Hadith of the Week

Abu Huraira, r.a., reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to his companions while they were laughing, and the Prophet said:

By the one in whose hand is my soul, if you knew what I knew, you would laugh little and weep often.

The Prophet departed and the people started weeping, so Allah Almighty revealed to him:

O Muhammad, why have you made my servants despair?

The Prophet returned and he said:

Give glad tidings, follow the right course, and seek nearness to Allah.

Alexandria, Virginia
ICNA Mosque
ICNA: No Issue except Collection of Funds.


On June 14, Jamaat al-Muslimeen activists gave out a 5-page Jamaat document to 35 Muslims after Juma salat.
ICNA's mosque is hidden in suburbia, within the convolutions of rich people's homes in a section of well -to- do Alexandria.

The khutba was so pointless that it outdid the Sajudi khutba which Sis. Nadrat has criticized.

The only thing of importance to ICNA is the collection of funds. A very large banner proclaimed:
ICNA RELIEF.

This group which began as an Islamic group is now merely a charitable and picnic group which makes young people feel that they are doing something for Islam.

The only time they were challenged was when five young men from this community decided to go to Pakistan to help the families of injured Taliban. ICNA reported their departure to CAIR and CAIR reported to the FBI. The five were arrested in Pakistan and the regime there treated them as supporters of terrorism. They were "tried" within the prison and disappeared from the public eye.

Here is an outline of the five- page document given to 35 people at the ICNA masjid:

  1. Intro to the disaster caused by the Sufi sect to the Muslim World.

  2. Ferocious battles in Syria. Russian bombing.

  3. Baluchistan. Pakistani military atrocities.

  4. USA. "Gay" Agenda and Children.

  5. Jamaat shoora coming up.

Warnings of Effort to 'Maneuver the US Into a War' as Trump Officials Rush to Blame Iran for Attacks on Gulf Tankers
Jake Johnson - Common Dreams

As Trump administration officials rushed to blame Iran for the reported attacks on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday, the timing and apparent target of the explosions immediately prompted warnings that they may have been part of a deliberate effort to provoke a war between the U.S. and Iran. The alleged attacks, which set a Japanese-owned tanker ablaze, came as Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe met with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in an attempt to reduce dangerous military tensions between the Iran and the U.S ... According to Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), an Iranian rescue vessel picked up 44 sailors and brought them to safety following the tanker explosions. It is unclear how much damage was done to the tankers or whether anyone was harmed by the reported attacks.

Book Review

Muslims and Hitler. He was not our Enemy.
Shocking Facts revealed by Research.
Palestine, Stalingrad, Berlin


Book: Islam and Nazi Germany's War
by David Motadel
Belknap Press, 2017

It might come as a shock to the reader that "six Muslim battalions" took part in the defense in Berlin in 1945, near the end of the war, when many Germans saw no hope.

Even in the hopeless defense of Stalingrad, "three Muslim battalions" stood their ground.

As can be expected, the writer hates Hitler and the Third Reich and despises Muslims. However it is a research work and he brings out numerous facts which are unknown to most people.

The purpose of the book seems to be support the claim that Germany was simply using Muslims and that other western countries have tried to do the same. However the writer's own research undermines the claims he wants to make. The facts speak for themselves.

It is true that Britain and France used Muslims to fight Germany. However these were mercenaries and ordinary soldiers working for pay. By contrast, the Muslims fighting for Germany were highly motivated and truly beiieved that with the help of Germany, they could undermine, or at least weaken the Soviet, French and British empires. Evidently they succeeded to some extent.

As the war proceeded Hitler was betrayed by most of the people he trusted. The only people he trusted to the end and who never betrayed him were the Muslims.

Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Palestine, was highly regarded by Hitler and garnered international Muslim support for Germany. Thus Germany was the first and only European country which supported Palestine with no strings attached.

There are numerous quotes in the book from Hitler and his closest associates in praise of Muslim fighting abilities, their trustworthiness and their faith. There are also indications that ordinary Germans often did not like Muslims. However the seeds of trust were sown by the German leaders. It should be no surprise that Germany today is willing to take in 500,000 Muslim refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and African countries.





Editorial

 Dr Kaukab Siddique

Sufism Has Undermined the Islamic Message by Emphasizing Intercessors.
Sufis are Praying for the Dead Ignoring the Living.

By Kaukab Siddique
[Continued from New Trend's June 9 issue.]

