Thread on Javad Hashmi

How the US gov funds native informants to spread Islamic reform online.

Jay Hashmi is a troll who is often in my replies crying about how I'm "scared" to debate him. I get about a dozen debate challenges per day from no name losers like Jay, but...
...Jay is different because he was recently hired as a director at @mpac_national.

MPAC is a "Muslim" org with a long history working for the US gov to police, surveil, and entrap Muslims.

MPAC has worked closely with the FBI and DHS to implement CVE policies against Muslims.
What is CVE? It is the gov program developed post 9/11 used in numerous countries to target religious Muslims by characterizing them as "extremists" for things like growing a beard, being strict about not drinking, or believing that Islam is the only religion acceptable to God.
CVE was developed in Europe and the US but was exported internationally via UN Security Council Resolution 2178 which "requires governments to take action to counter violent extremism (CVE)."

Many human rights groups observe that CVE has been used to persecute Muslims post 9/11.
What you may not realize is that CVE is the program used by:

- Mukhabarat in Arab countries
- China to target Uighurs
- BJP to target Indian Muslims
- Israel to target Palestinians

The "Global War on Terror" is a global war on Islam and CVE is the policy behind it.
You can read more about CVE and how it is weaponized to attack and cripple the Muslim community in the US, UK, EU and the world:

Now, I'm getting back to Jay.

Many Muslim orgs have directly worked with the US gov on CVE, hired CVE operatives, or received CVE grants.

MuslimSkeptic has several articles on this regarding orgs like Yaqeen Inst, ISPU, & more:

muslimskeptic.com/2020/04/20/yaq…

muslimskeptic.com/2020/04/20/yaq…
But, the worst offender is MPAC.

MPAC pretends to be a Muslim advocacy org while in reality working with the feds to surveil and entrap Muslims.

Here is a report on just how corrupt and sleazy MPAC is and how deep their lies and deception really go: ehsan.substack.com/p/mpacs-long-c…
MPAC was so thoroughly shamed for their involvement with CVE, they were forced to issue a disingenuous apology (that did nothing to fix all the damage theyve done): archive.ph/7cJJA

The admission of guilt was especially dishonest bc MPAC is back to working with the feds!
.@SalamAlmarayati MPAC's president has been involved with the Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden admins. He was working with the US gov immediately after 9/11, advising the Bush admin on how best to fight "radical Islam."

archive.ph/NSa4l

archive.ph/gLYjp
What is amazing about Al-Marayati is that he was even working (quietly) with the Trump admin's Dept of Homeland Security. Most American Muslims, even the most morally bankrupt sell-outs, stayed clear of the Trump admin to save their reputation, but not Salam!
His work with DHS continued into the Biden admin.

In Sept 2022, Al-Marayati was appointed to the DHS Faith Based Security Advisory Council.

The Council includes hardcore Zionists, Hindutva-aligned Indians tied to RSS, and career shills and CVE veterans like Al-Marayati.
The uber-Zionist org Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council immediately celebrates the appointment of pro-Zionist CVE shills like Mohamed Magid and Talib Shareef, the other two "Muslims" on the council with Al-Marayati.
Now what does this Faith Based Council do exactly?

Jay and other shills working for the feds claim it is just about "protecting houses of worship."

But let's take a closer look...
The DHS website says that one of the main objectives is information sharing between feds and faith based orgs. What kind of information (i.e., surveillance) do faith based orgs share with the feds?

archive.ph/8T2hk
What "information sharing" between sell out imams and Muslim orgs involves is basically surveillance. Any Muslim that is "suspicious" or "too religious" or "extreme" gets reported to the FBI and DHS via Fusion Centers and other gov liaisons.
A lot more can be said about how the US gov uses orgs like MPAC to spy on and police Muslim religious beliefs. But let's move on to Jay's role in all this.

Jay started his new role at MPAC in Oct 2022. This was shortly after Al-Marayati's DHS appointment.
MPAC's current involvement with DHS and Jay's position as director raises many troubling questions.

The US gov and colonial states have a long history of using "native informants" like Marayati and Hashmi to advance liberal repression of Muslims.

See:
Hashmi fits *perfectly* the profile of what RAND calls the "modernists." These are "Muslim" reformers who are supported by the US gov to push Islamic reform and secularization onto the Muslim community.

See RAND's Civil Democratic Islam, pg 63
Notice how RAND emphasizes that modernists need to be supported in competing with fundamentalist/traditionalist Muslims.

This is why Jay is so eager to debate me and others. His employment at MPAC with its fed-backing enables this kind of work, pushing Islamic reform.
Some of the liberal heresy Hashmi pushes:

- Hadith cannot be relied upon
- Stories of the prophets in the Quran are all myths/legends
- Anyone who identifies as Muslim should be considered one, even if he worships idols and is a polytheist
- Islam accepts all religions as valid
What makes Hashmi more malicious than the average native informant is that he constantly accuses Muslims of being affiliated with ISIS or other terror groups in order to get them in trouble with feds.

