A picture and an update...

Assalaamu Alaykum everyone,

Sorry been so long getting my blog updated but been uber busy lately with the Da'wah and everything else.

Also had a little illness and a few personal issues but alhamdulillah everything ok.

Right so what is happening?

Well the Da'wah is getting better in my local city, we now have two, sometimes three Dawah stalls in the city centre on Saturdays, and one at least most of the rest of the week.

Quite frankly the other brothers are better at it than us, so got lots to learn from them inshallah. They are also running new muslim classes in one of the local masaajid so when we get a Shahadah we just take them to someone else and know they will be taken care of inshallah.

Tesol course is going well mashallah, it is very hard though as a word of warning for those planning on this course for next year but it is meant to be hard as a Cambridge certified TESOL course is a passport to jobs all over the world Inshallah.

But lots of note taking, two or three hours reading every week, as well as learning all the grammar they no longer teach you in school anymore and on top of that... assignments!

I've done a bit more teaching practice, and although I am a bag of nerves in my head, apparently I come across very calm and gentle and everyone including the other students and teachers say I get things across very well.

Finally here is a picture i lifted from a bnp supporting website... I really liked it. lol.

OK I am leaving the UK, there is a war on and its not allowed to stop here but doesn't mean I cant like the fact the Da'wah is going well and the kuffar are losing not just on the battlefields of Afghanistan but the battlefields in the hearts and minds of the British public.

Assalaamu alaykum,

Abu Abillah

Takfir, Ignorance, and Aiding the Kuffar

Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem


All Praise and All Thanks are for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to whom we shall all return to be judged on The Last Day.


"From each and every direction He has the power to deliver misfortune to you - to sow confusion and dissension among you. Thus do We reveal our Signs, that you might understand them." 6:65 Interpretation of Meaning



What is Takfir?

Takfir is declaring an individual, previously known to be or considered to be Muslim, to be a kaffir, an unbeliever. Takfir can also be declared upon a group. Thus, the individual or group are no longer part of the Ummah.


Caution Regarding Takfir:

Takfir is a serious issue, since it was authentically reported that the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

"If someone accuses someone of Fusuq or Kufr, such an accusation will be returned to be upon he [who so accused] if that accusation is false." Narrated Abu Dhar. Bukhari: Vol 8, Book 73, number 71

Thus, for such a declaration, there must be proof. According to Sheikh ul-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah (Rahimullah):

"The person will only be outside Islam when there is no doubt because there is proof against him." [Majamu Al-Fatwa 12, 467.]


Furthermore, for a Muslim to become a kaffir, it is agreed that the person either commits one of the acts which expels the Muslim from the Ummah - such as mocking the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) - or that the person must have chosen kufr (refer to al-Qurtubi: al-Jamia li Ahkamul Quran, 7/6128) in which case if a Muslim of little or no knowledge does something out of ignorance then that Muslim does not become a kaffir, for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"There shall be the Mercy of Allah upon those who err from ignorance if they, and swiftly, regret such error." 4:17 Interpretation of Meaning


Thus, if a Muslim we know makes some mistake, or errs, then Adab Al-Islam requires us - gently and with humility (and if possible in private) - to draw the attention of that Muslim to such a mistake or error. It was reported that the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

"There is no Believer who does not make an error sometimes, or who does not make some mistake which they persist in and do not abandon until they leave this world. For, in truth, the Believer was created to be frequently tried and tested: someone who often regrets (then) forgets, again. But when corrected, they correct themselves." Reported by at-Tabarani in al-Mujamul Kabir (no. 11,810); hasan.



Issues Regarding Takfir - Aiding the Kuffar:

1) For takfir to be declared, the nullifiers of Islam must be known. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"Allah does not lead a people astray after His guidance has been given until He makes clear to them wherein error lies." 9: 115 Interpretation of Meaning


Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab - Rahimahullah - gathered ten actions that negate one's Islam (Nawaqid ul-Ashr), the eighth one of which states: "Assisting the disbelievers (against the believers) (Mudhaharatul Mushrikeen) and supporting them against the believers is one of the actions that negates of one's Islam..." Thus, it is generally and widely known that one of these nullifiers of one's Islam is supporting, aiding or allying with the kuffar against the Muslims. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"Obey, follow and give allegiance only to that brought to you from your Sustainer, and do not obey, nor follow nor give allegiance to those who are Awliya' besides Him." 7:3 Interpretation of Meaning

"You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with and loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam), even if they are their fathers or their sons or their kindred..." 58:22 Interpretation of the meaning

In addition, as Sheikh Abdullah ibn Humaid said:

"Whoever expresses Tawalli towards the disbelievers (Tawalli Kuffar) and supports and helps them against the believers, then such constitutes apostasy by one's (proceeding) actions. It is obligatory to apply the rules of apostasy upon such a person as is proved by The Book, the Sunnah and the consensus of the scholars." Ad-Durrar 15/479


Furthermore, Sheikh Abdul Latif bin Abdur Rahman bin Hassan Aal-Sheikh said:

"Whomsoever helps the disbelievers or brings them to the country of Ahl Al-Islam, then that person is clearly an apostate." Ad-Durrar 8/326


Also, as Sheikh Safar bin 'Abdir-Rahmaan al-Hawaali said:

"Aiding the Non-Muslims over Muslims - no matter which form of aid or co-operation it be, even if it is merely in speech - this is clear Kufr and sheer hypocrisy. The one who does this has perpetrated one of the actions which negates Islam, as has been specifically stated by the Imams of the Dawah and others, and such a person is not a believer in the Aqeedah of al-Wala and al-Bara."


Thus, we should be in no doubt that if a Muslim chooses to aid, ally themselves with, the kuffar against the Muslims then they have negated their Islam.


2) Since we judge someone by what is apparent, it is apparent that if a Muslim joins the Armed Forces or the Police of the kuffar, and wears the uniform of the kuffar, then they have sworn allegiance to the kuffar and/or to some Taghut of the kuffar - such as a President, some nation-State, or some kaffir leader - since such allegiance is a necessary part of joining and belonging to such kaffir organizations. In addition, a Muslim pledges thereby to uphold the fallible manufactured laws of the kuffar and to obey the kuffar.

