Ma'bad al-Juhaini narrates that Muawiyyah, r.a., seldom
narrated hadith but some teachings of the Prophet, pbuh, he
narrated frequently. For instance at Juma' he quoted from
the Prophet, pbuh, that Allah gives true understanding of
religion to one whom He wants to bless, and that the wealth
of the world is very attractive, so one who takes from it
with honesty and goodness, it brings him religious
exaltation, and one who flatters you and praises you to your
face is cutting the throat of your spirituality.
[Musnad of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, hadith # 16971]
Comment by Kaukab Siddique: Muwaiyya, r.a., turned out to be
one of the greatest Muslims of his time. He was blessed by
the Prophet, pbuh, to be the writer of several revelations
of the Qur'an. His caliphate was a time of Muslim unity and
outstanding victories for Islam. He remained humble although
he had total support from the Muslims including Hasan and
Hussain, r.a., the sons of Ali, r.a., with both of whom he
was compassionate and generous. He has been targeted by the
Shia sect for all kinds of abuse. I have the complete set of
the 130 hadith he narrated and there is not ONE WORD in it
against Ali, r.a. and his supporters. Notice the teachings
of the prophet, pbuh, which he is transmitting here:
Understanding of religion is a blessing from Allah.
Use of wealth with wisdom is a high religious
quality.
Flattery is extremely damaging.
One reason why the Shias hate him so much is that Ali, r.a.,
could not defeat Muawiyya, r.a.,
Another is that by maligning him, Shias can abuse Umar,
r.a., who recognized his leadership qualities and made
governor of the northern provinces, and Usman, r.a., who
made him commander of Islamic armies and he won some of the
greatest victories of Islam.
AFGHANISTAN
Hundreds of Civilians killed in Huge Bomb Blast unloaded in
Afghanistan
vs
American Claims
The prominent Urdu daily Jasarat of Pakistan noted on April
14 that hundreds of civilians in Nagarhar province of
Afghanistan were killed when USA on April 13 unloaded MOAB,
the biggest bomb in the American arsenal.
After the attack, USA media claimed that 36 Islamic State
fighters were killed in the attack and NO civilians were
hurt. On April 14, USA media raised the number of deaths to
94 but added that it could rise further.
According to Jasarat there are hundreds of burnt bodies
scattered over the bombed area.
The Islamic State medi AMAQ says that none of its fighters
were killed in the massive bomb assault: Only civilians were
killed.
Former Afghan leader Karzai who once supported USA has
condemned the bomb assault as an assault on all of
Afghanistan and the Muslim world.
[New Trend Ed. note: America does not have the right to
occupy or bomb Afghanistan. The regime in Kabul was
installed by USA and fake elections were held under the guns
of American forces with the support of the Shia community.
Kabul letting USA bomb Afghanistan is a travesty of
international law and the independence of Afghanistan.]
Big Bomb Attack is like an Attack on Islamabad, says JI.
by Ameer al-Azeem
LAHORE, Apr. 16; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Paksitan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has said that the attack of the Mother of Bombs
at the Pak- Afghan border was an attack on Islamabad and the
silence of the rulers in this regard was a question
mark.
Addressing a JI Youth convention at Peshawar on Sunday, he
said that nothing good was expected of the US which had
devastated Japan during the second World War by dropping two
nuclear bombs. The US he said, wanted to destroy this entire
region. However, he said, that the silence of the rulers on
this attack was a matter of deep concern.
Sirajul Haq said that as and when there was a talk for
Afghan peace, the US hatched a conspiracy to sabotage these
efforts. He said the only way to restore peace in
Afghanistan was that the US pulled out its forces from
there.
The JI chief said the people of the tribal areas wanted
their merger with Khyber P. but the government had kept
silence after making an announcement in this respect. He
said the government was under the misconception that the
tribal people would remain silent on the issue. The people
of the tribal areas would not rest till the oppressive FCR
was abolished.
Sirajul Haq said that terrorism was the gift of Pervez
Musharraf who bowed his head to a threat from Washington and
the nation was suffering its consequences till today.
He said that the PML(N) leader had promised to end load
shedding of electricity within three months. It was the
fourth year of their ruler but there seemed to be no end to
energy shortage.
Sirajul Haq said that the future of the country rested with
its young generation.

April 14: A 57-year old Palestinian stabbed and killed a
British student visiting Jerusalem.
Palestinians lack guns while Israeli occupiers are heavily
armed.
Japanese Occupation of China
This was Br. Kris's weekly section, but since his death we
have used the section for something in his memory.
The book shown below is an extraordinary book that Br.Kris
was reading before his passing. We note this here in his
memory:
The book documents the terrible atrocities commited by the
Japenese army when it occupied China. The western countries
wanted to use Japan, so they did not publicize these events.
The book documents in photos the horrific nature of the
atrocities, including mass rapes, burial alive of prisoners,
mass humiliation, and enslavement.
The most positive aspect of the book is that one man who had
helped to setup a safe zone on the outskirts of Nanking
saved the lives and honor of thousands of Chinese people.
He was a close confidant and supporter of Adolf Hitler.
At the end of the war, when he went back to Germany owing to
the collapse of the economic structure, he was poverty
stricken and lived out of garbage cans.
However, the Chinese people remembered him and after a while
they found him and sent him thousands of gifts and money and
honored him forever.
Note from the Editor: It is wrong to paint Hitler's people
as always being brutal and continuing to ignore the good
that many of them did prevents us from seeing historical
truth. It's time for us to get away from war-time propoganda
and face only the facts.
Africa
From an Extensive report about the destruction of Africa
[Excerpt, via Prof Rezak on Facebook]
By: Mawuna Remarque KOUTONIN
When tourists visit sub-Saharan Africa, they often wonder
"Why there are no historical buildings or monuments?"
The reason is simple. Europeans have destroyed most of them.
We have only left drawings and descriptions by travelers who
have visited the places before the destructions. In some
places, ruins are still visible. Many cities have been
abandoned into ruin when Europeans brought exotic diseases
(smallpox and influenza) which started spreading and killing
people. The ruins of those cities are still hidden. In fact
the biggest part of Africa history is still under the
ground.
