Islam, The Numinous Way, and Zionist Rumours

The following replies are extracts from e-mails sent by me in response to questions submitted by e-mail. The first four questions were from a non-Muslim, living in Germany, who enquired about my earlier philosophy called The Numinous Way. The last question reproduced here was from a Muslim brother, in England, enquiring about rumours of me posting on non-Islamic Internet forums.

 

Felix: I can not understand why the islam and folk culture is opposed to each other because both are combatting the "modern west" and in the quest of helping to restore a - in lack of a term which refelcts islam and folk culture - "better world" both are nessesary

Abdul-Aziz: In respect of Islam and The Numinous Way of Folk Culture, there are many differences and incompatibilities. For instance, and in particular, the concept of "race"; that of nationalism, and that of racial separation. For Muslims, such things are Tawagheet - idols, fallible human-manufactured abstractions, which remove us from, and/or which cover-up, our true nature [fitrah] as human beings and which thus distance us from our knowing of, and our true relationship with, God: Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala). Such idols, such abstractions - and the attitudes, judgements and behaviour which they give rise - have no place in Islam.

Another difference is that I have found Deen Al-Islam not only to be the true representation of the numinous, but also a guide to how we human beings can be honourable and civilized. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that it is Deen Al-Islam which defines what is numinous, honourable and civilized, and this civilized, honourable and numinous Way of Life - Al-Islam - stands in stark contrast to the profane materialistic decadence of the modern world, and in particular in contrast to the hubris of the modern West.

Thus, my advice to you would be to investigate Islam: to learn about it; to talk with some honourable Muslims about it - and by "honourable Muslims" I mean those who strive, in their own lives, to follow the most perfect example of the Prophet, Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam); who submit only to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, and who thus possess dignity, humility, an awareness of the numinous (the sacred) and also the character of a true warrior.

For some years after my reversion to Deen Al-Islam I saught co-operation between Muslims and some adherents of National-Socialism and of nationalism - in order to fight our common enemies of Zionism, international finance, and the mis-named "New World Order" with its tyranny, its profane hubris. However, as I wrote in the second part of my brief Autobiographical Notes:

"I gradually came to understand two things. Firstly, that the majority of people involved today with the idea of racial separation, however they described themselves politically, were entrenched with their prejudiced attitudes, with their dislike, even hatred, of Islam and Muslims, but above all with an innate sense of superiority regarding what they called "Western civilization, culture, and values" which many if not most of them regarded as the creation of their own "superior" (or more "intelligent") White race. Thus did many of them support the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan by the Zionist-Crusader alliance, and thus did many of them say and write offensive things about Islam, about Muslims and about our beloved Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam). Hence, the more I pursued this strategy of co-operation, the more I became aware of the wide gulf, the difference, between us: the more acutely I felt, knew and understood, the nobility, the honour, of Muslims (and especially of the Mujahideen) who strove to obey only Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, and the hypocrisy, the dishonour, the arrogance, the hubris, the decadence, of the kuffar of the modern West. Perhaps, I thought - remembering what a loyal Comrade of Adolf Hitler once said to me - honourable National-Socialism had indeed died among the ruins of the Third Reich and with the defeat of the SS.

Secondly, I came to understand - as a result of my own deepening understanding of Deen Al-Islam aided by Muslims far more knowledgeable than I - that there really was no need for such co-operation: that my duty, as a Muslim, lay in presenting Islam, as it was, to the Unbelievers, and in personally striving to uphold, defend, and make the Word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala supreme."

I also came to understand that there was never going to be an uprising, a revolution, in any country of the West by the "radical Right" - because such people lacked a genuine faith (which would place their own lives in perspective); lacked a genuine love of their own people; and mostly lacked honour.

Thus, I abandoned striving for such co-operation, stating that:

"In respect of the so-called "extreme Right", this means we want them to revert to Deen Al-Islam - to reject the Taghut of "race and nation" - to thus discover their true nature, their fitrah, as Muslims who bow down to only Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and who are thus prepared to undertake Jihad as Muslims."

"I regard my earlier philosophy, which I first called "Folk Culture" and then The Numinous Way, as kufr - a concealment of the reality, the truth, of Tawheed, and thus as a manifestation of Jahiliyyah.”

Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt
28 Zhul al-Qidah 1428


Thus it is not the vision of adolf hitler which contradicts the islam and the numinous but the now existing "extreme right" and i thought that you pushed that vision forward in an ideal which is nowadays practical and is wating to be made real.

