Question:
The below recording is from the SAUF conference in Zambia recently. Molvi Ebrahim Bham, Molvi Sulaiman Ravat and Shaykh Saaleh Isaac actively and openly engaged in promoting interfaith. They give the pros of interfaith.
Please comment on each clip:
Clip 1: To justify entering a Church, Mandir and synagogue which was never by any true Islamic scholar, Sheikh Saaleh Isaac comes in 1446 and says, “It is not factual, when it comes to interfaith activities, there is no fact that show that a non Muslim or a Muslim person goes the other way”.

Response:
There is no justifications for Kufr. Interfaith is Kufr. Suratul Kaafiroon explains clearly our relationship and that of the Kuffaar. Forget entering a church, the mere fact of driving passed a Church with a cross on it is enough to cause a bilious reaction. That is Imaan! What angers Allah Ta’alaa angers a believer! There is absolutely no Imaan if one goes to a Church and participates with those who take a son for Allah Ta’alaa.
عن أبي ذر، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أفضل الأعمال الحب في الله، والبغض في الله»
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Radhiyallahu ‘Anhu said: Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam said:
“The best of actions is to love for the pleasure of Allah and hatred for the pleasure of Allah”
Abu Dawood
Um Salama Radhiyallahu ‘Anha told Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about a church which she had seen in Ethiopia and which was called Maariyah. She told him about the pictures which she had seen in it. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If any righteous pious man dies amongst them, they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it; they are the worst creatures in the sight of Allah.
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، ذَكَرَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَنِيسَةً رَأَتْهَا بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ يُقَالُ لَهَا مَارِيَةُ، فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ مَا رَأَتْ فِيهَا مِنَ الصُّوَرِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ أُولَئِكَ قَوْمٌ إِذَا مَاتَ فِيهِمُ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ ـ أَوِ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ ـ بَنَوْا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مَسْجِدًا، وَصَوَّرُوا فِيهِ تِلْكَ الصُّوَرَ، أُولَئِكَ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ”.
Sahih al-Bukhari
It is clear and we have to remind the Ummah of our children in Maktab who were exposed to the changed syllabus to twist interfaith from Kufr to the now new brand of “acceptable”. This was all done with clear intentions and not by mistake, a clear cut adulteration of the Haqq and a kufr interpretation of the Sublime and Glorious Quraan Shareef. Remember this old abandoned Kitaab taught in Madaaris? Tasheel Duroosil Quraan and the old interpretation of Suratul Kaafiroon:
Read the interpretation and the lesson well:
Now read the adulterated interpretation many years later incorporating the unwarranted interfaith belief and to deem it as acceptable. Let this question keep on ringing in your mind, why all of a sudden? This pollution to capture our innocent children:
The lesson above of the adulterated version clearly reads:
This Surah very beautifully explains that we could engage in interfaith relations in order to achieve harmony in a community or society.
Clip Two:
Nonetheless with no guilt the push now is for Muslims to go to Church and to tolerate Christians screaming out “Jesus Christ, Father, the Son and Holy Ghost, at times if that is done where a person was killed, the purpose for that non Muslim to be there is more important, then at times to tolerate that, to say ok we know its Shirk”………….”if the problem is about unity, like a sect divided in Cape Town for example, it brought us together in the Church.

Response:
Take note Sheikh Saaleh Isaac by his own admission admits, “in the Church there was activities not in conformity with Islaam….somebody took a picture of me it would show I am a part of stopping the violence… ”
He then speaks of candles and the importance of being in a Church with Christians, Jews and Hindu’s to prevent violence. We ask him as to what benefit was this relationship. Does he not know that Al Jazeera carried out a detailed documentary of Aaron Bayhack from Sandton. He participated with the IDF opening direct fire against our Palestinian children, women and elderly which we yell to the top of our lungs. Let us be honest, you pray at times with hardcore Zionists. So we beg an answer again. What benefit was your interfaith prayers?
You sold yourself to the devil to promoting this evil and calling for Muslims to stand in a church. You have damaged our future generations. Yes, you will have to bare the consequences of your unapologetic promotions.
Did not the MJC start in a church?

