This is for anyone of the faith of Islam, my brothers, as men and reverent ones,

trying always to do what is right. This is for you because my heart seeks compa
ssion and mercy. Because men are limited in understanding, and follow other men
who proclaim to be more understanding then them. We are all equal, and you have
been led astray. Please, I beg you, read this, and gain understanding.
Sura 14:4
And We never sent a messenger save with the language of his folk, that he might
make (the message) clear for them. Then Allah sendeth whom He will astray, and g
uideth whom He will. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
"So then, Arabic was only one of many languages acceptable, and even though a ma
n does not know it, he may be being led astray, no matter how devout he may be."
Sura 6:39
Those who deny Our revelations are deaf and dumb in darkness. Whom Allah will se
ndeth astray, and whom He will He placeth on a straight path.
"So then, do not deny the truth of what the Qur'an teaches, that you can be led
astray by Allah, even if you do not realise it. Even to your understanding of t
he prophet."
Sura 16:93
Had Allah willed He could have made you (all) one nation, but He sendeth whom He
will astray and guideth whom He will, and ye will indeed be asked of what ye us
ed to do.
"So then, Allah does NOT will that all become one nation? So then, those in unit
y are the truth, and those in disorder are led astray? Or is the world to be for
ever divided?"

Narrated Zaid bin Thabit Al-Ansari:
who was one of those who used to write the Divine Revelation: Abu Bakr sent for
me after the (heavy) casualties among the warriors (of the battle) of Yamama (wh
ere a great number of Qurra' were killed). 'Umar was present with Abu Bakr who s
aid, 'Umar has come to me and said, The people have suffered heavy casualties on
the day of (the battle of) Yamama, and I am afraid that there will be more casu
alties among the Qurra' (those who know the Qur'an by heart) at other battle-fie
lds, whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost, unless you collect it. And
I am of the opinion that you should collect the Qur'an." Abu Bakr added, "I said
to 'Umar, 'How can I do something which Allah's Apostle has not done?' 'Umar sa
id (to me), 'By Allah, it is (really) a good thing.' So 'Umar kept on pressing,
trying to persuade me to accept his proposal, till Allah opened my bosom for it
and I had the same opinion as 'Umar." (Zaid bin Thabit added:) Umar was sitting
with him (Abu Bakr) and was not speaking. me). "You are a wise young man and we
do not suspect you (of telling lies or of forgetfulness): and you used to write
the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Apostle. Therefore, look for the Qur'an and c
ollect it (in one manuscript). " By Allah, if he (Abu Bakr) had ordered me to sh
ift one of the mountains (from its place) it would not have been harder for me t
han what he had ordered me concerning the collection of the Qur'an. I said to bo
th of them, "How dare you do a thing which the Prophet has not done?" Abu Bakr s
aid, "By Allah, it is (really) a good thing. So I kept on arguing with him about
it till Allah opened my bosom for that which He had opened the bosoms of Abu Ba
kr and Umar. So I started locating Quranic material and collecting it from parch
ments, scapula, leaf-stalks of date palms and from the memories of men (who knew
 it by heart). I found with Khuzaima two Verses of Surat-at-Tauba which I had no
t found with anybody else, (and they were):--
"Verily there has come to you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves. It
grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty He (Muhammad) is ar
dently anxious over you (to be rightly guided)" (9.128)
The manuscript on which the Quran was collected, remained with Abu Bakr till All
ah took him unto Him, and then with 'Umar till Allah took him unto Him, and fina
lly it remained with Hafsa, Umar's daughter.
"And if Allah would lead a whole people astray by what seems right in their own
eyes, what is that? Mercy? Righteousness? If one man failed to relate words, or
one man's memory was faulty in even the least, would not the Qur'an be tainted?
What if all these writings compiled were just that, writings of men, and not th
e words of the prophet? If one man said one thing false to alter the words, the
whole of it is wrong. And what about those who had already died? What portions w
ere already lost? Is it not possible Allah changed his mind and wanted it all to
fade away? If you believe, can not Allah do whatever he wills?"
