THE DAY OF WRATH
Is the intifadha of Rajab only the beginning?

by Sh. Safar al-Hawali

In this short but important treatise (77 pages on a Word document) Sh. Safar talks about the build up to one of the major events before the Last Day and issues that surround it, and that is the conquering of Jerusalem by the Jews and what lies beyond that.

Uniquely for this genre of book the author bases his comments solely on the Prophecies of Isaiah & Daniel in the Bible and historical facts to support his interpretation of these Prophecies. He discusses the beliefs and role of the Christian & Jewish Zionists in laying the foundations of the terrible "abomination of desolation" that will befall Jerusalem in the end days and how this will be an ominous precursor to the fate of the Jews some time thereafter.

I was amazed at how well the Prophecies fit in with the state of the world today and specifically what they implied regarding the fate of Israel & America.

The translation is quite good but lacks the flow of books by say, Bilal Philips. It isn't an easy book to read, however, and certainly isn't one for beginners in Islam, especially since Sh. Safar makes references to the history of the Middle East Peace Process, so one does have to know something about the recent history of that region.

This book is not only targetted at Muslims, but also at a Christian & Jewish audience with a view to guiding them to Islam using the texts of the Bible.

Since i'm very much interested in the topic of the Last Days and the future of the Middle East, i'll give this [img]http://www.jannah.org/articles/star.gif[/img][img]http://www.jannah.org/articles/star.gif[/img][img]http://www.jannah.org/articles/star.gif[/img][img]http://www.jannah.org/articles/star.gif[/img]



Below is the Author's introduction. You can download the whole thing from [url]http://www.islaam.com/books/intifadha.htm[/url]

All praise belongs to Allah alone, and blessings and peace be upon the final Prophet:

The contents of this booklet are glad tidings to the oppressed people of the occupied territories particularly, and to all Muslims in general. However, it was not written to give them glad tidings, the Qur'an and the Sunna are sufficient for that purpose. Any other source has limits to its reliability and therefore cannot be the basis of Muslim belief, in contrast to what is supposed by some Christians, Jews and Muslims. No, this booklet was written only to outline terms for engagement with the theoretical foundations of Zionism in its two facets: Jewish Zionism and Christian Zionism, the enemy which has distracted the world, and filled the airwaves as well as books with talk of Biblical Prophecy -especially since the latest intifadha. The study of prophecy is one of the subjects of futurist studies, except that prophecy contains that which is authentic and that which is not. The reader deserves to hear the final verdict on this all-important subject, and the Muslim reader especially deserves to have the reserves called out for this long, vicious battle. The reserves in this case being the topical study of the doctrinal foundations of the enemy's psyche and behavior from his own sources which are the spiritual foundation of his faith in his cause. When doing this we are not in actuality producing anything new, but are only following the example of the Qur'anic methodology that teaches us to go back to the scriptural sources in order to prove our case and compel the falsifier:

"Say, 'bring forth the Torah and read it if you are truthful'"

As we know they are knowingly concealing the truth and obscuring it with falsehood. If the justness of the cause is the spiritual foundation of the fighter, then the Torah does not merely prove that cause of the Zionist soldier is unjust, but that it is his duty to fight for the opposing side, and that the settler must understand that his coming to this land only serves to bring down the torment and wrath of Allah upon him. Thus, the least he can do is to depart, although we would love to see him rightly-guided to Allah's light and become our brother in Islam -which is the Faith of Abraham- and to share with us in the blessing of faith in all of Allah's scriptures and messengers without discriminating against any of them. He should not delay his departure or his Islam until the day of wrath when he may lose the opportunity. It is my advice to every Jew in our occupied territories not to leave the Torah as the exclusive property of the Rabbis who receive free exclusion from the mandatory military service, while he must put his life on the line for it and them. I advise him to read it, but with his intelligence and awareness, not with the Rabbis glosses and interpretations, and he will discover the truth which will soon be clearly seen by the whole world. He should also understand that no matter what atrocities he commits against us, whether killing our children, or burning our crops, or corrupting our lives, we will only deal with him according to the law of Allah, not according to our desires. We want only for him, and for all mankind, to achieve Allah's pleasure and happiness in this life and the next. The complete account and just sentence will only be given on the Day of Judgment before Allah Himself, who shall judge each of us according to the good or evil which we have done. At that time our claims will be to no avail:

"It is not according to your desires, nor the desires of the followers of the Bible. Whoever does evil will be requited for it, and he will find no supporter or helper besides Allah."

This is a word of fairness to which we hold ourselves, and to which we hope our opponents will have the courage to hold themselves, or attempt to hold themselves.

I'll look forward to reading that book bro, just had a skim through the chapters, seems good. Anyway does anyone have a detailed account on the last days of judegement, I've got the one written by Ibn Taymiyah, but theres another one which is very detailed and the author sums it up very nicely, a friend had it once but I've now lost contact with him. In fact if anyone has any other day of judgement books that the've read or recommend please forward me the URL or drop me a message.

Go to this site, http://www.islaam.com/books/intifadha.htm to get the book.

save the document to your pc then  go to your publishers to print it, then get youself a e-commerce store or web site designed by moi and sell the print copies off. Any profits go to the Islamic Relief.

Great answer BroHanif *smile*

Arsalan, the brothers wanted it released asap, so they opted for a net release as opposed to it going out in bound form.

On a related note, an excellent set of tapes to go with this booklet would be "The Islamic World: Where is it heading?" by Ali Timimi. You can order them from sunnah@aol.com [United States] or mail@jimas.org [UK].

mashallah the shaikh has done a good job
shaikh Deedat put the nail in the coffin of the evangelists
belief that the bible was the word of god

this shaikh has started the process of destroying the
evangelists genocides against muslims throughout history
using revelation