Allah Almighty created equality for the believers by teaching that every believer can pray directly to Allah. All he or she has to do is to raise the hands and say : O Allah and then plead for needs and wishes. Islam not only removed priesthood but also the limits of space and structures.:

"It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to hm than his jugular vein."
[The Qur'an 50:16.]

A Muslim does not have to go to anyone to get sins forgiven or to seek repentance.. Allah is there for all of us:

"The revelation of this Book is from Allah, Exalted in Power, full of Knowledge Who forgives sin, accepts repentance, strict in punishment, and has a long reach in all things. There is no god but He. To Him is the final goal. [40:2-3.]

The believers' relationship is directly with Allah. There is no intercessor. Anyone who wants intermediaries is involved in the deadly sin of SHIRK.:

"When My servants ask you concerning Me, I am indeed close to them. I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on Me.: Let them also, with a will listen to My call, and believe in Me: that they may walk in the right way." [2:186.]

Education, teaching, learning, self-improvement, self-purification, obligatory prayers, fasting are all important but these are all means to an end,which is direct worship of Allah.

If the individual initiative is taken away, the personal connection is taken away, then we are left with waiting for saviors, hoping that the Mahdi will come, or our leader or imam will save us from hell fire.

Muslims are constantly waiting for someone else to solve their problems. When the mujahideen rise up, we just watch.

Muslims are easily recruited by the unbelievers. As long as they can pray and "make du'a" they do not follow the commands of Allah.

In America, things have come to such a pass that Muslims are working for the Pentagon and the FBI. In fact prayers are held in these facilities.

When the British conquered India, a British general heard the adhan and asked his Muslim collaborator, what is the muezzin saying. He was told that he s saying: God is the greatest. The British general was upset and said:

This is rebellion.The British monarch is the greatest.

His "Muslim" friend said: Don't worry: The mullah does not understand what Allahu Akbar really means.

Polite but Rigorous Critique of Imran Khan Regime
by Qaiser Sharif

LAHORE, June 13; Deputy chief of the Jamaat e Islami, Liaqat Baloch, has said that the progress, prosperity and stability of Pakistan lies in the adoption of the Islamic system, justice, elimination of corruption and equitable distribution of the country's resources. He was talking to the delegations of the Ulema from Sindh and Balochistan at Mansoora.

He said that the next year budget was steeped in huge loans, interest and gratis and would increase poverty, price hike, unemployment and anarchy. He said that loan based economy was a curse while self reliance would restore the country's image.

The JI deputy chief said that immediately after the presentation of the budget,

The prices of sugar, ghee, pulses and chicken had gone up and the common man had been crushed. He said that the increase in the electricity tariff and gas price would serve as the last straw for the destruction of the country's economy.

Commenting on the enquiry commission for the loans, Liaqat Baloch said that the commission should cover all the civil and military governments of the past. He further said that the ratio of loans secured by the PTI government during the last ten months was higher as compared to the past and the commission should also probe into it. Besides, he said, the commission should comprise of high level judicial figures and not of the representatives of the state institutions,

Rights of Children
by Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, June 13; Secretary General, Jamaat e Islami, Amirul Azeem, has in a message on World Child Day, said that while the day was formally observed in the country , around twenty million children were forced to do child labour and they did not enjoy any protection or security at the official level.

He said the government made tall claims of spreading education whereas the fact remained that fifteen million children were out of the schools which caused them get involved in crimes.

Amirul Azeem said that what to talk of the State of Madina, the country was not providing any protection to the women and children as a second or third rate state as all state institution remained totally indifferent in this respect. He further said that Pakistan was at number three as for unemployment was concerned.

He said the situation was alarming and a national enquiry commission should be set up to work out the mechanism to deal with the problem. He said the commission should include the government , the opposition and other stake holders.

June 10.

An American analysis published in the NY Times indicates that US forces cannot defeat or destroy ISIS in Afghanistan. American Special forces are fighting but can only contain the Islamic State, not destroy it. Even as IS fighters are killed, as many or more join its forces. In Nangarhar province, the fighters are well established in what is the most rugged area in the world. [Readers might remember that Trump dropped the biggest bomb he had in this area: MOAB.
No effect though 100 were killed.]

Huge Jamaat e Islami rally Against Rising Prices and Imran Khan's Surrender to IMF.
by Qaiser Sharif

LAHORE, June 16; Addressing thousands of people joining Jamaat e Islami's Awami march against price spiral, unemployment and IMF slavery at the Shahrah e Quaid e Azam, Ameer, JIP, Senator Sirajul Haq, announced that the party would hold such marches in all big cities of the country.

