To the Sincere Noblemen of the Islamic Ummah in Egypt
To the Free Officers of the Armed Forces in the Land of Islam
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Our Islamic Ummah is indeed a nation of generosity and sacrifice and her noble lineage drives her to unshackle herself from repression and injustice. However, she has been detached from her true identity for some time, distracted from the quintessence of her Islam and the resources of her lands have been plundered. She has been subjected to the cruellest forms of mortification, political deception and deprivation. The Islamic Ummah has been for some time aspiring to liberate herself on the basis of her Aqeedah. Even the Kafir West labelled the last quarter of the 20th century as the “Islamic Resurgence” to describe the swing in the viewpoint towards Islam among the Ummah from an Islam that represents the spiritual aspect towards “political Islam”, i.e. the Muslims’ viewpoint to the true Islam that encompasses the solutions to life’s affairs related to the State and society’s relationships. Hence, Islam’s accession to power and the implementation of Allah’s Shari’ah anew in the realm of life, the State and society have become a nightmare for America and the Kafir West.

Answers to Questions
Question1:
Does al-ain, i.e. the “evil eye” have any influence on man? How do we deal with Ahadith stipulating that “The evil eye is real, and if anything were to overtake al-Qadar (divine decree) it would be the evil eye?” Ibnul Qayyim wrote in Bada'i` al-Fawa'id that the evil exists and has an effect, on the basis of the verse (...and from the evil of the envier when he envies.” …)
Answer 1:
It has been established that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said in the Sahih Hadith narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim: “The evil eye is a fact.” This means that the evil eye has an influence. Many scholars relied on this Hadith to adopt the opinion on the influence of the evil eye. However, this issue cannot be perceived by al-Aql (reason), thus al-Aql cannot act as evidence for it. As for the Hadith, it is doubtful and it does not constitute a sound evidence for the issues that al-Aql cannot perceive. Hence, this Hadith alone cannot be a sound evidence for the influence of the evil eye.
As for al-Hasad (envy), it is established through conclusive evidence. Allah (swt) says: “Quite a number of the People of the Book wish they could turn you back to infidelity after you have believed, from selfish envy.” [2-109]

Answers to Questions
1- What is preponderant is that 'Omar Ibnul Khattab (ra) embraced Islam during the period of the secret Da’awah, i.e. the Culturing Period, and not during the overt Da’awah, i.e. the Interaction Period. In other words, he embraced Islam around the third year. The report claiming that he embraced Islam in the sixth year is far-fetched.

The Ramadan Message
[Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an was sent down, as a guide to mankind, also clear Signs for guidance and judgement (between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present during that month should spend it in fasting [TMQ 2.185].
During the blessed month of Ramadan the Muslims increase their recitation and implementation of the Qur’an, for it is during this sublime month that the glorious Qur’an was revealed. The Quran divided everything clearly between right and wrong, between Haq (truth) and Batil (falsehood) and between Kufr (disbelief) and Iman. It is filled with verses about the ongoing struggle between these two sides since the time of Adam (as) and until the departure of the noble Messenger (saw).

Iman
Several questions and queries have reached us stipulating that Iman is the decisive assent that conforms to reality and is based on evidence; that this is a Shari’ah definition of Iman and that there are several Ayat denoting that Iman increases, such as the saying of Allah (swt) in Surat al-Anfal: “For, Believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear His signs rehearsed, find their Iman strengthened, and put their trust in their Lord.” [TMQ]. So does Iman increase? Does it also decrease? What is the opinion in the difference among the scholars of the Ummah in respect of this matter? Is it the assent (Tasdeeq) that increases or the effect of Tasdeeq, in terms of humility, piety and deeds? What is the denotation of the Ayat in which the increase of Iman is mentioned?
