And incline not toward those who do wrong, lest the Fire should touch you, and you have no protectors other than Allah, nor you would then be helped. (Hud: 113)
Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi al-Mad’khali, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated:
Do not incline towards the oppressors – those who unjustly harm the people, by shedding their blood, seizing their wealth, and violating their honour. They may also oppress the people in matters of religion through bidah, misguidance, and spreading harmful propaganda that contradicts Islam. Avoid associating with any of these individuals; do not support or assist them in their falsehood. The verse covers all categories of oppressors. Every follower of falsehood, every innovator in religious matters, and anyone who dishonours a Muslim is considered an oppressor. Therefore, refrain from aligning yourself with any of them to avoid being affected by the fire of hell. When you incline towards a sinner, an innovator in religious affairs, an oppressor, a criminal, someone who dishonours others, or those who violate the sanctity of the divine legislation, it is as if you are pleased with them, as if you are aiding and abetting them. [1]
What has happened to the conscience of those who have the power to prevent Netaanyahu from carrying on with genocide?!
This describes the connection between Netanyahu and his allies, and the gatherings organised to strengthen their suppression of the Palestinians. The Zionist media, in their relentless pursuit, aims to present a distorted image of reality. Instead of having a well-defined vision of the world, Netanyahu chooses to live in a delusional state, imposing his fanciful and irrational perspective on others. He strives to project a false image of himself, disregarding the undeniable truth of his actions, which only reveals his complete detachment from reality. In his twisted world, he navigates through a distorted reality where truth is flipped on his head. He strives to make the impossible possible, all while asserting his right to exist not out of reason, but out of a sense of entitlement that trumps the needs of others. In his world, words hold whatever meaning he chooses to assign to them. Therefore, we remind those who aid Netanyahu that Allah says:
And incline not toward those who do wrong, lest the Fire should touch you, and you have no protectors other than Allah, nor you would then be helped. (Hud: 113)
Indeed, the pre-October 7th Zionist endeavour is well-known; however, October 7th merely represents an extension of 70 years of relentless savagery and annihilation, cunningly disguised as warfare and vindicated under the guise of self-preservation and countering transgressions against their territorial integrity. In his perspective, the atrocities inflicted upon them by the senseless fools of Hamas serve as the foundation for the ceaseless conflict, wherein they have murdered thousands of Palestinians in pursuit of a so-called righteous vengeance. It is indeed correct to assert that the borders were violated and the audacious acts of Hamas caused harm to innocent civilians. However, it is important to acknowledge that these borders were never rightfully owned by them. Instead, they were acquired through a relentless cycle of savagery, bloodshed, and unscrupulous plunder spanning over seven decades.
Netanyahu is a malevolent tyrant and thief, while Hamas are harmful idiots who ignore the strategic approach to survival and the concept of choosing the lesser evil, as clarified by the erudite Islamic scholars. These scholars have constantly cautioned against provoking the heartless Zionists, who are notorious for their history of cruelty and their insatiable desire for genocide. Nevertheless, Hamas serves as nothing more than unwitting pawns in the grand scheme orchestrated by Netanyahu. Read here: https://abuiyaad.com/w/hamas-israeli-right
The Zionist media, in a state of delusion, falsely claim that there is a manipulative distortion of facts and language, such as the term “genocide,” as none of their leaders have openly expressed a desire to wipe out the Palestinians. Furthermore, they persistently try to draw parallels between the deaths of over thousands of Palestinians, including innocent women and children, and the casualties of some non-combatants among their own people. We decry the atrocities committed by Hamas, captured on GoPro cameras, and we hold that such actions are unacceptable. However, the entire world witnesses the brutal Zionist forces engaging in acts of genocide under the guise of retaliation.
They argue that they are unjustly blamed for “apartheid” and deserve recognition for granting equal rights to all their people regardless of race, religion, etc. Nevertheless, we must remind them that the world witnesses the undeniable truth that the Palestinians are deprived of basic freedoms, such as the ability to move freely or live peacefully in their own homes, due to the constant fear of brutal attacks, starvation, and more. Hence, their longing for unearned praise is akin to an armed robber pretending to be generous with the riches they have stolen, just like how we witness the Zionists seizing land and bestowing it upon their supposed favoured race. Nevertheless, despite their wickedness being as clear as daylight, they object to being labeled as colonialists, even while they have persistently oppress the native inhabitants and incessantly confiscating their belongings for more than seven decades. It is completely understandable why Netanyahu expresses the intention of genocide, given all of this behavior. Read here: https://abuiyaad.com/a/amalekite-genocide-doctrine-gaza
The entire world observed Netanyahu’s remarks, however, supporters of the Zionists in the United States and other places argue that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant are not responsible for crimes against humanity. Anyone who suggests otherwise is labelled as a “white-collar anti-Semite,” as seen in the comments made by Evangelical Pastor Johnnie Moore.
The Zionists’ American supporters, despite their desperate attempts and manipulation, can no longer conceal the truth. These manipulators not only provide weapons and intelligence to the Zionists but also aid them in prolonging their deceitful actions. They constantly seek to apologise for the IDF’s atrocities while using Hamas as a reckless distraction. Additionally, there exist certain factions who are unwilling to publicly disassociate themselves from Netanyahu due to concerns about jeopadising their personal finances. Therefore, they opt to remain silent as this self-serving wrongdoer, psychopath, and power-hungry individual continues to harm innocent women and children under the guise of combating Hamas and defending themselves.
A person is deeply disturbed by the evident timidity and greed of these ideologues as they allow Netanyahu to put himself in situations where he must resort to evasive language to shirk his responsibilities. Therefore, whether Netanyahu is permitted to perpetuate his acts of genocide or not has now become a matter that clearly distinguishes between individuals of integrity and those who have forsaken their honour, despite their desperate desire to be seen as champions of justice and fairness. They will never make a decision that contradicts Netanyahu’s preferences or demands. Netanyahu himself has not aided his cause, as evidenced by his use of genocidal rhetoric while citing distorted and abrogated religious texts. However, some individuals vociferously defend him, rather they cowardly or deceitfully pay homage to him for his alleged efforts to minimise civilian casualties, dismissing all valid accusations of genocide or arrest warrants against him as unhelpful or even anti-Semitic. Read again here: https://abuiyaad.com/a/amalekite-genocide-doctrine-gaza
It is truly astonishing how some of these American and Western ideologues strive to be seen as champions of human dignity, yet they continue to support Netanyahu despite his actions. He has been responsible for the bombing and starvation of innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza, while also attempting to suppress any organisation that exposes his war crimes. His intelligence agencies have been deployed to pressure, smear, and even allegedly threaten those who investigate his crimes. Surprisingly, certain Western and American journalists, demagogues, ideologues, and rabble-rousers argue that those pursuing Netanyahu should have trusted his Zionist government’s ability to investigate and prosecute its own war criminals, rather than seeking arrest warrants for him and Yoav Gallant. Meanwhile, Netanyahu persists in weaponising charges of “terrorism” against anyone who supports the rights of Palestinians. Despite all of this, he claims that he and his followers represent the forces of enlightenment – a pitiful form of psychological warfare that demonstrates the expansion of the battleground beyond mere physical clashes. His objective is to crush the morale and determination of an entire nation, and this calculated campaign was initiated by Netanyahu even before the 7th of October. His deceitful fabrications and distortions have been evident for many years, as he aligned himself with the most notorious deceivers of the time who propagated the falsehood of Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction. Watch here: https://salafidawah.co.uk/2024/04/21/contribution-of-the-callous-zionist-propagandist-and-rumour-monger-the-butcher-of-gaza-netanyahu-to-the-blatant-lies-that-led-to-the-2002-invasion-of-iraq/
We say to those who support Netanyahu that Allah says:
And incline not toward those who do wrong, lest the Fire should touch you, and you have no protectors other than Allah, nor you would then be helped. (Hud: 113)
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Al-Allamah Abdur Rahman Al-Afreeqee, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated:
He (i.e. Ahmad Tijani) said in Jawaahir Al-Ma’aanee: Indeed a single utterance of ‘Salatul Faatiha’ is equal to every ‘Tasbeeh’ (i.e. to say Subhaanallaah) that takes place in the ‘kawn’ (i.e. the entire existence or universe). [Source: Jawaahir Al-Ma’aanee page: 96.طبع مطبعة التقدم العلمية الطبعة الأولى]
Response to the above claim of Ahmad Tijani:
Then Al-Allaamah Abdur Rahman stated:
I think the one who uttered this speech is not really aware who Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is! He is not really aware of what Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was sent with and why Muhammad was sent.
