Doctrines compared between Al-Ahbash and to mainstream sunni Muslims

Article of faith Mainstream Islamic belief Al-Ahbash belief
Tawheed (Monotheism) The belief of the Muslims, as indicated by the verses of the Qur’aan, the ahaadeeth of the Prophet (SAW), sound human nature and clear common sense is that Allaah is above His creation, over His Throne, and nothing at all of His creatures’ affairs is hidden from Him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “and then He rose over (Istawaa) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty)”. [al-A’raaf 7:54] – this phrase appears seven times in the Qura’aan. And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “To Him ascend (all) the goodly words, and the righteous deeds exalt it (i.e. the goodly words are not accepted by Allaah unless and until they are followed by good deeds)” [Faatir 35:10] “And He is the Most High, the Most Great” [al-Baqarah 2:255] “Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High” [al-A’laa 87:1] “And to Allaah prostrate all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, of the moving (living) creatures and the angels, and they are not proud [i.e. they worship their Lord (Allaah) with humility]. They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded” [al-Nahl 16:49-50] Ibn Taymiyah attacked Ibn e Arabi, the famous Sufi that claimed for the first time that Allah exists everywhere and he claimed that Allah and his creations are the same thing. That is clearly in contradiction to Quran and Sunnah and to the understanding of the Companions (Qur'an 67:16). Ibn Taymiyah declared him a Kafir (non-Muslim) because he attributed to Allah something that we were never told, and that is Kufr by the agreement of the Sunni Muslims [6] Muslims can never believe or claim Allah has created the universe and sent the Messengers to humans for no purpose or wisdom and never entertain such heretical believes and believe that whoever attributes any of Allah's actions to the Divine Wisdom is a mushrik.[8] Al Shafi or any sunni school never came up with the idea that - Is Allah able on him self or not?.Nor can they entertain such idea. They deny that Allaah is above His creation.[5] Ibn e Arabi, the famous Sufi claimed for the first time that Allah exists everywhere and he claimed that Allah and his creations are the same thing.Here ahbashi’s follow ibn e Arabi. They claim that Allah has created the universe and sent the Messengers to humans for no purpose or wisdom. [7] Al-Habashi also 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?. 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).
The Attributes to Allah Al-Shafi as all Ahlu-sunnah 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. This is the consensus of the Muslims, from the Sahaabah and Taabi’een to those who follow their path until the present day that it is obligatory to believe in what is stated in the texts about the Names and attributes of Allaah, without distorting the meanings, denying any of His attributes, discussing the hows and whys or likening any of Allaah’s attributes to human attributes. They (the Muslims) believe that there is none like unto Allaah and He is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing; they do not deny any of the attributes with which He has described himself. They do not change the words from their (right) places or belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names or signs. They do not discuss the nature of His attributes, or liken His attributes to the attributes of His creation, because there is nothing that can be compared to Him, and He has no equal or rival. Imaam al-Shaafa'i (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “I believe in Allaah and in what has come from Allaah as Allaah meant it. I believe in the Messenger of Allaah and in what has come from the Messenger of Allaah as the Messenger of Allaah meant it.” Imaam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “We believe in it; we do not reject anything that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, and we do not describe Allaah with more than He has described Himself.”[3] 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. [4] They think that it is obligatory to interpret the texts of the Qur’aan and Sunnah which speak of the attributes of Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted (i.e., to understand them differently from the apparent meaning.[1] They change the meaning of Allah's attributes based on the desire. 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[2].
Totality of the Quran “They want to change Allaah’s Words. Say: ‘You shall not follow us; thus Allaah has said beforehand.’” [al-Fath 48:15] this ayat clearly states that Quran is the word of Allah. Any sunni school of thought never claimed that Quran is not the word of Allah but of Gabriel(Alih Asslam). Imaam al-Shaafa'i (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “I believe in Allaah and in what has come from Allaah as Allaah meant it. I believe in the Messenger of Allaah and in what has come from the Messenger of Allaah as the Messenger of Allaah meant it.” Imaam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “We believe in it; we do not reject anything that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, and we do not describe Allaah with more than He has described Himself.”[9] Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal spent several years in the jails of Bani al-Abbas because of his stand against the deviant mutazillah when they claimed that the text of Quran was uttered by Gabriel not by Allah [10] Al-Habashi 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.
Seeking help from the Dead Quran regarding worshipping graves, dead people and any thing besides Allah explicitly says “And they worship besides Allaah things that harm them not, nor profit them, and they say: 'These are our intercessors with Allaah'" [Yoonus 10:18] “Verily, We have sent down the Book to you (O Muhammad) in truth. So worship Allaah (Alone) by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allaah’s sake only. Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allaah only. And those who take Auliyaa’ (protectors, helpers, lords, gods) besides Him (say): ‘We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allaah.’ Verily, Allaah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allaah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever” [al-Zumar 39:2-3] “And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism, i.e. worshipping others besides Allaah), and the religion (worship) will all be for Allaah Alone” [al-Anfaal 8:39]. Al-Shafi or even any Sunni school of thought does not claim or believe in the things which are explicitly against Quran. 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 b70). Also, he ask people to have Tabaruk by stone (look Sareh Al-Byan P. 58, Ithhar Al-Aqedah Al-Sunnyah P.244).
Iman / Deen (Practicing one's Faith with Intentions, Deeds and Actions) Quran itself is very explicit on this matter. So all Sunni schools and even Shia believe in that iman is not only saying but believing and practicing in true Spirit of Quran and sunnah. Otherwise a person cant be true momin. In the words of Imaam al-Shaafa'i (may Allaah have mercy on him): “Among the consensus of the Sahaabah and the Taabi’een and those who came after them, and those whom we have met, is that they say: faith is words, actions and intentions; one of these three will not be complete without the others.” Thus iman is not only saying but believing n practicing in true Spirit of Quran and sunnah. Otherwise a person cant be true momin. It is known that the belief of the Muslims, which was that followed by the Sahaabah, the Taabi’een and those who follow their path until the present day, is that faith (eemaan) is the matter of words spoken by the tongue, beliefs held in the heart and actions done by the body. Belief must be accompanied by submission to the laws of Islam, otherwise that so-called faith is not valid.[12] He is Murje, Concerning creed, they follow the condemned school of Irja'.[11] 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).
Superiority of Divine Law over Man-made Law No Sunni school of thought can ever claim that human law is equal to or superior to laws laid by Quran and Sunnah. 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).
Respecting the Prophet's Companions “And those who came after them say: Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful.” [al-Hashr 59:10] This is the sound belief concerning the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). This is the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah throughout the centuries. Imaam Abu Ja’faar al-Tahhaawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, explaining the beliefs of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah: “We love the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), but we do not go to extremes in our love for any of them, and we do not disown any of them. We hate those who hate them, and we do not say anything but good about them (the companions). Love for them is true religion, faith and goodness; hatred for them is kufr, hypocrisy and transgression.”[14] It is confirmed that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not abuse my Companions for if any one of you spent gold equal to Mountain Uhud (in Allah's Cause) it would not be equal to a mudd or even a half mudd spent by one of them."? Allah Almighty says: “And those who came (into the faith) after them say: Our Lord Forgive us and our brethren who were before us in the faith, and place not in our hearts any rancor toward those who believe. Our Lord! Thou art Full of Pity, Mercifl.” (Al-Hashr: 10) [15] Although claiming to be the follower of al shafi school of thought he tries to get Shi'ah's agree by talking a lot about the fightings(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). They abuse the Prophet’s Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) particularly Mu`awiyah, `A'ishah, Khalid ibn al-Walid. They declared that Mu`awayh (may Allah be pleased with him) was not a true believer. In such case, they are similar to the Rafidah who also insult the Prophet’s Companions. [Muslims must abstain from discussing the relationship between the Prophet’s Companions and their disagreements. They must also recognize their role in promoting Islam and their being privileged with the Companionship of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).[13]
Takfeer (Excommunication of the Followers of Islam) Al-Shafi and other founders of the rest of three sunni schools never insulted each other. They respected the difference of opinion among themselves. The Prophet (s) said "whoever calls a Muslim a kaafir, he is a kaafir." This is borne out in the following three hadiths. The Prophet (s) said, as narrated in Bukhari and Muslim by Ibn Mas'ud, "to curse a Muslim is corruption and to fight him is apostasy." He said in another hadith related by Abdullah ibn 'Umar in Tabarani, that the Prophet (s) said, "leave alone the people who say there is no deity except Allah, don't call them unbelievers if they did something that in your eyes is a sin, for whoever says that they are unbelievers, he is the one nearer to unbelief." Anas ibn Malik related from the Prophet (s) "the origin of faith is threefold: to leave alone those who say there is no deity but God alone, not to call him an unbeliever because of a sin, and not to bring him out of Islam. [Abu Dawud.] "The Prophet (s) said, "you must follow the majority of Muslims." The majority of Muslims are following these three hadiths and avoid accusing anyone of kufr and unbelief, except "Abdullah Habashi" and his followers who proved with their believes that they are non muslims. [17] He not only 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(follower of hanbal school of thought,), 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 (follower of hanbal school of thought,)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 this way they wanted to turn people away from the scholars who have deep knowledge, and put people off from reading their books or referring to the reports transmitted from them, include: slandering them, belittling them and undermining them, and even denouncing them as kaafirs.[16] Anyone is considered an unbeliever unless they take initiation with their shaykh. Everyone else is considered kaafir. 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 Shykhs 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!. [22]
Presumptious Superiority of Al-Ahbash' Religious Decress over Quran and Sunnah Imam Shafi never claim that his Fatwas are above Quran and Sunnah. Instead all Sunni imams including Al Shafi claimed that their Fatwas should be considered null and void if they contradicts Quran and Sunnah. “And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers’ way, We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell — what an evil destination!” [al-Nisaa’ 4:115] He -Al-Habashi calls for the revival of the approaches of the advocates of the science of Kalam (theology), Sufis, and the Batiniyyah (hidden religion). The Batiniyyah (Ismaili shites)believe that Quranic texts have a hidden mending, and that there is a knowledge of the unseen, that only the Ismaili scholars can know about. That is known as Batiniyah[18]
Interest According to Quran, Interest is not allowed in any condition. One of the most flagrant violations of this sect is their issuing of wrong fatwas that contradict the Qur'an and the Sunnah. For instance, He, Al-Habashi, allows Al-Riba (the interest) and they consider it permissible to deal in Riba (interest) with non-Muslims, and to join lottery games. (Al-Ahbash: Evolution and Beliefs)
Uncleanness According to Quran, Salat or prayer is not allowed in the state of uncleanness. He allows to pray with dirty - Najasah - (look Beghyat Al-Taleb P. 99-100).
Gambling According to Quran, gambling is not allowed in any condition. He allows playing gambling with Kuffar, and allows stealing your neighbors if they are non Muslim. (look Sareeh Al-Bayan P. 133) [18] Al-Habashi considers gambling with non-believers permissible in order to take away their money as long as this does not lead to sedition. They consider robbing the harvest and the cattle of non-believers and permissible. [20]
Intermingling of Men and Women According to Quran, intermigling of men and women is not allowed. One of their most obvious violations to the principles of Islam is their declaration that it is permissible to look lustfully at women, on television or elsewhere, and also that intermingling between men and women without any restrictions is permissible. He said the first sighting on the foreign woman is allowed even if it takes too long time (look Beghyat Al-Taleb P.224, 287)[21]
Un-Islamic Religious Decrees (Fatwas) According to mainstream Sunni scholars, Al-Ahbash continue to follow unislamic Fatwas. FOR EXAMPLE: They marry only within their group. They trade, buying and selling only among themselves.[23] They gave a fatwa that a man can sleep with any woman that is not a member of their group, because she will be considered jaariya, as they consider themselves at war with those who do not follow them. They are even permitted to use force for this purpose, thereby condoning rape. [24] They destroyed families by demanding that wives leave husbands and husbands leave wives, based on their claim that if one spouse took initiation with the so-called "Habashi," he or she must leave the other, unless the other spouse also take initiation. By this means, they have broken up thousands of families, in Lebanon, Europe, in America where they have some small groups. [25] They have given a fatwa to the effect that wives forcibly separated from their husbands, remarry, though they are still considered married by sharia; moreover they force them to remarry one of the members of their group.[26] They gave a fatwa that as long as the woman is covering her head, she can go swimming in a one-piece bathing suit or bikini, even in front of strange men. Their special beaches are infamous in Lebanon[27]. They say that women can go in front of any man wearing all types of cosmetics, fragrances, eyelashes, rouge and makeup, and wearing tight trousers and alluring clothes, as long as she is covering her head. they say that for a man to look at any part of a woman who is not permissible for him is not haraam[28] Now they are finally studying the possiblity of a fatwa to allow mut'ah to take place.[29] 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. [30] They permitted mufakhadha, which means a man may sleep and commit any sexual act with other than his wife, as long as no penetration occurs.[31] Al-Habashi pretends that, he has the prophet's finger ring, and he shows it to the people, and they jump to kiss it. [32] They -Ahbash- sing and dance in their parties with such undress women, in spite of that, they said Allah gives them Karamat [33] They enforce Masajids` Imam in Lebanon to let them -Ahbash- to give lessons in the Masjid (look Shira magazine issue No. 574 Fighting on Masajids in Lebanon). Al-Habashi made a Fitnah in US and Canada and Japan 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. [34] 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.[35] These are some examples of their weird fatwas that clearly contradict Shari`ah and consider all grave sins as permissible practices and they have permitted their followers to do which is contrary to Islam.

