Abdur-Rahman Dimashqiah needs no introduction in the world, as he is a very well known and leading scholar of the Wahhabiyyah who now resides in England, he is originally from Lebanon, and is the leading teacher at ‘Al-Maghrib Institute’ of Green Lane ‘Masjid’ in Birmingham, England.

Those of the members from England will realise that he is the very same Abdur-Rahman Dimashqiah who had a debate with a young scholar of Ahlus-Sunnah (Shaykh Yaseen) in Birmingham some years ago on the Topic of Bid’ah, during the debate he made a lot of blunders, and made up narrations, and also misquoted many works in a bid to get himself out of the mess that he created himself, after the debate on Bid’ah, he promised Shaykh Asrar Rashid حفظه الله for a debate on Tawassul, but after that he backed out (Typical).

The following is a video of the very same Abdur-Rahman Dimashqiah, in which he accepts he was a h*m*s*x*al, and had feelings towards men, after being k*cked out of Al-Azhar University in Egypt :/...

Just after the news of the passing of Shaykh Muhammad al-Makki Ibrahim Niass رحمه الله, we have received news of the passing of Shaykh Muhammad al-Hasan al-Khadim رحمه الله of Taysir, in Mauritania 🇲🇷

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّ إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

“Indeed, we belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return.”

Born in Trarza in 1938, he spent his entire life studying and teaching, becoming one of the greatest scholars the Ummah has ever seen. Over 50 years ago he dug a well in the desert, called it al-Taysir, and around it grew the village of students there today.

He wrote over a hundred books across almost every Islamic science, among them commentaries on Imam al-Suyuti’s Alfiyya in usul al-hadith and his nadhm of Jam’ al-Jawami’, on Qurrat al-Absar and Ibn ‘Ashir.

He was a descendant of the clan of the prolific Mauritanian scholar Muhammad Mawlud, who composed a number of works in verse, the most well-known of which in the West is the Matharat al-Qulub, Purification of the Heart. But his legacy includes the Kafaf al-Mubtadi, a versified compendium on Maliki Fiqh which is famed for containing many issues absent even from Khalil, and other short works on spirituality and Adab, like the Maharim al-Lisqn and Birr al-Walidayn.

The recently passed Shaykh was the living master of the works of his illustrious grand uncle, and had prepared print editions with copious notes and commentary, preserving the works and making them accessible to new generations and millions hitherto unfamiliar with them.

He was like a diligent father to his students, a great Shaykh of the Tariqah and a living proof of the benefit of the institution and a man who commanded the respect of every man who commanded respect in Mauritanian society, one of last bastions of the supreme exaltation of knowledge of our civilization.

May Allah سبحانه وتعالى immerse him in His mercy and make the outpouring of Divine grace, the Fayd, through his life’s efforts flow for all the rest of the days of this world.

Algeria in uproar as Saudi official calls H*m*s a ‘terrorist’ movement (2017)

Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Algeria, Sami Bin Abdullah Al-Saleh, angers Algerians by labelling H*m*s as a terrorist organisation.

Speaking in an interview with Ennahar television, Al-Saleh was asked if H*m*s is a terrorist organisation to which he replied,
“It’s now categorised… if it seeks to cause and create trouble then of course.”

Nasser Hamdadouche, head of the parliamentary bloc of the Movement for Social Peace, criticised the Ambassador’s comments.

“The Saudi ambassador should respect the Algerian people’s sense of the central issue, a doctrinal issue, to the extent of fulfilling the late President Houari Boumediene’s statement that Algeria is with P*lestine.”

We do not want the Algerian state to be involved in these shameful positions towards the P*lestinian cause, nor to engage in this attempt to be open to Israel.

Hamdadouche called on the Saudi ambassador to “withdraw his hostile statement towards the P*lestinian resistance and not to use his diplomatic position in Algeria to promote non-Arab and Islamic trends.”

He also called on the Algerian foreign ministry “to call this ambassador, and alert him to the seriousness of these statements on the land of Algeria, statements and positions are not welcome.”

“We expect the Algerian diplomat to summon the ambassador to inform him of the position of Algeria and demand his respect to the Algerian people and their position in support of the liberation of P*lestine and Al-Aqsa,” Ahmed Al-Dan, secretary-general of the National Construction Movement, said.

