indulge in aynah. Allah will cover you in humilation and not remove it until you return to the deen.

     May Allah help us to understand this beautiful deen and understand who the true enemies are.

     as salaam alikeum wa rahmatullah

     What is the meaning of Jihad?

     The meaning of Jihad in the Webster Dictionary: is Holy war. The meaning of “Crusade” is also Holy war. Entire humanity knows—historically both “Jihad” and “Crusade” was soaked with blood. Now why then we are debating and trying to redefine Jihad at this juncture?

     Now in the Arabic language the word “Jihad” literally means, “to strive,” and “to struggle.” Some Muslim scholars further classify Jihad into following categories: 1. Jihad-an-nafs or Jihad against one’s self; 2. Jihad ash-shaitaan or Jihad against Satan; 3. Jihad al-kuffar or Jihad against disbeliever; 4. Jihad al-munafiqeen or Jihad against hypocrites; 5. Jihad al-faasiqeen or Jihad against corrupt Muslims. Now, can we make people fool by these semantic loopholes of the various meanings of Jihad? Certainly not!

     Honestly, I am not very much impressed by the various bookish meanings of the Arabic word “Jihad.” We know very well that in every language certain words may have many different meanings depending on its usage. That does not mean one can elude people the actual meaning of the word with some different meanings of a particular word. Because the word meaning is always understood by its practical or circumstantial use only. Consider the word Jihad that means struggle. This struggle may have various circumstantial effects. Struggle can be in your mind, in your own life, in your work, in your way to office with the traffic, or struggle may be fighting with the enemy. You can say: “I am fighting with my mind whether I should accept it or not,” or “I am fighting with my wife over the decision of changing our house” or you can say—“I am fighting a war with my enemy.” Now, a simple human being will see the meaning of the word “fight” (usual meaning of which is armed collision) varies greatly with it’s circumstantial use.

     Sometimes the actual meaning of a particular word may even change by the circumstantial use. Consider the Perso-Indian (Urdu) word “Razakar” means “helper of King.” However, by its circumstantial and historical use, the meaning may have changed greatly. In 1971, Bangalee’s freedom struggle (War of Freedom or Muktijuddha) the Razakars killed, raped, and tortured millions of freedom loving Bangalees. Now, in Bangladesh, calling some body a Razakar is not salutary, but on the contrary it is an epithet or it is an outright demeaning, to put it mildly. If you call somebody Razakar, he may come to physically assault you. Why? The circumstantial and historical effects have changed the meaning and nuances of the word Razakar from helper to vile conspirator and Fifth Columnist. That is a valid reason why we must take the meaning of Jihad from its historical and circumstantial effects. I shall search for the meaning of the Jihad from its (a) History, (b) Qur’an referrals, (c) Hadiths’ mentioning of it, and (d) Historians and Islamic scholars interpretation of it.

     A. Historical meaning of Jihad:

     Historically, Jihad means Holly War (Dharma Juddha in Bangla). For 1400 years, Muslims always understood the meaning of Jihad as Islamic Holy War. Every Islamic scholar, Mullah, maulana, Imam, etc., of the whole world will agree with this meaning of Jihad. Technically, Jihad is war against non-Muslims (Jihad al-kuffar or Jihad against disbeliever; and Jihad al-munafiqeen or Jihad against hypocrites) only, since Muslims are forbidden to fight the Muslims. Hundreds of books were written by the Islamic scholars (Islamic Chintabid) on Jihad and everybody unanimously used the word Jihad as the religious war called holy war (Dharma Juddha). In the Islamic history, more than 80% of the texts are filled with Holy War (Jihad). Early Islam was spread in the Arabian Peninsula solely by holy wars (Jihad). Islam was propagated as a religion by series of wars/battles –both defensive as well as Offensive. As many as 78 historic battles were fought by the Prophet Muhammad himself. And out of 78, only one (battle of ditch) was defensive war, and the rest were simply offensive wars. Did Muslim soldiers go to Syria, Iran, and Egypt to fight defensive war? What about those great historical BATTLES – Battle of Oho’d, Battle of Bad’r, Battle of Khayber, signing of peace-pacts such as “Hudaibya Peace Pact,” etc.? Were those wars fought with the so-called struggle only? Alternatively, were those wars fought with the heart-piercing sharpened swords?

     Prophet Mohammed and his successors initiated series of offensive wars against pagan Arabs, Jews, Christians, etc., to spread or to impose Islam by force as well as to seize the abundance (booty) of these lands. However, it was quite possible that there had been some small numbers of conversions by sheer greatness of Prophet himself or due to some other miracles. Nevertheless, a great majority was converted by force, and people of Arabia did not have freedom to choose. After Prophet Muhammad gained enough might in his force while in Medina, the tradition was to send an invitation of Islam to various Arab Tribes or countries. First, an invitation to pagans to accept Islam, then war against those who refuse to accept Islam. A typical invitation to the people of the book (Christians and Jews) was: “Embrace Islam, or pay the poll-tax (Ziziya), or fight to death.” Undoubtedly, the concept of an offensive war to spread the faith of Islam is a genuine Islamic concept: Holy War (Jihad) for the sake of God. I can write hundreds of pages of authentic Islamic history of wars in which tens of thousands of life was lost; tons of human bloods were shed.

     Prophet Muhammad was injured seriously (lost some teeth) in one of those wars he fought relentlessly. Prophet’s uncle Amir Hamzah was killed and dismembered and his liver and heart were eaten by the wife of a pagan tribe leader Abu Sufian. Now may I ask what kind of so-called “struggle” might have caused these above misery? It was obviously by Jihad (Holy War) and not by any peaceful struggle, indeed.

     B. What Qur’an Says about Jihad?

     Jihad was mentioned in the Qur’an most frequently with the meaning of “warfare,” often coupled with “fi sabil Allah” (in the way of Allah). Jihad as warfare is a pivotal concern for the Qur’an, the Hadith and the Shari‘ah which we shall explore later in this essay.

     All most all the hateful, coercive, intimidating and tempting verses in the Quran were made in respect to the Jihad—Holy war.

     Important to note: Prophet Muhammad while he was in Mecca did not have too many supporters; hence, he was very weak in power compare to the Pagans. It was at that time he brought some soft verses (maximum one dozen in the whole Qur’an) which our hypocritical Islamists use them to elude the truth of Islam. But in Medina Muhammad quickly assumed both religious and political power and leadership over the whole Median community. It was at that time he brought all those harsh/hateful (several hundreds of them) Qur’anic verses just to incite his followers to fight.

     In the Holy Qur’an one can find hundreds of verses (Ayats) which dictates to fight holy wars (Jihad) against non-Muslims infidels. Let me cite here a few of them:

     Qur’an-(9:5): “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, And seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) ; but if they repent (accept Islam) and establish regular prayers and practices regular charity then open the way for them; for God is oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.”

     Qur’an-(8:65): “ O Apostle ! Rouse the believers to the fight, if there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering , they will vanquish two hundred; if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the unbelievers; for these are a people without understanding.”

     Quran-2:216: Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you

     Qur’an-(2:191): “And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out………such is the reward of those who suppress faith.”

     Qur’an-(9:29): “Fight those who believe not the Allah nor the last day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of truth even if they are the people of the book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

     Qur’an(48:20): “….Allah promises you much booty (spoils of war) that you will capture from the defeated infidels….”

     Quran-8:38 “And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression”

     Quran-8:12: I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them

     Quran-8: 15,16: O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them. If any do turn his back to them on such a day – unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)!

     Quran-9:111: Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the

     Qur’anQuran-9:73: O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey’s end.

     Quran-9:123: O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).

     Quran-4:95: O ye who believe! Shall I show you a commerce that will save you from a painful doom? You should believe in Allah and His messenger, and should strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is better for you, if ye did but know. … Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than those who sit (at home).

     C. Jihad as per Hadiths:

     Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihad) was sanctioned widely in sahi hadiths. Almost one-third of the fourth of nine volumes of Bukhari, Islam’s principal collector of Hadith, focused on jihad as physical war. There are thousands of sahi hadiths that simply talk about Jihad—the holy war in Islam. I cannot include them all in this short essay in order to keep to a minimum. I will only mention however some of them in this essay. The following are a few examples:

     Sahi Bukhari# 35, page-102:

     Prophet Muhammad (sa) narrated, “ He who is out at war Allah becomes the protector for him. Because, he only joins the fight when he put his solid belief upon Allah and his Apostle. Allah provides him wealth and much booty (Maal-e-goni-mat) with which he returns home. Or, place him in the paradise by making him a Shaheed (martyrdom).

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 46:

     Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “The example of a Mujahid in Allah’s Cause– and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause—-is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty (maal-e-gani-maat).”

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 53:

     Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, “Nobody who dies and finds good from Allah (in the Hereafter) would wish to come back to this world even if he were given the whole world and whatever is in it, except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to come back to the world and get killed again (in Allah’s Cause).”

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 48:

     Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, “A single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah’s Cause in the afternoon or in the forenoon is better than all the world and whatever is in it. A place in Paradise as small as the bow or lash of one of you is better than all the world and whatever is in it. And if a houri from Paradise appeared to the people of the earth, she would fill the space between Heaven and the Earth with light and pleasant scent and her head cover is better than the world and whatever is in it.”

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 44:

     Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” He replied, “I do not find such a deed.” Then he added, “Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battle-field, enter your mosque to perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?” The man said, “But who can do that?” Abu- Huraira added, “The Mujahid (i.e. Muslim fighter) is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders bout (for grazing) tied in a long rope.”

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 49:

     Narrated Samura: The Prophet said, “Last night two men came to me (in a dream) and made me ascend a tree and then admitted me into a better and superior house, better of which I have never seen. One of them said, ‘This house is the house of martyrs.”

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 50:

     Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, “A single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah’s Cause in the forenoon or in the afternoon is better than the world and whatever is in it.”

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 42:

     Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: Allah’s Apostle said, “There is no Hijra (i.e. migration) (from Mecca to Medina) after the Conquest (of Mecca), but Jihad and good intention remain; and if you are called (by the Muslim ruler) for fighting, go forth immediately.

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 54:

     Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I would certainly never remain behind any Sariya’ (army-unit) setting out in Allah’s Cause. By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Al1ah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 55:

     Narrated Anas bin Malik: Prophet of Allah said, “Zaid took the flag and was martyred, and then Ja’far took the flag and was martyred, and then ‘Abdullah bin Rawaha took the flag and was martyred too, and then Khalid bin Al-Walid took the flag though he was not appointed as a commander and Allah made him victorious.” The Prophet further added, “It would not please us to have them with us.” Aiyub, a sub-narrator, added, “Or the Prophet, shedding tears, said, ‘It would not p ease them to be with us.”

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 61:

     Narrated Anas:

     My uncle Anas bin An-Nadr was absent from the Battle of Badr. He said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I was absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. (By Allah) if Allah gives me a chance to fight the pagans, no doubt. Allah will see how (bravely) I will fight.” On the day of Uhud when the Muslims turned their backs and fled, he said, “O Allah! I apologize to You for what these (i.e. his companions) have done, and I denounce what these (i.e. the pagans) have done.” Then he advanced and Sad bin Muadh met him. He said “O Sad bin Muadh ! By the Lord of An-Nadr, Paradise! I am smelling its aroma coming from before (the mountain of) Uhud,” Later on Sad said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I cannot achieve or do what he (i.e. Anas bin An-Nadr) did. We found more than eighty wounds by swords and arrows on his body. We found him dead and his body was mutilated so badly that none except his sister could recognize him by his fingers.”

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 63:

     Narrated Al-Bara: A man whose face was covered with an iron mask (i.e. clad in armor) came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first? “The Prophet said, “Embrace Islam first and then fight.” So he embraced Islam, and was martyred. Allah’s Apostle said, A Little work, but a great reward. “(He did very little (after embracing Islam), but he will be rewarded in abundance).”

     Sahi Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 64:

     Narrated Anas bin Malik: Um Ar-Rubai’bint Al-Bara’, the mother of Hartha bin Suraqa came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Prophet! Will you tell me about Hartha?” Hartha has been killed (i.e. martyred) on the day of Badr with an arrow thrown by an unidentified person. She added, “If he is in Paradise, I will be patient; otherwise, I will weep bitterly for him.” He said, “O mother of Hartha! There are Gardens in Paradise and your son got the Firdausal-ala (i.e. the best place in Paradise).” [What could be a bigger bluffing and exploitation of a poor ignorant mother (who lost her son in Jihad) by our merciful Prophet?]

     Mishkat al-Masabih, trans. by James Robson (Lahore: Ashraf, 1975) Vol. 1:807.

     Abu ‘Abs reported God’s messenger as saying, “No man whose feet become dusty in God’s path will be touched by hell.” Bukhari transmitted it.

     Mishkat al-Masabih, Vol. 1:814.

     Al-Miqdam b. Madikarib reported God’s messenger as saying, “The martyr receives six good things from God: he is forgiven at the first shedding of his blood, he is shown his abode in paradise, he is preserved from the punishment in the grave, he is kept safe from the greatest terror, he has placed on his head the crown of honour a ruby which is better than the world and what it contains, he is married to seventy-two wives of the maidens with large dark eyes, and is made intercessor for seventy of his relatives.” Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.

     D. Jihad as per Islamic-historians/Scholars/Philosophers:

     We can find hundreds of books written by well-known Islamic authorities (Islamic Chintabid or thinker) on Jihad. A few examples of historical events and comments should be enough to lay the foundation that Jihad in Islamic history was primarily a Holy War against the infidels. Here are some examples:

     In his book, “ Jurisprudence in Muhammad’s Biography” the Azhar scholar, Dr. Muhammad Sa’id Ramadan al-Buti wrote the following: “The Holy War (Islamic Jihad), as it is known in Islamic Jurisprudence, is basically an offensive war. This is the duty of Muslims in every age when the needed military power becomes available to them. This is the phase in which the meaning of Holy war has taken its final form. Thus the apostle of God said: ‘ I was commanded to fight the people until they believe in Allah and his messages…..(page 134, 7th edition) ”.

     Azhar scholar Dr. Buti adds in the same book (page-263): The apostle of Allah started to send military detachments from among his followers to the various Arab tribes which were scattered in the Arab Peninsula to carry out the task of calling (these tribes) to accept Islam. If they did not respond, they (Muslims) would kill them. That was during the 7th Hgira year. The number of the detachments amounted to ten.”

     The Baydawi quoted in his book (The lights of Revelation, page-252): “Fight Jews and Christians because they violated the origin of their faith and they do not believe in the religion of the truth (Islam), which abrogated all other religions. Fight them until they pay the poll-tax (Ziziya tax) with submission and humiliation.”

     In another place of his book (The Jurisprudence in Muhammad’s Biography) Al-Buti (published in Egypt) quoted: “The concept of Holy War (Jihad) in Islam does not take into consideration whether defensive or an offensive war. Its goal is the exaltation of the Word of Allah and the construction of Islamic society and the establishment of Allah’s Kingdom on Earth regardless of the means. The means would be offensive warfare. In this case, it is the apex, the noblest Holy War. It is legal to carry on a Holy War.”

     Ibn Hisham-Al Sohaily quoted in his famous book (Al- Rawd al- Anaf, page-50,51 ): ” No two religions are to exist in the Arab Peninsula .” Therefore, Saudi Government does not allow any other religion to manifest their religious task. What a tolerant and peaceful religion Islam is!

     The well-known Egyptian scholar, Sayyid Qutb, (Sayyid Qutb, Milestones, Revised Edition, chapter. 4, “Jihaad in the Cause of God”) notes four stages in the development of jihad:

     While the earliest Muslims remained in Mecca before fleeing to Medina, God did not allow them to fight;
     2. Permission is given to Muslims to fight against their oppressors;

     God commands Muslims to fight those fighting them;
     God commands the Muslims to fight against all polytheists.

     Sayyid Qutb views each stage to be replaced by the next stage in this order, the fourth stage to remain permanent). To justify the universal and permanent dimensions of jihad he cites the following Qur’anic passages:

     Quran: 4:74-32: They ought to fight in the way of God who have sold the life of this world for the life of the Hereafter; and whoever fights in the way of God and is killed or becomes victorious, to him shall We (God) give a great reward…

     Quran: 8:38-40: and fight them until there is no oppression and the religion is wholly for God….

     Quran: 9:29-32: Fight against those among the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) who do not believe in God and the Last Day, who do not forbid what God and His messenger have forbidden, until they are subdued and pay jizyah (tax on non-Muslims) …

     Sayyid Qutb, however, pours scorn upon those who view jihad as solely defensive:

     … They are ignorant of the nature of Islam and of its function, and that it has a right to take the initiative for human freedom. Thus wherever an Islamic community exists which is a concrete example of the Divinely-ordained system of life, it has a God-given right to step forward and take control of the political authority so that it may establish the Divine system on earth, while it leaves the matter of belief to individual conscience.

     Maulana Mawdudi’s Fatwa:

     Likewise, the popular Pakistani Muslim revivalist Abu’l Ala Mawdudi rejects any distinction between offensive and defensive jihad. So also, the distinguished contemporary Pakistani scholar, Fazlur Rahman, while recognizing the extensive presence of jihad in the Qur’an, rejects the stand of those modern Muslim apologists who have tried to explain the jihad of the early (Muslim) Community in purely defensive terms (Fazlur Rahman, Islam (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1979) 37).

     According to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, “the fight is obligatory even when the unbelievers have not started it (E. Tyan, “Djihad”, Encyclopaedia of Islam, 2nd ed. (Leiden: Brill, 1965). In the words of Rudolph Peters the “ultimate aim of jihad is ‘the subjection of the unbelievers’ and ‘the extirpation of unbelief’” (Rudolph Peters, “Jihad”, The Encyclopedia of Religion (NewYork: Macmillan, 1987) Vol. 8:88-91).

     All of these authorities simply echo Islam’s fundamental assumption that world sovereignty must be in the hands of Muslims.

     Quran: 16:101: And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, – and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth – they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not.

     On the basis of these verses there arose within the Muslim community the principle of Qur’anic interpretation, called naskh (”abrogation”) which stipulated that earlier peaceful verses could be abrogated by later militant verses, i.e., in the case of jihad the Meccan verses were abrogated by the Medinan verses. It is well known that many Muslim scholars in the early history of Islam contended that Qur’an 9:5, sometimes called “the verse of the sword”, abrogated a host of peaceful passages in earlier portions of the Qur’an.

     What it has signified in the past and signifies at present for masses of Muslims is well summarized in a statement by the world renowned Ibn Khaldun (A.D. 1332-1406), Islam’s great historian, sociologist and philosopher:

     In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the (Muslim) mission and (the obligation to) convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force. Therefore, caliphate and royal authority are united in (Islam), so that the person in charge can devote the available strength to both of them at the same (Ibn Khaldun, The Muqaddimah, trans. by Franz Rosenthal (New York: Pantheon Books Inc., 1958) Vol. 1:473).

     (The Translation of the Meanings of Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 1:xxiv-xliii ).

     So, it is incumbent upon us (Muslims) to follow the path which Allah’s Messenger (Muhammad) adopted to avoid polytheism and heresy in all its shapes and to take the Holy Qur’an and the Prophet’s Traditions as torches in front of us to guide us. We have to teach our brethren and convey the Message to non-Muslims all over the world as much as possible in order to save them from the Hell-fire. We have to prepare ourselves to stand in the face of our enemy and to possess the means of power and to participate in the progress of useful industries in order to protect our religion and be powerful enough to face our enemy, as Allah, the Elevated says in Surat al-Anfal (8:60):

     Qur’an: 8:60: Against them (kaffirs) make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war (tanks, places, missiles and other weapons, etc.) to strike terror into the (hearts of) the Enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside, whom you may not know, but whom Allah does know. Whatever you shall spend in the Cause of Allah, shall be repaid to you, and you shall not be treated unjustly

     How many terrorists would appeal to this verse “to strike terror into the hearts of the enemy”?

     The majority of the Qur’an’s texts themselves clearly identify jihad as physical warfare in Islam and, Islamically, God’s way of establishing the Kingdom of God on earth. Likewise, from the Hadith and the earliest biographies of Muhammad it is just as evident that the early Muslim community understood these Qur’anic texts to be taken literally. Historically, therefore, from the time of Muhammad onwards, jihad as physical warfare in support of the message of Islam has been a reality for the Muslim community. Hence, it comes as no surprise when even terrorists (Osama and his al-Qaeda) easily appeal to these source materials to justify their actions, not to speak of their teachers who teach the theory and the art of terrorism. September 11, 2001, terrorist act in the soil of America is the glittering example of Jihadi mindset of Islamist like Osama bin Laden.

     Qur’anic Ayats (I just mentioned above) and numerous Sahi Hadiths of same kind were instrumental for Muslims to dedicate their strength & minds for the cause of Islam. Therefore, in the name of spreading the religion, devout Muslim fighters killed millions of people while occupying neighboring Arab lands such as Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Iraq and non-Arab countries like India, Turkey, Libya, Iran etc. Even Spain had fallen into their hands for hundreds of years. I simply wonder were these wars defensive. Were those swords used by Islamic soldiers to occupy country after country be considered a symbol of forgiveness or mercy? Following Muhammad’s death, his companions fought each other in relentless savage wars competing for authority.

     In summary, Islamic Jihad with the help of Islamic sword–hundreds of tribes were wiped out from the Arabian Peninsula. Thousands were orphaned and widowed. Hazzaz bin Yousuf killed more than a hundred thousand Sahabis, Ibne Khattal was killed in Kaba’a. Later Abdulla Bin Zubair was killed in the same Kaba’a. By the end of the first civil war of Muslims, all the Badari Sahabis were killed. By the end of three civil wars all the Sahabis were killed “it sucked up all the strength of Muslims” ( Bokhari). Ten thousand Muslims were killed in the Jamal war between Hazrat Ali (RA) and Bibi Ayesha (RA). Islamic scholar Dr. Abu Zayd Shalabi claimed in his book (page-75), in the ‘battle of Alees’ which took place on the border of Iraq, (Siffin war between Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Mwabia ), the great Islamic General Khalid killed 70,000 people.

     Thousands of non-Muslims were killed. After the death of Prophet Muhammad, there were four most favorite disciples of Prophet who ruled the Islamic kingdom established by the prophet Muhammad, who were known as the most pious caliphs. Out of these four Caliphs—three of them were brutally assassinated, and only one had natural death because of his old age and very short rule of the Islamic state. Karbala was flooded with blood with a roar of “Allahu Akbar!” Was it because of the fact that Islamic sword was the sign of Mercy? The fact of the matter is—sword can never be the sign of mercy! Period.

     Global Agenda: As I cited various valuable quotes, which clearly depicted a special and unique feature, which is totally absent in any other monolithic religions of the world. Unlike any other world religion—Islam has an ulterior motive in its agenda. Islam considers it has a sacred and mandatory God given duty to spread Islamic message (Din-e-Islam) to all the inhabitants of the world. Their ultimate wishful goal is to convert and bring entire mankind under the fold of Islam, the only true religion of Allah. To this end—two main groups are working very hard. These two groups are: (a) Militant/radical Mullahs, (b) Educated/elite western residing true believing Muslims (Muslims of the ummatic groups in the west such as: AMC, CAIR, ICNA, ISNA, NABIC etc). Here we can exclude group-C Muslims (general God fearing innocent gullible Muslims who constitute about 70-80% of the total Muslims.

     Both the groups (A & B) have one thing common in their minds. That is to convert sufficient peoples to Islam in order to establish Islamic Sharia’h or Huhud Laws (Allah’s laws just like Afghan Taliban state) as the state governing administration. Here the main difference is—group A (Militant/fanatics) is engaged in armed struggles (Holy war, Terrorism); and group-B (mainly western resident) is engaged in secret and peaceful propagation with sweet talks and peaceful persuasion of the gullible western peoples by deceitful sermons in the mosques and in various annual and semi-annual Islamic conferences and meetings (Ummatic conference). Both have one last thing in mind—to establish Islamic Sharia’h law in the state.

     Conclusion:

     Our gullible and wishful Islamists like that Harvard graduate, which we have plenty all over the world, or any other Islamists who wants to twist the real practical and historical meaning of Jihad to fool the modern world, which we have among educated Muslims scattered everywhere, must consider this. If they want to give a new twisted meaning – a sober and politically correct one — of the word Jihad, they had better first change the Qur’an, Hadiths and all those Islamic history books available in the library throughout the world. Alternatively, they should dump all the Islamic history literature into the Daria or sea and re-write a new peaceful Islamic history by themselves. Sadly, if they do so, then it will be a Reformed Islam, which Mullahs will now allow to happen any time soon. Therefore, the Islamic elites, many of who visit NFB (News From Bangladesh) on a regular basis, will have to swallow their false pride and lick their wounds too. The proverbial phrase – the dogs will be barking, but the caravan will pass. Humanity is poised now to get rid of all kinds belief system that has crippled the humankind and which never allowed us to rich for a higher plane.

     Mr.Assalafi, whoever you are, you sound biased, there are no reference from Quran and Sunnah in your fatwa against Sheikh Awlaki, who gave you the authority to call him misguided? Just by saying that he is misguided without any Quranic and Hadith reference is a clear proof that you are the one who is misguided and not the Sheikh. You better keep your Rand Muzlim concept with yourself.
     Abshiro Ya Ikhwan and do not take the blame of the blamers. Allah will give victory to believers even though the disbelievers dislike it.

