The above-given figures on the communists’ terrible
massacre or banishment to Siberian camps of those who opposed the
revolution and paganism portray an alarming scene of
savagery that should be a lesson for all humanity.
In the cities of Bukhara, Semerkand, Kakant, Kazan,
Khiva, Ufa, Baku, Tashkent, Bakhchisarai, Derbent, Timirhan, Kashgar, Almasta,
Tirmi, etc., which had been ornamented with monuments by the Turks after their
embracing Islam and had been turned into masterpieces of the East by Islamic
architecture, the communists seized all religious works, mainly copies of Qur’ân al-kerîm and books of Hadîth-i-sherîf, and shamelessly and mercilessly tore, trampled, and
burned them in the streets. Also, after ordering the people to give the
religious, national and historical books they had been keeping to the State,
they confiscated these books and likewise destroyed them. Meanwhile, some
Muslims ran the risk of life and, instead of giving their books to this
murderous and villainous gang, buried them in chests. In the process of these
events, thousands of religious people who would not hand over their books were
martyred.
The pagan communist State, established on the corpses
of millions of innocent people after a heavy blow to religion and the massacre
of men of religion, carried on mainly the following oppression and propaganda
against religion:
1- Teaching religion in schools was prohibited.
2- Praying in mosques and in all kinds of temples was
prohibited.
3- Men of religion were given no place in State
affairs.
4- Religious or national education of youngsters in
their homes was strictly prohibited.
5- Systematic propaganda against religion was carried
on through newspapers, magazines, TV and radio broadcasts, and slanderous plays
were performed.
6- It was constantly explained that Allâhu ta’âlâ – may He
protect us from saying so! – did not exist and that
holy books were superstitious fables.
7-Conferences were held in cities and villages by
organizations called The Godless Society and The Association of the Young
Godless. Religions, Allâhu ta’âlâ
and Prophets (’alaihimu
’s-salâm) were mocked, and regular night courses were arranged for imbuing
people with atheism.
8- At places of entertainment, such as theatres and
cinemas, Allâhu ta’âlâ, Islam, Qur’ân al-kerîm,
Prophets, men of religion and pious people were continuously made an object of
derision; thus, young brains were being poisoned.
9- The main religious duties of Muslims, such as
salât, fast, hajj and zakât were prohibited definitely; it was considered a
crime even to utter the Kalimat ash-shahâda or to mention the name of Allâhu ta’âlâ. Pious people were under relentless prosecution from the secret
police of the above-mentioned duties and, being accused especially of
“propagating superstitions”, “opposition to the State,” and “opposing the
regime and revolutions,” were driven to death camps.
1- Performing the namâz of janâza and washing corpses
were thoroughly prohibited.
2- One who died was simply thrown into a ditch and
covered first with lime and then with earth.
3- Human bones unearthed from cemeteries in the
cities and rubble from monuments were used to fill depressed areas of the city.
4- Human bones unearthed from village cemeteries were
used in manuring the fields.
Dear Readers! With all their persecutions, massacres,
banishments and oppressions, communists have not been able to expunge the divine
love that exists in human beings; they have not been able to break that sacred
bond. Of the present 140 million Muslim brothers under communist regime, the
number of those whom they have managed to bring to their side and make
irreligious does not exceed 5 per cent, despite all their systematic efforts
and tortures. Then no material power will be able to annihilate the religion or
îmân, which are innate. They can be prohibited, but not annihilated. A Muslim
will rather give his life
away than sacrifice his religion and chastity. This
was very well understood by the Russians in the Afghan tragedy of 1986;
hundreds of thousands of red troops attacked with rockets and aircraft and
killed villagers, including women. Muslim children were taken to Moscow to be
made irreligious. Mosques, schools, houses and foodstuffs were burnt. The
number of Muslims killed from 1979 through 1986 was over one million. But the
Muslim warriors, though thousands of them fell martyrs, did not surrender to
the irreligious. In order to conceal this vulgarity of theirs from Muslim
nations, Russians have prepared and distributed, in Muslim countries freely,
books explaining that there is freedom of religion, Islamic sciences and
rituals in Russia. Muslims in Russia are unaware of these books since they are
only distributed outside Russia. Their distribution in Russia is prohibited;
otherwise, it would be treachery against communism. Some of these books,
distributed among the people of Algeria in 1986, were sent to us. High quality paper
and gilded bindings were used in these offset-processed Arabic books on which “
Whether it be called socialism, republic, democracy or even
guised in the furcoat of a kingdom, or however sweet and deceitful its
propaganda is, communism is a regime that proves itself to be the opposite of
freedom at all times and everywhere. It is a dictatorship of an irreligious,
merciless and cruel minority. That is why it is the merciless enemy of Islam.