Thus, by doing such things the person in question has made a knowing and willing choice, for they know and accept that such kaffir organizations have aided and do aid the kuffar over and above Muslims; that they place and value kaffir manufactured laws above Shariah, and have imprisoned Muslims, invaded and occupied Muslim lands; killed and tortured and humiliated Muslims. Furthermore, for a Muslim, allegiance, submission and obedience can only be to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, for that is Eeman, which is manifest by:

"Those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, who are steadfast, and who strive with their wealth and their lives for the Way of Allah." 49:15 Interpretation of Meaning

However, instead of only striving for the Way of Allah, to raise the Word of Allah, those individuals who ally themselves with the kuffar are striving in the way of the kuffar, for the Taghut of the kuffar, in order to establish the Taghut of the kuffar - such as "democracy" and the nation-State and the implementation of manufactured kaffir laws in place of Shariah. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"Allah is the Wali of those who believe: from darkness, He leads them into the light, while those do not believe have, as their Wali, their Taghut so that they are led from light into darkness. For them, there is the Fire, where they shall dwell forever." 2: 257 Interpretation of Meaning

"Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut. So therefore fight against those friends of Shaitaan." 4: 76 Interpretation of Meaning

"Their way is to refer matters to a Taghut. " 4:60 Interpretation of Meaning


3) Thus, we can state that takfir can - and should - be made upon those who have given their allegiance to the organizations of the kuffar, for these organizations are based upon Tawagheet and are striving through force, or persuasion, or both, to have people submit to such Tawagheet, just as such organizations demand loyalty to such Tawagheet, judge by such Tawagheet, and just as they are striving against Deen Al-Islam and Muslims who, in obedience to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, refuse to bow down to and accept such Tawagheet.

"The words of your Rabb are complete, perfect - manifesting truth, justice, and nothing shall ever abrogate them." 6:115 Interpretation of Meaning


May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala protect us from all forms of Al-asabiyyah Al-Jahiliyyah, forgive us for our mistakes, and guide us to and keep us on the Right Path.

From Neo-Nazi to Muslim

Assalaamu Alaykum all,

Here is an excellent reversion story for you all to enjoy, just to show that no matter how far someone has gone into Jahiliyyah, Allah may bring them out again.

Assalaamu Alaykum,
Abu Abdillah

Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem

"And remember Allah's blessing upon you when you were enemies, and He brought your hearts together, so that by His blessing you became brothers." Quran 3:103 Interpretation of Meaning

Islam - submission to the will of Allah. I converted to Islam because there came a time when both my mind and my heart accepted that there was no god but Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and that Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was His Messenger. All that I had believed and upheld before this conversion is at worst wrong, and at best irrelevant. My duty now, the purpose of my life, is to submit to the will of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala - to live, InshaAllah, as a Muslim in the way that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has decreed, through His Prophet and Messenger, Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam). One of the many wonderful things which occurred on the day I converted was when the Imaam of the Mosque explained that by accepting Islam I had begun a new life - Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala had forgiven me my past, and it was as if I started my life again with my Book of Life, the record of my deeds, empty.

"It is not for the believer - man or woman - when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter, that they should have any option in their decision. For whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has indeed strayed into plain error." 33:36 Interpretation of Meaning

Thus did I acquire a new life, a new identity - for I am a Muslim, and all Muslims are my brothers, wherever they happen to live, and whatever race they are said to belong to. How was it that I, a Westerner with a history of over twenty-five years of political involvement in extreme "right-wing" organizations - a former leader of the political wing of the neo-Nazi group Combat 18 - came to be standing one Sunday outside a Mosque with a sincere desire to go inside and convert to Islam? The simple answer is that it was the guidance of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala - He guided me there. As for my political past, it belongs to the past. All I can and should do, as a Muslim, is to trust in Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, The Most Merciful, He Who Often Forgives.



In terms of the 'Western' explanation that most Westerners will seek in order to try and understand my conversion, I suppose my journey toward Islam began when I first went to Egypt - over ten years before my reversion to Islam - and, as a tourist, visited a Mosque. The Adhan - the call to prayer - had begun and I was struck by its beauty. It is fair to say my heart responded to it in a way that, at the time, I did not understand. Then, I knew little about Islam, and at that time I did not investigate it further, returning to my life in England, and my political activities. Yet something of that moment of beauty stayed with me, in the months after my visit - as did the image of the Sun rising in Cairo over the minaret, the dome, of a Mosque as I cycled along the dusty road from the airport toward the city, heading for the desert.

Less than a year later, I returned to Cairo with my wife. We spent two weeks travelling, visiting the usual tourist sites - but it was "Islamic" Cairo that we both enjoyed the most, and we spent several days wandering around there, she suitably and modestly attired (in a garment she had made herself) and I with my Tweed cap, long baggy trousers and rather bushy red beard. Everywhere we were greeted with friendliness, and I was in some ways sad to leave, although I did not know then why I felt sad. I did not at that time make any connection between the way I felt, and Islam, even though I once had spent an hour or so outside a Mosque waiting to hear the Adhan again and even though, while browsing in a bookshop in Cairo, I had bought a copy of an English interpretation of the Quran. I just felt, vaguely, that I wanted to know more about the people and what I considered was their culture. My wife (who did not share my political views) and I even took to eating, while there, with only our right hands so as not to give offence, for, like her, I considered that manners were important, and - unlike her - part of being English, as if the English had some kind of monopoly on manners.

The next year, we returned to Egypt again, as we returned the year after that, although two months after our last visit my wife fell ill, to die six weeks later of cancer. Yet each time we returned to Egypt we both learnt a little more about the people, and what I still regarded as their culture, and each time, after our visits, we returned to our English way of life: she to her rather quiet, unassuming, life and I to my political activities and my pride in being English. In those days, I believed that it was our nation, our national culture, which defined us and which therefore was of supreme importance, and I felt I had a duty to fight to preserve this culture, and the identity I assumed went with it. Thus, I was staunchly - and in the previous decade, violently - opposed to non-White immigration into Britain and had twice been jailed for violence in pursuit of my political aims. In addition, I regarded Western culture, and what I called Western civilization, as superior to any other, and was very proud to be English. Had we not built the greatest Empire, the most civilized Empire, the world had ever seen? For over two decades I had been active in various nationalist political organizations, and various para-military groups, as I had written several articles, and essays, about nationalism and National-Socialism. Indeed, it is true to say that I was a National-Socialist - a nazi; someone who admired Adolf Hitler and who sincerely believed that he had created a good, and honourable, society for the German people, and that a campaign of lies, disinformation and propaganda had been directed at him, and at National-Socialist Germany. I really did regard him as a good man, an honourable man, just as I strived, in my own way, to be honourable - to do my duty to my people, my nation, believing that sometimes hard choices, hard decisions, have to made and that violence was justified, and indeed necessary, to achieve my political aims, for how else could our nation, our race, be saved?

Not long after the death of my wife, I went back to Egypt - to wander into the desert, and to find a kind of peace there. Back in Cairo, an Egyptian I had met invited me into his home and I spent a very happy evening there. We talked, briefly, about Islam, but I was too enwrapped in my own life, my own personal concerns, to discus the matter further. But the people, the sights, the sounds, the smells of Egypt - the sound of the Adhan - lingered in my memory, month after month, following my return to England.

It was around that time that the violent National-Socialist group Combat 18 came to public attention, and I enthusiastically helped them for over three years - often by writing racist articles; often by giving speeches and attending various events. And yet I could never quite forget the sound of the Adhan, the feeling of being alone in the desert and what I can only describe as the wonder of Islam. It was as if I had caught a glimpse of something strange, and beautiful: a fleeting memory of another world; a memory of something sublime, sacred, which made my own life, and especially my own political aims and views, seem small, insignificant, and maybe even unethical.

