Debunking the Infamous Ash`arī-Kalām/Rhetoric Talking-Point: The “Allah doesn’t exist in a Place.” Argument

Allah states:

“And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.”

(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8)

Why the “Necessity” to “Debunk” any “Ash`arī Talking-Point”?!!!

GoodQuestion…

…Answer:

Very often…in fact far too often actually-There’s Certain-Persons via Team-Ash`arī, and/or Pseudo-Ash`arīs (or as Lavotte Saunders [the Golden-Boy of Team-Atharī] has told me as per our Prior-Convos are Ash`arī-Pretenders), whom live to theologically attack Fellow-Muslims simply because they’re Non-Ash`arīs. This, of course, in spite of the Fact that the Progenitor/Founder of al-Ash`ariyyah/Ash`arism literally warned against doing so on their own Deathbed via Baghdād. `Alī ibn-Ismā`īl ibn-Ishāq (AKA Abul-Hasan al-Ash`arī), Progentior/Founder of the Ash`arī-`Aqīdah/Theology-School…on their own Deathbed they literally made at-Tawbah/Repentance against their own Former-Madhāhib/Stances surrounding imposing Unjust-Takfīr/Blasphemy against Muslim Non-Ash`arīs.

The Ugly-History of the “`Aqīdah/Creed-Wars”

The Tawbah of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī

“Take witness, that verily I no longer make Takfīr/Blasphemy against any amongst the People-Of-Qiblah/Direction. All of them worship the Same-God, but they only differ regarding Theological-Interpretations.”

(adh-Dhahabī&al-Bayhaqī)

How/why is the Deathbed-Tawbah of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī so important?!!!

Good-Question…

…Answer:

Its important as it’s a Hujjah/Refutation, against any/all Pseudo-Ash`arīs whom pontificate to have “Correct-Creed”: those whom claim to ascribe to Ash`arism yet literally reject the Deathbed-Tawbah of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī. Conveniently, there’s Countless-Ash`arīs whom audaciously/arrogantly reject the Deathbed-Tawbah of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī: the Irony of course being that one of the Persons whom recorded & transmitted the Deathbed-Tawbah of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī was al-Bayhaqī…an Ash`arī themselves. And, there’s none whom dares to pontificate/claim that al-Bayhaqī is a “Liar”, a “Dishonest-Person”, “Unreliable”, etc.

Gareth Bryant’s Hujjah/Refutation against the “Imāms-Roundtable”

What does it mean to “reject” the Deathbed-Tawbah of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī?!!!

There’s an Important-Sabab/Reason how/why there’s Countless-Ash`arīs and/or Ash`arī-Pretenders would dare reject the Deathbed-Tawbah of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī…it’s because it directly debunks any/all their Pseudo-Justifications to impose Unjust-Takfīr against Fellow-Muslims whom’re Non-Ash`arīs. These-Persons can’t stand it, if/when the Deathbed-Tawbah of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī is brought-up. The Deathbed-Tawbah of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī literally knocks the Winds rite outta the Sails of their FisherPrice Ash`arī-Boats.

The Haqqover/Super-Hizbī: Debunking the Pseudo-Justifications for Takfīr-Culture

How does any “Ash`arī Talking-Point” promote “Unjust-Takfīr”?!!!

Good-Question…

…Answer:

It’s literally within my Article-Title, “Allah doesn’t exist in a Place.”?!!!

Well…what’s “Wrong” with the Statement itself?!!!

The Statement itself is 💯%-Truth/Honesty. Yet, at the Same-Time, no Muslim ever believes the Opposite of That-Statement anyway.

What does that mean?!!!

Good-Question…

…Answer:

Meaning, as per the Average/Regular-Muslim…it’d literally be impossible for any Muslim to ever pontificate/claim that Allah exists via any “Place”. In fact, I can humanly guarantee that no Ash`arī has ever personally known any Average/Regular-Muslim claim that Allah exists in any “Place”. So, for any Ash`arī to scream to the Top of their Lungs (figuratively & literally because I’ve witnessed both via Online & Real-Life) “Allah doesn’t exist in a Place.”: they sound Dumb-As-Fuck addressing this to any Fellow-Muslim. No Average/Regular-Muslim “believes” that Allah is: “confined”, or “limited”, or “subjected”, or “constricted”, or “restricted”, or “exclusive” to any “Space”, “Place”, “Location”, “Duration”, “Station”, Direction, etc.

at-Tafwīdh/Neutrality vs. at-Ta’wīl/Interpretation concerning the Sifāt/Qualities-Of-Allah

Well…how/why would/should any Ash`arī ever think/feel they “need” to constantly/consistently recycle the “Allah doesn’t exist in a Place.?!!!

Good-Question…

…Answer:

Ash`arīs (more accurately/honestly these Ash`arī-Wannabes) exclusively aim to claim that Muslims whom’re Non-Ash`arīs commit ash-Shirk/Association.

What’s ash-Shirk mean?!!!

Good-Question…

…Answer:

ash-Shirk is literally the Polar-Opposite of at-Tawhīd/Islāmic-Monotheism. ash-Shirk is to pontificate/claim anything about Allah which isn’t directly predicated upon at-Tanzīl/Revelation. In Other-Words slandering Allah.

(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.1; Chpt.18, V.1-6; Chpt.109; Chpt.112)

And, there’s Countless Nuzūl/Revelatory-Texts which proves that no Average/Regular-Muslim believes that Allah exists via any “Place”.

A Mathl/Example of what I mean is the Following-Nuzūl

Allah literally describes themselves as:

“God-In-Heaven” & “God-In-Earth”

Now, the Word “In” much
like the Word “في”:

It doesn’t mean “Within the Heavens”, nor “Within the Earth”…

…via Asbāb-in-Nuzūl/Revelatory-Context:

“في” means “على”/”In” means “Above”

Ironically, it’s literally no different
than/from when Allah states:

“That-Book is Guidance for the Pious, because there’s 0-Doubt within it.”…As per Asbāb-in-Nuzūl:

“ذلك” actually means “هذا”

“That” actually means “This”

Even as far as how Allah describes Themselves existing above everything else which exists:

Al-`Alī/The Ultimately-Above

Al-Muta`āl/The Ultimately-Exalted

Al-A`lā/The Most-High

(Each of these are amongst
the Asmā’/Names-Of-Allah)

(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.2, V.2; Chpt.43, V.78-89; at-Tabarī; as-Suyūtī; Lisān-ul-`Arab: Lexicon of the Arabic-Language, ibn-Manzhūr)

That’s Absolutely-Horrendous…how/why would any Muslim impose such Slanderous-Allegations, against any Fellow-Muslim, just because they’re Non-Ash`arī?!!!

Good-Question…

…Answer:

Dem Mothafuckas are Evil. They subscribe to what’s known as al-Kharajiyyah/Religio-Extremism. And, ironically the Most-Extreme (Pun-Intended) Sifah/Manifestation of al-Kharajiyyah is Unjust-Takfīr/Takfīr-Culture against Fellow-Muslims. They’re precisely how/why Muhammad (Peace be upon them) described al-Khawārij/Religio-Extremists as being “Kilāb-un-Nār/Dogs of the Fire”.

(ibn-Mājah)

Now, to be just/fair…Certain-Ash`arīs aren’t the Only-Individuals whom impose Unjust-Takfīr. I’ve personally witnessed Persons via Other-Ahzāb (Religio-Cliques, Religio-Teams, Religio-Gangs, Religio-Mafias, etc.) amongst Muslims do the Same-Thing. And, truthfully/honestly, I’ve written more Articles against those Other-Ahzāb than I’ve ever written against Team-Ash`arī.

Romance of the 3-`Aqīdahs

Is Unjust-Takfīr/Takfīr-Culture the Only-Sifah of al-Kharajiyyah?!!!

Good-Question…

…Answer:

No…there’s Varied-Sifāt which constitute al-Kharajiyyah.

Are only Ash`arīs or Ash`arī-Wannabes al-Khawārij?!!!

Good-Question…

…Answer:

al-Kharajiyyah never has, nor will it ever will be Sectariancentric. Meaning, no Exclusive-Hizb/Sect alone are al-Khawārij. Realistically, any Muslim via any Hizb could be a Khārijī/Religio-Extremist…even Muslims whom’re Non-Hizbī/Sectarian could be al-Khawārij. And, that’s because al-Kharajiyyah has nothing to do with al-Hizbiyyah/Religio-Sectarianism exclusively, rather it has everything to do with al-Khuluq/al-Adab (Character/Behavior). Not only are there Ash`arī-Khawārij, there’s: Atharī-Khawārij, Māturīdī-Khawārij, Qadarī-Khawārij, Jabarī-Khawārij, Mu`tazilī-Khawārij, Sūfī-Khawārij, Shī`ī-Khawārij, Salafī-Khawārij, Ikhwānī-Khawārij, Hanafī-Khawārij, Mālikī-Khawārij, Ja`farī-Khawārij, Hanbalī-Khawārij, Shāfi`ī-Khawārij, Zaydī-Khawārij, Ibādhī-Khawārij, Zhāhirī-Khawārij, Deobandi-Khawārij, Brewlewi-Khawārij, etc. and so on.

