[1] Principles Transmitted to Us for Almost Thirty Years by Senior Teachers from Senior Scholars Regarding Criticisms and Proofs

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Madkhali, may Allah have mercy upon him, in his refutation against Dr Ibrahim Ar-Ruhayli, may Allah rectify his affair, discussed something regarding refutation and who is worthy of carrying it out against a person who opposes the truth, as Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli laid down conditions whose fulfilment would be impossible in many Muslim lands. Dr Ar-Ruhayli stated that refutation is to be carried out by a scholar who is firmly grounded in knowledge- the scholar who knows the subject matter of the refutation in detail, its legislated evidences, the statements of the scholars regarding it, the extent of a disputant’s opposition against the truth, the origin (or basis) of the disputant’s doubts, the refutations of the scholars against the doubt and benefiting from the statements of the scholars in that regard. Also, it is obligatory that the refuter clearly distinguishes (or makes the affair distinct) through strong proofs in order to establish the truth in order to remove the doubt – utilising precise expressions so that nothing appears to the refuter or he understands something which the disputant does not intend. If this is not the case (i.e. if these conditions are not fulfilled according to Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli), then great harm will occur through the one who embarks upon refuting, but did not fulfil these conditions.

Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, responded to Dr Ibraaheem as follows:

“Well done to Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli for stating that refutation should be carried out by a scholar who is firmly grounded in knowledge, but the fulfilment of all those characteristics is neither found in every refuter nor in every refutation; therefore, if we were to make it a condition for every refuter and every refutation, corruption will appear and all the Ummah will be overcome except an odd number of people”.

Then, the Shaikh, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

“It is ascertained that the fulfilment of these conditions cannot be achieved (i.e. in every refuter and refutation) because you cannot find Salafi scholars who are firmly grounded in knowledge in the majority of the Muslim lands, but there are students of knowledge. However, despite this, Allah has benefitted (the people and the lands) through these students with regards to the spread of Tawhid, refutations against the Shirkiyyaat, bidah and superstitions”.

Then, the Shaikh, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

“And I ask Dr Ibrahim, if there is a land or lands where there is widespread bidah and evil deeds, the bidah of at-Ta’teel (negation of Allah’s Attributes), the Bidah of the Qadariyyah, the bidah of Irjaa, the bidah of Shirk related to the graves (i.e. seeking intercession from the dead in the graves or calling upon them), consumption of alcohol and violating women’s honour, however, there is no Salafi scholar or scholars (in those lands) who are firmly grounded in knowledge and do not fulfil those conditions (i.e. the conditions stated by Dr Ibraaheem), but there are students of knowledge who have read Usool Ath-Thalatha, Kashf Shubuhaat and Kitaab At-Tawheed of Imam Muhammad Bin Abdil-Wahhab, Al-Aqeedah Al-Waasitiyyah and Al-Hamawiyyah of Shaikh Al- Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Umdah Al-Ahkaam of Imam Abdul-Ghaniy Al-Maqdisiy or Bulugh Al-Maram of Al-Hafidh Ibn Hajr, then would it not be obligatory that they reject these evils in accordance with the knowledge they possess, or is it obligated to them to keep quiet due to the fact that they are not firmly grounded in knowledge etc…..? I believe that indeed Dr Ibraaheem will answer that it is obligated to them to reject these evils and put a stop to them in accordance with the knowledge and ability they possess, in fulfilment of Allah’s (command):

وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-Ma’ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden). And it is they who are the successful ones. [Aal Imraan. 104]

And in fulfilment of the Messenger’s (command), “Whosoever of you sees an evil deed, then let him (stop) it with his hand. If he is unable to do so, then let him (stop it) with his tongue. If he is unable to do so, then with his heart (i.e. hate it, consider it to be wrong and keep away from it) and this is the weakest of Iman”.

Therefore, whoever among them (i.e. those students of knowledge) has Sultaan (i.e. authority, knowledge or allowed within the law of the land ), it is obligated to him to stop these evils with his hand and tongue. The one who does not have Sultaan, it is obligated to him to stop these evils with his tongue, his pen (i.e. through writing) or his stature (amongst the people). I do not think that either a scholar or a student of knowledge would be in opposition to this. I believe that if those students of knowledge whom I have described (i.e. the ones who find themselves in those lands in which such evils are present) remain silent about stopping those evils, they would be included in the statement of Allah:

لُعِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَىٰ لِسَانِ دَاوُودَ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا وَّكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ
كَانُوا لَا يَتَنَاهَوْنَ عَن مُّنكَرٍ فَعَلُوهُ ۚ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ

Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dawud (David) and ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). That was because they disobeyed (Allah and the Messengers) and were ever transgressing beyond bounds. They used not to forbid one another from the Munkar (wrong, evil-doing, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.) which they committed. Vile indeed was what they used to do. [Al-Maa’idah. 78-79] [1]

Criticism Must Be Based On Proof

The Shaikh, may Allah preserve him, said: “The Salafiyyoon do not accept statements, except when they are based on evidence and proof”. [2]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali may Allaah preserve him] said, “And (with regards to) the person with the proofs, it is obligatory to take his speech (on the grounds) of following Allaah’s Legislation and Proofs, and not (due to) the personality of that person”. [3]

Al-Allaamah Rabee also said, “The seeker of truth is not diverted from the truth, fairness and justice due to admiration of the big personalities and being amazed by them, for indeed the truth is more worthy to be followed. It is not permissible to drop the proofs for the sake of this or that great man. The principle [rule] of the Muslim – the unbiased one, the seeker of truth – is always: [قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ -Say, bring forth your proofs if you are truthful]. [Surah An-Nahl. Verse 64] [4]

The Shaikh, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

When you speak about a Muslim, whether an individual who is a Mubtadi or a Sunni, firstly, examine yourself. What do you want through this speech? “Whoever believes in Allah and the last day should either speak good or remain silent”. If in this speech of yours there is good for the Muslims by warning them about this man, and your intention is to seek Allah’s Face, you intend to sincerely advice the ummah, then speak while being cautious of entering into personal desires and personal goals for revenge against this or that person. If the speech stem from an intention for revenge, this would be detrimental to the person (i.e the speaker) and would exceed the permissible allowance in this matter, whose initial basis is fundamentally prohibited. This is because Allah has forbidden backbiting and tale carrying, as these matters corrupt the lives of Muslims. A Muslim should resort to (such speech) only in cases of dire necessity. He does not unleash his tongue to speak freely. Instead, he only speaks out of necessity and when he knows completely that this matter is incumbent upon him and the people will benefit from it. May Allah bless you, be conscious (mindful) regarding this subject matter. [5]

The Shaikh, may Allah have mercy upon him, also said:

The Shaikh, may Allah have mercy upon him, also stated: Criticism must be accompanied with sound Aqeedah as pointed out by Khateeb al-Baghdaadee. There has to be knowledge of the reasons behind the criticism – the reasons must be known and there has to be – in the criticism – Wara (the piety that makes a person avoid doubtful matters lest one falls into what is forbidden and brings harm to himself in the Afterlife) and Taqwa [Fear of Allah]. So if the person who carries out the criticism has knowledge regarding the subject matter “Criticism and Praise”, and he has Wara and Taqwa, then he can carry out criticism. And if the affair of the Majruh is clear and known to specific individuals and the general people-(for example), it is well known that this (person) steals, this one commits adultery, this one is a deceiver, this one is a rafidi shiite, this one is a Sufi who makes Tawaf around the graves and celebrates the birthday of the Prophet etc these are clear matters known to both a scholar and the one who is not a scholar, and it is not a condition that one has to go to someone who knows the misguidance of those people, (such as) a scholar to criticize them, because their affair is clear to the scholar and other than him. It is obligated to every Muslim to make known the affair of such (deviants, sinners, deceivers), warn against them and reject their acts of misguidance.

The Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, “Whoever sees an evil deed, then let him stop it with his hand…etc” (see footnote a) “The religion is sincerity of purpose.” We said, “To whom?” He said, “To Allāh, His Book, His Messenger, the leaders of the Muslims and their general folk.” (see footnote b)

At present if you see a rafidi intermingling with a Muslim who is a commoner and calling him to rafd (i.e. the beliefs of the rafidah), do you go to a scholar to refute that shiite! A Sufi grave worshipper intermingles with a commoner who is upon a sound natural disposition and directs him to his bidah, whilst I know that he is a grave worshipper, then no one can make it obligated to me to go to a scholar to clarify the affair of that grave worshipper and to warn against him. [6] [end of quotes]

———————————

Footnote a: Imam Abdul Aziz Bin Baz, may Allāh have mercy upon him, was asked: Is enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil by the hand an obligation on all Muslims, or is it limited to those in authority and their deputies?
Stopping wrong is obligated on all Muslims according to their ability, because the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, “Anyone of you who sees evil, let them stop it with their hand; if he is unable, then with their tongue; and if unable, then with their heart, and that is the weakest of Iman’’. [Muslim, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi & others]

However, stopping evil with the hand must be based on ability and should not result in greater corruption or evil. A man has the right to rectify matters with his hand in his home [i.e. based on what the law of the land allows him]; a manager has the authority to make changes with the hand within the organization they are responsible for, in accordance with the instructions that were given to them [i.e. the authority given to them by the state authorities]; otherwise, people should not change with their hand anything they are not authorised to change. If they do make changes in matters that they have no authority over, this will result in more evil and great corruption between them and the people and between the people and the state.

In this case they should stop evil with their tongue (by speaking out). They may say: ‘’O so and so! Fear Allah! This is not permissible; this is Haram, or this is obligated to you,’’ and clarify it with evidence from Shariah. [NB: In the UK, objecting to certain behaviour can be viewed as harassment or verbal abuse, therefore a Muslim should be aware of what the law allows him before he says or does anything whilst living in the West].

