At the end of
February, in Jakarta, a self-styled International
Conference for Islamic Scholars was held “with the
need to boost respect for Islamic principles.” We
have already indicated that the kuffar are at
present operating a dialectic, one in which they
orchestrate both opposing elements in order to
arrive at their desired conclusion. This dialectic
we have named Political Isma‘ilism, this being the
most appropriate deviation out of Islam, since it
fits the present age. The thesis is to let loose a
series of acts of terror of such dreadfulness that
in the end it drives that body accused of the
terror, both in disgust and exhaustion, to its
opposite. The antithesis is then offered to the now
guilty and shamed community. The desired solution
which emerges, claiming to be rationality after
chaos, and justice after injustice, is offered up as
Tolérance. It is preferable that we use the term in
its French orthography, since it was consciously
conceived as one of the power instruments of the
emerging atheist state following the French
Revolution. It is a significantly irrational
doctrine, while it poses as being the opposite. If
examined, it is clear that it is a power instrument
aimed at one group to subvert them to the value
structure of the opposing group. In other words, it
has a uni-directional dynamic. We mean by that, a
doctrine of tolerance orders the accused group,
“Tolerate us!” It contains in it no possibility of a
reverse process by which the group demanding
tolerance offer tolerance to the accused group. It
is vital this is understood. “You must tolerate
us-but your position is intolerable because you try
to subvert us by terror.”
It follows from this process that the desired
synthesis is in fact the abolition of the guilty
community, either by elimination of them in the
apparently just war, the War against Terror, or by a
total assimilation in which there is nothing left of
the ethos being tested by the dialectic.
The so-called War on Terror, from a materialist
point of view, is quite fascinating in as much as
one community, with the approval of all its members,
is prepared to release on its enemy the full
technological armoury at its disposal, the full
force of an international secret police, and
especially the withdrawal of its own previously
hard-won protocols of personal freedom. On the other
hand, the terrorists have only got their own bodies
which they are prepared to destroy in the arena of
their enemy, leaving behind their own community to
the disastrous results which follow the suicide.
According to the Islamic position, which is not
debatable, any Muslim who commits suicide is for the
Fire. If we turn to the application of the political
doctrine of Tolérance, we are faced with a much
graver situation. The adherence to this doctrine,
the preaching of this doctrine, the support of this
doctrine, the call of others to this doctrine, is an
active participation in the kafir programme for the
total abolition of Islam in our time. The Nazi
ideology declared its policy to be “Kirche, Küche
und Kinder” (Church, Kitchen and Children), a
peaceful “life-enhancing” programme, while the
implementation of this sweet programme immediately
demanded the extermination of the race they
considered were not committed to these values.
Tolérance stands in that same relationship to the
planned and already activated programme of the
genocide of the Muslims.
It follows from this that one cannot enter the
dialectic of the kuffar. The repudiation of
terrorism is inseparable, from an Islamic point of
view, from a repudiation of tolérance. The terrorism
of which we, the great World Ummah, are not the
perpetrators, is their problem, and we could add in
brackets, especially since it has been in part
activated by them in their continued use of agents
provocateurs. Tolérance, and in this matter our
resistance must be total, is our problem. If we do
not heed this warning, the future of every Muslim
nation is to be cast outside the circle of wealth
and trade and peace, and to be encircled in a series
of national Muslim Reservations. The Palestinian
Arab community, now almost totally cut off from
proper Islamic learning, is gravely mistaken if it
thinks the Israeli wall is similar to the Berlin
Wall, a separation between two equal enemy
societies. Rather, it is equal to the Pale which
drove the jews into the marshes of Poland to keep
them out of the civilised zone of Russia.
Let us now look in detail at the Jakarta Conference.
If there are any doubts about the gravity of the
kafir commitment to the Tolérance Doctrine, then the
Jakarta Conference stands as a disturbing proof of
how advanced and how integrated the movement is.
