Taji Mustafa argues that instead of just blaming those Muslims supporting President Morsi's removal, Islamic activists have to convince them of the case for implementing the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" ruling system.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmat Allahu wa Barakatu....

The Almighty says:

((يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ))

"O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous."And the Glorified and Exalted says:

((فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْه))

"So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it."

And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, says in what was reported by al-Bukhari narrated from Abu Huraira (ra):

«صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ غُبِّيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا عِدَّةَ شَعْبَانَ ثَلاَثِينَ»

"Fast when you see it, and break your fast when you see it, and if the weather is cloudy do calculate it (the months of Shaban and Shawwal) as thirty days."

And Muslim reported that Abu Huraira related, in another narration, that the Prophet (saw) said:

«صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ غُمِّيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا الْعَدَدَ»

"Observe fast on sighting it (the new moon) and break (fast) on sighting it (the new moon), but if the sky is cloudy for you, then complete the number (of thirty)."

After investigation and checking the moon of the Blessed month of Ramadan on this night, the night of Tuesday, no valid sighting of the New Moon of Ramadan has taken place according to the Shari'ah requirements, therefore, tomorrow Tuesday is the continuation for the month of Sha'ban InshaAllah, making the day after tomorrow, Wednesday, the first day of the blessed month of Ramadan in the year of 1434 AH corresponding 10/07/2013.

We ask the Almighty that he accepts the fasting and qiyyam of the Muslims and that Allah forgives us for what we have committed of sin, as the Prophet (saw) said in what al-Bukhari and Muslim reported that Abu Huraira narrated:

«مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ، إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ»

Allah's Prophet (saw) said: "Whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven."

And in a different narration that Abu Hurayra (ra) related that the Prophet (saw):

«مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ»

"Whoever stands (in the voluntary night prayer of) Ramadan out of faith and in hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven."

Dear brothers, in the month of Sha'ban in the second hijri year, Allah Almighty made fasting the month of Ramadan obligatory. It is the month that the Quran was sent down

((شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ ))

"The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion."

It is the month that Allah honored the Ummah with distinct conquests and victories. The great Battle of Badr on the 17^th of Ramadan was when the polytheists of Mecca were wholly defeated.... and other critical battles were in this blessed month, starting with the conquest of Mecca that was on 20 Ramadan al-Mubarak in the eighth Hijri year, to the Battle of al-Buwayb, (near modern day Kufa) that was Persian Yarmook, when the Muslims were victorious under the leadership of al-Muthanna on 14 Ramadan of the year 31 AH, then to the conquest of ‘Amooriyah under the leadership of al-Mu'tasem on 17 Ramadan year 213 AH, and to the Battle of Ayn Jaloot when the Muslims defeated the Tatars on 25 Ramadan year 658 AH to other victories in this blessed month....

And so fasting was indicated with the Holy Quran which shall not be affected by any falsehood ...And fasting was indicated with distinct conquest and victory.... And fasting was indicated with Jihad.... Fasting was indicated with the implementation of Allah's Laws.... And everyone with clear vision and insight realizes that Allah Almighty's Laws cannot be separated from one another, whether they are acts of worship or Jihad or transactions or morals or conduct, or crimes and punishments.... For all of these are the same problems and whoever ponders the verses of the Holy Quran finds that this is explicitly clarified. Likewise it is clear in these verses of fasting and what comes before and afterwards, in the following:

Allah the Almighty revealed the verses of fasting in Surat al-Baqara, in the second part in the second quarter of it, which begins with His (swt) saying:

((لَيْسَ الْبِرَّ أَنْ تُوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلَكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالْكِتَابِ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ...))

"Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets..." up until His (swt) saying:

((أُولَئِكَ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ))

"Those will have a share of what they have earned, and Allah is swift in account."