     They wish to ignite the fire of war whereas Allah extinguishes it. It now appears that the end is in sight as the enemies of Allah are looking for a way to exit from Gaza.

     Then post battle reflections will occupy the media for the next couple of months.

     What is sad is that the Muslim world stood back and did no more than huff and puff. Hamas will still remain in control of the strip, Rockets will still continue to be launched,the tunnels will be redug, the grave yards will be fuller than they were 15 days ago; Houses will no longer seem the same as families look to how many of them were killed, the blackmarket will be busy and the Muslims will be lulled back to sleep.

     Well! until the next country is attacked under the guise of prevention of terrorism, coming to a Muslim country near you soon.

     The Arabs will continue to sword dance, cry over football, pay ridiculous sums of money on parties for marriage, find out new ways to fold the Shemagh onto their head; Race their 4×4 on the roads, rub noses and make ridiculous kissing sounds whilst doing it, turn away from you if you try to give them nasseah and dissappear out to the desert every weekend.

     While shaitan and his army of kuffar will carfully plan their next killing spree. Watch this space………

     To Assalafi,

     Look at your king abdullah and his men and HIS scholars, praising Condoleza Rice and awarding her jewels for the great work done against islam and muslims, while thousands and thousands of muslims are being killed every day by these people, infact you have tarnished the name and image of Salaf us Salaheen, and without any doubt you are ‘murjia’ and not the salafees, the greatest vritue of salafees is the they do not sit in the palaces at the time the umma is being killed, salafees are the mujahideen of this era, no matter where they are. And you murjia, you cannot leave the comfort of your palaces and luxuries, let alone doing jihad in the way of allah. I swear, the people like you and your king, will for sure blame imam al mahdi and issa a.s for being terroirst and khwarij, so as to have an excuse to sit in your palaces and enjoy the luxuries. While in the quran allah says in surah tawba that he the almighty uses jihad as differenciating factor between momineen and munafiqeen. Today any person with some intelligence and common sence can figure out who are yearning for a life in this world ann who are the mujahideen fi sabeelillah..
     And your paid scholars are issuing fatwas against the people of palestine as if it is their fault that israel is killing them, Allah o Akbar, such is the height of ignorance on your part. And if you have some time spared beside issuing the fatwas against the mujahideen and ulema do some research for i pitty on your ignorance…
     Read the books on the seerah of Rasool allah s.w, especiallay “ar raheek al makhtoom” by safee ur rehman mubarakpuri, the life of rasool allah was spent all fighting in the way of allah, doing jihad, one after another,Surely you people are going to deny this as well, but alas you cant, that is the truth, rasool allah s.w lost his whitness and shine of skin, fighting in the way of his creator and his skin colour had became tanned brown after all those years of fighting.. And for you MURJIA, there is no jihad rather you people are most effective tool of kuffar, destroying the roots of islam while sitting amongst muslims, and planting doubts in the hearts of the people, and your scholars hiding the truth from the people and accusing the ulema of haq as Khawarij…

     Wasnt it the case that these very own paid scholars of the late king fahd, issued fatwas for jihad against russia, when their kings manster and mentor, usa asked for the support in the shape of foot soldiers?? And when the target was achieved the same mujahideen were decalred as terrorists and khawirj by these very same scholars who had spent energy and effort prasining them earlier.. And you know why? Simple because their kings master and mentor, usa, asked the king that it doenst needed these foot soldiers any more, and the king told his paid servants to twist their tongues and fatwas against those innocenet and mukhlis muslims who had left their homes,wives and children for the sake of islam and umma. How cruel you are and cruel is your game, that for your worldly benefits that you play with the lives of these muslims.
     And if you have some time, read the book “Mishkatul Masabeeh” and in that book there is a hadees of rasool allah s.w, authentic and strong in strength.

     These are not the exact words but the mufhoom of the hadeeth.

     Rasool allah s.w said that in my umma after me, the khilafa upon the manhaj of nabuwa, will remain for 40 years, i repeat here for 40 years, and then rasool allah s.w said, will come cruel kings, and i repeat here, the prophet of allah used the word “Malak” or Kings and then he s.w said, will come extremely cruel and tyrant kings, and after them will come a person from my family, mahdi, that will bring peace and justice to the world after all of the cruely and zulm….

     So that matter of fact is that the current kings and presidents and prime ministers of the muslim areas are nothing but the tyrants, playing with the blood of muslims and true ulemas, whether it be King Abdullah or Musharaf or Karzai or Husni Mubarak or Bashr al Asad or any where else. I ask you, do they have an independence in giving orders or are they being dictated? The entrie world knows that fact about these puppets. If they are the true leaders, why are they afraid to visit the poor areas of muslim countries without any security? why are these so many security personnel with them all the time? what has made them so unsafe and so hateable. Verily those who go against the way of allah, allah puts hatred in the hearts of people against them.
     May allah help us get rid of these filthy puppets of yours and may allah sends his true men as our leader, independent in thier thinking and orders. May allah hastens the arrival of imam mahdi, the leader of the muwahideen, the leader of the mujahideen, allah o akbar kabeera and all of the praises for the creator of the heavens and earth, and the truth will spread through out each and every corner of the planet no matter who much you dislike it…

     To Haris:
     .
     First, I‘d like to give you some real definitions regarding your comment:
     The Taliban (or the students) is name of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, which setup the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, and headed by Ameerul Mumineen, (Commander in chief of the Believers) Sheikh, Mujahid, Imam Mullah Mohammed Omar, may Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala Protect him). The Students or the Taliban implemented the Shariah in Afghanistan and gained diplomatic recognition from only three states: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, before the US’s invasion. It was this Mujahideen that succeeded in banishing out the Russian Kuffar of their occupation in Afghanistan.
     .
     Now, today we have another occupation, and injustice in Afghanistan by the United States of America and its allies of NATO countries including the Illegal State of Israel. These attacks against the Islamic state of Afghanistan came with notorious lies, atrocious propaganda, and ferocious oppression by the United States of America and NATO.
     The Mujahideen, i.e. the Taliban, by the Will of Allah Azza Wa Jall, is able and still able to fight against this occupation and oppression (despite the Taliban small number in arms) and is inflicting great harm on the Satan forces in Afghanistan. How can you notice this? Afghanistan was attacked in 2001 by the United States and its allies, and they (US and NATO countries) are still begging for more and more of their “soon to be dead soldiers”.
     .
     In order to reduce the numbers of their dead and their casualties, the United States have started to randomly attack Pakistan, mosques, villages and putting blame of these atrocities to the Taliban or the Mujahideen. In this way, The US will command its puppets in Pakistan to send their Army to fight against the Muslims Who are supporting the Mujahideen and the Taliban. In this way, Muslim armies are going to serve as a source for military man power for the US and NATO. Pakistan Soldiers will now continue to be sacrificed to fight wars for the United States of America and Illegal State of Israel, attacking and oppressing countries that stand on their path for world domination.
     .
     In Iraq and Afghanistan, all the terrorism is done by the same Americans and British as well, to give them more justification to stay in the Muslim lands for “entirety”. Like how the Europeans, British “founded” the Republic of the United States of America against the Native Americans, Lakotas or “Indians”.
     In Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and other lands, The Crusaders perpetrate these attacks in markets, mosques, hospitals, schools and then blame it on so call “Muslim terrorist”. Who is bombing the Masaajid? Muslims? No. not Muslims. It can only be Kuffar that commit these atrocities and killing Muslims. In Iraq, they kill the “Shias” and blame it on the “Sunnis” and kill the “Sunnis” and blame it on the “Shias”. Before America and Britain and their corrupted allies like Illegal Israel went to Iraq there were no case of “suicide” bombings in mosques, hospitals and there was no so call “killings between the Sunnis and Shias”. These phenomenons started after the invasions and the occupations. The Muslims are just basically defending themselves against these American and British terrorists. The occupiers employ mercenaries and death squads to do their dirty jobs like the US Army raping Muslims women etc and torturing and slaughtering their boys and men. Same thing with what happened in the Abu Gharib and Guantanomo bay prisons. So much abuse and injustice filled these people’s hearts.
     .
     Same process is going on today in Somalia, Palestine and Gujarat. Then they will try other lands wherever Muslims are. So when you see, Masjid AL-Aqsa brought to the ground, Allah Forbid, A unzu billah or other great masaajid disappear from the face of the world they will blame it on the “Muslim Terrorist” and those Muslims still sleeping or blinded by their media will agree to that.
     .
     As to what is happening in Pakistan, this is the same story. Justification for them to enter Pakistan and continue their annihilation of Muslims, just like Musharaf, one of their puppets did few months ago, attacking Mosques and killing innocent lives in the houses of Allah.
     .

     Please wake up and smell the coffee.

     .
     Allah [SWT] Says “Fitnah is worse than killing” {2:190}
     .
     The Fitnah that the American and British terrorists and allies such as Illegal Israel are doing are greater and more harmful. They expel people from their homes; invade and occupy their lands, create millions of refugees, who have neither safety nor salaam. As for those Muslims that Americans and the British killed and annihilated, Inshallah we hope that they will be forgiven and sent to Paradise.
     .
     These terrorist did not only create these great Fitnah and killing, but also create 21st century slavery, colonization and nationalism. Muslims have the right to defend themselves against all these injustices. And “there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.” {2-193}
     .
     Please tell me what non-Muslim country is being invaded and occupied by Muslims, militarily today?

     .
     The second point: The American system believes in Mad-Made Laws, they believe in Taghut, that is, their so call “founding fathers”. They also believe in nationalistic and racial ideas. They have an idol “the statue of liberty” that they worship, to expand and promote their shirk in the disguise slogan of liberty, freedom and democracy. They use remote controlled bombs, missiles, drones, bomber jets to force the rest of the world to adopt their kufr systems and ideologies. Now with all of United States’ so call military power on land, sea and in the air, the Mujahideen, like the Taliban and Al-Shabab are the only force on the face of the earth to counter these kuffar. So what do these kuffar do? They now try to change the teachings of Islam with their created scholars for dollars. So what do these scholars for dollars do? They pacify the Muslims; They make the Muslims to be out of touch with the real issues happening in the real world and to make things like Jihad and Qital Feesabililah “haram” and things like voting for the next American pharaoh “halal”. What more? These kuffar pay puppets to rule the Muslims and oppress the Muslims.
     .
     Have a look at them, those puppet tyrant rulers, the likes of Abdulat II of Jordan, Abdulat of Saudia, DaJalal Talabani and Nurine camel al-Maliki of Iraq, la-Husni la-Mubarak of Egypt, Pervert Musharraf, Bkhenzir Bhutto and Assof Zardari of Pakistan, Hammeat Karzai of Afghanistan, Abdulat Yu Sufi of Smalia, Mahmoud Abbass of Palestine and others who have and are continuously and openly rejecting and diverting the Shariah of Allah Azza Wa Jall and replaced it with the Shariah of the devil. The have openly danced with and entertain Shaytan himself. They have accepted the kufr of Satan and are propagating it subliminally or openly, using such things as Nationalism, Pluralsim and Secularism. Have a look at these tyrants in their imitation of the Kuffar, and how they let the Kuffar use the resources of the Muslims to shed Muslim blood and to destroy Islam from within. Have a Look at the US-Army Satanist bases in the Arabian Peninsula, the Hijjaz, and how they use their airspace for aerial bombardment of our mothers, sisters and brothers in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Have a look at how they attacked and raided Masaajid and massacring, imprisoning and torturing our brothers and sisters. Have a look at how they sit and watch when our brothers and sisters are besieged in Palestine by the Pigs of the Illegal State of Israel. Have a look at how they visit “Camp (of the Star of) David” to kiss and show their loyalty to their devil masters. Have a look at these ways of the tyrants and hypocrites. Have a look at their aggression and injustice. Let us all have a look at these and participate in the Jihadfeesabililah and support the Mujahideen, Taliban, Al-Shabab of Somalia, Hamas and other groups for the Sake of Allah Azza Wa Jall in order to correct our situation. For Verily Allah Azza Wa Jall Says:
     .
     “Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] – other than the disabled – and the Mujahideen, [who strive and fight] in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred the Mujahideen through their wealth and their lives over those who remain [behind], by degrees. And to both Allah has promised the best [reward]. But Allah has preferred the Mujahideen over those who remain [behind] with a great reward –
     .
     Degrees [of high position] from Him and forgiveness and mercy. And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.”

     @Um Umar, the reason I was wondering is because I knew some Sahabah ridhi Allahu ‘anhu divorced their wives to go on jihad, although in that story the Rasoolu Allah sal Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam told them to go back home for some reason.
     .
     If someone could clarify this for me that would be helpful. I do not remember very many details from it, so I do not know how to act on it.
     .
     Also, Um Umar, with that in mind is the answer the same?

     asalaamo alaikum, just some computer advice for you all, i personally use portableapps running from a usb flash drive. i can use firefox, email and VLC video player (and others) and keep all my settings, documents and videos on the USB, without leaving any traces inshallah on the computer itself. these programs and files could also be encrypted using truecrypt if required and also a usb is also easier than a harddisk to destroy (stand on it, or give it to your kids).regarding the internet, it started out as a US military system so its easy to believe they have ways to access everything attached to it. regarding mobile phones, not only is it apparently easy to turn them into listening devices but they are by design able to pinpoint your position within a few metres (depending on cell density). tie your camel and then trust Allah.

     Jazakiallahkeir @slops can i mention Archea in west Indonesia where the first Arab traders gave such a good example that Islam spread all thru out with a few exceptions such as dirty bali,who have been suffering for decades only because they want to implement Sharia and those struggling in the Phillipines, Mindanao ( they even have restriction on teaching Quran ) and northern Malayasia (land given to Thailand by the British scum,where theres wide sread oppession, as in all these places that very rarely get a notice even by muslims . Islam spread thru south east Asia by the Aqlaq of the Arab traders You know Sinbad the sailor, any way these people are a humble people that Love the Arabs with Taqwa only because they are the sons and daughters of the Sahabah.iF THE SAHABAH SAW THIER CHILDREN NOW THEY TAKE A SWORD AND FINISH THEM Please remember them in your duas
     Now the Arabs are ripe with jahaliyah and hate really hate those caller for Islam this is to be expected .But when the callers for Islam really hate another brother because he belongs to a different group whats the difference its all jahiylihah. This is not the example of our beloved noble Prophet saws) I said to my Son I cant understand it (meaning the inaction ) he said (whats there not to understands NO ONE GIVES A …. exactly WHATS HAPPENING ON THE WORLD SCALE IS HAPPENING IN YOUR OWN LITTLE COMMUNITY THOSE THAT NEED SUPPORT ARE TOTALLY NEGLECTED TOTALLY ALONE WITH ONLY ALLAH AS A SUPPORT WE WONT GET VICTORY UNTIL WE WANT FOR OUR BROTHER AND SISTER WHAT WE WANT FOR OURSELVES We in the west get to work while your making plans for Hijra support the needy feesabil Allah,theres so much you can do in your own community Allah mercy is endless ,

     @ Zakariya remember that you’ve only completed half your deen when you marry you complete the other half,fix yourself before Allah before you start your journey, gets as much reward along your way, your making Hijra first are you not ? first Hijra then Jihad fee sabililah How about pleasing our Gracious Lord and doing whats Halal by taking on the responsibility of a sister in need of support and who wants to make Hijra fee sabilalah too no one knows the Ghibe but as long as you enter marriage with the right intention Allah will support u if you can save a sister from this rubbish life in the west then do it WE NEED OUR MEN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR UMMAH NOT JUST THEIR FAMILY THIS IS WHY WE ARE IN SUCH A HUMILIATED POSITION CAN I TELL YOU HOW TO GET EVEN MORE REWARD MARRY TWO SISTERS only if you can manage it IM REMINDING ALL THE BROTHERS not just you Zakariya if your able to do it do it as i said you dont hesitate when it comes to marriage and you dont hesitate when it comes to fighting the enermies of Allah./// this hadith you mention cant remember it exactly i think their intention was good but the divorce wasnt necessary inshallah ill look it up but your not a mujahid yet so first complete your Deen A sister told me that when abu Haneefs wife died he re married that day because he didnt want to spend one night only completing half his Deen Allahuahleem When i said marry 2 sisters i mean not at the same time thats Haram

     @ Abu Baker…Barak Allahu feekum akhii
     Masha’Allah great response to the blind followers. The murjiah of our time just can’t leave our Shaykh Anwar Al Awlaki and our brothers alone. Wallahi, when we mention your name to murjiah they lower their heads and hatred appears in their face subhan’Allah. And have you notice when you mention something to read or listen they don’t bother to consider it. By the way, the US government considers them to be modern-salafi or nonviolent salafi and us if course salafi or violent salafi walhamdulillah. Now ask yourself which group is on the right path. Haqq is clear so stop fooling yourself. Also, I think the murjiah hate Osama more then Obama since they spent most of their time bashing Osama rather then Obama or Bush. Wa Allahu alam.

     January 12, 2009 - الاثنين 16 محرم 1430 at 11:58 am

     Many Brothers and sisters today are confused regarding this issue of leaving for Jihad Fe Sabilillah- with the concern that they have families to support- they have kids to support- they have parents to support- Allah has revealed the Ayat 24 of Surah Toba talking all kind of things which can be a hurdle for making Hijra or performing Jihad fe sabilillah-
     9-24. 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 Allâh and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause , then wait until Allâh brings about His Decision (torment). And Allâh guides not the people who are Al-Fâsiqûn (the rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).
     No hurdle should stop us for perfomring Jihad Fe Sabillalh and especially when it is Fardh-e-Ain.
     when Jihad becomes fardh ain as it is today then,nuthing can or should stop you for leaving fee sabilillah-so much so, the wife does not need to seek permission from Husband, son from father/mother, the debtor from creditor….
     those who are sitting home for their children, ask yourself who was taking care of your children when they were in the darkness of the womb of their mothers? for those who are sitting home becuase their wives do not let them go or agree with them, ask yourself will she save you from Hell fire when there will be no shade except the Shade of the Throne of Allah. When a mother will say, throw my child in the hell but save me o Lord. lets keep this in our view and then decide what we are doing and what we need to do. while today you have the opportunity to be among the Shuhada and fly as green birds in the Heaven and be safe from the horrors of the Day of Judgment.
     Whenever you will decide to leave home, Shiatan will attack you from every where, what will happen to your wife? what about your children? the group you are going to join is not the right one? and many other things like that. remember that is the sign that you are on Haq and shaitan is just trying to get you. Once you ar able to cross this barrier Allah will shower his blessing on you.and when you become shaheed you have the opportunity to interceed for your family members.
     Sheikh Osama once said, you know how many men do we want? we want only one out of 100,000 men.
     if you cannot go out in the field, it is not necessary that you must go out in the field, shiek Anwar in this current article has written 44 different way to participate, look at your enemy, how resourceful they are, how much they are donatiing for their devil cause, and how much we are in need of finances, engineers, doctors, physicians etc. chose the one field you r best in and strat performing your Jihad now.
     Think about Khalid Bin Walid Razi Allah Anho-he said.
     if i were given a chane to marry the most beautiful girl- or if i were to be given the news of a newly born baby boy- or have to go to a cold icy night on a mountain and face the enemey next morning- I would chose to go to face the enemy. Look at the determination and love and sincerity of Khalid. Today a job of few thousand dollars or a pretty wife or love of children becomes a chain in our feet and look how the current Mujhaideen have sacrificed every thing to crush the enemies of Allah. Allah praised his men and call them the REAL MEN who are true to their covenant.
     Think not of those who are killed in the Way of Allâh as dead. Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision.

     170. They rejoice in what Allâh has bestowed upon them of His Bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve.

     171. They rejoice in a Grace and a Bounty from Allâh, and that Allâh will not waste the reward of the believers.

     May Allah give victory to brothers and make us among them.

     @ Assalafi, you should really consider changing your user-name because your character completely contradicts the name itself. Provide the proof if indeed you are truthful. And even if YOU did believe that the sheikh (may Allah protect him) was misguided, then why do you visit his site and why are you interested in what he has to say? Fear Allah and stop making false accusations and may Allah give you what you deserve!

     It was asked from the messenger of Allah Sallalaho aliahey wassallam, whose Jihad is the best, Rasool Allah Sallalaho Alaihey wassallam replied, one whose horse is also killed and his blood is spilled.
     Subhan Allah today this hadith fits like a glove in hand for the brothers and sisters who do (aml-e-istashhadia)Fidai driving their cars and smashing into the enemy. May Allah increase the ranks of Fidaieen in the Jannatul Firdos.

     Ibne taymiya once said,
     during the times of Jihad, take fatwas from only those ulama who are in the field of Jihad (practically doing Jihad, or are connected to it)

     @Um Umar, I am not quite sure what you intended when you told Zakariya to marry two sisters and then at the end said, not at the same time.

     If you meant two real sisters then I understand if you meant to sisters in Islam then I don’t see the problem as Allah states in the Quran marry two, three of four and if you can’t be just then marry one.

     The kuffar have long ago sort to sow the seeds of discontent amongst the Ummah and one of these ways is to try and say that Islam is unjust in allowing a man to marry more than one wife at a time.

     Anyway I don’t want to open up this topic widely just to clarify this and to say that the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) is reported to have said; There will come a time when one man will be responsible for fifty women.

     With all the widows that we see around us surely that time is drawing close and so may Allah help us in protecting our women in these times.

     @ Um Umar, I appreciate your idea for brothers and sisters to get married and help each other, there must be a forum where we should facilitate those sisters who want to make Hijarah and have no Mehram, secondly we must look after the wives and children of Shuhada. These shuhada sacrificed for Islam and their families are an obligation on us. Whoever take care of such families he shares the reward of Jihad Fisabeelillah. we must act like a Body as Rasool Allah said, Our Ummah is like one body, lets feel the pain and suffering of our sisters and brothers in Palestine, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iraq and every where.
     Remember the example of Sahaba(radi Allah hu anhum) during those times it was too difficult to find some one without a mehram and every woman was taken care of. we need to follow the sunnah of Sahaba in this regard in a very effective way.
     Dear sisters please take a lead in this regard and we are with you inshaAllah.
     May Allah make it easy on us.(amin)

     My dear respected brothers and sisters. I have read the last posts regarding a setting up a forum where sisters can be helped.

     My sincere advice is that this forum should not be a two way thing and should be strictly be controlled by those who are having taqwa of Allah.

     I know of many cases where this type of thing has ended in disaster.

     Therefore I ask you to consult with the shaikh before starting. Remember istisharah, Istikharah and action.

     May Allah lead you to get benefit from such a great an noble project inshallah.

     On an other note please read the following taken from the introduction to the book “By way of deception”.

     Even as students, he and his
     classmates had access to the Mossad main computer, and
     countless hours were spent in class studying in minute detail,
     over and over again, dozens of actual Mossad operations —
     the goal being to teach the new recruits how to approach an
     operation and how to avoid past mistakes.

     The Mossad — believe it or not — has just 30 to 35 case
     officers, or katsas, operating in the world at any one time. The
     main reason for this extraordinarily low total, as you will read
     in this book, is that unlike other countries, Israel can tap the
     significant and loyal cadre of the worldwide Jewish
     community outside Israel. This is done through a unique
     system of sayanim, volunteer Jewish helpers.

     Please note the two main important points is that they study their mistakes to stop them being repeated.

     The second is that they have a system of helpers from within the community willing to provide everything from financial help to accommodation to cars.

     Allah mention in the meaning, if you Muslims do not unite as one group there will be fitnah and fasad on the earth.

     The root cause of the problem is broader Arab nationalism and secondary Palestinian nationalism. There is no such thing as Palestine. It is being pushed by Kuffar. No one called himself Palestinian in the times of Sahaba or earlier generations or until the Ottoman Khilafa. Correct me if I am wrong.

     Remember Salauddin Ayubi who liberated Jerusalem (Not Palestine) from crusaders after they occupied it for 70 years. The liberation of Jerusalem and not the land of Palestine is important. The land of Palestine is automatically included in Jerusalem and not vice versa. Are Muslims so naive and fallen so low to forget Masjid Al Aqsa and Jerusalem and concentrate only on Gaza? Liberation of Jerusalem from neo –crusaders-Zionists is mandatory for Muslims. It should not stop at borders of Gaza but should be all the way to Masjid Al Aqsa-Jerusalem.

     They should take a lesson from Chechen Brothers who abandoned freedom struggle for Chechnya and have declared emirate of Caucasus and said the name Chechen was given to them by Russians. Now the freedom struggle encompasses 7 semi autonomous Muslim Republics from Karachae Balkar near Black Sea to Dagestan near Caspian Sea. They have nothing to do with any nationalism based on borders set by Russian colonialists just like the Arab countries boundaries were demarcated by British and French colonialists.

     Salaudin Ayubi was neither Arab nor a Palestinian but a Muslim. He happened to be ethnic Kurd which is not at all important.

     Hamas agenda was good but unfortunately they came to power thru the Kuffar system of democracy and met Carter and others to get “international” recognition. They should only please Allah SBT not West. And they can see for themselves how the enire world has remained silent speectator to their genocide although they came thru so called democratic process.

     But Insha’Allah they will realize their shortcomings and will eventually win . I hope they understand the stand of hypocritical Arabs. Only statement of real support came from Taliban. No other country extended that kind of moral support.

     Brother Spops, thanks for all the tips; please keep them coming.

