Bismillah [IslamCity] Israeli Spokesman Says We Control Stupid Americans
‘You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel.” http://en.wordpress.com/tag/tzipora-menache/
Bismillah [IslamCity] The Left and Support for Islamist Anti-Colonial Resistance
The Left and Support for Islamist Anti-Colonial Resistance Speech delivered by Nadine Rosa-Rosso http://atheonews. blogspot. com/2009/ 02/left-and- support-for- islamist- anti\ .html http://atheonews. blogspot. com/2009/ 02/left-and- support-for- islamist- ant\ i.html The massive demonstrations in European capitals and major cities in support of the people of Gaza highlighted once again the core problem: the vast majority of the Left, including communists, agrees in supporting the people of Gaza against Israeli aggression, but refuses to support its political expressions such as Hamas in Palestine and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Left not only refuses to support them, but also denounces them and fights against them. Support for the people of Gaza exists only at a humanitarian level but not at the political level. Concerning Hamas and Hezbollah; the Left is mainly concerned with the support these groups have amongst the Arab masses, but are hardly interested in the fact that Israel's clear and aggressive intention is to destroy these resistance movements. From a political point of view we can say without exaggeration that the Left's wish (more or less openly admitted) follows the same line as the Israeli government's: to liquidate popular support for Hamas and Hezbollah. This question arises not only for the Middle East but also in the European capitals because, today, the bulk of the demonstrators in Brussels, London and Paris are made up of people of North African origin, as well as South Asian Muslims in the case of London. The reactions of the Left to these events are quite symptomatic. I will cite a few but there are dozens of examples. The headline of the French website 'Res Publica' following the mass demonstration in Paris on the 3rd of January read: We refuse to be trapped by the Islamists of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah! The article continued: Some activists of the left and far left (who only turned out in small numbers) were literally drowned in a crowd whose views are at odds with the spirit of the French Republican movement and of the 21st Century Left. Over 90% of the demonstrators championed a fundamentalist and communitarian worldview based on the clash of civilizations which is anti-secular and anti-Republican. They advocated a cultural relativism whose harmful tendencies are well known, particularly in England. Res Publica is neither Marxist or communist, but one would be hard pressed to find even the most remotely positive words about Hamas on Marxist websites. One does find formulations such as Whatever we think about Hamas, one thing is indisputable: the Palestinian people democratically elected Hamas to lead Gaza in elections held under international supervision. Looking further at what we can think of Hamas one finds on the websites of both the French Communist Party and the Belgian Labour Party an article entitled How Israel put Hamas in the saddle. We learn little more than the assertion that Hamas has been supported by Israel, the United States and the European Union. I note that this article was put online on January 2nd after a week of intensive Israeli bombardment and the day before the ground offensive whose declared aim was the destruction of Hamas. I will return to the quotation of Res Publica, because it summarizes quite well the general attitude of the Left not only in relation to the Palestinian resistance, but also in regard to the Arab and Muslim presence in Europe. The most interesting thing in this article is the comment in parentheses: 'the Left and far Left (who only turned out in small numbers)'. One might expect following such a confession some self-critical analysis regarding the lack of mobilisation in the midst of the slaughter of the Palestinian people. But no, all charges directed against the demonstrators (90% of the whole protests) are accused of conducting a war of civilizations. At all the demonstrations I participated in Brussels, I asked some demonstrators to translate the slogans that were chanted in Arabic, and they did so with pleasure every time. I heard a lot of support for the Palestinian resistance and denunciation of Arab governments (in particular the Egyptian President Mubarak), Israel's crimes, and the deafening silence of the international community or the complicity of the European Union. In my opinion, these were all political slogans quite appropriate to the situation. But surely some people only hear Allah-u-akbar and form their opinion on this basis. The very fact that slogans are shouted in Arabic is sometimes enough to irritate the Left. For example, the organizing committee of the meeting of 11 January was concerned about which languages would be used. But could we not have simply distributed the translations of these slogans? This might be the first step towards mutual understanding. When we demonstrated in 1973 against the pro-American military takeover by Pinochet in Chile, no one would have dared to tell the Latin
