The following is a proof from a non-Muslim that it is not Muslims who introduced Terrorism during glorious period of 1300 years old Caliphate/Khilafah. Let me also add that before I ask some one to stop something, I must do it first. Thus Western World or so-called UN has no right to ask Iran, the land of great Saints like Hafiz, Shadi, and many others (Allah's/God's mercy on them all) to stop making WMD before Western World destroy his or her own WMD. And Muslims did not steal 4 Continents out of seven and it is Western World who did it and who are still illegally occupying those 4 Continents through power of WMD and false propaganda
Here I must note she, not I, is initiating the conversation based on a person’s Jewish and Islamic identity: The Church I founded less than a decade ago in Gaza was destroyed by Jews in an Apache helicopter firing a laser guided missile at it in 2001. I couldn’t begin to catalogue the Jewish attacks on churches in Palestine, or my ancestral church in south Lebanon and many like it. Have we already forgotten the damage to the Nativity Church in Bethlehem? Have we forgotten that the first suicide attack in Palestine and Israel was by a Israeli-armed Jew on worshippers in a mosque in Hebron (which brought CPT there)? Do we ignore Israeli Jew Gideon Levy who spoke this week of how, if Palestinians had access to F-16s and Apaches, they wouldn’t be committing suicide when they kill, like so many Israeli Jews who “protest by killing people" from the safety of remote protection in the air or in tanks or with uzis (I have been an eyewitness to this)?
It would be very interesting to ask why, according to the NY Times article below, Dr. Sultan has suddenly emerged as “an international sensation.” Is it because of her views on violence or because she speaks false propaganda that supports Israel’s violent occupation to the liking of their powerful fan club in the U.S.? Why has the incredible message of CPT, similar yet much more profound, yet based on experience in Hebron and thus diametrically opposed to the occupation, not received prominence from the crowd? Why aren’t they invited to speak in Israel?
Please promote authentic non-violence. Please do not promote, rather non-violently speak out against those who, seeing relationship and mutuality as a zero-sum game, are willing to falsify the record and diminish the suffering of some by justifying or masking the violence of others, distinguishing them by their religion or ethnicity. Dr. Sultan’s falsifications mask and promote the same kind of violence and bigotry she and I condemn.

Tens of thousands of people have staged protests across Iraq after a bomb attack heavily damaged one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam.
Dozens of Sunni mosques are reported to have been targeted and six Sunnis killed after a gang blew up the dome of the al-Askari shrine in Samarra.
This is surely one of the major sign of end time as this never happend in the past and during 1300 years of Caliphate/Khilafah or 1400 years of Islamic history. There is no protest from more than a billion Sunni Muslims that the holiest sites in question is holiest site for all Muslims including majority Sunni Muslims like other holiest sites in Najaf or Karbala as they were leaders and are revered by all Muslims and surely not by Shia Muslims only. All four Sunni Imams (Founders) of four Sunni Sects (Allah's/God's mercy on them) are students of Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (rahmat-Allahi ta'ala 'alaih).

In Washington, President Bush said in a statement, "The terrorists in Iraq have again proven that they are enemies of all faiths and of all humanity. . . . This senseless crime is an affront to people of faith throughout the world." He condemned the bombing as a "cowardly act" and urged Iraqis to "exercise restraint" as they pursue justice under the law. "Violence will only contribute to what the terrorists sought to achieve by this act," Bush said.
He pledged that the United States would work with Iraq "to rebuild and restore the Golden Mosque of Samarra to its former glory."

The book Qamus al-alam states: Al-Imam al-azam Abu Hanifa's name was Numan. His father's name was Thabit. His grandfather's name was Numan, too. He was the first of the four great imams of the Ahl as-Sunnat. 'Imam' means 'profoundly learned scholar.' He was one of the main pillars of the brilliant religion of Muhammad ('alaihi 's-salam). He was a descendant of a Persian notable. His grandfather had embraced Islam. He was born in Kufa in 80 (698 A.D.). He was born early enough to see Anas ibn Malik, 'Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa, Sahl ibn Sad as-Sa'idi and Abu al-Fadl Amir ibn Wasila, four Sahabis (radi-Allahu ta'ala anhum). He learned 'ilm al-fiqh from Hammad ibn Abi Sulaiman. He enjoyed the companionship of many notables of the Tabiin, and of Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (rahmat-Allahi ta'ala 'alaih)……………………
The Khalifa Mansur revered the Imam very much. He presented him ten thousand aqchas and a jariya. The Imam did not accept them. At that time one aqcha was worth one dirham of silver. In 145 A.H., Ibrahim ibn 'Abdullah ibn Hasan ibn 'Ali was recruiting men in order to help his brother Muhammad (rahmat-Allahi ta'ala 'alaihim ajmain), who had proclaimed himself the Khalifa in al-Madinat al-munawwara. When he came to Kufa, it was rumored that Abu Hanifa was helping him. Mansur heard this and had the Imam taken from Kufa to Baghdad. He told him to tell everybody that Mansur was rightfully the Khalifa. He offered him the presidency of the Supreme Court of Appeal as a recompense. He imposed on him very much. The Imam did not accept it. Mansur imprisoned him and had him thrashed with a stick thirty strokes. His blessed feet bled. Mansur repented and sent him thirty thousand aqchas, only to be refused again. He was imprisoned again and thrashed ten strokes more every day. [According to some report] on the eleventh day, for fear that the people might rebel, he was forced to lie down on his back and poisonous sherbet (a sweet fruit drink) was poured into his mouth. As he was about to die, he prostrated (sajda). Some fifty thousand people performed janaza salat for him. Because of the enormous crowd, it was performed with difficulty and finished not before the late afternoon prayer. For twenty days many people came to his tomb and performed janaza salat for him near his tomb.

I have been abroad and I know that in Europe they are using nuclear energy to purify water and for other things.
Therefore, it is our right to have this technology as well to use for peaceful means; although in other countries they use it for atomic bombs and drop it on our heads.
But mankind needs minimum food, medicine and cloth and not Bombs or WMD, which will be used in the skies of Iran, Iraq, Arab and Muslim World within next few months.
And present publishing of the cartoons/caricature by the civilized Europeans is part of that coming plan to nuke the Muslim world after their violent protest/reaction.

Our offensive against terror involves more than military action. Ultimately, the only way to defeat the terrorists is to defeat their dark vision of hatred and fear by offering the hopeful alternative of political freedom and peaceful change. So the United States of America supports democratic reform across the broader Middle East. Elections are vital, but they are only the beginning. Raising up a democracy requires the rule of law, and protection of minorities, and strong, accountable institutions that last longer than a single vote.

Who started war against Iran in 1980? What was the role of Britain in Arab World and Iraq during 1916? What was the role of T. E. Lawrence and what he promised to Arab?

The war between Iran and Iraq was one of the great human tragedies of recent Middle Eastern history. Perhaps as many as a million people died, many more were wounded, and millions were made refugees. The resources wasted on the war exceeded what the entire Third World spent on public health in a decade.<1>
The war began on September 22, 1980, when Iraqi troops launched a full-scale invasion of Iran. Prior to this date there had been subversion by each country inside the other and also major border clashes. Iraq hoped for a lightning victory against an internationally isolated neighbor in the throes of revolutionary upheaval. But despite Iraq's initial successes, the Iranians rallied and, using their much larger population, were able by mid-1982 to push the invaders out. In June 1982, the Iranians went over to the offensive, but Iraq, with a significant advantage in heavy weaponry, was able to prevent a decisive Iranian breakthrough. The guns finally fell silent on August 20, 1988.
The great people of Egypt have voted in a multi-party presidential election -- and now their government should open paths of peaceful opposition that will reduce the appeal of radicalism. The Palestinian people have voted in elections. And now the leaders of Hamas must recognize Israel, disarm, reject terrorism, and work for lasting peace. (Applause.) Saudi Arabia has taken the first steps of reform -- now it can offer its people a better future by pressing forward with those efforts. Democracies in the Middle East will not look like our own, because they will reflect the traditions of their own citizens. Yet liberty is the future of every nation in the Middle East, because liberty is the right and hope of all humanity. (Applause.)
What happened in Algeria after Islamic party owned the election and why? Who are responsible for the killing of thousands innocent people of Algeria?
Who will answer this question like many other questions like invasion of Central Asian Muslim countries by Russia including Chechnya and Afghanistan and killing of millions innocent people up to Russian Defeat in Afghanistan? Why Russian is still occupying Chechnya?
The same is true of Iran, a nation now held hostage by a small clerical elite that is isolating and repressing its people. The regime in that country sponsors terrorists in the Palestinian territories and in Lebanon -- and that must come to an end. (Applause.) The Iranian government is defying the world with its nuclear ambitions, and the nations of the world must not permit the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons. (Applause.) America will continue to rally the world to confront these threats.
Tonight, let me speak directly to the citizens of Iran: America respects you, and we respect your country. We respect your right to choose your own future and win your own freedom. And our nation hopes one day to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran. (Applause.)

