It was very wrong of President Trump to insult Rep. Ilhan Omar. She is an elected official, and has the support of almost the entire Somali community in Minnesota. After insulting Omar, the President attacked the entire Somali community. Such insults reduce support for Trump. Not for Omar. Last night in bitter cold, she was without security. She appealed for help, and got tremendous support. As Muslims, Jamaat Al-Muslimeen is horrified at Trump's remarks. Islam does not allow racist remarks. May Allah protect her.
Pakistan is attacking Afghanistan. The Mujahideen are resisting. Pakistan is now under the control of unislamic, Westernized people.
Jamaat-e Islami is not resisting after Pakistani forces massacred religious people in a little town called Muridke. Hundreds of Muslims were massacred, and the Westernized rulers supported the massacre. Mujahideen groups known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, are opposing regime forces, and are losing many martyrs. Reports indicate that Pakistani landlords and other pro-Trump Pakis are in direct contact with the US government, and are on the brink of recognizing Israel.
The new Syria is celebrating its first complete year of the closure of prisons, where countless Syrians died a slow, painful death. For decades, an Alawite sect had supported the now-deposed dictator, Hafiz Al-Assad. He committed the murders of tens of thousands and locked up tens of thousands more. The Muslim masses want to kill all the Alawites but the Muslim government is restraining them.
Israel is bringing the Druze sect to fight the government, but it's not succeeding.

Israel and America's Agenda of Conquest of the Arab World
By Mahboob A. Khawaja
Friends and Foes in Wars
Warmongers and weapon profiteers claim to be peacemakers but reality reveals reckless crimes against humanity, continuous wars, destruction of earth and human habitats and political wickedness and frauds hostile to peace and global harmony.
Arab-Muslim leaders detached from reality and divided for individual survival appear delusional and defeated. In crisis, intelligent leaders opt for facts of life and when facts warrant a change, responsible leaders pursue a navigational change. Public advisory is rare and non-existence across the Arab-Muslim governance. The overwhelming reality of war in Palestine reflects a cataclysm that afflicted the entire Arab-Muslim world. When hope is replaced by tyranny and terror, people lose sense of rational thinking and direction.
The US-Israel war has broader strategic objectives to conquer the Arab world and make Israel a mini superpower of the Middle East.
The oil exporting Arab leaders and masses live in a fantasy of their own imagination – a fallacy of truth telling.
The US appears to be a collaborator in the alleged crimes against humanity and genocide across Gaza. The Tel Aviv billboard displays the Egyptian, Saudi, Emirate and other presidents / kings / princes standing behind Netanyahu and Trump – friends not foes of Israel. For two years, they all kept regular relationships with Israel. Spectators and onlookers, they watched the planned massacres, bombing of places of worship, hospitals, planned starvation of the civilians in Gaza, yet continued their relationships with Israel as a new normal against the interest of their masses. All monsters of history claimed good intentions and righteous ambitions but inflicted horrors, deaths and destruction on fellow human beings to achieve individualistic ambitions of power and glory. If you don't believe in the encompassing truth, just view the real "genocide pictures" presented by Editor Rosa on Transcend Media, September 8, 2025.
Israel and America's Agenda of Conquest of the Arab World
Gaza and West Bank are obliterated by Israeli insanity over two years of continued war and bombardments of civilian infrastructures. The Arab-Muslim leaders had no mind, wisdom and courage to challenge Israel for its planned onslaught of Palestinian masses. They profess friendship with Netanyahu against Israeli animosity. The Arab leaders appear morally, intellectually and politically bankrupt as a scum floating on a torrent of naive puppets and discredited leaders. The American-Israeli collaborative war on Gaza and its immediate consequences made the Western world and all of its institutions shamefully redundant and void in the 21st century global norms of civility, human rights, freedom, justice and safety of civilians- whereas crimes against humanity are captured in obscure impulses and indecision and deliberate inaction by the UN Security Council.
