குறட்டையை தடுக்க வழிகள் Chennai புதன்கிழமை, ஜனவரி 26, 12:58 PM IST மதிப்பீடு இல்லை

இமெயில் பிரதி

நாம் உறங்கியபின், நம் சுவாசக்குழாயில் உள்ள தசைகள் சற்றே சாவகாசமாக வேலை செய்ய ஆரம்பிக்கும். இந்த நேரத்தில் நம் தொண்டையானது சுருங்கத் தொடங்கும். சுருங்கும் தொண்டைவழியாக செல்லும் காற்றுக்கு இப்போது உள்சென்று வெளியேற போதிய இடம் இல்லை.

ஆக சுருங்கிய தொண்டை வழியாக செல்லும் காற்றானது அழுத்தத்துக்குட்படுகிறது. அழுத்தம் நிறைந்த காற்று தொண்டையின் பின்புற தசைகளை அதிரச் செய்கின்றன.

இந்த அதிர்வைத் தான் நாம் குறட்டை என்கிறோம் என்கிறார் சென்னை பூந்தமல்லி நெடுஞ்சாலையில் உள்ள கே.கே.ஆர்.காதுமூக்கு தொண்டை மருத்துவமனை இயக்குனர் டாக்டர் ரவிராமலிங்கம். அவர் கூறியதாவது:-

காரணங்கள்:

நாம் தூங்கும் போது தலைக்கு வைத்து கொள்ளும் தலையணையை மிகவும் பெரிதாக உயரமாக வைத்துக் கொள்வதால் ஏற்படும். சில வகையான ஒவ்வாமை காரணமாக சுவாசக் குழாயில் ஏற்படும் சளி, சிலருக்கு உடல் பருமன் காரணமாகவும் குறட்டை ஏற்படுகிறது.

முழு தூக்கம் இருக்காது:

யாராவது குறட்டை விட்டு தூங்கினால் அவனுக்கென்ன நிம்மதியாக தூங்குகிறான் என பலர் நினைப்பதுண்டு. ஆனால் அது தவறு. குறட்டை விடுபவர் நன்றாக தூங்க முடியாது என்பதுடன் பல பாதிப்பு நிலைக்கும் தள்ளப்படும் நிலையும் வரலாம். குறட்டை விடுபவர் மனம் தெளிவாக இருக்காது.

உடல் மிகவும் களைப்பாக இருக்கும் உடலில் சக்தி குறைவாக இருக்கும். தெளிவற்ற சிந்தனை வரும். அதிகமாக கோபம் வரும். இதுமட்டுமின்றி உடலுக்கு போதிய அளவு பிராணவாயு கிடைக்காது. இதனால் ரத்த அழுத்தம், சர்க்கரை நோய், இருதய நோய் பக்கவாதம் போன்ற நோய் ஏற்பட வாய்ப்பு இருக்கிறது.

அத்தோடு மிக தீவிரமாக குறட்டை விடுபவர்கள் உறக்கத்திலேயே இறந்து விடும் வாய்ப்பும் அதிகம் உள்ளது. அதனால் இவற்றை தடுக்க நடவடிக்கை எடுக்க வேண்டும்.

தவிர்க்க வேண்டியவை:

சுவாசப் பாதையில் தேவையின்றி சதை வளர்ந்தால் சீராக காற்று போக வழியின்றி குறட்டை ஏற்படலாம். எனவே சதை வளராமல் இருக்க உடல் எடையில் கவனம் வேண்டும். பக்க வாட்டில் படுக்க வேண்டும். 4 அங்குல உயரத்திற்கு மேல் தலையணை வைத்து தூங்க கூடாது.

சாப்பிட்ட உடன் படுக்க போக கூடாது. புகை பிடிக்க கூடாது. அளவுக்கு அதிகமான மருந்துகள் சாப்பிடக் கூடாது. மருந்து அருந்த கூடாது. அத்தோடு இதனால் பாதிக்கப்படுபவர்கள் தொண்டை மூக்கு, காது நிபுணரை அணுகி ஆலோசனைகளை பெற்றுக் கொள்ள வேண்டும்.

3 வகை நோயாளிகள்:

குறட்டையின் தீவிரத்தன்மையைப் பொறுத்து நோயாளிகளை 3 குழுக்களாக வகைப்படுத்தலாம்.

1. மெல்லிய குறட்டை- அடுத்திருக்கும் அறையில் ஒலியைக் கேட்க முடியும். மூச்செடுப்பதில் சிரமம் இல்லை.

2. உயரமான குறட்டை- கதவு மூடி இருந்தாலும் கூட அடுத்துள்ள அறையில் ஒலியைக் கேட்கலாம்.

3. உறங்கும் போது மூச்சுத் திணறுதல், நேரத்துக்கு நேரம், மூச்சு 10 வினாடிகளுக்கு மேலாக நிறுத்தப்படும்.

மாரடைப்பு அபாயம்:

7 மணி நேர நித்திரையின் போது 30 முறை மூச்சு திணறல் ஏற்பட்டால் இது ஆபத்தானதாக இருக்கலாம். பெருமூச்செடுத்த வண்ணம், நேரத்துக்கு நேரம் நோயாளி தூக்கம் கலையலாம்.

ரத்தத்தில் காணப்படும் குறைவான செறிவுடைய ஆக்சிஜன் இதயம், சுவாசப்பை மற்றும் மூளையை பாதிக்கலாம். ரத்த அழுத்தம் உயர்வடைவதால், மாரடைப்பு ஏற்படும்.

கட்டிலில் மரணம் கூட ஏற்படலாம். இந்த நோயாளிகள் பகலில் கூட நித்திரைத் தன்மையை, சோம்பேறித்தனத்தை உணர்வார்கள். டாக்டர் தூக்க வரலாற்றை சோதிக்கும் போது, இந்த பிரச்சினை பற்றி கூடுதலாக அறிந்த நோயாள ரின் துணையும் இருக்க வேண்டும்.

ஆபத்தான நோய்:

டான்சில் வீக்கம், அடினாய்டு பிரச்சினைகள் ஏற்படும் போதோ சளி பிடிக்கும் போதோ குறட்டை சத்தம் ஏற்படலாம். இந்தப் பிரச்சினைகளால் ஏற்படும் அடைப்பு நீங்கியவுடன், குறட்டை சத்தமும் நின்று விடும். அதிக உடல் எடை கொண்ட குழந்தைகள் மற்றும் இள வயதினருக்கு குறட்டை ஏற்படுகிறது.

கழுத்தைச் சுற்றி அளவுக்கு அதிகமான தசை வளர்வதால், சதை அடைப்பு உருவாகி, குறட்டை ஏற்படுகிறது. ஆபத்தான மருத்துவக் கோளாறாக இது கருதப்படுகிறது. ஆபத்தான, தூக்கத் தடை ஏற்படுத்தும் நோயாக இது கருதப் படுகிறது.

ஆழ்ந்த தூக்க நிலைக்குச் செல்லும் போது கண்கள் வேகமாக அசையும், அந்த நேரத்தில் நம் மூச்சுக் காற்றும் வேகமாக உள் சென்று வெளியேறும். இதற்கு `அப்ஸ்ட்ரக்டிவ் ஸ்லீப் அப்னியே' என்று பெயர். அந்த நேரத்தில் குறட்டையும் அதிகரிக்கும். ஒரு நேரத்திற்கு 18-க்கும் மேற்பட்ட முறை நம் கண்கள் வேகமாக அசைந்து, மூச்சுக் காற்றும் வேகமாக உள் சென்று வெளிவருகிறது.

குறட்டை விடும் போது திடீரென நின்று திடீரென அதிகரிக்கும் சுவாசத்தால் நம் உடலில் ரத்த அழுத்தம் அதிகரித்து இதய அடைப்பு திடீர் மரணம் ஆகியவை ஏற்படலாம்.

இந்தியாவில் அதிகம் பேர் பாதிப்பு:

இந்தியர்களில் பெரும்பாலோர் இந்த நோயால் பாதிக்கப் பட்டுள்ளனர். இதனால் திடீர் மரணம் ஏற்படும் வாய்ப்பு அதிகரிக்கிறது. நம் வாழ்க்கை முறை மாறி விட்டதால், இந்த நிலை ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது.

குறட்டை ஏற்படுவதற்கான காரணத்தை அறிந்து `ஸ்லீப் அப்னியே' நோய் உருவாகி உள்ளதா என்பதைக் கண்டுபிடிக்க தமிழகத்தின் பெரிய நகரங்களில் மருத்துவமனைகள் உள்ளன.

உங்கள் தூக்க முறையை வைத்து, உங்களுக்கு நோய் உள்ளதாப என்பதை அவர்கள் கண்டறிந்து விடுவர். காரணத்தைக் கண்டறிந்து விட்டால், 30 சதவீதத்தினர் நோயைக் குணப்படுத் திக்கொள்ளலாம். டான்சில் அடினாய்டு, மூக்கினுள் வீக்கம் போன்ற பிரச்னைகளை அறுவை சிகிச்சை மூலம் சரி செய்து கொள்ளலாம்.

குறட்டையை குறைக்க:

ஆக்சிஜனை உடலில் தேவையான இடத்திற்கு எடுத்து செல் லும் வகையில் புதிய கருவிகள் தற்போது கிடைக்கின்றன. அறையில் உள்ள ஆக்சிஜனை உள்ளிழுத்து நம் மூக்கின் வழியே உடலுக்குச் செலுத்தும் இவற்றை வீட்டிலும் வைத்துக் கொள்ளலாம்.

குறட்டையைக் குறைக்க மேலும் சில கருவிகள் விளம்பரப் படுத்தப்படுகின்றன. விசேஷ தலையணை, கழுத்துப் பட்டைகள், நாக்கை அழுத்திப் பிடிக்கும் கருவிகள் என பல வகைகள் உள்ளன. குறட்டை விடுபவரை, ஒரு பக்கத்திலிருந்து இன்னொரு பக்கத்திற்கு திருப்பி படுக்க வைத்தாலே குறட்டை ஒலி குறையும்.

ஸ்பைரோ மீட்டர் கருவியால் மூச்சுப் பயிற்சி செய்தல், பலூன் ஊதுதல், புல்லாங்குழல் ஊதுதல், ஆகியவற்றில் ஏதேனும் ஒன்றை தினமும் 30 நிமிடம் மேற்கொண்டால் குறட்டை குறைகிறது என்பது ஆய்வில் கண்டறிந்த உண்மை.

யோகாவில் உள்ள மூச்சுப் பயிற்சியும் மிகச் சிறந்தது. தினமும் 45 நிமிடம் யோகா, மூச்சுப் பயிற்சியுடன் கூடிய நடை பயிற்சி போன்ற பழக்கங்களை, சிறு வயது முதலே கடைபிடிக்க வேண்டும். இதனால் இளவயது பருமனைக் குறைக்கலாம். திடீர் மரணத்தையும் தவிர்க்கலாம்.

சிகிச்சை முறை:

குறட்டை பிரச்சினையை அறுவை சிகிச்சை மூலம் குணப் படுத்தலாம். எல்.ஏ.யு.பி. என்னும் லேசர் சிகிச்சை மூலம் குறட்டையைக் குறைக்க முடியும். குறட்டைக்கு முதல் சிகிச்சை உடல் எடையை குறைப்பதுதான்.

அடுத்து காற்றுச் செல்லும் பாதையிலுள்ள அடைப்பு அதிகமாக இருந்தால் மூக்கு, உள்நாக்கு, தொண்டை போன்ற பகுதிகளை பரிசோதித்து அடைப்புள்ள இடத்தைக் கண்டறிந்து லேசர் கிச்சையின் மூலம் அடைப்பை சரி செய்யலாம்.

முற்றிய நிலையிலிருக்கும் நோயாளிக்கு ஆபரேஷன் செய்தாலும் சரியான தீர்வளிக்காது என்பதால் சிறிகிறி என்கிற மாஸ்க்கை ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் தூக்கத்தின்போதும் அணிந்துகொள்ளத் தருகிறோம். அதை அவர்கள் அணிவதால், அந்த மாஸ்க்கிலுள்ள ஆக்சிஜன் அடைப்புள்ள இடத்தில் வேகமாக அழுத்தம் கொடுத்து அடைப்பை விலக்கி, காற்று நன்கு செல்ல உதவுகிறது.

இதனால் அவர்கள் குறட்டை பிரச்சினையில்லாமல் ஆழமான தூக்கத்தை அனுபவிக்க முடிகிறது. காற்றடைப்பை கண்டறிய மருத்துவ மனையில் நவீனமான சிலிப்லேப் என்கிற முழுதும் கம்ப்ïட்டர் மயமாக்கப்பட்ட தூங்கும் அறையுள்ளது. நோயாளியை அந்த அறைக்குள்ளே ஒரு இரவு முழுவதும் தூங்க விடவேண்டும்.

அவரது உடலில் ஒன்பது இடங்களில் கம்ப்யூட்டரோடு இணைக்கப்பட்ட கேபிள்கள் பொருத்தப்படும். அது அன்று இரவு முழுவதும் அவர் தூங்குவது, குறட்டை விடுவது எத்தனை முறை விழிப்பு வந்து புரண்டு படுத்தார், எந்தப் பக்கமாக படுக்கும்போது குறட்டைகளின் தன்மை எப்படியிருந்தது.

ரத்த அழுத்தம், இதயத்துடிப்பு, மூளைக்கும், மார்புக்கும் காற்று சென்று வந்த நிலை, அடைப்பு எங்கேயிருக்கிறது என்பதை துல்லியமாகக் கண்டறிந்து விடலாம் என்கிறார் டாக்டர் ரவிராமலிங்கம்.

விடுதலை வேங்கை - A Revolutionary Guard for Freedom Fight

அஸ்ஃபக்குல்லாஹ் கான்

பிறந்தது ஷாஜஹான்பூர் - உத்திரபிரதேச மாநிலம்

இளமையிலேயே சுதந்திர தாகம் எடுத்தது அவருக்கு, அது அவரை ஒரு நல்ல கவிஞராகவும் ஆக்கிற்று.

அவரது பள்ளிப்பருவத்தில் மகாத்மா காந்தியால் ஆரம்பிக்கப் பட்ட ஒத்துழையாமை இயக்கம் முடிவுக்கு வர அதனால் அதிருப்திக்குள்ளான இளைஞர்களில் அஸ்ஃப்பக்குல்லாஹ் கானும் ஒருவர்.

இந்தியாவிற்கு வெகு சீக்கிரம் சுதந்திரம் வரவேண்டும் என்றால் அது புரட்சியின் மூலம்தான் நடக்கும் என நம்பி அதற்கான களம் காண இறங்குகிறார்.

அவரையொத்த விடுதலை வேங்கைகள் கிடைத்தனர் அவருக்கு.

அஸ்ஃபக்குல்லாஹ் கான் மற்றும் பண்டிட் இராம் பிராசாத் பிஸ்மில் ஆகியோர் இணைந்து மற்ற புரட்சிக்காரர்கள் ஒன்றினைக்கப் படுகின்றனர்.

