Open Letter to Pakistan's New Military Command



Asalaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah!
After the recent round of promotions to the levels of Brigadier, Major-General, Lieutenant-General and General, we address you all as the new military command of Pakistan's armed forces, one of the world's most capable fighting forces. No doubt military command is a great duty in our Deen and a source of great reward. Indeed, the Final Messenger to all humankind, RasulAllah (saaw), himself was a military commander, after he (saaw) made Hijrah to Madinah on 12th Rabiul-Awwal, having previously secured Nussrah (Material Support) from your noble predecessors, the military command of the Ansaar (ra). Thus, RasulAllah (saaw) set the glorious example of military command for you, securing the Muslims from their enemies and raising the word of Allah (swt) as the highest before all of humankind.
We put to you that the greatest challenge you face is to end Pakistan's alliance with the United States. Far from being a source of strength by which to counter India's regional mischief, this alliance is the cause of our being progressively and perilously weakened before India.
Through its alliance in the era of General Musharraf, the US exploited the intelligence, bases and air corridors of our armed forces to make possible its invasion and subsequent occupation of Afghanistan in the first place. Then, the US promptly opened the doors of Afghanistan to India to grant it an unprecedented presence there, which the Hindu State began using as a base to destabilize Pakistan, igniting the fires of chaos and Fitna throughout our soil. Firmly allied to the United States, General Musharraf then declared Jihad in Kashmir as “terrorism," an American demand that granted great relief to India, whose cowardly troops were shaken by small groups of poorly armed, yet highly motivated Muslims.
Then, through its alliance in the era of General Kayani, Washington ensured our armed forces were massively deployed on the Western border. It is this American demand which not only granted India on the Eastern border even greater relief, further bolstering its regional ambitions, it reduced Pakistan's armed forces role to that of a security detail for the American and Indian presence in Afghanistan.
Then, through its alliance in the era of General Raheel, Washington brought further relief for India, through ensuring the forceful suppression of Islam under the banner of “fighting extremism,” stabbing the Muslim resistance in Kashmir in the back under the banner of “ending cross border terrorism” and restricting us to frustrating, token, tit-for-tat responses in the face of ever increasing Indian aggression on our eastern borders, under the banner of "restraint."
And now if alliance with the United States is allowed to continue under General Bajwa, Pakistan will be herded towards US sponsored talks with India, to bury forever any hope of a fully liberated Kashmir being unified with Pakistan. This American ploy is to grant India a victory through the maze of diplomatic talks that it could never secure for itself on the battlefield. As for the “normalization” of relations, it is an American demand to permanently remove Pakistan as an obstacle to India as the dominant regional power, through a whole host of security concessions, including our falling on the sword of self-inflicted nuclear disarmament.
Respected military commanders!
America is an open, hostile, Kaffir enemy of Muslims. Its enmity is apparent from its support of the Hindu State in the east and the Jewish State in the west. Its enmity is evident from its aggression in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Its enmity is clear from its relentless bringing Pakistan to heel before India. Islam forbids alliance with the enemy forces who fight Muslims, occupies our lands and desires only our ruin, for Allah (swt) said, ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا لاَ تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَاءَكُمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ “O you who believe do not take My enemy and your enemy as allies, meeting them with softness. Indeed, they disbelieve in that which has come to you of truth.” [Surah Mutahina 60:1] And we assure you that you are not only fully capable of ending alliance with Washington, the situation is ripe for it.
Consider, respected commanders, the weaknesses of the United States itself. Militarily, its own forces, whose lack of bravery cripples their possession of sophisticated weaponry, have been shaken by small, poorly armed tribal men in Afghanistan, forcing them to come to rely upon our armed forces. Economically, the consuming greed of its elite has led to an immense and unsustainable concentration of wealth within a few, causing the collapsing of its economy. Politically, its standing and reputation is in tatters through its naked, violent pursuit of material resources abroad, inciting great hatred against it, not just within the Muslim World, but beyond it.
Consider that despite the immense oppression against the Ummah from the current tyrant rulers, our Ummah has not retreated rather it has grown in its commitment to Islam. The rejection of colonialism and Democracy is stronger than ever before within her, as is her demand for ruling of Islam and establishing its Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood. Thus, the Islamic Ummah would rejoice, applaud and fully support your brave and bold step to deliver that which she desires most.
Consider also that Hizb ut Tahrir under its Ameer, Sheikh Ata ibn Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, is fully prepared for ruling by Islam, commanding legions of capable politicians whose influence extends from Indonesia in the east to Morocco in the west. Today they work tirelessly day and night, despite immense persecution against them by the current tyrants, which includes arrests, abduction and the severest of torture. And soon, when the Khilafah is established at your hands, they will work with the same commitment to Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saaw) to ensure the unification of the current Muslim states as the single most resourceful state in the world.
And consider above all else, that when you move in support of Islam and its Deen, in humble and complete submission to the commands of our Lord (swt), you will earn the help of Allah (swt). Indeed, history has been made by the Muslim military commanders who wielded this help as their most powerful weapon, succeeding against their enemies despite overwhelming odds, from Khalid bin Waleed (ra), to Salahuddin and Muhammad bin Qasim. Walk now in the footsteps of the righteous military commanders, grant Nussrah for the establishment of the Khilafah and you will need no helper other than Allah (swt), as you march towards dignity and victory.
Allah (swt) said,
﴿إِنْ يَنْصُرْكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah (Alone) let believers put their trust.” [Surah Aali-i-Imran 3:160]

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

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 built), and you
