‘Ayatollah’ Brujerdi’s Startling Admission: Shi’ism’s Decline in Iran

‘Ayatollah’ Javad Alavi Boroujerdi, the grandson of the ‘Grand Ayatollah’ Hossein Tabatabaei Boroujerdi, shares concerns about the future of the Shia clergy and Shi’ism. Likewise, individuals such as Abbas Abdi, who played a role in the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis before becoming a political dissenter, and Mohsen Hashemi, the son of the son of  ‘Ayatollah’ Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, express similar apprehensions. All three are troubled by the erosion of the foundations of the Shia faith in Iran.

The May 9 edition of the Iran News examines religious leaders’ frustration with the decline of Shi’iam in Iran.

Exploring Sufism | The Naqshbandi Haqqani Sufi Cult (‘Order’)

Nazim Haqqani has been a joke for his entire existence. He has only ever been present in the Muslim consciousness in the 21st century as an internet meme. Nonetheless, Allah knows how many have fallen victim to the charlatanry (in the name of spirituality) of his mini dajjal and his esoteric Naqshbandi Sufi tariqah.

These heretics must be exposed for generations to come, lest we forget.

𝗜𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗺 – The Evil of Idolatry

In oh-so-ascetic Buddhism, the oh-so-humble and ascetic monks (often living in impoverished countries) insist on statues of their founding father (these idols have become a source of income for them, from which they fund their monasteries, much like Shia and Sufi shrines are a source of income for ‘pirs’ and ‘ayatollahs’).

An old picture of me (with the beige shirt) with a Basij in Iran in 2003 (my last trip to my native Iran), the year I turned my back on Rafidism.

In the photo above you can see me standing right next to Khomeini’s seat from where he addressed the Iranian nation and the world. This site is actually a Shia temple of lamentation and self-flagellation (“Husayniyyah”) in Jamaran, Tehran, right next to what was then the home of Khomeini (today he is buried in a Sassanian Majoosi-like mega-palace).

The Myth of The Bay’ah of Ghadir

BY EBN HUSSEIN (Shia convert to Islam/Sunnah)

The Greatest Bay’ahs of Islam VS The Myth of The Bay’ah of Ghadir

The greatest of all pledges of allegiance (bay’ah) is that of the Sahabah to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) which is clearly and unambiguously mentioned in the Quran and thus even the Sahabah abusers and haters have no choice but to recite it if they really believe in the book of Allah.

ِAbu Ayyub shrine (!) which is regularly visited by Erdogan and by Sufis around the world in Istanbul. They have turned the once modest grave of this Sahabi into a pilgrimage hotspot.

The deranged Shia cleric Yasser al-Habib Attempts To Justify Heathen Firewalking Rituals

The deranged Shia cleric Yasser al-Habib (notorious for his ridiculous analogies, including one in which he conflates Islamic cupping with Shia self-harming rituals) advocates pagan Hindu Zoroastrian firewalking rituals based on fabrications attributed to the Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them) and playing with the emotions of the Shia.

Enmity Towards The Sahabah and Simping for The Kuffar – An Ancient Trait of The Rafidah

“They (i.e. the Rafidah) are the greatest of the followers of desires, in both ignorance and oppression, they show enmity towards the best of the Awliya of Allah, the Most High, from those after the Prophets, amongst the foremost (in faith) amongst the Muhajirin and Ansar (i.e. chiefs of the Sahabah) and those who followed them in goodness – may Allah be pleased with them, and they be pleased with him – and they ally with the Disbelievers, Hypocrites, Jews, Christians, the Pagans, and the various factions of the Malahidah (Disbelieving Heretics)… (Minhaj al-Sunnah by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah)

Peshawar Nights – An Iranian Shia Forgery

By Ebn Hussein | 1443 / 2022

Muhammad al-Yaqoubi The Sufi: A Christian Lady Was Saved by Invoking The Prophet ﷺ Who Cured Her!

Muhammad al-Yaqoubi is a very influential Sufi preacher in the Western hemisphere, particularly in the English-speaking world. As a typical Sufi Molvi,  he has his good share of stories in which Ghuluw practices (such as invoking the saints directly, especially in times of hardship!) are endorsed and propagated to the gullible (under the pretext that the saints can perform Karamat and Mu’jizat even after their demise. As if this somehow justifies invoking the saints directly in the essence of worship that is Du’a, something that Islam has never endorsed, whether the saint is dead or alive).

The Most Mendacious And The Most Shirk-practicing Of All Sects

By Ebn Hussein

No wonder the grave worshippers hate Shaykh al-Islam Abu al-‘Abbas ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him. I’d hate him too if he had exposed my religion to the max. What a legend, around 600 years ago he described these batini zanadiqah and mushrikun exactly how they are to this very day (if not worse).

Quboori extremist: “Fulan Hanbali shaykh said, “Ya Muhammad” and fulan Shafi’i and Hanbali shaykh authenticated the hadith of the blind man (“Ya Muhammad”).

Having said that: Ya Ali/Hussain/Jilani, etc., etc. madad!”

“The Martyrs Are Alive, Therefore I Can Beseech My Favourite Saint For Help” Argument Debunked

One of the most abused and misapplied verses of the Qur’an are those about the martyrs (الشهداء) who are described as being alive (with their Rabb). The extremists from amongst the heretical sects, present those verses to the gullible and ignorant masses as proof and justification for the heresy and mother of all shirk (polytheism) that is the invocation of the saints (imams, Ahl al-Bayt, shaykhs, pirs, etc.) for one’s needs.

“Calling Upon Other Than Allah Is Like Asking Your Fellow Human Being For A Favour” FALLACY DEBUNKED

“Asking Ali, Fatimah, Jesus, Mary, Jilani, Badawi, *insert saint/pir/shaykh/imam* for help is as shirk as asking a friend for help. Don’t you go to the doctor asking to get cured? Don’t you order pizza? Don’t you go to the doctor? Lulz, that means Vahabis do shirk every day when asking other than Allah for help. Lulz, consider yourselves refuted, ya Vahabis!”

The “but, you ask your mom to make a sandwich for you, to make du’a for you, to pass the glass for you” argument. Ya Allah, where to begin addressing this shallow and superficial understanding that is based on a flawed comparison (logical fallacy)?!

‘Ayatollah’ Ali Namazi Shahroudi (may Allah torment his soul for eternity)

The rancour which the Shia harbour for the noble Sahabah (رضي الله عنهم) needs no introduction and it is quite commonplace to find them levelling unfounded tenuous accusations against the esteemed companions and students of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on account of their bigotry.
