Insight into the work of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Syria

Brigadier General Hussaam Al-'Awaak who deserted from the Syrian Army two years ago wrote:

The sight of two of my brothers from Hizb ut-Tahrir who were arrested by Assad's forces having their beards ripped off saddened me greatly. This is because it is this Hizb that has carried the Da'wah and the flag of the Islamic Da'wah in Syria after Ikhwaan Al-Muslimeen turned their backs on Islam and its teachings and distanced themselves from it. They turned instead towards the objective of political gains and interests keen on gaining positions of authority and wealth which has become clear in the highest levels through the course of the revolution when they attempted to ride the revolution to achieve dominance within it in order to take away the wealth and financial donations from states and individuals so as to fill the coffers of their own group and the pockets of their leadership. This is so that they can grab the authority after the revolution achieves victory. Whereas Hizb ut Tahrir has worked from inside Syria and influence within the ranks of the Syrian Army and they are considered to be part of it enjoying a high level of popularity with the Syrian people. It is a party that is the son of the people on the ground and none of its leadership has left Syria apart from those who were chased into Jordan and Lebanon.

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 ...

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 b...

The Shariah rules relating to mixing between the sexes

In Islam, the basic principle of the interaction between men and women is segregation. This means that in all areas of life and in all places whether private or public, contact between men and women is generally prohibited. Many evidences establish the principle of not mixing between the sexes, and there are many ahadith which clarify that this is the case in both public and private areas: Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: "The best rows for the men are the first rows and the worst rows for them are the last rows. The best rows for the women are the last rows and the worst for them are the front rows." The last rows are the best for the women because they are farther away from the men as against the first rows that are nearest to men's rows. [This is related by the group except al-Bukhari] In Abu Dawud, p.284, Hadith No. 4931, it is narrated upon the authority of Aisha (ra) that she said: "I used to play with my friends and whenever the P...