Mohammed Musaddiq was elected Prime Minister of Iran with democracy. And it is Imam Khomeni who introduced democracy in Iran after
Islamic revolution in 1979. Iran is only democracy in entire Middle East except illegal Immigrants in Palestine and that democracy is limited to
Illegal European Immigrants in Palestine only and that democracy is not for original people of Palestine who live in refugee camps in Palestine, Lebanon and other part of Middle East. Thus Iran is only true Democracy in Middle East.
In August 1953 a coup overthrew Iran's nationalist government of Mohammed Musaddiq and installed the Shah in power. The Shah subsequently used widespread repression and torture in a dictatorship that lasted until the 1979 Islamic revolution. The 1953 coup is conventionally regarded primarily as a CIA operation, yet the planning record reveals not only that Britain was the prime mover in the initial project to overthrow the government but also that British resources contributed significantly to the eventual success of the operation. Two first-hand accounts of the Anglo-American sponsorship of the coup - by the MI6 (Murderer International number 6) and CIA officers primarily responsible for it - are useful in reconstructing events. (1) Many of the secret planning documents that reveal the British role have been removed from public access and some of them remain closed until the next century - for reasons of 'national security'. Nevertheless, a fairly clear picture still emerges. Churchill later told the CIA officer responsible for the operation that he 'would have loved nothing better than to have served under your command in this great venture'. (2)
So how this World can believe and what they should believe? Who got all WMD and where? Where is the Election of Caliph/Khalifah?

.......Shortly after the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Kitchener was recalled to London as secretary of state for war. By 1915, as British military fortunes in the Middle East deteriorated, Kitchener saw the usefulness of transferring the Islamic caliphate to an Arab candidate indebted to Britain, and he energetically sought Arab support for the war against Turkey. (The caliph, or successor to the Prophet Muhammad, was the traditional leader of the Islamic world.)
In Cairo Sir Henry McMahon, the first British high commissioner in Egypt, conducted an extensive correspondence from July 1915 to January 1916 with Husayn, two of whose sons--Abdullah, later king of Jordan, and Faysal, later king of Syria (ejected by the French in 1920) and of Iraq (1921-33)-- were to figure prominently in subsequent events.
In a letter to McMahon enclosed with a letter dated July 14, 1915, from Abdullah, Husayn specified an area for Arab independence under the "Sharifian Arab Government" consisting of the Arabian Peninsula (except Aden) and the Fertile Crescent of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. In his letter of October 24, 1915, to Husayn, McMahon, on behalf of the British government, declared British support for postwar Arab independence, subject to certain reservations and exclusions of territory not entirely Arab or concerning which Britain was not free "to act without detriment to the interests of her ally, France." The territories assessed by the British as not purely Arab included: "The districts of Mersin and Alexandretta, and portions of Syria lying to the west of the districts of Damascus, Homs, Hama, and Aleppo." As with the later Balfour Declaration, the exact meaning was not clear, although Arab spokesmen since then have usually maintained that Palestine was within the pledged area of independence. Although the Husayn- McMahon correspondence was not legally binding on either side, on June 5, 1916, Husayn launched the Arab Revolt against Turkey and in October declared himself "King of the Arabs." .....

No more lies and deception like the present illegal war of mass destruction against Iraq and no more planed coming war against Iran, a civilized country for many thousands years which like all other Muslims and Arabs countries never invaded America or Australia or Europe or illegally never occupied any continent like South America or North America or Australia though once they were in Spain and Eastern Europe as Minority without cleansing majority Christians and later vanished for generosity of European race after 800/500 years of Muslim rule there. Let us destroy all WMD in Moscow, London, Paris and all WMD under control of illegal European Immigrants in Palestine and North America and rest of this world to make this world a safe place to live.
Illegal Immigrants whose ancestors entered North America and South America during last several hundred years without any valid visa after the defeat of Muslims in Spain in 1492 and later in Australia and very recently in Palestine are the problem and not a solution. Though 99% OF THOSE ILLEGAL Immigrants are hard working nice and friendly people who do not bother to work 2/3 jobs for their survival; 1% people have been creating problem with vast interest based anti=Bible, anti-Quran and anti-God/Allah trillions of dollars of wealth. They must be stopped for the survival of earth and entire mankind from their WMD. No Muslim is a Threat to This World as true Muslims spend their time praying/remembering Allah/God all the times and not inventing any WMD. WMD is the gift to Mankind from Crusaders/Europeans to destroy this World. Kindly accept the truth as truth is beauty and beauty is the truth.
Human nature is to want more and more. If there is any Islamophobia, Khilafahphobia, Caliphatephobia, it is in so called Muslim majority land including Ryiadh, Holy Mecca and Holy Medina, Cairo, Amman, Sana, Dubai, Rabat, Ankara, Damascua etc and not in USA or in other European nation as Muslims are free to spread the message of Khilafah/Caliphate in USA or in Europe and not from the holy pulpit of Kaba in Mecca or holy pulpit of Prophet’s holy mosque in Medina (Peace be upon our holy Prophet) which are the right places to spread the message of Khilafah/Caliphate as from there in holy Medina Khilafah/Caliphate was established 1400 years ago and it was destoyed from London through the help of local agents who are now rulling Muslims land and have been spreading Khilafahphobia, Caliphatephobia in whole world bribing all scholars and so called Islamic Scholars so that those Islamic Scholars are remained silent.
So let me take you all to a great scholar whose translation of Holy Quran is read around this world every moment on the saddest event of entire mankind which
happened in same land of Iraq where East and West are dancing over human blood and human flesh every moment now at this end time of mankind and this earth.

Preface
The following pages are based on a report of an Address which I delivered in London at an Ashura Majlis on Thursday the 28th May, 1931 (Muharram 1350 A.H.), at the Waldorf Hotel. The report was subsequently corrected and slightly expanded. The Majlis was a notable gathering, which met at the invitation of Mr. A. S. M. Anik. Nawab Sir Umar Hayat Khan, Tiwana, presided and members of all schools of thought in Islam, as well as non-Muslims, joined reverently in doing honour to the memory of the great Martyr of Islam. By its inclusion in the Progressive Islam Pamphlets series, it is hoped to reach a larger public than were able to be present in person. Perhaps, also, it may help to strengthen the bonds of brotherly love which unite all who hold sacred the ideals of brotherhood preached by the Prophet in his last Sermon.