மெதுவான பேச்சுவார்த்தைகள் ஒன்றும் வேலைக்கு ஆகாது, ஆங்கிலேயே ஏகாதிபத்தியத்தை குலை நடுங்க வைக்கவேண்டுமானால் மிகப்பெரிய தாக்குதல் நடத்தப்படவேண்டும். அதற்கு தங்களுக்கு வெடிகுண்டு, துப்பாக்கிகள் இன்ன பிற சாதனங்கள் வேண்டும், அவற்றை வாங்க பெரிய அளவு பணம் வேண்டும்.

பொது மக்களிடம் பணம் வாங்க முற்பட்டு அது நாளடைவில் குறைய பிறகு ஆங்கிலேய அரசு கருவூல பணத்தை கொள்ளை அடிக்க முடிவெடுக்கின்றனர் புரட்சிக் காரர்கள்.

ஆகஸ்ட் 9, 1925 முடிவு செய்தாகி விட்டது.

லக்னோவிற்கு அருகில் உள்ள கோரக்பூரில் வைத்து இரயிலில் ஏற்ற வரும் கருவூல பணத்தை கொள்ளை அடிப்பதென.

அதற்கான திட்டமும், நபர்களும் உறுதி செய்யப்பட.

வெற்றிகரமாக நடந்து முடிந்தது கொள்ளை ஆனால் ஆங்கிலேயர்களால் செப்டம்பர் 25, 1925 அனைவரும் பிடிபடுகின்றனர் அஸ்ஃபபக்குல்லாஹ் கானை தவிர, அவர் பிஹாருக்கு தப்புகிறார்.

சுதந்திர போரை மேற்கொண்டு முன்னிருத்த வெளிநாடு சென்று பொறியியல் கற்று பணமும் சேர்த்துவர எண்ணுகிறார் அதற்காக டில்லி செல்கிறார் அங்கு வைத்து கைது செய்யப்படுகிறார்.

சிறை வைக்கப்படுகிறார்

சிறையில் காவல்துறை அதிகாரி இந்து - முஸ்லீம் என்று மத ரீதியாக அவரை பிரித்தாள சூழ்ச்சி செய்கிறார். காவல் துறை அதிகாரியால் அனுப்பபட்டவனிடம் அஸ்ஃப்பக்குல்லாஹ் கான் சொல்கிறார் “ஆங்கிலேயர் ஆளும் இந்தியாவை விட இந்துக்கள் ஆளும் இந்தியா எவ்வளவோ மேல்” என்கிறார்.

அஸ்ஃப்பக்குல்லாஹ் கானுடன் மற்ற அனைவரையும் சேத்து கோரக்பூர் சம்பவம் கோர்டுக்கு வருகிறது
1) அஸ்ஃப்பக்குல்லாஹ் கான்
2) இராம் பிராசாத் பிஸ்மில்
3) இராஜேந்திர லாஹிரி
4) தன்கூர் ரோஷன் சிங்
ஆகிய நால்வருக்கு தூக்கு தண்டனை விதிக்கப்படுகிறது மற்றவர்களுக்கு ஆயுள் தண்டனை வழங்கப்படுகிறது ஆங்கிலேயே அரசால்.

சிறையில் இரண்டு வெள்ளைகார போலீஸ் அதிகாரிகள் அஸ்ஃப்பக்குல்லாஹ் கான் அடைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் அறையை கண்காணிக்க அப்பொழுது அவர் தொழுது கொண்டிருக்கிறார், அவர்கள் இருவரும் பேசிக் கொள்கின்றனர் “ இந்த எலியை நாளை தூக்கில் போடும் வரை எவ்வளவு பக்தி மீதமிருக்கிறது என்பதை நான் பார்க்க ஆவலுடன் இருக்கிறேன்” என்று.

திங்கள் டிசம்பர் 19, 1927 அஸ்ஃப்பக்குல்லாஹ் கான் தூக்கு மேடை ஏறுகிறார்.

கயிற்றை முத்தமிடுகிறார், பிறகு சொல்கிறார்.

“என் கை கறை படிந்தது அல்ல இவர்களை கொன்றதனால், இவர்கள் எனக்கு இன்று அநீதி இழைக்கலாம் நாளை இறைவன் எனக்கு நீதி வழங்குவான்” ,

“இறைவன் ஒருவனே அவனது தூதராக முஹம்மத் அவர்களை ஏற்கிறேன்” என்கிறார்.

தூக்கு கயிறு இருக்குகிறது,

இந்தியா ஒரு சுதந்திர வேங்கையும், சுதந்திரவானில் மின்னும் நட்சத்திரத்தையும் இழக்கிறது.

இளைஞர்கள் தங்கள் உயிரின் மதிப்பை உணர்ந்துக்கொள்ள வேண்டும்

-டாக்டர் யூசுஃப் அல் கர்தாவி!!!

ஜன.24:துனீசியாவில் முஹம்மது பொவைஸி என்ற இளைஞரின் தற்கொலையால் மக்கள் புரட்சி ஏற்பட்டு அந்நாட்டின் சர்வாதிகாரி பின் அலி நாட்டைவிட்டு வெளியேறினார்.

இந்நிலையில் துனீசியாவை பின்பற்றி எகிப்து, அல்ஜீரியா, மவுரிடானியா ஆகிய நாடுகளில் வேலைவாய்ப்பின்மை மற்றும் பட்டினி காரணமாக இளைஞர்கள் தற்கொலை முயற்சியை மேற்கொண்டனர்.

இந்நிலையில் தங்களது உயிரை தாமே பறித்துக்கொள்வது இஸ்லாத்திற்கு விரோதமானது என்பதை அறிவுத்தும்விதமாக சர்வதேச இஸ்லாமிய அறிஞர்கள் கூட்டமைப்பின் தலைவரான பிரபல சிந்தனையாளர் டாக்டர் யூசுஃப் அல் கர்தாவி விடுத்துள்ள அறிக்கையில், முஸ்லிம் அரபு இளைஞர்கள் தங்கள் உயிரைப் பாதுகாத்துக் கொள்ளவேண்டும். தீக்குளித்து தற்கொலைச் செய்வது நீங்கள் செய்யவேண்டிய வேலை அல்ல.

எகிப்து, அல்ஜீரியா, மவுரிடானியா போன்ற நாடுகளில் முஸ்லிம் இளைஞர்கள் தங்களை தாங்களே தீவைத்துக் கொளுத்துவது வெறுப்பை ஏற்படுத்துகிறது. எதிர்காலத்தை பற்றிய கவனக் குறைவுதான் இதற்கு காரணம்.

அல்லாஹ்வின் அருளில் எவரும் நம்பிக்கை இழந்துவிடக் கூடாது.
"அல்லாஹ்வின் அருளில் நம்பிக்கை இழக்காதீர்கள்! (ஏக இறைவனை) மறுக்கும் கூட்டத்தைத் தவிர வேறு எவரும் அல்லாஹ்வின் அருளில் நம்பிக்கை இழக்க மாட்டார்கள்".(திருக்குர்ஆன் 12:87)

ஆதலால் ஒவ்வொரு கஷ்டத்திற்கு பிறகு நிச்சயமாக நிம்மதி கிடைக்கும். இரவுக்கு பின்னர்தான் விடியலே ஏற்படுகிறது. இவ்விஷயத்தில் நாம் விழிப்புடன் இருக்கவேண்டும்.

எனதருமை இளைஞர்களே உங்கள் உயிர்களைக் குறித்து கவனமாக இருந்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள். அது அல்லாஹ்வின் மிகப்பெரும் எல்லை. உங்களை நீங்களே தீவைத்துக் கொளுத்தாதீர்கள். நீங்கள் பொறுமையாக இருங்கள், சகித்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள், நிலை குலையாமல் இருங்கள். நாளை விரைவில் வரும். இஸ்லாம் அடக்குமுறைக்கும், கொடுங்கோன்மைக்கும் எதிராக போராட கூறுகிறது. அதற்கு தற்கொலை தேவையில்லை. இவ்வாறு கர்தாவி கூறியுள்ளார்.

Some useful info.

Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks .

The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed.

It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

C ommon Symptoms Of Heart Attack...

A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting .

Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line .

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.

Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.

Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

Read this & Send to a friend. It could save a life.

So , please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.

20, MS SHOES SCAM (1994) :- Anyone who war old enough in 1994 to read will remember the advertisements- tens of them intriguingly headlined: 'Who is Pawan Sachdeva?' For the record, it was the peak of the public issued-led advertising boom and the ads were created by the Delhi branch of Rediffusion. Sachdeva, the promoter of MS Shoes, allegedly used company funds to buy shares (of his own company) and rig prices, prior to a public issue. He is alleged to have colluded with officials in the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and SBI Caps, which lead-managed the issue, to dupe the public into investing in his Rs. 699-crore public-***-rights issue. Sachdeva was later acquitted

21, JMM Bribes (1995) :- Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Shailendra Mahato testified that he and three party members received bribes of Rs 30 lakh to bail out the P.V. Narasimha Rao government in the 1993 no-confidence motion.

22, In a Pickle (1996) :- Pickle baron Lakhubhai Pathak raised a stink when he accused former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao and godman Chandraswami of accepting a bribe of Rs 10 lakh from him for securing a paper pulp contract.

23, Telecom Scam (1996) :- Former minister of state for communication Sukh Ram was accused of causing a loss of Rs 1.6 crore to the exchequer by favouring a Hyderabad- based private firm in the purchase of telecom equipment. He, along with two others, was convicted in 2002.

24, Fodder Scam (1996) :- The accountant general's concerns about the withdrawal of excess funds by Bihar's animal husbandry department unveiled a Rs 950-crore scam involving Lalu Prasad Yadav, then the state chief minister. He resigned a year later.

25, Urea Deal (1996) :- C.S. Ramakrishnan, MD, National Fertiliser, and a group of businessmen close to the P.V. Narasimha Rao regime fleeced the government and took Rs 133 crore from the import of two lakh tonne of urea, which was never delivered.

26, Hawala Diaries (1996) :- The scandal surfaced following CBI raids on hawala operators in Delhi in 1991. But it was S.K. Jain's diaries that had heads rolling.

27, CRB SCAM (1997) :- Another scam forged by greed and discovered through accident. Chain Roop Bhansali, a smart-talking entrepreneur, created a pyramid financial empire based on high-cost financing. At its peak, his Rs. 1,000-crore financial conglomerate had in its ranks a mutual fund, a financial services company into fixed deposits, and a merchant bank. That Bhansali knew how to work the system became evident when he also managed to secure a provisional banking license. Then his luck ran out. An executive in the State Bank of India Inadvertently discovered that some interest warrants issued by Bhansali were not backed by cash. The bubble finally burst in May 1997, but by that time investors had lost over Rs. 1,000 crore. This was among the first retail scams in India and it was played out, in smaller avatars, across the country-especially in the South where financial services companies promised returns in excess of 20 per cent and decamped with the principal. Bhansali was arrested for a few weeks and released later on bail.

28, MEHTA'S SECOND COMING (1998) :- The Big Bull returned to the bourses. This time, he allegedly colluded with the promoters of BPL, Videocon International, and Sterile Industries to rig the share prices of these companies. The inevitable collapse happened sooner than planned, Harshad Mehta orchestrated a cover-up operation that included a high=jinks effort by officials of Bombay Stock Exchange to (illegally ) open the trading system in the middle of the night to set things right, but the damage had been done. SEBI finally passed its ruling on the scam in 2001, banning the three companies concerned from tapping the market-BPL, for two years. Mehta was debarred for life form dealing in Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) in October 2001

29, VANISHING COMPANIES SCAM (1998) :- A passing remark heard by then Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram resulted in a furore over what was badly-kept secret on Dalal street. Chidambaram was told that hundreds of companies had disappeared after raising moneys form the public. An informal scrutiny revealed that perhaps over 600 companies were missing. Chidambaram ordered a probe by SEBI. The SEBI probe conducted in May 1998 revealed that while many companies are not traded on the bourses at least 80 companies that had rises Rs.330.78 crore were simply missing. Later that year, the Department of Company Affairs (DCA) was asked to probe and penalize these companies. DCA still investigating. Investigations continue to this day.

30, PLANTATION COMPANIES SCAM (1999) :- It was as innovative a swindle as any effected in the world. Savvy entrepreneurs convinced gullible investors that given the right irrigation and fertilizer inputs, teak, strawberries, and anything else that could be grown, would grow anywhere in the country. The promoters could afford to collect money from investors and not worry about retribution (or returns, for that matter). For, plantation companies fell under the purview of neither SEBI nor Reserve Bank of India. Indeed, they didn't even come under the scope of the Department decided to change things in 1999, enough investors had been gulled: 653 companies, between them, had raised Rs. 2,563 crore from investors. To date, not many investors have got their principals back, just another affirmation of the old saying about money not growing on trees.

31, Match Fixing (2000) :- Mohammed Azharuddin, till then India's cricket captain, was accused of match-fixing. He and Ajay Sharma were banned from playing, while Ajay Jadeja and Manoj Prabhakar were suspended for five years.

32, KETAN PAREKH SCAM (2001) :- Ketan Parekh's modus operandi wasn't very different from Harshad Mehta's. If Mehta used banker's receipts, then Parekh used pay orders to ramp up the prices of his favourite scrips (the K-10). Apart from money form the banking system Parekh also rerouted money from corporated like HFCL (Rs. 425 crore), and Zee (Rs. 340 crore) to good effect. He was caught when pay-orders issued by Madhavpura Mercantile Cooperative Bank bounced. Although the total amount involved in the scam was just Rs. 137 crore, the impact was far greater.

Apparently, when a bear cartel sensed Parekh was in trouble, it stepped in and leveraged a dip in the NASDAQ to bear down stock prices. The resultant slump in the markets happened soon after Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha presented what he considered his best budget ever. Under pressure from the government, SEBI investigated the scam and heads began to roll. Among them: the entire management team of BSE, including its president Anand Rathi, CSFB, First Global, and, in an indirect connection, P.S.Subramanyam, the Chairman of UTL Evidently, for the 18 months that PSS was Chairman of UTI, the Trust had mirrored the actions of the bull cartel. The result? When the market tanked, so did the NAV of its holy cow, the US-64.

33, Tehelka Sting (2001) :- Tehelka, an online news portal, used spycams to catch army officers and politicians accepting bribes, in their sting operation called Operation Westend. Investigative journalism turned another corner in the country.

34, Stockmarket Scam (2001) :- The mayhem that wiped off over Rs 1,15,000 crore in the markets in March 2001 was masterminded by the Pentafour bull Ketan Parekh. He was arrested in December 2002 and banned from acccessing the capital market for 14 years.

35, Home Trade Scam (2002) :- Under the pretext of gilt trading, Rs 600 crore was swindled from over 25 cooperative banks in Maharashtra and Gujarat by a Navi Mumbai-based brokerage firm Home Trade. Sanjay Agarwal, CEO of the firm, was arrested in May 2002.

