Hadith of the Week

 Hadith of the Week

The Unique Honor of Usman, r.a., from the Prophet, pbuh, which no other sahabi had.

From 'Abdullah ibn Umar ibn Usman, r.a.,:"Since Allah created Adam, no one has married two daughters of a prophet except Usman, r.a.,, and it will be so until the Final Hour. Thus he was called the Possessor of Two Lights."
[al-Baihaqi, Sunan al-Kubra, 7:73]

Comment by Kaukab Siddique: Muslims shoulld know more about Usman, r.a., because Shias and Agha Khanis have been slandering him. By attacking him, they are trying to malign the authenticity of the Qur'an. Remember that Usman, r.a., compiled the Qur'an which we all read nowadays.

Iraq

Yazidi Story was a fake.

November 9. Iraqi News: Khairi Bozen, the official in charge of Yazidi affairs in Iraq said that "90,000 Yazidis immigrated" to Europe in July.

Another 3181 Yazidis are in the hands of the Iraqi regime now according to Bozen.

{New Trend readers might remember the worldwide Zionist propaganda claiming that ISIS had wiped out the Yazidis, men, women and children]

Editorial:

 Editorial

New Trend report on ONE year old Trump presidency. Main Points:

The Black, the Poor, the Dissident Muslims
Remain Stacked in Prisons. Injustice is the Norm.

Both sides have been attacking each other through FOX vs CNN -MSNBC. Most of what they say is propaganda.

Assumptions about sides are often false. Let us look at some of them.

  1. Trump is anti-Muslim. Not true. Muslims of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar are his friends at the leadership level. The propaganda was started by the Khan family whose son was killed in battle with the Taliban. Immigration from 6 Muslim countries stopped by Trump didn't work owing to US law courts.

    1. Pro-Clinton people who claim to be pro Muslim DO NOT condemn the bombing and droning of Muslim countries. Even the US air force's bombing of women and children of ISIS families has elicited no protest from the liberal left including Blacks. America has reduced entire Muslim cities to rubble. Thousands of civilians have been killed in Mosul and Raqqa by the US air force. Complete silence by both Trump and anti-trump groups, including Blacks.


  2. Trump is against Black people more than Obama was. Again, not true. police killed Black, unarmed, young men during the Obama regime on a scale unequalled by Trump.

    1. Instead we see something quite different: A Black police officer [female] saved a whole group of Republican lawmakers when a White Democrat shot one of them and wanted to kill all of them.

    2. Like the Muslim soldier killed by the Taliban, a Black soldier, elite green beret, has been killed in Niger by al-Qaida very recently.


  3. Extreme right wingers marched in Charlottesville, Virginia and Trump hesitated to condemn them. In the Obama administration, Zionist Jews rallied in support of Israel. The media did not make a fuss about that. Obama rushed after his election to go to Zionist AIPAC headquarters to thank the Jews.

  4. Trump supports Israel. Obama too supported Israel. However, Obama has the distinction of gifting the biggest package of military aid to Israel in the history of America. [$38 billion]. Obama was silent during three invasions of Gaza.

  5. Trump insults women. This claim is based on ONE statement by Trump from decades in the past. By contrast Clinton had sex with a Jewish girl in the Oval office
  6. Trump is trying to move against homos and transgender [lgbtq]. This is true. What happens in the private lives of sexual deviants is not our business.


However Muslims should beware of supporting LGBTQ. Islam abhors such activity. Muslims do not teach violence, abuse or violation of the basic human rights of deviant groups. However in America, this deviance has become a national movement openly opposing Islam and Christianity.
Conclusion: The Clinton campaign [the biggest lineup of Zionist Jews in America] did not expect Trump to win. His victory came as a huge shock and since day 1, the Zionists have been trying to demolish Trump's presidency. There is a countrywide movement against Trump in which the Zionists are cynically using Black people and Muslims.

Islam does not allow us to support either Trump or anti-Trump. Focus on Qur'an and Sunnah. We are answerable to Allah.