Imam Husain And His Martyrdom
Sorrow as a Bond of Union
I am going to talk this afternoon about a very solemn subject, the martyrdom of Imam Husain at Kerbela, of which we are celebrating the anniversary. As the Chairman has very rightly pointed out, it is one of those wonderful events in our religious history about which all sects are agreed. More than that, in this room I have the honour of addressing some people who do not belong to our religious persuasion, but I venture to think that the view I put forward today may be of interest to them from its historical, its moral and its spiritual significance. Indeed, when we consider the background of that great tragedy, and all that has happened during the 1289 lunar years since, we cannot fail to be convinced that some events of sorrow and apparent defeat are really the very things which are calculated to bring about, or lead us towards, the union of humanity.
How Martyrdom healed divisions
When we invite strangers or guests and make them free of our family circle, that means the greatest outflowing of our hearts to them. The events that I am going to describe refer to some of the most touching incidents of our domestic history in their spiritual aspect. We ask our brethren of other faiths to come, and share with us some of the thoughts which are called forth by this event. As a matter of fact all students of history are aware that the horrors that are connected with the great event of Kerbela did more than anything else to unite together the various contending factions which had unfortunately appeared at that early stage of Muslim history. You know the old Persian saying applied to the Prophet:
Tu barae wasl kardan amadi;
Ni barae fasl kardan amadi.
"Thou camest to the world to unite, not to divide."
That was wonderfully exemplified by the sorrows and sufferings and finally the martyrdom of Imam Husain.
Commemoration of great virtues
There has been in our history a tendency sometimes to celebrate the event merely by wailing and tribulation, or sometimes by symbols like the Tazias that you see in India, - Taboots as some people call them. Well, symbolism or visible emblems may sometimes be useful in certain circumstances as tending to crystallise ideas. But I think the Muslims of India of the present day are quite ready to adopt a more effective way of celebrating the martyrdom, and that is by contemplating the great virtues of the martyr, trying to understand the significance of the events in which he took part, and translating those great moral and spiritual lessons into their own lives. From that point of view I think you will agree that it is good that we should sit together, even people of different faiths, - sit together and consider the great historic event, in which were exemplified such soul-stirring virtues as those of unshaken faith, undaunted courage, thought for others, willing self-sacrifice, steadfastness in the right and unflinching war against the wrong. Islam has a history of beautiful domestic affections, of sufferings and of spiritual endeavour, second to none in the world. That side of Muslim history, although to me the most precious, is, I am sorry to say, often neglected. It is most important that we should call attention to it, reiterated attention, the attention of our own people as well as the attention of those who are interested in historical and religious truth. If there is anything precious in Islamic history it is not the wars, or the politics, or the brilliant expansion, or the glorious conquests, or even the intellectual spoils which our ancestors gathered. In these matters, our history, like all history, has its lights and shades. What we need especially to emphasise is the spirit of organisation, of brotherhood, of undaunted courage in moral and spiritual life.
Plan of discourse
I propose first to give you an idea of the geographical setting and the historical background. Then I want very briefly to refer to the actual events that happened in the Muharram, and finally to draw your attention to the great lessons which we can learn from them.
Geographical Picture
In placing before you a geographical picture of the tract of country in which the great tragedy was enacted, I consider myself fortunate in having my own personal memories to draw upon. They make the picture vivid to my mind, and they may help you also. When I visited those scenes in 1928, I remember going down from Baghdad through all that country watered by the Euphrates river. As I crossed the river by a bridge of boats at Al-Musaiyib on a fine April morning, my thoughts leapt over centuries and centuries. To the left of the main river you have the old classic ground of Babylonian history; you have the railway station of Hilla; you have the ruins of the city of Babylon, witnessing to one of the greatest civilisations of antiquity. It was so mingled with the dust that it is only in recent years that we have begun to understand its magnitude and magnificence. Then you have the great river system of the Euphrates, the Furat as it is called, a river unlike any other river we know. It takes its rise in many sources from the mountains of Eastern Armenia, and sweeping in great zig-zags through rocky country, it finally skirts the desert as we see it now. Wherever it or its interlacing branches or canals can reach, it has converted the desert into fruitful cultivated country; in the picturesque phrase, it has made the desert blossom as the rose. It skirts round the Eastern edge of the Syrian desert and then flows into marshy land. In a tract not far from Kerbela itself there are lakes which receive its waters, and act as reservoirs. Lower down it unites with the other river, the Tigris, and the united rivers flow in the name of the Shatt-al-Arab into the Persian Gulf.
Abundant water & tragedy of thirst
From the most ancient times this tract of the lower Euphrates has been a garden. It was a cradle of early civilisation, a meeting place between Sumer and Arab, and later between the Persians and Arabs. It is a rich, well watered country, with date-palms and pomegranate groves. Its fruitful fields can feed populous cities and its luscious pastures attract the nomad Arabs of the desert, with their great flocks and herds. It is of particularly tragic significance that on the border of such a well-watered land, should have been enacted the tragedy of great and good men dying of thirst and slaughtered because they refused to bend the knee to the forces of iniquity. The English poet's lines "Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink" are brought home forcibly to you in this borderland between abundant water and desolate sands.
Kerbela and Its Great Dome
I remember the emotion with which I approached Kerbela from the East. The rays of the morning sun gilt the Gumbaz-i-Faiz, the great dome that crowns the building containing the tomb of Imam Husain. Kerbela actually stands on one of the great caravan routes of the desert. Today the river city of Kufa, once a Khilafat capital, is a mere village, and the city of Najaf is famous for the tomb of Hazrat Ali, but of little commercial importance. Kerbela, this outpost of the desert, is a mart and a meeting ground as well as a sacred place. It is the port of the desert, just as Basra, lower down, is a port for the Persian Gulf. Beautifully kept is the road to the mausoleum, to which all through the year come pilgrims from all parts of the world. Beautiful coloured enamelled tiles decorate the building. Inside, in the ceiling and upper walls, there is a great deal of glass mosaic. The glass seems to catch and reflect the light. The effect is that of rich coruscations of light combined with the solemnity of a closed building. The tomb itself is in a sort of inner grill, and below the ground is a sort of cave, where is shown the actual place where the Martyr fell. The city of Najaf is just about 40 miles to the South, with the tomb of Hazrat Ali on the high ground. You can see the golden dome for miles around. Just four miles from Najaf and connected with it by a tramway, is the deserted city of Kufa. The mosque is large, but bare and practically unused. The blue dome and the Mihrab of enamelled tiles bear witness to the ancient glory of the place.
Cities and their Cultural Meaning
The building of Kufa and Basra, the two great outposts of the Muslim Empire, in the 16th year of the Hijra, was a visible symbol that Islam was pushing its strength and building up a new civilisation, not only in a military sense, but in moral and social ideas and in the sciences and arts. The old effete cities did not content it, any more than the old and effete systems which it displaced. Nor was it content with the first steps it took. It was always examining, testing, discarding, re-fashioning its own handiwork. There was always a party that wanted to stand on old ways, to take cities like Damascus readymade, that loved ease and the path of least resistance. But the greater souls stretched out to new frontiers - of ideas as well as geography. They felt that old seats were like dead wood breeding worms and rottenness that were a danger to higher forms of life. The clash between them was part of the tragedy of Kerbela. Behind the building of new cities there is often the burgeoning of new ideas. Let us therefore examine the matter a little more closely. It will reveal the hidden springs of some very interesting history.
Vicissitudes of Mecca and Medina
The great cities of Islam at its birth were Mecca and Medina. Mecca, the centre of old Arabian pilgrimage, the birthplace of the Prophet, rejected the Prophet's teaching, and cast him off. Its idolatry was effete; its tribal exclusiveness was effete; its ferocity against the Teacher of the New Light was effete. The Prophet shook its dust off his feet, and went to Medina. It was the well-watered city of Yathrib, with a considerable Jewish population. It received with eagerness the teaching of the Prophet; it gave asylum to him and his Companions and Helpers. He reconstituted it and it became the new City of Light. Mecca, with its old gods and its old superstitions, tried to subdue this new Light and destroy it. The human odds were in favour of Mecca. But God's purpose upheld the Light, and subdued the old Mecca. But the Prophet came to build as well as to destroy. He destroyed the old paganism, and lighted a new beacon in Mecca - the beacon of Arab unity and human brotherhood. When the Prophet's life ended on this earth, his spirit remained. It inspired his people and led them from victory to victory. Where moral or spiritual and material victories go hand in hand, the spirit of man advances all along the line. But sometimes there is a material victory, with a spiritual fall, and sometimes there is a spiritual victory with a material fall, and then we have tragedy.
Spirit of Damascus
Islam's first extension was towards Syria, where the power was centred in the city of
Damascus. Among living cities it is probably the oldest city in the world.
Its bazaars are thronged with men of all nations, and the luxuries of all nations find ready welcome there. If you come to it westward from the Syrian desert, as I did, the contrast is complete, both in the country and in the people. From the parched desert sands you come to fountains and vineyards, orchards and the hum of traffic. From the simple, sturdy, independent, frank Arab, you come to the soft, luxurious, sophisticated Syrian. That contrast was forced on the Muslims when Damascus became a Muslim city. They were in a different moral and spiritual atmosphere. Some succumbed to the softening influences of ambition, luxury, wealth pride of race, love of ease, and so on. Islam stood always as the champion of the great rugged moral virtues. It wanted no compromise with evil in any shape or form, with luxury, with idleness, with the seductions of this world. It was a protest against these things. And yet the representatives of that protest got softened at Damascus. They aped the decadent princes of the world instead of striving to be leaders of spiritual thought. Discipline was relaxed, and governors aspired to be greater than the Khalifas. This bore bitter fruit later.
Snare of Riches
Meanwhile Persia came within the Muslim orbit. When Medain was captured in the year 16 of the Hijra, and the battle of Jalula broke the Persian resistance, some military booty was brought to Medina - gems, pearls, rubies, diamonds, swords of gold and silver. A great celebration was held in honour of the splendid victory and the valour of the Arab army. In the midst of the celebration they found the Caliph of the day actually weeping. One said to him,
"What! a time of joy and thou sheddest tears?" "Yes", he said, "I foresee that the riches will become a snare, a spring of worldliness and envy, and in the end a calamity to my people." For the Arab valued, above all, simplicity of life, openness of character, and bravery in face of danger. Their women fought with them and shared their dangers. They were not caged creatures for the pleasures of the senses. They showed their mettle in the early fighting round the head of the Persian Gulf. When the Muslims were hard pressed, their women turned the scale in their favour. They made their veils into flags, and marched in battle array. The enemy mistook them for reinforcements and abandoned the field. Thus an impending defeat was turned into a victory.
Basra and Kufa: town-planning
In Mesopotamia the Muslims did not base their power on old and effete Persian cities, but built new outposts for themselves. The first they built was Basra at the head of the Persian Gulf, in the 17th year of the Hijra. And what a great city it became! Not great in war and conquest, not great in trade and commerce, but great in learning and culture in its best day, - alas! also great in its spirit of faction and degeneracy in the days of its decline! But its situation and climate were not at all suited to the Arab character. It was low and moist, damp and enervating. In the same year the Arabs built another city not far off from the Gulf and yet well suited to be a port of the desert, as Kerbela became afterwards. This was the city of Kufa, built in the same year as Basra, but in a more bracing climate. It was the first experiment in town-planning in Islam. In the centre was a square for the principal mosque. That square was adorned with shady avenues. Another square was set apart for the trafficking of the market. The streets were all laid out intersecting and their width was fixed. The main thoroughfares for such traffic as they had (we must not imagine the sort of traffic we see in Charing Cross) were made 60 feet wide; the cross streets were 30 feet wide; and even the little lanes for pedestrians were regulated to a width of 10.5 feet. Kufa became a centre of light and learning. The Khalifa Hazrat Ali lived and died there.
