He was born in 1982 in Sumter, South Carolina. He is of French Canadian and American descent. He was born into a Christian family, and later chose to revert to Shi’a Islam at the age of 17, having studied both faiths. After reverting to Islam he chose the name Mateen which in Arabic means strong, firm and unshakeable. His first language is English and he also learned Quranic Arabic. At age 26 he moved to Washington, DC and has been an active part of the Muslim community. He took part in a documentary by Al- Anwar Hussain TV entitled “Journey of the Spirit” where he narrated his incredible story on how he became a Shia Muslim. In 2012 he had the opportunity to travel with the members of Al- Anwar Hussain TV to visit the Holy shrines of Imam Ali (as) and Imam Hussain (as) in Iraq for Ziyarat Arbaeen. He has also compiled and published a very in-depth book entitled The Suffering of the Ahl ul Bayt and their Followers (Shia) throughout History and Christians who defended and died for Prophet Muhammad and his Family both titles are available at Amazon and www.mateenjc.wordpress.com 5 Preface In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful, may Allah shower His blessings on our beloved Prophet Muhammad and his Purified Household. May Allah open our eyes and bestow on us the baseera (insight) to see the truth and an open heart to accept it. May Allah hasten the reappearance of our awaited savior, Imam Mahdi and allow us to be among his humble devoted followers. May we see the time when he will make apparent to everyone the true teachings of Islam as they were taught by his grandfather the Prophet of Allah (saw) and not the Islam that was changed by the corrupt rulers and dictators to fit their desires. May Allah continue to bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and may He remove His Mercy from those who bear enmity towards them. إِ ﱠن اﻟﱠ ِﺬ َﯾﻦ ﻓَﺘَﻨُﻮا ْاﻟ ُﻤ ْﺆ ِﻣﻨِ َﯿﻦ َو ْاﻟ ُﻤ ْﺆ ِﻣﻨَ ِﺎت ﺛُ ﱠﻢ ﻟَ ْﻢ ﯾَﺘُﻮﺑُﻮا ﻓَﻠَ ْﮭُﻢ َﻋ َﺬابُ َﺟﮭَﻨﱠ َﻢ َوﻟَ ْﮭُﻢ َﻋ َﺬابُ ْاﻟ َﺤ ِﺮ ِﯾﻖ “Surely those who tormented the believing men and the believing women and then did not repent, theirs shall be the punishment of Hell, and theirs shall be the burning punishment.”1 Imam Baqir (as) said “Since the death of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) we Ahl ul bayt have been humiliated, made distant and have been deprived and killed and made to leave our home town and we felt frightened for our blood and the blood of our followers. The cheaters, through their lies, got nearer to the leaders, judges and governors in every city and our enemies told false and invalid traditions relating to their past leaders and quoted riwayah (narrations) that we had never told. They only wanted to humiliate us and wanted to accuse us of falsehood, and wanted to get nearer to their leaders through lies. After the passing away of Hasan (a.s) this became very common during the time of Muawiyah. At that time, in every city, Shias were 1 Quran 85:10 6 killed, their hands and feet were cut off and they were hanged on accusations of their being near to us and talking about their love for us.Then after that adversities increased in numbers and strength, from the martyrdom of Husayn (a.s) until the time of ibn Ziyad. Then came Hajjaj and he killed them (Shia of Ali) for every doubt and accusation until it was said that this person (Shia) was Zindiq (atheist) and majusi (Zoroastrian) and Hajjaj liked it better that these words be used rather than say that they were Shia of Husayn, peace be upon him.”2 ۡ ﻧَۡﺘﻠُ ْﻮا َﻋﻠَۡﯿ َﻚ ِﻣﻦ ﻧﱠﺒَﺈِ ُﻣ َﻮﺳ ٰﻰ َوﻓِ ۡﺮ َﻋ ۡﻮ َن ﺑِﭑﻟ َﺤ ﱢﻖ ﻟِﻘَ ۡﻮ ٍ۟م ﯾُ ۡﺆ ِﻣﻨُ َﻮن (٣) إِ ﱠن ﻓِ ۡﺮ َﻋ ۡﻮ َن َﻋ َﻼ ﻓِﻰ ۡ ۟ ۟ ۡ ٱﻷَ ۡر ِض َو َﺟ َﻌ َﻞ أَ ۡھﻠَﮭَﺎ ِﺷﯿَ ًﻌﺎ ﯾَ ۡﺴﺘَ ۡﻀ ِﻌ ُﻒ َطﺎٓ ِٕٮﻔَﺔً ﱢﻣﻨﮩُﻢۡ َﯾُﺬﺑﱢﺢُ أَۡﺑﻨَﺎٓ َءھُﻢۡ َوﯾَ ۡﺴﺘَ ۡﺤ ِﻰۦ ﻧِ َﺴﺎٓ َءھُﻢۡ ۚ إِﻧﱠ ﮫُۥ ۡ ۡ ۡ ۟ َﻛ َﺎن ِﻣ َﻦ ٱﻟ ُﻤﻔ ِﺴ ِﺪ َﯾﻦ (٤) َوﻧُ ِﺮ ُﯾﺪ أَن ﻧﱠ ُﻤ ﱠﻦ َﻋﻠَﻰ ٱﻟﱠ ِﺬ َﯾﻦ ۡٱﺳﺘُ ۡﻀ ِﻌﻔُ ْﻮا ﻓِﻰ ٱﻷَ ۡر ِض َوﻧَ ۡﺠ َﻌﻠَﮭُﻢۡ أَ ِٕٮ ﱠﻤﺔً ۡ ۡ َوﻧَ ۡﺠ َﻌﻠَ ُﮭُﻢ ٱﻟ َﻮ ِٲرﺛِ َﯿﻦ (٥) َوﻧُ َﻤ ﱢﻜ َﻦ ﻟَﮭُﻢۡ ﻓِﻰ ٱﻷَ ۡر ِض َوﻧُ ِﺮ َى ﻓِ ۡﺮ َﻋ ۡﻮ َن َوھَٰـ َﻤ ٰـ َﻦ َوﺟُﻨُ َﻮدھُ َﻤﺎ ِﻣ ۡﻨﮭُﻢ ﱠﻣﺎ َڪﺎﻧُﻮ ْا ﯾَ ۡﺤ َﺬُرو َن (٦) “Lo!

