Discourse given to his Fuqara at Masjid al-Mansoor,

Constantia, Cape Town,

17 June 2006

by Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi

Pharaoh said, Who then is your

Lord, Musa?

Pharaoh said, Who then is your

Lord, Musa?

He said, Our Lord is He Who gives

each thing its created form and thenguides it.

He said, What about the previous

generations?

He said, Knowledge of them is with

my Lord in a Book.

My Lord does not misplace nor does

He forget.

Pharaoh said, What is the Lord of all

the worlds?

He said, The Lord of the heavens and

the earth and everything betweenthem if you knew for sure.

He said, Your Lord and the Lord of

your forefathers, the previous

peoples.

He said, The Lord of the East and the

West and everything between them if

you used your intellect.

He said, Have you really thought

about what you worship,

you and your fathers who came

before?They are all my enemies - except for the Lord of all the worlds:

He Who created me and guides me;

He Who gives me food and gives me drink;

and when I am ill, it is He Who heals me;

He Who will cause my death, then give me life;

He Who I sincerely hope will forgive my mistakes

on the Day of Reckoning.

MIA 3 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

My Lord, give me right judgement and unite me with the Salihun; and make me highly

esteemed among the later peoples; and make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of

Delight; and forgive my father - he was one of the misguided; and do not disgrace me on

the Day they are raised up, the Day when neither wealth nor sons will be of any use -

except to those who come to Allah with sound and flawless hearts.

(Ta Ha 20:49-52, Ash-Shuara 26:23, 24, 26, 28, 75-89)

* * * * *

What these Ayats are really, are the answers that Sayyiduna Musa gave when questioned aboutAllah, subhanahu wa taala, by this Ruler. Now, what is important about this is to understand that

when you read Quran, you cannot fail to recognise that throughout it Allah, subhanahu wataala, tells you about the ancient peoples, He tells you how they collapsed, how they ran down,

ran out of steam how they came to an end. And they came to an end in specific ways that Hewarns us about.

But the important thing is that Allah, subhanahu wa taala, is doing two things by telling us this.

One is He is giving us the understanding of what is expected of the human creatures under Hiscommand, subhanahu wa taala. They are given a command from Allah, and it is their failure to

obey that command which brings about their destruction.

But the other thing you have to see is that what happened in these ancient times that Allah,subhanahu wa taala, narrates to us through the Quran, are things that have immediate meaning

for us now, because it is not a history book, it is a Revelation. It is a revealing of how Allah dealswith the human creatures, how He deals with people in the world of events throughout all of

time. So it goes from an ancient point in the past, but you also have to understand that this issomehow very important to you and to the time you live in.

If you look at it another way, what you could say is that the view in the Quran about human

events is the exact opposite of what you get when you turn on the news on television. Everythingin the news on television is burning ferocious hot moment this one has been assassinated,

these people have been murdered, this government has toppled, the police have crushed theuprising, and so on and so on all of this urgent immediacy. Every day you are given some new

shock. The perspective of the Quran is very different. It allows you to look at things with thesense that they themselves take the same place and the same rhythm as happened to these people

in ancient times.

Look now at what we see. Look at the beginning:

Pharaoh said, Who then is your Lord, Musa?


4/38

MIA 4 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

He said, Our Lord is He Who gives each thing its created form

and then guides it.

You see, the first question of Pharaoh is, Who? WHO is your Lord? And the answer is an

intimate answer, it is He Who gives each thing its created form, and then guides it. Now, if you

go back to the Arabic:


and then guides it.

The word for create is khalqahu, and the word for guide is hada, like huda. Our Lord is

He Who gives each thing its Khalq, its creational form, and then He guides it. Now, Allah,subhanahu wa taala, does not interfere with the creation, Allah RULES the creation. So the

guidance is not something that, as it were, descends, as some idolater would imagine: some god

descends and comes to the rescue, or like the ancient Greeks imagined: that the gods wouldswoop in and interfere. It is not like that. These two words are very important:


and then guides it.

The guidance is already built into the form, do you see? Allah does not interfere with the

creation. As Ibn al-Arabi said, Allah rules the creation from inside the creation. Remember, aform in the understanding of the Quran, and the Sufis understanding of the Quran which

confirms what they find in it, is that a created creature is not something which is created and thenthat is it finished and made. It is not a creature until it does what that creature does. The bird is

the one that sings a beautiful song, knows how to build its nest, knows its mating season, knowshow to go from one side of the world to the other side of the world every year all that is bird.

You have not got a bird until you have the whole process from the moment it comes into theworld until the moment it dies. Do you follow?

But this is true of the human being, and this is what we call the Destiny. What is the Ayat in

which Allah mentions having tied mans destiny around his neck?

Shaykh Abdarraheem Abdurrauf: Surat al-Isra, Ayat 13 and 14.

Recite that ayat:


5/38

MIA 5 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

We have fastened the destiny of every man about his neck

and on the Day of Rising We will bring out a Book for him

which he will find spread open in front of him.

Read your Book! Today your own self

is reckoner enough against you!

Look at the first line:

We have fastened the destiny of every man about his neck:

Alzamnahu means fastened. The verb is Lazama, which also means to make absolutelycompulsory. Go back to what we were looking at:


and then guides it.

It is He Who gives each thing its created form and then guides it, and that event is that described

in the other ayat, which says, We have fastened the destiny of every man about his neck, and onthe Day of Rising We will bring out a Book for him. So what the Mumin has to understand is

that he is created in a form that will make him do what he is going to do. The difference betweenthe kafir and the Mumin is that the Mumin knows, and the kafir knows and cannot bear to look.

He covers up.

In the famous Hadith, Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, was asked that if the camel is going toescape, what is the point of doing anything about it? Rasuls famous answer, sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam, was, Tether your camel and have Iman in Allah. In other words, you act by themaximum of your intellect, and trust that Allah is going to see that it goes with what your Niyyat

is. And if the Niyyat is smashed, then that again goes to another ayat (Al-Ankabut, 29:2):


6/38

MIA 6 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

Do people imagine that they will be left to say,

We have iman, and will not be tested?

The tests are like when you make the sword, you plunge it into red-hot coal and then plunge it

into water, and it is the opposites of these events that temper the steel and make it into a swordthat can cut. The destiny means you are going to meet these trials, and you are also going to meet

these openings and offerings.

Now, a man can be spoiled on getting the good time. Another man can be spoiled because hecannot handle the bad t ime. The strong Mumin is not distracted by the good times. Ibn Ataillah

says in his Hikam, Days of trial are an Eid for the Sufis. It means Allah is paying attention toyou, He is forming you, He is making you, He is cooking you! He has given you this form and

there is guidance in it. The Mumin takes the guidance, and the ignorant one does not take theguidance. The difference between the Mumin and the kafir is: both know, but the Mumin knows

it is from Allah and he accepts that it is from Allah. Alhamdulillahi ala kulli Hal All praise isdue to Allah in every state not just when things are good! Whatever happens, in every state,

Alhamdulillah. Then he has an inner equilibrium.

The first question of Pharaoh is Who? And the answer is this devastating reply. The next thinghe said is:

He said, What about the previous generations?He said, Knowledge of them is with my Lord in a Book.

My Lord does not misplace nor does He forget.

So Pharaoh asks, What about the previous generations? Do you see what is at issue here? Theseare tremendous matters. The Quran is a Revelation, you see, it is not like a pious christian book

of prayers, it has knowledge in it, it explains everything about how existence works. Pharaohasks, What about the previous generations? In other words, if this is true about you, what about


7/38

MIA 7 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

all of them? And his answer is, Knowledge of them is with my Lord in a Book. My Lord doesnot misplace nor does He forget.

Now go back to the second part of the Ayat in Surat al-Isra:

And on the Day of Rising We will bring out a Book for him

which he will find spread open in front of him.

Read your Book! Today your own self

is reckoner enough against you!

Now you see the tremendous weight of this. What is true about you is true about all the previous

peoples. In other words, everybody has gone through this process of test, from the time ofSayyiduna Adam and the two sons of Sayyiduna Adam. One son behaved in one manner, and the

other son behaved in another manner. But they were destined to it, they were designed for it.

