“Then it occurred to them that it would be in their interest to imprison for a time, even after they were convinced of his innocence and saw the proofs of his truth, honesty and chastity.” The issue concerning Moazzam Begg is well known to everyone. Moazzam’s crime wasn’t that he allegedly sent an electric generator to someone in Syria or that he allegedly carried out some fitness training whilst out there, Moazzam’s crime was that he had campaigned tirelessly against injustices of rendition, arbitrary detention and torture, as well as covert operations and the complicit involvement of nation states in…
وَإِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ مِنْهُ بَدَا بِلَا كَيْفِيَّةٍ قَوْلًا وَأَنْزَلَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَحْيًا وَصَدَّقَهُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَقًّا وَأَيْقَنُوا أَنَّهُ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِالْحَقِيقَةِ لَيْسَ بِمَخْلُوقٍ كَكَلَامِ الْبَرِيَّةِ . فَمَنْ سَمِعَهُ فَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ كَلَامُ الْبَشَرِ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ وَقَدْ ذَمَّهُ اللَّهُ وَعَابَهُ وَأَوْعَدَهُ بِسَقَرَ حَيْثُ قَالَ تَعَالَى سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ فَلَمَّا أَوْعَدَ اللَّهُ بِسَقَرَ لِمَنْ قَالَ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ عَلِمْنَا وَأَيْقَنَّا أَنَّهُ قَوْلُ خَالِقِ الْبَشَرِ وَلَا يُشْبِهُ قَوْلَ الْبَشَرِ The Qur’ān is the word of Allāh. It originated from him as articulated speech in a manner unknown to us. Allāh revealed it to His Prophet (Ṣallāhu ‘alayhi wa salam)…
The advent of modern technology has provided an unprecedented platform for individuals and groups to manufacture and spread false information about Islam on a large scale. This phenomenon is carried out by both members of the faith and others who are open adversaries of Islam. Whilst the latter group is less successful in its attempts to penetrate and circulate false teachings among Muslims, the former for a long time, has had almost total success with very little opposition. Though there is a small but growing circle of Muslims ever cautious and vigilant, aware of the dangers of false teachings and…
وَكُلُّ دَعْوَى النُّبُوَّةِ بَعْدَهُ فَغَيٌّ وَهَوًى All claims to prophethood after him are false (ghayy) and fanciful (hawa) To reiterate the previous point, believing in the Prophet (Ṣallāhu ‘alayhi wa salam) entails believing that he (Ṣallāhu ‘alayhi wa salam) is the seal of the prophets. This means that any claim of prophecy after him is false. This is what the author alluded to in this statement. Whoever claims prophethood, or that he receives revelation, is an outright liar and deviant. If he was a Muslim, he would be considered an apostate as he has rejected something fundamental from the religion,…
وَأَنَّهُخَاتَمُالْأَنْبِيَاءِوَإِمَامُالْأَتْقِيَاءِوَسَيِّدُالْمُرْسَلِينَوَحَبِيبُرَبِّالْعَالَمِينَ And he is the seal of the prophets. He is the Leader (imam) of the Pious. He is Chief of the Messengers. He is very dear to the Lord of the Worlds. As mentioned in the preceding point, the belief that the Prophet (Ṣallāhu ‘alayhi wa salam) is the seal of the Messengers is part of the fundamental belief in his prophethood. If anyone accepts the entire message of the Prophet (Ṣallāhu ‘alayhi wa salam) but does not believe that he was the final messenger, that person has not yet entered Islām. Moreover, if one held the Prophet…
Part Four: An Option to Pray in the House and Miss the Congregational Mosque Prayer The scholars have allowed a concession to not pray the congregational prayer in the mosque if the weather makes it significantly inconvenient and could cause harm. Ibn Qudāmah said: “(A man) may be excused for not praying the Friday prayer (Jumu`ah) or praying with the congregation (jamā`ah) because of rain that makes the clothes wet, or mud that causes annoyance or stains the clothes. It was narrated that ‘Abd Allāh b. ‘Abbās (RaḍiAllāhu 'anhu) said to his Mu'adhin on a rainy day: When you say:…
