I HAVE FORGIVEN THEM & BESTOWED WHAT THEY HAVE
ASKED'*~~*[Hadith Qudsi #14~]*---
From Sis. Yasmin
'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim'
Blessings from Allah and the angels when we worsjip
'Assalaamualaykum Wa Rahmatuallahi Wa Barakatahu'.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah ~(may Allah be pleased with
him) from
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who
said:
"Allah (glorified and exalted be He) has supernumerary
angels who rove about seeking out gatherings in which
Allah's name is being invoked:
They sit with them and fold their wings round each other,
filling in that which is between them and between the lowest
heaven.
When [the people in the gathering] depart,
[the angels] ascend and rise up to heaven."
The Prophet - (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
said:
"Then Allah (mighty and sublime be He)
asks them - [though] He is most knowing about them:
'From where have you come?'
And they say: 'We have come from some servants of Yours
on Earth:
they were glorifying You (Subhana llah),
exalting you (Allahu Akbar),
witnessing that There is no god but You (La ilaha illa
llah),
praising You (Al-Hamdu lillah),
and asking [favours] of You.'
He says:
'And what do they ask of Me?'
They say:
'They ask of You Your Paradise.'
He says: 'And have they seen My Paradise?'
They say: 'No, O Lord.'
He says: 'And how would it be were they to have seen My
Paradise!'
They say: 'And they ask protection of You.'
He says: 'From what do they ask protection of Me?'
They say: 'From Your Hell-fire, O Lord.'
He says:
'And have they seen My Hell-fire?'
They say: 'No.'
He says: 'And how would it be
were they to have seen My Hell-fire!'
They say: 'And they ask for Your
forgiveness.'"
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
said:
"Then He says: 'I have forgiven them and I have bestowed
upon them what they have asked for, and I have granted them
sanctuary from that from which they asked protection."
The Prophet - (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
said:
"They say: 'O Lord, among then is so-and-so, a much sinning
servant, who was merely passing by and sat down with them."
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"And He says:
'And to him [too] I have
given forgiveness: he who sits with such people shall not
suffer.'"

Far-right German politician converts to Islam
Arthur Wagner quits Alternative für Deutschland, which
campaigns on anti-Muslim ticket
Kate Connolly in Berlin

Last modified on Wed 24 Jan 2018 13.10 EST
A politician for Germany's far-right Alternative für
Deutschland party, which campaigns on an anti-Muslim ticket,
has converted to Islam and left the party, a spokesman has
confirmed.
Arthur Wagner, a leading member of the party in the eastern
German state of Brandenburg, said he would not comment on
his reason for leaving the party, but confirmed to a Berlin
daily that he had converted to Islam and that he had
renounced his party membership on 11 January.
"It is a private matter," he told Der Tagesspiegel, adding
that it had been his decision to leave.
A party spokesman said it had not been concerned by Wagner's
conversion, and also confirmed it had not pushed him to
leave. It claimed it had not known of his move when he
announced his departure.
"The party has no problem with it," said Daniel Friese, a
spokesman for the Brandenburg branch of the AfD. Being a
Muslim was no barrier to being a member of the party, he
said, despite the fact that among the party's campaign
slogans before September's general election were "Islam has
no place in Germany" and "Against the Islamisation of
Germany".
The party has been accused of stoking resentment towards the
hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees living in Germany.
"The AfD contains interest groups for Muslims, Christians
and homosexuals," Friese said.
Wagner, who formerly belonged to the Christian Democrats and
joined the AfD in 2015, is an active member of the
German-Russian community and the vice-chair of the regional
Russian-German committee. He has also acted as a translator
for refugees from Chechnya.
He is believed to be the first AfD member to have converted
to Islam after joining the party, although the party
spokesman said there were other Muslims within its
ranks.
The AfD was voted into the Bundestag for the first time last
September as the third largest party. If talks towards
forming a grand coalition government between Angela Merkel's
conservative alliance and the Social Democrats are
successful, the AfD would become the main opposition party
in the Bundestag, with the right to speak second in debates,
after a member of the government.