For example, he has accused me of being "one step away" from suicide bombing.
He has accused prominent Muslims figures like @Farid_0v and @DrTalAbdulrazaq of being ISIS supporters or "one step away" from becoming ISIS.
When confronted for his dangerous rhetoric that endangers the lives of Muslims and their families, Hashmi either laughs it off or makes mealy-mouthed disingenuous half-apologies that he follows up with liking other ppl's tweets accusing the same Muslims of being ISIS.
But Hashmi's CVE work doesn't end there.

Recently he tried to implicate Deobandis as radicalizing Muslims extremists. He says that Deobandis inspire terror networks. Notice how he says that what inspires terror is religious dogmatism. This is straight from CVE, as we saw above.
Ironically, when it is convenient for him, Hashmi acknowledges that baselessly accusing people of being ISIS or Taliban supporters is "clear Islamophobia."

This is the doublespeak Hashmi engages in to dupe his few followers.
Hashmi claims that he is anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism. Yet his actually statements and behavior as well as his employment with MPAC, a DHS-sponsored federal agency, tell a very different story.

Anyone can claim anything. But actions and affiliations don't lie.
Now, since Hashmi has begged to debate me on modernism, I have accepted. I agree to debate him on how modernism is pushed by native informants who work for liberal governments, as exemplified by MPAC and Hashmi.

Hashmi claims that this topic is not relevant to Islamic modernism.

This shows Hashmi's deep ignorance of the historical and political dimensions of modernism and its weaponization against the Muslim community.
Hashmi wants to arbitrarily limit the scope of debate in order to avoid the most problematic aspects of his ideology and his work. He says if I do not accept his convenient limitations, I am "scared."

No, Jay. You are scared. I am happy to debate you on modernism in your work.
I have even offered Jay a second debate as consolation. If he debates me on native informants and MPAC's work for CVE and the feds, I will happily debate him on other aspects of modernism in a second debate.

Why doesn't Hashmi agree to this?
Is it because he does not have permission from his handlers at DHS? Does his fed-funded salary not cover debates that blow his cover and the cover of his boss @SalamAlmarayati?

What kind of "information sharing" are you doing with DHS, Javad? Where is the transparency?
No Muslim should engage with this murtad shill until he agrees to be scrutinized by the Muslim community he has been deputized by the US gov to attack.

It is unethical to share a platform with someone who very well may be covertly reporting our community to the government.

THREAD: Who is Cory Mills? And who is his wife? ...and who is his mistress?

Last week, US Congressman Mills had a 90 min meeting with Syrian pres. Sharaa.

But many are unaware of Mills' shocking history in the Middle East and his Zionist connections. Image
In 2024, AIPAC gave Mills over $23,261 for his campaign for congressional seat in Florida. Image
The week after Oct 7th, CNN interviewed Mills regarding his involvement emergency evacuating Americans out of Israel.

🧵 Short thread on how Ibn Taymiyya radically differs from Ibn Abd al-Wahhab in terms of takfir.

When people ask you: "What is unique about Wahhabi views?" or "How do they differ from those of the Salaf, of Ahl al-Sunna, and Ibn Taymiyya?" — this thread has the answer!
FIRST

Ibn Taymiyya believes in al-Udhr bi-l-Jahl (excusing for ignorance) for istighatha (making requests from the dead) and similar acts. He does not takfir as long as there is Udhr bi-l-Jahl.

By contrast, Ibn Abd al-Wahhab and his followers either deny al-Udhr bi-ll-Jahl for istighatha, or strongly restrict its scope (e.g., by arguing that simply hearing the Quran suffices for Iqama al-Hujja and removal of al-Udhr bi-l-Jahl).

Such followers of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab include Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan, Abdullah ibn Abd al-Latif, Sulayman ibn Sahman, Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, Ibn Baz, and Fawzan.
SECOND

Ibn Taymiyya believes that it is legitimate for a scholar to refrain from takfiring the individual who does istighatha, and similar acts, based on al-Udhr bi-l-Jahl. And in fact, this is the policy he followed himself.

By contrast, Ibn Abd al-Wahhab and his followers hold that whosever refrains from takfiring the individual who does istighatha is a kafir himself (chain takfir).

A person might refrain from takfiring because he grants the person who does istighatha al-Udhr bi-l-Jahl or because he is not certain that istighatha is shirk akbar.

Such followers of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab include Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan, Abdullah ibn Abd al-Latif, Sulayman ibn Sahman, Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, Ibn Baz, and Fawzan.

THREAD: Who Are the Wahhabis?

Since I am nonstop posting about this deviant sect, let me define who they are for those who are unfamiliar.

