Isn't it time for us to commit to the straight path and stay away from the crooked lines?!

News:

Holding the sixth parliamentary elections after 2003, on November 11, 2025.

Comment:

With all the media hype that usually accompanies elections, and with the political actions carried out by the powerful and statements and oppositions aimed at covering up the reality of such elections in Muslim countries, including Iraq, and in light of a constitution and systems that do not implement God’s law and do not make it the judge in their affairs, it is necessary to place the straight line next to the crooked lines, so that the truth becomes clear from falsehood, the lawful from the forbidden, and the good from the bad. God Almighty said: ﴿And, [moreover], this is my path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from His way. This has He instructed you that you may become righteous.﴾.

Knowing the Sharia ruling requires verifying its predicate, and its predicate here is electing members of the House of Representatives, the nature of the Council’s work and its powers, and then applying the Sharia ruling to it.

In a democratic system, the House of Representatives performs tasks and functions, most notably: enacting legislation, granting confidence to the government, holding it accountable, approving the general budget, swearing to uphold the man-made constitution, ratifying agreements and treaties, and electing the head of state.

As for the reality of elections in Sharia, it is an authorization and representation in the matter for which the election is being held. Accordingly, the Sharia ruling on elections takes the ruling of agency. If you are authorized to do a lawful act, the agency is lawful, and if you are authorized to do a forbidden act, the agency is forbidden.

As for legislation, it is an act that a Muslim is not permitted to practice, neither by legislating nor by voting on legislation by negation or affirmation, even if this legislation agrees with the rule of Islam; the credibility and reference of the legislation is that it has evidence from Sharia, whether the people agree to it or not. Legislation belongs to God Almighty alone, and no one has the right to share God Almighty in it. God Almighty said: ﴿The decision is only for Allah﴾.

As for granting confidence to a secular government that does not rule according to what God has revealed, it is not permissible for a Muslim, just as it is not permissible for him to ratify agreements and treaties that are based on the laws of disbelief, let alone agreements that give the disbeliever a way over the country and the people. God Almighty says: ﴿And never will Allah give the disbelievers over the believers a way [to overcome them].﴾.

As for swearing to uphold the constitution and loyalty to the nation, the constitution is a man-made law that it is forbidden to resort to, and loyalty is only to God, so how can a representative swear by God, by the Book of God, to disobey God and resort to other than His law?!

As for the issue of accountability, there is no doubt that it is an important and necessary requirement, and it is one of the acts of enjoining good and forbidding evil, which is an obligation, but is accountability in the House of Representatives based on Islam or on the basis of the constitution and man-made laws?

As for approving the budget, it is invalid for everyone with eyes, as the budget is based on taxes and usurious loans in line with the capitalist economy.

After this statement, it becomes clear that these elections are held according to a man-made constitution that contradicts Islam, so they become forbidden, and they are false testimony aimed at reinforcing the idea that change is impossible, portrayed by the ignorant, the cowardly, or the scholars of the rulers, and they have other goals.

But change is within the power of the Islamic nation if it relies on God Almighty and adheres to the method of His Messenger ﷺ, then joins hands with the sincere, and they are many, praise be to God. We invite you to this good, and God is behind the intention.

The Gaza Ceasefire is a Cover for Preparing a New Reality with Blood and Rubble

The Gaza Ceasefire is a Cover for Preparing a New Reality with Blood and Rubble

News:

An Al Jazeera investigation based on satellite image analysis revealed patterns of systematic destruction carried out by the occupation in Gaza between October 10th and 30th.

The "Sanad" news verification agency of the Al Jazeera network monitored the demolitions, engineering destruction, and heavy aerial bombardment carried out by the occupation inside the sector since the implementation of the ceasefire agreement. (Al Jazeera Net)

Comment:

After the announcement of the mined war ceasefire on the Gaza Strip, sponsored by Trump and in agreement with some Arab countries, it was clear that it was concluded in favor of the Jewish entity. This is evidenced by satellite image analysis and recent news reports, indicating that the Jewish army demolished thousands of buildings in Gaza, especially in Shuja'iyya and Khan Yunis in the areas under its control, as well as Rafah and the areas east of it, which witnessed extensive bulldozing operations.

