Q&A: Land of Sawad of Iraq; What is obliged on the Kaffir in the Ushriyia Land

Question: Assalaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatahu May Allah grant you His forgiveness and good health, I have two questions, the first one: It is known that Omar Ibn Al-Khattab (ra) kept the land of Iraq and refused to distribute it to the fighters, the question is: Is this an Ijtihad of Omar Ibn Al-khattab (ra) which others may hold a different Shariah opinion, or is it a consensus of the companions which is prohibited to differ with? The second question is: land in the Islamic state is either classified as a Kharaj or ‘Ushr.

Q&A: Zakat on Secured Currency; The Lands which the Islamic State Lays its Hands on

Question: Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu my dear respected brother.

It is also mentioned that Zakat on compulsory paper currency is obligatory because it is linked to the currency  ‘Illah,  and its value is evaluated with gold or silver depending on its purchase value in the market and its Zakat is calculated after the  Nisab  and the passing of one year. This is also clear. As for the “reliable paper currency” which has a specific cover of gold and silver according to a specific proportion which is less than the nominal value of currency as determined by the St

Political deception: Its reality and its effect upon the Ummah

Political deception: Its reality and its effect upon the Ummah Hasan Hamdan 25/03/15 The means and styles utilised by the disbelievers in their war against the Muslims have varied since they dealt a decisive blow against their political entity: ‘The Khilafah’. They killed that tender mother leaving her sons afflicted by a great loss and so they lost their political caretaker. Then in order to prevent the Muslims from being able to restore the authority of Islaam and to stop the return of its State the disbelievers found themselves in the greatest need of deceiving and misdirecting the Muslims. This was so that they would not tread the correct path which would lead to change and so the West utilised a wide range of political means and styles to prevent the return of Islaam. Political deception represents the most dangerous of these means. The reality of political deception is to conceal the political truth (or its true reality), to blot it out and make others blind to it by makin
