Publisher's Synopsis
Islam is the third of three Abrahamic faiths, after Judaism and Christianity. The Old Testament reflects the Torah while the New Testament reflects the Injeel. Both are referred to regularly in the Book of Allah. The Book of Allah is the Final Testament. It reiterates the teachings of the Torah and the Injeel. The Book of Allah also rectifies different misperceptions regarding the preceding scriptures. Allah did not leave His creatures without guidance. Allah brings His servants from darkness to light, from ignorance to knowledge. Allah teaches the difference between truth and falsehood. He teaches the difference between right and wrong. This knowledge is required to live well. Religion was utilised for political purposes. Hawkish rulers used Islam to arouse and marshal the umma to struggle to realize a particular perspective. The agenda was defeat of non-Muslim lands in the epic struggle between good and evil, between the realm of peace (dar al-Islam) and the realm of unbelief (dar al-kufr). Unlawful wars of aggression were justified by clerics and waged by militant rulers under the rubric of Islam, thereby disguising their un-Islamic character. In doing this, clerics threw the Book of Allah behind their backs and, in a truly Faustian bargain, "sold" the signs of Allah for a miserable price. Is the Islam practiced today the Islam practiced at the time of the prophet? Islamism is militant Islam. It is a counterfeit Islam. They peddle tainted perspectives, akin to stimulants. There are two variants: traditionalism and Islamism. Both are sectarian. The first promotes passive resignation to fate. The second is activist. The first keeps the population resigned to its fate internally, while the second animates foreign policies. Traditionalism peddles a perspective based on tradition, adhering to the ways of the forefathers. Key in this perspective is predestination. This perspective acts as a sedative. It renders its followers passive and resigned to their "fate." This perspective was promoted by traditionists. Islamists peddle a rousing perspective, seeking reform, the establishment of a heaven on earth known as the caliphate. The Muslim Brotherhood is an expression of Islamism. The Muslim Brotherhood upholds the killing of persons who leave Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood does this in defiance of the teaching of the Book of Allah. For the Book of Allah teaches that "there is no compulsion in religion." Regrettably, the Muslim Brotherhood traces its roots to Nazism. The Muslim Brotherhood was designated as a "terrorist organization" by Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates in 2014. The Muslim Brotherhood justify terrorism as a way to the caliphate. They despise capitalism and prefer egalitarianism. They blame capitalism for the evils of usury. They fail to differentiate between profit and usury. Their anti-rationalism renders them unable to protect the knowledge of the Book of Allah from a political pressures. The Muslim Brotherhood is akin to a criminal syndicate. Persons that challenged the extreme parts of the sharia were murdered or discharged from their posts. A few left their countries for fear of reprisals by extremists. The International Union of Muslim Scholars, Yusuf al-Qaradawi's brainchild, was also designated a terrorist organization. The corruption of the knowledge of revelation and the transformation of the religion of peace into a religion of war required the repression of reason. The repression of reason was not merely intellectual. Mass murder occurred with the slaughter of five thousand philosophers by Musa al-Hadi in 786, during the Inquisition or mihna, launched by al-Mahdi against the rationalists in 780. This was a Reign of Terror, performed under the banner of Islam but in defiance of the teachings of its teachings. It preceded the European Reign of Terror by more than a millennium.
