* The crusader hatred and battle for Jerusalem.
* The decline of the Muslims.
* The cultural invasion.
* The Physical occupation; all culminating in:
* The destruction of the Khilafah.

Why did Allah, Most Wise, choose to send one more revelation about the prohibition of Riba (Usury) shortly before the death of Prophet Muhammad (‘alaihi al-Salam)? Why did He choose a time that appears to have been the last possible time to send that revelation? Why did He send such an obvious reminder even AFTER sending the revelation in which He announced the perfection of the Religion of Islam (Din) and the completion of His favor to the believers ?

Islamic economic wisdom challenges the oppressive New World Order

Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) gave to the world an economic order that was free from economic injustice and oppression. No one worked for slave wages. Wealth did not circulate only amongst the wealthy but, rather, throughout the economy. The rich were not permanently rich and the poor were not permanently poor. The market was a free and a fair market. No one could ‘reap’ without ‘planting’. Money had intrinsic value and so it could not be manipulated by banks and by a predatory elite to reduce its value. In consequence, such a market and economy never experienced ‘inflation’. No prices were fixed, including the price of labor. Social welfare was achieved in the form of a compulsory tax on wealth that was used to provide for those who did not possess the basic necessities of life. But the value system of the society ensured that the effort would be made, by those who were capable of such effort, to extricate themselves from having to live off that charity.

The Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) succeeded where every government in the world today has failed. He succeeded because he enforced the divine prohibition of Riba (usury or lending and borrowing money on interest) and he maintained the integrity of money by using real money (rather than artificial money i.e., paper and plastic money). In addition he enforced a penal code that gave deterrent punishment to those found guilty of theft. But the world rejected him, and Muslims abandoned his economic Sunnah. And so the world is condemned to live with today’s Dhulm (oppression) and Fasad, i.e., the corruption and destruction of the free and fair market.

White western civilization wants us to believe that theirs is the most advanced and progressive model of an economy it has ever been the good fortune of mankind to experience! And one-eyed brainwashed Muslim ‘mimic-men’ are busy trying to ensure that the world of Islam emulates the West. In fact, that predatory American and white western dream is fertilized with the blood of the masses around the world, and with the wealth that is constantly being skimmed off an unsuspecting ignorant mankind.

The Noble Qur’an not only explains the world today, but also explains its economic oppression. The Qur’an, which is a book of ‘wisdom’ (and this includes economic wisdom), has established rules ensuring that wealth does not circulate only amongst the wealthy:

“What Allah has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from the people of the townships, belongs to Allah, to His Messenger and to kindred and orphans, the needy and the wayfarer; in order that it (i.e., wealth) may not (only) circulate amongst the wealthy among you. So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah; for Allah is strict in punishment.” (Qur’an, al-Hashr, 59:7)

Muslims have abandoned the rules of the Qur’an and, as a consequence, they now pay a terrible price for their folly! A new sophisticated and deceptive economic slavery is descending upon them, as well as upon the rest of humanity. The shameful irony in this is clear when we remember that one of the basic functions of Islam in the world is to liberate the oppressed.

What is the cause of this global economic oppression? It is Riba! A predatory global elite centered in the banking centers in the West, but also present around the world, is constantly sucking the wealth and the blood of mankind and impoverishing the laboring masses through Riba. The oppressor creates political, legislative, judicial and legal systems, the media etc., with consummate deception, and he ensures that they all fulfill the basic function of preserving the system of economic oppression. The film industry, television, the internet, modern music, designer clothing, etc., are used to transport the masses to fantasy-land so that they remain in a state of blissful ignorance while Riba is used to control and enslave them. The ultimate objective is to enslave all of mankind and, through poverty and destitution, and through wealth which has been obtained corruptly, to subject faith in Allah Most High and the religious way of life to the ultimate test and trial. The evidence to date already confirms that most Muslims, the predatory rich as well as the miserable poor, are failing that test of faith.

It should be a cause for serious concern, if not alarm, that a world which still comprises many civilizations, some of which are thousands of years old, should be embraced not only by the same secular political system based on Shirk, but also by the same secular economy based on Riba. The economic weapon of Riba complements the political weapon of the modern secular State and the United Nations Organization [The New Worl Order] successfully pursuing his mission of achieving political and economic control over the entire world.

Our method is to first explain the importance of the subject and then, subsequently, to explain the verses of the Qur’an which deal with the subject of Riba, and the Ahadith of Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam). Finally, we will attempt to explain Riba at work in the modern economy

From the most virtuous of days are the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah (the 12th month in the lunar calendar, one of the sacred months and the month of Hajj). A group of those from the People of Knowledge say: “Verily they are the best days of the year just as the last ten nights of Ramadaan are the best nights of the year.” Some of the various types of righteous actions which are done in these first ten days are mentioned below:

REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAAH

The first of the righteous actions is the remembrance of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى. Allaah سبحانه وتعالى said: {…and the men and the women who remember Allaah much with their hearts and tongues - Allaah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise).} [al-Ahzaab 33:35]

It is affirmed in a number of texts the encouragement of mentioning the takbeer. Allaah سبحانه وتعالى said: {…and mention the Name of Allaah on appointed days (i.e. 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th day of Dhul-Hijjah) } [al-Hajj 22:28]

It has been affirmed from the Sahaabah (Companions) of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and from him صلى الله عليه وسلم , that they increased in the takbeer (saying “Allaahu Akbar—Allaah is the Greatest) in the first ten days of the month of Dhul Hijjah and they raised their voice with it, each one of them saying the takbeer on his own. They raised their voices until the mountains shook from their takbeer but they did not say the takbeer in unison (in Jamaa’ah). Each of them said the takbeer on his own.