In this post, I'll share pieces of informations about Africa
before the arrival of Europeans, the destroyed cities and
lessons we could learn as africans for the future.
The collection of facts regarding the state of african
cities before their destruction is done by Robin Walker, a
distinguished panafricanist and historian who has written
the book 'When We Ruled', and by PD Lawton, another great
panafricanist, who has an upcoming book titled "African
Agenda".
All quotes and excerpts below are from the books of Robin
Walker and PD Lawton. I highly recommend you to buy Walker's
book 'When We Ruled' to get a full account of the beauty of
the continent before its destruction. You can get more info
about PD Lawton work by visiting her blog:
AfricanAgenda.net
Robin Walter and PD Lawton have quoted quite heavily another
great panafricanist Walter Rodney who wrote the book 'How
Europe Underdeveloped Africa'. Additional information came
from YouTube channel 'dogons2k12 : African Historical
Ruins', and Ta Neter Foundation work.
Many drawings are from the book African Cities and Towns
Before the European Conquest by Richard W. Hull, published
in 1976. That book alone dispels the stereotypical view of
Africans living in simple, primitive, look-alike
agglomerations, scattered without any appreciation for
planning and design.
In fact, at the end of the 13th century, when a european
traveler encountered the great Benin City in West Africa
(present Nigeria, Edo State), he wrote as follows:
"The town seems to be very great. When you enter into it,
you go into a great broad street, not paved, which seems to
be seven or eight times broader than the Warmoes street in
Amsterdam...The Kings palace is a collection of buildings
which occupy as much space as the town of Harlem, and which
is enclosed with walls. There are numerous apartments for
the Prince's ministers and fine galleries, most of which are
as big as those on the Exchange at Amsterdam. They are
supported by wooden pillars encased with copper, where their
victories are depicted, and which are carefully kept very
clean. The town is composed of thirty main streets, very
straight and 120 feet wide, apart from an infinity of small
intersecting streets. The houses are close to one another,
arranged in good order. These people are in no way inferior
to the Dutch as regards cleanliness; they wash and scrub
their houses so well that they are polished and shining like
a looking glass." (Source: Walter Rodney, 'How Europe
Underdeveloped Africa, pg. 69)
Sadly, in 1897, Benin City was destroyed by British forces
under Admiral Harry Rawson. The city was looted, blown up
and burnt to the ground. A collection of the famous Benin
Bronzes are now in the British Museum in London. Part of the
700 stolen bronzes by the British troops were sold back to
Nigeria in 1972.

Text:
Alif. Lam. Mim. The Romans have been overcome in the
neighboring land, and within 10 years after their defeat,
they shall be victorious. Allah's is the authority before as
well as afterwards. And it will be the day when the
believers will rejoice in the victory granted by Allah.
Allah helps whomsoever He wills: He is the All-Mighty, the
All-Merciful. This is Allah's promise: Allah never breaks
His promise; but most people do not know. [Sura 30. Verses
1-6]
Sura 30 announced a miracle of the Qur'an. At that time
the two superpowers were Persia and Rome. The Persians had
defeated the Romans. The Qur'an predicted that within 10
years the Romans would win and then the Muslims would win
too. [Bid in Arabic is a number up to 10.]
The most amazing part of this prediction was that the
Muslims would win too. They were a negligible force when the
prediction was made and Persians were steadily overrunning
the Roman empire. This sura was revealed in Makka before the
hijra [migration] to Madina at the time of migration to
Africa.
The Romans did emerge victorious within that time frame,
Later, when the Prophet, pbuh, greeted the Persians and gave
them the choice between accepting the ONE Creator and going
to Paradise or continuing in falsehood and going to hell,
their ruler laughed and ordered that the Prophet, pbuh, be
brought to him in chains made of gold.
Relevant to our situation is the fact that Allah did not
tell Muslims to side with either empire. Many commentators
have made the mistake of thinking that the Quran was siding
with Rome. [They add their comments to the Qur'an within
brackets!]
We see that the Russians who had never been defeated even
by Hitler and Napoleon and had occupied all of eastern
Europe were forced to retreat by the poorly armed Muslims of
Afghanistan.
The Americans are going around dropping bombs here and
there and now they have dropped their biggest bomb on
Afghanistan.
America can never win against Islam because we have the
Qur'an and the Sunnah. In the Qur'an and the Example, we
have the power to win against any superpower. Very few
Muslims are fighting but even then Islam is steadily
winning.
In America, we have a peaceful movement but the power of
the Qur'an is bringing people to Islam.
We can win big time in America if we understand and
oppose the evil which is crushing the people of this
country.Like the Persian and Roman empires, modern America
has made sex slaves out of millions of women. They are
treated like targets for male lust, perversions and
violence.
Pornography is a multi- billion dollar industry in
America. Every home and every individual is receiving
sickening porno videos depicting women as sex slaves at the
service of men. The women are shown simply as objects of sex
or merely sex organs being used as objects by men.
This sexual filth is being poured into Muslim countries
too as part of America's cultural imperialism, attempting to
destroy the family system in Africa and
Pakistan-India-Bangladesh. Go to any Internet café in Africa
or Pakistan and you can check what young people have been
watching.
Homosexuality is another tool of Zionism and
Imperialism. If homo sex is okay, then who can stop adultery
and random hetero sex?
The Internet is humming with blatant abuse aimed at
Islam, in particular the Prophet, pbuh, and Ayesha, r.a. We
need Muslim committees to work as volunteers to
counterattack the enemies of Islam on line.
Study the Qur'an and hadith in hard copy. On line
distortions are happening. Anybody can post anything, so be
careful.
Du'a: O Allah save our youths from drug addiction. Give us
spouses and children. who will stand with us for Islam. Help
us to study Qur'an and hadith daily. Give us unity,
compassion and awareness.
Invitation to Think
from Br.Robert Solano
Br. Solano's Comment on Jamaat al-Muslimeen Statement about
22000 pound Bomb unloaded on Afghanistan: " Anything and
everything 'Tromp' does to make us forget the elections and
his selection by Putin will not work. Killing Muslims with
the largest non-nuclear bomb will not make us forget. The
impeachment might take two years but he will have to resign
in the same manner that Richard Nixon did."