     Brother Abu Nabil, we would appreciate it if you could continue your tactical analysis of the unfolding situation on the ground. It was very beneficial.

     Stay in your places, for I will tell you what delayed me this morning: I got up during the night and prayed for as long as was decreed for me. Then I became so sleepy while praying that I found it hard to continue (so I slept). I then saw (in a dream) my Lord (AWJ) in the best form.

     He asked me, “O Muhammad, about what does the most supreme society (i.e., the angels) argue?” I said, “I do not know, my Lord.” He asked me (again), “O Muhammad, about what does the most supreme society argue?” I said, “I do not know, my Lord.” He asked me (a third time), “O Muhammad, about what does the most supreme society argue?” I said, “I do not know, my Lord.” Then He placed His palm (on my back) between my shoulder-blades, and I felt the coolness of His fingers inside my chest. Everything then became clear to me, and I knew (the answer).

     He asked me, “O Muhammad, about what does the most supreme society argue?” I replied, “(They argue about) the expiating acts and (the acts that elevate) the ranks (of the believers in Jannah).

     <He asked, “What are the expiating acts?” I replied, “(They are:) walking (once and again) to the jama’ah prayers, sitting in the place of prayer (saying thikr) after prayers, waiting (with anticipation) for the (next) prayer after the (previous) prayer, and performing complete wudu’ (even in) disliked conditions.”

     <He asked, “What are the (acts that elevate in) ranks?” I replied, “(They are feeding food (to the needy), spreading (the greeting of) salam, speaking kindly (to others), and praying at night while people are asleep.” Then He commanded me, “Ask (from Me), say:”

     Asalamu alaikum wa rahmatu Allah,

     I’m sorry I had to post that hadith in 3 comments I had some trouble with it. Ever since I read that hadith, I’ve been making that prayer approximately everyday if I remember, and it is a beautiful du’a. Brothers and sisters, I seek your advice. I am a single mother of 4, 2 of which are still very young (1 & 3). I’m very disappointed in the lack of reaction to the war against islam from our muslim men, and I mean physical reaction. I feel like an example needs to be set, and in fact I’m very motivated to fight fe sabil Allah. There is nothing left for me to do but move into action. However, I don’t want to displease Allah aza wa jal in anyway, knowing that joining the fight will definitly leave my children orphans. They will most likely be taken care of by people who make their prophit with money that isn’t 100% halal.

     I look forward to your thoughts, jazakum Allah khayr

     Mu’ath Bin Jabal, Ibn ‘Abbas, ‘Ubaydah Bin al-Jarrah, and others (RAA) reported that the Prophet (ASWS) was once so late in coming out to lead the morning prayer that the sun was about to rise. He came out of his home hurriedly, led the people in a (relatively) short prayer, and then turned toward them and said: Stay in your places, for I will tell you what delayed me this morning: I got up during the night and prayed for as long as was decreed for me. Then I became so sleepy while praying that I found it hard to continue (so I slept).

     Bismillah, as salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah

     To all the sisters out there who are living through difficult times fending on their own and bringing up children on their own.

     My advice and I would like the shaikh to correct me if wrong or add to this with words of wisdom. I think that you need to ask Allah to bring to you righteous men who will marry you.

     Why? Women and the children that they bear and educate are the future of the ummah. Without good educators in the home where will the next set of Mujahideen come from. It is through the sacrifice of the sisters in teaching their children about the love of ALLAH, the plans of shaitan and the kuffar, to instill a love for jihad and an indifference to this life.

     If you ask Allah in the last hours, Allah the most sublime and mighty will answer your prayers and give you a way out of this hardship.

     I know that the sahabah left none of the sahabihat to fend for themselves and took care of the widows of the shuhadah.

     May Allah make it easy for you to make the first hijrah from the lands of the kuffar to the land of the Muslims. may Allah open up a way for you all out of the difficulties of leaving amongst the kuffar. May Allah cause you all to be a source of education for the future mujahideen inshallah.

Also the latest Australian soldier to be killed in Afganistan was a yahud Allahs gives our hearts reasurrance of His Word Alhumduiallah @ Abdullah I thought you ment leaving your family in Kaffur land, I dont know how Islamic UAE is from what i hear they love this Duniah you know the Hadith about the Muslims following the People of the book in their ways ,even into a dark cave, seek more guidance uhki.@Spops Sorry i didnt make myself clear i meant dont marry two on the same day thats haram and i didnt add 3 and 4 because our ummah has such western mindset on this subject and i didnt want to overburden anyone Shock horror its like what Prophet Mohummed saws) did is unnatural Wastugfirh Allah Arzeem .@Brother Al Khurasani I totally agree with you some action must be taken there are sisters on this site and also sisters in your own communities that need to be taken care of But please brothers take the examples of the sahabah when it comes to marrying divorced women especially with little children,they and the elderly widows are really marjinalised from all societies and they all are the most vulnurable too I can tell you many stories but one thing I know from my own experience is these are women of Taqwa because they have experienced so much hardship and only Allah has been . there support and brother @spops everything we do must be done with Taqwa i understand your reservations shaton is everywhere but well stomp on his neck if he tries something because i know my honourable sisters are suffering unnecessarily Allah unite our ummah

     assalamoalikum brothers and sisters in faith,

     All of the brothers and sister presently stationed in the non muslim lands, and are serious about migrating fe sabillilah to muslim lands should see this detailed video regarding the islamic emirate of iraq and its achievements after the elapse of 2 years.
     Besides, iraq, the northren areas of pakistan are also quite suitable for migration, though your migration plans needs to be extenisve and well sorted out, as these are not the times of rasool allah s.w and ansar of madina. So you should wisely determine what will you be doing after your arrival in these areas, as far as the reception is corncerned, the areas under the control of mujahideen inshallah you wont find any difficulty rather theyll welcome you, but again ill stress that you people are far more financialy stable and rich then the brothers present in those areas and also fighting against the enemies of islam.
     Just to give an idea to open the mind, as how can a person or a family cope with the financial issues, the northren areas of pakistan are very rich in open grass lands and water, you can built your own cow, goat farms, raise them for meat and sell the milk etc etc. Allah surely is the razaak and will open the windows of oportunities for those who have ikhlaas, inshallah.
     As far as the issue of reaching these areas is corncerned, you can come to pakistan on a visit visa and then slip to the area like, waziristan both north and south, swat, tank etc. These areas are the heartlands of mujahideens and the operate and move around at free will by the grace of allah. Again i’ll advise the brothers and sisters to well plan and be prepared for hardships, as the people of these areas are as tough as mountains, they live without gas and electricity, so you should prepare yourself to live like that, in the mud houses…

     “The Virtues Of Encouraging Jihad:
     .
     Allah says:
     .
     “So fight, [O Muhammad], in the cause of Allah; you are not held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers [to join you] that perhaps Allah will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. And Allah is greater in might and stronger in punishment”
     —
     [Surah an-Nisa, Ayah 84]

     Allah says:
     .
     “O Prophet, urge the believers to battle. If there are among you twenty steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you one hundred steadfast, they will overcome a thousand of those who have disbelieved because they are people who do not understand”

     [Surah Al-Anfal, Ayat 65]

     51. We will end this chapter with the famous story of Umm Ibrahim. This story was mentioned by scholars like Abu Jaafar al Luban. He narrates:
     .
     It is mentioned that one of the righteous women in Basra was Umm Ibrahim al Hashimeeyah. The enemy attacked one of the Muslim towns so people were encouraged to join jihad. Abdul Wahid bin Zayd al Basri delivered a speech encouraging jihad and among the audience was Umm Ibrahim. Among the things Abdul Wahid talked about was al Hoor (the women of Paradise). Umm Ibrahim stood up and said to Abdul Wahid: “You know my son Ibrahim and you know that the nobility of al Basra wish to have him marry one of their daughters and I have not agreed to one of them yet. But I like this girl you described and I would be happy to marry her to my son. Can you please describe her again?”
     .
     Abdul Wahid then narrated a poem in the description of the Hoor. Umm Ibrahim said: “I want my son to marry this girl and I would pay you 10,000 dinars as her dowry and you take him with you in this army. He might die as a Shaheed and intercede for me on the Day of Judgment.” Abdul Wahid said: “If you do so, that is great success for you and your son.” She then called her son from the audience. He stood up and said: “Yes my mother!” She said: “Are you pleased to marry this girl with the condition of giving your soul to Allah?” He said: “Yes! I am very pleased!” She said: “O Allah you are my witness that I have married my son to this girl from Paradise with the condition he spends his soul in your sake” Then she went and brought back with her 10,000 dinars and gave it to Abdul Wahid and said: “This is her dowry. Take it and use it to provide for the mujahideen” She then purchased for her son a good horse and she
     armed him. When the army started its march Ibrahim came out with the reciters of Quran surrounding him and reciting:
     .
     “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise.”
     .
     When Umm Ibrahim was greeting her son she told him: “Be careful and don’t allow any shortcomings from yourself to be seen by Allah” She them embraced him and kissed him and said: “May Allah never bring us together except on the Day of Judgment!”
     .
     Abdul Wahid said: “When we reached the enemy’s territory and people were called to fight. Ibrahim was in the front and he killed many of the enemy but then they overwhelmed him and killed him. On our way back I told my soldiers not to tell Umm Ibrahim that her son was killed until I tell her. When we entered al Basra she met me and said: “Did Allah accept my gift so I can celebrate or was it rejected so I should cry?” I said: “Allah did accept your gift and your son died as a Shaheed” She then prostrated to thank Allah and said: “Thank you Allah for accepting my gift” The following day she came to me in the mosque and said: “Rejoice!” I said: “What good news do you have?” She said: “I saw my son Ibrahim last night in a dream. He was in a beautiful garden dressed in green clothes, sitting on a throne made of pearl and he had a crown on his head. He told me: “Rejoice my mother! I got married to my bride!”

     It is indeed a sad day when we have people like Geore Gallaway who I do not think is a muslim (maybe I am wrong) speak more harshly then our so called Muslim leaders and presidents. If he is enraged at what is going on why the hell aren’t our leaders? Indeed the time for talk is long over.

     Very strange, I neither become confused nor I chose a way with the seculars against the Islam, despite the fact that my Government is in danger, my leadership and my authority is in danger, my life is in danger, I am still ready to sacrifice my life. If I reconcile with Kuffar and chose a way which they want me to and fix my affairs with them then as a result all of my affairs will be stable, my amarat and State both will prevail and I will have a lot of money and protocol just like the Rulers of other countries, but I am ready to sacrifice every thing for the sake of Islam. I am ready to do any thing, I don’t care for any thing, I have made up my mind to sacrifice my power, government and state, I have Islamic Ghaira( honor), I am proud of Islam and have honor on this sacred homeland.

     Although I appreciate the various post on computer security I think that if we are always concern about that then we wouldn’t do anything anymore. we are only human and the fear of someone tracking you on the internet might hinder you visiting and reading from beneficial sites like Imam Anwar’s. For every time you boot your computer you think about hackers. If we read about our Imams who have been imprisoned, on what basis were they? on what basis was Imam Anwar imprisoned? If I’m not wrong even he wasn’t informed (please correct me if I’m wrong) all our brothers in guantanamo are there because they are muslims in every sense of it. I can’t help but think that if our faith is so weak that we think about what the kuffar would do when they suspect us then what are we going to do when we face them on the battle field? They will accuse you even if you are ‘MODERATE’. Tie your camel first then trust Allah but not fear the kuffar’s accusation first then fear Allah. We have examples from Abu Bakr as siddique, Umar ibn al-Khattab radiaAllahu anhum when they went for hijra.

     and Allah says “SO FEAR ME AND FEAR THEM NOT” and Allah knows best.

     Well what of today as we left our beds for fajr returned for our breakfasts and enter into a new day in the dunyia.

     Our brothers and sisters are still been targeted in an unjust attempt to oust a democratically ( by western standards) government and therein lies the hypocrisy.

     The UN Human Rights Council. ( not really) voted 33 to 1 that a crisis was in process. Canada voted against it, America is not part of it and the abstentions were the whole of the EU.

     What does that tell us?

     The ummah is going through severe tests and no-one will come to the aid of the brothers except those who truly have emaan. Some Arab leaders fear for their seats of power they perceive a widening threat if they join in and have forgotten the power of Allah (The Almighty).

     At the moment the jews around Europe are taking to the streets to present their case which is empty. They have become like those that they detested. They are creating the holocaust and perputating a war that they cannot win except through complete extermination. What they have forgotten has have the rest of the world is the Muslims will be victorious. It might not be in our lifetime or the lifetime of our offspring, but at some point in time that only Allah the all knowing is aware of the Muslims will kill all the jews for his sake and will engage in a war which will see the defeat of the Christians. It doesn’t matter how many of the Muslims they kill for every Muslim is inshallah a shaheed with the permission of Allah and everyone of theirs if they do not repent and accept Islam is fuel for the fire of hell and they will remain there forever.

     It does not matter whether the Kuffar believe it or not it is a fact a pure truth on which if gambling was halal a man would become the richest in the world if he was to bet on the outcome.

     Whoever Allah guides none can misguide and whoever he misguides none can guide.

     Asalamualkum brothers and sisters

     Mashallah, I have enjoyed reading all these comments. I have came across few comments that I want to stress more of. As brother Zakaria, spops, and Um Umar. Sisters that are single and are interested to make hijrah but don’t have muhram, they should start something that they can communicate with the strong brothers that have the common interest (hijrah). My suggestions are and if i’m wrong maybe the Sh. Anwar can add his wisdom, inshallah. That they can email each other and see their situations and communicate (ofcourse, everything halal) and be very firm with the questions, and whoever the brother or sister be that they be aware of the shaitian coming and making fitnah out of this pure thing..so inshallah if anyone agree or disagree of what my suggestion please feel free to say your side..jazakuallah khair..And since I am a brother that is interested in making hijrah and is looking for a sister with common interest..I will post my email.

     The reality of Hijrah:- Part 1

     I made Hijrah a number of years ago from my native land to the land of the Muslims. My experiences whilst living here have been mixed. Since, making hijrah i have not returned to my home country and I have no intention of returning.

     I hope that what I am about to say will help those of you who are thinking about making the move.

     The first things is that making Hijrah is not something you just get up and do one day. It is not from the sunnah to do this, but the prophetic methodology involves preparation and patience. All of the stories you read about the sahabah’s hijrah show great sacrifice so be prepared for that.

     First on the list is to know that there are no ansar waiting to greet you and welcome you into their homes. However, the Muslims when they get to know you will help if you need it.

     Therefore bearing the first point in mind it is best to secure employment before you leave your homeland if you can.

     Second point, be prepared for lots of trying moments with beaucratic issues. It will help tremendously if you know people in the country you are making Hijrah too. They can provide so much help in the beginning and believe me you will need it.

     If you secure employment make sure to read all the contract as there is no good crying over spilt milk.

     Fourth, for those people with dual nationality such as Pakistani life will be much easier as returning to Pakistan will be returning home.

     Fifth, language issues. It is advisable from the sunnah and from my own experiences that you have at least a working knowledge of the language you intend to make hijrah to.
     Don’t expect everyone to speak English and even if they do it will not always be used.

     Next, if your employer is not giving you an advance on your salary then expect to wait anything up to 3 months for your first salary as no one is in a rush to process funds as they believe that everyone coming from the land of milk and honey (the west) has an everending bank account and a long line of credit as they do.

     Next, if you are expecting to find the sahabah practicing forget it. If you think that you will find dirse every where forget it. Although some countries are much better than others.

     Okay on to education. YOu will not find the same standard as you find in your own country unless it comes with the contract or you pay for it. The standard of teachers leaves a lot to be desired. Other issues are homosexuality and lesbianism. It is here so do not fool yourself.

     Finally don’t think that your own country will forget about you and leave you to enjoy your hijrah in peace. I and many others have been harassed by our own governments intell services as well as the intell services of the countries I have stayed in.

     In Syria they had the neighbours follow me around, they threatened our Syrian friends and left messages with neighbours that we should be careful with the children. It ws beacause of this that we left Syria.

     I don’t want to mention the countries too much as the kuffar monitoring this site are already wanting more intell so that they can shut down opportunities for hijrah.

350. Brother Al Khurasani says:
     January 13, 2009 - الثلاثاء 17 محرم 1430 at 4:04 pm

     I agree with brother ENfiru, he is quite right, these are not Ulama, they are just siting on the member of ulama and actually they can be Jews or Christians or Mushriks, in the time of Sallahudin the same thing was conspired by Kuffar, they appointed their own people in the seats of Qazi and in the security guards of Sultan. and some times evern the closest friends of Sultan turned out to be traitors. This is not new to us, we must recognize these Kuffars in the skin of Muslims. History is just repeating itself, and one thing i can smell victory is NEAR InshaAllah.
     May Allah have mercy on us and give victory to brothers in Falestine. (amin)

     Bismillah, as salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah

     Hijrah part 2:

     From mine and others experiences do not stay illegally in a country if you get caught you will be classed as a terrorist and be sold to the highest bidder or at least you will be charged for overstaying your initial visa and then shipped out.

     When you settle try to network to find a good and respectable family tribe that in the event of an emergency will vouch for you and smooth over any problems that occur. Allah has saved me on a number of occassions through this method.

     Research the country (sorry this should have been first on the list) thoroughly. Make sure you have a guide book and as much up to date relevant information as possible. Contact people who you know and trust for evaluations. Speak to people of knowledge and ask them for advice. Make istikahrah and ask Allah to make it easy.

     Remember to make sure if you are leaving any ties to the country you are in such as bank accounts that you can always access the money 24/7. If you cut all ties then convert as much of the money as you can into Gold and use the rest for setting up expenses.

     In one country I was in they had no dirse whatsever it was not allowed for sunnah Muslims to have dirse without the governments approval. Apart from the dirse issue the country was very lienent with Muslims from overseas and with foreigners which was a problem. This leniency led them to not be bothered by the fact that at the college I worked at there were homosexuals, drunkards, lesbians and perverts. You will find that all the worst elements of kuffar are sent to the Muslims countries to lower their emaan and drag them into the depths of depravity. I thought about writing a book just about my college experiences, but then again! At the college we had effeminates and intel agents for the kuffar it was an amazing time as we battled with bilmaruf and anhil munkar. Do not think that the people in charge will care! what do you say when the head of the college doesn’t pray and treats the kuffar with kid gloves.

     Even after all I have seen and witnessed I have emerged with a lot of experience and Allah has expanded my knowledge in many areas which would otherwise have remained closed.

     Finally, if anyone has relevant qualifications and is known to the shaikh would like to work in the Gulf then you can send your CV through admin who will forward it to me and I will give it to the brothers whom I know here. May Allah make it easy for all those who have a strong and sincere intention to make hijrah.

     LESSON AND MORALITIES FROM BATTLE OF UHUD: (from Ar-Rahheq Al-Makhtum by Safiur Rehman Al Mubarakpuri)

     Ibn Al-Qaiyim has made a pointed reference to the battle of Uhud and given full elucidation of the Divine benefits and moralities that resulted from it. Some Muslim scholars, on the authority of Ibn Hajar, said: The reverse in Uhud resulted from the neglect on the part of the archers of the explicit command of the Prophet (Peace be upon him), and leaving the spot which they were ordered to safeguard to the end. In other words, the success of the Muslims depends upon their obedience to the Prophet (Peace be upon him). As long as they carry out his behests, Allâh will help them in facing all kinds of odds. But when they will set aside his commands in their pursuit of worldly riches, they are bound to come to grief.

     Another relevant issue of great significance says that it is customary for Prophets to be tried with different adversities; nevertheless, the final outcome is positively in their favor. Should the Muslims be victorious all the time, great many pretenders to Faith will enter the fold of Islam, and consequently the clear line of demarcation between true believers and hypocrites will become blurred. Contrarily, if the Muslims were to be defeated all the time, the final objective of the ministry of Prophets will not be affected. It is wise then to combine both success and failure so that sifting between true Muslims and hypocrites could be realized.

     In the aftermath of the battle of Uhud, the hypocrites disclosed their real intentions in words and in deeds, consequently, the Muslims got to realize the existence of those wicked elements working secretly in their own homeland; and of course there would be appropriate measures to be taken in due course of time.

     A third point in this context refers to purposeful deferment of victory in some areas in order to check the pride of the soul and teach the believers how to observe full patience in times of adversity. Trials and tests are provided by Allâh in order that the true believers could deservedly occupy their abode in the blessed Hereafter. Martyrdom, the highest ranks that the true friends of Allâh could occupy, is provided by Allâh to function as a passport, granted by the Lord, leading to Paradise. In brief, fight in the cause of Allâh is a golden opportunity for the true believers to have their sins effaced, and a Divinely-devised event for the disbelievers and enemies of Allâh to face destruction and annihilation in recompense for their disbelief, tyranny and transgression.

     Seriously the jews like to marry their daughters to powerful ‘gentiles’ especially arabs.. and then the husband and the kids are full on zionists.. even though they may pretend to be muslims… and maybe the jew woman is an arab jew… this is how they get in the inside… and in no other place like Egypt are the jews just walking around freely doing as they please… this is could seriously be the case in Egypt.. and who knows maybe this type of stuff was happening with the familes of the rulers of Arab countries before the West put them in power after World War One… they could be full on jews.. they certainly act that way. But either way they still should be dealt with in the same manner

358. Salah says:
     January 13, 2009 - الثلاثاء 17 محرم 1430 at 8:42 pm

     Also there is no having great relationship with the United States and at the same time ‘hating’ Israel… the same zionists that run Israel run the United States.. they are one and the same..
     Also just another note. jews who pretend that they are against the actions of Israel are usually liars and are normally zionists spies.. a great example is norman finklestein.. the dude is a complete zionist spy trying to control the voice of the opposition in a way that is beneficial to the zionist movement.. plus they like to keep a low profile so people do not catch on to the fact that all the jews in the media and other places are zionists agents strategically placed there.. for example John Stewart is also definetly a zionist agent as well

     @Umeljihad – as salamu alaikum okhti. I feel your pain and would love the same thing you would love perhaps u are better than I. your intention counts and please do make dua’ everytime u get a chnce to for Allah swt to guide you to that which is pleasing to Him awj. if you can make long sujud and get up in the midlle of the night and humble yourself to your Lord ta’ala and beg. this is directed to the rest of us who are here. i agree with what umm umar and spops said. insha Allah you get married to a righteous mujhid brother feesabilillah who would love to make hijrah too and the noble calling. bring up your kids in an islamic environment and please dont push ur kids more in secular education and abandon islamic education like a lot of parents today have done. stay around people who remind you of the hereafter and who do righteous acts so you may have the spiritual hijrah. read up on these 44 ways u can help in this cause because each one of us will be asked about what we did when all these things were happening. we have no excuse especially since now we have been given advice on different ways we can help. so if you are restricted then make dua and do atleast what you can handle. Allah ta3ala is Al Rahman and insha Allah will count your intention and the more you strive Allah azza wa jal will make it easy for you and guide you to the paths.

     TRans. 29:70 “And as for those who strive in Our path, We will surely guide them in Our ways. And verily Allah is with those who do good.”

     trans. 9:20 “Those who believe and emigrate from their homes for the sake of God and strive in the cause of Allah with their property and their persons have the highest rank in the sight of Allah. And it is they who shall triumph.”

     @ ummusama – it is good to be cautious. these lands claim to have freedom of speech and whatnot. for sure as you quoted, “SO FEAR ME AND FEAR THEM NOT” . and for sure Allah azza wa jal is able to do anything He awj permits. He swt may make them blind and not really see and make them deaf and them not really hear.

     As-Salaamu Alaykum,

     Your preaching is too militant and belligerent. You do not restrain your fiery rhetoric and you mislead the youth into supporting dubious cuases like that of Al-Qaeda.

     You also preach explicit hatred in the name of “Al-Wala wal-Bara.” You are no different than any other evangelical bigot who preaches hatred of others.

     Have you not read Ihya Uloom Ud-Deen by Imam Ghazali and his section on the evils of hatred? He is a far better scholar than you because you are an epigone, you simply repeat the mistakes of others.

     I have read the Sunnah and the Prophet SAW does not act in hatred.

     Your militant, hate-mongering fundamentalism is coming to an end.

     By the way, your so-called “jihad” is nothing more than an excuse to sieze political power and dominate others. We don’t buy it so stop selling it.

     Furthermore, your reference to alleged conspiracies against Islam is without basis. You seem to be like any other conspiracy nut.

     Where did you get this information? From the Neo-Nazi book Protocols of the Elders of Zion? You wouldn’t be the first Muslim to take his Aqeedah from the Nazis.

     Your rhetoric is dangerous and inflammatory. How dare you quote Imam Nawawi. Imam Nawawi believed in the universal brotherhood and dignity of people. You only seem concerned about making people fight and hate each other and believing half-baked conspiracies.

     I am sick of Muslims like you, absolutely sick.

     You said “The hatred of kuffar is a central element of our military creed.”

     But Imam Bukhari in Adab Al-Mufrad recorded in his chapter “Love between people” that the Prophet SAW said, “By the One in whose hand is my soul, you will enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love each other. Spread peace, then you will love each other. Beware of hatred (bigdah) for it is a razor. It does not cut hair but it cuts religion.”

     Imam Bukhari obviously narrated this hadeeth as a general moral injunction to spread love, peace, and good relationships between people, and to warn against the disease of hatred. You and your hate-filled ilk, however, would like to spread rancor among the Muslims ranks.