PAKISTAN

 Pakistan

Khadim Hussain, New Islamic Movement leader, calls on Muslims to liberate Dr. Aafia Siddiqui

[This video is in Urdu and Punjabi languages. It's a powerful khutba by Khadim Hussain Rizvi calling on Muslims to rise up and liberate Aafia Siddiqui who is in a US prison, sentenced to 86 years on highly suspect charges.]

Khadim Hussain leads a new movement called Labaik ya Rasool Allah ["Here we are o Messenger of Allah"]. He invokes the legendary Islamic heroes like Khalid ibn al-Waleed, r.a., and Muhammad ibn Qasim to urge Muslims to liberate Aafia.

He knows the revolutionary poetry of Allama Iqbal and uses its tremendous impact to awaken the Muslim conscience.

[In the recent elections in Lahore, his party, Labaik ya Rasool Allah surprised everyone by winning a very considerable number of votes.]

Demonstrators Enter Islamabad: New Movement [Labaika ya Rasool Allah] Supporting Finality of Prophethood.

November 10: Several thousand protestors who had been gathering on the outskirts of the capital of Pakistan for several days entered the city in opposition to police efforts to stop them. Several people were injured in the clashes.

The demonstrators suspect that the government contains elements who are trying to undermine the Islamic basis of Pakistan by creating vagueness about the law on Finality of Muhammad, pbuh, as the last of the prophets and messengers.




Government Hiding Inquiry on Attempt to Legitimize Qadyani {"ahmeddi"] Religion

LAHORE, Nov. 10; Deputy chief of the Jamaat e Islami, Hafiz Muhammad Idrees, has said that the government had so far not take any action against Law Minister Zahid Hamid who had been advocating the unholy cause of the Qadyanis nor had thrown him out of the cabinet.

Addressing a big Friday congregation at Mansoora mosque, he however said that the nation would never forgive the people who had been disloyal to the concept of the finality of the Holy Prophet.

Hafiz Muhammad Idrees said that ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was in the grip of Allah Almighty yet he was not ready to seek forgiveness. Had Nawaz Sharif any fear of Allah and any love for the Holy Prophet, he would have by now dissociated himself from the rebels of the faith in Khatm e Nubuwwat.

He further said the nation was still awaiting the report of the Raja Zafarul Haq committee which was not out despite the passage of a period of one and a half months.

Syria
Major Defeat for Iran-Iraq-Shias at Bokamal.
Baghdadi leading Resistance.
Also news of Damascus & Idlib

November 9-12
It appears from wire services that the Islamic State trapped Shia forces in Bokamal and then slaughtered them. Shia forces from Iraq known as Hashed al-Shabi had entered Syria from Iraq and captured Bokamal linking up with Iranian and Hizbulllah forces coming from the west under Russian air cover.

Islamic State fighters withdrew from Bokamal and created the impression that ISIS was collapsing.

The IS forces in big numbers then ambushed the Shias in Bokamal and slaughtered them in the middle of the city. The Syrian Observatory says it was a "great defeat" for the Iran-Iraq-Hizb forces.

Hizbullah fought back hard and ISIS casualties are rising too.

After the Shia defeat, the Russian air force went wild and bombed the entire area at random, including a displaced persons camp, killing 26 civilians.

Assad is sending in more forces to counterattack ISIS.

It appears that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi himself was commanding the victorious IS force. Iran says he was sighted. There is a $25 million bounty on his head.

[Bokamal is on the Syria-Iraq border.]

Meanwhile Kurdish Communists under cover of US air force are moving down south along the Euphrates river, forcing IS to retreat.

Around Damascus, in the Jobar area, Assad's forces attacked again but were pushed back by al-Rahman Corp near Ein Terma.

In Idlib province, Islamic forces are being protected by Muslims from China's Sinkiang province known as Uighers. There is a large Islamic Chinese [Uigher] presence in Idlib under the banner of Turkistan Islamic Army [not related to the country known as Turkey.]

China has announced its support for the Assad regime.

Support is also coming for Assad from General Haftar, America's main support in Libya.

West of Aleppo, Al-Qaida affiliates and other Muslim groups are fighting each other, much to the delight of Assad.




