Hadith of the Week
Abu Musa Al-Ashari, r.a., reported:
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
"When the child of a servant dies, Allah says to the angels:
Have you taken the life of my servant's child? They say yes.
Allah says: Have you taken the fruit of his heart? They say
yes. Allah says: What has my servant said? They say: He has
praised you and said to Allah we belong and to Allah we
return. Allah says: Build a house for my servant in Paradise
and name it the House of Praise."

Somali American Ilham Omar switches to Israel after
winning..
Speaking last week at a candidates' forum at the Beth El
synagogue, she affirmed her belief in Israel's right to
exist and she said she opposed the Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions movement targeting Israel.
"It is going to be important for us to recognize Israel's
place in the Middle East and the Jewish people's rightful
place within that region," she said, according to a report .
"I believe right now with the BDS movement, it's not helpful
in getting that two-state solution," said Omar. "I think the
particular purpose for [BDS] is to make sure that there is
pressure, and I think that pressure really is counteractive.
Because in order for us to have a process of getting to a
two-state solution, people have to be willing to come to the
table and have a conversation about how that is going to be
possible and I think that stops the dialogue."
{She is replacing Keith Ellison who also started from a
synagogue. CAIR publicized Ellison as a FIRST Muslim.]
A confrontation by young members of Islamic movement of
Nigeria (IMN), a shia political movement has resulted in
untimely death of more than 10 people. According to Sahara
Reporters, it was clearly Shown by the video in its (Sahara
Reporters') possession that men believed to be Shia were
throwing stones at the Nigerian military, who then responded
with live fire.
The shia were reported to have been marching to Abuja on the
27th of October, 2018 in preparation for a shia religious
event called 'Arbean Symbolic Trek.' The marchers apparently
took a route that had not been approved by the security
services. In a press release, the military claimed, among
other things, that the troops. "escorting ammunitions and
missile from Abuja to Army central Ammunitions Depot in
Kaduna state were attacked by some members of the Islamic
Movement of Nigeria." The military spokesperson, Major James
Myam, also alleged that members of IMN procession "attempted
to overrun the escorts to cart away the ammunition and
missile the troops were escorting," and that marchers "
established an illegal road block, denying motorists free
passage".
The IMN three - day march that began in October in Abuja
included a call for freeing of Shia leader Ibrahim
el-zakzaky, who has been under house arrest for several
years.
The video of the October 27 confrontation, as well as
subsequent reports of action by the security services is
chilling because, according to Sahara Reporters, it clearly
shows how poorly trained the security personnel were, and
how willing they were to resort to the use of live
ammunition in the midst of marchers and otherwise innocent
bystanders.
While the government is urged to prevail on the military on
manners of handling matters with civilians, the Shia group
can prevent loss of lives if they try to be reasonable in
their ways of doing things.
Whenever there is an event by the Shia group in the Northern
part of Nigeria, nobody, including government officials, is
guaranteed free passage because they believed they are not
under the government and not govern by the laws of
Nigeria.
Activities of Shia during the Fatimiyah day can spell terror
on the people of Zaria, Kaduna State as it is characterized
by destroying of properties, rape, maim and all sort of
crimes. Many people believe that members Shia in Nigeria
were on the increase before 2015 due to grants by government
of Iran to the members.
It is also believed that young men and women were joining
Shia due to permissibility of Nikkah Muth'ah (brief marriage
transaction) by Shia.
Tanzania
How they rip off their own people!
On October 11, Mohammed Dewji was kidnaped in Dar as Salam,
the capital of Tanzania.
Forbes magazine puts Dewji's wealth at 1.5 billion dollars.
The family is offering $440,000 for information leading to
his release.
The government has arrested 20 people.
{Imagine a poor African country with a billionaire. How they
rip off their own people!]
Editorial
Jamaat al-Muslimeen's Shoora Committee needs your Support.
On December 1, a small but independent group of Islamic
activists will meet in Baltimore.
We discuss issues and try to come up with solutions.
The issues are the ones most American Muslim groups don't
discuss.
It's a group devoted to the Qur'an and Sunnah, focused on
uncompromising stances on Muslim outcomes.
Previously Jamaat has supported political prisoner and
women's rights, It has opposed Israel and the bombing and
occupation of Muslim countries.
Rumors Galore:
Pakistan is rife with rumors that the
blasphemer has been released iin blatant violation of the
agreement with the protestors.. Another rumor is that she
has not only been released but has been flown out of the
country.
The government countered by stating that she was still in
Pakistan and has been moved to a secure place.
[Read Jamaate Islami khutba below in that connection.]
