Islamic Revival

The following is a draft translation of an Arabic politcal analysis article written by Islamic activists in the Arab world. On 13 July 2006 the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline project -which is also called Caspian-Mediterranean line- was officially completed, it will transport the petrol of the Caspian in a detoured line towards the lands under the Soviet influence, the Armenian lands and the Turkish straits. To realize the importance of this oil pipeline, it is important to mention the importance of Caspian oil related to the international oil markets. The basin of the Caspian consists of two banks, the east bank which is Caucasia, and the west bank which is Central Asia, that means the Caspian basin includes five countries: Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Iran. Azerbaijan is the only country which contains oil and gas reserve in a prominent way, as for Armenia and Georgia, they have only a little reserve. The importance of Georgia lies in its being a crossing coun

The following is the draft translation from Arabic of a political analysis article written by Islamic activists in the Muslim world: To clarify the image we have to go a little backwards: Towards the end of the seventies, since Carter’s era, when the political solutions for the issues of the region began to take a serious path under the sponsorship of America, which originated the ill-omened agreement of Camp David in 1978, and the plan of America is still being continued after it: (to make the Syrian path proceed the path of the Palestinian solution or at least not to be delayed from it). Regan continued after Carter -in the eighties- on the same track. Then, Bush the father came, and followed the same method, by trying to find a solution for the problem, which they called the Middle East crisis, and to solve it in a compromise which will include Syria, and then Lebanon (because America “granted” Lebanon to Syria since the entering of the Syrian deterring forces in 1975 and until it b

The following is translation from the Arabic of a leaflet that was circulated in the Muslim world by the workers for Khilafah, with some slight ammendment: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Lebanon Burns… And the Muslim Rulers see its burning as a heating stove, happy that it is alight! O Muslims, Enough is enough! There is no excuse here for the one seeking an excuse, nor any justification for the one seeking to justify. He who turns a blind eye to the treachery and betrayal of Palestine and Lebanon by the (Muslim) rulers is in reality one of them. He who does not expend his effort in mobilising the armies and removing the barriers placed in front of these armies by the rulers, his is a portion of their betrayal. He who does the above indeed supports the debasing of the Ummah at the hands of these rulers who have their hands on its neck, whilst at the same time they support and protect its enemies, and participate in its slaughter day and night! He also indeed assists in the degrading of the arm

INTRODUCTION An ideology can generally be defined as a set of related concepts and beliefs that constitutes the basis of the political, economic, social system. Upon further scrutiny of the fundamentals and essence of any ideology and application, one arrives at the understanding that an ideology invariably includes a method or technique by which its ideas can be realised. Hence, we understand that an ideology consists of two main elements: Idea and Method. In light of this, we must seek to confine all out actions, in the pursuit of the revival, to the method which emanates from our ideology. Failure to do this will result in our carrying out actions which do not emanate from the Islamic ideology, thus negating the Islamic goals and objectives. In order to comprehend the realm of actions considered as part of the Islamic method, we must understand the nature and distinction of what constitutes Means, Style, and Plans as well as the concept of Strategy and Tactics. IDEA (Fikrah) The ter

Introduction As Muslims, obeying Allah and His messenger is a must. Muslims have the obligation to know what Allah wants in order to fulfill this obedience. This knowledge must cover the entire problem that Muslims face. To fulfill this need, a specific knowledge is required in order to reach the correct answer. This includes knowledge of the Qur'an and Sunnah, an understanding of the Arabic language, and an understanding of the method to interpret the Qur'an and Sunnah in order to derive rules for new problems. Initially, Muslims had the ability to derive rules for problems they faced during their time. Later, Muslims started to abandon and neglect this issue. They became unable to derive new rules for new problems, thus becoming stagnant as a result of acquiring more problems and no solutions. Many reasons caused this stagnation and decline, which is going on until now. This decline resulted in the misunderstanding of Usul-ul Fiqh. Therefore, studying Usul-ul Fiqh is a must i
