Neo-Umayyadism: They wear the label ‘Nasibi’ like a badge of honour.

“Those who split up their Religion, and become (mere) Sects,- each party rejoicing in that which is with itself!” (Qur’an 30:32)

﷽

Well, if you haven’t heard of them by now, know that they are coming to a masjid near you!

We suspect Neo-Umayyadism predates the Syrian civil war, but that conflict certainly accelerated it.

We really wanted to be the ones to break the story to you, but it seems we were beaten to the punch.

Although the following article addresses Neo-Umayyadism on a surface level, it doesn’t go much deeper than that.

https://www.syriaintransition.com/en/home/archive/issue-23/the-new-umayyads

First and foremost, what is Neo-Umayyadism? It is a romanticized idea of the ideal Islamic state — a vision of when the so-called “real” and “orthodox” Muslims were at their peak. It is fiercely defensive of anything related to the Umayyads. This includes, but is not limited to, Mu’awiya I, Yazid I, al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf, Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad, Marwan I, etc.

They see the Umayyad dynasty as the peak of Muslim potential — a period when Islam was free of Alidism, esotericism, and Shi’ism in all its forms.

They see the majority of Sunni Muslims as products of the Abbasid dynasty. They strongly believe that a Shi’ification of Sunnism took place under the Abbasids. They firmly believe that “Abbasid Sunnism” is a “gateway drug” that can lead any nominal Sunni into becoming a full-fledged Zaydi or Imami, etc.

There is certainly some underlying truth to their claims.

In our interactions with such people, they have gone so far as to accuse Shu’ayb ibn Muharram al-Albani al-Arna’ut, Ali ʿIzz ad-Din Abū al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammed ash-Shaybānī, and even Aḥmad ibn Muḥammed ibn Ḥanbal himself of Shi’ism!

They see themselves as a bulwark against any Shi’i-led political influence.

They show young men this map and say to them, in effect:

“At its height, during the years 661 to 750, the caliphate was 11.1 million square kilometers, making it one of the largest contiguous empires in world history. It was an empire where the praise of Ali and his household was not central at all.”

“All that went away when the cursed Abbasids came along! The Ummah to this day is under their grip!”

Whereas a normative Sunni by today’s standards would recoil at being called a “Nasibi,” these people wear it as a badge of honour! They embrace it and wear it as a perfume whose aroma they hope reaches the nostrils of all who have the least favourable thing to say about Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib.

This movement is particularly strong in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq. It has gained traction in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey, and Egypt.

Do not think that the reach of this movement is limited to the Middle East. That is a far cry from the truth. As one brother mentioned to us regarding its reach in Indonesia, where a marker of one’s true Sunnism is to name one’s child Yazid or Mu’awiya — or at the very least to have these in their full name.

Abu Bakr and Umar will not do, because the “Abbasid Sunnis” — whom they (the Umayyad Sunnis) see as Crypto-Shi’i — name their children Abu Bakr and Umar.

For the Umayyad Sunni, the Caliphs were four: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Mu’awiya.

From the historical and academic perspective, this is true for the Proto-Sunni.

Whereas in our (Ibāḍī) normal interactions with Sunni Muslims, they recoil and are shocked to find that certain companions of the Blessed Messenger (saw) had a hand in the assassination of Uthman ibn Affan; these Umayyad Sunnis have no problem accepting this.

In fact, one of the arguments against the sincerity of Mu’awiya is that the opponents of the Umayyads ask: “Why didn’t he track down and go after those who killed Uthman ibn Affan, then?”

These Umayyad Sunnis respond: “He did exactly that! Starting with Muhammed ibn Abi Bakr [the son of Abu Bakr], who had his head removed and was desecrated by being stuffed into the carcass of a dead donkey and set on fire!”

They are quite prepared to give a list of all those whom they accuse of having a hand in the assassination of Uthman ibn Affan, and how Mu’awiya and his proxies executed them one by one.

You see, dear reader — and you may want to sit down for this one — in their view, Ali ibn Abu Talib was, and is, a Kharijite, and everyone who supported him was, and is, a Kharijite!

These people, from what we have seen, tend for the most part to follow the Maliki school, the Salafi school, and the Hanbali school. However, there is real tension when the issue of the accusation of Ahmad ibn Hanbal being a Shi’i, or having Shi’i sympathies, comes up.

They have their own shaykhs and teachers, and for the most part these tend to stay in the background (due to some of their more controversial takes), even among Sunnis who share hostility and disdain towards Shi’is.

However, for those who want to dip their toes in the water, you can follow https://x.com/saber_mashhour on X, or see his YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFYxcI3NcbZUKyjtsfgVSiA

We can give you one free sample of one interaction between us (Ibāḍī) and these Umayyad Sunnis. You will not fail to notice a single reply from any other Sunni to this man, even though he is making a strong accusation against a major Sunni scholar.

This was an exchange in which one of our brothers defended the noble companion Hurqus ibn Zuhair (ra) from the vicious attacks of these people!

To read more on Hurqus ibn Zuhair (ra):

The noble companion Hurqus ibn Zuhair and the deception of Ahl Sunnah “Be Just!”

@UthmanAbw (notice the name Uthman — why, of course) says:

“Ibn al-Athir is a malicious, resentful Shiite like you, so don’t try to speculate. And he cites al-Tabari, may Allah have mercy on him. Al-Tabari, may Allah have mercy on him, doesn’t speak without a chain of narration and is lenient in transmission. It’s clear that the malicious Ibn al-Athir chose what pleased him and cut the chain so we wouldn’t critique the narration and know its truth.”

