The Islāmic-Clarification of Marital-Rape

This is something which had been on my Mind/Heart for a Long-Time, regarding precisely how to tackle it. There’s 2 Polarizing Stances holistically as per This-Issue: a. That there’s no such Thing as Marital-Rape…b. That Marital-Rape is anything which any Woman says that it is. Both are Equally-Negative/Toxic Interpretations. This-Conversation will (no Doubt at all) be something Extremely-Risky, because if one is apathetic/careless, they can easily be stigmatized/accused as being a “Sympathizer/Proponent” of Rape-Culture. Even for me personally: for me to dare address this Type/Kind of Issue is quite dangerous for me. It’s something which can yield a Significant-Amount of Backlash, which can backfire in a Terrible-Way absolutely not in my Favor. The Subject of “Marital-Rape” is, by default, very controversial for Obvious-Reasons. It’s something which I (via my Profession as a Chaplain [Counselor/Therapist]) am very familiarized with. Likewise, because of my Position as a Chaplain: this is something that has potential to alienate me astronomically. I’ve literally counseled Countless-Persons regarding This-Issue. And, there’s 0-Doubt concerning how much of a Necessity it is to educate Others (Men especially) the Reality of This-Issue. The 1st-Thing which must be recognized/accepted is that Marital-Rape is a Real-Thing & there’s 0 Islāmic-Justification to deny this. The 2nd-Thing is that “Marital-Rape” must be accurately&honestly defined. The 3rd-Thing is that “Marital-Rape” must be understood via the Context of ash-Sharī`ah/Islāmic-Law, as opposed to Secular-Law. The 4th-Thing is that “Marital-Rape” must be compared/contrasted to Sexual-Abuse & must be examined as per if/how it’s Islāmically-Punishable. I plan to purposely ruffle the Feathers of Lots of People, because Convos like this must be had & being soft about it just can’t/won’t get it done.

Defining “Marital-Rape”

Any&all Sexual-Contact/Acts imposed upon Spouses without Sexual-Consent.

Defining al-Ightisāb/Sexual-Abuse:

Any&all Sexual-Contact which is imposed upon Others without Sexual-Consent (Necrophilia, Bestiality, Child-Molestation, Rape, Sex-Trafficking/Prostitution, etc.).

(Lisān-ul-`Arab: Lexicon of the Arabic-Language, ibn-Manzhūr; Merriam-Webster)

Contextualizing “Marital-Rape”

Marital-Rape, mostly claimed by Women, is predicated upon the Pontification of Sexual-Agency/Autonomy. Meaning, the Concept of “Women’s-Liberation”/Feminism, fuels this. With that being said, anything which is classically understood via at-Tanzīl/Revelation, Historical-Norms via Human-Societies/Civilizations, etc. is falsely classified as Misogyny. In the case of “Marital-Rape”, this is abundantly obvious. Islāmically, in spite of the Fact that Marital-Rape is a Real-Thing, it most definitely isn’t predicated upon Feminists-Views. And, this is exclusively because of the Nature of an-Nikāh/Marriage itself. As per ash-Sharī`ah: an-Nikāh is a Religio-Sexual Commitment between Man&Woman, predicated upon at-Tanzīl. In fact, ironically: the Etymology of the Word “Nikāh” is literally al-Jinsiyyah (Sexuality/Sexual-Intercourse). By definition, Sexual-Intercourse is the Most-Rudiment/Foundational Dimension of any Marriage, so much so that if one is Sexually-Dissatisfied then that alone is Valid-Grounds for Marital-Annulment: this literally applies to both Men & Women. Allah details clearly, via The Qur’ān, that Sexual-Gratification is a Marital-Right/Expectation for both Man & Woman equally, and neither Woman nor Man is Islāmically justified to deny one another Sexual-Appeasement, as Muhammad (Peace be upon them) mentioned: “Approach them whenever/however you will, feed them what you feed yourselves, clothe them however you clothe yourselves, don’t disrespect them, don’t strike/beat them.”.
(Chpt.2, V.228; Chpt.4, V.19; Muslim; Abū-Dāwud; Lisān-ul-`Arab)

