Should the Qur’an Be Respected and Acknowledged As the Authority in/for the Lives of American Muslims?

WITH ALLAH’S NAME THE MERCIFUL BENEFACTOR, THE MERCIFUL REDEEMER

Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah,- whether he is slain or gets victory – Soon shall We give him a reward of great (value).  Qur’an An-Nisa 74

Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not. Qur’an Al-Baqara 216

THIS IS NOT ABOUT KHADIJAH SIDDEEQ-MOHAMMED THE INDIVIDUAL.

THE AMERICAN COURTS ARE BEING ASKED BY SHIRLEY MUHAMMAD TO DECIDE AND RULE ON:

IS ISLAM A LEGITIMATE RELIGION AND SHOULD THE QUR’AN BE RESPECTED AND ACKNOWLEDGED AS THE AUTHORITY IN/FOR THE LIVES OF AMERICAN MUSLIMS?

MARCH 4, 2009

Dear Muslims,

Believers in association with the late Honorable leader Imam W. D. Mohammed.

It is a sad day when a Muslim has to appeal to Muslims to send Zakat (Muslim charity) to help this Muslim pay a lawyer to defend Islam against an attack by (so-called) Muslims who are using Muslim donated money to go to court to dispute the VALIDITY of the revealed word of Allah in the Qur’an and attack the pristine reputation of the most Honorable Muslim we have ever known in these modern times, Imam W. D. Mohammed.

It pains me to have to write and ask for money to defend against this convoluted un-Islamic behavior but I must. Khadijah Siddeeq-Mohammed, the wife of our leader Imam W.D. Mohammed, in her commitment to DEFEND THE HONOR OF AL ISLAM, THE QUR’AN and her late husband IMAM W.D. MOHAMMED, HAS VOWED TO FIGHT THIS DISGRACEFUL ATTACK BEING LAUNCHED BY THE MUHAMMAD FAMILY, UPON THE QUR’AN AND IMAM MOHAMMED FOR AS LONG AS SHE LIVES IF IT BE ALLAH’S WILL

As I stated in our latest release on siddeeq.com, that Shirley Muhammad and her children, Wallace Jr., Laila and N’gina chose to reject an Islamic solution to how one should respect and handle an Islamic Marriage and an Islamic Divorce. They chose to take an Islamic community matter, that we could and should have sat down amongst the Muslims and resolved, they chose to take this matter before a civil court in Cook county (Chicago, Illinois) that has no commitment to or understanding of Islamic law and Qur’anic principles. These so called Muslim have rejected an Islamic solution and have chosen to go down town to the Chicago Probate Court seeking to resolve this Islamic community matter. Now bear in mind had we sat down and agreed amongst ourselves how we wanted this matter to be handled, then gone to the court as a united community this court would not have challenged or interfered with our Islamic community based decision. In fact, they would have been respectful and accommodating to our wishes. But because there exist those amongst us who do not believe in, want or trust an Islamic verdict on this matter they petitioned the Cook County Court system to do their desired dirty work for them so that they could pretend that the attack on our Islamic values was from the Courts and not them when in reality they are the true villains and enemies of Islam and not Judge Budzinski’s court.

This means that Khadijah, the wife of Imam Mohammed must–if she is to go forward in defense of the honor of Imam W. D. Mohammed, our Qur’an and Belief–have your financial support and help. Money is needed to hire a lawyer to represent her in this serious ISLAMIC COMMUNITY MATTER and you, brothers and sisters–THE FOUNDATION AND BACKBONE OF THE ISLAMIC COMMUNITY, THE ONES THAT IMAM MOHAMMED TRUSTED, RELIED AND DEPENDED ON–are the only ones that she can and will turn to for support and help during this serious attack upon Al Islam and our late leader Imam W. D. Mohammed.

You, the believers and supporters of this Islamic community, should know that Khadijah, since the death of her husband, Imam Mohammed, has not received one penny from the charities that believers are donating to the Mosque Cares, the Ansari Fund or any other charities that are being administered by Wallace Muhammad Jr. allegedly on behalf of the believing Muslims.

The only money that this young widowed wife has to live off of is charity given to her by her family, and the generous Muslims in the association of our late leader, Imam W.D. Mohammed and that amount, though greatly respected and appreciated, barely covers the necessary basic expenditures one must deal with in today’s world. She is actively pursuing employment and applying for jobs, but the promised pay is not enough to hire and retain an attorney and fight this legal battle.