"Wahhabi" refers to Muslims who follow the deviant teachings of 18th century figure Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab. Image
What makes Ibn Abd al-Wahhab deviant is he follows in the footsteps of the kharijites, who were the first deviant group of Islam.

The kharijites were deviant because they declared the majority of Muslims to be disbelievers and waged jihad against them, murdering them and stealing their property.

Ibn Abd-Wahhab revived this murderous ideology in the 18th century.

He declared that the vast majority of Muslims and scholars of his time were kafir apostates. This is because only he understands tawhid in the whole world. So only he and his followers are actually Muslim.Image
After declaring the Muslim world to be kafir, Ibn Abd al-Wahhab proceeded to declare jihad against the Ottoman Empire. Him and his murderous band of followers proceeded to commit massacres in many Muslim cities, not only in central Arabia, but also Mecca, Madina, Iraq, and Syria. Image

THREAD: Are Imam Ahmad and Ibn Taymyyia kafir mushriks who deserve to be killed according to Ibn Abd al-Wahhab (MIAW)?

Supporters of MIAW claim that he followed Imam Ahmad and Ibn Taymiyya in aqida. But this is demonstrably false.

According to MIAW's aqida, both Imam Ahmad and Ibn Taymiyya are kafir mushriks who deserved to be killed for apostasy.

In this thread, I will justify this with citations inshaAllah.

At the end of the thread, I will test the supporters of MIAW to check if they have sound aqida or not.
In MIAW's book Kashf al-Shubuhat, MIAW says that the pagan mushriks called out to the righteous, prophets, trees, and also ANGELS AND JINN.

“[And] just as they (the Mushriks) used to also call upon [Allah] day and night, then amongst them were those who would call upon the angels for intercession on account of their righteousness and nearness to Allah. They also called upon the righteous people, such as al-Lat or to a prophet such as Isa. [...]

“And when you have come to know that their [mere] affirmation of Tawhid al-Rububiyya did not enter them into Islam, and that their seeking the Angels, or the Prophets, or the Righteous, seeking their intercession and seeking nearness to Allah through all of that was the reason that made their blood and wealth lawful.

“[When you have come to know all of these affairs], then you will have come to know [the true nature] of the Tawhid which the Messengers invited to and which the Mushriks refused to affirm and accept. And this Tawhid is the meaning of “La ilaha illa Allah”. For a deity in the view of the mushriks is the one who is sought for the sake of these affairs, whether it be an angel, a prophet, a tree, a grave or a jinn.”

[Ibn Abd al-Wahhab, Kashf al-Shubuhat]

وَعَرَفْتَ أَنَّ التَّوْحِيدَ الَّذِي جَحَدُوهُ؛ هُوَ تَوْحِيدُ العِبَادَةِ - الَّذِي يُسَمِّيهِ المُشْرِكُونَ فِي زَمَانِنَا «الِاعْتِقَادَ» -، كَمَا كَانُوا يَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً، ثُمَّ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَدْعُو المَلَائِكَةَ لِأَجْلِ صَلَاحِهِمْ وَقُرْبِهِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِيَشْفَعُوا لَهُ ، أَوْ يَدْعُو رَجُلاً صَالِحاً - مِثْلَ اللَّاتِ -، أَوْ نَبِيّاً - مِثْلَ عِيسَى -.

وَعَرَفْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَاتَلَهُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الشِّرْكِ، وَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى إِخْلَاصِ العِبَادَةِ لِلَّهِ ؛ كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى: {فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا}، وَقَالَ: {لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ}.

وَتَحَقَّقْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَاتَلَهُمْ؛ لِيَكُونَ الدُّعَاءُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ، وَالذَّبْحُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ ، وَالنَّذْرُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ ، وَالِاسْتِغَاثَةُ كُلُّهَا بِاللَّهِ ، وَجَمِيعُ أَنْوَاعِ العِبَادَةِ كُلُّهَا لِلَّهِ.

وَعَرَفْتَ أَنَّ إِقْرَارَهُمْ بِتَوْحِيدِ الرُّبُوبِيَّةِ لَمْ يُدْخِلْهُمْ فِي الإِسْلَامِ، وَأَنَّ قَصْدَهُمُ المَلَائِكَةَ وَالأَنْبِيَاءَ وَالأَوْلِيَاءَ - يُرِيدُونَ شَفَاعَتَهُمْ وَالتَّقَرُّبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِذَلِكَ - هُوَ الَّذِي أَحَلَّ دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ

عَرَفْتَ حِينَئِذٍ التَّوْحِيدَ الَّذِي دَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ الرُّسُلُ، وَأَبَى عَنِ الإِقْرَارِ بِهِ المُشْرِكُونَ

وَهَذَا التَّوْحِيدُ هُوَ مَعْنَى قَوْلِكَ: «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ»؛ فَإِنَّ «الإِلَهَ» عِنْدَهُمْ هُوَ الَّذِي يُقْصَدُ لِأَجْلِ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ؛ سَوَاءٌ كَانَ مَلَكاً، أَوْ نَبِيّاً، أَوْ وَلِيّاً ، أَوْ شَجَرَةً ، أَوْ قَبْراً، أَوْ جِنِّيّاً لَمْ يُرِيدُوا أَنَّ «الإِلَهَ » هُوَ الخَالِقُ الرَّازِقُ المُدَبِّرُ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ لِلَّهِ وَحْدَهُ - كَمَا قَدَّمْتُ لَكَ -.

