In 1740, from the wastelands of Najd, Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab called upon the Muslims of the Arabian Peninsula to "return" to what he proposed was the pure form of Islam - opposed to the purported corruption he claimed had been introduced in the centuries following the lifetime of the Prophet (sal). Under the influence of the sectarian ideas of Ibn Taymiyyah, he espoused a puritanical Islam much resembling the unholy Christian crusaders of the 11th-13th centuries. He was immediately confronted by the Uthmani Khalifah (Ottoman Empire) scholars, who, acting upon the interpretations and opinions of the classical Islamic ulama, denounced his heretical views. Ibn Abdul Wahhab responded by declaring his opponents apostates and polytheists - terms he and his followers often threw around. Consequently, he was labeled a renegade, subject to disciplinary justice, and sought refuge in the town of Diriyya, which at that time was ruled by Muhammad bin Saud - who was also the chief of the al-A'nnza clan of the al-Saud tribe.

The two saw in each other the means of their rise to power. On the one hand, Muhammad bin Saud provided the necessary leadership skills and cold indifference to besiege an entire country and ruthlessly subjugate and/or murder its inhabitants. On the other, Ibn Abdul Wahhab administered his own brand of war-hungry rhetoric, and supplied as its motivation the promise of a reward far greater than any tribal leader could offer his soldiers: Paradise. They formed an alliance which was the beginning of the marriage between what became known as the House of Saud and the founder of the Wahhabi/Neo-Salafi school of 'thought'. In turn, this partnership paved the way for what was later to become the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - with tribal authority vested in Muhammad bin Saud as the political leader, and in Ibn Abdul Wahhab as the spiritual leader. Thus, in 1747, we mark the inauguration of the Wahhabiyya Movement.

Muhammad bin Saud died in 1769, and left his authority to his son, Abdul Aziz bin Muhammad - who then launched their cold-blooded campaign to seize control of the entire peninsula. In 1787, Abdul Aziz arranged a gathering in attempts to seek Islamic legitimacy for his alleged authority - whereupon he was declared the leader of the Muslims. The next year, Abdul Aziz - with the aid of British Forces, who had funded and helped prompt his imperialism - attacked Kuwait (which had links to the Ottoman Empire), and occupied it. Before long, through a bloody campaign of merciless killings and plunder, al-Saud had seized the whole of Eastern Arabia.

By 1811, al-Saud had pillaged and conquered all the way up to Damascus. This impelled the Ottoman governor, Muhammad Ali Pasha, to dispatch his son, Touson Pasha, and his soldiers who defeated Abdul Aziz's army and liberated Madina. Again, in 1816, Ottoman forces fought, under Muhammad Ali Pasha's son, Ibrahim Pasha, who liberated Kuwait, Damascus, and Iraq from Wahhabi hands. In 1818, after their last stronghold had been destroyed in ad-Diriyya, the al-Saud family were forced to flee to Jeddah, under the protection of the British military hordes.

The majority of the Saudi-Wahhabis, however, fled to Riyadh, where they prepared for their next crusade under their new leader, Abdul Aziz bin Abdul Rahman al-Saud (a.k.a. Ibn Saud). Between 1824 and 1891, the remaining followers battled the forces of the Khalifah, until al-Rashid, the Khalifah's Wali, was able to force the remnants of the group into exile in Kuwait. However, in 1902, a small force led by Ibn Saud scaled the walls of Riyadh in the night hours and murdered the Wali, bringing Eastern Arabia into his and British colonial control .

There, Ibn Saud's political emergence began. To demonstrate his resolve, he ordered the heads of his enemies spiked and displayed at the gates of the city. He then proceeded to terrorize his subjects with threats and intimidation, and under his stay of rule, 1200 people were burned to death.

At the end of the 19th century, the region stretching from Egypt, across the Red Sea, and around the Arabian Peninsula was critical for British trade. In 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I, Britain controlled many of the coastal areas of the peninsula, while the interior remained under the control of the Ottoman Turks. Britain cut a deal with two local tribal leaders, Sharif Hussein and Ibn Saud, to lead a revolt against the Ottoman Empire. In turn, they would be given an independent Arabia.

During the War, Ibn Saud's campaigns against the Ottoman Empire led his troops across the Nafus desert, where they took al-Aqaba from the rear, securing the Saudi-Wahhabi/British force's allied capture of Palestine and Damascus. With that the Ottoman Empire drew to a close, which in its final treaty - concluded in the early 1920's - left the Saudi family with a sovereign state over much of the Arabian Peninsula, and left English and French colonialists with the remainder of the Arab world. After the war, both Hussein and Saud remained on the British payroll.

The treaties made by the Saudi-Wahhabi's and their European brethren to gain control over the trusting and peace-loving Arab-Muslim nations, were, of course, lies and deceit. In fact, they were never meant to be kept. Under the guise of cooperation and mutual interest, the Saudi's begat the brutal massacre of their lives and culture - all too reminiscent of their Shayateen puppet masters who employed the same deceitful tactics in their conquest of the Indian peoples of the Amerikkkas.

