Celebrating the holidays of the kuffar is haram
Wednesday, 10 December 2008 22:50


Allah سبحانه وتعالى has distinguished and honoured the Muslim Ummah by Islam. He سبحانه وتعالى made Islam her way of life, the source of her unique concepts and rules, and a comprehensive and complete system for all of her life's affairs.
Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:
كُنتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّهِ
"You are the best ummah singled out for mankind: you enjoin what is right (ma'roof), forbid what is wrong (munkar), and believe in Allah." [Al-Imran:110]
Since the abolishment of Islam, from life, as a ruling system, the state of the Ummah has been declining from one bad stage to a worse one. The Ummah is being ruled by Kufr laws, dominated by Kufr concepts, invaded by the West with its corrupt culture and repugnant promiscuity, and as a result, It has corrupted the Ummah's Deen, ethics and future generations. The Western beacons, symbols, concepts, and occasions have become those of the Ummah. The West has been aided by the rulers of the Muslims who have devoted themselves to keeping Islam away from life, to fighting off it's thoughts and concepts, thus molding the Ummah's to the West's desire.
Celebrating the Christian holidays, such as Christmas and the Christian New Year is part of the Western culture that is imposed on the Muslims. In imposing such culture, the West intended for the Muslims to accept and recognize the Christian rituals, and believe in the equality of Christianity with Islam. We pray to Allah سبحانه وتعالى that the Muslims do not start celebrating the Jewish holidays as they have been celebrating the Christian ones.
With great sorrow and broken hearts, we witness the killing, rape and the expulsion of Muslims, throughout the world, at the hands of the Western Christians - the enemies of Islam. At the same time, we observe some of the children of the Muslims expressing their loyalty to the West and being fascinated with its culture. They celebrate the Christian holidays, occasions, and prepare for their seasons. It is no longer appalling to hear that some of the Muslims host the Americans and the other Christians in their own homes to celebrate Christmas, New Year, and other holidays. Indeed it is no longer considered strange for this to occur since the Ummah does not have a caretaker who would foster her affairs with Islam, shield it from Kufr concepts, protect her deen, and rule her so that she may remain a distinguished Ummah, as Allah سبحانه وتعالى willed for her.
O Muslims!
Celebrating the holidays and the occasions of the Kuffar is certainly Haram. You are not permitted to do it. Nor are your rulers allowed to make these (Kufr) holidays as official holidays, since it is an imitation of the Kuffar.
Imitating the Kuffar in any of their religious affairs or in any gesture that distinguishes them as groups is forbidden. Al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih (book) that Abu Saeed Al-Khudri رضي الله عنه reported that Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: "You will indeed follow the ways of those before you, hand span by hand span, and an arms length after another. Even if they enter into a lizards hole, you will follow them. We asked, is it the Jews and the Christians? He صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم replied, Who else!"
This hadith condemns imitating them. It is a proof for the prohibitions of imitating the Jews and the Christians in their occasions, symbols, or any matter related to their belief.
Celebrating the holidays of the kuffar is an act of imitation which is forbidden in Islam. Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم warned us against it. At-Tirmidhi narrated that Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه reported that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: "He is not one of us who imitates other than us. Do not imitate the Jews or the Christians."
At-Tabarani and Abu Dawud narrated that Ibn Umar and Hudhayfah رضي الله عنه reported that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: "Whoever imitates a people, he is one of them."
Furthermore, there are many Islamic evidences that forbid the Muslims from having holidays other than Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adhaa. Al-Bayhaqi reported in his Sunan that Anas Bin Maalik رضي الله عنه said: "When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم came to Medina, the people had two holidays from the days of Jahiliyyah."
He صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: "When I came to you, you had two days which you used to celebrate in Jahiliyyah. Allah سبحانه وتعالى has replaced them for you with better days, the days of slaughter (Adhaa) and the day of fitr."
Also Imam Ahmad in his Musnad reported that Uqbah bin Amir رضي الله عنه reported the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم to have said: "The day of Fitr and days of Tashriq are our holidays, the people of Islam."
These evidences are clear in forbidding the Muslims to have any Eid other than what Allah سبحانه وتعالى prescribed for them. Thus, they are not allowed to participate in or celebrate the holidays of the Kuffar, nor are they allowed to attend them, even if invited. Moreover, holidays, such as the New Year are filled with corruption and vice. Such occasions, where sins are committed and liquor is served, have become avenues to commit acts of fisq (disobedience). The official media uses its creativity to corrupt the tendencies and morals of the people by spreading the corrupt programs that contain nothing but vice in order to eliminate any sign of purity and morality.
O Muslims!
The Muslim Ummah is still being ruled by Kufr rules and dominated by Kufr concepts. The thoughts and sentiments of the children of the Ummah are still being molded in accordance with the corrupt Western values. Unless the Ummah rids itself from all of this corruption and works to establish the rightly guided Islamic Khilafah, that implements the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم, the situation of the Ummah will remain the same. The Ummah must establish the Khilafah in order to remove the injustice and corruption which has resulted in the loss of the identity and glory of the Muslims. Moreover, it has made them victims of the Kuffar and their agents, who implement the laws of Kufr which contradict with the Aqeedah and the Deen of the Muslims. It is to the Khilafah that we call you.
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said, "Verily the Imam is a shield; you (the Muslims Ummah) fight from behind him and protect yourselves with him."