As for changing matters with the hand, this should be done where one has authority, such as one’s home [i.e. within what the law allows], with those under one’s responsibility, or those authorised by the ruler, such as organisations given permission and authority to enjoin good. They should make changes in accordance with the authority they have been given- in the way prescribed by the Shariah, without exceeding their jurisdiction. The same applies to the governor of a city; he should make changes with his hand, in accordance with the instructions he has. [7]

Written by abumuaawiyah on . Posted in Basics, Contemporary Issues, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah said:

وَلَا تَلْبِسُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

And mix not truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth while you know (the truth). [Al-Baqarah 42]

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

He (Allah) prohibits mixing truth with falsehood and concealing (truth). Mixing truth with falsehood is to confound truth with falsehood until one of them is confused for the other, and from this (results) deception, fraudulent maneuver, and cheating whose underlying reality contradicts the outward appearance. Similarly, when the truth is cloaked in falsehood, the perpetrator manifests falsehood in the image of truth and utters a wording that carries two meanings—a correct meaning and a false one, thus the listener may mistakenly think that the perpetrator intended the correct meaning, while his actual intent is falsehood. This is Ijmaal Fil Lafdh [general, unrestricted wording (or speech)]. As for ambiguity in meaning, it can manifest in two ways; one of which is truth while the other is false; its correct intended aspect is misconstrued, thus its intended meaning becomes false. The basis of Bani Adam’s misguidance lies in general wordings and ambiguous meanings, particularly when they encounter confused minds; so how about when accompanied by vain desires and fanatism? Therefore, ask the One (Allah) Who keeps the hearts steadfast to keep your heart steadfast in the religion He has ordained, and not allow you to fall into this darkness. [1]

He, may Allah have mercy upon him, also said:

“If the speaker falls short in his clarification and addresses the listener with vague terms that may encompass various interpretations, and the listener remains uncertain of the intended meaning; if this arises from the speaker’s inability, the listener is given from the speaker’s inability rather than his intent. If the speaker possesses the ability and he does not do so while it is obligated to him to do so, he gives the listener from his evil intent”. [2]

Shaikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, as follows:

“It is incumbent that the expression conveys the intended meaning through the appropriate terminology. Should the term be explicit or evident, the objective is achieved. However, if the term possesses dual interpretations—one valid and the other erroneous—the intended meaning must be clarified. In instances where the term suggests a flawed interpretation, it should only be employed with an explanation that mitigates any potential misunderstanding. Furthermore, if the term may mislead certain listeners into grasping an incorrect meaning, it should not be used if it is known to carry such implications, as the primary aim of communication is clarity and understanding. Conversely, if the term accurately reflects the intended meaning but some individuals remain unaware of its significance without any negligence on the speaker’s part, the responsibility lies with the listener, not the speaker”. [3]

Gerald M. Steinberg said: “The International Criminal Court would issue arrest warrants charging the Israelite leaders with genocide and other versions of the blood libel”. [end of quote]

Response: The question of who the Israelite leaders are needs further explanation and differentiation, as follows: Some propagate the idea that they are the descendants of the first Israelites who lived in Palestine, and claim that they are the inheritors of those first Israelites who were in Palestine. They strive to disseminate the claim of the purity of this race that it is not mixed with other nations- a race that has maintained, in their claim, its purity. This claim portrays them, in the eyes of Christians, as the children of Yaqub, peace be upon him, and his descendants, thus they are the ones intended for the promises found in the Old Testament to the children of Israel. So, through this, they win the sympathy, kindness, and support of many Christians, especially with knowledge of the fact that the Christians sanctify the Torah and believe that what is in it is a revelation from Allah, The Mighty and Majestic. However, the reality opposes their claim of the purity of their race, and that is because a general observation of their appearance and features shows the difference in their origins. Some of them have European features, some have Arab features, and some have African features. With this difference, it cannot be claimed that their origin is the same, as they must have mixed with other nations from whom they inherited this difference in physical characteristics.

Furthermore, the Jews mentioned in their books that many of them married foreign women and that their women folk were also taken by foreign men, to the point that they attributed this to Prophet Sulayman – peace be upon him – (i.e. that he married women outside his race). It has also been proven historically that a big nation, the people of the Khazar state, converted to Judaism in the eighth century CE. This nation had previously been pagans, a Turkic Aryan people who inhabited the Central Asian region, and their state, named after themselves as the Khazar state, was located in the region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. It occupies the northern Azerbaijani, Armenian, and Ukrainian regions and the entire South Asian region, up to the borders of Moscow, the capital of Russia. The Caspian Sea was called the Khazar Sea. It is stated in the Jewish Encyclopedia about the Khazars as follows: “The Khazars are a people of Turkish origin, whose life and history are mixed with the beginning of the history of the Jews of Russia. The nomadic tribes of the steppes, on the other hand, forced them to consolidate the foundations of the Khazar kingdom in most parts of southern Russia before the Franks established the Russian monarchy in 855 CE. At this time (855 CE), the Khazar Kingdom was at the height of its power, engaged in constant wars, and at the end of the eighth century, the Khazar king, his nobles, and a large number of his pagan people converted to the Judaism. The Jewish population was large throughout the Khazar province during the period between the 7th and 10th centuries CE, (and) it appears that around the 9th century, all the Khazars had become Jews and that they had converted to Judaism only a short time earlier. Then this country subsequently fell into the hands of the Russians, who occupied it and completely destroyed it, and seized all of its lands. It disappeared from the map of Europe in the thirteenth century CE, and its people were dispersed among the countries of Eastern and Western Europe, and their largest existence in Eastern Europe were Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Russia”. This clearly shows that the Jews who are called Ashkenazi, who are European, have no connection to Prophet Yaqub by lineage. [4]

Nevertheless, it cannot be asserted that there is not a single Jewish individual in the world who is not connected to Yaqub, peace be upon him, by ancestry. If such a connection is proven by any of them, it should not be refuted.

Secondly, the upright leaders of Bani Israel, particularly their Prophets Musa and Harun, peace be upon them, were not oppressors; in fact, Prophets do not engage in oppression. In contrast, Netanyahu and his associates, along with their predecessors, have been the oppressors of the Palestinian people for more than 70 years. Moreover, the Prophets Musa and Harun were not Zionists; they were Muslims whose primary mission was to command the cursed tyrant Fir’awn to worship Allah alone and to stop the oppression of the Children of Israel – the descendants of noble Prophet Yaqub, peace be upon him. Visit: https://www.islammoses.com/im/

Thirdly, the missions of Prophets Musa and Harun, peace be upon them, are entirely separate from Netanyahu and his Zionist associates. They were advocates of Tawhid and true believers, while Netanyahu and his followers promote disbelief following the arrival of the final Messenger, Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. Thus, it is important not to link your agenda, which has rightly been condemned as genocide, to the noble missions of Prophets Musa and Harun, peace be upon them.

 

Gerald said: When Jews worldwide sit around the Seder table and retell the 4,000 year old story of the Exodus from slavery to freedom, we have no doubt about the identities of the heroes and villains. Jacob (aka Israel) and his extended family, later to become the 12 tribes, were invited by Joseph and Pharaoh to settle in Egypt to escape the famine, and they prospered. [end of quote]

Response: The 12 tribes of Bani Israel, who are the descendants of the noble Prophet Yaqub, peace be upon him, entered the land due to the authority given to Prophet Yusuf, peace be upon him, who was a champion of justice and fairness, known for his trustworthiness throughout the land. Because of his piety and commendable patience, Allah elevated his status. Read:

Set me over the storehouses of the land….

Gerald said: But then, their descendants were enslaved for over 200 years, and the reigning Pharaoh, concerned that they would join with Egypt’s enemies, ordered the murder of male Israelite children – a form of genocide. When the slaves cried out, God heard and appointed Moses to lead them out of the house of bondage through 10 plagues that devastated the entire Egyptian population. [end of quote]

Response: The suffering endured by Bani Israel under Fir’awn is widely recognized and doesn’t need further explanation in this article. However, Gerald has undermined his own argument by referencing the violence inflicted upon the children of Israel, as this mirrors the actions of Netanyahu and his associates against the Palestinians over the last 70 years. Beyond the daily occurrences, they also make their intentions clear. Read and listen:

We also, without any reservation, denounce any Muslim who participated in the killing of non-combatants and unarmed civilians on October 7, whether under the command of Hamas or other groups. This stance has been clearly articulated by Prince Turkui Al-Faisal, may Allah protect him. Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3-cWyFcK5w

 

Gerald said: Today, if these events transpired, the powerful “human rights” industry, led by the UN and the NGO superpowers (Human Rights Watch and Amnesty) would issue lengthy reports, hold press conferences and publish posts on social media platforms condemning Moses and Aaron as war criminals. The International Criminal Court would issue arrest warrants charging the Israelite leaders with genocide and other versions of the blood libel. Campus mobs under the heading of Students for Justice for Pharaoh (SJP), supported by their “progressive” allies, would be vandalizing buildings, intimidating Israelites (now Jews – descendants from the tribe of Judah), and demanding the return of the runaway slaves to their Egyptian taskmaster. [end of quote]

Response: This is merely a mix of empty talk, nonsense, and unreasonable emotional manipulation. To begin with, it was the same UN, influenced by Christian Zionists, that supported your cause against the Palestinians. [Footnote a] Secondly, it was the honourable Musa and Harun, peace be upon them, along with the Children of Israel, who faced oppression, while Netanyahu and his associates are the current aggressors. Lastly, nothing could have prevented the noble Prophet Musa and Harun from carrying out their mission rooted in pure Tawhid, justice, truthfulness, and fairness. The following verses clearly demonstrates the plan of the Al-Mighty, All-Wise Creator:

And We inspired the mother of Musa (Moses), (saying): “Suckle him [Musa (Moses)], but when you fear for him, then cast him into the river and fear not, nor grieve. Verily! We shall bring him back to you, and shall make him one of (Our) Messengers.” Then the household of Fir’aun (Pharaoh) picked him up, that he might become for them an enemy and a (cause of) grief. Verily! Fir’aun (Pharaoh), Haman and their hosts were sinners. And the wife of Fir’aun (Pharaoh) said: “A comfort of the eye for me and for you. Kill him not, perhaps he may be of benefit to us, or we may adopt him as a son.” And they perceive not (the result of that). And the heart of the mother of Musa (Moses) became empty [from every thought, except the thought of Musa (Moses)]. She was very near to disclose his (case, i.e. the child is her son), had We not strengthened her heart (with Faith), so that she might remain as one of the believers. And she said to his [Musa’s (Moses)] sister: “Follow him.” So she (his sister) watched him from a far place secretly, while they perceived not. And We had already forbidden (other) foster suckling mothers for him, until she (his sister came up and) said: “Shall I direct you to a household who will rear him for you, and sincerely they will look after him in a good manner?” So did We restore him to his mother, that she might be delighted, and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the Promise of Allah is true. But most of them know not. And when he attained his full strength, and was perfect (in manhood), We bestowed on him Hukman (Prophethood, right judgement of the affairs) and religious knowledge [of the religion of his forefathers i.e. Islamic Monotheism]. And thus do We reward the Muhsinun (i.e. good doers). [Al-Qasas 7-14]

Gerald said: How did this ludicrous inversion of oppressor and oppressed, and of victimizer and victim take place? Who is responsible for erasing, distorting and appropriating the moral principles that distinguish between right and wrong? And, most importantly, how can the modern theater of the absurd be shut down, and the core foundations of morality, embodied in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, be restored? TO ANSWER these questions, we begin with the pervasive conspiratorial Jew-hatred anchored in post-Holocaust antisemitism. Its adherents reject any form of Jewish sovereignty in our ancient homeland – the Land of Israel to where the Israelites returned 40 years after leaving Egypt. The essence of today’s “Israel derangement syndrome” – as prominently displayed in the activities of Kenneth Roth, who ran HRW for 30 years, and Agnes Callamard of Amnesty International – is not on “occupation” and settlements that followed the 1967 Six Day War. [end of quote]

Response: How can you attempt to distort the narrative and engage in this absurd reversal of oppressor and oppressed, as well as victim and victimizer? Who is accountable for the erasure, distortion, and appropriation of the moral principles that clearly differentiate Zionist propaganda and oppression from the suffering of Palestinians over the last 70 years? Most importantly, how can we put an end to this modern theater of the absurd and challenge the foundational claims of morality that are rooted in the false assertions of Netanyahu regarding land that rightfully does not belong to him and his henchmen? To address these questions, we start with the frequent and exaggerated use of the anti-Semitism card, which is waved every time Netanyahu and his henchmen are justly called out. We denounce anti-Semitism when it is clearly identified and not politicised. The land does not solely belong to you, nor were you its first inhabitants. Therefore, if there is such a thing as “Israel derangement syndrome,” it is merely a fitting label for those who claim ownership of what is not theirs—both from religious and historical viewpoints—while expecting the world to ignore this reality, or else be branded as anti-Semites.

Gerald said: Rather, the successful creation of Israel and its survival remains the core “crime.” The 1947 UN Partition Plan (the original two states for two peoples) and the victory of the Jews over the invading Arab armies were spun into nefarious Zionist plots, aided by the imperialist West. As a result, for them, Israelis have no inherent right of self-defense – all military actions, including after the October 7 atrocities, are automatically and cynically defined as war crimes and worse. In parallel, Palestinian Arabs (aided by UNRWA and the “refugee” industry) are perpetual victims, and any act against the hated Zionists, no matter how brutal, is embraced as “resistance.” In today’s backwards world, the EU, NGO and UN network would denounce the ten plagues as a highly disproportionate use of force, and demand the return of the slaves to their Egyptian owners. [end of quote]

Response: Muslims, Jews, and Christians coexisted peacefully in Palestine before the emergence of the Zionist agenda, without the conflicts we witness today. The injustice faced by the Palestinians is as evident as the midday sun, regardless of whether a two-state solution succeeds or the Zionist movement prevails. It is undeniable that Christian Zionist imperialists have supported you, as we have clearly shown in the references provided in Footnote a. The right to self-defense is a gift from Allah to everyone, and no one should endure oppression; however, you have been the oppressors for over 70 years. The events of October 7 cannot justify the excessive violence and brutality that you have perpetrated for more than a year. We have previously condemned all actions that harmed non-combatants and unarmed civilians on that day, but it is impossible to ignore that the ruthless Netanyahu has exploited this situation to advance his malicious agenda. Please listen again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3-cWyFcK5w

Gerald said: THIS PARTICULAR and obsessive focus on Israel is accompanied by a broader anti-Western, anti-democratic ideology that blames Western colonialism for all of the world’s problems, and automatically assigns victimhood to “the Third World,” Global South, and “people of color.” In this straitjacket of fake history, just as Palestinians are not held accountable for mass murder and barbarism, the same is true for non-Western dictatorships throughout the world. [end of quote]

Response: Those who truly deserve the label of obsession are Netanyahu, his associates, and their predecessors. They relentlessly strive to assert ownership over what is not rightfully theirs and frequently invoke accusations of anti-Semitism against others, especially when their violence escalates. It is important to recognise that Western colonialism is not the root cause of all global issues; rather, it is the lack of Iman and obedience to the final Messenger that lies at the heart of these problems. The Zionists, in particular, exhibit significant disobedience to Allah and His Messenger as they base their claims on outdated and distorted texts. While colonialists are often remembered for their brutality, which stems from their corrupt Iman, the underlying issues in the world can be traced back to defiance against Allah’s commands and those of His Messenger. Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, stated:

“Whoever ponders upon the state of affairs of the world will find that every affair of rectification is due to Tawhid, worshipping Allah alone and obedience to His Messenger (Muhammad). And every evil in the world, trial, affliction, scarcity (in livelihood), being overpowered by an enemy and other than that is due to (our) opposition to the Messenger and the call to other than (the way of) Allah and His Messenger. Whoever truly ponders upon this and examines the state of affairs of the world- since its beginning and until the time Allah will take it away and those upon it- he will realise this affair regarding himself and others, in general and specific (circumstances). And there is no Might or Power except with Allah –The Most High, The Most Great”. [Source: Badaa’i Al-Fawaa’id 3/525-526]

Additionally, before concluding this section, we want to emphasise once more that individuals whether Palestinians or non-Palestinians can never be supported if they harm non-combatants and unarmed civilians. We would like to reiterate the clear statement made by Prince Turki al-Faisal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3-cWyFcK5w

 

Gerald said: Other brutal colonial conquests, such Chinese imperialism as the Muslim takeover of much of Africa and Asia are simply erased. For self-appointed high priests of progressive morality, the worst offenders in any conflict are always the Americans and their allies. This dogma can also be explained as a theme in Christian theology that equates weakness (including victimhood) with morality, and strength with aggressive immorality. Highly distorted interpretations of the laws of war are the direct product of this philosophy. When the human rights propaganda industry is criticized for erasing heinous Palestinian Arab attacks (aggression), the response is to blame Israel, “which relies mainly on force, applied as brutally as deemed necessary.” Moses and Aaron could be accused of the same calumny. [end of quote]

Response: All praise is due to Allah. The Muslims of Africa, including the writer of this response, have been blessed with Islam. The historical presence of Islam in Africa is well-documented, and it is widely recognised that Africans chose Islam willingly, drawn by the exceptional moral principles inherent in this might and infallible path. While it is acknowledged that every conquest may involve errors and shortcomings, it is undeniable that since World War II, no group has endured greater suffering than the Palestinians at the hands of the oppressive Zionist administrations. Although the United States bears some responsibility, it is inaccurate to attribute the entirety of the issue to American actions; however, it is well-established that Zionist lobbies exert significant influence in the U.S. and elsewhere. This is a widely accepted fact, not merely a conspiracy theory. Also, if Christians perceive weakness as synonymous with morality and strength as linked to aggressive immorality, it is equally evident that Zionists often conflate excess and brutality with self-defense. The principles governing warfare cannot be dictated by human whims; rather, they are established by the final infallible divine revelation—the Qur’an and the Sunnah. While the attacks by Arabs on unarmed civilians and non-combatants are unequivocally condemned, it is essential to recognise that the violence and brutality exhibited by Netanyahu’s Zionist forces surpass all others. Thus, to compare the Zionist situation to the noble figures of Musa and Harun, peace be upon them, is a profound misrepresentation, as neither were oppressors nor supporters of oppression; they were indeed noble Prophets of Allah.

 

Gerald stated: Following this non-Jewish model, the polemicist Peter Beinart published a column in the anti-Israel and antisemitic UK Guardian condemning celebrations of Purim for encouraging “Jewish zealotry,” declaring: “As Jews celebrate Purim, let us end the slaughter in Gaza committed in our name.” In a sharp response, UK Chief Rabbi Mervis berated the false presentation of Purim and the “insidious attempt to cast Jewish history and identity as heartless and vengeful.” [end of quote]

Response: We refrain from generalizing all Jews, opting instead to evaluate individuals on their own merits. It is unjust to characterize Jewish history and identity as devoid of compassion, particularly given that many esteemed Prophets and Messengers emerged from the Children of Israel, whose lineage has been previously discussed. Every nation and community has its share of wrongdoers whose actions are often disavowed by some their own people. Just as many Muslims denounce ISIS and other brutal factions, some Jews also openly criticize the inhumane actions of certain Zionist administrations. Consequently, we do not categorize all individuals uniformly, nor do we hastily label someone as anti-Islam simply for critiquing a Muslim based on substantiated evidence of their behaviour. However, figures like Netanyahu and his associates often go to great lengths to brand anyone who rightly critiques them as an anti-Semite, especially when confronted with their genocidal actions.