Aggressors and Enemy of Mankind Bomb the Spacious Earth
Israel so far, has dropped more than 90,000 ton of bombs on Gaza – three times more insane than what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War 2. Perhaps, the Israeli and American leaders do not believe in life and death and accountability to God for all of their actions. The Torah and Bible fully reflect on this core human responsibility and punishment to those who violate the Divine Covenants. The Earth is not a property of the US or Israel but a Divine hub of human Life, Survival and a Trust, those bombing and destroying it are mentally sick and defy the Divine Truth. It looks as if the US and Israeli leaders do not believe in life and death and accountability. The earth is a living entity and spins at 1670 km per hour and orbits the Sun at 107,000 km per hour. Imagine, if this spinning fails, what consequences could occur to the living beings on Earth. Think again, about the average distance of earth from moon is 93 million miles -the distance of Moon from Earth is currently 384,821 km equivalent to 0.002572 Astronomical Units. Earth is a "trust" to mankind for its existence, sustenance of life, survival, progress and future-making. The Earth exists and floats without any pillars in a capsule by the Will of God, so, "Fear God Who created life and death." Is human intelligence still intact to understand this reality? Wherever there is trust, there is accountability. The Divine Revelations (the Quran: 40: 21) offer a stern warning to conscientious leaders and nations:
Do they not travel through the earth and see
What was the End of those before them. They were even superior to them in strength
And in the traces they have left on the earth. But God did call them to account for their sins
And none had they to defend them against God.
And killing of innocent people is prohibited in the Ten Commandments (Torah):
'Thou shalt not kill' (Exod. 20:13; also Deut. 5:17)
Jewish law views the shedding of innocent blood very seriously, and lists murder as one of three sins (along with idolatry and sexual immorality), that fall under the category of yehareg ve'al ya'avor – meaning "One should let himself be killed rather than violate it.
"Phase One of Israel's genocidal campaign on Gaza has ended. Phase Two has begun. It will result in even higher levels of death and destruction" reports Chris Hedges.
—"Israel Reopens the Gaza Slaughterhouse," Chris Hedges Report
The Israeli-American denial of crimes against humanity, "genocide" in Gaza, forcible expulsion of millions clearly represents ferocious conception of right and wrong and how irrational the leadership tends to be in real world affairs. Political wickedness is endemic and Western leaders appear mentally and morally dubious as they offer lip service to peace and continue to supply weapons to Israel. Public consciousness and peace activists around the globe demand accountability of Israel and the US. The Trump Peace Plan has paused the war but displacement and killing of Palestinian continues unabated. What a shame, what a disgrace to the Arab-Muslim countries and so-called leaders having armies, resources and opportunities to defend Palestine, besieged masses of Gaza and their rights, dignity, and sustainable future. Yet they all turned out to be inept puppets of the US and Israel. Please see this.

Imam Jamil Al-Amin - America's Imam
By Sis. 'Aisha
Jamaat al-Muslimeen New York City
We all come from Allah, and it's to him we make our return. It's odd. Although I am angry and saddened by the death of Imam Jamil Al-Amin in a federal prison for an act (not a crime) he did not commit, I am accepting of it. Masha'allah - it is as Allah willed it. As my African slave ancestors believed, once they made the transition from this life, Imam Jamil's death has freed him from his unjust bondage. On November 23, 2025, he returned to Allah at the age of 82.
I pray that Allah rewards Imam Jamil for his patience, suffering, and for teaching the truth for so many decades, just as in Surat-al-'Asr (Chapter 103 in the Qur'an). He was a true inspiration during and after the Black Power Movement in America. I pray that Allah reward Imam Jamil's family for their patience and support throughout his life, especially during his unjust incarceration. May Allah bless Imam Jamil's family as they experience their loss.
I did not know him personally, but Imam Jamil had a profound effect on me. After he was incarcerated, Imam Jamil Al-Amin wrote an article stressing the importance of Surat-al-'Asr and till this day it is my favorite Surah in the Qur'an. The Imam helped me to realize that this Surah reveals the keys to living a fulfilling life on earth while learning how to survive its adversities. The Imam exemplified everything that was in one of the shortest chapters of the Qur'an!
For example, Surat-al-'Asr tells us to "join in the mutual teaching of truth and patience (through adversity)." Earlier in his prison sentence, it was reported that Imam Jamil had such a strong, positive influence on the other prisoners that he was removed from population and put into solitary confinement, which he endured for years! He had often been referred to as a charismatic leader by friends and foes alike, and he did such a great job that his enemies sought to punish him for it. Imam Jamil responded that as long as he could make his salat, he would be alright. I remember wondering how much suffering the warden thought he inflicted on the Imam, not realizing that the Imam's relief from this injustice was through making his daily prayers. Very powerful!
