And warn hereby those who fear lest they be gathered unto their Sustainer with none to protect them from Him or to intercede with Him, so that they might become [fully] conscious of Him.

ART THOU NOT aware that it is God whose limitless glory all [creatures] that are in the heavens and on earth extol, even the birds as they spread out their wings? Each [of them] knows indeed how to pray unto Him and to glorify Him; and God has full knowledge of all that they do:

But if afterwards it should come to light that the two [witnesses] have become guilty of [this very] sin, then two others - from among those whom the two former have deprived of their right - shall take their place and shall swear by God, "Our testimony is indeed truer than the testimony of these two, and we have not transgressed the bounds of what is right - or else, may we indeed be counted among the evildoers!"

Blog: Pointing Out What Islam Teaches Isn’t Divisive.
On Friday, the 25th anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attacks, I posted an article about how we have forgotten 9/11. In that post, I pointed out that in the time since 9/11 – even though it’s glaringly obvious what religious persuasion the terrorists were apart of and that that religion teaches that violence against non-believers is a good thing – we, the American people, remain painfully ignorant of the threat that Islam teaches. We ignore what the religion actually teaches in its holy books and continue to believe that it’s mainly peaceful, that the only violent Muslims are the Muslims that have hijacked Islam. Heck, nowadays, many on the Left even cheer on the violent Muslims, saying that we deserved 9/11.
However, in response to this post, I got a comment from someone on the Fediverse, who writes:
Blaming 9/11 strictly on the violence of religious fundamentalists is a completely unserious take and just reveals your own lack of nuance in your understanding of the world. It completely ignores 70 years of history the most important of which is asking which world power helped Osama Bin Laden rise to power and then who’s brutality in the middle east inspired unlimited generations of hatred at it.
I’ll give you a hint: it sounds like we both live here.
Further, why is it so hard to believe that not everyone in a religion is a hard-line fundamentalist. That’s something crazy an atheist would say.
“Here in the bible it actually says its good to kill whole races and cultures of people and enslave them. So you must believe this since this is your book! Checkmate theist!” I refused to participate in the Nu-Atheist waves for that s***.
But you and I both know the goal isn’t to be a well informed person if you’re lamenting the Kirk days. You’re clearly just trying to rile up anti-muslim hate instead of giving a s*** about politics that help people. You are simply a free mouthpiece for the same oil industry backers and global capitalists elites that have always pushed this divisive nonsense.
While yes, America unfortunately had a role to play in Osama bin Laden’s rise to power, that does not mean that Islam is off the hook as a motivating factor in the 9/11 attacks. If one is to read the suicide letter of one of the 9/11 terrorists, we clearly see Islam being a leading reason for why he was attacking innocent people. (Video below of ex-Muslim, Apostate of Allah, reading the 9/11 suicide letter.)
The most notable part here is the ninth part of page one, which says:
9- Then, put that in front of your eyes, if you are facing a challenge — how would you act [?] how to steadfast [?] and remember and learn [illegible] it wouldn’t happen to you. It is a challenge from God [illegible] then it will be clear, God willing, God had said “did you think that you will enter paradise and that God knows those who performed Jihad and knows those who are patient”
That there is a clear link to Islam as a motivating factor, with the quote being taken from Surah 3: 142, which talks about participation in Jihad (warfare for Allah) as being one of the biggest tests for a Muslim. Similarly, we also see the hijacker quoting from the Quran in the third part of his letter, which says:
3- Read Surat al-Tawba, and Surat al-Anfal — understand their meanings and understand what God had prepared for the faithful — He prepared an everlasting paradise for the martyrs.
For those who are unaware, Surah al-Tawbah is Surah 9, one of the most infamous chapters in the Quran because it contains the two “Sword Verses”, 9:5 and 9:29. It was one of Muhammad’s last revelations regarding warfare, and it abrogates almost every peaceful verse in the Quran. As for Surah al-Anfal, that is Surah 8, and it too contains violent verses that abrogate earlier peaceful verses in the Quran.
But what does that mean? Is our friend from the Fediverse right when he compares this to the Bible, saying:
Further, why is it so hard to believe that not everyone in a religion is a hard-line fundamentalist. That’s something crazy an atheist would say.
“Here in the bible it actually says its good to kill whole races and cultures of people and enslave them. So you must believe this since this is your book! Checkmate theist!” I refused to participate in the Nu-Atheist waves for that s***.
The answer is that comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges.
While I agree (and even stated something to the effect of this in my original post), that not all Muslims are fundamentalists who look at verses like Surah 9:5 and go out and kill a bunch of people, there is still a large chunk of Muslims who are hardline fundamentalists and do that. The reason for this is because Muslims believe that the Quran is a book for all times and all places. According to them, it is the final revelation from Allah and is a clear guidance and instruction for mankind.
What that means, then, is that unless a verse was abrogated by Allah (replaced with a different verse or new instruction), then Muslims must follow that verse. In the case of verses such as Surah 9:5, as I mentioned earlier, it abrogates previous peaceful verses, and since it was one of Muhammad’s last revelations concerning the matter of warfare and jihad, Muslims treat it as something to be followed to a T. Essentially, the time for following the peaceful verses is over; we need to follow the ones that demand warfare against non-Muslims.
That’s also not mentioning the hadiths. The hadiths (collectively called the Sunnah) are the sayings and doing of Muhammad, and since according to Islam, Muhammad was the perfect person whose example is to be followed, Muslims rely heavily on the hadiths for guidance. That said, many hadiths speak of jihad and encourage Muslims to do it, so those wanting to follow in Muhammad’s example may wish to engage in jihad, especially since it will put them on the fast track to Jannah (Heaven), where they get their 72 pre-pubescent virgins, plenty of pre-pubescent serving boys, and food and alcohol.
Oh, yeah, did I mention that Muslims believe that Heaven is essentially a brothel where all the serving boys (or “youths of heaven”) and the 72 virgins that they get all look like children? Yeah, there are numerous verses talking about that in the Quran, and the only way you’re guaranteed to get there is through dying in jihad.
But what if you’re not Sunni? What if you’re a Shia Muslim and don’t follow the hadiths? Don’t worry. Not only do Shia Muslims still follow the Quran’s teaching about killing non-Muslims, but they rely more on the Sira literature – the biographies of Muhammad – which are also full of all sorts of violent deeds perpetrated by Momo, which they emulate.
Meanwhile, if you compare this to the Bible, you don’t see any similarities. While the Bible does talk about the annihilation of the Amalekites, this is read by Christians as a descriptive verse. The Bible, while a religious text, is also a historical one, telling the story of God’s hand moving through the history of the human race. Thus, with that context, Christians don’t see the killing of the Amalekites as a prescriptive thing, unlike how Muslims would view verses like Surah 9:5 and 9:29.
Pointing this all out is not me trying to be divisive, nor is it about spreading “anti-Muslim hate.” Pointing out what Islam teaches and how it’s historically been viewed and treated by Muslims is not anti-Muslim. It’s simply showing the facts. It’s also, in many ways, pro-Muslim, because it brings up questions about the ethics and morals of Islam that could lead Muslims to realizing that they’re effectively in a cult, culminating in them leaving that religion and finding a better life outside it.
But, if you want to shut down the conversation by screaming “divisive,” “bigot,” “anti-Muslim,” “hate speech,” or “Islamophobe,” go ahead. You are part of the problem of how Muslims and Islam are taking over the West. You can either realize that now, or you can realize that when they’re taking your rights, your money, and, possibly, your head.
Until next time,