Examining al-Kharajiyyah/Religio-Extremism via Mafia/Gang-Culture amongst Muslims historically & contemporaneously

So, how do/can we move on/forward from here?!!!

Well…I personally can’t speak for Others. However, for myself exclusively-I’ve literally made it Part of my Life’s-Work, to constantly/consistently strive against 3-Things which painfully plague the Muslims:

1. al-`asabiyyah/Xenophobia

2. al-Hizbiyyah/Religio-Sectarianism

3. al-Kharajiyyah/Religio-Extremism

The Tahkam/Irony is that All-3 are perpetually interconnected with one another & intersectional of each other.

I’ll give a Mathl of what I mean. Muslim-Arabs during World-War I used All-3 of These-Things, as Pseudo-Justifications to directly assist Non-Muslims fight against al-Khilāfah/Islāmic-Governance (via the Ottoman-Empire), during the Entirety of World-War I. This, of course, directly led to the Inception/Invention of Israel which all Muslim-Arabs have the Audacity to Bitch&Moan about.

Muslim-Politics & Muslims whom manipulate it for their own Ambitions

Speaking against & writing about the Ugliness of these Muslim-On-Muslim Atrocities: it’s become a Major-Staple of my Religio-Academic Research, moreover of my Religio-Activism.

The “Do’s & Don’t’s” for New-Muslims

Necessary-Orientation

I have listed 10-Precepts, in case any of you out there are interested in educating New-Muslims about al-Islām-It is merely my intent to prepare Orientation-Instructors, for what to mention as well as what not to mention to New-Muslims. Knowing these “Do’s & Don’ts” will give them the Capability/Ability to better educate Fellow-Muslims, concerning the Qawā`id (Fundamental-Teachings) of al-Islām. It’s very important to establish a Correct-Qa`d/Foundation, for those whom’re new to al-Islām.

We need not deviate them or confuse them, with our own Individual-Ignorance, Egotistical/Desire-Driven Agendas, etc. We should exclusively want them to be Better-Muslims than we are now. Also, we should want them to have a more Authentic-Oriention of al-Islām than we’ve ever received: free from al-Bid`ah/Religio-Innovation & Religio-Cultural Bagage. I take the Orientation of New-Muslims very seriously, mainly because I was once a New-Muslim. I was a Muslim-Rookie, at one point in the Trenches, on my own, for a Long-Time. People either didn’t give me the Correct Know-How (about al-Islām that I needed at the time), or they just didn’t give a Shit. Well, I give a Shit about Others!!!

I want to afford New-Muslims with same Islāmic-Ease&Comfort which I personally never got the chance to experience (relative to my Personal-Growth/Development as a New-Muslim). We owe that to ever New-Muslim. Transitioning from 1-Dīn/Religio-Lifestyle to Another-Dīn yields Various-Challenges for Different-People. In fact, there’s even New-Muslims whom never had any Dīn growing-up. Every New-Muslim wasn’t Formerly Judeo-Christian: they could’ve been Formerly-Hindu, Formerly-Buddhist, Formerly-Animist, Formerly-Jain, Formerly-Sikh, Formerly-Atheists, Formerly-Agnostic, Formerly-Satanist, etc. It’s never an “Easy-Decision” for any Person to forfit the `Aqīdah/Theology and/or Dīn/Religion they once held dear, to then to accept Another-`Aqīdah/Dīn. The New-Muslim needs & is entitled/justified to all of the necessary Assurity, Empathy/Compassion, Confidence, Direction, etc. humanly possible so they’re less regretful or doubtful (of the Decision that they made about becoming Muslims).

The Do’s & Don’ts of proper Islamic-Orientation are the following:

1. Do make sure that anyone who becomes Muslim, in your presence, learns & understands the Basics of at-Tawhīd (Islamic-Monotheism)!!! Also, in addition to that, they must be taught general `Aqidah (6-Pillars of al-Īmān [Belief/Faith]), as well as the 5-Pillars of al-Islām (the Most-Basic Day2Day Acts-Of-`Ibādah/Worship), as well as al-Ihsān (Excellence). These-Things are the Usūl-Fundamentals-Of-Islām, and they’re the First&Foremost-Things to be taught to a New-Muslim before anything else thereafter.

2. Do not mention anything about “changing one’s Name”!!! This has 0-Relevance concerning one’s induction into al-Islām, nor their Personal-Pevelopment as a Muslim. In fact, this Whole-Concept-Phenomenon of a New-Muslim changing one’s Name, before or after they become a Muslim Non-Islāmic!!! There is absolutely 0-Evidence from either The Qur’ān or as-Sunnah/the Prophetic-Tradition, which warrants the “Name-Change” of anyone who is new to al-Islām. Furthermore, Muslims are only religiously required to committ to a “Name-Change” regarding a Muslim’s 1st-Name, only if/when their 1st-Name has an Islamically-Negative/Inappropriate Meaning.

3. Do make sure that they learn the Basic/Principle actions of al-`Ibādah!!! It’s very important to teach them the Primary Day2ay Acts-Of-`Ibādah, as well as all the Elements associated with these Acts (as-Salah [5 Daily-Prayers], az-Zakāh [Taxation/Obligatory-Charity], as-Siyām/as-Sawm [Fasting during the Month-Of-Ramadhān], at-Tahārah/an-Nizhāfah (Islāmic-Hygiene), al-Khukuq/al-Adab [Character/Behavior]).

4. Do not try to just pour Info. down their throats at 1-Time!!! Since they’re New-Muslims, it’s going to take Time for them to grasp all of the Info. that somone is giving them-They have to be Spoon-Fed (for lack of a Better-Word). They have to be cultivated, to internalize the Normalcy of practicing al-Islām which is simple, gentile, gradual, easy.

5. Do make sure that they learn Basic Ahkām/Regulations, regarding Gender-Relations, Dietary-Code, Dress-Code, etc. It’s very important, as Muslims, that they know the Hudūd/Boundaries of Same-Gender&Opposite-Gender Engagenent. Also, they must know what is Mahlūl/Allowable & Mahrūm/Prohibited for them to dietarily consume. They must also know what’s Islamically-Appropriate/Inappropriate for them to wear.

6. Do not try to pry into the personal lives of New-Muslims!!! We must never ask or entertain Inappropiate-Inquiries, regarding the Past of a New-Muslim. Generally, whatever they have done via their Past, is in the Past, unless it involves something that is detrimental to one’s Self or Society at large. The fact that they’ve become Muslims means that Allah has automatically forgiven them, for any/all of those Past-Actions. So, we inturn, should keep Those-Things out of the Equation, regarding the Orientation of New-Muslims!!! Prying into the Personal-Lives of New-Muslims is not only in opposition to The Qur’ān & as-Sunnah, but it can also cause a New-Muslim to leave al-Islam. Many people become Muslim to turn over a New-Leaf, to end one chapter in their lives & start another, for a second chance…..we owe them all of this!!! It is not Islamically correct to make New-Muslims feel uncomfortable, by delving into their pasts. This is something which could cause them to harbor distrust, hate, and secracy towards the Muslims. We need to give them their space & allow them to grow, as well as right their own wrongs, without potential criticism from other Muslims, about what they used to do or who they used to be!!!

7. Do make sure that they receive sufficient Reading/Study-Materials, to help them with their Islamic-Studies.

8. Don not try to pressure New-Muslims who are men, to start donning Arab-Clothing. Arab-Clothing is exactly what it is: Arab-Clothing!!! This includes: Kūfīs, Thawbs/Thobes (a Judeo-Christian Arab Inception/Invention for the Record), Khuffs/Leather-Socks, Turbans, `Iqāls/Hoop-Caps, Ghutrahs/Kifayyahs (Shalls), Izārs(Waist-Wraps/Kilts) and all of that other Cultural-Shit…..keep that for the Desert!!! We are not Arabs/Desert-Dwellers…..we are Muslims!!! These-Types/Kinds of Clothes have absolutely 0-Relevance Islamically!!! There’s absolutely 0 Islāmic-Precedent established (either via The Qur’an or as-Sunnah), which “necesitates” Muslim-Men to don Arab-Clothing. As long as a Muslim-Man, wears Clothing which is Islamically acceptable, then realistically, they can wear whatever they want!!! As far as Muslim-Women are concerned, then do not try to pressure them to start covering/wearing Feminine-Hijāb (Islāmic Dress-Code for Muslim-Women from Head2Toe)!!! This is a New-Experience for them. We need to teach them how important it is for a Muslim-Woman to cover their Body firstly, as opposed to telling them what to wear vs. what not to wear. We have to allow them to gradually confrom to This-Kind/ype of Dress-Code. For Most-women, living in Societies like ours, it’s so difficult to conform to Classic Islamic Dress-Code.

9. Do make sure that New-Muslims feel comfortable when orientating them!!! A lot of Times, People want to venture off, and do things themselves. As far as Religion is concerned, Many-People are inclined to learn via Trial&Error. Very rarely does Trial&Error work, regarding a New-Muslim learning about al-Islām. Depending upon a Person’s Age, Social-Status, or General Life-Experience, etc. they’ll probably feel uncomfortable having to learn something from someone else (especially if they are not as old as they are, not as established in society as they are, or not as experienced as they are in Life, etc.). All of These-Sensitivies must be taken into account, whenever dealing with New-Muslims. Whenever one is orientating a New-Muslim, we must be careful not to make New-Muslims feel “Inferior”, “Ignorant”, “Unintelligent”, etc. Be careful not to offend them in any Way!!!

