About the 'Grand' Imam of Al-Azhar Who Deifies the Companions of Muhammad:

When the Lord God Has Threatened to Wage a War against the Believing Companions of Muhammad 

Published in May 20, 2020

Translated by: Ahmed Fathy

He said: I suppose you have heard the piece of news about the head-sheikh of Al-Azhar in Egypt, the 'grand' imam Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayyib, who wages a war against those who criticize the companions of Muhammad; this means he wages a war against Quranists everywhere since all of them, including you, criticize and attack these companions especially the four pre-Umayyad 'wise' caliphs.

We said: You seem to forget the hypocrites in Yathreb were among the companions of Muhammad; in the Holy Quran, the Lord God describes them as liars and disbelievers who deserve the lower level inside Hell. Have the head-sheikh of Al-Azhar read the tens of Quranic verses about the companions of Muhammad or not?! Does he believe in the Quran or not?!

He said: I do believe that he ignores and overlooks on purpose the existence of hypocritical companions of Muhammad.

We said: He never talks about them; he should have explained himself in a better way; he disregards the fact that in the Quranic Chapter Nine, the Lord God says that the companions included frank, overt hypocrites and those adamant in hypocrisy who concealed their stance against the Quran very well. This means that the head-sheikh of Al-Azhar sanctifies and deifies all of the companions of Muhammad whose number is estimated to be about one hundred thousand persons.

He said: Pardon me, but Dr. Al-Tayyib never said in his speech that he sanctifies and deifies the companions of Muhammad.

We said: That is true; yet, to deify and sanctify them means that one would consider them infallible and would also deem criticizing them as a sin committed by blasphemers, apostates, or heretics. One of the bases of the Sunnite religion of Satan is to deify the companions of Muhammad by deeming them as infallible beings who never made mistakes, committed sins, or told lies. The same grave sin of the deification of mortals is committed by Shiites who deem the household members of Muhammad (i.e., Ali and Fatima and their two sons and the descendants of these two sons) as infallible beings and by Sufis who deem their sheikhs/saints as infallible. This means that the polytheistic Muhammadans (Sunnites, Shiites, and Sufis) lessen the deification/sanctification which should be dedicated only to the Lord God (the Only Infallible Being) by sanctifying/deifying their mortal gods/deities. Dr. Al-Tayyib is never troubled by the heinous crimes committed by the Sunnite Wahabi ISIS terrorists who say they repeat the deeds of the companions of Muhammad; the head-sheikh of Al-Azhar forbids (as a sin and a crime) the criticism of the companions of Muhammad and he never approves of anyone who criticizing ISIS terrorists. This means he adopts the same stance of the ISIS terrorists who deify the companions of Muhammad; this means he approves of ISIS! Of course, he hates it when Shiites criticize and curse the companions like Aisha (wife of Muhammad), Abou Bakr, Omar, and Othman. This pertains to the political struggle, past and present, among the terrestrial religions of the Muhammadans.     

He said: I think that it is OK if Dr. Al-Tayyib would defend the believing companions of Muhammad especially the four pre-Umayyad 'wise' caliphs.

We said: The so-called 'wise' four caliphs (i.e., the four pre-Umayyad caliphs) are historical figures; they have nothing to do with Islam as a religion with its faith tenets and sharia legislations. They are ordinary human beings like us who will be judged by the Lord God on the Last Day. We prove in our book titled "The Unspoken-of History of the Pre-Umayyad 'Righteous' Caliphs" (found in English on this link:   http://www.ahl-alquran.com/arabic/book_main.php?main_id=83) that they are among those adamant in hypocrisy mentioned in 9:101 who concealed their true stance against Islam and Muhammad; once Muhammad died, they committed the heinous crime known as the Arab conquests.

He said: But I do believe that it pertains to politeness and good manners to show respect and reverence to the believing companions of Muhammad but without deifying them.

We said: You are mistaken; nothing is mentioned in the Quran about respecting them or any other persons; the Quran advises us to respect the Lord God in awe while reflecting on His Greatness and Majesty: "What is the matter with you, that you do not respect God’s Greatness?" (71:13); "That you may believe in God and His Messenger, and support Him, and respect Him, and praise Him morning and evening." (48:9).

He said: Does the Quran mention the sincere, believing companions of Muhammad, then?

We said: Yes, but without mentioning their proper names; they are mentioned in several Quranic verses within difference contexts and situations. This is exemplified here: "To the poor immigrants who were driven out of their homes and their possessions, as they sought the favor of God and His approval, and came to the aid of God and His Messenger. These are the truthful ones." (59:8); "And when the believers saw the confederates, they said, “This is what God and His messenger have promised us; and God and His messenger have told the truth.” And it only increased them in faith and submission. Of the believers are men who are true to what they pledged to God. Some of them have fulfilled their vows; and some are still waiting, and never wavering. That God may reward the truthful ones for their truthfulness; and punish the hypocrites, if He wills, or pardon them. God is Forgiving and Merciful." (33:22-24).

