2021, August 1, was a memorable Sunday morning. Muftī Rada-ul-Haq,

the most senior Ustādh at Dār-ul-‘Ulūm Zakariyya, South Africa,
delivered a beautiful and thought-provoking lecture on the newfound
Abrahamic Religion, in his masterful way. It has been translated from
the original Urdu and transcribed here for the benefit of the Ummah.

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

All praise is for Allāh Ta’ālā, may peace and salutations be upon our
leader, Sayyidunā Muhammad, his family and companions

Scholars and friends, much has happened over the last few days. One
subject that is being spoken about and propaganda of it is being spread
in order to make the entire world one is the “Abrahamic Religion.” It
is being promoted and all are asked to agree to it.

After this, the adherents of these faiths would be required to make

friends and establish bonds. In reality, this is being done to deceive the
Muslims. Time and again, in the Noble Qur’ān, Allāh Ta’ālā repeats the
theme of Islām is the only accepted religion and way of life. Study the
following examples.

Allāh Ta’ālā says,

Definitely the only religion with Allāh is Islām. Those who were given the Book
from before, i.e., the Jews and the Christians, differed only after the knowledge

4
came to them because of hatred among themselves. Whoever disbelieves in the
revelations of Allāh, verily Allāh is swift in taking account.[1]

Today I have perfected your religion for you, completed My bounty upon you
and chosen Islām as your religion.[2]

For a Muslim, religion is more important than worldly life. It is clear

that in every era, greater importance was given to religion. Bilqīs, the
Queen, had everything. When the hoopoe returned from Yemen after
seeing her kingdom, it said,

I have discovered that a woman rules over them who has been given
everything. She also has a magnificent throne.[3]

We understand that the economic situation in Yemen was very

prosperous. She had a large kingdom and sat on a grand throne. Her
political power was very strong. However,

I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allāh. [4]

The hoopoe found the religious condition of the people to be

very bad. This is why Sulayman ‘alayhi as-salām sent a letter to
her. As a result, Bilqīs came and submitted,

She said, ‘O my Rabb, I have surely oppressed my soul. I submit with

Sulaymān to Allāh, the Rabb of the universe.’[5]

We realize that a Muslim should not make the economic and

social condition into his primary concern. Yes, it must be in
order, but the presence of religion is most important. It must be
seen whether the religious practice is alive or not.

5
Therefore, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, ‘By Him in
Whose control is the life of Muhammad, whoever in the Ummah
hears about me, whether Jew or Christian, but does not affirm his
belief in that with which I have been sent and dies in this state of
disbelief, he will be one of the denizens of hell-fire.’[6]

A person will be worthy of entry into Jannah once he embraces

Islām. There is no other way. The (newfound) Abrahamic
Religion will bring together various aspects of character and
good conduct and call people to unite upon it, whereas in Islām,
there is a proper and established system of belief. This will be
thrown aside. There is a system of practice, it will be thrown
aside.

We say that if someone wants this religion, then see the

following description of Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi as-salām,

So follow the religion of Ibrāhīm, which is not inclined towards any

deviation but is inclined to the straight way. He was never from the
polytheists.[7]

Hence, we understand that Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi as-salām

was upon the straight path, away from every other deviated way.

The newfound Abrahamic Religion will teach us to tolerate one

another and live in harmony with everyone, show good
character, but there would be no Salah, no fasting, no Hajj, no
Zakat, no system of trade.

6
Islām teaches us not to consume interest. In the newfound
Abrahamic Religion, all will be taught to unite upon consuming
interest. There should be a usury system. How can a Muslim
tolerate this? How can a Muslim accept this?

In Islam there is Hajj, Rasūlullāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam

performed Hajj and ‘Umrah. In the newfound Abrahamic
Religion, there is no question of Hajj. The Jews do not know
anything about Hajj, the Christians do not accept it either. We
(Muslims) accept it, and Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi as-salām also
performed Hajj.

In reality, (the genuine and ancient) Abrahamic Religion is our

Islām. We believe in all the Messengers, including Sayyidunā
Mūsā ‘alayhi as-salām and Sayyidunā ‘Isā alayhi as-salām. Once
we believe in them, the Abrahamic Religion is found within Islām
to the perfect degree already.

Therefore, once a person embraces Islām, he will in essence be

practically carrying out the Abrahamic Religion. When the Jews
will establish this (newfound) Abrahamic Religion, then how can
the Muslims accept it and believe it?

It is their plan by establishing this religion (in Abu Dhabi and

Dubai) to print the Bible and the Noble Qur’an together. The
Christians will read the Noble Qur’ān and believe it, the Muslims
will read the Bible and believe it.

7
However, the Bible they have is interpolated and distorted.
When a person will read the Bible and believe, how can he
remain a Muslim?

The Bible states that Sayyidunā Nuh ‘alayhi as-salām drank wine,
fell unconscious, took off his clothes, became naked and his
daughter brought clothes to cover him. His son Kan’an then told
the people about this. Sayyidunā Nuh ‘alayhi as-salām cursed
him. How can a Muslim ever accept this? In Islām, we are taught
the following about the Ambiyā’,

Before this We had granted Ibrāhīm his correct course and We were
always aware of him.[8]

In this manner, so that We averted evil and immorality from him. Indeed
he was from Our sincere bondsmen.[9]

When the Bible and the Qur’ān will be printed together, then the
high rank and noble nature of the Messengers will not remain in
the heart and mind of the one who reads it.

It is written in the Bible that Sayyidunā Lūt ‘alayhi as-salām did

not have sons, he had two daughters. They consulted and the
elder daughter gave him wine to drink and the elder one had
illicit relations with him. We seek the protection of Allah. We
cannot even relate such lowly things. She became pregnant and
had children. The younger daughter did the same thing the
following night and had children with her father. Can a Muslim
hear this? If he believes it, will he remain a Muslim?

8
When the Bible and the Noble Qur’ān will be printed together,
people will be told to accept the Noble Qur’ān. Will they ever
accept the Noble Qur’ān and believe in it? The Noble Qur’ān
prohibits usury, whilst their entire lives are built upon usury.
Where will they ever believe in the prohibition of usury?

It is stated in the Bible about Sayyidunā Ya’qūb ‘alayhi as-salām

that he wrestled with Allāh Ta’ālā for an entire night. Allāh Ta’ālā
became tired by the morning and Sayyidunā Ya’qūb ‘alayhi as-
salām was given a beating with a stick by Allāh Ta’ālā – he then
suffered an illness of blood squirting from his vein. How can such
things ever be believed? This degrades the honor of the Ambiyā’
to a terrible degree.

With regards to Sayyidunā Sulaymān ‘alayhi as-salām, it is said

that there were disbelieving women in his house and they would
worship idols, and he was happy with this.

In reality, this (new found Abrahamic Religion) is a Jewish

agenda. They tell us to believe and accept Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm
‘alayhi as-salām and Sayyidunā Mūsā ‘alayhi as-salām, and their
objective is achieved. This is because the Jews do not believe and
accept Sayyidunā ‘Isā ‘alayhi as-salām. The Jews do not accept
Sayyidunā Muḥammad sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Once a
person accepts Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi as-salām and
Sayyidunā Mūsā ‘alayhi as-salām, he will be told, ‘Now you are
with us.’ The is the plot of the greater Israel. They desire to bring
those areas under their control, which were under the

9
jurisdiction of Sayyidunā Dāwūd ‘alayhi as-salām. They do not
accept the blessed Haramayn as the Haramayn. They state that
this is part of the greater Israel.

Allāh Ta’ālā has blessed us with the great bounty of Islām. There
is a system of belief, practice, character, economic and social life,
and also inheritance. Islām is an entire system of life. Allāh Ta’ālā
declares this to be a great bounty. This bounty must be valued
and appreciated. When we will practice on the new Abrahamic
Religion, the Jews will say that we are on the truth and they are
on the truth too.

Verily the disbelievers from the People of the Book and the polytheists
shall live forever in the fire of hell. These are the worst of creation. [10]

In the light of this verse, the disbelievers, the Jews, the

Christians, the polytheists are upon a very bad footing in terms
of belief and practice. Allāh Ta’ālā says that they are the worst,
whereas, in the new Abrahamic Religion, we will have to say that
the Jews and Christians are upon the truth despite their religions
being deformed and altered. As things stand, we have hardly
control over worldly resources and by accepting this (new-found
religion), even religion will leave our grasp.

