H-Net* The Battle of Hitteen Ramadhan 1187 A.D.

[Asiah Abdullah]

The Battle of Hitteen Ramadhan 1187 A.D.
Glory to Allah (swt) who blessed mankind with the month of Ramadhan and its blessings, and Who raises among His slaves a servant like Salahuddin whofreed the Holy Place of Masjid al-Aqsa from the Crusaders in the sanctified month of Ramadhan, in the year 1187 AD.
This article does not intend to narrate the history of Salahuddin, rather it will deal with three specific points.
1) The Condition of the Ummah Before the Battle:
The state which is supposed to run the Wilayat (provinces) was not in fullcontrol, so much so the provinces were semi-autonomous to the point of being states within a state. The Wali (governors) acted independently from theKhalifah. They only sent him the Zakah, jizyah and homage in the khutbah.The Khilafah was not united as Islam demands. The state was declining. Thecrusaders took advantage of this weakness and occupied the Muslim land.
Salahuddin, out of the simplicity of character and directness of his vision, saw clearly that the weakness of the Muslim body politic which had permitted the establishment and permitted the survival of the crusading states was the result of political demoralization. His goal was to restore and revive thepolitical fabric of Islam as a single unified nation, not under his ownrule. Rather, as a selfless servant, he aimed at returning the rule of TheRevealed Law although he had the opportunity to usurp the power.
This is evidenced by the event of Kurdistan. When the Khalifah requestedthis land to be transferred to his rule, Salahuddin immediately complieddespite the anger and scorn of the Ameers of his army. He simply replied,"The Khalifah is the ruler of mankind and the repository of true faith. Ifhe were to join us here, I should give him all these lands. So what of theland of Shahrazur?"
2) The Battle of Hitteen:This is the Salahuddin, who led Jihad in 1187 to battle the Crusaders.12,000 strong Muslims cavalry, and about an equal number of troops andirregulars would form the army. On Friday, 26th June 1187 AD, they departed to liberate Palestine. It was in Ramadhan, 4th July, 1187 that Salahuddinwith the Muslim Mujahideen would fight one of the most important battles in the history of mankind. The Muslims, on this day, in one single day,virtually routed all local Christian forces capable of defending theCrusaders establishment in the Near East. Facing no resistance, Salahuddintook his time to reach the city of Jerusalem on 9th October 1187, a Friday, and the Holy city was returned and purified.
3) Lessons to be learnt from this Battle:Salahuddin is known by historians to have exacted whatever the enemiesdeserve. He did not care about the Romans who were the superpower at thattime. He showed no mercy to traitors or perjurers, Muslims or Christiansalike, who for decades harassed the borders of Egypt and Arabia. He was not a coward like the present leaders in the Muslim lands who consult thecolonialists at every step.
However battles are not won by a single individual, it was theinfrastructure of the state i.e., the Khilafah that enabled Salahuddin torally the Ummah. Yet where is this structure today to free the Muslim lands and defend the lives of our brothers and sisters? Where are our rulerstoday? We have not one hero amongst them who will rally the Muslims to unite nor will they do anything to halt the slaughter of Muslims around the world!

H-Net* Ramadhan In History

[Asiah Abdullah]

Ramadhan In History
All praises to Allah (SWT), Lord of the worlds. He who revealed in HisGlorious Quran, "Oh you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those who came before you that you may keep your duty to your Lord (having taqwa)," 2:185. And may blessings and-peace of Allah (SWT) beupon His last Messenger Muhammad ibn Abdullah. Oh you who believe, Ramadhan is a sacred month wherein Almighty Allah (SWT) is constantly testing Hiscreation and giving humanity the opportunity to achieve His (swt) pleasure.
Fasting is means of purification and developing the consciousness of ourrelationship with Allah. This Taqwa, is a protection against the schemes of Shaitan, and this world. Allah (SWT) has informed us that, "Whoever keepshis duty to Allah (has taqwa), He ordains a way out for him and gives himsustenance from where he imagines not. And whoever trusts in Allah, He issufficient for him. Surely Allah attains His purpose. Allah has appointed a measure for everything." (65:2) Ramadhan should be a time of increasedactivity wherein the believer, now lightened of the burdens of constanteating and drinking, should be more willing to strive and struggle for Allah (SWT). The Prophet (pbuh) passed through approximately nine Ramadhans after the Hijrah. They were filled with decisive events and left us a shiningexample of sacrifice and submission to Allah (SWT).
In the first year after the Hijrah, the Prophet (pbuh) sent Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib with thirty Muslim riders to Saif al Bahr to investigate threehundred riders from Quraish who had camped auspiciously in that area. TheMuslims were about to engage the disbelievers, but they were separated byMajdy ibn Umar al-Juhany. The Hypocrites of Al-Madinah, hoping to oppose the unity of the Muslims, built their own masjid (called Masjid al-Dhirar). The Prophet (pbuh) ordered this masjid to be destroyed in Ramadhan. 
On the seventeenth of Ramadhan, 2 A.H., Almighty Allah (SWT) separated truth fromfalsehood at the Great Battle of Badr (see article). Allah (SWT) gave them a decisive victory on this day of Ramadhan, that would never to be forgotten.
In 6 A.H., Zaid ibn Haritha was sent to Wadi al-Qura at the head of adetachment to confront Fatimah bint Rabiah, the queen of that area. Fatimah had previously attacked a caravan led by Zaid and had succeeded inplundering its wealth. She was known to be the most protected woman inArabia, as she hung fifty swords of her close relatives in her home. Fatimah was equally renowned for showing open hostility to Islam. She was killed in a battle against these Muslims in the month of Ramadhan. 
By Ramadhan of 8 A H., the treaty of Hudaibiyya had been broken and the Muslim armies hadengaged the Byzantines in the North. Muhammad (pbuh) felt the need to strike a fatal blow to disbelief in the Arabian Peninsula and conquered the city of Mecca in ramadhan (see article). This was one of the most important dates in Islamic history for after it, Islam was firmly entrenched in the ArabianPeninsula. During the same month and year, after smashing the idols ofMakkah, detachments were sent to the major centers of polytheism and al-Lat, Manat and Suwa, some of the greatest idols of Arabia, were destroyed.
Such was the month of Ramadhan in the time of the Prophet (pbuh). It was atime of purification, enjoining the good, forbidding evil, and striving hard with one’s life and wealth to make the word of Allah the highest and Islamthe dominant Deen. After the death of the Prophet (pbuh), Muslims carriedthis Sunnah on and Allah used the true believers to affect the course ofhistory. Ramadhan continued to be a time of great trials and crucial events.
Ninety-two years after the Hujrah in Ramadhan, Musa ibn Nusair, the Umayyad governor of North Africa, and his courageous general Tariq ibn Ziyadsucceeded in liberating whole of Spain, Sicily and of France (see article). Beginning of the Golden Age of Al-Andalus where Muslims ruled for over 700years.
In the year 682 A.H., Salahuddin al-Ayyubi, after battling with theCrusaders for years, finally drove them out of Syria and liberated the whole of the occupied lands in the month of Ramadhan (see article). The Muslimworld was then destined to meet one of its most greatest challenges. 
In the seventh century A.H. the Mongols were sweeping across Asia destroyingeverything that lay in their path Genghis Khan called himself "the scourgeof God sent to punish humanity for their sins. "In 617 A.H. Samarkand, Ray, And Hamdan were put to the sword causing more than 700,000 people to bekilled or made captive. In 656 A.H. Hulagu, the grandson of Genghis Khan,continued this destruction. Even Baghdad, the leading city of the Muslimworld, was sacked. Some estimates say that as many as 1,800,000 Muslims were killed in this awesome carnage. The Christians were asked to eat pork anddrink wine openly while the surviving Muslims were forced to participate in drinking bouts. Wine was sprinkled in the 

H-Net* Ayn Jalout Battle: 6 25 Ramadhan 658Ah (6 September 1260 CE)

[Asiah Abdullah]