In fact, the name of Russia was “The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,”
which did not contain the word ‘communism.’ The name of communist East Germany
was “The German Democratic Republic,” and that of Yugoslavia was “The Federal
Republic.” Poland and all other communist countries carry some sort of republic
in their names. Communism conjures up a dangerous meaning to the world’s
humanity and those who have fallen into its trap hate it so much that even
communists themselves abstain from using this name and consider it necessary to
camouflage the title of their own
states by attaching the titles of free states to them.
Whatever fur communism puts on itself, the red and
cruel regime reveals itself as soon as the guise opens a little. What is the
mark that represents communism at first sight? Despite its various titles,
namely Democratic, Republic, People’s or Kingdom, how is it that communism is
recognized at first sight? Let us explain: The single distinctive
characteristic of communism is its policy of centralized state control and enmity
towards religion. A country wherein everything is controlled by the State,
where Muslims are called retrogressive and fanatical, and where non-communists
are marked as “faschists” is a communist country whatever its name is. The
further away from the policy of state control and the more respectful a country
is to Allâhu ta’âlâ and the Prophet
(sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam), the further away will it be from communism.
State control with enmity towards religion is the real name of communism.
The purpose of those who support the excessive policy
of state control and who try to remove religious lessons from schools is to
establish communism. The technical definition of communism is to “bring
everything under state control, by means of collectivization and enmity towards
religion.” Once everything has been brought under state control, the Godless
Society is established within hours.
To the comrades bought by communism beforehand, the
World Communism Organization gives 18 directives with the purpose of introducing
and settling communism in free contries. Ten of them are as follows:
1. “Try to encourage the establishment of communist or socialist
parties in your countries. If they are already present, cooperate with them.”
2. “Divide your nation into as many classes and communities as
possible.”
3. “Always try to establish disagreements between the employee
and the employer.”
4. “Fight and endeavour until the communist regime is
established. Make everybody believe that there is no such a threat in your
country by the time the communist regime becomes deep rooted. Accuse those who
notice your intention and objectives and those who attempt to reveal the facts,
of being illusive and provocative.”
5. “Instigate madhhab and tarîqa conflicts. Practise enmity
towards religion, openly and secretly.”
6. “Make banners for yourselves of the heroes who are loved much
by the people. Show them to be on your side.”
7. “Through novels, poetry, articles, and cartoons write
systematically using exaggerations that the laborers and villagers are in
poverty.”
8. “Maintain an antagonistic attitude towards free countries and
promulgate enmity against the West.”
9. “Get control over labour unions, youth organizations, and art
establishments.”
10. “Search for reasons for discomfort and find them; try to
popularize them.”
In order not to be caught up in the calamity of
communism, even the slightest opportunity must be made use of in rendering
these seeds of communism harmless.
It is necessary to cooperate, to get organized and to
be on the alert against communist instigation. Greeting communists, smiling at
them, buying, exhibiting in shop windows or selling their books, newspapers and
magazines, or supporting their magazines and newspapers thru advertisements,
will sharpen the knife of communism.
The Czar used to invite insidious Russian communists
to his palace, compliment them, admit them to dinner, and listen to their
ideas. But when the revolution took place, it was those same friends who
butchered the Czar, the Czarina, their children and grandchildren, including
the infants.
Communism does not have understanding, fidelity,
human values, mercy, faith or reason.
Air raids on Afghan villages carried by Russians in
1980 are a new and terrible proof of communist atrocities and barbarism.