Every time there is a flood, or a disaster, or a famine, you see all the christians, astaghfirullah,asking, Why does God allow this to happen? as if He was supposed to run a tight ship and

suddenly things had gone wrong and He was to blame, and it meant He was not compassionate,astaghfirullah! This is ignorance, these are the people who believe that the bread is flesh that the

wine is blood. It is primitive stupidity.

What it really means is: if it happened like this, then this is how it was to be. Rasul, sallallahu

alayhi wa sallam, has said, Famine is next to kufr. Darfur is next to kufr. If you have lost yourworship of Allah and your fear of Allah and your Iman in Allah, then you are going to end upwith this anarchy. It is not the fault of the government of Sudan, it is not the fault of the

government of Mali, or Chad. It is because people have stopped worshipping Allah, subhanahuwa taala.

When there is knowledge, people behave differently. A doctor coming on a man bleeding

behaves differently from an ignorant person, does he not? Because he knows what to do. But lifeis like that and you have to know what to do when these things happen that are the difficulties

of life. Shaykh Ibn al-Habib, rahimahullah, said, As far as I am concerned this whole world is ahospital, and the Shuyukh and the Salihun are the doctors and the nurses. In other words, the

ones who know what to do.

This is what you have to take on. This is what you take on by being Sufis, that you understandthis. Part of this is that you cannot find that what is happening inside your own household has a

prior importance and intensity and ferocity and seriousness than what is going on with yourneighbours and all the rest of the world. Do you follow? You have two things. One is, if there is

trouble inside the household, if there is trouble with you at a personal level, We have given eachthing its Khalq and We have given it Hada. So you say, I must take the guidance. I must put it


8/38

MIA 8 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

right. How do I put it right? I have been told how to put it right. Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, said, Anger is fire, if you become angry, water puts out fire do wudhu, that by the

mercy of Allah the anger will leave you. It will calm you down. It is something so simple, butno, people lose their tempers, people rush out, and they fight in the household. More terrible

things happen inside the household than happen in the battlefields. The guidance is there, but you

must take the guidance, you must see that your life is under this not microscope but beam, soto speak, of illumination, and you must take benefit from it.

Then, in a sense, it is as if Pharaoh were cornered. So he asks the next question:

Pharaoh said, What is the Lord of all the worlds?

He said, The Lord of the heavens and the earth

and everything between them if you knew for sure.

Pharaoh has said Who?, now he says, What? Do you see? He is trying to find a way out. That

is because the answer has cornered him. What it has actually done is it has taken his crown away.It has taken his royalty, his majesty away. It has made him a slave, a slave of Allah, it has made

him a slave of One that he cannot order and command One Who orders and commands him. Soto get out of it he says:

What is the Lord of all the worlds?

Remember, Rabb is almost always used in Quran specifically to indicate Allah in His role of

governance, in His role of being the One Who orders and commands the universe. Rububiyyat isa term that our fuqaha use to indicate the process by which Allah governs this incredible

harmony that we find in nature, how for example all the things in the forest have their balance.The tree is divided into three parts by the people who study these things: the creatures that live at

the top of the tree, the creatures who live in the middle of the tree and the creatures who livedown on the ground at the base of the tree. These are like three kingdoms; they interact

somewhat with one another but they also have their own domain.

It is this harmony of these things that is called Rububiyyat, that they all work together. Thehunter and the hunted, all the order in the ocean between the different types and levels of fish,

intelligence in the ocean, from the whale to these molluscs and tiny creatures which also have inthem an eye, this advanced secret of creation which is that they can see. The oyster has an eye,

and the eye is the highest thing of the human creature. All this harmony of existence isRububiyyat.

Pharaoh says, What is the Lord of all the worlds?


9/38

MIA 9 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

The answer is:

He said, The Lord of the heavens and the earthand everything between them if you knew for sure.

Inkuntum muqinin if you knew for sure. In other words it is a Rububiyyat of all the levels

of existence, and he says, if you knew for sure because it is a knowledge that is beyond ourunderstanding. A lot of things about the natural order have only been discovered in the last

hundred years. We are still finding plants in the Amazon, we are still finding washed-upcarcasses of live things from the earliest times; we thought they were creatures of the sea that

were extinct, but they are still turning up alive somewhere in some part of the ocean.

In other words, by the extent of your knowledge it is so, but if you knew for sure, the whole

thing is like this. There is not any bit of existence that is not under this command.

He said, Your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers,

the previous peoples.

Again look how important it is: he says, Your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers, the

previous peoples. In other words every society is under the command of Allah. This transactionhas been going on since the beginning of the human species. And then he says:

He said, The Lord of the East and the West

and everything between them if you used your intellect.

Now he says, The Lord of the East and the West and everything between them if you used your

intellect. If you do not use your intellect you will be kafir. You will say, I cannot deal with this,I will cover it up, which is of course what Pharaoh is about to do, because he cannot handle it.

This is a lack of intellect, it is not a superior intellect.

Again, you have to understand the importance of this. The Lord of the East and the West andeverything between them if you used your intellect. Now you find you are charged, as Mumin,

with this thing. This is what the intellect is for, to understand the nature of the human creature onthe face of the planet, in a specific place in a specific time with a destiny round his neck that has

to be fulfilled. That is not on the news on television. That is not the viewpoint of democracy. Wehave no social project. We have obedience to Allah, subhanahu wa taala, and it is embedded in

acts of worship and then in the command to be concerned about other people: the widow, theorphan and so on, as it says in Quran.


10/38

MIA 10 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

He said, Have you really thought about what you worship,

you and your fathers who came before?

Address this to the present-day atheists, and the christians. He said, Have you really thought

about what you worship, you and your fathers who came before? Have you thought about it?

They are all my enemies except for the Lord of all the worlds.

Sayyiduna Musa says this. In other words, worship belongs to Allah, subhanahu wa taala, and

He is the Lord of all the worlds.

He Who created me and guides me;He Who gives me food and gives me drink;





He then tells us that Allah is He Who created me and guides me this goes back to thebeginning. He Who gives me food and gives me drink. And when I am ill, it is He Who heals

me. Abu Bakr as-Siddiq was asked when he was ill, Who made you well? and he said, Thesame One Who made me ill. This is knowledge as opposed to ignorance.

The next part is, He Who will cause my death, then give me life. So the event of death is His

command, His decision, His time, His place in every situation: war, peace, city, desert. HeWho I sincerely hope will forgive my mistakes on the Yawn ad-Deen, on the Day of the

Transaction, on the Day of being presented the bill, of being presented the Book of the Life.When you can say that, then you are on the Sirat al-Mustaqim and you have strong Iman. Sirat

al-Mustaqim is not fastening your belt not to be frightened. Sirat al-Mustaqim is knowing this:the food is from Him, drink is from Him, when I am ill He heals me, He will cause my death,


11/38

MIA 11 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

and He will give me life, He will raise me up, and then I will come and I will have all this wholerecord to present to Allah, subhanahu wa taala.

Then this wonderful Dua:

My Lord, give me right judgement and unite me with the Salihun;

and make me highly esteemed among the later peoples;and make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Delight;

and forgive my father - he was one of the misguided;

and do not disgrace me on the Day they are raised up,

the Day when neither wealth nor sons will be of any use

except to those who come to Allah

with sound and flawless hearts.

So what we are asking for is Qalbin Saleem, and this is the Maqam of the Ahl as-Sufiyya, tohave Qalbin Saleem. This is why we gather every Saturday, it is to strengthen this inside

ourselves and to enrich ourselves in the Dhikr, and in going beyond ourselves in becomingintoxicated in the singing and the recitation of Quran.