Yeah, there are numerous verses talking about that in the Quran, and the only way you’re guaranteed to get there is through dying in jihad.
But what if you’re not Sunni? What if you’re a Shia Muslim and don’t follow the hadiths? Don’t worry. Not only do Shia Muslims still follow the Quran’s teaching about killing non-Muslims, but they rely more on the Sira literature – the biographies of Muhammad – which are also full of all sorts of violent deeds perpetrated by Momo, which they emulate.
Meanwhile, if you compare this to the Bible, you don’t see any similarities. While the Bible does talk about the annihilation of the Amalekites, this is read by Christians as a descriptive verse. The Bible, while a religious text, is also a historical one, telling the story of God’s hand moving through the history of the human race. Thus, with that context, Christians don’t see the killing of the Amalekites as a prescriptive thing, unlike how Muslims would view verses like Surah 9:5 and 9:29.
Pointing this all out is not me trying to be divisive, nor is it about spreading “anti-Muslim hate.” Pointing out what Islam teaches and how it’s historically been viewed and treated by Muslims is not anti-Muslim. It’s simply showing the facts. It’s also, in many ways, pro-Muslim, because it brings up questions about the ethics and morals of Islam that could lead Muslims to realizing that they’re effectively in a cult, culminating in them leaving that religion and finding a better life outside it.
But, if you want to shut down the conversation by screaming “divisive,” “bigot,” “anti-Muslim,” “hate speech,” or “Islamophobe,” go ahead. You are part of the problem of how Muslims and Islam are taking over the West. You can either realize that now, or you can realize that when they’re taking your rights, your money, and, possibly, your head.
Until next time,
M.J.