Rivalry and poison of Damascus
But its rival, the city of Damascus, fattened on luxury and Byzantine magnificence. Its tinsel glory sapped the foundations of loyalty and the soldierly virtues. Its poison spread through the Muslim world. Governors wanted to be kings. Pomp and selfishness, ease and idleness and dissipation grew as a canker; wines and spirituous liquors, scepticism, cynicism and social vices became so rampant that the protests of the men of God were drowned in mockery. Mecca, which was to have been a symbolical spiritual centre, was neglected or dishonoured. Damascus and Syria became centres of a worldliness and arrogance which cut at the basic roots of Islam.
Husain the Righteous refused to bow to worldliness and power
We have brought the story down to the 60th year of the Hijra. Yazid assumed the power at Damascus. He cared nothing for the most sacred ideals of the people. He was not even interested in the ordinary business affairs of administration. His passion was hunting, and he sought power for self-gratification. The discipline and self-abnegation, the strong faith and earnest endeavour, the freedom and sense of social equality which had been the motive forces of Islam, were divorced from power. The throne at Damascus had become a worldly throne based on the most selfish ideas of personal and family aggrandisement, instead of a spiritual office, with a sense of God-given responsibility. The decay of morals spread among the people. There was one man who could stem the tide. That was Imam Husain. He, the grandson of the Prophet, could speak without fear, for fear was foreign to his nature. But his blameless and irreproachable life was in itself a reproach to those who had other standards. They sought to silence him, but he could not be silenced. They sought to bribe him, but he could not be bribed. They sought to waylay him and get him into their Power. What is more, they wanted him to recognise the tyranny and expressly to support it. For they knew that the conscience of the people might awaken at any time, and sweep them away unless the holy man supported their cause. The holy man was prepared to die rather than surrender the principles for which he stood.
Driven from city to city
Medina was the centre of Husain's teaching. They made Medina impossible for him.
He left Medina and went to Mecca, hoping that he would be left alone. But he was not left alone. The Syrian forces invaded Mecca. The invasion was repelled, not by Husain but by other people. For Husain, though the bravest of the brave, had no army and no worldly weapons. His existence itself was an offence in the eyes of his enemies. His life was in danger, and the lives of all those nearest and dearest to him. He had friends everywhere, but they were afraid to speak out. They were not as brave as he was. But in distant Kufa, a party grew up which said: "We are disgusted with these events, and we must have Imam Husain to take asylum with us." So they sent and invited the Imam to leave Mecca, come to them, live in their midst, and be their honoured teacher and guide. His father's memory was held in reverence in Kufa. The Governor of Kufa was friendly, and the people eager to welcome him. But alas, Kufa had neither strength, nor courage, nor constancy. Kufa, geographically only 40 miles from Kerbela, was the occasion of the tragedy of Kerbela. And now Kufa is nearly gone, and Kerbela remains as the lasting memorial of the martyrdom.
Invitation from Kufa
When the Kufa invitation reached the Imam, he pondered over it, weighed its possibilities, and consulted his friends. He sent over his cousin Muslim to study the situation on the spot and report to him. The report was favourable, and he decided to go. He had a strong presentiment of danger. Many of his friends in Mecca advised him against it. But could he abandon his mission when Kufa was calling for it? Was he the man to be deterred, because his enemies were laying their plots for him, at Damascus and at Kufa? At least, it was suggested, he might leave his family behind. But his family and his immediate dependants would not hear of it. It was a united family, pre-eminent in the purity of its life and in its domestic virtues and domestic affections. If there was danger for its head, they would share it. The Imam was not going on a mere ceremonial visit. There was responsible work to do, and they must be by his side, to support him in spite of all its perils and consequences. Shallow critics scent political ambition in the Imam's act. But would a man with political ambitions march without an army against what might be called the enemy country, scheming to get him into its power, and prepared to use all their resources, military, political and financial, against him?
Journey through the desert
Imam Husain left Mecca for Kufa with all his family including his little children. Later news from Kufa itself was disconcerting. The friendly governor had been displaced by one prepared more ruthlessly to carry out Yazid's plans. If Husain was to go there at all, he must go there quickly, or his friends themselves would be in danger. On the other hand, Mecca itself was no less dangerous to him and his family. It was the month of September by the solar calendar, and no one would take a long desert journey in that heat, except under a sense of duty. By the lunar calendar it was the month of pilgrimage at Mecca. But he did not stop for the pilgrimage. He pushed on, with his family and dependants, in all numbering about 90 or 100 people, men, women and children. They must have gone by forced marches through the desert. They covered the 900 miles of the desert in little over three weeks. When they came within a few miles of Kufa, at the edge of the desert, they met people from Kufa. It was then that they heard of the terrible murder of Husain's cousin Muslim, who had been sent on in advance. A poet that came by dissuaded the Imam from going further. "For," he said epigramatically, "the heart of the city is with thee but its sword is with thine enemies, and the issue is with God." What was to be done? They were three weeks' journey from the city they had left. In the city to which they were going their own messenger had been foully murdered as well as his children. They did not know what the actual situation was then in Kufa. But they were determined not to desert their friends.
Call to Surrender or Die
Presently messengers came from Kufa, and Imam Husain was asked to surrender. Imam Husain offered to take one of three alternatives. He wanted no political power and no revenge. He said "I came to defend my own people. If I am too late, give me the choice of three alternatives: either to return to Mecca; or to face Yazid himself at Damascus; or if my very presence is distasteful to him and you, I do not wish to cause more divisions among the Muslims. Let me at least go to a distant frontier, where, if fighting must be done, I will fight against the enemies of Islam." Every one of these alternatives was refused. What they wanted was to destroy his life, or better still, to get him to surrender, to surrender to the very forces against which he was protesting, to declare his adherence to those who were defying the law of God and man, and to tolerate all the abuses which were bringing the name of Islam into disgrace. Of course he did not surrender. But what was he to do? He had no army. He had reasons to suppose that many of his friends from distant parts would rally round him, and come and defend him with their swords and bodies. But time was necessary, and he was not going to gain time by feigned compliance. He turned a little round to the left, the way that would have led him to Yazid himself, at Damascus. He camped in the plain of Kerbela.
Water cut off; Inflexible will, Devotion and Chivalry
For ten days messages passed backwards and forwards between Kerbela and Kufa. Kufa wanted surrender and recognition. That was the one thing the Imam could not consent to. Every other alternative was refused by Kufa, under the instructions from Damascus. Those fateful ten days were the first ten days of the month of Muharram, of the year 61 of the Hijra. The final crisis was on the 10th day, the Ashura day, which we are commemorating. During the first seven days various kinds of pressure were brought to bear on the Imam, but his will was inflexible. It was not a question of a fight, for there were but 70 men against 4,000. The little band was surrounded and insulted, but they held together so firmly that they could not be harmed. On the 8th day the water supply was cut off. The Euphrates and its abundant streams were within sight, but the way was barred. Prodigies of valour were performed in getting water. Challenges were made for single combat according to Arab custom. And the enemy were half-hearted, while the Imam's men fought in contempt of death, and always accounted for more men than they lost. On the evening of the 9th day, the little son of the Imam was ill. He had fever and was dying of thirst. They tried to get a drop of water. But that was refused point blank and so they made the resolve that they would, rather than surrender, die to the last man in the cause for which they had come. Imam Husain offered to send away his people. He said, "They are after my person; my family and my people can go back." But everyone refused to go. They said they would stand by him to the last, and they did. They were not cowards; they were soldiers born and bred; and they fought as heroes, with devotion and with chivalry.
The Final Agony; placid face of the man of God
On the day of Ashura, the 10th day, Imam Husain's own person was surrounded by his enemies. He was brave to the last. He was cruelly mutilated. His sacred head was cut off while in the act of prayer. A mad orgy of triumph was celebrated over his body. In this crisis we have details of what took place hour by hour. He had 45 wounds from the enemies' swords and javelins, and 35 arrows pierced his body. His left arm was cut off, and a javelin pierced through his breast. After all that agony, when his head was lifted up on a spear, his face was the placid face of a man of God. All the men of that gallant band were exterminated and their bodies trampled under foot by the horses. The only male survivor was a child, Husain's son Ali, surnamed Zain-ul-'Abidin - "The Glory of the Devout." He lived in retirement, studying, interpreting, and teaching his father's high spiritual principles for the rest of his life.
Heroism of the Women
There were women: for example, Zainab the sister of the Imam, Sakina his little daughter, and Shahr-i-Banu, his wife, at Kerbela. A great deal of poetic literature has sprung up in Muslim languages, describing the touching scenes in which they figure. Even in their grief and their tears they are heroic. They lament the tragedy in simple, loving, human terms. But they are also conscious of the noble dignity of their nearness to a life of truth reaching its goal in the precious crown of martyrdom. One of the best-known poets of this kind is the Urdu poet Anis, who lived in Lucknow, and died in 1874.
Lesson of the Tragedy
That briefly is the story. What is the lesson? There is of course the physical suffering in martyrdom, and all sorrow and suffering claim our sympathy, ---- the dearest, purest, most outflowing sympathy that we can give. But there is a greater suffering than physical suffering. That is when a valiant soul seems to stand against the world; when the noblest motives are reviled and mocked; when truth seems to suffer an eclipse. It may even seem that the martyr has but to say a word of compliance, do a little deed of non-resistance; and much sorrow and suffering would be saved; and the insidious whisper comes: "Truth after all can never die." That is perfectly true. Abstract truth can never die. It is independent of man's cognition. But the whole battle is for man's keeping hold of truth and righteousness. And that can only be done by the highest examples of man's conduct - spiritual striving and suffering enduring firmness of faith and purpose, patience and courage where ordinary mortals would give in or be cowed down, the sacrifice of ordinary motives to supreme truth in scorn of consequence. The martyr bears witness, and the witness redeems what would otherwise be called failure. It so happened with Husain. For all were touched by the story of his martyrdom, and it gave the deathblow to the politics of Damascus and all it stood for. And Muharram has still the power to unite the different schools of thought in Islam, and make a powerful appeal to non-Muslims also.
Explorers of Spiritual Territory
That, to my mind, is the supreme significance of martyrdom. All human history shows that the human spirit strives in many directions, deriving strength and sustenance from many sources. Our bodies, our physical powers, have developed or evolved from earlier forms, after many struggles and defeats. Our intellect has had its martyrs, and our great explorers have often gone forth with the martyrs' spirit. All honour to them. But the highest honour must still lie with the great explorers of spiritual territory, those who faced fearful odds and refused to surrender to evil. Rather than allow a stigma to attach to sacred things, they paid with their own lives the penalty of resistance. The first kind of resistance offered by the Imam was when he went from city to city, hunted about from place to place, but making no compromise with evil. Then was offered the choice of an effectual but dangerous attempt at clearing the house of God, or living at ease for himself by tacit abandonment of his striving friends. He chose the path of danger with duty and honour, and never swerved from it giving up his life freely and bravely. His story purifies our emotions. We can best honour his memory by allowing it to teach us courage and constancy.