Proving Marital-Rape

What constitutes Marital-Rape according to ash-Sharī`ah can only be based on 3-Things: a. If one is forced to have Sex after being abused…b. If one is forced to have Sex while experiencing Illness…c. If one is forced to comply with participating in Islāmically-Prohibited Acts.

a. Abuse:

To abuse someone (physically, psycho-emotionally, etc.) & then to press them for Sex realistically counts as Marital-Rape, based on the Statement of Muhammad (Peace be upon them): “How dare any of you beat their Wives, as if they’re a Slave or a Beast, then expect them to be warm towards you sexually?!!!”.
(al-Bukhārī&Muslim)

b. Illness:

It’s Mahrūm/Islāmically-Prohibited to force one’s Spouse to engage in Sex while they’re Ill is in fact Marital-Rape. For the Record: a Woman experiencing their Menstrual-Cycle counts as al-Mardh (Illness/Sickness), as Allah states: “And don’t approach them, until after they purify/clear themselves (after their Menstrual-Cycle ceases).”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.2, V.222; at-Tabarī; as-Suyūtī)

c. Sexual-Prohibition:

To force one’s Spouse to commit and/or comply with Things like: al-Liwāt/Sodomy (Anal-Sex), Orgies, Prostitution, etc. is a Valid-Case for Marital-Rape.
(al-Kabā’ir/The Major-Sins, adh-Dhahabī)

Marital-Rape Exaggerations

Now, how’s it even possible for anyone to actually prove that Marital-Rape, even as per the Aforementioned-Conditions, actually took place?!!! That’s the challenge, to be able to prove it. This is where it gets very complex/complicated. And, one Particular-Example of this is a Husband enjoying their Wife while they’re asleep. Ironically enough, there’s actually those whom would actually consider something like this to constitute as “Marital-Rape”…Islāmically something like this most definitely doesn’t fall under Marital-Rape inherently by the way. I’ve literally counseled Men whose Wives have literally accused them of “Marital-Rape”, resulting from them wanting Sex while the Woman is asleep. This is honestly quite ridiculous though. I mean, that’s literally like any Husband crying “Marital-Rape”, resultung from their Wife giving them Blowjobs while they’re asleep…like seriously, really?!!! Also, even if/when any Woman can prove Marital-Rape: exactly what Kind/Type of Hadd/Islāmic-Punishment does one actually expect that their Spouse receive?!!! Because, afterall, the Hadd for al-Ightisāb is Death-Penalty.
(Abū-Dawud)

Retribution for Marital-Rape

Realistically, external of any Secular-Law: there’s actually 0 Revelatory/Textual Hadd for Marital-Rape, in spite of it definitely being Islāmically-Wrong. And, in All-Truthfulness, there’s plenty of Other-Sins which don’t have any Mundane-Hudūd/Islāmic-Punishments attached to them (like purposely not fasting via the Month of Ramadhān, purposely not making al-Hajj/Pilgrimage, an-Namīmah/Backbiting, etc.). However, via the Ākhirah/Hereafter, Allah will choose whether or not Allah will forgive/pardon vs. shun/punish those whom commit this. Because, surely, no one will escape the Qist/Justice of Allah. Anything/everything which is done Allah knows it, records it, will press those whom do it, as They mention regarding al-Mujrimūn/the Criminals: “What Kind/Type of Book is this (their own Record of Deeds) which leaves nothin small nor large, expect that it’s been enumerated/recorded?!!!”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.10, V.44, Chpt.18, V.49)

Clearly, there’s going to be People who’ll despise what I’ve presented via This-Article & of course: Controversy isn’t something which I’m foreign to, nor am I shy from. However, I must be Muslim-1st. And, via being Muslim-1st, I’ll most definitely piss People off & I’m OK with that. Besides, I’m Smart/Wise enough to know what I always tell People: Controversy is the Best-Publicity.

