Concerns of the Islamic Scholar During the Month of Ramadan

Allah Almighty declares in the Quran:
Verily, [O you who believein Me,] this community of yours is one
single community, since I am the Sustainer of you all: worship, then
Me [alone]' (21:92).
He further explains:
'All believers are but brethren' (49:10)
As for the Prophet sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam, he clarified the
nature of the relationship between Muslims in this famous hadith:
'The example of the Muslims in their love and mercy for each other is
likethe body. If one part is afflicted, all the other partsrally to
its aid with fever and sleeplessness.'
Today Muslims pass this month of Ramadan in transgression and crises.
Capitalism is rife with greed. It directs its hostility against the
Islamic world with intellectual onslaughts. The foremost means toward
this is through women, wine and other enticements, distractions,
luxuries and unlawful amusements.
Secularism calls for the separation between the religion and worldly
affairs. It seeks to oust Islam from life's stage on the pretext that
religion distinguishes between people. In effect, secularism is an
atheist ideology that disregards all religions and, therefore,excludes
Islam in its entirety from playing any role in human life.
Freemasonry, the Jewish creation, has come to destroy religions
including Islam. On the surface it appears to be calling for the unity
of all people. It has its own means, taboos,emblems and cliques. It
operates in secret, has world-wide influence and springs from Zionist
origins. Hence today the Islamic nation suffers from intensewounds:
Palestine has been stolen from it, Al Aqsa mosque remains a hostage
while old men, women and children are slaughtered morning and evening.
Yet, Palestine will never be returned to the Muslim lands except by an
Islam with the rage of Umar ibn al Khattab, the boldness of Salah al
Din and the sincerity of Ibn Taymiya.
The Muslim woman is fought against because of her covering, modesty,
purity and religion.
Our young men are seduced by destructive means, satanic enticements
and sensual delights.
Evangelism is penetrating the Islamic world from all four directions.
Divisions and schisms are widespread among Muslims except those whom
Allah has shielded.
In the circumstances, whatis required is that the Muslim should live
for these great issues with his sentiments, wealth and prayers. He
should strive to increase awareness among his Muslim brothers of these
dangers. The Muslim should work relentlessly to bring about unity
within the ranks of his own community. More importantly, the Islamic
nation must avoid disputes and internal wrangling that only cause
failure; particularly when the news of these calamities that afflict
the Islamic world are exposed and become the issues of the day. As a
result, no Muslim should despise himself because in every Muslim there
is good. Indeed, every Muslim is expected to struggle if he or she is
able and to stop making excuses. They must strive with their persons
and their wealth. If not, with their wealth and the support of others
who spend of their wealth to advance the cause of Islam. They should,
at the end of each prayer, in the early hours of the morning, and
other times when prayers are answered, implore Allah toestablish and
grant victoryto the Muslims. We must, moreover, all call upon Allah to
increase us in piety and God-consciousness because the disasters and
calamities that have befallen us are all on account of our sins and
shortcomings. 'And do you,now that a calamity has befallen you after
you had inflicted twice as much [onyour foes], ask yourselves
"How has this come about?" Say: "It has come from your own selves"' (3:165)
