Sunnah Series pt 4 - Umar ibn al-Khattaab Clear Proof of Islam's Truth

What is the Clear Proof?

“Al-'Irbaad ibn Saariyah, reports that the Prophet said, "I have left you upon clear guidance. Its night is like its day. No one deviates from it after me except that he is destroyed." Reported by Ahmad, Ibn Maajah.”

"Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood radiallaahu 'anhu, said, "Follow and do not innovate, for you have been given that which is sufficient and every innovation is misguidance."

(Reported by Abu Khaithamah in Kitaab Ul-'Ilm)

The Sunnah Series - Point 4

“Umar ibn al-Khattaab, rahimahullaah, said, "There is no excuse for anyone going astray thinking that he is upon guidance. Nor for abandoning guidance thinking it to be misguidance, since the affairs have been made clear, the proof established and the excuse cut off." That is because the Sunnah and the Jamaa'ah have consolidated and safeguarded all of the Religion. It has been made clear to the people, so it is upon the people to comply and follow.”

Traditional Creed Way Path of the Prophet Muhammad.
(peace and blessing be upon him)

This Video blog Series will go through the book of Imam Al Barbahaari.

The Sunnah - Explanation of the Creed

"Al-Barbaharee was a Sunni Islamic theologian from Iraq. In the midst of growing innovations and heresies, he was widely known for being severely harsh against the people of innovations or bidah. His books are peppered with stinging remarks that place the Shias, Qadaris, Mu'tazilis and Asharis in an extremely negative light. His concern for preserving the Sunnah, lead him to become increasingly outspoken in his later years, and ultimately led him in trouble with the authorities. He is often remembered by Salafi Sunnis as a staunch defender of Tawheed, and as one who passionately advocated that the viewpoint of the Sahaba or the companions of Muhammad, are a decisive authority when interpreting texts rather than contemporary laymen."

Sunnah Series pt 3 - Companions are the Foundation of Ahlus Sunah wal Jamaa'ah Faithful

Who are the Companions?

“Beware of having bad manners; make your face one face and your call one call. For verily it has reached us that the one who has two faces and two tongues will have two tongues made of fire on the day of judgement.”

Abu Shaamah (d.665H) said,

"The order to stick to the Jamaa'ah means sticking to the truth and its followers; even if those who stick to the truth are few and those who oppose it are many; since the truth is that which the first Jamaa'ah from the time of the Prophet and his Companions, radiallaahu 'anhum, were upon. No attention is given to the great number of the people of futility coming after them."

(Al-Baa'ith 'alal-Bida'h wal-Huwaadith).

The Sunnah Series - Point 3

“The foundation upon which the Jamaa'ah is built is the Companions of Muhammad May Allaah's Mercy be upon them all. They are Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, so whoever does not take from them has gone astray and innovated and every innovation is misguidance, and misguidance and its People are in the Fire.”

Renaissance Series - Introduction to the Clash of Civilizations pt 1

Is there a Clash of Civilizations between the East and West?

Some say that the religion of Islam is in direct opposition to modernity or civilized society. This is obviously a gross misunderstanding of the situation.

Is it possible to raise a new generation of Muslim leaders that are able to express themselves and represent their community in the United States. Not only is it possible but it is imperative. We are in dire need for a new group of individuals to rise up from the masses. A group that is determined to reconcile and mediate conflicts here in the west and all over the globe. I am not referring to a specific group or organization but a general collective attitude that leads to positive changes.

Can we create a new generation of leaders who are well educated, well read, and cultured. A Renaissance Generation to open new doors of opportunity.

The Renaissance Series - Introduction part 1

According to many in the faith based community we are facing the End of Days.

However the role of the faithful is always to encourage the positive activity of their congregates.

This Video blog Series will go through the thought and pondering of a new Renaissance.

Do you have thoughts or comments and questions about the new Renaissance? Please post your comments.

Could Mitt Romney be the Best Candidate For President to Unite the Republican GOP?

Why Romney may be the Best thing for the Republican Party!

