This is concerning the efforts of a Muslim Group to help the
people of Domincia.This is the group name and contact in
Trinidad: its called Ash- Nad foundation iva Ashmed Ali

Telephone number is 868221-7661 or 868 680-0130 .
They will be shipping a container to Domincia on October the
4th and the 5th. The address is 590 Cipero Road VIA Cross
Crossing San Fernando Trinidad and Tobago W.I Port of
Spain.
Ths sister that I work with in Trinidad in terms of helping
the Muslims and the needy in Trinidad is also working with
the group so she gave me the information. We also gave them
clothes to put in the container for the people who are in
need and as Muslims we are suppose to give our assistance to
the poor and needy. For us as Muslims in the Caribbean
Region we have a responsibility to help the people in the
region where it would get to the people faster than by
western agencies.

Reaching out to Upper Class Muslims in Silver Spring,
Maryland.
Syria. Gaza, Refugees.
On September 29, a five-page Jamaat al-Muslimeen document
was given to 71 Muslims after Juma' salat at the Muslim
Community Center [MCC] in Silver Spring, Maryland. This is
an upscale Muslim community, mostly Pakistanis, Indians and
Africans, located about 13 miles north of Washington, DC..
The mosque has a grand and beautiful dome comparable to the
best in Muslim countries. The Center has numerous services
to help the community, including medical outreach, wedding
facilities and large parties.
We met a very interesting older gentleman who had been a
pilot in the Pakistan air force, then in the British and
then in the Libyan air force. He was complaining that people
at this mosque are US citizens but they don't dare say
anything about sany serious issue facing the Muslims.
The outline of the content of the document given to 71
people is as follows:

Special Offer. Stunning Research on Claims of "Holocaust"
and Gas Chambers.
First ten Muslim responses will get a free copy of this
unequalled critique of the "Gas Chambers" narrative:
THE RUDOLF REPORT: Expert Report on Chemical and Technical
Aspects of the 'Gas Chambers' of Auschwitz
by Germar Rudolf
455 pages.
The writer is a top level German scientist whose work has
stunned those who believe the holocaust narrative.
The book meticulously shows that the gas chambers were
technically impossible.
Rudolf is not a Nazi, was born decades after the war and
does not try to justify Hitler's regime. I have interviewed
him and found him an authentic, non-propagandistic human
being who sympathizes with Palestine.
The book is important not only for its technical aspects but
also for the process by which the writer drifted naturally
into refutation of the established cliches of the 'gas
chambers.'

Maulana Maudoodi's Complaint
[by Kaukab Siddique]
During the final part of his life, Maulana Maudoodi visited
America. He addressed a large gathering of Muslims in
Toronto. I was his translator, standing next to him. I
translated his speech, sentence by sentence, as he
spoke.
Later when he was unwell and seeking medical assistance from
his son who was a doctor in Buffalo, New Yourk, I spoke to
him. One of the final things he said was a complaint. He
said:
"They have made me a LIVING TOMB." [Zinda Mazar.]
He wanted his students to build on the basis of Islam which
he had clarified. Instead his followers made him into a
saint whom they follow uncritically as a symbol without even
reading his books.
Africa.
Richest Continent but also the Poorest.

Africa has all these and much more. Why are the people so
poor?
France still retains its colonial power in West Africa
through Frenchified rulers and even direct intervention by
the French military.
The US military is helping to crush the uprising of the poor
with Islam as its basis in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and
Chad.
Sudan was broken into two after years of civil war in the
South. Intense tribal fighting has laid waste to large parts
of Sudan which claim to be Christian,
About 80% of the people of Afrca are Muslim which means that
the masses are Muslims; however the Muslims with a clear
Islamic motivation ate not represented in the top echelons
of the African countries.
Americans have strange attitudes towards Africa. They go to
visit Egypt but explore the thousands of years old tombs of
the Pharoahs but ignore the Islam which is the spirit of the
people. General Sissi gets American money while the Muslim
masses are in dire straits.
A fake democracy has been installed in Tunisia and thousands
of young people fled to join ISIS.
Study Africa. Much of it is hidden. Why do Black Americans
ignore that Africa which is mostly Muslim?