Indeed the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, definitely fulfilled the trust he was entrusted with; conveyed the message and strove in the path of Allah until he passed away. He is the seal of the Prophets and the legislation (in belief and acts of worship) he conveyed abrogates every other law until the day of judgement. There is no human being who has ever brought anything similar to what the Messenger Muhammad brought after he left this world. Whoever claims that there is a revelation or that he has received revelation after Muhammad, then indeed this is the greatest lie against Allah. Allah, The Most High, said:
And say not concerning that which your tongues put forth falsely: “This is lawful and this is forbidden,” so as to invent lies against Allah. Verily, those who invent lies against Allah will never prosper. A passing brief enjoyment (will be theirs), but they will have a painful torment.’’ [An-Nahl. 116-117]
The Prophet said:
وخير ما قلت أنا والنبيون من قبلي: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير
And the best thing said by me and the previous prophets is: ”There is no deity worthy of worship other than Allah, who is alone, having no partner. His is the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise. He is, of everything, All-Capable.” [Silsilah As-Sahihah. Number: 1503]
Therefore, will anyone with a sound intellect affirm that a single utterance of Salatul Fatiha is better than a single Dhikr that has been transmitted from the Prophet with an authentic chain of transmission, let alone all the Adhkaar (supplications) that take place in the Kawn (i.e. the entire existence or universe)? Do you not use your intellects?! O people! Did they [Adam, Nuh, Musaa, Eesaa and Muhammad (peace be upon them)] not used to remember Allaah? So is the innovator of this Tareeqah Tijaaniyyah better than these Prophets?
He (i.e. Ahmad Tijaani) stated in Al-Ifaadah (page: 80): ”Whoever does not believe that it (i.e. Salatul Fatihah) is from the Qur’aan will not receive a reward from it [i.e. he or she will not be rewarded for reciting Salatul Fatiha]”.
So we say: Whoever believes that (Salatul Fatiha) is from the Qur’an, then indeed he has committed clear disbelief because revelation is not sent down except to a Prophet. We do not find this (Salatul Fatiha) in the Qur’an; rather not even in a fabricated hadeeth attributed to Allah’s Messenger. Is the one to whom ‘Salatul Fatiha’ was revealed a Prophet or a Wali? If he is a Wali, then revelation is never sent down to a Wali.
The people in this Tijani path are two types of people: The first group: If they believe that ‘Salatul Fatiha’ is from the Qur’an, then indeed they have exited the fold of Islam. (I) The second group: If they believe that ‘Salatul Fatiha’ is not from the Qur’an, then indeed they have exited from their Tijani path because there is no reward in it. (1)

Knowledge of The Unseen – A Brief Rebuttal Against All The Extremist Sufis
Neither Do the Prophets, Messengers and Angels Possess Knowledge of Unseen nor Does Allah Reveal the Unseen to Anyone Else, Except What He Wishes to Inform the Prophets and Messengers
Allah (The Most High) said: [وَعِنْدَهُ مَفَاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا هُوَ – And with Him are the keys of the Ghaib (all that is hidden), none knows them but He].
In his explanation of the above Ayah, Imaam Ash-Shanqeetee, may Allah have mercy upon him, brought a number of robust proofs to demonstrate and establish that even the most knowledgeable amongst the creation- Allah’s Messengers and Angels-do not posses knowledge of the Unseen. The Imam, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:
Proof A: Aa’isha (may Allah be pleased with her] was falsely accused and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] did not know whether she was innocent or not until Allah informed him, saying: [ أُولَٰئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ- ‘Such (good people) are innocent of (each and every) bad statement which they say].
Proof B: Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, slaughtered a lamb for the angels, whilst not knowing that they were angels until they informed him that they were angels. Allah said that the angels said to him: [إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ – We have been sent against the people of Lout (Lot). (11:70)]
Proof C: When the angels came to Prophet Lut (peace be upon him), he did not know that they were angels, and due to that Allah said: [عَصِيبٌ سِيءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ – He was grieved on their account and felt himself straitened for them (lest the town people should approach them to commit lewdness with them). He said: This is a distressful day]. And because of this Allah said that lut said: [لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَىٰ رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ – Would that I had strength (men) to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support (to resist you). (11:80)]. He did not know the news the angels brought until they said to him: [إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْكَ – Verily, we are the Messengers from your Lord!]
Proof D: Prophet Ya’qub, peace be upon him, lost his eye sight due to grieving for Yusuf (peace be upon him), whilst he was in Egypt. He did not know anything about Yusuf until Allah reveal news about him.
Proof E: Prophet Sulayman (peace be upon him), even though Allah gave him authority over the devils and subjugated the wind in his service, did not know about the people Bilqees until the Hud-hud came with news about them. Allah said that the Hud-hud said: [أَحَطْتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ وَجِئْتُكَ مِنْ سَبَإٍ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ – I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Saba’ (Sheba) with true news].
Proof F: Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him) did not know that his son – who was drowned- was not from those members of his household who were to be saved, as Allah said that Nuh said: [رَبِّ إِنَّ ابْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِي وَإِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ – O my Lord! Verily, my son is of my family! And certainly, Your Promise is true.(11:45)]
He did not know the reality of the affair until Allah informed him, saying:
[بِهِ عِلْمٌ ۖ إِنِّي أَعِظُكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ قَالَ يَا نُوحُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ ۖ إِنَّهُ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ ۖ فَلَا تَسْأَلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ – He said: “O Nuh (Noah)! Surely, he is not of your family; verily, his work is unrighteous, so ask not of Me that of which you have no knowledge! I admonish you, lest you be one of the ignorant].
And indeed Allah (The Most High) also stated in Surah Hud about Nuh that he said to his people: [وَلَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِي خَزَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ -And I do not say to you that with me are the Treasures of Allah, “Nor that I know the Ghaib (unseen)].
Proof G: And when Allah said to the Angels: [هَٰؤُلَاءِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ أَنْبِئُونِي بِأَسْمَاءِ -Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful]; Allah said that the angels replied: [قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا -They (angels) said: “Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us.
Therefore, it is very clear that the most knowledgeable amongst the creation, the Messengers and the Angels, do not know anything of the unseen except what Allah makes known to them. Allah (The Most High) informs His Messengers what He wishes from the knowledge of the Unseen, as Allah stated:
[وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَجْتَبِي مِنْ رُسُلِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۖ- Nor will Allah disclose to you the secrets of the Ghaib (unseen), but Allah chooses of His Messengers whom He pleases].