Years ago I had experienced - or believed I had experienced - something of the divine, the sacred. This was when - following my release from my second term of imprisonment for violence - I went on a retreat in a Nazarene monastery, following many months of thinking about politics, religion, and life in general. I eventually stayed two years at the monastery, becoming a monk - more drifting into it, than out of conviction. Toward the end of my time as a monk I began to believe that I was shirking what I still regarded as my duty to create a better world, by means of politics. Thus I left, to travel and wander for a while, before returning to nationalist politics, to my pride in being English.


It was during my time with Combat 18 that I decided to return to Egypt. It was an Egypt-Air flight, and I spent well over an hour listening to the Quran, which I found was being broadcast on one of the channels of the "in-flight" entertainment system. Immediately, in Cairo, I felt at home, at ease, and I really did sense, then, that I belonged in such a place with minarets and the Adhan around me. I have always loathed cities and large towns - but Cairo was somehow different. I liked it (and still do) - despite the overcrowding, the noise, the traffic, and it was during this visit that I began to appreciate the difference between Arab nationalism, and Islam, for I talked to several Egyptians, and several Muslims, about their land, about Islam, about life in general.

I returned to England to find bad-manners, arrogance, materialism, decadence, and for the first time in my life I did not really feel comfortable among my own people. But gradually, over the coming months, the feeling faded, and I continued with my political work - believing I could and should make a difference; that the answers of nationalism and National-Socialism were right. For I was still in thrall to my own ego, my own Western way of life.


Reversion to Islam:

My conversion/reversion really begin when I started a new job, working long hours on a farm, often by myself. This followed my arrest by a special Police team from Scotland Yard who were investigating me for incitement to racial hatred, and conspiracy and incitement to murder. Prior to my arrest, the founder and first leader of Combat 18, and one of his close friends, had been arrested for murder, and both of them would be convicted of murder and sentenced to many years in Prison.

I was released, while the Police tried to find sufficient evidence to convict me in British Court of Law. In the end, they would spend over three years trying to gather this evidence, and their investigation involved the Police forces, and the intelligence services, of Canada, France, and the United States. I was arrogantly determined to continue my political work and that of Combat 18, but I was losing my enthusiasm - not because of my arrest, or my pending trial, or anything similar, but rather because I had glimpsed that other world again: the world of the divine, of God. The world that I felt on hearing the Adhan; that I felt on hearing the Quran on my flight to Egypt; the world I felt when alone in the desert, knowing how close I was to death, how slender was my own thread of life. It was as if in the desert, on hearing the Adhan, on hearing the Quran, on talking with a well-mannered Muslim, I felt the reality of God.

"Allah (alone) has power over, and is the (sole) master of, all things. The creations in Heaven and Earth, the very change of Night to Day, are Signs for those gifted with intelligence, those who whether sitting, standing or reclining on their sides, give praise to Allah and who frequently recall these creations in Heaven and Earth, (saying): 'You who are our Rabb - You created all these things for a purpose; the achievement is Yours alone.' " 3:189-191 Interpretation of Meaning

"This present life is only like water which We send down from the clouds so that the luxuriant herbage sustaining man and beast may grow; until when the Earth puts on its lovely garment and becomes adorned, and its people believe that they are its masters - down then comes Our scourge upon it by night or in broad day, laying it waste as though it had not blossomed yesterday. Thus We make plain our Signs to thoughtful men." 10: 24-25 Interpretation of meaning

The close contact with Nature I encountered on the farm, the toil of manual labour, really did restore my soul, my humanity, and I became slowly aware, over a period of many months, of the Oneness of the Cosmos and of how I was but part of this wonderful Order which I felt God had created. In my heart and in my mind I was began to feel that this Order had not arisen by chance - it was created, as I myself was created for a purpose. I felt the truth of the one and only Creator in my heart and in my mind. For the first time in my life, I felt truly humble. Then, as if by chance (but I assume it was the guidance of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) I took from my bookcase one of the copies of the Quran I had bought after one of my visits to Egypt. I began to read it properly - before, I had merely "dipped into it", reading a few verses, here and there. What I found was logic, reason, truth, revelation, justice, humanity and beauty. Then, with a desire to find out more about Islam, I "surfed the Internet" for Islamic sites. I found one with audio files of Adhan and Salat and Suras from the Quran. Again, my heart responded. There was no need for words.

In the next few days I found more web-sites as I read all I could about Islamic beliefs, travelling to Oxford, and London, to find books about Islam. Stripped of my prejudices, my arrogance, my belief in Western superiority, here was everything that I myself felt, and always had felt in my heart to be true: dignity, honour, trust, justice, community, truth, an awareness of God on a daily basis, the need to be self-disciplined, the spiritual way before materialism, and the recognition of how we, as individuals, are subservient to God. I marvelled at the life of Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and at the spread of Islam - at how those early Muslims, once "rough and ready" nomads, had through only the words, deeds and revelations of the Prophet, created perhaps the most civilized civilization there has ever been. I became enthralled reading about the life of the Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam), for there was something remarkable here: he seemed to represent everything I felt in my heart and my mind to be noble and civilized. In fact, he seemed to me to be the perfect human being: the perfect example to follow.

The more I discovered about Islam, the more it answered all the doubts, all the questions, of my past thirty years. It really did feel as if I had "come home" - as if I had at last found myself, as if I could see things clearly for perhaps the first time. Now, I would sit for hours listening to recordings of the Adhan and the Quran in Arabic. Truly, here - I felt - in Islam was the numinous, the sacred; the way for us to become, to behave like, civilized human beings.

Thus, my own conversion became not a question, but a duty. For I had found and accepted the truth that there was no god but Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and that Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was His Messenger.

So it was that I came, on Sunday morning, to be standing outside a Mosque with the sincere intention of converting to Islam. For nearly half an hour I hesitated - for these were the people who, twenty five or more years ago, I had been fighting, on the streets. These were the people I had swore at and had used violence against - indeed, one of my terms of imprisonment was a result of me leading a gang of skinheads in a fight against "Pakis". These were the people I had spent thirty years trying to get out of Britain. How would they react to the former leader of the neo-nazi NSM walking into "their" Mosque?

At first when I, very nervously, entered there seemed to be no one around. Out of respect, I removed my shoes and knocked on an inner door. The Imaam opened it - but he could not speak English, and I tried to say something in Arabic but the only thing that made sense was Shahadah. Soon, someone was fetched, who translated, and the Imaam embraced me. They were so pleased and so friendly - so brotherly - that it brings tears to my eyes now as I remember it, and I thank Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala that I found the true Way in the end.



Nationalism, Race and Islam:

Prior to my reversion to Islam, I had a great pride in what I regarded as my own culture, my own people, my English ancestry, and my own nation. Indeed, it is true to say that I regarded what I termed the "Aryan" peoples of the world - and the civilizations I believed they had created - as superior. Furthermore, I believed that "race" and "nation" were important, and worth fighting for and - if necessary - dying for. I also defined myself through such things - considering myself an Englishman with a great heritage.

