Islamic Revival

Question: To: Moadh Seif Elmi Our honourable Sheikh, Assalamu Alaikum. Is the hadeeth regarding the Muslims going out in two rows, one headed by Omar (ra) and the other by Hamza (ra), weak? Thank you. And To: Andalusi Maqdisi Andalus Asalamu Alaikum our honourable Sheikh, In your answer regarding demonstrations, may Allah protect you, you gave reference to this hadeeth: Abu Na'eem Ahmad bin Abdullah bin Ahmad Bin Ishaq bin Musa bin Mahran Al-Asbahani (deceased in 430 AH) narrated in his book "Huliyat Al-Awliaa' Wa Tabaqat Al-Asfiyaa'" from Ibn Abbas, he said: I asked Omar (ra): Why were called Al-Farouq? He said: Hamza converted to Islam three days before me, Allah then opened my heart to Islam... I said: Where is the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم?

Question: Assalamu Alaikum our honorable Ameer, We say that establishment of Khilafah and Jihad are different obligations justifying the point that Jihad can't be the methodology to establish the Khilafah. Can you explain that these two are different obligations? May Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept from you and give you the responsibility to guide the Ummah. From Lone Traveller Answer: Wa Alaikum Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, There are basic issues we should understand well because they clarify the answer: 1. The required evidence (Daleel) for deducing a legal rule (Hukm Shar'i) to an issue is the one that pertains to that issue rather than the evidence that pertains to another issue: a. For example, if I wanted to know how to perform ablution, I would search for evidences pertaining to ablution where they are found, whether revealed in Mecca or in Medina. The Shar'i ruling is then extracted duly the followed methodology (Usul)... But I would not

Question: In the Name of Allah the Great and from Him I get the support: Our Honourable Scholar:  As-Salaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu I have two questions; can you kindly honour me with their answers? I ask Allah to guide your steps and of those working for the resumption of the Islamic way of life: It is stated in the book The Draft Constitution, The Necessary Evidences for It Part One page 218 (English version) Article 33: "b. If the Khalifah dies or resigns before appointing the temporary leader, or the position of the Khilafah becomes vacant due to another reason, then the eldest of the assistants becomes the temporary leader." What is the evidence for this article? Why does the eldest of assistants become the temporary leader and not one who is younger than him? From: Omar Almukhtar Answer: Wa Alaikum us Salaam Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu Article 33 is well explained in the book The Draft Constitution, and it is related to two issu

An in-depth and eye opening explanation of the definition of spirituality in Islam and the causes for modern-day misunderstandings.

Recently Ustadh Mazin Abdul-Adhim spoke at the Khilafah conference held in Canada where he  thoroughly defines the work of Hizb ut-Tahrir, and answers three questions that are at the core of this group's efforts:   Does Islam permit such groups to exist in Islam?    What is the method of this group, and why this particular method?    What has this Hizb achieved after all these years? This was followed by a talk (in Part 2) on the deeper details of the work and sacrifice of the Hizb over the past 60 years, and the conference concluded with a detailed and interesting Q&A with the audience on these issues (in Part 3). We endeavour to upload the other parts once they are ready. JazakAllah Khair Watch and share it with others.

Question: On 07/04/2014 the general election in India was launched, which will continue until 12/05/2014 and the results will be declared on 16/05/2014. The elections are contested by two large political blocs; the American-linked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with its alliance, and the pro-British, the Congress Party, which since its return to power through winning the 2004 election, showed a sluggish relationship with the United States because of its association with Britain, and showed fear in confronting China... The question is what is the impact of America on India's policy in confronting China? And what is the relationship of that with the American Asia-Pacific Strategy and its motivation to Australia and Japan to enter into this confrontation? Will this policy be greatly affected by the type of the ruling party in India, whether the BJP or the Congress Party wins? Does India have the ability to deal with China? How is the balance of power between China and India? A
