Verily Allah (SWT) sent the Messenger Muhammad (saw) as a Rahmah-mercy for Mankind. Through him Allah (SWT) revealed the Qur’an, which contains many lessons for us in the narratives of the previous Messengers. The struggle of Ibraheem (as) against the tyrant of his time, Nimrod, is not dissimilar to the situation in which the Muslims find themselves in after the 11th September 2001. Ibraheem (as)’s life is also significant to this time of year when millions of Muslims make the annual Hajj-pilgrimage to Makkah. We hope to reflect on some of the lessons below insh’Allah.
Ibraheem (as) is described as an Ummah by himself. Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an Ibraheem was indeed an Ummah devoutly obedient to Allah (and) true in faith and he joined not gods with Allah [EMQ 16:120] Moreover Allah (SWT) says: “Behold! We gave the site to Abraham of the House of Allah (i.e. Al-Masjid Al-Haram) (saying): “Associate not any thing (in worship) with Me; and sanctify My House for those who compass it round or stand up or bow or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer). “And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways [EMQ 22: 26-27] Despite there being no one physically present before Ibraheem (as), Allah (SWT) ensured that his (as)’s Azaan (Call) would be heard by many generations to come who would respond to his call and make pilgrimage to Makkah, as they do today, this is indeed a great blessing for Ibraheem and one of the miracles of Allah (SWT).
Ibraheem (as) is known as someone who would debate with himself the issue of man, life & universe, where did we come from and our final destiny: Allah (SWT) informs us hence: “So also did We show Ibraheem the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth that he might (with understanding) have certitude. When the night covered him over he saw a star: he said: “this is my Lord.” But when it set he said: “I love not those that set.” When he saw the moon rising in splendor He said: “This is my Lord.” but when the moon set he said: “Unless my Lord guide me I shall surely be among those who go astray.” When he saw the sun rising in splendor he said: “This is my Lord; this is the greatest (of all).” But when the sun set he said: “O my people! I am (now) free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah. “For me I have set my face firmly and truly toward Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah.” [EMQ 6:74-79] The firm conviction of Ibraheem (as) is shown here. Ibraheem (as) finds that which the senses perceived as great i.e. the sun and the moon, to be limited and needy themselves and therefore not worthy of worship. Following his rational contemplation Ibraheem (as) makes complete Bara’(Disassociated) from all that his people worshipped.
Allah (SWT) then tells us about the individual daw’ah of Ibraheem (as) to his father: “Also mention in the Book (the story of) Ibraheem: he was a man of Truth a prophet. Behold he said to his father: “O my father! why worship that which heareth not and seeth not and can profit thee nothing? “O my father! to me hath come knowledge which hath not reached thee: so follow me: I will guide thee to a Way that is even and straight. “O my father! serve not Satan: for Satan is a rebel against (Allah) Most Gracious. “O my father! I fear lest a Penalty afflict thee from (Allah) Most Gracious so that thou become to Satan a friend.” (The father) replied: “Dost thou hate my gods O Ibraheem? If thou forbear not I will indeed stone thee: now get away from me for a good long while!” Ibraheem said: “Peace be on thee: I will pray to my Lord for thy forgiveness: for He is to me Most Gracious. “And I will turn away from you (all) and from those whom ye invoke besides Allah: I will call on my Lord: Perhaps by my prayer to my Lord I shall be not unblest.” [EMQ 19:41-48] Ibraheem (as) here distances himself from his father and what he is calling for, preferring Imaan over ties of family, tribe and nationalistic, similarly Muslims must rise above any bonds of nationalism and see themselves as “a unique brotherhood (Ummah) whose land, war, peace and honor is one.” (Ahmad) Nevertheless Ibraheem (as) fulfilled his promise to his father of asking Allah (SWT) to guide his father, if he (as) became aware of the truth “And Ibraheem prayed for his father’s forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah he dissociated himself from him: for Ibraheem was most tender-hearted forbearing.” [EMQ 9:114] But when he discovered that his father was an enemy to Allah (SWT) he made Bara’ (Disassociate) from him and declared him a Mushrik.