     I cannot believe self-proclaimed shuyookh like yourself are so arrogant, so unfair towards people you perceive to be outside the fold.

     DO US A FAVOR AND SHUT UP BEFORE YOU CONVINCE A YOUNG TEENAGER TO STRAP A BOMB TO HIMSELF TO BLOW UP PEOPLE HE HATES, NOT BECAUSE THE PROPHET COMMANDED, BUT BECAUSE HE FOLLOWED A PETTY HATEMONGER LIKE YOU.

     YOU DISGUST ME.

     I agree with Salah on many issues related to infiltration within the ranks of the Muslims.

     There many cases in history and even up today regarding these things. The watchword is “Tie your camel” and “Choose your friends carefully”

     I myself limit the number of brothers to a handful it is safer for them and for me. A secret is only a secret when no one knows. Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) trusted only one sahabah with the names of the Munafiqeen.

     What are we really saying here! What kind of Muslim can watch while innocent men, women and children are slaughtered and you have the power to do something. You have the biggest army in the ME sitting in Saudi, you hold some of the largest oil reserves. Egypt can just open a gate.

     Their Kufr Is Worse than Their Bombing of Gaza!

     Their Kufr Is Worse than Their Bombing of Gaza!
     In the Name of Allah, we praise Him and invoke peace and blessings upon His Messenger.
     While we are all following the attacks on our brothers and sisters in Gaza in increasing anger, it is necessary to remember an essential theological concept with every dead woman or child we see on TV lying in a pile of rubble: our enmity towards this accursed nation should be first and foremost because of their kufr. Their offenses against Allah and His Prophets since the start of their miserable existence far outweigh in evil and vileness all of the bombs, missiles, killing, starvation, and expulsion they have afflicted us with since 1948.
     When one looks through their history, one finds example after nauseating example of stubbornness, rejection, and mockery of the signs of Allah. By Allah, every time I go back and read their tragic stories with Prophet Musa, I still shake my head at how a group can be filled with such stubborn disbelief despite the presence of a real live Messenger from Allah in their midst, and it is during such reflection that one comes to understand the Prophet Muhammad’s words: “Glad tidings seven times to the one who believes in me without seeing me.”
     Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned in ‘Ighathat al-Lahfan’ (2/306):
     “Muhammad bin Ishaq narrated that when Musa returned to his people and saw how they were worshipping the cow and said to his brother and as-Samiri what he said, and he burned the cow and threw it in the river, Musa then chose seventy of their best men and said: “Go to Allah and repent to Him from what you have done, and ask Him to repent unto those of your people you have left behind. So, fast and purify yourselves and your intentions.” So, he went out with them to Mount Sinai for an appointment he made with his Lord, and he would never approach to meet Him without His permission. So, the seventy men said to him: “O Musa, ask your Lord for us to let us hear His Speech.” He said “I will do so,” and when Musa got close to the mountain, he was shaded with clouds until they overwhelmed the entire mountain. He got closer and entered the mountain, saying to his people: “Get closer.” When Musa would speak with his Lord, his face would be covered with such a dazzling light that no human being could look at him. So, a barrier was placed between he and his people, and they approached until they entered the area that was covered by the clouds. They fell prostrating and heard Allah Speaking to Musa, issuing commands and prohibitions. When Allah was done doing so, He removed the clouds from around Musa, and Musa came out to them and they said to him: “We will not believe in you until we see Allah out in the open!” So, a lightning bolt struck them, and they all died.”
     Imagine, this was the state of the seventy best men from the Children of Israel!
     Ibn al-Qayyim continued a few pages later (2/311):
     “When they were presented with the Torah, they did not accept it despite the fact that they had personally witnessed the signs that they had witnessed. So, Allah commanded Jibril to uproot an entire mountain and hold it over their heads, saying to them: “If you do not accept it, I will throw this on you.” So, they accepted it unwillingly, and Allah Said: {“And when We raised the mountain over them as if it had been a canopy, and they thought that it was going to fall on them, We said: “Hold firmly to what We have given you, and remember that which is therein so that you may fear Allah and obey Him.””} [al-A'raf; 171]
     ‘Abdullah bin Wahb said that Ibn Zayd said: “When Musa returned from his Lord with the Tablets, he said to the Children of Israel: “These Tablets contain the Book of Allah and His commands that He has commanded you with, as well as His prohibitions that He has prohibited you from.” So, they said: “And who would listen to you? No, by Allah, we will not accept this until we see Allah out in the open, until He comes out to us and says: ‘This is My Book. So, take it.’ Why doesn’t He Speak to us like He does with you, Musa?” So, such anger came from Allah that a lightning bolt struck them, killing them all. Allah then brought them back to life after they had died, and Musa said to them: “Take the Book of Allah.” They said: “No.” So, he asked them: “Don’t you know what just happened to you?” They replied: “Yes, we died and were brought back to life.” He said again: “Take the Book of Allah,” and they again refused. So, Allah sent the Angels to take a mountain and hold it over their heads, saying: “Do you know what this is?” They said: “Yes, Mount Tur.” The Angels said: “Take the Book of Allah, or we will throw this on top of you.” So, they took it through a covenant.””
     In these two aforementioned stories, one cannot help but cringe at the horrible manners displayed with their Prophet, and before that: Allah! This comes despite the mercy and politeness of Musa in addressing them, as well as Allah’s Mercy in giving them chance after chance to repent and accept what was so blatant and clear, even bringing them back to life to ponder over their transgressions for which they were killed.
     However, it doesn’t stop there.
     This blasphemy was complemented by their worship of a golden calf immediately after seeing the Red Sea open up and swallow Fir’awn, a manifestation of Allah’s Might!
     It was complemented by their accusations against Allah of being poor and stingy, and that He had a son!
     It was complemented by their taking their rabbis as lords besides Allah, obeying them in what they legislated in opposition to their Shari’ah!
     It was complemented by their accusations against the progeny of Prophet Ya’qub of illicit sexual relations, such that Prophet Dawud was the product of adultery!
     It was complemented by their accusations against Prophet Lut that he fornicated with his two daughters – while he was drunk!
     It was complemented by their accusations against Prophet Yusuf of being a fornicator!
     It was complemented by their accusations against Maryam of being a whore, such that Prophet ‘Isa was a bastard child!
     It was complemented by their accusations against Prophet Sulayman of being a magician, just as they claim about Prophet ‘Isa!
     And it doesn’t stop there! Their position towards the Prophets and Messengers sent to them was not limited to mere rejection, insults, and disbelief in their messages. Rather, their seething hatred to anything divine led them to take the ultimate step of transgression: murdering the Prophets of Allah! From the Prophets of the Children of Israel up to our own Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them all), this accursed group combined the crime of kufr with the crimes of murder and arrogance. They historically boast of having allegedly crucified ‘Isa, and with our own Prophet in their midst, they attempted to murder him by dropping a boulder on his head, poison him, cast a spell on him, ally with the polytheists against him, break their pacts with him, and on and on.
     Such was the experience of the Prophets and Messengers appointed by Allah with the Children of Israel, and our love of Allah and His Books and Messengers transcends that of our love for ourselves, and even for our brothers and sisters in faith. Therefore, while the believer feels gallantry and jealousy for his oppressed brothers and sisters in Palestine, this feeling should be magnified many times over for our Lord, Book, and Prophets such that our hearts burn in passion with their priorities in proper order…
     {“Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrahim and those with him when they said to their people: “Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allah. We have rejected you, and there has started between us and you hostility and hatred forever until you believe in Allah, alone…””} [al-Mumtahanah; 4]
     And Allah Knows best.

But, since it hasn’t been updated, I can’t help but to respond to your stupidity, even though I will be lowering myself to even respond to you. You’re a hypocrite, because you’re the only one barking hate from where I’m looking. Our beloved Imam Anwar preaches love for Allah almighty. So why don’t you take your ignorance, and your hateful, meant to insult words and leave this precious site because it is too clean for the likes of you. And please let the door hit you on the way out.

     ps…your ignorance will be ignored, Imam Anwar doesn’t respond to idiots like you, he knows your just trying to get his attention.

374. American Muslim for Jihad says:
     January 14, 2009 - الأربعاء 18 محرم 1430 at 6:36 am

     Definition of Jihad:
     The linguistic meaning:
     • Lisan Alarab: Fighting the enemy. It involves using all effort in words and deeds.
     • Mujam matn al lughah: Jihad is commonly used to refer to waging war for the sake of Al-haqq (the truth)
     In Islamic terminology it means:
     Calling towards the true religion and fighting with one’s soul and wealth against those who reject it. (Al Inayah Sharh al Hidayah (Hanafi))
     Jihad is fighting. (Al Sheerazi in al Muhadhab (Shafi’i)
     Jihad is a Muslim waging war agianst a non-Muslim who has no peace agreement with Muslims and the fighting is for the sake of the word of Allah to prevail. Jihad is also fighting the non-Muslim who attacks Muslim territory and it is also the Muslims attacking the non-Muslims in their land. (Mawahib al Jaleel fi Sharh Mukhtasar Khalil (Maliki))
     Jihad is a cure for the individual and the society. It cures the individual by delivering him from the sickness of disbelief to the wellbeing of Islam. Disbelieving in Allah is the greatest disease of all and the most destructive on all humanity, while Islam is the complete cure. Jihad cures the society
     5 Ghaayat Al-Muraad fee Gadaayaa Al-Jihaad by Sheikh Alee bin Haaj
     6 An assassinated sheikh about who Time magazine writes “…he is responsible for reviving jihaad this century.”, and as Muslims we know the reward for he who revives a forgotten sunnah, let alone a forgotten fard !
     - 8 -
     by eliminating the source of corruption and oppression. Leaving the disbeliever unharmed increases the disease and strengthens it and allows the cancer to spread. Therefore Islam cannot flourish and Muslims cannot live in peace unless the disease is cured. If it is possible to cure the disease by using a medicine then be it. Otherwise the infected portion must be amputated even though the amputation could cause pain and suffering for the body. But then no one could claim that the amputation cruel or inhumane. It was necessary for the survival of the body. That is precisely the role of Jihad in Islam. First the message should be conveyed through peaceful means. If the peaceful course is exhausted and it did not bear its fruits, the bearers of the truth would need to draw their swords and fight in order for the word of Allah to prevail.
     Important terms:
     Ribaat: Is the stationing in a land bordering the enemy for the purpose of jihad. The land of Ribaat is a land that is under threat of attack by the enemies of Islam. The one who is stationed in Ribaat is called a Murabit
     Qazw: Linguistically refers to “pursuit” It is used in Islamic terminology to refer to pursuing the enemy in order to fight him.
     The ruling of Jihad:
     There are two types of fardh (duty) in Islam: Fardh Ayn and fardh kifayah.
     Fardh Ayn (individual duty): This is a mandatory duty that must be performed by everyone. Examples of this type of duty are the five daily prayers and fasting.
     Fard kifayah (collective duty): This is a mandatory duty that must be done. If some Muslims fulfill it then the rest are releived of the duty. Example of this type of duty is enjoining good and forbidding evil. This is a duty that must be done in the Ummah. If some Muslims fulfill that duty then the rest are reliefed of the duty but if they don’t then the whole Muslim Ummah is sinful until the duty is fulfilled. Another example would be the Adhan. According to some schools of thought the adhan is fardh kifayah. If Adhan is not performed in a Muslim community then they are all held accountable for that until one of them performs it.
     Jihad is a collective duty (fardh kifayah). (A command which is imperative upon all to perform it, but if some do perform it, it will be sufficient). That – 9 -
     is the opinion of the majority of scholars. In al Hidayah (Hanafi) it states that: Fighting the non-believers is mandatory even if they do not initiate war and that is according the general texts of Islam.
     Al Mugni: Jihad becomes an individual duty in three cases: 1) When the armies meet it is mandatory to fight and not flee. 2) If the non-believers descend on Muslim territory. 3) If the Imam calls for war it is mandatory on every able Muslim to respond.
     Ibn Hazm: Jihad is mandatory on Muslims. If some do fulfill the duty by protecting our borders, and fighting the enemies in their own land and conquering it, then the other Muslims are relieved of the duty otherwise it is a duty on each one of them according the verse: “Go forth, whether light of heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. That is better for you, if you only knew”
     The classification of Jihad into minor and major Jihad:
     The hadith of “We returned from the minor Jihad to the major Jihad” is fabricated. It hasn’t been narrated by any of the scholars of hadith.
     Ibn Taymiyah states: The hadith of “We returned from the minor Jihad to the major Jihad” is fabricated and is not narrated by any of the scholars who have knowledge of the words of Rasulullah, his actions and his Jihad against the nonbelievers. In fact Jihad against Kufar is among the greatest of deeds. Indeed it is the greatest voluntary deed a human could do.
     Evidence that Jihad is overwhelmingly used to refer to fighting non-believers:
     1. The objection of women: When women came to the Messenger of Allah and complained that the men join you in jihad while we don’t. The Messenger of Allah told them that the jihad of women is hajj.
     It is obvious here that jihad refers to combat. If it meant struggle of the soul then why can’t the women do it?
     2. Simply look at the table of context of the books written by our traditional scholars. In their books the chapter titled jihad only refers to fighting. If they understood it to directly include other meanings this would have been reflected in their writings. As an example of what I stated you can refer to the following books and take a look at the chapter of Jihad (notice that they called it Jihad and not Qitall (fighting)): Al Mughni by ibn Qudamah– Al Umm by Imam Shafi’i – Al
     - 10 -
     Mudawanah by Imam Malik -The three commentaries on Mukhtasar Khalil by Al Kharshi, Alaysh and Al Hatab – Al Muhala by Ibn Hazm – Subul Al Salam – Nayl Al Awtar – Al Fatawa al Kubra by Ibn Taymiyah.
     3. The meaning of these hadiths referring to jihad can only mean fighting. For example:
     • Abu Huraira states that the Messenger of Allah was asked: “Is there any deed equivalent to jihad?” He said, “Yes, but you wont be able to do it” The third time he said, “What is equivalent to the mujahid is the one who is fasting, and praying continuously until the mujahid comes back”7 In other words comes back from combat. Coming back from struggle of the soul would make no sense.
     • Abu Hurairah states that the Messenger of Allah was asked, “O Messenger of Allah, guide me to a deed equivalent to jihad” He said, “I don’t find any!” Then he said, “When the mujahid goes on jihad, can you enter your masjid and pray continuously, and fast and never break your fast?” The man said, “and who could do that!”8
     • Abu Huraira narrates that one of the companions passed by a spring of fresh water in a valley. He said if I seclude myself from people and stay in this valley (to worship Allah). But I wont do so until I seek permission from the Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah said, “Don’t do so. The posting of one of you in the path of Allah is better than his prayer in his house for seventy years. Don’t you want Allah to forgive you and enter you into Paradise? Fight (iqzoo) in the path of Allah. For whoever fights (katal) in the path of Allah a time equivalent to that of milking a camel, Paradise is guaranteed for him”9. So this Sahabi who wanted to live in seclusion to make jihad al nafs was told not to do so.
     Not only that but also whenever “fi sabeel illah” (in the cause, way or path of Allah) is used it is understood to mean fighting.
     Ibn Hajjar states that: Whenever “fi sabeel illah” is used in a general sense it refers to fighting in the path of Allah.
     7 (Muslim)
     8 (Bukhari)
     9 Tirmithi (sahih)
     - 11 -
     In al Mussanaf by Ibn Abi Shaybah and al sunnan al kubra by al Bayhaqi:
     Abu Bakr al Siddeeq escorted an army and walked with them and then said: “Praise be to Allah for having dust on our feet in his cause.” A man said: “But we just escorted them and gave them farewell?” Abu Bakr said: “We prepared them, gave them farewell and made prayers for them” Over here you see that the man questioned Abu Bakr claim that “we had our feet dirty in the cause of Allah” This is because the man understands that to mean in the battleground. Abu Bakr explained to him that it would also include the ones who support and provide for the fighters.
     Also this following hadith can only be understood in light of the aforementioned definition of “in the path of Allah”:
     Salman al Farisi said: The Messenger of Allah said: “Being stationed in the path of Allah for a day is greater than fasting the days of a month and praying its nights. And if he dies his rewards of the deeds he used to do would continue and his provisions would continue and he would be spared the trial of the angels of the grave”10
     If “in the path of Allah” is general and includes all good deeds, then there is no meaning in saying that it is better than the fasting and praying of a month. So it must have a specific meaning, and that is fighting.
     Abdullah bin Amr narrated: The Messenger of Allah said: “Two eyes will not be touched by Hellfire: An eye that cries from the fear of Allah, and an eye that spent the night in a guard post in the path of Allah.”11
     The whole concept of guarding in the path of Allah would only make sense if it is in the context of fighting.
     Amr bin Absah said we were laying siege to al Taif and I heard the Messenger of Allah say: “Whoever shoots an arrow in the sake of Allah will be rewarded like one who has freed a slave” Amr said I shot 16 arrows on that day.”12
     Shooting arrows can only be in fighting.13

     American Muslim,

     Woe to you! Do you think this religion came without one cut of a sword? Do you think this religion came to be by backing down to oppression and backing down to the Kafr?

     Look into the history of not just this ummah but the ummah of any nabi and see what it takes to get results!

     Did prophet Lut (alay salam) make peace with the fags? He warned them and when the warning was over Allah sent a punishment that none has ever seen!

     Did Musa (alay salam) make peace with Faroon? He warned him and gave him many signs from Allah but when the warnings were over Allah destroyed him in the sea!

     Or should we consider Prophet Noah (alay salam)? Allah drowned the ENTIRE world except for the believers!

     You claim that brother Anwars advice will never work and that Jihad is not good advice!?

     Indeed your advice has been the exact cause of why the ummah is humiliated day and night without end for the last few hundred years.

     When our jihad stopped so did the victory of Allah!

     Do you think Jersulam would be in the hand of the Yahood if we had Jihad 60 years ago? Do you think Saudi Arabia, Egypt and all the other fake gov’ts in the middle east would be in the state they are if we had jihad?

     You want brother Anwar to prove his points???? I have never witnessed ANY of his points without him referencing the Quran and Sunnah!

     How about you do all of us “hate-filled jihadist’s” a favor and prove your points. If you do this I will gladly follow you…I will wait patiently…

     Bismillah,

     Quit crying American Muslim you baby. Islam is so weak now because people like you who are too afraid to fight.

     Where did you get this from?:
     “By the One in whose hand is my soul, you will enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love each other. Spread peace, then you will love each other. Beware of hatred (bigdah) for it is a razor. It does not cut hair but it cuts religion.”
     I checked multiple translations and none had a chapter called “Love between people”

     I believe this hadeeth is referring to your Muslim Brothers.

     Our beloved Prophet (saw) said: “I came as a mercy to the world, but I also came with the Sword”

     Allah (swt) clearly states in 60:1
     “O ye who believe! Take not My enemies and yours as friends (or protectors)― offering them (your) love, even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have (on the contrary) driven out the Messenger and yourselves (from your homes), (simply) because ye believe in Allah your Lord!” (Yusuf Ali translation)

     Also in 5:51 and 57 a similar statement is made by swt.

     In 9:24 Allah swt says: “Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline; or the dwellings in which ye delight― are dearer to you than Allah or His Messenger or the striving (Jihad) in His cause; then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious.

     Let me ask you something. If someone were to come to steal your money every single day, would you love him? If someone were to beat you every single day, would you love him? If someone were to follow you around and preventing you from eating and drinking except for the bare minimal, would you love him? If someone were to torture your father, rape your mother and sister, kill your children, would you love them? No you wouldn’t. You’d do whatever you could to try and help them and punish the criminals. But these zionists and crusader devils who have transgressed all boundaries have committed a faaaaaar greater sin. That sin is known as Shirk.

     May Allah (swt) guide you.

     My beloved brothers and sisters in Islam, I love you all for the sake of Allah (swt). May Allah (swt) unite us in Jennat il-firdaus. If I made any mistakes, I ask Allah for his forgiveness and I ask you to please correct me.

     Was-Salaamu ‘Alaykum.

     @american muslim – you are one of the reasons why i do not want to stay in this filth. the fact that one loses wala wal bara and has no ounce of feeling towards your brothers and sisters.
     first off i really would request you to go back and study islamic history and also more about all the pious scholars and what their views on jihad were. And i wonder what you think of the verses in the quran that talk about jhad. there is a certain sickness in the ummah that people have and we seek refuge with Allah azza wa jaal from this evil, it is when we think we are more merciful than Allah awj. He ta3ala set rules out there for us, so such people think they are so good and merciful and start to try to change the way Allah ordered. a pity!

     please do us a favor and do not try to put violence next to jihad. violence = unislamic; jihad = halal

     as muslims, we do not get angry for ourselves, but for the sake of Allah. we hate for the sake of Allah and love for the sake of Allah.
     YOU DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO STUDY MORE and perhaps read up on some of the comments above the brs. and srs. raise good questions and points. many of us started ignorant and (we pray that we are not among the ignorant) for sure by the will of Allah it can change.

     require knowledge to know and understand fisabilillah and not to find fault. i know my comment will not be effective enough but i hope you can open your heart and trash the hatred for the sake of Allah. i agree with M – u just dont understand. may Allah cause you and us to understand and be on the right path .amin

     Dear brothers and sisters: when we see people like “american muslim” oh I mean Rand Muzlim…… Subhan Allah, Quran is nuthing but the Truth. To whom Allah misgudes no one can guide.
     Allah has already told us about such people.
     2-6. Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.

     7. Allâh has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allâh’s Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment.

     8. And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: “We believe in Allâh and the Last Day” while in fact they believe not.

     9. They (think to) deceive Allâh and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not!

     10. In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allâh has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies.

     11. And when it is said to them: “Make not mischief on the earth,” they say: “We are only peacemakers.”

     MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS HERE- I LOVE YOU ALL FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH-
     MY SHEIKH YOU ARE THE MORE DEARER TO ME THAN MY FATHER/Mother AND MY CHILDREN. YOU ARE A SUNSHINE ON US. IT IS BECUASE OF YOUR TRACHINGs OF Quran that we understand it THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I WISH TO BE WITH YOU IN JANNAH. MAY ALLAH CURSE THE ONES WHO TRY TO SAY BAD ABOUT YOU, MAY THOSE WHO TRY TO STAND WITH KUFFAR BURN IN HELL FOREVER THEN WE MIGHT LOOK IN JANHANUUN AND ASK THEM WHERE ARE THE PEACE KEEPERS? WHERE IS THEIR UNO-USA-NATO-EU-AND PUPPET REGIMES THEY USED TO WORSHIP? MAY ALLAH HUMILIATE THEM IN DUNIYA AND AAKHIRA.
     WE love for the sake of Allah and these Rands love for the sake of Shaitan. We will keep on loving you sheikh though it burns the hearts of muanfiqeen and kuffar FOREVER.
     One last thing, Rands and Munafiqeen need not make this place dirty as it is a sacred forum where we study Quran and Hadith and show our love to our brothers and sisters.
     may Allah protect our sheikh from the evil eyes and wordings of Muanfiqeen.

     Allahuma Afrigh Alaina Sabrun wa sabbit ikdamina wansurna ala qomil kafreen.(amin)

     First, I seek refuge in Allah from the cursed Shaytaan the outcast devil.
     .
     “O you who believe! Whoever of you becomes a rebel against his deen, (know that in his place) Allah will bring a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble towards the believers, harsh towards the disbelievers, striving in the way of Allah, and not fearing the blame of any blamer. That is the favor of Allah; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.”

     To the “American (RAND) Muslim”:
     Your unjust views are expected from you, who just want to be known as the “American Muslim”. Do you know that Muslims are neither ignorant (Secular Americans) nor Nationalist Sufis? But know that we Muslims are supporters for Allah. We have believed in Allah and testify that we are Muslims submitting to Allah alone without partners. By the Will of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, the true followers of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him knows and understands this statement!
     .
     Your unintelligent allegations against Imam Anwar without proof are deplorable to say the very least. Provide your proofs and evidences if you should be truthful. Or else you will be written as a liar and you can end up in the Fire of Hell for eternity.

     “[Remember] when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was disease said, ‘Their religion has deluded those [Muslims].’ But whoever relies upon Allah – then indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.”