The communist is hostile to those who believe in Allâhu ta’âlâ, conscience and morals. He considers these humane feelings as an
illness, idiocy and treachery against his regime and principles. His password
is “Divide and rule!”
There is a single formula for defending ourselves
against the evils of communism:
To counter-attack it with the same method it uses,
that is, by force, to spit in its face, to maintain severe control over it, to
keep it away from honest people, and to leave it alone with its red-stained
face.
The Russian revolution slaughtered 52 million people,
40 million of whom were agricultural and industrial workers. It came forth with
the promise that it would “give peasants land and make workers shareholders in
businesses”, but it even grabbed the few acres of land belonging to poor
peasants and the cottages owned by penniless workers and killed those who had
faith and belief or who said Allah.
The red revolution is a greedy monster that eats workers
under the guise of workers’ power! It produces such massacre and plunder that
even those who practise this massacre and plunder cannot escape its massacre
and plunder.
With communism, the grudge which was at the outset
held against life, property, chastity, religion and faith, turned into a sadism
borne against humanity and began to work for the plans of a handful of cruel
chiefs. At that point it was realized how great a lie it was, yet it was too
late.
The following is the fourth paragraph of the constitution
of the secret communist party:
“The Communist Party is the irreconcilable enemy of
the native servants of imperialism, of the owners of land, factories and
buildings of the bourgeois artisans and tradesmen, of all pious people and
their priests and scholars, of all working and retired military officers,
policemen and civil servants, and, in short, of those who are outside the lines
of the revolution.”
Lenin’s password for the revolution was: “Kill the
active personnel as soon and in as great a number as possible so that there
will be little work left for us to do.”
As it can be concluded, excluding those who were to
be butchered, only the red leaders themselves remained in one hundred per cent
safety.
According to Lenin, “Maintenance of Red dominance is dependent
upon the continuation of the Red revolution.” This is the reason for the
unending massacre of workers by the regime. In Red China, with the order of
communist dictator Mao, 300,000 labourers were shot dead during each
liquidation movement. These murders were committed by a minority hostile to
religion and belief in the next world.
What level has Russia reached today? To what degree
are the people happy? Without clarifying these things, it will be
narrow-mindedness to evade the question by simply saying, “They are travelling
in space,” or to admire the luxurious, excellent,
delightful and pleasing life of a cruel minority. The
Pyramids in Egypt, too, were masterpieces at one time. Can we point out signs
of social welfare in the factories and rockets, which were built on the blood
and corpses of millions of people and with the money grabbed from hungry,
wretched workers and labourers with the view of satisfying the desires of a
despotic minority? Displaying the means as the aim of life is treacherous to
life itself.
We wonder if some writers or others could even utter
one per cent of what they write or say now, were they in a communist country?
O, Youth! Your pure hearts and green souls are quite
susceptible to the enchantment of such illusive promises. But you will repent
for it later.
The only remedy for protecting humanity against the calamity of
communism is not to fall for its sweet poisons and varnished filth. And this,
in turn, requires people to have a firm faith, an unbending trust in Allâhu ta’âlâ, a peaceful heart, and to live in
justice and freedom. But this can come about only by following a divine,
unyielding and unchangeable book, and by purifying the morals and intentions.
This purity can be provided by Islam, which is free from all sorts of
prejudices and oppression. Islam supplies perfect social justice, a strong
shield to protect people against the claws of the dragon of communism.
Destruction of communism can be achieved by serving Islam. Islam and communism
cannot stay together. It is a known fact that some dictators, who have
appropriated power and preside over Muslim nations, have given their states
such names as “The Socialist Islamic Republic.” The word “Socialism,” used as
such, is a term not for Muslims, but for communists. Their putting this word
and Islam side by side is one of the traps devised for deceiving Muslims, for
Islam and socialism cannot stay together. A Muslim cannot be a socialist. It is
for this reason that communist barbarians, in order to make the people of the
Muslim countries they capture communists, first attack Islam, laying much
stress on it. The same reason lies nder communists’ enmity towards the
religion.
