Therefore it is necessary that he is treated fundamentally by generating harmony between his thought and feelings firstly by culturing him with a sound ideological culture. And this means that the harmony between the thought and the feelings only comes about by the feelings emanating from the Aqeedah so that it represents an intellectual sensation and real (true) feelings. This is because when the thought becomes focused in the person feelings and sensations inevitably emanate from it that are in harmony with that thought which is focused in the person. And there is absolutely

So this society that believes in the Islamic Aqeedah is dominated by feelings that it is an Islamic society and its sensations and emotions are upon the basis of Islam. We find that it regurgitates the concepts of democracy and calls for the implementation of democracy and freedom, or justice, equality and soci

Verses 6 to 16: وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللّهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَ 8 يُخَادِعُونَ اللّهَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلاَّ أَنفُسَهُم وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ 9 فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللّهُ مَرَضاً وَلَهُم عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ 10 وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لاَ تُفْسِدُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ قَالُواْ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ 11 أَلا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَـكِن لاَّ يَشْعُرُونَ 12 وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُواْ كَمَا آمَنَ النَّاسُ قَالُواْ أَنُؤْمِنُ كَمَا آمَنَ السُّفَهَاء أَلا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ السُّفَهَاء وَلَـكِن لاَّ يَعْلَمُونَ 13 وَإِذَا لَقُواْ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ قَالُواْ آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوْاْ إِلَى شَيَاطِينِهِمْ قَالُواْ إِنَّا مَعَكْمْ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِؤُونَ 14 واللّهُ يَسْتَهْزِىءُ بِهِمْ وَيَمُدُّهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ 15 أُوْلَـئِكَ

The Da’wah (Invitation) and Power (Quwwah)

Allah (swt) said: لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَنْزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْمِيزَانَ لِيَقُومَ النَّاسُ بِالْقِسْطِ وَأَنْزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَنَا فِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَنْصُرُهُ وَرُسُلَهُ بِالْغَيْبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ Indeed we have sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might (Al-Hadeed 25). Allah Subhaanahu created all creatures and he alone knows what is suitable for them, what benefits them and what establishes their lives upon goodness and guidance. There are from amongst the people the one who is affected by the good word and exhortation, and as a result he changes his conduct, stra

Q&A: Selling flour for bread? | Sheikh 'Ata Abu Al-Rashtah

[Translated] Question: Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Our beloved Shaykh, may Allah (swt) help you in your cause and guide you to that which pleases Him. Another question: Some people give the baker at the main bakery a bag of flour and in return take a specific amount of bread daily for a month; is this permissible? Does this matter enter into the context of hiring or selling, although none of the two parties proclaim any of this? Please be quick in responding if that is possible. May Allah swt support you, give you success and grant you victory and succession, and may He (swt) unite us with you in the Dar of Islam, Wassalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh. Answer:  This issue, my brother, is not a new one, the Jurists (Fuqahaa') have discussed it in their early ages, and have thus differed in its matter as they have differed in their answers to this question: If the usurious ( ribawi ) materials changed through the manufacturing

Q&A: Evidences for Qiyas? | Sheikh 'Ata Abu Al-Rashtah

[Translated] Question: Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Our beloved Shaykh, may Allah (swt) help you in your cause and guide you to that which pleases Him. Whilst reading in the book,  The Islamic Personality   Volume III about the topic of  Qiyas  (analogy), I noticed that the Hizb infers that Qiyas is a Sharii source through definitive evidences and others indefinite, though when the Hizb rejected the sayings of those who use the Consensus of the Righteous Khulafa' as a Shari'i source, it used to say that their evidences are indecisive and are hence unsuitable for inference. It could be said that the indefinite evidences can be (used)  يستأنس بها  (to elicit from). If so, why not refer to this matter especially since new editions of this book have been printed? I have also seen - and I think I'm wrong - that inferring to Qiyas with definite evidences is not explicit in meaning, but it is a deduction from the evidence itself, i.e. as long as th

The Financial Crisis in America

News agencies reported that the U.S. House of Representatives approved on 11/2/2014 CE to raise the U.S. debt ceiling until 15 March 2015. America witnesses today an unenviable economic and financial situation, the U.S. economy is slowly bleeding ... The United States began its fiscal year (the first of October 2013), with the closure of the government institutions because of the dispute over the budget between the Senate and House of Representatives, in which 850 thousand employees were forced to take unpaid leave. In order to avoid declaring bankruptcy, Congress in October 2013 raised the debt ceiling to 16.7 trillion dollars until February 27, 2014. This was just a postponement of the intractable financial crisis in America. American warnings have increased regarding the failure of Washington to pay the debt, which would be a precedent and a devastating disaster, with repercussions may be more serious than the financial crisis in 2008. In the summer of 2011, a similar political

Who Will Give Victory to the Muslims of Central Africa!

BBC website reported yesterday, Monday 17/02/2014 that  "African troops under the auspices of the International Support Mission for Central African Republic (MISCA) have evacuated 2,000 Muslims fleeing sectarian violence in the Central African Republic (CAR) to neighbouring Cameroon. A reporter with the Hausa service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) travelling with Rwandan soldiers said the convoy carrying the refugees came under attack from anti-balaka militia, who used guns, bow and arrows, machetes, rocks and swords." Frequent accounts were reported regarding Christians killing Muslims and dismembering their bodies, and even eat their raw flesh. BBC published on 13/01/2014 a detailed investigation about  "a cannibal who ate man's flesh in revenge",  an eye witness said, "People started attacking him, kicking him. They smashed a rock against his head. They kept going even after he was dead." He went on:  "They set the body on

This was in addition to making their (western colonial) personality the basis from which culture is taken. All this means that we would look at and view realities and events just as the westerner would including how he would treat and deal with matters, how he would interact with incidents and events in addition to how he would take stances and positions in relation to a certain issue. So freedom for instance is the cornerstone in relation to the behaviour of the individual and as such it is not permitted to prevent anybody from any manner of acting. Therefore