وَإِنَّمَا يَعْنُونَ بِـ «الإِلَهِ »: مَا يَعْنِي المُشْرِكُونَ فِي زَمَانِنَا بِلَفْظِ «السَّيِّدِ
While MIAW considered it an act of shirk, Imam Ahmad believed it was permissible to call out to angels, seeking their aid, and he did this himself on at least one occasion.

There is a famous hadith which legitimates calling out for help to angels as “slaves of Allah.” Although the authenticity of this hadith is questioned, it is clear that some major early scholars like Imam Ahmad accepted it. This is reported by his son.

“‘Abdullah the son of Imam Ahmad said: “I heard my father say: ‘I performed Hajj five times, twice riding and three times walking [...]. I lost my way during one Hajj and I was walking, so I began to call out: O slaves of Allah show me the way! I kept doing that until I found the road.’”

[Abdullah ibn Ahmad Imam Ahmad, Masa’il al-Imam Ahmad]

قال عبد الله بن الإمام أحمد : سمعت أبي يقول : حججْت خمس حجج ، منها ثنتين راكبًا ، وثلاثة ماشياً أو ثِنْتَيْنِ ماشياً وثلاثة راكبًا ، فضللت الطَّرِيق في حجَّة ، وكنت مَاشِيا ، فجعلت أقول : يا عباد الله دلوني على الطَّرِيق ، فلم أزل أقول ذلك حتى وقفتُ على الطريق ".

MEGA THREAD: The Kharijism of Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab (MIAW) and How Some of His Follower Do Taqiyya to Hide His Views from the Public, While Avoiding Debate

MIAW is on record as saying he discovered the meaning of Tawhid, and that no one understood it before him.

He considered all the Muslims around him to be kafir mushriks.

MIAW and his followers then began to spread his new ideas about tawhid by teaching books on tawhid and aqida written by MIAW (this process continues to this day).

Based on his new ideas about Tawhid, MIAW made mass takfir of Muslims, declared them to be kafir mushriks, and claimed he had an obligation to fight them, kill them, take their wealth, and take their women in jihad.

He also denied these Muslims any type of al-udhr bi-l-jahl (excuse of ignorance).

In holding these views, MIAW promoted a type of doctrine similar to kharijism.

This is why virtually all the scholars of his time called him a khariji deviant at war with Ahl al-Sunna.

Nevertheless, MIAW and his followers developed a practice of intentionally concealing their beliefs with a type of taqiyya.

They would sometimes tell outsiders that they did not takfir Muslims and gave them al-udhr bi-l-jahl. This continues on to this day.

Owing to their lies and taqiyya, some scholars (like al-San`ani) initially praised them, but then later denounced them once they discovered their reality.

In order to avoid being discovered, MIAW's followers also developed a practice of avoiding public debates (which continues on to this day).

Here is exhaustive evidence for these points.

NOTE: I am not saying all the current supporters of MIAW are deliberately hiding MIAW's true beliefs. Most of them are just unaware of all of MIAW's writing and his life story because there has been a massive propaganda effort to conceal the true history and beliefs of MIAW by the Saudi state over many decades.

But some of MIAW's followers do know his true beliefs and they secretly do takfir the vast majority of the Ummah for not having "correct" aqida. These followers are the ones doing taqiyya.Image
FIRST PART: THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT MIAW MADE MASS TAKFIR

Here are four clear examples but there are many others:

Declaring that the those who live in the Ottoman lands are kafir mushrikin, MIAW says:

"Do not neglect seeking and learning about Tawhid, using the Book of Allah, and reflecting deeply upon it. You have heard in the Book of Allah what provides lessons, such as their saying: "We are monotheists; we know that Allah is the One who gives benefit and harm, and that the prophets and others have no power to bring benefit or harm. But we only seek intercession." And you have heard how Allah has clarified the response to this in His Book, as well as what the scholars of tafsir and knowledge have said.

"You have also heard the polytheists say: "Shirk is the worship of idols, but not the worship of the righteous." And you have heard their claim: "We seek only from Allah, but we use their status [as intermediaries]." You have also heard what Allah has mentioned in response to all of this.

