Jamada al-Awwal 4,1429/ May 10, 2008, #28
"O people! Be aware of your Guardian Lord who created you
from a single being, and created from it, its mate, and from
them twain scattered (like seeds), countless men and women -
Revere Allah through whom you demand your mutual rights and
revere the WOMBS that gave you birth: For Allah ever
watches over you." [The Qur'an 4:1]
New Trend greets mothers. Every day is Mother's Day.
Islam puts the mother above other humans. Paradise is at the
feet of the mother, said the Prophet, pbuh. Every one of us
had/has a mother. So hail the mothers. Look at all the
great mothers in Islamic texts: Hagira, r.a., mother of
Ismail, r.a., Maryam, pbuh, mother of Jesus, pbuh, Amna,
r.a., mother of Muhammad, pbuh, Khadija, r.a., mother of
Fatima, r.a., Fatima, r.a., mother of Hasan and Hussain, r.a.
for both, Umm Ruman, r.a., mother of Ayesha, r.a., Asma,
r.a., mother of Abdullah ibn Zubair, r.a. for both, and
countless other great mothers.
In our own times, we have the mothers of Palestinians urging
their children to stand against Israel, the mothers of
Somalis keeping their children alive and urging resistance,
the mothers of Kashmiris urging their young ones to fight the
Indian juggernaut, the mothers of Taliban urging their
husbands and children to defeat NATO, the mothers of Iraqis
keeping the resistance alive, and victorious, after 5 years
facing a superpower, and lest we forget, the mothers of
Chechens keeping the flame of resistance alive from
generation to generation.
Gulen of Turkey: Astonishing letter. We were right about the
fabrication of "moderate Islam."

Jamaat al-Muslimeen leader Warns
Hidden Hands Presenting Hizbullah-Israel Confrontation in
Lebanon as Shia-Sunni Conflict: Siniora/Hariri are Sunnis in
name but in fact are U.S.-men
May 10, 2008: Imam Badi Ali [Islamic Shoora of Jamaat
al-Muslimeen] rejected U.S. media claims that the conflict in
Lebanon is sectarian. All U.S. TV media, without exception,
are presenting the latest fighting in Beirut as Shi'a-Sunni
conflict. Imam Ali said there is not a shred of truth in such
reports. The fighting began when the Siniora government tried
to shut down the communication system of Hizbullah which the
Islamic movement uses to monitor the movement of CIA and
Mossad agents into Lebanon, in particular through Beirut
international airport.
Imam Badi Ali said, the real conflict in Lebanon is between
Hizbullah, which stands for Islamic resistance, and Israel
which is backed by crusader elements in the U.S. The front
for the Israelis is the openly pro-U.S. Siniora regime.
[During the Israeli assault on Lebanon, this regime did
nothing but cry and beg.] The U.S. media are presenting
Siniora and Saad Hariri as Sunnis fighting the Shi'ite
Hizbullah. These groups in the Lebanese regime are not
practicing Muslims. It is a shame and a lie to call them
Sunnis or followers of the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, pbuh.
Their regime is allowing the setting up of night clubs and
liquor bars and are totally against the implementation
of Shar'ia.
Sa'ad Hariri has been spending large sums of money to to help
sectarian Sunni scholars get books published against Shi'ism.
I don't object to debates and dialogue with Shi'as but these
books, under Hariri's auspices, have gone beyond all limits
of decency and are presenting Shi'as as worse than Jews. Here
we can see the hand of Zionism working from behind the screen
of religion. The rulers of Arab countries are interfering
with the work of Muslim scholars and are trying to use them
to discredit Hizbullah.
Shaikh Nasrallah and Hizbullah fought very well against
Israeli invasion. That is the real issue for the U.S., Israel
and the Zionist media. They want to isolate Hizbullah from
the Muslim world and then to attack them from within
and outside.
Muslims should be aware that American imperialism and Zionism
have big plans in the Middle East. They want to destroy
Hizbullah and then create new "countries" in the Middle East
in fulfillment of the historic betrayal known as the
Sykes-Picot agreement. They want Sunnis to kill Shias and
Shias to kill Sunnis. They are even planning to divide Saudi
Arabia by inflaming the Shia-Sunni differences there.