Despite the displeasure of the newly colonized people, on January 8, 1926, Ibn Saud declared himself Sultan of Najd and Hijaz. The new king (a title in itself considered blasphemous in Islam, which recognizes that Majesty is Allah's alone) became adept at courting the paternalism of his British comrades, which ensured his power in the kingdom. While preserving British interests, he was simultaneously able to maintain his own authority over much of the Peninsula. In 1932, he renamed his family enterprise, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - with Wahhabi 'Islam' as the official religious and political ideology.

The fundamentals of Wahhabi/Salafi doctrine are quite simple: Tawhid, direct submission to Qur'an (without interpretation or intermediary), and the adherence to the sunnah of the Rasulullah (sal). That is to say, this is what they claim.

The Wahhabi/Salafi doctrine of 'Tawhid' is taken directly from the anthropomorphic dreams of Ibn Taymiyyah, who, invoking Qur'anic ayat, ascribed the qualities of possessing hands, ears, eyes, and location to Allah Subhana wa ta'ala:

"...He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer." - al-Qur'an, Sura 42:11

"To one whom I have created with Both My Hands." - al-Qur'an, Sura 38:75

"The Hand of Allah is over their hands." - al-Qur'an, Sura 48:10

Wahhabi disbelief declares that Allah is confined to time and place, and that the alamin (cosmos) is an entity distinct from the "Supreme Being," who lives on his throne in the sky.

"Those who object claim that Allah has no limit, no boundary, and no end... these are statements that we have never heard anyone say before him... Allah certainly has a limit... and so has His place, for He is on His Throne above the heavens, and these are two limits." - Ibn Taymiyyah

"Who told you that the top of the mountain is not closer to Allah than its bottom?... The top of the minaret is closer to Allah than its bottom." - Ibn Taymiyyah

According to this doctrine, the tall man is closer to Allah than the short man, and those in airplanes are even closer to the Throne of Allah. However, contrary to the lies of these mushrikun, the Muslims are ordered to:

"Prostrate and draw near." - al-Qur'an, Sura 96:19

It is these tyrants that are guilty of shirk when they ascribe partners to Allah, claiming there is not ONE, but that there is a human-like 'god' up in the sky, AND a material universe which is distinct from its Creator - 'god' and creation: TWO. Subhan'Allah! Allah declares:

"Allah! There is no god, but only Hu, the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Hu nor sleep. Hu's are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there to intercede in Hu's presence except as Hu permitteth? Hu knoweth what (appeareth to Hu's creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of Hu's knowledge except as Hu willeth. Hu's Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and Hu feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for Hu is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory)." - al-Qur'an, Sura 2:255

The thinking believer - who approaches his din in order to submit to Truth, rather than dictate it - takes heed from Allah's warning when Hu says:

"Hu it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive, they are the basis of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity, they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead, and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation, but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind except those having understanding." - al-Qur'an, Sura 3:7

Thus, we seek neither to abrogate certain ayat for others, nor to ascribe literality to that which is allegorical. Instead, as in all things, we seek al-Siratul Mustaqim: in this case, the adherence to the decisive portions of the Qur'an, and the contemplation upon that which is allegory. 'Heresy' to the Wahhabiyya.

The Qur'an denounces their anthropomorphism where Allah says:

"We are nearer to him than his jugular vein." - al-Qur'an, Sura 50:16

"To Allah belongs the East and the West: wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah; Allah is All -Embracing, All-Knowing." - al-Qur'an, Sura 2:115

Furthermore, Allah spoke through Muhammad (sal) and said:

"My earth and My heaven contain Me not, but the heart of My faithful servant contains Me."

And Truth is ever-distinct from falsehood...

In true Islam, Qur'anic tafsir (interpretation) - while the personal responsibility of every Muslim - has been left to the revered among the ulama who are versed in the necessary Islamic sciences - at least in the realm of legislation and societal norms (that is to say, while every Muslim must establish a firm knowledge of Qur'anic sayings and injunctions, its lawful application within a religious community must be presided over by the people of reason - lest the people fall into error) . However, the Wahhabi's took it upon themselves to interpret al-Qur'an, without being versed in the proper sciences, and then forced their conclusions upon their conquered subjects. Undoubtedly, as their actions have borne witness, their views were never based on more than British orders plugged into Qur'anic ayat to provide Islamic justification to those that would criticize them - and subsequently label their detractors "apostates" and "polytheists." Such legal maneuverings reek of the wretched Pauline "Christians" who have altered the words and meanings in al-Injil (the Gospel) to denounce the upheavals of the righteous and impart legitimacy to their despotic empire.