President Megawati Sukarnoputri, who is not noted
for her intellectual acumen, in her opening address
was in the shortest time invoking that other sister
doctrine of the kuffar, Human Rights (see the
politically important speech of the Ra’is of the
Murabitun World Da’wa Movement, Hajj Abu Bakr Rieger,
as given at the 2003 Pretoria Fiqh Conference,
available on this website). The muted grumbling
against the USA’s invasion of Iraq had none of the
strength of the French Foreign Minister’s
opposition, based as his was on issues of
international law.
Allah, glory be to Him, has said in Surat Ibrahim
(14:52):
This is a communication to be transmitted to mankind
so that they may be warned by it
and so that they will know that He is One God
and so that people of intelligence will pay heed.
The Nahdlatul
Ulama (NU) leader Hasyim Muzadi seemed to think that
the Ummah is plagued by problems, and then went on
to talk about global solutions. His speech could
equally well have been made by the Secretary-General
of the United Nations. Alarmingly, he is standing as
a candidate in the imminent Presidential Election of
Indonesia. It is perfectly clear that none of the
people concerned were fit to speak on the matter of
Islam, void as their speeches were of Qur’an, and
also because the presence and Sunna of the
Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
was utterly absent from the speakers and the content
of the deliberations.
Look at the language of this dismal cohort! They
“urged Muslims to have the courage to reform their
traditions.” We must remember that the translation
of traditions into Arabic is “ahadith”. They called
for madrasas to have “Islamic Curricula that
promoted peace, tolerance and moderation.” There is
simply no idea in any of their speeches that they
might offer the Deen of Islam to the kuffar. Instead
they are proposing that we join hands in Tolérance
with the hindus’ uncountable collection of different
religions, worshipping in an equally endless mushrik
festival of cow-adoration, prostration to monkeys,
and so on, including the not-to-be-forgotten,
currently unemployed god of smallpox, to say nothing
of the celibate, child-abusing priests of that
strange religion of homeopathic anthropophagy,
christianity.
Their final
declaration is headed “Jakarta Declaration,
Upholding Islam As Rahmatan Lil Alamin”. We would
request Indonesian Muslims to inform these so-called
‘ulema that Allah the Almighty has said in Surat al-Anbiya
(21:107-8):
We have only sent you as a mercy to all the
worlds.
Say: ‘It is revealed to me that your god is One God.
So are you Muslims?’
Transferring this
Qur’anic phrase from a Divine reference to the
Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
to the Deen of Islam, has the gravest political
consequences. There is no more devastating
condemnation of this disgraceful gathering than its
arrogant assumption that in all its declarations it
has denied the very existence of our beloved
Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
The very first clause of the Jakarta Declaration is
a clear setting-up of the cross-over from Islam to
unitary Tolérance. It calls on the Muslims to
“uphold peace, justice, freedom, moderation,
tolerance, stability, counsel, and equality as the
basic foundation of life.” This is, of course, the
doctrine of the US Constitution, which is atheist,
humanist, and under which banner they have pursued
their way from the genocide of the native American
nations, Navajo, Sioux, etc., to the enthusiastic
destruction, by Weapons of Mass Destruction,
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So it is that if they
follow these doctrines, they will be next.
In his masterwork ‘Islam in the School of Madinah’,
Shaykh Ahmad ibn al-Bashir al-Qalaawi ash-Shinqueeti
stated:
“Shaykh Abu’l-Qasim Abd al-Jalil al-Qasri has said
in his ‘Aqida: ‘You see [people] exhibiting
themselves in a haughty and extravagant fashion,
regarding people with contempt and looking down on
them. When such a person is asked, “What is the
first obligation? When does one become fully
responsible before the law? What is the proof that
the path he is on is the correct one? And what is
the corruption which a person should want to avoid?”
- he remains as silent as the grave and more
terrified than an animal caught in a trap. His himma,
which had been great, is reduced to nought and all
that seemed powerful, weighty and momentous in his
nafs is humbled. He becomes wrapped in his own
silence and timorousness. What a calamity has
befallen him! What a disaster has struck him!’