He said: What about the companions of Muhammad mentioned in the Quranic Chapter Nine?

We said: Many stances were adopted by them regarding the preparation for a self-defense battle; some were frank, overt hypocrites who never participated in the self-defense military endeavors and ridiculed the poor believers who donated money to these endeavors; some of them were companions who were too reluctant to participate in the self-defense battle; some of them were believing, sincere companions who were sad for not finding horses to ride to participate in the participated in the self-defense battle; some companions were able to participate in the self-defense jihad with their money and souls for the sake of gratifying the Lord God. These are the Quranic verses about such categories of companions of Muhammad in Yathreb: "O you who believe! What is the matter with you, when it is said to you, “Mobilize in the cause of God,” you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the present life to the Hereafter? The enjoyment of the present life, compared to the Hereafter, is only a little. Unless you mobilize, He will punish you most painfully, and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. God has power over all things." (9:38-39); "Those who criticize the believers who give charity voluntarily, and ridicule those who find nothing to give except their own efforts - God ridicules them. They will have a painful torment." (9:79); "Those who stayed behind rejoiced at their staying behind the Messenger of God. And they hated to strive with their wealth and their lives in God’s way. And they said, “Do not venture out in the heat.” Say, “The Fire of Hell is much hotter, if they only understood.” Let them laugh a little, and weep much; in recompense for what they used to earn. If God brings you back to a party of them, and they ask your permission to go out, say, “You will not go out with me, ever, nor will you ever fight an enemy with me. You were content to sit back the first time, so sit back with those who stay behind.” You are never to pray over anyone of them who dies, nor are you to stand at his graveside. They rejected God and His Messenger, and died while they were sinners. Do not let their possessions and their children impress you. God desires to torment them through them in this world, and their souls die while they are disbelievers." (9:81-85); "But the messenger and those who believe with him strive with their possessions and their lives. These have deserved the good things. These are the successful. God has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great victory." (9:88-89); "There is no blame on the weak, nor on the sick, nor on those who have nothing to give, provided they are true to God and His Messenger. In no way can the righteous be blamed. God is Forgiving and Merciful. Nor on those who approach you, wishing to ride with you, and you said, “I have nothing to carry you on.” So they went away, with their eyes overflowing with tears, sorrowing for not finding the means to spend." (9:91-92).    

He said: What else is found in the Quranic Chapter Nine about the companions of Muhammad in Yathreb?

We said: Of course, the Quranic Chapter Nine was revealed shortly before the death of Muhammad in Yathreb; it tells us about the types of the companions; it mentions a lot the frank, overt hypocrites and it mentions once those adamant in hypocrisy who concealed their stance against Islam and Muhammad never knew who they are; the Lord God warns them of Hell and of torment in this world before their death; this means they never repented and they will commit grave sins after the death of Muhammad within the Arab conquests. This is a Quranic prediction in 9:101. Of course, their proper names are not mentioned in the Holy Quran. There are companions who were among the forerunners in deep faith, piety, and good deeds; of course, there are also those who mixed good deeds with bad ones and they are among those on the Right in Paradise. Let us quote the entire context here: "The Forerunners - The first of the immigrants and the supporters, and those who followed them in righteousness. God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. That is the sublime triumph. Among the Desert-Arabs around you there are some hypocrites, and among the inhabitants of the city too. They have become adamant in hypocrisy. You do not know them, but We know them. We will torment them twice; then they will be returned to a severe torment. Others have confessed their sins, having mixed good deeds with bad deeds. Perhaps God will redeem them. God is Forgiving and Merciful. Receive contributions from their wealth, to purify them and sanctify them with it; and pray for them. Your prayer is comfort for them. God is Hearing and Knowing." (9:100-103).

He said: Does history books mention the names of the pious companions of Muhammad?

We said: No. They never participated in the heinous crime and grave sin known as the Arab conquests; this is why history never mentions their names; historians focus only on the big criminals and tyrants such as the sinful four pre-Umayyad caliphs, Hitler, Caesar, and Genghis Khan. History never mentions those pious monotheists who never sought corruption and superiority on earth; it is an enough honor for them that the Lord God says the following about them: "That Home of the Hereafter - We assign it for those who seek no superiority on earth, nor corruption. And the outcome is for the pious ones." (28:83).

He said: What about when the Lord God in the Quran has threatened to wage a war against the believing companions of Muhammad in Yathreb?

We said: This is only about those who practiced usury instead of donating charity/Zakat money to the poor and the needy; they are urged to repent: "O you who believe! Fear God, and forgo what remains of usury, if you are believers. If you do not, then a war will be waged against you by God and His Messenger. But if you repent, you may keep your capital, neither wronging, nor being wronged. But if he is in hardship, then deferment until a time of ease. But to remit it as charity is better for you, if you only knew. And guard yourselves against a Day when you will be returned to God; then each soul will be rewarded fully for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged." (2:278-281).