From Mali to Tanzania, from Bangladesh to Indonesia, poverty hobbles many nascent democracies, which cannot prevent terrorists from operating on their territory or contain outbreaks of disease. To strengthen weak states, we must do more than promote democracy. We must join with others to build state capacity, in substantial part by helping to alleviate poverty.
The administration's focus is also too limited geographically. The secretary said, referring to the Middle East: "In one region of the world . . . the problems emerging from the character of regimes are more urgent than in any other."
Perhaps, but unless we focus on building state capacity in other regions, we will fall far short in thwarting transnational threats, which can emanate from anywhere.
Finally, if freedom is key to our national security, why is the administration ambivalent about implementing this policy outside Iraq? The president's fiscal 2006 budget requested $30 million less for his Middle East Partnership Initiative than did the previous year's. That same budget also reduced democracy funds for the former Soviet Union.
Thus Election in Iraq will fail until there is Election for a Caliph/Khalifah for whole Muslim World.

"It is difficult to anticipate the exact effects the "abolition" of Khilafah will have on the minds of Muslims in India. I can safely affirm that it will prove a disaster both to Islam and to civilization. The suppression of the time honoured institution which was, through out the Muslim world, regarded as a symbol of Islamic unity will cause the disintegration of Islam...., I fear that the removal of this ideal will drive the unadvanced and semi-civilized peoples..., into ranks of revolution and disorder."

Jesus began his 3 1/2 year ministry in Jerusalem by driving the corrupt moneychangers from the Temple. He also ended His ministry by attacking the same thieves. It was the only time that the Lord used force during his earthly life.
"And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise" (John 2:13-16).
"Oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, does not restore the pledge, lifts up his eyes to the idols, commits abomination, lends at interest, and takes increase; shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominable things; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon himself "(Ezekiel 18:12-13). Revised Standard Version.
MONEY is the lifeblood of civilization and USURY is the poison that kills it just like vaccination poisons human blood!!
The Law of Moses strictly prohibited usury
"If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury "(Exodus 22:25). "Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase" (Lev. 25:37). "Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury "(Deut. 23:19). "He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved" (PS. 15:5).
Usury is condemned in the Bible; usury was condemned among pagan nations and usury was condemned by the early church.

http://www.reformation.org/catholic-dictionary-usury.html
Usury. Usury in its wider signification, means all gain made by lending. This is a sense which usury often has in the classics, and so understood usury occurs whenever a man lends capital at interest. Now, however, usury signifies unjust gain on a loan, unjust because not justified by the loss, risk, etc., of the lender or the advantage to the borrower, or because the amount of gain is exorbitant. In this latter case usury is forbidden both by the natural law and by the Bible. It is always unjust, and its wickedness is aggravated when advantage is taken of the needs of the poor to secure usurious interest. But we shall see presently that both in the Old Testament and for a long time in Christian legislation little distinction was made between the two kinds of interest. The laws of the Old Testament on the subject had a more important influence on Christian feeling, so that something must be said about the former here

http://islamic-world.net/khalifah/definition.htm
KHALIFAH is an Arabic word literally meaning "one who replaces someone else who left or died" (English: caliph). In the context of Islam, however, the word acquires a narrower meaning. The Muslim Khalifa is the successor (in a line of successors) to Prophet Muhammad's position as the political, military, and administrative leader of the Muslims. The prophetic role of Muhammad is strictly not included in this definition, as the Qur'an and Hadith clearly state that Muhammad was the last of the prophets. Khilafa is a related Arabic word which, in the context of Islam, is used to denote the government of the Muslim state, of which the Khalifa is the head. A workable analogy of Khalifa and Khilafa is president and presidency or king and monarchy. The Khilafa is a fard kifaya on the ummah.

Dear Brothers,
I look forward to a united Muslim Ummah and good governance that eliminate injustice and oppression for the sake of the comprehensive Muslim development that eradicates destitution and poverty. I also look forward to the spread of moderation that embodies the Islamic concept of tolerance. Moreover, I look forward to Muslim inventors and industrialists, to an advanced Muslim technology, and Muslim youth who work for their life just as they work for the Hereafter, without excess or negligence, without any kind of extremism.
Revival begins with a hope, which turns into an idea and then becomes an objective. Yet, our Ummah is capable of achieving its objectives, if it could place its trust in Allah alone and rest deeply assured by His words that “Allah will never change the grace He hath bestowed on any people unity they first change what is in their hearts” and His promise, Exalted Be His Name, “If you will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you and establish your feet firmly”.
But who will ask the above king that unity of World Muslims depends on only Khilafah/Caliphate not to any illegal Kingdoms of client States like Saudi Arab or Jordan or Egypt or Syria or UAE and so on.
Can some one ask him i.e. King Abdullah on above?
And the speech of head of so called OIC is another deceitful speech ignoring the unity under Khilafah/Caliphate like European Union/NATO, USA, China, India with so many languages and diversity of people. In fact if you visit USA, you visit whole world as people from all part of this World are united here in USA as one nation on earth.