And Allah said: [إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِنْ رَسُولٍ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَد- (He Alone) the All-Knower of the Gha’ib (unseen), and He reveals to none His Gha’ib (unseen).” Except to a Messenger (from mankind)…(2)

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
The reason behind sharing this series stems from my beloved Salafi brother, close friend, and confidant, Ustaadh Abu Tasneem, Mushaf Al-Banghali, may Allah protect him, who spoke to me recently about Al-Allamah Umar Fullata, may Allah have mercy on him. I mentioned that he is from my tribe and that I had come across his name briefly in the Majmu’ah of Allamah Abdul Muhsin, may Allah preserve him. Ustaadh Abu Tasneem then informed me that Shaikh Al-Allamah Umar Fullata has beautiful and beneficial lectures available online and encouraged me to share his biography with those who may not be familiar with him. He also helped me locate a specific Risaalah by Al-Allamah Abdul Muhsin that is dedicated to Al-Allamah Umar. Some wonder or feel confused about why we mention either Ustaadh Abu Tasneem or others when discussing some benefits shared on this website. My answer to them is that we are living in a time where it is common to take credit for others’ efforts or to attempt to alter history. Therefore, when we are directed to a specific matter that we were unaware of or encouraged to engage in something commendable, it is our duty to express gratitude to those individuals rather than act as if it was solely our own doing. May Allah keep us from being among those who claim what is not theirs or those who try to rewrite history out of self-importance. If someone finds the mention of names unnecessary, we respect their viewpoint but prefer to take actions that protect our hearts from concealing the merits of others. To proceed:
Al-Allamah Abdul Muhsin Al-Abbad al-Badr, may Allah preserve him and prolong his life upon everything pleasing and beloved to Him, stated:
All praise is due to Allah; we praise Him and seek His assistance, and we ask for His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls and from the evil of our actions. Whomever Allah guides, there is no one to mislead him, and whomever He allows to stray, there is no guide for him. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, alone without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, His beloved and chosen one among His creation. Allah sent him as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner before the Hour, calling to Allah by His permission and as a shining lamp. He guided his nation towards all that is good and warned them against all that is evil. O Allah, send Your blessings, peace, and mercy upon him, his family, and his companions, and upon those who follow his path and are guided by his guidance until the Day of recompense. To proceed:
The speech with you, dear brothers, in this meeting is about Shaikh Umar Muhammad Fallata, may Allah have mercy on him. If this speech were taking place in another country among who are not fully acquainted with Shaikh Omar, may Allah have mercy upon him, what I say to you might have contain some benefit. However, since we are speaking about him in Madina among people who are acquainted with him, the benefit may not be particularly significant. My speech regarding Shaikh Umar, may Allah have mercy on him, will cover several matters:
Firstly: His name, birth, and upbringing.
Secondly: His creed, his call to Islam, and his methodology.
Thirdly: His teaching at the Prophet’s Mosque.
Fourthly: His administration of the Dar Al-Hikma in Madina.
Fifth: His other works outside Dar Al-Hikma, in addition to his supervision of Dar Al-Hikma.
Sixth: His number of his pilgrimages.
Seventh: How I came to know Shaikh Omar and the nature of the relationship between us.
Eighth: His characteristics and the similarities between him and his Shaikh, as well as my Shaikh, Shaikh Abdur Rahman Al-Afreeqee, may Allah have mercy on him.
Ninth: A mention of examples of his humour and anecdotes, may Allah have mercy on him.
Tenth: His passing, and his descendants.

Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness, and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. [Al-Ma’idah. 2]
Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:
This verse encompasses all the Masaalih (welfare and wellbeing) for the servants of Allah in their worldly matters and the Hereafter – whether it be in their interactions with one another or in their relationship with their Lord. This is because every servant of Allah is faced with two responsibilities and duties – either fulfilling the rights owed to Allah or fulfilling the rights owed to Allah’s creation. Regarding the responsibilities towards creation, they encompass righteous companionship, mutual assistance in what Allah loves, and obedience to Allah which are the ultimate purpose for seeking happiness and success in the hereafter. [1]
Concerning Dawah Salafiyyah in Manchester, Shaikh Abu Khadeejah, may Allah safeguard him, stated:
“Manchester has a long history of Salafi Da’wah, māshā Allāh Allāhumma bārik. Dr. Faisal Malik and myself were living in Rusholme — and Abu Iyaad (who was in Essex Uni at the time doing his Phd) would visit us. And we would visit him in Essex. Abu A’ishah (my elder brother who was doing his PhD in Manchester Uni) set up the Quran and Sunnah society because the Islamic ISOC was run by Ikhwanis. Murad Al-Jazā’irī was around in those days — and within months, he started fighting us and gathering his “files”. Then he had a change of heart after a few sittings, followed by several bouts of toing and froing between us and Jimas and Brixton causing corruption. Very active period: regular lectures at Ambrose (Manchester Uni prayer hall, a converted church building), also at Salford Uni and UMIST. A lot of battles on campus with Fosis, HT, Ikhwanis, takfīris, etc. It was in this period (late 1995 and early 1996) that we split from Jimas (after the Ali Tamimi visit) and we set up Oasis, which was dissolved in the same year (1996) after the Oasis conference in Birmingham. Then after that, we set up Salafi Publications: Myself, Abu Iyaad, Abu Talhah (rahimahullāh) along with our brother Abu Hakeem who was in Madinah. Dawah spread through the website, yahoo email groups, book publications, translations, audio, the “Blazing Meteor” series, etc. That was the era of Ibn Bāz, Al-Albāni, Ibn Uthaimīn, Muqbil, Rabee, An-Najmi, Ubayd, etc — visits from Abdus-Salām Burjis, etc Foundation years: from 1993 to 2001, I’d say. A lot of the brothers who stood firm are still around, although some have died since, may Allah protect the living and have mercy on the deceased”. [End of quote]
Since the departure of Shaikh Abu Khadeejah and others from Manchester – may Allah bless and reward them for establishing the foundation as much as they could, Salafiyyah has remained evident and clear through the various challenges posed by the Mubtadi’ah and the Hizbiyyoon. This is our current situation, and one must ask Allah for safety until we meet Him, Amin. Currently, one must express gratitude to Allah for the following blessings: a masjid, a bookstore, employment opportunities for some brothers and sisters, three lessons each week from the works of major scholars, Al-Allamah Ahmad An-Najmi and Al-Allamah Ubaid Al-Jabiri, may Allah have mercy on them, as well as all the scholars who have passed away, and our parents; the books of Al-Allamah Salih Al-Fawzan, may Allah preserve him, as taught by Ustaadh Abdul Hakim, may Allah preserve him.
Additionally, there are visits from students outside of Manchester and the organised conferences with the local Mashayikh whenever possible, supported by numerous volunteers in the community. There is a Quran school at the masjid and the bookstore, the weekend school at the masjid, and the Tuition club for primary to GCSE years, as well as Arabic and Quran classes for both men and women, along with online education and tuition. All of these are purely the blessings of Allah. May Allah grant everyone the Tawfeeq to continue and to bring others along, through whom our Lord bestows even more blessings, fostering cooperation in Bir and Taqwah, brotherhood for the sake of Allah, and striving for all that is beloved to Allah, Amin.
As youth back in 1995, we never expected these blessings. Yet, a believer should always maintain a positive expectation of their Lord while doing their utmost, asking for forgiveness due to our numerous shortcomings and thanking Allah for His blessings. We look forward to more blessings, InShaAllah, especially with many young people returning from their studies to serve their communities, and others who are still pursuing their education abroad. InShaAllah, they will bring back the knowledge gained from the scholars, and we happily join them to visit our local Mashayikh in seeking guidance on how to enhance Dawah in our communities. The youth are the future bearers of Dawah, so they must be supported, shown kindness and embraced, and together we seek advice from the scholars and our local Mashayikh to pursue everything that will protect our Aakhirah. May Allah grant them success in completing their studies and returning to benefit all communities across the country, Amin.
Truly, my Mancunian brothers and sisters, the issue at hand goes beyond the length of a person’s stay, the impact of their efforts, or how quickly they surpass others in learning and Dawah. What is truly important is the ongoing supplication to Allah for Tawfeeq to fulfill one’s acts of worship, striving to gain knowledge to the best of one’s ability, and keeping a watchful eye on one’s intentions until we meet our Lord. May Allah bestow upon us Tawfiq, Ikhlas, Thabaat, and Husnul Khatimah. Only Allah is aware of how much time each person has in this life, so we should support each other, offer advice to one another, and take actionable steps to empower one another in everything that is pleasing to Allah. Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: Whoever advises his brother to rectify affairs related to his religion and gives him insight into a worldly affair has perfected their relationship and fulfilled his obligation of (brotherhood) to him”. [2]
The feelings shared in this post are entirely my own, yet I am aware that many other brothers in their mid fifties, like myself, resonate with these thoughts. This includes my beloved Salafi brother, close companion, confidant, and colleague in the education sector, Ustaadh abu Tasneem Mushaf Al-Banghali. May Allah protect him and guide us all towards what is beloved and pleasing to Him. Amin.
