al-Muqaddimah/Prelude
I began my “`Aqīdah-Wars” Journey, exclusively, to attack Unjust-Takfīr/Takfīr-Culture. And, it equally resulted from Various Theological-Debates which I’ve had with Tālib Nathaniel: my Sibling of the Pen. The Theological-Debates between Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel, the Siblings of the Pen, gave rise to a Domino-Effect of Muslims around the World reevaluating how they perceive as well as interpret al-`Aqīdah (Islāmic-Theology).
Fraternity in spite of Rivalry
Drunk-In-Debate: Champagne-Ash`arīs and Don Julio Salafīs Featuring Hennessy-Atharīs
What’s Unjust-Takfīr?!!!
This refers directly to any Muslim accusing any Fellow-Muslim of saying/doing Things which causes ar-Riddah/Apostasy.
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) stated the following, regarding at-Takfīr/Blasphemy:
“No Person accuses another of either being a Fāsiq/Sinner or a Kāfir (Disbeliever/Non-Muslim), except that they’re one themselves, if the Other isn’t which they’ve pontificated/claimed.”
(al-Bukhārī)
“Whomever attributes/ascribes Kufr (Disbelief) to their Brother is just like their Killer/Murderer.”
(al-Bukhārī&at-Tirmidhī)
“If a Muslim calls someone a Kāfir: if they are then let it be, otherwise they themselves are a Kāfir.”
(Abū-Dāwud)
What’s Takfīr-Culture?!!!
This pertains to Muslims campaigning against Fellow-Muslims, exclusively as per Religio-Sectarian Biases. Takfīr-Culture is 💯%-Evil.
Islāmophobia via Theological-Slander (Shurūh/Commentaries of my Anti-Takfīr Writings)
Unjust-Takfīr & Takfīr-Culture are both Sifāt (Manifestations) of Islāmophobia
Like I always tell People:
You don’t have to be Non-Muslim to be an Islāmophobe. Now, naturally, one will ponder how’s it even possible for any Muslim to be an Islāmophobe.
#GoodQuestion…
…#Answer:
Unjust-Takfīr/Takfīr-Culture has always a Muqaddimah/Prelude to Muslim-On-Muslim Qattāl/Violence. There’s a Host of Amthāl/Examples, regarding this. I’m going to actually detail some of These-Amthāl:
1. The Children-Of-Israel murdering al-Anbiyā/Prophets (Peace be upon them) sent to them.
2. The Assassination of `Uthmān ibn-`Affān (May Allah be pleased with them).
3. The Civil-War between `Alī ibn-`Imrān & Mu`āwiyah ibn-Sakhr (May Allah be pleased with them both).
4. The `Abbāsīs overthriwing the Umayyīs.
4. The Warring Muslim-States via: Sicily, Iberia/Andalusia, Saharan-Africa, the Middle-East, the Indian-Subcontinent, etc.
5. The Takhrīj/Khurūj (Rebellion) of Muslim-Arabs against al-Khilāfah/Islāmic-Governance (via the Ottoman-Empire) during World-War I.
6. The Invasion/Massacres of Pakistan against Bangladesh.
7. The Civil-Wars via Somalia, Sudan, etc.
8. The Iraq-Iran War.
9. Muslim-Arabs assisting Non-Muslim/Euro Powers destroy the Ottoman-Empire.
10. Muslim-Countries aiding Non-Muslim Countries to attack, invade, occupy, etc. other Muslims-Countries.
(at-Tabarī, as-Suyūtī, ibn-Kathīr, Encyclopedia Britannica, World History Encyclopedia)
All of the Aforementioned-Scenarios occurred, exclusively, because there were Muslims whom refused to: recognize, respect, accept, etc. the Religio-Spiritual Sanctity of Fellow-Muslims. And, Takfīr-Culture was Top-Priority for all of the Scenarios listed. It’s a Known-Fact: if a Muslim doesn’t view a Fellow-Muslim as their Religio-Spiritual Equal, then it’s easy to be a Zhālim/Tyrant against them.

How did these “`Aqīdah-Wars” even begin?!!!
Let’s start with what “`Aqīdah” actually is
al-`Aqīdah
Linguistic: Fortitude, Foundation, Structure etc.
Islāmic: Religio-Academic Euphemism for the 6-Arkān/Pillars of al-Īmān (Islāmic-Belief/Faith).
What’re the 6-Arkān of al-Īmān?!!!
