Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, r.a.: I heard Allah's
messenger saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the
intentions and every person will get the reward according to
what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly
benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for
what he emigrated for."
(Sahih Bukhari. Book #1, Hadith #1)
Ramadan will start on June 18 [Thursday], inshaAllah
According to Dr. Omar Afzal's Sunnah related web site,
islamicmoon, the chances are bright that the hilal,
crescent, for Ramadan will be sighted in various southern
areas of USA on Wednesday, June 17.
Hence first day of Ramadan will be June 18 [Thursday],
inshaAllah.
Re: Female Captives' Rights in Islam [June 7 issue of New
Trend]
JazakAllah.
Additional important point about Safia (RA). Not only was
she set free and elevated to the level of the mother of the
believers but this action made her people relatives of the
Prophet (PBUH) and in the tradition of that time could not
be enslaved any more. By this action the entire history of
enslavement of conquered people was brought to an end.
He not only freed Safia (RA), but the intelligence behind
doing it released her people from bondage. This was an act
of pure mercy and intelligence which placed the conquerors
in such a bind that they had to reform.
Superb master stroke. Unappreciated even by Muslims.
- Dr. Teepu Siddique [Chicago]
A Brief introduction of Sheikh Shah Waliullah
by Zaheer Bawany [Canada]
As-Salamu 'Alaykum
Imam Shah Waliullah was one of the greatest scholars ever
born. His contribution is recognized by 'Arab and non 'Arab,
and from different schools of thought, Brelvis, Deobandis
and Ahle Hadis.
With that said, one has to keep in mind that being a 'Sufi'
isn't a bad thing. The 'ulema have categorised Sufis into
good ones, ex. Junaid Baghdadi, Dhun Nun al-Misri, Sirri
as-Saqati, Imam Sarhindi, Imam Shah Waliullah, Shaykh Abdul
Qadir JIlani, etc. and into bad ones, those who didn't act
according to Shariah.
It's only a recent phenomenon that there is no differencing
of bad and good Sufis, NOW when the term Sufi is used, it's
all bad, which is very wrong.
Imam Shah Waliullah was from the good Sufis.
One of his biggest contribution was bringing the sanad for
the ahadith books from the 'Arab (specifically haramayn)
lands to hind (India). This alone gives him great honor, but
he also brought people back to the straight path; there were
many innovations which, he and his family fought. On top of
that, his works are magnificent.
He wrote two commentaries on Muwatta, one is Farsi other in
Arabic: he wrote Hujjatullah al-Baligha, another
masterpiece, translation of the Quran in farsi, and many
other works in tasawwuf, hadith, fiqh, etc.
And---- he had 'Ijaza in the Sufi Turuq as well. If I'm not
mistaken by the age of 17, he had 'ijjaza in the Tariqa from
his father, who passed away during this time. And yes he
didn't have problem with sufi thoughts such as wahdatus
Shuhud, Wahdatul Wujud, Ibn 'Arabi, etc. One has to properly
understand these concepts in order to make a justified
opinion of these scholars.
Keep in mind others defended ibn 'arabi as well, while
others rejected him.
In the end, One can see the contribution that he made. The
only thing we should do is accept the good, and make dua'
for him, and leave the bad and make dua' for him.

Indian Islamic Scholar Warns Against Campaign to "sell" Yoga to Muslims:
5 Daily prayers of Islam are much Better.
With World Day for Yoga,
the big industrialists must be having big plans to market
Yoga and all its products, from clothes to juices in all
countries, especially Western countries. Prime Minister Modi
is an ideal partner. What else can be of greater importance
to him than something, which combines his love for
corporates and Hinduism? It will be pertinent to argue here
that if Suryanamaskar was removed from the programme, it was
not in respect to Muslim apprehensions, as has been
publicised by the government, but to make sure that the
marketing of Yoga in Christian-dominant West and other
countries where some other religions are dominant, does not
face any problems. - Dr. Javed Jamil
Muslim organisations have made it absolutely clear that they
have no objections to Hindu brothers and sisters observing
Yoga Day with enthusiasm. It is always good for people
belonging to all religions engaging in the spiritual and
physical exercises. This certain makes them better human
beings.
What Muslims are objecting to is the involvement of the
Government at a massive scale (which would have been
appreciated if the Government supported practices belonging
to all religions rather than a preferred one), and campaign
among Muslims for joining it. The argument being advanced is
that Yoga has nothing to do with religion, an argument which
goes contrary to the statements by Shankarcharyas and
Adityanaths. In this article, I will show that Yoga is not
only a practice having direct links with Hindu faith and
scriptures but also that the motivation behind the present
campaign is more commercial than concern for health.
An article on Wikipedia gives the following account of
Yoga's relationship with Hindu religion:
"Yoga is an Indian physical, mental, and spiritual practice
or discipline. There is a broad variety of schools,
practices and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism (including
Vajrayana and Tibetan Buddhism and Jainism. The best-known
are Hatha yoga and Raja yoga.....
The origins of Yoga have been speculated to date back to
pre-Vedic Indian traditions, but most likely developed
around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, in ancient India's
ascetic circles, which are also credited with the early
sramana movements. Chronology of earliest texts describing
yoga-practices is unclear, varyingly credited to Hindu
Upanishads and Buddhist Pāli Canon, probably of third
century BCE or later.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjalifrom first half of 1st
millennium CE is one of a key surviving major texts on Yoga.
Hatha yoga texts emerged around 11th century CE, and in its
origins was related to Tantrism. ....
"Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the west,
following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th
and early 20th century. In the 1980s, yoga became popular as
a system of physical exercise across the Western world.
Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical
exercise; it has a meditative and spiritual core. One of the
six major orthodox schools of Hinduism is also called Yoga,
which has its own epistemology and metaphysics, and is
closely related to Hindu Samkhya philosophy. ....
