REFUTING THE APOSTATE (MURTAD) AYOOB KARIM
BY MOULANA ZAHEER MANGERAH SAHEB
 
Aslam al-Qibti reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
“Let me not find one of you reclining on his couch, when a command or prohibition of mine comes to him and he says: I do not know, we only follow what we find in the Book of Allah.”
Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2663
 
Ayoob Karim and his Quranist comparative religion body are a materializaton of the prediction above,the reality of the Quranist Liberal apostates (murtads) are that they are indoctrinated with a Liberal baseline for Morality,they therefore attempt to scuttle. away anything that Liberal morality would content with.
The only way to achieve such is to try and refute Ahadith content as the general nature of the Quran would allow them to bow down to their Liberal masters by offering their own Liberalised interpretation thereby making them "Muslim " by name but Liberal in practice.
 
What ignoramuses of this nature fail to understand is that when Allah took a promise to protect the Quran it cannot be that he solely promised to protect the word of the Quran and that its entire meaning and practice had been lost for 14 centuries by 99% of the Ummah until Ayoob karim came on the scene to correct such.
This would mean protecting the Word of the Quran to be futile.
Another aspect that apostate Ayoob Karim fails to understand is Attacking the Ahadith does not break Islam or Deen of Allah or whatever else the apostate ignoramus wishes to call it from its laws.
 
The laws of Shariah have been passed down the line through the Fuqaha who are direct students of the Sahabah Radiallahu anhum.Therefore if apostate Ayoob Karim and his Liberal organization would really want to scuttle away the Laws of Islam he would have to go up the line and discredit the Fuqaha and thereafter the Sahabah Radiallahu anhum,this however is not a trainsmash as we are quite sure he also discredits the Sahabah.
 
This would thus mean that Islam and Deen ullah as the jaahil calls it was lost even at the time of the companions of Nabi sallalahu alaihi wasallam, which would mean a complete failure of the mission of Nabi sallalahu alaihi wasallam and that 14 centuries later a jaahil who only studied comparative religion has gotten it right.
A simple way to Guage Ayoob karims mental instability and that of the Quranists is realizing the hallucinations of these fools by simply picturing the day of Qiyamah,wherein according to them the Sahabah, fuqaha,muhaditheen, the pious who had even been responsible for Ayoob Karim being a Muslim before becoming an apostate and every person who did anything productive for Islam historically would be on one side and Ayoob Karim and his modernist Liberal faction who "coincidentally" has the same objections towards Islam as the atheists and Liberalism in general would be on the other, and it would turn out that Ayoob Karim and his beardless modernist gang of the 21st century had been right and those that had been around when Revelation had come down and in the companionship of the messenger himself and their students all didn't understand Islam's reality.
 
Just as no sane person would take a mad man on the street speaking about medicine seriously,The Muslim community should take a stand against Ayoob Karim and Quranists hallucinations for what it is; mere hallucinations.

RADIO ISLAM SEX INTERVIEW

Continuing from our last post (which was to prepare all for this post); from females on air to TV, to females on TV, to rubbing shoulders and taking pictures with females and now to openly discussing private and intimate matters of a sexual nature, and that too with the women speaking on these subjects. JUSA has lost every vestige of Hayaa and clearly on the road to destruction and unfortunately taking their ignorant and naïve followers with them on this road.

Where to next?

Not much needs to be said. The program and the promotion of t says it all.

May Allah Ta'aala protect us all as they are openly inviting His Azaab.

HOW JUSA SIDELINED THE SHARIAH AND MADE A U-TURN IN ORDER TO BE ON MEDIA

JUSA'S mouthpiece "Radio Islam" had begun to compromise Deen for in exchange for media coverage years ago. The rot at JUSA and their compromise didn't begin now and will certainly not improve.

It is therefore the responsibility of every Aalim to warn their communities and to speak out against the dilution of Deen.

They went from making petitions against female voices being on air to sitting shoulder to shoulder with women and bringing their faces on TV.

Would the founders of Jamiatul Ulama Traansvaal, Mufti Sanjalvi Rahmatullahi alaih and Maulana Mia Saheb Rahmatullahi and the the other leadership of the Jamiat Transvaal have allowed for intermingling of sexes, women on air and television? The first volume of Ar Rasheed (which JUSA boasts about as theirs) shows that they were against TV!

