Sheikh Taqiuddin an-Nabhani & General Glubb Pasha


By Abdul Khaaliq ‘Abdoun

Abu Ghazi (Fathi Saleem) may Allah’s mercy be upon him told me about a discussion that took place between him and an intermediary that the English General Glubb sent to the honourable Sheikh Taqiy ud Deen An-Nabhani (rh) in order to win him over to the British interests.

The intermediary said to Abu Ghazi: When the British sensed the danger of Sheikh Taqiy ud Deen (rh) Glubb sent me to him carrying an oral message in which Glubb praised him and his efforts towards his people and that he was inviting him to cooperate with him and that as a result of his material desires would be met.

The intermediary then said: The Sheikh asked me: Is that everything? I said: Yes. So he told me to take his answer back: That the English are the ones who made us arrive at where we are now, they are the ones who divided the State and dissected it after it had been one State. And they are the ones who brought their agent rulers into existence who take care of their (The British) systems and laws...

The intermediary said: And the Sheikh spoke for a long time that dazzled me and convinced me and I had not heard the like of it through the entirety of my life.

The Sheikh then concluded his speech by saying: Ya Akhi say to the one who sent you to me: The seeds of the orange and the crumbs from the bread suffice me more than all of the British wealth combined.
The intermediary said: This speech had a great affect upon me and I saw the greatness of the Sheikh, his knowledge and the sincerity he had towards his Ummah.

I then returned to Glubb and informed him of the Sheikhs rejection.

Upon hearing this Glubb wanted to dispose and get rid of him and so he sent me to the foreign minister at that time (Haashim Al-Juyoosiy) to arrange a dinner that Sheikh Taqiy ud Deen (rh) would attend. They appointed me to invite the Sheikh to dinner and I realised that they intended to kill him so when I met with the Sheikh I told him about the dinner and so he rejected the invitation. I then went to Glubb and informed him about the rejection and so he (Glubb) ordered that the Sheikh be placed under house arrest in his place of residence in Al-Quds. Then when I sensed the determination to get rid of the Sheikh due to my closeness to the conspirators and so I told the Sheikh that the people are conspiring against you to kill you and that I recommend that you leave the country and that I will take you personally to the border. So I actually took him with my car to the Syrian border.

Abu Ghazi (rh) said that this man (the intermediary) asked me to not mention his name but he is trustworthy and I have no doubt in regards to al that he said.

May Allah’s mercy be upon Sheikh Taqiy, how he was fearful of Allah and pure!

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider His law regard

Q&A: Age of separating children in the beds?

Question: Please explain the hukm regarding separation of children in their beds. At what age is separation an obligation upon the parents? Also can a parent sleep in the same bed as their child? Answer: 1- With regards to separating children in their beds, it is clear that the separation which is obligatory is when they reach the age of 7 and not since their birth. This is due to the hadith reported by Daarqutni and al-Hakim from the Messenger (saw) who said: When your children reach the age of 7 then separate their beds and when they reach 10 beat them if they do not pray their salah.’ This is also due to what has been narrated by al-Bazzar on the authority of Abi Rafi’ with the following wording: ‘We found in a sheet near the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he died on which the following was written: Separate the beds of the slave boys and girls and brothers and sisters of 7 years of age.’ The two hadiths are texts on the separation of children when they reach the age of 7. As for the

Q&A: Shari' rule on songs, music, singing & instruments?

The following is a draft translation from the book مسائل فقهية مختارة (Selected fiqhi [jurprudential] issues) by the Mujtahid, Sheikh Abu Iyas Mahmoud Abdul Latif al-Uweida (May Allah protect him) . Please refer to the original Arabic for exact meanings. Question: What is the Shari’ ruling in singing or listening to songs?  What is the hukm of using musical instruments and is its trade allowed? I request you to answer in detail with the evidences? Answer: The Imams ( Mujtahids ) and the jurists have differed on the issue of singing and they have varying opinions such as haraam (prohibited), Makruh (disliked) and Mubah (permissible), the ones who have prohibited it are from the ones who hold the opinion of prohibition of singing as a trade or profession, and a similar opinion has been transmitted from Imam Shafi’i, and from the ones who disliked it is Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who disliked the issue and categorised its performance under disliked acts, a similar opinion has been tran