$50 billion Fraud: Things go from bad to worse for Capitalism
Wednesday, 17 December 2008 07:57 Adnan Khan


Whilst the Global financial crisis gets into full swing some of the world's biggest banks have revealed that they have been victims of a fraud which has lost $50bn. Bernard Madoff, former chairman of Nasdaq, the US technology exchange, set up his Investment Securities nearly half a century ago. He also ran a separate hedge fund business for which he has been charged with fraud in what is being described as one of the biggest-ever cases.
According to the papers filled with US Attorney's Bernard Madoff told at least three employees on the 10th December 2009 that the hedge fund business - which served up to 25 clients and had $17.1bn under management - was a fraud and had been insolvent for years. He said he was "finished," that he had "absolutely nothing" and "it's all just one big lie," and that it was "basically, a giant Ponzi scheme."
This fraud raises once again a number of pertinent questions with regards to Capitalism and the free market:

1. This fraud has once again brought to the forefront the role greed played throughout the global financial crisis - it is now becoming an all too common occurrence. Bernard Madoff was a well respected financial consultant, he has earned a handsome income for nearly 50 years through his investments, but like Wall Street banks this just wasn't enough. Wall Street banks made large risky bets and lent money to people with little ability to repay such loans all in the name of profits, caring little about the repercussions or the people they were all defrauding. Bernard Madoff ran a Ponzi scheme, which is similar to pyramid schemes, where investors are promised very high returns on their investment, while in reality early investors are paid with money collected from later investors. Mr Madoff is alleged to have used money from new investors to pay off existing investors in the fund - the whole fund was one big lie.
2. Bernard Madoff managed to convince many of the world's biggest banks to part with their money with his elaborate scheme. The Royal Bank of Scotland in the UK has already announced it could potentially lose about £400 million from the alleged fraud. HSBC could reportedly lose up to £668million. Spain's largest bank, Santander, which also owns the UK High Street banks Abbey, Alliance & Leicester and Bradford & Bingley, said one of its funds had $3.1bn invested in the firm run by Bernard Madoff. France's BNP Paribas estimated its exposure to be more than $460 million. The French bank, Natixis, a subsidiary of Caisse d'Epargne and Banque Populaire, said it could potentially lose up to 450 million euros ($605m). Brittan's largest hedge fund manager, Man, said it had invested about $360m in the fraud.
3. This fraud points to a systemic failure of regulation. Only a few months ago when some of the Wall Street titans were all on their knees, better and greater regulation was consistently being presented as solutions. But Bernard Madoff's fraud is the most basic issue regulatory policy is meant to protect individuals from. All financial systems around the world have such regulation in place and as a result the fraud should never have reached the level it did. Just to put this fraud into perspective it is more than the economies of Luxemburg and Qatar.
4. Regulation like many capitalist economic ideas sounds very nice when studied in text books, but in the real world such ideas are neither applicable and can be easily manipulated. Capitalism has a history of economic crises and no amount of regulation has been able to halt the destruction caused by the continued boom, bust, depression, crash and fraud. No amount of regulation can halt the greed shown by Bernard Madoff and Wall Street banks. The only way to stop such occurrences would be to vet every transaction carried out in the financial industry which itself is not feasible. The call for regulation has always been a get out clause for free market ideologues when the free market crashes.
5. The hedge fund industry is worth over $1.5 trillion, the derivatives industry which they engage primarily in is worth over $500 trillion. As private, very lightly regulated partnerships, hedge funds are not obliged to disclose their activities to third parties. As a result they are very secretive about their activities and have until now managed to halt any attempt to regulate the industry. During the big falls in the world's financial markets in September 2008 hedge funds were responsible for making large bets for the collapse of many banks across the world. They spread rumours about the financial situation of many banks which would lead to a collapse in the share price. With little oversight hedge funds have had a field day during the turmoil.
6. The current fraud has also shown for the all the glitz and glamour of the financial markets in essence is dominated by derivatives which is nothing other than a big casino were participants bet on what will happen in the real world. One can actually make money from the failure of companies and even earthquakes if the bet is made at the right time.
The fraud of Bernard Madoff has shown that like the large corporations individuals also have the Capitalist bug for big profits and whatever cost. The questions that need to be asked is after the number of banks that have collapsed, been forced to merge and all the firms that received bailouts where are the free market ideologues who argued Capitalism is the best we have.

