Daniel Rowe’s Absurd Self-entitlement and Delusions of Grandeur Scrutinised

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

Allah, The Most High, said:

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٲمِينَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ شُہَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوِ ٱلۡوَٲلِدَيۡنِ وَٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ‌ۚ إِن يَكُنۡ غَنِيًّا أَوۡ فَقِيرً۬ا فَٱللَّهُ أَوۡلَىٰ بِہِمَا‌ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعۡدِلُواْ‌ۚ وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا

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 tactics employed by Daniel Rowe, who occasionally affirms and negates simultaneously as a deliberate linguistic strategy; utilises sarcasm, manifests delusion of grandeur, 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]

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.

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: Millions of people with even a little sense of morality in this world observe the actions of the Zionists with a level of astonishment, as the Netanyahu-led regime has 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 over seventy years of murdering 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.

The Promised Land: A Brief Examination from a Religious and Historical Perspective – Salafi Dawah Manchester

A Brief Discussion on the Attribution to the Offspring of Prophet Yaqub In Our Era

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 identified yet it should not be exploited for psychological manipulation or to foster a victim mentality. Read below:

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

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:

https://abuiyaad.com/a/justice-war-abu-bakr-advice
https://abuiyaad.com/a/slaughtering-children-holy-war/print

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 did serve 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 innocent people murdered. 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:

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 stop over seventy years of brutality, 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 behaviour is evaluated; instead, your state is assessed according to your deeds. There is no regime comparable to Netanyahu’s in its harsh treatment of the Palestinians. Thus, the challenges faced by Jews stem solely from the actions of their ideologues, demagogues, and rabble-rousers, whose behaviours 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.

Furthermore, 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 establish 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. Many 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 brutality and impunity.

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 sent 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. 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 destination is to dwell in the fire for eternity.

[9] The Three Monotheistic Religions! [Brief Observations On This Statement Uttered By Writers Who Are Ignorant About Islaam And Misguided Modernists Speaking In The Name of Islaam]

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 Most High, stated:

لَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡرَحُونَ بِمَآ أَتَواْ وَّيُحِبُّونَ أَن يُحۡمَدُواْ بِمَا لَمۡ يَفۡعَلُواْ فَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّہُم بِمَفَازَةٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ‌ۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ۬

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.

The Promised Land: A Brief Examination from a Religious and Historical Perspective

A Brief Discussion on the Attribution to the Offspring of Prophet Yaqub In Our Era

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:

وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ

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.

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:

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَٰكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَآئِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓا۟ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتْقَىٰكُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ

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:

لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ
رَسُولٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ يَتْلُوا۟ صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةً
فِيهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ
وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ

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 purpose of life. 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 prophets 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:

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَا ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ فِيهَا هُدًى وَنُورٌ يَحْكُمُ بِهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ وَٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلْأَحْبَارُ بِمَا ٱسْتُحْفِظُوا۟ مِن كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَانُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ شُهَدَآءَ فَلَا تَخْشَوُا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱخْشَوْنِ وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِى ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ

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:

يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا كُنتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَن كَثِيرٍ قَدْ جَآءَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ نُورٌ وَكِتَٰبٌ مُّبِينٌ
يَهْدِى بِهِ ٱللَّهُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضْوَٰنَهُۥ سُبُلَ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

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]

May Allah knows best.

[24] The Character Trait Most Hated to The Messenger

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

Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated:

“There was no trait more hated to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, than lying. A man would speak based on lies in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he would not be content until he knew that he had repented”. [Sahih at-Tirmidhi 1973]

Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

“Whoever does not abandon false speech and acting on it, and behaving ignorantly, Allah has no need for him abandoning his food and drink”. [Al-Bukhari 6057]

Yunus Ibn Ubayd, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

“Indeed, you see a man fasting a lot, abstaining from the forbidden matters and praying the night prayer, then he testifies to falsehood in the morning.” [Hilyah Al-Awliyaa 3/20]

Verses 263-264 Surah Al-Baqarah

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

Allah, The Most High. said:

قَوۡلٌ۬ مَّعۡرُوفٌ۬ وَمَغۡفِرَةٌ خَيۡرٌ۬ مِّن صَدَقَةٍ۬ يَتۡبَعُهَآ أَذً۬ى‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَلِيمٌ۬

Kind words and forgiving of faults are better than Sadaqah (charity) followed by injury. And Allah is Rich (Free of all wants) and He is Most-Forbearing]. [Al-Baqarah. 263]

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

Allah informed us that kind speech- which all hearts recognise and do not reject; and forgiveness- to pardon the one who treated you badly, are better than charity that is followed by harm. Kind speech is good treatment and charity through speech; and forgiveness is good treatment by way of refraining from retaliation and holding someone responsible. These are two types of good treatments.

