Maktabah Al-Imām Al-Ghazālī

Another rumour has been circulating: that the resistance is safe in the tunnels while the people are suffering and being persecuted. I heard some corrupt Shaykhs from outside Ghazza repeating this, and the Jewish media supported these rumours through cartoons, mockery, and misleading news...and how strange!  The Jews tell the resistance leadership: leave the tunnels and don't hide in them, for this is cowardice. And we say to them, using the same logic: remove the separation wall, stop the surveillance systems, and then fight us face to face, you cowards! Our trenches and tunnels are not cowardice, you cowards! The battlefields know our might, and your heavy tanks know their small size when our Mujahideen ride on them. Our tunnels are a tactic and an art of warfare that the nature of the battle and your cowardice have forced upon us from direct confrontation. I say this so that no one laughs at the Muslims and shakes their self-confidence! To be realistic, believe me, tunnels are n...

  To modern man - postmodern man: know that anything deviating from its course takes it from the realm of beauty into the absurdity of ugliness. The sun remains beautiful in its orbit ordained by Allah Ta'ala, and the moon remains luminous, sending forth its luminous tranquility by adhering to the limit set for it by Allah Ta'ala.  Likewise, everything in this world is subject to this, 'it is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outpace the day. Each floats in its orbit.' [Qur'an 26:44] The greatest beauty for a servant is to adhere to the meaning of his servitude, for this is the requirement of reason and wisdom, especially for one who knows poverty and weakness, his limited understanding, and his weary thinking. Let him submit to the one who says to a thing, 'be', and it is. In all of this lies Shaytan's endless filth. Therefore, Allah Ta'ala has enjoined upon us not to worship Shaytan, but to dedicate our worship solely to Him,...

The Masajid are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone. [Surah al:Jinn 18] Masajid, not just Al-Masjid Al-Haraam! Allah-u-Akbar! What Masajid, O Rabb? There were only two Masajid on the earth (at the time of the revelation of this ayat); Al-Masjid Al-Haraam and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa. Al-Masjid Al-Haraam was under the authority of the Quraysh, and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa was under the rule of the Romans, and the Noble Qur'an says, 'O Muhammad, the Masajid are for Allah, all Masajid!' This is glad tidings from the heart of the critical Makkan situation that you will conquer Al-Masjid Al-Haraam and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, O Muhammad! How comforting was this to the heart of Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam! This is something Allah Ta'ala revealed to his Nabi, and Allah knows best.

  Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik radiyallahu 'anhu reports that Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said, "The most merciful of my Ummah upon my Ummah is Abu Bakr..." [Tirmidhi] Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said that the system after himself will be that of Khilafat, and he indicated in multiple ways that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr As-Siddiq radhiyallahu 'anhu will be his first Khalifah. Moreover, he clearly said in the narration quoted above that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr As-Siddiq radhiyallahu 'anhu is the most merciful of the Ummah upon the Ummah. Now, who shows mercy? The elder upon the junior, or, the junior to the senior? Does the shepherd show mercy to the herd, or, does the herd show mercy to the shepherd? Does the father show mercy to the child, or, does the child show mercy to the father?  It is quite clear that the senior shows mercy to the junior. The father shows mercy to the children. The shepherd shows mercy to the herd. The superior shows mercy t...

  Ibn Kathir rahimahullah has written that in contrast to the Jews and Christians, the Mu'mineen (Muslim believers) should be people who possess the relevant knowledge and also practice upon it. He writes that although the Jews and the Christians have both incurred Allah's wrath, and have both wandered astray, the Jews are especially despised. On the other hand, the Christians have been specifically termed as having strayed because of their misguided behaviour. The mischief and rebelliousness of the Jews is discussed in detail in Surah al-Baqarah and other Surahs of the Noble Qur'an. Each incident demonstrates how they continuously and purposely invited Allah's wrath upon themselves.  Therefore, the Muslims have been advised to pray to Allah in every Salaah to save themselves from following the ways of the Jews and the Christians. Muslims should now ponder if they are actually averse to the ways of the Jews and Christians as they should be, and if they are closely emula...

The well-known interfaith advocate: Dudhwala, aka Haleebi, has made the following ridiculous statement on the mimbar: Reply: Contrary to his claims, Christmas is one of the most widely celebrated non-Muslim religious holidays in the world. Even if some people mark Christmas as just a secular festive season without believing in false Christian beliefs, Christmas still represents and still remains a symbol of Christianity and false Christian beliefs.  Hence, it is completely impermissible for Muslims to participate in Christmas in any way, including by greeting people for Christmas or giving gifts for Christmas.  Muslims should be encouraged to be courteous to their own non-hostile non-Muslim neighbours all year round, including by giving them gifts. But this must be within the boundaries of Islam. It cannot be by bending the principles and rules of Islam.  To improve the situation of Muslims in the UK or elsewhere, what is needed is to gain the assistance of Allah, Who alo...

  ‘Aynū Bibi:  The Amazing Incident of a Brave Afghan Woman Ḥ ak ī m-ul-Isl ā m Q ā r ī Mu ḥ ammad Ṭ ayyib Qāsimī rahimahullah Former Rector of Dar-ul-‘Ulum Deoband There was an Afghan soldier that had been away from his family and loved ones for a very long time. Once, he had reached a place close to his home, and he could not bear to wait any longer, nor could he tolerate the instruction to delay his return for a short while. He thought in his heart: ‘as a Mujāhid, I had gone with Aḥmad Shāh Abdālī to Hindustan. After his successful Jihād against the Marathas, I have now come close to home, why should I not spend a few days here?’ Whilst thinking over this, he left the army and came to his home. He thought that after spending two days at home, he will re-join the army before it enters Kandahar. The soldier reached his house; his children were there, but his wife had gone to a nearby stream to get water. This soldier hugged his children and displayed affection towards th...

  Imposters and fraudsters who posed as prophets have always attempted to distort the Noble Qur'an.  Musaylamah al-Kadh-dhab claimed to receive revelation and fooled his followers into thinking that he was a divinely appointed messenger. His laughable lines of poetry cause even a first grader to chuckle and a drunken cokehead to snigger.  Musaylamah of Punjab, i.e., Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani, followed suit, and claimed to be a messenger. He also ended up a laughing stock whilst his filth exited his mouth as he woefully died on the toilet seat.  May Allah Ta'ala save the Ummah from all their lies and distortions.  In this day and age, another attempt has been made to tamper with the message of the Noble Qur'an, this time by an interfaith scholar.  The Clear Quran by Mustafa Khattab includes interfaith themes in his translation of the Noble Qur'an, like 'no compulsion in religion', 'common origin of humanity', 'accountability based on deeds, not affi...

  What does it mean to give a rose to the perfumer?! Or, rain to the clouds?! What good does it do to pour a jug of water into a river?! What does it mean to give a dinar to a rich man?! I think the idea of dedication has become overused...So, to whom do I dedicate this book?! To the martyrs who did good, who did so much for us...or, to the school of patience, my father and mother, whom I haven't seen for 14 months...or, to the Mujahideen who showed us our direction and our Qiblah...or, to my beloved wife, whose tears stole the ink of my book...or, to the sincere preachers who strove with their knowledge in a great struggle?! To all of you, and to every worker for the glory of his religion and the honour of his nation, I dedicate this book... and whoever sleeps while his religion is being defended, may his eyes never find rest. _______The Martyr, Muhammad Zaki Hamad, Under the Banner of the Flood...Khabbab's Trench p.4 Support our Work through Paypal