"Many studies have tried to determine the effectiveness of
yoga as a complementary intervention for cancer,
schizophrenia, asthma, and heart disease. The results of
these studies have been mixed and inconclusive, with cancer
studies suggesting none to unclear effectiveness, and others
suggesting yoga may reduce risk factors and aid in a
patient's psychological healing process."
In an interesting article, a Christian writer objected to
the conversion of a Hindu Yoga into Christian Yoga, as was
being argued in some Christian circles. Titled, "East and
West, the Two Shall Never Meet, the article says:
"Christianity cannot be integrated with yoga and remain
Christian. To think otherwise imperils the Christian truth
and faith. As the managing editor of 'Hinduism Today,'
Sannyasin Arumugaswami, remarks, 'Hinduism is the soul of
yoga 'based as it is on Hindu Scripture and developed by
Hindu sages.
Yoga opens up new and more refined states of mind, and to
understand them one needs to believe in and understand the
Hindu way of looking at God. . . . A Christian trying to
adapt these practices will likely disrupt their own
Christian beliefs'.' East is east, and west is west, and if
Christianity is to remain Christian, 'the twain' should
never be married.
In another article, "Can Yogic Practices Be Integrated With
The Christian Faith?", Pastor Larry De Bruyn writes
"The practice of Yoga is pagan at best, and occult at worst.
Its teachings emanate from the Eastern religions, all of
which teach that self is God, only we just don't realize it
until we do the techniques. 'The goal of Yoga is
self-realization-to look deeply within to what ought to be
the temple of the one true God and to discover the alleged
true Self or higher Self to be God. Nothing could be more
religious than that, yet with straight faces, all of the
Yogis insist that practicing Yoga does not change anyone's
religious beliefs.'
Market of Yoga
It should however be credited to Hindu minds and market
planners that they successfully transformed an essentially
religious practice into market through conscious attempts to
delink Yoga from religion. An article on the increasing
fondness of Americans for Yoga says,
"A 2002 survey of Americans showed that more than half the
population expressed an interest in practicing yoga, and a
2004 news report claimed that there were nearly 15.5 million
yoga practitioners in the country. Nearly 77% of the
practitioners of yoga are women, and half of the yoga
enthusiasts have a college degree.
In the small college where I teach in rural Virginia, at
which participation in at least one form of physical
education is required, yoga classes are the first to fill up
- not aerobic dance, not fitness walking, and certainly not
weightlifting. Yoga Journal, the most popular magazine for
yoga enthusiasts, now has a paid circulation of 350,000 and
a readership of more than 1,000,000. Yoga has indeed been
embraced by Americans.
But as yoga became more popular, and as the industry grew to
be worth nearly $6bn, and as a variety of savvy marketers
begin branding their "special" yoga techniques, it was hard
not to notice that few yoga teachers and journals mentioned
the origins of the practice and its connection to Hinduism.
Yoga was "secularised" to rid it of any taint of a "pagan"
tradition. The practice, the savvy marketers claimed, was "a
spiritual path, but not a religious one", to calm the
committed Christian who wanted to hang on to Jesus while
doing the "surya namaskara" (obeisance to the sun)."
An article, entitled, "How Yoga became a $27 Billion
Industry -- and Reinvented American Spirituality" says:
"In the more than 40 years since Khalsa (the firs Yoga
Master in the USA to market it) opened his school, he has
watched as yoga in America has evolved from a niche activity
of devout New Agers to part of the cultural mainstream.
Dozens of yoga variations can be found within a 1-mile
radius of his studio in Manhattan's Flatiron District, from
Equinox power yoga to yogalates to "zen bootcamp." Across
America, students, stressed-out young professionals, CEOs
and retirees are among those who have embraced yoga, fueling
a $27 billion industry with more than 20 million
practitioners -- 83 percent of them women. As Khalsa says,
"The love of yoga is out there and the time is right for
yoga."
"Perhaps inevitably, yoga's journey from ancient spiritual
practice to big business and premium lifestyle -- complete
with designer yoga wear, mats, towels, luxury retreats and
$100-a-day juice cleanses -- has some devotees worrying that
something has been lost along the way. The growing
perception of yoga as a leisure activity catering to a
high-end clientele doesn't help. "The number of
practitioners and the amount they spend has increased
dramatically in the last four years," Bill Harper, vice
president of Active Interest Media's Healthy Living Group,
told Yoga Journal.
More than 30 percent of Yoga Journal's readership has a
household income of over $100,000. As American yoga Master
Rodney Yee remarked at a 2011 Omega Institute conference,
compromising the authenticity of the practice and ignoring
its traditions is "ass-backwards." "It dumbs down the whole
art form," he said."
With World Day for Yoga, the big industrialists must be
having big plans to market Yoga and all its products, from
clothes to juices in all countries, especially Western
countries. Prime Minister Modi is an ideal partner. What
else can be of greater importance to him than something,
which combines his love for corporates and Hinduism? It will
be pertinent to argue here that if Suryanamaskar was removed
from the programme, it was not in respect to Muslim
apprehensions, as has been publicised by the government, but
to make sure that the marketing of Yoga in
Christian-dominant West and other countries where some other
religions are dominant, does not face any problems.
It would however be appropriate to say that such a positive
belief in religious practices and religious morality is
surely much better than the rabid communalism in which the
Hindutva Brigade normally engages. But if Muslims are blamed
for not participating in Yoga, this would turn the positive
into negative. Let Hindus observe Yoga Day with religious
fervour and let Muslims continue strengthening their
physical and spiritual health through Namaz, Fasting and
avoidance of forbidden beliefs and practices!
Best Researched Article on Boycott of Israeli Dates
by Yasmeen Salahuddin, PhD [Pakistan]
Ramadhan - is a holy month for Muslims, where day-long fasts
are broken with dates and water as prescribed by the
sunnah
Please check the label when buying dates. Don't buy dates
that are produced or packaged in Israel or its West Bank
settlements.
Ramadan is the second busiest time of year for Israeli date
exporters, second only to Christmas.
Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land have
been ruled illegal by the International Court of
Justice.