Abu Mu’aawiyah/Abu Abee Bakr [Abdullah Jallow, Al-Fulani Al-Gambi]
[1] An Excerpt from “Bada’i at-Tafsir Al-Jami Limaa Fassarahu Al-Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah. 1/307. Publisher: Daar Ibn Al-Jawziyyah 2nd Ed, 1431AH
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, companions, and those who follow him in righteousness until the Day of recompense. To proceed:
This is an advice of mine to my children, my brothers, the Muslims, and particularly to the people of Hadith and the Salafis. I advise them to fear Allah, to adhere to the rope of Allah, hold firmly to it, and to adhere to the methodology of the righteous predecessors in creed, worship, manners, mutual dealings, transactions, and all aspects of Islam and matters of life.
I advise them with agreement and unity upon the truth, and to hold fast to it with the molar teeth (i.e. adhere to it strongly), cooperating upon righteousness and piety, aid (one another) upon it, help the oppressed, give importance to striving in the path of Allah, elevating the statement of truth and monotheism, and reject the Bidah and misguidance that have corrupted the beliefs and minds of many Muslims, thus ruining their lives, and make them become (like) debris, similar to the debris of the flood, and to return the one who has fallen into (such situation) to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, (the path) of the rightly guided caliphs and the rightly guided Imams.
This is a brief (quick message, and what matters is not speech, but rather actions.
O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah; even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do. [An-Nisaa. 135]
This article serves as a brief reply to the psychological tactics employed by Daniel Rowe, who occasionally affirms and negates simultaneously as a deliberate linguistic strategy. This clearly indicates his sarcasm, which is further coupled with delusion of grandeur, a sense of extreme self-entitlement, boastfulness, a victim mentality, and a craving for impunity—traits commonly observed among many Zionist supporters of Netanyahu and the IDF.
Daniel stated: Israel’s challenge: Embracing the world’s high expectations as a strength – opinion. [end of quote]
Our Response: Zionist self-amazement: dismantling the illusion of Zionist moral superiority – opinion.
Daniel stated: At some level, even our harshest critics expect more from us. They hold us to standards they would never dream of applying to themselves or their allies. [end of quote]
Response: You are expected to do more, not due to any unique qualities you possess, but because it is often observed that those who have endured the most suffering at the hands of others tend to be the most compassionate when given the chance to express kindness. You frequently speak of the horrors inflicted upon you by the Nazis, yet your IDF continue to kill, brutalise, maim, starve, and even shoot at Palestinians who seek the so-called aid you provide. Indeed, we could never aspire to emulate your Prime Minister or your IDF, as it never crosses our minds, even in our most furious moments, to harm women or children.
Daniel stated: The world watches Israel with an intensity that borders on obsession in ways that simply don’t apply to other nations engaged in similar conflicts. This scrutiny often feels unfair, even malicious – and sometimes it is. But what if this burden could be transformed into an opportunity? [end of quote]
Response: Individuals with a sense of morality in this world observe the actions of the Zionists with a level of astonishment that is truly remarkable, as the Netanyahu-led regime has recently revealed its true nature through its actions. It is not that people are fixated on you; rather, they have not encountered any regime in recent history that so seamlessly blends brutality, deceit, entitlement, and a victim mentality. This level of scrutiny is neither unjust nor spiteful; therefore, transforming this situation and the weight of your wrongdoings into a chance for change necessitates an immediate halt to the atrocities and the killing of women and children.
Daniel stated: Israel faces a level of attention that defies rational explanation. The current Gaza conflict, for example, receives far more attention than all the other 32 wars currently occurring on planet Earth combined. This includes wars with far higher casualty rates. This is even though the civilian-to-combatant ratio in Gaza represents what may be the most restrained urban warfare in modern history. [end of quote]
Response: The people have observed a level of Zionist brutality, arrogance, impunity, and a victim mentality that is beyond rational explanation. They have not witnessed a recent conflict that has been conducted under the pretense of self-defense, while its ideologues, demagogues and rabble rousers continue to annihilate entire families who are neither armed nor combatants. Furthermore, when you begin to tally the number of casualties and compare them to others, you attempt to distract from the reality that this issue did not begin on October 8. Instead, it has been over 70 years of brutality, impunity, oppression, transgression, and a victim mentality. However, this does not mean that we condone the actions of Hamas against civilians and non-combatants.
Daniel stated: For years, two-thirds of all United Nations resolutions have focused on one tiny country: Israel. If an alien came down from another planet and wanted to understand what it is that humans think is the most important issue facing the planet, they would likely note that there is one single topic that rises above all others both in the UN and in media coverage worldwide, and that is the Jewish people in the Land of Israel who are not behaving well enough. [end of quote]
Response: It is quite absurd when one attempts to manipulate history. This is due to the fact that the United Nations was exploited by Western ideologues and demagogues among the Colonialists to bestow upon you possessions that rightfully do not belong to you. However, it matters little how many individuals oppose you, for some of those wielding veto power and who have commandeered the UN are aligned with your interests. Nothing can be enacted against the Zionists if the demagogues, ideologues, and rabble-rousers of America are in disagreement.
Regarding your absurd assertion about extraterrestrials and the promised land, we shall refrain from engaging in discussions about aliens. Instead, let us focus on the true issue plaguing our world, which is nothing other than what Imam Ibnul Qayyim articulated.

Daniel stated: We are not just dealing with antisemitism, though that certainly exists, but something more complex. At some level, even our harshest critics expect more from us. They hold us to standards they would never dream of applying to themselves or their allies. [end of quote]
Response: Antisemitism is denounced whenever it is accurately recognized, yet it should not be exploited for psychological manipulation or to foster a victim mentality. Read below:
Regarding your misguided belief that you are subjected to expectations by others that they would never consider imposing on themselves or their associates, we reiterate that the criteria by which we evaluate actions is based on the revelation that prohibits the killing of women, children, and non-combatants, as well as the destruction of vegetation, mutilation, and the desecration of places of worship, among other things. Read below:
Daniel stated: The questions of why that is, or whether or not we should hold up a mirror to them, have proven to be irrelevant, as they simply return to the same actions over and over again. This predates the Gaza conflict and dates back to Israel’s very inception. Their obsession defies logic. [end of quote]
Response: This part of your speech revolves around how you are seen. What needs to be highlighted is that since 1948, Zionists have consistently acted as aggressors. Thus, it doesn’t matter if you believe you shouldn’t have to make an effort because accusations will come regardless. Your very existence was enabled by the same individuals whose countries you wish to continue supplying you with weapons to harm Palestinians. The illogical obsession here is your fixation on claiming what isn’t yours, along with seeking backing to continue a conflict that you fruadulently present as essential for survival. In reality, it is a strategy to permanently displace Palestinians from their homeland, and Hamas serves as your instrument in achieving that aim. Read: https://www.abuiyaad.com/w/hamas-israeli-right
Daniel stated: This impossible standard, however unfair, carries within it an unintended compliment: the world’s subconscious expectation that we should be different, that we should transcend the moral compromises that others accept as inevitable. [end of quote]
Response: Once again, we anticipate that you will act like ordinary individuals—individuals who do not remain passive while children and women are killed every day. There is no subconscious expectation for you to be any different; instead, what is required is for you to let go of this illusion of grandeur and invulnerability. Discard your empty ambitions—do not base your sense of moderation or ethics on a feeling of superiority over others, as you are not superior, nor does anyone with a shred of common sense believe you are, despite your assertions and self-promotion. Therefore, the matter at hand is not just about moral compromise, but rather a call for you to conduct yourself in a normal manner.
