Halal is Harmony

Social and harmony must be compelled within the frame of Islamic society, Islam encourage the people to live struggle and following the action which is correctly maintain in the Islamic tradition, making their life could be controlled and to compare between halal and haram, halal means every meal, or action which is allowed by Islamic law, and haram is every meal or action which is not allowed or condemned in Islam.

To live harmony in Islam is to live accordingly to the concept of halal, where every action and any transaction in the bank, market or to any events must be halal. If the follower could be consequently perform this basic, there would be agreement to each other, and no contradiction will be created in the society.

The harmonies within Islamic society created when the rich and the poor can be stable, and realization of the possibility to be together. The rich realizes the need of poor for them like wise, the poor realizes the need of rich man.

Another way to reach harmonism is to call the people to do for the sake of goodness, and to leave the awful habitual action which is so called as "Jahiliyah". And to toughen the believe of oneness of Allah, the Islamic society believe that Allah the only their destiny. We believe that every action which is done consequently and with regard to the Islamic ways would not create any trouble in the society, the people would be satisfied and no one is lost.

Thus, the concept of Halal is the symbol of harmonies in Islam; the concept was performed very well during the prophet caliphate, after the winning of Islam over the unbeliever, and against the infidelity. Within a very short period the empire economy is bombing and the people live in harmony.

Now a day, it is important to understand the concept of Halal in the life, especially to those who seeks for the career, the concept of halal could demolish the corruption in the country, and decrease the quantity of the poor people in the society, it also could develop the economic of the country. Subhanallah, wallahu'alam.

U.S., ISRAEL BACK NEW PALESTINIAN REGIME*

Invoking emergency provisions, Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has sworn in a new government that is backed by Israel and the United States. The new Cabinet does not include any members of the Hamas, which has been engaged in pitched battles with Mr. Abbas’ Fatah party.

Salam Fayyad was sworn in as the new Prime Minister under a presidential decree issued by Mr. Abbas. Mr. Abbas ensured that Fatah heavyweight are not part of the new Government.

Once it became evident that the new Cabinet would not include Hamas members, Israel announced that afresh opportunity for peace had been created. The United States, on its part, also said that obstacles in the path of engaging the Palestinian government had been eliminated.

A statement by a Hamas spokesman promptly said Mr. Abbas was “involved in the U.S. – Israeli conspiracy, along with some Arab parties, to bring down the Hamas movement.”
With rival camps now ruling the Palestinian territories, a humanitarian crisis is looming over Gaza’s 1.3 million residents. Israeli fuel company dor alon announced it had snapped all fuel supplies to the Gaza strip with the exception of an electricity generation plant. The move is likely to trigger petrol and cooking gas shortages. Food and other essential supplies in Gaza are already running low.

The Real Coup Plotters

Those who denied the results of the Palestinian elections did the damage.

Here is how democracy works in the Alice in wonderland world of Palestinian politics under the tutelage of the United States and the international community. After years of being hectored to hold elections and adopt democratic norms, a year and a half ago Palestinians duly elected Hamas with 44 percent of the vote, ahead of Fatah on 41 percent.

It was a good election as the former U.S. President, Jimmy carter, observed at the time, a free, fair and accurate expression of the desires of a Palestinian people sick of the uselessness, corruption, and gangsterism of Fatah. The problem was that it didn’t quite reflect the wishes of Washington and the international community.


And while there can be no denying that Hamas, which refutes the existence of Israel and has baked suicide bombings, is a threatening organization, there was no attempt at engagement, in the way that Fatah, whose militants have perpetrated scores of attacks, has been engaged with for years.

Now, after the months of financial embargo of the Hamas-led government by the U.S. and Europe, after the funding and propping up of Fatah’s president Mahmoud Abbas, after the slow, crushing squeeze on Palestinian society that encouraged its social disintegration, what have we got? Virtual civil war in gaza, the polarization of Palestinian society, a government dissolved by decree, and a new Prime Minister, Salam Fayyad, appointed with the explicit blessing of the U.S.
