Allah Will Devastate America

When will America collapse, who will do it and how will it be done?

The Prophet (saws) said, “At the end of time there will be a trial in which people will be sorted (fitnatul Duhaima, September the 11th) in a similar way to that in which gold is sorted from metal (the pure will be known from the filth because the filth was disguising itself before hand. They made themselves known with this attack). Therefore do not rebuke the people of Syria (because of the conflicts surrounding it after 2001) rather, rebuke the evil people among them (Assad and his tribe), because amongst them are the Abdals (substitute saints, when one of them dies Allah replaces him with another person). Allah will send a flood from Heaven (an event, the Arab spring that ended most muslim dictators and ended in Syria) that will disperse their groups (cause a civil war) in a way that if foxes were to attack them (ISIS, kufar occultists disguised as Muslims) they would (opportunistically) be victorious. Then Allah will send a man (to the people of Syria) from the perfumed musked children of the Messenger, praise and peace be upon him, amongst approximately 12-15,000 under three banners (battalions) and their password is ‘Die, die!’ (they will fight to the death and won’t accept anyone to join them unless he is the same) And they will be fought by the people of 7 banners (seven different leaders from around the world each with designs Syria) under each (flag) is a man (leader) seeking the kingdom (for himself). They will be killed, defeated, then the Hashimite (leader of the black flags, the Mahdi’s army) will appear (in Afghanistan), so Allah will restore unity and favours to the people and this will be the case (for many years) until the Dajjaal (the lying, false messiah) comes.”

It may seem the hadith is saying when the Hashimi appears this will cause unity to spread around the Muslim world but rather the hadith is pointing to a point in time when this will occur. If we look at Afghanistan today and a leader suddenly takes control of it, until history shows who he is years later his simple appearance on the scene won’t do anything for the Muslim world, most ahadith actually say people won’t be certain of the Mahdi’s Army until the Imam himself appears and because of this people will fight them.

So what is the one thing that will cause an entire ummah so fractured to once again be united?

The hadith says Allah is the one who will unite them, and also in the Hadith Allah says the Arab spring was an event He sent from Heaven that ended the era of dictators.

So the event that will unite a global ummah will likewise have to be global like the Arab spring, affecting the entire world and not a small region in it like a single leader appearing.

We know from Ahadith and history that America placed sanctions on Iraq, being the dominant power in the world, but ahadith state that it will be Europe that will place sanctions on Syria after this civil war and then eventually Egypt, meaning the will seek to dominate the Islamic world.

So why will Europe take the lead from America?

Ahadith also state that Armageddon or WW3 will be fought against Europe and America is missing from the scene at this point never to be heard from again in any hadith because after Europe leads the Mahdi appears, then the Dajjal, then Isa (as) then Yajuj wa Majuj, America has nothing to do with these major events according to any religion.

The Bible also affirms this fact so where did they go?

The prophecies Allah gave to the prophets before Islam primarily had to do with the world empires that would rise and fall one after the other until the day of judgment, and all these empires are listed in a chronological order so you can follow these empires and identify them very easily.

The last empire mentioned in the prophecies of the Bible is an empire that will set up a global economic power that will strangle the world through trade destroying all the cultures of the world leaving nothing of their identities, which is a pretty identifiable event because this can only occur once.

We are living that reality now.

The Bible says about America’s war on religion: “Your merchants were the world’s important people. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray (only one nation achieved this). In her (America) was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy (saintly) people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.” (The Book Of Revelations)

Like every empire it mentions, the Bible amazingly also outlines the fate of America and that is to be economically destroyed by Europe in a surprise attack that will shock the world, considering the last economic collapse most would say the writing is already on the wall. America will persist for another decade or so in civil war then Allah will completely annihilate them.

So when is this set to occur?

We know for certain between now and the time Imam Mahdi appears Europe will want to assert it’s dominance over Islamic lands.

The Mahdi’s army appears some six years before Him their leader the Hashimi will take control of Afghanistan after the Syrian war, so sometime after the civil war the Hashimi will gather the people of Afghanistan into an Army when this happens the Mahdi will appear six years later.

Europe after the Hashimi appears will dominate Syria and set up a series of warlords they will send to fight the army, who the prophet (saws) called the sufyani’s after their lineage, there will be more than one of them from the same tribe and this is the bani kalb, Assads tribe which will lose this civil war, through the warlords and the backing of Europe they will want to take control of Syria again.

The bible says when Europe takes over they will do the exact same things as America before them, so from placing sanctions on Syria to setting up dictators to rule on their behalf to dominating Islamic lands, all things America is known for today, Ahadith seem to be clear when Europe will begin to emulate America indicating when they will first assert their will on a world stage.

The bible also says they will have three years to speak arrogantly like the British empire once did, asserting their dominance over everyone else, which gives us a realistic time frame of when they will economically collapse America.

The hadith about Syria says Allah will restore unity to the Ummah after the war ends and the only thing that can achieve that, is that their main enemy which caused all the divisions of the world to begin with, now no longer exists.

So after the war in Syria ends Allah will place it in the hearts of Europe to attack America, which He states in these terms in the Bible.

Considering Europe will have three years to assert it’s dominance over the world after it attacks America, and the only thing to stop them will be Imam Mahdi himself who will take control of All Arab lands from them, his army appearing 6 years before him, it is a fair estimate to say Europe will Attack America about 1 to 3 years after the Syrian civil war ends and because of it Allah will restore unity to the Muslim ummah.

It is the only global event that can do that.

What Are Other Indicators Of America’s Collapse?

In ahadith the Prophet (saws) said the fitnah of September the 11th will last for 12 years, and it did, he also (saws) said its effects around the world will last for 18 years. Which is 2019, so around this year the influence America is asserting around the world because of sep 11th will stop, telling us their influence around the world will decrease for some reason. He then said the Euphrates river will uncover a mountain of gold after this event in 2019 over which the Arab nations will fight. It will be after this event that destabilises the entire middle east region that the Mahdi’s army will march on Jerusalem conquering every Arab country. Such an event is not likely to occur if America is still around protecting Israel, so, these are the timeframes of ahadith and they are clear.

The Bible even prophecies this saying the river Euphrates will dry up so that event will prepare the way for the kings of the east, east of it is Afghanistan and the river drying will cause war between the Arab countries so that event which weakens the Arabs is so the Mahdi’s army can take control and prepare the Muslim world for Him. “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”

The Prophet (saws) said, “the Hour will not come until Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) rules the Arabs” (Tirmidhi, Fitan: 43).

“Some people will appear from the East (His army) and prepare the way for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be the ruler among them. (Ibn Majah, Kitabul Fitan: 35 (4088)

Allah Will Destroy America With A Comet

In the bible Allah says after Europe decimate’s America economically it will persist for a few more years as a ghost of its former self, lost in civil war, it will become a haunt for Devils. Then Allah will command an Angel to hurl a Large asteroid at it annihilating it completely, it will hit just off the coast causing large destruction to it and every island on earth.

One of Allah’s Angels will say;

“20 “Rejoice over her (America’s destruction by Europe), you heavens! Rejoice, you people of God! Rejoice, apostles and prophets! For Allah has judged (America) with the judgment she imposed on you.” (Allah judged America as America Judged the people of Allah).

21 Then (some years after this as other verses clarify) a mighty angel picked up a boulder like a large (Great) millstone and threw it into the sea (this is the giant Asteroid that will hit the earth, after which we will witness great natural disasters around the world, beginning with a huge earthquake, the second of the three great earthquakes towards the end of time, it will split Damascus in three.) and said: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again” (Allah calls America the Greater Babylon in the book of revelations, and the great prostitute (of the world) because all the leaders of the world made secret deals with her, like the deals people make with prostitutes).

The Asteroid will hit in the ocean off the coast of America and its intention is to decimate it completely, in another vision of John we are told islands will disappear (giant tidal waves), so places like Hawaii, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines all such places should prepare for this disaster, and the mountains won’t be seen, the Quran in Surah al-Dukhan (the smoke) talks about a smoke towards the end of time that will cover the earth for 40 days.

22 The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No worker of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.

23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world’s important people. By your (dark) magic spell all the nations were led astray. (reference is made to America’s occult practices in business, politics and everything else, the verse is saying America used it to dominate the world.)

24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.” (Book of Revelations).

These are the first-hand prophecies for future generations of Christians and Muslims that John (ra) was given, while in ahadith the Prophet (saws) said just before Imam Mahdi (ra) appears, and the timing of both events coincide exactly as we outlined earlier, that a loud explosion, sound, sayah will be heard around the world.

The Astroid hitting the earth is the sound of Allah’s punishment on a people and just like every time in the past Allah destroyed a people, Muslims are asked to avoid all lands Allah sent down His punishment upon. The Prophet (saws) said people should seek protection from this sound that carries Allah’s punishment with it, by shutting all doors and windows, covering yourself and placing your fingers in your ears (anything that will muffle the sound) and stay inside, all so it’s spiritual effects don’t touch you and your family and misfortune befalls you in the future.

“It was but one Shout (Sayhatan), and lo! they were extinct.” (36~:29)

“Then it will be a single Shout; and behold, they will begin to see! They will say, “Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!” (37:19-29)

[But,] then, that [Last Hour] will be [upon them of a sudden] but a single Shout” (79:13)

“But when the Shout cometh” (80:33)

أخرج ( ك ) الداني ( 519) عن شهر بن حوشب قال:قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
(( يكون في رمضان صوت, وفي شوال [ مهمهة ]  , وفي ذي القعدة تحارب القبائل, و علامته [ ينتهب ]  الحاج  وتكون ملحمة بمنى يكثر فيها القتلى, وتسيل فيها الدماء, حتى تسيل دماؤهم على الجمرة, حتى يهرب صاحبهم, فيؤتى بين الركن والمقام, فيبايع وهو كاره, ويقال له: إن أبيت ضربنا عنقك, يرضى به ساكن السماء وساكن الأرض

Shahr ibn Hawshab said that the Messenger of Allah (saws) stated: “There will be a Sound in (the Hijri Islamic month of ) Ramadan, a Mahmaha (murmuring) in (the Hijri Islamic month of) Shawwal, and war among tribes (of Saudi Arabia) in (the Hijri Islamic month of) Zul-Qi’dah (towards the end of this war Imam Mahdi will appear and stop it) and its sign will be that pilgrims will be robbed (looted). There will be a war with many people killed and blood will be shed in Mina (near Mecca), such that their blood flows on the Jamra (Stone of Satan at which pilgrims throw stones during Hajj).” (Abu Amru Uthman bin Saeed Ad-Dani’s Kitab Al-Sunan Al-Waredah fi al-Fitan )

حدثنا أبو عمر عن ابن لهيعة قال حدثني عبد الوهاب ابن حسين عن محمد بن ثابت البناني عن أبيه عن الحارث الهمداني
عن ابن مسعود رضى الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إذا كانت صيحة في رمضان فإن يكون معمعة في شوال وتميز القبائل في ذي القعدة وتسفك الدماء في ذي الحجة والمحرم وما المحرم يقولها ثلاثا هيهات هيهات يقتل الناس فيها هرجا هرجا
قال قلنا وما الصيحة يا رسول الله
قال هذه في النصف من رمضان ليلة جمعة فتكون هدة توقظ النائم وتقعد القائم وتخرج العواتق من خدورهن في ليلة جمعة في سنة كثيرة الزلازل (والبرد) فإذا صليتم الفجر من يوم الجمعة فادخلوا بيوتكم واغلقوا أبوابكم وسدوا كواكم ودثروا أنفسك وسدوا آذانكم فإذا حسستم بالصيحة فخروا لله سجدا وقولوا سبحان القدوس سبحان القدوس ربنا القدوس فإن من فعل ذلك نجا ومن لم يفعل ذلك هلك

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (ra) said that the Prophet (saws) said: “When there is a Sayha (sound like the shout mentioned in the Quran) in Ramadan, then there will be turmoil in Shawwal, and the tribes will form groups in Zul-Qi’da (because now America is gone from the world and they are free of their politics), and blood will be spilled in Zul-Hijja, and in Al-Muharram! What is prohibited?” saying it three times, “Oh, Oh! The people will be killed in a great massacres.” He said: “We said: “What is the Sayha (scream), O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “This will be in the middle of Ramadan, on a Friday morning. That will be when the month of Ramadan begins on a Friday night. There will be a Hadda (powerful, hammering sound around the world) that will awaken one who is asleep, and bring the young women out of their rooms, on a Friday night during a year of many earthquakes (and very cold). So when Ramadan begins on a Friday night in that year, (and) then when you have prayed Fajr on Friday in the middle of Ramadan, then enter your houses, close your doors, block your windows, cover yourselves, and block your ears. When you sense the scream, fall down in prostration to Allah and say: “Subhanal-Quddus, subhanal-Quddus, rabbunal-Quddus (Glory be to the Most Holy, glory be to the Most Holy, our Lord is the Most Holy).” For whoever does that will survive, and whoever does not will perish.” (Nuaim bin Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan, Hadith )

Checking the Islamic pre-calculated calendar in the estimated timeframe, and allowing for 1 to 2 day moon sighting differences; March 2024 or 2025. January 2030, 2031. December 2032. November 2035. October 2037. The three years, 2030, 31, 32, are the most likely points in time for the event to occur and the years in which we will see Imam Mahdi (ra). It all hinges on when the war in Syria ends than most events will play out within a decade because that is the timeframe of ahadith, from the drying of the river Euphrates, the war between the Arab and surrounding nations over it’s wealth, Europe Attacking America economically, the sanctions on Syria by Europe, the first and second of the Sufyani’s in Syria, the Appearance of the Hashimi and the black flags in Afghanistan who will then come to the aid of Iraq when it is attacked by the Sufyani, they will then continue across Arabia taking Jerusalem. The wars between Europe and Islam would have started the Yellow flags will appear from North Africa after Europe invades Egypt to liberate it, Russia will conquer North Arabia, Allah will devastate America with the Asteroid, then the tribes of Saudi Arabia will fall into civil war, at the end of which Imam Mahdi (ra) will appear.

عن فيروز الديلمي قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يكون في رمضان صوت قالوا يا رسول الله في أوله أوفي وسطه أو في آخره قال لا بل في النصف من رمضان إذا كانت ليلة النصف ليلة الجمعة يكون صوت من السماء يصعق له سبعون ألفا ويصم سبعون ألفا قالوا يا رسول الله فمن السالم من أمتك قال من لزم بيته وتعوذ بالسجود وجهر بالتكبير لله ثم يتبعه صوت آخر فالصوت الأول صوت جبريل والثاني صوت الشيطان فالصوت في رمضان والمعمعة في شوال ويميز القبائل في ذي القعدة ويغار على الحاج في ذي الحجة والمحرم وما المحرم أوله بلاء على أمتي وآخره فرج لأمتي .الراحلة بقتبها ينجو عليها المؤمن خير له من دسكرة تغل مائة ألف

Fairouz Al-Dailami said that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ” In, Ramadan, there will be a Sound. They said: O Messenger of Allah, is it in its beginning, in its middle, or in its end ? He said: No, in the middle of Ramadan. If the night of the middle is Friday, there will be a sound from the sky that causes death to 70 thousand and causes deafness to 70 thousand (this means immediate death from the sound alone like causing heart attacks and deafness). They asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah, who will survive from your Umma (nation)? ‘ He said: ‘Whoever stays at home, seeks refuge (to Allah) through Sujud (prostration), and openly declares Takbir of Allah (‘Allah Akbar’). Then, another sound will follow it (in Sham, an earthquake). The first sound is the voice of Gabriel (carrying out Allah’s punishment) and the second sound is the voice of Satan (Disaster). The sound is in Ramadan, the disturbance is in Shawwal, the tribes form into warring groups in Zul-Qi’da, and it is feared for the pilgrim in Zul-Hijja. In Al-Muharram, what is prohibited in Muharram? Its beginning is calamity on my Umma (nation) and its end is a relief to my Umma (Imam Mahdi will appear). A Rahila (an animal or mode of transportation, I.e fleeing) that may save him is better than a fortress (castle) that shelters one thousand. ” (Tabarani, Abu Amru Ad-Dani, Al-Haithami’s Mujama Al-Zawa’id)

أورد ابن الشجرى في الأمالى الشجرية عن أمير المؤمنين علي
قال انظروا الفرج في ثلاث قلنا يا أمير المؤمنين وما هى قال اختلاف أهل الشام بينهم والرايات السود والقزعة في شهر رمضان فقيل وما القزعة قال أو ما سمعتم قول الله في القرآن : إن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّن السَّمَاء آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ . آية تخرج الفتاة من خدرها وتوقظ النائم وتفزع اليقظان

What Imam Ali (ra) says in the next hadith is amazing because it tells us when all this will happen, one event occurring after the other:

Ali bin Abi Taleb (r.a.) said: ” Wait for the end of misery once three things occur.” We said: What are they, O’ Prince of Believers? He said: “The dispute among the people of AshSham (the Syrian civil war occurring now), the Black Banners (Imam Mahdi’s Army lead by al-Hashimi which other ahadith say will appear after the war in Syria), and the Qaz’a in the month of Ramadan (why will all these events Mark the end of Misery? because the country causing misery around the world will have been entirely destroyed. From this hadith we know When America will be devastated by the Asteroid). It was asked: “What is the Qaz’a ? He said: “Haven’t you heard what Allah said in the Quran (26:4):

إن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّن السَّمَاء آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ

“If We will, We can send down on them a message from the skies, so that their necks would [be forced to] bow down before it in humility.” This Aya (sign from the sky will) make a girl come out of her bedroom, wake up the person who is asleep, and frighten the one who is awake.” (Ibn Al-Shajari’s Al-Amali Al-Shajaria)

أخبرنا جراح عن أرطاة قال
في زمان السفياني الثاني المشوه الخلق هدة بالشام حتى يظن كل قوم أنه خراب ما يليهم

The following hadith is possibly the second sound mentioned in the earlier hadith, it is the second of the three giant earthquakes at the end of time: Artat bin Al-Munzir said: “During the time of the second Sufyani who is physically deformed, a Hadda (powerful, hammering sound) will occur in AshSham (Greater Syria) such that each people will think it is the devastation of other people next to them.” (Nuaim bin Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)

The System Of The Dajjaal

From many Ahadith we know two things about the system of the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him), the first is that He will use it to place sanctions on Countries who dont follow Him, this is world wide economic dominance, the other is He will use a mixture of technology and Sihr (the occult) to trick people into converting to His false religion making them believe he is a god. The prophet (saws) said there will be forerunners to the Dajjal setting up His system for Him, meaning they will be doing the same things He is but to a lessor scale spreading these two methods of doing things around the world. The capitalist economic system that has strangled the world today and allowed countries to wipe out the entire wealth of a nation in a single day, is the first part of the system of the Dajjal.

The other part of that equation are the occult (Sihr) societies now in charge of the world which the wealthy people of the world have adopted over the past century and refuse to let go of, through which they come to manipulate the minds of the public indoctrinating them into what ever they like just as the Pharaohs of egypt before them, to whom Allah sent Musa (as) to destroy the occult system they set up to challenge Allah, this isn’t the first time in history the occult was used to control an entire population but with the arrival of the Dajjal it will be the last.

