In its comprehensive character, legal sciences developed among Muslims very early. In fact they were the first in the world to entertain the thought of an abstract science of law, distinct from the codes of the general laws of the country. In the field of law proper, codes have appeared since the beginning of the second century of the Hijrah (800.AD).

In the days of antiquity, International Law was neither international nor law. It formed a part of politics and depended on the discretion and mercy of statesmen. Moreover, its rules applied only to a limited number of States inhabited by peoples of the same race, who followed the same religion and spoke the same language. The Muslims were the first to accord it a place in the legal system, creating both rights and obligations. This may be observed in the rules of international law that formed part of a special chapter in the codes and treatises of the Muslim law ever since the earliest times. In fact the most ancient treatise which we possess is the Majmu’ of Zaid ibn ‘Ali, who died in 120 H/737 C.E, that work also contains the chapter in question. Further, Muslims developed this branch of study as an independent science, and monographs on the subject, under the generic title of Siyar, were found existing even before the middle of the second century of the Hijrah. In his Tawali at-Ta ‘sis, Ibn Hajar relates that the first monograph of the kind hailed from the pen of Abu Hanifah, the contemporary of the above-mentioned Zaid Ibn ‘Ali. The characteristic feature of this international law is, that it makes no discrimination among foreigners. It does not concern inter-Muslim relations, but deals solely with the non-Muslim States of the entire world. Islam in principle forms one single unit and one single organic community.

Another contribution in the legal domain is the comparative Case Law, the appearance of different schools of Muslim law necessitated this kind of study, in order to bring into relief the reasons of their differences as well as the effects of each divergence of principle on a given point of law. The books of Dabusi and Ibn Rushd are classics on the subject. Saimuri wrote even a work of comparative jurisprudence or methodology of law (Usul al-Fiqh).

The written-constitution of the State was also an innovation of the Muslims, and the Prophet Muhammad (saws) himself was its author. When He (saws) established the first Islamic City-State at Madinah, he endowed it with a written constitution that governed the various communities all having different faiths and backgrounds, the document has come down to us preserved over the centuries, its contents could be divided into 52 clauses. It mentions in precise terms the rights and obligations of the head of the State, of constituent communities, and of subjects respectively, in matters of administration, legislation, justice, defense, etc. It dates from the year 622 CE and from this document many later scholars were guided in identifying the Objects (Maqasid) of Islamic Law. (Introduction by Dr. M. Hamidullah)

Law In Medieval Europe

Before we look into the History of Islamic Law we should mention other Law systems to gain a clear contrast between our world and the world back then, likewise the world today will also make more sense.

We should first keep in mind that the Church and Christianity are not the same thing, the Church in reality was just another dynastic monarchy trying to maintain power through fear by keeping their populations less educated than them, even denying them science and advancement. Following the same example they set were the colonial Empires that later would come from Europe, after centuries of such treatment by the church this deprivation became ingrained into the personality of that region, because as it would become evident, all of the empires employed these same methods to other civilizations they would enslave around the world, this is none more evident than in their dismantling of their institutions and replacing them with dysfunctional systems.

America, similarly did the same thing, this was first witnessed in their treatment of the native Americans, the slave labour they would import from Africa, and the cheap labour they would “steal” from china and other parts of the world by lying to them regarding the life they would find when they migrated their, only to be placed in work camps little better than prisons. They still mimic the old empires even to this day, something John (ra) was very explicit about and up until the enlightenment, which was essentially the christian world catching up to the rest of the world, America still had trial by ordeal.

This was all another form assimilation and conquest, and the reason why the third world even exists to begin with, most of those regions at some point in history had an empire more cultured and advanced than what dysfunctional Europe had been prior to the 18^th century with no prejudice to science, knowledge or wisdom.

Without going into detail, studying the lives of many popes would reveal they were anything but religious men, the era of the Borgia, the family Dynasty they replaced and the family Dynasties that came after them is a testament to this fact, this is why the church was fought for so long and so many groups split away from it, like the protestants.

Law was harsh in Medieval Europe, those in charge of Law and order believed that people would only learn how to behave if they feared what would happen to them when they broke the law, as apposed to educating them on why being moral benefited all society but their system of morality was in the hands of those who carried little about it, hence even the smallest offense had serious punishment. Under this system each accused person went through an ordeal to prove their innocence, in contrast to today a person is first “presumed innocent until found guilty”, but to them when someone was accused of a crime, even if the accusation was false, they were “guilty until they proved their own innocence” through any one of a number of ridiculous and superstitious tests known as ordeals, this was the mental state of those who ruled christian lands and why the Dark Age of Europe even existed.

The first Ordeal was known as “Trial by Fire”, an accused person held a red hot iron bar and walked three paces, his hand was then bandaged and left for three days. If the wound was getting better after three days you were innocent, if it did not you were guilty, most people were left scared for life.

The second Ordeal was “Trial by Water”, an accused person was tied up and thrown into a body of water. If you floated you were guilty of the crime, if you drowned you were innocent, these tests were as serious as the consequences and it is shocking how far rulers had fallen intellectually, but these are the origins of the West we know today, the same West the bible speaks about, and why they cary out their acts behind closed doors with ridiculous justifications.

The third Ordeal was “Trial by Combat”, this was used for noblemen who had been accused of something, they would fight their accuser and whoever won was right.

Trial by ordeal existed in other forms and a persons innocence was proven by putting them in other dangerous situations such as swallowing poison, pulling an object from boiling oil, and walking on nine red hot ploughs, if you recovered quickly  or survived you were innocent.

In 1215, the pope decided that priests, those supposed to be the wise people of a community, must not help with ordeals because they were mostly corrupt, as a result the legal system slightly improved which now asked for witnesses in a case.

The ordeals were slowly replaced over time by what was then termed as juries, this was different from todays system and juries. A judge was appointed to investigate a crime by asking locals regarding the matter, then judgment would be passed, because these witnesses held a persons fate in their hands they were called juries, but essentially they were no more than possible witnesses. But in spite of this supposed improvement people did not want to participate, becouse they feared being railroaded by their neighbors, so after 1275 a law was passed allowing people to be tortured if they refused to go to trial by Jury, the system was only slightly less barbaric than the ordeals and ended up being more corrupt.

Needless to say this to wasn’t an effective system, but Europe began to use it from this point on, despite this for a long time still, trial by Ordeal remained very common through large parts of Europe because that system was replaced very slowly. Trial by ordeal was still used in early America and made famous by it’s witch trials, it lasted almost until the end of the 16th century when eventually the enlightenment changed everything.

Although by the 18^th century they essentially had to throw out the church to really achieve anything,  eventually after the period of the enlightenment another dark age set upon Europe, an age that was masked by the wonders it produced, the age of secularism, a tool employed to free people from the church but ultimately opened the way for morally bankrupt individuals to impose themselves on the people of that land who were leaving religion in droves to worship the “dragon”.

By the eve of WW1 a different kind of people were now in charge, with no moral voice to enforce any kind of morality, eventually leading to WW2, it is probably fair to say even though one group replaced another things did not become better under secular rule, as it resulted in the most heinous wars the world had ever witnessed destroying world civilizations, right after the church and religion were removed, eventually a third war will occur in this very region that will devastate mankind, foretold by both Christianity and Islam.

Islamic Law: Why The Islamic Golden Age Existed

“Three hundred people were in a boat sailing on the sea. They realized that their safety was at risk, and the lives of the majority could only be saved by throwing 10 people overboard. Would it be morally right to kill 10 people in order to save 290?”

This case was presented by Imam al-Ghazali (d.1111) in his book on the principles of Islamic Jurisprudence (Legal theory) called “al-Mustasfa Min ‘lm al-Usul”, translated as On Legal Theory of Muslim Jurisprudence.

Today America challenges people with a similar question to justify itself, “Would you torture one person to save the lives of many?”, Imam al Ghazali answered this question, posed by the Americans, 1000 years ago. The justification of moral and legal actions in Islam is not based on personal reflection, or personal desire or personal benefits one may derive.

Without the proper civil system in place advancement in other areas of knowledge can not exist, and the islamic world went through a golden age were it excelled other parts of the world in nearly every area of life.

The majority of ulama (scholars) hold that the ahkam (Laws) of the Shari’ah contemplate certain objectives, and when they can be identified for a place or situation, it is our duty to pursue them and make an effort to implement them in order to fulfill the general objectives of the Lawgiver, Allah.

“Generally the Shari`ah is predicated on the benefits of the individual and that of the community, and its laws are designed so as to protect these benefits and facilitate improvement and perfection of the conditions of human life on earth. The Qur’an is expressive of this when it singles out the most important purpose of the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be on him) in such terms as: “We have not sent you but as a mercy to the world” (21: 107). This can also be seen perhaps in the Qur’an’s characterization of itself in that it is “a healing to the (spiritual) ailment of the hearts, guidance and mercy for the believers” (and mankind) (10: 57)”.

“The two uppermost objectives of compassion (rahmah) and guidance (huda) in the forgoing verses are then substantiated by other provisions, in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, that seek to establish justice, eliminate prejudice, and alleviate hardship. The laws of the Qur’an and the Sunnah also seek to promote cooperation and mutual support within the family and the society at large. Justice itself is a manifestation of God’s mercy as well as an objective of the Shari’ah in its own right. Compassion (rahmah) is manifested in the realization of benefit (maslahah) which the ‘Ulama’ (scholars) have generally considered to be the all-pervasive value and objective of the Shari’ah and is to all intents and purposes synonymous with rahmah” (mercy).

“Educating the individual (tahdhib al-fard) is another important objective of the Shari’ah so much so that it comes, in order of priority, even before justice and maslahah. For these are both socially-oriented values which acquire much of their meaning in the context of social relations, whereas tahdhib al-fard seeks to make every individual a trustworthy agent and carrier of the values of the Shari’ah, and it is through educating the individual that the Shari’ah seeks to realize most of its social objectives. The overall purpose of a great deal of the laws and values of the Shari’ah, especially in the spheres of ‘ibadat and moral teaching, is to train an individual who is mindful of the virtues of taqwa (god consciousness) and becomes an agent of benefit to others” as he realizes his beliefs through social action.

“The Qur’an is expressive, in numerous places and a variety of contexts, of the rationale, purpose and benefit of its laws so much so that its text becomes characteristically goal-oriented. This feature of the Qur’anic language is common to its laws on civil transactions (mu’amalat) as well as devotional matters (ibadat). Thus when the text expounds the rituals of wudu (ablution for prayer) it follows on to declare that “God does not intend to inflict hardship on you. He intends cleanliness for you and to accomplish his favor upon you” (5:6). Then with regard to the prayer itself, it is declared that “truly salah (prayer) obstructs promiscuity and evil” (29:45). With reference to jihad (struggle) the Qur’an similarly proclaims its purpose in such terms that “permission is granted to those who fight because they have been wronged” (22:39). The purpose, in other words, of legalizing jihad is to fight injustice (zulm) and the purpose of salah (prayer) is to attain spiritual purity and human excellence (Ihsan), that are accomplished together with physical cleanliness through ablution, before prayer. With reference to the law of just retaliation (qisas), the text similarly declares that “in qisas there is life for you, o people of understanding” (2:179); and with regard to poor-due (zakah, charity), the Qur’an validates it “so that wealth does not circulate only among the wealthy” (57:7). According to another text, the believers are under duty to lower their gaze in their encounter with members of the opposite sex, “for this will help you to attain greater purity” (24: 30)”.

Some Muslim scholars of jurisprudence, said that Allah revealed such a legislative system or Shari’ah in order to achieve Justice. Other jurists said it is for the purpose of achieving happiness and some others such as Imam al- Ghazali, said it is only for the achievement and the realization of the very benefits of man on earth. “The jurist’s believe that the rules of Shari’ah follow objectives (maqasid) which are in harmony with reason. A rational approach to the discovery and identification of the objectives and intentions of the Lawgiver (Allah) necessitates recourse to human intellect and judgment in the evaluation of the ahkam (laws)”.

Maqaid al-shariah (Objectives of the Shariah) explain the ‘wisdoms behind rulings,’ such as ‘enhancing social cohesion,’ which is one of the wisdoms behind charity, and looking after one’s neighbors, or greeting people with peace (Asalamu Alaikum). The wisdoms behind rulings also include ‘developing consciousness of God,’ which is one of the rationales behind regular prayers (salat), fasting (swam), and supplications (dua), being aware of Allah helps man focus on building society and contributing to it rather than it’s destruction, the result of not having a moral compass.

A community that is secure in it’s identity can be generous in regards to who can freely live within it’s borders, this is why the Muslim Khalifah’s often invited Jews and Christians being persecuted in Europe to live within islamic lands, not only setting up new communities but being allowed to govern them according to their own tenants of faith, this was the result of the work muslims did to be aware of Allah as a society, it shaped how they viewed others.

The Maqasid of the Shariah aim to achieve the greater good by opening, or blocking, certain means that lead to Harm or away from it. Thus, the maqasid for ‘preserving people’s minds and souls’ explain the total and strict Islamic ban on alcohol and intoxicants, and the maqasid for ‘protecting people’s property and honour’ explain the Qur’an’s mention of a ‘death penalty’ as a possible punishment for rape or armed robbery.

For a number of Islamic Scholars, maqasid are an alternative expression for masalih (people’s interests) “Any attempt to implement the law should take into account not only the externalities of the law but also the rationale and the intent behind it. Thus when a man utters the credo of Islam to achieve worldly gain or to attain social prestige, his confession is not valid. The reason is that the true purpose of confession to the faith is the exaltation and worship of Allah, and if this is violated, a formal confession is of no value. Similarly, if a man says a prayer for the sake of display and self-commendation, it is not valid. The real purpose and value of the law is therefore of primary importance, and indeed it is necessary that the mujtahid (legislator) identifies it so as to be able to implement the law in accordance with its purpose”.

Because Islamic Law outlined peoples rights and defined their best interests so clearly it shouldn’t be a surprise that the fathers or Europe’s enlightenment adopted from it, by the 16^th century Europe was translating almost any Islamic texts they could find, not simply Law but Medicine, Art, Mathematics, Accounting, Philosophy, History, Sociology, Geography Topography, Astronomy, Mineralogy, Mechanics, Zoology, Chemistry, Physics, etc.

To them it was a stark contrast to the dark times Europe was in but it was Islamic Law which protected peoples rights this clearly that allowed all the other areas of science to develop in an atmosphere of toleration, this began Islam’s golden Age of science and discovery.

Development Of The Maqasid Of Shariah

Because Law was one of the first sciences to be widely discussed and written about in Islam by the 16^th century it was also the most developed.

1. Al-Tirmidhi al-Hakeem (d. 296 AH/908 CE) wrote one of the first known volumes dedicated to the topic of maqasid, in which the term ‘maqasid’ was used in the book’s title, al-Salah wa Maqasiduha (Prayers and their Purposes or Objectives). The book is a survey of the wisdoms and spiritual ‘realities’ behind each of the acts of prayer, with an emphasis on the science of Ihsan (Human perfection) as mentioned in the famous Hadith of Jibril. Examples are ‘confirming humbleness’ as the maqasid (Objective) behind glorifying Allah with every move during prayers, ‘achieving consciousness’ as the maqasid (Objective) behind praising God, ‘focusing on one’s prayer’ as the maqasid (Objective) behind facing the direction of the Kabah, and so on.