Bismillah [IslamCity] Hugo Chavez wins Venezuela referendum
Dear Hugo, congratulations for you and for your people for a victory that, by its size, is impossible to measure, - Fidel Castro Chavez wins Venezuela referendum http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas/2009/02/200921602959722265.html Chavez celebrated from his palace balcony in front of thousands of supporters [AFP] Venezuela's president has won a referendum to scrap term limits for elected officials, allowing him to seek re-election indefinitely. Hugo Chavez greeted cheering supporters at the presidential palace in Caracas on Sunday, moments after the country's electoral commission chief declared victory for the yes vote. Long live the revolution, shouted Chavez, as he stood pumping his fist on the palace balcony in front of thousands of flag-waving supporters. After leading supporters in singing the national anthem, he said: Today we opened wide the gates of the future. Venezuela will not return to its past of indignity. Tibisay Lucena, the chief of the national electoral council, said that with 94 per cent of the vote counted, 54 per cent had backed the president's proposal - an unbeatable lead. Festive mood There was a festive mood on the streets of the capital, as Chavez supporters began celebrating the result. In depth Caracas split over Chavez changes In pictures: Venezuela votes QA: Chavez referendum Profile: Hugo Chavez Join the debate on Venezuela's referendum Video: Venezuelans to vote on Chavez Students battle over Venezuela vote Video: Venezuela votes amid economic woes People here are ecstatic, Al Jazeera's Rob Winder, reporting from Chacao district in Caracas, said. There are hundreds of people in the street - people are riding around on motorbikes and dancing on the roofs of cars. Chavez said he received a first message of congratulations from Fidel Castro, Cuba's former president and a mentor of Chavez. Dear Hugo, congratulations for you and for your people for a victory that, by its size, is impossible to measure, Castro wrote, according to Chavez. Venezuela has been divided by the referrendum, which seeks to ammend five articles of the country's constitution to grant the president, mayors, local councilors, legislators and governors unlimited bids for re-election. The vote was Chavez's second attempt to remove the two-term cap for presidents. The win means he can seek re-election when his second term in office ends in 2013 and hold the presidency for as long as he continues to win elections. Without the ammendments, the president is only allowed to hold two consecutive terms, which would mean that Chavez, elected in 1998 and again in 2006, would have to step down at the end of his second mandate. Opposition defeated The result is a huge blow for Venezuela's opposition which had made gains in city and state elections last year. Opposition parties had pinned their hopes on a student movement spearheading the No is No vote, a reference to Chavez's failed effort in 2007 to push through constitutional changes to extend his presidency. Chavez supporters poured on to the streets of Caracas to celebrate the win on Sunday [AFP] Chavez had previously described winning the vote as key completing his transformation of Venezuela into a socialist state. His supporters say he has given poor Venezuelans cheap food, free education and quality health care and empowered the poor, after decades of US-backed governments that favored the rich. But analysts warn that Chavez's social programmes could be hard hit by tumbling oil prices. Independently from this referendum Chavez is facing a very acute financial and political crisis in the very near term, Gustavo Coronel, a former board member of the Venezuelan state oil company and an opponent to Chavez, told Al Jazeera. So far he has been instituting a policy of handouts that have been very good for him. He is very popular among the poor because he has received more than $700bn in the last 10 years, he said. [But] the oil prices have plummeted ... I doubt this referendum really means a victory for him in the longer term. I think that, in fact, he might be fighting for his life before the end of the normal term of 2012. About 100 international observers monitored the vote, but neither the Organisation of American States (OAS) nor the European Union had official observers in Venezuela.

