I n t r o d u c t i o n
All Praise is due to Allah (swt), the Lord of all creation. The one who has guided
us to the straight path and completed his Deen as a mercy upon us, all thanks are to
him who made us Muslims and made Islam the final message for mankind, which
abrogates all previous messages, and glory be to the one who sent the final
message Al-Islam, for Allah (swt) says,
“Verily this is My Way leading straight: follow it: follow not (other)
paths: they will scatter you about from His (great) path: thus doth He
command you that ye may be righteous.” [EMQ 6:153] [EMQ 5:15-16]
Allah (swt) promised those that follow Islam alone that they will be in paradise,
“Allah (swt) hath promised to believer’s men and women gardens under
which rivers flow to dwell therein and beautiful mansions in gardens of
everlasting bliss. But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allah: that
is the supreme felicity.” [EMQ 9:72]
Allah (swt) declares humiliation and hellfire for those who do not die as Muslims,
“Those who reject (Truth) among the People of the Book and among the
Polytheists will be in hell-fire to dwell therein (for aye). They are the
worst of creatures.”[EMQ 98:6]

Al-Ummah Al-Magdoobah
Ibn Qayyim in his book Hidayat ul-Hayara said, “The Jews are the cursed nation
who Allah (swt) is angry with, they are the people of lies, fabrications, treachery,
conspiracies and are murderers of Prophets and Messengers. They are people of
usury and bribery, the filthiest nation and have the lowest of characters, farthest
from mercy and closest to revenge. They have the habit of animosity and hatred.
Their attributes are aggression and disputing, of black magic and sorcery, lies and
tricks, they don’t hold any sanctity for those who differ with them and do not
respect any covenant and sanctity with any believers. They will have no rights or
kindness for the one who agrees with them. There is no fairness, justice, security or
tranquillity for the one who associates with them or the one who mixes with them.
For the ones whom they work for, they give bad advice. The wise amongst them are
filthy and the experts among them are cheats and the good among them (God
forbid) are not really Jews. They are the most narrow minded and impatient, the
most oppressive, their houses are smelly and filthy and in their suburbs they wear
clothes that frighten you. Their salutation is a curse, their meeting is pessimistic
and their sign is anger showered with venom,”

Al-Ummah Al-Tathleeth
In the same book Ibn Qayyim said, “The Christians are misguided cross
worshipers. They are those who swear at Allah (swt) the creator, in a way no other
human has sworn at Allah. They are like those before who did not believe that God
is unique as stated in Surah Ikhlaas, nor do they make him greater than
everything; rather they say, “the heaven and earth will crack and the mountains
will fall down”. The base of their Aqeedah and their biggest curse against Allah
(swt) is the Trinity. According to the Christians Mary is the lover of Allah (swt)
and Jesus is his son. They claim the Almighty God came down from his great chair
and melted in the womb of Mary, until he was killed and buried at the hands of
man. Its Deen is the worship of the cross; its supplication is for the images that are
drawn on the wall, in red and yellow colours. They say in their prayer “Oh mother
of God provide for us, forgive us and have mercy on us”. Their Deen is to drink
alcohol, eat pork, desert circumcision, worship with impurity and eat everything,
even if it is filthy, whether that be the elephant or the mosquito. What is lawful
and unlawful is what their priests say; the priests can take them to heaven and
forgive their sins.”
Al-Ummah Al-Sabiah
We seek refuge in Allah (swt) from the idol worshipers, Fire worshipers, devil
worshipers, those who are confused and the apostates. Those whose common
ground is shirk e.g. the Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs etc, the denial of Messengers, the
rejection of the Shari’ah and of the hereafter and the resurrection. They are those
who have no Deen and do not believe in the Creator or worship him and they are
those who do not elevate Allah (swt) (Allah (swt) exclusively.
Al-Ummah Al-Majoos
This is the Ummah that legalises sexual relationships with ones mother, daughter,
sister or aunty etc. Their Deen is to play music. Their food is dead meat and their
drink is alcohol. Their God is fire and their alliance is with Shaytan. They are the
filthiest sect from the sons of Adam and the lowliest school with the most corrupt
belief.
Al-Ummah Al-Ilhaad
They are those atheist philosophers who do not believe in Allah, his angels, books,
Messengers, the hereafter and accountability. The wise amongst them believe in
nine galaxies, ten minds, four pillars and chains of logic like the logic of the
insane.

The Muslim Ummah
Allah (swt) described the Jews as the Cursed Nation and the Christians as the
Misguided Nation and he described the Muslim Ummah as the Best Nation with
the best Deen. Allah (swt) described us as the Best Ummah until the Day of
Judgement and, further, said that there is nobody else like us. It is an insult against
Allah (swt) for the people of today to elevate the Jews and the Christians to the
same level as the Muslim Ummah, to say they are all good is like saying that Allah
(swt) lies. Interfaith has at its basis the belief that says Islam, Christianity and
Judaism are the same and in recent years, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism etc
have also been added to this idea of Interfaith. There are some Muslims who ask
us not to call the non-Muslims “Kafir”, but rather to call them “potential
Muslims”, they say that, “it is not allowed to call them Kafir”, in fact the one that
says this declares apostasy because he is either saying that he doesn’t believe what
Allah (swt) says, or he believes Allah (swt) is a liar or he has commented over
what Allah (swt) says, preferring his comment. In all cases his action makes him
apostate.
The Plot of Interfaith
9
T h e P l o t o f I n t e r f a i t h
It is thanks to the Almighty Allah (swt) who has saved us from these misguided
paths, and has guided us to the Deen of Haq. He has guided us to the Deen of Al-
Islam, which calls us to submit to Almighty Allah (swt) alone, to worship him
alone, the exclusive Legislator and Commander. This is the Deen that requests us
to command good and forbid evil. It is the Deen that calls for justice and
tranquillity and forbids us from unlawful sexual acts and promiscuity.
We bear witness that there is no God but Allah (swt) and that Muhammad (saw) is
his Messenger. Many sincere Muslims are exhausting effort in all parts of the
world today, in order to call Muslims to abide by the Shari’ah and in order to guide
non-Muslims to Islam. They stand firm, challenge and expose all Jahiliyyah such
as man-made law, atheism, Marxism and secularism. This struggle is taking place
despite of and against all types of intellectual invasions and secular propaganda.
We now hear of a new conspiracy against Islam, it is even more dangerous,
cowardice and tricky than all of these Kufr ideas, this new conspiracy is
“Interfaith”. Interfaith puts Islam on the same platform as Kufr ideas, this new
challenge is another knife in the heart of the Deen. It is an attempt to pollute the
Islamic phenomena, an attempt to stop the waves of people coming back to Islam
and practising it. It attempts to pollute the Islamic personality and is used to chase
away sincere Muslims, accusing them of fanaticism and terrorism and it
suppresses the Islamic movements, distorting their call. The Interfaith agenda is to
lead the Muslims towards apostasy, using all of the forces at its disposal; it diverts
the Muslims from the Deen, in order that they become apostates.
Allah (swt) says,
“They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say:
"Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah
(swt) to prevent access to the path of Allah (swt) to deny Him to prevent
access to the Sacred Mosque and drive out its members. Tumult and
oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you
until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you
turn back from their faith and die in unbelief their works will bear no
fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be Companions of the Fire
and will abide therein.” [EMQ 2:217]
The Plot of Interfaith
10
Verily their wish and desire is for Muslims to commit mass apostasy, for Allah
(swt) says,
“They but wish that ye should reject faith as they do and thus be on the
same footing (as they): but take not friends from their ranks until they flee
in the way of Allah (swt) (from what is forbidden). But if they turn
renegades seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any
case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.” [EMQ 4:89]
Apostasy is what the Jews and Christians target, it is their plot and a reality. They
hope that Muslims merge with them into the same kufr platform, where there is no
Wala or Bara. They oppose any ideas that classify nations as “Muslims Nations”
or “Kufr Nations”, they oppose ideas that classify religions as true or false; they
would rather make all religions false and Kufr. For these reasons they make up
slogans, form powerful chains of mediums and hold conferences and Seminars.
They form many organizations and institutions, lay down policies and projects,
raise topics publicly and privately, besides the many other activities that are aimed
at stopping the Islamists propagating the truth. In fact they have declared a state of
emergency against the Islamic revival, whose seeds have started showing fruit;
they have widened their circle and activities in order to counter the Islamic
Revival. They use ‘poverty’, ‘need’ and ‘ignorance’ to question the Islamic point
of view and to support the call for the Abrahamic faith (Interfaith). So what is the
rule for those who call for Interfaith, cooperate with it, help it and work for it?
The phenomenon of Interfaith has reached the level where corrupted people are
calling to print a “Holy Book” which comprises common verses from the Quran,
Torah and Injeel, in the form of one book. In some areas, they have brought three
places of worship under the same roof; this has already become common at
airports, hospitals, and in public places of worship.
The Plot of Interfaith
11
Oh, Ulema of Islam, where are you? Oh scholars, the ones who safeguard our
belief, where are you? Oh Islamic activists, where are you? Oh Muslims, where
are you? Oh, those who follow the Sunnah, where are you? Oh Ummah, where are
you? Oh heirs of the prophet, where are you? Verily, the reality of Interfaith is
well known. So a question has arisen, which requires an answer and the answer
involves an inevitable duty. Allah (swt) has granted in the Deen of Al-Islam, that
there will always be some Haqullah among the Muslims in general and among the
scholars in particular, who exist in order to defend the Deen and their Lord from
any conspiracy. One of the greatest types of Jihad of Da’wah is to expose Kufr and
to warn the Muslims, its weapons are evidence and jurisprudence, and this is the
least level of Iman for Allah (swt) says,
“It is not (possible) that a man to whom is given the Book and Wisdom
and the prophetic office should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers
rather than Allah's; on the contrary (he would say): "Be ye worshippers
of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all for ye have taught the Book and
ye have studied it earnestly."” [EMQ 3:79]
Therefore, with total reliance in Almighty Allah, I will give the answer for the
above question below, with sound evidences and clear understanding. I will
classify and divide my answer into two divisions.
1. The verification of the reality of Interfaith between the past and the present in
order to have a clear understanding of the reality of the question
2. The Islamic verdict for the call to “Interfaith”.
The Eras of Interfaith
12
T h e E r a s o f I n t e r f a i t h
Verily the new slogan of Interfaith propagated by the Jews and the Christians is an
old project adopted by them in order to apostasies Muslims from their Deen.
Historically the call for Interfaith has passed through five eras, which are:
1. The History of the Interfaith Theory during The Era of the Messenger
Muhammad (saw)
a. The “People of Paradise” plot.
b. The “Abrahamic Theory” Plot
2. The History of the Interfaith Theory during The Era after the Third
Generation Hijri 300AH to 699AH (912CE – 1299CE).
a. The plot of the “Document of Muhammad” and the plot of the
“Document of St. Catherine”.
b. The plot of Sufism (“Allah’s School of thought”, “Muzhabullah”)
3. The History of the Interfaith Theory during The Era Between 699AH to
900AH. (1299CE – 1484CE)
a. The plot of “Embracing Islam”.
b. The plot of the “Document of Muhammad”.
4. The History of the Interfaith Theory during the The Era Between CE 900AH
to 1342AH (1484CE-1924CE)
5. The History of the Interfaith Theory in The Contemporary Era 1342AH to
1423AH (1924CE - 2002CE Present Day)
1. The Era of the Messenger
Muhammad (saw)
13
1 . T h e E r a o f t h e M e s s e n g e r
M u h a m m a d ( s a w )
Allah (swt) informs us in his Book that the Jews and the Christians will do all that
they can to make Muslims commit apostasy; they call the Muslims away from
Islam and towards their own ways of life, for Allah (swt) says,
“…Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your
faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in
unbelief their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter;
they will be Companions of the Fire and will abide therein. [EMQ 2:217]
a. The People of Paradise plot.
The Christians came to Muhammad (saw) saying ‘we are the people of Paradise,
we are from the same source, from Esa and Moosa etc., you are blessed, let us
work together’ and Allah (swt) revealed to Muhammad (saw),
“… the people of the Book wish they could turn you (people) back to kufr
after you have believed from selfish envy after the truth hath become
manifest unto them…” [EMQ 2:109]
The Christians said they were the people of Paradise, but Allah (swt) exposed
them,
“And they say: "None shall enter paradise unless he be a Jew or a
Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if
you are truthful."”
“No whoever submits his whole self to Allah (swt) and is a doer of good
he will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear nor shall
they grieve.” [EMQ 2:111 –112]
The Christians left Muhammad (saw) angry and frustrated.
b. The “Abrahamic Theory” Plot
In another incident the Christians came to Muhammad (saw) and said, “Did you
know we are Abrahamic? We are from the same Milla as you. We are descendents
of Ibraheem, we are the children of Ishaac, from Ishaac there were 16 branches,
from Ishmael there were 2 branches, we have descended from Yusuf, Musa,
Dawood and Suleiman, we are their children”. Allah (swt) informed us of this,
1. The Era of the Messenger
Muhammad (saw)
14
“Without doubt among men the nearest of kin to Abraham are those who
follow him as is this Apostle and those who believe; and Allah (swt) is the
Protector of those who have faith.” [EMQ 3:68]
The Jews and the Christians said “become Jews”, “become Christian”, “you will
be guided”. And Allah (swt) says,
“They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (to
salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the religion of Abraham
the true and he joined not gods with Allah."” [EMQ 2:135]
Allah (swt) clearly exposed the plot of the Christians and the Jews; he shows us
that people of the book want to make the Muslims Kafir,
Quite a number of the people of the Book wish they could turn you
(people) back to infidelity after ye have believed from selfish envy after the
truth hath become manifest unto them; but forgive and overlook till Allah
(swt) accomplish His purpose; for Allah (swt) hath power over all
things.[EMQ 2:109]
Allah (swt) warns
They but wish that ye should reject faith as they do and thus be on the
same footing (as they): but take not friends from their ranks until they flee
in the way of Allah (swt) (from what is forbidden). But if they turn
renegades seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any
case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks. [EMQ 4:89]
In these verses and many others, Allah (swt) warns us of the conspiracy of the
Jews, Christians and others. The clear understanding that the Muslims had of these
verses of warning, made sure that the call for Interfaith was extinguished all the
way up to the end of third century Hijri.
2. The Era After the
Third Generation Hijri
15
2 . T h e E r a A f t e r t h e
T h i r d G e n e r a t i o n H i j r i
After the first three generations the call for Interfaith started to be heard again. The
call for Interfaith came under the pretext that Judaism, Christianity and Islam were
schools of thought that all lead to Allah. Under the pretext of Mazhabullah (i.e. the
schools of thought of Allah) Interfaith raised its ugly head again. The Jews and
Christians started to fabricate text, they initiated doubt and put confusion in the
minds of some Muslims. We started to hear some titles and definitions that
grabbed the attention of some Muslims, which in turn lead many to apostasy. One
such term was the idea of the oneness of all existence, the unification of all
existence and the reincarnation of God in man. These ideas made many Muslims
become apostate, especially from amongst the Sufis and the Shia, and from the
Muslims of As-Sham, Persia and from the provinces of Asia. Some of these
apostates even allowed the Muslims to become Jews or Christians, under the guise
of Mazhabullah, and even worse than this, some said it is better to be Christian
than Muslim. These ideas started to become common from those inclined to
philosophies. They even started to say that the best creations were Al-Uhakil, who
are the ones who call for the oneness of all existence and the reincarnation of God.
The scholars of Islam rose against these corrupted people and exposed them. The
classical scholars exposed these corrupted Kafir. Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah
wrote books exposing these philosophers and in particular the apostate of Al-
Halaj, who was executed for his apostasy, his name was Hussein Bin Mansour Bin
Pharasi (died 309 Hijri). Ibn Taymiyyah exposed other apostates, including the
apostate Ibn Arabi Muhammad Bin Ali Ata’i, who spoke about the oneness of
existence, in his book Al-Fusoos and who was subsequently killed in 638 Hijri,
including another apostate called Ibn Sabi’an (died 699 Hijri).
a. The Plot of the “Document of Muhammad” and
the Plot of the “Document of St. Catherine”
The Jews came to Khalifah Abu Mantisa and said “Muhammad has written a letter
for our forefathers at the time of Khayber. In Khayber the Jews were destroyed,
but some were forgiven and Muhammad (saw) wrote a letter excusing them from
paying the Jizya.” They produced a letter written on Gazelle Skin, it had no vowel
signs and appeared to be signed by Muhammad (saw) and witnessed by Muawiya
Ibn Abi Sufyan and Saad Ibn Muaz. At first glance it seemed to be genuine. The
Khalifah called Imam Tabari, who immediately exposed it as a fake, he said, “It is
impossible for this document to be authentic as it was signed by Muawiya who
wasn’t even Muslim at the time of Khayber, he embraced Islam two years after,
when Muhammad (saw) conquered Mecca!”
2. The Era After the
Third Generation Hijri
16
The Christians claimed that St Catherine is buried in Mount Sina, Mt Sina being
where Musa (as) received the commandments. The Christians called for the people
to come and pray together in the monastery of St. Catherine. They, especially the
Pope and the Egyptian Coptic’s claimed that Muhammad (saw) testified, in front
of Abu Huraira (RA), that Allah (swt) told him that the grave at that monastery
belonged to a Saint called Catherine, and the document was supposedly signed in
year three Hijri by Abu Huraira (RA). The claim was made to the Wali of Egypt.
The Wali was shocked and called the Ulema to investigate the document. The
implications of this document were that if it was true, then St Catherine was a
believer and the Christians, Jews and Muslims were Abrahamic. But the Ulema
immediately exposed the document as a fake, because Abu Huraira (RA) couldn’t
have testified to it, since he wasn’t even a Muslim in the year 3 Hijri, rather he
became Muslim in year 6 Hijri! Unfortunately the Muslims have been bitten by
this plot and Mount Sina is today a place where the Jews, Christians and so called
“Muslims” pray together, delegates to the site even include the Qadianis, Ismailis,
Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs etc.!
2. The Era After the
Third Generation Hijri
17
b. The Plot of Sufism (Allah’s
School of thought, Muzhabullah)
This century was also known as the century of sects and firqa. The Jews came
from this angle. They said, “you have many schools of thought, what about the
school of thought of Allah”, this was the start of the “Mazhabullah” ideas i.e. that
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all schools of Allah. However nobody
accepted these strange ideas except for some of the Sufis.
Sufism emanated from an idea called “Al-Zuhd”, which means to keep busy with
ritual acts. This developed into an idea called Al-U’bbad (the Worshippers), there
were Sahaba who were Al-U’bbad, and who said they did not want to fight against
Muslims in the time of the rebellion. Abdullah Ibn Omar (RA) sincerely said, “I
cannot fight until you find me a sword that will tell me who is Muslim and who is
not”, but these ideas were not a problem at that time. What followed this was very
dangerous, there were people who stood next to Imam Ali and said, “you must
fight, you have the Haq”, but when it came to fighting, they left his side and when
Imam Ali accepted arbitration they said to Imam Ali “You are Kafir”. He rose
against these people and destroyed them. They became divided and some of them
felt so bad that they decided they would never again become involved in politics.
These people were called Al-Tawwabeen (the repenters) and were followed by Al-
Bakkaeen (the wailers), i.e. those that would not cry a lot. After Al-Bakkaeen
came the Sufis, from which many became apostate and were exploited by the Jews
and the Christians to work within the ranks of Interfaith and the Abrahamic ideas.
2. The Era After the
Third Generation Hijri
18
In many cases the teachers of these Sufis were Christians and Jews. Al-Halaj,
whose teacher was a Jew, introduced the idea of the Reincarnation of Allah, he
believed that his Jewish teacher was Allah (swt) and when his teacher died the
people asked Halaj, “what are you going to do now?” He saw the mule of his
teacher and looked at the Mule. Al-Halaj said that the Mule smiled at him and
whispered to him, “I am God”. Al-Halaj would escort the Mule around, cleaning it
and saying it was Allah. Al-Halaj was eventually executed along with his Mule
and his remains were thrown in the Jungle for the wolves to devour. Ibn Arabi
believed in the Oneness of the Existence, his teacher was a Christian. Ibn Sab’een
believed in the idea of the Unity of Allah, he believed that we could become re-
united with Allah (swt) and his teacher was also a Jew.

