Dua Tawassul by Abu Dhar al-Halawaji
|
View video in High quality: youtube.com Dua Tawassul is a supplication recited by the Followers of the Family of the Prophet of Islam (Ahlulbayt), in which they ask Allah, the Exalted, for the intercession of those pure people whom He has spoken of in the Quran, when Allah says: -[None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from (Allah) Most Gracious] (19:87) -[Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth?] (2:255) -[no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by (God)] (20:109) -[And those whom they call upon besides Him have no authority for intercession, BUT he who bears witness of the truth and they know (him)] (43:86) -[And how many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession does not avail at all except after Allah has given permission to whom He pleases and chooses] (53:26) Is Intercession a form of Shirk? youtube.com Does Allah (swt) allow us to use others as a Wasila (means of approach) to him? Yes, Allah (swt) tells us in the Qur'an, that the sole reason for creating Man and Jinn is so that they worship Him. We are here to worship Allah (swt), who also says in the Qur'an "Fear Allah and find a wasila to him (5:35)". The definition of wasila is 'a means of approach', so worship is not direct - it is attained via a means of approach, a guide. Remember Allah (swt) is not telling you to create a wasila, he is telling you to find it. So it exists, it is <b>...</b> |

Mumia Abu-Jamal -- The Other Invasions!
|
The presidential elections are over, but the real battle over Mexico's future is being fought outside of electoral politics. Two powerful figures have launched other kinds of political campaigns here. The multibillionaire Carlos Slim and the guerrilla leader Subcomandante Marcos are facing off in the struggle between the Mexico above and the Mexico below. Carlos Slim is the richest man in Latin America and third richest man in the world. He made most of his fortune off of the controversial privatization of the national telephone monopoly, TELMEX. Slim has used his profits from TELMEX to build a massive economic empire that stretches across Latin America and into the US and Canada. DENISE DRESSER: We have witnessed a massive transfer of wealth from the citizens of this country into his coffers. It's frequently said that Mexicans could not carry out an economic transaction on a daily basis without encountering one tentacle or other of Carlos Slim's multifaceted empire. NARRATION: Slim is the symbol of Mexico's business class and is seen by some as the potential savior of Mexico's struggling economy. CARLOS SLIM: Mexico can join the new world but public resources are insufficient for sustained development. The fundamental point is that private investment needs to be considered, even in public services. NARRATION: Subcomandante Marcos is the ski-masked spokesperson for the Zapatistas, an indigenous guerrilla army. The Zapatistas have fought off the Mexican military for 12 <b>...</b> |

Mumia Abu-Jamal -- When Democracy Equals Empire
|
Every American president, whether Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, speaks lovingly of 'democracy', whenever the nation engages in some escapade abroad. When the US invaded Iraq, it did so, ostensibly, to 'bring democracy to the Middle East.' When it launches a raid in Grenada, or rains death on a poor neighborhood in Panama, when it invaded Haiti in the last century, ad infinitum, it always did so in the name of 'restoring democracy.' What is this democracy of which they so blithely speak? We all have heard the term since our infancy, but who really knows what it means? I wanted to learn more about it, so I began to read one of the finest historians I know of, the great CLR James, author of the ground-breaking *The Black Jacobins*, an influential study of the Haitian Revolution. Some years ago, James published a pamphlet titled, *Every Cook Can Govern: A Study of Democracy in Ancient Greece* (Jackson, MS: New Mississippi, Inc., Mar. 1986). I found myself (as I often am when I read his stuff) blown away by what I learned. As his subtitle suggests, James looks at Greek history for the roots of the democratic idea, and finds it, in some stages, truly democratic, in ways we can hardly imagine. He writes: Perhaps the most striking thing about Greek democracy was that the administration (and there were immense administrative problems) was organized upon the basis of what is known as sortition, or, more easily, selection by lot. The vast majority of Greek <b>...</b> |

Mumia Abu-Jamal -- Behind the Coup D'Etat in Haiti
|
Make no mistake, we are witnessing a coup taking place on the island nation of Haiti. The forced departure of Haitian President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, was something that the Bush administration has been trying to do for years. It saw the opportunity, and — wham! — it took it. Now, it has installed a puppet as Prime Minister, and tries to install a president to it's liking. This is what American 'democracy' means; the power to impose US imperial will on a sovereign government. |

Mumia Abu-Jamal -- Water Wars
|
Veronica Lake, a Michigan-based environmental activist, has noted that corporations acquire the world's water by three major methods: a) by "water mining" the underground aquifers, or deep sources of many of the world's streams or rivers; b) by leasing state and government water systems and collecting revenues; and c) by "managing" city water systems. |
