The Prophet, pbuh, sent Mu'adh to Yemen and said, "Invite
the people to testify that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ),
and if they obey you to do so, then teach them that Allah
has enjoined on them five prayers in every day and night (in
twenty-four hours), and if they obey you to do so, then
teach them that Allah has made it obligatory for them to pay
the Zakat from their property and it is to be taken from the
wealthy among them and given to the poor."

"DEMOCRACY NOT KUFRU", LEKKI IMAM
by Kabir Oyemomi
Nigerian situation seems to paint a much more complex
scenario around democracy and its branches.
Some Nigerian Islamic Scholars are strongly of the view that
democracy is a practice that is imposed by Western, foreign
and secular origin, and has nothing to do with Islamic
practices. Other scholars argue that democracy, voting and
even the concept of sovereignty on which much of an entire
edifice of democracy is built deny the fundamental Islamic
affirmation of the sovereignty of Allah, and is therefore a
form of idolatry.
For the later, the injunctions of Sharia and provisions of
the Constitution or any other law are quite parallel,and at
event of any conflict, the former prevails.
On Friday 15th of February (the supposed eve of general
election), the writer went out of his Lagos Mainland to
Lagos Island in quest of the view of other Imams. The chosen
mosque was Lekki Central Mosque. The Imam, Sheik Ridwan
Jamiu got the writer bewildered by unequivocally declaring
voting halal and responsibility of Muslims!
The Imam hinged his argument on the premises that choosing a
leader by democratic means is replicating Islamic shura
system, which allows for consultation and consensus for a
decision to be made.
He postulated that democracy is not Kufr and doesn't go
against Islam as long as it conforms with the aims of
Sharia, namely protection of Deen, protection of life,
Protection of property, protection of honor and dignity
.
The Imam therefore ,enjoyed the Muslims to go out in groups
and vote for candidates whom they feel have all good
characteristics and qualities of leadership without allowing
any form of inducement.
Editorial
Saudi Crown Prince: Why does Pakistan honor him? Look at his
ties with India. Look at his Crimes at home.
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD
The Saudi Crown Prince, MBS, received a huge welcome in
Pakistan.
There were two aspect of this welcome:
Political and national. The Crown Prince is seen as a
national ally.
The Saudi crown prince is seen as an Islamic leader,
protector the two holiest cities of Islam, Makka and
Madinah.
The first cause is dead wrong . The Crown Prince is a friend
of India, Pakistan's deadly enemy.
India has $28 billion bilateral trade with Saudi Arabia,
20% of India's crude oil supply comes from Saudi Arabia.
Saudi ARAMCO with UAE's ADNOC has entered a $44 billion
joint venture with India's Ratnagiri refinery and a
petrochemical project. [Source NDTV of India]
in 2016 PM Modi visited Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned the attack in Kashmir on
February 14 which killed at least 44 Indian troops.
Saudi Arabia said it stands firmly with India on this
issue.
Do Pakistanis not know that MBS is going to be in India on
February 19 and will discuss joint moves against "terrorism?"
About Islam, we know that KINGSHIP IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM.
Only Caliphate is allowed.
Saudi Arabia's internal security, at several billion
dollars, is in western hands.
The murder of Kashgoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Turkey
indicates that in Saudi Arabia there is NO PLACE FOR
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
The Saudis have admitted that the murder was committed by
the Crown Prince's INNER circle though they deny that he
himself ordered it/.
Wake up Pakistanis. Imran Khan is no friend of Islam. Even
the blasphemer was acquitted and Maulana Rizvi was
arrested.

Islamic Leader Warns India:
Brutalities in Kashmir could lead to Deadly War
by Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, Feb. 17; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has warned Indian Prime Minister Moodi and
Indian ary chief that if their country dared to attack
Pakistan, it would invite total destruction.
Every Pakistani is a live nuclear bomb against India and the
nation is fully prepared to repeat the history of Sultan
Mehmud Ghaznavi, Ahmed Shah Abdali, and Salahud Din Ayubi,
he declared while addressing a workers convention at Jhang.
JI chief for central Punjab, Amirul Azeem, also spoke on the
occasion.
" Moodi has so far heard only the talk of friendship by the
Pakistani rulers but he has not watched the fury of the
Pakistani people because of the brutalities of the Indian
troops in Held Kashmir", he added.
Sirajul Haq said it was high time that the world community
took notice of the brutalities of the Indian troops in held
Kashmir and the United Nations stepped forward to implement
its resolutions ensuring plebiscite in Kashmir, he added.
The JI chief said the present government was also following
the policies of the previous rulers and was least concerned
about solve the peoples' problems. The present rulers and
opposition were busy in a competition of abuses and
falsehood.
Sirajul Haq said it was not fit for a Muslim ruler to go
back on his word as the Quran and the Sunnah enjoined the
faithful to honour their pledge. He said if the rulers
wanted to take a U turn, they should withdraw the raise in
the prices and provide some relief to the people.,
He said that the problems facing the country and the nation
could be solved only with the enforcement of the Islamic
system. He said the JI was striving for the Nizam e Mustafa
and on coming to power, the JI would abolish the interest
based economic system and ensure equitable distribution of
the national resources. A uniform system of education and
health would be introduced for the rich and the poor. The
judiciary would decide cases in accordance with the Quranic
teachings. The aged citizens and the unemployed youth would
get special allowances.
