As-salamu 'alaikum,

Sheikh has given the idea of 'Muslim Village', the idea is to setup a muslim community in countryside away from urban life. This community must have an Ameer and all the members of community will have to abide by the rulings of the Ameer provided that the rulings do not violate the Quran and 'Sahih Ahadith.

This community will be self-sufficient in its food suply and most of the daily needs. However, many questions are there about how and what and the reason is that so far no muslim village has been setup. But do not let yourself dis-hearted because there are brothers and sisters who are working in this direction - may allah (swt) help them to acheive their goals.

The members of the community will not import URBAN culture to the village rather they have to mould themselves in to ISLAMIC culture so in other words members will be living in the boundaries of shariah on a micro scale.

Some members of the community may be allowed to work in urban city of nearby but not all of them. The community will have its own security but will not allow gun culture and more importantly the members will not develop themselves into ant-state army.

You may refer to Sheikh's lecture and articles for further insight into it.

Wa-allah 'alam bis-'sawab

what is Muslim Village? Please explain

Wsalam Alaikum warahmatullah wabarakahtu brother,

I am very pleased to get a response from like minded fellow like urself. Having a muslim village in pakistan would be a great idea. My Email adress is khan_bhai288@yahoo.com. Please keeep in touch and introduce me to ur group. Maybe start a thread were u can connect and express our opinions. My name is Junaid Khan.

Assalaamu Alaikum Brother Naveed,

I have been following this site for some time and couldn't register successfully. After switching to Firefox browser I have been able to do so, Alhamdulillah. Just a reminder for others. I have always taken a curious look at the ever changing world around us and Sheikh Imran has been a revelation for me. It confirmed what I felt deep down. Its important to look deeply and I see why Sheikh has propounded the concept of Hijrah. What has troubled me is the leaving behind of family but I do feel the wisdom of Hijah in order to preserve one's emaan as best as possible. I feel it fluctuates considerably in the UK and a greater effort is needed to progress. Also, there seems to be an environment developing where compromises are plaguing the mind. It is very psychological. This could be personal.

I wold like to say Salaam to all and pariculaly Abu Rania, as I concur with many of your sentiments. I hope to learn more from you all and share my thoughts.

Brother Naveed, you mentioned you were looking for people for possible settlement in NWFP. I think it was you. Or if any other brothers then I could be a contender if Allah wills.

Get in touch. Brother Naveed posted his email address. If it was you I'll be in touch inshAllah

Aslaam Alaikum

I think brother you are confusing Tanzeem-e-Islami with some other Jamaat. Tanzeem-e-Islami is a Jamat which operates on the basis of Baya'h. and Sheikh Imran Hosien himself took the Bayah on the hand of founder of Tanzeem-e-Islami , honorable Dr. Israr Ahmed

"The one who dies without bayah on his neck dies the death of Jahiliya (ignorance)." Hadith of the Messenger s.a.w

Tanzeem is an admirable group who's Ameer takes the Bay'ah and believe firmly in establishing Khilafat and Darul Islam.

"The Tanzeem-e-Islami is one such Jama´ah. It may not be the only such Jama´ah today. But it recognizes and is committed to a morrow in which all “the people of Allah” will be unified as one Jama´ah under one Ameer/Imam. Indeed this must be recognized as one of the basic characteristics of a Jama´ah whose affairs are faithfully conducted in accordance with the Qur´an and Sunnah; to wit, such a Jama´ah is constantly struggling to unify all “the people of Allah” as “one Jama´ah” under the direction of “one Ameer.”

It is also a matter of critical importance that we recognize the Tanzeem-e-Islami as a Jama´ah which has accepted and projected the Qur´an as the primary source of guidance of Islam. Perhaps no one alive today has rendered greater service to the cause of the Qur´an as Dr. Israr Ahmad, the Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami."  
From: http://www.imranhosein.org/articles/islam-and-politics/62-one-ameer-one-jamaah.html

Evaluate whichever Jama'ah you wish to join against the criteria INH has set here: http://www.imranhosein.org/blog/179-how-to-recognize-the-right-tariqa-and-sufi-shaikh.html

As there is no Khalifat at this time bayah should be given to a local Ameer who displays the atributes mentioned in the article.