Mitt Romney has been running and running hard in this election so far. The press and the media have constantly made it clear that they don’t think that Romney can get the nomination. Currently he has the most delegates in the early races. Romney makes the racing analogy going with his references to silver and gold medals. No doubt a Not So Subtle reminder of the Utah Olympic mess that Romney cleaned up.

The point being Romney is out there every day running and trying in the states many of the other candidates are not even showing up in. In a world of 24  hour news and live bloggers, people like Rudy Giuliani are so out of the public dialog that you may think that was a different election that Rudy was in! NOT Romney. He is running in the race.

The press goes on to say, that he is running like that because he has the finances to keep doing it! Touche. Money makes the world go round! Yet as money and the economy become the most important issue to the electorate, we start to wonder why Romney is not taken more seriously.

For the last few weeks we have been seeing Mitt Romney with no tie and his sleeves rolled up. We are probably going to see a lot more businessman attire from now on. The major asset Romney has is his financial background. Yet he still is not getting the general support of the GOP. Why?

Mitt Romney is a Mormon. The issue of the evangelicals has become a major factor in the GOP. It is the reason why Huckabee is currently doing so well. For Mitt Romney, it has been the underlying doubt that continues to plague him. He has tried to address the issue. Even having former President George Bush Senior, introduce him for that monumental address on religion.

If you look at the current cast of the Republican Party, you do not find a very good candidate with Christian Values. Here is where the rub is! Mormons aren’t Christians.

Shooshhh…

Yet if we look at Mitt Romney’s positions on many of the social issues that are important to evangelicals, the Mormons share those same religious conservative values. Being a Muslim, I can easily say that Muslims share many of the conservative values. Issues such as those relating to abortion, and family values, or the homosexual agenda are areas of commonality between these groups.

Mitt Romney is a good candidate when it comes to executive ability, and when it comes to personal character, or family values. So the issue of his specific faith is what causes the evangelical right to stay away. Bigotry? As a Muslim in America, I feel Romney’s pain. Not that he feels mine!

Romney can unite the GOP in a strange way because he would have the support of financial upper class republicans and would also appeal to the social values of the conservatives. While being able to stay away from the negative extremist evangelical image of the “old” GOP. Has the Republican Party "EVOLVED" enough to accept a Mormon?

What does Romney do moving forward? As much as he can he has to promote new ides and programs. He should easily be able to talk about the ways to financially stimulate the US economy. He should be able to come up with new ideas to reveal along the campaign. Actual programs to promote to the financial growth of the country.

As to the national security concerns he has to take a very responsible position towards conflict resolution, economic trade and business development over seas. He can not run against McCain as the military wing of the Republican nominees. He has to continue to remain hard on terrorism, while toning back his rhetoric on Jihadism or Islamism. He has to be willing to talk about returning to the George Bush Senior foreign policy.

But without saying George Bush!

Could Mitt Romney be the best candidate to unite the Republican Party? I have a hard time not admiring everything that Patrick Buchanan ever says. With his sister Bay Buchanan being highly involved in the Mitt Romney campaign and the entire personal funds Romney has committed with, I would not bet against him!

He really does look like he came from "Central Casting"

Could Mitt Romney be the Best Candidate For President to Unite the Republican GOP?

The War on Terror in Pakistan after Benazir Bhutto Assassination: US Foreign Policy

Listen to the Show

After Midnight With Rick Barber (PODCAST)
Many people are asking how we handle the War on Terror in Pakistan after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

The west looked like they were about to support Bhutto in full swing. All respect of Pervez Musharraf the former ally in the War on Terror was gone. With THE General declaring de facto Marshall Law in the last few months it was hard to show sympathy for his cause anymore.

Who is our "Ally" in Pakistan currently. Was it the girl that we came to the dance with?

After 9/11 we forced Musharraf to be our Ally. He accepted !

He did not want to go into the tribal areas for us and round up all the "Usual Suspects", but he was keeping things fairly calm in a destabilized part of the world, while the US Ally was engaged in endless battle in Afghanistan and Iraq.

As soon as another girl walked into the dance, we dropped Musharraf like an old HAG and went for the new Girl!

But, Wait...the new Girl, was the old Girl.

And she was not even that good the last time.