Moreover Allah (SWT) tells us about Ibraheem (as)’s da’wah to the society in which he lived: We bestowed aforetime on Ibraheem wahi and knowledge and he said to his father and his people “What are these images to which ye are (so assiduously) devoted?” Attacking that which they worshipped They said “We found our father worshipping them.” A similitude can be drawn here with people in today’s world who do not (on the whole) follow the wooden idols-gods as they did in the past, but the new ‘intellectual’ idols-gods of today which take the form of ‘Freedom’, ‘Democracy’, ‘Human Rights’, ‘Secularism’ , ‘Nationalism’ etc… they follow, obey, submit, serve and Die for such ideas in the footsteps of their forefathers, without scrutinizing them for their agreement with the divine decree of Allah (SWT). After all, what is worshipping or Ibadah in Islam if not to obey, to follow, to submit and to serve? He said “Indeed ye have been misguided.” They said “Have you brought us the Truth or are you one of those who has just come to disturb us?” He said “Nay your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth He Who created them (from nothing): and I am a witness to this (truth). And by Allah I have a plan for your idols after ye go away and turn your backs”… So he broke them to pieces (all) but the biggest of them that they might turn (and address themselves) to it. They said “Who has done this to our gods? He must indeed be some man of impiety!” In the same way that Ibraheem showed the Kuffar (disbelievers) in his time the folly of worshipping what they made with their hands, the events of the 11th of September 2001 have shown the world the folly of eulogizing Human Rights, Civil Liberties, Freedom and Democracy. These very man made concepts, upheld by so many, were shown to be false gods once the guardians of these intellectual idols started arresting 3000 Muslims under the pretext of being members of ‘Al-Qa’ida’. As Muslims are kept in conditions unfit for animals in Guantanamo Bay anyone who has the fortitude to speak up against the atrocities perpetrated by the US and UK in Iraq, Palestine, Chechnya, Afghanistan etc… or anyone suspected of supporting such causes (an Islamic duty upon every Muslim) are automatically branded as terrorists and detained without the ‘right’ to trial and in many instances without any cogent evidence whatsoever.
“The horrific reports of torture, rape and murder at Abu Gharib, as well as the other prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan (BAGRAM), are disappearing from U.S. media while not one word has been “reported” by them on the torture of children at the hands of U.S. personnel. So much for keeping the public informed.” Jack Dalton. Jack_Dalton@ommp.orgJuly 21, 2004
“How do you explain the indefinite imprisonment of children, and sodomizing them, in Abu Ghraib prison in Bagdad?” A Comment by Larry Ross July 22, 2004
“Statements and findings by non-governmental organizations and human-rights groups detail how one female detainee had been raped 17 times in one day by ‘Iraqi’ police in the presence of US troops. Another NGO reported of how one mother-of-four killed herself after being held by her hair and raped in front of her restrained husband, who was forced to watch.”
“A former male prisoner also reported how he regularly saw Iraqi women taken into a room. He said, “They had to pass in front of our tent and cried out, ‘Find a way to kill us’”.” - http://colombia.indymedia.org/news/2004/06/14073.php
The same is going on right now in IRAQ where thousands and thousands Iraqi Muslims are Brutally Murdered in the name of Freedom with all kind of BOMBS whatever were available for US and UK combined attack, as if the previous 13 years of sanction was not enough which killed more than 500,000 innocent Children without counting the women, men and elderly. The US and UK destroyed a country with more than 5,000 years civilization, infrastructures, water supplies, Hospitals, Schools-colleges-universities, gardens so the big corporations can have more than 100 Billion Dollars contracts which will make Iraqi Muslims enslave for the next 100 years. The US exploited the 9/11 and initiated a WWIII against Islam and Muslims world wide in the name of TERRORISM (Islam) and TERRORISTS (Muslims). The same thing was initiated against Ibraheem(as) when they labeled him(as) as a terrorist, They said “We heard a youth talk of them: he is called Ibraheem.” They said “Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may bear witness:” They said “Art thou the one that did this with our gods O Ibraheem?” Perhaps in the same way that the US arrogantly accused the Muslims as soon as the twin Towers were destroyed in New York, and in particular the Taleban and Usama Bin Laden…. He said: “Nay this was done by this, their biggest one! Ask them if they can speak intelligently!” So they turned to themselves and said “Surely ye are the ones in the wrong!” Then were they confounded with shame: (they said) “Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!” Democracy-SHIRK (i.e. Man-Made-Laws), Freedom, Secularism and Human Rights are nothing other than the inventions of man. Just as the disbelievers in the past caused tyranny and oppression against Muslims in the name of ‘The Crusades’ and later ‘Civilizing Missions’ (under colonialism), today they butcher Muslims and rape our land and resources in the name of ‘Democracy’ and ‘Freedom’ and ‘Human Rights’ in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Chechniya, Kashmir, Sudan, Sumalia etc. However, Ibraheem (as) brings their attention to what they practice, (Ibraheem) said: “Do ye then worship besides Allah things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you harm?”
