[0:00]This is Asrar Rashid from Birmingham. If Abdullah Hashem is truthful in his claims, he will come out and debate and face me in public to a verbal debate, an intellectual debate and demonstrate all his points. Pass this message on to Abdullah Hashem regarding the veracity and truthfulness of whom he referred to as Abu Sadiq. If he is indeed Abu Sadiq and not Abu Al-Katheb, then he will accept a challenge to the debate. Why would we listen to him? Look at him. I mean, who is he? On what authority does he speak?
[0:39]I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. In the Name of Allah, the Abundantly Merciful, the Intensely Merciful. O Allah, send Your peace and prayers upon Mohammed and the Family of Mohammed, the Imams and the Mahdis. Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you. And upon you be the peace and blessings of Allah, my dear father. Inshallah you're doing well, mamadu. Allah, I'm doing well for all of you. Thank you. So you guys have approached me and you guys were very insistent on me responding to this Sheikh. His name is Sheikh Asrar, he's from Birmingham. I think he leads a local Masjid I guess congregation where he gives some Friday speeches and things of the sort. Um, he wrote this book about the end times and basically he's mentioned me in it. Um, in the category I guess of like false prophets and movements and things like this. And he's basically been talking about me a little bit, I think in one of the YouTube video lectures of his. You guys have pointed out that he's said a few things and and kind of like emphasized on, uh, you know, that I lead people astray through Shia Islam and and Shia Islam is is bad or something of the sort. So this guy, um, according to what's written online about him, uh, what you guys have pointed out to me, he, I don't know, I guess he drank poison in a debate with a Christian before or something of the sort. They call him the lion of the Ahl as-Sunnah. And uh, yeah, and basically he's, uh, you know, he doesn't like me for some reason. I'm not sure why or what it is that I did to him, but nonetheless, let's, um, uh, respond to him. This is a perfect example, I think of Muslim scholars, whom on the one hand, they sit on the platform of Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa-Alihi, and they speak in his religion and they can speak concerning his religion, right? And they write books and they give like, you know, they give glad tidings and and try to teach the people that there is this character that's going to come one day, his name is Imam Mahdi. But then whenever there's a call that comes out that calls the people towards Imam Mahdi, they rush to, uh, you know, make judgments really fast without kind of like, uh, trying to or attempting to verify, um, the nature of the claim, uh, or to even understand it. And they make horrible mistakes in terms of what they and he's made horrible mistakes in terms of what he's written in this book, especially, uh, concerning me and my history. A lot of it's false information, fake news. So, basically today we're going to respond to Sheikh Asrar. I'm going to introduce myself and tell him a little bit about my history and my beliefs, so that he can understand as well as his followers or whoever else that is watching. Um, this guy, he's a Sunni. He's, uh, he's from Ahl as-Sunnah. Um, I am also half Egyptian and I come from a Sunni background, meaning like my father's side of the family, my physical father's side of the family are Sunnis. And I came up very familiar with that upbringing. And that narrative that basically Islam is five pillars, and the companions loved Rasoolullah, peace be upon him and his family, and they, uh, they gave victory to him and uh, he passed away.
[3:56]And they basically focused on the story of Islam and the life of the Prophet and they say that afterwards, his four best friends became the rightly guided caliphs, starting with Abu Bakr and then Umar and then Uthman and then Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Alaihis Salam. Um, the, the, the thing about it is is that as time went on and I grew older, you know, and I began to research and read into my religion, because I was born like any other human being. I had no idea, uh, that I would be making the claims that I'm making today. I was just a person who was sincerely looking for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. My mother, uh, her family, they're all Christian. And, uh, and so I grew up kind of with these both of these, uh, backgrounds. Um, I was Muslim and and, uh, I don't know if I would call myself a Sunni Muslim, because I just considered myself to be a Muslim who was following the religion of Islam. As as time went on, I began to read into my religion and I found out some very horrible things which we never heard in any of the Masjids from the Sheikhs like these guys who who go on the pulpit and they preach to the people, they never talk about this stuff. And, uh, what I never heard from these Sheikhs were the fact that the Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, after he passes away, what happens is that, um, his daughter, Fatima Az-Zahra, she becomes very angry with Abu Bakr because, um, they take away from her, her land that the Prophet had left for her, Fadak. And, uh, there's also these incidents that took place where, uh, they basically raided the House of Fatima and, uh, they caused her to have a miscarriage.
[5:53]Um, uh, we do know from Sunni even sources that the, the, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, she was so dear to the Prophet because she was his only child. And the Prophet said that Fatima is a part of me, uh, whoever makes her angry has angered me and whoever angers me has angered Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and whoever angers Allah, the curse of Allah is is upon him, right? Like, like And we know that Fatima was very angry with Abu Bakr. She didn't talk to him. She refused to talk to him until she died and she died six months after the passing of of the Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Uh, we do know that the companions after the Prophet, um, they, uh, fought amongst one another, a series of very vicious and nasty wars, uh, began to take place after the, um, life of the Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, where all of these great companions that were with the Prophet during his life, uh, began to turn on one another and struggle and fight over power, right?