One of the goals of those who chant slogans of the Abrahamic

Religion is that those who we would previously accept as
disbelievers, we should now join them into our ranks. We should
join the Qadiyanis into our ranks now because they also claim to

10
follow Islām, whereas our scholars state that there are three
types of disbelievers. One is an outright disbeliever (kāfir), one is
a hypocrite (munāfiq) and one is a heretic (zindīq). A
disbeliever’s disbelief is clear and open. A hypocrite is he who is
a disbeliever within but outwardly shows himself to be a Muslim.
A heretic is a disbeliever but labels his disbelief as Islām.

If we bring the Qadiyanis close to us, let them lecture before our
children, then they will label their disbelief as Islām.

Rasūlullāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam is the final Nabī. There is

no Nabī after him. Hence, Allāh Ta’ālā will send Sayyidunā ‘Isā
‘alayhi as-salām, a previous Nabī, who will follow Rasūlullāh
sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. The issue of Khatm e Nubuwwah
(the finality of the Prophethood) is absolutely critical.

The scholars explain that during the life of Rasūlullāh sallallāhu

‘alayhi wa sallam, whatever fighting took place against the non-
Muslims, 209 Muslims had achieved martyrdom. Another report
states 259. During the time of Sayyidunā Abū Bakr Siddīq
radiyallāhu ‘anhu, for the sake of Khatm e Nubuwwah, when
Musaylamah claimed Nubuwwuh, then the Muslims came out
against him, including Sayyidunā ‘Alī radiyallāhu ‘anhu. In this
battle, 1200 Muslims were martyred. Compare 209 throughout
the life of Rasūlullāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and 1200.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani had claimed himself to be higher

and loftier than even Rasūlullāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

11
Three thousand miracles took place at the hands of Rasūlullāh
sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed that
Allāh Ta’ālā gave him 300 000 miracles. He uttered many
blasphemous lines of poetry too.

We must stay away from such people. If they accept the truth
and Islām, then they will be our brothers and we shall join and
mix with them.

One part of the Abrahamic Religion is to take as Muslims

whoever claims to be a Muslim. ‘Bring the Qadiyanis closer to the
true Muslims and understand him, i.e., Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, to
be a Muslim’. It is important to ask Allāh Ta’ālā to keep us firm
upon the guidance of Islām and not let us go astray.

Our Rabb, do not cause our hearts to stray after You have guided us.
Grant us Your mercy for verily You are the Great Giver.[11]

If the deeds of a person are bad and evil, he will one day enter
Jannah. But if his beliefs are astray, he will dwell in hell forever.

Blessings lie with our elders. Allāh Ta’ālā has shown our pious
predecessors the paths of guidance, we should tread the path of
propagation of Islām, of joining the genuine awliya, of the
company of the true and pious scholars in the educational
institutes.

May Allāh Ta’ālā protect our faith and practices. Āmīn

The Abrahamic Religion is a novel concept based on the
misrepresentation of the great Messenger of Allāh Ta’ālā,
Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi as-salām. It basically claims that
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all equal religions acceptable
to God.

In simple terms, the interfaith idea attributed to Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi

as-salām is putting words into his mouth. In this article, without
delving into interpretation and analysis, we shall present the
clear and pure words of the Noble Qur’ān that clearly and
emphatically denounce and refute the modern-day Abrahamic
Religion concept. Study these verses and think for a moment,
how can any scholar, any priest, or any rabbi be so bold, daring,
and downright audacious to preach and teach something he
knows very well to be false?

Christianity and Judaism, in their modern-day changed forms,

have, in a general sense, nothing to do with the original teaching
and message of their Messengers. Hence, if a person is invited to
embrace a novel concept like the Abrahamic Religion, based on
fabrication and falsehood, what would the ideal response be?

Look at and study the following verses:

«Indeed, Ibrāhīm was a [comprehensive] leader, devoutly

obedient to Allāh, inclining toward truth, and he was not of those
who associate others with Allāh [He was] grateful for His favors.
Allāh chose him and guided him to a straight path And We gave
him good in this world, and indeed, in the Hereafter he will be

«And [mention, O Muhammad], when Ibrāhīm said to his father
Azar, “Do you take idols as deities? Indeed, I see you and your
people to be in manifest error.” And thus did We show Ibrāhīm
the realm of the heavens and the earth that he would be among
the certain [in faith] So when the night covered him [with
darkness], he saw a star. He said, “This is my lord.” But when it
set, he said, “I like not those that disappear.” And when he saw
the moon rising, he said, “This is my lord.” But when it set, he
said, “Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among the
people gone astray.” And when he saw the sun rising, he said,
“This is my lord; this is greater.” But when it set, he said, “O my
people, indeed I am free from what you associate with Allāh
Indeed, I have turned my face toward He who created the
heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not of
those who associate others with Allāh.” And his people argued
with him. He said, “Do you argue with me concerning Allāh while
He has guided me? And I fear not what you associate with Him
[and will not be harmed] unless my Lord should will something.
My Lord encompasses all things in knowledge; then will you not
remember? And how should I fear what you associate while you
do not fear that you have associated with Allāh that for which He
has not sent down to you any authority? So, which of the two
parties has more right to security, if you should know? They who
believe and do not mix their belief with injustice – those will
have security, and they are [rightly] guided and that was Our
[conclusive] argument which We gave Ibrāhīm against his

18
people. We raise by degrees whom We will. Indeed, your Lord is
Wise and Knowing»[5]

«And indeed, among his kind was Ibrāhīm When he came to his
Lord with a sound heart [And] when he said to his father and his
people, “What do you worship? Is it falsehood [as] gods other
than Allāh you desire? Then what is your thought about the Lord
of the worlds?” And he cast a look at the stars and said, “Indeed,
I am [about to be] ill.” So they turned away from him, departing
Then he turned to their gods and said, “Do you not eat? What is
[wrong] with you that you do not speak?” And he turned upon
them a blow with [his] right hand Then the people came toward
him, hastening He said, “Do you worship that which you
[yourselves] carve While Allāh created you and that which you
do?” They said, “Construct for him a furnace and throw him into
the burning fire.” And they intended for him a plan, but We made
them the most debased»[6]

‫‪«And [We sent] Ibrāhīm, when he said to his people, “Worship‬‬

‫‪Allāh and fear Him. That is best for you, if you should know You‬‬
‫‪only worship, besides Allāh, idols, and you produce a falsehood.‬‬
‫‪Indeed, those you worship besides Allah do not possess for you‬‬

‫‪20‬‬
Indeed that, for Allāh, is easy Say, [O Muhammad], “Travel
through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allāh
will produce the final creation. Indeed Allāh, over all things, is
competent.” He punishes whom He wills and has mercy upon
whom He wills, and to Him you will be returned And you will not
cause failure [to Allāh] upon the earth or in the heaven. And you
have not other than Allāh any protector or any helper And the
ones who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and the meeting with
Him – those have despaired of My mercy, and they will have a
painful punishment And the answer of Ibrāhīm ‘s people was not
but that they said, “Kill him or burn him,” but Allāh saved him
from the fire. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who believe
and [Ibrāhīm] said, “You have only taken, other than Allāh, idols
as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the
Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one
another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have
any helpers.”»[7]

«And [mention, O Muhammad], when We designated for Ibrāhīm

the site of the House, [saying], “Do not associate anything with
Me and purify My House for those who perform Tawāf and those
who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate and
proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to
you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every
distant pass That they may witness benefits for themselves and

22
mention the name of Allāh on known days over what He has
provided for them of [sacrificial] animals. So, eat of them and
feed the miserable and poor Then let them end their untidiness
and fulfill their vows and perform Tawāf around the ancient
House.” That [has been commanded], and whoever honors the
sacred ordinances of Allāh – it is best for him in the sight of his
Lord. And permitted to you are the grazing livestock, except
what is recited to you. So, avoid the uncleanliness of idols and
avoid false statement Inclining [only] to Allāh, not associating
[anything] with Him. And he who associates with Allāh – it is as
though he had fallen from the sky and was snatched by the birds
or the wind carried him down into a remote place That [is so].
And whoever honors the symbols of Allāh – indeed, it is from the
piety of hearts For you the animals marked for sacrifice are
benefits for a specified term; then their place of sacrifice is at the
ancient House»[9]

May Allāh Ta’ālā keep us all steadfast upon the truth of Islām.
May Allāh Ta’ālā save us from falling into the trap of the
Abrahamic Religion- a trap designed to snatch our īmān. Āmīn

Al-Hāwī lil Fatāwā vol.2 pp.115-129 [Dār Al-Kutub Al-‘Ilmiyyah,

Translation: Perfection of the Bounty in Specifying Islam with

This Ummah

All praise is for Allāh Ta’ālā, may peace be upon His selected
messengers,

To proceed,

The following question was received: Can the previous Ummahs

be described as being ‘Muslim’ or not?