Starving for Attention via Preying upon the Ignorant

The Person depicted via this Picture is
Nahiem Ajmal (AKA “Mufti Abu Layth”)

Allah states: “Have you seen those whom take their Desires as their God? Are you then their Enabler?
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.25, V.43)

Let’s talk about Mufti Abū-Layth

Nahiem Ajmal is their Real-Name, by the way. They’ve made quite the Name/Reputation for themselves, for a Long-Time, via their Self-Proclaimed Religio-Scholarship (and/or lack-thereof). However, they’ve particularly embarked upon something very dangerous. This Particular-Thing is literally attacking one of the most Respected Religio-Scholars amongst Muslums since the Revelation of The Qur’ān: Muhammad ibn-Ismā`īl al-Bukhārī. The most Wellknown-Canon of Religio-Academic Work of al-Bukhārī actually bears their Moniker: Sahīh-ul-Bukhārī/the Authentic-Collection of al-Bukhārī. This-Work is known even by Non-Muslims, as a Premier-Source for Revelatory/Textual-Info. regarding al-Islām (relative to the Revelation of The Qur’ān). But, sadly, there’re Persons like Abī-Layth whom deem to totally discredit al-Bukhārī…why I honestly don’t even know. What I do know is that, simply as an Islāmic-Academic: al-Bukhārī was (still is Centuries after their Death) Light-Years ahead of the Likes of Abī-Layth, especially via their Mukhtasir/Specialty of Religio-Scholarship known as `Ulūm-il-Hadīth/Hadīth-Science (the Islāmic-Discipline dedicated to the Preservation/Documentation of The Qur’ān & the Sunnah/Prophetic-Tradition jointly). The Irony is that even the Religio-Opposition to al-Bukhārī, via their Lifetime, praised their Religio-Scholastic Diligence.

http://www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2013/08/17/quranandsunnahjointly

Let’s talk about al-Imma`tiyyah (Groupie/Stan-Culture) via “Muslim-Celebrity/Scholar” Culture

Abū-Layth isn’t the Only-Muslim to criticize someone like al-Bukhārī, or any other `Ālim (Muslim Religio-Academic/Scholar). And, really, This-Issue is much deeper than Abū-Layth criticizing al-Bukhārī. What it’s truly about is someone like Abū-Layth, whom knows that there’s a Following which they have, whom outlandishly posture Things regarding Religio-Dynamics/Issues which are quite honestly their Audience doesn’t possess the Objectivity to handle. And, this comes at the Expense of Ignorant/Impressionable-Persons literally rejecting Islāmic-Knowledge (via Revelatory-Texts), without any Justification, simply because their “Favorite-Scholar/Speaker” said so. Their Audience are Dick-Riders, whom’ll literally co-sign anything/everything which they state, via Personality-Worship (Another-Sifah/Manifestation of al-Imma`tiyyah by the way). People whom’re Religio-Groupies of Persons like Abī-Layth are the Reason how/why Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Don’t be an Imma`ah/Dick-Rider.”.
(at-Tirmidhī)

Ironically, it’s literally no different than how Rap-Beefs catapult into Street-Violence, for no other Reason than a Person dick-riding what they’ve heard from a Rap-Song, a Rapper-Interview, etc. Just as Allah states: “And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.”. Also, Muhammad (Peace be upon them stated: Apathy/Arrogance is denying Truth & mocking People.”. As well, Mu`ādh ibn-Jabal (May Allah be pleased with them) stated: “Always accept Truth, even if it comes from a Kāfir (Disbeliever/Non-Muslim) or a Fāsiq/Sinful-Person. And, this sets the Precedent for the Islāmic-Principle: “Truth is Truth, regardless of whom/where it comes from.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8; an-Nawawī; Abū-Dāwud)

Let’s talk about the “Bukhārīgate” Video-Series produced via Abī-Layth

https://youtu.be/X6SfFYRljeY

https://youtu.be/IijbMTxUEOw 

I watched both Part-1 & Part-2. I’ve personally commented on both Part-1&2 Videos. I’ve even personally messaged Abā-Layth almost everything mentioned here, almost Word4Word prior to actually authoring this Article. I’m not going to give Commentary upon the Entirety of both Videos. But, what I will do is simply detail some Specific-Things which Abā-Layth literally proves the Depths of their own: Ignorance, Apathy/Arrogance, etc.