[7:00]And it kind of culminated in one of the worst battles and that was the Battle of the Camel, where basically you have on one side, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, who Alaihi Salam, who is the, the, the cousin of the Prophet, the first one who accepts Islam.
[7:18]He's the guy who the Prophet chooses, right? To marry his own daughter.
[7:33]Um, and and and the lineage of the Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, it continues through the children and the offspring of Ali Ibn Abi Talib and Fatima Zahra, Alaihi Salam. And so on one hand you have Ali Ibn Abi Talib and he's leading an army and on the other hand you have the wife of the Prophet Mohammed, you have Aisha going out on a camel and she is leading another huge army with half of the companions, uh, with her.
[8:05]And Aisha was the daughter of who? Of Abu Bakr, right? So you have like the, the family of the Prophet is feuding amongst, uh, one another. His wife is leading an army against his cousin, right? And and and and his grandkids. So that that's a real shocking thing that they they don't tell you. And thousands upon thousands of Muslims companions that these people considered to be holy were slaughtered and massacred and and died, you know. So, uh, the thing about it is is that is that, you know, you can't have two people that are upon truth, right? If you have people that are killing each other, um, you know, somebody's got to be upon truth and somebody's got to be upon, uh, falsehood, right? That's correct. Well, the Prophet Mohammed said that Ali is with the truth and the truth is with Ali Ibn Abi Talib, right? And and I began to look deeper into this schism, these fights. Why is it that the Muslims were fighting one another and I came to a very fascinating, uh, truth. It was shocking, it was very disturbing to me.
[9:16]Um, and and and and the fact is is that before Islam, right? Or during the beginning of Islam, the Prophet, when he first announced that he was a Prophet, there were people that were fighting against him, okay? And those people, which was mainly the household of Abu Sufyan. Um, you know, remember there was Abu Sufyan and there is, uh, there was who? There was the, uh, you know, the wife of Abu Sufyan, the enemy of Islam, as they call him, uh, Hind. And Abu Sufyan and Hind, they caused a lot of trouble for the Prophet. They really led like several armies and battles against the Prophet. Uh, they killed, they, they fought him in the Battle of Badr. They fought him in the Battle of Uhud. They killed Hamza. Hind was the, the liver eater, whatever they call her. And she basically like got Wahshi to murder Hamza and then she was eating his internal organ, uh, you know, like an animal in the middle of the field. She caused so much pain, uh, for the Prophet Mohammed. So you have like this family over here that are literally eating the guts and the insides, right? And and the raw flesh, the raw organs of the family of the Prophet Mohammed, his beloved uncle Hamza. Who is one of the greatest martyrs in all of Islam. And she's eating his organs. And this same family that had fought the Prophet and killed so many Muslims and caused so much pain, uh, for the Prophet Mohammed. This same family after the Prophet's death, right? Uh, so the Prophet, he finally, he finally succeeds in in defeating the Meccans and he enters into Mecca and then they proclaimed themselves to be Muslims. And then after the Prophet's death, it is the descendants, the house of Abu Sufyan, Muawiyah, right? And Yazid, who continue to fight the household of the Prophet.
[11:16]And what happens is that basically, uh, Muawiyah, the son of Abu Sufyan, after the Prophet's passing, he begins to proclaim himself as a leader.
[11:31]And he leads basically forces to fight the cousin of the Prophet Mohammed and the husband of his daughter in a war. Which results in the very end with the assassination of the fourth of the rightly guided caliphs, right? Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Alaihi Salam, who for Shia Muslims is the first of the 12 Imams. Muawiyah basically causes that a renegade named Abdur Rahman Ibn Muljam strikes him upon his head and kills him while he's in the state of prostration, uh, to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And then I found out that like the war continued. Muawiyah, he wanted to declare himself the Prince of all of the believers, right? After having committed such an atrocious act, and he felt like the House of Abu Sufyan had more of a right to rule over the Muslims than the House of the Prophet Mohammed. And so Muawiyah, after having Ali Ibn Abi Talib murdered, basically managed to push aside Al-Hassan, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, and prevent him from obtaining power. And basically what he did is he ruled instead and proclaimed himself as the king and the ruler over all of the Muslims and the guardian of Islam. So in this Sunni religion that he's upon, I mean, basically the enemies of this it's all reverse. It's like the, the, the opposite. The enemies of Islam are the guardians of Islam. And the household of the Prophet, um, you know, and his most beloved, uh, you know, people in the whole world are the enemies of Islam. I guess now and they're they're causing chaos. Um, and the son now of Muawiyah, right? Uh, he, he has also ambitions for being the successor of Muawiyah. So, so Muawiyah wants to place his son, Yazid in power. So what Muawiyah does is he basically pays the wife of Al-Hassan to poison him. And once he is killed and murdered and he passes away, um, basically Yazid, son of Muawiyah, um, begins to prepare himself for the ascension to the throne. And Imam Al-Hussein, Alaihi Salam, is murdered by Yazid, son of Muawiyah, in the famous Battle of Karbala, where he is decapitated him and his household and his family and his companions. And his head is placed on a spear and it's marched through town, marched in front of all of the Muslims through the lands of the Muslims, yeah? His family members are imprisoned and the household of the Prophet are pushed aside from power.
