Al-Asra al-Maghribah: Some of Their Cases & Conditions

The Case of Shaykh Hassan al-Kattani:

Shaykh Hassan Al-Kattani

The government ignored the rich history of the the al-Kattani family in spreading Islamic knowledge and the role they played for Moroccan independence in fighting the colonial forces until the liberation of the country. They overlooked the case of the defense that the Kattani household had produced scholars that have honored Morocco around the world. It seemed to the family as if their reward was to have one of their sons sentenced to 20 years imprisonment, in a case he has no connection with.

Shaykh Hassan al-Kattani suffered four months of pretrial detention in Sala prison, from where he was kidnapped and taken to an unknown location and subsequently abused. There he was put in solitary confinement and stripped of all his clothes except what covers the private parts. He was not Allowed to have a Quran nor speak to others. Even reciting prayers aloud was not allowed. From the secret prison he was then transferred to ‘Ain al-Birja prison in Casablanca where he was locked up in a filthy toilet.

As for the trial itself, then it was the quickest ever in history. Despite his refutation of all the charges against him and argumentation with the judge, who could not prove any crime against him, al-Kattani was unjustly sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. To note he was not charged based on evidence by the police or any investigation of any crime but instead based upon alleged confessions by a group of brothers that stated they attended lessons by him on: “The Principles of Salafi Jihadism”!  Read the rest of this entry »

Abu Usama al-Ghareeb: May 7, 2011 (And Fitnah is Greater than Killing)

Praise is to Allah, who glorifies Islam with His victory and disgraces disbelief with His might, and dispenses affairs with His orders, and lures the disbelievers by His cunning, who has destined days as rounds amongst the people and has made the final victory for the believers by His grace and peace and blessings upon him, who raised the light of Islam with his sword

To Proceed

After the killing of an Italian in Gaza at the hands of some of the monotheist brothers who demanded Hamas to release Sheikh Abul Waleed Al Maqdese- as per the statement of media outlets- the scholars of rulers and the leaders of Hamas launched a frantic war on our monotheist brothers in Gaza, calling them as ‘carriers of Al Qaeda thoughts’ and ‘Khawarij’ and other such statements

And then the Hamasist security machinery arrested tens of our brothers and raided into their houses and scared their women and children and stole their weapons and money, in continuation and increase of their war against every person who followed the methodology of ‘the victorious sect until the day of judgment’ or what is now known as the ‘Salafi jihadist methodology’

They claimed that our brothers killed a person whose blood has been protected by the Sharia, and that the Italian had come in support of the stranded Muslims in the Hashemite Gaza

Regardless of the fact whether the claim of these people is right or wrong, but using the event to justify apparent disbelief and clear Shirk, in which the Hamas government has fallen, instead, justifying the killing of monotheist believers and arresting and torturing them at the hands of the torturers of Hamas and its leaders, is what has forced me to write over this matter, as a support for our monotheist oppressed brothers in the defiant Gaza, and in support of truth, and repelling falsehood (To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him)

We say:

If it is true that the brothers really killed this Italian, and that he was from those who it’s forbidden to kill, then this does not mean the corruption of methodology that these monotheists carry, but it is a mistake that will be forgiven – by the will of Allah- due to their jihad and Tawheed

I was reminded by the defamation of these Murjiifeen, with the defamation of the tyrants of Quraysh of the Muslims, when Abdullah bin Jahsh al Asadi and his companions- May Allah be pleased with them- killed a disbeliever in the forbidden month… then Quraysh claimed that they had got a pretext and they said- Muhammad has broken the sanctity of the Holy month, then Allah the Almighty revealed-

{They ask you about the sacred month – about fighting therein. Say, “Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah is greater than killing.“}

Imam Ibn al Qayim- May Allah have mercy on him- said about this verse, as though he is replying to the scholars of rulers and the Hamasist today:

“Allah, Most Glorified says: What they have done may be serious, but the sins of which you are guilty, such as disbelief, preventing people from following the Way of Allah and from making pilgrimage to His House, expelling the Muslims who were residents of Makah from their homes, the Shirk which you practice and the Fitnah which has resulted from your actions is a greater sin in Allah’s Sight.

And most of the scholars have explained the word Fitnah here as meaning Shirk; and the truth of it is the Shirk which its owner calls to and he punishes those who are not put to trial by it (i.e. those who do not accept it)….

And what is meant is that Allah, Most Glorified has judged between His followers and His enemies with justice and He has not deprived His followers of hope if they err due to misinterpretation or are deficient in any way that He will forgive them for what they have done because of their affirmation of Allah’s Oneness, their acts of obedience to Him and their migration to Al-Madinah.”