- AmericanMuslimBrotherhood@yahoogroups.com
April 13th Statement from Jamaat al-Muslimeen regarding
America's Big Bomb Drop:
Today USA dropped its biggest bomb on the poorest province
of the poorest Muslim country. Arrogant challenge by Trump
to the Muslim world: Bow down otherwise we will bomb you.
Atom bombs next?
Trump does not realize that Islam cannot be destroyed by
dropping big bombs on it. Afghanistan should have taught a
lesson by now but people with big guns don't think.
Think back 1979-80: Soviet armies came in and conquered
Afghanistan in three weeks. Years later the SOVIETS HAD TO
WITHDRAW UNILATERALLY and the Soviet empire collapsed.
Osama bin Laden was bombed in Tora Bora day after day. He
not only survived but came out to organize worldwide armed
resistance.
America not only bombed Afghanistan but occupied it with the
COMBINED FORCES of NATO. Again Taliban are in control of
most of 60 % of the country. Now ISIS is coming and gets hit
hard by America. Result? There wil be an outburst of support
for the Islamic State. Muslims are no longer afraid of
American power.
God knows how many Trump has killed with this one huge bomb.
Perhaps hundreds. As khalid ibn al-Waleed, r.a., said
Muslims love death more than the oppressors love life.
Afghans are the last people you should try to scare. Bombs
cannot destroy Islam. These people pray, fast, give zakat
and do jihad. A steady stream of them are LEAVING TALIBAN
and Joining the Islamic State. Mr. TrumpL Think before you
drop more bombs. Even if you drop atom bombs, you cannot win
against Islam.
Think! In 25 weeks you havent been able to take Mosul. You
just lost the little you had gained in Afghanistan. Right
across the border in Pakistan, an entire UNIVERSITY BODY
rose up and killed a blasphemer whom the regime was allowing
to abuse Islam. And these are not fighters but university
people.
I hope the arrogance of American power will be restrained by
thoughtful Americans.

PAKISTAN
The Mardan Incident: Online Blasphemy is Attracting Anger
from Muslim Students.
[From New Trend's media monitor]
At Wali Khan University in Mardan, a man named Mishal was
blaspheming on line. Whenever he would be found out, he
would claim it wasn't him but someone else. Then he would
re-appear and continue to insult Islam.
This went on and the Pakistan regime did nothing. Finally
the students rose up, the entire community of them, and
attacked Mishal and killed him and only wounded his friends
when they repented. Mishal did not repent The crowd was so
big that the police said they had no way of stopping them or
even confronting them. The police say the students were even
trying to burn Mishal's body.
It is reported that Mishal had been to Russia and came back
to join the Communist group of students.
The entire corpus of lefties, "liberals", PPP and seculars
are now crying out aloud that Mishal should have received a
fair trial. Unfortunately they did not condemn blasphemy and
did not call for legal measures BEFORE the students rose
up.
Pakistan is based on the love and honor of the Prophet,
pbuh. The seculars who support the superpowers have
infiltrated the media, "charitable" organizations and
art-and-dance organizations. They think the most effective
way of de-Islamizing Pakistan is to make blasphemy as merely
a form of expression as in America. It's a worldwide
movement as we saw in the attempts to support cartoons of
the Prophet, pbuh, in France, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark and
USA.
Pathans who constitute the majority of people in Mardan and
most of the northern areas of Pakistan are passionate in
their love of Islam. They are the frontline of the Islamic
integrity of Pakistan.
[With thanks to Br. Sajjad and many other people in the
frontier areas of Pakistan who have posted the originak info
on Mishal as proof of his blasphemy and the regime's
attempts to ignore the blasphemy. Also we note attempts by
the secularist PPP group which is trying to create
diversions to delegitimize the public disgust with the abuse
by Mishal.]

Top Islamic Leader's Comments on Mardan, Indian spy, Kashmir
and American Meddling in Muslim countries.
by Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, Apr. 15: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has said that had the government framed laws in
connection with blasphemy, the incident of Mardan University
would not have occurred. He was talking to the media after
presiding over the khatme Bukhari ceremony at Jamia Qasimul
Uloom, Sargodha, on Saturday.
The JI chief said that the statements of the Prime Minister
and the Defense Minister in support of secularism were a
violation of the constitution. If Pakistan was a secular
state, how does it fit in the background of the Quaid e
Azam's numerous statements declaring the Quran and the
Sunnah as the constitution of Pakistan, he asked.
Sirajul Haq asked the Prime Minister and the Defense
Minister if countless people in the sub continent had
offered their lives for this country only for economic
considerations.
The JI chief deplored that while India was killing innocent
Kashmiris in cold blood, the rulers in Islamabad were
totally unconcerned. He said that Pakistan was being
governed by Moghul princes who were running the country in
the manner as if they had been given the country on
contract. He said that millions of rupees were being spent
annually on the decoration of the President and the Prime
Minister houses while the country was under heavy debt.
He announced that the JI on coming into power, would
distribute the Jagirs/ big land holdings of the feudal lords
among landless tillers.
Sirajul Haq said there was no need to be cowed down by New
Delhi's threats on Kulboshun [India's spy captured by
Pakistan]. He warned that if Kulboshun was also released
like Raymond Davis [CIA agent], India would infiltrate many
more spies in this country.
He said that as long as the US forces were present in the
region, there could not be peace. He said that all those who
looked up to the west for guidance and support, would fail
in the long run.
Jamiat e Ittehad ul Ulema e Pakistan President Maulana Abdul
Ma'alik, and Prof. Irfan Ahmed also addressed the
gathering.

Somalia
US Elite Forces back in Somalia
According to the Daily Telegraph, elements of the elite US
101st Airborne Division have arrived in Somalia to help the
regime fight al-Shabab.
[The Islamic group has captured most of Somalia but cannot
take the major cities because it lacks heavy weapons].
Syria
Bombing, Shelling continues against Muslims. Kurds Enter
al-Tabaqa. Huge Bomb Blast hit Shi'ite Civilian
Evacuees.
April 15. The US "coalition" bombed Islamic State areas near
Deir ex Zor killing 8 civilians including 4 children.