As-Salamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh:

 Don't get involved with any group. One brother talked about a group called Tanzeem-e-Islami. Don't get involved.

 Those groups, even if they are 100% clean, will be easily demonized by the media.

 The connection between those groups and those who are lured by the CIA works something like this, insha'Allah.

 A kid who studies in a Tanzeem-e-Islami affiliated mosque grows up and is seduced by a CIA agent(A Pakistani who works for the CIA to recruit 'terrorists') to do some attack. The group Tanzeem-e-Islami has the blame put on it and there is war declared on it.

 Was-Salamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

AOA.

Brother do you have any area in particular in the NWFP. 

Asalamu alaikum 

I am proposing to start building a muslim village with the help of at least 250 people.

Location: North West Frontier Province, Pakistan

Please mail me if you are interested and i will keep you informed with details. 

I would especially like volunteers who are from the UK, USA and Europe. 

yunusa1@aston.ac.uk 

Assalamu Alaykum,

Mine is faisalkhan1617@yahoo.com.

I will really like to discuss this with like minded people from Pakistan. I am also living in Pakistan at the moment, in Karachi.

Take care,

Wassalam

Aslaam Alaikum brother

can you please provide me your email address. we are a group of some people who are working to figure out what we can do to build a muslim village.

I'm also from Pakistan, and building a muslim village in pakistan is my first choice. if you provide me your contact info, i will add you to our group then we can further dicuss the things.

Zohaib

Salam brothers and sisters,

           I am currently living in New York. I have been listening to Sheikhs lectures for a while and realize that a muslim village must be established. i am thinking of starting one in the northern parts of pakistan. i have seen places that can be a great location for a muslim village and many muslims can easily be able to join. The problem is that im 18 years of age and have no clue on what i should do to prepare for this act to take place. I am studying medical and think that at a certain age i will be able to begin this process inshallah. i just need some advice. Also i heard about the tanzeem-e-islam there in lahore it will make things much easier and quicker for the muslim village to establish.

Wa-Alaikum Salaam Wa-Rahmatullah

yes brother, I'm aware of the situation in Pakistan...but for other places I see a visa issue for myself. If I need to work on Muslim Village, then Pakistan seems the only place at the moment (for me).

As-Salamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh:

 Pakistan is not the place for such a village. The Propaganda and lies told about it would be that it is a haven for terrorists or a terror training ground. Even children running in the streets playing will be made to look as though it is training in how to be a Taliban fighter.

 Was-Salamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

Aslaam alaikum warahmat ullah

Dear brothers and sisters
I have been listening to Sheikh Imran hosein since few months, and i really second his concept of "Muslim Villge".  Moreover, i understand that this could not be accomplished by  a single person, instead a Jamaa't is required which can work together to make a concept a reality.

If any one of you know of any such Jama't working on it, kindly inform me. If you're interested in the same way as I am then please contact me so that we can discuss about the possibilities.

my contact : zohaib_hussaini@yahoo.com

(I'm originally from Pakistan, so anyone thinks we can go back to pakistan and work on this )

Asalamalaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Dear brothers and sisters,

I will do everything in my power to make the idea of a muslimvillage a reality. Holding on to the concept of a muslimvillage feels like holding on to the quran and sunnah. I cannot see another way out. May Allah bless  dear sheikh Imran Hosein. What i ask from you brothers and sisters is to make duaa for us so that we can make the hijrah. All 4 of us Me, my wife Salura, my son Tariq and my daughter Meryem.

Love you all for the sake of Allah,

Ömer

Bismillah Irahman Irahim

First of i want to should show respect to Imran Hosein for coming bravely and telling the truth at the time when few are doing so.

 I only known about Imran Hosein for the past few weeks, and its amazing how i got reffered to his website and lactures.

