An Impostor on Solomon’s Throne

  

Dajjal (Anti-Christ), the Qur’an and the Beginning of History

An Impostor on Solomon’s Throne

 

The Qur’an proceeded to reveal a truly astonishing event in religious history, the likes of which one can hardly, if ever, find a parallel. The description of the event has led us to the view that Solomon had a vision from Allah Most High in which he saw that a soulless impostor would one day sit on his throne, and hence seek to establish a bogus State with a claim that he has restored Holy Israel; and it was precisely because of his knowledge of that ominous future event that he immediately made an extra-ordinary prayer to Allah Most High. Here are the two relevant verses of the Qur’an:

 (Qur’an, Sad, 38:34)

Allah Most High caused distress to Solomon when He placed upon his throne a Jasad, i.e., a human body without a soul; and when Solomon saw what was shown to him, he thereupon turned penitently towards Allah and made a prayer. 

 

In the very next verse of the Surah Allah Most High described Nabi Sulaiman’s response to the Jasad which he saw sitting on his throne:

(Qur’an, Sad, 38:35)

Solomon responded with the prayer that Allah Most High might forgive him his sins, and ordain that his Holy State of Israel could never belong to any after him: verily, Thou alone can grant such a thing.

 

Proper methodology for studying this subject, in order to understand and identify the Jasad, requires that these two verses be studied as a whole. It is indeed regrettable that Islamic scholars failed to apply proper methodology in their efforts to explain the Jasad and, as a consequence they have delivered very strange explanations of the subject. 

 

When the two verses are studied as a whole, the entirely plausible deduction can be derived that the human body that was devoid of a soul, and hence described as a Jasad, which was placed on Solomon’s throne, terrified him into making the prayer that he made because he could see that it would attempt to usurp his throne—which is his rule over Holy Israel, and to create an unholy State in the Holy Land—in Holy Israel’s name—that would seek to compare with Holy Israel. 

 

Our view, therefore, is that Nabi Sulaiman saw the Anti-Christ or Dajjal, the false Messiah, sitting on his throne in Jerusalem, with a mission of eventually ruling over a State of Israel that would claim to be Holy Israel, and hence he made the prayer to Allah Most High in order to ensure that such an effort should never succeed. The Jasad who was sitting on the throne was Dajjal!   

 

We can now recognize that Dajjal is not an angel, nor a Jinn, but, rather, a Jasad, i.e., a human body that is without a soul.

 

We do not know of anyone who has previously identified the Jasad of the Qur’an with Dajjal, and hence it is possible that such an identification has been made in this book for the first time. Since this is the most important of all our views presented in this book, our readers would naturally be interested in knowing what were the explanations and interpretations of the verse that were given in particular, by the classical commentators of the Qur’an. For this reason we have included a summary of those views in Appendix Two. 

 

Since this writer is of the view that Dajjal, or the AntiChrist, is the Jasad that Allah placed on Solomon’s throne, it would follow that he is a special one-of-a-kind created being who would appear as a human being because he has a human body, but who would not be a complete human being since he would be without a soul (Nafs). Since he does not possess a soul, he would not have a free will, or a self-directed-will, and hence he would not be responsible for his conduct. It would follow therefrom that he would not be judged on Judgment Day as would all other human beings. It may be difficult, if not impossible, for some readers to even understand, much less to eventually accept, this view of Dajjal expressed above.  Hence, we advise that such readers should move on with the subject and not allow this view of Dajjal to become a bone that sticks in the throat.

 

We need to make one more comment concerning the Jasad however, before we can move on with our subject.

 

If Dajjal is, indeed, a Jasad, i.e., a human body without a soul or spirit, then it would follow that Dajjal does not possess intrinsic intelligence. He does not, and cannot think for himself. Rather his intelligence and his process of thinking is externally programmed. He is similar to a robot, and we can thus better understand Dajjal, and sometimes even recognize his footprints, in whatever functions through artificial intelligence. Nowhere are the Dajjal’s footprints more visible today than in the world of money where real money in the form of gold and silver have been replaced by a monetary Jasad of artificial money.  This will be the subject of a subsequent book, Insha’ Allah.

 

The Qur’an went on to describe the success of that Jasad in getting the Jinn to continue to work for him and to serve him for long years while believing that they were working for Solomon. The explanation for Dajjal’s success in that act of deception is that, upon the death of Solomon, the Jinn saw only the Jasad sitting on the throne and holding on to Solomon’s staff, and assumed that it was Solomon. The Jinn were bonded to Sulaiman by divine decree, and hence did not have the freedom to observe what was occurring in the world (see Qur’an, Saba, 34:12–14). They were unaware that Sulaiman was dead and buried. They had no knowledge of Akhir al-Zaman and, as a consequence, there was no way that they could realize that they were working as slaves for an impostor. Thus the unholy State of Israel would receive the continuous support of the Jinn during the long struggle for its eventual creation, upon the birth of Israel, and all through its life, so long as Dajjal continued to sit on Solomon’s throne while holding on to his holy staff.

