"If it had been the will of your Lord that all the people of
the world should be believers, all the people of the earth
would have believed! Would you then compel mankind against
their will to believe?"
The Holy Quran, 10:99

OUR CULTURAL BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL STARTS TODAY
Sadly we do not hear from our Muslim rulers regarding
atrocities committedagainst Palestinians. WHY?
King of Saudi Arabia is Silent. Doesn't he have a
conscience?
Shaikh Mohommad.
Along with more than 600 other fellow artists, we are
announcing today that we will not engage in
business-as-usual cultural relations with Israel. We will
accept neither professional invitations to Israel, nor
funding, from any institutions linked to its government.
Since the summer war on Gaza, Palestinians have enjoyed no
respite from Israel's unrelenting attack on their land,
their livelihood, their right to political existence.
"2014," says the Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem,
was "one of the cruellest and deadliest in the history of
the occupation." The Palestinian catastrophe goes on.
Israel's wars are fought on the cultural front too. Its army
targets Palestinian cultural institutions for attack, and
prevents the free movement of cultural workers. Its own
theatre companies perform to settler audiences on the West
Bank - and those same companies tour the globe as cultural
diplomats, in support of "Brand Israel". During South
African apartheid, musicians announced they weren't going to
"play Sun City".
Now we are saying, in Tel Aviv, Netanya, Ashkelon or Ariel,
we won't play music, accept awards, attend exhibitions,
festivals or conferences, run masterclasses or workshops,
until Israel respects international law and ends its
colonial oppression of the Palestinians.
Air Photo Evidence
by John C. Ball
World War Two Photos of Alleged Mass Murder Sites
Analyzed.
3rd, corrected and greatly expanded edition
During World War Two both German and Allied reconnaissance
aircraft took countless air photos of places of tactical and
strategic interest in Europe. These photos are prime
evidence for the investigation of the Holocaust. Air photos
of locations like Auschwitz, Majdanek, Treblinka, Babi Yar
etc. permit an insight into what did or did not happen
there. This then can be compared with what witnesses claim
happened there. The present book is full of air photo
reproductions and schematic drawings explaining them.
According to the author, these images refute many of the
atrocity claims made by witnesses in connection with events
in the German sphere of influence.

Syria forces execute 10 children of mujahideen: monitor
Beirut (AFP) - Ten children were among at least 48 people
killed in a Syrian village this week when regime forces
executed six families of rebel fighters, a monitoring group
said on Saturday.
Tuesday's executions took place in the village of Rityan,
north of second city Aleppo, after regime forces entered
that day during an offensive aimed at cutting rebel supply
lines to the Turkish border, the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said.
The Britain-based monitor said that villagers had discovered
the bodies when they returned to their homes after the
regime forces withdrew a day later.
Five women and 13 rebels from the six families were among
the dead.
"The troops and militiamen knew exactly where they lived
thanks to the informers who accompanied them," Observatory
director Rami Abdel Rahman said.
"There was no resistance except in one house where a rebel
opened fire at troops before being executed along with his
family," he added.
Activist Mamun Abu Omar said some of the bodies had been
mutilated.
The brief seizure of Rityan was part of an abortive army
offensive launched this week to try to encircle the
rebel-held east of Aleppo and relieve two besieged Shiite
villages to its north.
By Friday all but one of the villages initially taken by
government forces had been recaptured by the rebels, who
include fighters of Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front.
The heavy fighting claimed the lives of 129 regime loyalists
and 116 rebels, including an Al-Nusra commander, according
to an Observatory toll.
While the ground offensive failed, regime warplanes kept
targeting rebel areas of Aleppo city and other parts of the
country.
On Saturday, eight people -- among them two women and two
children -- were killed when a barrel bomb hit a building in
an opposition-held area of Aleppo city, once Syria's
commercial capital.
Five people were also reported killed in rebel shelling of
regime-held areas of the city.
The air force also killed at least seven people in rebel
areas east of Damascus on Saturday, the Observatory
said.
According to the monitoring group, they were the latest of
nearly 6,000 people killed across Syria since the UN
Security Council passed resolution 2139 on February 22 last
year.
The Observatory "has documented the killing of 5,812
civilians, including 1,733 children, 969 women and 3,110 men
in barrel bombings and (other) air raids" over the past
year.
The raids have continued despite Resolution 2139, which
ordered all sides to end their "indiscriminate employment of
weapons in populated areas, including shelling and aerial
bombardment, such as the use of barrel bombs".