a. The plot of embracing Islam.
In the Abbasid era the leader of the Tatars wanted to enter Bilad Al-Sham. Bilad
Al-Sham was known as the city of knowledge, they believed they did not need
weapons, as they were purely people of knowledge. Islam was in power and Bilad
Al-Sham was a city of enlightenment It was known as Medinat ul-Ilm or Minara
Ilm Al-Alami, the people were busy with Ilm and the city produced many Ulema.
It is said that the jealousy of the Alim is the like the jealousy of the 2 wives and
this may provide an explanation for some of the actions of Al-Mansoury. Imam
Al-Mansoury clashed with the Ulema, he wasn’t able to go to the Amir of
Baghdad and wasn’t able to get a position within the state. The Jews came to Al-
Mansoury praising him, saying he was the Sheikh Al-Islam, and said, “We could
help you gain a position, but we need you to help us”. The fake document that was
refuted by Imam Tabari was produced again, but this time they had removed the
name of Muawiya. The Jews said “The Tatars have a big army outside the city
waiting to enter, if they embraced Islam they could enter the city without fighting,
this would enable you to become close to the Governor.” So Mansoury went to the
Governor and said, “I want to go to the Tartars and call them to embrace Islam.”
He went to Kalaoun, the Tartar leader, and said to him, “You don’t need to fight to
enter Damascus, if you embrace Islam you will enter Damascus without fighting.
We Ahl-Al-Sham have a secret that nobody knows about, I will tell you about it if
you enter Islam and give me power when you enter the city.” Kalaoun decided to
embrace Islam and called himself Mahmoud. The news quickly spread that the
leader of the Tartars had embraced Islam at the hands of Al-Mansoury. The Tartars
wanted to enter Damascus so the Governor gathered the Ulema and asked for
advice. Ibn Taymiyyah said “Let us check that they have become Muslims”, so he
went with his students to Kalaoun, they discovered that the Tartars were taking
Islam and mixing it with their own book Al-Yasiq, a political book with a
complete political system. They were praying and doing ritual acts but following
the political beliefs of Al-Yasiq. Ibn Taymiyyah declared, “these people are Kafir,
even if you see them pray.” NB. They were mixing Islam with man-made law, just
like today’s secular Muslims. Al-Mansoury differed and said, “No they have
become Muslim and even if they follow Al-Yasiq they don’t take it as a belief,
they take it as tradition, they can’t give up tradition just like that.” Al-Mansoury
went to Kalaoun and said to him, “Do you want to know the secret of Ahl-Al-
Sham, the secret is that there are no weapons in Damascus.” At this point the
Tartars decided to enter the city. When the news spread that the Tartars were about
to enter the City and that the tartars knew there were no weapons, most of the
3. The Era Between
699AH to 900AH
20
Ulema said, “Let us make a treaty, we will give them the city without fighting, but
they must not touch our women and children, they are our brothers.” Ibn
Taymiyyah said, “Wait, by Allah (swt) these people are Mushrik, we have
weapons and I can train all of you, we have three things, we have Allah (swt), we
have the Iman and the Tawakul and we have our nail, our nails are enough with the
help of Allah (swt) and his army”. The defeated reply was, “Let us have a look at
the cause of victory, Iman is not enough, we need to be trained and have
weapons.” Ibn Taymiyyah said “The Prophet Muhammad (saw) in the battle of
Badr had only one horse, and we have many horses, and the horses are always
linked to the goodness”, the reply was, “but they have many horses”, Ibn
Taymiyyah replied “their horses do not have soldiers who say La Illaha Illalla,
Muhammad Ar-Rasoolloollah.” The Amir instructed Ibn-Taymiyyah to take
charge of this mission and so Ibn Taymiyyah started to motivate the people, telling
them of the weapons that they should use i.e. The Iman and the Tawakul and
anything they could lay their hands on. Al-Mansoury on the other hand, went
around the city de-motivating the Muslims, saying, “Do not listen to Ibn
Taymiyyah, Allah (swt) said fight the Kafir not the Muslims, these people are
Muslims and, even if they are not, Allah (swt) did not say fight the Jews and the
Christians, we live with them, not fight them, we are all a brotherhood, the
children of Abraham.” Ibn Taymiyyah said, “These people are Kafir and even if
you see them in the Mosques, kill them.” The tartars were so strong that one night
Ibn Taymiyyah decided to investigate them, he went to the camp of Kalaoun and
here he found Al-Mansoury, suddenly all had become clear, Mansoury was the
leak. Kalaoun said to Ibn Taymiyyah, “who are you?” Ibn Taymiyyah replied, “I
am Abdullah, Ibn Taymiyyah.” And they argued about whether the Tartars were
Muslims or not. Ibn Taymiyyah argued that they could not follow the book of Al-
Yasiq and be Muslim and that the Muslims do not fight each other. Ibn Taymiyyah
quoted “If two Muslims fight each other, reconcile between them, but if one rebels
against the other fight against the rebellious.” so we fight against you because you
are rebellious. Kalaoun asked, “What do you want?” Ibn Taymiyyah replied, “Two
things, correct your Aqueeda and know that Muslims do not fight Muslims.”
Kalaoun asked “And if I don’t do that, what will you do?” to which Ibn
Taymiyyah said, “Know that if you do not do this we will fight you and each of us
will take ten of you, we are people with weapons and we will surprise you.” Al-
Mansoury said, “You have no weapons, you are bluffing.” Ibn Taymiyyah said,
“We have weapons, we did not tell you though, because we knew you would
deceive us. We have more weapons than the hairs on your beard.” Kalaoun
brought Ibn Taymiyyah and his companions meat to eat, but Ibn Taymiyyah said,
“I will never eat this meat it is the meat of Mushrik and the animal was stolen from
Damascus.” Then they brought meat from one of their own camels and Ibn
Taymiyyah said, “I cannot eat this because you don’t slaughter correctly”. Ibn

