The Islamic Qualities of a Ruler

فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِنْتَ لَهُمْ وَلَوْ كُنْتَ فَظّاً غَلِيظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانْفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ – سورة آل عمران ، الآية 159

وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَى بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ – سورة الشورى ، الآية : 38 ]

قال رسول الله (ص): استرشدوا العاقل ترشدوا، ولا تعصوه فتندموا – الدر المنثور ، 7/357 ، البحار 75/100

وقال (ص): المستشار مۆتمن –  مسند أحمد بن حنبل ، 5/274

وقال الإمام علي (ع) :شاور ذوي العقول تأمن الزلل والندم – غرر الحكم

قال الإمام الصادق (ع): استشر العاقل من الرجال الورع، فإنه لا يأمر إلا بخير، وإياك والخلاف فإن خلاف الورع العاقل مفسدة في الدين والدنيا – المحاسن ص602 والوسائل 8/426

وعنه (ص): من استشار أخوه فأشار عليه بغير رشده فقد خانه – مسند أحمد ، 2/321

كما قال (ص): من أراد أمراً فشاور فيه، اهتدى لأرشد الأمور – الدر المنثور ، 7/357

أقوال العلماء في حكم الشورى:

اختلف العلماء في حكم الشورى على قولين:

الأول: ذهب المالكية والأحناف إلى القول بوجوب الشورى وعمومها في كل شيء من مصالح المجتمع ابتداء من رضاعة الطفل عند اختلاف الأبوين :(وإن أرادا فصالا عن تراضٍ وتشاور فلا جناح عليهما….) وانتهاء بأمور الأمة الهامة (وأمرهم شورى بينهم.. ) قال ابن عطية في تفسيره (4/249) “الشورى من قواعد الشريعة وعزائم الأحكام، ومن لا يستشير أهل العلم والدين فعزله واجب لا اختلاف فيه).

 وقد شاور الرسول أصحابه في الحرب يوم بدر وأحد، وتشاور الصحابة في الخلافة  من بعده، وفي الحروب، وفي ميراث الجد، ونفقة المطلقة. الخ.

 

وقال ابن خويز منداد: “واجب على الولاة مشاورة العلماء فيما لا يعلمون وفيما أشكل عليهم من أمور الدين، وفيما يتعلق بمصالح العباد والبلاد”. انظر تفسير القرطبي  (4/250).

 

الثاني: ذهب الشافعية (الأم 5/18) والحنابلة (المغني 14/26) أن الشورى مستحبة للحاكم إن احتاج إلى الاجتهاد لقوله تعالى:( وشاورهم في الأمر) وإنما أُمِـر بها الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم تطييبا لنفوس أصحابه. واستدلوا بحديث معاذ بن جبل لما بعثه الرسول إلى اليمن فسأله:( بم تحكم؟ قال: بكتاب الله. قال: فإن لم تجد؟ قال: بسنة رسول الله. قال: فإن لم تجد؟ قال :اجتهد رأيي ولا آلوا. قال رسول الله: الحمد لله الذي وفق رسول رسول الله إلى ما يحب رسوله).

 

والذي يظهر رجحان القول الأول القائل بالوجوب، وما استدل به القائلون الآخرون غير وجيه؛ فإن حديث معاذ مختلف في إسناده.

 

 وعلى فرض صحته فلا دليل فيه؛ لأن المنصوص عليه في الكتاب والسنة ليس محلا للتشاور، وإنما التشاور فيما لا نص فيه وفيه للرأي مجال . والشورى جاء النص على الأمر بها كما في سورتي آل عمران والشورى.

Islamic Political Governing System

Despite AlDoDou is not a political scientist, yet he managed to extract the principle of standard Islamic political framework.. This had not been implemented since 1200 years, due to complicated issues and factors in the Islamic states and governing bodies..

The Political framework for Islamic communities:

1. Political Hierarchy
2. Constituency definition
3. Deputy definitions, roles and responsibilities
4. Assignment framework and terms
5. Guidelines of political debate
6. Voting Code
7. Public Officer definitions, roles and responsibilities
8. Parameters of Succession
9. Impeachments

Regretfully, all above are well structured, justified and elaborated in Islamic referrals; but most Muslims; at both ends of Epistemia are notoriously incapable to extract or implement..!!

