Welcome to the first issue of The Revival Magazine ON-LINE. This boombastic telly-fantastic piece of work will be ‘in your face’ every month I’m afraid. [Edit: No It won't!]

So another Online magazine?

‘Why bother’ is what you’re probably saying; well you know what…prepare to be shocked, entertained, amazed (not)…and who knows you might learn something and …I’m pushing it now but you might like it at the end of the day! If The Revival Magazine was your cup of tea then the ON-LINE version will be your kind of thing…I hope.

So what’s this issue all about?

The Revival strongly condemns in the strongest terms Israel's criminal assassination of Shaykh Ahmad Isma'il Yasin,Founder and Leader of Hamas.

We condemn this illegal and excessive use of force, which was committed in the context of the policy of extra-judicial assassination officially adopted by the Israeli government, in violation of international law and humanitarian law. We condemn Israel’s crimes of assassination and its escalation of human rights violations in the Occupied Palestinian Terrorities.

In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate

A MUSLIM COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE PROPOSED ANTI-TERRORISM MEASURES

As members of the Muslim community the undersigned individuals and organisations feel the need to communicate our view regarding some of the recently proposed anti-terrorism measures in the aftermath of the London bombings, and address statements made by the Prime Minister in the past few weeks.

London Terrorist Attacks

The Revival totally condemns the terrorist attacks targeting innocent civilians in London. These are the acts of evil, sick, pathetic cowards. This was a terrorist attack aimed at ordinary working class Londoners, black and white, Muslim and Christian, Hindu and Jew, young and old.

Our sympathies and our prayers are with the victims, their families and friends.

The perpetrators of this horrific crime need to be caught and brought to justice. We must and will be united in common determination that terror cannot succeed. It is now the duty of all us Britons to be vigilant and actively support efforts to bring those responsible to justice.

Well I suppose you've browsed through the site… so what do you reckon? At the moment we are under construction but soon Insha Allah the site will be completed and we will hopefully be able to provide great service to the Ummah, Well our aim is Insha Allah to provide- other than the past and current issues of The Revival- the news and views of the Muslim Ummah.

We will Insha Allah keep you updated with the latest national and International News concerning the Muslims, articles on all issues and not forgetting the Live Voice Chat and the Notice board where you can air your views and discuss the latest issues with Muslims across the globe. Your views and suggestions are vital in the success of The Revival On-Line.

'A totally barbaric and in-humane attack on innocent people'

The Revival condemns the terrorist attacks in the Spanish capital Madrid that lead to the death of almost 200 people and the injury of 1500. It was a totally barbaric and in-humane attack on innocent people.

The Revival also wishes to express our deepest sympathies and condolences to the victim's relatives and loved ones and our wishes to all those injured for a speedy and full recovery.

The perfect Christmas tree is bought. Adorned with ornaments and glittering with tinsel, it stands by the window. The stores are crammed with shoppers hunting for presents and the little ones anxiously waiting for Santa.

Busy with Christmas fever, ever wonder wether the Bible or Jesus made any injunctions regarding Christmas?

Ponder upon the following analysis on Christmas, and the Truth will become clearer and clearer.

Does Christmas have Biblical Evidence?

The word 'Christmas' does not exist in the Bible. The Bible has closed lips on the entire feast of Christmas, with one exception, the decoration of a tree. The Bible itself criticizes the decoration of the (Christmas) trees:

Western non-governmental organizations are operating in all parts of the world. Many are doing great work in alleviating poverty and helping with development efforts. Unfortunately, some have hidden agendas.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear brother in Islam, we are really impressed by your question, which shows how concerned you are about the affairs of your fellow Muslims and your interest to abide by the Shari`ah in all details of your life. May Allah help us all lead a righteous life based on Islam!

In response to the question you posed, Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, former President of the Islamic Society of North America, states:

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Every people have their `Eid…"