As for charity followed by harm, it is a good deed that is followed by its nullifier, and there is no doubt that two good deeds are better than a good dead that is nullified.

This also includes the forgiveness shown by the person when he encounters some harm and harsh behaviour from the one who he could not fulfil his request; therefore, showing forgiveness to him would be better than giving him charity and then harming him. Speaking kindly to him, refraining (from retaliation) and forgiving him is better for you than giving him charity and then harming him.

Then Allah ended this verse with the mention of two of His Attributes which are suitable for mention in this matter, saying:

وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَلِيمٌ۬

And He is Most-Forbearing.

Indeed, Allah is not in need of you and nothing (from the benefits of) your charity reaches him, rather all the abundant good in this charity and its benefits returns to you and not to Allah. Therefore, how can one flaunt through his spending and causes harm while Allah is completely not in need of it and everything else besides it. In addition to this, Allah is forbearing because He does not hasten punishment against the one who flaunts. Allah is completely free from need in every way and He is the One described as One with forbearance, the one who overlooks and forgives, alongside the fact that He bestows His vast favours and ample gifts; then how can one of you harm another person by flaunting and offending, even though what you give is little, and you are weak and poor (in the sight of Allah).

Then Allah said:

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُبۡطِلُواْ صَدَقَـٰتِكُم بِٱلۡمَنِّ وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ كَٱلَّذِى يُنفِقُ مَالَهُ ۥ رِئَآءَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِ‌ۖ فَمَثَلُهُ ۥ كَمَثَلِ صَفۡوَانٍ عَلَيۡهِ تُرَابٌ۬ فَأَصَابَهُ ۥ وَابِلٌ۬ فَتَرَڪَهُ ۥ صَلۡدً۬ا‌ۖ لَّا يَقۡدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَىۡءٍ۬ مِّمَّا ڪَسَبُواْ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ

O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men, and he does not believe in Allah, nor in the Last Day. His likeness is the likeness of a smooth rock on which is a little dust; on it falls heavy rain which leaves it bare. They are not able to do anything with what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people. [Al-Baqarah 264]

This spender, whose spending has been nullified, is likened to a Safwaan – a rock with a smooth, flat, and slippery surface and with dust on it. Then heavy rain falls on it, washing away the dust and leaving it bare, devoid of any vegetation or growth. This is one of the finest and most profound parables because it draws a parallel between the heart of such a spender, who flaunts and his spending is devoid of belief in Allah and the Last Day, to the rock itself, symbolising hardness, rigidity, and lack of benefit. It demonstrates the impact of charity represented by the fine dust on the rock, and the heavy rain that washes it away, mirroring the nullification and removal of the spender’s charity. Consequently, the spender is unable to reap any rewards from his charity, as it has been nullified and removed.

Another perspective on this is that (even though) someone spends for something other than the sake of Allah, it may seem like they have performed a deed that will be rewarded. So, it seems as if it is made to grow like the grain that is sown in fertile soil and it grows seven ears, and each era has a hundred grains. However, hidden behind this spending there is something that prevents it from gaining anything, just like a rock hidden beneath the soil that stops seeds from sprouting and growing.

An Excerpt from Tareeq Al-Hijratayn 452-454

The danger of selective punishment

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

Aa’isha, may Allah be pleased with her, reported that the Quraish had been anxious about the Makhzumi woman who had committed theft, and said, “Who will speak to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, about her?” They said, “Who dare it, but Usamah, the loved one of Allah’s Messenger?” So Usamah spoke to him. Thereupon Allah’s Messenger said, “Do you intercede regarding one of the punishments prescribed by Allah?” He then stood up and addressed (people) saying, “O people! Those who have gone before you were destroyed, because if any one of high status committed theft amongst them, they spared him; and if anyone of low status committed theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment upon him. By Allah, if Fatima, daughter of Muhammad, were to steal, I would have her hand cut of”. [1]

“Do you intercede regarding one of the punishments prescribed by Allah?” Meaning, it is not permissible to intercede regarding the divine prescribed punishments.

“Those who have gone before you were destroyed because if any one of high status committed theft amongst them, they spared him; and if anyone of low status committed theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment upon him”.