[14:30]In order for what? In order that the house of Abu Sufyan rule. It's crazy. It's ridiculous, really. It's ridiculous. So now the house of Abu Sufyan has on them the blood of Hamza, the blood of all of the first martyrs of Islam in the first two battles. They have on them the blood of, um, you know, Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib Alaihi Salam. They have on them the blood of Al-Hassan and the blood of Al-Hussein. They were responsible for killing all these people.
[15:04]And Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein, according to the narrations in Islam, according to what the Prophet said, these two are the masters of the youth of all of Paradise. Um, the Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that anybody who goes into Paradise, these two are their masters, right? So we know that Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein are going into Paradise. So I just don't understand how can, uh, Imam Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein go to Paradise and their killers also go to Paradise too. It doesn't make sense. The murderers of the grandchildren of the Prophet Mohammed are certainly not going to be in Paradise alongside with the family of the Prophet Mohammed, right? Absolutely not. You know, it's absolutely ridiculous, you know, the murderers of the family Mohammed and the Prophet Mohammed said that all ten leading things, the Book of Allah and my family. And here the Muslims are praising the murderers of his own family. It's nonsense. Exactly. So, these events that I discovered and read about in Islamic history, everybody can verify for themselves. lead me to kind of want to not, uh, just limit myself to reading the historical narrative from the side of the companions of the Prophet, right? Or the alleged companions of the Prophet or or, you know, the history writers, right? I didn't want to read, um, you know, from them anymore. I wanted to hear the other side. I wanted to hear what the family of Imam Al-Hussein had to say about their father, their grandfather, their brother, um, you know, being decapitated and his entire, the, the family of the Prophet being massacred. And that's what opened me up to Shia Islam, because Shia Islam is what? It's their Muslims. They believe in the prophet of the Prophet Mohammed, just like Sunnis do. Except that they don't take their religion from the companions of the Prophet. They take their religion from what the family of the Prophet said, right? And they believe that God had appointed these 12 leaders, these 12 Imams that were supposed to be the successors to the Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
[17:23]So, just like the Sunnis, they believe that there's these rightful successors to the Prophet Mohammed, which is Abu Bakr, his father-in-law, Umar Ibn Khattab, his other father-in-law, and then Uthman Ibn Affan, and then, uh, you know, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, uh, and then it goes now to the house of Abu Sufyan and the and the Banu Umayya. Uh, the Shia, they believe that, no, uh, it's not. These were all illegitimate usurpers of the caliphate and of the power. And and they had ulterior motives and they were actually hypocrites that were not even Muslim. And never ceases to surprise me how much these Sunni scholars defend really Abu Bakr and and Umar, the ones who really like killed us the Prophet and his family. Yeah, it's disgusting. It really is. You know. And, uh, yeah, so I look into their narrations, the narrations of Shia Islam, the narrations of the household of the Prophet Mohammed. Um, and what do I find in there? I find that there are many Hadith, uh, that are in there that are talking about the scholars of the end times.
[18:57]And when we, when we look to see what is this Fitna that is worse than the Fitna of the Dajjal, it says that it's the Fitna of the non-working scholars, right? These illegitimate scholars that speak in the name of Islam, but they really have no knowledge and they have no authority to speak in his name. Um, they are basically the continuation, the descendants of the successors of the Banu Umayya that jumped on the pulpit of the Prophet after his passing. And the Prophet had a bad dream about that one night, where he saw, uh, you know, he woke up basically like sweating and and and very disturbed. And he saw a dream where he saw these apes that were jumping, these monkeys that were jumping around on his pulpit, uh, pretending, uh, basically to be him, taking over his, uh, his minbar, talking to the Muslims. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala revealed to him the meaning of this dream, according to the narrations. And the dream, the meaning of the dream is that basically, the cursed tree in the Quran, the Banu Umayya that they were going to usurp his position, uh, after, after him. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala revealed to him the meaning of this dream, according to the narrations. And the dream, the meaning of the dream is that basically, the cursed tree in the Quran, the Banu Umayya that they were going to usurp his position, uh, after, after him.
[19:48]And another narrations said that nobody proclaims this matter except for its truthful owner, or else Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala cuts off their life.