1. Belief in Allah
2. Belief in al-Malā’ikah (Angels)
3. Belief in al-Kutub (Revelatory-Scriptures/Books)
4. Belief in ar-Rusul (Prophetic-Individuals/Messengers)
5. Belief in Yawm-il-Ākhir (the Last-Day/Judgment-Day)
6. Belief in al-Qadr wal-Qadhā’ (Decree&Providence)
(an-Nawawī)
`Aqā’id/Religio-Theological Schools
al-Jahmiyyah/Jahmism
Belief: Jahmīs deny Particular-Sifāt of Allah, like Eternal-Speech for example. Jahmism historically is notoriously known for claiming that The Qur’an was “created”.
Founder: Jahm ibn-Safwān (one of the Students/Followers of Ja`d ibn-Dirhām as well as a Contemporary of Ab-il-Hasan al-Ash`arī)
al-Mushabbihiyyah/Mushabbihism
Belief: Mushabbihīs claim that Allah is similar to the Creation, referring to Their Characteristics being “shared” amongst Created-Things/Beings.
Founder: Muqātil ibn-Sulaymān al-Khurasānī
al-Qadariyyah/Qadarism
Belief: Qadarīs deny of the Belief in al-Qadr (Decree/Destiny). They claim that they’re “free” from the Qadr-Of-Allah via al-Mashī’ah/Freewill.
Founder: Abū-Yūnus Sinbuyah Aswārī & Ma`bad ibn-Juhanī (one of the Students/Followers of Jahm ibn-Safwān)
al-Jabariyyah/Jabarism
Belief: Jabarīs claim that Humans don’t possess al-Mashī’ah, and aren’t responsible for their Actions. As a Result, they also disbelieve in the Day of Standing.
Founder: Ja`d ibn-Dirhām
al-Murji’iyyah/Murji’ism
Belief: Murji’īs claim that Actions aren’t an aspect of al-Īmān. Also, they claim that al-Īmān neither increases or decreases.
Founder: Ghilān ibn Abī-Ghilān al-Qadarī
al-Ash`ariyyah/Ash`arism
Belief: Ash`arīs view that the Fitrah/Nature-Of-Allah is never to be compared to Creation, hence they conclude the “Necessity” to not view the Sifāt/Characteristics-Of-Allah as being Literal, Real, Actual, etc. Also, they’re also deeply rooted in Rationalism, Rhetoric, etc. (Furthermore) Ash`arīs are particularly notoriously known for imposing Unjust-Takfīr/Blasphemy against Fellow-Muslims whom’re Non-Ash`arīs, in spite of the Progenitor/Founder of Ash`arism making Deathbed-Repentance against Unjust-Takfīr against Muslim Non-Ash`arīs.
Founder: `Alī ibn-Ismā`īl ibn-Ishāq (AKA Abul-Hasan al-Ash`arī)
al-Mu`taziliyyah/Mu`tazilism
Belief: Mu`tazilīs highly focus on Rationalism&Rhetoric (based primarily upon Greco-Roman Philosophy). Also, they claim that Allah is similar to Creation. As well, they’re notoriously known for misinterpreting al-Mashī’ah/Freewill. In addition, they also claim that The Qur’an was “created”.
Founder: Wāsil ibn-`Atā’
The Ugly-History of the “`Aqīdah/Creed-Wars”
Exploring Connections between the “3-Kingdoms” & the “3-`Aqīdahs”
I deliberately compared/contrasted the History of the “`Aqìdah-Wars” with the History the “3-Kingfoms” Era of Ancient-China.
Much like how Shu & Wu forged a Joint-Alliance against Wei…Team-Atharī & Team-Salafī have had a Tense/Complicated-Alliance against Team-Ash`arī. This 3-Pronged Conflict has proven to be full of Interpersonal-Violence, Intrigue, Treachery, Betrayal, Cunning, etc. The Power-Struggles for the Fame, the Dames, the Monies (AKA “The Bag”), the Communal-Numbers, the Promoters/Students, the Lackeys/Soldiers, the Fans/Groupies, the Street-Teams/Gang-Affiliates, the Dick-Riders, etc.: All-3 `Aqīdahs have been actively pursuing and/or attempting to maintain this for Decades/Centuries. The 3-Kingdoms (of Wei, Shu, Wu) emerged from the Ashes of the Han-Dynasty collapsing, thus facilitating a Power-Vaccum via Ancient-China. Likewise, the Weakness & Disintegration of Leadership within the Wārithī-Community (Progenitor Wallace Poole AKA “Wārithuddīn Muhammad”) gave the 3-`Aqīdahs an Unchallenged/Uncheckecked-Lane, to pursue & dominate the Landscape of Muslim-America (particularly/especially amongst Muslim Afro/Latino-Americans).
