Our Dawah table today had a interesting twist, The student activities [carelessness!!] forgot to mention that we needed the Dawah table for the entire week, as a result we did not have one during lunch - later on we had the table [and chairs] and I wrote a very nice message on the board “Islam is the path to salvation” in a artistic way which surprisingly caught the attention of many people. One of those people was a student, I had a very nice chat with a young man who said one thing that I was proud of “Islam does not mould to suit society [in regards to principles], that I like”. Later on 8-11 Christians [2 sisters] somehow all circled up while one of them thought I was an ignorant Muslim incapable of defending my faith and justifying my rejection for the Christian doctrine. I can be very blunt and vague, but when making Dawah I get straight to the point. 4 points I made which she was unable to answer A) Ministry of Jesus in Galilee only recorded by Luke, B) Story of Pharisee and the adulterous women/ Jewish law C) Trinity in light of reason and logic D) Salvation. The only problem was I was the only one, My Dawah pal is sick and the rest were in class, however I was confident in my points and my defence of Islam. The discussion turned out really nicely but I was slightly offended by the absurd and naive points one of the girls made which I did not answer [I believe she realized her uneducated comments] when she said “ What are you saying/laugh”. What on earth did she think I was saying? I said “Jesus is NOT god”. I don’t know how i can clarify and further explain a simple belief Muslims hold. They all then gradually left when incapable of addressing/conceding my points. []

I am not interested in talking about Christianity; my aim was to simply convey the five pillars of Islam. I don’t believe I can persuade people who refuse to use an ounce of reason to be Muslims, so I just do my duty and convey the message and I leave the rest up to Allah [swt]. I don’t find Christians hard to converse with - Whoever believes there is a God usually holds certain proposition about him [ "him/He" = Generic term]. Some may believe one proposition against another proposition or propositions; Belief in the former is contingent upon the latter. The negation there is a God is there is no God. They [Christians] have a conception of God which is not only contradictory but also problematic. YET there are some Christians who happily dwell upon absurdity and contradictory concepts whilst saying "God's reason is not like ours, we can’t understand God, God can do all things" etc. The problem here is they don’t justify their claims rationally but instead on the basis of “faith”. Some of these people seem to be intolerant of any other way of understanding the scripture. They perceive blind faith to have virtue, even when it comes to the fundamentals of their creed. I concede that logic is limited and that rationalism like empiricism and logic alone is also problematic, but excluding and disregarding reason discredits the validity of their faith.

I am at the peak of my patience running out, I have had enough with these Muslim students who are not only ignoring the fact that there is a immense need to Dawah but are also ignorant themselves. Yes you can dress the part but can you walk the walk?

For the past weeks I have spoken to many non-Muslims who seem to be very genuine in seeking the path to the absolute truth. For example I was speaking to a “Brother in humanity” ( who is in my politics class and came to sit at our table while me and my dawah pal were helping a uniformed sister about Islam) He was almost shocked to see our responses to some of the Questions he raised and our understanding of things, it seemed as if he was genuinely interesting in knowing more which is why he asked us not once but TWICE to let him know when we bring in speakers. That felt like a real achievement and I was alhamdulelah very happy but disappointed at the Muslim brothers who are not making any dawah. I personally feel that IF anyone is to hold a belief they should be justified in holding such a belief and should not follow hearsay.

My problem is lack of support. The Brothers are not interested in making dawah and there are MANY people who WANT to learn about Islam but just lack the support and right people to converse with them. There is a Iraqi boy (whose mother is a atheist); this person is INTRESTED in Islam but NO brother has even bothered to speak to him. They seem far too interested in having a fag between their breaks or whatever instead of helping us sisters.

I don’t usually moan about the time I contribute in order to make sure the truth is known to others, but I am extremely pissed off today, I had to CARRY BOXES of Dawah material and A BAG full of Dawah material, My back and leg are aching, but off course NO BROTHER was there to help us. MY dawah team consists of four people including myself. We need help NOT financially but SUPPORT wise. We also have classes and lessons to attend to, we need people to take over from the dawah table, we need people to call other brothers ( SubhanAllah, no sister feels comfortable talking to a brother and vice versa, but there are NO brothers to CALL other brothers so we have to RELY on the non-Muslims to help us out INSTEAD of our so called MUSLIM brothers). I am free from 1pm to 2pm, 3pm and onwards and during Thursdays I have a three hour break, these are the times that I should be taking A BREAK or EATING and doing my work!!!! YET our Dawah team feels responsible for speaking out and defending Islam.

The fault is not JUST of the brothers or youth but rather our parents are to blame (but I am not arsed to talk about them, so I’ll just focus on the students). I just think it’s unfair that the sisters have to do EVERYTHING; although whatever we do our intention is to please our creator and fulfil our responsibilities; however we can achieve our goals in a more efficient way IF we have support from the muppets.

Wallahe, my leg is in tremendous pain ... I am just tired. On top of ALL this I am still criticized. Aaah!!!??@#£$%^&*

Islam was not victorious and successful over its enemies whom were greater in power and wealth by their number but by the Muslim woman fulfilling her duty and responsibility. When a woman is convinced of something then she is the greatest impetuses for the man to fulfil it and likewise when is not convinced of something then she will be the greatest obstacle. Looking at the women of our era, do we see women determined to preserve this Ummah from fina and tribulations? Do we see them speaking out enjoining good and forbidding evil or have they been indoctrinated with a defeatist mentality? If the Muslim women are corrupt then the Ummah will be corrupt. The mission of the Muslim woman is greater than what she realizes it to be; from the western perspective her role will clash with that they perceive as ordinary thereof. But Allah (swt) has regulated her role and elevated her status and warned this Ummah that those whom oppose Islam and are hostile towards Muslims will never be happy with us. Therefore it is no use trying to appease to their standards, instead we should firmly hold unto our faith.