He said: I see; people rarely ponder on the fact that the context 2:278-281 is addressed to believing companions of Muhammad. What is the definition of prohibited usury, then? When can usury or interest rates would be OK? In which cases?

We said: We explain this in our article in English titled "The Usury Battle" (found on this link:   http://www.ahl-alquran.com/English/show_article.php?main_id=6251).

He said: But what is meant by the Lord God waging a war against some people as per 2:279?

We said: After the death of Muhammad, the companions who were adamant in hypocrisy became the caliphs who led tens of thousands of other companions within the Arab conquests; politically, historically, and militarily, they managed to establish an Arab empire of bloodshed, tyranny, and injustice since they invaded several regions and enslaved their nations; using the Quran as the Criterion to judge their crimes, they are sinners and disbelievers who deserve Hell since they killed innocent people and looted, invaded, enslaved, raped,...etc.; they had consumed ill-gotten money and disbelieved in the Quran; they spread their disbelief in the ancient world; their worst crime is to ascribe the atrocities they had committed to the name of Islam and Allah; hence, True Islam is forgotten and abandoned now. Sadly, this resulted now worldwide in the fact that Islam is accused of being a bloody religion which spread by spears and swords. Other caliphs (the Umayyads) continued the bloodshed and Arab conquests until an Arab empire was established from Middle Asia at the borders of China to the Pyrenees in the south of France. The sinful caliphs have become infallible gods in the terrestrial Sunnite religion of Satan; this means that historical figures have been deified until now, and when anyone would dare criticize them, one is decaled to be a heretic or an apostate! This is why Sunnites, especially Azharites, hate our person when we, in our writings and videos, elucidate long-forgotten Quranic facts and expose the unspoken-of history of sinful caliphs and companions who were criminals. This is why Dr. Al-Tayyib attacked Quranists indirectly without mentioning them in his speech. Since in 2:279 the Lord God threatens to wage a war against some believing companions for practicing usury with the poor/needy instead of paying Zakat to them, this means that the companions of the Arab conquests are the enemies of the Lord God and their fate is Hell since they conquered and invaded nearly half of the ancient world in the Middle-Ages and thus committed many heinous crimes while they attributed them to the name of the Lord God and Islam: looting/stealing, burning/razing, confiscating, raping, enslaving, massacring,...etc.        

He said: I see; this means when the head-sheikh of Al-Azhar defend such human devils, he makes himself one of their worshippers; what about the fate of Dr. Al-Tayyib on the Last Day?

We said: In his old age, it is most unlikely that he would repent after spending most of his lifetime in misguiding the masses; it is no use trying to 'guide' or advise him; repentance requires that he would appear in the media to declare he was in the wrong in all his views and that he was both a misguided and misguided man; he is too proud to do so. This means his fate is Hell along with his false gods who are the deified companions of the Arab conquests (esp. the four pre-Umayyad caliphs Abou Bakr, Omar, Othman, and Ali), Middle-Ages authors/liars like Al-Bokhary, and the corrupt clergymen of Satan like Al-Sharaawy, Al-Qaradawy, and Al-Sistani whose followers, in Hell, will curse them and they will disown one another; the Lord God says the following in the Holy Quran: "Even though you may be concerned about their guidance, God does not guide those who misguide. And they will have no supporters." (16:37); "Gather those who did wrong, and their mates, and what they used to worship.  Besides God, and lead them to the way to Hell." (37:22-23); "And Hell will be displayed to the deviators. And it will be said to them, “Where are those you used to worship?” Besides God? Can they help you, or help themselves?” Then they will be toppled into it, together with the tempters. And the soldiers of Satan, all of them.  They will say, as they feud in it. “By God, We were in evident misguidance. For equating you with the Lord of the worlds. No one misled us except the criminals. Now we have no intercessors. And no sincere friend. If only we could have another chance, we would be among the believers.”" (26:91-102); "...If you could only see the unjust ones, captive before their Lord, throwing back allegations at one another. Those who were oppressed will say to those who were arrogant, “Were it not for you, we would have been believers.” Those who were arrogant will say to those who were oppressed, “Was it us who turned you away from guidance when it came to you? No indeed, you yourselves were criminals.” And those who were oppressed will say to those who were arrogant, “It was your scheming by night and day; as you instructed us to reject God, and to set up rivals to Him.” They will hide their remorse when they see the retribution. We will put yokes around the necks of those who disbelieved. Will they be repaid for anything other than what they used to do?" (34:31-33); "The Day when their faces are flipped into the Fire, they will say, “If only we had obeyed God and obeyed the Messenger.” And they will say, “Lord, we have obeyed our superiors and our dignitaries, but they led us away from the Path. Lord, give them double the torment, and curse them with a great curse.”" (33:66-68).

He said: The Lord God says nothing but the Absolute Truth.
