Hadith was Written down during the time of the Prophet, pbuh.
Abdullah ibn Umru ibn al-Aas, r.a.
"Whatever I heard from the messenger of Allah, peace be on
him, I would write it down so as to be able to memorize it.
Then some in the Quraish (tribe) said to me: You write down
whatever you hear though the messenger of Allah is a human
being and speaks both in anger and in joy. On hearing that I
stopped writing and then I mentioned this to the messenger
of Allah. He pointed with his finger to his mouth and said:
Write on! By Him in whose Hand is my being, no word comes
out of this mouth but the Truth."
Comment by Kaukab Siddique:
Here is one sample from a prominent companion of the
Prophet, pbuh, Abdullah ibn Umru ibn al-Aas. It is
authenticated by two distinct and separate compilers of
Hadith, Abu Dawud in his Sunan (chapter kitabul ilm) and
Darimi in his Musnad (chapter on Rukhs fi kitabut
al-ilm).
Jerusalem. Faith of the masses, Hypocrisy of the Rulers.
Any Role for US Muslims?
by Kaukab Siddique
Trump's declaration on Jerusalem sparked protests across the
Muslim world, Even in occupied countries, like Kashmir,
Syria, Afghanistan, people came out for Jerusalem. Some of
the rallies are huge as in Gaza, the West Bank, Pakistan and
Turkey.
Egyptians rallied in many areas and Gen. Sissi did not try
to stop them though his security forces were ready.
What's deeply hypocritical are the tactics of the
rulers.
Abbas, who claims to lead Palestine, has been a consistent
sell -out. He gave a blank check to Israel long ago but
Israel would not accept it.
General Sissi, of Egypt, has recognized Israel as a
legitimate entity and receives support from USA, the main
backer of Israel.
King Abdullah, of Jordan, is an outright traitor, whose
relations with Israel are so close that he is suspected of
being a CIA operative, as were his father and
grandfather.
UAE has open business and political relations at the level
of the ruling family with Israel.
Syria's Golan Heights were captured by Israel militarily.
Assad has never dared to try and take it back. How could he
possibly do anything for Jerusalem although it is almost
next door. He has been busy slaughtering the people of Syria
as was his father. His secret relations with Israel have
saved him from Israeli attacks.
Iran is a big talker about Palestine and Jerusalem. However
in all these years, IRAN HAS NOT FIRED ONE SHOT AT ISRAEL.
It's all bogus talk and hot air coming out of Tehran. Tehran
got an amount of billions of dollars from USA at the crucial
phase of the struggle of the war in Syria [Shah's funds
seized by US], which helped Iran fund, arm and mobilize
shias from across Asia.
Last week Israel bombed an Iranian military encampment near
the Golan Heights. Twelve Iranian soldiers were killed.
There was no response or shoot back by the Iranians.
Another big mouth full of hot air about Palestine is
Hizbullah of Lebanon. It has a wide border with Israel
[Occupied Palestine] but most of its forces are helping
Assad suppress the people of Syria. During THREE INVASIONS
of GAZA by Israel in which more than a thousand Palestinian
children were killed, Hizbullah did LITERALLY NOTHING, not
even a border incident. How foolish it is for Shia lovers to
believe that Hizbullah will liberate Palestine, let alone
free Jerusalem!
The sweetest tear jerker about Jerusalem is Turkey's great
hero Erdogan. Guess what! Turkey has accepted Israel as a
legitimate state and has diplomatic relations with it. Also,
Erdogan stabbed the mujahideen in Syria and has occupied a
100 miles of Syria. Erdogan is working in coordination with
Russia, Israel's friend. What can Erdogan do to free
Jerusalem? NOTHING!
In Kabul and Baghdad, the US-installed regimes are firmly in
place and there is not much they can do without the
permission of USA.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have not recognized Israel and
their people up to the top level are anti-Israel. However
the two governments are embroiled in internal politics and
conspiracies.
Only with the survival and victory of mujahideen groups can
the movement towards the liberation of Palestine and finally
Jerusalem become real.
America is the foundation of Israel's existence. America's
internal turmoil may end up weakening support for Israel.
