O h Arab people! Th e Rasul, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, and may his nam e be hon oured an d m ay love of him bepreserved among the muminun, said that people would love

the Arabs by love of him an d p eople would hate th e Arabs byhatred o f him. It is because of our in tense and constant love ofhim that I am moved to send this message to you, howeverpainful it may be for you to receive. He also said, Allah blesshim and grant him peace, that the Deen was nothing but goodcounsel and it is in obedience to this reminder that thism essage is sent to you. It is well known in m edicine th at in greatsickness the patient may reject the medicine because of thebitterness of its taste. This is the station of the child. The

station o f the m an is that h e takes the b itter medicine because

he kn ows that th e pain an d th e damage of the illness would begreater. So it is that I trust that what is said here will be takenby the Arab men and women who must surely know howextreme and almost terminal their sickness is.

What is the sickness? This is the question of the intelligentpatient who wants to know, because part of recovery is tounderstand the sickness in order to be able to dominate it.

Well, it started as an inner sickness until it spread to the outerlimbs. At th is advanced stage of th e illn ess, for a comp lete cureit is too late to treat the inward and treatment of the outwardwould be most difficult because of the spread of the disease.However, with the light of reason applied to the condition ofthe outward and by an inward desire for health, that is by acomplete and integral treatment of th e total cond ition and the

diseased environment of the patient, health can be recovered,inshaAllah. The sickness itself is kufr. It began as inward kufrand it edged slowly throughout the whole body politic of thedisastrously fragmented Arab community until it spread in allthe p arts. A cure of the p arts would b e useless. C ure th e han d?The foot is diseased. Cure the skin? The organs are diseased.There is no cure for Egypt. There is no cure for Arabia. There

is no cure for Syria.

The doctor says to the patient when did this malaise begin?What are the symptoms? Can we observe the development ofthe disease? To cure alcoholism it is not enough to remove thetoxicity in the body, but also the metabolistic craving.Rehabilitation would also demand that you no longer sitamong the other alcoholics or frequent the bars to join in theconviviality of the addicts.

Know, oh Arab people, that Islam was sent down by Allahsubhanahu wa tala on the Rasul, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, giving us the exalted Quran, his blessedSunna, and the triumphant social model of Madinah.

W e h ave on ly sent you as a m ercy to all the worlds.(Al-Anbiya 106)

After the Khulafa Rashidun and the great Fitna the Muslimscontinued united and in expansion. Under the AbbasidKhalifate a great, extensive and triumphant civilisation wasfounded in the east. Balkh, Samarkand and Bokhara became

centres of tremendous learning and halal trade. When theMuslims there turned in on themselves to use their wealth theybecame weak and decadent and so Allah sent the irresistibleforce of Genghis Khan and the great Hordes. At that time IbnTaymiyya, h imself a Q adiri Su fi wh o gave pr imacy to th e Ah l-al-Madinah as the Umm-al-Madhahib, warned that the internalsurvival of the Muslim polity demanded an unrelenting, strict

and compreh ensive adherence to th e imposition of the Shariatconcerning the Dhimmis.

O n th e west th e Islamic presence established itself across N orthAfrica into th e Maghrib. From th ere the And alusian triumph ofthe Murabitun secured an ongoing Islamic presence insideEuro pe giving to th e world great scho lars and ph ilosoph ers likeAl-Q urtu bi and Ibn Rushd Al-Jidd an d h is renowned grandson .Th e And alusian, Eu ropean Muslim comm un ity survived just aslong as there was strong adherence to the school of Madinah

and this included the implacable obedience to Allahscommands, and the Messengers, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, to both protect and dominate the Dhimmis.Ironically the jews and christians were able to flourish onlybecause they paid the tax and were kept in check and in

hu m ility by this strict application of a law which guaran teed th epower, majesty and generosity of the Islamic way.

When Genghis Khan mounted the mimbar and made hisfamous declaration, I am the scourge of Allah! it must beunderstood that he did not say that he was a scourge againstAllah. In the depths of his being this extraordinary mansomeh ow knew that h e was cleansing and p urifying the ruin s ofthe great and betrayed Deen of Islam. Our beloved Messenger,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, has said that the

child is th e hidd en secret of the fath er. So it was that on e by on ethe sons of the great Khan in their turn became Muslimleaders. To their west the Turkic tribes had already taken onIslam, at first under the authority of the Seljuk armies. In hisearly days, further to the west, the followers of Osman Ghaziexpand ed th eir territory and their influence while nam ing theSeljuk ruler in the Friday Khutba. The Osmanli rule began on

the day that Osman Ghazi ordered his name to be saidthro ughout th e land in the Khut ba. Wh en th e great WaliullahYavuz Selim Khan took his armies south through Damascusuntil he reached Baghdad, the Khilafa of the Abbasids wassecured and the great Ummah of Islam was unified. On theperiph ery lay th e Sultanates of th e Malay, the realms of Mu gh alIndia, and the western kingdom of the Maghrib. All of thesemaintained the deepest spiritual and intellectual relations with

the Sultan and his authority as Khalif. These were ties that didnot waver through all the upheavals of history. The civic

intercourse of ulama, architects and scholars between theO smanli and th e Mughals could not have been mo re profoun d,deeply affecting both the great Osmanli language and thePunjabi and U rdu of the Subcontinent. Right u p u ntil the timeof Sultan Abdu lhamid II Khan , may Allah be pleased with th is

great Khalif, battleships were sent to the Indonesianarchipelago t o escort th e h ajjis safely throu gh pirate waters.

During all this time, Islam was a triumphant, expanding andsuccessful domain and the centre of its governance wasIstanbu l as before that it had been Baghd ad an d b efore thatMad inah . Th e Islamic world of the M alay peop les, the Islamicworld o f the M ughal Subcontin ent, and Anatolia, the centralpower base of Osmanli governance, manned by Turks,Albanians, Arabs, Kurd s all these were centr es of

tremendous wealth and all these lands were obsessivelydesired by the kafir hordes of Europe. One thing alone heldback the astonishing greed of the European kuffar, and thatwas the majestic power and effectiveness of the Islamic armiesof Jihad which were the terror of th e earth. The O smanli armywas never defeated in any major confrontation during all itshistory, although in its final stages it received serious

peripheral defeats in Russia and the Balkans.

The Osmanli world Islamic community was not defeatedmilitarily, it was defeated by the subversive influence of thekuffar in persuading them that the means to technicalmodernity was dependent on a financial procedure which initself had n othin g to do with techno logy but app eared to be themagical process which, if indulged in, led to the appearance ofth e techn ological event . All the inroad s into t he O sman li powerbase consisted of the friendly persuasion of the kafir society

calling on the aban don men t of th e Islamic Deen piece by piece.It is not an accident that the day of the disbanding of theYeniceri, which had been the multi-national war-sustainingforce of Jihad throughout the centuries, was to find itsanniversary celebrated across Turkey annually by a rash of

I

advertisements in Turkish magazines declaring that this eventled to the presence of kafir banking inside Turkey. It could besaid that at the point of history which saw the presence of the

great spiritual and political genius of Sultan Abdulhamid IIKhan, the first forces of treachery and betrayal by Muslimsbegan to appear. Those forces which eventually triumphedbased their success on the abolition of Khalifate, the denial ofMadhhabs, and as we shall see, an active war of hatred againstthe Rasul, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, andrestore him to the highest place which he claimed as being the

first of th e sons of Adam , Allah b less him.

I am not going to go into the arrogant and superficial claimsmade by these self-styled modernists. All the claims they makeon the fiqh reveal themselves to be noth ing more th an slanderson the great Muslims of the past. Their resentment at love ofRasul, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is something

that m erits only the d eepest con tempt. Th e next most shockingelement of all has been th e aston ishin gly an ti-intellectual attackon the Sufis and the teaching of Tasawwuf. What we must lookat is the en d result of th eir disastrou s and appalling and savageattack on th e Muslim p eoples. It must be un derstood that th eydid not attack the kafirun, they attacked the Muslims. They didnot attack the kafir leaders, they courted them, sought theirapproval and accepted their rewards. They openly and

shamelessly entered masonic lodges. They counted as friendsth e English and French governo rs of th e Midd le-East. Th e mo st

loathsome and scand alous of them were on a barge in th e Nilein the company of the great kafir Winston Churchill, at adinner in which he exclaimed, Your religion forbids pork andwine, my religion permits it, so I will have my pork and wine,and you can go without, b on appetit! H aving hu miliated th em

he spread the map onto the table, stained with his sloppingbrandy, and said, You will be the king of Iraq, he will be theking of Jord an and you will be the kin g of Arabia, to wh ich th e

newly kafir-anointed king declared, Saudi Arabia! WhatIslamic fiqh can come from such a meeting? Under his sons anabsolute financial and technological kafir presence wasestablished in the land of Arabia. From the first day, IbnTaymiyya, master of their Madhhab, was raised to the highestshelf of honour, but safely out of reach. The law of theDhimmis was abolished. Under their disastrous control the

whole realm of Palestine, itself previously a waqf declared bySultan Abdulhamid II Khan, caved in before the jewishinvasion, and their only response was to ignore their militaryobligation by transformin g Al-Aqsa into a sacred shrin e of Islamand thus a spiritual matter. How easy to ignore Ibn Taymiyyasinsistence on the Hadith of Rasul, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, which h ad declared th at n o m osque was over

any other m osque except th e H aramayn. Since the rebel Saudscould not acknowledge the legality of the Islamic Osmanlipolity, they were unable to refute the absurdity of the jewishclaim to Jerusalem which had no foundation in anythingun derstood as international law.