Imam Al-Tirmidhi also wrote a similar book on pilgrimage, which he entitled, al-Hajj wa Asraruh, Pilgrimage and its Secrets, or inner reality, secrets here should be understood by its scientific connotation as it alludes to the physiology of the human body and the systems Allah created and placed in it, so the secrets or rather science of prayer refer to how prayer effects the physiology of the body and self, similarly with the secrets/science of Hajj.

Modern scientific terminology was only used in our era, the ancient world had its own scientific language we need to translate hence the word secret to an ancient scholar means science in todays terminology because to understand science was to understand the secrets of the universe.

2. Abu Zaid al-Balkhi (d.322 AH/933 CE). Wrote one of the first books on the maqasid of dealings (mu’amalat), al-Ibanah an ilal al-Diyanah (Revealing Purposes in Religious Practices), in which he surveys the various purposes behind Islamic rulings. Al-Balkhi also wrote a book dedicated to maslahah (public interest), which he entitled, Masalih al-Abdan wal-Anfus (Benefits for Bodies and Souls), in which he explained how Islamic practices and rulings contribute to health, physically and mentally.

It was another early work on the Physiology of the human body, specifically the connection between the practices of religion and it’s effects on the Body. Our nature is key to understanding the wisdom behind the Prophet’s and companions words, and these kind of works are at the heart of the Islamic science of Tasawwuf, sufism, which is the science of perfecting the self.

3. Al-Qaffal al-Shashi al-Kabeer (d. 365 AH/975 CE). One of the oldest manuscript in the Egyptian Dar al-Kutub on the topic of al-maqasid is al-Qaffal’s Mahasin al-Sharia (The Beauties of the Law). The work is divided into the familiar chapters of traditional books of fiqh (starting with purification, and then ablution and prayers, etc). He mentions each ruling briefly and elaborates on the purposes and wisdoms behind it.

The manuscript is fairly clear and contains around 400 pages. The last page mentions the date of the book’s completion, which is the 11th of Rabi’ul- Awwal 358 H (7th of February, 969 CE). The coverage of the rulings of fiqh is extensive, addressing individual rulings but without introducing any general theory for the purposes.

The following is a translation of an excerpt from the introduction:

… I decided to write this book to illustrate the beauties of the revealed Law, its magnanimous and moral content, and its compatibility with sound reason. I will include in it answers for those who are asking questions about the true reasons and wisdoms behind its rulings. These questions could only come from one of two persons. The first person attributes the creation of the world to its Creator and believes in the truth of prophethood, since the wisdom behind the Law is attributed to the Wise Almighty King, who prescribes to His servants what is best for them … The second person is trying to argue against prophethood and the concept of the creation of the world, or maybe is in agreement over the creation of the world while in rejection of prophethood. The logical line that this person is trying to follow is to use the invalidity of the Law as proof for the invalidity of the concept of a Law-Giver …

4. Al-Amiri al-Failasuf (d. 381 AH/991 CE) introduced one of the earliest known direct theoretical classification of purposes in his ‘al-I’lam bi-Manaqib al-Islam’ (Awareness of the Traits in Islam). Al-Amiri’s classification was solely based on ‘criminal punishments’ in Islamic law (Hudud).

The fifth Islamic century witnessed the birth of the next phase of Islamic Legal theory. Methods and tools for legal theory that were developed, by the fifth century, such as Qiyas (analogy), Ijtihad, (independent Reasoning), Istihsan (Equality of Islamic Law), become part of the greater whole as Islamic civilization became increasingly complex and it became increasingly difficult  to apply them to the greater situation the Ummah found itself in, as the world changed.

These tools helped in the understanding of how to Apply the Qur’an and Sunnah (way of the prophet) to the “overall picture” of the Ummah (muslim nation), this was done by identifying the overall objectives of the Qur’an and Sunnah and then looking at law in an abstract manner. The theory of ‘unrestricted interest’ (al-maslaha al- mursalah) was developed as a method that covers ‘what was not mentioned in the scripts.’ This theory filled a gap in the literal methodologies and, later, developed into the theory of maqasid in Islamic law.

The jurists who made the most significant contributions to the conceptualizations of maqasid, between the fifth and eighth Islamic centuries, are: Abu al-Maali al-Juwaini, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, al-Izz Ibn Abdul-Salam, Shihabuddin al-Qarafi, and, most significantly, Abu Ishaq Al-Shatibi.

5.Imam Abu al-Maali al-Juwaini (d.478 AH/1085 CE) wrote ‘al-Burhān fi Usul al-Fiqh’ (The Proof in the Fundamentals of Law), which was the first juridical treatise to introduce a theory of ‘levels of necessity’ for life in a way that is similar to today’s familiar theory. He suggested five levels of maqasid, namely, necessities (al Duraat), public needs (al-hajah al-amah), moral behaviour (al-makrumat), recommendations (al-mandubat), and ‘what cannot be attributed to a specific reason.’ He proposed that the purpose of Islamic law is the protection or inviolability (al-ismah) for people’s ‘faith, souls, minds, private parts (purity), and money.’

6.Imam Al-Juwaini’s student, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d.505 AH/1111 CE), developed his teacher’s theory further in his book, al-Mustasfa (The Purified Source). He ordered the ‘necessities’ of life that al-Juwaini had suggested in a clear arrangement, as follows: (1) faith, (2) soul, (3) mind, (4) offspring, and (5) wealth. Al-Ghazali also suggested the term of ‘preservation’ (al-Hifz) of these necessities.

Imam al-Ghazali stated that Maqasid (Objectives) and Masalih (peoples interest) did not have independent juridical legitimacy (Hujjiyah) from the Quran and Sunnah, you can’t not derive new Laws from them independent from Islams primary sources, and called them ‘the illusionary interests’ (al-masalih al-mawhumah) because they themselves are derived from the sources (Quran and Sunnah) rather than being implied literally, as other ‘clear’ Islamic rulings are. Al-Ghazali also suggested a ‘fundamental rule,’ based on the order of necessities of life, he suggested, that the higher-order of necessity should have priority over a lower-order necessity, if they are at odds with each other in practical cases.

7.Imam Al-Izz Ibn Abdul-Salam (d.660 AH/1209 CE) wrote two small books about al- maqasid, the ‘wisdoms-behind-rulings’, namely, Maqasid al-Salah (Purposes of Prayers) and Maqasid al-Sawm (Purposes of Fasting). However, his significant contribution to the development of the theory of al-maqasid was his book on (public) interests (masalih), which he called, Qawaid al-Ahkam fi Masalih al-Anam (Basic Rules Concerning People’s Interests). Beside his extensive investigation of the concepts of interest and mischief (harm), Imam al-Izz linked the validity of rulings to their purposes and the wisdoms behind them. For example, he wrote: ‘Every action that misses its purpose is void,’ and, ‘when you study how the purposes of the law brings good and prevents mischief, you realize that it is unlawful to overlook any common good or support any act of mischief in any situation, even if you have no specific evidence from the sources (Qur’an and Sunnah), consensus (Ijmaa), or analogy (Qiyas).’

Since the primary sources did not speak about every situation man could find himself in explicitly they had to be categorized underneath what Allah did mention and from this their specific ruling could be derived, this is because Allah in the Quran said “We have explained in detail in this Quran, for the benefit of Mankind, every kind of similitude: but man is, in most things, contentious.”(18:54), and “Indeed we have set forth for mankind, in this Quran every kind of parable. But if you bring to them any sign or proof, the disbelievers are sure to say: “You follow nothing but flasehood”.(30:58)

8.Imam Shihabuddin al-Qarafi (d.684 AH/1285 CE) contributed to the theory of maqasid, as we know it today, by differentiating between different actions taken by the Prophet based on the ‘intents’ of the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself. He writes in his ‘al-Furuq’ (The Differences):

There is a difference between the Prophetic actions as a conveyer of the divine message, a judge, and a leader … The implication in the law is that what he says or does as a conveyer goes as a general and permanent ruling …

The Islamist Call To Westernize The West’s Call To Islamize: Tracing The Origins Of Western Intellectual Thought

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem

The tools and methods used to dismantle the old civilizations of the world during the 19th century were the same, a call to Nationalism carried out by the Elite in each nation aided by small groups of influential people, this occurred around the world relatively during the exact same period, all of which outlines and displays the motives of this ‘world wide network’ as the prime minister of England Benjamin Disraeli put it. How else could a small Island take the world’s largest Empires, like China, India and eventually the Islamic Khalifah, it was from this sedition as John (ra) correctly called it that we saw the birth of the British Empire, a call to fake nationalism and sectarianism in order to isolate people so a world power could divide and conquer, this was followed by a propaganda campaign that caused people to follow a single world culture they perceived is far more dominant and superior, again as John (ra) foretold, people could not even imagine that anyone could defeat them or surpass them as they worked “wonders” in front of the world simply to drive their new found belief “home”.

Although the British Empire is now gone, America, again as John (ra) foretold is using the same methods through new technology to do the exact same thing. Hence tracing the origins of Western and European intellectual thought (the terms are interchangeable in this context) will demystify the nature of these civilizations, this is the core advice of Allah given to man through the companion of Jesus, John (ra) “This calls for wisdom (advice): let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man (human)” in other words demystify how you view them.

The American Founding Fathers and Islam

One of the most influential figures on the founding fathers of America was John Locke (d.1704), he was a philosopher and physician, regarded by the west as one of the most influential thinkers and known as the “Father of Classical Liberalism”. He helped western civilization finally come out of the Dark Ages Europe was relatively still in by that time, it had to move away from the rule of the totalitarian Church that rejected science and advancement in order to preserve it’s power over the world, this was achieved by relying on the works and intellectual thought of various figures through history, John Locke was one such figure.

In John Locke’s Biography, to the intellectual origins of American society, the most influential individual on Locke’s life was Edward Pococke, he was the teacher at Oxford for Arabic and Islamic studies.

After the Dark Age Europe was in, the very first edict of toleration occurs in the 17^th century in Budapest, it was done by a transelvanian unitarian ruler (a christian who did not believe in the trinity), he was directly under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire, he paid the Jizya tax for protection from other European nations in a time when the threat of war as very real  and they still conquered each other. Essentially he was calling for the very same policies the Ottomans where using in their states, and he was the first ruler to freely allow protestants to come into his land when they where being persecuted through out Europe.

The Ottoman muslims offered refuge to protestants who where being persecuted under catholic rule, they also offered refuge to the jews in sarajevo and those who fled Spain from the inquisition and went to Morocco. Historically they where treated very well in Muslim lands and reached many positions of influence, for example Rabbi Musa Bin Maimun (Maimonides) who was considered one of the greatest Rabbi’s in Jewish history was the personal Physician of Salah al Deen Ayubi (Saladin in the west) who defeated the crusaders and won back Jerusalem from Richard the king of England.

John Locke and Isaac Newton were both Unitarians or Socinians, and were influenced by Muslim philosophical thought, they in turn were among the great influences on the Founding Fathers of America, like Thomas Jefferson.

Much of what is found in the American constitution is borrowed from Islamic philosophical thought, this can be established by John Locke’s influence upon them. John Locke was Arian, Socinian and what is termed today as Unitarian, not only was he directly influenced by muslim scholars he was accused of being a muslim in his time. John Locke and Isaac Newton (1642-1727) where friends and graduates of Oxford University, and like Locke Newton was also Unitarian and accused of being a muslim in his time.

Both Locke and Newton taught at Oxford university, when they where teaching they hid their positions on many issues because of the persecution that others suffered before them. Both had a friendship with Henry Stubbe (1632-1676) who as a result of apposing the monarchy and the rule of the Church along with the establishment, went and studied christian theology only to later revolt against it, and their position on how they imposed authority on people, it was after he challenged them that he began studying Islam, which unlike Europe had a diverse community of people peacefully living alongside each other within it’s borders.

During that time of studying Islam, reading and having a copy of the Quran was a crime, hence they hid where they were taking all of there information from and what the sources where, they wrote books on the prophet Muhammad (saws), about the myth that Islam was spread by the sword, and how Islamic theology was the original and correct monotheistic theology, relied upon by earlier Christian Saints like Saint Augustine and other influential Christian Theologians, ‘it had come to purify the corruption that was caused by the Church and the Christians from the third century onwards’.

This corruption occurred when the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine (d 337AD), adopted Christianity as the state religion, He then decided through the council of Nicaea in 325AD, what the nature of the “Son of God” was, the label itself is a Jewish term for prophet’s, existing for thousands of years before hand and was never exclusive to Jesus (ra) but the Emperor wanted a way to bring the christian God into the pantheon of Roman gods so the Roman people could accept it more easily hence according to their reading of the bible the term “son of god” posed a problem for them because in the Roman religion they already had a trinity and this sounded the same.

The pagan outcome of this council then shouldn’t be surprising considering that none of the earlier religions of Allah, had claimed this pagan Roman Trinity which already existed in the Roman Religion, the religion of Abraham was entirely monotheistic right back to the first days of Man. Constantine through this same council would then decide which books to include in the Bible and which to exclude, all other books were subsequently burned and their followers massacred, as later archeological evidence would show.

These Unitarian Christians wrote to Muslim Khalifs and ambassadors, that, we are closer to you than our closeness to established Christianity, this occurred after the 16^th century and the beginning of the 17^th century.

The hole of the 17^th  century was marred by the controversies of the Socinians, and between the Church and Monarchy. John Locke who was a major influence on the American constitution itself, studied the Islamic work “Hayy bin Yaqzan” by the muslim philosopher Ibn al Tufail (d.1185) which caused him to conclude that whatever Christianity and monarchy where offering where against human nature, a concept now known as Tabula Rasa (that man was born with a blank slate) was developed and he became the father of empiricism, (that knowledge only comes from sensory perception), along with materialism and the modern sciences.

In contrast to Tabula Rasa St. Augustin viewed man as originally sinful being born with a disposition, the Cartesian position holds that man innately knows basic knowledge, that we are born with innate ideas. Tabula Rasa and innatism, or the idea of a blank slate became very common in the european world from the beginning of the thirteenth century through the translations of Islamic texts, innate means something which is in the nature of the human being, and in Islam this was termed “Fitrah”, man was born with the innate belief in God, but was otherwise a blank slate.

Thomas Jefferson was to be the lead author of the American Declaration of Independence from the British Empire, the declaration was to outline their beliefs regarding man and the reason for their split from the church controlled Monarchies. Jefferson and therefore the Declaration of Independence, was heavily influenced by John Locke, it can be seen from the list of reasons given to separate from the British Empire, Locke’s words, ideas and theories coming into play.

John Locke had given the four inalienable (Maqasid) rights of Man in his writings, Locke’s own treatises provide everyone with a right to defend their life, health, liberty or possessions.

