Fortress of the Muslim (Pocket Size)

Product Information

Pointing to the idea of a garrison state, Singapore still has a “fortress-like” mentality that persists today, especially as a Chinese-majority nation surrounded by larger mostly-Muslim countries, which might “create a certain degree of tension”. Singapore’s approach is “premised on the faithful observance of international law, especially the independence and sovereignty of nation-states,” said political analyst and Singapore Management University (SMU) associate law professor Eugene Tan.

At Nimrah Cafe, famous for its Irani chai, Mohammad Farooquddin Siddiqui, 28, is all praise for the educational institutions, run by the party’s Dar-us-Salam Educational Trust (DET), basti dawakhanas and the Owaisi Hospital. AIMIM’s trajectory In contrast, SMU’s Tan argues that the authorities’ move was prudent because of the potential for such actions to “detrimentally affect our hard-earned social cohesion and harmony”.Its next-door neighbours Malaysia and Indonesia have “Malay-Muslim majorities that frequently experience more politically charged atmospherics from the antagonism between the Israelis and Palestinians”, said Rajanthran. Both countries have seen large demonstrations in support of Gaza. The AIMIM started off as a cultural organisation in 1929 to unite various Muslim sects under the Nizam. Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung ran it between 1938 and 1944, when it is said to have assumed a dominant role in the erstwhile Hyderabad state. Subsequently, it was under Qazim Razvi, who led the Razakars, a Muslim-led militia that clamped down heavily on Hindus, Communists and others who were fighting against the feudal Nizam rule.

Whoever fulfills Tawheed will be admitted to the Garden (Al-Jannah) in the Hereafter. The Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) has stated: Verily Allah has promised that whosoever does not commit shirk shall enter Al-Jannah (the Garden in the Heaven). [Al-Bukhari)] In Yakutpura, 20-year-old Rufsana, who will be voting for the first time, points out another sentiment that is integral to the AIMIM’s winning streak. “Woh Muslimo ke liye teharte… Idhar koi dange fasaad nahi hote. Kisi to alag nahi dekhte (They stand up for Muslims. We do not have any riots. Nobody is discriminated against).” It is because we have come to prefer sitting and neglect and lightening burdens and responsibilities! It has become easier for us to not do something out of precaution of harming our deen but not easy to act as a means of al-war’a or precaution. Protests make for good social media posts and rabble-rousing but will not move the needle on the conflict,” he said. Singapore received help from Israel post-independence and buys some weapons from the country [File: Joseph Nair/AP Photo] Humanitarian assistance The Majority of the Scholars accept weak narrations that contain du’as in them. (refer: beginning of Kitabud du’a in Mustadrak Hakim)The masjid is the fortress of faith; the guardian of virtues; the home of the pious; the meeting place of Muslims; the centre of consultation and mutual advice, and the first school from which the Muslim graduates. The masjid provides relief and respite to the needy and the distressed. Muslim armies sprang from the masjid and spread the message of Islam to all parts of the world within a short time. Tawheed is the essence of Islam and the mainspring of its strength. All other laws, beliefs and commands of Islam stand firm on this foundation. Take it away, and there is nothing left of Islam. The government has committed substantial technical assistance and support to the Palestinian Authority, which controls the occupied West Bank, over the years, and will continue to do so, Deputy Prime Minister Wong said in parliament.

Singaporean community organiser Zaris Azira was feeling helpless watching the news about Gaza on her phone, when she came across a video of thousands of Malaysians chanting for Palestine in their football stadium. Protests were allowed in 2014 but this time, the government has talked of ‘heightened sensitivities’ [File: Wallace Woon/EPA]When reading books like the one you question, one should bear in mind that there could be several different du’as reported for one particular occasion. As we find new du’as we could add them to the old one’s which we were already practicing upon, or at least alternate between them. One should not abandon a du’a that was already in practice (as long as its in the hadith too)