Islamic Modernism

An Islamic View of Gog Magog in the Modern World

 

 

Islamic Modernism

This is a sect of secularized Muslims who are enamored by the scientific and technological achievements of modern Western secular civilization and by its political and military power and economic prosperity. They recognize and interpret this power and these achievements as a validation of secular Western civilization’s claim to truth. Indeed some of them actually claim that modern Western secular civilization emerged out of Islam and represents the blossoming of all that is best in Islam. The sect made its debut  in post-Caliphate Turkey.  

 

‘Islamic modernists’ wish to see the world of Islam so modernized that Muslims could comfortably embrace the Western way of life complete with its political Shirk, economic and monetary Riba, feminist revolution, and the like. Islamic modernists usually come to terms with the State of Israel and enter into friendship and alliance with that state. Modernist Turkey did so, and Musharraf’s modernist regime in Pakistan attempted to do the same. Other Islamic modernists find it expedient to maintain a convenient silence in response to oppression in the Holy Land.

 

They accept Israel’s moral and legal right to exist. They do so despite Israel’s record of continuing oppression from the moment of its tortured immoral and unjust creation and throughout its bloodstained existence. Some Islamic modernists even criticize mainstream Islam in its conflict with the Ahmadiyyah Movement. Others identify themselves with the West to the extent that when they reside in USA, UK, Australia, Canada, etc., they refer to members of the US and British armed forces engaged in brutal occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan as ‘our’ troops. They function as sponges that readily soak up all that they receive at the altar of the West. They can be easily identified through their denunciation of Jihad and those whom they demonize as Jihadists. They adopt terminology as “Islamists” and “Islamism” and hurl abuses against “Mullas”, “Islamic obscurantism” and “Islamic fundamentalism”. The late, Oxford-educated, Benazir Bhutto, was a typical product of Islamic modernism. 

 

They are quick to lecture Muslims against committing acts of terrorism but in doing so these Islamic modernists actually deliver false unspoken recognition of Muslim responsibility for such acts of terrorism as the 9/11 attack on America. In doing so they subliminally advance a sinister agenda on behalf of the Jewish-Christian alliance that now controls power in the world. They never recognize and denounce the greatest terrorist-States that the world has ever known, since if they were ever to criticize Israel, USA, UK and Europe for state-sponsored terrorism and for genocide in occupied Gaza in the Holy Land for example, and extend tangible support to the oppressed Palestinian Muslims and Christians, their modernist platform and alliance with the West would not survive. They close their ears and eyes and refuse to join the majority of American people in rejecting as lies the official US government explanation of the 9/11 terrorist attack on America.

 

Such misguided ‘Islamic modernists’ lack the capacity to recognize that while both civilizations have benefited from each other, the foundation of modern Western civilization is the anti-thesis of Islam. The religion of Islam is founded on truth, absolute moral values and a spiritual interpretation of the universe which transcends the visible material world. On the other hand this godless and decadent rival to Islam rejects belief in any reality beyond material reality, and constantly creates its own secular values in which, for example, homosexuality and lesbianism are no longer morally evil. There can be no synthesis between truth on the one hand, and godlessness, decadence, ethical relativism and metaphysical materialism on the other, yet the raison d’etre of Islamic modernism is located in the effort to realize precisely such a synthesis. 

 

This writer has recognized Dajjal as the mastermind responsible for bringing modern Western secular civilization into being, and just as Dajjal has the word Kafir (disbeliever) written between his eyes on his forehead so too is Kufr (disbelief) indelibly imprinted on the face of this civilization. Islamic Modernism is emphatically entrenching itself in the modern West in countries such as USA and UK. But it has also raised its ugly head in the Muslim world as was evident from recent events in Malaysia for example. Prime Minister Ahmad Abdullah Badawi has championed the cause of Islamic Modernism with his Islam Hadari movement.

 

Common to all these misguided sects is their reluctance to teach or write on the subject of ‘Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age’. They also share with many in the rest of the world of Islam a curious, highly regrettable and utter lack of interest in seeking to locate the iron barrier that Dhul Qarnain had built which must necessarily be still standing if Gog and Magog have not as yet been released into the world. 

 

Also common to these sects is their demonization of those Muslims who pursue the authentic path of al-Ihsan or Tasawwuf (i.e. Islamic spirituality) despite the fact that this is a path and a struggle which can eventually deliver Nurullah (i.e. light from Allah Most High) and with it a capacity to see with two eyes (the internal and external) while Dajjal the false Messiah and his many disciples see with only one eye (i.e. the external eye). 

 

The world continues to wait for a scholarly work from Islamic modernists on the subject of ‘Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age’. 