699AH to 900AH
21
Taymiyyah companions slaughtered and cooked the next animal, but when the
food was brought before Ibn Taymiyyah, he said, “I will not eat this until your
army withdraws from Damascus” Kalaoun agreed and he withdrew his army from
Damascus. So Ibn Taymiyyah returned victorious without fighting or even giving
salaam. Mansoury on the other hand was killed by Kalaoun.
b. The plot of the
“Document of Muhammad”
When the Jews heard of the fate of Al-Mansoury they went to the governor
showing them their forgery, the governor showed it to Ibn Taymiyyah and
immediately Ibn Taymiyyah said, “This is fake, it was signed in the year 7 of hijri,
Saad Bin Muaz died in year 2 Hijri after Banu Kuraytha. Further, when they tried
to leave with the document, saying they wanted to check it with their Rabbis, Ibn
Taymiyyah said, “Don’t leave the room, if anyone of you leaves the room he will
be killed”, they argued “you cannot take this document, it is our property.” But Ibn
Taymiyyah said, “By Allah (swt) anybody who fabricates the word of the Prophet
from the Zhima, has no Zhima, the hadith says “whoever betrays a zhimi, betrays
Muhammad (saw)” but also, “whoever betray Muhammad (saw) he betrays Allah”
and we will therefore kill you. Ibn Taymiyyah said, “you will pay Jizyah for last
year, which you did not pay, and for this year.” It is reported that they paid the
outstanding Jizyah within one day!
4. The Era starting
in 14th Century CE
22
4 . T h e E r a s t a r t i n g
i n 1 4 t h C e n t u r y C E
The call for Interfaith had been extinguished for a while, except in the hearts of a
few individuals. But in the first half of the 14th
century the new era of Interfaith
started. Interfaith was adopted by an organisation that was created by the Jews
called the “Freemasons”. The Freemasons aimed to control the world by
propagating atheism and liberalism, under the guise of calling for the unity for the
three religions, rejecting the t’asum (firmness of thought) and removing any “ism”
under the pretext of unity of belief in God. So anybody who believed in God was a
believer in Freemasonry and many Muslims fell down under the devils whip of
Freemasonry. Jamul Udin Bin Sufda Al-Afagani, who died in turkey in 1414 hijri,
was one of those who fell under the spell of the freemasons and his student Sheikh
Muhammad Abdu Bin Hassan Al-Turkmani who died in Egypt 1323 Hijri
followed him. One of the efforts of Muhammad Abdu for Interfaith, with the help
of the head of the Mizaowi Shia sect, under Mirza Baata Al-Irani (who embraced
Christianity and then he re-embraced Islam) and with them the representative of
Jamul Udin Afagani and many other so called “peoples people”, was the
establishment in Beirut of a famous organisation named Jamiat Al-Talif. Jamiat
Al-Talif is the organisation of reconciliation and inclination between various
religions, its objective is to close the gap between the three religions. This
organisation is affiliated to some Iranian Shia, English Christians and the Jews.
This organisation has been reported about in great detail by Sheikh Muhammad
Rasheed Rida (died 1354 Hijri), who was the student of Muhammad Abdu, in his
book “The History of the Great Teacher Imam Muhammad Abdu” at volume 1,
page 817 and 829. One article that was published by a caller of Interfaith was “Can
we Unify Christianity with Islam”, this article described the ideas discussed at a
meeting between some Muftis of Egypt and two Azhari scholars, with a group of
priests, particularly Abraham Lucas. Abraham spoke in the press conference that
followed and declared the following, “there is no way for complete unity, except
when one religion embraces the other. Either we have Iman on the Trinity of God,
the Son and Holy Spirit and his salvation, and thus we all become Christians, or
we believe in Jesus as one of the Messengers and all become Muslims.”
5. The Contemporary Era
23
5 . T h e C o n t e m p o r a r y E r a
In the last quarter of the 14th
century hijri, until 1423 hijri and under the shade of
the New World Order and globalisation we have started to hear the Jews and
Christians calling for a gathering based on religion. They call for unity between
the Moosaweyyah (Jews), Isawiyyah (Christians) and Muhammadiyyah
(Muslims). Their call for this unity came under many guises and titles:
1. Al-Taqaarob Bein Al-Adyaan, to bring the religions closer together.
2. Nabaz Al-Ta’sob Al-Deenie, the rejection of religious partisanship.
3. Al-Ikhaa Al-Deenie, the brotherhood in religions, a centre was established in
Egypt.
4. Mujama’ Al-Dyaan, the compilation of religions, their head quarters were set
up in Sinaa in Egypt
5. Al-Sadaqah Al-Islamiyyah Al-Masihiyyah, the Islamic and Christianity
friendship.
6. Al-Tadhamon Al-Islamie Al-Masihie Dhud Al-Shoyou’iyyah, the Christian
Muslim solidarity against communism, this was based again in Egypt.
7. The Unity of Religion, the Oneness of Religion and the Unity of the Three
Religions.
8. Al-Millah Al-Ibrahimiyyah, the Millah of Ibraheem.
9. Al-Wihdah Al-Ibrahimiyya, the unity of the heavenly religions.
10. The believers, the United Believers, the United People.
10. The Worldwide Religions.
11. Interfaith and Interlink between Religions.
12. Al-Milioun or the people of faith.
13. Global United Religions.
The supplement of the above slogans is the latest idea, which is the compilation of
“The Unity of the Heavenly Books”. This book introduces the ideas of printing the
Quran, the Torah and the Bible in one hardback book and calling it the “Holy
Book”. This call for Interfaith in practical ritual life was in response to the call of
the Pope, who started by calling for joint prayers between the representatives of
the three religions. They established the first joint prayer in the village of Eases on
22nd
October 1986. Today this practice has been repeated many times, under name
of the prayer of the Holy Spirit. Recently on the top of the mountain of Keito in
Japan, the joint prayer between the three religions was established, unfortunately a
heavy representation was also present from Islamic institutes. What follows these
prayer is even worse, they use clever means to persuade Muslims to adopt the
ideas of Interfaith, adopting the ideas of the Kafir and giving up the idea of Al-
Wala Wal-Bara. The call of Interfaith utilises the (meaningless) slogans World
Wide Peace, World Wide Tranquillity for Humanity, Freedom, Equality,
5. The Contemporary Era
24
Compassion and Love. These are exactly what the main slogans of the freemasons
were i.e. Freedom, Brotherhood and Equality or Peace, Mercy and Humanity. In
addition they use contemporary spiritualism, which is based on the foundation of
calling the spirits, using séance, they call Muslim souls, Jewish souls and Sikh
souls to respond etc. Séance is one of the calls of the International institutions of
Freemasons and Zionism.
The Effect of Interfaith
on Muslims and Islam
25
T h e E f f e c t o f I n t e r f a i t h
o n M u s l i m s a n d I s l a m
One of the effects of Interfaith on non-Muslims towards the Muslims is that it has
broken the barrier of fear and respect towards the Muslims. Another is that it has
broken the barrier of rejection of Kufr by the Muslims as a matter of Bara. It
introduced the idea that the Pope is the spiritual leader of the whole world and all
religions and that he is the carrier of the message of peace for the whole of
humanity. The pope declared on the 27th
October 1986 that the Eid for all religions
was the first day of January and called it “The day of Worldwide Brotherhood”.
An anthem has been adopted which all representatives repeat, it is called “There is
only one God the One Father”. Many International conferences and seminars have
been convened and many organisations, groups and clubs have been established
around the world, such as:
1. On the 12th
-15th
February 1987 an Abrahamic conference was held in
Cordoba, Spain, with the participation of the Jews, Christians and some who
claim to be Muslims such as the Qadianis and Ismailis. The title of the
conference was “The International Dialogue for Abrahamic Unity”. The
outcome of this conference was the launch of a new college called Cordoba
College for the United Religions of Europe. It is also known as the Islamic
Cultural Centre or the Cordoba Centre for Islamic Research. The one who led
this campaign is the Christian Roger Garoodi. The main point of the
conference was to try to prove that there is common ground between the
members of the various religions.
2. In Egypt on the 21st
march 1987 the launch of the International Organisation
for the Believers or the United Believers was declared.
3. In the summer of 1990, the Religious Youth Club was established.
4. In April 1990, a new organisation called The United People was established.
This organisation launched a booklet that focuses on the common ground
between the three religions called The Religious Unity. In this book, they
abolished some of the most significant attributes of Islam such as the fact that
Islam abrogates all that was before it and that the Quran abrogates and
dominates all previous books.
5. A series of International conferences have been held calling for the unity of
religions in New York, Cordoba, and many other European and Middle
Eastern countries.
The United Believers declared their capital was $800,000 and if the organisation
was to be dissolved, all of its capital would go back to the Red Cross and to the
charities associated with the church.
The Effect of Interfaith
on Muslims and Islam
26
The United Believers consider the following representations or symbols:
● Charity (Rams Al-Ihsan) is the founder of the Red Cross.
● Evolution (Rams Al-Tatowal) is Darwin.
● Equality is Karl Marx.
● International peace for humanity or religious brotherhood is the Pope.
The United Believers adopt a banner composed of the following icons:
● The icon of the United Nations.
● The icon of the rainbow.
● The icon of the number seven which was the symbol of victory for them and
is the name of the 1st
ship that discovered the American continent and carried
Christianity to that continent.
There has been participation of some Muslims in most of the conferences and
seminars, even in the organisations and the joint International prayers, whether
they were paid to go, or were there by their own choice, we will leave the decision
about these people to Almighty Allah. One of the effects of Interfaith, in addition
to this, is that unfortunately the slogans, banners and the symbols of Interfaith have
reached the ears of the Muslims. The ideas of Interfaith have leaked into Muslim
countries and have been received by many foolish dreamers, who have put many
pens to work writing articles in support of Interfaith and many mouths have started
to deliver speeches, calling for similar conferences, clubs and seminars
In the Sharm Al-Sheikh conference held in Egypt in the month of Shawal 1416H,
many of the presidents of Muslim countries delivered speeches regarding the
common ground between the Abrahamic participants in the conference. Ironically
this conference gathered many Jews, Muslims, Christians and even communists.
On the 10th of October 1416H, it was announced that the holy book, composed of
the Quran, the Torah and the Bible, would be published.
In some countries, a decision was announced permitting newborn Muslims to have
Jewish names, after the assassination of the “Man of Peace” Rabeen. Interfaith is
spreading its message of Christianity and Judaism, they are spreading their mission
to apostatise the Muslims. Verily we face a decade of apostatising the Muslims to
Christianity and Judaism and we even see many Muslims struggling and striving
with the slogans of Interfaith. We see the Muslims participate in the celebrations
of Christianity, Easter and Christmas etc., and on televisions we witness joint
International religious ceremonies that even involve Sikhs and Buddhists etc.
We see the Christian leaders going to mosques and preaching to the Muslims and
the Muslims going to churches and performing prayers with them, like the apostate
Yasser Arafat. These are the steps that are demolishing Al-Wala and Al-Bara.
The Effect of Interfaith
on Muslims and Islam
27
Ultimately, this is just a summary of what the Jews and Christians promote in the
theoretical field for the unity of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. With the
descriptions, attributes and slogans of this new fashion “Interfaith”, they have been
able to establish churches and synagogues in Muslim countries. Interfaith has
entered the political arena in Muslim countries and is holding conferences,
seminars and establishing organisations in order to enter into the practical life of
Muslim society.
Under the pretext of globalisation and targeting global religious domination,
Interfaith is establishing global apostasy amongst the Muslims. A seed of that
declaration, in my own personal opinion was a man I came face to face with the
traitor, who misled many Muslims, known as Dr Rogue Garoodi, who represented
the Muslims at many Abrahamic conferences, but turned out not to be Muslim, as
many thought, but really a Christian. We must also bear in mind the existence of
many initiatives amongst the Jews and the Christians, to call for a dialogue
between the religions and Interfaith between various religions and cultures.
One of the most serious hidden distractions of the Abrahamic theory is the
comparative study between the three religions. Each religion competes with the
other to align his religion with the International values of peace, love, tranquillity,
security, human rights, brotherhood, compassion, charity etc. This alignment
merges all differentiation into one united religion (man made law) and this has
been recorded in the book The “Protocols of the wise Zionist” on page 78. The
science of religious studies and its evolution helps to remove the divinity and
holiness from religion and shows its Prophets as normal men who could be good
men or fakes. This is, in general, a summary of the Interfaith theory in three eras.
The Islamic Verdict for
Interfaith in General.
28
T h e I s l a m i c V e r d i c t f o r
I n t e r f a i t h i n G e n e r a l .
The Jews and Christians want to make Christianity, Judaism and Islam the same in
order to the stop the Jizya and what it represents. Jizya is not just an economic
transaction, a tax taken from the Kufar, rather Jizya represents the submission of
the Kuffar to Islam.
All (swt) says in the Qur’an, “Rule and judge by what ever Allah (swt) has
revealed”. Verily the call for the Interfaith theory using any of its slogans or
symbols is a call to unite the Deen of Islam, Al-Haq, the absolute truth, the Deen
which dominates and abrogates all other ways of life, with what the Jews and the
Christians believe in. Their Deen is falsehood and an evil religion. Interfaith is one
of the biggest conspiracies and plots against Islam and the Muslims. The Jews and
the Christians forsake their disputes and differences and gather on common
ground, which is their hatred and animosity towards Islam. They baggage
Interfaith with glossy slogans and send Messengers, with lies and fabrications,
inevitably leading to the most terrifying destiny for the Muslims. The Islamic
verdict on Interfaith is that it is an innovation at the Aqueeda level, it is a call for
Kufr and misguidance and leads to inevitable apostasy from Islam. Interfaith is a
contradiction to all that is known in Islam at the belief level, by necessity. It
violates the sanctity of Almighty Allah, his books, the Messengers and all previous
prophets. It invalidates the domination and abrogation of the Quran, over whatever
was before; it invalidates the finality of the message of Islam and invalidates the
Prophethood of the final Messenger Muhammad (saw). The trinity views call for
Kufr and the one who promotes Kufr is a Kafir. It is prohibited for Muslims to
participate in or to attend any Interfaith conference and seminar, even if they reject
the Interfaith theory. Therefore the fatwa is as follows.
It is not allowed for a Muslim who believes Allah (swt) is the Lord, Islam is the
Deen and Muhammad (saw) is the final Messenger to respond to the call of
Interfaith. It is not allowed to join its organisation, participate in its activities or
attribute oneself with its activities or seminars or any type of Interfaith gathering.
It is compulsory for Muslims to reject the Interfaith call, oppose it, warn the
Muslims about it and about the consequence of believing in its values, i.e. that the
consequences are apostasy. We must seek reward from Allah (swt) by exposing
Interfaith, by putting hatred in the hearts of the people towards it and by showing
all types of rejection towards it.
The Interfaith organisations must be thrown out of Muslims lands, they must be
boycotted, isolated and sent into exile. Those who call for it must be cut from their
roots, so that their beliefs are confined to their hearts. We must not permit any of
The Islamic Verdict for
Interfaith in General.
29
the slogans of Interfaith to reach the public arena. It is compulsory for the Muslims
to establish the Islamic State and appoint an International Khalifah who will
establish the Hudoud of apostasy for the one who believes in Interfaith. We must
call for the Hudoud as protection for the security of the Deen of Allah, as an
attribute of discipline for those who want to play with the Deen of Allah, as an
attribute of obedience to Allah (swt) and his Messenger and in order for the pure
Shari’ah to prevail, i.e. the pure Deen of Allah.
Verily the Jews and Christians have received the Interfaith theory and verily they
are eligible to it and deserve it, because they do not refer to the true religion, their
Deen is full of distortion and their religion is false. Their Deen is either false,
distorted or contains some remnants of truth that are abrogated by Islam in any
case. As far as Muslims are concerned it is not allowed for them to have anything
to do with the call and theory of Interfaith whatsoever, because the Muslims
belong to a divine belief, a message of absolute truth which is a whole and
complete belief, in the basis, justice and mercy of Islam. Let every Muslim know
the reality of Interfaith, that it has a philosophical inclination and upbringing, its
objectives are atheist, but it appears in a religious uniform in order to mislead,
distort and destroy the belief of Muslims in order to apostatise them. Interfaith
targets Islam and the Muslims wherever they are and it manifests itself in the
following points:
1. The stage of distortion of Islam, in order to establish confusion. It challenges
Islam with a list of doubts and conjectures, in order that Muslims live with a
confused soul full of rejection or a soul with tranquillity and security
2. It aims to counteract the Islamic revival and the Islamic groups.
3. It attacks Islam in its own basis, targeting to demolish Islam and affecting
Muslims by removing Iman from their hearts and by burying it.
4. It aims to demolish the Islamic bond between the Muslims and replace it with
religious brotherhood, i.e. the brotherhood of the Jews and the Christians.
5. It censors Muslim writers and cuts their tongues from making Takfeer against
the Jews, the Christians and others who Allah (swt) and his Messenger
declared unbelievers if they do not declare Islam and become Muslims.
6. It targets to invalidate the Islamic rule regarding apostasy, which obliges
Muslims to stick to Islam and not to embrace Christianity, Judaism or any
other belief, it invalidates capital punishment for apostasy.
7. It targets to make Muslims give up the head of the spear of Islam, Al-Jihaad Fi
Sabillilah, because it includes Jihad against people of the books, for Allah
(swt) says,
The Islamic Verdict for
Interfaith in General.
30
“Fight those who believe not in Allah (swt) nor the Last Day nor hold
that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah (swt) and His apostle
nor acknowledge the religion of truth (even if they are) of the People of the
Book until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves
subdued.” [EMQ 9:29].
Verily Jihad against the Kufar, the enemy of Allah, puts fear in their hearts and
terrifies them, this will give Islam victory, humiliate its enemy and put happiness
in heart of believers, for Allah (swt) says,
“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power
including steeds of war to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of
Allah (swt) and your enemies and others besides whom ye may not know
but whom Allah (swt) doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause
of Allah (swt) shall be repaid unto you and ye shall not be treated
unjustly.”[EMQ 8:60].
It is very strange how Muslims have given up the legitimate strength of
preparation and Jihaad. This will lead to the assassination of Jihaad and to the
burial of it. They already interpret Jihaad as defensive and not as submission
to the law of Islam and the Jizyah. Now they call Jihad terrorism and the
people run away from it. The Muslims do not even want to mention the word
Jihaad, let alone perform the obligation of taking Jizyah from non-Muslims.
The obligation of Jizyah on Jews and Christian, if they do not embrace Islam,
is a sign of the dignity of the Muslims and a sign of submission of the
unbelievers to Islam. That is why the Jews tried a lot, from the 4th
century
hijri, to invalidate the obligation of Jizyah on them. They even fabricated a
letter from Muhammad (saw) in the beginning of the 4th
century. This letter
claimed that Muhammad (saw) wrote a treaty for them after Khayber, it
supposedly forgave them from paying the Jizyah for good. When the governor
of Damascus showed the letter to the scholars, the Imam of Tafseer,
Muhammad Bin Jurar Al-Tabari (died 310 hijri) immediately declared it was a
false and fake letter that faked the handwriting of Muhammad (saw) and his
signature. The testimony of Muawiya Ibn Abi Sufyan was what exposed the
fake, he embraced Islam after conquering Medina after Khayber, whereas they
claimed this document was written by Muhammad (saw) in year of Khayber,
with Muawiya as a supposed witness and this proved that the letter attributed
to Muhammad (saw) by the Jews was a fake. The Jews continued to use this
false letter from time to time, but every time they presented it, a scholar
The Islamic Verdict for
Interfaith in General.
31
exposed it. In the time of Al-Katb Al-Bagdadi (died 463 hijri), they presented
it again and he too said it was false. They produced it again in the time of Ibn-
Taymiyyah (died 728 hijri), he exposed them saying, “This letter is fabricated
from you, about the prophet regarding the payment of Jizya, the evidence
against your claim is that, you said the Prophet wrote it on the day of
Khayber, in the presence of Saad Bin Muaz. Saad died two years before
Khayber, after the battle of Khandaq and during the time of Banu Kuraytha.”
8. The Christians fabricated the document of Saint Catherine, which is displayed
on the wall in a place of worship on Sina Mountain. Under the pretext that St
Catherine was a believer, according to the letter, they called for Interfaith and
joint prayers.
9. The Interfaith theory targets to destroy the fundamental basis of Islam, Al-
Wala Wal-Bara and Al-Hubu Fillah Wal-Bugdu Fillah. Therefore Interfaith
targets to remove the barrier of Al-Bara of the Muslims from the Kuffar,
which is to keep distance away from the Kuffar and not to take them as
friends or allies, and to worship Allah (swt) by declaring dislike for them.
10. Interfaith formulates ideas of hatred towards the Deen, in the guise of unity of
religion, in order to divide and separate the Muslims from their Deen and to
isolate the Shari’ah i.e. the Quran and Sunnah from their lives. They try to
inject Kufr ideas and thoughts into the Islamic culture, passing them off as
Islamic points of view. This will empty Islam from its substance so it will
never be looked at as the intellectual leader. That will facilitate the isolation of
Islam from life’s affairs and will help the enemy of Islam to reach their
objective i.e. to dominate the world without any resistance.
11. Interfaith aims to diminish Islam from the highest position, its objective is to
topple Islam from its prominence and dignity and make it equal to the false
and pagan religions.
12. Interfaith aims to level the path for missionaries to carry Christianity and
Judaism, by removing all obstacles and defusing any potential Islamic
resistance.
13. The ultimate aim of Interfaith is to complete the Kufr domination by the Jews,
Christians, atheists and communists all over the world in general and the
Muslim world and Mecca in particular. The apostasy of the whole world
facilitates globalisation by the Kufr thoughts, ideas and way of life. They will
establish joint and free markets where Islam has no say whatsoever, where the
Deen will not interfere with the moral values at all, haram earnings and usury
will become a way of life and unlawful sexual corruption will be everywhere.
The people of good conscience will be removed and normal human nature will
be replaced with evil ideas and thought. The best example of the agenda of
The Islamic Verdict for
Interfaith in General.
32
Interfaith is the conference for world development and population control
which was held in Cairo and the world women conference held in Peking etc.
Unfortunately the Interfaith theory has attracted many non-practising Muslims and
many from those who have adopted secularism as their religion, until some of
them have declared their apostasy by agreeing to publish a combination of the
Quran, Torah and Injeel together as one book.
Verily the call for Interfaith theory is one of the hardest fitna and tests facing the
Muslims these days. The Interfaith theory mixes Islam with Kufr, Haq with Baatil,
guidance with misguidance, Marouf with Munkar, Tawheed with Shirk, Sunnah
with Bida and even man with women etc.
Verily this is a test from Allah (swt) and Allah (swt) will guide and misguide
whomever he wishes,
“And Moses chose seventy of his people for Our place of meeting: when
they were seized with violent quaking he prayed: "O my Lord! if it had
been Thy will Thou couldst have destroyed long before both them and me:
wouldst Thou destroy us for the deeds of the foolish one among us? This
is no more than Thy trial: by it Thou causest whom Thou wilt to stray
and Thou leadest whom Thou wilt into the right path. Thou art our
protector: so forgive us and give us Thy mercy; for Thou art the best of
those who forgive.” [EMQ 7:155]
In summary, the fatwa for those who call to unite Islam with any other religion is
clear cut and unambiguous apostasy and explicit Kufr, because the Interfaith
theory declares what contradicts Islam clearly in its foundation and in its branches,
in its belief and practise. The consensus is that the Interfaith theory is apostasy, it
is not a matter of disagreement and dispute amongst the scholars of Islam or
amongst the masses of the Muslims. Verily we are in the final trial, we face a new
battle against the cross worshipers i.e. the Christians, the Jews and the pagans, who
have the most animosity towards the believers.
The Absolute Facts of the
Deen of Allah
33
T h e A b s o l u t e F a c t s o f t h e
D e e n o f A l l a h
The first fact from the essence of the Deen is that all of the previous Messengers of
Allah (swt) called the people to believe in God. They called for Al-Tawheed, to
worship Allah (swt) exclusively and not to associate any other being with him.
They taught the people to be aware of Allah’s names and attributes and to be
aware of what was before this life. That is common for all the Ambiya and is
mentioned in the Quran when Allah (swt) says,
“The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined
on Noah--the which We have sent by inspiration to thee--and that which
We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus: Namely that ye should
remain steadfast in Religion and make no divisions therein: to those who
worship other things than Allah (swt) hard is the (way) to which thou
callest them. Allah (swt) chooses to Himself those whom He pleases and
guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).” [EMQ 42:13]
“For We assuredly sent amongst every People an apostle (with the
Command) "Serve Allah (swt) and eschew Evil": of the people were some
whom Allah (swt) guided and some on whom Error became inevitably
(established). So travel through the earth and see what was the end of
those who denied (the Truth).” [16:36]
“Not an apostle did We send before thee without this inspiration sent by
Us to him: that there is no god but I; therefore worship and serve Me.”
[EMQ Al-Ambiya:25]
In Bukhari and Muslim the Hadith of Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger
Muhammad (saw) said, “We Prophets and Messengers are brothers, our mothers
are different but our Deen is one”. They came to deliver the Message of God, to
order the lives of the people. They called people to abide by the Command of
Allah (swt) in all spheres of life. They made the people aware of what is before
this life. In order to get benefit in this life and to prevent harm. Allah (swt)
confirmed the right path, that those who seek the lessons of Allah, the right path is
Al-Islam.
“I have only created jinns and men that they may worship Me.”[EMQ
51:56]
The Absolute Facts of the
Deen of Allah
34
Allah (swt) informed us that Jews and Christians are outside that right path. Allah
(swt) informed the people about their decreed destiny of death, punishment in the
grave, resurrection, accountability, paradise and hellfire.
“Alif. Lam. Mim.”
“This is the Book; in it is guidance sure without doubt to those who
fear Allah.”
“Who believe in the Unseen are steadfast in prayer and spend out of
what We have provided for them.”
“And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee and sent before thy
time and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter.” [EMQ
2:1-4]

Allah (swt) declared the Jews to be unbelievers, in the Quran he (SWT|) says,
“The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah (swt) and the Christians call Christ
the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths; (in this) they but
imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them:
how they are deluded away from the truth!”[EMQ 9:30]
Allah (swt) cursed them as a people of mischief,
“Except for those who repent before they fall into your power: in that case
know that Allah (swt) is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.”[EMQ 5:34]
He called them a people of fabrication,
“But because of their breach of their Covenant We cursed them and made
their hearts grow hard: they change the words from their (right) places
and forget a good part of the Message that was sent them nor wilt thou
cease to find them barring a few ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive
them and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah (swt) loveth those who are
kind.” [EMQ 5:13]
Allah (swt) described the Jews as the Cursed Ummah and as disbelievers because
they are fabricators. They fabricate stories about the Ambiya that even violate their
own belief. The Jews claim that Suleiman, the Messenger of Allah, was an
apostate and worshipped Idols (Genesis 1 no 5, Manuscripts of the 1st
kings). The
Jews attribute, to the Messenger of God Haroon, the worship of a golden cow
(Genesis 32 no 1, Manuscripts of The Departure). However Allah, informed us
that Haroon did not worship the cow and that it was in fact the Samaris who did
this. The Jews say that Ibraheem (as) offered his wife Saarah to Pharone in order
to get some sort of benefit (Genesis 12 no 14 Manuscripts of Formation). The Jews
also say that the Messenger Lut (as) drank alcohol until he became drunk and then
fornicated with his daughter (Genesis 19 no 30 Manuscripts of Formation).
Moreover the Jews attribute fornication to the Messenger Dawood (as) saying that
he committed fornication with a woman who subsequently delivered Suleiman
(Genesis 11 no 11 Manuscript of Sumyl the 2nd
).
Allah’s Declaration for the
Jews, Christian and Pagans

