Abdullah ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, pbuh,
said:,
"Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his
flock. The leader of people is a guardian and is responsible
for his subjects. A man is the guardian of his family and he
is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her
husband's home and his children and she is responsible for
them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of
his master and he is responsible for it. No doubt, every one
of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock."
Laila Yaghi Grieves over her Innocent Son Ziyad:
9 years in US Prison.
Today, 9 years ago, they took my son and imprisoned him on
charges that one day he might harm someone!!! Our lives have
changed dramatically. So much grief and pain for no
reason!!!
Are Muslims becoming like the Bani Israel, Awaiting the
Wrath of Allah? Qur'an is a book of Guidance, not of stories
& History.
Look at the tremendous wealth given to the Saudis and they
wasted it.
Look at Muslim silence over massacres in Syria, Iraq,
Kashmir, Rohingya, Palestine, Nigeria, Egypt.
On July 27, Br. Kaukab Siddique gave the juma khutba and led
prayers at Masjid Jamaat al-Muslimeeen in Baltimore,
Maryland.
As it's a small masjid, an outline of the khutba is given
here for distribution online countrywide, inshaAllah.
Text: And Moses came unto you with clear proofs (of Allah's
Sovereignty), yet, while he was away, ye chose the calf (for
worship) and ye were wrong-doers. [The Qur'an 2:92]
Many Muslims in America do not realize that our leader is
Muhammad, pbuh, the Qur'an was sent to him, and his life is
the example for us.
The Qur'an gives high praise to Abraham, Moses and Jesus,
Maryam and others, peace be on them. These are all in the
PAST tense. They have not left a book or an example for us
to follow. In fact their followers garbled the revelations
they received and added stories from their own side for
which they had no authority.
Look at sura al-Baqarah. Verse after verse, it gives us
the story of Moses, pbuh, and the Bani Israel. ["Jews" is a
much later name. They were called Bani Israel.]
In each instance, the Bani Israel were given great
bounties and blessings by Allah and they were always trying
to find ways to skirt around, disobey or misinterpret the
revelations sent by Allah. The entire nation was shaded from
the sun and fed from the sky and yet they were not
thankful.
The worship of the calf is symbolic of their attachment
to the goods of the world and their lack of acceptance of
Allah's Will [other than a few among them[.
Jesus, pbuh, came with the greatest miracles to the Jews
but he got only 12 disciples and the Jews insisted that he,
pbuh, be crucified.
Yayha, pbuh, who was the harbinger of Jesus, was beheaded.
They have fabricated obscene and ugly stories about Mariam,
peace be on her.
Part 2.
Like the Bani Israel, [Jews], the Muslims of Arabia under
Saudi rule were given the great blessing they had not
created, wealth of oil. They got so much wealth that they
built entire cities with it and even disfigured Makka and
Madinah with their signs of wealth and power. Their
ancillary in UAE has gone even beyond them in the arrogance
of worldly power.
Right across from the Saudi domain are the poverty
stricken lands of Somalia, Sudan and most of Africa. The
blessing given to the Saudis was not distributed to the
needy as it is commanded in the Qur'an.
The entire Ummah is being infected with the carelessness
of the Arabian heartland. Look at the sectarians massacring
the Muslims in Syria and Iraq! Afghanistan destroyed by
NATO! Look at the Hindus terrorizing Kashmir! Look at the
Buddhists of Burma slaughtering the defenseless
Rohingyas.{News about the horrors in western China ae
starting to come out].
Palestine is occupied. Genocide of the Palestinians has
been forgotten. Instead Muslim rulers want to recognize
Israel. Thankless for the great resources given by Allah, we
have forgotten the lessons about the Bani Israel [Jews]
given at length in Sura Baqarah and other chapters of the
Qur'an. Copying the "interfaith" people we habitually refer
to the "Abrahamic" faiths. No, we are the Ummah of Muhammad,
pbuh.
Some Muslims, like the Jews, are trying to corrupt the
meaning of their holy texts. They don't accept hadith. So
they want to interpret the Qur'an as they wish. I ask them:
How many times should you do TAWAF? They can't answer
because it is only in Hadith. I ask them, why does the
Qur'an say : Safa and Marwa are Shaer Allah. They can't
answer because it is only in Hadith. And so on.
Du'a: Ya Allah, help us to study the Qur'an and the
authentic hadith. Give us unity based on Qur'an and hadith.
Give us spouses and children who will stand with us for
Islam.
PAKISTAN
Elections: Can Imran Khan Bring about Change?
Why Can't the Islamic Parties Win?
[New Trend's Pakistan Monitor]
Here are our notes on Pakistani elections of July 25.
Imran Khan is definitely a better person than Nawaz
Sharif and his group.
IK took a big step forward on the personal level when he
married Bushra bibi, a spiritual hijabi niqabi woman. She in
fact addressed the nation on the occasion of IK's
declaration of victory. With his spotless character and his
spiritual wife, IK is a highly favored leader.