I remember watching Gil Noble's Like It Is, a program focused on global Black issues, and I saw a much younger Imam Jamil (known as H. Rap Brown at the time) questioning the phrase "truth, justice, and the American Way," which is associated with comic book hero Superman. He said that fighting for truth and justice made sense, but what is the "American Way?" He famously stated that violence "was as American as cherry pie." More than ever, many Americans are questioning the 'American Way' of doing a lot of things.
The kuffar and munafiq devils who conspired to frame Imam Jamil may relish the fact that he spent many years away from his family and endured unjust treatment behind bars, ultimately passing away in a prison hospital. For these devils, making examples out of our leaders (Imam Jamil, Sheikh Omar, Dr. Afia, Mumia, etc.) is supposed to make us tremble in fear of something like that happening to us. Their goal is to stop us from challenging their evil policies, and I do not see that happening at all! Their arrogance causes them to believe they are untouchable, but Allah has the final say (Holy Qur'an 29:4).
We admire our freedom fighters and fight for them when they cannot fight for themselves. I remember the efforts on the part of Muslims and other human rights activists to write letters demanding better treatment for the Imam during his incarceration. New Trend Editor Dr. Kaukab Siddique, who referred to Imam Jamil as America's Imam, always encouraged readers to write letters to political prisoners, which I did on a few occasions throughout the years, including to Imam Jamil Al-Amin.
Allah makes it clear throughout the Qur'an that he is with those who believe and patiently persevere (2:153). Allah warns us that, in some instances, with faith comes persecution. Imam Jamil demonstrated what living fisabillilah (for Allah's sake) was like. It is not just the conclusion of their life's stories we must focus on, but it is how leaders, such as Imam Jamil and El-Hajj Malik Shabazz, exhibited the courage to confront oppression and endure the adversities that came with it without ever cowering! They never backpedaled, backtracked, "clarified," or about-faced on any statements made.
Ultimately, we will all be tested (Holy Qur'an 29:2-3). The question is, will Allah's test prove we are true believers or liars?
"As for those who believe and do good, We will certainly absolve them of their sins, and reward them according to the best of what they used to do." (Holy Qur'an 29:7).

Christian Martyrdom and the Blame Game
On the Catholic Faith Network (CFN), I saw a show, Encounter (12/6/2025), hosted by Bishop John Barres of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Monsignor Jim Vlan was also a part of this episode's panel. The show's guest was Dr. Robert Royal, Editor-in-Chief of the Catholic Thing. Recently, he authored a book, Martyrs of the New Millennium: Global Persecution of Christians in the Twenty-First Century. During the discussion, the consensus was that Islam was a growing threat to Christianity all over the world.
People with professional titles should be analyzed critically. There have been many books written by racist doctors who were held in high regard, such as Dr. Carl Jung, claiming that black/brown people had lacked intelligence and developed lustful desire as prepubescents. Don't be fooled by these professional titles. These "doctors" have written books that were filled with lies and misinformation about black and brown people, especially those who were not Christians. If these European doctors were professionals at anything, it was telling lies! It was like that then and now.
I am always skeptical of Christian accounts involving Muslims.
Dr. Royal recounted an incident involving the death of Nigerian Seminarian Michael Nnadi at the hands of radical "Moslems." According to Dr. Royal, these captors tried to force Nnadi to take his "shaddada," (sic), which he refused, and after telling his captors they were a disgrace to Islam and that they should become Catholic, he was murdered. Allegedly, Michael Nnadi's shooter expressed his admiration for Nnadi as he recounted the events leading up to Nnadi's death. Dr. Royal claimed that by the end of 2024, there were 7,000 Christian martyrs in Nigeria. He said that the numbers were at 5000 Christian martyrs a year in Nigeria up until that point.
There is a lot of Western interference, American, Belgian, French, etc., in Africa, and these descendants of European imperialists don't like it.
During the discussion, Dr. Royal criticized Pakistan's blasphemy laws and said there are two in Pakistan's Constitution that could put any Christian in jail for the slightest offense. In Pakistan, he said the blasphemy laws are used for religious repression and for social gain. He alleged there were instances where "Moslems" had falsely accused their neighbors of blasphemy because they wanted their land or cattle or simply had a grudge. He stated that in England, where there is a growing Muslim population, unjust blasphemy accusations are hurled against English Christians. He claimed that the British don't know how to assert themselves against these militant Muslims when faced with accusations of having "dissed the Qur'an."