Syria's conflict began as a peaceful pro-democracy revolt
but morphed into a civil war that has killed more than
210,000 people since March 2011.
Latest Khutba
Legitimate Authority Belongs to Allah Alone. Cooperation
with Oppressors leads to hell.
What's Wrong with saying: "Islam is a religion of
Peace?"
On Feb 20, 2015, Dr. Kaukab Siddique gave the Juma' in
central Baltimore, MD. Despite the severe cold weather, the
attendance was quite good. A summary of the main points is
given here:
Text #1:
"And incline not toward the oppressors, lest the
fire should touch you, and you have no protectors other than
Allah, nor would you then be helped." [The Qur'an 11:
113]
Text #2:
Narrated Ma'qil "I heard the Prophet saying, "Any
man whom Allah has given the authority of ruling some people
and he does not look after them in an honest manner, will
never sense even the smell of Paradise." [Sahih Bukhari,
al-Ahkam]
The Qur'an repeatedly tells us that authority belongs to
Allah alone. Those who claim to be authorities, the Qur'an
calls them "min doon Allah" [others than Allah] and
obedience to such authorities is a form of shirk [mortal sin
of associating others with Allah].
Muslims are in serious trouble because they accept kings,
dictators, tribal chiefs, males, husbands etc as legitimate
authorities.
Muslims in America in many cases have fallen so low that
now the kuffar and the munafiqueen teach them on TV the real
meaning of Islam!
One of the clever formulas being bandied about, all the
way from the President of the USA to the average TV anchor
is: We are not at war with Islam. Why? Because Islam is a
religion of peace.
Many Muslims are taken in by this formula. It implies
that all those Muslims who are fighting against the western
powers and the tyrants they have installed in our lands are
"not good Muslims."
From there, the next step is to claim that the mujahideen
are not even Muslims but have "perverted Islam" and
therefore it is okay to "eradicate" them. It is an argument
for genocide. Every day high tech jet bombers are used to
unload bombs and missiles on Muslims who have no equipment
to fire back.
In the Muslim Ummah of America, little elitist groups
have been planted who are publicized by the Zionist media as
the "leaders" of Muslims. These agent groups do not want to
protest even when the blessed Prophet, pbuh, is insulted in
blasphemous cartoons.
Remember the powerful message of Allah. Those who
cooperate with the oppressors, the kuffar, the tawagheet,
are going straight to hell.
I urge you to study the Qur'an, a little every day. In
every matter, we have the Guidance of Allah in the Qur'an.
If you don't know Arabic, translations are available in
every language. So there is no excuse for ignorance of
Allah's Guidance.
If something in the Qur'an requires interpretation, go
to the hadith, but be sure it is authentic hadith. Look in
the collections of Bukhari and Muslim and make sure the
hadith goes back all the way to the Prophet, pbuh.
If both Qur'an and hadith do not provide a full
explanation, go to scholars, but make sure that the scholar
is teaching from Qur'an and hadith. Depending ONLY on
scholars is also a form of SHIRK.
Honor and respect women, particularly Muslim women.
Bring your wives, daughters, mothers, sisters to the masjid.
This country has already destroyed the family: it might
destroy the Muslim family too if women do not come to the
mosque
Some people think Juma' is not obligatory for women.
Read 62:9. Allah is commanding ALL believers to go for
juma'. Many hadith also show that women went for juma'. One
hadith gave women the choice not to go, but it was for a
particular context. ALL BELIEVERS should go for juma'.
May Allah give us Islamic spouses and children. May
Allah give victory to the battle formations of Islam.
Spotlights & Guidance
Guidance from Imam Badi Ali
Seek to understand life from the Qur'an and the
Sunnah.
Surrender to the fact that life is not fair.
Life is a test, only a test.
Imagine yourself at your own funeral.
Understand the power of your own faith.
Re-define your objectives and remember that your real
objective is to worship Allah and serve Him.
Listen to your nature [fitra].
Claim responsibility and always try to be helpful..
Stop blaming others and the world.
Always remember that this might be the last minute or
the last day of your life.
In this dunya, you are on test. Compare life to an exam
where your teacher can take away your test at any time.

