The Demonstration in London

bismillah
assalamu alaikum

I just came back from a demonstration in support of Lebanon and Palestine and mashallah alot of brothers and sisters have come. It was great except for a single incident which I will speak of later on in this entry.

First we had several speakers who gave speeches in support of defending your home from Israeli aggresion and then the march started while shouting slogans (which really could have been alot better to say the truth) and holding banners and flags. I have seen people from the street who came in and joined us in our march which is very heart warming. Considering that the march took place in Edgware Road (an area with alot of Muslims (mainly Arabs)) there were people who are interested. Another good happening was the coming of a few Rabbies who were exteremely opposed to Zionism and Israel. One of them even told me that him and his parents left Israel and will only return with a Palestinian passport and never with a Zionist one. What is even more is that apperently they claim that they would be more than happy to live under Islamic rule where particularly under the Uthmani khilafah, the Jews really flourished.

Now for the bad event that happened. Before the march began, during the talks, a brother came up and started shouting at us saying to the speaker (who was clean shaven) "grow your beard first and then start talking about the khilafah"! This was ofcourse one thing among other obsenities he said that are not even worth mentioning. He honestly ruined my day. Your beard is a sunnah and not a fard and it is between you and Allah. Is it good to have a beard? Certainly, anything from the sunnah is good. But would it save the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Kashmir, Chechenia and Somalia? Unless your beard grows bread, bullets or money, then no. So exactly how is your beard related to your work to establish Islamic rule is beyond me. This is even more insulting considering that that very speaker that the brother was shouting at has recently come back from Egypt after spending four years in Egyptian prisons for working for the khilafah there. I wish to know what this bearded brother did for this ummah other than spend his time attacking our party (I was told that this is not the first time he tried to ruin one of the party's activities). What is more was that he wasn't satisfied with shouting (which is quite useless as only the people around him were able to hear him (the speakers obviously used microphones to talk), the brother decided to jump onto the stage and take hold of the microphone from the speaker. Even in the end when we were doing dua'a, he didn't stop and make dua'a to our brothers and sisters being attacked in the Muslim world, he continued to shout and call us kufaar and munafikeen! If it wasn't for our stewards and workers who stood in his path and held him back he would have ruined it for all of us and probably even physically attacked our Egyptian speaker. Nobody was interested in him, even the non-hizbie brothers who didn't agree with us and yet support us as brothers working for a noble cause said that what he was doing is disgusting. Subhaan Allah, may Allah guide him.

The following are photos I took of the demonstration with my mobile phone (I appologise for the quality).

Cartoon: Muhammad al Fatih

bismillah
assalamu alaikum

I am certain my brother A will be very glad to hear that sister Sabrun Jamil has posted a beautiful cartoon on the life of Khaleefah Muhammad al Fatih (may Allah have mercy on him) who opened Constantinople for Islam and the Muslims.

Here it is. Mashallah, there should be more of these cartoons around inshallah.

Sheep Wolves and Hunters - a comment by brother A

bismillah
assalamu alaikum

In the Video Islamia topic, brother A wrote an interesting comment based on his very own experience in his farm (mashallah, I've always dreamt of owning a farm with animals). It uses the symbolism of the sheep in his farm with the state the Muslims are in today. The effect of when the guardian dogs don't do their job properly and the large threat from all around the farm from mountain lions to coyotes. He really paints a realistic picture of the Muslims so it's really worth a read.

wassalam
*****

"I don’t' know if “the submitters” can ever be "hunters of the wolves" without having instead become like the wolves; predators ourselves, preparing ourselves for the fires and suffering of Hell. Rather, Allah is the only hunter of the wolves. Eventually we will, ench’allah, work together to put systems in place to secure our continual protection from “predators” and the protection of those living among us. Additionally, we will then, ench’allah, be able to put an end to their world domination forcing them to retreat into their own lands and learn how to support themselves.