Ayn Jalout Battle: 6 – 25 Ramadhan 658Ah (6 September 1260 CE)
Ayn Jalout witnessed one of the most crucial battles in history on Friday,25 Ramadhan 658 H (6 September 1260 CE). The Tartars had the logistic andscientific potential to win the fight against the Muslim army. Theiradvantages included:-
+ Efficiency and experience gained from the great number of wars theywitnessed.
+ High morale because they were never defeated.
+ They had a large number of fighters and more weaponry.
+ The efficiency of their cavalry who knew many advanced fighting techniquessuch as the thunderbolt method, which was a distinctive feature of theTartarians.
+ They were able to manage well because they were close to the bases of their supplies and support.
+ The strategic locations of their army were better than those of the Muslimarmy.
Despite the overwhelming superiority of the Tartarian army, the Muslim army scored a momentous, exceptional victory.
The Qutz army was characterized by the fact that it was an "Islamic" armyaimed at consolidating Islam and protecting its Holy Land. The greatscholars and religious men of Egypt joined this army making it a sacred army constructed and built for the sole purpose of prioritising the word of Allah and supporting its religion, Islam, in the land. Moreover, the army wasfurther characterized by having a faithful leadership who cherished a true"will to fight", a crucial factor in winning any battle.
Qutz told his army to wait until they finished the Friday prayers: "Do notfight them till it is sunset and the shadows appear and the winds stir, and the preachers and people start to implore Allah for us in their prayers",and thereafter the fighting began.
Jullanar, the wife of Qutz, was killed during the battle. He rushed towards her saying, "Oh my beloved one". She told him while uttering her lastbreath, "Do not say that, and care more for Islam." Her soul ascended toAllah after telling her husband that the Jihad for the sake of Allah andIslam is more important than love and personal relations. Qutz stood upsaying "Islamah…Islamah". The whole army repeated that word after him until they achieved their victory.
During the battle, the horse of Qutz was also killed, and he stepped downand started to fight on the ground till they brought him another horse. Herefused taking the horse of the other princes who volunteered their horsesto him saying that he did not want to impede them from their holy duty,rescuing himself instead. He was asked why he did not ride on a horse andwhy he jeopardized himself and Islam. He answered, "If I was killed, I would have gone to Heaven, and as to Islam, Almighty Allah is well capable ofprotecting it." After the battle was over and the victory was achieved forthe Muslims, Qutz stepped down from his horse and smeared his face with the dust of the battleground and kneeled to Allah in thankfulness and gratitude.
The Muslims immediately started to chase the Mongolians, and Qutz enteredDamascus five days after Ayn Jalout battle. The chase continued to Halab,and when the Mongolians felt the approach of the Muslims, they left behindthe Muslim prisoners, and suffered a great deal. In one month's time, theMuslims were able to restore Bilad Ash-Sham entirely from the hands of theTartars and the Mongolians.
This battle is considered to be one of the greatest battles in history inwhich the Mongolian invasion was put to an end. It was the beginning of the end of the Mongolians, who were forced to retreat. This liberated BiladAsh-Sham from their occupation.
It was reported that when Muslims defeated the Tatars in Bilad Ash-Sham, the scholar Ibn Taymiyyah asked the Tartar leaders to release the prisoners ofwar including the non-Muslims. Although the Tartar leaders agreed only torelease Muslim prisoners of war, Ibn Taymiyyah insisted that all prisonersof war be released, including the non-Muslims, stating, "we will never allow you to hold one prisoner Muslim or otherwise." In fact even though Muslimswere in a state of physical occupation, they were still able to influencethe Tartars to become Muslims and that was another victory for the Deen ofAllah.
Indeed scholars such as Ibn Taymiyyah very well understood the necessity of defending the Islamic State.
In his book As-Siyaasatu Ash-Shar'iyah Fi Islah Ar-Raa'ee war Ri'ayyah (The Political Divine Rules in Reforming the Caretaker and the Caretaking),states in the first sentence of the last chapter of the book entitled "TheObligation of the Adherence to the Leadership (of the Ummah)":
"It is known that the Office of Wilayatul Amri An-Naas (one in charge of the entire Muslim Ummah, i.e. the Khalifah) is of the greatest of obligations of the Deen (Islam). Albeit, there is no establishment of the Deen, except byit." He continues, saying: "This is the opinion of the Salaf, such as AlFadl ibn 'Iyad, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and others."
This battle is yet another example of the good attitudes of the Muslims.Whilst they prayed Nafl at night, read

[islah-net] Palestine - The Solution 4/4

[Asiah Abdullah]

How Muslims should respond - The Islamic Solution-
*O honourable brothers! We have seen that all the above-mentionedsolutions, do not practically solve the problem.
*How many years have we been engaged in, in giving charity,organising demonstrations, lobbying the kuffar and trying to have peace?*No! Indeed this is not how the Ummah should respond. Allah wantsthis Ummah to respond in a different manner, not only to remove the filth of the Israelis, but also to put your finger in the eyes of those that aresupporting them too!
*As Muslims, the only way we must view the issue of Palestine is fromthe eyes of the Shariah, and see how Islam defines the solution to theproblems happening to our beloved Ummah in Palestine.*The Prophet (saw) also said: "No one of you is a true believer untilI become the mind by which he thinks" 
*The Islamic solution to the occupation of Muslim land is Jihad. *Therefore, as Palestine is occupied Muslim land, the Islamicsolution is Jihad, and Allah (swt) says in Surah At-Tauba, verse 123:(O you who believe! Fight those who fight you,And let them find harshness in you,And know that Allah is with those are al muttaqeen (the pious))*The duty is Jihad and may Allah (swt) reward those who have foughtas Mujahideen to fight the aggressor.*But this Jihad needs to be done through an army and sincereleadership of an Ameer, not as individuals. *We need to come to the realisation that only an army, equipped withthe best technology, can fully realise this hukm of Allah Taala.
*What is preventing these great Muslim armies from once again risingup and responding to the command of Allah to that which gives them life?*What is preventing the strongest Muslim army, the army of Egypt,whose army barracks are less than 1 hour away from the Israeli border, from going to help their brothers in Palestine?*What is preventing the nuclear capability of Pakistan from coming tothe aid of the Muslims?*Inevitably, the only thing preventing the sons of this Ummahresponding to their brothers are these treacherous rulers, may Allah cursethem all.
*These same rulers who implement kufr over us, safeguard theinterests of Britain  America and prevent our brothers in the armieshelping our suffering Ummah in Palestine.*Indeed, it is shame on this blessed Ummah, for her not to take theinitiative one more time. To remove these leaders and respond with fire and bombs, not sticks and stones.*We need to work for that shield, as Rasool-Allah (saw) described:Innama Al-imaam ul junnah, behold, the Imam is a shield, from behind whichyou fight, and from behind which you are protected.
*Where is this Imam, the junnah, that is mentioned in this hadith? 
*By Allah, this hadith does not apply on the Kings and Presidents ofthe Muslim world, as it is shame on this Ummah to be represented by thosewho met in Sharm-ul-Shiekh a few days ago.
*By Allah, we need to work to re-establish the Khilafah, which willremove the unnatural entity of Israel via Jihad. *It takes an army to defeat an army, a state to defeat a state. *The Khilafah will liberate all the Islamic lands like that occupiedby the Russians, the Serbs and the mushriks of India.
*What better example than history?
*In the 12th and 13th centuries, when the Muslims had their landstaken away, they had the mechanism of the Khilafah to solve these problems.*So when we faced the problem of Baghdad being ransacked by theMongols in 1258, we realised the commitment to our belief to solve thisproblem and we retook Baghdad with the army of the Khilafah.*When the Crusaders took the land of Al-Quds in 1099, SalahuddinAyyubi (Raheemullah), as a Muslim general led the army of the Khilafah andretook Palestine.
*My dearest Muslim brothers, we must realise that the Khilafah is theonly solution to Palestine, any other solution proposed is born out ofnaivety and contradicts Islam.
*It is obligatory upon every Muslim to work to re-establish theKhilafah, such that we are not witness to these bloody scenes.
*According to Quran, the Jews are prophesied to suffer 2 verylarge-scale defeats at the hands of the Muslims. One has already occurred to the Jews of Khaybar at the hands of Rasool-Allah, and the other has yet tooccur by our hands, Insh'Allah.
*And I want to conclude, by giving us hope, for the impending victoryis near, when, as Rasool-Allah said, "The hour will not come until theMuslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, until the Jews hide Behind the rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees say: 'O Muslim! O Abdullah! A Jew is here behind me, so come and kill him', except the Gharqad [boxthorn], which is the tree of the Jews."
*And truly Allah has power over all things, but most peopleunderstand not.
*And I want to end my talk today, with the same ayah that I beganwith:
(TMQ 2:190 - And fight in the Way of Allah, those who fight you.)
*Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Aalameen. Ameen ya Rabbil Aalameen.Do You Yahoo!?