Response:

The scholars hold two views regarding whether ‘Islām’ can be

used to refer to every true [revealed] religion [prior to Islam], or,
is it specifically for this honorable Ummah. The preferred view
is the second one.

25
In the treatise that follows, I want to explain this matter in detail
by stating the preferred view and the answers to the issues that
are raised about it.

There are two well-known views of the scholars in this matter.

Many imāms have transmitted them. The first is that ‘Islām’ can
be used to refer to every true religion and it is not specific with
this Ummah.

The second view is that ‘Islām’ is specific to this Ummah. The

description of ‘Muslimīn’ is specific to the Ummah of
Muhammad sallallāhu ‘Alayhi wa sallam, and none of the previous
Ummahs are described with it, except for their Messengers. This
Ummah has been granted the honor of being described with an
adjective used for the Messengers out of honor and reverence for
them. This view is the preferred view in terms of transmission
and its proof. It stands upon a firm and resolute proofs. This
Ummah has been granted various specialties, none of these were
given to previous nations, except the Messengers.

From these specialties is wudū’. This is a specialty of this

Ummah. None of the previous nations would perform wudū’,
except the Messengers.

Wahb Ibn Munabbih said, “Indeed Allāh sent revelation to

Dāwūd in the Zabūr: ‘O Dāwūd, indeed a Nabī will come after you.
His name will be Ahmad.’ The narration continues, ‘His Ummah
is marhūm, i.e., mercy is shown upon them. I shall recompense
them to a similar degree that I give to the Messengers for
optional deeds. I have obligated them with the actions that I have

26
made obligatory upon the Messengers. They will come on the
Day of Qiyāmah and their light will be like the light of the
Messengers. This will be because I made it obligatory upon them
to purify themselves for every Salāh, just as I made it obligatory
upon the Messengers before them. I have made a purificatory
bath compulsory upon them from major impurity, just as I have
made it compulsory upon the Messengers before them. I have
commanded them to perform Hajj just as I commanded the
Messengers before them and I have commanded them to engage
in Jihād just as I have commanded the Messengers with the same
before them.”

Proofs for the Preferred View

Proof One:

«And strive for Allāh with the striving due to Him. He has chosen
you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It
is] the religion of your father, Ibrāhīm. Allāh named you
“Muslims” before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation]
that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be
witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give zakāh
and hold fast to Allāh. He is your protector, and excellent is the
protector, and excellent is the helper»[1]

One of the pioneers in Tafsīr, Ibn Zayd, said about this: ‘Allāh
Ta’ālā did not mention the word ‘Islām’ except with this Ummah
and we have not heard of an Ummah spoken of with ‘Islām’
beside them.’

The same is narrated by other leading scholars in Tafsīr.

27
Proof Two:

«Our Rabb, and make us Muslims [in submission] to You and from
our descendants a Muslim nation [in submission] to You. And
show us our rites and accept our repentance. Indeed, You are the
Accepting of repentance, the Merciful»[2]

«Our Rabb, and send among them a messenger from themselves

who will recite to them Your verses and teach them the Book and
wisdom and purify them. Indeed, You are the Exalted in Might,
the Wise.”»[3]

Note: The Messenger in the above verse refers to Sayyidunā

Muhammad sallallāhu ‘Alayhi wa sallam by consensus.

Proof Three:

« This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed
My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion»

Note: This verse is clear in specifying Islām with this Ummah.

Proof Four:

«Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and

light. The prophets who submitted [to Allah] judged by it for the
Jews»[4]

Note: Islām was the adjective for the Messengers (from before),
not their nations.

28
Proof Five:

«Ibrāhīm was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one

inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allāh]. And he
was not of the polytheists»[5]

Note: This verse proves that the Sharī’ah of Mūsā ‘Alayhi as-
salām was called Yahūdiyyah. The Sharī’ah of ‘Isā ‘alayhi as-
salām was called Nasrāniyyah. The Sharī’ah of Ibrāhīm ‘Alayhi as-
salām was called Hanīfiyyah. It was with Hanīfiyyah that
Muhammad sallallāhu ‘Alayhi wa sallam was sent. From this, it is
clear that the Jews and Christians were never called this. Their
Sharī’ahs were never referred to as ‘Islām’, and none were ever
called ‘Muslim’. Hence, when a person will embrace the
teachings of other religions, he will not be referred to as a
Muslim, because his Hanīfiyyah has been distorted, tainted, and
disfigured.

Proof Six:

«They say, “Be Jews or Christians [so] you will be guided.” Say,
“Rather, [we follow] the religion of Ibrāhīm, inclining toward
truth, and he was not of the polytheists.”[6]

Proof Seven:

«O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Ibrāhīm

while the Torah and the Injil were not revealed until after him?
Then will you not reason?»[7]

Note: The Jews of Madinah Munawwarah argued and felt that

Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi as-salām passed away as a Jew. In this verse, Allāh

29
Ta’ālā denies this, as the Torah was revealed after him. Hence,
Judaism came after him. Similarly, Christianity came about after
the Injil, which was also after Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi as-salām. Just as the
Jews of old created a false image of a great Messenger, they try
the same today too. Every thinking Muslim must strive and see
beyond the façade of the newfound Abrahamic Religion.

Proof Eight:

«Say, “I have submitted myself to Allah [in Islam], and [so have]
those who follow me.” And say to those who were given the
Scripture and [to] the unlearned, “Have you submitted
yourselves?” And if they submit [in Islam], they are rightly
guided; but if they turn away, it is only the [duty of] notification
upon you. And Allah is Seeing of [His] servants»[8]

Note: This verse clearly points out that Islām is specific with this
religion, i.e., the religion we follow.

Proof Nine:

Rasulullah sallallāhu alayhi wa sallam said, ‘By Him in Whose

control is the life of Muhammad, whoever in the Ummah hears
about me, whether Jew or Christian, but does not affirm his belief
in that with which I have been sent and dies in this state of
disbelief, he will be one of the denizens of hell-fire.’[9]

Note: The endpoint of a person is considered by Allāh Ta’ālā in

the hereafter. This is the reason why those with a clean and safe
heart are said to be the fortunate ones. Falling for and promoting

30
a foreign idea under the pretext of unity is thorough deception.
Period.

Proof Ten:

All the people from the time of the Sahābah radiyallāhu ‘anhum,
and the generations that followed, the jurists, the scholars of all
sciences, even the women and children in the home, and even
the Jews, Christians and Magians agree upon the fact that
whoever follows the religion of Musa ‘alayhi as-salām will be
called Yahūdī, whoever follows the religion of ‘Isā ‘alayhi as-
salām will be called Nasrānī and whoever follows the religion of
Sayyidunā Muhammad sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam is called a
Muslim.

Note:

Islām is a complete system of life, encapsulating every sphere of

human existence. It is founded upon resolute grounds with a
pure and pristine divine text and rational guidance for humanity
until the end of time. It is unique in its structure and system and
has the capacity to withstand the attacks of modern reformists,
just as it has been holding firm against the deviated sects for the
last 1443 years.

Islām, as the name suggests, requires that man submits himself

to Allāh Ta’ālā and the teachings of Rasūlullāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi
wa sallam. When the most intelligent mind will delve deeper and
deeper into the Noble Qur’ān, he will definitely find oceans upon
oceans of knowledge that he has not yet analyzed. This causes
the faith of a person to become stronger. On the other hand,

31
when a scholar, intellectual or any think tank grasps onto
ideology based on desire or falsehood, thinking it to be rational,
beautiful, and progressive, he will be met with the incapacitating
effect within the Noble Qur’an and blessed Sunnah, making him
submit at some point. That is Islām.

Now, it stands to reason that when faced with an idea of a

newfound religion, like with the Abrahamic Religion being
promoted, by even ‘scholars’, it must be based entirely on hawā’
and must raise eyebrows at every level.

Once a person has embraced Islām, he comes under the umbrella

of protection within its beautiful and unique structure. He must
now guard his prized possession of faith and promote his unique
beliefs, practices, and dress code. How about realizing that living
with an inferiority complex of Islām is depressing and
distressing?

Once a lion is born, it does not envy the bleating of the sheep.

NOTE: Those who, in the times of previous Messengers, believed

and practiced the divine scripture of the time will be rewarded
and classified as good doers. This is established from Sūrah Al-
Baqarah, verse 62.

