Since the defeat and retreat of the Ottoman Turks from the Balkans in 1878, Muslims have faced repeated humiliations at the hands of western colonial powers. Islamic Iran’s valiant resistance against the US-zionist evil duo and defeating them has washed away the shame of 150 years.
That Islamic Iran won the war—convincingly—against the US and Israel is confirmed by the MoU. Iran can now sell its oil and related products in the international market, sanctions have been lifted, its frozen assets released and it will control the Strait of Hormuz.
Islamic Iran has no nulcear bomb. It does not have any plans to make one yet western propaganda instigated by zionist Israel would make one believe that it is on the verge of making one. If a nuclear bomb is such a bad idea, why do western regimes and Israel have it?
Dr Kalim Siddiqui was an intellectual and activist. He articulated a vision for Muslim societies 50 years ago that still resonates powerfully today. He wanted to radically change Muslim societies eliminating dependence on the west. His work continues through the ICIT.
Among all of the Prophet’s (ﷺ) companions, Imam Ali was the closest to him. Related by blood, brought up in his house and married to his daughter, Imam Ali did not become the Khalifah when the Prophet (ﷺ) joined heavenly company. Abu Dharr explains the details.
Zionist Israel continues its policy of genocide and starvation of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip. These crimes are compunded by the zionists’ sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners held in their dungeons.
Article 1 of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the US and Iran stipulates that a ceasefire will go into effect on all fronts, including Lebanon. The zionist war criminals continue to violate this provision with impunity. The US appears unwilling or unable to stop the zionists.
Zionist insistence on maintaining control of parts of South Lebanon as a “security zone” is a trap that will create perpetual insecuirty for them. Further, the occupation legitimizes Hizbullah existence as a resistance force defending Lebanon’s independence.
All of Iran’s neighbours to the west of the Persian Gulf have maintained US military bases from where attacks on Iran have been launched. While the Arab regimes’ policies are not uniform, some appear more hostile than others.
It is mindboggling that the illegitimate Pakistani regime installed in power by the thuggish generals should not only attack and kill the Kashmiris residing in Azad (‘Free’) Kashmir but also block food and medicines following the zionist playbook in Gaza.
Crescent International is not a journal that seeks balance or claims neutrality. It is committed to truth and justice reflecting the hopes and aspirations of the global Islamic movement. It fears and favours no one except Allah. That makes it unique among a host of other media outlets.
Stages of Islamic Revolution was the last book Dr Kalim Siddiqui published before his death a few days later. It is not about the Islamic Revolution in Iran but about how to bring about similar revolutions in other parts of the Muslim world and what steps need to be taken to do so.
The west’s hegemony on other societies is maintained through a variety of means. Language is powerful tool utilized in this quest. Islamic Iran is referred to as a “regime” but Arabian dictatorships are monarchies. West Asia is referred to as the Middle East. Muslims must wisen up.
The vast majority of Muslims—Sunnis and Shi‘is—support the Islamic Republic of Iran but not ideologically. Their support is based on issues: Islamic Iran’s call for Muslim unity or its support for the Palestinian resistance movement. Muslims need to mak the ideological leap.
In his continuing series, Mohamed Ousman differentiates support for the Islamic Resistance Axis with endorsement of the concept of Walayat al-Faqih. The two are very different in Islamic political discourse.
Why some Sunni scholars, even those otherwise known to be knowledgeable about the Qur’an, are unable to understand that the concept of Walayat al-Faqih is just as valid as the Khilafah that they yearn for. While the Khilafah remains a distant dream, the Walayat al-Faqih is a reality.