H-Net* Palestine - the Solution (3/4)

[Asiah Abdullah]

2.Solution by lobbying western governments
*The second solution presented to the Muslims is to lobby the kuffarwestern governments.
*Let us examine this proposed solution in the light of what Allahsays in the Qu'ran in Surah al-Nisa, verse 141:
(And Allah will never grant an authority to the disbeliveers over thebelievers)
*From this ayat, Allah (swt) has made it completely haraam for theUmmah to refer her affairs, as an Ummah, to the kuffar.
*She has the final revelation, the haqq, from which to look for asolution.
*Furthermore, when we look to the history of the kuffar, which statewas that in November 1917 that drafted a bill called the Balfour Declaration which mandated the existence of Israel? We all know that it was Britain.*Which state was it that formally aided in the creation of Israel in1948? We all know that it was Britain.
*We are behaving like the orphan, who does not know how to behaveafter the death of his parents. Like we go to the butcher who murdered ourparents, and ask for his help, whilst he is still holding the bloody dagger dripping in his hands that was used in the killing of our parents.
*No my brothers, Allah prohibits this, and we are not allowed to gowith a begging bowl to kufr, as this adds insult to the humiliation that we are already suffering.
3.Solution by holding long demonstrations---
*The third solution presented to this Ummah is to do demonstrations. *We have seen this Ummah protest and demonstrate over the last 25days.
*We saw over 1 million people demonstrate in Rabat in Morocco, andeven in this country we have seen demonstrations in London at 10 Downing Street.
*We have seen many demonstrations, up and down the Muslim world overthe last few weeks, born out of frustration and despair at the blood being spilt.
*Demonstrations are in themselves a good way for the establishment inthis country to allow the Muslims to vent their anger and frustrations.
*It allows the Muslims to channel their anger, which would otherwisebe channelled towards Islam to find the solution that Allah Taala commands.
*It gives an outlet for the Muslims to scream and shout, within apolice controlled environment, and also to build confidence in the eyes ofthe Muslims, that Tony Blair cares for the Muslims because he allowed it.
*My brothers, a demonstration that would add value, and be withpurpose, would be a demonstration declaring:
1.The state of Israel is illegitimate and is not worthy to exist;
2.The solution is Jihad via an army;
3.The Muslim rulers are corrupt because they prevent the armies, thesincere sons of this Ummah, from doing their duties;
4.These rulers and their corrupt systems need to be removed;
5.The Khilafah needs to be established that will be the shade of Allahon this earth, and be the shield that protects the Muslims.
*Yes, my brothers, a demonstration with purpose, with value, withhonour, is to declare that the only solution that is acceptable to Allah, is Jihad via an army, and not as individuals.
4.Solution by simply giving charity-
*The fourth solution presented to the Ummah is to solely give charityto the Muslims in Palestine, including money, clothes and medical equipment.
*By Allah, this Ummah is not poor, and does not need money, whetherthis be in the form of clothes, food, or even money to buy arms.
*Our money, is not the pounds in our pockets, or the thousands ofpounds in our banks, but the trillions and billions of dollars in the banks of New York, London and Paris.
*Yes brothers, our money is being hoarded by these rulers, and notbeing used for the benefit of our Ummah.
*Is it not shameful for these Arab countries, to raise a billiondollars for the Muslims in Palestine, money which already is theirs by right of the Sharaah, and give it as a form of Sadaqah?
*It is humiliating indeed!
*A brother from Palestine said that the Muslims in Palestine do notneed money because they are already rich, far richer than Egyptians andJordanians, what they need, is for the money that had already been spent To buy weapons by the Muslims armies, for these armies to be released and Used against the Jews.Do You Yahoo!?

H-Net* Palestine - the solution (2/4)

[Asiah Abdullah]

1.Solution by peace negotiations--
*We know of the first solution being presented to the Muslims. Thesolution that involves entering into a permanent peace with the Jews.
*Peace means giving credence to the idea that Israel has a right toexist. The problem with the Jewish State of Israel is one of existence, and not one of it's borders.
*How is it possible, my dear brothers, for this solution to even be aconsideration for us?
*Have we forgotten the significance of this land?
*Have we forgotten that this blessed land is linked to our aqeedah?
*Have we forgotten the very first ayat in Surah Al-Isra, whereAllah-tAllah says:
(TMQ 17:1: Blessed is the One who took His Servant during part of the night on aJourney from Masjid Al-Haram to Masjid Al-Aqsa, whose precincts we did bless )
*Have we forgotten that it was to this very land that Rasool-Allah(saw) did the Isra to, and it was from this very land that Rasool-Allah(saw) did the Meraaj?
*Have we forgotten that it is this very Mosque that the Jews want todestroy, and build their Temple Mount, this very Mosque, Al-Aqsa, that wasthe first Qibla for the Muslims?
*The very same Mosque that Rasool-Allah (saw) lead all the Prophetsin Salaah.
*No my brothers, I am sure that not one of us forgets these nobleincidents.
*How can we sit and negotiate over a land that has such a gloriousIslamic heritage? 
*Indeed, Allah makes it haraam to give away this land, which is theimplication of a lasting peace.
*Do we think, for one second, that America would want to make peacewith us if we occupied her White House? Would Tony Blair entertainnegotiation and dialogue if the Muslims forcefully took over the Houses ofParliament?*We all know, that in 1982, Britain sent her army to take back anisland in the South Atlantic Ocean called the Falklands, an island that ismany thousands of miles away from the mainland. Indeed Britain did notcompromise, and yet she expects this Ummah of Rasool-Allah to compromise.
*We also know of the Umari Agreement, signed by Umar-Al-Khataab (ra),in his capacity as the Khaleef, with the Christians, that prohibited theJews from living in Al-Quds. *This alone my brothers, is sufficient to prove that the peacenegotiations are haraam, because the glorious Sahabaah witnessed theincident of the agreement and gave their approval, indicating their Ija'ma.
*I came across a very inspiring quote from one of the UthmaniKhaleefs', Sultan Abdul Hameed the 2nd, at the beginning of last century in Istanbul in 1901.
*This Khaleefah, may Allah reward him for his political courage, wasapproached by a prominent Jewish Zionist, called Dr Theodore Hirtzel, whowanted to buy this blessed land of Al-Quds from the Muslims.
*This is how the Khaleefah responded:
"Please do tell Dr Hirtzel not to take any serious steps towards this issue. I cannot concede one single handspan of the Palestinian land for it is notmine to concede. Palestine belongs to the Muslim Ummah..."
"My people have fought hard for this land and irrigated it with their blood. The Jews might as well keep their millions..."
"If the Khilafah State one day fell they can take Palestine without anyprice. But as long as I am alive, I would rather be cut to pieces than tosee Palestine cut off from the Khilafah State and this shall not happen."
"I cannot agree to the mutilation of our bodies as long as we are alive."
*This is how the Khaleefah responded. Let us look to how some of theMuslim rulers responded, on the same issue:
*We know that Yasser Arafat said : "Despite all thedisappointments... we choose a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace. Ourgoals are the liberation of our land, the establishment of our independentstate... with holy Jerusalem as its capital..." *and Allah says in response, in Surah Al-Mumtahanah, in verse 9,
(It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of your Deen, And have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out,That Allah forbids you to befriend them.)
*Clearly what they mean by peace, which in reality is the giving awayof the lands of the Muslims, is haraam on any Muslim land, let alone theblessed land of Al-Quds.

[Dakwah] Kronologi pencabulan Israel ke Atas Umat Islam - catatan sejarah moden

[Asiah Abdullah]

Assalamualaikum w w
Berikut adalah fakta-fakta yang insyaAllah dapat membantu kita memahami dan menjelaskan kedudukan sebenar peristiwa Palestin sebagai isu umat Islam sedunia. Catatan ini mungkin kurang lengkap, tapi yang ada sudah cukup untuk menunjukkan kita betapa murahnya darah kaum muslimin kini tanpa daulah yang melindunginya.
Kronologi pencabulan Israel ke Atas Umat Islam
1897

Kongres Zionis Antarabangsa di Basel, Switzerland
1901

Pemilik Bank Yahudi, Mizray Qrasow pemilik Bank Yahudi dan dua pemimpin Yahudi lain menemui Khalifah Islam Sultan Abdul Hamid II. Mereka memberikan tawaran lumayan untuk membantu memakmurkan Daulah Islam yang berpusat di Turki (ketika itu sudah mendapat jolokan ‘Orang sakit Eropah’), tukarannya ialah membenarkan Yahudi keluar masuk dan menetap di Palestin sebebasnya. Sultan Abdul Hamid menolak tawaran itu mentah-mentah.
Pengasas Gerakan Zionis, Dr. Theodore Hertzil, berjaya memasuki Istanbul dengan bantuan Kaisar Wilhelm dari Jerman dan duta Jerman di Istanbul untuk memujuk Sultan Abdul Hamid II perkara yang sama. Sultan Abdul Hamid II tetap menolak, antara katanya, "..Aku tidak akan melepaskan walau segenggam tanah ini kerana ia bukan milikku, tapi hak umat Islam, umat Islam telah berjihad demi kepentingan tanah ini dan mereka telah menyiramnya dengan darah mereka. Kalau Daulah Khilafah Islamiyah dimusnahkan satu hari nanti, Yahudi bolehlah mengambil Palestin dengan percuma…"
Sultan Abdul Hamid II mengeluarkan keputusan tantang larangan bermigrasi bagi Yahudi ke Palestin (lihat Iyyad Hilal, Al-Qadhiyah Al-Falasthiniyyah, m/s 14).
1908-1909