And by pondering these verses it becomes clear that they include laws of righteousness and faith, and of retribution, and commandment, and the verses of fasting, and of supplication... and the rulers and the consumption of unlawful wealth, and fighting in the name of Allah, and Hajj. For Allah's laws are all taken together, and there is no difference between one law and another or between one obligation and another, for the One who    revealed the acts of worship is Him (swt) is the One who revealed the laws of transactions, punishments, politics and Jihad, and revealed the morals, provisions, clothing and others. And they are all equal in strength of how they should be implemented and observed, for the obligation in acts of worship is exactly like that of obligation in transactions, like that of obligation in punishments and obligation in the Bayah of the Khaleefah, Jihad and other Ahkam (laws), it is not permissible to separate them in any case, for Islam is one whole, that cannot be separated, and the call to Islam is one call to be implemented in the State, life and society. Therefore whoever separates the verses of Allah and calls for the separation between religion and life, or the separation between religion and politics; thereby has committed a great sin and heavy crime that will lead that person to humiliation in this life and to a painful torment in the Hereafter.

And in conclusion, Allah Almighty mentioned the act of supplication in between the verses of fasting in Surat al-Baqara, and the Almighty said:

((وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ))

"And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided."

And the partition of the inseparable is proof of the magnificence of the Revealer, for Allah Almighty commanded the fast, then commanded the act of supplication, and then followed with verses of fasting to show to greatness of the act of supplication, so increase supplication in Ramadan, for the Prophet (saw) said in the Hadith that was related by Ahmed narrated by Abu Hurayra:

ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا تُرَدُّ دَعْوَتُهُمْ: الْإِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ، وَالصَّائِمُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ، وَدَعْوَةُ الْمَظْلُومِ تُحْمَلُ عَلَى الْغَمَامِ، وَتُفْتَحُ لَهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَعِزَّتِي لَأَنْصُرَنَّكَ وَلَوْ بَعْدَ حِينٍ

"The supplications of three people are not rejected: the supplication of a fasting person at the time of breaking fast, of a just ruler, and of a person who is wronged. Allah causes their supplications to rise above the clouds, and gates of heaven are opened for them, and Allah says, ‘By My Majesty, I will help you, even if it is after a while."

And supplication was mentioned between the verses of fasting as proof for the insistence of supplication in the month of fasting and a statement of its merit and glad tiding of it being answered, for Allah is close and respondent.

And the final conclusion, as we must be protective of our fast so Allah may be pleased with us and forgive our sins, thus we should also be keen to work to resume the Islamic way of life with the establishment of the Righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" so that we will be from the victors in this life with the implementation of Allah's Laws, under the banner of Allah's Messenger (saw), Rayat al Uqab, the banner of لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله , and likewise be the victors in the Hereafter, Allah willing, under Allah's shade on the Day of no shade except His Shade, and we ask Him that he accept our fasting in this blessed month, whose beginning is mercy, middle is forgiveness, and end is a shield from the Fire. And when next Ramadan arrives, there will be a Righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" on the way of the Prophethood that has honored us and returned the Ummah as the best Ummah.

((كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ))

"You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah."

And the Khaleefah will be as the Prophet (saw) said,

«إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ، يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ...»

"Behold, the Imam is but a shield from behind whom the people fight and by whom they protect themselves." Extracted by Muslim on the authority of Abu Huraira (ra).

That the Khaleefah will have eradicated the tyrants in the land of al-Sham, and rescued its Muslims, the elderly, women and children, from the filth of the tyrants and oppressors... and that we be behind him to eliminate the tyrants from the land of Islam, and implement the laws of Islam, so that the strife in Egypt and besides Egypt that is a result from the absence of the implementation of Allah Almighty's Law... and then he will lead us to liberate Palestine, all of Palestine, from the filth of Jewish state to restore al-Quds, the land of Isra' and Mi'raj of the Messenger of Allah (saw), will return honored and dignified by Islam, and by the army of Islam.... And we will fight behind him to liberate Kashmir as well, and the rest of the occupied Islamic land, from the Kaffir Imperialists, so that there will not remain an inch of Islamic land that is not shaded by the banner of Islam,

((وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ * بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ))

"And that day the believers will rejoice * In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful."

Question:

Baraakallahu Bika our Sheikh and may Allah hasten the victory at your hands and may Allah benefit us with your knowledge.

