Islamic Revival

After 11 years of war  (more than WW1 & WW2 combined), after the deaths of countless innocents and spending in excess of $640 billion, the worlds most advanced military – the USA, has finally conceded defeat in Afghanistan. The US has accepted it will have to negotiate  directly with the Taliban effectivley an admission it has failed to defeat them. On the day security in a number of towns was handed over to Afghan security forces, President Obama announced direct negotiations, he  said :   “This is an important first step toward reconciliation, although it is a very early step.”  The Taliban in a  press conference said :  “In order to elucidate this policy the Islamic Emirate has deemed it essential to open the political office in the Islamic country of Qatar.”   In Khilafah.com’s annual publication -  Strategic Estimate 2013 , US-Taliban negotiations was outlined as an important event of 2013: “After a decade of war   the US and her allies have failed miserably in defeat

By  Abu Anas  Hezbollah has sent its fighters to Syria betting it can save the Assad regime. The city of Qusair was captured by the Assad forces and its militia on June 5th. Additionally, Hezbollah sent its fighters to Damascus and its suburbs. The Assad regime vowed to retake many of the rebel-held areas, especially in Aleppo, with the support of Hezbollah. Numerous analysts have suggested that Hezbollah's support to the regime has and will change the balance of the war between the rebels and the Assad regime. Is Hezbollah capable of winning a war that a fully armed regime, with tens of thousands of militiamen, has lost? There are 7 reasons why Hezbollah might stumble and falter in its adventure to save the Assad regime from the momentum of its rising people who have suffered under its oppression for over 40 years. Ranging from structurally intrinsic aspects, to local Lebanese elements, to external factors, the reasons can be summarized as follows: High casualties s

The following is the transcript of a talk recently delivered on this subject. Please note some of the script is in the form of bullet points. كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ “You are the best of the nation raised up for mankind because you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in Allah” [TMQ Ale-Imran: 110] In the light of this verse I want to begin my subject today with the topic that has been on the lips of every Muslim in this country over the last week and the topic that has dominated the media – the dramatic killing of a British soldier on a street in Woolwich, London. As usual the media has gone into overdrive in demonising Islam and Muslims with its usual characterisation of Islam as backward and violent. All sorts arguments have been made trying to link violence and the political aspects of Islam so they are trying to polarise the debate so either: ·     

                                   On June 15 2013, Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi declared that he had severed ties with Bashar al Assad's regime. He said, "We decided today to entirely break off relations with Syria and with the current Syrian regime." Furthermore, Morsi expressed full support for the Syrian people. He said, "The Egyptian people supports the struggle of the Syrian people, materially and morally, and Egypt, its nation, leadership ... and army, will not abandon the Syrian people until it achieves its rights and dignity." Echoing Western sentiments Morsi also endorsed the implementation of a no fly zone in Syria. The flurry of announcements came at a conference organized by Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo. Earlier, a delegation of clerics headed by Youssef El-Qaradawy; head of the Association of Muslim Scholars met Morsi and issued a call for jihad against Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and his allies, condemning the conflict

As-Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu What is behind the Qatari generosity upon the Arabic Spring? From Imad Ad-Dabaas Answer : Wa Alaikum us Salaam Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu Dear brother Syria is currently a region of intense struggle: a) It is a region of American reign since Hafez and Bashar; consequently America has realized through the current situation that Bashar is in a state of decline (ruling) that is rejected by the people. Furthermore, it is unable to implement the American interests as it was once able via Bashar and his father. Therefore it is currently working to find a replacement agent to take the place of the current agent by way of preparing mechanisms like the National Council and the Alliance. b) And now their inventions are rejected internally since they strive for a secular civil state whilst the sentiments of the people are Islamic. They will not sacrifice all that has been sacrificed simply for the regime to resume as it was to

As-Salaamu Alaikum , I have a comment about one of the pages from the book, Hizb ut Tahrir, which was written in 09/05/1985 that describes the Hizb. On page 20, I have found that the Hizb's method in describing its party makes itself nearer to the level of a deity and maybe this is a reason for the delay in achieving our victory up until now. This is because it states in the book: 'It has avoided all of the shortcomings and causes that have led to the failure of the movements that were established to revive Muslims by Islam'. Here it (the Hizb) has denied for itself the characteristic of making errors and this characteristic is reserved alone for the Lord of the worlds since every creation errs. However had you stated this and added by the permission of Allah then perhaps this would have been a cause for Allah aiding us. Just as the book states: 'In fact the Ummah must embrace it and proceed with it because it is the only (al-waheed) party that manifests its idea...