News Within the U.S. & Canada

 News within the US

A Christian Leader, Senate Candidate, Roy Moore, is being targeted big time by Zionist and pro-Homo groups. Here is his response: [November 8]

"I've been mischaracterized in the press saying that I hate people because of their beliefs. I don't hate anybody. I'm a Christian," he told reporters after speaking at a K-12 Tuscaloosa Christian school. "That's why I'm speaking at the American Christian Academy here. Christians don't hate people. We don't hate gays, we don't hate people -- we hate sin. That's something biblical. I stand for principles ... but I don't hate people, and I don't hate them because of their religion or anything else. Freedom of conscience is something that I spoke about today. ...The freedom of conscience allows people in this country to worship as they will, but that freedom comes from God."

Moore also said there's no need for him to debate his Democratic opponent, Doug Jones, because their differences are well documented. On Wednesday, Moore's camp declined an invitation from AL.com in collaboration with WHNT to debate with Jones in advance of the senate election. Jones was willing to participate.

"There's a great disparity between the two parties' positions - between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party - not only on social issues, such as the acknowledgement of God - need to have God back in our platform - but also because there's a great disparity in fiscal issues - Obamacare, for example. I'm for repealing Obamacare, but also repealing the McCarran-Ferguson Act to allow the free enterprise system to take the place of the government-controlled health care system. My opponent is for increase of Obamacare and increase of government control. There's great disparity. These issues don't need to be disputed in public, the public should see that, he said. "Furthermore, we have a great disparity in rights. Right now, my opponent favors transgender rights in the military, transgender bathrooms under Title XI .... I oppose these issues. I oppose them very strongly. I think transgenderism has no place in the military, I've been in the military. My opponent hasn't. So there's a great disparity; we don't need to debate."

 Kashmir

Overseas Kashmiris rally at site of Berlin Wall.
Peaceful Challenge to India's Occupation of Kashmir.


October 27, 1947: the day when Kashmir became occupied. Dr. Fai

Berlin, Germany. November 3, 2017. "The All Parties Hurriyet Conference summoned Kashmiris all over the world to demonstrate on October 27, 2017 as a symbol of their unity and will to resist India's ugly colonization. October 27, 1947 is forever scarred in the collective minds of the Kashmiri people as the day they became occupied" said Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai, Secretary General, World Kashmir Awareness Forum who was in Berlin to participate in the 'Million Man March' announced by Barrister Sultan Mehmood Choudhary, former Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir.

Speaking about the historical significance of the Berlin Wall, Fai reminded of the Ceasefire Line which not only divides the land but the families of Kashmiris as well. He warned that there are some quarters who suggest to convert the Ceasefire Line into an international border. That proposal is not only a non-solution but also a fallacy because it mocks the suffering, anguish and pain of the people of Kashmir.

Fai asked that the people of Kashmir revolted against the status quo and how can status quote becomes an answer? Also, Kashmiris wish to emphasize that their land is not a real estate which can be parceled out between two disputants. They are not chattel that can be divided between two member countries of the United Nations. Their land is the home of a nation with a history far more compact and coherent than that of India.

No settlement of Kashmir will hold unless it is based on the principles of self-determination and no settlement will be acceptable to the people unless India and Pakistan initiates a tripartite negotiations -- Government of India, Government of Pakistan along with the genuine leadership of the people of Jammu & Kashmir.

Fai reiterated that India's attempt to legalize its illegality rests on a bogus 'Instrument of Accession' by a Maharaja, which the ruler had no authority to sign. Even Alaister Lamb, a British scholar has convincingly demonstrated that the Instrument was a bogus. An original has never been found, and there is no plausible explanation for a disappearance if an original had ever existed.

Fai, however, cautioned that at this moment in the historic struggle of the self- determination, the people of Kashmir with poise, confidence and unity are taking their inalienable struggle in a new direction of non-violence and peaceful agitation.

GUIDANCE

 Guidance

Self-Purification is the Key to Guidance
by Sis. Yasmn

'As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu'.

It is reported in al-Musnad, on the authority of Anas, that the

Prophet [ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ] said:

' The Faith of a servant is not put right until his Heart

is put right, and his heart is not put right

until his Tongue is put right.'