Beginning from 5:30 on the Part-2 of this “Bukhārīgate” Video-Series: There’ a Story which Abū-Layth criticizes a Scenario, in which Muhammad (Peace be upon them) witnessed an Unnamed-Companion (May Allah be pleased with them) praying & reciting from The Qur’ān which was removed from the Mushaf/Corpus of The Qur’ān via an-Naskh (Abrogation/Cancelation). This was clearly referring to a Companion whom was reciting something from The Qur’ān which was Mansūkh (Religio-Abrogated/Canceled) as well as striken from the Dhikr/Memory of Muhammad, Mushaf of The Qur’ān, etc.

Equally, it was clear that This-Person was reciting (from Such&Such-Sūrah/Chapter from The Qur’ān) something from The Qur’ān which they learned prior to Those-Āyāt/Verses being Mansūkh. Also, as per the Athar/Non-Prophetic Narration of `Umar ibn-il-Khattāb (May Allah be pleased with them): it was clear that the Āyah/Verse of al-Jamrah/Stonning was as well amongst the Āyāt which were Mansūkh.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.87, V.6&7; at-Tabarī; as-Suyūtī; al-Bukhārī)

As per 15:55 on the Par-2 of this “Bukhārīgate” Video-Series: It was a Known-Fact, that Muhammad (Peace be upon them) were Illiterate & never learned how to read/write. Also, when any Human is dying, then Yes…they do in fact experience Certain-Severities of Dellirium: Muhammad (Peace be upon them) was never spared from this. Also, on their Deathbed, they literally mentioned to their Daughter Fātimah (May Allah be pleased with them), 1-Day prior to their Death: “After This-Day I’ll no longer suffer.”, pertaining to the Agony/Suffering-Of-Death. as-Sakrah/Dellirium is a Sifah/Manifestation of Agony/Suffering, especially via al-Mawt/Death. This particularly pertains to the Dying-Days of Muhammad: they requested Pen&Paper to author/write something, in spite of the Fact that it was Mutawātir/Common-Knowledge that they never learned al-Kitābah/Literacy.

http://www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2019/11/13/quranism

And, moreover: their Claims that Animals never verbally communicated with Anbiyā’/Prophetic-Individuals (Peace be upon them altogether) & them disputing the Sexual-Prowess of Sulaymān/Solomon: they had Fawā’id/Capabilities which no other Kawn/Makhlūq (Being/Created-Thing) had. They possessed Overwhelming-Capabilities to communicate with Terrestrial-Beings like Animals, Jinns/Fire-Beings, Angels, even Allah Themselves, etc. And, Allah gave Primal/Physical-Strength to Anbiyā’ which’re totally unmatched in comparison to Other-Beings. Furthermore, there’s a Difference between a Fitnah/Test & an `Adhāb/Punishment. Anbiyā’ were in fact tested via Deaths/Injuries upon themselves, their Loved-Ones, etc. (Ayyūb/Job [Peace be upon them] as an Ideal-Example). As for Animals being miraculously allowed by Allah to speak…Allah has allowed Infants to speak, and both Animals & Infants speaking are documented as Mu`jizāt/Prophetic-Miracles even prior to the Revelation of The Qur’ān.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.7, V.157&158; Chpt.50, V.19; al-Bukhārī; at-Tabarī, as-Suyūtī, ibn-Kathīr)

Also, via the Part-2 Video-Series: Abū-Layth is an Outright-Kādhib/Liar…Allah literally uses the Wording “Radhiyallahu/Allah is pleased”…Multiple-Times via The Qur’ān. So, them criticizing a Hadīth (Recorded/Documented-Narration) of Muhammad stating that Allah was pleased with both `Abdillah ibn-`Uthmān ibn-`Āmir & `Umar ibn-il-Khattāb (May Allah be pleased with them both), claiming that the Wording of the Narration has 0 Islāmic-Validity is a Kadhib/Lie.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.119; Chpt.9, V.100; Chpt.58, V.22: Chpt.98, V.8)