Mainstream Muslims' Tawheed vs. Al-Ahbashs' Tawheed (Differences)

Mainstream Muslims' Tawheed

Tawheed, usually defined as the unity of Allah or His oneness, is actually a term which means the process of repeatedly singling out Allah. The issue had arisen where people lost the concept of tawheed, and in fact, the popular mistranslation of the word tawheed is a result of this misunderstanding. It became necessary to explain tawheed in detail, to discuss its rules and principles etc. The reasons for this were may, however the overriding factor was that Islam had spread all over the world an deach society that accepted added more deviant concepts about Allah and worshipping Him. So, the concept is explained:

Tawheed al-Ruboobiyyah

The act of singling out Allah in all aspects of Lordship.

Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah (or Tawheed al-'Ibaadah)

The act of singling our Allah as the only diety, the only god, the only one who is in reality divine. It is the act of singling Him out for worship.

Tawheed al-Asmaa wal Sifat

It is the act of singling out Allah with all of His Beautiful names and Majestic Attributes, without denial of any of them, without likening them to anything, without claiming a similarity for them, and without distorting either their meanings or their actual wordings.

This has lead to the scholars to further state that terminology which has not been used to describe Allah either by Allah Himself, or His Messenger may not be utilized to describe Allah. Why? Because many words contain misleading or unclear meanings behind them, and it does not befit Allah who best knows Himself, that we describe Him with descriptions that He did not use, nor His Messenger. We also refrain from denying specific things from Allah if they have not been denied from Him. This is, as well, because in order to be sure of how. So were an individual to claim that Allah does not have this or that etc. and these things being specifically denied were not denied by Him T'ala or His Prophet then we may not deny them. It is not permissible to estimate Allah as how He should be based upon human understanding. It is only allowed that we claim what He has claimed, or what His Messenger has informed us reaching us by way of authentic narration.

