Jamaat al-Muslimeen International Press Release

(From the Ameer of JAMI, Br. Kaukab Siddique)
"For me, I have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the Heavens and the Earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah." (6:79)

(From 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, Allah be pleased with him):


I heard the messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, saying: Actions shall be (judged) by intentions and a person's requital/reward shall be according to what the person intended .... (first hadith in Bukhari's Sahih)

Dear Muslims: assalamu alaikum and Eid Mubarak on Shawwal 1, 1421.

May Allah reward us all for our fasting and prayers performed according to the Sunnah of the Prophet and may Allah accept our zakat and zakatul fitr paid according to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him).

The coming year 2001 c.e. and then later 1421 hijri portends to be historic and full of determination for Muslims and oppressed people around the world.

Let's pay heed to the message of the blessed month we have completed:
1. Strengthen our ties to Allah thru prayers and continue to fast by doing the six fasts of Shawwal.
2. Link up with the poor, the oppressed and the downtrodden. Feed the hungry, clothe the needy, shelter the refugees.
3. Stand up against the oppressors.
4. Honor women and bring the MUTTAQI (Allah-conscious) women into the Islamic movement at all levels.

For our Islamic work, I bring to you the message of Islam as understood by contemporary leaders of Jamaat al-Muslimeen working in America and U.K.

Imam ALI SIDDIQUI from California teaches as follows:
We must follow the dimensions of the Prophet Muhammad's movement according to these stages in his life:
i. Give the message (da'wah)
ii. Organize those who accept it (tanzim)
iii. Do hijrah internally and externally away from from forces of oppression and corruption.
iv. Carry out jihad against the power structure based on "others than Allah."
CONCLUSION: ORGANIZE FOR EFFECTIVE ISLAMIC POWER. Are you part of organized Islamic effort? If not, join us today.

SHAIKH ISLAMUL HAQUE teaches from U.K.:
UNITY WITH THE OPPRESSED IS KEY TO OUR ISLAMIC STRUGGLE.
The Qur'an gives us the categories of human beings:
1. Mustakbireen (arrogant, powerful ones)
2. Mufsideen (disrupters, corrupters of Allah's natural order)
3. Mustadafeen (the majority, weak and oppressed)
4. Saliheen (those who do the right thing and purify themselves)
5. Muhsineen (those Islamic revolutionaries who do good and make the good prevail over evil)

Which of these Five are you with? Reciting the kalima, praying and fasting is not enough if you are with 1,2, or 3.

I urge the believers to support all Jihadist movements who are actually fighting against the oppressors worldwide. We must forgive their weaknesses and ignore our differences with them. (No one is perfect.)

ORGANIZE, FORGIVE, UNITE.

In America, we must work peacefully within the law of the land as the Prophet (pbuh) did in Makka (read the Hadith to find out).
For a new world, with Islam victorious, victory is essential on the battlefield in CHECHNYA, PALESTINE, KASHMIR, IRAQ, SOUTHERN SUDAN.
On the cultural battlefield, the key victories must be won in Pakistan, Egypt and Nigeria.
For the victory against Imperialism, U.S./British forces be withdrawn from Arabia (where they are surrounding our holy places) and the Gulf.
I urge Muslims to boycott Zionist Jewish businesses and their products.