Sahih Bukhari Vol.9 Bk.89 #301
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
Abu Bakr sent for me owing to the large number of casualties in the battle of Al
-Yamama, while 'Umar was sitting with him. Abu Bakr said (to me), 'Umar has come
to my and said, 'A great number of Qaris of the Holy Quran were killed on the d
ay of the battle of Al-Yamama, and I am afraid that the casualties among the Qar
is of the Quran may increase on other battle-fields whereby a large part of the
Quran may be lost. Therefore I consider it advisable that you (Abu Bakr) should
have the Qur'an collected.' I said, 'How dare I do something which Allah's Apost
le did not do?' 'Umar said, By Allah, it is something beneficial.' 'Umar kept on
pressing me for that till Allah opened my chest for that for which He had opene
d the chest of 'Umar and I had in that matter, the same opinion as 'Umar had." A
bu Bakr then said to me (Zaid), "You are a wise young man and we do not have any
suspicion about you, and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah's A
postle. So you should search for the fragmentary scripts of the Quran and collec
t it (in one Book)." Zaid further said: By Allah, if Abu Bakr had ordered me to
shift a mountain among the mountains from one place to another it would not have
been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Qur'an. Then I said (t
o 'Umar and Abu Bakr), "How can you do something which Allah's Apostle did not d
o?" Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, it is something beneficial." Zaid added: So he (Ab
u Bakr) kept on pressing me for that until Allah opened my chest for that for wh
ich He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and I had in that matter, th
e same opinion as theirs.
So I started compiling the Quran by collecting it from the leafless stalks of th
e date-palm tree and from the pieces of leather and hides and from the stones, a
nd from the chests of men (who had memorized the Quran). I found the last verses
of Sirat-at-Tauba: ("Verily there has come unto you an Apostle (Muhammad) from
amongst yourselves--' (9.128-129) ) from Khuzaima or Abi Khuzaima and I added to
it the rest of the Sura. The manuscripts of the Quran remained with Abu Bakr ti
ll Allah took him unto Him. Then it remained with 'Umar till Allah took him unto
Him, and then with Hafsa bint 'Umar.
"The whole of the Qur'an was intrusted to a woman. Yet by your own belief women
are inferior to the man. They did what Muhammad didn't do himself. They did wha
t Muhammad NEVER ordered done. Then the whole of it was under the care of Umar's
daughter, and how old was she? Does this make sence to you?"
Sura 18:110
Say: I am only a mortal like you. My Lord inspireth in me that your God is only
One God. And whoever hopeth for the meeting with his Lord, let him do righteous
 work, and make none sharer of the worship due unto his Lord.
"So then, are you as a Moslim, still convinced that you must convert all of huma
nity to Islam? Even when Allah may be leading you stray? And was Muhammad infal
lable or just as limited as all men in his understanding?"
Sura 41:6
Say (unto them O Muhammad): I am only a mortal like you. It is inspired in me th
at your God is One God, therefor take the straight path unto Him and seek forgiv
eness of Him. And woe unto the idolaters,
"So then, is Muhammad mortal and limited, and what is the strait path if Allah c
an lead astray, anyone he wishes, even if they are upright? Could not Muhammad h
imself have been led stray by a demon in a cave that forced him to spread a fals
e revelation?"
Sura 4:89
They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon
a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their ho
mes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill t
hem wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,
"So then, because I believe these statements are true, and memorize them, shall
I be killed for warning you that Allah is leading you stray as he has done to so
many throughout all of time? What is this being you so reverently follow?"
Sura 8:12
When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who be
lieve stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. The
n smite the necks and smite of them each finger.
"So then, if you fear what I am saying, could this thing be from Allah, to smite
you himself for your insolence and unbelief of what Muhammad related to you abo
ut being led stray?"
Sahih Bukhari Vol.4 Bk.53 #370
Narrated Abu Qatada:
We set out in the company of Allah's Apostle on the day (of the battle) of Hunai
n. When we faced the enemy, the Muslims retreated and I saw a pagan throwing him
self over a Muslim. I turned around and came upon him from behind and hit him on
the shoulder with the sword He (i.e. the pagan) came towards me and seized me s
o violently that I felt as if it were death itself, but death overtook him and h
e released me. I followed 'Umar bin Al Khattab and asked (him), "What is wrong w
ith the people (fleeing)?" He replied, "This is the Will of Allah," After the pe
ople returned, the Prophet sat and said, "Anyone who has killed an enemy and has
a proof of that, will posses his spoils." I got up and said, "Who will be a wit
ness for me?" and then sat down. The Prophet again said, "Anyone who has killed
an enemy and has proof of that, will possess his spoils." I (again) got up and s
aid, "Who will be a witness for me?" and sat down. Then the Prophet said the sam
e for the third time. I again got up, and Allah's Apostle said, "O Abu Qatada! W
hat is your story?" Then I narrated the whole story to him. A man (got up and) s
aid, "O Allah's Apostle! He is speaking the truth, and the spoils of the killed
man are with me. So please compensate him on my behalf." On that Abu Bakr As-Sid
diq said, "No, by Allah, he (i.e. Allah's Apostle ) will not agree to give you t
he spoils gained by one of Allah's Lions who fights on the behalf of Allah and H
is Apostle." The Prophet said, "Abu Bakr has spoken the truth." So, Allah's Apos
tle gave the spoils to me. I sold that armor (i.e. the spoils) and with its pric
e I bought a garden at Bani Salima, and this was my first property which I gaine
d after my conversion to Islam.