10. Do not embolden, nor suggest, any New-Muslim to join or allign themselves with any Hizb (Religio-Sect)!!! They’re New-Muslims!!! They need not be corrupted via the Muqaddimah/Introduction to these Ahzāb (Religio-Groups/Factions) from among the Muslims. Let them acquire a Firm-Foundation in Islamic-Principles & Fundamentals!!! These different groups have absolutely no relevance to New-Muslims. If anything, they should be sheltered from all of these different groups. Oftentimes, New-Muslims are so enthusiastic about being Muslims in the first place, that they’ll be quick to delve into different things, thinking that this is good for them. What adds insult-to-injury is that many Muslims have & will use this ferver of Muslims, to cultivate them the way they want to, and not necessarily the most correct way. We need to make a sincere effort, to secure the delicate integrity of New-Muslims-the complexities & politics of these different schools of Fiqh, ideologies and factions, from among the Muslims, should not be allowed, in any way, to taint the purity of their Islam.

Results of these Orientation-Precepts

These-Precepts, when followed, can & will (with the Permission of Allah) have Great-Results. New-Muslims will be given a Chance to learn al-Islām, without being made “Inferior”, without Cultural-Colonization (often containing Non-Islamic Concepts & Practices anyway), and without being dragged into the Web of Sectarian Sucka-Shit, etc. It’s my Sincere-Rajā’/Hope, that those entrusted to orientate New-Muslims take This-Task seriously-We must remember to always have Best-Interest of the New-Muslim in Mind!!! They’re vulnerable, curious, probably insecure, as well as very doubtful. It doesn’t benefit them, if we’re not sensitive to the fact that they’re new to al-Islām & require ar-Rahmah/Mercy & as-Sabr/Patience. Allah has mandated that we educate All-Persons properly about al-Islam, whether they’re Muslim-Born or Muslim-Revert, whether thry’ve been Muslims for 50-Seconds or for 50-Years. If or when we fail at that, we’ll be held accountable for any Misconception, Deviation, Confusion, Arrogance, etc. we impose upon anyone.

Romance of the 3-`Aqīdahs

Unlike the Authentic-Definition of the Term “`Aqīdah/Structure” (a Religio-Euphemism for the 6-Arkān/Pillars of al-Īmān [Islāmic-Faith/Beilef]): I’ll be utilizing “`Aqīdah” as a Minhāj (Religio-Identity/Ideology). I’ve chosen to pattern This Article after the Semi-Historical/Fantasy Spin-Off of the “Romance of the 3-Kingdoms”…arguably the Most-Tumultuous Dynastic-Period via Chinese-History. For anyone abreast of Chinese-Imperial/Dynastic History, Ancient-Chinese Literature, Martial-Arts Cinema, Video-Games, etc.: you’re very familiar with “Dynasty Warriors”. “Dynasty Warriors” was/is a very popular Video-Game Series, about the 3-Kingdoms Era of Ancient-China. I’ll be taking many Cues from my General-Knowledge of Historical-Texts, Martial-Arts Cinema, Video-Games, etc. pertaining to the Rest of the Article.

What’re the “3-Kingdoms”?!!!

Kingdom of Cao Wei/Wei

(Progenitor Cao Cao)

Kingdom of Shu Han/Shu

(Progenitor Liu Bei)

Kingdom of Dong Wu/Wu

(Progenitor Sun Jian)

What’re the “3-Aqīdahs”

The 3-`Aqīdahs are:

Team-Atharī

(The Atharīo-Family)

Team-Ash`arī

(The Isnādio-Cartel)

Team-Salafī

(La Minhāja Nostra)

Exploring Connections between the “3-Kingdoms” & the “3-`Aqīdahs”

Much like how Shu & Wu forged a Joint-Alliance against Wei…Team-Atharī & Team-Salafī have had a Tense/Complicated-Alliance against Team-Ash`arī. This 3-Pronged Conflict has proven to be full of Interpersonal-Violence, Intrigue, Treachery, Betrayal, Cunning, etc. The Power-Struggles for the Fame, the Dames, the Monies (AKA “The Bag”), the Communal-Numbers, the Promoters/Students, the Lackeys/Soldiers, the Fans/Groupies, the Street-Teams/Gang-Affiliates, the Dick-Riders, etc.: All-3 `Aqīdahs have been actively pursuing and/or attempting to maintain this for Decades/Centuries. The 3-Kingdoms (of Wei, Shu, Wu) emerged from the Ashes of the Han-Dynasty collapsing, thus facilitating a Power-Vaccum via Ancient-China. Likewise, the Weakness & Disintegration of Leadership within the Wārithī-Community (Progenitor Wallace Poole AKA “Wārithuddīn Muhammad”) gave the 3-`Aqīdahs an Unchallenged/Uncheckecked-Lane, to pursue & dominate the Landscape of Muslim-America (particularly/especially amongst Muslim Afro/Latino-Americans).

The Hujjah/Indictment against the Salafī-Mafia

Gareth Bryant’s Hujjah/Refutation against the “Imāms-Roundtable”

The Parallels between the Han-Dynasty & the Wārithī-Community

The Han-Dynasty obviously was the Most-Significant Imperial-Period via Chinese-History. I mean, as per Socio-Cultural Mythos: till This-Day the Largest-Ethnicity via China are referred to, classified, etc. as the “Han Zu/Han-People” (the “Descendants”, People, Subjects, etc. of the Han-Dynasty). Likewise, amongst Countless Muslim Afro/Latino-Americans: Wallace Poole was once Imām/Islāmic-Leader of the Largest Muslim-Community via the Western-Hemisphere. There’s literally Muslim Afro/Latino-Americans whom weren’t even alive when Wallace Poole was still the Imām of the Muslim-Community they built, but they still refer to themselves as Members of the Wārithī-Community & still state that their Imām is “Wārithuddīn Muhammad”. Till This-Day, Wallace Poole is the Most-Influential Muslim via Muslim-American History.

Wallace Poole: The Man who changed the face of al-Islām in the Americas

The Parallels between the “Rebellion of the 7-States” & the “Rebellion of Several-Shaykhs”

Spanning from the 1400’s, A.H./1980’s, C.E. and onward-There were Several-Imāms/Leaders amongst Muslim Afro/Latino-Americans whom cut/severed Ties with Wallace Poole. Some-Asbāb/Reasons were Religious, Some-Asbāb were Personal, Some-Asbāb were Religio-Political, Some-Asbāb were Religio-Personal, etc. And, much like the Weakness of the Han-Dynasty, Certain-Muslims used the Weakness of Wallace as Pseudo-Justifications to rebel against their Imārah/Imāmah (Islāmic-Leadership). The Weakness of Wallace Poole was that they weren’t as stern against Rebellion as they could’ve/should’ve been. Make no Mistake: Wallace Poole was no Coward. At the Same-Time, they weren’t a Street-Nigga either. And, specifically during those Days&Times: Certain/Most-Niggas only respected al-Qattāl/Violence. Wallace Poole was way too lenient, as a Imām, as per giving Persons via their Ranks too much Autonomy: naturally that being the Main-Ingredient used to fuel ath-Thawr/al-Khurūj/Revolt against Wallace Poole & caused Several-Persons to depart from the Wārithī-Community thus making their own Communities, joining Smaller Muslim-Communities, joining Muslim-Foreigner Communities, etc. Via al-Basīrah/Visiin (via Hindsight): this of course yielded Desasterous-Results for Muslim Afro-Latino Americans Religio-Socially/Politically. All of the Aforementioned-Scenarios directly&indirectly led to the emergence of the 3 `Aqīdah-Kingdoms.

The Demographics/Territories of the 3-`Aqīdahs

1. Establish themselves via the Hoods (where Many-Persons are downtrodden & largely unsophisticated via their Analyses of Charlatans).

2. Impress the Ignorant (via the Illusion of possessing al-`Ilmiyyah/Islāmic-Knowledge).

3. Spoonfeed Individuals whatever one wants (keeping them coming-back for more like Drug-Addicts & keeping Real/Beneficial-Knowledge Out-Of-Reach).

4. Bedazzle & seduce the Womenfolk of these Communities into their Beds.

5. Attain & maintain the Support of the Muslim-Criminals, Muslim Street-Teams, Muslim Gang-Members, etc. (using one’s Muslim-Muscle to pressure, intimidate, neutralize, eliminate, etc. Religio-Secterian Competition/Opposition).

The Parallels between the “Battle of Red-Cliff” & “The Haqqover”

As is wellknown: the “Battle of Red-Cliff” is the Most-Documented/Lauded Military-Engagement via Chinese-History…it was Actium before the “Battle-Of-Actium”, Midway before the “Battle of Midway”, Normandy before the “Invasion of Normandy”, etc. The “Battle of Red-Cliff” humbled the Kingdom of Wei, equally it was forced to respect (as well as be cautious of) the Military-Might of both Kingdoms of Shu & Wu. The Defeat of Wei via the Combined-Forces of Shu & Wu created a Balance-Of-Power during the Height of the 3-Kingdoms Period. “The Haqqover” is an Article authored via Gareth Bryant. The Maslahah/Purpose of it was to counterbalance the Religio-Theological Rifts between the Atharism & Ash`arism. It was based exclusively upon the Respectful-Rivalry between the Siblings of the Pen: Gareth “Abū-Yams” Bryant & Tālib “Ash`arī-Papi” Nathaniel. The Writings of Gareth Bryant literally attacked & triggered the Theological-Egos of the Ash`arīs, the Atharīs, the Salafīs.

