I strongly recommend everyone to see this book, not only about ET business but
also about the Government within government which is on times more powerful
than the president.

Thanks Br. Javed, thanks for sharing -- I know Mr. Hellyer from the early 2000
-- long story, this is before his exposition on his take on ET -- I still have
to check his book (s) on his views specifically on this subject. We can discuss
further when we meet inshallah.

#yiv0400094871 Here is an
interesting article on the question of extraterrestrials perhaps visiting
earth more than we care to know. In this connection, I would suggest a book,
‘The Money Mafia’ by Paul hellyer. Hellyer is now in his 90s, he was once
Canada’s defense minister, back in 1950s. He says that he has seen the flying
saucers that visited the US and collided with each other and crashed. He saw
all that at the famous Area 51. The book is really interesting. The attached
article has an interesting and thought provoking video.

Salam, I just received an article
and I read the full article. I found this interesting article that deals
with this issue and want to share with you all....
Halala: The Most Vile Custom among
Muslims By Sohail Arshad, New Age
Islam14
Dec., 2012If a man divorces his loving wife in a fit of rage someday and then
after coming to his senses he realises his mistake and wants to take her back
in his life, the mullah of his town tells him of the only option that is
Halala that can make her ex-wife lawful for him. He explains to the young man
that to remarry his wife, first he will have to allow her to get married to
another man who will consummate the marriage as her lawful husband. If the
man divorces her only then he can remarry her after she spends the three-month
iddat period.And this has become a widely accepted practice across Muslim
societies. In many towns, the Maulvis (priests) arrange for a man for the
marriage of such a divorced woman by paying him a specific fee. He divorces
her after consummating the marriage within a stipulated period of time making
the woman lawful for her first husband. In most of the cases all the expenses
of the marriage and the fee are paid by the former husband.In recent years,
the practice of administering Halala has taken an ugly turn as corruption has
crept in the clergy and in the society at large in the religious affairs that
have become both means of earning money and getting the opportunity to
legally keep a mistress for a short period of time without having to worry
about any social and legal hassles. Therefore, in many towns and cities, these
muftis themselves have taken up the lofty task of serving the Muslim Ummah by
offering the service of Halala by marrying such hapless women to make them
lawful for their former husbands. According to reports, one mufti has even
established a ‘Halala centre’ to cater to the needs of such bad-tempered
husbands and the filthy rich with uncontrollable lust of keeping concubines
for short periods of time.According to the editor of Newageislam.com, Mr
Sultan Shahin, such ‘Halala services’ are also offered by the managing
committee members of some mosques in Western countries (in Brussels, for
example) where the managing committee consists of rich people who are ready to
offer Halala services. The richest of them all gets to perform Halala on the
most beautiful woman that comes for this purpose. A fatwa of divorce is given
most easily, sometimes on the flimsiest grounds and sometimes without any
ground altogether. This is accepted by the husband’s family largely as the
fatwa and offer of Halala is also accompanied by a threat of ex-communication
by the priests.This custom has been questioned by non-Muslim as they say that
it subjects a faithful and modest woman to go through this painful orgy due to
the mistakes of her irresponsible husband. In their opinion, it is a bizarre
custom devoid of any logic as the wife has to suffer humiliation and stigma
for the folly of her husband.The custom of Halala has itself become a problem
because of its sheer misinterpretation and misapplication. The verses of the
Quran have been misinterpreted to misuse the practice of Halala. The Quran
says:“So if a husband divorces his wife (for a third time), he cannot, after
that remarry her until after she has married another husband and he has
divorced her. In that case, there is no blame on either of them if they
re-unite, provided they can keep the limits ordained by Allah. Such are the
limits ordained by Allah which He makes plain to those who know”.
(2:230).Actually, Halala is not a means of remarrying a wife after uttering
divorce. When a man permanently divorces his wife by uttering three Talaqs
(divorce) he cannot remarry her at any cost. If only the woman decides to