"Allah has blessed you with the acknowledgment of the scholars of the polytheists [i.e., scholars of the apparent Muslims] regarding all of this. You have heard their admission that the practices taking place in the Two Holy Sanctuaries [Makka and Madina], Basra, Iraq, and Yemen are acts of shirk [i.e., associating] with [Allah]. They have admitted to you that the religion whose people they support -- and who they claim are the great majority – they have admitted to you that their religion [i.e., that of apparent Muslims] is [in fact] shirk.

"They have also admitted to you that the Tawhid they strive to extinguish, and strive to kill and imprison its adherents, is the religion of Allah and His Messenger. This admission from them against themselves is one of the greatest signs of Allah and one of His greatest blessings upon you. No doubt remains with this, except for a dead heart upon which Allah has placed a seal. And for such a heart, there is no way out."

فلا تغفلوا عن طلب التوحيد وتعلمه، واستعمال كتاب الله وإجالة الفكر فيه; وقد سمعتم من كتاب الله ما فيه عبرة، مثل قولهم: نحن موحدون، نعلم أن الله هو النافع الضار، وأن الأنبياء وغيرهم لا يملكون نفعا ولا ضرا، لكن نريد الشفاعة، وسمعتم ما بين الله في كتابه، في جواب هذا، وما ذكر أهل التفسير وأهل العلم، وسمعتم قول المشركين: الشرك عبادة الأصنام، وأما الصالحون فلا، وسمعتم قولهم: لا نريد إلا من الله، لكن نريد بجاههم; وسمعتم ما ذكر الله في جواب هذا كله.

وقد منّ الله عليكم بإقرار علماء المشركين بهذا كله، سمعتم إقرارهم أن هذا الذي يفعل في الحرمين، والبصرة، والعراق، واليمن، أن هذا شرك بالله، فأقروا لكم أن هذا الدين الذي ينصرون أهله، ويزعمون أنهم

السواد الأعظم، أقروا لكم أن دينهم هو الشرك.

وأقروا لكم أيضا أن التوحيد الذي يسعون في إطفائه، وفي قتل أهله وحبسهم، أنه دين الله ورسوله؛ وهذا الإقرار منهم على أنفسهم، من أعظم آيات الله، ومن أعظم نعم الله عليكم، ولا يبقى شبهة مع هذا إلا للقلب الميت، الذي طبع الله عليه، وذلك لا حيلة فيه.

Al-Durar al-Saniyya (vol.10, p.7)

Declaring that Ottoman empire and Makka are kafir muskriks, MIAW says:

"The second matter is disbelief in what they worship other than Allah. And the meaning of that is takfir of the musrikin. So whoever does not make takfir upon the mushrikin of the turkish state [i.e. the Ottoman Muslims] and the grave-worshippers like the people of Makkah and [upon] others from those who worship the righteous and left the Tawhid of Allah for shirk and exchanged the Sunna of his Messenger with innovations, then he is a disbeliever like them even if dislikes their religion und hates them and loves Islam and its people.'

"This is so because the one who does not takfir the mushrikin does not accept the Quran as true. The Quran has made takfir of the musrikin, and commanded [us] to make takfir of them, and to show enmity towards them and to fight them."

الأمر الثاني: الكفر بما يعبد من دون الله، والمراد بذلك تكفير المشركين، والبراءة منهم، ومما يعبدون مع الله. فمن لم يكفر المشركين من الدولة التركية، وعباد القبور، كأهل مكة وغيرهم، ممن عبد الصالحين، وعدل عن توحيد الله إلى الشرك، وبدّل سنّة رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم بالبدع، فهو كافر مثلهم، وإن كان يكره دينهم، ويبغضهم، ويحب الإسلام والمسلمين ; فإن الذي لا يكفر المشركين، غير مصدق بالقرآن، فإن القرآن قد كفر المشركين، وأمر بتكفيرهم، وعداوتهم وقتالهم.

Al-Durar al-Saniyya (vol.9, p.291)

Declaring that the vast majority of Syrian Muslims are kafir mushriks who worship Ibn Arabi, MIAW says:

"And their leader is Ibn Arabi. Do they think that [the Syrians] do not say “There is no god but Allah?” But he came from Syria, [where] they worship Ibn Arabi, placing an idol on his grave that they worship. I do not mean all the people of Syria -far be it from me to claim that! Rather, there will always remain a group upon the truth, even if they are few and become strangers."

وإمامهم: ابن عربي، أيظنهم لا يقولون: لا إله إلا الله؟! لكن هو أتى من الشام، وهم يعبدون ابن عربي، جاعلين على قبره صنما يعبدونه، ولست أعني أهل الشام كلهم، حاشا وكلا; بل لا تزال طائفة على الحق، وإن قلّت، واغتربت.

