Although we have been careful in not going into directionless and worthless speculation, we have sincerely put our best into giving an unbiased and fair analysis based on traditions from the sahih (authentic) ahadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him), established research of accredited Islamic personalities and occasionally, noble verses from The Quran itself. We present this paper, and those after it InshaAllah, with good intentions for the awareness of masses, Muslims in particular. Utmost care has been put into citing proper references for reader lookup. Despite all this, we as humans are liable to error nonetheless and plead forgiveness from Allah and our readers wherever we might have erred unintentionally. Verily, Allah is the All-Watching and Knower of what we conceal in our hearts. We would also like to add that we absolutely do not endorse/support sectarianism.

A principled defence of the Arabs

Syed Usama Gilani Before starting, let me tell you that this particular article is not based on sectarian hatred. I have tried my best to understand the ahadith based on the events that we see in our daily lives around us. As mentioned in IIUs 1st report, there is no doubt on the fact that we are living in the End Times and most probably are going to experience events which have been called as Ilamaat-e-Kubra i.e. Great Signs before the Day of Judgment. It is usual that Major Signs appear only after a sufficient number of Warning Signs appear beforehand. During times of great affliction, our main duty is to turn to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) and try to save others if we feel something is going wrong around us or anywhere else in the globe. We can expect a series of wars in the coming months. Still, it is just my estimation and verily actual knowledge of what is yet to develop rests with Allah Alone. What I believe is that in the coming times, as mentioned in IIUs 1st report everyone would be fighting a different decentralized war. This would be the period of not just death and destruction but also of massive confusion, confused loyalties (for ordinary public and agents) and massive media deception; and this will be very crucial time for all of us no matter what regime we belong to. If we keep ourselves engaged with the Dajjali media, we will be deceived in a way that we will never be able to realize it. Propaganda war is the most successful weapon of Lucifer eating all of us except the ones who understand this and invoke protection from Allah Almighty. Coming to the point, have you seen people in online forums, groups and physical communities abusing Arabs? Surely you must have, and many of us become a part of it without knowing what we are doing and who is taking benefit from this all. For the past couple of years, a massive propaganda against Arabs especially those of Saudi Arabia has been started with a prewww.terminalx.org

planned agenda. As I have already told you, this is not only a war with weapons; infact this will also be a war with with the tongue which has been mentioned in a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As (R.A.) that The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There will be civil strife which will wipe out the Arabs, and their slain will go to Hell. During it, the tongue will be more severe than blows of the sword (Propaganda War). [Reference: Sunan Abu Dawud, Book # 30, hadith # 4252] Now in which category do you see yourself if you have ever been part of this Propaganda War? Usually, people make excuses to defend their abuse by saying that Arab rulers are Zionist agents and are completely Western slaves. True, some of them in the past and present might have been/are Western puppets but this is not a reason to abuse Arabs. What do you have to say about the rulers of all other Muslim countries? What about Pakistan? Why then, is there a massive propaganda only against Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and such Arab states? Is it only because Persia (modern day Iran) detests those states because of ideological opposition? Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) predicted in metaphorical language that there will be propaganda against Arabs and in this regard, very strong words have been used against those who will be part of that propaganda: Narrated by Salman Farsi (R.A.) that The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to me, Do not keep hatred for me otherwise you will be separated from your deen. I said, O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon you), how can I keep hatred for you when Allah gave/send us guidance through you? The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, If you hate Arabs you will be the one to hate me. [Reference: Musnad Ahmad, Vol # 9, hadith # 3689]

Now read the hadith quoted above again with open eyes and an unbiased heart and think, why did the Prophet (peace be upon him) say such words don't keep hatred for me? Did The Prophet (peace be upon him) have doubts on the sincerity of Salman Farsi (R.A.)? Absolutely not. In fact, The Prophet (peace be upon him) had briefed in metaphorical assertion that there will be hatred for Arabs from Persia (Iran) because Salman Farsi (R.A.) was a Persian by nationality and that was the reason The Prophet (peace be upon him) said such words to this particular companion. This is actually coming true and we can see it happening around us. Persia is current Iran and most of the propaganda against Arabs comes from Iran. Unfortunately, our non-Persian brothers are also becoming part of this dirty propaganda and keeping their faith on a high risk. I am not all defending Saudi rulers, neither do I adhere to the school of thought which is followed by Saudi clergymen; personally, I also feel they are not doing what they are supposed to do as being Custodians of the Two Holy Masjids. However, I will not spoil my tongue and curse the Arabs for what a few irresponsible black sheep do. In another hadith, it has been said: Ali (R.A.) narrated that The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, He who hates Arabs must be a lunatic. (Reference: Musnad Ahmad, Vol # 1, hadith # 580] This is really becoming a serious issue as I have seen many Sunni scholars like Imran N. Hosein who are brainwashing people against the Arabs in support of Iran (Persia) which is the root of propaganda war against Saudi Arabia and is engaged in activities which are bent on destabilizing the rulers of the country which also houses Hijaz (Makkah and Madinah). All of this is happening as part of a pre-planned game which is set to create a widespread mess in the form of the collapse of the Middle East. In the future, you will see a very dangerous war-like scenario between Saudi
www.terminalx.org

