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]

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. 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."

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

🧵 How to Acquire Child Slaves by Sodomizing Them According to the Talmud

This photo of a Jewish soldier menacing a Palestinian child has gone viral.

But what's the story here? The Talmud says it is permissible for Jews to kidnap non-Jewish children and make them slaves.

The Talmud views non-Jewish children as akin to animals.

So just as a Jew may acquire an animal roaming about, he may do the same to acquire a non-Jewish child as a slave. (Kiddushin 22b)

🧵 Judaism's Hebrew Bible promises that Jews will rule over non-Jews.

It says Jews are entitled to conquer and enslave all other peoples and permits them to slaughter women and children.

It also says they will rule by spreading fear and terror among all other peoples.

Although the Quran does endorse a type of religious imperialism (jihad), the ideas of the Hebrew Bible go far beyond anything found in the Quran.

Nevertheless, the Western media propagates the notion that the Quran is "dangerous," whereas the Hebrew Bible is simply a source of "ancient wisdom" (despite what we actually see in places like Gaza). Deuteronomy 15:6-

Jews are entitled to rule over non-Jewish nations.

Extremist Zionist Jews such as yourself are pathological liars with no conscience or principles (as everyone can see from Israel's behavior in Gaza).

That being said, if you want to question my claims about Judaism, why don't you engage with them in a direct fashion, rather than playing games?

----
First, I have claimed that Judaism and Jewish religious texts are filled with "hate and insults directed toward Jesus and his mother Mary."

In particular:

(1) the Talmud asserts that the Jews killed Jesus after a court session

(2) the Talmud asserts that this was a good Torah-compliant deed because Jesus was guilty of calling people to idolatry and practicing sorcery

(3) the Talmud asserts that Jesus has been punished with hell, where he is being tortured in a vat of feces

(4) the Talmud asserts that Jesus's mother Mary is a harlot guilty of fornication, and indicates that Jesus's putative virgin birth was actually a result of such fornication.

Do you dispute any of this? If so, which specific points do you dispute?

If you are having difficulty understanding things, let me provide a representative quote from the Talmud.

Consider Gittin 57a

"Onkelos then went and raised Jesus the Nazarene from the grave through necromancy. Onkelos said to him: Who is most important in that world where you are now? Jesus said to him: The Jewish people. Onkelos asked him: Should I then attach myself to them in this world? Jesus said to him: Their welfare you shall seek, their misfortune you shall not seek, for anyone who touches them is regarded as if he were touching the apple of his eye (see Zechariah 2:12).
Onkelos said to him: What is the punishment of that man, a euphemism for Jesus himself, in the next world? Jesus said to him: He is punished with boiling excrement. As the Master said: Anyone who mocks the words of the Sages will be sentenced to boiling excrement. And this was his sin, as he mocked the words of the Sages."



For an entire book on this topic, consult:

Princeton Professor Peter Schafer's "Jesus in the Talmud"


Second...sefaria.org/Gittin.57a.3-4…
press.princeton.edu/books/paperbac… Second I have claimed that Judaism and Jewish texts "boast that Jews killed Jesus, and that this is justified as a good act."

I have mentioned this point above: "(1) the Talmud asserts that the Jews killed Jesus after a court session (2) the Talmud asserts that this was a good Torah-compliant deed because Jesus was guilty of calling people to idolatry and practicing sorcery"

Once again, do you dispute any of these points? If so, which ones?

Here I will add a representative Talmudic quote on the subject.

Sanhedrin 43a

"The mishna teaches that a crier goes out before the condemned man. This indicates that it is only before him, i.e., while he is being led to his execution, that yes, the crier goes out, but from the outset, before the accused is convicted, he does not go out. The Gemara raises a difficulty: But isn’t it taught in a baraita: On Passover Eve they hung the corpse of Jesus the Nazarene after they killed him by way of stoning. And a crier went out before him for forty days, publicly proclaiming: Jesus the Nazarene is going out to be stoned because he practiced sorcery, incited people to idol worship, and led the Jewish people astray. Anyone who knows of a reason to acquit him should come forward and teach it on his behalf. And the court did not find a reason to acquit him, and so they stoned him and hung his corpse on Passover eve."

Madkhali Government Funding Revealed:

The Case of Abu Khadeejah and Pro-Israel Muslims

As I’ve covered for over a year now, the Madkhalis are a deviant group that was created by Saudi and UAE intelligence to trick Muslims worldwide into thinking that Gulf policies, no matter how anti-Islamic, should never be criticized.

According to Madkhalis, if you or I criticize these countries for secularizing or for normalizing relations with Israel, our criticism constitutes “khuruj” and makes us heretics and terrorists who should be killed.

Madkhalis have been calling for my death for the past year now for this reason.

I have called the Madkhalis “agents.” The word “agent” can refer to someone who is literally on a pay-roll, but it can also refer to people who do the dirty work of the Gulf governments on a voluntary basis. Arguably, the latter are even more disgusting than the former because they work for free.

The Madkhalis have taken issue with me calling them “agents.” They have demanded that I provide proof that they are being paid by these governments.

Today, I am happy to publish some eye-opening information about the funding source of one prominent Madkhali in the UK: Abu Khadeejah (teacher and associate of ex-crackhead Shamsi).

