  • Why Is the Middle East in a State of War?
    This will be a multi-part series but the answer is quite simple to those who know historical fact from what they see on TV or read in the newspapers. The latest example comes from Syria where we are still told the terrorism that has gripped Syria since 2011 was the result of peaceful protests and a desire for change. What is happening in Syria is part of long-term colonization and a fight for resources which the Middle East possesses. Unfortunately for the colonizers there...
  • The Traits of Successful Muslims
    With so many of the world events showing that some Muslims have lost the fundamentals Iwould like to provide some ayyats that describe the fundamentals of doing good deeds as one of the requirements of success in both worlds and that doing the opposite (evil deeds) results in the hellfire. But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with ...
  • The original bible in Aramaic is reportedly found with huge contradictions to the current Church authorized Bible
    If the dating turns out to be correct this is the copy that the Church should adopt although it is highly unlikely it would be accepted. This copy should be the accepted one since it would be the only known copy of the Bible which was in the actual language of Jesus (aramaic) but since it has so many contradictions it may undermine the Church's legitimacy so we expect that no matter what this Bible will be discredited. A secret Bible in which Jesus is believed ...
  • Xinjiang China Controvery over Ramadan and Fasting
    I am posting this because these articles make it sound like Islam in China is not welcomed or in danger and Muslims are persecuted when I do not believe it is true. There may be some truth to the articles but I believe it does not go nearly as far as the articles imply. There are articles from 2011 and recent that are discussing this issue and allegation. Ifirst of all want to point out that some things do not add up, though in principle I do not agree it's wrong if t...
  • Syria - The Truth And Why You Should Care
    Let's just put the situation in the simplest context and explain why half of the world's account and story about Syria is wrong (you can guess which Staterun media I'm referring to). To put it simply, Syria is just on the verge of being another Iraq (with the new ploy and claims of chemical weapons usage) and likely almost entirely false charges against the legitimate government of Syria. The Syrian people, or at least the majority of them don't want the instability and su...
  • Is it Haram/Not Allowed to read, understand follow Islam by the Holy Qur'an in a language other than Arabic?
    This is the debate that I have been involved in numerous times over the years. I have asked many Imams about this issue and the response is normally the same. The last response I had was that "you get 10 times the reward" for reading it in Arabic without any supporting evidence from Qur'an or authentic hadith. Some people will not even accept any religious debate about Islam when it is done in English, yet the same people will lear...

  • South American, Arab leaders endorse declaration on Israel and trade
    This is a rare but great thing to see so many world leaders condemn the occupation of Palestine. It is unfortunate that with over 65 UN resolutions condemning Israeli actions since 1955 that it seems they still have not complied as is evident by the UN's dismay with their refusal to co-operate. http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/050511/w051190.html...

  • When Government Agencies Manufacture Terror
    This is quite alarming if the RCMP (Police) in Canada could even manipulate and coerce, vulnerable, addicts who became Muslims. A lot of rhetoric calls for "Muslims to speak out against terror and stop it". How can we stop it when the police are the ones behind it and possibly other governments and intelligence agencies? In fact if we look at most cases of terror no one is ever held responsible for organizing or creating the terror. Sufficient investigation i...
  • Fighting Terrorism is what the Prophet Muhammad did and is the Duty of All Muslims
    Terrorism was rampant when the first official Muslims appeared when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)began his prophethood and received divine relevation. Even though our Prophet is gone, we still have the most important gift from him, the Holy Qur'an which remains intact and universal to all Muslims since it was revealed. John Esposito sees Muhammad as a reformer who condemned practices of the pagan Arabs such as female infanticide, exploitat...
  • 10 Steps to Permanently Defeat Islamic Terrorism
    This article is based on the phenomenon of certain individuals and groups specifically seeking to stop or defeat Islamic terrorism. First and foremost shouldn't all terrorism be stopped regardless of ethnic or religious background? To suggest that terrorism is perpetrated by specific religions or groups only encourages others to engage in it especially if they feel no one is paying attention because they are of a different background. In fact if we look past judging what i...
  • Why do Muslims come to our country?
    Yes, it's 2017 and this is really a serious question for many in the West, especially Europe and the USA. The last time a similar question was raised, we had the holocaust, millions of lives were lost and the displacement caused a ripple effect in the middle east causing millions more to suffer and perish. So things are not looking too bright but this is an opportunity to educate those who were not aware of the reality for many Muslim countries for decades and longer in recent h...
  • Secret Counsels against Islam will not succeed
    This is section 17 from Surah 4 and is talking about the secret plans of the hypocrites of Islam. The Qur'an states that some of them plot to lead the Muslim community astray but that their plans will be of no use in the end (to Muslims who believe and follow according to what Allah has revealed). But for the Grace of Allah to thee and his Mercy, a party of them would certainly have plotted to lead thee astray. But (in fact)...

    No prophet could (ever) be false to his trust. If any person is so false, He shall, on the Day of Judgment, restore what he misappropriated; then shall every soul receive its due,- whatever it earned,- and none shall be dealt with unjustly. - 3:161 (Y. Ali) We see it again in the next ayyat that being a good Muslim goes hand in ...
  • The Qur'an Teaches Us Discipline and Handling Issues Amicably
    In just one verse/ayyat the Qur'an teaches us how to conduct ourselves which in my interpretation is the following To spend in charity and to help others (zakkat) as much as you can even during times of hardship. To make peace in life and with others and to handle issues with grace, fairness and calmness (without anger) and to forgive and pardon as much as possible. To ask for forgiveness from Allah and make amends if you have done something wron...

    This article is meant to educate and inform the readers about history and facts about Saudi Arabia's history and current events that affect both non-Muslims and Muslims around the world. Saudi Arabia is home to the world's holiest cites in Mecca and Medinah and should above all be held to the highest standard of Islam and for mankind, but has failed completely on all levels to follow the Qur'an and to be a peaceful and positive force in both the non-Muslim and Muslim world that we are e...

I do not agree with some of the racists bashing Uighur's, unfortunately in Canada there are lots of racists who do not like new Canadians. But what I do not understand, is that I cannot find any solid information about why some Uighur's are upset with China. I have heard the accusations, but hav...

    I am very saddened at the violence in Xinjiang, where fellow Chinese (Han and Uighur) have been fighting amongst each other. I hope that the people of Xinjiang will not fall into the trap and violence that was set by separtists. Regardless of your ethnic background, China has the policy that "everyone is Chinese" and that achieving peace and harmony can only be done through equal treatment of all citizens. I also do not think it is fair to villify Uighurs ...
