The tussle and confrontation between Islam and Kufr are not new accretions which could be described as being consequences of Bush’s so-called ‘war on terror’. The ‘Islamophobia’ which is given prominence nowadays is old hat. It existed from the very initiation of Rasulullah’s proclamation of Tauheed.
The Mushrikeen of Makkah had left no stone unturned in their mission to efface the nascent Flame of Tauheed which Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had begun propagating. They would sit on the outskirts of Makkah, waylaying and intercepting travellers. They would din the ears of visitors with ‘Islamophobia’ in the attempt to poison their minds against Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Deen of Islam. All sorts of accusations and slander were levelled against Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in the plot to prevent people from even listening to the Da’wat of the Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The ‘Islamophobia’ which the mushrikeen churned up constrained travellers to plug their ears for fear of falling under the ‘obnoxious magical spell’ which the mushrikeen attributed to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
The ‘Islamophobia’ disseminated by the kuffaar and mushrikeen was not dispelled by means of joint-propagation programs – by sitting on the same stage as the Mushrikeen and ingesting and digesting the kufr and shirk they preached. The ‘Islamophobia’ was dispelled by the proclamation of the unadulterated Haqq independently from the platforms chosen and adopted by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
The ‘Islamophobia’ cult has existed throughout the history of Islam. In every era the kuffaar propagandists presented it in different forms in their plots to extinguish Islam. But Allah Ta’ala gives the assurance:
“They (the kuffaar) conspire to extinguish the Noor of Allah while Allah will complete (and perfect) His Noor (Deen) even though the kaafiroon detest it.” Qur’aan
The Christian Church and their kings had launched the series of Crusade wars against the Muslims on the basis of ‘Islamophobia’. But, throughout the centuries of confrontation with the kuffaar, there never was inter-faith seminars and joint-propagation exercises in an attempt to dispel ‘Islamophobia’. This false cult cannot be eliminated by condescending and apologizing for the Haqq of Tauheed. Participating in a program of joint tableegh is a compromise with Baatil, Kufr and Atheism. These ideologies and cults of falsehood are elevated to the pedestal of Haqq enjoyed by only Islam.
The fever of ‘Islamophobia’ created by Bush & Co. will never be dispelled by a silly inter-faith seminar of a few priests presenting their respective ideologies of ‘spirituality’. There is a dark and a massive international conspiracy against Islam and the Ummah. The promoters of ‘Islamophobia’ are hell-bent on giving effect to their pernicious plots. ‘Islamophobia’ is not the product of misunderstanding. It is a deliberate propaganda cons-piracy to eliminate Islam and to grab the wealth of the Lands of Islam. But molvis and sheikhs with shallow minds acquit themselves ludicrously, compromising the Haqq in their misconceived idea of forging a unity between Haqq and Baatil – Imaan and Kufr. This was never the goal of the Ambiya. The mission of the Ambiya was only one – the assertion and domination of the Deen of Islam.
‘Islamophobia’ is cited by miscreant ‘scholars’ for the benefit of their own nafsaani agendas. They are unable to cite a single precedent in the annals of Islam to justify their inter-faith, joint-tableegh methodology which equates shirk, kufr and atheism with Tauheed. The satanic stratagem Talbeesul Iblees has thoroughly clouded their brains, effacing the discernment of simple truths and realities. They fail to understand that the age-old kuffaar plot of ‘Islamophobia’ is an integral constituent of the kuffaar propaganda machine which has operated against Islam throughout history, and it will continue in this way right until the end. This world is the arena for the confrontation and battle between Haqq and Baatil. This issue is irrefutable. The obligation is only to state the Haqq with clarity, with emphasis and without compromising an iota of Tauheed and the Haqq of Islam.
‘Islamophobia’ existed and was actively promoted from the very age of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) by the Mushrikeen of Makkah as well as by the Christians of other lands. In this current era, billions of dollars are made available to dark agencies such as the Central
Intelligence Agency and others for promoting ‘Islamophobia’.
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was not sent to earth to fight ‘Islamophobia’. His sacred mission was to teach the Message of Tauheed (Islam) to mankind. This goal cannot be achieved by participating in a joint propagation endeavour by a movement whose cardinal principles and fundamental basis refute the absoluteness of Islam’s Truth. Co-operation and ‘co-existence’ with others on the basis of the legitimacy of all religions is abhorrent to Islam.
