Britain to fight Islam on the Internet

It was reported that the British government's Office of Security and Counter-Terrorism (OSCT), a 200-strong Home Office unit created 18 months ago, has said in meetings it wants to 'flood the internet' with 'positive' interpretations of Islam and plans to train government-approved groups in search engine optimization techniques, which it is hoped will boost their profile online and battle radicalization. A Home Office spokesman confirmed search engine optimization training is part of the government's anti-radicalization strategy. 'In order to support mainstream voices, we work with local partners to help develop their communication, representational and leadership skills. This support could include media training, which can help make their voices heard more widely, and support the development of skills which allow communities to be more effective in debate.'

Obama continues to wage war against Islam

In his first visit to a predominantly Muslim state, Barack Obama stood in the Turkish parliament to declare that “United States is not and will not be at war with Islam.” And just days after being sworn in as US president, Obama gave his first TV interview to an Arabic news channel in which he reassured the Arab and Muslim audience that he would have a totally different strategy regarding his country’s relationship with the Muslims. He plainly stated that his foreign policy approach would be based on diplomacy and friendship rather than confrontation and militarism. But all of this is a plain lie. On Monday NATO air strikes killed six civilians and wounded 14 in Afghans and predator strikes against Pakistan continue unabated. US drone strikes have reportedly killed 687 Pakistani civilians since 2006. During this time, US Predator drones carried out sixty strikes inside Pakistan, but hit just ten of their actual targets. Despite these hard facts the leaders of the Muslim world continue to applaud Obama and extend him all forms of cooperation to spill Muslim blood. The messenger (saw) of Allah said, “The imam is a shield behind which the fight and are protected.”

Wilders plans to insult Islam again!

Dutch politician Geert Wilders is planning a sequel to his controversial anti-Islam film Fitna, to be released in 2010. In an interview with Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf published on Thursday, Wilders revealed some of his upcoming cinematic plans."It will not be a copy of Fitna. This is the second phase,' he told the newspaper. "I now want to show the consequences of mass immigration from Muslim countries." Wilders claims to have been contacted by professional filmmakers based "in New York and Hollywood," who offered their services to shoot the sequel. In March 2008, the internet release of Wilders's approximately 15-minute film Fitna sparked protests in Muslim countries and widespread condemnation worldwide. The short film blends violent, graphic images of terrorist attacks with quotations from the Qur'an. Wilders told De Telegraaf the sequel will tackle issues such as free speech and Shariah law.

Allah (swt) says

وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ
“They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse.“ [TMQ aal Imraan: 118]

Britain urges Arabs to unite against Iran

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband called Wednesday for a “united front” between Persian Gulf Arab countries and global powers to deal with Iran. “I know that many countries in the region are concerned not just about the dangers of Iran’s nuclear program but also (about) Iranian activities in the region that cause instability in many countries of the Middle East,” Miliband told reporters in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Prince Saud last month urged Arabs to agree on how to tackle the “Iranian challenge” on the nuclear issue, Persian Gulf security and what he termed as “penetration by some outside parties of Arab affairs in Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon.” Millibans’s stance appears to be contradictory to the Obams’s overtures towards normalising America’s relationship with Iran.

Criminals to partake in Indian elections

The voting for 543 seats in the Indian elections will take place in five phases from Thursday (today) to 13 May. The result will be announced on Saturday 16 May. The total 714 millions voters would cast their vote during in the general elections of India. In the first of phase of the elections it will be held in 124 constituencies of 17 states including Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Kerala, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshwadeep. It is pertinent to point out that 128 candidates of 18 political parties including Congress and BJP, have had criminal cases registered against them, but are still taking part in the elections. 84 out of 128 candidates contesting have been charged with murder, abduction, non-consensual sexual harassment, and 28 face robbery and abduction charges. According to Wall Street Journal candidates are trying to bribe the voters with different flavours of wine and providing young and beautiful girls to the businessmen to win their support in the elections. Indeed it is more apt to describe Indian elections as the largest debauchery show on earth.

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider His law regard

Q&A: Age of separating children in the beds?

Question: Please explain the hukm regarding separation of children in their beds. At what age is separation an obligation upon the parents? Also can a parent sleep in the same bed as their child? Answer: 1- With regards to separating children in their beds, it is clear that the separation which is obligatory is when they reach the age of 7 and not since their birth. This is due to the hadith reported by Daarqutni and al-Hakim from the Messenger (saw) who said: When your children reach the age of 7 then separate their beds and when they reach 10 beat them if they do not pray their salah.’ This is also due to what has been narrated by al-Bazzar on the authority of Abi Rafi’ with the following wording: ‘We found in a sheet near the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he died on which the following was written: Separate the beds of the slave boys and girls and brothers and sisters of 7 years of age.’ The two hadiths are texts on the separation of children when they reach the age of 7. As for the

Please refer to the original Arabic for exact meanings. Question: What is the Shari’ ruling in singing or listening to songs?  What is the hukm of using musical instruments and is its trade allowed? I request you to answer in detail with the evidences? Answer: The Imams ( Mujtahids ) and the jurists have differed on the issue of singing and they have varying opinions such as haraam (prohibited), Makruh (disliked) and Mubah (permissible), the ones who have prohibited it are from the ones who hold the opinion of prohibition of singing as a trade or profession, and a similar opinion has been transmitted from Imam Shafi’i, and from the ones who disliked it is Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who disliked the issue and categorised its performance under disliked acts, a similar opinion has been tran