One of the most noticeable instances of direct Islamic influence is in the preamble, where the Declaration of Independence proclaims the right of every man to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Maqasid is an Islamic term for goals and purpose, after imam Shafii developed the science of Usul al Fiqh (principles of jurisprudence), many later scholars, from the 8^th century onwards, began to write works of legal theory on the Maqasid of Shariah, or the aims and intents of Islamic Law, through these the rights and liberties of Man were clearly outlined and among the most famous scholars was Imam al Ghazali (d.1111).

The Maqasid of the Shariah aim to achieve the greater good by opening, or blocking, certain means that lead to Harm or away from it. “Maqasid al Shariah” are also the group of divine intents and moral concepts upon which the Islamic law is based, such as, justice, human dignity, free will, magnanimity, facilitation, and social cooperation.

After the era of the companions, the identification and classification of maqasid (objectives of Islamic Law) began. During the first three centuries, the idea of purposes/causes (Arabic: Hikam, ilal, munasabat, or ma’ani) appeared in the works of the Imams of the classic schools of Islamic law, such as reasoning by analogy (qiyās), juridical preference (istihsan), and interest (masalah). Purposes themselves, however, were not subjects of separate monographs until the end of the third Islamic century. Then, this work was further developed and elaborated into ‘levels of necessity’ by Imam al-Juwaini (d.478 AH/ 1085 CE).

“For a number of Islamic Scholars, maqasid are an alternative expression for masalih (people’s interests). For example, Imam Abdul-Malik al-Juwaini (d.478 AH/ 1185 CE), one of the earliest contributors to al-maqasid theory as we know it today used al-maqasid and public interests (al-masalih al-ammah) interchangeably. Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d.505 AH/1111 CE) elaborated on a classification of maqasid, which he placed entirely under what he called ‘unrestricted interests’ (al-maslaha al-mursalah). Fakhruddin al-Razi (d.606 AH/1209 CE) and al- Amidi (d.631 AH/1234 CE) followed Imam al-Ghazali in his terminology. Imam Najmuddin al-Tufi (d.716 AH/1316 CE), defined maslaha (people’s interests) as, ‘what fulfills the purpose of the Legislator.’ Al-Qarafi (d.1285 AH/1868 CE) linked maslaha (people’s interests) and maqasid (the objectives) by a ‘fundamental rule’ that stated: ‘A purpose (maqasid) is not valid unless it leads to the fulfillment of some good (marsalah) or the avoidance of some mischief (mafsadah).’ Therefore, a maqasid, purpose, objective, intent, goal, end, or principle in the Islamic law is there for the ‘interest of humanity.’”

Jefferson in the declaration summarized Locke’s “Maqasid” into three and preferred to include what other earlier muslim scholars thought should be part of the Maqasid, and that is the pursuit of Happiness.

The Declaration of Independence explains the reasons for splitting with the British Empire, it borrows heavily from Locke’s Second Treatise, which is noticeable in the almost identical preamble, but also the idea of a Natural Law (or Locke’s state of nature). Their reasons for absolving Great Britain rule was mirrored in Locke’s idea of Representative Government, which was translated into their form of Democracy.

One of the first to detail the idea of Democracy in Islam was al Farabi (d.950), he devised the different kinds of governments and concluded that the Democratic government was the government which is ruled by the people for the sake of the people, using this expression.

Thomas Jefferson himself incorporated many of the ideas from the European enlightenment which was inspired by Islamic text that were being translated on Mass to Europe to fuel these new thoughts in order to rid it of the Dark Age it was in. The right of the people to “alter or to abolish” unjust governments; the idea that it is the governments job to secure “unalienable rights”; the idea of popular sovereignty, governments derive their power from the “consent of the governed”; the idea that “all men are created equal”; these are all ideas that the enlightenment thinkers shared.

Many of the issues raised by John Locke and Thomas Jefferson are the exact terminologies or translations of the Quranic words, basically huquq al Insan, consent of the governed, and all men are created equal, are taken from the work of Ibn Tufail. John Locke believed there existed a social contract between government and its citizens as government derived its power from the consent of the governed and that people should rebel against a government that violated their natural rights; the natural rights referred to are “life, liberty and possessions.”

By this time in history the Maqasid of Shariah, Islamic Law, where well developed and three out of the famous “five Maqasid of Islamic Shariah” were used by John Locke in the Declaration of Independence. The declaration interchanges “possessions” with pursuit of happiness which some muslims Scholars believed should be included in the five Maqasid of Shariah.

The ideas that Jefferson adopted from Islam became central to the United States Government, they would eventually be incorporated into the constitution and then ground the argument of future revolutionaries both in the United States and around the world. The Declaration of Independence was paraphrased from John Locke’s 1693 work “Concerning the True Original Extent and End of Civil Government”, Presidents Adams and Madison later acknowledged that these truths where already present and borrowed from elsewhere and that “the objective (of the declaration) was to assert and not discover truth”.

Al Farabi’s (872-950) wrote on the ideal state in a book called “al Madina al Fadila”, An Ideal State, in it he divided the states into the ideal muslim states, beginning with the prophetic state, then the democratic, then comes the dictatorship (oligarchy and monarchy), he then says the best of these is the Islamic State in which the prophet or the leader (Imam) is a philosopher and a righteous person guided by Allah (swt), the second best is then the Democratic state.

The best state for Al Farabi is one that is comprised of true justice, proportionate equality, and a body of citizens who are willing to fulfill the tasks (skills) naturally endowed to them.

Al Farabi explains the most important principle of Democracy to be its freedom and that of the six Government types, including tyranny and oligarchy, the regime of Democracy occupies the privileged position of supplying the most solid and the best starting point for the establishment of the virtuous human beings. A Democracy promotes the concept of “rule by the people” which are the exact words of al Farabi. Democracy is the last step towards the Ideal state where Human beings enjoy freedoms, where everybody has a role not because they have to earn money or because of political influence but because this is their human right given to them by Allah. The best of the rulers are the ones who give the upmost freedoms to every individual in the state. And the best human beings are those who use their freedoms to accomplish to the best of their ability.

Al Farabi used the word Democratic (Democratiya) in the 9^th  century which originally came from Greek but its etymology doesn’t agree with its modern understanding; “The Democratic city is one in which each one of the citizens is given free reign and left alone to do whatever he likes. Its citizens are equal and their laws say that no man is in any way at all better than any other man…And no one…has any claim to authority unless he works to enhance their freedom…those who rule them do so by the will of the ruled, and the rulers follow the wishes of the ruled.”

The Etymology of democracy (n.) as western historians traced, goes back to the 1570s, from Middle French démocratie (14c.), and from Medieval Latin democratia (13c.). It can’t be traced any further with it’s current definition except through Islamic works which took it from the Greek word demokratia “popular government”, the word comes from two Greek words demos meaning “common people”, but whose originally ancient Greek meaning was “district” (see demotic), and kratos “rule, strength”. To the Greeks the word did not represent Democratic rule this definition was given to it by Al Farabi because that was the outline of his Book in which he used it as the second best form of government after prophetic government.

Al Faraby in the 9^th century was addressing the issue of rulers, who thought they where an exception to the rule of Shariah, Al Farabi said that the Islamic state of the present day was better than the other models being used such as Monarchy and Alegharchy but the ruling class was not accountable to those they ruled, they where not following the islamic injunction of Shura (consultation with the people), mentioned in the Quran in the chapter entitled al Shurah (the Consultation) and they were restricting freedoms, this eventuated when the original Islamic Khalifah founded upon Shura or a democratic vote was turned into Dynasties.

In the Islamic state there was much freedom, you could say what you wish and express your self freely but the exception was don’t address the ruling class. Al Faraby was addressing this issue and suggesting that to them they have not reached the level of the democratic state, and ruling by the wishes of those ruled. He suggested to the rulers that they should follow the Democratic state and then move towards to ideal state of the Prophetic Khalifah that originaly existed in Madina. The first four Khalifahs of Islam known as the rightly guided Khalifahs, al Rashidun throughout history, where known and characterized by their Shura (consultation) with the people, while later Khalifs, although they applied the laws of Shariah they where closer to a Monarchy in how they governed.

Al Farabis three Principles for Democracy were

1) Al Musaawa, Equality, All Human Beings are equal.

2) Itq or Liberty, Freedom

3) La-ikrah, there is no compulsion in religion (2:256), Financial and Social Freedom

Three of the five objectives of Islamic Law (Maqasid al Shariah) were used in the American constitution. These are translated from al Faraby into english as, Human Equality, Liberty and Freedom of Expression. From the 9^th century until the 17^th century these were the ideas being incorporated by the intellectual scholars of Europe.

The problem in Islamic lands at the time was that the ruling class where not responsible to the common people, the Oligarchy of the Ottomans was criticized by Rasul Allah (saws) himself, they put an end to the other major Khalifahs in the world and hoarded power until their eventual decline.

These three ideals were understood from the earliest days of Islam, that if man’s basic needs where not taken care of and secure he could not pursue higher forms of knowledge, man needed to be free in his life in order to be capable of dedicating it and perfecting his pursuits. Imam Abu Hanifah (d.767) the founder of one of Islam’s four legal schools of thought understood this clearly, he was himself wealthy because of his trade and on account of this understanding he used to take care of the basic needs of his students so they where not distracted by securing a livelihood, they could dedicate themselves fully to knowledge and religion.

Al Farabi enjoys the concept of Equal opportunity for happiness because he believes citizens should be able to equally engage in whatever they may choose, “the actions that are determined and directed toward happiness strengthen the part of the soul that is naturally equipped for happiness, and actualise and perfect it to the extent that the power resulting from the perfection is achieved through political activities”. (Al Farabi, On Political Science, Jurisprudence and Theology, P.38) This is the source of the pursuit of happiness of Thomas Jefferson,  and is one of the objectives that some scholars thought should be included in among the five main Maqasid of Shariah.

Freedom and Equality; The Foundation of “rule by the People” and equal engagement are the two principles that define the basis of Al Farabi’s authoritative powers; “Authority is justified only on the basis of the preservation and promotion of freedom and equality”.

Thomas Jefferson who adopted these ideas wrote about Roger Bacon, John Locke and Isaac Newton…“I consider them as the three greatest men that have ever lived, without any exception, and as having laid the foundation of those superstructures which have been raised in the Physical and Moral sciences”.

Regarding Tabula Rasa, Locke’s “theory of the mind” is often cited as the origin of modern conceptions of identity and the self, figuring prominently in the work of later philosophers such as Hume, Rousseau and Kant. Locke was the first to define the self through a continuity of consciousness. He Postulated that the mind was a blank slate or Tabula Rasa.

John Locke’s formulation of Tabula Rasa in an Essay concerning human understanding was influenced by a 17^th century translation, “Philosophus Autodidactus”, published by Edward Pococke, of the Arabic philosophical novel “Hayy ibn Yaqzan” (Lit. “Alive, Son of the Awake”), by the 12^th century Andalusian Islamic Philosopher and novelist Ibn Tufail  (d.1185) also known as Abubacer or Ebn Tophail in the west.

The word Tabula Rasa is used by Ibn Tufail whom they took it from, the word “Ra’s” means head, “tabula” means cabinet, and was originally a latin term. Contrary to pre-existing Cartesian philosophy, He maintained that we are born without innate ideas, and that knowledge is instead determined only by experience derived from sense perception.

Ibn Tufail demonstrated the theory of tabula rasa as a thought experiment through his Arabic Philosophical novel Hayy ibn Yaqzan, in which, he depicted the development of the mind of a wild child “from a Tabula Rasa to that of an adult, in complete isolation from society” on a desert island through his experience alone, the Island is what gave the child the blank slate that freed him from the preconceptions of society and was a discussion on the Islamic concept of Fitrah.

In a number of famous Ahadith, narrations, the prophet (saws) discussed Fitrah, or mans natural disposition when he is born. Abu Hurairah said that the prophet (saws) said, “No one is born except upon natural instinct, then his parents turn him into a Jew or Christian or Magian. As animals produce their young with perfect limbes, do you see anything defective? Abu hurairah said, “Recite the verse if you wish: Direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth, the nature of Allah upon which He has created the people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.”(30:30). (Bukhari and Muslim)

Philosophus Autodidactus inspired the concept of Tabula Rasa, which was developed in “An essay concerning human understanding” (1690) by John Locke, he was a student of Pococke, and who referred to his translation of the novel as a “novelty”. Philosophus Autodidactus also inspired Robert Boyle, another acquaintance of Pococke, to write his own philosophical novel set on an island, called “The Aspiring Naturalist”.

The First english translation of Hayy Ibn Yakzan was published by George Ashwell in 1686, based on Pockoke’s latin translation. The first translation of the Arabic original, entitled “The Improvement of Human Reason: Exhibited in the life of Hayy Ebn Yakdhan”, was published shortly after by Simon Ockely in 1708, followed by two more English translations. Baruch Spinoza also read the work and soon encouraged a Dutch translation published by his friend Johannes Bouwmeester in 1672. Another Dutch translation, De natuurlijke wijsgeer, was published by Adrian Reland in 1701.

Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677) was a jew living in Holland, among the jewish scholars, he was thought to have one of the most critical minds and applied the same thoughts upon Jewish Theology and scriptures, (see Darwin and his family who read this work). To modern man and society Spinoza was almost like a prophet, and to Jews he is an Athiest because he revolutionized their theology. He was the one who first requested the translation, two into the German language and another into Nederland. He also distributed it all over the region including Paris, France, where it was received by Sorbonne University, the most powerful university in France and was the centre of the french revolution, for which they where thankful and delighted with it, the work was Praised as an excellent example of classical Arabic Philosophy.

Many early and modern European scholars and writers were also influenced by “Philosophus Autodidactus”, they included Melchisedech Thevenot, John Wallis, Christian Huygens, George Keith, Robert Barclay, the Quakers, Samuel Hartlib, Karl Marx and Voltaire, these are the scholars and leaders of the enlightenment. The English translation of Hayy Ibn Yaqzan was known to the Royal Society and the New England Company in North America by 1721, when Cotton Mather’s the Christian Philosopher cited Hayy Ibn Yaqzan as an influence. Despite condemning the Mahometans as infidels, Mather viewed the protagonist of the novel, Hayy, as a model for his ideal ‘Christian Philosopher’ and monotheistic scientists’. Mather also viewed Hayy as a noble savage and applied this in the context of understanding the Native American “indians” in order to convert them to puritan Christianity.

After Locke changed his ideas and beliefs because of the work, he began to write books and was accused of being Socinian (Unitarian Christian). Unitarians where impressed by the Ottoman civilization and the concept of oneness of God, and Jesus as his prophet along with Islamic theology, they where accused of everything including being turkish or Mohamedans. Unitarians (see the Council of Rimini and Arianism), were declared heretic by the council of Nicaea in 325, before this time there where ebionites, the first Christians were the Jews who believed that Jesus was the Jewish messiah. They used an early Gospel of Matthew, and their beliefs are in accordance with the earliest reports of the gospels of Luke and Matthew, and with Jewish prophecy, they were also known as “Nazarene” the very first followers of Jesus were called the Nazoreans, (a term Used in the Quran).

