Do we Recognize the Path to Paradise and the Path to Hellfire?
Are we Willing & Able to Walk Through the Adversity that Surrounds Paradise?
Abu Huraira reported:
The Messenger of Allah,
peace and blessings be upon him, said:
"When Allah created Paradise and Hellfire, he sent Gabriel
to Paradise saying: Behold it and what I have prepared
therein for its people. Gabriel came and looked at it and
what Allah had prepared therein for its people. He returned
to Allah and he said: By your might, no one will hear of it
but that he will enter it. Allah ordered that it be
surrounded by adversity and he said: Return to it and behold
what I have prepared therein for its people. Gabriel
returned and found that it was surrounded by hardship. He
returned to Allah and he said: By your might, I fear that no
one will enter it. Allah said: Go to the Hellfire and behold
it and what I have prepared therein for its people. Gabriel
found that it was in layers, one above another. He returned
to Allah and he said: By your might, no one who hears of it
will enter it. Allah ordered that it be surrounded by
desires and he said: Return to it. Gabriel returned and he
said: By your might, I fear that no one will escape it."
Q. Ali ibn Abi Talib, r.a., was a Shia. True or false? Ans: False
Q. Hasan & Hussain ibn Ali, r.a., were Shias? True or
false? Ans: False.
Q. Hussain, r.a., would have supported the regime of Bashar
al-Assad in Syria. True or false? Ans: False
Q. Ali, r.a., hated Umar, r.a., True or false? Ans. False.
Shiaism has nothing to do with Ali, Hasan or Hussain, may
Allah be pleased with them. They were all good Muslims and
great admirers of Abu Bakr, r.a., Umar, r.a., Usman, r.a.
Brothers can differ but that does not mean they hate or
oppose each other.
Umar, r.a., was so close to Ali, r.a., that he married
Ali',s r.a., daughter.
The Shia support for Syria's tyrant Bashar al-Assad is
unthinkable for any Muslim. It is downright kufr for anyone
to support the mass murderer of innocent Muslim
children.

being driven by powerful gusts of wind.
The crowd at the local mosque was down to about half its
usual number.
However the ones who were there were receptive.

According to the Middle East Eye of March 1 and 2, the major
cultural event of the island known as the Carnival, was
under a threat of attack by ISIS. This was nothing more than
a rumor. Strict security measures were taken based on
specific fact that ISIS is very popular among the young
people, and nearly 100 of them have left to join ISIS.
However, the rumor was made into a "fact" by CNN when it
claimed that an actual attempted attack by ISIS was thwarted
by 'the brave soldiers with the US Army in alliance with the
local forces" and the major plotters had been arrested.
However, the story turned out to be fake. And all those
arrested on suspicion have been released. This release is
seen as "egg in the face" of the government for spreading
fear of a major threat that was fake.

The Right To Free Speech Denied Another Year ?
by Br. Luqman
It is now 2018 and our brother is still being held. Another
President has gone without lifting a hand to review, repeal
and free our Imam, Brother, Father and friend. More so is
the fact that he Imam Jamil Al-Amin (H.Rap Brown) is to this
day still under an inforced gag order preventing interviews,
media, and reporters those who seek to report his words and
views. What and who are they afraid of? Why not allow the
people to hear from this man one of the last true reformers
and activist for truth, equality, and human rights. Why is
his first amendment right to speech denied?

