Strangers
Ibn Umar . r.a. reported: The Messenger of , Allah, peace
and blessings be upon him, took hold of my shoulder and he
said, "Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a
traveler along a path." Ibn Umar said, "If you enter the
evening, then do not wait for the morning. If you enter the
morning, then do not wait for the evening. Take from your
health for your sickness and from your life for your
death."

Jamaat al-Muslimeen
Resolutions of Jamaat al-Muslimeen's National Shoora Committee
December 2, 2017
For Distribution On Line Across USA
Syria
We condemn the aerial bombing and killing of civilians in
Raqqa, Aleppo, and other cities in Syria, and call for an
investigation and punishment of the perpetrators.
Iraq
We condemn the aerial bombing and long range artillery
shelling of Mosul, which resulted in the death of 40,000
civilians; we call for an investigation and punishment of
the perpetrators.
Palestine
We condemn the recent destruction of Palestinian olive
orchards—one of a long string of atrocities against
Palestinians— by Israeli settlers, and the turning of
a blind eye by the Israeli Occupation Authority.
Afghanistan
We urgently call for the removal of foreign troops from
Afghanistan, so that peace can be established through mutual
consensus by the Afghan people; and we call for the
cessation of military operations by the Pakistani forces on
the Pak-Afghan frontier.
Pakistan
We congratulate Khadim Hussain Rizvi and his movement on his
movement's victory, and for his success in fighting
subversion of the Khatem-e-Naboovat (finality of
Prophethood).by secularists.
Libya
We condemn Western plans to intervene in Libya and call for
an investigation and punishment of the groups holding slaves
in that country.
Burma
We unequivocally condemn the shocking brutalities of the
Myanmar regime and Buddhist priests against the Rohingya
Muslims.
Zimbabwe
We celebrate the change of government in Zimbabwe, while
cautioning against the opening of Zimbabwe to corporate
interests and the reversal of ZANU-PF policies preserving
the rights of African farmers and other Zimbabweans.
United States
The charges brought by American women against U.S.
politicians and others in positions of power reveal
broad-spread sexual harassment in a nation which preaches
women's liberation to Muslim countries. We condemn rape,
sexual harassment, and intimidation of women by men in
positions of power, and call for investigations into all
such incidents.
Recent leaks in the Transpacific Pipeline reveal the major
threat by such pipelines to indigenous populations, their
water supplies, and to the country at large. We stand with
the water protectors against Big Oil and Gas.
Khutba on December 1, 2017
Khutba on "Saudi" Arabia, Libya, Finality of Prophethood and
big Zionist moves against Islam
Br. Kaukab Siddique gave the juma khutba at Masjid Jamaat
al-Muslimeen in Baltimore as a prelude to the Jamaat
al-Muslimeen National Shoora on December 2. Here are the
main points for distribution on line:
Islamic unity requires end of claims of unity on
nationalism, race and ethnicity.
There are about two BILLION Muslims in the world but we
are divided into approximately 56 nationalities.
Unity must be based on Qur'an and authentic hadith
There are cult leaders who are luring Muslims without
accepting interpretation of the Qur'an by authentic
hadith.
Leaders who claim to have access to Allah should be
shunned. Only the prophets and messengers had such access.
All these cult leaders are fake.
Islam is successful if we strive and have a personal
relationship with Allah and a passion for the Sunnah.
The media are misleading Muslims and non-Muslims on a
daily basis.
Media select EVIL INCIDENTS in one country and use the
incidents to CONDEMN THAT country.
We are critical of Kingship because there is no kingship
in Islam. That does not mean that we should open the door
for western powers and Zionist media and Iranian sectarians
to destroy Saudi Arabia.
There are many good people in Arabia. The claim that
there is nothing good in "Saudi" Arabia is a sectarian claim
with a hidden agenda.
Same is the situation in Libya. If gangs are practicing
slavery, that does not give the West the right to condemn
all of Libya.
A big move was made recently in Pakistan to undermine,
subtly, the belief in the finality of prophethood.
Fortunately a new Islamic movement blocked that secret
process.
