[chottala.com] Al-Ahbash: Their History And Their Beliefs



Al-Ahbash: Their History And Their Beliefs
 
Z. Alzamil
All praise belongs to Allah, and the Salat and Salam upon the Messanger of Allah Muhammad bin
Abdillah.
 
Habashi's History:
 
This group called Ahbash relating to their first leader Abdullah Al-Harawi Al-Habashi. He came to
Lebanon from Ethiopia (Habashah), that why they called him Al-habashi. He left Addis Ababa after
he made a Fitnah there its called Kolob Fitnah. The Addis Ababa's people know him as Shikh Al-
Fitnah according to evidence from some of his relative. What he did there, he work with the ruler of
Endraji -the son in law for the Ethiopia's president Helaselasi - against Islamic Associations there,
and he helped him to close all the Islamic National Association's schools for memorizing the Holy
Quran in Hrar city in 1940 ( 1367 Hejrah), and they issued their judge on the schools' manager -
Ibrahim Hassan- to jail him twenty three years, also he helped that ruler to internment the scholars
there. He did that for those people, because they are Wahabi. For that reason, the people called him after that is the Shikh Al-Fitnah.
 
When he came to Lebanon, his followers there forgot his history, and he still does there - in
Lebanon - as what he did before in Ethiopia, if you disagree with him in any problem you will be
Kafir automatically, he said Ikhwan, Al-Albani and Ibn Baz are Kufars, Ibn Taymiyah is Kafir and
Murtad and Zendeq and he asked his followers to lit Ibn Taymiyyah's books, Imam Al-thahabi is
wicked, Sayd Sabeq is Majusi (The people who worship the fire) and in the other side he praised
Jamal AbdulNasir because he killed Syed Qutob. He asked his followers to hit or kill anyone who
has beliefs different than their beliefs, to make sure ask the Lebanon's Mosques Imams, ask Adnan
Yasen, how many times they tried to kill him, ask Hassan Katuji, what he did for them to let them
following him to hit an hurt him, ask Jamal Al-Thahabi and Abdul-Hamed Shanuha and others why
they leave Lebanon. Try to listen to their Radio, and see what they described Shikh Muhammad Al-
Juzo, they describe him as lewd man.
 
In front of all these things, we could not find him or his followers did something toward the Batiniyah,
but what he did in one of his lectures, he encouraged the people to appeal the aid from AL-Albeit,
and there is no problem to say O' Ali or O' Hussein ( Ya Ali , Ya Hussein).
 
He also, gave some strange fatwas for his followers, he allow Al-riba (the interest) Some people
said he is Jew man, however there is no clear evidence for that, but at least he has a lot of the Jew's characteristics.
 
Habashi's Beliefs :
 
Al-Ahbash claimed that they follow Al-Shafi'e. To make sure about that let us see their beliefs to
know if they follow Al-Shafi's Beliefs or not.
 
1- They change the meaning of Allah's attributes based on the desire. But Al-Shafi as all Ahlusunnah beliefs Allah's attributes as what Allah (S.W.T) mentions them in His book and in the
Sunnah of His Messengers without any meaning's changing, exchanging, or misconstruction. Look
what Al-Habashi and his followers said about ' Al-Istiwa' " Al-rahman ala al'arsh istawa" translation "
The most Beneficent (Allah) Istawa (rose over) the mighty Throne (in a manner that suits His
Majesty) -Taha verse 5- , what they - Ahbash- said about the meaning of this word 'Istawa' they said
it means take possession of the Throne, that means there was a god before Allah , then Allah
possessed the throne from that first god, which no Muslim will believe or accept that , Ta-a'la-Allah
Oluwan Kabera. The meaning of Istawa every Muslim knows the meaning by the Fitrah, it means He (S.W.T) rose over, that set no more details such as how, because Allah (S.W.T) tells us in the
Quran about his attributes something fit with human's mind, we believe them as is, according Imam
Malik, when someone ask him about Al-Istiwa he - may Allah have mercy on him- Al-Istiwa's
meaning is known, how is unknown, believe it is obligation, and to ask about is Bed'ah, then he
asked this man to go because he is Mubtad'a.
 
