Very Unusual Khutba in Greensboro, North Carolina
Islamic Teachings on Friendship: Why is it important? Why it
can change your life & your future?
Text: ..."And our seducers were only those who were steeped
in guilt. Now, then, we have none to intercede for us, nor a
single friend to feel for us, now if we only had a chance of
return, we shall truly be of those who believe." [The Qur'an
26:99-102]
Imam Badi Ali, a famous Palestinian teacher, guide and Imam,
especially helping young people, gives juma' Khutbas to
hundreds of people at the Islamic Center of the Triad {ICT]
Here is a summary of his latest.
Friendship is very important in Islam. Prophet Muhammad,
pbuh, has taught that a person will follow the fate of his
friend. Friendship is connected to the purpose of Creation
itself. Choose a friend who will have the qualities of
humanity that when you look at him, you will remember Allah.
The salaf have taught that we should befriend those who
will strengthen our faith.
A poet has said, befriend the trustworthy who like the wind
will take everything with it.
A hypocrite should not be your friend. He could damage your
DEEN. Be aware of the friend who invites towards sin or
towards doubt and suspicion. Such doubters will seek DUNYA
and block your way to the Hereafter.
Your friends are your precious resources. Treat them with
good manners and due respect. Visit even those who abandoned
you. Give to those who did not give you. Even be kind to
those who were tending to be oppressive.
With your brothers, find an excuse, do not accuse, for what
they do. Look at Tableeghi Jamaat. When one of them speaks,
the others in his group make du'a for him.
Treat your brother with mercy. It is a form of worship. Ibn
Abbas, r.a., said of a friend: He loves me. He was asked;
How do you know. He replied: Because I love him. Souls are
like soldiers. They recognize each other.
SHARE your thoughts with friends. It is easier to share with
friends than even with family. Guard and protect their
secrets. One brother was asked: Will you protect my secret?
He replied: I forgot it already! Don't lose your friend. It
is like losing your eye or ear!
ADVICE: Always advise your friend, especially during times
of hardship and fitna. Advice is social exchange, face to
face, not through chatrooms and emails.
COMPLIMENTS: Praise your friend whenever praise is due,
within Islamic limits. Give praise on a regular basis.
Make your friend feel that he is special and exceptional.
Finally serve him, give him the best and make Du'a to Allah
[supplication] for him.
{All this applies to sisters and their female friends too.]
War News: Pakistan
Thirteen killed in Latest drone Attacks
The US carried out two successful drone attacks in North
Waziristan onn February 16. In the first attack 5 Islamic
people were killed in the town of Spalga, just outside Miran
Shah. In the second attack 8 Muslims from Uzbekistan were
who had arrived to join the Taliban. The statistical
information about the casualties is provided by Pakistani
army intelligence which works with the US to get these
attacks targeted. {Reported by AFP>Dawn] [5 were from Badr
Mansoor's group [see next item].
US-Qadiani [Ahmeddi] link up in killing of Al-Qaida Leader:
Minorities are used.
According to the pro-government daily "Dawn" last week the
US killed Badr Mansoor who was seen as al-Qaidah's leader in
Pakistan. He was wanted as top target by the US, says Dawn,
because of his attacks on Qadianis [Ahmedis] who are said to
be actively engaged in the army's camaign against Pak
Taliban. [Use of minorities is common in Muslim lands. In
Egypt, Copts were with Hosni Mubarak, in Iran, Bahais with
the Shah, in Syria, Christians and Alawites are with Assad
and in Jordan, Christians, a tiny minority, help the Kng to
crush dissent.
War News: Afghanistan
Latest NATO Atrocity: 8 Children Killed, ages 6 to 14
After outrage from Karzai local representative in eastern
Kapisa province, NATO finally admitted that its aircraftt
bombed a group of children killing 8 of them ,ages 6 to 14.
Karzai's people are worried that more people will join the
Taliban owing to NATO atrocities in provinces like Kapisa
which have little Taliban influence.
The children were herding sheep and had lighted a fire to
keep warm. The first bomb from a NATO jet killed all of
them. The second bomb mutilated their bodies beyond
recognition. Local villagers are having a problem
identifying them.
Meanwhile on February 13, Taliban gun men killed a British
air force office in Helmand province [Nad Ali area] who had
come down to help Karzai's "development" team.
