Free E-Book: TERRORISM: The Ritual of the Devil

Throughout their entire lives, everyone is at war with an enemy, the extent of whose strength and influence they perhaps fail to fully comprehend. He constantly invites mankind to commit evil, and many people he uses without them even being aware of it. Those who are constantly in conflict with others, who always believe that violence is the answer, who take pleasure in brutality, murder, chaos and anarchy, in short, those who harm the peace and security of the world, have lost the war against this foe, whether they realize it or not, and have fallen under his control. This most dangerous enemy is the Devil.

Secret Iran-Israel Alliance, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

On February 22, 2006 during MIT ISG Lecture Series, Dr. Trita Parsi gave a lecture entitled 'Israel and Iran – Ideological Foes or Strategic Rivals?'.

As an Iranian intellectual well-versed on the Iranian and the Middle Eastern political affairs, he knows in depth what really had happened behind closed doors between the seemingly hostile Middle Eastern powers, Iran and Israel. It is interesting to note that both are two of the three non-Arab nations amidst the overwhelmingly majority Arab Middle Eastern region.

'Chapter of the Cave' (Arabic 'Surah Al-Kahf') of the Holy Quran which the Prophet Muhammad strongly advised Muslims to recite during the advent of the Antichrist (Islamic 'Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal') consists of several true stories narrated by God Himself, and among those stories are Men of the Cave who escaped oppression of a tyrant as well as the travels of a just King whom the Quran refered to as 'The Two-Horned One' (Quranic 'Zulqarnain').

We believe 'Chapter of the Cave' provides secret codes to the understanding of who the Antichrist is as well as how and where he will appear. Research by contemporary Islamic scholars, among them Abul Kalam Azad of the Indian subcontinent proved the long accepted 'fact' that Zulqarnain is Alexander the Great, otherwise. Abul Kalam subsequently argued that it was actually Cyrus the Great, whom God called ' Zulqarnain' in the Quran. Cyrus is considered the Founder of the greatest empire ever existed in the history of the Globe, which was the Persian empire during its heights. He had always been a monotheist believing in the teachings of Zoroaster, a great ancient Persian prophet, and allowed freedom of religions throughout his wide empire. He was looked upon by his dominions as 'liberator' rather than conquerer.

Cyrus the Great allowed the Jews during his time to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple of Solomon. The Jews regarded him as their 'Messiah' despite his Aryan non-Semitic genealogy. Thus, even during the ancient times, there had been close political relationship fostered between Iranians (at the time Persians) and the Israelis (Children of Israel during Cyrus's time), and interestingly that closeness recurs within Shah's era.

The lecture by Dr. Parsi will reveal how that close and open relationship during Shah transforms into 'close but secret' one as soon as Khomeini came into power in 1979.

First Chechen War

The First Chechen War (Russian: первая чеченская война) occurred when Russian forces attempted to stop the southern republic of Chechnya from seceding in a two year period lasting from 1994 to 1996. Despite overwhelming manpower, weaponry, and air support, the Russian forces were unable to establish effective control over the mountainous area due to many successful Chechen guerrilla raids. Widespread demoralization of the Russian forces in the area prompted Russian President Boris Yeltsin to declare a ceasefire in 1996 and sign a peace treaty a year later.

At 8:50 a.m. (BST, UTC+1), three bombs exploded within 50 seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb exploded on a bus nearly an hour later at 9:47 a.m. in Tavistock Square. The bombings killed 52 innocent people, the four suicide bombers, and also caused a severe, day-long disruption of the city's transport and mobile telecommunications infrastructure.

David Icke

David Vaughan Icke, pronounced /aik/ (born April 29, 1952) is a former professional football player, reporter, television sports presenter, and British Green Party national spokesperson. Since 1990, he has been what he calls a "full-time investigator into who and what is really controlling the world." [1]
The Green Party distanced itself from him in 1991 after he announced that he was "the son of God," [2] (video) and a "channel for the Christ spirit." [3] He began to dress only in turquoise and maintained that the world was ruled by a secret group called the "Global Elite", or "Illuminati", which he linked to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic hoax. [4] [5] In 1999, he published The Biggest Secret, in which he wrote that the secret world government consists of a race of reptilian humanoids known as the Babylonian Brotherhood, and that many prominent figures are, in fact, reptilian, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie. [4][6]
Icke has further claimed that a small group of Jews, namely the Rothschild family — who are really a "reptilian humanoid bloodline" — secretly financed Adolf Hitler and supported the Holocaust. [7] As a result, Icke's speaking tours at one time attracted the interest of British neo-Nazis such as Combat 18, [5] and he continues to face opposition from Jewish and anti-racist groups such as the Anti-Defamation League in Canada. Icke has strongly denied that he is an anti-Semite, stressing that the Rothschilds are reptiles, not Jews. [2]

The Founder of Zionism is an anti-Semite, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

In research for our first book, 'Menanti Imam Ke-12', we were shocked to discover that Theodor Herzl, the man attributed to be Founder of the Zionist Movement had always been an anti-Semite, and despised his own people, the Jews.

This is an extreme contradiction due to obvious labelling (by the Israeli Government) of those who criticise any Israeli policy as anti-Semitic although most of the criticisms are justified.

Nostradamus in his prophecies stated that the Antichrist will lead the anti-Semitic movement of his day, to the shock of the Swiss Government at the time. The Muslims believe Muhammad's words that the Antichrist is Jewish and will be followed by many Jews.

What a confusion!

Trying to reconcile various pieces of evidence deduced by this shocking documentary, Zionism and Herzl as well as from Nostradamus's quatrains and the Prophet Muhammad's narrations, The UNIFOND Organization theorises that the Jews who will follow the Antichrist may most probably be Zionists and sympathisers to the Zionist cause. Ultra-Orthodox Jews who will reject the Antichrist as their 'Moshiach' may be subjected to holocaust, along with believers from the Sunni Muslims and the Unitarian Christians.

For visitors' attention, Theodor Herzl had been an atheist throughout his whole life, and prefered the idea of converting his children to Christianity. He is Jew but not Jew.

Please watch the video above. The discoveries were made from his personal diary which was published after his death.

On China

China (Traditional Chinese: 中國; Simplified Chinese: 中国; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhōngguó (help·info); Tongyong Pinyin: Jhongguó) is a cultural region and ancient civilization in East Asia. Due to the stalemate of the last Chinese Civil War following World War II, China is currently divided into two separate sovereign states: the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan (The Republic of China). The PRC administers and governs mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, while the Taiwan (The ROC) administers and governs the island groups of Taiwan, the Pescadores, Kinmen, Matsu, and the disputed islands of Pratas and Taiping in the South China Sea.

The USS Liberty conspiracy: The attack by Israel to get Egypt blamed

The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a U.S. Navy intelligence ship, USS Liberty, in international waters about 12.5 nautical miles (23 km) from the coast of the Sinai Peninsula, north of El Arish, by Israeli fighter planes and torpedo boats on June 8, 1967.

It occurred during the Six-Day War, a conflict between Israel and the Arab states of Egypt, Jordan and Syria. The Israeli attack killed 34 U.S. servicemen and wounded at least 173. The attack was the second deadliest against a U.S. Naval vessel since the end of World War II, surpassed only by the Iraqi Exocet missile attack on the USS Stark on May 17, 1987, and marked the single greatest loss of life by the U.S. Intelligence Community.

The White House under invasion of Gog and Magog?, from Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

We present here John Pilger's 'Breaking the Silence' documentary to reveal all the terrorist activities of The White House, CIA and the Pentagon ever since 1940's.

In the period spanning more than 40 years, the United States in expanding their 'Free World' and so-called democracy had interfered in the domestic politics of more than 70 Third World countries, killing more than 6 million innocent civilians in total, and the number is increasing daily in Iraq and Palestine. The worst of all these so far is Indonesia, when Suharto assisted by CIA killed more than a million innocent people under pretext of regime change.

Please watch 'Breaking the Silence' here.

The UNU Group is not of the opinion that Al-Qaeda is a creation of the United States, however we believe Bin Laden did receive some form of training from CIA, to be used against the U.S. itself later on, after the Afghan war. The U.S. does give support however to Shiite so-called 'mujahidin' fighters, and until now (in Iraq) has been supporting Muqtada As-Sadr to annihilate the Sunni population.

We do not support the terrorist activities perpetrated by Bin Laden but simultaneously we believe he is just a product of American terrorism and hatred towards American injustice.

Intensive research by The UNU Group shows that The White House began to pursue its policy of Global terror just before the beginning of World War Two, in other words soon after the Zionist lobby began to have its grip on The White House. And now, the Lobby controls virtually every level of the American Government.

For information on the Zionist lobby in The White House, please watch a documentary called 'Republican Paul Findley Dares to Speak Out' here, where Senator Findley had been interviewed on the Zionist lobby in America. Senator Findley has been struggling hard to oppose the power of the lobby, but to no avail, he is well respected by fellow senators as well as those from both Western and Islamic worlds. He is the author of the International best seller 'They dare to speak out' writing against Zionism in the American Government.

The origins of the Zionist movement can be traced back to Europe, pioneered by Eastern European Jews. Theodor Herzl is an Eastern European Jew, and so the rest of other founders of Zionism.

'The Thirteenth Tribe' by Arthur Koestler argues that around 90% of World Jewry descended from a Turkish federation of tribes called 'The Khazars'. The Khazars, he further argued are forefathers of today's Ashkenazic Jews, who are today known as 'Eastern European Jews'. They embraced Judaism in 740 A.D. and over time proved themselves to be protector of International Jewry, although their Kings at the time acknowledged the fact that they have nothing to do in genealogy to Abraham, in short they're Turks and not Semites.

The real Jews of the Bible number less than 10% and most can be found in Israel as well as in diverse Middle Eastern countries. They are less hostile to the Arabs, unlike their Ashkenazic brethren. Thus majority of today's Jews (Ashkenazic Jews) are not Semites but in fact Turks.

Visitors can read 'The Thirteenth Tribe' here.

It's interesting to note that the Bible and the Quran made mention of ferocious tribes called 'Gog Magog' (Quranic 'Yajuj wa Majuj') who will appear at the end times to spread corruption on the Globe. The Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam mentioned in an authentic narration that Gog Magog are Turkish in origins.

Thus, The White House is under tight grip of the Khazar Eastern European Jews who are all pro-Zionists. Names that we are familiar with; Henry Kissinger, Paul Wolfowitz and Madeleine Albright are all Eastern European Jews.

If research by Arthur Koestler is accurate, we can conclude beyond reasonable doubt that The White House is being invaded by non-Semitic Jews whose Khazar forefathers may be related to Biblical Gog and Magog. If the ancient Khazars (forefathers of today's Eastern European Jews according to Koestler) are indeed the Biblical Gog and Magog, we may be faced with a scary reality that Israel in particular and America are not under Jewish control, rather under Gog and Magog usurping as 'Jews'.

Suharto's crimes supported by America and Britain

'The New rulers of The World' is a documentary produced by a well known journalist, John Pilger revealing Suharto's criminal activities; among them, massacre of more than 1 million Indonesian people who opposed his regime, and theft of around $15 billion from Indonesian masses just before his fall, to be given to family members and cronies.

The documentary will open the World towards the suffering of Indonesian masses who are in extreme proverty while being exploited by Multinational corporations like Nike and GAP.

And more shockingly, how Suharto was put into power by CIA and the British Government in pursuing their Globalization programme. The West was eager to eradicate the influence of Sukarno, due to his anti-Western policy. The latter pressurized the World Bank and IMF to leave Indonesia while in power.

American Foreign Policy: The War against the Third World, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

This documentary reveals what you did not learn at school or see and hear on mainstream media.

It is about American state terrorism towards innocent civilians of Third World countries. This video shows illegal activities of The White House terrorists in submitting the whole Globe to their New World Order.

CIA in its 40 years of Global operations was responsible for the death of around 6 million innocent civilians. They are not perceived as 'terrorists' because they have power behind the American media to portray them as 'fighters of the free world'. Instead, much weaker terrorist Islamic groups are being exaggerated as threats to the free world and democracy. It is arguable that the rise of Islamic terrorists is a direct result of people like Bin Laden seeing their Muslim brethren being killed unjustly by 'real' terrorist groups like CIA, KGB and Mossad.

The U.S. media is under complete invasion of the Zionists, ever since the days of J.P. Morgan, under whose supervision, 12 most powerful media newspaper companies had been summoned to unite for the common goal of subverting free speech. J.P. Morgan is an agent of the Rothschild family.

CIA was involved in many Third World countries; political assasinations, takeovers of countries and massacre of the masses in Indonesia (helping Suharto to come into power), Iran (helping Shah Iran to throne), Vietnam, Nicaragua, Korea, Cambodia and various other Muslim countries.

The United States is in reality the Globe's greatest terrorist state! All oppressed people of the World! Let us unite in making our Globe a better place!

CIA responsible for the 1993 WTC bombing working with so-called Islamic fighters, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

This lecture was given by J.A. Calhoun, a Research consultant.

The video you are about to see has been banned and never to be reaired or resold.

The insider research consultant revealed what really had happened behind the bombing, and who had been behind the event.

Please watch here.

The Prophet Muhammad stated in an authentic narration that the Antichrist (Islamic 'Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal') will appear among the Kharijites. At the time of the 4 Caliphs, the Kharijites were known for their extremism and very rigid application of Islamic Law as well as their rebellions towards the just rulers. The Prophet prophesied the future reemergence of Kharijites in every period of Islam until the last among them will rejoin The Antichrist.

We urge the Muslims to return to the original Islam that was brought by the Prophet himself, Islam that is pure from polytheism, religious innovations and of course extremism.

The author, The UNIFOND Organization is currently preparing a book, touching among others the secret US-Iran military alliance and the future alliance between Israel and America with so-called Iranian Islamic fundamentalists, who are fooling the masses with their apparent hatred of the U.S. but collaborating with their 'enemy' to kill Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It has always been the tradition of the Kharijites to kill Muslims while letting non-Muslims live.

The West never gave enough credit to real Islamic scholars like Ibn Taimiyyah, Ibn Qayyim and their likes but instead popularised extreme and innovator ones like Khomeini.

Gog & Magog and Israeli terrorism in Palestine and Lebanon, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

Please visit this video link to have a glimpse of years of Israeli terrorism on the people of Palestine and Lebanon.

Are all Jews today really descendants of the Biblical Israelites? If that is so, why did several scholars, (among them a Jew himself called Arthur Koestler) write in their attempt to prove that majority of Jews today are not Semites? (Please read 'The Thirteenth Tribe' by Koestler)

The Thirteenth Tribe argues that around 90% of World Jewry who came originally from Eastern Europe in fact descended from a Turkic federation of tribes called The Khazars; they embraced Judaism in large numbers in 740 A.D. and over time became fervents followers of Torah and subsequently defenders of the International Jewry.

The founders of Zionism had all been non-Semitic Khazar Jews or Eastern European Jews as they later came to be known.

If majority of the Jews are not Semites, who are they then?

It's interesting to note that the Prophet Muhammad stated that Gog and Magog are Turkish tribes and very ferocious ones.

Ahmad Thomson, an authority on The End Times stated in his recent book 'The Next World Order':
'This answer of King Joseph is very significant, not only because it demonstrates conclusively that the Khazar Jews are not semitic, but also because, as we shall see in greater detail later on in this book, Insyaallah, the uncle of Togarma, according to Genesis 10.2-3, was Magog.
This means that it is highly likely that the prophecies in The Bible and in the Quran, together with the prophecies made by the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, concerning Gog and Magog, are directly relevant to the activities and destiny of the Khazar Jews.
... It is therefore clear that the Khazar Jews are not descended from any of the original twelve tribes that formed the original Tribe of Israel, but rather are directly related to the people of Gog and Magog.'

Please continue with his book here.

The video by Ted Pike called 'The Other Israel' gave quite a detailed account of the conversion of Khazars to Judaism. Please watch here.

Could 'Yajuj wa Majuj' of the Quran refer to present International Zionists, whose movement had been founded by Ashkenazic Eastern European Jews of Khazar origins? Could the ancient Khazars be the ancient Gog and Magog who had direct encounters with 'Zulqarnain' of the Quran?

Today, Zionists are in control of America, the Globe's only Superpower and together with their Masonic brethren control the World ultimately.

