Quality of praying.

Other quality of praying is that a Islamic is sapient to bed upraised himself and his position in the eyes of God. When the diviner Muhammad (s.a.w) was communicated with, prayers were the uncomparable object that God asked him to fit.  If someone does not fulfil all the prayers, then the intact bike of individual is undeveloped. If a leader does not pray at all, he is impeccable as rich as a non-believer. It was reportable by Swayer that the Muhammad (s.a.w) said, "Verily, between man and between polytheism and disbelief is the carelessness of orison." "What has caused you to foreclose Roguishness?" they faculty say: "We were not of those who utilized to plight their prayers.

Quran must be known to all Muslims.

Vindicatory as the conception of foretelling ended on our beatified religionist Muhammad (PBUH), the idea of revelations ended with the magnificent Qur'an. This Volume was transmitted as a downright source of control and knowledge for all of mankind and for them to help from it. Thing by serving the verses came doctor as a content for a convinced measure point and a item condition rife in the society. Not exclusive was it meant for the grouping of that era but for every living feeling then, now and in the ulterior to read and clench the show of our lord.

The place Quran is a thanks on the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). A variety of the revelations that preceded it, the Quran has answers to all the questions that become in our deal. It has the secernment of beingness the most widely memorized production in the uncastrated reality. The meanings are in such a complex and exquisite faculty that no earth-born beingness can agree its highly inspired level.

The Quran and Sunnah of Muhammad (PBUH) are the supposition of a skilled and spaciotemporal mode. Undeniably, the act of indication, reciting and perceiving verses of the play-script is a exploit of high benefit and orison. Our beloved diviner (PBUH) has mentioned its standing individual nowadays:

Scapegoating a Muslim peer?

Muhammad Abdul Bari

Media and political pressure has been piling on Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, the Conservative Party co-chairman and minister-without-portfolio in the coalition government. Unpopular with the Tory Right, the guns have turned on her following the Conservative Party’s dismal electoral performance in last month’s local elections.

Lady Warsi is already being investigated by a parliamentary watchdog over reports she claimed accommodation allowance while staying with a friend rent-free. She has referred the allegations to Lords Commissioner for Standards Paul Kernaghan, but in the meantime is facing calls to quit cabinet. There is barely a week that goes by without someone, usually a Tory, calling for her head. The Labour Party has seized upon her plight and called for her to step down.

In the latest twist, Lady Warsi was alleged by a Sunday Telegraph article to have failed to declare that she and her business partner Abid Hussain, who was on a ministerial trip to Pakistan in 2010, had stakes in the same business firm. Lady Warsi has apologised to the prime minister for any “embarrassment to the government”. David Cameron spared no time to ask his independent adviser on ministerial interests to look into the case and ordered an inquiry into her foreign trip.

Fading star?

Lady Warsi is the UK’s most senior minority-ethnic politician. She was initially seen as a shining light in the Conservative Party, long-struggling to recruit from the black and minority ethnic (BME) communities. Is she going to be a scapegoat for the sliding unpopularity of the Conservative Party? Will Lady Warsi, the first Muslim woman to be a Cabinet minister, survive this political storm? Will David Cameron cave in to her powerful detractors?

These questions are not only being asked in the Westminster village, but in the minds of many across the BME communities. Some are asking whether there is something more sinister in this campaign to oust her. Her departure will be a loss to British politics, argues Simon Woolley of Operation Black Vote. Many, even her political opponents, are wary of the nature of attacks on her.

Lady Warsi is not a political maverick. She is sharp, charismatic and she speaks her mind. As such, she has brought a distinctive appeal to the Conservative Party, traditionally viewed as led by a white middle (or upper) class elite. As co-chairman of the party and with the wide-ranging government job of minister-without-portfolio, she has brought a breath of fresh air into frontline politics. She arrived at her first cabinet meeting in May 2010 dressed in a pink-and-gold shalwar qameez, distinct in look and dress.