The victory of Hizbullah, led by Shaikh Nasrallah, against
Israel is a matter of pride for all Muslims, Shi'a and Sunni.
The Israelis know this and will try everything to break
Muslim support for the Hizb.
Thinking outside the Racial Box: by Kaukab Siddique, Ph.D
The Election Campaign and Opportunism Among U.S. Muslims:
Siraj Wahhaj and Abdul Malik Mujahid as Examples
U.S. Muslims often take on and are influenced by the thinking
of racial groups in America. Racism is the foundational
reality here and only a systematic adherence to Islam can
save us from it. Just because we are Muslims does not mean
that we will be immune to the sickness in the roots of
America coming from 400 years of slavery and the holocaust of
Native Americans. Muslims who do not read the Qur'an on an
ongoing basis and do not study the life of the Prophet, pbuh,
every week, if not every day, can easily be affected by
America's mindset.
African-Americans have often complained, justifiably in most
cases, that immigrant Muslims take on the race related values
of the majority "White" culture . Serious African-American
scholars also apply the same rules to African-Americans who
join the Republican [often code for right wing, tinged with
racism] side. We have the Justice of the Supreme Court who is
African American, the woman, highly educated, working for
Bush, and of course the "hero" of the First Gulf War who
helped Bush "prove" the WMD story as the prelude to the
second war and occupation of Iraq. All three are condemned by
African-American scholars as lackeys of oppressors.
Thus even non-Muslims realize that one who joins a power
structure becomes its servant and should not be seen as "our"
brother or sister "in there" of whom we can be proud.
Unfortunately upper class U.S. Muslims have a group of
opportunists among them who for decades have been prostrating
in front of the power of the White House-Pentagon-FBI. They
try to convince U.S. Muslims that if a person with a Muslim
name joins the power structure, then that's our man "in
there." We saw this game being played by ISNA's CAIR when
they tried to glorify Keith Ellison. They did not tell the
Muslim community that Ellison was such an Uncle Tom that the
Jews dumped a Jew in the same race in favor of Ellison. He
started his campaign from a Synagogue. After he got elected,
his most important trips have been to Israel [for holidaying
in August 2007] and more recently to Karzai in Kabul to
encourage the U.S. on the fight against the forces
of Islam.
But, Ellison was at least a Muslim in name!
Now we have Obama, a non-Muslim, blatant supporter of Israel,
who has dumped his own pastor and denounced Min. Farrakhan
who influenced the pastor. What excuse can there be for
supporting Obama. Long time opportunist and ISNA man, Siraj
Wahhaj, has come out openly in support of Obama. Siraj has
worked for DECADES as central committee leader of ISNA, in
particular to generate funds for ISNA through his impressive
rhetorical speeches. He helped Zionist-Jewish Judge Mukasey
[now Attorney General] put the great Islamic leader and
scholar of the Qur'an, Dr. Omar 'Abdel Rahman in prison
through false witnessing about which he boasted later to the
Wall Street Journal.
In his latest move, Siraj Wahhaj has committed blasphemy
against the Prophet Muhammad, pbuh. He claims, on his web
site [and in his email] that it is okay for U.S. Muslims to
take part in elections [and support Obama] because the
Prophet, pbuh, undertook the treaty of Hudaibiya with the
kuffar! This claim by Siraj is outright distortion of Islam
and blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad, pbuh.
Note that the treaty of Hudaibiya was a cease fire agreement
which aimed at peaceful co-existence instead of war. There
was ABSOLUTELY no question of the Prophet, pbuh, COOPERATING
with the oppressors. [Has Siraj been fighting, using weapons,
that now he wants to invoke Hudaibiya?] The very thought of
cooperation with them is unthinkable in Islam. It would be a
clear violation of the Qur'an. Allah Almighty has forbidden
even a slight, mental, inclination towards the oppressors,
let alone actual PHYSICAL COOPERATION with them. No Muslim
can even think of the Prophet, pbuh, cooperating with Abu
Jahal or Abu Lahab or even Abu Sufian and Hind.
