1) A lesson in telling the truth

Allah orders in Suratul Hujuraat, إِن جَآءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌۢ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوٓا۟ "if a faasiq comes to you with any information, VERIFY IT."
The word فَاسِقٌۢ in the above ayat, refers to any fabricator, liar, unreliable or unrighteous person.

2) Ibn Katheer explains:
"Allah the Exalted orders investigating the news that sinners & the wicked bring, to make sure of its authenticity. Otherwise, if the sinner's word is taken for granted and a decision is based on it, regardless of whether the information is true or not,

3) ...the authorities will be taking the lead of the sinners. Allah the Exalted & Most Honored forbade taking the path of the corrupted & sinners. This is why groups of the scholars of Hadith refuse to accept narrations from narrators whose reliability is unknown,

4) ...for they might be from among the wicked people, in reality."

Below is a detailed explanation of the circumstances, wisdom and rulings behind the revelation of this ayat as well as statements from the Prophet ﷺ regarding lies and rumors: islamqa.info/en/answers/142…

5) This Hakeem Muhammad is a boldfaced liar who is revising history by concocting a false scenario and attributing a fabricated statement to the late Betty Shabazz. When pressed for his evidence, he refuses to reply.

6) Fact: Malcolm's New York masjid was firebombed the day after his assassination in the same way as his home had been firebombed the previous week. His followers thus feared more NOI terror at his funeral. Look it up.

7) Fact: Malcolm's followers, including the late Hisham Jaabir (who led his janaza), searched for a church because few NYC masajid were large enough to accommodate the anticipated crowd. Their decision had nothing to do with "Malcolm being hated by immigrant Muslims". Look it up

8) @Muhammad7Hakeem claims Betty Shabazz made this assertion yet he fails to disclose his sources. He is thus making a shameless attempt at historical revision for the sake of "likes, shares and retweets" even though history says otherwise: nytimes.com/2016/03/31/nyr…

9) Hakeem Muhammad happens to be from same city the #NOI uses as their defacto Qibla: Chicago. He follows close to 3 dozen NOI officials, including members of Louis Farrakhan's family. This is the same NOI who not only called for Malcolm's assassination,

10) ...but their entire platform is based on masquerading as a social justice organization while claiming Allah is a man, Prophethood is continuous, stoking racial division and scamming African Americans with false promises.

11) I just spoke with a Pakistani brother who decades ago was Betty Shabazz's personal driver. He has agreed to appear on camera to dispel the lies Hakeem Muhammad and others are claiming. I will shoot the interview within a day and upload it here. إن شاء الله

12) I just heard from brothers in Chicago familiar with Hakeem Muhammad. They stated he has never been seen at any Jumuah, lectures, or even Eid at any local masajid. Moreover, he just made access to his account private. Meaning that only those he personally approves can even

13) see or respond to his postings. What a spineless coward. This only proves that he knows his claims are false and he is on the brink of being exposed. As Allah says: بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِٱلْحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلْبَٰطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ

"Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks its brains out and behold: falsehood perishes!" [Al-Anbiya, 21:18]
