Islamic Revival

The following is the translation of an Arabic article. The idea of establishing an Islamic Emirate poses a challenge to the Islamic project or movement and the establishment of the Khilafah Some may find this statement strange despite it being the true reality and that is that the idea of an Islamic Emirate as understood by the Jihaadi Salafi movement poses a danger within the Islamic project. The Islamic Emirate does not have a Shar'i basis and it is a counter-productive idea politically and this has been confirmed in the examples in which this idea has been represented. No shape of ruling or form of authority has been reported from the Nabi (saw) except for the Khilafah. The idea of an Emirate does not mean anything according to the Islamic concept outside of the framework of the Khilafah.

Bismillahi Al-Rahman Al-Raheem A Lion upon the Elderly, Women and Children; While an Ostrich in Wars! Bashar the Tyrant shells the People of Syria in Response to the Jewish Aggression on Syria! The Jewish entity’s aircraft struck vital Syrian areas on 05/05/2013, and prior to this had raided other vital facilities on 05/03/2013… All this is a continuation of the repeated aggression on Syria; firstly hovering over Bashar’s house, then a strike on the Ein Saheb training center, then on vital facilities in Deir ez-Zor on September 2007, as well as three consecutive attacks this year in January, and in early May! These are longstanding new raids carried out by the Jewish entity whenever and however they wish! However, what is new is that in the past raids, the Syrian regime would merely repeat “We will respond at the right time and at the right place,” only being content with a victory of staying safe, without a response or action! But in the last three raids this year they have d...

Question: Praise is for Allah and Prayer and Peace be upon Allah's Messenger and his family and companions. The view of the Sunnis and the community that it is not permissible to rebel against the ruling authority, except if outright disbelief appears, because in the hadith of Ubadah bin as-Samit  "We gave the pledge (Bay'a) to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم on hearing and obedience at the difficult and easy situation, on what we like and dislike and on preference over ourselves; and that we have not to dispute the people with their authority, unless you see an open kufr, upon which you have a proof from Allah the Supreme." Please answer the following: Why did Hizb ut-Tahrir enjoin upon the youth to adopt the physical work in Syria, yet the rulers are one in the Arab countries, whilst the situation or case of the rulers is one and the same? The answer: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Noble brother, here is the answer to your question: Firstly:  It ...

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The date of the Malaysian general election was announced by the Prime Minister of Malaysia to fall on the 5 th  of May 2013. On the 20 th  of April, candidate contesting in the elections were nominated and this saw the beginning of the ‘democratic festival'. This election is arguably the hottest in all the history of elections in Malaysia. Right after the nomination, it was reported that a total of 61 ex-ruling party leaders and members will be contesting as independent candidates, willing to be expelled from the party simply because they do not agree with the candidates appointed by the president. Meanwhile, the opponents saw 7 places where opposition component parties compete against each other after failing to reach a consensus. At any rate, after the nomination of candidates, the election campaign is now getting hotter with talks, war of flags, posters and banners as well as war through the media, not to mention the virtual media. So too are t...