The Qur'an leaves no doubt about the matter:
"And incline not to those who oppress, or the Fire will touch
you, and you have no protectors other than Allah, nor shall
ye be helped." [11:113]
What excuse can Siraj have for supporting Obama who is an
agent of Israel? None, as far as Islam is concerned.
I have nothing personal against Siraj but his activities over
DECADES [as part of ISNA's central committee] have helped the
pro-government ISNA group to no end. Look up ISNA's
publications to see how highly they value him. This clique
has unabashedly brought the FBI right into Muslim
communities, creating the impression that there might be
"terrorists" within Muslim communities. Just when Muslim
unity is needed more than ever, Siraj announced, with the
full blessing of ISNA, that he is setting up a Muslim
organization for African-Americans.
Dear reader, the Prophet, pbuh, rejected his own relatives
who were unbelievers, and loved freed slaves like Bilal,
r.a., Zayd, r.a., Salman, r.a., Suhaib, r.a., and many others
who were not related to him or his race. There is no place
for race-related activity in Islam to link up with oppressors
and unbelievers.
It's not that Siraj is the only opportunist in Muslim ranks.
Immigrants are doing it too, quite unabashedly. In Chicago,
there is Abdul Malik Mujahid, from Pakistan, who has joined
the Democratic National Committee [DNC]. The Zionists love
him so much, they elected him unanimously [according to his
own paper]. Is it a surprise that Abdul Malik Mujahid is
telling U.S. Muslims NOT TO PROTEST against insulting
cartoons of the Prophet, pbuh, coming out of Denmark and
Holland. He advises U.S. Muslims to be silent. A DNC member
telling Muslims not to protest! How long will these "leaders"
mislead our communities? Does the Qur'an say we should be
silent when we see wrong being done?
I have nothing against Mujahid [what a name for an
opportunist!] but I invite him to tell New Trend readers how
he started his business. Where did the money come from?
As before, our pages are open to a response from Siraj Wahhaj
and "Mujahid" up to 300 words.

Siddique's comment on Siraj's misuse of the Qur'an, please

Our America
Zionists Supporting Obama. Seeming fraud in the Gary,
Indiana, vote ignored.
Why Hillary's rant against Iran?
by a New Trend observer
May 8, 2007. The liberal left wing of the Zionist
establishment has been working feverishly in support of
Barack Obama. CNN's Anderson and Larry King, MSNBC's Keith
Olbermann and Chris Matthew, with their well funded and well
heeled teams of pseudo journalists have been blasting away at
Hillary Clinton. At times they forget that they are supposed
to be reporters, not organizers, and openly call on Hillary
to get out of the race!
After Rev. Wright's words exposed the pro-establishment slant
of Obama, the Zionist media went to work to disconnect Obama
from Wright, to "clean up" Obama and to shut down the Wright
story altogether. All this was done well in time for the
North Carolina and Indiana primaries. Even Fox TV seems to
have received a signal to stop attacking Obama. Amazing but
true, Fox let go off the juicy Wright story, although
O'Reilly tried to compensate by interviewing Hillary.
SOMETHING FISHY happened during the Indiana primary. There
were no results from the city of Gary for 4 and a half hours
after polls closed. About 15 minutes after midnight, suddenly
all 27,000 votes from Gary supporting Obama were suddenly
released, cutting Hillary's lead by half. It appeared that
ALL of Gary's voters, African Americans, had voted for Obama.
Or, it seems, the votes were bundled and released. Fake votes
are no longer traceable because there is no paper trail in
the latest voting mode. The MAJOR MEDIA reporting this
incredibly late result from Gary hardly questioned it. CNN
asked the mayor of Gary, a staunch Obama supporter, and
received a very improbable reply that the delay was owing to
th early voting. This sounds improbable because the early
voting was only 11,000 votes. Looks like the Zionists
supporting Obama got away with something which smells
of fraud.
