Q&A: Motives behind the Global Struggle

Question: Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakaatuhu In the book Political Concepts, under the chapter "Motives Behind Global Struggle" on page 30 English version (page 54 Arabic version), the first line on the first paragraph mentions: "Since the dawn of history to the day of judgement, the motives of the nations for global struggle are either pride and the desire for sovereignty or the pursuance of material interests." (Then on the same page on the paragraph before last, on line 15 of the Arabic version) Then it mentions on page 31 of the English version in the first full paragraph: "Colonialism in all its forms is the most dangerous materialistic motive of the global struggle."

Q&A: Loans from Foreign Countries

Question: Assalamu Alaikum dear Sheikh, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى honor you with Islam, and may He سبحانه وتعالى honor Islam with you. I pray to Allah سبحانه وتعالى to be one of those who grant you Baya'a for the Khilafah upon the method of Prophethood, for He سبحانه وتعالى is capable for everything... I have a question about the matter of borrowing from foreign countries and international financial institutions, where it is mentioned in the book The Funds in the Khilafah State that it is prohibited by the Shariah because borrowing from them cannot happen except via usurious interest and conditions... The question is: When can the borrowing be permitted, and what are the conditions which makes it prohibited? Is there a difference if these countries are in treaty or in warship??? May Allah سبحانه وتعالى aid you in what there is good for Islam and the Muslims in the life and Afterlife. Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatuh Allahi wa Barakatuh. From Ahmad Sa Saad Answer:

Q&A: The Meaning of "Competence" in the Conditions of the Khaleefah

Question: Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem, Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh , I have a question: it was mentioned in the book The Islamic Personality - Volume II, page 20 (page 33 Arabic edition), the competence under Item VII of the conditions of the Khaleefah, then explained the competence and elaborated until it reached the following statement: "Also it is not a contracting condition for the Khilafah that the Khaleefah must be brave, or the people of good vision to manage the affair of the community and to conduct its interest". Question: is this not considered competence? Ntham Rd Answer: Wa Alaikum Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh , The text contained in the book is: "Also it is not a contracting condition for the Khilafah that the Khaleefah must be brave, or the people of good vision to manage the affair of the community and to conduct its interest, this is so because there is no sound Hadith was reported on this issue,

(Resorting to) Al-Ghaibiyaat (unseen matters) and the thinking about causes and effects

Answer to a question: There is no doubt that the Ghaibiyaat (unseen matters) represents a kind of easy exit or escape in the face of troubles and crises in comparison to exerting effort to thin deeply about the causes and effects which in fact represents the correct method for escaping troubles and crises. The Islamic Ummah has indeed witnessed (in its past) many difficult periods and she used to escape from the troubles and crises by utilising enlightened thought in order to overcome them. This was by acquiring knowledge of the causes and effects and by applying thought to them. However in the period of descent and following that her thinking became affected by obscurities which obscured the minds and twisted the thoughts. The Ghaibiyaat spread within her and kept her from exercising enlightened thought as she resorted and turned to the Ghaibiyaat and trod the path represented in the easy escape or exit. This is led to the absence of their ability to overcome the difficult periods

Imam Abdullah Bukhari - May Allah have Mercy on Him – Assassinated in Istanbul!

مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلاً "Among the believers there are men who have been true to the contract they made with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their pact by death and some are still waiting to do so, not having changed in any way at all." (Al-Ahzab, 33:23) Daily Sabah , the Turkish newspaper, published on its English-language website on 13/12/2014 CE the report of the heinous crime that took place on Wednesday morning, on 10/12/2014, in Istanbul. During his meeting with Putin on 10/12/2014, the tyrant of Uzbekistan, Karimov, had requested help from his partner in crime Putin in the face of Islam, which deprive him of sleep. The very same day the Russian Intelligence Service in coordination with the Uzbek Intelligence Service carried out the assassination of Imam Abdullah Bukhari (38 years old) a martyr of the word of truth, in the city o

Q&A: The Meaning of Tabarruj (Revealing the Beauty)

Question: Our honourable Sheikh,  Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu I read what you wrote regarding wearing of the trousers in front of relatives, and that it is not Shariah compliant, however you did not provide an evidence for this...but you said that it is from Tabarruj; and as what we have learnt the meaning of Tabarruj is anything that attracts the attention. However, how a society views Tabarruj differs from one country to another; wearing of the trousers, as I understand, in our private social life among relatives does not attract attention because everyone in the private life wears a long shirt and trousers, so it is not attracting attention because everyone is wearing the same and the society that we live in is what determines its view of the dress, whether it has Tabarruj or not, i.e. it is attracting attention or not, please can you clarify this. Jazak Allah Khair and May He grant you victory and support of the people of power. From Ranood Zagl

Q&A-The Nature of Bid’ah

Question:  During one of our meetings, we discussed the word “Bid’ah.” Some of us said that it refers to everything that contravenes the command of The Legislator (Al-Shaari’), and others said that it refers only to contravening the command of The Legislator in matters of ‘Ibadaat (acts of worship). Could you please clarify this issue? Jazakum Allahu Khairan. Answer: 1- The commands of The Legislator are two types: The first type is in Seeghat Al-Amr (the form of a command) and accompanied with the explanation of the method to complete this command (i.e. the practical steps to implement it from start to finish). For example, Allah سبحانه وتعالى says: وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلاَةَ “And perform Salat” [Al-Baqara, 2:43] this is in Seeghat Al-Amr, but it was not left to man to pray however he pleases, but rather other texts were revealed that explain exactly how prayer is performed, including the intention, standing, recitation, Rukoo’, Sujood, etc. Equally, Allah سبحانه وتعالى r
