Narrated by Anas, r.a.:
Haritha, r.a. was martyred on the day (of the battle) of
Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother came to the
Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! You know how dear
Haritha is to me. If he is in Paradise, I shall remain
patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not
so, then you shall see what I do?" He said, "May Allah be
merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think
there is only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and
your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of
Al-Firdaus."

Leaked China documents reveal 'no mercy' policy towards
Uighur Muslims
A rare and huge leak of Chinese government documents has
shed new light on a security crackdown on Muslims in China's
Xinjiang region, where President Xi Jinping ordered
officials to act with "absolutely no mercy", the New York
Times (NYT) has reported.
Human rights groups and outside experts say more than one
million Uighurs and other mostly Muslim minorities have been
rounded up in a network of internment camps across the
far-western region.
The documents include previously unpublished speeches by Xi,
as well as directives and reports on the surveillance and
control of the Uighur population, the US newspaper said on
Saturday.
The documents were leaked by an unnamed member of the
Chinese political establishment who expressed hope that the
disclosure would prevent the leadership, including Xi, from
"escaping culpability for the mass detentions," the NYT
said.
In a 2014 speech to officials made after militants from the
Uighur minority killed 31 people in a train station in
southwestern China, Xi called for an all-out "struggle
against terrorism, infiltration and separatism" using the
"organs of dictatorship," and showing "absolutely no mercy,"
according to the newspaper.
Chen, according to the NYT, distributed Xi's speeches to
justify the crackdown and urged officials to "round up
everyone who should be rounded up".
The trove of leaked documents included a guide to answering
questions from students who had returned home to Xinjiang to
find their families missing or detained in camps.
Officials were instructed to say the students' family
members had been infected with the "virus" of extremist
thinking and needed to be treated before "a small illness
becomes a serious one".
China, after initially denying the camps, has described them
as vocational schools aimed at dampening the allure of
Islamist extremism and violence through education and job
training.
But rights groups and foreign media have reported that
official documents and satellite images show the facilities
are equipped and run like prisons.
The leak "confirms in black and white, in the party's own
words, its conscious and systematic extrajudicial mass
internment of Muslims in Xinjiang," said James Leibold, an
expert on ethnic relations in China and a professor at
Melbourne's La Trobe University.
The documents show that "there was resistance on a local
level" with local officials who disagreed with the policy
facing punishment or being purged, Leibold told AFP.
Additionally, he said, the fact that the documents were
leaked is "a significant indicator that there are many
inside the party who think this is an unwise policy and wish
to hold Xi Jinping and Chen Quanguo accountable".
MAKINDE WARNED NOT TO DIVIDE MUSLIMS OF OYO STATE
By Abdulkabir Oyemomi
The executive governor of Oyo State Seyi Makinde has been
warned severally not divide Muslim Ummah with his recent
utterances.
It will be recalled that the governor recently boasted that
a certain Muslim leader in the state is in full support of
what he was doing. He further made derogatory remarks about
a certain religious activist in the state.
It is rumored that Makinde is preying on loopholes created
by divided Muslim Ummah in Oyo State, especially Ibadan.
Some say that the governor is backing the wrong horse.
The writer is evidently worried about the governor's
activity of destruction of a mosque in the popular city of
Ibadan recently. Although many Muslim congregation of the
mosque in question appeared placated with his reason and
promises, demolishing an ancient Mosque for a Christian
governor appears questionable .
However, the governor is one of the best performing
governors in the whole of Nigeria and we Muslims do not
close our eyes to a job well done from anyone, regardless of
religious background. The only worry is that Nigerian
Christians in the position of authority won't hesitate to
clamp down the progress of Islam.
Also,MURIC issued a warning in a statement circulated to the
media on Friday, 15th November, 2019. The statement was
signed by the group's director, Professor Ishaq
Akintola:
"We have no scintilla of doubt that the young governor is
engaging in political masturbation. Worse still, Makinde's
decision to snub Kunle Sanni, the undisputed bona fide
generalissimo of Islamic acvitism in Oyo State is a
manifestation of poor judgement."
The writer is poised to investigate the fracas existing
amongst the Muslim of Oyo State to be able to make an
informed decision on what to write about the members of
different faction.
Editorial
Maulana Fazlur Rahman Trying
Peaceful Means to Remove Regime.
