Islamic Revival

"O you who believe! fear Allah as He should be feared and die not except in a state of Islam." [TMQ 3:102] Allah (swt) in the Quran emphasises the concept of Taqwa to us many times in the Quran. Taqwa is one of the most profound concepts in Islam. Taqwa is an avenue by which Muslims relate to one another in society and a means to channel their actions. Because of the great importance of taqwa, it has been referred to numerous times in the Qur’an and Sunnah in order to emphasise its relevance and significance to the Muslims. Allah (swt) strongly emphasises the rewards of people with taqwa in this life and the Hereafter. It is these muttaqeen that Allah (swt) grants assistance, victory and provides for. Thus, understanding the concept of taqwa is vital and mandatory for every Muslim. Unfortunately, this is the very concept which some of us have left behind, as a result of intellectual decline. The disbelievers in the distant past, as well as in present times, have understood th

We are faced with a harsh reality today; a reality in which the wound of Palestine continues to bleed and the crusaders continue their attack occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan and our other lands. Some from amongst us have begun to feel that the situation has deteriorated with no hope of salvation. The feeling of helplessness has crept into their hearts when they witness the continuous barrage of attack against Islam and the Muslims. We should realise that this hardship that has befallen the Ummah is not the only hardship that it has witnessed. In fact when we look back to history it is apparent that the Islamic Ummah has overcome difficult situations that at first glance would look impossible to overcome. One such example is one of the famous battles of our beloved Messenger Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), the battle of Ahzab. Allah (Subhnahu Wa ta’aala) chose this name for a Surah (chapter) in the Qur’an. This battle was against an unholy alliance or coalition not too dissimilar

Humanity has seen many problems and experienced many crises and calamities throughout its history, from the time of Aadam (as) to the current age. Today, the current generation is witnessing an extreme form of corruption and brutality which is spreading misery over the whole world. The capitalist ideology has made the world a playground for the powerful and rich to pillage and plunder the land, lives and wealth of the masses. As a result of these circumstances and this onslaught many people can start to feel overwhelmed and feel that they themselves are completely unable to change their situation. The Christians and the Jews were the first who when facing hardships instead of increasing their resolve to tackle them began to talk about the end of the world and the second coming. They justified their fatalistic behaviour and inaction to tackle the problems they faced by stating that they would be saved by the second coming. Today when Muslims face tremendous difficulties and challenges i

The following is the draft translation of an arabic leaflet issued by Islamic activists in the Muslim world. Note: The Jews referred to in the leaflet are the Zionist Jews which support the illegal state of Israel. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The blood of Lebanon is being sold by a fatal resolution in the market of the American-French clash and with the blessing and collusion of the rulers in the Muslim Lands! Issued today was the Security Council resolution 1701 related to the savage aggression - which reached the men, mountains and stone - of the Israeli State. The resolution used the phrase ‘cessation of offensive military operations’ instead of an absolute ceasefire, and the withdrawal of the Israeli army with the deployment of an international force and the Lebanese army, each consisting of 15 000 soldiers. The resolution also included the withdrawal of Hizbullah’s soldiers to the north of the Litani River, and the implementation of resolution 1559 which requires the disarmament of Hiz

Taken from: www.mykhilafah.com Open Communique In Response To The Declaration Of The OIC Emergency Meeting In Kuala Lumpur - on the issue of the Israeli Attacks on Lebanon and Palestine “And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? - Men, women, and children, whose cry is: ‘Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!’”[TMQ An Nisa:75] Leaders of the Islamic Ummah, Assalamu’alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, All Praises be upon Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala and may His blessings be upon the Messenger Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam. We are forced to send you this word of truth at this critical time following your shameful declaration and wasted opportunity in Kuala Lumpur. To call you instead, to rise to your duties and to take the solution from Islam, so that your gathering in Kuala Lumpur would not be a wast

The following is an excellent article about the recent so-called terror plot in the UK. It is written by the ex-ambassador of UK to Uzbekistan. As Britain's outspoken Ambassador to the Central Asian Republic of Uzbekistan, Craig Murray helped expose vicious human rights abuses by the US-funded regime of Islam Karimov. He is now a prominent critic of Western policy in the region. By Craig Murray 08/14/06 "Information Clearing House" -- -- I have been reading very carefully through all the Sunday newspapers to try and analyse the truth from all the scores of pages claiming to detail the so-called bomb plot. Unlike the great herd of so-called security experts doing the media analysis, I have the advantage of having had the very highest security clearances myself, having done a huge amount of professional intelligence analysis, and having been inside the spin machine. So this, I believe, is the true story. None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a pla

The following is a transcript I prepared at the request of at the request of one of the Ulema in Africa who was delivering a speech on this subject at a conference for the Ulema. Dear brothers today I want to discuss a vital subject which I believe is a key issue for us all and should be at the heart of our discussion today – the importance of addressing the reality of the Ummah and the issues that affect them. The responsibility of the Ulema The Prophet (saw) said: "إن العلماء ورثة الأنبياء، إن الأنبياء لم يورثوا ديناراً ولا درهماً، إنما ورثوا العلم، فمن أخذ به فقد أخذ بحظ وافر" “The Ulema are the inheritors of the prophets, the prophets did not bequeath dinars or dirhams, but they bequeathed knowledge, so he who takes it will take an abundant chance” We know that they cannot be the inheritors in Prophethood as this ended with the final Messenger Muhammad (saw), rather it means they are inheritors in the sense of responsibility of spreading the Deen, working to