The Doubtful Things between Halal and Haram
This Hadith addresses the believer's conscience, which is the overseer whose duty is to take charge of work and see that it is properly done. In simpler words, it is the criterion that shows the Muslim's adherence to the Halal, avoiding the Haram and keeping away from committing doubtful actions.https://alborz8.wordpress.com/2026/09/14/the-doubtful-things-between-halal-and-haram/

DO NOT set up any other deity side by side with God, lest thou find thyself disgraced and forsaken:

"O our Sustainer! Behold, we heard a voice call [us] unto faith, `Believe in your Sustainer!' - and so we came to believe. O our Sustainer! Forgive us, then, our sins, and efface our bad deeds; and let us die the death of the truly virtuous!

Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·Zabaniyah
The Zabaniyah are the “Wardens of Hell,” who torture the sinners or carry off the souls of the wicked. They’re identified with the “19 angels of Hell,” & “Angels of punishment,” & Guardians of Hell,” & “Angels of Hell.”
According to the Quran & the ahadith, the Zabaniyah are 19 in number. Maalik is their leader. Maalik is an angel in Hell/Purgatory who guarded the hellfire & assisted by the other angel guards of the Zabaniyah. As angels, despite their unsightly looks & actions, are ultimately subordinate to God. Their actions are considered just because of this.
Zabaniyah is the name for a group of angels. The angels of punishment are those angels who said, “Will you (God) place there in one who will cause corruption & shed blood?” questioning the creation of Adam.
A tradition from At-Tabhkirah, a book authored by Al-Qurtubi, recorded that 1 of Zabaniyah was named Daqa’il, who accompanied the Angel of Death whenever he took the souls of a sinner. A Zabaniyah angel called Susa’il shows Muhammad the punishments of sinners in hell. However, the 1 which Muhammad met during Mi’raj & shown Muhammad about hell was Maalik himself, the leader of Zabaniyah.
The Zabaniya are 19 in number. The number 19 is only meant for the archangels, or leaders of the angels of hell. Another classical exegesis addendum is that their number is 19,000. Modern Saudi mufti Abd al-Aziz Ibn Baz has mentioned some 4.9 billion angels who keep hell, where each 70,000 holds a bridle from 70,000 while restraining Jahannam. A mufti is an Islamic legal scholar who interprets religious law to issue authoritative rulings.
The 19 angels refer to the leaders of those angels, including Maalik. While the insurmountable numbers were referring to the hell angels, which were led by those 19 Zabaniyah.
Several features of the Zabaniyah describe their physicality:
- Face
- Several Habiths as recorded that Muhammad has met Maalik, the Zabaniyah, in 1 occasion described that he had a sickeningly ugly face. The true face of Zabaniyah angels is so repulsive beyond comprehension, to the point that any living human could die by the shock of only looking at their face. Aside from those, the Isra’ &Mi’raj tradition, Muhammad also notes the gruesome appearance of Maalik in his dream. The eyes of Zabaiyah were like lightning & their mouths were like spurs of chicken. Their hair is so long that it’s dragged under their feet. They’ve “repulsive faces, eyes like flashing lightning, teeth white like cows’ horns, lips hanging down to their feet, & rotten breath.
- Size
- The Zabaniyah are the largest type of angel. Their shoulders are described as having a distance of 500 years. The angels that protected Muhammad from Abu Jahl’s aggression near the Ka’ba were 12 zabaniyah as tall as the sky. 1 of the Zabaniyah has its chest as wide as 1 of the gates of Jahannam. Jahannam is the place of punishment for evildoers in Hell.
- Tools
- Zabaniyah angels carrying tools such as an iron beater or Mirzabba with 2 prongs, & whip(s) made of fire. The Zabaniyah angels used these tools to punish the sinners vigorously. The Zabaniyah will drive the sinners into Hell with “iron hooks.” Also, they carry hot chains for torturing inmates.
- Strength
- The Zabaniyah are the most powerful among angels. The Zabaniyah angels were created by Allah to perform any tasks commanded upon them to torture the inmates of Hell. Allah has granted Zabaniyah the ability to manage a torture for sinners that no one can emulate. Gripping strength that was so severe, which no creature could match. After the Judgment Day, 1 of Zabaniyah was described as being able to drag entire sinners who are judged to enter Hell while carrying a mountain on his shoulder. He’ll use the said mountain to crush the sinners, after all of them have entered Hell. During Judgment Day, the Zabaniyah angels will lift & drag out Jahannam from its place to the surface of the plain, and the inmates of Hell will be in blind & deaf condition. The Zabaniyah angels possessed an ability where those deaf inmates could somehow hear the voices of Zabaniyah, who tortured them.
- Fingers
- The Zabaniyah angels possessed fingers with the number of the sinners that’ll be thrown into Hell after the Judgment Day. The fingers of Maalik are so hot to the point that if 1 of his fingers touched the sky, that finger would cause the sky to melt. Zabaniyah was created 1,000 years before Hell was created. While their physical strength grows every day, to the point that each of Zabaniyah’s fingers could squeeze a human from the head to the ankles.