Pesan Penting Khutbah Perpisahan Rosulullah di Arafah Saat Menunaikan Ibadah Haji

“Wahai manusia sekalian, dengarkanlah perkataanku ini, karena aku tidak mengetahui apakah aku dapat menjumpaimu lagi setelah tahun ini di tempat wukuf ini.

(1) larangan membunuh jiwa dan mengambil harta orang lain tanpa alasan yang hak

Wahai manusia sekalian,

Sesungguhnya darah kamu dan harta kekayaan kamu merupakan kemuliaan ( haram dirusak oleh orang lain ) bagi kamu sekalian, sebagaimana mulianya hari ini di bulan yang mulia ini, di negeri yang mulia ini.

(2) kewajiban meninggalkan tradisi jahiliyah : pembunuhan , riba

Ketahuilah sesungguhnya segala tradisi jahiliyah mulai hari ini tidak boleh dipakai lagi. Segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan perkara kemanusiaan ( seperti pembunuhan, dendam, dan lain-lain ) yang telah terjadi di masa jahiliyah, semuanya batal dan tidak boleh berlaku lagi. (Sebagai contoh ) hari ini aku nyatakan pembatalan pembunuhan balasan atas terbunuhnya Ibnu Rabi’ah bin Haris yang terjadi pada masa jahiliyah dahulu.

Transaksi riba yang dilakukan pada masa jahiliyah juga tidak sudah tidak berlaku lagi sejak hari ini. Transaksi yang aku nyatakan tidak berlaku lagi adalah transaksi riba Abbas bin Abdul Muthalib. Sesungguhnya seluruh transaksi riba itu semuanya batal dan tidak berlaku lagi.

(3) mewaspadai gangguan syaitan dan kewajiban menjaga agama

Wahai manusia sekalian,

Sesungguhnya syetan itu telah putus asa untuk dapat disembah oleh manusia di negeri ini, akan tetapi syetan itu masih terus berusaha (untuk menganggu kamu ) dengan cara yang lain . Syetan akan merasa puas jika kamu sekalian melakukan perbuatan yang tercela. Oleh karena itu hendaklah kamu menjaga agama kamu dengan baik.