This is the Lizards hole (Myopic world view) the prophet (saws) said the Western and European worlds will crawl into and refuse to leave: 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)

Until the last Islamic Khalifah fell after WW1 Muslims around the world did their own thing following no one but their leaders and way of life.

We should also understand something fundamental, around the same time it fell groups started appearing around the Islamic world which today we take for granted like the Salafi’s whose purpose at the time was to destroy the Islamic world from within.

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

The groups we know today are the people the prophet (saws) referred to and their history is a testament to this especially the Salafi’s whose founders played a fundamental role is ending the Khalifah. Salafi’s are a group from amongst the Khawarij so is ISIS and al Qaeda, along with the Ikhwan, Deobandi’s, Tablighi’s and every group like them that popped up in the last 100 years or so from the same colonial plan to divide the muslim world by any means. This has nothing to do with the Fiqh or Aqeedah of people but their origins and the people who founded them, in the future as the prophet indicated they will also be responsible for ending the saudi government through civil wars they will instigate among it’s tribes but Allah will end their designs with the arrival of Imam Mahdi (as) to end the civil war and take control of Islam from them.

The prophet (saws) said the khawarij will continue to emerge untill the last of them will emerge on the side of the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him). The Dajjal is the biggest occultist/Sahir this world will face and he will use the economic system the west spread around the world, along with the sihr they developed to convert people to His religion, these are the forerunners to the dajjal setting up his sytem for him, this tells us that today people are using sihr to indoctrinate people into what ever they want to use them for, for them it is a way of life just like when the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him) emerges, today we see signs of it in the media all the time with degeneracy rapidly spreading at an unprecedented rate. In the Islamic world the forerunners are the Salafi’s and their like and this is seen from their origins and the many groups they have set up around the world under different names. (See the chapter on the History of the Salafi’s)

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “In the end of time there shall come men who will swindle the world (Dunya in Arabic, comprehensively meaning the entire globe) with Deen (a general word which mean’s “a way of life”), deceiving the people in soft skins of sheep, their tongues are sweeter than sugar and their hearts are the hearts of wolves. Allah

[Mighty and Sublime is He] says: ‘Is it me you try to delude or is it against me whom you conspire? By Me, I swear to send upon these people, among them, a Fitnah that leaves them utterly devoid of reason.” (Tirmidhi)

That fitnah Allah sent against them is the Sihr they adopted over the past century their actions have destroyed the minds and intellects of their descendants giving them a distorted world view.

“Eyssa son of Maryam will descend, and will call (out to) the people at dawn: “O people, what prevented you from coming out to fight this evil liar? (Dajjal)” They will answer, “He is a jinn”

In order to practice their sihr these forerunners to the Dajjal must Surender their reasoning and consequently their intellect to the Jinn that empower them so the Jinns perceptions become their own, as Allah explained in a hadith Qudsi with prophets and saintly (as) men Allah sends Angels to do this, directing their spiritual sight, so they only see truth (Haq).

Thus the most intelligent creature Allah created, Man, today has surrendered His intellect to the most Myopic (shortsighted) of Allah’s creatures, the Jinn, the only creature ignorant enough to have challenged Allah directly to His face.

The Sihr that the Capitalist world today uses is incorporated into the products they sell and the lifestyles they invent and push onto the public, this is partly seen in the pagan logo’s that represent their companies which tell you the type of sihr and the actual reality behind the lifestyles they invent. Just like the Dajjal who has “two rivers” with him (a metaphor for his teachings), one is like Hell and the other is Heaven, but He will tell people the river of Hell is Heaven and the river of Heaven is Hell, when they enter the river of Heaven they will find it Hell and when they enter the river of Hell they will find Heaven, this means before they adopt the lifestyles of each he promises them the opposite of what they actually are.

Today materialism, buying any thing you come to want, is disguised as happiness because it is cheap to get but just like overeating causes many physiological problems down the road it causes many phsycological/spiritual problems and influences you can’t see, and so the catch phrase of the day is “i dont see anything wrong with it”, the reality is we are not spiritual masters to be able to see anything wrong and so the statement is a testament to the shortsightedness of our nature.

The lifestyles of today are likewise disguised, they are pagan lifestyles in origin (one where the heart has no taste of Allah) without the labels attached to them, they are continuously being reinvented as trends so they won’t be recognised by anyone. Sihr (the occult) is just an evil form of spirituality, so when you touch these lifestyles you raise their corrupted spiritual world above you and that gives them spiritual dominance over your life, you end up following their ways step by step as it is incorporated into your way of life.

When Iblis challenged Allah regarding mankind “He said: by Thy majesty (Izatika), then, I shall surely seduce them, all.” (38:82) He said he would misguide man by Allah’s majesty, grandeur, might, honour/(Izatika), by the fact creatures can be in awe of Allah. Iblis outlined to Allah the weakness of man that he saw, man can be misguided by what He is in awe of or what He magnifies in his heart, which is the core evil behind paganism, idolism and materialism you magnify falshood in the heart becouse these things don’t have any otherworldly power what so ever even if they subtly misrepresent themselves as such when you look at them.

Iblis continued “Except Thy servants from among them, the purified ones.”(38:83) meaning those who keep their hearts from magnifying any falsehood in it, anything that misrepresents itself, Allah then said: “This, then, is the truth! And this truth do I state: Most certainly will I fill hell with thee and such of them as shall follow thee, all together!” (follow your ways, corrupt people with these methods) (38:84-84).

This is part of how the spiritual world works, and for us the spiritual is just the subtle part of our psychology, but Allah teaches us how to protect ourselves from it in the Quran this is why making idols, statues and drawings of living creatures are not permitted in Islam to protect the heart from the very things Iblis swore to use against man and which are being used against mankind today, all of them are things that destroy the reality of “Allahu Akbar” in the heart.

The prophet (saws) understood this power behind the occult and idolism (today you have pop idols and movie idols for your children to idolise and unconsciously make their role models) which is why muslims around the world for the past 1400 years have been regularly chanting “Allahu Akbar”, “Allah is Greater” but this isn’t a reference to size, it means Allah is greater than anything else in your heart, what He wants is above any other want, the aim of their sihr is to destroy this in the hearts of all people around the world because as they steadily erode it from your consciousness it gives them, through their Sihr and Jinn greater access to who you are and ultimately they can shape the world how they want, but these people are doomed to live out the fate preordained for the world which the prophet (saws) saw, their plans amounting to nothing.

Allah warned about this in many scriptures, in the book of revelations for example He said about the wests rise to power over the world 100 years ago; “The dragon (Iblis) gave the (British) beast (empire) his power and his throne and great authority (meaning authority over the devils of the world)” so they can use them in their world wide network of Sihr (Occult practice) as Pharaoh did before them.

The easiest way to avoid much of their influence and the influence of their products is to cut out the Tags in your clothes and deface their logo’s from what you own, it gives their Jinn access to your house and You, and removing them helps stop that.

Imam ‘Ali’s garment where very old with patches on it. When somebody drew his attention towards it, he replied, ” Such dresses, when worn by men of status make them submissive to Allah and kind-hearted towards others and the faithful Muslims can conveniently follow the example “, likewise is the opposite of this, when your clothes are spiritually unclean they can pervert you and help the Jinn.

Allah in the Quran talks about purifying our clothes beocuse of this spiritual reality that exists in the universe, which they are manipulating today to their advantage, it was one of the first things Allah instructed His prophet (saws) to be wary of when He made Him (saws) a prophet, He instructed Him to keep His clothes spiritually clean, Tayibb and Tahir, and that is done through controlling their origin, who makes them:

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلۡمُدَّثِّرُ (١) قُمۡ فَأَنذِرۡ (٢) وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرۡ (٣) وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرۡ (٤) وَٱلرُّجۡزَ فَٱهۡجُرۡ (٥) وَلَا تَمۡنُن تَسۡتَكۡثِرُ (٦) وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصۡبِرۡ (٧

“O thou enveloped in thy cloak, (1) Arise and warn! (2) Thy Lord magnify, (3) Thy raiment (clothes) purify, (4) (Spiritual uncleanliness) shun! (5) And show not favour, seeking wordly gain! (6) For the sake of thy Lord, be patient! (74:1-7)

The spiritual reality of everything we have said Allah has placed in these verses, (2) Thy Lord magnify (say Allahu Akbar), (3) Thy (clothes) purify, (4) (Spiritual uncleanliness) shun! (5), these are from the foundations of religion, the things that build religion in people, that they want to destroy around the world because it empowers their system when nothing exists to challenge it or protect people from them.

The History Of The Salafi’s: The Group Charged With Destroying The Ummah From Within

ac9c0650ccaf1fd5739c78314c4f9f8fبسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Introduction

It is commonly accepted today that the west and world goverments are rulled by secrative occult societies, the History of the Salafi sect responsible for giving us ISIS, Al Qaeda and every modern sect in the muslim world, begins with a power stuggle between Europe, Britain and the last Islamic Khalifah, the Ottomans just before WW1, it was the largest empire in the world and the last empire that stood in their way.

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).

Untill the end of the Islamic Khalifah this could never have happened, it was the power the world looked up to through out it’s history, before Napolean france Britain and Europe looked at it’s size with complete fear.

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 large portions of Arab society will come to worship the devils behind them) (Bukhari).

The lizards hole is a simile for tunnel vision, or the myopic view of the world the west and Europe adopted through it’s occult societies that came to rule it by overthrowing the Church dominated landscape, 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.

John (ra) says in revelation, “The dragon (Iblis) gave the (British) beast (empire) his power and his throne and great authority”…7 It (Britian who ended the Islamic Khalifa) was given power to wage war against Allah’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority (becouse no other empires where left) over every tribe, people, language (we all speak english today) and nation.

China, India, Africa, the Americas the list of civilizations they ended is too great to enumerate, it was a unique event that never occurred before in world history. They ended the last Islamic Khalifah which was also the last Abrahamic Empire, they then warred against all organised religions around the world to secularise the earth. The Prime Minister of England Benjamin Disraeli (d.1881) said before this accomplishment; what “they want…is an end to ecclesiastical (religious) establishments”(Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates).

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 article 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 Islamic institutions they came to control or set up that Maskh of the entire muslim population would occur, exactly 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 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 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).”

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. The Article will focus on the three figures responsible for the creation of the Salafi sect, Jamal al din al Affghani, Muhammad Abdu and Rashid Rida. The historical information is all available in the public domain, the section on Jamal al din al Afghani is corroborated and sourced with a research paper by the University of Michigan entitled “Afghani and Freemasonry in Egypt”.

Salafi’s Are Hand Picked – What Is The Real Face Of Islam?

The Salafi Cult began as a Arab Masonic group in Egypt around the year 1900 or shortly after, its founder was a Masonic Afghani named Jamal al din al Afghani, He was the leader of freemasonry in Egypt often being invited to England and France to advise them.

At the time he was considered one of the Arab world’s biggest reformers and on this reputation alone eventually he was invited by the Ottoman Khalifah of Islam to help his government (the Khalifah did not know this background of his, Freemasons under Ottoman Islam where not allowed to even open a temple in the capital to kurb their influence on politics), but Afghani took advantage of this and helped create the young Turks movement through the Young Ottoman movement he had been having meetings with over the years.

The Young Turks took their name from the Young Ottomans, most of who where the children of this earlier group, they eventually brought down the Khalifah and took control of Turkey.

Afghani was so influential His western students where some of the most famous occultist in history such as Helena Blavatsky, who through her, Afghanis western students would later help found the Nazi party and shape its occult practice, this is the reason why the Nazi’s had a very close relationship with the Ikhwan of Egypt who were later created by the Salafi Cult, from them came Hizb al Tahrir a group trying to capture the future Khalifah of Islam before it arises.

Aleister Crowley was another famous occultist responsible much of the evil in the world today, his teachings created many occult groups like Scientology whose founder learned and practiced his occult teachings, hippies based their free love movement on his ideology and musicians through history like the Beatles and Led Zeppelin idolized him featuring his teachings in their works, Crowley was the result of Helena Blavatsky’s work, he called her his forerunner, Crowley had a son who he named Aleister Ataturk Crowley.

Afghani and his network was the reason why many western occultist’s like Blavatsky and Crowley liked to spend time in Egypt, Afghani’s main student in Egypt is why he found traction in the Arab world, he was one of the Elite of the Country by the name of Muhammad Abduh, at that time there was a power struggle between the Egyptian government and the British and French Empires, which the latter ended up winning, they then installed Abduh as Shaykh al Islam and Shaykh al Azhar in the country, the highest Authority in the land only for him to shortly after legalise riba for the colonial powers which allowed their banks to come and buy the entire country from the Egyptians including the Suez Canal that was crucial to starting WW1.

Abdu had a famous student by the name of Rashid Rida, who came from Lebanon, he helped spread the Salafi cult there and from him to the rest of the world, it is from the extremist who brought down Sunni Islam in Lebanon we get the ideology of Al Qaedah and ISIS today He was responsible for reducing all of Islam to slogans the freemasons used to bring down the Church earlier, the exact same slogans rephrased for Islam.

They are the reason why Allah will drive out the people of Lebanon from Lebanon when Europe begins its wars, as Ahadith say, they have taken over the country with their Masonic Islam and the people can not get it back.

For the next hundred years Masonic temples spread around the Islamic world and many Arabs and Muslims joined them, after the wests network was established in the Muslim world they took the network underground so they could work in secret on their plans for Islam during future generations, and so abruptly most masonic temples where shut down by Feeemasons already in charge of Islamic lands.

Fast forward to our time and no one remembers the days Masonry was in vogue in the Islamic world, most Arabs today hardily hear of it, only the “Islamic” groups they created, Salafi’s, ISIS and Daesh.

So how are people recruited into this group, Rasul Allah (saws) answered this question for us, He (saws) said people are picked to become Salafi’s (as well as ISIS and Daesh) because one of their family members, a grandfather, grandmother and so on was at one point a Mason, they are picked from the descendants of these people.

This is how they are targeted and indoctrinated, then turned, the main fitnah of these people is to change the face of Islam to make it look like anything other than what it is, even if that look still has good in it it does not matter as long as it is not Islam.

When you change the face of Islam the next generation of Muslims will not able to recognise the face of the original Islam and will think it is strange, they will think its traditional teachings and spirituality are strange.

This is a fintah prophesised about in Ahadith and the Salafi cult is its main propagator, other cults around in the Islamic world exist just like them that do the same thing with their respective people like the Deobandi cult of Pakistan, and the Tablighi Jammah of Bangladesh, a group that loves to boast they have largest gathering of Muslims in the world larger than Hajj, because from their own tongues it is a competition between the two which they are trying to beat in order to take from the Baraka of Hajj and destroy its significance, Allah curse them.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Islam began as something strange and will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers.” In Sharh Saheeh Muslim, Imam Al-Nawawi quoted al-Qadi ‘Iyad saying concerning the meaning of this hadith: “Islam began among a few individuals (that recognised it before the rest), then it spread and prevailed, then it will reduce in numbers until there are only a few left (that will recognise it), as it was in the beginning.”

Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman said, “The Prophet said, ‘Islam will become worn out like clothes are, until (at the end) there will be no-one who knows what fasting, prayer, charity and rituals are. The Qur’an will disappear in one night, and no Ayah will be left on earth. Some groups of old people will be left who will say, ‘We heard our fathers saying La ilaha illa Allah, so we repeated it.’ Silah asked Hudhayfah, “What will saying La ilaha illa Allah do for them when they do not know what prayer, fasting, ritual and charity are?” Hudhayfah ignored him; then Silah repeated his question three times, and each time Hudayfah ignored him. Finally he answered, “O Silah, it will save them from Hell”, and said it three times. (Ibn Majah)

A persons Islam shines through his face that is how you know him, so what does traditional Islam look like what does the face of a Muslim look like?

It does not look like the hipster version of Islam seen today, no matter how many times you say Al Hamdulilah or Subhanallah that does not make you Munawir (enlightened with Islam), the word Islam comes from the word Salam so when Salam and calmness are part of your nature because of your life that is proper Islam, it isn’t the jumping around we see in western Muslims.

[Say: “Our life takes its] hue from God! And who could give a better hue [to life] than God, if we but truly worship Him?” (2:138)

“(We take our) colour from Allah, and who is better than Allah at colouring. We are His worshippers.” (2:138)

صِبْغَةَ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ صِبْغَةً وَنَحْنُ لَهُ عَابِدُونَ

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 19th century which was entirely aimed at ridding the muslim world of it’s heritage by making it adopt the western lifestyle he practiced and the west needed muslims to adopt, all along with 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 (shia) 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 created through mans actions, in essence everything in life had value because “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”.

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.

Ali Pasha (d.1871) brought him to Istanbul and assigned him duties, Hasan Tahsin, the rector of the university of Istanbul was a Mason educated in Paris by the grand vizer of the Ottomans, Reshid Pasha who was similarly a Mason and known best as the chief architect behind the Tanzimat reforms of the Ottoman government (He was declared a disbeliever by Shaykh Hasan Fahmi Effendi), they 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 110th 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 very quickly were ever he went in order 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. “Woe to you! Forge not ye a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you utterly by chastisement: the forger must suffer frustration!” (20:61) this was the life of Afghani exiled from one country to another and dying in a foreign land.

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, Templars through out history had a close relationship with them often using them for political aims.

Afghani was one of the teachers of Helena Blavatsky a 19th 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 al 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.

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 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).

“People worshiped the dragon (Iblis) because he had given authority (the occult) to the beast (British)” (the book of revelations).

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 Egyptian peoples 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.

His methods for converting people was to loudly proclaim he was a Salafi only teaching the purest of pure islam, by omission everyone else wasn’t. 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 and we can see his methods were very effective in converting people in a short span of time.

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, 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 20th 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, he 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 and 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 had not 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, under a Khalifah this was state law, so imagine a person asking people in England to begin inventing their own laws for government and then living by them, the result of this in the wider society served nothing but his greater aims of anarchy to serve the British Empire that employed him and his teachers.

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.

Rashid 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 stripped of resources. They did this to the America’s, Africa and India just to surpass the Ottomans who’s expansionist nature terrified them prior to 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 law.

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 these conclusions by themselves, then that idea would have a longer lasting effect in society.

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, their 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.

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).

This was a normal day at work in British politics and espionage against a larger and superior Ottoman Khalifah, divide a larger enemy in order to conquer it.

These three figures were tasked with creating and spreading 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 colonized by the British Empire at a later time.

In fact British borders saw their greatest expansion immediately after the successful colonisation of Ottoman lands, making a small island the worlds leading superpower.

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 which would succeed them (see the links at the end of the article for a greater explanation of the book of revelations). They are against these institutions because traditional religion is the only thing that can challenge their occult practices destroying it’s effects entirely, which they use to manipulate people and affairs, pharaoh used it to control his people and Allah sent Him Moses (as) to challenge him, hence it shouldn’t be a surprise they are fond of Egyptian occult symbols, if pharaoh’s occult power was not real and effective Musa (as) would not have had to challenge him in this very sphere to destroy it in peoples minds.

Secularism and Atheism by contrast to religion places you deeper under occult influence so it shouldn’t be amazing to hear this considering that most modern societies are ruled by occult societies, people that believe in something, the double standard is deliberate, people won’t fight what they don’t believe in, but the Quran teaches us this exists through the many accounts of Musa (as) and Sulayman (as) who dealt with it on a national level before us.

