The Kuffars are coming! The Kuffars  are coming!

60,000/150=400 books a year written against Islam.

Here is something you might have not known…Contextualization is where Christians take verses from the Bible and replace them with similar verses from the Qura’an and write them in Arabic and spread them out in the Muslim Ummah. When a Muslim sees this, they say “God’s words” but in actuality they have fallen into the traps of the Christians. SubhanAllah, Allah(SWT) has indeed promised us that He(SWT) will protect the Qura’an from being distorted, but we have to take note that, will Muslims be around to make Allah’s Words on top and everyone else’s on the bottom? Islam will always be around, but will Muslims be around? What can we do here today is be aware! And warn other Muslims, and inshaAllah we will not fall into the trap of these Christians and stand firm on this Deen till Judgment Day.

Furthermore, Kuffars use the well known verses and Dua’s by the Muslims. As you will see Dr. Zakir Naik explain; for example, before they start a trap they will put “Bismillah Arahman Araheem”, or they will write “Allah Mahabah” but it looks like “Allah, Mohammad”(in Arabic)

“This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion.”- Qur’an 5:3

Islam is a completed religion by God, I guess it’s only natural that Non-Muslims try to steal from Islam, instead of joining it, but they will be held responsible! A person can see them everyday the supposedly religious ones look for doubts to fuel there day.{Muslim1}

Contextualization and Bible translation

Contextualization is also used in the study of Bible translations in relation to their relevant cultural settings. It was adopted formally by a gathering of scholars in the Theological Education Fund (TEF) [1] in its mandate to communicate the Gospel and Christian teachings in cultures which had not previously experienced them. Prior to the use of the word contextualization many cross-cultural linguists, anthropologists and missionaries had been involved in such communication approaches such as in accommodating the message or meanings to another cultural setting.

The word continues to be used theologically, mainly in the sense of contextualizing the biblical message as perceived in the mandate originated by Jesus in the gospel accounts. However, since the early 1970s, the word’s meaning has widened. It is now used by secular, religious and political groups to render their message into different settings by adjusting or accommodating words, phrases or meanings into understandable contexts in respondent cultures.

Contextualization in practice

An individual may espouse a particular worldview within a context of his or her knowledge and understanding, background, and culture: for instance, a Muslim may hold a monotheistic view of God within the context of his religion. Contextualization addresses the question of whether that monotheistic God is the same as the monotheistic God within another religion, e.g. Judaism.

In order to enable ideas to be compared across the boundaries of different faiths, a whole series of religious terms will be needed to be contextualized as part of the flow of knowledge from one to the other.

Dr./Shayk Ali Al-Tamimi’s Statement in Court+

Posted by muslim1 on November 28, 2007

Dr. Al-Timimi’s Statement in Court
‘Ali al-Timimi

All praise is due to God and may God’s blessings and peace be upon all his prophets – particularly Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad.

Your honor, it is customary at the time of sentencing that those found guilty give a statement during which they admit their guilt and thereupon entreat the court to show them leniency.

I stand before this court having been found guilty of ten felonies. However, I will not admit guilt nor seek the Court’s mercy. I do this not out of any disrespect to the Court. I do this simply because I am innocent.

My claim of innocence is not because of any inherent misunderstanding on my part as to the nature of the crimes for which I was convicted nor is it because my Muslim belief recognizes sharia rather than secular law. It is merely because I am innocent.

Few in the history of this country have been charged with what I was charged. None I believe have ever been so removed from the charges.My experience is therefore unique and is thus worthy of some comment and reflection.

During its closing argument the Government read to the jury the preamble to the Constitution. I frankly found it to be a poor recitation. I will not be in any need of paper to recite those words for I faithfully committed them to memory as a schoolboy long before I was taught or learnt any passage of the Koran.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

I declare the government’s recitation poor as it stripped those words of their meaning. Allow me to explain why. The first aim of the Constitution after the immediate raison d’etre – of forming a more perfect Union – is to establish justice. The establishment of justice was mentioned before the aim of providing for the common defence. Common defence is what we today call security. The reason as to why justice preceded security should be obvious to all: true security can never been attained without true justice.

I, as many of my community since 9/11, have been denied justice.

I am not a lawyer so I am unable to cite case law to demonstrate this. I will instead have to appeal to the very philosophy upon which the law is based. Aristotle teaches us that justice means to equate similar things and distinguish between dissimilar things.