The elections were very well conducted and there were no
complaints till the end of the voting. Pakistanis showed
great discipline.
NEGATIVE POINTS
Imran Khan is loyal to Islam in a peripheral way and has
very little knowledge of Islam. The Islamic groups, all of
them, are very critical of him.
Most of Punjab is the stronghold of Nawaz Sharif. IK's
competition with NS could destabilize Pakistan's only stable
province: Punjab.
There are strong indications that the military cleared
the way for IK by tainting, indicting and imprisoning Nawaz
Sharif and his daughter.
IK seems to be soft on India and America. He might
improve in these areas but more likely he will not be able
to be tough.
The great majority of the population did not support his
election. About 45 to 50% did not vote at all.
What happened to the Islamic groups?
The Islamic segments of the electorate could not unite.
The Brelvi [mostly supporting Nazwaz Sharif] and the
Deobandi could not stop mutual opposition..
Islam does not support elections in a context which is
heavily unIslamic and corrupt.
The Islamic politicians supported or kept quiet on
military operations in Frontier [KP[ and Baluchistan. These
provinces in large segments are still under military
occupation.
None of the Islamic groups dare to criticize the hegemony
of the military.
Jamaat e Islami is the only party which is capable of
understanding and opposing secularist assets in Pakistan
which are supported by the western powers.
Notice that the western media completely ignored the tragedy
of the Red Mosque.
At the practical level, Pakistani elections, like
elections in America, require huge sums of money which the
Islamic groups do not have.
Instead of being neutral towards IK, Jamaate Islami
joined Fazlur Rahman, an opportunist "Islamic" leader who is
the joke of the country.
Maulana Maudoodi was arrested and imprisoned numerous
times because the secularist rulers felt challenged by him.
Jamaat e Islami is now not seen as a threat by the military.
Though the Jamaat has many more women supporting it now than
10 years back but it is still not opening leadership roles
for women.
With the manipulated removal of Munawar Hasan, JI seems
to have lost its back bone. They failed to hold salatul
janaza for Maulvi Fazlullah as they had failed to do before
for Abdur Rasheed Ghazi and Shaykh Osama.
Pakistan has tremendous Islamic potential but lacks
Islamic leadership bold enough to take risks.
War News
Egypt
General Sissi's Regime Orders 75 Death Sentences.
July 28. After show trials, the Sissi regime sentenced 75
Islamic political prisoners to death. The executions will be
finalized in September. Most of them are from the Ikhwan,
including leaders like Issam al-Aryan and Mohamed Baltagi,
as well as independent Islamic preachers Safwat Hijazi and
Wagdi Ghoneim. 31 were sentenced in absentia.
As the whole trial is a fraud, the Mufti of al-Azhar will be
asked to finalize the sentences. He did "forgive" one
leader, Mohamed Badaei, last year.
All the prisoners were arrested during peaceful
protests.
Amnesty International has denounced the verdicts as devoid
of legal process which did not allow the prisoners to
present their defense, nor were any of the police or
security forces questioned.
Almost 800 other prisoners are being held in sound proof
glass cages.
Afghanistan
Taliban Attacks +IS Attacks+US air strike
July 28: Six policement were killed in Qalat, the capital of
Abul province.
July 27. US air force mistakenly bombed three friendly
police posts in the Kunduz area.
July 28: In Jalalabad, IS gunmen killed two guards and
injured 6 troops in an attack which panicked workers in a
midwife center, but none were hurt.
Nangarhar province has become stronghold of IS.
A top US delegate, Alice Wells, met Taliban reps in
Qatar.
Syria
Unequalled Tragedy in Assad's Prisons.
Heavy fighting in Western Deraa.
IS Attacks Suwaida province.
July 29. More than 60,000 Muslim prisoners have died over 7
years in
Assad's prisons, under torture. This statistic comes from
the Syrian Observatory after the Assad regime issued death
certficates for about 16000 for publicity of its "lenience."
"The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented 15943
civilian deaths, including 125 children under the age of
eighteen and 64 woman over the age of eighteen."
The "lenience" publicity did not work because the total
number of deaths in Assad's prisons is more than 60,000. Of
those killed in prison but not documented yet, 15000
[fifteen thousand] are women.
According to SOHR, another 140,000 prisoners are still
alive in Assad's network of prisons.
During a week of fighting in western Deraa province, the
regime forces
have captured three villages from ISIS [Jaysh Khalid]. The
fighters were relentlessly bombed by Russia, Assad's jets,
Iranian and Hizb artilllery..
30,000 civilians have fled. More than 200 IS fighters have
been killed. Nearly 70 of Assad's troops were also
killed.
On July 25, IS attacked Suwaida city and the villages around
it. It is a Druze population and 113 armed Druze civilians
and 125 of their security
forces were killed. 56 of the IS attackers were also killed.
The attackers captured a number of people and are trying to
exchange them with IS prisoners in Assad's hands.
