The Insignificant Settlement of Danish Newspaper Politiken, the Hateful Criticism and the Fraudulent Cheers

In light of the settlement between some Muslim organisations and Politiken on the reprinting of the hateful cartoons of the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, the following points should be clarified:

Firstly: The settlement includes a pseudo-apology in which Politiken doesn't apologize for the insult of the Messenger, but for the sore and pain caused to the Muslims by the insult. At the same time the newspaper reserves the right to repeat the same insult as the newspaper insists on what it describes as "the right to reprint the cartoons"! In return, Politiken has demanded that the Muslim organisations abandon prosecuting the newspaper. This ridiculous apology equals saying to a man after beating him: "I will not apologise for beating you, but for the pain that arose subsequently. And moreover, I reserve the right to beat you again, when it suits me. As a condition, you will not get my apology unless you cease to complain about my beating!"

Secondly: The subsequent criticism of this settlement from the Danish media and politicians confirm their fierce hatred for Islam and the vast disregard of the feelings of the Muslims. And it reminds us that the hateful cartoons of the Messenger came a few days after the Minister of Culture encouraged cultural people and artists to insult the Qur'an and the honored Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم! Hence, the cartoons at the time were a culmination of the hateful strategy, which Western media and politicians led against the Muslims under the shadow of the war against "terror"!
Thirdly: Because of the treacherous regimes in the Islamic world, who remain passive towards the repeated insults to the sanctities of the Muslims and towards the persistent aggression against the Muslims, every hateful soul has the audacity to insult the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. This crowd of wretched rulers has thus brought forth a humiliating state, which makes some Muslims satisfied with a pseudo-apology coupled with absurd reservations! Worse still is that some shameless Muslims praise and rejoice over this pointless settlement in order to legitimise their cooperation with hateful Western politicians and institutions! While politicians repeat phrases such as "freedom of expression must not be compromised", which means that the insults towards the Messenger should continue without prejudice, these Muslims claim that the settlement confirms that the way forward is dialogue and cooperation with hateful politicians, who are also taking part in the aggression against the Muslims in Afghanistan at the moment!

Finally, we Muslims should know that the insult towards the Messenger is not resolved through conciliation with media, which reserves "the right" to repeat the insult. On the contrary, it must be resolved through the establishment of the Khilafah-State, which has the capacity to put a final end to the repeated insults to the sanctities of Muslims. The Khilafah-State, that begins with showing recognition of the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم by implementing the Shari'ah, which he conveyed. It is now clear that the trade boycott, demonstrations, protests and condemnations of the Muslims at best result in a pseudo-apology with absurd reservations! Because there are some hateful and arrogant enemies who only understand the language of force! And effective sanctions against the enemies of the Muslims, be they political, economic or military sanctions, can only be achieved by the presence of the Islamic Khilafah-State. We therefore call on the Muslims and especially the powerful among them to cooperate with Hizb ut-Tahrir to overthrow the regimes in the Islamic world and establish the shield, Khilafah-Rashidah, which protects our sanctities, implements the Shari'ah of the Messenger and puts an end to the violations, which the Islamic nation is continuously experiencing.

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider His law regard

Q&A: Age of separating children in the beds?

Question: Please explain the hukm regarding separation of children in their beds. At what age is separation an obligation upon the parents? Also can a parent sleep in the same bed as their child? Answer: 1- With regards to separating children in their beds, it is clear that the separation which is obligatory is when they reach the age of 7 and not since their birth. This is due to the hadith reported by Daarqutni and al-Hakim from the Messenger (saw) who said: When your children reach the age of 7 then separate their beds and when they reach 10 beat them if they do not pray their salah.’ This is also due to what has been narrated by al-Bazzar on the authority of Abi Rafi’ with the following wording: ‘We found in a sheet near the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he died on which the following was written: Separate the beds of the slave boys and girls and brothers and sisters of 7 years of age.’ The two hadiths are texts on the separation of children when they reach the age of 7. As for the

Please refer to the original Arabic for exact meanings. Question: What is the Shari’ ruling in singing or listening to songs?  What is the hukm of using musical instruments and is its trade allowed? I request you to answer in detail with the evidences? Answer: The Imams ( Mujtahids ) and the jurists have differed on the issue of singing and they have varying opinions such as haraam (prohibited), Makruh (disliked) and Mubah (permissible), the ones who have prohibited it are from the ones who hold the opinion of prohibition of singing as a trade or profession, and a similar opinion has been transmitted from Imam Shafi’i, and from the ones who disliked it is Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who disliked the issue and categorised its performance under disliked acts, a similar opinion has been tran
