The United States of America is, for many, the greatest military, economic, social, and cultural superpower the world has ever known. But how many really know its origin and its role in God’s plan? The Prince of the Believers Imam Ali (From Him is Peace) says:
And the lands of the Amarik (America) will be in complete strife, after blessings and honor were bestowed upon them, and the world has granted them streams of its grace. Iblis (the devil) lives comfortably in its cities and streets, he has divided it up and violated its honor. And the religion of Iblis appears amongst them. Lusts, arrogance, and the thirst for the mirage of material life takes hold. So they become immersed in abundance and take pride in their knowledge. Their affairs have been settled under an evil tyrant.
The United States of America is a country that was founded by the Freemasons. The founding fathers based the U.S. constitution on the Roman republic’s laws and tried to improve them. The founding fathers named themselves after Roman models, George Washington called himself Cato, while John Adams and Thomas Jefferson called themselves Cicero, and Alexander Hamilton called himself Caesar. The American government is set up to mimic the ancient Roman government with its executive, judicial and legislative branches. The architecture of the Capitol, White House, Supreme Court, and other government buildings was based on Roman architecture. Even the Roman Eagle became the great seal and emblem of the republic. The United States of America was designed to be a resurrection of the Roman empire.
Since the beginning of written human history, ancient civilizations have taken a national God. The national God would be a guardian being whose role was to protect and safeguard the people devoted to it. For example, the ancient Egyptians took Osiris and Horus, while the Phoenicians worshiped Baal. The Babylonians worshiped Marduk, while the Trojans worshiped Apollo. The founding fathers of the United States of America have also taken a national God for America. For this reason, the statement “IN GOD WE TRUST” is written on all U.S. currencies (Figure 1).
Figure 1: “IN GOD WE TRUST”
Most Americans and non-Americans for that matter assume the God being referred to here is either The God of All or the Christian God, Jesus Christ (PBUH). But the God which the Freemason founding fathers worshiped was the one-eyed god, Iblis.
If you take the Great Seal of the United States, you will find on one side, the eye of providence with the words Annuit Coeptis and Novus Ordo Seclorum written in the Roman Empire’s official language, Latin. Annuit Coeptis translates to “Providence has favored our undertakings” and Novus Ordo Seclorum translates to “New Order of the Ages (is born).” Providence means God. So, in essence, what the seal states is “The Eye of God favors our undertakings to establish a new world order for the ages.” If you draw a six-pointed star in the seal, you will find that every point of the star points to a letter that together spells the word, “MASON” (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Hexagram Spells ‘MASON’ & All-Seeing Eye
The Statue of Liberty is a statue made by the Freemasons and it symbolizes Lucifer, the light bearer, or Iblis. It is designed to look like the sun god Apollo who is the “light” of the world according to the Romans. Apollo was a Roman god whose Greek equivalent was Helios (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Apollo in His Chariot
Apollo and Helios were sometimes represented as an eye. As you can see, Apollo is clearly associated with the all-seeing eye (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Apollo in a Freemason Temple
We also notice that the Statue of Liberty is clearly a depiction of Apollo (Figure 5):
Figure 5: Statue of Apollo and Statue of Liberty
One day I said to Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), “The Antichrist Dajjal in the Bible is called Apollyon and Abaddon. ‘They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).’ ”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes.”
I said, “In Greek, the name Apollyon is the god Apollo, right? That is what is known, and the god Apollo resembles completely the Statue of Liberty.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, that is what is known as you said.”
Prophet Daniel (PBUH) warned of the Antichrist in the Old Testament. He had a vision in which he saw four kingdoms to come. Daniel (PBUH) said:
“After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.”
He also said:
“He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.’ ”
This iron beast which tramples all the nations on the Earth is America, who in such a short time was able to achieve world dominance. That final kingdom is America.
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) said:
“The Dajjal comes to the mountain of Sinam and bewitches the people and brings with him a mountain of fire and a mountain of food.”
America entered Iraq from Kuwait, from the direction of the mountain of Sinam that is present in Safwan. The mountain of fire is the military machine that America has, and the mountain of food is its giant economy. America is the Antichrist because it claims to represent Jesus Christ (PBUH) even though its ideals, actions, motives, and culture are all opposite to Jesus (PBUH) and against everything that he taught.