The ambassador is expected to take into consideration the general sentiment of the Algerian people. He’s free on where his country stands, but diplomacy has its traditions that should not be overlooked.

Algerian activists took to social media to criticise Al-Saleh’s comments using the hashtag “of course resistance.”

“Algeria is with P*lestine and with resistance. You cannot say the opposite in Algeria,” activist Yemse Meneghi Yahyaoui wrote online.

Algerian blogger Abdel Hamid Kharbashi suggested inviting Hamas representatives to Algeria “to see how much the Algerian people love terrorism.”

H*m*s crushes ‘Salafi’ uprising’

On August 14, 2009

Sheikh Abdul Latif Musa was the leader of the ‘Salafist’ terrorist group Jund al-Ansar Allah and Imam of the Ibn Taymiyyah centre.
On 14 August 2009, he proclaimed an “I*lamic E*irate” in the P*lestinian Territories and was k*l*e* the following day 15 August, when H*m*s forces stormed his headquarters and residence.

* Mayhem in G*z*

After hours of fighting Friday, H*m*s’ security forces were able to crush an uprising by ‘Salafi’ gunmen associated with A*-Q*eda, in the wake of a provocative speech by a local Imam critical of G*z*’s current rulers.

At least 24 people were k*l*e* in the clashes and more than 130 were reportedly wounded.

Earlier, the leader of the radical ‘Salafi’ group Jund al-Ansar Allah in G*z*, Sheikh Abdul Latif Musa, slammed H*m*s and declared the Strip an “I*lamic E*irate” and pledged allegiance to A*-Q*eda leader O*ama B*n L*den.

H*m*s forces responded to his sermon by surrounding his Ibn Taymiyyah centre complex and attacking it.

Following fierce gunfights, eyewitnesses reported that H*m*s was able to take over most rebel strongholds.
Friday night, H*m*s forces reportedly b*m*e* the last stronghold, where Imam Musa and his men were apparently barricaded.

According to one report, the commander of the ‘Salafi’ faction’s military wing, Abu-Abdullah al-Suri, may have been k*l*e* in the attack.

* ‘Ideological deterioration’

Unconfirmed reports said a Musa loyalist b*ew himself up within a group of H*m*s men near the Ibn Taymiyyah centre where the radical cleric spoke earlier.
According to other reports, H*m*s members, some of them masked, were pursuing more ‘Salafi’ loyalists in the Strip.

H*m*s Spokesman Sami Abu-Zuhari addressed the fierce clashes in Rafah, characterizing the views presented by the ‘Salafi’ faction as “ideological deterioration.”

“This group has no connection to any outside organization,” he said.

“No element or group has the authority to take the law into its own hands, and those who do not respect that will be dealt with by the security establishment.”

In the fighting that ensued, 24 people (including Sheikh Abdul Latif Musa), were k*l*e* and over 130 were wounded.

In 2011, ‘Salafist’ terrorists were actively involved in the kidnapping and k*l*i*g of Italian peace activist Vittorio Arrigoni in H*m*s-controlled G*z* Strip.

Afghan Mawlawi Khodadad Saleh and his warning against Wahhabi terror groups such as S*t*nic S*ate – K*orasan P*ovince (I*KP) (2018)

Mawlawi Khodadad Saleh strongly opposed Wahhabism and Salafism, viewing its extremist interpretations of Islam as dangerous. As the long-standing and highly influential head of the Ulama Council in Afghanistan’s western region based in Herat, Mawlawi Khodadad Saleh was a prominent Hanafi Sunni cleric known for championing moderation and Islamic unity.

Before his passing in 2023, his stance on Wahhabism and religious extremism was defined by warning against their plots.

Scholars in Herat noted that Mawlawi Khodadad Saleh explicitly warned against the rise of Wahhabi-Salafi networks in Afghanistan. He and his contemporaries viewed these movements as a “road-opener for t*kfiri j*hadists” who threatened the country’s security and traditional religious fabric.

As a traditional Sunni scholar, he actively pushed back against radical, fiery rhetoric propagated by hardline Wahhabi clerics who sought to replace Afghanistan’s legacy of moderate Hanafi jurisprudence and local Sufi traditions with austere, foreign-funded ideologies.