Sultan Abdul Hamid II disingkirkan oleh Turki Muda Kebangsaan, (boneka Inggeris) dengan bantuan Yahudi. Daulah Islam diketuai oleh sultan-sultan boneka yang mengikut telunjuk Turki Muda Kebangsaan. Sistem pemerintahan berubah kepada sistem parlimen berperlembagaan, dengan khalifah sebagai ketua negara yang tidak berautoriti.
Inggeris, dengan dasar ‘pecah dan perintah’, mengapi-apikan semangat perkauman antara bangsa Turki dengan Arab. Turki Muda melakukan diskriminasi terhadap bangsa Arab. Bangsa Arab pula diperdaya dengan kepercayaan palsu bahawa ketua daulah Islam mestilah berketurunan Quraisy.
1916

As-Syarif Hussain di Makkah memberontak menentang khilafah (di Turki) dengan bantuan Perancis dan Inggeris.
Persetujuan Sykes-Picot oleh kuasa-kuasa Eropah membahagi-bahagikan tanah umat Islam.
1914-1918

Perang Dunia I, Daulah Islam kalah, tanahnya dibahagi-bahagikan kepada kuasa Eropah.
Britain berjaya mengambil Palestin. General Allenby mengeluarkan kenyataan "Perang Salib telah selesai!". General Perancis memijak-mijak kubur Salahuddin Al-Ayubi dan berkata: "Bangunlah hai Saladin! Inilah kami kembali kali kedua!" 
Balfour menjanjikan tanahair bagi Yahudi di Palestin.
1924

Mustapha Kemal merampas kuasa dari khalifah, menghalau Khalifah Abdul Majeed II ke Switzerland, dan mengumumkan Republik Turki yang sekular. Umat Islam sedunia kehilangan pembelanya.
1947
- Resolusi PBB.

Bangsa Yahudi dari seluruh dunia berbondong-bondong menduduki Palestin.

Why are they threatening to fightwar while at the same time accepting US and UN "mediation" in Palestinewhich is blessed Islamic land whose people are Muslims and whose matter CANONLY BE SETTLED BY ISLAM? Why do they turn the kufr and kuffar for resolvingour disputes which is the sign of the hypocrite? How dare they have openeddiplomatic relations with the enemy occupier Israel?Why do they threaten warnow, and even then only indirectly, after living with Israel's "existence"for more than 50 years? How can anyone think they will move now for theIslamic solution of jihad when they have never done so before? How can theysend food and blankets and money alone, when what is obliged is for them tosend their armies? How come when Allah (SWT) obliges jihad to liberateIslamic lands they are slow and hesitant, yet when the US ordered them tofight against Islam they are ready and willing? How dare some of them talkof opening geurilla camps to train mujahideen to go fight when they alreadyhave huge armies sitting in barracks doing absolutely nothing; this is thejob of a Muslim army led by an Islamic leader, not a few individualsfighting as geurillas. They have the armies under their commands yet give noorders to fight!How can they even fight against Israel, an illegitimate state, when they areclosely allied to Israel's allies, the US and Europe. How could these agentrulers fight the illegitimate son, Israel, when they slavisly submit to itsparents, their western masters? How weak they are when they even refuse touse the oil which Allah ta'ala blessed the whole Ummah with--not does itbelong to some corrupted royal families--as a weapon against the Ummah'senemies?These rulers are western agents implementing kufr over the Ummah, and theyare merely massaging public opinion so that their people do not turn againstthem to replace them with one sincere Islamic ruler who will implement Islamcomprehensively and lead the obligatory jihad to liberate Palestine and alloccupied Muslim lands followed by carrying the Islamic message to the entireworld soon Insha'Allah. Our noble Ummah must wake up to the fact that whileIsrael is the external enemy we have even worse enemies internally i.e. thehypocrite agent rulers, and we will not resolve any of our problems until wereplace these corrupted agent rulers with the only legitimate Islamic one,the Khaleefah.By John K. CooleyA T H E N S, Greece, Oct. 10 - Saudi Arabia has been never much of acombatant in past Arab-Israeli wars, but it has become one of Israel'stoughest critics in the current Palestinian-Israeli crisis. And now, it hasbecome the first major Arab state to warn of possible action against theJewish state.The warning, from Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz, was coupledwith an assurance that the kingdom would not use oil as a leverage pointagainst the West, as it had when tensions heated up in the past.In October 1973, Saudi King Faisal sanctioned the Arab oil embargo to punishthe West for its support of Israel in the Arab-Israeli war. Prince Abdullah, who effectively runs the Saudi realm for his ailing elderbrother King Fahd, spoke Monday while visiting Palestinian woundedhospitalized in Riyadh. Saudi broadcasters quoted him as saying the kingdomwould "respond" if Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak carried out pledges touse force against Syria and Lebanon if border violence flares again."Barak must think carefully," said Abdullah, who generally avoids politicalstatements and weighs his public words carefully, "before taking theslightest intolerable step ... and no one can imagine that the Saudi kingdomand the entire Arab-Islamic nation would remain still."The Saudi crown prince did not specify what action the world's largest crudeoil producer might take. Other Arab Countries Join InApparently trying to match its bigger neighbor and rival Saudi Arabia,Yemen's leadership has publicly proposed sending weapons and armedvolunteers to help the Palestinians.Past Israeli-Saudi friction, mediated by the United States, has occurredover small Saudi-claimed islands in the Red Sea and the Straits of Tiran, onthe southern approaches to Israel's port of Eilat. Israel occupied oneSaudi-owned island, but later evacuated it after the 1967 war.In early Arab-Israel conflicts, from 1948 onward, Saudi military contingentseither were not mobilized, or in the 1967 and 1973 wars, did not make it tothe front lines. However, Saudi armed forces were deployed in Syria in 1973and suffered some casualties.Saudi Arabia cut its oil exports to punish Britain and France for helpingIsrael in the 1956 Suez war, and to hurt the United States and other Westernnations for the same reason in the 1967 war.

This proved that it was not a human work but theword of the Creator, Allah, whose words are perfect and true. The earlyMuslims could not prove the scientific miracles via experimentation at thattime and others did not live long enough for all the Qur'anic prophecies tocome true. However, they!
 knew just by the eloquence of the Qur'an that itwas definitely the words of Allah so that whatever it said--prophecies orscientific or anything else--was definitely true.Allah ta'ala bless us to have conviction in our deen and enable us to beamong the active mu'mineen who work hard--just like the Sahabah--toestablish Islam practically in our lives and in the whole world by carryingits da'wah and establishing its Shari'ah comprehensively by establishing theIslamic State--Amin!Male Sperm Female Ovum ZygoteIII. STAGES OF THE CREATION OF MAN (A)Allah sent the Prophet Muhammad, (sallallahu 'alaihiwa sallam), as a messenger to the whole universe.Allah says in the Qur'an:We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures.(Qur'an 21:107).And so Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam)is the Messenger of Allah to the bedouins in thedesert just as he is the Messenger of Allah to thepresent-day scientist in his modern laboratory. He isthe Messenger of Allah to all peoples of all times.Before Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam), each Messenger was sent exclusively to hisown people: ...to every people a guide has been sent.(Qur'an 13:7).Prophet Muhammad's (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam)message, however, is to all of mankind, and it is forthis reason that Allah has given a supporting proof ofthe message of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam), a proof which is different from the proofsgiven to the messengers before him. The proofs of thepreceding messengers were only seen by theircontemporaries and possibly by some generationsimmediately following them. Then Allah would send anew messenger, supported with a new miracle, in orderto revive the faith of his people. But because ProphetMuhammad (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) was destinedto be last of the prophets unt!
il the Day ofResurrection, Allah has given him an everlastingmiracle as a supporting proof.If we ask a Jew or Christian to show us the miraclesof prophet Musa (Moses) or Isa (Jesus), may theblessings and peace of Allah be upon them all, theyboth would submit that it is not within human power toredemonstrate any of those miracles now. Moses' canecannot be created nor can prophet Jesus be invoked toraise people from the dead. For us today, thesemiracles are nothing more than historical reports. Butif a Muslim is asked about the greatest miracle of theProphet Muhammad (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam), hecan readily show his book, the Qur'an. For the Qur'anis a miracle that remains in our hands. It is an openbook for all people to examine its contents. Allah said in the Qur'an:What thing is most weighty in evidence? Say: Allah iswitness between me and you; this Qur'an has beenrevealed to me by in!
spiration that I may warn you andall whom it reaches. (Qur'an 6:19).The miraculous nature of the Qur'an lies in theknowledge which it contains. Allah, the Exalted, said:But Allah bears witness to that which He has sent down(the Qur'an) you (O Muhammad); He has sent it downwith His Knowledge... (Qur'an 4:166).Hence, our contemporary scientists and scholars, theprofessors in various universities who are leaders ofhuman thought, have the opportunity to examine theknowledge which is found in the book of Allah. In thisage, scientists have excelled in discovering theuniverse, though the Qur'an has already discussed theuniverse and human nature even long before.

