Hadith of the Week
The Prophet, peace be upon him, loved Usman, r.a., above
others.
{When Umm Kulthum, r.a., wife of Usman, r.a, daughter of the
Prophet, pbuh, died, it had a grave impact on Usman, r.a.
"Seeing the sorrow etched on his face, Allah's messenger,
pbuh, drew close to him and said:
: "If we had a third daughter, we would give her to you O
Usman."
[recorded by al-Haythemi with a sound chain of
narrators.]
Comment by Kaukab Siddique:
Owing to ongoing Shia rafidi and Aghan Khani attack on
Usman, r,a., it is important to authenticate the character
of Usman in the Islamic narrative. He was a carring,
compassionate and loving husband of such high quality that
the Prophet, pbuh, gave him the highest praise even at the
time of extreme sorrow.

"Israel"
The Balfour Declaration: The Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict
Review by C. Rubenberg -- Middle East Policy Council
http://mepc.org/journal/middle-east-policy-archives/balfour-eclaration
In his extraordinary book The Balfour Declaration, Jonathan
Schneer provides an in-depth look at the process by which
the document that birthed the State of Israel came about and
situates it in the whole of British Middle East policy
during World War I ... The Arabs never knew about Britain's
conspiracy with France or about the Balfour ... So
overwhelming is the sense after reading this book of British
duplicity, deceit, double-dealing, obfuscation, ambiguity
and back-stabbing in its relations with all the parties
involved that one feels it necessary to highlight it ...
Britain herself wanted Palestine. London believed that, by
controlling Palestine, it could better secure the Suez Canal
and maintain the puppet monarchy it had installed in
Cairo.

Does Allah forgive Hypocrites?
Made in America "Islam" or "Moderate Islam." How ICNA's
Siraj Wahhaj plays this game.
On November 3, Siraj Wahhaj gave the Juma khutba at masjid
Ibrahim in Delaware. ICNA and ISNA have publicized him so
much that at least an Islamically acceptable khutba was
expected.
Unfortunately the khutba was not about Allah and His
messenger but about Siraj Wahhaj.
He talked about his fame with the claim that he is
spreading Islam around the world.
He claimed that he even gives prayers for people to have
children, sort of like a saint in Pakistan.
He talked about his children.
He focused on one of his sons who had not been doing well
but now, suddenly, he is doing well.
He talked about his personality and about his impressive
beard which draws people to him.
He went to the extent of talkng about himself in the
third person like: Siraj Wahhaj why are you doing this
.......
He made only one reference to the Qur'an and in this he
stumbled so badly that it creates the impression that he has
not studied the Qur'an or that he is twisting the Qur'an to
support Made In America "Islam," also known as "moderate
Islam."
He wanted to prove that Islam is very gentle with
hypocrites and does not punish them. For this purpose, Siraj
brought up the hadith according to which Allah said that
Muslims should forgive hypocrites 70 times. The Prophet,
pbuh, was asked to pray for the soul of the biggest
hypocrite of Madinah, Ibn Ubayy, and even decided to say his
funeral prayers. When he, pbuh, was commanded that even if
he asks forgiveness for hypocrites 70 times, Allah would not
forgive them.
The Prophet, pbuh, said that he would ask for the
hypocrite's forgiveness MORE than 70 times, and went ahead
and prayed for Ibn Ubayy.
The hadith is correct. The Prophet, pbuh, was always
loving and kind and wanted to forgive. However, Siraj Wahhaj
owing to his ignorance of the Qur'an, does not know that
this is one of the powerful points in the Qur'an where Allah
FORCEFULLY CORRECTED the Prophet, pbuh, and NEVER after that
prayed for a munafiq.
This is the verse about 70 times forgiveness:
"Whether you ask forgiveness for them [o Muhammad] or ask
not forgiveness for the. ....and even if you ask seventy
times for their forgiveness. ... Allah will not forgive them
for they have disbelieved in Allah and His messenger, and
Allah guides not those who are disobedient consistently."
[The Qur'an 9:80]
Hadith tells us that the Prophet, pbuh, said, if necessry he
would ask forgiveness more than 70 times.
Siraj does not know that Allah corrected the Prophet,
pbuh, only 4 verses down from 9:80:
"And never [O Muhammad] pray for any of the hypocrites who
dies, nor stand at his grave." [9:84]
Siraj Wahhaj is not only ignorant of the Qur'an but also
of the hadith which he tried to use. After mentioing this
entire incident, the hadith concludes with these words:
"After that the messenger of Allah, pbuh, did not offer the
funeral prayer for any hypocrite nor did he stand at his
grave, until Allah took his soul." [Sahih Muslim hadith
#2400]
This is one of the great instances in which Umar, r.a.,
differed with the Prophet, pbuh, and the Qur'an supported
Umar, r.a.
Hence the famous saying of the Prophet, pbuh: If there were
to be a prophet after me, it would be Umar.' [Sunan of
Titmidhi]
A point of fiqh here is that we should pray for those who
are alive. A living hypocrite or wrong doer can change, not
a dead one.
[Other verses in the Qur'an urge Muslims to fight the
munafiqun. For instance see 9:71]
{Remember that the mass murderer Assad of Syria and General
Sissi of Egypt also claim to be Muslims.]
[It should also be remembered that Siraj Wahhaj helped a
Zionist Jewish judge, Michael Mukasey, to sentence the
superb Islamic scholar Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman to life in
prison. The diabetic, blind, scholar died in prison in
miserable condions. Neither Siraj nor ICNA or ISNA had a
word of compassion in all those years. May Allah burn this
hypocrite Siraj Wahhaj in hell]

