ANOTHER POSITIVE EMERGES FROM CHRISTCHURCH MASSACRE! People revert to Islam.


Silver Lining To The Dark Cloud:
Another positive emerges
Out of Christchurch Massacre!

Sonny’s Mother Lee
And Teammate Ofa
Revert To Islam!

(M. Javed Naseem)

“Fain would they extinguish Allah's light
with their mouths, but Allah will not allow
but that His light should be perfected, even
though the Unbelievers may detest (it).”
(al-Quran 9:32)


Sonny Bill Williams is a New Zealand rugby legend … and a Muslim. He is a symbol of compassion and generosity; a true role model for the Muslim youth. People like Sonny are the best source of Islamic Daawah.
Sharing is caring! We are commanded to share good things in life with the less fortunate and the needy. This is an obligation but it does not require you to sacrifice an arm or a leg. Just share whatever amount you can afford to bring smiles on the sad and gloomy faces of mankind. And that sharing is not limited to money alone; it goes for anything that eases up the hardships of others. That’s the human spirit – caring and sharing!

New Zealand’s Rugby Hero:
Sonny Bill Williams hit the headlines in 2015, as a New Zealand rugby legend when his team All Blacks defeated Australia in the final and won the World Championship. Sonny reverted to Islam in 2008. When New Zealand defeated Australia in the final of Rugby World Cup by 34-17, the mainstream Western media never mentioned his religion! He was in the news for giving away his World Cup medal to a 14-years old youngster out of compassion.
The 14-year-old All Blacks fan Charlie Lines is now the proud owner of a Rugby World Cup winner’s gold medal. Williams acted after seeing a security guard rugby-tackle the boy, who had run on the pitch during the All Blacks lap of honor following their 34-17 Rugby World Cup final victory over Australia.

The media never gave any reference to his faith – Islam. Why? Because it was a positive and constructive thing and it would bring only good/positive feedback about Muslims and Islam. They don’t want that! The biased and corrupt media has a mindset; they have an agenda and they are implementing an international plan that calls for Muslim-bashing (or promotes Islamophobia). So much for the Western ‘free speech’, ‘objective reporting’ and professional honesty!

Dilly’s Desk adds:
When a Muslim does something praiseworthy, there's no mention of their religion.
However, when an individual does wrong and it has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, rest assured that "Muslim" will be mentioned at every given opportunity.

The world is waking up to the bitter reality now. The Christchurch mosque massacre brought the humanity together. People of all colors, races and nationalities got together and condemned the Islamophobia and the attack on a place of worship that killed 50 people in New Zealand. They showed their solidarity and compassion towards Muslim community – especially the role of the New Zealand Prime Minister was touching, exemplary and appreciable. She won millions of hearts.

Sonny Bill Williams also traveled to Christchurch to enquire after the survivors and help the victims. It was a demonstration of brotherhood and solidarity. On this occasion, his mother and his rugby teammate announced that they were embracing Islam. Watch this 7-minutes video of Sonny Bill Williams visiting the survivors of the Christchurch shooting.

Here’s the reportage from Emma Land (published yesterday, March 28, 2019):

Sonny Bill Williams' mother and All Black teammate Ofa Tu’ungafasi have converted to Islam
The news has been welcomed by the Muslim community as something positive to have come out of the Christchurch terror attack.

Less than two weeks after the devastating Christchurch mosque terror attack, Sonny Bill Williams' mother Lee Williams and his All Black teammate and friend Ofa Tu'ungafasi have converted to Islam.
Fellow Muslim convert John Fontain posted an image to Facebook confirming the pair had taken the Shahada - the testimony of faith in which converts must pledge their belief in Allah as the One True God.
"Allahu-akbar today! Sonny Bill William's mother and his team mate Offa Tuungafasi accepted Islam. May Allah make it easy for them," he wrote alongside a photo of him with Sonny and Ofa.
News of the conversion has been welcomed by the Muslim community around the world.
"We just simply can't get enough of the glad tidings that continue to come out of New Zealand since that tragic Christchurch massacre," the Muslim Council of Hong Kong wrote in response.
"Though the Islamophobic incidents sadly continue worldwide, there are plenty of positive news too, this being one of them."