36, Stamp Paper Scam (2003) :- The sheer magnitude of the racket was shocking-it caused a loss of Rs 30,000 crore to the exchequer. Disclosures of the mastermind behind it, Abdul Karim Telgi, implicated top police officers and bureaucrats.

37, Oil-for-Food Scandal (2005) :- K. Natwar Singh was unceremoniously dropped from the Cabinet when his name surfaced in the Volcker Report on the Iraq oil-for-food scam.

What India Could Do With Rs 73 Lakh Crore?

Build: 2.4 crore primary healthcare centres. That’s at least 3 for every village, at a cost of Rs 30 lakh each.

Build: 24.1 lakh Kendriya Vidyalayas at a cost of Rs 3.02 crore each, with two sections from Class VI to XII.

Construct: 14.6 crore low-cost houses assuming a cost of Rs 5 lakh a unit.
Set up: 2,703 coal-based power plants of 600 MW each. Each costs Rs 2,700 crore.

Supply: 12 lakh CFL bulbs. That’s enough light for each of India’s 6 lakh villages

Construct: 14.6 lakh km of two-lane highways. That’s a road around India’s perimeter 97 times over.

Clean up: 50 major rivers for the next 121 years, at Rs 1,200 crore a river every year.

Launch: 90 NREGA-style schemes, each worth roughly Rs 81,111 crore.
Announce: 121 more loan waiver schemes. All of them worth Rs 60,000 crore.

Give: Rs 56,000 to every Indian. Even better, give Rs 1.82 lakh to 40 crore Indians living BPL.

Hand out: 60.8 crore Tata Nanos to 60.8 crore people. Or four times as many laptops.

Grow the GDP: The scam money is 27% more than our GDP of Rs 53 lakh crore."

Greed, graft, politics, bribery, dirty money. Just another day in the life of a nation still rated among the most corrupt in the world. Scan the scams that have grabbed headlines, destroyed reputations and left many people poorer.

காவல்துறை உருவாக்கும் ஐ.எஸ்.ஐ ஏஜண்ட்: ஏழை முஸ்லிம் (ஹனீஃப்)ன் சோகக்கதை!!!

புதுடெல்லி,ஜன.15:எவ்வித ஆதாரமும் இல்லை, நீதிமன்றத்திலும் நிரூபிக்கமுடியவில்லை ஆனால் அஸ்ஸாம் போலீசாரால் முஹம்மது ஹனீஃப் பாகிஸ்தானின் உளவு அமைப்பான ஐ.எஸ்.ஐயின் ஏஜண்டாகவே கருதப்படுகிறார்.

போலீசாரால் பொய்யான வழக்கு ஜோடிக்கப்பட்டு எளிதாக பலிகடா ஆக்கப்பட்டுள்ளார் ஹனீஃப். ஏழ்மையில் வாடும், எதுவும் செய்யவியலாத, பலகீனமான மனிதரான ஹனீஃப் எப்படி போலீசாரால் ஐ.எஸ்.ஐ ஏஜண்டாக மாற்றப்பட்டார்?

இது இந்திய காவல்துறை மற்றும் உளவுத்துறையை பொறுத்தவரை சிக்கலான கேள்வியே அல்ல.

ஹனீஃப் தனது உறவினர்களை காண்பதற்காக பாகிஸ்தானுக்கு ஒருமுறை சென்றுள்ளார். மேலும் அவர் ஒரு இந்திய முஸ்லிம். இதை விட என்ன ஆதாரம் வேண்டும் நமது உளவுத்துறைக்கு.

ஹனீஃபின் சோகக்கதை
ஹனீஃப் மீது தீவிரவாதி என முத்திரைக்குத்தி பொய்யான வழக்கில் சிக்கவைத்தனர். தொடர் சித்திரவதைகளுக்கு ஆளாக்கப்பட்டார். ஆனால், அவரோ, தன் மீது தொடுக்கப்பட்ட வழக்கிற்கு வாதாட ஒரு வழக்கறிஞரை நியமிக்கக்கூட பணம் இல்லாத ஒரு ஏழை.

உத்தரபிரதேச மாநிலம நொய்டா மாவட்டத்தில் ஜேவார் என்ற ஊரைச் சார்ந்த பாபுகானின் மகன்தான் முஹம்மது ஹனீஃப். அவருக்கிருந்த கொஞ்ச நஞ்ச நிம்மதியும் கடந்த 2005 ஆம் ஆண்டு ஜூலை மாதம் 13-ஆம் தேதி இரவோடு முடிவுக்கு வந்தது. அன்றிரவு உ.பி. மாநில போலீசாரால் திடீரென கைதுச் செய்யப்பட்ட முஹம்மது ஹனீஃப் ஒரு வாரம் முழுவதும் சித்திரவதைக்கு ஆளாக்கப்பட்டார்.

ஹனீஃப் கைதுச் செய்யப்பட்டதற்கு கூறப்பட்ட காரணம் அவர் ஒரு ஐ.எஸ்.ஐ ஏஜண்ட். அஸ்ஸாம் மாநில டிஸ்பூரில் ராணுவ முகாமிலிருந்து ஹனீஃப் முக்கியமான ஆவணங்களை களவாடி டெல்லியில் செயல்படும் பாகிஸ்தானைச் சார்ந்த உளவுத்துறை அதிகாரிகளிடம் ஒப்படைத்தாராம்.

ஹனீஃப் தனக்கு இழைக்கப்பட்ட அநீதியையும், அக்கிரமத்தையும் twocircles.net என்ற இணையதள பத்திரிகை நிரூபரிடம் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

சட்டத்திற்கு புறம்பாக கைதுச் செய்யப்பட்ட ஹனீஃப் போலீசாரால் ஒரு வாரம் முழுவதும் கடுமையான சித்திரவதைக்கு ஆளாக்கப்பட்டுள்ளார். மூன்றாம் தர சித்திரவதை(third degree torture) என அழைக்கப்படும் கர்ணக்கொடூரமான சித்திரவதைகளும் அதில் அடங்கும்.

"எனது கால்களில் இப்பொழுதும் அந்த வேதனையை அனுபவிக்கிறேன். அவர்கள் என்னை மிருகங்களைப்போல் சித்திரவதைச் செய்தார்கள்"-ஹனீஃப் கூறுகிறார்.

கடுமையான சித்திரவதைகளுக்கு பிறகு ஒரு தினம் மூத்த அதிகாரியொருவர் ஹனீஃபிடம் விசாரணை நடத்தியுள்ளார். பின்னர், தனது கீழ் அதிகாரிகளிடம் ஹனீஃபைக் குறித்து, "இவர் நாம் தேடும் நபரல்ல. இவரை விட்டுவிடுங்கள்" எனக் கூறிச் சென்றுள்ளார். ஆனால், போலீசார் ஹனீஃபை விடுவதாக இல்லை.

அவரிடம், "நீ சில பணக்கார முஸ்லிம்களின் பெயரைச் சொல். அவர்களிடம் உங்களை தீவிரவாதிகள் எனக்கூறி உள்ளேத் தள்ளிவிடுவோம் என மிரட்டி பணத்தை கறக்கலாம்" என கூறியுள்ளனர். ஆனால், ஏழையான ஹனீஃப், "எனக்கு எந்த பணக்கார முஸ்லிம்களின் பெயரும் தெரியாது. தெரிந்தாலும், அவர்கள் மீது பழிபோடுவது தவறு" எனக் கூறி மறுத்துள்ளார்.

ஹனீஃப் மறுத்ததால் அவர் மீது கோபங்கொண்ட அதிகாரிகள் இவரை வழக்கில் குற்றவாளியாக சேர்த்துள்ளனர். இவ்வழக்கு அஸ்ஸாம் மாநிலத்துடன் தொடர்புடையதாகும். இவ்வழக்கில் முக்கிய குற்றவாளியாக சேர்க்கப்பட்டவர் அஸ்ஸாம் மாநிலம் திஸ்பூர் ராணுவ முகாமில் பணியாற்றியவராவார். அவருடைய பெயரும் ஹனீஃப்தான். பின்னர் ஆறு மாதங்களாக ஹனீஃப் அஸ்ஸாம் சிறையிலும், டெல்லியின் திகார் சிறையிலும் அலைக்கழிக்கப்பட்டார்.

ஆறுமாதம் கழித்து அதாவது 2005-ஆம் ஆண்டு நவம்பர் மாதம் பெருந்தொகையை ஜாமீன் தொகையாக கொடுத்து விடுதலையானார் அவர்.

வறுமையும் வேதனையும்
சிறையிலிருந்து வெளியான ஹனீஃப் ஒரு சோதனையிலிருந்து விடுபட்டு மற்றொரு சோதனைக்கு ஆட்படுத்தப்பட்டார். இதுநாள் வரை உடல்ரீதியான சித்திரவதைகளை சிறையில் அனுபவித்தவர், விடுதலையான பிறகு மனோரீதியான சித்திரவதைக்கு ஆளாக்கப்பட்டார்.

ஹனீஃபின் விடுதலைக்காக அவருடைய தந்தை வசித்த வீட்டை விற்றுத்தான் பணத்தை திரட்டியுள்ளார். இதனால் ஹனீஃபின் குடும்பம் வீதிக்கு வந்தது. வசிப்பதற்கு வீட்டை வாடகைக்கு அளிக்க எவரும் தயாரில்லை. காரணம், சமூகத்தில் ஹனீஃப் ஒரு தீவிரவாதியாகவே பார்க்கப்பட்டார்.

மற்றொரு புறம் வறுமையும் ஹனீஃபையும் அவருடைய குடும்பத்தினரையும் வாட்டியது.

twocircles இணையதள நிரூபர்கள் ஹனீஃபை காணச் சென்றபொழுது ஒரு சிறிய அறையில் வசித்துவந்தார் அவர். அதில்தான் அவரும் அவருடைய மனைவி ஃபரீதாவும், 3 மகள்களும் மிகுந்த சிரமத்திற்கிடையே வசித்து வருகின்றனர்.

தான் தீவிரவாத வழக்கில் கைதுச் செய்யப்பட்டவர் என தெரிந்தால் இந்த வீட்டின் உரிமையாளர் உடனடியாக தன்னை வெளியேற்றி விடுவாரோ என்ற அச்சத்தில் ஹனீஃப் உள்ளார். காரணம் இதற்கு முன்னர் இவ்வாறு நான்கு வீடுகளிலிருந்து ஹனீஃப் மற்றும் அவரது குடும்பத்தினர் உரிமையாளர்களால் வெளியேற்றப்பட்டுள்ளனர்.

சட்ட மற்றும் பொருளாதார உதவியை எதிர்பார்க்கும் ஹனீஃப்
தற்போதைய சூழலில் ஹனீஃப் வழக்கில் ஆஜராக அஸ்ஸாம் மாநிலத்திற்கு செல்வதற்கு பொருளாதார உதவியையும், சட்ட உதவியையும் எதிர்பார்த்து உள்ளார். அவருக்காக வாதாடிய வழக்கறிஞர், கட்டணமாக ஹனீஃபிடம் 500 ரூபாய்கூட இல்லை எனத் தெரிந்த பிறகு வழக்கில் வாதாடுவதிலிருந்து வாபஸ் பெற்றுவிட்டார்.

மனித நேயங்கொண்ட வழக்கறிஞரான கோடோகி, ஹனீஃபின் வழக்கு விபரங்களை பார்த்துவிட்டு, ’ஹனீஃபின் மீது தொடுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் வழக்கு மிகவும் பலவீனமானது. இதில் அவருக்கெதிராக எவ்வித ஆதாரமும் இல்லை. ஹனீஃப் அஸ்ஸாம் மாநில உயர்நீதிமன்ற வழக்கறிஞருக்கு வழக்கை வேகமாக முடிக்க கடிதம் எழுதவேண்டும்’ என தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

கடந்த 5 ஆண்டுகளாக நீளும் இவ்வழக்கில் பொருளாதாரத்தில் மிகவும் பின் தங்கியுள்ள ஹனீஃப் மாதந்தோறும் வழக்கிற்காக அஸ்ஸாம் செல்வதற்கே ரூ.2 ஆயிரத்திலிருந்து 3 ஆயிரம் வரை குறைந்தபட்சம் செலவாகிறது என பரிதாபத்துடன் தெரிவிக்கிறார்.

இது வரை நீதிக்கிடைக்காத ஹனீஃப் வாய்தாவுக்கு மேல் வாய்தா என இழுத்தடிக்கப்பட்டு சில மாதங்களில் 2 முறை அஸ்ஸாமுக்கு செல்ல நேர்ந்துள்ளதாக கூறுகிறார். இதில் சுவராஸ்யமான சம்பவம் என்னவெனில், இவ்வழக்கில் குற்றஞ்சாட்டப்பட்ட 8 பேர்களில் 4 பேர் கீழ் நீதிமன்றங்களில் லஞ்சத்தைக் கொடுத்து வழக்கிலிருந்து நிரபராதி என தீர்ப்பை பெற்றதாக கூறுகிறார் அப்பாவியான ஹனீஃப்.

தனது நிற்கதியான சூழலால் மன அழுத்தத்திற்கு ஆளான ஹனீஃப் முன்பு ஒருமுறை தற்கொலைக்கு முயன்றதாக அவருடைய மனைவி ஃபரீதா கூறுகிறார். இவ்வழக்கினால் தங்களது வாழ்க்கையே இன்னலுக்கு ஆளானதாக கூறும் ஃபரீதா, கட்டணம் கட்டுவதற்கு பணமில்லாததால் தங்களது 3 மகள்களையும் பள்ளிக்கூடத்திற்கு கூட அனுப்ப இயலவில்லை என வருத்தத்துடன் தெரிவிக்கிறார்.

"அம்மா நாங்க எப்பம்மா ஸ்கூலுக்கு போவோம்?" சிமிட்டும் விழிகளுடன் ஹனீஃபின் மகள் சிறுமியான ஃபாத்திமா கேட்கிறார். அவரை அவநம்பிக்கையுடன் கூடிய வெறித்த கண்களுடன் நோக்குகிறார் ஹனீஃப்.

இவ்வழக்குப் பற்றி உச்சநீதிமன்றத்தின் மூத்த வழக்கறிஞரான பிரசாந்த் பூஷன் கூறுகையில், "இது புதிதானது அல்ல. இதுபோல் ஏழையான, எதுவும் செய்யவியலாத, நிரபராதிகளான நூற்றுக்கணககான முஸ்லிம்கள் பல ஆண்டுகளாக விசாரணையே இல்லாமல் பொய்வழக்குகளில் சிக்கவைக்கப்பட்டு சிறையில் வாடுகின்றனர். இதற்கு காரணம், இந்தியாவின் போலீஸ் துறையும், உளவுத்துறையும் வகுப்புவாத மயமாக்கப்பட்டதுதான். இதற்கு ஒரே வழி, உயர் மட்டக்கமிட்டி ஒன்று நியமிக்கப்பட்டு, இவ்வழக்குகளை பரிசீலித்து போலியாக சுமத்தப்பட்டுள்ள தீவிரவாத வழக்குகளை தள்ளுபடிச் செய்யவேண்டும். மேலும், தீவிரவாதிகள் எனக்கூறி கைதுச் செய்யப்படும் நபர்கள் நிரபராதிகள் என தெரிந்தால், சம்பந்தப்பட்ட போலீஸ் அதிகாரிகளை சட்டரீதியாக தண்டிக்க வேண்டும்." எனத் தெரிவித்தார்.

