Book Release: Minhaji Fata Morgana

sounds more like a minhaji murtad.

 

I once got into an argument on social media with a local imam who posted the following on Facebook:

“...Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) not only allowed but asked the Christians of Najran to offer their Christian prayers in one of the holiest places of Islam, Masjid Nabawi Sharif in Madinah.”

In our back and forth, I presented to him the following hypothetical scenarios to demonstrate the confusion his position will create (he did not bother responding).


SCENARIO 1: Zayd is 11 years old and is in grade 6. He is a good Muslim and uses his lunch break to go to the masjid next door to his school to pray Zuhr salaah. His Christian friend John and Hindu friend Bala are impressed with Zayd's devotion to his religion and wish they had a nearby church and temple that they could visit respectively at lunch to perform their own religious prayers.

"Don't worry!" says Zayd. "You can come to my masjid and pray according to your traditions - holy cross and idols and all!"

"Are you sure?" ask John and Bala.

"Of course! Don't you know? My elders* taught me that the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam not only allowed but asked the Christians of Najran to offer their Christian prayers in one of the holiest places of Islam, Masjid Nabawi Sharif in Madina!"

Zayd, John and Bala show up at the masjid at lunch break the next day, holy cross and idols in tow.

Question: you are the masjid Imam - what do you do?

* Based on the absolute lie that the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam invited, permitted and/or asked disbelievers to worship according to their own tradition.


SCENARIO 2: Zayd is 25 years old and recently got married to a good Muslim girl. He tells his gay Christian colleague, John, that marriage is a blessing and is considered worship in Islam; and that his wedding ceremony was performed at his local Masjid. John is impressed and tells Zayd that marriage is considered worship as well in Christianity but he can't find a church that will perform the wedding ceremony for him and his boyfriend.

"Don't worry!" says Zayd. "You can have your wedding ceremony performed at my Masjid!"

"Are you sure?" asks John.

"Of course! Don't you know? My elders* taught me that the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam not only allowed but asked the Christians of Najran to offer their Christian prayers in one of the holiest places of Islam, Masjid Nabawi Sharif in Madina! Prayer is worship and like you said, so are marriage ceremonies!"

Zayd, his wife and families along with John, his boyfriend and their families show up at the masjid Sunday morning to perform the wedding ceremony.

Question: you are the masjid Imam - what do you do?

* Based on the absolute lie that the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam invited, permitted and/or asked disbelievers to worship according to their own tradition.


SCENARIO 3: Zayd is 11 years old and loves celebrating Eid ul Adha. He enjoys attending the congregational salaah, performing qurbani and distributing the meat. He tells his friend Steve about it. Steve is a Satanist, following the religion of Satanism. Steve tells Zayd they have a similar religious holiday in Satanism where they hold a congregational prayer, sacrifice pigs and then distribute the meat. But the local authorities won't allow Steve and his fellow Satanists celebrate this holiday as they are a persecuted minority.

"Don't worry!" says Zayd. "You can come to my masjid and celebrate your religious holiday - pigs and all!"

"Are you sure?" asks Steve.

"Of course! Don't you know? My elders* taught me that the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam not only allowed but asked the Christians of Najran to offer their Christian prayers in one of the holiest places of Islam, Masjid Nabawi Sharif in Madina!"

Zayd, Steve and Steve's fellow satanists show up to the masjid on the day of the Satanist holiday, pigs and butcher knives in tow.

Question: you are the masjid Imam - what do you do?

* Based on the absolute lie that the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam invited, permitted and/or asked disbelievers to worship according to their own tradition.


SCENARIO 4: Zayd is 25 years old with a great job but has odd co-workers at his company. One co-worker, named Bob, is Christian and is also a drag queen. Bob tells Zayd that he and his friends are a sub-sect within Christianity and are shunned by mainstream Christians. They're not allowed to attend church to perform their prayers.

"Don't worry!" says Zayd. "You can come to my masjid and pray according to your traditions - dressed as a drag queen and all!"

"Are you sure?" asks Bob.

"Of course! Don't you know? My elders* taught me that the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam not only allowed but asked the Christians of Najran to offer their Christian prayers in one of the holiest places of Islam, Masjid Nabawi Sharif in Madina!"

Zayd, Bob and Bob's fellow Christian drag queens show up the next day at the masjid in full makeup and women's clothes (not Zayd though of course, he's in traditional Muslim attire).

Question: you are the masjid Imam - what do you do?

* Based on the absolute lie that the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam invited, permitted and/or asked disbelievers to worship according to their own tradition.

I’m getting a “page not found” message on the Ridawi Press site when using all three of these links. So I went directly onto the Ridawi Press site, and located the book, but the download link there too is broken

(https://www.ridawipress.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Minhaji_Fata_Morgana.pdf)

the link had caps and the uploaded file was lowercase. the webserver being linux, an error is expected.

the size it is composed is a4. and you are asking for a5.

A4: 210 x 297 mm 8.3 x 11.7 in
A5: 148 x 210 mm 5.8 x 8.3 in

---
it was composed on a4 to accommodate tables and lengthy citations - and to allow anyone to print it on their home printer.
you can still print it on pdf and choose a5 as the paper size (it will scale down) but the type will be too small to be readable.

i have tried to compose this in a5, and the next version will be released in sha'Allah in a5. check your PM.

 

Has the book been formally printed yet by a publisher? If not by a publisher, have any brothers printed it themselves?

I am interested in printing the work as a booklet to pass on to a few people - size 5.5 x 8.5. My concern is that it seems the file is suited for a size 8.5 x 11 and won't print properly as a booklet.

Anyone with experience regarding this?

 

now are these all Kafir too ?

The first set of copies of "The Preamble to Faith" has just been printed earlier this week. It should be ready for distribution next week, Insha Allah.

 

I cannot wait for this and the 'Preamble to Faith' to be published and be available in bookshops and stalls at conferences. wa billahi tawfiq

Akhi Suleiman,

Do you have any further information about these guys:

http://acommonword.com/en/a-common-...itation-to-christians-to-pray-in-mosques.html

On that page (where they talk about the Prophet's "invitation" for christians to pray in the mosque) they do not mention Habibs Umar and Ali Jifri, but in that same Muslim-christian forum, Habibs Ali Jifri and Umar were members, as are Ali Gomaa and Abdullah bin Bayyah.

What is their CLEAR stance on this issue and what do the students of the Habaib think about this "common word" move?

 

Masha-Allah. A detailed and honest refutation of the mini Dajjaal. may Allah reward the author immensely.

Simultaneously, a detailed Fatwa of Kufr has been issued against Tahir padri regarding his recent Wembley "congregation". Written by Allama Mufti Kausar Hasan Rizwi of India. He is Khalifa of Huzoor Mufti Aazam Hind (RAA).
