in Islam and caused millions of Muslims to deviate from the right
way till the end of the world. The harms done to Islam and the
bloodbaths of millions of Muslims perpetrated by those who
dissented from the Ahl as-sunna by reading the lies and slanders
fabricated by Hurûfîs and Jews, are the causes of Islam’s status
quo. The harms which groups named Ahmadî and Qâdiyânî
inflicted on Muslims are in the open. Could a wise and reasonable
person with a light of Islam and love of îmân in his heart say that
hadrat Alî was the cause of this great malice?
Abd-ul-qâdir-i-Geylânî ‘quddisa sirruh’, one of the greatest
Awliyâ, gives the following account in his book Ghunya: “Of the
seventy-two groups of bid’at (aberration), nine are the most
prominant. Shiites are one of these nine groups. They have parted
into twenty sub-groups, all of which dislike one another. The
group of Abdullah ibni Saba’ are like Jewry. For instance, Jews
say that the right to become an imâm belongs to a certain class of
people. Likewise, these people allege that caliphate is a right
which belongs to Imâm-i-Alî’s descendants, and that it is not
permissible for other people to preside over Muslims. According
to Jews, Jihâd [War] is not permissible until the emerging of
Dadjdjal. And according to the Saba’ group, Jihâd is not
permissible until the emerging of Mahdi. The twelfth imâm, i.e.
Muhammad Mahdi, who was the tenth grandson of Hadrat Alî,
was the son of Hasan Askerî. He was born in 259. When he was
seventeen years old he entered a cave and never came back out.
The Saba’ group think that he was the promised Mahdi who
according Islam’s teachings will appear in the latest time. Jews do
not break their fast before stars appear in the sky. This is the case
with the Saba’ group, too. Jews make masah on their socks (in
ritual ablution). The Saba’ group do the same. It is permissible for
a Jew to kill a Muslim. And it is permissible for the Saba’ group to
kill the Sunnite Muslims. A woman divorced by a Jew can marry
(another man) without having to wait for the time of iddat
(according to Islam, length of time during which a divorced
woman cannot marry another man). The Saba’ group also do not
wait for the time of iddat. According to Jews, having divorced a
woman three times will not prevent from marrying her again. The
Saba’ group also will marry a woman whom they have divorced
three times. Jews changed the Torah. There is not a single copy of
the Bible that has remained intact on the earth today; nor is there
a true copy of the Torah. Likewise, the Saba’ group wrote the
defiled forms of some âyats of Qur’ân al-kerîm in their heretical