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)
Nationalism Is Created In Egypt

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 events here are entirely from this work. 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 states 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 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 such as Afghani’s personal accounts.

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 in the country, 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 Islam, the prophet (saws) explicitly stating that 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 Governments.

“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, what it was raised on.

Afghani liberated peoples minds from “this reality”, and attached it to his temporary goals through slogans and short sighted idealism that ultimately just 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…despite the fact Islam had already established these things 1400 years earlier, if you begin your attack with an accusation the response is automatically defensive, 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. Afghani grew increasingly critical of Ismail’s policies (the leader of egypt) 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 (Isma’il’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 indicating a political shift he wanted to take advantage of. Moreover, he was a member of the Nile lodge at least as late as August, 1878, “as its model”, this lodge “follows the [National] Grand Lodge of England in its customs, laws and ritual.”

Several accounts report that following his withdrawal from the English Masons, Afghani formed “a national lodge” (mafyfalan wataniyyan) affiliated with the French Grand Orient, although after his exile from Egypt, and while in France, his affiliations would change back, visiting England and accepting assignments from them. Within a short time this lodge boasted a membership of more than three hundred. Besides Afghani’s usual followers, it attracted a number of journalists, intellectuals, notables, ‘ulama’ (scholars), members of the Assembly and some army officers.

The members were divided into several committees to serve as liaisons with government departments. One was entrusted with the War Minister, others were assigned to the Ministers of Justice, Finance, Public Works, etc.

It was through this association remarks Rashid Rida, that ‘Abduh was able to establish contact with Tawfiq Pasha and other leaders of Egypt. Tawfiq’s association with Afghani can be traced to this period. He joined the lodge headed by Afghani, and at his inauguration as Khedive leader of Egypt on 27 June, 1879, a delegation of Masons from this lodge went to congratulate him. Also, when he died in 1892, another delegation was present at the funeral ceremonies.

On his part, Tawfiq professed liberalism and promised constitutional reforms upon his accession to the Khedivate. Whether he was privy to any plot to remove his father by force can only be conjectured, but certainly Afghani was thinking in these terms. ‘Abduh relates that in the spring of 1879 Afghani and many notables asked the then Chief Minister Sharif Pasha to “convince Isma’il of the need to abdicate” but Isma’il refused. Later Afghani led a delegation of Egyptians to see the newly arrived French Consul-General, Tricou, and told him that “there is in Egypt a national party which wants reform…and that this reform cannot be carried out except at the hands of the heir-apparent Tawfiq Pasha.”

In this we see, the now french masons, making efforts to place in power a ruler in Egypt loyal to them, it would not be long after the struggle between these groups that the English Empire would come to colonize Egypt outright.

There was much private talk in that spring among a group of Azhari reformers influenced by Afghani as to how Isma’il could be deposed; they even considered assassination, much as did the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood years later, assassinating one Egyptian president and attempting to kill another.

In ‘Abduh’s words, Afghani proposed that Isma’il should be assassinated as he passed in his carriage daily over the Kasr el Nil bridge, and I strongly approved, but it was only talk between ourselves, and we lacked a person capable of taking a lead in the affair.

Afghani, a Times correspondent observed, had “almost obtained the weight of a Median law among the lower and less educated classes” meaning his rule, even the king was powerless to change, the lower classes would come to form the Salafi movement and eventually the Muslim Brotherhood.

It was during these turbulent times that the national movement began to emerge. In April, 1879 the existence of the Patriotic (Party) Society (al-Hizb al-Watani) became publicly known.

When Tawfiq replaced his father as Khedive in June, 1879 Afghani was no longer his main teacher, he would come into contact with less corrupt Muslims working in the government.

Afghani and the nationalists still believed that the long-awaited reforms (needed to establish foreign rule) could at last be instituted, for such had been the impression given by Tawfiq before his accession. He continued to give the same impression during the first few weeks of his reign. For example, the delegation of Masons sent to congratulate him upon his accession was assured of his intention to implement reforms. Sharif Pasha, who had been serving as Chief Minister since April, stayed in office holding the same notion. Afghani, too, remained on good terms. But the honeymoon did not last long. Afghani, Sharif and the various nationalist groups were applying pressure on Tawfiq for immediate reforms.

Sharif submitted a plan for a constitution that would have created a strong representative assembly (of people representing them) and ministerial responsibility, but at the expense of the Khedive’s powers (the idea was to take power away from Egyptians and put them in the hands of the minority elite allied to them), Tawfiq’s foreign consuls advised him otherwise, replacing Sharif with Riyad.

Supported by Sherif Pasha, he [Afghani] for some time deemed it expedient to conceal his more pronounced views, but on the fall of the late Ministry [of Sharif] he seems to have lent himself more openly to a propaganda against the introduction of the European element in any form into the administration of the country, possibly demonstrating the point he turned back to British Masonry.

Afghani now disillusioned not knowing who his allies were, a French journalist gives the following eyewitness account: One evening in the Hasan mosque in Cairo, before an audience of four thousand people, he [Afghani] gave a powerful speech in which he (duplicitly) denounced with a deep prophetic sense, three years before the event, the ultimate purpose of British policy on the banks of the Nile. He also showed at the same time the Khedive Taufiq as compelled to serve—consciously or not— British ambitions, and ended his speech by a war-cry against the foreigner and by a call for a revolution to save the independence of Egypt and establish liberty (i.e for people to utilise his methods as the blind rushed to him, which would have achieved this very thing they feared).

It would not be long after this that the British Empire would have the pretext it needed to colonize Egypt and control the Suez Canal along with all traffic through it, Two World Wars would later prove how vital this area is.

At the same time, Afghani was implicated in a plot attributed to the Masonic followers of ‘Abd al-Halim, the son of Muhamad Ali the former ruler of Egypt, aimed at replacing Tawfiq with Halim. In letters written in 1883, Afghani (sneakingly) complained that it was the officer ‘Uthman Pasha (the Police Chief of Cairo) who had spread these “malicious” rumors and told Tawfiq that Afghani planned to kill him in concert with the Masons.

To Riyad Pasha he wrote: “A group of foreign Masons and their followers… who were under the leadership of ‘Abd al-Halim when he was president of the Masonic Order in Cairo, tried to work for Halim’s succession and I, out of my love for the Khedive Tawfiq, left them.”
On the 24 August, 1879, Afghani was seized by the police, whisked away to Suez, and was put on a ship bound for India. A few days later the official gazette, al-Waqa’i’ al-Misriyya, published the government’s statement, and new independent stance, charging Afghani with leading a secret society based on violence, and aimed at corrupting religion and the world” echoing the words of the British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli (d.1881).

History

“In 1854 and 1856, Ferdinand de Lesseps obtained concessions from Saaid 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 Saaid 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 the 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 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 (salafi’s) 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 19th 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 results in 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 muslim 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 consistently depicted this very fact until people complained that it was drawing christians to islamic lands.

When Salafi’s say Islam is peace they are deliberately teaching pacifism, in times of turmoil this means lay down and don’t resist, every salafi definition or explanation of Islam will only lead a person to pacifism or extremism, this is fattening an animal for slaughter, because people are trapped in a psychology that makes it difficult to stand up for yourself, justice or recognise when you are being attacked, these are the two paths they put people on to take advantage of them, it all depends on what they find people.

The muslim brotherhood employed masonic tactics to great effect, in this regard they where responsible for the 1948 assassination of the prime minister of Egypt Mahmoud Pasha for which al Banna was killed, both the assassination and the group behind it the prophet (saws) mentioned in Ahadith as a sign of the hour. The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “The Hour will not begin until you kill your ruler and fight one another with swords (weapons), and your world is inherited by the worst of you.” (Ibn Maaja) the last part of the hadith gives it’s timing, the muslim world after the Khalifa was inherited by the worst of people, the salafi muslim brotherhood who He (saws) named the worst people under the sky multiple times, after their assassination of Mahmoud Pasha they spread around the entire world establishing the networks and groups we see dominating everything Islamic today.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said about the salafi’s, al Qaeda and ISIS: “Whoever defects from obedience and separates from the main body of the Muslim – and dies in that state – dies the death of one belonging to the days of jahiliyya (ignorance before islam). And he who is killed under the banner of a man who is blind (has a false cause and ideology), who gets flared up with family pride and fights for his tribe (fights for nationalism) is not from my Ummah, and whosoever from my followers (these people, the Salafi’s) attacks my followers killing (indiscriminately) the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch in faith and fulfilling not his obligation towards them who have been given a pledge (of security, the non muslims), is not from me” (even if he professes Islam). (Muslim)

After the 1952 Egyptian coup supported by the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood, who were trained by prominent leaders of the Nazi party now exiled to Egypt after WW2, in 1961 the Egyptian president Gamel Abdul Nasser violently abolished Masonry in Egypt, and in 1964 it’s last Temple was shut down by the Ministry of Social Affairs, the reason given was that “Associations with undeclared agendas were incompatible with rules covering non profit organizations.”

By this time world dominance was switching from the British Empire to the U.S which rescued it after a near death blow by Hitler in WW2, along with all of it’s old allies including the Salafi’s who were by now switching allegiances. Today they are used by the west for separatist and military activities and to strong arm groups, organisations and individuals. They are the wests go to group doing all the dirty work to pave the way for them and their society in a country, including the destruction of holy sites, best seen in Iraq and Syria today.

In 1966 Sayyid Qutb, now the Muslim brotherhoods main figure was accused of an assassination plot against the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and consequently was executed by Hanging.

Since then by 2015 the Salafi’s and Muslim Brotherhood have spawned every extremist and fringe group found in Islamic lands to date, from Hizb al Tahrir to Al Qaeda and ISIS, like their predecessors they have all been widely charged in the Islamic world with working for western governments and hence now their motives and history become clear, all of these groups are heavily influenced by the teachings and methods of these heretical figures of the 19th century following in their footsteps working for the same powers that created them.
After the Muslim brotherhood was banned in Egypt, they fled around the world and were taken in by western societies who largely use them to further their aims within Islamic communities.

These extremists were allowed to establish in western societies the major Islamic institutions and Mosques which now dominate the Muslim landscape. Two such clear and obvious groups created by the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood are ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America, now the largest Islamic group in the U.S and the MSA, Muslim Students Association found in nearly every western University on earth, all of which are dominated by Salafi’s, a heretical group that is less than 1% of the world Muslim population yet dominates those who represent 99% of Sunni Islam in these lands.

With a free reign to control the muslim intellectual landscape in these countries they use these institutions to recruit the next generations of extremists and occultists. We shouldn’t be shocked regarding their position over Orthodox Muslims living abroad since it is all very deliberate, what is required of us is simply understanding of who we are dealing with and why they are receiving support.

Offshoots of the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood appeared around the world under different names through out history, in 1941 Abul Ala Maududi founded one offshoot called the Jamaati Islami in India and has since spread to Pakistan. In 1927 Muhammad Illyass al Kandhlawi created the Tablighi Jamat present in India and Bangladesh, it to was a Salafi offshoot from the salafi influenced, Hanafi Deobandi movement created in 1867. Another group dominant in the region was Nadwatul Ulama which was intended to be a modified version of the Deobandi school, the foundation stone was laid by John Briscott Hewitt, Governor of India in 1906.

In Algeria in the early 1990s, the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood formed the Movement for the Society of Peace [MSP], previously known as Hamas. In Bahrain the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood is represented by Al Eslah [Islah] Society and its political wing, the Al-Menbar Islamic Society, in 2002 Al Menbar became the joint largest party.

The Iraqi Islamic Party was formed in 1960 as the Iraqi branch of the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood. The Kurdistan Islamic Union [KIU] holds seats in the Kurdish parliament. In Jordan Hammam Saeed is head of the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood.

In Syria the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood was crushed by Hafez al Assad in 1982, they have now returned in the form of Al Qaeda and ISIS.
In Saudi Arabia the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood has been tolerated by the Saudi government, and maintains a presence in the country. Though Saudi officials have denounced the Muslim Brotherhood, saying it is guilty of “betrayal of pledges and ingratitude” and is “the source of all problems in the Islamic world”.

“In Somalia the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood is known as Harakat Al-Islah or “the Reform Movement”. The leaders of Harakat Al-Islah played a key role in the educational network establishing Mogadishu University. Through their network, they’ve educated more than 120,000 students in the city of Mogadishu.”

In Sudan, since the salafi inspired Mahdi sect was created, “it was the one country were the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood was most successful in gaining power, its members making up a large part of the government officialdom following the 1989 coup d’état by General Omar Hassan al-Bashir.”

“In Palestine, following the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007, it was the first time since the above mentioned Sudanese coup of 1989, that a “Muslim Brotherhood group” ruled a significant geographic region and territory.”

“Libya was one of the first countries outside Egypt to have a Muslim Brotherhood group. In the late 1940s when the Egyptian members were being prosecuted, King Idris I of Libya offered the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood refuge and the freedom to spread their ideology. In 1955, the University of Libya was established in Benghazi, near the Egyptian border, and it drew many Egyptian teachers and lecturers including Muslim Brotherhood members. Not long after coming to power, Col. Gaddafi regarded the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood as a potential source of opposition. He arrested many Egyptian members and expelled them back to Egypt.” Before the Arab spring began America publicly pledged $1 billion in aid to the Salafi’s to topple Gaddafi, much of that aid is now being used by Al Qaeda and ISIS to fight muslims in their homelands around the world including Syria.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said about the Salafi Brotherhood trying to establish it’s rule throughout the muslim world, “O Ka’ab ibn Ujrah, may Allah give us refuge from the rulings of al Sufaha (literally those who brainwash). The prophet was asked “O messenger of Allah what is the rulings of al Sufaha? He (saws) said “Rulers (those placed in charge) who will be after me. They do not follow my guidance, and they do not implement my sunnah. The one who follows their lies, and helps them in their oppression, he is not from me, and I am not from him, and he will not enter my Hawd (paradise). And the one who did not believe their lies, and did not help them in their oppression, he is from me, and I am from him, and he will enter my Hawd. (Sahih Ibn Hibban, al Mustadrak and al Hakim)

The Salafi Muslim Brotherhood are the Khawarij (those who rebel) in our time, they are ‘al Sufaha’ and their leaders are part of the Ruwaybidyh (the corruptors of society) mentioned by the prophet (saws), there is no doubt about this in the minds of Islam’s scholars, there is no other group responsible for all the modern sects in the muslim world, while at the same time they duplicity call for an end to all other sects, a tactic Rashid Rida and Muhammad Abduh taught them and used.

They are mentioned in over 50 Ahadith by the prophet (saws), from the Hadith about the assassination of the Egyptian President, to the Fox’s now in Syria, ISIS, to the Ahadith about the false callers to Jihad, to the Ahadith about the Ruwaybidah, to the Ahadith about ridding your self of weapons to avoid their false Jihad and becoming a suicide bomber, to the countless Ahadith describing the Khawarij (those who rebel) at the end of time. The Prophet (saws) said they will look like us and talk like us and ‘if you go to them they will throw you into Hell’.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, ‘At the end of time there shall appear a folk (so recognize them), young in age and brainwashed (Sufaha al Ahlam). They will speak the words of the best of people (just to mislead others), but their faith will not pass their throats (their faith is fake, just for show). They shall pass through Islam just as an arrow passes through a hunted game (they are brainwashed into entering the movement and brainwash others when they become evil). Kill them wherever you find them, for the one who kills them will be rewarded on the Day of Resurrection’. (Bukhari and Muslim)

The prophet (saws) said “Shaytan is a wolf like the wolf that preys on sheep, taking the isolated and the stray among them; therefore, avoid factionalism and keep to the congregation and the collective and the masjid.”, “Allah’s hand is over the group, and whoever dissents from them departs to hell.”, “Allah’s hand is over the group, follow the largest group, for verily whoever dissents from them (and joins their sects) departs to hell”.

Amr ibn Waabisah related from his father from Ibn Mas’ood who said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah say (and he mentioned part of Abu Bakrah’s Hadeeth, “let him betake himself to his sword, crush its blade with a rock”) “All of those killed in it (the fitna) are in the Hellfire.” Waabisah asked, “And when is that, O Ibn Mas’ood?” He said, “Those are the days of much killing, when a man will not be safe from the companion he sits with.” (The Salafi’s who pretend they are your muslim Brothers and Sisters) Waabisah said, “And what do you order me to do if I reach that time?” He said, “Restrain your tongue and your hand (don’t get involved in their fake discussions), and be a fixture from the fixtures of your house.”(Abu Dawwud)

The prophet (saws) preferred that a person choose death itself rather than get involved with them, he (saws) said, “Break your bows, cut their strings, and strike your swords against stones. If someone comes to kill any of you, then be like the better of the two sons of Adam” (who was killed at the hands of his brother). (Abu Dawud)

Allah’s Messenger (saws) said, “The Hour will not be established (1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine (in another translation – “each having the same claim”), (2) till about thirty Dajjaal’s (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah’s Messenger (saws), (3) till religious knowledge is taken away” (Bukhari).

The Timing of this Hadith is after WW1, while al Afghani and Abduh were certainly one of the Nayifan, liars in society and this was entirely how they lived their lives, traveling from one Islamic country to another creating sects and occult groups, it was their students after WW1, a time when there was no Khalifah, who were the ones to succeed in bringing in a new way of life to the Muslim Ummah. It is then certain that Rashid Rida, Hasan al Banna and Sayyid Qutb were each one of these Dajjaal’s (Allah’s curse be upon them) in the muslim Ummah. Sayyid Qutb for example in many of his writings tried to liken Islam to the Nazi communism his sect aligned itself with, and just as the prophet (saws) said religious knowledge was taken away because of them and the other Dajjal’s that appeared in the muslim world during this time.

The prophet (saws) said after Allah takes knowledge from the Ummah “All that remains will be an ignorant body of people. The people will ask them (the scholars of this time) about religious needs, and they will issue fatwas (legal rulings) in light of their own ideas and desires and will both deviate themselves and lead others into deviation.” (Bukhari)

The prophet (saws) told us when we would see the evils of the salafi Muslim brotherhood in detail, He (saws) said “Such a time will befall my community that rulers will be oppressive (the era of dictators that is now lifting from the muslim world began after WW1) and scholars will be avaricious (having an extreme greed for wealth) and without fear of Allah (this state resulted because of the Slalfi muslim brotherhood that spread around the world corrupting scholars and replacing the Imam of every masjid with their own liars), those who worship will be hypocritical, traders will seek to earn interest (this began when western banks moved in and they attempted to legalise riba in the muslim world) and they will only hide their disgraces in business (this is something unique to our modern world because it is the only thing that can end a company today, publicizing it’s fraudulent practices, otherwise everything else in society is accepted). Their women will be caught up in baubles of this world (love for trinkets and show). Evils will plague them at that time (the evil of this world did not spread like a plague before our time, it’s a plague when it is widely practiced and you can’t find a place free from it). The good will pray and they will not be heeded” (no one will listen to sound advice) (Bihar al Anwar, which is a shia work).

