Advice and Invitation for the Popes to (Accept)

Islaam By Ash-Shaikh Rabee’

In the
Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Giver of Mercy

All praise is due to Allaah, and may prayers of blessing and peace be
upon the Messenger of Allaah, and upon his family, his companions,
and whoever follows his guidance. Thus to proceed:

Indeed it has been broadcasted, and circulated in the media from the
broadcasts, newspapers, and internet sites, that the Pope of the
Vatican, Benedict the 16th, has verbally attacked Islaam and the
Messenger of Allaah, Muhammad (‘alayhis-salaatu was-salaam). He
has described Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), and his
message as being evil and harsh thinking! And this is a matter that is
amazing, startling, and contradictory to logic, intelligence, and the
reality of the pure Islaam. That is the Islaam that Allaah used to bring
humanity out of the darkness and into the light, and out of the
injustice of the religions and into the justice of Islaam, which is even
testified to by the intelligent people of its enemies. I will not prolong in
praising Islaam and the Messenger of Islaam, for indeed the world has
been filled with such praise, and the libraries are overflowing with it.
Therefore, I will summarize by saying:

Verily Muhammad is the really and truly the Messenger of Allaah.

Allaah sent him as a mercy to all the creation. He sent him as a bearer
of glad tidings, as a warner, and as a caller to Allaah, and as an
illuminating source of light.

He came with the matter of respecting the Prophets and their Books.
Rather, he came with the matter of loving them, believing in them,
and believing in their Books. Allaah, the Most High said: “The
Messenger (Muhammad) has believed in what was revealed to him
from his Lord, and so do the believers. All of them believe in Allaah,
and His Angels, and His Books (Scriptures), and His Messengers. We
do not separate between anyone from His Messengers.” [Al-
Baqarah:285] And Allaah, the Most High said, commanding
Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and his nation of followers:
“Say: We believe in Allaah, and what has been revealed to us, and
what was revealed to Ibraaheem, and Ismaa’eel, and Ishaaq, and
Ya’qoob, and the tribes, and what was given to Moosaa, and ‘Eesaa,
and what was given to the Prophets from their Lord. We do not
separate between anyone from them, and we submit to Him (Allaah)
as Muslims.” [Al-Baqarah:136] And Allaah, the Most High, said, “Say
(O Muhammad): We believe in Allaah, and what was revealed to us,
and what was revealed to Ibraaheem (Abraham), and Ismaa’eel
(Ishmail), and Ishaaq (Isac), and Ya’qoob (Jacob), and the tribes, and
what was given to Moosaa (Moses), and ‘Eesaa (Jesus), and the
Prophets from their Lord. We do not separate between anyone from
them, and we submit to Him (Allaah) as Muslims.” [Aal ‘Imraan:84]

Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) came with justice, and

kindness, and he prohibited lewdness, evil, and transgression. “Verily
Allaah commands justice, and kindness, and giving (charity) to the
relatives, and he forbids lewdness, evil, and transgression. He
admonishes you all so that perhaps you will remember.” [An-Nahl:90]
He (Muhammad) came with Jihaad (struggling for the cause of Allaah)
in order to raise the Word of Allaah, and to defeat the disbelief (Kufr),
associating partners with Allaah (Shirk), and corruption (Fasaad). And
indeed Moosaa (Moses) (‘alayhis-salaatu was-salaam) preceded him in
that, and the Prophets of the Children of Israa’eel did so as well after
Moosaa.

And he (Muhammad) came with the legislation of legal retaliation, and

capitol punishments in order to preserve the religion, the souls (i.e.
lives), the honors, and the wealth and possessions. And indeed
Moosaa (Moses) preceded him in that, and the Prophets of the
Children of Israa’eel did so as well after Moosaa. That is good,
righteousness, and a protection for the honors of the people and their
wealth, etc. It is also for the spreading of safety, security, and brining
about the benefits, as well as repelling the harmful things. And no one
describes Muhammad and his Message with evil, except a lying
disbeliever who also reviles Moosaa and his Message, and who reviles
the Prophets after Moosaa as well, who all judged and ruled according
to the Torah.

Allaah, the Most High, said, “Verily, We did send down the Taurât
(Torah) [to Moosaa (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by which
the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allâh’s Will, judged the
Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the
Taurât (Torah) after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the
protection of Allâh’s Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore
fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a
miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has
revealed, such are the Kaafiroon (i.e. disbelievers – of a lesser degree
as they do not act on Allâh’s Laws). And We ordained therein for them:
“A life for life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear,
a tooth for a tooth, and wounds equal for equal.” But if anyone remits
the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And
whosoever does not judge by that which Allâh has revealed, such are
the Thaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers – of a lesser degree).”
[Al-Maa’idah:44-45]

And The Most High said, “Let the people of the Injeel (Gospel) judge
by what Allâh has revealed therein. And whosoever does not judge by
what Allâh has revealed (then) such (people) are the Faasiqoon (the
rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree) to Allâh.” [Al-
Maa’idah:47]

And indeed the Jews and Christians disbelieved in the Torah and the
Gospel, so they do not act according to what these two Books contain
of beliefs and laws. And they rejected Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wa sallam), the one who came verifying the truthfulness of the
Prophets and their Books, from among them being the Torah and
Gospel (Injeel).