Wahhabi Terror Against Sunni Hanafi Islam of Tatarstan and attack on Grand M***i Ilduz Faizov which left Deputy of Religious Affairs Shaykh Valliulla Yaqupov M*rtyred - July 19, 2012.󠁲󠁵󠁲

“My First Year As Chief M***i”–Chief M***i of Tatarstan Ilduz Faizov

By The Kazan Herald

Following controversy over the new appointment of an Imam for Kazan’s Kul Sharif Mosque, the world’s largest printed Koran’s being located in Tatarstan, and the arguments over Dashi Namdakov’s statue in Bolgar, there has been a high focus on Islamic issues in the local press as of late.
This article, translated from Russian by Maxim Edwards, originally appeared in Argumenty i Fakty Kazan on 13 April.

Terrorists, The Guardian at Bolgar, and the dismissal of the Imam of Kul Sharif. Chief M***i of Tatarstan Ilduz Faizov sums up the events of the last year, addressing the faithful after completing his first year in the post of M***i of Tatarstan.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful.

A year has passed since I was elected M***i of the Republic of Tatarstan.
In this short yet intense period, the Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of Tatarstan was able to implement many of the programs we announced during the spring of 2011.
Yet more needs to be done.
Today we are setting a much more ambitious task, to strengthen the promotion of our traditional Tatar Islamic values within the Hanafi school of Islam, to quell all manifestations of extremism wherever they may be, to protect the interests of Muslims, and to help train highly qualified Imams and religious personnel.

The freedom that was suddenly acquired during the 1990s led to a positive societal change due to new freedom of religion, and with it, the construction of over a thousand mosques and religious schools. Yet we must remember the negative consequences.
Thousands of missionaries from various countries rushed into the country and started imposing their styles of Islam, destroying local traditions and a nationally coordinated system of religious rites.
As a result, in Russia there even emerged groups of radical Muslims who were willing to slaughter the civilian population in order to achieve their aims.
The discovery and subsequent expulsion of terrorists in the Nurlat region and an explosion in Vysokaya Gora are clear proof of the extent of this in Tatarstan, our Republic.
I also must mention the events which took place in early April this year relating to the Kul Sharif Mosque.
As usual, the appointment of a new imam was turned into a massive spectacle, the main role played by representatives of the Wahabbi movement and Hizb-ut-Tahrir, together with groups of nationalists and separatists.
All these groups united against the Hanafi school of Islam, which is considered traditional in Tatarstan.
Apparently the influence of the Arab spring and orange revolutions have not passed unnoticed, finding supporters even here in the center of Russia.

I understand that we cannot change the situation overnight.
This needs more work, more effort and more resolve.
More than one thousand imams leading our religious communities support me in this. Because we work for the pleasure of Allah and peace in our Tatarstan, so that all our children may live in harmony, grow, and learn together.

Turning to more of last year’s events, it’s simply impossible to list all the activities we were engaged in due to their sheer number, so I shall focus only on the most important.

First, the Spiritual Administration of Muslims in Tatarstan has been bought into conformity with the centralized religious organization required by the Constitution and other legislation of the Russian Federation.
This basis was supported by the Koran, Sunnah, and the Madhab of Abu Hanifa. In this regard, these changes were reported and approved by the Chief Justice of the Republic of Tatarstan, along with the changes to the relevant documents of the organization.

Second, there have been many positive changes in the educational system.
In September, training of Imams in the very heart of Kazan began, the benefits of which Imams across the country are only beginning to appreciate.
Centralized educational programs that meet the traditional Hanafi school of thought were introduced, including new plans for courses in Madrassahs and a system of Muslim summer camps.
I presided over the Congress of Madrassah Teachers of Tatarstan to review and see the results of these changes.
For the first time in our history, the Muslim Spiritual Directorate has been able to seek funding for Islamic schools. Now, our Madrassahs need not worry about how to pay their utility bills, and teachers have begun to receive a stable salary. Before now we were only able to provide stable salaries for Qadis (Islamic judges) and Mukhtasibs (Judge’s assistants, Ombudsmen).