“Fire upon you and upon the things that ye worship besides Allah! Have ye no sense?”…They said “Burn him and protect your gods if ye do (anything at all)!” In the same way the US led alliance against Islam and Muslims has done its best to murder, torture and eradicate anyone opposing their global hegemony today under the guise of ‘Freedom’ and ‘Democracy’. From dropping thousands of tons of bombs on innocent men, women and children in Afghanistan and Iraq, to supporting butchers like Putin, Manmohan Singh and Netanyahu. There is no measure too severe to silence the carriers of daw’ah and the indigenous people and to protect their economic, political and military interests in Muslim land. The way that the Kuffar of the past declared ‘burn him…’ to Ibraheem (as) the British and US governments have declared their new Laws of Terrorism and extraditions to Cuba, in order to protect their new found idols. Yet Allah (SWT) continues “We said ‘O fire! be thou cool and (a means of)) safety for Ibraheem!” [EMQ 21:51-69] The final victory being with Allah (SWT), whether He (SWT) shows it to us, and we are therefore witness to it, in this world or in the hereafter.
Concerning the Leader in the Time of Ibraheem (as) i.e. Nimrod, Allah (SWT) says: Have you not looked at him who disputed with Ibrâhim (Abraham) about his Lord (Allâh), because Allâh had given him the kingdom? When Ibrâhim (Abraham) said (to him): “My Lord (Allâh) is He Who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Ibrâhim (Abraham) said, “Verily! Allâh causes the sun to rise from the east; then cause it you to rise from the west.” So the disbeliever was utterly defeated. And Allâh guides not the people, who are Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.).
[EMQ 2:258] So Bush declared after the 11th of September 2001, ‘You are either with us or with the Terrorists’ naming his, and Blair’s, massacre of Muslims ‘Infinite Justice’.
O Muslims, Allah (SWT) gives us many lessons in the Qur’an through the lives of his Messengers. The Pharaoh of Musa (as), the Caesar of Essa (as) the Abu Lahab of Muhammad (saw) and the Nimrod of Ibraheem (as) are today replaced by the likes of Obama, David Cameron, Putin, Manmohan Singh, Netanyahu, Mubarak and Zardari. The physical idols have been replaced with the intellectual idols of Democracy and Freedom and changed their Kabah from Makkah to the White House in Washington. Yet the struggle between Haqq and Batil, between Tawheed and Kufr, between the soldiers of Allah (SWT) and those of Taghout continues. Let us make a pledge this Hajj to join this struggle, let us pledge to Allah (SWT) to command good and forbid evil to the societies in which we live, just as the Messengers Ibraheem (AS) and Muhammad (saw) did and commanded us to do, let us work together to establish the rule of Allah (SWT) i.e.Al-Khilafah, through an intellectual and a political struggle, as opposed to living under the idolatry, tyranny and oppression of man made law-Shirk.
HAJJ & EID MUBARAK
It was only 4 years ago that the Muslim Ummah rejoiced at the election of Barack Obama to the highest political office in America. Obama said he would end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, bring American troops home, close down Guantanamo Bay, and put an end to the decades-old question of Israel and Palestine. The Ummah sighed collectively in relief; it seemed he was the answer to their prayers. And yet, 4 years later, we now know that he aggravated the war in Afghanistan by sending additional thousands of troops, laying waste to what was once Iraq, and failing to close the illegal prison in Guantanamo Bay. The issue of Palestine is a wound that does not seem to heal, as Obama showed his true colors by unilaterally siding with Israel, even when Israel violates the same international laws that created it. Rather than shifting away from the policies of his predecessor, Bush, Obama reinforced Bush’s disastrous policies, even strengthening them as the years dragged on.
