Question: It is noticeable that the election process for the President of the Lebanese Republic is stumbling and the quota in the parliament has not been met. This matter has been repeated even though it is known that the real effective forces are represented in Hezbollah and its supporters, and in the Future Movement and its supporters. That is whilst it is well-known that Iran and Saudi are behind both of these factions. So what is the explanation for the failure to meet the quota whilst the powers supporting those sides, Iran and Saudi, are both loyal to America? Why are they working so that the quota is not met? There is also an additional matter and that relates to what is noticeable in terms of a heated tension between Saudi and Iran in Lebanon whilst both of them are loyal to America. So what is the reason for that? And may Allah reward you with goodness. Answer: The answer is made clear through the presentation of the following matters: 1 – The subject of the Leba...

This article is from Intellectual Issuance blog. All praise is due to the Almighty Allah ﷻ. I write this article in light of a recent student finance seminar led by my brother and senior in Islam, Shaykh Haitham Al-Haddad. I first wish to inform the reader of something that he/she should know; it is important that you think for yourself. Ever since our decline, we have forever passed on our cognition to another on matters that we are able to evaluate, leaving our minds desolate and unable to understand a given reality. For those who question the validity of this article, please know it is built upon the work of the eminent mujtahid Sheikh Taqiuddin al-Nabahani, whom graduated from Al-Azhar University and the Dar-ul-Ulum college of Cairo, primarily upon his two renowned books; ‘Economic System in Islam’ and ‘Islamic Personality’, both of which I will cite here: Al-Nabhani, T., 1990.  The Economic System In Islam .  Fourth edition.London: Al-Khilafa...

Question:                                                                As-Salaam Alaikum Sheikh, may Allah grant you a long life to witness the victory, InshaAllah. I have a question about the difference between Khair (good) and Shar (evil), and Husn (pretty) and Qubh (ugly)?

From Abu Qusay Answer : Wa Alaikum As-Salaam Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu A. Husn (pretty) and Qubh (ugly), and Khair (good) and Shar (evil) are terminologies used by the scholars of jurisprudence and the unders...

Our soils have turned to a showdown arena for the colonial interests of the US and Western states whom Turkey regards as its allies. Behind any chaos, slaughter and terror on whatever soil on this earth, there are these blood-sucking capitalist countries. These countries wage their colonial wars between each other through the hands of the subcontractor groups they support in order to maintain their economic and political interests in the Muslim lands. And those who die are always the Muslims and innocent civilians. In spite of all these facts, Turkey still continues its cooperation and friendship with the colonial powers. We as Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey have shared this fact with the public after every conducted atrocious act, and warned politicians and leaders. After the bomb attack in Suruç on July 20, 2105, “we said that  “The True Perpetrators of the Blast in Suruç are the Colonialist Western Powers Who Drown the World in Oppression, Blood and Tears” , and we express...

Question: Assalaamu Alaikum our honourable Sheikh, I would like to ask you a question regarding public ownership.  Can a private ownership transfer to a public ownership in accordance to the Shariah rules, like transferring water springs from a private ownership into public property if that is needed for the public good? And if the public no longer needs it, does it revert as private property? Similar to oil wells when they are depleted, can they become a private property? Thank you, and May Allah help you and make your foothold strong, Wa Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu From Nadir Az-Za’tari Answer: Wa Alaikum us Salaam Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu, If any type of public ownership was as a result of a divine reason (‘ illah ), then the rule will follow this divine reason, whether it exists or in its absence. If the  ‘illah  is present then that public ownership will remain, but if it was absent, then it will be permitted to privatel...

On Monday the 7th of March, it was “breaking news” that the city council of Aarhus (second largest city of Denmark), decided to withdraw the approval and support of a large central mosque. A project that has been on the way for 17 years. The reason was a several-episode “documentary” that, by use of hidden cameras and moles, “exposed” how imams in different mosques taught in Shariah and gave Islamic advice. Comment: The documentary has caused much disturbance in Denmark, and raised a new debate about Islam and Shariah. Danish politicians have stumbled over each other to come with new measurements to avoid the rise of Islamic awareness among Muslims. Among the proposal have been “exit-programs” as for bikers and gang members. A certification of imams, to ensure that they conform to secular democratic values. More offers for young Muslims who want to run away from home. A strong call to young Muslims to rebel against their parents and Islam and other proposals alike. These pro...
