Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We are witnessing our enemies gathering together to partake
in their meal. The main course features Muslims cooked in a various
assortment of ways. Isreal has been forced to show her true colors.
The real world terrorists are behaving just as they have always
behaved, killing women and children with no regard to life. Allah
has revealed to us the true nature of our enemies, who claim to
be peace-makers bombing Afghanistan and Sudan in a vicious display
of open terrorism concealed by the false claim of protecting human
life.
As a young boy growing up in an age and an era of racial harsh
racial discrimination, I have witnessed this scene played out
many times before. A group of people who will slaughter innocent
civilians, women and children, and later calling their murderous
campaign an act of desperation. These cold-blooded killers are
the very same individuals claiming self- righteousness when hit
with their own medicine.
The Muslims are needed to act upon the verses of Allah and fight
back to first defend themselves without apology. And second, fight
to establish peace through Allah's rule on earth. This is the
only solution for peace and the only treaty that should be signed
with the enemies of Allah and the Muslims, is one that allows
for the judgement of Allah, and He Ta'ala alone.
As the "Arabs" gather together to discuss the problem, the Muslims
will suffer as the African-Americans suffered when Martin Luther
King and others went into talks of peace. The Arabs are no better
than the Zionists ruling Isreal. This is not an Arab problem,
but an Islamic problem that seeks, and the so-called leaders are
as racist and evil as their cousins next door. Muslims should
not be fooled by believing that somehow the Husni Mubarak's and
Yasir Arrafat's will somehow deal a heavy blow to their enemies.
They are the enemies and they come to Muslims as only well-wishers.
For them, Allah has dedicated an entire chapter to identify and
describe them; surah is Surat ulAnfal (chapter 8).
We are all going to die and that is definate. Wouldn't be better
to die standing on your feet, than to live on your knees. FIGHT
BACK! O' MUSLIMS FIGHT BACK! Demonstrate, talk about the virtues
of jihad, incite your brothers to defend stand out for Allah,
make du'a constantly that Allah destroy these enemies, and migrate
with your property and wealth. Do not be used any more by these
kuffar. Don't give them your talents, your taxes, your hard-earned
money, your favors.
Allah helps those who help themselves.
Jazakallah Khaire.

U.S. & BRITAIN;
Supports Zionist-Isreali Terrorism
THE U.S. INVOLVEMENT WITH THE DISEASE KNOWN AS ISRAEL
Who built Isreal?
One of the seldom asked questions to the malady that exists
with the Jewish people in the Middle East is exactly who put them
there in the first place.
Everyone is familiar with their deluded aspirations and their
longing to take back the land that Allah had expelled them from
and cursed them to walk the Earth more than 2,000 years ago in
the year 70 AD.
But few understand how the people whom Allah called the worst
of creation came back and resettled a land that Allah caused to
vomit them out from.
The story of their support comes from the United States, who
is their biggest financer. When the countries of the world came
together on this issue, they decided to come to a vote on whether
or not Israel would become a state in the area that was already
being referred to as Palestine.
It is rather curious to note that this same organisation did
not put to a vote whether or not the people living in Palestine
had a right to a vote or decision regarding the land that they
were living on.
The military strongman ruling the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin,
who knew well how deceitful the Jews were, in a surprise moment
of candor, voted 'yes' for the state of Israel to exist when the
UN put it to a vote.
This came due to the fact that he was hoping that the Jews would
then pack up and leave the Soviet Union and stop infiltrating
the government posts.
The rights of the people already living there were ignored by
the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and most of the other international
gangsters who call themselves 'countries'. When the votes came,
it was found that there was a tie on whether or not Israel should
become a nation and have Palestine as their treasure.
The one who broke the tie was the United States, who voted 'yes'
to the 50 year problem that is now in front of us. When this happened,
not long after, on May 17, 1948, in front of a television audience,
David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first head of state, would announce
the 'independance' of the state of Israel.
What took place over the next several decades could not have
been imagined. In the same decade as its' birth, the fledgling
Arab states in the region attempted to drive Israel into the sea.
However, their striving for nationalism was not accepted by Allah,
so with the military help of the United States, Israel emerged
unscathed.
The same thing would take place in 1956, when a newly independant
Egypt, under the wing of the tyrant Gamal 'Abdun-Naasir, would
combine with Syria, Lebanon and other Islamic countries to try
to put a stop to Israel's land grabbing policy.
But the bickering amongst them would make the military divisions
weak and the Israelis, with US weapons given to them, again emerged
victorious. After 1956, the United Arab Coalition fell apart,
each blaming one another for the set back.
In the same year of 1956, the Suez Canal was declared independant,
when Naasir of Egypt nationalised it. In his usual grand style,
he appeared on television announcing that the Egyptians would
have their own canal and that it was theirs for the taking.
The United States, France and Britain, who benefit in a tremendous
way from the traffic that comes through the canal, responded by
attacking the country of Egypt with vicious carpet bombimg campaigns.
But right alongside of them was their loyal companion, Israel,
providing relief pilots for the bombing runs and doing selective
bombings of Bedouin settlements as well as the Islamic madrasahs.
It was Israel who hastened to the UN to put an embargo against
Egypt for having the audacity to demand that it should have dominion
over its' own land.
Over the next several years, the United States would continue
to shower its' love on the fledgling nation of Israel, with the
amount of affection swelling to the amount of 2 billion US dollars
a year (1 billion pounds) [the amount has since become more than
6 billion (4.5 billion pounds)].
This would help the country to fortify its' military, as with
each passing year, it interfered in world affairs. When the 1967
war came, triggered by Israeli attacks on areas in Syria, the
Arabs decided that things had gone to far.
They again attempted to put together a coalition, with the intent
of ending the existence of Israel. This intention was shortlived,
with Israel receiving financial and military aid from the United
States.
The war ended in 6 days, with Israel actually siezing the Sinai
Peninsula of Egypt and declaring it part of her territory. It
also stole the Gaza Strip (the birthplace of Imaam Shaafi'ii's
mother) and the Golan Heights of Syria.
Egypt and the rest of the Muslim world lived in a stupified
shame until the year 1973, when Israel yet again attacked the
soldiers who were standing guard to prevent Israeli penetration
into mainland Egypt.
During this war, it seemed that the Muslims, particularly the
Arabs, finally had the war right. The Bar Lev Line dividing the
Sinai Peninsula from the rest of Egypt which the Russians declared
invincible, was brought down in heaps of sand by Egyptian soldiers
with fire houses squirting water.
From there, half of the Arab world poured out its' wrath on
the arrogant nation of Israel. Tanks thundered throughout Tel
Aviv, Jews tore their clothes and pulled their hair in mourning,
planes soared over the once invincible Israeli skyline, shaking
the windows of the homes and their inhabitants.
Moshe Dayan appeared on television weeping, announcing that
the Arabs had finally come to deliver the second holocaust prophesied
in their corrupted book. Then from the distance it could be seen.
Faster than a speeding locamotive and more corrupt than the New
York Police Department, the United States military appeared.
Egypt was bombed mercilessly and Syria was actually deprived
its' own water in the Golan Heights. The Jews threatened, behind
the United States of course, to bomb the Aswaan High Dam in southern
Egypt and release a wall of water that would flood the Nile Valley
and kill more than 100,000 Egyptians.