Bismillah [IslamCity] New Airline to Cater to British Muslims
Airline launched to cater for British Muslims By telegraph.co.uk | Nov 03, 2008 A new airline catering for Britain's Muslim community will start flights from Stansted and Manchester to Dubai from December. Air Sylhet is backed by a group of private investors who are all British-Bangladeshi businessmen from the Sylhet region of Bangladesh. Flights from both airports to Dubai need to go through Vienna because the airline has based its operating company in the Austrian capital to secure traffic rights more easily. The launch comes at a time of intense uncertainty in aviation, following the failure in the past year of 28 airlines, including Stansted-based MaxJet and Eos, Luton-based SilverJet, Zoom, XL Airways, LTE Airways and, most recently, Sterling Airlines, which collapsed this week. Many people think we are crazy, said Kabir Khan, the new company's marketing and communications director. But we feel that the market we are serving is immune to these kinds of conditions. The airline will fly to destinations in high demand from the Muslim communities in Britain and central Europe, in particular for the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages to Mecca. It also hopes to sell seats to non-Muslims looking either for city breaks in Vienna or holidays to Dubai. Although there is a one-hour stopover at Vienna, passengers do not need to get off, so these are effectively direct services, Mr Khan said. The airline will use Airbus A320-200 aircraft, capable of carrying 180 passengers. Flights will initially be economy-class only, but the front 20 seats could be converted into business class if there is demand. Return fares will start at £500 to Dubai, £450 to Jeddah and £200 to Vienna, excluding charges and taxes. Flights will start on December 4 and will be on Mondays and Thursdays from Stansted to Vienna/Dubai, and on Fridays from Manchester. http://www.eturbonews.com/5961/airline-launched-cater-british-muslims 18_0.gif
Bismillah [IslamCity] TURKEY-ISRAEL TRADE VOLUME RISES BY 135% UNDER AKP
TURKEY-ISRAEL TRADE VOLUME RISES BY 135% UNDER AKP (ANSAmed) - ANKARA, FEBRUARY 2 - The trade volume between Turkey and Israel has reached to 3.3 billion dollars in 2008 from 1.4 billion dollars in 2002 when the Islamist-rooted Justice and Development came to power, daily Hurriyet reports. The official data showed that Turkey's exports reached 1.9 billion dollars in 2008 from 1.6 billion dollars in 2007. Turkey's imports from Israel rose 36% in 2008 to 1.4 billion dollars. One of the main trade items between two countries is the defense industry. Turkey had auctioned the modernization of the M-60 tanks to the Israel Military Industries (IMI) for 668 million dollars. The IMI also won the modernization of the 300 military helicopters for 57 million dollars. Turkey signed three other deals with Israel for the modernization of war jets. The financial amount of these agreements is 850 million dollars. The tension rose between Turkey and Israel after Ankara harshly criticized the Israel's operations in the Gaza Strip which left more than 1,300 people killed. The Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's reaction to storm out of the Gaza session in Davos is unlikely to effect the mutual relations, experts say. (ANSAmed). 2009-02-02 13:48 ansamed

Bismillah [IslamCity] Muzaffar, only missing person found in 7 yrs
Muzaffar, only missing person found in 7 yrs
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Ahmedabad/Muzaffar_only_missing_person_found_in_7_yrs/articleshow/4133281.cms
AHMEDABAD: Muzaffar Shaikh, lost in 2002 riots from Gulbarg Society when he was
only two-and-a-half-year-old, was found alive after over six years
and was brought up by a Hindu mom as Vivek. This is perhaps the most heartening
tale among all examples of human composure revealed in connection with this
grim incident.
This boy is the only one of all missing persons found during these seven years,
when at least 31 missing persons will be added to the official list of the dead
at Gulbarg Society.
Salim Shaikh and his wife Jebunnisa continued their search for six years for
their lost son, and ultimately found him in Vivek at Veena Patni's house in
Rakhial. Veena claimed that someone had come to her husband Vikram during
rioting at Meghaninagar and left the little kid with him. Vikram brought the
boy home, and he not only adjusted in this family, but also became a darling of
other siblings.
Not having courage to claim the boy's custody from Patnis, this Muslim couple
took the Supreme Court-appointed special investigation team's help to get their
son back.