So, the above method of understanding and implementing tawheed must be utilized completely in order for one's tawheed to be acceptable. If one of the categories above is missing, then this person does not have the correct creed, and he is not properly worshipping Allah alone. Some scholars have revised the above principles so that they utilize two instead of three, and they explain it as Tawheed al-Asmaa wal Sifat, including all of the Names and Attributes, as well as the characteristics of Lordship, and Tawheed al-'Ibaadah. This, too, is a beneficial approach for the subject.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Al-Habashi's tawheed is divided into three principles or categories:

1. The denial of the proper concept that Allah's Essence [dhat - Essence] has many qualities, and his (Habashi) false interpretation of the words al-Ahad and al-Samad

2. The denial of any similarity to Allah in His [dhat - Essence] Essence and attributes

3. Allah is alone creating, originating and maintaining. So, there is no contributor in inventing, manufacturing, and sustaining the invented things.


The First Category


The denial of the proper concept that Allah's Essence [dhat - Essence] has many characteristics.

We know that the source for this principle is Plato, for it was he who said,

"The many is not found in Him at all, as the idea of assembly does not relate to Him under any circumstances. Therefore, He is simply one in Himself."

Then he says,

"And because He is one from every angle, you cannot describe Him with a description that implies numerous substance."

Al-Habashi's source for this first principle is purely Platonic. Though, he did not copy it immediately from Plato, perhaps, he copied it from the books of the philosophers and the people of kalaam who studied Plato, Aristotle and others. Like Faraaby, Ibn Seena, Ibn al-Rumi, Ibn Rushid, Juwainy .etc

Here, elucidating the influence that the Greek Philosophers had over them is the saying of al-Faraaby,

"The Inevitable Existence cannot be divided with divisions of quantity or meaning, otherwise each part of it's division must have it's own existence, so inevitably there are many esisting." (Source "Fusuws al-Hikam by Farrabiy. Inevitable Existence: 'al-waajib-alwujoob' ; This is one of the few terms from Ilm al-Kalaam which is used in this book. It is used in quotations of philosophers. It is the Greek Philosophical concept of Sustainer or Lord. It is the concept of that which must exist; which controls the existence.)

and the saying of Ibn Seena,

"The Inevitable Existence does not divide in meaning or quantity." (Source: Al-Ishaaraat - by Ibn Seena)

This verfies that al-Habashi wants to strip away the attributes in order to confirm Allah's Essence [dhat - Essence] and that it disturbs him that the Essence [dhat - Essence] which is ONE could possess more than one quality.

Bu al-Habashi neglected the fact that this is Palto's theory, who was so excessive in his theory that he would not describe Allah with His many correct qualities. Yet he described Allah [with an additional quality] as khair [good] even theough he attempted to avoid describing Allah with a description implying many qualities in His Essence [dhat - Essence]. Plato, according to his own views says,

"We do not describe Him as a substance or with appearance because the substance and appearance are relative things. So, describing Him as a substance demands the imagination to picture the appearance or design along with it. Because the imagination does not stop simply at picturing it as a substance only rather it goes on to picture it's parts as well and that is the design which without a doubt must have and abundance of contents."

The reader may notice that this is from the sayings of the Greek Philosophers; the knowledge of reason which drove many groups like the Jahmiyya, the Mu'tazila, the Haruriya, and others to deny the attributes of Allah. They stated their argument as Plato had; that describing Allah with something will lead to many things, which in itself denies the ONENESS of Allah.

Furthermore, he who theorized this principle is the same who 'assigned' the attribut of khair [good] to Allah [after being excessive in his theory that ONE cannot be described with more than one characteristic] and this is a contradiction and it amounts to nothing less than hesitation [in affirming Allah's attributes] and no rational Muslim believes that Allah accepts the philosophical principles, ideas or ways. For what Muhammad was sent with was enough, and in the opinion of those Greek Philosophers, no one truly knows these things but Allah. Yet their words cam from other than Him.

This brings us to al-Habashi's interpretation of al-Ahad, the One. That is, that [something that is one] cannot have a description or division in its essence [dhat - Essence] and there are no parts in it as Allah T'ala said, al-Ahad, al-Samad. However, you will not find that something which is described with characteristics cannot be called Ahad in the Arabic language. Contrarily it is proven that Ahad is a description of the creatures in the Qur'an as Allah T'ala said,

"And if one [Ahad] of the idolators seek protection from you..." [Tawaba: 6]

"An not join any one [Ahadan] in the service of his Lord." [Kahf: 110]

"Leave Me and him whom [Created alone [Waheedan]." [Mudathir: 11]

Reference to people as alone/one or Ahad is made in these verses and these creatures are described with descriptions that befit them. Therefore, how is it correct that something which is Ahad cannot be described or divided? If al-Habashi's assertion was correct then Allah would not describe the creatures with Ahad. Yet these creatures are described with appearance, substance and with many attributes which lead to many qualities (as they calim).

It is known that Allah quotes the believer saying,

"...and I do not associate anyone [Ahadan] with my Lord." [Kahf: 38]

So, if none can be described as Ahad "One" except Allah (as there is no attribute for Him which denies His Onenees) and Allah has described His creatures with it, and they have many qualities in them -- then this concept of al-Habashi is baseless. For this reason Ahad serves as a witness falsifying al-Habashi's explanation of tawheed.

Here then, al-Habashi is disproven from three directions:

1. The Qur'an. For the Qur'an has been revealed i the pure Arabic language which does utilize the term Ahad to name something which has various characteristics and qualities. This proves that using this description is known to the Arabs and is acceptable in the language.

2. The Arabic language. Because it is not a rule in the language that a thing cannot be caleld Ahad simply because it can be described or divided.

3. The Greek Philosophers and Plato. Because these it is who forbade refering to Allah with attributes that would "increase" His unity, and then described Allah as khair [good].


The Second Category


The Second category of tawheed according to al-Habashi is the negation of any similarity to Allah in His Essence [dhat - Essence] and His Attributes.

There is no difference between us and al-Habashi in that Allah's Essence [dhat - Essence] is not similar to any of His creatures, and that His attributes are not like those describing the creatures. However, concerning the attributes it is important to clarify the following:

No sane Muslim would assert that Allah's Attributes were in reality similar to those of His creatures. Just as it is true that Allah's Essence [dhat - Essence] is not like that of His creatures. Allah has said,

There is nothing like Him." [Shura: 11]

So, His Attributes are not like that of His creation. The similarity is in the word describing the attribute, not in its reality...

And this is distinguished by His sayings;

"There is nothing like Him." [Shura: 11]

"None is comparable to Him." [Ikhlas: 4]

"Do you know any one who is called by His name?" [Maryam: 65]

Yet Allah has described Himself with the words, Sameea [Hearing] Baseera [Seeing] while describing humans with the words hearing, seeing through seeing and hearing for humans is not like that of the Creator.

Allah has described Himself with the term Raouf [kind] Raheem [Merciful]

"Indeed Allah is kin, merciful with the people." [Baqarah: 143]

and He has said abou the Messenger [Muhammad],

"With the believers (he is) kind, merciful." [Tawbah: 128]

But the Prophet's mercy is not like Allah's Mercy.

So, denying similarity between the attributes of created things and the Attributes of Allah is in fact denying a similarity in the reality of these attributes not their terms. Because utilizing similar terms for both Creator and the created is normal and has been proven, whereas utilizing the reality of similar terms for both the Creator and the created is false and incorrect.

"There is nothing like Him." [Shura: 11]

Using similar terms for reference is proven in the Book, but it is not proven in the sense of having a common reality. So, similarity does not exist between the reality of Allah's attributes and those of His creatures.

Contrarily, one finds the opposite in Allah's book - that is - one finds many verses proving that it is not possible to find any similarity at all between Allah and His creatures in any of His Attributes.