The UN, who had been silent through every other war, decided
at this point to break that silence. Egypt and the other Muslims
countries were censured for their 'crass and baseless' behaviour
and told to incline towards peace.
This was never said to Israel, who illegally expropriated lands
in Uganda, with only Idi Amin, gangster and tyrant extraordinaire,
to oppose the decision.
All was roses when the Israelis were stripping the country of
Angola of its' natural resources and only Fidel Castro opposed
their savagery and sent in troops to assist the Angolans.
There was no talk of barbarity when the Jews began to devalue
the currency in South Africa and buy the radio stations with dirty
money. This was not the time for tough talk. But when a nation
like Egypt or some other Muslim land defends itself, then the
UN has to act.
The UN also remained silent in the face of Israeli war planes
bombing nuclear reactors in Iraq, a sovereign country who at the
time was on the good side of the United States (this was before
Saddam was pronounced the new brown skinned Hitler by the West).
The United Nations also looked on with stunned silence when
Israeli secret service men invaded a foreign country, Argentina,
kidnapped an Argentinian citizen, Adolph Eichmann (former Nazi
war general), took him back to Israel, tried him for war crimes
and killed him.
The world just looked on in indifference. We can narrate more
horror stories, of the secret service men of Israel invading Sweden,
murdering a man who they thought was an Arab militant, who turned
out to be a Swedish man who had never left the shores of his country.
When questioned about this, the Israeli government said that
they had 'made a mistake.' What is supposed to be said to the
family of the man. There was no recompense made, not even an apology
for this global terrorism.
The United States, in the face of all of this carnage, just
kept in line with the subsidising of global terrorism. They even
went so far as to allow Jewish congressmen and delegates in the
United States to receive money from the government of Israel (also
known as bribery), something forbidden to anyone else in the United
States.
For any other group, this would be called a federal offense,
which carries a long stay in the penetentiary for supporting world
terrorism or hostile powers who oppose world order.
Famous Jewish contributors also contribute to the Friends of
Israel Fund and other Jewish charities, and not a single person
stops them. Here are some examples,
Ted Turner (owner of Turner Broadcasting and TBN), Mike Wallace
(interviewer and famous broadcaster), Dr. Laura Schlessinger (famous
psychiatrist and die-hard Israel supporter), Dr. Ruth Westheimer
(psychiatrist),
Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Madeleine Albright, Alicia
Silverstone, Dustin Hoffman, Cindy Crawford, Gene Hackman and
Drew Barrymore.
These are just a few examples. The US has even allowed Jewish
gangsters to flourish, and in their hey day, the biggest gangsters
and criminals in America who were running money to Jewish groups
were Jews. We will narrate a few more examples,
The famous 'Lucky' Luciano, Alphonso 'Scarface' Capone, Sammy
'The Bull' Gravano, Benjamin 'Bugsy' Seigal, Dutch Scholtz not
to mention the famous Morello crime syndicate based in Louisiana.
All of these forces, known to have given their green light to
Jewish charities to help the Jews realise Israel as a state, or
those who gave their money after, helped to keep the Jewish syndicate
running.
The mere building of Las Vegas and Atlantic City New Jersey
were both Jewish ideas. Those who rise to oppose the Jewish regime
are slandered by the newspapers, also, curiously enough, owned
by the Jews.
Examples of this are the New York Times, Seattle Times, LA Times
and Seattle PI have joint ownership or are completely owned by
Hearst Publications, which is one of the oldest, and yes Jewish,
families in the United States. It just so happens they own the
advertising and newspapers that are under their tutelage.
Those who would hope to find some solace in the 6:00 PM news
quickly find CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, KTZZ 22 and many other stations
waiting for them, telling them that the Jews are entitled to an
eternity of war crimes for the sufferings that they have undergone
in Germany from the years 1934-1945.
What should be realised from all of this is that the world that
we live in is under attack. We are being intellectually colonised.
Israel becoming a state was only the start of these things.
Unfortunately, rather than become alert to the US presence behind
Israel and the moves that Israel has made to eradicate Islam from
the Middle East, Muslims have actually began to sing the slogan
of, 'Give peace a chance.'
Rather than pay attention to the newspaper article reported
by Time Magazine in 1996 that the Jews were injecting Palestinian
children with the AIDS virus, Muslims in some cases have called
the Palestinian reaction an overreaction, and that they need to
give the Jews a chance.
After all, the voices of peace reason, they have been there
since 1948, it's not possible to change things now. The Muslims
thought that of the Jews of Madinah in the time of the Prophet
(SAW) when they (the Jews) were ordered to leave, but as we know
from history, they indeed did leave.
Some of us have also even felt it necessary to 'give a helping
hand' to Israel, so we have 'spoken a good word' for peace with
Israel.
With such ease is it that we forget the verse where Allah he
tells us,
'O You who believe, do not take those outside of your religion
as advisors, consultants and protectors and for they will do their
best to damage you.
'They would love to hurt you severely. Hatred has always issued
forth from their mouths, and what their hearts conceal is much
worse and greater. Already the signs have been made clear to you
if you would only think and use your intellect.
'Here you are, you love them and they don't love you, and you
believe in all of the Book.' Surah Aali 'Imraan, ayaat 118-119
How quickly these ayaat can slip our minds when we lose sight
of our objective. It is hard to believe that someone would allow
their house to be invaded and occupied, to be relegated to the
lowest areas of the house, perhaps the cellar, and then mouth
in the same instant that we have to 'give peace a chance.'
But for the last 50 years, this is exactly what has taken place.
Any atrocity that can be attributed to Israel is somewhere in
their newspapers, chronicled for the world to see. But we keep
sitting down, rather than standing up, and not taking notice.
Read the ayah above very carefully, and then think of the statement
of Allah,
'And We have made the Qur'an easy to remember, so who will remember
it?' Surat ulQamar, ayah 40.
Should we not remember our duty and not lose sight of the objective?
Let us now focus our efforts and work on the future, a liberated
and free Islamic state in Palestine.
ISREALI-ZIONIST ARMY;
A Long History of Murder and Terrorism
PALESTINE ABLAZE WITH THE FIRE OF JIHAAD
The problem that is in front of us is not an old one. Rather,
the issue of Palestine is more than a century old. It first appeared
in the late 1880s during the time of Theodore Herzl, the first
Jew to propose the idea of a state of Israel.
Since their exile from Palestine by the Romans in 70 AD, the
Jews had been walking the Earth in shame, with their heads down
and humiliated. Their dreams during the era of Theodore Herzl
were to realise their objective in Israel.
Israel was born on May 17, 1948, curiously enough, exactly one
year after the birth of the state of Pakistan. Both states, originally
founded by people who could not speak the national language of
that land, since then have grown into modern nations.
In their growth into modern nations, both display tyranny and
wickedness to the general populous around them. Thus the only
true difference is the colour of the military uniforms for each
country's regiment.
In its' first stages, Israel was weak and dying, full of problems.
The ills of World War II had left many of the Jews that migrated
there from Europe malnutritioned.
Due to this, scurvy and other airborn diseases ran rampant.