     Obviously you (American Mozlem) are sick, like you pointed it out yourself.
     I want to know from, the “American Muslim”, how can you love and not hate those whom Allah Azza wa Jall has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of taghut? How can you love and not hate the apes and pigs of the Illegal State of Israel, the American and British Terrorists who are blaspheming, killing without right, driving people out of their homes and aiding in our expulsion? How can you love and not hate, those that kill and torture Muslims and they resented them not except because they believed in Allah Azza Wa Jall? How can you love and not hate those that disbelieve in Islam, and continue their slander and hatred towards Our Prophet, Peace be upon him? How can you love and not hate those that desecrate the Qur’an openly against Muslims and flush them down the drain? How can you love and not hate those that do not want to live by the noble Shariah of Islam through Jihad feesabililah.
     .
     Oh I know why! Is it because you are an “American Muslim”, and not just a Muslim? It is the United States of America that love and not hate those whom Allah Azza wa Jall has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of taghut. That is why they are spending your tax dollars to fund their oppressions and injustices. It is the United States of America that love and not hate the apes and pigs of the Illegal State of Israel, and the American and British Terrorists who are blaspheming, killing without right, driving people out of their homes and aiding in our expulsion. It is the US and its allies that love and not hate, those that kill and torture Muslims and they resented them not except because they believed in Allah Azza Wa Jall. It is US and its allies that love and not hate those that disbelieve in Islam, and continue their slander and hatred towards our Noble Prophet, Peace be upon him. It is the US that love and not hate those that desecrate the Qur’an openly against Muslims and flush them down the drain. It is them that love and not hate those that do not want to live by the noble Shariah of Islam through Jihad feesabililah.
     .
     O my brothers and sisters in Islam, May Allah keep you firm on the Straight Path, in this current age, we find the RAND Mozlemz in a pit of darkness. They have adopted the ways of the enemy. They forbid the good and enjoin the forbidden. They imitate the disbelievers and choose them as their friends and trustees. They love the kuffar as they should love the believers. They mock the believers who oppose the ways of the disbelievers and hypocrites. They help to deviate people from the Path of Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alaiyhi wa sallam). They have left Jihad feesabililah for the pleasures and pursuits of the material world. They have abandoned Shariah and adopted Jahiliyyah. These people have strayed from the Straight Path and they have turned away from al wala wal bara, and as a result, have fallen into the trap of Shaytaan. O Allah, we disassociate ourselves from these Fasiqeen and whatever they invent.
     .
     For verily Allah Azza Wa Jall Says:
     .
     “There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Ibrahim and those with him, when they said to their people, ‘Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone’”

     American muslim,
     I suppose your claim to have read the Prophet’s seerah is nothing but ridiculous and spurios;if you mentioned Ghandi’s seerah perhaps i’d believe you.
     You are simply jaahil and devoid of emotions and sentiments for Islam.
     Brother Al-Khurasani’s response is sufficient,nothwithstanding the above-stated observation of mine.

     subhanAllah what a misguided person you are, how can you utter such words to Imam Anwar with out any proof. I suggest you study the seerah of our beloved nabi (saw) then came back on this blog and inform us of what you’ve learned……
     jahid is the why of Allah and will be till end of time to rid the mushrakeen and munafaqeen (the likes of YOU)

     My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, does anyone know if the shaikh is okay as he hasn’t posted for a long time now?

     The second issue is that we waste time and effort on people like American Muslim.

     We all know the truth and the people who are sincere know the truth. I know from my own experiences of dealing with these type of people that their is no benefit they are misguided and they have the wrong aqeedah. Let us keep focused and not get side tracked with those who seek to sow dischord and disunity amongst the Muslims. “soon they will come to know, soon they will come to know.”

     @all some excellent posts may Allah keeps us all on the right path and not become distracted inshallah.

     @ Jihadfeesabililah please keep the news flowing as we love to hear about the successes of our brothers in Jihad as the kuffar media do not report it.

     Barking dogs:- Clinton vows to pursue the peace process, but rules out speaking with Hamas the democratically elected government.

     @all as everyone is keen to pursue Hijrah then we must speak with the shaikh about how to proceed with this matter. I have said that if you are known to the Shaikh then send your CV through admin and inshallah I will pass your CV’s on to others where I am inshallah.

     Jobs where I am are as follows:- Teachers, nurses, engineers, IT and Comms specialists, doctors. If you have any experience and you are serious then fwd to admin and make istikharah.

     For there is only one praised in the heavens in the earth and the one worthy of all praise is al Ahad, As sammad, Allah the glorious and majestic.

     A question:- If shaitan can take the form of a human can he also use a computer. The reason is that sometimes on different forums I feel like I am arguing with shaitan an actual shaitan. Is this possible?

     I have a question to everyone, as most muslim countries and workplaces are not concerned with mixing of men and women, use riba, etc shouldnt we try and find an alternative way of earning our risk from Allah. Or have i just had a really bad experience?

     @American Muslims, first of all you you claim to be “true” Muslim but you don’t even have the manners, and don’t know how to address another Muslim brother at the time of “ikhtilaf” (differences of opinion in religion).
     .
     Secondly, you have clearly shown your hatred towards the Imam by saying “you disgust me”, where is your “wala and bara” by “true” brother?
     .
     Thirdly, you are too much comfortable with your American life and do not want to sacrifice any of it for the sake of your Creator! And for that you are trying to find an excuse. Remember my brother, cowardice or staying back from Jihad won’t lengthen your life! If Allah wills you might drop dead tonight!
     .
     Fourthly, you are similar to the so called scholars of Islam, the misguided “sufis”. You seem to read many works of shuyukh but those readings are not benefiting you! May Allah guide you my brother!
     .
     To Imam, yaa sheikh, please ignore this ignorant brother. You have your support and Allah is your witness that you are doing all these for the sake of Islam. And we will be your witnesses for that. Please keep us in your duas ya sheikh.

     @Abdullah: You are right that there is a high level of mixing within the society and much of it is a fitnah. However where I am there are Women only hospital departments, the schools are not mixed. There are if we believe it Islamic banks who do not indulge in Riba and Allah knows best about it……At the other end of the scales there are huge shopping malls like in the West, riba based banks and many jobs that are mixed. INvariably Hijah is not without its tests and nothing is perfect except Allah. May Allah guides to do what is the best inshallah.

     occassional comment from pple like ‘americanmuslim’ shouldn’t come as a surprise. americanmuslim it’s obvious that hatred is what comes out of your mouth, but that which is in your heart……. Allah alone knows best” and Allah says
     “You (O Muhammad salallahu ‘alayhi wasalam) will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger Muhammad salallahu ‘alayhi wasalam even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred (people). He has written faith in their hearts, ……
     Verily, it is the party of Allah that would be successful.(58:22)
     O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies (ie disbelievers and polytheists)as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you…..you show friendship to them in secret……And whoever of you (muslims) does that, then indeed he has gone (far) astray from the straight path.(60:1)

     your “I am sick of Muslims like you, absolutely sick.” “A PETTY HATEMONGER LIKE YOU. YOU DISGUST ME.”! only shows that you HAVE to “read the sunnah” again because you obviously haven’t.

     “Reviling a Muslim is disobedience to Allah, and fighting with him is kufr(infidelity). (agreed upon)
     “He who causes harm to a Muslim will be harmed by Allah, and he who acts in a hostile manner against a muslim, will be treated in a hostile manner by Allah.”

     You lack good ihlaq and Allah’s Messenger salallahu ‘alayhi wasalam said” The heaviest thing which will be put on the believer’s scale(on the Day of Ressurection) will be good character.”
     and “When Allah wishes good for anyone, He gives him the understanding of the religion.”

     You consider yourself an “American Muslim” and I consider myself a “Muslim American”. The difference may seem small, but it is not!

     For me, being “Muslim” [i.e. my Islam]comes first before anything else…
     and for you, being “American” comes first, before anything else…seemingly, even before your Islam judging by your posts.

     Usually, the thing one takes pride in the most comes first. We have:
     -African Americans
     -Chinese Americans
     -Spanish Americans
     -Irish Americans
     -Italian Americans, etc., etc., etc.
     -we EVEN have Native Americans (not American Natives)…yet you refer to yourself as “American Muslim”…and the question you should “honestly” ask yourself is: WHY IS THAT?

     @ American Muslim:

     Nothing new. This man looks like the sufi crap that is being patronised by the war criminals. They try to promote so called “peaceful” Islam to please the Kuffar. His reference to Ghazali and Nawawi proves that. Nauzubillah , they prioritize the teachings of Ghazali/Nawawi over Seerah of Prophet SAS for their own vested interests. They forget about the life of Prophet SAS wherein He SAS fought 29 major battles against Kuffar. There is Nawawi Foundation and Zaytuna Institute that is poisoning the minds of youth in America to spread sufi beliefs. These sufis have aligned with war criminals from as far as Russia to America. It should be remembered that one of that criminal- Hamza Yusuf was in Pharoah’s den in Whitehouse and christened the so called War on terror as “Operation Enduring Freedom”. His hand too is drenched in blood of hundreds of thousands of innocents. The sufi playboy crackpot Ramzan Kadirov ( From Qadiri order of sufis)is Putin’s man in Chechnya and has let loose a reign of terror against the innocents. The same can be said about the sufi hordes that are in payroll of invaders and mercenary Pakistani army in Afghanistan/Pakistan/India. They are promoting rap music in the name of American culture to brainwash Afro American Brothers. This is akin to the pop culture that the American system has deliberately promoted to keep them backwards.

406. TORTURE IN SAUDI PRISONS EXCLUSIVE REPORT (From 1999) pt.1 says:
     January 14, 2009 - الأربعاء 18 محرم 1430 at 5:30 pm

     TORTURE IN SAUDI PRISONS EXCLUSIVE REPORT (From 1999)

     by

     Azzam Publication

     We would like to say that what you are about to read is not a fabricated or second-hand account. This account was taken DIRECTLY from the mouth of the brother who underwent this torture. Defenders of the Saudi regime will nonetheless try to say that this is a made-up story or that it is lies. In this case: AZZAM PUBLICATIONS PUBLICLY CHALLENGES SUCH PEOPLE, UNDER THE WITNESS OF ALLAH (SWT) TO SWEAR TO ALLAH THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FABRICATED ACCOUNT, THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN A SAUDI PRISON AND THAT THE FOUR NAMED PRISON OFFICERS DO NOT WORK FOR THE SAUDI INTELLIGENCE SERVICES, INVOKING THE ETERNAL CURSE OF ALLAH (SWT) UPON THEMSELVES IF THIS ACCOUNT IS TRUE.

     After Azzam Publications sent out its last bulletin: ‘820 Mujahideen imprisoned in Saudi Arabia’, some Muslim defenders of the Saudi regime argued its authenticity. We say that, IF, AFTER READING THIS ACCOUNT, ANY MUSLIM STILL HAS DOUBT IN HIS HEART AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE SAUDI GOVERNMENT IS AN AMERICAN BACKED GOVERNMENT AND AN ENEMY TO MUSLIMS ALL OVER THE WORLD, THEN THEY MUST SIT DOWN AND CHECK THEIR IMAN BECAUSE MAYBE THEN THERE IS SOME DEFICIENCY IN THEIR IMAN AND THEIR CLAIM IN BEING A MUSLIM.

     THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF TORTURE THAT IS STILL BEING CARRIED OUT IN THE PRISONS OF A COUNTRY THAT CLAIMS TO BE AN ISLAMIC SALAFI GOVERNMENT WHOSE LEADER IS DUBBED AS THE AMEER-UL-MUMINEEN (CHIEF OF THE BELIEVERS).

     EYE-WITNESS ACCOUNT OF TORTURE IN SAUDI PRISON. YOU MAY FIND SOME PARTS DISTURBING, BUT WE HAVE INCLUDED EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT IS THE TRUTH AND ALLAH IS WITNESS TO THAT.

     In the Name of ALLAH, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind

     I don’t know what to say in the beginning and how to start the story, but I find myself forced to speak the truth and to let the world know about the biggest hypocrite regime on the face of the Earth. Words are not sufficient for me to describe what happened.

     I returned from the Jihad in Afghanistan, where I had gone to help the oppressed Muslims and fulfil my duty to Allah (SWT). One night I was sleeping with my family at my home in Al-Khobar, in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. My family heard a loud knocking on the front door which frightened them. My brother went to open the door, and as soon as he tried to open the door, the visitors forced their way into the house and put him up against the wall. They also got my other family members up against the wall. They forcefully woke me up from my sleep, dragged me by my clothes and put me against the wall as well. They started to swear at me:

     You son of an adulteress! You dog! Where are the weapons in your house ?”

     I told them that I did not have any weapons in my house. Then they started to beat me, in front of my family. They began searching my house and went through my things. Then they handcuffed me and took me in a car to the headquarters of the intelligence services.

     [/color]

     [color="#000000"]When we reached the headquarters, they forced me out of the car and took me to one of the rooms. In that room, they removed all of my clothes and started to laugh whilst commenting on my ‘awrah (private parts). When I asked them why they were doing that, they said that it was part of the search procedures. They gave me back my clothes, took me to another room and told me to wait there The room was very cold and I waited for eleven hours before anyone came. I had gone to sleep in a chair, and was woken up by a slap across my face. Then someone said to me:

     “How dare you sleep, you dog!”

     Then he started to swear at me, calling me a homosexual, a fornicator with my mother and a fornicator with my sister. I said to him:

     “Don’t say that. It is not Islamically permissible.”

     He gestured to two guards to hit me. They hit me a number of times. Then he said:

     “Don’t teach us our Deen. We know it better than you. ”

     Then three officers entered. Their names are as follows: Ahmad Muhammad Al-Ba’aadee, Nida Al-Oteibi, Samir Rashid Al-Qahtani

     They had all been educated in the USA. They sat down and, when they saw me, they said:

     “His face does not suit interrogation, as there is not enough blood on it.”

     Then a large soldier came and slapped me across my face a number of times until blood appeared. After that they asked me:

     “Where did you learn to be a mujahid ?” I told them, “From the Book of ALLAH and the Sunnah of the Messenger of ALLAH (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him).” Then they said:

     “Liar! Liar! The Book and the Sunnah did not tell you to disobey the walee amr ( ruler of the Muslims) and to fight the Islamic State.” I told them that I had not fought the Islamic State. They said:

     “You don’t speak, only we speak!” Then they asked me hundreds of questions over nine hours. During the questioning, the subject of Sheikh ‘Abdullah Azzam- the shaheed (martyr) scholar of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, came up. I told them that the Saudi government portrayed a good image of him in the media. Then one of the officers, Ahmad Muhammad Al-Ba’aadee said:

     “We know the truth about ‘Abdullah Azzam. He called all the young beardless boys to Afghanistan in order to carry out homosexual acts with them under the guise of Jihad.”

     Eventually I asked them:

     “Why am I here ? I want to know!” I wished I hadn’t asked. They said:

     “It seems as if you didn’t have a good tarbiyyah (upbringing).” They then
     ordered the guards: “Teach him some manners! ” And the guards beat me until
     the officers said: “Enough!” I was then taken and thrown in the cells.

     The next day they returned and asked me:

     “Why did you go for Jihad ?” I told them that I went for Jihad to help the
     Muslims and gain victory over the kafirs (disbelievers). They said:

     “Liar! You want to overthrow the Saudi regime.” I said that that wasn’t true.

     Then they questioned me for six hours. They asked me where I had hidden the
     weapons and the explosives. I told them that I did not have any of these
     things. They asked me more questions and I told them that I didn’t know.
     They ordered the guards to take me to a room and make me stand until further notice. I thought I would be made to stand only for one day, being provided with food. In actual fact, they made me stand for eight days giving me only water but neither food nor a moment’s sleep.

     When I used to make salah (prayer), I used to make long prostrations in
     order to rest. One of the officers used to come and kick me, lifting my neck
     with his foot. He would say: “Don’t make long prostrations! Get up!” and he
     would swear at me. He used to do this whilst I was in salah!

     After the eighth day I felt I was near to my death, since I had had neither
     food nor sleep for eight days. Then one of the officers came and called me.
     They gave me food and drink and said:

     “Now that we have saved you from death, you will speak and tell us where the
     weapons and the explosives are. ” I told them that I did not know because I
     did not have anything. They said: “It seems that you have still not learnt
     any manners.”

     They took me to a room, sat me on a chair and attached electrodes to my
     hands and legs. The officer turned the switch on to 30V. He asked me where
     the weapons and the explosives were. I said to myself that I would not reply
     except with ‘La ilaha ill ALLAH’. He started to increase the voltage to 60V,
     90V then 120V. When he reached 150V, I fell unconscious. I awoke after one
     day. They took me to the same room, and poured cold water over me in
     preparation of more electric shocks. At that point I said: “OK! I’ll tell
     you where the weapons and the explosives are. ” They asked me where, to which I replied: “I left them in Afghanistan.” They then started to beat me and swear at me again.

     So many excellent comments. I wish I could meet some of you (from amongst the sisters). Those of the sisters with no mahram at all, I recommend starting your hijra in the Gulf states because of the safety and ease of getting jobs and visas. It is a good place to start and even though it is not perfect, it is so much better than staying behind in a full kafir country. At least I dont get spat on in the streets anymore.

408. TORTURE IN SAUDI PRISONS EXCLUSIVE REPORT (From 1999) pt.2 says:
     January 14, 2009 - الأربعاء 18 محرم 1430 at 5:35 pm

     For two days I was not given any food. Then one of the officers asked me whether I wanted to eat. I replied in the affirmative. He asked me which
     restaurant would I prefer to eat from. I replied: “Masha-ALLAH, you have five star service here!” He said: “In fact, you’ll see that we have ten star service here. ” Then he began to laugh and I wondered why he laughed. He took me to a room and asked me what I wanted to eat. I thought he was serious.

     I said: “A cheeseburger from ‘Hardees’.
     He said: “What else ?”
     I said: “French Fries.”
     He asked: “And what else?”
     I said: “A Pepsi.”
     He asked me if I wanted anything else, and I replied that that was
     sufficient. Then he said:
     “What do you think if we also get you an Apple Pie ?”
     I said: “Yes, yes, bring that too!” He told me to wait there and he left the room. After a while, he returned with four well-built men. He pointed to the men and said:
     “This is ‘Cheeseburger’, ‘French Fries’, ‘Pepsi’ and ‘Apple Pie’. They will serve you your meal insha’ALLAH.”

     I was sat in a chair, with my hands laid out flat on a table. The man he
     named ‘Cheeseburger’ came and with a long cane, he struck the backs of both
     of my hands until they became blue. The officer asked whether I had eaten my fill with the ‘Cheeseburger’. I wanted to say yes, but I was in so much pain that I couldn’t reply.

     Next came ‘French Fries’. He brought with him three canes and said: “These
     must be broken today!” He started to beat me across my back. By the Mercy of ALLAH, all three canes broke very soon. I don’t know how many times he had struck me, since after the third strike, I stopped feeling any pain.

     Then came ‘Pepsi’ and ‘Apple Pie’. They laid me on my back on a table, and brought something known as a ‘falakah’. This is like a short, thick, wooden log with a short rope stretching from one end to another. They inserted my feet through the rope, and rotated the log against my shins, winding the rope and tightening my feet together. Each person held an end of the log and
     raised it, so that my feet were up in the air. Then a third person came and
     with a long, thin cane, beat the soles of my feet until they were covered in blood (as a result I wasn’t able to stand for about six days, since the soles of my feet had become torn). I pleaded with them to stop but they did not listen and continued to beat me. After four hours of torture, they stopped and left the room.

     The officer returned and asked me if I wanted any other food. I said: “No I
     am full.” He asked if I would like some cake as a dessert after my meal. I was extremely angry and replied:

     “Get lost you kafir! You dog! You dajjal! You American agent! You Israeli agent! You Cross worshipper. ” He clapped his hands twice and three men entered with three glass tanks. In each tank there was a snake. He teased me:

     “Shall we release these, leave you and go? Shall we? I’m a kafir am I? I’m a dog am I ? We will release these and also bring some scorpions.” One of the snakes was as thick as my arm and one was a cobra. “They will entertain you! ” he said and he gave the order for the glass cases to be opened. I became very frightened and I called him. I started to cry and said:

     “I’ll tell you everything, and I won’t hide anything from you. Just take these snakes away.” The officer became very happy. He stroked my beard and my head, saying “Masha’ALLAH. You are a good boy now. You have become well-mannered.” He started to wipe my tears, saying: “Don’t cry little boy.
     I’m like your father.” I marvelled at ALLAH’s patience with this man. They
     unshackled me and I told them I couldn’t walk. The officer said: “Don’t
     worry. We are at your service.” and he ordered the others to carry me to the interrogation room.

     By now I was psychologically destroyed. I gave them information about the brothers, but I didn’t tell them everything. And ALLAH knows that I didn’t tell them anything, until after I had reached a state of psychological destruction. For the one who is reading this account of mine is not like the one who has been through it. I ask ALLAH to excuse me on the Day of Judgement.

     I was then taken to the prison’s clinic where they treated an injury to my eye, my back, my feet and my heart which had been affected by the electric shocks. I stayed in the clinic for six days and I didn’t receive any physical torture after that- only mental torture. For instance, they would play loud music in my presence and swear at me with the worst swear words imaginable. Then they took me to a normal cell to join three other Mujahideen brothers.

     After meeting with my brothers in the cell, I knew that what had happened to
     me was light compared to what they had been put through. One of them was
     locked in a corpse freezer and left for two days. He knocked and knocked and pleaded with them to let him out. By the time they had taken him out, he had become psychologically destroyed and he even confessed to things he had not
     done. During this period he also acquired a continuous chest infection.

     Another brother was placed in a hot room and fed some very salty food. For three days he was not given any water to drink. Then they came and asked him if he wanted any water. He was so thirsty and his mouth was so dry that he could not even speak, and he merely gestured that he needed water. They brought him the best mineral water and allowed him to drink to his heart’s content. When he wanted to go to the toilet to relieve himself, they tied his hands behind his back, removed his lower garment and sealed his private part with black tape. Then they laughed and said: “Go on, urinate!”

     After a number of hours he cried and screamed and said: “Bring a blank sheet of paper and I will sign it. And you can write a confession to every crime above my signature. I killed Sadat (President of Egypt), I killed King Faisal (Saudi Arabia), I killed John F. Kennedy (US President).” It was as if he had become mad. Then he started to give them information regarding every possible thing. Even things they did not ask him about. Then finally,
     they allowed him to urinate.

     Once one of the brothers returned from a torture session with a big smile on is face. Upon being asked the reason of his smile, he joyfully told us that he was happy because he had now seen open proof of the Saudi regime’s collaboration with the US government. He said that during his interrogation, he had also been questioned by American officers whose identity cards read: ‘FBI Saudi Arabia Branch.’ Afterwards I was to find out that the FBI even has an office in Al-Khobar.

     I stayed in the prison for a further two months and ten days. One morning, one of the officers – ‘Abdul Ghani Ash-Shareef’ – came to the cell and called one of the brothers, addressing him as “You son of an adulteress! You fornicator with your mother!” The brother cautioned him to fear ALLAH. The officer replied:

     “Are you trying to teach me about my Lord ? I know my Lord better than you! Cursed be your Lord! Cursed be your Deen!”

     Once I said to this same officer: “Why do you torture me, when we are both from the tribe of Quraysh?” He replied: “Yes, but you are from the lineage of Muhammad, and I am from the lineage of Abu Jahl.”

     Dear reader, you might not believe me if I told you that these were the most beautiful days of my life. We all used to pray during the night and fast everyday following the words of Ibn Taiymeeyah: “What can my enemies do to me ? My Paradise is in my breast; wherever I go, it is with me. My murder is shahadah (martyrdom). My imprisonment is solitude with ALLAH. And my exile is tourism.” Some of the brothers even wrote this famous statement on the cell walls with their own blood.

     And whilst in prison, we used to constantly repeat a slogan of which we were proud and felt we were acting by:

     “La ilaha ill ALLAH Muhammad Ar-Rasoolullah ! Upon it we live, and upon it we die. And in its path we make Jihad, and upon it we will meet ALLAH.”

     All the brothers in all the cells used to chant this together in one voice over and over again. The guards used to come and kick the doors, telling us to shut up. They would say: “May ALLAH either cut your tongues, or we will put our boots in your mouths.” But this would only increase the volume of our voices. And we would frequently utter cries of ALLAHU AKBAR (ALLAH is the Greatest), since we felt that this prison was a test from ALLAH to purify us from our sins and to strengthen our Iman (faith), just as had happened to Bilal bin Rabah, the family of Yasir, ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud, Khabbab bin ‘Arrat, Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari, and before all of them, the Messenger of ALLAH (Peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him).

     We used to feel that when this punishment was combined with Iman in ALLAH, it became a blessing from ALLAH and not a misfortune. The voices of the brothers were constantly engaged in the remembrance of ALLAH and recitation of Qur’an. We felt that these voices in the future would become war and weapons against the oppressors. Every time we saw a tyrant increasing the torture, we became more certain that their end was becoming nearer – because ALLAH gives respite, but does not disregard.

     Then after many intercessions, ALLAH favoured me to leave that prison and that country. And here I am writing this actuality to all the Muslims in the Islamic world, so that they know the reality of this apostate regime; that they know that it is a regime of lies, pretending to represent Islam,
     whereas Islam is innocent of it.

     And to let those know who defend this regime and describe it as ‘Salafi’
     (upon the example of the first three generations of Muslims), saying that it is established on the ‘Aqeedah of Tawheed (the creed of the Oneness of
     ALLAH) whilst its soldiers punish the Muslims for raising the word of Tawheed.

     How quick you are to takfeer and tanfeeq. Even I didn’t takfeer anyone, despite my anger at hate preachers like Awlaki. I am only criticizing your interpretation of Islam. You prove my point exactly that you are intolerant and hateful of anyone outside your circle, let alone other Sunni Muslims. This is what your teachers preach.

     You are right. I support Hamza Yusuf and Zaytuna Institute. You dismiss “sufi crap” but obviously you know nothing about it. Do you have a monopoly on true Islam? I don’t think so. How far removed you are from the classical Sunni Islamic tradition. I have read the narrow interpretations of the Salafis and they are flawed and I have rejected that madhhab.

     Again, you think I spead hate, but it is your Imams who are telling you to hate, not me. I believe Islam came to bring peace amongst all people. The Prophet SAW fought battles in defense and to protect the right to practice Islam. The modern Jihadis only fight so that they may sieze power. Even if they had power, they wouldn’t know what to do with it. Just look at the backwardness and atrocities of the Taliban. Do you want to live under the Taliban and be exposed to their bedouin cruelty?