All Black star Sonny Bill grew up as a Christian but famously converted to Islam in 2008. The 33-year-old has credited the religion with turning his life around, shaking off the bad-boy reputation he once had.
"When I'm most happy, is when I'm doing my prayers,” Williams told the Daily Mail in 2016. "How can you not spare 25 minutes of your day to give thanks? I look at where I came from and feel blessed."
"I still feel like the same person but converting has given me contentment and happiness that I don't know how to explain."
On the day of the mosque attacks Williams posted an emotional message to social media, struggling to come to terms with news of the events.
It hit close to home for him. When he was living in Christchurch in 2011 and playing for the Crusaders, he and his brother John used to pray most Friday's at Al Noor Mosque where 42 of the 50 victims were killed.

(John Williams (center) poses with Sonny Bill Williams (left) and Ofa Tu'ungafasi after the ceremony.)
Williams took time off from his playing commitments with the Blues to fly to Christchurch to support the Muslim community in the wake of the attacks.
Putting aside what he called his natural shyness he stepped up to be a leader in the community, wanting to show the country "we are Muslims but New Zealanders too."
"I am an All Black and I play for the Blues, but I am also a Muslim. Although I'm naturally a shy person I knew I had to be vulnerable and step up and be a leader in this space" he told News-hub.
"My message is about unity, it's about peace, it's about love, the core essence of what Islam is."

After attending the emotional commemoration in Hagley Park the week after the attacks, Williams visited some of the injured in hospital, accompanied by Ofa Tu'ungafasi who described the visit as "the most amazing experience."
"Am inspired and have drawn so much strength from you all," the All Black and Blues prop wrote in an Instagram post: "May the Almighty bless you all with quick recovery."
Williams is set to return from his hiatus this week for the Blues clash against the Stormers at Eden Park on Friday night.

23RD MARCH: 'First Islamic Republic of The World' Day; Pakistan Republic Day.


23rd March:
‘Lahore Resolution’ Day!
‘Pakistan Resolution’ Day!
‘Pakistan Republic’ Day!

‘First Islamic Republic of
The World’ Day!

(M. Javed Naseem)


****************************************
Creating a Muslim country was very difficult
and required great sacrifices but maintaining
and keeping it as a true Muslim country is a
lot more difficult. There are internal enemies
(traitors, hypocrites and corrupt ignorant people)
who are helping the external enemies of Islam.

****************************************
In the wake of present wave of Islamophobia, anti-Islam rhetoric and anti-Muslim terrorist acts, it is imperative that Muslims change their attitude and adopt some discipline in an organized and coherent way to protect themselves, their families and their properties from the evil Zionists and the corrupt racist Evangelists.

Under the current circumstances when the corrupt Zionist media is fanning hatred, spreading fear and divide among the communities (and certain special-interest groups arming the extreme-right terrorists), it becomes necessary to get organized, even armed, and stay vigilant 24/7. The despicable racist enemy is coward and attacks only unarmed civilians including women and children. Don’t sit back and count on the pity or sympathy of the white western world! Get up, take responsibility and defend yourself. That’s the only way to peace and survival. Military training and one-year service should be declared mandatory for the Muslim youth (18-25 years) in all Muslim countries. Others should get training in civil defense and fire-arms use.

23rd of March is a national holiday in Pakistan, celebrated as Republic Day, not only to commemorate Lahore Resolution but also the day in 1956 when the country became the first Islamic Republic in the world.