Meaning, destroyed through punishment due to their sins. They were destroyed due to this matter because they said, “This is a person of high status and it is not possible to cut his hand”. When a person of high status amongst them stole, they let him off, (but) when a person of low status stole, they established the punishment on him, thus the implementation of Allah’s prescribed punishments was carried out based on their desires. In this hadith is proof to show that the nations before us committed theft, and that there was much theft in their midst including the wealthy, the poor, the one of high status and the one of low status.

The Messenger then made an oath – even though he is the righteous and truthful one without making an oath – that “By Allah, if Fatima, daughter of Muhammad, were to steal, I would have her hand cut of”.

O Allah! Send Your Salutations and blessings upon him (i.e. the prophet). This is how justice should be and the manner in which Allah’s rulings are to be applied, and not through desires. He made an oath that if Fatimah – who was of a higher status than that Makhzumi woman, both in nobility and lineage, because she is the leader of the women of paradise, the daughter of Muhammad – stole, he would cut her hand. [2]

Imaam An-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated that Imam Muslim, may Allah have mercy upon him, mentioned narrations in the chapter regarding the forbiddance of interceding in the divine ordained punishments and that this was the cause of the destruction of the Children of Israel. The scholars unanimously agreed that – due to these narrations – interceding in the divine ordained punishments – after the affair has reached the leader – is prohibited. As for before it reaches the leader, most scholars have permitted intercession if the one being interceded for is not an evil person and harmful to the people. As for the sins (or acts of disobedience) for which there are no prescribed punishments, then intercession regarding them is permissible whether the affair has reached the leader or not. Intercession in these affairs is desirable if the one being interceded for is not a harmful person and so on. [3]

[23] The Character Trait Most Hated to The Messenger

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

Allah, The Most High, said:

وَإِذۡ أَخَذۡنَا مِنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِيثَـٰقَهُمۡ وَمِنكَ وَمِن نُّوحٍ۬ وَإِبۡرَٲهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ‌ۖ وَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُم مِّيثَـٰقًا غَلِيظً۬ا
لِّيَسۡـَٔلَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ عَن صِدۡقِهِمۡ‌ۚ وَأَعَدَّ لِلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمً۬ا

And (remember) when We took from the Prophets their covenant, and from you (O Muhammad ), and from Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), and ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). We took from them a strong covenant. That He may ask the truthful about their truth. [Al-Ahzaab. 7-8]

لِّيَسۡـَٔلَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ عَن صِدۡقِهِمۡ‌ۚ

That He may ask the truthful about their truth.

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

When it is the case that the truthful ones will be brought to account regarding their truthfulness, then what would one think about the liars? [Bada’i at-Tafsir Al-Jami Limaa Fassarahu Al-Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim 2/327]

Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated:

“There was no trait more hated to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, than lying. A man would speak based on lies in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he would not be content until he knew that he had repented”. [Sahih Tirmidhi 1973]

[22] The Character Trait Most Hated By The Messenger

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

Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated:

“There was no trait more hated to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, than lying. A man would speak based on lies in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he would not be content until he knew that he had repented”. [Sahih Tirmidhi 1973]

Al-Allamah Rabee bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Through him [Muhammad – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him], Allah removed us from the darkness of Shirk, indecency, Bidah, evil deeds and bad manners – lying, deceit, quackery, trickery, etc. And He (purified us) with pure (Islamic) monotheism and strong, sincere Iman. He nurtured us upon truthfulness, took the oath of allegiance from us that we speak the truth wherever we may be, and warned us against lies and evil deeds.

And from the recompense for a liar is that which has been reported from the noble Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him- the person of high moral character – who said: “I saw (in a dream) – two men came to me.” Then the Prophet said, “They said, ‘The person whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies, and the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread (that lie) all over the world. So, he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection.'” [Al-Bukhari 6096]

How numerous are those who tell lies today against the carriers of Salafiyyah and its callers! They hinder men from the path of Allah through these lies to aid falsehood, spurious (beliefs, stances, ideas, views, etc.), bidah, (things) that are destructive to the sound creed, methodology and virtuous manners. [An Excerpt from ‘Al-Awaasim Mimmaa Fee Kutub Sayyid Qutb Minal-Qawaasim: page 45]

[21] The Character Trait Most Hated By The Messenger

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

Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated:

“There was no trait more hated to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, than lying. A man would speak based on lies in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he would not be content until he knew that he had repented.” [Sahih Tirmidhi 1973]

Samura bin Jundub, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

“I saw (in a dream), two men came to me.” Then the Prophet narrated the story (saying), “They said, ‘The person, the one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies and the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection.”‘[Al-Bukhari 6069]