Their belief does include them among those who submit, but
they are not referred to as Muslims in terms of their title and
name.

The Abrahamic Religion has raised eyebrows and has definitely
caused a stir in recent times.

This is a new theology that claims all religions and theological

beliefs from all self-identifying Jews, Christians, and Muslims are
valid and true.

Whatever the aims and objectives of this new false ideology

might be, it is definitely something to be wary about and all
Muslims must be on their guard against it. It is basically a trap
for Muslims designed to rob them of their faith and accept
everything that was wholeheartedly opposed before.

If we look into history, we find that many modern ideologies we

face now have precedent in the past. We find two cases in the
rich history of Islām where ideologies resembling this modern-
day Abrahamic Religion had come up.

Case 1: The Evil Religion of Pir Kaleja during the Ottoman Empire
Rule

Muhammad Chalabi was the fifth ruler of the Ottoman Empire.

He ruled from 1413 CE to 1421 CE. It was during his time that a
terrible fitnah, resembling the Abrahamic Religion, had arisen.

Badr-ud-Dīn Mahmūd was a judge in the army of Prince Mūsā –

the brother of Muhammad Chalabi. He was exiled to Iznik due to
his role in an uprising against the Ottoman state. While in exile,

34
he organized another revolt. To strengthen the popularity of the
revolt, he invented a new religion. In this religion, Christians
were accepted as equal believers to Muslims. In this way, he was
able to rally many Christians against the Ottoman state.

Badr-ud-Dīn most significant work is titled Varidat, in which he

writes:

“This world and the next, in their entirety, are imaginary

fantasies; heaven and hell are no more than the spiritual
manifestations, sweet and bitter, of good and evil actions.”

A significant number of principles of this religion were founded

in Mazdakism, an offshoot of Zoroastrianism.[1]

Later, Pir Kaleja had joined Badr-ud-Dīn Mahmūd and began

propagating this religion. In a short while, a large number of
ignoramuses were caught in its trap. In short, his followers
became so many that they posed a threat to the Ottoman Empire.
The followers would refer to Pir Kaleja as Dādā Sultān.

Muhammad Chalabi came to know about this, so he sent the

governor of Bulgaria to deal with the situation. The governor of
Bulgaria was Sīsmīn. He had happily embraced Islām. However,
he was defeated and subsequently killed in the battle against Pir
Kaleja.

Bāyazīd Pāshā took the Turk army and went out against Pir
Kaleja. Pir Kaleja was captured and many of his followers were
killed. Maulānā Sa’īd, a student of Taftāzānī rahimahullāh, had

35
issued a fatwā about this religion and through it, this fitnah was
ended.

Case 2: Dīn-e-Ilāhī[2]

During the late 16th century (1582), the Mughal Emperor, Akbar,
formulated his own religion. It borrowed heavily from
Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Catholicism.
Its members were handpicked by Akbar and it had no scriptures
or priestly hierarchy. The ideas of Akbar led to the creation of
the ‘Ibādat Khāna, to which priests and scholars of all religions
were invited.

In this case too, it was the scholars of Islām that rose to the
occasion to refute this fitnah. The celebrated scholar of Islām,
Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi rahimahullāh[3] dealt this fitnah a heavy
blow. He was later known as Mujaddid Alf-Thānī for his
tremendous work done for the preservation and protection of
pristine Islām.

Aurangzeb, a later righteous ruler, had a strong link and

connection with the genuine Muslim scholars of the day.
Aurangzeb ruled for 49 years and had established the Islāmic
Sharī’ah fully in the area under his jurisdiction.

Through His wisdom, Allāh Ta’ālā tests us. It is His will to sift the
true from the false, the genuine from the fake, and the believer
from the hypocrite.

Do the people think that they will be left to say, “We believe” and
they will not be tried? But We have certainly tried those before

36
them, and Allāh will surely make evident those who are truthful,
and He will surely make evident the liars. [Sūrah Al-‘Ankabūt: 2-
3]

And Allāh will surely make evident those who believe, and He
will surely make evident the hypocrites. [Sūrah Al-‘Ankabūt: 11]

The religion of Islām has been revealed to blot out falsehood and
guide humanity to the worship of one Allāh. This reality has
proven itself repeatedly throughout history. Hence, with every
new wave of fitnah, the religion of Islām will still overpower the
hearts and minds; it will never be subdued in totality. The
promise of Allāh Ta’ālā is true; the Muslims must stand up with
the truth they have and use it to defend Islām from the modern-
day onslaught of the proponents of perennialism and the
Abrahamic Religion.

It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion

of truth to manifest it over all religion, although those who
associate others with Allāh dislike it. [Sūrah As-Saff: 9]

38
All praise is for Allāh Ta’ālā, Who has blessed us with an
illustrious chain of pious and brilliant scholars, who form the
backbone of our tradition. Mawlānā Muḥammad Idrīs
Kāndehlawī raḥimahullāh had addressed the flawed ideologies of
his time, refuting the concept of using the blessed Sīrah to score
political points. He paved the path for us to follow; to protect the
pristine Sīrah and stand as servants of Islām; to protect it and
allow for it to be practiced properly until the end of time.

He discussed the Madīnah Charter in his celebrated Sīrat-ul-

Muṣṭafā and responded to the weak-minded people who fell into
and were chanting slogans that, in essence, would have led to
serious problems like blasphemy and apostasy.

History repeats itself. This holds true in the case before us in

the newfound Abrahamic Religion, which is being trumpeted by
weak minded individuals and scholars who suffer from an
inferiority complex. The advocates of Interfaith and the
Abrahamic Religion are working ferociously, attempting to set
up their newfound falsity, looking to pass their time in their vile
attempt to scuttle the truth of Islām.

The Madīnah Charter has nothing to do with Interfaith. Period.

39
Despite this glaring reality, we find scholars in various parts of
the world, sounding the Interfaith call, and using the blessed
Sīrah of Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu alayhi wa sallam as their basis! To
Allāh do we belong and to Him is our return.

There are serious questions that arise from a deceitful attack on

the entire structure of Islām and the fabric of a Muslim society.
What benefit does a Muslim gain from subverting the Sīrah? Is
he not guilty of misrepresenting the greatest of the Anbiyā’
‘alayhim as-salām? What heart does a Muslim scholar have, and
what face will he have to show the Muslim Ummah when the
truth is laid bare?

What follows are the words of Mawlānā Muḥammad Idrīs

Kāndehlawī raḥimahullāh. Hopefully they will help us to gain an
understanding of the treaty that Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa
sallam had made with the Jews of Madīnah.

Quote (Sīrat-ul-Muṣṭafā):

The Madīnah Charter

The bulk of the population of Madīnah was made up of the ‘Aws

and Khazraj tribes. However, over time, a significant number of
Jews also settled in Madīnah. They had a number of Madrasahs
and educational institutes in Khaybar and Madīnah. They also
had a few fortresses in Khaybar. They were referred to as Ahl ul-
Kitāb (people of the scripture). Compared to the polytheists, they
enjoyed educational superiority and distinction in the land of

40
Ḥijāz. On the basis of their celestial scriptures, they were well
conscious of the conditions and attributes of the final messenger.

Allāh Ta‘ālā says: “They recognise him just as they recognise

their (own) sons.” However, they were not people of sound
disposition. Jealousy, pride, obstinacy and defiance were their
second nature.

Allāh Ta‘ālā says: “And they (the Jews) refuted it (the āyāt)
wrongfully and arrogantly even though their hearts were
convinced (of the truth).”

Even whilst Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam was in

Makkah, the Jews would persistently incite the Makkan Quraysh
against Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. The Jews would
often persuade the Quraysh to ask Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi
wa sallam about certain issues like the Aṣḥāb al-Kahf, the Rūh
(soul), Zul-Qarnain etc. When Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa
sallam migrated to Madīnah, this jealousy and defiance flared
even further. In due course they came to grips with the fact that
the days of their educational and academic superiority had
drawn to a close, and the deviants from amongst them trailed
their predecessors in flouting the truth. They elected to adhere
to the demeanour of the ‘people of Saturday’ (Aṣḥāb al-Sabt) and
the conduct of those who ‘assassinated the Prophets.’

The pious and those of sound disposition from amongst the

Rabbis and the learned divulged the prophecies of the final

41
messenger to their people and these selected few embraced
Islām. However, most of them preferred the route of defiance.
Jealousy and rebelliousness proved to be their downfall in this
path of righteousness.