Daniel said: This is not all negative. Israel, as the Jewish collective, is undoubtedly the most hated nation on earth. But it is also the most loved, admired, and adored. I travel the world as a visible Jew and have been stopped many times by people wanting to give me blessings – and wanting me to bless them. Not many other nations on Earth are thought of in the same way. It is not that the world hates us; it is that the world is obsessed with us. [end of quote]
Response: Once more, we see victim mentality, emotional rhetoric, and delusions of grandeur. No one has inflicted more destruction through hatred of Palestinians than the animosity expressed and acted upon by the Zionist supporters of Netanyahu's regime. Explore the vitriol that flows from the mouths of certain ideologues, demagogues, and rabble-rousers. Take the time to read: https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2025/01/15/must-take-a-look-at-what-is-happening-in-their-own-backyard-first/
It is quite amusing how deceitful you are. Firstly, while every Zionist professes to be a Jew, it is important to note that not every Jew identifies as a Zionist. Secondly, it is good that you have not encountered any anti-Semitism during your travels. Lastly, it is quite laughable how you present your image: merely receiving hospitality does not imply that there is a widespread positive sentiment towards Netanyahu and his supporters. Furthermore, your transition from claiming to be the most reviled to asserting that such animosity is actually an obsession reveals your tendency to engage in sarcasm. The issue is straightforward: there should be no anti-Semitism, nor should there be genocide. What you refer to as obsession is, in fact, a legitimate demand from all conscientious individuals for you to cease the genocide, self-deception, and irrational victim mentality.
Daniel stated: How do we respond to this reality constructively? FIRST, WE must abandon the defeatist attitude that “they hate us anyway, so why bother explaining ourselves?” This approach has led to criminally negligent failures in public diplomacy. We lack the rapid response capabilities that any modern political campaign would consider essential. [end of quote]
Response: The discussion has circled back to the idea that they hate us, despite claims of obsession without hatred. It’s a manipulation of words and the emotions of the audience. However, a more fitting approach would be to investigate as well the animosity directed towards Palestinians. Additionally, people detest the brutality exhibited by the Zionist allies of Netanyahu and the IDF because they still possess some sense of morality, yet we also denounce antisemitism and the actions of Hamas against unarmed civilians and non-combatants; indeed, even combatants have rights that must be respected. You don’t need to justify your actions, nor will there be what you perceive as criminally negligent failures in public diplomacy, nor is there a requirement for rapid response political campaigning if both you and Hamas follow what the infallible directives in the divine revelation. Prince Turki Al-Faisal, may Allah preserve him, scolded both Netanyahu’s regime and Hamas. Listen below:
Daniel stated: When false claims spread, we often remain silent while the lie circles the globe, only issuing corrections weeks later, after the damage is done. Mark Twain is often credited with the quote that “a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still getting its shoes on.” Secondly, we need to invest heavily in building alliances and shaping narratives before crises hit. Qatar transformed itself from an irrelevant backwater Arabian country to a major regional player in just two decades through strategic communication and relationship building. If they can do it, certainly we can marshal our considerable intellectual and creative resources to do the same. [end of quote]
Response: No one makes more false assertions than Netanyahu and the Zionist media; thus, it is expected that we remain silent, rather than taking time to fabricate a misleading story or avoid accountability. Consequently, the most significant harm caused is simply the propaganda of Zionist Netanyahu. If this is Mark’s assertion, then we indeed affirm: “Zionist falsehoods travel halfway around the globe while the truth is still putting on its shoes.” Furthermore, you already possess numerous alliances, and some among you consistently attempt to manipulate narratives by exploiting antisemitism and the Holocaust to garner sympathy while perpetrating crimes against Palestinians. Qatar is a Muslim nation, and we pray to Allah to empower the Muslim leaders and countries so they can effectively counter Zionist narratives.
Daniel stated: We need to proactively find and engage with the billions of people who love us, not just keep fighting those who hate us. Through equitable relationship building with partners who face similar difficulties in their regions, we can create a new narrative. The third, and to my mind by far the most important, is to abandon the expectation that we be treated like every other nation. We should give up trying to be an ordinary people. If the world scrutinizes us in an extraordinary way, it is because of a deep, perhaps subconscious expectation that we are meant to be an extraordinary people. [end of quote]
Response: The countless individuals who adore you and those who despise you do not serve as a measure by which your matters are evaluated; instead, your affairs are assessed according to your deeds. There is no regime comparable to Netanyahu’s in its harsh treatment of the Palestinians. Consequently, the challenges faced by Jews stem solely from the actions of their ideologues, demagogues, and rabble-rousers, whose behaviors have resulted in land theft, murder, and the displacement of Palestinian children and non-combatants since 1948. As a result, those unable to address this issue fairly may resort to extreme measures, potentially harming innocent Jews or taking the law into their own hands in other nations. This creates a vicious cycle that we denounce—condemning both the Zionists who promote the continuation of brutal policies and those who attack Jewish citizens or take the law into their own hands.
Moreover, the only individuals with whom the brutal Zionists can maintain a so-called equitable relationship are those who either support them with weapons to continue their genocidal actions, back them politically for financial gain, or out of fear of being labeled an antisemite, a Jew hater, or a Holocaust denier. These individuals will assist Netanyahu in crafting a new narrative. However, this does not imply that if Zionists genuinely seek peace without deceit, the matter is left to the Muslim leaders to extend a hand to forge peace treaties, just as the Prophet made peace with the Jewish tribes after migrating to Madinah.

Daniel stated: The third, and to my mind by far the most important, is to abandon the expectation that we be treated like every other nation. We should give up trying to be an ordinary people. If the world scrutinizes us in an extraordinary way, it is because of a deep, perhaps subconscious expectation that we are meant to be an extraordinary people. [end of quote]
Response: Netanyahu’s regime stands out as the only one in the world that operates without accountability, leading every reasonable individual to anticipate that they will be treated differently. The individuals within Netanyahu’s regime and his associates are notorious for their genocidal rhetoric. Those Zionists who back Netanyahu’s regime are not remarkable in a commendable way; instead, they are notable for their blameworthy characteristics – an incessant craving for impunity, a victim mentality, genocidal language, unfounded claims to land, and false accusations against those who justly criticise them, as well as exploiting the Holocaust and antisemitism to silence dissent, among other negative traits. These flaws are evident to people as clearly as the midday sun, and this examination is not rooted in some supposed subconscious expectation that Zionists like Netanyahu and his associates should be an admirable group; rather, the expectation is for them to cease the genocide.
Daniel stated: THE FOUNDING texts of Christianity and Islam are about the Jews. The founding texts of hard-left politics, from the founders of communism, were mostly written by Jews. The Jew lies at the center of their very identity, which simultaneously produces unparalleled admiration and unmatched resentment, jealousy, and fear. [end of quote]
Response: This segment of Daniel’s deception, characterised by absurd ambiguity and psychological manipulation, becomes even more contentious due to his incorporation of religion into the discourse. The foundational texts of the messages delivered by the noble Prophets Isa and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon both of them and all the prophets, were rooted in pure, unadulterated revelation from the Lord of the words, despite the fact that all scriptures have been abrogated and distorted with the exception of the Qur’an. Bani Israel is referenced because they were among the earlier nations to whom Allah dispatched prophets with the message of Tawhid, including prophet Isa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
Therefore, the term “founding texts” requires both specification and elaboration, as the noble prophet Isa, peace be upon him, was sent as a messenger to Bani Israel, indicating that he was instructed to amend certain laws of the Torah, though not all of it. In contrast, Muhammad’s message abrogated all previous texts. Thus, the use of the term “founding texts” should not imply that Jews are mentioned solely based on their identity or due to an eternal superiority; rather, they are acknowledged as recipients of scriptures and prophets, with some adhering to their prophets while others did not, as the Qur’an recounts numerous issues concerning Bani Israel.