In 1930, it was Dr. Muhammad Iqbal (a.k.a. Allama Iqbal) who floated the idea of an independent state for the Muslims of India. The name for that state ‘Pakistan’ was proposed by Choudhry Rahmat Ali in his ‘Pakistan Declaration’ in 1933.

First Islamic Republic
On 23rd March, 1956,
Pakistan became the
‘First Islamic Republic’
in the World!

From March 22 to March 24, 1940, the All India Muslim League held its annual session at Minto Park, Lahore. This session proved to be historical. The session was open to public. It was transparent and nothing was concealed or kept secret from people.

On the first day of the session, the welcome address was made by Nawab Sir Shah Nawaz Mamdot. Then Muhammad Ali Jinnah (the Quaid-e-Azam) narrated the events of the last few months. In an extempore speech he presented his own solution to the problems of Muslims  He said that the problem of India was not of an inter-communal nature, but manifestly an international one and must be treated as such. To him the differences between Hindus and Muslims were so great and so sharp that their union under one central government was full of serious risks. They belonged to two separate and distinct nations and therefore the only chance open was to allow them to have separate states under 2-nation theory.


In the words of Quaid-e-Azam, "Hindus and the Muslims belong to two different religions, philosophies, social customs and literature. They neither inter-marry nor inter-dine and, indeed, they belong to two different civilizations that are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. Their concepts on life and of life are different. It is quite clear that Hindus and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes and different episodes. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other, and likewise, their victories and defeats overlap. To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority, must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be so built up for the government of such a state".

He further said, "Mussalmans are a nation according to any definition of nation. We wish our people to develop to the fullest spiritual, cultural, economic, social and political life in a way that we think best and in consonance with our own ideals and according to the genius of our people".
On the basis of the above mentioned ideas of the Quaid-e-Azam, A. K. Fazl-ul-Haq, the then Chief Minister of Bengal, moved the historical resolution which has since come to be known as Lahore Resolution or Pakistan Resolution. March 23rd commemorates the passage of this resolution.

**********************************
O You Muslim Leaders!
You cannot enjoy luxury life at poor
people’s expense! It’s criminal!
Live simple life and be a model for
others, if you are a true Pakistani!

**********************************

The Resolution declared: "No constitutional plan would be workable or acceptable to the Muslims unless geographical contiguous units are demarcated into regions which should be so constituted with such territorial readjustments as may be necessary. That the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in majority as in the North-Western and Eastern zones of India should be grouped to constitute independent states in which the constituent units shall be autonomous and sovereign."

It further reads, "That adequate, effective and mandatory safeguards shall be specifically provided in the constitution for minorities in the units and in the regions for the protection of their religious, cultural, economic, political, administrative and other rights of the minorities, with their consultation. Arrangements thus should be made for the security of Muslims where they were in a minority".

Nation-building requires
honesty, sincerity, perseverance
and modesty from leaders
as well as from people

If there is a single most important founding document of Pakistan, it has to be this Resolution passed at the annual session of the All India Muslim League at its 1940 meeting (22-24 March) at Minto Park (now called Iqbal Park), Lahore. It's a wonderful idea for all political parties to have an open, meaningful, annual session where real decisions are taken in a transparent and democratic manner! In 1941, this Lahore (Pakistan) Resolution became part of the Muslim League constitution and in 1946 it became the basis of the demand for Pakistan.


To commemorate the event, Minar-e-Pakistan, a 60-meter tall distinctive monument in the shape of a tower/minaret has been built at the site in Iqbal Park Lahore, where the resolution was passed.

It’s time for Pakistani nation
to audit the balance sheet
of successes vs failures
and rectify the damage!
 
Pakistan was created in the name of Islam, to worship God and practice the code of conduct prescribed by the Almighty. After 70 years, unfortunately, we are still far from practicing true Islam and being the true Muslims. In the meantime, those who benefited from Pakistan, they became millionaires but failed to do anything positive for the nation, in return. A lot is still needed to be done, above all, the nation building. ‘Nation-building’ is impossible without ‘character-building’. And character-building is impossible without guidance. And where do you get the true guidance from? The Quran is the best source; the best source of guidance, education, and the best means of character-building!