Let us come to what Allah (swt) says about the Christians. Allah (swt) describes
the Christians in the Quran to be the misguided Ummah. Allah (swt) calls them
Kafir, he says,
“The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah (swt) and the Christians call Christ
the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths; (in this) they but
imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them:
how they are deluded away from the truth! “ [EMQ Al-Tawba 9:30]
Christians are the cross worshippers who insult Allah (swt) and they swear against
him like no other human ever swore at God. They believe in the trinity and claim
that Allah (swt) is the lover of Mary, Allah (swt) says,
“They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in
derogation of Allah (swt) and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of
Mary; Yet they were commanded to worship but one Allah: there is no
god but He. Praise and glory to him: (far is He) from having the parents
they associate (with him).” [EMQ 9: 31]
“They do blaspheme who say: Allah (swt) is one of three in a Trinity: for
there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of
blasphemy) verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among
them.” [EMQ 5:73]
“O people of the Book! commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of
Allah (swt) aught but truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more
than) an Apostle of Allah (swt) and His Word which He bestowed on
Mary and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah (swt) and
His Apostles. Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for
Allah (swt) is One Allah: glory be to him: (for Exalted is He) above
having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth.
And enough is Allah (swt) as a Disposer of affairs.” [EMQ 4:171]
Allah’s Declaration for the
Jews, Christian and Pagans
37
Moreover the Christians claim that the Grandfather of Suleiman (as) and Dawood
(as) was an illegitimate child. Allah (swt) exposed both the Jews and the Christians
and disassociated them from the Millah of Ibraheem (as). In fact Allah (swt) says
that they are liars,
“And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase
their souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world:
and he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the righteous.” [EMQ
2:140]
“Ye people of the Book! why dispute ye about Abraham when the Law
and the Gospel were not revealed till after him? Have ye no
understanding?”“Ah! ye are those who fell to disputing (even) in matters
of which ye had some knowledge! but why dispute ye in matters of which
ye have no knowledge? It is Allah (swt) Who knows and ye who know
not!”
“Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian but he was true in faith and
bowed his will to Allah's (which is Islam) and he joined not gods with
Allah.”[EMQ 3:65-67]
Moreover, Allah (swt) informs us that the only people that can be attributed to
Ibraheem (as), who has 18 messengers from amongst his descendants, is the
Messenger Muhammad (saw) and the believers, for Allah (swt) says,
“Without doubt among men the nearest of kin to Abraham are those who
follow him as are also this Apostle and those who believe; and Allah (swt)
is the Protector of those who have faith.” [EMQ 3:68]
Allah (swt) exposes all of their falsehood, for every Muslim to see and counters all
the claims that they are close to Ibraheem. They are pagans who associate Sons
with God.
“They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (to
salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the religion of Abraham
the true and he joined not gods with Allah."”
Allah’s Declaration for the
Jews, Christian and Pagans
38
“Say ye: "We believe in Allah (swt) and the revelation given to us and to
Abraham Isma`il Isaac Jacob and the Tribes and that given to Moses and
Jesus and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord we make no
difference between one and another of them and we bow to Allah (swt) (in
Islam)."”
“So if they believe as ye believe they are indeed on the right path; but if
they turn back it is they who are in schism; but Allah (swt) will suffice
thee as against them and He is the All-Hearing the All- Knowing.”
[EMQ 2:135-137]
If we contemplate upon the book of Allah, we find that Allah (swt) sent the Quran
in order to revive the Deen of Ibraheem (as) and the revivers of the Deen are the
Muslims.
“And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive (with sincerity and under
discipline): He has chosen you and has imposed no difficulties on you in
religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named
you Muslims both before and in this (Revelation); that the Apostle may be
a witness for you and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular
Prayer give regular Charity and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector
the Best to protect and the Best to help!” [EMQ 22:78]
Finally, it is compulsory for every Muslim to reject the Interfaith theory, it is a
matter which they must know by necessity. Verily the Jews and Christians have
only one objective and that is to apostasies the Muslims and to divert them from
their Deen, for Allah (swt) says,
“They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say:
"Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah
(swt) to prevent access to the path of Allah (swt) to deny Him to prevent
access to the Sacred Mosque and drive out its members. Tumult and
oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you
until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you
turn back from their faith and die in unbelief their works will bear no
fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be Companions of the Fire
and will abide therein.” [EMQ 2:217]
Allah’s Declaration for the
Jews, Christian and Pagans
39
Allah (swt) says the Jews and Christians wish that you would become apostates
and equal to them,
“They but wish that ye should reject faith as they do and thus be on the
same footing (as they): but take not friends from their ranks until they flee
in the way of Allah (swt) (from what is forbidden). But if they turn
renegades seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any
case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.” [EMQ 4:89]
Verily the Jews and Christians, who are calling for Interfaith, will please you with
their tongues and say, “we are believers like you” but their hearts reject and hate
us,
“Ah! ye are those who love them but they love you not though ye believe
in the whole of the Book. When they meet you they say "We believe"; but
when they are alone they bite off the very tips of their fingers at you in
their rage. Say: "Perish in your rage; Allah (swt) knoweth well all the
secrets of the heart."” [EMQ 3:119]
“Hatred is what is uttered from their mouths and what they conceal in
their hearts is far greater” [EMQ 3:118]
It is compulsory for Muslims to believe that the Ummah of the Jews is the Cursed
Ummah and to believe that the Christians are the Misguided Ummah. They do not
believe in the Shari’ah of Islam and Allah (swt) says whosoever believes in
something other than Islam, it is not acceptable and that he is a failure.
“"This is what We rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of
Wisdom."” [EMQ 3:58]
Allah’s Declaration for the
Jews, Christian and Pagans
40
It is compulsory for the Ummah of Islam, the Ummah of the Kiblah to believe that
the Ummah of Islam, the Ummah of Haq are the only ones who follow the truth.
Our Quran is the only authentic book that exists and the Shari’ah of Islam
abrogates all that was before it. The current Judaism and Christianity and the
Torah and Bible are fabricated and evil. Verily Islam is the Deen of Haq and
anything else is Baatil. Allah (swt) forbids us to take the Kufar as allies and
obliges us to dislike the Jews and the Christians because of their belief, we must
not be inclined towards them until they believe in Allah, Islam and the Messenger.
Allah (swt) says,
“O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends
and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he
amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah
(swt) guideth not a people unjust.” [EMQ 5:51]
“Fight those who believe not in Allah (swt) nor the Last Day nor hold
that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah (swt) and His apostle
nor acknowledge the religion of truth (even if they are) of the People of the
Book until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves
subdued.” [EMQ 9:29]
Every Muslim must believe that those who do not embrace Islam, e.g. Christians,
Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, Atheist etc are Kuffar and must be called Kafir. They are the
people we dislike and the people of Hellfire, for Allah (swt) says,
“Say: "O men! I am sent unto you all as the apostle of Allah (swt) to
Whom belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth: there is no
god but He: it is He that giveth both life and death. So believe in Allah
(swt) and His apostle the unlettered Prophet who believed in Allah (swt)
and His words: follow him that (so) ye may be guided."” [EMQ 7:158]
In Sahih Muslim the Messenger Muhammad (saw) is reported to have said
“by the one in whose hand is my soul, whoever heard about me from the
Jews or Christians and died without believing in Islam is from the people
of hellfire.”

The Main Objectives
of the Interfaith Theory
42
T h e M a i n O b j e c t i v e s
o f t h e I n t e r f a i t h T h e o r y
The main objective of the Interfaith theory can be classified into three:
1. To make the Muslim apostate
2. To isolate Islam from the life’s affairs.
3. To make Muslims the ambassadors of Kufr.
Verily these above objectives contradict the role of the Ummah which Allah (swt)
has obliged upon Muslims to play in their life, which is as the leading Ummah
who implement his (swt) command in all spheres of life and carry it to the whole
world. Muslims should be the example to follow for all mankind, because it is
reported in the Hadith of the Messenger Muhammad that he said as confirmation
for Muslim leadership “The Messenger Muhammad (saw) said, “if my brother
Musa was alive he would have no choice but to follow me” and Allah (swt) says,
“you are the best nation sent to mankind”.
The Key Figures of Interfaith
Amongst the Secularist
43
T h e K e y F i g u r e s o f I n t e r f a i t h
A m o n g s t t h e S e c u l a r i s t
Sheikh Muhammad Abdu 1849-1905
The Interfaith theory in the last quarter of the century started with the agreement
between the English priest Isaac Taylor and Sheikh Muhammad Abdu during their
meeting in Damascus in 1883 and agreed to establish the unity between the two
religions. He called for the conference Al-Talif Wal Taqrib to unite Islam with
Christianity and that was in Beirut in 1953 and then in Cairo in 1954. One of the
most dangerous theories of Muhammad Abdu, which is one of the pillars of
secularism, made the concept of Dar Al-Harb and Dar Al-Islam vanish, because of
his Interfaith theory and not to mention Al-Wala Wal Bara, not to mention the
Aqueeda theory of the Al-Wala, the alliance to Allah (swt) and his Messenger and
ideas of Wal Bara, purification from the Kuffar. Not only did he call for
cooperation with the British government, he also called for the alliance with the
British under the umbrella of that is cooperation with the Kuffar and it is not fully
haram according to his Interfaith theory.
Sheikh Abdul Rehman
Al-Kawakibi (1902CE)
He called for secularism and rejected any religious authority, in religion or
political authority explicitly. He called for full integration and Interfaith and more
over requested Muslims, Jews and Christians to set aside there religion, he said, “I
call all the people to forget the mistakes, errors and atrocities of their grandfathers,
verily this would be an excuse for the present extremists to build on in order to
misguide you from unity based on nationalism. Australia and America have built
their system on a non-religious basis, let us think about that and look after our
life’s affairs, let religions deal with the issues of the hereafter. Let us come to some
common ground, long live the Ummah, long live the country, long live freedom.”
Sheikh Refa’t Rafe’
Al-Tahtawi (1873CE)
He is one of those who called for Interfaith and the oneness of all religions after
the French western culture affected him. He wrote books entitled Manahejul Al-
Baab the schools of shrewdness, he said, “nationalism is related to the land and
country. It appears in the form of patriotism, patriotism becomes the primary
source of all patriotic action. Whatever is a duty upon Muslims towards Muslims
should be a duty towards Muslims or patriotic non-Muslims.” Five years spent
Paris (1826-1831 CE) by this Azhari Sheikh was enough to turn him of him into a
beast, cannot call him Muslim towards Islam or Kufr. This is situation of most of
the people who studied in West on sponsorship (sent abroad). Verily the

44
messenger Muhammad’s SAW prophesies were absolutely correct when he said,
“You will follow the ways of the people, span by span and arm by arm, until when
they enter the hole of a lizard you will enter it.” He was asked, “Who are they, are
they the Jews and Christians?” Muhammad (saw) said, “Indeed, who else.”
Sheikh Ahmed Lutvi As-Sayyid
and Sheikh Tahar Hussein
He is one of the faithful students of Muhammad Abdu, he completed the steps
started by Muhammad Abdu in the operation of Interfaith and Westernisations, in
order to remove all barriers between Muslims and Kafir. In the Interfaith
conference held in Cairo in 1986, he suggested that we establish a secular
university similar to French universities to oppose Al-Azhar University, which
they claim was threatening the church of Christ. Verily the followers of Interfaith
fulfilled their recommendation two years later. Saaid Zaghloul, Sheikh Ahmed
Lutvi As-Sayyid, Sheikh Taher Hussein and many others established the Egyptian
University. One of the prerequisite conditions of its establishment was that it
should not be specific to Allah (swt) or any particular gender or religion, rather it
should be for all people of Egypt regardless of gender or religion rather they made
the arbitrator between them for their national brotherhood.
Sheikh Ali Abdul Razik
He is one of the most dangerous personalities who levelled the path for the
Interfaith and westernisation, he declared his apostasy in his book Al-Islam Wa
Asuul Wa Hukm Islam and the foundation of ruling, in his book he denied
completely that Islam has any system of life or has anything to do with leadership
or politics, he combined the oriental style of misquoting and basing arguments on
misquoted and fabricated text, in order to distort Islam and the style of those
Sufism and Sectarianism who make interpretation which is far away from the
meaning of the text. Moreover he said Islam is like Judaism and Christianity, it is
only spiritual and about the relationship between man and god and the relationship
in life’s affairs but not with politics. He said one of my best references and
evidences for refutations for those who claim that Islam has a Khilafah system, in
the detailed arguments of the “renowned great scholar” Sir Thomas Arlond in his
book the Khilafah, especially in the 2nd
and 3rd
chapter where he said he has
enough convincing evidences.
Dr. Muhammad Umarah
He is one of those who called to unite mankind under one new Deen, he stated his
views clearly, that the Jews and Christians nowadays are believers Muslims
(submitters) and Muahidoun (monotheists) and there is no harm if they disbelieve
in the Prophethood of Muhammad (saw) or the Message of Islam. He said if the
The Key Figures of Interfaith
Amongst the Secularist
45
people of the book follow the previous messages before Muhammad (saw) and
believe in the previous messengers, even if they reject Muhammad (saw) and his
Prophethood, if they do good deeds and their rejection does not take them out of
the framework of one Deen nor from the Deen of Islam.
Dr Hassan Hanafi
He went further than that he claimed that there is nothing called Deen rather there
is heritage (Torath), which is subject to be developed and utilised according to the
situation. Verily the old heritage has no value in itself as an aim or means and it
has no element of progression because it is part of the backward history or one of
its manifestations. Therefore we should look to the new heritage, which is based
more on scientific and universal manner, which we are capable to cultivate in
every society.
Dr Hasan Turabi
One of the most prominent key players of Interfaith and westernisation is Dr
Hassan Abdullah Turabi, but he is unique among all these rationalist and
orientalist and those who were impressed by the western civilisation and called for
the westernisation, after he drank the syrup of the French and British culture,
verily the bird gathers together with its own kind. If we look to the common
element between Muhammad Abdu and Tatari and Muhammad Amara and Hassan
Hanafi and Hassan Turabi we find them all and many moderates like them, we find
them defeated psychologically and exceed in their own admiration for the west and
its allies and Dr Hassan Turabi is one of the most dangerous of all for the
following reasons:
1. The efforts of the above false Messiahs of the western civilisation never
exceeded past the theoretical side, whereas Dr Turabi went to the
practical side of this field, especially due to the fact that he was given the
capability of the State of Sudan, to be put under his own authority for
years, until recently he was put under house of arrest. And two things
make that issue fulfilled was the economic problem, the political pressure
from the western countries on leaders and the economic embargoes
waved at Sudan, the second reason the war to Christianise the Muslims in
Sudan and the war in South Sudan which cost the government a of lot of
lives and resources. These things made the people of Sudan not to take
notice from dangers of Interfaith ideas thinking it may reduce the external
pressures.
2. The capability of Dr Turabi and his tricky manoeuvring whereas
sometime it appear that the call for Interfaith was just political
manoeuvring in order to divert and cool the Christian public opinion and
The Key Figures of Interfaith
Amongst the Secularist
46
in order that the Sudanese government would not be harmed and to say
Islam is not Allah (swt) call in Sudan, on other hand it look like he just
call non Muslims to Islam to open dialogue in order to remove all doubt
in their minds and sometimes he raised big ? in his own belief when he
raised some doubtful points. However between all this variety of
contradictions he established wide platform which led for the Abrahamic
faith of the believers front which later was known as the Abrahamic
party.
3. The presence of minority Christians in both Sudan besides the call for the
new world order and globalisation all this facilitate to mislead the student
movement in Sudan. And the effort of Turabi in field of Interfaith
manifest in holding conf, such as the Islamic movement and dialogue, the
call for the establishment of the Abrahamic party, form of the Sudan ass
for religious Interfaith, participation of Muslims in celebration of
Christians, visit churches, permit for new church, repaint old church,
giving Christians in media slot every Sunday morning for 4 hours, intro
topics in the high college of Sudan called religious comparative studies.
Turabi declare defending himself when he was under attack by many scholars
defending his interface call “the national unity is one of out biggest concerns
and we in the Islamic front will reach this national unity when we become
Muslims on the foundation Abrahamic faith which brings us and Christians
together with historical heritage and joined religion and with historical
balance of faith and morality, we don’t want the brotherhood of Deen to
because animosity with other faith rather we want brotherhood of with Allah.”
It is really strange and amazing how Turabi shamelessly described Jews and
Christians to be believers in many of his talks to justify the Interfaith call. And
joined between the contradiction, between Tawheed and Shirk and Iman and
atheism, and Islam and Kufr.
May Allah (swt) bless Ibn Taymiyyah he said “The thing that we submit to as
Muhammad (saw) has been sent with Allah’s (swt) Message to man and Jin
and to all people whether they are people of book or others and whosoever
does not believe in him is Kafir and deserves punishment from Allah (swt)
and Jihaad from Muslims to impose on him the law and order of Islam
regardless of whether he believes in it or not and this is agreed by all
Muslims.” Moreover Hassan Turabi said that the main objective of Interfaith
is not to discuss belief matters, but rather to look to the common ground in the
moral values and call for moral values. How could Jews and Christians live
together in the same place as a brotherhood and ally and support each other
each other in the same country. Ironically in his speech when he wanted to
The Key Figures of Interfaith
Amongst the Secularist
47
express the word conference or meeting he used the word Mafhal (a
freemason term for gathering) was this freemason term used by accident does
Interfaith the Freemasons have the same objective.
The Main Causes of the
Success of Interfaith

T h e M a i n C a u s e s o f t h e
S u c c e s s o f I n t e r f a i t h
The Main causes for the success of the Interfaith call amongst the Muslims
can be attributed to for main points:
1. Ignorance about the Deen , its foundations and branches.
2. The intellectual and psychological defeat, which makes the defeated not
able to distinguish between Haq and Baatil.
3. The fear of the Kuffar and their strength.
4. The benefit and the interest

The International movements call to gather people together based on nationality
and humanity without any consideration for religion, they include movements such
as freemasons or the humanity movement or otherwise known as the Zionists,
spiritualists, communists, the rotary club and the Lions clubs and the “hidden
forces” such as the Jehovah Witnesses and the callers of globalisation and post
secularism. All these types and calls contradict Islam from two main angles.
1. The one who does not believe that the non-Muslims are Kafir or doubt their
Kufr or authenticate their religion. Allah (swt) described Islam to be the
absolute truth and said there is nothing after that except Dallal.
“Such is Allah your real Cherisher and Sustainer: apart from Truth what
(remains) but error? How then are ye turned away?” [EMQ 10:32]
Allah (swt) described Islam to be Al-Haq and everything else is Baatil
falsehood, for Allah (swt) said the Haq has come and the falsehood has been
perished and verily the false hood will perish
“If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life) We readily grant
them--such things as We will to such persons as We will: in the end have
We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein disgraced and
rejected.” [EMQ 17:18]
Verily the call of Allah (swt) is the Haq and what you call that differs from
this is the falsehood
“If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life) We readily grant
them--such things as We will to such persons as We will: in the end have
We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein disgraced and
rejected.” [EMQ 22:26]
Allah (swt) refuted any call for Interfaith, he (swt) said “the only Deen Allah
(swt) except is the Deen of Islam
“Do they seek for other than the Religion of Allah? While all creatures in
the heavens and on earth have willing or unwilling bowed to His Will
(accepted Islam) and to Him shall they all be brought back.” [EMQ 3:83]

