A Corrupt Ideology Breeds Corrupt Officials

By AlFikrAlMustanir
Press Release
Yet again, another corruption scandal has been found out. This time it involves the Health Ministry’s Officials are grilled over misappropriation of over Sh 3b ($300m). As usual, the investigation has been launched but certainly no one will be brought to the book. On the other hand, the ruling political elites along with the opposition have turned the issue into a blame game! With this regard, the Islamic Political Organization of Hizb ut Tahrir wishes to mention the following:
It is a bold betrayal and injustice of the so-called authorities holding public posts claiming to represent the public interests, instead of working to improve the life standard of the citizens; they are strongly competing over embezzlement of the public funds. Sadly, the fresh scam comes at a time where hundreds of thousands Kenyans are on the brink of starvation due to the drought.
This is crystal clear the Anti corruption bodies despite of changing its names have failed to deal with the evil.  Miserably some of the bosses of these bodies themselves have been caught up in graft. Late September this year, the Ethics and Anti- Corruption boss Philip Kinisu resigned over the connection with Esaki Limited Company which was paid in questionable dealings with the National Youth Service.
The essence of corruption in Kenya and, the world at large, emanate from the fallacy of embracing the erroneous colonial ideology: Capitalism. This corrupt and failed ideology whose values are other than the material value which makes its adherents to engage in a massing wealth through dirty ways. So, graft will not go away as long as this malicious ideology dominates the world.
Since the root cause of this problem is Capitalism, the real and tangible solution lies only on getting rid of the failed ideology. Replacing it with a just ideology which is no other than Islam whose sole criteria of Man’s action is what the Almighty Allah has decreed and not the materialistic benefit. Hence a society should be safeguarded against any evil acts because it angers the Almighty Allah (swt). In addition, Islam has entitled the whole society to enjoin what is right and forbid all evils no matter if the culprit is affluent or destitute, a ruler or ordinary citizen.
Islam has also demanded a ruler to account and remove any corrupt official without fear or favor. It is through these etiquettes; Islam embodied in the righteous Khilafah State will solely eradicate all kinds of evils and spread all kinds and goodness in the world.

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 ...

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 b...

The Shariah rules relating to mixing between the sexes

By
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...