Hadhrat Dahya (radhiyallahu anhu), the emissary of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) presented the letter of Da’wat to Dhaghaatir, the chief bishop of the Christians. Like all the letters of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), it stated the uncompromising and unadulterated truth of Tauheed and that Islam was the only Way of salvation. Dhaghaatir was highly respected, honoured and revered by the Christians. Being an expert of the Tauraah and Injeel, Dhaghaatir immediately recognized the Truth and commented: “By Allah! He is undoubtedly the Messenger of Allah. His attributes have been described in the heavenly Scriptures.”
Dhaghaatir entered a room and removed his black ecclesiastical garb. He donned a white garment and holding a staff in his hand entered the church. He then addressed the congregation as follows:
“O People of Rome! Verily a letter from Ahmad has reached us. He invites us to Allah Azza Wa Jal. Verily, I testify that there is no god but Allah, and verily Ahmad is His Slave and Messenger.” (The Injeel refers to Rasulullah – sallallahu alayhi wasallam – by the name ‘Ahmad’.)
The intensity of abhorrence the kuffaar had for Tauheed and their ‘Islamophobia’ transformed them into wild wolves. They pounced on Dhaghaatir and slayed him. His lofty status among them did not deter them from embarking on the brutal murder of their own chief bishop.
Inter-Faith seminars do nothing to dispel ‘Islamophobia’. On the contrary, Inter-faith seminars compromise the elevated stance of Islam. It demotes Islam to the level of the false ideologies. But the spiritual blindness of the participants convolutes the brains of molvis and sheikhs who exhort Muslims to attentively listen to the propagation of kufr and baatil.
“O Nabi! Verily We have sent you as a Witness, a Bringer of Glad Tidings and as a Warner. And, as a Caller to Allah with His permission, and as a glittering Lantern.” (Al-Ahzaab, Aayats 45, 46)
The Truth of Islam is in the propagation of its Message as the only Path of Salvation, without listening to the exposition of kufr and atheism by its propagandists. The Nabi was a dazzling guiding star, and so is this Deen. It is not in need of the platforms which the people of baatil provide – a platform from which kufr will be propagated – kufr which Muslims are called on to listen by those who purport to be Muballigheen of Islam.
While in an inter-faith seminar and joint-propagation program, people have to sit silently and attentively listen to the atheist propounding open rebellion against Allah Ta’ala, the Qur’aan commands the Muballigh to announce to the atheist: “This (entire creation which you are seeing) is the creation of only Allah. Now show me what have others besides Allah created. In fact, the zaalimoon are in manifest deviation.”(Luqmaan, Aayat 10)
It is haraam to pay attention to the propagation of the atheist. His exposition of ‘spirituality’ is a branch of Satanism, and affording him an audience is among the snares of Iblees. It is a product of Talbeesul Iblees. Their disputation is nothing but deception whispered into their hearts by Shaitaan. The Qur’aan says about them: “And, among people are those who dispute about Allah without having any knowledge, nor guidance, nor a clear scripture.” (Luqmaan, Aayat 20)
They present their own satanic concepts of divinity and spirituality, and the misguided molvis who participate in such seminars expect Muslim men and women to digest the kufr of the atheists and the mushrikeen.
