United Nations False-Flag Terror Attack Planned For New York City?



SWITZERLAND, Zurich  Just two days after the failed 2012 DNC Terror Plot, potentially the most high profile UN meeting ever was scheduled for September 26, 2012, in New York City. The meeting date also falls onYom Kippur which completes the annual period known in Judaism as the Yamim Nora’im or “Days of Awe”. Historically, events involving U.S., Israeli and Iranian presidents are scheduled months in advance, but not this time.
The World Headquarters of the United Nations is scheduled to host the leaders of Israel and Iran and U.S. President Obama. In addition, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron are also scheduled to attend the U.N. forum. According to reports, Iranian President Ahmadinejad and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas have allegedly threatened to use the 2012 General Assembly to advance the campaign for Palestinian unilateral statehood.
Given the current geopolitical climate, there is a real possibility that the United Nations’ World Headquarters in New York City, which is currently “under construction”, may be the site of a major false-flag terror attack. The motives for a UN terror attack would be multifaceted in that it would garner support for Obama at home, potentially create a reason to suspend the 2012 U.S. presidential election, create unprecedented racial and religious turmoil in the Middle East and give the United Nations a reason to move their World Headquarters to Geneva, Switzerland. Based on its location, convenient construction and terror drills, a high profile 9/11 style attack (plane into building, building comes down) on the UN building may be planned.
Middle East Terror Warnings
The unprecedented UN meeting comes in the wake of the U.S. embassy attack in Libya, which has recently been alleged to have been a CIA/Mossad operation. Also, a Joint Intelligence Bulletin issued by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has warned that the violent outrage aimed at U.S. embassies spawned by the movie mocking the Prophet Mohammed could spread to America by extremist groups eager to “exploit anger” and that “the risk of violence could increase both at home and abroad as the film continues to gain attention.” On top of that, a French satirical magazine has published controversial caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed stating that the illustrations would “shock those who will want to be shocked”. It appears that a global operation to rile up Islamic hatred towards the West is being executed with the potential goal of providing cover for an impending terror attack on the West.
Simultaneous War Games
Occurring exactly at the same time as the UN meeting is the largest Western naval exercise ever held in the Middle East. The military exercise which allegedly focuses on countering the threat of Iranian anti-ship mines is unprecedented in scope and includes the U.K., France, Japan, Jordan and New Zealand for a total of more than 30 countries. The massive war drill officially started on September 16, 2012 and lasts  through September 27, 2012. Coincidentally, Iran is holding a massive air defense drill in October which incorporates Iranian aerial and ground forces, the army’s air defense systems, as well as Iranian air force fighter jets and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Al Qaeda & New York
On April 3, 2012, it was reported that an Al Qaeda website published a glitzy graphic promising that Al Qaeda would be “coming soon again” to New York, New York. Set against a Manhattan skyline at sunset, the graphic stated, “Al Qaeda – Coming Soon Again in New York”. According to the report, the message initially appeared on a website classified by the NYPD as a Category 1 website, meaning one heavily used by “jihadis”.  A representative of one of the forums published a message allegedly stating, “Allah-willing, [terrorists] will return soon stronger and a bigger thorn in the throats of the enemies and tyrants”.
Iran Disrespected at UN
On multiple occasions, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been blatantly disrespected by Israeli, American and European politicians, dignitaries and ambassadors when they stood up and walked out of his speech to the United Nations’ general assembly. Although Ahmadinejad didn’t seem to mind the distraction, the individuals which left cited Ahmadinejad’s rhetoric in respect to Zionism, Israel’s genocidal policy towards Palestine and the truth behind 9/11 as the justification for their rude behavior. Should a terror attack strike the United Nations it is possible that Iran will be blamed and Ahmadinejad will be scapegoated as wanting revenge for previously being so publically disrespected.
UN Palestinian Statehood Vote 
