Confessions of a British spy

PART 4C

He did not answer my question. I knew that he was convinced. I sensed that Muhammad of Najd desired a woman at that moment; he was single. I said to him, "Come on, let us each get a woman by mut'a nikah. We will have a good time with them. He accepted with a nod. This was a great opportunity for me, so I promised to find a woman for him to amuse himself. My aim was to ally the timidity he had about people. But he stated it a condition that the matter be kept as a secret between us and that the woman not even be told what his name was. I hurriedly went to the Christian women who had been sent forth by the Ministry of Colonies with the task of seducing the Muslim youth there. I explained the matter to one of them. She accepted to help, so I gave her the nickname Safiyya. I took Muhammad of Najd to her house. Safiyya was at home, alone. We made a one-week marriage contract for Muhammad of Najd, who gave the woman some gold in the name of "Mahr." Thus we began to mislead Muhammad of Najd, Safiyya from within, and I from without.

[Firstly, false justification of any benevolent law to serve satanic purposes is a very easy thing to do, but it can only harm those who submit to satanic desires themselves.

Secondly, we have a question from such so-called Christian women; do these women consider being used in such manners, freedom?! This is nothing but mere slavery. We invite our Christian sisters to take another profound look at the concept of freedom; a freedom which actually serves other people's satanic intentions and desires, is not freedom, rather it is the slavery of those people, but serving and obeying the most Compassionate and Benevolent Allah who needs nothing for Himself, is the true freedom.]

Muhammad of Najd was thoroughly in Safiyya's hands now. Besides, he had tasted the pleasure of disobeying the commandments of the [Sunni] Shariat under the pretext of freedom of ijtihad and ideas.

The third day of the mut'a nikah I had a long dispute with him over that hard drinks were not haram (forbidden by Islam). Although he quoted many ayats and hadiths showing that it was haram to have hard drinks, I cancelled all of them and finally said, "It is a fact that Yazid and the Umayyad and Abbasid Khalifas had hard drinks. Were they all miscreant people and you are the only adherent of the right way? They doubtless knew the Qur'an and the Sunnat better than you do. They inferred from the Qur'an and the Sunnat that the hard drink is makruh, not haram. Also, it is written in Jewish and Christian books that alcohol is mubah (permitted). All religions are Allah's commandments. In fact, according to a narrative, 'Umar had hard drinks until the revelation of the ayat, 'You have all given it up, haven't you?" If it had been haram, the Prophet would have chastised him. Since the Prophet did not punish him, hard drink is halal."

Muhammad of Najd said, "According to some narratives, 'Umar drank alcoholic spirits after mixing it with water and said it was not haram unless it had an intoxicating effect. 'Umar's view is correct, for it is declared in the Qur'an, 'The devil wants to stir up enmity and grudge among you and to keep you from doing dhikr of Allah and from namaz by means of drinks and gambling. You will give these up now, won't you?' Alcoholic spirits will not cause the sins defined in the ayat when it does not intoxicate. Therefore, hard drinks are not haram when they don't have an intoxicating effect."

[As verified by the Sunni, 'Umar and Yazid and … used to drink alcohol, whereas Hadrat Ali (PBUH) never committed any sin such as drinking, neither before nor after the revelation of the various verses of Qur'an in regard to drinking -which step by step, guided people and finally declared drinking a grave and great 'Ethm' -Sin- (Qur'an 4:43, 5:90&91, 2:219, …), and in Qur'an 7:33 Allah has clearly declared any 'Ethm' (Sin) as Haraam (absolutely forbidden)-; this is what being infallible is all about, all Allah's Chosen Ones have been such. The Prophet and the Ahl-Ol-Bayt (PBUT) have clarified that even taking one drop of any alcoholic drink is Haraam; the vicious and diabolic act of drinking hard drinks, is the direct disobedience of Allah the Almighty, and it always has been, the Jews and Christians have distorted the Law of Prophets (PBUT) based on their satanic desires.]

I told Safiyya about this dispute we had on drinks and instructed her to make him drink a very strong spirit. Afterwards, she said, "I did as you said and made him drink. He danced and united with me several times that night." From them on Safiyya and I completely took control of Muhammad of Najd. In our farewell talk the Minister of Colonies had said to me, "We captured Spain from the disbelievers (Muslims) by means of alcohol and fornication. Let us take all our lands back by using these two great forces again." Now I know how true a statement it was.

One day I broached the topic of fasting to Muhammad of Najd: "It is stated in the Qur'an, 'Your fasting is more auspicious for you.' It is not stated that fasting is fard (a plain commandment). Then, fasting is sunnat, not fard, in the Islamic religion." He protested and said, "Are you trying to lead me out of my faith?" I replied, "One's faith consists of the purity of one's heart, the salvation of one's soul, and not committing a transgression against others' rights. Did not the Prophet state, 'Faith is love'? Did not Allah declare in Qur'an al-karim, 'Worship thine Rab (Allah) until yaqin comes to thee'? Then, when one has attained yaqin pertaining to Allah and the Day of Judgment and beautified one's heart and purified one's deeds, one will become the most virtuous of mankind." He shook his head in reply to these words of mine.