Furthermore, the Jew does not occupy the core of our identity; instead, Bani Israel received revelation, with some acting upon it and others failing to do so. Thus, those who sincerely followed the prophets of Bani Israel and passed away adhering to pure monotheism were Muslims, as all previous prophets and their true followers Muslims. Read here: https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2020/10/18/one-must-call-himself-a-muslim-if-he-truly-follows-the-path-of-the-prophets-and-messengers/
And following the arrival of Prophet Isa, anyone who chose not to follow him was led astray, and their destination is the everlasting flames of hell. Subsequently, after the emergence of Prophet Muhammad, those who adhere to Prophet Isa or any other prophet are likewise misled, and their fate is to dwell in the fire for eternity. Read here:
Therefore, there is no reason for the existence of an extraordinary admiration alongside unparalleled resentment, jealousy, and fear. The core issue is that there were rightly guided Jews who adhered to the prophets, and subsequently, others embraced Islam following the arrival of Muhammad. Additionally, there are Jews who rejected both Muhammad and Isa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon both of them and all the prophets. Therefore, we hold admiration for the believers among the followers of the previous prophets and do not extend admiration to those who disbelieved in Isa or Muhammad, irrespective of their ethnicity. We harbour no jealousy towards any of them, for how could we envy those whose path leads to misguidance and ruin in this life and the hereafter? We also do not fear them, rather, our concern lies in avoiding the circumstances that led them to a state of disbelief in the final messenger while still claiming what they do not possess. Allah, The Exalted, stated:
Think not that those who rejoice in what they have done (or brought about), and love to be praised for what they have not done,- think not you that they are rescued from the torment, and for them is a painful torment. [Aal Imran. 188]
[لَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡرَحُونَ بِمَآ أَتَواْ – Think not that those who rejoice in what they have done (or brought about)]- Meaning, the rejoicing (accompanied) with insolence and boasting, thinking that they have done a favour to Allah and Allah’s Messenger. [بِمَآ أَتَواْ – what they have done (or brought about)]- Meaning, the deeds by way of which they seek to get close to Allaah as they claim.
[وَّيُحِبُّونَ أَن يُحۡمَدُواْ بِمَا لَمۡ يَفۡعَلُواْ – and love to be praised for what they have not done]- Meaning, they want people to praise them for what they have done, such as feigning righteousness to the people in order to be praised, even if they have not performed an act of righteousness- similar to what the people of the Scripture did, (who) concealed the characteristics of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and did not make it known, and then said, “Now we have overcome Muhammad when we say that he is not the Mubash’shar bihee “the Messenger whom Prophet Isa mentioned as the good tidings.
This verse [188 in Aal Imran] includes two types of people: The people of the Scripture who rejoiced in what they did by concealing the characteristics of the Prophet and not believing in him, and loved to be praised for what they have not done when they pretended to the people that if the Messenger – who is mentioned as good tidings (by Eesaa)- is sent, “We will believe in him”.
The second group are the hypocrites. This is because the hypocrites rejoice in what they do and say, “We have submitted in Islam” in the presence of Muhammad and his companions, whilet their situation is the opposite of that, and they loved to be praised for what they have not done with regards to sincerity, love for Allah and His Messenger, and obedience to Allah’s Messenger. [1]
Daniel stated: Jews returning to their land was and is a cataclysmic event. The world watched with bated breath as the ancient people of Israel walked out of the grave of Auschwitz into the redemption of the Promised Land. They waited to see what we would build. Subconsciously, they awaited the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham: ‘Through you will be blessed all the families of the Earth.’ And then we went and tried to be like everyone else. [end of quote]
Response: This section is not in need of elaboration, rather, we’ll post these links to address the issue.
Daniel stated: For the first seventy years of statehood, we had little choice but to survive. Despite levels of hostility and adversity that might have broken many fledgling states, Israel experienced miracles, both Divine intervention and human determination. Its achievements are beyond admirable by comparison to other nations facing far lesser challenges. [end of quote]
Response: Survival is an inherent human instinct. Furthermore, you initiated the conflict by seizing land and forcibly removing its legitimate owners. There have been no miracles in your journey; instead, you were supported by some of the most influential ideologues and Christian Zionist colonisers, who provided you with appropriated property. Regarding divine intervention, even the most notorious tyrants, while perpetrating their tyranny, believed that their false deities or ideologies rendered them invulnerable or would enable their oppression to persist indefinitely. Thus, this so called miracle of yours is nothing but Al-Istidraj, as Allah said:
Those who reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), We shall gradually seize them with punishment in ways they perceive not. And I respite them; certainly My Plan is strong. [Al-A’raf 182-183]
[سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم – We shall gradually seize them with punishment] – by granting them plentiful provision and respite until they think that they will neither be taken to task for their disobedience nor punished, so they increase in disbelief and transgression, and evil upon evil. And through this their punishment is increased and multiplied, so they harm themselves in ways they perceive not. This is why Allah said: [إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ -certainly My Plan is strong] [2]
[ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ – We shall gradually seize them with punishment in ways they perceive not]: Imaam Sufyaan Ath-Thawree, may Allah have mercy upon him, said that this means, ”Whenever they commit [major] sins, Allaah bestows a blessing on them and make them forgetful of seeking forgiveness. [3]
Thus, it is not unexpected that after committing acts of violence against Palestinians for over 70 years without facing consequences, the Zionists and their supporters view this as a positive divine intervention, driven by self-promotion and baseless assertions. The determination and achievements of the rebellious individuals among Bani Israel in the past are not worthy of praise, despite their closer adherence to the Torah compared to the Zionists. There is nothing commendable about the cruelty exhibited by Netanyahu and his genocidal actions, nor is there anything laudable about the earlier murderers from the previous Zionist regimes since 1948. Rational individuals do not admire the violent actions of Zionists like Netanyahu and his predecessors. Furthermore, it was the colonialists who aided the Zionists to start their campaign of terror. Read below:
Daniel stated: But now, we feel inner national schisms developing around our core identity. Simultaneously, the world is pushing us as hard as possible to become a nation through which all humanity becomes blessed. While we should not stop calling out the unfair double standards, we can and should embrace the message the world is screaming to us. It is time to make the mission statement of the nation of Israel: “Through you shall be blessed all nations of the world.” THE WORLD is moving at hyper-speed into phases like none we have ever seen. The world in 30 years is likely to be as different from our world as the Neolithic farmers are from us today. As AI-powered humanoid robots, driverless cars, and brain chips move from science fiction to reality, the possibilities of a radically different world are opening up in ways unimaginable. [end of quote]
Response: The significance of your identity or that of others is not what the creator emphasises; instead, the creator commands us with the piety that should be sought in accordance with the teachings of the final messenger. Allah, The Exalted, stated:
O mankind, We have created you from a male (Ādam) and female (Eve) (making you all of equal lineage) and We made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another (and fulfil each other’s rights). Verily, the most honourable of you with Allāh is the most pious of you (and not the noblest in lineage or most affluent) (so do not be boastful and belittle others). Indeed, Allāh is all-Knowing, all-Aware. [4]
What we keep telling you is that you act upon this verse because one day you will face your Lord and be asked if you responded to the message of the final messenger, Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Disbelief and defiance against the final prophet’s path are not praiseworthy, rather, they lead to chaos and destruction in this life and the next. Allah, The Exalted, said:
Those who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the Polytheists were not going to be parted (from their disbelief and polytheism) until there came to them clear evidence. (This being) a Messenger from Allāh, reciting pages purified (of all falsehood and containining all goodness). Within which are upright (truths contained in past) scriptures (and just laws and prescriptions). And those who were given the Scripture (and were awaiting the arrival of a Messenger in Arabia) did not become divided (regarding the Messenger and his mention in their scriptures) until after the clear evidence—(this Messenger and this Qurʾān)—had come to them (so some believed and others disbelieved). [Al-Bayyinah 1-4]
The pace at which the world is advancing will not eliminate the individuals who uphold the truth and the devoted followers of the messengers. Whether it takes 30 years or extends to the end of time, these steadfast followers will persist in fulfilling the purpose for which humanity was created: to worship Allah alone and to obey the messengers, the final one being Muhammad. No one will have a more positive influence than the noble Isa upon his return, and conversely, no one will wield a more destructive influence than Dajjaj. However, Isa will triumph alongside the true believers, while Dajjaj and his followers will face destruction. Thus, everything else, including AI and other advancements, whether beneficial or harmful, falls under the will of the Creator. Regardless of the significant changes that may occur in 30 years or even before the end of time, the people of Iman will remain steadfast and resolute by the will of Allah. Therefore, a wise individual, irrespective of the transformations in this world, should aim to meet his Lord by following the path of the final messenger and fulfilling the purpose for which he was sent to this world, which is not aligned with Zionism or any other man-made ideologies.