2- Their Shikh said that, The Quran's word was established by Gabriel (Alih Asslam), and Quran is
not Allah's speech -look Izhar Al-Iqedah Al-Sunnyah P. 59-. Of course this idea is not new idea he
came up with it, he just follows Al-Thalal's Imams. This idea is not something simple we can forget it. Just think about that, if we said Al-Quran is not Allah's speech that means it somebody's else
speech, that means it could have some mistake. If we look at the history, where this idea come
from, and why they came up with this idea, we will notice that, they want to reject the Quran, but
they could not find any way to prove that, It is deficient or incomplete, then they came up with this
idea. When the Muslims believe that, it is not Allah's speech then it could be incomplete or it is not
perfect. Then we can change some of it while it is not perfect.
 
3- He - Al-Habashi - came up with some strange things, he said Allah is has ability on most of things - look Izhar Al-Iqedah Al-Sunnyah P. 59 -. Also, he asked the people this question, Is Allah able on him self or not?. Do you think Imam Al-Shafi believes these things or did he - may Allah have mercy on him- ask such question like what Al-Habashi did.
 
4- He -Al-Habashi- encourage people to go to the graves and appeal for aid from dead, also he
allows to seek the protection from other than Allah (look Al-Daleel Al-Qaweem P.173, Bwghyat Al-
Talib P.8, Sareeh Al-Bayan P.57-62). Also, he said Al-Awleya come from their graves to do people's needs, then they go back to their graves ! (look Khalid Kanan's tape /b/70). Also, he ask people to have Tabaruk by stone ( look Sareh Al-Byan P. 58, Ithhar Al-Aqedah Al-Sunnyah P.244). Do you think Al-Shafi does or believe these garbage.
 
5- He is Jabri, he said Allah help the Kuffars on their Kufer, if Allah did not help them they will not be
Kuffar ( look Al-Nahj Al-Saleem P. 67).
 
6- He is Murje, he said Iman is saying only without deeds, i.e. , Iman is belief only , when you
believe it is enough for you to enter Al-Jannah you do have to do any practice, he make Abu Baker
and Abu Jahel is same, because both believe Allah. Anyone believe Allah is Mu'min either he pray
or not, he does Islam's Pillars or not. (look Al-Daleel Al-Qaweem P.7, Beghyat Al-Taleb P.51).
 
7- He does not care about the Judgment by Islam or other which is against Islam, and he describe
the people who judge by human's law (against Islam) and do not like to judge by Islam, he describe
them as Muslim and Mu'min, also he allows helping them (look tape No. 318/1 side A). Also, he said any one who said at least one time in his life La Elah Ela Allah (No God but Allah) he is Muslim and Mu'min even if he does not judge the Allah's Share'ah in his life, does not do any of Allah's
commands, and does not leave Allah's prohibited. (look Al-Daleel Al-Qaweem P.9-10, Beghyat Al-
Taleb P. 51). He- Al-Habashi- said that Syed Qutub is Kafer, because he prohibit Judges to judge
between people using the human's law (against Islam).
 
8- He tries to get Shi'ah's agree by talking a lot about the Fitans which happened between
companions, and he insult Mua'wyah (R.A.A) a lot and he - Al-Habashi - made him -Mua'wyah - of
Fire's people, also he mention a lot of Shia'h's stories about Mua'wyah (R.A.A).
 
9- He - Al-Habashi - believe that, Allah created the universe and sent the Messengers without any
wisdom, because if you said that, that means you put some reasons for that, and if you put some
reasons that means you put some partner with Allah ! - Strange !! -
 
10- He -Al-Habashi- allows Al-Riba (the interest).
 
11- He allows to pray with dirty - Najasah - ( look Beghyat Al-Taleb P. 99-100).
 