(4) larangan mengharamkan yang dihalalkan dan sebaliknya

Wahai manusia sekalian,

Sesungguhnya merubah-rubah bulan suci itu akan menambah kekafiran. Dengan cara itulah orang-orang kafir menjadi tersesat. Pada tahun yang satu mereka langgar dan pada tahun yang lain mereka sucikan untuk disesuaikan dengan hitungan yang telah ditetapkan kesuciannya oleh Allah. Kemudian kamu menghalalkan apa yang telah diharamkan Allah dan mengharamkan apa yang telah dihalalkanNya.

Sesungguhnya zaman akan terus berputar, seperti keadaan berputarnya pada waktu Allah menciptakan langit dan bumi. Satu tahun adalah dua belas bulan. Empat bulan diantaranya adalah bulan-bulan suci. Tiga bulan berturut-turut : Dzul Qa’dah, Dzul Hijjah, dan Muharram. Bulan Rajab adalah bulan antara bulan Jumadil Akhir dan bulan Sya’ban.

(5) kewajiban memuliakan wanita (isteri)

Takutlah kepada Allah dalam bersikap kepada kaum wanita, karena kamu telah mengambil mereka (menjadi isteri ) dengan amanah Allah dan kehormatan mereka telah dihalalkan bagi kamu sekalian dengan nama Allah.

Sesungguhnya kamu mempunyai kewajiban terhadap isteri-isteri kamu dan isteri kamu mempunyai kewajiban terhadap diri kamu. Kewajiban mereka terhadap kamu adalah mereka tidak boleh memberi izin masuk orang yang tidak kamu suka ke dalam rumah kamu. Jika mereka melakukan hal demikian, maka pukullah mereka dengan pukulan yang tidak membahayakan. Sedangkan kewajiban kamu terhadap mereka adalah memberi nafkah, dan pakaian yang baik kepada mereka.

Maka perhatikanlah perkataanku ini, wahai manusia sekalian..sesungguhnya aku telah menyampaikannya..

(6) Kewajiban berpegang teguh pada Al Qur’an dan as Sunnah

Aku tinggalkan sesuatu bagi kamu sekalian. Jika kamu berpegang teguh dengan apa yang aku tinggalkan itu, maka kamu tidak akan tersesat selama-lamanya. Itulah Kitab Allah (Al-Quran ) dan sunnah nabiNya (Al-Hadis ).

(7) kewajiban taat kepada pemimpin siapapun dia selama masih berpegang teguh pada al Qur’an

Wahai manusia sekalian..dengarkanlah dan ta’atlah kamu kepada pemimpin kamu , walaupun kamu dipimpin oleh seorang hamba sahaya dari negeri Habsyah yang berhidung pesek, selama dia tetap menjalankan ajaran kitabullah (Al- Quran ) kepada kalian semua.

(8) Kewajiban berbuat baik kepada hamba sahaya

Lakukanlah sikap yang baik terhadap hamba sahaya. Berikanlah makan kepada mereka dengan apa yang kamu makan dan berikanlah pakaian kepada mereka dengan pakaian yang kamu pakai. Jika mereka melakukan sesuatu kesalahan yang tidak dapat kamu ma’afkan, maka juallah hamba sahaya tersebut dan janganlah kamu menyiksa mereka.

(9) Umat Islam adalah bersaudara satu dengan yang lain

Wahai manusia sekalian.

Dengarkanlah perkataanku ini dan perhatikanlah.

Ketahuilah oleh kamu sekalian, bahwa setiap muslim itu adalah saudara bagi muslim yang lain, dan semua kaum muslimin itu adalah bersaudara. Seseorang tidak dibenarkan mengambil sesuatu milik saudaranya kecuali dengan senang hati yang telah diberikannya dengan senang hati. Oleh sebab itu janganlah kamu menganiaya diri kamu sendiri.

(10) kewajiban menyampaikan khutbah Rosulullah saw kepada yang lain

Ya Allah..sudahkah aku menyampaikan pesan ini kepada mereka..?

Kamu sekalian akan menemui Allah, maka setelah kepergianku nanti janganlah kamu menjadi sesat seperti sebagian kamu memukul tengkuk sebagian yang lain.