In view of their jealousy and defiance and in order to contain

their civil strife, sedition and depravity, Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu
‘alayhi wa sallam decided to draw up a written treaty with them.
The idea behind this treaty was to at least ensure that their
opposition and defiance does not intensify any further and so
that the Muslims may be safe from their strife and depravity. The
Noble Qur’ān is replete with the evils and rabble-rousing of the
Jews. So, in order to contain this sedition and mischief from
swelling any further, Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa
sallam formed a treaty with the local Jews of Madīnah.

Five months[1] after his migration to

Madīnah, Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam established a
written treaty with the Jews of Madīnah in which he promised to
allow them to retain their Dīn, wealth and assets subject to
certain conditions. These will be discussed shortly.

For comprehensive details see Sīrat Ibn Hishām, volume 1, page

178, and Al-Bidāyah Wan-Nihāyah, volume 3, page 224.

A Summary of the Treaty

Treaty from Muḥammad, the unlettered Prophet, between the

Muslims of the Quraysh and Muslims of Madīnah and the Jews

42
who wish to ally themselves with the Muslims – that every
affiliate of the treaty will, whilst retaining his own faith, be
bound by the following conditions:

(1) Qiṣāṣ – and the ancient system of blood money – will be

retained with justice and integrity.

(2) With fairness, each member will be obliged to pay the ransom
of its own tribe. In other words, if a prisoner (of war) is to be
released by the payment of ransom, the obligation of payment
rests upon the tribe from which the prisoner hails.

(3) All members will remain committed against tyranny,

transgression, hostility and civil strife. There will be no
exceptions to this rule – even if the offender is the son (of one of
the leaders).

(4) No Muslim will be permitted to execute another Muslim in

retaliation of the murder of a disbeliever. Furthermore, no
disbeliever will be assisted against a Muslim.

(5) The lowest ranking Muslim will enjoy the same right to
sanctuary and refuge as that of the highest-ranking Muslim.

(6) The safety of Jews living under the Muslims will be the
responsibility of the Muslims. They will not be harassed or
tyrannised and their enemies will not be assisted against them.

(7) A polytheist or disbeliever will not have the right against

Muslims, to offer asylum to the lives and wealth of the Quraysh,

43
nor will he have the right to interfere between the Muslims and
the Quraysh.

(8) In times of war, the Jews will be obliged to support the

Muslims with their wealth and lives. They will not be permitted
to assist the enemy against the Muslims.

(9) If an enemy of Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam attacks

Madīnah, the Jews will be duty-bound to
assist Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

(10) From the tribes who are affiliated to this treaty, none will
have the right to withdraw from the obligations of this treaty
without the permission of Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa
sallam.

(11) Assistance or asylum to a trouble-monger will not be

permitted. He who assists or offers asylum to a Bid‘atī i.e., an
innovator, attracts the wrath and curse of Allāh. None of his good
actions will be accepted – right until Qiyāmah.

(12) If the Muslims enter into a peace treaty with anyone, the
Jews will also be obliged to observe the conditions of this treaty.

(13) He who murders a Muslim, and there is evidence to support

this, will be executed in Qiṣāṣ – except if the guardian agrees to
accept blood money etc.

(14) In cases of dispute, or mutual disagreement, matters will be

referred to Allāh and His Rasūl ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.[2]

44
The tribes[3] with which Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam
concluded this treaty included three major tribes of the Jews
who lived in and around Madīnah. These three tribes were Banū
Qaynuqā’, Banū Naḍīr and Banū Qurayzah. Since these three
tribes declined to comply with Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa
sallam, he entered into this treaty with them to staunch the
proliferation of their evil and mischief. However, all three tribes,
one after the other, violated the terms of the treaty and took
extensive part in their hostility and conspiracy against the
Muslims. They were thus punished for their misdeeds as
mentioned in the chapter dealing with military expeditions.

Abū ‘Ubayd writes in Kitāb-ul-Amwāl:

“This treaty was ratified before the injunction of jizyah (head tax
levied on non-Muslims living under Muslim rule). Islām was still
vulnerable and weak at that moment in time. Initially, the ruling
was that if the Jews join the Muslims in any military expedition,
they are to be given a percentage of the booty. This is why one
of the conditions of this treaty was that the Jews will be obliged
to share the burden of the expenditure incurred in these
campaigns.”

Note: The text of the treaty clearly indicates that this treaty
between the Muslims and the Jews was formulated in such a
manner that the Muslims will be dominant, and the Jews will be
subordinate to them whilst Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa
sallam will be the undisputed ruler between them. In cases of

45
dispute, all matters will be referred to Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu
‘alayhi wa sallam and his decision will be final.

This treaty was similar to the agreement between the Muslims

and Dhimmīs (non-Muslims living under Muslim rule), but it is
not exactly the same because this treaty was enacted in the very
early days of Islām’s supremacy and leadership. The era of
Islām’s supremacy commenced at the treaty of Hudaybiyyah and
at the conquest of Makkah. After failing to locate any verification
for their views from the Qur’ān and Sunnah, some Muslims who
fancy joining or supporting the Congress Party[4] try to use this
treaty to justify their political allegiance. This is grossly
incorrect because every article in this treaty – from beginning to
end[5] – verifies that the rule of Islām will remain dominant, and
that the non-Muslims will remain subjugated under the Muslims.
This condition is explicitly mentioned in al-Siyar al-Kabīr etc.
This is a new-fangled fabrication of those who advocate such
ostensible ‘unity’ between Muslims and Hindus, and such a sham
has no basis in Dīn whatsoever.

Notes

[1] The details of this treaty are mentioned in Sīrat Ibn

Hishām and Al-Bidāyah Wan-Nihāyah but no dates are mentioned
in these books. This timeframe of five months from the Hijrah is
extracted from Tārīkh-ul-Khamīs, volume 1, page 39.

[3] Ibn Isḥāq says:

Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam invited the Jews (to Islām)

when he set foot in Madīnah but (most of them) declined to
comply with him. So, he entered into a treaty with them. They
made up three tribes; Banū Qaynuqâ’, Banū Naḍīr and Banū
Qurayzah. However, these tribes, one after the other, violated
the conditions of the treaty.

[4] A somewhat non-religious political party in India that ruled

India for most of its democratic years after gaining
independence from Britain in 1947; and most Muslims on the
sub-continent lend their support to this party more for political
expedience than anything else.

End quote from Sīrat-ul-Muṣṭafā.

Signing accords and charters today to subvert Islām, and

misusing the Sīrah as a basis to do so, does not take anything
away from Islām. It only reflects and highlights the sell-out
nature of those who would do such a thing.

What kind of loyalty is this to Allāh Ta’ālā and His Rasūl

ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam?

47
A large number of people simply have no idea about the
objectives of the Abrahamic Religion, i.e., the Western-funded
plot that claims that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all one
religion.

Well, one of the major objectives of the Abrahamic Religion is to

sow confusion. To create and spread confusion and
discombobulation to the utmost degree. To twist the truth, to lie,
to deceive, and create such an obscuring haze around religion
that the common person – whether Muslim, Christian, Jew, or an
adherent of any other belief system – is left totally
dumbfounded, without a clue as to which way they should turn.

When a person is so utterly confused and disorientated, he or she

will turn to anything which may bring comfort and peace of
mind. Now, when al-Dajjāl – the Great Deceiver – arrives, he will
come with a message of comfort and peace of mind to all the
confused and misled people.

When we look closely at the Abrahamic Religion, we see and

understand everything about it to be deceit. People are being
deceived into accepting things which they never imagined they
would have ever subscribed to. In fact, they happily do the very
same things they strongly opposed just yesterday.

In brief, the main objective of the Abrahamic Religion is to create

confusion and pave the way to accept Dajjāl.

48
Muslims are being torn from the Noble Qur’ān, the Blessed
Sunnah, and everything associated with Islām on the basis of
deceit. They are deceived into accepting ideas about Islām which
have no basis in the Noble Qur’ān, but are rather based on
Modernist and Liberal ideas.

Modernism and Liberalism, along with slogans of ‘tolerance’ and

‘adab,’ are the tools peddled to Muslims in order to twist and
distort the truth, whereafter they embrace the Abrahamic
Religion deceit. If a person accepts, embraces, and adheres to the
Abrahamic Religion, he stands on no ground at all. He or she is
neither a Muslim, nor a Christian, nor a Jew, nor anything else.

Amid this torrid terrain, a person must either take the path of
Hudā, i.e., the guidance from Allāh Ta’ālā, or Hawā, i.e., his or her
desires and whims. Hudā will take a person to the truth and Hawā
will pave the path to destruction and annihilation. Once the faith
of a person is annihilated, he is ripe for al-Dajjāl’s picking.