Prima Qur’an Comments: What a feral little otter pup! However, these gentlemen would be in for a treat once they read the following:

‘Ali told one of his followers named al-Ashtar: “I told you that I assigned to Muhammed bin Abi Bakr the governorship (of Egypt); (but) these Khawarij have revolted against him.” Thus, according to ‘Ali, Mu’awiya and his followers were the Khawarij.

Ali identifies Mu’awiya as the Khawarij!

Sources: Al-Tabari, Al-Ta’rikh, vol. 6, p. 31; https://www.kalamullah.com/Books/The%20History%20Of%20Tabari/Tabari_Volume_17.pdf

So, maybe now that this post is public, someone will rush to the comment section on X to go and scold UthmanAbw.

Not all Sunni scholars are asleep. Shaykh Al-Diddu has taken notice of this and spoke about it here:

Translation as follows:

“The idea of Nusb (enmity towards Ali and his family) and the innovation of Nusb that has emerged now has led many people in Sham (Syria), for example, to say: ‘We are Umayyads, and our affiliation is entirely to Banu Umayyah; our history began with Abdul Malik bin Marwan, and our allegiance is to Yazid bin Mu’awiyah,’ and so on. There is no doubt that in this there are great exaggerations and excesses. For this Ummah is one Ummah, and its best are the noble Companions, then those who follow them in goodness, and so on. Just as the Rafidah (Shia) slander Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him, his father, and his mother), and slander Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), and slander a number of the Companions, likewise these Nawasib (those hostile to the Prophet’s family) slander the noble Family of the Prophet (Ahl al-Bayt). Both of these two groups have strayed from the right path.” — Shaykh Al-Diddu

But unfortunately, Shaykh Al-Diddu is a product of Abbasid Sunnism — the very kind that this Neo-Umayyad Sunnism warns about.

Some Sunnis have even gone so far as to disavow certain books altogether!

Like the following, which is not considered a controversial attribution:

“The people of Sham (Syria) sought Abu Musa, so he fled to Mecca; then Amr and the people of Sham headed to Mu’awiyah, so they pledged allegiance to him as Caliph, and Sharik returned to Ibn Abbas. And Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) — when he prayed the morning prayer, he would say in his Qunut: ‘O Allah, curse Mu’awiyah, and Amr, and Abu al-A’war, and Habib, and Abd al-Rahman bin Khalid, and al-Dahhak bin Qais, and al-Walid.’ This reached Mu’awiyah, so when Ali cursed [them]…

[Highlighted Text]
“He (Mu’awiyah) would curse Ali, and Ibn Abbas, and al-Hasan, and al-Hussein, and al-Ash’ath.”

Source: Abu Abdullah Muhammed bin Muslim bin Qutaybah al-Dinawari, Al-Imamah wal-Siyasah (The Imamate and Politics), ed. Dr. Ali Shiri, vol. 1 (Beirut: Dar al-Adwaa al-Haqq), p. 210 (d. 276 AH).

You can research the current controversy surrounding this work yourself. Many scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah have authenticated this book as the work of al-Dinawari. Some scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah have shown disappointment that he spoke about these matters concerning the Companions.

It used to be that many Salafis and Wahhabis would create a huge fuss over this attribution. However, now that the Umayyad Sunnis are in town, they have put their hand over the mouths of the others and told them to quiet down. They see in this work an angle they can utilize to their benefit.

From the Abbasid Sunni (majority Sunni) position, this is not a good look. Ali is said to specifically be cursing Mu’awiyah and Amr and a host of others. That just cannot be, because we need to show the world a highly edited version of past events. Shi’is love this work because it shows Ali cursing Mu’awiyah and Amr. Ironically, the Umayyad Sunnis love it for the same reason that the Shi’is do! Not that they like or approve of the cursing of Mu’awiyah and Amr — no.

Read the text again. It shows Ali as the initiator of such a practice!

This reached Mu’awiyah, so when Ali cursed [them]… “He (Mu’awiyah) would curse Ali, and Ibn Abbas, and…

So when we come to the following hadith, in which Mu’awiyah asks Amir b. Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas why he didn’t curse Abu Turab (Ali), the Umayyad Sunnis will smile and say, “Of course! He is only responding in kind to the curses directed towards him!”

This hadith is found in full here:

https://sunnah.com/muslim:2404d

In the middle of all the sectarian fighting going on, someone had the idea to release a film on the fitna itself!

In this particular moving scene, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to imagine what goes on in the head of some people. The Umayyad Sunnis see themselves as the people of truth. Ali and his supporters are the Kharijites who assassinated Uthman ibn Affan unjustly. So replace Mu’awiyah with Syria, and replace the assassination of Uthman with images of widows and children crying for justice.

Ali and his supporters are seen as the protagonists. Today they could be Iran, or even the Abbasid Sunnis with their perceived esoteric doctrines and love of Ali’s bloodline.

We could be mistaken (someone please correct us), but for dramatic effect we believe the video below has ʿAqīl ibn Abī Ṭālib — who is the full elder brother of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib — and ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, the son of Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, or ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ, flanking Mu’awiyah. Both Ali’s brother and Umar’s son fought against Ali.

However, do you know what this @Abu_Sufyan33 or whoever put the Arabic text in the beginning say?