Also April 15. Assad's jet fighters carried out 40 raids on
the city of Daraa which is the stronghold of the Islamic
group known as FSA. [This is where the uprising began in
2011.] Hizbullah then fired artillery and rockets at Daraa.
Losses are unknown.
Earlier an attempt on April 11 by Assad's regime forces to
enter Daraa failed when FSA mujahideen killed 16 of Assad's
troops including 3 officers, one of whom was a colonel
In the same province, Jaysh Khalid ibn al-Waleed fighters
have joined the Islamic State and entrenched themselves in a
part of the province.
At the Qaboun entrance to Damascus, the regime fired 4
ground to ground missiles at FSA mujahideen trying to enter
the city.
Also, April 11-15, Russian and Assad jets bombed villages in
the provinces of Hama and Idlib. Some of the target villages
went up in flames.
Also, US jets struck the village of Sukkarieh in southeast
Syria on the Iraq border killing 8 civilians who had fled
all the way from Aleppo.
Kurdish SDF forces backed by the US air force entered the
outlying area of al-Tabaqa [on the way to the Islamic
capital al-Raqqa] At least 25 IS fighters were killed
resisting the SDF advance. Then by mistake, the US air force
bombed SDF killing 18 of its own supporters.
An exchange of populations between the mujahideen villages
of Madaya and Zabadani and the Shi'ite-Alawite villages of
al-Fuah and Kafriya has begun. About 2000 people plus 400
fighters have been moved from the two Islamic villages to
Idlib province and 5000 shias have been transferred from
al-Fuah and Kafriya to regime occupied west Aleppo.
Transfers are expected to continue into May.
Also April 15: During the transfer of the shias there was a
long pause because the shias wanted to bring out 200 of
their fighters to replace 200 of the civilians. During this
stalemate, someone exploded a huge car bomb among the
stranded evacuees. The death toll has risen to 129 by April
16, including scores of children and 12 of the Ahrar al-Sham
fighters protecting the evacuees.
Revenge is proliferating in Syria after the bombing of
Aleppo and other cities by Russian jets and Iranian
artillery which has killed more than 5000 Muslim
civilians.
The regime destroyed all the civilian facilities in Madaya
and Zabadani which forced the citizens defending the cities
to agree to evacuation in exchange for removal of Shia
villages al-Fuah and Kafriya located in the north of the
Islamic province of Idlib. Both sides could not defeat their
opposition in the 4 cities. The Muslim cities were starving
while the shia ones were supplied by the Russian air
force.
It is seen as a typical "victory" for Assad because Madaya
and Zabadani are near the Lebanese border and the evacuation
of these populations opens up the easy route for Assad's
connection with the Hizbullah shia militia of Lebanon.

Iraq
Mosul Week 26. Trump Week 12
Surprises for Baghdad Regime and Western Coalition.
Senior Shia Commander Killed. Areas of Iraq under IS.
During this week, the Shiah armada advanced 200 yards into
West Mosul but was beaten back. The Shia forces suffered
heavy losses as the ISIS fighters resisted from house to
house.
Among the regime troops killed was a top battlefield
commander.
AFP has pointed out that many other areas of Iraq are under
control of the Islamic State.
Among these the most astonishing report is that 1600 IS
mujahideen have gathered in Diyala province near the border
wit Iran.
Also, Hawija and large parts of Kirkuk province are under IS
control.
Similar is the situation in areas west of Mosul as well as
in western Anbar province. Repeated attacks by radical
militias on Tal Afar, which is the route to Syria, have
failed.
The US-backed regime does a lot of propaganda against IS
which sometimes requires research to find out what is
happening. Almost two months back, the Shias said that their
forces are approaching the central mosque in Mosul in which
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi gave his well known speech. BBC pointed
out that the IS flag is still flying on the mosque.

Berkeley, California
A crowd of nearly 1000 pro-Trump, anti-Trump Demonstrators
clashed in Berkeley
Reuters Report. April 16.
By Noel Randewich |
BERKELEY, Calif. A melee erupted on Saturday in a Berkeley,
California park where supporters and opponents of President
Donald Trump were holding competing rallies, resulting in at
least 20 arrests as police struggled to keep the two camps
apart.
As fist fights broke out between the two sides and people
threw bottles and cans over a barricade separating them,
police resorted to using to an explosive device at one point
in a bid to restore order.
Several people were observed by a Reuters reporter with
bloodied faces and minor injuries, but there was no official
word on casualties from authorities. Media, citing police,
reported that at least 11 people were injured.
Police said more arrests could follow after video shot
during the melee was reviewed.
The trouble unfolded when hundreds of Trump opponents staged
a counter-rally alongside an event billed as a "Patriots
Day" free-speech rally and picnic, organized by mostly Trump
supporters
VIEWPOINT
Downfall of the Muslims: A Review
How Religious Groups like Tablighi Jamaat are used by
Secular Regimes.
(Part-6) Dr. Firoz Mahboob Kamal
The moral disability & the fallout
The most important cause of Muslims' downfall is not any
natural disaster or economic collapse or any epidemic of a
killer disease. It is indeed the moral disability that has
brought them to the current quagmire. Such disability even
kills any fresh attempt to rise up as a civilizational force
on earth. If not treated, the ongoing disability can bring
moral death. A man survives only as an animal with human
shape. None of the physical disabilities brings such a
disgraceful end to a man or woman. In the history of
mankind, such disabilities caused catastrophic calamities
-much worse than any earthquake, epidemic or tsunamis.
Hundreds of earthquakes or epidemics couldn't kill 75
million people; but only two World Wars could kill more than
that. The ugliest crimes like colonial genocides,
imperialist occupations, ethnic cleansings, slave trading,
gas chambers, World Wars, and dropping of barrel bombs,
chemical bombs, drones and nuclear bombs are indeed the
works of these morally disables.
Moral disability takes humans to a level much inferior to
animals; the Qur'anic narratives like "ula'ika ka'al an'am,
bal hum adal" (meaning: they are like cattle, rather
inferior to them) gives testimony to that. The annals of
history abundantly display such terrible ills. Like animal,
such ill people become insensitive to Truth; even miracles
make no impact on them. Cattle search for only for water,
grass and grazing fields; they do not ponder on Truth.
