Conversations between the Prophet, pbuh, and women, and
conversation between Umar, r.a., and women.
From Saad ibn Abi Waqqas, r.a., Umar ibn al-Khattab sought
permission to meet the messenger of Allah, pbuh. At that
time the messenger was in ameeting with some women of the
Quraisha and they were conversing informall with the
messenger and their voices could be heard above that of the
messenger [pbuh]. The messenger permitted Umar, r.a. to
enter. As soon as he entered, the women ran and grabbed
their outer garments and put them on. The messenger of Allah
laughed when he saw what was happening. Umar r.a.,., said, O
messenger of Allah, may Allah keep you smiling. The Prophet,
pbuh, said These women of the Quraish were stting here with
me. I am wondering at their behavior. When they heard your
voice, they ran to cover themselves. Umar, r.a., saidf: O
propher, pbuh, you have the greater right that they should
be afraid of you. Then Umar, r.a., turned to the women and
said: O enemies of yourself, are you afraid of me and not of
the messenger of Allah. {one of ] the women replied: "Yes,
we are afraid of you because you are harsh in your language
and in your behavior. Then the messenger of Allah, pbuh,
said: O son of Khattab, I swear by Him in whose power is my
life, Whenever shaitan crosses your path, he leaves your
path and goes away to a place where you are not there.
{Sahih Bukhari , vol 1. kitab al-manaqib, and Sahih Muslim
vol.2, kitab al-fadail.]
Comments by Kaukab Siddique: Women are a central part of the
community of Islam. Here you have women talking informally
to the prophet, so much so that their voices were rising
above his.
Then Umar, r.a., admonishes them and they answer him. Again
no inferiority.
When Umar, r.a., became Caiiph, he was more compassionate
towards women than any man other than the prophet, pbuh.
The high praise to Umar, r.a., from the prophet, pbuh, that
even the devil was afraid of him should give pause to the
Shias who have made it a hobby to attack and abuse him. Ali,
r.a., greatly respected Umar, r.a., but the so called
followers of Ali, r.a., do not follow his example

Protesting Dakota Access Pipeline and the issue of Clean
Water.
by Nadrat Siddique
[Jamaat al-Muslimeen]
I'm currently in Bismarck, North Dakota, near the Standing
Rock Indian Reservation where the fight against DAPL- the
Dakota Access Pipeline- is ongoing. The specter of White
privilege in the realm of water rights is evident wherever
you look: contaminated water in Flint, Michigan; outright
denial of water to Palestinians in Gaza; lead in drinking
fountains in public schools in Baltimore, Maryland. Water is
a basic human right, and its withholding is a form of
genocide.
To better understand the situation at the Standing Rock
Indian Reservation, consider this:
"The pipeline's original path crossed the Missouri River
just north of Bismarck, a city that's 90 percent white. But
when concerns were raised about a potential oil spill there,
the pipeline was rerouted south to go under the river right
next to the Standing Rock Reservation. The Missouri River is
the reservation's primary source of drinking water."

Reaching out to Pakistani Americans. Document on what caused
9.11 and the real meaning of Eid of Sacrifice.
Good khutba in Urdu on Sexuality.
On September 16, at Masjid Fatima in Catonsville, Jamaat
al-Muslimeen gave out an important document to 100 Pakistani
Americans. It was well received. This is a very friendly
masjid but most of its business is done in the Urdu
language. The khutba masnoona is very brief, about 5
minutes, in Arabic and the prayer itself is in Arabic, but
there is a long WAAZ [sermon] in Urdu.
The sermon was about SEXUALITY and how to control sexual
drives and how to avoid adultery. It was beautifully
patterned on sura Yusuf, the story of Joseph and
Zuleikha.
The jamaat al-Muslimeen document given to 100 included the
following:
Why did 9.11 happen?
What could American Muslims have done to prevent it and
the wars which followed?
Why are American Muslims so helpless and cut off from the
ummah? The role of puppet Muslim groups.
Why is the sacrifice attempted by Abraham and Ismail and
stopped by Allah so relevant to our condition.

If you were thinking of Voting for Hillary, Read this:
A $38 billion dollar Military Package for Israel
Jamaat al-Muslimeen's Message:
If you think Hillary is better than Trump, look at Obama's
farewell gift which Hillary has to fulfill: a $38 billion
military aid package to Israel, biggest in the history of
America.
I urge Muslims not to vote. Keep your independence and
integrity. Voting means assimilation into the zionist
strategic plan to control this country. Not voting means
Muslims will be a positive political Force outside the
Zionist ambit. We can behave like what the Quran wanted us
to be : witnesses for the truth, not Republicans or
Democrats.
It will keep our children from thinking that Israel is
legitimate and homosexuality is okay.