Brief Scrutiny of a Narrative and a Prediction by Rabbi Stewart Weiss

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

Allah – The Most High – said:

وَلَا تَلْبِسُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

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

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

Allah forbade us from mixing truth with falsehood, thus it leads to the concealment of the truth. This mixing occurs when the two are combined in such a way that one becomes indistinguishable from the other. It is a form of forgery and deceit, where what appears to be true is actually the opposite in reality. Similarly, when truth is intertwined with falsehood, the perpetrator presents falsehood in the guise of truth and communicates with a statement that carries dual meanings – one that is accurate and another that is false. Thus, the listener is deceived into believing that the speaker intends the genuine meaning, while in reality, the speaker intends the corrupt interpretation. [1]

Allah said:

يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا كُنتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَن كَثِيرٍ قَدْ جَآءَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ نُورٌ وَكِتَٰبٌ مُّبِينٌ
يَهْدِى بِهِ ٱللَّهُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضْوَٰنَهُۥ سُبُلَ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

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]

The aim of this short article is not to deny any group’s right to exist within the human race, nor to support the oppression of any individual. Instead, it serves as a religious examination aimed at clarifying the exaggerations of a Rabbi who, in our view, seeks to use abrogated texts for political purposes.

Furthermore, it is important to recognise that not all individuals who identify as Jewish endorse or support the actions of Netanyahu’s regime, who have been perpetrating violence and oppression against Palestinians—actions that many have described as genocidal. Similarly, we reject the actions of any group or individual identifying as Muslim—whether in Palestine, the UK, or elsewhere—that harms non-combatants, regardless of the victims’ religious backgrounds. Also, we do not support vigilantism or anti-Semitism in any form. Must read clarifications provided at the end of this article. [Refer “Footnote a” at the end of this article]

In an article written by Rabbi Stewart Weiss for the Jerusalem Post, entitled “World War III has begun: A war on truth, freedom, and justice”, he began by stating: “While this world war revolves around the acquisition of land and partisan belief systems, it is also a War on Freedom, a War on Justice, and a War on Truth”. [End of quote]

Let’s remind Stewart that he bears the responsibility for his illegal partisanship, even as he attempts to justify it by suggesting that others are similarly biased in their beliefs. It’s important to recognise that both humans and Jinn have been given the freedom to choose between guidance and misguidance, and there is no compulsion in religion; however, the only belief system that Allah accepts is the final revelation—the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Allah said:

وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ ٱلْإِسْلَٰمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers]. [Aal Imran 85]

Therefore, those who submit are guided, while those who reject it, like Stewart, have not yet responded to the command of their Lord. Furthermore, it’s well known that the way Stewart’s people acquire land cannot be described as anything else but blatant oppression, as no reasonable individual would endorse the actions of settlers who illegally take land on a daily basis.

When it comes to the war for freedom that Stewart refers to, it’s important to realise that true freedom -first and foremost – is found in surrendering to the will of the Creator, worshipping Him alone and follow his final Messenger, Muhammad- peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, rather than succumbing to our own desires. Allah said:

أَفَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ وَأَضَلَّهُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ وَخَتَمَ عَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِۦ وَقَلْبِهِۦ وَجَعَلَ عَلَىٰ بَصَرِهِۦ غِشَٰوَةً فَمَن يَهْدِيهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ٱللَّهِ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Have you seen him who takes his own lust (vain desires) as his ilah (god), and Allah knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart, and put a cover on his sight. Who then will guide him after Allah? Will you not then remember? [Al-Jathiyah 23]

Al-Allamah Salih Aala Ash-Shaikh, may Allah preserve him, stated:

Absolute and unlimited freedom for a person to do anything he wants – without being held accountable – does not exist in any place on Earth; rather, freedoms exist where they are found, but they have limits, and people are told that anything beyond that limit is forbidden and is not freedom. This makes you understand that the word freedom is not present anywhere on the earth but in a limited sense. As for absolute freedom in everything, including dealings with wealth, politics, court judgements, one’s actions, the sanctity of life, and dealing with one’s children, this does not exist without restriction anywhere on the earth. Rather, freedom varies by country, with some countries having much less freedom than others. As a result, the word freedom, which they argue is part of human rights, is not unrestricted in their eyes. Thus, when this is the case, and they impose constraints on freedom based on the opinions of humans, we say: “Indeed, this principle shows that limiting freedom renders the word unacceptable to all humans”. If the word freedom could be accepted (based on individual interpretations), you should grant a person the freedom to do as they please, then in that case, you would be promoting absolute freedom. However, if you limit a person’s freedom through man-made regulations while also discreetly seizing control of their wealth and abilities, then this freedom is not absolute. As a result, the basis of freedom on which one advocate human rights must be viewed from the perspective that absolute freedom does not exist. Therefore, it must be limited, which means that a person is not entirely free to behave in any location on the earth in any way they wish; rather, this freedom has boundaries that they explain and differentiate, and as a result, one discovers what is known as protocols and etiquettes. There are measures taken to deal with those who disregard the rules governing formal ceremonies and to bar anyone from entering any location while wearing any kind of clothing. Additionally, there is something that is equivalent to a lack of freedom everywhere in terms of one’s presence and speech. This is because they saw that it is not suitable to grant someone complete freedom since sometimes that freedom conflicts with what is desired and other times it conflicts with one’s relationships and other people’s rights. As a result, the notion of total freedom is negated.

When a human being wishes to grant another person rights, he will not be free of desires because the person who codifies laws, whatever they may be, will include their desires in them. [Refer to “Footnote b” at the end of this article]

Similarly, the pursuit of truth and justice can only be achieved by adhering to the final revelation, rather than relying on subjective opinions and personal desires. Shaikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Even though there is something in the paths of analogical reasoning and reflection that will lead to knowledge, however sometimes it cannot give a detailed explanation in a dispute between the people of the earth due to the minute details and ambiguities, and at other times due to the fact the people differ when prioritising necessities. Therefore, due to this Allah [The Most High] commanded us to return to the revelation in times of dispute. Allah [The Most High] said:

كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً۬ وَٲحِدَةً۬ فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فِيمَا ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ‌ۚ

Mankind was one community (i.e. upon Tawheed and Allah’s Shari’ah) and Allah sent Prophets with glad tidings and warnings, and with them, He sent the Scripture in truth to judge between people in matters wherein they differed]. [Al-Baqarah. 213] [2]

Stewart stated: “Let me begin by saying, unequivocally, that I am not an alarmist by nature. In fact, I am a confirmed optimist, especially when it comes to Israel and the Jewish people”. [End of quote]

Indeed, rejecting the final Messenger is even more detrimental than being an alarmist. We remind him that Allah said:

يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا كُنتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَن كَثِيرٍ قَدْ جَآءَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ نُورٌ وَكِتَٰبٌ مُّبِينٌ
يَهْدِى بِهِ ٱللَّهُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضْوَٰنَهُۥ سُبُلَ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

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]

Stewart stated: “We have a mandate from the Almighty that we are an eternal nation that can never be expunged; we have gone head to head against the great empires of history and watched them fade into oblivion while we survive, against all odds. And, as far as our presence in Israel goes, despite having twice been exiled from our land, we believe that this time we are here to stay and will not be expelled again”. [End of quote]

Indeed, it is important to recognise that witnessing the downfall of great empires throughout history and surviving is not unique to any people. Many nations from the past still have their descendants present today. However, Bani Israel were among those favoured when they acted righteously, and they also experienced Allah’s severe punishment when they disobeyed their Prophets, peace be upon them. Allah said:

وَقَضَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسۡرَٲٓءِيلَ فِى ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ لَتُفۡسِدُنَّ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَّتَيۡنِ وَلَتَعۡلُنَّ عُلُوًّ۬ا ڪَبِيرً۬ا

And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture, that indeed you would do mischief on the earth twice and you will become tyrants and extremely arrogant! [Al-Israa. Ayah 4]- Meaning, “We have declared, made a covenant with them and told them in their book that corruption will certainly occur from them on earth twice through committing sins, showing ingratitude to Allah for His Blessings, exalting themselves on earth and being arrogant therein; and that when one of these two (occasions) come to pass, Allah will give power to their enemies and take revenge on them, and this is an admonition and warning to them so that they may return to obedience and take heed”. [a]

فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ أُولَٮٰهُمَا بَعَثۡنَا عَلَيۡڪُمۡ عِبَادً۬ا لَّنَآ أُوْلِى بَأۡسٍ۬ شَدِيدٍ۬ فَجَاسُواْ خِلَـٰلَ ٱلدِّيَارِ‌ۚ وَكَانَ وَعۡدً۬ا مَّفۡعُولاً۬