Hillary Clinton has been signaling that she is losing
Jewish-Israeli support. The crazy comments she made about
"obliterating Iran" were meant to reassure Israel and
American Jews that they should not give up on her. The Iran
comments were empty of content. She said, "if Iran gets
nuclear weapons...." Even Bush's experts agree that Iran is
10 to 15 years away from developing nuclear weapons. Next she
said: "If Iran uses these weapons to attack Israel...." Has
Iran ever even suggested that it would attack Israel? The
answer is: NEVER. Has Iran ever fired even ONE SHOT against
Israel. NEVER! Is there ANY Iranian in Gtmo or any Israeli
prison for involvement in any fighting? NO.
Can Iran be "obliterated" with a nuclear bomb or even ten
nuclear bombs? Of course tens of thousands can be killed in
any nuclear attack, especially if it targets cities. However,
Iran is a vast country and for Hillary to think that it can
be "obliterated" by a nuclear attack indicates that her sense
of geography is very poor.
What Hillary said about Iran was nothing more than empty
rhetoric. The U.S. has not been able to "obliterate" Iraq, a
much smaller country, although the U.S. has been dropping
impressive bomb loads on Iraq for FIVE YEARS. Instead, the
vast American military armada is stuck in Iraq and may be
difficult to extricate.
The real meaning of Hillary's threat is that she knows the
Israelis are dumping her and supporting Obama. She
was desperate!
The Secret Problem Hillary Clinton has with Israelis:
A Woman Scorned............
One of New Trend's readers is too ashamed to give his/her
name but makes an interesting point about why the Zionists
have turned against Hillary. Our reader says that the
Zionists are afraid that if elected, Hillary would take
revenge for the Monica Lewinsky affair. She knows that
Lewinsky was sent by the Israelis to trap, demean, disgrace
and impeach Bill Clinton. Lewinsky was a Jewish woman and
knew of Bill's weakness. Bill fell into the trap and his
enemies dragged out his shameful story for months.
[By contrast Bush has not been impeached for the cataclysmic
9.11 attacks when 19 Arab men broke through America's
elaborate security and intelligence web/network and delivered
blows which changed the course of history. Bush was such a
favorite of the Jews that even a trillion dollar blow in ONE
DAY did not open him up to impeachment and he is intent on
passing on his Zionist legacy to whoever is going to be
his successor.]
Hillary kept very quiet about the disgrace her husband was
subjected to. She suffered terribly but said nothing. Can a
woman with such a powerful mind forgive such outrages and not
take revenge if she attains to power? Our reader thinks that
the Jews cannot take the risk of her gaining the candidacy
and going on to win, which she could easily do against McCain
who is no match for her.
A woman with a mind of her own neither forgives nor forgets,
says our reader. The Clintons, mother, father and daughter,
are a formidable team. Something will come of their efforts.
Jewish elites always try to preempt. They would be foolish
not to think of Hillary seeking revenge.
The Auschwitz 'Gas Chamber' Illusion
Nicholas Kollerstrom - CODOH
http://www.codoh.com/newrevoices/nrillusion.html
As surprising as it may sound, the only intentional mass
extermination program in the concentration camps of WW2 was
targeted at Germans. From April, 1945 five million Germans
were rounded up after surrendering, and deliberately starved
until well over one million had died, in French and
American-run concentration camps -- an event soon erased from
the history books. There was, in contrast, never a centrally
coordinated Nazi program of exterminating Jews in Germany.
Lethal gas chambers did not function in German labour-camp.
Stories of "gassing" are illusions.

New Trend was right about Gulen: "Interfaith Dialogue" is
a big Lie when Iraq, Afghanistan are Occupied by Crusaders
Assalamun aleykum brother,
NY Times May 4, 2007 published an article about GULEN schools
in Pakistan.
I read your article about "Turkish Study Group Looks
Critically at Gulen and Ingrid Mattson"
NewTernd Mag. #1214
. It was nice criticism.
As you know Gulen movement is offshoot group from Nursi
movement. Turkish Nursi Movement members do not accept Gulen
and his ideas. They rejected him because They said he is
allied to ABD,Israil and UK etc (Western). Regular Turkish
muslims do not trust them; they thought Gulen and his
leadership sell out peoples.
Gulen's ideas look like those of Mirza Ghulam [Qadiani]. He
is promoted by Vatican and other western leaders.