The prophet (saws) directly referring to the Salafi’s (saws) said, “there will appear in the latter times a people who will gain this world with the help of religion (meaning by using and selling their religion)” (Tirmidhi)

Allah’s messenger (saws) said. “In the end times men will come forth who will fraudulently use religion for worldly ends and wear sheepskins (cloths made from wool etc.) in public to display meekness. Their tongues will be sweeter than sugar, but their hearts will be the hearts of wolves (vicious animals).”(Tirmidhi)

This is the history of the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood throughout all islamic countries, nearly every sectarian group was started by them, and nearly every extremists has come from them.

This is the culmination to what the salafi muslim brotherhood are aiming at they want to destroy the presence of religion, to this aim they are destroying Islamic heritage sites, tombs and digging up the bodies of the companions, saints and holy people, when this is accomplished around the world by the salafi’s for their western masters muslims won’t have any place that is theirs.

Allah revealed the following verses about them in surah al Baqarah; (7) And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day, when they believe not. (8) They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not. (9) In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increaseth their disease. A painful doom is theirs because they lie. (10) And when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they say: We are peacemakers only. (11) Are not they indeed the mischief-makers ? But they perceive not. (12) And when it is said unto them: believe as the people believe, they say: Shall we believe as the foolish believe? Beware! They indeed are the foolish? But they know not. (13) And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe; but when they go apart to their devils they declare: Lo! we are with you; verily we did but mock. (14) Allah (Himself) doth mock them, leaving them to wander blindly on in their contumacy. (15) These are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, so their commerce doth not prosper, neither are they guided. (16)

(17) Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire, but when it had illumined all around him (when they relied on the light of that fire), Allah took away their (inner) light, and left them in utter darkness– they do not see (in other words these fake muslims relied on a light other than Allah’s, the occult light of the Kufar, so Allah took their inner light, Iman, and they didn’t even notice because they felt secure they had light). (18) Deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they will not turn back. (19) Or like abundant rain from the (heavy) cloud in which is utter darkness and thunder and lightning; they put their fingers into their ears because of the thunder peal, for fear of death (that they get struck), and (all the while) Allah encompasses the unbelievers (with what they fear). (20) The lightning almost takes away their sight (their fear makes them blind); whenever it shines on them they walk in it (thinking it is the light of guidance), and when it becomes dark (actually safe) to them they stand still (instead); and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have taken away their (inner) hearing and their sight (completely not just during these times); surely Allah has power over all things (they go head long into danger and can’t recognise safety because of their self delusions, their world is backwards they see wrong as right and right as wrong).

The prophet (saws) said referring to the scholars of these heretical sects; “Seventy thousand scholars wearing turbans from my community will follow the Dajjaal” (Ahmad ibn Hanbal), because of such a large number that isn’t just the Salafi scholars but the scholars of their offshoots around the world as well.

“And Pharaoh commanded: ‘Bring before me every learned sorcerer. (occultist)’” (10:79)

The World Will Be Split Into Two Camps

584aa2a99874ce4d2dca12d176f1d95bبسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Salman al farisi (ra) said “I swear to him who holds my life”, (the prophet (saws) said) “Oh Salman, at that time will talk (al) ‘Ruwaybidah’ (the corruptors of society). Salman asked: “And what is Ruwaybidah? O Messenger of Allah, my father and mother be sacrificed for you.” (the) Holy Prophet (saws) said, “Such (degenerate) persons will talk about (and govern) public affairs who had not talked in such matters (as these) before (they will govern over matters not normally governed over, and will govern peoples private lives to degrees never heard of before). Then in a short time, chaos will appear upon the earth, and every nation will think that chaos was only in their land (but it will cover the whole world). They will remain in that condition as long as Allah would wish them to remain.”

The prophet (saws) described the world we see today perfectly, not simply what is reported in the news and is being manipulated, but what is happening behind the scenes to control peoples lives. We will mostly Quote Ahadith In part to be brief.

The Prophet (saws) said, “At the end of time there will be a trial in which people will be sorted (called fitnatul Duhaima) in a similar way to that in which gold is sorted from metal.”

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “There will be at the end of time a trial that will sort out men as gold is sorted out from metal (fitnatul Duhaima)” (These Ahadith are found in the references of Abu Dawud, Ahmad, Ibn Majah and At-Tabarani and al Hakim reported them).

The prophet (saws) begins these lengthier Ahadith by mentioning the sifting of people, “At the end of time there will be a trial in which people will be sorted in a similar way to that in which gold is sorted from metal” the precious metal is removed from the scrap ore around it, hence He (saws) is telling us the pure religious people will be sorted from the scrap degenerate people around them. This Fitnah that began splitting the world into two camps is called the Duhaima, or the era of darkness, and it was the September the 11th attacks in which America famously declared “You are either with us or against Us”, this is all made clear by many other ahadith outlined elsewhere in our works.

The prophet (saws) gave us a history of how this Fitnah entered the islamic world and came to dominate it, by outlining the events that shaped the Islamic world before hand, it all began with the first Gulf War in which America first invaded Islamic lands on such a large scale.

The Prophet (pbuh) said: There will be such troubles and calamities that nobody will have a place to shelter from them. These calamities will travel around Sham (the initial wars after WW2 between the 50’s, 70’s and 80’s) and settle over Iraq (Iran-Iraq war, the Iraq-Kuwait war then finally the first Gulf war in the 90’s that ensured war would permanently settle over iraq to this day and into the future). They will bind the Arabian Peninsula (in it’s politics)…As they attempt to eliminate these calamities in one (place) they will arise again in another (the invasion of Afghanistan then the Syrian Civil War). (Kenzul Ummal, Book of Thoughts on Doomsday, Vol 5, p 38-39)

Abdullah ibn Umar said: While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah he mentioned the Fitan (strifes, trials & tribulations), mentioning many of them until he mentioned Fitnatul Ahlaas (The trial of the Saddlebag). Someone asked him: ‘ O Messenger of Allah, what is fitnatul Ahlaas? He said “It is the usurping of wealth and the fleeing” (the Iraq Kuwait war because of which America entered Islamic lands and has never really left. The simile is of raiders riding into a town and plundering it of all the wealth they can carry in their saddlebags then fleeing, which Iraq did to Kuwait, the so called war lasting only two days until America intervened). Then (after it), will come Fitnatul Sarra (the fitna of secrets, espionage, subversion of islamic society by spying on the islamic population to govern their private lives through the Ruwaibidah, the degenerates placed in charge): its smoke (effects from it’s fire which occurred because of the worlds largest war of espionage, the cold war, between the U.S and USSR) is under the feet of a man (descendant) from my household (family), who claims he is of me, but he is not because my Awlyia (saintly men) are those who fear Allah (Saddam Hussein, whose last name indicates He is from Ahl al bait, but His actions took Him out of it). Then people will gather and agree upon a man, (but it will be an agreement that is) like a hip on a rib (meaning this will be a temporary arrangement, as a hip bone does not belong on the rib, a person needs to bend forward for that to occur and so he can’t stay in that posture. Before September the 11th the Arab world at large rallied around Osama bin Laden who was attacking America around the world). Then there will be the Duhaima (Blind black, dark, catastrophic) trial (the era of Darkness). It will afflict every single person from this Nation. When it will be said that it is over, it will return; during it, a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever (by) the night (such is it’s intensity). (This will continue) until people will go to two Fustaats (groups) — the Fustaat of Eemaan (Group of faith and religion), in which there is no hypocrisy, and the Fustaat of hypocrisy, in which there is no Eemaan (Religion, the group of hypocrites will be Kufar in secret, but they will openly profess religion, this is why they are Hypocrites). And when that will come to you (when the sorting of people into the group of religion and the group of kufr will finally end), wait for the Dajjaal on that day or on the morrow.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, Hadith 3. Ahmad related it as well in his Musnad).

The Duhaima (September the 11th) is the Fitnah that will sort people out into two camps until the time of the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him), and will only end when He emerges because He will take control of the camp of hypocrites and attack the camp of Religion trying to destroy them and religion completely.

People today are being forced to Join the group of Hypocrites, this is done by various ways the most effective is the use of sihr (the occult) against them, the prophet (saws) said “at the end of time sihr will be widespread”, a person “will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever (by) the night”.

People will be made Kufar in a short period of time by society also using Maskh on them, this is the deliberate stunting of peoples intellects and intelligence using Sihr and drugs (pharmaceuticals). 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)”.

Maskh literally means to shrink or stunt someones personal growth, today they deliberately stunt large portions of societies intellects so they can’t judge clearly and be taken advantage of by those who practice Sihr (the occult), hence today they have made society revolve around them and the elitist societies who perfected it. This is the camp of the hypocrites the prophet (saws) spoke about, these people are the forerunners to the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him) who the prophet (saws) said will pave the way for Him setting up his system before He arrives. The Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon Him) is the biggest occultist this world will face, He will use a combination of Sihr and technology to delude people, hence what we see today, including Maskh, is the system He will perfect and try to imprison the world with when He emerges.

This state of affairs, of Maskh and Sihr (the occult) being widely used is also clearly prophesied in the bible. The prophet (saws) mentions the effects of Maskh on society clearly in the next hadith.

The companions said in reference to the madness in the world today (caused by Maskh), shocked that people would act so blindly and immaturely…“And while the book of Allah will be still with us?!” the prophet (saws) 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 Messenger of Allah (saws) said to Kab ibn Ujrah “O Ka’ab ibn Ujrah, may Allah give us refuge from the rulings of al Sufaha (those who brainwash others and are brainwashed themselves, these are the elite societies who perform Maskh on each other and society, and the Ruwaibidah they use to control society). The prophet was asked “O messenger of Allah what is the rulings of al Sufaha? He (saws) said “Rulers who will be after me (at the end of time). They do not follow my guidance, and they do not implement my sunnah. The one who follows their lies, and helps them in their oppression (use of Maskh), he is not from me, and I am not from him, and he will not enter my Hawd (paradise). And the one who did not believe their lies, and did no help them in their oppression, he is from me, and I am from him, and he will enter my Hawd. (Sahih Ibn Hibban, al Mustadrak, al Hakim)

Imam Badr al-Din al-Ayni (d.855 AH) said: The phrase, ‘sufaha al-ahlam’, implies ‘mentally deficient are the brainwashed’, the Messenger of Allah (saws) said, “At the end of time there shall appear a folk (so recognize them), young in age and brainwashed (Sufaha al Ahlam)”.

Allah mentions the camp of the hypocrites in the Quran in clear terms; And there are among mankind people who say: We believe in Allah and the last day; and they are not at all believers (the camp of the Hypocrites). They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, and they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive. There is a disease in their hearts, so Allah added to their disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they lied. And when they are told, “Do not spread corruption on earth,” they answer, “We are but improving things!”Are not they indeed the spreaders of corruption? But they perceive not. And when it is said to them: Believe as the people believe, they say: Shall we believe as the deluded (Sufaha) believe? Now surely they themselves are deluded (Sufaha), but they do not know.”(2:7-13)

Allah then goes on to amazingly talk about the occult practice of the camp of hypocrites who pretend they are Muslims, “And when they meet those who have attained to faith, they assert, “We believe [as you believe]”; but when they find themselves alone with their devils (Jinn), they say (to their Jinn), “Verily, we are with you; we were only mocking!”(2:14)
From verse 7 to verse 20 in surah al Baqarah Allah uses 13 verses to describe the state of mind and reality of these people who are the most deluded people that Allah has ever mentioned in the Quran.

Many people today have joined the camp of the hypocrites who are fake muslims, christians and Jews (etc), pretending they still have Islam (religion) but practice Sihr (the occult) on people on behalf of those who control them and society. Allah will never accept these people until they get themselves out of this camp and situation and return to the camp of the muslims in order to struggle with them for the future, the muslims have given up their lives and families for their Deen so Allah won’t show leniency to those who put them in this hardship, and in fact He swore this in the Quran at the beginning of time when Adam was still in Jannah, such was Allah’s knowledge of this matter.

You have to save your self from the Hypocrites by any means in order to save your Akhira (afterlife), because these people controlling the camp of Hypocrites follow the occult and are part of Iblis’s plan for the world, (Iblis/Satan) said: “O my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised.” (Allah) said: “Respite is granted thee till the Day of the Time appointed.” (Iblis) said: “O my Lord! Because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on earth (I will delude them about matters in their lives), and I will put them all in the wrong (making wrong and shortsighted choices), Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (who purify themselves spiritually).” (Allah) said: “This (path of purifying our character) is indeed a way that leads straight to Me. For over My servants (who do this) no authority (control) shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong (perform corrupt acts) and follow thee.” (15: 36–42)
Allah swore he would throw the camp of iblis and those who follow Him and His ways into Hell, there is no other end for the camp of hypocrites.

Save your self before your life ends and leave them, even if they are your family, leave them before your religion leaves you, Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Messenger of Allaah (saws) said: ‘Whoever imitates a people is one of them.’” (Abu Dawood) while Allah said “And if any amongst you takes them [Jews and Christians] as Awliyaa’ [friends, helpers]), then surely, he is one of them…”(5:51)

Iblis said: “Because thou hast thrown me out of the way, lo! I will lie in wait for them on thy straight way: Then will I assault them from before them and behind them, from their right and their left: Nor wilt thou find, in most of them, gratitude.” (Allah) said: “Get out from this (Jannah), disgraced and expelled. If any of them follow thee – Hell will I fill with you all.” (7: 16–18) There is is no other end for this camp, so take Heed the Mizan (scales) with Allah is an eye for an eye and nothing less.

“And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution”(5:45). Practicing the occult for the sake of business will never be accepted, if you destroy someones life the destruction of your Akhira and life is it’s retribution as punishment.

But before that even happens in the next life, in this world you have automatically forfeited your life because the Prophet (saws) commanded: “Kill every sorcerer (Sahir), for this is the punishment ordained by Allah”, those who practice the occult or have it practiced for them, their Islam will never be accepted by Allah, this is why the prophet (saws) described the camp of Hypocrites as the camp of Kufr with no religion. So don’t stay with them, if death comes to you in that state, while your with them this is the decree of Allah upon you, you are one of them. The Messenger of Allah said, “He is not of us the one who practices sorcery, or the one for whom sorcery is done.” (At-Tabaraanee)

This is the sorting of the pure religious people from the scrap degenerate people around them, so don’t be with the degenerates if you want an afterlife, don’t wish it for your children hoping it will make life easier because it will only get worse year after year until it ends with the coming out of the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon Him) who will take control of this group and your children, not a day sooner than this.

The prophet (saws) said, “Perform all good deeds before the era of evil dawns (the Duhaima, which is the biggest Fitna we will face that will stop people from even performing good deeds, like salat and sawm), the darkness of which will increase in waves. The effects of these evils will be so grave that a person will be a Mu’min (believer) in the morning and a Kaafir (non believer by) night, or a Mu’min at night and a Kaafir (by) the morning. A person will sell his Deen (religion) in lieu of a paltry sum” (Muslim) religion will be sold for the sake of ease and safety in this world, but Allah won’t accept this from anyone.

The Prophet (saws) said regarding the Fitna of the Duhaima, September the 11th, which began the sorting of people “It will last for twelve years, then it will end”, America stopped their wars 12 years after they invaded Afghanistan.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said about This fitnah’s ramifications: “The fourth Fitna (ad Duhaima) is 18 years, then it clears (America’s political effects because of it will end after 18 years). Once it clears, the Euphrates (river) will recede revealing a mountain of gold that the Umma (Muslim nation) will fight for it (more troubles and wars will occur right after these ones). Seven out of every nine (people fighting for it) will be killed.” (Nuaim ibn Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)

America’s influence through the fitnah will end after 18 years, but it will continue to split the world into two camps until the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him) emerges, because it has shaped people’s minds around the world and set it on a path it can’t get out of.

It gave the world tunnel vision or a myopic world view people can’t see past, 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).

This myopic world view is the Lizards Hole the west crawled into during the past 100 years and can’t get itself out of, this is the lizards hole the Arabs and muslims followed them into.

Save your self and leave them for the people of religion before your end arrives, otherwise your fate will be sealed with them.

The History Of The Salafi’s: The Group Charged With Destroying The Ummah From Within

4054c17c628acb03155387ce3012cc8fIntroduction

It is commonly accepted today that the west and world goverments are rulled by secrative occult societies, the History of the Salafi sect responsible for giving us ISIS, Al Qaeda and every modern sect in the muslim world, begins with a power stuggle between Europe, Britain and the last Islamic Khalifah, the Ottomans just before WW1, it was the largest empire in the world and the last empire that stood in their way.

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).

Untill the end of the Islamic Khalifah this could never have happened, it was the power the world looked up to through out it’s history, before Napolean france Britain and Europe looked at it’s size with complete fear.

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 large portions of Arab society will come to worship the devils behind them) (Bukhari).

The lizards hole is a simile for tunnel vision, or the myopic view of the world the west and Europe adopted through it’s occult societies that came to rule it by overthrowing the Church dominated landscape, 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.

John (ra) says in revelation, “The dragon (Iblis) gave the (British) beast (empire) his power and his throne and great authority”…7 It (Britian who ended the Islamic Khalifa) was given power to wage war against Allah’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority (becouse no other empires where left) over every tribe, people, language (we all speak english today) and nation.

China, India, Africa, the Americas the list of civilizations they ended is too great to enumerate, it was a unique event that never occurred before in world history. They ended the last Islamic Khalifah which was also the last Abrahamic Empire, they then warred against all organised religions around the world to secularise the earth. The Prime Minister of England Benjamin Disraeli (d.1881) said before this accomplishment; what “they want…is an end to ecclesiastical (religious) establishments”(Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates).

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 article 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 Islamic institutions they came to control or set up that Maskh of the entire muslim population would occur, exactly 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 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 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).”

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. The Article will focus on the three figures responsible for the creation of the Salafi sect, Jamal al din al Affghani, Muhammad Abdu and Rashid Rida. The historical information is all available in the public domain, the section on Jamal al din al Afghani is corroborated and sourced with a research paper by the University of Wisconsin entitled “Afghani and Freemasonry in Egypt”.

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 19th century which was entirely aimed at ridding the muslim world of it’s heritage by making it adopt the western lifestyle he practiced and the west needed muslims to adopt, all along with 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 (shia) 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 created through mans actions, in essence everything in life had value because “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”.

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.

Ali Pasha (d.1871) brought him to Istanbul and assigned him duties, Hasan Tahsin, the rector of the university of Istanbul was a Mason educated in Paris by the grand vizer of the Ottomans, Reshid Pasha who was similarly a Mason and known best as the chief architect behind the Tanzimat reforms of the Ottoman government (He was declared a disbeliever by Shaykh Hasan Fahmi Effendi), they 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 110th 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 very quickly were ever he went in order 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. “Woe to you! Forge not ye a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you utterly by chastisement: the forger must suffer frustration!” (20:61) this was the life of Afghani exiled from one country to another and dying in a foreign land.

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, Templars through out history had a close relationship with them often using them for political aims.

Afghani was one of the teachers of Helena Blavatsky a 19th 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 al 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.

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 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).

“People worshiped the dragon (Iblis) because he had given authority (the occult) to the beast (British)” (the book of revelations).

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 Egyptian peoples 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.

His methods for converting people was to loudly proclaim he was a Salafi only teaching the purest of pure islam, by omission everyone else wasn’t. 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 and we can see his methods were very effective in converting people in a short span of time.

