As-salaam 'Alaykum Brother Khalid,
I believe you too have received the copies of Sheikh Abu-Abdullah's 'battles' with the Sudanese General about whom I wrote in one of my articles to be responsible for the Genocide in Darfur. Of course, you are very much aware of how our Sudanese brothers and sisters like Brother Mu'awiyah Abu-Anisah and Brother Uthman Ad-Dugri 'crucified' me before the Sheikh was forced to come in to my defense few years back. I doubt if the same brothers and sisters have not started their 'Fitnah' and so-called 'nationalism' already at the Awqaf following the distribution of the Sheikh's reprimanding of General Al-Dabi.
Meanwhile, as I was browsing through today my personal page at the Awqaf, I discovered a link leading through to the 'Options' page at EsinIslam.Com. The 'Options' page has been updated from that Audio Quran opening to a notification about our Sheikh Vs. the General. I waited no time to reach out to Brother Yahya who I suspected to have posted the extremely interesting involvement of the Sheikh. I could not catch up with brother Yahya. But I managed to get hold of Brother Hafiz with whom I had an amusing lengthy discussions about the circulations. It was brilliant. Earlier, I did speak with Brother Nurain. We both agreed it would be nice if you could post copies of Sheikh Adelabu Vs. the General Al-Dabi for your blog readers. I have been advised no permission is required as the content itself had been made public on EsinIslam and its affiliates because it revealed virtually nothing confidential or so personal.
Therefore, I am forwarding to you to pose here on your blog as follows:
Our Sheikh Abu-Abdullah
Adelabu Vs. Sudanese Syria's Arab League Envoy Lt.-Gen. Mohamed Ahmed
Mustafa Al-Dabi: "Should A Negro, A Muslim Negro Be A Slave Twice?"
Following Recent Contacts And Exchanges
Between Our Sheikh Abu-Abdullah Adelabu, A Ph. D Graduate From Syria and
Sudan's Lt.-Gen. Mohamed Ahmed Mustafa Al-Dabi, The Head Of The Arab League
Monitoring Mission To Syria As Well As Formal Correspondences Between The
Aides Of The Two Africans Since The General Was Appointed Last December
2011, EsinIslam Is Pleased To Make Available To Readers Our Sheikh’s
Knowledgeable Approaches Titled: “Should A Negro, A
Muslim Negro Be A Slave Twice?”. It's Extremely Important, Educative And Revealing - We
Promise. Though Ustadh Mousa Philips Has Mailed The Copies To The
Awqaf’s Registered Members Exclusively, For
EsinIslam And Muxlima ‘Registered
Users’, Copies Are Available Here
Upon A Written Request to
publicrelations@esinislam.com. The Hot Engagements Ranged From Syrian Streets To Darfur
Tents, From Saddam To Gaddafi, From Obama To Osama, From Sudan's Al-Basher
To Al-Asad (Whom The Sheikh Called The Tyrant Of Damascus Over 10 Times), From Queen Elizabeth Of Britain To King Abdullah Of Saudi
Arabia... The Exchanges Are Fascinating From Both Sides Whoever The Reader
Neutral Or Otherwise! The General Had Really Done His Homework, Quoting
Several Past Statements Of Our Sheikh Apparently From Arabic Sources
Including This: "One Better Defends King Abdullah As The Custodian Of The
Two Holy Lands Than To See Ahmadinejad (To Whom The Sheikh Referred As A Majousi Mushrik) Commander-In-Chief Of A Ruthless
Al-Rafidhi Army From Persia Invading
The Ka'bah". It's A Battle Between Wits Of A General And Intellects
Of A Scholar. Simply Unmissable.

Malcom X Replace “Negro”
With “Muslim” And It’s Applicable To Today
“This modern house Negro loves his master. He wants to
live near him. He’ll pay three times as much as the house is worth just to
live near his master, and then brag about ‘I’m the only Negro out here.’
‘I’m the only one on my job.’ ‘I’m the only one in this school.’ You’re
nothing but a house Negro. And if someone comes to you right now and says,
‘Let’s separate,’ you say the same thing that the house Negro said on the
plantation. ‘What you mean, separate? From America? This good white man?
