Capitalism is…cannibalism
Capitalism is…cannibalism
My heart soars when I listen to this recitation of Surah ad-Duha by the late Qari Abdul Basit Abdus Samad. Test your heart and see if it is still alive.
The keys to the life of the heart lie in reflecting upon the Qur’an, being humble before Allah SWT in secret, and leaving sins

Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah

The story of Zainab
This is a video presentation of a poem by Ahmed al-Kandari, a poet from Kuwait. He tells the story of our sister, Zainab. She was arrested by the filthy Syrian regime of the animal, Bashar al-Assad. She was brutally beaten, humiliated, tortured, mutilated and then decapitated for no reason other than the fact that she, like so many others, simply wanted her rights.
Let me ask if it is possible to watch this video without tears, bitter rage and motivation to work for real change streaming from you in equal measure. If you watch it without such reaction then why not ask your Lord to give you a new heart? Your current one is dead.

The people of Egypt are marking the first anniversary of the uprising against the regime of Mubarak. The world’s media are trying to portray the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) as ‘Islamist’, as if they really want to implement Islam. They don’t.
Katatni, who has just been elected as speaker of the assembly says they don’t even want one faction to lead, in an assembly of liberals, Western agents and freedom-lovers. This won’t lead to Islam.
If a party wins the most the most seats, gets its own guy elected as speaker and can rely on support from the second largest bloc and still acts like a bunch of cowards then what hope is there for the Muslims who still hope for Islam through democracy? None.
UK national debt just passed £1 trillion. Ask yourself, with savage financial cuts biting the public sector, how the debt has increased. The debt is increasing!
The Spectator comments “In the first 19 months since it took over, the coalition Government added £225 billion to the £779 billion debt it inherited. And it’s projected to rack up another £390 billion by the next election”. The UK will never pay that all back. In fact it may never get its public debt back below a trillion ever again. However, the UK still retains its untouchable AAA credit rating amidst a crisis across Western economies.
The vision of Western economic power and credibility is an illusion.
Capitalism…bringing you lower quality and fewer choices since the 16th Century
Crime in Britain
The British Crime Survey recently showed crime in Britain is rising so here’s a few thoughts. Crime was already sky-high a few years ago. It’s so high a website to check local crime statistics jammed when too many worried citizens tried to check.
The UK has too many prisoners. They were even considering prison ships. There’s loads of problems in prisons including far too many drugs. People even break into prison to get drugs to buyers. Then we had riots across the UK. Unfortunately the statistics were fiddled because the police and Government have to be careful of public opinion so the statistics don’t show a massive spike.
Things are a mess so ask yourself will ignoring the decline in moral values in favour of an individualistic pursuit of self-interest (capitalism), privatisation of prisons (capitalism) or Coalition Government cuts to frontline policing just to protect Britain’s credit rating (capitalism) help?