Body Found after 11 days, 300 miles away. Missing Virginia
college student found dead in North Carolina
[Courtesy The Washington Post.]
By Clarence Williams and Joe Heim
September 30 at 3:47 PM
The body of a woman found in Charlotte on Friday has been
identified as that of a missing 19-year-old college student
who disappeared Sept. 18 in the Virginia Beach area.
Authorities said the Mecklenburg County medical examiner's
office identified the body discovered behind a church Friday
morning as that of Ashanti Billie, a student at a culinary
school in Virginia Beach, who was last seen Sept. 18 about 5
a.m. as she entered a military base, where she worked at a
sandwich shop.
Investigators did not release a cause or manner of death and
gave no indications of how Billie's body ended up more than
300 miles from where she was last seen.
At a news conference Saturday evening, Billie's parents
thanked those who sent prayers and messages of support from
across the country and helped search for their daughter and
locate her body. Then her mother, Brandy Johnson Billie,
delivered pointed words for whoever was responsible for her
Ashanti's death.
"The person or persons that decided they wanted to take my
baby away from us . . . you are a coward. You
don't deserve to breathe the air that she breathed," Johnson
Billie said.

was last seen Sept. 18 in Norfolk, Va. Her body was found
Friday in Charlotte. (Family photo)
Meltony Billie, the teenager's father, urged the public to
help other missing people find their way home.
"We say to everyone, stay encouraged," he said. "This was
not one of the outcomes we were seeking, but yet still we
stay in the fight because there are other young people who
are out there missing. Our desire and our prayers were
answered. She's home. She's home with God."
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police responded about 10:30 a.m.
Friday after a caller stated they found what appeared to be
a deceased body in the back of a church, police officials
said.
The FBI had been investigating Billie's disappearance, and
police officials said that FBI agents and other agencies are
helping with the homicide investigation.
"I, along with the entire investigative team, offer our most
sincere condolences to the Billie family, especially
Ashanti's parents Brandy and Tony. Our thoughts and prayers
are with you," said Martin Culbreth, special agent in charge
of the Norfolk Division of the FBI. "Our community should
know that our work does not end here. Now our mission is to
bring justice for Ashanti, and we will be relentless in our
efforts to find who did this to her."
Billie, who graduated from Henry A. Wise Jr. High School in
Prince George's County, moved to Virginia to attend the Art
Institute of Virginia Beach, where she studied culinary
arts. She had recently started working at a Blimpie sub
restaurant at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort
Story.
In interviews before her body was discovered, Billie's
parents said she loved cooking and dreamed of opening a
bakery or becoming an executive chef. Meltony Billie said
his daughter made him crepes for Father's Day and described
her as "a comical young lady" who also loved dogs,
especially their 10-year-old Shih Tzu named Rahab.
Billie's parents are Army veterans, and her father told The
Post that he encouraged her to take a job on the military
base.
"I thought it was more of a secure environment, so I was
excited for her to work on base," he said.
Investigators said Billie entered the base about 5 a.m. on
Sept. 18 but never arrived at work. A short while later,
video shows her Mini Cooper leaving the base, but it was not
clear whether Billie was in it, officials said
previously.
Authorities recovered her cellphone in a dumpster in the
Norfolk area, and on Sept. 23 they recovered her car in
Norfolk as well.
The FBI and Blimpie have combined to offer a $20,000 reward
for information that helps solve this case. Anyone with
information is encouraged to call Virginia Beach Police at
757-385-5000.
VIEWPOINT
Why is Shiaism the main force against the Global Unity of
Islam?
Facts of history indicate serious fabrications in the
Foundations of Shiism.
by Kaukab Siddique
The 10th of Mohurram is the anniversary of the martyrdom of
Hussain, r.a., the grandson of the Prophet, pbuh.
It was a great tragedy in that Hussain, r.a., with his
family and about a hundred followers was surrounded by a
large force sent by the war lord of Kufa known as Ibn Ziyad.
When Hussain, r.a., refused to surrender, he and his
followers were cut down by brute force and killed. He died
fighting, sword in had, till the end. All the male members
of his family, said to number 72, were also killed, with the
exception of of a male child.
This horrific tragedy should have united the entire Muslim
against tyranny and kingship. Instead it has divided the
Muslims and has lead to escalating violence between the
Muslims. The Shias, who give precedence to Ali, r.a., the
father of Hussain, r.a., over all the companions of the
Prophet, pbuh, have made mourning for Hussain, r.a., an
annual ritual especially in the first ten days of Mohurram
The Shias take out processions and carry out
self-flagellation and chanting against the murderers of
Hussain, r.a.
In the process of annual mourning, the Shias have come to
accuse the entire Muslim community as accessary to the
murder of Hussain, r.a., The stories they tell about the
tragic death of Hussain at Kerbala, now in Iraq, are totally
out of context and can only be accepted if one refuses to
accept historical facts adumbrated by all the early scholars
and researchers of Islam.
So let us look at the facts.
Many of the Shia claim that Hussain, r.a., was killed by
Yazeed, the Caliph at that time, because he was a tyrant and
Hussain, r.a., refused to accept him as Caliph. Cursing
Yazeed is the center piece of Shia ritual.
However, there is absolutely no evidence that Yazeed killed
Hussain. In fact he was hundreds of miles away from Karbala
when the tragic events happened.
There are some "milder" shias who admit that Yazeed did not
kill Hussain, r.a., but they contend that Yazeed ordered
Hussain to be killed. Again there is no evidence that Yazeed
ORDERED Hussain, r.a., to be killed. There is no person from
that time who makes such a claim, nor is there any document
which shows such an order.
The surviving male child of the Karbala tragedy, known as
Zayn al-Abedin, was saved, protected and provided all
facilities by Yazeed till he grew up and became the imam of
the Shias.
The question arises: Why do Shias accuse Yazeed when there
is no such evidence in Shia or Sunni sources.