DNA tests confirmed that Vivek was the lost Muzaffar. The couple approached a
lower court last year to obtain custody of the child, but the kid was not ready
to leave his Hindu mom. Courtroom drama compelled magistrate to conclude that
the boy should not forcibly be taken away from the woman who has looked after
him for so many years.
However, biological parents got an opportunity to meet the boy when Jebunnisa
moved high court, as judge helped the two families to reach to a compromise.
From last November, there has been an arrangement wherein the boy spends one
evening with his biological parents at their home in Vatwa, where they have
shifted after Gulbarg was destroyed.
In the last order, court made a provision for biological parents to keep the
boy from Saturday evening to Sunday afternoon. However, even after this
sanction, Shaikh religiously takes out his motorcycle every Sunday afternoon
and reaches Veena's house at Rakhial, where they spend some time with the boy.

Bismillah [IslamCity] GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE
GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE The creation of the Zionist State of Israel (on stolen Palestinian land), gave the world an excellent opportunity to examine the true nature of the Jews, and understand why so many Gentiles (around the globe) detest them. Their arrogance, cruelty, virulent racism, and brutality (often captured on film by foreign correspondents), gives us a true picture of a nation without a conscience, without a soul, without morality, and without a God. The arrogant Israeli Prime Minister, Menachem Begin, once stated the following: The Jewish Race is the MASTER RACE. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals; cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves. Menachem Begin merely uttered what all Zionists believe in their hearts. The uncivilized, inhuman, and brutal treatment of the innocent, unarmed, Palestinian civilians (since 1948) is a clear manifestation of the Zionists' evil and racist mentality. According to the prevailing Jewish mindset, all the despicable Israeli acts listed below, comply with the requirements of the Jewish Law. In other words, they are kosher. 1-Stealing 80% of the Palestinians' land is kosher. 2-Killing innocent, unarmed, Palestinian men, women, and children, is kosher. 3-Practicing Apartheid, and Genocide, in Palestine, is kosher. 4-Building an enormous dividing wall in Palestine, without the Palestinians' permission, is kosher. 5-Behaving like tyrannical, racist, bullies, is kosher. 6-Demolishing thousands of Palestinian homes (often with the occupants still inside), is kosher. 7-Burning thousands of Palestinian homes, orchards and farms, is kosher. 8-Unlawfully confiscating Palestinian properties, machinery and animals, is kosher. 9-Raping, and murdering, Palestinian girls, is kosher 10-Massacres and Atrocities inflicted upon the innocent, unarmed, Palestinian civilians, are perfectly kosher. 11-Torturing approximately 125,000 Palestinian prisoners, for decades, is kosher. 12-Forcing 1.3 million Palestinians (at gunpoint) to abandon their homes, their farms and their ancestral homeland, is kosher. 13-Breaking the arms and legs of children for throwing stones at Israeli tanks, is kosher. 14-Poisoning the water wells of Palestinians, with arsenic, to make them leave their homes and villages, is kosher. 15-Ignoring dozens of United Nations Resolutions, since 1948, is kosher. 16-Assasinating politicians, and leaders of the Palestinian Authority, is kosher. 17-Terrorising Palestinian families, in the middle of the night, with Gestapo style raids, is kosher. 18-Treating the Palestinian civilians like sub-human creatures, is kosher. 19-Using American helicopters to destroy Palestinian cars, with all the passengers still inside, is kosher. 20-Deliberately harassing, and bullying, Palestinian civilians at countless check points, and road blocks, is kosher. 21-Desecrating Mosques and Muslim Holy Books, is kosher. 22-Crushing demonstrators to death, with bulldozers, is kosher. 23-Renaming dozens of stolen Palestinian towns and villages with Hebrew names, is kosher. Behaving like demented, homicidal maniacs is perfectly normal for the Jews. It is the result of 4,000 years of inbreeding. How can wicked, mentally deranged, immoral, murderers claim to be members of the Human Race? How can a group of arrogant creatures (who belong to the same Semitic tribe as the Arabs), claim racial purity and racial superiority? Jews show their abysmal ignorance, and crass stupidity, when they accuse the Semite Arabs of anti-Semitism! How can cruel, evil, thugs who relentlessly break God's Ten Commandments claim to be God's Chosen People?. I regard their preposterous claim as GRIEVOUS BLASPHEMY. I honestly think that they are Satan's chosen lycanthropes. Apathy is an unforgivable sin. Evil spreads like a cancer when good men (and good women), do nothing to stop it. On Judgement Day, we will be asked to justify our total lack of compassion and callous indifference to the pain, suffering, persecution, injustice, and the bullying of millions of innocent fellow humans. How will we plead? AMADEUS ROMER http://www.australiafreepress.org/articles/gods_chosen_people.htm
