Oppressive arrest of Scholar in Yemen

The following information was taken from a press release issued on 3rd June 2006 in Arabic by the workers for Khilafah in the Wilayah of Yemen. It is a draft translation of the main points mentioned in it.

Before two weeks and before the feast (of dancing on the wounds of the nation) on the sixteenth anniversary of the Yemeni Unity, the political security apparatus in Hudeida made an abusive arrest for the sheikh and scholar Ibraheem Abdelbari Makbuli Al-Ahdal (58) years old, imam and preacher of Al-Nur Masjid in quarter of Alkal’a Alhamdi street in Hudeida, and the legitimate guardian of Alkal’a quarter, and an employee in the court of first instance in Hudeida.
The security apparatuses were not satisfied by arresting the mad!! It spread the space of its crimes to reach the scholars and preachers, it is afraid that they will disturb the spirit of celebration of the wealthy, and annoy their rich processions, and spoil the pleasure of the corrupt, what kind of a system is this, which has an army, security, news media and money and is afraid from a scholar who could give a speech or distribute a paper about the corruption and the corrupt on earth?!

The political security justified the arrest of the Sheikh to be (precautionary) so as not to attack the system on its celebration day, knowing that the sheikh is a man who says the word of truth and is not afraid to be blamed by anyone, that is why they arrested him!!
The sheikh was arrested on 27.09.2004, and this is the second arrest, he was called several times to the apparatus of intimidation and terrorization!! Without any guilt or any crime and without a legal warrant, those apparatuses violated their constitution which they claim to implement, according to the text of item (48) and items 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 73, 76, and 77 from the law of judicial penalties.

His only guilt is that he calls for Islam and implementing it in all aspects of life, he works to resume the Islamic life and to rule with what Allah has sent by establishing the state of Khilafah, he wages wars against the corrupt and who cause corruption on earth, by ordering goodness and forbidding what is abominable, since when -you best nation sent to people- was calling for Islam a crime, and the call for falsity a good thing, and those who do it are rewarded?!
The authority bragged too much about the call for democracy, multiplicity, and freedoms, the president repeated it in his speeches and that democracy is the choice of the system, and the ship of salvation for it, and that the time of political detention is over… etc, but the truth is quite the opposite of what they claim, arrests, pursuits, muzzling of mouths, silencing tongues, oppressive practices, pursuit of intellectuals, spying provocation of journalists and unjust lawsuits!!

We put the full responsibility on the ruling system, for what Sheikh Ibraheem Al-Ahdal is being exposed to, and for what his health is facing, knowing that he has diabetes, we challenge the system to bring him to court if he committed any crime, we reassure the oppressive apparatuses that these arrests will only make the Shabab of the party more decided to work and sacrifice, in order to uproot corruption and the corrupt from earth, and to rule with Islam, these arrests also will only make the citizens of Yemen -who are poor and hungry- to be more resentful and hateful for the system even more than what they already feel!!

We address the members of the Representative Council and the Sheikhs of Yemen, its scholars and people of intellect and impact in it and the human rights organizations:

To account those oppressive apparatuses for committing these violations of Shari'ah even those of law, and to bring those who hurt people to the court, to get the fair punishment, so that security, stability and content will prevail in Yemen, and we demand to set free the Sheikh and all the oppressed in the prisons of the unjust.

((وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارُ))

"Think not that Allah doth not heed the deeds of those who do wrong. He but giveth them respite against a Day when the eyes will fixedly stare in horror." [Ibrahim: 42]

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

Authenticity of ahadith on tall buildings in Makkah?

Question Are these   ḥadith  sound? Are the references provided correct and accurate? When you see the belly of Makkah will be cleft open and through it will be dug out river-like passages (i.e. tunnels) (or water in the road to Makkah), and you see the buildings surpass its mountains, then take care (or beware, or a variant has: then know that the matter is at hand, or then understand that the time of trial (Judgment day) is near at hand). [Narrated by Al-Azraqi in the Book of reports about Makkah – Kitab Akhbaar Makkah, Hadiyth-1725; A specific Hadiyth (in fact several related-Hadiyths) which prophesizes about this Tower. Itha ra’aitun mecca bu’ijat katha’ima, wa ya-tasawa bunyanuha ru’usa jibaliha, faqad athalati as-Sa’atu. When you see Mecca, its mountain with holes (pierced through them), and its buildings reach its mountain tops, then as-Sa’ah (the Hour) has already cast its shadow. [Suyuti] So when you see in Makkah that channels have already been dug (or tunnels built), and you