Nearly half of the settlements in the Jordan Valley grow
dates, it's their most profitable crop, and contributes
significantly to their economic viability.
The Jordan Valley is the most fertile area of the West Bank.
It is on this Palestinian land that many of Israel's illegal
settlement farms - including date farms - can be found.
Hadiklaim, the Israeli Date Growers Cooperative, which
includes illegal settler plantations in the Jordan Valley,
sells 70% of all Israeli dates. Its brand names include
Jordan River
King Solomon
Tamara Barhi Dates
Desert Diamond
Rapunzel
Bomaja
Shams and Delilah
Jordan River Bio-Top
Israel, as it does every year, is preparing to flood the
markets with dates grown either within Israel or on its
illegal West Bank settlements.
Their main export is Medjoul dates, which are the
traditional dates used by Muslims to break their Ramadan
fasts.
If you buy Medjoul dates which have been grown or packaged
in the Jordan Valley, or in Israel, you are economically
supporting Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian
land.
Also check the label for the following export companies,
which do business in the settlements
Mehadrin
MTex
Edom
Agrexoco
Arava
Mehadrin, Israel's largest fresh produce exporter, last year
boasted of doubling their Medjoul date sales sighting strong
demand in Ramadan!
Their brand names are
Premium Medjoul
Fancy Medjoul
Royal Treasure
Red Sea
Bonbonierra
Supermarket complicity
They also supply Israeli dates to supermarkets who market
them under their own brand.
Israeli dates can be found in the major supermarkets.
Sometimes they are labelled "produced in the West Bank",
remember these are not Palestinian dates.
These include
Marks & Spencer
Sainsbury's
Tesco
Asda
Waitrose
Morrisons
Check the label. If it says 'Hadiklaim' on it, don't
buy.
Waitrose sells 'Jordan River Medjool Dates', with Hadiklaim
named on the label as the exporter.
It also sells 'King Solomon Medjool Dates', again with
Hadiklaim named on the label.
As well as selling Hadiklaim dates, Waitrose also sells
Israeli dates under the label, 'Love life Hadrawi
dates'.
Tesco sells Israeli dates under its 'Finest' brand.
It's 'Tesco Finest King Solomon Dates' are produce of
Israel.
Other Tesco-branded dates which are from Israel include
'Tesco Halawi Dates' and 'Tesco Wholefoods Medjool
Dates'.
Sainsbury's 'Taste the Difference Medjool Dates' are grown
in Israel and Morrisons' 'M Signature Medjool Dates' are
grown and packaged in Israel.
Always check the label. Don't buy dates or produce from, or
packaged in, Israel or its illegal settlements.
**keep this text as a reference for when you buy dates**

Analysis - Sectarian Buster
Umm Kulthum, brilliant young daughter of Ali, r.a., Married
second Caliph of Islam, Umar, r.a.; Abu Bakr, r.a.,
daughter, also named Umm Kulthum, refused to marry Umar,
r.a.
by Kaukab Siddique
The Internet is rife with sectarian attacks on Caliph Umar,
r.a., the Second Caliph of Islam and one of the greatest
Muslims of all times. Special sectarian emphasis is on the
claim that Umar, r.a., and Ali, r.a., were enemies.
I wrote on the Internet that Umar, r.a., and Ali, r.a., were
great friends. To cement this relationship, Ali, r.a.,
encouraged his very young daughter Umm Kulthum to marry
Umar, r.a., the great Caliph of Islam whose armies destroyed
the empires of Persia and Rome.
In response, Agha Khani and Shi'a extremist writers claimed
that this marriage never happened. So, here is the
documentation:
Here are quotes from two of the earliest classical
historians of Islam. They did not meet each other. They
lived in different times and were not living under Ummayad
rulers
"THE CHILDREN OF UMAR, r.a. : Zaid and Ruqayya. The mother
of both was Umm Kulthum the daughter of Ali, r.a., the son
of Abu Talib, the son of Abdul Mutallib, bin Hashim. The
mother of Umm Kulthum was Fatima, the daughter of the
Messenger of Allah, peace be on him." [ Tabaqat al-kubra,
vol. 3, by Muhammad ibn Sa'ad, died in 230 hijri.]
"Umar, r.a., also married Umm Kulthum, the daughter of Ali
ibn Abi Talib whose mother was Fatima, the daughter of the
Prophet, pbuh. Umar gave a big marriage gift.. From her he
had two children, Zayd and Ruqayya." Tarikh Umam wa
al-Muluk, Volume two, by Abu Jafar Jarir al-Tabari, died 310
hijri.]
When I published this, the sectarians claimed that there was
another Umm Kulthum, the daughter of Abu Bakr, r.a., who
married Umar, r.a., not the one who was the daughter of Ali,
r.a. Here is my documentation to clear up this
confusion.
Actually, there was a daughter of Abu Bakr, r.a., also named
Umm Kulthum. Umar, r.a., wanted to marry her but she refused
on the plea that Umar's life style was too strict and
difficult.
Then Umar, r.a., wanted to marry, Umm Kulthum, daughter of
Ali, r.a., and she accepted. In fact BOTH events, rejection
by one Umm Kulthum and acceptance by the other are given in
the SAME chapter of Tabari's Tarikh which I quoted
earlier.
Remember Tabari is the historian who gave DETAILS of the
TRAGEDY of KERBALA to such an extent that people say he was
Shia. No, he was simply a great historian.
Here is what he writes about Umm Kulthum, the daughter of
Abu Bakr, r.a.,
"Umar, r.a., asked for the hand in marriage of Umm kulthum
daughter of Abu Bakr, r.a. The message was sent through
Ayesha, r.a.. When Ayesha, r.a.,asked Umm Kulthum bint Abi
Bakr, she replied: 'I will not marry him." Ayesha, r.a.,
said: You are refusing to marry the Ameer of the Believers.
She replied: "He lives a very harsh life style and is very
strict with women."
[Tarikh Umam wa al-Muluk volume 3. Abu Jafar Jarir
Tabari.]