They say this is the fourth commander of the faithful. Mu’awiyah! When it shows Imam Ali do you know what it says? Imam ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib the leader of the Khawarij!

The text in the above clip is translated below:

“We seek nearness to Allah through this war. By Allah, we are not fighting except those who wronged Uthman, and Allah does not love the wrongdoers!!! These people killed their Caliph unjustly and aggressively! They killed the Caliph of the Messenger of Allah, Uthman bin Affan! And they command us not to fight so are you pleased with that?” — Mu’awiyah as depicted in the film.

“Indeed, this day is the day of distinction between truth and falsehood. Those who fight us today reject the pledge of allegiance! They understand [only] wealth and power as the greatest! So will you leave the soldiers of falsehood to rise over you today?” — ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib as depicted in the film.

“O killers of Uthman, if you come out to us, we will fight you to the exclusion of the rest of the Muslims! Come out, O killers! O Allah, bring out the killers! How could you, Ali?! Allah is the Greatest!!! Allah is the Greatest!!! Allah is the Greatest!!! Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest!!! Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest!!! Allah is the Greatest.” — Mu’awiyah as depicted in the film.

Then, of course, the moving nasheed:

Allah’s blessings upon Sham (Syria) through the Banu Umayyah,
They swept away the filth of the tyrants, so it became green and radiant.
When soldiers from the land of Idlib came to it,
They chanted “Allah is the Greatest,” fearing not death.
They blocked its liberation and let all mankind know,
We have returned to Damascus with pride after defeating the arrogant.
They chanted “Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest,” fearing not death.
They took the enemies by surprise at dawn when they attacked fiercely.
They conquered Aleppo [Shahba] at noon, then called out to mankind.
Immediately they found the march, and headed for the land of wine [referring to the Homs/Hama region].
They conquered Hama at night, they conquered Hama at night, then called out, “O my enemy.”
They conquered Hama at night, then called out, “O my enemy.”
They conquered it, then marched on to prostrate in Al-Khalidiya.
They marched towards Sham, marched towards Sham, marched towards Sham,
And they returned it to Umayyad rule, and the era of the regime ended.
So it became free, the era of the regime ended, so it became free.
Allah’s blessings upon Sham through the Banu Umayyah,
Like eagles sweeping away the filth of the tyrants, so it became green and radiant.

May Allah Forgive the Ummah.

May Allah Guide the Ummah.

The so called ‘Mahdi’ is a fabrication by the Hashimite Priest.

“And from the people, there are those who will purchase a baseless narratives with which to mislead from the path of Allah without knowledge, and to make it a mockery. These will have a humiliating retribution.” (Qur’an 31:6)

﷽

“The Myth of the Mahdi” Is among the clearest evidence of the falsehood of the hadiths about the Mahdi and the falsehood of the appearance of his character at the end of time, and that it is a purely Hashimite fabrication.

Did you know, dear reader, that every branch of the Banu Hashim has its own special Mahdi!? The Abbasids—branch of Al-Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib ibn Hashim: They claimed that the Mahdi is the caliph Muhammed ibn Abdullah, Abu Ja’far al-Mansur.

The Alawites—branch of Ali ibn Abi Talib ibn Abdul Muttalib ibn Hashim: The Hasanids—branch of Al-Hasan ibn Ali: They claimed that the Mahdi is Muhammed ibn Abdullah, known as Al-Nafs al-Zakiyya.

The Husaynids—branch of Al-Husayn ibn Ali: They claimed that the Mahdi is Muhammed ibn Al-Hasan al-Askari, hidden in the cellar.

The Hanafis (Ibn al-Hanafiyyah)—branch of Muhammed ibn Ali: They claimed that Abdullah ibn Muhammed ibn Ali, Abu Hashim, is the Mahdi and that he has gone into occultation and will return.

The Ja’fari Talibids—branch of Ja’far ibn Abi Talib: They claimed that Abdullah ibn Muawiyah ibn Abdullah ibn Ja’far is the Mahdi and that he has gone into occultation and will return.

The figure of the Mahdi has been used as a political and theological tool by various factions within the Banu Hashim (the Prophet’s clan) to legitimize their own claims to leadership.

Let’s break down the evidence we’ve presented.

The Political Utility of the Mahdi

Our central argument—that the Mahdi is a “Hashimite priestly fabrication”—aligns with the scholarly view that messianic figures often emerge in times of political crisis or succession disputes. In early Islam, the idea of a restorer of justice (the Mahdi) was particularly useful for:

  • Legitimizing a new caliph: Claiming that a ruler is the Mahdi gave him divine sanction.
  • Explaining a failed revolt: Claiming that a rebel leader was the Mahdi but went into occultation (ghayba) instead of dying defeated allowed followers to maintain hope and political pressure.
  • Challenging an existing caliph: Asserting that the true Mahdi is hidden and will return delegitimized the current ruler.