Gareth Bryant vs. the 3-`Aqīdahs

1. Team-Ash`arī has constantly/consistently (historically I might add) attempted to monopolize Islāmic-Theology, to the Extent that Ash`arīs are severely notorious for imposing Unjust-Takfīr/Blasphemy against Non-Ash`arīs. But, Gareth Bryant shut dem Niggas down & paralyzed Team-Ash`arī throughout the Entirety of Ramadhān-1445, A.H. In fact, the Only-Defender of Team-Ash`arī was Tālib Nathaniel…they authored the Only-Response to “The Haqqover”. From Ramadhān-1445, A.H. Team-Ash`arī has had to do Mass-Scrambling, as per attempting to strategize how to deal with Gareth Bryant.

2. Team-Atharī was originally envious of Gareth Bryant & posed 0-Respect for their Religio-Academia. So much so, that there’s Members of Team-Atharī whom literally lied to my Sibling of the Pen (Tālib Nathaniel) & claimed that Lavotte Saunders (the Atharī-Camp Champ) “rejected” my Research/Writings. Lavotte Saunders & Gareth Bryant have had Personal-Convos & communicate regularly (these Atharī-Slanderers obviously never knew this)…Lavotte Saunders told me Word4Word how much they respect/appreciate my Research/Writings. Now, thereafter, seeing the “Writings On The Wall” that Gareth Bryant successfully compromised/neutralized Team-Ash`arī: it’s been confirmed that Team-Atharī has now switched Gears & wants Gareth Bryant to embrace Team-Atharī (to have a Seat at their Table & join the Ranks of the Atharī-Family). I guess they want to make me an “Offer I can’t refuse.”. However, I am the Yamsfather & I’m my own Familia/Family, much like how Abraham/Ibrāhīm: Khalīlullah/the Friend-Of-Allah being a 1-Man Ummah/Nation (Peace be upon them).

3. Team-Salafī despises me, for Lots of Reasons. It’s specifically because I’m Pro-Khurūj/Takhrīj (Rebellion against Corrupt Muslim-Leaders/Governments), whereas Dick-Riding Muslim-Leaders/Governments is literally Part of Salafism. I’ve personally been “refuted” for my Anti-Salafism Campaigns&Writings (Multiple-Times via Various Salafī-Characters). However, since my Writings have compromised/neutralized Team-Ash`arī (the Theological-Beef between Ash`arīs & Salafīs being that of Lion vs. Hyena): the Salafīs literally don’t know whether to salute me or “refute” me. Team-Salafī is adopting the Principle-Posture via the Ole-Saying: “The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend.”.

The Parallels between the Rise of the Jin-Dynasty & Gareth Bryant

The Emergence of the Jin-Dynasty replaced the Ole-Guard of the Puppet-Rulers of the Han-Dynasty (controlled via the Kingdom of Wei). The Jin-Dynasty was capable/able to capitalize completely due to the Geo-Political Errors of: Kingdom-Wei, Kingdom-Shu, Kingdom-Wu. So, much like how eventually the Jin-Dynasty ended-up absorbing the Kingdoms of Wei, Shu, Wu…Gareth Bryant is the Jin-Dynasty. Gareth Bryant caused Team-Ash`arī, Team-Atharī, Team-Salafī to sit the Fuck down, lean the Fuck back, shut the Fuck up. None of the 3-`Aqīdahs could actually intelligently/academically “refute” anything which I’ve written. But, they have resorted to Underhanded-Means. I’ve already aforementioned what Team-Atharī did. Team-Ash`arī has resorted to Personal-Attacks via Character-Assassination Attempts. Team-Salafī has accused me of not conforming to the Positions of their Religio-Scholars. All-3 `Aqīdah-Kingdoms have attempted to “dismiss” the Religio-Academia/Scholarship of Gareth Bryant. At the Same-Time, All-3 know that I’ve sparked a Religio-Academic Movement which can’t be stopped via either three of these `Aqīdah-Kingdoms. As I always tell People: Every Avalanche starts with 1-Snowflake. I’m the Snowflake which caused a Religio-Academic Avalanche.

The Nifāq/Hypocrisy of Amīn Muhammad

The Importance of Islāmic-Principle

In spite of the Fact that Allah empowered me to learn a lot, from Credible Islāmic-Teachers: prior to “The Haqqover” & even thereafter…Team-Atharī, Team-Ash`arī, Team-Salafī, etc. have constantly/consistently attempted to dismiss, mock, etc. my Religio-Academia/Scholarship. However, at the Same-Time, they all know that they can’t compete with me & the Fact that I silenced All-3 `Aqīdah-Kingdoms during Ramadhān-1445, A.H. details just how serious my Religio-Academia/Scholarship actually is. And, any/all the Attempts made via the 3 `Aqīdah-Kingdoms to discredit Gareth Bryant: it undoubtedly proves they truly don’t even respect al-`Ilm/Knowledge, most definitely not al-`Ilmiyyah/Islāmic-Knowledge, the Way which they pontificate/claim to respect it.

Allah states:

“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.”…”Convey of/from me, even if only 1-Āyah/Verse.”

(al-Bukhārī)

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-Muslim).”

(Abū-Dāwūd)

This is precisely how/why there’s the Islāmic-Principle:

“Truth is Truth, regardless of whom/where it comes from.”

The Reasons & Pseudo-Justifications how/why 3-`Adīdahs attempted to “dismiss” me

1. I’m Non-Hizbī/Sectarian.

2. I’m not an Imma`ah/Dick-Rider.

3. I’m Anti-Hizbiyyah/Sectarianism.

4. I didn’t get my Islāmic-Education/Credentials via Islāmic-Institutions/Entities which they co-sign and/or from Islāmic-Teachers they Dick-Ride.

5. I don’t Dick-Ride the Islāmic-Institutions/Entities and/or the Islāmic-Teachers/Academics the 3-`Aqīdahs rep & claim al-Walā’/Loyalty to.

6. I don’t care about being “refuted” by anyone, because my Refutation-Hands work too.

7. They’ve Envious against me, because Allah has granted me what they don’t have: “The Courage to be Disliked”.

Takeaways&Lessons via the “Romance of the 3-`Aqīdahs

Obviously, the “Romance of the 3-`Aqīdahs” has proven unequivocally that I’ve been dealing with a Bunch of Unprincipled-Mothafuckas. They’ve proven their Ghall/`Udwān (Subjectivity, Bias, Malicice, Animosity, etc.) & by default/definition it proves them all to be Unreliable-Individuals. I mean, just look at Team-Ash`arī: only 1-Ash`arī even had the Balls to Head2Head/Article4Article against Gareth Bryant…that 1-Ash`arī was my Sibling of the Pen Tālib Nathaniel. And, ironically, Tālib Nathaniel is considered the Best amongst Team-Ash`arī. So, if Gareth Bryant is so “Islāmically-Ignorant”, then how/why did Team-Ash`arī basically “beg” their Best to deal with me?!!! Then, look at Team-Salafī…these Salafīs have the Audacity/Arrogance to Bitch&Moan about anything concerning Gareth Bryant: Abū-Yams/The Yamsfather literally unintentiinally saved you Salafī-Niggas from the Ash`arī-Niggas. Let’s keep it Tall: Many Ash`arī-Niggas are Religio-Academically Superior to Lots of Salafī-Niggas. Lastly, there’s Team-Atharī: they’re Treacherous-Individuals…first they ignored the Academic/Scholastic-Legitimacy of Abī-Yams/The Yamsfather. And, then, when they realized how thorough my Research actually is: now they want Gareth Bryant to embrace/align with them. Well, it’s just as the Ole-Saying goes: “Victory has 1-Hundred Fathers & Defeat is an Orphan.”. Everyone wants to be connected/associated with “The Winner”.

The “Persons of the Qiblah” vs. The “Persons of the Sunnah”

Allah states:

The Arabs said: “We believe.”. Say: “You ain’t believe yet. But, rather say: ‘We submitted.’. And, it’s because Faith hasn’t penetrated their Hearts as yet. However, if you obey Allah & Their Messenger, then They won’t dismiss any of your Actions at all. Verily, Allah is All-Forgiving Most-Merciful.”.

(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.49, V.14)

Author’s-Note:

This-Article is a Sharh/Commentary of a Previous-Article titled “Vying for the ‘Sunnī-Monopoly’ amongst Muslims”.

Vying for the “Sunnī-Monopoly” amongst the Muslims

The Muqaddimah/Prelude to This-Sharh of my “Sunnī-Monopoly” Article

The Maslahah/Purpose of such a Sharh…it stems from a Convo I had, about the Previous-Article, with my Sibling of the Pen: Tālib Nathaniel. Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel had spoken at length, regarding the Feedback which Tālib disagreed with Gareth about, concerning a Specific-Juncture with the Article itself. I’ll detail precisely what that is. Tālib Nathaniel expressed/verbalized to Gareth Bryant, that they strongly disagreed with the Following as per Point Number-4 below.