A battle forthe hearts and minds of the Muslims. A battle between Truth and Falsehood. Aconstant bombardment of lies from the Western media. An unrelentingonslaught by secular institutions and individuals. Portraying Islam asblind, irrational and fanatical. Accusing Islam as oppressive anddestructive, having no place in the civilised world of today. A propagandacampaign with one single aim. To achieve victory over Truth. To remove Islamfrom the face of the earth., by making Muslims abandon it. The Jews andChristians will never be pleased with you until you follow their Beliefs(and leave your own). To win, Falsehood cannot accept any less than!
 that. Itis the opposite of Truth. With the removal of Islam would come the completesubmission of the Islamic Ummah to all the falsehood that is thrust upon it.The occupation of Islamic land, as is seen in Israel and Kashmir. Theslaughter of Muslims, as was seen during the Gulf war. The mass rape of thedaughters of the Ummah, as seen in Bosnia. The exploitation of the oilresources in the Middle East, as seen in Saudi Arabia. The failure of thispropaganda is clear and total. This is because the Ummah has grown in itsawareness of Islam. Islam is now the fastest growing belief of the planet.All over the Islamic land the Ummah is restless with the desire to see theend of the implementation of kufr upon her. Full of expectation and thereturn of Islam as a way of life. The truth is clearer in the hearts andminds of Muslims. As it becomes clear, it stands apart from the falsehood.Muslims are more able to see the battlelines between !
Islam and kufr(falsehood). That they cannot mix, for anything less than the truth isfalsehood. Truth cannot compromise with falsehood for then what is left isfalsehood "And do not mix the truth with falsehood" (TMQ 2:42)So Muslims can see clearly the battle between truth versus falsehood. Jihadagainst those who occupy Islamic Land versus surrender to them. Unity of theIslamic lands under one Khalif versus its division under the United nations.Using the wealth of the Ummah for the citizens of the Islamic State versusit having it stolen by multinational companies. Ruling by Islam versusruling by man made law, democracy. Making the truth the sole judgement ineach matter versus settling for less than that i.e., secularism.So the forces of falsehood have devised a new plan of attack, compromise. Aplan that deals with the reality of Islam's hold on the hearts and minds ofMuslims. This new plan is to hide the ugly face of kufr behin!
d Islamicslogans. To goad the Ummah to swallow the bitter pill of kufr by giving itan Islamic flavouring. So Clinton tries to hide the ugly face of Israelioccupation of Islamic land, by quoting Qur'anic verses on the white houselawn. Numerous sheikhs in Islamic lands have fabricated fatwas to justifythe so-called peace process. Mixing kufr with Islam. A new kind offalsehood, a falsehood with the truth mixed in. A falsehood calledcompromise, making the eating of pig halal, as it were. Surely the crowing glory for this devious plan is to try to hide entiregovernments of compromise from the eyes of the Islamic Ummah. Shieldingtheir huge corruption by a few Shari'ah laws here and there. Governmentsthat are based on a mix of Islam and kufr. So the Kingdom of Saudi Arabiabecomes the state of Tawheed because it implements a few of the punishmentsfrom Shari'ah. Sudan becomes an Islamic Dowlah because it mentions theQur'an as one !
of the sources of its constitution. Iran and Pakistan adds theprefix "Islamic republic of" and Saddam Hussein stuck "Allahu Akbar" ontothe Iraqi flag! To plead with the Ummah that these "Islamic" regimes aresomehow different from the other regimes that pollute the Islamic lands.That Saudi Arabia is Islamic but Syria is not. That Sudan is Islamic butTunisia is not. To beg the Ummah to support them rather than remove them.This is a lie. For despite their lipservice to Islam, a few Shari'ah lawshere and there, These "Islamic" governments are governments of falsehoodtoo, because they are built on compromise.In fact the falsehood is the main ingredient in their compromise. Verylittle of the compromise has Islamic laws. For these "Islamic" regimes havepledged themselves to manmade law. In other words the whole basis for theirgovernment is kufr.

Subject: Public discontent with democracies growing!Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 06:31:34 +0300
Public discontent with democracies growingLONDON: There is now broad agreement throughout the West on the role of the state in economic life. Everyone, perhaps excluding the Americans, buys some variant on the social market. The cold war over, defence is a non-issue. So a principal test of state performance becomes domestic social policy. But here government faces problems. One is how to satisfy a public reluctant to pay up but ever eager for benefit. The other is that most social policies, health and education included, rely as much on how well the public chooses to behave (eat veg, read books at home) as on what government spends.This, broadly speaking, is the argument of a new collection of essays on public faith in government, just out in the US: Disaffected Democracies, edited by Susan Pharr and Robert Putnam . It is based solidly on state-of-the-art attitude surveys across westernEurope, Japan, the US an!
d Canada, tracking opinion over a quarter of a century. It follows up an apocalyptic report by Samuel Huntington, the cold war theorist, in 1975, which intellectually set the scene for the success of right-wing anti- governmentparties - Thatcher and Reagan but also Kohl and Nakasone. The problem was said to be the size of the state. Less of it would make people happier.Not as it has turned out. Public unhappiness with government and the institutions of representative democracy has continued growing. Thatcherite "no such thing as society" rhetoric may even have diminished the social capital and public trust that are vital to democracy's functioning.In the US confidence in government ended up lower after 12 years of Republican rule. Faith in public institutions fell markedly in the UK during the 80s. Generally, political cynicism has grown during the past decade. More people agree with pollsters' questions about the self-interest of MPs or politicians being out of to!
uch.Recent decline in public confidence in legislatures is reported as "especially severe" in the US and UK but is also present in Germany and Sweden, with only Denmark and Iceland showing modest gains. While 48 per cent expressed "quite a lot of confidence" in the British House of Commons in 1985, by 1995 that figure had halved. In Germany, the proportion professing trust in their Bundestag deputy had risen from 25 per cent in 1951 to 55 per cent in 1978; by 1992 it was down to 34 per cent. Meanwhile that other engine of representative democracy - party membership - slides. The proportion of people expressing a "partisan attachment" has fallen in 17 out of the 19 advanced countries for which data exist over time.These figures matter. To the left they surely signal less public willingness to see the state redistribute income - which in time becomes a recipe for more inequality. To the right it ought to indicate less acceptance of the state's authority.Source:Gaurdi!
anCommentThe man-made system, filled with contradictions, will never be able to solve problems of mankind. Simply because it is from a person's own mind is enough to announce any policy or system's failure.Whilst the authors of such reports do so because they are looking for a solution, they unfortunately narrow their vision so much that they miss the fundamental truth, that man's own legislation will always be contradictory, and so never lead to a just systemwhich will satisfy people. The past two hundred years of democracy has been one of patching up holes with after-thought legislations. The fact that the legislation changes so much in democracies should be enough to show its incorrectness. Even thelegislators themselves are acknowledging the failure of a law or policy, so the replace it. They then have great pride that they have now got it right, until next year when they replace it again.People must look beyond democracy to see that it is the i!
nstitution itself that is the failure. As pointed out in the article above, it breeds rampant selfishness to the point that every individual is only concerned for himself and so the society suffers orcollapses. To gain confidence in the system, the government rely upon short-lived unifying measures such as patrotic projects, like the UK's millenium dome exhibition, moralistic family values or just plain nationalism. No patchwork measures will solve this, as freedom is inherently selfish and individualistic. All of this built upon one thought, the desire for self benefit, is man made and so is bound to fail, as it already has.Islam gave a system from the creator which satisfies the people. Man's relationship with his creator is acknowledged and a system is put to regulate it. Man's relationship with himself is regulated and also man's relationship with others. People are not left tofeel there is a contradiction between thier interests and those of society, nor are t!