We can understand the state of this Ummah by looking at the role models of the Muslim women. Do they look up to Umm Amarah Nusaybah, perhaps they don’t even know who she is. At the battle of Uhud (one of the battles she participated in – May Allah be pleased with her) she endured 12 injuries. How many Muslim women of this generation are ready to put their lives at risk and protect the honour of our beloved prophet (saw). Umm Amarah Nusaybah protected the prophet (saw) and fought the enemies of Islam on the battlefield 1429 years ago. Unfortunately some Muslim women are unaware of the biography of the prophet of mercy (saw) and as a consequence they are unable to clarify misconceptions/lies/fabrications raised against the prophet (saw). How can you defend that which you do not know? The Muslim woman can fight Fisibillah in different ways, be it physically, through literature, or through her husband, brother, father, mother, sons, daughters. She is the foundation of every household.

Don’t feel compelled to leave a comment, I am more likely to delete it than read it.

There are numerous Muslim Apologists, trying to claim that Polygamy was only allowed for a period of time in order to appeal to the kuffar. But this religion does not try and appeal to others by fabrication/distortation/lies, What Allah swt has allowed we will practice and what he has forbidden we will shun. The likes of Osama Abdullah should perhaps educate themselves or stop spreading their misguidance.

وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلاَّ تُقْسِطُواْ فِي الْيَتَامَى فَانكِحُواْ مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ النِّسَاء مَثْنَى وَثُلاَثَ وَرُبَاعَ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلاَّ تَعْدِلُواْ فَوَاحِدَةً أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى أَلاَّ تَعُولُواْ

4:3 If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.

1.Allah swt is clearly allowing people to marry 1,2,3 and four provided they treat them equally.

وَلَن تَسْتَطِيعُواْ أَن تَعْدِلُواْ بَيْنَ النِّسَاء وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ فَلاَ تَمِيلُواْ كُلَّ الْمَيْلِ فَتَذَرُوهَا كَالْمُعَلَّقَةِ وَإِن تُصْلِحُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

4:129 Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self- restraint, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

If we are NEVER able to treat them equally this means
1)The prophet saaw was unable to treat his wives fairly
2)The prophet saaw made a “mistake” in marrying more than one since the Quran says You will never be able to deal justly between them.
3)The companions of the prophet saw and a/s made “mistakes” by marrying more than one.
4)Therefore The prophet saaw and his righty guided companions are “sinner” whom “erred” and did not follow the commandment of Allah.
5) IF this was a mistake, Why did Allah not prohibit this all together and save the Muslims from committing such a grave error
6)This is blasphemy.

Osama Is trying to argue that the ONLY reason the prophet saaw allowed his companions to marry more than one is because of the battles, it is because the people lost their husbands in wars and there were many widows etc, This is a LIE. This claim has no Support derived from the Quran OR sunnah. In fact EVERY scholar will Reject this blasphemous claim. Although ONE of the reason of marrying more was perhaps because there were many widows. But this does not mean this is the reason.

Moreover if we’re going to say that the prophet “ Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him can be treated as an exceptional case” Then how on earth can we follow a leader/guide/walking Quran ( as described by Aisha) if we’re going to treat him as EXCEPTIONAL?

“No one on this earth including Muhammad peace be upon him can be absolutely fair.”

1)53:3 makes it clear that the prophet saaw does not speak from his own desires.
2)In fact he was such an just man that he said He would cut off the hand of his own daughter IF she had committed theft, So on what basis is Mr-Apologist claiming that he was an unjust man? ( incapability of being Fair = unjust)

"Many a community ruined itself in the past as they only punished the poor and ignored the offences of the exalted. By Allah, if Muhammad's (My) daughter Fatima would have committed theft, her hand would have been severed." (Bukhari, Sahh Bukhari, Chapter "Alhadood")

For the sake of refuting the Kuffar Mr-I-Will-Fabricate-my-book has ignored a) history b) Tafsir c) consensus of the ulama, just so that Mr Sam Shamoun ( a Christian missionary ) is refuted .

This is Reminder to all the truth seekers out there: Please dont take from this site or “Osama Abdullah” These people are fabricating the truth for the sake of refuting and appealing to others.

I will make a video on this on upload it on youtube – inshAllah. And in the video i will explain the TRUE meaning of the aya.
And i need to subscribe again, grr.

Massoud Barzani once said; We know the international conditions and we know that its not possible to do everything we want, or everything we've long waited to do after Saddam, but our views are clear...We want a Federal solution within iraq..We know the difference betweens dreams and what we are capable of, and right now we dont have the power to do anything.

(CNN-Turk 18/10/02)

Iraq is very diverse, both in terms of religion and culture. There are Iraqi Christians,Muslims,jews, bahai's and yazidies.

The Kurds problem is lack of organization and realistic dreams, and most importantly truthfulness to their own country. While the minority of the kurds try to make some changes, the majority remain ignorant blurring the line between religious practices and cultural practices. There are many things the kurks ought to be proud of if we look at history. But also there are things which show the backwardness of the culture and of the attitude of the people.

Some things on Kurds in Kurdistan:

Kurdistan exends from the caucasus to the mediterranean sea and from there to the Gulf. A past of it lies in Mesopotamia, which is regarded as the cultural-religious development of the kurds on all levels splits in two segments, the time before the arrival of islam and after it.

In Pre-islamic time, there were a variety of faiths, which have faded these include; Mithraism or Sun cult,buddhism,mazdaism and Manichaeism,Judaism and christianity. Some of the practices of these religions are still seen today.

There was a Protest today, And i went to Take pictures.

(Check out my gallery for the pictures) Enjoy : )