"Do you then hope that they would believe in you, and a party from among them indeed used to hear the Word of Allah, then altered it after they had understood it, and they know (this)." - al-Qur'an, Sura 2:75

"Whoever then alters it after he has heard it, the sin of it then is only upon those who alter it; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing." - al-Qur'an, Sura 2:181

Their twisting of Allah's Words aside, Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab himself displayed a complete lack of genuine understanding, and an apparent ignorance to the theological and historical truths of Islam.

"The first of the prophets was Nuh -- 'Alayhi al salam -- whom Allah had sent to his people when they exaggerated their esteem for the saints, Wadd, Suwa', Yaghuth, Ya'uq and Nasr, and raised them into gods." - Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab

As every Muslim (and even most non-Muslims) is aware, the first human being and Prophet is, of course, Adam (as) - the father of mankind. His intention in distorting the truth, however, seems not to be a matter of pure ignorance (for certainly one would have a difficult time finding a 6 year old child who does not know that Adam (as) was the first of the prophets); but instead, this lie seems geared to bring attention to the latter part of the statement, wherein he points out the worship of the saints prevalent in the time of Nuh (as) - and ultimately, to imply that the entire foundation of the revelation of Allah to all the 124,000 prophets is the denunciation of all saintly figures and holy men. And while it is true that Allah's prophets have since the beginning of time sought to destroy polytheism, he forgets himself in the fact that the prophets not only fought against the spiritual wickedness of shirk, but also against the tyrants who set themselves up as kings and high priests, and ultimately opened the doors to further aberration.

"It was to a religious people who worshipped regularly, performed the pilgrimage, gave in charity and remembered Allah constantly that He sent His Prophet Muhammad. Their mistake was one of assigning to some creatures an intermediary role between them and Allah in the hope of realizing closeness to Allah and His pleasure through their intercession." - Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab

Perhaps if this man had studied history at all, his reign of terror could have been prevented. For this seems to be the basis of all his misunderstanding: that Muhammad (sal) and all the prophets were sent solely for the purpose of defaming the saints and oppressing their followers. Perhaps his murderous crusades against Shi'a and Sufi Muslims - who he claimed worshipped 'Ali (as) and/or their respective shaykh - is actually justified in his syphilitic mind as being the true sunnah of Muhammad (sal) and the other prophets. For it seems that his belief is that those to whom the prophets were sent, and against whom they waged jihad in the cause of Allah, were devout and upright people; and that their fundamental sin - to merit death at the hands of the prophets - was their following of the teachings and interpretations of the saints and scholars of their respective age. Thus, his oppression and murder are but the call of Allah. (May Allah forever curse him.)

However, any discerning intellect can plainly see the malicious intent present in the twisted Wahhabi doctrine. A man so versed in Qur'an and the ahadith could not have possibly been so ignorant of historical and theological fact. No. His falsehoods were direct forgeries, aimed at steering men away from the Straight Path, and to bestow legality upon his unholy teachings and campaigns. He did not order the murder of Shi'a and Sufi Muslims because they purportedly "worshipped" other than Allah (which they did not), but because they were the primary forces resisting his rise to power, and were the two groups he knew would remain upon right guidance, and would not succumb to his perverted ideas. History bears this out in that it has been the Shi'ati who have continually staged rebellions against the corrupt Wahhabi empire, and have - both in times of peace and war - been ruthlessly suppressed by the Saudi-Wahhabi government.

"And, for what your tongues describe, do not utter the lie, (saying) This is lawful and this is unlawful, in order to forge a lie against Allah; surely those who forge the lie against Allah shall not prosper." - al-Qur'an, Sura 16:116

"Say: Tell me what Allah has sent down for you of sustenance, then you make (a part) of it unlawful and (a part) lawful. Say: Has Allah commanded you, or do you forge a lie against Allah?" - al-Qur'an, Sura 10:59

"Say: Those who forge a lie against Allah shall not be successful." - al-Qur'an, Sura 10:69

From the European imperialists who massacred millions of innocents in the name of the Christian Bible, to the Zionist oppressors who to this very day terrorize the righteous in the name of the Tawrat (Torah), the Wahhabi's have joined the long list of hypocrites who have masqueraded in the guise of piety and religious authority, yet have in every way imaginable transgressed the Divine Law of the very Books they use as their shield. While selectively enforcing those aspects of Islamic Shari'ah that lend themselves to the maintenance of their power, the Wahhabiyya virtually ignore every Qur'anic ayah, every sahih hadith (and of both there are many), that speaks of justice and equity, of freedom and liberty; and, most ominously, they have ignored the prophetic warnings of the assured demise of all tyrannical oppressors - of which they are among the worst.