They mentioned that they greatly opposed what I stated below. I received/accepted the Disagreement which was expressed/verbalized. I honestly was shocked, at how vehemently opposed Tālib was against what I mentioned below. But, if Allah wills, we’re going to get into it. Yet, at the Same-Time, I most defenitely (as per usual) defended the Reasons how/why I stated what I mentioned. I’m going to detail the Extent of the Convo. The Convo itself became very interesting honestly.

Tālib Nathaniel began stating that even a Person of Negative-Character/Behavior can still be classified as a “Person of the Sunnah”. I strongly contested that Type/Kind of Madhab/Posture. Gareth Bryant’s Evidence is explained via the Statements of Muhammad (Peace be upon them):

a. “The Strong-Believer is superior & more beloved to Allah, as opposed to the Weak-Believer. But, there’s still Positivity within them both.”

b. “The Muslim/Islāmic-Ascriber are those whom protect Fellow-Muslims from the Negativity of their Tongue/Speech & their Hand/Actions. And the Mu’min/Islāmic-Believer secures the Lives&Possessions of People (regardless of whether they’re Muslims of Non-Muslims).”

(an-Nawawī)

I’m going to elaborate on what I stated regarding the Difference between Muslim & Mutā`. That’s going to be the Asl/Foundation of my Entire-Argument. It’s crucial for/to the Reader, that it’s distinctively understood the Pount that I’m making.

“Persons of the Qiblah”

A “Person of the Qiblah [Prayer-Direction towards al-Ka`bah via Makkah])” is simply a Religio-Euphemism for anyone who’s Theologically-Muslim: anyone whom maintains the Belief in All-6 Arkān/Pillars of al-Īmān/al-`Aqīdah (Faith/Islāmic-Theology). Or, also, as Muslim-American Slang goes: “Under-Shahādah”…meaning the Shahādah being the Testimony of Islāmic-Faith.

“Persons of the Sunnah”

A “Person of the Sunnah/Prophetic-Tradition” is any Muslim whose Character/Behavior matches that of the Lifestyle of Muhammad. And, also it being comprehended the Way as-Salaf comprehended the Lifestyle of Muhammad. The Salaf, of course, being: as-Sahābah/the Companions & Geberations-1&2 of at-Tābi`īn/the Followers.

Now, obviously, not every Muslim is Number-2. However, that’s way different than someone not being Number-1. (Unfortunately) Tālib Nathaniel must’ve thought/felt that Gareth Bryant was (alluding to the Zhann/Assumption) saying if someone isn’t Number-2, then they’re automatically not Number-1. And, that was sonething I picked-up on very swiftly. And, equally, I made it very clear to Tālib Nathaniel that Gareth Bryant isn’t implying that…not at all!!!

As per “Strong-Believer vs. Weak-Believer”

1. Strong-Believer = Person of the Sunnah

2. Weak-Beliver = Person of the Qiblah

Both 1&2 are still Muslims.

As per “Muslim vs. Mu’min”

1. Mu’min = Person of the Sunnah

2. Muslim = Person of the Qiblah

Both 1&2 are still Muslims.

There’s also a Multitude of Amthāl/Examples which I detailed to Tālib which further strengthened Gareth Bryant’s Argument…these’re the following based upon Noble-Qur’ān (Chpt.23, V.1-5):

1. Those diligent via as-Salāh/Mechanical-Prayer are Persons of the Sunnah. Those lazy via as-Salāh are still Persons of the Qiblah.

2. Those cautious against Vain/Idle-Talk, Gossip (Backbiting/Slander), etc. are Persons of the Sunnah. Those indulging in Vain/Idle-Talk, Gossip, etc. are still Persons of the Qiblah.

3. Those cautious to ensure their Acts-Of-`Ibādah/Worship are directly predicated upon at-Tanzīl/Revelation are Persons of the Sunnah. Those whom’re careless concerning the Revelatory-Validity of their Acts-Of-`Ibādah are still Persons of the Qiblah.

4. Those whom protect themselves from az-Zinā/THOTery are Persons of the Sunnah. Those whom live their Best-Lies via az-Zinā are still Persons of the Qiblah.

Gareth Bryant also reminded Tālib Nathaniel of the Deathbed-Tawbah/Repentance of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī, regarding them retracting their Pontification/Promotion of Unjust-Takfīr/Takfīr-Culture against Muslim Non-Ash`arīs.

Now, what’s ironically important to highlight…Abul-Hasan al-Ash`arī (even via their Deathbed) still never considered their Theological-Opps as being “Persons of the Sunnah”. Yet, at the Same-Time, they recognized/accepted the Fact that they were Dead-Ass Wrong for accusing them of not being “Persons of the Qiblah”.

The Haqqover/Super-Hizbī: Debunking the Pseudo-Justifications for Takfīr-Culture

For the Record:

Tālib Nathaniel admitted, that Gareth Bryant presented Strong-Arguments, as per what’s been aforementioned via This-Article. And, equally, after elaborating my Argument to them: Tālib Nathaniel very much agreed with the Argument which Gareth Bryant present regarding this. I await Tālib Nathaniel’s Response-Article to This-Article, as they mentioned they’d author a Response. Tālib Nathaniel informed Gareth Bryant their Response-Article will be based upon their Research of the Works of at-Tahāwī (regarding whom does vs. whom doesn’t qualify being classified as “Persons of the Sunnah”).

Therefore, I conclude with this:

Fake-Wokeness via Pseudo-Toughness

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)

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated:

“Always speak Truth, even if it’s bitter (even if it rubs People the Wrong-Way).”
(ibn-Hibbān&al-Bayhaqī)

Ironically though, this Lil-Nigga prolly ain’t never kill a Goat or Sheep for `Īd-il-Adhā, let alone Another-Human. It truly sickens me, that Muslims want to be “Street-Niggas” so badly. Talkin all dat “Tough-Shit” isn’t a “Flex”, not at all. And, sadly, this is the Result of:

1. Muslim-Criminal Culture

The Reality of Muslim-Criminality

2. Negative-Relationships with Fathers

The Toxic-Results of Fatherlessness

3. Fake-Woke Political-Activism

Fake-Wokeness via Suicide-Culture

4. Groupie-Culture

al-Imma`tiyyah/Groupie-Culture

5. Pop-Culture/Music Industry via “Drill-Rap”

What it means to be “Unholy”

Most of these Muslim-Dudes have never actually been in any Real-Life Situations…(Allah knows best) they’ve probably had less than 10-Fights via their Entire-Lives. But, now all of a sudden, because of a Hot-Button Religio-Political Issue y’all Young-Niggas wanba be Billy-Badasses?!!! Go back in y’all Mothafuckin-Cribs & shut da Fuck up. Y’all talkin all of this Tough-Shit: If the Da`wah/Invitation for al-Qitāl/Combat were issued/conscripted rite now to venture into Palestine or anwhere else Muslims are being severely oppressed, Most Muslim-Men wouldn’t even be able to comply because:

1. Their Īmān/Islāmic-Faith isn’t even at the Levels it should be.

2. They Pussy & would probably run from the Battlefields Under-Pressure.

3. Don’t know anything about Combat-Training.

4. Don’t know how to use any Sort of Weaponry correctly.

5. Don’t know any Survival-Skills, to survive via any Warzone-Terrain.

They talkin all this “IDFK” Sucka-Shit, yet ironically: they’ve never killed any IDF-Personnel. They’ve never killed any Islāmophobe who’s ever attacked any Muslim, Masjid/Mosque, Islāmic-Center, etc. They’ve never Popped-On any Corrupt-Cops, Drug-Dealers, Human-Traffickers, Sexual-Predators/Abusers, Gang-Members, etc. In fact, the Only-Thing these Wannabe “Muslim Tough-Guys” do is oppress Fellow-Muslims. This is literally all for Show, to attempt compensating for their own Weaknesses & Incapabilities.

The Niggadelphia-Effect

Here’s Another-Irony…these Clown-Ass Individuals ain’t never rep “CMLK” (Corrupt Muslim Leaders Killer), or “ALK” (Arab Leaders Killer). I mean…afterall…as we all know/should know: Muslim-Arab Leaders were literally amongst the Human/Historical-Reasons how/why the Palestinian-Conflict even exists in the 1st-Place. Yeah…they won’t dare do that though. They won’t dare admit that the Treacherous-Actions of Muslim-Arabs, colluding with Non-Muslim Powers against al-Khilāfah/Islāmic-Governance (via the Ottoman-Empire), during World-War I caused all of what the World has witnessed since 1948, C.E. This is a Direct-Manifestion & Result/Consequence of Muslim-Arab Guilt.

Muslim-Politics & Muslims whom manipulate it for their own Ambitions

As Muslims, we’ve truly got to do better than this Goofy-Shit.