So, when the promise came for the first of the two, We sent against you slaves of Ours given to terrible warfare. They entered the very innermost parts of your homes. And it was a promise (completely) fulfilled. [Al-Israa. Ayah 5] – Meaning, the first of the two occasions during which they become corrupt; if such corruption occurred among them, We sent on you – by way of our all-encompassing divine will and decree- recompense (punishment) at the hands of those people with courage, large numbers, and armed, so, Allah gave them victory over you. They killed you, took your children away, plundered your wealth, invaded and destroyed your homes, entered the Sacred Masjid (Baytul Maqdis), and violated it. It must happen due to a reason from themselves. The Qur’an commentators differed regarding the identity of these people who were sent to overpower them, but they agreed that they were unbelievers. Either they were from the people of Iraq, the Arabian Peninsula, or elsewhere, whom Allah gave (the strength) to overpower the Children of Israel when their sins became rife, they abandoned much of their Shariah, and transgressed in the land. [b]

ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَا لَكُمُ ٱلۡڪَرَّةَ عَلَيۡہِمۡ وَأَمۡدَدۡنَـٰكُم بِأَمۡوَٲلٍ۬ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ أَڪۡثَرَ نَفِيرًا

Then We gave you once again, a return of victory over them. And We helped you with wealth and children and made you more numerous in manpower. [Al-Israa. Ayah 6] – Meaning, (gave you victory) against those who overpowered you, so you expelled them from your land; increased your sustenance and number, and gave you strength over them because of your righteous deeds and submission to Allah. [c]

إِنۡ أَحۡسَنتُمۡ أَحۡسَنتُمۡ لِأَنفُسِكُمۡ‌ۖ وَإِنۡ أَسَأۡتُمۡ فَلَهَا‌ۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ لِيَسُـۥۤـُٔواْ وُجُوهَڪُمۡ وَلِيَدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدَ ڪَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ۬ وَلِيُتَبِّرُواْ مَا عَلَوۡاْ تَتۡبِيرًا

(And We said): ‘If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil, then it is (to your own selves).’ Then when the later promise came to pass (We enabled your enemies) to put sorrow on your faces (by conquering and enslaving you) and to enter the Mosque (of Jerusalem), as they had entered it the first time, and to destroy everything they came upon with utter destruction. [Al-Israa. Ayah 7] [d]

“If you do good, you do good for your own selves” because the benefit will return to you, even in this world [before the hereafter] as you witnessed when he aided you against your enemies. “And if you do evil, then it is [to your ownselves]”, meaning, the harm will return upon yourselves, as Allāh showed you by empowering the enemies [against you]. [e]

“Then when the later promise came to pass”- meaning, the next time you spread corruption on earth, we make your enemies overpower you. “to put sorrow on your faces (by conquering and enslaving you)”- Meaning, given victory over you, capture you, and enter the Sacred Masjid as they entered it the first time, and what is meant by the Mosque is Baytul Maqdis. “and to destroy everything they came upon with utter destruction”- Meaning, destroy your homes, Masjids and crops. [f]

عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يَرۡحَمَكُمۡ‌ۚ وَإِنۡ عُدتُّمۡ عُدۡنَا‌ۘ وَجَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا

(Thereafter Allāh said): ‘Perhaps your Lord may show mercy to you (if you repent), but if you return (to your sinful ways), then We shall return (to punishment). And we have made Hell an enclosure for the disbelievers. [Al-Israa. Ayah 8] [g]

Within these verses (Al-Israa 7-8) is a warning to this Ummah (of Muhammad) against committing acts of disobedience lest what afflicted the Children of Israel afflict them as well. The Sunnah (way, rule) of Allāh is one, it does not change or become altered. Whoever looks [and reflects] upon the empowerment of the disbelievers and oppressors over the Muslims will come to know that this was due to their sins, as a punishment to them. [And also to make them realise] that if they enact and establish the Book of Allāh and the Sunnah of His Messenger, He will grant them firm authority in the land and aid them against their enemies. [h] [End of quote]

Hence, Stewart is notified that they have not been obligated anything other than to adhere to the path of the final Messenger Muhammad and heed his teachings. This obligation applies to them, as well as the rest of humanity and Jinn. However, if they choose to disregard this obligation, the Messenger’s sole responsibility is to convey the message. Moreover, this does not negate the rights they are entitled to through fair dealings, despite the fact that some of them refuse to condemn the atrocities committed by Netanyahu’s Zionist military.

