Arrivals of Deception<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having heard much about, \u201cThe Arrivals,\u201d I finally watched the series. I thought I could learn something, but then realised that something was amiss. I write these words to awaken the overly trusting to points which might have been overlooked.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Unauthentic \u201cResearch\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n

Certain \u201cfacts\u201d are in fact plain conjecture. Other facts which can easily be researched are simply copied and pasted without verification. For example, quotations are simply extracted from the audio, From the Shadows, including the most glaring error claiming that the Freemasons realised their error in France when they lost control of Napoleon. They therefore made certain that when they later inspired the American Revolution that they installed a Freemason, George Washington.<\/p>\n

The producers make much of their \u201cresearch\u201d yet as Americans, they should know a basic fact that the Treaty of Paris terminating the Independence War was signed in 1783, which is 16 years before Napoleon came to power in 1799. Did the Masons then invent a time travel machine to install George Washington back in 1775? Incidentally Washington died in 1799, the year Bonaparte came to power and broke away from Masonic control. How could the French Revolution possibly have been before the American Revolution?<\/p>\n

\u00a0If these widely available facts are mysteries to these great researchers, why should we trust them on their novel, obscure claims?<\/div>\n

Brazen distortion of Qur\u0101n and \u1e24ad\u012bth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our interpretation of Qur\u0101n and \u1e24ad\u012bth is what All\u0101h and His Ras\u016bl (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em> taught us, via the chain of the \u1e62a\u1e25\u0101bah (Radiyallahu Anhum)<\/em>, Mufassir\u016bn and Mu\u1e25addith\u016bn. A\u1e25\u0101d\u012bth warning against personal interpretations are well known.<\/div>\n

Perhaps the most detailed \u1e24ad\u012bth describing ad-Dajj\u0101l is narrated by an-Naww\u0101s bin Sam\u2018\u0101n in al-Im\u0101m Muslim\u2019s \u1e62a\u1e25\u012b\u1e25, Chapter on the Mention of ad-Dajj\u0101l. It is quite lengthy, but based on the print version where it covers 16 lines; the producers conveniently only quote a half-a-line to suit their purpose. Due to the length I only mention the relevant parts below:<\/p>\n

An-Naww\u0101s bin Sam\u2018\u0101n (r.a) narrated\u2026.
[Ras\u016blull\u0101h (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that ad-Dajj\u0101l] will emerge on the road between \u2018Ir\u0101q and Syria\u2026.<\/div>\n

We asked, \u201cO Ras\u016blull\u0101h,\u201d How long will he stay on earth?\u201d<\/p>\n

He replied, \u201cForty days. A day like a year, and a day like a month, and a day like a week, and the rest of his days will be like your days.\u201d<\/div>\n

\u201cO Ras\u016blull\u0101h,\u201d we asked, \u201cThat which is like a year, will the \u1e62al\u0101h of a day suffice us in it?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d he replied, \u201cCalculate for it according to its extent.\u201d<\/div>\n

The producers make the following claims:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • Ad-Dajj\u0101l has already emerged.<\/li>\n
  • The first day represents his rule in England, starting in 900 of the Christian era.<\/li>\n
  • The English monarchy started in 900. The second day represents his rule in America, starting in 1917.<\/li>\n
  • The third day represents his rule in Palestine, starting in 2001.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    The unbiased will realise:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • England and \u201cbetween Iraq and Syria\u201d cannot be the same.<\/li>\n
    • The continuous monarchy of England is dated from the reign of Egbert in 829. Is Arrivals deliberately lying to get their date of 900?<\/li>\n
    • The question of the \u1e62al\u0101h, clearly shows that the \u1e62a\u1e25\u0101bah (RA) understood the prophecy to mean that a normal 24 hour day will be extended to a year.<\/li>\n
    • This is in line with the clear, uncomplicated D\u012bn which Ras\u016blull\u0101h (pbuh) brought us.<\/li>\n
    • The esoteric UK-US theory seems more in line with Masonic thinking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Let the unbiased ask, \u201cHas there been a single day since 900, when the day had to be shortened to 24 hours and divided into 5 for \u1e62al\u0101h purposes?\u201d Obviously this has never happened in the general world, except for the poles, which is a permanent feature. If we accept the producers\u2019 theory, we must accept one of two possibilities: Ras\u016blull\u0101h (pbuh) did not know the real meaning of his prophecy, but the producer did! The stupidity of such a belief is self-evident. Ras\u016blull\u0101h (pbuh) knew the real \u201csophisticated\u201d meaning but chose to toy with the \u1e62a\u1e25\u0101bah (RA) when they made their \u201csimple\u201d interpretation.<\/p>\n

