Question from Br. Nadeem Khan in Virginia:
Can a Muslim woman marry a Catholic or Christian man?
By Islamic Law,, would this marriage be considered legal or
illegal Please answer this question in the light of Qur'an
and Sunnah.
Answer by Dr. Kaukab Siddique. imam of Masjid Jamaat
al-Muslimemeen.
A quick answer is that it is HARAAM [strictly
forbidden.]
Here is my detailed fatwa:
"Do not marry women who associate others with Allah
[mushrikat] until they believe. A slave woman who believes
is better than one who associates others with Allah
[mushrika] even though she allures you. Nor marry men who
associate others with Allah [mushrikeen] until they believe:
A male slave who believes is better than one who associates
others with Allah [mushrik] even though he allures you. They
[associaters] beckon you to the Fire but Allah beckons by
His Grace to the Garden [of Bliss] and forgiveness, and
makes His Signs clear to mankind that they may receive
admonition." [2:221]
Notice the Arabic word in brackets. It is often incorrectly
translated as "disbelievers" and "idolaters" although
mushrik is one who associates others with Allah.
All interpretations must end when there is a clear Hadith of
the Prophet, pbuh, on the issue. He never recommended
marriage with non-Muslims. Addressing men, he makes it quite
clear that Islamic integrity and faith is the requirement
for marriage:
"The messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be on
him, said: Women are married for 4 reasons: for wealth, for
family nobility, for beauty and for Deen: You should marry
for Deen, otherwise may your hands be rubbed in the dirt."
[Narrated by Abu Huraira, r.a., in the Sahih of Bukhari and
the Sahih of Muslim.]
Deen is a comprehensive term for piety, knowledge and
practice of Islam and Fear of Allah.
Marriage is a central requirement in Islam. Early marriage
is strongly recommended.
Random sex and lack of self-respect can by avoided by very
early marriage.
Immigrant Muslim women and men are marrying non-Muslims.
Thus we have unstable families where the religious future of
the children is uncertain.
The immigrant Muslims use a verse in sura al-Maidah to
justify marriage with non-Muslims.
They don't study hadith, so they don't know that the
al-Maidah verse was revealed at the end of the Prophet's,
pbuh, life. At that time, the non-Muslims would come into an
Islamic ethos backed by the entire society.
In a a society where Islam is not dominant, 2:221 applies. A
non-Muslim would have the full support of a secular, corrupt
society, the children would think adultery and homosexuality
are not mortal sins. Even America's presidents support these
abominations.
Thousands of men and women have embraced Islam in America.
Where should they go if Muslims don't marry them. They know
they can't marry non-Muslims.
CONCLUSION: Marriage with non-Muslims is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.
Marry the Muslims. It is an outrage and a shame that they
are being ignored.

JI View
Without Rule of Law, nothing can change.
by Qaiser Sharif
Lower Dir: July 23: Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq has
said the politics entered into closed alley due to the
policies of the PDM and the PTI.
The ruling parties, he said while addressing a public
gathering here on Saturday, were directly responsible to
economic and other crises and they must seek public apology
on their behavior before the situation turned from bad to
worse.
If 35 years of Pakistan were destroyed by the dictators, the
so-called democratic government ruined the remaining 35, he
said.
The JI chief said the political parties came into power with
the backing of the establishment. The practices to steal the
public mandate and to impose governments on the basis of
liking and disliking backfired every time, he added. The
people must be given free and fair choice to elect their
leadership, he said, adding only Islamic system could save
Pakistan now. He appealed to the masses to reject the tested
parties and chose Jamaat-e-Islami to bring real change.
Sirajul Haq said the powerful people broke the law and felt
unanswerable to anyone. The corruption was rampant in the
absence of any accountability system in Pakistan, he said.
It seemed the courts were not feeling it necessary to ask to
hold those accountable who looted billions of rupees and
stashed their wealth in foreign accounts and shell
companies, he said, adding the judiciary's inaction over
Panama Leaks and Pandora Papers were the examples of it.
He said the economy was on the verge of collapse due to
ill-conceived policies of the incumbent and past
governments. The IMF, he said, had virtually taken control
of the national economy. He said the decisions about
Pakistan were being taken in the closed rooms of
Washington.
He said the assemblies turned into horse-trading centers
where loyalties of the elected representatives were being
purchased with different tactics. How those politicians who
involved in the purchasing and selling of the elected
representatives could lead the masses, he questioned.
The ruling parties exposed once again and they had been
creating embarrassment for Pakistan in all over the world,
he said.
On one side, he said, masses were starving to death due to
inflation and poverty while on the other side rulers were
constantly fighting for protection of self-interest.
The JI chief said Pakistan could not go ahead without
establishing rule of law and sustainable and clean
democratic process. He said the feudal lords and corrupt
imperialists won the election with the power of their
wealth. This drama must end now, he said, adding the country
and public could no longer afford the dirty practices.