Now, I know I am a Muslim - that is, I look to Islam, to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and His Prophet and Messenger, Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) to provide me with all the answers, the identity, I need. I define myself in terms of submission, in terms of obedience to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and His Prophet and Messenger, Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) - for my Shahadah was and is a life-long oath of obedience and loyalty to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and His Prophet and Messenger, Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam). Thus, I am duty-bound, honour-bound, to obey them. I have no choice - I do not want a choice, for as Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"It is not for the believer - man or woman - when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter, that they should have any option in their decision. For whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has indeed strayed into plain error." 33:36 Interpretation of Meaning

Thus, I now know and understand that, for a Muslim, such things as "race" and "nation" and one's ancestral culture, are not important. Indeed, they are 'Asabiyyah. As I wrote in my essay Nationalism, Race, Culture and Islam:

"Asabiyyah is a loyalty to, or a feeling of kinship with and a belonging to, some group, or grouping, distinguished as that grouping is by some criteria established by some person, or idea, or non-Islamic way. 'Asabiyyah is a dividing or division of people according to limits, or boundaries, or standards which are not Islamic. Why are they not Islamic? Because these limits, boundaries or standards do not derive from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala but instead belong to Jahilliyah, the Ages of Ignorance. In addition, 'asabiyyah demands or implies two things: first, obedience and loyalty to other than Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and such loyalty obedience is at best ignorance, and at worst a setting up of some idea, or ideal, or way, or loyalty, or group to compete with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala; second, 'asabiyyah demands or implies judging others and ourselves by other than what Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has revealed."

It is Islam which is my culture and which is sufficient for me; it is Adhab Al-Islam which shows me how to behave, in private and in public - not the traditions of my ancestors; not the so-called culture of the West. Now, all Muslims are my brothers and sisters, regardless of the colour of their skin, regardless of where they were born or who their parents were. For me, this is one of the great beauties of Islam - a source of our strength and our unity. As I wrote in another essay:

“Since reverting to Deen Al-Islam, Alhamdulillah, I accept that all Muslims, whatever "race" they may be deemed to be, are my brothers and sisters and that the only distinction we Muslims should make is between Muslims and the kuffar.

Our aim is to obey and submit to only Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala - racial separation is a Taghut which many of the kuffar, in their ignorance, see as a worthy cause, a worthy goal, just as many of these kuffar judge people according to their alleged or presumed "ethnic origin" and give their loyalty and allegiance and obedience to a cause, or some organization, or some person, who seeks to separate and judge people according to their alleged or presumed "ethnic origin".

The criteria we use to judge someone - the criteria we should use, for example, to find a good wife or husband, the criteria for friendship - is the criteria of Taqwa, of obedience to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, of being Muslim. The assumed or presumed "ethnic origin" of the person is irrelevant, as is the culture of their ancestors, as is the place of their birth.

To make things perfectly clear - I reject nationalism, racism, racial separation and the ideas and concepts which underlie them and the behaviour and attitudes which accompanies a belief in them, regarding these things as incompatible with Deen Al-Islam.” (Questions For Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt)

Narrated By Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "Allah, Tabarak wa'tala, has removed from you the pride of Jahilliyah and its boasting about ancestors. A person can be either an honourable believer or an ignoble sinner. You are sons of Adam, and Adam came from dust. Let the people cease to boast about their kin and kin-folk." Abu Dawud, Book 36, 5097

"Those who have experienced the beauty that is Al-Eeman are those who are content with Allah as their Rabb, with Al-Islam as their Way of Life, and with Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) as their Messenger and Prophet." Narrated Al-'Abbaas bin 'Abd Al-Muttalib (Shahih Muslim)

October 2009 House Negro Award Goes to...

Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,

Most of you will have heard of Malcolm X, many of you will have heard of his Islamic name of Malik Al-Shabbaz, the name he used more and more after leaving the nationalistic, racist and shirk infested Nation of Islam movement.

You might have also heard some terms he coined being used today, such was the level of his thinking, decades beyond anyone of his time that today we can still learn valuable lessons from his speeches.

One of those terms is the derogatory term of House Negro or House Nigger, and what does that mean? We'll use Malcolm's own words to explain this.



Obviously we know from the TV who are the chief house Negroes today in the world and America in particular and so inspired by the ridiculous Noble peace price given to the War monger in Chief, President Obama (previous nominees have included Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin so no surprise there) I've decided to hand out quarterly awards of my own for those who have especially helped the kuffar in their oppression of Islam in the UK.

Lets read those words of Malik al-Shabbaz again and see how he classified a house negro.

"To understand this, you have to go back to what [the] young brother here referred to as the house Negro and the field Negro — back during slavery. There was two kinds of slaves. There was the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes – they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good ’cause they ate his food — what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved their master more than the master loved himself. They would give their life to save the master’s house quicker than the master would. The house Negro, if the master said, “We got a good house here,” the house Negro would say, “Yeah, we got a good house here.” Whenever the master said “we,” he said “we.” That’s how you can tell a house Negro. If the master’s house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the master got sick, the house Negro would say, “What’s the matter, boss, we sick?” We sick! He identified himself with his master more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, “Let’s run away, let’s escape, let’s separate,” the house Negro would look at you and say, “Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?” That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a “house nigger.” And that’s what we call him today, because we’ve still got some house niggers running around here." Malik al-Shabbaz, aka Malcolm X

So who I've been thinking, who amongst the Muslims in the UK are the house niggers of today, there are too many uncle toms on the committees to mention them all, though some come close with their shopping of brothers to the Police so who else is more worthy of being our first recipient of this award and after some hard thinking I knew who is must be, that's right the award goes to... Ed Hussain!

YES ED HUSSAIN!

A man who so badly wanted to suck up to his masters in the British establishment that his name of Muhammed wasn't good enough, wasn't white enough so he abandoned his name along with his Deen and became simply Ed to his mates at the country club.

It surely can't be too long now until he is given a Knighthood and gets to go to the Palace to bow to the Queen in reality, rather than just in his writings and pick up his little shiny Christian cross medal to go with his Shiny new Car and all his other bling he gets as perks of being the biggest traitor to the Deen here in Britain.

But in the mean time, 'Ed,' here is your trophy. I didn't have enough money to buy a real one so I borrowed a picture of one from Google Images.


For those unaware, Here is some history of Ed and his fellow apostates at the Quilliam Foundation.

Having become 'radicalised' to hang around student cafes and University Islamic society handing out their magazine and growing goaty beards and talking endlessly about how all will be well when we have the Khilafa back again they realised such a policy of endless talking to themselves wasn't working and becoming disillusioned left the deviant group, Hibz but Tahrir.

Now there is nothing wrong with the idea of a Khilafa ruling over us, indeed it is obligatory and we are in sin for not enacting this rule of Allah but rather than turning to true Islam as many ex-HT members have done he instead turned to kufr, rejecting several key ideas of Islam such as the Shariah and Khilafa and embracing man-made law and democracy.