* * * * *

That is just taken from two Suras, put together to show you, as it were, the answer of SayyidunaMusa to Pharaoh, and the obvious importance of this, because it repeats itself in different forms

to instruct us and to guide us. So we must take benefit from it. In itself it is like a Wazifa whichyou can recite and which is very beautiful. If someone becomes a new Muslim you could give it

to them, because really this is where we are, and that is where all the other people are. This iswhere we stand, and that is where everyone else stands somewhere else. But this is where we

stand. It is a very good thing for a new Muslim to be given: this is how we answer the people ofthe world and the forces of the world when they ask their question. This is our answer.

Quranic Commentary on Surat Ta Ha given to His Fuqara

at Masjid al-Mansoor, Constantia, Cape Town, 1 July 2006

by Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi

We will look at Surat Ta Ha. In the Warsh Riwayat it is Ayat 86 and goes all the way through to

Ayat 91. Then we will jump from that to Ayats 97 and 98.


14/38

MIA 14 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

Musa returned to his people in anger and great sorrow.

He said, My people, did not your Lord

make you a handsome promise?

Did the fulfilment of the contract seem too long to you

or did you want to unleash your Lords anger upon yourselves,

so you broke your promise to me?

They said, We did not break our promise to you

of our own volition.

But we were weighed down with the heavy loadsof the peoples jewellery and we threw them in,

for that is what the Samaritan did.

Then he produced a calf for them,

a physical form which made a lowing sound.

So they said, This is your god

and Musas god as well, but he forgot.

Could they not see that it did not reply to them

and that it possessed no power

to either harm or benefit them?

Harun had earlier said to them,My people! It is just a trial for you.

Your Lord is the All-Merciful,

so follow me and obey my command!

They said, We will not stop devoting ourselves to it

until Musa returns to us.

Then Ayats 97 and 98:


15/38

MIA 15 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

He said, Go! In the dunya you will have to say,

Untouchable!

And you have an appointment

which you will not fail to keep.

Look at your god to which

you devoted so much time.

We will burn it up and then scatter it

as dust into the sea.

Your god is Allah alone,

there is no god but Him.

He encompasses all things in His knowledge.

* * * * *

Now we go back to the beginning:

Musa returned to his people in anger and great sorrow.

Ibn Atiyya says in his Tafsir that the anger of Musa was that he wanted to change the people. He

was angry at what he knew had happened, and the sorrow was that he felt that the thing was outof his hands and could only be dealt with by Allah. He was sad that he could not put it right. In

other words, he could not impose the Shariat, so it would have to be dealt with by the Haqiqat, itwould have to be dealt with by Allahs power. But something told him that they were not going

to change.

Sayyiduna Musa said:

My people, did not your Lord

make you a handsome promise?


16/38

MIA 16 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

The handsome promise of Allah, subhanahu wa taala, is that obedience to Allahs Command hasa great reward a great reward in this world and a great reward in the Next World.

He saw that their action was a split. The jewish people were split from this understanding of the Divine.

This consciousness of Divine Power is that thing which separates the Muminun from the Kafirun. The

certainty of Allahs power is the dividing line. When people lose that they are in every sense kafir. They

are atheist. They have lost the connection. That is why we find at the beginning of Surat al-Baqara:

Alif Lam MimThat is the Book, without any doubt.

It contains guidance for those who have taqwa:

those who have iman in the Unseen.

It is for the people who believe in the Unseen, who know that the Unseen world dominates theSeen world and that Allah is governing the universe by unseen elements of His Ruhani heavenly

creation, and by His Command:

His command when He desires a thing

is just to say to it, Be! and it is.(Yasin, 36:82)

That is the Command of Allah to which everything in creation has to submit. Once this is lost by

man, then he has crossed the line, as it were, to be kafir. But, Did not your Lord make you ahandsome promise?

"Did the fulfilment of the contract seem too long to you

or did you want to unleash your Lords anger upon yourselves,

so you broke your promise to me?"

Look at the wisdom of Sayyiduna Musa, how he interprets this event that he is confronted with

on his return. He says: Did the fulfilment of the contract seem too long to you? In other words,


17/38

MIA 17 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

in living your lives, was that too long a span for you to hold to the understanding that Allah is theLord of the Universe? Was it too much for you to take it through your life? Because there is a

point in your life where you have dumped the whole thing.

Then he asks a strange question: Or did you want to unleash your Lords anger upon

yourselves? It is almost like a doctor or a psychiatrist. This Prophets insight into the situation isthat he sees a sickness, and what is that sickness? It is very significant. Did you want to unleashyour Lords anger upon yourselves? He is asking if there is something in you that made you

want to be punished by Allah, subhanahu wa taala, because you had lost what I call connectionwith the truth, with the contract that Allah is the Divine Ruler?

If you think about the history of the jews in our time, that whole question is the thing they dare

not allow to be asked. They put up all the barriers of saying, Anti-semitism! and that you mustnot attack them and so on, but the thing is did they want this terrible disaster to come down on

them? It did come down on them in the most horrific way, yet they could have escaped it butthey did not. That means that this disaster came on them by them, not by some outside forces.

The outside forces responded to that desire that they had to be punished:

Or did you want to unleash your Lords anger upon yourselves,

so you broke your promise to me?

In other words, the evidence that that was the case was the breaking of the promise of the Bani

Israel with their Messenger. When they broke the contract with Sayyiduna Musa, at that point,that was also the breaking of the contract with Allah, subhanahu wa taala, because Allah says

clearly in the Quran:

Obey Allah and obey His Messenger.

(Nisa, 4:59)

You cannot separate the two. Their Messenger at that time was Sayyiduna Musa, and the

breaking with him is their rejection of Tawhid and the Power of Allah, subhanahu wa taala.Then there is their astonishing answer:

They said, We did not break our promise to you

of our own volition.

This is unveiling the whole psychology of kufr and the Bani Israel. They said, We did notbreak our promise to you of our own volition. In other words, it was not that our will-power

decided to do this. Now we find out why:


18/38

MIA 18 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

But we were weighed down with the heavy loads

of the peoples jewellery and we threw them in,

for that is what the Samaritan did.

Then he produced a calf for them,

a physical form which made a lowing sound.

So they said, This is your god

and Musas god as well, but he forgot.

So they made a complete jump into idolatry. What is interesting is that they are making the break

with the power of Allah, subhanahu wa taala. Their disobedience of the Prophet SayyidunaMusa, alayhi salam, is that it was not by their intellect and their will that they chose to do this,but that they were weighed down with the enormous amount of wealth they had acquired by

what had happened previously with the Egyptians. So the great wealth that they had was thedistraction. This is what allowed them to get carried into this path saying, This is what the

Samaritan did. We know very little about this, and the correct Tafsirs are very specific becausethey do not want to look to the Torah for evidences we do not take evidence from it because it

has been tampered with but it seems that the Samaritan was from one of the tribes of the BaniIsrael and they were in conflict with the other tribes. So part of this trouble which came was from

their fighting each other. It was the fighting among themselves which was the seed of theirdisaster. Out of that was produced an idol which was like a calf and from other Ayats and the

Tafsirs it is assumed that it was made of gold and also that it made a lowing sound worthy of theHindus it was a real toy god!

Then they made the jump to try and connect Musa to this, saying that he had not realised that thisis how it was but he forgot. In every age you find people trying to soften the strength and

power of the Prophet by making out that he was easing into these sorts of things, which is whatin fact has happened in our time where the kuffar try to reinterpret the Message that has come

from the Rasul and the Revelation of Quran by saying that Islam means peace and tolerance,and all the mottos which are the mottos of the kafir system which cannot be and are not what was

taught by Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

Then it comes to the insight that the path they have taken does not produce results. The path ofkufr does not alleviate the position of the kafirun:


19/38

MIA 19 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

Could they not see that it did not reply to them

and that it possessed no power

to either harm or benefit them?

In this you see that what has happened to Bani Israel is that they have looked to a power which

actually does not rescue them. It does not have rescue in it. It does not harm them and it does notbenefit them. They have looked outwards to a rescue that is not there.

Harun had earlier said to them,

My people! It is just a trial for you.

Your Lord is the All-Merciful,

so follow me and obey my command!

They said, We will not stop devoting ourselves to it

until Musa returns to us.