 

Gerald said: With enough money and PR spin, the plagues and the drowning of Pharaoh’s military force could also be rewritten to falsely portray the Egyptians as victims of crimes against humanity and genocide perpetrated by the Israelites. In an age where history is simply one of many narratives – and the power of political spin machines under the facade of morality can turn heinous terrorists into victims – anything is possible. [end of quote]

Response: This proposal is utterly nonsensical, as Firawn and his misguided followers have been condemned until the Day of Judgment. This truth remains unaltered and is consistently referenced in the final divine revelation.

And he (Fir’awn) and his hosts were arrogant in the land, without right, and they thought that they would never return to Us. So We seized him and his hosts, and We threw them all into the sea (and drowned them). So behold (O Muhammad ) what was the end of the Zalimun [wrong-doers, polytheists and those who disbelieved in the Oneness of their Lord (Allah), or rejected the advice of His Messenger Musa (Moses)]. And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will not be helped. And We made a curse to follow them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will be among Al-Maqbuhun (those who are prevented to receive Allah’s Mercy or any good, despised or destroyed, etc.) [Al-Qasas. 39-42]

The Fire; they are exposed to it, morning and afternoon, and on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): “Cause Fir’aun’s (Pharaoh) people to enter the severest torment!” [Al-Ghafir 44]

Therefore, this narrative will remain unchanged. Every text has been distorted, similar to how the Torah and the Injeel have been altered. However, the Qur’an and Sunnah will remain intact and uncorrupted. Consequently, the account found in the Qur’an regarding the tyrannical Fir’awn and his followers will always remain consistent and cannot be misrepresented. Allah stated: [إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ – Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Quran) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption). [Al-Hijr 9]

We ask Allah for truthfulness and sound determination in responding to Gerald and his ilk, and may Allah guide him to Islam Aameen.

He, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

It is incumbent upon the Ta’ifah Al-Mansurah (the victorious group)- which Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stated would remain and triumph, neither harmed by those who betray them nor by those who oppose them until the promise of Allah, The Blessed and Most High, is fulfilled (i.e. the day of Judgement); it is incumbent upon this blessed and good group to establish brotherhood for the sake of Allah, collaborate on righteousness and piety, and diligently strive to maintain the great status of being manifest on the truth- neither harmed by those who betray them nor by those who oppose them. This truth cannot be recognised (or acknowledged) about them except through (their adherence) to the knowledge inherited from Allah’s Prophets and His Messengers, and from the Seal of the Prophets – peace and blessings be upon them. The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets in conveying Allah’s message and delivering His commandments with regards to enjoining good and forbidding evil. There is a great deal of goodness for the Ummah in calling to the path of Allah, enjoining good and forbidding evil. Enjoining good and forbidding evil requires abundant knowledge (with regards to what the person is enjoining or forbidding).

Mathilda, do you remember the “Friendship Song?!”

Written by abumuaawiyah on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Basics, Bid'ah (Innovation), Contemporary Issues, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations, Sin.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah [The Exalted] says:

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ أَزۡوَٲجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعۡيُنٍ۬ وَٱجۡعَلۡنَا لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

And those who say: “Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders for the Muttaqun (the pious people). [Surah al-Furqan. Ayah 74]

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: They ask Allah to grant them the comfort of the eye by making their wives and offspring obedient to Allah, grant them happiness in their hearts due to being followed by the righteous in obedience and servitude to Allah. [1]

Allah, The Exalted, says:

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱتَّبَعَتۡہُمۡ ذُرِّيَّتُہُم بِإِيمَـٰنٍ أَلۡحَقۡنَا بِہِمۡ ذُرِّيَّتَہُمۡ وَمَآ أَلَتۡنَـٰهُم مِّنۡ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَىۡءٍ۬‌ۚ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِىِٕۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ۬

And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in faith, We will join their offspring with them, and We will not decrease the (reward) for their deeds in anything. Every person is held in pledge (only) for that which he (or she) has earned. [2]

Rational individuals would aspire for what is mentioned in the verses above; however, there are those among the Jews, Muslims and Christians who cultivate a mindset steeped in tyranny and brutality.

First, some Zionists composed a song as “The Friendship Song,” and disseminated by a certain Zionist online news platform before it was subsequently taken down. Below is a passage from this.

“Here the IDF is crossing the line; to annihilate the swastika bearers; in another year there will be nothing there; and we will return safely to our home within a year; we will annihilate them all, and then return to ploughing our fields”. [end of quote]

Mathilda stated:

Regarding the particular organization identified as Shiite, the creed of the Rafidah Shiites are well known, thus requiring no further explanation. https://abukhadeejah.com/the-devils-deception-of-the-raafidah-shiah/

Concerning the separation of boys and girls, whether advocated by Christians, Jews, or any other groups to promote modesty and deter immorality, no one should face censure for this practice, as it is commendable, much like the encouragement to dress modestly as prescribed by the Creator. For any reasonable observer, the concern shouldn’t revolve around segregation and dress code, as these aspects are unrelated to extremism and radicalisation. Millions of Muslims practice segregation between the two biological sexes and follow the appropriate Islamic dress code, yet they do not advocate for violence, engage in vandalism, or support any form of racist ideology. The real question is whether anyone has violated the laws of the land. If a community – due to their beliefs – prefers – in their own environment or where they are given the choice by others – not to mix with the opposite sex, only a bigot would seek to attack them. [Footnote a] However, if they are forced to free mix, they have a right to explore alternatives, as single-sex educational institutions are available globally, including in the UK. Therefore, as long as individuals are not violating the law or have pursued lawful alternatives, they should not be held accountable. Furthermore, there is no additional statement to be made regarding this group, whether they have breached the law or not, since it is understood that such issues would be addressed between the relevant authorities and the organisation in question. As for Mathilda and the others, they too need to take care of their backyard, as it is there that we discover the genocidal maniac and his accomplices. Read below:

Netanyahu shoots himself in the foot again!

Allah, The Exalted, says:

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نُحۡىِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَنَڪۡتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُواْ وَءَاثَـٰرَهُمۡۚ وَكُلَّ شَىۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَـٰهُ فِىٓ إِمَامٍ۬ مُّبِينٍ۬

Verily, We give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before (them), and their traces, and that which they leave behind], and all things We have recorded with numbers (as a record) in a Clear Book. [Yaa Seen. 12]

Imam As-Sadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: It is the good and evil outcomes about which they were the cause of its occurrence during their lifetime and after their death, and those deeds that emanated from their statements, deeds, and circumstances. [3]

Simple Solution to The Vehement Greed Witnessed During Tariff Disputes Between Nations

Written by abumuaawiyah on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Monotheism - Tawheed, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Sin, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestowed of Mercy.

Allah, The Most High, said:

وَلَا يَحْسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ هُوَ خَيْرًا لَّهُم بَلْ هُوَ شَرٌّ لَّهُمْ سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَٰثُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ

And let not those who covetously withhold of that which Allah has bestowed on them of His Bounty (Wealth) think that it is good for them. Nay, it will be worse for them; the things which they covetously withheld shall be tied to their necks like a collar on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is Well-Acquainted with all that you do. [Aal Imran 180]

ٱلَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَأْمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلْبُخْلِ وَيَكْتُمُونَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا

Those who are miserly and enjoin miserliness on other men and hide what Allah has bestowed upon them of His Bounties. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a disgraceful torment. [An-Nisaa 37]

Abdullah ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, “Beware of greed, for it was only greed that destroyed those before you. It commanded them to be miserly and they did so. It commanded them to sever their family ties and they did so. It commanded them to behave wickedly and they did so”. [1]

Allah [The Exalted] said:
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Woe to Al-Mutaffifin [those who give less in measure and weight (decrease the rights of others)], those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure, and when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due. Think they not that they will be resurrected (for reckoning), on a Great Day, the Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)? [Al-Mutaffifeen. 1-7]

وَيْلٌ

“Woe” is a word of punishment and threat of divine vengeance to those who give less in measure. Allah explained who the Mutaffifeen are in his statement:

الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ

“Those who, when they have to receive by measure from people, demand full measure”.

Meaning, they take from them in full what is established to be their due and demand in full without any loss.

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ

“And when they have to give by measure or weight to people, give less than what is due”.

Meaning, when they give the people what they are entitled to by way of measure or weight, they give them less- either by giving short measure or weight, or by not giving the full measure or weight, or by not filling the measuring or weighing equipment and what is similar that. This is tantamount to stealing the people’s wealth and not being fair to them. If this is the threat of divine vengeance against those who give short measure and short weight, then those who take people’s wealth by force or by stealing are more deserving of this threat than those who give short measure and short weight.

This noble verse shows that just as a person takes from the people what he is entitled to, it is also obligated on him to give them everything they are entitled to – whether related to wealth or mutual dealings; rather included in the generality of this Ayah are proofs and statements, because indeed what usually takes place between those engaged in argumentation and discussion is that each of them is eager to establish his proofs, therefore, it is obligated on a person also to make known the proofs possessed by the other person and examine the proofs of the other person just as he examines his own proofs.

In relation to this affair, the justice of a person is known as opposed to whether he is afflicted with bigotry, his humility as opposed to being haughty, his common sense as opposed to foolish behaviour. We ask Allah bestow on us every good.

Then Allah issued a threat to those who give short measure, stated with amazement regarding their state of affairs and their persistence upon what they are doing. Allah said:

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

“Think they not that they will be resurrected (for reckoning), on a Great Day, the Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of all that exists”.