Having turned his back on Islam Ed and his buddies now get £700,000.00 per year from the British Government to support their war against Islam, to provide moral support to those who terrorise innocent brothers and sisters, to spy on fellow Muslims and generally act as the 'reasonable' face of Islam.

All so the UK government can point to them and say to the media "look, not all Muslims are against us, here is one I bought earlier and he is the best Negro servant I've ever had, when he is done writing articles supporting our wars and oppression he is going to wash my car and mow the lawn."

I must admit I have total Bara towards this man, Yes I hate his guts and pray Allah swt guides him away from the kufr he is upon and away from the kuffar he has taken as his awliya and back towards Islam.

Veneration of Saint Therese - Open Idolatry

Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters in Islam,


In case any Christians or others are reading this after Googling St Therese, well let us give you the greeting given to us for people like you by Muhammad (saws) which is 'Peace be upon those who follow righteous guidance.'

I came across this story recently in the UK press...


St Therese tours the UK

I must admit I cannot imagine a greater display of Idolatry, anything so far removed from the true message of Jesus Christ (as) than this.

Tens of thousands, quite possibly many times more will travel many miles to seek blessings from the bones of this dead woman.

Many others will keep pictures like this in their front rooms where they will venerate them, pray to them and seek help and guidance from them. I know this from personal experience having Catholic family members and their churches likewise are full of such Idolatry.

The Hindu's must be scratching their heads, wondering what happened there? When did the Christian's all convert to Hinduism in the UK?

I mean really what is the difference between seeking intercession from a Catholic (or indeed Muslim) saint and the Hindus going to their gods?

I'll tell you, nothing!

Allah tells us in Surah Fatihah, only in him can we ask others for help in such matters! Yet people disobey Allah and seek help in others. Many ignorant 'Muslims' have left the fold of Islam by copying such behaviour, doing exactly as Rasoolullah (saws) warned us,

Sahih Muslim, Book 34, Narration Number 6448:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You would tread the same path as was trodden by those before you inch by inch and step by step so much so that if they had entered into the hole of the lizard, you would follow them in this also. We said: Allah's Messenger, do you mean Jews and Christians (by your words)" those before you"? He said: Who else (than those two religious groups)?

The message of all the prophets was the same, only turn to God, not to them, not to false men and certainly not to little old ladies who although sweet and nice on the surface are calling people towards Shirk, towards the hellfire.

Man is born with a disposition to seek out and worship his creator, alone without partners, this is what in Islam we term your 'fitrah' but Shaitan, the devil is whiley old dog and will use any trick he can to turn people from the truth.

One of the easiest ways of doing this is misleading people with false visions, false miracles and then taking them into shirk and down into hell with him on the day of judgement. They remain on this shirk their whole lives as they think they are on the right path, and refuse to listen to anything of the truth because of this and Shaitan has won such people even more than his has the Hedonists who might at least repent and turn from their evil ways.

So Muslims, don't forget to bring this one up with your Catholic colleagues at work, school, college, or university and explain to them their Shirk and how they should turn towards the true message of Jesus Christ (as), which is to worship God alone, without partners - the message of Islam.

Any Catholics reading this... surely you can see this is not what Jesus (as) came to teach us? Surely you can see this no different to the idolatry of the misguided people to whom God sent prophet Abraham (as) or no different to the Hindus of today?

Assalaamu Alaykum,
Peace be upon those who follow righteous guidance,

French Gay Paedophile promoted to be Minister of State

Assalaamu Alaykum all,


Look at this face... This is Frederic Mitterrand, TV presenter, intellectual, nephew of the former socialist president and self confessed and open abuser of young children.

It's the face of the future, no not everyone in the future will look that ugly but this man represents the coming of age of the Homosexual lobby in the West, a Paedophile who openly admitted travelling to Thailand to buy young boys for sex promoted to be Minister of Culture in France. It's not even like they were ignorant of his past, he put it all in his own biography which was published in 2005.

And what an accurate and apt Cultural Minister he is, everything evil and sordid in the West shown in the face of one man.

The thing is with Sodomites is that they, like all sexual deviants, having given in to the whisperings of Shaitan once are prey to keep doing so again and again.

Keeping on sinking deeper and deeper, using their wealth, their power, their influence to drag others down and so further the Shaitanic society they represent.

This is why so many Homosexuals are also paedophiles, buggering younger and younger men until they sink into attacking children. They are already weak, they are already slaves to their desires and so slaves to Shaitan and so wish to push this upon all of us.

This has often been the allegation levelled at the Homosexual lobby, that it was homosexuality today and buggering of boys tomorrow. That they would never be happy with sex with consenting men (as evil as that is) but wanted to return to the evil times when ancient Greeks used to keep boy slaves for their amusement and here is quote directly from this evil scum...

"All these rituals of the market for youths, the slave market excited me enormously... the abundance of very attractive and immediately available young boys put me in a state of desire."

The West has always seen ancient Greek society as the pinnacle of civilisation, they copied its values, its governmental system of democracy and now its open slavery and buggery of boys.

One more reason we need to get out of here as soon as we can, but whilst we are here lets all denounce this evil man, this evil way of life that perverts the nature of man that Allah gave him and abuses those too young, too poor, too oppressed to know better or help themselves if they did.

Assalaamu Alaykum,

The Pope's having a laugh! or... People in gold plated, marble homes with stained glass windows shouldn't thrown stones!

Assalaamu Alaykum,

To the non-Muslims - peace be upon those who follow righteous guidance,

The pope was having a go at materialism and the evils of all this greed coming from the West recently whilst visiting Africa.

for those who missed it here is the story from the BBC...

BBC, Pope's visit to Africa

Now lets face it, the guy is right. Western Material is toxic spiritual rubbish. Couldn't agree more with the Pope on that one.

But in case you missed it, here is how Popey boy dressed when delivering the sermon...

Now call me a cynic here, but isn't he a little over dressed for delivering this message?

I mean, shouldn't he be a little more humble and maybe have worn something with a little less Gold thread in it?

Isn't the gold throne and gold crosses he is surrounded by a little OTT, and how seriously are we supposed to take his message of not abandoning a simple spiritual life for the materialism of the West when the man lives in this!


This place is huge! you could house half of Africa in there. I mean look at the size of the place? You can perhaps understand how the Pope is a little out of touch with reality and the true simple humble life led by the prophet Jesus Christ (upon him be peace) when the closest he gets to real people is waving from his balcony.


Look here's a picture of him waving...

Waving to all the people who have come to Worship him, this is truly sick. "Hello, come kiss my holy but you idiots, give me all your money!"

I mean as Muslims we are told by Allah in the Quran,

Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. Quran (5:82)

But this man is so far from even this level, he is on some next level of arrogance, above even the kings and presidents of the world. Where is the simple humble lifestyle of the prophets? Gone, instead we have Papal palaces and Papal thrones.

Here is the man's chair...

Quite big isn't it? Lets face it, that is one big chair. When the Christians envisage JC sitting down with his companions, do they really think he was sitting in anything like this?