An example is the Attributes of power in Allah's Book about which He Azza wa Jalla said:

"Indeed, Allah has power over all things." [Baqarah: 20]

"Surely, your Lord makes plentiful the means of sustenance for whom He pleases and strengthens them." [Israa': 30]

and compare it with the power that is possessed by Hi creation as He says,

"Except for those who repent before you gain power over them..." [Ma'idah: 34]

"...and (He) adds force to your stength." [Hud: 52]

Then read His saying,

"Allah is He who created you weak, and then after your weakness He made you strong, and then after your strength He made you weak and gray haird." [Ruwm: 54]

Then it is clearly proven that there is no comparison between the attribute of Allah and that of the creatures. But simply because the words are the same, it does not imply that the reality behind the meanings are the same. This is all the more clear when there is a verse in Allah's Book which forbids a common reality in the meaning of these attributes.

"There is nothing like Him." [Shura: 11]

So, if al-Habashi says that there is nothing comparable to Allah, then this is true, and if he says that nothing is comparable to His attributes, this is also true, and that we are looking for. However, that does not mean that one should deny an attribute of Allah simply because one finds that word in Allah's Book describing one of His creatures. As Allah T'ala said,

"Indeed, Allah hears and sees [everything]." [Nisaa': 58]

and He T'ala said about man,

"And We gave him hearing and sight." [Insan: 2] (Translator's Note: One must take note here, the Arabic descriptions are the same in both verses, although, we have translated them differently due to the preceding words and the context.)

It does not befit Allah to describe Himself as 'hearing', seeing' and then to describe the human as 'hearing, seeing' as if the two attributes were the same in each case. But we see the human and we know how he sees and hears but as for Allah - "There is nothing like Him" - so nothing will cause us to compare Him to His creatures - even - if the word attributed is the same. For the sole reason that similarity is in the word, not in its reality. Otherwise there would be no reaon for Him T'ala to say, "There is nothing like Him," and it would be just a verse being recited with no use for it in this chapter. But no mind would think that Allah is like any of His creatures in their true characteristics. The only common thing between the descriptions of Allah and His creatures is the word which is used for the description. In order to confirm the characteristics of Lordship in all of what is attributed to Allah, we have what is common between Him and His creatures, for if this common pronunciation in the attributes did not exist, then we would have no idea what the attributes of Divinity meant. Just as there is no proof that Allah's Essence [dhat - Essence] is like any other essence, and Allah's Existence does not mean that He Exists like others, it is the same concerning the attributes - they are not similar to the attributes of the creatures.

So, Allah Exists and the creatures exists and there is no comparison in this existence. Therefore, if we confirm Istawa' [Ascension] and Nuzool [descending] and Majee'ya [Coming] to Allah, this does not mean the ascending, descending, or coming of the creatures. This is the same if we confirm Hand, the Face, the Eyes... it does not mean the same hands, face or eyes of the creatures. So, according to al-Habashi, it is a must to withhold the attributes of Allah and their interpretation. Because confirming to him equals similarity. So, he combines most of the attributes ino the following:

  • - Hearing;
  • - Seeing;
  • - Power;
  • - Intent;
  • - Speech;
  • - Knowledge;
  • - Life;
  • - Existence;
  • - Everliving;
  • - Eternal;
  • - Oneness

Te remaining attributes are combined by al-Habashi into innovated attributes such as:

  • - Mukhalifat lil Hawadath (Not an Event) - This is another of the Ilm al-Kalam terms. It refers to the concept of something which does not do anything, or does not move, or does not change, or is unaffected .etc; it also implies one who has no parts. Al-Habashi attributes it to Allah as do many of the Mutakalimoon and their like. Stating that Allah will be seen on the Day of Resurrection without him being, "...short, long, light, dark, not moving, moving, and touching anything." (As quoted in al-Habashi's followers in their "Izhar Al-Iqedah Al-Sunnyah" - The Authentic Beliefs of Ahlus-Sunnah - Ahbash). It is a Greek philosophical attributes of the divine.

and

  • - Qiyaam binafs (Self-subsisting / Self-sustaining) - Another of the Ilm al-Kalam terms used by al-Habashi to describe Allah. It is used to imply, "Self sustaining." However, attesting to the implied concept has lead its inventors to claim that Allah will be seen on the Day of Resurrection without Him being, "...standing up, sitting on, leaning against, attatched to, unattatched to, seperated from, in front of, in the back of [anything]." (As quoted by al-Habashi's followers in their "Izhar Al-Iqedah Al-Sunnyah" - The Authentic Beliefs of Ahlus-Sunnah - Ahbash).

Regardless of the fact that Allah has clearly described Himself with Istawa' [Ascension] and Nuzool [descending] and Majee'ya [Coming], according to al-Habashi, the attributes of Istawa' [Ascension] and Nuzool [descending] and Majee'ya [Coming] are anthropomorphized by the imagination. Other than this, according to him, they do not have to be spoken of. Yet, al-Habashi does not believe that the seeing attribute causes the imagination to make similarity, so here he contradicts himself.

As for the remaining known attributes, he has combined them as we discovered before, even though Allah Subhannahu wa T'ala has specifically mentioned them concerning Himself. So, where then is the benefit is combining or abbreviating them?

This is why we say that tawheed, according to al-Habashi, equals T'ateel [Denial / Denying]. And the solution for all of this is,

"There is nothing like Him, and He is the [All] Hearing, the [All] Seeing." [Shura: 11]

The first part of this verse is the cure for the filth of tashbeeh [Anthropomorphism] - "...Nothing like Him". The second part is the cure for the desease of T'ateel [Denial / Denying] - "...and He is the Hearing, the Seeing". Only by this method is tawheed of Allah perfected.


The Third Category


The third category tawheed according to al-Habashi is stated by him as,

"Allah is unique in creating, originating and organizing, so there is no contribution in inventing, manufacturing, or organizing the invented things."

No one disagrees with al-Habashi that Allah doesn't have any partners or associates in manufacturing or organizing creations. Even the idolaters agree with that. They are aware that Allah is the Creator, the Sustainer, the One who gives life and death, and they don't believe that anyone is a partner with Him in His Creating. This is well-known from the Book of Allah T'ala, Allah said,

"And if you ask them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth and made the sun and the moon subservient?' they will certainly say, 'Allah'." [Ankboot: 61]

"And if you ask them, 'Who sends down water from the sky, then gives life to the earth after it were dead?' They will certainly say, 'Allah'." [Ankbooth: 63]

"And if you ask them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' they would most certainly say, "'The Might, Knowing One has created them'." [Zukhruf: 9]

So, they didn't claim that their idols were partners to Allah in organizing, creating, sustaining, and giving life or death. But the idolators' argument for worshiping the idols was their claim,

"We only worship them to bring us nearer to Allah." [Zumar: 3]

The reason that they worshipped the idols was not because they thought that they created and sustained, and the proof for that is that if they were asked who created the heavens and the earth and gave life to the earth after its death they would say, "Allah" they did not say, "Allah, and our gods." Yet, this still wasn't enough for their tawheed to be correct, for if it was sufficient, the Prophet Muhammad would have left them alone with their idols. The idolators themselves know that their gods don't hear, benefit or harm them, and this is Ibrahim's argument against them when He asked them,

"He said; Do they hear you when you call, or can they benefit or harm you?" [Sha'ara: 72]

And the idolators knew that if they answered no, then it would be an argument against them, and if they answered yes, then it would be a proof that they were lying, and that is what made them excuse themselves from answering this question by saying,

"We found our fathers doing this." [Sh'ara: 74]

Likewise, the Quraish did not deny the portion of Muhammad's message, which stated that one Lord gives life and death, creates and sustains .etc. But they denied what they thought was his implication; that all of their gods were really only one god. They said,

