Money from Hostile States against Islam Will Never End the Suffering of Syrian Refugees

On the 3rd of October, Turkey announced that the European Commission had signed two direct grants worth €600 million to support Syrian refugees and host communities in Turkey in the areas of education and health. Half of the grant will supposedly be used to support Syrian refugee children’s integration into the Turkish schooling system. Only 340,000 of the 814,000 school-age Syrian children currently in Turkey received education last year. The plan is to increase this number to 400,000. The other €300 million is aimed at the provision of comprehensive health care for refugees in Turkey.
There is no doubt that the Syrian refugees, and in particular the children, titled by the UN as the “Lost Generation”, are in dire need of support. Most refugee children and youth are forced to skip school, due to being compelled to earn a living for their families or due to difficulties in adapting to life in their new host country. However, these agreements and payments are faulty due to three aspects:
1.   It is absurd to believe that those states that have shown public enmity to Muslims and Islam, both nationally and internationally, and have the blood of hundreds of thousands of Muslims on their own hands from the colonial wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Mali and other lands across the world, would have a genuine concern for the wellbeing of Syrian refugees in Turkey or elsewhere. These are the same states who have for more than 5 years given the Butcher Assad a green light to slaughter the Muslims of Syria with impunity, to abort the ash-Sham revolution. Any help they offer to the Muslims always pours into self-serving interests.
2.   These agreements and aids that have been signed and promised to the Syrian refugees are only in order to ensure Turkey’s implementation of the EU-Turkey Joint Action Plan and the EU-Turkey-Statement, which among others aim to carry out the return and resettlement of refugees, and thus decrease the number of refugees entering Europe. So there is no true help for the Syrian or any other refugees in this.
3.   It is not the duty of the Kuffar, who kill and maim Muslims and support others who also do so, to look after the needs of our Muslim brother, sisters, and children. In contrary, it is the duty of the Muslims!
The Prophet (saw) said«الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يُسْلِمُهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ، وَمَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرُبَاتِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» “A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection.”
CMO_SigflattThe fact is that while Turkey clings onto its disabling nationalistic political model, it will never be able to fulfil its duty towards the Muslims seeking refuge in it. It needs the cooperation and support of the other Muslim lands. However, other states such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and others who are flooded in wealth, have washed their hands of the responsibility of defending the Muslims in Syria and elsewhere, for they only use their money and armies in the service of the interests of their Western Masters! Re-uniting the Muslim lands under a single state – the second Khilafah Rashidah upon the Method of Prophethood – is what will save Syria and the rest of the Muslim lands from its puppet tyrants, oppressors and the colonialist invaders who hold their strings. It will also unite all the resources of the Ummah, which are more than enough to provide for the needs of the whole Ummah across the world. This single Islamic leadership will utilise its resources as commanded by Allah (swt), and hence will be able to fulfil its obligation of providing safety and security and the educational, health, and maintenance needs of every single person upon its soil.

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

Q&A: Shari' rule on songs, music, singing & instruments?

Please refer to the original Arabic for exact meanings. Question: What is the Shari’ ruling in singing or listening to songs?  What is the hukm of using musical instruments and is its trade allowed? I request you to answer in detail with the evidences? Answer: The Imams ( Mujtahids ) and the jurists have differed on the issue of singing and they have varying opinions such as haraam (prohibited), Makruh (disliked) and Mubah (permissible), the ones who have prohibited it are from the ones who hold the opinion of prohibition of singing as a trade or profession, and a similar opinion has been transmitted from Imam Shafi’i, and from the ones who disliked it is Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who disliked the issue and categorised its performance under disliked acts, a similar opinion has been tran
