The solution is Islam and the Shariah.
But these people would rather live with the drug problem, gang problem and all these other problems, rather than to implement the Shariah of our Lord.
Our Masājid… Between the Plot of the Enemy and the Crime of extremism, Part 2
By Shaykh Abu Hafs Sufyan al-Jaza’iri (may Allah preserve him)
Bismillāh ar-Raḥmān ar-Raḥīm,
Imām Aḥmad recorded in his Musnad, from the ḥadīth of Abū Umāmah al-Bāhilī, from the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wa salam) that he said:
"The bonds of Islam will assuredly be undone one by one. Every time a bond is undone, the people will cling to the one that follows it. The first of them to be undone is governance, and the last of them is ṣalāh."
The Prophet (salallahu alayhi wa salam) made clear that the bonds of Islam do not unravel all at once, but rather one bond at a time. And the first bond of Islam to come loose, from which people drift away, is ruling by what Allah the Exalted has revealed; and the last of them is ṣalāh. As for the first, the Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wa salam) has been proven true, for the sharīʿah of Islam has been suspended and the Muslim ummah has been ruled by man-made laws that contradict the deen of the Lord of all worlds.
And here are the enemies striving with utmost effort to turn people away from ṣalāh, and the first step of this deception is the war against the masājid.
(Refer to my article entitled: What is happening to our masājid is not random, but rather a planned affair. Written on 6 Ramaḍān 1442H)
Indeed, what the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wa salam) informed of was the very strategy upon which the enemies of the deen operate whenever they occupy a land from the lands of Islam.
Sheikh Aḥmad Ḥamānī, the former and last Muftī of Algeria, said, while speaking about the French coloniser: It was the concern of colonialism from the moment it settled in our lands to attempt to destroy the deen and the language as much as it could. So it encouraged the corruption of beliefs and the spread of charlatanism and distortion, and it prohibited everything that manifested the religious identity, the most prominent expressions of which were the masājid and the courts. End quote.
Indeed this cunning strategy against the masājid takes various forms according to the circumstances and realities to which the enemies of the deen of Allah the Exalted cling:
Demolishing the masājid, sometimes under the pretext that they were built without a permit, sometimes under the pretext that they shelter those whom the authorities describe as terrorists, and sometimes with the aim of expanding urban development. And these measures only ever target the masājid of the Muslims.
What occurred in Ethiopia, China, and elsewhere is of this nature. In China, on 10 Dhū al-Qaʿdah 1444H, corresponding to 30/05/2023, in the province of "Tonghai," the Chinese government decided to demolish one of the historic masājid built in the 14th century "Najiayin Mosque" in that province.
As for Ethiopia, the Addis Ababa government began demolishing approximately 20 masājid in order to build Protestant churches upon their ruins, and this was at the beginning of the month of Dhū al-Qaʿdah 1444H, corresponding to the beginning of the sixth month of the Gregorian year 2023.
Besieging them by the oppressive regimes, rather, they made them an institution subordinate to the ruling regimes, and so they confined the message of the masjid to what satisfies the ruler, even if he were a kāfir.
Sheikh Ibn Bādīs mentioned something of what France did in this regard, saying: The masājid continue to have their doors shut in the faces of preachers and guides, and the Arabic offices continue to face severe obstacles. End quote.
Of course, he means that the doors of the masājid are shut in the faces of preachers other than those who move in the orbit of what the regime desires. So they made the appointment process for imāms of the masājid subordinate to the security agencies.
And to this effect, Sheikh Abū Yaʿlā al-Zawāwī, may Allah have mercy on him, one of the scholars of the Association of Muslim Scholars in Algeria during the days of the French occupation, indicated that the war against the identity of our Algerian ummah was not born of the moment or born of a momentary policy, but rather it is an extension going back to the 19th century. For in the year 1843, the affairs of the awqāf came under the authority of the French occupier, just as the affairs of employees in the religious sector were subjected to it, and that was during the era of "Bugeaud." They also attempted to impose the teaching of the French language inside the Qurʾānic kuttāb, then after that they imposed upon our children the study of the French language at the expense of the teaching of the Qurʾān and the Arabic language.