2. The one who allies with the Kufar or cooperate with them in their superiority
over Muslims is Kaffir for Allah (swt) says
“Allah (swt) forbid us to ally Kuffar and warns us from them
“There did Zakariya pray to his Lord saying: "O my Lord! grant unto me
from Thee a progeny that is pure; for Thou art He that heareth prayer!"”
[EMQ 3:38]
“O ye who believe! take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks;
they will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: rank hatred
has already appeared from their mouths; what their hearts conceal is far
worse. We have made plain to you the Signs if ye have wisdom.” [EMQ
3:118]
“O ye who believe! take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks;
they will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: rank hatred
has already appeared from their mouths; what their hearts conceal is far
worse. We have made plain to you the Signs if ye have wisdom.” [EMQ
9:32]
Islam order us and if anybody ever studied the Aqaid in relation to Al-Wala and
Al-Bara, he will realise the contradiction, and some of the forms of the Mualat to
the Kuffar
1. To consent to their call is a consent to their Kufr and Allah (swt) said
“whosoever follow something differ to Islam Allah (swt) never accept from
them…[EMQ ??]
2. Taking them as assistants and supporters
“O ye who believe! take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks;
they will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: rank hatred
has already appeared from their mouths; what their hearts conceal is far
worse. We have made plain to you the Signs if ye have wisdom.” [EMQ
3:118]
3. Their admiration and love towards them and Allah (swt) forbid that and call it
type of Muallat
Interfaith and International
Development Organisations
51
“Thou wilt not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day
loving those who resist Allah and His Apostle even though they were
their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. For such He
has written Faith in their hearts and strengthened them with a spirit from
Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow
to dwell therein (for ever). Allah will be well pleased with them and they
with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Truly it is the Party of Allah that
will achieve Felicity.” [EMQ 58:22]
4. Complement them and compromise one of the signs of the Muallat
5. Appoint them to be in charge of affairs of the Muslims. And Allah (swt)
forbade that.
6. Accept their deeds and imitate them to the level where people start to make
them as role models of Jew and Christians.
7. Receive them with big smile in and elevate them especially when we saw
pope visit Sudan and was received with huge respect and declare whole day,
day of welcome, ad built huge cross that needed crane to lift it and Turabi
receive pope with big smile and happiness that we never see when he receive
Muslims.
8. Praise them most of the Interfaith people praise Christianity and praise its
schools and even put their own children in the Christian schools. And
mentioned in the constitution of the Interfaith that each one of us must respect
the religion of the others, how could Muslims respect the religion that starts
by saying the father the son and holy spirit is one god
9. Dignify them with big title such as her majesty the queen, his reference so and
so, his lordship the pope of the judge may Allah (swt) bless the Khalifah
Haroon A-Rasheed wrote a letter and addressed it o the dog of the Romans.
10. Celebrate their festivals and join them in their worship and ritual acts in the
name of Interfaith and we have seen that a lot from the apostate Zaki Badawi
and the MCB.

