IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, BOUNDLESSLY GRACIOUS, THE MOST
MERCIFUL

PREAMBLE:
All praise and thanks belongs to Allah--The First, The Last, The
Outwardly Manifest, The Inwardly Hidden (Al-Awwal, Al-Akhir, Al-Zahir,
Al-Batin)--and He has knowledge of all things! The Ever-Living, the One
Who sustains and protects all that exists (Al-Hayyul Qayyum); The
Arranger and Designer of the Universe (Al-Mudabir al-Alam); The
Almighty, The Most High (Al-Aliyyu Al-Azim), Who begets not, nor was
He begotten, and there is none coequal or comparable to Him!
Glorified and Exalted is He from all they (falsely) attribute to Him--The
Absolutely Unique and Self-Sufficient Master (Al-Fard As-Samad)-- there
is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Seeing, the All-Hearing. He
cannot be questioned as to what He does, while they will be
questioned!1

By His Power, Knowledge, Wisdom and Divine Will, Allah has created
man and caused him to be His successor and representative (Khalifa),
in the Universe which He has originated. He has taught man that
which he did not know--as a lasting and perpetual instruction--as He
says in Surah Ta-Ha: “And say: ‘My Lord! Increase me in

1 Allah says in Surah Al-Anbiya, “He cannot be questioned as to what He does,

while they will be
questioned.” (21:23)
knowledge.’”(20:114). No one can encompass anything of His
Knowledge except that which He wills, and above every possessor of
knowledge is The All-Knowing! He taught Adam (AS) all the Names (of
everything)…and what will make you to know what that is?

We praise and thank Him--The Ancient of Days, The Ever-Lasting

(Al-Qadim Al-Baqi)--that we see the truth as truth and are enabled to
follow, pursue and comply with it; and that we recognize falsehood as
falsehood and are enabled to avoid, shun and keep away from it. We
ask of Him (Alone)--Who is every day engaged in some affair or
business in the heavens and the earth2--and these are matters which
are already decreed, not ‘new’ affairs, as He says: “And Allah
created you and that which you do.”(37:96) 3

I bear witness and testify that there is no god but Allah--Who is

Alone and without partner--and He is the Lord of Sirius 4. I also bear

2 Allah says in Surah Ar-Rahman, “Whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth
begs of Him (its needs).
Every day He is (engaged) in some affair (such as giving honor or
disgrace to some; life or death to
some, etc). Then which of the blessings and favors of your Lord will you
both (jinn andmen) deny?”
(55-29-30).

3 Allah says in Surah Al-Qasas, “And your Lord creates whatsoever He wills
and chooses. No choice
have they (in any matter). Glorified and Exalted is Allah above all that
they associate (as partners
with Him).” (28:68); and in Surah An-Nur, “Allah has created every moving
(living) creature from
water. Of them there are some that creep on their bellies, and some that
walk on two legs, and some
that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Verily, Allah is Able to do
all things.”(24:45)

4 A very ancient constellation, Canis Major is the larger of the “two hunting dogs
used by Orion”. Within
this constellation can be found the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius or the so-
called “dog star”. It derives
its current name from the Greek word seirios which means “scorcher”. It was/is
thought that during the
witness and testify that Muhammad (SAWS) is His Servant and
Messenger--he who made a stop and visitation after his ascension.5
Then peace and blessings be upon him--the most perfect, complete,
dignified and knowledgeable human being (SAWS). Allah says in Surah
Al-Isra’, “And indeed We have honored the Children of Adam,
and We have carried them on land and sea, and have provided
them with at-Tayyibat (pure & good things), and have
preferred them to many of those whom We have created with a
marked preferment.”(17:70).

THE 3 STAGES OF THE DEEN OF ISLAM:

Indeed, the most clear definition (of the Deen of Islam) has come
to mankind in the well-known “Hadith of Jibril” which has been reported

hot months of summer when this star is above the horizon during the day time its
heat was added to that
of the sun. This is the origin of the term “the dog days of summer”. Canis Major
can easily be found by
following a path leading east from the belt stars of Orion. Allah says in Surah An-
Najm, “And it is He
Who gives much or a little (of wealth and contentment, etc). And He
(Allah) is the Lord of Sirius
(the star which the pagan Arabs used to worship).” (53:48-49). This is one
of the only stars
mentioned by name in the Holy Qur’an (and the Bible). For more information on
this constellation, see
the important books “The Pale Fox” by M. Griaule and G. Dieterlen (1986) and “The
Sirius Mystery” By
Robert Temple (1979).