Where you going to get a better job than you get here?’ I mean, this is what
you say. ‘I ain’t left nothing in Africa,’ that’s what you say. Why, you
left your mind in Africa. On that same plantation, there was the field
Negro. The field Negro — those were the masses. There were always more
Negroes in the field than there was Negroes in the house. The Negro in the
field caught hell. He ate leftovers. In the house they ate high up on the
hog. The Negro in the field didn’t get nothing but what was left of the
insides of the hog. They call ‘em ‘chitt’lin” nowadays. In those days they
called them what they were: guts. That’s what you were — a gut-eater. And
some of you all still gut-eaters. The field Negro was beaten from morning to
night. He lived in a shack, in a hut; He wore old, castoff clothes. He hated
his master. I say he hated his master. He was intelligent. That house Negro
loved his master. But that field Negro — remember, they were in the
majority, and they hated the master. When the house caught on fire, he
didn’t try and put it out; that field Negro prayed for a wind, for a breeze.
When the master got sick, the field Negro prayed that he’d die. If someone
come to the field Negro and said, ‘Let’s separate, let’s run,’ he didn’t say
‘Where we going?’ He’d say, ‘Any place is better than here.’ You’ve got
field Negroes in America today. I’m a field Negro. The masses are the field
Negroes. When they see this man’s house on fire, you don’t hear these little
Negroes talking about ‘our government is in trouble.’ They say, ‘The
government is in trouble.’ Imagine a Negro: ‘Our government’! I even heard
one say ‘our astronauts.’ They won’t even let him near the plant — and ‘our
astronauts’! ‘Our Navy’ — that’s a Negro that’s out of his mind. That’s a
Negro that’s out of his mind. Just as the slavemaster of that day used Tom,
the house Negro, to keep the field Negroes in check, the same old
slavemaster today has Negroes who are nothing but modern Uncle Toms, 20th
century Uncle Toms, to keep you and me in check, keep us under control, keep
us passive and peaceful and nonviolent. That’s Tom making you nonviolent.
It’s like when you go to the dentist, and the man’s going to take your
tooth. You’re going to fight him when he starts pulling. So he squirts some
stuff in your jaw called novocaine, to make you think they’re not doing
anything to you. So you sit there and ’cause you’ve got all of that
novocaine in your jaw, you suffer peacefully. Blood running all down your
jaw, and you don’t know what’s happening. ‘Cause someone has taught you to
suffer — peacefully. The white man do the same thing to you in the street,
when he want to put knots on your head and take advantage of you and don’t
have to be afraid of your fighting back. To keep you from fighting back, he
gets these old religious Uncle Toms to teach you and me, just like novocaine,
suffer peacefully. Don’t stop suffering — just suffer peacefully. As
Reverend Cleage pointed out, ‘Let your blood flow In the streets.’ This is a
shame. And you know he’s a Christian preacher. If it’s a shame to him, you
know what it is to me. There’s nothing in our
book, the Quran — you call it ‘Ko-ran’ — that teaches us to suffer
peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be
courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on
you, send him to the cemetery. That’s a good religion.”
Readers' Reactions And
Questions With Sheikh's Quotations From Responses
Why Did Sheikh Adelabu Get Engaged With A
General/Politician?
Some Of Our
Sheikh's Quotations:
“And We made from among them, leaders, giving guidance
under Our command, when they were patient and used to believe with certainty
in Our Aayaat.” [Q32:24]
"Allah (s.w.t.) will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge" [Q58:11]
"Allah (s.w.t.) testifies (to the core cause of Islam) that 'None has the right to be worship but He, and (so do testify) the angels, and those having knowledge (of the Qur'an and the Sunnah); maintaining His creation in Justice…" [Q3:18]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah (s.w.t.) has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. Another portion of it was hard and held the rainwater, with which Allah (s.w.t.) benefited the people. They utilised it for drinking, watering their animals and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. A portion of it was barren land, which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (so that land gave no benefit). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's religion, obtains benefit (from the knowledge) that Allah (s.w.t.) has revealed through me (the Prophet (s.a.w.)) and learns and then teaches others. The last example is that of a person who does not care for it and does not take Allah (s.w.t.) guidance revealed through me (he is like that barren land)."
