with AWAW have been well recieved by the Youth at large. Keep it coming.
20.10.05 - AWAW to release a solo album before
the spring insha Allah. First of the solo releases from Blakstone this is proving to be a
massive hit already just in theory. 5 tracks in, the album "Story of Muslim Youth" is a
very personal, stark look at the past, present and future according to AWAW aka BroWiss.
Blakstones Music is a sound born out of
provocation due the unprecedented suffering of our people (be it in Iraq, Palestine,
Lebanon, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Kosovo, Bosnia, Darfur, Gujarat, Kashmir, Angola, Rawanda etc) as
well as the continuous subjugation of the impoverished of this earth at the hands of
capitalism due to western foreign policy and eastern home-grown treachery.
Simply speaking folks we are sick and tired of governments and so called politicians
getting away with murder in all its guises and hence we speak out through our music. If we
as a collective can galvanise generation X, if we can make them aware of the atrocities
committed in their name, if we can remind them of the hardships that others endure, if we
can politicise and inspire them into direct action accountability of government and self,
if we can educate and entertain at the same time, if we can peddle knowledge instead of
death, if we can murder ignorance and apathy instead of each other, if we can glorify the
truth instead of falsehood, if we can rep those without a voice and stand up against
injustice and oppression, then we have made a difference, then the collective becomes a
movement and a movement is a vehicle for change.
Silence is not an option, change is inevitable and defeat is only a mind state!

As-Sallam-WaLaikum WaRahmatu Allahi Wa barakhatu Brothers and Sisters.
On Wednesday, March 28th 2007, a total lunar eclipse will take place at 7:35 U.T. (Universal Time). This eclipse will not be visible in the area covering Eastern Europe, The Middle East and all of Africa. The Eastern half of Russia and most, if not all of India will not see it either.
If you're in anywhere from China to New York, you'll see it.
Remember that both solar and lunar eclipses are signs from Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. He shows us these signs by way of fear and hope. They remind us of Allah and how awesome His Power is. They also remind us, that if His Power is this great, that His Punishment must be unimaginable, that we may remember Him and The Day of Judgement. We are not only instructed to feel fear when we see these events, we are also instructed to praise Him during these events and seek His Mercy.
Narrated Abu Musa (ridy Allah hu anhu): "The sun eclipsed and the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him) got up, fearing that it might be The Hour (The Day Of Judgement). He went to the mosque and offered the Salat (prayer) with a long Qiyam (standing), bowing and prostration that I had never seen him doing. Then he said, "These signs which Allah sends do not occur because of the life or death of somebody, but Allah frightens with them Ibadahu (His slaves or His worshippers). So when you see anything thereof, proceed to remember Allah, invoke Him and ask for His Forgiveness." Sahih Al-Bukhari-Book 16 [The Book of The Eclipses] Chapter 7-"To Remember Allah During The Eclipse".
The eclipse prayer is 2 rakkats with 4 bowings and 4 prostrations. So, instead of prostrating after the first Ruku, you perform a second Ruku, then prostrate. You must recite any and all of The Qur'an that you know, if you haven't memorized "Ya-Sin" in Arabic. Also, you must make the prayer as long as possible. Preferably, the duration
Unity that's what we need. Ehli-sunna muslims must be one.
We must fight against racism, ignorance within the community.
We must fight against hypocrites, so called muslims (people saying that they are muslim whereas their belief is diffrent than Islamic belief).
We must fight againt zionists and all other types of human kind enemies.
Who ever you are : learn history ! Then you will understand why crimes are committed in Irak, Afghanistan, Palestine, Kashmir, Lebanon, CHECHNYA, Bosnia, etc.
We must know where we come from to know where we go.

Truthful Movement shall be performing at the following event:
Show Time: 31 Jan 2007 - 18:00
Venue Name: School of African and Oriental Studies/SOAS
Address: School of African and Oriental Studies, Russel Square
Cost: Free
Description: Organised by the Islamic Society. It is really easy to get there, it is placed right next to Russel Square train station which is on the piccadilly line. Nasheeds and much more!
The New World Orders pulling the strings and sitting back, watching the calamity it brings, on the poor and helpless, bleeding them dry, leaving them senseless. Coming from behind the scenes, to what we view on the TV screens. So much to blame them for it’s down right absurd, compelling evidence of conspiracies that are wholly the word, as real as the screams of the mothers dying at the hands of Western greed. The reality is clear; the dawn of destruction is here, now take heed. The monsters lie in the shadows while their aliases exert pressure on powerful positions, controlling and influencing landmark decisions and blatantly abusing their selective conditions. They have total lockdown of the worlds governments, pick and choose who they wish to torment, with ease, people are begging them please, many are down on their knees, protected by nothing other than false treaties. Threats to the FBI agents to keep a secret, anyone tells a tell tale, they’ll get sent to jail, no bail. These large scale operations spurred on by heavyweight determination, where there’s no room for compassion. Blood thirsty Globalists are using terrorist assaults, slyly blaming the attacks and instilling the thoughts, that it’s forever the Muslims fault. These prepositions are vital to ultimately scare the population into a high-tech slave nation. There is no country where the NWO is absent. Even when the massacres happened on 9/11 with bombs planted by the CIA, they blamed it on my brethren. This and the laidback backward legislation. Zealous ghettoisation and illustrious condemnation of the Islamic Political Movement. An NWO police state, no freedom for debate or free speech with the masses lying speechless with the collective responsibility controlling the politicians who stand so careless. The world is dying.
Ma'as Salaam.

Even tough my tracks, that will come out soon insha'la, are mainly in French...I thought that I should give you some hints on my thoughts (in English) so that you can feel my struggle...
Food for thought...
Whether it rains, snows, or shines
The Dawah carrier carries the signs
The signs well-versed, trigger the thirst
Shines shines faces and tongues moist
Moist with revelations learned at last
To convince minds diverted in these last hours
Hours of pain, full of humiliations and afflictions
Later remains from missions scattered bodies and cry
Cry cry the Ka’ba cries for liberation by this Ummah.
Two rows of Hizb ul Allah marched towards her with “lahilaha illalah!”
lahilaha illalah! Mohammadan Rassolah! he repeats proudly.
Better died pierced like Hamzah than live a life cowardly.
Cowardly and Carrier start both with Cs but don’t Cease to Combat
Ya Carrier finalize your moves to repel Corruption “Echec and Mat”
Echec and Mat! Kings are removed from power while Khilafah cement.
CIA sees its arrival in 2020, but they’re lying is arrival insha’la is imminent.
Imminent rewards for those with taqwa and immersed with hope.
Ya Ummah please follow the truth and help us hold this rope
This rope leads insha’la to Jannah as martyrdom is commonplace
They gave their lives like Osmanov whether it shines or whether it rains.
Whether it rains, snows, or shines
The Dawah carrier carries the signs
“March forth, whether you are light or heavy
And strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah.
This is better for you, if you but knew” [TMQ 9:41]
