Abu Huraira, r.a., reported: The Prophet, peace and
blessings be upon him, came to his companions while they
were laughing, and the Prophet said:
By the one in whose hand is my soul, if you knew what I
knew, you would laugh little and weep often.
The Prophet departed and the people started weeping, so
Allah Almighty revealed to him:
O Muhammad, why have you made my servants despair?
The Prophet returned and he said:
Give glad tidings, follow the right course, and seek
nearness to Allah.

ICNA Mosque
ICNA: No Issue except Collection of Funds.
On June 14, Jamaat al-Muslimeen activists gave out a 5-page
Jamaat document to 35 Muslims after Juma salat.
ICNA's mosque is hidden in suburbia, within the convolutions
of rich people's homes in a section of well -to- do
Alexandria.
The khutba was so pointless that it outdid the Sajudi khutba
which Sis. Nadrat has criticized.
The only thing of importance to ICNA is the collection of
funds. A very large banner proclaimed:
ICNA RELIEF.
This group which began as an Islamic group is now merely a
charitable and picnic group which makes young people feel
that they are doing something for Islam.
The only time they were challenged was when five young men
from this community decided to
go to Pakistan to help the families of injured Taliban. ICNA
reported their departure to CAIR and CAIR reported to the
FBI. The five were arrested in Pakistan and the regime there
treated them as supporters of terrorism. They were
"tried" within the prison and disappeared from the public
eye.
Here is an outline of the five- page document given to 35
people at the ICNA masjid:

Warnings of Effort to 'Maneuver the US Into a War' as Trump
Officials Rush to Blame Iran for Attacks on Gulf Tankers
Jake Johnson - Common Dreams
As Trump administration officials rushed to blame Iran for
the reported attacks on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman
on Thursday, the timing and apparent target of the
explosions immediately prompted warnings that they may have
been part of a deliberate effort to provoke a war between
the U.S. and Iran. The alleged attacks, which set a
Japanese-owned tanker ablaze, came as Japan's Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe met with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei in an attempt to reduce dangerous military tensions
between the Iran and the U.S ... According to Iran's Islamic
Republic News Agency (IRNA), an Iranian rescue vessel picked
up 44 sailors and brought them to safety following the
tanker explosions. It is unclear how much damage was done to
the tankers or whether anyone was harmed by the reported
attacks.
Muslims and Hitler. He was not our Enemy.
Shocking Facts revealed by Research.
Palestine, Stalingrad, Berlin
Book: Islam and Nazi Germany's War
by David Motadel
Belknap Press, 2017
It might come as a shock to the reader that "six Muslim
battalions" took part in the defense in Berlin in 1945, near
the end of the war, when many Germans saw no hope.
Even in the hopeless defense of Stalingrad, "three Muslim
battalions" stood their ground.
As can be expected, the writer hates Hitler and the Third
Reich and despises Muslims. However it is a research work
and he brings out numerous facts which are unknown to most
people.
The purpose of the book seems to be support the claim that
Germany was simply using Muslims and that other western
countries have tried to do the same. However the writer's
own research undermines the claims he wants to make. The
facts speak for themselves.
It is true that Britain and France used Muslims to fight
Germany. However these were mercenaries and ordinary
soldiers working for pay. By contrast, the Muslims fighting
for Germany were highly motivated and truly beiieved that
with the help of Germany, they could undermine, or at least
weaken the Soviet, French and British empires. Evidently
they succeeded to some extent.
As the war proceeded Hitler was betrayed by most of the
people he trusted. The only people he trusted to the end and
who never betrayed him were the Muslims.
Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Palestine, was highly
regarded by Hitler and garnered international Muslim support
for Germany. Thus Germany was the first and only European
country which supported Palestine with no strings
attached.
There are numerous quotes in the book from Hitler and his
closest associates in praise of Muslim fighting abilities,
their trustworthiness and their faith. There are also
indications that ordinary Germans often did not like
Muslims. However the seeds of trust were sown by the German
leaders. It should be no surprise that Germany today is
willing to take in 500,000 Muslim refugees from Syria, Iraq,
Afghanistan and African countries.
Editorial
Sufism Has Undermined the Islamic Message by Emphasizing
Intercessors.
Sufis are Praying for the Dead Ignoring the Living.
By Kaukab Siddique
[Continued from New Trend's June 9 issue.]
Allah Almighty created equality for the believers by
teaching that every believer can pray directly to Allah. All
he or she has to do is
to raise the hands and say : O Allah and then plead for
needs and wishes. Islam not only removed priesthood but also
the limits
of space and structures.:
"It was We Who created man, and We know what dark
suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to hm
than his jugular vein."