Bismillah [IslamCity] part 4: Al-Islaam the Religion of Peace and Mercy
asalamualikum - part 4 - visit the thread to read last 3 parts:
http://www.albaseerah.org/forum/showthread.php?t=609
*Al-Islaam the Religion of Peace and Mercy
by
Shaikh Abdul Azeez As-Sa'eed
Delivered on July 23rd, 2005*
*Advice to those not in the Muslim lands in dealing with the People*
And you, O brothers, live in a land, a land other than the Muslim land and
what is hoped and expected from you is that you show mercy toward the people
and present the correct face of Islaam, and I will clarify for you some
affairs that you should follow so you will be guides to Islaam and cause for
the honour of Islaam and the Muslimeen:
*Your concern with the Disbeliever is in calling him to Islaam*
First of all make your concern with the non-believers that you guide them to
the religion of Allaah and that you present Islaam upon its correct face and
call them to it night and day without tiring, because the Prophet, peace be
upon, him said: *'If Allaah guides upon your hands one man it is worth more
for you than the red camels.'*[12]
And also Allaah said:
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلاً مِّمَّن دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً
وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
*{And who is better in speech than he who [says: My Lord is Allaah and
then stands firm (acts upon His Order), and]
invites (men) to Allaah's (Islaamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds,
and says: I am one of the Muslims.}* [Al-Fussilat 41:33]
*Call to Islaam upon Knowledge*
And second of all is that your calling should be upon insight, upon clear
insight from the Book and the Prophetic tradition of the Prophet i.e. his
Sunnah, peace be upon him, so do not attribute to Islaam anything that is
not from it and do not bring into it that which was not in it, but make
clear to the people, make clear to them Islaam in its correct and beautiful
form, that has room for all people.
*Do not kill the Disbelievers unjustly*
And upon you is staying away, O brothers, from what some of the ignorant
have fallen into of believing that the killing of the disbelievers, whether
they are fighting against you or peaceful toward you, killing them, their
believing that killing them is permissible. Even to the point that they
believe Islaam orders that, and that Islaam makes permissible for them to
break their contracts, truces and trusts that are between them and the
Muslims. Or that they enter into their lands with visas in which they agreed
when taking them, to abide by their laws and not harm them, and then they
decide to break this contract with the people that gave them the contract
and granted them security.
This does not mean that the believer that hates the people of rejection and
disbelief and hates their faith – that he does not stick to the
implementation of what the Religion has come with from mercy and justice,
even with the disbeliever. Nay it is upon him if he loves Allaah سبحانه و
تعالى and His Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم and calls to Islaam upon clear
insight that he holds fast to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and what he
came with in his dealing with the disbeliever, even though it is upon the
believer that he hates them because of what they hold in them of disgusting
disbelief and rejection, and he hates their religion and that he believes it
is false and incorrect.
*Encourage them to accept Islaam*
O brothers, the Prophet, peace be upon him, would become very happy if a
disbeliever became Muslim. The Prophet, peace be upon him, visited a Jewish
boy who was a neighbour of his and he advised him to enter into Islaam, and
the boy pronounced the testification that there is no Lord except Allaah and
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah. The boy said it and the Prophet was
happy, while he was leaving the house the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
*'All thanks is due to Allaah the One who saved him by me, from the
Hell-fire.'*[13] So the Prophet was happy for him and his Islaam. Likewise
the believer becomes happy for the Islaam of a disbeliever because he wants
that all of the creation become Muslim and be guided. He wants good for
them.
