"The messenger of Allah, pbuh, led the Eid prayer and then
gave the sermon. Then he realized that his voice will not
have reached the women. So he walked to the women, gave them
the sermon and taught them the message of Islam particularly
about charity, sadaqa. Then the women started donating their
ear rings and finger rings in the way of Allah [sadaqa]."

India's Supreme Court Supports Takeover of Historic Mosque
Supreme Court's Babri Masjid judgement prefers faith over
law to accommodate majoritarianism, say Indian Americans
Verdict in sync with Modi government's Kashmir crackdown,
NRC in a bid to usher in Hindu Rashtra
November 10, 2019
The Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC), an advocacy group
dedicated to safeguarding India's pluralist and tolerant
ethos, has expressed dismay at Indian Supreme Court's ruling
that a Hindu temple be built on a site where the Babri
Mosque stood for five centuries until Hindu extremists razed
it 27 years ago.
Calling the judgement a mixture of glaring contradictions,
IAMC has urged Indian Muslims to pursue legal avenues such
as filing of a review petition before the Court. The Supreme
Court's ruling emboldens the decades' old project of Prime
Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu extremist Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) — whose thousands of members
had criminally razed the mosque in 1992 and who were yet to
be punished for it — to make India a Hindu Rashtra
(nation) and turn India's 200 million Muslims, who are its
largest minority, into second-class citizens.
"The Supreme Court's ruling is of a piece with the Modi
government's revocation of special status of Jammu and
Kashmir, India's only Muslim-majority state, and the
decision to incarcerate half a million Muslims in detention
centers in the state of Assam," said IAMC National President
Ahsan Khan.
It is bizarre that although the Supreme Court accepted that
Hindu extremists had illegally installed idols inside the
mosque in 1949, and then also illegally demolished the
mosque in 1992, the Court has nonetheless chosen to award
the site's possession to these very claimants.
While the Court observed that "the Muslims have been wrongly
deprived of a mosque which had been constructed well over
450 years ago," it said the Muslims had failed to provide
evidence of the site's "exclusive" possession. "It is
inconceivable why the Court has not applied this standard of
evidence for the Hindu plaintiffs," the IAMC said.
The Supreme Court judgement affirms "the mosque was
constructed in 1528 by or at the behest of [Mughal emperor]
Babur", and that until 1949, it was legally a mosque,
although Hindus would worship at a surrounding wall.
Moreover, the judgement has acknowledged that an idol of Ram
appeared inside the mosque on December 23, 1949, "not
through any lawful authority, but through an act which was
calculated to deprive them [Muslims] of their place of
worship." It also acknowledged that the mosque's demolition
in 1992 was a "calculated act of destroying a place of
public worship," going on to affirm "the Muslims have been
wrongly deprived of a mosque which had been constructed well
over 450 years ago." The Supreme Court also acknowledged
that ASI could not establish if a temple was demolished to
build a mosque and yet, the ruling has gone against the
Muslims.
"Indian Muslims have kept faith in the judicial system and
this judgement shatters that faith," Mr. Khan added. "The
Muslims now seem to have been punished for their faith in
the courts, whereas the RSS has been rewarded for its
violence."
India is now witnessing a collapse of the social contract
and the promise of equality before law it made to all its
citizens at Independence in 1947. The failure of the Supreme
Court to dispense fair and equitable justice does not augur
well for peace and harmony. The judgement will further
reinforce Hindutva forces that rely on lies, falsification
of history and massive violence in order to subjugate
minorities.

PAKISTAN
JI says ...
Government has
Surrendered Kashmir.
LAHORE-Nov 8: Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Senator Sirajul Haq has
said that state of Kashmir has disappeared from the world
map due to the negligence of the Pakistani rulers.
Addressing a Senate session in Islamabad on Friday, he held
the government responsible for the surrender on Kashmir,
reminding the rulers the 'fall of Kashmir' would be the
worst tragedy in the history of the country after the 'fall
of Dhaka.'
He said the prime minister had promised that he (PM) would a
give a roadmap to the nation on Kashmir after returning from
the UN. The people of Pakistan, he said, were still waiting
for the roadmap. It seemed, said the JI chief, holding token
protests and wearing black arm bands were the only strategy
the government had devised for the Kashmir cause. He said
100 days were passed that IHK was under curfew and people
were starving to death but Islamabad was turned into silent
spectator to the worst human rights violations in the
valley.
He said the rulers had already wasted 14 months and left
with a little time to fix their directions on domestic and
foreign fronts. He said no one could save the rulers from
facing public wrath if they continued their policies. He
said the government ministers were intentionally making fun
of the illness of Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari to create
political chaos in the country. The government attempts, he
added, to hide its inability would not succeed now as the
rulers were completely exposed before the masses.
The JI chief declared the unavailability of justice as the
biggest issue of the country. He said two parallel systems,
one for the rich and affluent class and the other for poor,
were running in Pakistan. On one side, he said, people could
not afford bread and roof while on the other side the elite
of the country were stashing their billions of rupees in
foreign banks.
He said the statement of the army's spokesperson about the
neutrality of the institution was welcoming though the past
examples were bitter and otherwise.
He called for launching an inquiry into the matter of
cancellation of Senator Hafiz Hamdullah citizenship by
Nadra

ISLAMABAD: JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman lashed out at
Prime Minister Imran during his Azadi March speech on
Sunday.
"Keep sitting on the chair, this nation doesn't recognise
you as its ruler," he said to the prime minister.