From amongst the well-known Saheeh Ahaadeeth that was related by the noble Sahaabah Abu Hurairah (ra) from the Messenger of Allah (saw) that he said:

{ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ عَلَى رَأْسِ كُلِّ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ مَنْ يُجَدِّدُ لَهَا دِينَهَا}

"Verily Allah sends to this Ummah at the head of every one hundred years someone who will renew the Deen for her". Related by Abu Daawood (4291) and was verified as Saheeh by As-Sakhaawiy in ‘Al-Maqqsid Al-Hasanah' (149) and Al-Albaaniy in ‘As-Silsilah As-Saheehah' (599).

And the question is: Does the word ‘Man' (who) mentioned in the Hadeeth establish that the Mujaddid is an individual or a group? And is it possible to list them from the previous passed centuries?

Answer:

Wa Alaikumus Salaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuhu,

Yes, the Hadeeth is Saheeh and there are five issues that relate to it:

1) At which date does the hundred (years) begin? Is it from the birth of the Messenger of Allah (saw) or from the time of the Ba'thah (the mission) or from the time of the Hijrah or from the time of his death (saw)?

2) Is the start of every year mean at the beginning of every hundred, or during each hundred or at the end of every hundred?

3) Does the word ‘man' (who) mean one of the people or does it mean a group that renews the Deen for Deen for the people?

4) Are there any reports containing a correct reference in regards to the number of Mujaddids in the past hundreds of years?

5) Is it possible to know in the fourteenth century that ended on the 30th of Dhul Hijjah 1399 AH who the one renewing the Deen of the people was?

I will attempt to the best of my ability to mention what I believe to be the strongest view (Raajih) in regards to these issues without delving and plunging into the points of Ikhtilaaf (difference).

So I say and with Allah is the Tawfeeq and He is Al-Haadi (who guides) Subhaanahu to the straight path:

1) On which date does the hundred years start?

Al-Munaawiy said in the introduction of ‘Fath ul-Qadeer': [And they have differed in regards to the start of the year, is it considered to be from the Prophetic birth, the Ba'thah (start of the mission), the Hijrah or his death (saw)...? And the Raajih (strongest view) in my opinion is that it is to be considered from the time of the Hijrah. This is because it is the date in which the Muslims and Islam was given honour and might (‘Izzah) with the establishment of its state. And it is for this reason that when ‘Umar (ra) gathered the Sahaabah to agree upon the beginning of the date they depended upon the Hijrah. At-Tabari in his ‘Taareekh' said: "Abdur Rahman Ibn Abdullah Bin Abdul Hakam told me: He said: Nu'aim Bin Hammaad told us: He said: Ad-Daraawardiy told us from Uthmaan Bin Ubaidullah Bin Abi Raafi' who said: I heard Sa'eed Bin Al-Musayyib say: Umar Bin Al-Khattaab gathered the people and asked them. He said: From what day should we record? So Ali said: From the day that the Messenger of Allah sallalahu alaihi wassallam made Hijrah and left the land of shirk. So this is what Umar (ra) did." And Abu Ja'far said: "The first year of Hijrah is considered from Muharram of that month i.e. before the arrival of the Messenger of Allah sallalahu alaihi wassallam to Al-Madeenah by two months and some days as the arrival of the Messenger of Allah (saw) was on the 12th of Rabee' ul-Awwal."

Based upon this that it is most probable to start the count of the hundred year mark from the date of the Hijrah (migration) in which the Sahabah (radhallahu alaihum) had adopted.

2) As for the start of the century then the probable (Raajih) view is towards the end; i.e. the Renewed (Mujaddid) would be at the end of the hundred years a pious unblemished famous Aalim (Scholar) and his death would be at the end of it and not half way or throughout its period. As for why I have took this view to be the most probable for the following reasons:

a) It has been confirmed by Saheeh narrations that ‘Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz came at the start (Ra's) of the first hundred years and he died (rh) in the year 101 Hijri when he was forty years old whilst Ash-Shaafi'i was at the start (Ra's) of the second century and he died the year 204 Hijri at the age of fifty-four.

