Tauhid

Osama: What is Tauhid?

Saddam: of course I know this one…… it's to believe in one God

Osama: Actually you're wrong

Saddam: Wwwwwwwwwhat!!!! Come on, every one knows that Tauhid means to believe in one God…..don't try to trick me this time.

Osama: Brother, some jews believe in one god, so are they Muslims?

Saddam: oh, aaaaah, uuuuu. Ok, you've got me again.

Osama: You see, merely believing in one god is not Tauhid, but is known as "Wahdah".

Saddam: Wha Da?

Osama: "Whahdah"

Saddam: I see, so what's the definition of Tauhid then?

Osama Tauhid is to believe in the prophethood of the last Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and then to believe in the one God which he has informed us of.

Turkey Of The Month (November 2000)

Well you may be surprised at this months selection of the ‘turkey of the month’.

Well the leaders of the 56 Muslim countries did practically nothing in response to the brutal killing of over 200 Muslim children and teenagers, by the Israeli army, in the past few weeks.

The Muslim Ummah is a Nuclear power, it controls the oil supply to the world and it is the wealthiest.

The only thing it lacks is leaders with guts and responsibility, who put their trust in Allah, not in America. This is not surprising though, as the Muslim countries did nothing to stop the masacre of the kashmiri people by the indian army, over the past 50 years.

Just to sign declarations denouncing India and Israel.... disgraceful for a nuclear power. We would expect more from turkeys.

By The Revival Foreign Correspondent Team. A look back at the main events in the world over the last month or so… from a Muslim viewpoint for a change.

SYRIA: Hafiz al Assad passes away

Known as the ‘Lion’ of the Middle East (probably by his mate Clinton), Hafiz al Assad passed away rocking the peace process further and putting in doubt Israel’s eventual return of the Golan Heights. We hope that President Bashar follows the policy of being harsh on the Muslims enemies and soft on his people unlike his predecessors. But for some reason that isn’t gonna happen is it?

Man Of All Time!

There is no other man who has influenced life for all times. There is no other man who is a perfect role model for all humans for all times. There is no other man who has given rights to people of every society for all times.

So who is it then? Einstein, Darwin, Marx, Socrates, Newton, Plato, Freud… (who?).

OK, is it Jesus, Moses, Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Gandhi, Guru Nanak, Hari Krishna, Buddha, Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini, Stalin, Churchill, Martin Luther King, Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln…. Or even (God forbid) Ali G, Tu Pac, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Princess Diana, David Beckam or Pele?

If you think it’s any of the above then you’re either not sober(too many pints, if you know what I’m saying) or you simply don’t know your history.

Property of Allah

Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Mike Tyson, Chris Eubank, Niel Armstrong, Nicolas Anelka, Hakeem Olajuwon, Jemima Khan, Yusuf Islam… and the list is endless.

These are just some of the famous personalities who had all the money, power, luxuries, enjoyment and fame you could ever imagine but they only found real happiness and inner peace once they embraced Islam and gave up everything for the sake of their Creator.

Now you could be thinking whilst scratching your head and with your mouth wide open, what made these extremely rich and famous individuals embrace Islam?

Forget about Freddie Krueger and Nightmare on Elm Street, today we have the greatest nightmare that you could ever imagine facing us in the very near future.

No, its not that Man City might get promoted or that Pakistan keep on getting battered by Australia in cricket, or even Dr. Shipman escaping from prison or that Bill Clinton has found his other brain cell… .No…it’s much worse than that; it’s the biggest attack, the biggest threat and the biggest insult facing the Muslims in particular and humanity at large.

What is it then? It is what is called in the modern world as the abolishment of SECTION 28.

What's Goin on?

Chechnya: Slaughter of the Lambs

Media reports have proven that Russia has committed crimes against humanity. In a report by a British news group, a film was shot of Russian soldiers covering a mass grave. It has also been reported that all Chechan males fleeing Grozny aged between 16 and 60 were detained by Russian troops.

British Muslims supporting the Chechen Mujahideen pose a threat to Russia serious enough to warrant regular intelligence gathering on their activities, the Russian Ambassador to London claimed according to one British newspaper.

Who do you think has been a complete idiot over the last month or so?

Who’s insulted Islam and the Muslims? Who’s hit the headlines for the wrong reason? The Revival has nominated:

Vladimir Putin, Acting President of Russia.

A nutcase who’s only aim is to destroy Islam and the Muslims in Chechnya. He is responsible for the genocide, mass rape and torture of innocent Muslims.

Who d’you think deserves to be the ‘TURKEY OF THE MONTH’ ?

Editorial: Xmas or Ramadan?

Yes, it’s that time again when there are many special dishes on the table, loads of movies on the telly, the hype of the end of the year and a big celebration at the end of it all.... yep, it’s Ramadan slap-bang in the middle of the X-mas celebrations!

To make it worse, this year you’ve got the Millennium Madness Disease spreading everywhere.

This is the month when we’re supposed to be doing extra worship, becoming pious, wipe the slate clean and try to attain Taqwa, understand Islam properly and become a practising Muslim.

Well if you thought it was difficult last time round then by-heck have we got a hell of a challenge this year.

Here’s ten top sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad(saw) on the blessed month of Ramadan:

"Fast after sighting the moon and end the fast after sighting it and if it is cloudy then complete thirty days of Shaban." (Bukhari)

"Ramadan has come to you as a blessed month. During this month Allah has prescribed fasting for you, the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of hell are closed. The rebellious devils are chained. There is a night in this month that is better than a thousand months, whoever misses it is indeed deprived of enormous blessings." (Bukhari)
