Future Muslim historians may well mark the Day of ʿArafah 1443 as one of the blackest and saddest days in the history of Islām. It was the day Allāh’s symbol of ʿArafah was polluted, the pulpit of Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم) defiled, the dignity of Islām trampled and the devils rejoiced. Most sadly this was achieved through the active connivance of apparently Muslim leaders and scholars. Furthermore this triumph of disbelief received reinforcement through the cowardice and apathy of the silent scholars who have sold their souls for this world. Scholars are those who should be the first to stand up in these days of Islām’s desperate plight.

The issues at hand require in depth explanation, which I cannot attend to in a mere blog post. Furthermore, at the risk of offending you, dear sensitive reader, I have been fighting a lonely battle for years, warning of the evils of the Satanic Saʿūd regime, yet you have been happy in your comfort zone. As long as you could go on Ḥajj and ʿUmrah and shop in Makkah, life carries on. You never raised a cry as Allāh’s most sacred land was ever more desecrated. You never questioned your scholars, media and organisations why they remained silent and cooperated with the Satanists. You never wrote and never spoke. Is Allāh’s Dīn and land only my responsibility?   

However, for the sake of the truly unaware I shall pen a brief overview of the implications of this day. May Allāh thereafter guide you to expand your knowledge and defend His Dīn.

A Summary of the Grief of this Day

1. The interfaith movement is Kufr. Scholars from various Sunnī schools of thought agree on this fact.
2. Israel advanced its political, economic and military hedgemony over the Arab states, by augmenting this movement with the Abraham Accords.
3. Mr ʾal-ʿĪsā is Secretary-General of the Muslim World League. He is the prime Saʿūdī face of this Kufr and treason, coupled with his efforts at serving Israel on the diplomatic front. At the very least his faith is in doubt. Many scholars have gone further and openly declared him a heretic, hypocrite and apostate.
4. Bearing in mind the background story of the Dajjāl-Prince’s ongoing war against Allāh, the symbolism of his appointment of the Zionist ʾal-ʿĪsā to lead at ʿArafah is clear. No time, place or event is too sacred. All can and will be trampled beneath his feet. He was long clear that Arabia would be secular, and a handmaiden unto Israel. Till now he was not bold enough to declare that from the pulpit of Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and at such a sacred event. Now he did…. because you, the silent ʾUmmah, allowed matters to escalate to this level.

Not Even ʾal-Ḥajjāj bin Yūsuf

I cannot pretend to have examined the biographies of every Khaṭīb at ʿArafah, but my relatively extensive reading of History would lead me to believe that before this day, the worst Khatīb would surely be ʾal-Ḥajjāj bin Yūsuf ʾath-Thaqafī. Firstly he was tyranny personified. How bad must you be for ʾAsmāʾ (رضي الله عنها), the narrator of the Ḥadīth on the tyrant of Thaqīf, to testify that that tyrant “…is you” i.e. Ḥajjāj.

To crown it all,  ʿArafah was fair game for murder. When ʿAbdullāh bin ʿUmar (رضي الله عنه) grew irritated at his lengthy sermon and shouted, “Hurry you man, the sun does not wait on you!” the tyrant had him poisoned.

Yet despite all this, we still regard him as a Muslim, a very bad Muslim, but still a Muslim. His faith has not been doubted, unlike that of Mr ʾal-ʿĪsā.

The Interfaith Movement is Kufr

Islām teaches us kindness towards our neighbours, whatever their religion. Such kindness however does not translate into accepting the Interfaith tenet that any and all religions are equally valid and acceptable paths of salvation. Even if it were merely the negation of the requirement of believing and accepting Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم), the interfaith degree of acceptance of Kufr is blatant Kufr in itself, and it is sad that this should even have to be explained.

Allāh says:

وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ

He who is desirous of a religion other than Islām will never have it accepted from him, and he will be amongst the losers in the Hereafter.

ʾĀl ʿImrān: 85

His Messenger  (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said:

مَنْ سَمِعَ بِي مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَوْ يَهُودِيٌّ أَوْ نَصْرَانِيٌّ فَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِي لَمْ يَدْخُلْ الْجَنَّةَ

He who hears about me, be he from my people, or a Jew, or a Christian, and does not believe in me will not enter Paradise.

