“Does Islam apply today?” “Is it not backward?” “How can it solve the problems today when we have so much technology and have advanced so much, whereas Islam was revealed at the time where the camel was the mode of transport and people would not have even dreamt about the internet?”

These are some of the questions posed to Muslims in their day to day living in Europe and in fact other parts of the world.

This week we tackle this subject and counter these arguments. Are they really valid and are they really strong arguments.. Or does Islam have something to say for today. Can it cope with technology? What does it have to say about Genetics and going to the moon?

Then there is also the other side of the argument, does just having technology mean that we can solve the human problems faced by millions, be it their personal lives or social/societal problems?
Have a listen and find out.

Every generation of the Muslim Ummah throughout history has faced trials and tribulations.
Today is no different, with the demise of the Khilafah, the assaults placed on Islam come thick and fast and the tests places on the Muslim Ummah are all to clear.

Here in the UK the attack is on the Quran and the Aqueeda of Islam, from the rules and guidelines of Allah (SWT) to the personality of our Noble prophet(SAW).

So in times like this, where so many are scared to speak out, who will defend Islam?
This week we have had two talks, the first one addressing who should be the ones who should carry and defend Islam, our creator, and the Rasool(saw).

But we have also addressed how this should be done. As with anything in Islam, Allah (swt), our Rasool (saw) and the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them) have shown us how this should be done and this is the second of our talks.

When we look at the problems the Muslims face  around the world, we see a lot of oppression as in  China and Russia and we also see the suppression of Islam in the Muslim Lands. There are also the attempts at subverting Islam in the Western Lands.

With all this going on, it is easy to get into a cycle of apathy, woe and being disheartened.
However we should realise that this suppression and oppression of Islam is there for a reason. It is because the Muslims around the world are calling for Islam, they want to live by it and they want to show it to the world.

The Hadith of Our Rasool (SAW) clearly shows that soon Islam will be back.

“Tyranny will not remain subdued after me but for a little while, until it ascends and all that prevails of injustice will expel justice until the one who is born in the tyranny will not know other than it. Then Allah the blessed and Almighty will give justice and all that will come within justice will expel tyranny, until the one who is born within justice will not know other than it.” [Ahmed]

All the Muslims who are under at least 85years old, have been born under this oppression so InshaAlllah we all impatiently await and eagerly work for the Khilafah.

This week’s talk we discuss this oppression being carried out in China and the signs of the awakening of the Islamic Giant around the world.

“Prophethood will last with you for as long as Allah wants it to last. Then there will be Khilafah according to the Method of Prophethood, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then Allah will end it when He wishes. Then there will be hereditary rule, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then Allah will end it when He wishes. Then there will be an oppressive rule, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then Allah will end it when He wishes. Then there will be a Khilafah according to the method of Prophethood.” Then he (SAW) fell silent.”

The Sharia, the Rules of Allah (swt), is one of the many things in Islam that is talked about today in a derogatory way to try and remove the confidence from the minds of the Muslims.

It is often termed barbaric or oppressive by those who really don’t understand it or its purpose or how it is even implemented.

This week’s talks discusses the issue of the Sharia from the perspective of the punishment system and as a preventative measure to remove crime from the society so that the innocent don’t have to lock themselves up in their property or anchor any possessions with a steel cable. We also discuss how the Sharia is more than just the punishment system and how it is a framework to run life’s affairs to prevent and if the inevitable happens, to resolve problems.

We also compare Islam to the Western judicial system and whether it actually works in preventing crime or even bringing the level down. Whether it brings security and peace of mind to the people in society, or is it just another part of a system that is out of sync with the mindset of the rest of society, it’s culture and behaviour – and hence fails as a result?

The concept of equality is much talked about in Western society and is supposed to be one of the strongest issues that is used to push capitalistic values.

Often it is the covering Muslim sister who, obeys her creator, who become the easy targets for this attack. They are used to label Islam as oppressive, barbaric and uncultured with no rights for the Woman whatsoever.

But when we take a closer look at the Western society and values, we realise that this concept of equality is really a myth. It does not exist in the work place, for the old, for the coloured or even the women and what we really is a society where everyone has more a value as an economic commodity than a Human being.

This week’s talk however looks closely at this whole notion of equality and breaks it down and highlights what really oppression is and how Islam deals with this issue of women’s rights as well as the rights of everyone else in society, the young, the old, the coloured, the women, the men and so on..
