"We have sent down the Book to you with the truth so that you can judge between people according to what Allah has shown to you."

At the time of complete ruling by the truth of Islam, Ramadhan was glorified by great worship of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. The Muslims did not restrict themselves to fasting, tarawih and invitations to iftaaris, rather they ensured that Islam was applied to all spheres of life, individual and collective, including economics, foreign policy and education. So, those who cried for help were secured from harm, the poor relieved of their burdens, the enemies' armies feared facing the Muslims in Jihad and the flags of Islam, La Ilaha Ilal Allah Muhammadur RasulAllah, were raised high throughout the world. This is how Ramadhan has been the month of victory for Muslims, from victory over the Quraysh to Badr, the Opening of Makkah, the defeat of the Persians at Al-Buwayb, the Opening of 'Amooriyah and victory over the Tartars at Ein Jaloot. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِمَا أَرَاكَ اللَّهُ "We have se

The Arab Spring Reaches Iraq- by Adnan Khan

"The mainstream media has basically gone into hysteria mode with so much focus on ISIS, when in fact, ISIS is a small entity. It's definitely playing a critical role in the uprising in the areas of Sunni Iraq, but if it didn't have the support of the masses, in other words a general Sunni uprising, it would not be able to accomplish all of this....... and I think that the problem is there is just a disproportionate amount of focus on ISIS."   Kamran Bokhari, Strafor . As many across the world continue to digest what is taking place in Iraq, the global media has gone into overdrive. As the world was watching the world cup in Brazil, the global media have attempted to fill their gaps in knowledge about Iraq, with assumptions logic and outright lies. There are many basic facts that have been diluted or are being reported in a manner to fulfil the agenda of others. In essence, just like the Arab spring, what is taking place in Iraq is an uprising against an

All that agrees with Islam and does not oppose Islam all represent rulings of Kufr

The following is a translation from an Arabic leaflet. O Muslims: All that agrees with Islam and does not oppose Islam all represent rulings of Kufr and they are not from the Ahkaam of Islam By way of the thought: ‘That which agrees with Islam is from Islam’, the disbelievers were able to bring Kufr thoughts to us and by way of the thought: ‘That which does not oppose Islam is from Islam’ the disbelieving States were able to make us adopt the rulings of Kufr. Through this the thoughts of Kufr began to enter into the minds of the Muslims so that you would hear the statements: ‘Democracy is from Islam’, ‘Islamic socialism’ and ‘Social justice’ amongst others. This also made it easier for the disbelievers and the hypocrites to apply the Kufr rulings upon the Muslims in areas such as the penal code, the rules of testimonies (Al-Bayyinaat) and trade laws amongst others. This was the first step which the disbelievers took to remove the Ahkaam of Islam and the thoughts of Islam so tha

In the Name of Honour (Part 1) | Dr Nazreen Nawaz

It was a crime that horrified the world. On May 27th, in the Pakistani city of Lahore, 25-year-old Farzana Parveen was bludgeoned to death in broad daylight with batons and bricks by her father, brothers and other family members, allegedly for marrying a man against their wishes. She was 3 months pregnant and on her way to contest an abduction case her family had filed against her husband. The father said that he did it to protect his family's honour which he felt had been insulted by his daughter's actions of marrying a man without their consent. A police officer quoted him as saying it had been an "honour killing". The fact that the murder happened in front of Lahore's High Court – a place where ordinarily people seek justice – made it even more poignant. Unsurprisingly therefore, the incident elicited condemnation from Western politicians and international media. However, Farzana was not the only victim of this brutal killing, performed 'in the name