  • 5. Introduction 5 I n t r o d u c t i o n All Praise is due to Allah (swt), the Lord of all creation. The one who has guided us to the straight path and completed his Deen as a mercy upon us, all thanks are to him who made us Muslims and made Islam the final message for mankind, which abrogates all previous messages, and glory be to the one who sent the final message Al-Islam, for Allah (swt) says, “Verily this is My Way leading straight: follow it: follow not (other) paths: they will scatter you about from His (great) path: thus doth He command you that ye may be righteous.” [EMQ 6:153] [EMQ 5:15-16] Allah (swt) promised those that follow Islam alone that they will be in paradise, “Allah (swt) hath promised to believer’s men and women gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss. But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allah: that is the supreme felicity.” [EMQ 9:72] Allah (swt) declares humiliation and hellfire for those who do not die as Muslims, “Those who reject (Truth) among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists will be in hell-fire to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.”[EMQ 98:6]
  • 6. The Different Nations 6 T h e D i f f e r e n t N a t i o n s Al-Ummah Al-Magdoobah Ibn Qayyim in his book Hidayat ul-Hayara said, “The Jews are the cursed nation who Allah (swt) is angry with, they are the people of lies, fabrications, treachery, conspiracies and are murderers of Prophets and Messengers. They are people of usury and bribery, the filthiest nation and have the lowest of characters, farthest from mercy and closest to revenge. They have the habit of animosity and hatred. Their attributes are aggression and disputing, of black magic and sorcery, lies and tricks, they don’t hold any sanctity for those who differ with them and do not respect any covenant and sanctity with any believers. They will have no rights or kindness for the one who agrees with them. There is no fairness, justice, security or tranquillity for the one who associates with them or the one who mixes with them. For the ones whom they work for, they give bad advice. The wise amongst them are filthy and the experts among them are cheats and the good among them (God forbid) are not really Jews. They are the most narrow minded and impatient, the most oppressive, their houses are smelly and filthy and in their suburbs they wear clothes that frighten you. Their salutation is a curse, their meeting is pessimistic and their sign is anger showered with venom,”
  • 7. The Different Nations 7 Al-Ummah Al-Tathleeth In the same book Ibn Qayyim said, “The Christians are misguided cross worshipers. They are those who swear at Allah (swt) the creator, in a way no other human has sworn at Allah. They are like those before who did not believe that God is unique as stated in Surah Ikhlaas, nor do they make him greater than everything; rather they say, “the heaven and earth will crack and the mountains will fall down”. The base of their Aqeedah and their biggest curse against Allah (swt) is the Trinity. According to the Christians Mary is the lover of Allah (swt) and Jesus is his son. They claim the Almighty God came down from his great chair and melted in the womb of Mary, until he was killed and buried at the hands of man. Its Deen is the worship of the cross; its supplication is for the images that are drawn on the wall, in red and yellow colours. They say in their prayer “Oh mother of God provide for us, forgive us and have mercy on us”. Their Deen is to drink alcohol, eat pork, desert circumcision, worship with impurity and eat everything, even if it is filthy, whether that be the elephant or the mosquito. What is lawful and unlawful is what their priests say; the priests can take them to heaven and forgive their sins.” Al-Ummah Al-Sabiah We seek refuge in Allah (swt) from the idol worshipers, Fire worshipers, devil worshipers, those who are confused and the apostates. Those whose common ground is shirk e.g. the Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs etc, the denial of Messengers, the rejection of the Shari’ah and of the hereafter and the resurrection. They are those who have no Deen and do not believe in the Creator or worship him and they are those who do not elevate Allah (swt) (Allah (swt) exclusively. Al-Ummah Al-Majoos This is the Ummah that legalises sexual relationships with ones mother, daughter, sister or aunty etc. Their Deen is to play music. Their food is dead meat and their drink is alcohol. Their God is fire and their alliance is with Shaytan. They are the filthiest sect from the sons of Adam and the lowliest school with the most corrupt belief. Al-Ummah Al-Ilhaad They are those atheist philosophers who do not believe in Allah, his angels, books, Messengers, the hereafter and accountability. The wise amongst them believe in nine galaxies, ten minds, four pillars and chains of logic like the logic of the insane.
  • 8. The Different Nations 8 The Muslim Ummah Allah (swt) described the Jews as the Cursed Nation and the Christians as the Misguided Nation and he described the Muslim Ummah as the Best Nation with the best Deen. Allah (swt) described us as the Best Ummah until the Day of Judgement and, further, said that there is nobody else like us. It is an insult against Allah (swt) for the people of today to elevate the Jews and the Christians to the same level as the Muslim Ummah, to say they are all good is like saying that Allah (swt) lies. Interfaith has at its basis the belief that says Islam, Christianity and Judaism are the same and in recent years, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism etc have also been added to this idea of Interfaith. There are some Muslims who ask us not to call the non-Muslims “Kafir”, but rather to call them “potential Muslims”, they say that, “it is not allowed to call them Kafir”, in fact the one that says this declares apostasy because he is either saying that he doesn’t believe what Allah (swt) says, or he believes Allah (swt) is a liar or he has commented over what Allah (swt) says, preferring his comment. In all cases his action makes him apostate.
  • 9. The Plot of Interfaith 9 T h e P l o t o f I n t e r f a i t h It is thanks to the Almighty Allah (swt) who has saved us from these misguided paths, and has guided us to the Deen of Haq. He has guided us to the Deen of Al- Islam, which calls us to submit to Almighty Allah (swt) alone, to worship him alone, the exclusive Legislator and Commander. This is the Deen that requests us to command good and forbid evil. It is the Deen that calls for justice and tranquillity and forbids us from unlawful sexual acts and promiscuity. We bear witness that there is no God but Allah (swt) and that Muhammad (saw) is his Messenger. Many sincere Muslims are exhausting effort in all parts of the world today, in order to call Muslims to abide by the Shari’ah and in order to guide non-Muslims to Islam. They stand firm, challenge and expose all Jahiliyyah such as man-made law, atheism, Marxism and secularism. This struggle is taking place despite of and against all types of intellectual invasions and secular propaganda. We now hear of a new conspiracy against Islam, it is even more dangerous, cowardice and tricky than all of these Kufr ideas, this new conspiracy is “Interfaith”. Interfaith puts Islam on the same platform as Kufr ideas, this new challenge is another knife in the heart of the Deen. It is an attempt to pollute the Islamic phenomena, an attempt to stop the waves of people coming back to Islam and practising it. It attempts to pollute the Islamic personality and is used to chase away sincere Muslims, accusing them of fanaticism and terrorism and it suppresses the Islamic movements, distorting their call. The Interfaith agenda is to lead the Muslims towards apostasy, using all of the forces at its disposal; it diverts the Muslims from the Deen, in order that they become apostates. Allah (swt) says, “They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah (swt) to prevent access to the path of Allah (swt) to deny Him to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque and drive out its members. Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be Companions of the Fire and will abide therein.” [EMQ 2:217]
  • 10. The Plot of Interfaith 10 Verily their wish and desire is for Muslims to commit mass apostasy, for Allah (swt) says, “They but wish that ye should reject faith as they do and thus be on the same footing (as they): but take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (swt) (from what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.” [EMQ 4:89] Apostasy is what the Jews and Christians target, it is their plot and a reality. They hope that Muslims merge with them into the same kufr platform, where there is no Wala or Bara. They oppose any ideas that classify nations as “Muslims Nations” or “Kufr Nations”, they oppose ideas that classify religions as true or false; they would rather make all religions false and Kufr. For these reasons they make up slogans, form powerful chains of mediums and hold conferences and Seminars. They form many organizations and institutions, lay down policies and projects, raise topics publicly and privately, besides the many other activities that are aimed at stopping the Islamists propagating the truth. In fact they have declared a state of emergency against the Islamic revival, whose seeds have started showing fruit; they have widened their circle and activities in order to counter the Islamic Revival. They use ‘poverty’, ‘need’ and ‘ignorance’ to question the Islamic point of view and to support the call for the Abrahamic faith (Interfaith). So what is the rule for those who call for Interfaith, cooperate with it, help it and work for it? The phenomenon of Interfaith has reached the level where corrupted people are calling to print a “Holy Book” which comprises common verses from the Quran, Torah and Injeel, in the form of one book. In some areas, they have brought three places of worship under the same roof; this has already become common at airports, hospitals, and in public places of worship.
  • 11. The Plot of Interfaith 11 Oh, Ulema of Islam, where are you? Oh scholars, the ones who safeguard our belief, where are you? Oh Islamic activists, where are you? Oh Muslims, where are you? Oh, those who follow the Sunnah, where are you? Oh Ummah, where are you? Oh heirs of the prophet, where are you? Verily, the reality of Interfaith is well known. So a question has arisen, which requires an answer and the answer involves an inevitable duty. Allah (swt) has granted in the Deen of Al-Islam, that there will always be some Haqullah among the Muslims in general and among the scholars in particular, who exist in order to defend the Deen and their Lord from any conspiracy. One of the greatest types of Jihad of Da’wah is to expose Kufr and to warn the Muslims, its weapons are evidence and jurisprudence, and this is the least level of Iman for Allah (swt) says, “It is not (possible) that a man to whom is given the Book and Wisdom and the prophetic office should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah's; on the contrary (he would say): "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all for ye have taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly."” [EMQ 3:79] Therefore, with total reliance in Almighty Allah, I will give the answer for the above question below, with sound evidences and clear understanding. I will classify and divide my answer into two divisions. 1. The verification of the reality of Interfaith between the past and the present in order to have a clear understanding of the reality of the question 2. The Islamic verdict for the call to “Interfaith”.
  • 12. The Eras of Interfaith 12 T h e E r a s o f I n t e r f a i t h Verily the new slogan of Interfaith propagated by the Jews and the Christians is an old project adopted by them in order to apostasies Muslims from their Deen. Historically the call for Interfaith has passed through five eras, which are: 1. The History of the Interfaith Theory during The Era of the Messenger Muhammad (saw) a. The “People of Paradise” plot. b. The “Abrahamic Theory” Plot 2. The History of the Interfaith Theory during The Era after the Third Generation Hijri 300AH to 699AH (912CE – 1299CE). a. The plot of the “Document of Muhammad” and the plot of the “Document of St. Catherine”. b. The plot of Sufism (“Allah’s School of thought”, “Muzhabullah”) 3. The History of the Interfaith Theory during The Era Between 699AH to 900AH. (1299CE – 1484CE) a. The plot of “Embracing Islam”. b. The plot of the “Document of Muhammad”. 4. The History of the Interfaith Theory during the The Era Between CE 900AH to 1342AH (1484CE-1924CE) 5. The History of the Interfaith Theory in The Contemporary Era 1342AH to 1423AH (1924CE - 2002CE Present Day)
  • 13. 1. The Era of the Messenger Muhammad (saw) 13 1 . T h e E r a o f t h e M e s s e n g e r M u h a m m a d ( s a w ) Allah (swt) informs us in his Book that the Jews and the Christians will do all that they can to make Muslims commit apostasy; they call the Muslims away from Islam and towards their own ways of life, for Allah (swt) says, “…Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be Companions of the Fire and will abide therein. [EMQ 2:217] a. The People of Paradise plot. The Christians came to Muhammad (saw) saying ‘we are the people of Paradise, we are from the same source, from Esa and Moosa etc., you are blessed, let us work together’ and Allah (swt) revealed to Muhammad (saw), “… the people of the Book wish they could turn you (people) back to kufr after you have believed from selfish envy after the truth hath become manifest unto them…” [EMQ 2:109] The Christians said they were the people of Paradise, but Allah (swt) exposed them, “And they say: "None shall enter paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if you are truthful."” “No whoever submits his whole self to Allah (swt) and is a doer of good he will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear nor shall they grieve.” [EMQ 2:111 –112] The Christians left Muhammad (saw) angry and frustrated. b. The “Abrahamic Theory” Plot In another incident the Christians came to Muhammad (saw) and said, “Did you know we are Abrahamic? We are from the same Milla as you. We are descendents of Ibraheem, we are the children of Ishaac, from Ishaac there were 16 branches, from Ishmael there were 2 branches, we have descended from Yusuf, Musa, Dawood and Suleiman, we are their children”. Allah (swt) informed us of this,
  • 14. 1. The Era of the Messenger Muhammad (saw) 14 “Without doubt among men the nearest of kin to Abraham are those who follow him as is this Apostle and those who believe; and Allah (swt) is the Protector of those who have faith.” [EMQ 3:68] The Jews and the Christians said “become Jews”, “become Christian”, “you will be guided”. And Allah (swt) says, “They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (to salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the religion of Abraham the true and he joined not gods with Allah."” [EMQ 2:135] Allah (swt) clearly exposed the plot of the Christians and the Jews; he shows us that people of the book want to make the Muslims Kafir, Quite a number of the people of the Book wish they could turn you (people) back to infidelity after ye have believed from selfish envy after the truth hath become manifest unto them; but forgive and overlook till Allah (swt) accomplish His purpose; for Allah (swt) hath power over all things.[EMQ 2:109] Allah (swt) warns They but wish that ye should reject faith as they do and thus be on the same footing (as they): but take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (swt) (from what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks. [EMQ 4:89] In these verses and many others, Allah (swt) warns us of the conspiracy of the Jews, Christians and others. The clear understanding that the Muslims had of these verses of warning, made sure that the call for Interfaith was extinguished all the way up to the end of third century Hijri.
  • 15. 2. The Era After the Third Generation Hijri 15 2 . T h e E r a A f t e r t h e T h i r d G e n e r a t i o n H i j r i After the first three generations the call for Interfaith started to be heard again. The call for Interfaith came under the pretext that Judaism, Christianity and Islam were schools of thought that all lead to Allah. Under the pretext of Mazhabullah (i.e. the schools of thought of Allah) Interfaith raised its ugly head again. The Jews and Christians started to fabricate text, they initiated doubt and put confusion in the minds of some Muslims. We started to hear some titles and definitions that grabbed the attention of some Muslims, which in turn lead many to apostasy. One such term was the idea of the oneness of all existence, the unification of all existence and the reincarnation of God in man. These ideas made many Muslims become apostate, especially from amongst the Sufis and the Shia, and from the Muslims of As-Sham, Persia and from the provinces of Asia. Some of these apostates even allowed the Muslims to become Jews or Christians, under the guise of Mazhabullah, and even worse than this, some said it is better to be Christian than Muslim. These ideas started to become common from those inclined to philosophies. They even started to say that the best creations were Al-Uhakil, who are the ones who call for the oneness of all existence and the reincarnation of God. The scholars of Islam rose against these corrupted people and exposed them. The classical scholars exposed these corrupted Kafir. Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah wrote books exposing these philosophers and in particular the apostate of Al- Halaj, who was executed for his apostasy, his name was Hussein Bin Mansour Bin Pharasi (died 309 Hijri). Ibn Taymiyyah exposed other apostates, including the apostate Ibn Arabi Muhammad Bin Ali Ata’i, who spoke about the oneness of existence, in his book Al-Fusoos and who was subsequently killed in 638 Hijri, including another apostate called Ibn Sabi’an (died 699 Hijri). a. The Plot of the “Document of Muhammad” and the Plot of the “Document of St. Catherine” The Jews came to Khalifah Abu Mantisa and said “Muhammad has written a letter for our forefathers at the time of Khayber. In Khayber the Jews were destroyed, but some were forgiven and Muhammad (saw) wrote a letter excusing them from paying the Jizya.” They produced a letter written on Gazelle Skin, it had no vowel signs and appeared to be signed by Muhammad (saw) and witnessed by Muawiya Ibn Abi Sufyan and Saad Ibn Muaz. At first glance it seemed to be genuine. The Khalifah called Imam Tabari, who immediately exposed it as a fake, he said, “It is impossible for this document to be authentic as it was signed by Muawiya who wasn’t even Muslim at the time of Khayber, he embraced Islam two years after, when Muhammad (saw) conquered Mecca!”
  • 16. 2. The Era After the Third Generation Hijri 16 The Christians claimed that St Catherine is buried in Mount Sina, Mt Sina being where Musa (as) received the commandments. The Christians called for the people to come and pray together in the monastery of St. Catherine. They, especially the Pope and the Egyptian Coptic’s claimed that Muhammad (saw) testified, in front of Abu Huraira (RA), that Allah (swt) told him that the grave at that monastery belonged to a Saint called Catherine, and the document was supposedly signed in year three Hijri by Abu Huraira (RA). The claim was made to the Wali of Egypt. The Wali was shocked and called the Ulema to investigate the document. The implications of this document were that if it was true, then St Catherine was a believer and the Christians, Jews and Muslims were Abrahamic. But the Ulema immediately exposed the document as a fake, because Abu Huraira (RA) couldn’t have testified to it, since he wasn’t even a Muslim in the year 3 Hijri, rather he became Muslim in year 6 Hijri! Unfortunately the Muslims have been bitten by this plot and Mount Sina is today a place where the Jews, Christians and so called “Muslims” pray together, delegates to the site even include the Qadianis, Ismailis, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs etc.!
  • 17. 2. The Era After the Third Generation Hijri 17 b. The Plot of Sufism (Allah’s School of thought, Muzhabullah) This century was also known as the century of sects and firqa. The Jews came from this angle. They said, “you have many schools of thought, what about the school of thought of Allah”, this was the start of the “Mazhabullah” ideas i.e. that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all schools of Allah. However nobody accepted these strange ideas except for some of the Sufis. Sufism emanated from an idea called “Al-Zuhd”, which means to keep busy with ritual acts. This developed into an idea called Al-U’bbad (the Worshippers), there were Sahaba who were Al-U’bbad, and who said they did not want to fight against Muslims in the time of the rebellion. Abdullah Ibn Omar (RA) sincerely said, “I cannot fight until you find me a sword that will tell me who is Muslim and who is not”, but these ideas were not a problem at that time. What followed this was very dangerous, there were people who stood next to Imam Ali and said, “you must fight, you have the Haq”, but when it came to fighting, they left his side and when Imam Ali accepted arbitration they said to Imam Ali “You are Kafir”. He rose against these people and destroyed them. They became divided and some of them felt so bad that they decided they would never again become involved in politics. These people were called Al-Tawwabeen (the repenters) and were followed by Al- Bakkaeen (the wailers), i.e. those that would not cry a lot. After Al-Bakkaeen came the Sufis, from which many became apostate and were exploited by the Jews and the Christians to work within the ranks of Interfaith and the Abrahamic ideas.
  • 18. 2. The Era After the Third Generation Hijri 18 In many cases the teachers of these Sufis were Christians and Jews. Al-Halaj, whose teacher was a Jew, introduced the idea of the Reincarnation of Allah, he believed that his Jewish teacher was Allah (swt) and when his teacher died the people asked Halaj, “what are you going to do now?” He saw the mule of his teacher and looked at the Mule. Al-Halaj said that the Mule smiled at him and whispered to him, “I am God”. Al-Halaj would escort the Mule around, cleaning it and saying it was Allah. Al-Halaj was eventually executed along with his Mule and his remains were thrown in the Jungle for the wolves to devour. Ibn Arabi believed in the Oneness of the Existence, his teacher was a Christian. Ibn Sab’een believed in the idea of the Unity of Allah, he believed that we could become re- united with Allah (swt) and his teacher was also a Jew.
  • 19. 3. The Era Between 699AH to 900AH 19 3 . T h e E r a B e t w e e n 6 9 9 A H t o 9 0 0 A H a. The plot of embracing Islam. In the Abbasid era the leader of the Tatars wanted to enter Bilad Al-Sham. Bilad Al-Sham was known as the city of knowledge, they believed they did not need weapons, as they were purely people of knowledge. Islam was in power and Bilad Al-Sham was a city of enlightenment It was known as Medinat ul-Ilm or Minara Ilm Al-Alami, the people were busy with Ilm and the city produced many Ulema. It is said that the jealousy of the Alim is the like the jealousy of the 2 wives and this may provide an explanation for some of the actions of Al-Mansoury. Imam Al-Mansoury clashed with the Ulema, he wasn’t able to go to the Amir of Baghdad and wasn’t able to get a position within the state. The Jews came to Al- Mansoury praising him, saying he was the Sheikh Al-Islam, and said, “We could help you gain a position, but we need you to help us”. The fake document that was refuted by Imam Tabari was produced again, but this time they had removed the name of Muawiya. The Jews said “The Tatars have a big army outside the city waiting to enter, if they embraced Islam they could enter the city without fighting, this would enable you to become close to the Governor.” So Mansoury went to the Governor and said, “I want to go to the Tartars and call them to embrace Islam.” He went to Kalaoun, the Tartar leader, and said to him, “You don’t need to fight to enter Damascus, if you embrace Islam you will enter Damascus without fighting. We Ahl-Al-Sham have a secret that nobody knows about, I will tell you about it if you enter Islam and give me power when you enter the city.” Kalaoun decided to embrace Islam and called himself Mahmoud. The news quickly spread that the leader of the Tartars had embraced Islam at the hands of Al-Mansoury. The Tartars wanted to enter Damascus so the Governor gathered the Ulema and asked for advice. Ibn Taymiyyah said “Let us check that they have become Muslims”, so he went with his students to Kalaoun, they discovered that the Tartars were taking Islam and mixing it with their own book Al-Yasiq, a political book with a complete political system. They were praying and doing ritual acts but following the political beliefs of Al-Yasiq. Ibn Taymiyyah declared, “these people are Kafir, even if you see them pray.” NB. They were mixing Islam with man-made law, just like today’s secular Muslims. Al-Mansoury differed and said, “No they have become Muslim and even if they follow Al-Yasiq they don’t take it as a belief, they take it as tradition, they can’t give up tradition just like that.” Al-Mansoury went to Kalaoun and said to him, “Do you want to know the secret of Ahl-Al- Sham, the secret is that there are no weapons in Damascus.” At this point the Tartars decided to enter the city. When the news spread that the Tartars were about to enter the City and that the tartars knew there were no weapons, most of the
  • 20. 3. The Era Between 699AH to 900AH 20 Ulema said, “Let us make a treaty, we will give them the city without fighting, but they must not touch our women and children, they are our brothers.” Ibn Taymiyyah said, “Wait, by Allah (swt) these people are Mushrik, we have weapons and I can train all of you, we have three things, we have Allah (swt), we have the Iman and the Tawakul and we have our nail, our nails are enough with the help of Allah (swt) and his army”. The defeated reply was, “Let us have a look at the cause of victory, Iman is not enough, we need to be trained and have weapons.” Ibn Taymiyyah said “The Prophet Muhammad (saw) in the battle of Badr had only one horse, and we have many horses, and the horses are always linked to the goodness”, the reply was, “but they have many horses”, Ibn Taymiyyah replied “their horses do not have soldiers who say La Illaha Illalla, Muhammad Ar-Rasoolloollah.” The Amir instructed Ibn-Taymiyyah to take charge of this mission and so Ibn Taymiyyah started to motivate the people, telling them of the weapons that they should use i.e. The Iman and the Tawakul and anything they could lay their hands on. Al-Mansoury on the other hand, went around the city de-motivating the Muslims, saying, “Do not listen to Ibn Taymiyyah, Allah (swt) said fight the Kafir not the Muslims, these people are Muslims and, even if they are not, Allah (swt) did not say fight the Jews and the Christians, we live with them, not fight them, we are all a brotherhood, the children of Abraham.” Ibn Taymiyyah said, “These people are Kafir and even if you see them in the Mosques, kill them.” The tartars were so strong that one night Ibn Taymiyyah decided to investigate them, he went to the camp of Kalaoun and here he found Al-Mansoury, suddenly all had become clear, Mansoury was the leak. Kalaoun said to Ibn Taymiyyah, “who are you?” Ibn Taymiyyah replied, “I am Abdullah, Ibn Taymiyyah.” And they argued about whether the Tartars were Muslims or not. Ibn Taymiyyah argued that they could not follow the book of Al- Yasiq and be Muslim and that the Muslims do not fight each other. Ibn Taymiyyah quoted “If two Muslims fight each other, reconcile between them, but if one rebels against the other fight against the rebellious.” so we fight against you because you are rebellious. Kalaoun asked, “What do you want?” Ibn Taymiyyah replied, “Two things, correct your Aqueeda and know that Muslims do not fight Muslims.” Kalaoun asked “And if I don’t do that, what will you do?” to which Ibn Taymiyyah said, “Know that if you do not do this we will fight you and each of us will take ten of you, we are people with weapons and we will surprise you.” Al- Mansoury said, “You have no weapons, you are bluffing.” Ibn Taymiyyah said, “We have weapons, we did not tell you though, because we knew you would deceive us. We have more weapons than the hairs on your beard.” Kalaoun brought Ibn Taymiyyah and his companions meat to eat, but Ibn Taymiyyah said, “I will never eat this meat it is the meat of Mushrik and the animal was stolen from Damascus.” Then they brought meat from one of their own camels and Ibn Taymiyyah said, “I cannot eat this because you don’t slaughter correctly”. Ibn
  • 21. 3. The Era Between 699AH to 900AH 21 Taymiyyah companions slaughtered and cooked the next animal, but when the food was brought before Ibn Taymiyyah, he said, “I will not eat this until your army withdraws from Damascus” Kalaoun agreed and he withdrew his army from Damascus. So Ibn Taymiyyah returned victorious without fighting or even giving salaam. Mansoury on the other hand was killed by Kalaoun. b. The plot of the “Document of Muhammad” When the Jews heard of the fate of Al-Mansoury they went to the governor showing them their forgery, the governor showed it to Ibn Taymiyyah and immediately Ibn Taymiyyah said, “This is fake, it was signed in the year 7 of hijri, Saad Bin Muaz died in year 2 Hijri after Banu Kuraytha. Further, when they tried to leave with the document, saying they wanted to check it with their Rabbis, Ibn Taymiyyah said, “Don’t leave the room, if anyone of you leaves the room he will be killed”, they argued “you cannot take this document, it is our property.” But Ibn Taymiyyah said, “By Allah (swt) anybody who fabricates the word of the Prophet from the Zhima, has no Zhima, the hadith says “whoever betrays a zhimi, betrays Muhammad (saw)” but also, “whoever betray Muhammad (saw) he betrays Allah” and we will therefore kill you. Ibn Taymiyyah said, “you will pay Jizyah for last year, which you did not pay, and for this year.” It is reported that they paid the outstanding Jizyah within one day!
  • 22. 4. The Era starting in 14th Century CE 22 4 . T h e E r a s t a r t i n g i n 1 4 t h C e n t u r y C E The call for Interfaith had been extinguished for a while, except in the hearts of a few individuals. But in the first half of the 14th century the new era of Interfaith started. Interfaith was adopted by an organisation that was created by the Jews called the “Freemasons”. The Freemasons aimed to control the world by propagating atheism and liberalism, under the guise of calling for the unity for the three religions, rejecting the t’asum (firmness of thought) and removing any “ism” under the pretext of unity of belief in God. So anybody who believed in God was a believer in Freemasonry and many Muslims fell down under the devils whip of Freemasonry. Jamul Udin Bin Sufda Al-Afagani, who died in turkey in 1414 hijri, was one of those who fell under the spell of the freemasons and his student Sheikh Muhammad Abdu Bin Hassan Al-Turkmani who died in Egypt 1323 Hijri followed him. One of the efforts of Muhammad Abdu for Interfaith, with the help of the head of the Mizaowi Shia sect, under Mirza Baata Al-Irani (who embraced Christianity and then he re-embraced Islam) and with them the representative of Jamul Udin Afagani and many other so called “peoples people”, was the establishment in Beirut of a famous organisation named Jamiat Al-Talif. Jamiat Al-Talif is the organisation of reconciliation and inclination between various religions, its objective is to close the gap between the three religions. This organisation is affiliated to some Iranian Shia, English Christians and the Jews. This organisation has been reported about in great detail by Sheikh Muhammad Rasheed Rida (died 1354 Hijri), who was the student of Muhammad Abdu, in his book “The History of the Great Teacher Imam Muhammad Abdu” at volume 1, page 817 and 829. One article that was published by a caller of Interfaith was “Can we Unify Christianity with Islam”, this article described the ideas discussed at a meeting between some Muftis of Egypt and two Azhari scholars, with a group of priests, particularly Abraham Lucas. Abraham spoke in the press conference that followed and declared the following, “there is no way for complete unity, except when one religion embraces the other. Either we have Iman on the Trinity of God, the Son and Holy Spirit and his salvation, and thus we all become Christians, or we believe in Jesus as one of the Messengers and all become Muslims.”
  • 23. 5. The Contemporary Era 23 5 . T h e C o n t e m p o r a r y E r a In the last quarter of the 14th century hijri, until 1423 hijri and under the shade of the New World Order and globalisation we have started to hear the Jews and Christians calling for a gathering based on religion. They call for unity between the Moosaweyyah (Jews), Isawiyyah (Christians) and Muhammadiyyah (Muslims). Their call for this unity came under many guises and titles: 1. Al-Taqaarob Bein Al-Adyaan, to bring the religions closer together. 2. Nabaz Al-Ta’sob Al-Deenie, the rejection of religious partisanship. 3. Al-Ikhaa Al-Deenie, the brotherhood in religions, a centre was established in Egypt. 4. Mujama’ Al-Dyaan, the compilation of religions, their head quarters were set up in Sinaa in Egypt 5. Al-Sadaqah Al-Islamiyyah Al-Masihiyyah, the Islamic and Christianity friendship. 6. Al-Tadhamon Al-Islamie Al-Masihie Dhud Al-Shoyou’iyyah, the Christian Muslim solidarity against communism, this was based again in Egypt. 7. The Unity of Religion, the Oneness of Religion and the Unity of the Three Religions. 8. Al-Millah Al-Ibrahimiyyah, the Millah of Ibraheem. 9. Al-Wihdah Al-Ibrahimiyya, the unity of the heavenly religions. 10. The believers, the United Believers, the United People. 10. The Worldwide Religions. 11. Interfaith and Interlink between Religions. 12. Al-Milioun or the people of faith. 13. Global United Religions. The supplement of the above slogans is the latest idea, which is the compilation of “The Unity of the Heavenly Books”. This book introduces the ideas of printing the Quran, the Torah and the Bible in one hardback book and calling it the “Holy Book”. This call for Interfaith in practical ritual life was in response to the call of the Pope, who started by calling for joint prayers between the representatives of the three religions. They established the first joint prayer in the village of Eases on 22nd October 1986. Today this practice has been repeated many times, under name of the prayer of the Holy Spirit. Recently on the top of the mountain of Keito in Japan, the joint prayer between the three religions was established, unfortunately a heavy representation was also present from Islamic institutes. What follows these prayer is even worse, they use clever means to persuade Muslims to adopt the ideas of Interfaith, adopting the ideas of the Kafir and giving up the idea of Al- Wala Wal-Bara. The call of Interfaith utilises the (meaningless) slogans World Wide Peace, World Wide Tranquillity for Humanity, Freedom, Equality,
  • 24. 5. The Contemporary Era 24 Compassion and Love. These are exactly what the main slogans of the freemasons were i.e. Freedom, Brotherhood and Equality or Peace, Mercy and Humanity. In addition they use contemporary spiritualism, which is based on the foundation of calling the spirits, using séance, they call Muslim souls, Jewish souls and Sikh souls to respond etc. Séance is one of the calls of the International institutions of Freemasons and Zionism.
  • 25. The Effect of Interfaith on Muslims and Islam 25 T h e E f f e c t o f I n t e r f a i t h o n M u s l i m s a n d I s l a m One of the effects of Interfaith on non-Muslims towards the Muslims is that it has broken the barrier of fear and respect towards the Muslims. Another is that it has broken the barrier of rejection of Kufr by the Muslims as a matter of Bara. It introduced the idea that the Pope is the spiritual leader of the whole world and all religions and that he is the carrier of the message of peace for the whole of humanity. The pope declared on the 27th October 1986 that the Eid for all religions was the first day of January and called it “The day of Worldwide Brotherhood”. An anthem has been adopted which all representatives repeat, it is called “There is only one God the One Father”. Many International conferences and seminars have been convened and many organisations, groups and clubs have been established around the world, such as: 1. On the 12th -15th February 1987 an Abrahamic conference was held in Cordoba, Spain, with the participation of the Jews, Christians and some who claim to be Muslims such as the Qadianis and Ismailis. The title of the conference was “The International Dialogue for Abrahamic Unity”. The outcome of this conference was the launch of a new college called Cordoba College for the United Religions of Europe. It is also known as the Islamic Cultural Centre or the Cordoba Centre for Islamic Research. The one who led this campaign is the Christian Roger Garoodi. The main point of the conference was to try to prove that there is common ground between the members of the various religions. 2. In Egypt on the 21st march 1987 the launch of the International Organisation for the Believers or the United Believers was declared. 3. In the summer of 1990, the Religious Youth Club was established. 4. In April 1990, a new organisation called The United People was established. This organisation launched a booklet that focuses on the common ground between the three religions called The Religious Unity. In this book, they abolished some of the most significant attributes of Islam such as the fact that Islam abrogates all that was before it and that the Quran abrogates and dominates all previous books. 5. A series of International conferences have been held calling for the unity of religions in New York, Cordoba, and many other European and Middle Eastern countries. The United Believers declared their capital was $800,000 and if the organisation was to be dissolved, all of its capital would go back to the Red Cross and to the charities associated with the church.
  • 26. The Effect of Interfaith on Muslims and Islam 26 The United Believers consider the following representations or symbols: ● Charity (Rams Al-Ihsan) is the founder of the Red Cross. ● Evolution (Rams Al-Tatowal) is Darwin. ● Equality is Karl Marx. ● International peace for humanity or religious brotherhood is the Pope. The United Believers adopt a banner composed of the following icons: ● The icon of the United Nations. ● The icon of the rainbow. ● The icon of the number seven which was the symbol of victory for them and is the name of the 1st ship that discovered the American continent and carried Christianity to that continent. There has been participation of some Muslims in most of the conferences and seminars, even in the organisations and the joint International prayers, whether they were paid to go, or were there by their own choice, we will leave the decision about these people to Almighty Allah. One of the effects of Interfaith, in addition to this, is that unfortunately the slogans, banners and the symbols of Interfaith have reached the ears of the Muslims. The ideas of Interfaith have leaked into Muslim countries and have been received by many foolish dreamers, who have put many pens to work writing articles in support of Interfaith and many mouths have started to deliver speeches, calling for similar conferences, clubs and seminars In the Sharm Al-Sheikh conference held in Egypt in the month of Shawal 1416H, many of the presidents of Muslim countries delivered speeches regarding the common ground between the Abrahamic participants in the conference. Ironically this conference gathered many Jews, Muslims, Christians and even communists. On the 10th of October 1416H, it was announced that the holy book, composed of the Quran, the Torah and the Bible, would be published. In some countries, a decision was announced permitting newborn Muslims to have Jewish names, after the assassination of the “Man of Peace” Rabeen. Interfaith is spreading its message of Christianity and Judaism, they are spreading their mission to apostatise the Muslims. Verily we face a decade of apostatising the Muslims to Christianity and Judaism and we even see many Muslims struggling and striving with the slogans of Interfaith. We see the Muslims participate in the celebrations of Christianity, Easter and Christmas etc., and on televisions we witness joint International religious ceremonies that even involve Sikhs and Buddhists etc. We see the Christian leaders going to mosques and preaching to the Muslims and the Muslims going to churches and performing prayers with them, like the apostate Yasser Arafat. These are the steps that are demolishing Al-Wala and Al-Bara.
  • 27. The Effect of Interfaith on Muslims and Islam 27 Ultimately, this is just a summary of what the Jews and Christians promote in the theoretical field for the unity of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. With the descriptions, attributes and slogans of this new fashion “Interfaith”, they have been able to establish churches and synagogues in Muslim countries. Interfaith has entered the political arena in Muslim countries and is holding conferences, seminars and establishing organisations in order to enter into the practical life of Muslim society. Under the pretext of globalisation and targeting global religious domination, Interfaith is establishing global apostasy amongst the Muslims. A seed of that declaration, in my own personal opinion was a man I came face to face with the traitor, who misled many Muslims, known as Dr Rogue Garoodi, who represented the Muslims at many Abrahamic conferences, but turned out not to be Muslim, as many thought, but really a Christian. We must also bear in mind the existence of many initiatives amongst the Jews and the Christians, to call for a dialogue between the religions and Interfaith between various religions and cultures. One of the most serious hidden distractions of the Abrahamic theory is the comparative study between the three religions. Each religion competes with the other to align his religion with the International values of peace, love, tranquillity, security, human rights, brotherhood, compassion, charity etc. This alignment merges all differentiation into one united religion (man made law) and this has been recorded in the book The “Protocols of the wise Zionist” on page 78. The science of religious studies and its evolution helps to remove the divinity and holiness from religion and shows its Prophets as normal men who could be good men or fakes. This is, in general, a summary of the Interfaith theory in three eras.
  • 28. The Islamic Verdict for Interfaith in General. 28 T h e I s l a m i c V e r d i c t f o r I n t e r f a i t h i n G e n e r a l . The Jews and Christians want to make Christianity, Judaism and Islam the same in order to the stop the Jizya and what it represents. Jizya is not just an economic transaction, a tax taken from the Kufar, rather Jizya represents the submission of the Kuffar to Islam. All (swt) says in the Qur’an, “Rule and judge by what ever Allah (swt) has revealed”. Verily the call for the Interfaith theory using any of its slogans or symbols is a call to unite the Deen of Islam, Al-Haq, the absolute truth, the Deen which dominates and abrogates all other ways of life, with what the Jews and the Christians believe in. Their Deen is falsehood and an evil religion. Interfaith is one of the biggest conspiracies and plots against Islam and the Muslims. The Jews and the Christians forsake their disputes and differences and gather on common ground, which is their hatred and animosity towards Islam. They baggage Interfaith with glossy slogans and send Messengers, with lies and fabrications, inevitably leading to the most terrifying destiny for the Muslims. The Islamic verdict on Interfaith is that it is an innovation at the Aqueeda level, it is a call for Kufr and misguidance and leads to inevitable apostasy from Islam. Interfaith is a contradiction to all that is known in Islam at the belief level, by necessity. It violates the sanctity of Almighty Allah, his books, the Messengers and all previous prophets. It invalidates the domination and abrogation of the Quran, over whatever was before; it invalidates the finality of the message of Islam and invalidates the Prophethood of the final Messenger Muhammad (saw). The trinity views call for Kufr and the one who promotes Kufr is a Kafir. It is prohibited for Muslims to participate in or to attend any Interfaith conference and seminar, even if they reject the Interfaith theory. Therefore the fatwa is as follows. It is not allowed for a Muslim who believes Allah (swt) is the Lord, Islam is the Deen and Muhammad (saw) is the final Messenger to respond to the call of Interfaith. It is not allowed to join its organisation, participate in its activities or attribute oneself with its activities or seminars or any type of Interfaith gathering. It is compulsory for Muslims to reject the Interfaith call, oppose it, warn the Muslims about it and about the consequence of believing in its values, i.e. that the consequences are apostasy. We must seek reward from Allah (swt) by exposing Interfaith, by putting hatred in the hearts of the people towards it and by showing all types of rejection towards it. The Interfaith organisations must be thrown out of Muslims lands, they must be boycotted, isolated and sent into exile. Those who call for it must be cut from their roots, so that their beliefs are confined to their hearts. We must not permit any of
  • 29. The Islamic Verdict for Interfaith in General. 29 the slogans of Interfaith to reach the public arena. It is compulsory for the Muslims to establish the Islamic State and appoint an International Khalifah who will establish the Hudoud of apostasy for the one who believes in Interfaith. We must call for the Hudoud as protection for the security of the Deen of Allah, as an attribute of discipline for those who want to play with the Deen of Allah, as an attribute of obedience to Allah (swt) and his Messenger and in order for the pure Shari’ah to prevail, i.e. the pure Deen of Allah. Verily the Jews and Christians have received the Interfaith theory and verily they are eligible to it and deserve it, because they do not refer to the true religion, their Deen is full of distortion and their religion is false. Their Deen is either false, distorted or contains some remnants of truth that are abrogated by Islam in any case. As far as Muslims are concerned it is not allowed for them to have anything to do with the call and theory of Interfaith whatsoever, because the Muslims belong to a divine belief, a message of absolute truth which is a whole and complete belief, in the basis, justice and mercy of Islam. Let every Muslim know the reality of Interfaith, that it has a philosophical inclination and upbringing, its objectives are atheist, but it appears in a religious uniform in order to mislead, distort and destroy the belief of Muslims in order to apostatise them. Interfaith targets Islam and the Muslims wherever they are and it manifests itself in the following points: 1. The stage of distortion of Islam, in order to establish confusion. It challenges Islam with a list of doubts and conjectures, in order that Muslims live with a confused soul full of rejection or a soul with tranquillity and security 2. It aims to counteract the Islamic revival and the Islamic groups. 3. It attacks Islam in its own basis, targeting to demolish Islam and affecting Muslims by removing Iman from their hearts and by burying it. 4. It aims to demolish the Islamic bond between the Muslims and replace it with religious brotherhood, i.e. the brotherhood of the Jews and the Christians. 5. It censors Muslim writers and cuts their tongues from making Takfeer against the Jews, the Christians and others who Allah (swt) and his Messenger declared unbelievers if they do not declare Islam and become Muslims. 6. It targets to invalidate the Islamic rule regarding apostasy, which obliges Muslims to stick to Islam and not to embrace Christianity, Judaism or any other belief, it invalidates capital punishment for apostasy. 7. It targets to make Muslims give up the head of the spear of Islam, Al-Jihaad Fi Sabillilah, because it includes Jihad against people of the books, for Allah (swt) says,
  • 30. The Islamic Verdict for Interfaith in General. 30 “Fight those who believe not in Allah (swt) nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah (swt) and His apostle nor acknowledge the religion of truth (even if they are) of the People of the Book until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” [EMQ 9:29]. Verily Jihad against the Kufar, the enemy of Allah, puts fear in their hearts and terrifies them, this will give Islam victory, humiliate its enemy and put happiness in heart of believers, for Allah (swt) says, “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power including steeds of war to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah (swt) and your enemies and others besides whom ye may not know but whom Allah (swt) doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah (swt) shall be repaid unto you and ye shall not be treated unjustly.”[EMQ 8:60]. It is very strange how Muslims have given up the legitimate strength of preparation and Jihaad. This will lead to the assassination of Jihaad and to the burial of it. They already interpret Jihaad as defensive and not as submission to the law of Islam and the Jizyah. Now they call Jihad terrorism and the people run away from it. The Muslims do not even want to mention the word Jihaad, let alone perform the obligation of taking Jizyah from non-Muslims. The obligation of Jizyah on Jews and Christian, if they do not embrace Islam, is a sign of the dignity of the Muslims and a sign of submission of the unbelievers to Islam. That is why the Jews tried a lot, from the 4th century hijri, to invalidate the obligation of Jizyah on them. They even fabricated a letter from Muhammad (saw) in the beginning of the 4th century. This letter claimed that Muhammad (saw) wrote a treaty for them after Khayber, it supposedly forgave them from paying the Jizyah for good. When the governor of Damascus showed the letter to the scholars, the Imam of Tafseer, Muhammad Bin Jurar Al-Tabari (died 310 hijri) immediately declared it was a false and fake letter that faked the handwriting of Muhammad (saw) and his signature. The testimony of Muawiya Ibn Abi Sufyan was what exposed the fake, he embraced Islam after conquering Medina after Khayber, whereas they claimed this document was written by Muhammad (saw) in year of Khayber, with Muawiya as a supposed witness and this proved that the letter attributed to Muhammad (saw) by the Jews was a fake. The Jews continued to use this false letter from time to time, but every time they presented it, a scholar
  • 31. The Islamic Verdict for Interfaith in General. 31 exposed it. In the time of Al-Katb Al-Bagdadi (died 463 hijri), they presented it again and he too said it was false. They produced it again in the time of Ibn- Taymiyyah (died 728 hijri), he exposed them saying, “This letter is fabricated from you, about the prophet regarding the payment of Jizya, the evidence against your claim is that, you said the Prophet wrote it on the day of Khayber, in the presence of Saad Bin Muaz. Saad died two years before Khayber, after the battle of Khandaq and during the time of Banu Kuraytha.” 8. The Christians fabricated the document of Saint Catherine, which is displayed on the wall in a place of worship on Sina Mountain. Under the pretext that St Catherine was a believer, according to the letter, they called for Interfaith and joint prayers. 9. The Interfaith theory targets to destroy the fundamental basis of Islam, Al- Wala Wal-Bara and Al-Hubu Fillah Wal-Bugdu Fillah. Therefore Interfaith targets to remove the barrier of Al-Bara of the Muslims from the Kuffar, which is to keep distance away from the Kuffar and not to take them as friends or allies, and to worship Allah (swt) by declaring dislike for them. 10. Interfaith formulates ideas of hatred towards the Deen, in the guise of unity of religion, in order to divide and separate the Muslims from their Deen and to isolate the Shari’ah i.e. the Quran and Sunnah from their lives. They try to inject Kufr ideas and thoughts into the Islamic culture, passing them off as Islamic points of view. This will empty Islam from its substance so it will never be looked at as the intellectual leader. That will facilitate the isolation of Islam from life’s affairs and will help the enemy of Islam to reach their objective i.e. to dominate the world without any resistance. 11. Interfaith aims to diminish Islam from the highest position, its objective is to topple Islam from its prominence and dignity and make it equal to the false and pagan religions. 12. Interfaith aims to level the path for missionaries to carry Christianity and Judaism, by removing all obstacles and defusing any potential Islamic resistance. 13. The ultimate aim of Interfaith is to complete the Kufr domination by the Jews, Christians, atheists and communists all over the world in general and the Muslim world and Mecca in particular. The apostasy of the whole world facilitates globalisation by the Kufr thoughts, ideas and way of life. They will establish joint and free markets where Islam has no say whatsoever, where the Deen will not interfere with the moral values at all, haram earnings and usury will become a way of life and unlawful sexual corruption will be everywhere. The people of good conscience will be removed and normal human nature will be replaced with evil ideas and thought. The best example of the agenda of
  • 32. The Islamic Verdict for Interfaith in General. 32 Interfaith is the conference for world development and population control which was held in Cairo and the world women conference held in Peking etc. Unfortunately the Interfaith theory has attracted many non-practising Muslims and many from those who have adopted secularism as their religion, until some of them have declared their apostasy by agreeing to publish a combination of the Quran, Torah and Injeel together as one book. Verily the call for Interfaith theory is one of the hardest fitna and tests facing the Muslims these days. The Interfaith theory mixes Islam with Kufr, Haq with Baatil, guidance with misguidance, Marouf with Munkar, Tawheed with Shirk, Sunnah with Bida and even man with women etc. Verily this is a test from Allah (swt) and Allah (swt) will guide and misguide whomever he wishes, “And Moses chose seventy of his people for Our place of meeting: when they were seized with violent quaking he prayed: "O my Lord! if it had been Thy will Thou couldst have destroyed long before both them and me: wouldst Thou destroy us for the deeds of the foolish one among us? This is no more than Thy trial: by it Thou causest whom Thou wilt to stray and Thou leadest whom Thou wilt into the right path. Thou art our protector: so forgive us and give us Thy mercy; for Thou art the best of those who forgive.” [EMQ 7:155] In summary, the fatwa for those who call to unite Islam with any other religion is clear cut and unambiguous apostasy and explicit Kufr, because the Interfaith theory declares what contradicts Islam clearly in its foundation and in its branches, in its belief and practise. The consensus is that the Interfaith theory is apostasy, it is not a matter of disagreement and dispute amongst the scholars of Islam or amongst the masses of the Muslims. Verily we are in the final trial, we face a new battle against the cross worshipers i.e. the Christians, the Jews and the pagans, who have the most animosity towards the believers.
  • 33. The Absolute Facts of the Deen of Allah 33 T h e A b s o l u t e F a c t s o f t h e D e e n o f A l l a h The first fact from the essence of the Deen is that all of the previous Messengers of Allah (swt) called the people to believe in God. They called for Al-Tawheed, to worship Allah (swt) exclusively and not to associate any other being with him. They taught the people to be aware of Allah’s names and attributes and to be aware of what was before this life. That is common for all the Ambiya and is mentioned in the Quran when Allah (swt) says, “The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah--the which We have sent by inspiration to thee--and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus: Namely that ye should remain steadfast in Religion and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah (swt) hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah (swt) chooses to Himself those whom He pleases and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).” [EMQ 42:13] “For We assuredly sent amongst every People an apostle (with the Command) "Serve Allah (swt) and eschew Evil": of the people were some whom Allah (swt) guided and some on whom Error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).” [16:36] “Not an apostle did We send before thee without this inspiration sent by Us to him: that there is no god but I; therefore worship and serve Me.” [EMQ Al-Ambiya:25] In Bukhari and Muslim the Hadith of Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger Muhammad (saw) said, “We Prophets and Messengers are brothers, our mothers are different but our Deen is one”. They came to deliver the Message of God, to order the lives of the people. They called people to abide by the Command of Allah (swt) in all spheres of life. They made the people aware of what is before this life. In order to get benefit in this life and to prevent harm. Allah (swt) confirmed the right path, that those who seek the lessons of Allah, the right path is Al-Islam. “I have only created jinns and men that they may worship Me.”[EMQ 51:56]
  • 34. The Absolute Facts of the Deen of Allah 34 Allah (swt) informed us that Jews and Christians are outside that right path. Allah (swt) informed the people about their decreed destiny of death, punishment in the grave, resurrection, accountability, paradise and hellfire. “Alif. Lam. Mim.” “This is the Book; in it is guidance sure without doubt to those who fear Allah.” “Who believe in the Unseen are steadfast in prayer and spend out of what We have provided for them.” “And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee and sent before thy time and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter.” [EMQ 2:1-4]
  • 35. Allah’s Declaration for the Jews, Christian and Pagans 35 A l l a h ’ s D e c l a r a t i o n f o r t h e J e w s , C h r i s t i a n a n d P a g a n s Allah (swt) declared the Jews to be unbelievers, in the Quran he (SWT|) says, “The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah (swt) and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth!”[EMQ 9:30] Allah (swt) cursed them as a people of mischief, “Except for those who repent before they fall into your power: in that case know that Allah (swt) is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.”[EMQ 5:34] He called them a people of fabrication, “But because of their breach of their Covenant We cursed them and made their hearts grow hard: they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the Message that was sent them nor wilt thou cease to find them barring a few ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah (swt) loveth those who are kind.” [EMQ 5:13] Allah (swt) described the Jews as the Cursed Ummah and as disbelievers because they are fabricators. They fabricate stories about the Ambiya that even violate their own belief. The Jews claim that Suleiman, the Messenger of Allah, was an apostate and worshipped Idols (Genesis 1 no 5, Manuscripts of the 1st kings). The Jews attribute, to the Messenger of God Haroon, the worship of a golden cow (Genesis 32 no 1, Manuscripts of The Departure). However Allah, informed us that Haroon did not worship the cow and that it was in fact the Samaris who did this. The Jews say that Ibraheem (as) offered his wife Saarah to Pharone in order to get some sort of benefit (Genesis 12 no 14 Manuscripts of Formation). The Jews also say that the Messenger Lut (as) drank alcohol until he became drunk and then fornicated with his daughter (Genesis 19 no 30 Manuscripts of Formation). Moreover the Jews attribute fornication to the Messenger Dawood (as) saying that he committed fornication with a woman who subsequently delivered Suleiman (Genesis 11 no 11 Manuscript of Sumyl the 2nd ).
  • 36. Allah’s Declaration for the Jews, Christian and Pagans 36 Let us come to what Allah (swt) says about the Christians. Allah (swt) describes the Christians in the Quran to be the misguided Ummah. Allah (swt) calls them Kafir, he says, “The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah (swt) and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth! “ [EMQ Al-Tawba 9:30] Christians are the cross worshippers who insult Allah (swt) and they swear against him like no other human ever swore at God. They believe in the trinity and claim that Allah (swt) is the lover of Mary, Allah (swt) says, “They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah (swt) and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; Yet they were commanded to worship but one Allah: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to him: (far is He) from having the parents they associate (with him).” [EMQ 9: 31] “They do blaspheme who say: Allah (swt) is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy) verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.” [EMQ 5:73] “O people of the Book! commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah (swt) aught but truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an Apostle of Allah (swt) and His Word which He bestowed on Mary and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah (swt) and His Apostles. Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah (swt) is One Allah: glory be to him: (for Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah (swt) as a Disposer of affairs.” [EMQ 4:171]
  • 37. Allah’s Declaration for the Jews, Christian and Pagans 37 Moreover the Christians claim that the Grandfather of Suleiman (as) and Dawood (as) was an illegitimate child. Allah (swt) exposed both the Jews and the Christians and disassociated them from the Millah of Ibraheem (as). In fact Allah (swt) says that they are liars, “And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world: and he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the righteous.” [EMQ 2:140] “Ye people of the Book! why dispute ye about Abraham when the Law and the Gospel were not revealed till after him? Have ye no understanding?”“Ah! ye are those who fell to disputing (even) in matters of which ye had some knowledge! but why dispute ye in matters of which ye have no knowledge? It is Allah (swt) Who knows and ye who know not!” “Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian but he was true in faith and bowed his will to Allah's (which is Islam) and he joined not gods with Allah.”[EMQ 3:65-67] Moreover, Allah (swt) informs us that the only people that can be attributed to Ibraheem (as), who has 18 messengers from amongst his descendants, is the Messenger Muhammad (saw) and the believers, for Allah (swt) says, “Without doubt among men the nearest of kin to Abraham are those who follow him as are also this Apostle and those who believe; and Allah (swt) is the Protector of those who have faith.” [EMQ 3:68] Allah (swt) exposes all of their falsehood, for every Muslim to see and counters all the claims that they are close to Ibraheem. They are pagans who associate Sons with God. “They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (to salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the religion of Abraham the true and he joined not gods with Allah."”
  • 38. Allah’s Declaration for the Jews, Christian and Pagans 38 “Say ye: "We believe in Allah (swt) and the revelation given to us and to Abraham Isma`il Isaac Jacob and the Tribes and that given to Moses and Jesus and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord we make no difference between one and another of them and we bow to Allah (swt) (in Islam)."” “So if they believe as ye believe they are indeed on the right path; but if they turn back it is they who are in schism; but Allah (swt) will suffice thee as against them and He is the All-Hearing the All- Knowing.” [EMQ 2:135-137] If we contemplate upon the book of Allah, we find that Allah (swt) sent the Quran in order to revive the Deen of Ibraheem (as) and the revivers of the Deen are the Muslims. “And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive (with sincerity and under discipline): He has chosen you and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (Revelation); that the Apostle may be a witness for you and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer give regular Charity and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector the Best to protect and the Best to help!” [EMQ 22:78] Finally, it is compulsory for every Muslim to reject the Interfaith theory, it is a matter which they must know by necessity. Verily the Jews and Christians have only one objective and that is to apostasies the Muslims and to divert them from their Deen, for Allah (swt) says, “They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah (swt) to prevent access to the path of Allah (swt) to deny Him to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque and drive out its members. Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be Companions of the Fire and will abide therein.” [EMQ 2:217]
  • 39. Allah’s Declaration for the Jews, Christian and Pagans 39 Allah (swt) says the Jews and Christians wish that you would become apostates and equal to them, “They but wish that ye should reject faith as they do and thus be on the same footing (as they): but take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (swt) (from what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.” [EMQ 4:89] Verily the Jews and Christians, who are calling for Interfaith, will please you with their tongues and say, “we are believers like you” but their hearts reject and hate us, “Ah! ye are those who love them but they love you not though ye believe in the whole of the Book. When they meet you they say "We believe"; but when they are alone they bite off the very tips of their fingers at you in their rage. Say: "Perish in your rage; Allah (swt) knoweth well all the secrets of the heart."” [EMQ 3:119] “Hatred is what is uttered from their mouths and what they conceal in their hearts is far greater” [EMQ 3:118] It is compulsory for Muslims to believe that the Ummah of the Jews is the Cursed Ummah and to believe that the Christians are the Misguided Ummah. They do not believe in the Shari’ah of Islam and Allah (swt) says whosoever believes in something other than Islam, it is not acceptable and that he is a failure. “"This is what We rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of Wisdom."” [EMQ 3:58]
  • 40. Allah’s Declaration for the Jews, Christian and Pagans 40 It is compulsory for the Ummah of Islam, the Ummah of the Kiblah to believe that the Ummah of Islam, the Ummah of Haq are the only ones who follow the truth. Our Quran is the only authentic book that exists and the Shari’ah of Islam abrogates all that was before it. The current Judaism and Christianity and the Torah and Bible are fabricated and evil. Verily Islam is the Deen of Haq and anything else is Baatil. Allah (swt) forbids us to take the Kufar as allies and obliges us to dislike the Jews and the Christians because of their belief, we must not be inclined towards them until they believe in Allah, Islam and the Messenger. Allah (swt) says, “O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah (swt) guideth not a people unjust.” [EMQ 5:51] “Fight those who believe not in Allah (swt) nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah (swt) and His apostle nor acknowledge the religion of truth (even if they are) of the People of the Book until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” [EMQ 9:29] Every Muslim must believe that those who do not embrace Islam, e.g. Christians, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, Atheist etc are Kuffar and must be called Kafir. They are the people we dislike and the people of Hellfire, for Allah (swt) says, “Say: "O men! I am sent unto you all as the apostle of Allah (swt) to Whom belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth: there is no god but He: it is He that giveth both life and death. So believe in Allah (swt) and His apostle the unlettered Prophet who believed in Allah (swt) and His words: follow him that (so) ye may be guided."” [EMQ 7:158] In Sahih Muslim the Messenger Muhammad (saw) is reported to have said “by the one in whose hand is my soul, whoever heard about me from the Jews or Christians and died without believing in Islam is from the people of hellfire.”