The comprehensive destruction in Gaza is not random but carries far-reaching strategic goals, such as destroying the environment that incubates the resistance. Emptying Gaza of its infrastructure, schools, and housing makes it difficult for the resistance to reorganize itself or rebuild its capabilities. This is a long-term deterrent achieved by destroying capabilities and imposing a new reality that exhausts Gaza and leaves it economically paralyzed and uninhabitable, paving the way for accepting any political or security solutions, or even the idea of displacement. Because leaving Gaza in ruins makes it difficult for its people to rebuild it alone, countries and organizations will intervene with political conditions, and the occupation realizes that whoever rebuilds has the decision-making power. Today's destruction is for political control tomorrow!

In fact, describing the Gaza war ceasefire agreement as "mined" was not in vain, because it was partial and excluded alleged military targets, allowing the Jews to continue raids and destruction under security pretexts. It was also concluded by the largest supporter of the entity without strong international guarantees, making it fragile and susceptible to violation, especially in the absence of international accountability, which makes the Jewish entity above accountability.

How long will we remain a submissive, subservient, and watching nation over a weakened, exhausted, lost, and starved people?! And above all, permissible at all times?! Let us all be Saladin Al-Ayyubi, for Gaza today reminds the nation that Saladin was not just a brave individual, but a leader in a state that carries a project, owns an army, and has a united nation behind it. Therefore, the call to be Saladin does not mean individual heroism, but rather working to establish a state that makes all the sons of the nation soldiers in one rank under one banner.

Allah Almighty said: ﴿And what is [the matter] with you that you do not fight in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children﴾.

News:

Yemen Sanaa TV broadcast the humanitarian program "My Homeland" on Wednesday evening, 11/12/2025. In the segment "We are with you," the program presented the case of a woman who contracted a rare disease and needs to travel to India at a cost of $80,000. $70,000 was collected from charities and benefactors, but the program presenter spent a long time praising the last donor of ten thousand dollars, which turned out to be Abdul Malik al-Houthi, and praised his repeated role in supporting the humanitarian cases that appear on the program.

Commentary:

In Islam, the ruler has a great responsibility, which is to take care of the people's affairs by spending on what benefits them and providing everything that gives them comfort. He is originally a servant to them and cannot enjoy life until he is reassured about their conditions. This task is not a favor or a concession, but rather a legal duty that Islam has obligated him to, and he is considered negligent if he neglects it. Islam has obligated the nation to hold him accountable for negligence. Peace and blessings be upon him, he said: "The Imam is a shepherd and he is responsible for his flock." Therefore, it is superficial to rejoice when rulers or the state pay attention to some needs and call that humanitarian work, when it is originally a mandatory pastoral work.

One of the most dangerous concepts that capitalism and its rule have established in the world is the state's disavowal of care and leaving the care of people to charitable institutions and associations run by individuals or groups, to which people often turn to help them and meet their needs. The idea of ​​associations first appeared in Europe during the World Wars, when many families lost their breadwinners and became in need of a sponsor, and the state, according to the capitalist democratic system, is not a caretaker of affairs, but rather a protector of freedoms only. The rich feared the revolution of the poor against them, so they established these associations.

Islam has made the existence of the Sultan obligatory to take care of the affairs of the nation, to preserve its legitimate rights, and to meet its six basic needs that must be satisfied for individuals and the community. Food, clothing and housing must be provided by the state to all members of the flock, individual by individual, Muslims and non-Muslims, and security, medical care and education are provided by the state free of charge to everyone. A man came to the Caliph of Muslims, Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, with his wife and his six daughters, and said: (O Omar, these are my six daughters and their mother, feed them, clothe them, and be for them a shield against time) Omar said: (What if I don't do that?!) The Bedouin said: (I will leave) Omar said: (What if you leave?) He said: (You will be asked about their condition on the Day of Resurrection, standing before God, either to hell or to paradise) Omar said: (This nation will not be lost as long as there are people like these in it).

O Muslims: This is not imagination, but rather Islam, which made care an obligation on the Caliph of the Muslims for every individual in the flock. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "The Imam is a shepherd and he is responsible for his flock." Therefore, we must restore these rulings and make them applicable. God Almighty said: ﴿Indeed, God will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.﴾ What will change our condition to justice and prosperity is Islam.