"Did he make all of the gods just one god; this is surely a strange thing." [Saad: 5]

Most of the idolators admit that all of the partners they claim for Allah belong to Him. All belong to the creator of this World, Allah Glorious is He. It is known that when they would encircle the K'aba the idolators would say, "We obey You, No partner have You, except a partner for You, You own him and that which he owns." Abd al-Muttalib told Abraha, "The House has a Lord to protect it." This was when Abraha wanted to destroy the house of Allah. Abd al-Muttalib also said, "This is the house of Allah and his friend Ibrahim, so if He kept you away, that would be because it is His House." (Source: "Tahdheeb al-Seerat al-Nubuwiyya" by Ibn Hishaam) This, then, is a proof as Allah said,

"And you forget those who you associated..." [An'am: 41]

When the idolators are in trouble or hardship they forget the gods whom they associated with Allah and when the trouble ceases, by Allah's Will, they forget again, and they associate partners with Allah once more. Likewise, when Abd al-Mutaalib knew in his heart that they could not prevent Abraha from destroying the House he submitted to the truth and said, "The House has a Lord to protect it," and he did not assocaite partners in that with Him, and he submitted that Allah alone protects and defends the K'aba.

This tawheed is referred to as tawheed of ruboobiyya (Lordship), this is the tawheed that implies that Allah is the Lord and the Creator, the Sustainer, the Giver of life and death, and the All Powerful. Yet, this was not enough and it must be accompanied with another form of tawheed - tawheed of uloohiyya - that is the forbiddance of Allah's creatures to take others as gods besides Allah. As it does not benefit a creature to believe that there is no creator, maker organizer, except Allah - unless - he worships this maker and does not woship anything with Him, believing that He is the only one worthy of worship. Since the false gods are incapable of Allah's ability, they do not deserve to be associated with Him in worship.

The idolators do not benefit by believing that Allah is alone in sustaining, giving life, and death even if they call it tawheed of rububiyya because they do not include tawheed of uloohiyya with it, which states that if the Lord is the Creator, Sustainer, Giver of life and death, then He is the Lord for all creation and there is no other Lord beside Him.

Al-Habashi does not differentiate between these two types of tawheed, and he assumes that tawheed of rububiyya is the tawheed for the ability of inventing and organizing, which he mixed in with the tawheed of uloohiyya. So, in other words, to him whoever admits that Allah is the One who invents, then he has grasped the pure tawheed. Then he tries to prove this point of his by citing the statement of Allah,

"If they had any gods besides Allah they (the heavens and the earth) would have been in a state of disorder." [Anbiyya: 22]

Then, al-Habashi claimed that this kind of tawheed is called 'proof of inability.' This is incorrect because the idolators did not claim that there is more than one who has the all encompassing ability or more than one creator. They believed that the creator is one and - yet - they still worshipped many gods and this is proven from the Book of Allah by His saying,

"And if you ask them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth and made the sun and the moon subservient?' they will certainly say, 'Allah'." [Ankboot: 61]

and for that Allah asked them afterwards;

"...do you not admit?" [Anbiya:67]

So, we learn from this, that al-Habashi's usage of the verse

"If they had any gods besides Allah they (the heavens and the earth) would have been in a state of disorder." [Anbiyya: 22]

as proof for Allah's unity in creating and inventing is not an evidence - because - Allah has mentioned to use that the idolators admit that Allah is the only creator and inventor, but what he means in this verse is that only the the true god should be given tawheed of uloohiyya. So, He is a god with divinity in its real meaning and this is why Allah sent the Messengers calling to single out this divinity. He also meant by this that the idolators admit to His Lordship - yet - they deny His divinity or uloohiyya.

"Did he make all of the gods one god?" [Saad: 5]

Each Prophet started His invitation to Allah with the saying;

"Worship Allah; you have no god bu Him." [Ar'af: 59]

And Allah Azza wa Jall said,

"And ask those of Our Messengers whom We sent before you, 'Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent God'...?" [Zukhruf: 45]

Concerning the fact that there is only one creator and organizer, the idolators have admitted to this. Thus, al-Habashi does not support pure tawheed which eradicates shirk from its very roots, rather he approves of what the idolators said. His evidence fails to show the truth and it fails to nullify the falsehood.

Which bit of that didn't you understand? Tearlach 23:27, 16 August 2005 (UTC)


hi, about your question, the answer is no. I did not take part to the writing.--equitor 02:13, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

I am very disappointed to find out that I have been blocked for standing-up for WikiPedia-NPOV guidelines.

Unfotunately, Adminsitrator Commander_Keane played right into the hands of Al-Ahbash / Habashies' gang, which includes but not limited to:

.etc

(Anybody with a little bit of commonsense and by paying attention to the "date-stamps", "contributions", "target-pages", "style", "verbage", "semantics" .etc can figure the TRUTH out that there is an ON-GOING and Constant / Complex Vandalism + Delibrate Three revert rule Manipulation. - and delivered their wish by blocking me for 24 hours.

Above users, specially Cronodevir (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Muslim_sunni (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), are using WikiPedia Islam-related pages to link-farm, spamm and for marketing purposes to promote their own sect and pursue their agenda.

I am NOT guilty of violating or manipulating the Three revert rule NOR I am guilty of link-farming, spamming or using WikiPedia Islam-ralted pages to market or promote my group. All I have been trying to do is to maintain the integrity of WikiPedia NPOV-guidelines and reverting back to Tearlach's version.

There are two parties:

  • McKhan, a mainstream Sunni whose family has been Sunni for centuries
  • Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP, a religious sect / cult, which denies the TOTALITY of the Quran and have SUBSTANTIAL and FUNDMENTAL differences with mainstream Sunnis and yet classifies itself as a Sunni and thereby hides itself behind the mainstream Sunnis like myself, to seek legitimacy and recruitment (You are more than welcome to read Internet in a Sectarian Islamic Context, a research report by an INDEPENDENT / ACADEMIC outlet)

Tearlach is NOT a mainstream Sunni NOR he belongs to Al-Ahbash / Habashies group. He got involved and wrote a WikiPedia-NPOV compliant version.

I totally appreciate the fact and have repeatedly acknowledged that if two parties don't see each other eye-to-eye then only a NEUTRAL / INDEPENDENT party can do the job.

However, Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP don't appreicate that nor the fact that if I will write that page according to my wishes, that page will NOT be somewhat NEUTRAL like the way Tearlach has written.

Here is

and - here is

It is quite obvious that Tearlach's version of 'Al-Ahbash' page is more WikiPedia NPOV-compliant.

Furthermore, Tearlach has already addressed all the objections raised by the Al-Ahbash / Habashies on his version as per following:

Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP's Objections: "an interpretation of Islam combining elements of Sunni and Shi'a theology with Sufism"[10] ? + "anti-Salafi, and with Sufi and other beliefs seen as heretical"[11] ?