Einstein: Anti-Zionist Internationalist scientist

Albert Einstein (German pronunciation (help·info)) (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is widely regarded as the most important scientist of the 20th century and one of the greatest physicists of all time. He played a leading role in formulating the special and general theories of relativity; moreover, he made significant contributions to quantum theory and statistical mechanics. While best known for the Theory of Relativity (and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E=mc²), he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect in 1905 (his "wonderful year" or "miraculous year") and "for his services to Theoretical Physics".

Orthodox Jews Demand End to Zionist Atrocities in the Middle East

July 18 – New York

The brutal and indiscriminate attack upon the people and infrastructure of Lebanon by the Zionist State "Israel" is a crime against all basic standards of decency and humanity.

The excuse given for this murderous invasion was the attack by Hezbollah on the IDF. What this might have to do with the hundreds of thousands of Lebanese innocent men, women and children, who are subjected to an ongoing living hell, is beyond comprehension.

Indeed, this current aggression is only the second chapter of the recent viciousness; the first being the furious reinvasion of Gaza and the onslaught on its civilians and the ruination of its basic human services.

Of course, voices may be heard that the IDF are simply responding. This, of course, ignores the question of the evil, implicit in punishing blameless people for the deeds of others. And it totally ignores the root of the problem, the dispossession and subjugation of the Palestinian people which began in 1948, was expanded in 1967 and continues unabated to this day. The crux of the matter is that beyond the immorality of the Zionist treatment of the Palestinians is the ultimate fact -- the ideology of Zionism and ensuing establishment of the Zionist state conflicts with the basic teachings of Judaism.

Zionism is the transformation from Judaism, a G-dliness and spirituality, into a G-dlessness, materialism with nationalistic aspirations. Theodor Herzl and his cohorts, the fathers of this relatively new ideology of Zionism (approximately 100 years), have taken the Almighty out of the equation.

The ultimate establishment of the Zionist State, the fulfilment of the Zionist ideology, takes this blasphemy a step further. The Jewish people were sent into exile by Divine decree. They where then expressly commanded by the Almighty, not to attempt to leave their exilic existence through any human intervention. They were expressly forbidden to create their own state, such as the Zionist state of "Israel". (Talmud, Tractate Kesuboth, p.111).

The Jewish people are forbidden to oppress another people. The creation of the State of "Israel" came about through, the theft from, subjugation and oppression of, the Palestinian people.
Torah Jewry, therefore, condemns the horrifying suffering inflicted upon both the Palestinian and Lebanese people. Because of all of the above, all attempts to achieve peace and stability for "Israel" are destined to fail. The Creator cannot be defied with impunity.

The Rabbis stated, that the State of "Israel" will result in unending pain, suffering and bloodshed. May the Almighty protect His creations.

The State of "Israel" does not speak in the name of Jews, they have stolen the name "Israel" from the Jewish people. Jews are commanded to be loyal citizens in every country in which they reside.

Zionism and the State of "Israel", is the main cause of the exacerbation of anti Semitism universally.

The government of the illegitimate State of "Israel", continually attempts to uproot the Torah and its statutes. They persistently oppress the Torah true Jews who reside in its borders.

We pray that all misery in the Holy Land and Lebanon, shall come to an end and that Zionism, the root of the suffering, continue to fade from Jewish consciousness, to be replaced by the faith of Torah. We shall all witness soon the peaceful dismantlement of the Zionist State "Israel".

May we merit seeing the day when all humanity will serve the Almighty in harmony and peace.

Amen

Neturei Karta: Our brothers in Judaism, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

From my experience mixing with Jews in Prestwich, Manchester in particular with Rabbi David Ebbing of the Hasidic sect, not all Jews are Zionists and enemies of Islam, although majority are.
A small minority of the Jews, such as those from Neturei Karta, oppose strictly State of Israel calling it an unjust and illegitimate state, and believe that non-Jews can also be saved in the Next World provided they do not associate God with anything.

Chief Rabbi of the British Jews, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks a few years ago condemned openly Israel's violent policy towards Palestinians, arguing that State of Israel's actions do not comply with the teachings of Torah and Judaism. He was labelled 'heretic' by fellow Rabbis from other denominations.

It is essential that Muslims and Christians understand the differences between Judaism as a religion that was brought originally by revelation from God to Moses, and Zionism that is a modern political ideology that was propounded by the atheist Theodor Herzl who (based on recent evidence uncovered by researchers) was actually an anti-semite.

Sincere Muslims and Christians must make alliance with non-Zionist Jews and make this Globe a better place, for we have a common enemy standing before us. The Zionists are not enemies of the Muslims only but enemies of Mankind.

Bearing that in mind, we would like to reiterate the fact that the first martyr of Zionist oppression in Palestine was an anti-Zionist orthodox Jew, not a Palestinian. He was murdered brutally in the 1920's by the Haganah.

For further information, please visit Neturei Karta's War on Judaism. It is a lecture given by an American Rabbi touching the real nature of Zionism and how it opposes Judaism, as well as the atheistic history of the former. The Rabbi stated that the Jews have no rights to Palestine and that the Jewish Rabbi of Jerusalem (before foundation of Israel in 1948) objected to establishment of the Jewish state.

Prophet Muhammad in Hindu Scriptures, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

God stated in the Quran that 'and to every nation there was sent a messenger', the verse proved God's mercy towards all nations of the Globe. Most messengers were sent to Children of Israel, though.

The Last Messenger, Muhammad was born an Arab but his message was Universal, his divine mission was to save the whole Mankind from the hell fire.

Several scholars through intensive research discovered prophecies of the Prophet Muhammad in the Bible as well as in Hindu and Zoroastrian scriptures.

In the lecture below, an Indian sub-continent scholar of Islam, gave revealing account of the prophecies of the advent of Muhammad in the Hindu scriptures:

Introducing Paul Findley, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

Paul Findley served in Capitol Hill for 22 years during which time he encountered strong Zionist lobby inside The White House. He had written several best-selling books, among them is 'They Dare To Speak Out' which sold out millions of copies worldwide, revealing how America is under occupation of foreigners who have interest in Israel. The book is very much worth reading because it came from a high level American government insider attempting to oppose Israeli domination in American political decision making.

Findley argues that America has changed due to her invasion by the Zionists.

'They Dare To Speak Out' is a treasure for Conspiracy theorists worldwide.

The Senator is well respected among American senates as well as leaders from among Christian and Muslim worlds. Findley is a supporter of Palestinian opposition towards their injustice. He is a hero to those who fight for freedom.

Profile of the 'Christian Evangelist terrorist' George W. Bush, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

We have compiled here resources on the terrorist activities of Bush, from the US Intelligence planned attack on The Twin Towers on September 11, to slaughtering of millions of innocent civilians in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq and recently Lebanon.

For the attention of readers, George W. Bush is a 'born again Christian', the term well known to fundamentalist Masonic Christians, denoting the initiation of new members into their (Masonic) form of Christianity.

The Evangelical Christian Movement of Bush can be traced back to The Crusades and The Knights Templars under whose occupation of Palestine in 1066 A.D., 60 000 Palestinian civilians had been ruthlessly slaughtered. And today, their descendants while holding the highest level of American governmental positions are lauching the same Crusades, towards not just Palestine but also Afghanistan, Lebanon and Iraq.

We believe that the American occupation of the Muslim world is just continuation of centuries long Crusades between Anti-messianic Christians and the Muslims.

Truely, The White House is under occupation of Fundamentalist 'Anti-christian' Christians, working in collaboration with Israel. Both together with Iran are waiting for the same Messiah; Christ, Moshiach and The Twelth Imam may possibly be the same person.

The 1948 Deir Yassin Massacre and Gog and Magog, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

Despite being one of the greatest tragedies befalling the Muslims, the massacre also served the mission of Zionists in establishing the terrorist State of Israel. They strove hard to drive away the Arabs from their homeland in order to make way clear for the Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. Two Zionist terrorist organizations, Irgun and Haganah were resposible for the 1948 carnage, killing hundreds of innocent men, women and children while leaving many orphans.

Terrorism of this nature and degree was unheard of among the Jews living during the Prophet Muhammad's time. What kind of Jews are today's Jews? Why are they much more cruel and violent in treating non-Jews? Is it just to generalize all Jews as enemies of Islam?

The Quran in Chapter of the Cave (Arabic 'Surah Al-Kahf') made mention of the ferocious tribes called Gog and Magog who were locked up behind thick wall made of copper, built by a just Emperor named by God Himself as 'The Two-Horned One', and that one day the wall shall collapse clearing the way for Gog and Magog to terrorize the lands.

Why did the Prophet Muhammad advise the Muslims to read the last 10 verses of Chapter of the Cave, as protection from the Antichrist (Islamic 'Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal')? What possible relationship exists between the Antichrist (whom the Prophet mentioned would be a Jew) and Gog and Magog? In order to answer that, we may have to research further on the World Jewry today.

Jews today constitute two main ethnic groups, first are called the Sephardim, those who came from the Middle East and had been Jews since the time of Moses and the prophets. They are considered the original Biblical Jews, descendants of the Hebrews and also of those Jews in Arabia who had direct encounters with the Prophet Muhammad. Most can speak Arabic with fluency and are well versed with Arab culture, they generally live in peace with their Arab neighbours.

And the second group are called the Ashkenazim, they reside mainly in Eastern Europe as well as various parts of North America and many can now be found in Israel; the Ashkenazic Jews speak Yiddish as their mother tongue.

It is interesting to note that Ashkenazim, being majority of today's Jews, were the main force behind the Zionist movement. Theodor Herl, the Zionist visionary is an Ashkenazic Jew. Those terrorists responsible for the Deir Yassin massacre were all Ashkenazic Jews too.

According to Arthur Koestler, the author of The Thirteenth Tribe, Ashkenazic Jews descended originally from Turkish tribes collectively called The Khazars. Around 740 A.D., their King embraced Judaism as a well planned strategy to maintain Khazaria as a buffer state between the Islamic Abbasid Caliphate and the Christian Byzantium. The conversion was not religious in motive at all.

Over time the Khazar converted Jews began to really consider themselves as biological descendants of Abraham, although in fact they are descendants of Togarmah, descendant of Japheth, Father of the Turks. Abraham was a Semite and direct offspring of Sam, son of Noah. Eventually the Khazars began to establish their Judaic Khazar Empire around the Black Sea.

They were so powerful that even the fierce Vikings around them feared their military might. The vast Jewish empire was destroyed a few centuries later due to military alliance between the Byzantium and the Vikings, and since then the Khazars moved westward towards Europe, and were subsequently known as the Ashkenazim.

Are Ashkenazic Jews of today descendants of the ancient Gog and Magog? Is God through Chapter of the Cave informing Humanity about the coming Zionist Movement, by mentioning the barbarity of Gog and Magog? Is the term 'Anti-semitism' a misnomer? Shall it be replaced with 'Anti-Khazarism'? Are not the Arabs purer semites compared to majority of Jews who are Turkish in origin? These are the questions that need serious research and pondering by us all.

The Prophet Muhammad warning about The Antichrist, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

The Last Messenger to Humanity did warn about The Beast of the Bible who will emerge and terrorize and conquer every city except Makkah and Madinah. The False Messiah (Arabic 'Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal') according to the Prophet will appear as a young person with deformed physical characteristics; he will be blind on his right eye and his left eye which he sees with will be shining green.

And apart from appearing between Syria and Iraq and making his appearance known in Isfahan, he will have a large following of the Jews (Zionists?), women (feminists?), illegitimate children and the Bedouins (according to Wikipedia, the Shiites of today are religious descendants of Bedouin Kharijites who had infiltrated Shiism after death of Ali) and will bring his own religion, with him as the Deity.

Here, we have compiled authentic narrations from Sahih Muslim, the third most authentic source of Islamic Religion regarding the Prophet's predictions of the future, in particular the coming of the one-eyed Antichrist.

We urge Humanity, from any religions and backgrounds to take heed of the predictions of the Prophet, as we may sometimes take heed of later Prophecy figures like Nostradamus. We will see that so many of these prophecies had come into being, indeed the Prophet did not speak from his own desires. A few coincide with what Nostradamus had prophesied.

*'Allah' is the Arabic for God

PERTAINING TO THE CONQUEST OF CONSTANTINOPLE AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE ANTICHRIST AND DESCENT OF JESUS SON OF MARY (JESUS CHRIST)

Book 041, Number 6924:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army). which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's eye, would be killed ani the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Antichrist has taken your place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).

THERE WOULD BE MUCH BLOODSHED AMONG ROMANS AT THE TIME OF THE APPEARANCE OF THE ANTICHRIST

Book 041, Number 6927:
Yusair b. Jabir reported: Once there blew a red storm in Kufah that there came a person who had nothing to say but (these words): Abdullah b. Mas'ud, the Last Hour has come. He ('Abdullah b. Mas'ud) was sitting reclining against something, and he said: The Last Hour would not come until the people divide in- heritance and rejoice over booty, and then said pointing towards Syria, with the gesture of his hand like this: The enemy shall muster strength against Muslims and the Muslims will muster strength against them (Syrians). I said: You mean Rome? And he said: Yes, and there would be a terrible fight and the Muslims would prepare a detachment (for fighting unto death) which would not return but victorious. They will fight until night will intervene them; both the sides will return without being victorious and both will be wiped out. The Muslims will again prepare a detachment for fighting unto death so that they may not return but victorious. When it would be the fourth day, a new detachment out of the remnant of the Muslims would be prepared and Allah will decree that the enemy should be routed. And they would fight such a fight the like of which would not be seen, so much so that even if a bird were to pass their flanks, it would fall down dead before reaching the end of them. (There would be such a largescale massacre) that when counting would be done, (only) one out of a hundred men related to one another would be found alive. So what can be the joy at the spoils of such war and what inheritance would be divided! They would be in this very state that they would hear of a calamity more horrible than this. And a cry would reach them: The Antichrist has taken your place among your off-spring. They will, therefore, throw away what would be in their hands and go forward sending ten horsemen, as a scouting party. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I know their names and the names of their forefathers and the colour of their horses. They will be best horsemen on the surface of the earth on that day or amongst the best horsemen on the surface of the earth on that day.

THE CONQUESTS OF THE MUSLIMS BEFORE THE APPEARANCE OF THE ANTICHRIST

Book 041, Number 6930:
Nafi' b. Utba reported: We were with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) in an expedition that there came a people to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woollen clothes and they stood near a hillock and they met him as Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was sitting. I said to myself: Better go to them and stand between him and them that they may not attack him. Then I thought that perhaps there had been going on secret negotiation amongst them. I however, went to them and btood between them and him and I remember four of the words (on that occasion) which I repeat (on the fingers of my hand) that he (Allah's Messenger) said: You will attack Arabia and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack Persia and He would make you to Conquer it. Then you would attack Rome and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack the Antichrist and Allah will enable you to conquer him. Nafi' said: Jabir, we thought that the Antichrist would appear after Rome (Syrian territory) would be conquered.