As the Quran is the best source of guidance, Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) is the best role-model to follow. He showed the world how to implement the Quran into action in real life under any circumstance. Even our Lord Creator acknowledged it:

“You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah
an excellent pattern (of conduct).”
(al-Quran 33:21)

REPENTANCE: Saving The Last Breath For Repentance? Too Late!


Saving The Last Breath
For Repentance?
Too Late!

(M. Javed Naseem)


Allah the Almighty fashioned man with His own hands and created him with love. In return, unfortunately, the man generally behaves with disobedience and ungratefulness. When a man is chasing a woman he likes, he begs her for attention and love. He cries: “Please, give me a second chance!” Yes, all in life, he wants a second chance from another sinful person who doesn’t even love him. On the contrary, God – the Infinitive Love – gives man a million chances to repent and come back to Him. He offers man Guidance, peace, success and Paradise, still the foolish man ignores God; and keeps chasing the illusion in this world.

Sometimes, the question comes to the mind: Is it the same man who was designated Viceroy to God on this earth and the angels prostrated in front of him?


There is no doubt about it that man loves to play God on this earth but he possesses the godly qualities the least. Most of the time, he proves that he doesn’t deserve this status and is not fit for the job. A man should behave like a man and let God do His job – that is the best course. But for that, he should know the purpose of his life – the purpose of his being a man, and not a pig, a dog, a bull or a monkey!

“I have only created Jinns and men,
that they may serve Me.”
(al-Quran 51:56)

Allah has made it very clear that He created Jinns and Humans only to serve Him. And how do you want to serve your Creator? Use your own imagination! And if you cannot, here’s what Allah wants you to do: Learn righteousness!

“O people! Adore your Guardian-Lord,
who created you and those who came
before you, that you may have the chance
to learn righteousness!”
(al-Quran 2:21)


The life on this earth is just an illusion, a play, a game that we have to play in order to get the best for the Hereafter (the next and real life). As a matter of fact, it is a test, a trial, to see how wisely we handle it. If we handle it according to the guidelines given to us by our Lord Creator, we would be declared ‘successful’ and will be rewarded.

“Every soul shall have a taste of death.
And only on the Day of Judgment shall you
be paid your full recompense. Only he who is
saved far from the Fire and admitted to the
Garden will have attained the object (of Life).
For the life of this world is but goods and
chattels of deception.”
(al-Quran 3:185)

When Allah is not happy with man, He withdraws His guidance from man. The reason is that man keeps following the Devil whom God declared an eternal enemy to man. Man knows it but doesn’t want to understand it. He thinks that he has plenty of time to enjoy and have good time in this world. He saves his last day (even his last breath) to repent and revert to Allah. That’s a bad strategy; it never works! When you see death in front of you, face to face, it is too late to repent and ask for Allah’s guidance. The game is already over and you have lost.

“Of no effect is the repentance of those who
continue to do evil, until death faces one of
them, and he says, ‘Now have I repented indeed’;
nor of those who die rejecting Faith; for them
have We prepared a punishment most grievous.”
(al-Quran 4:18)


We are reminded time and again in different verses of the Quran about repentance before death comes to us. Still we ignore it.

“(In Falsehood will they be) Until, when death
comes to one of them, he says: ‘O my Lord!
Send me back (to life), in order that I may work
righteousness in the things I neglected.’ By no
means! It is but a word he says. Before them
is a barrier till the Day they are raised up.”
(al-Quran 23:99-100)


Allah the Almighty warns us in the Quran to be careful and do some good work to get the reward for the life in the Hereafter. We have the chance, here in this world and now, to prepare for the next world. Once the Angel of Death appears before us to say ‘Hellow’, our time would be up; and it would be too late.