[The Qur'an 50:16.]
A Muslim does not have to go to anyone to get sins forgiven
or to seek repentance.. Allah is there for all of us:
"The revelation of this Book is from Allah, Exalted in
Power, full of Knowledge Who forgives sin, accepts
repentance, strict in punishment, and has a long reach in
all things. There is no god but He. To Him is the final
goal. [40:2-3.]
The believers' relationship is directly with Allah. There is
no intercessor. Anyone who wants intermediaries is involved
in the deadly sin of SHIRK.:
"When My servants ask you concerning Me, I am indeed close
to them. I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he
calls on Me.: Let them also, with a will listen to My call,
and believe in Me: that they may walk in the right way."
[2:186.]
Education, teaching, learning, self-improvement,
self-purification, obligatory prayers, fasting are all
important but these are
all means to an end,which is direct worship of Allah.
If the individual initiative is taken away, the personal
connection is taken away, then we are left with waiting for
saviors,
hoping that the Mahdi will come, or our leader or imam will
save us from hell fire.
Muslims are constantly waiting for someone else to solve
their problems. When the mujahideen rise up, we just
watch.
Muslims are easily recruited by the unbelievers. As long as
they can pray and "make du'a" they do not follow the
commands of Allah.
In America, things have come to such a pass that Muslims are
working for the Pentagon and the FBI. In fact prayers are
held in these facilities.
When the British conquered India, a British general heard
the adhan and asked his Muslim collaborator, what is the
muezzin saying. He was told that he s saying: God is the
greatest. The British general was upset and said:
This is rebellion.The British monarch is the greatest.
His "Muslim" friend said: Don't worry: The mullah does not
understand what Allahu Akbar really means.
PAKISTAN
Polite but Rigorous Critique of Imran Khan Regime
by Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, June 13; Deputy chief of the Jamaat e Islami, Liaqat
Baloch, has said that the progress, prosperity and stability
of Pakistan lies in the adoption of the Islamic system,
justice, elimination of corruption and equitable
distribution of the country's resources. He was talking to
the delegations of the Ulema from Sindh and Balochistan at
Mansoora.
He said that the next year budget was steeped in huge loans,
interest and gratis and would increase poverty, price hike,
unemployment and anarchy. He said that loan based economy
was a curse while self reliance would restore the country's
image.
The JI deputy chief said that immediately after the
presentation of the budget,
The prices of sugar, ghee, pulses and chicken had gone up
and the common man had been crushed. He said that the
increase in the electricity tariff and gas price would serve
as the last straw for the destruction of the country's
economy.
Commenting on the enquiry commission for the loans, Liaqat
Baloch said that the commission should cover all the civil
and military governments of the past. He further said that
the ratio of loans secured by the PTI government during the
last ten months was higher as compared to the past and the
commission should also probe into it. Besides, he said, the
commission should comprise of high level judicial figures
and not of the representatives of the state
institutions,

by Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, June 13; Secretary General, Jamaat e Islami, Amirul
Azeem, has in a message on World Child Day, said that while
the day was formally observed in the country , around twenty
million children were forced to do child labour and they did
not enjoy any protection or security at the official
level.
He said the government made tall claims of spreading
education whereas the fact remained that fifteen million
children were out of the schools which caused them get
involved in crimes.
Amirul Azeem said that what to talk of the State of Madina,
the country was not providing any protection to the women
and children as a second or third rate state as all state
institution remained totally indifferent in this respect. He
further said that Pakistan was at number three as for
unemployment was concerned.
He said the situation was alarming and a national enquiry
commission should be set up to work out the mechanism to
deal with the problem. He said the commission should include
the government , the opposition and other stake holders.

Breaking News: Pakistan
Huge Jamaat e Islami rally Against Rising Prices and Imran
Khan's Surrender to IMF.
by Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, June 16; Addressing thousands of people joining
Jamaat e Islami's Awami march against price spiral,
unemployment and IMF slavery at the Shahrah e Quaid e Azam,
Ameer, JIP, Senator Sirajul Haq, announced that the party
would hold such marches in all big cities of the
country.
He said the government had removed elected Finance Minister
Asad Umar , inducted an IMF agent in his place and handed
over to him the keys of the public exchequer as well.
Thousands of women and children also joined the march which
began from the Masjid e Shuhada and terminated at Chairing
cross where the JI leaders addressed the crowd. The
participants carried banners condemning the unending price
spiral, ever increasing unemployment and the government
decisions placing the homeland in IMF slavery.