  • 42. The Main Objectives of the Interfaith Theory 42 T h e M a i n O b j e c t i v e s o f t h e I n t e r f a i t h T h e o r y The main objective of the Interfaith theory can be classified into three: 1. To make the Muslim apostate 2. To isolate Islam from the life’s affairs. 3. To make Muslims the ambassadors of Kufr. Verily these above objectives contradict the role of the Ummah which Allah (swt) has obliged upon Muslims to play in their life, which is as the leading Ummah who implement his (swt) command in all spheres of life and carry it to the whole world. Muslims should be the example to follow for all mankind, because it is reported in the Hadith of the Messenger Muhammad that he said as confirmation for Muslim leadership “The Messenger Muhammad (saw) said, “if my brother Musa was alive he would have no choice but to follow me” and Allah (swt) says, “you are the best nation sent to mankind”.
  • 43. The Key Figures of Interfaith Amongst the Secularist 43 T h e K e y F i g u r e s o f I n t e r f a i t h A m o n g s t t h e S e c u l a r i s t Sheikh Muhammad Abdu 1849-1905 The Interfaith theory in the last quarter of the century started with the agreement between the English priest Isaac Taylor and Sheikh Muhammad Abdu during their meeting in Damascus in 1883 and agreed to establish the unity between the two religions. He called for the conference Al-Talif Wal Taqrib to unite Islam with Christianity and that was in Beirut in 1953 and then in Cairo in 1954. One of the most dangerous theories of Muhammad Abdu, which is one of the pillars of secularism, made the concept of Dar Al-Harb and Dar Al-Islam vanish, because of his Interfaith theory and not to mention Al-Wala Wal Bara, not to mention the Aqueeda theory of the Al-Wala, the alliance to Allah (swt) and his Messenger and ideas of Wal Bara, purification from the Kuffar. Not only did he call for cooperation with the British government, he also called for the alliance with the British under the umbrella of that is cooperation with the Kuffar and it is not fully haram according to his Interfaith theory. Sheikh Abdul Rehman Al-Kawakibi (1902CE) He called for secularism and rejected any religious authority, in religion or political authority explicitly. He called for full integration and Interfaith and more over requested Muslims, Jews and Christians to set aside there religion, he said, “I call all the people to forget the mistakes, errors and atrocities of their grandfathers, verily this would be an excuse for the present extremists to build on in order to misguide you from unity based on nationalism. Australia and America have built their system on a non-religious basis, let us think about that and look after our life’s affairs, let religions deal with the issues of the hereafter. Let us come to some common ground, long live the Ummah, long live the country, long live freedom.” Sheikh Refa’t Rafe’ Al-Tahtawi (1873CE) He is one of those who called for Interfaith and the oneness of all religions after the French western culture affected him. He wrote books entitled Manahejul Al- Baab the schools of shrewdness, he said, “nationalism is related to the land and country. It appears in the form of patriotism, patriotism becomes the primary source of all patriotic action. Whatever is a duty upon Muslims towards Muslims should be a duty towards Muslims or patriotic non-Muslims.” Five years spent Paris (1826-1831 CE) by this Azhari Sheikh was enough to turn him of him into a beast, cannot call him Muslim towards Islam or Kufr. This is situation of most of the people who studied in West on sponsorship (sent abroad). Verily the
  • 44. The Key Figures of Interfaith Amongst the Secularist 44 messenger Muhammad’s SAW prophesies were absolutely correct when he said, “You will follow the ways of the people, span by span and arm by arm, until when they enter the hole of a lizard you will enter it.” He was asked, “Who are they, are they the Jews and Christians?” Muhammad (saw) said, “Indeed, who else.” Sheikh Ahmed Lutvi As-Sayyid and Sheikh Tahar Hussein He is one of the faithful students of Muhammad Abdu, he completed the steps started by Muhammad Abdu in the operation of Interfaith and Westernisations, in order to remove all barriers between Muslims and Kafir. In the Interfaith conference held in Cairo in 1986, he suggested that we establish a secular university similar to French universities to oppose Al-Azhar University, which they claim was threatening the church of Christ. Verily the followers of Interfaith fulfilled their recommendation two years later. Saaid Zaghloul, Sheikh Ahmed Lutvi As-Sayyid, Sheikh Taher Hussein and many others established the Egyptian University. One of the prerequisite conditions of its establishment was that it should not be specific to Allah (swt) or any particular gender or religion, rather it should be for all people of Egypt regardless of gender or religion rather they made the arbitrator between them for their national brotherhood. Sheikh Ali Abdul Razik He is one of the most dangerous personalities who levelled the path for the Interfaith and westernisation, he declared his apostasy in his book Al-Islam Wa Asuul Wa Hukm Islam and the foundation of ruling, in his book he denied completely that Islam has any system of life or has anything to do with leadership or politics, he combined the oriental style of misquoting and basing arguments on misquoted and fabricated text, in order to distort Islam and the style of those Sufism and Sectarianism who make interpretation which is far away from the meaning of the text. Moreover he said Islam is like Judaism and Christianity, it is only spiritual and about the relationship between man and god and the relationship in life’s affairs but not with politics. He said one of my best references and evidences for refutations for those who claim that Islam has a Khilafah system, in the detailed arguments of the “renowned great scholar” Sir Thomas Arlond in his book the Khilafah, especially in the 2nd and 3rd chapter where he said he has enough convincing evidences. Dr. Muhammad Umarah He is one of those who called to unite mankind under one new Deen, he stated his views clearly, that the Jews and Christians nowadays are believers Muslims (submitters) and Muahidoun (monotheists) and there is no harm if they disbelieve in the Prophethood of Muhammad (saw) or the Message of Islam. He said if the
  • 45. The Key Figures of Interfaith Amongst the Secularist 45 people of the book follow the previous messages before Muhammad (saw) and believe in the previous messengers, even if they reject Muhammad (saw) and his Prophethood, if they do good deeds and their rejection does not take them out of the framework of one Deen nor from the Deen of Islam. Dr Hassan Hanafi He went further than that he claimed that there is nothing called Deen rather there is heritage (Torath), which is subject to be developed and utilised according to the situation. Verily the old heritage has no value in itself as an aim or means and it has no element of progression because it is part of the backward history or one of its manifestations. Therefore we should look to the new heritage, which is based more on scientific and universal manner, which we are capable to cultivate in every society. Dr Hasan Turabi One of the most prominent key players of Interfaith and westernisation is Dr Hassan Abdullah Turabi, but he is unique among all these rationalist and orientalist and those who were impressed by the western civilisation and called for the westernisation, after he drank the syrup of the French and British culture, verily the bird gathers together with its own kind. If we look to the common element between Muhammad Abdu and Tatari and Muhammad Amara and Hassan Hanafi and Hassan Turabi we find them all and many moderates like them, we find them defeated psychologically and exceed in their own admiration for the west and its allies and Dr Hassan Turabi is one of the most dangerous of all for the following reasons: 1. The efforts of the above false Messiahs of the western civilisation never exceeded past the theoretical side, whereas Dr Turabi went to the practical side of this field, especially due to the fact that he was given the capability of the State of Sudan, to be put under his own authority for years, until recently he was put under house of arrest. And two things make that issue fulfilled was the economic problem, the political pressure from the western countries on leaders and the economic embargoes waved at Sudan, the second reason the war to Christianise the Muslims in Sudan and the war in South Sudan which cost the government a of lot of lives and resources. These things made the people of Sudan not to take notice from dangers of Interfaith ideas thinking it may reduce the external pressures. 2. The capability of Dr Turabi and his tricky manoeuvring whereas sometime it appear that the call for Interfaith was just political manoeuvring in order to divert and cool the Christian public opinion and
  • 46. The Key Figures of Interfaith Amongst the Secularist 46 in order that the Sudanese government would not be harmed and to say Islam is not Allah (swt) call in Sudan, on other hand it look like he just call non Muslims to Islam to open dialogue in order to remove all doubt in their minds and sometimes he raised big ? in his own belief when he raised some doubtful points. However between all this variety of contradictions he established wide platform which led for the Abrahamic faith of the believers front which later was known as the Abrahamic party. 3. The presence of minority Christians in both Sudan besides the call for the new world order and globalisation all this facilitate to mislead the student movement in Sudan. And the effort of Turabi in field of Interfaith manifest in holding conf, such as the Islamic movement and dialogue, the call for the establishment of the Abrahamic party, form of the Sudan ass for religious Interfaith, participation of Muslims in celebration of Christians, visit churches, permit for new church, repaint old church, giving Christians in media slot every Sunday morning for 4 hours, intro topics in the high college of Sudan called religious comparative studies. Turabi declare defending himself when he was under attack by many scholars defending his interface call “the national unity is one of out biggest concerns and we in the Islamic front will reach this national unity when we become Muslims on the foundation Abrahamic faith which brings us and Christians together with historical heritage and joined religion and with historical balance of faith and morality, we don’t want the brotherhood of Deen to because animosity with other faith rather we want brotherhood of with Allah.” It is really strange and amazing how Turabi shamelessly described Jews and Christians to be believers in many of his talks to justify the Interfaith call. And joined between the contradiction, between Tawheed and Shirk and Iman and atheism, and Islam and Kufr. May Allah (swt) bless Ibn Taymiyyah he said “The thing that we submit to as Muhammad (saw) has been sent with Allah’s (swt) Message to man and Jin and to all people whether they are people of book or others and whosoever does not believe in him is Kafir and deserves punishment from Allah (swt) and Jihaad from Muslims to impose on him the law and order of Islam regardless of whether he believes in it or not and this is agreed by all Muslims.” Moreover Hassan Turabi said that the main objective of Interfaith is not to discuss belief matters, but rather to look to the common ground in the moral values and call for moral values. How could Jews and Christians live together in the same place as a brotherhood and ally and support each other each other in the same country. Ironically in his speech when he wanted to