Let us recall the crimes to which I was charged: advocating treason, soliciting war against the United States, providing aid and comfort to the enemy, conspiring to levy war against Israel, Russia, India, and Indonesia, and of course at every turn the informal charge of terrorism.

Charges I must say “abounding in crudities and absurdities.”[1]

For to accept these charges we must believe that a solitary man who would spend his days working full time at one of Fortune magazine’s one hundred best companies[2] and then spend his evenings and weekends engaged in cancer research for a doctorate in computational biology; an individual who never owned or used a gun, never travelled to a military camp, never set foot in a country in which a war was taking place, never raised money for any violent organization would be – could be – the author of so much harm.

“Crudities and absurdities” your honor …

Someone who did not observe the proceedings might justifiably ask: How then was he convicted? The answer, of course, was simply out of fear.

The eminent jurist Stephen L. Carter cautions:

When the secular sovereign decides to try a citizen on a charge that amounts to serving a separate sovereign, the jury should be pressed toward the sobriety of democratic respect rather than the intoxicating fury of the witch-hunt.[3]

If this is his admonition for a charge that “amounts” to serving a separate sovereign, how much more so should it be when the charge is the actual raising of arms against the sovereign!

It is said that historically two trials have captured the imagination of Western civilization. The trial of Jesus Christ[4] and that of Socrates.

Rome was a brutal empire. Athens was a democracy.[5] Plato relates to us that during his trial Socrates said the following:

“They – in reference to the prosecutors – are headed by Meletus, that good man and true lover of his country, as he calls himself. Against these, too, I must try to make a defense:, Let their affidavit be read: it contains something of this kind: It says that Socrates is a doer of evil, who corrupts the youth; and who does not believe in the gods of the state, but has other new divinities of his own. Such is the charge; and now let us examine the particular counts. He says that I am a doer of evil, and corrupt the youth; but I say, O men of Athens, that Meletus is a doer of evil, in that he pretends to be in earnest when he is only in jest, and is so eager to bring men to trial from a pretended zeal and interest about matters in which he really never had the smallest interest.”[6]

In the coming months this courthouse will witness the trial of another individual accused of betraying his country.[7] Let us wait and see if the Government’s zealotry to prosecute that case will be as was with mine.

In the end, I too like Socrates am accused and found guilty of nothing more than corrupting the youth and practicing a different religion that of the majority. Socrates was mercifully given a cup of hemlock, I was handed a life sentence.

Imprisonment of any term, as this Court well knows, is a crisis for the incarcerated and his or her loved ones. I am no exception to that.

But the real crisis brought on my imprisonment, I sincerely believe is America’s. For if my conviction is to stand, it would mean that two hundred and thirty years of America’s tradition of protecting the individual from the tyrannies and whims of the sovereign will have come to an end. And that which is exploited today to persecute a single member of a minority will most assuredly come back to haunt the majority tomorrow.

Thank you.

A translation by S.Al Yemeni,
I ask Allah to forgive me if I made a mistake, and please let me know if you speak Arabic if I made a mistake, GazakumAllah Khair.

This hadith was narrated by al-Nisaie and others, that the Prophet, Peace Be Upon him, saw in the hands of Umar Ibn AlKhattab(RA) pages from the Torah, so the Prophet(PBUH) said: “If Moses was still alive, it would only befit his capacity to follow me”. Then Umar (RA) said: I reconfirm, proudly my acceptance of Allah as my One and Only Rabb{ Provider, Sustainer, Protector, etc.}, and Islam as my religion and Muhammad (PBUH) as my Prophet.

The Four Caliphates(May God(Allah) be pleased with them)

Posted by muslim1 on November 23, 2007

How many years did the Caliphate last after Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him)?

A— Narrated Abu Dawud and others on the authority of Sa’id Ibn Jamhan
after Safinah as saying: Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) says:
“The Caliphate after Prophethood will last for thirty years, then Allah
grants kingship to whom He wills.” (At-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ahmed and
Al-Hakim)
This implies the period lasted by Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthman and `Ali, may
Allah be pleased with them all. Abu Bakr stayed for two years and three
months, ‘Umar for ten years and six months, ‘Uthman for twelve years,
`Ali for four years and nine months, and in completion of the thirty years
comes the Bai’ah (Pledge of allegiance) given for Al-Hasan Ibn ‘Ali, that is
six months.
The first Muslim king was Mu’awiyah (May Allah be pleased with him) who
was the best among them all. Then, followed a severe and unjust
kingship, up till the time when `Umar Ibn ‘Abdel’Aziz came. Indeed, the
Sunni Muslim scholars regarded him as the fifth Caliph as he followed
their (the previous four ones) very steps.
=====================================
What is the general proof of their (the four Caliphs’) right
to the Caliphate?