One of the conglomerates involved in the oil extraction andexpropriation, ARAMCO, issued a glamorous brochure to

explain Islam to its client s (jewish ban kers and christian trad ers?)with the requisite and expected colour photos of Islamic

artefacts. There were maps and outlines of history. In thisdocum ent it claimed that Islam h ad been an Arab pheno men onand that there had never been either an Osmanli or a Mughalgovern ance. W hat was being designed was an Islam that was theprivate property of the Najdi tribe to the exclusion of the great

I

11


12/144

world community of Muslims who had sustained its presenceand triumph over centuries. All this had been wiped out.

The map did not show Turkey, nor the Subcontinent, norindeed the Maghrib. The heart of the doctrine was an overtArabism which denied the hundreds of millions of TurkicMu slims, Indian Mu slims, Malay Mu slims and Berber Mu slims.The truth of the matter is that the new revised religion theyhave created and persist in calling Islam was and remainssometh ing utterly un acceptable to th e great mass of the worlds

Mu slims and th eir ulam a. We will later look at th ese tru n cated,twisted and perverted doctrines which they have set up in then ame o f Islam, a religion which find s itself utt erly cont ent withkafir military do m inan ce, kafir po litical practice, kafir finan cialsystems, and kafir foundational usage of usury, somethingwhich is endemic to all the banking system including Islamicban king. C laim ing th ey wish th e Islamic Shariah, th ey h ave, as

we have noted, abolished the law of the Dhimmis. They haveabolished th e Islamic h ou sehold p erm itting four legal wives, inopen denial of the Book of Allah. They have abolished Awqaf,the welfare system of Islam. They are harsh with the Muslimsan d gentle with th e kafirun , exactly th e opp osite of what D ivineG uidance has ordained.

Returning to our metaphor of the sick man and his doctor,

perh aps th e sick man will recall on e of th e first episodes whichmanifested the terrible disease. Muhammad Abduh had been

raised to high office by Lord Cromer, governor of Egypt andscion of the Baring bankers family which traced itself backthrough christian conversions to the ghettos of Lithuania.Already rejected by the greatest alim of the time, ShaykhIlliysh, who had struck his head and drawn blood because of


12


13/144

his insults to th e Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant h impeace thus rejected by the greatest faqih of Islamic Shariat hefound acceptance in the masonic lodges of Cairo and in the

company of the cynical deceiver, the Iranian Shia adventurerJamalud din Al-Afghan i. Raised b y his kafir bo ss to t he Mu ftiat,he declared permissible the practice of the Post Office in therole of banking. Here was the first symptom. The rash spread.Soon afterwards the Rothschilds were to establish their zionistbase in Palestin e in th e office of a bank.

Oh Arabs! Look closely at the historical reality if you want tosee the acting-out of a false aqida. Who was the enemy of theKhalif of all the Muslims? It was the kuffar. Who raised theirhan ds against Sultan Abdu lhamid II Khan? The Young Turks,spawn ed in the secular clubs an d mason ic lodges of Salonika,among them Mustafa Kemal, of dubious parentage, almostcertainly a Dnme, the heretical jewish cult dedicated to the

overthrow of the Khalifate. The kafir bankers. The kafirpoliticians. The sons of Saud. Saud had been led captive toIstanbul and charged with treason against Sultan Mahm ud II.The Muslim army led by the Egyptians in 1813 had defeatedthe wild, primitive horde of wahhabites who had desecratedMakkah and M adinah. O n th e orders of the Sultan he was no tto be tried for treason, bu t to b e tried by the ulama t o test hisIslam. H e was declared an extreme zind iq and so ordered to be

executed without the right of two rakats before death whichwould be the due of a simple traitor. Thus Sauds head was

placed o n the walls of Istanb ul. If this was the u nan imou s viewof all the H an afi ulam a, accepted by the legal Khalif of all theMu slims, either th e un iversal judgment was true or everybod ywas kafir except the bedouin ruler! Here was the view ofhistory that was to be ad opted by a regime which was to end up

I

13


14/144

in a global act of destroying Islam in the name of this newKhawarij heresy.

It is no lon ger possible for this new aqida which represents th eantithesis of Islam to continue its intimidation of us. Theconstant attacks on Tasawwuf and on the Sufis are clearly adeception when it can be seen th at over th e last centu ry the so-called purifiers of the religion have utterly placed their wealthand their energies in th e han ds of the kuffar and b ecom e theirservile followers. W h at we can n ow see of their tru e nat ure h as

been revealed to all the M uslims directly by the po wer of Allah.By that I m ean th at the u nfolding of the destined events in th ehistory of the last h un dred years has shown the tru e natu re ofthe wahhabite purifiers and what they intended for theMuslim masses. Up until now they have accused the Sufis ofbida, and this word bida has been an instrument of attackagainst not only the devout lovers of Allah and his Rasul, may

Allah b less him and grant h im p eace, but against th e Awliya ofAllah, may Allah be pleased with all of them. The destructionof the zawiyyas and tekkes of the Sufis was the sharedprogramm e of the evil an d d estructive kafir dictator o f Turkey,Mu stafa Kemal, and th e h ypocritical betrayer of h is Khalif andthe usurper of his power, the loathsome and shamefulAbdalaziz Ibn Saud. There is no need for a defence ofTasawwuf, and the accusation that the strong Muslims who

follow their Shaykhs in the great universal brotherhoods of themighty Naqshbandi and Qadiri paths are in bida is beneath

contempt. Before the closing of the zawiyyas by the wahhabitean ti-Islamic forces, and Mu stafa Kemals secular forces, which atleast o pen ly declared th emselves kafir, the Mu slims were stron gand their great Middle Kingdom was dynamic, expanding andtriumphant. When the anti-Islamic forces were finished their


14


15/144

satanic work, th e Mu slims were broken into path etic mini-statesruled by dictators, some servile, some psychotic. All the wealthand resources of the Muslim lands which once were distributed

to its people through the Islamic Awqaf system were simplychannelled out to the kafir lands, assuring their absolutehegemony over the lands of Islam.

Once a messenger came to Umar Ibn Al-Khattab with newsof a Muslim victory and Umar asked him, At what time didyou engage the enemy? He replied, In the early morning.

Then he was asked, At what time were they defeated? Hereplied, Shortly after n oon . U mar exclaimed , W e belon g toAllah and to him we shall return! Did kufr stand up to Imanfrom early morning until midday? You have made a bidabehind my back!

Th is is their great bida an d they dare n ot call it a bida h assana.

This is their shame. For half a century they have let thePalestinians fight under the secular slogans of just rights andself-determination. With their millions they backed thedisgraceful kafir Arafat wh o, when he was n ot att end ing jewishfunerals or th e christian m ass, was to be found turn ing the gunson his own followers. Never once was the Banner of Islamraised high, the necessary condition of true Jihad. The Rasul,blessings and peace be upon him, had declared the land ofHebron a waqf in the ownership of an Arab family still alive tothis day. Such an order b y the last of the Proph ets abrogates any

biblical claim the jewish tribes have to the area. But the anti-ulama of the wahhabites had abolished abrogation on theinstruction of their kafir rulers. If they had abolished it in theQuran how could the Sunna survive? And why have theyabolished it? It is time to face up to these matters. Why has the

I

15


16/144

teaching of the Nasikh-wal-Mansukh been removed by thesepeople? Because the new religion they are founding, I refer toth e collaborative activity of th e Arab head s of state and regimes,

is based on the claim that the jews, christians and Muslims arepeop le of the Bo ok, th at all the religions d erive from Ibrah imin oth er words superiority devolves from th e jews and th atthere is no compulsion in the Deen. In the Ahkam of QadiAbu Bakr ibn Arabi, th e judgmen t is decisive:

La ikraha fid-Deen is abrogated by the ayat of

fighting. This is the position of Ibn Zayd. Thesecond position is that it is particular to thePeople of the Book who are excepted when theypay Jizya. According to this it applies to everycategory from whom Jizya is accepted.