No. Of-course not, but still people follow him and his corrupted faith.

And by the way, this picture of the Papal throne really doesn't do it any justice what-so-ever. You need to zoom out a little to see the full effect and the full pomp of this ridiculous setup...



LOOK AT THE SIZE OF IT!

And the man who sits on THAT chair has the cheek to talk to anybody about anything to do with morality, to tell people not to be materialistic.

You know someone living in a gold plated, marble home with stained glass windows really shouldn't be throwing stones.

This man is so far misguided, so far removed from the true simple teachings of the prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus Christ and Muhammad (peace be upon them all and all the other prophets also).

But yet people listen to him, take him as their spiritual teacher. We all see the Hindu guy selling charms as a Charlatan but give a man a gold throne and all of a sudden he is believable, I mean if he and his predecessors ripped off so many people in the past then he cant be a fraud can he?

I am sure other Christians reading this are sitting there all smug, but heay here is a picture of the residence of the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury. He isn't doing too badly out of the old simple God fearing man business is he?



Here is one of the many mansions built by the TV Evangelists in the US on the money of Christians who are told to buy their promotional materials 'and support the Lord's work!'

At least they get to marry into the bargain as well, the poor Pope gets all that cash but because of modern media he doesn't get to spend so much of it on women of ill-repute as his predecessors.

If that comment upset some catholics reading this, well this turn this off before you read the next comment... Check the link.

Bastard Pope Family History

That's right, not only did Popes have many mistresses and affairs but they also rigged the elections and got their bastard sons into the seat after them.

And yet the present occupant of the chair, lectures to the world on the need to follow a simple religious life, free of materialism whilst at the same time surrounded by Gold leaf, Silk Marble and hundreds of servants and sycophants.

Why do people trust this man when he is so obviously insincere in his character, which he shows to the world through his actions?

God / Allah says in his final revealed scripture to mankind, the Quran.

And with those who say, We are Christians, We made a covenant, but they neglected a portion of what they were reminded of, therefore We excited among them enmity and hatred to the day of resurrection; and Allah will inform them of what they did.

O followers of the Book! indeed Our Messenger has come to you making clear to you much of what you concealed of the Book and passing over much; indeed, there has come to you light and a clear Book from Allah;

With it Allah guides him who will follow His pleasure into the ways of safety and brings them out of utter darkness into light by His will and guides them to the right path.

Quran (5:14-16)

The Christians therefore reading this, being disgusted at the behaviour of their leaders should go instead look at the example of the Muslims.

Go to any village in England, any village and the first or second biggest house will be the vicarage. Even today the vicar gets a sweet deal, in this life at least (his next will be much more unpleasant).

But go to a Muslim village or community, the man usually with the most simple home is the village Imam as we don't put money before piety and we certainly don't 'sell God' and expect to get rich in this life on the proceeds, the only time an Imam is rich is if he has earned his money otherwise.

I am not trying to say Muslims are perfect but compare such examples to your Popes, your Arch-Bishops, your Millionaire Evangelicals?

Who is closer to God's true message and teachings as given to us through the example of the prophet's? the Christians or the Muslims?

Assalaamu Alaykum,

Peak Oil or... what will it be like to live within our means?

(Click on image to enlarge)

Assalaamu Alaykum all,

I love this cartoon, I use it as my desk top at work because it is a good conversation starter and gives me a chance to talk to people about what is happening in the world and a way for people to understand those events in a light hearted way that hopefully will not result in the usual blank stares when you mention topics like Peak Oil and the coming economic crash.

First of all does anyone remember back to about a year ago, just before the recession hit when the petrol got REALLY expensive, and the mainstream media started talking about peak oil issues for a change? It was a quite odd time, because all my friends were like "oh, that is the thing you keep on about" and wanted further help and explanation.

Independent -Fade to black: Is this the end of oil?

But now most people seem to have blanked it from their minds, forgotten it ever happened. Its like as bad as the recession is, it doesn't cause people to collectively forget the matter as too scary, too big a matter to deal with.

Now don't go, because your mind is now pushing you to close the page or go look at something else but in reality that is your way to cope with the biggest problem that is ever going to come mess up your life and the life of your kids, it is so big you want to pretend it isn't going to happen and so you do this...


Its probably the biggest problem mankind is going to face as a species but absolutely no one is willing to talk about it.

Recession /depression, starvation, famine, deforestation, acidification of the oceans, species extinctions, desertification, global warming, even nuclear war, o' we can talk about them but we don't want to talk about the Elephant in the room. Well I do want to talk about the elephant in the room so if you've read this far you might as well go further and finish reading the post.


The general point of todays Naseehah is this...

Our whole economy, no our whole modern civilisation is built upon Oil, well other fossil fuels also but mainly oil (I know I've mentioned this before but I cant stress this as a reason for Hijrah enough).

So this oil doesn't just get you to work and back, it gets all your food to the super market from the farmers field, it gets the lorries and trucks around that help our society run, without it we are not just going to hit a downturn, our society is going to come to a dead stop. Dead being the important word there.

Lets take the UK as our model here to explain what this means.

The UK before oil could provide enough food to feed between about 5-8million people, sometimes more. But 5-8million seems to be the stable figure. We did this by farming the land, then transporting the food to local market towns for selling and it kept the whole of pre-industrial society ticking along nicely.

Then along came Coal, all of a sudden you don't need to be near a water supply for power anymore and instead industries moved closer to where their suppliers and customers were in the cities.

Further down the line people realise you can use this coal to power other machines, not just the factories and the train comes along. The train allows for food and other goods to travel further and leads to further efficiencies in food production and a population boom.

This population boom is accelerated by oil, with cars, trucks, planes etc all now possible and all the food you eat comes from all over the world.

The oil is also used to farm the fields much more efficiently so where as in the past your field might produce X amount of grain, but needed Y to be deducted for all your manpower to give Z amount to send to market, now the X is much bigger because of all the machines and the Y is much smaller.

So the amount of food getting to market is much bigger, all thanks to oil. Oil based fertilisers are also used to boost those crops again, no oil means no oil based fertilisers.



Hope you are beginning to get the picture now, because the Elephant is starting to get upset with us for ignoring it. We need to realise this problem will never go away. NEVER.

We all live in a society which is going through massive growth in numbers and consumption of the worlds resources, all based upon a finite base. Infinite growth based upon a finite resource.

That is right. Oil is a limited resource, but what does that mean? IT MEANS IT WILL EVENTUALLY RUN OUT.


Most of you probably just jumped to position two in your mental defence strategies... You just read the statement 'it means it will eventually run out' and assumed it will be some point off in the far distance so thought "OK, it's going to go, but that is the future, that is a long time away."

Another classic defence, once the elephant is actually noticed, file it away for dealing with later.

But this is just like global warming, in that the longer we leave things the worse they become. It is not like global warming in that it cannot actually be solved.

I probably just lost a few more of you just then. "wait a minute? did he just say there is no cure? no solution?"