And Sheikh al-Zawāwī, may Allah have mercy on him, has an excellent article on the matter of the subordination of the appointment of masājid imāms to the government agencies, which I had read in the prison of ʿAnnābah and which is not in my hands now for me to quote from. It is entitled al-Ḥisbah fī al-Islām, for whoever is able to refer to it.
(Refer to my article entitled: And who is more unjust than one who prevents the masājid of Allah from having His name mentioned therein within the series: What Happened to Me, written on 2 Rajab 1442H)
I say: this strategy serves two objectives:
The first objective: distorting the message of the masjid and disfiguring it, and that is through two means:
A. By making many masājid into places of shirk, through building graves inside them and making them shrines for the dead, rather than places of tawḥīd and directing worship to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, alone with no partner to Him. And this plan is a colonialist plan which the French occupier pursued, as it encouraged the grave-worshipping ṭuruq who came to glorify the French occupier, among them the Tījāniyyah. Likewise the British occupier in the Asian region pursued this same plan, establishing the Qādiyāniyyah movement, who were in line with the British plan of lending religious legitimacy to the occupier.
B. Or by turning some of its minbars into minbars of talbīs and deception, so they emptied the masājid of nurturing people upon tawḥīd and the Sunnah, until the description became as the Indian thinker, may Allah have mercy on him, Muḥammad Iqbāl informed: They are raising the chicks of falcons with the upbringing of scavenger birds, and the cubs of lions with the upbringing of sheep. End quote.
And aiding in the passing of these plans hostile to the deen of Islam was the diluted thought that various intellectual schools have come to raise as their banners, the Madkhalī school, the Sururī methodology, and the Ikhwānī path. These we can call the new Qādiyāniyyah. For the Qādiyānī thought appeared in India at the instigation of the British Empire, and among the most important slogans of this thought was contentment with the occupier as being part of divine decree, and granting him legitimacy over the Muslim ummah, thereby suspending jihād in the path of Allah the Exalted. And here is this thought, in its new garb, spreading, sometimes in the garb of Salafiyyah and sometimes in the garb of Ikhwāniyyah, and this time under American patronage. So these movements have become functional movements.
The second objective: expanding the education that distances our ummah from its deen. The orientalist Gibb said, in his book Whither Islam: Renewal and Europeanisation in the East are subject to the measure of the educational system along Western lines and the extent of its control and penetration into Eastern Muslim society. The true way to judge the extent of Westernisation or Europeanisation is to determine to what degree education proceeds along Western lines, upon Western principles, and upon Western thought. The primary foundation in all of that is that education proceeds along Western lines, upon Western principles, and upon Western thought. This is the only path, and there is no path other than it. End quote.
And this cannot be achieved for them except after stripping away the divine role of the masjid.
And whoever observes the scholastic education curricula for our children will observe the extent of the penetration of Western secular thought into the school textbook at the expense of the teachings of our deen.
The enemies were not satisfied with defiling the earth, here they are now defiling the best of places. But Allah refuses except to complete His light.
Muḥammad Iqbāl said: This earth is nothing but one of the houses of Allah, He made it a masjid and a means of purification, and He permitted it to be raised and His name to be mentioned therein. But the Europeans have turned it into a tavern, a house of immorality and prostitution, and a place of plunder and raid. End quote.
We ask Allah to inspire our ummah with a matter of right guidance.
And in the coming episode, by the permission of Allah, we will come to know about the crime of extremism toward our masājid.
And there is no might nor power except with Allah the Magnificent.
In the Seerah, it is reported that Ja'far ibn Abi Talib said to al-Najashi:
كنا قوماً أهل جاهلية نعبد الأصنام ونأكل الميتة ، ونأتي الفواحش ، ونقطع الأرحام ، ونسيء الجوار ، ويأكل القوي منا الضعيف
“We were a people of ignorance: we worshipped idols, ate dead meat, committed immoral acts, cut off family ties, treated our neighbors badly, and the strong among us would devour the weak.”
..... just like the west today.
.....and the Munafiqeen think this is progress.
In this era, Irja has deeply infiltrated the Ummah, to the point where Imaan has become mere words, Tawheed a mere slogan, and Islam a mere inheritance and lineage.
The principles of al walaa wal baraa have faded away, and this ideology found hearts that were empty, allowing it to take hold of minds, hearts, and people's lives. As a result, people abandoned obligations, duties, and Sunnahs, contenting themselves with merely saying: "There is no god but Allah," believing that their religion was secure, their Islam safeguarded, and their faith beyond question.