In th e wahh abite programm e of the kuffar the destined end of

Islam is as follows: a personalised religion, a pseudo-Islam witha pseudo-Tasawwuf offering not Marifat-ullah but tranquillisedniceness, a triadic relationship with an equally reformed

judaism , iron ically str ip ped of its lan d claim s an d in war d-looking, only concerned with the building of the Temple ofJerusalem and the world distribution of kosher meat from itssanctuary, and a bankrupted papal christianity given toharmless mass rallies in football stadiums. In order to preventthe rise and restoration of true Islam a radical, fundamentalistmovement, itself completely orchestrated from Madinah

University, is already up and working, siphoning off the youngMuslim repelled by everything he sees in the Arab lands,monitoring him in acts of terrorism and the killing ofinnocents which can only shock and repel the discontentedm asses who m igh t oth erwise turn to Islam as a m eans of rescue.

Are you aware of what h as been do n e with th e Q uran itself? D oyou realise that never once has the wahhabite regime producedone edition of the Quran printed and bound to a high

standard for mass usage? While the kafir jews and christianshonour their altered, fragmented and invented texts in seriesafter series of excellent editions, not once has the Khalif-rejecting ho use of Saud seen fit to hon our the Q uran, even inthe one version whose recital they are prepared to permit.

The Seven Recitations have been banned and only one

recitation tolerated. At different times the wahhabite regime ofArabia has con fiscated whole shiploads of th e W arsh Q uran. Ashipload of W arsh Q urans, the personal gift of King Hassan IIof Morocco, was unceremoniously dumped into the Red Seaand never reached its destination at the Haramayn. Theimpeccable Warsh edition produced by the Algerian state in anunexpected moment of nobility was forbidden distribution in

Makkah and Madinah. The universally accepted Shattibiyyawhich delineates the Seven R ecitation s had been rejected by th eanti-ulama from the dark palace corridors of Riyadh, and thewholesale confiscation of the Readings used by Tunisia,Morocco and so on continued. Finally, under pressure fromKing H assan of Morocco and some influential Ind ian ulama, atypically hypocritical compromise was found: they would insiston the uniform Hafs edition of the Quran throughout Arabia

but would institute a Royal Quran recitation competitionwhere the Seven Recitations could be employed, a kind of

Quranic Olympics.

Another Arab ruler ordered the omission of the DivineCommand Qul from Quranic recitation, a final modernistattempt to remove the presence of the Messenger, may Allah

I

17


18/144

bless him and grant him peace, throughout the whole Quran.This was not successful because the people still had theresonance of a great Sufic tradition and knew that such an act

was abhorrent. We have spoken already of the importance ofthe Nasikh-wal-Mansukh. From various quarters, in harmonywith the directives of world organisations like Unesco, the so-called inter-faith dialogue movements are spreading and moredeeply affecting the diseased Arab polity. You cannotunderestimate the implications of the deliberate attempts todismantle that intellectual defence system which the great

Muslim ulama through the centuries have perfected inaccordance with Allahs own naming of the Quran as aProtected Book. Look carefully at what I am about to tell you.Th is is more serious an d m ore tragic th an any cataclysmic eventcaused by the hand of man in this dark age.

After completing the Visit in Madinah I fulfilled my intention

to visit a most distinguished Mauritanian alim who at thattime, as far as I knew, was a professor at the University ofMadinah. It should be noted that Madinah University is notinside Madinah but is outside its precincts, for the Rasul hasdeclared, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, thatShaytan cannot enter the city of Madinah. Rather it is built ina valley overlooking the Jabal-al-Jinn where the Churchill-appointed king of Arabia appropriately has built his palace. I

arrived at t he alims h ou se only to b e told b y a servan t th at h ewas not receiving anybody. I insisted I had come a long way on

an important matter. The message came back that he was in adistressed state and asked to be excused. I insisted that thematter was of great importance and if at all possible I beggedhim to see me. The servant showed me into his library, fourwalls floor t o ceilin g, lined with b ooks. Tea was served. After a


18


19/144

time t he alim cam e in an d was clearly in a t rou bled state. I triedto bring the matter to the subject that concerned me but hecould n o longer contain h is anguish. At last h e blurted ou t h is

shocking story.

H e had been brought from th e deserts of Mauritania where hetaught in a h um ble madrasa to students who came from far andnear because of his high learning. The wahhabite agent whoturn ed up in his madrasa informed him th at he was required toserve Islam by coming to Madinah to teach in that prestigious

University. He insisted that he had absolutely no academicqu alification s that wou ld be acceptable in a u n iversity while hewas completely versed in the fiqh by his own traditionalm adrasa trainin g. H e was told that th at was why he was n eeded.In order to make Muslims with doctorates in Islamic Studies itwas necessary that their papers were studied and accredited bya qualified expert. They would appoint him a Doctor of Law in

order to permit h im to activate produ ction , as it were, in th eirfactory of ulama.

Already unsure of this transaction, and not fully grasping itsimplication at that time, he set out for Madinah where he wasensconced in his pleasant villa. After a time, which had beenspent sitting with his students instructing them and correctingthem, he was visited by officials of the University. They

explained the nature of the PhD system, that is the secularrationalist methodology by which the kafir intellectual

leadership is formed. They explained the student would takeup a thesis, quoting prior experts in the field, following theirconcepts and in some cases making critical analysis of theirconclusion s, subm itting the subject of their studies to th eir ownopinion and critical analysis to arrive at a new and modern

I

19


20/144

viewpoint of the object under examination. The alim could nolonger hide from the terrible implication s of the trap into wh ichhe had been led. He looked across the room at me, his face a

mask of rage, with tears in his eyes. Do you realise what theywere asking m e to do? They were askin g me to licence studen tsas Islamic teachers, on the basis of their appro aching the Q uranas an object which could be analysed, dissected, confirmed andrejected in its details. In the process they would be giving equalweight to the view of classical Muslim scholars as well as the

jewish , the ch ristian an d th e orien talist writers. They were ask in g

me to participate in the process of making Dhalikal-Kitab intojust an oth er of th ose man -mad e b oo ks. H e realised im med iat elythat there was no personal dimension to his teaching that couldget round or subvert the methodology and system of criticaldeconstruction which was the foundation of kafir belief. Herealised he had walked into the valley of the jackals.

Do you know that there is now a faculty called AdvancedIslamic Studies? Now what do you think that might be? WouldSayyidina Umar Ibn Al-Khattab think it meant a body of mensetting out on Jihad fisabilillah? For what could be AdvancedIslamic Studies to the Sahaba if it was not fearlessly advancingon the en emy to witness the Angelic supp ort from the U nseenand strive fearlessly to ach ieve th e m aqam of Shah id?

The wahhabite anti-ulama, in the first heady days of theirm assive finan cial and techn ological collaboration with th e kafir

forces of the o il Titans, began a p rogramm e of mosqu e-bu ildingacross the world. They launched a propaganda project calledthe Mosque Message. It was openly clear that Islam was to bereduced to a puritanical piety of scrupulous prayer and fastingpractice, bu t it was in n o way, in absolutely n o way to im pin ge

on the social nexus through the trying business of having tofulfil the Sunna and the Amal of the Rasul, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, and the Ahl-al-Madinah. Once they

had removed the practice of Islamic ulama in their respectfulapproach to Quran, even the mosque itself posed no threat.The Nasikh-wal-Mansukh gone! The distinction between theMuttashabihat and the Muhakamat ayats also gone. Then theShah adatayn itself was shattered .

Once the Madhhabs had been abolished, the fiqh was

abolished. W hat need for distinguishin g the Mu hakamat ayatswhen there was no Islamic Hukm? Do you not see what theywere doing? N ow you can n ot fail to see. Abolish th e Madh hab s.Thus, abolish the fiqh. Thus, destroy Sunna, wal Amal walIjma. The Divine Hukm set alongside the metaphoric ayats.W hat d id it add up to ? Th e end of Islam, the establishmen t ofkafir rule. And what did all that add up to? The assurance to

the kafir world system that there would never again be anIslamic Khilafa with Amr ordering th e H ukm to be applied toth e legal case, to be jud ged b y th e Q adis, and to be executed bythe Amirs forces. And all this in a land which had categoricallydenied the existence of the practice of Rasul, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, in collecting the Jizya and in thusguaranteeing the safety and submission of the Dhimmis. InArabia today the taxed and submitted people are the Muslims,

and the American occupying forces are above the so-called lawof the land and may not be bro ught to trial before a judge in th e

country for any crime. In short, once our foot was on theirnecks, and no w their foot is on o ur n ecks.

In Muslim lands vast amounts of money have been spentcovering up t he u tterly shameful record of th e treacherous Saud

family and its servile collaboration with the European andAmerican kafir rulers. From its sordid beginnings in themodern age with Abdalaziz ibn Saud the historical record of

their perfidy is available to those who take the trouble toresearch it, yet it is hidden behind a veil of cheap propaganda,in p articular exalting the m yth of King Faisal as an Islamic h ero,a hero who could not enter the Haram of the Kaaba until abrigade of armed guards had preceded him. I recall standing atthe Bab Ar-Rahman and watching men with automaticweapons stream over the Haram. Recalling the Divine Ayats

forbidding weaponry during the sacred months I asked whattheir purpose was. I was informed that it was to guard KingFaisal. Against th e Muslims? I enq uired , add in g, You will see,on e day he will be killed, bu t n ot by the M uslim peop le. H e willbe killed by on e of his own family, standin g right n ext to h im!A few years later I was to see that spiritual insight confirmed.Mu slims are not enem ies to each other, but the kuffar and the

mu nafiqun are enemies to th emselves.