Spanning from the 1400’s, A.H./1980’s, C.E. and onward-There were Several-Imāms/Leaders amongst Muslim Afro/Latino-Americans whom cut/severed Ties with Wallace Poole. Some-Asbāb/Reasons were Religious, Some-Asbāb were Personal, Some-Asbāb were Religio-Political, Some-Asbāb were Religio-Personal, etc. And, much like the Weakness of the Han-Dynasty, Certain-Muslims used the Weakness of Wallace as Pseudo-Justifications to rebel against their Imārah/Imāmah (Islāmic-Leadership). The Weakness of Wallace Poole was that they weren’t as stern against Rebellion as they could’ve/should’ve been. Make no Mistake: Wallace Poole was no Coward. At the Same-Time, they weren’t a Street-Nigga either. And, specifically during those Days&Times: Certain/Most-Niggas only respected al-Qattāl/Violence. Wallace Poole was way too lenient, as a Imām, as per giving Persons via their Ranks too much Autonomy: naturally that being the Main-Ingredient used to fuel ath-Thawr/al-Khurūj/Revolt against Wallace Poole & caused Several-Persons to depart from the Wārithī-Community thus making their own Communities, joining Smaller Muslim-Communities, joining Muslim-Foreigner Communities, etc. Via al-Basīrah/Vision (via Hindsight): this of course yielded Disasterous-Results for Muslim Afro-Latino Americans Religio-Socially/Politically. All of the Aforementioned-Scenarios directly&indirectly led to the emergence of the 3 `Aqīdah-Kingdoms.
The Han-Dynasty obviously was the Most-Significant Imperial-Period via Chinese-History. I mean, as per Socio-Cultural Mythos: till This-Day the Largest-Ethnicity via China are referred to, classified, etc. as the “Han Zu/Han-People” (the “Descendants”, People, Subjects, etc. of the Han-Dynasty). Likewise, amongst Countless Muslim Afro/Latino-Americans: Wallace Poole was once Imām/Islāmic-Leader of the Largest Muslim-Community via the Western-Hemisphere. There’s literally Muslim Afro/Latino-Americans whom weren’t even alive when Wallace Poole was still the Imām of the Muslim-Community they built, but they still refer to themselves as Members of the Wārithī-Community & still state that their Imām is “Wārithuddīn Muhammad”. Till This-Day, Wallace Poole is the Most-Influential Muslim via Muslim-American History.
Romance of the 3-`Aqīdahs
What’s the Marām/Agenda of these `Aqīdah-Groups?!!!
1. Establish themselves via the Hoods (where Many-Persons are downtrodden & largely unsophisticated via their Analyses of Charlatans).
2. Impress the Ignorant (via the Illusion of possessing al-`Ilmiyyah/Islāmic-Knowledge).
3. Spoonfeed Individuals whatever one wants (keeping them coming-back for more like Drug-Addicts & keeping Real/Beneficial-Knowledge Out-Of-Reach).
4. Bedazzle & seduce the Womenfolk of these Communities into their Beds.
5. Attain & maintain the Support of the Muslim-Criminals, Muslim Street-Teams, Muslim Gang-Members, etc. (using one’s Muslim-Muscle to pressure, intimidate, neutralize, eliminate, etc. Religio-Secterian Competition/Opposition).
How Gareth Bryant became the Infamous-Theologian and the Religio-Academic Outlaw
My Crown-Jewel Theological-Article:
at-Tafwīdh/Neutrality vs. at-Ta’wīl/Interpretation concerning the Sifāt/Qualities-Of-Allah
Followed by Tālib Nathaniel’s Theological-Article:
Al-qadhiyatu min ajalil-Haqeeqa tafwid al-amr li-llah
According to these Fake-Shaykhs via:
The Atharī Frat-House
The Ash`arī Social-Club
The Salafī-Mafia
etc.
Gareth Bryant was “unapproved”, “unauthorized”, etc. as per speaking on “`Aqīdah-Issues”, as if Gareth Bryant actually gives a Fuck about the Opinions/Criticisms of these Sectarian-Sluts. I do what da Fuck I wanna do…I write what da Fuck I wanna write. And, whomever from amongst these Sectarian-Sluts have a Problem with it:
Refute me or Fight me…
…TakeYourPick
#IllWait
A Mathl/Example of what I mean
Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel: the Siblings of the Pen have actually discussed this at length, as per the Reasons how/why these `Aqīdah-Camps still keep attempting to “dismiss” me.
GB
Rhajan Couram/Shadīd Muhammad had once accused me of:
a. All my Islāmic-Learning being “Self-Taught”…Absolute-Lie.
b. Never studying al-Islām via any Official/Academic-Setting……Absolute-Lie.