Does JUSA and the public at large think that such foresighted giants would not have discussed the idea of radio stations and even television when they were still at the helm?

Once again we again remind the public that Jamiatul Ulama Transvaal and JUSA are two separate entities which are poles apart. JUSA taking credit for the work of others who stood for different values is deceptive.

Let JUSA have "anniversaries" for their work:
- Closing the Musaajid before government made such a rule
-Going to court to oppose those who tried to get the Musaajid opened up when closed by government
-Going to court with feminist and pro lesbians
-Opening TV channels
-Interfaith participation, going to churches and praying with Kufaar

Let JUSA speak of their accomplishments and not of others whom they have no Deeni relationship with

QUESTIONS TO MUFTI SHAFIQ JAKHURA REGARDING HIS TAKAFUL LECTURE

BY ASK GORA MOTA AND QALAMUL HAQ

1. A) You mention the use of Asbaab (means) for "risk mitigation" and tying the camel. Kindly explain the difference between permissible, impermissible and doubtful means and its ruling in Shariah. Can risk mitigation be done in any way possible even if it has a doubtful nature?

b) You equate denial of adopting insurance with Takaaful to refusal of food for satiating hunger.
Are these two examples on the same level of Asbaab and means?
What is the difference between definite and indefinite means and its rulings?

2. A) You claim that Takaaful premiums are merely a charitable contribution and not a contract.

- What is the Shar'ee ruling of making a charitable offering mandatory?
- Kindly provide references from the major books of Hanafi Fiqh.

B) If it is a charitable fund and the purpose is only for reward, then what will be the case should a person not have enough wealth to produce his Monthly "Charity" premium? Would he still benefit from the purely charitable contributions of others due to being part of the charitable fund?

C) Are those contributing doing so merely on the basis of reward of Aakhirah (which is what charity is about) or contributing to claim in an event of an emergency? Based on your answer to this, do you believe that the members would still contribute if told that they would be unable to receive cover thereafter?

D) In the examples mentioned regarding the Sahabah radiallahu anhum, was the charitable contributions mandatory and obliged? If a Sahabi failed to contribute would he be taken out from this "fund" (as you call it)?

3. Did you inform the Muslim community that Takaaful South Africa is reinsured by conventional insurance? (Thus making it fall within the umbrella of conventional insurance!)

4. Kindly provide an example of

Attending the funeral of ANC activist 
 
Question:-

Recently some Ulama attended the funeral of an ANC activist who had pro LGBTQ+ views. She did not retract her views, but her brother says that before she passed away, she recited the Kalimah. Is it permitted for the ulama to attend such a burial and service?

Answer:-

The ANC activist in question, was pro LGBTQ+ and, in fact, made an effort to try and change the mindset of people and thereby get them to accept those involved in these acts of evil. In fact, she regarded the LGBTQ+ community similar to the indigenous people that were put into a Bantustan during the apartheid era, indicating that they are not recognized or acknowledged, hence, we should change our mindset and accept the concept of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexual, transgender and queer, whereas, regarding something prohibited and Haraam in the Shariah as permissible, results in one losing their Imaan. It is on this basis that she lost her Imaan.

 

We are not fully aware of her history, but according to the articles on the internet, her name was Yasmin Dangor and she later changed it to Jessie Duarte. The reason for this change is unknown to us. However, based on her beliefs with regard to LGBTQ+ which we have explained above, she was considered as a Murtaddah.

 

Now, if she reverted to Islam, then it was necessary for her to have recited the Kalimah-e-Shahaadat and openly declare that she disassociates and distances herself from homosexuality, lesbianism etc. and she should have clearly stated that it is unacceptable in our Deen. By doing so, she would have been considered as a Muslim once again (by one and all) and afforded a Muslim burial without any form of dispute. However, since there was no public retraction from her beliefs, notwithstanding the fact that she is still recognised as pro-LGBTQ+ even after her demise (as recorded on the internet), she was not worthy of being given a Muslim burial and it was incorrect for Muslims to attend her burial.

 

Yes, we do not dispute that if she had secretly repented from holding these wrong views and renewed her Imaan in secrecy, then that was a matter between her and Allah Ta’ala, and He will decide on the day of Qiyaamah. However, we will have to deal with the apparent condition of a person in this world, as we are unaware of the unseen.