The devious and hypocritical character of Ibn Saud was noton ly du e to th e low and d ism al character genetically encod ed intheir destiny, but also to the powerful motive of greed whichbubbled up in them with the same intensity as the black goldgushed ou t of the desert sand s. Do cumen tation shows that IbnSaud was sim ultan eously sendin g dut iful an d loyal messages tothe Khalif in Istanbul to whom he had made an oath ofallegiance, let it not be forgotten while at the same time

following the dictates and counsel of high-ranking Britishagents and spies like Sir Percy Cox and Gertrude Bell. Whenth e British offered to prop him up as Khalif he cyn ically said toSir Percy Cox, No-one cares in the least who calls himselfKhalif. He insisted that the wahhabites did not recognise any


22


23/144

Khalif after the first four. This means that the wahhabitesconsider the M uslims without legitimate ru lership and witho utIslam for over a thousand years. What this indicates is the

rejection o f historic Islam, th e Muslim U mm ah, the con tent o fthe Quran and the great body of Hadith which encodes theSunna of Rasul, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.Since he could even have been Khalif under British tutelage itshowed that he was already ideologically committed to thedisappearan ce of Islam as a world religion .

All matters concerning correct aqida revolve around andreturn to the confirmation of effective and governing Amr.Amr authorises the collection of Zakat, and to permit this theminting of the Islamic Dinar and Dirham with its weightsassured by the ruler. Al-Qurtubi in his monumental Tafsirdefines th is as one o f th e essent ial obligation s of th e Khalif. Justas the rebel Saud family betrayed their Khalif, so too over the

last century they can be seen to involve themselves more andm ore with all th ose forces working for a r evision of Islam into an ew anti-Islam which wou ld p rove totally acceptable to th e kafirsystem. In the second half of the last century it always seemedstrange to me that the so-called conservative Islamic monarchyshould finance and support Maududis pseudo-reformism inIndia as well as the Ikhwan in Egypt. Later the puzzle becamegreater as they brought th e false sufi kafir Titu s Burckhard t an d

the other European Gunonians who followed their masonicleader Frithjof Schuon into significant academic recognition in

collaboration with anti-Islamic UNESCO. The extremities met,and th e kafirisation of Islam was reach ing its final formu lation.O n ce you have removed Tasawwuf which is Ihsan, an d o n ce youhave removed love and recognition of the Rasul, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, then you have shattered

Tawhid, which is Iman, and once you have negated theMad hh abs an d th us rejected the total Islamic procedure of legalpractice then, the Amr abolished, the whole body politic of

Islam becomes medically dead. There is nothing left.

Oh Arabs! I cannot but believe that you experience, looking atth ese mat ters, th e shock of recognition . This is th e beginn ing ofyour cure. Perhaps the m ost offensive elemen t of th is m ust n owbe con fronted . I refer to the wah habite h atred o f Allah forgiveme for having to write these words, and you for having to read

them and denigration of, our most beloved master and guide,Rasul, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. With thevictory of wahhab ism th is rage of hatred cooled int o solid stonewhich became the foundations of the modernist anti-Islam, sothat you can trace a line from the ferocious passions of thewahhabite tribes to the insidious and trivial re-assessments ofthe Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, like

that o f the N asserite modern ist, Muh amm ad H eykal, who sawin the Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,only the prototype of a modern statesman. Rumi explains thenature of the kufr of Abu Lahab as follows: when the Sahabalooked o n him th ey saw th e Messenger of Allah, m ay Allah b lesshim and grant h im peace, but when Abu Lahab looked he sawonly the son of Ibn Abd al-Muttalib.

A residen t of Madin ah to ld me th at his fath er was witness to anincident so appalling that it h ad h aunted him for the rest of his

life. In th eir old m ud palace Abdalaziz Ibn Saud was impatien tlyand uncomfortably trying to bring to an end the visit of adelegation o f ulama from th e Subcont inen t of India. Before hecould bring the meeting to an end one of the ulamaconfronted Saud an d asked openly, I still do no t un derstand .


24


25/144

What is the cause of your hatred of the Rasul, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace? Fixing his gimlet eyes on the alimhe rep lied, H e started it! Stun n ed, th e ulam a took t heir leave.

H e was of course referring to the ren owned H adith wh ich recentArabian editions have removed from the Sahih. The Hadithrecounts that during a visit in the Year of the Delegations theRasul, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, mad e du as onthe different lands whose representatives were present. AndN ajd! said the visitor from Najd. M ay Allah bless him and grant

him peace remained silent. He repeated his statement, whichwas again greeted with silence. The third time the Messenger,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, declared that fromthere would come Shaytan! As the ulama returned to theirresidence the almost un thinkable truth dawned upon them. Th eprimitive tribes of Najd saw themselves locked in an ancienttribal rejection which set them forever against the Q uraish. H ere

in fact lies the root of the implacable enmity to the Hijazifamilies which resulted in the mass slaughter of the Utayba afterthe uprising that tried to seize the Haram of Makkah, theU tayba bein g the pu rest of the Q uraishi Arabs. In every aspectof the record of this dreadful family their primary passionateevils can be seen planing out into a rigid and total post-Islamicset of doctrines in th e service of the kafir system an d au tho ringa terrorism to ensure the marginalisation and rejection of

resistance by young intellectual Muslims.

Th e event of the u prising against the h ouse of Saud in M akkahrevealed every aspect of the perfidious nature of their rule.When warned of the possibility of an uprising in public majlis,th e kafir-app oin ted k in g swept th e m atter away cyn ically, saying,W hat will they fight us with their siwaks?

did in fact take place the abject cowardice of the Saud militaryquickly became apparent. In a panic of hysteria the nowterrified m on arch called in the French elite comm ando un it to

the immense delight and amusement of the kafir President ofFrance. Swiftly and efficiently they carried out the necessaryslaughter with their expected tactical brilliance and unbridleduse of automatic firepower. Not content with the depths towhich he h ad sunk, th e wahh abite ruler th en d eclared h imselfthe G uardian of the H aramayn. Th is, at the very point when heh ad so disastrou sly failed t o b e just th at. Mo re significant ly, th at

had been a Khalifal title, so he thus formally declared theabolition of Islam in h is kafir-pro tected Kingdom by separatingthe religion from the state. As often happens in history anapparent d efeat is in fact a tu rnin g point in the fortun es of thevictor, since this brought out into the open what had long beenthe kafir-dictated doctrine of the wahhabite sect.

It was because they had apparently got away with both thedesecration o f the H ou se of Allah and its H aram th at they were tofind the confidence to plunge their regime into a greater disaster.

In neighbou ring Iraq an other form of the kafir virus had beenfestering and spreading from its brutal leadership throughoutthe whole people. Two dangerous symptoms of kufr, as theybecame more marked, presaged a crisis to the illness. On the

one hand the Baath Socialist Party which united the militaryelite had grown arrogant and ambitious for more wealth, th at is

more oil, and more territory. With the stupidity that is acharacteristic of thuggishness they indulged in an orgy ofpurchasing an arsenal of military technology. They were themost honoured guests at the arms fairs of Britain and America.When later arms inspectors from the U.N.O. opened up the


26


27/144

suspected sites which held weapons of mass destruction theywere shocked to find that the weapons were there, but that theybore U.S. markings. Allied to the belligerence of this kafir

dictatorship was the inevitable corruption and degradation ofthe civic population, who from the day that this regime hadtaken over from the miserable puppet monarchy appointed bythe British had lived in a world where Islamic courtesy andadab slowly an d in exorably disappeared. T he m ass of the p eoplebecame grossly materialistic, vulgar and amoral. It must beunderstood that all this was only possible because the ethos of

Islamic teaching lay in the hands of those same reformers, theso-called mo dern ists wh o were the bo n ded allies of wahhab ism .Here was a historic demonstration of the intimacy and evenidentity between the modernist post-Abduh and Ikhwanreligion , an d t hat of th e an ti-Islamic an d an ti-Khalifal, becauseant i-Rasul, doctrin es of the wah hab ite sect.