This shows that the Prophet

[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ]

has made the purification of Faith conditional on the purification of the Heart, and the purification of the Heart conditional on the purification of the Tongue...{!}

At-Tirmidhi relates in a Hadith on the authority of

Ibn 'Umar (R):

'Do not talk excessively without remembering Allah, because such excessive talk without the mention of Allah causes the heart to harden, and the person furthest from Allah is

a person with a hard heart.'

'Umar Ibn al- Khattab' ~

[ may Allah be pleased with him] said:

'A person who talks too much is a person who often makes mistakes, and someone who often makes mistakes, often has wrong actions.

The Fire has a priority over such a frequent sinner.'

In a Hadith related on the authority of Mu'adh (R)~

Prophet[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ] said:

'Shall I not tell you how to control all that...?'

I said, ' Yes do, O Messenger of Allah.'

So he held his tongue between his fingers, and then he said:

'Restrain this.' {!}

I said, ''O Prophet of Allah, are we accountable for what we say?'' he said, '' May your mother be bereft by your loss... is there anything more than the harvest of the tongues that throws people on their faces (or he said 'on their noses') into the Fire?''

A hadith related by Abu Huraira~ (RA) says:

''What mostly causes people to be sent to the Fire are the two {2} openings...the mouth and the private parts.''

Abu Huraira (RA) also related that the Messenger of Allah

[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ] said :

'The servant speaks words, the consequences of which he does not realize, and for which he is sent down into the depths of the Fire further than the distance between the east and the west.'

The same Hadith was transmitted by at-Tirmidhi with slight variations:

'The servant says something that he thinks is harmless, and for which he will be plunged into the depths of the Fire as far as seventy autumns.'

Uqba ibn Amir (R) said:

''I said: ''O Messenger of Allah, what is our best way of surviving?''

he [may Allah bless him and grant him peace] replied:

''Guard your tongue, make your house suffice for sheltering your privacy, and weep for your wrong actions.''

It has been related on the authority of Sahl ibn Sa'd(R) that the Prophet

[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ]said:

'Whoever can guarantee what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, I guarantee him the Garden.'

It has also been related by Abu Huraira~

[may Allah be pleased with him] that Prophet ~[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ]said:

'Let whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day either speak good or remain silent.'

The Prophet

[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace said:

'Everything that the children of Adam say goes against them, except for their enjoining good and forbidding evil, and remembering Allah, Glorious and Mighty is He.'

[ This was reported by at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah on the authority of Umm Habiba,~

[may Allah be pleased with her].

Umar ibn al- Khattab visited Abu Bakr...

[may Allah be pleased with them both] and found him pulling his tongue with his fingers... !

Umar [RA] said '' Stop! may Allah forgive you !''

Abu Bakr [ may Allah bless him ]replied:

'This Tongue has brought me to dangerous places.'

Abdullah ibn Masud (R) said :

' By Allah, besides Whom no God exists, nothing deserves a long prison sentence more than my tongue.

He also used to say

'O tongue, say good and you will profit; desist from saying evil things and you will be safe; otherwise you will find only regret.'

Abu Huraira (R) reported that Ibn al-Abbas(R) said:

'A person will not feel greater fury or anger for any part of his body on the Day of Judgement more than what he will feel for his Tongue... unless he only used it for saying or enjoining good.'

Al-Hassan~[ may Allah bless him ] said:

'Whoever does not hold his tongue cannot understand his deen.'

The least harmful of a tongue's faults is talking about whatever does not concern it.

The following Hadith of the Prophet

[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ]said: is enough to indicate the harm of this fault:

''One of the merits of a person's Islam is his abandoning what does not concern him.''`

Abu Ubaida related that al-Hassan (R) said:

''One of the signs of Allah's abandoning a servant is His making him preoccupied with what does not concern him.''

Sahl (ra) said:

'Whoever talks about what does not concern him is deprived of truthfulness. '

This is the least harmful of the tongue's faults.

There are far worse things ...like backbiting, gossiping, obscene and misleading talk, two-faced and hypocritical talk, showing off, quarelling, bickering, lying, mockery, derision and falsehood; and there are many more faults which can affect a servant's tongue, ruining his heart and causing him to lose both his happiness and pleasure in this life, and his success and profit in the next life.