- Wings
- The Zabaniyah had wings. The Zabaniyah showed up before Abu Jahl (he was the main opponent of the Prophet Muhammad), as Muhammad prayed in/at the Kaaba. 1 of the Zabaniyah scares Abu Jahl when he tries to trample on Muhammad’s neck with his foot. When asked about his retreat, Abu answered that he suddenly saw a winged, terrifying monster in a trench filled with flames, between him & Muhammad. This incident were/was believed by Muslims to be the Asbab al-Nuzul (Revelation) of the Quran chapter al-Alaq 96:18. Allah made the Zabaniyah angels’ hearts hard because they have 0 mercy towards the inmates.
The Zabaniyah also imposes punishments on people who commit Riba (usury) by pelting their mouths with rocks while forcing them to swim in a river of blood. The situation of people who commit usury in Barzakh (a realm of the afterlife) before the Judgment Day.
According to the Quran, the Zabaniya are the angels of death who conduct the souls of sinners & question them in the grave. Nazi’at & Nasitat & Munkar &Nakir, they help Azra’il (Azrael), who’s the canonical Angel of Death in Islam. Nazi’at is commissioned to take the lives of unbelievers forcefully, while Nashitat takes believers gently.
They appear as black shadows to the dying person, pull their souls out of their bodies, & drag them to hell. It’s been recorded that after the Angel of Death has separated the soul of the sinner from their body, an Zabaniyah angel named Daqa’il will restrain the soul with a giant wrap which made from rough hairs & parading the soul to the sky. This is before throwing the soul towards another Zabaniyah angel(s), who react by taking the soul into the Sijjin, a rock-shaped prison of the sinners below the Barzakh.
The Zabaniyah’s role during the Judgment is that they’re tasked with gathering & suppressing all sinners, Muslims & non-Muslims alike. Whoever wants to be saved from torture AFTER Judgment Day should recite the basmala (This is an Islamic phrase that means: “In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.”) frequently during their life. As the basmala consists of 19 letters in accordance of the number of Zabaniyah.
1 of their duties after Judgment Day is to push those who mocked Islam into Hell. They’re also described as leading the army of angels.
In some Isra’ & Mi’raj traditions:
The Zabaniyat landscape of the 1st layer of Hell & the fiery seas within. As Maalik was created by God inside Hell. So they would have no desire to leave & feel comfortable in it. They’re standing tall above Saqar, a place in Hell. They’re also described as leading the army of angels. Al-Muddaththir 69:30 is interpreted about how the group of Zabaniyah threw the sinners into Jahannam.
They have the task of Zabaniyah driving sinners to enter Hell. In some Isra’ & MI’raj traditions the Zabaniyat landscape of the 1st layer of Hell & fiery seas within. As Maalik explains to Muhammad that the Zabaniya were created by God inside hell so they’ve no desire to leave this place & fell comfortable in it. The Zabaniyah are standing tall above Saqar, a place in Hell.
Each Zabaniyah restrained the sinners who were fated to be thrown in Hell are shackling each sinner’s arms to their neck before dragging them down. The Zabaniyah perform their job by using both of their hands & feet in torturing sinners in Hell. The Zabaniyah will drag the face of those they torture.
The Zabaniyah will shackle the inmates, cursing them, pouring boiled water on top of their head. While at the same time, force-feeding them with the fruits of Zaqqum tree. In Islam, the Zaqqum tree is a cursed tree that’s rooted in the center of Jahannum. It’s 1st mentioned in the Quran, 3x by name, as a tree that produces fruits that’s fed to the inhabitants of Hell to burn their stomachs, before they’re also fed boiling liquids.
In an interpretation of Quran chapter Al-Haqqa verse 32 gave their explanation that the chains in the verse were meant to be the chains used by Zabiyah angels to shackle the inmates in Hell. The Zabaniyah will shove the hot chains to the inmates rectums until it emerges from their mouth.
As for Muslim sinners which has committed huge sins & never repented during their life, the Zabaniyah tasked to shackle them more leniently than non-Muslim, & torture them until all of their sins has paid off with the punishments inflicted. Thus sent them all to Heaven.
Meanwhile, for non-Muslims, Ka’b has described the Zabaniyah shackle & drag them more severely than Muslim sinners into Hell while burning them as they walked in, then punish them for eternity. The Zabaniyah angels will wrap the inmates of Hell with a nail made of fire. So they’ll not hear anything, & none of those inmates can see that there is other peoples tortured nearby.
Sufism tradition says the fate after death that an army of angels of punishment battled against the angels of mercy over the soul of a sinner. In some Turkish lore, it’s believed that both groups battle, their strikes cause thunder.