“And spend something (in charity) out of
the substance which We have bestowed on
you, before death should come to any of
you and he should say, "O my Lord! Why
did you not give me respite for a little
while? I should then have given (largely)
in charity, and I should have been one
of the doers of good".
(al-Quran 63:10)

When Pharaoh saw the death face to face, before drowning in the flood, he repented and accepted the sovereignty of Allah. That was like saving his last breath for repentance. But at that stage (when you are dying and have no way out), repentance is not accepted. Allah told him that his repentance is rejected and he would be made an example – a lesson – for the rest of the mankind

“We brought the Children of Israel across the sea.
Pharaoh and his hosts followed them in insolence
and spite. At length, when overwhelmed with the
flood, he said: "I believe that there is no god except
Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in. I am
of those who submit (to Allah in Islam)."
(It was said to him): ‘Ah now! But a little while
before, were you in rebellion! And you did
mischief (and violence)!
This day shall We save you in your body,
that you may be a sign to those who come
after you!’ But verily, many among mankind
are heedless of Our signs!"
(al-Quran 10:90-92


Many tyrants, kings and dictators, ignorant, rebellious and disobedient people tried to do that but they all lost. They were destined to Hell. Allah says that “there is no compulsion in Faith (Deen or religion)”. It’s all voluntary. You do it willingly to please your Creator, not unwillingly when you are cornered and helpless.

“Then We raised you up after your death.
You had the chance to be grateful.”
(al-Quran 2:56)

Yes, you had your chance to be grateful and obedient to your Lord Creator but you wasted it!
We should all think about it before the game on this earth is over!

DEMOCRACY & FREEDOM: The Evil Empire is robbing and destroying other nations.


In The Name of Democracy & Freedom
The Evil Empire Is
Robbing And Destroying
Other Nations

(M. Javed Naseem)

US Forces Smuggled 50 Tons of Gold
from Syria with ISIS Help.

‘Where’s our missing $40bn gold?’
Iraq demands return of oil money
‘Stolen’ by U.S. institutions.


“The Unbelievers are protectors, one of another.
Unless you do this (protect each other), there
would be tumult and oppression (Fitnah) on
earth, and great mischief.”
(al-Quran 8:73)

Man is the best of God’s creation but at times he becomes the worst kind of beast who robs, hurts and even kills other human beings for his own pleasure. His greed for wealth, power or authority and control of the world makes him put up his worst face which is worse than the ugly animals. Today’s Evil Empire (US-UK-Israel) is the embodiment of exactly that.

The above mentioned Triangle of Evil creates terror outfits in other countries and then sells the arms/weapons to their governments to make money and keep the country under control. They raise false flags and invade other countries that are rich in oil, gas, minerals, and natural resources; or that can help in promoting the ‘Greater Zionist State’ agenda. So many countries have been destroyed and millions of innocent people killed in the name of peace and democracy. Their wealth and natural resources are being plundered and there is no accountability.

The Evil Empire does not believe in God, the Supreme Creator, therefore, they don’t fear Him. They don’t believe in the Day of Judgment or accountability. To them ‘might is right’ and they show it too. Those who believe in God, have fear of God and always think about the accountability and the Judgment Day. It keeps them under control and restraint. That’s why Allah, the Almighty, commanded Believers not to trust the Unbelievers. They will betray you in every critical situation. The Quran says:

“O you who believe! Take not for friends
unbelievers rather than believers!
Do you wish to offer Allah an open
proof against yourselves?”
(al-Quran 4:144)

The Evil Empire is the modern imperialist state – the modern colonial masters. They are busy in robbing the wealth (gold, hard cash, oil, gas, minerals, natural resources and land) all over the world, especially in the oil-rich Middle East. They promise other nations democracy, freedom and peace but they bring death and destruction only while taking away everything at the same time.


The Bible says:
2 Peter 2:19
“… Promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.”

Psalm 94:21
“They band themselves together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.”