He started interfaith dialogue with Jews and Christians in
Turkey. Later on Muslims woke up. Right now Turkish Muslims
do not believe in interfaith dialogue after Irak and
Afghanistan occupation. They said Gulen is friends of
missionaries and western powers like Mirza Gulam
[Qadiani] was.

Washington, DC: One ordinary day in
Zionist-controlled America
Racism and Police Victimization of Muslim Woman:
First Person Account from her Husband.
Not allowed to feed her infant.
The below scenario is from my (Mark Abdul Wali
ibn-Timberlake) perspective on the incident that happen on
Friday, May 02, 2008 at around 12:45am. Between my wife
(Octavia Washington) and numerous Washington, D.C.
Metropolitan Police Officers part of the 6th District in
Ward 7.
At around the time stated above my wife was pulled over by a
MPD officer in front of our place of residence. Upon seeing
the flashing lights I went to my window and notice it was her
being confronted by the police. I admittedly went outside to
see why she was being stop. The officer after a period of
hesitation stated that she was being pulled over for the
tinted glass on the front windows on the van. I told the
officer that the car passed inspection with the windows like
that; he said that that was false. My wife explained the same
and he seemed to be agitated and ask for her licenses,
registration, and vehicle insurance. After some time of
locating these items the officer emerged from his vehicle
with the light meter to test the tint; he asked did we know
the laws regarding tint in DC? I explained to him I did. He
test the windows and said that the tint was illegal; he gave
me the citation for the windows and said that we need to
take the car through inspections in 8 days or be fined
$1,000.00. After a brief conversation about that a second
female officer was walking towards my wife in the car. The
officer citing us asked did we know her license was
suspended; we both said no and explained to him that we never
received anything in the mail.
At this point he began to ask my wife if she had any drugs,
shoe strings, and anything that could possible hurt them in
her position; she stated no. upon hearing this and
understanding what was about to happen I asked the officer if
anything other then her being locked up could happen because
our baby in the house is exclusively breast fed. He said no,
I even ask if I could go in her place he again seem agitated
and even annoyed at this point and ask me was I driving, I
said no however our child needed to be fed. My wife asked
could she feed him before she left he again replied no.
As the lady officer frisked my wife they began to motion for
her head scarf (Hijab) and my wife explained to them that she
wasn't taking it off in front of him, the male officer seemed
to be more angered and the female officer permitted her to
keep her Hijab on (Hijab Defined: Often used to
describe the head scarf or modest dress worn by women, who
are required to cover everything except face and hands in the
sight of anyone other than the immediate family.)
From here my wife told me about her trip to the 6th District
she said that the officer was driving at high rates of speed
running stop signs all without his emergency lights on. Due
to the recent accidents involving emergency responders
without their sirens on my wife was scared.
She said that they arrived to 6th District and the arresting
officer dropped her off and left. During this time my son is
now home crying because he was hungry I didn't want to awake
our other two children because our oldest daughter had school
the next morning. I called my wife's mother and asked her to
come over to watch the children so that I could go to 6D to
see when my wife could be released.
When I arrived to 6D a Male Officer was at the front desk and
I explained to him what just happened and the fact that our
baby was crying due to hunger. He said it wasn't nothing that
could be done she was the last to come in therefore she would
be the last to be processed. By this he said she probably
wouldn't be released until late morning. I then ask since
this is the case can my son come in here to breast feed he
stated no because they had no space for that. I then asked
can she go in the community room to feed him then he again
replied no because they were understaffed and they would need
two officers in the room with her. I then asked can I bring
her breast pump to her, he said no. Now I'm kind of
frustrated and I went on to say young women who have babies
in prison don't immediately have their baby taken they give
that child time to wean off of its mother. He then said he
knows but this isn't prison he then said that he would go
talk with his Sergeant. After awhile he returned and gave me
the following option he said, she can be moved to the top of
the processing list if I could pay a $500.00 bond tonight he
asked how long it would take me to come up with that type of
money. I told him that I had that on me now he said okay and
went to the back again.