Rulers' indifference towards Panama leaks probe has brought
people on roads
LAHORE, Sep. 17; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has said that the indifference of the
government towards the Panama leaks probe had compelled the
people to come on roads.
Talking to different delegations at Mansoora on Saturday, he
said there were numerous mega scandals of corruption like
the Panama leaks but the rulers were not ready for their
investigation.
He said that in the beginning, the Prime Minister had said
that he was ready for accountability and had delivered three
speeches on this issue, but now he was saying that his name
had not been mentioned in the Panama leaks.
Sirajul Haq said that a march towards Raiwind was not
against the residence of any one. "The rulers have built
bungalows in every city and all were sacred, so where should
a protest be lodged," he asked.
He said, had the government accepted Opposition's ToRs and
shown seriousness in the Panama leaks probe, the people
would not have any ground for protest.
The JI chief declared that the plunderers of public money
deserved no leniency as these were every child of the nation
with the IMF and World Bank for heavy loans.
He said that until and unless the NAB became a totally
independent institution, there could be no accountability.
He said that the NAB could become autonomous if the
authority to appoint the NAB chairman was withdrawn from the
Prime minister and the Leader of the Opposition and
entrusted to the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice of all
the four High Courts.
Referring to the Kashmir issue, the JI chief said that
Kashmir is not seen as a priority by the rulers nor could
they be expected to resolve this.
He said that Pakistan is a strong country of the Muslim
world and its rulers should raise a strong voice for the
solution of not only the regional issues but also the
problems facing the Muslim Ummah. Pakistan should have the
courage to expose the double standards of the UN and the
world community. In this respect.
He said that a full-fledged Foreign Minister should be
appointed for the country and separate Desks should be set
up to highlight the Kashmir issue and a deputy Foreign
Minister should be appointed especially to raise the Kashmir
issue at international forums.
Sirajul Haq said that Pakistan had the best opportunity to
make out a case against Indian Prime Minister Modi on his
admission of his role in the fall of Dhaka but the Pakistani
rulers did not have the courage for that, other Muslims
rulers and countries had been helpless on this score.
He said that Pakistan at present was facing conspiracies
from all sides and the situation had reached to the extent
that Saudi Arabia had awarded her highest award to Modi.
He said that India could not wriggle out of war situation
with Pakistan and had now started radio programmes in
Balochi to create anarchy in Balochistan. He said that peace
in the region would always be threatened by India.

Ghazi murder case: Islamabad court orders confiscation of
Musharraf's property
By Arsalan Altaf / AFP
Published: September 17, 2016
ISLAMABAD: A sessions court trying former military ruler
Pervez Musharraf over a deadly raid on Islamabad's radical
Lal Masjid passed an order Saturday confiscating his
property, a lawyer said.
Former president Musharraf, who left Pakistan for Dubai in
March for what was described as urgent medical treatment, is
facing a string of court cases connected to his 1999 to 2008
rule.
Additional District and Sessions Judge (west) Pervaizul
Qadir Memon ordered confiscation of Musharraf's properties
under Section 88 of the Code of Criminal Procedure
(CrPC).
Radical cleric Abdul Rashid Ghazi was one of more than 100
people killed when military troops stormed Lal Masjid in
2007.
Confiscation order: Court asks DHA to attach Musharraf
properties
The court declared the former military ruler a proclaimed
offender and confiscated surety bonds of Rs200,000 which
were submitted by his guarantors - Capt (retd) Nazir Ahmed
and Jan Mohammad - when Musharraf was granted bail by a
sessions court in November 2013.
The judge also dismissed an application submitted by
Musharraf's lawyers saying the army acted in aid of civil
power to carry out the operation, during which Ghazi was
killed.
Akhtar Shah, counsel for Musharraf, had maintained during
the previous hearings that as per Section 132 of the CrPC,
no criminal case could be filed against any official of the
armed forces when they are acting in aid of civil power
except with the sanction of the government.
The judge, however, described the application as
'infructuous' in its decision on Saturday.
"The court... today passed an order that his property be
confiscated," a lawyer for the Red Mosque, Tariq Asad, told
AFP.
"Our next move will be to put pressure on the interior
ministry to bring Musharraf back home so he can face all
cases against him," he added.
A special court in July which is trying Musharraf for
treason, issued a similar order in July but little has
resulted from that verdict.
"Today's court order will help mount pressure on the
government," to take action, Asad said.
Musharraf ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a bloodless
coup in 1999. He resigned in 2008 to avoid possible
impeachment and went into exile overseas.
He returned in 2013 in an attempt to contest elections but
was barred from taking part in the polls and from leaving
the country while facing a barrage of legal cases.
The travel ban was lifted in March.In January this year
Musharraf was acquitted over the 2006 killing of a Baloch
rebel leader, Nawab Akbar Bugti.
But four cases against him remain — one accusing him
of treason for imposing emergency rule, as well as those
alleging the unlawful dismissal of judges, the assassination
of opposition leader Bhutto and the deadly raid on the Lal
Masjid.