Invitation to Think
Conspiracy Theories Break Muslim Unity.
How to defeat the Theorists?
By New Trend's Media Monitor
When you hear a news report, look for evidence.
Does the report give date, place and specific numbers. Who
is reporting it and can it be verified.
Remember that the world's most powerful forces are working
in coordination against Islam and Muslims.
Among the leading propagandists are:
Russia
USA
Israel
Iran
India
France
UK
All of them have propaganda outlets and affiliants.
How can you spot propaganda against Mjuslims?
It will be least intense against Muslims who are not
fighting against any of the 7 countries listed above.
For instance, you won't find propaganda against
Tablighi Jamaat
A little more against Jamaate Islami.
Much stronger against mujahideen groups like al-Nusra,
al-Shabab, Boko Haram, mujahideen groups in Kashmir.
Most intense against those who grab land and power and want
to retaliate against the West: ISIS.
Notice that the slaughter of thousands of civilians by the
Shi'ites in towns around Damascus and in Aleppo have not
brought any serious attempt to stop the atrocities. Entire
cities supporting ISIS like Mosul and al-Raqqa have been
destroyed by the Americans.
India has the LARGEST occupation army in Kashmir. No
stirrings of conscience in the West.
Afghanistan has been bombed for 16 years by NATO. Any outcry
to stop it? Very limited.
Boko Haram are presented as brutal monsters though human
rights organizations have repeatedly pointed out that they
are the victims of extreme atrocities by army supported by
the West.
Al-Shabab have repeatedly captured most of Somalia but each
time surrogates of the West like Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda
militarily intervene to stop the establishment of an Islamic
State.
The media and intelligence agencies of these 7 powers make
it almost impossible for the Muslim ummah to unite.
Photo shop and technology are used to demonize Muslim
leaders.
Let us study the Qur;an and hadith and figure out how we can
determine what is going on and how to change it.
PAKISTAN
Government should seek the cooperation of Saudi Arabia and
Turkey for ending the bloodletting in Syria.
LAHORE, Mar. 2: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has called upon the government to seek the
cooperation of Saudi Arabia and Turkey for ending the
bloodletting in Syria.
Addressing a huge Friday congregation at Mansoora mosque, he
said there were reports that people from Pakistan were also
involved in the killing of the Syrians. He said it was the
responsibility of the government to investigate the matter
and if the reports were correct, ban their going abroad.
Sirajul Haq said that Russia , with the support of Basharal
Asad, had massacred hundreds of thousands of Syrians. He
said that hell had been let loose on the Syrians but there
was silence of the graveyard in the Muslim world while some
Muslim rulers stood with the US. He said that the enemies
within the Muslims were a far bigger threat to the
Ummah.
The JI chief said that Pakistan's foreign policy was a
complete failure as the country's was being listed grey for
allegedly supporting the terrorists. Even the country's old
friends, Saudi Arabia and China were not supporting us.
He said that the differences among the Muslim rulers and the
political leaders were not for the cause of the Ummah but
only for selfish interests. Had these rulers been sincere
for the Ummah, the bloodshed of the Muslims in Kashmir,
Palestine, Syria and Burma would not have been going on.
The JI chief slated the Foreign Minister's statement
regarding the listing of the country among grey countries
and termed it as highly irresponsible.
Sirajul Haq condemned the fresh raise in the POL prices, and
said it was totally unjustified as the country was not a
facing a war situation and there had not been any increase
in the POL prices in the world market. He said, during the
last six months, the POL prices had been raised by Rs. 20
per liter due to which the prices of the day to day
commodities had increased considerably.
He said that the rulers were taking planeload of their
friends and cronies on foreign visits and purchasing costly
gifts there. He said the system of exploitation must come to
an end.
He said that the situation in the field of education was
worst as He said that on the average, the country was
spending Rs. 55 thousand on each child but the quality of
education remained too low due to which the future of the
youth was at stake.

Damascus
Regime troops try to advance under cover of intense bombing
and missile attacks on six towns held by the Islamic
opposition on the outskirts of Damascus. However, the
advance was repulsed by fighters of Jaysh al-Islam and other
mujahadeen groups after heavy fighting in the forests
surrounding the towns.
SOHR reports that between Feb 25 and March 4, the bombing by
the regime, the Russians, the Iranians, and other Shia
groups, has killed 662 civilians, including 154 children and
95 women.
However, a United Nations supported cease fire to allow
citizens to leave failed because none of the civilians
wanted to leave. In addition to the dead, more than 3,600
civilians including hundreds of children and women have been
injurred, some with permanent disabilities. The bodies of
many others are still under the rubble.
Hama and Idlib.

Our Relationship with Allah
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah~
(may Allah be pleased with him)~ who said that the Messenger
of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
said:
'ALLAH Almighty has said... 'The son of Adam Denied ME and
he had no right to do so. And he Reviled ME and he had no
right to do so. As for his Denying ME- it is his saying...
'HE will not remake me as HE made me at first ' {i.e.~ bring
me back to life after death...} and the initial creation of
his... is no easier for ME than remaking him {!} As for his
Reviling ME, it is his saying... 'ALLAH has taken to Himself
a son,' while I am the One, the Everlasting Refuge...{!} ' I
Begot not nor was I Begotten, and there is None Comparable
to ME !'