[Reported by al Bukhari in his Book of Knowledge and Muslim in his Book of Knowledge]
Why Did The Sheikh Choose Religious
Reproaches For A General/Politician?"Allah (s.w.t.) will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge" [Q58:11]

[Reported by al Bukhari in his Book of Knowledge and Muslim in his Book of Knowledge]
Some Of Our Sheikh's Quotations:
"Say: 'This is my way; I invite unto Allah (s.w.t.) with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me with sure knowledge." [Q:12:108]
"Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching (based on sound knowledge), and argue (through sound knowledge) with them in a way that is better." [Q16:125]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "The world is cursed, and cursed is all what is in it except with worship and remembrance of Allah (s.w.t.), and except he who upholds to the worship of Allah (s.w.t.) and His remembrance or he who teaches about Allah (s.w.t.) or he who learn about Allah (s.w.t.)."
[Found in narrations of Abu Hurairah reported by at Tirmidhiy and by Ibn Majah (decleared Hsasan by at Tirmidhiy)]
Why Did The Sheikh Believe Religious Instructions Are What A General/Politician Needs?
Some Of Our Sheikh's Quotations:
"Whosoever rules not according to what Allah (s.w.t.) has sent down…they are the disbelievers…they are the wrongdoers…they are the transgressors." [Q5:44-47]
"It is not for any believing man or woman, when Allah (s.w.t.) and His Messenger (s.w.t.) have decided a matter, to have any choice for themselves in their affairs. For whoever rebels against Allah (s.w.t.) and His Messenger (s.w.t.) has gone astray into manifest error." [Q33:36]
"Mankind were one community and Allah (s.w.t.) sent Prophets (a.s.) with glad tidings and warnings and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed." [Q2:213]
"He who obeys the Messenger (s.w.t.) has indeed obeyed Allah (s.w.t.)." [Q4:80]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "I have left amongst you two things. You will not go astray as long as you hold to them: The Book of Allah (s.w.t.) and the Sunnah of His Messenger (s.w.t.)."
[Authentic Hadith reported by Malik in al Mawwata`, al Hakim declared Hassan in Albani's al Mishkat and Sahih ul Jami']
Ibn 'Abbas (r.a) said: "Whoever does not rule according to what Allah (s.w.t.) has sent down in the Qur'an and through tradition of the Prophet (s.a.w.) has committed a sin of disbelief".
[See Kishaf ul Qana' and Nail ul Awtar]
Who Initiated The Engagements?
The General Did Initiate Through His Aides, Seeking 'Dialogues' With Our Sheikh On Syria's Ongoing Crisis (Al-Asad's Crimes As The Sheikh Called It) And On The General's Roles In Darfur
Some Of Our Sheikh's Quotations:
"O you who believe! Obey Allah (s.w.t.) and obey the Messenger (s.w.t.) and those of you who are in authority. If you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah (s.w.t.) and His Messenger (s.w.t.), if you believ in Allah (s.w.t.) and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination." [Q4:59]
"Or have they partners with Allah (s.w.t.), who have instituted for them a religion which Allah (s.w.t.) has not allowed?" [Q42:12]
"But no, by Your Lord, they can have no (real) faith, until they make you judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against your decisions, and submit with the fullest conviction." [Q4:65]
"The answer of the believer, when summoned to Allah (s.w.t.) and His Messenger (s.w.t.), in order that he (the Prophet (s.w.t.)) may judge between them, is not other than this: they say, 'we hear and we obey'. It is such as these that will attain Success. It is those who obey Allah (s.w.t.) and His Messenger (s.w.t.), and fear Allah (s.w.t.), and keep their duty to Him, who will triumph." [Q:24:51-52]
“...then whoever follows My Guidance shall neither go astray, no fall into distress and misery. But whosoever turns away from My reminder verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.” [Q20:123-124]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) (s.a.w.) said: "Anyone who does an act which is not in agreement with us (i.e. Allah (s.w.t.) and His Messenger (s.w.t.)), then must be rejected"
[Reported by Muslim and Bukhari in his Book of as Sulh]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "He who obeys me enters paradise and he who disobeys me has refused (to enter paradise)"
[Found in Fatih ul Bari and other sources of al Bukhari's collections]
Imam Abu Hanifah (r.a.) said: "Anyone that does not know where (in sources of Islamic tenets) we take our judgement from is not suitable to accept our verdicts". Abu Hanifah also said: "When I give verdict contradicting the Book of Allah (s.w.t.) the Exalted or contradicting what is narrated from the Messenger (s.a.w.), then ignore my saying."