L A H I Q A (81)

In short, Din (religion) means the system of rules revealed by Allahu ta'ala to Prophets in order to teach the beliefs, behavior, words and attitudes liked by Allahu ta'ala, worships to be performed, and ways of attaining happiness in this world and in the Hereafter. Illusions and imaginary stories fabricated by the imperfect human mind are not called Din. Mind is useful in learning and obeying the religious commandments and prohibitions. Yet it cannot grasp the mysteries, the ultimate divine causes in the commandments and prohibitions. Nor can it reason on them. Such occult facts can be learned if Allahu ta'ala intimates them to Prophets or inspires and reveals them to the hearts of Awliya. And this, in its turn, is a blessing that can be bestowed only by Allahu ta'ala.

Now, attaining happiness in this world and the next and deserving love of Allahu ta'ala requires being a Muslim. A non-Muslim is called Kafir (disbeliever, unbeliever). And being a Muslim, in its turn, requires having iman and worshipping. Worshipping means adapting oneself completely to the Shariat of Muhammad 'alaihis-salam', both in words and in actions. The prescribed worships must be performed only because they are the commandments of Allahu ta'ala and without expecting any worldly advantages from doing them. The Shariat means the canon [commandments and prohibitions] taught in the Qur'an al-karim and explained through hadith ash-Sharifs, and can be learned from what we term books of fiqh, or ilmihal. It is Fard-i-ayn for everyone, men and women alike, to learn the Shariat, that is, the religious principles incumbent (to do or not to do) for every individual Muslim. These principles are remedies protecting men against spiritual and physical diseases. Learning medicine, arts, trade or law would take one years in a high school and then years in a university. By the same token, learning the books of ilmihal and the Arabic language requires studying for a number of years. People who do not learn these things will easily fall for the lies and slanders fabricated by British spies and by mercenary, hypocritical, and so-called religious men and treacherous statesmen misled by British spies, and will consequently end up in a disastrous and afflictive destination in this world and in the Hereafter.

Expressing and believing in the (Kalima-i-shahadat) is called Iman. A person who expresses the Kalima-i- shahadat and believes the facts purported by this word is called a Mumin (believer). The Kalima-i-shahadat is "Ashhadu an la ilaha ill-allah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluh." It means: "There is no ilah (being to be worshipped) except Allah; and Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' is His born servant and His Messenger whom He has sent to (guide) all humanity." No Prophet shall come after him. It is stated as follows in the Tahtawi footnotes, at the end of the subject dealing with how to perform the daily prayers of namaz one has somehow missed or omitted, in the book Maraq-il-falah, "Islam is not only believing that Allahu ta'ala exists. Those disbelievers who attribute partners to Him believe in His existence, too. For being a Mumin (believer) it is necessary to believe that He exists, that He has attributes of perfection such as being One, being Alive, Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Will, that He sees and hears all, and that there is no creator except Him." To believe that Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' is the (Messenger=Prophet) means to believe that all his teachings were dictated to him by Allahu ta'ala. Allahu ta'ala revealed Islam, that is, iman and the teachings of the Shariat to him through Qur'an al-karim. The commandments to be observed are called Fard. Prohibitions are called Haram. Altogether they are called Shariat. As soon as a person becomes a Muslim, it becomes fard for him to perform namaz (five times daily) and to learn the Islamic teachings commonly known among the people. If he slights learning them, e.g., if he says that it is unnecessary to learn them, he loses his iman and becomes a kafir (disbeliever). It is written in the 266 th letter in our book Mujdeci Mektublar that those who died as kafirs will not be forgiven and will be subjected to an eternal fire in Hell. A person who loses his iman is called a Murtad (renegade). People who hold correct belief concerning the facts taught in Qur'an al-karim and hadith ash-Sharifs are called Ahl as-sunnat (Sunnite Muslims). Allahu ta'ala, being very compassionate, did not declare everything overtly. He expressed some facts in a covert language. People who believe in Qur'an al-karim and hadith ash-Sharifs but do not agree with the scholars of Ahl as-sunnat in interpreting some of their parts, are called people without a Madhhab. Of the people without a Madhhab, those who misinterpret only the teachings of iman expressed covertly are called people of Bidat or deviated Muslim. Those who misinterpret the openly declared ones are called Mulhid. A mulhid is a disbeliever, although he may consider himself a Muslim. A person of Bidat, however, is not a disbeliever. Yet he will certainly be subjected to very bitter torment in Hell. Among the books which informs that Ahl as-Sunnat 'ulama are on the right path and are superior, the book Mahzen ul-fiqh il-kubra of Muhammad Sulaiman Effendi a virtuous Sudanise, is very valuable. On the other hand, kafirs who pretend to be Muslims though they are not and interpret the overt teachings of Qur'an al-karim in accordance with their own personal mental capacities and scientific information, and mislead Muslims, are called Zindiqs.

Different scholars of Ahl as-sunnat drew different conclusions and meanings from the covertly expressed parts of the Shariat. Thus four different Madhhabs appeared in matters pertaining to religious practices that is, in adapting oneself to the Shariat. These Madhhabs are named Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali. These four Madhhabs agree in matters pertaining to iman (belief). They differ slightly only in ways of worship. People who belong to these four Madhhabs consider one another brothers in Islam. Every Muslim is free to choose and to imitate any of the four Madhhabs and to perform all his deeds in accordance with that Madhhab. Muslims' parting into four Madhhabs is the result of the mercy, the great compassion Allahu ta'ala has over Muslims. If a Muslim has trouble performing a worship compatibly with his own Madhhab, he can imitate another Madhhab and thus do his worship easily. Conditions to be fulfilled for imitating another Madhhab are written in the (Turkish) book Se'adet-i Ebediyye (Endless Bliss).

The most important worship is the namaz. If a person performs the namaz it will be understood that he is a Muslim. If a person does not perform the namaz it will be doubtful whether he is a Muslim. If a person values the namaz and yet neglects it because of indolence though he does not have a good excuse for not doing so, the law courts of Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali Madhhabs will give him death penalty, (if he is in one of these Madhhabs). If he is in the Hanafi Madhhab, he will be kept prisoner until he begins performing the namaz regularly and will be commanded to perform all the prayers of namaz he has omitted. It is stated as follows in the books Durr-ul-muntaqa and Ibni Abidin, and in Kitab-us- salat, published by Hakikat Kitabevi in Turkey: "Omitting the five daily prayers of namaz, i.e. not performing them in their prescribed times without any good excuse for not doing so, is a grave sin. Forgiveness for this sin requires making a hajj or tawba." And the tawba made for it, in its turn, will not be acceptable unless one performs the prayer, or the prayers, of namaz one has omitted. One must free oneself from this state of haram by performing the omitted prayers of fard namaz instead of the daily prayers of sunnat namaz called Rawatib. It is written in authentic religious books that if a person has debts of fard prayers of namaz none of his sunnat or supererogatory prayers of namaz will be accepted even if they are sahih. That is, he will not attain the thawabs (rewards), the benefits which Allahu ta'ala promises (for performing supererogatory prayers). Their writings are quoted in our (Turkish) book Se'adet-i Ebediyye. It is not sinful to miss a namaz for good reasons (prescribed by Islam). Yet all the four Madhhabs agree that one has to perform as soon as possible any prayers of namaz one has missed or omitted be it with good excuses or not. In Hanafi Madhhab only, it would be permissible to postpone them as long as the time necessary for working for one's living or for performing the prayers of sunnat namaz called Rawatib or the supererogatory prayers of namaz advised through hadith ash-Sharifs. That is, it will be good to postpone the qada namazs with these reasons. According to the other three Madhhabs, however, it is not permissible for a person who has debts of namaz omitted for good reasons to perform the so-called prayers of sunnat namaz or any sort of supererogatory namaz; it is haram. The fact that the prayers of namaz omitted for good reasons are not the same with those neglected without good reasons is written clearly in Durr ul-Mukhtar, Ibni 'Abidin, Durr ul-Muntaka, Tahtawi explanation of Marak il-falah and Jawhara.

KHULASA-T-UL-KALAM

The following chapter is the translation of the booklet Khulasa-t-ul-kalam:

This booklet is in Arabic. Its author, Yusuf Nebhani, passed away in Beirut in 1305 H. [1932 A.D.] May hamd (praise, laud and thanks) be to Allahu ta'ala! He blesses anyone He likes with hidayat (guidance to the right way and consequently to salvation) and leaves anyone He wishes in His dalalat (aberration, wrong way). [With His justice He accepts the prayers of those who wish to be saved from dalalat and attain eternal felicity]. We pronounce benedictions over our master, Muhammad 'alaihis- salam', who is the highest of Prophets and of all the selected people. May blessings and salutations be upon his Al (close relatives, household) and upon all his Ashab, who shine on the earth like stars in the sky!

This small booklet has few pages. Yet it is rich with respect to the knowledge it contains. People of knowledge and wisdom will accept it if they read it with common sense, and those who are blessed with the hidayat of Allahu ta'ala, with the right way, will believe it outright. This booklet distinguishes the Sirat-i- mustaqim, which is a blessing Allahu ta'ala has bestowed on Muslims, from the way of Dalalat, wherein He has forsaken His enemies. I have named this booklet Hulasa-t-ul-kalam fi tarjih-i-din-il-Islam, which means 'a summary of the statements which will help choose the Islamic religion.'

O man, who wishes to save himself from eternal torment and to attain infinite blessings! If you spent all your time pondering over this very important, very great truth, if you applied all your energies to find out the means for safeguarding yourself against endless torment, when you were alone and in all situations, if you cooperated with all other people and struggled to the best of your abilities as a human being to attain this goal, all these endeavors would be extremely insignificant when compared with the importance of this means. In fact, it would be similar to giving a grain of sand in return for all worldly treasures. The importance of this truth could not be explained through this writing of ours. This writing of ours is intended to give some clues to the wise. A single implication will suffice for a wise person to realize the purport. I, therefore, shall make a few clue-bearing statements to prime the pump for this realization: Man forms a liking to his settled tendencies. He does not want to cease from doing them. When he is born, for instance, be gets used to sucking milk, and hates to get weaned. As he grows, he becomes accustomed to his home, to his quarter, to his hometown. It becomes very difficult for him to part with them. Later on, he becomes wont to his shop, to his profession, to his scientific branch, to his family, to his language and religion, and hates to part with them. Thus various communities, tribes, nations come into being. Then, a nation's love of their religion is not the result of a realization that their religion is the best of religions. A wise person should study his religion, compare it with other religions, find out what religion is the true one and hold fast to it. For adherence to a wrong religion will drift one to eternal disasters and everlasting torments. O man, wake up from oblivion! If you say, "How do I know what religion is the true one? I believe that the religion I am accustomed to is the true one. I love this religion," then you should know that "Religion means to obey the commandments and prohibitions which Allah has sent through Prophets." These injunctions are men's duties to their Rabb (Allah) and to one another.

Of all the existing religions, which one gives the most helpful explanation of the Rabb's Attributes, of worships, and of the relations between creatures? Wisdom is a sense which distinguishes between good and bad. What is bad should be rejected and what is good should be studied. Studying a religion means studying its beginning, its Prophet, his Ashab (companions) and Ummat (followers), especially the notable ones. If you like them, choose that religion! Follow your mind, not your nafs! Your nafs will mislead you by infusing feelings of shame and fear into you pertaining to your family, your friends and wicked and miscreant men of religion. The harms such people may give you is a mere nothing when compared with everlasting torment. A person who realizes this fact fully will choose the Din-i-islam. He will believe in Muhammad 'alaihis- salam', who is the last Prophet. Besides, Islam enjoins a belief in all Prophets. It teaches that their religions and canonical laws were true, that each new Messenger invalidated the Shariats prior to him, and that by the same token the advent of Muhammad's 'alaihis-salam' Shariat invalidated all the earlier Shariats. A person's realizing that the religion he has been used to following is a wrong one, abandoning this religion and having iman in Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' will be very difficult for his nafs to tolerate. For the nafs has been created in a nature inimical to Allahu ta'ala, to Muhammad 'alaihis-salam', and to his Shariat. This inimical nature of the nafs is called Hamiyat-ul- jahiliyya (mistaken zeal, fanaticism, bigotry). Parents, teachers, vicious friends, [radio and television programs, statesmen] in the wrong religion will support this bigoted feeling. Hence the saying, "Teaching the child is like inscribing on stone." For eliminating this bigotry it is necessary to strive hard, to struggle against the nafs, and to convince the nafs through reason. If you read my following writings with attention, it will help you with this struggle of yours:

Adapting oneself to a certain religion is for attaining eternal happiness and securing oneself against everlasting disasters. It is not for boasting about a religion which one has inherited from one's parents. And each Prophet is a human being who possesses the qualifications of prophethood and conveys the injunctions of Allahu ta'ala to His born servants. One has to adapt oneself to a Prophet who has these qualifications and enter his religion. People who worship icons and idols called Wasani (Veseni) and godless people called Dahri, [also freemasons and communists] are like beasts. Also, the Nazarani (Christian) and Judaic religions have become obsolete for the following reasons:

1- In the Islamic religion, Allahu ta'ala has attributes of perfection. He does not have attributes of deficiency. The worships are easy to perform. Social relations are based on justice. Worships and social relations taught in the other religions, however, have changed in the course of time, so that they are no longer reasonable or practicable.

2- A comparative study of the lives of Muhammad, Isa (Jesus) and Musa (Moses) 'alaihimus-salam' will show that Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' is of the highest lineage, the noblest, the bravest, the most beneficent, the most knowledgeable, the wisest, the most superior, and the most sagacious in knowledge pertaining to this world and the next. On the other hand, he was ummee (illiterate). In other words, he had never read books nor learned anything from anybody.

3- The mujizas (miracles) worked through Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' were much more numerous than the total of those wrought through the others. The mujizas of the others are past and over. A number of Muhammad's 'alaihis-salam' mujizas, on the other hand, especially the mujiza of Qur'an al-karim, have been continuing and will last till the end of the world. And the karamats of his Ummat (Muslims), especially those wrought through the Awliya, have been occurring continually and everywhere.