"And who does greater evil than he who is reminded of the signs of His Lord, then turns away from them? We shall take vengeance upon the criminals." - al-Qur'an, Sura 32:22

"The Rasulullah (sal) said, 'Ya Allah! bless us in our Syria; Ya Allah! Bless us in our Yemen.' Those present said, 'And in our Najd, O Messenger of Allah!' But the Prophet (sal) said, 'Ya Allah! bless us in our Syria; Ya Allah! bless us in our Yemen.' Those present said, 'And in our Najd, O Messenger of Allah!' Whereupon the Prophet (sal) said, 'Earthquakes and fitnah are there, and there shall arise the Horn of Shaytan.'" - [Sahih al-Bukhari]

Of worthy note is the fact the Rasulullah (sal) specified the name of Shaytan upon his rise: "as-Shaykh an-Najdi" (the Shaykh of Najd) - the EXACT SAME title that Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab conferred upon himself.

The land of Najd, which would for two centuries be the crucible of Wahhabi doctrine, is the foretold site of manifestation for the "Devil's Horn" (as mentioned above). Despite the claims of pro-Najdi apologists that the Prophet's (sal) indication was made only generally to the "East" - and that this was in reference to Iraq - the geographical facts and evident truths reveal that no other location but Najd could have been stipulated. For not only is Najd the land from which arose the dajjal founder of Wahhabism, but it was also the native soil of many of the prominent Kharijite leaders - wherefrom the Wahhabis have drawn theological and tactical inspiration - who rebelled against the khalifate of Hazrat 'Ali (as), and who's swords are stained with the blood of our Ummah.

The Kharijite, Dhu'l Khuwaysira was one of a long list of Kharijite dajjals who declared war on 'Ali (as) and the Muslims. Before a battle they spoke:

"'Ibn Abi Talib! I am only fighting you for the sake of Allah and the Afterlife!' To which Imam Ali (as) replies: 'No, you are like those of whom Allah says, 'Shall I inform you who are the ones whose works are most in loss? It is they whose efforts are astray in the life of this world, but who think that they are doing good!''"

Among the scores of atrocities perpetrated by the Khairijites, they sacked Madina, enslaved and raped Muslim women, and took countless Muslim lives. And like their Wahhabi posterity, all was done under the banner of Din ul-Islam.

"Whoever takes up arms against us, is not from us." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

The most well-known woman among the Kharijites was Qutam bint 'Alqama, a member of the Tamimite tribe. She is remembered as the one who told her bridegroom, Ibn Muljam, that "I will only accept you as my husband at a dowry which I myself must name, which is three thousands dirhams, a male and a female slave, and the murder of Ali!" He asked, "You shall have all that, but how may I accomplish it?" and she replied, "Take him by surprise. If you escape, you will have rescued the people from evil, and will live with your wife; while if you die in the attempt, you will go on to the Garden and a delight that shall never end!" Ibn Muljam was executed after he stabbed 'Ali (as) to death outside the mosque in Kufa.

(About the Kharijites) "Certainly you are the most evil of all persons and are those whom Satan has put on his lines and thrown out into his wayless land." - Hazrat 'Ali (as)

Such are the policies carried out to this day by the Neo-Kharijite, Wahhabi Shayateen against those who threaten their wealth in this world, and the dominion of their Dajjal System. May Allah eternally curse them for their wicked deeds!

Among the most tragic consequences of this Wahhabi conquest of power is the capture of our holy shrines in Madina and Mecca - the site of the annual Hajj. Therein, Muslims from across the globe are subject to the maltreatment of the Wahhabiyya cult - which ranges from strikes with a stick for lesser crimes such as supplicating for peace and blessings upon the Prophet (sal), to public execution for such crimes as reading Shi'a or Sufi books and the like.

Shi'a, Sufi, and Sunni alike face brutal persecution for adherence to age-old practices the Wahhabi's deem as innovations to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (sal). The practice of visiting and making du'a at the tombs of Sufi mystics is expressly forbidden by the Wahhabiyya, and Sufis worldwide have faced bitter trials at Wahhabi hands in their quest for truth and gnosis of Allah. Shi'a are beaten and often killed for the observance of 1400 year-old traditions passed on and preserved through the family of the Prophet (sal) - such as supplicating to Allah for peace upon the Ahlul Bayt and praying to Allah near the tombs of the beloved martyrs. Some have actually been murdered while calling men to the worship of Allah (performing the adhan) in the traditional Shi'a manner.

