Third:
His lies and deceptions:
There
are many examples that show Al-Tijani’s lies, deceptions, and frauds in his
books:
Al-Tijani says in his book ‘Shia are Ahl
Al-Sunnah,’ “As we have already indicated, those who call themselves
"Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jama`a" are the ones who believe in the legitimacy
of the four "righteous caliphs," namely Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and
Ali. Everyone knows this in our time. But the sad fact is that Ali ibn Abu Talib
was not originally counted by "Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jama`ah" among the
"righteous caliphs;" they did not even recognize the legitimacy of his
caliphate; rather, his name was added to the list at a very late time in
history: in 230 A.H./844 A.D., during the lifetime of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal. As
for the sahaba who were not Shi`as, as well as the caliphs, kings, and
princes who ruled the Muslims from the time of Abu Bakr and till the reign of
the Abbaside caliph Muhammad ibn al-Rasheed al-Mu`tasim, they never recognized
the caliphate of Ali ibn Abu Talib at all. Moreover, some of them used to curse
him and regard him non-Muslim; otherwise, how did they justify cursing him from
their pulpits?!” [Shia Are Ahl Al-Sunnah, p.45]
He also says, “…we have
said that "Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jama`ah" refused to recognize the
legitimacy of Ali's caliphate till many years after Ahmad ibn Hanbal. It is
true that Ahmad ibn Hanbal was the first person to promote this notion, but he
could not convince the scholars of hadith, as we have pointed out to
adopt his view due to their following in the footprints of Abdullah ibn Umar.”
[Shia Are Ahl Al-Sunnah, p.48-49]
It is a great lie and slander
against Ahl Al-Sunna when Al-Tijani claims that Ahl Al-Sunnah did not recognized
the Caliphate of Ali and did not admit its legitimacy, but only way after the
time of Ahmad bin Hanbal and that the Companions were like that and some
attributed kufr to Ali! To love Ali may Allah be pleased at him, and to
believe the legitimacy of his leadership after the first three Righteously
Guided caliphs – where he is the fourth – is of unanimous agreement between
Ahl Al-Sunnah in all the times and places, from the time of the Companions to
our time. This matter is so famous that it is taken for granted where no one
argues about it save for a very ignorant person or a big time liar.
Then Al-Tijani also lies when he claims that some soldiers had hit some
pilgrims in Medina, “I visited al-Baqee Cemetery once, and while I was calling
for mercy upon the souls of Ahl al-Bayt, I noticed an old man standing near me
crying, and because of that I realized he was a Shii. He positioned himself
towards the Kaba and started to pray, and suddenly a soldier rushed towards him,
as if he had been monitoring his moves, and kicked him while he was in a
position of prostration. The man fell on his back unconscious, then the soldier
started beating him and cursing him. I felt so sorry for the old man and thought
he might have been killed and so I shouted at the soldier, ‘You must not do
that! Why did you beat him while he was praying?’ He rebuked me and said,
‘You be quiet and do not interfere, or else I will do to you what I have just
done to him!’” [Then I Was Guided, p.82]
His lies are obvious from his sentences. Anyone
who visited Makkah or Al-Medina as a pilgrim or a visitor – and they are many,
in millions – they all witness and notice what the pilgrims and visitors
receive, i.e. security, physiological and emotional comfort and prominent
services. All of the manpower that is available is used to make life easier for
the pilgrims and visitors. Where does all that stand from what Al-Tijani claims?
As if Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi became a political fort where people get beaten and
kicked! Why Al-Tijani is lying if he is truly looking for truth and speaks the
truth??