Another rumor which the regime has not countered is that an
Israeli air liner landed in Pakistan, probably with
Netanyahoo visiting Pakistani generals. The Israeli had
visited Oman which is not far from Pakistan.
Another rumor has it that Dr. Aafia Siddiqui is about to be
released UNCONDITIONALLY from the US prison in Fort Worth,
Texas. This is quite sensible because her release would
remove some of the bitterness against Imran Khan.
Both parties in parliament, government and opposition, are
secular and want Blasphemer released.
by Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, Nov.9meer, Jamaat e Islami Pakistan, Senator Sirajul
Haq, has said it was astonishing that the political parties
which were at each other's throat and were dubbing one
another as thieves had ganged up in the parliament to
support the release of Aasia Masih detained on the charge of
blasphemy. He was addressing a large Friday congregation at
Mansoora mosque.
The JI chief noted that political parties which had never
accepted the decisions of the Supreme Court in the past
stood united to support the apex court verdict in Aasia
Masih's case to please the western powers. He said that the
nation would have to unite to protect the Islamic laws and
the constitution as the rulers were trying to let the huge
sacrifices made for the establishment of this Muslim
homeland, go waste.
Sirajul Haq said the nation was not satisfied with the
Supreme Court decision in Aasia Masih case, therefore, the
government should take necessary steps for a review of the
entire case and put Aasia's name on the ECL.
He said that the western world had always been giving VIP
treatment to the blasphemers while unfortunately, the rulers
of the Muslim world, instead of safeguarding the sanctity of
the Holy Prophet, tried to protect the blasphemers to earn
the goodwill of the west.
The JI chief said that love and respect of the holy Prophet
warranted the enforcement of the Shariah because till the
time the Islamic system was enforced in the country, the
Namoos of the beloved Prophet and the Islamic identity of
the country could not be protected.
Sirajul Haq directed the JI workers and office bearers to
organize Seerat meetings and conferences all over the
country during the month of Rabi ul Awwal and speed up their
movement for the enforcement of the Nizam e Mustafa.
Maryam Aurangzeb, speaking for PMLN gave a very precise and
critical speech undermining Imran Khan's position. Please go

Thought....
CAIR Supported by 101 American Congressmen
New Trend inquiry.
During the recent CAIR Banquet held in northern Virginia,
101 American lawmakers from the Democratic party sent
letters of congratulation and support to CAIR.
From reports around the country, CAIR appears to have
brought most of America's Muslim elites into clear support
for the American power structure. Here is the list of CAIR's
"achievements."
Mujahideen groups fighting America are terrorists.
Muslims must vote in elections to drive the assimilationist agenda.
CAIR does not support Palestine, particularly not Gaza.
Israel is a reality and must be accepted.
American Muslims must not support Hamas. Both Hamas and
Israel have supported violence.
CAIR supports ISNA which in turn supports the American power structure.
CAIR cannot speak against LGBTq..
CAIR cannot speak in support of prominent Muslim
political prisoners such as Aafia Siddiqui and Imam
Jamil.
Zionist critics of CAIR see CAIR as their competition for
the blessings of the American power structure. Zionists make
some moves against CAIR which deliberately [or foolishly]
drive upper class Muslims into the ranks of CAIR.
Zionists claim that CAIR is part of the Muslim Brotherhood.
However when the Brotherhood was slaughtered by General
Sissi in Egypt, CAIR didnt say a word.
Zionists claim that CAIR is a front for Hamas. This is
patently false because during THREE invasions of Gaza by
Israel, CAIR was silent.
[Years back one person linked to Hamas spoke one sentence in
support of Hamas and was later caught for money laundering
and imprisoned. This single instance is repeated by Zionists
to attack CAIR. It is so absurd that no American government
has accepted it.
Three Palestinians who had a fund for children in Palestine
were found to have a couple of Hamas brochures in their
office. The government supported by Zionists went after the
three of them, got them indicted and sentenced. There is no
evidence that they helped anyone in Hamas. They had links
with CAIR but CAIR abandoned them after they were
convicted.
New Trend's conclusion: CAIR is definitely not an Islamic
group. It has never supported an Islamic group in any way
anywhere in the world.
American Muslims should worry about the betrayal of Islam by
CAIR.
Instead Muslim elites are affected by Zionist propaganda and
have joined CAIR.

As Salaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuhu.
Courtesy~ Sis Yasmin. Etiquette of offering Greetings.