But it appears she has made many enemies in the right-wing media and political spheres, after wading into the muddied waters of race and religion. In a wide-ranging interview with Mehdi Hasan in The New Statesman in October 2010 Baroness Warsi said: “If you have a pop at the British Muslim community in the media, then first of all it will sell a few papers; second, it doesn’t really matter; and third, it’s fair game.” She then added: “If you go back historically - [and] I was looking at some Evening Standard headlines, where there were things written about the British Jewish community less than 100 years ago - they have kind of replaced one with the other.”

Representing the Muslim community?

In a later speech at Leicester University in January 2011 she said that prejudice against Muslims had “passed the dinner-table test” and become socially acceptable in the UK. Peter Oborne, the Daily Telegraph’s chief political commentator, supported her saying that hatred of Muslims was one of the last bastions of British bigotry. Muslim individuals and groups which were known as beacons of moderation in modern Britain are now seen as “non-violent extremists”, thanks to a political shift in the UK which has seen neo-conservatives enter the ranks of government. There are many rumours about the battles that have taken place within the Coalition, regarding policy towards Muslims and British Muslim organisations. The Leveson Inquiry was told about this negative portrayal of Muslims in media last January. One wonders if Baroness Warsi has now herself fallen foul of these same powers.

Warsi is a politician, of course. She has not always been popular among some in the Muslim community. Recently she spoke out strongly about the Pakistani community. She has worked with Pakistan’s Ministry of Law on a project to fight forced marriage. Being a Muslim, she vehemently defends Christian values for Britain. Has this proved too much for the Tory hierarchy, or the right-wingers who are reportedly biting at their leader David Cameron’s heels right now?

Some are already comparing the prime minister’s over-enthusiasm in initiating an inquiry on Lady Warsi to his disinterest in doing the same on with his Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt and his over-close connections to the Murdoch family. Does this mean the first Muslim woman to sit in the Cabinet lacks friends among the Conservative high command, in a way Jeremy Hunt does not?

Whatever Lady Warsi is, or was, we need more Muslims represented in our political processes. With hundreds of local councillors and now quite a few parliamentarians in both houses of parliament, Muslims’ growing presence in politics is indeed encouraging - despite a continuous negative media portrayal on anything linked with Islam and Muslims, from halal slaughter, to forced marriage and sexual grooming. In his powerful article on halal hysteria last month, political commentator Mehdi Hasan said that the British “debate” about meat, animal cruelty and ritual slaughter has become “a proxy for deep fears about Muslims in our midst”.

Politics, the noble profession to serve people, has sadly become too short-termist at the expense of principles and values in our time. It has turned out to be a profession of the privileged who have failed to stand up for people, especially for white working class and BME communities. In the absence of a level playing field many people, particularly the youth, are apathetic about our democratic processes. The Warsi debacle is just another sign that politicians are getting it wrong when it comes to Muslims in the political sphere.

Myth of the drone war ‘successes’

PATRICK COCKBURN

As the US and its allies ponder what to do about Syria, one suggestion advanced by the protagonists of armed intervention is to use unmanned drones to attack Syrian government targets. The proposal is a measure of the extraordinary success of the White House, CIA and Defence Department in selling the drone as a wonder weapon despite all the evidence to the contrary.

The attraction of the drone for President Obama and his administration five months before the presidential election is self-evident. The revelation that he personally selected targets from the top ranks of al-Qaeda for assassination by remote control shows the president as tough and unrelenting in destroying America’s enemies. The programme is popular at home because the cost appears not to be large and, most importantly, there are no American casualties. The media uncritically buys into claims of the weapon’s effectiveness, conveniently diverting voters’ attention from the US army’s failure to defeat puny opponents in two vastly expensive campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Republicans cried foul, alleging that the administration is selectively leaking highly classified secrets to portray Obama as a man of decision untroubled by liberal qualms in the Defence of his country. The White House expressed itself deeply shocked by such a claim of political opportunism, and last week the US Attorney General, Eric Holder, appointed two lawyers to track down the leakers, though without giving them special powers to do so.

