| Letter From Cairo Al-Azhar University - The second American University in Cairo! Like its predecessor in Beirut, the American University in Cairo (www.aucegypt.edu) has long been a hub of kufr in the heart of the Islamic lands. Many of the able minds of the Islamic Ummah have been clouded with the thoughts of disbelief as a result of this American institution. As an American university it is able to control its curriculum independently of the Egyptian state controls, and so it is able to offer pure unadulterated kufr to its students. Its influence over the youth of the city has been tremendous; as many of its graduates go on to take positions of responsibility and decision making. Those worst affected by the disbelieving ideas of personal freedom, free mixing and kufr political concepts, parade themselves around the ancient city of Cairo in the new parks and shopping malls that have been specially built for their likes, to encourage debauchery and free mingling. Rather like the dirty scum that floats to the top of the river, these western personalities conceal the true, clean sentiment that flows through the hearts of the rest of Cairo's citizens. Cairo is the place of the second Masjid of Islam, built by the Wali (governor) Amr ibn al-Ass, and the location of the first University in the world, Jamiat al-Azhar, established to teach Islam. Ironically, Cairo is now a centre of Kufr in the Islamic lands, due to the presence of such American institutions as mentioned above, and now the University of Azhar itself. Since America has finally realised that she cannot win the minds of the mass of Muslims to her corrupted capitalist ideology through conviction, she has decided to follow the path of the European Orientalists in corrupting the understanding of Islamic concepts amongst the Muslims. Recently, America has targeted the Islamic Aqeeda (basis) itself in its last and desperate attempt to dominate the world with its colonialism. Sources inside the University of Azhar's teaching staff have confirmed that America has instructed them to reduce the teaching of Tawheed (the Islamic Aqeeda) and to introduce a new subject into the curriculum: Misconceptions of Western Culture! It does not take any deep insight to conclude that this new teaching will include plenty of blind encouragement for democracy, individual freedom, free market policies and human-rights. However, more sinisterly, it will also necessitate the Shuyook (pl. of Sheikh) of Azhar to further twist and lie about the Qur'an and Hadith than they already do. From a university that already includes in its basic examinations references to Kufr concepts such as the 'Shaheed al-Watan' (martyr for the Nation); it should not be surprising to note a marked turn from Islamic teaching to Kufr. However, Muslims should be more vigilant in the face of America's deceitful attacks against Islam. Incidentally, the American directive was not reserved only for Azhar, but also directed at the other Arab universities in the Middle East. Only the Saudi universities are reported to have rejected the order. Unfortunately, Saudi universities have long taught Tawheed as an academic subject purely for memorisation and not for implementation. So, this directive would have made little difference anyway. We now can all see clearly the status of those two people that Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) warned us about in regards to the goodness in the Ummah. He (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, there are two people, whom if they are bad the whole Ummah becomes bad, and if they are good the whole Ummah is good. The Sahaba asked, who are they Ya Rasool Allah? He replied, 'the leaders and the scholars'. When those who rule over us betray our emotions and the ones with knowledge rubber stamp this betrayal, the Islamic Ummah has to act in order to safeguard her Deen, life and honour. She must remove the leaders and vanquish the systems of Kufr, replacing it with the rule by that which Allah (Subhanahu Wa ta’ala) has revealed, the rightly guided Khilafah. The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said "If you see my Ummah afraid of telling the oppressor: You are an oppressor, it is farewell to the ummah". [Ahmad, Tabarani, Al-Hakim and Al-Baihaqi] Oh Allah, Let this be a warning to us to take heed of! Abu Yousuf - Cairo 03 January 2002 Kcom Journal |

| AA "Unfortunately, Saudi universities have long taught Tawheed as an academic subject purely for memorisation and not for implementation. So, this directive would have made little difference anyway." What is this rubbish ? We have so many alumni of the Saudi Universities in the West who have, over the years, re-lit the torch of Tawheed, and educated the masses on what Tawheed is, what Bidah is, and what the real aqeeda is. To give just one example, Bilal Phillips' book on Tawheed, one of THE best and most important books on Islam in modern times. And he was a graduate of Madinah University. This book has been my main source for the understanding of Tawheed, and I have been teaching Tawheed from it to my Sunday school students for many years. To say it is "for memoriztion, not implementation" is an insult to Brother Bilal. And BTW, there is no muslim more country more free of Shirk and Bidah than Saudi Arabia. Yes, we know the rulers are corrupt, but at least you don't have grave worshipping, saints festivals, and all the other shirk/bidah rubbish that goes on in Pakistan, Egypt, Syria and anywhere else you turn. |

| assalaamu alaikum Bid'a? Grave worshipping & saints festivals are much more than that, and their practise has to be taught against. I do agree with HM that Saudi is probably the most shirk-free country in the world IF you are talking in the sense of 'traditional' shirk, i.e. worshipping graves, idols, etc. However, Saudi Arabia is just the same as every other country in the world in making shirk in Allah's Hakimiyyah, i.e., Allah's right that it is His laws which should be governed by.

