@marx was right

[Qur'an 3:119] ...But when they are alone, they bite the tips of their fingers at you in rage. Say: "Perish in your rage. Certainly, Allah knows what is in the breasts (all the secrets)."

[Qur'an 8:30] And (remember) when the disbelievers plotted against you to imprison you, or to kill you, or to get you out (from your home); they were plotting and Allah too was planning, and Allah is the Best of the planners.

[Qur'an 3:120] ...But if you remain patient and become Al-Muttaqun (the pious), not the least harm will their cunning do to you. Surely, Allah surrounds all that they do.

[Qur'an 4:76] ...Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaitan (Satan).

[Qur'an 3:127] That He might cut off a part of those who disbelieve, or expose them to infamy, so that they retire frustrated.

General Discussion / Profits for the Believers

« on: May 22, 2018, 11:11:31 PM »

In the Name of Allah, Ar-Rahmaan (The Most Gracious), Ar-Raheem (The Most Merciful)

All praise is due to Allah, alone, the Lord of all that exists, and may His peace and blessings descend upon His Noble Slave and Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, his family, his companions (may Allah be pleased with all of them), and all of those who follow him in creed and righteous manners until the Final Hour is established.

Verily, the Best Speech is the Speech of Allah, the Glourious Qur'aan and the best guidance is the guidance contained within the Sunnah of His Slave and Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.

As to what proceeds:

Allah says,

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And remind for verily, the reminding profits the believers. [51:55]

As of a few minutes ago, I came across a clip from a longer lecture by the Scholar from Egypt, Muhammad Sa'eed Raslan, may Allah preserve him in which a powerful reminder was contained therein, which caused me to reflect upon the foolishness I have engaged in in this forum with @CumSavorer4385 @marx was right @BabyShark and @Igognito

The lecture in question:

(POWERFUL) A Message To The Muslim Ummah || Shaykh Raslan - YouTube

In particular the statement that has been translated into English,

Verily, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has prohibited you from [violating the] honor [of people]. And you know well what the masses of Muslims have deteriorated into - of weakness and corruption, of violating the honor [of people] and the spreading of obscenities which was brought by the Information Revolution. And the Muslims have become directed by the desires of the disbelievers. And the Muslim youth, excet those upon whom Allah had mercy, have become addicted to the unlawful - taking narcotics, drugs and intoxicants. Mindless amusement and frivolity, lurching in immorality...

So I ask Allah, publically, in this blessed month of Ramadhaan to forgive me and the Muslims everywhere who have fallen into this sort of "Mindless amusement and frivolity..." and from being "directed by the desires of the disbelievers" and reducing to their lowly level "lurching in immorality" in forums and chats that contain no benefit for those who believe in Allah, His Messenger and the Final Hour.

As for the violating of the honor of people, then I am guilty of crossing the boundaries established by the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم in this forum as is evident (and by this I mean the honor of the Muslims by way of my display of bad ettiquette, as for the afore mentioned users, then their condition and beliefs remain deplorable). This is inspite of the perception of the disbelievers themselves and what they think. I am posting this only out of fear of Allah, as He, The Most High says,

O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islam), Allah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allah, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower. [5:54]

With this post, I intend to identify and refute my own flaw in reducing to the lowly manner of the afore mentioned individuals in this forum, as this is not from the manners of a Muslim. I do not retract any of my statements concerning the superiority of Islam over their ideologies and of the Muslims over them. The only thing I publically regret, again, is stooping to their lowly level and incompetence by way of mockery and foul speech during this blessed month of Ramadhaan.

Allah says,

Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity. [60:8]

And,

O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah and be just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do. [5:8]

And with Allah alone is the ultimate success to be found.

General Discussion / How Marx turned Muslim

How Marx turned Muslim

Not ancient, but modern: John Gray argues that Islamist militants have Western roots
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/how-marx-turned-muslim-185940.html

Some years ago -- just over a dozen, to be exact -- there was a good deal of talk about the collision of East and West. In the media and academy, the Cold War was routinely described as a clash between western liberal democracy and something else (Russian despotism, perhaps) that was definitely not western. In fact, the communist system from Lenin to Gorbachev was one of several attempts to turn Russia into a western society that the country had experienced since Peter the Great.

Soviet Marxism did not spring from an Orthodox monastery. It was one of the finest flowers of the European Enlightenment. Equally, the USSR was nothing if not an Enlightenment regime. The Soviet state was the vehicle of a westernising project from start to finish. The Cold War was a family quarrel among western ideologies, in which rival versions of political universalism struggled for hegemony.

Today, we are watching a rerun of that uncomprehending struggle. Of course, much has changed. Unlike communism, political Islam does not purport to be secular. For that reason alone, it is a puzzle for the many who still hold to the atavistic 19th-century faith that secularisation is the wave of the future. But the view that something called "the West" is under attack from an alien enemy is as mistaken now as it was in the Cold War.