This helped to wipe out some of the Bedouin population in the
upper areas in Tel Aviv (formerly Jaffa), for these people had
not known some of the diseases that the Jews were bringing (does
this remind anyone at all of the conquest of what is today the
United States).
The native Jews, known as the Sephardim, also suffered greatly
under Israeli occupation. Darker skinned (like Arabs) and the
majority of world Jewry in and outside of today's Israel, these
people were made to feel like second class citizens in a country
that they had lived in paying jizya years before the Westernised
European Jews (if you could even apply that to them, as most were
socialist and atheist) arrived.
The Sephardim were subjected to the same rape and terrorism
that the Arabs fell pray to for no other reason than that they
were unwanted by the new settlers to the region.
The new settlers came, not speaking a word of Hebrew, many of
them socialist, some lesbian and homosexual, with their strange
European ideas about Judaism and they expected the Sephardim to
welcome them.
What happened was the exact opposite. In the year 1956 and onwards,
the invading Jews of European extraction would find that they
not only had to contend with the Muslims who did not want them
in their country, but also other Jews, who felt that the new interlopers
were not only colonists, but not even Jews!
The practice of wearing the black striemel (a large fur hat
worn by the Russian Jews) was not known among the Sephardim, and
many of them used to mock the Jews of Europe.
In the beginning days of the state of Israel, some of the Sephardim
had signs reading vicious epithets in Hebrew stating that Hitler
should have finished them in Auschwitz.
Many other things, even the Askenazim (European Jewry) way of
understanding the Jewish texts, was seen as heretical by some
of the Rabbis of the original Jewish community in Jerusalem and
other outlying areas of Palestine.
The Sephardim also spoke Arabic, in addition to Biblical Hebrew,
not Polish, Yiddish, German or Russian, drank coffee, not tea
or wine, wore clothes akin to be Islamic/Turkish, not like Polish
noblemen, the women wore veils, not bonnets like those of Europe
and many other things that just seperated these sects far and
wide from each other.
To add to this, the Sephardim are also known to have very big
families. Something must be said of this before we move on.
The Jews of Europe, before modern times, were seen as a great
pariah by the Christian Europeans and oppressed brutally at every
turn of the way.
They were not allowed, for hundreds of years, to melt their
way into European society as they have today. Intermarriage was
seen as apostasy by the church, and many Christians indulging
in the act were murdered and killed as heretics.
Non-Jewish women who married Jewish men were seen as impure.
Many died as spinsters, since no respectful Christian would marry
a woman who had cohabited with a Jew, and some chose suicide as
the way out of their calamity.
Cultural warfare like this at one point culminated in the Jews
being sealed behind a wall in most parts of Europe until the time
of Napolean. Before the former French Emperor freed them by accident,
the Jews were separated from every single society in Europe, particularly
the Western half of the continent of Europe.
Why are we narrating all of this? It is because it leads us
to the next crime that the European Jews did to their own co-religionists,
so outrageous was it that the Sephardim still bear hatred towards
them for it.
Due to their social exile, the Jews had to marry among one another,
which resulted in what is known as 'in breeding.' Without the
ability to marry out and pump the Jewish blood supply with new
DNA, the blood ran thin.
This brought great consequences, everything from birth defects,
isolated cases of retardation and dementia, all the way to the
most long standing problem, Tay Sachs Disorder.
This horribly malady, TDD, kills the children of Jewish couples
by crowds every year. Due to all of the intermingling, the Jewish
people of European extraction have brought upon themselves another
wrath from Allah, only this time, it does not come from the hand
of a prophet, but right inside their very own bodies.
The disease works with much the same pattern as SIDS (Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome), the only difference being that SIDS is
so much more merciful, I think most of these mothers would cry
in request to have their babies taken with SIDS rather than TDD.
SIDS causes sudden death of a child in the crib, so sudden that
doctors today have still not been able to conclude whether there
are any conclusive signs before the actual death, such as pain,
lightheadedness, night sweats and so on.
With Tay Sachs, however, a slow and lingering death comes on,
with day by day the condition getting worse, to the point where
some parents have either taken the lives of the own children,
or had someone else do so to stop the pain and agony that the
infant was undergoing.
Tay Sachs works day and night on the child, and with the Jews
(as it is a disease specific to just them) it kills every child
that comes from the womb of the mother, or in some cases, leaves
a severely retarded child.
Most biology books will tell you that it is not still completely
known exactly how it works or how it is transmitted to every generation.
But what those books, and famous Rabbis (like Rabbi Bachmaeier,
Rabbi Cornfeld, Rabbi Shas) will tell you, is that European Jewish
people are advised by their doctors and religious leaders to marry
outside of their racial background, for fear of spreading what
some, like Hitler, have called the 'Jewish Cancer.'
Now let us return to the basis of the article. When the Jews
came to Palestine, Tay Sachs was a major concern. The women from
European Jewry knew that their wombs were rotten, and that sudden
death was a surety upon delivering a child from the same lineage.
The next decision was one of the most barbaric things that a
human being could do to another. The government of Israel, upon
its' military takeover of the nation, kidnapped thousands of Sephardim
women's children to be brought up in the families of European
Jews, who had wives with cursed wombs.
The children were never told why they were darker than their
parents, nor were they told why their blood types were different.
This type of 'childnapping' actually became a business and from
the 1960s-1970s, Sephardim childnapping brought a reward and started
a form of underground slavery throughout the country.
Thus it is no wonder that the famous Sephardi Rabbi, Ovadia
Yusuf, a Shaikh ulIslam like figure to the Jews, stated recently
that the European Jews who perished in Auschwitz were sinful and
were punished by God. This was his only way to vent his anger
against the abusers that came into his homeland and stole his
people.
He, being a Yemeni Jew, was well aware of the midnight lightning
raids on Sephardi villages, with the stealing of hundreds of babies
who would be told that they were either the natural children of
European Jewish parentage, or adopted children and their parents
had died in one of the many wars with the Arabs.
The war between the two Jewish sects continues, as the Sephardim,
who control the religous sector of Israel, battle with the secularised
Ashkenazim, who control only the government and civil areas of
Israel.
The country, with only 42% of the entire population nominally
Jewish is on the brink of civil war, with the religious spearheads
of Judaism set to take on the other more secular parts of the
country.
The damage done to the Muslim sector could be spoken of for
the next 100 years on top of the damage already done. Let us first
focus on the Islamic artifacts that were lost.
In the takeover of Israel, the Shari'a courts were dismantled,
so let us narrate to you some of the atrocities of the end of
the Palestinian Islamic state.
First, the Shari'a courts in Jaffa (now Tel Aviv), Ramallah,
Gaza (where Imaam Shaafi'ii's mother's family hails from), 'Asqalaan
(where Imaam Ibn Hajar's mother's side of the family comes from),
Deir Yassin and many other places in Palestine were dismantled
and the Ulama killed in cold blood.
The trees of Islam in Palestine were savagely pulled out by
the roots and the Muslims payed the ultimate price. Where are
the Shari'a courts of Jericho today? Who is the Mufti of Palestine?
Where are the Shari'a courts of Jaffa? All of these places now
occupy an area in history known as oblivion and only the historians,
old people who look back with nostalgia and the Ulama remember
the time when Shari'a courts passed fataawa in Palestine.