ACCOUNT OF THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS FEATURES AND WHAT WOULD BE ALONG WITH HIM

Book 041, Number 7005:
Ibn Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). made a mention of the Antichrist in the presence of the people and said: Allah is not one-eyed and behold that the Antichrist is blind on the right eye and his eye would be like a floating grape.
Book 041, Number 7006:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar through another chain of transmitters.
Book 041, Number 7007:

Book 041, Number 7012:
'Uqba b. 'Amr Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari reported: I went to Hudhaifa b. Yaman and said to him: Narrate what you have heard from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) pertaining to the Antichrist. He said that the Antichrist would appear and there would be along with him water ant fire and what the people would see as water that would be fire and that would burn and what would appear as fire that would be water and any one of you who would see that should plunge in that which he sees as fire for it would be sweet, pure water, and 'Uqba said: I also heard it, testifying Hudhaifa.
Book 041, Number 7013:
Hudhaifa and Ibn Mas'ud met together. Hudhaifa said: I know more than you as to what there would be along with the Antichrist. There would be along with him two canals (one flowing with water) and the other one (having) fire (within it), and what you would see as fire would be water and what you would see as water would be fire. So he who amongst you is able to see that and is desirous of water should drink out of that which he sees as fire.
Book 041, Number 7014:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: May I not inform you about the Antichrist what no Apostle of Allah narrated to his people? He would be blind and he would bring along with him an Image of Paradise and Hell-Fire and what he would call as Paradise that would be Hell-Fire and I warn you as Noah warned his people.
Book 041, Number 7015:
An-Nawwas b. Sam'an reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) made a mention of the Antichrist one day in the morning. He sometimes described him to be insignificant and sometimes described (his turmoil) as very significant rand we felt) as if he were in the cluster of the date-palm trees. When we went to him (to the Holy Prophet) in the evening and he read (the signs of fear) in our faces, he said: What is the matter with you? We said: Allah's Messenger, you made a mention of the Antichrist in the morning (sometimes describing him) to be insignificant and sometimes very important, until we began to think as if he were present in some (near) part of the cluster of the date palm trees. Thereupon he said: I harbour fear in regard to you in so many other things besides the Antichrist. If he comes forth while I am among on, I shall contend with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth while I am not amongst you, a man must contend on his own behalf and Allah would take care of every Muslim on my behalf (and safeguard him against his evil). He (Antichrist) would be a young man with twisted, contracted hair, and a blind eye. I compare him to 'Abd-ul-'Uzza b. Qatan. He who amongst you would survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Sura Kahf (xviii.). He would appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and would spread mischief right and left. O servant of Allah! adhere (to the path of Truth). We said: Allah's Messenger, how long would he stay on the earth? He said.. For forty days, one day like a year and one day like a month and one day like a week and the rest of the days would be like your days. We said: Allah's Messenger, would one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of day equal to one year? Thereupon he said: No, but you must make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer). We said: Allah's Messenger, how quickly would he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he said: Like cloud driven by the wind. He would come to the people and invite them (to a wrong religion) and they would affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He would then give command to the sky and there would be rainfall upon the earth and it would grow crops. Then in the evening, their posturing animals would come to them with their humps very high and their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched. He would then come to another people and invite them. But they would reject him and he would go away from them and there would be drought for them and nothing would be lef t with them in the form of wealth.
He would then walk through the waste, land and say to it: Bring forth your treasures, and the treasures would come out and collect (themselves) before him like the swarm of bees. He would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness) and it would at this very time that Allah would send Christ, son of Mary, and he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he would lower his head, there would fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he would raise it up, beads like pearls would scatter from it. Every non-believer who would smell the odour of his self would die and his breath would reach as far as he would be able to see. He would then search for him (Antichrist) until he would catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd and would kill him. Then a people whom Allah had protected would come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that Allah would reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur, and then Allah would send Gog and Magog and they would swarm down from every slope. The first of them would pass the lake of Tiberius and drink out of it. And when the last of them would pass, he would say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions would then be besieged here (at Tur, and they would be so much hard pressed) that the head of the ox would be dearer to them than one hundred dinirs and Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would supplicate Allah, Who would send to them insects (which would attack their necks) and in the morning they would perish like one single person. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then come down to the earth and they would not find in the earth as much space as a single span which is not filled with their putrefaction and stench. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then again beseech Allah, Who would send birds whose necks would be like those of bactrin camels and they would carry them and throw them where God would will.
Then Allah would send rain which no house of clay or (the tent of) camels' hairs would keep out and it would wash away the earth until it could appear to be a mirror. Then the earth would be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, there would grow (such a big) pomegranate that a group of persons would be able to eat that, and seek shelter under its skin and milch cow would give so much milk that a whole party would be able to drink it. And the milch camel would give such (a large quantity of) milk that the whole tribe would be able to drink out of that and the milch sheep would give so much milk that the whole family would be able to drink out of that and at that time Allah would send a pleasant wind which would soothe (people) even under their armpits, and would take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them.
Book 041, Number 7016:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition that Gog and Magog would walk until they would reach the mountain of al-Khamar and it is a mountain of Bait-ul-Maqdis and they would say: We have killed those who are upon the earth. Let us now kill those who are In the sky and they would throw their arrows towards the sky and the arrows would return to them besmeared with blood. And in the narration of Ibn Hujr (the words are):" I have sent such persons (Gog and Magog) that none would dare fight against them.

THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE ANTICHRIST AND A BAN ON HIS ENTRY TO MADINAH AND HIS KILLING OF A BELIEVER AND THEN RESTORING HIM TO LIFE

Book 041, Number 7017:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) one day gave a detailed account of the Antichrist and in that it was also included: He would come but would not be allowed to ether the mountain passes to Madinah. So he will alight at some of the barren tracts near Madinah, and a person who would be the best of men or one from amongst the best of men would say to him: I bear testimony to the fact that you are the Antichrist about whom Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had informed us. The Antichrist would say: What is your opinion if I kill this (person), then I bring him back to life; even then will you harbour doubt in this matter? They would say: No. He would then kill (the man) and then bring him back to life. When he would bring that person to life, he would say: By Allah, I had no better proof of the fact (that you are the Antichrist) than at the present time (that you are actually so). The Antichrist would then make an attempt to kill him (again) but he would not be able to do that. Abu Ishaq reported that it was said: That person would be Khidir (Allah be pleased with him).

Book 041, Number 7019:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Antichrist would come forth and a person from amongst the believers would go towards him and the armed men of the Antichrist would meet him and they would say to him: Where do you intend to go? He would say: I intend to go to this one who is coming forth. They would say to him: Don't you believe in our Lord? He would say: There is nothing hidden about our Lord. They would say: Kill him. Then some amongst them would say: Has your master (Antichrist) not forbidden you to kill anyone without (his consent)? And so they would take him to the Antichrist and when the believer would see him, he would say: O people, he is the Antichrist about whom Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) has informed (us). The Antichrist would then order for breaking his head and utter (these words): Catch hold of him and break his head. He would be struck even on his back and on his stomach. Then the Antichrist would ask him: Don't you believe in me? He would say: You are a false Messiah. He would then order him to be torn (into pieces) with a saw from the parting of his hair up to his legs. After that the Antichrist would walk between the two pieces. He would then say to him: Stand, and he would stand erect. He would then say to him: Don't you believe in me? And the person would say: It has only added to my insight concerning you (that you are really the Antichrist). He would then say: O people, he would not behave with anyone amongst people (in such a manner) after me. The Antichrist would try to catch hold of him so that he should kill him (again). The space between his neck and collar bone would be turned into copper and he would find no means to kill him. So he would catch hold of him by his hand and feet and throw him (into the air) and the people would think as if he had been thrown in the Hell-Fire whereas he would be thrown in Paradise. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He would be the most eminent amongst persons in regard to martyrdom in the eye of the Lord of the world.

THE ANTICHRIST WOULD BE VERY INSIGNIFICANT IN THE EYE OF ALLAH, THE MAJESTIC AND GLORIOUS

Book 041, Number 7020:
Mughira b. Shu'ba reported: No one asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) more about the Antichrist than I asked him. He said: He should not be a source of worry to you for he would not be able to do any harm to you. I said: Allah's Messenger, it is alleged that he would have along with him (abundance of) food and water. Thereupon he said: He would be very insignificant in the eye of Allah (even) with all this.
Book 041, Number 7021:
Mughira b. Shu'ba reported that none asked Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) about the Antichrist more than I asked him. I (one of the narrators other than Mughlra b. Shu'ba) said: What'did you ask? Mughira replied: I said that the people alleged that he would have a mountain load of bread and mutton and rivers of water. Thereupon he said: He would be more insignificant in the eye of Allah compared with all this.

THE APPEARANCE OF THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS STAY UPON THE EARTH AND THE DESCENT OF JESUS AND HIS KILLING HIM (ANTICHRIST) AND THE DEPARTURE OF GOOD PEOPLE OF STRONG CONVICTION AND THE SURVIVAL OF THE WICKED PEOPLE AND THE WORSHIP OF IDOLS AND THE BLOWING OF THE TRUMPET AND THE RAISING UP FROM THE GRAVES

Book 041, Number 7023:
'Abdullah b. 'Amr reported that a person came to him and said: What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Antichrist would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty-I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no ran. cour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his heath. I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the charactertistics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then the Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend hfs neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered." (lxviii. 42).
Book 041, Number 7024:
Ya'qub b. 'Asim b. Urwa b. Mas'ud reported: I heard a person saying to 'Abdullah b. Amr: You say that the Last Hour would come at such and such time, whereupon he said: I had made up my mind that I would not narrate anything to you. I only said: But you would soon see after some time a very significant affair, for example the burning of the House (Ka'ba). Shu'ba said like this and 'Abdullah b Amr reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said: The Antichrist would appear in my Ummah. And in another hadith (the words are): None would survive who would have even a speck of faith in his heart, but he would be dead. Muhammad b. ja'far reported that Shu'ba narrated to him this hadith many a time and I also read it out to him many a time.
Book 041, Number 7025:
Abdullah b. 'Amr reported: I committed to memory a hadith from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and I did not forget it after I had heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The first sign (nut of the signs of the appearance of the Antichrist) would be the appearance of the sun from the west, the appearance of the beast before the people in the forenoon and which of the two hap-pens first, the second one would follow immediately after that.
Book 041, Number 7026:
Abu Zur'a reported that three persons amongst Muslims had been sitting in Medina in the presence of Marwan b. Hakam and they heard him narrate these signs from him and the first amongst them was the appearance of the Antichrist. 'Abdullah b. 'Amr reported that Marwin said nothing (particular in this connection). I, however, heard a hadith from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and I did not forget that after I had heard that from Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and he reported a hadith like the foregoing.
Book 041, Number 7027:
Abu Zur'a reported that there was a discussion in the presence of Marwan about the Last Hour, and Abdullah b. 'Amr said: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying. The rest of the hadith is the same, but there is no mention of forenoon.

THE NARRATION PERTAINING TO THE SPY OF THE ANTICHRIST

Book 041, Number 7028:
Amir b. Sharahil Sha'bi Sha'b Hamdan reported that he asked Fatima, daughter of Qais and sister of ad-Dahhak b. Qais and she was the first amongst the emigrant women: Narrate to me a hadith which you had heard directly from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and there is no extra link in between them. She said: Very well, if you like, I am prepared to do that, and he said to her: Well, do It and narrate that to me. She said: I married the son of Mughira and he was a chosen young man of Quraish at that time, but he fell as a martyr in the first Jihad (fighting) on the side of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). When I became a widow, 'Abd al-Rahman b. Auf, one amongst the group of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), sent me the proposal of marriage. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) also sent me such a message for his freed slave Usama b. Zaid. And it had been conveyed to me that Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) had said (about Usama): He who loves me should also love Usima. When Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) talked to me (about this matter), I said: My affairs are in your hand. You may marry me to anyone whom you like. He said: You better shift now to the house of Umm Sharik, and Umm Sharik was a rich lady from amongst the Anqir. She spent generously for the cause of Allah and entertained guests very hospitably. I said: Well, I will do as you like. He said: Do not do that for Umm Sharik is a woman who is very frequently vizited by guests and I do not like that your head may be uncovered or the cloth may be removed from your shank and the strangers may catch sight of them which you abhor. You better shift to the house of your cousin 'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. Umm Maktum and he is a person of the Bani Fihr branch of the Quraish, and he belonged to that tribe (to which Fatima) belonged. So I shifted to that house, and when my period of waiting was over, I heard the voice of an announcer making an announcement that the prayer would be observed in the mosque (where) congregational prayer (is observed).
So I set out towards that mosque and observed prayer along with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and I was in the row of the women which was near the row of men. When Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had finished his prayer, he sat on the pulpit smiling and said: Every worshipper should keep sitting at his place. He then said: Do you know why I had asked you to assemble? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: By Allah. I have not made you assemble for exhortation or for a warning, but I have detained you here, for Tamim Dari, a Christian, who came and accepted Islam, told me something, which agrees with what I was-telling, you about the Antichrist. He narrated to me that he had sailed in a ship along with thirty men of Bani Lakhm and Bani Judham and had been tossed by waves in the ocean for a month. Then these (waves) took them (near) the land within the ocean (island) at the time of sunset. They sat in a small side-boat and entered that Island. There was a beast with long thick hair (and because of these) they could not distinguish his face from his back. They said: Woe to you, who can you be? Thereupon it said: I am al-Jassasa. They said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: O people, go to this person in the monastery as he is very much eager to know about you. He (the narrator) said: When it named a person for us we were afraid of it lest it should be a Devil. Then we hurriedly went on till we came to that monastery and found a well-built person there with his hands tied to his neck and having iron shackles between his two legs up to the ankles. We said: Woe be upon thee, who are you? And he said: You would soon come to know about me but tell me who are you. We said: We are people from Arabia and we embarked upon a boat but the sea-waves had been driving us for one month and they brought as near this island. We got into the side-boats and entered this island and here a beast met us with profusely thick hair and because of the thickness of his hair his face could not be distinguished from his back. We said: Woe be to thee, who are you? It said: I am al- Jassasa. We said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: You go to this very person in the monastery for he is eagerly waiting for you to know about you. So we came to you in hot haste fearing that that might be the Devil. He (that chained person) said: Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baisan. We said: About what aspect of theirs do you seek information? He said: I ask you whether these trees bear fruit or not.
We said: Yes. Thereupon he said: I think these would not bear fruits. He said: Inform me about the lake of Tabariyya? We said: Which aspect of it do you want to know? He said: Is there water in it? They said: There is abundance of water in it. Thereupon he said: I think it would soon become dry. He again said: Inform me about the spring of Zughar. They said: Which aspect of it you want to know? He (the chained person) said: Is there water in it and does it irrigate (the land)? We said to him: Yes, there is abundance of water in it and the inhabitants (of Medina) irrigate (land) with the help of it, He said: Inform me about the unlettered Prophet; what has he done? We said: He has come out from Makkah and has settled In Yathrib (Madinah). He said: Do the Arabs fight against him? We said: Yes. He said: How did they deal with him? We informed him that he had overcome those in his neighbourhood and they had submitted themselves before him. Thereupon he said to us: Had it actually happened? We said: Yes. Thereupon he said: If it is so that is better for them that they should show obedience to him. I am going to tell you about myself and I am the Antichrist and would be soon permitted to get out and so I shall get out and travel in the land, and will not spare any town where I would not stay for forty nights except Makkah and Madinah as these two (places) are prohibited (areas) for me and I would not make an attempt to enter any one of these two. An angel with a sword in his hand would confront me and would bar my way and there would be angels to guard every passage leading to it; then Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) striking the pulpit with the help of the end of his staff said: This implies Taiba meaning Madinah. Have I not, told you an account (of the Antichrist) like this? 'The people said: Yes, and this account narrated by Tamim Dari was liked by me for it corroborates the account which I gave to you in regard to him (Antichrist) at Madinah and Makkah. Behold he (Antichrist) is in the Syrian sea (Mediterranean) or the Yemen sea (Arabian sea). Nay, on the contrary, he is in the east, he is in the east, he is in the east, and he pointed with his hand towards the east. I (Fatima bint Qais) said: I preserved it In my mind (this narration from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).
Book 041, Number 7029:
Al-Sha'bi reported: We visited Fatima b. Qais and she served us fresh dates which are called rutab and she also served us barley. I asked her about that woman in whose case three divorces had been pronounced as to how much time she should count as the waiting period. She said: My husband pronounced three divorces in my case and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) permitted me to spend any waiting period in my family. (It was during this period) that announcement was made for the people to observe prayer in the bigger Mosque. I went there along with people and I was in the front row meant for women and it was adjacent to the last row of men and I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) deliver sermon sitting on the pulpit. He said: The cousin of Tamim (Dari) sailed in the ocean. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this addition:" (I see) as if I am looking to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) pointing his rod towards the land (and saying): It is Taiba, i. e. Medina."
Book 041, Number 7030:
Tamim Dari came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and informed Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) that he sailed in an ocean and his ship lost direction and thus landed at an island. They moved about in that land in search of water. There they saw a person who had been pulling his hair. The rest of the hadith is the same. And he (Antichrist) said: If I were to be permitted to set out I would have covered all the lands except Taiba. Then Allah's Messerger (may peace be upon him) brought (Tamim Dari) before the public and he narrated to them and said: That is Taiba and that is the Antichrist.
Book 041, Number 7031:
Fatima b. Qais reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) sat on the pulpit and said: O people, Tamim Dari has reported to me that some persons of his tribe sailed in the ocean in a boat and it capsized and then some of them travelled on one of the planks of the boat and they went to an island in the ocean. The rest of the hadith is the same.
Book 041, Number 7032:
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There will be no land which would not be covered by the Antichrist but Makkah and Madinah, and there would no passage out of the passages leading to them which would not be guarded by angels arranged in rows. Then he (the Antichrist) would appear in a barren place adjacent to Madinah and it would rock three times that every unbeliever and hypocrite would get out of it towards him.
Book 041, Number 7033:
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Anas that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said this but with this addition that (the Antichrist would come) and pitch his tent in the waste-land of Juruf and thus there would come out of (the city) every hypocrite, man and woman.