While we from the outside all reacted in a normal Islamicmanner feeling outraged at Muslims attacking Muslims, thereality was that two rebel Khawarij peoples had tur ned on eachother in a battle over material wealth. The stupid brutality ofthe cunning dictator met in headlong conflict with thedecadent and cowardly pup pet of the oil Titans. It mu st not beforgotten that only some months before, the two protagonistshad been locked together, united in purpose, to destroy the

Iranian regime. A high official of the Iraqi Ministry of IslamicAffairs (to them, births, marriages and deaths) told me in Abu

Dhabi, This is not a battle between Sunni and Shia, but anancient battle between Arabs and Iranians. So it is that if youremove the Islamic ethos of brotherhood which divides peoplen either by race no r by class bu t un iquely by Islam an d ku fr, thematter at issue descends to the materialist conflicts that are the

I

27


28/144

political destiny of the kuffar. Arab peoples can no longercategorise themselves as Muslim simply by the act of a geneticinh eritance that places them with a Muslim n ame in a land th at

was once ruled under Khalifal authority under Muslim law. Inth e same way th e Sufic Tariqas cann ot claim sh aykhd om by th esimple factor of the son in h eriting a title from a fath er who wasan Arif billah, altho ugh in th is matter th e exception m ay proveth e rule. The tim e has come to face up to th e fact that as we areso we have people set over us. False leadership cannot beblamed, and the usurping of false leaders in the land of the

Arabs has in every case resulted in a m ore d ism al regime.

So it was, th at when t h e Iraqi dictator was tricked into att ackin gKuwait in a simple game plan which he was too stupid todecode, the trap was sprun g and a brilliant and terrible dou blevictory was achieved by the O il Titans of th e kuffar. O n e, Iraqioil was taken out of the market and placed under sanction.

Two, a massive occupying force then took over the ArabianPeninsula. This final, and for this regime insoluble dilemmacould no t h ave happen ed simp ly throu gh the foolish judgmentof a decadent ruler. If Shaykh Bin Baz, the doyen of thewahh abite leadership h ad n ot given his official Fatwa their evildoctrines might still have remained hidd en and survived. Th epathetic judgment of Bin Baz, which gains him a name inh istory und er the flag of Abu Lahab , revealed th at th e leader of

this sect, who for decades had dron ed on about th e importan ceof Kitab wa Sunna while they opposed the noble millions of

Muslims who followed the fiqh of the Great Imams, was eithertotally ignorant of the Sunna of our beloved Messenger, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, or hypocritically turnedhis head away from it. It is recorded in a perfectly well knownHadith in the Sahih that despite the pleadings of his Sahaba,


28


29/144

Rasul, may Allah b less him an d grant h im peace, turn ed away arenowned fighter from fighting under the flag of Islam becausehe was not a M uslim. O n ly after his Shah ada was he allowed to

participate in th e Jihad. Th is inescapable Sun na wedded to th estrict ord er of Rasul, m ay Allah b less him an d grant h im p eace,that there should be no two Deens in the land of the Arabs,marked the end of the historical right of the wahhabite sect tolay any claim to an Islamic aqida.

How abysmal the collapse of the wahhabite regime. Within a

few years of the war th ey saw in aston ishm ent th at th eir massivewealth had almost m iraculously becom e m assive debt . Th ey sawtheir country swarming with literally thousands of Americanintelligence officers, an occupying force that they were notpermitted to bring before their own courts in cases of criminalactivity. They had not heeded the Quran. They had mockedthe Sunna. They had not even educated themselves in the

culture of their masters, for the great medieval moralist LaFontaine could have told th em what happ ened when a rich andweak princeling invited a mighty ruler to flush out a localenemy. In one of his fables he tells the tale of how a smalllandowner calls in a mighty Lord of the Manor to flush out ahare that is troubling his fields. The Lord arrives with hisservants and friends and dogs, feasts on their land, takes thewomen, and th en in h un ting the hare rides roughshod over his

fields, destroyin g his crops an d leaving a wasteland beh ind . Th epoet en ds with his famou s moral:

(Little Princes, give up fighting among yourselves: you will begreat fools to have recourse to kings. Never let them take partin your wars, nor let them enter your land.)

Th e wahh abite-Saud alliance which had begun in infamy en dedin total disgrace. In the early days Ibn Saud courted thewahhabites for his own ends, honoured them. The Ikhwan asthey were called, a title to be taken up later by the naiveEgyptian reformer Hassan Al-Banna, were allowed todistinguish themselves by wearing a twisted strip of white

m aterial arou n d th eir head-covering instead of th e twisted b lackwool iqal worn by other Arabs. In 1929 two important Ikhwanleaders, Faisal ad-Dawwish and Sultan Ibn Bijad, rose inrebellion against th e forces of Ibn Saud . Th ey were defeated an dFaisal ad-Dawwish was taken prisoner and brought before IbnSaud, apparently mortally wounded. Pardoned, he thenrecovered his strength and fought all over again. In the end he

fled for refuge to Iraq. Sultan Ibn Bijad was captured andthrown into prison at Riyadh to die a lingering death. TheIkhwan main colony of Ghut-Ghut was razed to the ground.After these battles the Ikhwan were disbanded and their twosettlemen ts Gh ut-G hu t an d Artawiyya ceased to exist. From th every beginning therefore, it was clear that the wahhabitedeviation from Islam could not survive and could only be aseedin g-groun d for dissension an d con flict am on g th e Muslims.

Properly speaking they had no doctrines. In place of Tawhidwhich is a vibrant, profound and rich teaching containing man y

aspects, they had placed a cheap rationalist monotheism, madeinexorable an d u gly by its den ial of th e n ature o f the R evelationand thus a failure to understand the distinction alwaysmade by Muslim ulama between the Muhakamat and theMu ttashabihat ayats. A primitive phen omen on comm anded b y

primitive men, they found themselves taken up by thesophisticated, highly cultured and scheming kafir elite of theBritish Empire. Their servile and sentimental attachment to

Britain remains to this day. The so-called King of SaudiArabia, as th ey insist on calling it, has been ph otograph ed withthe Q ueen of England while wearing round his neck the largeenamelled cross of an English chivalric Order.

O ur Shaykh an d teacher, Shaykh M uh amm ad Ibn Al-H abib inhis great Diwan lists in his song of the Doctrines of

Unification sixty six attributes which make up the differingelements of a pure Tawhid.

THE DOCTRINES OF UNIFICATION

The slave of his Lord, Muhammad ibn al-Habib,

says, declaring th e absolute on eness of his Lord:

We begin all things with the Bismillah to Him belong their beginning as well as their returning.

Th e mean ing of god is That which h as no n eed ofoth er-than -H im, while anything other has need of H im.

This That which has no need of other-than-Himpossesses thirteen Attributes, do not forget it!

Acts devoid of desire, and sim ilarlyin judgments, lack of self-interest.

Total freedom of action and of non-actionpersevere with what we have told you and realise it!

Then the poverty of all that is other-than-Him

These are twenty-five attributes.Th eir oppo sites are the same in n um ber count th em!

Iman in the Messenger alsohas sixteen attributes which are:

G rant success to th e leaders who h elpeverything in which there is right action.

And grant us a seal, O Lord, of serenityand be kind to u s when the H our arrives.

It is clear from this that it is not possible to have a correctTawhid which does not significantly feature faith in theMessenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. As theShaykh of our Shaykhs, Moulay AbdasSalam Ibn al-Mashish

said, W ere it not for th e mean s the end would h ave escaped us.

It is therefore n either an aberration from some primal doctrineof Islamic renewal, which is what the wahhabites claimth emselves to be, n or is it a pure d octrine held by the elite yetbetrayed by the masses that we confront in Arabia. It is an anti-Islam, devoid as we have indicated, of all those political

elements which permit of a living and dynamic Islam that had,therefore, inevitably to turn towards the kuffar for supportsince it had already turned its back on the great MuslimUmmah. We are facing an anti-Islam born in the Arabiandesert under the shadow of British guns and the darkershadows of their agents, T. E. Lawrence and Gertrude Bell,then grown to maturity under the still darker forces of the oilTitans and th e un ified kafir order dedicated to the abolition of

all religion. Do not for a moment imagine that the policies,pseudo-doctrines and practices that have stemmed from Arabia

and been disseminated all over the world have done so simplyunder a misguided Arabian policy. No, every move that hasbeen made from there has been under the command of thecollaborative American-Israeli system whose elite are the leadersof the banking and commodities corporations. Ibn Taymiyya

said th at if you wish to find wh at had gone wron g in th e Islamicpolity it was necessary to look at Islams beginning, for youwould simply find now, repeated, what had once stood there in

opposition to the Rasul, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace. The regime of Najd, it can therefore truly be said, is aKhawarij phenomenon.

