Confessions of a British spy

Part 6B

Then he gave me a book of one thousand pages containing the results of the observations and projects carried out by the aforenamed five representative men in areas such as military, finance, education, and religion. He said, "Please read this book and return it to us." I took the book home with me. I read through it with utmost attention during my three-week holiday.

Part 6A

I stayed in Baghdad for a time. Then, receiving the message ordering me to return to London, I left. In London, I talked with the secretary and some officials of the Ministry. I told them of my activities and observations during my long mission. They rejoiced greatly at the information I gave about Iraq and said that they were pleased. On the other hand, Safiyya, the girl friend of Muhammad of Najd, sent a report agreeing with mine. I found out also that throughout my mission I had been followed by men from the Ministry. These men also sent reports concurrent with the reports I had sent and with the account I had given to the secretary.

PART 5B

The mausoleum of Ali the Amir-ul-Muminin was profusely decorated. It had a splendid yard, a gold-covered dome, and two tall minarets. Every day great numbers of Shiites visited this mausoleum. They performed namaz in jamaat in it. Every visitor first stooped in front of the threshold, kissed it, and then greeted the grave. They asked for permission and then entered. The mausoleum had a vast yard, which contained numerous rooms for men of religion and visitors.

PART 5A

It was on one of those days when Muhammad of Najd and I had become very intimate friends that I received a message from London ordering me to leave for the cities of Karbala and Najaf, the two most popular Shiite centers of knowledge and spirituality. So I had to put an end to my company with Muhammad of Najd and leave Basra. Yet I was happy because I was sure that this ignorant and morally depraved man was going to establish a new sect, which in turn would demolish Islam from within, and that I was the composer of the heretical tenets of this new sect.

He did not answer my question. I knew that he was convinced. I sensed that Muhammad of Najd desired a woman at that moment; he was single. I said to him, "Come on, let us each get a woman by mut'a nikah. We will have a good time with them. He accepted with a nod. This was a great opportunity for me, so I promised to find a woman for him to amuse himself. My aim was to ally the timidity he had about people. But he stated it a condition that the matter be kept as a secret between us and that the woman not even be told what his name was. I hurriedly went to the Christian women who had been sent forth by the Ministry of Colonies with the task of seducing the Muslim youth there. I explained the matter to one of them. She accepted to help, so I gave her the nickname Safiyya. I took Muhammad of Najd to her house. Safiyya was at home, alone. We made a one-week marriage contract for Muhammad of Najd, who gave the woman some gold in the name of "Mahr." Thus we began to mislead Muhammad of Najd, Safiyya from within, and I from without.

[Firstly, false justification of any benevolent law to serve satanic purposes is a very easy thing to do, but it can only harm those who submit to satanic desires themselves.

Secondly, we have a question from such so-called Christian women; do these women consider being used in such manners, freedom?! This is nothing but mere slavery. We invite our Christian sisters to take another profound look at the concept of freedom; a freedom which actually serves other people's satanic intentions and desires, is not freedom, rather it is the slavery of those people, but serving and obeying the most Compassionate and Benevolent Allah who needs nothing for Himself, is the true freedom.]

PART 4B

I established a very intimate friendship with Muhammad bin Abd-ul-wahhab of Najd. I launched a campaign of praising him everywhere. One day I said to him:

"You are greater than 'Umar and 'Ali. If the Prophet were alive now, he would appoint you as his Khalifa instead of them. I expect that Islam will be renovated and improved in your hands. You are the only scholar who will spread Islam all over the world."

PART IV-A

When I arrived in Basra, I settled in a mosque. The imam of the mosque was a Sunnite person of Arabic origin named Shaikh 'Umar Tai. When I met him I began to chat with him. Yet he suspected me at the very beginning and subjected me to a shower of questions. I managed to survive this dangerous chat as follows:

"I am from Turkey's Igdir region. I was a disciple of Ahmad Effendi of Istanbul. I worked for a carpenter named Khalid." I gave him some information about Turkey, which I had acquired during my stay there. Also, I said a few sentences in Turkish. The imam made an eye signal to one of the people there and asked him if I spoke Turkish correctly. The answer was positive. Having convinced the imam, I was very happy. Yet I was wrong. For a few days later, I saw to my disappointment that the imam suspected that I was a Turkish spy. Afterwards, I found out that there was some disagreement and hostility between him and the governor appointed by the (Ottoman) Sultan.