In every nation, there exist ignoble, irreligious,
immoral, and base people who may be tempted, deceived and cajoled into becoming
communists. Through the tricks prepared by red and yellow centers, they may
plot a communist revolution. Protection of the nation against the bursting and
spreading of such a dark and bloody revolution can be accomplished by
instructing the
youth with religious knowledge and with Islamic
ethics. Every father must teach his children how to read Qur’ân al-kerîm; send them to religious courses; teach them how to perform wudu’,
ghusl and salât; how to fast; what is halâl and what is harâm; and have them
practise them. Communists cannot mislead a person who is brought up to be such
a Muslim. Apparent examples of this are the millions of Muslims moaning under
Russian and Chinese persecution and savagery. They endure all kinds of
oppression, torture and even death, but do not become communists. They either
die or escape.
Seeing that they will never be able to deceive
Muslims or bring revolution to Islamic countries, cruel communists try to
improve heavy industry and means of war to use it for invading Islamic
countries. They make preparations to attack with weapons, rockets, fusion
bombs, new jet-fighters and chemicals to destroy all Muslims on the earth.
Therefore, Muslims all over the world must cooperate, do away with sectarian
differences, and become united under the Ahl as-Sunna, the only way to
salvation. They must use all their energy to make new weapons in order to
surpass communists.
When unity in faith, unity in morals, and unity in
justice are established and sophisticated weapons are made, communist raid will
no longer be a threat.
Through the gate opened in 1982 by Roger
Garaudy, a famous man of letters
in Europe, Cousteau, Captain of the Oceans, turned the course of his ship towards
Islam. Bejart,one of
the well-known figures of the ballet world, stepped into Muslim community. The
great scholar and writer RogerGaraudy said in a Conference Hall of Garyunes University in
Benghazi on April 8, 1983:
“It is
true that I have embraced Islam. You ask why I chose Islam; by choosing Islam,
I chose the modern age.”
This was the same Roger Garaudy, aged 70, who had fervently defended the communist
system for France for decades. At universities and political platforms, he had
repeatedly explained Marxism to Frenchmen and to the West, thinking that
salvation of men lay in that unique system. He had been known as the ‘Spiritual
Architect’ of modern
French communism. Where there was a meeting, conference or seminar organized by
communists, there was Garaudy. He carried on a serious struggle against Catholicism and
Christianity with his ideas, pen and rhetoric.
One day a bomb exploded in the midst of the West’s
world of arts, letters and politics: “Roger Garaudy embraces
Islam!”With the spread of this
news to the whole world through telexes of news agencies, the Kremlin was
terribly shocked, since the Kremlin was losing its greatest master of French
communists; Garaudy was a well-known scholar, with whose pen Marxism had been
disseminated for years.
This great man was now telling the truth: “Islam
is the religion that drags the ages behind itself. Other religions,however,
were dragged behind the ages. That is, all religions except Islam were altered
according to the time and reformed, and their holy books were distorted to
conform to the conditions of the time. However, Qur’ân
al-kerîm has dominated over the ages ever since its
descent. Not Qur’ân al-kerîm, but
time followed behind. As time gotolder, it became younger. This is an event
that occurs beyond the ages. This is an event much greater than all the
terrible social, political and economic disasters that followed so many wars in
history. Islam prevails against not only materialism or positivism, but also
existentialism. However, none of them prevailed over Islam.
“The
Great Prophet of Islam (’alaihi ’s-salâm) explainedeverything by saying,
‘Work for the next world as if youwere to die tomorrow, and work for this world
as if you would never die!’ Islam has control over not only the material but
also the spiritual. Therefore, these two cannotbe separated from each other.
How can they be separated since Islam states: ‘Learn knowledge even if it is in
China,’ and ‘Scientific knowledge is the lost property of the Believer; he
should get it wherever he finds it!’ Knowledgeand working are not limited in
Islam. Possessing no limits concerning these two facts, which bewilder the
world, Islam has bewildered the world.
“By
defining man to be ‘the superior and the most honourable creature,’ Islam means
that he should not be exploited. It is a conglomerate of systems that
disapproves xtravagance, ostentation and luxury, defines income as earnings
obtained thru the sweat of one’s brow, transfers growing capital to the poor by
means of a well-balancedand moral rule, prohibits interest, a cause of
laziness, andthereby destroys unlawful wealth. Islam has made it obligatory
that the Caliph and the slave shall share the same rights. There was the case
of the ‘camel’ which is areality sharper than a king’s sword: Hadrat ’Umar and
hisslave rode a camel by taking turns as they travelled from ne
town
to another, the halter being held by the Caliph and by the slave alternately...