12- He allows to play gambling with Kuffar, and allows to steal your neighbors if they are non
Muslim. (look Sareeh Al-Bayan P. 133)
 
13- He insult the scholars beginning with the companions especially Mua'wyah (R.A.A) ( look Ethhar Al-Aqeedah AlSunnyah P. 182). look to some of his tape like (tape No. 13/A/94) to see what he said about Shihk Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah, also, look at (Al-Magalat Al-Sunnyah P. 15, 24, 26, 57, 62, 75). Look what he said about Imam Al-Thahabi, he said he is wicked, Imam Muhammad bin
AbdulWahhab murder and Kafer (look at their Manar Al-Huda Magazine Issue 3 P.34). Shikh Syed
Sabiq is Majosi Kafir (tape No. 1/A/181). Syed Qutub is one of Al-Khawarij's heads, he is Kafir, and he is journal's communist (look Al-Nahj Al-Sawi fi Al-Rad ala Syed Qutub Wa Tabi'eh Fiysal
Muwlawi P. 3)
 
In front of that, we find Al-Habashi is defending the bad people like Ibn Arabi which all his book is
witness on his Kufir because he said something no one said it toward Allah even Jews and
Christians.
 
(Note : I forget to mention that in first part, all these information I got from Shikh Abdul-Rahman
Demashqiyyah's book about this bad group).
 
Some Of Al-Habashi's (Abdullah Al-Harari - Al-Habashi)
Fatawa ( Beliefs And Practice):
 
1- He said the first sighting on the foreign woman is allowed even if it takes too long time (look
Boghyat Al-Taleb P.224, 287). As you know the prophet S.A.W said the first sight for you and the
second is not allowed -or as what the prophet said- that means if you saw by accident a foreign
woman that would be sin but if you continue that mean it on purpose which not allowed, but see how
Al-Habashi play by the Hadeth. Also, he allowed for a woman to go out her home wearing beautiful
clothes and using a perfume for foreign people to be beautiful is their eyes(look Sareeh Al-Bayan P.186)
 
2- He made a Fitnah here in US and Canada by ordering his follower to change their Qiblah (the
direction of prayer), then they changed their Qiblah against all Muslims in US and Canada by 90
degree. Also, in Lebanon, they have different Qiblah from other Muslims there, they changed it to
the North. And they did not pray with Muslims in Muslims' Masajids.
 
3- He and his followers use magic (Al-Sher), and they used to give their followers to let them follow
them without any objection, they use some tablets for that purpose they called it promise's tablets
(Huboob Al-Ahb). Also, they have some magic paper they used for magic purpose.
Shikh Abdul-Rahman Demashqiyyah (which I got these information from his book) said one of the
Habashi people threatened me if I continue talking about them they will use magic against me, and
he (Shikh Abdul-Rahman) said Allah will protect me from them insha' Allah, Also, Allah said in the
Quran " They could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's leave" (Al-Imran verse 102).
 
4- He pretends that, he has the prophet's finger ring, and he shows it to the people, and they jump to kiss it.
 
5- They -Ahbash- sing and dance in their parties with such undress women, in spite of that, they
said Allah gives them Karamat !.
 
6- They enforce Masajids' Imam in Lebanon to let them -Ahbash- to give lessons in the Masjid, if the Imam reject that, they did not let him to make any lesson in his Masjid, and they try to talk in loudly to prevent him -Imam- to give his lesson, that why Lebanon magazine talked in one issue about this problem (look Shira magazine issue No. 574 "Fighting on Masajids in Lebanon). Some times they use gun to do what they want in any Masjid they want, for that reason - shooting by guns- some Masajids in Lebanon were closed.
 
7- They have big maestro group (music group) such as James Last, they singing and dancing with
women, and they use it to pray to Allah! because this is ??? ISLAMIC MUSIC ???. If you interest to
see them just go to any Video store in Lebanon and ask about that. Also, in their parties they sing
for the rulers in Lebanon.
 
8- Al-Habashi divides the Islamic resources to facts, Share'ah, inner (Baten), outer (thaher), he
pretends that, he gets the knowledge from Allah by some kind of knowledge its name (Al-Elm Al-
Ladoni), also, he pretends that, he meets Al-Khuder and some other Shikhs in their graves, and he
talks the promise from them!. Also, he believes that, they (the people who usually meets them) have
ability and control on the universe according to their levels, some of them hold the earth, others
knows the unseen!.
 