"""And BTW, there is no muslim more country more free of Shirk and Bidah than Saudi Arabia. Yes, we know the rulers are corrupt, but at least you don't have grave worshipping, saints festivals, and all the other shirk/bidah rubbish that goes on in Pakistan, Egypt, Syria and anywhere else you turn. """ The only reason why some PEOPLE are blinded to the shirk of suadi arabia is the absence of implementation in teaching tawheed there. remember, making of laws is shirk al akbar. a currupt ruler is some one who steals a bit of money here and there. making man made laws which people will be forced to live by is shirk. Making laws allah never made, and abregating of laws allah has made is shirk and even the illiterate know this. but with out the teaching of implementation, many are blinded to it. The scholers who teach this properly have filled suadi prisons and their female relatives are busy getting raped by suadi police and army while you read this. Your accusation against the Muslim ummah is so dispicable it leaves me speachless. I dont think people would have expected it from you. This is constently churned out by supporters of the mushrik ragime of suadi arabia. No one can defend the Shirk of suadi arabia and stay in the fold of islam so what people do is shout out how bad the rest of the world is. I have not seen any Muslims bow down to a grave or pray to saints. some ignorent people may do bad things, but to accuse the whole ummah out side of amarikiyah arabia of doing it is disgusting. I am not defending the actions of the ignorent, but the way Suadi followers discribe them are not only wrong but often out right lies. These lies were used by the forefathers of that ragime to fight the othmania khilafah with british guns. They called the caliph and his army mushriks while fighting side by side with their brothers, the british. Some sufis might do some minor shirk, but dont compare that to the shirk of making laws above Allah's laws. No main stream allim calls some one who asks a "saint" to pray to allah for him as a Kaffar. Try to find a Alim before 200 years ago who said some on removing Allahs laws and replacing them with man made is Muslim. |

| slm "riba" is called "special interest".. it's minor than shirk???? all the royal prince can gamble in vegas and nicosia.. minor than shirk?? ..the list just goes on... The psuedo islam preached by the saudis is just superficial, just because some people with petro dollars in madina university can suddenly discover that islam can be 'reformed' doesn't mean that we can learn 'tawheed' from people who persecute minorities and scholars!!! what kind of purity are you talking about?? i have witnessed the worst form of persecution having grown up in that country... the ugly ramifications and results of this preaching is evident now and is poisoning islam with its teachings.!! two wrongs can never make a right.. !! wlm ahmer |

| As Salamu Alaykum, Book 034, Number 6462: 'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, Allah does nit take away knowledge by snatching it from the people but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, so that when He leaves no learned person, people turn to ignorant as their, leaders; then they are asked to deliver religious verdicts and they deliver them without knowledge, they go astray, and lead others astray. Is it really a big secret that the government of Saud commissions its scholars, and influences fatwas by means of coersion, and that it has been going on even during the times of some Khalifat? Is it really so unknown that the U.S. big wigs have Saudi citizens money in their pockets and political campaigns, right next to the Israeli dollars? People circulate paradigms that place the creation of universities as an originally Islamic institute, when this may or may not be so, they have undeniably become only the rungs on the ladder to money making and Western society staking. I am not personally of the opinion that what information and science that can be acquired at colleges and universities is evil, but I do believe that one cannot traverse those systems without bowing to a Western application and understanding of said information and sciences. I believe that the time is long over due for, as the article suggests, a real attempt to live out the principles and teachings of the Quran and Sunnah, as opposed to constantly deferring belief and actions to the whims of people in others' pockets. There are many people who can rattle off the Quran, or comment upon the strength or weakness of ahadith, and give a fatwa based upon ones' scholarship in a madhab, but true iman and aqeedah cannot exist in isolated communities on the outskirts of little known towns and villages, with few solitary, sincere, and uncompromising shiekhs, unafraid of local rulers, and unattached to what those rulers promise to violate of their property and families. A form of shirk is altering Islamic countries' educational institutions, policies, laws, and treatment of its' own ummah according to the demands of the kafr. Knowledge has never been the amount of information that someone is able to process or regurgitate, even if it is Islamic, but rather the ability and will to apply, embody, convey, and preserve it. Shirk is shirk, and joining partners with Allah SWT is nothing that has to be torn out of someone's heart or brain, but rather can be observed in their actions and words. It is the one thing that we have been told will never be forgiven by Allah SWT, unless repentance is made, and the shirk is removed. The next hadith lets us know exactly where we all stand with regards to where we seek to live, and just how guilty we all are if we merely stand around and watch: Book 37, Number 4325: Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If any man is among a people in whose midst he does acts of disobedience, and, though they are able to make him change (his acts), they do not change, Allah will smite them with punishment before they die.

