Assalaamu ‘alaikum! My wife and I are now in Yogyakarta in Indonesia on an Islamic lecture-tour, and hence it is difficult to write at length. I have received tons of emails – particularly from Pakistanis – concerning Ghazwah al-Hind. My response has been that I am unable to assess the authenticity of the Ahadith. But I have also expressed the view that …

Mujahid Hosein is the son of Imran N Hosein. The original goal of the invasion of Afghanistan was not to drop bombs on mud-huts, or fight ghost-terrorists like Al-Qaeda, or to fight some imaginary heavily-armed Guerrilla Groups whom America needs 130,000 troops to contain. The truth is far from it, in fact that truth has been tainted to the extent …

If We Can Fast For Allah, Why Can’t We Live For Allah? “When I fast, I fast for you (Allah). I give up food for your sake. I give up drink for your sake. So Allah sends a message to him. Every day you’re fasting, that message comes to your… heart. ‘IF YOU CAN FAST FOR ME, WHY CAN’T YOU …

Explaining this lesson one more time It is so sad that the few critics who commented negatively on my last essay on Libya studiously avoided commenting on or responding to my most serious charge against those Muslims who participated in/supported the well-armed and long-planned insurrection that toppled the Libyan government in the capital city of Tripoli. I brought to public …

  Dear Students, Assalaamu ‘alaikum! Perhaps I should take the time to offer you an explanation. I left my home in the Caribbean island of Trinidad more than six months ago to embark on an extended Islamic lecture-tour that will last, if Allah so wills, for more than another one year. And so I am constantly travelling. I also constantly …

وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لاَّ يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لاَّ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لاَّ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا أُوْلَـئِكَ كَالأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ أُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ {Quran 7:179} “.  .  .  .  they have hearts and yet do not understand, they have eyes and yet do not see, they have ears and yet do not hear; …

And so they scurry around in a vain attempt to save themselves by reaching out to embrace the Saudis who are as guilty as themselves in lust for Yankee pleasures. The rich secularised westernized elite who control decision-making in Pakistan’s government as well as the Armed Forces have long looked down with disdain and contempt at scholars of Islam whom …

The reality is that dramatic political change now sweeping the Arab world would eventually facilitate the execution of Israel’s war agenda against the Arabs, as well as against Pakistan and Iran. Islamic scholarship must thread very carefully when responding to urgent and insistent Muslim requests for an explanatory response to the current Arab uprisings. The events now mysteriously unfolding in …

I fear that Israel will move swiftly to exploit to her advantage soon-to-occur world-wide hysterical fear of calamitous consequences of the major Gulf of Mexico oil leak that has already caused very large quantities of oil to flow into the Gulf – most of it still under the surface of the water – with simultaneous release of very large and …

A humanitarian convoy of ships carrying thousands of tons of supplies and hundreds of politicians, activists and journalists was attacked last night by the Israeli Armed Forces in a carefully calculated air and sea assault while the ships (some carrying Turkish flags) were still in international waters. The Flotilla was seeking to break Israel’s three-year-long blockade of Gaza in order …