Did you believe these garbage?. Do not worry according to Imam Shafi "if someone become Sofi in the morning, at the noon he will become stupid, also, no one will stay with Sofis forty days and he
will lose his mind". look Tlbes Ables P. 371)
 
9- He with his followers believe Refa'ei Tareqah and try to distribute it. Do not forget that, Refa'ei
Tareqah believe as what Shieah believe in twelve Imams.
 
10- They try to trick the people in their books in so many fields and ways. For example, if look at
some of them books when they talk about some problem they mention their Shikh as old scholars,
for example they stated in one of their books " Hafiz Al-Abdali said .. etc." when read that you will
think this is a one of our very old scholar such as Hafiz Ibn Hajar or Hafiz Al-Thahabi, but the fact is
that this is one of their Shaikhs.
 
If you look at this group you will adept about them even if you do know anything about them. Look
how many great association they have in Lebanon. Also, when you look at the rulers in Lebanon you
will find them like this group and fight with it. This gives evidence of that they have some political
goal as well as beliefs goals. In these days we find that, the rulers not in Lebanon only(prime
minister, Lebanon's president, and other Christian's leaders) but in other country like Syria, Yaser
Arafat, and others, they are very concern about killing Nizar Kabani the Leader of Islamic charitable
association (one of the Habashi's associations), and they ( rulers - Muslims and Christians) work
together to find who killed Nizar Kabani. The question is that ( if we suppose Nizar Kabani is a
Muslim leader) Is this first Muslim leader (or at least Muslim) was killed. Why they really concern
about his assassination. Why the Lebanon government for the first time try to enter Palestine camps to get the person who is suspect for the assassinate. How many Muslim leader was killed and know one was care. All these questions and others give us an evidence for that the rulers know who is Habashi and they know too who will help them to break Islamic Daw'ah.
 
Al-Ahbash's Friends And Their Enemies :
Adnan Al-Trabulsi (the Habashi's substitute in Lebanon's Parliament), sa id " We are open for all
people, we invite to the opening and good moral, we are in Islamic Charitable Project disagree with
demolition Ikhwan party -his sentence in Arabic " Hezb Al-Akhwan Al-Haddam"- ( of course he
meant Al-AKhwan Al-Muslemeen ), we are not fundamentals, we are against the fundamentals
which it is looking for the chair and leadership, no for this fundamentals which judge all Arab's and
Muslim's leaders as Kuffar because they - the leaders - judge by the law without believing that the
law is better than Al-Quran". My question is that, how he (Adnan Al-Trabulsi) knew that, the Arab
and Muslims leaders do believe that? I do not know may be this is one of Al-Ahbash's beliefs (as
any Sofi) they can read the hearts!. Again I do not know!. Also, one of Habashi's candidates Taha
Naji went to Christians' cities in the North region of Lebanon to get their votes, and he got their votes after he promised them to destroy Islamic fundamentals. Unfortunately, he did not win!.
To know who is Al-Ahabashi's friend let us get some information from the ir magazine Manar Al-
Huda.
 
Islamic Charitable Projects made a party in Farasiy Palace ( look Manar Al-Huda issue No. 4 , 1993 P. 37-38), and they invited Agub Jukhrdiyan and Mieshal Adah Education's Minister (both of them are Christians as you know), and he - Adah - said " I know Islamic Charitable Projects very well, and I heard about you, in spite of that, there are a lot of associations, but you are very active, also I know Shikh Nizar Halabi, he is very gentle and may god guide him"(look Manar Al-Huda issue No. 5 P.33). Khacheek Babekeyan (Christian man) said " If this association -Islamic Charitable Projects- did what it planned to do, then the favor is due to its president, congratulation to Shikh Nizar Halabi for what he did and does for the seek of Lebanon and its people"(look at Manar Al-Huda issue No. 5 P. 33). Also, in 1994 they made similar party and they invited some of Lebanon's Christians leaders (look Manar Al-Huda issue No.17 P. 41). Also, Ausamah Al-Sayid The Islamic Charitable Projects' represent in Al-Beka' (one of Lebanon's regions) visited Eali Frzali (one of the Christian candidate), the goal of this visiting is to power the inner relation and to united the efforts and the activities between them (look Manar Al-Huda issue No. 13 P. 56). Also, Nizar Al-Halabi and Adnan Al-Trabulsi visited Nabeh Bari the Lebanon Parliament's president for the same purpose(look Manar Al-Huda issue No. 10 P. 6). Moreover, in an interview with Adnan Al-Trabulsi -the Habashi's candidate-, he confessed that, the Habashi gave their votes to the Chastens in the Lebanon's election and the Christian gave their votes (about 16000 votes) to Taha Naji (Habashi's candidate in Lebanon's north). Unfortunately, he lost ! (look Al-Afkar Magazine issue No. 531 P. 13). Also, when they (Al-Ahbash) opened Education School, they invited a lot of Christians people such as John Aubead, Salaim Habeeb, Estafan Al-Dwehi, Na'elah Mu'wad (Reneeh Mu'wad's spouse), and others Christians (look Manar Al-Huda issue 6 P. 58). Also, one of Al-Ahabash's candidate accompany with a delegation from Islamic Charitable Projects visited Waleed Jumblat ( the Durzi's leader), and he gave them $35000 to build a school.
 