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, 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 20th 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, he 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 and 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 had not 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, under a Khalifah this was state law, so imagine a person asking people in England to begin inventing their own laws for government and then living by them, the result of this in the wider society served nothing but his greater aims of anarchy to serve the British Empire that employed him and his teachers.

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.

Rashid 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 stripped of resources. They did this to the America’s, Africa and India just to surpass the Ottomans who’s expansionist nature terrified them prior to 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 law.

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 these conclusions by themselves, then that idea would have a longer lasting effect in society.

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, their 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.

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).
This was a normal day at work in British politics and espionage against a larger and superior Ottoman Khalifah, divide a larger enemy in order to conquer it.

These three figures were tasked with creating and spreading 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 colonized by the British Empire at a later time.

In fact British borders saw their greatest expansion immediately after the successful colonisation of Ottoman lands, making a small island the worlds leading superpower.

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 which would succeed them (see the links at the end of the article for a greater explanation of the book of revelations). They are against these institutions because traditional religion is the only thing that can challenge their occult practices destroying it’s effects entirely, which they use to manipulate people and affairs, pharaoh used it to control his people and Allah sent Him Moses (as) to challenge him, hence it shouldn’t be a surprise they are fond of Egyptian occult symbols, if pharaoh’s occult power was not real and effective Musa (as) would not have had to challenge him in this very sphere to destroy it in peoples minds.

Secularism and Atheism by contrast to religion places you deeper under occult influence so it shouldn’t be amazing to hear this considering that most modern societies are ruled by occult societies, people that believe in something, the double standard is deliberate, people won’t fight what they don’t believe in, but the Quran teaches us this exists through the many accounts of Musa (as) and Sulayman (as) who dealt with it on a national level before us.

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)

Nationalism Is Created In Egypt

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 events here are entirely from this work. 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 states 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 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 such as Afghani’s personal accounts.

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 in the country, 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 Islam, the prophet (saws) explicitly stating that 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 Governments.

“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, what it was raised on.

Afghani liberated peoples minds from “this reality”, and attached it to his temporary goals through slogans and short sighted idealism that ultimately just 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…despite the fact Islam had already established these things 1400 years earlier, if you begin your attack with an accusation the response is automatically defensive, 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. Afghani grew increasingly critical of Ismail’s policies (the leader of egypt) 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 (Isma’il’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 indicating a political shift he wanted to take advantage of. Moreover, he was a member of the Nile lodge at least as late as August, 1878, “as its model”, this lodge “follows the

[National] Grand Lodge of England in its customs, laws and ritual.”

Several accounts report that following his withdrawal from the English Masons, Afghani formed “a national lodge” (mafyfalan wataniyyan) affiliated with the French Grand Orient, although after his exile from Egypt, and while in France, his affiliations would change back, visiting England and accepting assignments from them. Within a short time this lodge boasted a membership of more than three hundred. Besides Afghani’s usual followers, it attracted a number of journalists, intellectuals, notables, ‘ulama’ (scholars), members of the Assembly and some army officers.

The members were divided into several committees to serve as liaisons with government departments. One was entrusted with the War Minister, others were assigned to the Ministers of Justice, Finance, Public Works, etc.

It was through this association remarks Rashid Rida, that ‘Abduh was able to establish contact with Tawfiq Pasha and other leaders of Egypt. Tawfiq’s association with Afghani can be traced to this period. He joined the lodge headed by Afghani, and at his inauguration as Khedive leader of Egypt on 27 June, 1879, a delegation of Masons from this lodge went to congratulate him. Also, when he died in 1892, another delegation was present at the funeral ceremonies.

On his part, Tawfiq professed liberalism and promised constitutional reforms upon his accession to the Khedivate. Whether he was privy to any plot to remove his father by force can only be conjectured, but certainly Afghani was thinking in these terms. ‘Abduh relates that in the spring of 1879 Afghani and many notables asked the then Chief Minister Sharif Pasha to “convince Isma’il of the need to abdicate” but Isma’il refused. Later Afghani led a delegation of Egyptians to see the newly arrived French Consul-General, Tricou, and told him that “there is in Egypt a national party which wants reform…and that this reform cannot be carried out except at the hands of the heir-apparent Tawfiq Pasha.”

In this we see, the now french masons, making efforts to place in power a ruler in Egypt loyal to them, it would not be long after the struggle between these groups that the English Empire would come to colonize Egypt outright.

There was much private talk in that spring among a group of Azhari reformers influenced by Afghani as to how Isma’il could be deposed; they even considered assassination, much as did the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood years later, assassinating one Egyptian president and attempting to kill another.

In ‘Abduh’s words, Afghani proposed that Isma’il should be assassinated as he passed in his carriage daily over the Kasr el Nil bridge, and I strongly approved, but it was only talk between ourselves, and we lacked a person capable of taking a lead in the affair.

Afghani, a Times correspondent observed, had “almost obtained the weight of a Median law among the lower and less educated classes” meaning his rule, even the king was powerless to change, the lower classes would come to form the Salafi movement and eventually the Muslim Brotherhood.

It was during these turbulent times that the national movement began to emerge. In April, 1879 the existence of the Patriotic (Party) Society (al-Hizb al-Watani) became publicly known.

When Tawfiq replaced his father as Khedive in June, 1879 Afghani was no longer his main teacher, he would come into contact with less corrupt Muslims working in the government.

Afghani and the nationalists still believed that the long-awaited reforms (needed to establish foreign rule) could at last be instituted, for such had been the impression given by Tawfiq before his accession. He continued to give the same impression during the first few weeks of his reign. For example, the delegation of Masons sent to congratulate him upon his accession was assured of his intention to implement reforms. Sharif Pasha, who had been serving as Chief Minister since April, stayed in office holding the same notion. Afghani, too, remained on good terms. But the honeymoon did not last long. Afghani, Sharif and the various nationalist groups were applying pressure on Tawfiq for immediate reforms.

Sharif submitted a plan for a constitution that would have created a strong representative assembly (of people representing them) and ministerial responsibility, but at the expense of the Khedive’s powers (the idea was to take power away from Egyptians and put them in the hands of the minority elite allied to them), Tawfiq’s foreign consuls advised him otherwise, replacing Sharif with Riyad.

Supported by Sherif Pasha, he [Afghani] for some time deemed it expedient to conceal his more pronounced views, but on the fall of the late Ministry [of Sharif] he seems to have lent himself more openly to a propaganda against the introduction of the European element in any form into the administration of the country, possibly demonstrating the point he turned back to British Masonry.

Afghani now disillusioned not knowing who his allies were, a French journalist gives the following eyewitness account: One evening in the Hasan mosque in Cairo, before an audience of four thousand people, he [Afghani] gave a powerful speech in which he (duplicitly) denounced with a deep prophetic sense, three years before the event, the ultimate purpose of British policy on the banks of the Nile. He also showed at the same time the Khedive Taufiq as compelled to serve—consciously or not— British ambitions, and ended his speech by a war-cry against the foreigner and by a call for a revolution to save the independence of Egypt and establish liberty (i.e for people to utilise his methods as the blind rushed to him, which would have achieved this very thing they feared).

It would not be long after this that the British Empire would have the pretext it needed to colonize Egypt and control the Suez Canal along with all traffic through it, Two World Wars would later prove how vital this area is.

At the same time, Afghani was implicated in a plot attributed to the Masonic followers of ‘Abd al-Halim, the son of Muhamad Ali the former ruler of Egypt, aimed at replacing Tawfiq with Halim. In letters written in 1883, Afghani (sneakingly) complained that it was the officer ‘Uthman Pasha (the Police Chief of Cairo) who had spread these “malicious” rumors and told Tawfiq that Afghani planned to kill him in concert with the Masons.

To Riyad Pasha he wrote: “A group of foreign Masons and their followers… who were under the leadership of ‘Abd al-Halim when he was president of the Masonic Order in Cairo, tried to work for Halim’s succession and I, out of my love for the Khedive Tawfiq, left them.”

On the 24 August, 1879, Afghani was seized by the police, whisked away to Suez, and was put on a ship bound for India. A few days later the official gazette, al-Waqa’i’ al-Misriyya, published the government’s statement, and new independent stance, charging Afghani with leading a secret society based on violence, and aimed at corrupting religion and the world” echoing the words of the British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli (d.1881).

History

“In 1854 and 1856, Ferdinand de Lesseps obtained concessions from Saaid 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 Saaid 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 the 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 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 (salafi’s) 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 19th 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 results in 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 muslim 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 consistently depicted this very fact until people complained that it was drawing christians to islamic lands.

When Salafi’s say Islam is peace they are deliberately teaching pacifism, in times of turmoil this means lay down and don’t resist, every salafi definition or explanation of Islam will only lead a person to pacifism or extremism, this is fattening an animal for slaughter, because people are trapped in a psychology that makes it difficult to stand up for yourself, justice or recognise when you are being attacked, these are the two paths they put people on to take advantage of them, it all depends on what they find people.

The muslim brotherhood employed masonic tactics to great effect, in this regard they where responsible for the 1948 assassination of the prime minister of Egypt Mahmoud Pasha for which al Banna was killed, both the assassination and the group behind it the prophet (saws) mentioned in Ahadith as a sign of the hour. The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “The Hour will not begin until you kill your ruler and fight one another with swords (weapons), and your world is inherited by the worst of you.” (Ibn Maaja) the last part of the hadith gives it’s timing, the muslim world after the Khalifa was inherited by the worst of people, the salafi muslim brotherhood who He (saws) named the worst people under the sky multiple times, after their assassination of Mahmoud Pasha they spread around the entire world establishing the networks and groups we see dominating everything Islamic today.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said about the salafi’s, al Qaeda and ISIS: “Whoever defects from obedience and separates from the main body of the Muslim – and dies in that state – dies the death of one belonging to the days of jahiliyya (ignorance before islam). And he who is killed under the banner of a man who is blind (has a false cause and ideology), who gets flared up with family pride and fights for his tribe (fights for nationalism) is not from my Ummah, and whosoever from my followers (these people, the Salafi’s) attacks my followers killing (indiscriminately) the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch in faith and fulfilling not his obligation towards them who have been given a pledge (of security, the non muslims), is not from me” (even if he professes Islam). (Muslim)

After the 1952 Egyptian coup supported by the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood, who were trained by prominent leaders of the Nazi party now exiled to Egypt after WW2, in 1961 the Egyptian president Gamel Abdul Nasser violently abolished Masonry in Egypt, and in 1964 it’s last Temple was shut down by the Ministry of Social Affairs, the reason given was that “Associations with undeclared agendas were incompatible with rules covering non profit organizations.”

By this time world dominance was switching from the British Empire to the U.S which rescued it after a near death blow by Hitler in WW2, along with all of it’s old allies including the Salafi’s who were by now switching allegiances. Today they are used by the west for separatist and military activities and to strong arm groups, organisations and individuals. They are the wests go to group doing all the dirty work to pave the way for them and their society in a country, including the destruction of holy sites, best seen in Iraq and Syria today.

In 1966 Sayyid Qutb, now the Muslim brotherhoods main figure was accused of an assassination plot against the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and consequently was executed by Hanging.

Since then by 2015 the Salafi’s and Muslim Brotherhood have spawned every extremist and fringe group found in Islamic lands to date, from Hizb al Tahrir to Al Qaeda and ISIS, like their predecessors they have all been widely charged in the Islamic world with working for western governments and hence now their motives and history become clear, all of these groups are heavily influenced by the teachings and methods of these heretical figures of the 19th century following in their footsteps working for the same powers that created them.

After the Muslim brotherhood was banned in Egypt, they fled around the world and were taken in by western societies who largely use them to further their aims within Islamic communities.

These extremists were allowed to establish in western societies the major Islamic institutions and Mosques which now dominate the Muslim landscape. Two such clear and obvious groups created by the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood are ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America, now the largest Islamic group in the U.S and the MSA, Muslim Students Association found in nearly every western University on earth, all of which are dominated by Salafi’s, a heretical group that is less than 1% of the world Muslim population yet dominates those who represent 99% of Sunni Islam in these lands.

With a free reign to control the muslim intellectual landscape in these countries they use these institutions to recruit the next generations of extremists and occultists. We shouldn’t be shocked regarding their position over Orthodox Muslims living abroad since it is all very deliberate, what is required of us is simply understanding of who we are dealing with and why they are receiving support.

Offshoots of the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood appeared around the world under different names through out history, in 1941 Abul Ala Maududi founded one offshoot called the Jamaati Islami in India and has since spread to Pakistan. In 1927 Muhammad Illyass al Kandhlawi created the Tablighi Jamat present in India and Bangladesh, it to was a Salafi offshoot from the salafi influenced, Hanafi Deobandi movement created in 1867. Another group dominant in the region was Nadwatul Ulama which was intended to be a modified version of the Deobandi school, the foundation stone was laid by John Briscott Hewitt, Governor of India in 1906.

In Algeria in the early 1990s, the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood formed the Movement for the Society of Peace [MSP], previously known as Hamas. In Bahrain the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood is represented by Al Eslah [Islah] Society and its political wing, the Al-Menbar Islamic Society, in 2002 Al Menbar became the joint largest party.

The Iraqi Islamic Party was formed in 1960 as the Iraqi branch of the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood. The Kurdistan Islamic Union [KIU] holds seats in the Kurdish parliament. In Jordan Hammam Saeed is head of the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood.

In Syria the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood was crushed by Hafez al Assad in 1982, they have now returned in the form of Al Qaeda and ISIS.

In Saudi Arabia the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood has been tolerated by the Saudi government, and maintains a presence in the country. Though Saudi officials have denounced the Muslim Brotherhood, saying it is guilty of “betrayal of pledges and ingratitude” and is “the source of all problems in the Islamic world”.

“In Somalia the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood is known as Harakat Al-Islah or “the Reform Movement”. The leaders of Harakat Al-Islah played a key role in the educational network establishing Mogadishu University. Through their network, they’ve educated more than 120,000 students in the city of Mogadishu.”

In Sudan, since the salafi inspired Mahdi sect was created, “it was the one country were the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood was most successful in gaining power, its members making up a large part of the government officialdom following the 1989 coup d’état by General Omar Hassan al-Bashir.”

“In Palestine, following the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007, it was the first time since the above mentioned Sudanese coup of 1989, that a “Muslim Brotherhood group” ruled a significant geographic region and territory.”

“Libya was one of the first countries outside Egypt to have a Muslim Brotherhood group. In the late 1940s when the Egyptian members were being prosecuted, King Idris I of Libya offered the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood refuge and the freedom to spread their ideology. In 1955, the University of Libya was established in Benghazi, near the Egyptian border, and it drew many Egyptian teachers and lecturers including Muslim Brotherhood members. Not long after coming to power, Col. Gaddafi regarded the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood as a potential source of opposition. He arrested many Egyptian members and expelled them back to Egypt.” Before the Arab spring began America publicly pledged $1 billion in aid to the Salafi’s to topple Gaddafi, much of that aid is now being used by Al Qaeda and ISIS to fight muslims in their homelands around the world including Syria.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said about the Salafi Brotherhood trying to establish it’s rule throughout the muslim world, “O Ka’ab ibn Ujrah, may Allah give us refuge from the rulings of al Sufaha (literally those who brainwash). The prophet was asked “O messenger of Allah what is the rulings of al Sufaha? He (saws) said “Rulers (those placed in charge) who will be after me. They do not follow my guidance, and they do not implement my sunnah. The one who follows their lies, and helps them in their oppression, he is not from me, and I am not from him, and he will not enter my Hawd (paradise). And the one who did not believe their lies, and did not help them in their oppression, he is from me, and I am from him, and he will enter my Hawd. (Sahih Ibn Hibban, al Mustadrak and al Hakim)

The Salafi Muslim Brotherhood are the Khawarij (those who rebel) in our time, they are ‘al Sufaha’ and their leaders are part of the Ruwaybidyh (the corruptors of society) mentioned by the prophet (saws), there is no doubt about this in the minds of Islam’s scholars, there is no other group responsible for all the modern sects in the muslim world, while at the same time they duplicity call for an end to all other sects, a tactic Rashid Rida and Muhammad Abduh taught them and used.

They are mentioned in over 50 Ahadith by the prophet (saws), from the Hadith about the assassination of the Egyptian President, to the Fox’s now in Syria, ISIS, to the Ahadith about the false callers to Jihad, to the Ahadith about the Ruwaybidah, to the Ahadith about ridding your self of weapons to avoid their false Jihad and becoming a suicide bomber, to the countless Ahadith describing the Khawarij (those who rebel) at the end of time. The Prophet (saws) said they will look like us and talk like us and ‘if you go to them they will throw you into Hell’.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, ‘At the end of time there shall appear a folk (so recognize them), young in age and brainwashed (Sufaha al Ahlam). They will speak the words of the best of people (just to mislead others), but their faith will not pass their throats (their faith is fake, just for show). They shall pass through Islam just as an arrow passes through a hunted game (they are brainwashed into entering the movement and brainwash others when they become evil). Kill them wherever you find them, for the one who kills them will be rewarded on the Day of Resurrection’. (Bukhari and Muslim)

The prophet (saws) said “Shaytan is a wolf like the wolf that preys on sheep, taking the isolated and the stray among them; therefore, avoid factionalism and keep to the congregation and the collective and the masjid.”, “Allah’s hand is over the group, and whoever dissents from them departs to hell.”, “Allah’s hand is over the group, follow the largest group, for verily whoever dissents from them (and joins their sects) departs to hell”.

Amr ibn Waabisah related from his father from Ibn Mas’ood who said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah say (and he mentioned part of Abu Bakrah’s Hadeeth, “let him betake himself to his sword, crush its blade with a rock”) “All of those killed in it (the fitna) are in the Hellfire.” Waabisah asked, “And when is that, O Ibn Mas’ood?” He said, “Those are the days of much killing, when a man will not be safe from the companion he sits with.” (The Salafi’s who pretend they are your muslim Brothers and Sisters) Waabisah said, “And what do you order me to do if I reach that time?” He said, “Restrain your tongue and your hand (don’t get involved in their fake discussions), and be a fixture from the fixtures of your house.”(Abu Dawwud)

The prophet (saws) preferred that a person choose death itself rather than get involved with them, he (saws) said, “Break your bows, cut their strings, and strike your swords against stones. If someone comes to kill any of you, then be like the better of the two sons of Adam” (who was killed at the hands of his brother). (Abu Dawud)

Allah’s Messenger (saws) said, “The Hour will not be established (1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine (in another translation – “each having the same claim”), (2) till about thirty Dajjaal’s (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah’s Messenger (saws), (3) till religious knowledge is taken away” (Bukhari).

The Timing of this Hadith is after WW1, while al Afghani and Abduh were certainly one of the Nayifan, liars in society and this was entirely how they lived their lives, traveling from one Islamic country to another creating sects and occult groups, it was their students after WW1, a time when there was no Khalifah, who were the ones to succeed in bringing in a new way of life to the Muslim Ummah. It is then certain that Rashid Rida, Hasan al Banna and Sayyid Qutb were each one of these Dajjaal’s (Allah’s curse be upon them) in the muslim Ummah. Sayyid Qutb for example in many of his writings tried to liken Islam to the Nazi communism his sect aligned itself with, and just as the prophet (saws) said religious knowledge was taken away because of them and the other Dajjal’s that appeared in the muslim world during this time.