The motive of the Shias becomes evident when we realize that
Yazeed was the son of Muawiyya, r.a., one of the Companions
of the Prophet, pbuh. So the Shias who accuse Yazeed then go
on to accuse his father Muawiyya who was instrumental in
getting Yazeed elected as Caliph.
Muawiyya, r.a., during his extensive caliphate was very
affectionate towards both the sons of Ali, r.a., Hasan,
r.a., and Hussain, r.a., both of whom accepted the Caliphate
of Muawiyya and from whom they received large gifts and
stpends every year.
So, why attack Muawiyya who was dead when the tragedy of
Karbala took place and who during his Caliphate treated both
Hasan and Hussain with generosity and affection?
Again the motive seems to be attack Umar, r.a., the second
Caliph of Islam, who appointed Muawiyya as the governor of
Syria. Umar, r.a., was very close to the Prophet, pbuh, and
is known as the greatest ruler the Muslim world has ever
known for his sense of justice and honesty. The Prophet,
pbuh, praised him more than he praised any of his other
Companions and even said that: "If there were to be a
prophet after me, it would be Umar."
But for the Shias, the main problem is that Muawiyya was
appointed governor of Syria by Umar, r.a., and he gained
popular support in Syria.
The attacks on Umar, r.a., reach the level of obscenity and
pornography.
To go further into digging the roots of Islam, the Shias
then attack Abu Bakr, r.a., the first Caliph and the
greatest friend [Khalil, the Prophet called him] of the
Prophet, pbuh. Abu Bakr, r.a., was supported by Umar, r.a.,
to be the first Caliph, a position which Shias claim
belonged to Ali, r.a.
Some of the most virulent Shia attacks are aimed at Ayesha,
r.a., the Mother of the Believers, the beloved wife of the
Prophet, pbuh. Here the motivation is much simpler. Ayesha,
r.a., did not accept the Caliphate of Ali, r.a.
Shia Version of "Islam."
Shias have had a hard time constructing their own version of
Islam. In the process they have alienated the entire Muslim
world.
Here are some of the Shia fabrications which are not in the
Qur'an or the authentic teachings of the Prophet, pbuh, or
the comments the Companions of the Prophet, pbuh.
Shias claim that the Prophet, pbuh, had only ONE daughter
and that was Fatima, r.a., who was married to Ali, r.a. The
Qur'an, however, refers to the Prophet's, pbuh, DAUGHTERS
[plural]. The hadith specifically mentions the names of the
other daughters and that they were the daughters of the
Prophet, pbuh, and Khadija, r.a., the mother of Fatima,
r.a.
A serious problem for Shias is that the Prophet, pbuh,
brought about the marriage of TWO of his daughters, one
after the other, to Usman, r,.a., who was from the Ummayad
tribe. They hate him because Yazeed was also an Ummayad. The
Prophet's pbuh, only other daughter was also married to an
Ummayad who turned out to be a great fighter for Islam. This
tribal hatred is essential to Shiaism and diametrically
opposed to Islamic teachings.
They ignore the martyrdom of Usman, r.a., who in the
hierarchy of original Islam was a much greater Muslim
supporter of the Prophet, pbuh, than Hussain, r.a., who was
only a little child during the lifetime of the Prophet,
pbuh. Usman, r.a., was killed in a most brutal fashion. He
sat in peace reading the Qur'an he had compiled. He did not
want any blood to be shed on his behalf.
The gang which led the murderous attack on Usman, r,a.,
included the adopted son of Ali, r.a., and secondly the
commander of Ali's r.a.., forces. Ali, r.a., had sent his
sons to defend Usman, r.a., but exactly at the time when
Usman, r.a., was attacked and murdered, Ali, r.a., and his
sons were nowhere
to be found. He was much under suspicion but vehemently
denied a role in the murder.
Shias claim that their 12 imams were appointed by Allah,
just like the prophets, which is an exact denial of the
Qur'an which says that Muhammad, pbuh, is the seal of the
prophets, and the hadith which says there won't be any
prophets or messengers after Muhammad, pbuh.
Shias are vehement that their 12th "imam" who disappeared
when he was a child, about 1000 years back, will re-appear
at the end of time and fill the world with justice. Neither
the Qur'an nor the entire corpus of hadith give the
slightest hint of a hidden imam. [Sunni traditions do refer
to a leader, guided one, Mahdi, but these are supported by
the Qur'an and scholars have pointed out that these
narrations are fabricated or so weak in their chain of
narration as to be useless. See ibn Khaldun's
Muqadimmah].
Much effort has been put into enhancing the personality
of Ali, r.a., as one greater than ALL the sahaba [Companions
of the Prophet, pbuh.] . Unfortunately for the Shias, the
Qur'an does not mdention Ali, r.a., and NO hadith says that
he was greater than all the sahaba.
Ali, r.a., was a pious Muslim and did not claim to be
greater than the first three Caliphs. Nor did his wife and
sons claim to be greater than the wives and sons of other
sahaba.
Muslims have only two Eid celebrations in a year, based
on authentic hadith and supported by all the sahaba and the
generations after them. Shias have concocted a third "Eid"
which they call Eid of Ghadeer Khum in which they claim that
the Prophet, pbuh, appointed Ali, r.a. to be the caliph .
Again, there is no such appointment mentioned in hadith
although at a place called Ghadeer Khum, the Prophet, pbuh,
made between Ali, r.a., and othder Muslims who had brought
serious charges against Ali, r.a.
Shias try to hide the fact that Ali, r.a., was not very
Islamic in his behavior towards women, including his wife,
Fatima., the Prophet's daughter who complained about Ali,
r.a., to the Prophet, pbuh, and the Prophet, pbuh,
REPRIMANDED Ali, r.a., in public, from the mimbar of the
mosque and repeated the reprimand THREE times. [Sahih
Bukhari]. The same attitude appears when the Prophet's, wife
was being slandered by the enemies of Islam and Ali, r.a.,
advised the Prophet, pbuh, that there is no lack of women.
{This at a time when the Prophet, pbuh, was hurting very
badly owing to the dirty propaganda of the enemies.]
Hussain, r.a., was a very brave man. He fought to the
last and was a true martyr at Karbala. Strangely enough the
Shias do not mention ABDULLAH, r.a., ibn Zubair., r.a, who
actually DEFEATED Yazeed and set up the Caliphate. The next
Ummayad king's army killed Abdullah, r.a. He too fought gto
the end like Hussain, against great odds.
Is it because Abdullah, r.a., was the adopted son of Ayesha,
r.a.?
All this information is easily available in early Islamic
history. If any reader doubts it, let me know and I can
provide the text, inshaAllah