Hence, the miracles like resurrection of the dead, cure of
the born-blind, walking across the sea, foods coming down
from the sky, water gushing out of a stone -as shown by
Prophet Isa (peace be upon him), and Prophet Musa (peace be
upon him), utterly failed to impress them. For the same
reason, today, the morally disabled Muslims are turning a
blind eye to the horrendous crimes of the imperialists
against the Muslims. So, the killers, the occupiers and the
bombers are taken as close friends. Even millions of Muslims
registrar as the mercenaries to fight their war.
No nation collapsed or disappeared from the history for any
physical disability. It is the moral collapse or lewdness
that destroyed many nations in the past; and ruined the
Muslims as the civilizational power. What could be the worst
disgrace for the Muslims that many Muslim countries stand
top in the list of the most corrupt countries in the world!
What is the impact of their faith and prayers? About 1.5
billion Muslims claim that they believe in Islam; more than
a billion take part in five-time daily prayer and month-long
fasting in Ramadan; and several millions perform haj and
umrah each year; but that couldn't help them to come out of
awful moral illness. It owes to a total shift in their
agenda of survival. They do not bother about their moral
failures. They are so much deluded with the pleasure of
worldly gains that corruption has become the major tool of
their survival. Hence, "enjoining the right and eradicating
the wrong (a'maru bil ma'ruf wa nehi'anil munkar)" - the
obligatory Qur'anic mission, enjoys little importance in
their practical life. Instead, they are engaged exactly in
the opposite mission; so they relish corruption, crimes and
even serving in the enemy armies.
Such a shift in the purpose of survival has generated a new
set of self-serving priorities and political culture at all
levels. This is why, even the worst despots do not face any
shortage of supporters on the street. Even those who are
known as imams, sheikhs and religious scholars also rub
their shoulder with them. A'maru bil ma'ruf wa nehi'anil
munkar is not an issue for them; and sharia, hudud, khilafa,
and jihad have no place in their life. The Muslims thus
display the vilest betrayal of the Cause of Allah Sub'hana
wa Ta'la. It tells a lot about the severity of their moral
illness. How can such betrayal bring any blessing from Him?
Awfully, it has incapacitated them fully to understand even
the dire consequences of the disease. Hence, how could Allah
Sub'hana wa Ta'la select such sick people to accomplish His
Own vision? So, the Muslims now stand unseated from the
position of His khalifa. They show fitness only to work as
khalifa of the internal and external enemies of Islam!
The best deed & the worst crime
Moral disease is the commonest and the most calamitous
disease of the mankind. Even the physically fit people are
not immune to it. Now, it prevails as a global epidemic.
Awfully, the damage is eternal. Not only it inflicts a
catastrophic damage to the worldly life, but also takes the
diseased men or women to eternal hellfire. The virus of the
disease is conceptual. Hence, the disease run through
thoughts, beliefs and ideologies. Since the pathology lies
in soul, can be treated only by curative thoughts, beliefs
and ideologies -as was the methodology of all Divine
prophets. For that, the holy Qur'an exist as the only final
prescription. In the history of mankind, only the holy
Qur'an has proven the full treatment efficacy; as treated
successfully one of the most morally diseased people on
earth 14 hundred years ago. No other prescription has shown
similar success in any part of the world in any time. In
fact, here lies the greatest and the unique strength of
Islam. It possesses the most important and the only curative
prescription for the moral ills of the mankind. This is why,
Islam is the only target of all satanic forces on earth. In
the whole length of human history, never worked such a huge
global coalition against any faith as it is now against
resurgence of Islam.
The deprivation of Divine knowledge is lethal; it leads to
death of soul. It is indeed the greatest catastrophe in an
individual's life and also for the destiny of the mankind.
Men and women then survive only as a biological entity; but
possess full physical ability to commit the worst crime.
Thus they possess the full potentials to add worst
calamities not only to their own lives, but also to others.
The world enters into disastrous wars and World Wars only
because of such morally dead people. So, it is the most
important task on earth to remove this deprivation of Divine
knowledge. People can grow cattle, grains, fruits and
vegetables, but can't grow food for soul. It is the
exclusive domain of Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'la. Hence, He sent
down the angel with the Divine knowledge to His apostles to
address this crucial issue. And the holy Qur'an survives as
the final and the only unadulterated source of such
knowledge. So, it is the only life line of moral survival of
the whole mankind. Hence it is the greatest deed to adhere
to this Qur'anic knowledge. And it is greatest crime to get
delinked from that life line of Qur'anic knowledge. So, the
prophet (peace be upon him) of Islam therefore said, "Those
who learn Qur'an and teach Qur'an are the best people on
earth". Hence, Islam has a crucial role to play.
The disease as a religion
The denial of cure of the moral ills has other calamities;
it becomes the satanic obsession to live with the disease.
Then, it thrives as a culture. Such culture may even survive
as a religion -as happened in India. This is why, the most
primitive falsehood like idolatry, cow worshipping, snake
worshipping, river worshipping and such other practices
could survive as a powerful popular culture in India through
millenniums. Such cultural cum religious bulwark could
effectively protect the falsehood against the Qur'anic Truth
during six hundred years' Muslim rule in India. Billions of
dollars are being spent in India every year to build and
maintain temples, seminaries and other cultural institutions
to strengthen such cultural fortification. It has also
proven that false propaganda could do miracles; it could
promote idols, cows, monkeys and snakes to the rank of
goddess. And in such jingoistic cultural milieu,
slaughtering cows is a punishable crime but not massacring
the Muslims or demolishing mosques. The people thus take
huge pride in becoming the defender of falsehood. Therefore,
those who want to survive with falsehood and defy Truth
-
The replication of Indian model
Since ancient ignorance could survive in India even in
modern days with its perfect primitive originality, India
works as a perfect model for those who want to stand against
Islam. Now the Indian model of cultural fortification
against the resurgence of Islam is being replicated all over
the Muslim World. Since conversion to idol worshipping, cow
worshipping, or snake worshipping doesn't work in the Muslim
World, the enemies of Islam have deployed other hybrid
strategies. The fortification against resurgence of Islam is
being done in the form of a cocktail of nationalism,
regionalism, traditionalism, secularism, racism, monarchism,
tribalism and other parochial obsessions. Every day, they
are inventing new means of distraction from Islamic revival.
