The Murder of Mohsin Fikri: A Dormant Revolution in a Repressed People


Press Release
(Translated)
On Friday the 28th of October, Morocco witnessed a truly horrific crime, epitomised in the murder of a young man, Mohsin Fikri, pulverised and crushed in a garbage collection truck, whilst he was struggling for his livelihood. Just like that and without mercy!
This horrific crime which indicated clearly the regime’s contempt and disdain to the people stirred the Moroccan street having witnessed dozens of marches and huge angry protests in support of the honour and dignity of Mohsin Fikri and to his right and through that, the dignity of the people of the country as a whole. The protesters stopped in front of the police stations raising the slogan “Murderers and criminals” …
This popular tide indicates proof that the Islamic Ummah hoards a severe hatred towards its regimes whatever they are named. It represents a blatant evidence that Morocco boasts about a fake stability and that it resorts to misrepresentation to contain a latent revolution against the Moroccan government and against the regime as a whole.
The regime has become deceived about its capability to contain after having closed the door to the crimes of Al-Hasan II and the bleak dark days of his rule. After the overwhelming 20th February movement in 2011 within the context of the Arab revolutions, and after the accomplishment of distractive elections which more than half of the people boycotted, we say to all… Enough with the delay, enough of the experimentation, enough of looking for excuses for these failure agent regimes… It is not hidden from anyone that the regime in Morocco has abandoned the issues of the Ummah and acts arrogantly in respect to them. Its recognition of the Jewish entity long ago and its efforts to accomplish this entity’s penetration into the Arab lands is nothing other than a greater evidence that this regime represents a burden upon this Ummah and its people… And have our people in Morocco forgotten the barbaric torture and the atrocities of the prisons during the time of King Hasan II and how they represented a descent below humanity and a insolent challenge to Allah and His Messenger…
The crime of the murder of Mohisn Fikri, in this cruelty, is clear evidence that the ruling class in Morocco is extremely arrogant and severed from the people and the Ummah… 
The hope, all the hope in our people in Morocco, is for their protests to be ripe and mature and that they define an explicit objective adopted by everyone. That means making Morocco a support point for the Ummah’s project, the Islamic State, the rightly guided Khilafah (Caliphate) upon the methodology of the Prophethood. And that these protests contain an awareness that makes the people of Morocco not turn for patchwork or misleading solutions. That is because the affliction has already gone on for so long, the agony has multiplied, the sin has magnified and time has been wasted.
Tell this regime that boasts of its ability to mislead, dissipate and distract, ENOUGH! We have understood, we have pinpointed our issue, and we hope that we will not have entered into these protests only to be used by colonial parties to divert them from its path to take control over them…
CMO_SigflattThat is because it is not permissible to call for separation, division, secularism or nationalism. Rather, the call must be explicitly for Islam… And to the ruling system that will make Morocco a beacon that the Ummah gathers around to complete its unity… Indeed, how great is the good within Morocco and how amazing is their deep concern for the Ummah’s issues… Let us hope that this time it is rightly guided and decisive.

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

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