They disbelieved in Muhammad and what his Message contained of

belief in all of the Prophets, and belief in what was in the Torah and
the Gospel, and what they contained of beliefs and laws, except what
Islaam abrogated.

They (the Jews and Christians) waged war against him (Muhammad)
in the most severe way, especially their rabbis, monks, priests and
popes, due to their arrogance, pride, jealousy, and transgression after
they had changed their Books, and played around with the texts of the
Books, and distorted what was in those Books of beliefs, monotheism
(Tawheed), and faith (Eemaan), changing it to polytheism (Shirk),
disbelief, and rejecting what was in them of laws!!

So if this was their position regarding their Books which they claim to
have faith in, then how would it be difficult for them to disbelieve
Muhammad, and what he came with of the Qur’aan, which no
falsehood comes to it from before it nor after it?!

O People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), repent to Allaah with

sincere repentance, and follow Muhammad, whom your Scriptures
have given you the good news of his coming, as did ‘Eesaa (Jesus –
‘alayhis-salaatu was-salaam) where he said, “And (remember) when
‘Eesaa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: “O Children of Israel! I am
the Messenger of Allâh unto you confirming the Taurât [(Torah) which
came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after
me, whose name shall be Ahmad.” But when he (Ahmad, i.e.
Muhammad) came to them with clear proofs, they said: “This is plain
magic.” [As-Saff:6] “Say (O Muhammad): O people of the Scripture
(Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and
you, that we worship none but Allâh, and that we associate no
partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords
besides Allâh. Then, if they turn away, say: “Bear witness that we are
Muslims.”” [Aal ‘Imraan:64] “O people of the Scripture (Jews and
Christians): “Why do you mix truth with falsehood and conceal the
truth while you know?”” [Aal ‘Imraan:71] “Say: “O people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Why do you prevent those who have
believed, from the Path of Allâh, seeking to make it seem crooked,
while you (yourselves) are witnesses [to Muhammad as a Messenger
of Allâh and Islâm (Allâh's Religion, i.e. to worship none but Him
Alone)]? And Allâh is not unaware of what you do.”” [Aal ‘Imraan:99]

O you who is called Pope of the Vatican, accept Islaam, and you will be
safe. Allaah will reward you twice. But if you refuse, then the sin of
your followers from the European Christians, and other Christians who
are non-Europeans, will be upon you. Accept Islaam and the people of
your religion will be safe, and Allaah will enter you all into a Paradise
whose width is like the heavens and the earth, and it has been
prepared for those who are pious (Muttaqoon), the followers of the
truthful Messengers. Believe in this Mighty Qur’aan, which is the
master or protector over all of the (previous) messages (revelations,
scriptures), and it has come with the correct beliefs, and just laws that
are supported by proper reasoning and the sound nature.

Believe (O Pope)! You and your followers, in this Qur’aan which

contains what I have mentioned to you, and it has attained a level of
being miraculous which cannot be achieved by any material or
figurative miracle.

Allaah challenges the Jinns and the humans to bring something like it,
and they have not been able to produce its like. Rather, they have not
been able to produce even ten chapters like it. Rather, they have not
been able to produce even a single chapter like it. They have been
unable, unable, unable, even if they helped each other in the attempt.
In this alone is what would call the Popes and their followers to believe
if they had any portion of intelligence, reasoning, comprehension, and
fairness in thinking.

Accept Islaam, O you Popes, you will be safe, and you will have as
your reward a Paradise whose width is the heavens and the earth. If
you do not, then be assured that for you is the severe and eternal
punishment of a Fire that Allaah has prepared for the disbelievers. Its
heat is severe, and its depth is far (i.e. deep). Allaah, the Most High,
says in the Mighty Qur’aan, and His Most Wise Book, “Verily, We have
prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing
Fire.” [Insaan:4] And the Most High said in His Mighty Book, “And
leave Me Alone to deal with the deniers (those who deny My Verses,
etc.), and those who are in possession of good things of life. And give
them respite for a little while. Verily, with Us are fetters (to bind
them), and a raging Fire. And a food that chokes, and a painful
torment. On the Day when the earth and the mountains will be in a
violent shake, and the mountains will be a heap of sand poured out
and flowing down. Verily, We have sent to you (O men) a Messenger
(Muhammad) to be a witness over you, as We did send a Messenger
[Moosaa (Moses)] to Fir’aun (Pharaoh). But Fir’aun (Pharaoh)
disobeyed the Messenger [Moosaa (Moses)], so We seized him with a
severe punishment.” [Al-Muzzammil:11-16]

O you Popes, do not be deceived by the worldly life, and do not let the
Deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allaah. And know that verily your
predecessors distorted your books, and corrupted your religion, and
they made men gods besides Allaah, and they claimed that ‘Eesaa
(Jesus) was the son of Allaah, or the third of three (A trinity of divinity
with Allaah). Yet Allaah is far exalted above such a thing, in a most
tremendous way.