4- Among the reports communicating these three religions to us, those which are conveyed through Qur'an al-karim and Hadith-i-Sharifs are more numerous and more dependable. All of them have been committed to books and spread throughout the world. Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' was forty years old when he was informed that he was the Prophet. And he was sixty-three years old when he passed away. His prophethood lasted for twenty-three years. He passed away after the whole Arabic peninsula had obeyed him, after his religion had spread and had been learned everywhere, after his call had been heard in the east and in the west, and after the number of his Ashab had reached 150 thousand. He performed his Farewell Hajj together with his 120 thousand Sahabis, and passed away eighty days after this. The third ayat al-karima of Maida sura, which purports, "Today I have completed your religion and consummated my blessing on you and called Islam as your religion," was revealed during this Hajj. All these Sahabis were faithful and true. Most of them were profoundly learned in Islam and were Awliya. They spread Rasulullah's religion and mujizas over the earth. For they traveled to other countries for Jihad. Wherever they went they conveyed the religious teachings and mujizas to men of knowledge living there. And these people, in their turn, taught others. Thus, scholars living in each century taught many other scholars belonging to the next generations. And these scholars wrote these teachings in thousands of books, and also wrote the names of those people who conveyed these teachings. They classified the hadith ash-Sharifs they learned in a number of categories and gave them such terms as Sahih, Hasan, etc. They did not let false statements fabricated by liars [and Jews] in the name of hadiths enter their books. They were very stringent, extremely sensitive in this respect. Owing to their stringent efforts the Islamic religion was established on very solid foundations and spread without any change. None of the other religions spread in such a healthy way. The mujizas of our beloved Prophet Muhammad 'alaihis-salam', substantially proves that he is the true Prophet, Islam's fundamental and essential teachings, existence and unity of Allahu ta'ala, His Attributes of perfection, prophethood of Muhammad 'alaihis-salam', that he was faithful and dependable and the highest of all Prophets, that people will rise again after death and will be called to account, the bridge of Sirat, blessings of Paradise, torments in Hell, that it is fard (a plain Islamic commandment) to perform the prayer called namaz five times daily, the fard (obligatory) parts of noon, afternoon and night prayers have four rak'ats each, that (the fard part of) morning prayer contains two rak'ats and (that of) evening prayer contains three rak'ats, that it is fard to begin fasting when the new moon for the month of Ramadan is seen in the sky and to celebrate the Bayram (feast) called Fitr when the new moon for the month of Shawwal is seen, that it is fard (or fard) to perform (the worship called) Hajj once in one's lifetime, that it is haram (forbidden) [for women and girls to go out without covering their heads, their hair, (for everyone, men and women alike) to practice pederasty] to commit fornication, to drink wine [or even a drop of any hard drink which would intoxicate in case it were taken in large amounts], for a person who is junub (canonically unclean, needing a ritual washing) and for a menstruating woman to perform namaz, to perform namaz without a ritual ablution, and all the other essential religious teachings were conveyed correctly to all Muslims, educated and ignorant ones alike, and eventually to us without any changes having been made in them. This fact is known by reasonable Christians and Jews as well. These people acknowledge that the means by which they learned their own religion do not have equally dependable authenticity. Because Muhammad's 'alaihis-salam' time is closer to ours and because the number of scholars who conveyed the Islamic religion to us is enormous, it has not been possible to insert superstitions into Islam. Christianity and Judaism do not possess these two blessings. There is a space of about six hundred years [according to historians] between the bi'that [appearing] of Isa 'alaihis-salam' and that of Muhammad 'alaihis- salam'. For [they say] that there are six hundred and twenty-one years between Isa's 'alaihis-salam' birth and Muhammad's 'alaihis-salam' hijra (migration) from Mecca to Medina. [On the other hand, this space of time is one thousand years according to Islamic scholars]. During this space of time ignorance was widespread all over the earth. It was therefore very difficult to distinguish between true reports and false ones.

Isa's 'alaihis-salam' call did not last long. Allahu ta'ala raised him up to heaven when he was thirty-three years old. During this short time he was weak and defenseless against unbelievers. The conditions were not convenient enough for him to carry out successfully the duty which his Rabb had assigned to him. The time's Jewish community and their government were an additional impediment. Nor did he have any supporters except those few people called Hawaris (Apostles). His only believers were these twelve Apostles, who were no more than poor, ignorant hunters. After his ascension to heaven, various reports and narrations were compiled in [four] books called the Injil, which, being transferred from one incompetent hand to another and being translated from one language to another, underwent various interpolations. Much of the information contained in these gospels therefore is contradictory with one another and illogical. In fact, reports given in one of them confute and belie those written in another. The same case applies to different versions of the same gospel. To eliminate these differences and contradictions, priests had to convene in every century and correct the existing gospels, thus making additions and excisions and meanwhile inserting absurdities that have nothing to do with religion. They forced people to believe these books. Most of the statements in these books do not belong to Isa 'alaihis-salam' or to his Apostles. As a result, they parted into various groups. New sects appeared in every century. Most of them dissented from earlier ones. And they all know that the gospels they have now are not the holy book teaching the religion brought by Isa 'alaihis-salam'.

So are the Judaic books narrating the religion and the mujizas of Musa 'alaihis-salam'. The space of time here is longer. Musa 'alaihis-salam' passed away two thousand three hundred and forty-eight (2348) years before Muhammad's 'alaihis-salam' hijrat. During the long time of ignorance between them it was impossible to convey the Judaic religion correctly. In addition, Jewish men of religion were killed by cruel tyrants like Nebuchadnezzar, and others were taken as captives and transported from the Bayt-ul-muqaddas to Babylon. In fact, there were times when Jerusalem did not contain one single person educated enough to read the Torah. Danyal (Daniel) 'alaihis- salam' knew the Torah by heart, so that he would recite and dictate it. This served to delay its being interpolated only till after this blessed Prophet's death. As a matter of fact, the additions made after him were far too amoral to be attributed to Allahu ta'ala or to Prophets.

That ignorance did not become widespread after the time of Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' is known by all peoples. In fact, knowledge became a widespread common attribute among all Muslims, great Islamic states were established and they spread knowledge, science, justice and human rights everywhere. Now, if a wise and reasonable person examines these three religions, he will definitely adapt himself to Islam. For the purpose is to find the true religion. Lying and slandering are haram in Islam. Ayat al-karimas and hadith ash-Sharifs vehemently prohibit these two vices. When it is a grave sin to slander an ordinary person, it is much worse, much more haram to slander the Messenger of Allah. For this reason, there cannot be any lies, any errors in books telling about Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' and his mujizas. A wise person should overcome his pertinacity, abandon the religion that will lead to perdition, and adapt himself to the true religion which will guide him to happiness. Life in this world is very short. Its days are passing by and turning into mere visions one by one. Every human being will end in death, whereafter there is either eternal torment or an everlasting life of blessings. And their time is approaching everybody with great speed.

O man! Have mercy on yourself! Remove the curtain of oblivion from your mind! See what is wrong as wrong and try to get rid of it! See what is right as right and adapt yourself to it, hold fast to it! The decision you will make is very great, very important. And the time is very short. You will certainly die! Think of the time when you will die! Prepare yourself for what you are going to experience! You will not escape everlasting torment unless you adapt yourself to Haqq. Repenting when it is too late will be useless. Confirming the truth at the last breath will not be accepted. Making tawba after death will not be valid. That day, if Allahu ta'ala says, "O My born servant! I gave thee the light of mind. I commanded thee to use it for knowing Me and for having belief in Me, in My Prophet Muhammad 'alaihis-salam', and in the Islamic religion revealed through him. I informed in the Torah and the Bible about the advent of this Prophet. I spread his name and religion in very country. You cannot say you did not hear about him. You worked day and night for worldly earnings, worldly pleasures. You never thought of what you were going to experience in the Hereafter. In a state of unawareness you fell into the talons of death," how will you answer?

O man! Think of what is going to happen to you! Come to your senses before your lifetime is over. People you had been seeing around you, you had been talking to, you had been sympathizing with, you had been afraid of, died one by one. They do not exist now. They came and went by like fancies. Think well! What a horrible thought it is to burn in eternal fire! And how great a fortune it is to live in everlasting blessings. You have the choice now. Everybody will end up in one of these two extremes. Another alternative is impossible. It would be utter ignorance, insanity not to consider this and take precautions accordingly. May Allahu ta'ala bless us all with following reason! Amin.

It is stated as follows in the book Qawl-us-sabt fi rad-d-i-'ala deaw-il-protestanet: Allama Rahmatullah Hindi (79) states in his book (Iz-har-ul-haqq), "Before the beginning of Islam there were no original copies of the Torah or the Bible left anywhere. The existing ones today are history books made up of true and false reports. The Torah and the Bible mentioned in Qur'an al-karim are not the existing books in the name of Torah and Bible. Of the teaching written in these books, the ones affirmed by Qur'an al-karim are true and those which it rejects are false. We would not say true of false about those which are not mentioned in Qur'an al-karim. There is no documentary evidence to prove that the four Gospels are the word of Allah. A British priest with whom I spoke with in India admitted this fact and said that all the documents in this respect had been lost through tumults that had happened in the world until A.D. 313". It is written in the second volume of the interpretation of the Bible by Heron, in the sixty-fifth page of the first volume of the historian Moshem's history, printed in 1332 [A.D. 1913], and in the hundred and twenty-fourth page of the fifth volume of the explanation of the Bible by Lardis that the Gospels underwent various interpolations. Jerome says, "As I translated the Bible, I saw that different copies contradicted one another." Adam Clark says in the first volume of his interpretation, "The Bible underwent various interpolations during its translation into Latin. Contradictory additions were made." Ward Catholic says on the eighteenth page of his interpretation, printed in 1841, "Oriental heretics changed many parts of the Bible. Protestant priests submitted a report to King James I and said: The Psalms in our book of prayers are unlike the ones that are in Hebrew. There are almost two hundred changes. On the other hand, Protestant priests made even more changes." Numerous examples of these changes are given in the book Iz-har-ul-haqq. Interpolations in various editions of the Gospels are exemplified also in the book Al-fasilu-beyn-al-haqq wal-batil, by Izz-ad-din Muhammadi, and Tuhfat-ul-arib, by Abdullah Tarjuman.

All priests know that Isa 'alaihis-salam' did not write anything. Neither did he leave behind any written documents nor have anyone write anything. He did not teach his Shariat in written form. After his ascension to heaven, disagreements began among the Nazaranis. They could not come together to consolidate their religious knowledge. As a result, more than fifty Gospels were written. Four of them were chosen. Eight years after Isa 'alaihis-salam' the Gospel of Matthew was written in the Syrian language in Palestine. The original copy of this Gospel does not exist today. There is a book said to be its Greek version. The Gospel of Mark was written in Rome thirty years after him. The Gospel of Luke was written in Greek in Alexandria twenty-eight years after him. And thirty-eight years after him, the Gospel of John was written in Ephesus. All these Gospels contain narrations, stories, and events that happened after Isa 'alaihis- salam'. Luke and Mark are not among the Apostles. They wrote what they had heard from others. Authors of these Gospels did not call their books Injil (Bible). They said that theirs were history books. Those who called them the Bible were those who translated them afterwards.

This book, Qawl-us-sebt, was written in 1341 [A.D. 1923] by Sayyid Abd-ul-qadir Iskenderani as a response to the book Aqawil-ul-Qur'aniyya, written in Arabic and printed by a Protestant priest in Egypt; in 1990, (Hakikat Kitabevi) reproduced this book together with the books As-sirat-ul-mustaqim and Hulasa-t-ul-kalam.

The original Injil was in the Hebrew language and was destroyed by the Jews when they arrested Isa 'alaihis- salam'. Not even a single copy of the original Holy Book was written during the three years, the period of Isa's 'alaihis-salam' call. Christians deny the original Injil. The four Gospels which they call the Bible do not contain any system of worship. All they contain are the discussions between Isa 'alaihis-salam' and the Jews. However, a religious book must teach forms of worship. If they should claim to have been doing their worship in accordance with the Torah, then why do they ignore its very important commandments such as observing the Sabbath [on Saturday], circumcision, and abstention from eating pork? Their Gospels do not contain any information telling that these commandments should be disregarded. On the other hand, Qur'an al-karim covers detailed knowledge pertaining to all sorts of worships, ethics, law, trade, agriculture, and science, and encourages these branches. It prescribes solutions for all sorts of physical and spiritual problems.

For fourteen hundred years no poet, no man of literature, no obdurate unbeliever has been able to express a statement similar to any one ayat of Qur'an al-karim, try as they would. That not a single one of its ayats could be said in its exactitude, despite the fact that the vocabulary used in it consists of commonly used ordinary words, shows clearly that it is a mujiza (miracle wrought through a Prophet). The other mujizas of Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' are past events; they exist only in name today. As for Qur'an al-karim; it shines as brightly as the sun, always and everywhere. It is a medicine for every illness, a remedy for every disease. Allahu ta'ala, the Most Kind, has bestowed it on His Habib-i-akram (Blessed beloved one) and revealed it to him so that all His born servants could be happy. With His infinite Kindness and Compassion, He has protected it against changes and interpolations. He did not make this promise concerning other heavenly books.

The Shariats of all Prophets, having been suited (by Allahu ta'ala) to the requirements of the times they lived in, were naturally different from one another. Tenets of belief, however, were identical in all of them. They all taught that Allahu ta'ala is One, and that there will be a resurrection after death. It is stated in the fourth chapter of the Torah, "The owner of earths and heavens is one", in the sixth chapter, "O thou the Israelite! Hark! Thine Allah, thine Rabb, is one." In II Kings Sulaiman (Solomon) 'alaihis-salam' is quoted as having said, "O Thou, Allah of Israel! Neither on earth nor in heavens is there another Rabb like Thee. Thou willst not go in earths or in heavens, nonetheless for the house I have built," after building the Bayt-ul-muqqaddas (the Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem). It is written in the fifteenth chapter of I Kings that Prophet Samuel said, "The blessed One, that is, Allah and Rabb of Israel, will not lie, nor will He repent. For He is not human." It is stated as follows in the forty-fifth chapter of the book attributed to Prophet Isaiah: "I am Rabb! There is no Allah besides Me. I, alone, create light and dark, good and evil." It is written in the nineteenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, "Someone said unto him: 'O good teacher! What good should I do so that I attain eternal life?' He answered him: 'Why do you call me good? There is no one good except One. He is Allah. If you want to attain eternal life, do His injunctions'." It is stated as follows in the twelfth chapter of Mark: "One of the scribes said: 'What is the first injunction?' Isa 'alaihis-salam' answered him: 'The first injunction is that our Rabb is one. Love thine Rabb with all thine heart, with all thine energy. The second is that He does not have a likeness'." Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' stated so, too.