Billions of dollars are being spent in such projects in the
Muslim countries. Thousands of institutions are built by the
western money in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan,
Palestine, Iraq, Syria and other Muslims countries to run
dance, drama, sports and music classes. As if, these are the
cause of Muslims' downfall and miseries! As a part of the
project, the Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has
become a great fan of kite flying and Diwali. In Bangladesh,
the nationalists have become very chauvinistic with the
spring festival, new year festival and very recently started
with light worshipping in the name of so-called mangal
prodip (the lamp of good fortune). To make it integrated
with the on-going anti-Islamic cultural cum ideological
engineering, the hard core secularists are asking to make it
obligatory in the school curriculum. The Afghans and Kurds
are fuelled with the new sense of pride and festivity on
Nowruz. And in the Arab World, the people are being
encouraged to get anchored to their local tribal
traditions.
Incompetence for Islam and the complicity in the crime
So the prognosis appears very gloomy; every day the Muslims
are drifting to a new low. The physical disabilities may
make people frail to do anything good or bad; but that
doesn't kill the moral ability to know the right from the
wrong. Nor does it destroy the ability to worship the
Almighty Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'la. Hence, the physically ill
people can still pursue the straight path towards the
paradise. But, moral disability brings the worst calamity;
much worse than a wild cancer. It kills the soul and the
morality. Thus it destroys the whole purpose of Islam. Islam
wants that every human must live with the Divine Truth. He
or she must work as a witness as well as the defender of the
Truth. Nothing is more important than this in human life.
For that, he or she is called khalifa of Allah Sub'hana wa
Ta'la, and his job turns into a life-long jihad. And those
who dies in defending the Truth is called shaheed -the
greatest honour that a man can achieve in his life.
But those who have dead soul can't have the true faith and
execute the prescribed job. A seed can't grow on a stone.
Likewise, the Qur'anic Truth can't flourish on a dead soul.
This is why, recital and memorisation of the holy Qur'an
doesn't help those who are morally dead or disable. In fact,
the powerful Qur'anic verses are falling on many of these
dead souls. Of millions who recite the holy Qur'an every
day, a very few could come out as the defender of Truth.
Such people make themselves unfit for any Divine guidance.
Proclaiming belief in Islam and reciting Qur'an is not
enough, it has other implication. A believer must live with
the assigned mission. Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'la reveals His
Own disappointment on those who distract from the belief and
disengage from the assigned mission. So, He reveals, "How
shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their
belief and has witnessed that the Messenger is true and
clear signs had come to them and Allah does not guide the
oppressors?" -(Sura al-Imran, verse 86).
Such distraction from Islamic belief and its mission is
indeed the most common disease among the Muslims. Such
disease makes them morally sick, hypocrite and wrongdoer.
Moreover, it makes them morally incompetent to stand for the
Divine Truth. Whereas, a Muslim must show his competence not
only in standing for five time prayers and other rituals;
but also for sharia, hudud, shura, khilafa and other basics
of Islam -as was the practice of every companions of the
prophet. This is indeed the bench mark of every Muslim in
all ages. Only this way he can pass the obligatory tests in
this life and enter paradise. About the test, Allah Sub'hana
wa Ta'la reveals, "Do you think that you will enter paradise
while Allah has not yet known those who did jihad among you
and those who are steadfast?" -(Sura al-Imran, verse
142).
Incompetence to stand for Islam doesn't build up alone; it
makes people directly or indirectly complicit in serious
crime against Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'la. People then work as
mercenaries in the army of enemies, as happened in almost
every occupational war of the enemies in the Muslim lands
-as happening now in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan.
Because of such blatant complicity of the Muslims in crime
against Islam, the Muslims have lost many vital things.
Sharia, hudud, shura, khilafa, trans-ethnic Muslim ummah and
other qur'anic basics have become non-existent in the Muslim
World. Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'la never recruits witness
(shuhada) or defender (mujahid) for His deen from these
morally dead or disable people. Nor does He guide these
people towards the paradise. Hence come the repeatedly
pronounced Qur'anic warnings:"la'yahdi'Allahu
qaomazzalimeen","la'yahdi'Allahu qaomal
ka'firun","la'yahdi'Allahu qaomal
munafiqun","la'yahdi'Allahu qaomal fasiqun" (meaning: Allah
doesn't guide the oppressors, the disbelievers, the
hypocrites and the wrongdoers). And, those who are deprived
of His guidance, they can only pursue a path towards the
eternal hellfire. Therefore, downfall in this world is not
the only calamity; the worst awaits in the hereafter.
The abuse of rituals
The enemies of Islam never preach idolatry to take the
Muslims back to the old days of primitive ignorance. They
use and abuse Islam's obligatory rituals to divert them from
the core objective of Islam. And the core objective of Islam
is not to promote few selective pillars of Islam like five
time prayer, fasting, haj, etc. Rather, to build the whole
house of Islam. It is all about bringing an overwhelming
victory of the Qur'anic code of life with its entirety over
all brands of falsehood. Because, it is the only road map to
save people from hellfire, nothing is more important for the
mankind than working with this agenda.
But awfully, a lot of harms have already been done to the
Muslims and to the mankind by abusing Islam's own
prescription. One of the 5 pillars of Islam is five-time
daily prayer; but it is being badly abused not only to
belittle other pillars, but also to dismantle the project of
building the whole house of Islam. A prescription of a
physician may contain a combination of 5 very important
medicines to save a patient's life -as it a common practice
in treating a complicated disease. But, if anyone emphasize
only one medicine and ignore the other four then it would be
equal to inviting death to the patient. It is indeed a
homicidal crime. The aim of the prescription is to save a
life using all suggested medication; not to glorify a
specific item. Likewise, a horrendous crime is going on
against the holistic prescription of Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'la
in the name of promoting five time prayer. The whole
objective of Islam to move with its entire Qur'anic
prescription; not to promote a single pillar -whatever
important it may be. The whole house cum civilisation of
Islam can't be built on a few pillars. Along with the
pillars, it also needs a huge infrastructure of an Islamic
state and its numerous state institutions. It is so
fundamental and so indispensable that the prophet (peace be
upon him) of Islam and his companions didn't make any
mistake to understand its importance. In fact, here lies the
greatest gap of understanding between the Muslims of early
days and today. So the outcomes are also different. They
could attain victory after victory. But, today, the Muslims
are sliding to new low every day.