Al-Durar al-Saniyya (vol.2, p.245)

MIAW claims that the majority of the Najd and Hijaz do not know Islam and deny the resurrection, implying they are kafirs. MIAW says:

"It is known regarding the people of our land [i.e. Najd] and the land of al-Hijaz, that those who reject the resurrection are more than those who believe in it, and those who do not know the religion are more than those who know it, and those who do not pray are more than those who pray, and those who refuse to pay zakat are more than those who pay it."

ومعلوم: أن أهل أرضنا، وأرض الحجاز، الذي ينكر البعث منهم أكثر ممن يقر به، والذي يعرف الدين أقل ممن لا يعرفه، والذي يضيع الصلاة أكثر من الذي يحافظ عليها، والذي يمنع الزكاة أكثر ممن يؤديها؛ فإن

Al-Durar al-Saniyya (vol.10, p.43)
SECOND PART: THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT IBN ABD AL-WAHHAB EXPLICITLY REJECTED AL-UDHR BI-L-JAHL

The mass takfir mentioned in the quotes above is strong proof of this. But here are two additional quotes;

MIAW says:

[Doubt Regarding the Takfir of a Specific Person for Whom the Proof Has Been Established]

"To proceed: What you mentioned regarding the statement of the Shaykh, "Whoever denies such-and-such, and the proof has been established for him," and your doubt concerning whether the proof has been established for these taghuts and their followers, this is indeed surprising. How can you doubt this when I have clarified it to you repeatedly?!

"The one for whom the proof has not been established is the one who is new to Islam, or the one who was raised in a distant desert, or if it is concerning a subtle matter, such as issues related to sarf [a form of sorcery] and ‘atf [another form of sorcery], then such a person is not declared a disbeliever until they are made aware of it.

"As for the fundamentals of the religion (usul al-din), which Allah has clarified and made firm in His Book, Allah’s proof is the Qur'an. Whoever the Qur'an reaches, the proof has reached him. However, the root of the confusion lies in your failure to distinguish between the establishment of the proof (qiyam al-hujjah) and the understanding of the proof (fahm al-hujjah).

"Most disbelievers and hypocrites among the Muslims have not understood Allah’s proof, even though it has been established for them, as Allah, the Most High, said:

"Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are like cattle; rather, they are even more astray in their way." [Quran 25:44].

"The establishment of the proof is one matter, and its reaching someone is another matter. It has been established for them, but their understanding of it is a separate matter. Their disbelief occurs due to the proof reaching them, even if they do not understand it.

"If this remains unclear to you, consider the Prophet’s ﷺ statement about the Khawarij: “Wherever you meet them, kill them,” and his saying: “They are the worst of those killed under the heavens.” This was despite them existing during the era of the Companions. One would belittle the actions of the Companions in comparison to theirs, and it was agreed that what expelled them from the religion was their extremism and interpretation (ijtihad), even though they thought they were obeying Allah. The proof had reached them, but they did not understand it.

"Similarly, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) killed those who believed in his divinity and burned them with fire, even though they were students of the Companions. Despite their acts of worship, prayer, and fasting, they thought they were upon the truth.

"The same applies to the consensus of the Salaf regarding the takfir of the extreme Qadariyyah and others, despite their knowledge, intense worship, and belief that they were doing good. None of the Salaf hesitated to declare them disbelievers just because they did not understand, for indeed, none of these individuals understood.

"If you know this, then what you are dealing with is disbelief: people worshipping taghuts, opposing the religion of Islam, and claiming that it is not apostasy because they might not have understood the proof. All of this is clear.

"Even more evident than the aforementioned is the example of those whom Ali burned, for it is similar to this. As for sending the statements of the Shafi'is and others, it is not to be imagined that anything more [definitive] will come to you than what has already reached you. If some confusion still remains with you, then turn to Allah, the Most High, and ask Him to remove it from you."

[الشك في تكفير المعين الذي قامت عليه الحجة]

وله أيضا، أسكنه الله الفردوس الأعلى:

بسم الله الرحمن الر حيم

إلى الإخوان، سلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.

وبعد: ما ذكرتم من قول الشيخ: كل من جحد كذا وكذا، وقامت عليه الحجة، وأنكم شاكون في هؤلاء الطواغيت وأتباعهم، هل قامت عليهم الحجة؟ فهذا من العجب، كيف تشكون في هذا وقد أوضحته لكم مرارا؟! فإن الذي لم تقم عليه الحجة، هو الذي حديث عهد بالإسلام، والذي نشأ ببادية بعيدة، أو يكون ذلك في مسألة خفية، مثل الصرف والعطف، فلا يكفر حتى يعرف.

وأما أصول الدين التي أوضحها الله وأحكمها في كتابه، فإن حجة الله هو القرآن، فمن بلغه القرآن فقد بلغته الحجة؛ ولكن أصل الإشكال، أنكم لم تفرقوا بين قيام الحجة، وبين فهم الحجة، فإن أكثر الكفار والمنافقين من

المسلمين، لم يفهموا حجة الله مع قيامها عليهم، كما قال تعالى: {أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلاً} ١.