Islamic fundamentalism is not an indigenous growth. It is an exotic hybrid, bred from the encounter of sections of the Islamic intelligentsia with radical western ideologies. In A Fury for God, Malise Ruthven shows that Sayyid Qutb, an Egyptian executed after imprisonment in 1966 and arguably the most influential ideologue of radical Islam, incorporated many elements derived from European ideology into his thinking. For example, the idea of a revolutionary vanguard of militant believers does not have an Islamic pedigree. It is "a concept imported from Europe, through a lineage that stretches back to the Jacobins, through the Bolsheviks and latter-day Marxist guerrillas such as the Baader-Meinhof gang".

In a brilliantly illuminating and arrestingly readable analysis, Ruthven demonstrates the close affinities between radical Islamist thought and the vanguard of modernist and postmodern thinking in the West. The inspiration for Qutb's thought is not so much the Koran, but the current of western philosophy embodied in thinkers such as Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and Heidegger. Qutb's thought -- the blueprint for all subsequent radical Islamist political theology -- is as much a response to 20th-century Europe's experience of "the death of God" as to anything in the Islamic tradition. Qutbism is in no way traditional. Like all fundamentalist ideology, it is unmistakeably modern.

Political Islam emerged partly from an encounter with western thought, but also from revulsion against the regimes founded in Egypt and elsewhere in the aftermath of European colonialism. In Jihad, Gilles Keppel argues al-Qa'ida turned to global terrorism because, like fundamentalist groups in other countries, it has failed to achieve its revolutionary goals on home territory. In a magisterial study of the rise and decline of political Islam, Keppel maintains that Islamist movements have never gained sufficient support to produce a sustainable alternative to democracy. He argues compellingly that the failed Khomeinist revolution in Iran gained much early support from western-educated Marxists "projecting the messianic expectations of communists and Third World Peoples on to revolutionary Shiism".

The aspirations of these westernising radicals were defeated when Khomeini set about constructing a theocratic regime. That regime proved highly repressive, but -- if we credit recent reports of pro-western demonstrations -- it failed to eradicate the yearning for a more pluralist government.

The political failures of radical Islam in Iran and elsewhere leads Keppel to conclude that "the Islamist movement will have much difficulty in reversing its trail of decline". Here he may be optimistic. As he notes in his analysis of the Saudi regime, a major source of Islamist strength comes from the growing numbers of dislocated young men in the Gulf. The Gulf States are rentier economies, dependent on a single depleting resource to sustain exploding populations. Fuelled by an insoluble Malthusian dilemma, Islamist movements may well gain enough momentum to overturn pro-western regimes. The likely outcome is chronic instability for the region.

In the first and last chapters of The Clash of Fundamentalisms, a hastily assembled collection of autobiographical vignettes and commentaries on Islamic themes, Tariq Ali writes that he is not a believer. The veteran leftist need not be taken literally. What he means is that he has rejected Islam for another faith: a rather crude version of Enlightenment humanism.

The Clash of Fundamentalisms is well worth reading, if only because it shows that the harshest critics of fundamentalism are often exponents of a rival fundamentalism. Tariq Ali performs a valuable service by reminding us that Islam was once a tolerant and pluralist religion, more intellectually advanced than anything Christendom had to offer. Ironically, though, he seems to pine not for the complex culture that Islam once animated, but for that monument to Enlightenment fundamentalism, the former Soviet Union.

Here Ali unwittingly testifies to an important truth. A common error of western commentators who seek to interpret Islamism sympathetically is to view it as a form of localised resistance to globalisation. In fact, Islamism is also a universalist political project. Along with neo-liberals and Marxists, Islamists are participants in a dispute about how the world as whole is to be governed. None is ready to entertain the possibility that it should always contain a diversity of regimes. On this point, they differ from "non-western" traditions of thinking in India, China and Japan, which are much more restrained in making universal claims.

In their unshakeable faith that one way of living is best for all humankind, the chief protagonists in the dispute about political Islam belong to a way of thinking that is quintessentially western. As in Cold War times, we are led to believe we are locked in a clash of civilisations: "the West" against the rest. In truth, the ideologues of political Islam are western voices, no less than Marx or Hayek. The struggle with radical Islam is yet another western family quarrel.

General Discussion / References: "Communism" - Encyclopedia Judaica, Vol 5, Pg 91 (2nd Ed)

COMMUNISM

The international revolutionary Marxist movement that evolved under *Lenin’s leadership from the Bolshevik faction (created in 1903 in the Russian Social Democratic Party) to become the ruling party of Russia after the October Revolution in 1917 and created the Communist International (Comintern) in 1919. The Communist movement and ideology played an important part in Jewish life, particularly in the 1920s, 1930s, and during and after World War II. Violent polemics raged between Jewish Communists and Zionists in all countries until the disenchantment with the anti-Jewish policies of *Stalin in his last years and, after his death, with the antisemitic quality of the treatment of Jews and Jewish life in the U.S.S.R., as well as the increasingly violent anti-Israel stand of Moscow in the Arab-Israel conflict.