THE REMAINING NARRATIONS PERTAINING TO THE ANTICHRIST

Book 041, Number 7034:
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Antichrist would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls.
Book 041, Number 7035:
Umm Sharik reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The people would run away from the Antichrist seeking shelter in the mountains. She said: Where would be the Arabs then in that day? He said: They would be small in number.
Book 041, Number 7036:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Juraij with the same chain of transmitters.
Book 041, Number 7037:
Abu Qatada reported: We used to go to Imran b. Husain passing in front of Hisham b. 'Amir. He, one day, said: You pass by me (in order) to go to some persons but (amongst the living persons) none remained in the company of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) more than I and none knows more narrations than I. I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There would be no creation (creating more trouble) than the Antichrist right from the creation of Adam to the Last Hour.

Presence of Freemasonry in Malaysia, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

Freemasonry, considered a philanthropy organization working for the good of Malaysian society was banned in the 1970's due to pressure of several Islamic figures inside the Malaysian Parliament at the time. They argued that the Organization was being used to further the plans of the Zionists in their Global Conquest by using charity, based on The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Freemasonry arrived in Malaysia by way of the British officers working here from the late 19th century.

However, it began to resurface in the form of other Masonic fronts like Rotary Club and Lion Club. The highest Government leader ever being a Rotarian is arguably Tun Dr. Mahathir himself, who had been 'openly' active in lashing out at the Jewish conspirators and the West.

According to Maurice Pinay's The Plot Against The Church, the Founders of Freemasonry were Jews, although not believers in Torah nor Elohim (God in Hebrew).

We cannot help but wonder whether Dr. Mahathir's anti-Jewish remarks about the Jews were sincere or just rhetorical?

We stand firmly on the principle that Jews and Zionists are different. We are not against peace loving Jews worshipping God in synagogues, our enemies are the Zionists who had usurped the Judaic religion and now stealing Palestine of the Arabs using Torah as their source, even when many of them are in fact atheists.

There is no evidence so far regarding Anwar Ibrahim's involvement in such secret societies. We are still conducting research on the present UMNO leaders relating to any ties with Masonic organizations.

Despite being formally banned a few decades ago, Freemasonry itself still exists but in deep secrecy. In Malaysia, Masons are based at Dewan Freemason, 213 Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 Kuala Lumpur according to Review of Freemasonry.

The present Libyan President is Jewish by origin, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

As startling as the discovery of Theodor Herzl to be an anti-semite, recent evidence from The Jerusalem Jewish Voice stated: 'Yet the Rebbe might indeed have become Messiah Now. A Chabad L'Chayim tract told the tale of Rav Levi Yitzchak of Berditchav, who took his pupils to visit a notorious murderous anti-semite. After the latter failed to kill them, he broke down, admitted his Jewish origins, and repented on the spot. Gaddafi has a Jewish mother and is thus Jewish. If the Rebbe would have left his headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway and flown to Libya, his holy soul might have pierced Gaddafi's hard shell and reached his Jewish soul. Then Gaddafi would have appeared on satellite TV and brought the Moslems back to Torah, dragging the Christians in their wake. Then the Rebbe could have them all from Jerusalem's Capital TV Studios.'

According to Nodeworks Encyclopedia, Gaddafi's 'mother was a Jew converted to Islam at age nine. This technically makes Qaddafi Jewish according to Judaism.'

Indeed contrary to his open confrontational stand against the State of Israel, looking at his Jewish background.

Resources on Islam based on the Quran and the Sunnah as brought by the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad, by University of Southern California

*'Allah' is Arabic word for God.

In 610 CE, Allah ordained the final Prophet He would send to earth. Over five centuries had passed since the previous Prophet He sent, Jesus the son of Mary. This final Prophet was Muhammad son of Abdullah. Though Muhammad (pbuh) was born in the Arabian peninsula, he was sent to all of humanity. He was commissioned to deliver a message from Allah to Arabs and non-Arabs alike.

The message was the same one which Allah had sent down to the earliest humans. It contained a description of the way of life which Allah had established for people to follow while they lived here on earth. By agreeing to follow this way of life, people would essentially be submitting themselves to Allah. The name of this way of life was simply 'submission'. In Arabic, this is Islam (pronounced "Islam"). Today, Islam is found in all parts of the world, and its adherents are known as Muslims.

The message of Islam was conveyed in only two ways: in the form of a book, and in the living example of the Prophet. These two are the basis for a way of life which is acceptable to both mind and heart - it is neither illogical nor impersonal. It is in fact the only true way of life revealed from the Creator. The scope of this way of life is vast enough that it transcends the traditional notion of 'religion'. Islam includes submitting to Allah in the realm of politics, economics, law, etc.

Whoever wishes to understand Islam can only start at one place: the Oneness and Uniqueness of Allah. This is the essence of the creed of Islam, and no other creed on earth approaches its power and elegance. Scholars have written at length on the beliefs of Islam (e.g. Ibn Taimiyyah and at-Tahawi), but the core belief is undisputed:
Sahih Bukhari - Volume 9, Book 93, Number 470:Narrated Mu'adh bin Jabal:The Prophet said, "O Mu'adh! Do you know what Allah's Right upon His slaves is?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." The Prophet said, "To worship Him (Allah) Alone and to join none in worship with Him (Allah). Do you know what their right upon Him is?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know best." The Prophet said, "Not to punish them (if they do so)."

THE LAST HOUR WOULD NOT COME UNTIL THE EUPHRATES UNCOVERS A TREASURE OF GOLD

*'Allah' is God in Arabic.
Gold may possibly refer to 'black gold' i.e. oil.

Book 041, Number 6918:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour would not come before the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold, for which people would fight. Ninety-nine out of each one hundred would die but every man amongst them would say that perhaps he would be the one who would be saved (and thus possess this gold).

Book 041, Number 6919:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Suhail with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition:" My father said: If you see that, do not even go near it."

Book 041, Number 6920:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour would not come unless the Euphrates would uncover a treasure of gold, so he who finds it should not take anything out of that.

Book 041, Number 6921:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Euphrates would soon uncover a mountain of gold but he who is present there should not take anything from that.

Book 041, Number 6922:
'Abdullah b. Harith b. Naufal reported: I was standing along with Ubayy b. Ka, b and he said: The opinions of the people differ in regard to the achievement of worldly ends. I said: Yes, of course. Thereupon he said: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Euphrates would soon uncover a mountain of gold and when the people would bear of it they would flock towards it but the people who would possess that (treasure) (would say): If we allow these persons to take out of it they would take away the whole of it. So they would fight and ninety-nine out of one hundred would be killed. Abu Kamil in his narration said: I and Abu Ka'b stood under the shade of the battlement of Hassan.

Book 041, Number 6923:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Iraq would withhold its dirhams and qafiz; Syria would withhold its mudd and dinar and Egypt would withhold its irdab and dinar and you would recoil to that position from where you started and you would recoil to that position from where you started and you would recoil to that position from where you started, the bones and the flesh of Abu Huraira would bear testimony to it.

The former PM of Malaysia is a Rotarian, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

Despite his apparent criticisms of the Jews and the West, Tun Dr. Mahathir, the former Malaysian PM, is a Rotarian according to Rotary International District 3270. He also gave a speech for the Rotarians attending the 65th Rotary International District 3300 Conference held in Shangri-La, Kuala Lumpur.

In the words of Rotary Global History Fellowship: 'We know that many of the early Rotarians were Masons and that, according to C.R. Hewitt in 'Towards My Neighbour', some Rotary clubs recruited exclusively from Freemasons until the practice was banned in the 1920s', thus proving a possible link between Global Freemasonry and Rotary International.

It was The Knights Templers of the Temple of Zion, the forefathers of today's Freemasonry who had been behind The Crusades against the Islamic World, thus the invasion of Palestine in 1948 for the formation of Israel and recent destruction of Iraq by the U.S., are really continuation of the The Crusaders in crushing Islam, as the only potential force able to stop their Global dominance.

Sufism in Traditional Islamic Sciences, by Nuh Ha Mim Keller

Perhaps the biggest challenge in learning Islam correctly today is the scarcity of traditional scholars. In this meaning, Bukhari relates the sahih, rigorously authenticated hadith that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: "Truly, Allah does not remove Sacred Knowedge by taking it out of servants, but rather by taking back the souls of Islamic scholars [in death], until, when He has not left a single scholar, the people take the ignorant as leaders, who are asked for and who give Islamic legal opinion without knowledge, misguided and misguiding." (Fath al-Bari, 1.194, hadith 100).

The process described by the hadith is not yet completed, but has certainly begun, and in our times, the lack of traditional scholars—whether in Islamic law, in hadith, in tafsir ‘Quranic exegesis’—has given rise to an understanding of the religion that is far from scholarly, and sometimes far from the truth. For example, in the course of my own studies in Islamic law, my first impression from orientalist and Muslim-reformer literature, was that the Imams of the madhhabs or ‘schools of jurisprudence’ had brought a set of rules from completely outside the Islamic tradition and somehow imposed them upon the Muslims. But when I sat with traditional scholars in the Middle East and asked them about the details, I came away with a different point of view, having learned the bases for deriving the law from the Quran and Sunnah.

And similarly with Tasawwuf—which is the word I will use tonight for the English Sufism, since our context is traditional Islam—quite a different picture emerged from talking with scholars of Tasawwuf than what I had been exposed to in the West. My talk tonight, Insyaallah, will present knowledge taken from the Quran and sahih hadith, and from actual teachers of Tasawwuf in Syria and Jordan, in view of the need for all of us to get beyond clichés, the need for factual information from Islamic sources, the need to answer such questions as: Where did Tasawwuf come from? What role does it play in the din or religion of Islam? and most importantly, what is the command of Allah about it?

As for the origin of the term Tasawwuf, like many other Islamic discliplines, its name was not known to the first generation of Muslims. The historian Ibn Khaldun notes in his Muqaddimah:
This knowledge is a branch of the sciences of Sacred Law that originated within the Ummah. From the first, the way of such people had also been considered the path of truth and guidance by the early Muslim community and its notables, of the Companions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), those who were taught by them, and those who came after them.

It basically consists of dedication to worship, total dedication to Allah Most High, disregard for the finery and ornament of the world, abstinence from the pleasure, wealth, and prestige sought by most men, and retiring from others to worship alone. This was the general rule among the Companions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and the early Muslims, but when involvement in this-worldly things became widespread from the second Islamic century onwards and people became absorbed in worldliness, those devoted to worship came to be called Sufiyya or People of Tasawwuf (Ibn Khaldun, al-Muqaddima [N.d. Reprint. Mecca: Dar al-Baz, 1397/1978], 467).

In Ibn Khaldun’s words, the content of Tasawwuf, "total dedication to Allah Most High," was, "the general rule among the Companions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and the early Muslims." So if the word did not exist in earliest times, we should not forget that this is also the case with many other Islamic disciplines, such as tafsir, ‘Quranic exegesis’ or ‘ilm al-jarh wa tadil, ‘the science of the positive and negative factors that affect hadith narrators acceptability’ or ilm al-tawhid, 'the science of belief in Islamic tenets of faith' all of which proved to be of the utmost importance to the correct preservation and transmission of the religion.

As for the origin of the word Tasawwuf, it may well be from Sufi, the person who does Tasawwuf, which seems to be etymologically prior to it, for the earliest mention of either term was by Hasan al-Basri who died 110 years after the Hijra, and is reported to have said, "I saw a Sufi circumambulating the Kaaba, and offered him a dirham, but he would not accept it." It therefore seems better to understand Tasawwuf by first asking what a Sufi is; and perhaps the best definition of both the Sufi and his way, certainly one of the most frequently quoted by masters of the discipline, is from the Sunnah of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) who said: Allah Most High says: "He who is hostile to a friend of Mine I declare war against. My slave approaches Me with nothing more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him, and My slave keeps drawing nearer to Me with voluntary works until I love him. And when I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he seizes, and his foot with which he walks. If he asks me, I will surely give to him, and if he seeks refuge in Me, I will surely protect him." (Fath al-Bari, 11.340–41, hadith 6502); This hadith was related by Imam Bukhari, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, al-Bayhaqi, and others with multiple contiguous chains of transmission, and is sahih. It discloses the central reality of Tasawwuf, which is precisely change, while describing the path to this change, in conformity with a traditional definition used by masters in the Middle East, who define a Sufi as Faqihun ‘amila bi ‘ilmihi fa awrathahu Llahu ‘ilma ma lam ya‘lam, ‘A man of religious learning who applied what he knew, so Allah bequeathed him knowledge of what he did not know.’

To clarify, a Sufi is a man of religious learning,because the hadith says, "My slave approaches Me with nothing more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him," and only through learning can the Sufi know the command of Allah, or what has been made obligatory for him. He has applied what he knew, because the hadith says he not only approaches Allah with the obligatory, but "keeps drawing nearer to Me with voluntary works until I love him." And in turn, Allah bequeathed him knowledge of what he did not know, because the hadith says, "And when I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he seizes, and his foot with which he walks," which is a metaphor for the consummate awareness of tawhid, or the ‘unity of Allah,’ which in the context of human actions such as hearing, sight, seizing, and walking, consists of realizing the words of the Qur'an about Allah that, "It is He who created you and what you do." (Qur'an 37:96).

The origin of the way of the Sufi thus lies in the Prophetic Sunnah. The sincerity to Allah that it entails was the rule among the earliest Muslims, to whom this was simply a state of being without a name, while it only became a distinct discipline when the majority of the Community had drifted away and changed from this state. Muslims of subsequent generations required systematic effort to attain it, and it was because of the change in the Islamic environment after the earliest generations, that a discipline by the name of Tasawwuf came to exist.

But if this is true of origins, the more significant question is: How central is Tasawwuf to the religion, and: Where does it fit into Islam as a whole? Perhaps the best answer is the hadith of Muslim, that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab said: As we sat one day with the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace), a man in pure white clothing and jet black hair came to us, without a trace of travelling upon him, though none of us knew him.
He sat down before the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) bracing his knees against his, resting his hands on his legs, and said: "Muhammad, tell me about Islam." The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and to perform the prayer, give zakat, fast in Ramadan, and perform the pilgrimage to the House if you can find a way."
He said: "You have spoken the truth," and we were surprised that he should ask and then confirm the answer. Then he said: "Tell me about true faith (iman)," and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) answered: "It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His inspired Books, His messengers, the Last Day, and in destiny, its good and evil."
"You have spoken the truth," he said, "Now tell me about the perfection of faith (ihsan)," and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) answered: "It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you see Him not, He nevertheless sees you."

The hadith continues to where ‘Umar said: Then the visitor left. I waited a long while, and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said to me, "Do you know, ‘Umar, who was the questioner?" and I replied, "Allah and His messenger know best." He said, "It was Gabriel, who came to you to teach you your religion" (Sahih Muslim, 1.37: hadith 8).

This is a sahih hadith, described by Imam Nawawi as one of the hadiths upon which the Islamic religion turns. The use of din in the last words of it, Atakum yu‘allimukum dinakum, "came to you to teach you your religion" entails that the religion of Islam is composed of the three fundamentals mentioned in the hadith: Islam, or external compliance with what Allah asks of us; Iman, or the belief in the unseen that the prophets have informed us of; and Ihsan, or to worship Allah as though one sees Him.

The Quran says, in Surat Maryam, "Surely We have revealed the Remembrance, and surely We shall preserve it" (Qur'an 15:9), and if we reflect how Allah, in His wisdom, has accomplished this, we see that it is by human beings, the traditional scholars He has sent at each level of the religion. The level of Islam has been preserved and conveyed to us by the Imams of Syariah or ‘Sacred Law’ and its ancillary disciplines; the level of Iman, by the Imams of Aqidah or ‘tenets of faith’; and the level of Ihsan, "to worship Allah as though you see Him," by the Imams of Tasawwuf.

The hadith’s very words "to worship Allah" show us the interrelation of these three fundamentals, for the how of "worship" is only known through the external prescriptions of Islam, while the validity of this worship in turn presupposes Iman or faith in Allah and the Islamic revelation, without which worship would be but empty motions; while the words, "as if you see Him," show that Ihsan implies a human change, for it entails the experience of what, for most of us, is not experienced. So to understand Tasawwuf, we must look at the nature of this change in relation to both Islam and Iman, and this is the main focus of my talk tonight.

At the level of Islam, we said that Tasawwuf requires Islam, through ‘submission to the rules of Sacred Law’. But Islam, for its part, equally requires Tasawwuf. Why? For the very good reason that the Sunnah which Muslims have been commanded to follow is not just the words and actions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), but also his states, states of the heart such as taqwa ‘godfearingness', ikhlas ‘sincerity,’ tawakkul ‘reliance on Allah,’ rahmah ‘mercy,’ tawadu ‘humility,’ and so on.

