How did the Jamaat al-Muslimeen start
By Salahuddin Abdullah

Salaams brothers and sisters. May Allah keep us on the straight path.

For those who are not familiar with Jamaat al Muslimeen, the reason why it was formed was because a lot of other organizations failed in their attempts to establish a strong Jamaat.

Here are the main reasons why it was formed.
  1. Learn Islam directly from the Quran and Hadith.
  2. Indigenous and immigrant Muslims work together.
  3. Be economically independent.
  4. Men and women are equal in the movement at all levels. Taqwa is the only criterion.
  5. Decentralization is essential.
  6. Work at grassroots level and invest in the support of the oppressed instead of building expensive mosques.

These are the reasons why the Jamaat was formed.

Allah Akbar

Sirajul Haq says mayor election not about PPP vs JI — it is PPP vs Karachiites. Naeemur Rehman says PPP is hated in Karachi over fascism to usurp rights of Karachiites. JI leaders vow to foil all attempts by the PPP against the mandate of Karachiites

Lahore: June 11: The Save Karachi March — taken out on Sunday as part of countrywide protest against attempts to manipulate mayoral election in Karachi by PPP — warned the Sindh government that Karachiites won't compromise on their mandate so the regime needs to mend its ways.

Tens of thousands of Karachiites took to Sharah-e-Quaideen in protest against the fascist tactics by the Pakistan People Party to bulldoze the mandate of the citizens as the ruling regime in Sindh resorted to arrest elected chairmen of union councils, belonging to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. The crackdown in Karachi was moved from May 9 mayhem to elected chairmen under political motives after the party announced unconditional support for JI Karachi chief Engr Hafiz Naeemur Rehman in the mayoral elections.
A large number of political and social activists, social media influencers, JI workers and people belonging to all walks of life joined the march. Participants, carrying placards and banners, chanted slogans against the PPP's fascist design to capture the mega city.

In his address, Sirajul Haq said that the ruling elite in the country did only disservice to the country. The said class looted each and every institution and sector of the country and now they are aiming at ballot box, he said, adding that the elite ruling class needs to know that the time has change and they will have to face an unprecedented resistance.

The JI supremo said that the upcoming mayor election in Karachi is not about a contest between the PPP and the JI — it is contest between the PPP and Karachiites.

He pleaded PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari to uphold democratic norms, values and principles by accepting the mandate of 35 million Karachiites. Otherwise, he warned the PPP leadership of a resistance movement across the country and the JI is not going to let the city put on the mercy of the PPP.

He said that the JI has a proven record of progress and development in the city and other parts of the country. He further said that the JI's credibility has also been acknowledged on international forums and by international institutions, working closely with the JI.

Sirajul Haq once again warned the PPP government to abide by the rules and regulations and avoid any attempt to snatch the mandate of the JI — otherwise, he said, the party will leave no stone unturned in struggle for the securing its mandate.

He also emphasized to transform the political system in the country from the bases of feudalism and elitism to the bases of social justice. He said that the Islamic values of politics not only ensures a welfare state for its citizens but also for other creatures as well.

Jamaat-e-Islami Sindh Ameer Muhammad Hussain Mehnati in his address said that the city has been going through one of the worsts phases of its history. The PPP regime ruling in Sindh has ruined the infrastructure in the city.

The entire Sindh province has been ruined, he said, adding that people across Sindh are looking to the activism of Karachiites against the PPP with hope and positivity. He further said that people across the province have held protests against PPP in solidarity with the Karachi and Karachiites.

JI Karachi chief Engr Hafiz Naeemur Rehman in his address said that since the PPP realized its imminent humiliation in the local government elections in the mega city, the party was trying its level best to avoid holding the polls. He further said that it was the continuous pursuit by the JI that compelled the PPP government in Sindh to hold the elections.

From this point, he maintained, the PPP opened another chapter of fascism, undemocratic and anti-people tactics to please its feudal mindset by naked attempts to snatch the mandate of Karachiites. Unfortunately, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) played the role of A team for the PPP when it comes to post-poll rigging, he said.

The JI stalwart made it clear that the Karachiites would not let the PPP snatch their mandate and the JI will use all constitutional and democratic options against the ruling party.