I been living in US for 8 years and its rearly do you see sombody walking to the masjid spacially when its far for a walking distance and no public transportation, in back of my mind i had a though the the brother was using the Hadith  that walking to the Jumah you will have a good dead for every step you take. Still, after the jumah i offer the brother a ride and later on found out that he was homeless - didnt not accept MONEY and only worked for food and shealther. He was revert muslim for 7 years and that week i spend some of my best time learning more about the deen, about survivng on the minimum and still being happy with which allah has blessed you with. There i learned alot about Ribah monetary system which the brother made the ultimate sacrafice to stay away from, and the need for muslim village our land and going back to the Sunnah Village ( Gold,Silver, Algiculture, Sheep etc )

And are there plans for Muslim Village in northern Africa?

Assalaamu Alaykum

Assalamu Alaikum,

Are there any monetary requirements for joining a Muslim village? How much money would you recommend to have, for smooth relocation? 

Asalam 'alaikum,

Out of those who are planning to attend the retreat, how many are interested in the muslim village? I was just in Trinidad with Hajja Karima and family visiting Maulana Imran alhamdullelah.

Im curious as to how many from north america are coming? Please contact me if you are. I am in the USA and want to move elsewhere and live in muslim village. The logisitcs are easy. Its the people and intentions that are needed to start this inshallah

Re: A Day of FREEDOM once felt in a moment of TIME!
Hajjah Karima salam alaoikum,

wa alaykumus salaamu,

one little question, are your kids being educated and what school are they studying in

I have 7 children 4 of whom are adults 3 are married with children.  My oldest is 28 married with 2 children and has been working in law enforcement for over 8 years.  My second son is 24 with one child and is an EMT.  My oldest daughter is 23 married with 2 children has a degree in Accounting and her husband is a Truck driver.  My youngest daughter of the oldest has been in Management for 6 years.  Each one were home schooled and received there High school Diploma once they returned to the U.S.A.  There Risq (provision) is not from their education but rather there dedication and dependence on Allah s.w.t. we see the current statistics for U.S. Unemployment:

THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION:  MARCH 2009
In March, the number of unemployed persons increased by 694,000 to 13.2 million, and the unemployment rate rose to 8.5 percent.  Over the past 12 months,
the number of unemployed persons has grown by about 5.3 million, and the unem-
ployment rate has risen by 3.4 percentage points. Half of the increase in both
the number of unemployed and the unemployment rate occurred in the last 4 months. 
(See table A-1

As we can see, our Provision is not from Created things but from the One that Creates all Things.

and what do you think is the best way to cope with the world despite its mistakes and good, should one hide and live far away from the people, or live in the cities and between the  people and cause a great change everyday

Well I don't believe it's about what I think or anyone else thinks for that matter but what has been written and ordered by Allah s.w.t. and His Messenger.  So let's see what Allah s.w.t. and his Messenger says:

"Do they not travel through the land, so that their hearts (and minds) may thus learn wisdom and their ears may thus learn to hear? Truly it is not their eyes that are blind, but their hearts which are in their breasts." Al Quran, 22:46 

This is our first step in this process of making a conscious decision in this modern Babylon, we must gain awareness, Knowledge and be able to see THINGS FOR WHAT THEY TRULY ARE.  This can only be done with the Heart.  The Heart must be Illuminated with Noor which comes from Allah s.w.t.  If we are chasing, loving and desiring this Dunya (World) then we close our hearts to this essential guidance From the Creator who created all that we Desire.  If we come to Him a hands span then he will come to us an arms length.  If the door to our hearts are closed and there is no light for eternal guidance and everlasting Life then we will not see things as they Truly are but we will view life as we hope and wish it to be.  This in itself is delusional and self imprisonment, because what we hope for and desire is not reality nor what we are experiencinge, so we are constantly having internal conflict and strife. True freedom is opening our hearts to the Guidance of the Devine and trusting that he is Sovereign over all.  Making Him the one and Only focus and Goal in our lives, that is when we will taste the sweetness of FREEDOM at it's very essence.