Bismillah.

This is certainly true is many respects, but, as I wrote:

Perhaps, I thought - remembering what a loyal Comrade of Adolf Hitler once said to me - honourable National-Socialism had indeed died among the ruins of the Third Reich and with the defeat of the SS.

The problem here was, and is, the real scarcity of honourable National-Socialists. Many who call themselves "National Socialists" today often talk and write about honour, but hardly any of them are honourable in their own personal lives, behave honourably or even know what true honour means. Thus, they lack dignity, manners, respect, self-awareness and self-control.


In respect of this i sill can not see the contradiction of islam and a self suifficent folk culture which is devoided to experiencing the numinous and which rejects abstract concepts.


You are correct: there is, in terms of actual communities, no such contradiction. That is, if there existed a Khilafah where Deen Al-Islam was implemented, and if there existed an honourable NS or folkish community, or society, which respected Muslims and Deen Al-Islam. Then there might and could and perhaps InshaAllah should be a mutual co-operation, to the advantage of both. This is what I envisaged when I saught such co-operation, and what Adolf Hitler, and others like him, envisaged.

But that does not mean to say that Deen Al-Islam and NS (or The Numinous Way) are compatible, or that a person could be both a Muslim and uphold either NS or The Numinous Way. In truth, they are incompatible, as I mentioned in the previous reply. No one can be both a Muslim and a National-Socialist; nor can someone be a Muslim and uphold the Numinous Way of Folk Culture. As for myself, I am a Muslim, and regard Deen Al-Islam as the most perfect expression of the numinous, here on this planet.

In respect of dealing with others, Muslims are called upon to act in an honourable way toward them, if such people act in an honourable way toward Muslims and Deen Al-Islam. As Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"Allah does not forbid you from treating honourably those who do not act against you because of your Deen, or who have not driven you from your dwellings, for Allah loves those who act with honour. But Allah forbids you from treating with respect, or befriending, those who act against you because of your Deen, or have driven you from your dwellings or aided others to do this - for those of you who do this are without honour." Quran 60: 8-9 Interpretation of Meaning

Also:

"There should be no coercion concerning a Way of Life." 2:256 Interpretation of Meaning

Like Sheikh Usama Bin Muhammad Bin Ladin (hafidhahullah) said:

We tell the Americans as a people, and we tell the mothers of soldiers - and American mothers in general - if they value their lives and those of their children, find a nationalistic government that will look after their interests, and not the interests of the Jews." Taken from an interview given on May 28 1998 CE

The problem is that those on the so-called "radical Right" - and this includes most who today call themselves NS - are disrespectful toward Muslims and Deen Al-Islam, and seem to take great delight (like Griffin of the BNP) in lambasting Deen Al-Islam and regarding "Islam" as "an enemy" or even as "the enemy". Thus it was and is pointless trying to strive for some sort of co-operation with such people and their organizations.

Thus have such people become, to all intents and purposes, lackeys of the Zionists. Just as National-Socialism was the heresy of the 1930's, and its adherents subject to a then unprecedented propaganda campaign by the Zionists and their lackeys, which resulted in the First Zionist War (and the creation of the Zionist entity in Palestine) so now is Deen Al-Islam (the Islam of Jihad and Khilafah) the modern heresy, and the subject of an unprecedented propaganda campaign by the Zionists and their lackeys. Already, there has been an invasion of two Muslim lands, and the Zionists and their lackeys are now intent on trying to manufacture a tame, "moderate" Islamic religion which they expect, even demand, that we Muslims adhere to, on pain of imprisonment, torture, "re-education", or death. Just look how far the Zionists and their lackeys have now gone in their quest to control the minds, the behaviour, of the peoples of the West; just consider the double-speak of the Zionists and their lackeys, and the tyrannical laws they have introduced, and the Police-State surveillance, in the name of "fighting terror". As a Muslim said a few years ago:

"Today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them." (Mahathir ibn Muhammad, Prime Minister of Malaysia, 19 Shaban 1424 / 16 October 2003 CE)

There have been persistent rumours - for example, on the VNN forum - that you are posting on some "White nationalist" and racist forums using an assumed name. Are these rumours correct?


All Praise and All Thanks are for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

No, the rumours are not correct. I have no interest whatsoever in posting on such forums - or even reading them - since I am Muslim and so reject the Tawagheet of nationalism, racism, racialism and racial separation.

