First Khutbah

Oh Muslims, Fear Allaah, the Most High, and know that this life is one of trial and tribulation, a platform of struggle and patience. Know that the struggle between truth and falsehood has been constant since the day Aadam descended to the earth, and it will continue until the Day of Judgment.

The truth has been carried by the messengers and their followers and passed on to the scholars and those who correct the society, clarifying the truth to the public, showing them the clear path, clearing away the doubts placed in their minds, and striving in his path. Falsehood is carried by Satan and his armies from man and Jinn, who use all forms of false advertisement and deception, for the sake of frightening the public. At times dressing up their deception in Islaamic clothing, so that the simple and plain people get caught up in their falsehood, in the name of Islaam. Islaam is free from them, while they fight Islaam and Muslims in the name of Islaam. These are the people whose evil actions have been made beautiful to them and they think that they are doing good.

Servants of Allaah, the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam advised his nation to follow him and stick to his path, as in the hadeeth of Al-Irbaadh Ibn Saariyah who said, “The Messenger of Allaah gave a moving sermon one day after the Morning Prayer. Because of it eyes watered, and hearts shook, so a man stood and said, ‘This is the sermon of one bidding the people farewell, so what do advice us to do Oh Messenger of Allaah?’ He said, “I advise you to fear Allaah, and to listen to and obey your leaders, even if he is an African slave, because whoever amongst you will live long (after me) then he will see many differences. So beware of innovated affairs, because they are misguidance, and whoever of you reaches that time, then stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Khalifahs after me, bite on to it with your molars.” (Tirmithi)

So The Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam advised us to stick to his Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Khaleefahs after him. Yet some people whom Satan has tricked and taken as soldiers and cavalry, have deviated from the Sunnah and shown their animosity to it, while cursing the companions of the Messenger and his rightly guided Khaleefahs, lying about them, even declaring apostasy for some of them. We seek refuge in Allaah from this group and its actions.

This group is the one who nowadays call themselves the Shee’ah. They are the most evil of creation to have set foot on the earth.

Servants of Allaah! The animosity of the Shee’ah towards the people of the Sunnah is severe. This animosity has been ingrained in their souls since the time they took the belief of corrupt partisanship as a rule and path for their religion. It is no wonder, because a snake gives birth to none other than a snake, and whoever reads the annals of history will find the murder and pillage that they committed on the people of the Sunnah, and will find their treaties with the enemies of Islaam far too notorious to be mentioned here.

Concerning this, Ibn Taymiyyah said, “The Shee’ah perceive that the disbelief of the people of the Sunnah is greater than the disbelief of the Jews and the Christians, because those are people who were disbelievers from the start, while the Sunnis were Muslims and then committed apostasy, so they are then greater in disbelief by their consensus than the disbeliever who never entered Islaam.”

Servants of Allah! The Shee’ah, who rejected the Leadership of those who recognize Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, may Allaah be pleased with them, as Muslims, have shown in many occasions there treachery and treason throughout Islaamic history. Therefore, the Shee’ah have lived most of their lives in disgrace and humiliation, as an outcome of their actions, and as a consequence of their accusing the companions of the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam of treachery, and their cursing of them, and their accusing them of turning back to disbelief after Islaam, except for a few of them. The companions of the Messenger of Allaah are the ones who spread Islaam and narrated it to us, in the process, giving their lives and their wealth, all in the path of Allaah.

So may Allaah humiliate those whose Deen is based on the belief of the scheming Jew ‘Abdullaah ibn Saba’. Because of this, they have lived in hypocrisy under the name “Taqiyyah”. So whenever they see a strong Islaamic nation, they attack it with their tongues, and deceive it with their actions, showing that nation or government all of its sincerity and allegiance, giving praise and thanks to it, all for the reason of taking its wealth, and governmental positions. If they succeeded in overtaking that government and they would attack the unity of the Muslims of the people of the Sunnah, both scholars and common people, men and women, old and young, attacking them as a lion attacks its prey, in any way possible, whether it be through destruction or ruin.

You find them throughout history, siding with the disbelievers and polytheists and assisting them against the Muslims. History is witness to this fact.

Here, I would like to mention just one incident which will show you their treason and treachery to Islaam and the Muslims. This episode being that of the Shee’ah Minister, Ibn Al-’Alqami. We will mention it here, to show to the people of the Sunnah what the Shee’ah will do to them when given the opportunity.

Ibn Katheer mentions in his famous book of history, Al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah: “Ibn Al-’Alqami was a minister for the Abbasid Khaleefah Al-Mu’tasim Billaah. Ibn Al-’Alqami was a Raafidhi Shee’ah, while the Khaleefah was a Sunni, upon the way of the Sunnah as were both his father and grandfather, except that he was lenient and careless at times. His Shee’ah minister would set traps for him and the Abbasid Khilaafah from one time to another, staging his plans for the destruction of the Sunnah and the establishment of a Shee’ah state.