Meaning, what makes them dare to give short measure is because they do not believe in the Last Day, otherwise had they believed in it and known that they will stand before Allah to give account – whether related to something small or big, they would stopped and repent.

Allah, The Exalted, said in Surah Hud verse 88 that Prophet Shu’aib, peace be upon him, said to his people:

يَا قَوْمِ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّي

“O my people! Tell me, if I have a clear evidence from my Lord”.

Meaning: I am upon certainty and tranquility regarding the correctness of (the Message) I have brought.

وَرَزَقَنِي مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا

“And He (Allah) has given me a good sustenance from Himself”.

Meaning: Allah has given me various types of wealth.

وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَىٰ مَا أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ

“I wish not, in contradiction to you, to do that which I forbid you”.

Meaning: I do not wish to forbid you, yet I myself do the same and eventually you will charge me for doing so, instead I will not forbid you from a matter except that I will be the first person to hasten to abandon it.

إِنْ أُرِيدُ إِلَّا الْإِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ

“I only desire reform so far as I am able, to the best of my power”.

Meaning: I do not have any other intentions other than to rectify your circumtances and the things that are of benefit to you. Because this statement of Prophet Shu’aib, peace be upon him, contains something that may indicate attributing piety to himself, he repels it with the statement:

وَمَا تَوْفِيقِي إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

“And my guidance cannot come except from Allah”.

Meaning: The ability I have to do good and to refrain from evil is a bestowal from Allah [The Most High] and it is neither due to my strength nor power.

عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ
“in Him I trust and unto Him I repent”.

Meaning: I rely on Allah in all my affairs and suffice myself with Him. I turn to Allah in all types of worship (through which) He has commanded me to draw close to Him by performing good deeds. Through these two matters- seeking aid and assistance from Allah, turning to Him in repentance, complete submission and obedience-  a person’s circumstances become upright, as Allah  [The Most High] said in another verse:

فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِ

“So worship Him (O Muhammad) and put your trust in Him”. [2]

We ask Allah:
اللَّهُمَّ اقْسِمْ لَنَا مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ مَا يَحُولُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ مَعَاصِيكَ وَمِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مَا تُبَلِّغُنَا بِهِ جَنَّتَكَ وَمِنَ الْيَقِينِ مَا تُهَوِّنُ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا مُصِيبَاتِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَتِّعْنَا بِأَسْمَاعِنَا وَأَبْصَارِنَا وَقُوَّتِنَا مَا أَحْيَيْتَنَا وَاجْعَلْهُ الْوَارِثَ مِنَّا وَاجْعَلْ ثَأْرَنَا عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى مَنْ عَادَانَا وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ مُصِيبَتَنَا فِي دِينِنَا وَلاَ تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا وَلاَ مَبْلَغَ عِلْمِنَا وَلاَ تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُنَ
وَلاَ تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا وَلاَ مَبْلَغَ عِلْمِنَا

Do not make the Dunyah our greatest concern. [3]

Al-Allamah Al-Mubarakfuri may Allah have mercy upon him, stated in his explanation of this supplication that it means: “Do not make wealth and status our greatest goal or the reason behind our grief, rather direct our greatest goal or the reason behind our grief towards the deeds of the afterlife. [4]

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ نُرَدَّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

O Allah! I seek refuge with You from miserliness, and seek refuge with You from cowardice, and seek refuge with You from being brought back to (senile) old age, and seek refuge with You from the affliction of the world and from the punishment in the grave. [5]

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated in Ad Da’u Wad Dawa regarding some of the sins inherited from the destroyed nations of the past, and among them:

“Taking more than one is entitled to is a legacy from the people of Shu’ayb, peace be upon him. The corruption and arrogance displayed on earth are inherited from the people of Pharaoh, and the pride and tyranny are legacies from the people of Prophet Hud, peace be upon him. Thus, the sinner is adorned in the garments of these nations, which are enemies of Allah”. [Ad-Da’u Wad Dawa’u. page 142]

Brief remarks on the views of a staunch American ideologue who backs Netanyahu

Written by abumuaawiyah on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Sin.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah, The Most High, said:
تِلْكَ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا وَٱلْعَٰقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

That home of the Hereafter (i.e. Paradise), We shall assign to those who rebel not against the truth with pride and oppression in the land nor do mischief by committing crimes. And the good end is for the pious. [Al-Qasas 83]

In this article, we will provide a brief commentary on the bragging and misleading assertions transmitted by Amichai Stein from an American ideologue. The claims of this ideologue once again reveal the entitlement of those who back Netanyahu and the IDF, as well as their ongoing efforts to distract readers from the core issue. They assert their actions without being able to justify their appropriation of what does not belong to them, instead merely making claims and seeking the endorsement of like-minded individuals.

Amichai transmitted: Just win, stop apologizing’: Florida rep. Randy Fine urges Israel to ignore global critics. [end of quote]

Response: We insist that this title could have been phrased like this: Just invade, which may result in more deaths or not, and you can also gain a greater advantage to seize more land and reinforce the invasion, plunder, brutality, and theft that has been ongoing since 1948. Furthermore, do not feel the need to apologise for anything, as the so-called most powerful nation on earth is backing you, even though they will eventually face their Lord one day to answer for their actions.

Amichai said: Republican Congressman Randy Fine, a staunch pro-Israel voice from Florida, is spending this week in Israel – and his message to the Israeli government is crystal clear: stop apologizing, stop trying to please international critics, and focus on winning the war in Gaza. [end of quote]

Response: No apologies are expected from Netanyahu or the IDF, nor have they ever tried to please anyone. They have never listened to those who reveal their crimes, which are as obvious as the midday sun since 1948. This is because they consider themselves above all accountability, moral expectations, and fair play. Instead, these matters  are subjected to their moral judgments, which are based on questionable claims of ownership and entitlement. Therefore, this American ideologue is only playing psychological games that are deceitfully played to present oneself as exceeding the standards expected of any rational person who is not aligned with a Firawnic and Namrudic temperament. The entire world observes the situation in Gaza, yet they gather numerous writers from all over to distort the narrative, obscure the reality, or divert attention from the main issue, which has been nothing but occupation and theft since 1948. They have demonstrated to the world during this war that they are capable of the most brutal and merciless actions against the vulnerable, all while framing it as collateral damage in their so-called self-defense.

Amichai transmitted: “Wars must end. Someone has to win, and someone has to lose,” Fine told The Jerusalem Post. “That’s how World War II ended. That’s how World War I ended. Israel’s problem is it stops wars without finishing the job.” [end of quote]

Response: This is not a war; rather, it is a continuation of brutality and impunity that has persisted since 1948, and an opportunity presented to them by Hamas. Furthermore, the issue this American ideologue has identified as a problem is not a real problem. Instead, it is a systematic approach to demoralising, oppressing, and brutalising a victim until they surrender. It is not merely a problem but a malevolent strategy that they attempt to frame differently to appear as if they are upholding all moral standards expected of rational individuals. However, their acts of brutality and the behaviour of their settlers mirror that of Fir’awn and his sinful followers, who dismissed every logical argument in favour of propaganda and a false sense of moral superiority. Despite Fir’awn’s evident criminality, he accused the noble Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. This is precisely what Netanyahu, the IDF and their die hard supporters are doing as well; they have been invaders and transgressors since 1948, retaliating excessively and unjustly. They are cunning, using the services and naivety of those who enable them to rationalise their brutality, such as Hamas and their counterparts.

Amichai transmitted: “I fully support Israel doing whatever it needs to do to get those 50 hostages home and ensure that Hamas is no longer in charge of Gaza. [end of quote]

Response: If the hostages were truly Netanyahu’s main concern, he wouldn’t have prolonged the war while causing the deaths of thousands of Palestinian women and children. Instead, his unwitting accomplice Hamas has allowed him to chase his more sinister objective: the appropriation of additional land and obstacle to the two state solution as demanded by Muslim rulers. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have proposed relocating Gazans outside of Palestine. This remains his agenda, and the only reason he has ceased discussing it recently is due to the backlash from the global community, including some of their allies who support him openly and others who do so covertly, as they find the idea too contentious. Regardless who governs Gaza, Netanyahu and his Zionist gang remain occupiers and thieves as long as they refuse to withdraw to the 1967 borders. However, no matter what agreements the Muslim rulers make with the Zionists to protect the innocent from Netanyahu’s unprecedented brutality and callousness since World War II, it would still be a better situation.

Amichai transmits: But for Fine, the battlefield is only half the war. The other front, he argues, is the information war, one in which, he believes, Israel is dangerously behind. [end of quote]

Response: This is due to the fact that lies, no matter how long they persist, will ultimately be revealed. Firawn engaged in deceit for many years, yet he was eventually uncovered. In a similar vein, Netanyahu and his gang have perpetuated lies, intimidation, and cruelty for a long time, and now, with the rise of social media, their fabrications, along with their true essence and reality, can no longer remain hidden. Indeed, they are perilously far from good conduct and fair play, and they are alarmingly close to the flames of hell if they persist in disbelief, deception, impunity, and brutality.