In other words, their hope was that they would secund their Prophet to their plans.

Now we come to a very interesting Ayat:

He said, Go! In life you will have to say,

Untouchable!

And you have an appointment

which you will not fail to keep.

Look at your god to which

you devoted so much time.


20/38

MIA 20 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

We will burn it up and then scatter it

as dust into the sea.

Sayyiduna Musa dismisses them with a warning. He says, In life you will have to say,

Untouchable! but I do not agree with this translation, it really means, Dont touch me! So

at this point, Sayyiduna Musa fixes as the destiny of the jews for the rest of time on this earth,that they will say, Dont touch me! This is extraordinary, and it is a double-edged sword. Theywill say, Dont touch me! which means that the rest of humanity is coming to wipe them out,

in one aspect. In another aspect it means that they will get power and they will turn against allthe world and say, Dont touch me! Whichever way they get it they have lost the link with

Bani Adam. This dont touch me is a very important thing because it goes right into thechristian time of the Middle Ages and was one of the mottos of a great chivalrous family: Nolo

me tangere, meaning, Do not touch me or Ill finish you! which is what you are seeing inPalestine right now. Do not touch me or well wipe out all of you, because of one man.

It also means they have been split off from Bani Adam, from the rest of the human tribe. This is

extraordinary, and here it is in this moment when they chose instead to have this wealth and thisidolatry. Remember, the true nature of kufr, the break with kufr is not the denial of god so much

as the separation from all creation-events they are saying, They may be in His power,astaghfirullah, But my destiny is not in His power. Yet the essence of Tawhid is in the

recognition of the destiny.

What are the elements of Iman? They are belief in Allah, His Angels, His Books, HisMessengers, the Last Day and the Destiny, good and bad. Kufr is cutting that last bit off.

Elsewhere in Quran you will find that when asked, the Kafirun will say that Allah created theheavens and the earth. They will acknowledge that Allah is the Creator, but they will not allow

that His Command is over the destiny of the individual. He is the Master of the Destiny. MalikiYawmid-Deen. They cannot accept that. This is the key. Here is this moment in time when it

happened and it happened by disobedience to the Messenger of the time, Sayyiduna Musa. Sothe disobedience to Sayyiduna Musa is a disobedience to Allah. They are told that what they turn

to will be scattered like dust. In the age we are living in, we can also recognise this amongst thearab peoples because they have turned from the Command of Allah, subhanahu wa taala,

because they have broken with the Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

To complete this, the Ayat after it is:

Your god is Allah alone,

there is no god but Him.

He encompasses all things in His knowledge.


21/38

MIA 21 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

That is, again, the declaration of Tawhid that finishes the affair of the jews. You could say thatall your understanding of them has to be seen in the light of this extraordinary encounter of

Sayyiduna Musa their Prophet, and their rejection of him is absolute. All the history that theyhave stems from that and this strange compulsive return to money-lending, to dealing with

money and somehow feeling that it is wealth that will protect them from the difficulties of

existence.

The more they are persecuted, and the more they are exiled and the more they are cast out, they

still return to it and they still return to it. This is the tragedy of them.

There is still a small section of their people who make that Musan accusation against them anddo not recognise Israel and do not recognise all the path that their own people have taken. There

is a small group of them who oppose it because they are human beings, and so there are someamong them who can see the terrible disaster that has come on them. We are living in an epoch

where this matter is still unfinished business and it is very important that you understand it.

Do not think of the strength of Israel or the strength of the bankers and the rich jewish families,think of it in terms of the power of Allah, subhanahu wa taala, the situation they have been put

in all these ages and ages ago and their devastating decision and from that rejection of theirMessenger, all their suffering and all their tragedy, as was foretold in these Ayats of Quran, has

come to pass and is happening today. You must look on it this way. So when people talk aboutthem, do not say, Oh, but they are powerful and they have all the wealth and all the banks, you

must tell them, No, they are on a path where they have been rejected by Allah, subhanahu wataala, because they disobeyed their Prophet.

Therefore it is not for us to look at them with a feeling of our superiority, because we have to

look to the fact that many, many of the leadership of our people in this age have done exactly thesame thing. So we must remind people that it is by obeying Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

that they are obeying Allah. That is Rasul, and not anybody else who came after. The matter goesback to the Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it does not go back to anybody else, just to him.

That is why our Deen, as Sufis, is based on a true Tawhid and love of Rasul, sallallahu alayhiwa sallam. That love has no room for anybody else. No other mortal. We have respect for the

Sahaba and respect for Sayyidatuna Aisha, this great woman from whom half the Deen comes,but all our love is for the Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, out of all the creatures on this

planet.

We ask Allah, subhanahu wa taala, to make us among the people who teach the proper Deenand we ask Allah, subhanahu wa taala, to give us a tongue like Sayyiduna Harun was given a

tongue to tell people the truth. We ask Allah, subhanahu wa taala, to strengthen us in the Deenand give us knowledge in the Deen and give us love of Quran.

Libya, Egypt, Tunisia - Into the Trap


22/38

MIA 22 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

by Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi - 10/03/2011

There is no such thing as breaking news. The media myth of atheist capitalism is that we live in a

perpetual continuum. In that way we are distracted from the active doctrine of compound interest

which dooms us to debtorship, one that is based on the passage of time and that time unmeasured

by the anxiety of the debtors.

Events, equally, do not happen. They are immeasurable. The tsunami is meaningless, and

without contours. There is in it the young couple drowned at their wedding, the baby savedfloating on a tree trunk, and the recorded comment of the Head of the World Bank: Theres a

billion in this for us!

When three dictatorships in North Africa implode almost simultaneously, and when the mediatalk drunkenly of an awakening to democracy, freedom and modernity it is time to stop. Stop and

reject. The event has not happened, having no reality. However, there are the effects of events,which resonate with reality, and let us later reflect that something happened. The meaning

always emerges later. Even then, the understanding does not emerge from the event, but fromthat setting which for us enframes it.

Rumi told us that when a King dies an event to the family it is tragedy and loss of status,

while to the amnestied prisoner it is joy and a recovery of status.

What happened on the Muslim littoral of the Mediterranean? What may result from it?

The given, which we can confirm, is that the Muslim population of three countries all roseagainst dictatorship: Tunisia after 20 years, Egypt after 30 years, and Libya after 40 years. This

means that someone born 20 years ago in Tunisia, 30 years ago in Egypt and 40 years ago inLibya has lived without knowledge of Islam and under the States diktat that Islam is the enemy

of society. Arab States without Islam lifetimes lived inside the persecution of Islam. Theirdictators all began their term with approval and acclaim by the masses. Since the State openly

viewed Islam as an enemy each had a programme of torture and execution of Muslim activistsand scholars. This is not to suggest Islam-ists and potential terrorists were the victims. On the

contrary the assassinated scholars were proposing the simple Deen as understood by Ibn Ashir,Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani and Ibn Juzayy.

The dictators did not fall fully indoctrinated against Islam out of a clear desert sky. They, in turn,

were an effect. A result. The result of an infective miasma. As the viral destroyer survives, andindeed is, the zone of toxicity, so the Arab sickness saw from its swamps emerge the full fever

inducing destroyer called atheist socialism. Out of the terrain emerged the socialist leader,Nasser. Behind his emergence lies the disaster of false doctrines in Egypt and after him came the

modern propagators of a new religion, an anti-Islam, re-formed into mondialist capitalisttolerance, I mean Shaykh Qardawi and Shaykh Ghanouchi. These two stand waiting for the dust

to clear so that they can sign off, once and for all, the Arab peoples from the illumination,wisdom and duties of Islam itself. The Muslim littoral of the Mediterranean lies voided of

knowledge, guidance and simple Adab. The modern Arab is without Islam and is losing thelanguage of the Book which could rescue him.

What will he get from his so-called Revolution? It was not even a revolution in Egypt it was a

demo. They did not march. They did not storm the Palace. They did not kill the dictator. Thedictator lodged in the Israel-protected corner of the country, leaving behind a known torturer and

killer as Vice-President and the Armys High Command of mummified zombies, still subsidised

from the USA.