UK: Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill receives "Royal
Assent" to seize passports, assets, and children of Muslim
citizens. Muslim Children already being Seized by British
"Authorities."
by sis. Karin Friedemann
Even before the UK's draconian new Counter-Terrorism bill
has been passed into law, the British government has started
taking Muslim children away from their parents in order to
"prevent radicalization." The Prime Minister also announced
an additional £130 million which will be made available over
the next two years to strengthen counter-terrorism
capabilities.
This new policy has a lot of problems, starting with an
extremely vague definition of "extremism," which has already
been used to target people with strong opinions, social
justice activists, people returning from non-violent
activities overseas, and even those who went to Syria or
Iraq to join a resistance movement but then decided against
it and came home. None of these people are seriously
considered to be planning attacks on British soil. Rather,
their advocation of Islamic ideology is being touted as a
threat to "British values."
"We must be firm to the point of ruthlessness in opposing
behaviour that undermines our values. Paedophilia, FGM,
Islamic radicalisation - to some extent, at some stage, we
have tiptoed round them all for fear of offending this or
that minority," wrote London mayor Boris Johnson in the
Telegraph, claiming that "Radicalisation is a form of child
abuse" and that Muslim children who risk radicalisation by
their parents should be taken into foster care.
An essential weakness of the mayor's argument is that
paedophilia and Female Genital Mutilation are both tangible
crimes, while "Islamic radicalisation" is a term so vague
that it could include anyone merely philosophically opposed
to British participation in foreign wars.
Another serious flaw with the soon-to-be law is that
non-Muslim extremists are unlikely to be targeted under the
new terrorism law, even if they clearly present a danger to
society.
British soldier Ryan McGee, a supporter of the far right
English Defence League (EDL), only got a two-year sentence
after it was discovered that he had made nail bombs filled
with 187 pieces of shrapnel to maximize damage. McGee was
also found in possession of knives, axes and imitation guns.
He had watched videos of victims being beheaded and shot in
the head under a Nazi swastika flag. He had an EDL "No
Surrender" flag in his room. He was prosecuted and convicted
under the Explosive Substances Act (1883). Instead of being
prosecuted as a terrorist, the government prosecutor himself
argued that McGee was just an immature teenager.
"Yet paradoxically, the police, the Crown Prosecution
Service (CPS) and the government seek to portray Muslim
returnees from Syria as the greatest threat this country has
ever faced, charging them and seeking convictions for
terrorism offences not connected to Britain in any way,"
wrote Moazzam Begg, who argued that "the UK's terrorism
legislation is not being applied evenly and should be
scrapped in favor of a more common sense approach."
Another serious double standard, is that no arrests have
been made of "British mercenaries (non-Muslims of course)
who have joined Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga units who fight
alongside banned terrorist organizations like the Kurdish
Workers Party (PKK) and Iraqi militias who fight next to the
Assad regime alongside proscribed terrorist group
Hezbollah."
The most emotionally disturbing part of the government's
assault on its largest religious minority is that day care
centers and schools are now being told they have to report
any evidence of "Islamic radicalization" to a government
social worker, whose decision making power is almost
absolute.
"The nurseries should insure proper training of their staff
to... challenge extremist ideas which can be used to
legitimize terrorism and are shared by terrorist groups,"
the government document tagged "Prevent" stated.
There is no due process to determine the veracity or context
of any such accusation. The government simply takes the
children by force. Domestic violence organizations and other
groups that should provide free legal help to mothers in
such cases, have been instructed not to provide attorneys to
mothers reported to the government as being suspiciously
passionate about Islamic causes or religious practices.
"As a parent I may have to prove many things in order to get
my child back, my question is why does a social worker and
Channel officer have to prove absolutely NOTHING in order to
remove her in the first place. I can't disprove something
that hasn't ever made it to anyones sight!" protested a
British mother, whose 7 year old was taken away after her
twitter name raised eyebrows. The government questioned her
about her plan to attend an Islamic Unity conference, her
letters to Tarek Mehanna, and a passing comment she made
online more than a year ago, regarding the Lee Rigby
incident. She had just mentioned "that soldiers aren't
innocent fighting in a heavily opposed and morally
deplorable war."
In an earlier case last December the Daily Mail reported,
"Two toddlers were snatched by the British police from their
mother who had returned from war-torn Syria with them, via
Turkey.
The UK's large Muslim population is being screened for
Islamic "Jihadi" style influences as "the British government
tries to find effective ways to deal with the threat posed
by ISIS."