Naeemur Rehman said that the PPP is hated in Karachi because of the feudal and fascist designs the PPP used to usurp the rights of Karachiites.

Yasir Qadhi of Texas
Dr. Fowzia made a powerful speech at the Epic Islamic center in Plano Texas.

She had come a couple of days earlier from visiting her sister Afia in prison after a 20 year separation.

A big crowd came to hear her and Pakistani Senator Mushtaq Ahmad who came all the way from Pakistan to support her.

It was an impressive event but there was a down side to it. The program mc was Yasir Qadhi who has been denounced by the Muslim Skeptic as a clever slippery supporter of LGBTQ homos.

His program at Epic mosque also brought out his slippery snake side. For all these 20 years he has not cared for Aafia Siddiqui and did not visit her although Epic is not far from the Ft. Worth prison where Aafia was being mistreated.

But now he behaved as if he is dying for love of Aafia. He called on Allah with so many of His names to free Aafia. He urged the audience to donate.

The Epic mosque is on a road where one can see the palatial homes of some of the richest Muslims. These are not the people who would go to visit a prison where a Muslima was being tormented.

Yasir Qadhi easily impreses naive Muslims but this time his double face was caught.

Please read the Muslim Skeptic to learn about Qadhi and Omar Sulaiman and their entire facade.

Be Sagacious !
Sufyaan ath-Thawri (R.)wrote in a letter of advice to one of his Brothers in Islam~
"...The most sagacious of the sagacious ones is he who enters Paradise because of a sin he perpetrated...!
he places his sin before his eye, continuing to be constantly afraid for himself...
on account of that sin until he departs from this world and enters Paradise {!}

And the most foolish of the foolish ones is he who enters the Hellfire on account of a single good deed he performed {!}
he places it before his eyes...
constantly remembering it and hoping to be rewarded for it,
and in the meanwhile, he takes his sins lightly !
and he continues to remain upon that condition until he parts from this world and enters the Hellfire {!}
My Brother, be Sagacious !
be constantly afraid for yourself on account of your past mistakes...!
since you do not know whether or not

your Lord will punish you for them...
And you do not know what impact your sins will have on the remainder of your life...!
Remember, that Ibraheem (Alayhis salam)
despite the fact that he was the 'Khaleel ar-Rahmaan'
(this was a position of high ranking with his Lord),
feared for himself and asked his Lord...
"O my Lord, keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols."
(Source: Qur'an 14: A# 35)

"And Yousuf (Alayhi salaam) said...
"My Lord, cause me to die as a Muslim

(the one submitting to Your Will), and join me with the righteous."
(Source: Qur'an, 12: A# 101)

And Moosa (alayhi salam) said...
"My Lord, For that which You have favored me, I will never more be a helper for the 'Mujrimun'
(criminals, disobedient to Allah, polytheists, sinners, etc)"
(Source: Qur'an, 28: A# 17)

And Shu'aib (alayhi salam) said...
"And it is not for us to return to it unless Allah, our Lord, shall will."
(Source: Qur'an 7: A # 89)

All of these Prophets of Allah feared for themselves so imagine the degree to which we should fear for ourselves...!

Hadith of the Week
Narrated by Sa`d:

The Prophet (ﷺ) visited me at Mecca while I was ill. I said (to him), "I have property; May I bequeath all my property in Allah's Cause?" He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said, "No." I said, "One third of it?" He said, "One-third (is alright), yet it is still too much, for you'd better leave your inheritors wealthy than leave them poor, begging of others. Whatever you spend will be considered a Sadaqa for you, even the mouthful of food you put in the mouth of your wife. Anyhow Allah may let you recover, so that some people may benefit by you and others be harmed by you."

Palestinian toddler shot by Israeli soldiers dies

A two-year-old Palestinian boy has died four days after being shot in the head by Israeli forces.

Mohammed Tamimi and his father were shot while leaving their home in Nabi Saleh, in the occupied West Bank.

The Israel military said its soldiers opened fire while in pursuit of two gunmen who had earlier shot at a nearby Jewish settlement.

In a statement after the incident, the military added that it regretted harm to "non-combatants".

Palestinian activist and journalist Bilal Tamimi - who was also injured - said that the Israeli army was waiting to ambush a car at the entrance to Nabi Saleh and opened fire as it approached.