Once I said to him, "Namaz is not fard." "How is it not fard?" "Allah declares in the Qur'an, 'Perform Namaz to remember Me.' Then, the aim of namaz is to remember Allah. Therefore, you might as well remember Allah without performing namaz."

He said, "Yes. I have heard that some people do dhikr of Allah instead of performing namaz.' I was very much pleased with this statement of his. I tried hard to develop this notion and capture his heart. Then I noticed that he did not attach much importance to namaz and was performing it quite sporadically. He was very negligent especially with the morning prayer. For I would keep him from going to bed by talking with him until midnight. So he would be too exhausted to get up for morning prayer.

[Allah -Glorified and Exalted is He- through His Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP), has declared Qur'an and the AhlulBayt (PBUT) as absolutely INSEPARABLE until the Judgment Day ('Hadith Thaqalain' and …), so that no such Satanic interpretations would be derived from Qur'an Itself after the Prophet (PBUH&HP) until the Judgment Day; achievement of the 'Yaqin' (Absolute Certitude) which is mentioned in this verse of Qur'an, is clarified by the Prophet and his AhlulBayt (PBUT), to be at the time of death, when many truth will be revealed to the dying person. The Prophet (PBUH&HP) -being the Qur'an-declared beautiful and perfect 'Oswah', role model, for creations- performed Salaat (Namaz) until his last breath, Ali (PBUH) was martyred in the Mosque while performing Salaat and Imam Hossain (PBUH) performed his last Salaat right there in the battlefield at the day of 'Aashoora to send an everlasting message regarding the importance of Salaat and obedience of Allah … .

I began to pull down the shawl of belief slowly off the shoulders of Muhammad of Najd. One day I wanted to dispute with him about the Prophet, too. "From now on, if you talk with me on these topics, our relation will be spoilt and I shall put an end to my friendship with you." Upon this I gave up speaking about the Prophet for fear of ruining all my endeavors once and for all.

I advised him to pursue a course quite different from those of Sunnites and Shiites. He favored this idea of mine. For he was a conceited person. Thanks to Safiyya, I put a halter on him.

On one occasion I said, "I have heard that the Prophet made his Ashab, brothers to one another. Is it true?" Upon his positive reply, I wanted to know if this Islamic rule was temporary or permanent. He explained, "It is permanent. For the Prophet Muhammad's halal is halal till the end of the world, and his haram is haram till the end of the world." Then I offered him to be my brother. So we were brothers.

[The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) -as confirmed by the Shi'ah and the Sunni- had declared Hadrat Ali (PBUH) as his brother from the very beginning, even before the revelation of the 'brotherhood' verse (Qur'an, 49:10) -when each Muslim in Medina was assigned a brother-. At Yawm-O-Ddaar, the very first day that the Prophet -as commanded by Allah- (Qur'an, 26:214) announced his Prophethood to his close relatives, he said that Ali was his brother, his executor and his Successor and Caliph (Khalifa) among all and commanded every one to hearken and obey him (Sunni documents: Taarikh Tabari, …).]

From that day on I never left him alone. We were together even in his travels. He was very important for me. For the tree that I had planted and grown, spending the most valuable days of my youth, was now beginning to yield its fruit.

I was sending monthly reports to the Ministry of Colonies in London. The answers I received were very encouraging and reassuring. Muhammad of Najd was following the path I had drawn for him.

My duty was to imbue him with feelings of independence, freedom and skepticism. I always praised him, saying that a brilliant future was awaiting him.

One day I fabricated the following dream: "Last night I dreamed of our Prophet. I addressed him with the attributes I had learnt from hodjas. He was seated on a dais. Around him were scholars that I did not know. You entered. Your face was as bright as haloes. You walked towards the Prophet, and when you were close enough the Prophet stood up and kissed between your both eyes. He said, 'You are my namesake, the heir to my knowledge, my deputy in worldly and religious matters.' You said, 'O Messenger of Allah! I am afraid to explain my knowledge to people.' 'You are the greatest. Don't be afraid,' replied the Prophet."

[Here it is noteworthy to mention that in general, the dreams of the Infallible Ones are the exact reality as Qur'an verifies the dreams of Hazrat Ibrahim, Hazrat Yusof and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUT) and …, but as the dreams of the rest of the people, while there exist the possibility of true dreams, but distinguishing the true dreams from untrue ones is not an easy task, so dreams of the regular people must not be taken as hard facts.]

Muhammad bin Abd-ul-Wahhab was wild with joy when he heard the dream. He asked several times if what I had told him was true, and received a positive answer each time he asked. Finally he was sure I had told him the truth. I think, from then on, he was resolved to publicize the ideas I had imbued him with and to establish a new sect.