In the 17^th century there where people who wrote many books saying the original christianity was Nazrean and called for a stop to the corruption and to follow the Nazrean monotheistic faith or to go back to Arianism. The church accused newton and the Unitarians of being muslim, they accused them of not following the bible but the Quran, and called for their deaths, these are the same people who now influenced modern Philosophy and science.

Darwin and Islamic Evolution

To understand where their theories on Evolution began that fueled modern ideas like Eugenics and Elitism, both of which existed in the west during the 19^th century but in a quitter form than in Germany, we should look at what Islamic Scholars said before their time.

Imam al Ghazali who died in 1111AD predating Darwin presented opposing views about creation and evolution;

“According to Mutakallimun (Scholastic theologians), the creation of strange creatures depends upon the will of the Creator in any form He wills. Even philosophers do not deny the possibility of the resurrection of bodies, as they are unanimously of opinion that all created things originate from the revolution of the heavenly bodies (attributing creation more directly to the Universe), which are living beings composed of bodies and souls and that the higher and lower beings differ from one another in their attributes and functions (this is how Philosophers saw the world).

They also believe that bodies are governed by the heavens, the heavens by the souls, the souls by the various orders of the angels, and the angels by the “Light of Lights,” who has dominion over the whole universe. It is not necessary that every preceding revolution of the celestial bodies should resemble the one following it. They believe that it is possible that such a revolution (event in the universe) might take place, as has no parallel in the history of the celestial revolutions. This is the reason why such strange animals have been created in extraordinary times as have no resemblance whatsoever with others in the Animal Kingdom. It is also possible that the revolutions of the heavenly bodies may be suitable, but the beings which they create may be unexpectedly different.” (Taken from Imam al Ghazali’s Mysteries of the human Soul.)

This is the essence of the Theory of Evolution, creatures are created from the Universe, except the Atheist version adds scientific explanations regarding the process itself but then cuts off the connection to Allah who created the Universe, just like the tribe of Thamud in Surah al Shams (91) that worshiped the celestial bodies denying their creator.

Looking at other works in History;

“Al-Razi’s twen­ty-volume book, Kitab al-Hawi (The Comprehensive Book), which covered all branches of medicine and was translated into Latin, was “probably a highly respected and frequently used medical textbook in the white world for several centuries” and was one of nine books used at the University of Paris in 1395. Another famous figure is Abu Ali al-Husein ibn Sina (Avicenna) (980–1037), whose books were encyclopedias of knowledge that included studies in mathematics, physics, physiology, hygiene, therapy, pharmacology, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, economics, politics, and music. His books were taught as main texts in “the universities of Montpellier and Louvain till the middle of the seventeenth century.” Two other Muslim physicians who influenced Europe and European medicine were Abu Bakr ibn Tufail (Abubacer) (1107–1185) and his student Ibn Rushd (Averroes) (1126–1298). Ibn Rushd wrote an encyclopedia of medicine (Kitab al-Kulliyat fil-tibb) that was translated into Latin and taught in Christian universities.

All (or many) Muslim physicians were (Monotheistic) evolutionists, and Western historians have acknowledged the fact that books of medicine written by physicians of the Golden Age of Islam served as the standard textbooks used in all medical schools in Europe until the eighteenth century. Therefore, Charles Darwin’s (1809-1882), grandfather and father, Erasmus and Robert Darwin, both physicians, were undeniably influenced by the above-mentioned textbooks.”

(It is more accurate to say Some or Many and not All physicians, since most muslim Scholars themselves did not adhere to this belief, it was not a relevant issue to be considered in everyday life so it can not have spread among the wider community as we see it today, but some minor sects did hold the belief in evolution such as the Mutazila).

“The first Latin translation of Abu Bakr ibn Tufail’s The Story of Hayy Ibn Yaqzan (which means The Journey of the Soul), The publication of many editions and different translations of this book in England and other parts of Europe in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries suggest that it was a very popular book; the probability is great, therefore, that Charles Darwin, his father, and his grandfather, all read it. Moreover, Abu Bakr ibn Tufail’s The Story of Hai bin Yaqzan is an allegorical tale of the theory of evolution of life and human society. Erasmus Darwin’s, The Temple of Nature, is mostly a poetic rendition in English of Tufail’s work. Clearly, Erasmus and Robert Darwin learned about the Muslim theory of evolution from the translations of Muslim books.”

Ibn Khaldun, the famous Muslim historiographer and social scientist, who wrote his Muqaddimah

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem

A research paper by the University of Wisconsin entitled “Afghani and Freemasonry in Egypt” researched the role played by secret societies in the political development of modern Egypt. The paper examined the activities of the separatist and political agitator Sayyid Jamal al-Din al-Afghani during his stay in Egypt in the 1870’s (1871-1879), and eventual exile. The document at it’s end reveals that Afghani having kept in close contact with W.S Blunt, in 1885, invited Afghani to come to London to discuss with British officials “the terms of a possible accord between England and Islam”, Afghani supposedly representing Islam.

During a three months’ stay as Blunt’s guest, he met high officials, including Lord Randolph Churchill (a Secretary of State) and Sir Henry Drummond Wolff. The result of these talks was that Afghani should accompany Wolff on a special mission to the Porte “with a view to his exercising his influence with the Pan-Islamic entourage of Sultan Abdu’l-Hamid in favour of a settlement which should include the evacuation of Egypt, and an English alliance against Russia with Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan.” This resulted in Sultan Abdul Hamid supposedly inviting Afghani to Turkey himself, but would rather spell out the Masonic plans for Afghani in Turkey who influenced it’s Tanzimat reforms, and helped establish opposition to the Khalifah with the founding of the Young Turks movement not long after, that replaced it all together.

The following accounts are taken entirely from the research conducted by the University of Wisconsin which is based mainly on recently discovered documents and other primary sources.

The research paper traces Afghani’s connections with Freemasonry and concludes that he attempted to use the Mason’s as a ready-made agency for political mobilization and agitation against the ruler of Egypt, Khedive Isma’il. Many of his followers, such as Muhammad ‘Abduh, Sa’d Zaghlul, Ya’qib Sannu’ and Adib Ishaq, joined the Masons, as did notables, army officers, and Isma’il’s son, Tawfiq Pasha. Disagreement between some lesser Masonic factions who did not want to get involved in politics resulted in Afghani’s formation of a “national” lodge above all other lodges, this indicated the degree of his influence and power, and from where he continued his agitation until he was expelled in August of 1879.

When Afghani arrived in Egypt in March 1871, he was given a government pension and began teaching philosophy at al-Azhar, Islam’s highest institution. Opposition from the traditional ulama (scholars) to Afghani’s reformist ideas forced him to withdraw from the mosque-university, but he continued to meet with a few students at his home. His following increased and the topics discussed in the almost daily gatherings dealt increasingly with social and political issues. By the time he was expelled in 1879 he was actively engaged in political agitation.

In the greater context of Egypt without a Khalifah Afghani preached the isolation of Egypt from the rest of the Muslim world, His divide and conquer motives would be achieved by arousing the ideas of nationalism in his followers knowing entirely that nationalism was condemned in the Quran and Sunnah, the prophet (saws) explicitly stating he came to abolish nationalism along with the racism and the classes it created.

Afghani lived in an age when Nationalism was first introduced to the world in order to divide people into increasingly smaller groups and replace their heritage, he and the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood were some of the tools used to achieve this aim by foreign powers.

“And verily this Ummah (nation) of yours is a single Ummah and I am your Lord and Cherisher: Therefore Fear Me.”(23:53)

“But people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them into sects: Each party rejoices in that which is with itself.” (30:12)

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, “He is not one us who calls for nationalism or who fights for nationalism or who dies for nationalism.” (Abu Dawwud)

Muhammad Abduh, referring to the so called illusions Muslims held about the inviolability of the umma (muslim nation) and their dreams of past glory, remarked in the same manner he would employ masonic slogans, that Afghani was particularly interested in “liberating the mind from self-deception” in other words liberating the mind from any opposition to them.

Disagreement occurred between the companions of the prophet (saws), Abu Dharr and Bilal, and Abu Dharr said to Bilal, “You son of a black woman.” The Messenger of Allah (saws) was extremely upset by Abu Dharr’s comment, so he (saws) rebuked him by saying, “That is too much, Abu Dharr. He who has a white mother has no advantage which makes him better than the son of a black mother.” This rebuke had a profound effect on Abu Dharr, who then put his head on the ground swearing that he would not raise it until Bilal put his foot over it.

This statement of Muhammad Abduh outlines the entire aim of Afghani regardless of what his propaganda claimed in front of the masses. If the mind is liberated from one thing it must be replaced by something else because it can not stay empty, it is the nature of man to form attachments because this stabilizes his self and protects him from insanity, it is because of this nature, Allah asks man to attach himself to Haq, the ultimate truths he created in the Universe, and it was to this end the prophet (saws) said “Undoubtedly Allah has removed from you the pride of arrogance of the age of Jahilliyah (ignorance, before Islam) and the glorification of (tribal) ancestors (seen as national heroes). Now people are of two kinds. Either believers who are aware (of what is right and wrong), or transgressors who do wrong (and commit injustice). You are all the children of Adam and Adam was made of clay. People should give up their pride in nations because that is a coal from the coals of Hell-fire. If they do not give this up Allah (swt) will consider them lower than the lowly worm which pushes itself through dung.”

Afghani liberated peoples minds from “this reality”, and attached it to his temporary goals through slogans and short sighted idealism that ultimately only achieved his aim.

Ahmad Shafiq adds that he often heard Afghani preach “with courage and candor the fundamental precepts of patriotism,” the rights and duties of citizens, the obligations of rulers toward their subjects, the responsibility of governmental officials for their actions and the principle of justice under law…as if Islam had not been the one to establish these things 1400 years earlier, the underlaying context to everything He said was the isolation of Egypt from the rest of the Islamic world.

It was through such slogans and blind idealism that Afghani would move people away from one ideology just so they can embrace another. One look at Islam’s legal history will show that the modern legal system is almost entirely indebted to the sciences developed by Islam’s scholars none less so then it’s founding of the principles of jurisprudence, regarding which the prophet (saws) said about it’s founder, Imam Shafii, “O Allah! Guide (the tribe of) Quraysh, for the science of the scholar that comes from them will encompass the earth. O Allah! You have let the first of them taste bitterness, so let the latter of them taste reward.”

Afghani grew increasingly critical of Ismail’s policies this disaffection was first voiced in secret, and mainly Masonic societies. By 1879—the year of Ismail’s deposition—it had become an open campaign.

Freemasonry was introduced into Egypt in 1798 by officers of the invading French army, under the rule of Muhammad Ali several lodges were founded under the jurisdiction of the Grand Orient of France. By the 1860s, a host of chapters were formed under the jurisdiction of a variety of Rites: French, English, Scottish, Italian, German and Greek, eight lodges were founded between 1862 and 1868 under the United Grand Lodge of England alone.

Although all of these were presumably started by European residents, many of them included Egyptian intellectuals, professionals and notables. Most important and influential among these was Prince ‘Abd al-Halim Pasha, Muhammad Ali’s youngest son, who in 1867 was elected Grand Master of the Order of the Grand Orient of Egypt.

Some Italian chapters, for instance, harbored conspirators against the Italian Royal House and underworld criminals. In terms of Egyptian politics, Freemasonry offered a ready-made organization for those interested in subversive activities against the Khedive Isma’il. Two personalities who utilized the Masons for this purpose were Afghani and ‘Abd al-Halim. The latter, who felt swindled when Isma’il obtained the Sultan’s approval to replace the Ottoman law of succession (where the oldest living male member of the ruling family inherits the throne) with primogeniture, used his Masonic connections without success in directing anti-Isma’il propaganda both in Egypt and in exile.

Afghani himself kept few records and any kept by the lodges have not yet come to light, except for a group of recently discovered papers belonging to Afghani. Along with numerous contemporary reports, these have now been pieced together and the following description of the nature and scope of Afghani’s covert activities in Egypt made clear.

Afghani’s earliest known contact with the Masons is a letter dated May, 1875 requesting his admission into one of the lodges in Cairo. The letter does not reveal the name of the lodge, but its identity is not vital since Afghani soon belonged to several lodges. Other documents show that he was invited to attend sessions in various lodges until he left Egypt. Among these were the Italian Luce d’Oriente, Nilo and Mazzini. It would appear that at least between 1877 and 1879 he belonged to one or more of these, because the invitations he received concerned the election of new members and memorial services for past members. In other documents he is identified as a member of the Nile lodge of Cairo which was affiliated with the National Grand Lodge of Egypt (one of three Grand Masonic bodies established in May, 1878 when the French Grand Orient was reorganized).

Afghani was also a leading member of the Star of the East (Kawkab al-Sharq), his member number was 1355, it was founded in Cairo in 1871 and affiliated with the United Grand Lodge of England. According to Mohammed Sabry, it was the British Vice-Consul in Cairo, Raphael Borg, himself a Mason, who urged Afghani and his followers through this chapter.

Soon it had many members from the Egyptian elite, including Tawflq Pasha (Ismail’s son), Sharif Pasha, Butrus Pasha Ghall, Sulayman Pasha ‘Abaza, Muhammad “Abduh, Sa’d Zaghlul, army officers like Latif Bey Salim and Sa’id Nasr, members of the Assembly of Delegates and even ‘ulama’ (so called scholars).

The following January 1878, just a year after joining he was elected president of the lodge, indicating his vast connections and competency with the occult.

Another document is an invitation, dated 3 February, 1879, asking Afghani to attend a meeting at the “Greek lodge of Cairo” Finally, a letter written in Paris in March, 1884 indicates that Afghani applied for membership in one of the local chapters when he was residing in the French capital.

Masonic lodges were eminently suited for the covert activities he wished to advocate. They provided the machinery for organized agitation against Isma’il’s policies. In these efforts, Afghani was aided by some of his own disciples whom he persuaded to join the Mason’s. Muhammad Abduh would join, and in 1875, the Jewish Egyptian nationalist Ya’qub Sannu’ became a Mason, later Sa’d Zaghlul, ‘Abd al-Salam al-Muwaylihl, Adlb Ishaq, Sallm al-Naqqash and Ibrahim al-Laqqanl were also initiated.

Afghani’s efforts to politicize his fellow Egyptian Masons were initially opposed by those not used to such activities. Eventually, Afghani withdrew from the lodge and formed another lodge under his own leadership. Afghani did so after he “realized that he could not work with those brothers while they were in this state of indifference, fear and cowardice.”

Another account was given by Rashid Rida, the student of Muhammad Abduh. Basing his story on information from ‘Abduh, he states that “the initial cause for the withdrawal of Afghani and ‘Abduh was an incident which took place during a visit to Egypt by the English Grand Master, the Prince of Wales. The Masonic lodges honored the visitor lavishly and when one of the leading members addressed him as Crown Prince, Afghani objected that it was not permissible to address any member as such (members having to leave their status at the door) “even though he was the heir to the British Empire”, his symbolic objections to the prince may account for his future allegiances. Furthermore, the British government had not conferred any favors upon the lodge yet. Some of the leaders, however, repudiated these statements and after a debate, Afghani withdrew along with a select group of followers.