We have raised this issue with a number of international organizations in the West.

We requested that laws in their respective countries may be enacted to ban the practices of Islamophobia and offer protection to Muslims. We have submitted the matter to the United Nations. The Geneva-based Human Rights Commission has adopted a recommendation denouncing hate campaigns, zealotry and defamation against Muslims. We have established a monitoring body to identify document and deal with all anti-Islamic Campaigns.
We must pay attention to issues of communal and ethnic tension and combat terrorism by addressing its root causes whether it is perpetrated by individuals, groups or states. Terrorism is a crime which must be renounced by every Muslim.

The pieces of the game.
“We were convinced that this would be the last war in human history.”
(not yet though)
- Sir John Glubb -
Three key-terms are here noteworthy :Independence, Confederation, and Caliphate.
Clayton acknowledged that they were conceded to the Arabs; the rest will be matter of confusion among the Arabs themselves. He did not say however, that the confusion was also British, but he was aware of it, for his letter aimed at allaying India's government.
Clayton's view was by the time shared by Lawrence, who, in a famous text headlined" the politics of Mecca", expounded clearly the British scheme in the Middle East, likely as viewed by his friends. The text is worth quoting:
" Sherif Hussein is not working in the British Interests, except in so far as they further the particular dreams and hopes of the political party to which he belongs. His aim is the establishment of a Caliphate (not the only one) for himself, and independence for people speaking Arabic from their present irritating subjection to people speaking Turkish. His aims are thus in definite opposition to the Pan-Islamic party (the Arab Nationalists) who are his strong obstacle, and to the Young Turk party, who are however less dangerous to his schemes; his activity seems beneficial to us, because it marches with our immediate aims, the break up of the Islamic block and the defeat and disruption of the ottoman Empire, and because the states he would set up to succeed the Turks would be as harmless to ourselves as Turkey was before she became a tool in German hands. The Arabs are even less stable than the Turks . If properly handed they would remain in a state of political mosaic, a tissue of small jealous principalities, incapable of cohesion and yet always ready to combine against an outside force. The alternative to this seems to be the control and colonization by a European power other than ourselves which would inevitably come into conflict with the interests we already possess in the Near East (...) If we can only arrange that his (: Sherif Hussein) political change shall be a violent one, we will have abolished the threat of Islam, by dividing it against itself in its very heart. There will be a Khalifa in Turkey and a Khalifa in Arabia, in theological warfare, and Islam will be as little formidable as the Papacy when Popes lived in Avignon." (xxv)
It is a strange text of Lawrence, and certainly the less romantic of all he had written! We must note that it had been written in January 1916; therefore even before the establishment of the Arab Bureau in Cairo. That is to mean that these ideas were in the air, so to say. But more important is the acknowledgement of the" colonization by a European power other than ourselves"- probably France- that will conflict with the British interests. Lawrence will never give up to the French whom he considers as a potential enemy. The text shows also his fear of the Pan-Islamism that made him unconcerned with Ibn Saud and his Wahabi Ikhwan, and the confusion with the Arab Nationalism.
If the revolt was to be secular, how could it be accommodated with the idea of two Caliphates, theological warfare, and the alike?
The text may appear as a crusade against the political power of Islam. But at the time, it was a commonplace regarding the Turkish call to the Holy War. Moreover, Lawrence had never hidden that he had acted for a secular power in the Arab world. He was somehow an "internationalist" before time. He had preceded Trotsky without being a communist, and paved the way to the "International Brigades" of Spain in the thirties. Malraux and Hemingway would recognize themselves in his work, as well as other insurgents .We must remember that in the same period the Bolshevik Revolution broke out in Russia. Thus, to the question: Why Lawrence's legend has been so strong? We may find many answers. The simplest is perhaps that he had covered the British very matter-of-fact interests through one of the finest and most pathetic prose ever written till that date about revolutions. Then, may be had he dreamed to be the "bridge" between two civilizations that have some grounds to share, in the same measure that they remain distinct and sometimes contradictory. But his tragedy was perhaps that he did not know where exactly was the limit.-
So how can we go to International Court of Justice to get a fair trial on above true Terrorism to stop present war which started in 1916 in Arab World, 1757 in India though it was stopped in present India as it is Hindu majority land for ever except Pakistan and Afganistan, both Muslim majority land and 1492 in Spain after which several vast Continents were stolen from rest of mankind from present billions of people with vast resources?.
Please click here to know First war against Iraq a province of Caliphate and center of Abbaside Caliphate in April 1916, he participated to a curious mission. The Turks had surrounded the troops of General Townshend at Kut al-Amara in Iraq, and all the efforts to break off the siege were vain. Townshend persuaded the British government to bribe the Turkish commander, Khalil Pasha, with a million gold sovereigns (which became later two millions) in return for lifting the siege. Colonel Aubrey Herbert, M.P., Colonel Beach of the Iraq command, and Captain Lawrence of the Intelligence Service were chosen to negotiate with Khalil Pasha. In the same time, Lawrence would seek the means by which a revolt in Iraq would be possible. As he said in the S.P.W.: “ We had hopes in Mesopotamia. The beginning of the Arab Independence Movement had been there, under the vigorous but unscrupulous impulse of Seyid Taleb, and later of Yasin el Hashimi and the military league. Aziz al Masri, Enver’s rival, who was living, much indebted to us, in Egypt, was an idol of the Arab officers. He was approached by Lord Kitchener in the first days of the war, with the hope of winning the Turkish Mesopotamian forces to our side.”(xxxvi).

4) The Euphrates will Disclose a Mountain of Gold
The Final Hour will not come until the river Euphrates (which flows through Syria and Iraq and finally opens in the Gulf) will disclose a mountain of gold over which people will fight and die Abu Hurairah Radiallahu Anhu reported that the Messenger of Allah said:
"The shall not occur until the Euphrateswill disclosea mountain of gold, over which people will fight.
99 out of every hundred shall die, and every one of them shall say, 'perchance I shall be the one to succeed"
(Muslim)
Thus every race/nation will be effected with preasent war in Iraq as all races originated in Iraq and Arabia i.e. holy Mecca from Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) who landed
in holy Mecca from heaven and built first place of worship i.e. present Kaba and it was rebuilt by Prophet Ibrahim and his first son (peace be upon them)
In another narration we have been told that who ever is present at the time when the Euphrates discloses a mountain of gold should not take the gold.

Vol-III The Book of Destructive evils 29
Islam-29 : 22),
the Prophet (AS) said : It is diffusion of light, when light falls in soul, heart expands and spreads. The Prophet prayed for Ibn Abbas : 0 God, give him knowledge of religion and of interpretation. Hazrat Ali said : There is nothing which the Prophet concealed from us.' God gives the knowledge of the Quran to some of His servants. It is not acquired knowledge.
God says: He gives wisdom to whom He likes-12:229. This knowledge is said to be that of God's Book. God says: I gave Solomon its knowledge-21 : 79. He specialised Solomon with knowledge. Hazrat Abu Darda'a said: A believer is he who by the help of God's light sees everything from behind the screen. By God. it is true that God casts truth in soul and for that it is disclosed in his tongue. An ancient sage said : Fear the sight of a believer as he looks only by the help of divine light. The clue is found in the following verse : In it there are signs for those who enquire. God says : I make clear the signs to a people with certain faith-12: 118. The Prophet said: 'Learning is of two kinds-one kind of learning lies concealed in soul and it is the benefiting learning.' One learned man was asked about this and he said That is a secret matter out of the secret matters of God. God casts it in the souls of His dear servants Angels or ordinary men do not get clue to it. The learned man is he who learns from his God. This is knowledge from the Almighty called Ilhame Laduni (secret knowledge). God says: I have taught him learning from Myself-18 : 65. Some knowledge comes from God and some knowledge is acquired through the medium of men. It cannot be called secret knowledge which is such a knowledge which arises from the deep bottom of soul without any reason. The Quran and Hadis support it' The following are some examples of Ilme Laduni or secret knowledge.
(1) Hazrat Abu Bakr at the time of his death said to Hazrat Ayesha : They are both your brother and sister.
At that time, his wife was pregnant and she gave birth thereafter to a daughter. He came to know beforehand that he would have a daughter born to him.
(2) One day Hazrat Omar said at the time of his sermon : 0 army, towards the hillock, towards the hillock. When he came to know by Kashf or secret knowledge that the enemies were about to kill the Muslim soldiers, he cautioned them and called them to
(30 Soul and its Attributes Vol-III)
assemble in the hillock. It is wonderful that the call soon reached the Muslim soldiers (though probably there were hundreds miles away).
Commander of that army heard Calip's order and Muslim army was saved from defeat.