Now, it is characteristic of the Islamic ethic that human actions are not simply divided into two shades of morality, right or wrong; but rather five, arranged in order of their consequences in the next world. The obligatory (wajib) is that whose performance is rewarded by Allah in the next life and whose nonperformance is punished. The recommended (mandub) is that whose performance is rewarded, but whose nonperformance is not punished. The permissible (mubah) is indifferent, unconnected with either reward or punishment. The offensive (makruh) is that whose nonperformance is rewarded but whose performance is not punished. The unlawful (haram) is that whose nonperformance is rewarded and whose performance is punished, if one dies unrepentant.

Human states of the heart, the Quran and Sunnah make plain to us, come under each of these headings. Yet they are not dealt with in books of fiqh or ‘Islamic jurisprudence’ because unlike the prayer, zakat, or fasting, they are not quantifiable in terms of the specific amount of them that must be done. But though they are not countable, they are of the utmost importance to every Muslim. Let’s look at a few examples.
(1) Love of Allah. In Surat al-Baqarah of the Quran, Allah blames those who ascribe associates to Allah whom they love as much as they love Allah. Then He says,
"And those who believe are greater in love for Allah" (Qur'an 2:165), making being a believer conditional upon having greater love for Allah than any other.
(2) Mercy. Bukhari and Muslim relate that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "Whomever is not merciful to people, Allah will show no mercy" (Sahih Muslim, 4.1809: hadith 2319), and Tirmidhi relates the well authenticated (hasan) hadith "Mercy is not taken out of anyone except the damned" (al-Jami al-sahih, 4.323: hadith 1923).
(3) Love of each other. Muslim relates in his Sahih that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "By Him in whose hand is my soul, none of you shall enter paradise until you believe, and none of you shall believe until you love one another . . . " (Sahih Muslim, 1.74: hadith 54).
(4) Presence of mind in the prayer (salat). Abu Dawud relates in his Sunan that Ammar ibn Yasir heard the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) say, "Truly, a man leaves, and none of his prayer has been recorded for him except a tenth of it, a ninth of it, eighth of it, seventh of it, sixth of it, fifth of it, fourth of it, third of it, a half of it" (Sunan Abi Dawud, 1.211: hadith 796)—meaning that none of a person’s prayer counts for him except that in which he is present in his heart with Allah.
(5) Love of the Prophet. Bukhari relates in his Sahih that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "None of you believes until I am more beloved to him than his father, his son, and all people" (Fath al-Bari, 1.58, hadith 15).

It is plain from these texts that none of the states mentioned—whether mercy, love, or presence of heart—are quantifiable, for the Syariah cannot specify that one must "do two units of mercy" or "have three units of presence of mind" in the way that the number of rakaahs of prayer can be specified, yet each of them is personally obligatory for the Muslim. Let us complete the picture by looking at a few examples of states that are haram or ‘strictly unlawful’:
(1) Fear of anyone besides Allah. Allah Most High says in Surat al-Baqara of the Qur'an,
"And fulfill My covenant: I will fulfill your covenant—And fear Me alone" (Quran 2:40), the last phrase of which, according to Imam Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, "establishes that a human being is obliged to fear no one besides Allah Most High" (Tafsir al-Fakhr al-Razi, 3.42).
(2) Despair. Allah Most High says,
"None despairs of Allah’s mercy except the people who disbelieve" (Quran 12:87), indicating the unlawfulness of this inward state by coupling it with the worst human condition possible, that of unbelief.
(3) Arrogance. Muslim relates in his Sahih that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "No one shall enter paradise who has a particle of arrogance in his heart" (Sahih Muslim, 1.93: hadith 91).
(4) Envy, meaning to wish for another to lose the blessings he enjoys. Abu Dawud relates that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "Beware of envy, for envy consumes good works as flames consume firewood" (Sunan Abi Dawud, 4.276: hadith 4903).
(5) Showing off in acts of worship. Al-Hakim relates with a sahih chain of transmission that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "The slightest bit of showing off in good works is as if worshipping others with Allah . . . ." (al-Mustadrak ‘ala al-Sahihayn, 1.4).
These and similar haram inward states are not found in books of fiqh or ‘jurisprudence,’ because fiqh can only deal with quantifiable descriptions of rulings. Rather, they are examined in their causes and remedies by the scholars of the ‘inner fiqh’ of Tasawwuf, men such as Imam al-Ghazali in his Ihya’ ‘ulum al-din [The reviving of the religious sciences], Imam al-Rabbani in his Maktubat [Letters], al-Suhrawardi in his ‘Awarif al-Ma‘arif [The knowledges of the illuminates], Abu Talib al-Makki in Qut al-qulub [The sustenance of hearts], and similar classic works, which discuss and solve hundreds of ethical questions about the inner life. These are books of Syariah and their questions are questions of Sacred Law, of how it is lawful or unlawful for a Muslim to be; and they preserve the part of the prophetic sunna dealing with states.

Who needs such information? All Muslims, for the Quranic verses and authenticated hadiths all point to the fact that a Muslim must not only do certain things and say certain things, but also must be something, must attain certain states of the heart and eliminate others. Do we ever fear someone besides Allah? Do we have a particle of arrogance in our hearts? Is our love for the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) greater than our love for any other human being? Is there the slightest bit of showing off in our good works?

Half a minute’s reflection will show the Muslim where he stands on these aspects of his din, and why in classical times, helping Muslims to attain these states was not left to amateurs, but rather delegated to ulama of the heart, the scholars of Islamic Tasawwuf. For most people, these are not easy transformations to make, because of the force of habit, because of the subtlety with which we can deceive ourselves, but most of all because each of us has an ego, the self, the Me, which is called in Arabic al-nafs, about which Allah testifies in Surat Yusuf:
"Verily the self ever commands to do evil" (Qur'an 12:53).

If you do not believe it, consider the hadith related by Muslim in his Sahih, that:
The first person judged on Resurrection Day will be a man martyred in battle.
He will be brought forth, Allah will reacquaint him with His blessings upon him and the man will acknowledge them, whereupon Allah will say, "What have you done with them?" to which the man will respond, "I fought to the death for You."
Allah will reply, "You lie. You fought in order to be called a hero, and it has already been said." Then he will be sentenced and dragged away on his face and flung into the fire.
Then a man will be brought forward who learned Sacred Knowledge, taught it to others, and who recited the Quran. Allah will remind him of His gifts to him and the man will acknowledge them, and then Allah will say, "What have you done with them?" The man will answer, "I acquired Sacred Knowledge, taught it, and recited the Qur'an, for Your sake."
Allah will say, "You lie. You learned so as to be called a scholar, and read the Quran so as to be called a reciter, and it has already been said." Then the man will be sentenced and dragged away on his face to be flung into the fire.
Then a man will be brought forward whom Allah generously provided for, giving him various kinds of wealth, and Allah will recall to him the benefits given, and the man will acknowledge them, to which Allah will say, "And what have you done with them?" The man will answer, "I have not left a single kind of expenditure You love to see made, except that I have spent on it for Your sake."
Allah will say, "You lie. You did it so as to be called generous, and it has already been said." Then he will be sentenced and dragged away on his face to be flung into the fire (Sahih Muslim, 3.1514: hadith 1905).

We should not fool ourselves about this, because our fate depends on it: in our childhood, our parents taught us how to behave through praise or blame, and for most of us, this permeated and colored our whole motivation for doing things. But when childhood ends, and we come of age in Islam, the religion makes it clear to us, both by the above hadith and by the words of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) "The slightest bit of showing off in good works is as if worshipping others with Allah" that being motivated by what others think is no longer good enough, and that we must change our motives entirely, and henceforth be motivated by nothing but desire for Allah Himself. The Islamic revelation thus tells the Muslim that it is obligatory to break his habits of thinking and motivation, but it does not tell him how. For that, he must go to the scholars of these states, in accordance with the Qur'anic imperative,
"Ask those who know if you know not." (Qur'an 16:43)

There is no doubt that bringing about this change, purifying the Muslims by bringing them to spiritual sincerity, was one of the central duties of the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace), for Allah says in the Surat Al ‘Imran of the Quran,
"Allah has truly blessed the believers, for He has sent them a messenger of themselves, who recites His signs to them and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and the Wisdom" (Quran 3:164), which explicitly lists four tasks of the prophetic mission, the second of which, yuzakkihim means precisely to ‘purify them’ and has no other lexical sense. Now, it is plain that this teaching function cannot, as part of an eternal revelation, have ended with the passing of the first generation, a fact that Allah explictly confirms in His injunction in Surat Luqman, "And follow the path of him who turns unto Me" (Quran 31:15).

These verses indicate the teaching and transformative role of those who convey the Islamic revelation to Muslims, and the choice of the word ittiba‘ in the second verse, which is more general, implies both keeping the company of and following the example of a teacher. This is why in the history of Tasawwuf, we find that though there were many methods and schools of thought, these two things never changed: keeping the company of a teacher, and following his example—in exactly the same way that the Sahaba were uplifted and purified by keeping the company of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and following his example.

And this is why the discipline of Tasawwuf has been preserved and transmitted by Tariqahs or groups of students under a particular master. First, because this was the Sunnah of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) in his purifying function described by the Quran. Secondly, Islamic knowledge has never been transmitted by writings alone, but rather from ulama to students. Thirdly, the nature of the knowledge in question is of hal or ‘state of being,’ not just knowing, and hence requires it be taken from a succession of living masters back to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), for the sheer range and number of the states of heart required by the revelation effectively make imitation of the personal example of a teacher the only effective means of transmission.

So far we have spoken about Tasawwuf in respect to Islam, as a Syariah science necessary to fully realize the Sacred Law in one’s life, to attain the states of the heart demanded by the Quran and hadith. This close connection between Syariah and Tasawwuf is expressed by the statement of Imam Malik, founder of the Maliki school, that "he who practices Tasawwuf without learning Sacred Law corrupts his faith, while he who learns Sacred Law without practicing Tasawwuf corrupts himself. Only he who combines the two proves true." This is why Tasawwuf was taught as part of the traditional curriculum in madrasas across the Muslim world from Malaysia to Morocco, why many of the greatest Syariah scholars of this Ummah have been Sufis, and why until the end of the Islamic caliphate at the beginning of this century and the subsequent Western control and cultural dominance of Muslim lands, there were teachers of Tasawwuf in Islamic institutions of higher learning from Lucknow to Istanbul to Cairo.
But there is a second aspect of Tasawwuf that we have not yet talked about; namely, its relation to Iman or ‘True Faith,’ the second pillar of the Islamic religion, which in the context of the Islamic sciences consists of ‘Aqidah or ‘orthodox belief.’

All Muslims believe in Allah, and that He is transcendently beyond anything conceivable to the minds of men, for the human intellect is imprisoned within its own sense impressions and the categories of thought derived from them, such as number, directionality, spatial extention, place, time, and so forth. Allah is beyond all of that; in His own words, "There is nothing whatesover like unto Him." (Qur'an 42:11)

If we reflect for a moment on this verse, in the light of the hadith of Muslim about Ihsan that "it is to worship Allah as though you see Him," we realize that the means of seeing here is not the eye, which can only behold physical things like itself; nor yet the mind, which cannot transcend its own impressions to reach the Divine, but rather certitude, the light of Iman, whose locus is not the eye or the brain, but rather the ruh, a subtle faculty Allah has created within each of us called the soul, whose knowledge is unobstructed by the bounds of the created universe. Allah Most High says, by way of exalting the nature of this faculty by leaving it a mystery,
"Say: ‘The soul is of the affair of my Lord’" (Qur'an 17:85).

The food of this ruh is dhikr or the ‘remembrance of Allah.’ Why? Because acts of obedience increase the light of certainty and Iman in the soul, and dhikr is among the greatest of them, as is attested to by the sahih hadith related by al-Hakim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "Shall I not tell you of the best of your works, the purest of them in the eyes of your Master, the highest in raising your rank, better than giving gold and silver, and better for you than to meet your enemy and smite their necks, and they smite yours?" They said, "This—what is it, O Messenger of Allah?" and he said: Dhikru Llahi ‘azza wa jall, "The remembrance of Allah Mighty and Majestic." (al-Mustadrak ‘ala al-Sahihayn, 1.496).

Increasing the strength of Iman through good actions, and particularly through the medium of dhikr has tremendous implications for the Islamic religion and traditional spirituality. A non-Muslim once asked me, "If God exists, then why all this beating around the bush? Why doesn’t He just come out and say so?"

The answer is that taklif or ‘moral responsibility’ in this life is not only concerned with outward actions, but with what we believe, our ‘Aqida—and the strength with which we believe it. If belief in God and other eternal truths were effortless in this world, there would be no point in Allah making us responsible for it, it would be automatic, involuntary, like our belief, say, that London is in England. There would no point in making someone responsible for something impossible not to believe.

But the responsibility Allah has place upon us is belief in the Unseen, as a test for us in this world to choose between kufr and Iman, to distinguish believer from unbeliever, and some believers above others.

This why strengthening Iman through dhikr is of such methodological importance for Tasawwuf: we have not only been commanded as Muslims to believe in certain things, but have been commanded to have absolute certainty in them. The world we see around us is composed of veils of light and darkness: events come that knock the Iman out of some of us, and Allah tests each of us as to the degree of certainty with which we believe the eternal truths of the religion. It was in this sense that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "If the Iman of Abu Bakr were weighed against the Iman of the entire Umma, it would outweigh it."

Now, in traditional Aqidah one of the most important tenets is the wahdaniyyah or ‘oneness and uniqueness’ of Allah Most High. This means He is without any syirk or associate in His being, in His attributes, or in His acts. But the ability to hold this insight in mind in the rough and tumble of daily life is a function of the strength of certainty (yaqin) in one’s heart. Allah tells the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) in Surat al-A‘raf of the Quran, "Say: ‘I do not possess benefit for myself or harm, except as Allah wills’" (Qur'an 7:188), yet we tend to rely on ourselves and our plans, in obliviousness to the facts of Aqidah that ourselves and our plans have no effect, that Allah alone brings about effects.

If you want to test yourself on this, the next time you contact someone with good connections whose help is critical to you, take a look at your heart at the moment you ask him to put in a good word for you with someone, and see whom you are relying upon. If you are like most of us, Allah is not at the forefront of your thoughts, despite the fact that He alone is controlling the outcome. Isn’t this a lapse in your Aqidah, or, at the very least, in your certainty?

Tasawwuf corrects such shortcomings by step-by-step increasing the Muslim’s certainty in Allah. The two central means of Tasawwuf in attaining the conviction demanded by ‘Aqida are mudhakara, or learning the traditional tenets of Islamic faith, and dhikr, deepening one’s certainty in them by remembrance of Allah. It is part of our faith that, in the words of the Qur'an in Surat al-Saffat, "Allah has created you and what you do" (Qur'an 37:96);
yet for how many of us is this day to day experience? Because Tasawwuf remedies this and other shortcomings of Iman, by increasing the Muslim’s certainty through a systematic way of teaching and dhikr, it has traditionally been regarded as personally obligatory to this pillar of the religion also, and from the earliest centuries of Islam, has proved its worth.

The last question we will deal with tonight is: What about the bad Sufis we read about, who contravene the teachings of Islam?

The answer is that there are two meanings of Sufi: the first is "Anyone who considers himself a Sufi," which is the rule of thumb of orientalist historians of Sufism and popular writers, who would oppose the "Sufis" to the "Ulama." I think the Quranic verses and hadiths we have mentioned tonight about the scope and method of true Tasawwuf show why we must insist on the primacy of the definition of a Sufi as "a man of religious learning who applied what he knew, so Allah bequeathed him knowledge of what he did not know."

The very first thing a Sufi, as a man of religious learning knows is that the Shari‘a and ‘Aqida of Islam are above every human being. Whoever does not know this will never be a Sufi, except in the orientalist sense of the word—like someone standing in front of the stock exchange in an expensive suit with a briefcase to convince people he is a stockbroker. A real stockbroker is something else.