So if we take another interpretation for the start (Ra's) of every hundred years by explaining it as the beginning of the first 100 hundred years then Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez would not be the Renewed (Mujaddid) of the first century because he was born in the year 61 Hijri. And Ash-Shaafi'iy would not have been the Mujaddid of the second century because he was born the year 150 Hijri. This means that the start (Ra's) of the year that is quoted within the Hadeeth refers to the last part of the century and not its beginning. So he (the Mujaddid) could be born within it (i.e. middle years) and then became a well-known Mujaddid Scholar in its latter part and died at its end.

b) As for the evidence indicating that Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez was the Mujaddid of the first century and Ash-Shaafi'i was the Mujaddid of the second century, who became famous amongst the Ulemaa of this Ummah and its Imaams. Az-Zuhriy and Ahmad Bin Hanbal amongst others from the early and later Imaams agreed that from the Mujaddideen at the  start (Ra's)  of the first century was Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez (rh) and at the Ra's of the second century was Imam Ash-Shaafi'iy (rh). ‘Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez passed away in the year 101 Hijri at the age of forty years and the duration of his Khilafah "Caliphate" was two and a half years whilst Ash-Shaafi'i died in the year 204 Hijri at the age 54. And Al-Haafizh Ibn Hajar said in ‘Tawaaliy At-Ta'sees': [Abu Bakr Al-Bazzaar said: I heard Abdul Maalik Bin Abdul Hameed Al-Maymooniy saying: I was with Ahmad Bin Hanbal whilst Ash-Shaafi'i was mentioned so I saw Ahmad raise his head and he related from the Prophet (saw) that Allah Ta'Aalaa selects someone at the start (Ra's) of each century somebody that would teach them their Deen. He said: And Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez was at the end of the first century and I hope that it was Ash-Shaafi'i who was at the end of the second].

And by way of Abu Sa'eed Al-Firbaabiy he said: Ahmad Bin Hanbal said: Verily Allah selects for the people at the Ra's of every century someone who will teach the people the Sunan and will negate the lies attributed to the Prophet so we examined it and found that Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez was at the Ra's of the first century whilst Ash-Shaafi'i was at the end (Ra's) of the second century.

Ibn ‘Addiy said: I heard Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Al-Husein saying: I heard our companions saying: In the first century it was Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz and in the second it was Muhammad Bin Idrees Ash-Shaafi'i.

And Al-Haakim recorded in his ‘Mustadrak' from Abu ul-Waleed who said: [I was in assembly with Abu-l-Abbaas Bin Shuraih when a Sheikh came to him and praised him. Then I heard him say: Abu At-Tahir Al-Khawlaani told us and secondly Abdullah Bin Wahb: Sa'eed Ibn Abi Ayyoob informed me from Shuraaheel Bin Yazeed from Abu ‘Alqamah from Abu Hurairah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

«إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ عَلَى رَأْسِ كُلِّ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ مَنْ يُجَدِّدُ لَهَا دِينَهَا»

"Verily Allah sends to this Ummah at the head of every one hundred years someone who will renew the Deen for it." So have glad tidings O Judge verily Allah sent at the end of the first century Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez and at the end of the second century he sent Muhammad Ibn Idrees Ash-Shaafi'i...].

Al-Haafizh Ibn Hajar said this indicates that the Hadeeth was well-known (Mash'hoor) in that time period.

c) It could be said that the start (Ra's) of something linguistically means the first or beginning part so how then can we view as strongest that the start (Ra's)  of every year means its end and not its beginning? The answer to this is that just as the Ra's means the start of something linguistically (in the Arabic language) it likewise means its end part. It was said in ‘Taaj Al-Aroos' (Dictionary): The Ra's of the thing is its edge and it is said its end part. And it is said in ‘Lisaan Al-Arab (Dictionary): The lizard came out of the hole with its Ra's (Muraa'san) which means that the head came out first or that perhaps tail first i.e. the first part of the end part. Therefore the Ra's of a matter or thing can according to the language mean the beginning just as it can mean the edge of it whether this means the beginning or the end. As such we need a Qareenah (clue/indication) that will outweigh the meaning that is intended in the Hadeeth ‘Ra's of a hundred years'. Is it its beginning or its end? And this Qareenah is present in the previous narrations which considered Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez the Mujaddid of the first century and he died in the year 101 Hijri and considered Ash-Shaafi'i the Mujaddid of the second and he died in the year 204 Hijri. All of this outweighs the meaning in the Hadeeth to mean the last part of the century and not its beginning part.

