This is an article in the 2019 March issue of the National Geographic Magazine. Notice there were no mention of our Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. So the $628 million dollars spent over the past 4 years; which just came shy of our budget allocation for Agriculture this year, did nothing to show case our "art and culture" on the world stage. What then were government and it's agencies promoting? It's clear our drunken, lascivious and reckless behavior Superceded our "Talented Festival". Off course this is of no surprise, when one takes into consideration governments million dollar pay out for a song that has no meaning and no substance... Governments support and promotion for a meaningless presentation of what many criticize as being worthless would certainly go a long way to embarrass us as a Caribbean Island under the Sun...

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) laments the reckless spending and wasteful employment of our resources by government and it's agencies and the their inability to preserve and showcase our heritage. Instead what we see being promoted is a display of drunkenness, violence and vulgarity. Government needs to come full circle and access this deficiency in it's role and function and correct it now before it gets even worst.

Message to People of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago

Message to People of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago:

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmat Ullaah Wa Barakaatuh; Peace and Guidance be Upon You, Greetings, Good Morning;

I am sure you can sense the evil that is spreading ruthlessly upon the souls of the people of this nation. I have no hidden agendas or personal interests, I don't plan to manipulate, trick or deceive you. I merely hope to enlighten you towards the truth.

We live at a time when people of this country are being set upon a false path, one that corrupts their minds with sin and disbelief, we are becoming vile and cruel while some commit minor sins others are causing children to be orphaned, putting them through poverty and starvation, as they hide behind titles, but they are all to blame. Equally those who are committing minuscule sins are following blindly, they listen and never question, follow and never think, they encourage violence to cause bloodshed and crisis without even considering a solution.

How many families have buried their young? How many lives have we lost to extreme violence? Is it not enough?

Immoral relationships have ruin our families, shattered our homes and allowed crime to parent our children. Simple mistakes have infected our bodies with fatal diseases and have killed our infants before they even came to life. Greed has made 100,000 fellow Trinbagonians go to bed hungry every night and search for creative ways to deal with their discomfort, while 260,000 others live on under TT$6.71 a day.

Evil is hunting down more and more people as you are reading this right now. It is like a hungry beast that feeds on dragging us to pain, misery and suffering. But we need to ask ourselves who is it to blame? if you think all of this is happening because of our leaders, then remember those leaders exist because we are allowing them to.

The problem doesn't lie with them but it lies deep inside us. We are the ones responsible for every tear, every scream and every pain.

God Almighty created each one of us as a unique individual, He blessed us with hearts to feel His presence, eyes to see His magnificent creations and ears to hear His message but overwhelmed by the temptations of this materialistic world we turn our backs on our creator and betrayed the purpose of our existence, instead we use our eyes to look at what takes us away from Him, our hearts love what the God Almighty hates, our ears listen to what goes against His beautiful teachings. We use the blessings of our creator to satisfy our own selfish desires. We have become experts in material goods and worldly affairs but completely ignorant in matters of the hereafter, this has caused our souls to suffer a slow death.

We have become heedless, our heedlessness about God Almighty has torn us apart rather than being filled with love and kindness, we become sources of evil and hate. Arrogance has divided us into labels, colors and categories, ignoring the fact that we are all humans. We observe injustice and conform to it, we follow tyranny, rather than oppose it. Heedlessness is a disease that does not only harm you as an individual but it also spreads its pain to your fellow man.

In the name of our governments' brand of democracy, this country have been destroyed. In the name of peace our youths are being jailed and killed. In the name of God, innocence have been oppressed. You might not carry the gun but being heedless about the crime still makes you guilty, so I am sorry, in the way to God I will not provide you with weapons but I will arm you with knowledge that can set your souls and the souls of others free.

You need to ask yourself, has your time not yet come? isn't this the perfect moment to strive towards God and repent your sins? To you who can hear, I encourage you to listen to the voice of your screaming soul, yearning for a glimpse of salvation, it is telling you that this is the perfect moment to strive towards God Alighty, it is the perfect moment to repent for your sins, this is the time for change.

The Holy Qur'an in Chapter 13 verse 11 says: " Indeed God Almighty will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves".

Let us all unite to stop the attacks we are launching against each other and begin the attack against the real enemy, the enemy within. Let us all start a national battle against our evil habits, evil sins and evil traits, let us purify our souls and illuminate Trinidad and Tobago with our divine light. It doesn't matter what your skin color is or how much wealth you have, the way to goodness can unite us all under the One who created us all, so let us strive together, work together and fight together to be the change we want to see in this country. Let us repent our sins, enjoy our life, change this Nation and finally heaven will be your abode. this is the way to the Almighty God. Enter in peace.

Media Release: On The Issue of Crime and Our Daunting Social Challenges

Media Release: 

On The Issue of Crime and Our Daunting Social Challenges

255 Murders in 182 days. As these numbers show and with the Increase in crime and public uneasiness, crime, in all its different forms has become a major threat to societal and individual security. There has been less discussion on the role and response of national security mechanisms. Hence, most of the methods used to fight against crime have backfired and fall short of meeting such a challenge. The failure of the Western methods of combating crime and the Increase in impunity of criminals leads one to suggest a solution, which treats criminal activity not piecemeal but in the total scheme of life. 

The Islamic concept of security is a very comprehensive one, more comprehensive than any of the other existing systems. It looks at humankind in relation to the universe and the factors influencing it. It encompasses physical, mental, psychological and spiritual domains as integral parts of an overall societal security system.

Islamic teachings do not merely provide solutions to exceptional instances of criminal behavior, but emphatically focus on measures that halt their existence. In other words, Islam executes as many means as possible to avert temptation. While modern societies flaunt temptation – liquor, pornography, violence, etc. – before the people, a true Islamic society removes the sources of these temptations, and when the need for correction emerges, the punishment is serious and effective. If crimes are not countered with serious punishments, then our society will be in grave danger.

Crime has prospered in modern societies because a completely contradictory approach is followed to controlling it.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is therefore calling the government to stamp out all forms of temptation that are prevalent and easily accessible and when the time comes for correction or punishment of a crime, the justice system should not be lenient and should be serious. Sentencing should not be biased and protective of the criminal's rights over those of the victim.

Government must take into consideration the changing circumstances of our society as well as the constancy and permanence of the nature of our countrymen.

Waajihatul Islamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is prepared to seek legal injunctions aimed at achieving human welfare, which can all be referred back to universal principles which are necessary for the well-being and security of our citizens. These universal principles are:

1.    The preservation of life.
2.    The preservation of religion.
3.    The preservation of reason.
4.    The preservation of lineage.
5.    The preservation of property.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is working with an objective that would seek to protect our society from the dangers of crime by advocating fairness, equality and justice, also prison and prisoner reform. However, we must bear in mind, the punishment is a recompense for the crime.  It is undesirable to treat a criminal lightly who threatens the security of society with danger.