Oh Arabs! I sat with a group of ulama from different Arabcountries. First the Syrian told us of the iniquities of theirdictator and why we had to lend o urselves to the u rgent task of

overthrowing this murderer of his people. The Egyptian alimintervened to tell us that the source of the trouble lay in Egyptand th e disastrous natu re of its kafir leadership an d th e helplessobedience of the state to the p owers of banking and Americanpolicy. The Tunisian intervened to say that little was known ofthe d readful tyrann y of their dictator who had overthrown whathad seemed the worst possible leader by declaring him insane,even although the man had been appointed by the formerpresident, presumably therefore in a state of insanity. TheJord anian alim rush ed to tell us of th e terrible plight of Jord an

under its masonic English puppet king. The Algerian scholarinsisted that the ghastly slaughter of the innocents in his

country was without equal. They vied with each other inclaiming th at th eir nation al situation was th e greater tragedy. In

a sense, each h ad a right to th at claim. Non e of them seemed tograsp th at you cou ld no t liberate on e of th ese coun tries withou tincreasing the misery and suffering of all the others on whom

repression would fall to prevent them following suit. Theformer colon ial masters had long ago packed th eir bags and left.They were French, English, and Italian, but they were notdivided, th ey were kuffar, and kufr is one m illat. Th ey withdrewtheir armies and left behind their Trojan Horse, the kafirban king system. To sho w their gen erosity and distract from th isvital ploy they gifted to the Arabs their much-vaunted

educational system. Now every Arab, if he wanted, couldbecome a Doktur. With their methodology the reformist workof Abduh an d Reda could be completed.

In every case these countries can trace their disastrous modernhistory to their unreasoned and desperate treachery and theirrush to betray the Khalifate, and by that token their own

honour, as all their leadership had solemnly given bayat to theIslamic ruler. These low Hollywood gangster-like presidents ofTunisia, Egypt, Iraq and Syria did not come to power by anyinner talent or capacity. Rather, after a century of betrayals,capitulations and abandonment of Islamic teaching the Arabworld set about obediently and enthusiastically erectingsocialistic kafir models for their new mini-states. They left theirDeen. Some rushed to christianity to be accepted by the new

system and to be well placed in its administration. Theychanged their names. They shaved their beards. They turned

away at the soun d of th e adhan s of Ramad an. Th ey sipped t heircognac in cafs from Tangier to Damascus. The Great Mosqueof Zaitouna in Tunis was turned into a third-rate secularuniversity. Its respected director, Shaykh Shalabi, broken-h earted, resigned h is post at th is destruction of a great historical

centre of Islamic learnin g. In m any North African cou n tries th ebeard was bann ed in th e state adm inistration, u nless, ironically,you claimed you were a marxist imitating Lenin. One by one

the great Islamic colleges which had produced ulama forhundreds of years were stripped of their educational role. Theywere told it was modern isation. It was the m odern isation th athad been called for by the Islamic reformists, and n ow th ey weregetting it. The Islam was stripped of its social and politicalcontent, and certainly that of its financial and welfareobligations. The new modern reformed Islam, glowing with the

pu rity of abolishin g and aban don ing th e Sufic zawiyyas, beganto teach its new peripheral Islam. This was an Islam devoid ofall that Islam had been as we have shown in the case of SaudiArabia, on ly here in th e rest of the Arab world t h e effects weremore disastrous. Given the wholehearted and enthusiasticappro val of int erest, usuriou s institution s, paper m on ey and t hebanking system held by the founders of the modernist

m ovement it was axiom atic that o nce th e political regimes wereestablished in all th eir kafir glory th ey th en set abou t pro tectingan Islam, of course this mean s an an ti-Islam, firmly foun ded o nthe kafir usury system. It was an un mitigated trium ph . W ithinthe shortest time each of these little kafir nations hadappointed a Minister of Awqaf, and his purpose was todismantle the Awqaf properties and hand them over to thevoracious bankers, as was most dramatically demonstrated in

Sadats Egypt, or more arrogantly to name the ministry by thegrandiose title of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs.

Do you not see what this means? Under the Islamic Khalifs upuntil the arrival of that great ally of the reformers, MustafaKemal, every affair was an Islamic affair. Now it had beenreduced to the same status as the religion of the mushrikun,

II

39


40/144

births, marriages and deaths. Islam was a matter for themosques. Trade, commerce, finance, welfare, and warfare hadbeen placed in the hands of the ill-formed kafir machine state.

In all of this the role of the Islamic so-called Reformers is quiteextraordinary. Having actively and passionately worked for thedestruction of the Islamic Khalifate, having maintained a face-to-face relationship with the Young Turks from the masonic circlesof Salonika, they not only witnessed but participated in thehanding-over of the Muslim lands to the expanding kafir

colonists. They expressed their desire for independence byimagining that the differential had been reduced to theirsovereignty for themselves from the colonists. An Islamic polityover and against a kafir on e became a kafir po lity over and againstan Arab n ational kafir on e. Thu s, you can perceive the narrowingsocial expectation of people who had abando ned the D een.

Al-Afghani, who was in fact Iranian, had taught his studentAbduh to drink the heady wine of modern social revolutionwith its inevitable and implied outcome, the collapse of theunified Islamic Khalifate. They were dismantling the Deen,hence their attraction to Renan in Paris who was busilyemployed doing the same thing with what was left ofchristianity. In turn, Redas role plunged the new generation ofMu slims over the ab yss. By th e time you arrive at th e Ikhwan Al-Muslimun, the modernist version of their wahhabitecounterparts, you find them still headily convinced that they

could make a concordance with power, like the wahhabites haddone with the Saud family. To fully grasp the abject failureof th e Ikhwan mo vem ents it is necessary to face the in escapablereality of the social nexus that their futile policies broughtabout.

Let us br iefly sum m arise all th at lay prior to th at series of tragicand bloody incidents which ended up with the defeat of theEgyptian armies and the Camp David surrender to the Israeli

occupation of that former waqf that once flourished underauthority from Istanbul. Napoleons Alexandrine fantasy ofruling Egypt an d th e road to In dia ended with his ignom iniousdeparture on 23rd August 1799. While he slaughtered manyMuslims, more of his own troops died either in battle or fromdisease. The mercy of Allah permitted Gnral de Menou toremain in the country, embrace Islam and take the name of

Abdullah. Following the teaching of Rumi one would say thatthese thousands of men were displaced in boats to invadeEgypt, and thousands were to die in the ensuing conflicts inorder that this one man should meet his destiny, become aMuslim and enter the Jannah, this triumph dazzlingly moreimportant than those defeats. The great Albanian, PashaMehmet Ali, was placed in command of Egypt on 9th July

1805 . Here was ano th er key elem ent in th is contin uin g collapseof Muslim society before the upheavals caused by the utterlynew and un known type of invasion, th at of the jewish bankersin every place setting up a n ational bank an d by their cun nin gmanipulations acquiring all the assets of that country throughthe issuing of series of bonds in a system which the localpopu lace simply did n ot un derstand .

It is not an accident that one of the key moments in thecollapse of the Khalifate was the decision to abolish the

Yeniceri, which had been the army of Jihad. Instead ofcleansing it of its corrupt Bektashi element, European counselsprevailed and it was crushed and disbanded. A Napoleonicwestern style army without spiritual allegiance replaced it. Inthe same way Mehmet Ali eliminated the Mamuluks in Egypt.

It then followed that h e took on the role of a pup pet Bonaparte.He was to put in place precisely all these social reconstructionsthat the bankers needed to take over virtual ownership of the

massive wealth of Egypt. He was surrounded by Europeanadvisers and financiers. Independence was in fact in every caseto be what would now be called in commercial terms aleveraged buyout.

The building of the Suez Canal is the classic example of anapparent technological triumph being in fact a transfer of

power from the political zone to that of financial institutions,financial institutions run and controlled by the great jewishbanking houses of Europe. The first manifestation of this quiteun-Islamic concept of territorial integrity and self-determination, the miserable thesis which has ruined thePalestinian people, was to be seen when the Egyptian Ministerof W ar, Colon el Orabi Pasha ro se up to o verthrow the British.

He was savagely defeated at Tel Al-Kabir. This event gave theEnglish full powers to govern Egypt, placing a new Khedive onthe throne with the title of Sultan, making a definitive breakwith the Osmanli Dawlat. The ferment for this new type ofsecular state did not stop from that moment on. In the 1920sSaad Zaghloul emerged as the hero of the independencem ovement. Already, th e Islamic element was merely a un ifyingrhetoric rather than a political imperative. With Saad Zaghloul

exiled to the Seychelles, the ineffective British administrationhad to yield to the triumph of the Wafd Party in the legislative

election s. King Fou ad was obliged t o b ring Saad Zaghlou l backas Prime Minister from 27th January 1924. In 1934 the youngG amal Abd elnasser was at scho ol writing an essay on Voltaire.At th is time rem emb er, Turkey was in th e grips of the Kemalistdictatorship and great ulama were hanging from trees in the


42


43/144

cities of Konya and Istanbul. Syria and Lebanon were underFrench mandate. Iraq had become independent. Eritrea wasunder Italian control while the Sudan and Egypt remained

under British mandate.