Once our hearts are open and Light begins to pure in your vision will become clear.  Now we are able to act upon what we see (with our internal vision) and what we have learned so that we can carry out Allah's orders and commands.  Here is what Allah s.w.t. has ordered for his servants:

"When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they say: "In what (plight) were ye?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed were we in the earth." They say: "Was not the earth of God spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (from evil)?" Such men will find their abode in Hell, - What an evil refuge!" Al-Quran 4:97

"Except those who are (really) weak and oppressed - men, women, and children - who have no means in their power, nor (a guide-post) to their way." 4:98

"He who forsakes his home in the cause of God, finds in the earth Many a refuge, wide and spacious: Should he die as a refugee from home for God and His Apostle, His reward becomes due and sure with God: And God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. " 4:100

Now we've read that Allah s.w.t. has ordered us to move ourselves away from evil.  We have not been ordered to stay in wickedness, evil, destruction and godlessness to make a change.  It is IMPERATIVE that we move ourselves, families and love ones away from this madness, and give them and us the IMMUNITIES to deal with what's to come when we are comforted with it without any choice.  As The Youth of the Cave was ordered to do so, As our Prophet Lut was ordered to do so and as our Beloved Nabi s.a.a.w.s., was ordered to do so.  Allah has informed us in his Glorious book that they will try to put out His light with their Mouths but He (Allah s.w.t.,) will make his Deen to prevail even though the Mushrik (Idolaters or those that associate partners with him) may dislike or detest it.  What we are living and witnessing today is no WORDLY MISTAKE but a true DIABOLICAL SCHEME  to control the world, NWO.  Please read:  Suratul Kahf in the Modern Age by Sheikh Imran Hosein or visit http://www.imranhosein.org

I will end with what our Beloved nabi has ordered for us in these times and a portion of a Hadith that described how our Beloved Lived and his lifestyle was an example for us and a motivation.  He was the Prophet of the Lord of the worlds who could have given him all the kingdoms here on earth but this is what he chose and requested of his Followers May Peace and Blessing be upon Him, His companions and His wives:

2) Narrated Hudhaifa bin al-Yaman: The people used to ask allah's apostle about good, but I used to ask him about evil for fear that it might overtake me. Once I said, "O allah's apostle! We were in ignorance and in evil and allah has bestowed upon us the present good; will there by any evil after this good?" He said, "Yes." I asked, "Will there be good after that evil?" He said, "Yes, but it would be tained with Dakhan (i.e. Little evil)." I asked, "What will its Dakhan be?" He said, "There will be some people who will lead (people) according to principles other than my tradition. You will see their actions and disapprove of them." I said, "Will there by any evil after that good?" He said, "Yes, there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of Hell, and whoever accepts their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them)." I said, "O allah's apostle! Describe those people to us." He said, "They will belong to us and speak our language" I asked, "What do you order me to do if such a thing should take place in my life?" He said, "adhere to the group of Muslims and their Chief." I asked, "If there is neither a group (of Muslims) nor a chief (what shall I do)?" He said, "Keep away from all those different sects, even if you had to Bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, till you meet allah while you are still in that state."  (Book #56, Hadith #803)

This is the end of a Hadith in Sahih Bakhari:

Then I put on my clothes and went to Allah's Apostle's residence, and behold, he was staying in an upper room of his to which he ascended by a ladder, and a black slave of Allah's Apostle was (sitting) on the first step. I said to him, 'Say (to the Prophet ) 'Umar bin Al-Khattab is here.' Then the Prophet admitted me and I narrated the story to Allah's Apostle. When I reached the story of Um Salama, Allah's Apostle smiled while he was lying on a mat made of palm tree leaves with nothing between him and the mat. Underneath his head there was a leather pillow stuffed with palm fibres, and leaves of a saut tree were piled at his feet, and above his head hung a few water skins. On seeing the marks of the mat imprinted on his side, I wept. He said.' 'Why are you weeping?' I replied, "O Allah's Apostle! Caesar and Khosrau are leading the life (i.e. Luxurious life) while you, Allah's Apostle though you are, is living in destitute". The Prophet then replied. 'Won't you be satisfied that they enjoy this world and we the Hereafter?' "  (Book #60, Hadith #435)

As Salaamu Alaykum:  Aqeel

Inshallah most of my children and I should be there, so if you are blessed to attend we will meet at that time.  The tickets were fairly reasonable, for 5 adult round trip tickets leaving San Francisco Airport to Florida then to Port of Spain in Trinidad ran 2,700 U.S. dollars.  I can't wait to return it was such a wonderful rewarding experience with Maulanu Imran, His wife sister Aisha and the community.  Plus Trinidad was so beautiful !!!

