Open Letter to Keith Ellison - from a Muslim

[inshallahshaheed]

Dear Keith Ellison,


I hope this message reaches to you and no one else as I will be addressing you from the Islamic perspective. If this is being read by someone else, I kindly ask you to pass this message to Keith Ellison as this is very important for me in my religion to make a few points clear to Mr. Keith Ellison.

Keith, I am not going to make this too long, so I’m going to speak in a straightforward fashion; and I would like if you can respond to my statements and questions so that it becomes clear to me on where you stand after the proofs have been shown to you.

First point: Do you judge by the book of Allah (i.e., Qur’an) or do you judge by what you think is correct? If your answer is that it is the Qur’an that you judge by – and I’ll assume this since you took on oath on the Qur’an in public – then how will you answer to Allah on the Day of Judgment that you made Halaal what He made Haraam? One example is Homosexuality. I am sure you know that in the Religion of Islam, homosexuality is Haraam and there are strict capital punishments in the Shari’ah against it. So what will you tell Allah, O Keith, on the Day where the hair of a child will turn grey because of the Great Fear? What will you tell the Lord of the Worlds, O Keith, on a Day where people will be drowning in their sweat? What will you tell Allah, O Keith, on a Day where men will be dragged onto spikes that will pierce through their skin and will be thrown into the Hellfire in front of everybody, humiliated and disgraced?


I am very curious Keith; what will you tell Him?

Second point: If you say that you judge according to what you think is correct, then I ask you – O Keith – how do you respond to the statements of your Lord (and please carefully read each verse of Qur’an that I quote and think about where you stand in regards to each and every verse):

Whosoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the disbelievers (Kafiroon). (5:44)

Allah says,

Whosoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unjust (Dhalimoon). (5:45)

Allah says,

Whosoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the rebellious (Faasiqoon). (5:47)

Allah says,

Therefore judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their vain desires (to turn away) from the truth that has come to you (i.e., Qur’an). (5:48)

Allah says,

So judge between them by that which Allah has revealed, and follow not their desires, but beware of them lest they seduce you from some part of that which Allah has revealed (i.e., Qur’an) unto you. (5:49)

Allah says,

Do you then believe in a part of the Book and disbelieve in the other? What then is the reward of such among you as do this but disgrace in the life of this world, and on the day of resurrection they shall be sent back to the most grievous chastisement! And Allah is not at all heedless of what you do. (2:85)

And please, if you are going to quote a Scholar to explain these verses, quote a Classical Scholar; or better yet, quote a Sahabi (Companion of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)). Why do I say that? Because most of the Modern day Scholars interpret the Qur’an out of fear of Allah’s Creation – that is, men. So what good are these people who lie about the words of Allah?

If you can’t pull out any words of the Scholars, then I ask you, what do you think these verses imply? Do they not imply that if you judge by other than the Shari’ah, you have earned Allah’s Anger? Take a hint: Look at the repetitiveness. After you tell me, I’ll tell you the correct meaning of these verses according to the Classical Scholars.

Third point: What proof do you have from Qur’an and Sunnah that it is Islamic for you to participate in the Parliament, knowing that they pass judgments that go against the Shari’ah of Allah? How can you obey them in some of the matter, when you know that they actually hate your Religion? And know that they indeed hate your Religion simply because they hate Jihad (fighting), and Jihad is part of our Religion; don’t believe me? Then stand up in Parliament or make it clear in a public speech and say that you agree to the words of Qur’an 100% and that you agree with the verses from Surah al-Anfaal (chapter 8), and Surah at-Taubah (chapter 9) and also that you agree with the following verse because Allah has ordained it and He is absolutely correct:

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (9:29)

And O Keith, The Reality is that you have become an apostate because you obeyed those who hate your Religion in a few things.