One of the most memorable Fataawa was the one that they passed
regarding the kufr of leaving the land of Palestine to any of
the Jews, or to just abandon it in any way, shape or form.
Their words stare at us from the paper and our eyes burn, as
they well up with tears, the tears dropping and smudging the ink
that they wrote on the paper, effectively signing their own death
certificates in front of the Israeli government on issuing such
statements.
Today we look at the land, and we see that we are very easily
able to forget that this entire area used to be part of an Islamic
state, it had courts of Shari'a, muftis, scholars of tafsir, fiqh
and colleges for learning the sciences of Islam.
It is so easy for us to forget that this was the land where
so many prophets have walked. The land that the prophet 'Isa (Jesus)
(AS) set foot upon and preached on. Many prophets of old gave
their great proclamations and spoke.
Oh how we marvel now at the transvestites and transsexuals who
walk these same areas now. The amazing and incredulous boldness
of the homosexual and lesbian prostitutes who go about their way
in the lands of the prophets dumbfounds the Muslims immediately..
The beaches, where the prophets used to contemplate at before
warning immoral people of the impending punishment of Allah have
now become a rest stop for fornication and all the evil portents
that accompany it. This new phenomenon is more popularly known
as the nude beach.
The adhaan that used to ring out over every city centre in town
now has an almost hollow sound, as it rings out in only a few
places, and as the people, who are living in a state of Daar alKufr
listen, it has an almost surreal effect.
Years before, the place was known for its' Islam, now a land
where the prophets are buried is termed Daar alKufr. The shame
is so much that it is at once earth-shattering.
The most recent attacks only serve to explain and reinforce
this drama. The Jews, an aggressor, smaller in number, but armed
by bigger bullies, brutally pounding the larger, but poorly equipped
Muslims.
There is not much that we can say that they have not done in
that land to the Muslims. If you say that they haven't raped women,
we can bring families who have suffered first hand.
If you say that they have not slandered the Qur'an, we can bring
you the occasions when they have, on occasion declaring that Muhammad
(SAW) was a bastard child.
If the objection was raised that they have not violated the
Islamic holy sites, this can be dashed to the ground, simply by
observing a 1967 picture of Jerusalem, where the Jews stormed
the Masjid of Al Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock, complete with
the flags of Israel later being hoisted above the Dome and al
Aqsa.
Let us not forget the rampage of Baruch Goldstein in 1982, when
he opened fire inside of a masjid full of Muslims, which left
some dead and many wounded.
Let us not forget the attempted bombing of Al Aqsa and the Dome
of the Rock in 1988, an attempt by an ultra-extremist Jewish group
to demolish the site so that they might build their third temple.
The path forward has never been to sit down at the table with
these people, for if they would not and could not be seated with
the Prophet (SAW) in a suitable manner, what makes us think that
we could make such a difference as to change the heart of a people
who demanded that they should see Allah face to face before believing?
We should not turn a blind eye to the words of Allah, when He
said to us in the last revelation given to mankind,
'Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor
do they make haraam (forbidden) what Allah and His Messenger has
made haraam, nor do they judge to the true religion from those
who were given the Book,
until they give you the jizya (a tax taken from Jews and Christians
by the Muslims) and they are humiliated, disgraced and low,' Surat
ut-Tawba, ayah 29.
Perhaps we should take this verse, photocopy it, put it on the
wall of our home, so that it is the first thing that we see when
we enter our homes, so that perhaps we might examine and reflect
on the pressing need that is in front of us.
And until that need is met, that verse is not fully implemented
and its' reality has not been met. And may Allah give us all the
strength to carry out His benevolent, just and honourable way.
TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING;
Surat-ul-Baqarah 166 & 167
Baqarah 166/167 are for warning and not for making judgement,
because Allah has already made the judgement. In these ayats,
Allah provides us with the news of what will happen on judgement
day. When you refer to the previous 165, you will see the ayat
speaks about those who take as rivals unto Allah, loving them
more or equal to Allah. Then Baqarah 166/167 will be their punishment.
Not one single scholar, known of Ahul-Sunnah have used these
three ayats to make specific takfir for an individual or group
from among the ummah. When Imam Qurtabi and others mentioned this
ayat is general and said it could be used for anyone, it is meant
as a warning, because Allah has used them as a warning to tell
us the fate of these type of people. By no means can this ayat
be used against specific person or group to call them a kafir.
General to warn, not general to takfir. The words scholar, students
and sheikh have never been used in context with this ayat.
ACCUSING CHASTE WOMEN;
A Serious Danger
Bismillah
"For every news there is a reality and you will come to know".
Surah Al-An`am(6) verse 67 So let us not forget that for everything
there is an appointed time, and for every deed there is a recompense!
"And our lord is the only knower of the giuded or misguided
ones as He Himself testified to saying; Verily your Lord! It is
He who knows best who strays from his way,and he knows best the
rightly guided ones!" Surah Al-An`am(6) verse 117
"Let us take the advice of our merciful Lord: "O you who believe!
Follow not the footsteps of Shaitan. And whosoever follows the
footsteps of Shaitan then verily he commands Al- Fahsha [i.e.
to commit indecency (illegal sexual intercourse)],and Al-Munker
[disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; and
to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islam)]. And had it not
been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you, not one of you
would ever have been pure from sins. But Allah purifies (guides
to Islam) whom He wills, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower."
Surah An-Noor(24)Verse 21.
InshAllah this short message will serve as a reminder to the
believers, "And remind (by preaching the Qur`an, "O Muhammad(saw),
for verily, the reminding profits the believers". Surah Adh-Dhariyat(51)
Verse55.
And to make us of those who keep to speech which is based on
clear evidence, "And those who stand firm in their testimonies".
SurahAl-M`arij(70) Verse 33.
A reminder to stay away from slander and false accusations.
Because slander and making false accusations is a major sin as
mentioned in a hadith from Imam Bukhari (RH). Allah (SWT) has
promised the slanderer of Believers a painful torment. "Those
who defame such of the believers who give charity (in Allah's
cause) except what is available to them, so they (munafiqeen)
mock at them (believers); Allah will throw back their mockery
on them, and they shall have a painful torment." Surah At-Tawba(9)
Verse 79.
So the slandrers have been promised a painful torment and Allah
has in the verses leading to this verse made it very clear to
us that slandering the believers is a trait of the hypocrites
may Allah (SWT) protect us from this, Ameen. But only Allah (SWT)
knows the true state of a persons heart.
To slander a male muslim is more sinful than marring ones own
mother! The Prophet (SAW) said "usary has 73 catogarys, the least
one in sin is that of a man who marries his mother, and the very
essence of usary is the violation of the honour of a male muslim",
Al-Hakam Sahih. So if this is the level of sin involved in slandering
a muslim man before Allah (SWT) then what of accusing believing
women?
"And those who accuse chaste women and produce not four witnesses,
flog them with eighty lashes, and reject their testimony forever".
Surah An-Noor(24) verse 4. This flogging also applies to the liar
and the rejection of testimony will be for those who insist on
their accusation, so much so that Allah (SWT) promised them more
punishment in the hearafter.
"Verily, those who accuse chaste woman who never even think
of anything touching their chastity and are good believers-are
cursed in this life and in the hearafter, and for them will be
a great torment" Surah An-Noor(24)Verse23.