I’ll leave it up to you, the Reader, to make your own Determinations about Abī-Layth…I’ve made my own.

al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia: Ukraine-Edition

al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia: Ukraine-Edition

Political-Hypocrisy: Ukraine-Edition

And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8)

Russia, headed by Vladimir Putin, invaded/occupied Ukraine in Feb. of 2022. The World watched-on, as Putin postured very similarly to the likes of: Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, etc. sweeping across the Crimea. It’s literally like reliving 1939 all over again, as the 3rd-Reich mowed over Poland via World-War II. Russia has been condemned for this naturally. However, it’s in fact ironic who’s leading the Charge to condemn Russia in the 1st-Place: the US & Israel. Both these Nation-States have literally done the Same-Things via their Histories. The US annexing the Entirety of what’s now the United States via the “Indian-Wars”…Israel annexing of the Sinai-Peninsula, the West-Bank, the Golan-Heights, etc. via the “Arab-Israeli Wars” from the 1950’s-1970’s…the US invading/occupying: Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Somalia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. Also, assisting their Allies to drone/bomb Syria & Yemen to Death. This is supposed to be “tolerable/acceptable”, while they’ve the Audacity to judge the Actions of Russia?!!!

The Reality of Anti-Blackness which Muslims pretend doesn’t exist

Persons like them are literally no different from/than Said Rageah:

Every Muslim of Afro-Descent or “Afro-Looking”, “Black-Looking”, etc. has at least 1-Story just like this, when they were victimized and/or directly confronted/addressed al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia via Anti-Blackness. Regardless of whom is willing to admit this or not: it’s a Harsh-Reality.

There’s actually Several-Resources which validly depict how/why Anti-Blackness amongst Muslims is a Serious-Problem:

a. The Muslim-Caste System which Muslims have established as an Unwritten-Rule for the Past-Millennium
(www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2020/03/16/muslimcastesystem)

b. The Bilāl-Mythos
(www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2018/02/04/bilalmoviereinforcesslavenarrative)

c. al-`Asabiyyah (Xenophobia via White-Supremacy/Anti-Black ness) via Muslim Religio-Scholarship
(www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2020/09/08/antiblacknessandtextualdistortion)

d. Religio-Rejection of “Black-Lives Matter”

The Mentality of the True-Muslim towards a Fellow-Muslim

Allah says: “And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8)

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Apathy/Arrogance is denying Truth & mocking People.”.
(an-Nawawī)

Mu`ādh ibn-Jabal (May Allah be pleased with them) stated: “Always accept Truth, even if/when it comes from a Non-Muslim or a Muslim-Sinner.”.
(Abū-Dāwud)

This is literally where the Islāmic-Principle, “Truth is Truth, regardless of whom/where it comes from.”.

In spite of the Fact that the Person featured in This-Video, Mysonne Linen, is a Non-Muslim: principally there’s a lot which Muslims must/can learn from this Video-Clip. What was articulated via This-Video is precisely what al-Islām pontificates/promotes as per Religio-Spiritual Fraternity towards Fellow-Muslims. And, ironically, Muslims are supposed to implement what’s detailed within This-Video more than any other Human-Being. However, sadly, at Times we implement this the least if at all.