In fact, ISIS poses no direct threat to Britain. It would be
wise to dig deeper into which groups would lobby England's
elected officials to enact such laws, which essentially
prohibit Muslim citizens from enjoying equal rights at home
and inhibit them from travelling internationally.

Heavy Losses for Assad's troops north of Aleppo+ISIS
Regrouping-retreating from Kobane after US Bombing Blitz
February 17-19: After ferocious fighting and air attacks
north of Aleppo, Islamic fighters led by al-Nusra captured
the town of Herdentine.
More than 90 of Assad's troops were killed, including
Shi'ites/Alawites from Hizbullah and NDF militias. Islamic
forces too suffered heavily with 25 from al-Nusra killed and
dozens from other Islamic formations.
About 80 of Assad's troops fled to the town of al-Zahraa in
bad shape.
ISIS is slowly withdrawing from some areas north of
Aleppo.
February 5-20: ISIS fighters have steadily withdrawn from
Kobane, the northern town on Turkey's border after being
pounded on a daily basis by the US air force. In house to
house fighting, the mujahideen killed about 600 Kurdish YPG
communist fighters. US air force bombing and heavy shelling
by Peshmerga reinforcements and fighting with YPG and
pro-USA FSA group killed more than 1000 ISIS mujahideen,
[not fully confirmed] many of them new converts to
Islam.
ISIS is regrouping and YPG is advancing into villages around
Kobane. US air strikes continue. The city is completely
ruined.
Iraq
Serious Setbacks for Kurdish-Shi'ite Coalition: Caliphate
Strike Force hits near Erbil.
On February 17-19, Islamic State mujahideen raided Kurdish
Peshmarga forces south west of Erbil wher US forces are
stationed. The IS forces withdrew after inflicting serious
losses. THe raid was in response to US claims that the
pro-West Kurds were now in a position to retake Mosul.
The IS fighters paraded 21 Kurdish Peshmarga prisoners
through a town in Kirkuk province, probably Hawija. The
victorious column was met by wildly cheering crowds. [See
photo with the Peshmarga in cages, thus IS imitating what
the US did in Gtmo.]
On Feb 21, US TV including CNN admitted that IS fighters
have captured a military base north of Baghdad. The
mujahideen displayed quantities of automatic rifles, a
column of armored personnel carriers, and huge piles of
ammunition, some of which were also shown on CNN because
these were American weapons given to the Baghdad regime.

Young Muslims show support for 22 year old who attacked
cartoonists who blasphemed the Prophet, pbuh. 500 Attended
Funeral. Denmark shocked.
February 20: Umar al-Hussain, 22, of Palestinian origin, who
attacked a group supporting cartoons of the Prophet, pbuh,
was laid to rest at a Muslim graveyard in the suburbs of
Copehagen.
More than 500 Muslims, mostly young, came out for the
funeral, a very large number for a small population like
that of Denmark. [Source AFP]
Photo: Umar's body arriving at the graveyard, Photo
Reuters.
Umar killed one of the cartoonist documentary organizers and
a Jewish security guard. He wounded 5 policemen before he
was shot down.
Massive propaganda campaign against Umar al-Hussain seemed
to have failed to impress the Muslims.
The cartoonists insulted the entire Muslim world by
ridiculing the blessed Prophet, pbuh. Huge rallies were
held in African countries and in Pakistan against the
blasphemers.
Libya
Sissi Attacks ISIS in Libya
After the killing of 21 Coptic Christian Egyptians in Libya,
the Egyptian and Libyan air forces bombed ISIS held towns on
February 16 and 17 killing 50 people.
Then on February 19, ISIS blew up Libyan military positions
linked to Egyptian attacks, killing 22 troops and injuring
25.
Pakistan
Police Complex Hit
Feb. 17. A human bomber from a splinter group of Pakistani
hit police center in Lahore. At least 5 police officers were
killed and 22 wounded.
Pak Taliban said it was revenge for executions carried out
by the government
Afghanistan
Police under heavy Attack. USA Slows withdrawals.
Feb. 18: In four human bomb attacks, Afghan Taliban killed
22 police officers.
USA announced that it will not withdraw the 11,000 troops it

Malcolm X: Allah used him to Spread Islam in America.
Millions Responded after he was Martyred.
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD
On Malcolm X's anniversary 50 years after his martyrdom, we
should remember the great debt the Muslim Ummah in America
owes him. This country tried to destroy him, made him into a
petty criminal and locked him up.