Omar in Jerusalem
The Caliph left Ali in Medina as his deputy and himself left for Jerusalem. He had only one attendant with him and only one camel to ride. Omar and the attendant rode the camel by turns. It happened to be the servant's turn to ride on the day when they were to reach Jerusalem. "Commander of the Faithful," said the attendant, "I give up my turn. It will look awkward, in the eyes of the people, if I ride and you lead the camel."
"Oh no," replied Omar, "I am not going to be unjust. The honor of Islam is enough for us all."
Abu Obaid, Khalid, Yazid and other officers of the army went some distance to receive the Caliph. All of them were wearing silk cloaks. This made Omar angry. He took some pebbles and threw them at his generals, saying, "Have you changed so much in just two years? What dress is this? Even if you had done this two hundred years from now, I would have dismissed you."
The officers replied, "Commander of the Faithful, we are in a land where the quality of clothes worn tells the rank of a man. If we wear ordinary clothes, we will command little respect among the people. However, we are wearing our arms underneath the silken robes."
This answer cooled down the anger of the Caliph.
Next the Caliph signed the treaty of peace. It ran as follow
"From the servant of Allah and the Commander of the Faithful, Omar: The inhabitants of Jerusalem are granted security of life and property. Their churches and crosses shall be secure. This treaty applies to all people of the city. Their places of worship shall remain intact. These shall neither be taken over nor pulled down. People shall be quite free to follow their religion. They shall not be put to any trouble..."
The gates of the city were now opened. Omar went straight to the Temple of David (Masjid-i-Aqsa). Here he said his prayer under David's Arch.
Next he visited the biggest Christian church of the city. He was in the church when the time for the afternoon prayer came.
"You may say your prayers in the church," said the Bishop.
"No," replied Omar, "if I do so, the Muslims may one day make this an excuse for taking over the church from you."
So he said his prayers on the steps of the church. Even then, he gave the Bishop a writing. It said that the steps were never to be used for congregational prayers nor was the Adhan [ call to prayer ] to be said there.
It looks from all sign that the end day has come and another great war is coming very soon which will be worse than present war in Iraq; land of all races as Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), Peace be upon him is from Iraq and all human being was originated from Iraq and Arabia. Read more below:

Blair considers UN sanctions as he speaks of 'revulsion' at Iranian President's speech
By Anne Penketh and Colin Brown
Published: 28 October 2005
Blair considers UN sanctions as he speaks of 'revulsion' at Iranian President's speech Tony Blair has condemned President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's outburst on Israel
Tony Blair last night warned Iran that western public opinion would demand action over the call by the Iranian President for Israel to be "wiped off the map" as international outrage mounted.
The Prime Minister spoke of his personal anger and 'revulsion' at the remarks which threaten to plunge relations between Iran and the West into a fresh and dangerous crisis. 'I have never come across a situation of a president of a country saying they want to wipe out another country,' he said.
Article Length: 703 words (approx.)
But what Prime Minister Blair forgot is that it was his tribe and Britain, which wiped off the map of 1300 years old Caliphate after 1916
through same lies and deception as present war against Iraq and I challenge Prime Minister Blair to face me through any media like BBC or CNN or media of foxes to face me any time and any where on that true history of lies and deception of Britain. Thus present Great War in Iraq was imposed on World Muslims since 1916 if not since 1492 or 1757.
Has Mr. Blair the courage to face me before people’s court through any mass media? I need this answer as soon as possible to end present war and destruction.
Is Prime Minister Blair ready to compensate people of Iraq for killing Iraqis and destroying their wealth during 1921?
And I ask Prime Minister Blair to read the following history from his own office document:
"We must put an end to anything which brings about any Islamic unity between the sons of the Muslims. As we have already succeeded in finishing off the Khilafah, so we must ensure that there will never arise again unity for the Muslims, whether it be intellectual or cultural unity" "The situation now is that Turkey is dead and will never rise again, because we have destroyed its moral strength, the Khilafah and Islam" - Lord Curzon, British Foreign Minister, in front of the House of Commons after the Lausanne Treaty of July 24th 1924.
Britain succeeded in divorcing our system, the Khilafah/Caliphate, from our lives.
We are now living in the law of Jungle for the power of WMD i.e. Weapon of mass destruction and women of mass destruction that is why Britain and other Western countries can deport any Muslims who have been living for 10 years, 20 years or 50 years but not 1300 years old Caliphate or Muslim country. If west can deport illegal Immigrants from Britain and other Western countries Muslims can also deport illegal Immigrants in Palestine and other Muslim land and that is law of equality and justice. Muslims never knew the term Illegal Immigrants and it is the Western World who invented this term and World belongs to Allah/God and human being is free to go anywhere they like and during Caliphate Muslims or Jews or Christians were free to move anywhere they liked. Thus Spanish Jews settled in Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Palestine, India and other Muslim countries after 1492 and they were not threatened to be deported, as they were Jews. Please read a history book written by Jews and one such famous book is The Secret Jews, by Dr. Joachim Prinz.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_East_India_Company
At the time of the American revolution the East India Company flag would have been identical to the Grand Union Flag . The flag probably inspired the Stars and Stripes (as argued by Sir Charles Fawcett in 1937 ). [1] Comparisons between the Stars and Stripes and the Company's flag from historical records present some convincing arguments. The John Company flag dates back to the 1600s whereas the United States adopted the Stars and Stripes in 1777 [2]
And We Muslims are not traitors or Terrorists, You Anglo Saxons are. That history is here below:
Based in Leadenhall Street http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadenhall_Street, London http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London, the company presided over the creation of the British Raj . In 1717 , the Company received a royal dictate from the Mughal Emperor exempting the Company from the payment of custom duties in Bengal , giving it a decided commercial advantage in the Indian trade. A decisive victory by Sir Robert Clive at the Battle of Plassey in 1757 established the British East India Company as a military as well as a commercial power. By 1760 , the French were driven out of India, with the exception of a few trading posts on the coast, such as Pondicherry.
And you Anglo Saxons were looters of my country, Bengal and India. You entered India as Immigrant and became ruler for 200 years through true lies and deception.