The prophet (saws) said after Allah takes knowledge from the Ummah “All that remains will be an ignorant body of people. The people will ask them (the scholars of this time) about religious needs, and they will issue fatwas (legal rulings) in light of their own ideas and desires and will both deviate themselves and lead others into deviation.” (Bukhari)

The prophet (saws) told us when we would see the evils of the salafi Muslim brotherhood in detail, He (saws) said “Such a time will befall my community that rulers will be oppressive (the era of dictators that is now lifting from the muslim world began after WW1) and scholars will be avaricious (having an extreme greed for wealth) and without fear of Allah (this state resulted because of the Slalfi muslim brotherhood that spread around the world corrupting scholars and replacing the Imam of every masjid with their own liars), those who worship will be hypocritical, traders will seek to earn interest (this began when western banks moved in and they attempted to legalise riba in the muslim world) and they will only hide their disgraces in business (this is something unique to our modern world because it is the only thing that can end a company today, publicizing it’s fraudulent practices, otherwise everything else in society is accepted). Their women will be caught up in baubles of this world (love for trinkets and show). Evils will plague them at that time (the evil of this world did not spread like a plague before our time, it’s a plague when it is widely practiced and you can’t find a place free from it). The good will pray and they will not be heeded” (no one will listen to sound advice) (Bihar al Anwar, which is a shia work).

The prophet (saws) directly referring to the Salafi’s (saws) said, “there will appear in the latter times a people who will gain this world with the help of religion (meaning by using and selling their religion)” (Tirmidhi)

Allah’s messenger (saws) said. “In the end times men will come forth who will fraudulently use religion for worldly ends and wear sheepskins (cloths made from wool etc.) in public to display meekness. Their tongues will be sweeter than sugar, but their hearts will be the hearts of wolves (vicious animals).”(Tirmidhi)

This is the history of the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood throughout all islamic countries, nearly every sectarian group was started by them, and nearly every extremists has come from them.

This is the culmination to what the salafi muslim brotherhood are aiming at they want to destroy the presence of religion, to this aim they are destroying Islamic heritage sites, tombs and digging up the bodies of the companions, saints and holy people, when this is accomplished around the world by the salafi’s for their western masters muslims won’t have any place that is theirs.

Allah revealed the following verses about them in surah al Baqarah; (7) And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day, when they believe not. (8) They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not. (9) In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increaseth their disease. A painful doom is theirs because they lie. (10) And when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they say: We are peacemakers only.

(11) Are not they indeed the mischief-makers ? But they perceive not. (12) And when it is said unto them: believe as the people believe, they say: Shall we believe as the foolish believe? Beware! They indeed are the foolish? But they know not. (13) And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe; but when they go apart to their devils they declare: Lo! we are with you; verily we did but mock. (14) Allah (Himself) doth mock them, leaving them to wander blindly on in their contumacy. (15) These are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, so their commerce doth not prosper, neither are they guided. (16)

(17) Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire, but when it had illumined all around him (when they relied on the light of that fire), Allah took away their (inner) light, and left them in utter darkness– they do not see (in other words these fake muslims relied on a light other than Allah’s, the occult light of the Kufar, so Allah took their inner light, Iman, and they didn’t even notice because they felt secure they had light). (18) Deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they will not turn back.

(19) Or like abundant rain from the (heavy) cloud in which is utter darkness and thunder and lightning; they put their fingers into their ears because of the thunder peal, for fear of death (that they get struck), and (all the while) Allah encompasses the unbelievers (with what they fear). (20) The lightning almost takes away their sight (their fear makes them blind); whenever it shines on them they walk in it (thinking it is the light of guidance), and when it becomes dark (actually safe) to them they stand still (instead); and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have taken away their (inner) hearing and their sight (completely not just during these times); surely Allah has power over all things (they go head long into danger and can’t recognise safety because of their self delusions, their world is backwards they see wrong as right and right as wrong).

The prophet (saws) said referring to the scholars of these heretical sects; “Seventy thousand scholars wearing turbans from my community will follow the Dajjaal” (Ahmad ibn Hanbal), because of such a large number that isn’t just the Salafi scholars but the scholars of their offshoots around the world as well.

“And Pharaoh commanded: ‘Bring before me every learned sorcerer. (occultist)’” (10:79)

Invoking and Receiving Baraka; How It Works

Shrine Of John the Baptist (Yahya) (q)

Invoking, How It Works; The word invoke has other meanings than to pray to, americans for example invoke their 5th amendment rights…..In our time of science, the science behind our deen can be explained and the difference between right and wrong that our scholars understood long ago can be made crystal clear to the rest of us. Our universe runs on laws Allah placed in it, this includes the unseen parts of it, ghayb, there is one law in science that explains how distant things connect with each spiritually, it is called quantum entanglement and our body uses it all the time [the science behind it is better explained in the books we have written, found at my website, here we are just summing up].

The idea of Invoking something, meaning connecting to it spiritually is the foundation of our religion, because the first verse Allah revealed in the Quran was for the Prophet (saws) to Invoke Allah while he was reading the spiritual signs so Allah could empower Him to understand them.

Gabriel asked the prophet to Iqra, read, Iqra in the name of your Lord who createth. In the name of is an invocation that connects us spiritually with a specific quality of Allah, in this verse two qualities Rabb and Creator.

How we are connected is a matter of science because at some point the body has to be doing something to connect itself and another thing so our heart and mind perceive, there is no alternative to this, religion isn’t magic.

Allah in the Quran often invokes things other than Him so we connect ourself to them while we are reading the Quran;

“Nuun By the pen And by the (record) Which (they) write.” 68:1

The words “By the” are an invocation for our benefit, Allah does this in the form of an Oath we recite after Him, but the act is an invocation by us. Imam al Ghazali explained in His work Mishqat al Anwar, that the Quran is a sun for the mind, it directs the self and connects it spiritually with the things Allah created in the seen and unseen universe (ghayb) as we read it.

In this respect Imam Ali (ra) explained “the vision of the eye is limited, (but) the vision of the heart transcends all barriers of time and space”, so the act of invoking connects a person spiritually to what ever they invoke regardless of whether it is in the physical world or in ghayb (the unseen).

Allah does this many times for us in the Quran;

In one Surah alone he does this more than 10 times asking us to invoke these things we are reciting so we can learn from them;

“BY the sun and its radiant brightness, By the moon as it reflects the sun!, BY the day as it reveals the (sun to the) world, By the night as it veils it darkly!, BY the sky and its wondrous make, By the earth and all its expanse! BY the Soul and how it is formed in accordance with what it is meant to be, And inspired it with what is wrong for it and right for it. To a happy state shall indeed attain he who causes this [self] to grow in purity, and truly lost is he who buries it [in darkness].”(al Shams, 91)

Elsewhere in the Quran He asks us to invoke not just created objects but ideas and thoughts so we benefit from them, He often asks us to do this when He begins a verse with the words “Say”, in other words invoke this idea so you benefit from it;

“Say: Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know?” 39:9

“Say, Journey in the land, and behold how He originated creation,.” 29:20

Allah also uses the words “and remember” to ask us to invoke things;

“And remember Abraham and Isma’il raised the foundations of the House (with this prayer): Our Lord accept (this service) from us, for you are the All-Hearing, the All-knowing.” 2:127

The act of reading these verses invokes the things being mentioned so we connect to them spiritually, this is the understanding of the great scholars of Islam, this is the science behind how the Quran benefits man spiritually, if we didn’t connect with these things on a spiritual level then there can be no benefit (baraka) in the Quran, to this end Allah explains that the Quran was sent down for this very purpose;

“And We send down with the Qur’an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.”(17:82)

This verse tells us a number of things about how this works, the words send down means we are given things from the spiritual world when we recite the Quran, things that heal us spiritually and psychologically and are a mercy, meaning things that protect us from harm in life. The other thing it tells us is that when the wrong doers read the Quran it increases them in loss, this is because through the wrong they do they build themselves up in the world on the back of haram, but the Quran takes them in the opposite direction towards good, so they loose the evil spiritual strength they had as they recite it.

It’s considered a loss for them because they deliberately persist in Haram for the sake of being strong and when they see good they ignore it, so it doesn’t benefit them anything except the loss of their strength, power and influence.

This is the act of invoking in the Quran, but people can invoke anything to connect to it spiritually, it is a fundamental law in the universe that people can use for wrong or for good. For example people who practice sihr invoke evil things to increase the effectiveness of their sihr, if the act of invoking didn’t connect you spiritually to what is being invoked then sihr would not work, but Allah mentions it clearly in the Quran, the evil eye also works by connecting to people or things spiritually with a gaze that has a bad intention behind it.

Muslims understood this law in the universe and discovered ways to use it to benefit people and society. Invoking the names of prophet of saintly men while pleading to Allah means to connect spiritually with the souls of these prophets and Awliyah, the science behind it then brings it’s Baraka into your life. All souls are given their place in the Akhira right after death, the place is a Maqam (station or rank) of baraka Allah granted them in the universe, this is the same for all people, but the Maqam of the Prophets has the most Baraka attached to it, this is Allah’s gift to them. The prophet (saws) Allah gave him the Maqam of writing His (saws) name on the Arsh (throne), the Arsh is what supports the entire universe and Allows man to know Allah, so the soul of the prophet has this benefit with it when it is invoked in the Quran, so man can know Allah when they invoke his (saws) name, a tremendous rank.

This is the essence behind invoking the names of those near to Allah, whether they hear you or not is not relevant and is entirely up to Allah and His Angels who choose to convey your words. But the science behind invoking works regardless, just like gravity doesn’t discriminate about who and what it affects on earth.

The Destruction Of Knowledge In Islam

QulX4Today we are plagued with fake fatwas by fake scholars and fake individuals on Q&A sites pretending to be knowledgable people hiding behind a mirage of authority because their organisation knows how to fake looking respectable and scholarly. Most of the time the absurd rulings which are never not adequately researched happens to be a woman with a fake profile picture on Facebook, suddenly she has a massive fan club of thousands that can’t even read the arabic alphabet who then begin defending her heresy. This is all deliberately done to manipulate trends and public opinion in the islamic world so they can sway and manoeuvre entire populations away from orthodox Islam, the prophet (saws) gave one piece of advice over and over again for the people of our time to combat this deliberate fitnah being staged by our own people against us;

He (saws) said repeatedly “You have to follow the congregation for verily Allah will not make the largest group of Muhammad’s community agree on error”… “Shaytan is a wolf like the wolf that preys on sheep, taking the isolated and the stray among them; therefore, avoid factionalism and keep to the congregation and the collective and the masjid”…“Allah’s hand is over the group, and whoever dissents from them departs to hell”…“Allah’s hand is over the group, follow the largest group, for verily whoever dissents from them departs to hell”.

The main body of muslims follow the same orthodox madhhabs that have been around from day one, in terms of islamic population, of 1.5 billion muslims Sufi’s make up over 55% of the Muslim Ummah, Salafi’s are not even 1%, of the sunni’s Hanafi’s are about 45% of the Muslim Umma, Shafii’s are about 33%, Maliki’s about 19% and Hanbali’s about 3% which is about the same number of people in the Arabian peninsula who are the smallest Islamic demographic.

Anas bin Maalik (ra) narrates that Rasulullah (saws) said: “Indeed, the example of the ‘Ulama (real scholar) is like that of stars in the sky, by which guidance is obtained in the darkness of the land and water…” (Musnad Ahmad)

The prophet (saws) said, “The virtue of a Alim (real scholar) to a worshipper (Aabid) is similar to the virtue of the moon when  it is full to the rest of the stars. And verily the Ulema are the inheritors of the Prophets. Verily the Prophets did not leave behind dirhams and deenars (money), but rather they left behind knowledge.” (Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah).

Abu Huraira reported the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The wise saying is the lost property of the believer, so wherever he finds it then he has a right to it.” (At-Tirmidhi)

Proper Islamic knowledge has been deliberately undermined for the past 100 years, everything that can be done is being done to corrupt it or alternately peoples understanding of it by public figures in the islamic world most would call scholars or respectable people, in a world that is heavily controlled by governments subservient to one super power no one is given an accidental podium, these people don’t speak out against islam, that is public suicide what they do is careful move you away from the real message so true islam will seem strange to people when they hear it. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Islam began as a something strange and it will return to being strange, so blessed are the strangers.” (Those who know Islam) (Muslim) real Islam is the one that teaches you how to struggle against the world and your nafs, it is the one that has the ability to change you, if you have been listening to a scholar for 10 years and never learned the steps of how to change your life in the world you live in all you have been doing is being fed a bunch of facts, true or not a list of facts don’t do anything and this is deception the prophet (saws) said would be occurring, duplicit scholars making certain people don’t know how to act so everything in islamic society becomes superficial and fake.

When a scholar teaches you a path you need take in life and how to take it step by step that is complete Islam, anything less than that is a scholar for hire.

It may be a shock to know but nearly all modern publications of the Sahih Sita, Bukhari, Muslim, Dawuud, Tirmidhi etc, contain errors or are missing ahadith found in the original hand written manuscripts, this is the sad sate of islamic publications, in some cases the number of missing ahadith runs into the hundreds and in the case of the Musnad of Imam Ahmad it was found that in all published editions nearly 100 ahadith where missing that existed in the original manuscripts. This deliberate tampering of classical text is discovered almost every year in a published islamic text, the list of books is very long and it begins with false translations of the Quran to promote a sects ideology, selective “translations” of hadith collections, or ahadith being cut of outright. Tampering with fiqh manuals and every other kind of classical text one can imagine all deliberately done to manipulate islamic populations and create trends in religion people follow, if you don’t like fake Fiqh then for some fake spirituality will do nothing is left alone and there are fake groups for everything.

One scholar wrote about the tampering with Imam Nawawi’s Riyad al Saliheen “A team of unprincipled editors and translators out of a Ryad publishing house by the name of Darussalam was commissioned to produce a glossy 2-volume English edition of Imam al-Nawawi’s Riyad al-Salihin – being distributed for free to Islamic schools around the world – designed to propagate “Salafi” ideology to the unwary English-speaking Muslim students of Islamic knowledge. This ideology is couched within a thoroughly unscrupulous “commentary” inserted into the book chapters and authored by an unknown or spurious “Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf of Pakistan,” “revised and edited by Mahmud Rida Murad” (1:7).” The fact is Imam Nawawi was Shafii in Fiqh, the new commentators took this book of the shafii madhhab and inserted their sects legal rulings through out it in disguise as commentary then passed it of as the famous Imams own work, they also relabelled many of it’s chapter headings because the titles went against their sects beliefs, these practices are now widespread and largely unnoticed by the uneducated public.

The people behind this are not dumb this effort is very deliberate and done by people who know exactly what they are doing and how to manipulate crowds. The prophet (saws) referring to the end of the Khalifah said “My community will be destroyed because of evil scholars and ignorant servants” (Darimi), the founder of the salafi sect also helped establish the Young turks who took over the khalifa….The Prophet (saws) said about the fake scholars and their servants “such a time will come when the scholars will be an element of Mischief” (Abu Nuaim). And “There will appear in latter times a people who will gain this world with the help of religion.” (Tirmidhi)

Allah’s Messenger (saws) said, “In the End Times men will come forth who will fraudulently use religion for worldly ends and wear sheepskins in public to display meekness. Their tongues will be sweeter than sugar, but their hearts will be the hearts of wolves.” (Tirmidhi)

The prophet (saws) said about our time “In the End Times of the community of the faithful, people who adorn the mosques but leave their own hearts in ruins, who fail to look after their religion as much as they do their clothes, who forsake their religious obligations for the sake of their activities in this world, will increase in number.” (Agreed upon)

The prophet (saws) swore by Allah himself that deception on a large scale 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 i.e stunt, delude, deceive, peoples intellects, the deliberate dumbing down of society)”.

The companions said in reference to the madness in the world today shocked people would act so dumb and blindly…“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 cause (to follow), but they will not have a (legitimate) cause.” (Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban).

The prophet (saws) said “The hour will not come until renunciation of this world (the heart of all 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 Holy prophet (saws) prophesized about the current fitna of people abandoning real Ulema and following corrupt leaders, He (saws) said “…the people will take the ignorant as leaders,  who are asked for and give Islamic legal opinions without knowledge,  misguided and misguiding.” (Sahih Bukhari)

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 which shapes peoples lives, 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 (no real education). Their scholars will be the most evil under the sky. Corruption emerged from them and will return to them.” (Al Bayhaqi).

The prophet (saws) said “There will come a time for my people when… the mosques will be full of people but they will be empty of right guidance.” (Ibn Babuya, Thawab ul-A’mal), “A time will come upon people in which they will use the Masjid as a pavilion (a meeting place for the corrupt).” (Narrated by Hasan (r.a.), “Let him who reads the Qur’an ask (his reward) from Allah. Because in the final times there will be many people who read the Qur’an and seek their reward from other people (they read for show, benefit, money or to fool and manipulate people by displaying religion in front of them).” (Tirmidhi)

The prophet (saws) said “A time will come when the hypocrites will live secretly among you (secretly trying to corrupt you), and the faithful will try to live their religion in secret among others (because they are oppressed in public and in the groups these hypocrites live in).” (Agreed upon), “There will be years of deceit, in which a truthful person will be disbelieved and a liar will be believed” (Ibn Kathir),  “The (end of) time will be years of confusion. People will believe a liar, and disbelieve one who tells the truth. People will distrust one who is trustworthy, and trust one who is treacherous.” (because they can gain from them in life) (Ahmad) “There will be an abundance of critics, tale-carriers, backbiters and taunters in society.” (Al-Muttaqi Al-Hindi, Muntakhab Kanzul Ummaal) Ibn Mas’ood said, “Those are the days…when a man will not be safe from the companion he sits with.” Waabisah said, “And what do you order me to do if I reach that time?” He said, “Restrain your tongue and your hand, and be a fixture from the fixtures of your house.” (Abu Dawwud) Don’t get involved in community affairs not even the masjids who are filled with evil scholars, stay in your home.

Anas ibn Malik said, “I shall tell you a hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (May Allah shower peace and blessings upon him), and which no-one will tell you after me. I heard him say “Among the signs of the Hour will be disappearance of knowledge and the appearance of ignorance. Adultery will be prevalent and the drinking of wine will be common…”” (Bukhari, Muslim).

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 people will no longer act on anything or have the knowledge that is only gained from experience in life.

Allah said  “The metaphor of those who were charged with the Torah but then have not upheld it, is that of a donkey carrying books…”(Surah Jumuah, verse 5)

The Prophet (saws) said that, despite the fact the Qur’an will be read, the knowledge and wisdom it contains will not be considered. “There will come a time upon the Umma when people will recite the Qur’an, but it will not go further than their throats” (Bukhari) it won’t reach their hearts because they are not sincere and the recitation is fake.

The prophet (saws) referring to scholars said “Wolves (scholars who use up people) 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)

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”

The prophet (saws) literally said people won’t be able to recognise 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 [in reality] it is against them. Their prayers will not go past their throats, and they shall exit from the religion just as an arrow exits from a hunted game. If only the army who encounters them knew what has been decreed for them upon the tongue of their Prophet, they would rely on it [if they knew it was referring to them]…they have shed inviolable blood and raided the people’s belongings. So go forth [against them] in the name of Allah”.’