Meanwhile, July 25-27, more opposition civilians from
eastern Deraa who refused to live under the Assad regime
have been bused under Russian protection to Idlib province.
Another interesting development: Kurdish communists who
captured north eastern Syria with American air support are
offering cooperation with he Assad regime in a "federal"
system.
Iranian and Assad artillery are shelling Muslim townships on
a daily basis north east of Hama.
Russian air base under attack.
Tiny drones with explosives sent by Islamic groups,
[al-Nusra] attacked the Russian air base again on July
29.
This is the 12th tiny drone attack on the Russian air base
in Lattakia province . Several tiny drones were shot down
by the Russian but Russia is revealling its losses,
Iraq
Protests Continue in the South, Fighting in North
Widespread protests are continuing in the southern regions
of Iraq.
On July 29, troops were called in to disperse protestors who
were setting up tents near oil wells for a permanent
stay
Saudi Arabia is sending fuel to the Baghdad regime to help
it start its system which Iran refused to help for
non-payment.
Fighting is flaring as Islamic State fighters are in
conflict with regime forces backed by the US air force. The
regime is not disclosing its losses, so the reporting
remains one sided.
On July 28, IS disrupted three electricity transmission
lines in the Hawija area. Another line was blown up in the
al-Rasafa area of Baghdad.
July 29. ISIS blew up an electricity station southeast of
Kirkuk.
The Baghdad regime suspended the Minister of
Electricity.
Regime forces killed 9 IS fighters about 90 km north of
Baquba. Another 4 fighters were killed in Samara.
One regime security man was killed and 3 injured when a bomb
exploded at an electric pylon in the al-Akba area of
Hit.
West of Rutba, the heavily armed Shia militia Hashad
al-Shaabi lost 1killed and 8 wounded in a clash with IS.
3 regime security members were killed in a clash at
Khanaqin, northeast of Diyala. 4 IS were killed northeast of
Baquba.
Eight militants [IS] were arrested in eastern Mosul. Four
were killed in Samara.

Islam is liberating Prisoners even within Prison walls.
Islam isn't just the fastest-growing religion in the world,
it's also the fastest-growing faith in U.S. prisons. But why
do so many inmates turn to this religion?
Canada
Justice for Canadian Student Prisoner Momin Khawaja -
Slow Death for Crime He Did Not Commit
We are in the 3rd of the petition to "Prime Minister of
Canada: Justice for Momin Khawaja - Crime He did not commit"
and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.
People of consciousness and humanity have taken active role
to support Momin's freedom throughout the world.
Momin Khawaja is a Canadian citizen, a computer entrepreneur
and a graduate student and an innocent victim of the "bogus
war on terrorism." He had no criminal background and never
committed any violence or crime against anybody in Canada or
on this planet Earth.
The whole case as you will see the facts in the petition, is
a fake imagery of a young law abiding citizen of Canada who
has been imprisoned for more than 14 years, once attacked
with boiling water burning 60-70 parts of his body and
continuously being tortured 24/7 just like the Guantanmo Bay
at a Canadian prison. We made repeated complaints to the
Canadian Government, ICRC, Amnesty International, Civil
Liberties Association and Human Rights Watch but nobody
seemed to care for Momin's agony and sufferings as if he is
a non-living statistic.
During his incarceration 2004-2009 at the Ottawa Detention
Centre, Gary Dimmock, the Ottawa Citizen ("What life's like
for Momin Khawaja on the inside", July 7, 2008) described
him as "a model inmate" of exemplary moral character.
We request if you will please sign the petition and share it
with other members of your community-friends, it will
certainly enhance a truly global humanitarian cause of
justice and freedom.
Translation:
'And [on that Day] the Trumpet [of Judgment] will be
sounded, and all [creatures] that are in the heavens and all
that are on earth will fall down senseless unless they be
such as God wills [to exempt]. And then it will sound
again-and lo! standing [before the Seat of Judgment], they
will begin to see [the truth]!
{Source: 'Qur'an' ~ Surat: Az-Zumar (39)~ Ayah # 68 }
Abu Hurairah [Allah be pleased with him]~ said...
*PROPHET*~ { peace and blessings of ALLAH up upon him }
said..
"There will be Seven {7} persons sheltered on the Day of
Judgment when there will be no other shade besides HIS
shade. They are...
A Just Ruler .
a young man who passes his youth in worship and service
of ALLAH ~{the Lord of Honor and Glory}
One whose heart is perpetually attached to the
'Masjid'.
Two {2} such persons who Love each other for the Sake of
ALLAH, they joined together for HIS sake and parted for HIS
sake.
a man who is invited for sin by a rich beautiful woman
but declines, saying I fear Allah.
One who gives charity in a secret way without making a
show, in a way that his left hand does not know what his
right had spent.
One who remembers Allah in solitude so that his eyes
overflow !{fill with tears}.
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...{!}
'Salaams' to all ~