 

ان من كان كفره أن من كان كفره بإنكار أمر ضروري كحرمة الخمر مثلا أنه لا بد من تبرئه مما كان يعتقده لأنه كان يقر بالشهادتين معه فلا بد من تبرئه منه كما صرح به الشافعية وهو ظاهر- رد المحتار 365 ج6

 

ثم كون التوبة سببا لغفران الذنوب وعدم المواخذة بها مما لا خلاف فيه بين الامة وليس شيئا يكون سببا لغفران جميع الذنوب الا  التوبة ثم اذا تاب توبة صحيحة صارت مقبولة غير مردودة قطعا من غير شك وشبهة – شرح فقه الأكبر ص 193 – 196

 

اگر مقتدیٰ شخص کی غلطی سے عوام کی گمرائی کا  اندیشہ ہو اور بعد میں اس مقتدیٰ شخص کو اپنی غلطی کا احساس  ہو جائے تو اسے برملا اپنی غلطی  کا اظھار کرنا چاہے تاکہ گمرائی کا سد باب  ہوسگے (كتاب النوازل ص425 ج16)

The Blockage of Sins

Sometimes a car engine does not seem to get enough fuel or any fuel. The problem can be due to different reasons: a blocked fuel line or fuel filter or some fault with the fuel pump or carburettor.

We know that the fuel lines control and regulate the flow of fuel. If it is clogged or blocked, there is difficulty to start the car since fuel does not make its way to the engine. The engine generally does not restart until the blockage is removed. A blocked fuel line also results in smoke since the fuel overflows. If there is some leak and contact with an ignition source, such as the engine, then this results in smoke and can be dangerous, even causing a fire.

In the light of this example, we can draw parallels to the consequences of our indulgence in sins.

Sometimes a sin, for which there was no repentance, creates a blockage at the time of death. Due to commission of sins, persistence in sins, and not making sincere Taubah, the spiritual heart becomes clogged and blocked. This creates great difficulty at the time of death. There is no free flow for the Kalima Tayyibah to be recited and for the soul to leave the body with ease.

Sometimes the blockage of sins become so dangerous for one’s Imaan that it prevents the person from reading the Kalima and this results in having to come into contact with the smoke and fire of Jahannum – in the Qabr and in the Aakhirah. Allah Ta’ala save us all.

It is therefore necessary to engage in Taubah and Istighfaar daily. Through the blessings of Taubah and Istighfaar, these sins which would otherwise create blockages for an easy death, are removed.

Hazrat Maulana Shah Wasiullaah (RA) had said so beautifully in poetry:

‘Is tarah se tai ki manzile, chale, gire, uthe, chale'
“We journeyed to Allah Jalla Jalalaaluhu in this way: We crawled, fell, got up, walked!”

Let us not stay stuck in the filth, dirt and grime of sins. Repair the “car” (heart and soul) with Taubah, and continue on your journey, in piety, to Him.

By Hazrat Maulana Abdul Hamid Is`haq Saheb (Daamat Barakaatuhum)

The ‘Sword’ of Kindness

In the year 6 A.H., Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) sent thirty Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) on an expedition towards Najd under the leadership of Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah Ansaari (radhiyallahu ‘anhu).

In this expedition, they captured a man of the Banu Haneefah tribe, named Thumaamah bin Uthaal (radhiyallahu ‘anhu). He was the leader of the area of Yamaamah. The Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) were however unaware of whom they had captured. When they reached Madeenah Munawwarah, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) explained to the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) who he was, and bade them to take good care of him. He (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) also asked his pure wives to send for him whatever food they had, and instructed that his camel’s milk should be presented to him in the morning and in the evening. The Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) then tied Sayyiduna Thumaamah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) to one of the pillars of Masjid Nabawi on the instruction of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) thereafter approached Sayyiduna Thumaamah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and asked him regarding his thoughts on how he would be dealt with. He explained that he had hope of being treated in a good manner (since Rasulullah [sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam] did not oppress people, but rather forgave and treated them with kindness). He further said, “If you kill me, then you will be killing a guilty person (i.e. one who has killed others and therefore deserves to be killed). And if you favour (me by freeing me), you will be favouring a person who will be grateful (for your favour). (Further,) if you want wealth, then ask for whatever amount you wish.”

