OBSERVER ALERT: UN Still Shocked!


By Abu Anas

United Nations' Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, was shocked due to the news of one of the most horrific massacres against innocent civilians in Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has reported that 320 corpses were found last weekend in the Damascus suburb of Daraya.1 The Local Coordination Committees (LCCs), the network of activists inside Syria organizing the revolt against the Assad regime, have confirmed that most of these bodies were executed en masse and some of their bodies were burnt afterwards.1 Mr. Ki-moon was reported to say that the incident was “an appalling and brutal crime.”2 The United States and the European Union shared his shock and sorrow and condemned such draconian measures inflicted by the Syrian regime upon its people.


In reality, the UN is an organization composed of a collection of countries each using its weight and influence within the UN to serve its own interests. The major stake in the UN belongs specifically to the US and other Western countries in addition to Russia and China.  Muslims do not have a considerable voice in the UN and therefore it is totally understandable why historically this organization has never served their interests. For almost 18 months, it has been the agenda of the US and its allies to continue this silly drama of “shock”, regret and condemnation of such horrific human tragedies, while hiding their real goal of suppressing the rebels in Syria by giving the bloody regime of al-Assad ample time to commit its crimes and the political cover to do so. It is imperative for the Muslim political observer to be fully aware of the role of such international organizations, which only serve the agendas of the world powers.

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
