As the head of a family largely comprised of US citizens, Imam of Muslims of the Americas Inc; Vice Chancellor of the International Qur’anic Open University; founder and Editor–in-Chief of the Islamic Post; and founder of the United Muslim Christian Forum, I am often called upon to explain Islam’s position on terrorism, suicide bombings and Islam’s compatibility with democracy. The growing threat of violence in the world has accelerated the urgency to uncover the truth of the massive conspiracy of 9/11 that launched a widespread conspiracy engendering “Islamophobia”, which if left unabated, will certainly destroy America and the world as we now know it. Searching for answers to the 9/11 hoax from reliable sources, the research department of the Islamic Post evaluated a July 4, 2011 article entitled, “Inside Job: Seven Questions About 9/11” and a follow-up piece titled “Inside Job:  More Proof of 9/11 Duplicity,” written by an American patriot, distinguished scholar and retired US Marine Corps Captain, Professor James H. Fetzer, PhD, and published for Veterans Today.

Every day, the world sinks deeper into a state of immorality as reflected and reinforced in television, movies, music and the media that depicts mankind’s growing state of disobedience to the Divine Almighty Creator.  The decadence, driven by a rise in materialism, abandonment of the law of the Supreme Creator and defiance of the Ten Commandments, has caused moral bankruptcy that crosses educational, political, religious, and socio-economical barriers. Just as a farmer plants “good” seeds in the earth to later sow a fruitful crop, so should man enjoin good and forbid evil to attain the ultimate goal in returning to Almighty God, a fate for which no soul shall escape.

President John F. Kennedy said: “Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.”  

This quote embodies the true spirit of learning, in that we should be acquiring knowledge for the betterment of society and not the propagation of self.  In America, our current approach to education is in total contrast to this idea, as we have become a society that has yielded to promoting individual aspirations in the acquisition of knowledge.  This trend has served to weaken our society and will ultimately lead to our demise if not corrected.  To begin addressing any problem, one must recognize its root.  The core of this crisis lies in the prevalent ideas that govern our society namely Materialism and Capitalism.

UTICA – The United Muslim Christian Forum, a delegation of American Muslims, were invited as guests of the Utica, New York Community of Sufi Muslims which hosted a  Milad Program at the Radisson Hotel recently.  Although the Burmese Muslims spoke a completely different language, the UMCF members understood the language of the Qadri Order, the language of Sufi love, as they enjoyed the ceremony.

His Eminence Muhyiddin El Sheikh  Sayyid Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani al Hasani wal Husaini wal Hashmi Al Mujadid was asked, “Who is this person, Dr. Tahirul Qadri, claiming to be Sheikh ul Islam?”  His Eminence replied, “He [Tahirul Qadri] is a fake Qadri who came here and introduced a Pakistani brand of Islam.  No one receives this charlatan as Sheikh-ul-Islam. Pakistan is full of thousands of people, like him, who pretend to be scholars and Sufis. They cheat people in the name of the Qadri Order.”

His Eminence Shah Gilani added that Dr Tahirul Qadri had been warned about defrauding the public some fifteen years ago, as mentioned in an article in the New Baghdad.

His Eminence further stressed, “Does not he know that in Holy Islamberg, New York, in the Jamia Tajalli Azam Qadriyya Baitullah, the miraculous manifestation of Allah, the Most High’s, Divine Name, has been shining for the past ten months? Why doesn’t he pay homage? True Sufis are aware of the proper ethical decorum and protocol. These pious men and women know that one’s rank and status will be raised or lowered by honoring or disrespecting the signs of Allah, the Most High. One perfect Sufi guide, who came certified with divine manifestations and miracles, was made Khalifa and Naib of the Holy Rasul (peace be upon him) in his presence, by his hand, in the Darbar Sharif, Holy Court.”

Dearborn –Amidst the backdrop of a media frenzy that once again had Terry Jones at its core, Muslims and Christians stood united in support of one another in an incredibly demonstrable stance against the evil plot to cause dissension between Islam and Christianity. Immediately upon hearing that Mr. Jones planned a protest against religious principles, members of the United Muslim-Christian Forum travelled to Michigan from several states to ensure that the bonds between Muslims and Christians remained unbroken. Many UMCF members were on site and met with clergy, residents and local business owners in an effort to quell the potential clash that the homegrown terrorist, Terry Jones, attempted to create.

The greatest miracle in the history of mankind, a manifestation of the One God Almighty’s personal name, Allah, is still present on the wall of Masjid Qadriyyah Jamia Tajalliyat Azzam in the village of Holy Islamberg in Hancock, New York after first appearing over seven months ago in three dimensional style Arabic script of bright light (Noor). The significance of this event is that it has happened right here in North America, a Divine Act which has not graced even the holy sanctuary in Makka tul Mukkaramah, the Kaaba. This miracle, first manifested on August 2, 2010, is The Almighty’s response to the hundreds of worshippers who engaged in a most intense supplication to Almighty God; and serves as a sign of its acceptance, a warning to the oppressors and glad tidings to the believers of One Almighty God.