Daniel stated: The Jewish people have always lived for the future, and we need to continue to do so. The fractious tribes of the modern State of Israel can and should come together to ask one question: how can each of us contribute to the new mission of the State of Israel, the ancient mission of the nation of Israel: “Through you will be blessed all the nations of the earth”? Our centers of innovation create new possibilities. Our centers of Torah study focus on the call of God that spawned the theologies, philosophies, and revolutions that dominate the world to this day. By bringing these two poles together, we can forge new pathways to bring humanity into a new age of miraculous harmony, spirituality, healing, and connection. We can help shape a world that once lived only in the prophecies and dreams of our ancestors. The biblical call to be “a light unto the nations” is a practical blueprint for turning our burden into our strength. If the world won’t treat us like everyone else, then let’s prove we’re not like everyone else. Let’s use the impossible standards we face as motivation to achieve the impossible. [end of quote]
Response: Every human being aspires for a brighter future, holding onto the hope of improvement, even though the definition of a good future is shaped by following the final revelation—the Qur’an and the Sunnah—since this is the essence of existence. Furthermore, it is crucial for those living under Zionist control to unite and question whether Zionism truly reflects the teachings of prophets Musa and Isa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them. They should also ponder why figures like the Jewish scholar Abdullah Bin Salam, may Allah be pleased with him, and other Jews embraced Islam. Additionally, those ancient Jews who truly followed the ptrophets are in paradise InShaAllah, whereas the Zionists have disbelieved in the final Messenger. The sole route to blessings is the Qur’an and Sunnah, rather than relying on Zionism or abrogated and distorted Scriptures. As for your innovative efforts in worldly affairs, they should not be a reason for arrogance and self-entitlement at all cost, nor utilised to oppress Palestinians or find ways to prolong conflicts. Moreover, the Qur’an supersedes the Torah, and Allah only accepts the path laid out by the final messenger. There is no necessity for theological debates, philosophical inquiries, or revolutions based on the Torah; instead, the Torah given to noble Musa, peace be upon him, was meant to guide the Children of Israel towards righteousness, Tawhid, and dignity. Allah, The Exalted, stated:
Verily, We did send down the Taurat (Torah) [to Musa (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah’s Will, judged the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the Taurat (Torah) after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah’s Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the Kafirun (i.e. disbelievers – of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allah’s Laws). [Al-Ma’idah 44]
Daniel stated: By bringing these two poles together, we can forge new pathways to bring humanity into a new age of miraculous harmony, spirituality, healing, and connection. We can help shape a world that once lived only in the prophecies and dreams of our ancestors. The biblical call to be “a light unto the nations” is a practical blueprint for turning our burden into our strength. If the world won’t treat us like everyone else, then let’s prove we’re not like everyone else. Let’s use the impossible standards we face as motivation to achieve the impossible. [end of quote]
Response: Humanity has no need of the Zionists following the arrival of the final messenger, as there is no greater guide than the Qur’an and Sunnah for fostering harmony, healing, justice, and peaceful coexistence. Those who believe in the final messenger are not influenced by anyone else’s guidance but that of the final messenger. Only through the path of the final Messenger can one illuminate nations, as it serves as the blueprint for success and harmony. The believers do not demand that you to be anything other than what the Creator has ordained, which is to follow the final messenger. Allah stated:
O people of the Scripture! Now has come to you Our Messenger (Muhammad) explaining to you much of that which you used to hide from the Scripture and passing over (i.e. leaving out without explaining) much. Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a light (Prophet Muhammad) and a plain Book (this Quran). Wherewith Allah guides all those who seek His Good Pleasure to ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness by His Will unto light and guides them to a Straight Way (Islamic Monotheism). [Al-Ma’idah 15-16]

And to Solomon (We subjected) the wind, its morning (stride from sunrise till midnoon) was a month’s (journey), and its afternoon (stride from the midday decline of the sun to sunset) was a month’s (journey i.e. in one day he could travel two months’ journey).

Read: The Greatest King of all Time (Prophet Sulayman), The Ant, The Hoopoe, The Upright Scholar, The If’reet and The Intelligent Queen!
Avi, calm down and stop bragging! Your weapons have not attained the power that would instill fear in the hearts of those who truly believe in the final Messenger, nor can they ever achieve the might that was bestowed upon Prophet Sulayman, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Therefore, no believer fears your most deadly weapon truly, as nothing is invulnerable or invincible, and no one can match the Muslim kingdom of noble prophet Sulayman, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, until the Day of Judgment. Get rid of the following article:
In The Name of Allāh, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
It is necessary to bring together the disparager and the disparaged, the refuter and the refuted, and to seek judgment in the (presence) of the scholars. It is not permissible to pass judgement on the refuted and disparaged person in absentia:
This is one of the Shubuhaat (1) of Adnan Ar’ur, when he used to demand (or request) from Shaikh Rabee, may Allāh have mercy upon him, to seek judgement (together with him) in the (presence) of Al-Allamah Al-Uthaymin, may Allāh have mercy upon him, concerning the Mukhaalafaat and Dalaalaat (2) for which he was criticised. He used to falsely accuse the scholars – who denounced him due to the observations they made regarding his falsehoods – that they pass judgment on him in absentia, meaning before Al-Muhakamah (i.e. that in order to make a judgement against him, both him and his opponent must be present in the presence of a scholar), and according to him, this is not permissible.
Al-Allamah Rabee Al-Mad’khali, may Allāh have mercy upon him, was asked, as found in his treatise “Dar Baghi Adnan” about this Shubha (3): “What is your opinion regarding Adnan’s speech as follows: ‘Among the matters that are universally agreed upon by the nations- Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians – is that during judicial rulings and judgement, it is incumbent to hear from both parties. It maybe that he did not intend this, maybe he did not desire it, maybe it is a slip of the tongue, maybe it is a Shami expression which is different from a Saudi, maybe it is a Maghribi expression which is different from a Mashriqi. (4) When a man rejects Niyyah [i.e. intention which is a requirement in acts of worship] in Islam, then a judgment is issued without hearing the other side, (leading to accusations of) disbelief; how is (this) disbelief? Meaning, what is its ruling (i.e. the ruling on rejecting Niyyah in islam)? A disbeliever! So how can one judge, be pleased with and accept that a person has rejected Niyyah in Islam merely based on a phone call from an unknown person. Masha-Allah, masha-Allah, (is this) based on knowledge and piety; masha Allah, based on understanding?! Someone on the phone from Europe is talking about a well-known person who is a pioneer in Dawah and lives among them, so what prevented them from verifying this issue?
Shaikh Rabee, may Allāh have mercy upon him, replied:
Indeed, we are profoundly flabbergasted by this man’s hotchpotch in his speech about the scholars, his belittling of them and his self-aggrandizement in this instance. We are profoundly flabbergasted that he conflates judicial rulings with fatwas, so, at times considering their responses as fatwas and at other times as judicial decisions. This is a strange hotchpotch and an atrociously flawed argument on his part. Sadly, he has placed himself in the position of mentoring senior scholars- members of the Council of Senior Scholars- who have devoted their lives to knowledge, fatwas, and judiciary rulings. They know what is required of them when a questioner asks them questions and when they issue rulings. In any case, it can be understood from his speech (i.e. Adnan) regarding judicial rulings that it is not permissible to issue rulings on someone who is absent under any circumstances.