5 Allah says in Surah Al-Isra’, “Glorified and Exalted is He Who took His
servant for a journey by night
from Masjid al-Haram (in Makkah) to Masjid al-Aqsa (in Jerusalem)--the
neighborhood whereof We
have blessed--in order that We might show him of Our Signs. Verily, He is
the All-Hearing, the All-
Seeing.” (17:1); and in Surah An-Najm, “Will you then dispute with him
about what he saw (during
the Mi’raj to the seven heavens)?”(53:12). This Ascent and Night Journey of
the Prophet (SAWS)
occurred with both his spirit and body.
by Imam Muslim on the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab
(RA), who said: “As we were sitting one day before the Messenger of
Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man suddenly appeared.
His hair was dark black and he wore pure white clothes--and there
were no signs of travel on him, and none of us recognized him. He
came and sat down in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be
upon him), placing his knees against his, and his hands on his thighs.
He said, “O Muhammad! Tell me about Islam.” The Messenger of
Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “Islam is to bear
witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah; and to establish the Salat; pay the Zakat; fast the
month of Ramadan; and to perform the Hajj to the House (Ka’ba) if you
are able.” The man said, “You have spoken the truth,” and we were
surprised that he asked the question and then confirmed the answer.

Then he asked, “Tell me about Faith (Iman).” The Prophet (peace

and blessings be upon him) replied, “It is to believe in Allah; His
Angels; His Books; His Messengers; the Last Day; and in
Destiny/Predestination--its good and its bad.” The man said, “You
have spoken the truth. Now, tell me about Spiritual Excellence and
Perfection (Ihsan).” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
replied, “It is to worship Allah as though you see Him; and if you don’t
see Him, (know that) He surely sees you.” “Now, tell me of the Last
Hour,” asked the man. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
replied, “The one questioned knows no more of it than the one
asking.” “Then tell me about its signs,” said the man. The Prophet
(peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “That slave women will
give birth to their mistresses; and that you see barefoot, unclothed
shepherds competing in the construction of tall and towering
buildings.”
Then the visitor left, and I waited a long time. Then the Prophet
(peace and blessings be upon him) asked me, “O Umar, do you know
who the questioner was?” I replied, “Allah and His Messenger know
best.” He said (Allah bless him and give him peace), “It was Jibril. He
came to you to teach you your Deen.” 6

This (comprehensive definition of the Deen of) Islam is clearly not

in opposition to the new discovery and disclosure of anything in the
Universe, or the increase of (all sorts of) knowledge. Rather, Islam
guides one to reflect; ponder; think; contemplate; study; examine;
meditate; engage in remembrance; and to always seek to increase
one’s knowledge! I recommend and advise everyone to read & study
the following clear verses of the Glorious Qur’an--the book which
falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it!7 It makes
clear the path to Truth and Absolute Reality (Tariq al-Haqq)--for the one
whom Allah has illuminated his inner/spiritual insight (Basira) with the
Light of Faith or Iman--and it guides to the Straight Path!

Allah says, “That those who died might die after a Clear Sign
(had been given), and those who lived might live after a Clear
Sign (had been given). Allah is He Who hears and knows (all
things).”(8:42); “But Allah calls to the Home of Peace; He
guides whom He pleases to a path that is straight.”(10:25); “If
it had been your Lord’s will, they would have all believed--all

6 Reported in the Sahih of Imam Muslim; Sahih al-Bukhari; Sunan Abu Dawud; An-
Nasa’i; and Tirmidhi)

7 Allah says in Surah Fussilat, “…and verily, it is an honorable well-fortified

respected Book. Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it,
(it is) sent down by the Al-Wise, Worthy of all praise.” (41:41-42)
who are on the earth! Will you then compel mankind against
their will to believe?”(10:99).