Those still with me here, who didn't hit the little X in the top right corner are probably in uncomfortable territory but this is the place you need to be in, you didn't run away and hide under your covers and pretend nothing is happening, you've at least got an idea that oil is going to run out and there is no cure for this problem.

Some of you might be thinking, but what about renewables? The sun hits the earth with 90,000 times more energy a day than we need. Yes that is true, but 90% of it is reflected right back out into space. So you will think OK, then 9,000 times more energy than we need in a day.

But you forget that energy is not easy to capture, it also uses plastics to make the technology to do it and plastics come from... oil.

Other renewable energy technologies still use oil to power the machines, to get the metals and other materials out of the ground to the factories, from the factories to the distribution centres and finally out to the field where they don't work particularly well and require a little man in a petrol powered van to come and fix it.

So they are a sticky plaster over a gaping wound.

So when will this oil disaster happen? Surely even if the oil is running out there is still quite a lot of it there isn't there?

Yes there is, but most of the easy to get stuff is now gone. This is the meaning of the term 'Peak Oil.' It is not the point where oil runs out, but the point where the worlds oil supply stops rising and starts falling. At that point the rising demand for oil that keeps all our towns, cities and even villages these days from starving will start to break down.

The UK and other western nations will use their military might to push on for another few years but in the end the scenes of famine and disaster we'll see from Africa, Asia and South America will come to haunt the landscapes of the West also and the western model of civilisation all based upon oil will come to an end.

The UK with its 65Million plus population will go back to only being able to support a few million, and you can imagine the scenes of the disaster, war, civil strife, starvation (and probably canibalism) that will take place when that happens. All over the world the same scenes will play out.

Harsh isn't it?

Quite depressing also, but then not really. You see every disaster is also an opportunity, an opportunity to live within our means, to live closer to the land and be free of many of the more nasty aspects of capitalist greed such as the massive pollutions we push into the environment.



In short an opportunity to live a better way, a way more in keeping with the commands of Allah!


Those people left, (for which the Muslims have to ensure we are a great a proportion as possible by being prepared) we will have to go back to farming or living in small towns, living closer to the natural base, living a life more in accordance with the life led by our ancestors.

For me that is a great thing, I don't particularly like modern life, its evil and stinking and the maybe that is why I saw the elephant in the room when everyone else didn't, but Allah has given us this great leveller against our enemies.


They've got planes, helicopter gun ships and tanks but within a short space of time they will just be rusting lumps of metal sat uselessly in fields and the Muslim lands will be free from the kuffar armies with only the apostate rulers left to deal with.

Now when is all this going to happen? Because those of you interested in Hijrah might be thinking if there is no oil, no planes flying, then really I don't want to get stuck here so maybe I need to go now.

Depends. Not a good answer I know but it might be 50 years, it might be 5 years. In truth is we don't know as it depends on a whole set of variables that are constantly changing, the demand for oil, the supply, the amount left (a state secret in many oil producing countries like Saudia), whether Allah sends any other disaster to hit whilst we are waiting for this one.

It therefore makes sense to leave as a matter or urgency, not to wait too long and when you go don't go somewhere in an even worse position like Qatar which has a couple of million people living an a desert where only a few thousand lived before, unless you are planning on going there to make more money to buy your farmland somewhere else.

The place you should be looking to make Hijrah towards should be closer to the natural economic base, agriculture and the lesser developed the better as it will then have less far to fall, even better somewhere fortified which today would cost you only £30k or a little more as they are in remote locations but in the future will cost far, far more as more and more people wake up to that damn elephant.

Hope I haven't depressed you all too much, and that like me you see the opportunities as well as the problems and that Inshallah we can all come out of this one alive and well with our families to help build a better society on the other side of the crash.

Mohammed is most popular name for baby boys in London

Assalaamu Alaykum all,

Some of the kuf newspapers were going mental over the following Story,

Mohammed is most popular name for baby boys in London

I've linked it to the Daily Telegraph version as although it is a right wing newspaper, it tends to explain things better, using more than four and five letter words, unlike the Sun, Star or Mail.

The story is basically this... In London, the West Midlands and Yorkshire, the number one boys name is Muhammad (if you count all the different spellings of the name) and that the 3rd of the boys born in the whole of the British Isles in the last year were named after our beloved Prophet (saws).


This backs up some ideas I have had when seeing the maternity units for the birth of my children, where it seems a much larger proportion than you would expect of expectant mothers are Muslim.

This is not surprising for us as Muslims, after all Rasoolullah (saws) told us to have large families to increase the size of the Ummah but it is a shock for the kuffar who just see themselves being swamped by an army of small brown babies, taking over their towns and cities.

To a certain extent this is true, we are out breeding them and out converting them with several thousand people embracing Islam per year and Muslim families having around about four Children per couple, as opposed to the national average of 1.9 per couple.

But we also know that quantity isn't that great if the quality is lacking. If many of the little Muhammad's and Abdullah's are ending up as Drug dealers and pimps, or even worse working as bankers and policemen then the numbers don't count for anything.

This is why wherever we are, whether here in the UK, elsewhere in the West, or in a Muslim land, it is massively important we never EVER give up giving Da'wah, it being such a big part of our deen to call people to Allah.

When we all engage in such activities, calling each other to Allah, improving this Ummah, that is when you see not only the quality increase but the quantity to Inshallah.

When that happens then this country will be a true Muslim nation, but until that time it will remain an obligation for us to leave whilst ever we can and stop supporting the kuffar with our numbers and wealth in their wars against Islam.

Assalaamu Alaykum,
Abu Abdillah

An observation on the UK

Assalaamu Alaykum all,

It's strange but as I continue to make plans to make Hijrah, the UK is becoming more and more closer to Islam.

The Da'wah stalls here in my home town more often than not gets a shahadah or two each month, sometimes each week and there are more and more reverts you see in the masaajid and in the community at large.

I am presently working as a HR Administrator and so have to screen application forms, and you can see the huge numbers of reverts with Muslim first names and native second names, like Yasmin Smith or Abdullah Brown (made up examples, not real people as far as I am aware). These reverts are making up about one in twenty of the younger people applying for the company I work for.


When the right wing nutcases tried recently to protest at the building of a Masjid in Harrow, London, over 2000 young brothers turned up to defend the Masjid and fight if necessary to defend Islam.

Subhanallah, think about that... Could we imagine such scenes only a few years ago? No, it is almost unimaginable and shows that Islam is coming back around the world. Look at the black Shahadah banner flying from the lines of the Muslims, doesn't it fill your heart with Imaan to see such scenes?

In Birmingham, Luton, and all over London, whenever the kuffar have been able to muster a hundred or so skin heads and football hooligans to cause trouble and try to attack the Muslims, the Muslims have stood up and fought back.

Another thing you will see is increasing numbers of brothers forgetting the cultural jahiliyyah of their parents and embracing Islam in a much fuller more comprehensive fashion, their mothers and aunties may cry out "how will you find a wife with that big beard on your face?"