 

Elitist sectarian Sufism

Finally we must make mention of certain modern-day elitist Sufis who wield a magical pen in proclaiming the gospel of Islamic spirituality yet remain amazingly blind and incapable of recognizing the reality of much of what was described above, or are mysteriously silent on the subject. Neither can they recognize that the Hajj in the Saudi-American Kingdom is now controlled by the enemies of Islam and has therefore lost much of its validity, nor that modern non-redeemable paper currencies, as well as the cashless electronic money that is now poised to replace paper money, to be bogus, fraudulent and hence Haram. They cannot recognize the bogus nature of much of so-called Shariah-compliant Islamic Finance (the so-called Murabaha center-piece transaction of modern so-called Islamic finance is, in fact, Riba disguised as a sale), nor can they recognize voting in elections of the modern secular State to be an act of Shirk, and the list goes on and on. Most significant of all however is their non-participation, even with the pen, in the struggle of the contemporary world of Islam for liberation from western political and economic oppression. Yet many of these so-called Sufis constitute themselves as condescending elitist Muslims while others participate in sectarian rivalry with gusto. 

 

In demonstrating its capacity to use the Qur’an and Ahadith to accurately explain the strange world today, Islamic scholarship would not only validate truth in Islam but also distinguish itself from such elitist and sectarian Islamic scholarship. In explaining the subject of ‘Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age’ Islamic scholarship would blaze a trail that would benefit Muslims who seek to distinguish between the very many spurious sectarian claims to authenticity in Islam on the one hand and the true faith on the other. 

 

Finally let us remind readers that many ‘Signs’ of the ‘Last Day’ are directly linked to the worst forms of oppression that are constantly escalating in the Holy Land. True Muslims can be recognized and distinguished from their counterfeit sectarian rivals through their determined resistance of the godless decadent oppressors who now rule the world on behalf of the imposter Euro-Jewish State of Israel. The rightly-guided community of Muslims (i.e. Jama’ah) would be those blessed with the capacity to locate that explanation of ‘Signs of the Last Day’ in the blessed Qur’an and Ahadith which explains events now unfolding in the Holy Land, and which guides to a proper response. They would be those who, as a consequence, wage a courageous struggle to realize in that Holy Land the triumph of truth and justice over falsehood, injustice and barbaric oppression.

The Prohibition of Riba in Quran and Sunnah Conclusion

THE PROHIBITION OF RIBA IN THE QUR’AN AND SUNNAH

Being an explanation of the Islamic prohibition of riba (i.e. borrowing and lending on interest. among other things) and an effort:

to remind Muslims of the teachings of the Qur’an and the Sunnah as they pertain to the prohibition of riba and in particular that a violation of this prohibition constitutes a great sin;

to expose the grand design of hostile forces who have already made considerable progress, through riba in gaining control over mankind. Their aim is to gain total control and to use that power to destroy faith in Allah;

to assist Muslims to get out of direct involvement in riba and thus to preserve their faith (Imaan) while recognizing that it is today impossible to live a life which is completely free from riba.

to explain the economic Sunnah (i.e. the Sunnah as it pertains to economic affairs) and in particular the nature of the free and fair market and the different ways through which that market has today been tonally corrupted.

to warn Muslims of the inevitable collapse of the present fraudulent system of non-redeemable artificial money, i.e. paper plastic and electronic money; and to encourage them to return to the use of the real money created by Allah i.e. gold and silver coins or any other real money;

to contribute towards the restoration of the free and fair market (with a different business ethics to that of riba-based capitalism) by encouraging ba’i (business) in the place of riba and raising of capital by way of mudarabah and musharaqa) investments rather than bank loans on interest.

That time has now arrived! 

Islam declares that the oppressed have the right to resort to force in their struggle for liberation from all forms of oppression, including economic oppression! No law can take away that right from them.

This work has exposed the many forms of riba to be the most destructive forces at work corrupting and destroying the free and fair market. Riba should be recognized as the curse of business and trade, - and as systematically destroying the collective benefits which are derived from business and trade. The injustices involved in riba are both enormous and dangerous. It breaks up, for example, the unity and fraternity of the social order and creates class hatred, violence, chaos etc. or what the Qur’an describes as fitan.

The prevalence of riba in the world today further confirms that we now live in the age of fitan (evil) which the Prophet (s) prophesied to be the last age before qiyamah (the end of the world). How should a Muslim live in the age of fitan? A companion of the Prophet (s) named Hudhaifa asked the Prophet about the age of evil and how we should live in that age. This was his reply:

Among the Signs of the last day as described by Allah's Messenger to his companion, Hudhaifa, is the following: People will follow a Sunnah other than mine and give guidance other than mine, so you will find in them both something to acknowledge and something to reject. I asked whether there would be any evil after that good and he replied. Yes, there will be people who summon others at the gates of jahannam into which they will cast those who respond to them. I asked Allah's Messenger to describe them to us and he said: They will be of our stock and speak like us. I asked: what command he had to give me if that happened in my time and he replied: You must adhere to the jama'at.