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) (did not respond to him and) left him (in that condition). The next day, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) asked him the same question and he gave a similar answer. When the same happened on the third day, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) instructed that he be released and said to him, “O Thumaamah! I have forgiven you and freed you.”

When Sayyiduna Thumaamah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was set free, he proceeded to a date orchard near Masjid Nabawi, took a bath and came back to the masjid saying, “I testify that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah Ta‘ala, and that Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) is the messenger of Allah Ta‘ala.”

He then said

A HINDU’S STORY WHICH TEACHES US TO VALUE IMAAN
 
A non-Muslim randomly entered the the Masjid a short while ago . After some time, I took him to the side and asked if he was ok? He simply replied, “I just wanted to pray”. He was visibly distressed. I enquired about his situation, and he began to share his worries with me.
He told me that he is a Hindu. His girlfriend is Christian with whom he has one child. After 9 years of dating, he wants to now marry her. However, her parents refuse to accept unless he becomes a Christian too. On one hand, he wanted to remain a Hindu. Yet on the other hand, if he were to do so, she would refuse to marry him and deny him the right to see his child.
 
Upon hearing this all, I advised him to pray to God. He said to me, “Which God? How do I pray? I have no God in my life.”
 
This reply really hit me. The fact that we can speak to Allah is such a great blessing that we take for granted. We can always take comfort in the knowledge that He is omnipresent, the hearer of our duas and our unspoken thoughts and the observer of our struggles, both apparent and concealed. But non-Muslims do not have that understanding. We can always knock on His door and He will always open it and accept us into His court of mercy, whereas non-Muslims cannot find the door, let alone knock and seek His shelter.
 
He then asked me if he could watch us pray our Salaah, so I allowed him to sit inside. After Salaah I offered to drive him home. On the way he said to me that he appreciated watching our Salaah, and that it was peaceful. Once again, I began to wonder, that just seeing the prayer put his heart at ease but he cannot pray due to the lack of Imaan. Allah has gifted us with Imaan which allows us to actually perform Salaah and experience a greater level of peace, yet we leave it out over small reasons.
 
May Allah guide him to Islam and guide us to gratitude. Aameen.
 
Extract from a Bayaan of Hazrat Moulana Dawood Seedat حفظه الله
FUEL OF LOVE
 
Our honest self-analysis will make it evident to us whether we choose what Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) likes or what he dislikes. If it appears that we prefer the ways of the West over his mubarak way, then we urgently and seriously need to generate true love for Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) in our hearts. The fuel of love will propel us towards the obedience of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and instil within us the true desire to follow him in every aspect.
 
Some of the very basic things that can be done immediately to generate this love are the following:
 
► Daily read about the life of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Do this together with the family at a convenient time. Read about his sacrifices and the sacrifice of his family and Sahaaba (R.A.). This is sure to increase our love for him and make us want to follow him. The book “Stories of Sahaaba” by Sheikul Hadith Moulana Muhammad Zakaria (R.A.) is ideal for this purpose.
► Increase the recitation of Durood Shareef daily. Consider how many

Determining Success through Fulfilling the Command of Allah
 
Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned the following:
 
In todays’ times, there is an incorrect mindset that has become prevalent among many people. This incorrect mindset is where we begin to think that if we invite people towards Deen and they accept our message and receive us positively, then we are successful. On the contrary, if people do not respond positively to our message and join us in the effort, then we regard ourselves to be unsuccessful. This type of thinking and mindset is totally incorrect in the path of Deen.
How can we determine our success or failure by people accepting or not accepting our message? Them accepting and not accepting are their actions, so how can we determine our success through their actions? Rather, our success is determined through us fulfilling our responsibility (and conveying the message of Deen in the manner which is pleasing to Allah Ta‘ala). Thereafter, if people do not accept our message, then it is to their detriment and will cause them to be unsuccessful. Why should we regard ourselves as unsuccessful if others do not accept the message?

SANCTITY OF THE MASJID
 
The Masjid is from amongst the symbols of Allah e and should always be honoured and revered. Allah e states, “Whoever honours the landmarks (distinctive signs) of Allah, then this is because of the Taqwa of hearts.”
 
