Islamic Revival

Read the following news article below. If the 'War on terror' is not a war on Islam then why is Bush attacking the concept of Caliphate (Khilafah) which is a definitive fundamental part of Islam, the obligation of which is established by the Quran, the Sunnah and Ijma as-Sahaba (consensus of the companions of the Prophet)? The desire for the return of the caliphate is not limited to a few militants as some attempt to portray, it is an essential part of Islam which every Islamic scholar in history has agreed upon. [The following article gives many quotes from leading scholars in history about it Clear Evidences for the Obligation of the Khilafah ]. Bush warns of Iraqi caliphate Tue Sep 5, 2006 10:35 PM BST By Steve Holland WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush vowed on Tuesday to prevent al Qaeda from setting up a violent, radical Islamic empire based in Iraq, which he said was Osama bin Laden's ultimate goal. "We know what the terrorists intend to do bec

The following is the draft translation of some points taken from a release issued on 26 Rajab 1427 AH/20 August 2006 CE: The workers for Khilafah expressed loudly the words of truth and the call of faith after the Friday prayer on 19.08.2006 for the crowds of Muslims in different Masjids in Amman, Zarqa, Ruseifa and Irbid, reminding the Muslims of the demolishment of the Khilafah state on 28 Rajab 1342 AH, and making them aware that the elimination of the Khilafah state is the cause of all the disasters which inflicted them, and calling them to work with to restore the Khilafah state which Rasulallah (saw) gave glad tidings of. The oppression apparatus in Jordan arrested a number of the Shabab and pursued others, the arrest of Dr. Ramzi Sawalha -who gave the speech in Al-Tillawi Masjid in Sweileh- was confirmed, when the coward security men pursued him after leaving the Masjid, they pointed their weapons at the worshippers and threatened to shoot at them if they tried to protect him,

The following is a draft translation of an Arabic leaflet issued in Syria by Islamic activists working for the re-establishment of Khilafah. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم If Not Ashamed, Do Whatever You Wish The president of the Syrian system said in his last speech on 15.08.2006 that the peace process had failed or died “Lately we are talking continuously about the death of the peace process…. And before that we talked about the failure of the peace process…. And all this talk is correct and undoubted” hence it is the resistance which liberates the land! “We are convinced that the natural path to achieve peace is negotiations, but when this path fails or is originally unavailable… then the resistance with all its aspects is the alternative for achieving the rights” he mentioned the liberating of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon for Southern Lebanon in the year 2000, as an example on that “We used to tell them that this resistance will liberate Lebanon… some said, that it is nothing more tha

The following is an extract from the draft translation of the arabic book entitled 'Dawa ilal Islam' (Dawa to Islam) by Sheikh Ahmad Mahmoud, published by Al-Waie Publications in Lebanon. I will be posting the sections of the book related to this subject. Is it allowed to have more than one movement calling to Islam? We have tried, in the different sections of this book, to give a complete and integrated vision that can form a program for any movement, party or group. We did not congest it with details; rather we gave the fundamentals that must be adhered to whilst leaving the details to the group and its mujtahideen. Today in this field of work there are many approaches that are not founded on a correct basis. It can be said that many groups have not fullfilled the conditions required by the Shar’a. They are nothing short of gatherings of Muslims that wish to do partial work. They do not even solve the partial problems, and they fail to have a complete Shar’ee vision. Conseque

The culture of the group Since the situation of the Ummah requires change, working for change necessitates political work via a political structure that is established on the ideology of Islam. Therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics and constituent elements of the structure, and of the previous structures in order to understand the reason for their failure and how to avoid it. It is especially important to study the structural aspect. This aspect is part of the subject of styles. In origin the styles are left for the Muslim to choose in respect of their correctness and suitability for the work. This forms one of the topics of the party culture. - Since the Muslims live in societies where there are mixed though

I will be posting the sections of the book related to this subject. The method of Islam in understanding the ahkaam (rules) The work that a group or party does in enjoining the ma’roof and forbidding the munkar related to establishing the deen, must be based on the necessary knowledge of the Shar’a. This is because, as we have explained earlier, there is no action without knowledge, and there is no worship of Allah (swt) without knowledge and sincere intention to Allah (swt). So what are the limits of the required Shar’ee knowledge for this group? What is the culture to develop the group with and on whose basis its Shabab will be built and the Ummah will be prepared? Enjoining the ma’roof and forbidding the munkar takes place based on this obligatory Shar’ee knowledge, which the group must adh