NPOV / Tearlach's Response: It was an attempt to summarise and merge the descriptions at the three cited sources: their own promotional website; a critical description; and what appears to be a fairly balanced and properly-sourced paper in an academic journal. It incorporated other academic sources such as Internet in a Sectarian Islamic Context. Tearlach 15:50, 26 October 2005 (UTC) + Read NPOV. I chose those links because they represent a spread of views: one well-referenced and (as far as I can tell neutral) academic article; one from the official AICP site, which is completely uncritical of Al-Ahbash; and one fairly representative of what its critics say about it. Tearlach 02:15, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Morever, fairly and impartially speaking, Tearlach has given AICP / Al-Ahbash / Habashies quite favorable but blanced POV on WikiPedia:

  • a). by not calling them a CULT but merely a "sect"
  • b). by providing an external link to Al-Ahbash / Habashies' arch web-site and to another contrary link
  • c). by quoting their BOGUS and OXYMORONIC claim that AICP / Al-Ahbash / Habashies advocates pluralism, and opposition to political activism and violence (There is ample material available over the internet to refute both claims)

and

  • d). by quoting AICP / Al-Ahbash / Habashies' FRADULENT slogan from their own web-site, "the resounding voice of moderation" (despite the fact that the very same "the voice of moderation" castigates every that individual / web-site / organization / outlet - which - expose the Al-Ahbash / AICP / Habashies' agenda and beliefs as either "Wahabi", "Kaafir", "non-Muslim", "Islamist" or part of a "smear compaign" .etc)

Consequently, I, as a party, support Tearlach's version of 'Al-Ahbash' page, WikiPedia NPOV-compliant version - over - Al-Ahbash / Habashies' version of 'Al-Ahbash' which doesn't offer any balance nor it offers what the ciritics say about Al-Ahbash / Habashies.

I have repeatedly pointed-out that I am a mainstream Sunni and my family is Sunni for centuries. As I have reiterated before that I am NOT guilty of inserting / promoting HIDDEN links, rewriting a WikiPedia NPOV-compliant version to a more Habashanized version on WikiPedia AND other projects' Islam-related pages (I invite everybody to visit McKhan (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)'s contributions to see IF I EVER did that on WikiPedia) to seek legitimacy and recruitment for my group but Al-Ahbash / Habashies are.

I have also warned many times that the agents / sympathizers of Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP will continue:

  • to make attempts to Habashanize this page and other WikiPedia / similar projects' Islam-related pages by twisting WikiPedia and others' guidelines to the maximum extent and by incorporating hidden links to wage a blatant and hegemonic smear campaign using "Islamic" sounded web-sites
  • to castigate / shun / discard / ignore / discredit / "refute" any criticism / evidence by any individual / web-site / organization / outlet - which exposes the Al-Ahbash / AICP / Habashies' agenda and beliefs - as either "Wahabi", "Kaafir", "non-Muslim", "Islamist" or part of a "smear / defemation compaign"
  • to use "politically correct" language / jargon / ebonics / verbage / semantics to their benefit and pursue their agenda and beliefs against the other party
  • to purse their "divide and conquer" strategy by trying to DIMINISH / LESSEN and ultimately REMOVE the FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE (S), demonstrated / presented / preached by themselves on this very page and by practicing their hedious, vicious, contemptuous and dangerous tactics elsewhere on the web and in their material and Musallahs, between mainstream Sunnis and Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP to seek legitimacy, recruitment and hegemonic superiority of their beliefs and agenda,

and

  • to ignore / discredit all the INDEPENDENT, NEUTRAL and ACADEMIC sources and material which doesn't follow the tag-line of Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP.

Al-Ahbash / Habashies agents are ganging-up on WikiPedia Islam-related pages to SANITIZE themselves to pursue their agenda of seeking legitimacy and recruitment under the guise of mainstream Sunni Muslims.

Indeed, FIRST - Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP's agents tried to castigate me as a "Wahabi", "non-Muslim" .etc and NOW they are trying to FRAME me and trying to manufacture a CHAOS (by creating HOSTILE environment, by manipulating 3 Rvv rule, by calling me a "Wahabi" and therefore trying to portray me as a "Terrorist" .etc) to get me banned from the WikiPedia that they could continue their on-slaught on WikiPedia Islam-realted pages with free-hand to seek legitimacy and recruitment under the guise of mainstream Sunni Muslims.

I invite all the fair-minded and sincere WikiPedia Admistrators to compare / investigate

with

.etc

by using a little bit of common-sense and by paying keen attention to "date-stamps", "contributions", "target-pages", "style", "verbage", "semantics" .etc to figure the TRUTH out that there is an ON-GOING and Constant / Complex Vandalism, link-farming, marketing, Delibrate Three revert rule Manipulation .etc

I hope WikiPedia administrators will be able to figure that conspiracy out and rather being a complicit or playing right into the hands of Al-Ahbash / Habashies, will co-operate to maintain the integrity of WikiPedia-NPOV guidelines and rest of vulnerable WikiPedia Islam-related pages which are on the stake.

I'm a native English speaker. What do you mean there aren't any? --Khoikhoi 07:32, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Does that make you "special"?

Does that make you special or superior 'coz you are "native" speaker? - Or - Are you simply being xenophobic? McKhan

Jesus Christ, I'm just trying to answer your incorrect statement above, There are no "native" speakers of English. I'm not trying to brag or anything. I also don't see why you think your articles are the best and don't need to be improved. --Khoikhoi 05:58, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


Reply

Ok first off, your English is not that good. You may think that the article is understandable, but it's not. That's why I added the copyedit tag. Now the article is readable. I never added any information to the articles, so why is it a crime that I don't know anything about them? I just wanted people to be able to understand it. Please stop threatening me. When I said that the Pashtuns live in Afghanistan and Pakistan I meant their homeland, not the diaspora. --Khoikhoi 06:57, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

You do have some complex... Don't you?

The text of those pages was written by the British Intelligence officers almost 100 years ago. And what do you know about my English? Do you even know me? McKhan

No, I don't know you, but based on what you just wrote I do know your skills in writing articles in English. I suggest you edit the Pushtu Wikipedia instead. --Khoikhoi 07:02, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
I just couldn't care less about your immature judgements. You should stay away from those page which you know nothing about otherwise I will make sure that you get blocked - yet again. McKhan
Threatening others with blocks when you really can't do anything except complain is incivility and general harassment. NSLE (T+C) 07:09, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

No, I'm an admin. NSLE (T+C) 07:16, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Good for you. I can also be an admin. But I simply don't have time to waste with amateurs. McKhan
You have been blocked 3 hours for general incivlity. It's short, I hope you learn some manners. NSLE (T+C) 07:26, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Who cares? I don't. McKhan
Greetings, McKhan. There are many hunderds of admins. And in the interests of constructiveness, I would press on NSLE to also tone it down a notch for the time being. Our encyclopedia needs people like you to contribute, but we also have a style guide to keep in mind. Also, please review ownership of articles. I think the problem is that in some of the articles, the prose and the narrative are not entirely clear, in that the reader might find it difficult to tell what each individual component refers to (see my questions regarding Wur on Khoikhoi's talk page). Thank you. Regards, El_C 07:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
I've unblocked you early, I hope you cooled down a little. Try to be less incivil, if possible. We're all here to help. As El_C pointed out, he's asked you a few questions here, perhaps you could answer them to clear this up. NSLE (T+C) 08:10, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


Copyedit - Indian tribe pages

Hi. I notice you and user Khoikhoi have been having a bit of a revert battle with his copyedit tag on the Tarkani and Salarzai pages. I am agreement with Khoikhoi that the articles did need a copyedit as they really weren't in an understandable form. I have done my best to extract what I think is a readable and accurate version of the text that was there. Please review it and correct any errors, but don't simple revert it to the old version. Kcordina 15:16, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Of course, you will agree with Khoikhoi because he invited you to "copyedit" them though they were quite understandable without your "copyediting." It is quite amusing to read your claim that you have made them "readable" and "accurate" though you know almost nothing about the Pashtun history AND for the fact that the text which I posted there was written by the British Officers almost 100 years ago. McKhan
  • No one invited me to copyedit the pages, in wikipedia if a {{copyedit} tag is added to an article it appears in the Wikipedia_articles_needing_copy_edit category where any interested party can pick up the article to try and help to improve the language. This system generally works very well as it allows people, such as me, who have a reasonable ability with the English language to help improve articles, even if they are not experts in a field. In answer to your other points:-
I'm afraid the articles were not 'quite understandable' - for example, what does (8,000 ; Babukarrah and Charmung valley, Bajaur) mean?
I did not claim to have made them "readable" and "accurate" - if you read my comment what I actually say is I have done my best to extract what I think is a readable and accurate version rapidly followed by Please review it and correct any errors, hoping that an expert in the field would use the clear language I had used to build an accurate article.
You are quite right that I know nothing about the Pashtun history, but I do know about clear English. As explained above - that is the idea of the copyedit. One person supplies the language, another supplies the knowledge. That is why I asked you to review the article. As great as the British Military is, simply because something was written by one of its Officers, doesn't mean it is written in good English in the context of Wikipedia.