Have those who comit this crime not considered the humiliation
their own bodies will cause them? "On the Day when their tongues,
their hands, and their legs (or feet) will bear witness against
them as to what they used to do". Surah An-Noor(24) verse 24
Allah (SWT) will not let a single statement of theirs go without
its true judgement, "On that Day Allah will pay them the recompense
of their deeds in full, and they will know that Allah, He is the
Manifest Truth. Surah An-Noor(24) Verse 25. And what does the
curse of Allah mean except entering the Fire?!
Which of "...the best of stories..." Surah Yusuf(12) verse 3,
do we refer to in order to learn the manners of dealing with accusations,
rejection of accusations, slander and the rejection of slander?
We must refer to no other example of this except that of Aishah(ra)
beloved wife of our beloved prophet Muhammad (SAW), the beloved
slave and messenger of Allah (SWT). Aishah (RA) was the daughter
of our most truthful, Abu Baker As-Sadeeq. Here we find the mother
of the believers having accusations made against her started by
the Hypocrites of Madina.
Let us read the story of Aishah(ra) adapted from the pages of
Bukhari. This incident was so serious that Allah (SWT) revealed
Ayahs 11-12 of Surah An-Noor(24). To clear Aishah(ra) of these
evil and criminal accusations, to be recited the world over until
the Day of Judgement!
Where did this evil slander begin?
It was because the Prophet (SAW) was on a Ghazwa and so chose
(through lots) Aishah (RA) to go with him. The Prophet (SAW) ordered
the Army to start traveling back to Medina at night. Aishah (RA)
needed to go to the hamam, so she (RA) went without informing
anybody where she was going. When she had finished using the toilet,
she went back to her howdah (small box on camels back), but as
she returned she noticed her necklace was broken and so she was
left behind looking for it. The group who used to carry her howdah
didn`t notice she wasn`t in it because she was young and light
in body weight. When she found the necklace, she waited so that
the camp may come back to find her. While she was waiting she
fell asleep.
Now in the time of the Prophet (SAW) following behind every
army was usually a young man to pick up any items that may have
been dropped or left behind. On this ghazwa that job was given
to Safwan bin Al-Mu`attil As-Sulami Aththakwari( RA). He had started
following in the last part of the night. So that by the time he
had arrived at Aishah (RA) sleeping place it was morning. He recognised
Aishah(ra) (not because of no hijab i.e. face uncovered), because
he had known her before the revelation of Hijab. Aishah (RA) woke
up only because she heard Safwan (RA) saying "Truly to Allah we
belong and truly to him shall we return" Surah Baqarah(2) verse156,
these words were the only words spoken between the two.
Safwan (RA) made his camel kneel, Aishah (RA) climbed on and
they both went towards Medina, he (RA) walking, she (RA)on the
camel back riding. They both caught up with the army whilst it
was resting during the hot midday. Then the Hypocrites -- leaders
Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was the leader of the Ifk (the forged
statement). For one month whilst these lies were being spread
Aishah (RA) was ill so she wasn't mixing much with people and
didn`t know of the rumours. When Aisha (RA) first heard of the
rumour she (RA) fainted. The rumour being that she had committed
Zina with Safwan (RA) who was to later die as shaheed. This same
young man (ra) on being informed of this rumour declared that
he was a virgin!
Even an ordinary woman (RA) of the Ansar went into the apartment
of Aishah(RA) sat next to her and they both cried, pained by the
false accusation. It was whilst in this state that the Prophet
(SAW) who was also affected by these rumours, to the extent he
(SAW) didn`t sit in the company of Aisha(ra) for the duration
of the forged statement except to remind Aishah (RA) to be aware
that if you are innocent Allah (SWT) will prove it if guilty seek
forgiveness, to which even Aishah`s (RA) parents Abu Baker As-sadeeq
and Um Ruman(RA) couldn`t repay.
Before the Prophet(SAW) went to Aishah (RA) with these inquires,
the Prophet (SAW) asked many close and trustworthy companions
their opinion on the whole matter. Wanting their opinion as to
the idea of divorce! These companions being Ali ibn Abi Talib
and Usama bin Zaid [(both promised Jannah by (Saw)]. Usama bin
Zaid was of the opinoin that nothing bad was known of her (RA).
Ali ibn Abi Talib was of the opinion, that there were plenty of
women other then her (RA), and instructed the Prophet(SAW) to
ask Aishah`s (RA) maid servant for a character reference. When
the Prophet(SAW) asked the maidservant Barira, who only spoke
good of Aishah (RA). The same good character reference was given
by Zainab bint Jahsh one of the Prophet`s (SAW) wives.
The Prophet (SAW) then having had his inclinations towards the
good of Aishah (RA) confirmed. Then ascended the pulpit and asked
from amongst the muslims who would help him in punishing Abdullah
bin Ubai bin Salul [(the most famous hypocrite of Islamic history,
this mans orignal problem with the Prophet(SAW) was that he would
have been the leader of Al-Madina had the Prophet(SAW) not arrived)]
a man who had hurt him by slandering his (SAW) family. S`aid bin
Mu`adh (Al-Aus) got up and said `O Allah`s Apostle! By Allah,
I will relieve you from him. If that man is from the tribe of
Al-Aus or from our brothers Al-khazraj (a rival tribe in Al-Madina)
then order us we will obey`.
Then Sa`d bin `Ubada the chief of the Al-Khazraj who before
this was known as being pious got up motivated by triblism, `By
Allah, you have told a lie, you cannot and will not be able to
kill him! Then Usaid bin Al-Hadir got up and said to (Sa`d bin
U`bada) By Allah! You are a liar. By Allah, we will kill him;
and you are a hypocrite, defending the hypocrites`. This almost
caused a war between the two tribes.
The prophet(saw) got down from the pulpit and quieted them untill
they became silent and he(saw) kept silent. So we see here that
a civil war between the Sahaaba was narrowly avoided. After a
total of one month the verse came:
"Verily those who brought forth the slander [(Ifk, forged statement),
(against Aisha(RA)], the wife of the Prophet(SAW) are a group
among you. Consider it not a bad thing for you. Nay, it is good
for you. Unto every man among them will be paid that which he
had earned of the sin, and as for him among them who had the greater
share therein, his will be a great torment". Surah An-Noor(24)verse
11. This verse declared Aisha to be innocent of their (hypocrites)
evil claim.
One woman accused of adultary without witnesses and the believers
were told that there belief would be in question if they should
do it again, against a mother of the believers.
"Allah forbids you from it and warns you not to repeat the like
of it forever, if you are believers". Surah An-Noor(24)Verse17
The propagation of an accusation even without knowledge of its
origin is great thing in the sight of Allah (SWT):
"When you were propagating it with your tongues, and uttering
with your mouths that whereof you had no knowlegde, you counted
it a little thing, while with Allah it was very great". An-Noor(24)
15.
So then what of somebody who who slanders a whole community
of believing women! "On that Day when their tongues, their hands,
and their legs (or feet) will bear witness against them as to
what they used to do." Surah An-Noor(24)verse24
"On that day Allah will pay them the recompense of their deeds
in full, and they will know that Allah, he is the manifest Truth."