The world and its ‘watchdog’ organizations are just watching and doing nothing. Only some individuals are raising the issue and are trying to demand justice. They are using dishonest and biased (for sale) media to project their propaganda. Fake news and disinformation is in the high gear. The Deep State has the total control of the world governments, their presidents and the prime ministers, the media and their finances. You cannot breathe without their permission.

The Bible says:
Luke 18:29
"You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; honor your father and mother!’”

James 4:1
“What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?”

The Covert Geopolitics published a report on Syrian affairs on March 2, 2019. Here are the excerpts:

From: Covert Geopolitics
US Forces Smuggled 50 Tons of Gold from Syria with ISIS Help

This is absolutely shameful even for less civilized societies. Reports from multiple sources are saying that the US Army have transported as much as 50 tons of Syrian gold that serve as protection and safe passage fee for key ISIS terrorists escaping from Syria, or the terrorists will die.
Knowing that it’s the CIA that started it all, it’s easy to see how those hired goons can be easily dispensed with after the goal has been achieved, or they pay for a more graceful exit.
Deir Ezzor, SANA – A few days after reports from local sources in the Syrian al-Jazeera area about the gold deal between the United States and Daesh (ISIS) terrorist organization were published, new information emerged to confirm these reports.

Information suggest that the US occupation forces in the Syrian al-Jazeera area made a deal with Daesh terrorists, by which Washington gets tens of tons of gold that the terror organization had stolen in exchange for providing safe passage for the terrorists and their leaders from the areas in Deir Ezzor where they are located.
Information from local sources said that US army helicopters have already transported the gold bullion under cover of darkness on Sunday, before transporting them to the United States.
(pic: syria2)
The sources said that tens of tons that Daesh had been keeping in their last hotbed in al-Baghouz area in Deir Ezzor countryside have been handed to the Americans, adding up to other tons of gold that Americans have found in other hideouts for Daesh, making the total amount of gold taken by the Americans to the US around 50 tons, leaving only scraps for the SDF militias that serve them.
Recently, sources said that the area where Daesh leaders and members have barricaded themselves in contains around 40 tons of gold and tens of millions of dollars which had been stolen from various areas in Syria and Iraq by the terror organization.
Eyewitness accounts had said that US army helicopters transported large boxes full of Daesh “spoils,” specifically gold, from al-Dashisha area in the southern countryside of Hasaka. – Hazem Sabbagh
Earlier on, the BBC has uncovered a secret deal that ensured the survival and freedom of many top ISIS leaders and a number of foreign fighters.
Although the Deep State’s attempt to conquer Syria in its entirety was foiled starting in 2015 by the timely Russian-led intervention, the militants have successfully destroyed most cities of Syria to the point that some of its priceless ancient ruins are now completely lost. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of lives lost and millions more that were displaced.


So, while those who orchestrated the conflict are happily going to the bank, the Western population will have to deal with terror hardened ISIS militants that have successfully made it to Canada, US, UK and other EU countries.
That’s the price of being human cattle.
Meanwhile, Trump is proud that all Daesh terrorists are completely out of Syria due to US troops’ fantastic actions in that region.

Remember what happened in Iraq? Same thing! Here’s the excerpt from the AWD News.com.

Top News, published 31 October 2016

Iraq is demanding the return of $40billion gold money it says was stolen by U.S. institutions in the wake of the 2003 invasion.
In a letter to sent the UN sent last month the Iraqi parliament asked for help finding and recovering the money, which disappeared from the Development Fund of Iraq.
The parliament's Integrity Committee called the disappearance of the money a 'financial crime' but said UN Security Council resolutions prevent Iraq from making a claim against the United States.