Amichai transmitted: “As strongly as Israel is winning the military war, it’s losing the propaganda war,” he said. “Muslim terrorists are good at lying. They’re willing to lie, and the world is willing to believe them. Why? Because of antisemitism.” [end of quote]

Response: This is not a war; it is an invasion characterised by theft and a lack of compassion, rooted in impunity and false assertions since 1948. While there are terrorists within various groups, including Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and others, it is crucial to acknowledge that there are also terrorists among Zionists and Jews. The Zionist state has perpetrated atrocities in recent history that no nation claiming moral superiority has committed. All terrorists engage in deceit, including Zionist terrorists and genocidal figures such as Netanyahu and his associates, but the global community is increasingly unwilling to heed their narratives. The reason for this shift is that their propaganda has become antiquated, and the public has recognised that terrorists excel at initiating their campaigns with propaganda. This mirrors the strategy of Firawn, who committed his offenses, disseminated propaganda to garner support from his people, coerced those who questioned his integrity, and subsequently accused Musa, peace be upon him, of being the wrongdoer. Netanyahu and his gang are replicating this behaviour: conducting an invasion and theft, but also exposing innocent individuals within their community to the unchecked emotions of those who cannot distinguish between the actions of Netanyahu and those of others. Antisemitism is a malevolent force, just as Netanyahu’s actions have been malevolent for a long time. The actions of Hamas against non-combatants on October 7th are reprehensible and denounced without any reservation, and Netanyahu’s subsequent retaliation has escalated into genocide and ethnic cleansing. Must call a spade a spade!

Amichai transmitted: “Israel is expected to do things no military in the history of the world has ever been asked to do,” Fine said. “You can never satisfy the unsatisfiable. So stop trying.” [end of quote]

Response: We leave you with prince Turki Al Fisal: https://youtu.be/Z3-cWyFcK5w

Truly amusing! Since 1948, no rational individual anticipates any form of decency from those specific Zionists who give little consideration to Palestinian dignity. This American ideologue is insulting our intelligence through his absurd psychological manipulations. Netanyahu and his gang have never aimed to fulfill anyone’s needs; otherwise, they would not have engaged in slaughter. Those who are impossible to satisfy have ceased their inquiries, as Netanyah’s horrific actions speak volumes in light of their assertion of moral superiority.

Amichai transmitted: He added that no one is truly starving in Gaza – except for the hostages – and accused international media of spreading falsehoods. “Israel is doing more to support its enemies than any country in the history of the world. It’s not the facts that are the problem. It’s telling the story.” [end of quote]

Response: No one is starving in Gaza!? This is yet another absurd claim that could only come from Netanyahu’s stooges and henchmen. Nevertheless, the hunger experienced by Gazans does not excuse the suffering of hostages. Every individual deserves to be treated with dignity. The greatest spreaders of misinformation are Netanyahu and his associates; in fact, Netanyahu propagated one of the most serious lies in 2001 concerning Iraq and its so called weapons of mass destruction. Despite the shortcomings of the international media, Netanyahu’s cruelty is unmistakable. You will all give account on the day of Judgement, regardless of who tells the tale.

Amichai transmitted: “Go to an Israeli army base. You’ll see soldiers heating food in microwaves, not dining halls. Why? Because they’re focused on staying alive, not comfort,” he said. “And just like they don’t prioritize gourmet food, they don’t prioritize winning the information war. But they should. The facts are on Israel’s side.” [end of quote]

Response: They satisfy their hunger to eliminate more Palestinians. At least they have sufficient food to stand tall. The facts are evident in this ideologue’s Zionist visage, being forcefully pushed down his throat while the truth suffocates him. When he attempts to expel the truth, the bitterness lingers on his tongue. Thus, he makes his absurd claims while frowning.

Amichai transmitted: ‘Stop Trying to Please Jew-Haters’. Fine did not mince words about international institutions and left-leaning media, accusing them of being driven by deep-rooted antisemitism. “There’s a disease in America: conservative politicians who want to be liked by The New York Times,” he said. “No matter what they do, they’ll never be liked. It’s the same with Israel; stop trying to win over the UN or Amnesty International. They will never like you.” [end of quote]

Response: antisemitism is not allowed, but it does not mean that the IDF’s atrocious behaviour is ignored nor should antisemitism be used as an political tool to silence people. Read here:

https://abuiyaad.com/a/muhammad-semitic-prophet

Amichai transmitted: Do what’s right. But also forcefully tell the truth about what’s happening.” [end of quote]

Response: Netanyahu and his gang are not part of this. They have neither acted correctly nor told the truth; instead, they overstep boundaries, deceive, and then exhibit a sense of entitlement and a victim mindset, retaliating excessively.

Amichai transmitted : “Look, there are 220 Republicans in the House. Two of them are antisemites. The rest? They love Israel,” he said. “In the Senate, all 53 Republicans have stood with Israel. So yes, the haters are loud, but they’re a tiny minority.” [end of quote]

Response: Here is your history with the United States and others:

An Overview of Christian Zionism in America Since the Arrival of The Puritans

American Christian Zionists’ Media Initiatives Aimed at Influencing Public Opinion, With a Brief Mention of The Concept of Greater Israel

The Initial Rise and Gradual Impact of Christian Zionism on Some European Political Decision-makers

Amichai transmitted: , “Some of these influencers are being paid by Qatar. The rest are old-fashioned neo-Nazis who’ve been around since I was a kid.” [end of quote]

Response: First, where is the evidence? Second, if they are compensating individuals to refute your falsehoods and reveal your cruelty, then that is a positive development. Regarding the allegations of Nazism, such claims necessitate evidence, and the responsibility to provide that evidence lies with the accuser.

Amichai transmitted: “Israel has never had a better friend in the White House. Not even Harry Truman,” said Fine. “Trump has Israel’s back.” [end of quote]

Response: Indeed, souls resemble enlisted soldiers, which leads us to anticipate that the genocidal Netanyahu will garner backing from those who share similar sentiments in their hearts. Even if they haven’t engaged in acts of genocide themselves, they are content to be mere onlookers, providing him with weapons and assisting in covert operations. However, once they reach the grave, there will be no allies present, as the angels will interrogate them unless Allah offers them guidance prior to their exit from this fleeting and trivial earthly existence. This life has transformed some individuals into feral beings, who care only for the cravings of their stomachs and sexual desires.

Amichai transmitted: “I dined this week with House Speaker Mike Johnson, who said that ‘Judea and Samaria belong to Israel.’ That’s unprecedented.” [end of quote]

Response: Let this American ideologue engage in meals with numerous sycophants, all the while being aware that his Lord sees through his willingly accepted deception, much like Haman and other leaders who flattered Firawn, despite his awareness of the falsehood he embraced. Remember, if he passes away in this state of disbelief, he will not share a meal again.

Amichai transmitted: “There’s a growing Judea and Samaria caucus in Congress. That sentiment is only getting stronger,” he noted. “Gaza proved land-for-peace doesn’t work. Israel pulled Jews out of Gaza, even their graves, and handed it over, and what did they get in return?” [end of quote]

Response: There will be no consensus on this in the eternal Afterlife, rather, one is held accountable for disbelief, theft, brutality, impunity and arrogance! They withdrew from that land because it doesn’t belong to them. You retracted because you returned one of the many stolen items. Incredible, so your remorse was not genuine, as you lament your own remorse. Some individuals plan to be remorseful before they commit a crime, which is bad enough, but you take it to the extremes by scheming for wrongdoing and then feel regret for your remorse. Truly astonishing! This can only be heard from Netanyahu’s supporters.

Amichai transmitted: “I don’t think you can make peace with people who take it as a religious faith that they have to kill you.” [end of quote]

Response: You don’t want peace, rather, you want to carry on the theft and brutality, and then tell a different story. You present yourself as morally superior while ignoring the root of the issue, and then you blame the victim for not wanting peace, all the while continuing your acts of theft and brutality since 1948. If peace is truly what you seek, the Muslim leaders have already provided guidance on how to achieve it. Instead of commenting on your absurd assertion, perhaps you should consider the statements made by your own people in this link:

Must take a look at what is happening in their own backyard first

Hanan Shai, stop insulting our intelligence!

Hanan stated:

Response: Hanan, stop insulting our intelligence- opinion

This is a brief reply to Hanan Shai, who aims to make the IDF avoid accountability while simultaneously isolating the primary cause of the conflict since 1948. It is an insult to our intelligence when these people try to misinterpret what is as evident as the midday sun. Hanan even attempts to show sympathy for the Palestinians, yet solely blames Hamas without addressing the fundamental issue at hand. The entire article represents yet another effort by these writers to shift all responsibility for the consequences of the situation onto others, both those who deserve it and those who do not, while consistently seeking to belittle our intelligence. Furthermore, the antisemitism card is frequently played inappropriately or exaggerated, as well as absurd comparisons to deflect blame onto others. This is not to suggest that antisemitism should be tolerated in any form; just as the far-right Zionist actions since 1948 are a heinous crime against Palestinians, antisemitism is also a grave offense when properly identified and not wielded as a political tool to silence those who speak out against the actions of Netanyahu, the IDF, and their supporters.

