Q. “Is it necessary for a women to wait for call of Azan before she can offer her prayers (salah) or can she perform her prayers as soon as the time for that particular prayer becomes due?”. (Ibid)

A. The ladies need not wait for the call of Azan. They can offer their prayers soon after they are sure that the time for a particular salah has arrived, no matter whether the Call of Azan has been pronounced in the Masjid or not. The Holy Qur’an says,

“Surely, the Salah for the Muslims is an obligation related with time.”  Read more... (209 words, estimated 50 secs reading time)

Q. Some people seem to recite words used in Salah without moving their lips. What is the correct method?

The second important factor is that the Jihad organisations should not become an organ of the state at any time. Though according to the circumstances and situations, for the welfare of the Jihad and the Muslims, mutual cooperation between the Jihad Movements and the states is not a bad thing and in some situation it is vital, but to depend completely on the states for procurement, resources and to submit to the state’s dictate and their policies, would tantamount to an act of suicide.  Read more...

The gravest danger facing the Mujahideen are those governments, who are occupying the seats of power as a consequence of the manipulation of Anti-Islam forces, or due to the discord and disunity of the Islamic political parties, or by the inertia and the disinterest of the Muslim population. These ideological slaves of western ideology and totally devoid of any passion for Islam, will go to any length to preserve their power and their throne. These opportunists will not hesitate to use the good name of Islam for their inferior motives. They will adorn their heads with the white Islamic cap or wear Dopattah they will visit Masajid and shrines, to disguise their true colours, but as soon as they received the signal from their Kafir masters, they change their spots and blatantly disassociate themselves even from the fundamentals of Islam and do not miss any opportunity to assure their Kafir masters of their undying loyalty and gratitude. They will issue the commandments of sending the bulldozers, to demolish Masajid, they will destroy Madaaris, they will openly tear up any constitution to pieces. Based upon the fundamentals of Islam. They will turn their back from the basic principles of Islam, by declaring Values of Islam as Mullaism and retrogressive. These alive and kicking hypocrites, pose the greatest threat to Islam and Muslims.  Read more... (956 words, estimated 3:49 mins reading time)