GUIDANCE
Bilal [r.a.] is one of the galaxy of Sahabah [Companions of
the Prophet, pbuh,] known as the Muezzin [caller to prayer]
at the mosque of the Prophet, pbuh.
by Sis. Yasmin
He was an Abyssinian slave of a disbeliever in Makka.
His conversion to Islam, was, naturally, not liked by his
master and he was, therefore, persecuted mercilessly
Ummayah bin Khalaf, who was the worst enemy of Islam, would
make him lie down on the burning sand at midday and would
place a heavy rock on his breast, so that he could not even
move a limb!
He would then say to him.. "Renounce Islam or swelter and
die."
Even under these afflictionds , Bilal [r.a..] would
exclaim:
'Ahad' .... The One ..... Allah!
'Ahad ......The One .....Allah!
He was whipped at night and with the cuts thus received made
during the day to lie on the burning sand
to make him forsake Islam or to die a lingering death from
his wounds.
The torturers would get tired and take turns whipping him
[Abu Jahal, and Umayyah bin Khalaf etc] and vied with one
another in inflicting more and more painful punishments
but Bilal [r.a.,] would not yield!
At last Abu Bakr [r.a.] bought Bilal's , r.a, and he became
a free Muslim!
As Islam taught implicitly the Oneness of the Almighty
Creator, while the idolaters of Makka believed in many gods
and goddesses with minor godlings, therefore Bilal, r.a.,
repeated:
"Ahad [The One], Ahad [The One]."
This shows his love and devotion to Allah.
Allah was so dear to him that no amount of
persecution could distract him from reciting His Holy name.
It is said that the urchins of Makka would drag him in the
streets,
with his words "Ahad Ahad" ringing in their wake.
Look how Allah rewarded his steadfastness ....!
He was to have the honor of becoming the Prophet's, pbuh,
Muezzin.
he was always to remain with him at home and abroad to call
out the Adhan for his Salat.
After the Prophet's, pbuh, death, it became very hard for
him to continue his stay in Madinah he would miss him [pbuh]
at every step and he therefore left Madinah and decided to
pass the rest of his life striving in the way of Allah.
Once he beheld the prophet, pbuh, in his dream saying to
him:
'O Bilal! How is it that you never visit me.
No sooner did he get up then he set out for Madinah.
On reaching there, Hasan and Hussain, r.a., [the prophet's
grandsons] requested him to call out the Adhan, He could not
refuse them for they were very dear to him.
But as soon as the Adhan was called, the people of Madinah
cried out of their anguish at the memory of the happy old
days of the Prophet, pbuh. Even the women came out of their
houses, weeping.....
Bilal, r.a., left Madinah after a few days and died in
Damascus in 20 A.H.