Fazl said that the government was reminding him about
following the court's decision.
"I want to ask you, how many judicial verdicts did you
respect," he asked.
Fazl said that the incumbent government was afraid of his
Azadi March. He said that his marchers had reduced the
government's mountain of ego to dust.
"The Azadi March has reduced their [government] mountain of
debt to dust," he said.
Fazl said that this was not the way the country could be
run. The JUI-F chief said that Pakistan could only be run in
accordance with the law and constitution.
Fazl calls Prime Minister Imran, parliament 'fake'
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman lashed out at the
government in his latest speech, on Friday, at the H-9
venue.
"When he [Prime Minister Imran] went to the United States,
he wasn't even received by a schoolteacher," he said.
Fazl said that Pakistan had even upset China. He lashed out
at the government for alleging that foreign loans had been
used by politicians in money laundering and corruption.
"He even abused us and the country in his US jalsa," said
Fazl, referring to the Prime Minister's address during his
first official visit to the US.
The JUI-F chief said that Prime Minister Imran's politics
was based on just one word and that was calling others
thieves.
Fazl also lashed out at the government's negotiating
committee, saying that they did not have the capability to
understand the opposition's demands.
"They don't have the capability to understand our demands or
convey them to the government," he said. "Which is why I
tell them to bring me the prime minister's resignation."
The JUI-F chief criticised the legislation that was done on
Thursday in the parliament, when a record number of 13
ordinances were approved in an hour-and-a-half.
"Fake ordinances through fake representatives is not
acceptable," said Fazl.
He said that the armed forces of the country had established
peace in the country by giving tremendous sacrifices.
"This peace could not have established without our
cooperation," he said.
Fazl said that if the nation was against those who picked up
arms in the name of religion, then Prime Minister Imran was
a 'Qabza Group' and he should also be opposed.

'Assalaamualaykum Wa Rahmatuallahi WaBarakatahu'.
'Ikhlas' [Sincerity] is probably the most difficult
of all actions in Islam...!
Sincerity in seeking Allah's pleasure alone in all
our deeds requires a high-level of consciousness
of our Creator that must be consistent over time.
More often than not,
we fall into the problem of 'Riya'
[showing off ] where our deeds are really
for the sake of people than for the sake of Allah.
Sheikh Abdul Malik Ar-Ramadani (Allah have mercy on him)
mentions some narrations
on this subject from the righteous people of the past in his
book 'Sittu Durar'
'Ikhlas' is "when the servant's internal and external actions
are the same.. And 'Riya' is when the external actions are
better than the internal actions (of the heart).
Truthfulness in one's sincerity is when the internal
is better (developed) than the external."

Bilal Bin Sa'd (Allah have mercy on him) said...
"Do not be a 'Wali' (friend) of Allah outwardly,
yet an enemy to Him internally."
{Source:-Ahmad in Az-Zuhd, Abu Nu'aym in Al-Hilyah}
It has been stated, "Ikhlas is that you
do not request anyone to witness
your actions except Allah...!
and that you do not seek anyone to
reward you except Him...!"
Salamah Bin Dinar~(Allah have mercy on him) said:
"Hide your good deeds (from the people)
just like you hide your evil deeds".
{Source:-Abu Nu'aym, Bayhaqi}
And in a narration in Al-Bayhaqi...
"Hide your good deed like you
hide your evil deed...
and do not be delighted at your own action,
for you do not know whether you are happy
or wretched (in the Hereafter)."
It has been stated in definition of 'Ikhlas'....
"It is to single out Allah in one's intention
{Qasd} in one's obedience (to Him)."
Hammad Bin Zaid ~ (Allah have mercy on him) said:
'I used to walk with Ayyoob As-Sakhtiyani
(Allah have mercy on him) and he would take
me through different routes...!
I would be surprised at how he would
guide himself through them, fleeing from
being seen by the people who might say,
'This is Ayyoob... !'
he also said:
"Ayyoob used to take me via a route that was
the longest and I would say
"But this one is closer."
he would reply...
"I fear (passing by these) gatherings."
When he would pass by them and give 'Salaams',
they would reply to him with more than what
(they would do for) others !
So he would say:
'O Allah, you know that I did not desire this' !
{Source~ Ibn Sa'd, Al-Fasawi }
Abu Zur'ah Bin Abi Amr (Allah have mercy on him) said...
'Ad-Dahhak~(Allah have mercy on him) Bin Qays
came out and made the prayer for rain with the people,
but they were not granted rain, and nor did they see
any clouds come.
Ad-Dahhak~ (Allah have mercy on him) said:
"Where is Yazeed Bin Al-Aswad?" (And in another
narration...
"But nobody answered him!". He then said again~
"Where is Yazeed Bin Al-Aswad Al-Jurashee ? "
And I was insistent on calling him that if he was to
hear my words he would get up.)
"Here I am," he answered...
So Ad-Dahhak~(Allah have mercy on him) said...
" Stand and intercede with Allah on our behalf,
that he should grant us rain."
So Yazeed stood up, made his face pointed in the direction
of his feet, and made his head sink into his shoulders
(out of humility).
he then said:
"O Allah, these servants of yours sought Your intercession through me .
So he had not called upon Allah three (3) times except
that the people were granted rain in such abundance
that they almost drowned on account of it...!
Then Yazeed said...
" O Allah, this one made a show of me ( Ad-Dahhak )
[ by asking for him and calling out for him ...]
so grant me freedom from this (fame)."
Yazeed did not live except
for the next 'Jum'uah'...{!}
