[New Religion in the Name of Abrahamic Faith: An Intellectual Fitna (Discord)]
In the world today, there are thousands of religions, beliefs, and sects, the counting of which is also difficult. Every follower of a religion considers their religion to be true, complete, and superior, and based on this belief, most people are ready to cross any limit, whether it is the loss of human lives, the destruction of global peace, the act of making children orphans and women widows, or snatching the peace of elderly parents...
But Islam, which is the religion revealed by Allah, its holy book, the Holy Quran, declares in explicit words:
وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ
Translation: And do not kill a soul that Allah has forbidden, except with due cause...
This command is not only for Muslims, but also a message of protection for all humanity. The Holy Quran repeatedly prohibits killing and corruption, oppression and injustice, and incitement to discord. The principle of Islam is that saving the life of one human being is like saving all of humanity...
What is the Abrahamic Faith?
Now we come to a new conspiracy, which is being introduced as the Abrahamic Faith Initiative. The foundation of this project was laid globally in the past few years, especially when former US President Donald Trump visited Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and other Muslim countries...
Apparently, this looks like unity, but in reality, its purpose was to bring Islam on par with other religions and form a common new religion, so that Muslims, Christians, and Jews would start believing in the same faith, and this new religion was named the Abrahamic Faith...
How was the foundation of this project laid?
Donald Trump, in a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, suggested that since Muslims believe in Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Christians believe in Prophet Isa (Jesus) peace be upon him, and Jews believe in Prophet Musa (Moses) peace be upon him, and all these prophets are from the lineage of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) peace be upon him, then why not create a faith that unites the followers of Abrahamic religions?
Trump said that Hazrat Ismail (Ishmael) peace be upon him and Hazrat Ishaq (Isaac) peace be upon him are both sons of Hazrat Ibrahim (Abraham) peace be upon him, and in this regard, Muslims, Christians, and Jews can be called Abrahamic brothers...
Because Hazrat Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is from the progeny of Ismail...
And Hazrat Musa and Isa (peace be upon them) are from the Children of Israel (Hazrat Dawood - David peace be upon him), so both should be combined and an Abrahamic religion should be created...
Apparently, this project talks about peace and brotherhood, but in reality, it is an attack on the faith of Muslims, the finality of prophethood, and the uniqueness of Islam...
Alhamdulillah Thumma Alhamdulillah: Muhammad bin Salman clearly rejected this proposal. Not only Saudi Arabia, but most Muslim countries rejected this project because it contradicts the basic beliefs of the religion of Islam...
But unfortunately: A few countries like the United Arab Emirates (Dubai and Abu Dhabi) supported this project, and as a practical step, in 2020, they inaugurated a building in Abu Dhabi called the Abrahamic Family House, in which a mosque, a church, and a Jewish synagogue were built in the same place so that followers of all three religions can worship in one place...
Not only this, but an Abrahamic camp has also been established in the UAE on a regular basis.
This camp, which is briefly called AFI, is also active in the United States, especially on platforms like UAI (United Abrahamic Initiative), where efforts are being made to unify beliefs in the name of interfaith dialogue...
These projects are contrary to Islamic teachings. Muslims believe in Allah, His messengers, and His books, but consider Islam to be the complete religion...
إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الْإِسْلَامُ
Translation: Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam...
In fact, this new Abrahamic faith is an internal discord (fitna) whose purpose is to mix the religion of Islam with other religions, weaken the beliefs of Muslims, and intellectually paralyze the Muslim Ummah...
This project is gradually affecting Muslim educational institutions, media, culture, and even religious leaders. Some enlightened Muslims have fallen for this deception. May Allah protect Muslims from this discord, Ameen...
Our position as Muslims:
As Muslims, Ahl-e-Sunnat wal Jama'at, Maslak Hanafi, we clearly oppose this belief and even the slightest hint of it. No compromise is possible on the uniqueness of Islam, the finality of prophethood of its last Prophet ﷺ, and the comprehensiveness of the Quran... اللهم أرنا الحق حقا وارزقنا اتباعه، وأرنا الباطل باطلا وارزقنا اجتنابه...Ameen Ya Rabb al-Alameen bi jah al-Nabi al-Kareem.