The people will, of course, be rid of the dictator, in his place will come a committee.

They will vote for representatives who will assure that they all have a bank account and a credit

card. From the bankers viewpoint it is some kind of miracle. Overnight they have gained a fewhundred million new debtors.

The jasmine, rose, stinkweed revolution has raised up the whole Arab world to full slave-

debtorship in global banking. Like Greece. Like Ireland. Only more endebted.

They will get an iPhone, an iPad, and a new almost incurable psychosis, that of becoming a slaveof the new successful capitalist oligarchy.

In the meantime young Arabs should rush to their Kindle and acquire Umar Ibrahim Vadillos

The Esoteric Deviation in Islam.

There, clearly, is the diagnosis by a doctor who knows. As for the cure and its therapies this isin the hands of its doctors, the active Qadiriyya and Naqshabandiyya Shuyukh.

In a month that has seen the spectacle of politicians agonising over the suffering of the Libyan

people and wailing their interminable surrealist doxology of human rights, a year in the ongoingslaughter of the Kashmiri race and people has passed in absolute silence. Now well over ten

thousand dead and un-numbered maimed and tortured by the cow and rat worshipping pagans ofIndia has produced not one word of concern let alone compassion from the despicable political

servants of banking capitalism.

kissing the feet in India and trying to bully Pakistan, as if Britain has no responsibility in theoutrageous Partition which granted Kashmir to India in the first place. The frontiers of the sub-

continent are unreal, unworkable and unacceptable.

In Libya smuggled SAS and MI5 agents, no-fly zones proposed and the smooth harmonies of

American, British, German, French and even Italian condemnation of the cruel dictator. Theoutrage of a few hundred dead unacceptable. In unison the deus ex-machina is called forth the International Community.

And in Kashmir with its daily continuing genocide and civic persecution silence. Kashmir is

a nation. Libya is only a petrol-station.

Kashmiris have not for one day ceased to struggle and die for their freedom. Libya submitted tothe psychopathic dictatorship of a clown the whole world laughed at as he tortured and killed.

The Libyans put up with him for over forty years. The only good Libyan is an exile. Now theywant to sack the garage manager, just to re-open their techno-slave camp under new

management.

Meanwhile in Kashmir the last nobility of mankind, God-worshipping men and women, continueto struggle for survival, while the self-styled humanists look the other way.

Ayyuhal-Walad! Lesson One.


DICTATORSHIP DEFINED.

In a dictatorship there is no political freedom. Dissent is punished with removal from society prison, torture, dungeon and death. There is basic economic freedom since the State is the soleproprietor of wealth.

DEMOCRACY DEFINED.In a democracy there is no economic freedom. You are a citizen in a set of similar democraticStates. Being a citizen means you are a debtor. You are responsible for the national debt, e.g. a

Mauritanian child born in the desert enters life owing his share of the national debt, thus is born


25/38

MIA 25 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

into the world owing an unpayable sum of thousands of euros. You are free to change yourpolitical representative but, apart from his governmental taxes on you, he in turn has no power.

He must keep you from rising up protest you are granted but not violent protest then youmust be crushed. That is the status quo. When the banks fail, losing millions, you must bail them

out. In doing this it is perceived that you, the masses, have become (thanks to democracy)

passive and obedient.

BANKERS DEFINED.The bankers, called by Proudhon, the Sect, are a mystical fraternity of atheists. They operate ausury system lending at interest, using not substantive, i.e. real wealth, but rather in the first

instance paper currency, itself a receipt for real wealth. Their power grew, and it has beengrowing since the French Revolution and the English de-empowering of its monarchy when it

banished the legislative monarchs and replaced them with German obedient gentry.

World War II and its aftermath, coming as it did with the computer-based transformation ofglobal information, saw a vital evolutionary jump in practice and power. The financial system

had in effect abandoned currency (the paper document promising payment) and simplyfunctioned on the numbers of any given currency and its transfer from global point A to global

point B. The money was no longer even a numerical sum, but rather that electronic impulseflashing between two computers. In other words, the bankers ruled by magic. They controlled the

political class the latter knew their appointment was due not to the masses but the media(which the bankers owned) and their prior obedience to the fiduciary programme.

At present the bankers have found that the political class are even more servile than they had

imagined. Once the politicians revealed their servility by bailing out the financial systemscollapse the bankers struck. Now, they said, look at this mess. We must clean up the market-

place. The truth is you, the political class, owe us vast fortunes in national debts. Time to pay.Rename it the deficit the amount owing and clearly you must pay. In one move, the bankers

(a system, yes, but run by the priesthood of the system) were a giant step nearer the logical andmathematical end of their religion one bank, no currency, and all mankind debtors.

The move to collecting the deficit followed the bankers financial meltdown over twenty

trillion dollars people were too traumatised now they had to, had to pay their dues. No-onewas in a state to ask where did the money go? Had it simply vanished? Does that mean it was

never there in the first place?

The so-called deficit crisis continued the degrading and enslaving of the masses.

The myth of recovery receded before the near-total cuts of social services which formed thebasis of civic society. To give the bankers new vitality they needed new customers. They needed

several million new clients to allow their continued move to world dominance and to keep theirelite, rich and rewarded. For example in mid deficit-crisis Britain, Barclays Bank awarded its

boss nine million pounds bonus, following a public outcry, the boss (with the deathless name ofMr Diamond!) humbly said that in tune with other peoples problems he would only take six

million!

Ya Walad!

And this, is where you come in. The bankers ask: Now where can we get our hands on tens ofmillions of new bank customers? New, young, wanting democracy, i.e. debtorship without

dictators, and with it we can import drugs, rock and roll, sexual liberation and even fashion. Of

course along the littoral of the Mediterranean, there they lie, unemployed, tyrannised andblessedly free of Islamic teaching which might expose the evil nature of our fiduciary plans!

Young man, you want democracy PRESS ENTER.

Now where can we get our hands on tens of millions of new bank customers? New, young,wanting democracy

Ayyuhal-Walad! Lesson Two - The Bahrain Anomaly


In the collapse of the three approved Mediterranean regimes we can recognise not some

synchronic urge to freedom and democracy but rather the triggered response of the masses to thesignals of the banking elite. It takes only a shimmer of intellect to identify a scripted scenariobeing imposed on the impoverished Arab hordes. Jane Arden, the famous feminist of late 20th

century England, called it The Other Side of the Underneath, not what the fractured psycheimposed on itself but rather what outer events imposed on that broken self.

With Bahrain we are in a whole different movie. Its a costume movie. It is about power and it is

about how masked, black robed women govern from below. It is part Freud and part Genet, by

that I mean it involves both the Freudian model of family crisis (the Oedipal fixation) and thefalse dramatisation of using mourning to dominate events (the Genet theatre). I mean, therefore,the presence of the psychological syndrome called Shia, that anti-Islam that denies Khilafa

and meritocracy in preference for genetic inheritance and at the same time a threatened end toevents, punishing the existing world. For the core of the Shia religion is its denial of political

power while claiming a necessity to overthrow existing power, promising an apocalyptic revengeat the end of time.

In other words, the denial of present leaders because of their usurpation of a genetic inheritance.

The Khalifate belonged to the father and the orchard belonged to the mother, that is Ali ibn AbiTalib is the wronged and murdered inheritor of power and his wifes real estate has been

confiscated. Their sons have been assassinated and the mourning over one (Hussein) has becomea tenet of the new anti-religion. The family are the disinherited to the twelfth generation, all

assassinated, all perfect and all to be mourned until the twelfth who becomes suspended, a livingdead, with a promise to put everything right at the end of the world bring social justice when it

will surely be too late.

In this new religion the enemy is Islam. Its followers revive themselves not only by ritual

mourning of its martyred dead but by cursing the eminent leadership of Islams first days the

Say to the muminun that they should lower their eyes

and guard their private parts.

That is purer for them.

Allah is aware of what they do.