The dialogue which the Muballigh is required by Islam to have with the kuffaar is an independent proclamation of the Haqq of Tauheed. Thus, Nabi Ibraaheem (alayhis salaam), condemning the falsehood the kuffaar believed in, called them to Tauheed with clarity and emphasis: “(Remember) when he said to his father: ‘O my father, why do you worship an object which does not hear nor sees nor can it benefit you in any way? O my father, Verily, there has come to me such (Divine) Knowledge which has not come to you. Therefore, follow me, for I shall guide you to the Straight Path. O my father, do not worship Shaitaan, Verily, Shaitaan was to Rahmaan rebellious. O my father, I fear that the Punishment of Rahmaan will overtake you, then you will become a friend of Shaitaan.’”(Maryam, Aayaat 42 – 45)
Tableegh with such clarity is not permitted at the inter-faith seminar where all the ideologies of Shaitaan are on par on an elevated status. But joint-propagation is the denigration of Islam. It is a vile insult against Allah Ta’ala who sent the Ambiya to demolish and eliminate kufr and shirk. Yet, the Muslim muballigh and the Muslim audience participating in the function of Iblees are constrained to accord respect and reverence to those who propagate treason against Allah Azza Wa Jal. Nothing is more abhorrent to Allah Azza Wa Jal than kufr and shirk
The molvi participating in the joint-propagation endeavour, is constrained to display niceties and offer a receptive ear to the kufr which the Yahood, Nasaara and the atheist propound. But would the molvi continue sitting in such company if they were to slander his mother or brand him an ignoramus or a buffoon. Most assuredly, he would have left the venue with a huff and a puff, feeling insulted. Yet, although he professes to be an upholder of Tauheed he finds sufficient accommodation in his heart to have friendly dialogue with those who insult and slander Allah Ta’ala with their kufr and baatil. But the Qur’aan commands: “Do not sit with them after you have remembered.”
When Shaitaan succeeds to overwhelm the muballigh with his spell of Talbeesul Iblees, he (the muballigh) is required to withdraw from the evil gathering as soon as he realizes his folly. But when the muballigh is spiritually barren, shallow in knowledge and craving for some publicity, then there is no hope for extricating him from the snare of Iblees. A short-sighted, but sincere man of knowledge will quickly realize his folly and with taufeeq from Allah Ta’ala save himself from the snare of Iblees in which he was entrapped.
Allah Ta’ala sent Hadhrat Musaa (alayhis salaam) and Hadhrat Haaroon (alayhis salaam) to Fir’oun to deliver the clear Message of Tauheed, and that was exactly how Nabi Musaa (alayhis salaam) discharged his obligation. He did not favour Fir’oun by condescending to give a hearing to his kufr. From the very inception of his mission, Nabi Musaa (alayhis salaam), condemned the kufr ideology of Fir’oun and called him to the worship of the One Allah. And so did all the Ambiya without a single exception. The mission of the Ambiya (alayhimus salaam) did not offer the slightest scope for accommodating kufr nor for any joint-tableegh venture in which kufr and baatil are accorded the same stage as Tauheed.
The mission of Tableegh commanded by Allah Ta’ala does not tolerate any complacency towards ideologies which flagrantly deny His Tauheed. Thus Musaa (alayhis salaam), Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and all the other Ambiya approached the unbelievers to deliver the Haqq and to call them to Tauheed without affording them an opportunity to elucidate their creeds of kufr. The adherents of Falsehood have to be directly informed of the falsehood of their doctrines, beliefs and concepts of spirituality.
When Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Khulafa-e-Raashideen sent their armies to conquer the lands of the kuffaar, they were instructed to first present the Message of Tauheed and to invite them to accept this one and only Truth. No inter-faith dialogue for gaining an understanding of baatil concepts was allowed. Propagation of Islam cannot be from a hybrid platform consisting of a preponderance of kufr and a smattering of Haqq. The joint-propagation of such an admixture is tantamount to acceding the validity of kufr, shirk and atheism.
“Whoever searches for a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.” – Qur’aan
The Sunnah of all the Ambiya (alayhimus salaam) was always dissociation from the deniers of Tauheed when they intransigently rejected the clear Da’wat of Tauheed. There never was an attempt to have inter-faith dialogue and co-operation with the aim of promoting Islam. Allah’s command was dissociation not co-operation with baatil. The Ambiya dissociated from the deniers of Tauheed after issuing the ultimatum: “Say: Derive a little benefit with your kufr. Verily, you are among the companions of the Fire.”(Az-Zumar, Aayat 8)
Rejecting the slightest compromise with the ideologies and religions of kufr and shirk, the Qur’aan states: “(O you mushrikeen!) Worship whatever you desire besides Him. Say: ‘Verily, the losers are those who will destroy themselves and their families (with their kufr) on the Day of Qiyaamah. Hark! That is the manifest loss.’ ”
(Az-Zumar, Aayat 15)
When the kuffaar persisted in their intransigent rejection of Tauheed, Nabi Ibraaheem (alayhis salaam) sought no program of reconciliation, appeasement and dialogue for giving an ear to kufr and shirk. Rather he dissociated from them: “He (Ibraaheem) said: ‘Peace on you……I shall dissociate from you (idolaters) and from the (idols) you worship besides Allah, and I call on my Rabb.”(Maryam, Aayaat 47 and 48)
This separation and dissociation were not exclusive with Nabi Ibraaheem (alayhis salaam). It was the Sunnah of all the Ambiya (alayhimus salaam) who were satanically and intransigently rejected by their people. There is not a single precedent in the history of the Ambiya (alayhimus salaam) for inter-faith and joint propagation where Islam, shirk, kufr and atheism are all collectively promoted.