At every election, like clockwork, the Muslim Ummah throws their support behind a candidate, and the Muslims are made into fools once again. Why is it that we constantly find ourselves in this terrible position? We make unrealistic expectations and project them onto these tawagheet, hoping that they somehow make life better for us if we elect them. What does Islam say about voting, elections, and democracy in general? What does Islam say about participating in these elections as voters, or even as candidates for US congressional seats etc.?
First, we must understand the reality regarding voting, elections, and politics in this country. Namely, participation in the elections comes in two forms:
1) Participating as a candidate
2) Voting for a particular candidate.
So, what are the roles of candidates and what are their responsibilities?
►They are described as legislative authorities, who convene to make laws and enact them once they are passed. Their sources of legislation are either the American Constitution, the consensus of Congress, the consent of the voters, and their own opinions, backgrounds, and beliefs.
►As for voting for candidates on a ballot, this vote entails endorsing the candidate’s right as a legislator (Law-maker). By voting, you are supporting the framework of the election, and saying that you agree that the candidate you vote for, or whoever wins, has the right to make laws on your behalf.
Our aqeedah and tawheed as Muslims entails submitting, obeying, following, worshipping, and elevating Allah SWT only in every aspect of life including voting and electing. This is the definition of ibadah, and it must be done exclusively, without associating Allah SWT or His attributes to anyone else. For example, saying that George Bush is ar-Rahman is explicitly forbidden—an act of shirk which takes you outside of Islam; meaning, you become a kaafir. As Muslims, our belief entails accepting Allah SWT as the sole Legislator , law-giver (al-Hakaim), with no one sharing in this authority ,right and attribute. ( إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ )“Verily the absolute right of legislating is for none but Allah (SWT)” [EMQ 12:40]
And Allah (SWT) says: “It is unlawful for Believing male or female when Allah(SWT) and His Messenger(SAW) decree a command to have any choice but to abide with it and whosoever disobeys Allah or his Messenger went astray in plain mis-guidance” [EMQ 33:36]
So, the question is: Is voting in man-made systems such as democracy allowed in Islam? Would Allah SWT tell you that He is the sole Legislator and then accept that you give this right to a mere human? On top of that, you give the right of legislation to a kaafir? وَلَنْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلًا {141} . The negation particle ‘lan’ in the verse is emphatic and is grammatically known as the ‘negation of the future’ (li nafy al-mustaqbal).
So, Allah will never allow or want – ever – the enemies of the believers to establish themselves, preside over them or to dominate them (4:141). How is it that we, the Muslims, would give the right of Legislation, of creating laws, to another person, to put them in power and authority instead of Almighty Allah SWT? It is a mockery of Islam. Moreover, to put a Kafir or even a Muslim in a legislative position in a kufr system is to take the Right of Allah SWT, to make Halal as Haram and Haram as Halal!
By voting, you fall into the trap of secularism. Secularism states that God has sovereignty and rules only in heaven and inside the church, masjid, synagogue, temple etc. and Man has sovereignty on Earth. The idea of mankind legislating for themselves can be summed up in the famous statement: the Rule is by the People, for the People, over the People.”
In Summary, the Congress or Senate is a body which legislates-makes LAWS; people are sovereign and the source of legislation, and Congressmen/women or Senators are chosen by the people to legislate-to make laws on their behalf. Basically, they have the right to make haraam into halaal and vice versa!
The Islamic verdict on the above:
1. Anybody who believes that almighty Allah (SWT) is not the only, exclusive Legislator and Commander is a disbeliever.
2. Anybody who believes in Almighty Allah (SWT) and associates anyone else with Him, contravening His being the sole legislator and commander is a Mushrik i.e. associates another as partner unto Allah (SWT).
3. Any Muslim who knowingly votes for a person who is a part of a legislative body, whether on the higher levels of Congress/Senate, or even on a city/town level, is an apostate-Murtaad.
4. Any Muslim who participates in elections to become a Congressman or Senator including on State or City level knowing the reality of Congress or Senate as a legislative House is an apostate.