The Star of the East lodge was affiliated with the United Grand Lodge of England. He was installed as head in January, 1878, while the rupture between the English and French Masons had taken place in 1877. Moreover, he was a member of the Nile lodge at least as late as August, 1878, “as its model”, this lodge “follows the

Allah’s messenger (saws) said “You will indeed follow the ways of those before you, hand span by hand span, and an arms length after another. Even if they enter into a lizards hole, you will follow them.” We asked, “Is it the Jews and Christians?” He (saws) replied, “Who else!” (Bukhari).

Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established till the buttocks of the women of the tribe of Daus move while going round Dhi-al-Khalasa.” (A pagan idol, meaning they will worship the devils behind them) (Bukhari)

The lizards hole is a simile for tunnel vision, or the myopic view of the world the west adopted through it’s occult societies that came to rule it, the companion of Jesus (as) John mentioned this would occur in the book of revelations, they followed the Dragon (Iblis) as he gave them his power and along with it control over the shayateen (devils) of the world, they where never able to turn back drunk on the power of Sihr (dark magic) they gained through them.

The prophet (saws) referring to the end of the Khalifah said “My community will be destroyed because of evil scholars and ignorant servants” (Darimi)

It was through the figures and groups mentioned in this section that the Islamic Khalifah would end, all Islamic institutions would be besieged until every one of their members is replaced by nefarious people bent on deceiving the Ummah. This was the beginning of Maskh (the deliberate stunting people’s intellects) in the ummah of the prophet (saws), and it was through these institutions they came to control that Maskh of the entire muslim population would occur as the prophet (saws) said, eventually the deception of peoples intellects would also be done through other methods as the schooling system was corrupted.

The prophet (saws) swore by Allah himself that this would occur to His community, the Prophet (saws) said, “By the One Who has sent me with the Truth, this world will not come to an end until they are afflicted with Al-Khasf (earth- quakes), Al-Qadhf (Bombardment), and Al-Maskh (emergence of people who perform maskh on other’s).”

The prophet (saws) clearly stated that peoples intellects would be deliberately deceived on mass, this is a reference to every institution and especially schools that are now responsible for raising children and developing their capacity and intellects. The prophets (saws) is referring to the time period He (saws) was talking about, and the places responsible for the intellect of society, which are the schools and intuitions of higher learning.

The schooling system today is developed by those in charge of society, how the intentional dumbing down of society and the world occurred is well documented and written about, it occurred with the deliberate invention of adolescence and the lifestyles that went with it which purposefully kept people immature longer without experiencing responsibility for an extended number of years. In life, business and the world it is much easier to take candy from a child than a responsible adult. Prior to the modern age kids went straight from childhood to adulthood through rights of passage that made them understand adulthood, adolescence historically did not exist before 1900. Adulthood usually coincided with puberty, in Islam once a child went through puberty he was responsible for his own actions as an adult and the law and society treated him as such, in Europe if you committed a crime you received the same sentence as any other adult.

The companions said in reference to the madness in the world today shocked people would act so blindly or immaturely…“And while the book of Allah will be still with us?!” He said: “While the book of Allah will be still with you.” We said: “Subhan’Allaah!! And while our intellects will be conscious?!” He said: “No, no, the intellects of the general masses at that time will be deceived! They will be following fools that have no intellects themselves. They will be assuming they have a (legitimate) cause, but they will not have a (legitimate) cause.” (Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban)

The people mentioned in this article began this corruption in the Muslim Ummah before WW1, today their sect is the largest force of corruption on earth, it is the reason why mainly corrupt scholars exist in our Masjids who practice the Maskh (deception and dumbing down) of peoples intellects and islamic education is as brain dead as learning the ABC’s over and over, again and again. If you don’t expose people to real wisdom they won’t ever recognise wisdom, if you don’t expose them to real intellectual discourse they won’t ever recognise real intelligence, what we know as the adolescent years are in reality the crucial years of human development when a person is developing life long habits and their ultimate view of the world. But today kids are deliberately encouraged to waste their time fooled into thinking they can take responsibility later in life, physiologically their bodies are not built that way once you develop your character during the adolescent years it shapes the rest of your life, kids are trained to behave as idiots to ultimately create people not capable of critical thinking so they can be easily manipulated in life by those properly educated.

The Prophet (saws) said “such a time will come when the scholars will be an element of Mischief” (Abu Nuaim)

The prophet (saws) said “The hour will not come until renunciation of this world (the heart of spiritual life) no longer remains in peoples vocabulary (religious institutions and their scholars no longer teach it), and until fear of Allah also becomes artificial” (it is fake, your supposed to have it but no one actually does) (Jamiu al Sahgir, Imam Suyuti)

The prophet (saws) said “Such a time will come to people that only the name of Islam and the image of the Quran will remain (people won’t know actual Islamic knowledge that shapes peoples live and everything will be superficial, this situation was manufactured in society by those in charge of educating it). Mosques will be prosperous on the outside (they have the appearance that everything is fine), but will have no salvation in them. Their scholars will be the most evil under the sky. Corruption (at the end of time) emerged from them and will return to them.” (Al Bayhaqi)

Ignorance will be so widespread because they have succeeded in deliberately making religion irrelevant, the prophet (saws) said “A time will come when a man will not care about how he gets things, whether lawful of unlawful.” (Bukhari) because society won’t care about it any longer and he won’t know why he should care for it any longer.

The prophet (saws) said “Near the establishment of the hour there will days during which ignorance will spread, knowledge will be taken away and there will be much Harj, and al Harj means killing.”(Bukhari)

Allah’s messenger (saws) mentioned something and said “It will happen when knowledge will be no more. (Ziyad) said: “Allah’s messenger, how will knowledge vanish despite the fact that we will be reciting the Quran and teaching its recitation to our children and our children will teach it’s recitation to their children up to the day of Resurrection?” thereupon he (saws) said: “Ziyad, do these jews and christians not recite the Torah and the bible but not act according to what is contained in them?” (Ahmad, Ibn Maaja, Tirmidhi). Because everything will deliberately be made superficial they will no longer act on anything.

The prophet (saws) referring to scholars said “Wolves (scholars who use people up) will give readings in the end of time. Let those who come to those times seek shelter from their evil in Allah. They will be very corrupt people. Hypocrisy will prevail, and nobody will be ashamed of it and it’s manifestations (appearance in society).”(Tirmidhi)

People did not stop acting according to the Quran all by themselves, the belief and love for it was strong even after WW1 so they had to be deliberately manoeuvred away, because people of wealth now gained power only through the occult, the myopic world view the prophet (saws) said they would adopt, they shaped society into their own image where the privileged used the rest of society for their occult purposes, we will later outline what an occultist needs from other people to increase their influence and power, it should suffice for now to know that Allah would not send the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) who is a Sahir (occultist) to punish the whole world with the occult unless the entire world isn’t already lost in it, Allah would have sent another form of punishment upon mankind.

Just as the prophet (saws) called Him the great deceiver because of his sir (dark magic) he uses to enthral people, the world is being deceived through it in turn, capitalism is big business and it is big money to enthral people to your products.

It began just before WW1 and this article Insha Allah will outline who did this and what is occurring in the world today because of them.

Ultimately because of this the muslim world would then suffer the consequence of following the Kufar into this lizards hole and the women of the tribe of Daus will worship the pagan idol Dhi-al-Khalasa, hence entire Arab tribes will go back to following devils.

He (saws) said about the people spreading this fitnah in the Ummah, they “shall continue to appear until the last of them appears with the Anti-Christ”, if we consider how many scholars are in the muslim world today the prophet (saws) said “Seventy thousand scholars wearing turbans from my community will follow the Antichrist” (Ahmad ibn Hanbal), they will believe what he believes and practice the occult (dark magic) he practices.

Allah in clear terms condemns these people in the Quran, saying they are his prophets enemies who He (saws) will speak against on the day of judgment, “The Day that the wrong-doer will bite at his hands, he will say, “Oh! would that I had taken a (straight) path with the Messenger!“”Ah! woe is me! Would that I had never taken such a one for a friend!“”He did lead me astray from the Message (of Allah) after it had come to me! Ah! the Evil One is but a traitor to man!” Then the Messenger (of Allah) will say (on the day of judgment): “O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur’an for just foolish nonsense.” Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help. (25:27-31)

The Atheist Jamal al din al Afghani

“Woe to you! Forge not ye a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you utterly by chastisement: the forger must suffer frustration!” (20:61)

“These two are certainly (expert) magicians: their object is to drive you out from your land with their magic, and to do away with your most cherished institutions.” (20:63)

An afghani by ancestry he was born in 1838 in Asadbad Iran, near Hamadan which was an Ismaili settlement, and died in Istanbul, Turkey in 1897. Like the Shia Ismaili’s before him Afghani believed in the “need of religion for the masses”, while reserving the subtle truth of Atheism for the elite. He was one of the founders of the so called “Islamic Modernism” movement of the 19^th century which was entirely aimed at ridding the muslim world of it’s heritage by making it adopt the western lifestyle he practiced, along with all of it’s vices, in the guise of religious reform. His call for muslim “solidarity”, in spite of the fact muslims lived under a single khalifa, influenced Egypt’s nationalist movement, Turkey’s Tanzimat reforms, as well as Iran’s constitutional and islamic revolutions.

“Much as Ismaili doctrines had in earlier centuries provided different levels of interpretation for the same texts, binding the masses and elite in a common program, so Jamal ud Din’s practice of different levels of teachings could weld the rationalist elite and the more religious masses into a common and controllable political movement”. Because this way of looking at the world placed no value on anything in life, while everything has value, in essence this desensitization of the world meant ‘believe what you want as long as you do what we say’.

These so called “thinkers” had no real scientific knowledge or training, they couldn’t comprehend that religion was there to help man navigate the harmful effects of the spiritual world, the quantum universe, created through mans actions, everything in life had value because “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”, they instead wanted to control man through the spiritual world with sihr, the occult, something Allah warned us about.

His ideas were the precursor to other movements that would come later, many would achieve his aims like the Young Turks in Turkey, as well as the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafi movements in Egypt, that he and his students founded.

He was first educated at home and then taken by his father to further his education at Qazvin, Tehran and finally to the shia shrine cities in Iraq, it was thought that followers of the shia “revivalist” Shaykh Ahmad Ahsai had an influence on him, he was accused by many to be Shia but claimed to be Sunni, ultimately he did not practice any religion or observe any of Islam’s pillars.

At the age of 17 he traveled to British India and studied there, in 1859 early in his life, a British spy reported that Al Afghani was a possible Russian Agent. In 1866 he spent time in Kandahar, Ghazni and Kabul in Afghanistan, He became the counselor to king Dost Muhammad kahn and later Muhammad Azam. In 1868 the throne of Kabul was occupied by Sher Ali Kahn and al Afghani was forced to leave the country, he traveled to Constantinople in Turkey and Cario in Egypt, were he met one of his most devoted students Muhammad Abduh, the teacher of Rashid Rida who would spread the salafi movement they founded in Lebanon.

While in Egypt he joined the Star of the East Masonic temple, on the 7 July 1868 during his stay, his membership number was 1355, he also later founded the Masonic Lodge of Cairo and became it’s first Grand Master, and he joined the French Grand Orient similarly becoming Grand Master of it, all indications of his competency with the occult, (his history in Egypt and with the Masons has been outlined in the next section entitled, ‘Nationalism Is Created In Egypt’, based on research into Afghani’s life, carried out by the University of Wisconsin).

Ali Pasha (d.1871) brought him to Istanbul and assigned him duties, Hasan Tahsin, the rector of the university of Istanbul, a Mason educated in Paris by the grand vizer of the Ottomans, Reshid Pasha, similarly a Mason and known best as the chief architect behind the Tanzimat reforms of the Ottoman government and was declared a disbeliever by Shaykh al Islam Hasan Fahmi Effendi, allowed al Afghani to give lectures that year.

But when his beliefs became apparent and spoke recklessly, the great scholar Shaykh Fehmi, who was the 110^th Shaykh al Islam of the Ottoman Empire, gave the fatwa that Jamal al Din al Afghani was a disbeliever (Kafir).

His Masonic fealty allowed him to travel the world placing him in position’s of influence were ever he went to achieve their political aims. In 1871, al Afghani moved to Egypt and began preaching his ideas of “political reform”, there he was also declared a radical and exiled in 1879, He then traveled to different cities in Europe and Russia (shortly before the Tzar was overthrown), Paris, London, Moscow and Munich among others. In 1884 he began publishing an Arabic newspaper in Paris with Muhammad Abduh entitled “The Indissoluble Link” and began a society by that name, they wrote many harmful articles on reform in religion, and in 1886 he went to Iran and tried to stir up rebellion there but was exiled from the country fastened with chains he was left inside Ottoman borders by five hundred Iranian cavalrymen. He then went to Baghdad and London and wrote articles against Iran, later he would come back to Istanbul were he cooperated with the British Bahai’s, a religion invented by the British Empire in Iran to divide and colonize it’s people, and so he made religion a means for his political gain and personal profit.

Not knowing who he worked for and because of the reputation as a reformer he acquired internationally, while under much pressure to make western reforms Sultan Abdul Hammid the 2nd in 1892 invited him to live in Constantinople, the Sultan hoped to use him for Pan-islamism propaganda, it was not long after this that opposition to the Ottomans began to take root with the later formation of the Young Turks who would eventually overthrow the Ottoman Khalifah, they formed from the previously banned Young Ottomans movement and were mostly muslims of Jewish decent, by 1902 they held the first Congress of Ottoman Opposition.

In 1896 Al Afghani’s chin became cancerous and he died of throat cancer in 1897, as Islam indicates the manner of death tells us Allah’s decree and punishment on a person.

Afghani and The Creation Of The Nazi Party

“Say ye about the truth when it hath reached you? Is sorcery (like) this? But sorcerers will not prosper.” (10:77)

Afghani was also a representative of a semi Masonic society which represented the teachings of the Ismaili’s more closely, this became known as the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor in the west, and first became public in 1884. It was the Ismailis through the Hashashin (Assassins), a cult that was formed by exiled shia Fatimid rulers after 1094 AD, who perfected the methods of corrupting an opponent internally and indoctrinating them through the use of drugs and other chemical cocktails, these methods would be used by later occultist’s like Afghani and the Masons.

Afghani was one of the teachers of Helena Blavatsky a 19^th century medium, psychic and occultist, through Afghani she acquired her central doctrines derived from Ismaili teachings which she would then teach to western occult communities. Her teachings established a prominent occult society known as the Golden Dawn, which emerged out of Afghani’s contacts with leaders of Egyptian Masonry. In 1872 when Egyptian Masonry came to be known as the Primitive Rite, the Grand Mastership of the order was assumed by John Yarker who knew Blavatsky having met her in England in 1878. It was John Yarker who provided a charter for the founding of the O.T.O (Order Templi Orients), or Order of Eastern Templars, it’s inner circle was organized in parallel to the highest degrees of Egyptian Rite Masonry and the esoteric doctrines of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, in this way Afghani and his occult teachings would influence both groups.