May Allāh Ta’ālā save us all. Āmīn.

V

49
The Abrahamic Religion, with its sweet and lush slogan, as
promoted today, is founded upon deceit. Whilst the name and
catchphrase portray a sense of virtue, the reality is quite a
different story. The focus of this article is the slogan or catch-
phrase of this particular heresy.

In various parts of the world, the Abrahamic Religion is being

advertised with the slogan of ‘An Alliance of Virtue’. This is in
reference to the Fuḍūl Alliance that took place during the era of
ignorance, before the advent of Islām.

When Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam was

about fourteen or fifteen years old[1], there was a bitter war
fought among the Arab tribes. This war was referred to as the
Fijār war. Fijār means ‘wickedness’.

The reason for the name was that the sanctity of Makkah
Mukarramah was defiled and dishonored during the fighting,
which is why the people chose this name for the war. The
bloodshed and carnage were brought to an end by means of a
pact devised and agreed upon by Faḍl Ibn Fuḍālah, Faḍl Ibn
Wadā’ah, and Fuḍayl Ibn Ḥārith. This pact was subsequently
known as ‘Ḥilf-ul-Fuḍūl’, i.e., Alliance of Virtue.

The fighting that preceded the ‘Ḥilf-ul-Fuḍūl’ flared up between

the Kinānah and Ḥawāzin tribes. It started when the guarantee
of protection given by the Hawāzin was broken by the Kinānah.

50
Now, what link does this original basis have with the modern
proposition of the Abrahamic Religion? What justice is being
served by those who promote the so-called alliance of virtue
today? What fighting preceded the modern-day Abrahamic
religion concept? Is the original pact not being misrepresented
and taken totally out of context? What link with interfaith did
the Fuḍūl pact have?

Revival of the ‘Ḥilf-ul-Fuḍūl’

The Fuḍūl Alliance was revived by Zubayr Ibn ‘Abdul Muṭṭalib[2],

a conference was held in the house of ‘Abdullāh Ibn Jud’ān and
the participants were the Banū Hāshim[3] and the Banū Taym[4].
The participants of this pact or accord had pledged to assist the
oppressed at all cost, whether the oppressed was a resident or a
foreign visitor.

The revival of the Alliance of Virtue was based on helping the

oppressed at all cost. So, how are the promoters of the modern
Abrahamic Religion helping the oppressed? Have they pledged
to help the oppressed, or, are they giving a warped interfaith
message?

Going ahead, we find that Muslims are told of the Alliance of

Virtue, that Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi
wa sallam is reported to have said:

“I was present at ‘Abdullāh Ibn Jud’ān’s house when an alliance

was formed, i.e., the Fuḍūl Alliance. I would not love to have red
camels in place of it. If I were invited by it in Islām, I would
answer it.”[5]

51
Let us do some basic analysis. Was a pact undertaken by
Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam in
Islām that resembled the modern-day Alliance of Virtue, as
promoted by many Compassionate Imāms?

There exists no shred of evidence suggesting that Sayyidunā

Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam subverted
the Noble Qur’ān and the religion of Islām under the interfaith
pretext.

Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu alayhi wa sallam

signed treaties and pacts with the polytheists and Jews of his
time, but none of them entailed interfaith. None of the treaties
that Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu alayhi wa
sallam entered into entailed compromise and subverting of
Islām. Islām had reigned supreme each time and this will
continue to be the case, by the grace of Allāh Ta’ālā.

Moreover, when we look into the life of Sayyidunā Muḥammad

Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu alayhi wa sallam we find many cases of
taking pledges. The Muslims would pledge various things at the
hands of Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa
sallam. There is no pledge he personally took from the Muslims
where he bartered Islām and made compromises to Islām for the
sake of some ill-begotten interfaith unity, as is done today.

Examples of Pledges taken at the hands of Sayyidunā Muḥammad

Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam:

1. Sayyidunā Jarīr raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu reports that he pledged

allegiance at the hands of Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam

52
that he would establish ṣalāh, pay zakat, and wish well for every
Muslim.[6]

2. Sayyidunā ‘Auf Ibn Mālik Ashja’ī raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu reports that

he pledged allegiance to Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam
in the company of seven, eight or nine people that they will
worship Allāh – without ascribing partners to Him, to perform
the five daily obligatory ṣalāh and that they will not ask anything
from anyone.[7]

3. Sayyidah Umaymah bint Ruqayya raḍiyallāhu ‘anhā came to

Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam to pledge allegiance to
Islām. Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said to her:

“I require you to pledge that you shall not ascribe any partner to
Allāh, not to steal, not to fornicate, not to kill your child, not
come forth with slander which you fabricate between your
hands and legs, not to wail at the death of anyone and not to
make a show of yourselves as women would do during the era of
ignorance.”[8]

4. Pledge Given to Sayyidunā ‘Uthmān raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu – The

Third Rightly Guided Khalīfah: Salīm Abū Āmir raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu
reports that a delegation from Hamrā came to Sayyidunā
‘Uthmān raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu and pledged allegiance that they
would not ascribe anything as a partner to Allāh, they would
establish ṣalāh, pay zakāt, fast during Ramaḍān and forsake the
festivities of the fire-worshippers. Sayyidunā ‘Uthmān
raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu would only accept their pledge after they
agreed to all the clauses.[9]

53
The wayward and lost who feel that the Abrahamic Religion is
something of worth and the catch-phrase holds some weight
must do some serious thinking. The only religion accepted in the
sight of Allāh Ta’ālā is Islām. Period. The ‘Alliance of Virtue’
slogan and call is nothing but deception. The Abrahamic Religion
is a sure way to lose one’s true and genuine īmān. By embracing
the Abrahamic Religion, in essence, one sells his or her religion
for a paltry worldly gain, either wealth or name and fame. May
Allāh Ta’ālā save us all from falling into the trap. Āmīn

By Shaykh Muḥammad al-Ḥasan ibn al-Dadaw ḥafiẓahullāh[1]

“The only religion in the sight of Allāh Ta’ālā is Islām.

Allāh Ta’ālā says:

َّ‫اَلسل ُم‬
َِّ َِّ‫اِّل‬ ‫إنََّّ ل‬
َّ ََّّ‫ادلِينََّّعِند‬ ِ
«Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allāh is Islām»[2]

Whoever seeks any other religion is misguided and a deviant;

such a person is heading to the hell-fire.

Allāh Ta’ālā says:

ُ ً ‫ومنََّّيبت َِّغَّغيََّّاَلسل َِّمَّد‬

َّ‫اِسين‬ َّ ِ ََّّ‫ِيناَّفلنََّّ ُيقبلََّّمِن َُّهَّوهو‬
ِ ِ ‫فَّاْلخِرَّة َِّمِنََّّاۡل‬ ِ
«And whoever desires other than Islām as religion – never will it
be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among
the losers»[3]

Allāh Ta’ālā had taken a covenant with Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm

‘alayhi as-salām, Sayyidunā Mūsā ‘alayhi as-salām, Sayyidunā ‘Isā
‘alayhi as-salām, and the rest of the Messengers—that when
Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam will be
deputed, they would follow and support him.

56
Allāh Ta’ālā says:

ُ ُ ُ
ََّّ‫اِّل َّمِيثاقَّ َّانلب ِ ليِيَّ َّلما َّآتي ُتكمَّ َّمِنَّ َّكِتابَّ َّوحِكمةَّ َّثمَّ َّجاءكمَّ َّر ُسول‬
َُّ َّ َّ‫ِإَوذَّ َّأخذ‬

ِ ِ ‫ِن َّب ِ َّهَِّوتلنۡصن َّه َّقالَّ َّأأقررتمَّ َّوأخذتمَّ ََّعَّ َّذل ِكمَّ َّإ‬
ُ ُ
َّ‫قالواَّأقررناَّقالََّّفاشه ُدواَّوأناَّمعكمََّّمِنََّّالشاهِدِين‬
«And [recall, O People of the Scripture], when Allāh took the
covenant of the Messengers, [saying], “Whatever I give you of
the Scripture and wisdom and then there comes to you a
messenger confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in
him and support him.” [Allāh] said, “Have you acknowledged and
taken upon that My commitment?” They said, “We have
acknowledged it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you
among the witnesses.”»[4]

ُ ُ ُ
َّ‫فمنََّّتولََّّبعدََّّذل ِكََّّفۡأولئِكََّّه َُّمَّالفاسِقون‬
«And whoever turned away after that – they were the defiantly
disobedient»[5]