All this is the work of the groups and sects that where invented during the last 150 years.

The prophet (saws) said “Seventy thousand scholars wearing turbans from my community will follow the Dajjaal” (Ahmad ibn Hanbal) these are the evil scholars in the masjid responsible for destroying the Umma of Muhammad (saws) today.

This is part of a larger hadith spanning the history of Islam, Hudhayfah said, I said: “O Messenger of Allah, will there be evil after this good?” (after the Khalifah has ended, after WW1) He said: “Yes, callers to the gates of Hell. (This is when the sects spread) Whoever answers their call, they will throw him into it.” “I said: “O Messenger of Allah! Describe them to us.” So he said: “They are from our people (arabs who are evil scholars), and they will speak our language.” “I said: “So what do you order me to do if that reaches me?” He said: “Hold fast to the Jama’ah (largest body) of the Muslims and their imam.” “I said: “And if there is no jama’ah, and no imam?” (no khalifa) He said: “Then avoid all of those groups (sects that will appear), even if you have to bite on the root of a tree (isolated from society), and death reaches you in that state.” (Bukhara)

The Maqasid (Objectives) Of Shariah: A Closer Look

a186179516e2e08e6dc4711bcc3e2ec7Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem

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 18th 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 18th 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 16th 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 16th 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 …

[However,] decisions related to the military, public trust, … appointing judges and governors, distributing spoils of war, and signing treaties … are specific to leaders.’ Thus, al-Qarafi codified a new field for ‘al-maqasid’ as the purposes/intents of the Prophet (saws) in his actions.

9.Imam Abu Ishaq Al-Shatibi (d. 790 AH/1388 CE). Imam Al-Shatibi used similar terminology to that of Imam al-Juwaini and Imam al-Ghazali. The Imam raised the question: what is the end objective of the Shari’a? Imam Al Shatibi had studied the works of earlier scholars, such as Imam al-Ghazali, who had also touched on this question. He discussed the issue at length and gave the following answer: “The rules of Shari’a, have been designed to produce benefits (masalih) and remove evils (mafasid) and these are certainly their ends and objectives.” And “the masalih are those which promote the preservation and fulfillment of human life, and the realization of all that human nature and rationale demands, until one is happy in every respect.”

He developed a model of Shari’a consisting of three concentric circles. The innermost circle deals with the essential laws in relation to the five basic interests (of life). The second circle covers those laws and practices that are not directly related to these essential laws, but are incorporated into Shari’a due to public convenience. The third, outermost circle consists of laws formed by finer elements of social practices such as modesty, cleanliness, and other cultural norms.

Shari’a adopts these elements because they reflect reasonability and cultural preferences within a society.

Imam al Shatibi divided Shari’a laws into rituals and worship (ibadat) and reasonable customs (adat), He further elaborates on how the adat (Habits, Behavior) determine the good and evil and how Shari’a endorses the results. He explains that benefits (maslaha) do not exist in a pure and absolute form, but are mixed with discomfort, hardship, or other painful aspects (mafsada), because the world is created from a combination of opposites, with hardship comes benefit and ease.

Imam al Shatibi also classified human needs into three categories, the inevitable (daruriyyah), the needed (hajiyyah) and the luxuries or refinements (tahsiniyyah). He elaborated on the principle that individual action cannot be allowed to injure other people’s interest and emphasized the protection and promotion of social interest as objectives of Islamic law.

Imam al-Shatibi, wrote that it is incumbent upon the Mufti (religious leader) to carry people on a way that is balanced and moderate. His basis for this were the numerous Qur’anic verses and Hadith that emphasize moderation and caution regarding one’s expression of faith.

In his famous al-Muwafaqat he states two important reasons for the ease and removal of hardship found in the Shari’ah that lead one towards a balanced religious expression:

  1. To protect people from hating worship and religion because over burdening rituals will only increase people’s dislike and disdain for faith.
  2. Enable people to observe the rights of self, family and society. If people are so engrossed in rituals and acts of worship that they neglect the things around them, or are forced to neglect them, then the world will fall into chaos, and a stain will appear in their hearts towards worship.

Rather it is a sunnah (act of the prophet) that the day be split into three six hour portions, the first six hours for work, the second six hours for family and the third six hours worship and what remains for the self and sleep. The muslim work day begins soon after the fajir (morning) prayer and the day is divided from this point on. The difference between this and modern times is the balance it creates in the individual, family and ultimately society. Another difference is that the muslim week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday, muslims however worked seven days a week, although shorter days, and generally took half a day of on Friday for congressional prayer.

In the long term people where less stressed, happy and could dedicate more time to family, themselves and their pursuits. If no time was given to the self then people had less time to grow and perfect their interests because we are commanded by Rasul Allah (saws) to perfect what ever we choose to do, this is what it means to be muhsinuun, in other words those who practice human perfection (Ihsan), as it is mentioned in the Qur’an.

What distinguished Imam al-Shatibi’s interpretation is that he developed the theories by emphasizing that the maqasid al-shari‘a and masalih could override specific legal rulings. Imam Shatibi illustrates this by saying that nowhere in the Qur’ân is there a specific declaration to the effect that the Shari’ah has been enacted for the benefit of the people. Yet this is a definitive conclusion which is drawn from the collective reading of a variety of textual proclamations. Yet just as there is wisdom behind mentioning something specifically there is also wisdom behind not mentioning something and this is illustrated by the Hadith regarding the sahabah (companions) who used to ask the prophet about the minutest details of the religion until He (saws) advised them that the Jews did such a thing and their messenger answered their questions, but this only increased the burden that was placed on them, because when something is mentioned specifically by Allah and his messenger (saws) it becomes obligatory on the people to act upon it, so there is mercy (Rahma) in silence.

Al-Shatibi’s book became the standard textbook on maqasid al-shariah in Islamic scholarship until the twentieth century, but his proposal to present maqasid as ‘fundamentals of the shariah,’ as the title of his book suggests, was not widely accepted.

This is because of the element of Human Judgment regarding what ultimately benefits or harms man, there is no definitive answer to this upon matters that the Quran and Sunnah are silent upon.

Establishing a just society (focusing on the kulliyyah) are the goals (maqasid) of the Shari‘a, while the juz’iyyah (specific legal rulings) are then the means to those goals. Islamic Law “requires that we should focus on public interests and universal principles such as justice, respect and protection of a person’s beliefs, protection of life, protection of sanity and intellect, preservation of lineage (family), and protection of a person’s property or wealth, among other things to achieve this in society.

Allah says in the Quran “Alif. Lam. Mim. THIS DIVINE WRIT – let there be no doubt about it, it is [meant to be] a guidance for all the God-conscious who believe in [the existence of] that which is beyond the reach of human perception (ghayb, the quantum universe), and are constant in prayer, and spend on others out of whatWe provide for them as sustenance; and who believe in that which has been bestowed from on high upon thee, [O Prophet,] as well as in that which was bestowed before thy time (on earlier prophets), for it is they who in their innermost are certain of the life to come! It is they who follow the guidance [which comes] from their Sustainer; and it is they who shall attain to a happy state! (2:1-5)

The Maqasid Model 

The Maqasid of Islamic Law was revealed for one basic universal purpose: to realize the best interests of humans on earth.

Maslaha in the Arabic language literally translates as benefit or interest, it is defined by Imam al-Ghazali as that which secures a benefit (for man) or prevents harm (from him).

Human nature tends naturally to seek happiness, but this cannot be achieved unless people cooperate with each other, but cooperation is impossible unless people strive to live a peaceful life. Peace and security cannot be achieved unless there are rules to protect the rights of all equally. However, rules and legal regulation are useless without a source of authority to enforce them and apply them equally, in Islam this was done through educating people regarding the laws that govern their religion in this way part of the job was done by people wishing to follow their God and guiding others to do the same.

In todays world an increasing number of police are required to keep the society civil, this is the draw back of secularism it’s laws are seen as no more than points on a piece of paper having no moral relevance as they are largely made up by those who govern, while in Islamic society people lived out their knowledge and understanding of religion, and while courts and those who enforced the law clearly existed it was largely a self policed society with people encouraging each other to practice Ihsan (Human perfection) because they collectively understood it’s significance and that this life was a transient one as death comes to all.

In Medieval Europe were man was detached from the original society the Injeel (revealed Bible) was sent to, he could not even fathom a higher form of justice or morality, they lacked it’s cultural understanding along with the tools to be even capable of developing beyond their own traditions and preconceived ideas that trapped them in this dark cycle. It isn’t enough that a revealed book be introduced into a new land, people had to be trained to interpret it according to it’s author’s own understanding otherwise they form their own ideas and beliefs, this was an impossible task considering that the bible’s time period had now passed on and wasn’t preserved.

In contrast by the time of Imam Ghazali’s death in 1111.AD, Islamic Law was well developed and adopted around the muslim world with many academic tools invented to preserve the culture, language and understanding because Muslims had the benefit of hindsight christians did not, literally it was because of what they saw occurred to the christian and jewish texts and culture that spurred the muslims to preserve not just the text but it’s understanding, these tools were then exported to other parts of the world.

Hence at every stage of social advancement in Europe, beginning with the renaissance in Spain which took from the Islamic Spain it conquered, and later the enlightenment and American declaration of Independence, they imported and adopted Islamic knowledge that gave Europe an injection of new ideas and thought which freed them from the cycle they were in, these tools eventually helped them to later develop there own ideas and understanding.

For all the above reasons the Divine wisdom revealed Shari’ah to help man achieve the masalih or benefits of people in the two following ways:

First, by procuring these masalih (or by bringing them about), since people cannot bring about the benefits of mankind equally; they discriminate against each other, they kill each other, they steal from each other, they humiliate others for various reasons such as color, ethnicity, power, social status and the like. In one word they present their interest as central and others are only a means to achieve their own ends. Allah is an absolute justice who legislates to mankind what is beneficial to all.

Second, Islamic Divine Law achieves its goal by preserving or protecting these human universal benefits by setting rules and regulations with sets of prescribed punishments, The Islamic Divine Law then has a two-fold function.

Though Imam al-Ghazali defined Maslaha as that which secures a benefit or prevents harm, however, the benefits mentioned in Islamic Divine Law have been categorized into three kinds by the scholars:

First: accredited benefits (Masalih Mu’tabarah), which are regulated by The Lawgiver in the sense that a textual authority (such as the Qur’an and Sunnah) from the divine law could be found to prove their validity.

Second: nullified (prohibited) benefits (Masalih Mulghat): these are other kinds of benefits and interests that the Shari’ah prohibited because they lead to harm and hardship (Mafsadah), such as stealing or usury.

Third: unregulated benefits (al-Masalih al-Mursalah), since the benefits of people can be as numerous as their public interests, we find that the divine law did not regulate a number of these benefits directly but by similitude. So their validity is not clearly apparent and must be identified using Ijtihad (Legal Reasoning). In the principles of jurisprudence these kinds of benefits are called the unregulated benefits, and it is left for legal scholars or jurists to work on them.

Imam al-Ghazali said masalih or benefits should be harmonious and consistent with the objective (Maqasid) of the Shari’ah, since the basic purpose of legislation (tashri’) is to protect the interest of people against harm.

Objectives or Maqasid of Islamic law themselves are classified in various ways, according to a number of dimensions. The following are some of these dimensions:

  1. Levels of necessity, which is the traditional classification.
  2. Scope of the rulings aiming to achieve the Objectives.
  3. Scope of people included in the Objectives.
  4. Level of universality of the Objectives.

When the Maqasid are looked at in terms of priority, importance and benefits they were similarly divided by Muslim scholars into three kinds. They are prioritized with the Qur’an and Sunnah at its heart, the masalih then revolve around each other with the Islamic creed (Aqeedah) and the Shariah as the main source of legislation:

  1. The first priority of the masalih are the Necessities, (Da.ru.riy.yat)
  2. The second priority of the masalih are the Needs, (Ha.jiy.yat), and
  3. The third priority of the masalih are the Luxuries, (Tah.seen.niy.yat)

“Necessities are further classified into what ‘preserves one’s faith, soul, wealth, mind, and offspring.’ Some jurists added ‘the preservation of honour’ to the above five widely popular necessities. These necessities were considered essential matters for human life itself. There is also a general agreement that the preservation of these necessities is the ‘objective behind any revealed law,’ not just the Islamic law.”

“Maqasid at the level of Needs are less essential for human life. Examples are marriage, trade, and means of transportation. Islam encourages and regulates these needs. However, the lack of any of these needs is not a matter of life and death, especially on an individual basis”.

“Maqasid at the level of luxuries are ‘beautifying purposes,’ such as using perfume, stylish clothing, and beautiful homes. These are things that Islam encourages, but also asserts how they should take a lower priority in one’s life”. It is significant that the Islamic civilization by the 11th century was debating the place of luxuries in everyday life, while Europe did not even value the place of the personnel gardens until Spain was conquered from the Muslims, they became shocked at the luxurious they found and after forcing muslim artisans to divulge their secrets during the inquisition, this later started the renaissance in Europe.

We have to understand that before these islamic developments, now taken for granted, the world looked vastly different.

“The three levels in the hierarchy are overlapping and interrelated, in addition, each level should serve the level(s) below. Also, the general lack of one item from a certain level moves it to the level above. For example, the decline of trade, during an economic crises, moves ‘trade’ from a ‘need’ into a ‘life necessity,’and so on. That is why some jurists preferred to perceive necessities in terms of ‘overlapping circles,’ rather than a strict hierarchy”.

From this understanding the Ullumah (scholars) have then identified ‘five essential values’ of life that are universal necessities or priorities “on which the lives of people depend, and whose neglect leads to total disruption and chaos.”

These five necessities have been labeled as the “Five Maqasid of Shariah”, and there preservation is essential. Three of which were used in the American Declaration of Independence, they are :

  • Religion
  • Life
  • Intellect
  • Procreation
  • Property

Imam al Ghazali said that any measure which secures these values also falls within the scope of maslahah (peoples interest), and anything which violates them is mafsadah (evil), and preventing the latter is also maslahah. More technically, maslahahl mursalah (Public Interest) is defined as a consideration which is proper and harmonious (wasf munasib mula’im) with the objectives of the Lawgiver (Allah).

Because these five necessities are derived from Shari’ah as necessary and basic for human existence, therefore, every society should preserve and protect these five necessities; otherwise human life would be harsh, brutal, poor, and miserable, in this world and the hereafter.

The Objectives of Shariah do not simply look after the interest of people in this world but the next as well and are key to identifying what ultimately benefits man in this life.

Needs are matters that remove restrictions and difficulties in applying the five necessities. Allah says in The Qur’an:

“Allah does not want to place you in a difficulty, but He wants to purify you, and to complete His favor to you, that you may be grateful.” (Qur’an, 5:6)

In another chapter Allah says: “Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you.” (Qur’an, 2:185)

The divine law grants people concessions (rukhas) in cases of hardship such as sickness, and traveling, but neglecting these Needs will lead to hardships in life, but not chaos and collapse.

Luxuries are intended to render human affairs or conditions more suited to the requirements of the highest standards of moral conduct. They “denote interests whose realization leads to improvement and the attainment of that which is desirable.”

Thus, the observance of cleanliness in personal appearance and in spirituality, the growth of moral virtues, the avoidance of wastefulness in consumption, and moderation in the enforcement of penalties, fall within the scope of Luxuries.

From contemplation on these benefits a systematic set of legal rules and principles was deduced known as Qawaid al Fiqh, the Maxims of Islamic Law, such as:

  1. Harm must be removed.
  2. Public harm or loss is averted by the private assumption of loss.
  3. The greater of two harms is averted by assumption of the lesser.
  4. Averting harm is to be preferred over procuring of benefits.
  5. Cases of necessity make permissible what is normally forbidden or restricted.
  6. Necessity is determined by the specific circumstances.
  7. Hardship in a situation secures lenience for people.
  8. It is not permissible to do what will harm one’s self.

The Question Of  The Ship and Torture

“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?”

“Would you torture one person to save the lives of many?”

In most cases prisoners of war do not have nuclear launch codes to a dirty bomb or are even in a situation were America is held to ransom, most are simply soldiers with information the American military needs in their wars, so the two cases that of the ship and prisoners of war are relatively similar.

Based on the Maqasid (Objectives) of Shariah Imam al-Ghazali said regarding his example of the abandoned ship that it is morally wrong to kill some people in order to save others.

Why? Imam al-Ghazali gave three reasons against the justification of killing in this case:

1.Universality: the benefit of people, in this case the majority, is not a universal benefit, it is only the interest of a small community who are going to use others as means to their end.

2.Necessity: the benefit of those people on the boat is not necessary to a degree to break another necessity and kill humans.

3.Certainty: we are not certain that killing those people is going to save the rest. What if they killed them and after that they faced another problem at sea, should they kill another 10 people to save the rest? This is morally unjustifiable and becomes out of control.

In Islam the life of every single human is unique and precious; it is one of the five necessities and must be preserved and protected. Allah commanded Muslims in the Qur’an that killing is prohibited, and to kill one soul, in Allah’s judgement, is as if you killed the entire human race and to save one soul is as if you saved the entire human race, so then how can you kill the entire human race to simply save a community, when people account for their actions each life taken will then weigh as the entire human race on that day along with it’s retribution.

Two moral realities can be derived from the example above, consequences, regardless of how they seem, do not justify such immoral acts. And the end result, no matter how immediately beneficial to us, do not justify the means by which we achieve them. Even if gain is achieved it is temporary and the consequences we would face with Allah would be more severe as our actions are unjustifiable.

When Allah created man he said to the Angels he was going to place a Khalifah on earth. Allah’s Khalifah means Allah’s representative and vicegerent, who takes care of affairs on behalf of Allah, this position is entirely in relation to mankind’s sovereignty over other creatures on this planet, and to help us understand what we are responsible for, Allah revealed to man the many books and Religion as a whole.

Allah asks us to be mindful of his creatures and to pay attention to them: “And there is no creature on [or within] the earth or bird that flies with its wings except [that they are] communities like you. We have not neglected in the Register a thing. Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.” (Qur’an, 6:38)

He asks us to be mindful of what we kill, then instructs us to not overstep these limits and destroy entire species: “Eat and drink from the provision of Allah, and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.” (Qur’an, 2:60)

He asks us to look after the atmosphere, be mindful of its state and not to destroy it; “And We made the sky a protected ceiling (canopy), but they, from its signs, are turning away.” (Qur’an, 21:32)

He asks us not to waste what has been placed on earth and be excessive in what we take: “But waste not by excess: for Allah loveth not the wasters” (Quran 6:141)

He asks us to look after the balance of nature and this earth: “And He has raised the heaven and set up the balance, [declaring] that you should not contravene with regard to the balance. And observe the measure with justice and do not skimp the balance. And the earth, He placed it for [all] creatures. In it are fruits and date-palms with sheaths, and grain with husk, and fragrant herb (don’t even harm these). So which of your Lord’s favours will you deny?” (55:7-13)

So then what of Human life itself by comparison, people who ask these questions have already lost their moral compass and balance, they’re now simply looking back at humanity and wondering, what was once there ?