Allah~ the Exalted, says: "O you who believe! Enter not
houses other than your own, until you have asked permission
and greeted those in them.'' [Source~ 'Qur'aan'~
24:27]
"But when you enter the houses, greet one another with a
greeting from Allah (i.e., say: As-Salamu 'Alaikum - peace
be on you), blessed and good.'' [Source~ 'Qur'aan'~
24:61]
"When you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with
what is better than it, or (at least) return it equally.''
[Source~ 'Qur'aan'~ 4:86]
"Has the story reached you, of the honored guests [three
angels; Jibril (Gabriel) along with another two] of Ibrahim
(Abraham)? When they came in to him, and said, 'Salam (peace
be upon you)!' He answered: 'Salam (peace be upon you).''
[Source~ 'Qur'aan'~ 51:24,25]
Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'as (May Allah be pleased with
them) reported:
A man asked the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam):
"Which act in Islam is the best?'' He (sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam) replied~ "To give food, and to greet everyone,
whether you know or you do not.'' [Source~Al-Bukhari and
Muslim].
Commentary:
Feeding poor and destitute is an act of goodness, and so is
fulfilling the needs of the indigent. Greeting everybody
(saying 'As-Salamu 'Alaikum'), whether an acquaintance or a
stranger, is a good manner too. Both of these acts generate
mutual love and remove hatred and ill will from hearts. All
other forms of greetings do not no substitute for Islamic
greeting.
846. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)
reported:
The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said~
"When Allah created Adam (alaihi as-salam), He said to him:
'Go and greet that company of angels who are sitting there -
and then listen to what they are going to say in reply to
your greetings because that will be your greeting and your
off-spring's.
' Adam (alaihi as-salam) said to the angels: 'As-Salamu
'Alaikum (may you be safe from evil).'
"Assalaamu 'Alaikum" (May Peace be Upon you).
They replied: 'As-Salamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullah....
(may you be safe from evil, and Mercy of Allah be upon
you).....
"Assalaamu 'Alaikum" (May Peace be Upon you).
' Thus adding in reply to him: 'wa Rahmatullah (and Mercy of
Allah)' to his greeting.''
[Source~Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The Islamic form of greeting - As-Salamu 'Alaikum (may you
be safe from evil) - has been in existence since the days of
Prophet Adam. According to some Ahadith, it is better to add
in response: wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu (and the Mercy
and Blessings of Allah).
847. Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (May Allah be pleased with them)
reported:
The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam)
commanded us to do seven things:
to visit the sick, to follow the funeral (of a dead
believer), to invoke the Mercy of Allah upon one who sneezes
(i.e., by saying to him: Yarhamuk-Allah), to support the
weak, to help the oppressed, to promote the greeting of
'As-Salamu 'Alaikum', and to help those who swear to do
something to keep their oaths.
[Source~Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
Muslims have obligations towards one another. The
fulfillment of this social responsibility creates among them
mutual love, a sense of cohesion and feelings of respect for
one another.
848. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)
reported:
The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam)
said....
"By Him in Whose Hand is my life! You will not enter
'Jannah' until you believe, and you will not believe until
you love one another. Shall I inform you of something which,
if you do, you will love one another? Promote greetings
among yourselves.'' [Source~Muslim].
Commentary:
Iman (faith) is a prerequisite for entry to 'Jannah'.
Whereas mutual love among Muslims is complementary to it,
and this quality can only be attained by giving a social
character to the Islamic form of greeting, that is to say,
'As-Salamu 'Alaikum.'
849. 'Abdullah bin Salam (May Allah be pleased with him)
reported:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam) saying,
"O people, exchange greetings of peace (i.e., say: As-Salamu
'Alaikum to one another), feed people, strengthen the ties
of kinship, and be in prayer when others are asleep, you
will enter Jannah in peace.''
[Source~At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
All these habits and practices are indispensable to a
believer because each one of them leads to 'Jannah' with the
first people to enter it without being punished in Hell
first. At-Tufail bin Ubayy bin Ka'b (May Allah be pleased
with him) reported: I used to visit 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (May
Allah be pleased with them) in the morning and accompany him
to the market. 'Abdullah offered greetings of peace to every
one he met on the way, be they sellers of petty goods,
traders or poor people. One day when I came to him, he asked
me to accompany him to the market. I said to him: "What is
the point of your going to the market when you do not sell,
nor ask about articles, nor offer a price for them, nor sit
down with any company of people. Let us sit down here and
talk.'' He replied: "O Abu Batn (belly)! (Tufail had a large
belly), we go to the market to greet everyone we meet.''
[Source~Malik].
Commentary:
This Hadith highlights 'Abdullah bin 'Umar's passion for
promoting 'Salam' which is a practice of Sunnah. Secondly,
we can call a person by his
epithetic name provided he is not offended by it.