An episode from history shows the greatness of Umar, r.a,
and the modesty of Umm Kulthum.
According to authentic hadith narrative, during the marriage
of Umm Kulthum and Umar,r.a, the second Caliph of Islam, a
man from the eastern front in Khorasan brought a bag filled
with the precious jewels and diamonds captured from the
Persian rulers. He wanted to give it to Umar, r.a., in the
hope that Umar would reward him highly for such an expensive
gift. He went to the Caliph's home and saw him sitting on a
rough pillow. Umar, r.a., offered him a similar pillow and
then Umm Kalthum sent in the meal. It was a little olive oil
with a piece of bread and a piece of uncut salt. The man was
shocked to see the lifestyle of the most powerful ruler of
the world.
Umar, r.a., called out to his wife to come and sit with him.
She answered from behind a curtain that she could hear a
strange male voice with Umar, r.a. She said, you'll have to
buy me a special covering such as Jafar's son bought for his
wife [her sister] if you want me to come in front of
men.
Umar's, r.a., answer is worth quoting word for word:
"Is it not enough honor that men should say that Umm Kulthum
is the daughter of Ali ibn Abi Talib and the wife of the
ameer of the believers Umar?" [ Tarikh al-Umam wa al-Muluk,
by Abi Jafar Jarir al-Tabari, Hijri 310, Vol. 3 Urdu
translation.]
The point here is that when a woman is identified as part of
the Islamic revolution and works with its top echelons, a
little laxity in dress should not be a big ;problem. In our
times we have women wearing extremely strict hijab but going
to the White House Inaugural to support a ruler who endorses
homosexuality, or in other cases, sisters being told that
their prayers will not be accepted if a hair is showing.
[As the report continues, Umar, r.a., then scolded the man
who had brought the gift and told him to take it back to the
mujahideen on the front and distribute it carefully
otherwise, said Umar, r.a,, he would punish him severely.
Dear Muslims, we need such rulers.]
If a girl is married prepuberty then decides she doesn't
want to consummate the marriage. How can she leave it? The
husband often pays a huge bride price which her family can't
repay. Plus she has lived with his family. It usually ends
up with forced sex. This happens in Niger. When the imam was
asked he just said Islam allows it.
It's not even as good as being a prostitute, at least they
get to keep the money! How was this type of marriage
repudiated in the time of the Prophet. How was abuse
prevented?
Salaam
Shoaib [England]
Response by Br. Kaukab Siddique:
The Prophet, pbuh, prevented such abuses of Islamic Law by
making sure the community was fully aware of Allah's rights
for women. Men could not get away with any abuses. A
marriage based on control by parents was not acceptable. The
Prophet, pbuh, himself, did not take Ayesha, r.a., as his
wife for several years because he was not able to give her
the marriage gift.
So we have the role model, but the Ummah has gone bad. This
is best put in the words of Ali, r.a., the 4th Caliph. Ali,
r.a., was asked:
"Why did people obey Abu Bakr and Umar and they do not obey
you?"
His reply:
"Because Abu Bakr and Umar ruled over people like me and
Sa'ad and Usman and Talhah and others, and I am ruling over
people like you." [1]
Much of the Muslim masses today do not know what are the
rights of women in Islam. The problems in Niger and most
other Muslim countries are serious.
Basic causes:
Poverty
Illiteracy.
Ideas of "inward unity" in defensive response to
colonialism and European dominance.
The educated elites are alienated from the masses owing
to their mental submission to the West.
Political awareness is near zero. Look at how many
Egyptians, structurally in an advanced country, are
celebrating General Sisi's "victory."
Improvements and exceptions should be noted:
Peaceful Islamic movements like Jamaate Islami and Ikhwan
al-Muslimeen plus Hamas and Turkish supporters of Erdogan
have a higher level of awareness of women's rights as
compared to most Muslims. These however are much better than
15 years back but not quite up to the level of the
Prophet's, pbuh, teachings.
The jihad movements have a higher level of equality and
awareness than the peaceful movements. This happens because
the devastating attacks of the anti-Islamic forces make it
imperative for mujahideen to work closely with women. Even
in a rigidly male oriented society like Afghanistan, single
women who had lost their men in battle hid fighters in their
homes, carried ammunition for the fighters and transported
food. American occupiers killed some women fighters who were
shooting bazookas at them.
Westernized Muslim women. They often have good
understanding of their rights as Muslims but are not able to
influence the Muslim ummah because of their own life style
and sense of superiority.
Propaganda war against Islam: Western media, particularly
the Zionists, are looking for "dirt" in the Muslim world. If
they can find a negative story anywhere, they will make it a
global issue. Look at how they turned Malala, who was
working with US and Pakistani intelligence, into a crusader
for women's education, thus leaving out and ignoring
COMPLETELY the work being done by Jamaate Islami for women's
education. Malala was even feted at the White House.
Palestinian, Iraqi and Chechen women as well as many
Bangladeshis who stand against the West are simply ignored.
They are "non-persons" for the West.
Notice how the uprising of women in the Red Mosque and Jamia
Hafsa in Pakistan was totally ignored. Women in hijab who
fight back are a terrible problem for the West.
Notice how Kashmiri women have been ignored. They have stood
up to and suffered tremendously at the hands of a huge
Indian occupation army.
Islamic women in Libya played an important in the struggle
to end Qaddafi's regime. They too have been ignored in the
West.
The suffering of women in Syria has no equal. The major
media in America have not shown pictures of any Syrian women
brutalized by the criminal regime of Bashar Assad. The
monstrous crimes of the Alawites in Syria have few, if any,
equals in Muslim history. America's main interest is to
assure that the Islamic forces in Syria do not win, or if
they win they should be infiltrated by the one group America
favors. But the Syrian women are quite clear about their
rights in Islam.
Years back the situation was reversed when Iran's
revolutionary women were portrayed as backward and exploited
by men because they wore hijab.
The West is looking for and wants to video tape women who
are in hijab but are politically naïve or irrelevant
The Islamic uprising in Africa is in its initial stages.