A person who contradicts [disbelieves] Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' will have disbelieved all Prophets. Belief in Trinity [existence of three Gods] means to deny all the Prophets. The doctrine of the Trinity appeared long after Isa's 'alaihis-salam' ascension to heaven. Formerly, all the Nazarites held the belief of Tawhid (Unity of Allah) and observed most of the principles in the Torah. When a number of idolaters and Greek philosophers joined the Nazarites they mixed their former belief, the Trinity, with the Nazarani religion. It is written in a French book, which was translated into Arabic and given the title Qurrat-un-nufus, that the person who interpolated the doctrine of the Trinity into the Nazarani religion first was a priest named Seblius, in the year 200 of the Christian Era, and that this first interpolation caused much bloodshed. At that time many scholars defended the belief of Unity and said that Isa 'alaihis-salam' was a human being and a Prophet. It was sometime around the year 300 when Arius of Alexandria proclaimed the belief of Unity and announced that the doctrine of the Trinity was wrong and void. In the (first) Nicene council convened by Constantine the Great in 325, belief in the Unity was rejected and Arius was excommunicated. They themselves do not know what they mean by the name Holy Ghost (or Spirit), which they suppose to be the third god of the Trinity. They say that it was the Holy Ghost through which Isa 'alaihis-salam' came into being in the womb of his mother, Mary. Islam teaches that the Ruh-ul-Quds (the Holy Spirit) is the Archangel named Jabrail (Gabriel) (80).

Shams-ad-din Sami Bey wrote in the 1316 [A.D. 1898] edition of Kamus-ul-alam: The Islamic Prophet is Muhammad 'alaihis-salam'. His father is Abdullah and his grandfather is Abd-ul-muttalib bin Hisham bin 'Abd-i- Manaf bin Qusey bin Kilab. According to historians, he was born in Mecca towards a Monday morning, which coincided with the twelfth day of Rabi'ul-awwal month, the twentieth of April, in 571 A.D. His mother is Amina, the daughter of Vahab and his grandfather is 'Abd-i-Menaf bin Zuhra bin Kilab. Kilab is Abdullah's great grandfather. Abdullah passed away at a place called Dar-un-nabigha in the vicinity of Medina on his way back from a commercial expedition to Damascus. He was twenty-five years old. He did not see his son. He (Muhammad 'alaihis-salam') stayed with his wet nurse Halima among her tribe for five years. This tribe, which was called Bani Said, were the most eloquent people of Arabia. For this reason, Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' spoke very eloquently. When he was six years old Amina, (his blessed mother), took him to his maternal uncles in Medina and passed away there. His nurse, Umm-i-Eymen, took him to Mecca and delivered him to Abd-ul-muttalib, (his blessed paternal grandfather). He was eight years old, when Abd-ul-muttalib passed away and he began to stay in the home of his paternal uncle Abu Talib. When he was twelve years old he joined Abu Talib on a commercial journey to Damascus. When he was seventeen years old his paternal uncle Zubair took him to Yaman. When he was twenty-five years old he went to Damascus as the leader of Hadija's 'radi-allahu anha' caravan on a commercial expedition. He became famous for his excellent manners, beautiful moral character, and industrious habits. Two months later he married Hadija. When he was forty years old the angel named Jabrail (Gabriel) visited him and he was informed of his prophethood. Hadija was his first believer, and she was followed by Abu Bakr, then Ali, who was a child yet, and than Zayd bin Harisa. When he was forty-three years old he was ordered to invite everybody to Islam. Heathens persecuted him severely. He was fifty-three years old when he migrated to Medina-i- munawwara. He arrived in the Kuba village of Medina on Monday the eighth of Rabi'ul-awwal, which coincided with the twentieth day of September, in the 622 nd year of the Christian era. It was during the caliphate of hadrat 'Umar when this year, (i.e. A.D. 622), was accepted as the beginning of the Muslim era and the first day of the month of Muharram as the first day (new year's day) of the Hijri Lunar year. It was the sixteenth day, a Friday, in the month of July. And the twentieth day of September was accepted as the first day of the Hijri Solar year. The 623 rd new year's day of the Christian era took place during the first Hijri solar and lunar years. When the first commandment to perform Ghaza and Jihad against the unbelievers was given (by Allahu ta'ala), the Ghaza (Holy War) of Badr was made in the second year of the Hijrat. Of the nine-hundred-and-fifty-strong army of unbelievers, fifty were killed and forty-four were taken as captives. In the third year, the Ghaza of Uhud was made. The number of unbelievers was three thousand, whereas Muslims numbered seven hundred. Seventy-five Sahabis were martyred. In the fourth year the Ghaza of Hendek (Trench) and in the fifth year the Ghaza of Bani Mustalaq were made. It was during this same year when women were commanded to cover themselves. The Ghaza of Hayber and the peace agreement called Bi'at-ur-ridwan, at Hudaybiya, were made in the sixth year. In the seventh year the Kaiser and the Chosroes were sent letters of invitation to Islam. In the eighth year the Ghaza of Muta was conducted against the Byzantine army under Heraclius' command, Mecca was conquered and the Ghaza of Hunayn was taken place. In the ninth year an expedition for the Ghaza of Tabuk was made. In the tenth year the Hajj of Wada' (Farewell) was made. In the eleventh year, after suffering fever for thirteen days, the blessed Prophet passed away in the room adjacent to his masjid on Monday the twelfth of Rabi'ul awwal, when he was sixty-three years old.

Rasulullah 'sall-allahu alaihi wa sallam' was always affable and soft-spoken. There was a nur shining on his blessed face. Those who saw him would fall in love with him. His mildness, patience, beautiful moral habits are written in thousands of books. He had four sons and four daughters from Hadija 'radi-allahu anha'. And he had one son from Mariya of Egypt. All his children except Fatima passed away while he was alive. This is the end of our citation from Kamus-ul-alam.

Imam-i-Ghazali wrote in his book Kimya-yi Saadat, "Allahu ta'ala sent Prophets to His born servants. Through these great people He informed His born servants about ways guiding to happiness and those leading to disasters. The highest, the most superior and the last of the Prophets is Muhammad 'alaihis-salam'. He is the Prophet for all people, for all nations. All people all over the world have to believe in that exalted Prophet." A person who believes him and adapts himself to him will attain blessings in the world and in the Hereafter. He who does not believe him, on the other hand, will be subjected to everlasting torment in the Hereafter.

BRITISH ENMITY AGAINST ISLAM

People who read the British spy's confessions given in the first section will have an idea of what the British think about Muslims throughout the world. The following is an account of how British spies have applied the orders they received from the Ministry of Commonwealth on the world's Muslims and what activities the missionaries have been carrying on.

The British are a conceited and arrogant people. The high value which they attach to themselves and to their own country leaves its place to a symmetrical detestation when it comes to other people and their countries.

According to the British, there are three groups of people on the earth: The first group are the British, who are self-portraited as the most developed beings Allah has ever created in the human form. The second group are the white-colored Europeans and Americans. These people may also be worthy of respect, as they so generously admit. The third group are the people who have not had the luck of being born in either of the first two groups. They are the sort of creatures between human beings and animals. They are not worthy of respect at all; nor do they deserve such things as freedom, independence or a country. They have been created for living under others' domination, especially that of the British.

Holding such a prejudice about other people, the British never live among the inhabitants of their colonies. Throughout their colonies there are clubs, casinos, restaurants, baths, and even stores that are open only to British people. Native people cannot enter these places.

French writer Marcelle Perneau, who is famous for his travels to India in the early twentieth century, gives the following account in his Notes on My Travel to India:

"I made an appointment with an Indian scholar, who was widely known in Europe, so much so that he had been granted professorship by some universities; we decided to meet in a British club in India. When the Indian arrived, the British did not let him in, disignoring his fame. It was only after I found out what was happening and insisted that I was able to see the Indian in the club."

The British have treated other people with such cruelty as could not be inflicted on animals.

Their biggest colony is India, where they perpetrated savage, sadistic cruelties for years; in the Amritsar city of this country a group of Hindus who had come together for a religious rite did not pay due respect to a British woman missionary. The missionary complained to the British General Dyer. Upon this the general ordered his soldiers to open fire on the people performing their rite. Seven hundred people were killed in ten minutes, and more than a thousand people were wounded. Unsatisfied with this, the general forced the people to walk on their hands and feet like animals for three days. A complaint was filed and reported to London, whereupon the government issued an order for an investigation.

When the inspector sent forth to India for the investigation asked the general for what reason he had ordered his soldiers to open fire on defenseless people, the general answered, "I am the commander here. I make the decisions about the military executions here. I ordered so because I considered it right." When the inspector asked what was the reason for his ordering the people to crawl face downwards, the general answered, "Some Indians crawl face downwards in front of their gods. I wanted them to know that a British woman is as sacred as a Hindu god, and, therefore, they have to crawl in front of her, too, let alone insulting her." And when the inspector reminded him that the people would have to go out for shopping and other things, the general's answer was, "If these people were human beings they would not crawl on their faces in the streets. They live in adjacent houses with flat roofs. They would walk on their roofs like human beings." These statements of the general's were publicized by the British press and the general was declared a hero. [Dyer, Reginald Edward Harry was born in 1281 [A.D. 1864] and died in London in 1346 [A.D. 1927]. The world's histories mention him as "The famous British general who quelled the riots against the British oppression in Amritsar city by turning the city into a lake of blood on April 13, 1919." When large mass demonstrations against the British were staged all over India, he was discharged from office and retired. However, the British House of Lords decided that his deeds deserved laud and praise, and he must therefore be supported. This fact makes it quite clear how British lords and counts look on other peoples].

The British apply a different administrative system in their colonies with white and originally European people than the one by which they colonize countries whose people are colored and aboriginal. The first group are privileged; that is, they are partly autonomous. The second group moan with the pains of cruelty. This second group of their colonies, which they call 'Dominions', have self-governing states in their internal affairs, while they are under British domination in their external matters. Examples of these colonies are Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

Matters concerning the colonies have been assigned to two ministries. They are the Ministry of the Commonwealth, and the Ministry of India. The Ministry of the Commonwealth is presided over by Secretary of State for the Colonial Department. This secretary (or minister) has two councillors and four assistants. One of the councillors is chosen from among the House of Commons. The other councillor and the assistants are in office permanently. Change of power will not cause them to lose their office. One of the four assistants are in charge of matters concerning Canada, Australia, and some islands, another one is responsible for Southern Africa, a third one governs Eastern and Western Africa, and the last one has been assigned to India.

Based on a fetid foundation, a mixture of hostility against Islam, despotism, trickery and turpitude, the British Empire formerly called itself a state on which "the sun never sets". Such countries as Canada, South Africa, Fiji, the Pacific Islands, Papua, Tonga, Australia, the British Baluchistan, Burma, Aden, Somali, Borneo, Brunei, Sarawak, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong-Kong, a part of China, Cyprus, Malta, (and in 1300 [A.D. 1882]) Egypt, Sudan, Niger, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Bahamas, Grenada, Guiana (Guyana), Bostwana, Gambia, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Singapore were brought under the British sway. These countries of the world lost their religions, languages, customs and traditions. In addition, their sources and resources were exploited by the British.

At the end of their invasions in the nineteenth century, the Empire took possession of approximately one-fourth of the earth's surface, colonizing more than one-fourth of the earth's population.

India was the most significant, the most outstanding of the British colonies. It was India's tremendous population of over three hundred million [well over seven hundred million as of today] and its inexhaustible natural wealth that earned the British their universal domination. In the First World War alone, Britain utilized one and a half million of India's population as fighting soldiers and one billion rupees of its treasury as ready money. They used most of these assets in smashing the Ottoman Empire. In peace time as well, it was India that helped Britain's stupendous industries to survive and sustained the British economy and finance. There were two reasons for India's being an incomparably important colony: First, India was a country where Islam, which the British considered to be the greatest hindrance to their exploiting the whole world, was widespread, and Muslims were in the ascendant in this country. Second, India's natural riches.

In order to keep India under their domination, the British mounted offensives on all the Muslim countries that had transport links with India, sowed seeds of mischief and instigation, set brothers against one another, took these countries under their domination, and transported all their natural riches and national wealth back to their own country.

The perfidious character inherent in the nature of the British policy proves itself in that they meticulously followed the movements in the Ottoman Empire, set the Ottomans on a war with the Russians by using all sorts of political stratagems, and thus put them into the position that it would be impossible for them to offer any help to India.

The European pioneers of India are the Portuguese. Landing in the port city named Calcutta in India's coastal Malabar region in 904 [A.D. 1498], the Portuguese engaged in trade and took possession of India's trade business, only to lose it to the Dutch some time later. Those who snatched India's trade from the Dutch were the French. It was not long after that, however, that these people confronted with the British.

As it is related in the book As-Sawrat-ul-Hindiyya, (which means 'the Indian Revolution'), written by Allama Muhammad Fadl-i-Haqq Khayr-abadi, one of India's great Islamic scholars, and in its commentary entitled Al-yawakit-ul-mihriyya, it was in the year 1008 [A.D. 1600] when the British first managed to take Akbar Shah's permission to open trade centers in Calcutta, India. The same year Queen Elizabeth I sanctioned the regulations for the East Indian Campaign. In accordance with these regulations, the campaign was granted permission to recruit soldiers in Britain, to arm them for its own use, to establish a fleet of its own, and to organize military and commercial expeditions to India.

They bought land in Calcutta in the time of Shah-i- 'Alam I (77). They brought soldiers with the pretext of protecting their land. Akbar Shah was a corrupt person in creedal matters. He held all religions equal. In fact, he convened scholars from various religions and attempted to establish a common, universal religion, a mixture of all religions, and made an official announcement of this new religion, which he named Din-i-ilahi (Divine Religion), in 990 [A.D. 1582]. From that time up until his death, respect for Islamic scholars continuously decreased all over India, especially in the palace, and people who tended towards Akbar Shah's religion were esteemed highly. It was during those days when the British entered India. In return for their successful medical treatment of Sultan Farruh Seer Shah in 1126 [A.D. 1714], they were awarded the privilege of buying land anywhere they liked throughout India. After Shah-i-'Alam II mounted the throne 1174 [A.D. 1760], they extended their domination from Bengal to Central India and Racasthan. They aroused mischief and tumults everywhere in India. In 1218 [A.D. 1803] the British eventually managed to take Shah-i-'Alam II completely under their authority. The orders which they announced from Delhi were now being issued in the name of the Shah. It did not take them long to equalize the powers of the British governor general with those of Shah-i-'Alam II. They deleted the names of the Muslim Indian emperors from the Indian monetary coins. In 1253 [C.E. 1837] Bahadir Shah II became the emperor. He could not stand the British oppressions long and, encouraged by the army and the people, commenced a great insurrection against the British in 1274 [A.D. 1857]. Thus, he managed to have money coined bearing his name and to have the khutba given with his name mentioned in it, yet the British reaction to this was extremely vehement and cruel. Entering Delhi, the British soldiers made havoc of the city, ransacked houses and shops, and pillaged whatever they found in the name of property and money. They put all Muslims to the sword, regardless of whether they were young or old, male or female, adult or infant. It was such a massive destruction that the people could not even find any water to drink.

One of the commanders of Bahadir Shah II, a general named Baht Khan, persuaded the Sultan to withdraw his army. However, another commander named Mirza Ilahi Bakhsh, in an effort to ingratiate himself with the British, misled Bahadir Shah, saying that if he left his army and surrendered he would be able to convince the British that he was innocent and had been forced to preside over the insurrection and thus would be forgiven by the British. So Bahadir Shah left the main body of his retreating army and took asylum in Humayun Shah's mausoleum, ten kilometers from a place called Kal'a-i- Mualla within Delhi.

