Text of the page (random words):
ant for the letter of the law if the claimant has rejected the spirit of the law and we likewise should respect that and it s for that final reason that i felt compelled to write this piece respect as muslims we should respect our scholars more than what some detractors and antagonists would like us to do it is a very serious issue to question people s intentions without the full facts or to do so from a position of ignorance of islamic law yet it is altogether far worse to disrespect and question the authenticity and finality of god s word in his final book gifted to mankind to lift them from their darkness into the light of guidance and all because of what because one is being made to feel uncomfortable about the divine nature of one s faith due to the dissatisfaction of those who couldn t care a single jot about faith in the first place that truly is shameful and a measly price and reason to sell one s religion for let me in closing gently remind my brothers and sisters of what allāh jalla wa alā told the jewish nation in the verse preceding our qiṣāṣ verse that we re looking at which could very well be a wake up call to us as well so do not fear the people but fear me and do not exchange my verses for a small price and whoever does not judge by what allāh has revealed then it is those who are the disbelievers al mā idah 44 by umm maymoonah no comments monday 16 august 2010 in memoriam faraj hassan alsaadi extremely tragic and shocking news faraj hassan alsaadi former prisoner and haafidh ul qur aan who led the qiyaam outside the us embassy last night and spoke at the jfac rally was killed in a motorcycle accident at 9am this monday morning inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raji oon thinking of lessons from the death of faraj hassan written by asim qureshi monday 16 august 2010 the tragic death of our brother faraj hassan has left me with much to think about i cannot sleep with thoughts of our brother faraj hassan in my head the reality is that this world has lost someone who was truly incredible patient in adversity and strong in his response from a wordly perspective there is much to weep for as we think of a young man of 30 years only a little older than myself who left behind his wife and three very young children the family will have to gone on without him after having endured every single hardship with him they have been given another hardship which they will have to face without him his family were with him as he was placed under detention without charge then put forward for extradition followed by a deportation order to libya then on control orders and finally also subjected to financial sanctions the family had survived almost the full range of counter terrorism measures that any individual could potentially be subjected and yet they beat every single thing the government could throw at them as they maintained faraj s innocence subhanallah he beat it all with the aid and assistance of allah swt it was only a matter of about 8 months ago that faraj as finally released from his control order and allowed to walk a free man instead of walking away and building a new life for himself faraj immediately immersed himself in issues relating to the treatment of detainees in the uk through helping the organisation hhugs as well as speaking for other organisations like jfac it would initially seem that there is something inherently unfair then that somehow despite him having endured the pain of so many years of struggle that he would be entitled to some form of respite with his family here lies the lesson though for me that surely then despite our worldly desire to have our brother with us again the reality is that allah swt has taken his servant at a time when not only did he pass every test that was given to him but then went further to struggle for the sake of allah to help others in other words inshallah faraj was taken from us when allah swt would have loved him most inshallah his peace will now be eternal we make du ah that he is spared any form of correction from allah and that he is only amongst those who will be first into the jannah ameen so we find with faraj an example for the way we should continue our work and conduct ourselves it is not simply about standing up for justice it is about having hilm steadfastness despite whatever we are given and with knowing that help will only ever come from allah swt as for faraj he has now returned to allah it is his family who remain and so it is to them that we should now turn our attention as faraj would have told us himself that there is very little you can do for the dead but much you can do for the living i would urge all to donate to hhugs the service they provide those in their care is invaluable and the events of yesterday only remind us of their importance by umm maymoonah no comments the big picture continuing pakistani floods pictures 1 pictures 2 by umm maymoonah no comments wednesday 4 august 2010 girl guides launch airbrush

the satnav in the taxi speaking french you re french i asked the driver well i kind of exclaimed actually yes he replied blah blah blah i didn t understand what he was saying but from the tone i figured he was asking me if i spoke it i told him no and couldn t help myself from saying the first thing that came to my mind usually i think before i speak you guys have just banned the burka i said sitting behind him covered from head to toe no we didn t our government did there were many people against it me i don t see the big deal about it what s next banning the jeans i wear hmm i mused you wear it for your husband no i wore it even before i met him i actually spoke to a governor in my country i asked him why he told me it s because of terrorism i told him how many terrorists do you know that wore one i was in sham el sheikh when the bombings took place there a few years ago those terrorists wore normal clothes so what do we do ban normal clothes i don t know the french are backwards i don t like french culture then the man told me it s to prevent accidents because women who wear it their vision is impaired but really how many women that wear it have caused accidents i tell you none yes i m taking driving lessons i can see perfectly fine i said anyhow you know at least you women have principles me i was married 20 years and she with somebody else while i was working for my family to support them she was with another man 20 years she was english i can t trust english women i don t trust them never again i m really sorry to hear that i really was my children they knew about it too but they didn t tell me you know cause they didn t want the family to break up i understand they were scared but i feel betrayed by them too you know you can t trust english women he talked the rest of the way while i listened about the french about the english about his ex wife and about his children betraying him i found myself wondering if his 5 children were all his but i didn t dare voice my thoughts we arrived at my destination thirteen pounds he exclaimed i m so sorry about that you know the english they over charge for everything a short journey like this and it s so expensive the english they can t be trusted i paid and thanked him and walked away feeling very sorry for a man who had lost faith in a whole society because of the actions of a few by umm maymoonah 1