Somalia, northern Nigeria, parts of Sudan and Mali are
taking the lead. Will women benefit from the uprising
remains to be seen. The West will probably kill the first
generation of fighters but the Islamic wave is quite
strong. If Boku Haram are successful, they will influence
Niger, inshallah.

Viewpoint
A Misconception of the term "WAHHABI"
by Zaheer Bawany [Canada]
What or Who is a "Wahhabi"?
There is a lot of ignorance and misconception about the term
"Wahhabi" isn't there? I find it truly sad that a lot, and I
mean a lot, of Muslims just blindly mimic what they see and
hear without even making the slightest effort to find out
for themselves what the truth actually is.
There is no such thing as a sect or group of Muslims who
call themselves Wahhabis. Who are they? What are their
beliefs? Their legislations? There are none. It's just an
offensive term used as an insult. It is only a lame mockery
about one of the greatest scholars of Islam; Muhammad ibn
Abdul-Wahhab.
This name, "Wahhabi" is based upon the misconception that
Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab had come with a new religion or a
new form of Islam which opposed the accepted norms of the
religion. But do you actually know who Muhammad ibn Abdul
Wahhab was? Do you know who this man was, what exactly he
called towards, and what he wrote about?
Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab was a scholar of Islam who was
born on the Arabian Peninsula about 200 years ago, at a time
when the religious practices of the people therein contained
polytheism, superstitions and sanctification of the saints
and graves, all of which are in clear opposition to the
Islamic texts.
When writing his works and in giving his da'wah, he
concentrated on bringing the people back to the correct
Tawheed and adherence to the following of the Sunnah. As he
was reviving the message of the Prophets, he faced many
obstacles and hardships and was severely opposed for
bringing about this call.
Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab was a scholar who called towards
Tawheed and the Sunnah, just like the thousands who had
already preceded him upon goodness. His creed was the same
as theirs, exactly as that of the Four Imaams and others of
the righteous Salaf.
He only became famous for his defense of this creed because
he came at a time when these false practices were so
widespread that he was essentially alone in his defense of
the truth.
To this day, he is seen in many parts of the Muslim world as
a deviant who had aimed to alter the religion of Islam. This
is a baseless lie, as can be seen if you would read his
books, which are well documented and widely available, even
in the English language. Most of his books are compilations
of texts from the Qur'an and Sunnah with a minimal amount of
his own wording between them.
The Messenger of Allaah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said,
"This knowledge will be carried by the trustworthy ones of
every generation; they will expel from it the alterations
made by those going beyond bounds, the false claims of the
liars and the false interpretations of the ignorant."
[Authenticated by Shaykh al-Albaani in al-Mishkaat - (no.
248)]
Shaykh ul-Islam Muhammd ibn Abdul-Wahhab was but a reformer
of the religion who aided the deen of Allaah and purified
Islam from unauthentic elements.
And do you know something else?
I personally find it extremely idiotic of the people who
coined the term "Wahhabi" because Al-Wahhab is one of the
lofty Names of Allaah. Al-Wahhab means The Bestower and
Abdul-Wahhab means Slave of The Bestower.
And to use this Name in a derogatory term against a person
and a people who only establish Tawheed? It's like cutting
off your nose to spite your own face. Because you're mocking
a people with the Names of Allaah. How foolish is that?
Ramadan Preparation. We can Start Changing our Habits.
Small Things Add Up
by Imam Badi Ali
These few observations listed (which I will include in
Spotlights) is so we can start changing ourselves and our
habits accordingly during this blessed month of Ramadan.
Be prepared for Ramadan, Set your Goals, and Defeat Bad
Habits, whining, complaining, and excuses.
Observe the objective of Ramadan: Taqwa [Awareness of
Allah.]
Be the Change you want to see
If you finish drinking your bottle of water, put it in the
recycle bin. If you did not finish drinking your bottle of
water, then take it with you. Do NOT leave it at the masjid.
From previous observations, my brothers and I have
collected hundreds of half-empty water bottles and coffee
cups inside and outside the masjid.
Do NOT be wasteful. Be mindful of what you can consume and
do not waste food and drinks. From previous observations
from the previous months of Ramadan, people waste a lot of
food. Remember you will be accounted for the food and the
drinks you are wasting. ALWAYS remember, take what you can
consume.
Keep our masjid CLEAN. The masjid is an Amanah and
Trust.
Clean after yourself.
Clean after your children. This is also a parenting tip
because you are teaching your children by example.
Keep our masjid and the premises of the masjid CLEAN. Do NOT
litter.
Put trash in its place.
Lend a helping hand during the month of Ramadan. Volunteer
at your masjid.
NO smoking means NO smoking. Remember, no harm. How dare you
smoke in the masjid premises. Ramadan is your opportunity to
defeat this habit.
Always give good advice to your brothers, sisters, and
children. Be an agent of change.
PLEASE BOYCOTT Zionist products. PLEASE BOYCOTT the Israeli
dates and Israeli products. PLEASE do NOT buy Coca-Cola or
Nestle products.
Instead of soda, serve your brothers and sisters with
water.

Government Retreats in Front of American "Concern." Save the
Children ban rescinded .
Charity Allegedly had Links to the CIA and helped Dr. Afridi
Look for Shaykh Osama bin Laden
On June 14, the Pakistani government removed the ban on Save
the Children organization after banning it on June 11.
Pakistan knows that this group has infiltrated the length
and breadth of Pakistan with 1200 employees.
In 2012 , the foreign workers of this group were ordered to
leave.
Here is the June 11 report:
June 11
[The viewpoint here is that of the Christian Science
Monitor.]
Pakistan shut down the Pakistan chapter of Save the Children
on Thursday evening for alleged ties to spying, after years
of acrimony between the government and the global aid
organizarion.
Police sources, speaking on condition of anonymity to
Reuters, said the aid agency was being shuttered because it
was involved in "anti-Pakistani projects." The orders were
traced back to the Ministry of Interior.