Gareth Bryant

Revive Respectful-Rivalry

The Following-Citation/Quote below-It’s literally is reminiscent of the Religio-Academic Rivalry between myself & one of Gareth Bryant’s Favorite-Colleagues: Tālib Nathaniel. Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel have immersed ourselves in a Friendly-Feud, which sparked Significant-Attention/Controversy via our Individual/Mutual-Circles. It’s raised Eyebrows as well as kept Certain-Person “Walking-On-Eggshells” Sort-Of-Speak. Our Rivalry has caused much Talk around our Native-Cities as well as Various-States, Various-Countries, etc. And, the Cited/Quoted-Story, albeit Centuries ago: it’s ironically so poignant & relevant to the Rivalry of Gareth Bryant vs. Tālib Nathaniel.

Fraternity in spite of Rivalry

The Citation/Quote plainly details that Others tried to dismantle the Respect/Love which existed between the 2-Subjects of the Citation/Quote. Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel have literally faced the Same-Types/Kinds of Tactics used to attempt destroying our Bond as: Brothers, Friends, Colleagues, etc. Tālib & Gareth have discussed at length, about how far Certain-Persons would be willing to go (to attempt making us Adversaries of one another). Tālib literally disclosed to me, that one Particular-Person: Fahīm Lea (I’ve already publicly discussed my Deep-Disdain for Fahīm Lea)…they refused to return the Taslīm (the Utterance of “as-Salām/Greeting-Of-Peace”) ever since Tālib had released their Response to an Article I authored. I literally told Tālib not to be “surprised”, that Fahīm Lea hadn’t returned the Taslīm, after they had initiated to Fahīm Lea. Fahīm Lea particularly is Highly-Triggered/Angered, that Tālib Nathaniel has a Positive-Relationship with Gareth Bryant…I’ve explained how/why via Another-Article I’ve previously authored.

They hate You cause they couldn’t break You

The Scenario between Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel literally reminds me of the 1st-Fitnah/Civil-War amongst the Muslims:`Alī ibn-`Imrān vs. Mu`āwiyah (May Allah be pleased with them both), when the Roman-Emperor living during This-Time attempted to “convince” Mu`āwiyah to align themselves with Rome against `Alī…this was the Dialogue between the Roman-Emperor & Mu`āwiyah:

“The Byzantine Emperor had great hopes of attacking and defeating Mu’aawiyah after the latter had instilled fear in him and humiliated him and vanquished his troops. When the Byzantine Emperor saw that Mu’aawiyah was preoccupied with fighting ‘Ali, he approached some cities (on the border) with a huge army, filled with hope of victory. So Mu’aawiyah wrote to him saying, ‘By Allah, if you do not desist and go back to your land, O cursed one, I shall reconcile with my cousin and we will unite against you, and I shall certainly expel you from all of your land! I shall keep pursuing you, and the earth, vast as it is, will be straitened for you.’ At that, the Byzantine Emperor was scared off and abandoned his plans; he sent word seeking a peace treaty.”

(at-Tabarī, as-Suyūtī, ibn-Kathīr)

al-Husayn & the Massacre of Karbalā’:

The Gareth Bryant vs. Tālib Nathaniel Rivalry is predicated upon the two of them respectfuly, brotherly, academically: debating, disagreeing, etc. regarding Theological-Postures, Theological-Positions, Theological-Arguments, etc. which’ve been contested for Centuries via Islāmic-Academics whom precede the both of us as per Islāmic-Knowledge/Understanding. There’ve been Supporters via Various Religio-Sectarian Camps which’ve either wanted Tālib Nathaniel to be “defeated” via Gareth Bryant, or Gareth Bryant to be “defeated” via Tālib Nathaniel. There’s even been those who’ve publicly & privately attempted to Cheerlead, in order to inspire Rifts between Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel. However, via the Justice/Mercy-Of-Allah:

a. Neither Gareth Bryant nor Tālib Nathaniel had allowed ourselves to succumb to the Waswās/Deception of ash-Shaytān/Satan via the Biases-Of-Man for and against each other individually.

b. There’ve been Other Religio-Academics who’ve refused to attempt interering in the Religio-Academic Rivalry between Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel…themselves directly & indirectly expressing/verbalizing Gratitude that both Gareth & Tālib displayed Immense-Respect towards one another, presented Authentic/Objective-Facts regarding their Theological-Arguments, manifested Meritable-Maturity regarding the Subject-Matter, etc.

c. There’ve been Religio-Community Elders who’ve stepped-up to the Plate, to reinfirce the Necessity to maintain Justice as per evaluating the Theological-Arguments which’ve been presented/defended via the Works/Writings of Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel.

Gareth Bryant’s Article:

at-Tafwīdh/Neutrality vs. at-Ta’wīl/Interpretation concerning the Sifāt/Qualities-Of-Allah

Tālib Nathaniel’s Article:

Al-qadhiyatu min ajalil-Haqeeqa tafwid al-amr li-llah

Even amongst the Staunchest-Critics of both Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel: they respected the Efforts given by us both. We’ve both received Significant-Praise, as per our Efforts to conduct ourselves as Muslim-1st, regardless of what Gareth & Tālib have vehemently disagreed upon as per the Subject-Matter behind their Religio-Academic Rivalry. In spite of Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel being on Different-Sides of the `Aqīdah/Theology-Coin (Gareth being Pro-Atharī & Tālib being Ash`arī)…they each both do agree with one another that `Aqidah has been dangerously hijacked via Ahzāb/Religio-Gangs to incite/continue the Ugly-Mīrāth/Legacy of Muslim-On-Muslim Oppression via “`Aqīdah-Wars”. And, these “`Aqīdah-Wars” have been amongst the Usūl/Origins of Muslim-On-Muslim Violence throughout the Muslim-World historically & particularly via the United States amongst Muslim-Americans.

The Niggadelphia-Effect

What Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel have done, via our Brotherly-Bond: we’ve literally shown Other-Muslims the Power of Fraternity in spite of Rivalry. We’ve jointly proven that we can disagree & argue with/against Fellow-Muslims respectfuly, brothetly, friendly, maturely, academically, etc. without ever having to resort to any Sifah/Manifestation of al-Qattāl/Violence against any Fellow-Muslim. And, any/all of our Critics whom unrespect the Fact that Gareth & Tālib have never chosen to be Religio-Opps: that angers them greatly…proving undoubtedly that Persons like them are Part of the Mushkilah/Problem. Like…how dare any Muslim be triggered/angered, that Fellow-Muslims don’t want to be Enemies of one another?!!! Make that Goofy-Shit make Sense.

Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel have always made it Crystal-Clear: we attempt to always operate via being Muslim-1st. We refuse to view each other as “Enemies” of one another. We equally refuse to allow anyone to disrupt our Progress towards Facilitating al-Ijtimā`/Unity between the Muslims via Religio-Academia/Scholarship.We ask Allah, to always protect us & always aid us against any/all whom want us to be Adversaries against each other.

The Niggadelphia-Effect

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated:

“Always speak Truth, even if it’s bitter (even if it rubs People the Wrong-Way).”

(ibn-Hibbān&al-Bayhaqī)

Author’s-Note:

This-Article is mainly socio-culturally inspired by “The Miseducation Of The Negro” (Carter G. Woodson) & “The Philadelphia Negro” (W.E.B. DuBois).

The Relevance/Importance of Sociology

Mu`ādh ibn-Jabal (May Allah be pleased with them) stated:

“Always accept Truth, even if it comes via a Kāfir (Disbeliever/Non-Muslim) or a Fāsiq (Sinful-Muslim).”

(Abū-Dāwud)

This is how/why there’s an Islāmic-Principle that exists which states:

“Truth is Truth, regardless of whom/where it comes from.”

The Sabab/Reason how/why I’m so fond of the Socio-Secular Works like “Miseducation Of The Negro” & “The Philadelphia Negro” is because the Maslahah/Purpose of those 2-Works is to learn/understand Niggas. Muslim & Non-Muslim Afro/Latino-Peoples (Yeah…Spics is Niggas en Espanol) have a History via the Western-Hemisphere unlike any Human-Demographic. Their jointly-connected/intersected American-Experience is 💯%-Inseparable. Now, specifying Muslim Afro-Latino-Americans…instead of utlizing al-Islām as the Ultimate-Tool to correct the Human-Hāl/Condition: Muslim Afro/Latinos only use al-Islām as an `Udhr/Excuse to switch Slave-Masters. Muslim Afro/Latino-Peoples are largely/mainly (from a Religio-Social Paradigm) just NWA (Niggers with `Aqīdah/Islāmic-Theology). In spite of “The Miseducation Of The Negro” & “The Philadelphia Negro” being penned/authored during the 1st-1/2 of the 20th-Century, C.E.-Literally everything which Carter G. Woodson & W.E.B. DuBois put on Paper is not only truthful/honest…it still occurs today after all these Years.

My Heart breaks because of the Idiocy of the Muslim Afro-American

Exploring Niggadelphia

Shawwāl 1st, 1445, A.H./April 10th, 2024, C.E.

