IMAM JAMIL Al-AMIN UNDERWENT SEXUAL HUMILIATION in PRISON: Guards Tried to Break Down His Islamic Identity

Transparency & Accountability are Essential to Islamic Leadership: Reveal Your Income and Sources of Income:Leave your old ways

• Even before he received revelation, Muhammad (pbuh) was a man of outstanding virtue whose life was well-known to the community. Hence Khadija (r.a) affirmed that no evil force could have visited him. Muslim leaders should be known to the public as they are, not as products of public relationing.
• Muhammad (pbuh) was known as Al-Ameen [the trustworthy]. At the point when he was forced to leave Makka, the goods of tribes opposed to him were in his safekeeping and he left young Ali (r.a) behind to give them back to the owners.
• Owing to this transparency, the enemies of Islam found it very difficult to accuse him. The leaders of Islam after him, Abu Bakr, 'Umar, Usman, Ali [Allah be pleased with them] were of similar high character and accountable for all that they owned and spent.
• By contrast, the conditions of Muslim leaders in America are at a very low level of virtue even by non-Muslim standards.
• For years, these self-proclaimed leaders obtained funds from overseas and tried to impose themselves on the Muslim community on the basis of their financial power. Thus the richest, not the best, became the leaders of America's Muslims.
• There are leaders here who do not reveal their incomes or their sources of income. As a result, most Muslims do not know the real allegiance of their leaders.
• Recently, one such leader, after being arrested, revealed that he had been working for the State Department. He used government funds to infiltrate Muslim communities and was a well-known figure at ISNA and ICNA Conventions.
• Muslims need to know what is the relationship of their leaders with the FBI.
• Last year an Imam in Brooklyn, associated with ISNA, told the Wall Street Journal that he takes $44,000 years annually from the funds collected at his mosque. Another Imam, who speaks at ICNA conferences regularly, left a mosque in Albany where he was being paid $50,000 yearly because it was too little for him.
• Surely, Islam does not allow us to be paid for leading prayers, giving Juma Khutbas and teaching Islam. We should feel honored to do this for free, unless there is some serious need or difficulty. We SHOULD NOT MAKE A JOB and a BUSINESS out of religion.
• The Muslim world is facing a cataclysmic situation. Will we still not review our ways, apologize to the Ummah and follow the Sunnah?
• It is time to stop building MILLION DOLLAR MOSQUES and million dollar parking lots for the flashy cars of the suburbanites who visit these cosy retreats. The money is badly needed to fight for the rights of hundreds, thousands of Muslims stuck in prisons across the country. The money is needed for the children of Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bangladesh. Allah's curse is on those who waste their funds while the children die of disease and malnutrition.
• We must urge these leaders: REMOVE THE NAME OF "ISLAMIC" and /or "Muslim" from their organization names unless you are willing to be Islamically accountable.
• These leaders must affirm that they will put the QUR'AN and the SUNNAH before ALL other considerations. They must affirm under oath that they are not working for the FBI, the State Department and intelligence agencies.

"SAUDI" ARABIA: KHOBAR, after YANBU, SIGNALS COMING DEMISE OF SAUDI RULING FAMILY

• The Saudi ruling family has not provided ANY evenue for peaceful change.
• Monarchy is Haram [legally forbidden] in Islam. The only legitimate form of Islamic rule is Khilafa (Caliphate).
• The Saudis have a huge budget for INTERNAL security estimated at more than $3 billion for such a small population. The security forces are so repressive that Saudi students living in the U.S. for decades dared not speak against the rulers.
• The Saudis permit, endorse and fund a sterile version of Islam which is bereft of anything other than the exernalized rituals of Islam. Women have NO rights. RACISM is rampant especially against Pakistanis and Africans. [Hindus in large numbers are working there in spite of India's repression in Kashmir.]
• The wealth of Arabia is at the service of America and European powers while across the Red Sea, Muslim populations in Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan live in dreadful conditions.
• Owing to the uprising led by Osama bin Laden, the people of Arabia are turning openly against the Saudi family. The unthinkable is happening in that EVERY month there are fire fights in Arabian cities between Saudi forces and Islamic fighters. The assailants against American/European interests in Arabia are all seemingly from Arabia. Hence the Saudis are unable to present them to the public in an open trial.
• Crown Prince Abdullah and Prince Bandar, Bush's friend, are becoming hysterical in their attacks on the assailants, calling them against Islam and humanity. Observers say that such rhetoric is fruitless because the Muslim world sees Abdullah and Bandar as American agents who are devoid of Islamic authenticity and utterly lacking in the basic virtues of Islam. [MOST OBSERVERS AGREE THAT SUCH mujahideen attacks as that in Khobar and earlier in Yanbu WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT GRASSROOTS SUPPORT FROM THE PEOPLE OF ARABIA.]
• The silence which the Saudis had imposed on Arabia has been shattered. The decline of the Saudis has begun and most strategists would say that their departure from the blessed land of the last of the Prophets, Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, is only a matter of time. {Political wags say that Prince Bandar might have to find employment at Crawford ranch in Texas.} The unfortunate reality is that the Saudi family has accumulated so much wealth in the U.S., Europe and Australia that they will be able to live in luxury even after being driven out.