Even before Palestine could present their bid for official statehood, predictions that Palestinians would turn violent began to circulate. Committing acts of terror prior to a U.N. vote is counterproductive and is obviously not in the best interest of Palestine. This type of propaganda only makes sense when it is understood that Israel is in fact the occupying and terrorizing force in Gaza. Israel is violently opposed to a Palestinian state and will do anything and everything in its power to destroy any notion of Palestinian statehood. If and when Palestine is rejected for statehood by the U.N., the rejection could easily serve as an alleged motive for a future terror attack on the U.N. itself. .Palestine is Israel’s #1 enemy, so if the Israeli Mossad has a chance to set-up Palestine for an international terror attack, they take it.
Palestinian Airlines Activated 
On May 28, 2012, it was reported that Palestinian Airlines was resuming flights after their seven-year hiatus. According to reports, the airline will make two flights per week with just two planes and one hub. The airline will conduct biweekly flights between El Arish, a city on Egypt’s Sinai peninsula adjacent to the border with Gaza, and Marka airbase, located outside Jordan’s capital Amman. Should a 9/11 style terror attack occur, it is possible that the plane would allegedly originate from Palestine, in an attempt to further demonize the Palestinian people.
UN False-Flag Chatter
On October 31, 2011, an alternative new source stated that the U.N. could possibly be a false-flag terror targetintended to take America and the world to war with Iran. According to the report, the CIA is preparing to destroy the asbestos condemned United Nations building in New York by posing as construction contractors. Just like in thecontrolled demolition of the World Trade Center Towers on 9/11, the CIA is preparing to place a small tactical nuke in an excavated hole in the center of the U.N. building’s basement. Like the WTC tower, the presence of asbestos has made the renovations of the U.N. headquarters too expensive with initial costs projected at $1.2 billion. The report goes on to state that the US Congress has already financed this false flag attack by providing $2.65 billion to FEMA on September 29, 2011.
UN Terror Attacks
In August of 2011, the United Nations disclosed that they were a victim of cyber terrorism. The cyber security company McAfee stated that the cyber-attack came from a “state actor” but declined to name it. Eventually, the “state actor” will be outed and chances are the nation of Iran will be implicated. More recently, on August 15, 2012, a bomb has exploded near a fuel truck outside a hotel where U.N. observers were staying in Syria. Although this was not a direct attack on the U.N., it may be an indication that the U.N. will be targeted in the near future.
The UN “Remodel” 
Is the U.N. conveniently being renovated just prior to its scheduled destruction? According to a  Press Core report, “Like the World Trade Center Towers the presence of asbestos has made the renovations of the U.N. headquarters too expensive and impractical. The cost to safely remove the asbestos from the ceilings of the building doubled the initial projected cost of $1.2 billion. That is the official revised cost. The actual cost is much higher. Some estimates put it as much as 10 times more expensive. Now that they have discovered that the U.N. pipes are also lined with asbestos the cost to remove and replace all of the piping in the building makes the UN building a perfect site for another CIA false flag attack.” According to Fox News, the U.N. has already used $2 billion and is asking for $3 billion more to finish the remodel, ultimately keeping the U.N. building an open construction site whereby explosives could be easily installed at any time.
WMD Drill at UN
On April 5, 2011, the U.N. building in New York City served as a staging ground for a massive terror drill with the main focus being on nuclear terrorism. The drill began at the U.N. and then moved to other locations throughout New York City. The week-long series of terror drills involved dozens of agencies and first responders and focused on one of the great concerns of the post-9/11 era: nuclear terrorism. According to report, the NYPD and 70 other law enforcement agencies tested their ability to detect radiological materials and prevent an attack orchestrated by four fictional terror cells intent on targeting New York City with a “dirty bomb”.
Conclusion
The hurried U.N. Meeting on Yom Kippur involving a majority of the world’s major leaders stinks, period. The sudden timing of the meeting is so abnormal it begs the question: Why is the United Nations in such a rush to give the world stage to the alleged nuke seeking President of Iran and the alleged terror funding President of Palestine on a Jewish holiday? Could the rising violence in the Middle East combined with the U.N. spectacle on a Jewish holiday be the recipe for new terror attacks in America? If there is any more funny terror business in New York City or America for that matter, intelligent Americans now know that Israel and their Mossad executed the 9/11 attacks and won’t be buying into the Arab/Muslim bogeyman this time around.