The Company saw the rise of its fortunes, and its transformation from a trading venture to a ruling enterprise, when one of its military officials, Robert Clive, defeated the forces of the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-daulah , at the Battle of Plassey in 1757. A few years later the Company acquired the right to collect revenues on behalf of the Mughal Emperor, but the initial years of its administration were calamitous for the people of Bengal. The Company's servants were largely a rapacious and self-aggrandizing lot, and the plunder of Bengal left the formerly rich province in a state of utter destitution. The famine of 1769-70, which the Company's policies did nothing to alleviate,
may have taken the lives of as many as a third of the population.
The Company, despite the increase in trade and the revenues coming in from other sources, found itself burdened with massive military expenditures, and its destruction seemed imminent. State intervention put the ailing Company back on its feet, and Lord North's India Bill, also known as the Regulating Act of 1773, provided for greater parliamentary control over the affairs of the Company, besides placing India under the rule of a Governor-General.
So please stop propaganda against us every day through your evil medias.
Killing of innocent people here and there from sky or in land or in sea or taking one’s own life is a great sin. Thus those who claim to be Muslim must pray and remember Mowla (Lord of all worlds) all the time and do nothing without his direct permission. If Muslims can get permission from Mowla for certain act, Muslims will win and will not be defeated and above all rest of mankind will love Muslims and follow them as many of them did in the past. Muslims must be good example for rest of mankind so rest of mankind follows Islam. Look at the sky of Afghanistan or Iraq or rest of Muslims World that no fighter bomber fell apart and they flew freely and it cannot happen without permission of Allah/Mowla (SWT) as Allah said in Holy Quran:
Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the Ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which Allah Sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they Trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth;- (Here) indeed are Signs for a people that are wise. (Chapter #2 , Verse #164 )
(55) He it is Who enableth you to traverse through land and sea; so that ye even board Ships;- they sail with them with a favourable wind, and they rejoice thereat; then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they are being overwhelmed: they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him saying, "If thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!" (Chapter #10 , Verse #22 )
Your Lord is He That maketh the Ship go smoothly for you through the sea, in order that ye may seek of his Bounty. For he is unto you most Merciful. (Chapter #17 , Verse #66 )
Nor are the two bodies of flowing water alike,- the one palatable, sweet, and pleasant to drink, and the other, salt and bitter. Yet from each (kind of water) do ye eat flesh fresh and tender, and ye extract ornaments to wear; and thou seest the Ships therein that plough the waves, that ye may seek (thus) of the Bounty of Allah that ye may be grateful. (Chapter #35 , Verse #12 )(140) If ye invoke them, they will not listen to your call, and if they were to listen, they cannot answer your (prayer). On the Day of Judgment they will reject your "PartnerShip". and none, (O man!) can tell thee (the Truth) like the One Who is acquainted with all things. (Chapter #35 , Verse #14 )
And among His Signs are the Ships, smooth-running through the ocean, (tall) as mountains. (Chapter #42 , Verse #32 )
That has created pairs in all things, and has made for you Ships and cattle on which ye ride, (Chapter #43 , Verse #12
And His are the Ships sailing smoothly through the seas, lofty as mountains: (Chapter #55 , Verse #24
We never believed the tribe of Tony Blair who have stolen several Continents from rest of mankind since 1757 in Bengal, India or since 1916 in Arab World or in Iraq and that that
Tribe came to Iraq for democracy and election, as they did not establish it after 1916 when they first went there though they did it in India before 1947 when they left India permanently.
If that tribe wants election and democracy in Iraq, they must do it in whole Arab and Muslim World immediately (i.e. The Election of Caliph) withdrawing all rulers they crated there after destroying 1300 years Caliphate.
Arabs lost Caliphate/Khilafah in 1258 and Muslims lost Caliphate after 1916 as Muslims stopped the development of art of defense for the sucurity of it's land. And there is Chapter (Sura) from Holy Quran on AL-HADID (THE IRON)

Why the name Sultan and not caliph?
The Sultans could never take the name of Caliphate. Firstly they were recent converts and secondly they didn’t control one of the Islamic historic cities, like Baghdad, or Medina and thirdly the Sultans were somewhat secular and the Caliph must incorporate religion, as Islam is a polytheistic system.
So Allah/God can create another Osmani Muslims and establish Caliphate in whole World with interest free World and WMD free World.
Interest is also forbidden in both old and New Testament i.e. bible to protect billions poor from oppression.
And we, Muslims are not getting any help from Allah/Mowla/God like the ancients *peace be upon them and like the followings:
From:
http://www.islam.co.za/abdalqadirjilani/ghuya1.htm
I, Allah, am above My servants, and My Throne is above the whole of My creation, and I am upon My Thone, whereon I regulate [the affairs of] My servants, and nothing pertaining to My servants is ever hidden from Me."
Indeed, the fact that He (Almighty and Glorious is He) is upon the Throne is mentioned in every Scripture that has been revealed [fi kulli kitabin unzila] to every Prophet who has been sent forth to deliver His message ['ala kulli nabiyyin ursila], without further explanation [bi-la kaif].
In all the records that are still available to us, Allah (Exalted is He) is also characterized as possessing the attributes of Exaltedness ['uluww] and Omnipotence [qudra], as exercising control [istila'] and domination [ghalaba] over the whole of His creation from the Throne, and so on.
None of this, therefore, can be what is meant by His 'Self-establishment' [istiwa']. Self-establishment must be one of the attributes of the Divine Essence [sifat adh-Dhat], since He has informed us of it, mentioned it explicitly, and stated it emphatically in seven verses [ayat] of His Book, and since this view is confirmed by the Prophetic tradition [sunna ma'thura]. It must be an attribute [sifa] that is intrinsic to Him [lazima lahu] and properly befitting Him [la'iqa bihi], like the Hand [yad], the Face [wajh], the Eye ['ain], the Hearing [sam'], the Sight [basar], the Life [hayat] and the Power [qudra], all of which are properly attributed to Him, as well as His being Creator [Khaliq], Sustainer [Raziq], Giver of Life [Muhyin] and Causer of Death [Mumit].
We do not depart from the Book and the Sunna. We read the Qur'anic verse [aya] and the traditional report [khabar]. We believe what these two sources contain, and we entrust the detailed understanding [kaifiyya] of the [divine] attributes to the knowledge ['ilm] of Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He). As Sufyan ibn 'Uyaina (may Allah bestow His mercy upon him) once put it: "Just as Allah (Exalted is He) has described Himself in His Book." In other words, the reading of it is self-explanatory, and there is no need of further interpretative commentary [tafsir]. This is all that is required of us, because the rest is a mystery [ghaib], the comprehension of which is beyond the scope of the human mind ['aql].
We beg Allah (Exalted is He) to grant pardon ['afw] and well-being ['afiya], and we take refuge with Him in case we should say anything about Him or His attributes that we have not been taught by Him or by His Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace).
From:
"(know that in his stead) Allah will bring a people whom He loveth and who love Him,"Maida 54 , you know what happens if ALLAH Kareem start to love somebody? You know WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES OF THOSE PEOPLE WHOM ALLAH, THE CREATOR, LOVES? SEE THE HADITH QUDSI, IT WAS RELATED BY AL-BUKHARI. ON THE AUTHORITY OF ABU HURAYRAH (MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HIM), WHO SAID THAT THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH (PEACE BE UPON HIM) SAID: ALLAH (MIGHTY AND SUBLIME BE HE) SAID: “WHOSOEVER SHOWS ENMITY TO SOMEONE DEVOTED TO ME, I SHALL BE AT WAR WITH HIM. MY SERVANT DRAWS NOT NEAR TO ME WITH ANYTHING MORE LOVED BY ME THAN THE RELIGIOUS DUTIES I HAVE ENJOINED UPON HIM, AND MY SERVANT CONTINUES TO DRAW NEAR TO ME WITH SUPEREROGATORY WORKS SO THAT I SHALL LOVE HIM. WHEN I LOVE HIM I AM HIS HEARING WITH WHICH HE HEARS, HIS SEEING WITH WHICH HE SEES, HIS HAND WITH WHICH HE STRIKES AND HIS FOOT WITH WHICH HE WALKS. WERE HE TO ASK [SOMETHING] OF ME, I WOULD SURELY GIVE IT TO HIM, AND WERE HE TO ASK ME FOR REFUGE, I WOULD SURELY GRANT HIM IT. I DO NOT HESITATE ABOUT ANYTHING AS MUCH AS I HESITATE ABOUT [SEIZING] THE SOUL OF MY FAITHFUL SERVANT: HE HATES DEATH AND I HATE HURTING HIM” AND OUR MASTER SEYYIDEE WAMOULAYA ABDUL CADER JILANI IS UNDISPUTEDLY THE ARCH INTERCESSOR AND LEADER AMONG THOSE PEOPLE. I HAVE NO WAY EXCEPT HANGING TO THE FOOT OF MY MASTER SEYYIDEE WA MOULAYA MUHYIDDEN ABDUL CADER JILANI Raliyallahu anhu.
And that hands which Allah/God can create as his own can take out those few brief cases from Moscow, London, Paris, Tel Aviv and else where
in any moment and can destroy/disable all WMD through those brief cases to save this earth and mankind. And it is not a story and it is historical fact. Any one can visit Chittagong, Bangladesh and know the history
of Shah Amanatat Shah (ALLah's/God's mercy on him). One Judge told a defender in Chittagong, Bangladesh during British rule that he must produce all paper at that moment if he wants to win his case.
But papers were msny miles away from the Court. Seeing this, that Judge's orderly/Peon Amanat Shah (RA) asked the defender of that case to close his eyes and took his hand to pick up those papers from his home many miles away and he won the case. When Judge asked how he got those paper as those were in his village home, the defender pointed to the peon of Judge and told the fact how he got his papers after which Amanat Shah (RA, Allah's/God's mercy on him) vanished as he did not like to disclose his status with Allah/God. Hadrat Amanat Shah's majar (Holy tomb) is in Chittagong and any one can verify this fact. This kind of miracle happened in around this world by Muslims Saints in recent past.
At least it may happen by the holy hands of Prophet Jesus and Imam Mehdi
(Peace be upon them) very soon.
The above is the only way through which I can gather power, power from Allah/Mowla (Lord of all worlds) (SWT) and not killing/beheading innocent people both civilians and military here and there.