My friends had returned to London before I did and they had already received new commands from the Ministry. I, too, was given new commands upon returning. Unfortunately, only six of us were back. One of the other four people, the secretary said, had become a Muslim and remained in Egypt. Yet the secretary was still glad because, he said, he (the person who had remained in Egypt) had not betrayed any secrets. The second one had gone to Russia and remained there. He was Russian in origin. The secretary was very sorry about him, not because he had gone back to his homeland, but because perhaps he had been spying on the Ministry of Colonies for Russia and had gone back home because his mission had been over. The third one, as the secretary related, had died of plague in a town named "Imara" in the neighborhood of Baghdad. The fourth person had been traced by the Ministry up to the city of San'a in the Yaman and they had received his reports for one year, and thereafter his reporting had come to an end and no trail of him had been found despite all sorts of efforts. The Ministry put down the disappearance of these four men as a catastrophe. For we are a nation with great duties versus a small population. We therefore do very fine calculations on every man.

In the Hijri year 1122, C.E. 1710, the Minister of Colonies sent me to Egypt, Iraq, Hijaz and Istanbul to act as a spy and to obtain information necessary and sufficient for the breaking up of Muslims. The Ministry appointed nine more people, full of agility and courage, for the same mission and at the same time. In addition to the money, information and maps we would need, we were given a list containing names of statesmen, scholars, and chiefs of tribes. I can never forget! When I said farewell to the secretary, he said, "The future of our State is dependent on your success. Therefore you should exert your utmost energy."

Memoirs of Mr. Hempher, the British spy to the Middle East is the title of a historical document which its surviving parts, were published in series (episodes) in the German paper 'Spiegel', and later on in a prominent French paper. A Lebanese doctor translated the document to the Arabic language and from there on it was translated to English and other languages.

This document reveals the true background of a Sunni sect invented in the early eighteenth century A.D., called the Wahhabi movement which was innovated by Mohammad Bin Abdul Wahhab and explains the numerous falsehood they have spread in the name of Islam and exposes their role of enmity towards the religion of Islam and towards Muslims at large; interestingly, it has been documented that Mohammad Bin Abdul Wahhab was descended from a Jewish family … .

The Wahhabists are ruling over Saudi Arabia right now, and the Taliban (Taalebaan) and the likes of Osama bin Laden (Laaden) are their illegitimate offspring.

The French's and German's intentions for exposing their British counterparts may have been due to their inner competition for gaining the most control over Muslims, not to mention the boasting, skepticism-arousing and suspicion-causing intentions of the arrogant British, (of course those who intentionally wish to harm others in order to gain more of this transient world, and not the regular unaware people -who incidentally, must become aware-), or whatever their intentions may be; in any case, the Muslims are advised to sincerely, patiently and steadfastly strive toward unity by CLINGING TO THE ROPE OF ALLAH -Qur'an and the AhlulBayt (PBUT), that as declared by Qur'an [3:103 {And cling all together to the Rope of Allah … .}, 3:112 {Ignominy shall be upon them wheresoever they are found, save (where they cling to) a Rope from Allah and a Rope from men … .}, …] and as declared by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) [Hadith Thaqalain {Surely I am leaving among you two weighty things, the Book Of Allah and my AhlulBayt; and if you cling to them both, you shall NEVER go astray after me; and certainly those two are absolutely INSEPARABLE until they shall enter to me by the Hawd (the Pool of Abundance in Heaven).}, … Shi'ah documents: Behaar-Ol-Anwaar, Wasaa'el-O-Shi'ah, …; Sunni documents: Saheeh Moslem, Sonan Termadhi, …], are absolutely not to be considered separated from one another until the Judgment Day-. And therefore, Muslims are to be aware, intelligent and cautious.

Value of human – II

In the first part of this writing, "Value of human - I", we mentioned that -based on Qur'an- "Taqwa" is the only factor by which humans may be categorized, and we briefly defined the meaning of Taqwa from Qur'an. Here we wish to look at another celestial verse from Qur'an:

…THIS IS IT AND NOTHING BUT THIS, Allah only accepts from the Mottaqin (those with Taqwa).

(Qur'an, Surah Maa'edah, verse 27)

Value of human – I

In going through the pages of human history, we observe that factors such as race, color, nationality, ... have caused separation within human societies. It is interesting that Qur'an indicates that it should be exactly the opposite:

O' people! Surely We have created you from one male and one female, and We have set you, tribes and branches, so that you get to know each other… .