On 22nd April 1936 the terrorist Ben-Gurion met withGeorges Antonius, a Greek orthodox Palestinian nationalist, toplan th e creation o f a jewish region inside a G reater Syria whichwould includ e Palestin e. At the same tim e the famou s Am in Al-Hussaini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, struggled against the odds

to have the issue of zionism measured by Islamic Law. In thesame year Faruq became king of Egypt at the age of 16 andunder Regency. On 26th August 1938 in Jaffa, Ben-Gurionsterrorists exploded a bomb in the Souk killing 24 people, apractice which fifty years later the Arabs would in turn directagainst the Israelis. So it was that on the eve of the SecondWorld War two profound turmoils were shattering the life of

the Middle Eastern Arabs. On the one hand, the ferment ofresistance against the jewish invasion, and on the other handthe growing public passion for national sovereignty, whichinternationalist institutions like the Olympic Games did notfail to confirm, resulted in an increasingly dramatic situation,whose inevitable outcome h ad to be revolution.

Another step in the degradation of Arab self-esteem came when

the European powers decided to use the Egyptian and NorthAfrican littoral as a war ground for their own conflict. By 1940

Italians, Germans and English tanks were moving across thedesert. On 19th December 1940 in Jerusalem, Yossef Weitz, adirector of the Jewish National Fund, declared that in order tocreate the jewish state, N o ot her mean s existed except to displacethe Arabs into the n eighb ourin g coun tries all the Arabs.

By 1943 N asser had aban don ed the fez and ad opted t he m ilitarycap of the Europ ean soldiery. W ith 1945 an d th e ending of theW ar the cond ition of the Arabs became m ore critical and more

vulnerable. The cost of living had risen 195 percent, while in th esame period ann ual salaries had only risen 61 percent. TheFrench, having promised to leave Syria, bombed Damascuskilling over 500 people. On 22nd March 1945 in Cairo, Egypt,Iraq, Arabia, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Yemen drew up theconstitution of the Arab League. At that point it can definitelybe said t hat the Arabs of the M iddle East utterly lost an y concept

of their Islamic identity at a social and political level. The workof the modernist self-styled reformers of Islam had in effectmarginalised any idea of an Islamic polity governed by theShariat. Sin ce their intellectual inspiration from the beginn ing,and that at the behest of their Islamic teachers, had beenmotored by the ideas of socialism, nationalism and self-determination, the result was that they had submitted to the

kafir concept of the state as a machine with its subsequentdoctrine of the enslavement of its own masses, as in both sidesof the false kafir dialectic of totalitarianism and democracy.

Th e N asserite version of King Faruq as a decadent playboy king,while tragically true after his abdication, covered up his verysignificant activity while ruling Egypt. The main opposition toFaruq , apart from th e simp le fact of his being the ru ler, was th athe embodied in himself a basic principle of the OsmanliD awlat which was that any Mu slim with th e right capacity cou ld

hold power by virtue of being Muslim without reference to hisracial background. In the atmosphere of fervent nationalismwhich had been created in Egypt there was bitter resentment atbeing ruled by a young Albanian prince. This grew to a moreserious issue when it became clear not only to the nationalists,


44


45/144

but the British and the jews, that King Faruq had determinedto take upon himself the responsibility of Khalif of all theMuslims. Turkey having been enslaved by Kemalism, Egypt was

th e logical place for th e re-establishm ent of Khalifate. Make n omistake. It was this and not the political errors he subsequentlymade th at assured that h e would be treated to the same fate byNasser and Sadat that had been meted out to the last legalKhalif of Islam. Th e silhou ette of Kin g Faruq board ing his boatto go into exile mirrors exactly the photo of the last Khalifdeparting Istanbul, taking with him the mantle of Khalifate,

fully preserved an d u n tou ched, in full readin ess for its inh eritorto place it on his shoulders.

On 7th April 1947 an even darker day dawned for theunfortunate Arab people as their last understanding of Islamslipped away and their reformist ulama stood helpless beforethe more powerful and indeed more glamorous forces of kufr

took over. In the Caf Rashid of Damascus a young christianorthodox professor of history, newly returned from Paris, hishead bu zzing with a p ottage of Sorel, Bergson, N ietzsche, M arxand Lenin , declared th e official creation of the Baath Party. H isname was Michel Aflaq. He called for the unification of theArab world from the Gulf to the Atlantic into an Arab nationthat was to be based on socialism. He rejected communism onthe one hand and the Islamic movement on the other, placing

Islam in the role of fascism in his dialectic. He likened theIslam he was prepared to tolerate to the allegiance people hold

towards a leading football team. Every year until the Gulf Warthe Pope sent an annual message of congratulations to theleaders of Syria and Iraq for followin g the p ath of Michel Aflaq.In the same year in Palestine on 17th September, Golda Meirmet with King Abdullah of Jordan who was sympathetic to the

creation of a jewish state. In that fateful year the U.N.O.declared Israel to be a state. Five months later the jewsmassacred 2 54 m en, women and children at point-blank range

in th e village of D eir Yasin , in o rder t o terro rise th e Palestinian sinto a massive flight from the new territory of Israel. WhatHitler had done in Lidice, the jewish state, which claimed itsright to sovereignty because of the persecution it had suffered,had copied at Deir Yasin. They had become their own Nazis.

On 14th March 1948 a Baathist revolution was bloodily

crushed in Yemen. O n 16th May 1948 King Faruq sent h is armyagainst th e n ew state. Israel with its now famou s world sup portthrough the banking system was more than a match for the ill-trained army of the King. By September the King sought ton egotiate a p eace with th e Israelis. Th rou gh Febru ary to July of1949 an armistice was signed separately with Egypt, Lebanon,Jordan and Syria. On 8th December 1948 the Egyptian

government dissolved the Muslim Brotherhood. On 12thFebruary 1949 its foun der, H assan Al-Bann a, was assassin ated.On 28th December the Muslim Brotherhood assassinatedNokrashy Pasha, holding him responsible. In May of the sameyear Nasser met with Ibrahim Abdelhadi the Prime Minister,and the Chief of the Secret Police. He was able to convincethese high officials that he had no links with the MuslimBrotherhood, while at the same time he was able to hide his

oth er secret activities. By th e end of th e year h e was pu ttin g outpropaganda from a group calling themselves Dhabat al-Ahrar,

th e Free O fficers.

In 1951 Palestinians assassinated King Abdullah of Jordan.During the next two years the role of the English becameincreasingly savage and increasingly unacceptable. To the


46


47/144

horror of the jews and the Americans, King Faruq hadappointed a G erman general to mo dernise the Egyptian arm y.By 1951 the kafir secret services succeeded in getting him

dismissed. In Ismailia the British had massacred over eightymembers of the Bouluk Nizam, the auxiliary police. Two dayslater Cairo was in flames. As a result of the chaos let loose onCairo thanks to the dreadful policies of the English occupyingforces, on 23rd July 1952 the inevitable happened, a coupdtat by the Free Officers led by General Nagib. Behind himin the shadows, the brains of the operat ion, Gamal

Abdeln asser, waited h is mo m ent to take po wer. Three days laterKing Faruq abdicated and set sail towards that limbo reservedfor kings without kingdoms.

By 1953 N asser was pu ttin g in to p ractice his you th ful stud ies ofthe life of Napoleon. He drew the new leader of the Muslim

Brotherh ood, H assan el-H odeiba, close to h im, all the better tokeep him un der h is eye. It is at th is poin t th at th e disaster of th eMu slim Broth erho od, which in th eir lon g years have caused thedeaths of thousands of excellent young men who naivelyfollowed th eir inaccurate an d d eviant version of Islam, mu st befaced up to and acknowledged. The absolute pragmatism of thematerialist, Nasser, met head on the absolute idealist andtactical pragmatist el-Hodeiba. The Brotherhood had chosenthe Shia role of perpetual rebellion against an unjustleadership and they were to pay a terrible price. Hodeibas

attempt to snuggle up to the ruthless Nasser was as misguidedas Al-Bannas clandestine meetings with the British in theforlorn hope that the Brotherhood had a role to play. Nassersbook, Philosophy of the Revolution, which he wrote with the

This type of book has proved popular with the upstart dictatorswho have climbed to power on the ruined Islamic socialstructures of the Osmanli Dawlat. It is no better, nor no worse

than Gadaffis comical Jacobin tract, the Green Book. Nasser,like his Libyan disciple, was convinced that he had come upwith an original idea, bu t of course in b oth cases they were thetextbook philosophy of the masonic lodges.

So it was that in place of the majestic revealed Book of Allah,Nasser offered the Egyptian masses his Theory of the Three

C ircles: the Arab W orld, the African C on tinent an d th e Spiritof Islam! In t he first circle Nasser declared th at th e factor o f theprogress of the Arab people was dependen t on the imp ortanceof petrol. Of the second circle he declared that Egypt had totake the leadership in t he con tinu ing stru ggle of th e Africans tobe free of white colonial power, because, in a generousextension of Egyptian nationalism he declared, We are all

Africans! Finally the third circle was defined as a space, that ofthe spiritual community whose centre was Makkah, thesolidarity of which was to provide the gigantic scaffolding ofour power. This was the new religion, and Islam in it hadeffectively van ished . In its place th ere was a kind of sentim ent alm ist, a space for a spirit which som eho w was sup posed to m akeU zbek, Ind on esian an d In dian feel a stran ge vibrating symp athywith his Arab brother. Since the M uslim Broth erhood had itself

been founded on somewhat similar principles, Egypt did notneed Mr Hodeiba on the palace balcony when it already had

the materialist Colonel Nasser.