"Abusing a Muslim is Fusuq (evil doing) and killing him is Kufr (disbelief)." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

"I visited al-Baqee Cemetery once, and while I was calling for mercy upon the souls of Ahlul Bayt, I noticed an old man standing near me crying, and because of that I realized he was a Shi'i. He positioned himself towards the Kabba and started to pray, and suddenly a soldier rushed towards him, as if he had been monitoring his moves, and kicked him while he was in a position of prostration. The man fell on his back unconscious, then the soldier started beating him and cursing him. I felt so sorry for the old man and thought he might have been killed and so I shouted at the soldier, "You must not do that! Why did you beat him while he was praying?" He rebuked me and said, "You be quiet and do not interfere, or else I will do to you what I have just done to him!" I realized that the soldier was full of aggression, so I avoided him, but I felt angry at myself for not being able to help those who are unjustly treated, and felt angry at the Saudis who treat the people as they like without any check or accountability for their actions. There were some visitors who witnessed the attack, but all that they could do was to say, "There is no power or might but in Allah." Others said, "He deserves what he got because he was praying by the graves." I could not control myself, so I said to that particular person, "Who told you that we must not pray by the graves ? He answered, ' The Messenger of Allah (saw) prevented us from doing so." I replied angrily. You are lying about the Messenger of Allah." I became aware of the dangerous situation and feared that some of the visitors might call the soldier to attack me, so I said gently, if the Messenger of Allah prevented us from praying by the graves, why should millions of pilgrims and visitors disobey him and commit a sin by praying by the graves of the Prophet (saw), Abu Bakr and Umar in the Holy Mosque of the Prophet and in many other mosques around the Islamic world. Even if praying by the graves is a sin, should it be prevented with such harshness? Or should we prevent it by gentle action. Allow me to tell you the story of the man who urinated in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah and in his presence, and some of his Companions drew their swords to kill him, but he stopped them and said: Let him go and do not harm him, and pour some water on the place where he urinated. We are sent to make things easy and not difficult. We are sent to spread the good words and not to make people keep away from us.

The Companions obeyed his orders, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) asked that man to come and sit next to him and spoke to him nicely. He explained to him that the place was the House of Allah and should not be dirtied, and the man seemed to have understood the point, for he later was seen in the mosque wearing his best and cleanest clothes. Allah - the Great - was right when He said to His Messenger (saw):

'If you had been rough and hard-hearted with them, they would certainly have dispersed from around you' (Holy Qur'an 3:159)" - Sayed Mohamad Tijani Smaoui, "Then I Was Guided"

Like their British masters, the Saudi-Wahhabi's have erected a system which thrives upon the exploitation of the masses, while serving the material interests of not only their own ruling elite, but that of their European allies. More than 1/3 of the Saudi population is comprised of foreign workers who are treated with contempt and brutality. In coastal towns such as Aden, Mocha, and Mecca - where many of these migrant workers labor for slave wages - exports of coffee, cotton, and incense form the jewel of British trade profits. And in every enterprise of a land so rich in "natural resources," Britain's (and now the Unites States') pockets are the benefactors. In truth, the Wahhabi-Saudi state is no more than a front for the British/Amerikkkan colonials, who have nothing but gain in the maintenance of the oppressive regime. The Saudi state is a puppet on the hand of Dajjal, which, playing the Islamic state, either pacifies or eliminates the colonized people (the former with the promise of Paradise and spiritual fulfillment, and the latter with mass killings and ruthless subjugation).

The worldwide economic slump of 1933 affected Ibn Saud's major source of income: the taxation of the Hajj. To make up, Saud granted an oil concession to an American oil company, Standard Oil of California (SOCAL). SOCAL later merged with Esso, and the prominent Mobil and Texaco corporations, to form ARAMCO (Arabian American Oil Company). ARAMCO and the US government occupied the turf and replaced Britain as the major benefactor of the Saudi/Wahhabi empire. ARAMCO later paid historians to falsify evidence of Ibn Saud's relation to the Prophet Muhammad (sal) - a crime so pathetic, it is unimaginable to all with even the smallest spark of faith.

Saudi Arabia has been the willing tool of its Western masters - Britain and then the United States. In 1968, one year after the Arab-Israeli war that inflamed Arab nationalism, many countries were calling for the nationalization of the oil companies. Saudi Arabia opposed, and instead promoted "participation." In the 70's, oil prices were kept low, to supply the States with cheap oil - despite a loss of $32 billion in 1979. In 1973, the Israeli war forced Saudi Arabia into an oil embargo against the West - but again, they were the first to lower the embargo.

Every day, the blood, sweat, and tears of the Ummah soak into the desert sand, petitioning Allah for sustenance. And every day, Allah hears the prayers of the downtrodden, and causes the earth to flow with abundant resources - enough to feed and clothe every Muslim man, woman, and child. Yet every day, profits are funneled to fatten the western kuffar, or to provide wine, brandy, gold, and women to the munafiqun who call themselves the just leaders of the holy city of Mecca - the home of the House of Allah - while only the crumbs from their table ever reach the poor and marginalized masses.

In sync with their Eurocentric mentors, the Wahhabi legacy is one of corruption, brutality, and murder. In only a short time in power (around 30 years), Ibn Saud ordered the death of 1.4 million people - virtually all Muslims. This is not to mention the millions of lives lost in their proxy wars of the Arabian Peninsula and around the world - such as the United States' Contra forces in South America, aiding US-allied governments in annihilating Nicaraguan freedom fighters.

