India Murders Kashmir’s Muslims while Pakistan’s Regime Outsources its Army for America’s Use Rather than Protecting Muslims!

On Friday 16th September, the dead body of 11 year old Nasir Shafi was found on the outskirts of Kashmir’s capital Srinigar, riddled with metal pellets, after Indian security forces used pellet guns to break up protests of Muslims demonstrating against decades of subjugation and brutal violence under Hindu occupation. According to his father, the body of Nasir also showed signs of torture, including a broken arm and hair that had been pulled out. Over the last 2 months, the brutality of Indian forces against the Muslims of Kashmir has claimed the lives of over 80 people. This is since mass protests erupted following the extrajudicial killing by Indian soldiers of Burhan Wani, a 22 year old rebel commander, who called for the Muslims of Kashmir to resist the criminal occupation. Many of those demonstrating and many of those murdered and maimed by Indian forces have been youth. Since July 9th, over 8500 Muslims have been injured, with around 500, including children as young as 4, sustaining serious eye injuries including being blinded by metal pellets fired by Indian police and soldiers. 14 year old Insha Malik was blinded in both her eyes by pellets; 13 year old Mir Arafat was injured in his heart and intestines by pellets; and 4 year old Zuhra Majeed was hit by pellets in her abdomen and legs when Indian police targeted her family while they were outside their home. Infact, the Central Reserve Police Force, an Indian paramilitary unit admitted to the Jammu and Kashmir High Court that it had used 1.3 million pellets in just 32 days of unrest. According to a consultant ophthalmologist at Srinigar’s Shri Maharaja Hari Sing Hospital, 14% of pellet gun victims in Kashmir are below 15 years of age. Alongside this brutal violence, the Indian government has imposed a media blackout in Kashmir, closing down local media, and cutting off mobile and internet communications in order to prevent reports of its horrific crimes reaching the outside world.
Life is intolerable for the Muslims of Kashmir who have lived in a state of terror for decades under repressive Indian occupation. The murderous Indian regime has stationed over 600,000 troops on this Muslim-majority land – equivalent to 1 soldier for every 20 or so citizens – and its forces have a notorious history of engaging in abductions, torture, rape, and extra-judicial killings with impunity. More than 68,000 people, mostly civilians have been killed since 1989 due to violent Indian military crackdowns. Despite all this, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who presides over the 6th largest army in the world which undoubtedly could crush this occupation, stood shamelessly at this week’s UN General Assembly, and resorted to asking the redundant and hopeless UN to stop the bloodshed in Kashmir. Rather than mobilizing the Pakistani army to liberate the Muslims in Kashmir, the Raheel-Nawaz regime, chooses to utilize the army in the service of their American master to fight their colonial war against the Mujahideen and also abdicate responsibility for protecting Kashmir’s Muslims to an international community that itself has the blood of hundreds of thousands of Muslims on its hands. Furthermore, this is the same international community that has for decades turned a blind eye to the flagrant violation of their so-called human rights by the Hindu government against Kashmir’s Muslims, including mass-murder, and erected a wall of silence to the media blackout imposed by India in Kashmir, despite claiming that freedom of expression is one of their fundamental principles. This international community has served as nothing but an instrument that prolongs the suffering of this Ummah through offering false hopes of protection and change. It stands as a graveyard of broken promises and pledges to the Muslims.
We call those with Imaan in the Pakistani army, who love Allah and wish to secure honour in this world and a high station in Jannah, to sever their allegiance to these shameless, cowardly regimes and to liberate Kashmir from the clutches of its evil occupiers and to give their Nusrah to Hizb ut Tahrir under the leadership of eminent scholar Ata Bin Khalil Abu al-Rashtah for the establishment of the righteous Khilafah (Caliphate) upon the methodology of the Prophethood, to serve for Islam and the Muslims under its Rayah, and not the agendas of Western governments. The Prophet (saw) said, «الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُوْ الْمُسْلِمِ، لا يَظْلِمُهُ، وَلا يَخْذُلُهُ» “A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he does not oppress him, nor does he abandon him.”

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