He said the government had removed elected Finance Minister Asad Umar , inducted an IMF agent in his place and handed over to him the keys of the public exchequer as well.

Thousands of women and children also joined the march which began from the Masjid e Shuhada and terminated at Chairing cross where the JI leaders addressed the crowd. The participants carried banners condemning the unending price spiral, ever increasing unemployment and the government decisions placing the homeland in IMF slavery.

JI Secretary General Amirul Azeem, JI deputy chiefs Dr Farid Ahmed Piracha and Abdul Ghaffar Aziz, were also present. JI Lahore chief Zikrullah Mujahid also addressed.

Sirajul Haq said that next year,s budget had resulted in the rise in the prices of essential items, including pulses, Atta, sugar, cement and cooking oil and multiplied the miseries of the common man. The prices of medicines had also increased tremendously.

He said the JI could not remain silent on the indifference of the government to the hardships of the masses. It would organize the nation against injustice and oppression and launch a full-fledged movement for this purpose. He said the next Awami march would be held at Faisalabad on June 23.

 Jamaat e Islami

He however said the objective of the JI movement was to free the masses from the oppressive price hike and the IMF slavery and it would not join any campaign aiming at securing the release of people put into jails.

Sirajul Haq said that out of next year's budget, a huge sum of Rs. 2828 billion would go to the payment of interest on loans. He said the real objective was to put the country into chains through heavy loans and then to usurp its independence.

He said the Prime Minister had said that governing the country was not much difficult. He said if the Prime Minister was aware of the hardships of the masses, especially hunger and poverty, he would not have uttered these words.

The JI chief said that the Prime Minister after assuming his office, had promised that he would not tell a lie to the nation. But now he was taking U- turn on every issue. Again, he said that Imran Khan had also said that begging from the IMF was tantamount to suicide but now he had placed the economic system and the public exchequer at the hands of the IMF.

The Prime Minister, he said, had talked of the Madina state but now he was even uttering objectionable remarks about the Sahaba of the holy Prophet ( PBUH)

He said that the government had also raised the expenses for Hajj and Umrah.

[How dare you critique Einstein! [Yes he does!]
Inconvenient History

Albert Einstein: Time Magazine's Undeserving Person of the Century
By John Wear

In 1999 Albert Einstein was named Time Magazine's person of the 20th century.[1] This article will discuss whether Einstein deserved this award.

Physicist. Albert Einstein is regarded by many people as the greatest physicist of the 20th century.[2] His unique contributions are said to have revolutionized physics.

However, many physicists dispute the revolutionary nature of Einstein's discoveries. Physicist Frank J. Tipler writes:

Most physicists now recognize that Einstein's theory of relativity is not a revolutionary theory at all but a completion of classical physics. Einstein's most subtle biographer, Abraham Pais, has conceded this, but also maintained that Einstein's invention of quantum mechanics, in his 1905 paper on the photoelectric effect, was still revolutionary.

I disagree. Einstein's invention of quantum mechanics was, once again, a conservative innovation-conservative in the traditional sense of preserving the classical structure of Newtonian physics."[3]

Christopher Jon Bjerknes accuses Einstein of plagiarism. Bjerknes writes:

Many people knew that Einstein did not hold priority for much of what he wrote. He, himself, was keenly aware of it. It is not uncommon for grandiose myths to accrue to overly idealized popular figures, such as Albert Einstein. Theoretical Physics, as a field, was small, and not well known in the period from 1905-1919. Theoretical physicists were not well known, and, since those in the field knew that Einstein was a plagiarist, they largely ignored him...Einstein evinced a career-long pattern of publishing "novel" theories and formulae after others had already published similar words, then claimed priority for himself. He did it with E = mc². He did it with the so-called special theory of relativity and he did it with the general theory of relativity.[4]

While I don't understand physics well enough to know if Bjerknes's analysis is accurate, it is certain that many physicists had little regard for Einstein in his later years. Robert Oppenheimer, for example, visited the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in January 1935. In a letter to his brother Frank, Oppenheimer conveyed his reaction to the occupants of Fine Hall at Princeton: "Princeton is a madhouse: its solipsistic luminaries shining in separate & helpless desolation. Einstein is completely cuckoo..."[5]

Oppenheimer also said in private that Einstein had no understanding of or interest in modern physics, and that Einstein had been wasting his time trying to unify gravitation and electromagnetism.[6]

