Q&A: America and Zardari / Quartet summit in Damascus

The following is a translation from an Arabic Q&A.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Question 1: It has been announced today the Asif Ali Zardari will take of oath of office today as President of Pakistan. Does this imply that Zardari is even keener top serve the US interests than Prime Minister Jeelani? If it is not so, why does the US have to support his candidature to be the president?

Answer:

1. Indeed both the men Zardari as well Jeelani are American pawns and under their control, both of them have asserted their keenness to further develop cooperation with the United States in its most important agenda of consolidating its stronghold & hegemony in the region under the garb of the so-called ‘War on Terror’. The statements and views of these two men have very loudly, clearly and categorically been made public. Moreover, the Americans actually control the army command and they were instrumental in the appointment of Ashfaq Parvez Kiyani to succeed Parvez Musharraf as the chief of army staff.

2. Raza Jeelani is of stronger personality and better placed to push American plans. As for Zardari, his weaknesses are well known and it is no secret that he is very corrupt, in fact in the political circles he is known only as the husband of Benazir Bhutto and not by his own name. By his own admission he has no political experience and has entered politics by virtue of being Benazir Bhutto’s husband! There are two compelling reasons as why has America supported and brought him to presidency:

First: To placate Britain and cool down the ardent pro-British wing of the Peoples Party; as Bhutto, the late wife of Zardari, had spent years of ‘exile’ in Britain during which the British were able to win over her loyalties, thus influencing many personalities of the Peoples’ Party. The fact that Zardawi is her husband is convenient for Britain, giving them hope that their work will get done in Pakistan, despite Zardawi's overt declaration of cooperating with the US and going along with them.

Second: There were indications that the prime minister ship in Pakistan was heading towards concentrating power & authority to itself and clip the wings of a future president. With Zardari at the helm, it is unlikely.

Question 2:

What is the truth behind the quartet summit in Damascus? How can Qatar be a part of it, Qatar and Syria have different loyalties; while Syria & Turkey have their loyalties to the United States, Qatar is pro-British.

Answer:

The aim of this summit is to keep the region cool by continuing the process of give-&-take negotiations until a new US administration is in place. This will keep the US bother-free of any untoward incident at a time when the US is busy in its presidential elections.
Hence the US deputed Sarkozy to fill the vacuum in the region due to its preoccupation with elections. Sarkozy is very close to the Americans and their ally, the US relies on him to work for it by proxy.

Thus the most important outcome of the quartet summit in Damascus between Bashar al- Asad, Sarkozy, Erdogan, and the Amir of Qatar was to signal the Jewish state the importance of continuing the negotiations despite the resignation of Olmert. In this regard the Syrian president said: “We have proposed 6 points to Turkey and are awaiting their acceptance by Israel. Our response to the Israeli points will be positive and we will enter direct negotiations after the new US administration is in place.”

Certainly Erdogan and Asad are American pawns and the US administration uses them with French patronage to enter into negotiation with the Jewish state until the new US administration takes over and the US retains its hegemony and influence.

As for Qatar, it represents the British at the summit who guard the American and Jewish interests in a way that it becomes the preferred party in any negotiations or agreement or solutions in the region.

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