     Even the devil can quote and twist the Quran and Sunnah. Awlaki’s use of proof texts shows that he, and his teachers, lack the understanding of agreed-upon scholars like Ghazali and Nawawi. Like the violent khawaarij rebels before him, Awlaki’s Quran does not go past his throat.

413. Muslim American Muslim says:
     January 14, 2009 - الأربعاء 18 محرم 1430 at 6:21 pm

     As-Salaamu Alaykum,

     Forgive me for my rudeness earlier. I get angry when I see people distorting Islam in this way.

     Imam Ghazali said in the Alchemy of Happiness, “Know that there is no intimacy with Allah greater than this: that you do good to the one who does evil to you.”

     As Allah said, “Repel evil with that is better”

     He also said, “Know that the sign of Tawheed in someone is that, if his enemies came and beat him, took his property, and cursed him, in spite of this he would not be angry. As the Prophet SAW said when he was bleeding in the battle of Uhud, “OH Allah! Forgive my people for they do not know!”

     This is the essential spiritual understanding missing from the Salafi movement. We don’t love Kufr or the deeds of Kufr, but we should still love for Kafirs what we would love for ourself. This is how Ghazali and Nawawi understood the famous hadeeth, “Love for your brother what you love for yourself.” Is that “sufi crap”?

     There are many examples from the Sunnah and Seerah which show the kindness and good will of Islam towards all people. The example of the Prophet SAW and his Sahaba flies in the face of the “hate everyone but your small circle” doctrine.

     We are not arguing that Islam forbids self-defense or just war. What we are arguing is that Awlaki’s treatise is a recipe for anyone to commit any act, even killing women and children and non-combatants, in the name of Jihad. He is on recorded giving that fatwa. It is a recipe for anarchy (Fitnah Al-Harj) and vigilantism. It is a justification for terrorism and indiscriminate killing. There is no difference between Awlaki and the criminal Osama bin Laden, since Awlaki is on record supporting al-Qaeda’s founder Abdullah Azzam.

     If you study the attributes of the khawaarij, you will find that the so-called “mujahideen” of today are just like them: violent, narrow-minded, and prone to takfeer Muslims and kill them. Al-Qaeda kills Muslims for many reasons: because they are liberal, or secular, or shia, or sufi, or simply not hardcore Salafi. Awlaki gives the same justifications as Al-Qaeda.

     Awlaki teaches you to hate the UN, but it is the UN who has done much good for the world. The UN is not perfect, to say the least, but it does support human rights, education, development, and peaceful normal relationships between countries. It is the UN who has prevented nuclear war for the last 60 years. We need to understand that the Prophet’s EXAMPLE as a statesman and a diplomat is very important for us today. We live in the age of diplomacy and normal relations between states. Awlaki and his teachers wish to reveive the “imperial” doctrine of Jihad, but this doctrine no longer fits our time. In fact, applying that doctrine is a disaster because obviously the political context has changed since the Middle Ages.

     My final advice to you, before I leave this thread, is to scrutinize what scholars say in the name of Allah just as you would scrutinize the West. In fact, we should hold scholars to a higher standard since they speak for Allah. Don’t take what they say at face value just because they throw proof texts at you. Use your mind and rationality.

     i really recommend that you read more about the seerah or the prophet saw and actually about the history of islam from trusted muslim scholars not scholars that feel ashamed to mention jihad. i really think you have been mislead by many of the shuyukh where you live and ofcource they cant say anything about jihad that is offensive and defensive because they are targetted by the snakes in the white house. just please read up more.

     @American Muslim: When some concerned Americans are calling poor Taliban as hillbilly tribesmen, this so called American Muslim repeats the mantra of Pharoanic media about their backwardness and cruelty. Just like WMD, the war criminals used the Taliban as fasle pretext to invade Afghnaistan and be near next El Dorado- resource rich Central Asia. The same Talibs were welcomed in Pharoah’s Whitehouse as freedom fighters to dismantle Sovet Union. Remember the entire military budget running into trillions of dollars including the SDI, STAR wars of US, NATO was meant to thwart communism and red army. The poor tribesmen were patronised to fight the red army. The West saved trillions but the Afghans lost millions of innocents. The same Taliban were conveniently changed into terrorist overnight in the so called war on terror. Whatever they will insha’Allah crush the invaders soon. Millions of Afghans are fed up with the corrupt warlords thrust on them by the invaders and are eagerly waiting for the return of Taliban. And this American Muslim talks about Jihad to sieze power forgetting the history of Afghanistan to repel invaders from Alexander to Red Army. Please look at this portrait before writing about Taliban.

Otherwise, it should have been mandatory to sever relations with Russia from every angle, and if they had done that Russia would have halted at its limit, and they would not have harmed them at all. However, unfortunately the Muslim countries – and by that I mean the leaders of the Muslim countries, forget the general public, the general public may have fervor and enthusiasm however they do not have the capability – they are silent and have said nothing.

     Your arguments are not based on rationality and compassion. but on narrow fixed interpretations of proof texts. Know that a great majority of Muslims have rejected your narrow, narrow view of Jihad. This is simply an outlet for your anger and hatred against the West. It has nothing to do with purifying the heart, the real goal of Islam.

     You say nothing about Al-Qaeda and Taliban killing other Muslims. You have rationalized the takfeer and killing of other Muslims. So who is misguided now? I guess you don’t care about the Muslim on Muslim violence supported by your Imam. I guess you don’t care that al-Qaeda and the Taliban continues to kill Muslims, their own people, every single day.

     How am I twisting the teachings of Islam? Because I don’t support the random slaughter of innocent women and children? Because I support diplomacy instead of suicide bombings? Because I reject Awlaki’s dangerous political agenda?

     You have equated the religion of Islam with the political goals of the Salafis. By the way, the Salafi political agenda comes from COMMUNIST THINKERS. Sayyid Qutb took his ideas from Vladmir Lenin. Mawdudi took his ideas from facist Italy. That’s why they call themselves “Al-Qaeda” (the Base) because they liken themselves to Valdmir Lenin’s idea of a righteous
     vanguard.

     So excuse me if I reject the psuedo-communism and violence of facist, totalitarian demagouges like Osama Bin Laden and Anwar Awlaki.

     You hearts have been hardened by Salafi propoganda. You are unable to think for yourselves, thus you repeat what your Imams say even when he justifies killing women and children and Muslim believers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

     Your Imam is calling for nothing less than total global war against all non-Muslims and non-Salafi Muslims. Sounds like the Khawaarij to me.

     More on saudi torture:-

     Approx two years ago whilst in Mekkah and after completing the rights of Umrah I decided to head of for Medinah. Whilst In Medinah I decided to head of and buy some dates. By Allah what happened next was a miracle for me! I saw one Saudi brother walking past me and I wanted to know where the best dates could be bought. I stopped him and asked him and he replied that I have just arrived in Medinah from Riyadh and I don’t really know. He was about to walk off and as an afterthought he said, “Where do you come from” I told him and he then broke into English. What he told me next was a revelation and although he talked to me for nearly 20 minutes in the hot sun I didn’t want to leave. This is his story as I remember it:-

     I was a Muslim living a comfortable life in america not practing the deen and enjoying life. Then after the Gulf war he became an activist in America, sending faxes to the whitehouse, turning up for demonstrations and calling on people to stand up against the evil that america was carrying out.In the end it became too much for him and he left the states to return home to Saudi.

     When he arrived in Saudi after a long period of absence he was met by members of the internal security force or intelligence. They took him to one side and told him we know what you have been doing and we are watching you.

     The brother didn’t think much about what they were saying and over time he began to call people to do jihad for the sake of Allah. It was during this time that he said I began to notice things like in salaat someone would come up behind me while I was praying and push me in the back or they would stand next to me and shove me as I was praying. At first I didn’t understand what was happening then as these things became more annoying and frequent I began to realise that something was terribly wrong. The next level was that I noticed that rumours were being spread. First it was that I was a Jihadi. Then it was I was a Mubtadhi. Finally they told people I was a sodomite and that anyone who associated with me what be gauged as such. The next step was to isolate me from the Muslims. They did this by systematically contacting the people whom I had friendships with and warning them that their positions and careers were in jeopardy and if they continued to be seen with me or contact me they would find that they were not longer employable.

     When none of these tactics worked they turned to other means. One particular morning after I left the masjid at the time of shurook I noticed that the street was empty except for one car as I began walking towards the direction of the car. A giant of a man got out of the car and began to walk towards me. I was very scared and began reciting ayat al-kursi. He drew closer and closer and I kept on reciting until he went past me. I am sure that it was through reciting this that I was saved.

     Eventually they arrested me and took me in for questioning and during this time I was physically abused. (he never mentioned what they actually did to him).

     At one point I was taken to see the head of the intelligence – Naif. He questioned me and then I was taken back.

     Throughout my time I told them that Jihad is prescribed against the kuffar and I am not of those who want to create trouble for the Kingdom. They continually asked me to rethink my call. They promised me if you change what you are calling to we will tell the people that what was said before was lies and that really you are great Da’ee and you deserved to be listened to and followed in what you are calling to. I refused and the imprisonment continued. Eventually they released me and I carried on with the call to Jihad for the sake of Allah. Then one day an episode took place that changed things for me completely.I was driving with relatives in a vehicle in Riyadh when a car transporter or something similar drove up at the side of me. The next thing that happened shook me up, the HGV hit me full on the side. I knew that the driver had seen me and that he was trying to run me off the road. The vehicle I was in ( I think he said) hit the barrier and alhamdulilah no one was seriously injured. At the point I realised that they were willing to kill me and anyone with me to stop me from speaking out. A short time after I went to a government department building in Riyadh that deals with conflicts between the government and the people (I can’t remember what he called the office). I registered a complaint and at the same time I asked that it be noted that from this day on I would not be calling to what I had been either publicly or privately and that I wanted this affair to end.

     I have kept this story in my mind for over two years and you group of brothers and sisters are some of the first people to hear this.

     The brother asked me to tell people about the plight of those who are calling to jihad in KSA and he told me that he was one of a number of brothers who were suffering.

     I ask Allah to witness that I have conveyed his story to the best of my ability and memory. May those who hear it learn from it. Any mistakes are from me and any good is only from Allah.

     You said, “Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan military operations against the kafirs, munafiqs and the worshippers of Idols.”

     Those kafirs, munafiqs, and worshippers of idols are MUSLIMS WHO DISAGREE WITH YOUR POLITICS. FEAR ALLAH AND STOP JUSTIFYING THE MURDER OF YOUR MUSLIM BROTHERS WHO DISAGREE WITH YOU.

     Again, you’ve proven my point exactly. Anyone who opposes your political ideology is labeled a kafir, or munafiq, or mushrik.

     @Jihadfeesabililah as salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah wa barakatahu

     Your posts keep us all happy. Please keep them coming. I am sure the attack in the wee! hours was a startling surprise for the defenders.

     Okay on to other things. Ireland a beautiful place with great people make sure if you can visit the West of Ireland you do so and you will find a warm and generous people. Whilst in the North we find the remenants of abandoned military posts, Check points and heavily fortified camps. Why? Here is the real reason. The powers that “be” knew that in the future there would be major conflicts in built up areas. The problem was how to keep an armies skills up to the mark. What a better way than to have your own purpose built internal civil war. The ingredients:- Take two opposing camps add a little hatred, insert some weapons and pay some people and simmer for about 60 years and hey presto there you have it.

     Ireland was the armies own little training ground for future urban conflicts. Hold on a minute said Russia we need our own internal training ground to keep our skills up to date and test our latest weapons. Along came chechenya! I know you are thinking that this is hard to believe, but it isn’t and here is why.

     The British army had the names and addresses of all members of the IRA from the secret council members living in the south to the dickers (those who pass information to the IRA about patrols and rountines). The British government could at one fail swoop have picked up all the major and minor players and ended the conflict, but they didn’t they wanted to keep it going so the troops were urban battle ready. The FBI had information which could have stemmed the flow of cash from the states but chose to dealy stemming that flow until told to.

     I remember one song that has always stuck in my mind it is called “onward christian soldiers” you can google it then reflect on why children would be taught this song-Hmm! interesting.

     Another little known fact, Jewish youth from all over the world from the age of 15/16 can travel to israel to undertake training with the IDF.

     Yet when I posed the same question to the intelligence service as to why can’t Muslims train in their own lands. The answer was “the powers that be wouldn’t like it”.

     @Jihadfeesabililah, A quick analysis on 30000 troops to be sent to Afghanistan. According to sources ( an intel euphemism for we’re not telling you) it seems that the new influx may well be used to carry out hunter killer operations against those who plant mines and iED’s as well as cross border operations to seek out Mujahideen Rear echelon positions. Other sources talk of the recent drone attacks been facilitated by humint on the ground.

     انصح بقراءة الموضوع كامل لان كلمات هذا الشخص (ادولف ايخمان صراحة تهز الجبال)

     اولا من هو ادولف

     كان ادولف ايخمان لمسؤول المباشر على عمليات تصفية اليهود ( الهولوكوست ) بامر مباشر من هتلر

     وكان ايضا خبيراً في الشئون الصهيونية قبل أن يصبح رئيساً لقسم (( اليهود )) في جهاز أمن المانيا النازية والرئيس الأول عن معسكر أوشفيتز أكبر معسكر لأعتقال اليهود
     آيخمان كان له دور في تهريب بعض الاف من اليهود عن محارق النازية
     وحين تشكلت محاكمة نورمبرج لمحاكمة مجرمي الحرب من الألمان فر آيخمان من براثنها بمساعدة المليونير اليهودي ( كاستنر ) ,

     وفي عملية تعتبر من أبرع عمليات الموساد تم أحضار آيخمان من الأرجنتين التي كان قد أستقر فيها وغير معالمه وشخصيته وتكمن براعة العملية بأن الأرجنتين لم تعلم بها حتى أعلنت ( إسرائيل ) أن آيخمان تم القبض عليه .

     بدأت محاكمة آيخمان وتعذر هو بأنه كان ينفذ أوامر هتلر وبأنه ساعد اليهود وهربهم ووقف بجانبه ( كاستنر ) اليهودي , لكن طلبه رفض وأيقن أنه سيلاقي مصيره فقرر قراراً أستغربه اليهود
     طلب من اليهود أن يعتنق اليهودية وأن يسجل في الاوراق الرسمية كيهودي !!!!

     ولما سأله اليهود عن السبب الذي دفعه لأعتناق اليهودية أجابهم بأنه سيصرح بالسبب أمام وسائل الأعلام ووكالات الانباء ففرح اليهود وجمعوا له وكالات الأنباء
     وأنتصب آيخمان في وقفة عسكرية وأدا التحية النازية (رفع اليد إلى الأمام) وقال أمام عدسات الكميرات :

     ” أردت أعتناق اليهودية ليس حباً فيها ,, ولا حباً في إسرائيل ,, إنما أد ر ت بذلك أن أهتف لنفسي أن كلباً يهودياً قد أعدم ليدرك من سبقوه من الكلاب ,,, وأنه لكم يسعدني قبل أن أموت ,, أن أوجه رسالة أعتذار إلى الإسرائييلين ,, تحمل كل ندمي وحرقتي .. وأنا أقول لهم أن أشد مايحز في نفسي أنني ساعدتكم على النجاة من أفران هتلر ,, لقد كنت أكثر إنسانية معكم ,, بينما كنت أكثر خبثاً وقذارة أيها الكلاب ,, إن أرض فلسطين ليست إرثكم و لا أرضكم ,, فما أنتم إلا عصابة من الإرهابيين والقتلة ومصاصي دماء الشعوب ,, ماكان لكم إلا الحرق في أفران هتلر لتنجو الأرض من خبثكم وفسقكم ويهنأ الكون بعيداً عن رذائلكم ,, فذات يوم سيأتيكم هتلر عربي يجتث وجودكم إجتثاثاً ,, ويحرق عقولكم وأبدانكم بأفران النفط .. أيها الكلاب … يؤلمني أن أشبهكم بالكلاب ,, فالكلاب تعرف الوفاء الذي لاتعرفونه .. لكن نجاسة الكلاب وحيوانيتها من ذات سلوككم ,,اهنأوا ماشئتم بإجرامكم في فلسطين ,, حتى تجيء اللحظة التي تولون فيها الأدبار .. وتعلو صراخاتكم تشق العنان .. فتذوقوا مذلة النهاية التي لا تتصوروا أنها بانتظاركم وعندها ستكون الكلاب الضالة أفضل مصيراً منكم ”

     بعد هذا الكلمة الصدمة غلى حقد اليهود فشنقوه ثم حرقوه في فرن صنع خصيصاً له ومن ثم طحنت عظامه ووضعت داخل علبة حديدية ورميت في البحر على طريقة موسى في البحر

     I hope this posting isn’t scarmbled, I couldn’t find the english translation, sorry, I just thought it was interesting.

     Even your sufi mosques are found empty 365 days a year, and the graves of the dead a thronging with the mushriks like you….
     Havent seen what the mujahideen have done to the tombs oF shirk in iraq,somalia,afghanistan,pakistan,chechnya…

     I would just like to let everyone know that the effort of Tabligh and Daawah to the muslims is also very important for the reformation of the society. Many people who led deviant lives repented and came back to the straight path by the effort of Tabligh. Someone told me that Imam Anwar also spent time in Tabligh. is that true?

     In Jerusalem, a female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the Wailing Wall and there he was!

     She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.

     “I’m Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?”

     “For about 60 years.”

     “60 years! That’s amazing! What do you pray for?”

     “I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship.”

     “How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?”

     “Like I’m talking to a wall.

     The Crying eyes of the ummah in the masjids and the crying eyes at home watching diluted scenes, knowing far worse is occuring, has not missed
     any soul of this noble ummah. Indeed they have responded as nabi (saw) ordered, “my ummah is like one body, when part of it hurts the entir body feels the pain”. Be they muslims of pakistan or iraq, be they white of bosnia or black of somalia. The Ummah has united in their pain over gaza.

     Just as Allah mentioned in surah burooj that through ziba azeem would the eyes awaken as given in the example of the boy in sura burooj.

     In the light of these verse sayid qutb (rh) mentioned “Our words remain dead till we sacrifice our life in their cause, so then they may live amongst the living”

     They did indeed planned to extinguish the flame of jihad from the mind of the muslim, but Allah to planned verily Allah is the best of planners.

     And only through jihad the ummah as realised wthe khilafah with the army of rasoolAllah (saw) will return to punish the prophet killing qawm.

     so understand the clear solution O ummah not just pain releaving solutions.

     Islamic scholars annouce the the complete destruction of the israeli entity and the silent apostate regimes,

     colluding with the israeli-american plan.

     Anwar, this is quite a group you’ve got here.

     M.A.Muslim, be careful around al-Awlaki and his scum. Al-Awlaki is a recruiter and propagandist on behalf of Arab Sunni terrorist aggression. Observe how often he talks about death, and how great it is be a dead “martyr”. I think al-Awlaki’s current employer is Abdul-Majid az-Zindani in Sana’a. Zindani is a longtime backer of al-Qa’ida and Hamas and, on the side, is a grossly heretical crank who claimed to find a cure for AIDS encoded in the qur’aan, and a lot of other such crap.
     People like Anwar al-Awlaki have turned the very word Islam into an object of worldwide contempt and revulsion. For Zindani, add the word “derision”.

     I ask you again, go to the book Adab al-Mufrad by Imam Bukhari. Go to the chapter “Love Between People, Tahabu Bayna an-Nas.” Hadith #261 says Abu Hurairah RAA said the Prophet SAW said, “By the one who holds my life in His Hand, you will not go to Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Spread peace, then you will love each other. Beware of hatred (bigdah) for verily it will cut, not like you cut hair, but it will cut you from your religion.” This hadith was also related by Imam Muslim, Abu Dawud, ibn Majah, and Malik in the Muwatta. Imam Bukhari’s chapter title proves he understood this injunction of the Prophet to be between people in general; that is, one should spread love, peace, and good relationships with people in general, even disbelievers. This hadeeth warns us about the evil of unrestricted hatred. This hadeeth is black and white, crystal clear.
     As Allah said, “O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah and be just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Well¬Acquainted with what you do.” (Surat al-Maidah 5:8)
     Go to Riyad us-Saliheen by Nawawi and read the chapter on the virtue of love for the sake of Allah.
     Go to Ihya Uloom ud-Deen by Ghazali and read about the evil of hasad,envy, hatred, and anger.
     Hating for the sake of Allah means to hate people’s actions/attributes (sifaat) while still loving good for their essence (dhaat). How else do you explain that the Prophet SAW prayed for his enemies while in the heat of the Battle of Uhud as Imam Ghazali narrates? “Oh Allah! Forgive my people because they do not know!.” (Riyad us Saliheen Hadeeth #36 Recorded by Bukhari and Muslim) He prayed for his enemies because he loved for their essence dhaat what he loved for himself “of goodness,” as Imam Ahmad narrates in the Musnad.
     Love Allah and love for your neighbor what you would love for yourself, even if he is kaafir. This has been the message of all the Prophets and Messengers since the beginning of time. Here is evident proof of this historical and religious fact:
     http://www.acommonword.com
     The hatred spewing forth from this thread proves my point exactly that many of you are blinded by your racist hatred of “the West.” That’s not the Islam I know or believe in.
     What does your Imam have to say? I see he is speechless. We are still waiting for you Mr. Awlaki. Why don’t you speak up against the daily Muslim on Muslim violence committed by the likes of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban? Or have you declared your Muslim enemies to be Kuffar which would make you Takfeeri Khawaarij? We are still waiting for your decisive refutation of loving good your neighbor in Islam. Tell us why Islam commands us to hate our Jewish and Christian neighbors.

     I am Palestinian but have not been back there in a very long time. I live in the suburbs of Chicago. I do not have any information about all these different groups. I try to stay away from any group other than the Ummah of Muhammed! Many of these palestinian groups are more nationalistic than religious which I do not agree with at all. No matter what though what has happened and is happening in Gaza is wrong. It amazes me that Muslims can get put in jail for talking about jihad (and never even doing it) but the jews can murder and kill women and children and be called heroes. This world is worse than a rotting pile of filth. When Allah mentions in the Quran that there was a time when mankind was not even worth mentioning I never understood it until now. We should all be ashamed of ourselves for letting it get to this point!

     It is amazing but it is very true that in the time of fitnah the hypocrites are distinguished from the true believers and you hypocrites know who you are remember hypocrites will be placed in the worst level of Hell hey if that’s where you “hypocrites” want to be then go for it .There is free will so make your choice either you are followers of Allah or followers of the Shaityan. Defn: Followers of Allah are those who live their lives by the true words of their Lord who love their Lord above any materialstic gain above their families and defnitely above themselves and based on this they live their lives pleasing their Lord in all aspects of their life. For Allah has created humans and jinn only to worship him..Now as for the followers of Shaityan: Wow so many of those around infesting and corrupting this earth with their hatred of their Lord who created them and to whom they will return. They fall under two categories the first is kufar and the second hypocrites.. Now these two groups mingle with each other and support one another well enjoy your party in hell..They follow their desires what ever pleases their desires,their animal behavior,their materialistic love and hunger for power. All such devotion will please their master the one and only Shaitan.They are so good spreading falsehood and playing the victim role as if they are the ones being oppressed where in true reality they are the true opressors…They call themselves “muslims” and customize the Deen to please their needs and meet their agenda…The funny thing is they think what they are doing is right and everyone else and our Lord is wrong what kufr what kufr…For those muslims who are asleep wake up..

     @Muslim American and others like him:

     Ahhh Yes…Imam Ghazali (Rahimahullah). It amazes me how some people quote Imam Ghazali in trying to justify their arguments against Jihad.

     Al—Ghazali, a Sufi orthodox Muslim, and follower of the Shafi’i school of Islamic jurisprudence, wrote this about jihad war and the treatment of the vanquished non—Muslim (dhimmi) peoples, in the Wadjiz [Al—Ghazali Kitab al—Wagiz fi fiqh madhab al—imam al—Safi'i, Beirut, 1979, pp. 186, 190—91; 199—200; 202—203. (English translation by Dr. Michael Schub.)]

     One must go on jihad (i.e., warlike razzias or raids) at least once a year…one may use a catapult against them [non—Muslims] when they are in a fortress, even if among them are women and children. One may set fire to them and/or drown them…If a person of the Ahl al—Kitab [People of The Book — primarily Jews and Christians] is enslaved, his marriage is [automatically] revoked…One may cut down their trees…One must destroy their useless books. Jihadists may take as booty whatever they decide…they may steal as much food as they need…

     The dhimmi is obliged not to mention Allah or His Apostle…Jews, Christians, and Majians must pay the jizya [poll tax on non—Muslims]…on offering up the jizya, the dhimmi must hang his head while the official takes hold of his beard and hits [the dhimmi] on the protruberant bone beneath his ear [i.e., the mandible]… They are not permitted to ostentatiously display their wine or church bells…their houses may not be higher than the Muslim’s, no matter how low that is. The dhimmi may not ride an elegant horse or mule; he may ride a donkey only if the saddle [—work] is of wood. He may not walk on the good part of the road. They [the dhimmis] have to wear [an identifying] patch [on their clothing], even women, and even in the [public] baths…[dhimmis] must hold their tongue.