5. Any Muslim who does not know the reality of Congress or Senate and then votes is sinful because he did not seek the divine ruling for his action before committing it. The Juristic Principle is that every action, verbal or physical, must be based on an Islamic ruling which is derived solely from the Qur’an and Sunnah.
6. Any Muslim who participates in voting for a candidate whether the candidate is basing his/her action on a misled so-called ‘opinion’ from a rationalist or secular clergyman has been misled and the issue must be explained to him/her. Believing that Allah (SWT) is the only legislator is a matter known from the Deen of Islam by necessity, therefore ignorance about it is not an excuse and he/she is therefore sinful.
7. The only excuse is for a person who is new Muslim or fully ignorant about what is known by necessity from the Deen of Islam due to the fact that he has grown up under kufr law and between non-Muslims. Those Muslims need the matter explained to them but if they continue to vote claiming that they have a different opinion from another person they are sinful.
As for the divine evidences for the above verdicts, they are derived from the fact that Allah (SWT) says: ‘They imitate the sayings of the disbelievers, Allah(SWT)’s curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth; They took their Rabbis and their Monks to be their Lords and Legislators besides Allah(SWT) and took the Messiah, the son of Mary, while they were commanded to worship, obey and follow none but one God/Allah; none has the right to be worshipped or followed and to legislate but he, praise and glory be to him from having the partners they associate with him.’30:31]
In addition, Allah (SWT) says in another clear-cut and explicit evidence that obeying any man-made system knowingly with consent for its source, different to Allah (SWT) is apostasy. For Allah (SWT) says; ‘Or have they partners with Allah, who have legislated for them what Allah (SWT) has not decreed and had it not been for a decisive word the matter would have been judged between them and verily for the Polytheists and wrongdoers there is a painful torment’ [EMQ 42:21]
Therefore, whoever votes or follows any of those misguided legislators and gives them the vote enabling them to legislate has in fact chosen a Lord to Legislate for him and this is associating with almighty Allah SWT another legislator and commander. One who does this has given up his belief in Allah SWT and committed shirk, the one crime for which Allah SWT deems there is no forgiveness!
Certainly, there is a reasonable amount of understanding for someone who is ignorant of the truth, or someone who does not realize he is committing shirk by voting. However, for the one who stands as a candidate, who wishes to take the right of Allah SWT as the Legislator and apply it to himself, what excuse does he have? Can someone who calls people to vote, collects money for it, writes about it and distributes pamphlets, invites other congressmen and politicians to the Masaajid to speak on his behalf… can this person be called a Muslim after that? How ironic is it that this so-called Muslim has no problem inviting the Senator or Councilman to the Masjid, but as soon as you mention the conflicts occurring in places such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Palestine he immediately shuts you down and says, “Akhi, no politics in the Mosque.” Then what exactly is the kaafir congressman doing there being showered with gifts, praises, and endorsements from you?
For one moment, push aside the Islamic viewpoint. Many people claim that the benefit is too substantial NOT to vote. If that’s the case, then ask yourself what exactly happened after Bush was voted out and Obama came to power. Did things really change course? Let us explore some examples.
1) If Bush’s policy was war, then Obama’s has been war on steroids. Muslims expected that Obama would end the wars, when in fact he opened up more fronts and put Drone attacks into overdrive.
2) The casualties of the wars enacted under Bush’s regime are laughable compared to Obama’s. In fact, Obama can boast 5 times as many dead civilians as Bush on his CV since he came into office.
3) The Patriot Act, which practically destroys any Constitutional principles, was enacted by Bush and RENEWED by Obama. Doesn’t the fact that the kuffar can change the laws any time they want worry you as a Muslim? They would willingly go against even their own Constitution (a document considered almost sacred) to push laws in order to oppress you. America, Dear Muslim, is simply a more civilized, better organized dictatorship. This is the person you wanted to vote for?
4) Just like under Bush, under Obama anyone can be detained INDEFINITELY without trial. You can be locked in prison without ever being told why, without any trial, and the key to your cell can be thrown away. We have to give some credit to Obama, however. Under Bush, Saddam Hussein was at least captured and put on trial, even though it was a kangaroo court. Obama is more ruthless than Bush. Under Obama, certain individuals (al-Awlaki—an AMERICAN CITIZEN, Osama bin Laden) were simply assassinated. No trial, no charges, no jury, no “justice.” Even by their own standards, they are hypocrites.
