Q&A: Why does Hizb ut Tahrir not request its members to make Hijrah to Syria?

By

The following is the translation of an Arabic Q&A from the website of the noble mujtahid and faqih, Sheikh `Ata’ Ibn Khalil Abu Rashtah (Allah preserve him).

As-Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu,
Question:
In this question I am comparing the time when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم attained the Nusrah and the beginning of the Hijrah by his companions with what is happening today in Ash-Shaam. Hizb ut Tahrir is a political party that treads the path of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to establish the Islamic State. And now Hizb ut Tahrir has begun to attain the Nusrah in Syria as we have witnessed that from the Central Media Office of the Hizb.
The question: Why does Hizb ut Tahrir not request its members to make Hijrah to Syria like the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم requested from his followers? Or does the reality differ? Please clarify this issue.

Answer:
Wa Alaikumu Salaam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu,
Yes, indeed the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم did order the Sahaabah (Companions) to make Hijrah to Madinah however this was after the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم had obtained the Nusrah from the people of Al-Madinah i.e. after the second pledge (Bay'ah) of Al-Aqabah. This is because it was a Bay'ah made upon the ruling where Madinah became Dar ul-Islam Hukman (in its ruling) as the power had been achieved within it for Islam and the Muslims. And it awaited the arrival of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم so that it became Dar ul-Islam Fi'lan (in actuality) in which the Islamic rulings were applied.
And when the likes of the second pledge of Al-Aqabah is achieved for us then the time for Hijrah will take place in accordance to the Shari'ah rules.
Your Brother,
Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

By
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?

By
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?

By
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