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD
For 13 days Jamiat-ulema-Islam led by Maulana Fazlur Rahman
carrfied out a sit-in at Islamabad, the Pakistani capital.
Very large crowds entered Islamabad and were addressed by
the Maulana who called for the resignation of Imran
Khan.
In some ways it was a great success. Maulana had guessed
that Imran would call the Azadi March a distraction from
Kashmir. So on Day1, in Karachi, JUI expressed its support
for the people of Kashmir. Maulana understood that Khan was
not interested in conflict with India aimed at liberating
Kashmir. Imran 's outcry against Maulana failed.
Secondly the Khan crowd focused on insulting the Maulana and
trying to humiliate him by claiming that his father and his
Academy opposed Pakistan. This ploy too failed. In Pakistan,
elders are still respected and top level religious leaders
are not to be insulted. Name calling is condemned by the
Qur'an itself. After the huge crowds gathered in Islamabad,
the Khan crowd's abuse petered out.
Secularists often forget that Qaide Azam at one time was in
the Congress [united India] party. Iqbal at one time sang
songs about his pride in united India. PEOPLE CHANGE. Abuse
and personal attacks fail after a while.
For 70 years secularists and Communistsd have accused
Maulana Maudoodi as an enemy of Pakistan. It did't work.
Today Jamaate Islami is the standard bearer of the Pakistani
ideology. In East Pakistan JI gave countless martyrs and
even recently its top leadership was executed and remained
pro-Pakistan to the end. The Pakistani army surrendered:
cowards who deserve execution.
Millions gathered to support Maulana Fazlur Rahman but
strict DISCIPLINE was maintained. Not ONE person was killed
or injured.
Was Imran Khan's Election a Fraud?
Maulana Fazlur Rahman tried to unite the opposition. He has
received some support from, though sporfadic, from PML [N}
and PPP. The Khan regime disgraced itself by imprisoning
his opponents including the brilliant daughter of Nawaz
Sharif, Maryam Nawaz. Pakistanis are chivalrous people and
action against women leaders is shameful to say the
least.
Also there are no charges against the PPP leader. He is
imprisoned in a completely illegal way.
Maulana Fazlur Rahman has now launched his Plan B to cut off
major highways all over the country.
The military and the Khan regime is waiting for an excuse
of violence from the crowds to launch an offensive.
The army [pro-American and enemy of Islam] has expressed
support for Khan but it is being careful. During the army's
genocide against Islamic populations in Swat and Waziristan,
the masses supporting Maulana Fazlur Rahman did not
rise.
Now the Maulana is sure that the army is pro- Israel. The
top general, Bajwa, went with Imran to USA and held secret
meetings with Trump and his generals.
Bajwa does not want to move against such large numbers of
Pakistanis as are now supporting the Maulana. The general is
looking for his opportunity.
Our readers should remember that Pakistan was NOT created by
the army. It was serving its Bfritish masters in the
battlefields against Germany.
The army lost East Pakistan. Not one of them has been
executed.
Kashmiris don't see any action against India on the LOC.

JI Report
Widespread Suffering in Kashmir.
Note on Nawaz Sharif.
Comment on Bangladesh.
by Qaiser Sharif.
LAHORE- Nov 13: Jamaat-e-Islami chief Senator Sirajul Haq
has said the government changing stance on the issue of
Nawaz Sharif treatment proves that the rulers are confused
and lack decision power.
Talking to journalists outside Senate on Wednesday, he said
the government established its incapability on the health
issue of the former prime minister.
Meanwhile, talking to delegation of World Kashmir Freedom
Movement, he urged the international community pay attention
towards human rights violations in Indian held Kashmir
(IHK). He said curfew and lockdown entered 100th day in the
held area and millions of people were become prisoners of
the occupied forces and facing severe shortage of food,
medicines and other necessities of life.
Kashmiri leaders Muzammal Ayub Thakur and Shaista Safi
called on the JI chief in Islamabad to discuss the situation
emerged in the held region after the Modi government
decision to abrogate the special autonomy of the area on
August 5.
Siraj appreciated the role of Kashmiri diasporas in
highlighting the Indian brutalities in the IHK, saying the
prevailing situation had enhanced their responsibilities
toward the cause.
He said it was his belief that Kashmri struggle will soon
bear fruit as the torch of freedom was now in the hands of
youth who were writing a new history of sacrifices and
resistance against the oppressive forces. He said the days
were not so ahead when Kashmir will get freedom from the
yoke of Indian slavery.