Hanan stated: There is a stark difference between the war zones of Lebanon and Gaza: in Lebanon, civilians can flee when fighting erupts. In Gaza, they are trapped. Hamas identified this and turned it into its greatest strength: civilians became its doomsday weapon. [end of quote]

Response: There is a clear distinction between the thief and the victim, the invader and the invaded, the oppressive colonialist since 1948 and the Palestinians, despite the attempts of the wrongdoer to switch roles, with the wrongdoer trying to present himself as the victim and the actual victim being labelled as the wrongdoer. Furthermore, in Lebanon, civilians have not been stripped of their homes, nor have they been brutalised and murdered daily since 1948, as is the case in Palestine. Although Hamas finds itself with nowhere to retreat in this conflict, the crux of the matter is that they should never have initiated the war or targeted non-combatants. On the other hand, callous Netanyahu and the IDF responded with excessive force while also pursuing additional objectives under the guise of self-defence. We emphasise that Hamas deserves condemnation for its actions against non-combatants, but there’s none who deserves more condemnation that those who have been murdering and stealing property since 1948. Thus, this comparison between Lebanese civilians and Gazans is a myth. Furthermore, Hamas serves as a tool for the Zionist far-right. Read:  https://abuiyaad.com/w/hamas-israeli-right

Hanan said: Recognizing the IDF’s core advantage – long-range precision firepower – Hamas devised three tactics to neutralize it: using tunnels for manoeuvre and combat, turning civilians into human shields, and controlling humanitarian aid to feed its logistics and dictate the war’s duration. [end of quote]

Response: Netanyahu is not genuinely at war; instead, he is attempting to rationalise the theft and occupation that has persisted since 1948. This is significant because prior to the emergence of Hamas, Zionist forces were already committing atrocities against Palestinians. Thus, no matter what tactics Hamas employs, the core issue remains the occupation and theft. Regardless of which faction provides Netanyahu with a pretext to continue fighting, he remains an occupier and a thief. Regarding the assertion that Hamas employs civilians as human shields, there are also accounts of Zionist soldiers utilising Palestinians in the same manner. In this context, both Zionists and Hamas are responsible in the sight of Allah for this brutality, as Prince Turki Al Faisal, may Allah preserve him, has articulated with great clarity. Listen below:

 

Hanan said: Despite massive damage, Hamas has so far prevented Israel from achieving its two central war objectives: returning the hostages and dismantling it as a governing and military power. At the same time, through false claims of famine and mass civilian deaths, Hamas generated a collapse in Israel’s international legitimacy and unleashed an unprecedented wave of antisemitism. [end of quote]

Response: Netanyahu’s goal is not to secure the release of hostages; rather, it is to further undermine the possibility of a two-state solution. The claim of dismantling Hamas serves merely as a distraction, as the far-right Zionists have previously utilized Hamas to their advantage. Read here: https://abuiyaad.com/w/hamas-israeli-right

Furthermore, to assert that there is no hunger or starvation in Gaza is akin to denying the existence of the midday sun. Regarding antisemitism, it is essential to combat it, but it should not be invoked while committing injustice, as the core issue at hand is occupation, brutality, and theft. If the IDF is despised for its lethal operations, that animosity is justified; however, any harm inflicted on a non-combatant Jew or any Jew living peacefully elsewhere should also be condemned. In this context, we unequivocally denounce the vandalism aimed at synagogues and other acts of violence. Read about antisemitism here:

https://abuiyaad.com/sn/muslims-antisemitism
https://abuiyaad.com/w/antisemitism-ernest-renan
https://abuiyaad.com/a/muhammad-semitic-prophet

Hanan said: The use of civilians: The IDF appears not to have anticipated Hamas’s use of civilians as a strategic weapon – neither before the war nor at its outset. Only after the new IDF chief of staff took command was a clear concept developed in Operation Gideon’s Chariots: severing Hamas from Gaza’s civilian population. [end of quote]

Response: The IDF and its predecessors do not have to anticipate any situation, as they have always killed Palestinians regardless of who stands in their path. So, why do numerous observers, including medical professionals, report that snipers deliberately aim at civilians? The Zionist forces have been committing these acts of violence since 1948.

Read below:

The Deir Yassin Massacre: Took place on April 9, 1948, near Jerusalem, during which between 107 to 254 Palestinians were massacred at the hands of the extremist “Stern” gang.

The Nasr al-Din Massacre: Took place in April 1948. Al-Lajjun Massacre: Took place on April 13, 1948, in a Palestinian Arab village in the Jenin District, where the Zionist Haganah gang attacked it and killed 13 people.

The Saliha Massacre: Took place in May 1948, during which 75 Palestinians were massacred.

The Abu Shusha Massacre: Took place on May 14, 1948, near the village of Deir Yassin, and claimed the lives of (50) citizens, including women, men, children, and the elderly.

The Beit Daras Massacre: Took place in northeastern Gaza on May 21, 1948.

The Tantura Massacre: Took place on May 22, 1948, in the occupied city of Haifa, and claimed the lives of about (200) Palestinians.

The Lydda Massacre: Took place on July 12, 1948, in the occupied city of Lydda, and resulted in the massacre of about (500) Palestinians, including (150) who were massacred inside the city’s Grand Mosque. The Zionists threw many of them alive into the town’s wells.

The Dawayima Massacre: Took place on October 29, 1948, when a battalion from the terrorist “Lehi” organization led by Moshe Dayan attacked the village and then began searching homes and shooting at its residents. Entire families were exterminated in the massacre, which resulted in the killing of 200 men, women, and children.

The Zionist massacres did not stop after the Nakba of 1948, but rather their frequency, intensity, and brutality increased in light of the use of more lethal and destructive weapons. Among the most prominent of these massacres were: The Sharafat Massacre, which took place in February 1951, in which 11 Palestinians were massacred, and the rest of the village’s people were displaced. The Bethlehem Massacre took place in January 1952, in which 10 Palestinians were massacred. The Qibya Massacre took place on October 14, 1953, in the village of Qibya, east of Jerusalem, during which (67) Palestinians were massacred, most of whom were women and children, and during which 56 homes were destroyed. The Qalqilya Massacre took place on October 10, 1956, when the occupation forces attacked citizens in the city of Qalqilya in the West Bank, during which about seventy citizens were massacred.

The Kafr Qasem Massacre took place on October 29, 1956, in which 49 Palestinians were massacred, including 11 children, when they were all returning home from work. The Khan Yunis Massacre took place on November 3 and 12, 1956, in which between 280 and 500 Palestinians were massacred.

In 1970, Zionist aircraft struck Bahr al-Baqar Primary School and Abu Zaabal factories, killing more than 150 Egyptian students and workers. In 1980, the extremist Jewish organization Kach attempted to blow up Al-Aqsa Mosque, and a shipment of explosives weighing 120 kg was discovered. The Sabra and Shatila massacre took place in September 1982. This massacre lasted three days, and its direct perpetrators were members of the Lebanese Phalange forces allied with the Zionists led by Ariel Sharon. The Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre took place on February 25, 1994, when a Zionist named “Barog Goldstein” stormed the Ibrahimi Mosque in the city of Hebron, and fired bullets and bombs at the worshipers. This massacre resulted in the massacre of 29 Palestinians. The Qana Massacre took place on April 18, 1995. [Compiled from various old Arab Newspapers]

So, where were the Ikhwanis of Hamas while the Zionist forces were committing murder? Was there anything obstructing them? Furthermore, some Zionist soldiers have utilised Palestinians as human shields, which means this war has no heroes, as articulated by Prince Turki al-Faisal. Listen again:

Hanan said: The proposed method: redirecting humanitarian aid to safe, organized distribution zones and transferring civilians to them, rather than allowing Hamas to control the aid. This would have enabled encirclement, starvation, and defeat of Hamas, while providing protection to civilians. [end of quote]

Response: Having been convicted of shooting civilians during their alleged aid distribution, they now seek to shift the blame onto others while attempting to appear more compassionate. Their true goal is not to defeat Hamas; instead, it serves as a facade for their real aim: to continue the occupation and theft while obstructing the two-state solution. Hanan, cease your lies and the self-deception you are engaging in.

Hanan said: According to media reports, this effort was blocked after three reserve officers claimed the civilian transfer violated international law. If true, this reflects a grave misunderstanding. The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits forced deportation but explicitly permits – and even mandates – temporary evacuation for life-saving purposes. Voluntary, protected relocation is not a war crime. It is a legal and moral duty. [end of quote]

Response: International law should be the last topic you bring up, as it is under America’s Zionist supporters who sanction and show hostility to any to speaks out very loud against Zionist brutality. No matter what happened in the above incident that Hanan mentioned, it is clear that not only do Netanyahu and his associates deceive, but they have also openly collaborated with others to express their intention to displace Palestinians after intentionally ravaging Gaza and then proposing to relocate them elsewhere. How can anyone trust Netanyahu and his ilk in their attempts to move civilians to safe havens when they bomb them no matter where they seek refuge? Therefore, cease invoking international law; instead, Netanyahu and his henchmen always act as they please and then play the victim. The entire world is aware of their deceitful tactics and falsehoods.

Hanan said: Jerusalem’s historical parallels

If this legal argument blocked the IDF from neutralizing Hamas’s human shield, it reflects a tragic failure: rigid obedience to the law without understanding its purpose. The result may be failure to defeat Hamas – just as rigid legalism once led to Jerusalem’s destruction. [end of quote]

Response: No legal constraints have prevented Netanyahu from killing civilians and devastating infrastructure to an unpredictable and unprecedented extent. His aim is not to neutralise Hamas; instead, they exploit Hamas to further their own objectives. Hanan attempts to insult our intelligence with their so-called rigid adherence to the law, while it is widely recognised that the Zionist utter genocidal rhetoric that have been documented by numerous organisations. Read here: https://salafidawah.uk/2025/01/15/must-take-a-look-at-what-is-happening-in-their-own-backyard-first/

Hamas serves as their tool for seizing everything that rightfully belongs to the Palestinians. Netanyahu and his henchmen are the least qualified to discuss adherence to the norms of civilised society, given their blatant brutality since 1948. Hamas is merely their pawn.

Hanan said: The Talmud recounts how Rabbi Zechariah ben Avkolas refused a Roman sacrifice due to a minor legal flaw. The refusal sparked rebellion and led to catastrophe. Rabbi Yohanan lamented: “His scrupulousness destroyed our Temple, burned our sanctuary, and exiled us from our land.” Excessive legalism, detached from moral responsibility, proved ruinous. [end of quote]

Response: What transpired back then holds no significance for us, as the final infallible revelation clarifies that all earlier texts, including the Torah and the Injeel, have been altered.