"The Destruction of the European Jews"
Hilberg's Giant with Feet of Clay
By Jürgen Graf
paperback $19.00
3rd, updated edition of 2022:
This outstanding short study provides a merciless demolition
of the central claims of the Holocaust thesis by way of a
probing examination of Raul Hilberg's canonical The
Destruction of the European Jews. By narrowing his focus to
those pages in Destruction that deal directly with the
plans, program, methods, and numerical results of the
alleged Nazi mass murder of the Jews, Swiss researcher Graf
relentlessly exposes the weakness and, often, absurdity of
the best evidence for the extermination program, the gas
chambers, and anything like the six million death toll.
Giant can be devastatingly funny in its deconstruction of
Hilberg's flimsy attempts to portray mass gassing and
cremation at Auschwitz and Treblinka; its focused brevity
makes this book both an excellent introduction and a fine
refresher course on the essentials of the revisionist
case.
Note: Earlier editions of this book formed Volume 3 of our
prestigious series Holocaust Handbooks. However, in May
2021, this third spot in that series was taken over by a
newer, more thorough critique of Raul Hilberg's opus magnum
authored by Carlo Mattogno (Bungled: "The Destruction of the
European Jews"). Jürgen Graf's classic, more concise
critique of Hilberg, first published in 1999, has now been
re-published in a new, updated edition - outside of that
series. Read what other revisionists said about it:
"It was Professor Arthur Butz in his Hoax of the Twentieth
Century who proposed the image of the holocaust as a giant
with feet of clay. By drawing on the analyses of revisionist
historians and incisively pointing out inconsistencies in
the documentary, physical and 'eyewitness' testimony, Jürgen
Graf finds in the present study that, although the major
portion of Raul Hilberg's bench-mark work rests on reliable
sources, its title should have been The Persecution of the
European Jews rather than The Destruction of the European
Jews. Hilberg, by selecting an inaccurate title, has
supported Professor Butz' notion that the Holocaust story
has feet of clay." —Prof. Dr. Costa Zaverdinos,
University of Natal, South Africa, rtd.
"A significant monograph from the indefatigable Jürgen Graf
— and yet another contribution to the body of work at
the center of holocaust revisionism. That he writes
charmingly, too, is an additional dividend." —Andrew
Gray, Copy Editor, The Barnes Review
"This book has great educational value provided it is
studied rather than merely read. Some may wonder why Raul
Hilberg's 40 year old work Destruction of the European Jews
today merits a book length critique. The main reasons are
that the 'Holocaust' legend has not changed very much in the
interim, and that Hilberg presents the subject
comprehensively, in a formal academic style that invites
critical examination. Graf does likewise. If the reader will
take the effort to examine the sources that Hilberg and Graf
use, he will derive, first, a reliable presentation of how
the 'Holocaust' allegedly transpired and, second, a perhaps
shocking revelation of the shoddy evidence that the legend
is based on and, third, a specific important application of
a good part of the revisionist scholarship of the past
quarter century. The reader will then understand the basis
for the title chosen for this book." —Prof. Dr. Arthur
R. Butz, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois
Invitation to Think
Malcolm X Case.
Muhammad Aziz Exonerated after 20 years in Prison.
A man who was exonerated after spending decades in prison in
the United States for the 1965 murder of Black civil rights
advocate Malcolm X is suing New York City for its role in
his wrongful conviction.
Muhammad Aziz's lawyers filed a lawsuit against the city in
federal court on Thursday, demanding at least $40m in
damages.
"Mr Aziz, a US Navy veteran who served multiple tours of
duty, and the father of six young children, was only 26
years old when he was arrested for the murder of Malcolm X,"
the lawsuit reads.
"He spent 20 years, during what should have been the prime
of his life, locked in prison for a crime he did not commit.
The damage done to Mr Aziz and his family was immense and
irreparable."
Aziz, 84, and his codefendant Khalil Islam, who died in
2009, were exonerated in November 2021, with the judge who
vacated their conviction calling it a "serious miscarriages
of justice".
At the time, then-Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr
apologised for what he called "serious, unacceptable
violations of law and the public trust".
Islam's estate also filed a similar lawsuit against New York
City on Thursday.
Aziz, Islam and a third defendant, Mujahid Abdul Halim, were
convicted in 1966, but historians have long cast doubt about
the case. Halim, who was released from prison in 2010,
confessed to the murder but maintained the innocence of the
other two men.
The case was reopened in 2020 after the release of a Netflix
docuseries, Who Killed Malcolm X.
Aziz sued New York state over the wrongful conviction late
last year; that lawsuit was settled for $5m in April,
according to the New York Times.