Continue Reading: How Saudi Funds Madkhali Speakers

An examination of official British records casts light on how the Saudi government funds its Madkhali agents in the West.

Here we examine the case of Abu Khadeejah – leader of the British Madkhalis and the teacher of Shamsi.

The basic funding arrangement can be described as follows.

British Madkhalis establish companies. The Saudi government provides investment money for these companies and has Saudi officials sit on the boards of these companies. Madkhalis are then hired to work for the companies.

For their work, Madkhalis take various benefits including salaries and shares. In this way, through the company, the Saudi government provides regular payments to its Madkhali agents – rewarding them for disseminating state propaganda.

Meanwhile, the Madkhali agents hide their relationship to the Saudi government. They claim that they are not taking money from the Saudi government. Rather they only admit to working for a company. In reality, these shell companies are mainly funded and controlled by Saudi officials.

We now present the case of Abu Khadeejah (i.e., Waheed Alam, also known as Abdul Wahid).

To my knowledge, the most extensive explanation of how the Saudi government created the Madkhali movement can be found in a book published in 2011 by Harvard University Press.

The Book was written by Professor Stephane Lacroix. It is titled "Awakening Islam: The Politics of Religious Dissent in Contemporary Saudi Arabia."

There is a key ten page section on the creation of Madkhali movement (p.211-221) with many details, names, and dates.

It explains how the Saudi government channeled money, positions, and patronage to Madkhalis. As a result, many money-driven figures from marginalized groups were drawn to join the movement. In other words, Madkhalism has always focused on recruiting on poor talentless unprincipled individuals who are willing to sell themselves to the state. 

The book also explains how Madkhalis initiated the practice of monitoring all other religious Muslims to keep track of government critics - submitting regular reports on them to the secret police.

The book names key Madkhali figures, many of which came to be associated with the University of Madinah - which was transformed into a Madkhali propaganda center. These Madkhalis figures include Muhammad Aman al-Jami, Rabi bin Hadi al-Madkhali, Sulayman al-Ruhayli, Abd al-Salam al-Suhaymi, and Salih al-Suhaymi.

Although the book examines Madkhalism in Saudi Arabia, its insights are relevant to understanding Madkhalis in the West.

These are an online army of former hobos, crackheads, felons, failed rappers, and crossfit trainers, who work as government agents.

Like their counterparts in Saudi, they are poor talentless unprincipled individuals who are willing to sell themselves to the state. Anyone who has ever spoken with a Madkhali knows that they speak like rude low-IQ low class con artists and criminals.

The relevant section from the book is provided below. To post it on twitter I have had to omit footnotes in the text. (To access the footnote you must go to the original text). Note: The author uses the other popular term for Madkhalis which is "Jamis."

(p.211)
The Jamis: Between Purism and Loyalty

The first and most effective of these countermovements is known as the Jami movement.

In the aftermath of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, it
asserted itself as both an implacable opponent of the Sahwi opposition and an ardent defender of the royal family. It soon gave rise to a relatively organized network that extended its reach to most cities in the kingdom. The term “Jami,” which has become widespread, was first used by the Sahwis. It refers to Sheikh Muhammad Aman al-Jami, born in 1930, head of the Faculty of Hadith at the Islamic University of Medina and one of most vocal opponents of the Sahwi protest. As had been the case with “Sururi,” the use of “Jami” was intended to delegitimate the adversary by stigmatizing his foreign origin because al-Jami was from Ethiopia and immigrated to Saudi Arabia only when he was twenty. For lack of a more neutral term, however, the label “Jami” will be used here because the Jamis have refused to identify themselves other than by such unspecific qualifiers as “the salafis” or sometimes “the ulema of Medina,” because the most eminent among them were based there, mainly at the Islamic University. They were also recognizable because they sometimes added to their names the suffixes al-salafi or al-athari (from athar, tradition, that is, that of the Prophet and the pious ancestors), which the Sahwis deplored, arguing that only God could decide who was a proper salafi and who was not. Although al-Jami, despite himself, gave his name to the movement, its most emblematic figure was Sheikh Rabiʿ bin Hadi al-Madkhali.

Born in 1931, he taught until the late 1990s in the Faculty of Hadith at the Islamic University of Medina, which was chaired by al-Jami until his death in 1995. Although he was a student of al-Albani and had
briefly been close to the JSM [al-Jamaʿa al-Salafiyya
al-Muhtasiba] in the mid-1970s, al-Madkhali had
managed not to go to prison and thereafter had demonstrated exemplary loyalty to the regime. In the late 1980s he made a name in the Saudi religious field with a very controversial book, The Method Followed by the Prophets in Religious Preaching Contains Wisdom and Reason. Faithful to his Ahl al-Hadith beliefs, he explained that the priority in matters of daʿwa should be the purification of the creed.

He thus fiercely attacked the Pakistani ideologue Abu al-Aʿla Mawdudi, the founder of Jamaat-e Islami and a source of inspiration for Sayyid Qutb, for his concern with politics and his efforts to build an Islamic state in India “although the Indian people are ignorant of Islam and their religious practice is tainted with innovation and deviance.” In al-Madkhali’s view, Mawdudi’s priority should have been to correct
the creed of the Indians instead.