Whistleblower Protests Illegal NSA Data-Mining

A former employee of the national security agencyNSA has released information revealing that the U.S government has been extracting vast amount of personal data from its citizens.while working at the agency,NSA whistle blower william binny managed the development of a covert software program called THIN THREAD,engineered to adress national security concerns following the 9/11 attacks.


The narrative originated in the late 1990s when Binney, a technical director for the agency, helped develop the software to correlate data from emails, phone calls, Internet searches, and credit card activity and store it in a database to be analyzed. The system was idled by 2000, but then re-launched within weeks of the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York, armed with a $3-million budget to develop new ways to monitor communications of U.S. citizens.

Binney claimed that all safeguards originally planted in the ThinThread software were destroyed, arming NSA officials with more power and resources to spy on U.S. citizens. “I knew the dangers so I built in protections,” he asserted. “And you could still find the bad guys with the protections in it. But that wasn’t what they wanted so they took those things out.”
Due to this explicit violation of constitutional rights, Binney felt the need to apologize to the American people, as his software equipped the federal government with a despotic technological tool which has spawned a civil liberties nightmare. Consequently, the NSA whistleblower has become a political liability for the U.S. government, even prompting an armed raid by the FBI on his home.
During a hacking conference this summer in Las Vegas, NSA Director General Keith Alexander denied allegations that the agency was keeping files on U.S. citizens. "Anyone who would tell you that we're keeping files or dossiers on the American people knows that's not true," Alexander told the gathering of technology and security analysts. However, Binney himself attended the conference and publicly censured Alexander for playing a "word game.” “Once the software takes in data, it will build profiles on everyone in that data,” he affirmed to a convention panel.
A broad array of evidence suggests that Alexander’s defense is severely flawed. The New York Times broke a story in 2005, years after Binney had left the agency, uncovering that the NSA was engaging in a massive warrantless electronic surveillance program. The debacle paved the way to a number of amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 2008 which, according to many computer and security experts, simply provided legal safeguards to the NSA’s data-mining efforts.
This unconstitutional big-government scheme has continued under the Obama administration, spurring an uncompromising assault against national security whistleblowers, particularly against those who have leaked sensitive, and largely oppressive, NSA secrets. 
After subtly protesting behind the scenes, FBI agents raided Binney’s home, aiming guns at him while he was in his shower. “Here’s a guy coming into my shower and pointing a gun at me,” Binney attested. “I’d been cooperating with these people. Why are they doing this?”
Over the past several months, Binney has been deploying a slew of efforts against the government’s unconstitutional practices, illustrating what he affirms is an intensive effort under the Obama White House to record and monitor mass amounts of data across the country, including everything from e-mails to Internet searches to Facebook posts and Twitter accounts.
According to Binney, the NSA has constructed a massive data center in Bluffdale, Utah, to administer its highly confidential program, called Stellar Wind. The building is expected to cost around $2 billion and should be in operation sometime before 2013.
"What's happening is a violation of the constitutional rights of everybody in the country,” Binney told the Guardian. “That’s pretty straightforward. I could not be associated with it.”
President George W. Bush signed the Patriot Act in October 2001, instilling a grave civil liberties mentality that only intensified throughout his presidency. Bush and his Republican allies in Congress launched an unprecedented assault on citizen privacy, under a program sold to the public in the guise of eliminating terrorist-related threats. “The terrorists win, OK?” Binney says. “We’ve lost because we have destroyed our society just to combat them and there was really no reason to do that.”
"People should feel the ability to go out there and and do anything that they want to without being looked at all the time. Monitored. Watched," he added.
President Obama has continued this big-government mentality by signing a four-year extension of three critical provisions in the Patriot Act, including roving wiretaps, searches of business records, and continued surveillance of those suspected of terrorist-related efforts not linked to any defined terrorist group.
Beyond renewing the Patriot Act, Obama has accelerated powers for the government to detain American citizens for so-called national security purposes, as well as deploying the Espionage Act more times than all other U.S. presidents combined. “They are still continuing the same programs — actually, Obama is doing more in some areas,” Binney said.
Meanwhile, William Binney, along with a host of other NSA whistleblowers, has risked everything — his freedom, relationships, and overall livelihood — to warn Americans about the unyielding dangers of NSA domestic surveillance, a despotic and unconstitutional menace that stands diametrically opposed to this nation’s founding principles.