Imam Malik (r.a.) said: "Truly I am a mortal: (In giving verdicts on the basis of opinion) I make mistakes (sometimes) and I am correct (sometimes). Therefore, look into my opinions: all that agrees with the Book of Allah (s.w.t.) and the Sunnah of the Prophet (s.a.w.), accept it; and all that does not agree with the Book of allah (s.w.t.) and the Sunnah of the Prophet (s.a.w.), ignore it." Malik (r.a.) also said: "Everyone after the Prophet (s.a.w.) may have his sayings accepted and rejected - not so the Prophet (s.a.w.)….whoever rejects the Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w) is a Kafir (a disbeliever)."
Imam Shafi' (r.a.) said: "Whenever I voice my opinion, or formulate a principle, where something contrary to my view exist on the authority of the Messenger of Allah (s.w.t.), then the correct view is what the Messenger of Allah (s.w.t.) has said, and it is my view." Sahfi (r.a.) also said: "The Muslims unanimously agreed that if a Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (s.w.t.) is made clear to someone, it is not permitted for him to leave it for the saying of anyone else." Another famous statement of Shafi' (r.a.) reads: "If you see me saying something, and contrary to it is authentically reported from the Prophet (s.a.w.) then know that my intelligence has departed."
Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (r.a.) said: "You may not accept absolutely verdicts based on opinion, but whatever comes from the Prophet (s.a.w.) of Allah (s.w.t.) and his companions, take it absolutely." Ibn Hambal (r.a.) also said: "Whoever rejects a statement of the Messenger of Allah (s.w.t.) is on the brink of destruction."
How Diplomatic And 'Economic With Truth' Was The Sheikh Dealing With A Fearful Powerful General/Politician?
Some Of Our Sheikh's Quotations:
“The hypocrites both men and women, proceed one from another. They enjoin the wrong and forbid the right and they withhold their hands (from spending in the cause of Allah (s.w.t.)). They forget Allah (s.w.t.) so Allah (s.w.t.) has forgotten them. Lo! The hypocrites, they are the transgressors." [Q9:67]
“And who is better in speech than him who prays unto his Lord and does right, and says: Lo! I am of those who surrender unto Allah as a Muslim” [Q41:33]
"Do not incline to those who do wrong or the fire will seize you" [Q11:113]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "Whoever has the following characteristics will be a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one of them will possess a characteristic of hypocrisy until he gives it up. Whenever he speaks he lies. Whenever he promises he betrays. Whenever he makes a covenant he proves treacherous. Whenever he quarrels he is insulting."
[Reported by al Abukhari, Muslim, and an Nasa`i in Book of al Iman]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "Whoever possesses three things will find the sweetness of `Iman. For Allah (s.w.t.) and His Messenger (s.w.t.) to be more beloved to him than anything else. To love a person for Allah's sake alone. To hate to return to disbelief the way he hates to be thrown into the fire."
[Reported by al Bukhari and at Tirmidhiy in Book of al `iman]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) also said: "Whoever Allah wishes good for, He grants him the understanding of the religion, and I am Qasim (The Distributor) and Allah is Mu’ti (The Provider), and this Ummah will always remain upon the command of Allah and those who oppose them will be unable to harm them until the arrival of the command of Allah (the Day of Judgement)"
[Reported by al Bukhari in his Book of Knowledge and Muslim in his Book of Zakah]
'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud asserted: "Whoever aids a wrongdoer or taught an oppressor an argument to nullify right of an ordinary Muslim, had drawn upon himself the anger of Allah (s.w.t.)."
Didn't The Sheikh Fear He Might Be Made To Suffer For Some Of His Approaches By A Powerful General?