Say to the mumin women that they should lower their eyesand guard their private parts

and not display their adornments

except for what normally shows

and draw their head-coverings across their breasts.

The first thing we must observe in these two Ayats is that they begin in the same way, with Allah

the Exalted instructing the Messenger, may Allah bless him and give him peace, as follows:

Say to the muminun...

Say to the mumin women...

This indicates that it is a strong, Divinely ordained Sunna. It is not a law with punishment orreward attached to it.

Important to us is the phrase from the second Ayat which specifies:

except for what normally shows

We find in Ibn Atiyya that he relates how Asma bint Abu Bakr was with her sister Aisha, mayAllah be pleased with her, when the Messenger entered, may Allah bless him and grant him

peace. When his wife questioned about the correctness of her dress, the Prophet indicated thatshe should be covered except and he mimed the hands and the face. This permits us to say that

the Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave indication about modesty bycovering, in accordance with the Quranic stricture except for what normally shows . This

allows us to say that the covering of the face is not an Islamic practice, but more seriously is adefiance of the indication of our Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

The Muslim Community cannot be led into a frivolous and futile struggle at the hands of menand women who do not know what the Deen of Islam is in the first place.Allah the Exalted has declared in Surat Al Imran (3:32):


29/38

MIA 29 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

Say, Obey Allah and the Messenger.

Then if they turn away,

Allah does not love the kafirun.

So it is that when we talk of trouble in Bahrain we are not talking the dialectic of bankersdemocracy versus dictatorship. The issue here is fundamental to our position as Muslims. It is

not soluble within the modalities of the current absolutist world system of capitalism. Incapitalism money has no intrinsic worth (like gold of feathers). Currency basically is numbers.

These numbers can be given new (Euro) or old (Dollar) names, yet they are computed asnumbers. Human beings in the capitalist system are regarded identically. They are no longer

even men and women. Humans have been named citizens and this term has already given wayto the term debtor. They have no intrinsic value (belief that is higher than the computable),

they are statistics.

The beginning of this rule was established in 1947 with the partition of India. Up until thatmoment a nation was measured by a zone of land allotted to a people. In 1947 the new world

order emerged when it imposed its new philosophy. A whole people were allotted a land. It wasdetermined by numbers.

The principle blinded the world to the purpose.

Its purpose was to assure India was not Muslim but Hindu.

So powerful was this passion that they permitted a whole people to be denied the new system. Ifit was a matter of counting heads then Kashmir could claim independence. Of course India has

never submitted to a Referendum I mean of the whole sub-continent.In short the issue was the granting of a state to the Muslims. The deciding principle was that

this should be measured by counting heads. This revealed the contradiction between purpose andmethod. Kashmir revealed the illogicality of the politique. A division of India to give Muslims a

state would have necessitated a return to the status quo ante, that is prior to the British conquest,the Mughal Empire. There could only be a Muslim state where there had historically been one onthe land, Delhi, Ajmer, from Lucknow to Hyderabad.

In the matter of its past Bahrain is quite grisly. In the third century Hijra a messianic Ismaili

group set up a proto-communist state, starting in Kufa they set up rule with their capital in al-Hasa. The Qarmatians set up a rule of terror. They lived off raiding the Hajjis en-route to

Makkah. In 906 they massacred 22,000 Hajjis. Under Abu Tahir al-Jannabi they sacked Makkahin 930. They filled Zam-Zam with corpses and took the Black Stone to Bahrain. Bahrain became


30/38

MIA 30 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

the seat of the Qarmatian Mahdi from Isfahan who abolished the Shariat and the Qibla, makingany fire a qibla as in Zoroastrianism.

In 976 the Abbasids recovered Bahrain for Islam but had to face another Shia revolt in 1058

from the Abd al-Qays tribe.

In the 14th century Ibn Battuta found the people of the region to be Shia extremists.

By the 15th century the Jabrid dynasty brought back Islam and the school of Imam Malik.

In 1791 the al-Khalifis moved into Bahrain. In 1820 they were supported by treaty arrangements

with Britain.

As Britain, ruined by World War Two and debt to the USA, tottered out of the region theyyielded the territories piece by piece, but the greed of the Emirate states ended up leaving out

Bahrain. It became the State of Bahrain on December 16, 1971. Almost immediately it became

the headquarters of the U.S. 6th Fleet.

The Gulf Security Council was the anti-Iranian defence instrument. Bahrain made a free-tradeagreement with the U.S. in 2004.

The underneath of Bahrain is that one look at the map shows that if the US, impoverished as it

is, is to survive it needs that jutting piece of land called Bahrain.

The other side of the underneath is that there is more to being people than being integers in aGreat Game of politics. The safety of the Arab Peninsula is a matter of absolute importance for

the worlds Muslims.

Bahrain poses the question which we, the Muslims, must decide: Is the long-term view of the

U.S. vis--vis its world policy that Iran must be broken (the current discourse), or is it that theU.S. prefers a no-Khalif (that is no rulership) zone with its masses dulled by apocalyptic

anxieties and un-interested in the issue of Riba? A religion itself anti-religion but using thename of Islam, a system with conflicting theological schools and puritanical culture, too busy

keeping the women in black bags and its holy city a necropolis of mourning, Kerbala.

It can always be controlled and broken (which it loves) and put in mourning minority phasewhile its majority can be captured by sexual mores like in America, plus movies and rock.

Is the Shia system the instrument to bring these masses into capitalism and finish, as they

themselves desire, self-flagellating and cursing, the pure Deen al-Haqq once and for all?What I say is not an attack on Shia men and women. As a Sufi I know that not a single one doesbelieve it or can defend it. It is a politique. It has its own psychology and it is not healthy. A

Shia can be cured.

Look at the politically active Bahrainis note their hysteria, their choddored women denied theirtrue power, and the sobbing frustrated youth. Darkness.

Allah the Exalted says in Surat Al-Isra (17:81):

Say: Truth has come and falsehood has vanished.

it is, is to survive it needs that jutting piece of land called Bahrain.'

Ayyuhal-Walad! Lesson Three - Syria


At the end of our last Lesson the question was posed: is the policy of the U.S. to create a Shia

dominant Middle East for the dual purpose of abolishing Islam and assuring a no-Khalif

memorial religion open to banking capitalism? This problem still faces us.

Lebanon has already demonstrated that a concordance between the two religions (Islam andShiism) cannot work. It is now under the control of the Shia. From it, the Palestinian entity has

been destroyed, split in two, one side mafia-based and the other openly converted to Shiism.

Jordan, too is split. The mass are modernist but devoid of an Aqida and a Fiqh, while theRulership openly espouses one-worldist movements and has issued a Declaration accepting the

Shia as if it could subsist within Islam. Shiism is not a cancer in the body of Islam, it was awart which fell off, hence its name.

Bahrain we have identified as an anomaly. Since the rulers are too weak, bearing as they do a

calamitous history, they can only do one of two things, submit to the kafir capitalist doctrine ofcounting people as numbers and give the country over to the Shia, or ask Arabia to annex the

territory, thus rescuing the arithmetic. I do not, cannot propose the Maliki Islamic solution.Declare the State Islamic, thus preventing non-Muslims holding office and at the same time

charge the Shia Jizya assuring them protection alongside the jews and christians. Now there is

tolerance at its limit! This would have to be preceded by introducing a collected Zakat.

Iraq clearly is the tragic victim of the Arab move from Islam to numbers capitalism. In place of a

corrupted Muslim dictatorship (let us not forget Saddam died on his Shahadah) has come anumerically based Shia regime, itself profoundly corrupt. In the case of Iraq we must refer to

our opening dilemma. Did the Americans MEAN this to happen, or are they more ignorant thatwe give them credit?