They plot and plan, and Allah tooplans, but the best of planners is Allah." (tmq Al-Anfal:30).According to this verse from the noble Quran it is clear how thedisbelievers, headed by the imperialist states, are always trying to fulfilthree objectives:(1) They want to keep Muslims confined within specific geographical entities(2) They kill Muslims, and they force them to implement their plans in orderto maintain control of them(3) They force Muslims out of their lands in accordance with their maliciousplans.Oh Muslims,The disbelievers have declared a long lasting war against us and against ourDeen. They have attacked Muslims, they have stolen the Muslims wealth, andthey are trying day and night to keep us away from applying Islam in ourlives.Look how they divided Muslims into small states, and they imposed over thesepuppet states their agents.Look how they drew the political borders between Muslims in a way toencourage fights within our Ummah and in order to keep our Ummah divided.They have encouraged the rise of nationalism  patriotism to keep Muslimsdivided and to keep us fighting each other. The vicious war that thedisbelievers are waging against Muslims is mainly against our creed. Thedisbelievers are carrying their creed (the separation between religion andsociety) as an intellectual leadership that they want to propagate to theMuslim societies and in the life of every Muslim.They want to eradicate Islam from our lives: to keep it as a spiritualfeeling within mosques and individuals.Oh Muslims,Our rulers have sold the Deen for the sake of their masters. There is nodifference between the rulers in Arabia, or Egypt, or Syria, or Pakistan, orIndonesia. All the rulers in the Muslim world are collaborating with thedisbelievers against our beloved Deen. They are implementing the disbeliever’s creed in our societies (i.e. the separation between Religion and State)under calls like Democracy, Globalisation etc…Dear Muslims,We all should be up to the challenge that is facing us. We should stand upto carry Islam as a complete way of life and live or die for the sake ofAllah (swt) and His (swt) Deen that He (swt) has chosen for mankind (i.e.Islam). We should fight the disbelievers and their agents. Allah (swt) says,"fight you the chiefs of Unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them: sothat they may be restrained." (tmq Al-Tawba:12)If you stand up and defend this Deen then Allah (swt) will surely help you.Allah (swt) says,"But Allah willed to justify the Truth according to His words, and to cutoff the roots of the Unbelievers" (tmq Al-Anfal:7).Dear Muslims,We should plan and decide for ourselves and not let others plan and decidefor us. Let all of you know that only by the re-establishment of the IslamicKhilafah State will this Ummah be able to stand up to the challenges, andonly the Islamic Khilafah State will enable her to apply Islam and carryIslam to the rest of the world. Allah (swt says,"Except for those who repent, mend (their life), hold fast to Allah, andpurify their religion as in Allah's sight; if so they will be (numbered)with the Believers. And soon will Allah grant to the Believers a reward ofimmense value." (tmq Al-Nisaa:146).AmeenDo You Yahoo!?

According to the United Nations, expenditures by Arab countries on basicservices such as health care and education have !
been minimal, with Jordanon top, spending 3.7 percent of its GDP on these sectors in 1998. Military expenditure in the Arab countries increased by 9.1 percent in1998, to $44.4 billion from $40.7 billion in 1997. Total defenseexpenditure constituted 7.4 percent of GDP, well above the world averagemilitary expenditure of 2.4 percent of GDP. The share of military spending to Gross Domestic Product in Egypt was 4%. Military expenditure in 1998 increased for the North African countries by13 percent on the level in 1997 and amounted to $5.8 billion, with Algeria's share at about 40 percent. The group's average defense expenditure as ashare of GDP (3.9 percent) is the lowest in the Middle East- North Africaregion. The 1999 defense budgets for the North African countries decreasedmarginally, by about 1 percent. Algeria 's 1999 defense budget showed adecrease of 5 percent, while Libya maintained its previous level.!
 Moroccoand Tunisia's defense budgetary allocations grew last year by 2 percentand 3 percent, respectively. The perpetual trend of high military spending among the Arab countries hascaused an immense imbalance in the use and allocation of resources awayfrom health care and education, which are well below world averages formost countries of the region.__Do You Yahoo!?

It added that imposing laws andregulations did not necessarily lead to more piety.The ruling even resulted in two prominent women who are normally atloggerheads taking a similar stand on the issue.Rafidah Aziz, the Minis!
ter of International Trade and Industry, said themove ignored the right of individuals.Wan Azizah Ismail, president of the opposition National Justice Party,said wearing the tudung - wrap-around head-gear which is now a must inTerengganu - was a woman's choice.The second state to fall into the hands of PAS, Terengganu announced thatwomen would have to wear the tudung and cover all other parts of theirbodies except their hands.A similar dress code was applied in Kelantan in 1995, five years after PAStook control of that state. On Monday, a Kelantan official said 23 Muslimwomen had been fined M$30 (HK$62) each for not wearing the tudung inpublic.The common stand of Ms Rafidah and Dr Azizah on the new dress codecontrasts with their opposing attitudes on most other matters. Ms Rafidahis a rapid-fire and forceful speaker, while Dr Azizah speaks softly andhesitantly.Dr Azizah always wears the tudung !
in public. The minister seldom wearseven a head scarf.But the women are diametrically opposed on the subject of Anwar Ibrahim,former deputy prime minister and Dr Azizah's husband. He is an oldpolitical foe of Ms Rafidah, who backs the Government over Anwar's sackingand jailing for corruption.However, Ms Rafidah took a swipe at Terengganu's rulers, saying theyshould not make laws just to satisfy PAS leaders.Dr Azizah, whose party formed an opposition alliance with PAS for theelection, said simply: "There is no compulsion in religion."One should be wise in how to implement [the Terengganu ruling]."_Do You Yahoo!?

dalam sejarah kerasullan rasulullah saw dan para sahabatnya ramai orang keluar dari islam tetapi rasullah saw tidak pernah menjatuhkan hukuman. orang murtad diperangi bukanlah kerana murtadnya, sebaliknya disebabkan oleh usaha mereka untuk menindas uamt islam dan berusaha untuk menghapuskan agama islam dari muka bumi ini.
kesimpulanda dari alquran dan syunnah rasul adalah mnusia bebas memilih bergama, namun allah memberi peringatan bahawa siksaannya amat pedih.
jika ditahan orang yang ingin meninggalkan islam, implikasinya adalah semakin ramai orang minafik dalam islam. harus kita mengimbau sejarah perpecahan dalam islam adalah dimainkan oleh orang-orang munafik. orangyang mengaku dirinya keluar dari islam lebih baik dari orang yang berpuara-pura islam. sekurang-kurangnya apabila dia mengistiharkan dirinya murtad, umat islam dapat mengenalinya bahawa dia tidak lagi mencintai islam janganlah hendaknya kita begitu ghairah hendak menjatuhnya hukuman bunuh tanpa menghiraukan garis panduan yang ditetapkan dalam alquran, kelak islam sendiri yang rugi. siapa yang ingin mendekati islam, jika imej yang ditonjolkan oleh umatnya menggambarkan bahawa islam ini satu agama yang amat kejam? di malaysia atau di mana-mana sahaja umat yang bukan bergama islam begitu gerun dengan agama islam disebsbkan selama ini yang mereka lihat cuma kekerasan. fikirkanlah

ni yg ada dlm posting saya dulu tu:
The only solution then to the occupation of Islamic land, then and now,was the unity of Muslims and the fighting of jihad to liberate all occupiedland from the filth of kufr. Then there was the Abbasid Khalifah and Salah ud-Deen Al-Ayyubi as "amir al-jihad" (leader of Islamic army) to do thejob. Today where is our Khalifah and our amir al-jihad?Wake up, O Muslims!

this is what hanzala had responded for the above:
the only solution to the present age of the muslim problems throughout the world is by accepting the prommised mahdi/messiah sent by Allah that is Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian. he also as been commanded by allah swt proclaimed himself as prophet Isa a.s. based on the holy quran only through the prophet then the khilafah system could be established. sign of the promised mahdi as prophesised by rasululah saw has occured in India in 1894,
"Sesungguhnya bagi Mahdi kami ada dua tanda, yang belum pernah terjadi semenjak bumi dan langit diciptakan. akan terjadi gerhana bulan pada malam pertama malam-malam gerhananya pada bulan ramadhan dan akan terjadi gerhana matahari pada hari pertengahan hari-hari gerhananya pada bulan ramadhan yang sama"
The possible dates of the said eclipse are as follows:
1) gerhana bulan - 13, 14 and 15 ramadhan. took place on the 13th.2) gerhana matahari - 27, 28, and 29 ramadhan. took place on the 28th.
kemenangan islam hanya terjadi dengan berimannya kita kepada imam mahdi.

