The Legitimacy of ECOWAS Military Intervention in Mali

As-Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi,

Although as Muslims we do not recognize the authority of the Kuffar and their self-fashioned ‘rules of law’, it is important to acknowledge when they themselves ignore their own stated policies and laws when it suits their agenda. It is precisely because of the abuses possible in man-made laws and the lack of consistency, morality, and accountability in such laws that they can never achieve the justice they pretend to procure for the people under their jurisdiction.

So it is in this vain that we look at the threat of ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) military action in Mali in terms of its legality and legitimacy.

Houla Syria Massacre

As-Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi,

Imran Hosein and other conspiracy theory nutjobs had better retract their statements regarding the FSA and Syrian opposition being ‘terrorists’. That would be better for their credibility and their Akhirah most importantly.

With the latest massacre in Houla and Syrian state TV trying to blame al-Qaeda for artillery and tank fire on the town for over 12 hours through the night, the rhetoric and lies are getting ridiculous.

ECOWAS & Mali Yet to Come to Terms with Reality

As-Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi,

Mali government rejects north’s independence – Africa – Al Jazeera English.

The above report has a former female ‘mayor’ from one of the northern Mali towns now within the borders of the independent Islamic State of Azawad wherein she states the very words of apostasy that ring out among the Hypocrites whenever actual Muslims fulfill the mandates of the religion- ‘we do not want Shari’ah’.

What people should know is that once the words ‘we do not want Shari’ah’ ring out from Hypocrities, they actually become Kuffar.

Introduction to Sahih Muslim

As-Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi,

I am very happy to share with you my translation of Muqaddimah Sahih Muslim. It is a parallel English-Arabic translation. For the translation I relied on the comprehensive 1,000 page Sharh authored by Muhammad bin Ali bin Adam bin Musa al-Ithiobi called Qurratu Ayn al-Muhtaj fi Sharh Muqaddimat Sahih al-Imam Muslim bin al-Hajjaj.

Enjoy.