  • The Fire of 884/1479 at the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus and an Account of Its Restoration
    DORIS BEHRENS-ABOUSEIF SCHOOL OF ORIENTAL AND AFRICAN STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF LONDON The Fire of 884/1479 at the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus and an Account of Its Restoration Among the series of fires that are reported to have hit the Umayyad Mosque of Damascus during its pre-modern history, the fire of 884/1479 is so far the least known.1 The well-known sources for this period, such as the contemporary Cairene chronicles of Ibn Iya≠s and al-S˛ayraf|, do not mention it; nor does al-Sakha≠w| refer to the subsequent substantial restoration of the Umayyad Mosque in his long list of Qa≠ytba≠y's construction and renovation works.2 The Syrian historian Ibn T˛u≠lu≠n (880–953/1476–1546), whose chronicle starts in 884, the same year when the fire broke out, when he was still a child, refers only briefly to the restoration works that followed this fire.3 In his biographical dictionary of the viceroys of Damascus, however, he does not include any reference to this fire under the entry of Qa≠ns˝u≠h al-Yah˝a≠w|, the viceroy in charge at that time.4 However, a detailed description of the catastrophe and the following restoration works can be found in the chronicle H˛awa≠dith al-Zama≠n wa-Wafaya≠t al-Shuyu≠kh wa-al-Aqra≠n by the Damascene historian Ah˝mad ibn Muh˝ammad ibn ‘Umar al- Middle East Documentation Center.

Imam Hussein derives his glory from of the Messenger of Allah Muhammad Peace be upon him. In fact, I do not find much trouble in a flow of ideas which follows one idea after the other about the wonderful example in steadfastness on the right. And I am thirsty for the moment when the article will be finished to start reading it again. When I started in my writing, I did not know much about the subject, but when I read the references and resources and studied the details of Imam's life, I was surprised with many meanings that added a lot to my personality. When we talk about this great person we must mention the environment in which he grew up and the family from which he descended. They are a family of the Prophet Muhammad (Ahl Albeit), , who are distinguished by good deeds, redemption and sacrifice, the reason for their preference was their commitment to the method of God and they paid precious cost to become the word of God is the highest. َ ََّ ُ ْ َ ْ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ُ َ ْ )1( )إن َما ُيريد ُالله لُيذه َب عنك ُم َّالر ْج َس أهل ال َبْيت َو ُيط َّه َرك ْم تطه ًيرا( ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ The Holy Prophet Muhammad has recommended all Muslims to love (Ahl Albeit) and keep them in mind.

Surrender and Realisation: Imam Ali on the Conditions for True Religious Understanding James Morris Do not seek to know the Truth (al-Haqq) according to other people. Rather first come to know the Truth—and only then will you recognise Its people.1 One of the most striking characteristics about those surviving oral traditions that have come down to us from the earliest periods of each of the world-religions—as with the Gospels, the earliest Buddhist teachings, or the Prophetic hadith—is the distinctive directness, simplicity, and extreme concision of those original oral teachings. It is as though everything else that follows is only a kind of endlessly extended commentary on those few simple words. Certainly this is true of many of the surviving sayings attributed to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (d. 40/660)— including the short, but highly memorable passage that is the focus of this study, which has inspired repeated commentaries and elaborate theological and even dramatic interpretations down through the centuries. The wider significance of this particular passage is that it illustrates so perfectly Ali's emblematic role as the fountainhead of virtually all the esoteric traditions of Islamic spirituality, both among the many 1 A well-known saying commonly attributed to Ali, here as cited by al-Ghazali at the beginning of his famous spiritual autobiography, the Munqidh min al-Daial.