Examples: A Survey of Hashimite Mahdis

We’ve listed several factions, each with its own Mahdi. Let’s verify and expand slightly:

Branch of Banu HashimClaimed MahdiKey Detail
AbbasidsMuhammed ibn Abdullah (Abu Ja’far al-Mansur, the second Abbasid caliph)He was proclaimed Mahdi by some early Abbasid propagandists to rally support against the Umayyads. Later Abbasid caliphs like al-Mahdi (r. 775–785) even took the title.
HasanidsMuhammed ibn Abdullah al-Nafs al-Zakiyya (“The Pure Soul”)He led a major revolt against the Abbasids in 762 CE. After his death in battle, some followers refused to accept his death and said he would return as the Mahdi.
Husaynids (Twelver Shia)Muhammed ibn al-Hasan al-Askari (the 12th Imam)Entered occultation in 874 CE as a child; expected to return as the Mahdi. This became the mainstream Twelver doctrine. The “cellar” (sardab) in Samarra is a pilgrimage site.
Hanafis (from Ibn al-Hanafiyyah)Abu Hashim (Abdullah ibn Muhammed)After Ibn al-Hanafiyyah’s death, his son Abu Hashim was considered by the Kaysanite Shia to be the Mahdi who would return.
Ja’fari TalibidsAbdullah ibn Muawiyah ibn Abdullah ibn Ja’farA Zaydi-aligned figure who revolted in the 8th century. His followers claimed he was the Mahdi and had gone into occultation.

The Problem This Poses for Traditional Understandings.

If the Mahdi were a genuine, unambiguous prophecy from the Blessed Prophet Muhammad (saw), you would expect:

  • One consistent figure across all Hashimite branches.
  • Hadiths clearly dating to the Prophet’s lifetime with a single chain (isnad) accepted by all.
  • No need for post-facto “occultations” to explain historical failures.

Instead, what we see is:

  • Multiple, contradictory Mahdis emerging after political defeats (e.g., after the deaths of al-Nafs al-Zakiyya, Abu Hashim, and al-Askari).
  • Hadiths about the Mahdi appearing in Sunni and Shia collections only from the late 7th century onward (e.g., in the Musnad of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, d. 855 CE), not in the earliest surviving hadith works like the Musnad Al-Imam Ar-Rabee’ (Al-Jami’ Al-Sahih), the Muwatta of Malik (d. 795 CE), Bukhari and Muslim– showing the tradition developed over time.
  • The name “Muhammed ibn Abdullah” – suspiciously generic and matching several real historical claimants.
  • If Allah or the Prophet(saw)wanted to send a clear sign, why would the Mahdi be indistinguishable from a common political tool?

Thus, the “myth of the Mahdi” is less a prophecy and more a projection of political hopes onto a flexible, retroactively-created tradition.

What happens is that people who have more knowledge than ordinary people will come to them with a list and try and overwhelm them with a mountain of evidence. But a pile of dust, even if it reaches the sky, is still but a pile of dust.

For example:

Names of the Imams who recorded the hadiths and reports concerning the Mahdi in their books:

  1. Abu Dawud in his Sunan
  2. Al-Tirmidhi in his Jami’
  3. Ibn Majah in his Sunan
  4. Ibn Abi Shaybah in Al-Musannaf
  5. Ahmad (ibn Hanbal) in his Musnad
  6. Al-Harith ibn Abi Usamah in his Musnad
  7. Al-Bazzar in his Musnad
  8. Ibn Hibban in his Sahih
  9. Al-Hafiz Abu Nu’aym in Kitab al-Mahdi and in Al-Hilyah
  10. Al-Tabari in Al-Kabir, Al-Awsat, and Al-Saghir
  11. Al-Daraqutni in Al-Afrad
  12. Abu Ya’la al-Mawsili in his Musnad
  13. Al-Barudi in Ma’rifat al-Sahabah
  14. Al-Khatib in Talkhis al-Mutashabih and in Al-Muttafaq wal-Muftariq
  15. Ibn ‘Asakir in his Tarikh
  16. Ibn Mandah in Tarikh Asbahan
  17. Tamam al-Razi in his Fawa’id
  18. Ibn Jarir in Tahdhib al-Athar
  19. Abu Bakr ibn al-Muqri’ in his Mu’jam
  20. Abu ‘Amr al-Dani in his Sunan

It all looks very impressive at first. Then, when the masters of Hadith science look at the broken chains and reveal the critiques of the narrators to us, they reveal that what we see before us is dust and dust and more dust.

Implications for the current geopolitical situation of Iran, Iraq and Hezbollah.

The followers of Muhammed ibn al-Hasan are becoming disillusioned. How many possible confrontation scenarios must unfold before Muhammed ibn al-Hasan manifest as the promised Mahdi? 

What is interesting is that while there is much discussion of Sunni -Shi’i unity in light of the present conflict, most likely many rival Shi’i groups (The Nizari Ismaili, the Zaydi), among others, would benefit a great deal from a weakening of this particular stand of Shi’ism. The fact that its fate is so tied into the coming of a Mahdi is ultimately its own undoing. Likely, as the years progress, followers of this strand become Sunni, Atheist, or join other Shi’i strands like the Ismaili or Zaydi or even join any number of charismatic cults.

Concluding thoughts.

  • The existence of multiple Mahdis from the same clan (Banu Hashim) strongly suggests factional fabrication.
  • The timing (after deaths or defeats) is textbook myth-making.
  • The contradictions undermine claims of a single, divinely-preserved prophecy.
  • The Mahdi was invented to serve Hashimite political needs, not revealed by Allah.

Sunni-Shi’i sectarian/political point scoring over Palestine.

“O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion – Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, powerful against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allah and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allah ; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing. (Qur’an 5:54)

“And thus We set some wrongdoers on some others because of what they used to commit” (Qur’an 6:129)

﷽ 

Seeing Sunni-Shi’i sectarian /political point scoring over Palestine is actually kind of sick and disturbing.

We wanted to be happy about the Houthis than we realized. Wait a minute. Palestine has been suffering even before Oct 7th.