Dr. Royal warned that attacks against Catholicism may intensify because Western Elites are soft on these attackers. He said that these elites view Catholicism as bad because of its history (i.e., the Crusades, hatred toward Gays, Galileo, etc). He called all of these nonsense reasons to be against the Church because they are marginal compared to Catholic contributions to Western civilization overall.
Christians, especially Catholics, have never held themselves accountable for their declining membership. They don't understand that identifying as Christian is not the same as being a practicing Christian. It is the same thing with Zionist Jews, who are comfortable claiming to be half-Jewish and celebrating Chrismukka with their equally secular Christian spouses for the children's sake. Of course, as knowledgeable Muslims, we are already aware of unbelieving Jews who eat pork after getting bar mitzvahed.
People Martyred by the Archdiocese
Dr. Royal wants us to focus on Catholic martyrs, but there are plenty of people the Catholic Church has martyred over the centuries!
How about sexually abusive priests and nuns protected by the Catholic Church? This has led to millions of dollars awarded to their victims in recent decades by the Catholic Archdiocese.
How about those US Indian Boarding/Canadian Indian Residential Schools? There were nearly 1000 of these schools subjecting Indigenous Americans/Canadians to heinous sexual and physical abuse under the guise of assimilating them into a corrupt culture - that's another dozen articles on that alone! Pope Francis's apology was weak and dismissive.
Abuse of maligned young people who have reached out for help. Whether it was Father Bruce Ritter, founder of Covenant House, abusing underage male prostitutes there, or the recent excavation of over 700 skeletons of infants and toddlers at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Ireland, there have been many instances where the Church subjected these victims to further abuse!
The above list is of transgressions committed within the last 100 years. Historians have already written books about the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and the colonization of indigenous populations in the so-called New World.
Any decline in membership is not because of "radical Moslems" allegedly targeting and killing Christians in cold blood. Dr. Royal and others want to blame Muslims for oppressing Catholics, but the Catholic Church's wounds are self-inflicted!
An unnamed Idaho man just died 51 days after receiving a kidney transplant. His kidney came from a Michigan organ donor infected with rabies. Although the Michigan man's family listed his contact with a skunk, the hospital never tested the organs for rabies. Skunks are known rabies carriers. The hospital assumed that because rabies is so rare for humans to contract in America that it was okay to go through with harvesting the Michigan man's organs.
The real reason, I suspect, is that organ donation is a multi-billion dollar business ($14.5 billion in 2024), and this hospital, which may be sued, couldn't care less about the injured parties.
Health officials wanted to allay people's fears by stating that this is only the 4th death from rabies via an organ transplant since 1978. The victim's family is probably not concerned about this statistic. There shouldn't be any deaths from organ transplants! Every test should be conducted before harvesting organs."Harvesting" is the term the medical field uses for taking organs. It sounds like a business word. Healthcare is a money-maker in America. Profits are generated at the detriment of people and pets. People are being encouraged to apply for healthcare jobs. Thousands of people will rarely lose their jobs even if a hospital closes down. Usually, neighboring hospitals will absorb the workers from the closed hospital.
I had a young cousin who passed away, unfortunately, from a drug overdose. I questioned whether the drug overdose would overwhelm his organs the way the drugs overwhelmed him and ended his life.

*PROPHET*~ ﷺ *THE HEART IS NOT PUT RIGHT UNTIL THE TONGUE IS PUT RIGHT *~*{EXCELLENT !}*~
It is reported in al-Musnad, on the authority of Anas, that the
Prophet ﷺ
[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ]said:
' The Faith of a servant is not put right
until his Heart is put right,
and his heart is not put right
until his Tongue is put right.'
This shows that the Prophet
[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ]
has made the purification of Faith conditional on the purification of the Heart, and the purification of the Heart
conditional on the purification of the Tongue...{!}
At-Tirmidhi relates in a Hadith on the authority of
Ibn 'Umar (R):
'Do not talk excessively without remembering Allah, because such excessive talk without the mention of Allah causes the heart to harden, and the person furthest from Allah is
a person with a hard heart.'
'Umar Ibn al- Khattab' ~
[ may Allah be pleased with him]said:
'A person who talks too much is a person who often
makes mistakes, and someone who often makes mistakes,
often has wrong actions.