Ahmad, from ʾAbū Mūsā ʾal-ʾAshʿarī (رضي الله عنه)

These are primary issues which already categorically render Interfaith tenets Kufr.

There are then “secondary” issues which may also be grounds for apostacy, in that they are legislatively a negation of the commands of Allāh and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم). The Satanic Saʿūdī regime was involved in the Kufr of Interfaith, long before the current Dajjāl-Prince. Thus they set up The King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue. You may read its declaration which on the surface is all about lovey-dovey toleration. However, applying your mind, knowledge and faith should make it clear that it is nothing short of apostacy of negating the legislation of Allāh and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم).

Opinion of the Sunnī Scholars

Scholars of various Sunnī schools have warned on the Kufr of Interfaith. Here are some examples:

Muftī Saʿīd Motara, Dārul ʿUlūm Azaadville:

There is no scope for interfaith gatherings and prayers in Islam. The Deen of Islam is the only way of life that is accepted by Allah subḥānahu wa taʿālā as mentioned in Surah Aa’le Imraan,

إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللّهِ الإِسْلاَمُ 

Verily the way of life accepted by Allah subḥānahu wa taʿālā  is Islam (total submission to the will of Allah subḥānahu wa taʿālā )
[A’ale Imraan, Verse 19]

In another verse Allah subḥānahu wa taʿālā  states,

وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ

Whoever seeks a Deen besides Islam, it shall never be accepted from him and he will be among the losers in the Aakhirah.[A’ale Imraan, Verse 85]

 By uniting with the Kuffar and engaging in Ibaadat we are indicating (to them) through our actions that we as Muslims are open to their way of Ibaadat and religion whereas we are aware that they are upon Kufr and falsehood. The scholars have written that being happy (by means of our approval) with Kufr is Kufr, hence placing our Imaan in jeopardy.

Jamiatul Ulama, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa:

What is ‘Inter-Faith Dialogue’? A grave misconception exists regarding this concept. The shallow-minded Muslim merely looks at the words and concludes that inter-faith dialogue is a friendly discussion of different religious groups which provides an opportunity for propagating Islam. This is a fundamental error which Shaitaan has adorned and by means of which he ensnares Muslims to initially ‘tolerate’ shirk and kufr, and ultimately to subscribe to the supreme kufr of the unity of religions which is the fundamental goal to which the Inter-Faith movement aspires.

https://jamiat.org.za/what-exactly-is-the-inter-faith-dialogue/

Majlisul Ulama South Africa:

“A One World Religion Headquarters is set to open in 2022. The headquarters will be called The Abrahamic Family House and is being built on an island in the middle eastern city of Abu Dhabi.

The headquarters is being done in collaboration with Pope Francis and Sunni Muslim leader, Sheikh Ahmen al-Tayeb, after they both signed a global peace covenant called the Document of Human Fraternity for World Peace.”

This interfaith plot is unadulterated kufr. Only murtaddeen who profess to be ‘Muslims’ will have the shaitaani temerity of being associated with this kufr movement which is fallaciously dubbed ‘Abrahamic’

…

Those who profess to be Muslims but associate themselves with the ‘one world religion’ or with the interfaith movement lose their Imaan. They become murtaddeen.

IslamQA (ʾash-Shaykh Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ ʾal-Munajjid):

We advise the Muslims in general, and people of knowledge in particular, to fear Allaah and be aware that He is always watching, to guard Islam and to protect the ‘aqeedah (belief) of the Muslims from misguidance and those who promote it and from kufr and its people, and to beware of this idea.

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/10213/ruling-on-the-call-to-unite-all-religions

ʾash-Shaykh ʿAbdul ʿAzīz bin Bāz:

This is an evil call, there is no Cooperation at all, except if what is meant by Cooperation between it is to call its people to do justice to what the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) brought, that they consider it, and accept that it does not contradict what was brought by the prophets which they attach themselves to as the Christians attach themselves to Jesus while the Jews attach themselves to Moses, and that it does not contradict all these, if they agree on this Cooperation, they should be called to Cooperation to affirm that what he brought is the truth as it is found in their Tora and Gospel.