What they mean by "cooperation" is the police here handing information on Muslims over to the US enemies of Islam.
MV police do not need info on US citizens or US borders etc, but the Crusaders want info on Muslims, especially those who speak against the US-Israeli genocide in Palestine and their way on Islam.
Why would the US military be meeting directly with local councils?
Serious questions need to be asked.
May Allah curse all those who bring the crusaders to Muslim lands.
"Ihdina s-sirata l-mustaqim", the straight path is the Deen of Islam, and the Deen of Islam is what the Messenger (salallahu alayhi wa salam) came with. It is the straight path in which there is no crookedness.
"Sirata lladhina an'amta 'alayhim", those upon whom Allah has blessed. Who are they? Four categories mentioned in Surah al-Nisa': the prophets, the siddiqun, the shuhada', and the salihun.
"Ghayri l-maghdubi 'alayhim" the ones upon whom is anger: those who know and do not act. At their head are the Jews. "Wa la d-dallin", not the path of those astray: those who worship in ignorance and misguidance. At their head are the Christians. Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah said: "Whoever among our scholars becomes corrupt resembles the Jews, and whoever among our worshippers becomes corrupt resembles the Christians."
- Shaykh Abdul Aziz ar Rajihi "Issue of Aqeedah, Fiqh and Tarbiya from Surat al Fatiha"
Last week people were talking about those who play sports over prayer time.
Shouldn't these Shakes not be leading by example, rather than holding sessions over prayer time?
Strange this ad says "how to attain success".
Rather "come to prayer, come to sucess".
Ponder 💭
How can a man who asks Allah in every prayer, “Guide us to the Straight Path” & then choose to walk the path of those who earned His anger & those who went astray?
How is it that he fails to understand the meaning of Surah al-Fatiha?

Shaykh Abdul Aziz ar Rajihi (may Allah protect him) said:
“And those who make Jihād in Our cause”
meaning: in Our path and for Our sake. The word Jihād is mentioned in a general sense without being restricted to a specific type, so it includes all forms of Jihād: Jihād against one’s nafs, Jihād against Shayṭān, and Jihād against the enemies of the deen.
“We will surely guide them to Our ways”
meaning: the paths that lead to Allah, to His obedience, and to His honour. We will make them firm upon it and increase them in it.
“And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good”
meaning: those who excel in the worship of Allah by performing it with sincerity and in accordance with the Sunnah; and who excel towards the servants of Allah through wealth, teaching, Dawah, intercession, or other various forms of goodness.
The “being with” here is a special kind of companionship: Allah is with them through protection, assistance, success, and victory, and the like.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“Allah has linked guidance to Jihād. So the most complete in guidance are those greatest in Jihād. The most obligatory Jihād is Jihād against the Nafs, Jihād against desires, Jihād against Shayṭān, and Jihād against the Dunya. Whoever makes Jihād against these four for the sake of Allah, Allah will guide him to the paths of His pleasure that lead to His Paradise. And whoever abandons Jihād will miss out on guidance in proportion to what he neglected of Jihād.”
In this verse is proof that the one who makes Jihād is among the doers of good, because his Jihād includes Jihād against himself and others, and its benefit extends to others as well.
Ruling on congratulating on the Hijri New Year
There is no basis for this congratulation, nor for celebrating it or speaking about the Hijrah on this occasion, all of that has no basis. The beginning and end of the year have no special distinction, so it should not be singled out (for any practice).
Shaykh Abdul-Rahman al-Barrak (may Allah protect him)
satanic rituals. they think they are unstoppable and have full control over the affairs of the general masses of the population.
Islam will prevail however much they hate it.

Islam is just something to be used by these people to support their Kufr political party and system.
The reality is that they prevent the Shariah of Allah and instead rule by Kufr man made laws, taken from the Jews, Christians and other enemies of Allah.
Here is what Allah says about people like this who rule by other than His Shariah:
وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ
"And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed, such are the Kâfirûn"
And:
وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ
And whosoever does not judge by that which Allâh has revealed, such are the Zâlimûn.
And:
وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ
And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed (then) such are the Fâsiqûn