Description of the Beloved PROPHET`S Blessed Physic



It is impossible to turn a blind eye to the fact that Beloved Prophet Muhammad (Praise and Peace be upon Him) is by far the most worthy and the greatest of all mankind, and that he is the most perfect of all, adorned with the most excellent virtues and qualities.
وأحسن منك لم تر قط عيني
I haven’t seen the lovely personality like you

وأجمل منك لم تلد النساء
And no mother have given birth to such a wonderful personality

خُلِقْتَ مبرءاً من كل عيب

His physical description and character have been reported by many of his Companions and we are told that he was the most handsome man ever created, surpassing Prophet Yousuf Alaihis Salam for whom the women of the city cut their hands,
 

فلما سمعت بمكرهن ارسلت اليهن واعتدت لهن متكا واتت كل واحدة منهن سكينا وقالت اخرج عليهن فلما راينه اكبرنه وقطعن ايديهن وقلن حاش لله ما هذا بشرا ان هذا الا ملك كريم
And when she heard of their secret talk, she sent for them and prepared cushioned mattresses for them and gave a knife to each one of them and said to Yusuf, "Come out before them!" When the women saw him they praised him and cut their hands, and said, "Purity is to Allah - this is no human being; this is not but an honorable angel!" [Surah al-Yousuf, Verse 31]

Sayings of the N0ble Companions
about the beloved Prophet's blessed Physic

The following sayings are but a fraction of the multi narrations of the Companion's description of the Prophet (Praise and Peace be upon Him) although they are but a sampling, they are sufficient to convey the perception of his handsomeness. Everyone who met him said they had never seen anyone like him.

When the Companion Sayyiduna Bar'a Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho saw a lock of the Prophet's hair resting on his red robe he commented,
 
ما رأيت من ذي لمة في حلة حمراء أحسن من رسول
"I have never seen anyone with a more beautiful lock of hair than his resting on a red robe."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho said,
 
ما رأيت شيئا أحسن من رسول الله ، كأن الشمس تجري في وجهه ، وإذا ضحك يتلألأ في الجدر
"I have never seen anyone more handsome than the Messenger of Allah, it was as though the sun was shining upon his face and when he laughed it reflected from the wall."

Ibn Asakir narrates from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Ayeshah Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha:
كنت أخيط في السحر فسقطت مني الابرة فطلبتها فلم أقدر عليها فدخل رسول الله فتبينت الإبرة بشعاع نور وجهه
"I was sewing when the needle fell. Despite searching, I was unable to find it. It was just then that the Messenger of Allah (SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam) came. From the light emanating from the Prophet's blessed face, I was able to see the needle.." [Khasais al-Kubra, Vol. 1, Page 109 | Sharha Shifa Hashiya Naseem ar-Riyadh]
Someone asked Jabir Ibn Samura Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho,
كان وجهه مثل السيف ؟ فقال : لا ، بل مثل الشمس ، والقمر ، وكان مستديرا
"Was his face like a sword?" He replied, "No, it was like the sun and the moon, and round." [Sahih Muslim, Vol. 4, Page 1823]

Your face is as bright as the full moon
Let your grace and light fall on me soon

Umm Ma'bad Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha, the lady from whom the description of the Prophet (Praise and Peace be upon Him) was more profuse, said,
أجمل الناس من بعيد ، وأحلاه ، وأحسنه من قريب
"Even from a distance he was the most beautiful of people, and as he drew near it was apparent that he was the most handsome." [Dalail an-Nabuwwah lil Bayhaqi, Vol. 1, Page 279]
Abi Hala's son said,
يتلألأ وجهه تلألؤ القمر ليلة البدر
"His face glowed like the full moon." [Shamail Tirmidhi, Page 21]

AsSalatu wa asSalamu Alaiku Ya Sayyidi Ya Habeebi Ya RasoolALLAH
SallAllahu Alaihi wa Aalihi wa SaHbihi wa Baraaka wa Sallam
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu states,
إذا تكلم رئى كالنور يخرج من بين ثناياه
"When the Beloved of Allah (SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam) used to speak then noor could be seen emerging from between his blessed teeth."

Sunan Darimi, Vol. 1, Page 70, Hadith 59
Shamail Tirmidhi, Vol. 1, Page 16
The fourth khalifa of Islam, Hadrat Sayyiduna Mawla Ali al-Murtuda may Allah honor his face, said at the end of his description of the Prophet (Praise and Peace be upon Him)
من رآه بديهة هابه ، ومن خالطه معرفة أحبه ، يقول ناعته : لم أر قبله ، ولا بعده مثله
"Anyone who came upon him by chance became filled with timidity towards of him and those who kept company with him loved him."
 [Shamail Tirmidhi, Page 21]
None like you was ever seen or created;
Authority stands in your person consummated.