Sahih Muslim #4340
Abu Qatada reported: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah (my peace be upon
him) on an expedition in the year of the Battle of Hunain. When we encountered
the enemy, (some of the Muslims turned back (in fear). I saw that a man from the
polytheists overpowered one of the Muslims. I turned round and attacked him fro
m behind giving a blow between his neck and shoulder. He turned towards me and g
rappled with me in such a way that I began to see death staring me in the face.
Then death overtook him and left me alone. I joined 'Umar b. al-Khattab who was
saying: What has happened to the people (that they are retreating)? I said: It i
s the Decree of Allah. Then the people returned. (The battle ended in a victory
for the Muslims) and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sat down (to
distribute the spoils of war). He said: One who has killed an enemy and can bri
ng evidence to prove it will get his belongings. So I stood up and said: Who wil
l give evidence for me? Then I sat down. Then he (the Holy Prophet) said like th
is. I stood up (again) and said: Who will bear witness for me? He (the Holy Prop
het) made the same observation the third time, and I stood up (once again). Now
the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: What has happened to you, O
Abu Qatada? Then I related the (whole) story, to him. At this, one of the peopl
e said: He has told the truth. Messenger of Allah 1 The belongings of the enemy
killed by him are with me. Persuade him to forgo his right (in my favour). (Obje
cting to this proposal) Abu Bakr said: BY Allah, this will not happen. The Messe
nger of Allah (may peace be upon him) will not like to deprive one of the lions
from among the lions of Allah who fight in the cause of Allah and His Messenger
and give thee his share of the booty. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace he up
on him) said: He (Abu Bakr) has told the truth, and so give the belongings to hi
m (Abu Qatada). So he gave them to me. I sold the armour (which was a part of my
share of the booty) and bought with the sale proceeds a garden in the street of
Banu Salama. This was the first property I acquired after embracing Islam.
In a version of the hadith narrated by Laith, the words uttered by Abu Bakr
are:" No, never! He will not give it to a fox from the Quraish leaving aside a l
ion from the lions of Allah among...." And the hadith is closed with the words:"
The first property I acquired."
"So if a man kills, even though Allah's will is to lead astray, then you have ob
tained spoils in folly. Fear and terror are not mercy. Killing another Mosilm of
a different sect has no difference. Where is the mercy in killing brothers?"
Sahih Muslim #4341
It has been narrated on the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman b. Auf who said: While I
was standing in the battle array on the Day of Badr, I looked towards my right
and my left, and found myself between two boys from the Ansar quite young in age
. I wished I were between stronger persons. One of them made a sign to me and. s
aid: Uncle, do you recognise Abu Jahl? 1 said: Yes. What do you want to do with
him, O my nephew? He said: I have been told that he abuses the Messenger of Alla
h (may peace be upon him). By Allah, in Whose Hand is my life, if I see him (I w
ill grapple with him) and will not leave him until one of us who is destined to
die earlier is killed. The narrator said: I wondered at this. Then the other mad
e a sign to me and said similar words. Soon after I saw Abu Jahl. He was moving
about among men. I said to the two boys: Don't you see? He is the man you were i
nquiring about. (As soon as they heard this), they dashed towards him, struck hi
m with their swords until he was killed. Then they returned to the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) and informed him (to this effect). He asked: Which
of you has killed him? Each one of them said: I have killed him. He said: Have
you wiped your swords? They said: No. He examined their swords and said: Both of
 you have killed him. He then decided that the belongings of Abu Jahl he handed
over to Mu'adh b. Amr b. al-Jamuh. And the two boys were Mu'adh b. Amr b. Jawth
and Mu'adh b. Afra.
"So then, even with proof of the slain, the spoils were given to another. Muhamm
ad went against what he himself said."
Sahih Muslim #4342
Auf b. Malik has narrated that a man from the Himyar tribe killed an enemy and w
anted to take the booty. Khalid b. Walid, who was the commander over them, forba
de, him. 'Auf b Malik (the narrator) came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace b
e upon him) and informed him (to this effect). The latter asked Khalid: What pre
vented you from giving the booty to him? Khalid said: I thought it was too much.
He (the Holy Prophet) said: Hand it over to him. Now when Khalid by Auf, the la
tter pulled him by his cloak and said (by way of chafing him): Hasn't the same t
hing happened what I reported to you from the Messenger of Allah (may peace he u
pon him)? When the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) heard it. he was a
ngry (and said): Khalid, don't give him, Khalid, don't give him. Are you going t
o desert the commanders appointed by roe? Your similitude and theirs is like a p
erson who took camels and sheep for grazing. He grazed them and when it was time
for them to have a drink, he brought them to a pool. So they drank from it, dri
nking away its clear water and leaving the turbid water below So the clear water
(i. e. the best reward) is for you and the turbid water (i e. blame) is for the
m.