Maybe we should have stayed with the Girl that we started this dance with...?

The Proposal: How We Stop the War on Terror with Islam. Part 1

How to Stop the War on Terror Series

The Goal

Everyday there is a story about Islam and the Muslim community. All over the country and the world there are stories breaking everyday. Yet the overall Muslim community in the United States is extremely lacking in representatives who can communicate their views in a coherent and meaningful way. The best way for integration and change to occur is for Muslims to be active from within their own community to better portray and explain their views and opinions.

The goal: to find alternative ways to communicate and increase the diversity of opinions available by networking of individuals in the United States and elsewhere that can be trained and organized to be effective communicators for the Muslim world.

Implementation Areas

Viral Internet Content:

With the changes in technology it is becoming increasingly clear that more and more people are getting their opinions, and forming their religious and political views from the content on the internet. Even though many people still go and sit with a local Sheikh or Imam, the next generation of Muslims is getting a lot of their information from online content. Even amongst “radicals” or “extremists” as the terms may apply, the content they are viewing is online. Many times there is no direct content between those that react violently and any other organizations or Terrorist entities. Therefore, the necessity to provide positive alternative content, both audio and video, to help diversify the online Islamic content, is clear.

The Friday Khutbah (Sermon)

The key to change in any Muslim community is a better message from the pulpit on Friday. The position of the sermon in Islam is highly respected. The stature of the person who is able to command the pulpit is paramount. Generally speaking those that promote an integration model are considered by most, to be non-practicing or not authorities in religious matters and unworthy of the pulpit. Creating a new generation of Speakers that are qualified religiously to give a sermon and can be taken as authority from the community are the keys to changing the message the community hears.

Public Relations (PR) and the Media

Currently there are only a few organizations that are able to handle themselves with the Media and who can appear relevant as subject matter experts in the US Muslim community. There is a need to organize and develop individuals who can appear as experts in various fields. Daily there is a need for guests on TV for commenting on news stories. There are radio stations talking about Islam from both the left and the right, generally without any contribution form the Muslim community. Many organizations are looking for these Muslim individuals from Think Tanks, and expert witnesses for court, to poets and artists for entertainment.

Community Services

The Muslim community all across the country is in need of services. By helping individuals on a community level to better themselves you create and foster an environment of positive social change. There is a need to provide conflict resolution services for the community. Mediation of disputes, pre-marital and marital counseling, divorce prevention and support, youth leadership and entrepreneurship are just a few. By providing services and training we help alleviate the stresses of life for the community. People who are actively involved in self improvement do not resort to acts of desperation.

Concerns

The issue of concern is always what form of Islam is going to be promoted. There is a general misunderstanding amongst many people in the United States that there are forms of Islam. How do you stop the radicals from spreading their message? You can not control the information available. The best way is to develop a better message and provide more services. To spread many different opinions from various people and let the value of the content drive the information. By promoting alternative forms of information and content you provide the opportunity for young and old to have grater choice in what they chose to adhere to. Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Press. Freedom Religion. This is the American method, with the belief that if many alternatives are available, the messages of the extremists hurting Islam will be diluted.

Social Networks and Viral Internet to End the War on Terror. Part 2

This is part of the How to Stop the War on Terror Series

Implementation Areas

 

Viral Internet Content

Currently there are not many organizations or individuals creating alternative content online for the Muslim community. There is a need to produce content. From infotainment mainstream programming to political commentary and comedy, we need to broaden the horizons of Muslim awareness. Recently CBC in Canada has just produced and run a show about Muslim issues. The show, Little Mosque on the Prairie, by Zarka Nawaz has gotten a lot of viewers and has been picked up for another season.

Current Projects

1. Zaynab TV

Zaynab TV is an online viral programming show that will be created to deal with real life issues being faced by mainstream Muslims in America. This will be the initial project and will generate a lot of viral support. The viral internet content will generate networks of fans and viewers in the United States and around the world. This can then become a catalyst for other content to be created.

Currently the project is in need of funding. The producers and writers are already on board and the first four episodes are written. Sample trailers have been made and can be viewed on line. The model for this project is similar to that of PromQueen TV.