'All the indications are that the institutions of the United States of America committed financial corruption by stealing the money of the Iraqi people, which was allocated to develop Iraq, (and) that it was about $40 billion,' said the letter.
'Our committee decided to send this issue to you ... to look into it and restore the stolen money.'
Bahaa al-Araji, the head of the Integrity Committee, said the appeal to the UN could help Iraq recover its money by putting its case before the international community.
'We cannot sue the Americans. Laws do not allow us to do that. All we want is to get this issue to the UN,' he said.
'If this works, it will open the way for Iraq to restore its stolen money.'
The Development Fund of Iraq (DFI) was established in 2003 at the request of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), the U.S. body headed by Paul Bremer that governed Iraq after the invasion.
The money came from the sale of Iraqi gold, surplus funds from the U.N. oil-for-food program and seized Iraqi assets.
The money was intended to be used to pay the salaries and pensions of Iraqi government workers and for reconstruction projects.
But last July, an audit report from the U.S. Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) admitted the U.S. Department of Defense was unable to account properly for $8.7billion of Iraqi oil and gas money.
Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told Al Jazeera television on Sunday: 'No one on the Iraqi side was controlling the work of Paul Bremer at that time.
'So I think the administration of the United States needs to give the answers for where and how this (money) was being used.'
However, he added, 'we do understand that Iraqis are also engaged in such lack of transparency and corruption related to the Paul Bremer time in Iraq.'


U.S. led forces invaded Iraq in March 2003, over fears that its leader, Saddam Hussein, was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction.
The same year, the CPA issued an order granting immunity to U.S. personnel and institutions working in Iraq.
After the invasion, the U.S.led Iraq Survey Group concluded that Iraq had ended its nuclear, chemical, and biological programs in 1991.

KASHMIR: FIGHTING OPPRESSION & INJUSTICE. O Muslims! You Have No Friend or Helper But Allah!


Kashmir: Oppression & Injustice

O Muslims!
You Have No Friend
Or Helper But Allah!

(M. Javed Naseem)

“And fight them on until there is no more
Fitnah (tumult or oppression), and there
prevails justice and faith in Allah; but if
they cease, let there be no hostility except
to those who practice oppression.”
(al-Quran 2:193)


Allah says in the Quran: “Fitnah (tumult or oppression) is worse than killing!” But that Fitnah (killing and oppression) has been going on in Kashmir and Palestine for the last 70 years. It is about time that Muslims put an end to it and enforce justice. There cannot be peace without justice!

India is world’s biggest hypocrisy (just like Israel). It is a Fascist Hindu state where all minorities, religious, cultural or even political, are oppressed – even killed with the help and support of the ruling junta. BJP is a racist and extremist party that promotes and sponsors RSS which is a far-right extremist and terrorist outfit. They are killing Muslims, Dalits, Christians and others for one reason or the other. Investigations and research have shown that they were behind Gujarat riots; they were behind Babri Masjid destruction and riots; they were behind Mumbai hotel attack; and they were behind the recent Kashmir attack – another false flag, inside job – just to blame Pakistan of ‘terrorism’ and launch an Air Force attack. That’s a war without declaring war (it backfired though). It must be punished.


The losing ruling party of India (BJP) wants to stay in power for ethnic cleansing of minorities. The uneducated, criminal-minded crook Modi is scared to lose the next election which is due in a few weeks. He is also scared that the new government might file corruption charges against him and his party for plundering the national wealth, creating economic crisis, record unemployment and demonetizing scam. Thousands of farmers are committing suicide due to unbearable financial burden and no state help. In this situation, the BJP think-tanks see only one solution to all these problems – war. The war with Pakistan works for all political parties in India. It always worked in the past and will continue to work, as the illiterate and racist Hindu masses are programmed by the dishonest biased media.