I said: ‘Would that he had scrutinised the disaster
that strikes him in this world, and had considered
how the questioning on the part of (the angels)
Munkir and Nakeer about tawhid will be in the grave
after his death; how the terrors of the next world -
from which no one will be saved but those whom Allah
has blessed with beneficial knowledge of Himself -
await each and every person; and how the good and
the bad will be separated from each other; how the
hidden aspects of ignorance regarding the roots of
the deen will be revealed; how the extravagant and
haughty will reap only regret for what they have
sown in this abode because of their turning away
from examining tawhid, by their occupying themselves
with what does not concern them; and how all grief
and sorrow will cease at this moment and will be to
no avail.’”
The third point of the Declaration is, “To accept
the individual, cultural and society’s differences
as a rahma from Allah.”
This is a deliberate denial of a fundamental
distinction and discrimination made by Allah, glory
be to Him, in His Qur’an. Indeed, one of the names
of the Qur’an is ‘The Discrimination’. This clause,
which includes the terms ‘individual’ and ‘cultural’
and ‘society’, is the language of the pseudo-science
of sociology, and the speakers at the Conference
were sociologists and academicians, not fuqaha. In
Surat at-Tawba (9:67-68), Allah, glory be to Him,
says:
The men and women of the munafiqun are as bad as one
another.
They command what is wrong and forbid what is right
and keep their fists tightly closed.
They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them.
The munafiqun are deviators.
Allah has promised the men and women
of the munafiqun and kafirun
the Fire of Hell,
remaining in it timelessly, for ever.
It will suffice them.
Allah has cursed them.
They will have everlasting punishment.
Further in the Sura He, glory be to Him, declares
(71-73):
The men and women of the muminun are friends of one
another.
They command what is right and forbid what is wrong,
and establish salat and pay zakat, and obey Allah
and His Messenger.
They are the people on whom Allah will have mercy.
Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
Allah has promised the men and women of the muminun
Gardens with rivers flowing under them,
remaining in them timelessly, for ever,
and fine dwellings in the Gardens of Eden.
And Allah’s good pleasure is even greater.
That is the great victory.
O Prophet, do jihad against the kafirun and
munafiqun
and be harsh with them.
Their shelter will be Hell.
What an evil destination!
With
the fourth clause we reach the heart of the
swamplands of ignorance: “To, once again, define the
Islamic education as foundation to uphold human
values and to support the principle of equal human
relationships for every individual, to nurture a
harmonious interfaith relationship to be upheld on
an international scale.” All Muslims must know when
they read this that they are being cheated of their
Deen. This kafir doctrine is backed up by point 5 as
follows: “To give full support in forming a
constructive dialogue as a foundation of
understanding and respect among different religious
believers.”
The correct Islamic position on this matter lies in
the following instructions and warnings in the great
Surat at-Tawba. Allah, the All-Powerful, says
(9:29-33):
Fight those of the people who were given the Book
who do not have iman in Allah and the Last Day
and who do not make haram
what Allah and His Messenger have made haram
and do not take as their deen the deen of Truth,
until they pay the jizya with their own hands
in a state of complete abasement.
The Jews say, ‘‘Uzayr is the son of Allah,’
and the Christians say, ‘The Messiah is the son of
Allah.’
That is what they say with their mouths,
copying the words of those who were kafir before.
Allah fight them! How perverted they are!
They have taken their rabbis and monks as lords
besides Allah,
and also the Messiah, son of Maryam.
Yet they were commanded to worship only one God.
There is no god but Him!
Glory be to Him above anything they associate with
Him!
They desire to extinguish Allah’s Light with their
mouths.
But Allah refuses to do other than perfect His
Light,
even though the kafirun detest it.
It is He who sent His Messenger
with guidance and the Deen of Truth
to exalt it over every other deen,
even though the mushrikun detest it.
Will the good,
noble and excellent Muslims of Indonesia kindly
inform the Nahdlatul Ulama Executive Board and their
misguided leader Hasyim Muzadi, tottering as he is
at the brink of kufr, of these protected words of
the Qur’an:
It is He who sent His Messenger
with guidance and the Deen of Truth
to exalt it over every other deen,
even though the mushrikun detest it.