The Distraction and Antics of President Donald "Humpty" Trump
By
Dr. Wilmer J. Leon, III

{as our intellectual friend, the famous Dr. Leon, uncovers Trump's extension of war all over Africa, we worry that we might get a tweet from the White House.....Editor New Trend[

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall; All the king's horses and all the king's men, couldn't put Humpty together again." The Dorling Kindersley Book of Nursery Rhymes (2000)

Some people dismiss children's stories and nursery rhymes as just foolish tales or cleaver verse. Many of these tales are also allegories - stories or poems with deeper moral or political meaning. Baum's Wizard of Oz can be interpreted as metaphor for the political, economic, and social events of America in the 1890s or Orwell's Animal Farm as describing the overthrow of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and the Communist Revolution of Russia before WW I.

So, it is with the children's poem Humpty Dumpty. The tale of this human-like egg figure has been interpreted by some as the story of King Charles I of England, Ireland and Scotland. He reigned from 1625-1649. Charles I, believed as King his power was absolute. He ignored the will of Parliament and governed based upon his own conscience (or lack thereof). A number of his subjects perceived him as a bully and a tyrant. After a lengthy battle with English and Scottish Parliaments over the idea of a constitutional monarchy Charles I was captured (the great fall) and imprisoned. His army (the King's horses and men) was unable to return him to the throne.

As Americans are now subjected to the indictment of President Trump's former campaign manager Paul J. Manafort Jr. and Manafort's business partner Rick Gates, the guilty plea of the former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign George Papadopoulos and the possible perjury of Attorney General Sessions; the similarities between President Trump, the ignorant, narcissistic, misogynist president and Humpty Dumpty (Charles I) are unavoidable. Are the indictments brought by special counsel Robert S. Mueller, III and those still pending, the beginning of President Humpty's fall?

As important as the Mueller investigation is to the protection of the American democratic process; Americans cannot allow themselves to be distracted by Humpty Trump's tweets, antics and mainstream medias singular focus on his ignorance and foolishness. There are a number of important issues that are being ignored or not being given the in-depth coverage and analysis they deserve.

As Americans mourned the loss of Sgt. La David Johnson and his comrades in Niger and fume over Trump's insulting Sgt. Johnson's family, there has been very little discussion about why American soldiers are in Niger. Reporting by Vijay Prashad indicates that Tongo Tongo, the village near Niger's border with Mali where the US soldiers were killed is in the middle of an area that is ground zero for the illicit trade that defines the Sahara, cocaine, guns and refugees. The assassination of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya has created a power vacuum in this region and previously closed routes for illicit trading have reopened. It might have been narco-terrorists not Boko Haram who killed the soldiers.

As the United States has claimed victory over ISIS in Raqqa the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) recently launched airstrikes against ISIS in northeastern Somalia. According to Al Jazeera, "From the Horn of Africa in the east to the Sahel, encompassing Central and West Africa, security forces backed by Western troops have been stepping up efforts to counter armed groups such as ISIL, Boko Haram, al-Shabab and al-Qaeda." It's not that the US is winning; it's that the war is morphing into a different landscape.

Another issue that has received very little coverage is the request by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense James Mattis to continue the current war powers authorization. According to NPR, the Trump administration is pushing back against the growing call to examine the current authorization to use force to combat ISIS and other terrorist organizations. It is a growing concern in Congress that the existing authorization, put in place in 2001 in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks no longer holds merit and should be re-examined. Virginia Congressman Tim Kane asked, "If a new authorization isn't needed 17 years into a war, would it be required "in year 30? In year 40? In year 50?"

The United States is not winning anything with these ongoing military exploits. It is the same game being shifted to different battlefields for the same hegemonic, racist and imperialistic motivations. A lot, if not most of the resources that are needed to continually feed the insatiable diet of European and Western powers lie beneath the soil of countries inhabited by people of color.

These former imperial powers will expend any cost to extract uranium from Niger, coltan for cell phones from Congo and diamonds from South Africa. According to Global Security.org, "Since World War II the United States has become increasingly dependent on imported strategic minerals... Of the 24 major nonfuel minerals consumed by industrial nations, the United States is substantially dependent on imports for 21 of them...A major source for many of these minerals is Africa. This is a volatile region in which there is a distinct possibility of major disruption of U.S. supplies of strategic minerals." When you connect the dots between the unquenchable thirst for natural resources, AFRICOM and the Trump administration's request for a virtually unlimited power to engage in war; we have entered into a cycle of neo-colonialism and devastation previously unknown in modern history. We are in for a 50-year war.