The Fire has a priority over such a frequent sinner.'
In a Hadith related on the authority of Mu'adh (R)~
Prophet[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ] said---
'Shall I not tell you how to control all that...?'
I said, ' Yes do, O Messenger of Allah.'
So he held his tongue between his fingers, and then he said:
'Restrain this.' {!}
I said, 'O Prophet of Allah, are we accountable for what we say?' he said, 'May your mother be bereft by your loss...
is there anything more than the harvest of the tongues
that throws people on their faces
(or he said 'on their noses') into the Fire?'
A hadith related by Abu Huraira~ (RA) says:
'What mostly causes people to be sent to the Fire are the
two {2} openings, the mouth and the private parts.'
Abu Huraira (RA) also related that the Messenger of Allah
[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ] said-
'The servant speaks words, the consequences of which he does
not realize, and for which he is sent down into the depths of
the Fire further than the distance between the
east and the west.'
The same Hadith was transmitted by at-Tirmidhi with slight variations:
'The servant says something that he thinks is harmless,
and for which he will be plunged into the depths of the
Fire as far as seventy autumns.'
Uqba ibn Amir (R) said:
''I said: ''O Messenger of Allah, what is our best way of surviving?''
he [may Allah bless him and grant him peace] replied---
'Guard your tongue, make your house suffice for
sheltering your privacy, and weep for your
wrong actions.'
It has been related on the authority of Sahl ibn Sa'd(R)
that the Prophet ﷺ said---
'Whoever can guarantee what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, I guarantee him the Garden.'
It has also been related by Abu Huraira~[may Allah be pleased with him]
that the Prophet ~
[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ]said:
'Let whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day
either speak good or remain silent.'
The Prophet [ may Allah bless him and grant him peace said:
'Everything that the children of Adam say goes against them, except for their enjoining good and forbidding evil, and remembering Allah, Glorious and Mighty is He.'
[ This was reported by at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah on the authority of Umm Habiba,~
[may Allah be pleased with her].
Umar ibn al- Khattab visited Abu Bakr...
[may Allah be pleased with them both]
and found him pulling his tongue with his fingers... !
Umar [RA] said '' Stop! may Allah forgive you !''
Abu Bakr [ may Allah bless him ]replied:
'This Tongue has brought me to
dangerous places.'
Abdullah ibn Masud (R) said :
' By Allah, besides Whom no God exists, nothing deserves
a long prison sentence more than my tongue.
He also used to say
'O tongue, say good and you will profit;
desist from saying evil things and you will be safe;
otherwise you will find only regret.'
Abu Huraira (R) reported that Ibn al-Abbas(R) said:
'A person will not feel greater fury or anger for any part of
his body on the Day of Judgement
more than what he will feel for his Tongue !
unless he only used it for saying or enjoining good.'
Al-Hassan~[ may Allah bless him ] said:
'Whoever does not hold his tongue cannot understand
his deen.'
The least harmful of a tongue's faults is talking about whatever does not concern it.
The following Hadith of the Prophet
[ may Allah bless him and grant him peace ]said:
is enough to indicate the harm of this fault:
''One of the merits of a person's Islam is his
abandoning what does not concern him.''
Abu Ubaida related that al-Hassan (R) said:
''One of the signs of Allah's abandoning a servant is
His making him preoccupied with what does not
concern him.''
Sahl (ra) said:
'Whoever talks about what does not concern him
is deprived of truthfulness. '
This is the least harmful of the tongue's faults.
There are far worse things ...like
backbiting,
gossiping,
obscene and misleading talk,
two-faced and hypocritical talk,
showing off,
quarrelling,
bickering,
lying,
mockery,
derision
and falsehood;
and there are many more faults which can affect
a servant's tongue,
ruining his heart and causing him to lose both his
happiness and pleasure in this life, and his success
and profit in the next life.

A Little Note....
The Seven people in this 'Hadith' means the seven [ 7 ]
types of people that are considered to be very unique and difficult to find.
Those special people will have better treatment on Judgment Day.
They will not have to wait in the unbearable heat;
but rather, will be allowed to wait for their Judgment in the comfortable shade.
"Two {2} people who love each other for the sake of Allah
means people whose friendship is not based on materialistic or superficial
things, but on their mutual love for Allah...!
When one of them becomes corrupted, they are no longer friends...{!}