Individual Jews played an important role in the early stages of Bolshevism and the Soviet regime. These Jews were mostly confirmed assimilationists who adopted their party’s concept of the total disappearance of Jewish identity under advanced capitalism and socialism. They thus opposed the existence of separate Jewish workers’ movements, particularly the *Bund and Socialist Zionism. The great attraction of communism among Russian, and later also Western, Jewry emerged only with the establishment of the Soviet regime in Russia. The mere fact that during the civil war in Russia following the October 1917 Revolution the counterrevolutionary forces were violently antisemitic, shedding Jewish blood in pogroms on an unprecedented scale, drove the bulk of Russian Jewish youth into the ranks of the Bolshevik regime. During Lenin’s rule, the NEP (“new economic policy”), and the years preced- ing Stalin’s personal dictatorship and the great purges of the 1930s, a dichotomy of Jewish life evolved in the Soviet Union and was greatly attractive to both assimilationist and secular Yiddish-oriented Jews outside Russia. On the one hand, Russian Jews enjoyed the opportunities of immense geographical and social mobility, leaving behind the townlets of the *Pale of Settlement and occupying many responsible positions in all branches of the party and state machinery at the central and local seats of power. On the other, a secular educational and cultural network in Yiddish and an economic and administrative framework of Jewish life, including agricultural settlement and Jewish local and regional “Soviets,” were officially established and fostered, culminating in the mid-1930s in the creation of the Jewish Autonomous Region in the Far East (*Birobidzhan). Many Jews the world over therefore regarded the Soviet concept of the solution to the “Jewish question” as an intrinsic positive approach with the main options open for various Jewish trends – assimilation or preservation of Jewish (secular) identity and even Jewish territorialism and embryonic Jewish statehood.

During this period the position of world Jewry markedly deteriorated because of the severe economic and political crises in Palestine and the growing trend of oppressive antisemitism in the rest of Eastern Europe, Nazi and fascist influence in Central and Western Europe, and the economic crisis in the United States. Communism and support of the Soviet Union thus seemed to many Jews to be the only alternative, and Communist trends became widespread in virtually all Jewish communities. In some countries Jews became the leading element in the legal and illegal Communist parties and in some cases were even instructed by the Communist International to change their Jewish-sounding names and pose as non-Jews, in order not to confirm right-wing propaganda that presented Communism as an alien, Jewish conspiracy (e.g., the Polish slogan against “Żydo-Komuna” and the Nazi reiteration against “Jewish Bolshevism,” etc.). Initially, the Stalin-*Trotsky controversy did not affect the attraction of Communism to Jews, though a number of intellectual Jewish Communists tended more toward Trotsky’s consistent internationalism than to Stalin’s concept of building “Socialism in one country” and subjecting the interests of the international working class to the changing tactical interests of the Soviet Union. The facts about the gradual liquidation of the Yiddish cultural and educational network and the stifling of the Birobidzhan experiment in the late 1930s did not immediately reach the Jewish public outside the Soviet Union. In addition, only a minority of Jewish Communists condemned the Comintern-directed policy at the end of the 1930s that branded any form of non-Communist Socialism as “social fascism” and the main enemy of the revolution, while simultaneously seeking cooperation with German Nazism. Even the Molotov- Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939 was a shock to only a minority of Jewish Communists (except confirmed oppositionists, mainly of the Trotskyite “Fourth International”). When World War II broke out in 1939, most Jewish Communists defended the Soviet anti-Western-flavored neutrality. But from June 1941, when Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union and the Communists in occupied Europe excelled in anti-Nazi resistance, and particularly after the war, when the Soviet Union actively supported the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, Jewish Communists the world over achieved the highest degree of inner contentment and intellectual harmony in the whole history of the Communist movement.