The point we are trying to make is that it simply does not matter who wins the election. Whether it is Romney, Obama, or some other person, the policies and ideology will stay the same. The same people who are in the Pentagon now have been working for decades and shaping long-term policy. Do you think the bureaucrats and executives who orchestrated and organized policies for decades will allow someone to simply get voted in and change their establishment? They are far less concerned with whoever is in office than the public. Obama cannot change decades-long policy in 2, 4, or even 8 years. Nor does he really want to.
Aside from the fact that it is pure shirk to vote in these elections, consider the examples we provided and think about whether there actually was any benefit. How beneficial was it that there were two troop surges in Afghanistan so that American soldiers can continue their crimes against humanity? How much benefit is there in being caught by a bullet from a drone? Is there really benefit in living in fear here at home, wondering if you’ll be swept off the street and stashed into a prison?
Did the Prophet PBUH care about benefit? He could have easily deferred to the senators and congressmen of his time such as Abu Lahab, Abu Jahl, Omaya bin Khalaf and “voted” for the causes they espoused. The mushrikeen were offering him(SAW) women, gold, kingship and the keys to Mecca to stop establishing Islam. . Instead, he(SAW) rejected all their offers wholeheartedly, choosing only Allah SWT as his Legislator and encouraging Islam. Today, we have the opposite: Muslims are beggars, giving up parts of Islam they deem inconvenient, rushing to compromise and twist Islam in order to please the kuffar. Allah SWT has completed our Deen for us, and given us a political, economic, judicial, social system completely independent of man-made ideologies such as democracy/capitalism.
In a society that is veering toward fascism, the only option we have as Muslims living in the West is to invite people to Islam through intellectual and political means, and bring about change by offering Islam as the only solution to the problems we face today. Muslims do not realize that this Islam is unique as it offers a solution to the destitute situation that society finds itself in today. Islam did not simply come for Muslims, or for a certain ethnicity or tribe, but it is a complete system of governance for Muslims AND non-Muslims.
If one needs to gain perspective on what is right and wrong, then one should not look any further than the divine laws encoded in the Shariah based on Quran and Sunnah.
Do the Muslims realize that the West already knows for itself that Capitalism is dying? Do the Muslims realize that Islam is the only solution for the West? By now, they should realize that Islam is the next dominating ideology. Why would they adopt inferior ways of life such as Capitalism and Democracy when Allah SWT sent his Messenger PBUH with a complete way of life; Islam carries a social system, a political system, a punitive system, a judicial system, an economic system, a foreign policy… everything which makes a nation is encoded in the Shariah. Even then, the Muslims look to man-made systems for guidance instead of the Quran and Sunnah-that is sad! Our attitude and purpose of Islam is clearly defined by Allah(SWT), and we have to submit to that without any ifs and buts!‘…Verily Allah sent the Messenger with the Deen of guidance and truth (Tawheed+Shariah) in order to dominate over all other Deens (i.e. religions; such as Christianity, Hinduism and Judaism and ideologies; such as capitalism and Communism) even if the idolaters dislike it…[EMQ 9:33]
ITS is an Islamic ideological and political organization which is working to establish Islam in its totality i.e. Tawheed+Shariah-Islamic system , Islamic way of life through an intellectual and a political struggle i.e. non-violent means! Islam is the only solution and the way forward. Learn how Islam can offer a solution to all of your personal problems as well as those that affect society. We invite you to seek a better way of life and question the roots of your government. We encourage you to seek alternative solutions to the problems facing society today. Islam will eradicate poverty, Islam will bring true justice, and it will liberate society from the shackles of man-made law.
It’s the defining moment in the history of Islam like Badr:
Either you stand for Islam and your identity FIRMLY, or the kuffar will define Islam for you and you lose it completely.
September 16, 1982 was the day when thousands of Muslims in Palestine were massacred in the Shabra and Shatila refugee camps by the Israeli supporters Phalangist militia while the camps were surrounded by Zionist Israeli forces.
We just wanted to remind the Muslim Ummah not to forget the blood of their brothers and sisters that were spilt on this day 29 years ago by an enemy that still exists; namely the Zionist State of ISRAEL.