There are a lot of examples that is an evidence for that, the Muslims ar e the Habashi's enemy and
the Christianity is their friends. For more information look at their magazine Manar Al-Huda as
following :
- Issue No. 6 P. 59
- Issue No. 16 P. 37
- Issue No. 15 P. 35.
- Issue No. 7 P. 67.
- Issue No. 12 P. 35-39.
- Issue No. 2 P.59
- Issue No. 13 P. 58-59.
- Issue No. 1 P. 31-34.
- Issue No. 2 P. 16 , 32-34, 65-66
- Issue No. 9 P. 7, 14, 20-21, 45-46.
- and others ( if someone is interested I can give him more)
 
Now we knew that, they have very good special relationship with NON Muslims. Moreover, they
invite them to their parties and give them unlimited respecting. After we knew that, let us recall what
I presented in first part of these articles. What they said about Imam Ibn Tymmiyyah, Imam Al-
Thahabi, Shikh Al-Albani, Shikh Ibn Baz, Shikh Sayed Sabeq, Islamic thinker Syed Qutub, some of
Lebanon's Scholars (which I mentioned their names before), Al-Akhwan Al-Muslimeen, and others.
When we recall that, we can have simple comparison between two actions ( what they did with NON-Muslim and what they did with Muslims' SCHOLAR). Now, we know who is their friends and who is their enemies.
 
Islamic Or Arabic Nationality
To know what Al-ahbash believe in this issue let us go to their leaders to see what they said about
that issue.
 
Adnan Al-Trabulsi ( Habashi's candidate) "It is allowed to be there a pe ace with Jews, but our
request is that we are as ARAB nation do have rights, we request them under ARAB agreement,
and I am without any guarded supporting that agreement" (look Al-Shira'a magazine 09/07/1992 and Al-Afkar magazine 09/26/1992). Husam krkera -the Islamic Charitable Projects' vice president- said in an interview with Al-Safeer magazine (10/19/1992) " We are with ARAB agreement, when the ARAB agree to stop fighting the Jews, we are with that agreement" . Nizar Al-Halabi (the former
Islamic Charitable Projects' president ) said " Our candidate Dr. Adnan Trabulsi by the God's care
won and reach the Parliament to arise with national good brothers the Lebanon's ARABIC
identification". From these quotations we find that, When they talk about Palestine's problem or
fighting the Jews, they make it as Arabic problem and they talk under Arab's umbrella. You know
why?, if you just go back and look what I mentioned about their friends you will get the idea, it is
very clear, if they talk about Islam or Islamic agreement for this problem, what will happen for their
friends, they will be kicked out from this problem (as you know, because they are Christians) and Al-Ahbash does not like to work with their enemy (as you know Muslims) in this problem. When they
(Al-Ahbash) thought a little bit about they found that, they and all Lebanon's Christians are ARAB,
then the solution is to restrict the speech under ARAB umbrella. Moreover, do not forget that, the
Arabic nationality originally came form Lebanon's Christians, then the Habashi's people should
respect all Christians' ideas!.