Hopefully, if such be the will of Allah, in the future we shall be able to resolve the issue entirely, providing for the wages of rural Imams.
We want to get the best from our teachers, and they deserve a good salary, which helps to attract and develop a top-notch quality of staff.
Last week, all Madrassahs began certification of teachers.
We were also able to restore the property of the Spiritual Directorate and issue a new certificate of ownership for it.
This is from the Waqf fund, which in the future will take care of all financial issues and the financial problems of Imams.
We were also involved in the creation of the Association of Muslim Businessmen, thanks to great initiative and for which I held an iftar (Ramadan feast).
This year we also plan to hold such an event, but on a much larger scale.
In addition, I want to refute the statements of some that the Committee for Halal Produce of our organization is defunct: Not only is it up and running, it’s developing very rapidly and the number of partners is growing day by day.

Another event that is impossible not to mention is that 2012 became the Year of the Koran.
In connection with the 225th anniversary of the first publication of a printed Koran in Russia, we have a planned set of celebrations and activities in each of the 45 districts of the Republic.
These events are thanks to the support of both non-governmental organizations and various government departments and agencies.
To date, we have held a lot of competitions of Koran recitals and in the near future round table discussions will be held on issues relating to the Holy Book. Recently, we saw the publication of the “Kazan Basmasi” edition of the Holy Koran, an edition of some 10,000 copies.

This book will also be available to Muslim prisoners serving sentences.
In conjunction with the Federal Penitentiary Service, Wahhabi literature has been removed from the territory of Mosques in their institutions and special libraries in penal colonies in Tatarstan have been set up for prisoners.

I would also like to note the increased interaction of the Federal Government with Muslims.
The Office of the President has created a new organizational body, the President’s Office for Co-operation with Religious Associations, which provides all possible assistance with solving current problems facing the Muslim Ummah today.

On social policy and philanthropy

Providing social assistance to the needy in our republic is the responsibility of the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Protection of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The Spiritual Directorate also contributes towards this.
The Muslim Spiritual Directorate took the April rehabilitation center for children with disabilities under its patronage, as well as helped to support children’s orphanages, old people’s homes, and targeted assistance in raising funds for operations for children with severe health problems.
Sending food parcels and helping to organize Ramadan iftars are also our remit.
Most of our charity fundraising events are held by the Zakat Charity Fund, which aids low-income families and others in need.

As for the Ak Bars sculpture in Bolgar…

Upon learning that this sculpture would be located in Bolgar near the historic mosque, I initiated a meeting with Mintimer Shaimiev where participants spent two hours explaining how this would be an insult to religious feelings. As a result of this long debate, it was decided to move the sculpture to the pier, and then even further away from those monuments connected to Islamic history. During our last meeting a week ago, the other M***is and I were able to convince Mintimer Shaimiev to give another name for this exhibit, as “The Guardian” simply cannot be an option. The only guardian, surely, is Allah.

Media and the fight against Wahhabism

Our job is difficult and necessary.
Under the cover of grandiose slogans, there is a movement to impose an alien ideology on Tatarstan’s Muslims.
We will educate the public more, as our main weapon is the word.
We are working harder than ever before to get the word out on the pages of newspapers and on websites.
Inshallah, next week will see the launch of a daily radio program, “The Muslim,” which will be broadcast across the whole Zakamskaya region.
We plan to open an FM frequency Islamic radio station by the end of the year to aid in our fight against extremism.

On Youth

In 2011, we developed a comprehensive Youth Policy.
During this last year, the “Altyn Orda” club was successfully founded with a summer camp in Bolgar.
I also helped in school projects where young people were attending training and master classes on religious issues.
We also co-operate with an inter-regional public organization, the Union of Muslim Youth, which introduced the availability of Halal food into primary schools in Tatarstan, of course with parental consent.
A regular festival of Muslim Youth and yet more summer camps are being planned in Bolgar.

Our future depends on bringing up our youth well.
They determine our success in life.
The first thing we need to know is how to motivate them, and in this regard we should turn to our respected Imams.
If they have a high status and are accorded the same respect as our ancestors did, we can improve the situation and create an environment for the emergence of a new Marjani, a new Bigiev, or a new Fakhretdinov.

M***i Ildus Hazrat Akhmatovich Faizov,
Chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Tatarstan