Nation of Islam

 

He puts brother against brother. Just like the white man did in the Congo. He put brother against brother. Just like he did in Nigeria. He put brother against brother. Just like he did in Ghana. He put brother against brother. Just like he did in Vietnam. He put brother against brother. Just like he did in Korea. He put brother against brother. Just like he did in Cuba. He put brother against brother. Just like he did in Chile, in Peru, in Columbia, in Nicaragua. He put brother against brother.

He plants the seed of evil and then withdraws his slimy hand. Puts it behind his back as though he didn’t do nothing and then he puts it in his paper, ‘Look at how they’re fighting each other. Look at how they’re killing each other. They’re not ready for independence. They’re not ready for freedom.’

Are you wise to the trick brothers and sisters?

Louis Farrakhan

Despite how sometimes he spell swords of wisdom, he unlawfully, he often speak in the name of a “strange” Islam; which amazingly collect fans, believers and supporters (with their moneys) around.. Other Muslims are (mysteriously) incapable to confront, debate or correct the serious illusions embraced by members of “Nation of Islam”..

What a waste of strong determined 50,0000 ones..!!

Regretfully, it is a waste of resources, marvelous men and women in their order, dedication and urbanity; who literary believe in nonsense.. They have examples to admire on civic levels.. They are a ghetto among both Muslims and Blacks.. However, future is uncertain after the charismatic Farrakhan..

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
Glory to ((Allah)) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless,- in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).

Asian Shariah Councils

 

The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) concluded their 192nd meeting on Thursday with the ruling that women are un-Islamic and that their mere existence contradicted Sharia and the will of Allah. As the meeting concluded CII Chairman Maulana Muhammad Khan Shirani noted that women by existing defied the laws of nature, and to protect Islam and the Sharia women should be forced to stop existing as soon as possible. The announcement comes a couple of days after CII’s 191^st meeting where they dubbed laws related to minimum marriage age to be un-Islamic.

After declaring women to be un-Islamic, Shirani explained that there were actually two kinds of women – haraam and makrooh. “We can divide all women in the world into two distinct categories: those who are haraam and those who are makrooh. Now the difference between haraam and makrooh is that the former is categorically forbidden while the latter is really really disliked,” Shirani said.

http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2014/03/15/comment/coucil-of-islamic-ideology-declares-womens-existence-anti-islamic/

Pakistan and most of the Muslim-majority Asian countries have bizarre charters, allowing communities to form Shariah Councils on village level, upwards.. These mostly-tribal councils have no coordination or authorization, yet federal governments would listen to them in domestic issues, and would accept their penal verdicts..

Remember Pakistani Mukhtaran; who had been publicly “Raped” by a council verdict.. In another incident in Indonesia, a council banned women “Fart” while standing..!!!!
Regretfully, this undermines the “urban” efforts to modernize their countries.. No wonder that religious teaching grows extremism or formal one grows secularism.. i.e., British MP “Sajjed” who never been “Sajjed”..!

The Pakistani Council of Islamic Ideology is a “freak” legal body, which insists on “Salafi” doctrines.. It might be leaked news, yet matches their views..

Adultery

 Coming soon

The below image represents the stereotyping about Adultery punishment in Islam

Wikipedia’s excellent brief:
Zināʾ (زِنَاء) or zina (زِنًى) or (زِنًا) is generally defined by Islamic Law as unlawful sexual intercourse, i.e. intercourse between individuals who are not married to one another. This encompasses extramarital sex and premarital sex.

Zināʾ falls under the Islamic sexual jurisprudence of Fiqh, which is an expansion of the Sharia code of conduct given in the Qur’an.

Across all four schools of Sunni practice, and the two schools of Shi’a practice, the term zināʾ signifies voluntary sexual intercourse between a man and a woman not married to one another, regardless of whether one or both of them are married to other persons or not. It does not – in contrast with the usage prevalent in most Western languages – differentiate between the concepts of “adultery” (i.e., sexual intercourse of a married man with a woman other than his wife, or of a married woman with a man other than her husband) and “fornication” (i.e., sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons).