Almost unquestioned in all this is the utility of the drone strikes and whether they really are the wonder weapon they are claimed to be. After all, air forces have been over-selling precision bombing as a way of winning wars on the cheap since Lord Trenchard ran the RAF in the 1920s. Politicians of all nations have been attracted by new war-winning armaments or commando-type organisations. Examples include Churchill in the Second World War and President Kennedy, who favoured the Green Beret special units and helicopter-borne forces in Vietnam. The media has traditionally gobbled up and publicised tales of magically effective arms or the derring-do of elite detachments, often ignoring their lack of long-term military success.

The most striking but understated feature of the drone strikes in the northwest frontier districts of Pakistan is that they could not take place without the co-operation of the Pakistani Army. Some government co-operation is essential in Yemen, too, though less so than in Pakistan because of the weakness of the Yemeni state.

The problem is that high-precision weapons still need ground-based intelligence to identify targets. The difficulty for those guiding the drones from command posts far away has not changed much since “precision bombing” in the Second World War or the far more accurate missile strikes in Iraq in 1991 and 2003. Large, immovable facilities or power stations are easy to identify; individuals are not. In 2003, President Bush brought forward the start of the bombing and missile strikes because US intelligence believed it knew the exact location of Saddam Hussein in south Baghdad. This was destroyed by missiles, but research after the war showed that Saddam had never been near the place.

Up-to-the minute intelligence about who is in what house, and when they are there, requires a network of local agents who can communicate their information immediately.

Of course, an assassination target might be stupid enough to give away his or her position by using a mobile, satellite phone or some other form of electronic communication. But few insurgent groups today are likely to give away their position so easily.

It means allowing the US to kill or capture members of al-Qaeda in Pakistan, successes that have important electoral benefits for any administration in Washington. At times, Pakistan may look to the US to eliminate a troublesome member of the Pakistan Taliban such as its leader, Baitullah Mehsud, who over-reached himself in the eyes of the authorities and was killed by a drone strike in 2009. Over the years, the White House or the CIA has been able to claim successes, such as the elimination of the second in command of al-Qaeda or the killing of most top al-Qaeda commanders, as if Bin Laden’s old organisation were the same size as the Pentagon.

What we have not seen is the effective use of US drones against the Afghan Taliban and its allies. It is here that the Afghan Taliban’s leadership is based, and its ability to retreat into Pakistan has ensured the US military failure in Afghanistan, just as it ensured the Soviet Union’s inability to wipe out the insurgents fighting its forces in the 1980s.

The lack of good US intelligence on the Afghan Taliban leadership is striking. How else, as happened a few hears ago, would a shopkeeper from Quetta be able to extract a large sum of money and pose as a Taliban leader in peace negotiations in Kabul?

Unmanned drone strikes are all about American domestic politics rather than about the countries where they are used. They cater to illusions of power, giving Americans a sense that their technical prowess is unparalleled, despite the Pentagon’s inability to counter improvised explosive devices, which are no more than old-fashioned mines laid in or beside roads. The drones have even been presented as being more humanitarian than other forms of warfare, simply by claiming that any dead males of military age killed in a strike must have been enemy combatants.

The downside to these exaggerated successes is that the White House and the US security agencies believe more of their own propaganda than is good for them. Ramshackle insurgent movements in Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen are not like regular armies, in which the elimination of officers or senior cadres might be a crippling blow to the organization. Just as important, in the long term, assassination campaigns do not win wars, and they create as many enemies as they destroy.                –Counterpunch

Israel stripped nearly 250,000 Palestinians of residency

JERUSALEM  - Israel revoked the residency of nearly 250,000 Palestinians between 1967 and 1994, according to Israeli military figures obtained by a human rights group and shown to AFP on Tuesday.

A letter sent to Israeli NGO HaMoked shows Israel stripped the residency of more than 100,000 people living in Gaza and about 140,000 people living in the West Bank after it occupied the Palestinian territories in 1967. Palestinians lost their residency for various reasons, including tens of thousands for failing to respond to a census.

Others saw their residency revoked after travelling overseas for a number of years and failing to periodically renew their permits.