Needless to say that those who refused to trust the Qur’an and the Muslim community to help resolve this problem have not hesitated to ask for and receive Muslim money from the donations put in the trust of Wallace Jr., by the Muslim believers and ironically, they are taking your Muslim charity to pay their lawyer TO PROVE THAT THE QUR’AN–THE REVEALED BOOK THAT THE TRUE MUSLIM BELIEVERS ALL OVER THE WORLD LOVE AND TRUST–SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED OR RESPECTED AS THE AUTHORITY OVER THE MUSLIMS’ AFFAIRS.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??? ARE THE MUSLIMS GOING TO STAND IDLY BY AND WATCH THIS BLATANT ATTACK UPON OUR FAITH?

Allah knows that we are grateful for those who have sent so much as a penny to help in this cause because it is one penny more than what we had. However, when you understand that this is not Khadijah’s personal fight. When you realize that every Muslim in America and around the world is at risk if an official court verdict discounting the worth and significance of Al-Islam and the divinely revealed word of Allah in the Qur’an is legally established as a legitimate precedent for how all Islamic life will be recognized in America based on the contention of Shirley Muhammad and her Children. When you realize that Shirley Muhammad is saying that Imam Mohammed was not honorably married and that his word was not true based on her refusal to acknowledge that she had an Islamic divorce and had agreed to honor it until she was convinced that she could get a big pay day by denying that fact. So this is a very serious and important challenge that we the Muslims are facing if we do not stand up and defend our Imam and our Qur’an. To even begin to meet this challenge, the one who is under attack in the cause of Al-Islam must first hire a lawyer and post a bond. The defense of this community in the civil courts of Chicago entails investing thousands of dollars and we cannot expect any one individual to be responsible to finance this community challenge, we must exert a collective community fund raising effort if we are to be successful.

Therefore, I am asking every Muslim who desires to support the wife of Imam W. Deen Mohammed, who must defend the imam’s honor and noble example that he lived by and never strayed from against this terrible attack upon our Muslim community by these shameless people. I’m asking you to stand up and be counted as sincere faithful Muslims. I am asking you to trust and follow Imam Mohammed’s virtuous model insisting that we must give our lives to the Qur’an and support any and all Muslims facing a most serious public attack upon and challenge to Al-Islam, the Qur’an and the legacy of any decent, righteous and honorable believer in G-d. This is how we follow Imam W. Deen Mohammed in deeds and not in empty rhetorical slogans.

This challenge starts on March 9, 2009 at 10:00 am in Judge Budzinski’s probate court room, 1803, Daley Center in Chicago, Illinois. Your donations are needed until the final decision is rendered and all expenses created by this effort have been properly attended to by our collective community effort.

As-Salaamu-Alaikum
Thank you for your support

With Allah’s Name, The Merciful Benefactor, The Merciful Redeemer

O ye who believe! Take your precautions, and either go forth in parties or go forth all together.

There are certainly among you men who would tarry behind: If a
misfortune befalls you, they say: “Allah did favour us in that we were
not present among them.”

But if good fortune comes to you from Allah, they would be sure to say
- as if there had never been Ties of affection between you and them -
“Oh! I wish I had been with them; a fine thing should I then have made
of it!”

Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world
for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah,- whether
he is slain or gets victory – Soon shall We give him a reward of great
(value).

And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who,
being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?- Men, women, and children,
whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are
oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise
for us from thee one who will help!”

Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject
Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of
Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.

Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were told to hold back
their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in
regular charity? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to
them, behold! a section of them feared men as – or even more than -
they should have feared Allah: They said: “Our Lord! Why hast Thou
ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us respite to our (natural)
term, near (enough)?” Say: “Short is the enjoyment of this world: the
Hereafter is the best for those who do right: Never will ye be dealt
with unjustly in the very least!

“Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are in towers
built up strong and high!” If some good befalls them, they say, “This
is from Allah”; but if evil, they say, “This is from thee” (O Prophet).
Say: “All things are from Allah.” But what hath come to these people,
that they fail to understand a single fact?  

Qur’an An-Nisa 71-78