 Hajjah Karimah

w/salaam warahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu!

 your response and insight has been very beneficial alhumdulillah...i am thinking of attending moulanas retreat programme, like how u did a few weeks back, in October! im thinking inshaallah with the help of allah i should be of those who should be helping to build a village. oh...and please may i ask how much your flight costs were to attend Trinidad? Jaza kallah

Aqeel Bin Ibrahim

As salaamu alaykum brother Aqeel,

Thank you for your response.  Yes we were welcomed with open arms.  They did not want us to leave and were prepared to give ,for free, any accomodations we desired to make our stay longer and comfortable.  We were muhaajir and muhaajiraat coming from the West, we were walking BLESSINGS AND REWARDS from Allah that could be easily obtained by good manners, hospitality and religous accomodations.  Looking at everything in life as an opportunity to get closer to Allah s.w.t., and to receive rewards, blessings, and penance was a common custom and tradition of Muslims.  Now it has went from spiritual experience and opportunity to a MATERIALISTIC gain, what we can get from one another is the number one driving force and motivation for ALMOST EVERYTHING. 

Hajjah Karimah/UmmYusuf

Assalamu alaykum wa ramahtullahi wa barakatu brothers and sisters,

Alhamdulillah. I am so happy to have found this site and the work of Sheikh Imran Hosein. Thank you for the work you are doing here Brother Mogamat.  

I am a US citizen and I too wish to make Hijrah and have been longing for a strong Islamic community to become part of since my conversion to Islam in 2006 after reading an English translation of the Qur'an online (hoping to learn something about Islam so that I could pursuade the Muslim I was chatting with to convert to Christianity).

I feel the same responsibility toward my one child that Sister Karimah feels toward hers!!! The influences around us, pulling the mind and heart away from true Islam by so many different methods, both overt and covert, are so strong that even though I homeschool her and even though right now she loves Islam, I can see trouble ahead. I see the seduction happening to others I have gotten to know online, little by little.

After a time of growth and strengthening and total immersion in Islam and Islamic community, then perhaps we could return to our old environment for a while to give Da'wah, but I feel we need a home base and a "detox" center.

Salmah Umm Zainab

Asalaamu alaikum...

i came across a hadith and thought it may help you, me and all brothers and sisters insha allah!  here goes!

“Leave that about which you are in doubt for that about which you are in no doubt” ( Tirmidhi)

May allah make grant us ease in  this hardship! jazakallaH!

Bin iBrahim

Asalaamu alaikum

 alhumdulillah...it has been a truely encouraging, for you to share your experience with us! very inspirational! i would like this opportunity to thank you, Moulana, the admin and everyone in this effort jazakallah! furthermore i would like to ask a question and hope your answer may benefit all brothers and sisters! When you went to takdijah...were you alllowed into the village freely! say for instance, if i was to visit this muslim village, would i be allowed in and allowed to stay there as i wisH?

apologies if the question may be ambiguous!

May i quote a hadith please... “There are two types of inmates of Hell whom I have not seen in my time: people having flogs like the tails of oxen with them and who would be beating people, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined to evil and make their husbands incline towards it. Their hair would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side’”               (Muslim)

NOTE: Might I remind you that this was said in the 7^th Century, yet it is mind bogglingly true and accurate!!

JazaKallah

As salaamu alaykum Brother Magamat

Thank you for your reply I agree and by Allah's mercy I was blessed to experience that EFFORT being applied while visiting with Sheikh Imran.  I was the only female present on the 1 week visit that consisted of classes everyday and each time our beloved Maulana Imran stressed that I must be present and constantly called on me to participate in the discussions as well as answer questions from previous lessons and studies.  I truly Love and Thank Allah s.w.t. for our beloved Sheikh.  I have tasted the sweetness of true Islam and I will strive with all that I have, physically, spiritually and financially to get my children and I in such a free and rewarding environment.