This year I wintered nearly 150 sheep in the presence of multiple mountain lions and coyote packs. My pastures are surrounded on 2 sides by miles of wild forest. Earlier in my experience with keeping sheep in the area I arrived to find that a cougar (mountain lion) had come in the night and killed 6 large animals and wounded 2 one of which later died and the other of which took months to heal. Later, on two separate occasions, sheep were killed by coyotes, one had twin lambs in its belly.

The peoples of the world are the prey in our time and there is no protection for any. Those who work with the system fare materially better and suffer less physically. However, their allegiance, apathy, and ignorance sustain the predatory machine of Western society as it destroys civilization and every remnant of civilized society.

Sheep, by their very nature are vulnerable to predators. They, however, are so very committed to unity, that they are easily protected by a livestock guardian.

I decided to keep livestock guardian dogs with my sheep. The sheep did not except the dogs however, and the dogs did not grow attached to the sheep. One dog later started to kill and eat sheep. This dog was taken up the mountain with the third sheep it killed, slaughtered and disposed of with the sheep. The other dog followed people instead of staying with the sheep, leaving them unprotected. She was sold to a family as a pet. In the meantime, while this was happening, I found a Turkish akbash pup that had been with sheep from birth. I took her to the barn in the winter just before lambs were born and placed her with the sheep at 8 weeks of age. She never left their side and grew up sleeping with the lambs in the bosom of a mother ewe. She grew up and protected the sheep from every predator and continues to do so. She never leaves the sheep and the sheep are never harmed by the predators that live all around their pastures. Predators have been pushed back into the forests and must provide for themselves from the forest, not from my fields and sheep.

Sheep are not dumb, but are extremely committed to unity by their very nature and their existence is molded around seeking after and producing good and useful things (wool, milk, lambs). They do not naturally have the ability to protect themselves well and when they are forced to they do not prosper, so they employ either a shepherd or a guardian dog or both. When they are forced to defend themselves, they are not very effective, become infertile in unable to produce lambs, and produce useless brittle wools. In essence the meaning for their existence is lost.

Civilized Muslim society is like a flock of sheep going about the pursuit of good society, worship of God, and the pursuit of sustenance and knowledge. For protection faithful soldiers and military would be maintained, which may or may not be Muslims but must always have been from the very bosom of the society from an early age. God intends people to be like a flock of sheep, committed to unity and the pursuit of profitable things. Out of this come the beauty of un-perverted civilization including every form of achievement in both the arts and the sciences and prosperity under the wing of God and in submission to him in every aspect of life. This can be seen in the history of the Caliphate.

To get to this point, I suppose we must all fight, first with prayers, proactive reason and decisive strategies to clear back the confusion and propaganda that entangles and disorients the ummah.

Then the time will come to move for the dissolution of the governments that never fostered civilized society in Muslim lands. I suppose this will have to be done through multitudes of courageous people but very little in the way of weaponry. Such is our inevitable situation. Western governments are attempting to arm governments around the world to be able to overcome the onslaught of mass protest and demonstration. They continually support the election of leaders who will fight even their own people to maintain governance according to Western standards. In addition the “War on Terror” serves as a cover for combating the masses in every form in which they might arise. They are the wolves and we are the sheep. However, when the sheep are desperate and see where they need to go, they go there even if it means trampling over the top of the wolves to get there. America and the other G8 nations are trying to see that all Western leaning governments have the arms and crowd control technology to be able to turn us back. I don’t believe they do or ever will.

Hunting wolves is a diversion and a distraction. Muslims fight those who fight against them, until they retreat or are destroyed, and then, they build civilization and employ military from their own peoples to protect from outside threats. Our world is filled with distractions and misconceptions, but if we wanted we could all rise up right now establish the Caliphate and change the world completely in short order. All the periphery battles are not achieving this aim. Now is the time to prepare the seedbed of unified and disciplined revolution across the Muslim world clearly aimed at achieving a unified self rule on the tenants of our deen, referred to as Kilafah. Preparing the seed bed is to lift the head of our Muslim brothers and sisters in their destitution and shame, give them hope and rekindle the fire of Islam and Islamic dignity in their hearts."