Leadership of the O.T.O was succeeded by the notorious Aleister Crowley a student of the Golden Dawn and Helena Blavatsky. The Nazi party created by Masonry, at the core represented an occult society that grew out of associations and meetings around Jamal ud Din Afghani’s teachings and His Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor. The Nazi party was the result of merging the O.T.O of Crowley and the Thule Gesselschaft of Germany, one look at the despicable and horrendous life of Crowley, which can be googled, will show why the Nazi party was likewise brutal and horrific, to this day eye witness accounts of hitler testify to his use of the occult people would go to his speeches convinced he is a madman only to come out ready to die for him.

The chief architect of the Thule group was Baron Rudolf von Sebottendorff, who had contact with Dervish orders and knew much about Islamic Mysticism and Sufism. In 1919 the members of the Thule Society formed a political party named the Germany Workers Party. This was in turn later renamed the “National Socialist German Workers Party” more popularly known as the Nazi’s, by Adolf Hitler in 1920. The two factions, that developed out of Afghani’s influence, the Nazi’s and Salafi movement, would eventually work together to revive the ancient mind control methods of the Ismailis, made famous by the Ismaili group the Hashashins, literally in arabic those who use drugs.

The Heretic Sectarian Muhammad Abduh

“What ye have brought is sorcery: Allah will surely make it of no effect: for Allah prospereth not the work of those who make mischief.” (10:81)

Muhammad Abduh was the main student of Afghani, Half Turkish and Half Arab he was born in 1849 and died in 1905, he was labeled a Mutazili by scholars after the heretical Mutazili sect which persecuted Imam Nu’aym ibn Hammad, and like Afghani he was also a Mason and had a close relationship to the Bahai religion due to Afghani and his Masonic affiliations. Under al Afghani, Abduh combined journalism, politics with his own fascination with Islamic Mysticism and the Occult (Sihr).

At the age of 28 Abduh joined the Masonic Lodge, the Kawakab al Sharq, Planet of the East, it’s members included Prince Tawfiq, the Khedive’s (ruler of Egypt) son and heir, leading personalities such as Muhammad Pasha who had been a minister, Sulayman Abaza Pasha and Saad Zaghlul. A.M. Broadbent declared that Abduh was a zealous Master of a masonic lodge, in line with Masonic principles, and stated that Afghani “looked forward to seeing Muslims read the torah and bible”.

Abduh was asked why he and his teacher Afghani had become Masons, he replied it was for political and social purposes, hoping to further these through the occult, something the bible related many would turn to because of the power given to them by the Dragon, Iblis (Allah’s curse be upon him).

In 1887 he was granted the degree of Alim (teacher) and began to teach logic, theology and ethics at al Azhar University, both his father and mother where from the ruling elite of Egypt. In 1887 he was appointed professor of history at Cairo’s teachers training college, later it became part of Cairo University, and was also appointed to teach Arabic at the Khedivial school of languages, all key positions aimed at influencing and molding the next generation of teachers in Egypt.

Abduh was then appointed editor and chief of al Waqai al Misriyya the official state newspaper. In 1870 when al Afghani was exiled Abduh was exiled to his home village, but the following year he was granted control of the national gazette and used this as a means to spread his sectarian beliefs. He was then exiled from Egypt for his role in the Egyptian national revolt in 1879. He spent several years in Ottoman Lebanon were he corrupted the local Islamic education system. In 1884 he moved to Paris were he joined al Afghani, he also visited Britain and discussed the state of Egypt and Sudan with high ranking British Officials. He then returned to Ottoman Lebanon were he furthered his corrupt aims by spreading his twisted version of Islam to those who didn’t know his background.

He then returned to Egypt in 1888 and was appointed as a Judge and in 1891 he became a consultative member for the court of appeal. In 1899 he was appointed Gran Mufti of all Egypt and held the position until he died.

This back and forth, up and down career may seem confusing but is actually the clearest indication of corruption and political struggle between orthodox Islam and western forces, at the time they were trying to dismantle traditional Islamic institutions by injecting their own followers and educators into key positions, it was part of their long term goal to corrupt the Egyptians understanding of Islam by making them learn it from heretical figures whose background and history was unknown to them.

Abduh was one of the founders of the Salafi movement, claiming his teachings were from the ‘Salaf’ directly, a slogan he would throw in peoples faces to deflect from the truth. He was one of the first to use the famous Salafi formula and slogan that Islam “must be taken from the salaf”, the earliest generations of muslims, but it was largely a mask hiding the rest of his teachings, he considered himself a “liberal” salafi, in stark contrast to the actual Salaf, but some of his students went a different way like Rashid Rida.

His methods for converting people were to loudly proclaimed he was a Salafi only teaching the purest islam which was his slogan, anyone that would be attracted by it, it would take them a long time to figure out that anything was wrong but by that time they had already filled their minds with a twisted version of religion and didn’t know the first place to begin in riding themselves of it. Combine this with his practice of the occult in indoctrinating to his beliefs we can see his methods were very effective in converting any and all people.

In his position as the “highest” Islamic Authority in the land Abduh gave many anti islamic rulings like permitting riba loans, this “endeared” him to the British who some falsely claimed he disliked, he died in Alexandria in 1905.

The Separatist Kafir Rashid Rida

“He said: ‘Hast thou come to drive us out of our land with thy magic’” (20:57)

One of Abduh’s most important students Muhammad Rashid Rida was an early radical islamist, his works would inspire Hassan al Banna the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as his successor Syyid Qutb. After Abduh died Rashid Rida was Abduh’s leading Successor who continued his work, he was born in Ottoman Syria in 1865 and died in 1935, his heretical ideas would influence later 20^th century Islamist extremists in developing their twisted and myopic idea of what an Islamic state is.

He was said to be one of his generations most controversial thinkers who was deeply influenced by the early Salafi movement founded by Afghani and Abduh. In 1884-5 he was first exposed to al Urwa al Wathqa, the journal of al Afghani and Abduh and in 1897 he left Syria for Cairo to collaborate with Abduh in his work, the following Year they Launched ‘al Manar’, a weekly and then monthly journal which Rida worked on until his death in 1935.

Al Mannar was one of Hasan al Banna’s main source of inspiration before founding the Muslim Brotherhood, Muhammad Asad the Quran translator was a new convert to Islam at the time fell in with the Muslim Brotherhood and took much from the works of Rashid Rida, he quotes al Manar often in his translation of the Quran it is his second or third most referenced source.

Rashid Rida was a leading exponent of Salafism, and was especially critical of what he termed “blind following” of traditional Islam, a slogan designed to twist the perspective of young minds, making them automatically defensive about subjects they hadn’t even learnt yet. He encouraged both the laymen and educated to interpret Islam’s main sources, the Quran and Sunnah, for themselves inventing their own legal rulings as they liked, the result of this in the wider society served nothing but his greater aims of anarchy.

He believed in Darwin’s original theory on evolution, which is now outdated, and to justify this Rida considered it permissible to “interpret” Quranic accounts in an entirely allegorical manner, like the story of Adam. He believed the origin of the human race was a history derived from the Jews and that muslims are not obliged to believe it, hence after nullifying entire passages in the Quran he could then discard them outright paving the way for his own teachings.

Along with his support for the British against the Ottomans, he held a number of delusional beliefs such as his view that microbes are possibly a species of Jinn, he permitted riba, interest on loans, and the construction of statues despite later salafi’s having a fanatical stance regarding them.

Rida deliberately engineered his attacks and blamed Islam’s downfall, first on Sufi excesses in worship as if prayer could lead to a persons downfall, the blind imitation of the past despite the fact that the Ottoman Empire he was attacking had the most sophisticated Legal and Bureachratic system in the world and was not the cause for its downfall. The failure to achieve progress in science and technology was placed squarely at the feet of Islam’s religious scholars despite the fact this was not their role or profession in life, and again in spite of the fact the Ottoman Khalifah was still amongst the most advanced Empires on earth.

They had to maintain one of the worlds largest empires, hence undeveloped areas within it’s vast borders were compared to the most dense cultural centers in Europe for the sake of ridicule.

In contrast to the Ottomans the British Empire was simply siphoning of the wealth of it’s colonies to maintain it’s small island, this was the same with the rest of Europe who also had colonies around the world. They did this to the America’s, Africa and India just to surpass the Ottomans who’s expansionist nature terrified them prior to the 18th century and Napoleon’s conquer of Egypt, the event that first changed their perception of an undefeatable Islamic Khalifah.

He made these claims all the while knowing that the scholars he was criticizing were being replaced by heretics like himself in all the key educational positions to deliberately stunt growth and stop advancement, essentially he was stirring up mobs around the Muslim world to target what ever was left of traditional Muslim society and it’s institutions by that time.

To achieve this he helped engineer and popularized some of the salafi movements most famous slogans, like a return to pure islam, which he said was achieved by every person inventing their own religious rulings.

Despite these seemingly obscure views Rida was a Mason like his teachers, his works spread around the Muslim world influencing many individuals including the popular Salafi writer Nasir al din al Albani who quotes it and said it was one of the most influential works on his life.

Rida’s ideas were foundational to how modern sects viewed the “Modern” Islamic state, everything he wrote was to subvertly and subtly make muslims conclude against Islam’s Schools of Law (Madhabs), he understood that if muslims believed that they came to this conclusion by themselves, then that idea would have a longer lasting effect in the larger Islamic community.

The Heretics Plans

“But we can surely produce magic to match thine! So make a tryst between us and thee, which we shall not fail to keep – neither we nor thou – in a place where both shall have even chances.” (20:58)

Before we continue we should state most of this information is public knowledge, in fact each of these individuals background was largely sourced from their respective Wikipedia pages (among other sources) along with Afghani’s Masonic lodge number. We should also add, because there is a lot of confusion, that the Salafi movement and the Wahhabi movement are two different groups, the Wahhabi’s are the people of Saudi Arabia the movement began 250 years ago in that country, the Salafi movement was started in Egypt by these people before WW1, the Saudi Government doesn’t control the Salafi movement which is a separate group.

Documented reports which showed that Al Afghani and Adbuh visited and may have also belonged to the Oxford Masonic Lodge, illustrated the relationship between these early Salafi leaders and the British government, who used these lodges as a world wide network. This group of radical islamic missionaries was appointed by a combined effort of Oxford University, the Anglican Church, and Kings College University under Scottish Rite Masonry, as part of their plan “to foster the creation of an occult brotherhood in the Muslim world” to further the British Empire’s goals in the region (Source: David Livingstone).

They were tasked with creating the Salafi movement along with it’s many offshoots just as the British created the Bahai religion In Iran and the Ahmadi religion of Pakistan, along with other groups around the world all designed to sow dissension in their communities so they could be more easily be colonized by the British Empire at a later time.

The Prime Minister of England at the time, Benjamin Disraeli (d.1881), and a Mason involved in these affairs said “the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes”, in a parliamentary debate he elaborated on the wider matter: “It is useless to deny…a great part of Europe, the whole of Italy and France, and a great portion of Germany, to say nothing of other countries are covered with a network of these secret societies, just as the superficies of the earth is now being covered by railroads. And what are their objectives? They do not attempt to conceal them. They do not want constitutional government. They do not want ameliorated (improved) institutions; they do not want provincial councils nor the recording of votes; they want…an end to ecclesiastical (religious) establishments.” (Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates)

Their war on these institutions is something the Prophet (saws) mentioned, similarly the companion of Jesus, John (as) states this as being the aim of the British Empire at the turn of the last Century and the aim of America later on, and this will be the main reason Allah destroys America. They are against these institutions because real religion is the only thing that can challenge their occult practices destroying it’s effects entirely, which they use to manipulate people and affairs.

Secularism by contrast to religion places you deeper under occult influence so it shouldn’t be amazing to hear all this considering that most modern societies became secular despite the fact their populations were still largely religious this isn’t representative government this is deliberate planning, the book of revelations goes so far as to even mention the capitalist system that will be used to control nations by these occultists.

The prophet (saws) instructed Muslims to stay with the main body of the Ummah and avoid these sects invented by occult figures. “their object is to drive you out from your land with their magic, and to do away with your most cherished institutions.” (20:63)

“In 1854 and 1856, Ferdinand de Lesseps obtained concessions from Said Pasha, the viceroy of Egypt, who authorized the creation of a company for the purpose of constructing a maritime canal in Egypt open to ships of all nations for a fee. The canal had a dramatic impact on world trade as they no longer needed to travel around Africa to get to Asia, it played an important role in increasing European penetration around the world and the colonization of Africa.

In 1875 the mounting debts of Said Pasha’s successor, forced him to sell Egypt’s share in the canal to the British. Under Benjamin Disraeli they now owned nearly half the total shares in the Suez Canal Company, the controlling interest. A commission of inquiry into the failing finances of the Egyptian Ismail in 1878 by the British Earl of Cromer and others, had compelled the viceroy into further ceding his estates to the nation to remain under British and French Supervision. This angered Egyptians whose leaders now did not even own their own property, they united around Ahmed Urbi which lead to a revolt against Egyptian leaders that ultimately provided the pretext for the British to move in and “protect” the Suez Canal followed by a formal invasion and occupation that now made Egypt a colony.”

“The Agent provocateur revolt against Ismail was an organized movement by Jamal ul din al Afghani, the founder of the Salafi Movement. Afghani was the person through which the British mission acted to, not only to subvert Egyptian rule, but to spread it’s occult influence throughout the middle east” (ref, David Livingston)

“After Afghani’s departure from Egypt, his pupil Muhammed Abduh, was inexplicably named the chief editor of the official British-controlled publication of the Egyptian government, the Journal Officiel. Working under him was fellow-Freemason, Saad Zaghul, later to be founder of the Wafd nationalist party. In 1883, Abduh joined Afghani in Paris, among the members of Afghani’s circle in Paris were Egyptians, Indians, Turks, Syrians, North Africans, as well as many Christians and Jews, and Persian Bahais expelled from the Middle East.”

He then went to London, where he lectured at Oxford and Cambridge, and consulted with British officials about the crisis in Egypt and Sudan both countries eventually becoming British colonies. In Sudan a rebellion against the Turco-Egyptian government arose there led by an occultist named Muhammad Ahmad, claiming to be Imam Mahdi himself, he forced his followers to either accept him or die and was heavily influenced by the salafi movement that Afghani started.

This seems to have been a very common practice for the Colonial Empires at the time, starting other similar groups within Islamic lands to entangle a countries strength and resources, such as the Ahmadiyya of Pakistan whose leader claimed to be Jesus and the Bahai of Iran all having various degrees of success.