With love and respect of all of my Brothers and Sisters

Hajjah Karimah

As salaamu alaykum,

I agree with you Monsterblood 100%.  I would like to add, I have read post where people are saying, If we all leave the Western Countries or U.S. who will give dawah, who will help the muslims left behind and if it wasn't for muslim being present in these countries Islam would not have spread like it has."  First of all I am an American Born convert of over 26 years and like myself many of us will testify to the fact that most of our conversion to Islam has has little or nothing to do with the influence of Muslims in these parts.  Unfortunately, we have seen the Children stray far away from the deen chasing a pipe dream that has taken them deeper into the LIZARD'S HOLE, premarital sex, alcohol consumtion, disrespect for parents, and a host of other godless behaviour.  We have seen Immigrant Muslims change their names to allow them to assimilate into the Illusion and delusion of grandeur, so Ra'uf became Ralph and Jaffar became Jeffery.  Islam has reached many of us in the West because of the DECREE of Allah s.w.t., not the so called practioners.  If our beloved Nabi or any of his Sahabahs were present now most of us would not even be considered practising Muslims. 

Even if we believe we can survive the evils DECEPTIONS, that majority of us have not been success of doing so far, of Ad Dajjal, that we have the immunities to fight the plague and disease spread by him and his hinchmen Gog and Magog. Even if we have been dupped into believing we are not in the MATRIX ourselves, just the very denial of the URGENCY and IMPORTANCE of leaving these Countries is a prime example that we are still plugged and sitting in the rabbit's hole like all the rest.

THE CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE, THEY ARE THE NEXT SCHOLARS, SHUYUKH, HUSBANDS, WIVES, MOTHERS, FATHERS, DOCTORS.  GIVE THEM A CHANCE, GIVE THEM WHAT THEY NEED TO ENPOWER THEM WHEN THEY ARE FACED WITH AD DAJJAL.  We may not be present at that time I am not MIRGRATING just for me.  I have 3 younger children who I want to have the TIME in an environment that is free of distractions and sicknessess so I can indoctrinate, educate and guide with pure traditional Islam.  Not just through books and sayings but through action and implementation.  This is my Job and Responsibility.

was salaamu alaykum

Hajjah Karimah

Salaam,

When I come across people who think like that, this is what I usually tell them.Yep a lot of them usually think they can surpass the problems and evilness in the system but I know they are only fooling themselves.

'Bro you might have enough faith to survive this godless society but remember not everyone has the same faith as you do. To be honest, if you really care of the people in your responsibily then you would know that you can have the strongest faith in your heart but your kids, your wife and your friends will not have the same amount of faith that you have to prevent themselves from indulging in this godless system.

By taking them away from the whole system (like sister Karimah has done), you will not only safeguard your own faith but also the ones who are close to you.'

 Yeah me too, I haven't heard of any sheikh either who knows the current situation of the ummah down here in London.

 Waslaam.

Alhamdulillah, may Allah accept your duah, ameen!

Ibn Khaldun's view of history teaches us that the First Generation is the one that struggles, the second generation is the one that benefits from the struggle while the third generation is the one which declines due to prosperity (quoting from memory, so may be missing a generation or two, correct me if I'm wrong pls) 

The Muslim  Village must make a special effort to educate the mothers and daughters of the Village, they after all hold the keys to the next generation, who will arguably be the more important generation!

PS the name is Mogamat (ie Muhammad)

With Respect, Armageddon in the Islamic sense has already started. The Prophet (s.a.w) is reported to have said " I and the last day/last age are like these two (he held up his index and middle finger). With the release of Gog and Magog (in the lifetime of the Prophet (s.a.w)) and the Dajaal, the last age has already begun.

Britain was dismissed by Napolean, one of the major imperial powers of the time, as a nation of shopkeepers, who  then later went on to defeat him (at waterloo) after they had the help of Gog and Magog influenced by Dajjaal. Money played abig role in that power. So the key to remember here is that whichever state will be the next rulling state it will do so with the help of Gog and Magog and Dajjaal.

A plausible scenario is that all the money that has disapeared from the American/European economy suddenly resurfaces in the new Ruling state - not that far fetched, you only need to analyse the demographic of money power in the US to realise it. The April 2009 G20 conference is one to watch, it is likely related to the passage through time of Dajjal. Also for the Un to collapse there would need to be a gross loss of confidence in it to preserve peace and security, the war being brewed against Iran is sure to produce both the economic, political and security effects needed to achive this. And it is no secret who the main protagonist of this war is....