Mainstream American media continues to focus on the incessant tweeting, lying and rants of a 71-year-old petulant child while the continent of Africa is being recolonized. The Trump administration is attempting to deconstruct the American administrative state while the police state is being ushered in. The right to vote is under attack with gerrymandering and voter suppression tactics becoming more prevalent and more difficult to challenge. As Dr. Gerald Horn has stated, the American judiciary is being cast in the likeness of the reactionary, anti-affirmative action, anti-reproductive rights for women and anti-union Justice Neil Gorsuch. Sixteen Trump nominees are being considered for the federal bench. Are these nominees more or less likely to support Trump's myopic, neo-liberal, anti-civil liberty approach to the Constitution? It's frightening that Trump and Senator McConnell are in lockstep with this process.

These are just a few examples of how America is being distracted. As Toto, Dorthey's dog in The Wizard of Oz pulled back the curtain; Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow were all told by "The Wizard" to, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." Well, as Trump tweets, tweets and labels the US justice system a "laughing stock"; we need Toto today. Focus on the man behind the curtain because Donald "Humpty" Trump is teetering on the edge but be careful what you pray for. As Jane Mayer writes in The New Yorker as Trump's critics yearn for his exit, Pence, "the corporate right's inside man, poses his own risks."

Latest Khutba

 Advice

How do we know Allah Exists? Finality of Prophethood Protects the Qur'an. Male-female Corruption in USA

On November 10 Br. Kaukab Siddique gave the Juma khutba at Masjid Jamaat al-Muslimeen in Baltimore.

The masjid was crowded despite the sudden cold weather which was sweeping in at 25 degrees.

Here is the outline of the khutba for distribution on line:

Texts:

The Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, said: "The chain of messengers and prophets has come to an end. There shall be no messenger or prophet after me." [Sunan of Tirmidhi and Musnad of Ahmad]

  1. Muslims sometimes forget that the Qur'an provides guidance in all matters. We should not limit the guidance to formal worship. We as Muslims must look in the Qur'an for politics, economics, sociology, psychology, family life and everything else.

  2. If we do not understand a text in the Qur'an, go to hadith. If you can't understand or find hadith, go to a reliable and honest scholar.

  3. There will not be any Qur'an after the Qur'an we have, nor any Prophet or Messenger after Muhammad.

  4. Attempts are made to change the meaning of the Qur'an by sectarians. The Qur'an is protected by Allah, and the Prophet, pbuh, ensured that attempts to change it are preempted by the fact that there is no prophet or messenger after Muhammad, pbuh.

  5. Only if the Book were changed or incomplete would there be a need for a new Prophet.

  6. We live in a corrupt society. Both sides are corrupt. Watch what they are saying about each other.

  7. Many are even denying the existence of God. Allah teaches us to learn the existence of the Creator through three sources among others:


    1. The heavens and the earth in their perfectly cohesive processes. [Afaq]

    2. The functioning of our bodies is a living miracle from birth to death. [Unfus]

    3. Prophets and messengers have been sent all the way from Noah, to Abraham, to Moses, to Jesus, to Muhammad, Allah bless them all, teaching the Oneness and supremacy of Allah. [Tawheed]


  8. Women are the targets of men in power as well as men not in power. Adultery, fornication and pornography, drinking parties show how dominant men demean and devalue women.

  9. In turn women are using sexuality to destroy men. Now a Christian man is being accused by a woman whom he allegedly touched 32 years back. The purpose is not to let an openly anti-Lqbtq man get elected.

  10. Many women are now also using the child support laws to have sex, become pregnant and then be paid by the man for years to come. So many men have been imprisoned through this process because they are unemployed.

  11. The Islamic community must become aware of these issues to separate themselves from this social system and to help those who are trying to get out of this swamp of immorality.


Du'a: O Allah help us to study the Qur'an and to emulate the Sunnah. O Allah help us to unite the Muslims on the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