Hendaklah mereka yang hadir dan mendengar khutbah ini menyampaikan kepada mereka yang tidak hadir. Mungkin nanti orang yang mendengar berita tentang khutbah ini lebih memahami daripada mereka yang mendengar langsung pada hari ini.

Kalau kamu semua nanti akan ditanya tentang aku, maka apakah yang akan kamu katakan ? Semua yang hadir menjawab : Kami bersaksi bahwa engkau telah menyampaikan tentang kerasulanmu, engkau telah menunaikan amanah, dan telah memberikan nasehat. Sambil menunjuk ke langit, Nabi Muhammad kemudian bersabda : ” Ya allah, saksikanlah pernyataan mereka ini..Ya Allah saksikanlah pernyatan mereka ini..Ya allah saksikanlah pernyataan mereka ini..Ya Allah saksikanlah pernyatan mereka ini ” [Hadis Bukhari dan Muslim].

THE METHOD TO ESTABLISH KHILAFAH

video

Bangsa ini Harus Segera Bertobat

Assalâmu‘alaikum wa rahmatullâhi wa barakâtuh.

Pembaca yang budiman, negeri ini seolah menjadi negeri segudang bencana; baik bencana alam maupun bencana kemanusiaan. Bencana alam ada yang bersifat alamiah karena faktor alam (seperti gempa, tsunami, dll), tetapi juga ada yang karena faktor manusia (seperti banjir, kerusakan lingkungan, pencemaran karena limbah industri, dll). Adapun bencana kemanusiaan seperti kemiskinan, kelaparan serta terjadinya banyak kasus kriminal (seperti korupsi, suap-menyuap, pembunuhan, perampokan, pemerkosaan, maraknya aborsi, penyalahgunaan narkoba, dll) adalah murni lebih disebabkan karena ulah manusia. Itu belum termasuk kezaliman para penguasa yang dengan semena-mena menerapkan berbagai UU yang justru menyengsarakan rakyat seperti UU Migas, UU SDA, UU Listrik, UU Penanaman Modal, UU BHP, dll. UU tersebut pada kenyataannya lebih untuk memenuhi nafsu segelintir para pemilik modal ketimbang berpihak pada kepentingan rakyat.

Pertanyaannya: Mengapa semua ini terjadi? Bagaimana pula seharusnya bangsa ini bersikap? Apa yang mesti dilakukan? Haruskah kita menyikapi semua ini dengan sikap pasrah dan berdiam diri karena menganggap semua itu sebagai ’takdir’?

Tentu tidak demikian. Pasalnya, harus disadari, bahwa berbagai bencana dan musibah yang selama ini terjadi lebih banyak merupakan akibat kemungkaran dan kemaksiatan yang telah merajalela di negeri ini. Semua itu tidak lain sebagai akibat bangsa ini telah lama mencampakkan syariah Allah dan malah menerapkankan hukum-hukum kufur di negeri ini.

Karena itu, momentum akhir tahun ini tampaknya bisa digunakan oleh seluruh komponen bangsa ini untuk melakukan muhâsabah, koreksi diri, sembari dengan penuh kesadaran dan kesungguhan melakukan upaya untuk mengatasi berbagai persoalan yang melanda negeri ini. Tampaknya bangsa ini harus segera bertobat dengan segera menerapkan hukum-hukum Allah SWT secara total dalam seluruh aspek kehidupan mereka. Maka dari itu, perjuangan untuk menegakan syariah Islam di negeri ini tidak boleh berhenti, bahkan harus terus ditingkatkan dan dioptimalkan. Sebab, sebagai Muslim kita yakin, bahwa hanya syariah Islamlah—dalam wadah Khilafah—yang bisa memberikan kemaslahatan bagi negeri ini, bahkan bagi seluruh alam raya ini.

Itulah di antara perkara penting yang dipaparkan dalam tema utama al-wa‘ie kali ini, selain sejumlah tema penting lainnya. Selamat membaca!

Wassalâmu‘alaikum wa rahmatullâhi wa barakâtuh.