This speech is false. There are numerous situations where a judgment can be made on a person who is absent and it is not a condition that he should be present, nor is a judge obliged to hear from both parties. This matter is well-established and its proof is that Hind bint Utbah said to the prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, “Indeed, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man and he does not give us what suffices me and my children, can I take from his wealth?” He (i.e. the prophet) said: “Take from his wealth that which suffices you and your children”. [Al-Bukhari 5364 and Muslim 1714]
He did not say: “Where is Abu Sufyan? Where is he, bring him to me so that he hears this speech?” Allāh’s messenger, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, passed a judgement on him while he was absent. He allowed this woman – the wife of Abu Sufyah – to take from his wealth even without his consent. This is a ruling on an absent person. In the Mad’habs of Ahmad, Shafi’i, and Malik, and other than them among the scholars of the Ummah, is that in matters regarding the rights of the people and mutual dealings, it is permissible to make a judgement on the one who is absent.
Here, I reference what Al-Bukhari has stated. He said: “Chapter: Judgment on the one who is absent” with his chain of narration to Urwah, from Aisha that Hind said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, “Indeed, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man and I am in need from his wealth”, so he said: “Take what suffices you and your children in a reasonable manner”. Al-Hafidh (i.e. Ibn Hajr) said about the statement “(Judgement) on the one who is absent”, meaning, (concerning) the rights of the children of Adam, but not Allāh’s rights, based on the consensus (of the scholars that this applies) even if evidence is established against an absent person regarding theft, for instance, financial judgments that is other than the judgment of cutting the hand. Ibn Battal said: “Malik, Al-Layth, Al-Shafi’i, Abu Ubaid, and others have permitted judgments on the absent person”.
Ibn Abd al-Barr said: “the comprehensive nature of judicial rulings in lawsuits”. Judgment can be made against an absentee with regards to rights, mutual dealings, debts, and all rights, with the exception of real estate because no judgement is made about it, except if the person’s absence is prolonged and it harms his opponent. If this becomes the case, a judgement is made. This is the Mad’hab of Malik. When it is the case that it is permissible to pass a judgment on a dead person, judgement on an absent person is even more permissible. Also, in the Mad’hab of Imam Ahmad, judgement on an absent person is permissible”. The author of “Al-Mughni” reported a difference of opinion on this matter, then he (concluded that what) carries more weight is the permissibility (of passing judgement on an absent person) and he used as evidence the hadith of Aa’isha in the story of Hind, while also pointing out contradictions in Abu Hanifa’s stance.
Adnan neither knows the value of the scholars nor the value of knowledge, nor does he know the conditions of Fatwa. Despite this, he behaves arrogantly towards the scholars and makes them the most ignorant people. So, all the nations make it a condition with regards to judicial rulings and lawsuits that the judge should hear from both parties; all the nations, in Adnan’s view, are acquainted with this, Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians, while these scholars are ignorant of these matters that are known to the nations of disbelief.
Then the questioner said: May Allāh protect you. What is your view on his earlier statement where he said that perhaps it wasn’t intended that way, it could have been a slip of the tongue, or that the expression might differ between Syrian and Saudi dialects, or even between Moroccan and Eastern expressions, thus, one passes a judgement without hearing the other side in the matter of disbelief. How can that be considered disbelief, meaning, when a man rejects the Niyyah in Islam?
Shaikh Rabee- may Allāh have mercy upon him – responded: This man has elevated himself and his speech to a status unprecedented by anyone else. Scholars listen to the speech of a scholar or someone other than him, clarifies for him that it is a mistake, and then criticises. (For instance), one narrates a hadith and makes a mistake, he (another person) says: “So and so has made a mistake, so and so has misperceived, so and so makes a lot of mistakes, so and so narrates munkar hadith”. He does not summon this narrator and say: “Maybe you intended such and such; inform me of what you intended, perhaps you intended such”. (Rather), he passes judgement on his speech that it is an error. He reads a book, then finds an error in it, he authors volumes to debate this scholar regarding what he considers as mistakes, and none says that (one uses) this method mentioned by Adnan.
Al-Shafi’i engaged in discussions with Malik and Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, the companion of Abu Hanifa, regarding statements they made and rulings they issued. No one said to him: “Why did you approach Muhammad ibn al-Hasan or why did you not engage in discussion with Malik during his lifetime. Why? Why? Why?” No one says this, except the ignorant and the dull-witted who utter the likes of this speech, and put forward such objections. The Salaf used to critique people regarding their beliefs, their statements, and their actions, and they considered this as part of enjoining good and forbidding evil. They would issue fatwas based on the statements they received, and no one says they did not summon the speaker and say, “What did you intend, this or do you intended such and such”.

If a scholar – a criticiser- refutes a person who deserves to be refuted and warns against him due to his bidah, he [this refute, criticiser, scholar] is from the people of justice – those who are sincere to the religion of Islam and the Muslims, and he is not an oppressor; rather, he is a person who has fulfilled an obligation. If he keeps quiet about someone who deserves to be refuted and warned against, he is one (guilty of) betrayal. If he remains silent to the extent that he defends and shelters bidah and its people, then indeed he has destroyed himself, dragged those who listen to him into a mess, active in aiding falsehood and rejecting truth.
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Hafs Bin Humaid, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: I said to Abdullah Ibn Al- Mubarak, may Allah have mercy upon him, “How many sects has this Ummah spilt into?” He said, “The foundation of the sects are four: The shia, the haruriyyah (i.e. khawaarij), the qadariyyah and the murji’ah. The shia split into twenty-two sects, the haruriyyah split into twenty-one sects, the qadariyyah split into sixteen sects and the murji’ah split into thirteen sects. (1)
The Druze
Shaikh al-Islam Ibn Tamiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:
The Druze and the Nusayris are unbelievers by consensus of the Muslim (scholars). It is not permissible to consume their slaughtered animals or to marry their women, for indeed, they are apostates. They are not Muslims, neither are they Jews nor Christians. [Footnote a]
They do not acknowledge the obligation of the five daily prayers, the fasting during Ramadan, or pilgrimage, nor do they recognise the prohibitions established by Allah and His Messenger regarding dead meat, alcohol, and other matters. Even if they profess the two testimonies of faith alongside these beliefs, they are deemed unbelievers by the consensus of the Muslim (scholars).
The Druze are followers of Hashtakin al-Darzi, a freed slave of the ruler, who sent him to the people of the valley of “Taym Allah Ibn Thalabah” to call them to the divinity of of the ruler, whom they refer to as the All-Knowing Creator, swearing oaths by him. They are part of the Isma’iliyyah (Shittes) claiming that Muhammad Ibn Ismail abrogated the Shariah of (Prophet) Muhammad the son Abdullah. Their disbelief is greater than those of the extremists (i.e. the most extreme Shiites), as they assert the eternity of the world, deny resurrection, and reject the obligations and prohibitions of Islam.
They are associated with the Qaramitah and the Batiniyyah, whose disbelief is more severe than that of the Jews, Christians, and the polytheists of Arabia. Their ultimate affair is philosophers in the path of Aristotle and his ilk, or Magians. Their statements are based on the statements of the philosophers and the Magians. (2)
Imam Abdul Aziz Bin Baz, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:
The Druze are ones among the people who hide the most what they are upon, concealing their religion and not making it very clear to the people. There are not aligned with the Muslims, while they feign that they are not non-Muslims, (but) what is well known is that they are polytheists and worshippers of the (Fatimid) Ubaidi ruler. They are no aligned with the Muslims and what is apparent is that they are not aligned with the Muslims. What is well known to the one who knows them is that they are not Muslims and they do not adhere to Islam as their religion. They engage in acts of worship that are outside of what the Muslims are upon and they are associated with (or connected) to the well known (Fatimid) Ubaidi ruler. This is what those familiar with them have stated. However, advising them is important – advising, calling them to the path of Allah, guiding them to good and teaching them what benefits them, hoping that Allah guides them….(3) [Footnote b]
