IF WE REPENT……. If Muslims repent and return to the fold of the Deen, they are assured of victory by the Qur’aan: “Soon will your Rabb destroy your enemies and make you the rulers in the earth. Then, He will watch how you behave.” (Surah A’raaf) THREE DUAS “Three duas are readily accepted. There is no doubt in it. The dua of the father (for his children); the dua of the musaafir and the dua of the mazloom.” (Hadith) CHANNEL OF FASAAD Take a look at the following itinerary and wonder of the state of Deeni fitnah and fasaad (corruption and moral degeneration) which the operators of a radio station dubbed Channel Islam, are creating in the community. (1) The Radio Molvi of the channel of corruption, and his wife left Johannesburg by air on a Friday to attend a glorified picnic arranged in the launching of his latest CD. (2) They stayed at the house of a Maulana Saheb in Pietermaritzburg. However, the Maulana Saheb did not attend the western dinner arranged for the Molvi of channel corruption. The Maulana Saheb will, ofcourse, know the reasons for his non-participation in the sumptuous kuffaar style dinner. . (3) Dinner (7 course meal) at the YMCA Hall (Midlands Indoor sport centre). Admission R100 per person.
There is no need to comment on the futility, evil and corruption of picnics and braais, especially those organized in the name of islam for pecuniary, worldly and nafsaani motives. May Allah Ta’ala save this flundering and degenerate Ummah from further sinking into the quagmire created by the ulama-e-soo’ We are truly living in the era about which Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “A time will dawn when the worst of creation on the surface of the earth will be the ulama …” CRITICIZING THE PREDECESSORS “It is indeed sheer stupidity to criticize any of the Mutaqaddimeen servants of the Deen. (The Mutaqaddimeen are the illustrious Fuqaha of the first two centuries of the Islamic era.) Such criticism is like finding fault with superbably baked bread. It is very simple to criticize. But to render the services of the Mutaqaddimeen is entirely another matter. If anyone should attempt to do what they had presented, he will then understand the reality (of his stupidity and the reality of their yeoman services). Today, when a slight problem pertaining to a new development arises, not even one aspect of it can be solved satisfactorily. But the illustrious predecessors had solved and formulated tens of thousands of masaail.” The dearth of true Ilm-e-Deen, the shallowness in understanding and the superficiality of academic knowledge in this age bear testimony to what Hakimul Ummat (rahmatullah alayh) says above. In the endeavour to formulate a fatwa on any new development nowadays, ‘academies’ are established; national and international conferences are organized; millions of dollars are squandered in traveling, hotel expenses, etc. and in setting up these futile ‘fiqh academies’ and conferences of ostentation. Scholars from different countries jet in to participate in the conferences of mockery and futility. Five star hotel accommodation is arranged for the ‘delegates’ and ‘scholars’. Their only function at the conferences is to present a ‘paper’ on a mas’alah and to ostentatiously ‘discuss’ the issue for a day or two. Much of the time is squandered in devouring ‘20 course’ meals, welcoming speeches and sight-seeing. All this at public expense at a time when the Ummah is wallowing in grinding poverty and misery. Yet these ulama of the world find the leisure and pleasure for such academies and conferences of futility and show. After all the noise, then too they fail to issue a proper ruling based on the Principles of the Shariah. They mouth their personal opinions and issue their ‘fatwa’ as if it is part of Wahi (Divine Revelation). Regardless of any modern or new development, be it in any sphere of life, thorough research by some Ulama-e-Haqq in the privacy of their Madaaris, homes or libraries is adequate for the formulation of the correct Rulings based strictly on the Principles of the Shariah as expounded and employed by the illustrious Fuqaha of the Khairul Quroon era. Inspite of the modern day ‘scholars’ of the ‘academies’ and ‘conferences’ having set themselves up as Mujtahideen, not a single one of them is independent of the works of the Aimmah-e-Mujtahideen. Every scholar and Aalim is totally reliant on the Kutub of the Mathaahib, even the Salafis who have an inveterate aversion for the Salf-e-Saaliheen, the Exponents of Taqleed. No one and no scholar can speak on any new development in Shar’i terms without being constrained to make reference to the Works of our illustrious Predecessors, the Aimmah Mujtahideen. Simple issues such as banking, modern medical practices, test-tube babies, abortion, so-called Muslim Personal law issues, etc., remain insoluble inspite of years of discussion, conferences. The more they deliberate, the more intractable become the issues. The true Ulama have departed from the world and the Janaazah of Ilm is on the move to the Qabrustaan. Today is the age of the Juhala (Ignoramuses). According to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) a time will dawn on us when the ignorant will turn to the ignoramuses for the acquisition of fataawa (rulings on Shar’i matters). The muftis of ignorance will be astray and lead others astray into deviation (dhalaal). An example of such jahaalah is the ‘fatwas’ emerging from places like Egypt. Riba, baatil and kufr are all declared permissible on the basis of fallacious interpretation. A concerned Muslim lady writes: “There are many wrongs taking place at the radio stations. Ladies who phone in have a bad habit. To entice the males they intersperse their conversation with silly and stupid mumblings designed to attract, such as ‘mm -mm– mm’. Everyone can understand the motive of a female who makes such ridiculous sounds which according to the Hadith are zina of the tongue motivated by zina of the heart. The matter of woman’s voice is out of control. Maulanas speak freely when interviewing women in what is called ‘talk shows’. It is truly a sad state of affairs as it has greatly harmed the morals of people. The lady who hosts the children’s program cackles at times with laughter which is designed to allure males. At times the voices of the ladies are deliberately tenderized. Everyone knows why. There is no secret to fathom here. One irate listener, a male, phoned in and criticized the lewd manner in which the ladies were speaking to the male hosts. He complained of the shameless and ‘open’ manner in which they spoke to the males. The word ‘open’ in fact is not correct. They speak in a calculated manner to attract and allure the men. But the mufti who was speaking did not respond to the criticism. Another thing which I find objectionable and un-Islamic on the radio is that the announcer, whether he happens to be a layman or a Maulana, addresses people by saying “Broer”. This type of talk detracts from the dignity which an Islamic radio should have. (The question of dignity does not arise with a shaitaani radio — The Majlis) Also, highly objectionable is that the announcer whether he be a Maulana, Haafiz or a layman, begins the programme in an offensive manner by saying: “Let’s kick off” or “Kick off the show”. (The degree of kufrization of these ulama-e-soo’ can be gauged from their aping the ways of the kuffaar. Rasulullah– sallallahu alayhi wasallam—said: “He who imitates a people, becomes of them” — The Majlis) Besides this, there are many other wrongs. Do make dua for us.” Continued on page 11 TAWAKKUL AND RIZQ “If you had to adopt tawakkul (trust) on Allah in the proper meaning of tawakkul, then He will bestow rizq (sustenance) to you in the same way as the birds are being fed. They emerge (from their nests) in the morning hungry and they return in the evening satiated.” (Hadith) NAKED IN QIYAAMAH “There will be many women who were clothed in this world but who will be naked in the Aakhirah.” (Hadith) These will be the women who wear transparent garb, tight-fitting provocative dress, dress with revealing slits , etc. |
