The
Devils Deception of the Nasibi Wahabis "A
comprehensive research in to the Nasibis (wahabis/deobandis) you can ever find
anywhere." The motivation behind the writing
of this book came about from my personal experience. From my humble Christian
background Allah (swt) guided me to his deen (religion). The brothers who converted
me were themselves Salafi and hence I was indoctrinated to their aqeedah (ideology).
The earliest thing that I was told was that I should be weary of the enemies of
Islam disguised as Muslims such as Shi'as who portrayed Islam on the outside but
were infact kafir, on account of the "facts" such as: 1.
They believe that the Qur'an has verses missing from it. 2. They curse the
Sahaba and wives of the Prophet (s). 3. They believe that the revelation should
have gone to Ali, but Gibrail (a.s.) accidentally conveyed it to Prophet Muhammad
(s). As such they curse Gibrael when they complete their prayers. 4. They
beat themselves in Muharram and fornicate in the precincts of their mosques on
the 10th night - any male product from this illegal union is named Hussain, and
any girl is named Zaynab. You can imagine how this made
me feel, being constantly told about this, time and time again. Hence I bore extreme
hatred towards the Shi'a in my heart. As a brother told me "You should hate
the Shi'a with a vengeance". Two years after I
reverted I married a Salafi sister of South Asian descent - whilst practising,
she was rather less exuberant than I was in active Dawah activities. A
few weeks after we married, very close friends of my wife invited us both to dinner.
It was only when I arrived there that I learnt that the family were Shi'a, had
I known earlier I would have probably never gone. The
host was very kind, but kept asking me questions on my beliefs etc. I tried to
sidetrack, but he kept prying and this made be feel very uneasy. This was our
first meeting but we met many more times in the coming weeks, on account of the
fact that his place of work was next to the University where I studied. He tried
his hardest to convince me that the Shi'a were correct in their beliefs, but I
simply programmed myself to believe that he was a kaafir who was practising taqiyya.
Despite this after a year of heated discussions my heart was starting to accept
some of his arguments. Whilst I would simply regurgitate whatever my Salafi brothers
had taught me -he would always reply logically and would back up his comments
by citing traditions from classical works such as Sahih al Bukhari. In
truth I had not discussed any of these conversations to my Salafi brothers, until
I was out one day and visited a market stall that was run by two Salafi reverts.
After our general salutations I informed one of the brothers that I had a friend
who was Shi'a and inquired whether he knew anything about the Shi'a faith. No
sooner did I say the name "Shi'a" that the brother's face changed colour,
he said: "Brother don't talk to them they are kafir
(infidels), they believe that the Qur'an has verses missing". I
told him that the Shi'a I had spoken to denied this and countered me by presenting
a tahreef tradition from Sahih al Bukhari - with Umar stating that a Surah on
stoning is missing. The brother was shocked and after about a minute's silence
he said: "brother they did black magic with your eyes you didn't see it!"
This really made me laugh and I walked off. I proceeded
to do my shopping and was just passing the stall again when the brother called
me over and introduced me to a revert who he acclaimed as an "expert on Shi'ism".
The 'expert' said: "So you wanna know about the Shi'a kafir, all you need
to know is that they believe in 12 Gods". Even
I from my general conversations with the Shi'a brother knew that this was a blatant
lie. I then decided to test him by quizzing the fact that Shi'as believe 'Ali
to be the Prophet (s)'s legitimate successor and I cited the Sahih tradition 'Ali
is to me as Harun is to Musa except there shall be no Prophet after me'. The
'expert' then countered this by asking: "And what
did he (s) say about Umar[r]?" I knew exactly what
he was asking and said: "If there had to be a Prophet after me it would be
Umar". The expert patted me on the back and said:
"Exactly brother". I then asked him "That being the case why did
Umar not become the first Khalifa? Is this not an insult to Hadhrath Umar?"
The expert looked bemused, smiled and said: "Brother
you've just used your Aql (reason) and that's haram". It
was that reply that will act as a permanent memory for me. I still remember looking
over to the revert brother who owned the stall following this reply, he smiled
a half smile, that to me suggested that he was about as convinced at the reply
as I was. For me this was the turning point in my life. The sheer stupidity and
lies I heard at that stall convinced me that the Salafis were trying to cover
something up. Alhamdolillah, the 'expert' achieved greater success in guiding
me to the Shi'a than the Shi'a brother had, despite a year of rigorous debating!
It was his blatant lies and lack of logic that repelled me away from the Salafis
and attracted me to the Ahl'ul bayt (a.s.). You might
ask 'what has this to do with the preface?' - well only a handful of brothers
are fortunate enough to ever meet knowledgeable Shi'as and learn the actual truth.
As the vast bulk of reverts are brought to the Din by the Salafi's the opportunity
of them ever actually meeting and discussing matters with Shi'as is highly unlikely.
This is increased when one takes into account the level of propaganda and lies
that are pumped into a revert's mind with regards to the Shi'a and what they allegedly
believe. When I look back at my time with the Salafis I recall that they never
talked about 'Ali (a.s.) - why? Well since becoming Shi'a, truth has been made
manifest - they are the Nasibis, his enemies - and are hiding their enmity behind
the "Sunni label". That's why I had asked
the brother who sacrificed so many hours of his time to guide me, to write a rebuttal
of their lies and expose their actual aqeedah to the world. I hope that this book
opens the minds of my fellow reverts who have been deceived by the Salafis. It
is indeed sad that these same reverts who embraced Islam having researched the
truth with an open mind and logical reasoning, abandon these same principles when
being indoctrinated into the Salafi movement, preferring to blindly follow every
word of their Nasibi Shaykhs. I also hope that the book acts as a source of inspiration
to my down-trodden Shi'a brothers and sisters who have to put up with the Salafi
Nasibi propaganda onslaught on a daily basis. Your brother
in Islam, Abdul Hakeem Oranu.