As the Declaration
wanders on without guidance, it arrives at point 10,
coming in full circle back to its central kafir
thesis: “To give full support to every international
community that plans to nurture peace, security and
prosperity, and to help the growth of mutual
respect, tolerance and peaceful relationships in a
global world peace.” Again we are back in the
oxygen-free zone of the brain of the
Secretary-General of the United Nations.
It would seem to us that the vast Muslim population
which comprises our Indonesian brothers and sisters
must begin to separate itself from a false
leadership that seems helpless in the present
situation to beat a path towards the Sirat al-Mustaqim
in matters concerning the obligatory pillar of Zakat.
It is not a given Sadaqa, it is a taken Sadaqa, and
that means a governance of the Muslims by a Muslim
Amir who appoints acceptable Zakat Collectors and
who in turn takes the Zakat, in which the wealth
must be given not in paper, which is haram, but in
the Islamic Dinar and Dirham. This is the first
obligation of any serious Muslim leadership to avoid
the trap that is being laid for us. We must destroy
the Twin Towers of Terrorism and Tolérance. Allah
has ordered in Surat at-Tawba (9:103-104):
Take zakat from their wealth
to purify and cleanse them
and pray for them.
Your prayers bring relief to them.
Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
Do they not know that Allah accepts tawba from His
slaves
and acknowledges their zakat,
and that Allah is the Ever-Returning, the Most
Merciful?
In place of that endless stream of meaningless
sociology and philosophy called “Islamic Values”,
let us suggest how a serious Islamic Conference
might begin its deliberations. I quote from ‘Islam
in the School of Madinah’ by Shaykh Ahmad ibn al-Bashir
al-Qalaawi ash-Shinqueeti. Note how our noble Shaykh
refers us to a great faqih who refers us to a great
Imam of our knowledge, thus taking us back to the
source. He says:
“Al-Faakihaani has said in al-’Umda that ‘Iyyad has
said: ‘Know that the adhan is an all-encompassing
expression of ‘aqida and iman, comprising both an
intellectual affirmation and an acceptance of
transmitted knowledge: initially, it is an
affirmation of the Essence and this necessarily
implies, in turn, an affirmation of His beauty and
goodness, and also of tanzih, that is, a
disassociating of Him from the opposite (of these
two things) - and this (is achieved), by means of
pronouncing ‘Allahu akbar’ for this expression,
despite its brevity, indicates all we have
mentioned. Then the person (calling the adhan)
affirms the absolute Oneness of Allah, and rejects
the opposite of this, that is any possibility of His
being associated with another. This is the pillar of
iman and tawhid and precedes all other duties in the
Deen. Then he declares his affirmation of
Prophethood, bearing witness to his submission to
our Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him. This is a principle of great import -
after the bearing witness to His unity: it is said
after the declaration of tawhid as it is one of the
actions which is possible (rather than inevitably
necessary). The declaration of tawhid, however, is
only concerned with necessary fundamentals (with
respect to Him); there then follow the additional
principles of ‘aqida arrived at by means of the
intellect - regarding what is obligatory, what is
impossible and what is permitted of Allah ta’ala.
Then the adhan calls to the act of worship, the
salat, and makes mention of it after the affirmation
of Prophethood as knowledge of the obligatory nature
(of the salat) comes from the Prophet, may the peace
and blessing of Allah be upon him, not from the
intellect. Then the adhan calls to success (hayya
ala’l-falah), and this is the last part of the
‘aqida with respect to iman. This is then repeated
with the saying of the iqama in order to make known
that the salat is starting. This repetition also
implies a further affirmation of iman, and a
confirmation with the heart, tongue and hand at the
outset of the worship so that the person performing
the salat enters upon the act of worship fully aware
of its implications, with insight as to his own iman,
and conscious of the enormity of what he is
embarking on, of the vastness of the Real which is
the object of his worship and of the generous reward
he may expect.’”