      All\u0101h save us from having either of these filthy thoughts against Ras\u016blull\u0101h(pbuh). We must however ask, \u201cThe producers omitted the question of \u1e62al\u0101h which tears down their argument. Was this an oversight, coincidence or something more sinister?\u201d<\/p>\n

      Exaggeration<\/strong><\/p>\n

      A conspiracy of evil forces certainly exists, but exaggeration only serves the evil cause by making opponents seem false. This is in line with the very accusation of Arrivals against Zeitgeist \u2013 mention some truths mixed with falsehood, and the truth seems false.<\/p>\n

      An example of exaggeration is the clip showing an artist drawing, what appears to be sexual organs, but are mere curves in cartoons. The clip is well-known and the artist\u2019s intentions are plain. His humour \u2013 however poor in taste it may be \u2013 is to shock the viewer to think he is drawing a private part and then continues to draw a bear etc. He is open about it, and there is no conspiracy. To claim otherwise, is either na\u00efvet\u00e9, dishonesty or something more sinister.<\/p>\n

      Sacrilegious depiction of sacred personalities<\/strong><\/p>\n

      What kind of a Muslim depicts, not once, but repeatedly, the Mahd\u012b as a magician from Lord of the Rings!!! In all their research did they never read S\u016brah al-Baqarah, from which they would have understood that magic is Kufr?<\/p>\n

      If that is not bad enough, Arrivals has the audacity to state that Muslims are \u201churt\u201d by the Council of Nicea declaring Jesus to be God. Is it plain stupidity or hypocrisy that they portray \u2018\u012as\u0101 as the K\u0101fir king of the same movie! What are these people\u2019s motivations?<\/p>\n

      Vilification of the \u1e62a\u1e25\u0101bah (r.a)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      O Muslims, protect your faith against all sly attacks. Know that he who bears rancour against the \u1e62a\u1e25\u0101bah (RA) has cut himself from Ras\u016blull\u0101h (pbuh) and has already lost the battle. Arrivals repeats the filthy lie of the Raw\u0101fi\u1e0d [Sh\u012b\u2018ah] that Mu\u2018\u0101wiyah (RA) killed al- \u1e24asan (RA). When it is convenient they quoted Tirmi\u1e93\u012b, but are silent of the du\u2018\u0101\u2019 of Ras\u016blull\u0101h (pbuh) for Mu\u2018\u0101wiyah(RA) in the same book. Will you prefer a video clip over the \u1e24ad\u012bth of Ras\u016blull\u0101h (p.b.u.h)?<\/p>\n

      Other Raw\u0101fi\u1e0d beliefs The Arrivals cleverly draws one in, with facts and half-truths and then draw in the unwary with the Raw\u0101fi\u1e0d beliefs on the Mahd\u012b. Yes, we believe that the family of Ras\u016blull\u0101h (pbuh) has a special position of honour. Yes, we must confess that just like our other responsibilities, we have failed in this. Yes, the Mahd\u012b will be of the sacred progeny. The Arrivals however makes no substantiation for interpreting this duty as recognising the fairy-tale Raw\u0101fi\u1e0d belief of the Twelve Im\u0101ms. Furthermore why these twelve, are there not other sects which follow Seven? To accept \u2018Al\u012b (RA) as First Im\u0101m is declaring Ab\u016b Bakr (RA) to be illegitimate and a usurper. The two beliefs cannot be reconciled. Arrivals opens the door to other filthy beliefs, such as the Alteration of the Qur\u0101n [Ta\u1e25r\u012bf] and \u2018\u0100ishah ra\u1e0diyall\u0101hu \u2018anh\u0101 being an adulteress.<\/p>\n