All these types and calls contradict Islam from two main angles. 1. The one who does not believe that the non-Muslims are Kafir or doubt their Kufr or authenticate their religion. Allah (swt) described Islam to be the absolute truth and said there is nothing after that except Dallal. “Such is Allah your real Cherisher and Sustainer: apart from Truth what (remains) but error? How then are ye turned away?” [EMQ 10:32] Allah (swt) described Islam to be Al-Haq and everything else is Baatil falsehood, for Allah (swt) said the Haq has come and the falsehood has been perished and verily the false hood will perish “If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life) We readily grant them--such things as We will to such persons as We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein disgraced and rejected.” [EMQ 17:18] Verily the call of Allah (swt) is the Haq and what you call that differs from this is the falsehood “If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life) We readily grant them--such things as We will to such persons as We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein disgraced and rejected.” [EMQ 22:26] Allah (swt) refuted any call for Interfaith, he (swt) said “the only Deen Allah (swt) except is the Deen of Islam “Do they seek for other than the Religion of Allah? While all creatures in the heavens and on earth have willing or unwilling bowed to His Will (accepted Islam) and to Him shall they all be brought back.” [EMQ 3:83]
  • 50. Interfaith and International Development Organisations 50 2. The one who allies with the Kufar or cooperate with them in their superiority over Muslims is Kaffir for Allah (swt) says “Allah (swt) forbid us to ally Kuffar and warns us from them “There did Zakariya pray to his Lord saying: "O my Lord! grant unto me from Thee a progeny that is pure; for Thou art He that heareth prayer!"” [EMQ 3:38] “O ye who believe! take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks; they will not fail to corrupt you.

They only desire your ruin: rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths; what their hearts conceal is far worse. We have made plain to you the Signs if ye have wisdom.” [EMQ 9:32] Islam order us and if anybody ever studied the Aqaid in relation to Al-Wala and Al-Bara, he will realise the contradiction, and some of the forms of the Mualat to the Kuffar 1. To consent to their call is a consent to their Kufr and Allah (swt) said “whosoever follow something differ to Islam Allah (swt) never accept from them…[EMQ ??] 2.