Why the rocket attacks now?

Do those attacks really benefit Palestine as much as they help Iran? Does it really present some united front for Palestine as much as it helps Iran send a message to the United States?


When will Iran/Turkey send troops to help Palestine? Well, you see there is a conflict going on between Turkey/Azerbaijan on one side and Armenia/Iran are going to need those troops for when it turns into a hot war between the two.

We have Shi’i majority Iran who are allied with Christian majority Armenia and Christian majority Russia against their own brothers, Shi’i Azerbaijan.


Then we have Shi’a Azerbaijan, which directly gives oil to the Zionists.

Every time there is a flare-up against Iran, look at who shows up. Surprise! Hezbollah!

Iran needs that proxy militia for when the real geopolitical conflict comes between Iran/Saudi or Saudi/US/Zionist. 

Can’t be spending those soldiers’ lives on the freedom of Palestine now, can we?

Hezbollah really ruined their image by allying with Bashar Al Assad.

To be fair, that whole situation was murky.

You had the al Nusra Front, which claimed to have split from Al-Qaeda. You had ISIS. You had Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led coalition—formerly Al Nusra Front, and the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) and the U.S. backed Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

This does not at all justify the culpability of the Iranian government and Hezbollah for the crimes committed against the Sunni in that nation anymore than it justifies the culpability of Qatar or U.A.E. or Saudi Arabia in any support they gave towards Sunni extremists and the crimes committed towards the Shi’i there.

Let us not forget about Sudan, where we have Saudi Arabia, who supports the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, while the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the primary patron and supporter of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

“O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians-they are guardians of each other. Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. (Qur’an 5:51).

We cannot quote the above ayat when it is convenient to do so against Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar and Bahrain and then forget the ayat the moment Iran sides with Christian Armenia against Shi’i majority Azerbaijan or seeks aid from Christian majority Russia.

If we are honest and consistent, there is probably no Muslim country that has not violated the above ayat in some shape or form.

What can we do?

First and foremost, pray! We make du’a for the Ummah. Especially in Ramadan.

Take every country that has a Muslim majority and target where they can assist and help the oppressed and where they can harm and hurt the oppressors.

We could start with places like the Sunni majority United Arab Emirates, and the Sunni majority Saudi Arabia asking them to not recognize the rogue terrorist state. To mention from the minbar and during the Friday prayers the suffering of our brothers and sisters. We can ask the Shi’i majority Azerbaijan not to supply oil to the Zionists.

Point scoring and sectarian point scoring at this time is no bueno.

Who do we support in the ongoing clashes between the Shi’i in Iraq? (Sadrist -Khomeinist)

After the 2003 US-led invasion, the Sadrist Mahdi Army and Iran-backed militias like the Badr Brigades were ostensibly allied. However, tensions over Iran’s growing influence erupted into open fighting. A key moment was the August 2007 clashes in Karbala, where fighting between the Mahdi Army and Badr Brigades killed 50 Shia pilgrims.

Escalation and Fragmentation: By 2006, factions that were more loyal to Iran than to Sadr, such as Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq (AAH), broke away from the Mahdi Army . These “Special Groups” continued to fight, targeting both US forces and Sadrists, solidifying the split between the nationalist and pro-Iran camps.

Recent Confrontations: The rivalry remains a central feature of Iraqi politics. In August 2022, following Sadr’s electoral success, huge battles broke out in Baghdad between the Sadrists and Iran-backed militias, shutting down the headquarters of AAH and Badr in several areas. Clashes continued into September 2022 in Basra. As recently as April 2023, Iraqi forces had to intervene to prevent all-out fighting between the sides in Baghdad.

Even more recently, with the assassination of Khamenei, the Grand Ayatollah Sistani, himself represented by his office, and the broader religious establishment in Najaf, expressed condolences but did not issue a call for holy war or urge Iraqis to fight for Iran. Their focus remains on the interests of Iraq and preventing their country from becoming a battleground.

What can you do for Palestine?

Continue to do whatever you are doing now.

Do not vote for politicians that have strong pro-Zionist stances. Continue to raise awareness. Continue to boycott products that support the Zionists. Continue to attend protests and pro-awareness demonstrations. By any means that you can send support (that is when they allow it to get through). Continue to write to the heads of state in the Middle East, as a citizen and voice your anger and frustration at what is happening. Put pressure on all Muslim majority countries not to support the Zionist entity with economic trade and/or recognition at all.

Remember Islam is NOT an anti-semetic religion. We do not hate Jewish people.

“O believers! Stand firm for Allah and bear true testimony. Do not let the hatred of a people lead you to injustice. Be just! That is closer to righteousness. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what you do.” (Qur’an 5:8)

“And thus We set some wrongdoers on some others because of what they used to commit” (Qur’an 6:129)

This verse can be used against ANYONE in the Middle East involved in doing injustice. Allah (swt) uses some zalim to punish other zalim.

Remember the Shi’i in Iran and throughout the Middle East are extremely vulnerable. They are in a state of major shock.

They lost the Yamani and the Khorasani while waiting for the Sufyani. They are in a state of shock. Many are feeling disillusioned, and so we should have empathy for them.

Likewise, many Sunnis feel very disillusioned with their own leadership. This could be the beginning of something wonderful for the Muslim Ummah.


Don’t get behind countries. As if there are good guys and bad guys. Ask Allah (swt) to support the Muslims wherever they may be. Ask Allah (swt) to support the believers wherever they may be.