May Allah illuminate my heart and yours, and increase our love for this Noble Prophet Praise and Peace be upon Him and keep us firm on the Maslak-e-Haqq Ahl as-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah... Aameen!!

THE BEAUTIFUL EYES OF BELOVED PROPHET MOHAMMAD PBUH



In the following piece of work, We have given a detailed description of the gorgeous eyes of our Noble Prophet Muhammad (May Allah give him peace & blessings) that were described by many of his companions, and We have explained the Arabic terms used in Arabic to describe them:

1. The beautiful eyes were “wide” and “large” described as [1]"عظيمُ العَينَيْن" and [2]"كانتْ عَينَاهُ نَجْلَاوَين".

2. The Iris was "extremely black" described as [3]"أدْعَجُ العَين" and [4] "أسودُ الحَدَقًة" however the former more precisely means “a large eye with a dark black Iris having an extremely white sclera” "أدعج العين شديد سواد حدقتهما لكن قيد مع سعة العين وشدة بياضهما ".[5]

3. The sclera -white part of the eye- had a touch of redness in it described as [6]"أشْكًلُ العَيْن", [7]"مُشرّبُ العَينِ بِحُمْرَة" and "كانَ فِي عَينَيْهِ تَمَزُّجٌ من حُمْرَة".

Shu`ba once asked Simak about the meaning of "أشْكًلُ العَيْن" to which he said: “an eye that has a long eyelashes”. Qadhi `Iyyadh commented: this is a misapprehension (wahm) by Simak and the sound view is that the word "شَكلًة" in Arabic means to have a complexion of redness in the eye as the entire scholars have agreed to and this is what the entire scholars of the science of unusual Arabic literary (al-Gharib) have concurred on. The word "شَهلَة" is used to describe a touch of redness in the Iris. Redness in the eye is a praiseworthy attribute and a handsome quality according to the Arabs.[8]

Hafiz al-`Iraqi considered this redness one of the signs of the Prophet hood. When the Noble Prophet travelled with Maysara to Basra, Rahib questioned him whether he had some redness in his eyes, upon knowing, he affirmed that he is the promised Messenger.[9]

4. The eyelashes were “long” and “full” described as "أًَهْدَبُ الأَشفار" .[10]

5. The eyelashes were naturally dark black as if kuhl had been applied to them described as "أكْحل العَينَين" [11]
6. The blessed eyebrows were “long” and shaped like a “bow” described as"أزَجّ الحَواجِب" [12]. Al-Qamus defines “azajj” as “bow shaped and long” and al-Sihah defines it as “thin and long”. [13] Al-Fa’q defines it as “fine eyebrows that lead onto the end of the eye”.[14] Munawi adds “plenteous in hair and far stretched”.[15]

7. The eyebrows were “fine” and not “thick” described as "دَقِيقَ الحَاجِبَين".

8. The eyebrows were “perfect” and “never met in the middle” above the nose, described as "سَوابِغَ في غيرِ قَرَن"[16].

Sayyiduna `Ali, Umm Ma`bad and Suwayd bin Gafalah reported that the Noble Prophet’s eyebrows (upon him be peace & blessings) did meet, giving the Arabic description "مقرُونَ الحاجِبَين". However, the scholars have explained the sound view is that they “did not” meet and reconciled between the two reports by saying that if one was to “attentively” look at the eyebrows, he would realise that there was a “thin white gap” between them, otherwise it appeared as if they met.[17] The word that describes the non-meeting of the eyebrows in Arabic is "بَلج" and thus "أبلَج الحواجب".[18]

9. In the affairs of Allah, the beloved’s anger would appear as such that a vane would clearly appear filled by blood in between his eyebrows rising over his forehead, described as "بَينهما عِرقٌ يُدِرُّه الغَضَب".

Our Beloved Prophet's eyes (upon him be peace & blessing) were mentioned by many poets in Persian, Arabic and Urdu. Among the great Gnostics who often made mention of the precise details of the eyes were Pir Sayyid Mehr `Ali Shah in his Punjabi odes which he penned after seeing the Noble Mustafa in just outside Madina in Wadiy Hamra, and the great Mujaddid Imam Ahmad Ridha especially in his Qasida Salamiya, in which he described the entire hilya. The people of the subcontinent are always overwhelmed by these odes as much that my personal experience is that hair lifts up on my skin and tears fill my eyes when passionately sang.