sekarang giliran saya pulak nak cakap panjang
Saya nampak ada 2 point daripd percakapan sdr ini:1. Tiada ayat al-quran yg menjatuhkan hukuman bunuh ke atas org murtad2. Nak selamatkan umat Islam, kena tunggu Mahadi @ Mirza Qadiani @ Nabi Isa
Saya suka memetik kata-kata Syeikh Tantawi dlm ceramahnya di Majlis Syarahan Umum dan Dialog di Pusat Islam sempena lawatannya ke Malaysia sepertimana tersiar dlm BH 20/8/98:"Pada zaman Nabi Muhammad, jika ada yang keluar Islam, Rasulullah biarkan. Tetapi kalau mereka menceritakan perkara buruk yang menghina Islam selepas itu, ketika itulah kita kena fikirkan tindakan terhadap mereka, bukan sebab mereka keluar Islam."
Selanjutnya mari kita perhatikan hadith-hadith di bawah, dan tanya diri

Assalamualaikum ww
My own comment:
Bagi kita di Malaysia, tentu sekali kita masih ingat pernyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh al-Tantawi semasa lawatannya ke Malaysia: 'malaysia negara Islam' dan 'Murtad tak perlu dihukum'. Orang² seperti inilah yang sekian lama mengelirukan minda Islam di sebalik kedudukan dan kelulusan mereka sebagai tok syeikh! (Termasuk dlm golongan ini: Muhammad Abduh (Mesir), Ali Asghar Engineer (India), Gus Dur (Indonesia), Hamid Othman (Malaysia) dan banyak lagi...)
Assalaamu alaykumWhat treachery from "Shaykh al-Azhar" thanking the Pope for his honourable stand vis a vis the Palestinian people! What honourable stand? As far as the Vatican is concerned, Jerusalem is their holy city which must be "internationalised" and supervised by Christians, Jews and Muslims. Whereas Islam says that all of Palestine is uniquely Islamic land which MUST BE UNDER THE HANDS OF MUSLIMS WHO RULE BY THE SHARI'AH. Can there be any clearer contradiction? And does Shaykh al-Azhar forget--or does the kufr regime he serves so faithfully make him forget!--that this is the second time that the Holy Land is out of our hands. The first time was via the Crusades ordered by Catholic popes who asked their followers to clear Jerusalem of the "infidel barbarians" i.e. Muslims, which they did with incredible brutality and atrocities (similar to what the Russians are doing now in Chechnya!). The only solution then to the occupation of Islamic land, then and now, w!
as the unity of Muslims and the fighting of jihad to liberate all occupied land from the filth of kufr. Then there was the Abbasid Khalifah and Salah ud-Deen Al-Ayyubi as "amir al-jihad" (leader of Islamic army) to do the job.

-Pope denounces violence in religious guise Andrew Hammond Pope John Paul II, decrying violence under the banner of religion, metEgypt's top Muslim and Coptic Christian clerics in Cairo Thursday with amessage of peace. "To promote violence and conflict in the name of religion is a terriblecontradiction and a terrible offense against God," the pope said at thestart of his three-day visit to Egypt. "But past and present history give us many examples of such a misuse ofreligion," he said in an arrival address. The 79-year-old pontiff appealed for Muslim-Christian harmony and calledfor a Middle East peace in which the rights and legitimate aspirations ofall peoples would be respected. The pope visited Grand Sheikh Mohamed Sayyed Tantawi of al-Azhar, the1,000-year-old seat of learning whose influence stretches throughout theSunni Muslim world. "I t!
hanked the Vatican and his Holiness the Pope for their honorableposition regarding the Palestinian people," Tantawi told reporters aftertheir 45-minute closed meeting. He said he had told the pope that common interests joined Christians andMuslims, who had lived in Egypt for 14 centuries "under one sky, on oneland and breathing the same air." Tantawi said he had assured the pope that Egyptians, whether Christians orMuslims, enjoyed equality of rights and duties. The two men exchanged gifts, the pope receiving a book on al-Azhar'shistory and Tantawi a religious painting. The pope earlier went to the cathedral residence of Coptic Pope ShenoudaIII, whose Orthodox church has never recognized papal supremacy in nearly2,000 years of existence. Shenouda praised the pope's efforts for peace in the Middle East andharmony among Christians. "We wish all efforts for Christian unity may goforward through your h!
elp," he said. Shenouda reminded his guest that Egypt was a holy land, sanctified by thevisit of Jesus and his parents, said to have spent three years in Egypt toescape King Herod's persecution. President Hosni Mubarak, who greeted the pope at the airport, called him"a man of courage, wisdom and tolerance." In a sign of his increasing frailty the Pope, who once began his foreignvisits by kissing the ground, this time kissed a bowl of Egyptian soilpresented to him by a child. "We should strive together to fight fanaticism, prejudice and hatred. Weshould oppose all discrimination, injustice and double standards if we areto establish a new viable world order. Your voice on these issues is ofenormous value," Mubarak told his visitor. Mystical Sinai Moment The highlight of the pope's visit to Egypt, the

Subject: THEY ARE SERIOUS ABOUT KILLING MUSLIM CHILDREN!Assalamu 'alaikumPenganiayaan mereka ke atas seluruh umat Islam begitu nyata dan ketara. Moga penentangan kita terhadap mereka tidak terhenti setakat demo petang ini saja. Teruskan penentangan terhadap Yahudi, sedarkan mereka yang masih belum sedar, dan bersamalah membina daulah Islamiyah agar kedaulatan syara' pulang ke gagangnya. Selamat berjuang, mulakan langkah demo anda dengan bismillah dan niat liLlahi Ta'ala, dan azam untuk tidak menghentikan usaha setakat di situ. Wassalam.

Levy says he means what he said yesterday about killing Lebanese children^Khaled AmyrehIsraeli Foreign Minister David Levy said today he meant what he saidyesterday in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, about killing Lebanesechildren and incinerating the whole of Lebanon.The Israeli state-run radio today quoted Levy as saying that "what I saidyesterday was not a slip of the tongue nor a bout of anger, I meant what Isaid."Levy said he wanted to sound a warning to all those "who supportedHizbullah terrorism," adding that his warnings were "receiving listeningears on the other side."The Zionist official repeated his threats, saying "if Israeli citizenswere attacked, our reaction would be swift and harsh." While speaking before the Knesset Wednesday, Levy said "we'll killLebanese children if our citizens were attacked.""A tooth for a tooth and a child for a child," he said.Levy's statements were castigated by Arab Knesset members who describedthem as "primitive" and "inappropriate for a Foreign Minister."Observers in Palestine see no surprise in Levy's statements, since killingArab civilians has always been a consistent Israeli policy since thecreation of the Zionist regime more than fifty years ago.

 Muslims rounded up, to be held until end of
 Ramadan: report 

^^^

http://www.iviews.com/scripts/indexstory.cfm?id=182290category_id=7
 
 WASHINGTON, Dec 30 (iviews.com) - The CIA is
 coordinating a worldwide
 operation to detain hundreds of Muslims
 suspected of ties to terrorism,
 and hold them until after Ramadan, according to
 an NBC report. The report
 quoted officials who admitted many would
 probably never be charged.
 
 According to the report, hundreds of Muslims in
 Europe and the Middle East
 identified by U.S. agencies have been rounded
 up by local security forces
 as a result of "prompting" by U.S. authorities.
 The suspects will be held
 until the end of Ramadan "as a precaution."
 
 U.S. officials described the crackdown as a
 "roundup of the usual
 suspects." In most cases, they said, those
 arrested have been under
 long-term surveillance on suspicion of planning
 terrorist attacks. A CIA
 official told NBC the aim of the operation is
 to "maintain truth, justice
 and the American way."
 
 U.S. officials have in the past been accused of
 violating civil rights
 overseas as a response to the threat of
 terrorism.
 
 Kathi Austin, a visiting scholar at Stanford
 University's Center for
 African Studies and a former researcher for
 Human Rights Watch, told
 iviews.com that in the wake of terrorist
 bombings of U.S. embassies in
 Tanzania and Kenya, FBI agents used little
 discretion in detaining Muslims
 in those countries.
 
 "The FBI rounded up members of the Muslim
 community indiscriminately --
 imams, leaders, whoever. They even arrested the
 captain of a local soccer
 team. They really caused a lot of resentment."
 
 The revelation that the Muslims arrested in the
 current operation will be
 held until the end of Ramadan comes after
 efforts by the U.S. State
 Department to distance itself from its earlier
 statement linking the
 Islamic holy month to terrorism.
 
 Secretary of State Madeline Albright told
 American Muslim leaders
 concerned over the linking of Ramadan and
 terrorism that "your views are
 being heard," and promised to hire more
 Muslims. 
 
 That prompted one Muslim leader to tell the
 Associated Press that the
 Department of State had subsequently been "very
 positive in delinking the
 issue of terrorism from faith."
 
 CIA officials would not speak with iviews.com
 for this story.