Nevertheless, it is important to recognise that while Netanyahu and his Zionists gang are well known as oppressive figures in our current era, primarily due to their treatment of the Palestinians, it is also important to unequivocally condemn any Muslim, whether members of Hamas or other than them, that deliberately target non-combatants and unarmed civilians. To gain a deeper understanding of this complex issue, I suggest delving into the article written by Shaikh Abu Iyad titled: [Just Rules of Fighting in the Sharīʿah of Islām Compared to Genocidal, Ethnic-Cleansing, Tribal-Vengeance Doctrines and Excesses of Trojan-Horse Muslim Extremists:https://www.abuiyaad.com/a/nuscluvdq ]

Stewart Weiss stated: “Having said that, I fear that the road ahead is a treacherous one, and the fight for survival will test us to the limit. In fact, I believe that we have already entered a Third World War. But, like old age and credit card debt, it creeps up on you in increments, barely noticeable, until suddenly you are overwhelmed and shocked by it. You may deny it, pooh-pooh it, or close your mind to it, but face the facts: This is war. A global war that extends far beyond the Middle East, though that is its epicenter. Like most wars – World War II is a perfect example – it is fought on two fronts. The first arena of combat is the physical one, whereby nations seek to overwhelm their neighbors and swallow their land. Hitler whetted his appetite with the Sudetenland, and then went on to conquer most of Europe, even as his Japanese allies feasted on the nations of the Pacific. At the same time, an ideological battle is also being waged. The Nazis sought to impose their vision of a supremacist, all-powerful Third Reich upon the entire world, fashioning a brutal system that would create a hierarchy of rulers and subjects, comprising super-human, human, and sub-human divisions, with Germany at the top of the pyramid and Jews at the bottom. The fuhrer would displace God in order to determine what was right, what was moral, and what was justified. This helps to explain Hitler’s obsession with wiping out the Jews, for the Jews, as God’s chosen people, represent the primacy of God on Earth and thereby threatened the Nazi’s plan to create a new world order. As long as the Jews existed, that plan would be frustrated”. [End of quote]

Indeed, the struggle for survival is an inherent human drive, regardless of the challenges that may arise or the trials one faces, irrespective of Stewart’s views on the potential threat of a third world war. Even if more conflicts occur, and no matter how subtly it affects individuals, the world will not come to an end until all the major signs of the hour – mentioned by the final messenger – occur. At that time Muslims, Jews, and Christians will be present, as clearly demonstrated in various authentic narrations concerning the events of the end times, including battles, the return of Isa, and other major incidents. Thus, the endurance of the Jews until that time is not exclusive to them; many other nations, including Muslims, will also be present. A billion nuclear weapons cannot annihilate the world, nor can anyone extinguish the legacy of the Ummah of Muhammad. He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

Allah brought together the ends of the world near one another for my sake and I have seen its eastern and western ends. The dominion of my Ummah would reach those ends which have been brought close to me and I have been granted the red and the white treasure. I begged my Lord for my Ummah that it should not be destroyed because of famine, nor be dominated by an enemy who is not amongst them to take their lives and destroy them root and branch, so my Lord said: “O Muhammad! Whenever I make a decision, there is none to change it. I grant you for your Ummah that it would not be destroyed by famine and it would not be dominated by an enemy who would not be from them and would take their lives and destroy them root and branch even if all the people from the different parts of the world join hands together (for this purpose), but it would be from amongst them -your Ummah, that some people would kill the others or imprison the others’. [3]

The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, also said:

“There shall not cease to be a group from my ummah, aided, they are not harmed by those who forsake them until the hour is established”. [4]

Therefore, Stewart is informed that his forecast of a worldwide conflict where countries aim to overpower neighbouring nations and seize their territories, resembling Hitler’s conquest of Europe starting with the Sudetenland, holds no significance for the Ummah of Muhammad. On the contrary, the Ummah of Muhammad firmly believe that no matter how formidable the adversaries may be, they will never be able to subjugate the entire Ummah or seize all their territories. And regarding the ongoing ideological battle, as mentioned by Stewart, no one engages in a more intense and immoral ideological battle than Netanyahu.

Furthermore, while it is justified for Stewart to discuss the Nazis and the inhumane treatment they inflicted upon the Jews, we cannot ignore the similar mistreatment suffered by the Palestinians at the hands of the Zionists for over 70 years. They have their lands seized by settlers among whom believe themselves to be superior and entitled to Palestinian properties.