32/38

MIA 32 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

Now Syria. Syria lies at the heart of Islamic history. In Damascus is the great UmmayyadMosque. It is the burial-place of the Shaykh al-Akbar ibn al-Arabi. It was a jewel of the

Osmanli Dawlet. During the Arab peoples descent into madness it fell under the curse ofsocialist atheism and was conquered by the Baathist regime alongside Iraq. The result of this

disaster was the enthroning of the mountain tribe of Alawites led by Hafez al-Assad. Under their

tyranny one attempt at liberation was mounted but failed tragically. Assad ordered the massacreof over 20,000 men, women and children. The Shia regime was then ensconced in a daily reignof terror. 10,000 people have vanished without trace. It is the third partner in the kafir triangle of

terror and genocide: Kashmir, the Uighurs of East Turkestan, and Syria. The first are victims ofmushriks, the second are victims of atheists, and the third, Syria, are victims of the Shia.

Syria has no equal for savage repression and murder. Egypt, Mubaraks Egypt was liberal in

relation to Assads national prison.

Here there is absolutely no question about a people wanting democracy. No question about themwanting a living wage. No question about them opposing corruption. The people of Syria want to

live, simply live, and live as a Muslim society.

Behind the puppet Assad lies the Shia oligarchy that controls the country and plots its anarchyin next-door Lebanon. Behind the Shia tyranny of the Syrian masses stands the Shia heartland

from Kerbala to Tehran. Bus-loads of pilgrims head out from there daily to the richly restoredShia shrines of Syria. The Muslims are crushed under the traitor Mufti, Kuftaro, whose name is

infamy to Muslim scholars (see Vadillos Esoteric Deviation in Islam to understand Syriastragic past and the criminality of Kuftaro. The book is now available on Kindle and is obligatory

reading.)

The future of world Islam is dependent on the liberation of Kashmir, the liberation of theUighurs, and the liberation of the great Muslim nation of Syria. As of today only King

Muhammad VI of Morocco has had the courage to expel the Shia and now they are workinghard to destroy him using the current doctrines of democracy. Very soon now King Abdullah in

Riyadh is going to have to wake up and seek better counsel. While a helpless servant of hisAmerican masters since Roosevelt took command of his regime at the end of World War Two,

nevertheless, we do not want him removed, for we know that much worse than his regime iswaiting in the wings with the kiss of death democracy, tolerance, and the universal opening up

of Makkah and Madinah to one-world-religion tourism.

We must act now not by violence but by sheer superiority of intellect and character on the frontline I mean Kashmir, East Turkestan and Syria.

Allah we call on You to rescue the Muslims of Syria.

Amin. Amin. Amin.

Syrian Muslims recite the Nasiri Dua which expelled the French from Morocco.

The Political Class in Crisis


Across the world the formulaic system designed to free banking programmes from state control

is in crisis. Everywhere the political class are despised and distrusted. Everywhere the myth ofgovernment as representational is exposed. The majority of citizens in the so-called democracies

are against the Afghan war yet each country in the pretended coalition finds its governmentbacking what it insists is a necessary war. Both Iraq II and Afghanistan III have exposed the

political class to disgrace. The democratic systems adherence to the rule that the politiciansdecree the war and the soldiers do the dying is itself the profound cause of democracys collapse.

Cowards should not direct wars. Anyone wishing to experience nausea in its most acute formneed only listen to a politician expressing his grief and or gratitude at the deaths of soldiers.

Just as it seemed that the British parliament could not plunge deeper into shame along came the

fragmented government of Cameron/Clegg. Optimistically wanting to argue against anarchy one

supported the Conservatives over and against the post-Blair ruin of Labour. Anything else, itseemed, had to offer a respite from social disintegration. Looking back, at least Labours foreignsecretary, David Milliband, had the courage to see Bombay as a bi-product of Indias refusal to

recognise Kashmirs right to its own democracy. When the lone gunman left alive at the end ofthe Bombay carnage was told to Surrender or die, he memorably replied, We die every day!

He meant of course, Kashmir.

Today, we have the truly tragic spectacle of a British Prime Minster turning his back on:

1. The important segment of the British electorate that has come from Pakistan.2. The persecuted people of Kashmir, denied the sacred practices of democracy and self-

determination.3. The terrible responsibility of Britain in the disastrous Partition of 1947 and the deceptions

of that division.

Let us observe the flight path of the British Prime Minister in what may prove to have been a

more fatal one than that of Chamberlain from London to Munich. Cameron flew fromWashington to Delhi and returned waving a piece of paper, declaring, Contracts in our time!

Treachery was piled on ignorance. Treachery to the large Muslim population of Britain.

Ignorance of the true state of India whose millions live in abject poverty while a tiny oligarchicminority hold the countrys wealth, and its army practises genocide on hill tribes by the simple

pretext of calling them maoist in order to strip the hills of mineral wealth.

The Camerons journey first stop was Washington, where, to the horror of patriot Britons, heannounced that Britain was a junior partner of the U.S.A. Cameron has declared Britain is Lolita

to the U.S. Humbert Humbert. He left America under marching orders from his paedophilicmaster.

In Turkey he suddenly said he supported Turkeys entry into Europe - a meaningless concept

while the pound itself is not in Europe. Britain and Europe are in irrevocable decline. Turkey isthe second country after China in terms of wealth expansion. No mention of Turkeys historical

claim to Cyprus or of Greeces bankruptcy. Did he not know that Turks look on Pakistan andAfghans as brothers? After grovelling about in Ankara he headed for Delhi. In Turkey, a most

sophisticated business community, it would be folly to invest West when all wealth and future

lies East.

The pronouncement of Cameron in Delhi was truly a major blunder. The High Commissioner for

Pakistan in London called it unfortunate and blamed his inexperience, although that meantignorance. If his coat was American, he might at least have removed the price tag.

In the midst of his debacle the leakage of documents on Afghanistan seemed clearly a desperate

ploy to get the American masses turned loose as they were in the final stages of the Vietnam war.The attacks inside the documents are dis-information, slandering and denouncing important

Pakistani figures whom they fear.

It is time to insist on British withdrawal from Afghanistan. This should be accompanied by arising call from the anti-war movement and the families of dead soldiers insisting that Ministers

join the army and go to the front line. There is nothing, absolutely nothing to be gained forBritain in this war, led by the country with the deepest hatred for Britain in its history, the U.S.A.

A final medical note on the political leaders. Have you observed how sick they look? Cameron

puffed up is it drink or tranquillisers? Clintons face is a mask is she on cortisone?Sarkozys twitching is his sub-epileptic condition worsening? Be of good cheer. It wont be

long now. When Allah wills it and our trust is in Him.

Aamin.

A World of Ungoverned Spaces: Yemen and Somalia

by Parvez Asad Sheikh (a Pakistani leader and intellectual)

The ungoverned spaces of the world are increasingly becoming focal points around which the

terrorist-dialectic pulls the uneasy attention of the international community. From the political

vortex of Pakistans tribal-belt to the anachronism of piracy in the Gulf of Aden, thesegeopolitical shatter zones seem to have developed alongside the post-modern, post- Cold War,

geopolitical framework as one of its core concepts. The fact that these spaces exist, and arecoming to the fore in a global context, shows that this is not merely a scenario involving the bad


35/38

seeds of a ghostly terrorist entity sweeping the globe in search of fertile grounds in the grey areasof the political map but rather a phenomenon of our times that can serve as a symptom to help

understand the greater instability that surrounds us. If these regions share similar politicalsymptoms then they must suffer from a similar ailment.

Yemen is a case in point. The failed attempt by a young Nigerian to detonate his explosiveundergarment on an American airplane brought renewed interest in the poorest country on theArabian Peninsula, where it is said that he received some manner of instruction. Yemen has been

described as an almost failed state by more sensitive analysts and seriously challenged bythose who use the rationale that, since the country has been failing for the past thirty years, it has

not hit rock bottom as of yet. However, Yemen, in terms of the stability and the reach of itscentral governance structures and systems, does possess vast areas that can be classified as

ungoverned spaces.

Across the Gulf of Aden, running along the tip of the Horn of Africa, lies another country thathas been attracting international attention due primarily to its ungoverned nature. Somalia has hit

rock bottom according to popular consensus. Attempts at establishing some form of unifiedcentral government after the toppling of the Barre regime in 1991 have failed consistently and

there are two separate, if unrecognised, states within the state itself.