Pir Sayyid Mehr Ali Shah says;
“The Beloved’s bow-shaped eyebrows appeared before me
And it seemed though the lashes were firing arrows”

Eleven Signs of Love for the Beloved PROPHET PBUH

Someone who claims that he/she loves another will prefer that person to all others, he will also prefer what they like, if it were otherwise then he would be acting and his love would not be sincere. The following signs will be apparent in those who truly love the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam,
 
First: The first sign of love for the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, is that he/she will follow his example, apply his prophetic way in words, deeds, obedience to his commands, avoidance of whatever he prohibited and adopt his manner in times of ease, hardship, joy and disappointment. Allah says, "Say (Prophet Muhammad, 'If you love Allah, follow me and Allah will love you." [Aal Imran : 31]

Second: The second sign is that he/she will set aside his own desires and appetite in preference to the law established and encouraged by the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam. Allah says, "Those before them who had made their dwelling in the abode (City of Medina), and because of their belief love those who have emigrated to them; they do not find any (envy) in their chests for what they have been given and prefer them above themselves, even though they themselves have a need." [al Hashr : 9]

Third: The third sign is that a person's anger of others is only for the sake of seeking the pleasure of Allah. Anas, Malik's son was told by the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, "My son, if you can refrain from holding a grudge in your heart from morning to evening, then do so." He then added, "My son, that is part of my prophetic way. Whosoever revives my way has loved me, and whosoever loves me is with me in the Garden." [Sunan Tirmidh, Kitab al-Ilm, Vol 4, Page 151]

If a person possesses this fine quality, then he/she has perfect love for Allah and His Messenger. If he is found to be slightly lacking in this quality then his love is imperfect, but not devoid of it. The proof of this is found in the saying of the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, when a person faced punishment for imbibing. As the person was about to receive his punishment a man cursed the offender, whereupon the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, said, "Do not curse him. He loves Allah and His Messenger." [Sahih Bukhari, Kitab al-Hudood, Vol 3, Page 133]

Fourth: The fourth sign is that one mentions the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, in abundance – whosoever loves something, it is constantly upon his tongue. [Al Shifa bi Ta'reefi Huqooq al-Mustafa, Vol 2, Page 32]
Fifth: The fifth sign is yearning to meet the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam. Every lover yearns to be with their beloved. When the tribe of Ash'arites approached Medina, they were heard chanting, "Tomorrow, we will be with those we love, Muhammad and his Companions!" [Dalail an-Nabuwwah lil Bayhaqi, Vol 5, Page 351]

Sixth: The sixth sign is that as well as the remembrance of the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, someone who loves him will be found praising and respecting him whenever he is mentioned and display humility, and lower himself when he hears his name. We are told by Isaac At -Tujibi that after the passing of the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, whenever the Companions heard his name they became humble, their skin trembled and they wept. As for the other followers of the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, some experienced the same out of love and yearning for him, whereas others did so out of respect and esteem. [Al Shifa bi Ta'reefi Huqooq al-Mustafa, Vol 2, Page 33]

Seventh: The seventh sign is the love expressed for the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, and the People of his House, and his Companions – the Emigrants (Muhajirun) and the Helpers (Ansar) alike for his sake. A person with this sign will be found hostile to those who hate them.

Of Al Hasan and Al Hussain, may Allah be pleased with them, the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, said, "O Allah, I love them, so please love them."

Sahih Bukhari, Kitab al Manaqib, Vol 5, Page 23
Sahih Muslim, Kitab al Fadhail, Vol 4, Page 1883
Sunan Tirmidhi, Kitab al Manaqib, Vol 5, Page 327

Al-Hasan said that the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, also said, "O Allah, I love him, so love the one who loves him." Of his two grandsons, the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, also said, "Whosoever loves them, loves me." Then he said. Whosoever loves me, loves Allah. Whosoever hates them hates me and whosoever hates me hates Allah." 

Muqaddam Sunan Ibn Maja, Vol 1, Page 51
Majma' az-Zawaid, Vol 9, Page 180

The Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, said, "Do not make my companions targets after me! Whosoever loves them loves them it is because they love me, and whosoever hates them it is through their hatred of me. Whosoever harms them, harms me. Whosoever does something to hurt me does it is as if it is hurtful to Allah. Whosoever does something that appears to be hurtful to Allah is about to be seized."

