Abu Bakr SiddiqueBy Ahmad Ali. From the day he embraced Islam until the day he died, Abu Bakr As-Siddique (Radhi Allahu Anhu - May Allah be Pleased with Him) was the ideal Muslim, surpassing all other Companions in every sphere of life. During the Prophet's lifetime, Abu Bakr was an exemplary soldier on the battlefield; upon the Prophet's death, Abu Bakr (R) remained steadfast and, through the help of Allah, held this nation together. When others suggested keeping Usaamah's army back, Abu Bakr insisted - and correctly so - that the army should continue the mission which the Prophet (S) had in mind. When people refused to pay Zakaat, and when the apostates threatened the stability of the Muslim nation, Abu Bakr was the one who remained firm and took decisive action against them. These are just some of the examples of Abu Bakr's many wonderful achievements throughout his life.

Tears of Al-Aqsa
The article reads "The death of the young boy Abdura in front of the worlds cameras has brought home to everyone the dreadful and arrogant nature of the Israeli regime and its racist disregard for the worth of all non-Israeli lives young or old, what we have witnessed is no less then a state sanction, terrorism against a civilian population"...

The Clown of QadianBefore the British Empire left India in 1874, there was a local collaborator by the name of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who would cause friction within the Muslim Ummah. When the British were made to leave India, a new problem remained that would cause Muslims to be deceived and result in them leaving the faith of Islam. All knew if the Muslim Ummah were to be one, they would easily focus on propogating Islam for the world to benefit. Mirza Gulam Ahmad preached a new false relegion and tried to lure people by mischievously calling it Islam when in fact it was not and is not Islam. Mirza's false religion is self named The Ahmadiyya Movement and referrred to as Ahmadism/Qadianism by the whole of the Muslim Ummah who declare Ahmedis as non-muslims. In fact the Jewish and Christian religions have more in common with Islam in belief than Qadianism. |
BackbitingBy Shaykh Ahmad Ali. The act of backbiting has been declared prohibited in Islam. This is the only religion which has declared it to be haram, however its nature is detested in all cultures. Yes, in this age. due to our pitiful state it is overlooked, but the word used to refer to the act 'backbiting' even in the Enlgih language signifies it's graveness. The Qur'an calls it cannibalism and the Englishlanguage implies the same. The sin of backbiting is grave indeed and it's consequences severe, yet we overlook or explain it away. Our excuses may appease those around us today but on the day of Judgement we will be held to account. This talk explains what constitutes backbiting and what its consequences. |