Further Sheikh Saaleh Isaac speaks of tolerance and not giving up core beliefs in these prayers and coming together for Desmond Tutu. Let us present to you a typical Desmond Tutu example:
The argument that they raise is that interfaith does not mean what we think it is. Well, we ask from your engagements, you pray all pray together. Yes, let’s be honest, with one face you marched Palestine and with the other you prayed with those who called the Mujahideen barbarians. Click play:
The only one who can be hell-bent on such promotions are those who are being fed under the carpets. Once you are fed, you cannot change your tune. The issue you should already know by now is the style and operation changes from country to country. Depending on the strength of resistance, the ploy will differ.
They attempt to deceive Allah and those who believe, when they are deceiving none but their own selves, and they are not aware
Surah 2 – Al-Baqarah, Verse 9
If the Imaan of Muslims is strong in a particular area, the plan will be at a gradual rate with the bigger objective of watering the Deen of Islam down. Some promoters are duped whilst those at the top know exactly what they are doing. When you approach them and say but listen you are spreading corruption, they will say no, we are the reformers!
“And when it is said to them, Do not spread disorder on the earth”, they say, “We are nothing but reformers”
Surah 2, Al-Baqarah, Verse 11
Allah Ta’alaa warns us clearly in the next verse not to be entangled in their paid agenda’s:
“Beware! it is, in fact they who spread disorder, but they are not aware”.
Surah 2, Al Baqarah, Verse 12
SHEIKH SAALEH ISAAC DISTORTS AND TWISTS THE QUR’AAN SHAREEF AND AHAADITH MUBAARAKAH TO SUIT HIS INTERFAITH KUFR AGENDA
He says “temporarily we put that thing aside”. Since when do we endanger our Imaan to put it aside and embrace with both hands such Kufr? Further to justify his distorted understanding of Deen and to drive home the filth of interfaith, he says, “remember we tell people Muhammed Mustafaa used to do Tawaaf of the Ka’baah and there used to be idols in there” Click on the moving circle for the audio to play:
Let us take a look at the reality mentioned in the Ahaadith!
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَكَّةَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ وَحَوْلَ الْبَيْتِ سِتُّونَ وَثَلاَثُمِائَةِ نُصُبٍ، فَجَعَلَ يَطْعُنُهَا بِعُودٍ فِي يَدِهِ وَيَقُولُ “ جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ، جَاءَ الْحَقُّ، وَمَا يُبْدِئُ الْبَاطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيدُ
When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered Mecca on the day of the Conquest, there were 360 idols around the Ka`ba. The Prophet (ﷺ) started striking them with a stick he had in his hand and was saying, “Truth has come and Falsehood will neither start nor will it reappear.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 4287
This begs the question, where was there interfaith activity. This is a slander upon Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam. The Hadith Shareef makes clear how Rasulullah (ﷺ) poked the idols with a stick and said “Truth has come and Falsehood will neither start nor will it reappear. Where does it say Rasulullah (ﷺ) was fine with the idols presence for interfaith dialogue. This is distortion of the highest degree.
Sheikh Saaleh Isaac foolishly uses the Qu’raan Shareef verses to distort the true understanding
He says, “Nabi Ibrahim Alaihis Salaam, you know his father was an idol maker but he still addressed his father with terms of endearment, because this man is making idols but he was addressed as ‘Ya Abati’. Ok Ok so your father is an idol worshipper, shouldn’t you address him for example: O you Mushrik”. Click on the moving circle for the audio to play:
Response:
Again due to his interfaith engagement, he has been stripped of the understanding of the Qur’aan Shareef and Ahaadith Mubaarakah. Allah Ta’alaa instructs us to be kind to parents. If they (Allah forbid) are Mushrikeen and are persuading us in that direction then we should not follow them nor should we be rude to them but still treat them with kindness. Allah Ta’alaa says:
وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا
But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but rather accompany them in this world with kindness
Surah Luqman 31:14-15
Again this distortion continues. At all the interfaith prayers, they speak of tolerance. Sayyiduna Ibrahim Alaihis Salaam did not tolerate his father’s worship of idols. Sayyiduna Ibrahim Alaihis Salaam instructed with Hikmah:
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَا أَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِي عَنكَ شَيْئًا
[Mention] when he said to his father, “O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?
Surah Maryam 19:42
Again clear cut invitations to Islam. No tolerance of Kufr:
يَا أَبَتِ إِنِّي قَدْ جَاءَنِي مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِكَ فَاتَّبِعْنِي أَهْدِكَ صِرَاطًا سَوِيًّا
O my father, indeed there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you, so follow me; I will guide you to an even path.
Surah Maryam 19:43
يَا أَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطَانَ ۖ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ عَصِيًّا
O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.
Surah Maryam 19:44
﴿يَا أَبَتِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَلِيًّا
O my father, indeed I fear that there will touch you a punishment from the Most Merciful so you would be to Satan a companion [in Hellfire].
Surah Maryam 19:45
The truth angered Sayyiduna Ibrahim Alaihis Salaam’s father, the Mushrik:
قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنْ آلِهَتِي يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ۖ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ لَأَرْجُمَنَّكَ ۖ وَاهْجُرْنِي مَلِيًّا
[His father] said, “Have you no desire for my gods, O Ibrahim? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time.”
Surah Maryam 19:46
As opposed to what interfaith demands, namely: unity, Sayyiduna Ibrahim Alaihis Salaam breaks away from this Kufr enviroment:
قَالَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ ۖ سَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّي ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِي حَفِيًّا
[Ibrahim Alaihis Salaam] said, “Salaamun Alaik. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Sustainer. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me.
Surah Maryam 19:47
This verse of the Qur’aan Shareef makes it clear that Sayyiduna Ibrahim ‘Alaihis Salaam broke away from all sorts of interfaith ideas:
وَأَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَأَدْعُو رَبِّي عَسَىٰ أَلَّا أَكُونَ بِدُعَاءِ رَبِّي شَقِيًّا
And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allah and will invoke my Sustainer. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Sustainer unhappy.”
Surah Maryam 19:48
Totally opposed to what Sheikh Saaleh Isaac had claimed and cooked up! Stay away from such people who are leading the Ummah to direct Kufr. How can a Muslim ever be pleased with such leaders? They distort and manipulate the Quraan Shareef and Ahaadith Mubaarakah for their agenda as you have seen above!
In shaa Allah, Allah Ta’alaa gives tawfeeq to respond to Molvi Ebrahim Bham’s promotions at this conference.