"Abusing a Muslim is Fusuq (evil doing) and killing him is Kufr (disbelief)." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

In honor of his fine work on their behalf, Britain awarded him with the title of "sir," and made him a "Knight Commander of the Indian Empire." In 1979, an uprising led by Shi'a Muslims seized control of the Grand Mosque in Mecca for two weeks. The resistance was viciously suppressed by French troops, given special dispensation to enter the city. The French flooded the masjid and then applied electricity to the water, killing 227 people.

"None of you should point out towards his Muslim brother with a weapon, for he does not know, Satan may tempt him to hit him and thus he would fall into a pit of fire (Hell)" - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

In the weeks following, 63 Shi'a ulama were publicly beheaded.

"Do not revert to disbelief after me by striking (cutting) the necks of one another." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

In 1988, 400 Iranians were slaughtered by Saudi police in demonstrations protesting the crimes of the regime.

"Whoever takes up arms against us, is not from us." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

The Mominpura Cemetery massacres of 25 Shi'a Muslims in 1988 reflects the impunity with which the Wahhabi terrorists have maneuvered in the Islamic world at large. Lashkar-e Jhangvi, an off-shoot of the Wahhabi-influenced Sepah-e Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), was responsible for the massacre, in which over 50 people were also injured - most of them women and children who had gathered for the recital of the Holy Qur'an.

The spread of violent Wahhabi propaganda in Pakistan prompted over 200 deaths in 1997 alone. In response to the growth of Shi'a resistance to Sunni oppression - driven by the Iranian Revolution - Saudi Arabia joined forces with the United States to contain its worldwide influence on the Muslim world (lest their power come under attack). In Pakistan, Wahhabi intolerance has been sponsored by the Saudis and their sidekicks, the Kuwaitis, to bankroll fringe groups for their wicked designs. Money was never a problem. Cash-starved madrassahs became recipients of Saudi largesse - where Wahhabi anti-Shi'ism clawed its way into the fabric of Pakistani society, in which Shi'as and Sunnis had coexisted for decades.

Throughout the Islamic world, Wahhabi-Saudi enforcers do their Western sultan's bidding, in the form of hired assassins and mercenaries - directed against potential threats to the status quo. And the sickness continues to insidiously make its way into Islamic nations and communities, where it manifests in high and low places - all the better to world powers that be, who through a divide and conquer policy continue to thrive off the civil discord and internal strife of potentially threatening peoples.

"He who honors women is honorable, and he who insults them is lowly and mean." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

"Treat your women well, and be kind to them." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

The Saudi-Wahhabi funded and educated Taliban entered Afghanistan with the declaration of their commitment to barbarism and rape - primarily directed against women - with the burning of 150 children and elders, and the proclamation that they would rape the Tagik women wherever they found them. Little has changed.

As of 1996, the Taliban has barred female Muslims from the public schools, both as teachers and students (where 70% of the teachers had previously been women). They are denied any formal education aside from the so-called 'Islamic' fundamentals, which are, in reality, the Taliban's perverted Wahhabi falsehoods used as a tool of indoctrination. The Prophet (sal) was quite explicit in his exhortations for ALL believers to acquire knowledge:

"To acquire knowledge is the duty of every Muslim man and woman."

"How praiseworthy are the women of Ansar that their modesty does not prevent them from attempts at learning and the acquisition of knowledge."

"The good of this world and the world to come is with knowledge."

"The virtue of knowledge is more beloved with Allah than the virtue of worship."

The Imams of the Ahlul Bayt (as) have spoke of the obligatory nature of knowledge as well:

"The one who seeks for knowledge is like a warrior in the cause of religion for the way of Allah." - Imam 'Ali (as)

"Try to learn knowledge because learning it is a good action and study is itself a worship." - Imam Baqir (as)

According to the Holy Prophet (sal) and Imams (as), knowledge is not only obligatory upon all Muslims - men AND women - but is more beloved to Allah than worship, and equal to jihad. Such being the case, one must consider:

"Have you seen him who forbids a servant who worships (prays)? Have you considered if he were on the right way, or enjoined guarding (against evil)? Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back? Does he not know that Allah does see? Nay! if he desists not, We would certainly smite his forehead; a lying, sinful forehead. Then let him summon his council, We too would summon the braves of the army. Nay! obey him not, and make obeisance and draw nigh (to Allah). - al-Qur'an, Sura 96:9-19

"Someone who possesses knowledge on a subject but conceals it when he is asked will be bridled with reins of fire." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

And, by Allah, such is the fate of these kaffirun - who knowingly hold back Allah's servants from the Path!