Trump's support for Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is
not real. He is already back pedaling towards a six month
extension. American strategists know that direct attacks on
Islam could lead to the emergence of a Salahuddin Ayyubi.
America's Muslims are highly educated and well endowed. They
have been successfully co opted by the Democratic Party. If
they become an independent force, they could slow down
America's moves in support of Israel.
Imam Badi Ali [Courtesy ICT, Greensboro, North
Carolina]
JERUSALEM IS THE CAPITAL OF PALESTINE!!!
All Praise to Allah (SWT), we had 300+ people who
participated in our protest yesterday, 12/10/2017.
InshaAllah we will continue with this theme of, "Jerusalem
is the Capital of Palestine."
Thank you for coming out and supporting! And stay tuned for
upcoming activities.
Re: The tragic break up of Pakistan.
How to bring Pakistan and Bangladesh closer
By Muhammad Abd al-Hameed
[This is a groundbreaking article and deserves attention.
Tye details at the end can always be worked out. The
important point is to bring them closer - Editor]
I was in Dhaka the day we won the world cup in cricket. The
excitement was all over the place. In the morning, I had to
visit a government office to get some information,
accompanied by an official guide. Office after office was
closed.
"Is there a strike?" I wondered.
"No, the officers are at home watching the cricket match,"
the guide explained.
Finally, he found an officer in his seat. "You have great
sense of duty," I complimented him on his presence. The
officer, with a white beard, smiled. "Well, I have my son at
home, calling me every hour to give the latest score." There
was widespread jubilation on the result, as if Bangladesh
itself had won. Such were the emotions of the people.
After moving about for several days and meeting people,
including public servants, it seemed that the people, if
they could, would love to lift their country and place it
next to Pakistan. Even after so many years, the separation
and its aftermath had not diminished the deep Muslim
brotherhood.
We can do now what we should have done back in 1971. We can
create a framework that brings us closer and closer,
overcoming the bitterness of the past. While retaining their
separate identities, the two countries can unite in a
confederation. Minimal in the beginning, the relations will
grow gradually as trust and understanding increases.
How to do it? As the first step, Parliaments of the two
countries should adopt the draft constitution given below to
form "Pak Desh." It provides only a framework for bringing
the two countries closer in their mutual interest, without
imposing any action that any side may consider undesirable,
or interfering in the affairs of either country. It also
does not propose any grandiose plan, such as a common
currency or common Parliament.
The Constitution of Pak Desh
WHEREAS the people of Pakistan and Bangladesh, having won
Independence in 1947 as a single country, want to have as
close relations as possible, while retaining their
sovereignty and independence;
WHEREAS the people of both countries, being part of the
Muslim Ummah, want to cooperate and collaborate in the
promotion of Islam and closer relations with Muslims
everywhere;
WHEREAS the two countries have common interests and
objectives and want to work together to achieve them;
NOW, THEREFORE, they hereby adopt this Constitution, through
their representatives in Parliaments of Pakistan and
Bangladesh, and it will take effect from ___(date)_.
Pakistan and Bangladesh will form a confederation, to be
called Pak Desh.
Pakistan and Bangladesh will retain their names,
independence and sovereignty.
Pakistan and Bangladesh will be called henceforth
respectively Western and Eastern Wings of Pak Desh.
President The head of Pak Desh will be Pak Desh
President.
On the recommendation of the Government of either Wing,
Parliaments of both Wings will elect as the Pak Desh
President a person, who qualifies to be elected the
President of his Wing, with votes of more than 50 percent of
the total members in each case.
Pak Desh President will continue in office until he
resigns, is declared unfit mentally and physically or
Parliament of either Wing shows lack of confidence in him
with a vote of more than 50 percent of its total
members.
Council Pak Desh will have a Council, to be called Pak
Desh Council, consisting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs,
Trade and Interior of the Government of Pakistan and
Government of Bangladesh.
While discussing an issue that is not under the
jurisdiction of any of the Council Members, the relevant
Ministers of both Wings will be invited to participate.
Pak Desh President will preside over the meetings of the
Pak Desh Council.
The Council will meet at least once in every three
months.
The Council will take all decisions with consensus of
its members.
A decision of the Council will take effect after 90 days
unless Parliament of either Wing overrules it before it
takes effect.