“Surely, Allah does not change the condition of a people unless they change themselves. When Allah intends evil for a people, there is no way to turn it back, and for them there is no patron other than Him.” (Qur’an 13:11)

Whenever Allah (swt) opens any ideas or means to support them insh’Allah pursue that avenue as well! Above all else, remember them, remember the Rohingya, the Uigurs, the people of Congo and all oppressed people on this Earth. Remember them in your prayers and especially in Ramadan.

“Beware of a trial that will not only affect the wrongdoers among you. And know that Allah is severe in punishment.” (Qur’an 8:25)

Thoughts on the war on Iran and how Iran may break into several states.

“The believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers. And be mindful of Allah so you may be shown mercy.” (Qur’an 49:10)


﷽

“The Prophet (saw) said: The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone asked: Will that be because of our small numbers at that time? He replied: No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and last enervation into your hearts. Someone asked: What is wahn (enervation). Messenger of Allah (saw): He replied: Love of the world and dislike of death.”

Source: https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4297

We take the love of the world to mean all things related to the dunya. Chief among them is nationalism. The most effective divider of people. Raising one’s flag and songs above the brotherhood of Islam.

With the B-52 stratofortress now carpet bombing Iran, it is very clear that the Zionist entity and the Former United States feel confident that they own the skies over Iran. Their objective now is to continue to degrade the Iranian military. Having completely destroyed its navy capabilities and airforce. Iran has an unspecified number of missiles and drones. How long will they last? Every time they launch a volley of missiles, this lights up on radar and allows the Former United States and the Zionist entity to pinpoint their location and neutralize them.

Now our brothers and sisters in Iran and the Iranian people will experience the ‘freedom’ that these regimes present. Because of the successful volley of missiles Iran had managed to land on Zionist-occupied Palestine, this certainly incensed the Zionist leadership. “Burn it all to the ground!” You can imagine them saying to the Former United States. There may even be thought of using tactical nuclear weapons. Allah forbid!

May Allah have mercy on our brothers and sisters in Iran, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, The Congo and all oppressed people all over the world! Amin.

The loss of lives, the destruction of people’s homes. Masjids and museums alike. Achievements in art and architecture. The idea is to destroy anything beautiful the Iranian people and their ancestors worked so hard to build.

It is even quite possible that the Zionists and the Former United States allowed a number of missiles to hit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and the U.A.E. as a way to say to them: “Imagine if that had been a nuclear weapon.” It is an excellent way to instill fear and ensure the continued dependence of those nations upon the Former United States and the Zionist entity.

We will present to you a map of Iran. We will take a look at the 31 provinces of Iran. We will be looking at the major ethnic groups and how the former United States and the Zionists will be taking every opportunity to sow division and discord. Unfortunately, we will also have to mention how some Muslim majority states will take advantage of the situation for various reasons.

The first major point is that Iran is the only majority Shi’i nation that is a geopolitical force in the whole region. Once its power is broken, the following is likely to happen. Shi’i geopolitical power is greatly diminished in the entire region.

The Zaydi Houthis will likely be isolated and crushed. Without the support of Iran, this is likely to happen. Hezbollah in Lebannon will likely be isolated and crushed. The centre of gravity for Shi’i Islam will no doubt shift to Iraq. Najaf will rise in importance depending upon what happens to Qom.


Unfortunately, it has to be said that many Sunni Muslims will be relieved by this if they’re not outright in a state of glee. In particular, the people and government of Syria as well as the United Arab Emirates are likely to feel a great deal of relief. Saudi Arabia as well, yet they will watch anxiously as events unfold. If a secular Iran rises that is supported and aided by the former United States and the Zionists, then Saudi Arabia becomes less relevant in the region.

This sets the stage for the coming Sunni civil war (insh’Allah for another article).


The Islamic Republic of Iran is currently comprised of 31 states or provinces. So now we will give a break-down of those provinces and states and see how the former United States and the Zionists may try and break them apart. This is speculation on behalf of our team. You are encouraged to do your own research investigation and conclusions.

The Azeris.

The areas in red are majority Azeri. They are a Turkic ethnic group who are majority Jafari 12er Shi’i. It is likely that Azerbaijan and its allies Turkey and the Zionist State may assist them in taking these territories.

    Translation:

    Representing nearly 30 million Azerbaijani Turks living in Iran, the South Azerbaijan Coordination Platform has addressed an official appeal to President Aliyev of Azerbaijan: ———— Dear Mr. President, As a result of the bombing of civilian infrastructure and residential areas in South Azerbaijan, innocent civilians are losing their lives. Women, children, and families are under serious threat. The humanitarian situation in the region is steadily worsening. At the same time, reports that certain armed Kurdish groups are attempting to move to establish control over Urmia and surrounding areas are deeply concerning. Such attempts place the Azerbaijani population in a multidimensional security threat and increase the risk of ethnic confrontation in the region. Our people do not want to experience another Karabakh tragedy in Urmia. The fate of none of our cities should end with occupation, destruction, or forced displacement. Dear Mr. President, Your international standing and your relations with regional actors, including the State of Israel, provide an important opportunity to influence the current situation through diplomatic means. We believe that, as always, the security of the Azerbaijani people and the protection of national interests remain your highest priority. We respectfully request that you undertake effective and urgent initiatives at the international level to defend our compatriots in South Azerbaijan and to prevent the bombing of the civilian population. Timely action can help prevent a larger catastrophe and the spread of terror in the region. We hope that the Azerbaijani state will stand by its compatriots and take the necessary steps to ensure peace and security. With deep respect, Supreme Council South Azerbaijan Coordination Platform Tabriz – South Azerbaijan

    Hamadan, Qavin and Tehran all have heavy Azeri populations. But they are evenly split with the Persians. So this may depend upon how greedy Azerbaijan and its allies Turkey and the Zionist entity want to be.