Example of using some pillars of Islam to undermine the
others and even the whole project of Islam is huge. Works of
an organisation called Tablighi Jama'at provide an
illustrative example. Tablighi Jama'at has invented some new
methodology -which were non-existent in prophet's day, to
distract the Muslims from some highly important Islamic
obligations. Like the surge of sufism in the past, Tablighi
Jama'at got a huge growth in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan,
Malaysia and many other countries. Its main emphasis is to
call the Muslims to the practice of five times prayer. The
preachers of this organisation seldom talk about
implementation of sharia, hudud, shura, khilafa, Islamic
state and jihad. Surprisingly, they have no enmity even with
the worst enemy of Islam. They have no quarrel even with the
most corrupt and despotic governments of the Muslim
countries. Bombs, chemical bombs, barrel bombs, drones and
missiles are falling on Muslim men, women and children
almost every day. Even many secularists and non-Muslims come
to the streets to protest against them. But, they keep their
eye blind and mouth tongue-tied vis-à-vis what is happening
in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and many other Muslim
countries. As if, they have seen nothing and have listened
nothing. The same is true with the most of the imams,
religious leaders and the common Muslims. In the name of
focussing on prayers or other rituals, they stay blind on
ongoing deaths, rapes and destruction in the Muslim World.
They also pay blind eye on dismantling of sharia, hudud,
khilafa, and the Muslim unity. Such self-imposed blindness
or silence is highly punishable active crime, and will be
awarded with eternal blindness in the hereafter. So, the
warning comes, "And whoever is blind in this life, will also
be blind in the Hereafter and more deviating from the way."
-(Sura Isra, verse 72).
In the past, sufism cum mysticism did the same terrible
damage by deflecting the Muslims' attention from the
despotic corrupt rulers while they started grabbing the
Muslim countries one after another and destroyed Islam's
civilizational mission. Even while the Mongol murderers were
destroying Muslim cities and massacring men, women and
children, they stayed blind. They didn't come out of their
homes and khanqas to take part in any jihad against the
invaders. They caused a huge mass distraction in the name of
purifying heart. What would be worst crime against Islam and
the Muslims? The prophet (peace be upon him) didn't leave
such legacy. They built sufi khanqas and ran circles of zikr
-as if it needs separate institutions to achieve
purification. Whereas zikr is the part of Muslims' life even
while sitting, walking, working or lying in bed -as
mentioned in the holy Qur'an (Sura al-Imran: verse 191).
Zikr is all about remembering the mercy, glory and greatness
of Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'la. Five time daily prayer, studying
the holy Qur'an, fasting, haj, charity -in fact all acts of
ibadah are zikr. And the greatest zikr takes place in jihad.
Under the barrage of bullets, bombs, drones and missiles,
zikr of a frontline mujahid gets oceanic depth. A parasitic
sufi seating idle in his safe haven can't even think of
that.
Sufism and Tabligh Jamaat are in fact two blades of the same
scissors. Tabligh Jamaat was started by the people like
Sheikh Ilyas and Sheikh Zakaria of India. They didn't hide
that they were deeply influenced by sufism. In Sheikh
Zakaria's book "Fazayel-e-Amal", he has been introduced by
the publisher as a great sufi. These people and their
organisations are indeed the part of the same social,
cultural and religious engineering to keep the Muslims away
from Qur'anic mission. This is why the most murderous rulers
are very compatible with them. In response, they, too, do
not blame these killers either. As if, condemning and
protesting against any massacre or crime is not a part of
iman! Whereas, protesting against any genocidal crime by all
means is not mere politics, it is indeed the spontaneous
expression of true iman. Appeasing the enemies is similar to
feeding the crocodiles; it is indeed feeding the enemies'
political ambitions.
In India, even a non-political Muslims TV channel like Peace
TV was closed down by the anti-Muslim BJP government, but
Tabligh Jama'at is allowed to flourish. In Bangladesh, the
secularist fascist government is carrying out every
brutality against Islam's resurgence. But Tabligh Jamaat is
allowed not only to hold an assembly of more than 2 million
people each year; but also given the full government
co-operation. Every year, even the Prime Minister and the
President of Bangladesh -who vehemently oppose any effort
that can cause resurgence of Islam in the country, also join
the supplication (munajat) part of the ijtima. Tablighi
people visit millions of households each year to make people
performer of five time daily prayers. But what is the impact
of such door to door visits and massive annual congregation
on the morality, politics and culture of the Bangladeshi
people? In the history of Bangladesh, no other organisation
could mobilise such a huge number of people to carry out its
task. Such massive efforts are not helping the country to
come out of the bracket of one of the most corrupt counties
in the world. Moreover, the country has now entered into the
darkest segment of its history under the rule of the most
violent anti-Islamic fascists. Tabligh Jama'at itself now
stands as an evidence that innovation doesn't work. It can
only cause huge wastage of time, money and energy. Moreover,
it increases the deviation from prophet's tradition.
The basics are ignored
First thing must be done first, and in Islam the first thing
is iman (faith). No good deed -even not the sacrifice of
life is acceptable to Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'la without im'an.
Iman is the starting point of a Muslim's life. But such
fundamental basic of Islam is being ignored. Five time
prayers were made obligatory 11 years after the
prophet-hood; but im'an was made obligatory on the first day
of Islam. Im'an works as the most powerful engine in a
believer's journey towards paradise. It also sets the true
direction in life. In absence of im'an, other religious
rituals can't save people from hellfire.
After a failed encounter against Prophet Musa (peace be upon
him), the magicians who brought im'an in Allah Sub'hana wa
Ta'la were cut into pieces by the order of Pharaoh. But that
terrible torture couldn't distract them from their faith.
Such a depth of their im'an impressed Allah Sub'hana wa
Ta'la so much that He mentioned the event several times in
the holy Qur'an and raised their status as the model of true
im'an for all people in all ages to come. Although they
didn't get any chance to offer a single unit of prayer, but
their im'an did the job adequately to please Allah Sub'hana
wa Ta'la.