JI Secretary General Amirul Azeem, JI deputy chiefs Dr Farid
Ahmed Piracha and Abdul Ghaffar Aziz, were also present. JI
Lahore chief Zikrullah Mujahid also addressed.
Sirajul Haq said that next year,s budget had resulted in
the rise in the prices of essential items, including pulses,
Atta, sugar, cement and cooking oil and multiplied the
miseries of the common man. The prices of medicines had also
increased tremendously.
He said the JI could not remain silent on the indifference
of the government to the hardships of the masses. It would
organize the nation against injustice and oppression and
launch a full-fledged movement for this purpose. He said the
next Awami march would be held at Faisalabad on June 23.
He however said the objective of the JI movement was to free
the masses from the oppressive price hike and the IMF
slavery and it would not join any campaign aiming at
securing the release of people put into jails.
Sirajul Haq said that out of next year's budget, a huge sum
of Rs. 2828 billion would go to the payment of interest on
loans. He said the real objective was to put the country
into chains through heavy loans and then to usurp its
independence.
He said the Prime Minister had said that governing the
country was not much difficult. He said if the Prime
Minister was aware of the hardships of the masses,
especially hunger and poverty, he would not have uttered
these words.
The JI chief said that the Prime Minister after assuming his
office, had promised that he would not tell a lie to the
nation. But now he was taking U- turn on every issue. Again,
he said that Imran Khan had also said that begging from the
IMF was tantamount to suicide but now he had placed the
economic system and the public exchequer at the hands of the
IMF.
The Prime Minister, he said, had talked of the Madina state
but now he was even uttering objectionable remarks about the
Sahaba of the holy Prophet ( PBUH)
He said that the government had also raised the expenses for
Hajj and Umrah.
Invitation to Think
[How dare you critique Einstein! [Yes he does!]
Inconvenient History
Albert Einstein: Time Magazine's Undeserving Person of the Century
By John Wear
In 1999 Albert Einstein was named Time Magazine's person of
the 20th century.[1] This article will discuss whether
Einstein deserved this award.
Physicist. Albert Einstein is regarded by many people as the
greatest physicist of the 20th century.[2] His unique
contributions are said to have revolutionized physics.
However, many physicists dispute the revolutionary nature of
Einstein's discoveries. Physicist Frank J. Tipler
writes:
Most physicists now recognize that Einstein's theory of
relativity is not a revolutionary theory at all but a
completion of classical physics. Einstein's most subtle
biographer, Abraham Pais, has conceded this, but also
maintained that Einstein's invention of quantum mechanics,
in his 1905 paper on the photoelectric effect, was still
revolutionary.
I disagree. Einstein's invention of quantum mechanics was,
once again, a conservative innovation-conservative in the
traditional sense of preserving the classical structure of
Newtonian physics."[3]
Christopher Jon Bjerknes accuses Einstein of plagiarism.
Bjerknes writes:
Many people knew that Einstein did not hold priority for
much of what he wrote. He, himself, was keenly aware of it.
It is not uncommon for grandiose myths to accrue to overly
idealized popular figures, such as Albert Einstein.
Theoretical Physics, as a field, was small, and not well
known in the period from 1905-1919. Theoretical physicists
were not well known, and, since those in the field knew that
Einstein was a plagiarist, they largely ignored
him...Einstein evinced a career-long pattern of publishing
"novel" theories and formulae after others had already
published similar words, then claimed priority for himself.
He did it with E = mc². He did it with the so-called special
theory of relativity and he did it with the general theory
of relativity.[4]
While I don't understand physics well enough to know if
Bjerknes's analysis is accurate, it is certain that many
physicists had little regard for Einstein in his later
years. Robert Oppenheimer, for example, visited the
Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in January 1935.
