Islamic Revival

The following is a translation from Arabic. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Answer to Question Question: There have been media reports that the Turkish government obtained approval of the United States which has occupied Iraq including the Kurd region for launching its armed offensive in northern Iraq (Kurdistan). Official Turkish and US government sources have confirmed this report. This is despite the fact that since the US occupies Iraq and its Kurd region, the security of these areas becomes the responsibility of the US, yet it permitted the Turkish government to launch attacks! Does this mean that America has bartered the Kurd region of Iraq for its interests in Turkey which are far more vital to it than the Kurd region of Iraq? Answer: It is true that America is in occupation of Iraq, and an external aggression on it is tantamount to an attack on the US in a sense, which requires America not to permit any state to wage war on Iraq so long as it is in occupation. Similarly it is also true

The following is a translation from Arabic. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Question: It has been said in our books that a poor person is one who does not have sufficient resources to satisfy his basic needs (food, clothing and shelter) and zakat can be paid to him. But there are other needs which are almost similar to the basic needs and the Islamic State used to fulfill such needy persons from the bait ul maal of the Muslims like education, marriage assistance, medical treatment etc... In these times, we do not have an Islamic State that fulfills such needs, hence the question is: Is it possible to pay for such needs from zakat under? 1. Non-existence of an Islamic State to cover such needs. 2. Certain jurists (Fuqaha) have permitted this under specific conditions. 3. These needs are not novelty or luxury needs but are similar to basic needs. Then, if we were to follow the jurists’ opinion, would we be violating from the adoption? Answer: When we defined a needy person (faqeer), who

The following is a translation from Arabic, please refer to the original for exact meanings. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The political struggle (Al-Kifaah As-Siyaasiy) and the intellectual clash (As-Siraa’ Al-Fikriy) Question: It was mentioned in the publication: ‘Political motivation’ issued by the Hizb, that the political struggle is a style (Usloob) and not a method (Tareeqah). If the matter is like that i.e. the political struggle and intellectual clash being an Usloob (style) and not a Tareeqah (method),  then does this mean that the interaction stage is that which is from the Tareeqah (method) whilst that which occurs during it in terms of political and intellectual actions are styles (Asaaleeb). I would like this to be answered in the context of the knowledge that there are clear Aayaat in the Qur’aan Al-Kareem demonstrating the political struggle and intellectual struggle targeting the heads of Kufr from the Quraish? Answer: Yes the interaction is from the Ta

The following is a translation from Arabic: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Answers to Political Questions First: As per the preliminary results of vote count in the Pakistan Elections announced yesterday after counting of 222 out of 272 National Assembly seats, it appears that the Pakistani Peoples Party, the PPP which was led by Benazir Bhutto secured 73 seats and the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz group), the PML (N) won 63 seats, while the Muslim League (Quaed) or the PML (Q), led by Musharraf won merely 29 seats. This picture reflects the final outcome… and is sufficient evidence of the growing unpopularity of Musharraf. Does this indicate that America’s influence is waning in Pakistan while the British influence is on the rise there through the Bhutto’s party? To answer the query, it is necessary to mention the following points: 1. When Musharraf threw himself into America’s lap and supported its war in Afghanistan, it was abundantly clear that his popularity among Muslims has declin

A BBC news report on 26/2/2008 on radio and on-line reported that the Department of Religious Affairs at Ankara University Turkey was preparing to carry out a fundamental revision of the Hadith, citing that it would be “a revolutionary reinterpretation of Islam - and a controversial and radical modernisation of the religion. The directorate's deputy director says that the BBC report misportrayed their work, speaking with Zaman on Wednesday , Dr. Mehmet Görmez, the directorate's deputy director, said: "Our project is not aimed at effecting a radical renewal of the religion, as is claimed by the BBC. Our objective is to help our citizens attain a better understanding of the hadith. Though I underlined several times during our interview with a BBC reporter that our project cannot be considered a reformation of Islam, he distorted the facts, saying Turkey is preparing to publish a document that represents a revolutionary reinterpretation of Islam -- and a controversial and ra

Readers are suggested to read the passage in perspective to the vilification of Islam by its enemies and the growth of Islamic spirit in Muslims . In the Name of Allah, The most Beneficent, The most Merciful Islam thrives in adversities. So, thank you adversaries, for your actions are helping us to move almost effortlessly in uniting the Muslim world under the umbrella of a single Khalifah. Had you not been so aggressive in opposing Islam, our work would have been that bit laborious. Apart from the help we are getting from you, we derive the conviction in the correctness of our path and the frailty of yours. The desperation of Erdogan(s) and Bush(s) around the world is too evident to be concealed. The most docile and unassuming Muslim is sitting up and asking, "What is it that the enemy is dead afraid of us? Which is that power in us that we have ourselves not recognized yet, while the enemy has morbid fear?" The answers to these prying questions presume that Islam is a p