But rights groups say the renewal process was never explained to many Palestinians who travelled abroad to study or work only to discover they had missed the renewal deadline and therefore lost their residency. And the total number affected by the revocations is believed to be higher than the official figure because entire families were sometimes forced to leave their homes after one member had their residency revoked. Ido Blum, head of HaMoked's legal team, said the policy, which was in force for 27 years until the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1994, was a violation of international law. "It is a clear violation of law for the occupying force to reduce the local population by revoking their residency rights, especially through an administrative procedure," he said.

The policy did not take into account whether the individual affected had residency or nationality elsewhere, and likely left some Palestinians stateless, he said. In 1994, when the Palestinian Authority took administrative control of parts of the West Bank and Gaza under the Oslo agreement, some Palestinians were allowed to return.

Israeli figures show about 12,000 Palestinians were able to get their residency reinstated, but others have long since died without having their residency restored.

While the policy of revoking residency no longer applies to the West Bank and Gaza, it is still implemented in east Jerusalem.

Palestinians unable to provide documents including utility bills or school enrolment forms indicating Jerusalem is their "centre of life" risk losing their permit to stay in the Holy City.

Meanwhile, Israel's mass round-up of mainly African immigrants passed the 200 mark on Tuesday and immigration authorities said that 43 people had agreed to be voluntarily repatriated.

A statement from the Population and Migration Authority said on Tuesday, "66 illegal residents - most of them South Sudanese - were arrested. In addition, another 43 signed a request to leave the country of their own volition."

Immigration officials had earlier put the number arrested on Tuesday morning at 73.

Authority spokeswoman Sabine Haddad told AFP later that some of the 43 volunteers came to immigration offices spontaneously and some were visited in their homes but none who signed were taken into custody.

The 66 who were detained joined 140 people arrested on Sunday and Monday in a series of raids aimed at rounding up and deporting illegal immigrants.

On Sunday, raids saw police round up some 25 immigrants, around a third of them from South Sudan, and the campaign gathered speed on Monday, when 115 people were arrested, many of them in the Red Sea town of Eilat, close to where they crossed into Israel from Egypt.

Those who agree to leave Israel voluntarily will receive free airline tickets and a grant of 1,000 euros ($1,250), but the offer is "only on the table for one week," Haddad said.

Official figures show there are 60,000 Africans living in Israel illegally, most of whom live in run-down neighbourhoods of south Tel Aviv. Interior Minister Eli Yishai estimates that another 6,000 or so may have slipped into the country undetected.

Around a quarter of the total are living in Eilat, where an AFP correspondent saw immigration police stopping African passers-by and asking for identification.

"For the time being, I feel good. I'm not sure they can find anything on us," said 32-year-old Anthony Christiano from South Sudan.

"I don't blame them (the immigration police) - it's the state that wants us out," he told AFP.

Nearby, native-born resident Yusef Khuri sat at a small table gathering signatures to urge the authorities to rid the city of its African immigrants, flanked by posters reading: "Free conquered Eilat."

"They have wrecked our country and have taken over every aspect of our lives," he spat. "They are border jumpers, they should be shot."

Last week, an Israeli court decided that the lives of an estimated 1,500 South Sudanese were no longer at risk in their homeland, clearing the way for their mass expulsion.

It was not immediately clear when the deportations would begin, although a report in Israel's Maariv newspaper suggested that the first flight would leave for Juba, the capital of South Sudan, on Sunday.

The interior minister, who has frequently tried to expel non-Jewish immigrants, sparking accusations of racism, on Tuesday said the raids were "just the beginning."

"At the moment we are permitted only to deport citizens of South Sudan and the Ivory Coast," Yishai wrote in the Israel HaYom newspaper.

"The next stage is the removal from Israel of all the infiltrators from Eritrea and Sudan."

Allowing them to stay would mean "the end of the Zionist dream," he warned.

Rising tensions over the growing number of illegal immigrants entering Israel exploded into violence last month when a protest in south Tel Aviv turned nasty. Demonstrators smashed African-run shops and property, chanting "Blacks out!"

Israel, which reportedly backed South Sudan through its 1983-2005 war with Khartoum, recognised the new nation and established full diplomatic relations with its government shortly after it declared independence in July last year.

The Jewish state does not have relations with Sudan, which it has accused of serving as a base for militants.
