Bilal Philips – My Writings General Issues of Faith

			So how are they come Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh
		

			writings in the early 21st century. Prior to leaving the UAE and moving to Qatar,
		

			I was
		

			under attack from extremist selfies led by Abu Khadijah in the UK, in Birmingham, Abu Khadija who
I'd known from early 90s,
		

			who I knew had not studied anywhere.
		

			His Quranic recitation was weak in shambles, his knowledge of Arabic was
		

			less than zero. But
		

			due to his
		

			being around the sheiks when they came to the UK, etc, their familiar face, he became trusted by
them, and he became the spokesman.
		

			And people started to look up to him as he took the stage and
		

			led the attack on all those who had preceded him in the Dawa
		

			inviting people to
		

			pure Islam
		

			Salah via
		

			whether a name or in concept, and now he became the whip. So he, after smashing, or damaging,
attacking, etc, a number of other speakers, he came around to me, and he started attacking me for
sitting with WPS and quanties and Giamatti, Islam is and because I had no belief
		

			in isolation.
		

			If I differed with people on certain issues, I could still sit with them. They're still Muslims,
they're still concerned about Islam, etc. So I didn't allow differences, to now isolate myself,
		

			you know, from the rest of Muslims. So this is what the extremist view held. If the person is of the
people of Buddha, they have been dying, they're different aspects of their belief or in their
practice or whatever, you should have nothing to do with them.
		

			If they come walking down the street, you should walk on the other side of this.
		

			You don't give Salaams to them.
		

			So, very extreme element, sadly enough it destroyed and decimated the ranks of those who were trying
to propagate
		

			correct Islam free from the cultural baggage which had
		

			corrupted it to a large degree amongst in the practice of Muslims from all over the world. So under
the attack of being not a true Salafi and so on. So
		

			I
		

			identify the book
		

			by Jamal Messiah Eman,
		

			general issues of faith,
		

			which had been put together by some of the leading students of from Jordan, leading students have
shared Nasr dinner with Bernie in which they had identified the big issues
		

			where people have deviated in large numbers, especially in modern times and provided the correct
response to those issues with the evidences etc.
		

			So basically, I agreed with everything that was in the book.
		

			So I said, people were questioning my Qaeda etc. You want to know what it is? Here is the book. I
translated it. I put my commentary on it and
		

			you want to attack you can attack that work
		

			where everything has been laid out. This book
		

			was printed in Daraa Fattah press
		

			before I left,
		

			among the last things which were printed there and reprinted
		

			and distributed.
		

			So, it represents my statement of faith how I
		

			believe regarding these major issues, you know, revolt against rulers, etc, etc
		

			which was on the rise at that time. So hamdulillah it has been distributed in Africa and Asia and
elsewhere and it represents till today, my Arcada in these specific issues, modern issues of
contention regarding the faith of Islam