Can we please try and move back from the mud-slinging of this debate and work together to achieve a good set of articles. It seems there are at least 4 articles which may need some work. I propose the following as a route forward. Everyone leave the articles alone for the time being, while I shall attempt to find an impartial person, with an interest in articles of this type that can attempt to mediate a solution between yourself and KhoiKhoi. I had hoped I would be able to do that, but you seem to be intent on drawing me into the shouting match. Give me a day or so to find someone. Kcordina 09:48, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

  • In view of the absence of progress in resolving this dispute, I have lodged a request with the Mediation Cabal, who will hopefully be able to help everyone arrive at a sensible conclusion. (see request here. Kcordina 10:45, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Mediation

Recently, user Kcordina requested the Mediation Cabal to mediate the dispute concerning the Pashtun tribes articles. After reviewing the articles, I am forced to conclude that you are in violation of Wikipedia:Ownership of articles. Please review the policy and feel free to ask me anything if you have questions. Thank you. Olorin28 00:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I have blocked you for 24 hours as a result of your recent behaviour on Qibla. You have undoubtedly violated the WP:3RR as well as engaging in an edit pattern that clearly disrupts the normal functioning of editing an article. -Splashtalk 19:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism (March 2006)

Please do not delete sections of text or valid links from Wikipedia articles. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Jibran1 06:32, 30 March 2006

I sincerely apologise for the warning that I have given you. I was looking through the history of the article and had noticed that you had erased links from the 'External links' section, multiple times, after they had been put back. Upon further investigation of Wikipedia:Vandalism & Wikipedia:External_links#Links_to_normally_avoid and a readthrough of the dialogue between you and Art LaPella, I realised that I might have been a bit hasty in putting up the warning on your page. My mistake. At this point, I just want to add that I put that warning up on your page, in good faith and in the interest of the article. I am not taking sides, and I can assure you that there was no "nepotism" or "nationalism" going on. I would put up a warning on Muslim Sunni too, if your accusations towards him are true, however, I could not find his name listed as the webmaster at the Sunna.info website. Furthermore, Sunna.info seems to be an informative websites as I did find some interesting articles on it.
Please do continue to contribute to Wikipedia. I'm sure your inputs and efforts are appreciated. Once again, my sincere apologies to you. --Jibran1 23:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Blocked for violation of 3RR at Al-Ahbash

Firstly, let me begin by saying that I apologise for this delayed notice of your block. Seconds after I applied the block to your account my internet connection dropped out, then I fell asleep.

You have been blocked for 24 hours for violation of the Three revert rule (3RR). It's never acceptable to revert an article more than 3 times in 24 hours over a content dispute - whatever your feelings about the content issue are. The article was Al-Ahbash. In the future, please use discussion rather than reverting to change articles.--Commander Keane 04:44, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Al-Ahbash

I'm not part of the Al-Ahbash myself, but do you have a source that states they are considered kuffar by most Muslims? BhaiSaab talk 17:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


Please, Read ABOVE and:

Please read wikipedia's help section on minor edits. BhaiSaab talk 22:11, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Why do you feel the need to bring back old discussions? The topic was locked for over two months and I had it unlocked. Its better to start afresh. Archiving is a regular process. BhaiSaab talk 00:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

It is still under progress. And you better stop pushing your Shia agenda on Wikipedia Islam-related page and stop using Sock-puppets. Your archving is not written on the stone. Contexual Archiving is more crucial. McKhan

Just because I forgot to sign in doesn't mean I'm using sock-puppets. There is no Shi'a agenda; why, do you consider them kuffar too? This is probably the third or fourth agenda you've accused me of. BhaiSaab talk 00:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Aminz, a Shia, was helping on the Al-Ahbash page. I will recommend that you should study the subject first and then try to work on this page. McKhan

You're welcome

I am happy that you liked it. BTW, did you finally get to create that table? (I think we decided to put it in another format though) --Aminz 07:22, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Whatever Imfatima2001 gathered and wrote, I simply formatted and posted it as a new page, Mainstream Muslims Vs. Al-Ahbash, along-with her table. Please, feel welcome to see the current status of that page here. I wish I had more time to re-write that table, at least. McKhan
First, check out http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:Muhammad#Dispute_regarding_Khyber_War There is a nice table there.
Secondly, it was good if you could summerize everything in a sentence or two. The table was hard to read. You can give references to some websites (WP:RS ones) for further reading. The table will be then added to the "Crticitism of Ahbashi" section in the article. I am also still waiting for the other party to make their own "Responses section".
Take care, --Aminz 07:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you so much for all the help and for the example. I will check it out. Take care and Good night. :) McKhan

BhaiSaab talk 02:51, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

It is called CONTEXUAL ARCHIVING. McKhan
The only context it establishes is that the you claim Al-Ahbash deny the totality of the Qur'an, which I'm not so sure is true, and that you and other editors previously made personal attacks against each other. Not a pretty context. BhaiSaab talk 02:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
I'll have to read more about the Al-Ahbash before I can say what they believe. Islam's talk page is currently 106KB. Dhimmi is not an article I regularly edit, but its talk page is about 160KB. I don't subscribe to the views of any of the people you mentioned, but it's not as if their articles are being copied and pasted onto Wikipedia, so I don't see how that's relevant. BhaiSaab talk 03:19, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually I read most of it. That doesn't mean I believe it though. BhaiSaab talk 03:31, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Q: "What do you think what Al-Ahbash believe in about the TOTALITY of the Quran and Tawheed?" McKhan
  • A: "I'll have to read more about the Al-Ahbash before I can say what they believe." BhaiSaab talk 03:19, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
McKhan
Right, I said "read more." That doesn't indicate that I haven't read about them at all. BhaiSaab talk 03:39, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
It doesn't mean that you have achieved the knwolege-level of a religious scholar and therefore you should castigate expert opinions from mainstream scholars like Dr. Ahmad Sakr and Dr. Muzzamil Siddiqi and many more as "Polemics", "Original Research", "Non-Verifiable" .etc McKhan
Well of course I'm not a religious scholar. I haven't categorized those scholars opinions, but I have described a few of your edits as such. BhaiSaab talk 03:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


I don't insist on my edits when I see other's peoples edits are reasonable. The only feeling that piece of text leaves is that of animosity. Why don't you propose what you would like to do with the article on the talk page so we can move forward? Also, I think you're quite able to help me improve the Islam article. If you can, please do that. BhaiSaab talk 03:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I think it has got to do more with the control than the edits by themselves. What is posted up there on Talk:Al-Ahbash page is a compromise. I know Al-Ahbash / Habashies very well and I have done my home-work on them for years. I know plenty of them here where I live. It has nothing to do with animosity but pure logic and their practice of hiding behind mainstream Sunnis to seek legitimacy and recruitment. So, I am quite comfortable with the subject of Al-Ahbash / Habashies. As far as other pages of Wikipedias are concerned including Islam, I am not going to waste my time in haggling. I have already got enough on my plate. Thanks for the offer / invitation, though. McKhan
It has nothing to do with control. Timothy Usher has left a message for you on my talkpage which I agree with completely. BhaiSaab talk 03:49, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
We don't need to know a lot about Al-Ahbash to know how to distinguish between what is allowed and what is not allowed by policy. BhaiSaab talk 03:54, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
If you've noticed, I haven't made any content edits on the Al-Ahbash article because I feel I should read more on them before I do so. I feel I have enough knowledge about Islam to edit Islam-related articles, and I don't particularly appreciate the sarcastic tone. BhaiSaab talk 04:04, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
I think the amount of editors countering your edits regarding the Al-Ahbash speaks for itself and "my haggling." BhaiSaab talk 04:11, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
This discussion isn't going anywhere, so I've started a new one on Talk:Al-Ahbash. BhaiSaab talk 04:20, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Good luck. Keep talking to yourself. Nobody is going to baby-sit you about the sources. McKhan
Does that mean you won't participate? I find that unfortunate. How do you expect the article to move forward then? The best source about a people's beliefs are the people themselves. BhaiSaab talk 04:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Good luck. Keep talking to yourself. Nobody is going to baby-sit you about the sources. McKhan
Is there an echo in here? BhaiSaab talk 04:36, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, In your mind. McKhan

