US Aid is Poison and its End is a Thousand Times Easier than its Continuance

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Jennifer Psaki, Spokesperson for the US State Department said on 9/10/2013 that Washington would freeze military and economic assistance to Egypt, while waiting for the country to make credible progress towards a democratically elected civilian government. The Los Angeles Times quoted US officials who emphasized that core U.S. security interests in the region, including the Egypt-Israeli peace treaty, would not be jeopardized by the cuts. We recognize that these statements from America do not mean the final relinquishment of poisoned aid to Egypt.

Q&A: Collection of the Holy Qur'an, The Seven Recitations and Tafsir of the Ayah: "While Allah created you and that which you do"

The following is a draft translation of a collection of Questions asked to the Scholar Shekh Ata'a Abu Rashta. Questions: Dear Brother, Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatahu 1. In the book Ash-Shaksiyah 3 (Islamic Personality Volume III), under the topic "The First Evidence – The Book", under the point "Fourth" it says: "The research on it does not concern the question whether it is from the Qur'an. Rather it concerns its submission and delay..."   What is meant by that? 2. Concerning the recitations: Some consider the recitations that were transmitted through Tawatur to be seven, others consider them to be ten. What is the correct opinion on this issue? 3. The recitations that were transmitted as Ahad (not reaching the status of Tawatur), and are in harmony with the Uthmani scripture and the Arabic meaning, how to treat them? Can they be applied for recitation? Also the odd recitations that have been transmi
