The Heresies of Rumi: The Ibn Arabi of the Persianate World

Jalal al-Din Muhammad al-Rumi (d. 672 AH/1273 CE), or simply Rumi, is the most famous Sufi poet and scholar (nominally a Hanafi-Maturidi) who was born in the Persian lands of Balkh (in modern-day Afghanistan).

Greater Balkh was at that time a major centre of Persian culture, and heretical forms of Sufism had developed there for several centuries, incorporating deviant beliefs (similar to Hindu and other polytheistic beliefs).

Absurdity of Imamism: Birthday Party for ‘Mahdi’!

Charlatans celebrating the birthday of pseudo-Mahdi.

Today is the 15th of Sha’ban, the birthday (mawlid) of the 12th Imam according to the Twelver Imamite Shia. The mawlid (birth) of the Shia Mahdi is one of the most important religious occasions according to the Twelvers.

Neither Sunnis nor any other Shia sect, aside from the Twelver sect, believe that an alleged Mahdi was born over a millennium ago. Zaydis, just like Sunnis, affirm that Hasan al-Askari, the alleged father of the ‘Mahdi,’ had no children whatsoever as he was infertile! The Twelvers disagree and have created an entire cult (‘Mahdaviyat’) and occult around the so-called occultation (Ghaybat) of their ‘Mahdi’. They claim, based on flimsy reports even according to their own science of hadith standards, that the 15th of the sixth Islamic month of Sha’ban is the birthday of the Twelfth and last Shia Imam.

Two Sides of the Same Coin: Iran, Israel, and the Bombing of Sunni Mosques

Rafidi Iran and its stooges, along with the Zionist Yahood, are two sides of the same coin. Never shall the Ummah forget their crimes. Even if the Iranian regime, soaked in shirk, were to supply their own organs to the people of Palestine, it wouldn’t absolve them from their crimes and shirk. That’s if we assume that these heretical vilifiers of the Sahabah, responsible for the bloodshed of thousands of Sunnis from Iran, Iraq to Syria, are sincere well-wishers of Sunni Palestinians and not scheming mushriks with evident ulterior motives to spread their shirk in the lands of Palestine, Makkah, and Madinah.

Both the Yahood and the Majoos have a historical grudge against the Sahabah, particularly against the likes of Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him), who played a pivotal role in the downfall of the last Majoosi Persian empire and the conquest of the entire Levant, which to this day is predominantly Sunni.

X-rated Absurd Sufi Tale: The Sufi Master Who Disciplines with His Humongous Genital

Yusuf al-Nabahani was a famous Sufi (Shadhili order) who dedicated his efforts to campaign against the ‘Wahhabi’ movement and also wrote against Shaykh al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him). He served as a qadi (judge) in the Ottoman Empire and sent his daughter’s son, Taqiuddin al-Nabhani, to his colleagues and teachers at Al-Azhar University in Cairo. Later, Taqiuddin played a significant role in establishing the Hizb ut-Tahrir group.

How lunatics ‘discover’ the name of Ali ibn Abi Talib in the Quran

What do you do when you find yourself in a dilemma, belonging to a dubious sect that, in the name of Islam, has been absurdly exaggerating (ghuluw) so much about your favourite saint, the so-called ‘infallible Imam’, to the point of claiming that this ‘infallible’ is even superior to the mightiest prophets — yet you fail to provide a single verse in the Quran clearly mentioning this alleged infallible Imam?