The newly renovated mosque, not surprisingly, funded by Saudi monies, suddenly became unavailable with doors locked- relegating the celebration to a meager recreation room.

 

The Milad program was orchestrated by Maulana Nur Muhammad, an American Muslim Association member who was treated  disrespectfully when he demanded to know why the  Holy Last Messenger Muhammad, peace upon him, was being treated in such a blasphemous manner. It was a surprise to all that the program would be locked out of the mosque. A renowned speaker and scholar, Dr. Faruqi, voiced his outrage and gross dismay that an observance dear to the hearts of millions of Muslims would be denigrated in such a flagrant manner by the consignment  of the festivities to the mosque proper.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was world renowned for his eloquent speeches calling for freedom from racial discrimination and oppression of African American people. America and the world owes a debt to Dr. King for his struggle and sacrifices. Ironically, Dr. King’s birthday falls within the Christmas season, as Muslims have joined with Christians in the Glorification of Almighty God and in expressing love for Jesus the son of Chaste Mary, peace and blessings be upon them.

During this holiday season, we proudly proclaim that the key to world peace, and specifically, peace in America, lies in the unification of Muslims and the followers of Holy Messenger Jesus, son of Chaste Mary, upon them be peace. This unity will close the door on war, destruction and disease for the world, and for the American people, who have been pushed into Iraq in past crusades. The Holy Qur’an is the only Divinely-revealed Book which confirms the Prophethood of Jesus, son of Chaste Mary, peace be on them both, his virgin birth and the honor that Almighty Allah bestowed upon his blessed, pious mother, Mary.
“And (remember) when the angels said, Oh Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you, and [selected]you above the women of all the worlds.” –Holy Qur’an, Surah Al-i-Imraan: 42

It is a great honor , on this auspicious occasion of the commemoration of the miraculous birth and mission of the Holy Messenger Jesus, son of the Chaste Saint Mary, may the peace of the Almighty Creator be upon them both, to convey to all, a Divinely- inspired message from El Sheikh Syed Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani Hashmi, Hasani wel Husseini, a direct descendant of the Holy Last Messenger Muhammad,peace be upon him, whom Allah, The Most Exalted, stated in the Holy Qur’an, is a mercy to all mankind.

Beautiful snowflakes descended gently from the heavens, as the first major snowstorm of 2011 made its way across most of the United States and Canada. Yet, this did nothing to deter hundreds of guests who made their way into the Liberty Ballroom at Days Inn Motel in Binghamton, New York; faithful who gathered in anticipation of the commemoration and celebration of the auspicious and noble birth of ‘The Anointed One’, Jesus son of the Chaste Mary (perpetual peace be upon them both), his life, his doctrine of peace and his miracles.
The spirit of the expression ‘Peace on Earth and Goodwill towards Mankind’ reverberated around the exquisitely decorated ballroom as Christians and their Muslim brethren took their seats. In their smiles and greetings, the warmth, tranquility, and love that filled the room was undeniably felt by all.

We Muslims know that we cannot stop the hate campaign against Muslims because the enemy of Islam believes that Muslims have become a danger to their existence. We know these enemies are trying to bring about a clash between Muslims and Christians, but that will not happen. We have read the article written by Donna Gehrke-White and Tim Collie, published in Newsmax Magazine, November, 2010, and found it most misleading and incoherent, written by those who do not know much about Islam. The only thing that is evident from this article is that it is the work of one of the hundreds of hate groups which are trying to bring about a clash between Muslims and Christians. It is the cover up of the hatred felt for American Muslims, be they indigenous or settlers.

Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona signed the nation’s toughest immigration bill last month. Its aim is to identify, prosecute and deport illegal immigrants. Shortly after the passing of the new immigration law, revisions were made to the original version, authorizing local and state law enforcement authorities-including the campus police to question those they suspect to be illegal immigrants and ask that they produce verification of their status.”

Earlier this month, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said new weapons threatened America’s dominance of the high seas and questioned the US Navy’s reliance on costly aircraft carriers and submarines.

Anti-ship missiles and stealthy submarines could undermine the US military’s global reach in the Pacific Ocean and elsewhere, putting carriers and American subs at risk, Gates said in a speech to retired members of the US Navy.

The National Day of Prayer is considered a vital part of the American heritage and has great significance for the nation. However, some now consider the National Day of Prayer, which is the first Thursday in May, to be unconstitutional. According to USA Today, US District Judge Barbara Crabb judged last last month that the government can no more enact laws supporting a day of prayer than it can encourage citizens to fast during Ramadan, attend a synagogue or practice magic.