وقيام الحجة نوع، وبلوغها نوع، وقد قامت عليهم، وفهمهم إياها نوع آخر; وكفرهم ببلوغها إياهم، وإن لم يفهموها. إن أشكل عليكم ذلك، فانظروا قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم في الخوارج: " أينما لقيتموهم فاقتلوهم " ٢،وقوله: " شر قتلى تحت أديم السماء " ٣، مع كونهم في عصر الصحابة، ويحقر الإنسان عمل الصحابة معهم، ومع إجماع الناس أن الذي أخرجهم من الدين هو التشدد والغلو والاجتهاد؛ وهم يظنون أنهم يطيعون الله، وقد بلغتهم الحجة، ولكن لم يفهموها.

وكذلك قتل علي رضي الله عنه الذين اعتقدوا فيه، وتحريقهم بالنار، مع كونهم تلاميذ الصحابة، ومع عبادتهم وصلاتهم وصيامهم، وهم يظنون أنهم على حق.

وكذلك إجماع السلف: على تكفير غلاة القدرية وغيرهم، مع علمهم وشدة عبادتهم، وكونهم يحسبون أنهم يحسنون صنعا؛ ولم يتوقف أحد من السلف في تكفيرهم لأجل كونهم لم يفهموا، فإن هؤلاء كلهم لم يفهموا. إذا علمتم ذلك، فإن هذا الذي أنتم فيه كفر: الناس يعبدون الطواغيت، ويعادون دين الإسلام، فيزعمون أنه ليس ردة

، لعلهم ما فهموا الحجة، كل هذا بين.

وأظهر مما تقدم: الذين حرقهم علي، فإنه يشابه هذا. وأما إرسال كلام الشافعية وغيرهم، فلا يتصور يأتيكم أكثر مما أتاكم، فإن كان معكم بعض الإشكال، فارغبوا إلى الله تعالى أن يزيله عنكم، والسلام.

Al-Durar al-Saniyya (vol.10, p.93)

MIAW says:

"And it also teaches you great fear; for if you understand that a person can commit disbelief (yakfur) with a single word that comes from his tongue – and he may say it while being ignorant, and he is not excused for his ignorance - or he may say it while thinking it brings him closer to Allah, just as the disbelievers thought.

"Especially if Allah inspires you to reflect on what He narrated about the people of Moses, despite their righteousness and knowledge, when they came to him and said: "Make for us a god just as they have gods" [Quran 7:138]. At that point, your fear will intensify, as will your desire for that which saves you from this and its like."

وَأَفَادَكَ - أَيْضاً -: الخَوْفَ العَظِيمَ؛ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا عَرَفْتَ أَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يَكْفُرُ بِكَلِمَةٍ يُخْرِجُهَا مِنْ لِسَانِهِ ، وَقَدْ يَقُولُهَا وَهُوَ جَاهِلٌ؛ فَلَا يُعْذَرُ بِالجَهْلِ ، وَقَدْ يَقُولُهَا وَهُوَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا تُقَرِّبُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ - كَمَا ظَنَّ الكُفَّارُ -.

خُصُوصاً إِنْ أَلْهَمَكَ اللَّهُ مَا قَصَّ عَنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَى - مَعَ صَلَاحِهِمْ وَعِلْمِهِمْ - أَنَّهُمْ أَتَوْهُ قَائِلِينَ: {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ}.

فَحِينَئِذٍ يَعْظُمُ خَوْفُكَ وَحِرْصُكَ عَلَى مَا يُخَلِّصُكَ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَمْثَالِهِ.

THREAD: The Deviant Takfiri Ideology of Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab

The modern Salafi movement is heterogeneous. It is shaped by three key figures: Ibn Hanbal, Ibn Taymiyya, and Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792) .

Most Salafis actually focus on Ibn Hanbal and Ibn Taymiyya but know little about the teachings of Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab. Indeed, constant efforts are made to conceal these teachings because they are so deviant and so shocking.

In reality, people like Jake, Proving Islam, Wajdi, and Rabbi Faris are either heavily influenced by Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab or allied with others who are heavily influenced by Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab.

When these individuals talk about teaching Tawhid and Aqida, what they really mean is teaching the deviant takfiri views of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab, which are contained in texts like Kitab al-Tawhid and Kashf al-Shubuhat.

Consider the following basic facts about Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab's life.

(1) He declared that he discovered the meaning of Tawhid and that no one else in his era understood its meaning.

(2) He declared that the people of the entire Muslim world - including Makka, Madina, Egypt, and Syria - had become kafir mushriks because they did not understand his ideas about Tawhid.