The JI chief said Indian PM Modi as Gujrat chief minister
had ordered killing of thousands of Muslims in the Indian
state and now he (Modi) had adopted the same method in
Kashmir. The international community must take notice of it,
he added.
He regretted that the UN was acting as silent spectator when
it came to the issue related to Muslim world. He said Muslim
should be given veto power in the UN.
LAHORE- Nov 13: Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Emir Senator
Sirajul Haq has extended good wishes to the newly elected
Emir of JI Bangladesh Dr Shafique-ur-Rahman.
In a letter to the elected chief, Sirajul Haq hoped the new
leadership will continue efforts for the welfare and
development of the Bangladeshi people. He paid tribute to
the former leadership of the JI BD and its workers who had
faced state oppression for years without compromising their
principle stand, facing jails and embracing martyrdom.
Before his election as JI BD chief, Dr Shafique served as
secretary general of the party for three years.
LAHORE- Nov 13: Ambassador of Germany in Pakistan Bernhard
Schlagheck called on Jamaat-e-Islami leadership at Mansoora
on Wednesday.
The situation in Kashmir, domestic and foreign issues came
under discussion during the meeting.
JI Secretary General Ameerul Azim, Naib Emirs Liaqat Baloch
and Dr Farid Paracha and JI Foreign Affairs Director Abdul
Ghaffar apprised the German diplomat about the latest
situation in the Indian Held Kashmir, telling him solution
to the Kashmir issue according to the wishes of the people
of the area was the only key to establish peace in the
region. They said Germany should play its role to stop human
rights violation in the occupied area.
The ambassador said Germany wanted a peaceful solution to
the Kashmir issue through dialogue.

Palestine
Israel Hitting Soft Targets
November 13
Wednesday was the second day in the most violent assault
against the Gaza Strip in months. This week's death toll has
now risen to 34 Palestinians, including 3 children.
One of the young boys tragically killed was 7-year-old Amir,
an UNRWA student at Zaitoun Elementary Co-ed school. Amir
was killed in Gaza City as he rode on a motorcycle with his
brother and father. According to Defense for Children
International, an Israeli drone-fired missile targeted the
motorbike killing all of them.
In a statement yesterday, United Nations Special
Coordinator, Nickolay Mladenov said:
"There can be no justification for any attacks against
civilians. The continuing escalation is very dangerous. It
is yet another attempt to undermine the efforts to improve
the dire socio-economic conditions in Gaza and prevent
another devastating conflict. The UN is working to urgently
de-escalate the situation."
These tragic deaths are unconscionable and violate
international law.
Please join UNRWA USA in sharing the message that children,
anywhere in the world, should never be a target:
Palestine
Israel has carried out fresh strikes on targets in Gaza as
militants there stepped up rocket attacks following the
killing of one of its leaders.
Israel says air and ground forces hit sites used by the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group. More than 150 rockets
have been fired at Israel.
Violence escalated after Israel killed PIJ commander Baha
Abu al-Ata. Four more Palestinians were also killed.
One Israeli man was injured by a rocket, Israeli medical
services say.
What is the latest?
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out waves of attacks
throughout the day on what it said were PIJ targets. Among
the sites the IDF said it hit was what it called a "terror
tunnel", which it said the PIJ planned to use to attack
Israeli civilians.
It said it also hit training compounds and weapons factories
and storage facilities.
Three Palestinians were killed in air strikes in northern
Gaza, one of which targeted a group preparing to launch a
rocket, Israel said.
In Israel, air raid sirens sounded across the country as
volleys of rockets were fired from Gaza since the early
morning. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have taken
shelter in bomb-proof rooms, and schools and businesses were
ordered closed.
Dozens of Israelis have been treated for injuries as an
indirect result of rocket-fire, Israeli medics say.
Gaza's health ministry says about 30 Palestinians were
wounded by the Israeli attacks.
Baha Abu al-Ata came to prominence in Gaza this year,
commanding fighters of Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigade in
the north and east of the strip.
But he acted increasingly outside of the control of the
dominant militant faction Hamas, ordering rocket attacks
seemingly without approval after Israeli soldiers shot and
injured dozens of Palestinians during regular protests at
the perimeter fence earlier this month.