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"Their way is to refer matters to a Taghut. " 4:60 Interpretation of Meaning

"Allah is the Wali of those who believe: from darkness, He leads them into the light, while those do not believe have, as their Wali, their Taghut so that they are led from light into darkness. For them, there is the Fire, where they shall dwell forever." 2: 257 Interpretation of Meaning

 

Furthermore, the majority of people on such forums consider Islam, and the Muslims, as their enemies. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with or even being kind toward those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam), even if they are their fathers or their sons or their kindred..." 58:22 Interpretation of the Meaning

Since my reversion to Islam over nine years ago, I have only ever posted items on Muslim newsgroups - such as soc.religion.islam - or on Muslim Internet forums, such as Islamic Awakening and the now closed MuslimCreed site, and in these instances I have only ever used my Muslim name, either in full (Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt) or abbreviated (Abdul-Aziz).


Why then do the rumours persist?

You might as well ask why do some people believe silly things and why do some persist in such a belief or beliefs when their error has been pointed out to them. To be honest, I do not know why they persist, although my assumption is that there are some individuals who, from whatever motive or motives, seek to cause trouble for me and thus persist in spreading lies, rumours and disinformation about me.


Are you referring to a certain individual who seems to be obsessed with you and who regularly pops-up on the Islamic Awakening forum whenever you post there?


Yes, him, among others. That particular individual is a Zionist zealot who supports the occupation of our lands, including Filistine, who has been stalking me for over seven years, and who has, on several occasions, insulted our beloved Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam). He has also sent me personally abusive e-mails (containing vulgar language) and then lied, in public, about sending those e-mails. I cordially invited him to Islam - an invitation he declined - and asked him several times to apologize for insulting the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) which he arrogantly refused to do. Since then, I have refused to engage in debate with him until he does apologize in public for insulting the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) as I consider it my duty, as a Muslim, to treat him in accord with Al-wala wal-bara.

As Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"There is a sickness within which ails them and Allah has increased this sickness because they lie even to themselves: For this, they will grievously suffer. And when someone says to them: "Do not be so ignoble on this earth," they reply: "We are only bringing peace!" although it is they who bring disorder while so deceiving themselves."  2: 10-12   Interpretation of Meaning

"We are rid of you and what you bow down before - and between you and us there will be hatred and fighting until you accept Allah and Allah alone." 6:4 Interpretation of Meaning

Narrated Abu Da'ud: The Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "Whoever loves for Allah, hates for Allah, gives for Allah, and withholds for Allah, is correctly striving for the Deen." [Refer to Sheikh ul-Islam ibn Tamiyyah (Rahimullah): Al Furqan bayana Awliya ar Rahman wa awliya ash-Shaitan, ch. 2]


Before my reversion to Islam, it used to surprise - and sadden - me just how many people believed, or dishonourably repeated, malicious rumours, or slanderous gossip, or what some journalist wrote, without bothering to make enquiries for themselves, or without doing the honourable, the civilized thing: which is to contact the person who is the subject of such, rumours, gossip or article, in order to obtain their side of the story. Such dishonourable behaviour was also prevalent among those I regarded as "Comrades" in the struggle against Zionist hegemony, so I am not surprised that individuals on a forum such as you mention are making such accusations or repeating such rumours as have been made against me by Zionists and their lackeys.

The Deen of Islam - given to us by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala - provides honourable guidelines for dealing with such matters, and, yet again, these reveal the ethical, moral, superiority of Deen Al-Islam over each and every way of the West, of the kuffar. Thus, a Muslim in enjoined to abide by the principle of husn udh-dhan and is commanded to refrain from gossip and to be wary of those spreading rumours. Sheikh Muhammad Abdul-Wahaab (Rahimullah) wrote in Kitaab At-Tawheed (Chapter 23)

"It is reported on the authority of Ibn Mas'ood (radiallahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: Shall I tell you what al-adhdhah is? It is an-nameemah." (Narrated by Muslim)..... The benefits derived from this Hadith are that an-nameemah is prohibited - and that it is a major error."

Thus, yet again, I am reminded, Alhamdulillah, of how Islam is a guide - the guide - to honourable, civilized, personal behaviour, in stark contrast to the decadence, the dishonour, of the modern West.




May Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) protect us from all forms of Al-asabiyyah Al-Jahiliyyah, forgive us for our mistakes, and guide us to and keep us on the Right Path.