“When the French suppressed their paper Al-Murwah al-Wuthkah, Abduh traveled for several years throughout the Arab world particularly to Tunis, Beirut, and Syria. In each city he would recruit members into the secret fundamentalist society of Afghani. Abduh was known for his reformist views about Islam and like the Shia Ismailis before him who founded the Hashashin (Assassins) that employed drugs (and the occult) to indoctrinate their followers, he would advance his students progressively into deeper levels of heresy. From 1888 until his death in 1905 Abduh regularly visited the home and office of Lord Cromer in Egypt” the person behind the “investigation” into Ismail which created the opportunity in Egypt for Britain.

“In 1899, Lord Cromer made Abduh the Grand Mufti of Egypt He was now the chief legal authority in Islam as well as the Masonic Grand Master of the United Lodge of Egypt. Lord Cromer was an important member of England’s Baring banking family, that had grown rich off of the opium trade in India and China through the East India Trading Company, which other public Islamic figures in the Indian sub continent worked for. His motive in making Abduh the most powerful figure in all of Islam was to change the law forbidding interest banking. Abduh then offered a contrived interpretation of the Koran to create the requisite loophole, giving British banks free reign in Egypt.”

Regarding Abduh, Lord Cromer related, “I suspect my friend Abduh was in reality an agnostic,” and he said of Abduh’s Salafi reform movement that, “They are the natural allies of the European reformer.” (The Muslim Brotherhood: The Globalist Secret Weapon).

“The Salafi movement then became allied with the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia through another Freemason, Mohammed Rashid Rida, who after the death of Afghani in 1897, and Abduh in 1905, assumed the leadership of the Salafi’s. Rida had become a member of the “Indissoluble Bond” (or Link), Afghani’s group at a young age. He was promoted through Afghani’s Masonic society through his reading of Al-Urwah al Wuthkah which he later confessed was the greatest influence in his life. Rida had never met Afghani, but in 1897 he had gone to Egypt to study with Mohammed Abduh.”

Once Rashid Rida himself died the Salafi movement was now left in the hands of their students. Hasan al Banna and Sayyed Qutb followed the same tracks as Rashid Rida, both have been connected to Masonry, Al Banna founding the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928. Rashid Rida’s Magazine Al Manar was one of the main influences in al Banna’s life, and it would seem more than fate that the arabic word for Mason is al Banna or “Builder”.

Hasan the Mason’s father was a student of Abduh and himself greatly influenced by Rashid Rida at the age of 21 Banna was introduced to the leadership of al Manar and beginning in the early 1920’s would often meet and discuss it with Rida, through Rida Hasan al Banna developed his version of “pure Islam” that Salafi’s are today famously known for.

When Hitler came to power in the 1930’s he made contact with al Banna to see if they could work together. Al Banna was supportive of Hitler, his letters to Hitler were so supportive that He and other members of the Muslim brotherhood were recruited by Nazi Military intelligence, Banna himself said that he had “considerable admiration for the Nazi brownshirts” and organized his own forces along Nazi fascist lines, to this day their leaders shout down from the mimbar (pulpit) at the congregation in the same vein as Hitler.

He also collaborated with the fascist “Young Egypt” movement, named after the Young Turks movement that replaced the Ottoman Khalifah and was inspired by Afghani, they were founded in 1933 and modeled directly on the Nazi Party who were also influenced by Afghani’s teachings. Among it’s members it counted two later presidents, Gamal Nasser and Anwar Sadat, they would later have a very open and public falling out.

“The two methodological strains, that of al Banna, uniting everyone into a single mass irrespective of creed, and Sayyid Qutb’s destructive revolutions against authorities in the name of social justice, are taken from ideas and methods implemented by Freemasons in the 19^th century to topple the monarchies and governments of Christian Europe.”

Al Banna’s “golden principle” is in reality just a rendition of a Masonic slogan, ‘Of brotherhood, Oneness and Unity’ irrespective of creed. The Muslim brotherhoods books along with their offshoots are filled with Machiavellian, Masonic methods and slogans islamically rebranded and used against muslims, many Salafi’s around the world today blindly repeating them in a new context.

Their mainstream figures will even promote the idea that Islam is peace, Islam is not peace Islam means justice because it was sent to right the wrongs in the world, Allahu Haq, Allah literally is justice, this is what Isalm asks of every muslims and what they will be held accountable for not upholding. Islam comes from the word salam which means peace, this is because practicing the Islamic type of worship creates inner peace in an individual until it radiates from his face, so much so that famous medieval european realist paintings depicted this very fact until people complained that it was drawing christians to islamic lands.

When they say Islam is peace they are deliberately teaching pacifism, and everything they say in their definitions and explanations of Islam will only lead a person to pacifism, this is fattening an animal for slaughter, because people are trapped in a psychology that makes it difficult to stand up for yourself or recognize when you are being attacked, these are the paths they put people on to take advantage of them.

The prophet (saws) literally said people won’t be able to recognize them, and they will have a hard time seeing them for what they are; Ali (ra) said, “O people! Indeed, I heard Allah’s Messenger say, ‘There shall be a folk that comes from my Umma and they will recite the Quran—your recitation will not be comparable to theirs, or your prayers or your fasting to theirs. They will recite the Quran and believe it supports them but

The King of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar had a Dream which no one can interpret, finally the prophet Daniel (saws) is brought to him and interprets the dream for him.

The prophet Daniel (as) said, 31 “Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.

36 “This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. 37 Your Majesty, you are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; 38 in your hands he has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds in the sky. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold (the first Empire Babylon).

39 “After you, another kingdom will arise (All the empires are successive, coming one after the other), inferior to yours (next after Babylon is the Persian Empire). Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth (This is the Geek Macedonian Empire of Alexander the Great who conquered Persia, eventually the Persians re-established their empire after him for another 800 years). 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom (The Islamic Empire, established at the hands of the companions of the prophet (saws) who conquered Persia), strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others (It conquered both Persia and Rome at the same time). 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom (The Islamic Empire over history was made up of multiple Khalifah’s stretching from North Africa to China, each ruled by the people of that region); yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle (The Empires warred with each other and supported each other against invaders). 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture (African Muslim’s set up the African Khalifah’s, Arab Muslims set up the Arab Kbaifahs, Indian muslims set up the Indian Khalifahs, European Muslims set up the European Khalifah (Mamluks), and Turkish Muslims set up the turkish Khalifah) and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed (Under Islam all Muslims view themselves as one single Ummah or nation which is how the prophet described them even though they are made up of different Empires and races), nor will it be left to another people (this is something Allah granted the prophet Muhammad in answer to a prayer of his with these exact words of the prophet Daniel, the Islamic Empire was not defeated by a foreign power conquering it, it was defeated by muslims from within it, as was the custom of the British they defeated the last Islamic Empire by making false promises to various ethnic groups, who revolted all at the same time in different parts of Islamic lands, they then betrayed nearly every promise to them). It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end (Persia and Rome), but it will itself endure forever (anything that lasts more than 1000 years can have this term applied to it, otherwise no kingdom not even the one christians think Jesus will set up forever will literally last for ever, hence it is a figure of speech common in the ancient tongue). 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain (Which spread around the world as did Islam and the Islamic Empires), but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces (The Islamic Dynasties (the rock) established themselves on the back of the first Islamic Empire which the companions of the Prophet (saws) established, this is how the rock smashed all the older Empires and was also part of the iron and clay Empire). “The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

The Dream is first and foremost about the Empires that will take over from the King of Babylon, in those same lands, which are present day Iran and Iraq and the surrounding regions, this makes identifying the Empires easy since the Empires are all successive one after the other and in the same land; The Head of the statue is the Babylonian Empire, the Chest is Persia, the Thighs of Brass is Greece, Alexander the great conquered Persia, and the legs of Iron is the initial Islamic Empire established by the companions of the prophet (saws) because the legs are described by the nature of the feet and Daniel doesn’t differentiate between them, the rock is the later Islamic dynasties that took over from the first Islamic Empire.

The Islamic Empire conquered the Persian and Roman Empires ending both, some christian commentators claim the iron legs are Rome but Rome did not succeed Persia they existed along side it and almost alongside the Babylonian Empire (509BC) just before them, we have also seen in a number of other prophecies that the Arabs and islamic Dynasties are almost always described with iron in the bible. Babylon was founded in 1894BC, the Persian Empire conquered Babylon in 550BC, Alexander the Great conquered Persia in 330BC, after his death his empire was partitioned among his generals and the Seleucid Empire was established, it was taken over by the Persian Parthian Empire and the Persians remained in control, through successive Persian dynasties, until conquest by Islam in 651 AD, nearly 900 years later, Rome never took Persians lands.

Finally the words of Daniel are exactly the words of the prophet muhammad (saws) in a dua, for his Ummah, He prayed to Allah that his ummah won’t be uprooted by an external enemy.

Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake. And I have seen its eastern and western ends. And the dominion of my Ummah would reach those ends which have been drawn near me (as the dream of Daniel said) and I have been granted the red and the white treasure (both Persia and Rome) and I asked my Lord for my Ummah that it should not be destroyed because of famine, nor be dominated by an enemy who is not amongst them to take their lives and destroy them root and branch (defeat them from their core and heart of power, Makkah and Madina), and my Lord said: Muhammad, whenever I make a decision, there is none to change it. I grant you for your Ummah that it would not be destroyed by famine and it would not be dominated by an enemy who would not be amongst it and would take their lives and destroy them root and branch even if all the people from the different parts of the world join hands together (for this purpose), but it would be from amongst them that some people would kill the others or imprison the others”. (Muslim)

It should be noted that when ever christian’s interpret their own text, no mention is ever made of the Islamic Empire that dominated the world after Jesus (as) until the 19th century, as if Allah did not notice their existence, there is literally a collective blindness in christian texts which is both funny to witness and frustrating at how an answer can be both in front of you and not visible. For example if a prophecy mentions the lands east of Europe, so often the case regarding wars at the end of time, mention of Asia is made, automatically skipping the entire Arabian peninsula in favor of Buddhist China and Hindu India, what is directly east of Europe is not China!

Other similar assertions exist in their history books as well, when mention is made of Islamic conquest into Europe they literally boast that ‘muslim’s only reached as far as France then they were pushed back’, implying in no way could they reach actual Europe, the assertion was made by a famous historian which is why it is blindly repeated today, the only thing North of France is the Ocean there is no more of Europe left, no doubt access to maps were limited a few hundred years ago, not so today, yet the blindness still remains.

The prophet Daniel (saws) had a dream of four Beasts (Daniel 7), He saw four beast representing empires that would rise up one after the other, these would be the last empires on earth before the return of Isa (as).

Christian commentators believe from the last beast in this dream America, that Europe will briefly come to power, it is clear from the dream itself who the last empire is the description given to these nations are exactly like the description given in the book of revelations.

Other christian commentators say this dream is just the prophet (saws) seeing the dream of king Nebuchadnezzar for himself the dream the prophet Daniel (saws) famously interpreted for the King, mentioned earlier in chapter 2, but Allah does not do such things He sent that dream to the king so Daniel could interpret it and be established in life, this dream Allah used it to raise the prophet in status among men becouse the king rewarded Daniel (as) greatly for interpreting it with a high position, and it was a significant chapter in the prophets (saws) life He was famously known for, we will see from the next chapter the kings dream is talking about other empires then those seen in the dream of Daniel.

The Prophet Daniel (saws) said in chapter 7: In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying in bed. He wrote down the substance of his dream. 2 Daniel said: “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea. 3 Four great beasts (Empires), each different from the other (Each was Unique), came up out of the sea. 4 “The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human being, and the mind of a human was given to it, (the Roman Republic here is turned into an Empire when Julius Caesar declares himself the first Emperor, the Republic is given the mind of a human, now lead by an emperor and turned into an Empire). 5 “And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’

This is the Ottoman Empire, this isn’t as clear to understand because you have to know the qualities of the Empire to recognise it, but in history it succeeded the Roman Empire ending it. The description that it had three ribs between it’s teeth indicates it ate them from other empires (beasts) as it raised itself, or as it came to power. The Ottoman Empire unnecessarily warred against other Islamic Empires and ended them and taking their lands, these Empires are what the ribs stand for. It was told to both Get up, come to power, and Eat it’s fill of flesh, meaning expand greatly. It did exactly that because it not only ended other Islamic Empires it ended the Romans, which was the last of that Empire, and warred against Europe who was terrified of their size and might for hundreds of years. The Ottomans were one of the largest Empires in Human history, they also had only of the longest lasting single family Dynasties on Earth. It was an expansionist Empire and their lust for expansion inspired a number of  movies like the recent Dracula, who story is based of Vlad the impaler who fought them, his brother accepted Islam and a high post in the Ottoman Army, a custom among the people of that region, Vlad used savagery to scare the giant Ottoman Army impaling any He fought until He was given that title.

Daniel continued, 6 “After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard (this is the same description given to the British Empire in the book of revelations, they came next because they defeated the Ottomans and took their lands). And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird (It had wings because it emulated the Romans who also had wings but they didn’t fly high like the Roman republic their wings where only like a bird not an eagle). This beast had four heads (no crowns or horns on the heads, meaning it had help from other Empires that it did not rule over, other verses in the bible usually place horns and crowns on each head, indicating the Beast ruled over multiple lands, here the beast only has four heads), and it was given authority to rule (by the Dragon mentioned in the book of revelations).

In this dream the British leopard is shown to emulate past nations in coming to power, so the beasts on it’s head with no crowns means they didn’t rule them, which more than likely is because they had allies in conquering the larger Ottoman Empire. They had the help of Europe and Russia ganging up on the larger Ottoman army before WW1 chipping away at it for hundreds of years until it’s final defeat, then they established themselves as the dominant nation among their Allies.

Daniel continues 7 “After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful (America). It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left (this last phrase is unique, describing the beast as completely viscous, it means America did not leave anything after defeating an enemy, it destroyed the people by destroying their culture and identity completely. America was called “The Civilization of Destruction” by the prophet Muhammad (saws) for this exact reason it utterly destroyed people and culture). It was different from all the former beasts (not only did American technology set it apart but the world that it arose in was different from all other times in history), and it had ten horns (Allies it controlled and dominated but did no rule, because there are no crowns). 8 “While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them (the European Union is formed from America’s allies and rises to power to defeat America); and three of the first horns were uprooted before it (this means Europe will uproot three allies of America when it rises to power, possibly England, Australia and Israel or Canada). This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully (this is similar to the Roman Republic being given the mind of a human, when Europe rises to power at that time it will have a single leader at it’s head).

9 “As I looked, “thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat (a reference to Allah sitting to Judge). His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze. (Allah sets up his court to judge Europe, just like Allah set it up and destroyed America by plunging it into Darkness, the vision is a metaphor for what Allah will do it isn’t literal the throne of Allah doesn’t have wheels these stand for something, because a wheel is the mechanism that makes the cart move this means the universe (karma in short) will move against the European empire).

10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened. 11 “Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn (Europe) was speaking. I kept looking until the beast (America) was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire (Europe kept boasting until America was destroyed).

12 “(The other beasts (older empires) had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time)” (the bible has this sentence in brackets). (Even though the older empires now have no power their people remained serving America and then Europe).