Surah An-Noor(24)verse 25 So those who slander should fear the
words of the prophet(saw) to be placed in the fire untill they
prove their innocence, and their is no proving and disproving
of anything after the Day of Accounting.
So we say to the believers to fear Allah (SWT) and keep their
duty to him. Whosoever obeys Allah and His messenger(SAW), fears
Allah, and keeps his duty (to him), such are the succesful. Surah
An-Noor(24)verse 52
And our women should learn this Surah and take a lesson from
this event involving our beloved mother Aisha(ra), that believing
women should be warey of doing actions that will attract slander
and false accusations. Such as going to places without Mahram.
Believing women should not underestimate their value in the muslim
community, or indeed to their families.
But most of all anyone who accuses one Muslim woman, or even
more so to accuse an entire masjid and community of women of zinner
should fear Allah and the punishment based on such a heavy crime
in Islam. And those who agree with this person should take warning,
repent, then run away or attack such a person until the statement
is either withdrawn or the punishment has been completed.
As for the women who were slandered on a tape entitled, "Devil's
Deception of the Murji", we see you as only pious women and we
assure you that Allah is All-Knowing, All-Seeing, and the Best
of Judges. And we will not rest until those tapes have been destroyed
and the statements made against you have been corrected. May Allah
forgive those who have heard these slanders and did nothing out
of ignorance. Ameen.
MUSHRAF FEARS DEATH;
Bomb Scare In The U.S.
General Pervez Musharraf, the head of Pakistan through a bloodless
coup, was aboard a plane that was forced down due to a bomb threat.
The plane, originally bound for Karachi via Manchester, was
carrying a total of 121 passengers and left from New York's John
F. Kennedy airport.
Every since the Egypt Air disaster, every tyrannical ruler has
had one hand on his bottle of brandy and the other one clutching
the Qur'an.
The brandy, for if the flight lands, and the Qur'an for death
bed repentace if complications should result. But the evil apostate
rulers over our Muslim countries will not escape.
No matter how sly they are, how keen they think they may be,
there will be no running from an accounting to Allah. The grounding
of the plane must have brought back memories for Mr. Musharraf,
who was nearly killed by Nawaz Sharif when the plane that he was
a passenger on was restricted from landing at the airstrip in
Pakistan.
After the communication tower disobeyed orders and allowed the
plane to land, Musharraf scraped the government and the country
became a classic timocracy, which some political scientists have
hailed as 'The New Syria in Asia.' And with his strong arm tactics
and his hatred for the Mujaahidin, Musharraf will fit quite nicely
in our tyrant series next to this other brothers in oppression.
CURSED
IN THE DUNYIA;
What Is It For?
We will be adding this
article shortly... Thank you for your patience.
CHRISTIAN FANATICS RISE;
The Reawakening of Christian Intolerance
For those from among the Ummah who were exempted from the carnage
of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosova, rampaging Buddhists in Burma, bloodthirsty
Hindus in India and the battle in Chechnya, we have news for you.
No longer can you feel safe, having been spared the warfare
that is occuring between the Copts and the Muslims in Egypt, the
Maronite Christians and the Muslims in Lebanon, the Marcianite
Christians and the Muslims in Lebanon, the Muslims and the Greek
Orthodox in Greece, the Muslims and the Russian Orthodox in Russia
and the republics as well as Muslims against the Spanish Catholics
in Argentina.
You can no longer bury your head in the sand. Now the war has
been brought to you directly as well as globally. And you have
the Christian clergy to thank for such a bold and decisive move.
On Jamada alAkhira 16, 1421 (September 15, 2000), Cardinal Giacomo
Biffi remarked that 'Christian Europe' was in danger of an an
impending 'Muslims invasion' if they did not act promptly and
with decisiveness.
The remarks of the Cardinal come due to the increase in the
number of Muslims as well as masaajid in Italy. The rise of Islam
in Italy especially comes as an alarming thing after the construction
of one of the largest Masjids in Europe in the city of Rome, the
heart and soul of world Christendom.
It was no more than 60 years ago, that during the reign of Adolph
Hitler, that the then pope, Pius VI declared National Socialism
'biblically sound and infallible' and ordered the Muslims who
were residing in Italy driven from the location.
From there, they were funneled into Europe and other places,
where some 12 million Muslims would be counted among the 55 million
dead at the end of WWII.
But now the Muslims are back in Europe, and Italy in particular,
which is what angers Christian clergy, such as Biffi, the most.
This is why the cleric thought it prudent to act fast. He has
made it very clear that he does not want Islam in Italy, nor anywhere
else in Europe.
This was understood without any ambiguity when he urged the
Italian goverment to allow only Roman Catholic immigrants into
the country and that 'there should be no more entry visas for
the Muslims.'
Cardinal Biffi, also the Archbishop of Bologna, felt it imperatvie
to warn the ministers in the Italian government that, 'If you
want to do the best thing for Italy and save it a lot of suffering,
you must stop letting all these immigrants in. You must favour
Catholic immigrants.'
This type of rhetoric is known to the Muslims of course. But
the type of people to actually strive to implement it is rare.
And unfortunately for the Muslims in Italy, the 72 year old bigoted
Archbishop is one of those rare cases.
A very devout man, and one who is content with a spartan existence,
Biffi belongs to the very conservative right in the Roman Catholic
political establishment, and would like a return to the days of
old, when Europe was 'pure' from the 'Muslim menace'.
His hearkening back to the days of a Muslim-free Italy was heard
when he remarked in his same speech, 'Muslims do not integrate
into Italian society.' Such familiar speech.
Was this not the same words of the Patriarch of Spain, Tomas
de Torquemada, the confessor of Lady Isabella, the Queen of Spain,
when he proclaimed, 'Muslims do not integrate into Spanish society.'
For those that have forgotten, we would like to remind you that
Senor Torquemada is the mastermind behind the Spanish Inquisition,
a tribunal that began as a witchhunt for Muslims in Spain, and
then later ballooned to become a global battle against 'heretics'.
Children, women, Muslims in general and other sects were all
made to feel 'the power of the Lord' under Mr. Torquemada. And
from all of this, the Inquisition lasted a total of 400 years,
the last case being on July 27, 1826, when a Muslim schoolteacher
was kidnapped from her class of students and murdered as a heretic.
And all of this horror started from just that statement of the
world's most infamous priest (who also had a Jewish grandmother,
which explains his hatred for Islam). Now we have another seeker
for the 'glory of Christ,' just as pious as his diabolical predecessor.
Long concerned with issues at home and abroad, Biffi concerns
himself with the soul of the Christians and has been outspoken
about the role of the church in the life of everyday Christians.
He is particularly alarmed about the number of Christians that
have left off their services and are no longer as pious as they
once were. This deterioration in Christian society, along with
the demotion of religion in personal life, has moved Mr. Biffi
to action.
The Archbishop considers himself at war with Islam and in a
recorded interview stated that there was a struggle for the soul
of Europe, and that the landmass would either rediscover its'
Christian heritage, or convert to Islam.
Conversion to Islam would be seen as a disaster by the priest,
who is working day and night to try to halt the growth of Islam.
Archbishop Biffi, along with many others in the Catholic heirarchy,
has been dissatified with the way that the society of the Christian
world has been heading and are hungry for change.