[color=red]No one can defend the Shirk of suadi arabia and stay in the fold of islam [/color]so what people do is shout out how bad the rest of the world is. [/quote] Brother, this is just pure exaggeration. What kind of principle is this, that unless you agree the Saudi government is mushrik, you yourself are a kaafir? And just a few days ago it was you who were labelling others khawarij! And akhee, the shirk acts that you say you've never seen is pervasive throughout the lands of Muslims. What was the first thing done when Mazar-i-Sharif fell? People started going to the grave of Ali radiAllahu `anhu. In Egypt there are graves around which people make tawaf. What about the Data Darbar in Lahore where people make du'a to the person in the grave? And likewise Ajmer in India? We can NOT allow ourselves to fall into the trap of sincerely striving to implement one part of Islam and then taking the attitude that this is the only thing worth striving for. Ibn Taymiyyah said that a revival is needed in whatever part of Islam whose implementation is lacking; thus, when there is an absence of political Islam we need a revivial in that, and when there is an absence of tawheed in worship we, likewise, need a revival in that. Purification of tawheed in Allah's Haakimiyyah is not THE issue of the day, it is only one of the issues of the day. This tendency to blow things out of proportion detracts from the good points made. And why do other people have the tendency to think that everything coming out of Saudi has some fault with it? Yes, the Saudi government's influence can and does have a bad effect, but why do these people then get so upset when their own Imams/leaders are criticised for acting like puppets in the US/UK media? Are the imams who do the job of conveying Bush's message on US/UK television any better than those who do it thru Saudi Arabia? In fact, Muslim "representatives" in the US/UK one can argue do teir task willingly, whereas, at least in Saudi you could argue they do it out of fear of imprisonment. Kashif Wa Salaam |

| AA It looks like some of us need lessons in Islam 101. The bottom line is that whoever commits Shirk, then there will be absoultely no recourse for doing that, no matter what other good deeds he has done. So a muslim can strive all his life with salat, sadaqa, saum, tahahhjud, even Jihad, and if he worshipped a dead saint at his tomb, ALL that he did will be for nothing. And one other thing. There are probably no more than 10% of muslims today who pray 5 times a day. According to some scholars, this would imply that 90% of people calling themselves muslims are not even beleivers. Seems to me we need to work on this before we can work on anything else. |

| AA Sister Princess, Man made laws are shirk according to the Quran and Sunnah. This is because only Allah SWT has the authority to declare things to be halal or haram. Any human who claims that anything is haram or halal according to his own wishes is commiting shirk. So for example, Allah SWT has said that homosexuality is haram. But according to man made laws in the majority of countires in the West, it is halal. And this is pure shirk. Similarly, interest is haram. But thruout the whole world, man made laws have made it halal. We can get into many other examples, but the bottom line is that making what is haram to be halal (or vice versa) in shrik. There is NO disagreement amongst the scholars in this regard. Regarding your second query, Imams Hanbal, Shaffi and Malik are all of the view that the one who has abandoned salat has gone out of the fold of Islam. Imam Abu Hanifa is of the view that only if one considers salat not to be obligatory does one go out of the fold of Islam. So there is a disagreement amongst the scholars about this, but it is clear that all scholars consider abandoment or neglect of salat to at least lead to disbelief. I do not see why this thread should be locked. Tawheed is absoultely the first and foremost thing in Islam. Without tawheed, there is nothing. And we all need to understand this. Yes, gambling is haram, but it is NOT the same as commiting shirk. I urge anyone who has not read it to read Bilal Phillips book on Tawheed. IHMO, this is a MUST for every English speaking muslim. There are a few chapters on the book available here : http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/tawheed/abutaw/abutaw_1.html |