While he was in the back I could see that he was processing a
few people I motioned for another officer to come to the
front desk to assist me a female officer came to the desk and
I explained to her what was going on and I also told her
about all the work that I do in the community along with MPD
and other organizations. At this point I could see in the
back and I noticed my wife, I was hurt at the fact that she
had no hijab on I ask why doesn't she have her head
scarf on? The female officer notice my anger and my wife
screamed, "They took it from me". The female officer asked
her fellow colleagues why did they take her scarf? They said
after a brief moment that it was a suicide concern when I
heard this I said that she's not going to commit suicide.
They said that it's for her safety as well as the other
prisoners, the female officer told me that it was too long
for her to keep I then ask what was the proper length and
could they provide her with the proper head covering? The
female officer couldn't answer the question about the length
and also said that they didn't have anything she could cover
with she then asked me if I had something I told her all that
I had was the shirt on my back.
At this point I noticed another female officer pick up a
phone and then she yelled out that Mrs. Washington (My wife)
didn't need the $500.00 and that she could be processed out.
At this point instead of them giving her the head scarf while
she was still in the back they brought her out front with her
hair and her cleavage showing. Then at this point they
returned her property. My wife was clearly hurt by this whole
ordeal and she broke down crying once she got in the car
with me.
All that we ask is that if anything can come out of this by
the Grace of Allah it will be blessing even more so that the
next sister faced in a similar predicament will not have to
be degraded, disrespected and even traumatized by those who
say that they are here to protect and serve. And given the
chance to protect a mother and child they took the mother
left the child hungry and exposed her (the mother) to
treatment outside of her religious principles. I ask if she
were a Catholic Nun would she still be treated the same? Not
only that she said they questioned her asking was she born
here and how long has she been in the county? My wife is
American her family as well they came over on the same slave
ships as many of our fore parents. Lastly, no one, not the
arresting officer or the officer's at the district could tell
us why her license was suspended.
What you can do to Ensure that our Sisters are not
Mistreated in the future.
I'm sending this email to you all because on May 14th the PSA
(Police Service Area) 607 will be having their monthly
meeting. We are asking that we all attend this meeting in
full representation of the Muslim Community. We have
to show the powers that be that we have a voice and
situations like this will not be tolerated. In the SE part of
Washington DC you not only have more Hispanics and Caucasians
but you are now seeing more Muslims and our Police Department
needs to be more culturally sensitive and aware that we are
all not the same and therefore shouldn't be treated as such.
Especially when they have special police units that cater to
the Gay
http://www.gllu.org
and Asian, Pacific Islander Communities
http://apia.dc.gov/apia/cwp/view,A,3,Q,525689.asp
The Prophet SALLALLAHOU ALAYHI WASALLAM advised
us to change any situation with our hands, then with our
voice, and then at least abhor it in our hearts. With this
being said let's begin to make a change in the system so that
the next sister, be it you or someone else will not have to
go through this same ordeal. Let them see us and let them
hear how we feel about this situation.
In comparison Sister Octavia can be viewed as our modern day
Rosa Parks the only difference is that this movement want
be televised.
InShaAllah please attend this meeting and if you can't
forward this request to a brother and/or sister that can.
Lastly, but not least make Du'a for us and if you have
any questions and/or concerns please feel free to contact me.

A Muslim Woman's Poem in Praise of Allah on her graduation
from Howard University, Washington, DC. May 9, 2008.