Some Of Our Sheikh's Quotations:
"You received your good things in your worldly life and you took your gratification out of them." [Q46:20]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "Whoever's worries were the afterlife, Allah (s.w.t.) puts richness in his heart. He corrects his affairs and the world will be compelled to come to him. But whoever's greatest worries were the world, Allah (s.w.t.) puts poorness in front of his eyes. His affairs are put in disarray, and no worldly gain will come to him except what has already been written for him"
[Hadith Hasan found in the Book of authenticity of al Albani reported by at Tirmidhiy in his Abwab uz Zuhd 2/288-289]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) also said: "Be content with what Allah (s.w.t.) allocates for you from provision and you will be the richest of people"
[Reported in Book of az Zuhd by at Tirmidhiy, Ahmad 2/310 in, Ibn Majah No. 4217]
"What is the world compared to the Afterlife except like one of you was to put his finger in a sea and see how much water it retains," said the Prophet (s.a.w.)
[Reported by Muslim in Book of al Jannah, at Tirmidhiy in Book of Zuhd, and Ibn Majah No. 4108]
"If the world meant as much as a wing of a mosquito to Allah (s.w.t.), he would not have let the non-believers take a drink of water from it", added the Prophet (s.a.w.)
[Declared in as Sahihat as reported by at Tirmidhiy in Book of az Zuhd]
The Forth Khalifa of Islam, Ali (r.a.a.) said: "The Afterlife came approaching; the world passed behind. So be the people of the Afterlife, not the people of the world. Since today there is action but no account, but tomorrow there will be accounting but no opportunity will be there to do any action."
[Malik Ibn Dinar (r.a.) said: "Whoever proposed to the world, then the world would not be satisfied until he gave up all his religion as dowry."]
What's The Sheikh's Business In Arab Affairs And Politics?
Some Of Our Sheikh's Quotations:
The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islâmic religion). So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allâh, that you may receive mercy. [Q49:9]
The believers, men and women, are Auliyâ' (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islâm has forbidden); they perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât) and give the Zakât, and obey Allâh and His Messenger. Allâh will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. [Q9:71]
"If two factions from among the believers fall into a quarrel, make peace between them; and if one of them transgresses against the other, then fight the one that transgresses until it complies with the Command of Allah." [Q49:10]
"There will be bad and evil things happening, and who wants to fragment this Ummah when it is all united, strike him by sword whoever he is." [Reported By Muslim]
How Could The Sheikh's Strike Such A Balanced Position In Arab National Crisis?
Some Of Our Sheikh's Quotations:
"Whoever honours the symbols of Allah (s.w.t.), such is from the hearts of piety" [Q22:32]
“The good deed and evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and you there has been enmity (will become) as though he is a bosom friend.” [Q41:34]
The Prophet said: “Indeed, the most beloved of you to me and the closest to me on the Day of Judgement are those with the best of manners, and the most detestable to me and furthest away from me on the Day of Judgement are the tharthaarun (gossip-mongers) and the mustashaddigun (ranters and ravers) and the mutafaihiqun. His companions said: “O messenger of Allah (s.t.a.) We know oftharthaarun and the mustashddiqun, so who are the mutafaihiqun?” He said: “The proud ones.”
[Reported by at Tirmidhiy in the Book of Raham was Silah, Ahmad in his Musnad, al Baghawi in His Sahih us Sunnah]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "Verily your blood, your wealth is sacred like the sacredness of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of your"
[The Farewell Speech of the Prophet (s.a.w.) found in Book of Hajj of Musli and in al Manaasik of Abu Daud]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) also said: "A Muslim is sacred to another Muslim, his blood, wealth and honour..."
[Reported in Book of az Zuhd by at Tirmidhiy, Ahmad 2/310]
"… Love for people what you love for yourself and you will be a better Muslim and do not increase in laughter about people because too much of it kills heart," said the Prophet (s.a.w.)
[Reported in Book of az Zuhd by at Tirmidhiy, Ahmad 2/310 in, Ibn Majah No. 4217]
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "Whoever wishes to be delivered from the Fire and enter the Paradise should die with faith in Allah and the Last Day and should treat the people as he wishes to be treated by them."
[Reported by Muslim in Book of Principality]

After resolving my issues with two of the senior students of our esteemed Sheikh, Brother Mousa Philips and Brother Yahya (John) Jofe, I, Nurain (Norman), and fellow student of the Sheikh, Brother Khalid (Kevin) Kofi are pleased to resume our writings and efforts to share our experiences here in the path of seeking as well as prorogating knowledge (inshaa Allahu). The issues which were regarding disputes with which some students and followers of the Sheikh engaged me as per my Tazkiyah (i.e. certification or recommendation) had led me