A traitor named Rajab Ali betrayed the Emperor to a British priest named Hudson, who was notorious for immoral and maladroit acts and was serving as an intelligence officer in the British army. This man, in his turn, reported the situation to General Wilson, the then Army Commander, and asked for his help to arrest the Emperor. When Wilson answered that he did not have any mercenaries to lend him, Hudson suggested that he could do this job with a few men, advising that the Emperor must be given the guarantee that he and his family would not be harmed if he surrendered. At first Wilson refused this suggestion, but after a while he agreed. Upon this Hudson, taking ninety men with him, went to Humayun Shah's mausoleum and assured the Emperor that no harm would be inflicted on him, his sons and wife. Falling for the priest's promise, Bahadir Shah surrendered. The Emperor had two sons and a grandson who had not surrendered yet. So Hudson set about to arrest them. Yet they had so many guards that it was impossible to arrest them. Therefore he took General Wilson's permission to give them the guarantee that they would not be harmed if they surrendered. Sending various messengers to the Emperor's two sons and grandson, Hudson, the villain, assured them that they would not be harmed. These people also were taken in by the priest's lies and surrendered. As soon as Hudson arrested the Emperor's two sons and grandson, by having recourse to a policy and stratagem peculiar to the British, he cast them into chains.

As the Shah's two sons and grandson were being taken to Delhi with their hands tied, Hudson had the young princes stripped of their clothes and he martyred them himself by firing bullets into their chests. He drank from their blood. He had the corpses of these young martyrs hung by the fortress gate in order to intimidate the people. The following day he sent their heads to the British governor general Henry Bernard. Then, he had a bowl of soup made from the martyrs' flesh and sent it to the Shah and his spouse. Being very hungry, they hastily put some into their mouths. Yet, although they did not know what kind of meat it was, they could not chew it or swallow it. Instead, they vomited and put the soup dishes on the floor. The villian named Hudson said, "Why don't you eat it. It is delicious soup. I had it cooked from your sons' flesh."

In 1275 [A.D. 1858] Bahadir Shah II was dethroned and was subjected to a judicial trial for the crime of causing rebellion and massacre of Europeans. On March 29, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and was banished to Indo-China [Rangun]. It was during November of 1279 [A.D. 1862] that this last Sultan of the Islamic GhurGhani Empire, Bahadir Shah, passed away in a dungeon far from his country. On the other hand, Allama (Muhammad) Fadl-i-Haqq was martyred by the British in a dungeon on the Andaman Islands in 1278 [C.E. 1861].

During the Ottoman-Russian War, in 1294 [C.E. 1877], the British declared India a British dependency. By submerging the Ottoman Empire into this war, Midhat Pasha, a registered member of the notorious Scotch Masonic Lodge, orchestrated the worst of the damage he had inflicted on the Islamic religion. His having martyred Sultan Abd-ul-'Aziz Khan was another favor he did for the British. The British had trained special agents and had them appointed to high ranking positions in the Ottoman government. These statesmen were Ottoman in name but British in mind and speech. Mustafa Rashid Pasha, the most infamous of these men, had been in office as the last Grand Vizier only six days when he congratulated the British for the Delhi massacre they perpetrated on the Muslims of India on 28 Oct. 1857. Earlier than that, the British had asked permission from the Ottomans to use the Egyptian route for the dispatch of the British soldiers coming from Britain to suppress the Muslims who had revolted against the British cruelty in India. The permission had been provided by the masonic agents.

The British not only prevented the opening of new schools in India, but they also closed all the madrasas and the primary schools which were the foundations and the most salient symbols of the Islamic Shariat, and they martyred all the scholars and religious authorities who could have led the people. At this point we consider it appropriate to relate a real story that a friend of ours told us when he was back from his travels to India and Pakistan in 1391 [A.D. 1971]

"After visiting the graves of the Awliya, such as Imam-i-Rabbani and others 'qaddas-allahu sirrah' in Serhend city, I went to Paniput city, and thence to Delhi. Performing the Friday prayer in the biggest mosque in Paniput. I went to the imam's house upon his invitation. On the way I saw a huge door locked with a chain with thick rings. The inscription on the door said it had been a primary school I asked the imam why it was locked. The imam said, "It has been closed since 1367 [A.D. 1947]. The British provoked the Hindus against the Muslims and caused a massacre of all the Muslims, women, men, children and old people, all of them. This school has been closed since that day. This chain and the lock remind us of the British cruelty. We are emigrants who came and settled here afterwards."

The British did away with all the Islamic scholars, Islamic books, and Islamic schools, a practice which they applied to all the Islamic countries. Thus they brought up young generations totally unaware of the religion.

The notorious British Lord Macauley as soon as he arrived in Calcutta in 1834, prohibited all sorts of Arabic and Persian publications and ordered that the ones that were already in the process of printing should be stopped, and this attitude of his earned him a great deal of acclamation from his British colleagues. This oppression was assiduously carried on in places with a Muslim majority, especially in Bengal.

While closing the Islamic madrasas in India on the one hand, the British opened one hundred and sixty-five colleges, eight of which were for girls, on the other hand. The students educated in these colleges were brainwashed and were made hostile towards their fathers' religion, towards their own ancestors. Two-thirds of the British army that perpetrated the aforesaid cruelties and savageries in India was made up of the native people who had been brainwashed, made hostile against their own nation, Christianized, or hired.

The laws that were enacted in 1249 [C.E. 1833] served the expansion of the missionary activities and the consolidation of the Protestant organization in India. Before this spreading of missionary activities and India's being fully under British domination, the British were respectful of the Muslims' religious belief; they would have cannons fired to celebrate the Muslims' holy days, offer them help for the restoration of their mosques and other places of worship, and even join services in the pious foundations pertaining to mosques, convents, shrines and madrasas. The imperative messages arriving from Britain in 1833 and 1838 prohibited the British from activities of this sort. As these facts show clearly, the policy employed by the British in their attacks on the Islamic religion is based on deceiving the world's Muslims by first pretending to be friendly and helpful and by spreading the impression far and wide that they love Muslims and serve Islam, and then, after attaining this subsidiary goal, annihilating gradually and insidiously all the Islamic essentials, books, schools, and scholars. This double-faced policy of theirs has done the worst harm to Muslims and all but exterminated Islam. Later on, they increased their efforts to have English adopted as the official language and bring up Christianized new generations from the native people. To this end they opened schools thoroughly under the control of the missionaries. In fact, the British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston and many other British Lords said that "God hath given India to the British so that the Indian people might enjoy the blessings of Christianity."

Lord Macauley spent his utmost energy and support for constituting in India a British nation who were Indian in blood and color and British in inclinations, thoughts, belief, moral values, and mental capacity. Therefore, the schools opened by the missionaries allotted very much importance and time in their curricula to the teaching of the English language and literature and Christianity. Scientific knowledge, (such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.), was totally disignored. Thus a number of Christianized people who knew nothing but the English language and literature were educated and produced. Then these people were employed in the civil service.

It being an Islamic rule that a Muslim who abandons his faith will become an apostate, while Hindus considered those who turn away from Hinduism irreligious, people who were Christianized could not inherit property from their parents. In order to eliminate this rule, the missionaries passed a law, which was first enacted in Bengal, in 1832, and then promulgated all over India, in 1850, thus making it possible for the Christianized native apostates and renegades to have a share from their parents' inheritance. For this reason, Indians called the British schools in India Satanic Registers. [In India and the Ottoman Empire official bureaus and institutions were called Defter (Register)]. French writer Marcelle Permeau visited India in 1344 [A.D. 1925] and published a book when he returned. He says in this book of his, "Calcutta, India's primary city, was in such a miserable state that the poverty- stricken suburbs around Paris and London would fall far short of exemplifying. People and animals living together in cottages, children crying, ill people moaning. Beside them you see people utterly enervated from continuous use of alcohol and drugs, sprawling on the ground in a manner no different from dead people. Watching these exceedingly hungry, miserable, weak and exhausted people, one cannot help asking oneself what on earth these people could do.

"Clouds of people are scudding towards factories, and how much of their profits are these factories paying these people? Needs, difficulties, infectious diseases, alcohol and drugs are destroying, annihilating the already enervated, defenseless people. Nowhere else on earth has human life been treated with such shameless indifference as it is here. No work, no toil is considered to be hard or unhealthy here. It is not a problem if a worker dies. Another one will take his place. The only concern for the British here is how to increase the production rates and how to earn more and more money."

Williams Jennings Bryan, a former U.S. Foreign Secretary, confirms with evidences that the British government is more cruel and baser than Russia; the statements he makes in his book British Domination in India can be paraphrased as follows: "The British, who claim to have bestowed welfare and happiness on the living of the Indian people, sent millions of Indians to their graves. This nation (the British), who boast everywhere that they instituted law courts and disciplinary forces, robbed India to the core through a political embezzlement. 'Robbery' may sound somewhat too tough a term, yet no other word could depict the British atrocity more explicitly.

"The conscience of the British people, who claim to be Christians, is not willing to hear the Indian Muslims' call for help."

Mister Hodbert Keombtun says in his book Life of the Indian, "The Indian is tormented by his master [the British], yet he continues to work and serve till he loses everything he has, till he dies."

The Indian Muslim workers being employed in the other British colonies were even under worse conditions. In 1834 the British industrialists began to employ Indian workers instead of African natives. Thousands of Muslims were transported from India to South African colonies. The position of these workers, who were called Coolies, was worse than that of slaves. They were bound by a contract called Indentured Labor. According to this contract, the coolie would be indentured for five years. During this period he could not leave his work or get married; he would have to work day and night under continuous whipping. In addition, he was liable to a taxation of three British gold-coins yearly. "These facts were announced all over the world through publications such as Labor in India, Post-Lecturer in the University of New York."

Ghandi, a widely known Indian Ruler, received his education in Britain and returned to India. He was the son of a Christianized Indian. In fact, his father was the Archbishop of Porbandar city. When in 1311 [A.D. 1893] he was sent by a British company in India to South Africa and witnessed the heavy conditions the Indians were being employed under and the barbarous treatment they were being subjected to, he put up a struggle against the British. Although he was the son of a person brought up and even Christianized by the British, he could not bear the sight of this British cruelty and savagery. This was his first step towards the movement that would later earn him his renown.

The basis of the policy which the British have followed throughout the Muslim world consists of this three-word slogan: "Break, dominate, and destroy their faith."

They have not hesitated to fulfill all the requirements of this policy, whatsoever.

The first thing they did in India was to find the people who would serve them. Using these people, they slowly lit the fire of mischief. The people most suitable for this purpose were the Hindus living under Muslims' domination; so they used these people. The Hindus were leading a peaceful life under the equitable ruling of the Muslims, when the British approached them and gradually imbued them with the thought that Hindus were the real owners of India, that Muslims had been killing the Hindu gods in the name of religious sacrifice, and that this practice should soon be put an end to. The Hindus were on the British side now. They employed some of them as mercenaries. Thus the Hindu nescience and the British hostility against Islam and avarice for money were brought together to carry out Queen Elizabeth's advice for the formation of an army. Discord was sown between the Muslim governors and the Hindu maharajahs. In the meantime, from amongst the Muslims, people slack in their faith were hired.

The British Sir Lord Strachey, who served as the regent on several occasions and who was a member of the (Indian Organization), states about the Muslim-Hindu enmity, "Anything that will be done in order to dominate or sow discord is compatible with our government's policy. The greater support for our policy in India is the co-existence of two autonomous societies who are hostile to each other." Aggravating this hostility, the British supported the Hindus continuously from 1164 [A.D. 1750] until 1287 [A.D. 1870], and joined them in all the massacres of Muslims they perpetrated.

Commencing in 1858, the Muslim-Hindu conflicts grew wider and wider. The British would provoke the Hindus against the Muslims and then sit and enjoy the fights as the Hindus attacked. Not a single year passed without bloody events and mischievous tumults that broke out upon the killing of a cow as a religious sacrifice and which resulted in the massacre of hundreds, thousands of Muslims. In order to kindle the mischief from both ends, they, on the one hand, spread among the Muslims the belief that killing one cow as a sacrifice would be more pious than killing seven sheep, and, on the other hand, they rumored among the Hindus that rescuing their bovine gods from death would earn them a lot of rewards in the next world. This mischief of theirs continued after their withdrawal from India. We would like to exemplify this fact by relating an event written in a magazine entitled Ittila'at, which was published in Iran in the time of its Prime Minister Musaddiq.

On a day of Qurban (78) two bearded Muslims wearing turbans and long robes bought a cow to kill as a sacrifice. As they were passing a Hindu quarter on their way home, a Hindu stopped them to ask them what they were going to do with the cow. When they said they were going to kill it as a sacrifice, the Hindu began to shout, "Hey, people! Help! These men are going to sacrifice our god." And the two Muslims also shouted, "O Muslims! Help! These men are going to seize our sacrifice." Hindus and Muslims gathered around the place and began to fight by using sticks and knives. Hundreds of Muslims were killed. Later, however, the two people who had been taking the cow through the Hindu quarter were seen disappearing into the British embassy. This comes to mean that this event was provoked by the British. The correspondent who relates this event adds, "We know how you spoiled Muslims' day of Qurban." With trick of this sort and innumerable other types of cruelty they tried to destroy Muslims.

Later on, when they saw that the Hindus were gradually rising against them, they began, by 1287 [A..D. 1870], to support the Muslims against the Hindus.

There appeared strange people who bore Muslim names yet who were hostile against the Ahl as-sunnat, said that it was not fard to make Jihad with the sword, said 'halal' about what Islam has prescribed to be haram, and attempted to change Islam's principles of belief. Sir Sayyid Ahmad, Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani, Abdullah Ghaznawi, Ismail-i-Dahlawi, Nazir Husain Dahlawi, Siddiq Hasan Khan Pehupali, Rashid Ahmad Kenkuhi, Wahid uz-zaman Haydar Abadi, Ashraf Ali Tahanawi, and Muhammad Ishaq, who was Shah Abd-ul-aziz's grandson, were only a few of these people. Supporting these people, the British caused the appearance of more new sects. They strove to make Muslims follow these sects.

The most notorious of these sects was the Qadiyani which was appeared in 1296 [A.D. 1879]. Its founder, Ghulam Ahmad, said it was not fard (Islam's commandment) to make Jihad (Holy War) by means of weaponry and that Jihad which was fard was advice. So did the British spy Hempher say to Muhammad of Najd.