Why is ex-PM Nawaz Sharif not Arrested?
For 70 years, regime did not contact Qaid's only Daughter.
Now she is dead in New York.
by Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, Nov. 4; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has said that NAB Chairman had been appointed
with the consentthe ruling party and the PPP therefore why
should they object to NAB's working. He was addressing a big
public meeting at Narowal on Saturday.
Sirajul Haq urged the judiciary to ensure an effective
accountability so that the nation could get rid of the
plunderers. He said those ruing the country considered
themselves above the law and accountability. To them, power
was a gold mine and they were free to make as much money as
they liked. However, he said it was the responsibility of
the courts to set up JITs for probe against the other people
named in the Panama leaks and bring them to the dock.
The JI chief said it was unfortunate that while the ruling
elite had been enjoying milk and butter, the man in the
street was facing the problems of poverty, unemployment and
lawlessness. The rulers had built palaces inside the country
and abroad through their ill gotten wealth whereas the
masses could hardly pay utilities bills and their children
were even deprived of primary education. Due to the scarcity
of health facilities, the poor were dying at the hospital
doors.
Sirajul Haq said that according to reports of national and
international organizations, around five lakh people were
suffering from hepatitis while more than 80,000 were
suffering from cancer. Around 35 per cent of the Pakistanis
were suffering from blood pressure while 88 per cent of the
people could not get clean drinking water. Besides, there
were only 1167 government hospitals for the 220 million
Pakistanis and the patients did not get even aspirin tablet
there.
He said it was interesting that the rulers spent years in
Britain and the US but were not ready to follow the good
policies of these countries. He said it was an irony that a
person disqualified by the court came to face trial in a
process.
Sirajul Haq said the JI wanted to open the corridors of
power to the common man so that they could represent the
masses in the real sense. He said if the masses voted the JI
to power, the kisans and factory workers would be made
shareholders in the produce of the farms and factories and
every form of exploitation would be stopped.
Sirajul Haq said that dozens of JI leaders had been in the
assemblies and in the government but there was no corruption
spot on them.
LAHORE, Nov. 4; Secretary General, Jamat e Islami, Liaqat
Baloch, has called for ensuring proper security to the
investment of the overseas Pakistanis in the country. He was
talking to a delegation of the overseas Pakistanis from UAE
and Qatar.
Liaqat Baloch said the overseas Pakistanis were a great and
respectable asset for the country and their concern over the
prevailing political situation in the country was
appreciable. He stressed the overseas Pakistanis should be
taken on board on the national issues and they should also
be give the voting right.
The JI central leader expressed deep grief over the sad
demise of the Quaid e Azam's only child Dina Wadia and said
the whole nation shared the grief. He deplored that during
that last seventy years, the government had made no
practical effort to contact the Quaid's family.

Syria
Russia Destroys Deir Ez Zor Defenses.
35,000 Civilians flee Hama as Shias advance.
Attacks on Bokamal Repulsed twice
Fighting erupts near Israeli occupied areas.
Analysis
Islamic State has no way of defending itself against air
attacks by Russia coming from the west and American Special
Forces and large Kurdish Communist forces coming from the
east and north east. On the ground IS does well but any city
it holds crumbles under a storm of bombing by the two
superpowers.
ISIS will have to find a different way of fighting. The
firepower against it is overwhelming. Conventional warfare
has failed because the opponents of the Caliphate do not
respect any norms of warfare. Even the wives and children of
Islamic fighters were targeted by both air forces in
Mayadeine.
IS should not have alienated al-Nusra. The Assad regime now
has enough resources to move against Tahrir al-Sham
[al-Nusra, al Qaida] as well.
Turkey did a stab in the back by blocking Muslim
reinforcements which used to come from around the world for
the Caliphate.
IS is too strict. Even smoking is not allowed. Execution of
a few homos and rapists has traumatized western opinion.
On the positive side, Caliphate was established, though it
is being drowned in blood. It simply means Caliphate forces
will probably re-emerge wiser.
Latest News