Where women had once held high-paying jobs as skilled workers, they are now forbidden from doing paid work. One and a half million Afghans were killed during the civil war, leaving widows and orphans to fend for themselves. Houses are subsequently filled with famine, disease runs rampant, and the mothers and daughters often resort to prostitution. Such a law is not from Allah, but from the rebellious slaves of shaytan:

"And do not covet that by which Allah has made some of you excel others; men shall have the benefit of what they earn and women shall have the benefit of what they earn; and ask Allah of Hu's grace; surely Allah knows all things." - al-Qur'an, Sura 4:32

"The conditions laid down by Allah take precedence over the conditions set by man." - Imam 'Ali (as)

Prior to the counter-revolution, health care was free. Now, when these women and children fall ill, treatment is near impossible. The vast majority of doctors fled the country, leaving the remaining doctors the ability to charge exorbitant amounts of money for their coveted services. Countless women and children have died due to this sinful neglect.

Today, in a society where it was once believed that "Paradise is at the feet of the mother" (Prophet Muhammad (sal)), women suffer and die from abuse and brutal killings.

"However much the Faith of a man increases, his regard for women increases." - Imam Musa Kazim (as)

The Burqa is essentially a large piece of cloth draped over the head and descending to the toes with a mesh 'window' through which to see and breathe. It is forbidden for a woman to leave her home without this garment on, where transgression equals whipping, beating, and sometimes death. If her ankle is seen, she is whipped. One woman was beaten to death after relenting to her crying infant and breastfeeding near a road.

"Do not beat the female servants of Allah." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

"Feed them as you feed yourselves, clothe them as you clothe yourselves, and do not beat or scold them.." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

Such a dress code is nowhere to be found in the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sal).

"And say to the believing women that they cast down their looks and guard their private parts and do not display their charms (zinat) except what appears thereof, and let them draw their head-coverings over their bosoms, and not display their ornaments except to their husbands..." - al-Qur'an, Sura 24:31

Zinat means both natural and artificial beauty. This ayah is revealed with both meanings in mind. Women are to cover their ornaments of beauty and distinction, such as their hair, figure, earrings, etc.

In pre-Islamic Arabia, women (and men) wore head coverings to escape the desert heat. Therefore, a command to wear the hijab is not present in this ayah, as such a directive would be redundant. What is explicit in this ayah, however, is that these head coverings are now to be drawn over the bosom - which is an attack on the immodesty of the time, where women were often seen publicly bare-breasted. When this context is considered, the intelligent find a general exhortation to MODESTY, rather than a harsh and oppressive code of dress. NOWHERE in the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah do we find any law which justifies the dogmatic excesses of the Wahhabi regimes. NOWHERE but in the pre-Islamic, Jahliyya days of the kafirun were such atrocities so prevalent - our sisters countenance enshrouded, their GOD-GIVEN worth and dignity so thoroughly deprived.

Remember once more the words of Imam 'Ali (as):

"The conditions laid down by Allah take precedence over the conditions set by man."

Furthermore, this act of bida (innovation) is not without consequence. The excessive covering prevents the skin from absorbing the vital replenishing elements derived from sun exposure. Women subsequently suffer from numerous pains and illnesses, including chronic musculoskeletal pain (49%), gynecological disorders (23%), gastrointestinal pain (32%), chronic headaches (19%), and severe depression (97%) - ALL symptoms directly associated with vitamin D deficiency (a vitamin primarily acquired through EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT).

Certainly, Allah created all things in perfect balance. Our moral and spiritual pursuits are not in the least opposed to our physical and mental health, but on the contrary, both are simultaneously complementary.

"Hu created the heavens and the earth with the truth, highly exalted be Hu above what they associate (with Hu)." - al-Qur'an, Sura 16:3

"Most surely in the variation of the night and the day, and what Allah has created in the heavens and the earth, there are signs for a people who guard (against evil)." - al-Qur'an, Sura 10:6)

Cursed are they who deny the truth of Allah's creation, and who work to prevent the signs of Allah's rahmat (grace) from descending upon the believing women! Allah can do whatever Hu Wills, and by Allah, I swear that their destruction is at hand.

"The whole world is a place of useful things and the best thing of this world is a virtuous woman." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

"The most perfect Muslim in the matter of faith is one who has an excellent behavior; and the best among you are those who behave the best towards your wives." - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

"By the Night as it conceals the light.
By the day as it appears in glory.
By the creation of male and female.
Verily, the ends you strive for are diverse.
So he who gives in charity and fears Allah,
And in all sincerity testifies to the Best -
We will indeed make smooth for him the Path to Bliss.
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
And gives a lie to the Best -
We will indeed make smooth for him the Path to Misery.
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit)."
- al-Quran, Sura 92:1-11

All praise is due to Allah, who bestows generously upon all of creation - not for the purpose of favoring some over others, but to manifest to mankind the reality of who and what they are. Those to whom Allah has bestowed wealth more abundantly than others are tested in that they must align themselves with their higher nature, and reflect the moral character incumbent upon the companions of Paradise. One who gives of his sustenance freely to the poor and needy, succeeds in this task, and gains the favor of Almighty Allah - whereas the miser who hordes his wealth or spends of it in order to be seen in the eyes of men, incurs the displeasure of Allah, and will face Hu's Wrath in this world and/or the next.