In a letter to his brother Frank, Oppenheimer conveyed his
reaction to the occupants of Fine Hall at Princeton:
"Princeton is a madhouse: its solipsistic luminaries shining
in separate & helpless desolation. Einstein is completely
cuckoo..."[5]
Oppenheimer also said in private that Einstein had no
understanding of or interest in modern physics, and that
Einstein had been wasting his time trying to unify
gravitation and electromagnetism.[6]
Physicist Freeman Dyson was a colleague of Einstein's from
1948 to 1955 at the Institute for Advanced Study in
Princeton. Dyson had a strong desire to meet and know
Einstein when he arrived at the Institute. However, after
reading Einstein's recent scientific papers, Dyson decided
they were junk. Dyson spent the next seven years avoiding
Einstein so that he would not have to tell Einstein his work
was junk.[7]
Physicist David Bodanis writes about Einstein's later years:
"Einstein's peers regarded him as a has-been. Even many of
his closest friends no longer took his ideas
seriously.[8]
Einstein Supported Zionism
In an article published in the November 26, 1938 edition of
Collier's magazine, Albert Einstein explained how the social
creed and morality inbred in most Jews, which he attempted
to live by, was part of a long and proud tradition. Einstein
wrote: "The bond that has united the Jews for thousands of
years and that unites them today is, above all, the
democratic ideal of social justice coupled with the ideal of
mutual aid and tolerance among all men."[9] Einstein later
wrote that Karl Marx lived and sacrificed himself for the
ideal of social justice.[10]
Einstein wrote about the Jewish tradition: "The pursuit of
knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of
justice, and the desire for personal independence-these are
the features of the Jewish tradition which make me thank my
stars that I belong to it."[11]
Einstein came to embrace the cause of Zionism. He wrote to a
friend in October 1919: "One can be an internationalist
without being indifferent to members of one's tribe. The
Zionist cause is very close to my heart...I am glad that
there should be a little patch of earth on which our kindred
brethren are not considered aliens." Einstein further
declared: "I am, as a human being, an opponent of
nationalism. But as a Jew, I am from today a supporter of
the Zionist effort."[12]
Einstein worked hard to promote Zionism and to establish the
Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He wrote to German/Jewish
chemist Fritz Haber:
Despite my emphatic internationalist beliefs, I have always
felt an obligation to stand up for my persecuted and morally
oppressed tribal companions. The prospect of establishing a
Jewish university fills me with particular joy, having
recently seen countless instances of perfidious and
uncharitable treatment of splendid young Jews with attempts
to deny their chances of education.[13]

Battle for Senate Presidency, Speakership: NSCIA replies to
CAN
The demand for religious balancing in the election and
appointment of the leadership of the 9th National Assembly
by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has been
criticised by its Muslim counterpart- the Nigerian Supreme
Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA).
The Muslim group in a statement signed by its Deputy
Secretary-General, Salisu Shehu, described CAN's call as
indecorous, ill-advised, ill-motivated and only aimed at
polarising the country.
It said that it doubted the sincerity of the religious body
and suggested that based on its recent interventions in the
nation's political affairs, CAN should rather metamorphose
into a political party.

A JAPANESE SCIENTIST DISCOVERS THE SECRETS OF ZAMZAM WATER
... {!}
Science, at a very later stage, reveals new secrets about
Zamzam water.
Emoto took a sample of Zamzam water, and said:
"I couldn't crystallize it, even by diluting the water by
1,000."
Following was written by Dr. Masaru Emoto....
'The quality/purity of Zamzam water will not be found
anywhere else in the
water on this earth...!
He used the technology named NANO, and researched a lot on
Zamzam water. And found out that if one drop of Zamzam water
mix in 1000 drops of regular water, regular water will get
the same quality like Zamzam
water. He also found that a mineral in one drop of Zamzam
water has its own importance that will not be found in any
other water on this earth. he also found in some tests that
the quality or ingredients of Zamzam water can not be
changed ! why... ???
Science does not know the reason. he re-cycled the Zamzam
water,
but there was no change, it was still pure.
'Subhan'Allah'~Surely this is
a Miracle of Allah's...!
ZamZam water level is around 10.6 feet below the
surface.
It is the miracle of Allah that when ZamZam was pumped
continuously for more than 24 hours with a pumping rate of
8,000 liters per second, water level dropped to almost 44
feet below the surface.
BUT WHEN THE PUMPING WAS STOPPED, the level immediately
elevated again to 13 feet after 11 minutes. 8,000 liters per
second means
that 8,000 x 60 = 480,000 liters per minute 480,000 liters
per minutes
means that 480,000 x 60 = 28.8 Million liters per hour And
28.8 Million liters per hour means that 28,800,000 x 24 =
691.2 Million liters per day
So they pumped 690 Millions liters of Zamzam in 24 hours,
but it was re-supplied in 11 minutes only... ! There are
2 Miracles here... !
The first that 'Zamzam' was re-filled immediately,
& the second is that Allah [SWT] Holds the extraordinarily
powerful Aquifer for not throwing extra Zamzam out of the
well, otherwise the world would SINK.
Allah says in the Holy Qur'an... 'We will soon show them
Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it
will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it
not sufficient as regards your Lord
that HE is a witness over all things.'
