Islamic Revival

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم On the 45th anniversary of Hafez Assad sale of the Golan Heights to the Jewish State, we bring to the Muslims in Syria the news of the imminent fall of the treacherous regime of Assad (Translated) Throughout those days of June 1967, the Arab rulers at the time committed a heinous crime against the Muslim ummah. During those six days, they enabled the Jewish state to defeat the armies of the Muslim ummah in Egypt, Jordan and Syria, led by their criminal leaders, including Hafez Assad in Syria, who announced the fall of Qunaitra one whole day before the entry of the enemy to the Golan Heights. The town of Qunaitra was located behind the lines of the Syrian army fighting then in the Golan Heights; thus leading to the disruption and withdrawal of the army. On that fateful day, Hafiz Assad, the agent of the West received authority in Damascus as a prize for selling off the Golan Heights. So, Syria was struck many times under the leadership of this criminal f

Slavery Part 2: Solving the Issue of Slavery The honourable shaykh and  mujtahid  Imam Taqi al-Din al-Nabhani (d.1977) writes in his masterpiece  al-Shakhsiyya al-Islamiyya  (‘The Islamic Personality’): [1] Islam solved the problem of slavery with a solution that leads to relieving its imposition as well as a solution leading to full emancipation whether through one’s choice or not. There are many rulings in this regard that the fuqaha’  have explained with the utmost detail. What follows are only brief discussions of these rulings: [1] When Islam came, people owned slaves [2]  and solved the problem of slavery amongst the owners with a solution that seeks to endow the slaves with rights as well as to establish the fact that they are human beings equal to any free person in their natural and intrinsic attributes that can be found in human beings. [3]  Allah Most High in many verses in the Noble Qur’an and His Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace) in many noble  had

Slavery Part 1: Context Islam’s Position on Slavery and taking Slaves The honourable shaykh and  mujtahid  Imam Taqi al-Din al-Nabhani (d.1977) writes in his masterpiece  al-Shakhsiyya al-Islamiyya  (‘The Islamic Personality’): Islam came when slavery was already in existence all over the world. The system of slavery was widespread in all parts of the world and all societies. No known part of the world was free from trading slaves or taking free persons as slaves. [1]  No known society was without slavery. Islam looked at this problem as being connected to two aspects: One aspect is related to persons being taken as slaves by force ( alladhi istaraqqu bi ’l-fi`l ) and deemed inferior in status then their free counterparts. They were also considered commodities ( sil`a ) to be bought and sold like other commodities. Hence it was necessary to solve this issue in a way that led to the emancipation of these slaves, i.e. to free them. As for the second aspect, it is related to taki

Audio of Khutba given by Sheikh Abu Talha Malkawi in the past.

“Imam Ibn Taymiyya, the Rawafida,  Takfir  and People of Bid`a…Reflections” Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyya (Allah have mercy on him) states: وأما مسائل العقائد فكثير من الناس كفر المخطئين فيها، وهذا القول لا يعرف عن أحد من الصحابة والتابعين لهم بإحسان ولا عن أحد من أئمة المسلمين وإنما هو في الأصل من أقوال أهل البدع الذين يبتدعون بدعة ويكفرون من خالفهم كالخوارج والمعتزلة والجهمية ووقع ذلك في كثير من أتباع الأئمة كبعض أصحاب مالك والشافعي وأحمد وغير هم   وقد يسلكون في التكفير ذلك فمنهم من يكفر أهل البدع مطلقا ثم يجعل كل من خرج عما هو عليه من أهل البدع وهذا بعينه قول الخوارج والمعتزلة الجهمية وهذا القول أيضا يوجد في طائفة من أصحاب الأئمة الأربعة وليس هو قول الأئمة الأربعة ولا غيرهم وليس فيهم من كفر كل مبتدع بل المنقولات الصريحة عنهم تناقض ذلك ولكن قد ينقل عن أحدهم أنه كفر من قال بعض الأقوال ويكون مقصوده أن هذا القول كفر ليحذر ولا يلزم إذا كان القول كفرا أن يكفر كل من قاله مع الجهل والتأويل فإن ثبوت الكفر في حق الشخص المعين كثبوت الوعيد في الآخرة في حقه وذلك له شروط وموانع “As for do

Tafsir  of  Surat  al-Baqara:104 by Shaykh `Ata’ Ibn Khalil Abu Rashta “O Believers, don’t say to the Messenger of Allah ‘ ra`ina’ …” Allah says in the Noble Qur’an: { O you who believe! Don’t say [to the Messenger, Peace be upon him]  ‘ra`ina’  but say  ‘unzurna’  (i.e. ‘do make us understand’) and listen. And for the disbelievers there is a painful torment. Those who disbelieved from the people of the Book and the polytheists did not like that there should be sent down to you any good from your Lord. But Allah chooses for His Mercy whom He wills. And Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty }. Shaykh `Ata’ ibn Khalil (Allah protect him) comments on this verse: “Allah explains in these two verses the following: [1] when a word acquires a technical sense ( madlul ), i.e. a literal common technical meaning ( haqiqa `urfiyya khassa ) [1]  and its use becomes established in reality, then a ruling will be given according to this [new] technical meaning and not according to the lex