*First Matter - Fulfil your contracts with the Disbelievers*
Here we will note a point concerning a Muslim dealing with a disbeliever, so
that the Muslim does not fall into anything that Allaah سبحانه و تعالى and
His Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم hate: First it is upon the Muslim to
complete and be true to the contract between the Muslims and the
disbelievers, because Allaah سبحانه و تعالى said:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ أَوْفُواْ بِالْعُقُودِ
*{O you who believe! Fulfil (your) obligations}* [Al-Maa'idah 5:1]
And He سبحانه و تعالى said:
وَأَوْفُواْ بِالْعَهْدِ إِنَّ الْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْؤُولاً
*{…And fulfil (every) covenant. Verily, the covenant will be questioned
about.}* [Al-Israa' 17:34]
And He سبحانه و تعالى said:
وَأَوْفُواْ بِعَهْدِ اللّهِ إِذَا عَاهَدتُّمْ
*{And fulfil the Covenant of Allâh (Bai'ah: pledge for Islâm) when you have
covenanted…}* [An-Nahl 16:91]
And in the opposite of this, it
Bismillah [IslamCity] hadith: Prophet's Miracles
Narrated Anas: A bowl of water was brought to the Prophet while he was at Az-Zawra. He placed his hand in it and the water started flowing among his fingers. All the people performed ablution (with that water). Qatada asked Anas, How many people were you? Anas replied, Three hundred or nearly three-hundred. Sahi Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 772 -- Narrated Anas bin Malik: I saw Allah's Apostle at the 'time when the Asr prayer was due. Then the people were searching for water for ablution but they could not find any. Then some water was brought to Allah's Apostle and he placed his hand in the pot and ordered the people to perform the ablution with the water. I saw water flowing from underneath his fingers and the people started performing the ablution till all of them did it. Sahi Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 773 -- Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet went out on one of his journeys with some of his companions. They went on walking till the time of the prayer became due. They could not find water to perform the ablution. One of them went away and brought a little amount of water in a pot. The Prophet took it and performed the ablution, and then stretched his four fingers on to the pot and said (to the people), Get up to perform the ablution. They started performing the ablution till all of them did it, and they were seventy or so persons. Sahi Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 774 -- Narrated Humaid: Anas bin Malik said, Once the time of the prayer became due and the people whose houses were close to the Mosque went to their houses to perform ablution, while the others remained (sitting there). A stone pot containing water was brought to the Prophet, who wanted to put his hand in it, but It was too small for him to spread his hand in it, and so he had to bring his fingers together before putting his hand in the pot. Then all the people performed the ablution (with that water). I asked Anas, How many persons were they. He replied, There were eighty men. Sahi Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 775 -- Narrated Salim bin Abi Aj-Jad: Jabir bin 'Abdullah said, The people became very thirsty on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty). A small pot containing some water was in front of the Prophet and when he had finished the ablution, the people rushed towards him. He asked, 'What is wrong with you?' They replied, 'We have no water either for performing ablution or for drinking except what is present in front of you.' So he placed his hand in that pot and the water started flowing among his fingers like springs. We all drank and performed ablution (from it). I asked Jabir, How many were you? he replied, Even if we had been one-hundred-thousand, it would have been sufficient for us, but we were fifteen-hundred. Sahi Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 776 -- Narrated Al-Bara: We were one-thousand-and-four-hundred persons on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty), and (at) Al-Hudaibiya (there) was a well. We drew out its water not leaving even a single drop. The Prophet sat at the edge of the well and asked for some water with which he rinsed his mouth and then he threw it out into the well. We stayed for a short while and then drew water from the well and quenched our thirst, and even our riding animals drank water to their satisfaction. Sahi Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 777 -- Narrated Anas bin Malik: Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, I have noticed feebleness in the voice of Allah's Apostle which I think, is caused by hunger. Have you got any food? She said, Yes. She brought out some loaves of barley and took out a veil belonging to her, and wrapped the bread in part of it and put it under my arm and wrapped