Islamic Revival

The following is a translation from an Arabic Q&A. Question : In the book al-Muqadimmah, part 1, page 79, the third point mentioned is: "It includes the in-admissibility of such punishment which Allah (swt) has made as the punishment of the Day of Judgement, which is fire. i.e. it is not permitted to punish by burning in fire." Then on page 82, middle of the page, it is mentioned: "The Law-giver has stipulated punishment for the culprits, and these are: killing, flogging, stoning, exile, cutting (severing), imprisonment, destruction of property, fines (penalties), libel and hot-pressing of any part of the body. It is not permitted to punishment anyone with anything other than these." The question is, how can the impermissibility of punishing by fire be reconciled with hot-pressing? Answer: Burning by fire means to place fire on the body of the person, like lighting fire and putting the person in it, or putting his hand or foot in it...or plac

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Some of the Crimes of Karimov, the President of Uzbekistan, and his Thugs and how the United States and the European Union Deals with Him Karimov and his thugs did not spare any kind of brutal torture in the prisons. He has employed torture in many prisons in Uzbekistan that are filled with innocents, particularly the shebaab from Hizb ut-Tahrir. This torture does not cease but is continuous over many years. Note that this party is a political party and does not adopt acts of violence, but limits to thoughts and this is a fact that is universally accepted. Under this brutal torture, hundreds of the shebaab of Hizb ut-Tahrir have been martyred. The most recent of these martyrs is Salah Kadhim Dinov. He was born in 1971 in the city of Andijan. The prison police brought his blessed body from San Karad to his home in Andijan on 16/01/2012. Karimov was not satisfied with torturing to death alone. He ordered his thugs, as usual, to force the family of the martyr

In November 2011 as the Egyptian elections in the legislative people’s assembly were taking place one of the Islamic parties published an article titled: ‘Tadurruj (gradualism) in the implementation of the Islamic Sharee'ah...its understanding and regulations'. The author began by saying that the implementation of the Sharee'ah is an Islamic obligation which cannot be questioned however he went on to argue that the method which Islam has provided for the implementation of the Islamic rules is that of Tadarruj. Meaning that the method of Islam is to implement its rules via a step by step approach, as opposed to a radical approach of implementing Islam in a complete and comprehensive manner. As evidence for his argument he brings the following two Aayaat of the Qur’aan which describe how Islam was not revealed in one go but was rather revealed gradually. Allah (swt) says: وَقُرۡءَانً۬ا فَرَقۡنَـٰهُ لِتَقۡرَأَهُ ۥ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ مُكۡثٍ۬ وَنَزَّلۡنَـٰهُ تَنزِيلاً۬ “And

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم "...the UN emerged chiefly as a result of an agreement among the great powers led at that time by Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin. They concluded that the founding of a world organization was in the interests of their respective states. One should ask why they concluded this and then set those reasons alongside the idealism." -- Mark Mazower The recent double veto by Russia and China against the UN resolution calling for Assad's removal has attracted much international criticism and has again exposed the role of the UN as a colonial tool for helping major powers to protect their interests in the Muslim world. The latest tussle at the UN is in many ways, a re-run of the Iraq vote in 2003 and demonstrates vividly the division of major powers on safeguarding their material interests in Syria.  Back then, Russia and France vetoed Anglo-American efforts to seek international legitimacy for their invasion of Iraq and the toppling of Saddam's regim

On the 15th of Rabee' ul-Awwal 1433, corresponding to 7th Februrary 2012, 107 Muslim scholars issued a declaration regarding the events in Syria. This statement included fatawa about the sanctity of the Muslims' blood and their right, and that it is impermissible for members of the army or security services to kill anyone or to remain in their posts. They expressed support for the (Syrian) Free Army, and called on the Arab and Islamic countries to take a serious position towards the Syrian regime, and towards the states supporting it, like Russia and China. In addition, they called on the opposition to join ranks so that they could build their state on the basis of justice, protection of rights, establishing the freedoms, and institutions that would protect the country and its interests. They also announced their support for any effort which would prevent shedding of the Syrian people's blood, and that such efforts should lead to free elections, a fair distri

The following is a translation from an Arabic Q&A from the Ameer of Hizb ut-Tahrir from the website of it's Media Office. Question: We read about secure and satisfying married life in the Book of Allah (swt) and His Prophet (saw), but in our times we observe great contradictions in the countries where we live, even among the married couple who are engaged in the da'wah work. Married couples may disagree on the choice of their home, on the issue of dealing with the parents of the groom or the bride or on the issue of visiting their relatives... and the husband's relatives who are cited as death... Each of the partners insists that it is his or her right or that it is his or her obligation, and they persist in their own opinion in the belief that each of them claims to be correct and rightful in accordance with the Shariah laws and refuses to budge from his position and make amends... What would be the advice, especially to those who are engaged in the da&

The following is the translation from an Arabic Q&A . Question A miracle [ mu'jizah ] is an extraordinary occurrence [ khāriqun lil ‘ādah ] and it occurs only at the hands of prophets and messengers. However the scholars also use the word ‘ karāmah '. They give it various definitions and attempt to establish its reality by many āyāt and ahādith . The question is: does what is called a ‘ karāmah ' exist or not? If the answer is yes we seek a comprehensive explanation in this matter, and if the answer is no, then how do we understand the story of the Ahl al-Kahf for instance or Ashāb al-Ukhdūd , or the saying of Umar ibn al-Khattāb (ra), ‘O Sāriya, the mountain!' Similarly the incident of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas in the Tigris river, and many like occurrences? Answer 1. Allah (swt) has created the universe, man, and life with particular laws and characteristics which man is not able to change or break. «لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تُدْرِكَ ا