Rasulullah Salallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam is reported to have said, “Save yourselves from the commotion of the market places (in the Masjid.) [Re:- Baihaqi]
The commentators of Hadith have written that one should refrain from mixing with others in the Masjid as mixing takes place in the market places. Similarly one should refrain from arguing, raising the voice, being noisy, etc. in the Masjid.
 
The Masjid enjoys such sanctity that one is not even permitted to

THE PRACTICE OF EIGHTY DUROOD AFTER ASR ON FRIDAY

Q: Is the eighty durood that is recited after Asr on Friday a practice which is established in Deen? Does it have a source in the Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)?

A: The practice of reciting eighty durood after Asr on Friday is established in Deen. This practice is established from the following Hadith of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu):

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من صلى صلاة العصر من يوم الجمعة فقال قبل أن يقوم من مكانه اللهم صل على محمد النبي الأمي وعلى آله وسلم تسليماً ثمانين مرة غفرت له ذنوب ثمانين عاماً وكتبت له عبادة ثمانين سنة (القول البديع عن ابن بشكوال صـ 399)

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who performs Asr Salaah on Friday and thereafter recites eighty times before standing up from his place اللهم صل على محمد النبي الأمي وعلى آله وسلم تسليماً, eighty years of sins are forgiven for him and eighty years of (nafl) ibaadat are written for him”.

Allaamah Sakhaawi (rahimahullah) quoted this Hadith in his famous book, القول البديع, and did not declare it to be unworthy for practise, (as is his style in his book regarding Ahaadith which are not worthy for practise). Therefore, we understand that this Hadith is worthy for practise as Allaamah Sakhaawi (rahimahullah) clearly mentioned in the introduction of his book, القول البديع, that he will only include such Ahaadith in his book which are worthy for practise.

Allaamah Sakhaawi (rahimahullah) mentioned at the end of his book that he had personally examined the chains of the Ahaadith which he had quoted from Allaamah Ibnu Bashkuwaal in his book, (and among these Ahaadith is the Hadith which establishes the practice of eighty durood after Asr on Friday). Therefore, when this great Muhaddith, who was an expert in the science of authenticating Ahaadith, included this Hadith in his book on durood and regarded it worthy of practise, one may practise upon it.

BETTER THAN I’TIKAAF
 
On one occasion, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) was in i’tikaaf in Masjidun Nabawi when a person came to him and sat down after greeting him with salaam. When Sayyiduna Ibnu ‘Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) looked at the person, he observed that he was worried and anxious. He thus asked him, “O so-and-so! I see that you are overcome by grief and worry! (What is the matter?)”
 
The man replied, “Yes, O cousin of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! I owe so-and-so an outstanding debt, and I am unable to settle it (and that is the reason for my worry and anxiety)!” Sayyiduna Ibnu ‘Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) offered, “Shall I speak to him on your behalf (requesting him to grant you some form of respite)?” The man replied, “(Yes,) if you wish.” Sayyiduna Ibnu ‘Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) thus stood and left the masjid.
 
As he left the masjid, the man reminded him, “Have you forgotten

OUR RESPONSE TO THAT GUY MENK
 
I’m telling you guys, wait for two weeks, three weeks and then talk again let see how you change your tune.
We’re telling you from now, you know the Masjid is one of the super spreaders simply because we go down in sujood. When you down in sujood you breathe the carpet, that carpet for the next 9 to 14 days anyone who comes down there you are gone, in the sense that chances of you catching it are almost 80% Look at that.
So I’m trying to tell you guys this is something serious, take it seriously. If your old folks want to go visiting, no one must visit you and you don’t visit.

BY ALLAH, WE HAVE NOT CHANGED OUR TUNE.

Undermining Authority
 
Allah Ta‘ala has designed the world as a place where some people will have authority over others. For example, the ruler will have authority over the citizens, the employer will have some degree of authority over his employees, the principal over the school, the station commander over the policemen under him, etc. This is the system of Allah Ta‘ala, which is not only essential for maintaining law and order, but also for mankind to progress and be productive.
If no person respected and recognized the police force, there would be widespread anarchy and lawlessness. Likewise, if no person was prepared to submit to an employer, we would not be able to organize and coordinate labour forces to produce goods and render services on a large scale.
 