part of the veil round me and sent me to Allah's Apostle. I went carrying it and found Allah's Apostle in the Mosque sitting with some people. When I stood there, Allah's Apostle asked, Has Abu Talha sent you? I said, Yes. He asked, With some food? I said, Yes Allah's Apostle then said to the men around him, Get up! He set out (accompanied by them) and I went ahead of them till I reached Abu Talha and told him (of the Prophet's visit). Abu Talha said, O Um Sulaim! Allah's Apostle is coming with the people and we have no food to feed them. She said, Allah and His Apostle know better. So Abu Talha went out to receive Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle came along with Abu Talha. Allah's Apostle said, O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have. She brought the
Bismillah [IslamCity] Our Role Today is The Same as the Role of the Great Messengers of Allah
Our Role Today is The Same as the Role of the Great Messengers of Allah Many of us wonder today: What is our role as Muslims in this non-Islamic society? Asking this question is a good thing in itself because it indicates the beginning of the awareness in the mind of the Muslims, after a long absence. This is an important and a dangerous question because it searches for an answer for a fundamental and a vital issue in our lives; if the correct answer is not found, then we will end up with the wrong one which may threaten our future and the future of Islam in America other non Muslim countries. There is a good chance that the wrong answer will be found because of many factors: •The ignorance of many Muslims in the reality of Islam and its role in saving humanity. •The lack of awareness of the reality of this age, the status of the Muslim Ummah, the events that occur on the world level, the conspiracies of the enemies to put down and destroy Islam and end its role in the world or give it a marginal role by redefining Islam with a new fake definition. •The defeated mentality is dominant among many Muslims today. This came as a result of defeat and the absolute astonishment at what the non-Muslims have as civilization, technologies, and even culture. •The vain desires, the love of this worldly life and the hatred of death, by undervaluing the hereafter, influenced the minds and personality of many Muslims. •The many misguiding and forced solutions presented to Muslims by their enemies who work very hard in a deceiving manner to tell us what is our role today in this society. These enemies forced the wrong and false answers onto us deceivingly in many ways. They also removed the correct original answer and attacked it by describing it and the people who believe and carry this answer with the worst descriptions. This is so that the Muslim will get away from them and hate the correct answer instead of adopting it and working to establish it. Allah (swt) says in Surat Al-Anfal, (Verse 30), what can be translated as, They were plotting and Allah too was planning, and Allah is the Best of the planners. •What makes things more complicated and the vision more erroneous is that some loyal sincere Muslims fell into the trap that the enemies of Islam have set up and skillfully designed. These sincere Muslims with their followers and those whom they influence took the wrong way that was defined for them. These Muslims became the fuel and the workers in a conspiracy that they did not plan and will not benefit from either in the short term or the long term. Furthermore, if someone pointed out their mistakes, that they are adopting, they would find justification for the errors in the religious texts that justify their position. This is done without deep investigation and verification until we become like the prophet (sws) said in a trial that makes the intellectuals confused. What is our role in this age and in this society as Muslims? To answer this question, first of all, we do not need to devise a new role. This is because our role had already been defined to us by Allah (swt) a long time ago. Many great messengers played that role, and achieved many reforms and saved the humanity throughout the course of history. All we need today is to rediscover and explore this role and know its characteristics by removing the ruins and debris away from it until we can clear its beautiful picture, and then to adopt it and behave according to it. If we do that, then we will save ourselves and the entire humanity with the help of Allah (swt) like the messengers did. All of us know and believe that Allah (swt) the One who created the creations did not leave people without guidance; on the contrary, he devised to all humanity a complete and comprehensive system of life. Which was carried by the messengers from one generation to the next. This role of the messengers had never changed or altered with the differences of age or place that they were sent in from Noah until the