Philadelphia (AKA Baghdād, Pennsylvania): the so-called “City of Brotherly-Love”…as per Philly’s Consistent-History of Violence: one must wonder what “Love” could anyone possibly be talking about. Philly has always been a Town Deep-Tissue Scarred via Unjust/Senseless-Violence & Debaucherous-Criminality. From the Euro-Mobs (Irish, Italian, Sicillian, Polish, etc.), to the Afro-American Mobs (The NOI, Philly Black Mafia, Junior Black Mafia, Black Gorilla Family, etc.), to Muslims using Ahzāb/Religio-Sects (Salafīs, Atharīs, Ash`arīs, Sūfīs, Shī`īs, Hanbalīs, Mālikīs, Shāfi`īs, etc.), to Muslims even using Masājid/Mosques as their Religio-Sectarian Enclaves/Bases, etc. This Trend of Destruction seems to take 0-Prisoners, when it comes to whom’re oppressed by these Types/Kinds of Goofy-Shit.

The Shameless-Trend amongst Muslims known as “Janāzah-Boycotting”

Albeit I’ve never lived in Philadelphia (I’ve only been a Philly-Visitor)…I’ve most definitely had to directly confront/address the Oppressive-Onslaught of Muslim-Criminal Culture via Philly. For example, when I was Salafī (from 1421-1428, A.H./2000-2007, C.E.): that 7-Year Duration was literally the closest I ever got to being a Gang-Member. And, via the United States: Salafīs nationwide have always gotten an Anbundance of their Hizbī/Sectarian-Cues from Philadelphia…this 💯%-Fact/0%-Fiction.

The Hujjah/Indictment against the Salafī-Mafia

Ghībah/Gossip-Gangs & Hizbī/Sectarian-Wars

The Victims/Casualties of the “Muslim-Gangster”

The Reality of Muslim-Criminality

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

Shawwāl 1st, 1445, C.E./April 10th, 2024, C.E.

Examining al-Kharajiyyah/Religio-Extremism via Mafia/Gang-Culture amongst Muslims historically & contemporaneously

What attracts People to Muslim-Gangster Culture?!!!

1. Lack of Islāmic-Guidance

2. Lack of Fatherhood/Male-Parenthood

3. Lack of Self-Esteem

4. Lack of Individuality

al-Imma`tiyyah/Groupie-Culture

“Jail/Prison-Love” is an Illusion

The Longevity of this Type/Kind of Sucka-Shit

For Years…Philly as been the Epicenter for Seismic/Earthshattering Hizbī-Wars. And, very much like Real-Zalzāl/Earthquakes: Other-Regions of Muslim-America have been severely affected via the Hizbī/Sectarian-Conflicts which’ve catapulted/exported the “Muslim-Gangster” Mythos from Philadelphia to: NYC, Atlantic City, Newark, Seattle, Bmore, D.C., Boston, Chicago, LA, Detroit, ATL, Cleveland, etc. basically anywhere there’s Lots of Muslim-Niggas. And, albeit Salafism has been blamed/faulted largely & almost exclusively for this: No…this absolutely cannot & must not be attributed to the Salafīs only. Every Hizb/Religio-Sect which Muslim Afro/Latino-Americans Dick-Ride have Equal-Share (as per causing Muslim-On-Muslim Violence, Muslim-Street/Gang Culture, etc.).

Sectarian Patriot-Games amongst Muslims of the Western-World

How/why is this even a Reality?!!!

Allah states:

“And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.”

(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8)

Realistically, if I don’t/refuse to regard any Fellow-Muslim as my Religio-Spiritual Equal: it’s easy to subject them to Theft, Rape, Murder, etc. witgout having any Type/Kind of an-Nadam (Remorse/Regret). Takfīr/Blasphemy-Culture & Tahzīb/Heresy-Culture amongst Muslims causes this directly as well as particularly (albeit to be just/fair not exclusively). Takfīr/Tahzīb-Culture are Terriying-Realities. This is predicated via Refutation-Culture amongst Muslims. This “You’re off da Minhāj”…”You don’t have Correct-`Aqīdah”, etc.: these Damning/Damaging-Accusations against Fellow-Muslims are literally like issuing Religio-Contracts out on Others. I’ve literally been “refuted” via Various-Ahzāb. These-Types/Kinds of “Refutations” against Fellow-Muslims have literally caused Countless-Muslims to:

a. Lose Life&Limb

b. Lose Spouses, Children, Parents, Siblings, Community, etc.

c. Lose Reputation and/or Communal-Standing

d. Lose Friendships, Incomes, Social-Advancements, etc.

Refutation&Boycotting Culture amongst Muslims

The Evil&Destructive-Nature of Takfīr-Culture

How can we combat this…is there even Hope?!!!

Good-Question…

…Answer:

I don’t have the “Answers”. But, I’m not willing to just sit on the Sidelines & be “OK” with People committing themselves to at-Tahlukah/Self-Destruction either. It’s just as 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)

We must stop giving into this ridiculous Covering-Up for those whom we know commit Crimes in the Name of the Muslims. The Muslim is never supposed to be “OK” with Fellow-Muslims being immersed in al-Jarīmah/Criminality. The Muslim is never supposed to harbor the Mujrim/Criminal (regardless of whether they’re Muslim, or Relative, or Partner-In-Crime, etc. Allah literally address this: to stand for Justice/against Oppression…even if it’s to punish ourselves, our Relatives, Friends, the Affluent, the Impoverished, the Weak, the Powerful, etc.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.4, V.135)

We must, as Muslims, cease co-signing the “Muslim-Gangster” Mythos, because, it’s al-Jahālah/Sucka-Shit. And, just like the Ole-Saying goes: “If you co-sign Sucka-Shit you’re a Sucka too.”.

Slavery-Misconceptions manipulated to inflate Fake-Wokeness amongst Muslims

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated:

“Always speak Truth, even if it’s bitter (even if it rubs People the Wrong-Way).”.

(ibn-Hibbān&al-Bayhaqī)

IG: @sheisimanib

I saw a Video detailing the Issue of Muslims Human-Trafficked from African-Kingdoms/Colonies to the Western-Hemisphere via the Trans-Atlantic Slave-Trade, as well as detailing how Muslim-Africans were still capable/able to observe Ramadhān while Muslim-Slaves. The Post-Author (Imani Bashir IG: sheisimanib) concluded Several-Things which’re Historically-Untruthful/Dishonest. I’ve commented via the Post-Thread of their IG-Video…confirming that what I’m detailing via This-Article is Public-Info. albeit I’ve 0-Idea whether or not the Post-Author will respond, block me, etc.

At This-Time I’m going to higlight Several-Points that Imani Bashir brought-up

Imani Bashir emphasized that Ramadhān can’t be more than 30-Days:

Imani Bashir also mentioned that Muslims look to sight a “Crescent-Moon” to begin & end Ramadhān-Fasting. The “Crescent-Moon” isn’t what’s looked for, to begin/end Months via the Islāmic-Calendar. The Solar-Reflection of the Sun upon the Moon which is looked for is significantly smaller in appearance as opposed to the “Crescent”. What’s looked for is called the “Hilāl”.

Imani Bashir mentioned that amongst the Muslim-Slave Populations via the Western-Hemisphere were Academics&Intellectuals:

Imani Bashir mentioned Muslims whom were enslaved & brought to the Western-Hemisphere:

The Reason how/why it’s so important, to debunk Untruth/Dishonesty (particularly relevant to the Subject-Matter detailed via This-Article)

1. The (“Muslim-Slave”, “African-Slave”, etc.) Slavery-Narrative comes from somwhere & from someone.

The Bilāl Movie: Why it still reinforces the Slave-Narrative of Black-People.

2. The Denial/Deflection that Muslim&Non-Muslim Afro-Peoples play their Role, via the Establishment/Perpetuation of Slavery.

al-`Ubūdah/Slavery: An Islāmophobe’s Favorite-Subject

3. Social-Inheritance via American-Experience, for Afro-Americans is constantly/consistently dismissed.

as-Suwād fī Amrīkā/Blackness in America

Sadly, for Countless Muslim Afro/Latino-Americans: we exclusively view the Histories of their Peoples via the Lens of a Slavery-Narrative. Literally, to so/too many of them: there’s nothing before Slavery. And, because of this, Slavery via the Trans-Atlantic Slave-Trade breeds Lots of Shame…Self-Hate…etc. So, naturally/expectedly: it makes Sense how/why so many Slavery-Myths surrounding the Reality of Muslim-Presence via the Western-Hemisphere and/or the Embelishment of it.

The Reason for the Embelishement: Many/Most Muslim&Non-Muslim Afro-Americans like to buy into the Mythos/Pseudo-Narrative, that the Best&Brightest were Human-Trafficked from African-Kingdoms/Colonies to the Western-Hemisphere via the Trans-Atlantic Slave-Trade. This is simply 💯% Historical-Untruth/Dishonesty. Everyone wasn’t a “Genius”, “King/Queen”, “Prince/Princess”, “Warrior”, “Polymath”, etc. There were Combos of all the aforementioned as well as none of the aforementioned amongst Enslaved Afro-Peoples. However, because Afro-Peoples have been dehumanized from the Boat to the Block via the Entirety of the Afro-American-Experience: it actually makes Sense how/why so many Muslim&Non-Muslim Afro-Americans resort to an Historical-Narrative greatly/grossly exaggerated.

It benefits no one though, to continuously uphold such Historical-Exaggerations. It sounds “Good”, seems “Nice”, it makes for Awesome-Folklore, etc. But, it’s so much more principled&integral to simply stick to Historical-Facts/Realities.

