America's failure in Afghanistan spells the end of West's dominance in Eurasia

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم "The West has already failed in Afghanistan, just as the Soviets failed in the 1980s and the British way back in the nineteenth century."--John Humphrys After having fought for more than a decade in Afghanistan, America has yet to show any considerable gains for its brutal occupation. Nonetheless, there are some diehard American strategists who beg to differ, and argue that America has achieved its primary objective, which was to establish a few military bases in Afghanistan to counter Russia, China and the future Caliphate state for the eventual supremacy over Eurasia. But, even this lofty ideal when measured against the reality on the ground appears too remote to be categorized as a useful accomplishment. On the contrary, the rampant instability in Afghanistan not only puts into jeopardy the viability of such strategic objectives, but more importantly raises questions about how long can America afford to stay stuck in the Afghan quagmire and con

Q&A: US Deploys 60% of her naval fleet in Asia-Pacific

On 1/6/2012 the US Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, announced at a security conference in Singapore that,  "the United States will keep six aircraft carriers in the Asia-Pacific region and will shift 60% of its warships to the region, over the coming years until 2020."  He explained that the  "transfer of the US fleet comes in the context of the implementation of a new US strategy designed to raise the level of US military presence in the Asia-Pacific."  So what is the reason to transfer most of the American Navy to Asia-Pacific? Does America fear from China at the present time or in the coming years? And when might China move to impose its control over that region? Answer: To answer this question we need to understand the following: A- The Asia-Pacific region includes countries of interest to the US, such as Japan, China, Taiwan, North and South Korea. Between these countries is a conflict on the issue of sovereignty over the East China Sea and a dis

Book of Fasting: The fasting of a person that becomes Junuban (impure)

We are serialising some sections from the draft translation of   الجامع لأحكام الصيام  ‘Al-Jami li Ahkam as-Siyam’  (A complete guide of the rules of fasting)  by  Sheikh Abu Iyas Mahmoud bin Abdul Latif al-Uweida this Ramadhan, please note this is a draft translation so please overlook errors.      The view of the majority is that the fast remains valid and there is no qadaa for it if the fasting person awakes in an impure state without any difference to whether the janaabah (state of impurity) arises from intercourse, dreaming or desire. An-Nawawi is firm in that the Ijmaa of the Ulamaa has settled on that. Ibn Al-Eid said that it has become an Ijmaa or like an Ijmaa.  Ibn ‘Abdil Birr reported from Al-Hasan bin Saalih and Ibraaheem An-Nakhi’ the obligation of Qadaa in the obligatory (fard) but not extra recommended (Tattawu’) fasts. Al-Mawardi reports that the difference is in the right of the impure person in relation to the one who has performed intercourse whilst in the case

O Syrian Army Commanders! Follow in the footsteps of the Roman General who defected to the Muslim army at the Battle of Yarmuk

The Battle of Yarmuk was part of the campaign to conquer Syria and open it to Islam. The Amir of Jihad was Khalid bin Walid who was appointed by the Khaleefah Umar ibn al-Khattab. At the start of the battle a Roman general by the name of George emerged from the Roman centre and rode towards the Muslims. Halting a short distance from the Muslim centre, he raised his voice and asked for Khalid bin Walid (Amir of Jihad). From the Muslim side Khalid rode out, delighted at the thought that the battle would begin with himself fighting a duel. He would set the pace for the rest of the battle.  As Khalid drew near, the Roman made no move to draw his sword, but continued to look intently at Khalid. The Muslim advanced until the necks of the horses crossed, and still George did not draw his sword. Then he spoke, in Arabic:  "O Khalid, tell me the truth and do not deceive me, for the free do not lie and the noble do not deceive. Is it true that Allah sent a sword from heaven to your

The Tremseh massacre is a mark of disgrace on the faces of all the world's rulers

The Tremseh massacre is a mark of disgrace on the faces of all the world's rulers, especially the rulers of the Muslim world Just before a proposal by the UN Security Council to give a 10-day deadline to end the killing, the brutal Syrian regime renewed its attacks on unarmed civilians with rebel towns and villages pounded with all kinds of weapons. The forces of Bashar al-Assad commit appalling massacres to demonstrate the regime's hold over the land. It carried out a  series of massacres  in rebelling Syria, killing more than 230 unarmed women, children and old men, this time in the village of Tremseh in the countryside of Hama. After forces from the regular army surrounded the peaceful village in the early morning of Thursday 12th July, they then started indiscriminately shelling, with mortars and mortar launchers at inhabited houses. After that it set free its mad dogs, called the Shabiha of Al-Assad, to kill and slaughter with knives whoever their unclean hands

Book of Fasting: The Intention by Sheikh Abu Iyas

We are serialising some sections from the draft translation of   الجامع لأحكام الصيام  ‘Al-Jami li Ahkam as-Siyam’  (A complete guide of the rules of fasting)  by  Sheikh Abu Iyas Mahmoud bin Abdul Latif al-Uweida this Ramadhan, please note this is a draft translation so please overlook errors.    The Intention of the Fast: It was the opinion of ibn Umar and Jaabir bin Zaid (rah) from the Sahaabah and also the opinion of Maalik, Al Layth and Ibn Abi dh’ib that it was necessary to make the intention for the fast in the preceding night in any part of it (the night). There is no difference between the obligatory and recommended fasts so the fast of Ramadhaan, the fast of an Nadhr (oath/vow), the obligatory fast of Kafaarah and the recommended extra fasts are all the same in the respect of the intention according to this view. However Imam Abu Haneefah, Imaam ash Shaafi’ and Ahmad viewed the niyah of the preceding night to be obligatory only for the obligatory fasts and not the su

Book of Fasting: Merits of Sawm & Ramadhan by Sheikh Abu Iyas

We are serialising some sections from the draft translation of   الجامع لأحكام الصيام  ‘Al-Jami li Ahkam as-Siyam’  (A complete guide of the rules of fasting)  by  Sheikh Abu Iyas Mahmoud bin Abdul Latif al-Uweida this Ramadhan, please note this is a draft translation so please overlook errors.  Sawm linguistically means refraining, silence, suspension and what is included in its meanings. Sawm has been mentioned with this meaning in Allah’s (swt) noble book. Allah (swt) says: {  فكُلي واشربي وقَرِّي عيْناً فإِما تَرَيِنَّ من البَشَرِ أَحَداً فقولي إِني نَذَرتُ للرحمنِ صَوْماً فلن أُكلِّمَ اليومَ إِنْسِيَّاً } "So eat and drink and be glad. And if you see any human being, say: ‘Verily, I have vowed a fast unto the Most Gracious so I shall not speak to any human being this day."   (Surah Maryam Ayah 26) As for As-Sawm in the sharee’ah terminology, it is refraining from those things that break the fast and they are: food, drink, sexual relations, excess water through