[chottala.com] Katie Couric's Notebook: Mosque Near Ground Zero



Katie Couric's Notebook: Mosque Near Ground Zero

Among the protesters near Ground Zero this weekend - a woman held a sign that read "Unmask the Mosque." It had a cartoon sketch of President Obama on it - and the implied message needed no interpretation. In speaking out about an Islamic group's right to build a center there, the President had given another shred of evidence to a growing conspiracy theory that he is Muslim. He is not.

The Pew Research Center found 18 percent of Americans believe that...and a whopping 43 percent are not sure what religion he is. For the record he's Christian.

It might be Islamophobia, Obamaphobia, or both...but when loud speakers are blaring "Born in the USA" and signs say "No Clubhouse for Terrorists" it's clear we aren't just talking about a mosque anymore.

There is a debate to be had about the sensitivity of building this center so close to Ground Zero.

But we can not let fear and rage tear down the towers of our core American values.

That's a page from my notebook.

I'm Katie Couric, CBS News.

[chottala.com] Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul Backs "Ground Zero Mosque,"



Ron Paul Backs "Ground Zero Mosque," Splitting with Son Rand

Ron Paul

(Credit: Carlos Osorio)

Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul is breaking with many of his fellow Republicans - among them his son Rand - to support the creation of the planned Islamic cultural center near the former site of the World Trade Center that has come to be known as the "ground zero mosque."

In a statement decrying "demagogy" around the issue, the former Republican presidential candidate wrote late last week that "the debate should have provided the conservative defenders of property rights with a perfect example of how the right to own property also protects the 1st Amendment rights of assembly and religion by supporting the building of the mosque."

"Instead, we hear lip service given to the property rights position while demanding that the need to be 'sensitive' requires an all-out assault on the building of a mosque, several blocks from 'ground zero,'" Paul continues.

He goes on to argue that "the neo-conservatives who demand continual war in the Middle East and Central Asia...never miss a chance to use hatred toward Muslims to rally support for the ill conceived preventative wars."

Adds Paul: "It is repeatedly said that 64% of the people, after listening to the political demagogues, don't want the mosque to be built. What would we do if 75% of the people insist that no more Catholic churches be built in New York City? The point being is that majorities can become oppressors of minority rights as well as individual dictators."

"This is all about hate and Islamaphobia," he argues.

The statement is particularly notable in light of comments on the issue by Paul's son, Kentucky Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul. Rand Paul has said that while he is hesitant to get involved in a local issue, he does not believe the cultural center should be built; "the Muslim community would better serve the healing process by making a donation to the memorial fund for the victims of September 11th," he said.

(By the way, Paul's Democratic opponent in the Senate race, Jack Conway, also opposes the center.)

Rand Paul got in trouble early in his general election campaign for staking out typically-Libertarian positions, most notably in questioning parts of the Civil Rights Act and Americans with Disabilities Act. He subsequently adopted more traditionally-Republican rhetoric and declined to embrace his father's full-throated opposition to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, among other causes important to many libertarians.

    "So we are serving India instead of our country…………. "-   Mujibur Rahman <mujib_071@yahoo.com> wrote ....... 

    Really .........?
     
    The deals for supply of natural gas  were made in July -September 2005
    when Mahmudur Rahman was the Adviser of the Energy Ministry and
    M Morshed Khan was the Foreign Minister during Khaleda Zia's regime.
    http://newsfrombangladesh.net/view.php?hidRecord=55055
    The Bangladesh government had agreed to allow India to use natural gas from
    Bangladesh for this power plant project, for which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had laid the foundation stone in October 2005.
     
    Understandably, the viability of any power plant project is fully dependent
    on the fuel supply, that is natural gas from Bangladesh in this case.
    [Khaleda Zia's government gave the assurance for the supply of
    natural gas to India's ONGC in 2005, was a key factor in
    selecting the power plant location near the Bangladesh border]
     
    This power plant could very well be mutually beneficial for both
    countries because:
                 (1) Bangladesh will get fair price for the gas
                 (2) Bangladesh will be allowed to buy power generated by
                      that plant.
     
    [Import of electricity from Canada is an important feature for the Power grids in northeast USA]
     
    BTW, mutually beneficial regional co-operation is a key factor for progress in
    today's world ...