Muslim women are a central part of the Ummah. Attempts
are underway to create the sense that the West, and not
Islam, is liberating women. Look at what is happening to
women in America at the HIGHEST LEVEL.
The West has no one who can compare even remotely with
Ayesha, Fatima, Hajira, Ruqayya and Umm Ammara, may Allah
bless them all.
Spread and proclaim the Islamic narrative.
Pray for the unity of the ummah on Qur'an and authentic
hadith.
Ameen.

War News
Iraq
Re-Emergence of ISIS. 90,000 Yazeedis Immigrated to Europe
in July. Turkish air strikes in North.
December 3. According to BAS news [Kurdish service] a large
Islamic State group has emerged in the Mandali area, east of
Baqubah [not far from Iranian border].
France is exerting its influence to stop a clash between
Kurdish groups and Shia groups.
The Baghdad sources have been saying that in July this year
90,000 Yazeedis had emigrated to Europe. However the western
media have still not picked up this important disclosure.
Baghdad is also saying that another 3100 Yazeedis are under
the security of Baghdad forces.
[This news indicates that the stories of genocide of
Yazeedis by ISIS were fake.]
Bomb attacks by IS in various areas of Baghdad are going on
one or two every day.
In north eastern mountain areas of Iraq, Turkish jets bombed
suspected PKK positions. Results are not known.
Meanwhile US surveillance on December 3 helped the Shia air
force to destroy a suspected suicide bomber in his vehicle
moving towards Mosul in the south of the city.
Baghdad regime now says it is sure that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
is alive somewhere on the Iraq-Syria border region where a
large desert area known as the TRIANGLE is under ISIS
control.
Syria
About 50,000 Flee Rajhan town before Assad forces enter
Close Combat with al-Nusra.
Surprise: IS still controls 20 towns on the Euphrates.
Damascus Hit by Mujahideen. Israel hits ISIS near Golan.
Assad Shells Daraa. Palestinian factions face off in Yarmouk
camp.
November 27 to December 3: The Shiite juggernaut has been
brought to a standstill on all fronts as ferocious battles
continue.
The Assad regime moved a large force towards Rahjan town in
the northern region of Hama province. According to
observers, the regime wanted to capture the town owing to
its symbolic value as the hometown of Assad's Defense
Minister. As the news of the offensive spread, the entire
population fled as the Russian air force and the Assad air
force started bombing al-Nusra [al-Qaida] positions in the
area. The Shiite force captured Rahjan without much
difficulty on November 30.
On December 1, al-Nusra counterattacked, with its flanks
protected by Turkistan Islamic army [Uighur Muslims from
China]. By December 3, al-Nusra has recaptured Rajhan
despite stiff fighting with Lebanese Hizb and elite Alawite
troops.
Its not clear when or if the population will be able to
return because Assad is sending reinforcements.
Meanwhile there is stalemate in southeastern Deir ez- Zor
province as the Kurdish Communists advance south with the
close support of the US air force while Assad forces try to
advance from the west.
The latest news, a complete surprise, is that 20 towns on
the banks of the Euphrates are in the hands of the Islamic
State [IS] while Assad and the West had given the impression
that IS had lost all the towns in the south east.
ISIS has once against forced the regime regiments [Hizb and
Shi'ite militias] to retreat to the west of Bokamal which
the regime said had been captured. ISIS in another
demonstration of its blood thirsty tactics, to celebrate its
victory, has executed 15 of Assad's forces including a
pilot.
Around Damascus, the regime has spent another week trying to
dislodge Islamic groups in various sectors, killing a number
of people with artillery and barrel bombs dropped from
helicopters but couldn't change the situation.
In Yarmuk camp, Palestinian factions are again facing off
after the pro-Assad factions fired mortars at the
pro-mujahideen factions.
In the border near Golan, Israeli occupied territory, the
Khalid ibn al-Waleed faction of ISIS has expanded its
control area to 250 square miles. Israel responded with air
strikes killing more than 20 ISIS fighters including a
commander. ISIS control of of the area has not weakened.