Why Isn’t The Islamic World Still Prominent

Historically the Islamic world did experience decline, not simply towards the end of the Ottoman Empires time when the Colonial powers of Europe dismantled it piece by piece. Both Islam and the Bible state that Allah allowed the British Empire to conquer all other nations, when they began to worship the “dragon”. But this initial decline that began in the 12th century was largely due to external forces such as invading armies rather than a critical flaw in it’s systems, a true decline in the classical sense did not begin to occur until the 17th century.

For example the great wall of China had to be built to stop the mongol hordes from devastating China, because of this they later turned their attention in another direction towards Islamic lands eventually devastating the civilization muslims had built.

While china found no lasting solution to the golden horde it was actually from this very horde that devastated many lands, almost reaching Europe, that the last Islamic Khalifah would come. After the horde now having converted to Islam the Ottoman Empire was established in the 13th century, it lasted for more than 600 years and while they excelled at everything dominating the other empires of the world until the 18th, they could not excel at what most scholars understood was the heart of Islam, Ihsan, the practice of Human perfection, this was largely due to the fact Islam was a religion they adopted from a previously militaristic tradition. They hadn’t understood and mastered it’s nuances to the same depths as previous generations of Muslims. In contrast the Islamic Golden Age occurred during the reign of the Abbasid Khalifah who were direct descendants of the prophets uncle Abbas.

Hence the Ottomans major advancements were in the physical sciences rather than advancing mankind’s understanding of the Maqasid of Shariah, what Allah wanted for man and then achieving it, this was the very thing that fostered Islam’s Golden Age before their time.

This reality the Ottomans found themselves in is beautifully summed up by Allah in the following verse:

“As for those who strive hard in Us, We will surely guide them to our paths (of reality and knowledge). And verily, Allah is with those who perfect themselves (al Muhsinun)”. (29:69)

The Islamist Call To Westernise The West’s Call To Islamise

891627d7886a229de2941fa3ec777c48The 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 17th 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 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century.

The hole of the 17th  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 8th 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 9th  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 9th 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 9th century until the 17th 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 17th century translation, “Philosophus Autodidactus”, published by Edward Pococke, of the Arabic philosophical novel “Hayy ibn Yaqzan” (Lit. “Alive, Son of the Awake”), by the 12th 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 17th 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 19th 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

[An Introduction to History] over 400 years before Charles Darwin, states:

“One should then look at the world of creation. It started out from the minerals and progressed, in an ingenious, gradual manner to plants and animals. The last stage of minerals is connected with the first stage of plants, such as herbs, and seedless plants. last stage of plants such as palms and vines is connected with the first stage of animals, such as snails and shellfish which have only the power to touch. The word ‘connection’ with regard to these created things means that the last stage of each group is fully prepared to become the first stage of the next group. The animal world then widens, its species become numerous, and, in a gradual process of creation, it finally leads to man, who is able to think and reflect. The higher stage of man is reached from the world of monkeys, in which both sagacity and perception are found, but which has not reached the stage of actual reflection and thinking. At this point we come to the first stage of man (after the world of monkeys). This is as far as our observation extends.”

(Ibn Khaldun was inspired by the following verses in the Qur’an to study creation, “Say: “Roam the earth and observe how the creation was initiated.” (29:20), “God created you in diverse stages” (71:14), the term “You” in the verse is plural, “Allah has created every animal out of water . Of them (is a category which) walks upon its belly, (another which) walks upon two legs, and (a third which) walks upon four . Allah creates what He wills. Allah is Able to do everything (He wants).” (24:25), “Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the Earth were of one connected entity, then We separated them and We made every living thing out of water? (A primordial liquid) Will they not then believe?”(21:30))

Ibn Khaldun further mentions, “Physical circumstances and the environment are subject to changes that affect later generations; they do not necessarily remain unchanged.”

“The essences at the end of each particular stage of the worlds are by nature prepared to be transformed into the essence adjacent to them. This is the case with the simple material elements; it is the case with the palms and vines (which constitute) the last stage of plants, in their relation to snails and shellfish, (which constitute) the (lowest) stage of animals. It is also the case with monkeys, creatures combining in themselves cleverness and perception, in their relation to man, the being who has the ability to think and to reflect. The preparedness that exists on either side, at each stage of the worlds, is meant when (we speak about) their connection.”

(Excerpts from The Islamic Theory of Evolution, T.O. Shanavas)

Ibn Khaldun was above all else a Muslim, It is more accurate to understand his words along this line, as Allah’s creation progressed over time, He granted one creation more ability and capacity than the previous one. Ibn Khaldun was not making a physical connection between the creation of Adam and monkeys but the observation instead, unless the translators in Europe had a similar education to him, in order to be able relate to his Islamic background and ideas, the subtleties in his thinking could not be perceived with exact accuracy in order to translate his works precisely, hence this would have been a source for confusion among them.

There are many more critical examples of Islamic knowledge being implemented by Europe to take it out of the dark ages it was in, like Accounting and the fact numbers were called Arabic numeral’s in the west even past WW2, it wasn’t that long ago Europe was using Roman numeral’s which hindered any form of advancement in mathematics and physics for a long time, but since there was a systematic attempt to hide the origins of what advanced Europe from the ideas of the Church it isn’t easy to trace by simply looking at the references.

The Mess Science Was In By 19th Century Europe and It’s Consequences

“When Ibn al haythams books were translated into Latin as the Spanish conquered Muslim lands in the Iberian Peninsula, he was not referred to by his name, but rather as “Alhazen”. The practice of changing the names of great Muslim scholars to more European sounding names or removing them altogether was common in the European Renaissance as a means to discredit Muslims and erase their contributions to Christian Europe”, this also was evident in it’s barbaric laws that Europe wasn’t a place of understanding or toleration, but rather fear and prejudice.

This misinformation was the Jumbled mess of science at the turn of the 19th century, and it’s supposedly untraceable origins except as they claimed miraculously back to the greeks, it’s origins skipping a thousand years or so by them somehow preserving a dead heritage in a place that had trouble even acknowledging the earth was round or having libraries to even contain the books in, needless to say their science was full of truths, half truths and fallacies.

Psychology for example was a branch of Philosophy until 1870 when it became an independent discipline in Germany and the United States, this origin would fate it to be no more than pseudo science until the modern era when through the advancements of technology and other fields of medicine like neuroscience they would correct and throw out all of their old misconceptions and beliefs about man. The tragic state of psychology would unfortunately shape the modern era through countless misconceptions about man, none more severe than the Nazi policy of Eugenics and their ideas regarding the Aryan race.

Through psychology and philosophy a new form of Atheism would be born fueled by what can only be termed today as pseudo science, Germany eventually adopted Communism under Hitler and America Capitalism first then Atheism as secular thought increased globally through them. At the time Communism and Capitalism where being introduced to the world, after World War One, both were nothing but a new form of Atheism being conceptualized, they separated the existence of the soul, a subatomic substance, from its connection to the heart and placed the entire sphere of human behavior and it’s causes in the realm of the brain and chemical reactions we produce in our body, completely oblivious to what influences the causes of these emotions the heart to them having no role whatsoever, ask any women where she feels love and she won’t say in her head but western men would jump at telling her she is delusional.

Rather than advancing man to higher issues he faces in life they reduced him to his physical components alone and today this is seen as common sense.

Had they been after scientific truths alone, instead of the science to prove their preconceived belief’s and supremacy, they would not have had issue seeing that it wasn’t a case of either or, but a bigger picture in the body that needed to be seen and all pieces fit and work together, today we have many fields of science dedicated to studying what was once considered ludicrous by these same people but unfortunately these are the same people who shaped the modern world.

Religion cant cure physical illness normally but it rather cures what causes them, and these are the harmful lifestyles that people live, this is a few steps higher in the psychology “food chain” than chemical reactions, what doctors today term preventative measures. Jamal al Deen al Afghani and his occult groups thought they had all the answers through the pseudo science that existed at the turn of the 19th century and many of these now archaic groups still employ the same outdated understanding of the world, they instead cut of what religion was about and came to deal with from having any relevance or role in the life of Man. Even acupuncture is a proven form of medicine today curing man through his nervous system which controls more than just the chemical reactions in the human body, this to is a few steps higher in the psychology “food chain” than just chemicals and has been available to man for a few thousand years now.

The body naturally relies on the heart, not just to pump blood but what it feels is connected to our inner eye or imagination, this is what influences man through out his life, in other words his perception, today science is still baffled by how a placebo (fake) pill can still cure man simply because he thinks he is receiving medicine, the human body has it’s own way of healing itself, man has to simply start it.

Man’s body is a large interconnected system that is then connected with the spiritual world, or the subatomic part out the universe in modern terms, mans vision in himself is shaped and influenced by Allah who grants him depth of perception we translate as intelligence and wisdom. The chemical reactions are only a small part of that whole equation not the extent of the matter as they assumed for a long time, this was the driving force behind modern Atheism and the theory evolution despite the fact many historical islamic physicians themselves discussed evolution at length and accepted it, unlike modern Atheists who sought to impose there preconceived ideas before actually proving them, muslim physicians attributed evolution to the One who created the Universe and not simply the Universe itself.

They replaced the causes, effects and relationships that Allah outlined in the Qur’an between harmful acts (sin) and human sicknesses. So then you end up losing the wisdom of the ages (religion) and replacing it with an almost useless knowledge to the laymen about the reactions of the Human body, which he has no immediate control over beyond some shallow dietary restrictions, man finds wisdom in understanding the bigger picture.

The simile for this is of a man who goes to a Doctor to cure his addiction to alcohol, so the Doctor gives him a pill to cure him of the addiction, except the man doesn’t give up drinking so he continually relies on the pill and the Doctor never deals with the actual cause of the addiction, his life. He instead fills his mind with knowledge about how the body reacts to chemicals and how the pill affects the reaction, making you rely on knowledge that wont benefit you beyond why you are taking the pill, and giving up on what Allah has told you about what benefits and harms Man in greater scheme of things.

This type of knowledge is similar to what Rasul Allah (saws) said about poetry, The Prophet said, “It is better for a man to fill the inside of his body with pus than to fill it with poetry.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

He (saws) didn’t ban Poetry, many poets existed in his time, but to utterly fill yourself with this kind of knowledge leaves no room for anything else in your life until it misguides you as it shapes your mind.

The Prophet (saws) said, “Whoever imitates a people becomes one of them.” (Bukhari and Muslim) and to fill your self with a false incomplete world view which rejects the matters Islam has spoken about in the Qur’an will cause a person to eventually become one of them, lost.

The natural qualities of the Human being can no longer be seen underneath the modern clothes we wear, just their design, in this way our mind and society is quietly shaped by fashion, John (ra) warned about adopting the image of “Babylon the Great”.

In a very similar way Islam warned about Idol worship, not simply because of its false gods but the science behind how it worked, specifically the impact this act had on the human self, and because of this Rasul Allah (saws) forbade even the drawing of any living creatures or making statues of them, this prohibition then links the behavior an idol worshiper displays in his attachment to a stone Idol with what we are doing when admiring a picture or painting. In other words the mechanisms behind idol worshiping are exactly the same behind following a Pop Idol or Movie Star, both are deliberately set up so the crowd follows and mimics them unthinkingly.

This behaviour in our time is understood by Psychologists very clearly and deliberately manipulated to create a different type of Idol in the mind whose purpose isn’t for us to worship as a false god, but to be enslaved by it’s persona and product.

Western Advertising, the Movie, Music and Entertainment industries along with the Major Corporations that manufacture everything, have spread this corruption on earth, this corrupt culture they spread the prophet (saws) called the civilization of destruction while John (ra) called Babylon the Great, it has replaced religion and the materialism they promote through it has enslaved mans senses, this is the “image” John (ra) warned about.

They have come to understand what the verses of the Qur’an mention about the nature of Man, they hire Psychologists to develop methods of breaking down mental resistance to their products and ideas, in this way Psychology in our time has become the biggest fitnah (strife) on earth giving the devil access to the minds and hearts of man.

The image of these Movie and Pop idol’s they own, is worshiped by man in as subtle a way as a person enjoying a painting, this nature in man Allah (exalted is He) mentioned, when He said: Have you seen him who chooses for his god his own lust?. (25:43), this is the Idol of the mind today, materialism, we place no value on the spiritual meaning that exists in life, we stay enslaved until our inner vision and heart are completely blind to their existence incapable of even paying attention to their reality.

This blindness occurs whether by punishment from Allah or a habit we can’t break, “For indeed it is not the eyes that grow blind, but it is the hearts, which are within the bosoms, that grow blind” (22:46).

The Prophet Muhammad (saws) explained, “Shall I not tell you of which I fear for you more than I fear of the Antichrist?” They said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah”, he said, “Hidden shirk (hidden attachments of the heart), where one beautifies his way of praying only because another one is looking at him.”

This is the shirk (attachment of the heart) of a practicing muslim, he beautifies his spiritual acts for the sake of others, Allah will say to him you prayed for other than my sake. Similarly with culture and trends we are chasing other than Allah and have set these things up to dominate our heart, while the heart is the place for Allah’s presence, as the saintly men said “Qalb al Insan Arsh al Rahman”, the heart of man is the throne of the merciful, and the body is a temple meant to be kept pure in the words of Isa (as), this is why we no longer have a connection to Allah when we corrupt our heart.

Allah said: “Consider the human self, and how it is formed in accordance with what it is meant to be, And (he) inspired it (with) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it. To a happy state shall indeed attain he who causes this [self] to grow in purity (Zakaha), and truly lost is he who buries it [in darkness].” (91:7-10)

Nationalism Is Created In Egypt

ce52b8431d66a2be7ee50c1555c78287Bismillahi 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

[National] Grand Lodge of England in its customs, laws and ritual.”

Several accounts report that following his withdrawal from the English Masons, Afghani formed “a national lodge” (mafyfalan wataniyyan) affiliated with the French Grand Orient, although after his exile from Egypt, and while in France, his affiliations would change back, visiting England and accepting assignments from them. Within a short time this lodge boasted a membership of more than three hundred. Besides Afghani’s usual followers, it attracted a number of journalists, intellectuals, notables, ‘ulama’ (scholars), members of the Assembly and some army officers.

The members were divided into several committees to serve as liaisons with government departments. One was entrusted with the War Minister, others were assigned to the Ministers of Justice, Finance, Public Works, etc.

It was through this association remarks Rashid Rida, that ‘Abduh was able to establish contact with Tawfiq Pasha and other leaders of Egypt. Tawfiq’s association with Afghani can be traced to this period. He joined the lodge headed by Afghani, and at his inauguration as Khedive leader of Egypt on 27 June, 1879, a delegation of Masons from this lodge went to congratulate him. Also, when he died in 1892, another delegation was present at the funeral ceremonies.

On his part, Tawfiq professed liberalism and promised constitutional reforms upon his accession to the Khedivate. Whether he was privy to any plot to remove his father by force can only be conjectured, but certainly Afghani was thinking in these terms. ‘Abduh relates that in the spring of 1879 Afghani and many notables asked the then Chief Minister Sharif Pasha to “convince Isma’il of the need to abdicate” but Isma’il refused. Later Afghani led a delegation of Egyptians to see the newly arrived French Consul-General, Tricou, and told him that “there is in Egypt a national party which wants reform…and that this reform cannot be carried out except at the hands of the heir-apparent Tawfiq Pasha.”

In this we see, the now french masons, making efforts to place in power a ruler in Egypt loyal to them, it would not be long after the struggle between these groups that the English Empire would come to colonize Egypt outright.

There was much private talk in that spring among a group of Azhari reformers influenced by Afghani as to how Isma’il could be deposed; they even considered assassination, much as did the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood years later, assassinating one Egyptian president and attempting to kill another.

In ‘Abduh’s words, Afghani proposed that Isma’il should be assassinated as he passed in his carriage daily over the Kasr el Nil bridge, and I strongly approved, but it was only talk between ourselves, and we lacked a person capable of taking a lead in the affair.

Afghani, a Times correspondent observed, had “almost obtained the weight of a Median law among the lower and less educated classes” meaning his rule, even the king was powerless to change, the lower classes would come to form the Salafi movement and eventually the Muslim Brotherhood.

It was during these turbulent times that the national movement began to emerge. In April, 1879 the existence of the Patriotic (Party) Society (al-Hizb al-Watani) became publicly known.

When Tawfiq replaced his father as Khedive in June, 1879, Afghani was no longer his main  teacher, he would come into contact with less corrupt Muslims working in the government.

Afghani and the nationalists still believed that the long-awaited reforms could at last be instituted, for such had been the impression given by Tawfiq before his accession. He continued to give the same impression during the first few weeks of his reign. For example, the delegation of Masons sent to congratulate him upon his accession was assured of his intention to implement reforms. Sharif Pasha, who had been serving as Chief Minister since April, stayed in office holding the same notion. Afghani, too, remained on good terms. But the honeymoon did not last long. Afghani, Sharif and the various nationalist groups were applying pressure on Tawfiq for immediate reforms.

Sharif submitted a plan for a constitution that would have created a strong representative assembly and ministerial responsibility, but at the expense of the Khedive’s powers, Tawfiq’s foreign consuls advised him otherwise, replacing Sharif with Riyad.

Supported by Sherif Pasha, he [Afghani] for some time deemed it expedient to conceal his more pronounced views, but on the fall of the late Ministry [of Sharif] he seems to have lent himself more openly to a propaganda against the introduction of the European element in any form into the administration of the country, possibly demonstrating the point he turned back to British Masonry.

Afghani now disillusioned not knowing who his allies were, a French journalist gives the following eyewitness account: One evening in the Hasan mosque in Cairo, before an audience of four thousand people, he [Afghani] gave a powerful speech in which he (duplicitly) denounced with a deep prophetic sense, three years before the event, the ultimate purpose of British policy on the banks of the Nile. He also showed at the same time the Khedive Taufiq as compelled to serve—consciously or not— British ambitions, and ended his speech by a war-cry against the foreigner and by a call for a revolution to save the independence of Egypt and establish liberty.

It would not be long after this that the British Empire would have the pretext it needed to colonize Egypt and control the Suez Canal along with all traffic through it, Two World Wars would later prove how vital this area was.

At the same time, Afghani was implicated in a plot attributed to the Masonic followers of ‘Abd al-Halim, the son of Muhamad Ali the former ruler of Egypt, aimed at replacing Tawfiq with Halim. In letters written in 1883, Afghani complained that it was the officer ‘Uthman Pasha (the Police Chief of Cairo) who had spread these malicious rumors and told Tawfiq that Afghani planned to kill him in concert with the Masons.

To Riyad Pasha he wrote: “A group of foreign Masons and their followers… who were under the leadership of ‘Abd al-Halim when he was president of the Masonic Order in Cairo, tried to work for Halim’s succession and I, out of my love for the Khedive Tawfiq, left them.”

On the 24 August, 1879, Afghani was seized by the police, whisked away to Suez, and was put on a ship bound for India. A few days later the official gazette, al-Waqa’i’ al-Misriyya, published the government’s statement, and new independent stance, charging Afghani with leading a secret society based on violence, and as it was revealed nearly 2000 years earlier to the companion John (ra) who would likewise state, “aimed at corrupting religion and the world”.
