Two Heroes, Two Classics, & Some Updates

Two Heroes


Recently, while going through some spring-cleaning, this historic photo surfaced. It was taken during Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's 2007 visit to the UN headquarters in New York. Br. Yusuf from Boston also dug up a short YouTube video in which the President and Imam Musa pose together for a photo:



Two Classics

If you haven't seen these, well... watch 'em now:

Some Updates

• We're back on Facebook! Spread the word!
• For those who didn't read our October post, Blak Madeen, a Muslim hip hop team from Boston which has consistently shown us support, came out with a new album--Sacred Defense--last November. If you don't already have a copy, click here to buy one. A video for one of the tracks ("Engage the Enemy") can now be viewed here on their MySpace page. Thanks for all the support, brothers!
  
• Finally, please be patient while we go through some website changes. In the coming days and weeks, we will be transferring website management tasks from a professional (but overly busy) webmaster to "one of us". Bear with us as we learn the ropes... insha'Allah, in the long run, this should significantly improve our web presence.

A Fundraising Luncheon
for the Family of
IMAM LUQMAN

“O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done.”
(al Hujurat, 49:6)

There is a psychological war being waged against the global Ummah. Domestically, the FBI intimidates us. On the international front, the CIA continues to kill our leaders overseas and impose/perpetuate puppet regimes (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, to name a few). In this war, the most deadly Western institutions are its media, its think tanks, and its departments and institutes for strategic studies; in a calculated fashion, all cooperate to misinform, mis-educate, and implement image and perception management techniques to justify their enslavement, invasion, and general oppression of Muslims.

We of the As-Sabiqun movement will continue to challenge Zionist American domination of Islamic affairs locally and worldwide.

It is related by 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, "Every Muslim is a Muslim's brother. He should neither harm him himself nor leave him alone when others treat him unjustly, (but try to help him). Whoever will fulfill the need of a brother, Allah will fulfill his need; and whoever will remove the distress of a Muslim, he will find a distress of his removed on the Day of Requital; and whoever will hide the shame of a Muslim, his sins will be hidden on the Last Day." (Muslim)

We are holding a fundraising luncheon in honor of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah. All proceeds will go to his widow and children, insha’Allah.

Sunday, March 14, 2010 / 1:30 pm
Masjid Al-Islam / 8210 MacArthur Blvd. / Oakland, CA 94605
For further information, call: 202.904.1152 or e-mail: imammusa2009@hotmail.com

If you are too uncomfortable or afraid to attend this event in person but would like to support the cause, please purchase a money order and send it to: Masjid Al-Islam Imam Luqman Fund / 8210 MacArthur Blvd. / Oakland, CA 94605. For those who will attend, join us in also celebrating our newly opened center of strategic planning and work in Washington, DC: the Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare!

The Holy Prophet (saw) is reported to have said: “When you see an evil, you must change it with your hand. If you cannot do so, then change it with your tongue. If you cannot do this, then (detest it) with your heart, and that is the weakest degree of faith.”

We do not have a military option (“change it with your hand”). Therefore, we shall use our voice in defense of Islam, Muslims, and justice. We will continue to fight this psychological war, even if it is all alone.

P.S. Since the martyrdom of Imam Luqman, we have raised $3,000. We can do better than that. Allah (swt) has given the Muslims an opportunity to rescue America and the world from Zionist American domination. The Zionists are aiming to take civil liberties away from the Muslims first and everyone else next. If you want to be a good Muslim/American, then demand truth and fair dealing from your criminal government!