Pak Leader Sees US interference.
Jamaate Islami condemns bill on Baluchistan in US House.
Supports Kashmir & Palestine.
LAHORE, Feb. 18: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Syed
Munawar Hasan, has strongly condemned the bill introduced in
the US House of Representatives for "self determination
right to the Baluchistan people", terming it a blatant
interference in Pakistan's internal affairs.
In a statement here on Saturday, he said theUShad come out
openly against his country and it might use the UN platform
to separateBaluchistanfrom this country in the manner it had
done in the case ofEast TaimurandSouth Sudan.
He stressed upon the government to review its ties with the
US, end its support to the US in the terror war and devise
an independent foreign policy and efforts be made for the
formation of a Muslim bloc with the support of China, Iran,
Afghanistan and Turkey.
The JI Ameer said that on one hand, US drones were
violatingPakistan's airspace while on the other hand, it was
most shamelessly supporting plans aiming at the break up of
this country. The bill introduced in the US House of
Representatives made it quite clear that theUSandIndiaboth
were behind the Baluch Nationalists and were distributing
arms and funds among them. He wondered if this move did not
open the eyes of the rulers and they still expected good
from Washington.
Syed Munawar Hasan said that India had been carrying out
state terrorism in the disputed state ofKashmirand
committing gross human rights violations. It had killed
hundreds of thousand of Kashmiris while thousands of women
had been criminally assaulted. At the same time, he said,
dozens of separatist movements were going on inIndia. He
said it was surprising that theUSdid not take notice
ofIndia's excesses. The UN had adopted a number of
resolutions assuring right of self determination to the
Kashmiris but there was no world pressure onIndiato
implement those resolutions.
Besides, he said, the US had been openly supporting Israel
and was thus fully involved in the massacre of innocent
Palestinians. Every resolution againstIsraelwas vetoed
byWashingtonto obstruct any action against the Zionist
state.
He said, the UN resolution onEast Timor and South Sudan were
implemented promptly because Christian population was to
benefit whereas the resolution seeking the same right for
the Muslim Majority was being ignored.
This statement has been issued by Coca Cola to stop the
boycott of Coca Cola worldwide. Jamaat al-Muslimeen, via
Tennessee Dawah, which organized the boycott along with
groups in Canada and UK, has debunked the Coca Cola
statement.

al-Muslimeen's debunking immediately after it.
Middle East Rumors : Statement issued by Coca Cola
Rumor: BoycottingCoca-Cola makes a statement against America
and American (foreign) policies
Our Response: The Coca-Cola Company and our products are
often regarded as American. But the fact is that The
Coca-Cola Company is a truly international company,
operating worldwide in more than 200 countries. The
Coca-Cola business in each country is a local business.
Coca-Cola beverages are produced, sold and distributed by
authorized local bottling partners, who own and operate
bottling plants and sales/distribution centers, employing
one million local citizens - 90% outside the United States,
and nearly all of them citizens of other countries.
For example, in the Palestinian Authority, The National
Beverage Company, our Company's authorized local bottling
partner, is an independent, privately held company, managed
by local Palestinian businesspeople, who operate a Coca-Cola
bottling facility located in Ramallah and distribution
centers in Gaza, Hebron and Nablus. The National Beverage
Company employs 200 local people and generates employment
for hundreds of others in related industries. Throughout the
Middle East we operate as a local business, run by local
people and employing more than 20,000 local people, with
local shareowners.
The Coca-Cola business is one of the most diverse
organizations in the world, operating across a wide spectrum
of economic, political and religious environments. As a
business, Coca-Cola has neither the mandate to support nor
an interest in supporting individual countries, governments
or political or religious causes.
As everybody else, we are deeply touched by the human side
of the situation in the Middle East. Given the local nature
of our business, we believe that calls for boycotts of our
products are not the appropriate way to further any causes,
as they primarily hurt the local economy, local businesses
and local citizens. Spreading such allegations is an attempt
to exploit a delicate situation in the Middle East.
Rebuttal of Coca Cola Statement by Jamaat al-Muslimeen via
Tennessee Dawah.