A Palestinian TV presenter even warned on-air recently that
his actions might see the Israelis trying to kill him.
A serious escalation in hostilities is now likely, despite
Israel's efforts to signal to Hamas that it has not returned
to a wider strategy of so-called targeted killings.
What have Israel and the Palestinians said?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that while
Israel was not seeking escalation, it was prepared for a
protracted period of fighting.
"Whoever thinks that they can hit our citizens and evade our
long arm is wrong," he told a news conference in Tel
Aviv.
"We've proven that we can hit, surgically, wherever the
terrorists hide. Whoever harms us, we will harm them."
Palestinian groups in Gaza meanwhile issued a joint
statement, saying Israel had crossed "all red lines" and
would face consequences.
At Abu al-Ata's funeral, senior PIJ official Khaled al-Batsh
said Israel had issued "a declaration of war".
The group vowed to avenge Baha Abu al-Ata's death in a way
which would "rock the Zionist entity" - a reference to
Israel.
What caused the flare-up?
The immediate trigger was the killing by Israel of Baha Abu
al-Ata in what it called a "surgical strike" on a building
in the eastern Shejaiya area of Gaza in the early hours of
Tuesday.
Mr Netanyahu said Abu al-Ata was a "ticking bomb" whose
death thwarted an imminent attack on Israelis. The prime
minister said the militant was responsible for many rocket
attacks on Israel.
IDF chief of staff, Lt Gen Aviv Kochavi, said Abu al-Ata had
undermined recent efforts to broker a ceasefire between
Israel and Hamas, which runs Gaza and is considered a rival
to PIJ.
Abu al-Ata's wife was killed alongside her husband, while
four of their children and a neighbour were reportedly
injured.
Around the same time as the attack on Abu al-Ata, two people
were killed and 10 injured in an Israeli air strike on the
home of another Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader in the
Syrian capital, Damascus, Syria's state news agency Sana
said.
Sana cited a military source as saying the PIJ leader, Akram
al-Ajouri, was not harmed, but that his son was among the
dead. Israel's military did not comment.
PIJ, which is backed by Iran, has its headquarters in
Damascus and is one of the strongest militant groups in
Gaza.

*VISUALIZE STANDING IN FRONT OF ALLAAH*{!}~
{*AL-KHUSHOO* THE ESSENCE & CORE OF 'SALAH'}~[SUPERB]~!
'Assalaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu'.
~How to attain 'Al-Khushoo' in Our Prayers ~
[ *In Shaa Allah* ]
How is it possible for us to gain 'Al-Khushoo' (Humility )
in and outside of
the prayer and during recitation of the 'Qur'an' ?
Allah {Azza Wa Jall}~says.... 'The Believers will prosper.
Those who have
'Khushoo' within their prayers'.
[Source~ 'Qur'an'~ Surat Al Mu'minoon 23: A # 1-2]
'Al-Khushoo' is the essence and core of the prayer... !
And it means the presence and attendance of the Heart !
And that the heart of the person who is praying does not
wander left and
right. However ... if the person senses something that will
divert him
away from (this) Al-Khushoo' ... then he must seek refuge
with Allah from
the outcast 'shaytaan' just as the*Prophet*...[Sallahu
'Alayhi Wasallam]
instructed us to do !
And there is no doubt that the 'shaytaan' is extremely
assiduous upon
spoiling all acts of worship especially the 'Salah' which is the
most superior act of worship after the two Testimonies.
Thus, the 'shaytaan' comes to the 'Musalli' (praying
individual) and says
...or whispers 'Remember this and that'... {!} and he causes
him to indulge
in thoughts and ideas that are of no benefit and which leave
his head as
soon as he concludes from the prayer...{!}
Therefore it is upon a person that he strives with
the...
utmost ambition to devote himself towards Allaah the Mighty
and Majestic
and if he feels anything from these misgivings and devilish
insinuations to
seek refuge with Allaah from the Outcast 'shaytaan' whether
he is Raki'
(bowing), in the 'Tashahhud', sitting, or standing or
in any position from his prayer...!
Lastly from the greatest means that will aid one in
attaining Al-Khushoo'
in the prayer is ...{?} that he Visualizes himself standing
in front of Allaah and that he is confiding in
his Lord ALLAAH {Subhanahu wa Ta' ala.} {'In Shaa
Allah'}