  • Make This Your Best Ramadan Yet! in the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
    A DAILY PLANNER AND GUIDE FOR ALL AGES! 3655 Wheeler Ave Alexandria, VA 22304 IRUSA.ORG 1-855-447-1001 Tax ID# 95-4453134 Make this your best Ramadan yet! in the name of allah, the most gracious, the most merciful All thanks and praise is due to Allah alone, the Lord of the Worlds. We praise Him, seek refuge with Him, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our souls, and the mistakes in our actions. Whomever Allah Guides, there is none who can misguide him, and whoever Allah misguides, there is none who can guide him. Verily, there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah, and Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger. Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) reminds us in the Qur’an that the month of Ramadan contains limited precious days — with an extraordinary opportunity to reach out and connect to Him. He tells us of this powerfully, All the actions of people are for them, except for fasting. Fasting is for Me and it is I who rewards it. Hence the purpose of this month is Allah — and Allah (swt) alone. Fasting is a means to attain nearness to Him. Keeping this in mind, we must make the most of these days. The best way to take advantage of Ramadan is to develop a Ramadan action plan — because a failure to plan is a plan for failure. If you don’t set goals, it gets difficult to measure yourself and assess the current state of your worship.

  • Women in the Mosque: Historical Perspectives on Segregation Nevin Reda
    Women in the Mosque: Historical Perspectives on Segregation Nevin Reda Abstract This paper deals with the issue of women’s full or partial access to the mosque from 610-925. This period is divided into two timeframes. The first, 610-34, consists mainly of the time in which the Prophet was active in Makkah and Madinah. The second, 634-925, is the period beginning with `Umar’s reign to the time when the Hadith literature was written down and set into the well-known compilations. Two types of evidence are examined for both periods: material and textual records. Material records consist of the layout of the various mosques, where the existence or absence of dividing walls or separate entrances could be important clues. Textual records consist mainly of the Qur’an and Hadith literature. The Qur’an is used as a primary source for the first period, whereas the Hadith literature is used as a primary source for the second period. The Hadith is used to distinguish trends and directions in the Muslim community after the demise of the Prophet, rather than as a source of information on the Prophet himself. This avoids problems of authenticity, while not denying that much of the Hadith may well be authentic. From the primary sources available for the first period, there does not appear to be any evidence of segregation; rather the evidence indicates that women had full access to the mosque. In the second period, three trends appear: a pro-segregation trend, an anti-segregation trend, and a trend that sought to prohibit women from going to the mosque altogether.

  • Making Sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: a Social Movement Perspective
    \ WORKING PAPER 6\ 2017 Making sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: A social movement perspective Katja Mielke \ BICC Nick Miszak \ TLO Joint publication by \ WORKING PAPER 6 \ 2017 MAKING SENSE OF DAESH IN AFGHANISTAN: A SOCIAL MOVEMENT PERSPECTIVE \ K. MIELKE & N. MISZAK SUMMARY So-called Islamic State (IS or Daesh) in Iraq and Syria is widely interpreted as a terrorist phenomenon. The proclamation in late January 2015 of a Wilayat Kho- rasan, which includes Afghanistan and Pakistan, as an IS branch is commonly interpreted as a manifestation of Daesh's global ambition to erect an Islamic caliphate. Its expansion implies hierarchical order, command structures and financial flows as well as a transnational mobility of fighters, arms and recruits between Syria and Iraq, on the one hand, and Afghanistan–Pakistan, on the other. In this Working Paper, we take a (new) social movement perspective to investigate the processes and underlying dynamics of Daesh’s emergence in different parts of the country. By employing social movement concepts, such as opportunity structures, coalition-building, resource mobilization and framing, we disentangle the different types of resource mobilization and long-term conflicts that have merged into the phenomenon of Daesh in Afghanistan. In dialogue with other approaches to terrorism studies as well as peace, civil war and security studies, our analysis focuses on relations and interactions among various actors in the Afghan-Pakistan region and their translocal networks. The insight builds on a ten-month fieldwork-based research project conducted in four regions—east, west, north-east and north Afghanistan—during 2016. We find that Daesh in Afghanistan is a context-specific phenomenon that manifests differently in the various regions across the country and is embedded in a long- term transformation of the religious, cultural and political landscape in the cross-border region of Afghanistan–Pakistan.
