INTRODUCTION The everlasting way of Allah requires for His vicegerent to be known through a divine and decisive law which would never fall behind its companion, nor have its links broken not even for a single day, in order that a false claimant would be able to claim it or claim one of its links. The links of the divine law are the text, the knowledge, and the banner of allegiance to Allah. And Allah swt has made the vicegerents known in His Holy Book by these links. And the following is an ex- ample concerning Muhammad pbuhap, the master of creation: -Regarding the text, the Almighty said, ﴾Those who follow the Mes senger, the Ummi* prophet, whom they find to be written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him — it is they who will be the successful .ones.﴿ Surat al-Araf (The Heights) 7:157 The Almighty also said, ﴾And when Jesus son of Mary said, “O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirm- ing what came before me of the Torah and bringing glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmed.” But when he ﴿”.came to them with clear evidences, they said, “This is obvious magic Surat as-Saff (The Ranks) 61:6. Regarding the knowledge, the Almighty said, ﴾It is He who has *. Ummi (pl. Ummiyeen), meaning in Umm al-Qura (Mother of the Villages), the village around which all other villages center. At the time of Prophet Muhammad pbuhap, it was Mecca, and today it is al-Najaf in Iraq. —Trans. 2 Musaylimah in a New Garment: Nasser “the Liar” Muhammad sent among the Ummiyeen a messenger from themselves reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and -wisdom — although they were before in clear error.﴿ Surat al-Jumua (Fri day) 62:2. Regarding the call to Allah and His supremacy, the Almighty said, And why do you not believe in Allah while the messenger invites you﴾ to believe in your Lord and He has taken your covenant, if you were .believers?﴿ Surat al-Hadid (The Iron) 57:8 Despite the clarity of the truth of Muhammad pbuhap the beloved of Allah, the brightness of his proof, the evidence of his honesty and the fulfillment of the links of the divine law shown above; despite all the effort he exerted in warning the Muslims and fortifying them and specifying the means of guidance and salvation for them, we still find that a substantial number of people follow the claimants of falsehood like Musaylimah and Sajah. • THE FIRST MUSAYLIMAH AND HIS COMPANIONS Musaylimah the Liar had become a Muslim and later claimed prophethood in the year 10 a.h.. He claimed partnership in prophet- hood with the Messenger of Allah pbuhap. He wrote to the Messenger of Allah pbuhap saying, “I am a partner with you, you have half of the earth, and I have the other half, but Quraysh is an unjust nation.” So the Messenger of Allah pbuhap wrote back and said, “From Mu- hammad the Messenger of Allah to Musaylimah the Liar: After all [the introductions], the earth belongs to Allah and He bequeaths it to whomever He pleases of His servants, and the best outcome is for the righteous.” Tarikh al-Yaqubi, p. 130. Banu Hanifa and others who claimed to follow Islam ended up fol- lowing Musaylimah the Liar, while other tribes followed other false claimants such as Talha bin Khuwaylid who also claimed prophethood at the time of the Prophet pbuhap. Talha used to order them to aban- don prostration in prayers saying, “Allah does not establish [a decree] by covering your faces [in dust] nor disfiguring your backs.” Moreover, a group of savages and thugs followed Sujaah bint al- Harith, who also claimed prophethood. And when she went to Banu Hanifa in al-Yamama, the news of her claim reached Musaylimah the Liar, so he became frightened and sent someone to ask her for his safety so she granted him that. He then came to her and said, “We have half of the earth and Quraysh would have had the other half if they had been just, so Allah gave you the half that Quraysh turned down.” So she said to him, “Come down,” and he said, “Have your companions leave,” so she did, and he staked a tent, fastened it and then he met her inside. She said to him, “What has your Lord revealed to you?” He said, “Have you not seen your Lord, what he did with the preg- nant one, He brought out from her the breath of life that goes about, between the dermis and organs.” He mentioned another saying to her and she said, “I bear witness that you are a prophet.” Then they com- mitted adultery. Then a caller cried out, “Musaylimah, the messenger of Allah, has relieved you from two prayers which Muhammad has brought to you: the Fajr prayer and the Isha prayer.” Al-Kamal fi al-Tareekh, 4 Musaylimah in a New Garment: Nasser “the Liar” Muhammad Vol. 2 p. 355. These false prophets are liars who were followed by savages and thugs in the early time of Islam despite their lack of proofs and evi- dences to support their false claims, and what is strange is that their matter became more extreme after the death of the Messenger of Allah pbuhap even though their morally corrupt ways were enough to prove that they are liars!! MUHAMMAD pbuhap: THE FIRST YAMANI DURING THE FIRST JAHILIYYA There is no doubt that the Messenger of Allah Muhammad pbu- hap was mentioned by name and attributes to the People of the Book. Among his attributes is “the Yamani”, and in clarifying this, Imam Ahmed al-Hasan pbuh says, “Habakkuk, Chapter 3: 2 O Lord, I have heard the report of you, [ and your work, O Lord, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. 3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. 4 His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power. 5 Before him went pestilence, and plague followed at his heels. ] The meaning: God came from Teman : meaning God (Allah) came from Yemen. [ ] And the Holy One from Mount Paran : meaning the Holy One [ ] Muhammad pbuhap: The First Yamani during the First Jahiliyy 5 came from Mecca. And Allah is far above coming from the sky, let alone from the earth, because coming and going require movement and therefore oc- currence, thus negating the absolute divinity, so it cannot be consid- ered that the one who comes from Teman or Yemen is Allah swt, or that the one who comes from Paran is the Holy One swt; for this as well as the other attributes such as the hand, which Allah is far above. His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand; and [ there he veiled his power. Before him went pestilence, and plague fol- lowed at his heels. ] Rather, the one who comes is the Servant of Allah Muhammad pbuhap and his progeny pbut after him, as they are from Mecca, and Muhammad and his progeny pbut are Yamanis as well … And the fact that Teman is Yemen has been mentioned even in the Gospel in the words of Jesus pbuh when he described the Queen of Yemen as the Queen of the South (or Teman). Matthew Chapter 12: 42 The Queen of the South will rise up at the [ judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, some- thing greater than Solomon is here. ” A Letter Proving the Unity of Personalities of ] the First Mahdi, the Riser and the Yamani by Alaa al-Salim, page 30.