Do you think that is what they call to???

As for the people of all religions to gather, become a single party while this, this and that be on a true religion, this is from the worst of falsehood, worst of misguidance, most Kufr of all Kufr, it is never possible for the Christians and Jews to be on the truth and guidance while they do not believe in Muhammad (peace be upon him) and do not submit to what he brought, this by the consensus of the people of truth -and there is no dispute over this- and the text is clear over this that all those who belie Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and does not affirm that he is a messenger of Allah to everybody, such a person is a Kãfir even if he were to be on the original religion of Moses and Jesus and he has not supported anything from that.

However, his rejection of Muhammad is an independent Kufr meanwhile, he has become Kāfir before that. The Jews became Kāfir initially by taking Ezra as a son of Allah and rejecting Jesus, and the Christians became Kāfir by their deviation and distortion and by claiming that Jesus is a son of Allah, that he is part of holy trinity, and that he is Allah. All these are an independent Kufr, then another Kufr came which is their lack of belief in Muhammad (peace be upon him) so many forms of Kufr therefore concentrated in them -we seek refuge with Allah- so, how do we now cooperate with this and that in unity between religions?

How do we cooperate between Kufr and Eemān (faith)?

It is not possible.

Al-Fawāidul Ilmiyyah min Durūsil Bāziyyah pp. 322-324

ʾash-Shaykh ʾAḥmad Mūsā Jibrīl:

Interfaith is a Kufr ideology that contradicts the path of our beloved, Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم). Comparing between the two is attempting to compare between apples and oranges. The orange is the Inter-Faith.

“قل لا يستوي الخبيث والطيب ولو أعجبك كثرة الخبيث‎”‎
“Say: Not equal are evils and good, even though the abundance of evil may please you…”
[Sûratul Mãidah ãyah 100]

The filth like interfaith can never be equal to tayyib (good) like Da’wah even if the abundance of the filth may dazzle you.

Abul Wafa’ bin ʿAqīl who died 513 years after Hijrah, he said:

“إذا أردت أن تعرف ما حال الإسلام من أهل زمانك فلا تنظر إلى زحامهم في أبواب الجوامع ولا ضجيجهم في الموقف ب لبيك وإنما أنظر إلى مواطءتهم أعداء الشريعة‎”‎
If you intend to know what the status of Islam is in the people of your era, do not look at their crowding at the doors of central mosques, and not at their clamor at the position of Labayk (during tawāf at hajj) rather, look at their connivance with the enemies of the Shariah.”

The Abraham Accords

Whether planned at the outset of Interfaith or a recent idea, the Abraham Accords is an offshoot of Interfaith which Israel has used as a tool to assert hegemony over the emasculated Arab states. It thus encapsulates not only religious treason against Allāh and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم), as explained above, but also glorifies betrayal of ʾal-ʾAqṣā, the Blessed Lands and the Palestinians.

You may refer to the website of Mr Daniel Haqiqatjoe for further research on this. Despite his humongous ego, lack of manners and publicly calling me a liar, I shall give credit where credit is due, and not detract from his otherwise good services to Islām.

If pressed for time, then the respected Muftī ʿAbdullāh Moola, has translated a speech by my teacher, Muftī Raḍāʾul Ḥaqq Yūsufzai on the Accords, please at least read The Abrahamic Religion: An Evil Agenda Against Islam.

Mr ʾal-ʿĪsā

This post has dealt with the issue Interfaith to some extent. There is no need to delve into the rulings of Arab scholars, declaring this man specifically as a heretic, apostate and hypocrite. The most illiterate, uneducated and uninformed Muslim should have the faith and understanding that one who not merely meets with Christians and Jews for Interfaith, but participates in the rituals of idolators, cannot lead any prayer, let alone ʿArafah.

There exists the unfortunate situation in South Africa of scholars focusing the public’s attention only on jurisprudence and deeds. Thus the layman does not comprehend the paramount importance of correct beliefs over deeds. The scholars then moan when heretical sects gain ground. I therefore must resort to pointing out the shameless public deeds of Mr ʾal-ʿĪsā. His flirting with scantily clad females is not a matter of gossiping about someone’s private slips, as we are all prone to. It is something he engages in public in, without shame. It is something even a South African should understand that this renders the man unworthy of the pulpit of ʿArafah, and his appointment is a flagrant insult to Rasūlullāh (صلى الله عليه و سلم), whom you claim to love. I shall not reproduce any images here, but those who wish to verify my accusation are welcome to check here for starters.

