Rising Again

Congratulations for Laylatul Qader (the Night of Power)!

On the event of this splendid night, I am presenting a new gift --the revival of DailyMuslims.com. After a sabbatical year, DailyMuslims.com is revived with refreshing energy and focused dedication.

Muslims Weekly, New York-Tri-state print edition, was closed in April 2006. The web edition of Daily Muslims was closed in the last days of September 2006. There was no other option left at that time due to specific circumstances. Financial constraints and heavy debts were the main reason. But a life-long commitment to journalism brought me back. I am requesting that each of you promise, pledge, and swear that you will become a part of our team as a reader, writer, supporter, promoter, or advertiser.

Any kind of journalistic, marketing, or technological help that you can provide to this media will be of immense benefit. By keeping our presence in New York, I personally moved further north and am now living in Toronto, Canada. A poet of the East, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, said in Urdu, “Jahan Mein Ahl e Iman Surat e Khursheed Jiten Hain, Idhar Dube Udhar Nikle Udhar Doobe Idhar Nikle,” which means, “The people of faith live in this world like the sun; if it sets at this side, it rises from another side, and if it sets from another side, it rises from this side.”

We as a whole humanity are moving fast towards the final destruction in the most evil controlled world. The terrorist states already leveled several countries and destroyed the nations and killed people, resulting in mountainous tolls of dead bodies. They are torturing innocents in the concentration cells throughout the world. They are using their military, economy, media, health practitioners, psychologists and all their resources for this purpose.

Muslim blood is the cheapest. Practically the whole world is now the killing ground of Muslims. The imperial power, their evil partners and their agents are using the word “terrorist” for practicing Muslims and “terrorism” for the Islam of the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him).

The puppet slave rulers of the Muslim world, like Musharraf and Karzai, are using all brutal methods to crush all those who are not ready to surrender to the imperialist evil designs of the terrorist states.

Under these circumstances, if we will not rise up, if we will not speak out, if we will not outreach, if we will not write, if we will not record, if we will not cry, if we will not pray, then we will all be losers in both this world and hereafter. Allah will not see kindly towards us and Muhammad (peace upon him) will refuse us the honor of being a part of his Ummah (faith community).

Unfortunately, we are quickly approaching this lost destiny. We can change our fate by deciding tonight.

On the Night of Power, which has the rewards of a thousands months, is the right moment to decide. If you revive your faith tonight and make your belief firm that Allah (blessed and exalted is He) is the Supreme Power, the Mighty, the Creator, Sovereign, the Ruler, the King, the Omnipresent, the Sustainer and Provider, the Giver, the Protector, the Exalter, the Just, most Loving, Merciful and the Compassionate, and that Muhammad (peace upon him) is the last messenger of God and the leader of all humanity, all your problems and fears will be evaporated.

The purpose of this news portal is to jerk you to move forward. Stay and stand with your faith without any compromise, without any adjustment, and without showing any weakness. Never surrender to any non-god. This is my only message in this Night of Power.