In this age, among the most dangerous snares of Talbeesul Iblees are inter-faith seminars in which molvis and sheikhs participate.
The Muballigh is not supposed to weaken the stance of Haqq by joining in a collective propagation effort consisting of a variety of falsehood to which Islam is also latched as a handmaid. Tableegh of Tauheed is an independent effort which has no relationship whatsoever with any joint-propagation activity which envisages promotion of kufr, shirk and atheism. Inter-faith seminars are precisely such ventures which Shaitaan has adorned for entrapping short-sighted molvis and sheikhs of shallow knowledge and dubious nafsaani motives. The call at inter-faith seminars is stated by the Qur’aan-e-Hakeem: “They call besides Allah on (false deities) which neither can harm or benefit.”
During the lifetime of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), when a group of Sahaabah met the Christian Emperor, Heracleus, in his palace, they put forth the Da’wat of Tauheed in its unadulterated form, without presenting any compromise from which it could be inferred that there is sufficient latitude in Muslims for giving a second thought to the doctrines of Christianity nor did the emperor enter into any compromise dialogue on doctrinal issues. This was the stance of the Sahaabah wherever they went and whomever they met, be it pauper or emperor.
The mission of Da’wat promoted by the Sahaabah was strictly confined to the propagation of uncompromising Tauheed. Their mission was not to dispel the ‘Islamophobia’ which the antagonists of Islam were spreading on all fronts, especially the crusading Christians.
In the present era, the U.S.A. is the headquarters for churning the ‘Islamophobia’ machinery gorging out implacable hatred for Islam. Modernist and deviated Muslims, including liberal molvis and sheikhs, have engaged considerably in inter-faith dialogue and seminars in the U.S.A. and Europe. But the ‘Islamophobia’ continues unabated. This phenomenon is incremental and will gather momentum regardless of the inter-faith seminars in which miscreant molvis and sheikhs engage.
There are two factors which will increase the fever of ‘Islamophobia’: (1) The political conspiracies of the western powers designed for grabbing the natural resources of the Lands of Islam. (2) The treachery of Muslims towards the Deen of Allah Azza Wa Jal.
The stupid inter-faith seminars will not thwart the materialization of Rasulullah’s predictions which have apprized us of the rising tide of ‘Islamophobia’ which will come in the wake of the embrace of the world and all its evils by the Ummah. The molvis and sheikhs should develop some fear of Allah Ta’ala so that the satanic vapours which are blurring their intellectual vision dissipate to enable them to distinguish between Haqq and Baatil. But it is difficult for ‘scholars’ or so-called ‘scholars’ to have a clear vision as long as they pursue their nafsaani agendas of self-aggrandizement, cheap publicity and the desire to address females without any Hijaab restriction, which otherwise they are unable to do sitting in their Musjid or Madrasah cloisters.
Inter-faith co-operation has degenerated into flagrant accommodation of kufr to the extent that so-called ‘Muslim’ governments are allowing and even facilitating the Christian missionary organization to propagate Christianity in almost all the Lands of Islam. In fact, in Kuwait Christians freely distribute a fabricated ‘qur’aan’ in Arabic to Arabs, many of whom have converted to Christianity in consequence of the proselytizing efforts of the agents of kufr and shirk.
Shaitaan is widening the sphere of kufr and shirk with these inter-faith dialogues and seminars in which misguided molvis and sheikhs have become entrapped in this perfect snare of Talbeesul-Iblees.