He owed much, even his mind, to Elijah Muhammad who taught
Black Separatism. But Malcolm rose much above his mentor. He
not only mobilized the Black community with his fiery
rhetoric, but then he had the courage to see that Elijah
himself in his treatment of women was not the right model
for Muslims and also could not speak against US imperialism
when Kennedy was killed.
Malcolm went to Africa and realized that Islam is global. He
went to Makkah and realized that the struggle is against
oppressors, not against Whites.
He was seen as a threat by Elijah Muhammad. Finally he was
shot down brutally by NOI gunmen. Did they act on a signal
from Elijah Muhammad or were they used by the government
remains a moot question. He denied he had anything to do
with the murder.
Violence is intrinsic to the American way of life. Look at
how the sniper movie is being glamorized.
Perhaps it was inevitable that he would be killed in such a
society. What stands out is his ability and moral courage in
standing up to his own organization even when his home was
fire bombed.
From his blood, millions accepted Islam. Even socialists,
anarchists and Pan Africanists claimed him as one of
themselves.
Sunni Islam is now strongly rooted in America. I go to
mosques in America's inner cities where just about everyone
is a convert to Islam [not immigrants] . They call him by
his correct name: al-Hajj Malik Shabazz.
Look at Imam Jamil al-Amin and many others who have kept the
mission of Malcolm X alive.
Let us always remember that most converts [reverts] to Islam
embrace Islam because it stands against oppression and
against the American power structure, usually NOT for
interfaith or prayer 5 times a day reasons.
For the best brief study of Malcolm X, read the pamphlet by
Imam Ali Siddiqui titled: MALCOLM X: MARTYR OF ISLAM in
AMERICA.
Racism is America's foundational problem. It was very
difficult for Malcolm but he rejected it.
In later years, Dr. Abdulalim Shabazz told us in brilliant
analysis that Zionism is a continuation of racism. The
struggle of Al-Hajj Malik Shabazz continues. As the Qur'an
says, martyrs do not die.

Saudi Arabia: Saudi Monarchy is twisting Hadith & Misusing
the Word "khawarij" to Discredit Its Islamic Opponents.
Whom do the Hadith really refer to? Here is a Major Rebuttal
of the Saudi Scholars' Claims
[With thanks to Jamaat al-Muslimeen Virginia]
[See New Trend editor's brief comment after you finish
reading the article.]
"Khawārij" explained
February 19, 2015 by AnsarulShariah
The term khawārij is nowadays loosely applied to "Islamists"
and the Muwahideen who reject man-made laws and are
pro-khilāfah, whether by way of fighting or preaching (i.e
intellectual struggle).
Hundreds of truthful scholars and individuals have
consequently been incarcerated or killed through out the
Muslim world in general and Saudi Arabia in particular under
the disguise of stopping the fitnah of the khawārij and
"takfiris".
Government scholars and their followers - pseudo salafis
(madkhalīs) - are currently the forerunners in this campaign
of demonising Muslim activists and branding them as
khawārij.
HOWEVER, if we take close look at the attributes of the
khawārij, it is clear to see that "Islamists" today are in
fact miles away from any of their signs and characteristics
that have been mentioned in the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad
ﷺ.
Signs of the khawārij:
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ told his companions (rathiya Allâhu
a'nhuma) that the khawārij will appear to be devout
worshippers, and he also informed them of their signs and
attributes.
Some of their key characteristics are:
Killing the people of Islaam
Allying with the enemy (kūffar)
Revolting against the Caliph, or Imam of the muslims
Takfeer on Ṣaḥāba
Expelling a muslim from islam (takfeer) for committting a
major hour
Beautiful recitation, eloquent speech and good deeds
KILLING THE PEOPLE OF ISLAM:
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
"They would kill the people of Islaam (Ahlu ut-Tawheed, i.e
Muslims)"
(Sahīh Muslim, book of Zakaat, chapter 47: the khawārij and
their characteristics, Hadeeth no 1046).
It is well known that the people of Tawḥīd today from the
brothers that strive assert that it is completely forbidden
to fight - let alone kill - a muslim, unless he commits
ri'da (apostasy) - despite the lies and false claims of
Saudi government's preachers and their blind followers, who
would have you believe the opposite. Indeed, there are times
of fitnah (which shouldn't happen) where groups start to
fight - May Allâh guide the truthful.
