Speaker: Dr Abdul Wahid Talk: The Struggle to carry Islam to the World Alif-Laam-Ra. (This is) a Book which We have revealed unto you in order that you might lead mankind out of darkness into light by their Lord's Leave to the Path of the All-Mighty, the Owner of all Praise. (Ibrahim:1) Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain: Annual Ramadhan Ijtima 2013-- The Prophet's Ramadhan - Month to Struggle for Islam "It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although they who associate others with Allah dislike it." 9:33 The Prophet (SAW) and the Sahaba (RA) demonstrated that Ramadhan was the month to struggle for establishing the Deen of Allah in society and state. The Prophet SAW carried the intellectual struggle of the Qur'an in Makkah and then the practical struggle of establishing Islam in society in Madinah and then the global struggle to carry Islam to the world. This is the very nature of this Qur'an that Muslims are reciting every day in Ramadhan -- a message of struggle against all forms of jahilliyah. This is the Prophet's Ramadhan and this is what the Muslims today need to emulate as an Ummah. Keep Reading »

Contemplation, of its own self, has a significant value in Islam. In fact, numerous eminent scholar's of the past, like Sheikh Ul Islam Ibn Taymiyah (ra), linked the importance of using the mind to reach the conclusion that the Quran is the world of Allah (swt) and Muhammad (saw) is the messenger of Allah (swt). Also Imam Ghazali (ra) is reported to have stated in his Ihya Uloom Ud Deen that "an hour's worth of contemplation is better than a year's worth of worship." Ramadhan is a crucial time to ponder over one's life and one's role within this world as a Muslim. Under the physical strain of fasting, one may at times forget to think before acting and, thus, end up regretting his actions. This naseehah highlights the importance of thinking before acting and the dangers that can occur when one falls into such an instance. "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the succession of night and day, there are indeed signs for all who possess [awakened] hearts, those who remember Allah when they stand, sit, and lie down and contemplate the creation of the heavens and the earth" [Q 3:190-91] Keep Reading »