Islamic law prescribes punishments for both Muslim and non-Muslim men and women for the act of zināʾ as interpreted from the Qur’an and the Hadith. In principle it is an extremely difficult offense to prove, requiring four respectable witnesses to the actual act of penetration.

The name ‘Zina’ or ‘Zeina’, which is an Arabic name, is different from this. It is spelled differently (زينة), pronounced differently (either Zīnah or Zaynah) and also has a different meaning.

The Punishment:

Yes, the punishment is extremely harsh.. Why?

Misleading Preachers

                   العريفي ، مفتي الأمراء  والتناقضات والغرائب ، تحول لتسويق السياحة القبرصية التركية

Arifi, the Mufti for the princes, the contradictions and the oddities; turning for tourism marketing of the Turkish Cypriot

He had called on young people to jihad in Syria, warned the girls from being alone with their parents, been beaten in London, KSA Shiekh AlArifi turns to be a tourist guide for the elite that a travel in worldly pleasures and entertainment

 Despite mocking Sudanese and Africans a while ago; there are many of us who appreciate him..

It is no longer a matter of ignorance or illiteracy, as most of the people finds time for online games and chat; but the lack of seriousness and validity of logic system, enabling contradictions, bathos and humor..

How can we upgrade our practice for life, without chaos and exaggeration..?

How deter the Arifi-alikes from contaminating concepts and realities of the True Religion..?

This is a problem of the Muslim communities since long ago, which grows with the complexity of life.. Knowledge of religion and legislation and its application became far from being the imposition of adequacy.. Preachers lead the people using memorization of verses of Quran and Hadith; while possess no intellectual energy to develop religious concepts and applications.. They could not overcome the inconsistencies and contradictions between people and religion, nor between life and religion.. This dialectic had been originated from the nature of religious education systems and the rehabilitation of the preachers.. The practice had evolved to accommodate the poor children, those with weak attainment and the sons of some who find a fundamental contradiction between religion and their world.. Therefore; Muslim communities declined, on parallel to deteriorated religious culture and legislative practice.. In this ill climate, doctrinal and ideological differences threaten the Muslims with their own selves..!!

Muslim world needs and requires revolutionizing the systems of religious education, techniques and governance of scientific research and curriculum

بعد أن دعا الشباب  للجهاد في سوريا ، وبعد تحذير البنات من الخلوة مع آبائهم ، وبعد تعرضه للضرب في لندن ، تحول الى الارشاد السياحي للصفوة التي ترفل في الملذات والنعم الدنيوية
وبرغم سبق استهزاؤه بالسودانيين والافارقة اجمالاً قبل فترة ، فهناك الكثيرين بيننا ممن يحتقلون به كثيراً
لم يعد الأمر مسألة جهل أو علم ، فالكل يجد سبيلاً للألعاب والونسة أونلاين ، ولكنه متعلق باعترافنا بمدى عدم جدية وعدم صلاحية منظومة العقل والمنطق في حياتنا المليئة بالتناقضات والاسفاف والهزل
وكيف نعمل بلا استثارة وفوضوية ومبالغة على ترقية ممارستنا للحياة
كيف نردع أمثال العريفي من تلويث مفاهيم وحقائق الدين القويم

هذه هي اشكالية المجتمعات المسلمة منذ أمد بعيد ، ومع تعمق الممارسة الحياتية ، يتحول الالمام بالدين وتشريعاته وتطبيقاته أبعد من أن يكون فرض كفاية ، ومن هنا يبرز الدعاة لقياد الناس باستخدام ما يحفظونه من آيات وأحاديث ، ولا يملكون الطاقة العلقية للعمل على تطوير المفاهيم والتطبيقات لكي تتجاوز أية تناقضات ممكنة بين الانسان والدين ، أو بين الدنيا والدين.. هذه الجدلية نشأت من طبيعة نظم التعليم الديني لتأهيل الدعاة ، والتي تحولت لاستيعاب أبناء الفقراء وذوي التحصيل الضعيف وأبناء البعض ممن يجدوا تناقضاً أساسياً بين الدين والدنيا ، وهكذا تتضرت المجتمعات المسلمة ، وتدهورت الثقافة الدينية والممارسات التشريعية فيها.. وفي هذا المناخ المريض ، تعالت أصوات الخلافات الفقهية والعقائدية على نحول أصبح يهدد المسلمين بالمسلمين أنفسهم