Here is the revolution of Islam in the field of justice and law.
“Both Marxism and capitalism are systems that exploit man. In contrast to them, Islam is a heavenly religion that restores human prestige to humanity.”
'Rahmat-allahi alaih’
Hüseyn Hilmi Iţýk, 'Rahmat-allahi alaih’, publisher
of the Waqf Ikhlas Publications, was born in Eyyub Sultan, Istanbul in 1329
(A.D. 1911).
Of the one hundred and forty-four books he published,
sixty are Arabic, twenty-five Persian, fourteen Turkish, and the remaining
translated books consist of French, German, English, Russian and other
languages.
Hüseyn Hilmi Iţýk, 'Rahmat-allahi alaih' (guided by
Sayyid Abdulhakim Arvasi, ‘Rahmat-allahi alaih’, a profound scholar of the
religion and was perfect in virtues of tasawwuf and capable to direct disciples
in a fully mature manner; possessor of glories and wisdom), was a competent,
great Islamic scholar able to pave the way for attaining happiness, passed away
during the night between October 25, 2001 (8 Shaban 1422) and October 26, 2001
(9 Shaban 1422). He was buried at Eyyub Sultan, where he was born.

Rasűlullah ‘sallallâhu alaihi wasallam’ stated, “When mischief becomes widespread among my Ummat (Muslims), aperson who abides by my Sunnat will acquire blessings equal to the amount deserved by a hundred martyrs.” At a time when concocted tafsîrs (explanations of the Qur’an al-kerîm) and heretical religious books written by irreligious people are on the increase, and when Muslims are misguided, people who follow the true religious books written by scholars of the right path called Ahl as-Sunnat will be given the same blessings as those which would be given to a hundred martyrs. The scholars of any of the four madhhabs are called Scholars of Ahl as-Sunnat. The leader of the scholars of Ahl as-Sunnat is Imâm-i-A’zâm Abű Hanîfa. These scholars recorded what they had heard from the As-hâb-i-kirâm, who, in their turn, had told them whatever they had heard from the Messenger of Allah.
1 - Our Prophet 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa sallam' stated: "A person whom Allâhu ta'âlâ loves very much is one who learns his religion and teaches it to others. Learn your religion from the mouths of Islamic scholars!"
A person who cannot find a true scholar must learn by reading books written by the scholars of Ahl as-sunna, and try hard to spread these books. A Müslim who has 'ilm (knowledge), 'amal (practising what one knows; obeying Islam's commandments and prohibitions), and ikhlâs (doing everything only to please Allâhu ta'âlâ) is called an Islamic scholar. A person who represents himself as an Islamic scholar though he lacks any one of these qualifications is called an 'evil religious scholar', or an 'impostor'. The Islamic scholar will guide you to causes which in turn will open the gates to happiness; he is the protector of faith. The impostor will mislead you into such causes as will make you end up in perdition; he is the Satan's accomplice.[1] (There is a certain) prayer (called) Istighfâr (which), whenever you say, (recite or read) it, will make you attain causes which will shield you against afflictions and troubles.
2 - The Nejât-ul-musallî was written in Turkish in the year 1217 (A.H.) by Ahmed Ţevki Efendi, and was printed in Ýstanbul in 1305. Ýt consists of a hundred and ninety-seven (197) pages. Ýt is stated as follows on its final page: Ibni Jezerî, (751 [1350 A.D.], Damascus - 833 [1429], Shîrâz,) states as follows in his book Hisn ul-hasîn: A hadîth-i-sherîf reads as follows: "If an invalid person says Lâ ilâha illâ anta subhânaka innî kuntu min-az-zâlimîn,' forty times, he will die as a martyr (if his predetermined life-span is over). If he recovers, all his sins will be pardoned." This prayer is the eighty-seventh âyat-i- kerîma of Anbiyâ sűra.