Allah ta’ala says in one of the greatest verses sent down: “Allah!
La ilaha illa Huwa! There is no god but He, Al-Hayyul Qayyum
(The Ever-Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that
exists). Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him
belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the
earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His
Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creation) in
this world, and what happens to them in the Hereafter. And
they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except
that which He wills. His Kursi (footstool) extends over the
heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding
and preserving them. And He is The Most High, The
Almighty.”(2:255)8; and, “Verily, the likeness of (this) worldly
life is as the rain water which We send down from the sky, so
by it arises the intermingled produce of the earth of which
men and cattle eat; until when the earth is clad in its
adornments and is beautified, and its people think that they
have all the powers of disposal over it, Our Command reaches
it by night or by day and We make it like a clean-mown
harvest--as if it had not flourished just yesterday!” (10:24).

Allah says, while describing the various means of conveyance:

“And (He has created) horses, mules and donkeys for you to
ride and as an adornment. And He creates (other) things of
which you have no knowledge.”(16:8); He also says, “And there
is not a thing, but with Us are the storehouses and treasures

8 This verse is known as Ayat al-Kursi. Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) said, “The Kursi
(Footstool) compared to the
‘Arsh (Throne) is nothing but like a ring thrown out upon the open space of the
desert.”
thereof. And We send it not down except in a known
measure.”(15:21); “And indeed, We have put the big stars
(Zodiac) in the heaven and We have beautified it for the
beholders and We have guarded it from every outcast, rejected
and accursed devil--except him who steals the hearing--then
he is pursued by a clear flaming fire.”(15:16-18); He also
says, “We will show them Our Signs in the Universe and in
their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that He is
the Absolute Reality. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord
that He is a witness over all things?”(41:53);

“And He shows you His Signs. Which, then of the Ayat of

Allah do you deny?”(40:81); “And on the earth are signs for
those who have faith with certainty, and also in your own
selves. Will you not then see?”(51:20-21); “Say: ‘Behold all
that is in the heavens and the earth!’…but neither Signs nor
warners benefit those who believe not. It is not for any person
to believe, except by the Permission of Allah, and He will put
the wrath on those who are heedless.” (10:100-101); “And
among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth
and whatever moving (living) creatures He has dispersed in
them both. And He is All-Powerful over their assembling when
He wills.”(42:29); “O assembly of jinn and men! If you have
power to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth,
then pass beyond them! But you will never be able to pass
them, except with authority (from Allah!)” (55:33)

These verses will continue to have relevance until the Day of

Resurrection, because the meanings of the Qur’an have no limit, and
the possibility (of further interpretation) is based upon the authority
and power of knowledge…meaning by His Authority and Power and in
accordance with His Will. For whatsoever Allah wills and desires is,
and whatsoever He does not will or desire is not! He says in Surah Al-
Imran, “Allah creates what He wills.”(3:47); and He says, “Do
they not look at the camels, how they are created? And at the
heaven, how it is raised? And at the mountains, how they are
rooted (and fixed firm)? And at the earth, how it is
outspread?”(88:17-20); and, “It is not for the Sun to overtake
the Moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all float,
each in an orbit.”(36:40);

And He says, “And from among His Signs are the night and
the day, and the Sun and the Moon. Do not prostrate
yourselves to the Sun nor to the Moon, but prostrate
yourselves to Allah, Who created them, if it is Him you (really)
worship.” (41:37); and, “So I swear by the setting of the
stars! And verily, that is indeed a great oath if you but
knew.”(56:75-76); “Nay, but they have denied the knowledge
whereof they could not comprehend and what has not yet been
fulfilled. Thus did those before them deny. Then see what was
the end of the Zalimun (wrong doers).”(10:39); and, “Woe that
Day to the deniers!”(77:15); and, “Then which of the blessings
and favors of your Lord will you both (men and jinn)
deny?”(55:13).