Pakistan has responded on a limited scale to send warning to India, but it is not enough. The Fitnah (tumult and oppression) should be eliminated once for all, if they want to live in peace in South Asia. The time has come for that. The question is: Is the present Pakistan leadership capable of destroying that monster of oppression and aggression? Enough Muslims and Dalits have been killed in India by state sponsored terrorism through RSS. The hypocrite government still claims to be ‘secular’ but in fact it is a racist far-right Hindu government which is promoting hatred, sectarianism, racism, discrimination, caste system. It is promoting Hindutva with the help of the Presstitutes like Haraami Goswami and others. India has become an apartheid state like Israel.


Now, for the layman, what is ‘Kashmir’ problem? At the time of partition and independence of India from the British colonial masters in August 1947, it was decided that majority Muslim states will form a new country Pakistan. Kashmir was a majority Muslim state but its ruler (Maharaja) was a racist Hindu. He delayed the accession to Pakistan. A few months later, in 1948, Indian armed forces invaded Kashmir and captured half of it. Pakistan didn’t even have formed its army yet. This occupation of Kashmir by India remains till today. Pakistan brought the matter to the United Nations and there exist UN Security Council Resolutions demanding India to withdraw its troops and let the people of Kashmir decide their future by vote as to which country they want to join – Pakistan or India. Here’s an excerpt from the UN Resolution No. 47 of April 1948:


Tumult and oppression can only be eliminated by force. It demands sacrifices but it can be done. It’s a long process though. The blacks in South Africa and in the United States have shown that it is possible. But it depends on the minorities as to how bold and courageous they are; and how much they want to sacrifice. If they are afraid of the majority or the numbers, they’ll never achieve success. They must have courage, resolve and fighting ability to take on the armed state goons. They should bear in mind that death comes only once and the time for it is fixed. Why fear then? If they don’t fight back for justice and their own survival, they would be killed anyway – as is being done for the last 70 years or so!

The Muslim believers should get the inspiration from the Quran and from the first war of Islam – Badr – when 313 devoted believers destroyed more than 1000 oppressors. Injustice should be fought back with all the force. Allah commands them.

“And fight them on until there is no more
tumult or oppression (Fitnah) , and there
prevails justice and faith in Allah altogether
and everywhere; but if they cease,
verily Allah does see all that they do.”
(al-Quran 8:39)

 “… and Fitnah (tumult and oppression) is
worse than killing. And they will never cease
fighting you until they turn you back from your
religion (Islamic monotheism) if they can.”
(al-Quran 2:217)


Here is the verse of the Quran, the non-Muslim Western biased media exploited and often quoted out of the context. Actually, the Command came for a situation like today’s in Kashmir and Pakistan: ‘You have been attacked; your families and homes destroyed; you should fight back and kill the aggressors till the oppression stops!’

“And kill them wherever you find them, and
turn them out from where they have turned
you out. And Fitnah (tumult and oppression)
is worse than killing.”
(al-Quran 2:191)

The Believers should know and understand how the Unbelievers are trying to wipe them out. In response, they should also get united, put their act together and start a concerted effort to thwart all oppressive campaigns. Allah has commanded them:

“The Unbelievers are protectors, one of another.
Unless you do this (protect each other), there
would be tumult and oppression (Fitnah) on
earth, and great mischief.”
(al-Quran 8:73)


The Believers (Muslims) should bear in mind that they cannot count on the support or help of the Unbelievers. Nobody would be with them in the fight against injustice and oppression – except Allah. If they have faith, they will succeed. Here’s what Allah the Almighty promised to Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.):

“O Prophet! Rouse the Believers to the fight.
If there are twenty amongst you, patient and
persevering, they will vanquish two hundred;
if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand
of the Unbelievers; for these are a people
without understanding.”
(al-Quran 8:65)


O Muslims! Count on yourselves, on your Faith and the Mercy & Grace of Allah in your noble mission. Don’t count on any help from the Unbelievers. Allah told you clearly in the Quran:

“They will not find that they have any
friend or helper other than Allah.”
(al-Quran 33:17)

”You cannot escape in the earth, for
besides Allah you have no protecting
friend nor any helper.”
(al-Quran 42:31)
