All the praise is due to Allah we praise Him we seek His assistance, we seek His forgiveness, we seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and the evil of our actions. Whomsoever Allah guides, then none can misguide and whomsoever Allah misguides then none can guide. I bear witness that there is no God [in truth], except Allah alone without any partners and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger, may the peace and blessings be upon him, his family and his companions and whoever follows them with sincerity to the Day of Judgment, and may there be peace and much salutations upon them all. As for what follows: O noble reader, this read before you was a compilation by Shaikh Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Ibn Husain Saghir Najmi in Arabic with an introduction from Allaamah Shaikh Ahmad Ibn Yahya An- Najmi and translated into the English language for the English reader; so that they may benefit from this most important topic regarding the matters of "The Origin of Present Day Terrorism” which we have entitled due to its contents "The Origin of Present Day Terrorism Al-Ihkwaan Al-Muslimun [i.e., The Muslim Brotherhood]” because they are the offspring of the Khawaarij and the Takfiri ideologies which we shall become more aware of Insha’Allah. This book expounds on their creed and give a brief, but insightful look at Sayyid Qutub one of the modern day Takfiri and exposes him in his famous work entitled "In the Shades of the Qur'an” where he professes that every Muslim in this day in time is a Kufaar [a disbeliever], this makes the Muslim’s blood and property lawful to those who have such a belief which is of the Khawaarij and the Takfiri as well as their other ancestor Hasan Al-Banna, so this belief allows a Muslim to be killed for a major sin and leaves no room for repentance and takes him out of the fold of Islam according to their creed. The Origin of Present Day Terrorism The Muslim Brotherhood This corrupt mentality stems way back before the latter of the two and its home base in these times are located in Egypt where you will find many anti- government movements that call out to disobeying the Muslim rulers and governments. One of the main parties that call to this is Ihkwaan Al-Muslimeen [the Muslim Brotherhood] which the compiler will expound on from their own statements. Take heed O noble reader! That this affair does not stop at the shores of die Middle East, for verily the Ihkwaani ideology has reached the shores of the west and arc growing rapidly and we must educate ourselves and those communities that we live in to make a clear distinction about our position [Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah], towards these false ideologies of the permissibility of over throwing the Muslim ruler, terrorism, hijacking, and bombings and the government and the likes. Many non-Muslims as well as Muslims do not have an inkling regarding these affairs and need to be educated regarding these matters, because they must understand that these sects of the Khawaariji and Takfiri has more hatred for the Muslims than the non-Muslims and we must learn from the Qur’an and Prophetic Sunnah about the ways and ideologies that are not in accordance with the true teachings of Islam. We must start a dialogue with the Muslim elders who were raised on these teachings of Sayyid Qutub as well as the youth in our time who have been exposed to the teachings and rhetoric of Usamah Bin Laden, Anwar Awlaki and their likes. We should also consider an open house at our local Masaajid [Mosques], Dawah centers etc... for the non-Muslims to ask questions and provide them with materials to clear up some misconceptions in regards to extremism, terrorism and our position towards these horrific acts. Also, we should make it open to the news reporters like talk radio, newspaper, television and any other forms of media in an effort to get this information out and to bring clarity and to clear up false accusations in regards to Islam and the Muslims in general. 5 Also, in light of the current affairs that have taken place in Egypt which caused the resignation of President Mubarak by the Egyptian people which was broadcasted all over the media via television, internet and newspapers outlets which gave a lopsided prospective about the permissibility of demonstration against the government which they call Democracy. The fact of the matter is this is a westernize colonial ideology that has crept its way into the Muslims lands and the hearts of the Muslim youths in particular, you find them reading books of Karl Marx the fonder of Marxism, Communism and any other types of Isms on their college campuses. These ideologies have spread throughout the Muslim lands like wildfire you find the youth in Yemen, Libya, Bahrain, and Tunisia protesting calling for a so called freedom which