A lock was placed on the door at Save the Children's office
in the capital, Islamabad, and officials told Pakistani
workers that any foreign nationals working with the
organization had to leave the country within 15 days, The
Associated Press reports. The BBC says that Save the
Children has had no foreign employees in Pakistan for 18
months.
Save the Children said that the move came without warning,
adding in a statement that "We strongly object to this
action and are raising our serious concerns at the highest
levels."
Relations between the charity and Pakistan have soured amid
allegations by the Pakistani intelligence services that Save
the Children was linked to a Pakistani doctor recruited by
the CIA to help find Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad. Save the
Children has denied all allegations.
Pakistan Rising up against Atrocities which are Targeting
Rohingya Muslims.
Siraj ul Haq cites Crimes against Humanity
by Buddhist Terrorists with no Equal in Human History.
Siraj urges PM to convene Islamic summit on the issue
LAHORE, June 14; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, said that the Myanmar [Burmese] Muslims were
suffering brutalities unparalleled in human history but the
so called civilized society and human rights champions were
silent spectators.
Addressing a big protest demonstration organized by the JI
in D Chowk, Islamabad, to express solidarity with the
Rohangya Muslims, he wondered why those raising hue and cry
over animals rights were blind to the burning alive of
Rohangya youth and the molestation of their women folk.
Prominent Rohangya leader Abdullah Maruf, besides JI deputy
chief Mian Muhammad Aslam, and JI Punjab chief Dr Syed
Waseem Akhtar, also addressed the gathering which also
included large number of women and the Christian
community.
Sirajul Haq urged Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to convene
Islamic summit to announce a common strategy for the
protection of the Muslims all over the world, especially the
Rohangyas.
The JI chief deplored that the Muslim youth in Burma were
being slaughtered, the children were being burnt alive. The
pregnant women were being stripped naked, their infants were
pulled out and treated in most inhuman manner. The women and
children ere being killed and their blood was put before
dogs. All these brutalities were being committed in the
present so called civilized era. Thousands of women and
children in Burma had been killed like cattle but there was
no protest from any quarter. The UN and the OIC were least
perturbed over the bloodshed in Myanmar.
However, he said that keeping silent on such brutalities was
also unjust and it was time that the Pakistan government
stepped forward and played its due role to stop this.

Proof that Iranian Forces are Fighting & Dying for the
Tyrant of Syria
by Sam Wilkin [Excerpts]
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran is bringing home the body of a
top-ranking military officer killed in southern Syria,
Iranian news agencies reported, at least the second senior
Iranian to die there this year while supporting Damascus in
the war.
Hadi Kajbaf, a major general in the elite Islamic
Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), was killed near the
rebel-held town of Busr al-Harir, about 100 km (60 miles)
south of Damascus, the IRGC-linked Tasnim agency reported
late on Friday.
Three other Iranians were killed alongside Kajbaf including
a mid-ranking Shi'ite Muslim cleric, the semi-official Fars
news agency reported.
Iranian military and financial support have been crucial to
helping President Bashar al-Assad survive the war, now in
its fifth year. The conflict is a focal point for Shi'ite
Islamist Iran's power struggle with Sunni Saudi Arabia,
which supports the insurgents battling to topple Assad.
Southern Syria is one of the regions where Assad has faced
significant setbacks since March. The insurgents fighting
there include the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front and groups
that profess a more secular outlook and are backed by
Assad's Arab foes.
The late commander's son, Sajad Kajbaf, told Tasnim the body
was due to be flown to Iran on Friday night after being
delayed by a day. It was not clear how Iran had obtained the
body, which was taken by the rebels when he was killed.
An unknown number of Iranian military advisers have deployed
in Syria in support of the Syrian army and the militias
fighting alongside it. The Iranian-backed Lebanese group
Hezbollah is now deployed more widely than ever in
Syria.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani recently vowed to back the
Syrian government "until the end of the road" after the
battlefield setbacks suffered by Assad.
Iran, the world's major Shi'ite power, justifies its
intervention in Syria by portraying the mostly Sunni rebels
as hardline Sunni Islamist extremists. Islamic State and the
al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front are the two most powerful
insurgent groups in Syria today.
Iran projects power in the Middle East by allying with
regional proxies who follow Shi'ite Islam or its offshoots.
Assad belongs to the Alawite minority, an offshoot of
Shi'ism.

Homosexuality now an Essential Part of US Military.
Pentagon Gay Pride Event Marks New Era of Gay Rights in
Military
by Melanie Batley
[With thanks to Sis. Hamdiyya, Jamaat al-Muslimeen]
A married gay Army general introduced his spouse at a
Pentagon event attended by many of the military's top brass,
during an event to mark a new era of gay rights in the
military, The Washington Times reported.
"My husband, Lucas, is sitting up front here," Brig. Gen.
Randy Taylor said of the man in the same row as Defense
Secretary Ashton Carter, Army Secretary John McHugh, and
other senior officials.
He said Lucas had sacrificed elements of his own career to
support frequent moves over the 18 years they had been
together.
"We bet everything on my Army career," Gen. Taylor said.
Taylor served 27 years in the service during which there was
an outright ban on gays, then a "don't ask, don't tell"
policy, and finally a lifting of the ban in 2011 to allow
gays to serve openly, the Times reported.
Taylor was the master of ceremonies for the Pentagon's
Fourth Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Pride event at
which Carter announced that gay and lesbian troops would,
for the first time, be protected from discrimination by the
service's equal opportunity policy, USA Today reported.
"Discrimination of any kind has no place in America's armed
forces," Carter said, adding that the military needs "to be
a meritocracy."
"Recognizing that our openness to diversity is one of the
things that [has] allowed us to be the best in the world, we
must ensure that everyone who's able and willing to serve
has the full and equal opportunity to do so," he said. "And
we must start from a position of inclusivity, not
exclusivity.
The change will mean that complaints about discrimination
based on sexual orientation will be investigated by the
Military Equal Opportunity program, which is also the office
that investigates other forms of discrimination such as
race, religion, color, sex, age and national origin.