On the contrary, it is the rulers of muslim countries and
foot soldiers - with the backing of their hired scholars -
that are engaged in fierce battle with Muslims. Secretly
kidnapping their families, torturing their sisters and
wives, arresting scholars that are dare to speak out, and
killing them one by one.
So cleary, this characteristic is more applicable to the
rulers of taghūt, Saudi government's scholars and their
blind followers (madkhalīs)
SPARING THE DISBELIEVERS (allying with them):
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
".....and they will spare the mushrikeen (disbelievers)
..."
(Sahīh Muslim, book of Zakaat, chapter 47: the khawārij and
their characteristics, Hadeeth no 146)
Another characteristic of the khawārij is that they prefer
the disbelievers over Ahl ut-Tawḥīd (people of Tawḥīd, i.e
muslims).
They leave the mushrikeen alone (even in the Arabian
Peninsula today), but fight the believers.
Messenger of Allâh ﷺ informed us that the khawārij are
people who kill Muslims but spare those who worship
falsehood. Look at the Arabian Peninsula, it is obvious who
is really allying with people of shirk.
Allying with non-Muslims (or cross bearers), working with
their police as spies or even joining them is an integral
principal of Manhaj of the pseudo salafis (madkhalīs)
REVOLTING AGAINST THE CALIPH, OR IMAM OF THE MUSLIMS:
This is very famous sign of the khawārij. The Saudi
government's scholars and their blind followers claim the
brothers that strive are from the khawārij for wanting to
rise against the taghūt,
Was the king Abdullah the Caliph or the true Imam? The
khawārij were known to rebel against the aṣ-ṣaḥābah and the
khalīfah.
The leaders today arbitrate to the United Nations (taghūt),
and therefore they are apostates and illegitimate rulers
that must be removed - as the Prophet ﷺ ordered.
TAKFEER ON THE ṢAḤāBA:
Another distinguished - and probably of the greatest sign of
the khawārij is their takfeer of certain Ṣaḥābah (may Allâh
reward them) and expelling them from Islaam.
There is nobody today following the example and Sunnah of
the Messenger Muhammad ﷺ and his Ṣaḥāba (rathiya Allâhu
aa'nhum), than the brothers who are striving to make His dīn
the highest. Anybody who makes takfeer of the Ṣaḥābah is a
kāfir, and this what the Salaf (Ahlu Kittaab wa Sunnah) have
said.
EXPELLING MUSLIMS FROM ISLAM FOR COMMITTING MAJOR HARAM
(SIN):
This is indeed a very well known attributes of the khawārij,
who believe a person's Imaan can never decrease, and hence
if one commits a major sin they have left the fold of
Islaam. Nowadays we are living in a time when the desease of
irjaa (separating Imaan from actions) has become widespread.
Today it is nearly impossible to convince a Muslim that a
person who commits Kufr or Shirk has left the fold of
Islaam.
So who today is expelling muslims from Islaam for committing
major sins?
The only people that are doing this are the so-called
"moderates".
Funded scholars said those individuals who carried out the
initial Riyadh bombings in November 1995 on an American
compound (used to train the Saudi national guards) were
people who without doubt did not believe in Allâh and the
last day (Hereafter), thus exposing their khariji beliefs
and ideology - "pseudo salafis" (madkhalīs).
However, killing muslims by labelling them khawārij, allying
with disbelievers against muslims and handing them over to
the enemy as the bogus neo-salafis (madkhalīs) and their
dollar Scholars deem to be necessary - it is major kufr and
apostasy. Deliberately targeting and killing muslims is
forbidden in Islaam.
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:
The first khariji in Islaam, Dhul khawaysirah at-Taameemi,
was described as having a protruding forehead, large beard
and shaved head (see Sahīh al-Bukhari wa Muslim).
Those whom the neo-salafis (madkhalīs) consider to be
khawārij are far from this description, in fact they
themselves and their brethren from Brixton, Birmingham,
Luton, Toronto and so forth that fit the description of
"Dhul khuwaysirah" more than anyone else.
BEAUTIFUL RECITATIONS, ELOQUENT SPEECH AND GOOD DEEDS:
The khawārij were also described as dedicated and practising
Muslims.
It is reported in Sahīh al-Bukhâri that the Messenger
Muhammad ﷺ said:
There will appear some people among you whose salaat will
make you look down upon yours, and whose siyaam will make
you look down upon yours, and whose good deeds will make you
look down upon yours, but they will recite the Qur'ān which
will not exceed their throats, and they will go out of islam
the way an arrow leaves the bow.