Dear Brother,

I am not the only one in this forum who says that Muslim should leave America!

Neither in Surah al-Kahf nor in the Hadith about the man fleeing to the mountains with his sheep anything is said about Millions! May I ask you: Do you want to move the whole Muslim population of UK to Islamic villages???

Sheik Imran does not want to come to UK, "they probably would arrest him"!

In order to be self-sufficient in the UK, it needs enormous efforts and a physical condition, which most people lack nowadays! To be able to survive in such a climate, with being able only to harvest ones a year, is very tough, even without a scenario like Armageddon, where people will flee from the cities to the countryside looking for food!

In Indonesia I put a Maniok stick in the soil, and a few days later you can see the leaves coming out of it, in three months I have the potatoe, and even before that I can use the leaves as vegetable! The Medinah-Project is hundreds of kilometers away from any major city with a huge nature reserve just beginning at the back of the property where with some skills you can survive! 

You are free to follow your own point of view or any scholar you deem acceptable but I ask you carefully to understand what Armageddon means! And this is another thing I do not agree with Maulana, I believe that Armageddon will start latest in 2012. And not Israel will emerge as ruling state (how can this be possible with only 5 Million people and nearly no resources?), but a One World Government will be erected, from which the League of Nations and UNO were its predecessors, with its capital of Jerusalem: http://www.tauhid.net/for_hosein.html.

We are talking about Billions of people dying in the next future!

And Allah knows best! 

As Salaamu alaykum:

Administrator,

I want to first extend my deepest gratitude to you for all of your work, effort and time that you have given to support and assist Our Beloved Sheikh and us who are in desperate need of guidance during these trying times.  I have been following the site and benefiting from the lectures and electronic readings and just decided to join the Forums after returning from Trinidad and reading many of the post.  May Allah s.w.t. continue to reward you all in South Africa and give you Tawfeeq(Success).  Sheikh Imran and His wife sister Aisha spoke very Highly of you all and I have made my Intentions to visit your community if the upcoming future.  So I'm happy I've joined the forum maybe you can let me know if visiting South Africa is possible.

As for you question about me leaving Mauritania.  I remember crying for about 2 weeks because I was so despondent about returning Home.  Our initial plan was to stay there for 3-6 years.  The problem that we ran into was Islamic Education for women.  I am my two daughters were often left at home or sitting with other women in the villiage that weren't very educated trying to find a consistant teacher.  When we decided to return it was to be for a short time just so I could get my nursing license since I had already completed the education part.  We were advised by Sheikh Hamza Yusuf that we should go to another country and study the arabic language first and then return.  This was my plan and intentions.  When we returned my children were older and three of them married shortly after return home.  Since then it's been a struggle trying to get back out, DISTRACTIONS AFTER DISTRACTIONS.  I truly believe it was meant for me to stay so that I could find Maulana which has had a tremendous impact on where I will migrate to now.  It is Imperative that I am in the midst of Muslims that I can relate too, my spirit needs it and it will rejuvenate my energy so that I can be of BENEFIT in my surroundings.  I pray inshaAllah I answered your question I can sometimes be a bit long winded.

Your sister in faith

P.S. I've figured out something...It's not that I'm writing too much, It's that the page is so Narrow...lol :)

Ameen! 

Sister Karimah, may I ask why you left Mauritania or was it just a short stay you had planned?

As Salaamu Alaykum:

