As Salam Alaikum
Recently a bit of a fan page was set up for an american named yasir qadhi. However the content was non Islamic, rather anti Islamic. He even lied upon the mushrikin of Makka to make takfir against Muslims and potentially Islam.
This is a beneficial topic because we are defending Islam against Takfir. Maintaining the Honour of the Believers who preceded us And learning Islam with a sincere intention, In Sha Allah
video transcript is as follows, he is lying about Makka mushrikin in order to align them with Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah, and Islam:
[warning this is false information]
“They actually believe in the same God that we believe, they believed in Allah. You see they never depicted Allah as an idol
they made idols of al-lat, al-uzza, mannat, of hubbal, all of these beings but they never made an idol of Allah, there was no idol called Allah.
because they knew Allah could not be represented by an idol and they knew Allah was their Creator, and their Originator and their Sustainer. Allah says in the Quran if you were to ask them who created you, they would say Allah created us. If you were to ask them who sends the rain from the heavens they would say Allah. If you were to ask them who supplies your food, your rizq, they would say Allah. The Quran says if you were to ask them who is The Lord of the Heavens and the Earth, they would say Allah
and this is interesting because their paganism is not like the paganism of modern religions if you were to ask them who was their god they would say krishna budha or something, no these are groups who say Allah is our God. and Allah our Creator, and Allah is our sustainer, and yet they are not Muslims. and we don’t consider them to be Muslim. even though they say there is no Creator other then Allah
and there is no Sustainer other then Allah, and there is no Lord other then Allah. So when the Prophet Sa sa sallam [SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam] is coming to them, He is not coming to them with a new God. He is not coming with a new deity, they know it is Allah who created them. Yet why are they not Muslim, well because they are worshipping idols. why are they worshipping idols when they know Allah created them. The Quran tells us Surah Zumar verse 3 Allah says if you were to ask them why are you worshipping these beings they would say ma naAAbuduhum illa liyuqarriboona ila Allahi zulfa, We are only worshipping these beings so that they can bring us closer to Allah.
Notice the ultimate goal is Allah. These beings are stepping stones, they are intermediaries, they’re simply tools we get to the grand deity and that is Allah. Surah Younus verse 18 Allah says they worship besides Allah these beings that are useless and they say these beings are our intercessors between us and Allah, our intermediaries, you see we’re too sinful, too unholy, these beings are holy beings, so we go through them to get to the holiest of holy and that is Allah. and notice here, now this is very important Their shirk is not in rejecting Allah, not in saying laat and uzza created me, not in saying laat an uzza will resurrect me, they firmly believed Allah is the creator, sustainor, nurisher, everything. by name Allah not rama krishna budha, Allah yet they are worshipping other then Allah,they say we’re too sinful, we need to use intermediaries to get to Allah, now this is important because unfortunately we have Muslims in our times, who fall prey to the exact same mentality. Word for word letter for letter, we’re sinful people, change al lat to wali, change uzza to shaykhh, change mannat to pir, and we get the exact same concept, we’re too sinful, we cant worship Allah directly, He is to holy, so we have to go through the saint, or they will say we have go through the Prophet [SallAllahu Alaihi wa sallam], we worship this being, we make prayer to this being, we sacrifice to this being, we invoke the blessings of this being because this being has a high status with Allah He will plead our case to Allah, and all of us who have family back home we know this is unfortunately common among the muslims around the world. this mentality is exactly the mentality as the jahiliya arabs, it is exactly the same and this is compounded by the fact that if somebody says how dare you compare a pir to al lat, how do you compare my shaykh to al-lat, the response is what is al-lat except a pir and a shaykh, what is al-lat. do you know the origin of al-lat, al-lat was a, al-lat was the main idol of Taif…”. .

In the first video I watched of him, he said “..to approach Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala people [humanity at large] would go to the Anbiya, Peace be upon Them, and the First of whom would say I am not worthy go to the next Prophet, next Prophet would say something similar I am not worthy and so on to the next PROPHET!..”
I needed to get this written down and thread started. I will do my best to explain his lies, later. However lets have a simple example of his lie right here and now:
he quotes common Muslims around the world and says we say “we worship this being, we make prayer to this being, we sacrifice to this being,..”
This is an obvious lie because no Muslims say such things, never mind it being common around the world
& Peace vroom,