"It is by favoritism, and not by deeds that Muhammad would give the spoils. Unfa
ir, and contradictory to what he sated at other times."
Sahih Muslim #4343
It has been narrated on the authority of Auf b. Malik al-Ashja'i who said: I joi
ned the expedition that marched under Zaid b. Haritha to Muta, and I received re
informcement from the Yemen. (After this introduction), the narrator narrated th
e tradition that had gone before except that in his version Auf was reported to
have said (to Khalid): Khalid, didn't you know that the Messenger of Allah (way
peace be upon him) had decided In favour of giving the booty (sized from an enem
y) to one who killed him? He (Khalid) said: Yes. but I thought it was too much.
"Again, it is by favoritism, and not by deeds that Muhammad would give the spoil
s. Unfair, and contradictory to what he sated at other times."
Sahih Muslim #4344
It has been reported by Salama b. al-Akwa': We fought the Battle of Hawazin alon
g with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). (One day) when we were ha
ving our breakfast with the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him), a man ca
me riding a red camel. He made it kneel down, extracted a strip of leather from
its girth and tethered the camel with it. Then he began to take food with the pe
ople and look (curiously around). We were in a poor condition as some of us were
on foot (being without any riding animals). All of a sudden, he left us hurried
y, came to his camel, untethered it, made it kneel down, mounted it and urged th
e beast which ran off with him. A man on a brown rhe-camel chased him (taking hi
m for a spy). Salama (the narrator) said: I followed on foot. I ran on until I w
as near the thigh of the she-camel. I advanced further until I was near the haun
ches of the camel. I advanced still further until I caught hold of the nosestrin
g of the camel. I made it kneel down. As soon as it placed its knee on the groun
d, I drew my sword and struck at the head, of the rider who fell down. I brought
the camel driving it along with the man's baggage and weapons. The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) came forward to meet me and the people were with
him. He asked: Who has killed the man? The people said: Ibn Akwa'. He said: Ever
ything of the man is for him (Ibn Akwa').
"Before even knowing the truth, it was permissible to assume. How merciful is th
at? Perhapse the man on the red camel was in fear that these rugged men would k
ill him anyway (which they did)."
Sura 2:106
Nothing of our revelation (even a single verse) do we abrogate or cause be forgo
tten, but we bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not t
hat Allah is Able to do all things ?
"So then, is this truly the revelation of one called Muhammad, or has it been ch
anged to meet mens desires and lust?"
Sura 9:27
Then afterward Allah will relent toward whom He will; for Allah is Forgiving, Me
rciful.
"So then even though man may interpret it being mortal and fallable, prone to er
ror, is it then impossible that what you would call and idolater and unbeliever,
actually be righteous and true?"
Sura 47:4
Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks
until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward eithe
r grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). An
d if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is orda
ined) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in
the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.
"Let us face the truth. Let us reason together. If Allah can punish them withou
t you, and can be merciful to them being truly righteous in Allah's eyes, even t
hough it may not be so in your's, how can you EVER be so sure of ANYTHING of whi
ch you believe?"
Sura 2:256
There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct f
rom error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath graspe
d a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
"There is no forced religion, yet there is distinction between right and wrong.
Allah can lead astray who he will, even to cause zelousness in Allah to be a stu
mbling block before you. Why create life just to have other destroy it simply b
ecause you don't understand, or have a nieve position? If Allah leads astray, i
f Muhammad was a mortal as all of us are, and though you stumble by standing fir
m in a norrowminded belief, do you call it righteous, or foolish?"
"Let the prophets words sink in. Do you not see the glaring problem with your b
eliefs? Let the TRUTH come into your heart, and let the truth set you free from
the bondage of oppression, hatred, and contradiction. He who follows what is un
true is an idolator. He who kills by the sword is not merciful, for you have ta
ken away any hope of repentance for the man you killed. Let Allah do what he wil
l, for if he can do all things, what need does he have of you? If I am at all w
rong, by all means, correct me in wisdom."
"In the beginning, Elohim AT created the Shamayim, and Eritz. In the beginning
was the Aleph Tau, the WORD, and the WORD was with Elohim, and the Word was a Mi
ghty One, the same is Yahushuah ha Meshiach, who can, and will redily accept you
in love, and forgive you of all tresspass. All you need to do is ask, and you
shall recieve. Allah said himself he is a deciever of men, to lead astray whome
ever he wished. He has led you astray from the truth. Yahuah Elohenu will NEVER
lead you wrong. Trust in Him and His true anointed, who takes away the sins of
the world."