judith sunderland guardian co uk saturday 24 april 2010 11 00 bst muslim veiling is once again at the top of the news in europe bans on full face veils being considered or already in place whether nationwide at the municipal level or applied in public buildings and transportation undermine muslim women s autonomy and religious freedom arguments put forward to support these bans fall into four categories none of which stand up to serious scrutiny banning the veil will liberate women generalisations about women s oppression under the veil do a tremendous disservice to one of the basic tenets of gender equality a woman s right to self determination and autonomy restrictions on women wearing the veil in public life are as much a violation of the rights of women as is forcing them to wear a veil muslim teachers in germany we interviewed said they wore the headscarf out of choice bans on headscarves in some german states have led many teachers to abandon their chosen profession leading to loss of independence social standing and financial wellbeing it is clear that many muslim women in europe who cover themselves do so out of choice for those who are coerced general bans would limit if not eliminate their ability to seek advice and support it may leave them trapped at home further isolated from society european governments need to support these women with better access to education justice and employment rather than put them under more pressure the veil should be banned for security reasons a wholesale ban on the full muslim veil is a disproportionate response to the legitimate need in a variety of situations to ascertain someone s identity airport cheques school pick ups administrative dealings with state officers cashing a cheque these are all obvious examples appropriate sensitive measures can be adopted to satisfy both the individual s right to manifest her religious beliefs and her duty to identify herself in all the situations mentioned above a woman wearing the full veil can be asked to take off her veil in private bans on religious dress preserve secularism the principle of state neutrality requires state institutions to refrain from imposing any particular set of religious views while at the same time allowing for free expression of religious beliefs within society bans that deny people the right to wear in public places a style of clothing linked to a particular religious faith undermine rather than protect this principle by defining the public space as a zone in which no one is permitted to manifest his or her religion banning the veil is necessary for integration the fact that the children of immigrants and converts as well as newer immigrants wear the full face veil in europe undermines the argument that a ban is necessary for the purposes of integration integration policies that require newcomers to shed fundamental aspects of their identity are unlikely to succeed banning full face veils is likely to restrict rather than enhance opportunities for these women to engage with society as a whole the divisive debate about full muslim veiling reflects the complex issues and passions involved international human rights law cannot answer all of the issues involved but it can help frame a constructive conversation it requires that any interference with rights must have a legitimate reason and be the least restrictive possible it s fundamentally about the role of the state in matters relating to personal autonomy and religion thought and conscience victims of coercion and abuse deserve assistance but a ban is more likely to harm than help them and the convictions of those who choose to wear the veil deserve consideration by umm maymoonah 4 comments thursday 8 july 2010 a new light on the harms of porn yusuf smith a few months ago i read a book called living dolls by natasha walter who argued that the new feminism she thought was emerging in the 1990s had given way to a culture in which girls were being pressurised to be sexualised at younger and younger ages with anyone resisting being seen as a prude and that this culture is seen as liberating when it s actually degrading a new book is released this month entitled pornland by long standing anti porn activist gail dines which argues that people s sexuality is being changed forever by a culture of commercial porn in which acts which are extreme and unusual are promoted as normal and which ruins intimacy and people s relationships dines was interviewed in the guardian by julie bindel last thursday there is another interview with her here and you can find excerpts from it here i m kind of lucky in that porn has never really interested me i took one look at the pictures in a top shelf magazine in the uk when i was a teenager i think and i found it so revolting that i just put it back and put it out of my mind but it seems that what i saw was probably tame by today s standards with boys getting access to the stuff younger and younger and expecting real women to replicate the sexual acts they find in it and being shocked that they do not want to the material depicts stuff which is not only degrading but stressful and painful for women s bodies and the video rather than still stuff often shows the man showering the woman with insults as he carries out his bizarre acts really i m not describing them you can follow any of the links above if you want to know the two biggest problems with it is that it removes elements such as tenderness and intimacy from sexual relationships and that it forms an addiction that causes men to lie and to neglect their duties to their families so as to pursue their addiction as with so many chemical addictions they often find that what they start out on loses its thrill so they move onto harder stuff often involving children mary ann layden of the university of pen...