One day I said to Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), “Is the Antichrist also a human being or is it just America?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “The Antichrist is America, but America is run by individuals. When we say America, we are not talking about the land, but we are talking about the policies and those who are running it.”
It is clear that when the Imam (From Him is Peace) is speaking about America being the Antichrist, he is not talking about the American people or the American land, but rather he is speaking about the shadow government, the Illuminati. They are the ones who worship Iblis and take him as a god and not the general American population.
I said, “Adam Weishaupt who founded the Illuminati in 1776, I had read that it was him who actually took the persona of George Washington. Weishaupt disappeared from Germany the same year that America was founded. Weishaupt is a German word that means whitehead. For that reason the United States took the bald eagle (which has a white head) as a symbol for him, and they say that it is actually the face of Adam Weishaupt on the U.S. Dollar. Did Weishaupt have anything to do with the formation of America?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Without a doubt my son, that is true, he is one of the arms of Iblis (God’s curse is upon him).”
I said, “So he was the first American president, and he changed his name to George Washington.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes.”
Figure 6: Adam Weishaupt is George Washington
The United States of America has associated itself with the one eye. From the back of the dollar to brand logos to magazine covers to television programming, the all-seeing eye is found everywhere in everything American. American artists and advertisements always seem to give a nod to the eye. In 2008, I worked on the series, the Arrivals, which ended up taking the world by storm. It captivated the minds of millions of people worldwide as it awakened them to the fact that the Antichrist Dajjal is here. I will place here some examples of celebrities, magazine covers, and advertisements all signaling the one eye.
Figure 7: Celebrities Signaling ‘The One Eye’
Figure 8: Movies Signaling ‘The One Eye’
Figure 9: Magazines Signaling ‘The One Eye’
Figure 10: Jesus and ‘The One Eye’
It is impossible that all these celebrities, magazines, films and photographers include the one-eye symbolism by coincidence. In fact, Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) has said:
“There is no such thing as coincidence.”
The reoccurrence of the one-eye symbolism is proof of a giant conspiracy that has power and influence across all aspects of American society. It is proof of a secret society that worships the one-eyed savior, not Jesus Christ, but the Antichrist. They place the symbol of the one eye as an act of worship of their god just as the Muslims would raise the name of Allah or the Christians wear a cross.
Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) said,
“The Arrivals series that you made was a very great series. My son, in short, expose all falsehoods and be fair and truthful. Don’t just focus on exposing Sistani alone, focus on everyone. All those who call themselves Marjas (religious scholars of emulation in Shia Islam), most of them are false, Shirazi, Sistani, Bashir Al-Najafi the Pakistani, the one who calls himself Al-Hakim, and other than them, expose these bloody militias, everything that is evil.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) continues to talk about exposing evil and corruption under every other religious and non-religious banner:
Expose the Christians and Jews, the Sikhs, the Hindus, the Yazidis, the lying atheists, everyone. Expose the governments, the tradesmen of religion who play with the minds of the people and deceive them. Expose how they take money from the people in the name of religion unjustly, Khums (religious 1/5 tax) and the falsehood of it. Falsehood is much. As for America, I shall tell you something, almost anything that someone can imagine about America (its power structure and system) is true, because America is pure evil, they are cursed, disbelieving criminals, oppressors, they are scum and filth. Expose the Arabs, and the Jews, and the conspiracies concerning the matter of Jerusalem. Talk about how Egypt betrayed Iraq when it wanted to free Palestine. Expose the impure family of Saud, and Qatar and Bahrain and the conspiracies that they took part in, in secret and in open, against the Muslims and the Arabs. Expose everything and burn them in your fire my son, do not leave anything.
I said, “I have a very powerful documentary about the mind control programs that the U.S. government did in order to control human beings, and I have many testimonial videos of the victims and the demonic rituals that they would perform. I also have several documentaries about devil worshipers in high-level positions within the government. They would participate in the rape and dismemberment of human corpses and the drinking of the blood of children and other disturbing matters. They even carved the face of a devil on the vagina of one of the victims who survived, her name is Cathy O’Brien. There are even videos of Bill Clinton admitting that there were mind control programs and experiments that took place, as well as admissions by senior FBI staff that there does, in fact, exist a Satanic cult in the high levels of government.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes son, may God curse them.”