      Music<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Even ignoring the issue whether music is permissible or not, it is ironic that Arrivals which purports to warn against the Dajj\u0101l uses one of his main weapons \u2013 music. Is it just ironic or something more, that there is almost non-stop music? The chosen medium uses audio and video. Other documentaries will have used the audio aspect for verbal explanations. Arrivals forces the viewer to read all explanations on the screen. Audio is almost completely devoted to music. Even when the Qur\u0101n is shown, music is being played. Even when clips with some dialogue are shown, the dialogue is blurred with music. Why?<\/p>\n

      At certain places Arrivals seems to explain the evil of some music videos. Fine, but why play it at such length after the point has already been made?<\/p>\n

      Immodesty<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Arrivals deceives us to believing that some evil must be shown for educational purposes. It labels those who disagree as \u201cextremist.\u201d Why then does it go to extremes like showing the almost nude woman washing a vehicle and showing pose after pose of erotic stances? One thinks that the point has been made, and it will stop, but no such luck. Arrivals deceives one to believing one is Isl\u0101mically educating oneself. One wonders how many parents might have shown it to their children in the belief that they are being warned and educated. Had there been a dialogue (already discussed) Arrivals could have mentioned how almost everything is western society is sexualised; and anyone living on this planet would have understood. If they believed that depiction was necessary, then why such excess?<\/p>\n

      Arrivals declares women not dressed according to the Qur\u0101nic junctions as \u201cmoderate\u201d according to the teachings of Ras\u016blull\u0101h (pbuh)! All\u0101h knows their hearts best, but whoever falls for this video has weakened towards the Dajj\u0101l.<\/p>\n

      Infiltration<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Arrivals makes much about how religions have been infiltrated, but only harps on Christianity. Its quite strange that they are basically silent on infiltration in Isl\u0101m. There are two forms of infiltration \u2013 individuals and groups. Ibn \u1e24ajar al-\u2018Asqal\u0101n\u012b writes in Fath\u016bl B\u0101r\u012b that ad-Dajj\u0101l will undergo three phases. In the first phase he will present himself as a pious Muslim and will deceive even the genuinely pious into following him. Thus even senior figures in the community can be in the service of others. As we cannot read hearts, we cannot accuse (although when a senior figure can show non scruple at lying, one wonders\u2026)<\/p>\n

      Parallel methods exist in infiltration on a group level. On this matter Arrivals makes a valid point that for the conspiracy to be implemented over centuries, a continuous Hidden hands is required. That Hidden Hand is none other than the Devil himself.<\/p>\n

      Note how he used a Jew, Saul, to pretend to convert to Christianity. He then turned a faith preaching about One God, into a different faith preaching Three gods and elevating Jesus to godhood, above his true station of Prophethood. It is no coincidence that The Jew, Ibn Saba\u2019, pretended to convert to Isl\u0101m. He managed to cleave a new religion out of Isl\u0101m which cast doubt in the \u1e62ah\u0101bah and the Qur\u0101n as being authentic. He raised \u2018Al\u012b (RA) to godhood, above his true station of Companionship.<\/p>\n

      The Raw\u0101fi\u1e0d today (although most do not take \u2018Al\u012b (pbuh) as god) oppress the Ahlus Sunnah in Ir\u0101n, but confer full respect on their brothers, the Jews. History testifies how at critical moments, they always assisted the enemies of Isl\u0101m, such as the Crusaders and Mongols. Even if they are supposedly great warriors in freedom struggles today,\u00a0consider: How they treat us once in power \u2013 investigate Ir\u0101n.<\/p>\n

      If a Communist Atheist fights oppression, does that make him a Muslim? Similarly the kufr beliefs of Raw\u0101fi\u1e0d are not excused by war rhetoric. The \u1e24ad\u012bth mentions Dajj\u0101l\u2019s supporters coming from I\u1e63f\u0101h\u0101n. Guess where Isf\u0101h\u0101n is? When ad-Dajj\u0101l reaches al-Mad\u012bnah, an earthquake will expel all hypocrites who will go to him. Did you know that there are many Rw\u0101fi\u1e0d living in al-Mad\u012bnah?<\/p>\n

      Arrivals is correct that there is infiltration. They are just slyer than many expect.<\/p>\n