Zaynab TV Series Trailer

2. HotConflict.com

This an online audio and video blog dealing with the News, Pop-culture and Politics from a Muslim point of view. The key to this content is to be like a shock jock alternative commentator of current events.

www.HotConflict.com

Other audio and video content would need to be further developed. Another example of content currently being created out of Australia is Salam Café. A panel talk show format similar to many here in the west like The View, where Muslims talk about various issues, is something yet to be developed in the United States.

Friday Sermon Tour

The key to change in any Muslim community is a better message from the pulpit on Friday. The position of the sermon in Islam is highly respected. The stature of the person who is able to command the pulpit is paramount. Generally speaking those that promote an integration model are considered by most, to be non-practicing or not authorities in religious matters and unworthy of the pulpit. Creating a new generation of Speakers that are qualified religiously to give a sermon and can be taken as authority from the community are the keys to changing the message the community hears.

1. Friday Sermons

Start conducting sermons and promoting positive social change from the pulpit. The Khutbah Tour will be conducted by trained speakers who can deliver a positive message and promote Islamic values. These sermons will be geared towards getting community involvement in all aspects of integration into society. This message has to be Islamically based and focus on active participation, delivered with subtlety of a master!

1. National Tour

The Tour will be combined with other promotional events in major cities across the United States. This will cross promote the concepts in person with the viral internet content. Fans of the various websites will be able to meet those involved with the Zaynab TV show and producers of HotConflict.com.

Initial plan is for 12-15 cities to be included in the Tour in the first year.

3. Lecture Series

Friday nights in the Masjid are usually a gathering night for the community. Families come to listen to guest lecturers and possibly share meals with family and friends. This will be incorporated as a part of the tour and the Guest speaker will conduct a lecture on positive social change and identify leaders and begin the process of creating a network of positive change agents in each individual community.

4. Audio and Video content

The Sermon and Lectures will be recorded and available to be streamed on iPods for users as well as being available to listen and watch anytime online. There will also be interviews and commentary by community members all over the country to be added to online content as testimonials.

How to Stop the War on Terror Series

Public Relations and the Media

 

The key to changing the communications environment is not merely to identify the right individuals, but to help brand and promote them in their respected fields. It is important for the Muslim community to develop role models. These have to be individuals that are experienced in their area and actively participating in social change. Many times, there are great individuals with personality and talent available, but they lack infrastructure, organization, and funding, to market themselves correctly.

 

With correct branding and internet marketing, we can help promote these individuals and allow them the opportunity to become well know subject matter experts in their respected fields.

 

1. Making sure that the individuals are encouraged to Publish, will mean a combination of efforts.

-Publishing a blog or articles online in their area of focus.

-Access to ghost writers and publicity professionals and agents for Books.

-Submitting articles to trade journals and magazines.

-Create the genre of religious fiction and comics or Manga content.

 

2. Marketing experts to appear on Radio spots across the country. Talk radio is still a mainstay for the general public. There is a need for Muslim expert opinions who can communicate clearly over the air.

 

3. Preparing individuals to appear on TV. From large mainstream TV shows in syndication to little local community based talk shows. Scheduling and preparing individuals to present Islam and discuss the issues, while making them presentable for the audience.

 

4. Generating an online community by conducting Tele Seminars. With the advancement of technology, you can hold group discussing and seminars live online with teleconferencing and web seminars. This system has become very popular in recent years with networking organizations and network marketing. People will be able to ask questions and the barrier to entry is extremely easy. By holding these sessions online and on the phone, there is ease for the audience to listen and get involved from the comfort of their homes.

 

5. Individuals will be marketed as Subject Matter Experts for conferences, organizations, and other affiliated NGO’s. These will be people who can give academic lectures and appear as expert witnesses for the legal system and the courts. They will also form relationships with the local government and activist groups to help get the Muslim community involved in the public discourse.

Community Services

There is a dire need for social services in the Muslim community. The problems relating to marriage and increase in divorce rates among Muslims is an increasing concern all over the country. Most Mosques are not equipped to handle the kind of social services the community requires. They are not trained to handle