Allah says,

Those who turn back as apostates after Guidance was clearly shown to them,- the Evil One has instigated them and busied them up with false hopes. This, because they said to those who hate what Allah has revealed, “We will obey you in part of (this) matter”; but Allah knows their (inner) secrets. (47:25-26)

Fourth Point: And this point is advice from me to you. How can you take the non-Muslims as your protectors, helpers, friends, judges, law-givers, law-makers, law-deciders, when Allah had forbidden it?
Allah says,

O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for Awliyaa (protectors, helpers, and/or friends); they are Awliyaa of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them as Awliyaa, then surely he is one of them (i.e., Kafir); surely Allah does not guide the unjust people. (5:51)

Glory be to Alah, The Most High, who then said in the next verse, addressing the Hypocrites, that they rush towards the non-Muslims to make them as their Awliyaa.

Allah says,

But you will see those in whose hearts is a disease hastening towards them, saying: We fear lest a calamity should befall us; but it may be that Allah will bring the victory or a punishment from Himself, so that they shall be regretting on account of what they hid in their souls. (5:52)

You might say, “But Allah is only talking about the Jews and Christians here; in our Parliament, we have a great diversity of people from different religions and backgrounds! So this does not apply!”
Just when you felt intelligent about your Religion, Allah destroys your dodgy creed by saying,

The Disbelievers are protectors, one of another: Unless ye do this, (protect each other), there would be tumult and oppression on earth, and great mischief. (8:73)

Allah made it clear that it wasn’t just the Jews and Christians; He includes all non-Muslims! And this verse is very beautiful because look at it carefully and then look at the Ummah today. We see that there is great oppression and wars because of this Country - which you seem to love so much. You even said yourself that you disagreed with the ‘Iraq war in the first place. And what is Allah saying to you here? He is saying that instead of you helping and protecting the disbelievers, why don’t you – for a change – help and protect this Ummah by leaving the disbelievers and their misguided ways and follow the path of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) which was a path of establishing the Islamic State and eliminating that which attempts to destroy its establishment and spreading?

Allah says,

O you who believe! Do not take for friends those who take your religion for a mockery and a joke, from among those who were given the Book before you and the disbelievers; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah if you are believers. (5:57)

And how can you – O Keith – be considered a believer in Allah when you disbelieve in a part of His revelation? Instead of adhering to His commands and stern warnings (they are not advices or soft-talk), you stick with your vain whims and desires, which you (wrongly) think is Islamic.

And O Keith, I ask you, what are the qualities of the true believers in Islam? Are they humble with the disbelievers? Do they abandon Jihad fe Sabeelillah (fighting for the sake of Allah)? What are their qualities?

Allah made that quite clear when He said,

O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion, then Allah will bring a people, He shall love them and they shall love Him, lowly before the believers, mighty against the unbelievers, they shall fight in Allah’s Cause and shall not fear the blame of any blamer; this is Allah’s Face, He gives it to whom He pleases, and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing. (5:54)

Notice that He, The Most High, says here, “Whoever from among you turns back from his religion.” In other words, He’s stating that if you don’t follow what He’s about to say, then you have officially turned back from this Religion (i.e., you have become an apostate).

Finally, I leave you with these words from Allah to muse over:

You shall not find a people who believe in Allah and the latter day befriending those who act in opposition to Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their (own) fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kinsfolk; these are they into whose hearts He has impressed faith, and whom He has strengthened with an inspiration from Him: and He will cause them to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein; Allah is well-pleased with them and they are well-pleased with Him these are Allah’s party: now surely the party of Allah are the successful ones. (58:22)

Keep in mind, I only quoted from Qur’an. So if you accuse me of Terrorism or supporting Terrorism, then why can’t you admit that these verses say the same; afterall, I only quoted from the Book of Allah? The reality is that it is your ignorance of this beautiful Religion that is leading you astray and it is your arrogance over what is correct that is guaranteeing you a seat in the Hellfire.

And Indeed, we came from Allah, and unto Him, we shall return.

Sincerely,
A Slave of Allah

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakatuh,

Jazakillahu khayr. I just did a bit of research on him. I hope whoever wrote that letter inlcuded their return address so that Keith can respond to it. That will open up some kind of dialogue so we can understand why exactly he is supporting those Qawmul Loot practices.