About ten years ago I met with the leader, at least the intellectualleader of the Muslim Brotherhood. In the light of the terriblesituation of the Muslims I turned to him and said, We need a


48


49/144

leader who will speak on behalf of all the Muslims. You have anorganisation . You h ave peop le placed in every coun try. C all you rleadership together. Appoint from among you one man and let

h im d eclare Khalifate. The wh ole Mu slim world will follow you .A look of genuine fear crossed his face. He looked over hisshoulder as if there was someone behind him. We cannot doth at, he said. W e are having a meeting in six mon th s. I will putyour proposal to them and they will appoint a committee todecide. H e becam e even m ore un comfortable as he ad ded, Th isis no t th e mo men t. Indeed, it will never be the m omen t. It has

not been the moment since the last Khalif boarded his boat andfolded the robe of Khalifate.

As for this great socialism into which the Arab world plungedwith such blindness, enthusiasm and often greed, it hasvan ished with out a trace. W ell, n ot altogether, for th ey still havethe state apparatus acceptable to the capitalist world, and they

have excellent secret police organisation s with th e latest to rtur etechnology imported by them from the state of Israel.

It must be understood, and this is not a subtle matter but apainfully clear one, that Nasser believed in Allah. He was in thelanguage of our fiqh a Muwahid, believing in the oneness ofAllah, but in h armon y with th e wahh abite backgroun d of all thereformers he saw the second Shahada as merely theconfirmation that it was through him, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, that the Quran had been revealed. That Islam

was a social system and indeed a welfare system, vastly superiorto socialism because it functioned under Divine and Propheticinstruction, was a fact of which he was completely ignorant. Inan in terview with De G aulles biographer Jean Lacoutu re hedeclared th at you could n ot govern by the Q uran because it is

II

49


50/144

susceptible to so many interpretations, and being a very openbook the Quran did not seem to him to have the capacity toserve a political doctrine. Now, the fragment of Islam that

N asser had learn ed h ad come from t he same sources th at guidedthe M uslim Brotherho od, and they had don e away with th e fiqhand that framework of social justice which was based on theAmal of Madinah and which was nothing other than the civicembodiment of the Deen. So it was that on the 14th January1954, t he same m on th in wh ich the fateful interview was givento France-Soir, el-Hodeiba and hundreds of the Muslim

Brotherhood were put behind bars. The rebels had rebelledagainst the d ictator who was a rebel who had rebelled against th eking who was the in heritor of a rebellion against the Khalif.

An attemp t was in deed m ade to assassinate N asser. Arms cacheswere found and the leadership iden tified in the p lot. This timethe Brotherhood was declared illegal and 18,000 members of

the quasi-secret society were arrested on 31st October. By 1955Nassers complete and absolute commitment to materialistsocialism became openly declared by him, confirming it in animportant discourse that he gave to the Military Academy. Heflun g himself into Th ird-W orldism and met o ne b y on e all thegreat socialist leaders in those days when socialism did appearto be m aking its impact on the world. He became th e friend ofth e Soviets, of Tito, C he G uavara and Sekou Tou r. He was th e

darling of the Third World and yet could still give a warmembrace in Madrid to General Franco. By 1956 he was urging

the abolition of the Islamic Laws on marriage and divorce.

Do not forget, oh Arabs! Your abandoning of the Islamic Lawof marriage, far from being an advance in moral values, issimply nothing other than embracing the kafir view that the


50


51/144

family should be abolished and that m an, who is no t by naturemonogamous, should at best set up mistresses in secret orsimply have intercourse wherever he desires without sanction,

which is the kafir norm. The Islamic Shariat decrees that thereshould be no sexual pleasure that is not accompanied by theguarantee o f social respon sibility. In stead of driving the womanout uniquely for extra-marital pleasure, other women partnersare integrated into an extended and economically unifiedfamily system, th us givin g emo tion al and h um an security to th echildren o f such u nion s.

Th e two great even ts of N assers life from a geopolitical poin t o fview are the nationalising of the Suez Canal, which was abrilliant and deserved success, and the Six-Day War, which wasa disaster from which Egypt never recovered. In the aftermathof the Suez crisis Nasser pursued his fantasy of Arab unity. In1957 he held important talks with the Syrian kafir Michel

Aflaq, and over the following years Egypt was to unite withSyria and separate with Syria and repeat the experiment withIraq, each even t inspired by the m aterialist an d socialist dream .In Baghdad on 15th July 1958 N uri Said, disguised as a woman ,fled through the streets of the city until he was caught by thecrowd who in the exaltation of their revolutionary fervour torehis body to pieces. The British-invented monarchy of Iraq wasfinished and General Abdalkarim Kassem, to the chanting of

the Marseillaise, celebrated their revolution. It was the 14th ofJuly! Nassers dream o f the U .A.R., the U n ited Arab R epub lics,

from an ideological point of view was simp ly a U .S.A., a U n ionof Socialist Arabs. In 1961 the Cairo Tower, an ultra-modernconstruction which gave views as far as the pyramids, wasfinanced with a gift of three million dollars from the C.I.A..

O n 9t h Febru ary 1963 G eneral Kassem was shot dead followin ganother coup dtat in Baghdad which brought to powerGeneral Arif, a convinced Nasserite and Baathist. In Damascus

Salah Al-Bitar took power and declared himself ready yet againto try to un ify the Arab nation s. Yet within a few mon ths th eNasserites had lost control of Damascus leaving five hundreddead in its streets. By th e end of th e year th e effect in Iraq wasfelt and the president had to step aside for his brother Abdar-Rah man Arif. The following year N asser cou ld d efin itely claimhe was the leader of the Arab world. With Ben Bella in Algeria

and the notorious kafir Bourguiba in Tunisia, Sallal in Yemen,Abboud in Sudan, Amin Al-Hafiz in Syria and Arif in Iraq,Nasser could count on varying forms of socialist support. Onthe oth er hand the legitimate mon arch of Morocco stood apart,observant, while the illegitimate monarchs of Arabia andJordan sat grimly in opposition. With the sole exception ofH assan II of Mo rocco, not on e of these leaders could be seen as

upholding the Deen of Islam inside his country. In this year ofNassers triumphs Khrushchev awarded him the Order ofLenin. He received this Order proudly while millions ofMuslims inside the Soviet Union were persecuted, thousandswere still in the Gulags, and only a handful were permitted toatten d th e H ajj. Not on e voice was raised to plead th eir right tofulfil th eir fifth Islamic ob ligation .

Despite the world acclaim for Nasser, every year revealed howimp ossible it was going to be for th e n ew religion , with its twin

pillars of nationalism and Arabism, to succeed. By 1965Bourguiba was howling insults across the desert on Egypt.Never, he declared, have the Arabs been so divided, that isfrom the day that Egypt took on its sacred mission to unify us.

At the b eginn ing of 1966 the trial of the Muslim Brotherhoodmembers accused of attempting assassination opened. Over356 separate judicial cases were filed in the courts.

Disturbingly, military officers were among the accused andeven a member of the presidential guard. Put in evidenceduring the trials was the complicity of Arabia and its Saudirulers. The trials were to last into the following spring. On 1stMay at an industrial centre in Mehallah Al-Kubra, Nasserdelighted the workers by attacking those who in the name ofthe defence of Islam wished to restore a feudal economy in

Egypt. He denounced King Faisal, calling him the BeardedOne, and accused his proposed plan to set up a permanentConference of Islamic States of being an American planintended to isolate the progressive and socialist Arab nations.

The growing confidence and financial expansion of the newstate of Israel was backed by its conviction that the capitalist

system would trium ph over the socialism th at still staggered on ,having emerged from the ruins of World War II in what wasclearly only a temporary revival of energy. In 1967 Israellaunched its Blitzkrieg, devastating the entire army of Nasser.The disaster was overwhelming. 20,000 Egyptians dead, 700tanks destroyed, and the Air Force virtually wiped out. In thewake of th e disaster, to ease th e interior ten sion s in th e coun try,he announced his intent ion to l iberate the Muslim

Brotherhood prisoners, partly in recognition of theirundoubtedly heroic performance during the brief and

overwhelming conflict with the enemy.

In 1968, when you might imagine things could not get worsefor the post-Islamic Arab world, the sinister figure of MichelAflaq turned up in Baghdad to join the leader of the new

Baathist cou p dtat, this time brin gin g to po wer the even m oremenacing figure of Saddam Hussein.