So based upon the aforementioned, I outweigh to be most probable that the meaning of: ‘The Ra's of one hundred years' as found in the Hadeeth, is the last part of each century.

3) As for the word ‘Man' (who) meaning the individual or a group: Then the Hadeeth states: «يبعث لهذه الأمة... من يجدد لها دينها»

"Allah sends to this Ummah.... someone who will renew (Man Yujaddidu) its Deen for it" and if the ‘Man' (who) indicated the group then the verb would have been in the plural form (yujaddidoona). However the verb was mentioned in the singular form and this is despite the expression ‘Man' (who) also carrying the meaning of the plural and even if the verb after it is in the single form. However I view as strongest that here it is indicating the individual because of the Qareenah ‘yujaddidu' (i.e. singular form of verb). And I say stronger view because the expression used here is not definitely individual here and even when the verb after it is in the singular form. Due to this there have been some who have interpreted the expression ‘Man' as indicating the group and they listed in narrations groups from the Ulamaa who came in every century. However this opinion is outweighed by the other one as has been mentioned earlier.

In conclusion the stronger view is that ‘Man' (who) indicates and individual meaning that the Mujaddid mentioned in the Hadeeth is a man who is an individual pious and untarnished scholar.

4) As for listing the names of the Renewed (Mujaddideen) throughout the past centuries; reports have shown, the most well-known list is in the form of rhyming prose of As-Suyooti up until the ninth century and he asked Allah (swt) for himself to be the Mujaddid of the ninth century. I will now relay a section from his prose:

Thus at the first century was ‘Umar the just Khaleefah as agreed upon and settled.

And Ash-Shaafi'i was at the second due to his high knowledge.

And the fifth was Al-Ghazaali for what he possessed of argument.

And the seventh who elevated to elevation was Ibn Daqeeq Al-Eid as agreed upon.

And this is the ninth that has come and the one who guides does not break a promise and I have hoped that I am its Mujaddid because the favour of Allah does not exhaust.

And there are some other statements that continue on from.

5) And is it possible for us to know who the Renewed (Mujaddid) of the Deen of the people was for the 14th century ending on the 30th of Dhul Hijjah 1399?

It was brought to my attention what was famous or well-known from amongst the well-respected Ulemah when they indicated that the ‘Ra's' (head) of the year was its latter part. Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez was born in 61 Hijri and died at the Ra's of the first century in the year 101 Hijri and Ash-Shaafi'iy was born in the year 150 Hijri and died at the Ra's of the century in the year 204 Hijri.

This means that each one of them was born around the middle of the century and became well-known in its latter part. And as I have said I view as the strongest interpretation that has become well-known amongst the respected Ulemah in regards to Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez being the Mujaddid of the first century and Ash-Shaafi'i being the Mujaddid of the second century. So based upon this, I view as strongest that the great scholar Taqiudeen An-Nabahani (rh) was the Mujaddid of the fourteenth century. He was born in the year 1332 Hijri and he became well-known in the latter part of the fourteenth century and specifically when he founded Hizb ut Tahrir in Jumada al-Thani in the year of 1372 Hijri and he passed away in the year 1398 Hijri. His Dawah to the Muslims was related to the vital issue, the resumption of the Islamic way of life through the establishment of the rightly guided Khilafah "Caliphate" State and it had a major effect upon their lives and endeavours and Ijtihad until the Khilafah "Caliphate" has become a general demand of the Muslims today. So Allah's mercy be upon Abu Ibrahim and Allah's mercy be upon his brother Abu Yousuf who came after him and May Allah gather them with the Prophets, truthful, Shuhadaa and Saaliheen (righteous) and what great company they are.

This is what I view as the most probable my brother Abu Mu'min and Allah is more aware of what is correct and to Him belongs the best of destinations.

Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah of Pakistan condemns in the severest terms the arrest of the respected Aalim Sarwar ud-Din, member of Hizb ut Tahrir, widely respected by the Ulemah, politicians and Muslims of the tribes. Hizb ut Tahrir asks the touts of America what possessed to you to arrest such an honoured and knowledgeable man