Syria
A Bad Week for the Western Powers. Stalemate at Aleppo.
Assad's force wiped out by US Air Force. FSA nearing Hama.
IS near Damascus.
[Sources : Telegraph, Reuters, AP and SOHR.]
September 12 to 18.
A clever program was concocted by the US and Russia to
separate the " moderate" Syrian groups from the Islamic
groups. Then, after the separation, the US and Russia would
jointly attack the Islamic groups, in particularly ISIS and
al-Nusra.
The bait was that the supply roads into Aleppo would be
opened for the food and other essentials. The Alawite/Shias
on the west side of Aleppo and the Muslims on the east side
would benefit from this "generous" offer.
The Assad regime could not restrain itself and rushed to
supply the west side of Aleppo while continuing to bombard
the route into the east side. The mujahedeen thwarted this
move with a counterattack which halted the supply to the
West side. The Russians have now offered to send their own
troops to guard the road into the West side.
Fighting erupted during the "cease fire" in the suburbs of
Damascus as the regime tried to advance under heavy
artillery cover but was beaten back.
Assad got himself photographed in the town of Daraya to
claim victory because the entire population and the armed
citizens had left the city under assurances by human rights
organization, No one wanted to live under Assad's regime.
The photo itself is an indicator that Assad does not realize
that he is hated [denial like that of Qaddafi who too
shouted "al-Qaida" when all of Libya rose up against
him.]
Some of the fighting in Shia attempts to advance on Aleppo
from the South has been severe. The Shias-Alawites suffered
heavily in spite of air cover, including the death of their
general.
ISIS is advancing towards Damascus from the eastern Qalamoun
and holding on to its enclave of Hajr Aswad very near
Damascus.
The FSA is holding on to its advances towards Hama while
suffering from Russian air attacks.
Hizbullah has been fighting it out in back and forth battles
with the Islamic State around Palmyra. The two sides are
stalemated. .
The Russians began their joint operations with USA against
Deir ez Zor [southeast Syria] and the Russians succeeded
earty killing 10 fighters of the Islamic State. Then the
Americans came out. They saw the Shia-Alawite forces
stretched out in plain view never thinking that they could
possibly be attacked from the air. The Americans, using late
model jets, thought they were ISIS and attacked them pell
mell killing 83 and injuring 120 and destroying their
vehicles. The Russians put in emergency calls to stop the
massacre of their allies.
As if that was not enough, the next day Islamic fighters
shot down a low flying Russian Mig, killing its pilot.
In the north, Turkey allowed American Special Forces to come
in against ISIS but reports indicate even the FSA protested
and the Americans had to turn back.
Somalia: Pro West General killed in Mogadishu car-bomb
attack. Military convoy targeted in deadly suicide attack
claimed by al-Shabab in Somali capital.
{New Trend kept the
unIslamic wording. It should be martyrdom attack...editor. We
try to clarify or change the headlines.]
A Somali general and several bodyguards have been killed
after their military convoy was hit by a suicide car-bomb
blast that was claimed by the hard-line Al-Shabab group.
General Mohamed Roble Jimale, also known as "Goobaanle", and
several Somali soldiers died in the attack in Somalia's
capital on Sunday, police colonel Abdikadir Farah told
Reuters news agency.
"There was a heavy blast caused by a car loaded with
explosives alongside the industrial road, several members of
the military were killed in the incident including a senior
commander," security official Abdiaziz Mohamed to AFP news
agency.
The general was the commander of the army's Third Brigade.
He had fought al-Shabab since 2007, leading troops who
battled the fighters in several neighbourhoods of the
capital until they were forced out in 2011.
The attack took place after the convoy had left a military
hospital and was heading towards the defence ministry.
Witnesses said the vehicle was travelling on the road when
another vehicle rammed it, causing a massive explosion.
"The blast was very huge, I saw smoke and fire overshadowing
the whole area," said witness Abdi Hassan.
The attack was claimed by al-Shabab in a statement released
by its Andalus radio station. It said "a mujahid [fighter]
was martyred as his suicide car bomb killed General
Goobaanle", using the general's nickname.
Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud sent his
condolences to the general's family, his spokesman said.
MOGADISHU, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Somalia's Islamist militant
group al Shabaab attacked a town in a region near Kenya's
border, killing at least seven Somali soldiers, the group
and Somali officials said.
Al Shabaab, which regularly attacks Somali forces in its
campaign to oust Somalia's Western-backed government, pulled
its fighters out of El Wak overnight, residents said on
Saturday.
"We captured five military vehicles and killed several
members of the government forces," al Shabaab's military
operations spokesman Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab told Reuters
after the assault was launched on Friday afternoon.