Sunan Tirmidhi, Kitab al Manaqib, Vol 5, Page 358
Musnad Ahmad, Vol 5, Page 54

Of his family, the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, said referring to Hadrat Fatima, may Allah be pleased with her, "She is part of me, whosoever hates her hates me."

Sahih al Bukhari, Kitab al Manaqib, Vol 5, Page 24
Sahih Muslim, Kitab Fadhail as-Sahaba, Vol 4, Page 1903

The Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, told Hadrat Ayesha to love Osama, Zaid's son because he loves him. [Sunan Tirmidhi, Kitab al-Manaqib, Vol 5, Page 342]

The Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, spoke of the Helpers (Ansar) saying, "The sign of certain faith is love for the Ansar, whereas the sign of hypocrisy is hatred for them."

Sahih al Bukhari, Kitab al Manaqib, Vol 5, Page 27
Sahih al Bukhari, Kitab al Iman, Vol 1, Page 9
Sahih Muslim, Kitab al Iman, Vol, Page 85

Omar's son tells us that the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, said, "Whosoever loves the Arabs loves them because he loves me. Whereas whosoever hates them hates them because of their hatred of me." [Al Shifa bi Ta'reefi Huqooq al-Mustafa, Vol 2, Page 34]

The fact is when someone loves another, he loves everything that person loves, and this was indeed the case with the Companions. When Anas saw the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, eating a piece of pumpkin, he said, "From that day I loved pumpkins." [Al Shifa bi Ta'reefi Huqooq al-Mustafa, Vol 2, Page 34]

Al-Hasan, the grandson of the Prophet, may the peace of Allah be upon them, went with Jafar to Salma and asked her to prepare some food the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, used to eat. [Shamail Tirmidhi, Page 155]

Omar once saw the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, wearing a pair of yellow coloured sandals, so he too wore a pair of the same colour.

Sahih al Bukhari, Kitab al-Libas, Vol 7, Page 132
Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Hajj, Vol 2, Page 844

Eighth: The eighth sign is hatred of anyone who hates Allah and His Messenger, praise and peace be upon him. Such people are those who show hostility towards to Allah and His Messenger. Believers having this sign avoid all who oppose the prophetic way, and are in opposition to those who introduce innovations into the prophetic way (that are against the spirit of Islam) and find the law he established burdensome. Allah says, "You shall find no nation believing in Allah and the Last Day loving anyone that opposes Allah and His Messenger." [al Mujadilah : 22]

Ninth: The ninth sign is found in those who love the Qur'an which the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, brought, by which the Prophet and they were guided. When asked about the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, Hadrat Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, said, "His character was that of the Qur'an." Part of the love of the Qur'an is listening to its recitation, acting according to it, understanding it, keeping within its bounds and the love of Prophet Muhammad's way. [Al Shifa bi Ta'reefi Huqooq al-Mustafa, Vol 2, Page 35]

Sahl, Abdullah's son spoke of this sign saying, "The sign of loving Allah is love of the Qur'an. The sign of loving the Qur'an is the love of the Prophet. The sign of loving the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, is love of his prophetic way. The sign of loving the prophetic way is the love of the Hereafter. The sign of loving the Hereafter is hatred for this world. The sign of hatred for this world is that you do not amass any of it except for provisions and what you need to arrive safely with in the Hereafter." [Al Shifa bi Ta'reefi Huqooq al-Mustafa, Vol 2, Page 35]

Masood's son said, "No one needs to ask himself about anything other than the Qur'an, if he loves the Qur'an then he loves Allah and His Messenger" praise and peace be upon him.[Bayhaqi fil Aadaab, Page 522]

Tenth: The tenth sign of love for the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, is to have mercy on his nation by advising them well, striving for the betterment of their interest and removing anything that is harmful from them in the same way that the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, was "gentle and merciful to the believers." [al-Taubah : 128]

Eleventh: The eleventh sign of perfect love is found in whosoever restricts himself through self-denial, preferring poverty to the attractions of the world. The Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, told Abu Sa'id Al Khudri, "Poverty for those of you who love me flows quicker than a flood from a mountain's peak to its base." [Sunan Tirmidhi, Kitab az-Zuhd, Vol 4, Page 7]

A man came to the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I love you." The Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, warned, "Be careful of what you say." The man repeat his love for him thrice, whereupon the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam told him, "If you love me prepare yourself quickly for poverty."[Sunan Tirmidhi, Kitab az-Zuhd, Vol 4, Page 7]