ISTIDRAJ: THE MIRACLES OF THE FRIENDS OF SHAYTAN

The performance of miraculous feats (al-Khawariq) at the hands of

those who are disbeliever’s and those who deny the existence of the
Creator (Al-Bari) and others who mock, scorn and ridicule Allah, it is
only “Istidraj”. Allah says in Surah Al-Qalam, “Then leave Me Alone
with such as deny this Qur’an. We shall punish them gradually
from directions they perceive not. And I will grant them a
respite. Verily, My Plan is strong.”(68:44-45); and He says, “Let
not the free disposal (and affluence) of the disbeliever’s
throughout the land deceive you--a brief enjoyment! Then
their ultimate abode is Hell; worst indeed is that place for
rest!”(3:196-197); and, “Indeed, We bestowed upon you seven
of al-Mathani (seven oft-repeated verses of Surah al-Fatiha)
and the Grand Qur’an! Look not ambitiously with your eyes at
what We have bestowed on certain classes of them
(disbelievers), nor grieve over them. And lower your wings for
the believers. And say: ‘I am indeed a plain warner.’”(15:87-
89).

As previously mentioned in the “Hadith of Jibril”, a Muslim is clearly

distinguished from a disbeliever 9. ‫آية‬ ‫الواحد انه علي تدل‬
‫له شيء كل في و‬
“And in everything there is a sign, pointing to the fact that He is One
and Unique!” All of the deeds of a believer are based upon the (firm)
foundation of Faith, while the deeds of a disbeliever are likened unto a
mirage, as Allah says in Surah An-Nur, “As for those who
disbelieve, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert. The
thirsty one thinks it to be water until he comes up to it, he
finds it to be nothing; but he finds Allah with him, Who will pay
him his due. And Allah is Swift in taking account. Or (the state
of the disbeliever) is like the darkness in a vast deep sea,

9 Literally, “a Muslim is in one valley while a disbeliever is in another valley” (al

muslim fi’l wadi wa’l Kafir fi’l
wadi); “The first ‘valley’ is occupied by those who have faith in the verses of Allah
and continuously draw
near to Him, while the second ‘valley’ is for those who deny and turn away from
said verses.”
overwhelmed with waves topped by waves, topped by dark
clouds, (layers of) darkness upon darkness--if a man stretches
out his hand, he can hardly see it! And he for whom Allah has
not appointed light, for him there is no light.”(24:39-40).10

As for the judgment and ruling (Hukm) regarding miraculous feats,

it differs based upon whose hand they manifest. If they appear on the
hand of a righteous believer--those inviting to the message of Islam--
they are called “Karama” and the one performing such a miracle does
not seek to challenge, defy or deny (the message of Islam) by means
of them. In fact, they do not even see such miracles as coming from
themselves. Whereas when they manifest upon the hands of those
who conceal the truth and disbelieve in Allah, they are called “Istidraj”
and “Makr”, as Allah says: “We shall punish them gradually from
directions they perceive not. And I will grant them a respite.
Verily, My Plan is strong.”(68:44-45).

It is Iblis (the Devil, Satan, Lucifer) who is heading and presiding

over this disbelief, concealment (kafarat), and corruption (fajarat)
which has spread throughout the world (Alam)…and this due to his
being under the curse and abomination (la’nat) of Allah ta’ala.
Therefore, I say to the one who is amazed, surprised or wonders at the
materialistic or physical miraculous feats (Khawariq al-Madiyya)
appearing in this Age (Zaman)…as well as to the one who is gripped by
doubt or skepticism (Shak)…you shall indeed see even greater and
more astonishing things! When the Greatest Imposter or ‘Anti-Christ’
(ad-Dajjal al-Akbar) shall appear--having with him the (false

10 In other words, the deeds of a disbeliever are like a mirage for a thirsty person,
when he will meet Allah,
he will think that he has a good reward with Allah for his good deeds, but he will
find nothing, like a
mirage, and will be thrown in the fire of Hell.
appearance of) Paradise and the Hellfire (Ma’ahu al-Jannat wa’n
Nar)11--as it will appear to the beholder and it will seemingly appear
that he has the very power over life and death!