I EXHALE
by Maryam Sharron Muhammad [Washington, DC]
Bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim,
O Allah, I thank you for teaching me to cover my body
Not that it is unclean, or a temptation;
But because You taught me that no woman needs
To invite another woman to look down her dress
You have taught me to sew imaginatively
To wrap myself in the beautiful colors which You
Created in the Created world-
Silks from insects; blues from flowers; pinks from flowers
Lavenders; soft yellows; light golds from the earth;
Sometimes the strongest of reds
And shaped to lease the heart
You have taught me that no one who was raped
Proves anything by licking, styling or
Pulling down her clothes
Without Your constant protection, terrorists
will make me a whore
O Allah, You are rahman and rahim
The Mother of Mothers, You have
Taught me - strengthened me with tenderness
And patience
O Allah, I thank you for teaching me that the best
Human strives for humility before You,
It is You Who unifies hearts
It is You Who heard Elijah's call in the wilderness
You heard Yahya when he baptized the Hopeful
In anticipation of the Messiah
It was You who strengthened Maryam
When the servants of the shaitan stripped off
Her son's clothes
I know that somehow You protected Hajjah Betty
And Malik's daughters and grandchildren
Though the shaitan directed unbelievers to put them
Under extreme pressure
I pray that in the fire, You were purifying Hajjah Betty's soul
O Allah, You are Malik al-Mulk
The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords,
Asherah of Asherahs, Shahan Shah is only You
Negus Negusti, Tarkan, Mani of Manis, Rabbi of Rabbis,
In the whole universe only Allah rules
Kentake of Kentakes, Oba of Obas, Nzinga of Nzingas
O Allah, You Alone hold all of the Titles
Amunet/Amen has no face but Yours
You, O Allah, are the Blackest of Black,
The Reddest of Red, the Yellowest of Yellow,
the Whitest of White, the Brownest of Brown
No hue exists save by Your will
It is You, Father of Fathers who instructs the nations,
It is You who releases the slaves,
And casts down the flags
O Allah, Friend of Friends,
I thank you for the friends in my life
You inspire Black men to submission
To lordship, to rulership
You inspire all men to kindness, to humility,
To strength, to support
To stand tall and defend Islam
O Allah,
It is solely due to You
And I Praise you Praised One
Self-Sufficient,
Hearer of slander, Helper of helpers
Ansar of Ansar, Director of Nasr
Hearer of Hearers, Knower of Knowers,
Lover of Lovers, Protector of Protectors
O Allah,
The only Beloved,
Quench not
The love in my eyes,
The thirst in my heart
Steel my spine, Straighten my step
Teach me again and again that
Shaitan's fall is not mine
I am impatient for You at every moment
I am in darkness without Your comfort
My soul is enraged when she hears not Your call
Submit me not to nations
Save me from the destruction of souls
I thank you, ar-rahman
For another day
In which I praise You
Again

02, 2008. The conference was attended by thousands of women,
including hundreds of women students from Lahore and
adjoining areas, who said they will not be left behind, and
vowed to sacrifice their lives for the sake of upholding the
honor and sanctity of the Prophet,
sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Strict security arrangements were observed during the
conference, while special separate enclosures had been set up
for the women. The women also demanded that a country-wide
campaign be launched against vulgarity and immorality,
especially in educational institutions. They said the enemies
of Islam want the women of Pakistan to become immoral,
wanton, and shameless like those of the West, and said we
must unite to render such conspiracies unsuccessful. They
urged women to implement the teachings of the Quraan and the
Sunnah in their homes; cover themselves; not to admit their
children in Christian missionary educational institutions,
and raise their children in an Islamic environment, so that
the evil schemes of the enemies of Islam and Muslims can
be countered.
Addressing the women's conference in particular in his sermon
during Friday Prayers, Ameer, Jama't-ud-Da'wah Pakistan,
Prof. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, said the enemies of Islam cannot
stand Muslim women following Islamic teachings, at any cost.
They believe, he said, that the Muslim woman is fighting a
war against them from behind her veil. Whenever there is a
clash of civilizations, he said, women certainly play an
important role in such a war, as they have a fundamental role
in the protection and continuity of a family's lineage and
pedigree. Foreign powers, he said, would like Pakistani women
to turn into a commodity to be looked at publicly, like
Western women, so that the strong Muslim family system can be
destroyed. Ever since the West forced its women to leave
their homes and compete with men in the workplace, he said,
they have been exploited as sex objects, and as a result,
moral crimes have reached record levels in Western societies.
That is why they want Muslim women to become a destroyer of
the family, and a destructor of Muslim society, he said.
Praising Muslim women, Hafiz Saeed said Muslim women have
always played an unforgettable role in the wars with the
enemies of Islam and Muslims. Even in these times, he said,
there is no dearth of Muslim women who are sacrificing the
blood of their sons against the enemies of Islam. It is
because of such sacrifices, he said, that the situation is
changing rapidly, and Allah, subhana Hu wa ta'alah, is
conferring victories upon Muslims.