(Qur'an, Surah Hojaraat, verse 13)

Aim of creation - I

The subject of “Aim of creation” is a frequently thought about matter by intellectuals. The only reasons for existence of humankind which human schools of thoughts have presented, are eating, sleeping, working, enjoying, … to dying, -i.e. living and existing to leaving this world and not existing- and even the aim of all scientific discoveries is defined, for better living and leaving; in another words, human schools of thoughts have limited the aim of existence to this world, because they consider human, a completely terrestrial and mortal being, not a celestial one.

Noah Ark 3

When the Prophet Noah’s (PBUH) son was about to drown, Noah implored Allah to save his son but Allah responded that Noah’s son was not his Ahl, and the son was drowned (Qur’an, Surah Hoode, Verses 45&46) . The word Ahl in Arabic, sometimes means family but the more general meaning of this word is, the adherents of something or somebody; for instance, the Ahl-Ol-Haq means the adherents of the Truth. While Noah’s son was a member of Noah’s family, but he was not an adherent of Noah as the Prophet of Allah; therefore Noah’s son, just like the rest of the people who had done wrong, was not saved from the Flood and was drowned. In another words, if a member of a Prophet’s family disobeys the Prophet of Allah and does wrong, he/she is not considered the Ahl of that Prophet, even though he/she is a member of that Prophet’s family.

Noah Ark 2

On the face of People’s disobedience, the Prophet Noah (PBUH) implored Allah for help and Allah allowed the waters of the earth and the sky to create the Great Flood (Qur’an, Surah Qamar, verses 9 to 12).

By Allah’s command, Noah (PBUH) had already -in the midst of people’s mocking for he was building a ship in the dry land- built the Ark (Qur’an, Surah Hoode, verses 37 & 38).

Noah Ark 1

Qur'an clearly indicates that those who did not join the Noah Ark, were drowned; Allah revealed to Noah:

(O' Noah!)And make the Ark before Our Eyes and (according to) Our Revelation, and do not speak to Me in respect of those who are unjust; surely they shall be drowned.

(Qur'an, Surah Hood, verse 37)

From Hell to Eternity of Aashoora - Part 5

Qur’an in Surah Roome, verse 30, indicates that all human beings have been created based on a Divine creation and nature (Fetrah) and this verse emphasizes that, this Divine creation and Fetrah is absolutely unchangeable. This is a significant and profound statement; as narrations from Mohammad and his progeny (PBUT) also confirm, all humans are born Believers. It is the parents, in general the society, that paints a color of doubt and disbelief over the pure hearts of children. This verse of Qur’an offers tremendous hope to every one; this verse is saying that all of us are true believers in the bottom of our hearts, no matter how dark our hearts may have become, no matter how far from Allah our souls may have gotten, there is still hope; because our tears of repentance and our sincere acts can wash away the colors of doubt and disbelief and let the Divinely bestowed diamond of belief, shine again.

From Hell to Eternity of Aashoora - Part 4

As Horr got closer to Imam Hossain’s (PBUH) camp, he turned his shield upside down; the Imam’s companions realized that Horr had chosen the freedom of being his Compassionate Creator’s slave rather than the slavery of being free to sin; they realized that he was guided to the Eternal bliss and saved from the everlasting Fire. Yes, Horr had become a servant of his Benevolent Lord, rather than a servant of selfish lords; such a magnificent moment, it was… .

From Hell to Eternity of Aashoora - Part 3

From Kufah, a top officer of Obaidullah son of Zyyaad named Omar son of sa’d, along with over 4000 soldiers, arrived in Karbala, and Horr and his men went under his command; as days passed, the number of soldiers grew to tens of thousands. O’ my Lord! You only know, how I wished that I could swallow them and place my dirt over them and prevent them from what they were planning to do… .

On the 7^th of Moharram, Omar son of sa’d ordered his men to close the waterway to the Euphrates river -which Hossain and his companions had access to- and therefore, the supply of water was cut off from Imam Hossain (PBUH) and his companions!

The sun was shining above me and the heat was burning my shoulders… .From the beginning, I have been -patiently and firmly- keeping the secrets of humankind in my heart; Ah! How hard has it been to wait and Anticipate; every time that I have wished to swallow human race for things they have done, the gentle foot steps of the chosen-ones on my shoulders, reminded me that I had to wait and Anticipate… .

I was sure about my decision to revert, but scared at the prospect at the same time, conflicting emotions and feelings taking it in turns to pop into my head, but all along I knew that Truth would win...