This change, they are not afraid to admit, could result in warfare.
They are also unrepentant and even willing to collide with their
more liberal rivals in the Catholic faith.
One of their arch-rivals, Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, 72 and
the Archbishop of Milan did not approve of the recent statements
that were made by Biffi. This is especially telling, due to the
fact that both Biffi and Martini are the next contenders set for
the papacy.
Another one of the liberal establishment, Archbishop Francesco
Gioia, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerants,
tried to downplay Biffi as 'provocative' and just blowing off
steam.
Battles between the two church influences have left world Christendom
exhausted and without direction. The most damaging areas of the
war have been the recent acceptance of women into the priesthood,
the acceptance of Darwinism as a viable belief, abortion as acceptable,
homosexuals as the brothers of the church, same-sex marriages
and most recently, the failure of Jesus to appear at exactly 11:59:59
on December 31, 1999, which thwarted thousands of supposed biblical
prophesies and relegated the book to nothing but a prop to hold
up an uneven and deteriorating structure.
These are the most damaging things that have hit Christianity.
The liberal papal leadership has also been blasted by Biffi as
being ineffective and out of touch on important issues. The failure
of the papacy to hasten on the conversion of Muslim immigrants
who turn to Christian charities for help disgusts and disgruntles
Biffi, who remarked, 'Christ called us to preach the faith to
everybody.'
His contempt for the new innovations in Church tradition was
evident when asked about women priests, he replied,
'It is like having pizza and Coke at the Eucharist instead of
bread and wine.'
Thus, his dedication to Christianity has been proven beyond
doubt. Roman Catholics make up the bulk of Christianity, and for
those who have lived with Latino people or been to a Latin American
country, it is still strong among the people in South, Central
and certain parts of North America.
Their attempts to silence Islam have been infamous, everything
from fanning rumours that Muhammad was a renegade Arian priest
from the Nestorian church, all the way to mistranslating the entire
Qur'an and proclaiming that Muhammad (SAW) called people to worship
him.
The Pope in recent years has tried to make overtures towards
the Muslim world, with his trip in 1995 to Morocco and his much
televised trip to Egypt recently (the Coptic Christians still
don't fully recognise the Roman Church, and the head of the Copts,
Pope Shanouda, still maintains that he himself is God alone).
The Roman Catholics, the bulk of Christendom, are the same people
who attacked Muslims in masse in the year 1095, when Pope Urban
II called for a war of the cross to rid the holy land of the 'Muslim
menace.'
The Roman Catholics, the bulk of Christendom, are the same people
who began and funded the Spanish Inquisition, which lasted until
1826, in Virginia where it finally ended.
The Roman Catholics, the bulk of Christendom, are the same people
who funded Hitler and Mussolini, proclaimed both National Socialism
and Fascism 'biblically infallible ' and supervised the destruction
of a large number of Muslims.
The Roman Catholics, the bulk of Christendom, are the same people
who began the Crusades in 1095 and ended them 250 years later,
only to begin them again recently.
None of this should surpise us, as Allah has warned us that
these evil people will stop at nothing to denounce Allah and the
people of Allah. Aren't these people the same ones, who Allah
said of,
'Already they have become kuffar, those who say, "Allah is the
third of three in a trinity,'" Surat ulMa'ida, ayah 73.
as well as where Allah said,
'Already, they have become kuffar, those who say, "Allah, He
is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Jesus),'" Surat ulMa'ida, ayaat
17 and 72.
We are dealing with a people who will stop at nothing to realise
their objective. They have done everything from killing prophets,
all the way to tampering with their scriptures, as Allah has said,
'Woe be to those who write the book with their own hands, then
they say, This is from Allah, for they earn from it a miserable
price.
'Woe be to them from what they wrote with their hands and woe
be to them from what they earned,' Surat ulBaqara, ayah 79,
These type of people have to be watched, and the Muslims should
be alert. Now you can no longer try to feign ignorance of world
events. The largest and most lethal sect in Christendom is again
bearing its' teeth, with its' eyes set on the jugular vein of
Islam.
This should be kept in mind, especially with the last statement
of Archbishop Biffi, when asked if he was conducting a new Crusade,
he replied with the most smiling face, "I have never had anything
against the word 'Crusade' personally."
THE QUR'AN VERIFIED;
The Peninsula Unsanctified
The times that we are living in are indeed exciting ones. We
have seen so many prophecies of the Qur'an and the Sunna revealed,
in addition to the accounts in the Qur'an and the Sunna being
verified by some areas in science.
In addition to all of this, we have also seen time after time
signs of the hour that have been prophesied by the Qur'an and
the Sunna pass before our eyes with blinding speed, everything
from the discovery of smaller components besides atoms all the
way to the discovery that iron is an extra terrestrial mineral
bestowed on us from above this Earth by the Benificent Lord of
all creation, Allah.
Now come what could very well be a two fold combination of prophecy
as well as confirmation. We need to state from the outset that
the Qur'an needs no confirmation from human sources, as Allah
(SWT) says,
'In honourable, exalted pages, purified from all error, by the
hands of pious scribes,' Surah 'Abasa, ayaat 13-16.
And Allah says further of His revelation,
'HaMim. Revelation sent down from the Most Merciful, the Most
Compassionate. A book, explained in detail by its' signs and ayaat,
an Arabic Qur'an for a people who know,' Surah HaMim as-Sajdah,
ayaat 1-3.
But there are times when Allah will show us signs confirming
the truth of His revelation. And these signs are sometimes brought
forth in the most bold and amazing way, sometimes from the most
far off locations, and sometimes in our very own selves, as He
(SWT) has rightly told us,
'We will show them our signs on the horizons and in themselves
until it is made clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not
sufficient that your Lord is a witness over evey thing?' Surat
ush-Shura, ayah 54.
Thus Allah is the witness over all things and He knows all things.
It also brings us to the exciting thing that Allah has given us
to consider. Recently, in northern Yemen, a 3,000 year old temple
was unearthed, which is located in the ancient city of Marib.
Being hailed by some archaeologists as the 'eighth wonder of
the world,' the discovery is seen by some historians to perhaps
solve one of the most debated issues that they have ever discussed
regarding this area of the world. And that issue is the mystery
of the whereabouts of the Kingdom of the Queen Bilqis of Saba.
The Mahram Bilqis temple, at first believed to have been built
in the year 400 BC, 500 years after the reign of the Queen, is
now being reconsidered due to new discoveries.
After observing the most recent evidence, it has been proven
that the temple, the oldest pagan sanctuary in Arabia, was in
existence as early as 1500 BC, and was in use up until the 500's
BC. This dating would also put forward that it was an early site
of pilgrimage during Queen Bilqis's reign.
Another issue that archaeologists were particularly pleased
about was that the findings finally put to rest the debate about
whether the Queen was based in Ethiopia (as the Bible and the
Biblical scholars point to) or Yemen (as the Islamic scholars
of history and tafsir testify, due to the fact that it is referred
to as Saba in the Qur'an).
Again, we can say, the Bible has been defrocked by Allah and
by history as a hoax and historically without basis. One archaeologist,
Bill Glanzman, the professor of Archaeology at Calgary University
beamed proudly,
'If we believe the historical associations, then almost certainly
she would have been inside of this sanctuary.'