To my Dear Brother Syed_zaid and Sister ADivine Destruction thank you for taking the time to read my post.  I wrote my short story that goes even deeper than that hoping It would be an INSPIRATION for my brothers and sisters here and on other sites that I belong to.  Brother syed_zaid you are correct, we must have the intention and desire before we can do anything.  We must cry out to ALLAH and ask him for guidance and help and ultimately we have to let go and DEPEND SOLEY ON ALLAH.  This is the true essence of my Story.  I was so afraid to leave the U.S. in 1999 but when I seen the conditions of my children and how I was loosing them to this dunyah my love overpowered my fear.  My love for Islam and wanting to Please Allah s.w.t. overpowered my fear of poverety, inconviences and non modern conviences/dependencies.  We are all on the right track we have accepted the Truth into our Hearts.  We have the desire to leave now we have to know where, when and put our faith totally in Allah s.w.t.  This is why I deemed it Imperative to visit Maulana Imran I needed to talk with Him, my sons neede to talk with him.  I will close with two statements from the Quran,  "Loose no Hope Nor Fall into Despair for you must gain Mastery if you are true in faith."  and "Definitely, Mankind can have nothing accept what he strives for".  Let us all be a CINDER BLOCK for one another building Hope and Iman for a brightier future for our next generation who are to follow our works and efforts.  Let us feed off of the positive ENERGY provided by our brothers and sisters in South Africa  and the Administrator who takes the time to inform, reply and read our concerns and fears.  Let us not be like Bani Isreal asking WHAT KIND OF COW, WHAT COLOR COW etc...with Nabi Musa.  May Allah s.w.t. bless us to See THINGS as they truly are.

Love and Peace,

Your sister in Islam, Hajjah Karimah/UmmYusuf

Asalamulaikum Sister Karimah! Your story was uplifting and you spoke the truth. This life here that we live, restricts us from being closer to Allah, even if we pray five times a day its never enough. When i go out into the city centre (i live in Birmingham UK) theres so much fitna around - no wonder men here are lustful predetors, theres naked women everywhere. but back to the point - Some people argue that we should stay in the UK, right in the midst of Fitna and corruption because it will be a good test for our imaan and the test is from Allah(swt) there is also a lot of good that comes from living from the UK - we can practice our religion freely, openly and even do Da'wah. I on the other hand think that if i stay here any longer, i will remain in a transitory phase, with no improvment in my Imaan - it really is a constant struggle and i feel weak.

I have not heard any learned man in the UK, be it a sheikh or Alim that has shared the same views and ideas as Moulana Imran Hosein.

 As salaamu Alaykum: Brother Syed,

I pray to Allah s.w.t. to give us strength and perseverance during these trying times.  Since we have just returned from Trinidad on Weds. of last week we have not yet approached any of our leaders here in Northern California.  We are plan to set up a meeting to discuss how we will approach them.  We are in California so we are dealing with leadership like Imam Zaid Shakir, Sh. Hamza Yusuf, Shuaib Web and others.  The best approach that I found is not trying to convince people of anything, just give them a copy of Sheikh Imran's works, the best sellers, and if they are interested they will come back for more.  I just try to introduce him by saying, " You should here this Sheikhs lecture on Ad Dajjal and Gog and Magog" give them a copy and nine times out of ten they will contact you if they were impressed.  I just received two phone calls from two different Muslims who watched the Video on Ad Dajjal and were extremely impressed by the Sheikh's explanations.  While visiting Sheikh Imran he too agreed that this is the best approach as oppose to trying to convince your peers, many times we are not even quoting the Sheikh correctly.  I am American born citizen.  I am a Registered Nurse and I currently work in an Emergency Room in California.  One thing that we must understand as American Muslims, in order to have a successful villiage and break from this GODLESS system we must be like the Muslims of MECCA who made Hijrah to MEDINA.  We have to, it is IMPERATIVE that we leave AMERICA...Many of us are not ready to here this, we are not truly ready to let go, we think we're UNPLUGGED but we haven't completely swallowed the RED PILL, once we do we will see just how far the RABBIT hole goes and we would not want to return.  Muslim Villiages will not survive in the U.S...right now they are planning to do away with HOMESCHOOLING.   They are setting up check points throughout the U.S.  Your children are wards of the state/government you have minimum rights over them view this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL0yu2e3HjQ  We have to make Hijrah from here and become apart of establishing muslim villiages elsewhere or co-existing villages.  As we can see over the past few years many of the self sufficient/independent groups that have ventured off to isolated areas have been dimantled or interferred by some type of legality.  MOVE community, Waco Texas, The Amish community, Fuqrah Jamat and many more.  It is not possible here in the U.S. May Allah s.w.t. give us the Strength to be like those who Migrated from Mecca to Medina...ammeeen...

InshaAllah I pray I answered your question...