A— The proofs are numerous: counting its period with thirty years which
is the period of their leadership, preferring them to all other companions
of the Prophet (Peace be upon him), and what has been narrated by
Samura Ibn Jundub saying: that a man said: “O Allah’s Messenger! I saw
as if a bucket descended from the sky. Then came Abu Bakr and took it
and he drank very few thereof Then, came ‘Umar who took it and drank
till he got satisfied. Then, came `Uthman who took it and drank till he got
satisfied. Then, came `Ali who took it and it was drawn from him and
something thereof was spelt over him.” (Abu Dawud and Ahmed)
In addition, the Ummah has agreed on their Caliphate and none contests
against this but who went astray and adopted Innovations.
======================================
What is the detailed proof that the first three Caliphs have
a right to the Caliphate?

A— Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated the Prophet
(Peace be upon him) as saying: “‘Who did see a vision from amongst
you?’ A man said: ‘I have seen as if a balance descended from the sky.
You (the Prophet) weighed with Abu Bakr and you overweighed Abu Bakr,
and Abu Bakr and `Umar got weighed, and Abu Bakr overweighed ‘Umar,
and’ Umar and’ Uthman got weighed, and ‘Umar overweighed `Uthman,
then the balance was raised up (to the sky again). ‘” (Abu Dawud and Al-
Hakim)
Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) says: “Tonight, a pious man was
made to see a vision that Abu Bakr was entrusted by Allah’s Messenger
(Peace be upon him), ‘Umar was entrusted by Abu Bakr, and ‘Uthman
was entrusted by ‘Umar.” (Abu Dawud, Al-Hakim and Ahmed)
========================================
What is the proof of the Caliphate of Abu Bakr and `Umar?

A— Narrated Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him): I heard
Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) saying, “While I was sleeping, I
saw myself standing at a well, on it there was a bucket. I drew water
from the well as much as Allah wished. Then Ibn Abu Quhafa (i.e. Abu
Bakr) took the bucket from me and brought out one or two buckets (of
water) and there was weakness in his drawing the water. May Allah
forgive his weakness for him. Then the bucket turned into a very big one
and Ibn Al-Khattab took it over and I had never seen such a mighty
person amongst the people as him in performing such hard work, till the
people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt
down there.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
========================================
What is the proof that Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with
him) has the right to the Caliphate and being a successor to
Allah’s Messenger?

A— Narrated Jubair Ibn Mut’im (May Allah be pleased with him): A
woman came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him), he ordered her to
come back to him later. She said: “What if I came and did not find you?”
as if she wanted to say, “If I found you dead?” The Prophet said: “If you
should not find me, go to Abu Bakr.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

‘A’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her) narrated: Allah’s Messenger
(Peace be upon him) said to me: “Call unto me your father and brother, I
want to get something written, for I fear someone to wish for it (the
Caliphate), or someone else says: I deserve it (more than anyone else),
but Allah and the Believers wish no one but Abu Bakr.” (Sahih Bukhari)

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger
of Allah (Peace be upon him) became ill and his illness became serious he
ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer… “. “So, Abu Bakr led the
prayer (during this period of illness) in the life of the Messenger of Allah
(Peace be upon him).”(Bukhari and Muslim)
Besides, all companions of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) from among
the Muhajirun and the Ansar paid homage to Abu Bakr and none
contested thereto.
============================================
What is the proof that `Umar (May Allah be pleased with
him) has the right to the Caliphate and being a successor to Abu
Bakr?

A— Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) says: “I do not know when
will I be dead, so follow the two who come after me.” He pointed to Abu
Bakr and ‘Umar (May Allah be pleased with them). (AtTirmidhi, Ibn
Majah, Ahmed and AI-Hakim)
Narrated Hudhaifah (May Allah be pleased with him): “… ‘Umar said: ‘I
did not mean that but I asked about that affliction which will spread like
the waves of the sea.’ I (Hudhaifah) said: ‘O leader of the faithful
believers! You need not be afraid of it as there is a closed door between
you and it.’ ‘Umar asked, ‘Will the door be broken or opened?’I replied, ‘It will be broken.’ ‘Umar said: ‘Then it will never be closed
again.’ (Sahih Bukhari)

The whole Ummah unanimously agreed on his right to be the successor of
Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with them).
=============================================
What is the proof that `Uthman (May Allah be pleased with
him) has the right to the Caliphate and being a successor to Abu
Bakr and `Umar?

A— Narrated `A’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her) Allah’s Messenger
(Peace be upon him) saying: “O ‘Uthman! /fone day Allah gave you this
issue (the Caliphate) and the hypocrites wanted you to take off the shirt
(Caliphate) Allah bestowed on you, do not take it off” He said it thrice.
(Ibn Majah, At- Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibban and AI-Hakim)
The People of Shura (Consultation) agreed on him, then all the Prophet’s
companions. The first to pay him homage was `Ali Ibn Abu Talib after
‘Abdur-Rahman Ibn ‘Auf, then the rest of the people.
===============================================
What is the proof that ‘Ali (May Allah be pleased with him)
has the right to the Caliphate and being a successor to Abu Bakr,
`Umar and `Uthman?

A— The Prophet (Peace be upon him) passed by ‘Ammar and removed
the dust off his head and said: “May Allah be Merciful to ‘Ammar. He will
be killed by a rebellious aggressive group. ‘Ammar will invite them to
(obey) Allah and they will invite him to the (Hell) fire.” (Bukhari and
Muslim) Thus, ‘Ammar was on the side of ‘ Ali (May Allah be pleased with
him) and he was killed by the people of Sham (Syria) while he was
inviting them to obey Allah, the Prophetic Sunnah, Jama’ah (Community),
and the true Imam: `Ali (May Allah be pleased with him). This Hadith is
Authentic. Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah’s
Messenger (Peace be upon him) says: “A group would secede itself (from
the Ummah) when there would be dissension among the Muslims. Out of
the two groups who would be nearer the truth would kill them.” (Sahih
Muslim) The Khawarij seceded itself from the Ummah and they were
killed by ‘Ali on the Day of Nahrawan. Thus, he is the nearer to the truth
as agreed upon by the People of Sunni Islam.

An amazing poem by Imam Ash-Shaafi’ee “repentance”

Posted by muslim1 on November 23, 2007

Imam Ash-Shaafi`ee From “Three Forgotten Prayers” by `Adnaan Aali `Uroor 1997
Published By Call to Islam Da`wah Center, London E17 UK

Al-Muzni who is Aboo lbraaheem Isma`eel ibn Yahya said: “I entered upon ash-Shaafi’ee during his illness which resulted in his death, so I said to him: ‘What is your condition?’ He replied: “I am journeying from this world, and departing from my brothers, drinking from the cup of death, and upon Allaah – Exalted is His remembrance – arriving. And no! By Allaah, I do not know if my soul is traveling towards Paradise or the Fire!” Then he started to weep, and he said:

‘In You, the Creator, I raise my longing, And even if I am, O possessor of kindness and generosity, an evildoer, a criminal,

When my heart became constricted and my paths became narrow,

I took my hope in Your pardon and forgiveness as an opening and an escape,

My sins seemed very great to me but when I compared them to Your forgiveness,

I found Your forgiveness to be greater,

You are and still remain the only One who can forgive sins,

You grant and forgive out of Your benevolence and generosity,

Perhaps the One who is the source of all goodness will forgive and overlook my mistakes,

And will hide the sins and burden that I accumulated,

My sins seemed very great to me, so I turned (to You) in humility,

Were it not for my contentment in you, I wouldn’t, O my Lord, have seen any comfort at all,

So if You forgive me, You would have forgiven a sinner, A rebellious, oppressive tyrant still sinning,

So my crime is very great, past and present, But Your forgiveness that embraces Your servant is greater and higher,

So whomsoever holds fast to Allaah is truly saved from mankind, And whosever’s hopes are in Him, will be far removed from any regrets.’

In translating these lines of poetry I have exercised a certain degree of freedom in order to preserve the emotive content as well as making it readable in the English language. [Translator Note]