VOLUNTARY ACTS OF WORSHIP

One should implement the voluntary acts of worship - whether prayer, fasting or charity. It is reported in hadeeth that the Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم encouraged fasting the ten days and it is reported that he صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Whoever fasts the Day of Arafah will have his sins expiated for two years (the past year and the coming year).” [Ibn Maajah]

DO NOT CUT HAIR OR NAILS FOR THE ONE DOING THE SACRIFICE

From what is considered as righteous actions on these ten days is that the one who wants to do the Udhiyyah (sacrificial slaughter) should not cut his hair or nails during these ten days. As such it is desired that he commits himself before these ten days by cutting his hair and nails. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “When any one of you intending to sacrifice the animal enters in the month (of Dhul-Hijjah) he should not get his hair or nails touched (cut)”. [Muslim]

SUPPLICATE FOR THE HUJJAAJ

One should make du`aa (supplication) for the hujjaaj (pilgrims who have embarked upon the Hajj) that Allaah سبحانه وتعالى keeps them safe from all evil and that He returns them to their countries. This is because the hujjaaj are the guests of Ar-Rahmaan so they have a right upon us that we supplicate for them for ease in their affairs and their safe return.

UDHIYYAH - SACRIFICIAL SLAUGHTER

One should prepare to do the Udhiyyah (sacrificial slaughtering of an animal) and arranging distribution of the meat amongst family, friends, the needy etc. This is from the pious and righteous deeds. Abu Haneefah رحمه الله was of the opinion that it was from the obligatory acts but most of others say that it is desirable. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said “Who does not slaughter should not come to the salaah”. [Ibn Maajah]

ATTEND THE `EED SALAAH

From amongst the righteous actions is attending the salaatul `Eed, greeting one another, and leaving off fasting on the day of `Eed and on the days of Tashreeq (i.e. the 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul Hijjah).

Based on a lectured by Shaykh Sa`d ash-Shitree (may Allaah preserve him).

We all should ask guidance and forgiveness from Allah (swt).

"But as for him who repented, believed and did righteous deeds, then he will be among those who are successful." (Al-Qasas chapter 28, verse 67)

Takbeer e Tashreeq is an WAJIB act for both male and female, that starts on 9th Dhul-Hijjah after Fajr Salaah, and finishes at the 'Asr Salaah of 13th Dhul-Hijjah (( Takbeer e Tashreeq: Allaahu Akbar Allaahu Akbar, laa ilaaaha il lal laahu wallaahu Akbar WalAllaahu Akbar walil laahil Hamd.))

What You Can Do in these Blessed Days of Dhul-Hijjah?

The days of Dhul-Hijjah are the most blessed ones; therefore every Muslim should make much from this opportunity. Among the blessings of Allah is that He has given us many ways to perform good deeds and to worship Him, so that the Muslim may be constantly active and consistent in his worship of his Lord. Here are some out of many good deed, which you can perform in these days.

Remember, deeds, which are less preferred are made superior and more beloved to Allah in these days, than the superior deeds performed at other times!! This is indicated in the Hadeeth where the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said regarding Jihad which is the most superior of all deeds to be less superior than the voluntary fast in these days, except that the Mujahid, goes out risking himself and his wealth for the sake of Allah, and does not come back with anything. [Saheeh al-Bukharee]
Hajj and Umrah are the best deeds performed in Dhul-Hijjah.

Fasting as many days as possible, especially the day of Arafat, which is a Sunnah. Fasting is one of the best of deeds. Allah chose fasting for Himself from all the good deeds, as is stated in the Hadeeth Qudsee: All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him, except for fasting, which is for Me and I am the One Who will reward him for it. [Saheeh al-Bukharee (1085)]

Takbeer al-Muqayyid: The Takbeer, which is restricted to the time after the five obligatory Salaat. This begins from after Fajr prayer of the day of Arafat (for the non-pilgrims) until the Asr prayer of the last day of Tashreeq.

Takbeer al-Mutlaq: The unrestricted Takbeer; Allahu Akbar, at all times of night and day until Eid al-Ahda.

Perform plenty of Nafl (voluntary) prayers.

Recite and Memorize the Qur'aan.

Abstain from disobedience and sins, because disobedience is the cause of Allah's Anger. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: Verily Allah has a sense of Ghayrah (honor, prestige and anger over it's violation), and Allah's sense of Ghayrah is provoked when a person does that which Allah has made prohibited. [Saheeh Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim] Whereas, obedience and abstaining from all those things, which Allah has prohibited, is a form of worship and a means to achieve Allah's Love.

Hasten to make Sincere Tawbah (Repentance) to Allah because repentance means coming back to Allah. It is forgoing all those deed, which Allah dislikes in open and in secret, out of regret for what has passed, abandoning them immediately and being determined not to return to it again. When a Muslim combines repentance with good deeds during the most virtuous days, this is a sign of his success. Allah says: But as for him who repented, believed and did righteous deeds, then he will be among those who are successful. [Soorah al-Qasas (28): 67]

Give Charity

Attend Salaat al-Eid and the Khutbah.

Slaughter Udhiyah (Sacrifice) on the day of Eid al-Adha is another good deed which brings the slave closer to his Lord.

There is much to be gained, so make the most of this these invaluable and irreplaceable days.