ً ُ
ًَّ ‫ض َّطو‬
َِّ‫َع َّوكرها َِّإَوَله‬ َّ ِ ‫ف َّالسماواتَِّ َّواّلر‬ َُّ ‫اِّلِ َّيبغونَّ َّو‬
َّ ِ َّ َّ‫َل َّأسلمَّ َّمن‬ َّ َّ ‫ِين‬
َِّ ‫أفغيَّ َّد‬
َّ‫يُرج ُعون‬
«So is it other than the religion of Allāh they desire, while to Him
have submitted [all] those within the heavens and earth,
willingly or by compulsion, and to Him they will be returned?»[6]

57
Allāh Ta’ālā had completed the religion for the people of the
world with Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
He said to him:

ُ
ً ‫ك َُّمَّاَلسلمََّّد‬ ُ ُ ُ
‫ِينا‬ ِ َّ ُ ‫ض‬
‫يتَّل‬ ِ ‫تَّور‬ َّ ُ ‫تَّلكمََّّدِينكمََّّوأتمم‬
َّ ِ ‫تَّعليكمََّّن ِعم‬ َّ ُ ‫أكمل‬
« This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed
My favor upon you and have approved for you Islām as
religion»[7]

Allāh Ta’ālā also says:

َّ‫وخاتمََّّانلب ِ ليِي‬
« and last of the prophets»[8]

There is no Nabī or Messenger after Sayyidunā Muḥammad

Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. There will be no
revelation (waḥī) after him, to anyone of the world. When
Sayyidunā ‘Isā Ibn Maryam ‘alayhi as-salām will be sent to the
world before the Final Hour, he will rule according to the religion
of Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Allāh
Ta’ālā has taught him the book and the Sunnah. Ḥikmah in the
verse of the Noble Qur’ān refers to the Sunnah. He will not rule
according to the religion that was given to him, nor will he judge
by the Injīl—the Scripture given to him. Rather he will rule and
judge by the Noble Qur’ān which was revealed to Sayyidunā
Muḥammad ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam; and the Sunnah of

58
Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam that is
proven from him.

There are people trying to please the Jews and Christians by

changing Islām and creating a new religion based on their
desires. All of this falls under the scope of the verse:

ُ
‫ودَّولََّّانلصارىَّحتََّّتتبِعََّّمِلت ُه َّم‬
َّ ‫ولنََّّترضََّّعنكََّّاَل ُه‬
«And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until
you follow their religion»[9]

The fate of such a venture is nothing but loss and failure. A

Muslim will never be convinced by such things. The Muslims do
not have doubt in their religion.”

Translator’s Note:

Alḥamdulillāh for the greatest bounty of Islām and īmān.

Through His infinite grace and mercy, Allāh Ta’ālā has perfected
Islām and is pleased with it for humanity—until the end of time.
In verse 3 of Sūrah Al-Mā’idah, Allāh Ta’ālā uses the word ‘raḍītu’,
i.e., I am pleased.

Similarly, an authentic report of Sayyidunā Abū Sa’īd Al-Khudrī

raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu from Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh
ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam states:

59
“He who says ‘I am pleased [raḍītu] with Allāh as my Rabb, with
Islām as my religion, and Muḥammad as the Messenger, Jannah
will be compulsory for him’.”[10]

In simple terms, O Muslims of the world, whenever you hear

about the Abrahamic Religion, then state happily, clearly, and
loudly:

Raḍītu billāhi rabban,

wa bil Islāmi dīnan,
wa bi Muḥammadin Rasūlā.

This will, in shā Allāh, break the backs of all those who promote
the Abrahamic Religion, under whatever pretext it may be. May
Allāh Ta’ālā bless all the Muslims of the world with true faith in
Him, and everlasting success with His pleasure in Jannah. Āmīn.

The Moghul Emperor – Akbar – founded his own religion, called
Dīn-e-Ilāhī in 1582. The Dīn-e-Ilāhī was a synthesis of Jainism,
Hinduism, Islām, and Zoroastrianism. Akbar took parts from
each of the religions and amalgamated them.

Akbar established the ‘Ibādat Khāna, or, House of Worship, for

conducting religious debates and discussions among theologians
and professors of different religions. These discussions led the
emperor to believe that there is no absolute truth and
culminated in the creation of his new faith.

Let us fast forward to today, where the Abrahamic House has

been set up, ostensibly to build bridges and create harmony
between Islām, Christianity, and Judaism, for the purpose of
peaceful co-existence. The Abrahamic House, located in Abu
Dhabi ‘will be a place for learning, dialogue, and worship.’

Just as Akbar set his ‘Ibādat Khāna up for discussions, the

Abrahamic House will host dialogue between the three religions
(Islām, Christianity, and Judaism). A fourth space has been
allocated in the Abrahamic House for those not affiliated with
any specific religion.

The idea behind the Abrahamic House is to cause the Muslims,

Christians, Jews, and adherents of other faiths, to be first
confused about their own religions, and then, to embrace a new

62
religion, just as Akbar was led to believe that there is no absolute
truth.

It is interesting to note that the idea of a multi-Faith prayer room

has been trending under our noses, and it has been successfully
created in various places too.

Added to this is the ifṭār parties attended by people of different

faiths.

These multi-Faith venues and activities must be scrutinized in

the light of what they are designed to promote. For decades
already, Muslims have been in the headlines of news agencies
throughout the world. I highly doubt that the Christian and
Jewish world is not aware of Islāmic practices like ṣalāh and
fasting. Hence, we understand that the trap behind the multi-
Faith prayer room is to lure Muslims into places where
polytheism is practiced and where they should never attempt to
go to for seeking guidance.

The project is now being speeded up, with the plot to turn
Muṣallas and Masājid into multi-Faith prayer halls, by hosting
Open Days and other functions, designed to pull the non-
Muslims into the venue under the guise of da’wah.

After Muslims were led to believe that Masājid are super-

spreaders of viruses, causing them to dislike and go less
frequently to the houses of Allāh, they are now being
programmed into believing that the Masjid can host polytheistic
practices and worship of things other than Allāh Ta’ālā can take

63
place in it. We seek the refuge of Allāh Ta’ālā from such warped
and distorted understanding.

The Masājid are for Allāh Ta’ālā only

‫َِّّلَِّفلَّتد ُعواَّمعَّاِّلَِّأح ًدا‬

ِ ‫جد‬ِ ‫وأنَّالَّمسا‬

«And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allāh, so do not
invoke with Allāh anyone»

The verse above is clear in its purport, and so are the scholars of
Tafsīr in their explanation of it. According to Mujāhid
raḥimahullāh, the Jews and Christians would include partners to
Allāh Ta’ālā in their worship, when they entered their Churches
and Synagogues. Allāh Ta’ālā instructed his messenger and the
Muslims that they should keep their worship and supplication
when they enter the Masājid, solely for Allāh Ta’ālā.

Muslims must be on their guard at all times in this regard. We

live in an era when the target is Islām, the Muslim, the Masjid,
Islāmic dress, Islāmic practices, and laws. All attempts to turn the
Masjid into a multi-Faith prayer hall must be thwarted and
stopped at all cost.

May Allāh Ta’ālā protect the Muslims and the Masājid in all parts
of the world. Āmīn

64
While it is true that after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah a significant
amount of people embraced Islam in comparison to the years
before it was signed, this fact of Islamic history is currently being
misrepresented by modernists and the interfaith movement.

The Modernists’ line of thought is indicative of the idea that the

Accords and Charters that have been signed by religious leaders
are in keeping with the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, and that many
people will embrace Islām.

Firstly, Modernists are no strangers to controversy, nor are they

estranged from introducing un-Islāmic concepts to the public
under the guise of Islām.

Secondly, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah cannot be misused by

people, or misrepresented by Muslims to justify Interfaith
activities. Rasūlullāh sallāllahu alayhi wa sallam did not engage
in interfaith iftārs, Masjid Open Days, and other functions under
the guise of da’wah. Assuming this for Rasūlullāh sallāllahu
alayhi wa sallam is attacking his honour and attributing a lie to
him.

Thirdly, after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, Muslims enjoyed

peace, and lived without previous hostilities. On the other hand,

65
after the signing of the Abrahamic Accord and related Charters,
Muslims in Palestine are facing increased hostilities and attacks,
whilst the rest of the Ummah are being forced into a situation
where they are being dictated to as to what kind of Islām they
should be practising.