Because this distinction is ignored today by otherwise well-meaning Muslims, it is often forgotten that the ulama who have criticized Sufis, such as Ibn al-Jawzi in his Talbis Iblis [The Devil’s deception], or Ibn Taymiyyah in places in his Fatawa, or Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, were not criticizing Tasawwuf as an ancillary discipline to the Syariah. The proof of this is Ibn al-Jawzi’s five-volume Sifat al-safwa, which contains the biographies of the very same Sufis mentioned in al-Qushayri’s famous Tasawwuf manual al-Risalah al-Qushayriyyah. Ibn Taymiyyah considered himself a Sufi of the Qadiri order, and volumes ten and eleven of his thirty-seven-volume Majmu‘ al-fatawa are devoted to Tasawwuf. And Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah wrote his three-volume Madarij al-salikin, a detailed commentary on ‘Abdullah al-Ansari al-Harawi’s tract on the spiritual stations of the Sufi path, Manazil al-sa’irin. These works show that their authors’ criticisms were not directed at Tasawwuf as such, but rather at specific groups of their times, and they should be understood for what they are.

As in other Islamic sciences, mistakes historically did occur in Tasawwuf, most of them stemming from not recognizing the primacy of Syariah and Aqidah above all else. But these mistakes were not different in principle from, for example, the Isra’iliyyat (baseless tales of Bani Isra’il) that crept into tafsir literature, or the mawdu‘at (hadith forgeries) that crept into the hadith. These were not taken as proof that tafsir was bad, or hadith was deviance, but rather, in each discipline, the errors were identified and warned against by Imams of the field, because the Ummah needed the rest. And such corrections are precisely what we find in books like Qushayri’s Risalah, Ghazali’s Ihya’ and other works of Sufism.

For all of the reasons we have mentioned, Tasawwuf was accepted as an essential part of the Islamic religion by the ulama of this Ummah. The proof of this is all the famous scholars of Syariah sciences who had the higher education of Tasawwuf, among them Ibn ‘Abidin, al-Razi, Ahmad Sirhindi, Zakariyya al-Ansari, al-‘Izz ibn ‘Abd al-Salam, Ibn Daqiq al-‘Eid, Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, Shah Wali Allah, Ahmad Dardir, Ibrahim al-Bajuri, ‘Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, Imam al-Nawawi, Taqi al-Din al-Subki, and al-Suyuti.

Among the Sufis who aided Islam with the sword as well as the pen, to quote Reliance of the Traveller, were: such men as the Naqshbandi sheikh Shamil al-Daghestani, who fought a prolonged war against the Russians in the Caucasus in the nineteenth century; Sayyid Muhammad ‘Abdullah al-Somali, a sheikh of the Salihiyya order who led Muslims against the British and Italians in Somalia from 1899 to 1920; the Qadiri sheikh ‘Uthman ibn Fodi, who led jihad in Northern Nigeria from 1804 to 1808 to establish Islamic rule; the Qadiri sheikh ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jaza’iri, who led the Algerians against the French from 1832 to 1847; the Darqawi faqir al-Hajj Muhammad al-Ahrash, who fought the French in Egypt in 1799; the Tijani sheikh al-Hajj ‘Umar Tal, who led Islamic Jihad in Guinea, Senegal, and Mali from 1852 to 1864; and the Qadiri sheikh Ma’ al-‘Aynayn al-Qalqami, who helped marshal Muslim resistance to the French in northern Mauritania and southern Morocco from 1905 to 1909.

Among the Sufis whose missionary work Islamized entire regions are such men as the founder of the Sanusiyya order, Muhammad ‘Ali Sanusi, whose efforts and jihad from 1807 to 1859 consolidated Islam as the religion of peoples from the Libyan Desert to sub-Saharan Africa; [and] the Shadhili sheikh Muhammad Ma‘ruf and Qadiri sheikh Uways al-Barawi, whose efforts spread Islam westward and inland from the East African Coast . . . (Reliance of the Traveller,863).

It is plain from the examples of such men what kind of Muslims have been Sufis; namely, all kinds, right across the board—and that Tasawwuf did not prevent them from serving Islam in any way they could.

To summarize everything I have said tonight: In looking first at Tasawwuf and Syariah, we found that many Quranic verses and sahih hadiths oblige the Muslim to eliminate haram inner states as arrogance, envy, and fear of anyone besides Allah; and on the other hand, to acquire such obligatory inner states as mercy, love of one’s fellow Muslims, presence of mind in prayer, and love of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). We found that these inward states could not be dealt with in books of fiqh, whose purpose is to specify the outward, quantifiable aspects of the Syariah. The knowledge of these states is nevertheless of the utmost importance to every Muslim, and this is why it was studied under the ulama of Ihsan, the teachers of Tasawwuf, in all periods of Islamic history until the beginning of the present century.

We then turned to the level of Iman, and found that though the Aqidah of Muslims is that Allah alone has any effect in this world, keeping this in mind in everhday life is not a given of human consciousness, but rather a function of a Muslim’s yaqin, his certainty. And we found that Tasawwuf, as an ancillary discipline to Aqidah, emphasizes the systematic increase of this certainty through both mudhakarah, ‘teaching tenets of faith’ and dhikr, ‘the remembrance of Allah,’ in accordance with the words of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) about Ihsan that "it is worship Allah as though you see Him."

Lastly, we found that accusations against Tasawwuf made by scholars such as Ibn al-Jawzi, and Ibn Taymiyyah were not directed against Tasawwuf in principle, but to specific groups and individuals in the times of these authors, the proof for which is the other books by the same authors that showed their understanding of Tasawwuf as a Syariah science.

To return to the starting point of my talk this evening, with the disappearance of traditional Islamic scholars from the Ummah, two very different pictures of Tasawwuf emerge today. If we read books written after the dismantling of the traditional fabric of Islam by colonial powers in the last century, we find the big hoax: Islam without spirituality and Syariah without Tasawwuf. But if we read the classical works of Islamic scholarship, we learn that Tasawwuf has been a Syariah science like tafsir, hadith, or any other, throughout the history of Islam. The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "Truly, Allah does not look at your outward forms and wealth, but rather at your hearts and your works" (Sahih Muslim, 4.1389: hadith 2564).

And this is the brightest hope that Islam can offer a modern world darkened by materialism and nihilism: Islam as it truly is; the hope of eternal salvation through a religion of brotherhood and social and economic justice outwardly, and the direct experience of divine love and illumination inwardly.

Iran's Shocking 50 Year Plot to Rule the Middle East and Beyond, by Iranian Sunni Group

The Prophet Muhammad prophesied that The Antichrist will appear in Iran accompanied by 70 000 Jews, bearing that in mind and the treacherous history of Shiites throughout centuries, this secret letter is a quite a shocking revelation.

Will the Antichrist appear as The Twelth Imam and usurp the so-called Iranian Islamic Revolution?

Top Secret Letter From Cultural Revolutionary Council to Iranian Mayors.

If we are not able to export our revolution to neighboring Islamic countries, then undoubtedly the culture of these countries, mixed with Western culture, will attack and conquer us. Thanks to God and after centuries of brave sacrifice of the nation of the 12 imams in Iran, we are now – according to the revered Shiite leaders’ guidance – carrying a heavy and dangerous responsibility: that is, the exportation of revolution. Based on that, we have to admit that our government, besides its mission in keeping the sovereignty of this country and the people’s rights, is an ideological government. We must make the exportation of the revolution one of our top priorities. But because of the international status quo and international laws – as generally agreed upon – we cannot export the revolution without facing grave and disastrous consequences.

After three sessions with the semi-consensus of the attendees and committee members, we have implemented a five-year plan, including five stages, each stage lasting 10 years, by which to export our Islamic revolution to neighboring countries with the initial aim of unifying Islam. This is because the danger we are facing from the Wahhabi rulers and those of Sunni descent is much larger than the danger posed by the East and West because they – the Wahhabis and Sunnis – resist our movement and are the fundamental enemies of the clergy’s guardianship (Wilayat al-Faqih) and the impeccable imams, to the extent that they consider embracing the Shiite sect as a religious sect and as a constitution for the country as a matter contrary to custom and Syariah.

Therefore they are dividing Islam into two opposing branches. Accordingly, we must increase our influence over the Sunni territories inside Iran, and especially in the border towns, and increase the number of mosques and Husseinite and ceremonies of creed more than before. We must provide the atmosphere in the cities that are inhabited by 90-100% Sunnis until scores of Shiites are deported from cities and villages of the interior of the country to live and work in these border towns forever. The nation and governmental circles must provide direct protection to these settlers in order to take over the management of cities and social and cultural centers that have previously been controlled by Sunni citizens.The plan we drew up to export the revolution – in order to avert any reaction from world superpowers – will utilize money that will not be spent without benefit.

The way to establish the pillars of the state: We know that establishing the pillars of each state and sustaining a nation is based on three foundations: First: the power possessed by the governing authority; Second: the learning and knowledge of the scholars and researchers; Third: the economy, which is concentrated in the hands of business leaders. If we can shake the government by inciting conflict between rulers and scholars and disperse capital in these countries and attract capital from their country to ours, we would undoubtedly be very successful because we would cause them to lose these three pillars. Regarding the rest of the people, who form 70-80% of the population of each country, they are just followers of power and influence and they are indulged in their way of life earning their livings and providing themselves with shelter. This is why they defend those in power.

In order to get to the roof of a house one must begin by stepping on the first rung of the ladder. Our Sunni and Wahhabi neighbors are Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and some of the Emirates to the south at the entrance of the Persian Gulf that appear to be united on the surface, but the facts are different. For this exact region has a huge impact on the past and the present as it is considered the throat of the earth due to the oil in the region. There is no place in the world as delicate as this region, and their rulers, because of the sale of this oil, have the potential for a better life. The populations of these regions are divided into three sects:1) The Bedouin who have been there for hundreds of years.2) Those who have immigrated from islands and ports which are considered part of our land today. Their immigration began in the era of Isamal al Safawi and continued through the eras of Nader Shah and Karim Khan Zind and the rulers of the Gajar and Bahlawi families, and there was some dispersed immigration at the beginning of the Islamic Revolution.3) Those from other Arab countries and cities of Iran’s interior. Trade, and the importing and exporting of goods, as well as construction of buildings is generally controlled by non-citizens; people living in the interior make their living by renting buildings and buying and selling land, while the relatives of those with influence live on salaries earned from the selling of oil. Most of the citizens of those countries are indulging in a socially and culturally corrupt lifestyle and other acts that are openly contrary to Islam. Many of these people are concerned only with purchasing apartments and shares in factories, depositing the capital in Europe and the United States, and especially in Japan, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland in fear of the future devastation of their countries. The control of these countries means the control of the world.

To implement the prepared 50-year plan we must, at the outset, foster our relations with our neighboring countries. There must be mutual respect, strong relations, and friendship between us to the degree that our relations will improve even after the war with Iraq and Saddam Hussein’s downfall: the fall of 1000 friends is a much easier burden to bear than the fall of one of our enemies. With good cultural, political and economic relations between us, many Iranians will immigrate to those countries and through them we can send agents who are apparently immigrants but who, in reality, are working for our regime. Their jobs will be determined as we enlist them into service by sending them abroad.

The influence of our sect, which is enjoyed to some extent in thses countries and their circles, was not a plan for just one or two days. Do not think that 50 years is a long time. Our revolution needes a plan that lasts 20 years, and our sect must enjoy a certain amount of influence in many countries and circles. At that time we did not have any employees or ministers or deputies or rulers, even the Wahhabi, Shafii, Hanafi, Maliki, Hanbali groups were considering us as apostates, and some of the followers of these sects killed the Shiites repeatedly. It is true that we did not exist at that time, but our grandfathers did, and our lives today are the fruit of their thoughts, opinions and efforts. Maybe we will not be here in the future, but our revolution and sect will remain. That is enough to be committed to this creed to sacrifice life, bread, and what we hold dear; but it is also important to have a well-studied program. We are committed to making plans not for 50 years, but for 500. We are the inheritors of millions of martyrs who have been killed by the Islamist devils (Sunnis). Their blood flows through history since the time of the death of the Prophet. The blood that has been spilled did not dry, and it will not dry until all Muslims believe in Ali and the Prophet’s family and admit the mistakes of the grandfathers and that Shiism is an ingrained inheritance of Islam.

Important stages along our way: In the first stage, we do not have a problem spreading our creed in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Iraq and Bahrain. We will make the 10-year plan the first plan in those five countries. That is why it is the responsibility of our immigrant – who are really agents – to carry out the three responsibilities they are charged with :1) To buy land, houses, and apartments, find jobs and provide the necessities to the sons of our creed and live in these homes, and to increase their numbers. 2) To form relations and friendships with business leaders, factory managers, etc., and especially with businessmen, commercial leaders, and famous people and others who enjoy influence in government circles. 3) In these countries there are scattered villages that are still under construction. There are plans to build scores of villages and small towns where none exist.

Agents arriving in the form of immigrants to these countries must buy as many houses in these villages as possible and then sell them at a reasonable price to those who have sold their properties in the city centers. In this way control will be removed from those in densely populated towns and cities. In the second stage, we must spur the people (Shiites) to respect and obey the laws and those who enforce them, as well as government employees; they must obtain official license for their creed and sectarian sermons, building mosques and Husseinite, licenses that will be regarded in the future as official documents. To start businesses and become self-employed they must think of places with a highly dense population to spread their businesses in targeted locations. The person must, in these two stages, seek the nationality of the country he is living in by taking advantage of friends and giving valuable presents; furthermore, they must encourage the youth to work in government sectors and enlist in the military.

In the second half of the 10-year plan we must secretly and indirectly agitate the Sunnis and the Wahhabi scholars against social corruption and those acts in opposition to Islam that prevail in these countries by distributing critical pamphlets from other countries in the name of the religious authorities. Undoubtedly, this will cause the agitation of scores of people in these countries. In the end those religious leaders will be arrested or they will say that what has been written in their names are lies. These pious people will defend those pamphlets rigorously and suspicious acts will take place leading to an edict either to seize their authority or replace them. These acts will result in mistrust between the rulers and the pious in the country; therefore they will not be able to spread religion and build mosques and other religious buildings. The leaders will consider religious sermons rhetoric and celebrations of creed as acts opposed to their regimes. Furthermore, it will increase the grudges and alienations between religious scholars and rulers.

Even Sunnis and Wahhabis will lose the protection of their interior centers, and they will not have external protection at all. In the third stage, when our agents have established good relations with the business leaders, the military and executive powers and are doing their jobs quietly and with good manners and not interfering in religious actions, the result will be that their rulers will be reassured by these people more than previously. When disagreement arises between religious leaders and rulers, our famous scholars from this country will at that moment disclose their loyalty and defend the members of their countries, especially during the sermons of the creed and presents Shiism as a creed that does not pose a threat to religion. If they can declare that to the people through the media they should not hesitate to attract the attention of the rulers and get their approval so that they will give them good jobs without fear at this stage. Because of this transformation that will take place in our ports and islands and in other cities in the country, and with the funds we will invest, we will implement plans to strike a blow to the economy of neighboring countries. Undoubtedly the business leaders, for the sake of gaining safe profits and economic stability, will send all their funds to our country, and when we make others free in their businesses and the banking funds are in our country, the result will be that their countries will welcome our citizens and give them economic facilities by which to invest.

When we reach the fourth stage, everything will be ready. We have before us countries whose scholars and rulers have disagreements, and whose merchants are about to become bankrupt and are leaving their countries. The people are disturbed and ready to sell their properties at half price in order to be able to leave the country for safer places. In the middle of this chaos, our agents and immigrants will be considered the only protectors of rule and authority. All of our agents by being alert enough will take the most important jobs in the civil, military and government sectors, shrinking the gaps between them and government established rulers. From such a location we are able to easily point to the loyalists in government as traitors. All of this will result in their downfall and eliminating them to be replaced with our agents. This job has two positive results:1) our agents will gain the trust of the rulers to an extent greater than previously; and2) the discontent of the Sunnis towards the ruler will increase due to an increase in the Shiite in government circles. Because of this, Sunnis will carry out more acts of resistance, and during this phase our agents must stand by the rulers and call for calm and reconciliation.

At the same time, the agents will buy the houses and properties of those about to flee. At the fifth stage of the plan, the final ten years of the 50 years, the atmosphere will be ready for revolution, because we will have achieved the three elements of security, calm and comfort. The authority will look like a ship amid a typhoon, about to sink. At that time it will accept any suggestions for survival. In this period we will suggest, through famous people, the formation of a popular assembly to calm the situation and aid the rulers in monitoring these circles, as well as keeping discipline in the country.