The relatively abrupt disenchantment began in the late 1940s and the beginning of the 1950s, when Soviet policy toward the State of Israel gradually reversed from support to hostility and the anti-*Cosmopolitan campaign, the *Slanský Trials in Czechoslovakia, and the *Doctors’ Plot in Moscow revealed the antisemitic character of the Soviet regime in Stalin’s last years. The disclosures, in 1956–57, of the brutal liquidation of all Jewish institutions and the judicial murder of most Yiddish writers and artists in the “black years” (1948–53), the growing Soviet-Arab cooperation against Israel, and the anti-Jewish policy of the Khrushchev and post-Khrushchev period, which culminated in the violent “anti-Zionist” and anti-Israel campaign after the *Six-Day War and the Leningrad Trial of 1970, rendered Jewish disenchantment with Soviet-style Communism almost complete. The *New Left groups that emerged in the later 1960s and enjoyed heavy support from Jewish youth, particularly in the U.S., France, and Germany, were not Soviet-oriented. [Binyamin Eliav]

General Discussion / The Superiority of Islam

« on: May 10, 2018, 11:26:53 PM »

In the Name of Allaah, Ar-Rahman (The Most Gracious), Ar-Raheem (The Most Merciful)

All praise and worship is for Allaah alone, and may His peace and blessings be upon his Messenger, his family, his companions and all those who follow them in piety and righteousness until the Final Hour is established, as to what proceeds:

Allah, the Most High, Says (What has been interpreted into the English language from Dr. Muhsin Khan and Taqqiuddin Al-Hilali):

It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) hate (it). [9:33]

Allah, the Most High, Says in the Verse prior to the one above:

They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allah's Light (with which Muhammad has been sent - Islamic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kafirun (disbelievers) hate (it).

"With their mouths" means by way of lying and falsifying the truth of the religion, or by making noise over the recitation of the Qur'aan.

As can be seen in the following Verse:

And those who disbelieve say: "Listen not to this Quran, and make noise in the midst of its (recitation) that you may overcome." [41:26]

And from the means of lying and deception, Allah says:

And a party of the people of the Scripture say: "Believe in the morning in that which is revealed to the believers (Muslims), and reject it at the end of the day, so that they may turn back. [3:72]

Such as the false and deviant scholars and the fake ex-Muslims who are hellbent on "exposing" Islam, when they themselves are exposed to the believers before their plot, as Allah says (from the general understanding of the verse):

And they (disbelievers) plotted, and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best of the planners. [3:54]

And:

And verily, among them is a party who distort the Book with their tongues (as they read), so that you may think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book, and they say: "This is from Allah," but it is not from Allah; and they speak a lie against Allah while they know it. [3:78]

And:

Look, how they invent a lie against Allah, and enough is that as a manifest sin. [4:50]

No matter what you respond with, it has been refuted as falsehood, and your affair in this life has been exposed as Allah says:

And We send not the Messengers except as giver of glad tidings and warners. But those who disbelieve, dispute with false argument, in order to refute the truth thereby. And they treat My Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and that with which they are warned, as jest and mockery! [18:56]

So all of those who choose the disposition of opposition, your affair in this life is known to the believers, as Allah says:

Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe. [2:6]

And:

And had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith but he clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his description is the description of a dog: if you drive him away, he lolls his tongue out, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls his tongue out. Such is the description of the people who reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect. [7:176]

And:

And surely, We have created many of the jinns and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones. [7:179]

And:

And the example of those who disbelieve, is as that of him who shouts to the (flock of sheep) that hears nothing but calls and cries. (They are) deaf, dumb and blind. So they do not understand. [2:171]

And the predictable response of the disbeliever is also known, as Allah says:

Verily! (During the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed. And whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery); And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting; And when they saw them, they said: "Verily! These have indeed gone astray!" But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers). But this Day (the Day of Resurrection) those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers [83:29-34]

So the matter has been settled.

The Qur'an does not support any other religion as truth whatsoever (particularly Christians who think that Allah has vouched for Christianity), as Allah says:

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. [3:85]

So:

...Say: "Perish in your rage. Certainly, Allah knows what is in the breasts (all the secrets)." [3:119]

And to bring it back to one of the current scholars of Islam, Shaykh Muhammad Sa'eed Raslan, may Allah preserve him, his lecture will illuminate the reality of the current state of affairs and firmly establish Islam as the superior religion and way of life over all other paths.

And regardless of the path you choose, Allah says:

Do they seek other than the religion of Allah (the true Islamic Monotheism worshipping none but Allah Alone), while to Him submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly. And to Him shall they all be returned. [3:83]

Whether you believe or disbelieve is irrelevant, you are a slave of Allah, willingly or unwillingly, Allah says:

Verily, Allah! Unto Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, He gives life and He causes death. And besides Allah you have neither any Wali (protector or guardian) nor any helper. [9:116]

Watch it or not, take heed or not, it doesn't matter:

Say: "Who is he who can protect you from Allah if He intends to harm you, or intends mercy on you?" And they will not find, besides Allah, for themselves any Wali (protector, supporter, etc.) or any helper. [33:17]

Allah says:

Say (O Muhammad): "Verily, my Salat (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). [6:162]

And:

Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Quran and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

And:

Say (O Muslims), "We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Musa (Moses) and 'Iesa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)." [2:136]

...say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims." [3:64]

Whatever is correct is from Allah and any errors are from my own hand.
Alhamdulillaahi Rabbil'Alaameen