The Pakistani people do not sufferbecause of bribery alone, nor low economy alone, nor lack of foreigninvestment. Rather they suffer at the hands of exploitativecollaborators who take every opportunity to better their own conditionat the expense of the people, taking every bribe and morsel from theWestern colonialist powers.Pakistan knows well its problems, but lack the vision to see themsolved.

 it as a mercy and a blessing from God. Therefore theyagreed to live with the Islaamic army in Samarqand.Just imagine. An army conquers a city and enters it. The inhabitants of thatcity complain to the victorious government and the judges of that governmentdecide the case against the victorious army, and order the deportation,saying that they could not live there without the consent of the people ofthat city.Can either the ancient or modern history of mankind point out any war inwhich the fighting men kept themselves so strictly bound by the moral code,and followed such lofty principles of truth and justice, as demonstrated bythe sons of our civilization?...[Glittering Aspects of the Islamic Civilization,Mustafaas-Siba'I]

 Turkish police breaks up Islamic demonstration
  
 
 ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) Police broke up a rally
 by thousands of people who
 tried to form a human chain Sunday to protest
 a ban on Islamic religious
 dress at schools and public offices. 
 
 Police made 150 arrests, the Anatolia news
 agency reported. 
 
 The demonstrators, many holding colorful
 balloons, planned to join hands
 across the Bosporus bridge that links the
 European and Asian sides of the
 city. But riot police with dogs moved in to
 break up the demonstration as
 armored personnel carriers stood by and police
 helicopters flew over. 
 
 Security forces here have been criticized in
 the past for using excessive
 force to break up demonstrations. This time
 police were not carrying
 truncheons, Anatolia said. No injuries were
 reported. 
 
 A similar demonstration was held Sunday in the
 eastern city of Erzurum.
 Police arrested 25 university students who
 were demanding the right to
 wear Islamic head scarves on campus. 
 
 Although strict Muslims consider it obligatory
 for women to cover their
 heads, the secular government regards head
 scarves as a political
 statement in favor of Islamic rule. Last week,
 a high court ruled that a
 university had the right to bar a female
 student who wears an Islamic head
 scarf from classes.

n(http://www.rediff.com/election/1999/sep/20jk.htm)The slaughter of democracy: How the army forced people to vote in Kashmir^This is not an incident that I will forget in a hurry. ^^At 1630 hours, just half an hour before polling officially ends in Jammuand Kashmir's Baramulla constituency, I am passing through Natnussa, avillage in Kupwara district, on my way to Srinagar. Ahead, I see a smallprocession traversing the mud road that almost runs parallel to the one Iam taking. I take a closer look and, for the fourth time today, seeelection at gunpoint. There are women and children in the group. Men too, though their numberseems less. Around 70 people altogether. And shepherding them, guardingthem, are Rashtriya Rifles jawans. The villagers walk slowly, sullenly. Many of the 10 to 1!
!
5 armymen carrylong sticks besides their weapons. There are a few at the head, a fewbehind -- and the rest walk on the flanks, their sticks at the ready. Thevillagers are being taken to the polling station ahead. I have seenanimals being led like this, but this is the first time I witness the sametreatment being meted out to humans. Someone, you see, some bigshot authority wants to show the world thatKashmir polled decently. We stop the vehicle. It is too good a shot to miss. Throwing caution tothe winds, I take out my camera. Fiaz and Rashid, the journalists with me,follow suit. The reaction is swift and violent. Two jawans run towards us and snatchFiaz's flash. My camera is already in my bag. We tell them we are from thepress, that this is a public road, that we are allowed to take pictures.That doesn't help. There is some hollering from their part, and we areordered to leave the place. The procession by!
!
 now has stopped and alljawans are concentrating on us. "Aap log yahan se jaye," comes the order, "Or we will show you." I wave the Election Commission pass in their face. No dice. "Give me your camera," orders a jawan and makes a half-hearted grab for mybag. I push it behind me, and back towards the vehicle. "Aap yahan se pyar se jayoge ki nahi?" a junior commissioned officerstarts towards us, "Okay, come with us." Fiaz by now has managed to get his flash back claiming he hasn't shotanything. We get into our vehicle. As we start moving, more out ofpig-headedness than anything else, we click a couple more shots. There isa wild rush to stop us from the head of the procession. But we beat themto it. I look back to see the RR men gesticulating angrily. And the sheep beingled to the vote. I have started from Srinagar early in the morning. The road seems scrubbedof the overwhelming security !
!
presence it boasted on the 16th. Today, onlya minimum number of personnel is visible. Apparently in Kashmir, onsensitive days like this the forces are kept off the roads as much aspossible to avoid militant attacks. Just before Baramulla town I stop to pick up Rashid and Fiaz. Our vehicle,which sprouts a huge press sticker, is stopped by a group of men. They arethe first of the numerous people who stop my vehicle to complain about howsecurity personnel are forcing them to vote. All are ex-militants. Theywere taken into custody yesterday evening, some 300 of them, by the army. "They released us only this morning. They have ordered us to bring out allthe people to vote. Their officer told us they would give us time till1030 and if the people don't vote then, they would come and drag them out.They said that they would come in the night to check and if we didnt havethe ink mark on our finger they would beat us," a youth t!

"The way things are going," adds a youth, "we may pick up the gun again." A few kilometres ahead, in Baramulla town, which is observing anear-hundred per cent hartal in protest against the poll, we stumble upona blast site. A bomb had gone off here, near the general bus stand, 10minutes ago. Luckily, no one has been

-Hijri date: Wednesday 12 Jumaada al-THaany 1420 A.H.Forecasts of worldwide conflict on the Islamic fault-line^A prophet of doom by William Reese-Mogg(http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/99/09/20/timopnope01002.html?999)The world is full of violence. There are the massacres in East Timor; themurder of 300 Russians by terrorist bombs, probably related to Chechnya;the ethnic cleansing of the Albanians and then of the Serbs in Kosovo; theNato bombing itself, which has left Serbia devastated and Kosovo pollutedwith unexploded cluster bombs; the grumbling confrontation in Kashmirbetween India and Pakistan, both nuclear powers; Saddam Hussein's plansfor weapons of mass destruction; the Anglo-American response of sanctionsand bombs.

 violence is ending withworldwide violence, and the threat of worse to come. Those episodes of violence which seem of more than local relevance, orhave resulted in intervention by the United Nations or the United States,all have something in common that the world is very reluctant torecognise. In one sense, East Timor, Chechnya, Kosovo, Iraq and Kashmirare all parts of a single global problem - they are all conflicts betweenIslamic countries or ethnic groups and other cultures. They are not all confrontations between Islam and the West, though Iraq issuch a confrontation, and is recognised as such throughout the Islamicworld. Even the great Arab peacemaker, King Hussain of Jordan, said thatthe Gulf War was "a war against all Arabs and all Muslims and not againstIraq alone". The West is also deeply involved in the conflict in EastTimor; the East Timorese are Roman Catholics, and Australia is the leadingpeacekeeping!

 nation. Yet the other three conflicts are not of Islam against the West, but ofIslam against other world cultures. Kashmir is a conflict between theresurgent Islam of Pakistan and the resurgent Hinduism of India. Chechnyais a conflict between Islam and Russia, the core nation of Slav Orthodoxy.Kosovo is an even more extraordinary situation, a conflict between Islamand Slav Orthodoxy, in which the West intervened on the side of Islam. In 1993 Samuel Huntington, a Professor of International Studies atHarvard, published an article in Foreign Affairs arguing that after theend of the Cold War conflicts between civilisations would dominate thefuture of world politics. He gave warning of the seriousness of"fault-line conflicts" between civilisations, and was much criticised forhis observation that "Islam has bloody borders". East Timor, Chechnya,Kosovo, Iraq and Kashmir seemed to confirm that observation, whether ornot !
!
one thinks that Islam is the more to blame in any particular case. In 1996 Professor Huntington expanded his argument into a book, The Clashof Civilisations and the Remaking of the World Order (Simon and Schuster,16.99), which was described by Henry Kissinger as presenting "achallenging framework for understanding the realities of global politicsin the next century". To an alarming degree, Professor Huntington'sanalysis seems to be proving accurate. His thesis is that the people of the world have grouped into separatecivilisations which have been a powerful force of cohesion in early humanhistory. "Blood, language, religion, way of life, were what the (Ancient)Greeks had in common . . . of all the elements which define civilisations,however, the most important usually is religion." He identifies severalmajor contemporary civilisations: the Chinese, Japanese, Hindu, Islamic,Orthodox, Western and Latin American, all mor!

Each has its founding religion, around which thecivilisation is formed: Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam and Christianity.China and India are the core countries of their own civilisation; the Westis seen as double-headed between the United States and Europe; Islam hasno core country, which makes it more difficult to relate to from theoutside. Islam and the West, in different ways, present the world with thegreatest difficulties.