Corrupt capitalism approaching endemic levels

bob-diamond-barclays
The pervasive corruption in capitalism is fast approaching a scale where the lack of trust will eventually undermine the system itself
Britain, if not indeed the western world, is in a crisis that envelops all key influential and decision making institutions – politics, media, business, in particular the banks – have all been publicly exposed and humiliated for corrupt, deceptive, highly immoral and in a tiny few cases illegal practices. Given the deep and widespread nature of the malaise the fact that only a handful of individuals have ended up in prison is revealing. Fundamentally, this shows the corrupt and immoral practices, while reprehensible, were in most cases not illegal which is an indictment of capitalism and secular society at large.
Britain’s Barclays bank is the latest institution to hit the headlines for corrupt practices. Barclays Bank has been fined a staggering £290 million – the largest banking fine in UK history – for manipulating a key bank lending rate – LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). Whilst the commonly known base interest rate is set by the Bank of England, banks lend to each other using a different metric – the Libor rate.
This rate is calculated by the British Bankers Association (BBA) based on what appears to be far from transparent practices – with daily estimates submitted by the major banks on the cost of their own interbank lending, a clear recipe for hidden and corrupt practices if there was any. Subsequently, trillions of pounds of financial transactions and prices are then set every day across the country based on the Libor.
Barclays Bank submitted false and misleading figures about the banks’s financial standing in a bid to boost profits during the peak of the recession through 2007 and 2009. This was done to disguise the financial difficulty that Barclays was going through during the economic downturn and astonishingly but perhaps unsurprisingly may have had the blessing of the Bank of England – one of the main banking industry regulators.
With this background in mind we make the following points:
Whilst much is being made out of an impending enquiry into the Banking industry the reality is criminal charges have not been brought forward against the bank as technically it did not do anything illegal. Deception, manipulation and hiding the truth is not illegal in capitalism. Indeed it seen as perfectly rational capitalist behaviour.
Looking at other recent examples, highly immoral practices were found in the tax system. The rich, wealthy and celebrities use tax vehicles and anti-avoidance schemes created within the tax system to avoid paying taxes. Once again they are not doing anything illegal but something perfectly rational given a capitalist mindset.
The problem therefore lies not with highly suspect individuals or institutions but with capitalism itself which creates the mindset that produces these corrupt behaviours and practices. What is worse is that some influential and powerful people see this mindset as a virtue, in spite of the widespread public revulsion when the corruption is exposed.
Deception, manipulation and lies are all within the rules and motivations of capitalism. In contrast, business and the rules of trading in Islam are built upon the principles of trust, integrity, openness and transparency. This is exemplified by the Prophetic traditions of RasoolAllah (saw) in the following Ahadith:
Reported in Imam Malik’s Mawatta Hadith no: 97 narrated on the the authority of Abu Huraira,
Malik related to me from Abuz-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Do not go out to meet the caravans for trade, do not bid against each other, outbidding in order to raise the price, and a townsman must not buy on behalf of a man of the desert, and do not tie up the udders of camels and sheep so that they appear to have a lot of milk, for a person who buys them after that has two recourses open to him after he milks them. If he is pleased with them, he keeps them and if he is displeased with them, he can return them along with a sa of dates.” Malik said, “The explanation of the words of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, according to what we think – and Allah knows best – ‘do not bid against each other,’ is that it is forbidden for a man to offer a price over the price of his brother when the seller has inclined to the bargainer and made conditions about the weight of the gold and he has declared himself not liable for faults and such things by which it is recognised that the seller wants to make a transaction with the bargainer. This is what he forbade, and Allah knows best.” Malik said, “There is no harm, however, in more than one person bidding against each other over goods put up for sale.” He said, “Were people to leave off haggling when the first person started haggling, an unreal price might be taken and the disapproved would enter into the sale of the goods. This is still the way of doing things among us.”
In contrast to capitalism, as the above hadith shows, Islam not only stamps out corrupt actions but the roots of corruption and deception are closed off. This ensures businesses are characterised by good and not falsehood, if this was not stopped it will eventually lead to the breakdown of trust and integrity among all business transactions. The pervasive corruption in capitalism we are seeing exposed is fast approaching a scale where the trust of the masses is being eroded which will eventually undermine the system itself.