Fourthly, yes, many people embraced Islām after the Treaty of

Hudaybiyyah, but true, genuine and pristine Islām. On the other
hand under the pretext of Da’wah, people are leaving the fold of
Islām by participating in interfaith activities. Bear in mind that
interfaith itself is a term used to denote equality of religions.

Fifthly, Rasūlullāh sallāllahu alayhi wa sallam did enter into

treaties with non-Muslims, with the aim of achieving benefit for
the Muslims and Islām. On the other hand, Modernists enter into
treaties and accords with the aim of bartering Islām for a few
silver coins, and added brownie points.

May Allāh Ta’ālā save us from going astray. Āmīn

66
1. One of the principles of belief in Islām, which is
established through consensus, is that there is no true
Dīn, i.e., religion and way of life, except Islām. It is the
final religion and it abrogates every previous religion,
faith, or creed.
2. The fundamental principle regarding the Noble Qur’ān is
that it is the final scripture. It cancels every previous
scripture revealed before it (the Taurāt, the Zabūr, and
the Injīl etc.).
3. It is binding upon Muslims to believe that previous
scriptures have been cancelled and abrogated, and these
scriptures have went through change and alteration at
the hands of man. Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam
once became very angry when he saw Sayyidunā ‘Umar
Ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu reading a page from the
Taurāt.
4. It is a fundamental belief in Islām that Sayyidunā
Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam is the
final messenger. If there was any of the Messengers alive,
they would have no option but to follow Sayyidunā
Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
When Sayyidunā ‘Īsā ‘alayhi as-salām will descend in the
end times, he will rule according to the sharī’ah of

67
 Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa
sallam.
5. Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa
sallam has been sent to the entire humanity until the end
of time.
6. It is a fundamental of Islāmic creed that it is binding to
believe that whoever amongst the Christians, Jews, or
other religions, does not embrace Islām, then that person
is a disbeliever, and will enter hell-fire if he does not
submit.
7. In the same way, the person who does not observe other
religions as disbelief, he will become a disbeliever
himself.
8. It is a filthy idea to conceive that all religions can be
embraced as one and equal. The objective of this call is to
mix the truth with falsehood. The goal is to destroy Islām.
9. The effect of the call to unite the religions is to break the
barrier standing between Islām and disbelief; the barrier
between truth and falsehood; the barrier between right
and wrong.
10. If a Muslim calls to the unity of religions, he will leave the
fold of Islām. The call to unite the religions clashes with
the fundamental beliefs of Muslims.
11. If a Muslim is pleased with the unity of religions and calls
to it, he is, in reality, claiming his happiness with
disbelief, and he nullifies the veracity of the Noble
Qur’ān.

68
12. It can never be permitted for a Muslim to adopt the
interfaith line of thought or implement it practically.
Likewise, it can never be permitted for a Muslim to
participate in interfaith activities and charters.
13. A Muslim can never print the Taurāt and Injīl on their
own. So how can it ever be permitted to print the Noble
Qur’ān with the previous scriptures in a single volume?
Whoever does this or calls to it is in serious deviation.
14. A Muslim can never accept an invitation to a multi-faith
prayer centre, because he will be stating that there is a
valid religion in which Allāh Ta’ālā is not worshipped. In
essence, by doing this, he is saying that Islām does not
cancel previous religions. It is quite clear that such an
attestation is clear disbelief and deviation.
15. One cannot say that a church, synagogue, temple, or
other place of worship is a Masjid or the house of Allāh
Ta’ālā, or that followers of other religions are
worshipping Allāh Ta’ālā, or their worship is accepted by
Allāh Ta’ālā. The places of worship other than the Masājid
are places where blasphemy in the name of Allāh Ta’ālā
is done.
16. Muslims are bound to call the Christians, Jews, Hindus,
Buddhists, and adherents of other faiths to the truth and
light of Islām. This can be done through calling them to
Allāh Ta’ālā, debating with them, giving them literature
and audios on Islām.

69
17. Interfaith activities display that one has come down to
their level and understanding that Islām is just a faith
amongst the faiths, we seek the protection of Allāh Ta’ālā.
18. Embracing interfaith creates major problems within the
home. A person is left without direction and marries, has
children, and interacts with others as a faithless person.
19. Living as an interfaith advocate creates havoc in society,
even in the case of a Christian or Jew. The interfaith
advocate will be roaming about in confusion, not
knowing how his own abrogated scripture will now
‘guide’ him because it clashes with the truth of Islām.
20. Islām has come to overpower every faith or religion.
Nothing but Islām is accepted by Allāh Ta’ālā. May Allāh
Ta’ālā save the entire Muslim Ummah from the
misguidance of the interfaith movement, the Abrahamic
Religion, and any idea or activity linked to it. Āmīn

70
The Abrahamic Religion, or, Abrahamia, is a concept being
promoted to amalgamate the three faiths; Islām, Christianity,
and Judaism. Interfaith advocates and their supporters seem to
be blinded by the reality that there is only one true religion in
the world today; Islām.

This collection of the blessed sayings of the final Messenger,

Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam
has a two-fold purpose. Firstly, to acquire the great reward
promised in the Aḥādīth for collecting forty Aḥādīth. Secondly,
to educate the Ummah about the fitnah of the Abrahamic
Religion in the light of the Aḥādīth. The Arabic title for this
collection is Hadyul Muṣṭafawiyyah fī radd ‘alā Al-Ibrāhīmiyyah.

As a Muslim will study the Aḥādīth closely, he or she will

understand that definitely there is no place for the Abrahamic
Religion in our minds and hearts. May Allāh Ta’ālā accept this
small broken effort and let it shine throughout the world for the
guidance of humanity until the end of time. Āmīn

Sayyidunā Abū Hurayrah raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu reports that

Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “During the end
times, there will be liars and swindlers that will come to you with

71
such aḥadīth that you or your fathers have never heard. Beware
of them, save yourselves from them, so that they do not lead you
astray or throw you into fitnah.”1

Sayyidunā Ibn Mas’ūd raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu reports that Rasūlullāh

ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “There was no Nabī that Allāh
sent before me to his nation, except that he had friends and
supporters from them that took his Sunnah and followed his
command. Then, there will be such incapable people that will be
born, they will say that which they do not do, and they will do
that which they do not command. Whoever strives against them
with his hand, he is a believer, whoever strives against them
with his tongue, he is a believer, whoever strives against them
with his heart, he is a believer. After this, there is not even a
mustard’s seed worth of faith.”2

Sayyidunā ‘Umar raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu reports that Rasūlullāh

duty to his master. A person who owned a slave woman, taught
her good etiquette and provided her with a sound education, he

‘alayhi as-salām came to Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam

angels, the books of Allāh, the Messengers, that you believe in
death and life after death, that you believe in paradise, hell fire,
the accounting of deeds, the scale (for the weighing of deeds),
and that you believe in fate – the good thereof and the bad
thereof.” He asked, “If I believe in all this, will I be a believer?”

him to do that. He abuses me while it is not proper for him to do
that. As for his rejection of me, he says that I will never bring him
back to life as I had created him the first time. As for his abuse of
me, he says, ‘Allāh has a child’, whereas I am self-sufficient, who
did not beget nor was begotten, and there is none equal to me’.”17

Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying, “People will
continue asking each other (about the essence of Allāh) to such
an extent that someone will say, “Allāh created all the creation,
but who created Allāh?” When they ask such a question, say,
“Allāh is One. Allāh is self-sufficient. Allāh did not beget nor was
he begotten. And there is none equal to him.” You should then
spit to your left side thrice and seek refuge from Shayṭān, the
accursed.”18

cast into Maryam, and a spirit from him, that paradise is true,
that hell fire is true, Allāh will admit him into paradise,

wrote a few comprehensive teachings from the Taurāt and gave
them to me. If you permit, I will read them to you.”

The face of Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam changed color.

So I, i.e., Sayyidunā Abdullāh Ibn Thābit raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu, said
to him, “O ‘Umar, don’t you see the anger on the face of
Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam?” ‘Umar immediately
realized his mistake and said, “We are pleased with Allāh as our
Rabb, with Islām as our religion, and with Muḥammad ṣallallāhu
‘alayhi wa sallam as a Messenger.”

On hearing these words, the effects of anger disappeared from

his face and he said, “I take an oath in the name of that being in
whose control is the life of Muḥammad, if Mūsā ‘alayhi as-salām
was present among you and you were to follow him and leave
me, you would go astray. From among all the nations, you have

deviation. Hold firmly on to the group and the main body (of
Muslims).”39