Wagner's case, although considered highly unusual, was being
compared by German media to that of Arnoud van Doorn, a
member of the Freedom party of the Dutch far-right
politician Geert Wilders, who was asked to leave the party
in 2013 when it emerged he had converted to Islam and
travelled to Saudi Arabia to perform the hajj.
A Second pillar of the Establishment goes down.
A few months after the release of Carlo Mattogno's thorough
critique of the various postwar "confessions" by former
Auschwitz Camp Commandant Rudolf Höss, we are proud to
present his next devastating critique of the statements made
by yet another key witness: Miklós Nyiszli. Carlo's
deconstruction of Nyiszli leaves no stone unturned, and no
stone standing:
An Auschwitz Doctor's Eyewitness Account
The Tall Tales of Dr. Mengele's Assistant Analyzed
By Carlo Mattogno and Miklós Nyiszli
$25.00/£20.00/€22.00
Everyone knows Dr. Josef Mengele, the evil Auschwitz doctor
who sent countless Jews to the gas chambers, performed
cruel, pointless medical experiments on inmates, and gave
twin research a bad reputation. But how do we "know" about
his many diabolical deeds?
The most important source for what Mengele is said to have
done at Auschwitz comes from the Hungarian Jew Miklós
Nyiszli, a forensic physician who claims to have been Dr.
Mengele's assistant at Auschwitz. In 1946, he published a
book about his traumatic experiences while he was at
Auschwitz. Over the years, his book has been translated into
all major languages of Europe. It has become one of the
mainstays of the orthodox Auschwitz narrative, right next to
the testimonies of other key witnesses, such as that of the
former Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss, or of Elie
Wiesel.
As influential as Nyiszli's book has been in forming the
world's opinion about Auschwitz, Nyiszli's various writings
have never been subjected to thorough critical scrutiny. The
present book changes this.
Part 1 of this book contains a faithful translation of the
original 1946 edition of Nyiszli's Hungarian book, while
Part 2 makes publicly accessible for the first time
essential excerpts of much-less known postwar texts by and
about Nyiszli.
Part 3 thoroughly scrutinizes Nyiszli's writings with what
we know to be true about Auschwitz from solid material facts
and authentic documentation, while Part 4 compares his
various claims with what other inmate doctors have stated
who were in a similar position at Auschwitz as Nyiszli
claims for himself.
Part 5 takes a critical look into how orthodox historians
have dealt with Nyiszli's texts, while a short essay in the
Appendix lays bare the mythical nature of the cliché of Dr.
Mengele as the "Angel of Death."
The author's conclusion is dispositive:
"Nyiszli was either an extraordinary impostor or a lunatic;
there is no escaping from the dilemma. And both horns of
this dilemma - shameless mendacity or lunacy - disqualify
Nyiszli and completely destroy his credibility."

The Black Panther Movie
A Balanced review ny al-Hajj Mauri Saalakhan
THE AAFIA FOUNDATION, INC.
8 Jumada Al-Akhira 1439 A.H.
Assalaamu Alaikum (Greetings of Peace):
This email contains a forwarded announcement of a 'Black
History Month' program scheduled for tomorrow in Richmond,
Virginia; in addition to a write up, and a link to a
Facebook Live 'Movie Review' on Black Panther.
My Thoughts on The Black Panther
(I've made a conscious attempt to construct my review of
Black Panther in such a way that, in shaa ALLAH, it
hopefully will not spoil the viewing experience for those
who have not yet seen the movie.)
One of the things I found distasteful about the movie was
the idol and ancestor worship. This aspect of the plot was
completely out of sinc with the image of a highly advanced
and technological society. I also found the ever so subtle,
but highly negative and prejudicial reference to Islam and
Muslims, at the beginning of the film, very distasteful.
While the idol and ancestor worship subplot could be
artistically justified by the movie makers arguing that they
wanted to stay true to the original Marvel comic book
storyline, the Boko-Haram style inclusion at the beginning
of the movie is another matter. I was reminded of an
observation made in a recent interview by one of the movie's
stars, Lupita Nyongo, who said: "Everything you see in this
film is deliberate, and is taken from actual cultures around
the continent..."