Both Yemen and Somalia share the spotlight as focus on the Horn of Africa region increases.Both countries are seen as potential breeding grounds for terrorists in large part due to their

under-governed nature. Beyond the involvement of both nations citizens in piracy and theiralleged potential as terrorist havens, these two countries share particular characteristics that have

placed them in common infamy.

Nationalism:The first of these common attributes is the presence of nationalist movements. As mentioned

earlier, both countries possess areas within their borders devoid of direct governmental influence.The power vacuums left behind are filled by alternative forms of governance that usually bring

with them a fractious energy that destabilises the nation state. In the case of Yemen thesedestabilising forces come in the form of the secessionist Southern Movement and the armed

militant nationalist movement of the Shia Zaidi Houthies in the north of the country. PresidentAli Abdallah Salehs regime is held together through a combination of strong-arm politics and a

system ofinformal patronage to clan leaders what he has been known to describe ininterviews as dancing on the heads of snakes a form of political opportunism, if you will.

The governments ability financially to support its system of patronage is under pressure asYemens oil reserves continue to run dry. After thirty years of opportunism that has allowed him

to survive, Saleh is also reaching the end of his natural term as head of state, and court intrigue isalready taking place between his eldest son, who has been groomed to inherit the position, and

other members of a predominantly family based presidency. While the Houthie Hezbollah-styledBeliever Youths demand the constant attention of the government, the secessionist Southern

Movement has gained increasing momentum in its calls for the re-establishment of a separatesouthern state.

To add an almost primordial dimension to Yemens woes is the fact that the country is running


36/38

out of water. Where it was once sufficient to dig ten meters to find water, with the drastic fall inthe water table, that figure has now multiplied to five hundred and up to an entire kilometre in

some areas. A side effect of the boom in industrial-scale agriculture during the 1970s, studieshave found that eighty percent of armed conflict is primarily caused by competition between

groups over access to the most basic of treasures. What was once a symbol of human triumph

over nature will be responsible for ensuring that Sanaa will be the first capital in modern historyto run dry. With some villages already being abandoned and one of the most heavily armedcivilian populations in the world, the effect of future large-scale migration on the conflicts in the

north and south of Yemen remains uncertain.

In Somalia, attempts by the political elite in the country to establish a building blocks federalistpolitical set-up based on clan demarcations has seen some success in the north of the country

with the founding of the separate, if unrecognised, republics of the Puntland and Somaliland.However, the use of parliamentary structures within these mini-republics has lead to a crisis of

legitimacy as a result of such a systems incompatibility with the traditional forms ofgovernance. When a parliament is used in the setting of predominantly clan-based politics, it

becomes the seat of dominance of one clan or sub-clan over the other and eventually leads todestabilisation brought on by a receding line of legitimacy. The clan militia in the south of the

country have been pitted against the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-terrorism,who enjoy American support, leaving the region in shambles. Somalia has no official central

government and Somaliland continues to nudge its way towards secession.

Borders:The presence of nationalist movements in Yemen and Somalia are due to a large extent to the

ethnic incongruity of the borders that form these nation states. It therefore follows that they bothhave disputed border areas with neighbouring states. Yemens Houthie nationalists in the north

of the country have incurred the military retaliation of the Saudi Arabian government followingattacks on the border posts that separate the two countries. Oil rich southern Saudi Arabia and

northwestern Yemen are home to Shia tribes separated by an international border.

During the rule of General Barre in Somalia, his socialist regime centred itself on fostering anational Somali identity and the establishment of a Greater Somalia. This inevitably lead to

claims of Somali territory being held by neighbouring Ethiopia in the Ogaden region followed byfrequent cross-border skirmishes leading up to a full scale war in 1978. The region continues to

be a source of unrest and a major reason behind Ethiopias constant involvement in Somaliaffairs. The Ogaden National Liberation Front is currently fighting for the regions independence

from Ethiopia.

These two common characteristics that are shared between Yemen and Somalia can be identifiedas the most important traits of states that have areas within their territories that are removed or

devoid of the influence of a central government in the sense of a modern Republic. That is,nationalism and border disputes that reduce the ability for a central government to function

properly, if at all. This is the result of the ethnic heterogeneity of the populations and clandynamics that remain socio-politically relevant distinctions. Barres drive to eliminate clan

identities in favour of a national Somali identity were unsuccessful to the extent that, on hisbeing overthrown, the country has increasingly negotiated itself as best it could along clan and


37/38

MIA 37 | P a g e M a r c h 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

sub-clan lines. Border disputes further inflame those nationalist movements that are separated byan artificial border and this leads to the dissolving of borders due to human traffic. This erosion

of borders has another effect that is even more significant and that is the inclusion of foreigninterests as these militant movements spread.

Foreign Intervention:The Houthi movement is modelled on that of Hezbollah in Lebanon. There have been reports ofIranian support for the movement; especially after an arms shipment from Iran was seized last

year on its way to Yemen. This has spurred Saudi Arabia to support Sanaa in its fight againstthe rebels as well as retaliating directly over the border after a Houthie incursion late last year.

Israel, a most unlikely of suspects, has reportedly supported Islamic militants fighting against theHouthies as a means to curb the spread of Iranian sponsored Shia militant groups. M K

Bhadrakumar of the Asia Times goes further to suggest that Israel, whose effectiveness as aregional power has always been seriously handicapped by its lack of access to the Persian Gulf

region, is attempting to gain a toehold in Yemen that could also serve as a front in the case ofan attack on Iran.

The regionalization that results from cross border conflicts accelerates the dissolution of borders

and the dismantling of the nation state as a coherent entity, as is also the case in the Af-Pakregion. Somalias disputed border with Ethiopia has lead to the enthusiastic support of the latter

towards the establishment of the countrys mini-state of Puntland and directly the dismantlingthe Islamic Courts Union in 2006. Americas support for one clan-based militia against another

can only lead to further destabilisation.

Further a-step lies the increasing competition between America and China over the IndianOcean. China has increased its presence in Africa considerably during the last decade. Sudan is

deeply connected to Beijing and diplomatic inroads are being made in Kenya as well. With therecent announcement of Chinas plans to establish a naval base in the Horn of Africa region and

the ongoing establishment of its string of naval bases along its trade routes, America needs toensure that any options open to the Chinese are covered. Yemen and Somalia represent two

possible candidates for such bases that would tip the balance of maritime presence towards theChinese. China has had success in supporting the strongest players in a host of unstable African

countries such as Sudan, another state fraught with the effects of clan dynamics.

After Post-Modern Geopolitics:There is a Somali saying that roughly interprets as, Am I going crazy or am I hearing singing in

Aden? The two countries of Somalia and Yemen are an important and interlinked front in theage of the terror dialectic both historically and culturally. The thousands of Somali refugees

living in Yemen, trade links and human interaction indicate that these troubled states should beseen as a unified region possessing ungoverned spaces. The core reasons behind their volatile

nature are not to be found in their being potential safe havens or Islam but rather theincompatibility the structure of a nation state has with the ethnic make-up of their populations.

The solutions to the problems of governance in these regions will not be found in terms ofcapacity building by a central government but, as the borders that ensnare the populace

dissolve by force, a mode of governance compatible with the ground realities must take root.

During his campaigning days, the-then Senator Obama declared that it was the impoverished,weak and ungoverned states that have become the most fertile breeding grounds for

transnational threats, echoing Bush administrations view that America was now threatenedless by conquering states than by failing ones. Beyond the technocratic jargon lies the

fundamental flaw in the terrorist-dialectic. These failing and ungoverned states only suffer

from an escalation in violence and instability when foreign powers attempt to intervene. And,due to the dissolution of their borders, this instability only spreads.

Robert Kaplan writes in his article, The Revenge of Geography, about the manner in which weare returning to a realism in which the focus now is less on universal ideals than particular

distinctions, from ethnicity to culture to religion. Part of this realism entails recognising thatthese ungoverned areas are those where the parliamentary system of governance within an