(3) He declared that the Muslims of his era were farther from Islam, and worse mushriks than the pre-Islamic pagans who had explicitly rejected Islam made war against the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

(4) He claimed that he an an Islamic duty to fight all the mushriks in Muslims lands, kill them, and take their wealth in a jihad.

(5) He denied that mushriks claiming to be Muslim had any kind of excuse for their ignorance of Tawhid (al-'Udhr bi-l-Jahl). (Although this fact is commonly concealed by apologists using incomplete and misleading quotations from Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab's writings).

Let us look at some key quotes from Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab.
Only He Understands Tawhid

Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab says:

I will tell you about myself – I swear by Allah, the One besides whom there is no deity worthy of worship - I sought knowledge, and those who knew me thought that I had understanding. But at that time, I did not know the meaning of “La ilaha illa Allah”, nor did I know the religion of Islam before this blessing that Allah bestowed on me. Likewise, none of my teachers knew it.

Whoever among the scholars of Al-'Arid claims that they knew the meaning of “La ilaha illa Allah” or understood the meaning of Islam before this time, or whoever claims that one of their teachers knew it, has lied, fabricated, deceived the people, and praised themselves for something they do not possess.

وأنا أخبركم عن نفسي والله الذي لا إله إلا هو، لقد طلبت العلم، واعتقد من عرفني أن لي معرفة، وأنا ذلك الوقت، لا أعرف معنى لا إله إلا الله، ولا أعرف دين الإسلام، قبل هذا الخير الذي من الله به؛ وكذلك مشايخي، ما منهم رجل عرف ذلك.

فمن زعم من علماء العارض: أنه عرف معنى لا إله إلا الله، أو عرف معنى الإسلام قبل هذا الوقت، أو زعم من مشايخه أن أحدا عرف ذلك، فقد كذب وافترى، ولبس على الناس، ومدح نفسه بما ليس فيه

The Entire Muslim World has Fallen into Shirk

Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab says:

Do not neglect seeking and learning about Tawhid, using the Book of Allah, and reflecting deeply upon it. You have heard in the Book of Allah what provides lessons, such as their saying: "We are monotheists; we know that Allah is the One who gives benefit and harm, and that the prophets and others have no power to bring benefit or harm. But we only seek intercession." And you have heard how Allah has clarified the response to this in His Book, as well as what the scholars of tafsir and knowledge have said.

You have also heard the polytheists say: "Shirk is the worship of idols, but not the worship of the righteous." And you have heard their claim: "We seek only from Allah, but we use their status [as intermediaries]." You have also heard what Allah has mentioned in response to all of this.

Allah has blessed you with the acknowledgment of the scholars of the polytheists regarding all of this. You have heard their admission that the practices taking place in the Two Holy Sanctuaries [Makka and Madina], Basra, Iraq, and Yemen are acts of shirk [i.e., associating] with [Allah]. They have admitted to you that the religion whose people they support -- and who they claim are the great majority – they have admitted to you that their religion is [in fact] shirk.

They have also admitted to you that the Tawhid they strive to extinguish, and strive to kill and imprison its adherents, is the religion of Allah and His Messenger. This admission from them against themselves is one of the greatest signs of Allah and one of His greatest blessings upon you. No doubt remains with this, except for a dead heart upon which Allah has placed a seal. And for such a heart, there is no way out.

فلا تغفلوا عن طلب التوحيد وتعلمه، واستعمال كتاب الله وإجالة الفكر فيه; وقد سمعتم من كتاب الله ما فيه عبرة، مثل قولهم: نحن موحدون، نعلم أن الله هو النافع الضار، وأن الأنبياء وغيرهم لا يملكون نفعا ولا ضرا، لكن نريد الشفاعة، وسمعتم ما بين الله في كتابه، في جواب هذا، وما ذكر أهل التفسير وأهل العلم، وسمعتم قول المشركين: الشرك عبادة الأصنام، وأما الصالحون فلا، وسمعتم قولهم: لا نريد إلا من الله، لكن نريد بجاههم; وسمعتم ما ذكر الله في جواب هذا كله.

وقد منّ الله عليكم بإقرار علماء المشركين بهذا كله، سمعتم إقرارهم أن هذا الذي يفعل في الحرمين، والبصرة، والعراق، واليمن، أن هذا شرك بالله، فأقروا لكم أن هذا الدين الذي ينصرون أهله، ويزعمون أنهم

السواد الأعظم، أقروا لكم أن دينهم هو الشرك.

وأقروا لكم أيضا أن التوحيد الذي يسعون في إطفائه، وفي قتل أهله وحبسهم، أنه دين الله ورسوله؛ وهذا الإقرار منهم على أنفسهم، من أعظم آيات الله، ومن أعظم نعم الله عليكم، ولا يبقى شبهة مع هذا إلا للقلب الميت، الذي طبع الله عليه، وذلك لا حيلة فيه.