If Parliament of a Wing modifies a decision of the
Council before the end of 90 days, the modification will
take effect after the approval of Parliament of the other
Wing.
Secretariat The Secretariat of Pak Desh will have
offices in Islamabad and Dhaka and will consist of the staff
provided on deputation by the Government of the relevant
Wing, as needed.
The Governments of the two Wings will approve the budget
of Pak Desh, with each Government bearing half of the total
budget expenditure.
The official languages of the Secretariat will be Urdu
and Bangla.
Every staff member of the Secretariat will be very
fluent in both languages, to be able to read and write any
document in either language without difficulty.
Islam Both Wings will cooperate and collaborate in the
promotion of Islam through all possible means and in having
closer relations with Muslims everywhere.
The embassies and diplomatic missions of the two Wings
will collaborate to improve relations of Pak Desh with
Muslim countries.
Foreign policy Both Wings will consult each other on
foreign policy matters and their embassies and diplomatic
missions will collaborate on common issues.
Visa Each Wing will set up visa offices in major cities
of the other Wing.
Visa offices will receive applications directly through
registered post. Interviews will not be required for tourist
and business visas.
The visitors from one Wing to the other Wing will not
have to report their arrival and departure at a police
station. On arrival and departure, a visitor will submit
only a report card at immigration counter.
Defense If a Wing is attacked, it will be considered an
attack on the other Wing also and both will fight together
against the aggressor with all available means, including
nuclear weapons.
Both Wings will cooperate and collaborate in defense
matters, including training, equipment supply and joint
exercises.
Commerce The trade between the two Wings will be
considered internal, subject only to essential
regulations.
A private or public limited company in either Wing will
be allowed to set up an office or factory in the other Wing
without requiring formal permission, after informing the
central bank of each Wing,.

between the Wings, if grown, produced or manufactured mostly
locally.
Buyers in a Wing will pay in their own currency for
imports from the other Wing.
The currency of a Wing will be converted into the
currency of the other Wing only through scheduled banks and
at a rate determined daily by the central bank of the
respective Wing.
Communication The Governments of the two Wings will set
up an undersea optic fiber link between them, share the
initial cost and running expenses and offer it free of
charge to telecom companies of both Wings, provided they
apply domestic rates to their customers for inter-Wing voice
calls and other communications.
Domestic postal rates will apply to the surface mail
between the two Wings.
Each Wing will subsidize by at least 50 percent the
fares of the Lahore-Dhaka and Karachi-Dhaka flights of its
national carrier.

passenger and goods trains between them, under Indian
escorts.
Education The public sector universities and other
educational institutions in one Wing will admit students
from the other Wing on merit, whether they get scholarships
from their Government or want to study at their own
expense.
The Government of a Wing will promote the teaching of
the national language of the other Wing in its educational
institutions.
Sports Both Wings will hold regular annual inter-Wing
matches in athletics, cricket, hockey, football, and other
sports.
The best players of both Wings in a sport may form Pak
Desh teams to play against teams of other countries.
Culture Each Wing will set up cultural centers in the
major cities of the other Wing to promote better
understanding.
The feature films produced in one Wing will be shown in
the other Wing without any restrictions, whether in
original, dubbed or with subtitles, to provide larger
markets to their film industries.
Joint production of films will be encouraged with
government subsidies.
The state-owned and private television channels of both
Wings will be encouraged to exchange content and to produce
it jointly.
The Government of both Wings will sponsor exchange
visits of university teachers and students, journalists,
writers, etc.
The newspapers and magazines of a Wing may print
facsimile editions in the other Wing to promote better
understanding of their Wing. The facsimile editions will not
publish local advertisements and news to avoid conflict with
local publications.
Cooperation The two Wings will continue to explore
possibilities of cooperation and collaboration in all fields
of common interest.

VIEWPOINT
Oppression of Uyghur Muslims of East Turkistan
by: Imam Ali Siddiqui, 2017
Imam Ali Siddiqui is leading Islamic investigation of the
rights of Uyghur Muslims in China.