With that being the case, one is compelled to ask the
question, 'Who's idea was it to have that scene in the
movie, and what was its purpose?'
What I loved about the movie - in addition to the beautiful
cinematography, the riveting story line, and the superb
acting by a predominantly black cast (which included some
fiercely proud, intelligent, and strong black women) - was
the emphasis placed on respect for the elders, family, and
tradition.
One of my favorite lines in the movie was: "A man who has
not prepared his children for his own death has failed as a
father."
I also loved the fact that this mythical African country was
a hidden jewel of technological excellence. Also interesting
to see was the seductive role that tribalism, nationalism,
and gangsterism played in the movie. And there was more than
a bit of irony to the movie's plot line. While the movie
began with a momentary scene that could be described as an
Islamophobic slur, Islamic themes ran throughout the
movie!
The central plot of the story reminds us of how important
niyah (intention) is in the actions that we take (both good
actions and wrong actions); the importance of mercy and
forgiveness in the healing process; and the eternal truth
that, "Power [devoid of justice] corrupts; and absolute
power corrupts absolutely."
I loved the way it ended, with a message of universality and
challenge...and with an obvious indication of a sequel in
the making.
All who see this movie - especially people of African
descent - would be wise to extract the positive messages
contained therein, and to build upon them. For Africans and
African Americans this movie provides an excellent
opportunity to help our communities (with what could be
termed psychological humanitarian relief work); for Muslims
it provides an excellent opportunity for da'wah.
I highly recommend the movie for people of all ages, and
people of all cultures!

PAKISTAN
Military is Out of Control.
It has again been established that Pakistan Army is not
controlled by the Government of Pakistan. It is an
independent Army serving the cause that is considered best
by the Army hierarchy. Will the parliament take action?
Certainly not. PML {N} Government supports Army's supremacy.
Every political leader supports the status quo. The status
quo is that Pakistan Army can do what it likes and the
Government will keep silent. Pakistan Army's criminal
activities are ignored. Criminal activities of Pakistan Army
are allowing US to kill and murder civilian by using drones.
Pakistan Military also carries Military operations in
Northern Pakistan resulting in destruction of villages and
murder of civilians. As a result, there are now refugees
which are wrongly referred as IDPs {Internally Displaced
Persons] Displaced person. Some 95,000 families are
internally displaced and struggling in North Waziristan amid
Operation Zarb-e-Azb.
In short, the
government and the Army are serving the interest of USA. In
other words, their actions can be termed as those of
traitors of Pakistan. It is imperative that Pakistanis
should come on the streets and the slogan should be NO TO
AMERICA and PAK ARMY SHOULD RETURN TO THE BARRACKS.

Regime Retreating
Regime forces are retreating from Kirkuk province after an
ambush in which ISIS killed many regime troops.[Regime
admitted 27 killed.] There is widespread panic as IS
advances,
Regime has sentenced 15 women to death. They are Turkish and
were helping the Caliphate.
US air strikes on IS continue. In one strike, an associate
of al-Baghdadi was killed.
IS has issued a video of a martyrdom attack like it used to
do
Syria
5 Days of
Bombing in Damascus Suburbs,
Idlib bombed at random .
Turkey-FSA Advances.
The suburbs of Damascus have never seen such bombing in the
entire war.
Bombs and missiles struck at the people of the suburbs of
Damascus. Even the western powers were shocked and passed a
Security Council resolution urging cease fire,
After the pause, the regime, Russians and Iranians struck
again.
However when the regime tried to move in FSA, Jaysh al-Islam
and others came out and stopped the shia advance. A
brilliant defense, observers say, and the slaughter of the
innocents did not help Assad.
3000 killed by Assad, including 300 children and 250
women
IDLIB province too is being bombed but al-Nusra, Turkestan
and other groups are so well entrenched there, they often
fight each other.
