Islamic Revival

The Mufti of Chechnya, Salakh Mezhiyev hopes that a law banning Wahhabism in Russia could be reached. In an interview with Interfax-Deen, he stated, "There is no future for this notion, we issued a fatwa and adopted decisions and we went to Russia's President Vladimir Putin to regard, on the basis of these decisions, Wahhabism is considered a banned sect by law”. In order to know the truth behind Mezhiyev’s position, we must return to the issuance date of the "fatwa," he referred to. At the end of last August, the so-called World Conference of Muslim Scholars was held in the city of Grozny, Chechnya's capital; in its conclusion the fatwa on "the existence of binding considerations that make true Islam differs from delusion” was adopted. The failure of this conference was inevitable, because it was sponsored by the rulers of Chechnya known for their adherence to the anti-Islam Russian policy, and for their support for its criminal war in Syria. They conf

On Tuesday, 11/10/2016, Haj Abu Malik, aged 55, was abducted from the city of Sakba, four days later, Brother Abu Abdul Rahim Joubar aged 32 years was kidnapped from Ein Tarma area on Saturday night, 15/10/2016. We confirm that this kidnapping came after a campaign of incitement, threat, and distortion that targeted the Dawah carriers in Ghouta of Damascus by figures from Failaq Ar-Rahman (faction) and others associated to it. Failaq Ar-Rahman is in control of the two regions in which these two crimes took place. This attempt of kidnapping was preceded by the assassination attempt of Sheikh Abu Suhaib al-Najjar, by Jaysh Al-Islam on 04/04/2015, also the kidnapping of two members from Hizb ut Tahrir in Douma City on 26/4/2015, it turned out they were held in the prison of Jaysh Al-Islam for seven months. The perpetrators of these senseless crimes who were not deterred by the saying of Allah (swt): ﴿ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴾ “

A cholera outbreak in Yemen is spreading rampantly, and posing an additional danger to the children, according to the UN. Similarly, the World Health Organisation (WHO) is saying, as reported by the Yemeni Ministry of Health, that there have been eight cases of cholera, most of whom are children, registered within a single Yemeni district in the capital of Sanaa. It indicates to the scarcity of water suitable for drinking which has led to the situation being aggravated. Julien Harneis, UNICEF representative in Yemen, said, “This outbreak adds to the misery of millions of children in Yemen..." and added, “Children are at a particularly high risk if the current cholera outbreak is not urgently contained..." ( UNICEF ) The healthcare system in Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East, is collapsing with the continuation of the armed conflict. Meanwhile, the children are living through a real humanitarian by the countries of the Arab coalition. Their targeting has becom

﴿ إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ ﴾ “To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return” [al-Baqarah: 156] Cengiz Karakuş was one of Hizb ut Tahrir's honorable Shabab who worked earnestly and courageously in order to revive Islamic society and in order to re-establish the rule of Allah's Deen on earth. Our brother Cengiz who met with Hizb ut Tahrir 25 years ago, never stopped being loyal to Hizb ut Tahrir ever since. Our brother Cengiz possessed a courage that could fearlessly declare the truth before a tyrant. He kept his promise to his Lord and demonstrated his loyalty to Islam until his last breath. He was arrested 7 times and was jailed for years because he upheld the Dawah of Islam. He never bowed before the courts when he was tried for his membership to Hizb ut Tahrir and always said the Haq (truth). Our brother Cengiz would talk with everyone in the Erzurum province where he lived, in order to liberate them of the capitalist system's filth and would call

Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem Answer to Question: Ruling on the Outcome of Financial Transactions of Non-Muslims before Converting to Islam To Michael Christensen (Translated) ==================== Question: Barakallahu feek, my question is related to Economics, I seek clarification about dealing with stocks: Since I was young (under 10 years of age - almost 20 years ago) my mother deposited some stocks in a bank under my name. These stocks increased in value, and in 2015 my mother sold the stocks on my behalf and gave me the money. I haven’t used the money because I do not know if they are permitted (from Shariah) for me. I converted to Islam 6 years ago and do not know much about the Economic system of Islam, but I now know stocks are forbidden. What is the ruling on this situation of mine? Is it possible for you to give a short but still detailed Islamic conclusion to help me understand if I can keep the money or get rid of it? I hope you understand my question if not, you c

The Caliphate is the polity (political entity) which implements the law and spirit of Islam on Earth. Its high obligation, importance and the priority it has in Islam is something agreed upon by the ‘ulema of Islam. We’ve previously covered the Hanafi ‘ ulema’s opinion on the Caliphate ; in this article we present the statements of some of the scholars of the Hanbali madhhab regarding the Khilafah. The founding Imam of the Hanbali school, Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal (rh) made it clear what the absence of the Khilafah means when he said: The fitna (mischief and tribulations) occurs when there is no Imam established over the affairs of the people. [ Al Ahkam al Sultaniyyah and al-Mu’tamad of Abu Ya’la al Hanbali]. Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said: The aim and objective of politics ( siyasah ) is to seek nearness to Allah. A Muslim adopts politics only to establish the Din which guarantees such a nearness by providing a suitable psychological and spiritual climate in which