Ghulam Ahmad was a heretic belonging to the Ismaili group. He died in 1326 [C.E. 1908]. The British hired him for a considerable sum of money. Formerly he claimed to be a Mujaddid; then he promoted this claim of being the promised Mahdi; his next step was to assert that he was Jesus the Messiah. Finally, he announced that he was a Prophet and had been revealed a new religion. He called the people he had managed to deceive his 'ummat', asserted that many ayats had foretold of him and that he displayed more miracles than had any other Prophet. He alleged that those who would not believe him were unbelievers. His sect spread among the ignorant people in Punjab and Bombay. The Qadiyani sect is still spreading under the name Ahmadiyya movement in Europe and America.

The Sunni Muslims said that it is fard to perform Jihad through arms and that it is heresy to serve the British. Muslims who preached or advised this were punished vehemently and mostly killed. The Sunnite books were gathered and destroyed.

Islamic scholars who could not be hired or would not serve the British purposes would be isolated from the Muslim community. They would not be executed lest they should become famous, but they would be given life imprisonment in the notorious dungeons on the Andaman Islands. All the Islamic scholars arrested throughout India on the pretext that they had been collaborating with the rebels during the revolution were sent to the same dungeons. [Likewise, when they invaded Istanbul after World War I, they banished the Ottoman Pashas and scholars to Malta Island].

In order that the Muslims should not notice their grudge against Islam, they received fatwas defining India as a Dar-ul-islam and not a Dar-ul-harb, and spread these fatwas everywhere.

The hypocrites whom they had trained and named scholars propagated the impression that the Ottoman Sultans were not Khalifas, that caliphate belonged to the Quraishis by right, that the Ottoman Sultans had taken possession of caliphate by force and therefore should not be obeyed.

[The hadith ash-Sharif, "The Khalifa shall be from the Quraish tribe, (from their descendants)," means, "If there are Quraishis, [e.g. Sayyids], among the people who deserve to be and fulfill the conditions for being the Khalifa, you should prefer (one of) these people." If there is not such a person, someone else should be elected. If a person has not been elected the Khalifa, or has refused to obey the elected Khalifa and has seized power by using force or violence, this person will have to be obeyed. There can be only one Khalifa on the earth. All Muslims have to obey him].

In order to extirpate religious teachings and demolish Islam from within, they opened a madrasa for the teaching of Islamic knowledge and an Islamic university in Aligarh. In these schools they educated religious men who were unaware of religion and hostile to Islam. These people caused great harms to Islam. A group of these people were chosen, sent to Britain, trained in such a way as to demolish Islam from within, and brought to government positions where they would preside over Muslims. Ayyub Khan, who was made Pakistan's president in place of M.Jinnah, was one of them.

Although the British seem to have been one of the winners of the Second World War, actually they lost the war. In fact, Britain, "a country where the sun never sets," as the British called their land, became "a country where the sun never rises" after the war. Having lost all its colonies, it was like a hen plucked for her feathers.

Ali Jinnah, who was made Pakistan's president, was a Shiite and a British fan. When he died in 1367 [A.D. 1948] Ayyub Khan, a freemason, seized power by staging a coup d'etat. Also Yahya Khan, who took this disbeliever's place, was a bigoted Shiite. When he was defeated in the war between Pakistan and India in early 1392 [C.E. 1972], he lost control of Eastern Pakistan and was imprisoned. In 1971 Yahya Khan handed the government over to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was another British agent educated and trained in Britain. In 1974, the order that he gave for the killing of his adversaries cost him his own execution.

Ziya-ul-Haqq, who took power by casting out Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was keen enough to perceive the enemies' plans to destroy Islam and annihilate Muslims; he would not carry out their desires. He endeavored for his country's improvement in science, technology and arts. Knowing very well that Islam is the only source of welfare and prosperity for individuals, for families, for the society, and for the whole nation, he was thinking of making laws compatible with the Shariat. He decided to refer this question to his people. A referendum was held and the people voted for the proposal.

The British villains did their masters another service by assassinating Ziya-ul-Haqq and all his suite. Some time later Ali Bhutto's daughter became prime minister and set free all the villains who had been imprisoned for various crimes against the State, the people, and Islam. She appointed them to high administrative levels. Tumults and conflicts commenced in Pakistan. This state of affairs was what the British desired.

After the First and Second World Wars, in many countries people who would carry out the British plans and protect the British interests were brought to high positions by the British. These countries have had their own national anthems, national flags, and presidents, yet they have never attained religious freedom.

For the last three centuries, any sort of treason committed against the Turkish and Islamic worlds has had the British plotters at its root.

They demolished the Ottoman Empire and established twenty-three big and small states on its lands. Their purpose in doing this was to hinder Muslims from establishing a powerful and great state.

They always instigated hostilities and wars among countries said to be Islamic countries. For instance, they made the nine-percent Nusayris dominant in Syria, where the Sunnis hold a majority. In 1982 the armed forces attacked the cities Hama and Humus, devastating the two cities and bombing the unarmed, defenseless Sunni Muslims.

They killed true Sunni scholars, destroyed Islamic books, including copies of Qur'an al-karim. Instead of these Islamic scholars, they brought religiously ignorant, heretical people they had schooled. Of these people:

Jamaladdin Afghani was born in Afghanistan in 1254 [A.D. 1838]. He read philosophy books. He spied on Afghanistan for the Russians. He went to Egypt, where he became a freemason and was appointed the chief of the masonic lodge. Adip Ishaq of Egypt states in his book Ed-Durar that he was the chief of Cairo masonic lodge. It is stated as follows in the hundred and twenty-seventh page of the book Les Franìo-Maìons, which was printed in France in 1960: "Jamaladdin Afghani was appointed chief of the masonic lodges founded in Egypt, and he was succeeded by Muhammad Abdoh. They provided a great deal of help in the spreading of freemasonry among Muslims."

Ali Pasha, a five-time Grand Vizier during the reigns of Sultan Abd-ul-Majid and Sultan Abd-ul-'Aziz, was a freemason affiliated with the British lodge. He invited Afghani to Istanbul. He gave him some duties. The time's Istanbul University Rector, Hasan Tahsin, who had been declared a heretic through a fatwa, had Afghani deliver speeches. Hasan Tahsin had, in his turn, been trained by the Grand Vizier Mustafa Rashid Pasha, an affiliated member of the British masonic lodge. Afghani strove to spread his heretical ideas far and wide. Hasan Fehmi Effendi, the time's Shaikh-ul-islam, confuted Afghani and proved that he was a heretical ignoramus; hence, Ali Pasha had to expel him from Istanbul. This time he tried to promulgate his ideas of revolution and religious reformation in Egypt. He pretended to support the plotters of A'Rabi Pasha against the British. He made friends with Muhammad Abdoh, who was the Mufti of Egypt in those days. He corrupted him with his ideas of making reforms in Islam. Supported by masonic lodges, he began to issue a periodical in Paris and London. Then he went to Iran. He would not behave properly there, either. Consequently, he was fastened with chains and left somewhere on the Ottoman border. Freed somehow, he went to Baghdad, and thence to London, where he wrote articles castigating Iran. Then he went back to Istanbul and used religion as a means for political ends by cooperating with the Bahais in Iran.

The most notorious of the victims who fell for Jamaladdin Afghani's propagations intended to demolish Islam from within under the cloak of a religious man, was Muhammad Abdoh, born in Egypt in 1265 [A.D. 1849], and died there in 1323 [C.E. 1905]. Spending a part of his life in Beirut, he left for Paris, where he joined Jamaladdin Afghani's activities prescribed by masonic lodges. They began to issue a periodical named Al-urwat- ul-Wuthqa. Then he came back to Beirut and Egypt, endeavoring to carry out in these places the decisions made by the Paris masonic lodge. Backed by the British, he became the Mufti of Cairo and assumed an offensive attitude towards the Ahl as-sunnat. The first step he took in this way was to defile and spoil the curricula in the Jami'ul azhar madrasa, thus hindering the teaching of valuable religious lore to the younger generation. He had the lessons being taught at the university level abrogated and put into their curricula the teaching of books that were currently being taught in the secondary level. Stripping the schools of their capacity as places of knowledge on the one hand, he, on the other hand, vituperated the Islamic scholars, pledged that these scholars hindered the teaching of scientific knowledge, and claimed that he would enrich Islam by adding this knowledge to it. He wrote a book entitled Islam and Christianity, in which he says, "All religions are the same. They are different only in their outward appearance. Jews, Christians and Muslims should support one another." In a letter he wrote to a priest in London, he says, "I hope to see the two great religions, Islam and Christianity, hand-in-hand, embracing each other. Then the Torah and the Bible and the Koran will become books supporting one another, being read everywhere, and respected by every nation." He adds that he is looking forward to seeing Muslims read the Torah and the Bible.

In his interpretation of Qur'an al-karim, which he wrote in cooperation with Shaltut, the director of Jami'ul azhar, he gives the fatwa stating that bank interest is permissible. Later on, fearing that this might incur the wrath of Muslims, he pretended to have withdrawn from this opinion.

Hanna Abu Rashid, president of the masonic lodges in Beirut, makes the following acknowledgement in the hundred and ninety-seventh page of his book Daira-tul-ma'arif- ul-masoniyya which he published in 1381 [A.D. 1961]: "Jamaladdin Afghani was the chief of the masonic lodge in Egypt. The lodge had nearly three hundred members, most of them were scholars and statesmen. After him Muhammad Abdoh, the imam, the master, became the chief. Abdoh was a great freemason. No one could deny the fact that he promoted the masonic spirit all over the Arabic countries."

Another most notorious disbeliever whom the British propagate as an Islamic scholar all over India is Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan. He was born in Delhi in 1234 [A.D. 1818]. His father had migrated to India during the reign of Akbar Shah. In 1837 he began to work as a secretary for his paternal uncle, a judge at a British law court in Delhi. He was made a judge in 1841 and was promoted to a higher judgeship in 1855.

Another so-called religious man educated by the British in India is Hamidullah. He was born in 1326 [A.D. 1908] in Haydarabad, where the Ismaili group were the majority. He was brought up in the Ismaili group and, therefore, as a fanatical adversary of the Ahl as-sunnat. He is a member of the research institution called CNRS in Paris. He strives to introduce Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' as the Prophet for Muslims only.

In their war to annihilate Islam, the most effective weapon the British used for deceiving Muslims zealous for serving their country and nation was the method of propagating that Islam should be adapted to time, modernized and restored to its original purity, which again was intended to establish an irreligious society. The Shaikh-ul-islam Mustafa Sabri Effendi, a great Islamic savant, was one of the people who perceived this very well. By stating, "To abrogate the Madhhabs means to build a bridge leading to irreligiousness," he elucidated what their real purposes were.

The British and the other enemies of Islam endeavored assiduously to corrupt the Darwish convents and paths of Tasawwuf. They strove hard to annihilate Ikhlas,which is the third component of the Shariat. The superior leaders of Tasawwuf never busied themselves with politics, nor would they expect any worldly advantages from anybody. Most of those great people were profoundly learned mujtahids. For 'tasawwuf' means to follow the way guided by Muhammad 'alaihis-salam'. In other words, it means to strictly observe the Shariat in whatever one says or does, in everything. However, for a long time, ignorant, sinful people, and even foreign agents, in order to attain their vile goals, have instituted divers guilds by using the names of great men of Tasawwuf, and thus caused the Islamic religion and its Shariat to collapse, to deteriorate. Dhikr, (for instance), means to remember Allahu ta'ala. This is essentially the heart's business. Dhikr purifies the heart of any sort of love except that of Allahu ta'ala, such as love of the world or of other creatures, and thus love of Allah settles firmly in the heart. It is not dhikr for a number of people, men and women, to come together and articulate some strange sounds in the name of dhikr. The way followed by those superior men of religion, by the Ashab-i- kiram, has already been forgotten. Sins have been committed in the name of worshipping. So much so that, especially recently, there is next to no Darwish convent left where wrongdoing and sins have not entered, where heretical practices such as Shi'a have not penetrated. These practices carried on in the name of Tasawwuf have become the most effective weapons in demolishing the Shariat. Music has been inserted into Darwish convents. Playing musical instruments, singing, men and women dancing together hand-in-hand and without even women covering themselves, and all other eccentricities of this sort have been called worships. Concepts such as 'Turkish Religious Music' and 'Music of Tasawwuf' have been fabricated.

Today there is virtually no scholar of Tasawwuf in Istanbul, in Asia Minor, in Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria or Hedjaz, or in any other Islamic country. There are, however, quite a number of sham murshids and men of tasawwuf exploiting credulous Muslims. The closing of the Darwish convents in Turkey meant closing of the sinning dens where people of doubtful origins had been meeting and slandering the real great men of Tasawwuf. An example of these things is still being seen today on some occasions, such as on the Mawlana Jalaladdin-i Rumi 'quddisa sirruh' memorial day, when some people who are no more than ordinary sinners who drink alcohol and committing atrocities in the open cry religious chants and whirl in a so-called religious ecstacy. Upon watching these things, people who are unlearned in religious matters think that Islam means doing these things.

As it is seen, British agents and missionaries first corrupted these homes of knowledge, sagacity and beautiful morality, and then, on the pretext that they were places of depravity, they abrogated not only the corrupt ones but also the ones that had not been adulterated. All the sects founded by the British, such as Wahhabism, religious eclecticism and reformism, and the Salafiyya sect, embody a systematic hostility against Tasawwuf.

Enemies of Islam, particularly the British, employed all sorts of methods to retard Muslims in science and technology. Muslims were hampered from trade and arts. Atrocities such as alcoholic spirits, indecencies, revels and gambling were encouraged and popularized in order to spoil the beautiful moral qualities existent in Islamic countries and to annihilate Islamic civilizations. Byzantine, Armenian and other non-Muslim women were employed as agents for depraving people. Young girls were lured into losing their chastity by means of resplendent decoys, such as fashion houses, dance courses, and schools for training mannequins and actresses. Muslim parents still do have very much to do in this respect. They have to be wide awake so as not to let their children fall into the traps set by these impious people.

Towards its declining years, the Ottoman Empire sent students and statesmen out to Europe. Some of these students and statesmen were persuaded into joining masonic lodges. Those who were to learn science and technology were taught techniques for demolishing Islam and the Ottoman Empire. Of these people who did the greatest harm to the Empire and to Muslims was Mustafa Rashid Pasha. His stay in London was entirely appropriated to disciplining him as an avowed and insidious enemy of Islam. He cooperated with the Scottish masonic lodges. It was too late when the Sultan, Mahmud Khan, took heed of Mustafa Rashid Pasha treacherous acts and ordered that he be executed; for the remainder of his lifetime was not long enough for him to have his order carried out. After the Sultan's passing away, Mustafa Rashid Pasha and his colleagues returned to Istanbul and did Islam and Muslims the severest harm they had ever suffered.

Abd-ul-majid Han, who became the Padishah in 1255 [A.D. 1839], was in his eighteenth year yet. He was too young and quite inexperienced. Nor did any of the scholars around him warn him. It was this state that caused the deplorable turning point in the Ottoman history and brought the whole Empire to a declining rhythm from which it could never recover. The gullible, pure-hearted young Emperor fell for the cajolery of the British, the formidable and insidious enemies of Islam, and appointed the ignoramuses trained by t