     …..and let us not forget, with regards to Imam Nawawi (rahimahullah), that he has a whole book “chapter” dedicated to Jihad in his famous collection of ahadith “Riyadh As-saaliheen”.

     YES, but let us not forget that, as you yourself mentioned, the Prophet SAW said this while…”in the heat of the BATTLE” !!!… SubhanAllah!!! How can you use this as an argument against Jihad??? Also, please remember, there is a BIG difference between hating the bad actions of a person, and defending yourself against aggression…which is a basic right of every Muslim. There is a BIG difference between “hating” the action of a person who is drinking, gambling etc., and a person who is attacking and killing Muslims. In the latter case, it is not enough to just “hate” the action, but rather one has the right to retaliate and defend one’s self in like proportion.

Say: if your fathers, and your children, and your brethren, and your spouses, and your tribe, and the wealth you have acquired, and business for which you fear shrinkage, and houses you are pleased with are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His way: then wait till Allah brings His command to pass. Allah does not guide disobedient folk.” 9:23-24

     “So obey not the rejecters of faith, but strive (jahidhum) against them by it with a great endeavor.” 25:52

     The order for Jihad

     The Noble Qur’an 2:190-193
     190. And fight in the Way of Allâh those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allâh likes not the transgressors. [This Verse is the first one that was revealed in connection with Jihâd, but it was supplemented by another (V.9:36)].

     191. And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

     192. But if they cease, then Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

     193. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allâh) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allâh (Alone). But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zâlimûn (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)

     The Noble Qur’an 9:36
     That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight against the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) collectively, as they fight against you collectively.

     The Noble Qur’an 8:72-74
     72. Verily, those who believed, and emigrated and strove hard and fought with their property and their lives in the Cause of Allâh as well as those who gave (them) asylum and help, – these are (all) allies to one another. And as to those who believed but did not emigrate (to you O Muhammad SAW), you owe no duty of protection to them until they emigrate, but if they seek your help in religion, it is your duty to help them except against a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, and Allâh is the All-Seer of what you do.

     73. And those who disbelieve are allies to one another, (and) if you do not do so, there will be Fitnah and oppression on earth, and a great mischief and corruption .

     74. And those who believed, and emigrated and strove hard in the Cause of Allâh (Al-Jihâd), as well as those who gave (them) asylum and aid; – these are the believers in truth, for them is forgiveness and Rizqun Karîm (a generous provision i.e. Paradise).

     Hadith – Bukhari, Vol. 4, No. 41, Narrated ‘Abdullaah bin Mas’uud May Allah be pleased with him
     I asked Allah’s Messenger May Allah’s peace and praise be on him, “O Allah’s Messenger! What is the best deed?” He replied, “To offer the prayers at their early fixed stated times.” I asked, “What is next in goodness?” He replied, “To be good and dutiful to your parents.” I further asked, “What is next in goodness?” He replied, “To participate in Jihad in Allah’s Cause.” I did not ask Allah’s Messenger May Allah’s peace and praise be on him anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more.

     The Noble Qur’an 2:216
     Jihâd is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.

     Hadith – Al-Tirmidhi #3835,
     Narrated AbuHurayrah May Allah be pleased with him
     Allah’s Messenger May Allah’s peace and praise be on him said, “If anyone meets Allah with no mark of jihad, he will meet Allah with a flaw in him.” [Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it]

     The Noble Qur’an
     An-Nisaa’ 4:75, 76
     75. And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allâh, and for those weak, illtreated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help.”

     76. Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allâh, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Tâghût . So fight you against the friends of Shaitân; Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaitân.

     The Noble Qur’an An-Nisaa’ 4:104
     And don’t be weak in the pursuit of the enemy; if you are suffering (hardships) then surely, they (too) are suffering (hardships) as you are suffering, but you have a hope from Allâh (for the reward, i.e. Paradise) that for which they hope not, and Allâh is Ever AllKnowing, AllWise.

     @Just a Muslim
     You wrote concerning the Hadith mentioning the “spreading of peace”:

     “Abu Hurairah RAA said the Prophet SAW said, “By the one who holds my life in His Hand, you will not go to Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Spread peace, then you will love each other. Beware of hatred (bigdah) for verily it will cut, not like you cut hair, but it will cut you from your religion.” This hadith was also related by Imam Muslim, Abu Dawud, ibn Majah, and Malik in the Muwatta. Imam Bukhari’s chapter title proves he understood this injunction of the Prophet to be between people in general; that is, one should spread love, peace, and good relationships with people in general, even disbelievers. This hadeeth warns us about the evil of unrestricted hatred. This hadeeth is black and white, crystal clear.”

     I believe you have misquoted and/or misunderstood the hadith. It should be more along the lines of: “I swear by whom my soul is in his hand, you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love each other. Do you want me to guide you to something which if you practice, you will love each other? Spread greeting with peace among of you.” (Bukhari)

     All of the commentaries I have read,regarding this Hadith, undertand it to mean “spreading the Islamic greeting [as salamu alaikum] amongst yourselves [i.e. Muslims...as we should not initiate the greeting of peace with the non-muslim], I have never read any commentaries regarding this Hadith that understood it as you mentioned:

     “Imam Bukhari’s chapter title proves he understood this injunction of the Prophet to be between people in general; that is, one should spread love, peace, and good relationships with people in general, even disbelievers. ” ….as you have stated.

     You then add….”This hadeeth is black and white, crystal clear.”, but you seem to be missing the point of the hadith that is “crystal clear” and twisting it a bit.

     And Allah alone knows best.

     To my dear brothers and sisters in Islam, may Allah Azza Wa Jall keep you all firm on the path of Jihad feesabililah, we all know that the likes of Kufr Akbar, and the “American RAND just Mozlem American” are performing their RAND duties to divert our attention from the real issues and the Truth. These tactics of theirs has already been explained to us in the Qur’an and the Seerah. It was also explained to us in “The Battle of hearts and Minds” lecture by Imam Anwar. So leave them and that which they invent for a while and, insh’Allah, soon they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers.
     .

     “And We have certainly presented to the people in this Qur’an from every [kind of] example. But, [O Muhammad], if you should bring them a sign, the disbelievers will surely say, “You [believers] are but falsifiers.”

     Salam alaikoum,

     The people of ignorance and nifaq of today try to apply the ayats and hadith of love to the kuffar.You should never forget that there are ayats and hadith that apply to the muslims and ayats that apply to the kuffars.
     The real problem lies in not studying seerah and the story of the sahabah.By studying these stories you will really understand the quran and the context of the hadiths.
     The RAND muslims fit exactely the description of the khawarijs in a way:
     “The khawarijs applied the ayats of hatred and harsness to muslims,while the RAND muslims apply the ayats of love to the kuffars”.
     Both groups went to the extreme.And Islam is the middle way.
     One last advice :READ THE HISTORY OF ISLAM AND THE STORIES OF THE SAHABAS A LOT , NOT THE HISTORY OF SOME WALY.

     Wa salam

     “Ibn Adam”, you’re not missing much. UBL’s latest talk is just 22 more minutes of the same old incitement and propaganda. Nowadays UBL is just one more furtive, fugitive, snarling failure, like Zawahiri, reading the news and reacting on the internet. Impotent flamers, both of them.

     Dear Brothers and sisters Assalam-o-Alaikum wa Rehmat ullah:
     @Ibrahim, Lubna, faiza, Um umar, Abu Dharraar, abujee, Muhammad Hasan, Miuhammad from Nigeria, Spops, UmelJihad, saiful Battar and all those whom i could not mention their names but are alike I love you all,

     What a beautiful ayat from Quran describe the qualities of momineen and seaprate them from Munafiqeen.

     48-29. Muhammad(Sallalho Alaihey Wassallam) is the Messenger of Allâh, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allâh and (His) Good Pleasure
     5-54. O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islâm), Allâh will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allâh, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allâh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allâh is AllSufficient for His creatures’ needs, AllKnower.
     58-22. You (O Muhammad ) will not find any people who believe in Allâh and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad ), even though they were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Rûh (proofs, light and true guidance) from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens (Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allâh is pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allâh. Verily, it is the Party of Allâh that will be the successful.

     I would say, lets stop answering the agents of Kuffars and Munafiqeen on this scared forum of us. Lets share things which can benefit each other. No doubt when answering such people our own Iman increases but lets not forget the we have been told to say Salam to the Jahiloon.(means leave them alone, lakum dnukum waliyadin)

     I pray to Allah that he join us together in Jannah as Shuhada.(Amin)
     Lets be among those who are under the shade of the Throne of Allah Azza wa Jall because of their love to each other purely for the sake of Allah Subhan wa Tala.
     Amin
     Victory or Eternity

     “MY LORD BUILD FOR ME A HOME WITH YOU IN PARADISE AND SAVE ME FROM FIR’AWN AND HIS WORK Ibn Jarir said that Al Oasim bin Abi Bazzah said ” Fir’awns wife used to ask , “who prevailed When she was told , Musa and Harun prevailed she said “I believe in the Lord of Musa and Harun ” Fir’ awn sent his aids to her and said to them, find the biggest stone , if she insist on keeping her faith throw the stone on her, otherwise she is my wife. When they came to her she looked up to the sky and was able to see her house in Paradise . She persisted on the faith and her soul was then captured. The stone was thrown on her lifeless body ” MY LORD BUILD FOR ME A HOME WITH YOU IN PARADISE, AND SAVE ME FROM FIR’AWN AND HIS WORK AND SAVE ME FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WRONGDOERS’ ( deliver me from him because I am innocent of his actions) Allah Azza Wa Jall deliver our sisters and their families from all the Fir’awns on the earth and let us see the end of the evil doers how they perish as You Allah Azza min Qail has said.

     This interview was released on September 12, 2008 by Al-Yaqin Media Center. It was translated by the Kuffaar of NEFA Foundation; since it’s quite accurate, we’ll post it here with some minor corrections.

     The interview itself is fascinating as it gives insight into the world view of al-Qaa’idah and what could be coming up in the near future. Below the English translation is the original Arabic.

     In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Ever Compassionate

     Al-Yaqin Media Center Presents

     Al-Qaa’idah Speaks About the Upcoming Strikes

     Al-Yaqin Exclusive Interview with one of Al-Qaa’idah’s Soldiers

     Praise be to Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the messenger of Allah.

     By the grace of Allah, your brothers in the Al-Yaqin Media Center were able to set an exclusive and unique interview with one of the soldiers of Al-Qaa’idah of Jihad Organization, and the soldier, may Allah protect him, answered with patience, humbleness, and pride, which are the distinct attributes for all of the people of jihad.

     We will leave you with the exciting interview that reveals many matters and in the same time adds to it mystery and desire.

     Q) There have been many talks lately through the electronic sites — which are concerned to reveal the truth for the Muslims and bring the mujahidin news — about possible strikes on the land of the enemy, America or Europe. What are your comments about this?

     A) All the praises and thanks belong to Allah, and may the prayers and peace be upon the messenger of Allah. What you have felt in these good sites is a natural result that is accepted by any rational person, everyone, the near and far, knows the extent of oppression that has befallen the Muslims and they know who are the ones who defend them, which is Al-Qaa’idah.

     They also know that Al-Qaa’idah does not stay quiet against tyranny, but rather they push the oppression away from themselves and their Ummah.

     The boiling of these sites is not — in anticipation of the punishment to take place from Al-Qaa’idah organization against the transgressor tyrants against us and our ummah — greater than the boiling of blood in our veins. We in the Al-Qaa’idah organization work on the goal to avenge for America and Europe for the harm they caused against the Muslims. These electronic sites that convey the truth and the mujahidin news to the people have become conscious and aware where the participants are conversant about the war’s reality and its stages and they expect what is very close for reality.

     Q) Do you believe in the pursuit of the jihadi media to suggest that there are strikes on the enemy’s land that will fluster the enemy’s plans?

     A) In the beginning the enemy does not lack confusion; it has not cured the wounds that we caused, so that someone comes to threaten them by other strikes in their homeland. Our enemy knows well that if the Al-Qaa’idah Organization threatens then they will carry out their threat and make the element of surprise in timing and target the most important element in the strike.

     This time the threat came to our leader and Ameer, Shaykh Usama bin Ladin, may Allah protect him, and he threatened America in a clear phrase and not in suggestions or implications, and he named some European countries by name, including Australia!

     With no doubt this confuses the enemy where they know that Shaykh Usama bin Ladin does not threaten from emptiness, and he weighs his threats and knows his abilities and does not threaten until the preparations to execute the operation are completed and the choice of the best time to execute it is left.

     As for the suggestion, this is a tool that the Al-Qaa’idah Organization has mastered well; I do not hide from you that in one of As-Sahab Organization’s publications the timing of the strike against the Danish Embassy in Pakistan was announced by pinpointing the day and the target exactly! This was before the strike in some time and I cannot give out more details in this matter.

     The jihadi media in its variations gives out hits for the strikes with the power to camouflage it to prove their power and capability in the execution with the suggestion of the timing and place of the strike as part of the challenge that has had no match before.

     Q) You have seen the publication of As-Sahab Media entitled ‘The Word is the Word of the Swords Part 1.’ Does this suggestion need to be clearer?

     A) The number 1 was written implying the strikes against Europe; number 2 and number 3 and others are close, perhaps rather very close!

     For one time the Al-Qaa’idah Organization suggests that the strike will be in the so-and-so country in the world and at other times another country, and sometimes they hint that the strike will be by this means and sometimes by another method. Therefore the enemy will be lost and confused and will remain in an alert situation not knowing from where the strike will come upon them and when it will be or where. This in itself is one of our goals and is classified under the psychological war.

     The jihadi media suggestion is not coming out from a void, but rather it is correct and in its place, and after the strikes will take place, you will know what I mean, by the will of Allah.

     Q) If there were no strikes at this time, would this affect the course of the battle?

     A) Yes, the occurrence and non-occurrence of strikes will have an effect, and in both cases the benefit falls into our hands. Certainly, in case it occurs, the war’s equation will change completely. When we strike the West, we strike with devastating hits that are different than what we practice in guerrilla warfare, which is called the ‘prick of needles.’ Our brothers have left for some time to all parts of the world and are waiting to receive the zero hour to implement operations. We ask Allah to guide the brothers who went out in support of Allah’s religion, blessing be to the Exalted.

     Some of them even exist since the events of September 11th and they are from the original Americans who did not leave America; waiting for the go-ahead signal to implement. This is up to the discretion of our Shaykh Usama bin Ladin, may Allah protect him. There are others scattered around the globe awaiting orders, and they are absorbed among the people to eliminate attention and to increase their penetration in the centers of the anticipated strikes.

     We know the strikes’ whereabouts, but we do not know the timing or the specific target and only the Shaykh knows, but we receive signals before the strike and we are asked to insist on supplication [to Allah], like what happened with the 11 September strikes and others. We knew that America would be hit within a few days, but we did not know the exact target. We used to laugh about them, and the brothers were making jokes about the Americans and those who promoted the saying that the 11 September strikes were planned by the enemy. We used to comment in a funny way about the silliness of their sayings, and this only demonstrated their weakness and lack of ploy.

     Now we know that there is an imminent strike against Europe and America, which is strong in the element of time and place, and there are so many, thus the mujahidin could choose what’s best. For example, during elections, the state will be concerned with many things; such days are distinctive for Al-Qaa’idah to prove its challenge and show strength when the world is awaiting the outcome of its elections!

     Q) Do you think that the Al-Qaa’idah Organization has become powerful enough to announce the time and the date of the strikes?

     A) Certainly, we have previously and before the beginning of the war threatened to strike America, and we struck it in the most difficult place and the best that could be struck – the World Trade Towers – which we had made into a trace with Allah’s support, and the Ministry of Defense building, the Pentagon, their war fortress! Its timing was 911, which is the number to call for help, which they were fond of and with which they deceive their people into believing that their country is the most secure country! Is there anything more than this challenge and power?

     Then we led them to fall into the Afghani and the Iraqi trap. We threatened to strike Spain and we executed our threat with the most difficult timing for Spain, a few days before the elections. Is there anything more than this challenge and power? And we collapsed its government.

     Since others did not learn the lesson like Britain, we also threatened them and implemented our threat with a great challenge as it came a few months after the re-election of their head of government, with whom they claimed they were challenging us, and we caused them to collapse as well. The greatest challenge was that the implementation of the strikes came at a time when Britain was heading the summit meeting of the big eight, as they claim, but it came at the time of the meeting! Does anyone doubt Al-Qaa’idah’s capabilities and strength?

     Didn’t we seek to remove the American soldiers from the Arabian Peninsula and most of them fled from the land of the two Holy Mosques [Saudi Arabia] because of us and they remained in the outskirts where it is easy to hunt them?

     Didn’t we seek to expose and bring down Pervez Musharraf and we did?

     Didn’t we seek to unite with the truthful in Iraq and then the Islamic State of Iraq was established?

     When we promise something we fulfill our promise, and there is no success without Allah, and we submit all our events to Him, to whom belongs might and majesty, and we have no power and strength except by Him.

     In recent times we threatened Denmark and only a short period passed and the embassy, which is supposed to be one of their most secure and monitored embassies because of its proximity to the war zone, was struck.

     Let the cross worshipers await the strikes in their homeland, which will make them, Allah willing, fight each other after its occurrence!

     Q) There is a proposal that says that there are strikes specifically in Houston. Do you believe that the US President should evacuate Houston to protect his people from the strikes of the mujahidin? And if he paid no attention to such matters, would he be in an embarrassing position in front of his people as well as his situation is today?

     A) The US President never cared, on any day, for his people, but he, along with his angels of punishment, was always concerned with discharging his hatred against Islam and Muslims, gaining more in personal wealth, and lifting the shares of their security and oil companies. He never cared for his people.

     Ever since Shaykh Usama bin Ladin, may Allah protect him, made his famous promise that America would not dream of living in security in America unless we live it in reality in Palestine and unless all the disbelieving armies leave the land of Muhammad, prayers and peace be upon him; this has been happening to them through their loss of security.

     Imagine that the city of Dubai, the city whose tyrant has spread all types of revelry and abomination, is more secure than Houston! Dick Cheney’s company, which is called Halliburton, moved from Houston to Dubai, as they are keen to maintain their personal interests and they are primarily not interested in their people. Texas is in our sight!

     We in the Al-Qaa’idah organization know the rule that states ‘fight your enemy with the weapon he fears, not with the weapon you fear.’ What our enemy fears the most are two matters:

     A) a chemical-biological-radiological nuclear strike; and
     B) a strike targeting the infrastructure of the energy industry!

     If this is what intimidates and punishes our enemy severely, it is obvious that we use and focus on studying it and preparing for it.

     This is what we are certain of and the days carry much of the surprises of Al-Qaa’idah that will make you happy, and we have accustomed you to the creativity of Shaykh Usama bin Ladin, may Allah protect him.

     As for the evacuation of the city or not, according to the proposal, I think that Bush and his administration will not evacuate the city to achieve their personal goals, as they do not care for the Afghani person nor the Iraqi person nor the Somali person nor the Palestinian person, not even the American person. They consider humans as banknotes that are to be disbursed in return.

     Even if the strikes were carried out in Houston, for example, and tens of thousands of disbelievers were eliminated, Bush would appear before his people to exploit his media apparatus and people’s emotions and say that he was correct in the foolishness and actions he took in which he fought us and failed, and that failure in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia was worth sacrificing them!

     If all the people in Texas perished, we would have not fulfilled the rights of the dead Muslims yet, and we will fight them until we take revenge on the criminals who fought us and we will never leave them. I do not think that Bush would be embarrassed if tens of thousands perished and their bodies were blasted to pieces, as he is practicing a dictatorship and no one in his country stands in front of him. Of course Bush and those like him are not embarrassed as his face and the faces of those like him are missing modesty. We are not concerned whether he is embarrassed or not, as we are continuing in our jihad and plans. The news is in what they see, not what they hear.

     Q) Do you agree with us that Bush, according to the previous notion about Houston, is facing two challenges: first in case of attacks, if the matter is ignored it will be agonizing; second, if the matter is taken seriously and Houston in particular is evacuated and Bush waits for days and days and Houston is not attacked, don’t you agree with us that this will be a disastrous blow from the mujahidin and will not cost them anything!!?

     A) What happened in Al-Khubar, Yanbu’, and Baqiq [Saudi Arabia], and what is now happening in Yemen are considered beginnings, procedures, and research of the oil situation and results of decisive hits. As for the attacks that cost us any price, these are very numerous and necessitate research of their own. For Allah, to whom belongs might and majesty, is most generous and we do feel that He grants us victory in all our circumstances. We achieve victory through our jihad and it comes to us even if we do not carry out operations. So we praise and thank Allah, Lord of all the creation.

     Q) We want to give you a chance to express here your aspirations concerning the future without disclosing any information that may benefit the enemies.

     A) The brother John Walker Lindh is of pure American origin and is accused of fighting with the Taliban and Al-Qaa’idah. Brother Adam Gadahn is also a pure white American who grew up and was raised in California. There are dozens of Americans and hundreds of Europeans who came to Afghanistan and were trained at our camps. Some were native citizens who entered Afghanistan and returned to their homes without having anything on their passports that indicated that they came to Afghanistan or any of the countries surrounding Afghanistan. This is part of the security measures that we cannot disclose.

     Imagine what can happen when inside America and Europe there are mujahidin who carry their original names, have jobs, and even many who have not declared their Islamic religion but are waiting for a signal to carry out orders.

     In addition to that there are many university professors in western countries who started contacting us and providing us with important information. Furthermore, the relatives of those Americans who were killed fighting with the American Army and had been, along with their relatives, underestimated by the American Administration which did not announce their names made them feel deeply frustrated. This made them cooperate and correspond with us to seek revenge from the American Administration which sacrificed their children and discriminated between its dead by not proclaiming most of them who were in the tens of thousands. The American Administration only announced the names of those who had close contacts with the officers and the officials. In addition, some individuals who work at their ministries [departments] contact us and provide us with information, for it does not make sense that the people of a country that is defeated continue to support and sustain it. There are those who work with us in return for money and those who work with us to seek revenge on the American Administration and the European governments.

     Before ending I would like to tell you that whoever thinks that our Shaykh Usama bin Ladin, may Allah protect him, will perform the same kind of operations does not know Shaykh Usama yet!

     The future is for Islam and its mujahidin vanguards with Al-Qaa’idah Organization at the top. The brothers have devoted themselves during the last six months in order to prepare, choose, and select western targets, and we have started with the raid of the ‘The Word is the Word of the Swords Part 1 – The Raid of the Muezzin.’ As for what is to come, this will be in the truthful media, the jihadi media where there is much work. So be optimistic and prepare yourselves for it.

     Q) We thank you for this great and beneficial interview and we ask God to bless your precious time.

     A) May Allah bless the Al-Yaqin Media Center and all the jihadi media compounds that transmit the true picture of what is going on.

     I ask you to pray for your brothers who have gone out to carry out operations and that Allah the Almighty may guide them and severely punish America and Europe.

     May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

     Oh Deliverer of the book, fast in judgment, defeat the parties and shake them.

     Oh Deliverer of the book, fast in judgment, defeat the parties and shake them.

     Oh Deliverer of the book, fast in judgment, defeat the parties and shake them.

     “Indeed the Believers are Only Brothers”
     Abu ‘Umar Al-Baghdadi
     (May Allah Protect him)
     (Leader of the Islamic State of Iraq)

     All praise be to Allah, He Who said in the clear and exact revelation:

     “Fighting has been ordained for you though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.”

     And may the Peace and Blessings be upon the giver of glad-tidings and the warner, he who said [in comparing Islam to a camel],

     “The head of the matter is Islam, its backbone is the Prayer, and the peak of its hump is Jihad.”

     He who said:

     “Whoever dies without fighting or having the determination to do so, will surely have died upon a branch of hypocrisy.”

     To proceed:

     Indeed the ‘brothers of apes and pigs’, the worshippers of false gods, are pouring down fire upon our fellow Muslims in Gaza. They have killed the women and the elderly. They have demolished homes over their owners, and even more, they have increased their transgression, rebellion, and wantonness by razing mosques, the Houses of Allah. They have done this openly in front of the eyes of the Muslims, being shown all over the media. So what have you done, O nation of Islam?! Have you not read the saying of Allah:

     “And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help.” [Surah Al-Nisaa (4):75]

     And His saying:

     “Indeed the believers are only brothers.” [Surah Al-Hujuraat (49):10]

     What will you do with the His words:

     “The believing men and women are supporters and allies to each another.” [Surah Al-Tawbah (9):71]

     Indeed coming to the aid of the weak and oppressed believers in Gaza is an individual obligation upon every Muslim, an obligatory right which has been mandated by the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth. Indeed deserting them and taking the matter of helping them lightly and not lifting this injustice and oppression is a great sin, and it is considered a form of participation in a crime which will never cease to be a shame in the lives of every Muslim and after their death.

     O Muslims! Indeed the rulers of the Islamic lands are traitors, infidels and lewd sinners, liars, fabricators and criminals. Where are all these slogans of Pan-Arabism, nationalism and patriotism, when the war has been proclaimed against the weak and oppressed Muslims of Gaza from the ‘Land of Kinanah’ itself, from Egypt, made to ruin by the rule of the Taghoot, LaMubarak (Not Blessed), the enemy of Allah and the Muslims, the ally of the criminal Jews.