But the brothers respond, "if the sister is bothered by this, I wouldn't want to marry her anyway."


The sisters the same, 20 years ago only a small minority wore hijab, now the majority do and a large number of them are wearing the Niqab also mashallah and showing Islam on the outside.

Both brothers and sisters are forgetting the cultural weddings and the masaajid are getting requests to hold weddings and walimas in the masjid, a small affair for the Muslims not the huge jahil weddings with the bollywood and free-mixing. Yes the good weddings are still in a minority but the community is changing, and it is changing for the better every year, every month it seems you see some new sign of Islam in the community.

Islam is both inner and outer and yes I know many of these newly practicing brothers and sisters are lacking in adhab and sometimes a little hizbi in their mentality but still lets make the 70 excuses for them required in our deen, many of them are only new to practicing so lets kindly advise them and help them inshallah to a better, fuller appreciation of our deen, many of us were in their position not long ago.

Yes, Islam is coming back, with the Kuffar on the back foot in their war against Islam, openly admitting they are losing the War in Afghanistan but still whilst the fight is on we are obliged to leave this land and migrate to one where we are able to help the deen without having to worry about the midnight knock on the door.

Look at this kuf soldier, he is crying. He is crying not because he is making Tawbah to Allah like we do, especially during this month of Ramadhan, but out of the 'shock and awe' of seeing the Muslims slaughter his comrades in arms, they are fighting for narrow nationalistic concerns, money and career and for their democracy and other kufr ideals but yet they are afraid to die and do hate to lose. Where as for the Muslims who fight in the correct cause, we either win the battle or are shaheed, we win or we win. There is no loss for the Muslims.

Despite all this my intention for Hijrah remains firm, if the troops of this country are still occupying the Muslim lands and the government supporting the kufr their I cannot remain here and keep increasing the numbers of this land, every £ I give in tax helps them where as at least if I was out of this land then this wouldn't be the case.

The law here has still not changed in regards to autopsies, so I still don't want my wife, children or indeed myself being cut up and dissected upon our deaths, feeling each cut like we were alive.

And the environmental and economic disasters are still likely to be coming soon, soon it will not even be possible to leave when the oil prices start to rise to such rates that only the very rich can fly.

So yes we are still leaving, despite all the good signs of the Islamic revival in the UK but whilst ever we are here then we will continue to work to establish Islam, just as we would wherever we were living and who knows, maybe we'll just end up doing enough to bring this country to Islam as a whole system and we can end up stopping here anyway and we'll get the reward of the one who does Hijrah for our intention and the reward of the one who does Da'wah and establishes the deen.

World's oldest Bible, the Codex Sinaiticus

Assalaamu Alaykum all,

For any Christians who might read this, peace be upon those who follow righteous guidance (the greeting our prophet told us to use with the people of the book, the Jews and the Christians)

Many brothers and sisters who come across Christians on a regular basis, either in their lives or in Da'wah activities might have heard them mention in response to Muslim allegations of the Bible being corrupted and from differing, contradictory manuscripts, that there is an old version of the Bible that has been found and so therefore this allegations are incorrect and can no longer be used.

So lets examine this claim, regarding this 'bible,' the world's oldest and see if it does indeed hold true that this disproves the claims of Islamic scholars on the Bible, that it is from contradictory and fragmented sources and therefore cannot be relied upon for guidance and salvation.

The Codex Sinaiticus is indeed very old, much older than any other Bible, and was set down sometime around or just before 350 CE. (So could easily be corrupted before then anyway)

Like the Bible, it is a collection of earlier works, scrolls which were copied from other scrolls, copied from other scrolls, etc, etc, going back 300 years to the time of Jesus Christ (upon him be peace), with no recorded chain of narration, i.e you don't know who passed on the information and indeed whether they were reliable or liars, or people with bad memories etc.

However this is where the similarity ends, and where the claims of the Christians to hold an 'original Bible' come seriously unstuck.

As already mentioned, the Codex Sinaiticus comes from the time of about 350CE, the time the Bible was also being put down but contains serious differences with the modern Bible, whole different books added which were stuck out by the people who put together the Bible.

So rather than having the world's oldest Bible, what the Christians really have is yet another version of the Bible, to put alongside their 5600 scraps and scrolls, another set of more contractions to sort through and decide whether to keep or discard from their book. The Bible and the Codex seem to be rival manuscripts, not at all similar in the detail.

'The Shepherd of Hermas,' a book supposedly from the 2ND century CE is included in the Codex, but this is struck out of later Bibles. One whole section, are the Christians gong to restore this book now? even though they struck it out for disagreeing with their doctrine later?

The wording of the lord's prayer is different once again, from the 5600 fragments and scrolls which exist, as well as now the codex the Christians don't even have an agreed upon version of the Lord's prayer, the only line all versions agree upon is "Our Father who art in heaven," every line there after being up for dispute and argument.

Yet this book full of contradictions, where the last words that Jesus is supposed to have spoken is also up for dispute when he was supposedly on the Cross, and even the modern Bible has two different version of his last words, is held up as the word of God! As if the almighty creator of the heavens and the earth makes mistakes in what the Christians consider to be his last guidance to mankind.


How can they possibly compare such a book to the Quran? Unchanged and unchangeable by the hands of man. How can the Muslims let such a claim to go unchallenged?

Could Muslims imagine following a Quran, where we were not even sure of the wording of al-Fatihah? Never mind the rest of the book.

This is what the Christians ask you to follow, this book, full of flaws and contradictions, lies and mistakes which they pass off as the word of Allah, blaspheming against him as if he was unable to preserve his word if he wished it.

So next time the Christians tell you about this oldest bible they have found be ready, challenge them, don't let them keep telling people these lies.

Remember, the codex differs in the text in each book and in the books included, the codex is therefore not a world's oldest bible, but a different version of the bible, a rival to the bible, with different wordings and meanings to it but just as flawed and contradictory as later Bibles.

The codex itself is contradictory, both to itself and to the later Bibles used today, so in fact rather than destroying only reinforces our argument of the Bible being corrupted and from differing and contradictory texts.

Explain to the Christians the problems with the Bible, whether it be the codex or modern version, that these contradictions show this book is not protected by Allah, unlike the Quran, that it therefore cannot be the word of almighty Allah as Allah does not lie, nor does he make mistakes.

Finally call them to Allah, show them the Quran, a book unchanged for 1400 years, a book that has no flaws and no contradictions and challenge them, challenge them by saying "if I can prove to you that the Bible has contradictions and flaws, will you agree with me it is not from God? and if you can prove to me the Quran has one single flaw or contradiction it is not from God?"

Get them to agree to this challenge, don't be afraid, the Quran has no flaws and no Christian out of the hundreds I have spoken to has ever, EVER been able to produce one. Whereas the bible is so full of flaws it is easy to show them the errors and problems with it.

Once you have shown them the Bible is flawed and contradictory, whereas the Quran has been preserved without contradictions and flaws then ask them which is truly God's word? which should be followed therefore and relied upon for guidance so we can be saved?