Hence, im'an and its implication must be understood before
understanding any other pillar of Islam. Without perfection
of im'an, one can't perform perfect prayers, haj, fasting or
others rituals. And with imperfect iman, people get easily
deviated from the Qur'anic roadmap and become friends of the
worst enemies of Islam. Truly, this is the case with
millions of so-called Muslims in the Muslim World. So, it is
the strategy of the enemy of Islam to destroy im'an first;
not rituals like 5 times prayer, month-long fasting, haj or
zakat. Even the White House and the Kremlin staffs spread
prayer mat and offer iftari for the deviated Muslims. But
they drop bombs and send drones to kill those who possess
im'an on sharia, hudud, khelafat, jihad, Islamic state and
global unity of the Muslims.
Like any disease, the moral disease has also its starting
point. It starts with the lie in the declaration of ima'an.
More than a billion of Muslims claim that they believe in
Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'la and His prophet (peace be upon him).
But how perfect, how sincere is the belief? Belief in Allah
Sub'hana wa Ta'la and His prophet (peace be upon him) is an
indivisible package. Islam is all about believing and
practising all components of the package. There can't be any
disbelief or compromise in any single element of that. Im'an
is inclusive and comprehensive. It is the source of light in
believers' everyday life; and shows the Qur'anic straight
path (siratul mustaqeem) in every segments of his journey.
It is the firm belief not only in the oneness of Allah
Sub'hana wa Ta'ala, but also in the truthfulness of His
prophet' legacy. It is also the belief in the supremacy of
His Sovereignty, His revealed Book -the holy Qur'an, and the
Qur'anic prescription of sharia, hudud, shura, khilafa,
trans-ethnic Muslim unity, migration and jihad in His way.
Iman also entails the belief in the Qur'anic decree of
enjoining the right and eradicating the wrong (a'maru bil
ma'ruf wa nehi'anil munkar) -as the prescribed mission for
every Muslim.
The belief in the prophet (peace be upon him) is also
inclusive. His legacy includes not only the preaching of
Islam, but also the establishment of an Islamic state. And,
he was also the Head of the State. Hence abiding by his
tradition entails the practice of his state policy in
education, politics, warfare, administration, laws, people's
welfare, judiciary, and other practices. His legacy also
includes jihad fi sabilillah to defend and expand the
territory of the Islamic State. A Muslim also needs to
believe in the Qur'anic revelation that obeying the prophet
(peace be upon him) is obeying Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'la -as
revealed in the holy Qur'an "Whoever obeys the prophet, he
indeed obeys Allah" -(Sura Nisa, verse 80). Hence, a Muslim
must stick to prophet's legacy; it is an obligation. But if
his politics, culture, law, judiciary, economics, state
institutions, administration and warfare follow his own
obsession or footsteps of the enemy, how can he claim to be
a Muslim?
Showcasing of the disease and the disbelief!
The best way of marketing a product is to showcase it in a
market place; otherwise even the best product can't catch
the public eye. The same is true with Islam. Hence Islam
can't be practised in caves; and nor in a place where
showcasing of its beauty is restricted. So, migration from
such a state is a great ibadah in Islam. The greatest
preacher in the human history like Prophet Muhammad (peace
be upon him) couldn't convert more than 200 hundred people
in his 13 years' of hard work in Makkah. But when he could
showcase the blessing of Islamic state, education, sharia,
hudud, social welfare, culture, judiciary and trans-ethnic
brotherhood in Medina, a huge mass conversion started.
Within a decade Islam appeared as the number one World
Power. Other great prophets like Prophet Isa (peace be upon
him) and Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) couldn't attain
that success because they were not allowed by the evil
forces to showcase the Truth. Shaitan and his followers
understand the strength of such strategy; so it is their key
objective not to allow the Muslims to showcase the beauty of
Islam in the form of a full-fledged Islamic state. Rather,
they allow only to showcase the disease and disbeliefs of
the fake Muslims. Therefore, like protecting the rare animal
species, the US-led enemies of Islam are protecting the most
despotic corrupt Muslim rulers as the model of Islam in the
world. So their disbelief and disease get showcased on the
global stage as Islam. The call this ugly perversion as the
moderate or mainstream Islam.
Both belief and disbelief in Islam have their own
distinctive expressions. Iman (belief) of a true believer
expresses through his good deeds -as fire expresses through
its heat. So, in the holy Qur'an, iman and amal-us-saleh
(good deeds) are mostly mentioned together -as if they are
the twin expressions of a believer. Thus, a Muslim turns
into a showcase of true Islam. Only this way the early
Muslims could work as powerful magnets to attract millions
of people to Islam; otherwise they didn't have any
propaganda machinery. But now, they are doing the opposite.
They have turned into ugly showcase of moral disease and
disbelief. True iman, sharia, hudud, khilafa, shura,
pan-Islamic Muslim brotherhood, jihad have no place in that
showcase. Rather, divisive walls, racial hatred,
extrajudicial killings, parochialism, nationalism,
secularism, despotism, and corruptions are the parts of it.
This way they are serving the cause of Shaitan.
In absence of showcasing of true Islam, millions of visits
by Tablighi workers at the doorsteps of the people have
utterly failed to make any discernible impact. They tell
about im'an, yakeen and ibadah; but these too, have failed
to bring any visible change in the behaviour, actions,
attitude, politics, and culture of the Muslims. And if iman
and yakeen do not have such visible expression, do they
really exist? They fail to understand that changing people's
beliefs, behaviour, actions, attitude, politics, and culture
is a massive task. Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him) spend
more than 750 years, but with little gain. Spending few
minutes in a group in reciting Fadayel-e-Amal (the commonly
recited book of Tabligh Jama'at) or short lectures by laymen
or long munajat by bujurgs (old sheikhs) is not going to
make any big difference. That didn't work in the past
either. The same is true about thousands of non-political
Islamic organisations working in Muslim World. It needs to
engage in massive social, cultural, educational, political
engineering. For that, a powerful Islamic state with its
various massive organisational infrastructures are
indispensable. And that is the greatest and the most
important legacy of the prophet (peace be upon him). How can
a true Muslim deny or ignore that? 08/04/2017