TURKEY and FSA are advancing and have taken 52 villages from
the Communist Kurds. Turkey now has a 132 km strip along the
Syrian border.
ISIS is well established in northern Homs province, north
eastern Hama province, bits of Deir ez Zor and the 250
square km in the control of Jaysh Khalid ibn al-Waleed [IS
affiliate]. and a a little bit of Hasakeh province in the
north east of Syria, [Source SOHR].

Slightly Funny!
a Community Association meeting glad I attended
by Sis. Ashira Naim
It rained most of the day and I was tempted to go home.
Instead I regrouped and went on to the community meeting for
my area. When I arrived about 15 minutes into the meeting
time the participants where enjoying the refreshments of
Pizza and salad .Pretty soon after my arrival the meeting
was called to order.
This was the first meeting for me and I was not certain what
the agenda was so I listened attentively. It soon became
clear that the purpose of the meeting was to plan another
meeting and the participants were making suggestions for the
agenda which included who would be invited to speak because
the next meeting would include all of the community
associations in the Northeast area the date of the meeting
May 17th and the invited speakers from the larger community
would include the department of Housing an d Community
Development, Department of Public Works, the police
department representative, someone from the mayor's office.
There was lots of discussion about what needed to be
corrected in the community in so far as crime and trash in
the streets and on the sidewalks.
In an effort to keep our meeting in tune with the youth who
are demonstrating their disgust and determination regarding
the same crime of murders by angry/irresponsible people with
guns I asked the group if this concern that we are
expressing overlaps with the same that is being expressed by
the youth. This question brought about a lot more discussion
in a more forceful show of concern and it was agreed that
there is indeed an overlap. As a result I have been asked to
formulate a resolution to be edited and approved by the
president of the association. This resolution would then be
presented at the May 17th meeting. I'm glad I attended
because I found that there are others who feel the way i
do.
Khutba in Baltimore February 23
What Makes a
real Muslim in the example of Muhammad, pbuh?
Emphasis on "internal" vs "external" is dividing us.
On February 23, Br. Kaukab Siddique gave the juma' khutba at
Masjid Jamaat al-Muslimeen.
Here is an outline of the khutba:
Muslims are supposed to be a universal
brotherhood/sisterhood, united and strong like one solid
structure.
They have become divided over a period of 1400 years
owing to steady mixtures of alien influences as they became
a global ummah.
Owing to oppression by tyrants and kings, many Muslims
became intraverted. They do many things which are Islamic,
such as DIKR, DU'As extra NAWAFIL, extra fasts. All these
are wonderful but they do not make them complete Muslims.
When the enemy strikes, they are easily defeated and often
actually cooperate with the enemy in the false belief that
their piety will make the enemy kind to them. Jihad is
ordained in every big sura of the Qur'an but they are
totally disoriened from it.
They think jihad means violence but they end up not
opposing the enemy at all. The Qur'an and hadith teach many
ways of opposing the enemy other than violence. THe entire
life of Muhammad, pbuh, in Makka was total non-cooperation
and clear opposition to the kuffar but we have started
thinking that his, pbuh, life in Makka was only du'a and
zikr.
On the other side are the externalists who think armed
struggle is the only way. They emphasize the beard, the
hijab, the rules of formal prayer. They put up a great fight
against the enemy but they are so harsh and merciless that
the enemy'a propaganda isolates them from the global ummah.
The propaganda of the enemy is widespread and often
sophisticated. The ummah itself starts thinking that that
those who are giving their lives for Islam are "extremists".
Thus the Muslims end up fighting each other.
RIGHTS OF WOMEN are central to Islam. The husband must let
her go with gifts, Or she can get KHULA without giving ANY
reason for ending the marriage.The great sahaba, r.a., gave
KHULA on the basis of incompatibility. The Saudis have
claimed the husband must agree to the KHULA, There is no
basis in Islam for the Saudi claim
In Pakistan, a top Muslim leader has married a woman who
took khula from her husband
May Allah help us to study the Qur'an with hadith There is
no Islam without Hadith.