About the Ahbash page

I agree with you that only mentioning the Nizar Halabi assassination in such a stub article might not be a good idea, but from what i see on your talk page it seems that the Ahbash are pretty active on Wikipedia so why their article is still a stub ??? anyway i think it should be expanded in the future and yes them being mentioned in the U.N report should also be mentioned in the expanded page with the assassination of Al-Halabi since from what I know he was assassinated because of the Ibn Taymiya dispute. « Hiram111ΔTalK Δ 15:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Well never mind this I've just read about the dispute concerning the Ahbash page and I think it should at least contain a section about their beliefs and differences from the mainstream Sunnis and their political status in Lebanon but It seems that the issue is very complicated and it has caused a lot of headache for many editors, so i guess it would be better to leave the article as it is for now, though it lacks a NPOV. t.c « Hiram111ΔTalK Δ 16:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Last warning

In light of the evidence brought up in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AmandaParker, I'm letting this be your last warning. You have already engaged in an unhealthy amount of edit warring, but to top it off, when that failed, you tried to accomplish your purposes through skulduggery and subterfuge. You've also shown an unhealthy predilection for Wikipedia:The Truth.

So, either take my advice, or leave it. I'll even mentor you through the process if you accept my advice; this way you might even get a compromised version of your text into the article (the universe doesn't revolve around you and yes you might be wrong, so, no, you might not get your version of the text exactly how you want it). But if you don't, I'll just block you outright and no one will shed a tear. And you will never get your version implemented. Magog the Ogre (talk) 16:23, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

If I recall correctly, you and I go long way back, thus, perhaps you DO understand what is exactly happening on that Ahbash page. It isn't about my "version." The irony is that I didn't even write ANY of those versions which are up on that page. I just want Wikipedia and its editors to do the right thing and NOT fall prey to the agenda of Ahbash / AICP / Habashies which they have been pushing through for years on that very page through various tactics. IF you really want to get involved in this then you should read my recent discussion with Baboon43. Over the years, I have provided AMPLE academic sources (Muslim and non-Muslim) on that very talk page. As long as that Wikipedia page is up and keep on showing up as the top Search Engine Result page, I will keep coming back to that page to make sure that the Ahbash / AICP / Habashies' are not able to use it as their marketing tool. Think about it. McKhan (talk)
That attitude is a non-starter. This isn't a battleground. I suggest you stop treating it as one and start abiding by our rules now or else the page will get semi-protected and the other editors will have the right to revert your edits on sight and at will; you will not ever get your point of view across that way. If you believe you have a valid point and it has been ignored, try WP:DR and/or Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard. Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:45, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks to one of your previous comments, (e.g. Wikipedia:The Truth) I stumbled upon to pages like "How to win a revert war", thus, I hope you are able to clarify this for me: If the Wikipedia is only interested in the status quo stance and it does contain pages like "How to win a revert war" (albeit under the "tag" of "Humor" and "Sarcasm") then it seems like that Wikipedia is only interested in "quantity" of the editors (i.e. "status quo) but not the quality of the content presented on its pages which is quite a disappointment as I am only interested in the subjects which I have knowledge of/about and I am sure that there are plenty of editors like me out there on Wikipedia. Is Wikipedia a game? McKhan (talk)

Merger

While I fully support the merger you have done it wrong, see WP:MERGE I have never done a merger either so it would be best to self revert yourself and ask someone who knows how do do it to, well, do it. Darkness Shines (talk) 19:32, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Where should I ask? McKhan (talk) 19:35, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
I have no idea, perhaps ask an admin? Darkness Shines (talk) 19:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

RFC

I noticed you wished to make the RFC you started a little more prominent, however it is not currently an RFC. It has expired. You need to relist it by adding the template and signing again. Darkness Shines (talk)

Thank you for your kind advice. . McKhan (talk) 01:01, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

The reason I looked at the article on Al-Ahbash what that on 24 April you posted this notice on User talk:Shabiha (the latter is on my watch list). In the notice you stated that you had removed his edit. But as far as I could see, you had not.

The problem with the RFC you posted on the article is similar - you say why you want things changed, and assume that we will understand what you want changed. Maybe people who have been editing the article for months understand what you mean. But people like me, who have "fresh eyes", do not understand the point you are making. I do not think that asking even more people to get involved is going to help.

What would help would be if you listed changes you want, and put the explanations with them.--Toddy1 (talk) 18:59, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Al-Ahbash, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. SudoGhost 02:58, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I should have clarified. It's not that I disagree with your edit, at least in terms of grammar and spelling (I didn't look too much into the content issue), it's just that it shouldn't be marked as a minor edit, that's all. - SudoGhost 04:26, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Helping improving section - belief.

In the technical academic aspect, Islam is divided in 2 categories: The beliefe "^Aqidah" and practice "Fiqh". As known in Muslim theology, belief is a condition of Islam. Sufisme is not included in belief, but it is a way of practicing Islam. An example of that is that a Muslim can be Muslim without beein a Sufi.

Also I saw no citation saying that, but I found citation of their website saying "The A.I.C.P has as guides the Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad and the path of the Islamic scholars like Imam Ash-Shafi^iyy, Imam Malik, Imam Ahmad and Imam Abu-Hanifah", which is more appropriete to use.

Also, it's not appropriate to talk about "takfir" without citing article.

Saying that AICP is mainly in USA is a mistake. I found many internet website, conferences, associations and radios abroad.

Ecriloquence (talk · contribs), Thank you very much for your kind message. I will try my best to answer all of your points one by one:
  • This page is about Al-Ahbash - an extremely controversial subject - which uses its not-for-profit organization, Association of Islamic Charitable Projects (AICP), in the Untied States, North America and Middle East and Islamic Charity Projects Association (ICPA) in Australia, Thus, the Al-Ahbash are also known as the AICP or ICPA.
  • Since this page is on the Wikipedia, which aspires to have Neutral Point of View (NPOV), thus, it is extremely important that any version of Al-Ahbash (and other Al-Ahbash related pages) should present the information written by the Al-Ahbash as well as its opponents (including "Wahabis", "Salafis", "Infidels" or "Kaafir" .etc) objectively under the light of pertinent sources and Wikipedia's NPOV guidelines
  • The information you added under "Religious beliefs", it is already there substantiated with academic sources.
  • The current version of Al-Ahbash page does not state "that AICP is mainly in USA" instead it states "It also promotes its beliefs internationally through a major internet presence and regional offices, notably in the United States."[11] And if you notice under the "External Links", there is a direct link to the AICP web-site where the readers can get further information from about its presence and other regional offices.
As per the Welcome Note which I left on your Talk Page, "Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes; this will automatically insert your username and the date."
Thank you. McKhan (talk) 03:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pashtun tribes, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Alizai, Sagi and Shinwari (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