     O Muslims! If we don’t stand against these traitorous rulers today, then when will we do so? They have betrayed your religion and usurped your wealth, and here you see them today participating in the massacre of your brothers and children. Revolt against them! Break their thrones! Remove them from Authority! Destroy their tyranny and transgression! Raise your arms and fight to escape from this humiliation and shame! What has been forcefully taken cannot be reclaimed except through force. What has been taken by military coups and idolatrous elections cannot be reclaimed except through the barrels of rifles. Be truthful to Allah and to yourselves! Do you think that the leaders of Egypt, Jordon, the Levant (Syria) and the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, and Yemen) will ever one day stand in defense of the religion, land and honor? So if the answer to this is known to every infant who has tasted the bitterness of humiliation and pain from the breast-milk of its mother, then how long will you remain silent?

     O Muslims! Make the bravery of your brothers in Gaza today the flame which ignites you to free Muslim countries from the transgressors, for indeed the Messenger of Allah said:

     “The Hour will not be established until the Romans come to Al-A’maaq or Dabiq (two areas in Greater Syria). An army will go out to fight them from Medina, from the best of people in the world that day; when they line up to fight, the Romans will say, ‘Leave us to fight those who took our women and children captive,’ to which the Muslims will respond, ‘No by Allah! We will never leave you to our brothers.’ So they will fight them. A third of the Muslims will flee, and they are those who Allah will never forgive them; a third will be killed, and they are the best of martyrs in the sight of Allah; and a third will gain victory, and they will never be tried.”

     This is the example of the Muslim. He does not desert his brother nor leaves him to his enemy, nor leaves in his time of need. If Allah will not forgive those who run away after they actually fought in this battle, what do you think about the sin of those who do not fight at all? The Messenger of Allah, as mentioned in the Saheeh:

     “Come to the aid of your brother, whether he is oppressing or being oppressed.”

     And he said:

     “The Muslims are brethren. They do not oppress each other nor surrender them.”

     We are a nation in which each person supports the other to form a strong wall, as the Messenger of Allah described us to be, saying:

     “The believers to each other are like a wall, they strengthen each other.”

     What we see as the solution, by the Will of Allah:

     First: that the intelligent men should lead the angry masses which came out to protest in streets and cities of the countries neighboring Palestine to attack the borders becoming one with our Palestinian people, and participate with their brothers in their Jihad in every way possible, the least of them being seizing control of the weapons of the border patrol and the military bases spread along them which protect the Zionist enemies.

     Second: Every Muslim who has been forced to serve in the armies of these idolic rulers, and every officer who has seen this treachery with his own eyes, repenting to Allah, must smuggle as many weapons he can outside their units, or guide others to the locations of weapon depots and stores so they may seize them and smuggle them to our brothers in Palestine, for I was pained to see helicopters in its skies, while it does not take huge weapons to down them. These weapons are also to be used to kill every idolic figure, however major or minor he may be, who prevents people from protesting from our solidarity with our brothers in Gaza. And let all people know that our fight with the Jews and their aides is not one of screaming and yelling, but rather one in which blood flows like rivers and body parts fly in all directions like stones, for Allah will never relieve us from this state of humiliation until we sell our souls to Allah for a cheap price and rule by his Law in His land.

     Third: In regards to our brothers in Palestine, and in Gaza specifically, the obligation of the time upon those who are fighting to raise the Word of Allah, seeking to bring honor and glory to His religion, is that they unite under one flag. You must know that you must compromise these worldly benefits wrapped in false notions. If you do not unite today, then by Allah when will you do so? Fear Allah and fight the enemies of Allah as he commanded. He said:

     “Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in a row, as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.” [Surah Al-Saff (61):4]

     Fourth: The Palestinians all over the world must come to the aid of their brothers. There can be found in practically every country – well educated, having military and technical skills. They must strike at American and Jewish interests all over the world. All praise is due to Allah, they are not short of experience or bravery, and they are keener on helping their people than others.

     Fifth: Isn’t it time that the weapons that are stored in the Palestinian weapon depots be used against the transgressors, instead of bring used in mere military displays not leaving the camps? What are they waiting for? Has there ever been a time as severe as this? Or are they only trying to defend the shabby standard of living offered to them by the idolic rulers of Muslim countries?
     I warn the Muslims, especially the scholars and intellects among them, from diffusing the anger of the Muslims in senseless protests that serve no purpose, or to make them feel satisfied with donating money to their brothers which will never reach them in the first place. This what the Jews and Christians want from us. They kill us, and then tell their agents to receive the injured and bury the dead. And for this reason they founded the Red Cross.

     As for us here in Iraq, indeed we promise our people in Gaza that we will not desert them on the battlefield of our fight against the Jews and their aides. We will increase our operations against the American occupiers.

     And we have good news for our brothers in Palestine and Iraq that the victory is near, for indeed Allah said:

     “Indeed with hardship comes ease, indeed with hardship comes ease.” (Surah Al-Sharh (94):5-6]

     Indeed we see the end of the Jews and their agents imminent on the hands of the Knights of Tawheed and Bearers of the flag of “Laa ilaaha ill-Allah”.

     And Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest!

     “And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most people do not know.” [Surah Yousuf (12):21]

     Your Brother,
     Abu ‘Umar Al-Baghdadi

     Salamualkum, brothers and sisters

     Mashallah, I have enjoyed reading each and every comment, walahmaduillah. Although, I have to say that wasting time on this “American Muslim” is not very smart. He has come to this site, to start fitnah and distract us from the main point which is to make duaa, and share informative information with each other. I was very sadden to read that torture our brothers go under the KSA regime. May allah protect them. Also, I have read few sisters looking for a muhraam. I have stated many times already on this blog, that I am single brother that is looking forward on Hijrah, and is interested in a sister that has the common interest.

     Bismillah

     As salaam aliekum wa rahmatullah

     News update. On most Islamic Arab web sites they are carrying a fatwa signed by 108 Scholars most of them from Saudi.

     The fatwa states that any ruler supporting the Gaza Holocaust is a kaffir and anyone who is manning the borders between Egypt and Gaza should immediately disobey the ruler and allow the border to be opened. Furthermore, any border guards who follow the instructions of the ruler in reference to aiding the kuffar fall under the same ruling.

     In summary, the president of Egypt if guilty of helping the Israeli’s and the soldiers on the border who are taking orders from the ruler and obeying these orders are Kuffar in general.

     It is difficult to see how it can be otherwise considering that Mubarak (and he definetely isn’t that) can order the border open as he feels.

     I couldn’t find this fatwa on any English sites which is strange!

     Awadh al-qarni taken from the south of saudi by the intelligence for interogation over his fatwa

     “I am outraged”, says Ban Ki-moon about the latest attack on the UN building and I will be demanding an explanation.

     Woof woof woof!

     I can hazard a guess at the explanation. “Well it is regretable but we missed our intended target that’s war. Now let’s move on to the next thing on the agenda” Oh, yes we will be having a party for all UN personel later this evening please do join us.

     The reason that this war is continuing is because it is a crusade, CRUSADE against Muslims. The west is peeved at the fact that they can’t stop the Mujahideen. They are vexed at the fact that they can’t quell the Jihad. They are pulling their hair out as they can’t recruit more innocent people to join their armies and get killed for self interests. They are losing the war against Islam and they are losing material, personel and money.

     IN short they plan and Allah plans and Allah is the best of planners.

     To “Kufr Akbar”:

     Please be more respectful to UBL. UBL’s statements may be trivial to you, but the god you worship, whether it is GWB or Obama, both of them scramble to listen and figure out what he’s saying. You can go ahead and insult the leaders of the Mujahideen today, but I get the vibe that you are saying things like this in a desparate attempt to convince yourself that his words are trivial, and lack wisdom. Like a child who still can’t accept that santa claus, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy, and the crucifixion of the Prophet Jesus are a pack of lies, who still believes that GWB is divinely inspired, or that Obama is the messiah, who honestly believes that uncle sam is decimating the forces of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, and that “Mission has been accomplished in Iraq”, and will soon eternally vanquish the forces of Islam, the empty rants, and rhetoric that you spew is most amusing. If you truly believe that UBL is insignificant, then why is GWB spending billions to find him, or spending even more billions trying to fight him, or why does your messiah Obama plan to spend even more billions to continue to try to fight him? Are you smarter than Obama? Maybe he should start listening to you! LOL! You’re going to hate me for this, but I have to let you in on this “secret”: When UBL speaks, THE WORLD LISTENS! Think about it. If you resent us so much, go make yourself useful, like lighting another candle for the “victims” of 9/11, or donate your life savings for the families of the soldiers who threw away their lives for oil (I mean freedom). Go do that, I know GWB, and Obama would be proud of you. Stop wasting time here.

     Your ignorance may be bliss to you, but to the rest of us, it is a disgrace.

     Insha’Allah we need to organize brothers and sisters. There can be no more soft Islam. We need unification so that we are no longer humiliated please organize. I cannot stress this more than it is due. We must form grassroots organizations then go out and find others and unite. Top down isn’t working, because the scholars whose voices are most heard are puppets of kings. We need to make our voices heard that we demand the most knowledgeable and capable be our leaders. Please watch the video above I think it explains the basics nicely.

You could also direct the jew-zionist/Jufr akber to many of the zionist sites which would love to hear his zionist propaganda nonsense. This is a serious request jazakallah khair.

     @Just a Muslim, yes we have to love one another, but you have to understand it correctly, you can’t be loving your enemy when they are killing you by the scores! And it’s worse when these atrocities are being carried out by the so called muslim states and armies. Even Isa aleihissalam did turn the tables of the riba dealers when he got angry with them. Imagine what would he do if he was among us today witnessing what is happening in Gaza. Without a doubt he would be in the forefronts of the jihad fisabilillah.

     Asalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatulahi Wa Barakatuhu:
     .
     Ibn Adam here it is:
     .
     “All praise be to Allah. We thank Him, we seek His guidance and forgiveness. We seek His refuge from the evils of our souls, and the evil results of our deeds.
     .
     Whosoever Allah guides, there is none to lead him astray, and whosoever is led astray by Allah, there is none to guide him.
     .
     I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah, alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.
     .
     To proceed:
     .
     My dear Muslim Ummah
     .
     I am not the one who stands in front of you in these difficult days under the guise of condemnation and denunciation to react toward what is happening to our people in Gaza, but I stand before you to say a word of truth which helps us to get back what was extorted of the truth.
     .
     Word of truth which doesn’t wheedle neither king nor Prince, neither savant nor minister.
     .
     Word which doesn’t recognize the false international legitimacy and fear not the United Nations Security Council which spread fright among the oppressed people in the small and weak countries like Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Kashmir and Chechnya.
     .
     Word of truth which the whole world stood against in order to erase it from our method and life then erase us.
     .
     It is the sacred Jihad (fighting for the sake of Allah) to get back Bayt al-Maqdis and al-Quds (Jerusalem)
     .
     Poetry:
     .
     O captive Quds suffering its violation
     And Muslims still sleeping far from Jihad
     .
     O my Muslim Ummah
     .
     The great point of imbalance in the previous efforts to free Palestine is that, those who assumed its cause were governors who betrayed their trust. In the war of 1948, the Muslims were surprised how we were defeated, but the surprise was to be victorious in that war, how can we be victorious while our kings entrusted the matter of war to the real governor of Jordan at that time, the British General Glub Basha. How can a nation be victorious while the leader of its armies is its enemy? At that time every one of our kings had a Basha like this one to guide him, for example: in Peninsula he was the non-enthroned king, the British General Philip, and it was enough for deceiving people to be named by the governor as Haj Abd-Allah Philip.
     .
     Him who looked into the British related to this matter knows the degree of heedlessness reigning at that time among people, and now these deceptions still continuing with a change of faces and names. In each capital today there is “Bremer” (ex U.S. Civil Administrator of Iraq) overtly or secretly, and there is with him “Allawi” (former Iraqi Prime Minister ) at his disposal to execute his orders, and in each country there is “Sistani” (Iranian Shi’a cleric in Iraq) and “Tantawi” (Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar University in Egypt) supported by groups of official and unofficial Savants, and groups of writers, intellectuals, journalists and reporters who give false legitimacy to the agents of the crusaders in our countries. All these groups are enemies of our Ummah (nation) and we must beware of them, they are known in majority because the most important of their characteristics is that the governor enables them of the mass media to address people and deceive them regularly, while he prevents the truthful from a Friday sermon in outlying village.
     .
     Other points of imbalance we face nowadays are many ways that are raising slogans to free Palestine, most of them are in favor of mislaying the cause. One of the vastest way is what the governments are doing concerning the Ministerial Sessions and transference of the cause to the United Nations and Security Council, this is a way of disclaiming the responsibility and mislaying of the Palestinian cause.
     .
     Some of these ways also, is what some savants are doing about asking the governors to come to aid of Palestine, this is another way of disclaiming the responsibility and mislaying the Aqsa mosque and the martyrs’ bloods. How can we ask help from the agents of our enemies, aren’t those people tired of supplicating during these long decades?
     .
     Poetry:
     .
     Him who seeks the help from Amer in his distress
     Is like him who seeks help of fire from scorching heat
     .
     There is another way taken by the Islamic groups and which is the permission of the governors to do Jihad, or asking them (governors) to be at the level of their peoples’ requests, and this is also another way of disclaiming the responsibility, which results in foisting heads into sands and deceiving the followers of these groups, and it is also mislaying of the cause. Those (leaders of the Islamic groups) must speak out frankly to their brothers and inform them that the responsibility is very heavy and they are not ready to assume it. Both international and regional Kufr (disbelief) are the same in attacking violently every one working and saying the word of truth in favor of this cause.
     .
     The duty is to instigate the youths to do Jihad and to arrange them in battalions to fight for the sake of Allah the Zionist-Crusader alliance and its agents in the region, not to make them feel satisfied by protesting in streets without arms. These leaders of the Islamic groups must let the courageous and capable persons from their brothers to lead the group in these difficult conditions in order to do the legitimate duty.
     .
     Poetry:
     .
     Him among you who is not convinced that the fight is a duty
     Must give the way for other and not stray the one who is convinced
     .
     With all these numerous deviated ways, there is one right way to get back al-Aqsa mosque and Palestine, it is the Jihad for the sake of Allah as we mentioned before. Allah Soubhanahu Wa Taala shows us how to stop the aggression of the infidels in the Holy Quran when He said: [Then fight (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) in the Cause of Allâh, you are not tasked (held responsible) except for yourself, and incite the believers (to fight along with you), it may be that Allâh will restrain the evil might of the disbelievers. And Allâh is Stronger in Might and Stronger in punishing.] (4:84). So, by inciting people and fighting the enemy, so that the aggression of the infidels stops.
     .
     As I say to my Ummah:
     .
     Leaving the responsibility on the governors and savants, doesn’t exempt you (O my Ummah) from responsibility, but it is also another way of disclaiming the responsibility. For the order of Allah in the Holy Quran is very clear whereas the Jihad for the sake of Allah with soul and money is a duty until the achievement of the goal..
     .
     O my Muslim Ummah:
     .
     You are able to defeat the Zionist entity by your popular potentialities and huge energies without any support of the governors, even the majority stand with the Zionist-Crusader alliance in the same trench. Here , I would like to assure you my Ummah, I am sure that this matter is easy for you Allah willing if we took it seriously by trusting in Allah Soubhanahu Wa Taala, executing his orders and abandoning the deviated way.
     .
     Here I am giving you two evidences proving that you are able to defeat our enemies by small capacities:
     .
     * First evidence is the great defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan by the grace of Allah then by your popular efforts without any intervention of any army of your governments, even if the general winds were behind the Mujahideen’s ship at that war. Since that the flag of the Soviet Union was removed from the world and thrown in the forgetting basket, praise and gratitude are due to Allah.
     .
     * As for the second evidence: after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the American system seized the opportunity of being alone without adversary and went into impose its hegemony and policy upon the world, so the governors of our region became more surrendering which made America more tyrant and more supporting the Zionist entity to destroy the crops and the cattle in Palestine.
     .
     Then a group of your sons (O my Ummah) declared the Jihad against this only magnate, Hitler of the era, the rhinoceros to which we broke the horn, destroyed its fort and demolished its tower (9/11 events). That made its president angry and claimed that he would reach the Mujahideen’s leaders dead or alive to regain the prestige of America and to make them as a lesson for others, he was like Abu Jahel in Bader battle and went out strutting by his great number of accouterments. Thus we destroyed them, killed his soldiers and dispersed his companions, by the grace of Allah.
     .
     Hence, when the battle became fierce and the enemy attacked us, the response was the sharp swords to drive away the oppression .
     .
     Here is America being shaky under the hits of the Mujahideen which made it suffering from human political and financial losses and now it is drowning in the economic crisis till the point of asking for alms from both small and grand countries. Therefore, this made it without respect in front of its friends and it could no longer dread its enemies.

     .
     Here we need a stance of pondering, you know well that the first loser due to the recession of the American oppression is the Zionist entity, because it will lose one of the most important components of its subsistence and life’s arteries. This terrible and fast recession of the American power is one of the most important causes which pushed the Israelis to carry out this savage attack on Gaza, in a despairing attempt to profit from the last days of the two periods of Bush administration, in which the Zionist entity found what couldn’t be reached by others from power, money, determination and rancor to assault the Muslims and to beat all powers refusing the American ascendancy in the region.
     .
     Since the White House’s forces being broken down over the Mujahideen’s rock in Afghanistan and drowning in quagmires of Iraq, this is why the Israelis are in a hurry to defeat their enemies in Gaza to replace them by Mahmoud Abbas and his authority for protecting their backs. So they carried out this terrible genocide before the end of the Bush’s period of rule and before more appearance of the American weakness, so that the Veto will collapse because the world started revolting against it and voices started rising high to annul it, it (Veto) is an unconcealed and flagrant call for oppression and arrogance.
     .
     O my Muslim Ummah:
     .
     This talk about weakness and recession of the American ascendancy as well as the collapse of its economy, is not a talk of hopes, but testimonies given by leaders themselves which they couldn’t conceal any longer:
     .
     * Biden the US vice president says: “the crisis is more difficult than we expected, the whole American economy is exposed to collapse”.
     .
     * The former chairman of American Reserve Bank (Alan Greenspan) says: “the big recession will appear as a nice promenade in comparison with the economic crisis”.
     .
     * As for the French president Nicolas Sarkozy, he described the crisis saying: “the crisis is very deep and the Global Financial System was about to fall in a catastrophe”. And I say: it is really inside the catastrophe by the grace of Allah because of those oppressors.
     .
     * The German Finance Minister said: “the world will never return to the previous situation prevailing before this crisis, and the United States will lose its position as a great force in the Global Financial System”.
     .
     Then, I present to you reports of the American intelligence which confirm the recession of the American influence in the coming years.

     O my Muslim Ummah:
     .
     Indeed the Jihad of your sons against the Zionist-Crusader alliance is one of the main causes (after the grace of Allah) in all these results which destroyed our enemies, and which appeared after the “seven years” war, and I assure you O my Ummah -regarding the graces that Allah bestowed us-, we feel that Allah granted us patience which suffices us to continue on the way of Jihad for seven years again, and seven and seven again.. Allah willing. The patience is the best weapon and Taqwa (piety) is the best provision. If we got martyrdom so we achieved what we were looking for, but the flag of Jihad will never fall down until the Day of the Judgment as we were informed by the prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
     .
     But the question is: Can America continue in fighting us for coming decades?
     .
     The reports and indicators suggest otherwise, and that 75% of the American people are pleased by the departure of the president who entangled them in wars that exceeded their power, and plunged his country into economic turmoil. His successor has inherited a heavy legacy and was left between two bitter choices, like the one who swallowed a double-edged dagger which hurts him with any small movement. It is a most difficult heritage, to inherit a long guerrilla war with a patient stubborn enemy, that is funded with usury loans. For if he (enemy) withdrew from the war, it will be a military defeat, and if he continued the war he will sink in the economic crisis, how then about inheriting two wars, in which he is not able to continue, and we are on our way to open other fronts Allah Willing.
     .
     O my Ummah, with greater reason you should put your hands on the hands of your sons “the Mujahedeen” to continue Jihad against Allah’s enemies and to go through exhausting them on those two fronts and the other open fronts of the war with the Zionist-Crusader alliance and its agents in the region, in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Waziristan, Islamic Maghreb and Somalia…
     .
     It is your duty to support them with souls and money full supply, for I experienced Jihad by Allah’s grace and I know its financial costs, the Zakat (charity money) of one of the rich Muslim dealers can cover the expenses of Jihad in all the current open fronts with our enemies, and Jihad has a share in the Zakat as you know. Hence, the happy one is the one who could participate in the victory of his religion and could defend his prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his nation.
     .
     How similar the hardship of the Mujahideen today, to the hardship the Muslims passed by in al-Usrah (the hardship) army at the time of the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), till Uthman Ben Affan came and equipped most of the army, the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said then: “Nothing of Uthman’s deeds will harm him after that”.
     .
     Who is willing to be Uthman of this current hardship??
     .
     I know many of the Muslim dealers who can pay for the sake of Allah without meanness, but they are afraid of America and its agents in the region, and I say to them ‘this is not an excuse, you are in a test in this dunya (worldly life), and remember what Allah says : [do you fear them? But Allah is most deserving that you should fear Him, if you are believers].(9:13).
     .
     There must be migration and endurance for the costs of the victory and implementation of the religion, the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who is the best of the mankind was obligated to hide in a laurel and to leave his people, his family and homeland, to migrate from Mecca, the best place on earth.
     .
     Hurry up, seize the precious opportunity, and take the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as your good example when he hid in the laurel. Can’t anyone of you hide in a house in some place!? Isn’t it too vast the earth of Allah, to hide in to do the financial Jihad worship?!
     .
     Allah Soubhanahu Wa Taala says: [O My servants who believe! surely My earth is vast, therefore Me alone should you serve] (29:56), and says: [Surely (as for) those whom the angels cause to die while they are unjust to their souls, they shall say: In what state were you? They shall say: We were weak in the earth. They shall say: Was not Allah's earth spacious, so that you should have migrated therein? So these it is whose abode is hell, and it is an evil resort. Surely (as for) those whom the angels cause to die while they are unjust to their souls, they shall say: In what state were you? They shall say: We were weak in the earth. They shall say: Was not Allah's earth spacious, so that you should have migrated therein? So these it is whose abode is hell, and it is an evil resort] (4:97-98).
     .
     O my Muslim Ummah:
     .
     These wars, calamities and ordeals involve in them grants, and wise people are not to leave these grants to pass without benefiting from them, you have great opportunity to push away injustice and tyranny which is practiced upon you from in and outside since many decades, and snatch forcibly your rights. Him who tells you (O my Ummah) that the way to take back rights is the ballot boxes (giving you as example the Western peoples), those are deceiving you and lying to you! They say this out of either fear or greed of the rulers, because the Western people -whom they are giving as an example- got back their rights with rebellions and armed force.
     .
     After seven years of war between Britain and France for the acquisition of America, both of them suffered a huge economic crisis, which prompted the leaders to impose taxes on people, and this –with what preceded it of injustice and tyranny of the kings- was the incentive of the French Revolution.
     .
     For the King Louis XIV used to say: “I am the State and the State is but me”, and this is what our leaders and kings are saying today, then the French people took the grants from among these ordeals and rebelled against the unjust kings who sucked their bloods and riches, and they dethroned Louis XIV, guillotined him and took their rights with the army force.
     .
     There is no place for the ballot boxes in our countries under the ruling of tyrants. And it is regrettable and should be noted that many of the great scholars and preachers market for this big trick!
     .
     And from that economic crisis, the Americans too rebelled against Britain to get back their rights, they didn’t follow the trick of democracy which they are deceiving us with today in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries. However they took back their rights with army and force. Learn a lesson from it O you who have insight.
     .
     We as Muslims believe that it is the nation’s right to elect its president and we believe in Shoura, however we believe that the Western democracy –beside being a big trick- it is an illegitimate heresy from the Islamic point of view, and Muslims do not agree to be ruled but with Allah’s rulings not man-made laws.
     .
     In our religion, fighting for the sake of Allah against the invaders and the apostate rulers is for Allah’s word to be the highest, till things are back to normalcy and till rights are back to their owners.
     .
     At the end I say to our people in Palestine:
     .
     May Allah make great your reward for what you endured..
     May Allah accept your dead among martyrs..
     May Allah cure your wounded sooner..
     And I ask Him the Great and Almighty to comfort the families of the victims and to reward them the best.
     .
     O my brothers in Palestine, you suffered so much as your fathers did nine decades ago, and the Muslims are sympathizing with you for what they see and hear, and we “the Mujahideen” are also sympathizing with you more because they (Mujahideen) are living the same situation as yours, and their feeling toward you is bigger because of what you are suffering from. They live under bombardment like you by the same aircrafts, and they are losing their sons like you, praise be to Allah, and truly to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.
     .
     In this year Allah wills that the lineaments of the daybreak and the omens of relief appear, by the recession of the Zionist-Crusader expansion, for the relief is imminent and we are with you and we will never let you down, your fate is related to ours in fighting the Zionist-Crusader alliance, so either we fight until victory is achieved or we get martyrdom for the sake of Allah.
     .
     Endure and be more patient, and guard your territory by stationing army units permanently at the places from where the enemy can attack you, and fear Allah, so that you may be successful.
     .
     At last we say All praise be to Allah. Peace and Blessing be upon our prophet, and upon his family and companions.”
