Islam in Congo - A Heartbreaking Report & A Call to Action


In Congo, the Muslim population is about 10%; most of them are new converts who have embraced Islam through dreams. Sometimes jamaats go through villages, and a whole village embraces Islam. 

Since there are no teachers to teach them the proper Deen after becoming Muslims, they still maintain their old customs. Some Muslims have never seen a copy of the Noble Qur'an in their lives. Many couples live without Nikah. 

Such situations can only be experienced when people go in fisabilillah, i.e., in the path of Allah Ta'ala, from village to village. 

Recently, a local jamaat from Kinshasa went to a village called Mongala in the equatorial region of Congo, 1100 km from the capital Kinshasa, to tashkeel them to participate in the Ijtima which was held in Kalemie, east of Congo, on 17th, 18th and 19th December 21. 

One brother of the village gave the following report:

"Thanks to the path of the jamaat, we learned that pork is haraam. Before, we used to think only dead pigs are not halaal but if we slaughter live pigs and say 'Bismillah Allahu Akbar ', then they become halaal. No Muslim came to tell us that pigs are haram. We thought that by doing zabiha, it became halaal like any other animal. Even our Imam is selling pork. 

The Imam does not know how to deliver the Jumu'ah Khutbah. Every 2 months, he goes to the nearest town to learn the Khutbah to be delivered for the next two months. Even the Imam does not know what names to give to the newborns. 

We bury our dead in coffins according to local Christian customs. We beat drums and play music during the burial. We do not know how to read the Qur'an for the deceased. 

If the people have to leave the village for a week in the bush, they will perform all the prayers due for that week in advance so as not to miss the prayers while they are away. 

When they are sick, they go to consult the witch doctor. Even the Imam accompanies the sick to see him. 

At this point the brother giving the report started crying, sobbing and nearly choked with emotion: He appealed to the assembly :

" Dear brothers, we need you to come to our village. Come and help us, come and help us. We do not have anybody to teach us the Deen. Please do not forsake us. Come and teach us deen. Come and teach us Islam. 

We do not want to be like Christians who read from their Bible. Our Imams do not have the Qur'an. They preach to us from the bible and replace the disciples' names with those of the Sahabah [radiyallahu 'anhum]. 

Please do not abandon us. 

For the sake of Allah Ta'ala, come to us. You people of the east of Congo, you are more knowledgeable about Islam. For the sake of Allah, we are begging you not to leave us in this state of ignorance. "

Khamenei is no Martyr

  Muslims around the world woke up to the headlines about the death of Ali Khamenei.  May Allah Ta'ala deal with him as he deserves. Ameen At this point in time, the minds of Muslims are flooded with messages and propaganda about this so-called 'great man'.  Ali Khamenei was no 'great man'.  1. His beliefs were totally corrupt. He was the leader of the Ithna Ashariyyah Shia. Hundreds upon hundreds of scholars of the Ahl-us-Sunnah wal Jama'ah throughout history have issued fatawa stating that the Ithna Ashariyyah ARE NOT MUSLIMS! 2. Ali Khamenei has been at the forefront of the Shia world for 36 years, and in all this time, he has approved of the killing of millions of Muslims around the world, especially in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen. 3. Ali Khamenei supported the murder and assassination of tens of Ulama in Pakistan that stood up against the Shia fitnah. 4. Ali Khamenei promised the Shia thugs and hoodlums Jannah for killing the Mu...

 Study the following images of the Iranian Parliament Building, then read the article that follows: Top: Exterior of the Iranian Parliament Building Bottom: Interior of the Iranian Parliament Building View of the Iranian Parliament Building from the Street 33 Windows of the Iranian Parliament Building 1. The Iranian parliament building is in shape of a triangle. It has 33 windows.  From all building shapes, Iran has selected the triangle for its parliament. The triangle is also used extensively in freemasonry, and is found on the 1 dollar bill (USA). There are 33 degrees in freemasonry. The Iranian constitution is based on Ithna 'Ashari Shiasm. So, is Ithna 'Ashari Shiasm actually a display of freemasonry and satanism? Bear in mind that Dajjal's army will emerge from Isfahan, Iran. 2.  Zionism and Shiasm both lead a person to Satanism, both are inhumane and extremely violent. Zionists murder, pillage and plunder innocent Muslims. Shias also murder, pillage and plunder inn...

Iran & Israel: Friends in War

  As we edge closer to Qiyamah, deciphering the events that lead up to it becomes increasingly difficult. The air becomes foggier and the ground becomes more slippery with each step. Understanding the signs of Qiyamah is like Qiyamah itself.   Iran Iran has raised many eyebrows in the recent days. In order to understand the matter, it is essential to look into the history and significance of this place.  Iran has a rich and mixed history. It was conquered in the time of Sayyiduna 'Umar radiyallahu 'anhu and gave birth to some of the most magnificent scholars in the history of Islam.  The hadith of Sayyiduna Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam had emphatically declared a short while before this conquest, that there will be no Kisra again after he disrespected the blessed letter of the Rasul of Allah and tore it up. The Kisra was soon killed, then his son consumed poison that his father left for him, and that led to the collapse of the Persian Empire....
