Could Marwan Barghouthi be the Ace up Trump's Sleeve?
Yvonne Ridley THE view on Donald Trump's first 100 days from this side of the Atlantic has been a bit like watching a car crash in slow motion. We've had the bombing of Syria and the beating of ever louder war drums towards North Korea, an on-off love in with Russia and China and a few u-turns over Muslim immigration and let's not forget the big, beautiful wall which will probably not be built.
Graffiti Boys of Syria
By Yvonne Ridley Around four years ago I was told exactly how the Syrian Revolution began and who started it. After investigating the story I realised it challenges supporters of the Assad regime and silences those conspiracy theorists who blame everyone from the CIA to Mossad, the Saudis and Russian intelligence.
Syria: Planned Genocide and Eviction of People to Expand Israel
Jawed Anwar From the last few years till now, 470,000 people were killed, including 55,000 children in Syria. 13.5 million fled and were displaced all over the world. Among them 6 million are internally displaced. 4.6 million are refugees outside Syria but mostly in neighboring Muslim countries.
Time to Tear Down the Barriers of Fear
By Yvonne Ridley SO we might never know why someone hired a car and committed the murderous attack on a group of innocent people in London before turning his attentions on a policeman stabbing him to death. And yet the media has delivered a huge goal to Daesh by its round-the-clock coverage examining in minute detail every aspect of the 90 second attack. The first three days, in the absence of any real facts other than the subsequent identities of those killed and how they died, was all speculative.
Accomplishment of the Task
Jawed Anwar Long weekends, holidays, and 2016 have gone. We did everything on these days except the one thing that Allah commanded us to do and for which Allah sent His Messengers (and Books) on earth --warning and glad tidings.
Copy-wrongs
By Muhammad Tariq Ghazi Here we have a warning: “Whoever intentionally attributes to me something that I did not say or do has made his abode in the Hellfire.†Here we have the world’s first definite law on copyright and against plagiarism.
Islam is the Deen of America
Jawed Anwar We Muslims are not just a “community†or just a “nationâ€; we are a missionary community and we are a missionary nation. We are a faith-based community. We have a mission --the same mission as Prophets and Messengers of Allah brought from Allah directly in the past.
President Elect Donald Trump: Positive Aspects from a Muslim Perspective
By Jawed Anwar Donald Trump has been now elected, and he will take oath on Friday, January 20, 2017 as President of USA. There are many positive aspects and opportunities for Muslims to play their role. And we have to play a major role to present Islam to him and to the nation as a way of life.
US President Election Result and Muslim Leadership
Jawed Anwar The US voters elected 45th President of America; Donald Trump, a better choice over Hillary Clinton. It was a long campaign and perhaps the nastiest and dirtiest campaign of the US Presidential election history.
Muhammad Ali: America's Proud Muslim Son
By Dr ABIDULLAH GHAZI THE death of Muhammad Ali on June 3, 2016 was neither sudden nor unexpected, given his long struggle with Parkinson’s. Yet its news was still received by America and the world with great sadness and grief. In fact Muhammad Ali’s story is not only that of a Muslim African-American hero, but the story of America itself.
The Power of the Oppressed and Forgiveness
Jawed Anwar WHEN a tyrant oppresses someone, his fate goes to the court of the oppressed person. When the oppressed person, raises his hand and starts praying and complaining to Allah swt, his cries rupture the sky. Allah swt who is the most Merciful and the Most Forgiving takes revenge on behalf of the oppressed person from His own qualities as the Avenger, and the creator of Harmful. Now, the tyrant has to wait for his final fate and see how much time he has.
Masjid and Interest: Fighting with Allah for the House of Allah
“The hour will come until people vie (strive in competition or rivalry) with one another regarding Masjids†[Hadith: Abu Dawud (449), An-Nasai (2/32), Ibn Majah (739), Ibn Hibban (308-Al-Mawarid), and Al-Baghawai in Sharh us Sunnah (464)-Smaller Signs of the Day (closer to Qiyamah, the Doomsday)]. Competition and rivalry in Masjids are so rampant, so fierce and widespread that is obvious everywhere. But will they go to the limit that they will start acquiring money from the banks and Credit Unions with
Muslims' Protection
THE word “Protection†may lead oneself to Ayat ul Krsi, or any supplication (recitation) or tawiz protection (written text) from the Quran or Sunnah. Yes! There are very powerful words in the Quran and Hadith that help in protecting oneself from evils and enemies. It is Allah’s order to ask him to protect us and He promises to fulfill it. No one can deny its importance. It is a Muslim’s daily routine and habit by means of faith.