Undoubtedly they will accept this suggestion and our candidates will win the majority of the seats. This will result in the flight of merchants and scholars, and even the loyal servants; thus we can export our Islamic Revolution to many countries without waging wars or shedding blood. If the plan does not bear fruit and give us power in the last ten years, we could create a popular revolution and strip power from their rulers. Even if apparently our elements – Shiites – are citizens and inhabitants of this country, nevertheless at that time we will be able to say that we fulfilled our responsibility before God and our creed. It is not our target to put one person in control of power. Our target is merely to export the revolution, and by then we can raise the banner of this Godly religion. We will go forward to the world of infidels with more strength and grace the world with the light of Islam and Shiism until the coming of Al-Mahdi Al-Mawud.

Rome linking Catholicism, Judaism and Shiism, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

The Catholics had for centuries been deceived by the Vatican Popes who formally alleged their first Pope to be Simon Petrus (Saint Peter), in fact it was not him but a magician by the name 'Simon Magus'. The Roman Catholic Church is essentially The Universal Church established by the Simonites, followers of the Mithraic-Babylonian Magician.

The Holy See had always been the Centre of paganistic Christianity, having little to do with the original Unitarian teachings of Christ. Trinity was formalised as the 'only true' Christian doctrine by the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D., which resulted to countless Unitarians being subjected to death and torture for going against the innovated creed. The persecution was afterwards directed against the subsequent followers of Muhammad, who shared the same Monotheistic creed of the Unitarians. Spain was reconquered as a consequence.

According to the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.), Christ will come for the second time to destroy the Cross, symbolically signifying the complete destruction of the Mithraic-Babylonian cult called 'Christianity' and establish The Kingdom of God on the Globe. However, prior to his advent the Antichrist will emerge first and make false claim of being 'The Christ' awaited by Muslims and Christians. The Prophet prophesied that The Antichrist will appear first of all as a pious person (The Twelth Imam?), and then claim to be a Prophet (The Christ?), and after that the Son of God and finally God Himself. Isn't that similar to present day Trinity? What a coincidence.

It is intereting to note also, that according to Maimonides, the great Jewish rabbi-physician, 'The Moshiach' of the Jews is hiding in The Holy See.

The Shiite Al-Muntazar Magazine, informs us that mother of The Twelth Imam, is a Roman, and that her father was Yusha, son of Caeser of Rome.

Thus, we have here Rome as the link that unites Catholicism with Shiism and Judaism.

The Antichrist as antithesis to the Christ, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

Jesus Christ was sent by God as Messiah to the Children of Israel, confirming what was sent before in Torah, but with special emphasis on spirituality as the Rabbis and the Pharisees at the time were concentrating on the legal issues, neglecting matters of the heart and relationship with God.

The Jews with their arrogance rejected him, as they had rejected countless of prophets in the past. And eventually their attempt to publicly execute Jesus, however God through His divine mercy saved Jesus from crucifixion and turned someone else into his look alike and the person was crucified, and subsequently deified into 'Son of God' for the centuries to come.

The Quran, sent to the Prophet Muhammad confirmed the attempted crucifixion on Jesus and cleared the Jews from guilt of being killers of Christ.

Filled with guilt of thinking that they have eliminated Christ Jesus, the Rabbis had for centuries sought to replace Jesus with another 'Messiah', after they themselves through Paul and Simon Magus succeeded in inventing 'The Trinity' myth and subsequently creating 'Christianity' itself as a cult and later on an accepted religion, making the original Unitarian followers of Christ, like Arius and others, deviant and heretics.

This alternative 'Messiah' to Jesus, is now being awaited by the highest Rabbis in Israel and other parts of the Jewry. Who is this 'Messiah'?

The Last Sermon of the Prophet Muhammad, by Everything

Two months after Muhammad's (pbuh) first and last Pilgrimage to Mecca, he fell ill. On the Ninth Day of the Islamic month Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H. (632CE) in the 'Uranah valley of Mount Arafat' (in Mecca), he gave a sermon to his people after leading them in prayer.
After praising, and thanking God he said:
"O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY.
O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds. God has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. God has Judged that there shall be no interest and that all the interest due to Abbas ibn 'Abd'al Muttalib (his uncle) shall henceforth be waived...
Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.
O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under God's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.
O People, listen to me in earnest, worship God, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.
Remember, one day you will appear before God and answer your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.
O People, NO PROPHET OR APOSTLE WILL COME AFTER ME AND NO NEW FAITH WILL BE BORN. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my example, the Sunnah and if you follow these you will never go astray.
All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness, O God, that I have conveyed your message to your people".
When he finished his farewell speech, the following revelations come to him, the final verse of the Quran.
"...This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion..." (Quran 5:3).
Soon after this sermon, his last in the mosque, Muhammad (pbuh) became so weak that he could not move. He then appointed Abu Bakr, his right-hand man, to lead the prayers. He spent the rest of his illness in the apartment of his beloved wife Aishah. On the early morning of twelfth of Rabi' al-Awwal, three months after, the Prophet's fever abated and he went to the mosque with assitance. He sat on the right of Abu Bakr and completed the prayer while seated.
Hours later, he lost consciousness. His last words were "My Lord, grant me pardon" though some sources say "The prayer! The prayer!" and some say he tried to make some motion, as if to write something. There is also a hadith narrated by his wife, Aisyah, where she heard him tell the angel that he'd rather die and meet God than stay on Earth.He died in the evening of the twelfth of Rabi' al-Awwal (June 8, 632 C.E.) at the age of sixty-three, in the arms of his wife Aisyah.
The news of the Muhammad's death was so hard upon close companions and Muslims that some of them refused to believe that he had passed away. (At the close of his death, he looked youthful as if in his forties and his face always shown a great radiance). Upon hearing this, Abu Bakr, who was later to become the first caliph, went to the mosque and delivered one of the noblest speeches:
"O People! If Muhammad is the sole object of your adoration, then know that he is dead. But if it is Allah (The One God) you Worshiped, then know that He does not die."
He then recited the following verse from the Qur'an, 3:144, which was revealed after the Battle of Uhud:
"Muhammad is no more than a Messenger: many were the Messengers that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will you then turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to God; but God (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude." The Prophet was buried the next day at the same place where he died. The place of his burial was decided by his saying as related by Abu Bakr: "God does not cause a prophet to die but in the place where he is to be buried."

The Universal Biography of Ibn Taimiyyah, by George Makdisi

Ibn Taimiyyah (AH 661-728/1263-1328 CE), more fully Taqi al-Din Abu al-Abbas Ahmad ibn Abd al-Halim ibn Abd al-Salam al-Harrani al-Dimashqi; jurisconsult, theologian, and Sufi. He was born in Harran, and at the age of six he fled with his father and brothers to Damascus during the Mongol invasions. Ibn Taymiyyah devoted himself from early youth to various Islamic sciences (Quran, hadith and legal studies), and he was a voracious reader of books on sciences that were not taught in the regular institutions of learning, including logic, philosophy, and kalam.

Early Career.
Ibn Taymiyah studied law under the direction of his father and Shams al-Din Abd al-Rahman al-Maqdisi (d. 1283). Under several teachers of hadith he studied a number of works, in particular the Musnad of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, (a hadith collection that he read several times), the six books of hadith, and the bibliographical Mu'jam of al-Tabarani. He studied Arabic grammar and lexicography for a brief period under Sulayman ibn Abd al-Qawi al-Tuft (d. 1316); then, on his own, he mastered Sibawayh¡'s text on grammar. He became qualified to issue legal opinions before the age of twenty; at twenty-one, upon the death of his father in 1283, he succeeded him as professor of hadith and law at Dar al-Hadith al-Sukkariyah, a Sufi monastery and college of hadith founded around the middle of the thirteenth century in Damascus. Ibn Taymiyyah was a prolific writer, described as fast to learn and slow to forget: it was said of him that once he learned something, he never forgot it.

Ibn Taymiyyah also succeeded his father at the Umayyad Mosque, where he gave lectures on Quranic exegesis. His biographers record that, lecturing without notes, he would give materials for two or more fascicles. On one of these Fridays of Quranic exegesis in the Umayyad Mosque in 1291, Ibn Taymiyyah lectured briefly on the divine attributes. This was his first known public venture into controversial dogmatics. The reaction was quick among his opponents, who tried to prevent him from lecturing further in the mosque but failed in their attempt. Ibn Taymiyyah's treatment of the divine attributes was given as part of his profession of faith. The Chief Qadi Shahs al-Din al-Khuwayyi declared: 'I am in agreement with the creed of Shaykh Taqi al-Din [Ibn Taymiyyah].' When he was reproved, he continued: 'because he has sound intelligence, speaks from extensive knowledge, and says only what he knows to be sound.'

In 1292 Ibn Taymiyyah went on the pilgrimage to Makkah, where he gathered materials for his work 'Manasik al-Hajj' (Rituals of the Pilgrimage), denouncing a number of practices in the rituals of the pilgrimage as condemnable innovations.

The Shafii historian Ibn Kathir, in the events of the year 1293/4, treats of the affair of Assaf al-Nasrani (the Christian), who was reported by witnesses to have cursed the Prophet. Ibn Taymiyyah and a companion, al-Faraqi, apparently implicated in the affair for encouraging the assault and battery to which Assaf and his bedouin protector were victims, were flogged and put under house arrest.

In 1296, at the death of his Professor Zayn al-Din ibn Munajja, Ibn Taymiyyah succeeded to the chair of law thus vacated in the Madrasah Hanbaliyyah. His biographer Ibn Rajab said that he read an autobiographical note in Ibn Taymiyyah's own hand to the effect that Ibn Taymiyyah was offered, before the year 1291 (thus before the age of thirty), the post of 'Shaykh al-Shuyukh', or head of the Sufis, and the post of Chief Qadi, but he refused them both. Refusals to assume such posts usually meant that the scholar wished to stay aloof from the central power, out of desire for a private scholarly life, or in order to pursue the ascetic life, or to remain free to criticize practices he deemed not in keeping with the tenets of Islam. When Ibn Taymiyyah's subsequent life is taken into consideration, his refusal clearly appears to have been based on the last of these reasons.

Opposition to the Asyarites. Ibn Taymiyyah lived in a period between those of two notable propagandists of the rationalist Asyarite movement in theology: Ibn Asakir (d. 1176) and Subki (d. 1370). The attempt of the Asyarite movement to obtain legitimacy by infiltrating the Shafii school of law-an attempt that surfaced in the eleventh century-was still developing and had to face two implacable forces blocking its goal. The traditionalist movement was represented particularly by two schools of law: the Hanbali and the Shafii. The former was the obvious obstructive force, while the latter included the Asyarite faction, which was hard at work to gain the adherence of fellow Shafiis to Asyarite thought, an effort destined to fail in the face of the alliance between the traditionalists of the two schools.

Already in the days of Ibn Asakir the traditionalists had introduced an institution that was conceived to correct, among other things, the detrimental consequences of the exclusory principle in the madrasah, according to which only those students who chose to belong to the school represented by the madrasah were admitted. This policy tended to be divisive, separating members of the traditionalist movement who belonged to all the Sunni schools, while allowing the Asyarites to stay within one school, the Shafii.

The new institution that helped to correct the situation was Dar al-Hadith, wherein the principal subject of instruction was hadith rather than law, and students of any of the four schools could attend. Thus a Hanbali professor, such as Ibn Taymiyyah, could have students belonging to the Shafii school, such as al-Birzali, Mizzi, and al-Dhahabi. The first Dar al-Hadith was founded in Damascus by the Zengid ruler Nur al-Din (d. 1173).

To the philosophical theology of the Asyarites, Ibn Taymiyyah opposed this famous profession of faith (aqidah; pl., aqaid). His first full-length work of creed, written at the request of the people of Hama in the year 1299 and therefore known as 'Al-Aqidah al-Hamawiyyah', was very hostile to the Asyarites and their kalam-theology. According to Ibn Rajab, Ibn Taymiyyah wrote this creed in one sitting. His other important profession of faith is the 'Aqidah Wasitiyyah', written for a group of religious intellectuals in Wasit (Iraq) before the arrival of the Mongols in Damascus. Both professions of faith were attacked by his enemies, and he was taxed with anthropomorphism. In a meeting in the house of the Shafii Qadi Imam al-Din Umar ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Qazwini (d. 1299) 'Aqidah Hamawiyyah' was studied; Ibn Taymiyyah was questioned regarding various points, and it was deemed to be satisfactory. Regarding Wasitiyyah, even the Ashari-Shafii Safi al-Din al-Hindi (d. 1315) found it to be in conformity with the Quran and Sunnah. Nevertheless, his enemies tried hard to keep him in prison, even to have him executed, but failed on both counts.

Ibn Taymiyyah's polemic activity extended to the philosophers, especially the logicians, against whom he wrote a refutation, 'Al-Radd ala al-Mantiqiyin'. He wrote extensively against the monistic (ittihadiyyah) and incarnationist (hululiyyah) Sufis and condemned as heretical innovations many of the Sufi practices of his day. Nevertheless, Ibn Taymiyyah was praised by the Sufi Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Qawwam, who said: Our Sufism became sound only at the hands of Ibn Taymiyyah, implying that Ibn Taymiyyah was not an outsider to Sufism.

Recently discovered evidence shows that Ibn Taymiyyah belonged to the Sufi order of the Qadiriyyah, named after the Hanbali Sufi Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, whom he praised and preferred to the other Hanbali Sufi, al-Ansari al-Harawi.

On the theological question of the divine attributes, Ibn Taymiyyah held that God should be described as He has described himself in His book and as the Prophet has described Him in his Sunnah. This classical traditionalist doctrine goes back to al-Shafii (d. 820) and to Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 855), the two great leaders of the movement, in whose works Ibn Taymiyyah was thoroughly versed. Ibn Taymiyyah and his famous disciple Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (d. 1350) drew much of their inspiration from the works of al-Shafii and Ibn Hanbal. From the genesis of the traditionalist movement the principal message has always been that the basic sources for belief and practice are the book of God and the practice of the Prophet.

Ibn Taymiyyah, in the title of one of his numerous works, emphasized the place of the Prophet in relation to the two fundamental sources: The Steps Leading to the Knowledge That the Messenger of God Has Already Made a Clear Exposition of the Roots and Branches of Religion.

For the Prophet, as Messenger, brought the book of God and was himself a living example of what should be followed. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah quotes from the introduction to al-Shafii's 'Risalah': 'Praise be to God . . who is as He has described himself, and who is exalted above all the attributes given to Him by those among his creatures who have described him.' And again: 'No event shall befall an adherent of God's religion but that there is a guide in the book of God showing the right way to be followed.' These two statements were quoted against the Asyarites, the rationalist movement of the period of Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Qayyim, as al-Shafii had said them some five centuries before in condemnation of the Mutazilites, the rationalist movement of his day.

Under Attack. Ibn Taymiyyah's troubles came chiefly from his opposition to Asyarite thought working from within the Shafii school, and also from his criticism of extremist Sufi thought and practices. His troubles were treated extensively by his Shafii disciples al-Birzali, al-Dhahabi, and Ibn Kathir, and by the Hanbali biobibliographer Ibn Rajab.

Ibn Taymiyyah's enemies finally succeeded in removing him from the scene. The opportunity was presented by one of his legal opinions (fatwas) entitled 'Travel to the Tombs of the Prophets and Saints' in which Ibn Taymiyyah prohibited such travel. His opponents pounced on this fatwa and charged him with demeaning the prophets and with unbelief. Eighteen jurisconsults, led by the Maliki Qadi al-Ikhnai, wrote fatwas condemning him. The four chief qadis of Cairo issued their decision that he be imprisoned in the citadel of Damascus. Other jurisconsults, including the two sons of the leading Maliki jurisconsult Abu al-Walid, had issued fatwas condemning that decision. They stated that it had no valid basis against Ibn Taymiyyah since he had simply cited the divergent opinions of the jurisconsults on the subject of the visiting of tombs and had given preponderance to one side of the question, a choice that was legitimate to make. But the decision stood without appeal. Ibn Taymiyyah was never to leave the citadel alive; he died there some two years later. Three months before his death, his enemy al-Ikhnai, against whom he had written a refutation, complained to the Sultan, who ordered that Ibn Taymiyyah be deprived of the opportunity to write; his ink, pen, and paper were taken away from him. But to the very last, his enemies could not quite get the better of him.

The biographers cite a number of statements made by Ibn Taymiyyah during his imprisonment that show the man's stature and state of mind. 'A prisoner is one who has shut out God from his heart.' ' A prisoner is one whose passions have made him captive.' ' In this world there is a paradise to be entered; he who does not enter it will not enter the paradise of the world to come.' ' What can my enemies possibly do to me? My paradise is in my breast; wherever I go it goes with me, inseparable from me.' ' For me, prison is a place of retreat; execution is my opportunity for martyrdom; and exile from my town is but a chance to travel.'