“So, by way of his being a minister in the government, and the Khaleefah being heedless of him, he tried his utmost to deregulate the armies of the Khaleefah and hinder enrollment in the army. In his days, the army had reached around one hundred thousand soldiers, some of their commanders having the power and respect of kings. Yet he continued to deregulate the armies until the number of soldiers came down to about ten thousand only. He changed their posts from the front lines to other less meaningful positions, such as guards for the marketplace and door attendants at the Masjid.

“Once he had accomplished this, and the city of Baghdad had no army to protect Islaam and the Muslims, he wrote to the Tatar (the Mongols). He encouraged them to overtake the land, describing it as easy and telling them the reality of the government and its forces. So when the armies of the Tatar overtook Baghdad under the leadership of their chief Hulaako Khan, he brought with him his comrade At-Toosi, and the first to go out and meet them was the minister Ibn Al-’Alqami. After meeting with Hulaako, he returned to the Khaleefah.

“He suggested to the Khaleefah to go out and meet with Hulaago, and to lower himself in front of him, for the welfare of the nation, and to offer him one half of all the land taxes collected yearly in Iraq. He continued to convince the Khaleefah until he went out to meet Hulaako in the presence of over 700 judges, scholars, and prominent figures.

“So when they came close to the house of Hulaako, they drew back from the Khaleefah, all but 17 people who entered with the Khaleefah. As far as those who stayed back, they came down from their horses and were killed, every one of them. The Khaleefah met with Hulaako and then returned to Baghdad in the company of At-Toosi and Ibn Al-’Alqami as well as others. He then returned to Hulaako and brought with him much gold and jewels. As soon as he returned, the order was given to kill him, and it is said the one who gave the suggestion was Ibn Al-’Alqami himself along with At-Toosi.”

Ibn Katheer then says, “After the Khaleefah was killed, they went and stormed through the country, killing everyone they were able to from men, women, and children, old and young, sick and healthy. Many people hid inside wells and gardens, hiding for days so as not to be found, or ran to the hills and mountains. The Tatar continued their rampage, killing the people even on the roofs of their homes and inside the Masjid, until the streets ran of blood like rainwater in a valley. No one was safe from them, except the Jews, Christians and those that took refuge in the home of Ibn Al-’Alqami the Shee’ah, the same one who set this trap for the Muslims. The killing continued until it was said that the number of dead reached one million eight thousand bodies.”

Servants of Allaah! This is a summary of what Ibn Katheer has recorded of the treason of the Shee’ah to Islaam and the Muslims, which tells us the reality of their ways in every time and place. So will the Muslims wake up and stand up to them? And will they awaken from their heedlessness, and teach their children the truth about the Shee’ah and their plans for the people of the Sunnah? The Shee’ah ingrain in the minds and hearts of their children the hatred of the Sahaabah, and teach them that the people of the Sunnah are their enemies, and that they are disbelievers which need to be wiped off the face of the earth. Yet the children of the Sunnah know nothing about this nor do they know of the false beliefs of the Shee’ah!

Servants of Allaah! Youth of Islam! These are things that we must know very well:

Firstly, that most of the sects, which split off the Shee’ah, have Persian roots. If they show their allegiance and friendship to other than them, they are all lies and tricks.

Secondly, they are a people of confusion and wish to spread this amongst the masses in order to confuse them about their real goals. You will find one of their leaders declaring something obligatory, while another states the contrary, all to cause disruption in society. This is the way of the leaders of Iran. They use the same methods to stray the masses from the truth, and if they cannot cause them to follow them or go astray, then they use terrorist tactics to, either make them agree, or get rid of them. This was the method that they used with Ihsaan Ilaahi Zaheer, may Allaah have mercy upon him, when they assassinated him.

Thirdly, the secretive Raafidhah Shee’ah look at the Arabs with hatred and enmity, for nothing but the fact that they destroyed the glory of Persia, and overcame the power of Kisraa. History is enough of a witness to their agreements with the disbelievers and polytheists, and their use of them against the Sunnah and the Muslim community. In this time, the Shee’ah have established deep ties with the Jews, acting as cargo mules for the enemies of Islaam in every time and place.

Fourthly, they have no law in their religion preventing them from that which is forbidden to us. Their faith is based on deception and this makes them the most lying of nations. Their practice of temporary marriage has made most of them adulterers and prostitutes, and the filthy things they say about the companions of the messenger of Allaah has made it easy for them to curse the believers and pronounce their disbelief.