"And let not those of you who possess grace and abundance swear against giving to the near of kin and the poor and those who have fled in Allah's way, and they should pardon and turn away. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." - al-Qur'an, Sura 24:22

The Wahhabi-Saudi empire is among the most wealthy nations of the world, due to its vast quantities of oil and various other resources. An upwards of $100 billion is the accustomed annual income of the Saudi government. Yet billions of dollars are squandered in useless military expenditures, worthless show projects, and the support of regional conflicts, such as Yemen's recent civil war - while the people's fundamental needs are neglected. $65 billion was given in support of Operation Desert Storm, preceded by the financing of Saddam Hussein's war with Iran - efforts that resulted in the murder of uncounted innocent lives.

"On the Day of the Resurrection a caller will announce: 'Where are the oppressors and their assistants and those who prepared an inkwell for them or fastened a bag for them or supplied the ink of a pen (for them)? Then, gather these (people) with them!'" - Prophet Muhammad (sal)

Despite their continuance in siding with oppressive western regimes over freedom-fighting Islamic nations, the Saudi-Wahhabi munafiqun persevere in their insistence that they are guilty of nothing but manifesting the purest form of Islamic discipline. Though, as we mentioned before, their adherence to Islamic principles is limited to those that perpetuate their control and affluence; to the point of not only opposing, but violently suppressing, the other aspects that they find bothersome or unnecessary. For Allah Most High has said:

"And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, illtreated and oppressed among men, women, and children; whose cry is: 'Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help.'

"Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (evil). So fight against the friends of Shaytan; ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaytan." - al-Qur'an, Sura 4:75-76

It is not surprising that the Wahhabi's have failed to integrate these ayat into their national policies, as they have, for example, the prescribed punishment for theft (which is primarily enforced among the lower classes, whose thievery is directed at the riches of the wealthy). Of course, it is absurd to think that a morally bankrupt administration such as that of the Wahhabiyya would order its own demise - even if it meant the betrayal of its own purported foundations; as it is unthinkable that the United States would forfeit their stolen land, grant reparations to its Indian and African victims, and move back to Europe. And why?

"They have made Satan the master of their affairs, and he has taken them as partners. He has laid eggs and hatched them in their bosoms. He creeps and crawls in their laps. He sees through their eyes, and speaks with their tongues. In this way he has led them to sinfulness and adorned for them foul things like the action of one whom Satan has made partner in his domain and speaks untruth through his tongue." - Hazrat 'Ali (as)

Cleansing The Temple

Within the sacred precincts of the holy house of Abraham, oppressors in Islamic garb have erected their throne of opulence, atop the sky-scrapers and McDonalds restaurants stationed outside the Kabbah; the Jahliyya days forged anew. Their rise to power wrought with Muslim blood and suffering, and their self-proclaimed khalifah, a mockery of the liberative Islam of Muhammad (sal) and the Prophets.

More than any other 'Islamic' school of thought, the Wahhabi/Salafi's have invented lie upon lie against Allah and Hu's Messenger, and have transgressed beyond all limits. For it is their avaricious rule that has been the bane of the Islamic world and has thoroughly raped and plundered the fabric of our Ummah. It is they who are consumed by the works of their Taskmaster and have forsaken the Din of truth and justice for the life and illusions of this world - seeking material gain at the price of their souls.

Allah is our Lord and Cherisher, and it is only Allah who can liberate our Ummah from the wickedness of the hypocrites. So as we work and strive for the emancipation of our people and the formation of the pure Islamic world (wherein the life and liberty of all creation is nurtured and maintained), let us be vigilant. As we STRUGGLE and await the Rise of the Awaited Savior, we must make certain to do our part in counteracting the rape and pillage of our din of which the Wahhabiyya cult is most guilty. In every community, within every masjid, we must enjoin what is good and forbid that which is evil - to strengthen our Ummah's resistance to the infectious Wahhabi disease. For we are being eroded from the inside. From the very heart our Ummah, the sacred shrine toward which we turn in supplication and adoration - the Holy Kabba - the sickness is attacking. It is only a strong resistance - fortified with superior knowledge and pure iman - that will be successful in taking back our din from the Devil.

So as their Babylon falls, let us come together - whether Sunni, Shi'a, Sufi, or any other denomination - to reconstruct the once-vibrant community of Islam. To establish once more the way of justice and equality that is the legacy of our Noble Messenger (sal). And let us in doing so be unhindered by the sectarian baggage that has for so long torn our people apart; and turn instead toward the ways of tolerance and patience with our fellow believers, as was the sunnah of our beloved Rasulullah (sal).

May Allah hasten their destruction through the Imam's (as) Rise. And May we all witness Nazir (sufyani's) foretold slapping as well

Ameen.