In reference to his enemies who strove to have him imprisoned: 'If I were to give all the gold it takes to fill the space of this citadel, I could not possibly reward them for the good they have done me.' And he often repeated the following prayer: 'O God! Help me to move my tongue incessantly in your praise, to express my gratitude, and to serve you in perfect worship.'

On 20 Dhu al-Qa¡dah 728 (26 September 1328), Ibn Taymiyyah died in the citadel at the age of sixty-five. The populace turned out in the hundreds of thousands for the funeral procession, which was compared to that of Ahmad ibn Hanbal. He was buried next to his brother, Sharaf al-Din Abd Allah, in the Sufi cemetery where other Sufi members of his family were buried.

Ibn Taymiyyah's influence has reached modern times. His teachings, first followed by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (d. 1792), became the basis of the Wahhabi movement in the nineteenth century and the guiding principles of the Wahhabi state of Saudi Arabia. Again, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, through Muhammad Abduh and Rashid Rida, they influenced the modernist Salafi movement.

The Twelth Imam of the Shiites is the Jewish Antichrist, from Helpers of the Sunnah

1)Mahdi of the Shiites will rule according to the Laws of David and the family of David: Al-Kulyani reports in his work al-Kafi, volume no.1, p.397-398:

a)Narrated Ali ibn Ibraheem -from his father-from ibn Abi Umair-from Mansur-from Fadhl al Aur-from Abi Ubaidah who reported: 'During the times of Imam Jaffar we used to go around like herds without a caretaker. We met with Salim ibn Abi Hafs who asked me: 'Oh Abu Ubaidullah, who is your Imam?' I replied: 'My Imams are from the household of the Prophet'. He then stated: 'You have perished and so have I for both of us have heared Abu Jafar saying: 'One who dies without recognizing his Imam, he dies a death of Ignorance.' Then I affirmed what he said. It was before that three or somewhat close to it (time span) when I entered upon Abu Abdullah and God granted me knowledge. Then I said to Abu Abdullah: 'Salim said such and such.' He replied: 'Oh Abu Ubaidah nobody here will die until he is succeeded by some one who does the same thing as his, and adopts the similar manners of his predecessor, and calls to the same thing as his predecessor did. Oh Abu Ubaidah, it was permitted that whatever was given to David was also provided for Sulaiman.' Then he added: 'Oh Abu Ubaidah when the Mahdi of the household of the Prophet appears, he will rule according to rule of David and Solomon.'

b) Muhammad ibn Yahya-Ahmad ibn Muhammad-Muhammad ibn Sinaan-Abaan who reported: 'I heard Abu Abdullah saying: 'The world will not fade away unless a person from us appears who will rule according to the rule of the family of David and he will not ask his house. He will give every one his right.'

c) Ahmad--Ahmad ibn Muhammad--Ibn Mahboob--Hisham ibn Salim--Ammar as Saabati who reported: 'I asked Abu Abdullah: 'On what will you rule if you are made the rulers.' He replied: 'By the rule of God and the rule of David. And if we are confronted by a situation which we cannot solve, Gabriel will reveal it to us.'

d) Muhammad ibn Ahmad--Muhammad ibn Khalid--Nazr ibn Suwaid--Yahya al Halabi--Imran ibn Oueiyn--Jaeed al Hamdani--Ali ibn al-Hussein said: 'I asked him by which law will you rule?' He said: 'By the rule of David, and if there is something which we are unaware of, Gabriel will reveal it to us.'

e) Ahmad ibn Mahran--Muhammad ibn Ali--Ibn Mahboob--Hishaam bin Salim--Ammar as Saabati reported: I asked Imam Abu Abdullah : 'What is the status of the Aimmah.' He replied: 'It is similar to the status of Dhul Qarnain, Ushegh, and Asef the companion of Prophet Sulaiman.' Then I asked: 'By what will you rule?' He replied: 'By the rule of God, by the rule of David, and by the rule of the Prophet Muhammad and by the revelation of Gabriel.'

2)Mahdi will speak in Hebrew: Reported to us Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Saeed al-Uqdah who said: Narrated to us Ali ibn al-Hasan at-Taymali who said: narrated to us al-Hasan and Muhammad the sons of Ali ibnu Yusuf, from Sa’daan ibnu Muslim, from rajaal, from al-Mufadhaal ibn Umar who said:Abu Abdullah reported: 'When the Imam Mahdi calls out, he will supplicate to God in Hebrew.'[ Shiite source: Al-Ghaybaa of an Numani, p.326]

3)The Jews will be the followers of Imam Mahdi: Sheikh al-Mufeed has reported in his Al-Irshaad from al-Mufadhaal ibnu Umar that Imam Abu Abdullah has reported: 'There will appear along with Imam Mahdi in Kufah, 27 people from the tribe of Moses, and seven from the people of the cave, and Yushegh ibn Nun, and Sulaiman, and Abu Dujjana al-Ansari, and Miqdad, and Malik Usthur who all be his (Imam Mahdi’s helpers).' [Al-Irshaad of al-Mufeed at-Tusi p.402]

And with this we summarize that the Mahdi of the Shiites:
Will rule according to the system of the family of David, and by a new Quran that is unavailable in our hands. And if someone asks where is the Laws of David, he will find the answer to be the Talmud without any doubt. And for this reason the Mahdi of the Rafidhis will take an oath on a new book as it is stated by an-Nu’mani in his work al-Ghayba, p.107: Abu Jafar said: ' By God, as if I am seeing him between the Rukn and Maqaam taking an oath of allegiance with a new order, with a new book, and a new leadership from the heavens.'

More strong Proofs that show Mahdi of the Shiites is the Jewish Antichrist:
When the Antichrist appears the Diaspora of the Jews will flock and gather in Jewish holy city of Jerusalem. Similarly when the Mahdi of the Shiites appear , all the Shiites anywhere will flock to him and gather in the Shiite holy city of Kufah.

When the Antichrist appears the dead Jews will be resurrected from their graves by him and they would join his ranks. Similarly when the Mahdi appears he will resurrect the dead of the Shiites and they would join his ranks.

When the Antichrist appears he will resurrect the enemies of the Jews and will punish them. When the Mahdi of the Shiites appear he will resurrect the Prophet’s companions and will punish them.The Antichrist will place on trial every one who oppressed the Jews. The Mahdi of the Shiites will place on trial every one who oppressed the Shiites.The Dajjal will kill 1/3 of the world population. Likewise the Mahdi of the Shiites will kill 1/3 of the world population.

During the time of the Jewish Antichrist the earth will be filled with bounties for the Jews, the mountains will turn into milk and honey for the Jews. When the Mahdi of the Shiites appear a river of milk and a river of water will burst for the Shiites.

And the points that prove the association of Mahdi with the Jews is:
a)When the Mahdi appears he will call out to God in Hebrew.
b)He will rule by the system of the family of David.

Here are the evidences:
It has been reported in Bihaarul Anwar that one of the Muwali of Abul Hassan stated: I asked Abul Hassan about the verse: 'Ayna ma takunu Ya’ti bikumullahu Jamee’aan'. He said: 'This is verse is pointing out to our Mahdi when he appears, God will gather our Shiites from different corners of the world.'
Al-Amaali has reported from Abu Abdullah that he was asked for how long will the Mahdi rule? He replied: 'Seven years who days will be stretched.....during this period God will raise the flesh and bodies of the believers (Shiites) from the graves.'
Al-Mufadhaal ibnu Umar has reported: 'We were discussing about Mahdi, and whoever dies he is awaited by our fellows. Abu Abdullah has said to us: When he (Mahdi) appears a believer will be approached in his grave and will be told: Oh so and so, your fellow (the Mahdi) has appeared, if you wish to join his ranks then do so, and if you wish you can remain in the mercy of your lord (in other words you can remain in your grave).'
Al-Majlisi has reported from Abu Abdullah who stated: 'Do you know with whom will the Mahdi start with?' the answer was negative. Then he replied: 'He will dig out the two culprits (Abu Bakr and Umar) burn their bodies and then let the wind to blow their ashes.'
Al-Mufeed reports from Abu Abdullah that he said: 'When the Mahdi of the household of the Prophet appears he will grab hold of 500 members of the Quraish and will chop their necks off. He will do the same procedure with another 500. This action will be repeated 7 times.
Al-Majlisi has stated a narration reported from Jaffar ibn Muhammad who reported from his father who heard from his grandfather that: 'When the Mahdi appears in Makkah and intends to go to Kufah, an announcer will call out: 'That none of you should carry with himself food or drink and should carry only the stone of Moses...when they place the front side of the stone on the ground, it will let go an ever flowing river of milk and water, which will quench the thirst and hunger.

Al-Ihsaaii has reported that Abu Abdullah said : 'The matter will not happen (victory of Mahdi) until a third of the people are gone.' He was asked: 'when a third of humanity is gone then what will be left?' Abu Abdullah answered: 'Arent you pleased that the remainder are you?'

Authentic Narrations of the Prophet about the Antichrist:
The Prophet: 'The Antichrist will descend in Marqand ...then God will grant the Muslims victory on him who will kill him and his SYIAH so much that when the Jew hides behind a tree or a stone, then the tree and the stone will say to the Muslim that there is a Jew behind me come and kill him.' (Musnad Imam Ahmad #5099)

The question arises here: Why did not the Prophet say 'Ittiba' or followers instead of 'Syiah' or partisans? They were actually called 'Rawafidhis' in the past but now they are called 'Shiites', and the Prophet doesn't speak of his own.

The Prophet said: 'To every nation there is a magian and the magian of this nation are those who reject the Qadr or predestination. If anyone amongst them dies do not attend their funeral, and if anyone amongst them becomes sick do not visit them AND THEY ARE PARTISANS OF THE ANTICHRIST and it is the right of God to join them with the Antichrist.' (Sunan Abi Dawoud #4072)

So the Shiites are the magians of this nation. Khomeini has clearly stated that he rejected predestination ( Tahreer al-Waseela vol.1, p.79)

The Prophet has stated: 'The Antichrist will be followed by 70 000 Jews of Isfahan, having on themselves Persian shawls.' [Sahih Muslim #5227]

Question: What makes the Antichrist go to Isfahan as it is a Shiite land and why is the involvement of the Jews in a Shiite city? Is this a coincidence?

America's 'War on terror' made Iran the new Middle East Superpower, from MSN News

Iran's influence in the Middle East has been bolstered by America's so-called war on terror, according to a new report.
The report, by researchers at think-tank the Royal Institute for International Studies in London - also known as Chatham House - says: "There is little doubt that Iran has been the chief beneficiary of the war on terror in the Middle East.
"The United States, with Coalition support, has eliminated two of Iran's regional rival governments - the Taliban in Afghanistan in November 2001 and Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq in April 2003 - but has failed to replace either with coherent and stable political structures."
The report, called Iran, Its Neighbours And Regional Crises, adds that the recent conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza and between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon have added to that instability.
One of the report's authors, Dr Ali Ansari, reader in modern history at the University of St Andrews, told Radio Four: "The United States needs to take a step back and reassess its entire policy towards Iran and work out, first of all, what does it want and how is it going to achieve it because at the moment everything is rather like putting a sticking plaster on a fairly raw wound and it is not really actually doing much at all."
The report, in its executive summary, says Iran has now superseded America as the most influential power in the Middle East.
"Iran is simply too important - for political, economic, cultural, religions and military reasons - to be treated lightly by any state in the Middle East or indeed Asia," it says.
It says the wars and instability in Afghanistan and Iraq have "further strengthened Iran", adding that: "The US-driven agenda for confronting Iran is severely compromised by the confident ease with which Iran sits in its region."
Concerning Iran's apparent attempts to develop nuclear weapons, the report says the country's importance in the region "helps explain why Iran feels able to resist western pressure".
"While the US and Europeans slowly grind the nuclear issue through the mills of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations Security Council, Iran continues to prevaricate, feeling confident of victory as conditions turn ever more in its favour," it says.

Emergence of the Antichrist and the New World Order, by Ahmad Mokhzani Abdullah

The UNIFOND Organization, part of The UNU Group is preparing an important piece of work relating to the future World events, in particular the Antichrist (Islamic 'Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal'), in the Malay Language called Menanti Imam Ke-12:Peranan Revolusi Iran Di Belakang Tabir Dalam Mempersiapkan Kedatangan Dajjal. It will be translated into Arabic and English soon to reach Arab and Western worlds.

The work is not meant to incite hatred between religionists but to raise their awareness, with the hope of building a better world.

Hopefully it will expose the hidden hands behind the current World situations that the International public probably had never even known of, discussing:

The Judaic origins of Shiism. Shiism and Islam are two different religions. Penetration of the Kharijites into Shiism after demise of the Caliph Ali. They were extreme Muslims who had left Islam and war was declared by Ali against them following advice of the Prophet Muhammad who insisted on killing them for they will be followers of The Antichrist. Prophecy by the Prophet that the Antichrist will appear among the Kharijites. The book traces the religious lineage of present Shiites back to their Kharijite forefathers.

Hizbullah's involvement in the killing of innocent civilians of Shabra Shatila. What are they up to now in Lebanon? Are they are trying to ignite the Middle East into potential World War Three and more dangerously attempting to win the attention of the Islamic World?

The secret US-Iran relationships. Enemies in public but friends in private. 'Irangate' scandal touched. Khomeini's path to power eased by the White House. Khomeini's strange beliefs and diversion from true Islamic teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. The mention by the Prophet Muhammad of the appearance of the Antichrist in Isfahan, Iran. Why in Iran, an Islamic fundamentalist state? Not in America?

Many Shiite scholars mentioned that The Twelth Imam, will also be the Messiah of the Jews and the Christians. Will it be the same figure who will appear as The Twelth Imam of the Shiites, Moshiach of the Jews and Christ of the Christians? Will he be the Antichrist?

The prophecy of the Prophet Muhammad in authentic narrations that the Antichrist will appear within the Muslim world (between Syria and Iraq), and not in the West as imagined by many Muslims. Several Biblical scholars argued based on their research that The Beast will come from the Eastern leg of The Roman Empire (now the vast area encompassing Syria, Iraq and Iran). The 3 countries are at present under the tight grip of the Shiite Governments.

Situation in Iraq. Countless of Muslims are being slaughtered daily by Shiites, assisted by the Americans.

Nostradamus prophesied that the Antichrist will destroy present Christianity and distort beliefs of Islam. Also mention by him of the taking over of Iran by placing a human decoy (Ahmadinajad?) into power and subsequently his future assasination before the Antichrist (Shiite Hidden Imam?) appears on the scene.

The Hojjatieh Society, a secret society now controlling President Ahmadinajad and all levels of the Iranian Government, having philosophy very much similar to Freemasonry, one motto being 'creation of order before chaos to hasten the arrival of the Hidden Imam'.

The Author's views regarding future World events in chronological order:

Appearance of the true Imam Mahdi appearing from Madinah, leading the World into Global peace and prosperity and paving the way for the second coming of Christ.

World War 3 will erupt in the Middle East, wiping out both Middle Eastern Zionist and Islamic Worlds.

Emergence of Iran as the new Superpower in the Middle East.

Appearance of The Antichrist on the global scene after the War as Saviour of Humanity, appearing simultaneously as 'The Twelth Imam' of the Shiites, 'Moshiach' of the Zionists, 'Christ' of the Christians, 'Maitreya' of the Buddhists and Saviour awaited by other religions. Possibility of the present Ecumenical Movement being precursor to the future New World Messianic Religion of the Antichrist.

The possibility of Greater Israel State being also Greater Shiite State.

If prophecies of Nostradamus can be relied, the taking over of Iran by the Antichrist, to be followed by unity of the entire Islamic Nation under him (The Prophet mentioned that majority of his followers will be deceived by 'Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal'), and eventually the merger of the entire Islamic nation with atheistic Russia and China to become the next Superpower. America's influence will be reduced greatly.

Finally, The Antichrist will be killed at the hands of Jesus Christ who will put an end to tyranny and oppression on the Globe. The Golden Age (The Kingdom of God) will be established with the second coming of Jesus, after destruction of the Antichrist and subsequently Gog Magog ( research on Gog Magog will be presented in a separate book).

Humanity will embrace Islam in large numbers. Christ will take humanity to the understanding of Islam as originally brought by the Prophet Muhammad and his companions; Islam that is pure from polytheism and innovations and Islam that promotes advancement in spirituality as well as economy, business, science and technology.