These are the fundamentals that they base their religion upon, and which every Muslim should be aware of, so as not to be tricked by their plots. The one who is ignorant of them may be deceived by their outward appearance at times, and may even be tricked by the things they say and do, all because he is ignorant of the fact that their religion is one of lies.

Second Khutbah

Oh Muslims! Some might say, “What you mentioned is fine, but the Shee’ah of today are far from the differences that occurred between themselves and the people of the Sunnah of old; they have left those discrepancies and are keen to unite the Muslims.” The one who says this has strayed form the truth, because the Shee’ah of today are worse then the Shee’ah of old. Their system of belief and practice is built on the fundamental of destroying Islaam from the roots, shaking its foundations, causing differences between the Muslims, and destroying their unity, if able.

Servants of Allaah! Whoever knows of the plots of the Shee’ah minister Ibn Al-’Alqami, and the way in which he brought destruction to the Muslims, will not be surprised about the actions of the Shee’ah in the sacred city of Makkah. What happened in Makkah was not a demonstration, but a conspiracy; nor was it planned by the pilgrims of Iran alone.

What happened was only an attempt to widen the Gulf War, an attempt planned by the rule of Tehran. They wanted to bring the problems of Iran to the Gulf and shake the security and peace of the region. Therefore, time has come to pull back the false veil of the Iranian Revolution. Time has come to show the reality of the war between Iran and Iraq…a war between the Arabs and the Persians. Islaam is free from such a war. Islaam is not the catalyst for the Iranians as much as Persian pride is.

The sparking of this dangerous call started before the Iranian revolution, shortly before the fall of the Shah, when the Shah put on large festivals and celebrations in remembrance of one of the great figureheads of Persian history, Koorash. He called a number of people from outside of Iran to one such festival, and fed them peacock in commemoration of this event. The Shah was overthrown, but the spark remained.

A spark to ignite the people of Persia and the Persian Empire long after being overthrown by Islaam. So when the current revolution started, and Iran started its war with Iraq, the authorities spread this idea through the minds of the Iranian people, and painted it in the picture of Islaam, in order to fool to weak and simple minded, so that they would put their lives on the frontlines for the vain cause of the revolution.

To prove that what happened in Makkah was a plot, and that those who planned it did not come for the sake of Hajj, all we have to do is look to the great amount of banners that were flown that day and the amount of knifes carried.

The newspaper ‘Ukaath printed in its Wednesday edition, on the 18th of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, a picture of one of the printed invitation cards that were passed out before the riot, and I will read to you the text exactly as it was printed.

At the top it was written:

“In the Name of Allaah the Most High, and out of giving greatness to the signs of Allah, and life to the Sunnah of the Messenger, we call you to join us in showing your independence from the Polytheists.

The time: The day of Jumu’ah, the sixth day of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, Four-thirty in the afternoon.

The place: The Sacred City of Makkah, the courtyard.”

They wrote this in the name of Allaah, using the name of the Lord for the purpose of hatred! Look at the way they worship their leaders, obeying them in matters which Allaah has forbidden, that being in the sacred city of Allaah, in the sacred month of Dhul-Hijjah, they take their priests and rabbis as Lords other than Allaah.

On top of this, they claim that this crime of theirs is from the Sunnah of the Messenger sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, while the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam has said, in the hadeeth narrated by Ibn ‘Abbaas: “The three most hated people to me are: One causing disruption and corruption within the Sacred Boundaries (of Makkah), and one who wishes to introduce into Islam the ways of the times of ignorance, and one who seeks the blood of another without any reason except that he wishes to spill it.” (Bukhaari)

They claim that their actions were done out of giving greatness to the signs of Allaah, but tell us when has this ever been done by violating the sacredness of Makkah, the sacred months, and the sacredness of the Muslims?

Seeing is believing, and the newspapers circulated pictures of the riots that took place. Pictures which make emotions fly, showing how they rampaged the courtyards of the sacred Mosque, and ran terror into the hearts of the Pilgrims, running over the innocent, violating the holy status of Makkah, a place where mankind gathers to console their hearts, turn to their Lord, and seek His forgiveness. Responding to His call from every crevice of the earth, only to be exposed to a scene of murder and rage.

So we should ask: What type of faith possesses a people to commit such acts, if they really have faith? Any sane person can tell that behind these acts are those that only wish to endorse terrorism and animosity towards the Muslims and their sacred lands.

Servants of Allaah! The question that comes to mind after all this is: Is it possible for those who change the Qur’aan, lie against the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), curse his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them all), and make lying part of their faith; is it possible for those that do such things to be Muslims?