Continuing his sermon to the general congregation, Hafiz
Saeed said, the West is terrified that Muslims are awakening
and becoming stronger in this clash of civilizations. They
know very well, he said, that they will not be able to stand
up against Muslims in the battlefields; therefore, on the
advice of their intellectuals and think-tanks, they are
trying to promote vulgarity, immorality, and licentiousness
in Muslim societies, so that Muslim youth will not be able to
fight against them. These wars, imposed by the enemies of
Islam, are being fought in every household, city, town and
village, he said, and every Muslim must search their soul, as
to what role they are to play in this war. Yet,
unfortunately, Muslims have still not realized their
responsibilities, he lamented. The only danger, felt by
foreign powers, he said, is from Islam and jihad, as they
believe that they can manipulate every civilization in the
world, except Islamic civilization, and for this purpose they
want to maintain their systems and laws in Muslim countries
and societies.
Hafiz Saeed said when oppressive powers reach a peak of
defiance, mischief mongering, and tyranny, in order to
subjugate other human beings, then Allah, subhana Hu wa
ta'alah, brings forth His servants into the field in
order to destroy their power, to end their systems, and to
punish them. He said jihad is not terrorism, but, in fact, it
is the best path to peace in the world, and oppression and
strife cannot be eradicated from the world without it.
Nations which abandon jihad can never be successful,
he said.
Note to Kaukab Siddique's comment on Muslim Opportunists
such as Siraj Wahhaj:
[Siraj Wahhaj's message distorts Islam and twists the mission
of Muhammad, pbuh. Siraj cuts out a few words from a verse of
the Qur'an which has nothing to do with acceptance of a kafir
sytem. It is about Hajj and was revealed after
the Islamic system had been established. It is saying the
opposite of what Siraj is writing. Obviously Siraj is simply
using Islam for his own nefarious purposes. Here is the verse:
"O you who believe! Violate not the sanctity of the rites of
Allah, nor of the sacred month, nor of the animals brought
for sacrifice, nor the garlands that mark out such animals,
nor the people resorting to the Sacred House, seeking of the
bounty and good pleasure of their Lord. But when you are
clear of the Sacred Precincts and of the state of pilgrimage,
ye may hunt. And let not the hatred of some people in (once)
shutting you out of the Sacred Mosque lead you to
transgression (and hostility on your part). Help ye one
another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one
another in sin and transgression. Fear Allah: For Allah is
strict in punishment." [5:2]
Thus Allah is teaching Muslims how to behave AFTER the
Islamic victory. Keep it sacred, be generous to those who
once were fighting you, cooperate in good, but not in bad
EVEN with Muslims. Siraj is telling Muslims that they can
cooperate with the Democratic Party, from Ellison to Obama,
in America. What jahils have become leaders.] Here is Siraj's
COMPLETE MESSAGE uncut.
Celebrating Political Landmarks
As Salamu Alaikum, Dear Brothers and Sisters!
With the election of two Muslims to Congress: first Keith
Ellison and most recently Andre Carson from Indianapolis,
Muslims in the U.S. have reached political landmarks that are
worthy of celebration. Both brothers are overt about their
Islam; both are advocates of social justice and economic
equality; both are supporters of the Muslim community, and
both are up for re-election this year. As the presidential
race moves forward, we, and all citizens of this nation, are
poised for another political landmark-a viable African
American presidential candidate.
MANA cannot endorse candidates, but as an organization we can
get involved in promoting voter registration. My masjid,
Masjid al-Taqwa, will do its part by conducting a voter
registration drive. Individually, we can and should get
involved in supporting the candidates of our choice. For the
first time in my life, I have donated to political
candidates, and for the first time in a long time, I
have voted.
Allah said, "Cooperate with one another in righteousness and
taqwa" (5:2). The Prophet (saws) said at Hudaibiyyah that he
would cooperate with anyone in the promotion of the rites of
Hajj. Many scholars have taken this to mean that Muslims
should cooperate with anyone if it promotes good and the
interests of Muslims. It's time to get involved. We should
all strive to do our part.
Your brother in Islam,
Imam Siraj Wahhaj