In the book entitled “Jami’ al-Fawa’id” it mentions a hadith

concerning the Dajjal, on the authority of Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (RA), who
said: one of the best men“The Messenger of Allah told us a long
narrative about the Dajjal, and among the many things he mentioned,
was his saying, "Ad-Dajjal will come and it will be forbidden for him to
pass through the entrances of Medina12. He will land in some of the

11 Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said, "Shall I not tell
you about the Dajjal a story of
which no Prophet told his nation? The Dajjal is one-eyed and will bring with him
what will resemble Hell and Paradise, and
what he will call Paradise will be actually Hell; so I warn you (against him) as Noah
warned his nation against him."
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Book #55, Hadith #554); Narrated Mujahid: That when the
people mentioned before Ibn 'Abbas
that the Dajjal would have the word “Kafir” (i.e. unbeliever) or the letters Kaf Fa Ra
(the root of the Arabic verb 'to conceal;
disbelieve') written on his forehead, I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "I did not hear this,
but the Prophet said, 'If you want to see
Ibrahim, then look at your companion (i.e. the Prophet), but Moses was a curly-
haired, brown man (who used to ride) a red
camel, the reins of which was made of fires of date palms. As if I were now looking
down a valley." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book
#55, Hadith # 574).

12 Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) as
saying: “Dajjal will come from the eastern side with the intention of attacking
Medina until he will get down behind Uhud.
Then the angels will turn his face towards Syria and there he will perish. (Sahih al-
Bukhari, Book #007, Hadith #3187;
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: “There are, at the
entrances of Medina, angels so that plague and the Dajjal shall not penetrate into
it.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book #007,
Hadith #3186); Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying: “The Last Hour will not
come until the Romans would land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq (Constantinople). An
army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the
people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them).
When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the
Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took
prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them;
salty barren areas (outside) Medina; On that day the best man or will
come up to him and say, 'I bear witness and testify that you are the
same Dajjal whose description was given to us by the Messenger of
Allah!' Ad-Dajjal will say to the people, 'If I kill this man and bring him
back to life again, will you doubt my claim?' They will say, 'No.' Then
Ad-Dajjal will kill that man and bring him back to life. That man will
say, 'By Allah! Now I know your reality better than before!' Ad-Dajjal
will say, 'I want to kill him but I cannot’. 13

In another narration, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported that the

Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said regarding that believer who was killed:
“The Dajjal will come forth and a person from amongst the believers
will go towards him and the armed forces of the Dajjal would meet him
and they would say to him, ‘Where do you intend to go’? He will say: ‘I
intend to go to this one who is coming forth. They will reply to him:
‘Do you not believe in our lord? He will say: ‘There is nothing hidden
about our Lord! They will then say: ‘Kill him!’. Then some amongst
themselves will say: ‘Has not your master (Dajjal) forbidden you to kill

and the Muslims will say: ‘Nay, by Allah! We would never get aside from you and
from our brethren that you may fight them.
They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will
never forgive! Another third (part of the
army). which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's sight, will be
killed and the final third who will never be put
to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they
would be busy in distributing the spoils of war
(amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, Satan would
cry: ‘The Dajjal has taken your place among
your family’. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when
they would come to Syria, Dajjal would come
out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks.
Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and
then Isa ‘Jesus’ son of Maryam (peace be upon him) would descend and be asked
to lead them in prayer. When the enemy of
Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water
and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at
all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand
and he would show them their blood on his
sword (the sword of Jesus Christ). (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book #041, Hadith #6924).
13 Sahih al-Bukhari, Book #30, Hadith 106.
anyone without (his consent)’? And so they will take him to the Dajjal
and when the believer would see him, he would say: ‘O people! He is
the Dajjil about whom Allah's Messenger has informed (us).

The Dajjal would then order for his head to be crushed and will say
these words: ‘Seize him and crush his head!’. He (the believer) would
be struck on his back and on his stomach. Then the Dajjal will ask him:
‘Do you now believe in me?’ He will say: ‘You are the false Messiah!’.
He would then order him to be torn (into pieces) with a saw from the
parting of his head up to the parting of his legs. After that the Dajjal
will walk between the two halves (of his corpse). He will then say to
him: ‘Stand up, and the man will stand erect’. Then Dajjal will say to
him: ‘Do you now believe in me? And the believer will say: ‘It has only
added to my insight concerning you (that you are really the Dajjal). He
(the believer) will then say: ‘O people! He will not be able to act with
anyone else amongst people (in such a manner) after me!’. The Dajjal
would try to seize him so that he should kill him (again), but the space
between his neck and collar bone would be turned into copper and he
would find no means to kill him. So he would catch hold of him by his
hand and feet and fling him (into the air) and the people would think it
as if he had been thrown in the Hell-Fire whereas he will be thrown into
Paradise’. Then the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: ‘He will be the
most eminent amongst persons in regard to martyrdom in the
Presence of the Lord of the worlds!’ 14