One of the most Heartbreaking-Realities which I’ve endured, witnessed, observed, etc. is that there’s Muslims all across the Muslim-World who’ve unshamefully spilled the Blood of Fellow-Muslims: from the 1st-Killing via Human-History at the Hands of Qābīl/Cain when they murdered their Brother Hābīl/Abel, to the Assassination of `Uthmān ibn-`Affān (May Allah be pleased with them) which was the Catalyst for the Civil-War between `Alī ibn-`Imrān & Mu`āwiyah ibn-Sakhr (May Allah be pleased with them both), to the Massacre of Karbalā’ in which Several-Relatives of Muhammad (Peace be upon them) including their Maternal-Grandson al-Husayn ibn-`Alī (May Allah be pleased with them) were slaughtered, to the Invasion of the Muslim-Armies of Northern-Africa into the Muslim-Empires of Muslim-Iberia & Western-Africa, to the Muslim-Arabs assisting Non-Muslim/Western Powers to destroy al-Khilāfah/Islāmic-Governance via the Ottoman-Empire, to Muslim-Countries assisting Non-Muslim Countries invade/occupy & terrorize Fellow Muslim-Countries, etc., from Philadelphia, PA to NYC, NY…there’s Countless-Examples of how Muslims blatantly kill Other-Muslims.

A post shared by Amir Muhadith (@realloon2amir)

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “There’s only 3-Justifications to harm a Fellow-Muslim: a. A Sexual-Offence which requires the Death-Penalty…b. Murder…c. Betrayal of the Muslims which is an Act-Of-Apostasy.”.
(an-Nawawī)

There’s definitely Reasons how/why Today’s-Muslim has 0-Problem with taking the Life of any Fellow-Muslim. I’ll focus on two of These-Reasons:

1. al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia
http://www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2021/12/27/traditionofsatan

2. al-Hizbiyyah/Religio-Sectarianism
http://www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2021/12/23/hizbiyyah

These 2-Things alone have contributed to more Muslim-Muslim Bloodshed than anything else humanly imaginable. However, sadly: there’s Muslims whom refuse to learn the `Ibrah/Lesson of Oppression’s-Past. And, because of this, we as Muslims continue to perpetuate the Negative/Toxic-Cycle of Muslim-Muslim Qattāl/Violence. We as Muslims must sincerely/intelligently self-examine what exactly drives us to even want/desire to end the Lives of Fellow-Muslims…what Appeal/Enjoyment do we get out of this…etc. We must forcefully ask ourselves: How/why does any Muslim even enjoy spilling the Blood/taking the Life of any Fellow-Muslim?!!!

al-`Asabiyyah: the Sunnah/Tradition of ash-Shaytān/Satan

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) foretold that their Ummah/Nation will never abandon al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia.
(Muslim)

Morad Awad interviewed Gareth Bryant, concerning how detrimental al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia plays-out amongst All-Muslims via the Muslim-World. This is based upon Muhammad (Peace be upon them) warning us, that there’s 4-Manifestations of al-Jāhiliyyah/Ignorance which their Nation will never abandon. 2/4-Things deal directly with al-`Asabiyyah.
(Muslim)

This-Interview ended-up being a Culmnation, of Subjects/Topics that I’ve written about for quite awhile. It’s exclusively predicated upon my Personal Life-Experience, coupled with Obervations/Assessments of Human-Nature/Behavior. The Conclusions which I come to are harrowng, to put it mildly.

http://www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2020/06/10/islamophobiaviaxenophobia/

What I’ve realized is that Apathy (Indifference/Carelessness) is truly the Order of the Day. And, it as well stands as a Dark-Hallmark as per Human-Legacy. Throughout Human-History: al-`Asabiyyah has been, at many Times, been the Sole-Reason how/why Countless-Peoples became Victims/Casualties of Theft, Rape, Murder. al-`Asabiyyah has undoubtedly proven to be amongst the Most-Destructive Things which Humanity has ever chosen to entertain. However, sadly&pitifully, there’s Certain-Persons via our World whom actually enjoy al-`Asabiyyah & how it yields at-Tahlakah/Destruction. And, there’s 0-Doubt that Persons like them are Shayātīn/Satanists…as I always tell People: You don’t have to be a Jinn/Fire-Being to be a Shaytān/Satanist.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.114)

