Jihaad and Slaves

ISIS

Q: Will you please give me a synopsis of ISIS or ISIL. Will you please also give some advise on how to view them and whether they are on the truth or on falsehood?

Hizb-ut-Tahrir group

Q: There is a group called 'Hizb-ut-Tahrir' that says they are working to re-establish the Khilafah by following the Sunnah way of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam). They follow the fiqh of some sheikh who they claim was mujtahid and graduated from Al-Azhar. Some of the things they propagate is that it is fardh upon every Muslim to be working for the re-establishment of the Khilafah as we should be ruled only by Islam. They go as far as saying that just as Salah is Fardh, Khilafat is also Fardh. They also say that one should be politically aware as a Muslim and that the matter concerning the Ummah can only be resolved if we live under a Khalifah. I want to know if this truly has basis in Islam and whether it is Fardh upon us all to be working for the Khilafah to be established?

The ISIS

Q: First time I am asking you a question so I want to know there is a group named the ISIS. I do really know what that group is about and who they are and what they stand for are Muslims? What is you opinion what are they doing wrong? Please shed some light on this please brother I am writing this from Trinidad and Tobago.

Slavery

Q: I want to know the concept of kaneez/loundi in Islam. Is this rule still applicable like the previous age? Or that was for the present time? If this practice has been stopped then how? What does the Qur'an say about it?