Glorified and Exalted is Allah!--The One and Only (True God), the
Irresistable, the Doer of All That He Wills (Subhan Allah al-Wahid al-
Qahar al-Fa’ala limaa yurid)--for there is nothing which occurs within
the progress and advancement of human scientific knowledge without
it being attributable to Him, and with some people not knowing the

14 Sahih al-Bukhari, Book #41, Hadith #7019.

possibility of such (knowledge)! Soon it will be apparent who is
Greater and the Most (wa lasawfa yazharu maa huwa akthar wa
akthar)…and that which shall occur in the Path of Righteousness and
Worshipful Service (Tariq al-‘Ibada wa Silaah) will be multiplied many
times over what is seen today in the Path of Materialistic Unveiling
(Tariq al-Kashf al-Madiy)! As Allah says, “We have neglected
nothing in the Book.” (6:38) 15
; and “They know only the outer
appearance of the life of this world, (while) they are heedless
of the Hereafter.”(30:7)…as it mentions in the Surah called “The
Romans”!

This Qur’an mentions to us the story of a righteous servant (Dhu’l

Qarnayn) whom Allah established in the earth and gave to him the
means of everything, and so he followed a way until he came to the
rising place of the sun…and this without ships or planes!16 He also
tells us the story of a servant who was in the midst of a corrupt and
depraved people, and he describes them (in the future) as “swooping
down from every mound” 17
So, Glorified and Exalted is He, Who Does

15 The entire verse is: “There is not a moving (living) creature on the earth,
nor a bird that flies with its
two wings, but are communities like yourselves. We have neglected
nothing in the Book, then to
your Lord they (all) shall be gathered.” (Surah al-An’am).

16 The verse Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) is alluding to is: “Until, when he came to the
rising place of the sun, he
found it rising on a people for whom We (Allah) had provided no shelter
against the sun.” (18:90).
The people referred to in this verse can only be the Original or Black peoples,
having “no shelter from the
sun”

17 Allah says in Surah al-Anbiya, “Until, when Ya’juj and Ma’juj (Gog and
Magog) are let loose (from
their barrier), and swoop down from every mound.”(21:96). This barrier is
mentioned in Surah al-
Kahf: “They said, ‘O Dhu’l Qarnayn! Verily, Ya’juj and Ma’juj (Gog and
Magog) are doing great
mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute in order that you
might erect a barrier between
All That He Wills and there is no other ‘Doer’ besides Him! In my book
“Al-Hujjat al-Balagha” (The Conclusive Argument and Proof), I have
mentioned some of the Prophetic narrations) (Ahadith which address
some of these new (technological) inventions (such as televisions,
telephones, radios, etc), so you may refer to that book for more
information. Allah is the Enabling Guide to the Straight Path. There is
no might or power except with Allah, the Almighty, The Most High!
May Allah guide us to that which He loves and is pleased with! May He
heal our hearts of their sickness’! Ameen! Wa Salaam!

us and them?’…until Allah says, “So they (Ya’juj and Ma’juj) could not
scale it or dig through it.”
(18:94-97). Narrated Zaynab bint Jahsh that one day the Messenger of Allah
(SAWS) entered upon her in a
state of fear and said, ‘La ilaha il Allah! Woe to the Arabs from the great evil that
has approached (them). Today, a hole
has been opened in the dam of Ya’juj and Ma’juj like this’ The Prophet made a
circle with his index finger and
thumb. Zaynab bint Jahsh added: “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Shall we be
destroyed though there will be righteous
people among us?’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes, if al-Khaba’ith (evil persons)
increased.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book #9, Hadith
#135) This barrier and its present-day ruins are found in the Caucasus Mountain
range (Khazaria) and “Gog
and Magog” are the Zionist ‘Jews’ who are actually Europeans posing as “Jews”.
The (almost empty) lake of
Tiberius is the one mentioned by the Prophet (SAWS), when he said: “The first of
them would pass the lake of
Tiberius and drink out of it and when the last of them would pass it, he would say:
‘There was once water there’. For more