    The Kurdish Factor. The areas coloured in lavender are outright majority Kurdish.

    Three provinces have Kurdish populations: llam, Kermanshah and the aptly named Kurdistan.

    Kurdistan itself is a Sunni majority following the Shafi’i school. Whereas Kermanshah is the largest Kurdish-speaking city in Iran. Along with Llam, they are both Shi’i Kurds. The Kurdish resistance is a mixed bag of those who simply want autonomy and recognition of their culture and identity to those who want an independent country. They run the spectrum of left-leaning Marxists to deeply devoted practicing Muslims.

    Khuzestan. The above are coloured in yellow. The majority ethnic groups are Arabs and Lurs. Khuzestan is a place to watch as it has Iran’s largest oil fields and therefore is a prize in any post-Iran breakup.

    This area is key because of the “Ahvaz Sunni Resistance”: The Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz (ASMLA).

    The Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz (ASMLA) . It is an ethnically Arab, predominantly Sunni separatist group .

    Historical Background and Grievances.

    The roots of the conflict are deep. Before 1925, the region was known as “Arabistan” and enjoyed a degree of autonomy . This ended when Reza Shah Pahlavi brought it under firm central government control, a move many Arabs saw as an “annexation” . The new government also implemented “Persianization” policies, suppressing the Arabic language and local customs.

    Economic Marginalization: Despite Khuzestan producing a huge portion of Iran’s oil wealth (around 80-90% of onshore reserves), the local Arab population suffers from disproportionately high poverty rates, unemployment, and lack of development . The province has poor infrastructure, and the city of Ahvaz has been ranked as one of the most polluted in the world.

    The ASMLA was established in 1999 with the ultimate goal of creating an independent state for Arabs in Khuzestan, which they call “Ahwaz“.

    • Activities: The group has an armed wing, the “Mohiuddin Al Nasser Martyrs Brigade,” and has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks on security forces and oil pipelines over the years

    This Sunni resistance group is most likely armed by Saudi Arabia and other gulf states. Might we see another GCC country in the near future?

    The Lurs. The areas coloured in light blue have a majority Lur ethnic population. Lorestan
    Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad, with Boyer Ahmad being the Lur homeland. It is hard to say if they would want their own homeland or would want to remain in Persia proper. No doubt, they figure in the equation when Khuzestan and the oil fields are brought into the equation.

    The Baluchi

    The provinces, coloured in dark orange and khaki brown, represent where they are a majority or a strong second ethnic presence. Sistan and Baluchistan and South Khorasan. The Baluchi are very strong Sunni Muslims. Mostly of the Hanafi school of jurisprudence.

    Where does this get interesting?

    The area that Iran borders with Pakistan is called Balochistan. Where Baluchi are the majority ethnic group. Unless anyone forgot, on the 16th of January 2024, Iran conducted a series of missile strikes in Pakistan. They claimed they were targeting Baloch separatist group Jaish ul-Adi in the Pakistani province of Balochistan. Pakistan in turn targeted the Balochistan Liberation Army and the Balochistan Liberation Front.

    Many say there is a big ideological split between the aims and objectives of Baluchi in Iran and Pakistan. In Iran, because they were a minority, their adherence to Sunnism was a matter of preservation. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise. Whereas the independence aspirations in Pakistan are marked mostly by left-leaning and Marxist ideology.

    Time will tell if Pakistan is headed for troubled waters.

    Gilaks and the Turkomen. Regions are represented by the pink and brown colours. There is no immediate idea on where they land. Do Turkey and Azerbaijan try to carve out a northern corridor of Iran to connect the Turkic nations together? Who knows..

    Persians. Persia proper. The area in the dark blue colour could represent a new Iran or a new Persia proper. South Khorasan may be split between the Persian and Baluchi people. Allah knows best.

    Last satanic play by the Former United Statse and the Zionist entity before the complete break-up of Iran?

    This satanic idea in reality means they would plan to strike the al Aqsa Masjid and then blame Iran!

    Well, there is one play that has been spoken of in the open.

    When all is said and done. Will the Zionist attack the desalination plants in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman and then blame Iran?

    Guess who comes to the rescue with water? That’s right! The Zionist entity to further endear the people of the region to them.

    May Allah have abundant mercy upon the Muslims of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, U.A.E., Oman and Saudi Arabia.

    Iran did what they could.

    Turkey and Saudi Arabia prepare yourselves. You are likely next.

    May Allah Forgive the Ummah.

    May Allah Guide the Ummah.

    3,000 Shi’a Mahdi’s in Iran!

    “Today those who disbelieve have lost all hope of (damaging) your faith. So, do not fear them, and fear Me. Today, I have perfected your religion for you, and have completed My blessing upon you, and chosen Islam as Dīn (religion and a way of life) for you. But whoever is compelled by extreme hunger, having no inclination towards sin, then Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.” (Qur’an 5:3)

    ﷽ 

    “O.K. Settle down, settle down.” We are going to go about this in a very orderly manner. Which one of you is the Mahdi? Simply raise your hand!”

    Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/3000-iranians-claim-to-be-the-madhi-2013-4

    “EARLIER this year Iran’s authorities arrested a score of men who, in separate incidents, claimed to be the Mahdi, a sacred figure of Shia Islam, who was “hidden” by God just over a millennium ago and will return some time to conquer evil on earth.”

    “A website based in Qom, Iran’s holiest city, deemed the men “deviants”, “fortune-tellers” and “petty criminals”, who were exploiting credulous Iranians for alms during the Persian new-year holiday, which fell in mid-March.”

    “Many of the fake messiahs were picked up by security men in the courtyard to the mosque in Jamkaran, a village near Qom, whose reputation as the place of the awaited Mahdi’s advent has been popularized nationwide by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. When he took office in 2005 he gave the mosque $10m.”

    “Iran’s economic doldrums may have helped to cause this surge in people claiming to be mankind’s saviour—and in women saying they were the Mahdi’s wife. “In an open atmosphere where people could criticise the government they would not believe these people,” says an ex-seminarian in Tehran, the capital, noting that most Iranians still get all of their news from state television and state-owned or -sanctioned newspapers.”

    “Last year a seminary expert, Mehdi Ghafari, said that more than 3,000 fake Mahdis were in prison. Mahdi-complexes are common, says a Tehran psychiatrist. “Every month we get someone coming in, convinced he is the Mahdi,” she says. “Once a man was saying such outrageous things and talking about himself in the third person that I couldn’t help laughing. He got angry and told me I had ‘bad hijab’ and was disrespecting the ‘Imam of Time’,” as the Mahdi is known.”

    “The most famous case was that of Ayatollah Boroujerdi, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2007 for—among other things—claiming he was the Mahdi. Like many influential “false” messiahs, he was forced to recant on state television, confessing that he had been against the Islamic Republic’s core tenets.”

    “Mr Ahmadinejad has called his administration “the government of the hidden imam”. Last month he told a batch of new Iranian ambassadors to consider themselves “envoys of the Mahdi”. After his first speech at the UN in 2005, a video circulated showing Mr Ahmadinejad telling a leading Iranian cleric that world leaders had been enchanted, during his oration, by a halo around his head that had been put there by the Mahdi himself.”

    Prima-Qur’an Comments:

    We have no idea where they keep all these 3000 Mahdis, but could you imagine if they were all in the same prison or same facility? Surely that would be volatile.

    The Omani Empire

    “My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.” (Qur’an 20:14)

    ﷽ 

    This entry is to share a brief over view about the territory that was once under the Omani Empire and which countries they would be considered part of today.

    Also is an interesting bit of information about the the three longest lasting Muslim empires/dynasties.

    The Omani Empire extended over part of what is today Iran-Bandar Abbas, U.A.E, Pakistan -Balochistan, Yemen, Comoros , Saudi Arabia-pecifically the region of Al-Hasa (or Al-Ahsa Oasis, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique. Madagascar, Djibouti,

    Which are the top 3 longest lasting Muslim empires/dynasties in terms of longevity & stability?

    1. 1299-1922 Ottoman/Sunni/Hanafi = 623 years

    2. 750-1258 Abbasid/Sunni/Hanafi = 508 years

    3. 1154-1624 Nabhani/Ibadi = 470 years

    We would like to add here a brief yet very insightful and helpful message. This additional information is accredited to ‘The servant of Allah’ and surely his reward is with his Lord. May Allah (swt) bless him!

    A small comment about Omani history

    1- The map of the Omani empire that you see here which is supposedly at the time of the Sultan Saeed Bin Sultan…but how accurate is it? Because we know that The Sultan ruled parts of the East African coast as he even lived there. However, did he rule all the colored land? The answer is definitely no. He had different degrees of influence in different areas, but in east Africa, he mostly ruled Zanzibar and its surroundings, like Mumbasa, Dar Al-Salam and Pempa. As for Iran, Oman actually didn’t rule the south coast, rather there was an agreement that Oman basically rented the port of Bandar Abbas, (which is still impressive) However, not as impressive as the map shows it to be.We also don’t think there was Omani sovereignty in Madagascar, Nor in Somalia just influence in trade. Yet, there was some control of trade routes to the African interior.

    We should say that after the Imam Ahmed Bin Saeed, Oman was ruled by a monarchy all the way to this present day. Even though yes the rulers where Ibadi, they didn’t rule in the Ibadi way. This is especially true after the British colonized Oman, as they fought against the idea of an Islamic Ibadi state in the interior. Similarly for the Nabhani state, they were just a monarchy. Oman wasn’t even stable or flourishing, it was in chaos and it wasn’t really Islamic at all. They were in constant rivalry with Imams, like Imam Mohammed Bin Isma’il Al-Haderi, which was able to establish an Imamate that ended the first Nabhani era in the year 1500 AD / 906 AH then after his death the second Nabhani era began(1556 AD/964 AH), which then lasted for less than 100 years until the Portuguese invasion.

    So what’s our point here?

    1- Omani doesn’t equal Ibadi

    2- History is not as simple as it looks

    3- Ibadis could have done more in the past

    4- If we want to be proud, we should look at the Omani Imams like:(Al-Julanda Bin Mas’ood, Al-Salt Bin Malik, Naser Bin Murshid, Mohammed Bin Abdullah Al-Khalil and All the others Imams that carried the Banner of Islam and Ibadism in the proper way).

    May Allah Guide the Ummah.

    May Allah Forgive the Ummah.