In the same manner, every home has a leader at the helm – the head of the household and figure of authority – and it is the father whom Allah Ta‘ala has appointed to this position. On account of the natural authority given to him by Allah Ta‘ala, the father administrates the affairs of

THE METHOD TO ACQUIRE THE RECOGNITION OF ALLAH TA’ALA
 
Hazrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned the following:
Throughout the day and night, man continues to enjoy countless favours and bounties from Allah Ta‘ala. Among the countless favours of Allah Ta‘ala which man enjoys is the favour of eating, drinking, sleeping and other similar comforts. At the time one enjoys any favour, he should ponder over the favour and recognize it to be the favour of Allah Ta‘ala which he has been bestowed with. He should say, “O Allah, this is a favour I have received from You, and I am appreciative and grateful for it.”
Through one pondering over the favours of Allah Ta‘ala and expressing gratitude over them in this manner, he will progress in acquiring the recognition of Allah Ta‘ala in his heart.

EXPOSING FAULTS OF ANYONE TO SAVE THE PEOPLE FROM FITNAH IS NOT GHEEBAH
 
Muhammed bin Abi khalaf rahmatullahi alaih once reports that,
We were in the esteemed presence of Ibn Ulaiya Rahimahullah when suddenly a man came and enquired regarding taking knowledge from layth bin Abi sulaym, so some of the people in the gathering responded,
"And what are you even doing attempting to aquire Hadith from layth when he is weak in the science of narrating? Why don't you enquire regarding acquiring and narrating hadith from Ayub rahmatullahi,”
So the man responded:

JUSA'S STANCE ON THE TALIBAN'S VICTORY - A RESPONSE
 
This article has been written firstly for the pleasure of Allah and thereafter as a caution to the Ummah and a plea to Jamiatul Ulama South Africa (JUSA) to reconsider their stance and attitude to our pristine Deen. This plea is borne out of a hope we hold that the hearts of the latter are not sealed, but if it is we beg Allah سبحانه وتعالى to guide us and them and to make us all beacons of guidance for this Ummah as well as defenders against misguidance, Ameen. The hope is also held that they are not fulfilling the prophecies of being the deviated scholars who will be worse than Dajjal.
 
If, however, their hearts are actually sealed and they are amongst the deviated scholars, then we beseech Allah سبحانه وتعالى to let their misguidance fall back on themselves, to protect this Ummah from them and to remove them with their evil and mischief.
 
The retaking of Afghanistan by the Taliban has caught the attention of, and drawn mixed reactions from, the international community. Whilst Muslims in general expressed their joy at the return of a Muslim country to their own, the mainstream media (MSM) jumped back onto their bandwagon of Islamophobia. This biased trend has become so brazen and natural that even the peaceful takeover process with its offerings of general amnesty and supported by the majority Afghan population was tainted by the MSM casting doubt on the Taliban's future ability to rule with justice, thereby showing their stubborn adherence to a tired rhetoric.
And then came the response of JUSA by its executive committee in the form of a press statement dated 17 August 2021. Being a Muslim organisation, the statement had to reflect the general congratulatory stance of the Muslims towards the Taliban. The conclusion, however, was where the true colours of the organisation really came to the fore.
 
As a background, this was the same organisation who sided with secularists at

WHEN IS ENOUGH REALLY ENOUGH?
 
The million dollar question is more relevant than ever: When does one put one's foot down and say "I've had enough"? What will it take for us to pressurize the illegitimate, immoral and despotic monarchy of Saudi Arabia into reversing their open onslaught against Islam? In the past, the mere economic and military (albeit covert) co-operation between Saudi and Israel would be a convincing enough argument. (Currently, even greater inroads have been made in “normalizing” relations with the apartheid state)
Others may have only been swayed at the point when the respected Imaams of the haramein were famously put under house arrest. This move effectively gagged all criticism of the Saudi monarchy and its allies (read USA/Israel) from the pulpit. Yet, others may only have been persuaded at the point when MBS put into motion his "reforms" (read own brand of Sharia), which included giving more freedom to women and

PROTECTION FROM AFFLICTIONS
by Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (rahmatullah alayh)
 
We have been taught by Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam), that on seeing a sick person, we should read a certain Dua, the blessings of which are such, that we will be protected from that same sickness.
So when we see a line of patients outside a hospital, or we visit the sick, we quietly read the Dua:
"All praise is due to Allah who has saved me from that with which He afflicted you and gave me excellence over most of whom He created.[1]"
 
When we see a line of people cueing up in front of a cinema, or engaging in sins, then these people are spiritually sick.
We should read the same Dua, and we should also express gratitude to Allah Ta’ala for protecting us – otherwise we too could be in those same sins.
Added to this, make sincere Dua that Allah Ta’ala grants Hidayah[2] to these people
who are spiritually sick.
 
