Islamic Revival

As part of implementing the  ‪#‎ NationalActionPlan‬ , which is an attempt to suppress the ‪#‎ Jihad‬  against the  ‪#‎ American‬  occupation of  ‪#‎ Afghanistan‬ , as wel l as preventing the return of the  ‪#‎ Khilafah‬  to  ‪#‎ Pakistan‬ , on 11 February 2015, the regime issued an arrest charge sheet for the men of the honorable Jegranvi household, as well as their wives. Then on Friday 13 February, before the Salah of Jummah, the thugs of the regime earned the curses of the oppressed, whose Dua Allah never refuses, by seizing a woman relative of the Jegranvis from the sanctity of her home, even as the menfolk and their wives were applying for bail before arrest. This mother is now in the dungeons of the tyrants, along with her mentally and physically handicapped young son. Hizb ut Tahrir notes that this extreme step took place immediately after the announcement of the Interior Minister's visit to America, to earn the praise and gratitude of the foremost crusader nati

As the dust settles after the killings in Paris there has been a plethora of comment about the limits of ‘free speech’. Some argue it is absolute. Others recognise there are and always have been limits – laws about racism, anti-Semitism and libel included. Others still observe how those limits are increasingly selectively applied – even within the editorial decisions of ‘Charlie Hebdo’. Muslims understand the European principle of free speech better than we are given credit for. We understand that Europe settled its uncomfortable relationship with the Catholic Church with greater free of inquiry, criticism and accounting of powerful institutions. We also understand that it has morphed into an industry where the freedom to mock, insult and expose celebrity sells newspapers and magazines. But we also understand that within the imposed legal restrictions there are all kinds of reasons why people limit what they say, write and draw. So, when we see a systematic campaign focussed in

Question:  The prophet (saw) said in a hadith reported by Bukhari & Muslim -  " Whosoever obeys me, obeys Allah; and he who disobeys me, disobeys Allah; and whosoever obeys the Amir (leader), in fact, obeys me; and he who disobeys the Amir, in fact, disobeys me." Which Ameer does this refer to and does this obedience apply to the Ameer of Travel or the Ameer of the house or does it apply to the Khalifah alone. If someone disobeys an Ameer of Safar does he by this act disobey Allah and his prophet (saw)?  Answer:   Firstly, There are two types of Imarah’s. The Imarah Kubra (the Greater Imarah ) which is the Khalifah and the Imarah Sugraa or the Imarah Khassah (The lesser Imarah or the private Ameer) which is the Ameers other than the Khalifah i.e the Ameer Khaas such as the Ameer of travel or the Ameer of an army and so on. The obedience to both the Imarah Kubra and the Imarah khassah is not unconditional rather it has shari limits. The first limitation

By Adnan Khan In a video released by the pro-ISIS Aamaq News Agency on Fri­day 30 Jan­u­ary 2015, ISIS acknowl­edged that its fight­ers have been defeated in the Syr­ian north­ern town of Kobani.[1] The bat­tle for Kobani which began in late 2014, received much global media atten­tion as over 200,000 Kurds from the town crossed the bor­der into Turkey lead­ing to the call for all Kurds to come to the res­cue. Com­par­isons were made with the Nazi defeat in Stal­in­grad , which was the begin­ning of the end of the Third Reich. Since the ISIS dec­la­ra­tion of the Caliphate back in June 2014, ISIS expanded its con­trol and entered into many bat­tles with rebel groups, al-Assad’s’ forces and the US air force. Analysing the loss of Kobani reveals ISIS is now on the defen­sive, but not defeated. It was in Sep­tem­ber 2014 that ISIS fight­ers cap­tured some 300 Kur­dish vil­lages near Kobani and thrust into the town itself. Tens of thou­sands of refugees spilled across th

If it remains firm in the face of these factors then it would have passed through the first line of defence of the thoughts of disbelief and attained the following achievements or results:  1) The crystallization of its thought: The clashing that takes place with other thoughts, discussing them and making clear their corruption inevitably leads to the embodiment of this thought and its crystallization. This means its movement from a fluid state to a state where it is solidified and embodied i.e. from empty thoughts of imagination to a vision of the reality and its application upon it. This is because when

This is from the intellectual angle as laid out on paper i.e. upon the basis that it is meant to be upon. As for the existence of the first cell then this is only represented in a man who is from the same kind and type as this thought in respect to his purity. This means that he believes in it alone and that his thought has not blended with a collection of thoughts that have been mixed with impurities. Therefore, just as this Aqeedah has a single source alone which is the Wahy (divinely inspired revelation) then similarly this person must also have a single basis for his thought. This basis is the Aqeedah and what it came with in terms of texts and nothing other than this. His mind is there only to comprehend this Aqeedah and to unders

There is a expansive subject area in the Arabic language which is the ‘Baab’ (subject) of ‘Al-Ishtiqaaq’ (derivation) through which it is possible to derive and extract wordings and expressions enabling us to express clearly and eloquently all that which we desire in a manner that allows us to realise its purpose. So the process of deriving an ‘Ism’ (noun) from a ‘F’il’ (verb) or deriving a ‘Fi’l’ from an ‘Ism’ is sufficient to enrich the language with new words and modern forms in which the meanings intended to reach the people are formed. This is in addition to another area related to the Arabic language called ‘Ta’reeb’ (arabization). The process of ‘Ta’reeb’ is easy in the language and it occurs by doing no more than making the foreig