Physicist Freeman Dyson was a colleague of Einstein's from 1948 to 1955 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Dyson had a strong desire to meet and know Einstein when he arrived at the Institute. However, after reading Einstein's recent scientific papers, Dyson decided they were junk. Dyson spent the next seven years avoiding Einstein so that he would not have to tell Einstein his work was junk.[7]

Physicist David Bodanis writes about Einstein's later years: "Einstein's peers regarded him as a has-been. Even many of his closest friends no longer took his ideas seriously.[8]

Einstein Supported Zionism

In an article published in the November 26, 1938 edition of Collier's magazine, Albert Einstein explained how the social creed and morality inbred in most Jews, which he attempted to live by, was part of a long and proud tradition. Einstein wrote: "The bond that has united the Jews for thousands of years and that unites them today is, above all, the democratic ideal of social justice coupled with the ideal of mutual aid and tolerance among all men."[9] Einstein later wrote that Karl Marx lived and sacrificed himself for the ideal of social justice.[10]

Einstein wrote about the Jewish tradition: "The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice, and the desire for personal independence-these are the features of the Jewish tradition which make me thank my stars that I belong to it."[11]

Einstein came to embrace the cause of Zionism. He wrote to a friend in October 1919: "One can be an internationalist without being indifferent to members of one's tribe. The Zionist cause is very close to my heart...I am glad that there should be a little patch of earth on which our kindred brethren are not considered aliens." Einstein further declared: "I am, as a human being, an opponent of nationalism. But as a Jew, I am from today a supporter of the Zionist effort."[12]

Einstein worked hard to promote Zionism and to establish the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He wrote to German/Jewish chemist Fritz Haber:

Despite my emphatic internationalist beliefs, I have always felt an obligation to stand up for my persecuted and morally oppressed tribal companions. The prospect of establishing a Jewish university fills me with particular joy, having recently seen countless instances of perfidious and uncharitable treatment of splendid young Jews with attempts to deny their chances of education.[13]

Battle for Senate Presidency, Speakership: NSCIA replies to CAN

The demand for religious balancing in the election and appointment of the leadership of the 9th National Assembly by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has been criticised by its Muslim counterpart- the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA).

The Muslim group in a statement signed by its Deputy Secretary-General, Salisu Shehu, described CAN's call as indecorous, ill-advised, ill-motivated and only aimed at polarising the country.

It said that it doubted the sincerity of the religious body and suggested that based on its recent interventions in the nation's political affairs, CAN should rather metamorphose into a political party.

A JAPANESE SCIENTIST DISCOVERS THE SECRETS OF ZAMZAM WATER ... {!}

Science, at a very later stage, reveals new secrets about Zamzam water.

Emoto took a sample of Zamzam water, and said:
"I couldn't crystallize it, even by diluting the water by 1,000."

Following was written by Dr. Masaru Emoto....

'The quality/purity of Zamzam water will not be found anywhere else in the water on this earth...!

He used the technology named NANO, and researched a lot on Zamzam water. And found out that if one drop of Zamzam water mix in 1000 drops of regular water, regular water will get the same quality like Zamzam water. He also found that a mineral in one drop of Zamzam water has its own importance that will not be found in any other water on this earth. he also found in some tests that the quality or ingredients of Zamzam water can not be changed ! why... ???

Science does not know the reason. he re-cycled the Zamzam water, but there was no change, it was still pure. 'Subhan'Allah'~Surely this is a Miracle of Allah's...!

ZamZam water level is around 10.6 feet below the surface.

It is the miracle of Allah that when ZamZam was pumped continuously for more than 24 hours with a pumping rate of 8,000 liters per second, water level dropped to almost 44 feet below the surface.

BUT WHEN THE PUMPING WAS STOPPED, the level immediately elevated again to 13 feet after 11 minutes. 8,000 liters per second means that 8,000 x 60 = 480,000 liters per minute 480,000 liters per minutes means that 480,000 x 60 = 28.8 Million liters per hour And 28.8 Million liters per hour means that 28,800,000 x 24 = 691.2 Million liters per day

So they pumped 690 Millions liters of Zamzam in 24 hours, but it was re-supplied in 11 minutes only... ! There are 2 Miracles here... !

The first that 'Zamzam' was re-filled immediately, & the second is that Allah [SWT] Holds the extraordinarily powerful Aquifer for not throwing extra Zamzam out of the well, otherwise the world would SINK.

Allah says in the Holy Qur'an... 'We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that HE is a witness over all things.'