Understanding Religio-Sectarianism amongst Muslims

1. `Aqā’id/Religio-Theological Schools

Atharism, Ash`arism, Māturīdism, Mu`tazilism, Qadarism, Jabarism, Murji’ism, etc. Originally, these `Aqā’id were exclusively used to interpret al-`Aqīdah/Islāmic-Theology (which is a Religio-Scholastic Euphemism of/for the 6-Arkān/Pillars of al-Īmān/Faith). However, over Time & via Human-Ego/Desire: These-`Aqā’id are nothing more than Instruments of Religio-Academic/Scholastic Dick-Measuring Contests & Fake-Wokeness via Muslim-Coonery, attempting to determine/decide who’s really Muslim vs. who’s really Non-Muslim. And, this has historically/contemporaneously has led to the spilling of Muslim-Blood/the Loss of Muslim-Life, the Confiscation of Muslim-Possessions, the Humiliation of Fellow-Muslims, etc. via Takfīr/Blasphemy-Culture which has always been Mahrūm/Islāmically-Prohibited. For a Long-Time: Muslims have internally suffered from our own Muslim vs. Muslim Versions of Religio-Inquisitions.

Muhhammad (Peace be upon him) stated the following, regarding at-Takfīr/Blasphemy:

“No Person accuses another of either being a Fāsiq/Sinner or a Kāfir (Disbeliever/Non-Muslim), except that they’re one themselves, if the Other isn’t which they’ve pontificated/claimed.”.
(al-Bukhārī)

“Whomever attributes/ascribes Kufr (Disbelief) to their Brother is just like their Killer/Murderer.”.
(al-Bukhārī, at-Tirmidhī)

“If a Muslim calls someone a Kāfir (Disbeliever/Non-Muslim): if they are then let it be, otherwise they themselves are a Kāfir.”
(Abū-Dāwud)

2. Madhāhib (Religio-Legal Schools)

Ja`farism, Zaydism, Hanafism, Mālikism, Shāfī`ism, Hanbalism, Ibādhism, Zhāhirism, etc. Originally, These-Madhāhib were exclusively used to simply interpret ash-Sharī`ah/Islāmic-Law. However, over Time via: Human-Ego/Desire, the Pathological-Influence/Dominance of the `Aqā’id, Cultural-Colonization, Arabism, al-Bid`ah/Religio-Innovation, etc. These-Madhāhib have become tainted/corrupted via Various-Ways which’re potentially irreversible.

3. Manāhij (Religio-Political Groups/Ideologies)

Shī`ism, Sūfism, Salafism, Ikhwānism, Tablīghism, Deobandism, Brelwism, Pan-Arabism/Ba`thism, al-Qā`idah, ISIS/ISIL, Boko-Haram, ash-Shabāb, Tālibān, PLO, Hamās, Hizbullah, etc. All of These-Groups have, based on Agenda, Convenience, etc. have used `Aqā’id & Madhāhib to pontificate/promote their Goals which’ve always had (negative, toxic, destructive, etc.) Consequences which’ve been very costly for the Muslim-World: anywhere/everywhere Muslims globally exist.

For more Info. about Religio-Sectarian/Political Groups:

http://www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2014/05/15/diseasesanddrugs/

The Average-Muslim doesn’t even know the Basic-Origins of any of these Ahzāb/Religio-Sectarian Groups & doesn’t care either. The Average-Muslim just wants to be a Muslim. I can humanly guarantee you that, historically (relative to the Revelation of The Qur’ān): barely 10% of the Muslim-World has ever pontificated/claimed to be Hizbīs (Religio-Sectarian Ascribers/Adherents). And, this speaks truly to the Words of Muhammad (Peace be upon them) when they told/warned us that amongst the Yahūd/Jews there’ll be 71-Ahzāb, amongst the Nasārā/Christians there’ll be 72-Ahzāb, amongst the Muslims there’ll be 73-Ahzāb & they’ll all be Hell-Bound except al-Jamā`āh/the Collective-Body of the Muslims: the Average-Muslims whom stay out of the Way & avoid this Fitnah/Goofy-Shit known as al-Hizbiyyah.
(at-Tirmidhī, Abū-Dāwud, ibn-Mājah, ibn-Hibbān)

