  Afghanistan - The Graveyard of Superpowers by Moulana Afzal Ismail  Published by: Muslims at Work Publications, South Africa First Edition: Jumad al-Akhirah 1447 | December 2025 For generations, Afghanistan has been the land where empires invade - and fall. From colonial ambitions and Cold War invasions to modern warfare, the world's mightiest forces have entered its mountains with confidence and departed in defeat. Afghanistan - The Graveyard of Superpowers traces this remarkable pattern through history, analysing the British invasions, the Soviet occupation, the American-led war and the rise of the Taliban. It explores the imani, strategic and cultural forces that shaped Afghan resilience, the media narratives that distorted realities and the lessons the Noble Qur'an offers for understanding conflict. This book reveals why Afghanistan remains unconquered - and why its enemies fear its mujahideen.     〰 〰 〰 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 This is a brilliant work by the hard worki...

Mūṣā Aṣ-Ṣadr – Founder of Ḥarakah Amal Ash-Shia The Founder of Ḥarakah Amal Ash-Shia was Mūsā Aṣ-Ṣadr. He was a resident of Iran. He was born in 1928. He studied at Tehran University. Mūsā Aṣ-Ṣadr was the special student of Khomeini [la’anahullāh]. Family of Khomeini Mūsā Aṣ-Ṣadr had a close family relationship with Khomeini [la’anahullāh] too. The son of Khomeini - Aḥmad – was married to the niece of Mūsā Aṣ-Ṣadr. The nephew of Mūsā Aṣ-Ṣadr - Murtaḍā Aṭ-Ṭabāṭabā’ī – was married to the granddaughter of Khomeini [la’anahullāh]. Founding Ḥarakah Amal Ash-Shia Mūsā Aṣ-Ṣadr laid the foundations of Ḥarakah Amal Ash-Shia the Al-Junūb area of Lebanon. This organization was linked to the National Army. Mūsā Aṣ-Ṣadr made the Nuṣayrī Shia into his confidants, and placed them in important positions. Oppression upon the Palestinians Mūsā Aṣ-Ṣadr inflicted great oppression upon the Palestinians. The leaders of the Palestinian Freedom Movement were so distressed that they went to Egypt and delivered...

  Before the Safavid Takeover Before the Safavid takeover of Iran, the country was a flourishing Sunni Muslim state. It produced a large number of the greatest scholars and luminaries in Islamic history. Shah Ismail Safavi  In 1501 CE, Shah Ismail Safavi declared Shiasm (Twelver) as the state religion. Some of his courtiers told him that the large Sunni Muslim population that lived around them could rebel against him. Shah Ismail Safavi replied, "I have been deputed by Allah for this task. If anyone raises a voice against my decision, I will not leave him alive." Shah Ismail Safavi announced that the Khulafa' Ar-Rashidin, i.e., Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna 'Umar, Sayyiduna 'Uthman radiyallahu 'anhum, should be sworn at openly. Whoever heard the swearing was to say in reply, "swear more and more." Moreover, he said, "Whoever opposes this instruction will be beheaded." He changed the Adhan and gave prominence to self-flagellation, and mourni...

  A great Mujahid and a magnificent leader, Ismail Haniyeh rahimahullah was barbarically martyred in Iran in July 2024.  Iran outwardly makes a display of support for Hamas and the cause of Palestine. But is this really the case? From the outset, it must be clear that Iran, a majority Twelver Shia country, has nothing to do with Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, nor do the Shia believe it to be of any significance.  Ismail Haniyeh was living in Doha, and he would travel to other countries too. He went to Turkiye, Russia, Egypt etc. But when he went to Iran, it was a totally different puzzle.   When a noted leader is martyred, then every minute detail is flashed all over the media. Where was the person located? Who was he with? What had happened? How did he lose his life?  The media went into a frenzy when other world leaders were killed, but here? It was said that Ismail Haniyeh rahimahullah was martyred by a guided missile. It stands to reason that if a missile hits a bu...

Shiasm is, in essence, built upon abuse and revilement; if cursing, condemnation, and vilification were removed from it, nothing substantial would remain. Under the name of tabarra (disavowal), this ill-fated sect engages in endless foul speech, and every major and minor Shi‘i book contains these things in great detail. Some people are acting shocked by the ranting of the Kuwaiti cleric Yasser al-Khabith, whereas in reality there is nothing surprising about it. The vulgarities he spews are not even a fraction of the disbelief and absurdities found in Shi‘i literature itself. The disagreement between people like Yasser al-Khabith and Hassan Allahyari and many within their own sect is precisely over this: how long should silence under the guise of taqiyyah (dissimulation) continue? If this is how we are described in the books, why hesitate to present it openly before people? And once they are free from the “expediency” of concealing their religion, you can clearly see how the true face o...

  The Shia are very quick to shout 'sectarian' when their reality is unveiled. However, if we think properly for a few moments, we understand that the Shia they are the real sectarians and the real people who create divisions and unnecessary strife. 1. If we look at the children of Sayyiduna Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, then the Shia refuse to accept the sons and three daughters of Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam. So, who is creating division and who is pulling people into their sect of Shia? 2. If we look at the wives of Sayyiduna Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, then the Shia do not accept them as Ahl-ul-Bayt and falsely accuse Sayyidah 'A'isha radiyallahu 'anha? So, who is creating division and sectarianism in the Ummah? 3. If we look at the Sahabah radiyallahu 'anhum. The Shia utter profanities towards them, write filth about them, and spread lies about them. So, who is creating division and who is se...

  What will you say, O Muslims who promote unity and love for the Shia, O 'Ulama who chant unity slogans from the Mimbar,  1. To Allah Ta'ala, when he asks you why you united with, loved, and chanted support for those who bombed and destroyed Masajid in Syria? 2. To Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, when he asks you why you united with and loved those who swore at and accused his most beloved wife, Umm-ul-Mu'mineen Sayyidah A'isha radiyallahu 'anha? 3. To Sayyiduna Abu Bakr radiyallahu 'anhu, when he asks you why you united with and supported those who reviled him day and night? 4. To Sayyiduna 'Umar radiyallahu 'anhu, when he asks you the reason for you uniting with, loving, and supporting those who celebrate his demise in Iran? (The Shia celebrate the demise of Sayyiduna 'Umar radiyallahu 'anhu annually in Iran) 5. To Sayyiduna 'Uthman radiyallahu 'anhu, when he asks you to give evidence for uniting with and supporting those ...

  One of the worst rotten stinking lies being peddled all around us today is that Iran is the "only" one doing something.  Iranian rhetoric is filled with political and religious references to Palestine, Al-Quds day, and the march to Jerusalem. The minds of the masses have been geared into thinking that there there is no country more dedicated to the liberation of Palestine than Iran.  Does this match the on-the-ground reality? Is it factual?  Despite all the Iranian rhetoric and theatrics, Iran and its militant proxies across the Arab world and beyond are responsible for countless horrendous atrocities against PALESTINIAN REFUGEES, and Palestinians that they deem to be the wrong type of Palestinians. This was clear as daylight following the US led invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003. The US led invasion of Iraq was actively supported by Iran.  In 2006, Human Rights Watch released a series of reports. One of these reports is called 'Nowhere to Flee: The Peri...