العالم الاسلامي يحتاج ويتطلب تثوير نظم التعليم الديني ، وتأكيد تقنيات وقوانين البحث العلمي في مناهجه

The Dilemma of Translations

It is not hidden how translation from Arabic into English is difficult and dangerous, which had deviated lots of meanings from its intended concepts into others.. This was and stills, responsible for the divide between the Muslims; Arabic Speakers and non-Arabic Speakers.. Sometimes, both can not communicate, and often step into disagreements and serious demises.. In this website I had used Quran interpretation made by Yusuf Ali.. I had found him the most convenient.. However, not all his work is endorsed by me..
Below is an example of the various interpretations of a Quran Verses, as quoted by leading authorities.. I had put mine further below for comparison..

The Various Interpretations:

Sahih International: Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are [subjected] to evil words. And good words are for good men, and good men are [an object] of good words. Those [good people] are declared innocent of what the slanderers say. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.

Pickthall: Vile women are for vile men, and vile men for vile women. Good women are for good men, and good men for good women; such are innocent of that which people say: For them is pardon and a bountiful provision.

Yusuf Ali: Women impure are for men impure, and men impure for women impure and women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity: these are not affected by what people say: for them there is forgiveness, and a provision honourable.

Shakir: Bad women are for bad men and bad men are for bad women. Good women are for good men and good men are for good women

Muhammad Sarwar: Indecent woman are for indecent men and indecent men are for indecent woman. Decent women are for decent men and decent men are for decent women. The decent people are innocent of what people allege. They will receive mercy and honorable sustenance.

Mohsin Khan: Bad statements are for bad people (or bad women for bad men) and bad people for bad statements (or bad men for bad women). Good statements are for good people (or good women for good men) and good people for good statements (or good men for good women), such (good people) are innocent of (each and every) bad statement which they say, for them is Forgiveness, and Rizqun Karim (generous provision i.e. Paradise).

Arberry: Corrupt women for corrupt men, and corrupt men for corrupt women; good women for good men, and good men for good women — these are declared quit of what they say; theirs shall be forgiveness and generous provision.

Adil Abdalla: Evilly driven women are destined for the Evilly driven men; as well as Evilly driven men are destined for the Evilly driven women – Divinely guided women are destined for the Divinely guided men, as well as Divinely guided men are destined for the Divinely guided women – These are forgiven for whatsoever they unintentionally and mistakenly said – They are rewarded by forgiveness and dignified earning (Rizq)..
P.S.; As per the Islamic authorities, there are two concepts to understand this verse.. 1st, addresses spouseship.. the 2nd addresses Quotes/Deeds associated with people.. Replace the subject words women or men by quotes or deeds, and read it again..

What do you think..?

Prayers & Dau’s Translations

This is one of the most disgraceful issues, as non-Arabic Speaker Muslims are almost barred from tasting and enjoying the extremely eloquent and meaningful Islamic Prayers and Dau’s.. Certainly translating a heartily spoken poetry-alike scripts is a very difficult endeavor.. Yet, it is a core fact within the Islamic faith, whereas lots of the unspoken concepts and epistemic beliefs were carefully embedded within.. This is the true metaphysical or conceptual part of Islam, which had the efforts and findings of Muslim Sufis and Hermits.. Therefore, it is understood how such lack of translation had affected the presentation of Islam among non-Arabs, unless whom Allah swt chose to enlighten their hearts..

 

O’ Allah, make your prayers for the Enlightening of Brightness, the Core of incomprehensible Secrets, the Cure of all Changeable, the Opener for all Comfort; Mohammad; Our Divinely Chosen Lord, His Purified Ahl Al-Bait, and Goodness-guided Sahabah, as many as the count of Allah’s Blessings and Graces
(Interpreted by Adil Abdalla)
