The Press Release on the Attack Against two Mosques in New Zealand

Surely, we are Allah’s, and surely to Him we shall return.

A group of xenophobic terrorists attacked Muslims who were praying in two mosques in New Zealand, in which around 50 innocent civilian Muslims were killed and more than 40 injured.

We condemn this act of terrorism, which has arisen from malicious xenophobia, and we call upon relevant parties to the following:
Firstly, the protection of the mosques and Islamic institutions and places of worship, and ensuring their right to safely and securely worship and practice their rituals of faith.

Secondly, to stand up against this xenophobic thinking which is another face of terrorism, and to follow up on those parties who are feeding it and supporting it, and to punish them appropriately, taking into regard the vicious crimes that have arisen from such hatred.

We pay our condolences to the families of the victims, and to all the Muslims living those lands, and we supplicate to the Almighty to heal hastily those injured and wounded, for He is the Most Merciful.

And there is no power and no might, save that of God’s.

Day Questions

If during the first day of the menstruation a woman has menstrual bleeding, and then no bleeding for two days, and the following day she sees the bleeding for two days again, is it necessary for her to observe the rules of menstruation during the clear days?

In this situation, the woman should have the ghusl of menstruation and she offer the prayers during the clean days. If she did not do so then she must offer the prayers as qadha. She should consider the periods of bleeding as menstruation, even if they were separated by clean periods.

I have been asking many religious scholars about the signs of the re-appearance of our Imam, since all the signs (mostly) have been observed in the present days. I would like to know from you.

Nobody knows the precise time except Almighty Allah and there is no need to search that as long as we cannot find out.

Is the Hadith-e-Kisa Authentic?

There are many narrations that report that the Prophet gathered his household under the ‘Kisa’ – a cloak – which indicate clearly that the incident took place. The narrations are different in the exact wording. At the ending of the book of Mafatih al-Jinan, there is one version of this narration from some hadith books.

Can you please tell me the signs of the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him)?

It appears from some of the narrations that there are three inevitable signs. They are: the rising of the sun from the west, and the cry from the sky that will declare the reappearance of the Imam, and the swallowing of the earth in the desert. Other signs are possible. There is no doubt that Almighty Allah will establish undoubted clear evidence when he reappears, so it is better to delay paying attention to these issues to their designated times and not rushing to conclusions in this Godly matter, since He will clarify it at its appropriate time.