they have label as Democracy, but they arc not aware of the danger of this deceptive ideology that goes against the Islamic Shariah [law] which has been legislated by Almighty Allah. The youth are the main target to bring this plot into play and Allah’s aid is sought. The Muslim youth must be taught that safety and security is with Allah the Almighty and that freedom is granted by Him alone and that they must put their trust in Him seeking aid from Him and not from any man made ideology. We ask Allah to guide the Muslim rulers and the Ummah to what is pleasing to Him and that we cling to His Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger in all of our affairs Ameen. We ask that you make Du’aa for all those who were involved in this effort and that Allah accepts it from us and may you find it to be of some benefit and perfection is with Allah. Glory is to Allah! And praise is to You [Allah] and there is no God worthy of worship in truth except You and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon His last and final Messenger Muhammad Ibn Abdillaah Al-Quraishi and his family and his companions and all those who follow him to the Day of account. Al-Hujjah Publication The Origin of Present Day Terrorism The Muslim Brotherhood Presentation 01 Ihe Honorable Sheikh Ahmad Ibn Yahya An-Najmi A U praise is due to Allah and may there be an abundant amount \ of peace and salutation of Allah upon the Messenger of Allah X Juhis family and his companions. And to proceed: Sheikh Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Husain Najmi an Instructor in the Ministry of Religious Education and Nurturing, the Salafi Sheikh, the caller to Allah on the path of Ahlus-Sunnah wal- Jamaa'ah has indeed presented to me the letter which he wrote and named “The Origin of Present Day Terrorism” he clarified in this letter — may Allah grant him success - that the origin of terrorism are the Hizbiyyoon in general and the party of Ihkwaan Al- Muslimeen [the Muslim Brotherhood] and what so ever erupted from it. Likewise, he clarified with authentic transmission quoted from its text that Sayyid Qutub the Takfiri leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, the one who spread the Takfiri mentality; that is based on rebelling against the rulers after declaring the blasphemy of the Islamic Ummah in general without excluding anyone, but his party. He transmitted some of the statement of Sayyid Qutub from his book “In the Shade of the Qur'an” that indicate that he was an accessory in the Takfiri mentality and in urging the people to rebel against the ruler. Then he mentioned some other quotations by some of the leaders of Ikhwaan, like Hassan Al-Banna and other than him from among those who have affirmed this mentality, who mentioned it to incite the people to cling to it and are proud of it from what indicates that the methodology of the Ikhwan is the origin of this [deviated] mentality. 7 Likewise, he transmitted some of the statements of Qardawi that indicate that he is on the path of Sayyid Qutub and then he refuted his statements. It is narrated from some of the Salaf that they said: “No one innovates into an innovation, except that he will legalize his sword.” Meaning all of them consider it permissible to rebel against the ruler and fighting them. And this lead to putting the people in a state of anxiety and spreading fear amongst them and lack of peace in the society and rebelling against the rulers. The Author has indeed done well in this letter by pointing out to the origin of the present-day terrorism; therefore May Allah the Almighty reward him, bless him and multiply the likes of him and success is with Allah. Written by Sheikh Ahmad Ibn Yahya An-Najmi The Origin of Present Day Terrorism The Muslim Brotherhood Introduction Of Sheikh Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Husain Najmi i n the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful, all praise is due to Allah and He is All Sufficient, and may peace and salutations be upon His chosen slaves and Muhammad, the one who followed their guidance, his family members, his companions and whoever follows their footsteps until the Day of Resurrection. And to proceed: We have indeed heard and so have the whole world in general about the huge explosions and horrifying incidents that shook the whole country and led to the death of innocent Muslims. Likewise, we heard about the seizure of the weapons and bombs, and the exposure of the armories that are filled with weapons, and the killing of the innocent ones and the terrifying of the peaceful ones. Indeed these horrible acts and dreadful operations that are carried out by some transgressing groups that deviated from the straight path and followed the path of the apostatizing Khaariji those whom the Prophet spoke about: ' o 0 S*''X S ' ® 3 ^^ \ ' ' 0 -vX. i " 3 0 /^ </ i' X.