"With this policy revision, we are now ensuring that service
members are afforded protection against discrimination in
the department's military equal opportunity program,
provided to all military members," said Lt. Cmdr. Nathan
Christensen, a Pentagon spokesman, according to USA
Today.
Before the change in policy, gay and lesbian troops were
forced to register discrimination complaints with inspector
general offices.
The change in policy, however, does not apply to transgender
soldiers, the LA Times reported, and LGBT groups called on
military leaders to extend the protection so that they, too,
could serve openly.
"It's incredibly important to note that we absolutely cannot
leave our transgender service members behind," Ashley
Broadway-Mack, the group's president, said in a statement,
according to the LA Times. "We again urge Secretary Carter
to also order a full and comprehensive review to update the
outdated regulations that prevent transgender service
members from serving."

Helping Political Prisoners is Part of our Faith. Proof from
Hadith.
by Sis. Karin Freidemann
The National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms (NCPCF) has
announced their Fourth Annual Ramadan gift campaign for
Muslim prisoners, who have been the victims of overzealous
pre-emptive prosecution, entrapment, and false charges.
NCPCF was created "to educate the public about the erosion
of civil and political freedoms in our society, and the
abuses of prisoners within the U.S. criminal justice system
especially after 9/11." It is a collection of weak
organizations, which need our help to grow stronger and
advocate more effectively.
Dozens of American Muslims are living out long prison
sentences under abusive conditions and solitary confinement.
These are people who are so beloved to Allah that they are
being tested. And we ourselves are being tested in
relationship to them.
It has been narrated by Saeed through his chain from Hibban
bin Jabalah, that the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said:
"Indeed it is obligatory upon the Muslims to free their
captives or to pay their ransoms." It is not easy for us in
America to pay for someone's freedom - or even pay for their
lawyer fees - but we can still make a huge difference to the
life of someone caged and helpless.
Those prisoners who have no family in the US, nor a network
of friends, may have no money in their commissary. Prisoners
need money to be able to make phone calls, or buy razors,
toilet paper, toothpaste, stamps and paper as well as
snacks.
"The Federal Bureau of Prisons allows for special purchase
of Ramadan items (such as dates) during this holy month and
NCPCF would like to send the money as soon as possible so
the inmates can receive them before mid June."
This Ramadan, NCPCF is seeking 180 individuals to donate
$105 to a Muslim in America's prisons. The $5 would pay for
the money transfer fee. This is an opportunity to help
someone you don't already know about, to go beyond the high
profile cases that already have a lot of supporters taking
care of their everyday needs. But even the high profile
cases, after some time, the world forgets about them. I
wrote to one prisoner at CMU after about 8 years of
incarceration, who told me that although he used to be well
known and respected in the community, nobody but his mother
corresponded with him anymore. He had even stopped receiving
photos of his children. He requested me to send money to
another Muslim prisoner who did not even have shampoo.
If you already have a previously established relationship
with a prisoner, please consider them also when you are
calculating your zakat. If you don't have the money at least
send them a card! There are also volunteer organizations
which drive children to visit their parents in prison.
Other ways to help prisoners is to make dua: "ALLAHumma
fukka qayda asrana wa asral-muslimeen (O ALLAH! Break free
the shackles of our prisoners and the prisoners of the
Muslims)." This dua is important because we also need to
care about the prisoners in Muslim countries too. The goal
of Islam regarding captives is to free them and integrate
them into society.
Please send your check to: NCPCF, Ramadan Gifts Program,
P.O. Box 66301, Washington, DC 20035. When you make a
donation please email them at donate@civilfreedoms.org and
tell them that you have sent a donation.
Abu Dawud mentions the hadith narrated by Abu Talha
Al-Ansari and Jabir Bin Abdullah, that the Prophet Muhammad
(SA) said, "No man forsakes a Muslim when his rights are
being violated or his honour is being belittled except that
Allah will forsake him at a place in which he would love to
have His help. And no man helps a Muslim at a time when his
honour is being belittled or his rights violated except that
Allah will help him at a place in which he loves to have His
help."

Min. Farrakhan's Bold Move.
The Evil of Pamela Geller: She Insists on Insulting the
Prophet, Pbuh
Justice or Else....
New York City - On today's episode of Community Cop (local
NYC cable activist program), Michael Greys, a member of the
panel, announced that Min. Louis Farrakhan held a meeting of
the minds, yesterday. He wants to hold another commemoration
of the Million Man March on October 10, 2015 and the theme
will be "Justice or Else!" It will focus on the urban
uprisings that have been taking place in response to violent
acts committed by police officers throughout America.
"Justice or Else" is a very bold statement to make. It
almost borders on the Malcolm X's "By Any Means Necessary"
remark and philosophy. No public Black leader has come close
to this type of sentiment, as of yet.
Other discussions in the program was how bail is set with
the intentions of keeping poor people in jail. It's original
intention was to make sure that you would appear for trial.
Under normal circumstances, you pay your bail and then, it
is returned to you after you show up for your court
appearances. But, corrupt judges are using it to punish the
poor. Of course, the silence of M.I.A. H.N.I.C.'s President
Obama and Attorney General Lynch had been duly noted.
What some African-Americans are slowly recognizing is that
it is no fluke that these H.N.I.C.'s are in the positions
that they are in to run the White man's companies or
country. The White devil has created a well oiled machine
that supports his tyrannical rule and he is not going to
jeopardize that by choosing anyone with anti-oppressive
mindset. These politicians are chosen years before any of
the so-called voter rights activists are aware of it. But,
any preparation on the people's part is not going to matter
because the political, educational, and judicial systems are
where the White man's power resides. The people's power is
outside this corrupt web like Malcolm X said so many years
ago.
The Only Black Man to Get Away (Temporarily)
Sis. Karin Friedmann's in-depth article on Usamaa Rahim's
murder by the FBI resonated with me. It got me thinking
about innocent Muslims and activists outright murdered by
law enforcement and it brought me back to O.J. Simpson - The
One That Got Away, according to many White Americans.