It is related from Abu Hurairah~(Allah be pleased with him )
reported ---
that the Messenger of Allah
[may Allah bless him and grant him peace] said...
A man said, 'I must give some 'Sadaqah,'
and went out with his 'Sadaqah',
putting it in the hand of a Thief {!}
The next day people said he had given
'Sadaqah' to a Thief !
he said, 'O Allah, praise is Yours.
I will again give 'Sadaqah'.
so, he went out with his 'Sadaqah' and this time
put it in the hand of an Adulteress{!}
The next day people said that he had
given 'Sadaqah' in the night to an Adulteress !
he said ,' O Allah, praise is yours
I gave it to an adulteress, I will give more 'Sadaqah'.
he went out with his 'Sadaqah' and put it
in the hand of a Rich Man !
The next day people said he had given
'Sadaqah' to a rich man !
he said, 'O Allah, praise is Yours. I have given Sadaqa
to a Thief , an Adulteress, and a Rich man.'!
Then someone came and said to him---
'Your 'Sadaqah' to a Thief might make him
abstain from stealing'!
'What you gave to the Adulteress might make
her abstain from fornication'.
'And what you gave to the rich man might
make him reflect so that he will
spend out from what Allah has given him'.

Narrated Al-Bara, r.a:
The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to do seven (things) and
forbade us from seven (other things): He ordered us to pay a
visit to the sick, to follow funeral possessions, to say:
May Allah be merciful to you to a sneezer, - if he says:
Praise be to Allah
To accept invitation (invitation to a wedding banquet), to
return greetings, to help the oppressed, and to help others
to fulfill their oaths (provided it was not sinful). And he
forbade us from seven (things): to wear golden rings or
golden bangles, to wear silk (cloth), Dibaj, Sundus and
Mayathir.

Poorly Armed Palestinians Resisting.
Israeli soldiers shot, Sunday dawn, nine Palestinians,
including one who was shot with a live round in the head,
after Israeli soldiers invaded the Old City of Nablus, in
the northern part of the occupied West Bank.
Medical sources said three Palestinians suffered moderate
wounds, one was shot in the head and is in critical
condition, and at least five suffered mild-to-moderate
injuries.
All the wounded Palestinians were shot with live rounds
before the medics rushed them to Rafidia Hospital in
Nablus.
They added that the medics had to take alternate and longer
routes to reach the invaded areas after the army blocked
many streets and refused to allow them to cross.
The Quds News Network said the attacks occurred when dozens
of soldiers invaded the Old City, especially the al-Yasmina
neighborhood, leading to protests before the army fired a
barrage of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas
bombs.
An Israeli army spokesperson said the soldiers invaded
Nablus's Old City to arrest Palestinians before Palestinian
fighters exchanged fire with them.
The Palestinians used loudspeakers of several mosques
calling for blood donations at the hospital and asking to
help the families in the invaded areas.

The Eyes that Grieve
This Eid seems different than every Eid
The grass is a little longer with a touch of dryness
The air pressure pounds heavily on people's chests
Breathing, in itself, has become a chore
Children's voices are muffled between the loud sirens
The rain seems to come in a rush and gushes through our half
opened window
The wind whips the leaves whirling them in a distance
The sighs of humans have created too much fog on my
windshield
More people I know have died
Showing one that life is very short
Gone in a blink of an eye
Coyotes howl louder nearby more than ever
I lie in bed with my eyes open wide
Staring for hours at the barren ceiling that has cracked
No one knows why I sit in solitude
Why the very interruption of my thoughts is a crime
I live in the past when you were crawling next to me
When you used to caress my hair to fall asleep
And story after story I read to you
Between my arms I rocked you to sleep
You've grown
You've grown in jail
Little does one know when one conceives what destiny might
await them
Looking at your little face that never knew but grief
Grief entangled like wet hair on a round brush
Now I understand why the thinking man froze in history
Why the pine trees throw their acorns
Why the sun sometimes is reluctant to rise
And the moon shies away behind thick clouds with shades of
gray
Now I know why the rivers flow in a hurry
Why the mountains are mantled in their places
And why man has become uglier than beast
I learned that the world is full of evil
Greedy people wait like hyenas
I know now not to ask other than God
And to Him I prostrate longing for Him to free my son
For God has promised that on the Day of Judgment
The eyes that grieve shall no longer grieve
The eyes that grieve shall no longer grieve