The Portraits of my Life&Style

From 1425, A.H./2014, C.E. till the Present, Gareth Bryant has tried their Hand at Modeling. It’s been a very Interesting-Journey. Personally, it’s been awesome exploring a Realm so/too many Muslim-Men think/feel Self-Conscious about. I myself: I’ve literally been personally attacked via Fellow-Muslims, as per the Modeling I’ve done, for no other Reason than Gross-Fallacies about Male-Modeling. There’s actually Deliberate-Reasons how/why I’ve explored Fashion/Modeling.

Why my Love for Fashion matters

As I reminisce over my Origins, from a Muslim-Model to evolving into a Muslim-Chaplain: I’ve had Varied-Stages of my Fashion-Sense…it’s really Cool for me to observe myself “Outside-The-Box” Sort-Of-Speak. The Evolution of my Fashion-Style via Pictures tells a Story…my Story…from my own POV & exclusively upon my own Terms.

These-Pics reflect not only where I’ve been via the Fashion-World, but equally where I’ve been within the U.S. & elsewhere around the World via my Various-Travels from Here2There & everywhere else. It’s been fun as well as invigorating…most importantly self-educational. I’ve learned more about myself within the Past-Decade than I’d learned being alive for 4-Decades this far. This-Article reflects my Spiritual&Psycho-Social Rollercoadter Life…visible via the Emotions seen through my Pictures.

So, what awaits Gareth Bryant further in Life? I don’t know. But, as long as Allah grants me Life, I’ll continue to tell my Story as I see fit…with my Pics.

The Haqqover/Super-Hizbī: Debunking the Pseudo-Justifications for Takfīr-Culture

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Always speak Truth, even if it’s bitter (even if it rubs People the Wrong-Way).”.
(ibn-Hibbān, al-Bayhaqī)

When you try to be Nice People think you’re “Soft”

Yep…I’m choosing Violence On-Purpose. Since the Release of my “Tafwīdh vs. Ta’wīl” Article, detailing the Differences between Theological-Concepts interpreted via al-Athariyyah/Atharism & al-Ash`ariyyah/Ash`arism…there’s been Confirmed-Accusations via Certain Ash`arī-Pretenders who still think/feel that trying to play with me is a “Flex”. What I mean by that is this-These Ash`arī-Pretenders continue to slander me, via accusing me of being “Salafī”, exclusively to attempt dismissing my Religio-Scholarship & to equate me with those whom they don’t even consider Muslims anyway.

at-Tafwīdh/Neutrality vs. at-Ta’wīl/Interpretation concerning the Sifāt/Qualities-Of-Allah

How/why does being labeled as “Salafī” bother me so?!!!

1. Accusing any Muslim of being “Hizbī/Sectarian” is al-Buhtān/al-Humazah (Slander/Defamation), by default/definition…that’s a Kibār (Major-Sin/Infamnia).

2. It takes one to know one…the Same-Mothafuckas accusing me of being a “Hizbī” are in fact Hizbīs themselves.

3. This Specific-Branch of Ash`arī-Pretenders are heavy on Takfīr-Culture & don’t even consider Salafīs as Fellow-Muslims (let alone as Persons-Of-Knowledge).

How to avoid being placed in the “Wahhābī” Box

So, now, I’ve got to turn-up the Heat on them

Originally, I authored my “Tafwīdh vs. Ta’wīl” Article to highlight how Islāmic-Theology is manipulated by Ahzāb (Religio-Sectarian Groups), in order to play Religio-Monopoly for the Following-Asbāb/Reasons:

a. The Mythos/Illusion of having Religio-Piety.

b. The Mythos/Illusion of having Religio-Scholarship.

c. The Lust to acquire/maintain Spiritual/Intellectual-Control over Others.

d. The Thirst to religio/spiritually pimp their Constituents, Followers, “Students”, etc.

So, who’re the Ash`arī-Pretenders?

Amin Muhammad

Faheem Lea

They’ve both a Dark-Reputation of co-signing Unjust-Takfīr/Blasphemy against Fellow-Muslims, simply because they’re Non-Ash`arīs. Faheem Lea a Known-Fanboy/Flunky of Amin Muhammad, an Imām via the United States, who’s notorious for publicly making Unjust-Takfīr against Muslims whom’re Non-Ash`arīs. These two, amongst Others, are Ascribers of a Branch-Group of Ash`arism known as the Ahbāshīs…they’re the Madkhalīs of Ash`arism. The Madkhalīs, of course, posture themselves as the “Special/Elite-Forces” Version of Salafism.

Hypocritical-Hizbīs

What’s “Takfīr” & what does it mean?!!!

at-Takfīr literally means “Disbelief-Declaration/Accusation”. Basically, the Concept of at-Takfīr is that a Muslim is establishing, or claiming, that a Fellow-Muslim has done an Act-Of-Kufr/Disbelief or has done an Action which immediately makes them a Kāfir (Disbeliever/Non-Muslim).

How/why is “Takfīr” so serious?!!!

at-Takfīr directly indicates that once a Person leaves al-Islām via ar-Riddah/Apostasy, then none of the Religio-Rites of:

a. Sanctity of Muslim-Life

b. Sanctity of Muslim-Possession

c. Sanctity of Muslim-Dignity

are no longer Islāmically-Sacred/Protected to any other Muslim.

Allah states:

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

Muhammad stated the following regarding at-Takfīr:

“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: if they are then let it be, otherwise they themselves are a Kāfir.”
(Abū-Dāwud)

How does this translate to how Muslims view/treat each other?

These Ash`arī-Pretenders, along with Countless-Other Ahzāb whom pontificate Unjust-Takfīr/Takfīr-Culture…they manipulate at-Takfīr as a Tool of al-Qattāl/Violence. Meaning, those whom pontificate/promote Takfīr-Culture aim to establish Pseudo-Justifications to harm Fellow-Muslims without feeling bad about it. Think about it: If someone doesn’t respect a Fellow-Muslim, as their Religio/Spiritual-Equal, then it’s easy to impose Theft…Rape…Murder against them without Consequence. I’ve literally had Confidential-Convos with Certain Ash`arī-Pretenders who’ve admitted that the Takfīr-Culture they impose against Muslim Non-Ash`arīs is Mahrūm/Islāmically-Wrong & via the Same-Breath they’ve also stated that they don’t care tgat what they do is Mahrūm…as I always tell People: Apathy is worse

Examining al-Kharajiyyah/Religio-Extremism via Mafia/Gang-Culture amongst Muslims historically & contemporaneously

The Irony is that Muhammad stated that there’s only 3-Justifications to harm any Fellow-Muslim:

a. Sexual-Offences requiring Death-Penalties

b. Murders

c. Betrayal against the Muslims (which is an Act-Of-Riddah)

(an-Nawawī)

How/why have I labeled Certain-Persons “Ash`arī-Pretenders?!!!

These Same Ash`arī-Pretenders, whom lay Claim to the Religio-Legacy of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī…their Claims are Fake. I say this, authoritatively, because Unjust/Takfīr/Takfīr-Culture is something which Abul-Hasan al-Ash`arī Deathbed-Tawbah/Repentance for. Albeit contrary to Salafī-Propaganda: Abul-Hasan al-Ash`arī never made “Tawbah” for any of their Religio-Theological Interpretations. Rather, they definitely made Tawbah for pontificating/promoting Takfīr-Culture.

What/where is my Proof Abul-Hasan al-Ash`arī made Deathbed-Tawbah?!!!

Abul-Hasan al-Ash`arī stated on their Deathbed via Baghdād:

“Take witness, that verily I no longer make Takfīr/Blasphemy against any amongst the People-Of-Qiblah/Direction. All of them worship the Same-God, but they only differ regarding Theological-Interpretations.”

(adh-Dhahabī&al-Bayhaqī)

Now, being that Abul-Hasan is recorded yo have made This-Statement that this would solve the Problem. But, Oh…No: not according to these Ahbāshī-Niggas. In fact, ironically, one of the Persons whom recored the Statement of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī was an Ash`arī themselves: al-Bayhaqī. And, yet, there’s still Persons (the Ash`arī-Pretenders) who’ve still & still reject the Sihhah/Authenticity of the Recorded-Statement of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī (as per their Deathbed-Tawbah).

I’m More-Ash`arī than any of these Ash`arī-Pretenders

I say this, authoratatively, because in spite of me being a Default-Atharī theologically-I completely agree with the Deathbed-Tawbah of Abil-Hasan al-Ash`arī, in that the Muslims are never to entertain Unjust-Takfīr against each other. And, if any Muslim thinks/feel that Takfīr-Culture is OK:

a. They’re directly defying/opposing at-Tanzīl/Revelation.

b. They’re clearly being Openly-Disobedient to Allah & Their Messenger.

c. They’re a Sucka…Takfīr-Culture is Sucka-Shit & just like the Ole-Saying goes, “If you co-sign Sucka-Shit you’re a Sucka too.”.

d. They’re amongst al-Khawārij/Religio-Extremists…al-Kharajiyyah/Religio-Extremism is particularly/most popularly manifested via Unjust-Takfīr/Takfīr-Culture.

Muhammad said about al-Khawārij that they’re “Kilāb-un-Nār/Dogs of the Fire”.