Thus Allah is giving us another sign of the truth of His book,
in particular the story of Bilqis mentioned in Surat un-Naml,
ayaat 22-44 and Surah Saba', ayaat 15-21 of the Qur'an.
Time after time these amazing discoveries come upon us. Before
this one, it was the discovery that the city of Iraam, cited in
the Qur'an in Surat ulFajr, ayah 7 (please see the National Geographic
Year 1979 issues for more details) actually existed and was a
trade city supplied by the metropolis of Ebla.
However, in light of all of this great news regarding new insight
into the Qur'an, there is also the terrible news that due to these
findings, there will now be more kuffar than ever rummaging around
the Peninsula and trying to salvage artifacts.
This area is seen by the Yemeni government to be another great
site for tourism just as Giza is for the land of Egypt.
Now on the holy lands, where Ibrahim, Muhammad, Isma'il, Hajar
and all the other great souls that walked that landmass where
based, the kuffar and those of evil have staked a claim, and they
are using Yemen as a back door to pitch their tents in preparation
for further colonisation.
We should learn our lesson from history and also heed the words
of the Prophet (SAW) when he said,
'No two religions should be found in the Arabian Peninsula,'
'Throw out the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula,'
see Sahih ulJaami'a, classified as sahih.
The only way to fix the damage that we have done is to repent
sincerely to Allah (SWT) and to push the invaders from our lands.
Only then will they be purified and will they be safe from the
filthy and blood soaked hands of the descendants of the Prophet-killers
and the corrupters of the scriptures of Allah.
And may Allah give us the will to carry out our responsibilities
and to purify the lands of Islam from filth. And may He use the
good in the finding of this confirmation of the news of the Qur'an
to help us to act on its' orders. And may Allah give all of us
success. Amin.
BIOGRPAPHY AND PROFILE;
Imaam Muhy Ud-Din Yahya An-Nawawi
The great 'aalim, known by his full name, alImaam, alHaafiz,
Shaikh ulIslam, Muhyi ud-Din Abu Zakariyyah Yahya ibn Sharaf ibn
Mari ash-Shaafi'ii.
This great scholar has left behind many a collection, most of
which we still continue to benefit from today, in the way of his
extreme insight and acuity.
His life was filled with greatness and the events that surround
his life are enough to take two lifetimes for the ordinary person.
The great imaam, Yahya, was born in the town of Nawaa, near
the city of Dimashq (Damascus) on Muharram in the year 631 AH
(1234 AD). He was there for a period of time, and then in year
641 AH (1243 AD), he had moved and was living with his family
in Rawaajiyah.
While there, he was enrolled in a school and was memorising
the Qur'an, as well as being tested in competency by his Shaikh,
the great 'aalim alKamaal ibn Ahmad. His love for knowledge was
seen and his dominance in the Shaafi'ii madhhab was clear.
Not long after, his father took him to hajj with him and as
a young man, the young student Yahya was to be a very apt and
studious pupil, as well as being pious.
He would stay in Madinah for a month and a half, but would find
himself sick most of the journey (air conditioning and all the
things that people take for granted on hajj today weren't in existence).
He continued on, however, studying frequently and refusing to
give up hope even with his sickness. His dedication was known
and he always stuck by his teachings.
He learned, in his tenure, from the way of Shaikh Ahmad alMasri.
He also learned his hadith and other literature from Shaikh 'Abdul
'Aziz ibn Muhammad alAnsaari, Zayn ud-Din ibn 'Abd ud-Daa'im.
He was also under the tutelage of Shaikh 'Imaad ud-Din 'Abdul
Karim alKhasrati, Zain ud-Din ibn Khalaf ibn Yusuf, Taqi ud-Din
ibn Abil Yasar, Jamaal ud-Din and many others whose names fill
the pages of the righteous scholars of Ahl us-Sunna walJama'ah.
It was during this time that he would sit and learn the proper
ways of understanding fiqh and hadith by pouring over the pages
of the Muwatta of Imaam Maalik, Sharh us-Sunna by Imaam alBaghaawi
and the Sunna of ad-Daaru Qutni.
These writings help to solidify his knowledge and to make him
well versed in the knowledge and principles of Shaafi'ii fiqh.
His writings include his Sharh of Sahih Muslim, Riyaad us-Saalihin,
alAdhkaar, alArshaad, alFataawa and many other works to his credit.
His most famous work is his forty hadith collection, originally
an assignment given to him by one of his teachers.
In his life, he saw the disastrous entrance of the Tatars into
the Muslim world, and the Shari'a to be picked over like a plate
of food.
But unlike many scholars of today, who live off of Islam like
a leech, he struggled and spoke out against them. He gave as much
support as he could to the believers against them.
He was contemporary and helped the likes of Imaam Ibn Kathir,
Shaikh ulIslam Ibn Taymiyyah, al 'Allamah Ibn Rajab alHanbali,
Shaikh ulHadith Ibn Hajar al'Asqalaani (RHM) and many others who
rose the banner of tawhid against the practices and excesses of
the barbarous Tatars.
Never once did the thought arise in their head of laying down
their weapons. No, not ever. This thought would not have survived
for long with these men. They continued on in the way of Islam,
teaching, reforming, writing, reading, and if need be the case,
going to war and fighting for the principle.
His path of enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong even
moved him to write a letter of correction to the head of Syria
during that time, explaining the dire circumstances of the people
and telling him of what is expected of him as a head of state.
Ever faithful to the call of tawhid and willing to sacrifice
his life to preserve it, Imaam an-Nawawi had a life that was everything
but dull, and his message lived on with his students, one of whom
was Shaikh Ibn 'Attaar.
His achievements and hard work are still enjoyed today in the
books that we read from him and the fataawa that he has left us.
His preservation of the Islamic knowledge is one of the strongest
examples of the benefit of knowledge on someone.
This is at odds today, with those who have picked up the wooden
sword and just yell at the podium and call to nothing but their
own desires and constructing a cult of worshippers rather than
students.
The great 'aalim would return to his birthplace, and would take
ill not long after. Although consistently ill throughout his life
after his return from hajj, he always managed to have the energy
to continue on. He never complained to anyone of any pain or the
like. He died in 696 AH (1297 AD). May Allah have mercy on him.

FINAL
NOTE
What Do We Want?
this publication is not aimed at separating or causing too much
debate among sincere Muslims. Without news from truthful sources,
the only alternative is to take from our enemies; those who enjoin
falsehood and forbid truth. Insha'llah, our aim is to provide Islamic
education, news, and discussion to incite the believers into action.
We are working toward the sincereeducation of Muslims, while continuing
to learn and champion the way of the Prophet (saw) and those Rightly
Guided (ra).
How can you help?
by telling others about this website and helping to distribute
this information. Encourge Muslims to ask questions and participate
on our discussion board. In addition, be patient with us when
we are revising and preparing new content. Get the word out in
your community that we are not funded by anyone other than Allah
-- alhumdulillah. Thus, our opinions come from our understanding
of the opinions of the Siddiqun, not from government scholars,
evil rulers, and kuffar.
Finally, make continious du'a for the mujahidin and the ummah
that Allah grant all of us victory and reward.