  • The Quran and the Secular Mind: a Philosophy of Islam
    The Quran and the Secular Mind In this engaging and innovative study Shabbir Akhtar argues that Islam is unique in its decision and capacity to confront, rather than accommodate, the challenges of secular belief. The author contends that Islam should not be classed with the modern Judaeo–Christian tradition since that tradition has effectively capitulated to secularism and is now a disguised form of liberal humanism. He insists that the Quran, the founding document and scripture of Islam, must be viewed in its own uniqueness and integrity rather than mined for alleged parallels and equivalents with biblical Semitic faiths. The author encourages his Muslim co-religionists to assess central Quranic doctrine at the bar of contemporary secular reason. In doing so, he seeks to revive the tradition of Islamic philosophy, moribund since the work of the twelfth century Muslim thinker and commentator on Aristotle, Ibn Rushd (Averroës). Shabbir Akhtar’s book argues that reason, in the aftermath of revelation, must be exer- cised critically rather than merely to extract and explicate Quranic dogma. In doing so, the author creates a revolutionary form of Quranic exegesis with vitally significant implications for the moral, intellectual, cultural and political future of this consciously universal faith called Islam, and indeed of other faiths and ideologies that must encounter it in the modern secular world. Accessible in style and topical and provocative in content, this book is a major philosophical contribution to the study of the Quran. These features make it ideal reading for students and general readers of Islam and philosophy. Shabbir Akhtar is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, USA.

  • The Story of the Quran ﻗﺼﺔ اﻟﻘﺮآن الﻜﺮ�ﻢ [ إ�ﻠ�ي - English ]
    The Story of the Quran ﻗﺼﺔ اﻟﻘﺮآن الﻜﺮ�ﻢ [ إ�ﻠ�ي - English ] www.islamreligion.com website مﻮﻗﻊ دﻳﻦ اﻹﺳﻼم 2013 - 1434 Muslims believe the Quran to be God’s final revelation. They believe it is the literal word of God, revealed over many years, to His final prophet, Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him. The Quran is full of wisdom. It is full of the wonder and glory of God, and a testament to His mercy and justice. It is not a history book, a storybook, or a scientific textbook, although it contains all of those genres. The Quran is God's greatest gift to humanity – it is a book like no other. In the second verse of the second chapter of the Quran, God describes the Quran by calling it a book whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are pious, righteous, and fear God. (Quran 2:2) The Quran is core to Islam. Believing in it is a requirement. One who does not believe in the Quran, in its entirety, cannot claim to be a Muslim. "The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in God, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) ‘We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers’ — and they say, ‘We hear, and we obey. (We seek) 2 Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)’." (Quran 2:285) Islam has two primary sources, the Quran, and the authentic Traditions of Prophet Muhammad, that explain and sometimes expand on that of the Quran.

  • The Persian Conquest of Jerusalem in 614CE Compared with Islamic Conquest of 638CE
    The Persian conquest of Jerusalem in 614CE compared with Islamic conquest of 638CE. Its Messianic nature and the role of the Jewish Exilarch By Ben Abrahamson and Joseph Katz Abstract: Explores the conquests of Jerusalem in 614CE and 638CE within the context of previous attempts at Jewish restoration. Discusses reasons for a Persian-Jewish alliance and later a Judeo-Arab alliance. In an attempt to reconcile contemporary sources, an account is given of Babylonian Jewish Exilarch Nechemiah ben Hushiel, his brother Shallum (Salmaan Farsi) and nephew Yakov (Ka'b Al-Ahbar) who played pivotal roles in these conquests. Proposes that the twelve men who went to Mecca to meet with the Prophet were Jewish refugees from Edessa, by way of Medina.
