Since the creation of Adam, Shaitaan (may Allah curse him) has hated Adam and his children and has been an enemy against all mankind. Shaitaan has promised to lead all mankind astray except Allah’s sincere slaves.
Thus began the war of truth and falsehood between the party of Allah and the party of shaitaan. Shaitaan pursued all the methods that he is capable of to mislead the children of Adam and to beautify falsehood for them. Allah made an agreement with the children of Adam that they should not worship shaitaan as he is their clear enemy.
Allah sent His messengers as bringers of glad tidings and warners against shaitaan so that man would not have a plea against Allah after the coming of the messengers.
The messengers of Allah continued to come with the sole task of subjugating the people to Allah alone, without any partners.
So the chosen ones carried the torch of Tawheed inviting their communities to the worship of Allah subhana wa ta’ala and that they have no deity besides Him.
This torch of Tawheed passed from messenger to messenger until it came to the last prophet of Allah, the best of all creations and the best son of Adam, Muhammad, peace be upon the both of them. The prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, was the seal of the caravan of the messengers that lit up the way to Allah for mankind.
Thus Allah azza wa jalla completed the deen for us and completed His blessings upon us and chose Islam as our deen.
The prophet, may Allah bless and grant him peace left the nation upon a luminous goal whose night is as bright as its day, none deviate from it except the perishable.
But the war between shaitaan and Adam’s children has not ended. It is a long and difficult war wherein falsehood is adorned with the truth and then the party of shaitaan follows it and the party of Allah avoids it.
In this era shaitaan and his helpers have followed a different method to destroy Islam. They try to destroy Islam not by wiping the word Islam out of existence but by distorting the meaning of Islam and the meaning of Islamic terms in such a manner that it does not harm them nor does it harm their authority.
For this reason the problem and tribulation of people today is their ignorance of the true faith that Allah subahana wa ta’ala requires from them and their ignorance of the disbelief which Allah subhana wa ta’ala has asked them to stay away from. As a result they are unable to tell the difference between the disbeliever and the muslim nor do they know who is a disbeliever and who is a muslim according to the definition of their Lord, Allah subhana wa ta’ala.
The judge over people today is no longer the Quran and Sunnah but the views of people, their persuasions and convictions of these views as well as the quantity of information on Islam that the taghut allow them to know and which does not pose a danger to them.
Our aim is to fight shaitaan and his helpers and followers by clarifying and explaining Islamic terms they have distorted according to Qur’an and Sunnah with the understanding of the Salaf.
