Islamic Revival

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم "The demise of the world is less significant before Allah than shedding the blood of a Muslim" * The Military Junta sheds the blood of the youth of Egypt, the Kinanah, for the sake of America and the Jewish entity. O Muslims, O people of Egypt, the Kinanah! The Abbasiyah tragedy has lifted the masks from the faces of the military council leaders, who were brought by America to protect its client regime as an alternative to Mubarak, who was its prime servant in the region, and to guard its interests and those of the Jewish entity. Today, the pure blood of the youth once again flowed in the streets of Cairo. This was a sacrifice offered to America by the leaders of the Military Council - a final effort by America to enforce its hegemony on the people of Egypt, the Kinanah, after it realised that replacing the old regime of Mubarak with new faces had failed. America has not hesitated to drive the country into chaos and suc

As part of our series on scholars of our age and the work for the re-establishment of Khilafah we present some brief details of one of the greatest living scholars today. Sheikh Abu Iyas Mahmoud bin Abdul Latif al-Uweida (may Allah [swt] protect him) is a respected Mujtahid in Jordan who has spent long years in the da'wah to resume the Islamic way of life through re-establishing the Khilafah. The Sheikh was a companion of the previous Ameer of Hizb ut-Tahrir, Sheikh Abdul Qadeem Zalloom rahimullah . Abu Iyas who is now quite elderly was imprisoned for a number of years in Jordan due to carrying the da'wah to uproot the corrupt government in Jordan as well as the other Muslim lands and replace them with a Khilafah Rashida . During one of his periods of imprisonment he was in the same prison as Sheikh Ata ibn Khaleel Abu Rashta , the present Ameer of Hizb ut-Tahrir. Sheikh Abu Iyas has authored various books including: الجامع  لأحكـام  الصلاة ‘Al-Jami li Ahkam as-

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ Opening speech of Hizb ut-Tahrir's Conference in Lebanon 1st May 2012 by Shaikh 'Ata ibn Khaleel Abu Rashta – Ameer of Hizb ut-Tahrir Dear brothers, Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Praise be to Allah; prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, his household, his companions and all of those who allied with him. Allah, subhanahu wata'ala says: وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارُ*مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِي رُءُوسِهِمْ لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ وَأَفْئِدَتُهُمْ هَوَاءٌ "Do not think Allah is heedless of the deeds of those who do wrong. He but gives them respite against a Day when the eyes will fixedly stare in horror. They run forward, with necks outstretched, their heads lifted up, their gaze returning not towards them, and their hearts a (gaping) void!" The Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم sa

Islam orders the Muslims to implement the rules and laws laid down by Allah (swt), and that the sovereignty belongs to Allah (swt) alone. This is known by necessity in Islam, as Allah (swt) has told us: وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ Whosoever rules by other than what Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers.  (Q. 5:44 ) However, electing candidates for and even participating within  kufr  systems is justified today through a number of spurious arguments which have either no or an extremely weak basis in Islamic jurisprudence.  Some of these common arguments are listed below with brief responses: 1.   The Prophet Yusuf (as) participated in a non-Islamic system, as a minister : Even if such an assertion were true (and there is nothing to substantiate such a claim), according to the majority of Usul scholars, the Shari`ah of those before the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him), is not considered to

The following are some reflections by Sheikh Mohammad Akram Nadwi delivered during a course on the topic recently. Today I will be talking about the maqasid of the Shari’ah. My main focus will be the argumentation, the reasoning, of great jurists of the early period. I will try to give the reasons, partly philosophical and partly historical, for the differences on this issue between the early and contemporary jurists. But I want to begin by explaining why it is important for us to be reflecting on this topic now. Many people, including some very learned and pious Muslims with the best of intentions, use the concept of maqasid to justify the acceptance by Muslims of legal norms and regulations which they consider to be authentically Islamic rulings or fully compatible with authentically Islamic rulings. In other words, they use the concept of maqasid as a source of Islamic law. They use it as a means of entering into the Shari’ah certain laws, for example the laws dealing wi