Chinese and Uyghur Muslims
Islam was introduced in China through the Silk Road by
Muslim merchants. Many Han people of China have accepted
Islam. First masjid was built in 996 AD in Beijing. During
the Emperor Kublai Khan (1260 to 1294), Islam flourished
more and large number of Han Chinese became Muslim and
established the Yuan dynasty in China. There had been many
Muslim living during the Yuan dynasty territory since Kublai
Khan. His successors were also tolerant of other religions.
During Chiang Kai-shek period, there were 18 governors who
were Muslims and Halal meat was commonly available across
the China. Han Muslims are now live in Beijing, Shanghai,
and Chengdu. They survived the Cultural Revolution waged by
Mao Zedong. They are prospering well. There are many masjids
including 16 women-only masjids which are organized and
administered by Muslim Women.
Uyghur Muslims of East Turkistan
Uyghur Muslims live in East Turkistan also known as Dogu
Turkistan. It is occupied by China. China has renamed the
area as Xinjian. Uyghur Muslims have been oppressed by the
CCCP, Central Chinese Communist Party. Islam was introduced
in Turkistan during the Khulfae Rashedoon era via Silk Road.
Its most historic town is Kashgar which is known in the
Muslim World for its scholarship, Madrasahs, and Islamic
architecture. Turkistan was invaded by Tsar and Imperial
China resulting in splitting the Turkistan and East
Turkistan is oppressed ever since.
East Turkistan is located strategically on the Silk Road
with Mongolia in the North, Kazakhstan in the North West,
China in the East, Kirghizstan and Tajikistan the West, and
Pakistan and Kashmir in the South
A Brief History of East Turkistan and Uyghur Muslims
Manchu Empire ruled China from 1644-1912 and they annexed
East Turkistan in 1759. Communist Part of China (CCCP)
invaded East Turkistan in 1912. Uyghur have been facing
oppression for about 256 years. Thousands of Uyghurs have
fled from East Turkistan creating a large diaspora in
Europe, Western Turkistan (Known with its 5 linguistic based
Socialist Republics), Turkey, Middle East, Afghanistan,
Pakistan, India, Australia, and even in China itself. Their
children and grandchildren still have some connection with
their motherland; however, they are also assimilating in
their new environment and societies.
Oppression and Persecution of Uyghur Muslims by Chines
Colonial Authorities
In the last few years young Uyghurs are forbidden to enter
masjids and madrassahs. Imams of masjids are humiliated and
forced to drink alcohol in front of Uyghur Muslims and to
dance in public. Muslim merchants are forced to open their
restaurants during Ramadan, offer alcohol, and pork dishes.
Shopkeepers are forced to sell alcohol, and pork. Fasting is
forbidden and Chinese authorities have employed special
trained dogs to find Muslims who are fasting and force them
to break their Fast with Alcohol. Possession of Quran is
also forbidden under the law and the Chinese Police is
raiding homes to pick up Qurans to destroy them. The
historical masjids, madrasahs, and mausoleums are bulldozed
to make malls, markets, offices, and apartments for Han
immigrants to East Turkistan. Han Chinese people are forced
to migrate to support Chinese mining of precious metals and
other projects including running businesses. Chinese
colonial authorities are changing the majority Uyghur
population into a minority.
Dilemma of Uyghurs
Uyghur are not able to organize any peaceful protest against
Chinese oppression and hard conditions. China declares any
protest as terror and arrests organizers and participants.
China is also exploiting US perpetual "War on Terror!" and
gets away from any International criticism. Most trading
nations have Trade Deficit with China and many trading
partners are also borrowing from China such as US. It has
discouraged them to speak up against China's atrocities in
East Turkistan against Uyghur Muslims.
China's new project "One Belt, One Road" is also allowing
China to get away from her crimes against Uyghur Muslims.
She has her neighbors such as Pakistan, Central Asian
nations, African nations are tied up in this project and
they cannot afford to criticize China.
Even some International Islamic Educational Institutions
such as Azher University, Cairo, are under China's pressure
and are letting Egyptian police arrest Uyghur students and
return them to China for persecution.

Medical Advantages of Sajda (Prostration)
Medical Advantages of Sajda (Prostration)
[With thanks to Sis. Yasmin.]