Many have probably seen this, but I would like to post it
again. Strange how Coca-Cola tries to seem as though they
are bolstering the community and the economic situation in
Palestine. Hysterical read. As we should all know, the truth
of Coca-Cola in Palestine is this: From 1966 Coca-Cola has
been a staunch supporter of Israel. In 1997 the Government
of Israel Economic Mission honored Coca-Co...la at the
Israel Trade Award Dinner for its continued support of
Israel for the last 30 years and for refusing to abide by
the Arab League boycott of Israel.
Every year Coca Cola bankrolls the American-Israel Chamber
of Commerce Awards which honors companies that have
contributed most to the Israeli economy. In 2009 a Coca-Cola
sponsored award went to Israel's Lobby AIPAC for its
lobbying of the Senate to reject of the UN call for
"immediate ceasefire" and endorse the continuation of the
Israel military assault on Gaza.
In 2008 Coca-Cola tasked the Israeli venture capital
Challenge Fund to locate suitable investments in Israel with
a promise of "a blank cheque" . This agreement is
exceptional in the Israeli venture capital industry.
In 2009 Coca-Cola hosted a special reception at the
Coca-Cola world headquarters to honour Brigadier-General
Ben-Eliezer. Ben-Eliezer is a wanted war criminal, during
the Six-Day War his unit was responsible for the execution
of over 300 Egyptian POWs. Under Sharon, Ben-Eliezer served
as Defence Minister presiding over the massacre at Jenin.
Coca-Cola Israel owns dairy farms in the illegal Israeli
settlements of Shadmot Mechola in the Jordan Valley and a
plant in the industrial zone of Katzerin n the occupied
Golan Heights.
The Changing Face of Saudi Arabia: Stations 30 Times the
Size of London's Trafalgar Square
The Haramain High-speed Railway is a major infrastructure
project for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, connecting the
cities of Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah and the developing King
Abdullah Economic City (KAEC). The stations are conceived as
gateways to each city, filled with places to meet, shop, eat
and shelter from the sun. Altogether, the large, flexible
stations will cover an area more than 30 times the size of
London's Trafalgar Square and will initially accommodate an
anticipated 60 million passengers - approximately six times
the number of passengers that take the Eurostar from St
Pancras each year. This is expected to increase to 135
million passengers by 2042.

Brooklyn D.A. Investigation Leads to 85 Sexual Predators
Arrested in Orthodox Jewish Community
Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes.
Earlier this summer, the Hasidic community in Borough Park
was ripped asunder by one of the most gruesome murders
imaginable — a young Jewish boy smothered and disemboweled.
The murderer may have been a troubled outcast, as Matthew
Shaer describes in last week's New York, but he was still
one of their own — a chilling reality check. Now, the
Brooklyn District Attorney's office has revealed the results
of a three-year investigation into sexual abuse in the
borough's Orthodox Jewish community that is downright
seismic: 85 sexual predators arrested and 117 victims
identified, according to the Post.
Front and center in the investigation, it seems, is one
Andrew Goodman, a 27-year-old adopted as a child into an
Orthodox Jewish family, who had spent the past several years
working with nonprofits for at-risk youths and mentally
disabled adults, where his responsibilities included helping
residents go to the bathroom and shower. He faces a
144-count indictment stemming from two victims in Flatbush —
next door to Borough Park — who claim to have been sexually
abused by Goodman during their early teens. But the number
of his victims is likely much higher. After being released
on bail in summer of 2010, following his arrest, the
community was witness, either via videotape or visit from
the Shromrim patrol, to three separate occasions when
Goodman had young boys in his house (where he lives with his
mother and sister): four the first time, three the second,
and one the third.
So far, about 38 cases in the Brooklyn D.A.'s Project Kol
Tzedek — which the Post translates as Hebrew for "voice of
justice" (find a tip sheet with helpline information here) —
have been closed, with just under two thirds resulting in
the perps walking free. Many pleaded to lesser changes, with
the Post claiming that some got off mostly scot-free because
"victims or their parents backed out under community
pressure." Of the fourteen or so who were handed jail
sentences, the longest sentence may be up to twenty years.
While difficult days of introspection are surely ahead for
Brooklyn's insular Orthodox enclaves, growing awareness of
such crimes and rabbis' willingness to seek out secular help
are essential for the community to protect its most
vulnerable even while preserving its oldest and most
cherished traditions.