(Sahīh al-Bukhârî, book 66, the virtues of the Qur'ān,
chapter 36, Hadith no 5058).
Ironically, the individuals whom the bogus salafis consider
to be khawārij, according to their own standards, are
ignorant of Islaam, the Qur'ān and even the Arabic language.
So they clearly do not match the description of the khawārij
told by the Prophet ﷺ.
In reality, it is the bogus salafis themselves who appear to
have more traits and characteristics of the khawārij, they
control many masajid, have many Qurraa (beautiful reciters
of the Qur'ān), and appear to be devout, pious Muslims, yet
the ayyaat they have memorised do not exceed their
throats.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also described the khawārij as immature
youth who would be young in age, but they would have
eloquent tongues, make impressive speeches and they would
talk (in such manner) as if their words are the best among
the creatures, they would recite the Qur'ān but it would not
go beyond their throats.
(Sahīh Muslim, book of Zakaat ,chapter 47: the khawārij and
their characteristics, hadith no 1066).
There are many young, immature youths today who are
beginning to follow the sick twisted cult of the
pseudo-salafis (madkhalīs). They provide their audiences
with beautiful speeches and recitations of the Qur'ān, yet
the clear - cut verses of Allâh ﷻ they quote go unheeded.
The Salaf are free from them and their baatil and
speech.
There is no single taghūt they can name and reject - not
even Obama, instead they exhaust all their efforts on
attacking the Ahlu Kitaab wa Sunnah. No muslim is safe from
their vile rants and slander, either you are with them and
the Americans or you are a misguided or khariji. Muslims
must be aware of these sick individuals. It is forbidden to
attend their gatherings, increase their numbers or incline
towards these wrong-doers in any way. They are murji'ah with
the rulers, but khawārij with the brothers that strive and
Ahlu Kittaab wa Sunnah.
The khawārij of today (Part 2):
Shaykh Umar 'Abd ar-Raḥman - may Allâh reward him -
said:
So as for the Khawārij, the ʿUlamāʾ have explained that they
are the ones who revolt against the true Imam (Imam
Al-Haqq), and they openly disobey him, and they conspire
against him.
So where is this true Imam today? With regards to whom we
could label anyone who rebels against him as a khariji?
So,Where is the ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (rh) of today?
And if we are Khawārij then who are you (O' regimes and O
'royal scholars)?
Are you 'Alī (rathya Allâhu an'hu)? or his companions?
And did Ali (rathya Allâhu an'hu) take the laws of his
governance from the legislation of the Persians or
Romans?
Did he governed according to "socialism" and "democracy" or
was he a member of the United Nations?
And calling to interfaith dialogue, or perhaps did he built
churches in the Arabian Peninsula? Did he?
Or was Ali (rathya Allâhu an'hu) ally and supporter of the
Jews and crusades killing of million of Muslims in Iraq,
Afghanistan and in all the occupied Muslim lands? Did
he?
Or did 'Alī (rathya Allâhu an'hu) establish American
military barracks all over the Arab Peninsula to exploit the
Muslims resources and send missiles to follow Muslims in
Iraq? Did he?
Or was 'Alī (rathya Allâhu an'hu) calling the establishment
of the Khilafah, a crime which cannot be forgiven?
No wAllâhi
Read Are the modern day rulers khawārij?
Imam 'Alī (rathya Allâhu an'hu) was not like that at all,
rather he was of the most eager to implement the judgement
of Allâh, Khilafah, governing according to Kittaabu' Allâh
and the Sunnah of his Messenger ﷺ. The one who rebels
against such murtadeen of the Arab regimes and the royals is
indeed a true Muslim, a Mu'min, and a Muttaqi.
And Allâh knows best.
[Comment by Br. Kaukab Siddique: In fact the Prophet, pbuh,
never used the word "khawarij." The term has taken on a
historic NEGATIVE meaning used by rulers to discredit the
opponents of unIslamic rulers. The people originally labeled
"khawarij" were followers of Ali, r.a.,,who objected to his
acceptance of negotiations with Muawiyyah, r.a., After they
left his army, Ali, r.a.,killed almost all of them at
Nahrwan. This disaster within his ranks weakened Ali's,
r.a., side so much that he carried out a permanent cease
fire with Muawiyyah, r.a. A brother of one of those killed
by him later assassinated him.]