'And to Allah prostrates whoever is within the heavens and
the earth, willingly or by compulsion, and their shadows [as
well] in the mornings and the afternoons'.
{Source~ 'Quran' Surat Ar-Ra`d (The Thunder) ~
سورة
الرعد 13 A# 15.
'Sajda' (Prostration) is a unique position or stance in the
regular prayers, which a Muslim is supposed to offer at
least five (5) times a day. Although the basic purpose of
obligatory prayers is not to provide an exercise for people
yet it is being increasingly recognized that it has plenty
of medical advantages for the human body {!}
Here it is worth mentioning that Prophet Muhammed (peace be
upon him) has mentioned in a 'Hadith' in Ibn Maja...
' Prayer is a Cure for many Diseases'...
The position of 'Sajda' in which the forehead touches the
ground is exclusively associated with the
Muslim form of prayer.
In a Hadith narrated by Anas bin Malik (R.A.)
Prophet (peace be upon him) advised Muslims to perform
'Rukuu' (bowing) and 'Sajda' (Prostration) properly.
In another 'Hadith' he (peace be upon him) advised to
perform 'Sajda' (Prostration) and Bowing calmly and to get
up only when the body has come to ease.
Hence the first positive effect upon a person who prostrates
or does 'Sajda' (Prostration) is that he comes nearest to
Allah and hence in that condition he can supplicate.
Psychological advantage:
This is a great psychological advantage and it gives relief
to the person concerned as life is full of worries and in
this position he gets at least a transient refuge from
agonizing problems.
When a person goes to the position of 'Sajda' (Prostration)
his whole body is in active motion.
This position can be considered as a mini dive as the
'Musalli' (one who offers prayer) goes to rest his forehead
on the ground while his hands are placed at the sides.
This brings most of the body muscles if not all in active
motion and serves to give them some exercise. The hands are
then specifically stretched out and thence the forearm as
well as arm muscles are supposed to bear the weight in the
Sajda (Prostration) position.
It gives good exercise to the muscles of the upper limb.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) in a 'Hadith' advised us not
to put the forearms flatly on the ground but to keep them
elevated above ground and this is better for the forearm and
arm muscles.
Sajda (Prostration) is a unique position as this is the only
position in which brain (or head) becomes lower than the
heart and hence for the first time the blood gushes towards
the brain with full force...! whereas in all other
positions (even when lying) brain is above the heart when
it has to work against gravity to send blood to the brain.
In the position of 'Sajda' (Prostration) due to the
increased blood supply the brain receives more nourishment
and it has good effect upon memory, vision, hearing,
concentration, psyche and all other cognitive abilities
!
People who offer their prayers regularly have more will
power and can cope with the difficulties of life in a much
better manner.
They have less incidence of headaches, psychological
problems and other defects of cognitive function. In the
unique position of Sajda (Prostration) the neck muscles get
best exercise. They have to bear the load when the forehead
lies at the ground hence the neck muscles become stronger.
One can note the tense pressure at the neck muscles in the
position of Sajda (Prostration) specially the active motion
of the neck and the facial muscles when the head is being
lifted. (e.g. one inch above the ground) and it will be
noticed that they are in a very active motion.
More strong cervical muscles mean the cervical vertebra will
be better protected. Strength of cervical muscles is
important as the head rests upon cervical vertebra supported
by cervical musculature. In fact head performs rotator
movements over the cervical vertebra.
In any accident cervical neck examination is especially
important to the physicians because of its extraordinary
importance. It is uncommon that a person who offers his
prayers regularly will get the usual neck Myalgias or
cervical Spondylosis as the neck muscles particularly become
very strong due to the 'Sajdas' (Prostrations) offered
daily in five prayers...{!}
The unique position of 'Sajda' (Prostration) also has
positive effects upon the back muscles as while going into
Sajda and getting up from it the back muscle contract
actively and they become stronger. Probably it is because of
this reason that a person who is regular in prayers will
(rarely) get a backache.
Finally it must be reminded that (even though) prayer is not
meant to be an exercise, there are a lot of medical
advantages associated with it. Still the best blessing is
the peace of mind, which a person derives by the
accomplishment of his duty to Allah by fulfilling an
obligation.