have a second marriage to spend the rest of her life peacefully and for the
sake of the future of her children (if any) and at any point of time if the
second husband also divorces her on his own accord as a matter of coincidence
and if, in case the woman also wants to get back to her first husband, she can
remarry her first husband. And this process will be called Halala.So, the
whole episode will be based on a number of coincidences and on the willingness
of the woman to get back. Halala is not an option to get her back by
stage-managing a mutah (temporary marriage) where everything is planned or
agreed upon, that is, a man agrees to marry the divorced woman by charging an
amount of money only to divorce her after having physical relationship with
her for a stipulated or mutually agreed period of time, say, one day or one
week and then divorces her according to the agreement in order to make the
woman lawful for her first husband.Or the man only wants to keep a mistress
for temporary enjoyment and money with the purpose of divorcing her after a
mutually agreed period of time like in mutah (temporary
marriage) without having any commitment towards her. This kind of Halala is
Haram and prohibited in Islam and a bid’at (religious innovation). The Quran
and hadith both prohibit such a marriage and accursed are all those who are
involved in such marriages. Such practice of Halala is Haram as it is in clear
contravention of Hadith and the Quranic ordainments.Nowadays, the Halalas are
arranged marriages and paid-for-affairs in order to fulfil the minimum
criteria to reunite with the spouse. But the holy Prophet (PBUH) has strictly
prohibited such practices in the name of Halala. The holy prophet (PBUH)
admonishes those who misinterpret the verses of the Quran regarding Halala to
serve their own petty interests and removes the confusion.
According to a Hadith, the holy Prophet (PBUH) said:“'The Curse of Allah be
upon the one who marries a divorced woman with the intention of making her
lawful for her former husband, and upon the one for whom she is made lawful!'.
This Hadith was reported by Hadhrat Ali ibn Talib (R.A.) (Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 2071). This Hadith not only invalidates arranged Halalas but also
replies to the criticism of the detractors of Islam who say that by giving
sanctions to Halala, Islam has done great injustice to the divorced women.
The holy Prophet (PBUH) cursed both the men who make the wronged woman go
through humiliation and severe mental and psychological torture and cause her
a permanent stigma.
Clearly, the Prophet (PBUH) does not blame her and absolves her of all
responsibility in the entire episode because he too believes that the woman
has been meted out grave injustice by the one who has ruined her life and the
other who has married her only to use her as a sexual object. Halala is
itself an un-Islamic custom, with no Islamic validity.The current practice is
based on wrong interpretation of the Quran, and, therefore, it has only
created other social problems. Most of the time, the second husband refuses to
divorce the ‘Halala’ wife or delays the divorce violating the agreement. In
some cases, the wife herself decides to settle down with the second husband
to teach her first husband a lesson or because she likes or falls in love with
him or feels more secure with him. Halala is an offshoot of another
un-Islamic custom, triple Talaq. Quran clearly gives the method for divorce in
three months; if that is followed and made mandatory there would be no Halala
issue altogether. Muslims should not accept divorce as legal until a divorce
has been pronounced on three separate occasions If this were made clear to
couple that no matter how many times the husband pronounced divorce the first
time it will be considered one divorce, after which coming together is just a
matter of sleeping together and so on, this evil custom will come to an end.So
this evil is basically a result of a craftily devised Mullah conspiracy to
fulfill their own vile desires. That is why they have made triple Talaq
acceptable and Halala prevalent.The most worrying aspect of this practice is
that the corrupt muftis and mullahs have promoted this un-Islamic practice to
satisfy their lust for having sex with multiple women without fear of
condemnation or opposition either from their wives or from the society. Such
un-Islamic practices of irresponsible sections of the Muslim society should be
exposed and stopped to save the lives and honour of women in distress.
Muslims should be educated to behave responsibly with their wives as there is
no way of remarrying a woman after divorcing her. Halala comes only as a
coincidence. And remember, coincidences are rare, very rare.URL:

Chaudry………………………………………………………………………………………….Sharia Councils and Sexual Abuse in
Britainby Khadija Khan April 14, 2017 at 5:00
amhttps://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10191/sharia-councils-sexual-abuse § As ;
bad as this is, there is an even darker side to the story: Under sharia law,
the second husband is under no obligation to give his wife a quick divorce –
allowing him to keep her as his virtual sex slave for as long as he wishes.§
If one asks how all of this jibes with British law, the answer is that it does
not.§ The UK-based NGO, Muslim Women's Network, penned an open letter --
with 100 signatories -- to the British government and Home Affairs Select
Committee demanding that the Sharia Council be investigated to determine
whether its practices adhere to British law. In response, the Sharia Council
declared the letter to be "Islamophobic" and accused the Muslim Women's
Network of being an anti-Muslim organization.§ It is British law, not
sharia, law that protects Muslim individuals and couples, as it does any other
citizen. Contrary to what apologists for this travesty say, the plight of
Muslim women should be treated as an issue of human rights.The most recent
scandal surrounding the sexual exploitation of Muslim women by Islamic
religious leaders in the UK is yet further proof of the way in which Britain
is turning a blind eye to horrific practices going on right under its nose.A
BBC investigation into "halala" -- a ritual enabling a divorced Muslim woman
to remarry her husband by first wedding someone else, consummating the union,
and then being divorced by him
-- revealed that imams in Britain are not only encouraging this, but
profiting financially from it. This depravity has led to many such women being
held hostage, literally and figuratively, to men paid to become their second
husbands.This ritual, which is considered a misinterpretation of Islamic
sharia law even by extremist Shi'ites and Saudi-style Salafists, is practiced
by certain Islamic sects, such as Hanafis, Barelvis and Deobandis. When a
husband repeats the Arabic word for divorce -- talaq -- three times to his
wife, these sects consider a Muslim marriage null and void. For such a woman
to be allowed to return to the husband who banished her, she must first marry
someone else
-- and have sex with him -- before the second husband divorces her.These
divorce rites, despite the laws of the land, are common in India, Bangladesh,
Pakistan and other Asian countries, where a majority of the people belong to
the Hanafi, Barelvi or Deobandi sects.
Nevertheless, local seminaries, mosques and online services openly advertise
and promote halala with impunity; it is accepted by society and rarely
monitored by state authorities.In Britain, halala has emerged as a booming
business, with websites and social media sites offering to provide women with
second husbands for exorbitant sums of money. As bad as this is, there is an
even darker side to the story: Under sharia law, the second husband is under
no obligation to give his wife a quick divorce -- allowing him to keep her as
his virtual sex slave for as long as he wishes.One Muslim woman, who changed
her mind about going through with halala after looking into the process, told
the BBC that she knew others who did undergo the process, and ended up being
sexually abused for months by the second husbands paid to marry them.
According to a report in The Guardian, the Sharia Council of Britain says it
deals with hundreds of divorce cases annually.This infamous council is
indirectly responsible for what essentially has become a rape pandemic, since
it does nothing to stop or refute halala. In fact, it declares that the
practice is completely legal under sharia law. The only caveat, the council
states, is that the imams presiding over it are not following the proper
guidelines, according to which the second marriage and divorce should not be
premeditated, but rather happen naturally.If one asks how all of this jibes
with British law, the answer is that it does not. But young Muslims in the UK
are discouraged by their communities from marrying through the British system,
and are told to have imams perform their weddings and sharia councils
register their marriages Couples who comply end up being at the mercy of
Islamic authorities in family matters, including divorce.Due to its often
unethical practices conducted in the name of religious law, the Sharia Council
has come under scrutiny a number of times. Last November, for instance, the
UK-based NGO, Muslim Women's Network, penned an open letter -- with 100
signatories -- to the British government and Home Affairs Select Committee
demanding that the Sharia Council be investigated to determine whether its
practices adhere to British law.In response, the Sharia Council declared the
letter to be "Islamophobic" and accused the Muslim Women's Network of being
an anti-Muslim organization. In addition, Labour MP Naz Shah jumped to the
defense of the Sharia Council, rejecting the idea of an inquiry, on the
grounds that shutting down such councils could mean that more women would be
stuck in abusive marriages.While acknowledging that these councils could be
used as a tool to deny women their rights, Shah said that they also serve as
valuable arbitrators in marital disputes.Her claims are totally baseless. It
is British law, not sharia, law that protects Muslim individuals and couples,
as it does any other citizen.Haitham al-Haddad is a British shari'a council
judge, and sits on the board of advisors for the Islamic Sharia Council.
Regarding the handling of domestic violence cases, he stated in an interview,
"A man should not be questioned why he hit his wife, because this is something
between them. Leave them alone. They can sort their matters among themselves."

government addressed Sharia Council malpractice when it was first revealed,
we would not be facing this pandemic today.
Contrary to what apologists for this travesty say, the plight of Muslim women
should be treated as an issue of human rights.It is time for the British
government to wake up and take a tough stand on such unethical, and probably
illegal, system. And the sooner the better, lest the whole sharia council
system go "underground" and out of reach to protect thousands of women from
abuse.Khadija Khan is a Pakistan-based journalist and commentator.© 2017