Hanan said: Israel could have presented the world with a moral and strategic precedent: Britain’s World War II Operation Pied Piper, which evacuated 3.5 million civilians, including 1.5 million children, from cities like London to safe zones. Churchill didn’t wait for mass death – he acted pre-emptively. His aim: protect lives and enable effective warfare. [end of quote]

Response: Britain was engaged in a conflict with another nation to safeguard its sovereignty, whereas Netanyahu and his predecessors are invaders, robbers, and perpetrators of genocide. Their deceitful actions and treacherous conduct make it impossible for anyone to trust that they have honourable intentions. Instead, it appears that their goal is to displace others in order to seize land and carry out nefarious deeds in secrecy.

Hanan said: Two desperate incidents: Gazan civilians, held hostage by Hamas and used as shields, deserve similar protection. Like the Israeli hostages, they too are captives.

As the proposed “Witkoff Deal” is hopefully soon agreed upon, Israel may gain the hostages’ return – at the cost of abandoning its second war goal. But if the deal fails, combat will resume under worsening conditions. Then, like Churchill – not Rabbi Zechariah ben Avkolas – Israel must act: evacuate civilians, reclaim battlefield initiative, and fulfil its moral and strategic duty. The choice will be clear: defeat Hamas – or watch Israel undo itself.

Response: Gazans and the hostages are held hostage by you and Hamas because it is a useless war. As long as Netanyahu and others persist in their brutality, they will keep committing murder, theft, and displacement, exploiting individuals like Hamas for a futile conflict.

The Beautiful Generosity of The Pious Predecessors During Armed Conflict

Written by abumuaawiyah on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Basics, Contemporary Issues, Featured, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Qur'aan, Salaf As Saalih (Pious Predecessors), Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

True Believers’ Attitude Towards Feeding Those in Need, Including Captured Combatants

Allah, The Exalted, informed us of some of the qualities of the Abrar – the pious, who fear Allah and avoid evil:

ويُطۡعِمُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ

“And they give food, in spite of their love for it”. – Meaning, they are in a state in which they love wealth and food, but they give precedence to the love of Allah over the what their souls love and seek to feed the people who deserve and need it the most.

مِسۡكِينً۬ا وَيَتِيمً۬ا وَأَسِيرًا

“The Miskin (poor), the orphan, and the captive”(1); saying:

إِنَّمَا نُطۡعِمُكُمۡ لِوَجۡهِ ٱللَّهِ

“We feed you seeking Allah’s Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you”. – Meaning, to seek Allah’s Reward. Mujaahid and Ibn Jubayr, may Allah have mercy upon them, said, “As for these people, they did not make this statement, but Allah knows this is what is in their hearts, so He praised them for it as an exhortation for the one who desires to do so”.

لَا نُرِيدُ مِنكُمۡ جَزَآءً۬

“We wish for no reward”. – Meaning, by way of actions;

وَلَا شُكُورًا
“nor thanks”.
Meaning, by way of statement. (2)

إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا يَوۡمًا عَبُوسً۬ا قَمۡطَرِيرً۬ا

“Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and distressful, that will make the faces look horrible (from extreme dislikeness to it)”.

فَوَقَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ وَلَقَّٮٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةً۬ وَسُرُورً۬ا

So Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadratan (a light of beauty) and joy]. [Al-Insan. 8-11]

The Quraish Attempted to Starve The Prophet and His Close Relatives

Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: On the Day of Nahr at Mina, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, “Tomorrow we shall stay at Khaif Bani Kinana where the pagans had taken the oath of disbelief.” He meant (by that place) Al-Muhassab where the Quraish tribe and Banu Kinaanah concluded a contract against Banu Haashim and Banu Abdul-Muttalib or Banu Al-Muttalib that they would not intermarry with them or deal with them in business until they handed over the Prophet to them. (3)

Usamah Bin Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I asked the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, during his Hajj,”O Allah’s Messenger! Where will you stay tomorrow?” He said, “Has Aqeel left for us any house?” He then added, “Tomorrow we will stay at Khaif Bani Kinana, i.e. Al-Muhassab, where Quraish (polytheists) took an oath of disbelief in that Banu Kinana allied with Quraish against Banu Hashim on the terms that they would not deal with the members of the tribe or give them shelter.” (4)

The incident mentioned in the above narrations took place when the Makkan polytheists had a meeting at a place called the Valley of Al-Muhassab, where they established an alliance against Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib. They agreed not to have any business transactions with them, no marriage ties, no visits, and no verbal communication with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and those who aided him. So, Abu Talib – the Prophet’s uncle who stood by him at the time – decided to move to a valley in the eastern suburbs of Makkah, then Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib also moved and they were all confined to a narrow passage. They remained in that situation for three years- from the 7th year of the Prophet’s Prophethood until the 10th year. It was a very repressive embargo that brought extreme hardship, and in addition to this, the vile polytheists bought everything that reached Makkah in order that nothing reached Banu Al-Mutallib and Banu Haashim. The situation became so bad that they had to eat the leaves of trees and animal skins, and children constantly cried due to hunger. They had nothing besides very little provision that was sometimes delivered secretly by some people in Makkah who sympathised with them. During the sacred months when fighting was not permitted, they used to go and buy provisions, but the prices of goods were inflated so that they would not be able to afford them. However, this great hardship never stopped the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from calling to the truth, rather he used to go to the Kabah and call people to Islam. By the grace of Allah, the agreement between the polytheists ended in the 10th year of the Prophet’s Prophethood, because some of them could no longer bear to see their relatives in that situation. (5)

The Quraish implored the Prophet to refrain from interfering with their food supplies, even though they had previously engaged in the same wrongdoing when they were in a position of power

Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: “The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sent a troop of fighters towards Najd and they brought a man from the tribe of Banu Haneefah who was called Thumamah bin Uthaal. He was then tied to one of the pillars of the Masjid. The Prophet went to him and said, “What have you got, O Thumama?” He replied, “I have got a good thought, O Muhammad! If you should kill me, you would kill a person who has already killed somebody, and if you should set me free, you would do a favor to one who is grateful, and if you want property, then ask me whatever wealth you want.” So, he was left till the next day when again the Prophet said to him, “What have you got, O Thumama?” He said, “What I have already told you”. The Prophet left him till the day after, and said to him again, “What have you got, O Thumama?” He said, “I have got what I told you. So the Prophet said, “Set him free”.

Then Thumamah) went to a garden of date palm trees near the Masjid, took a bath, entered the Masjid, and then said, “I testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and also testify that Muhammad is His Messenger! By Allah, O Muhammad! There was no face on the surface of the earth most disliked by me than yours, but now your face has become the most beloved face to me. By Allah, there was no religion most disliked by me than yours, but now it is the most beloved religion to me. By Allah, there was no town most disliked by me than your town, but now it is the most beloved town to me. Your troops arrested me (at the time) when I was intending to perform the Umra. And now what do you think?” The Prophet gave him good tidings of good in this world and the next, and ordered him to perform the Umra. So when he came to Makkah, someone said to him, “You have become a Sabian?” He replied, “No! By Allah, I have submitted to Islam with Muhammad, Allah’s Messenger. No, by Allah! Not a single grain of wheat will come to you from Yamamah unless the Prophet gives his permission.” (6)

The Prophet asked Thumamah, “What have you got O Thumamah?” He replied that he has good thoughts about the Prophet- Meaning, “You O Muhammad never oppress anyone, rather you are from those who pardon and do good”. So after he was set free, he entered Makkah to perform Umrah and then pronounced the Talbilya and he was the first to enter Makkah in that manner, so Quraish grabbed him and said, “You have the audacity to do this to us”, and they wanted to kill him; then a person amongst the Quraish said, “Leave him because you are in need of food from Yamaamah (i.e. from his land)”, so they released him. Then he said to them, “By Allah! Not a single grain of wheat will come to you from Yamamah unless the Prophet gives his permission.” Ibn Hisham said, “Then Thumamah returned to Yamamah and prevented the Quraish from bringing any food to Makkah, so the Quraish wrote to the Prophet saying, “Indeed, you command people to keep good the ties of kinship”, so the Prophet wrote to Thumamah to allow them to transport their food”.(7)

What Did Fir’awn and The Leaders of His People Say?

Allah, The Most High, said:

وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ أَتَذَرُ مُوسَىٰ وَقَوْمَهُ لِيُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَآلِهَتَكَ ۚ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَنَسْتَحْيِي نِسَاءَهُمْ وَإِنَّا فَوْقَهُمْ قَاهِرُونَ

The chiefs of Fir’aun’s (Pharaoh) people said: “Will you leave Musa (Moses) and his people to spread mischief in the land, and to abandon you and your gods?” He said: “We will kill their sons, and let live their women, and we have indeed irresistible power over them.” (Al-A’raf 127)

What Has Netanyahu and Some of His Supporters Said?

On Saturday 28th October, Prime Minister Benjamin ‘Netanyahu’ Mileikowsky announced in Hebrew: “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.” Of all the thousands of verses in the Old Testament that Mileikowsky could have quoted, he chose the ones pertaining to genocide of the Amalekites in Deuteronomy 25: 17-19. In this passage, we read the following: “You shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!” (1)

Firemen Arsonists

Allah, The Most High, said:

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ
كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُوا۟ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ

O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do. [As-saff 2-3

Firemen arsonists are a rare group of individuals who intentionally ignite fires and then hastily attempt to extinguish them to gain recognition. This situation is reminiscent of those who purposefully instigate conflict and discord, only to later advocate for peace. However, a notable distinction between these individuals and firemen arsonists is that the latter actively work to put out the flames, despite the fact that their initial act of arson is reprehensible and they are held responsible for it. In contrast, some individuals who provoke conflict and discord often refuse to take actions that would resolve the situation or retract their mistakes, yet they still offer pleasant words to distract from their actions or strive to present themselves as peacemakers, portraying themselves as individuals who prioritise knowledge over conflict, as individuals who disregard the misconduct of those who act poorly Blah Blah Blah, even though they have not initiated any self-correction. Below are several articles for personal reflection.