13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,(Jesus, the passage refers to his second coming and seperate from what Allah is doing) coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days (Allah) and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him (this means praised him in the old world). His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed (the Kingdom of Jesus will be the last on earth before the end it won’t be overcome it will disappear after his death, this is what the dream means).

15 “I, Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the visions that passed through my mind disturbed me. 16 I approached one of those standing there and asked him the meaning of all this. “So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: 17 ‘The four great beasts are four kings that will rise from the earth. 18 But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever.’ (the Kingdom of Allah will be the last standing before the hour, this alone tells us these are the last empires the world will see and this dream can never be the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar because He saw the empires of his region only).

19 “Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, which was different (in every way) from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws—the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left (leaving nothing of their former identity, or culture forcing it’s own image on them). 20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, (at the end of time, our time, there will be a campaign to end all religious people and morality itself not just by America but Europe as well which this verse states. Eventually Europe will place sanctions on Syria after this civil war then it will invade Egypt, North Africa and eventually Syria trying to conquer the middle east, this around the same time the first Sufyani warlord will emerge in Syria who as the prophet (saws) said will be supported by Europe. These are the wars and these are the traditional lands of all the prophets this verse refers to) 22 until the Ancient of Days (Allah) came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High (because of the war they waged against the people of Allah and religion itself), and the time came when they possessed the kingdom (with Jesus).

23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it (This is now American history). 24 The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom (the beast will empower new rulers on earth). After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones (the European Union); he will subdue three kings.

25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people (just like America) and try to change the set times and the laws (annihilating any laws based on religion and morality, today we see this in Europe already with France banning all religious symbols and the headscarf forcing women to loose their modesty). The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time (3.5 years). 26 “‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.

27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom (Allah) will be an everlasting kingdom (everlasting can also mean unchallenged, because the Universe itself will end soon after), and all rulers will worship and obey him.’ (Allah will restore religion again and it won’t ever be challenged) 28 “This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself.”

This is a more complete account of the destruction of America mentioned in Chapter 19 of the book of revelations.

John (as) said, “After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, 2 for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries (society essentially).

He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.” 3 And again they shouted: “Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever” (she will never return). 4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped Allah, who was seated on the throne (established on the throne is more accurate, the translators probably lacked the knowledge we have regarding this matter and chose to word it physically because that is how it sounded, they were all looking at the Arsh of Allah, which is translated as Throne, in the same way Allah is going to punish the throne of America but it isn’t a seat, this is something that in size is greater than the seven heavens combined). And they cried: “Amen, Hallelujah!” 5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both great and small!” 6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding (return to earth) of the Lamb (Jesus) has come, and his bride (the earth) has made herself ready. 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people, so the earth was dressed in acts of righteousness for people to perform during the time of Isa (as).)

9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” (who will be alive during His return) And he added, “These are the true words of God.” 10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him (John was in Awe of what it meant for mankind on earth, the Angel just informed him that Allah was once again going to turn mankind back to Him after all this suffering, corruption and death America committed against them). But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus (the muslims, here is another reference to Islam by this description first given to the descendants of Hagar and her son). Worship Allah! For it is the Spirit of prophecy (those on the path of the prophets) who bears testimony to Jesus.” (Christians are not on the path of prophets they barely acknowledge them deifying Jesus and focusing on that).

This is the first time we see the Lamb, Jesus, mentioned and after Him another figure the Man riding the white horse, christians claimed this was the same person but it is clear from the passage two people are meant.

11 “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True (the Mahdi, his name means the one who is guided and the One who guides). With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns (he will rule many nations). He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself (the prophet (saws) gave Him the unique name the Mahdi). 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God (the word Mahdi comes from Allah’s name al Hadi, the one who guides. The Jews have a prophecy they are waiting for the prophet Elijah (as) to be sent by Allah before Jesus (as) returns, the name Elijah means the one who testifies to Allah, which is the first part of the Islamic testimony of faith,”There is no God but Allah”, in other words Allah said He will send to mankind One who testifies to his name before Jesus returns). 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” (This is the exact type of rule given to the descendants of the prophet Ishmael earlier in the book of revelations) He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of Allah Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords.” (He acts on Allah’s Authority because he is the Vicegerent of Allah on earth, this is what it means to have these names written on you. The Messenger of Allah said: “A group of my Ummah will fight for the truth until (we) near the day of judgment when Jesus, the son of Marry, will descend, and the leader of them (the Mahdi) will ask him to lead the prayer, but Jesus will decline saying: “No, Verily, among you Allah has made leaders for others and He has bestowed his bounty upon them.” In another hadith “You have more right to it, and verily Allah has honored some of you over others in this Ummah.” Imamat, leadership isn’t switched midpoint Jesus saw the wisdom of not switching and advised the Mahdi telling Him Allah honoured Him with this situation).

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of Allah, (The war of Allah on the corrupt) 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small. (So these people can be stripped of what they have, this is a metaphor)”

19 Then I saw the beast (Europe who took over after America fell) and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army (This is the war between the Muslims and Europe at the end of time, Armageddon). 20 But the beast (Europe) was captured, and with it the false prophet (it’s leader who like America before him was preaching a new way of life, the capitalist system they followed, in religious terminology this is a new religion so there leader is called a false prophet) who had performed the signs on its behalf (another reference to the occult practice of Europe is made here). With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image (Europe will emulate America forcing it’s system on the world). The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh. (The leaders were punished by Allah while Europe’s people were all defeated by the Mahdi (ra) in the Great Battle, Armageddon).

Some christian commentators say the rider was Jesus (as), but the passage clearly introduces a new person and gives him new names describing his qualities that we should know him by, Jesus was already present if he was seated on the throne as they also claim. It will be the Mahdi (ra) who will fight Europe not Jesus (as), Jesus will return once this is accomplished to fight the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) who isn’t mentioned in this passage and will come after the Great War, He will defeat the Mahdi (ra) and call all people on earth to his image (system) using capitalism to strangle the world into submitting.

The next chapter, Chapter 20 of the book shows clear signs of tampering, it states Allah will send an Angel to imprison Iblis in an Abyss for 1000 years, after which he will be let loose to turn Yajuj Wa Majuj (Gog and Magog) against Isa (as) who was meant to be alive during this time and had set up his kingdom on earth, so I have not included the remainder of the book here, it’s more than likely that the passage was changed from 40 years to 1000 years.

It is clear from the narration’s that Gog and Magog will attack Jesus (as) immediately after he defeats the Antichrist not 1000 years later. Allah will kill them and the devils of the earth, Iblis (allah’s curse be upon him) will be imprisoned while Isa (as) rules the earth for 40 years He (saws) will marry have children and die, then Iblis (Allah’s curse be upon him) will again be freed corrupting the people of the earth again, the Hour will only come upon the worst of people.

The book of revelations then mentions the heavens and the earth will disappear and the day of judgment will occur in front of Allah’s throne, the heavens and the earth will be replaced with another heaven and earth, the passage seems to have been deleted in some places because the account is incomplete like it skips to the end after some major events on earth, the translation shows this clearly.

The Bible can best be described as a book without a greater context, you can’t pick it up and simply gain the context of what it is referring to from it’s pages, people over the years have rather been filling in the context from their own knowledge base. You need to have information regarding a wide array of topics, not just history but language, culture, theology and science, this is why so many varied interpretations exist, each person interprets it according to his own background rather than the background of the book itself, the prophet Jesus (as) is not a discontinuation of the Abrahamic religion.

Allah made laws throughout history regarding what He himself created in the Universe, science has opened the door for us to understand that same Universe, this is why anything that isn’t consistent with what Allah original intended is false because the Universe and what is harmful in it for mankind hasn’t changed, what people make up from themselves is a delusion of man like any novelist would pen a novel especially if they have no experience with the original culture these people came from.

Even though the Book of Revelations are the visions Allah sent to the companion of Isa (as) John (ra), it still suffers from the same tampering’s the rest of the bible suffered from. When earlier christians commissioned that copies of the bible be made and translated into various languages they commissioned Roman translators to do this work, at the time they were considered enemies of the state, needless to say this was one source for some foul insertions and alterations that are little more than graffiti and hate speech against Allah’s prophets by Romans who were largely Pagan. Another source of corruption in the text was done by so called “christians” of the time, who altered it for profit and money, this could have been at the behest of Christians in political office or Roman officials newly converted wanting to influence a people who lived among them by doing what Rome had done at the change of nearly every Emperor, they brought into it’s pantheon of gods, the god each new emperor believed in.

The book of revelations is no exception to this, it’s corruption is something which has been scientifically established through textual analysis, with out getting into the science of the matter even though the majority of the text is intact it is clear verses have been inserted into it, this is like reading a book written by an Englishman in his native accent, then suddenly the language would switch to english being spoken with a Japanese accent, making it clear more than one person had a hand in writing it. Sometimes the “accent” would change multiple times indicating multiple insertions and at times it would switch from “middle english” or Shakespearean English to a more modern version of the language, from this we know what time periods the insertions where made.

In this vein are the greek formulas of logic that God supposedly claimed He is the alpha (first) and the omega (last), and in the next sentence claims the exact thing again by saying He is the first and the last as if the author did not know what Alpha and Omega stood for. This phrasing itself is pagan in origin found clearly in their texts and not from the vocabulary or logic of people who spoke Aramaic.

The Story of Hagar (ra)

The interpretation of the later chapters of the book of revelations are straight forward without much deduction once we identify who the passages are referring to from simple history, the passage regarding the wife of Ibrahim (as) Hagar in places was not, so here is a more complete picture.

In Chapter 12 John (ra) says, “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon (in the old world a giant snake was called a dragon) stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to Allah and to his throne (this means the child was granted prophethood). 6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by Allah, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days (about 3.5 years). Then war broke out in Heaven (it’s more accurate to say the Angels punished the Dragon by warring against him, because currently it presumes equality in strength between Angels and Jinn). Michael and his Angels against the Dragon, and the Dragon and His Angels (Jinn) fought back (it is clear here that to much emphasis is placed on the abilities of Iblis a Jinn in translation, because they don’t know the nature His creation). But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven…

(The original verse is clear but the translators lacked knowledge to discern why the Jinn are weaker, they likewise didn’t know the nature of Angels creation. What the verse is saying is that Allah stopped him from visiting Heaven at all, which allowed him to see future events, keeping in mind the devil was forbidden to live there in the time of Adam and in the time of the prophet muhammad (saws) Jinn were no longer allowed to even listen to the conversations of Angels to get news for their soothsayers).

…The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his Angels with him (because the nature of the Angels and Jinn, are relatively similar, light and fire are made from similar quantum particles, any Jinn who had the ability to enter Heaven was given the honorific title of Angel because he had to take on there Angelic qualities to enter it, but unlike the Angels he still had freewill to chose what to do in life). Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, (the Humans), who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.”

They Triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony (a later insertion commenting on what was misconstrued from the Angels words, Jesus was not born during the of Ibrahim when he was cast down); they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. (here it switches from commentary back to the Angel), Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the women who had given birth to the male child. The women was given two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness (A reference to Ibrahim who took her there), where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time (3.5 years, 1 year being a “time”) out of the serpent’s reach. Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the women and sweep her away with the torrent. But the earth helped the women by opening it’s mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. Then the dragon was enraged at the women and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring-those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus (the muslims who hold fast regarding what occurred to Jesus).

This story is about the wife of Ibrahim and mother of Ishmael, Hagar, Ibrahim was instructed by Allah to take them to Makkah and leave them there to be looked after by Allah, the place was a desolate desert with no water at the time, this is the story of how the first people came to live there.

The passage is also a reference to the Islamic Empire that would come from Ishmael and rule all nations, as the verse states. Some christian commentators give a completely unrealistic interpretation that is unattached from physical reality and state the women was the Church and the child was Jesus, no doubt because of the passage stating He would rule all nations, but the Church did not give birth to Jesus, rather he supposedly gave birth to it and christians and the church did not come to rule the earth throughout most of their history, they followed the lead of the Islamic Empire through out history until modern secular rule after WW1, relegated the church irrelevant in our times, largely due to their denouncement of science itself which set them back in comparison to other parts of the world.

“Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent.” Here the story skips events, it was Jibril who created the river of Zam Zam so they could survive in the desert this was part of Allah’s promise to look after them in an isolated place, Iblis wanted to drown her in it but had Hagar not gathered the water with dirt the prophet (saws) said it would have flowed and become a river, so the words “Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river” is symbolic of what Iblis wanted to do with Zam Zam, he wanted it to flow out of control hoping he would drown them with it, he attempted this by trying to stop Hagar (as) from encircling the flow of water with dirt making it become a well.

“But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.” This is how the water became a well rather than a river, swallowed means it was contained and it became an underground reservoir, it hasn’t stopped flowing for 1400 years supplying water to Makkah.

“Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.” Her offspring are the Arab muslims who believe in Jesus (as) and his second coming, along with the purity of his mother Mary (as) and his miraculous birth, we see here the book of revelations in  number of places referring to the muslims as “those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus”.

The Story Of Hagar (ra) In Islam

Hagar (ra) was the wife of the Prophet Abraham and the mother of the Prophet Ishmael (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them). When Ishmael was a bay, the prophet Abraham was commanded by Allah to take his wife and son to Makkah and leave them there so that when he grew up, he would spread the Word of Allah in that part of the world. As Allah instructed, Abraham took his wife Hagar with his baby and left them in Makkah with a water skin of water and some dates. Hagar followed him and said, ‘O Abraham! Where are you going leaving us in this bare and lifeless valley?’ She said this a number of times but he did not say anything. Then she said, ‘Has Allah commanded you to do so?’ In reply, he simply said, ‘Yes!’ Then she said that if that was the case, Allah would not destroy them and went back to her baby. When Ibrahim (as.) went behind the side of a mountain where he could not see his wife and son, he turned towards that place (the Ka’bah) where it was to be built later and prayed to Allah with these words,

“O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley without cultivation by Thy Sacred House: In order, O our Lord, that they may establish regular prayers. So fill the hearts of some among men with love towards them (so they help them) and feed them with fruits, so that they may give thanks.” (Qur’an 14:37)

Hagar suckled her child and drank water for some days until the water skin was empty, then she and her baby suffered thirst. She saw her child crying from thirst and could not help him. So she left him there and went towards the valley to look for help and water but could not find anyone. Hagar traveled between the mountains of Safa and Marwa, sometimes running, especially in the low ground where she could not see her son, and sometimes walking, seven times she walked and ran from mountain to mountain looking for help, this is why we perform this act during Hajj, but still she could not find anyone. When she had done this for the seventh time and going up the mount Marwa, she heard a voice, she said to herself, ‘be quiet’ and listened carefully. She heard a voice again and said, “O, man! You have made your voice heard to me. Have you got something to help us?” (this was Gabriel who Allah sent) Suddenly, she returned to her baby and to her amazement, she saw water emerging beneath the foot of her baby, Gabriel dug the ground with his wing so that Zam Zam would flow.

Thus, Hagar began to drink water and suckle her baby. The angel said to her, “Don’t fear death. This is Allah’s house which will be built by this child and his father (Ibrahim when He returns). And God will not destroy the people of this House.”