Zor. There was a steady stream of cruise missiles from

offensive which opened up a corridor from Quneitra to
southern Damascus. However the corridor could not be
maintained owing to regime artillery fire.
During the fighting near the Israeli occupation, the people
of the occupied Golan thought that the mujahideen had broken
the border and people rushed to meet relatives on the Syrian
side. The Israelis soon put a stop to that.
November 2-5. Tahrir [al-Nusra, al-Qaida] launched
offensives north of Hama and south of Aleppo. With the help
of other groups it beat back the regime forces but is now

regime using heavy weapons to force the population to

News Within the U.S. & Canada
Officers Should be required to Identify Themselves
and to Explain the Incident.

You have the Right to Know
Because the NYPD is the largest police force in the country,
New York's policies and laws can have a profound affect on
how other cities approach policing. That's why police reform
in New York is a national issue. CCR is part of the
coalition behind a major push for the Right to Know Act to
improve the NYPD's transparency and accountability. CCR's
Darius Charney, lead counsel in our landmark stop-and-frisk
case, Floyd v. City of New York, spoke at a press conference
in front of City Hall on Wednesday.
The bills comprising the Right to Know Act have majority
support in the New York City Council: the first, Int. 182B,
would help end abuses in a range of police encounters by
requiring officers to identify themselves and explain the
reason for the interaction; the second, Int. 541A, would
require officers to obtain objective proof that a person
gave informed and voluntary consent to a search.
The Right to Know Act was introduced over three years ago,
and there are now only two months left in the Council's
legislative session.
We need people to demand that New York City Council Members
Ritchie Torres and Antonio Reynoso end the long delays and
either pass the Right to Know Act or discharge it by the
November 16 City Council meeting - the last opportunity
where council members can pass the bills with enough time to
override a potential mayoral veto.
New Yorkers, take action: Call Council Member Torres at
212-788-6966 and Reynoso at 212-788-7095, and ask them to
"Pass or discharge the 'Right to Know Act' by November
16."

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ADAMS CENTER
Assalaamu Alaikum WRWB:
I begin with a prayer that this Open Letter (on a very
critical issue) will be received in the same spirit in which
it is being conveyed. Our beloved Prophet (s.a.w.) has
instructed: "When you see an evil action you must change it
with your hand; if you cannot do so, with your tongue; if
you cannot do so, detest it within your heart, [and know]
that is the weakest degree of faith."
The jihad of speech, in the form of this Open Letter, is the
strongest option available to your brother-in-Islam in
response to something that I consider both sinister and
dangerous. I begin with a rhetorical question to my brothers
and sisters in leadership at ADAMS: Why are you ruining your
image and reputation with this regrettable FBI initiative?
Why are you making your community and the Muslim
community-at-large more susceptible to the intrigues of
forces outside of our community that don't mean us well?
Your embrace, and in-house promotion, of the FBI's "Junior
Special Agents"program conveys the message to that agency -
and to other "national security" agencies that operate on an
oppressive paradigm - that you can do whatever you want to
the members of our community and we will forgive.
Furthermore, to demonstrate the depth of our (misplaced)
patriotism, we will not only forgive you, we will assist you
in your surveillance campaigns and even sacrifice our
precious young (sons and daughters) to more red, white and
blue indoctrination.
Those of you in favor of this program should have been at
the National Coalition To Protect Civil Freedoms conference
this past weekend, to witness (up close and personal)
testimonials on some of the innocent lives ripped apart by
the so-called "War on Terrorism" - more correctly termed the
'War on Islam' and Muslims - orchestrated on the domestic
front in large part by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Those who attended the Council on American-Islamic Relations
fundraising banquet (also this past weekend) should have
listened to much of what was said without their
pseudo-patriotic blinders on. Perhaps they might have come
away with the correct realization that the FBI is NOT our
"friend!"
We should not be seeking a 'comfort zone' at any price in
America. We will not be accepted nor respected by attempting
to cut corners on our principles and practices. Respect must
be earned through the heated cauldron of struggle [for what
is right and just]! May the vicissitudes of time find us
worthy; Ameen.
In the struggle for peace thru justice,
El-Hajj Mauri' Saalakhan