prophet Mohammad (sws)the seal of all prophets and messengers. Today, Muslims are in fact the followers and true inheritors of those messengers and are the extension of truthfulness. Allah (swt) has sealed the messages and the messengers with the prophet Mohammad (sws) and made their role to be played by the messengers' heirs who are the Muslims till the Day of Judgment. This role has not changed with time nor has it changed with place; its phases, goals and ends have remained unchanged. What have changed are its means and tools that may differ according to time and place. Now, I will present the role of the messengers and their tasks so that we know our role in this life. Conveying the message in the clearest way: The messengers are the ambassadors of Allah (swt) to his servants and the carriers of his revelations. Their first task is to deliver and convey this trust which they carried to the servants
Bismillah [IslamCity] ruling: The knowledge required by one who calls people to Allaah
Question # 126992: The knowledge required by one who calls people to Allaah, may He be exalted Question: What is the knowledge needed by the one who calls people to Allaah, and who enjoins what is good and forbids what is evil?. Answer: Praise be to Allaah. It is essential for the person who calls people to Allaah, and enjoins what is good and forbids what is evil to have knowledge because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): Say (O Muhammad ??? ): This is my way; I invite unto Allaah (i.e. to the Oneness of Allaah - Islamic Monotheism) with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me (also must invite others to Allaah, i.e. to the Oneness of Allaah - Islamic Monotheism with sure knowledge) [Yoosuf 12:108]. Knowledge is what Allaah says in His Holy Book, or what His Messenger (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) says in his saheeh Sunnah. So one should learn the holy Qur'aan and the Sunnah, to find out what Allaah has enjoined and what Allaah has forbidden, and to know the way in which the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) called people to Allaah and denounced evil, and the way in which his Companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) called people. He can gain insight into that by studying the books of hadeeth, and paying attention to the holy Qur'aan, and studying the words of the scholars on this topic, because they discussed it in great depth and explained what is obligatory. The one who wants to set himself up as a caller must pay attention to this matter, so that he will have proper insight into the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him), so that he will put things in their right places: he will call people to good when it is appropriate, and enjoin what is good when it is appropriate, with insight and knowledge, so that he will not denounce evil in a way that is more evil than it, and so that he will not enjoin what is good in a manner that will result in an evil worse than not doing the good thing to which he is calling people. The point is that it is essential for him to have knowledge so that he will do things properly. End quote. Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Baaz (27/340) http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/126992
Bismillah [IslamCity] The wrong-half of the Lebanon
While , the truth-seekers are not allowed to cross over to Gaza the Truth itself is still imprisoned inside Gaza. While , fascism is growing ever so rapidly in Israel the neo-fascist may form a coalition-government with the extreme-fascists but without the pseudo-fascists. While the wrong-half-of-Lebanon commemorates the death of Rafik el Harriri , the speakers were : 1- his own son who is simultaneously the step-son of King Fahd and whose Godfather is Monsieur Jacques Chirac 2- An ex-President who has elected on the back of Israeli-Tanks 3- A Feudal-Druze-War-Lord who claims who claims to be a socialist because his father was one. 4- A Christian-War-Lord who was trained and armed by Israel who has killed more Christians than Muslims. 5- Another Christian leader whose father was on the payroll of MI6 and whose bother was slaughtered (1981) by the Christian-War-Lord mentioned here-above (Nr. 4) and whose father was saved by the US Marines-fleet (1958) and Arafat's Helicopter has saved the same father ( 1977 ) 6- Speakers Nr. 4 and Nr. 3 have done nothing else but than waging personal-sectarian-wars against each other , 17 years long one of them occupied my home town and later, the second , slaughtered its inhabitants. And the irony and the masquerade is that this group calls itself the Cedar Revolution and or the Future as if the Future is theirs only and as if the Cedar was also bought by the Harriri Clan... I prefer that someone else to teach us about democracy and freedoms.like Mahmoud Abbas or Husny Mubarak...for example !!
