Book Description
Muslims everywhere are going through a period of uncertainty, turmoil and suffering. Throughout the world, there appears to be a concerted effort to wipe out the very presence of Muslims. Bosnia, Somalia, Algeria are the better known examples of this onslaught, but Muslims are under attack in many other countries Kashmir, Cambodia, Burma are examples.
In South Africa, too, Muslims live in uncertainty. The country experiencing a period of lawlessness and anarchy. There is an undermining fear of the future. Questions abound:
"What should we do?" "Should we vote?" "Whom should we vote for?" "Why do not we get guidance from theUlema?" Islam does provide an answer, but the answers for Muslims are different from the answers for non-believers. The causes for the elevation or degradation of Muslims are not the same as they are for non-Muslims.
A student of Sheikh-ul-Hadith, Hazrat Maulana Zakarriya Saheb, asked seven questions. Hazrat Sheikh's reply was published in a kitaab answers to the problems we are facing, but serves as a guide according to which a Muslim's life can be conducted.
It should be read and re-read. It should be studied carefully, so that full benefit can be derived from the advice and guidance of Hazrat Sheikh.
May Allah Ta' ala fill the graves of all our pious elders with noor, particularly the grave of Hazrat Sheikh-ul-Hadith, (Rahmatullah Alayh). May He grant them a high place in Jannat and my he create in our hearts true love for Allah Ta'ala and His Rasul (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). May He make all of us think of and live our lives for the ulitmate end i. e. success in the Aakhirat. Aameen