Allaah said in His Book, that is eternal, miraculous and preserved from
distortion and change, “Say (O Muhammad): He is Allâh, (the) One.
Allâh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need,
He neither eats nor drinks). He begets not, nor was He begotten; And
there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him.” [Al-Ikhlaas:1-4]

And the Most High said in this Magnificent, Miraculous Book, “Indeed
you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. Whereby the
heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the
mountains fall in ruins, That they ascribe a son (or offspring or
children) to the Most Beneficent (Allâh). But it is not suitable for (the
Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allâh) that He should beget a son (or
offspring or children). There is none in the heavens and the earth but
comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allâh) as a slave. Verily, He knows
each one of them, and has counted them a full counting. And everyone
of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection (without
any helper, or protector or defender).” [Maryam:89-95]

O People of the Book (Jews and Christians)! And O you Popes! Indeed
every Messenger came with pure monotheism (At-Tawheed), and they
waged war against polytheism (Ash-Shirk). And from among them was
‘Eesaa (Jesus – ‘alayhis-salaatu was-salaam). The Most High said,
“Surely, they have disbelieved who say: “Allâh is the Messiah ['Eesaa
(Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary).” But the Messiah ['Eesaa (Jesus)]
said: “O Children of Israel! Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord.”
Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allâh, then Allâh
has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for
the Thaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers) there are no helpers.”
[Al-Maa’idah:72]
Thus, he (Jesus – ‘alayhis-salaatu was-salaam) commanded the
worship of Allaah alone, and he made it clear that Allaah was his Lord,
and the Lord of those whom he was speaking to, and that he was sent
to them as a Messenger, and that whoever associated any partners
with Allaah, then indeed Allaah had made the Paradise forbidden for
such a person and his final abode would be in the Hell-Fire.

And Allaah, the Most High, said, “Surely, disbelievers are those who
said: “Allâh is the third of the three (in a Trinity).” But there is no ilâh
(god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilâh (God
-Allâh). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful
torment will befall the disbelievers among them.” [Al-Maa’idah:73]

So stop what you are doing O you Christians and Popes. Stop that
which Allaah has warned you against of deifying ‘Eesaa (Jesus), and
anything else besides him from the created things. And if you do not
stop, then you all are upon disbelief and polytheism, and the
recompense for that is that Allaah will make forbidden for you all the
Paradise, and He will make your final abode be the Hell-Fire.

Do not be deceived by that which you found your predecessors upon,

and your Popes, and your priests or monks. For verily I swear by
Allaah that they are upon falsehood and disbelief. Indeed they
distorted the Torah and the Gospel (Injeel) as I have mentioned to you
previously.

And do not think that ‘Eesaa (Jesus) will intercede for you or enter you
into the Paradise, and save you from the Hell-Fire, because that is
something that is not under his control. Because you all have opposed
him, and you have opposed his belief, the belief of pure monotheism
(At-Tawheed). And you all have taken him as a god, while he himself
rejects whoever does that, and he will disavow himself from you and
your misguidance, and your taking him and his mother as two gods
besides Allaah.
The Most High said, “And (remember) when Allâh will say (on the Day
of Resurrection): “O ‘Eesaa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you
say unto men: ‘Worship me and my mother as two gods besides
Allâh?’ ” He will say: “Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I
had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have
known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know
what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All Knower of all that is
hidden and unseen. Never did I say to them aught except what You
(Allâh) did command me to say: ‘Worship Allâh, my Lord and your
Lord.’ And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but
when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are
a Witness to all things. If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and
if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the All Mighty, the All
Wise.” [Al-Maa’idah:116-116]

So this is ‘Eesaa freeing himself of the beliefs (‘Aqeedah) of the

Christians, and their false belief regarding him and his mother, that
they are two deities besides Allaah. And he will make it clear before
Allaah that he did not command the people except with what His Lord
commanded him with. “Worship Allaah, my Lord and your Lord.” So
Allaah is his Lord, and the Lord of all the people. And it is impossible
that ‘Eesaa (Jesus) would claim for himself or his mother godship or
divinity, or that he would command the people to associate partners
with Allaah (i.e. worship anything other than Allaah).

Therefore, if you all reject what this message contains of realities, and
you dispute and argue regarding that, then verily I call you all to
invoke the curse of Allaah, just as Allaah commanded His truthful and
trustworthy Messenger (Muhammad) to do. Allaah said to him
(Muhammad – sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), “Then whoever disputes
with you concerning him ['Eesaa (Jesus)] after (all this) knowledge
that has come to you, [i.e. 'Eesaa (Jesus)] being a slave of Allâh, and
having no share in Divinity) say: (O Muhammad) “Come, let us call our
sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and
yourselves – then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allâh
upon those who lie.” [Aal ‘Imraan:61]

And for myself, and for every Muslim there is a good example in that,
with Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) (i.e. the Prophet
Muhammad did this before us regarding the lies of the Christians.).
And may peace be upon whoever follows the right guidance.