Invitation to Think from Sis. Raabia Ahmad
Would the Prophet Muhammad [SAW] have been able to impact
the world if he could not feel or understand the plight of
mankind?
It is the sensitive who stand for the oppressed, the broken,
the voiceless.

Why are you so sensitive? I have heard this question all
throughout my life, from doctors, to mates, to family
members to friends. As If I could separate myself from a
quality trait that shapes both my being and my inner world.
I have finally learned to respond, "Because it's the way God
made me", something I once saw as a burden, that has
transformed me and given me the gift of awareness.
Being highly sensitive means, that I pick up on it all, the
good and the bad. It's experiencing the ups and downs of
life in a magnified way. Its the ability to analyze complex
matters. It's the compass I use to navigate people and
situations.
It's using my pain to help others by being transparent. It's
picking up on the vibes of others. It's being open enough to
share my feelings with others despite how I may be judged or
looked at as weak. It's the intuition that calls me. The
more intune, I become, with my feelings, the more sensitive
I am with myself and others, fine tuning skills such as
compassion, understanding and empathy, traits that have been
almost eradicated from society.
Often my sensitivities have made me isolate myself, because
of all of the over whelming feelings of being open to
eveyone's emotions, actions, energies etc and wanting to
find solutions or help others more than myself. It has put
me in situations where I have been taken advantage of and
hurt deeply. Despite it all, I will not let anyone label my
sensitivities as a flaw, on the contrary my high sensitivity
is a super power. It is the sensitive people of the world
who bear their souls, their feelings, their perspectives,
and their blunt honesty to help the world transform from
darkness to light.
Would Malcolm have made the impact on the world that he did
if he was insensitive or cut off from the feelings of his
brothers and sisters? Would the Prophet Muhammad SAW have
been able to impact the world if he could not feel or
understand the plight of mankind? It is the sensitive who
stand for the oppressed, the broken, the voiceless. God has
given us all character traits to do the work he has destined
for us and if we used them for good, we could make a major
impact on the world. So If you ask me today, why I am
sensitive, maybe you should also ask the question; why
aren't we all sensitive enough?

PAKISTAN
Pakistan has become a stable forAmerica's "horses."
Plundered Wealth has to be brought back.
by Ameer al-Azeem & Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, Sep. 30; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has said that the days of a few families' rule
in the country were over and the era of the slaves of
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was nearing. He was addressing a
large public meeting at Dargai on Saturday.
Sirajul Haq said that the rulers had made Pakistan stable of
US horses and when a horse earned a bad name, another was
brought forward. He said that during the last seventy years,
the rulers had plundered billions through unlawful means and
transferred the same to their personal bank accounts abroad.
He said that if the JI got an opportunity, it would bring
back the ill gotten wealth of the corrupt people and send
the plunderers to jail. He said the next elections would be
a contest between the slaves of the US and the slaves of
Mustafa.
The JI chief said that the governments had done nothing for
the masses during the last seventy years whereas an
amendment was made in the law overnight to bulldoze a court
decision.
Sirajul Haq said if the JI came to power, it would pay
salaries of the mosque Imams out of public exchequer.
Interest would be abolished and the jagirs doled out by the
British rulers to feudal lords would be confiscated. He said
that education would be free and treatment for five major
diseases would be available at government hospitals free of
cost.
On the occasion, a large number of people announced their
joining the JI after dissociation from other parties.
