International Ulema Khilafah conference - Pakistan Speech

The following is the english translation of the speech delivered at the International Ulema Khilafah Conference held in Jakarta, Indonesia on behalf of the Ulema of Pakistan: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The misery of the Islamic Ummah- Causes and solution All Praise be to Allah, all thanks for His blessings, as is beheld in His glory and dignity and His great power, and the best of all Praises and Peace upon His chosen Messenger, who conveyed the Message, and honored the trust, and advised the Ummah and resolved confusion, and upon his family, his Companions and whosoever emulates them in goodness until the Day of Judgment. To begin: Despite the potential of our Islamic Ummah, its vast geographical extents, its many open and hidden treasures, today it is like mere froth upon a stream, she has no power or strength due to the absence of the central leadership that ensures the Ummah as a single entity. The Islamic Ummah had the Khaleefah as its central leadership, but this is no longer the cas

If you are not ashamed, then do what you please...

The following is the translation of an Arabic leaflet widely circulated in the Muslim world. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم «إذا لم تستحْيِ فاصنع ما شئت» If you are not ashamed, then do what you please Rulers of Turkey are out of their minds and remain unremorseful!! The rulers of Turkey have been saying in their official gazettes and media releases that the official spokesman of Hizb ut Tahrir in Turkey has been in contact with one of Mossad’s agents! They have also been saying that the conference of Hizb ut Tahrir, the Khilafah conference which was scheduled to be held on 26th July, 2009, wanted to carry out terrorist bombings…!! The Turkish officials have also been saying that in order to serve the interests of the Jews, Hizb ut Tahrir wanted to assassinate Erdogan, the godfather and mastermind of the negotiations with the Jews. And thus they have been issuing statements of all sorts….! These rulers of Turkey are the successors of the Jew who went about under the name of Mustafa Kemal Pasha

Polygamy – The Cause of ‘Social Breakdown’?

Newsnight’s recent report into polygamy highlighted how the practice was on the increase within the Muslim community in the UK, despite it being reportedly on the decrease in the Muslim world. The report sought to understand the effects polygamy has on family life, and why Muslims in the UK may be taking it up. The report interviewed a woman who had been in a polygamous marriage and found it a negative experience. She claimed polygamy was not about ‘religion’, but about ‘Men out there’ who were ‘abusing women’. Shadow Cohesion Secretary, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, raised her concerns about polygamy in the report, claiming that many of her female constituents are suffering within the practice, and she felt strongly that the Government was turning a ‘blind eye’ to it and the ‘social breakdown’ it was causing. It is interesting that this report very vividly laid out polygamy within the Muslim community being the reason for social breakdown as well as the abuse and exploitation of women in so

Chapter 3: There is No Hukm Prior to the Coming of the Shar’ (continued… )

The following is the draft english translation from the Usul Al-Fiqh masterpiece of the Arabic book الشخصية الاسلاميَة الجزء الثالث (The Islamic Personality Volume 3 ) by Sheikh Taqiuddin an-Nabhani. Please refer to the original Arabic for accurate meanings. Chapter 3 continued… There is No Hukm Prior to the Coming of the Shar’ One issue remains: does the Islamic Shari’ah encompass the rulings of all matters that have passed, all the present problems, as well as all those matters that may occur in the future? The answer to this is that there is no event which occurs, issue which arises, or incident which takes place but that it has a hukm. The Islamic Shari’ah has encompassed all the actions of man entirely. Nothing occurred in the past, nor is there anything in the present or possible thing occurring in the future except that all these have a hukm in the Shari’ah. Allah the Exalted says: «وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ تِبْيَاناً لِّكُلِّ شَيْء» “And we sent down to you the book