Anytime there is some quark with the justice system, many
White Americans always say the same thing, "it's like O.J.
all over again." Of course, this is an erroneous
exaggeration to make, especially taking into consideration
the high amount of injustice that takes place in non-White
communities. However, people from all communities are
affected by these injustices.
O.J. Simpson was accused of murdering his White ex-wife,
Nicole Simpson, and her Jewish friend, Ron Goldman. O.J.
Simpson cooperated with the police earlier in their
investigation but, when he became a suspect he ran. The
famous white bronco chase was born with a gang of police
cars chasing Simpson in that SUV. What saved O.J.'s life and
prevented him from dying in a hail of bullets was the fact
that all of America was watching The Chase on every news
station, as well.
The dog is the White man's best friend and the camera is the
Black man's best friend. At least, the camera can expose
injustice but, it doesn't mean you will get justice,
unfortunately.
When it comes to defending oneself against law enforcement,
Whites are given the benefit of the doubt. There is no
question that when law enforcement approaches anyone to
serve warrants or for questioning, they can be rather
threatening. Take the case of the Houston Brothers. When a
deputy and a police officer tried to serve an arrest
warrant, a shootout ensued at their Tennessee home. Both the
deputy and the police officer were killed. The Houston
Brothers were acquitted, in the same state that prevented
the establishment of a Muslim cemetery, because it could not
be proven who shot whom first! Their arrogance really showed
when they posted the dead bodies of the two law enforcement
agents on a billboard on their property, which served as a
warning to other rogue government agents.
Now, consider Imam Jamil Al-Amin and his wrongful conviction
for killing a U.S. Marshal in Atlanta. He and a younger
Muslim brother were speaking when two marshals arrived to
serve Imam Jamil with an arrest warrant. However, the
younger brother, who actually did the shooting, stated that
both marshals approached them in a threatening manner. He
said he shot the marshal in self-defense however, the FBI
framed Imam Jamil for this act. He did not even fit the
description of the shooter, who was 5'9" with grey eyes.
Imam Jamil is 6'8" with brown eyes. The media was also
present for his capture and arrest because he was also a
fugitive.
Now, you take Usamaa Rahim, who was shopping and approached
by a gang of FBI agents with the intention "questioning"
him. They claim he made a move and shot him down in the
street. Why does questioning result in the murder of Muslim
men? This definitely was a planned execution to set an
example to the weaker Muslim masses to stay silent.
Unfortunately, most of have done just that.
The Muslims need to form a law enforcement watchdog group
that speaks out on issues of injustice involving everyone,
not just us. That would give us more credibility and support
from the oppressed masses.
Zionist Pig Pamela Geller and Her Mission
"Surely you will find strongest (of) the people (in) enmity
to those who believe, the Jews and those who (are)
polytheists....." (5:82).
Zionist Pig Pam Geller is bragging that there are 100
billboards in St. Louis with a caricature of Prophet
Muhammad and the caption "Support Free Speech." Her mission
is to get more billboards created and placed in other cities
but, she is very disappointed in the lack of willingness of
government sectors and private sectors in supporting such an
insulting campaign. The idea of someone targeting a culture
to antagonize and hiding behind the law to do it is
ludicrous.
Owing to Black protests and other campaigns, the White media
no longer uses insulting Black racial stereotypes in
cartoons or movies. However, I still complain about those
Charlie Chan movies and those spaghetti westerns with White
actors playing Native Americans. The station's retort is
that these movies are classics and that they are sorry I
don't appreciate that. Can you believe that arrogant White
supremacist response?
However, the White media's views may change and they may
cancel those Charlie Chan if the Chinese Americans can
leverage their relationship with new world super power
China. You see, these White devils don't respect people.
They only fear losing money and if a boycott or a financial
relationship is threatened then, they change their tune and
"respect" you. But, it is not morality that causes them to
do the right thing but, a fear of retribution. The devil's
nature has been apparent all along.
No thanks to ISNA, ICNA, CAIR,or MSA, there are people who
are puzzled by Pamela Geller's efforts to insult a Holy
Prophet (pbuh) who has nothing to do with her and then, hide
behind the Constitution. Well, she is allowed to hide behind
the Constitution. She had the audacity to say that the
Muslims are just going to have to put up with being
offended. She pointed out that the Roman Catholics have
learned to do this and the Mormons because of the offensive
play Book of Mormon, which is produced by Jews. Of course,
Judaism was never mentioned because it is off limits.
We already know these Zionist Jews to be hypocrites. We also
know that not every billboard message would be sanctioned
through freedom of speech. Billboard advertising is very
expensive and Pamela Geller is being heavily funded by the
Zionists.
We should have our own social media campaigns rooted in the
Shariah. In other words, not some ridiculous campaign about
how much Muslims love America or Islam is against terrorism!
These messages are rooted in kuffarism/assimilation. The
bootlickers don't have the backbone to believe and say,
"Islam take it or leave it!" Their inane, "Please, love me,
don't hurt me" messages do more harm than good, right now.
This was the schism during the Civil Rights Era between the
placating Blacks and the so-called militant Blacks, many of
whom were Muslim or would later become Muslim.
The job of Muslims is not to change people's attitudes but,
behavior because we can only judge people by their behavior.
Only Allah has jurisdiction over one's mind and attitude. He
can actually change that. This is why the White oppressor
loves those assimilators because their focus is on getting
people to like them, whereas the so-called militants focus
on righting the behavior and getting respect. Focusing on
changing attitudes is a futile effort and it has not worked,
yet. Not really. Some new scapegoat or punching bag replaces
the old ones. This society's White supremacist attitudes
have never changed.
While the Pamela Gellers are being allowed to hide behind
the Constitution as they antagonize the Muslim World,
Muslims are being murdered, in cold blood, for our beliefs
by law enforcement. What a blatant, brazen disparity!