Arabia and Iran and all this hype is being created in order to put the masses in favour of Persia against the Arabs which is very disturbing. Muslims in both Iran and Saudi Arabia (Shiites and Sunnis) are being pitched against each other. In the coming times, sooner or later, you will see Sunni Muslims betraying Saudi Arabia when they will see Iran being presented as a Muslim Hero when the world will see a so-called Defeat of Zionism by Iran in the Persian Gulf and Iran might be getting a lot of applauses from various Muslim countries. That will be the time when Iran might push masses towards Arabia which will cause a regime collapse. Assassination of Saudi officials and high-ranking security personnel will, in the end, result in massive destruction: mutiny among tribes and large-scale killing of people in a great number as foretold in a hadith of The Prophet (peace be upon him): Shahr ibn Hawshab (R.A.) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stated: There will be a sound in Ramadan, a Mahmaha (murmuring) in Shawwal, and war among tribes (peoples) in ZulQidah and its sign will be that pilgrims will be robbed (looted). There will be a war with many people killed and blood will be shed in Mina (near Mecca), such that their blood flows on the Jamra (Stone of Satan at which pilgrims throw stones). [Reference: Abu Amru Uthman bin Saeed Ad-Dani's Kitab Al-Sunan Al-Waredah fi al-Fitan] This scenario is developing but only Allah Knows when it will take actual form. Our duty is to stay neutral and not involve ourselves in any propaganda which may put us in the Army of Dajjal at the end. I again humbly request my Muslim brothers and sisters, please keep yourself away from fitnah (affliction) and do not participate directly/indirectly in any Satanic trap. We are not responsible for the deeds of others, we will be answerable for our own deeds. Loving Arabs in any case will not harm you here or in the hereafter but hating Arabs surely can put your deeds on a high risk. So please, be mindful of what you choose. Do not betray the Arabs and do not be a part of the dirty game against them.

Usman (R.A.) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Whoever betrays the Arabs will not enter into my intercession and he shall not be destined for my love. [Reference: Musnad Ahmad, Vol # 1, hadith # 488] Our beloved Prophet and final Messenger of Allah, Mohammad (peace be upon him) was also an Arab from the Banu Hashim tribe. Therefore, let us make concerted efforts to focus on reform and correction of some of our misguided Arab brethren rather than insulting and cursing them. Surely those who love the Prophet (peace be upon him) will hold fast to the words spoken by his blessed tongue. May Allah help us to all to become good, steadfast Muslims. Aameen! Ending comment by Zaki Khalid: Dear Readers, the case above is exactly the reason why Pakistans military institutions have vowed to defend not only Islamic interests but also Arabs. Training Arab armies and sharing beneficial intelligence information with them is not only for geostrategic interests but especially keeping in light the ahadith presented above. The age-old accusation of getting Saudi petrodollars for Wahhabist expansion and militancy are simply extreme distortions of what actually takes place behind the scenes. Yes, many Arabs do create terrorism in Pakistan and fund miscreants but we are talking in general terms. We cannot generalize a whole community or nation based on the evil deeds committed by a few of its citizens. As I shared earlier on the TX page, a special contingent of SSG Commandos of Pakistan are stationed in and around Hijaz (Makkah and Madinah) for the protection of the sacred sites round the clock. Retired army officials still stand guard outside and within holy sanctuaries under various covers. Pakistans elite Green battalions (in absolute cover) are stationed by the thousands across the Gulf and Arab states. Should any major threat be lurking on the Arabs especially the region of Hijaz, almost 5000 officials can be mobilized on one call by a senior individual whose identity we can not disclose. Furthermore, if the entire Middle East/Afghanistan/Pakistan is under severe threat and should there be a war (Allah Forbid), more than 100,000 retired Pakistan Army personnel and retired airmen can be mobilized within ten

minutes, again on a single call of the individual we are referring to. There are black sheep, miscreants everywhere. But to be mindful of the words of The Prophet (peace be upon him) and protect his people (ordinary citizens) is not only an obligation but a responsibility of a state which came to being in the name of Islam and whose Armys slogan includes Jihad fee sabeelillah (Jihad in the Name of Allah). Hence, In the Name of Allah, actions are carried out. No matter how many odd, black sheep emerge from the Pakistan Army as bad examples, the fact remains that the strategic planners, the group of old guardians still taking the final decisions, rule the roost and this is why the Pakistani military today is the most disciplined and strengthened institution in the whole Muslim world. All praise is due to Allah for this great honor. I can write a booklet on this but many other things related to it are not meant to be disclosed, at least till the appropriate time.