We were equally warned via Muhammad, concerning al-Istikbār/Arrogance, thinking/feeling that we alone are the Source of our Najiyyah/Salvation. an-Najiyyah solely belongs to Allah & the Arrogant have 0-Portion of Salvation from Allah. These Ahzāb commonly actually think/feel, as the Sentiment of the Aforementioned-Video, that they alone can achieve al-Jannah/Paradise & anyone whom isn’t amongst them will attain an-Nār/the Fire. This is literally the Mindset/Mentality of al-Kharajiyyah/Religio-Extremism & Muhammad spoke against al-Khawārij, as per their Arrogance, labeling them as “…Kilāb-un-Nār/Dogs of the Fire.”.
(ibn-Mājah)

So, in Conclusion: just be an Average-Muslim, simply be Part of the Jamā`ah/the Collective.

In My Lifetime as a Muslim

Via my Lifetime as a Muslim, I’ve observed/witnessed the Following-Realities:

a. Muslim Afro-Americans have fully complied with Arabism, via Muslim Cultural-Colonization (Non-Islāmic Name-Changing, Arab-Dress, Arab-Acsents, etc.), as if al-Islām = Arab and/or Arab = al-Islām, in spite of the Fact that al-Islām literally predates the Revelation of The Qur’ān.

b. They’ve systematically tolerated/accepted the Mythos/Pseudo-Narrative of being “Muslim-Only”. No one is “Muslim-Only”: we’re Muslim-1st, not “Muslim-Only”, because being a Muslim will never be one’s Only-Identity but rather one’s Most-Important Identity. Every Muslim has Socio-Cultural
Autonomy/Agency, according to al-Islām & it’s a Farīdhah/Islāmic-Mandate to respect that.

c. Muslim Afro-Americans refuse to give one another the Same-Type/Kind of Respect as they do Muslims of Other-Demographics. Literally, there’s Negative-Things which Muslim Afro-Americans do to each other that they’d rarely ever do to Muslims whom’re Non Afro-American. A Definitive-Manifestation of Unhealed Self-Hate.

d. Muslim Afro-Americans holistically refuse to respect the Religio-Scholarship of Fellow Muslim Afro-Americans, unless they’re shackled to the Walā’/Loyalty of Ahzāb/Religio-Sectarian Groups, which’re controlled, influenced, funded, etc. via Muslim-Foreigner Influence, Cultural-Colonization, Arabism, etc. Again…Unhealed Self-Hate.

e. They refuse to collectively invest, support, fundraise, etc. for one another but are very quick to invest, support, fundraise, etc. for other Muslim-Demographics. Again…Unhealed Self-Hate.

f. They refuse to support Socio-Religio/Political Issues which directly affect Muslim&Non-Muslim Afro-Americans, yet ironically are on the Frontlines supporting Socio-Religio/Political Issues of Other-Demographics whether they’re Muslims or Non-Muslims, under the Pseudo-Auspices of the “1-Ummah” Concept, which honestly hasn’t been a Religio-Reality via the Muslim-World for Centuries. Again…Unhealed Self-Hate.

g. They continue to grant Unwarranted/Unjust-Favortism towards the NOI (Nation Of Islam) which literally hasn’t done anything to empower the Progress/Progression of the Muslim Afro-American. Worse yet: the NOI still directly/overtly pontificates&promotes Things which directly/overtly oppose Islāmic-Theology. Classic Goofy-Shit via Muslim-Coonery.

One of the Greatest-Fallacies which Muslim Non-Arabs have fallen for is the “Muslim-Only” Mythos/Pseudo-Narrative…there’s no such Thing as this. We’re not “Muslim-Only”, rather we’re Muslim-1st. Being a Muslim isn’t the Only-Dimension of our Identity, it’s the Most-Important Dimension of our Identity…it’s not the Only-Thing which makes us who we are, it’s the Most-Important Thing concerning who we are. And, for the Muslim, it’s Life&Death-Important to know the Difference.

I know that there’s People whom’re going to disagree with the Truth/Honesty which I’ve stated. I honestly don’t care.