Just as we do not look down upon a person who is physically sick, we should not look down upon one who is indulging in sins. He is spiritually sick and in greater need of treatment and medication, than the patient with physical ailments.
 
[1] This Dua should not be read aloud, such that the person hears, since it could hurt his feelings.

JUSA'S (Jamiatul Ulama South Africa) CONTRADICTORY PR CAMPAIGN
 
EDUCATE AND ENLIGHTEN YOURSELF! YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THE TRUTH!
Kindly keep these resources handy while reading
JUSA'S statement:

UUCSA's submissions (heads of argument) to the Constitutional Court (from the official Con Court website):
https://collections.concourt.org.za/.../%5bSecond...
 
Womxn's Legal Centre Trust website: https://wlce.co.za/about-us/
 
As was previously stated, the trajectory of JUSA is very similar to the political landscape of the country.
Some might be familiar with the PR campaign run by Bell Pottinger in South African politics, which was a huge failure. Similarly, JUSA'S PR campaign is heavily muddled up.
Note the contradictions and inconsistencies between their public statements and their submissions before the court. Very similar to the political landscape yet again.

WHAT IS A PR CAMPAIGN?
 
"Public relations (PR) is the practice of managing and disseminating information from an individual or an organisation (such as a business, government agency, or a nonprofit organisation) to the public in order to affect public perception of the same.
The goal of a public relations campaign is to create a media narrative or control the spread of information about an organisation to attract supporters or customers."

In a PUBLIC statement (PR statement would be a more appropriate title), dated 2 Muharram 1443, JUSA states in the opening paragraph that it seeks to:

Upholding the Complete Sunnah in All Aspects of One’s Life
 
Hazrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned the following:
When it comes to following the sunnah, then generally, people only think of the sunnahs of salaah, fasting, etc. However, there are sunnahs that apply to every dimension of human living, as Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) has shown us how to conduct in every situation of life. If a person emulates and upholds certain sunnahs, but neglects to practice on other sunnahs, then though he will receive benefit, he will not receive the full benefit of emulating the complete sunnah.

THE POST-COVID ERA
 
Perform as much good deeds as you can possibly perform now, because (in my personal estimation) we'll be inching into a fascist socialist anti-religious era in the post-Covid era. Bank all these good deeds for your Aakhirat.
 
We are currently deprived of performing Salaat in the Masjid, tomorrow our Muslim Schools, Darul Ulooms, Welfare Organisations and all our humanitarian institutes may also be gradually curtailed by the iron fisted fascist world order....
 
Use up all your cash in charity and in paying off your debts before we enter into the era of cashless society whence we won't be able to feed a starving person without government approval. Impart good values to your children before the state takes them over by indoctrinating them with atheism and satanism in their schools.
Perform as much worship as possible in your homes before private worship is also snatched away - just like in present day China. Don't wile away your time seeing Netflix during this lockdown, but spend it in ibaadaat so that we may regain our public space. If we abuse our private freedom today, this may also be snatched away - BEWARE OF
THIS REALITY.
 
And resist the evil forces as much as possible.
 
Don't give up your rights and freedoms easily. Fight against

ISAALE THAWAAB

Mufti Mohammad Desai 

A person that is experiencing some sort of difficulty in the grave is relieved and finds some solace when the living pass over rewards or make Isaal-e-Thawaab for him. We should therefore form a habit of passing over the rewards of our good deeds to the deceased.

Why do we Face Calamities?

 

A person once wrote a letter to Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) and mentioned the following, “I have not usurped the right of any person, nor have I oppressed or wronged any person. Hence, I cannot understand why I am suffering one calamity and misfortune after another.”

Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) wrote the following reply:

In this regard, one must bear two things in mind. Firstly, people are sometimes unaware of the wrongs and sins that they have committed. Hence, when a person makes claims such as, “I have never oppressed any person, or usurped the wealth of any person,” then may Allah Ta‘ala make it such that his statement is true. Nevertheless, at no time should a person ever regard himself as free of faults and sins. Rather, at all times, one should acknowledge and confess his sins and weaknesses before Allah Ta‘ala. From the depths of his heart and with complete sincerity he should beg Allah Ta‘ala to forgive and pardon him.

It is reported in the Hadith that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would himself make the following du‘aa,

POINT-BY-POINT REFUTATION OF THE STATEMENT RELEASED BY UUCSA
 
1. UUCSA Statement: Why has UUCSA gone to the Constitutional Court? UUCSA is neither an applicant nor respondent in the matter. The Women’s Legal Centre went to court to have Muslim marriages recognised. Our role is simply to offer a perspective for the consideration of the Constitutional Court. Our function as amicus is to protect the interests of Islam and Muslims and to preserve the Shariah.
 
Response: This statement is highly misleading and bordering on dishonesty.
The “perspective” offered by UUCSA was to submit a full-throated support of the Women’s Legal Centre application. UUCSA need not be reminded that the WLC is a feminist body with a feminist agenda that has openly expressed a desire to mutate the Shariah to conform with the secular constitution. UUCSA’s joining as friends of the court and making submissions that lend credence to the WLC position means that it is neither protecting the Shariah nor promoting Islam. Rather, it is effectively promoting a feminist mutation of the Shariah and seeking to deceive the public with nonsensical justifications that do not align with its court submissions.
 
2. UUCSA Statement: What is the hearing at the Constitutional Court about? The central issue in the Constitutional Court hearing is

JAMIAT KZN FATWA AGAINST INTERFAITH
 
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh
Respected Brother/Sister in Islam
 
The principle in the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims is coexistence. Muslims living in non-Muslim countries have to engage in their communities while observing their Islamic identity. It is not permissible for Muslims to join non-Muslims in anything that violates the fundamentals of Islamic law. Rather, it is permissible for Muslims to speak kindly and participate with non-Muslims in a manner that does not contradict the commands of Allah and His Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam).
The Inter-Faith ideology based on the premise that all religions are equally legitimate and no religion possesses absolute truth is against the beliefs and teachings of Islam.
 
The eternal salvation of every person depends upon

REGARDING THE INTERFAITH PRAYERS THAT JAMIAT SOUTH AFRICA ATTENDED
 
Mufti Salejee Saheb
 
QUESTION
Assalaamualaikum, what is the Status of interfaith gatherings and prayers, the likes of which Jamiatul Ulama South Africa attended?
 
ANSWER
Bismihi Ta`ala
Haamidan wa Musalliyan
 
Respected Brother / Sister in Islam
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh
 
It is not permissible to attend such a gathering. A disbeliever is one who earns the wrath and curse of Allah Ta`ala. Hence, how do you expect his prayer (dua) to be accepted? Further, his presence will be an obstacle for the acceptance of dua.
Secondly, it is obvious that the disbeliever will implore his false gods when praying. Hence, the Muslim who is present will be a silent partner to this act of shirk and kufr. Today he is imploring his false god in the presence of the gathering and tomorrow he could bring his idol along and worship it while all the attendees are viewing him. Thirdly, attending such a gathering is

UUCSA CLUTCHING ON TO THE LEGACY OF THOSE, WHOSE TEACHINGS THEY HAVE ABANDONED!
 
UUCSA today on the 2nd of August has released a statement accusing some 'small constituencies' of trying to run a 'smear campaign' against their great 'United' organisation.
Does UUCSA remember their actions from March 2020? Their insistence on closing the houses of ALLAAH TA'ALA. Their joining hands with the Kuffar and secularists to keep the Ummah away from the Masajid? The current disgrace is a culmination of their own efforts!
Surah Ar-Room, Verse 41:
ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
Evil has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned (by oppression and evil deeds, etc.), that Allah may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return (by repenting to Allah, and begging His Pardon).
Do they still not realise their great crime and oppression that had fragmented the Ummah and caused the 'disunity' they wish to 'remedy' and regain their lost 'confidence'
In the words of Mufti Ebrahim Salejee Sahib, the principal of a leading Islamic seminary in Isipingo Beach: "The Ummah has lost confidence in you because you've closed the Masaajid!"
Unity can only be achieved in accordance with
