FATWAS ON THE AHAMADIYA MOVEMENT

http://alhafeez.org/rashid/scholars.html
1974 Declaration by World Muslim League (Rabita al-Alam al-Islami)
by Mohammad Bashir
World Muslim League held its annual conference at Makkah Al-Mukaramma Saudi Arabia from 14th to 18th of Rabiul Awwal 1394 H (April 1974) in which 140 delegations of Muslim countries and organizations from all over the world participated. I (Mohammad Bashir) too was there in this Conference alongwith the other journalists from all over the world. The Conference unanimously adopted the following Resolution regarding Qadianism.
Qadianism or Ahmadiyyat: It is a subversive movement against Islam and the Muslim world, which falsely and decietfully claims to be an Islamic sect; who under the guise of Islam and for the sake of mundane interests contrives and plans to damage the very foundations of Islam. Its eminent deviations from the basic Islamic principles are as follows:
Its founder claimed that he was a Prophet.
They deliberately distort the meanings of the verses of the Holy Quran.
They decalred that Jehad has been obolished.
Qadianism was originally fostered by the British imperialism. Hence it has been flourishing under her flag. This movement has completely been disloyal to and dishonest in affairs of the Muslim Ummah. Rather, it has been loyal to Imperialism and Zionism. It has deep associations and cooperation with the anti Islamic forces and teachings especially through the following nefarious methods:
Construction of mosques with the assistance of the anti Islamic forces wherin the misleading Qadiani thoughts are imparted to the people.
Opening of schools institutions and orphanages wherein the people are taught and trained as to how they can be more anti Islamic in their activities. They also published the corrupted versions of the Holy Quran in different local and international languages.
In order to combat these dangers, the Conference recommends the following measures:
All the Muslim organization in the world must keep a vigilant eye on all the activities of Qadianisin their respective countries; to confine them all strictly to their schools, institutions and orphanages only. Moreover he Muslims of the world be shown the true picture of Qadianism and be briefed of their various tactics so that the Muslims of the world be saved from their designs .
They must be declared non Muslims and ousted form the fold of Islam. And be barred to enter the Holy lands.
There must be no dealings with the Qadianis. They must be coycotted socially , economically and culturally Nor they be married with or to Nor they be allowed to be buried in the Muslims graveyards. And they be treated like other non Muslims.
All the Muslim countries must impose restrictions on the activities of the claimant of Prophethood Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani’s followers; must declare them a non Muslim minority must not etrust them them with any post of responsibility in any Muslim country.
The alterations effected by them in the Holy Quran must be made public and the people be briefed of them and all these be prohibited for further publication.
All such groups as are deviators from islam must be treated at par with the Qadianis.

JUVENILE YOUTHS

The little things we take for granted
A wide topic with lots of implications. Our societies took advantage of some of the little things we should have cherish and promote. I was watching a small documentary about a small U.K town. This town was control by juvenile youths. The people together with the police came with an idea of introducing a self-impose curfew.
Youths are barred from living home from 9pm to morning. This means parents who couldn’t spend time with children due to bickering and endless quarrels are forced to find a compromise. To stay together as a family, talk and discuss issues. This self-impose curfew stopped the night time fighting and noise. People felt safe and can sleep with ease. Anti-social behaviours create endless police time wasting. The curfew helps safe police time, no form filling, no arrest and no jail time.
The summer holiday in the town went fine and children safety was guaranteed.
The little things, i mean, spending time with one’s family and children. Argue in a polite and respectable manner. Eat together and chat. The community spirit and harmony is a small thing modern way of life can eliminate but, it is central to social harmony and peace.

SENKO, A PRE-ISLAMIC RITUAL IN WULLI

watch this video of a pre-Islamic ritual in wulli. the act is perform by a man who only his guide can identify, known in mandinka as jobo. this person is of communal importance. he perform for the community in dispelling evil spirits. the association of jnn's are central to his powers. but the sad part is before one becomes a senko, he must sacrifice his sister to the snake, who will later die. this was a believe in pre-islamic wulli, but since islamisation banish all such practises, the community re-enact the performance of the senko (a from of kankuran).
check it out, for non-mandinka speakers, sorry.

my best movie so far

Tom Hanks is my best actor. the guy hardly does funny stuffs in his acting. no much exposure or sex. very good acting and funny. i love his movie the Terminal. he was brilliant in that. the film was base on a fictional country of Krakozhia, there was civil war taking place. he was also trying to go to new york to get an autograph from a jazz legend as a promise to late dad. what a good old fashion son! he spent over 9 month at the terminal for lack of entry visa into fortress U.S. and he spoke Bulgarian in film. i laughed throughout the film. he was witty and funny.
did you watch the film? how is it? i am more into old movie's.

the truth about HIV in the Gambia

there is an unconfirmed theory that, the real statistics about HIV in the Gambia is not correct. no one is doing a good job of counting the real number of people infected with the disease. our government is busy patronising the president's treatment programs, so no one dear question the real number of people infected. i hope our papers conduct a good investigative journalism into this saga. men traveling to the Gambia on holiday, please be careful. don't let the change in your pocket put you into a life long nightmare. be careful and act responsibly. stop the promiscuity and stay sober and aware of the dangers of HIV. this is a real danger for us all.

WELCOMING RAMADAM

our great month is approacing slowly. it is a month of many blessings and of soul searching. a month of remembrance of the poor and the weak. a month for one to detox and renew his/her faith. a month to reconsider one's actions and seek foregiveness from family and friends. a month to amass many good deeds and hope the Almighty God accept all your efforts.
on a lighter note, a month of worry and despair for the sanyang kunda, suso kunda and camara kunda folks. the big eaters. they fast but consume over loaded amount of food early in the morning and then sleep all day. i hope they can do it the right way.
I ask all and sundry to foregive me if through my writings offended anyone. I wish every one a blessed ramadan. read the holy book alot and do a lot of nawafil (extra-prayers). observe the fast appropraitely.