As if it is not enough for him to be with immodest non-Muslim females that he has “Interfaith” with, this poor excuse of a man and a “Muslim” expects our sisters to be the same and came out in support of Macron’s war against Hijāb! If you are happy to have him as your ʾImām, then you are a cuckold with no respect for your mother, sister, daughter and religion.

The appointment of this traitor to Islām and Palestine to a position he has no right to, created a storm of outrage amongst Arabs who love their religion, and Palestinians in particular, since they are most painfully aware of his choosing the enemy over them. They would remember how he was reported to have declared during an assault against Ghazzah, “I stood alongside my Jewish brothers.”

 To be fair, it might be that the Arab media are quoting this out of context. I suspect that he was referring to his visit to Auschwitz, not the Israeli assault. Nevertheless, it still tells us much about him that he cares more about the feelings of the Zionists, and cannot be bothered how his words are interpreted amongst Muslims. Let Ghazzah be assaulted without end, what do the traitors care?

News outlets such Falaṭsīn  ʿal-ʾĀn reported on the outrage of the appointment of the mutaṣahīn – wanna-be-Zionist, as they labelled him in their headline. Statements reported included:

وفي هذا السياق غرد الكاتب السعودي البارز “تركي الشلهوب”:”المتصهين محمد العيسى سيخطب بالمسلمين على صعيد عرفات.. سيُدنّس الحج!”

“The wanna-be-Zionist Muḥammad ʾal-ʿĪsā will address the Muslims on the Plains of ʿArafah…polluting Ḥajj!”

“حامد علي” كتب هو الآخر:”المتصهين محمد العيسى هو خطيب حجاج بيت الله الحرام في يوم عرفات.. وهذه هي بدايه السيطرة الصهيونية على الحج.”

“The wanna-be-Zionist Muḥammad ʾal-ʿĪsā will be the Khaṭīb for the pilgrims of Allāh’s Sacred House on the Day of ʿArafāt…this is the beginning of Zionist control over Ḥajj”

Conclusion

This post is longer than I had planned, while still being way too short to cover the issues fully. I hope however that it gives the reader some perspective. Matters are escalating at a rapid pace and the slaves of Dajjāl grow bolder everyday, while we remain complacent.

Be alert for your own faith, but also what affects the ʾUmmah. Equip yourself with knowledge and strengthen yourself, specifically with Sūrah ʾal-Kahf.

Beware of the ʿĪsās and Popstar Muftis who call to Interfaith and Israel. Call them to task when they publicly serve masters other than Allāh.

Their South African counterpart is not as bold as them as yet. I always thought that it was his Arabic that is pathetic in that instead of “ʾAllāhumma wa ʾahlik” (O Allāh, and destroy…), he for years ends his Khuṭbah, “ʾAllāhumma wahlik” (O Allāh, and you be destroyed). Now I wonder how far the aspect of Interfaith has entered his heart.

Beware of Muslim journalists and their radio stations who shamelessly advertise their parties and cake at the Saʿūdī Embassy in Pretoria, while the Satanic regime annihilates Islām and jails and tortures ʿUlamāʾ.

These are the folk who titillate your ears with speeches on Palestine, but are part of the sacrilege of what is far more holy.

We live in testing times, but like any test, the onus is on yourself to prepare.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا ، وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ ، وَأَلِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ ، وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِهِمْ ، وَانْصُرْهُمْ عَلَى عَدُوِّكَ وَعَدُوِّهِمْ ، اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ كَفَرَةَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِكَ ، وَيُكُذِّبُونَ رُسُلَكَ ، وَيُقَاتِلُونَ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ اللَّهُمَّ خَالِفْ بَيْنَ كَلِمَتِهِمَ ، وَزَلْزِلْ أَقْدَامَهُمْ ، وَأَنْزِلْ بِهِمْ بَأْسَكَ الَّذِى لاَ تَرُدُّهُ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