The Palestinians of Gaza – just two years ago – were subjected to starvation, deprivation of electricity and fuel, all in the name of retaliation and self-defence. Therefore, regardless of the Fuhrer’s beliefs, as stated by Stewart, the process of discerning between right and wrong, justified or unjustified, moral or immoral, bears a striking resemblance to the approach taken by Netanyahu towards the Palestinians and many of his predecessors for over seven decades. This ongoing inhumane treatment of the Palestinians is blatantly obvious, as clear as daylight, and the numerous atrocities they have faced over the last seven decades are well-known, including:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Zionist massacres did not stop after the Nakba of 1948, but rather their frequency, intensity, and brutality increased in light of the use of more lethal and destructive weapons. Among the most prominent of these massacres was:

The Sharafat Massacre, which took place in February 1951, in which 11 Palestinians were massacred, and the rest of the village’s people were displaced.

The Bethlehem Massacre took place in January 1952, in which 10 Palestinians were massacred.

The Qibya Massacre took place on October 14, 1953, in the village of Qibya, east of Jerusalem, during which (67) Palestinians were massacred, most of whom were women and children, and during which 56 homes were destroyed.

The Qalqilya Massacre took place on October 10, 1956, when the occupation forces attacked citizens in the city of Qalqilya in the West Bank, during which about seventy citizens were massacred.

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

In 1970, Zionist aircraft struck Bahr al-Baqar Primary School and Abu Zaabal factories, killing more than 150 Egyptian students and workers.

In 1980, the extremist Jewish organization Kach attempted to blow up Al-Aqsa Mosque, and a shipment of explosives weighing 120 kg was discovered.

The Sabra and Shatila massacre took place in September 1982. This massacre lasted three days, and its direct perpetrators were members of the Lebanese Phalange forces allied with the Zionists led by Ariel Sharon. The Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre took place on February 25, 1994, when a Zionist named “Barog Goldstein” stormed the Ibrahimi Mosque in the city of Hebron, and fired bullets and bombs at the worshipers. This massacre resulted in the massacre of 29 Palestinians. The Qana Massacre took place on April 18, 1995. [5]

And over the past two years, we have all witnessed the heinous acts carried out by Netanyahu’s military. However, this in no way means that the murders committed by Muslim individuals and groups are not condemned, rather, they are condemned. Shaikh Abu Iyaad, may Allah preserve him, stated:

Upon this, to answer the eternally unanswered question of Piers Morgan, “Do you condemn Hamas?”, we condemn everyone who opposes the Divine Legislation by killing innocent civilians, including non-combatant men, the elderly, women, children, priests, monks and the likes, no matter who they are, Muslim or non-Muslim, whether ISIS, al-Qaeda, Hamas, Boko Haram or Benjamin Mileikowsky, the IDF, Settlers and their likes. https://abuiyaad.com/a/amalekite-genocide-doctrine-gaza

[20] The Character Trait Most Hated By The Messenger

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

Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated:

“There was no trait more hated to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, than lying. A man would speak based on lies in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he would not be content until he knew that he had repented.” [Sahih Tirmidhi 1973]

Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated:

The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Whoever does not give up false statements (i.e. telling lies), and evil deeds, and speaking bad words to others, Allah is not in need of his (fasting) leaving his food and drink.” [al-Bukhari 6057]

Verse 75 Surah Aal Imran

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

Allah, The Most High, said:

وَمِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ مَنۡ إِن تَأۡمَنۡهُ بِقِنطَارٍ۬ يُؤَدِّهِۦۤ إِلَيۡكَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ إِن تَأۡمَنۡهُ بِدِينَارٍ۬ لَّا يُؤَدِّهِۦۤ إِلَيۡكَ إِلَّا مَا دُمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ قَآٮِٕمً۬ا‌ۗ ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ لَيۡسَ عَلَيۡنَا فِى ٱلۡأُمِّيِّـۧنَ سَبِيلٌ۬ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ

Among the people of the Scripture is he who, if entrusted with a Cantar [a great amount of wealth, etc.], will readily pay it back; and among them there is he who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless you constantly stand demanding, because they say: ‘’There is no blame on us to betray and take the properties of the illiterates (Arabs).” But they tell a lie against Allah while they know it. [Aal Imran. 75]

Imam As-Sadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

They made corrupt claims and held repulsive views, considered themselves to be possessors of great status and that the illiterate Arabs were extremely degraded; therefore, the rights of the illiterate Arabs could be violated.

So, through these corrupt claims and repulsive views, they ate haram and considered it lawful by way of creed. Likewise, they lied against Allah because the scholar who declares things lawful or unlawful is considered- by the people- as one transmitting Allah’s Judgement and not from himself. Allah said:

وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُون

But they tell a lie against Allah while they know it]. This is one of the greatest sins-speaking about Allaah without knowledge.
