A Letter Of Condemnation

“As Salaamu Aliakum   

Respected Hounorable Ulama

You are receiving this email as I feel you are the only credible organisations who can answer. Please assist with this. Yet again I am amazed by the doings of Al Ansaar.

Before Ramadaan I called Mr Joosub and had asked him as to what is going on with Al Ansaar as there is a lot of fitnah that goes on there in terms of all these shows that are being presented, Fairs that take place from time to time as well the encouragement of illicit relationships at these fairs. He swore me “go do what F#*# you want” (High-lighted by Custodians of the Haq for emphasis.) For a Muslim to speak to anyone like that is disgraceful.

At present they have intermingling of sexes at the station which is forbidden in Islam. They have shows that have a mix of men and women. Is this permissible in Islam?

I need clarity on this neither does the Jamiat, Darul Ihsan or Radio Islam have these problems (Perhaps you are unaware, but believe us, these things are happening even at Jamiat Fordsburg offices and at their Radio ‘Islam’ – Custodians of the Haq). I am also aware that we have various Moulanas come on from Jamiat and Darul Ihsan etc. but what I fail to understand is that with all these haraam activities happening, how is this still possible for the Ulama to participate?  Please advise me as I am very disturbed about all of this glaringly haraam activities. Forgive me for saying but this is like sitting on the fence situation.

There is music that is being played daily and Al Ansaar says that’s ok. It doesn’t have, but if you really think about it, artists like Milad Raza Qadri use musical instruments when singing. In the morning and evening is Hafiz Wadi whose doing the ‘halaal’ segments. He plays only Qiraat and speaks to Moulanas. Then comes the breakfast show with a male and female both ghair mahrams sitting in one studio laughing and flirting like over the air of Al Ansaar which is un-Islamic with all those music items. 

Is this station really portraying Islam as it should be? Is it because there are wealthy business people supporting this station therefore one cannot turn away from this? Please help me and the rest of the community understand what is this all about. The station does not respond to any queries. They say they will get back to you. Islamically they do not follow the fardz or the sunnah way of doing things.

When there was the problem about music and they had a meeting they called a Mufti, and they lashed him about his comments.

They are promoting there “wonderful” Souk yet again. This is a money making scheme, promoting haraam activities, illicit relationships and intermingling of sexes and scantily dressed women with no modesty whatsoever.

Someone please help me understand this.  I’m not here to make a problem but when issues need to be addressed one should be able to get answers. Jazakallaah!”