TN
A. Appears to be the Ashari claim as well or narrative by Salafis and Asharis. Thus they require you to complete their curriculum. They want to ensure you have the ilm. The Atharis have said they did not greenlight you to do what you’re doing. So I now wonder is that because of the narrative.
GB
It honestly doesn’t matter…
…what matters is that Rhajan Couram is a Pathological-Liar.
Salafism has 0-Curriculum. “Atharī-Curriculim” is Trash. “Ash`arī-Curriculum”…Trash. Furthermore, who da Fuck do these Atharī Frat-Boys think they b talkin to?!!!
#HypocriticalIrony
None of these Hoe-Ass “Curriculums” could ever prove Gareth Bryant Theologically-Wrong though. All of this “`Aqīdah/Creed” for what?!!! All of these Years-Of-Studying the 6-Arkān/Pillars of al-Īmān/Faith for what?!!!
TN
Some studied 20 years of Aqidah.
GB
What was it actually for, if Gareth Bryant can force all of these `Aqīdah-Camps to Lean-Back?!!! Waste-Of-`Ulūm/Studying.
TN
They respect your Arabic. Not your Aqidah.
GB
Fuck they Fake-Ass-Respect.
#HypocriticalIrony
These-Niggas never had Healthy-Marriages for 2-Decades, but they “`Ulūmed/Studied” the 6-Arkān/Pillars of al-Īmān/Faith for 2-Decades?!!! Make dat Goofy-Shitmake Sense tho Shaykh
Peep da Irony
Muhammad (Peace be upon them) taught al-`Aqīdah/Islāmic-Theology for 13-Years via Makkah…
…none of the Makkan-Companions (May Allah be pleased with them) “studied” al-`Aqīdah for 13-Years: They had Other-Shit to do as well.
TN
Honestly they believe your strength is more inviting people to Islam as in dawah…not the particulars of Aqeedah. The Atharis and Asharis kinda don’t see Aqeedah as your strength. I have heard they acknowledge your Arabic. I feel at times they don’t consider you a true Contender in the Aqeedah field. Maybe however this is due to your mocking of curriculums.
GB
Number-1:
They couldn’t “debunk” any of my `Aqīdah-Writings tho.
Number-2:
It’s literally impossible to be a Strong Dā`ī/Idlāmic-Propagator with Weak `Aqīdah/Islāmic-Theology.
Number-3:
What da Fuck make these Hoe-Ass-Sectarians think Gareth Bryant gone flock to they Wack/Fake-Ass “Curriculums” after they tried to treat me like Shit?!!!
Now…let’s actually define “Curriculum”
Curriculum
Courses, Classes, Texts, Materials, Books, Articles, Journals, Research, etc. dictated via any Ma`had (Academic-Institution).
al-Athariyyah/Atharism isn’t a “Ma`had”, rather it’s the Theological-Default of the Average/Regular-Muslim.
al-Ash`ariyyah/Ash`arism isn’t a “Ma`had”, rather it’s a Religio-Theological Hizb/Sect.
as-Salafiyyah/Salafism isn’t a “Ma`had”, rather it’s a Religio-Ideological Hizb.
So…it’s clearly obvious to see that these `Aqīdah-Camps only want to recognize/accept those whom fall in line with their Religio-Academic Feudalism, via their Religio-Sectarian Pursuasions.
For/to any&all those whom dared to “question” Gareth Bryant’s Religio-Academia, Religio-Academic Scholarship, etc.#KnowThis:
9/10 you never “taught” me anything.
9/10 you only question what intimidates/scares you.
9/10 you only question what makes you uncomfortable.
9/10 you’re resentful, because you lack the Courage I have to refuse to be a Religio-Academic Feudalism Imma`ah/Dick-Rider.
9/10 you resent the Fact that I don’t desire/require Muslim-Foreigners for Religio-Academic Validation.
9/10 you resent the Fact that I don’t use “The `Ulamā`/Scholars” as a Smokescreen, because unlike you I don’t suffer from Daddy-Issues.
By the way…do your Reasearch & check my Resume before you start Yappin bout what U Niggas think U kno bout Gareth Bryant.
Gareth Bryant/Atharī Corleone is the Atharī-Curriculum
The Atharī Frat-House, Ash`arī Social-Club, Salafī-Mafia, etc. are each/all Resentful-Mothafuckas. And, equally, all of them are envious that they could never prove anything which Gareth Bryant ever religio-theologically authored to be “Wrong”.
So, here lies the Reasons how/why Gareth committed to whippin on Atharī-Niggas, Ash`arī-Niggas, Salafī-Niggas, etc. like they’re my Runaway-Slaves.
Gareth Bryant