I said, “My Father, did you see the clip of Bill Clinton? He is mind controlled, isn’t he?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, that is correct.”
I said, “In the Arab world, is it like that as well? (That all the Arab heads of state are under mind control).”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “In the Arab world, mind control is not needed. They are agents and traitors and sellouts for free.”
I said, “My Father, the Egyptian actress Etemad Khorshid who was married to the former Egyptian Intelligence Chief Officer Salah Nasr wrote a book about how most Arab actresses are under mind control and are used for spying and as sex slaves for the royal families, may God curse them.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, that is correct.”
I said, “This is a very important topic.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, it is, my son.”
I said, “My Father, how is this done? Is it done through torture or magic or how?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “No son, they film them in inappropriate conditions and blackmail them and they also bribe them through money. And in exchange for their services, they get what they want for themselves and their families from the governments and their matters are eased. So, they receive prestige, but it is false prestige.”
I said, “But this is different from the American type of mind control in which the victim is unaware they are being controlled and even their memories are erased.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, it is different.”
CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research and operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. It is the site of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Its stated purpose is to find answers to the origin of our universe, in search of the Higgs boson particle and field, or what has been popularly dubbed ‘the God particle.’ In 2004, CERN unveiled ‘an unusual landmark’, which was a statue of Lord Shiva. In 2016, the Gotthard tunnel opening ceremony was filled with strange rituals, and left many people wondering, what does this have to do with science?
I asked Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), “Did you see the opening ceremony? The leaders of many countries attended.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) replied, “No, what about it?”
I said, “The opening ceremony was very satanic and had images of people being enslaved and portals opening for devils.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Of course it did because their Lord is there.”
I said, “What is the purpose of CERN? Is it to open a particular portal for devils or creatures?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “The purpose of this place is to relocate some of their symbols to that place and broaden new horizons and expand their satanic religion. I shall give you an example, they opened up CERN in the same way that someone opens a new masjid or worship center.”
I said, “But is it really used for scientific research concerning atoms and particles or is it for something else?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) replied, “Yes, the place in appearance resembles an atomic plant or the likes of it but in reality, they are attempting to communicate with new creatures other than the types that they know already and more powerful than what they know.”
I said, “Extraterrestrials or extra-dimensional entities like jinn?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Extraterrestrial. America, God curse it, has reached such things that the human being cannot even imagine. It has crossed all boundaries.”
I said, “These creatures they are trying to communicate with, are they evil? Do they want to obtain knowledge from it?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Without a doubt, they are evil, filthy and satanic.”
I said, “But they are not Gog and Magog, right? Because George Bush Senior’s name in Skull and Bones is Magog.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) replied, “He is proud of that name.”
I showed the Imam (From Him is Peace) the famous video of George Bush Senior’s eyes shapeshifting and I said, “In this video, the eyes of George Bush are shapeshifting into the eyes of a snake or a cat. Does this mean that he is possessed by a jinn or that he is a shapeshifting extraterrestrial?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, he is under control.”
I said, “Almost all of the U.S. presidents are blood-related and are all related to Adam Weishaupt as well as some European royalty.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “The extraterrestrials control them from their own planet. The type that controls them is called Shfar.”
I said, “What do they look like, my Father?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “They look like this (Figure 11). Look at its eyes and how they resemble the eyes of Bush when they changed.”
Figure 11: Image Resembling Shfar
I said, “Yes exactly. I seek refuge with God from that. He looks extremely filthy, from what planet is this creature?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Do you know the meaning of Evidon? The name of the planet is Evidon.”
I said, “So, they possess him while controlling him?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “No, it’s control from afar, remote control.”
I said, “Glory be to God! So, this Rise and battle is a cosmic one?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes.”
I said, “I wanted to ask you an important question, my Father.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes.”
I said, “They always worship Baphomet; some people say that the origin of the word goes back to Mahomet, which is how the French would pronounce Mohammed.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Unfortunately.”
I said, “So is it Mohammed? And look at this Father, how the statue of George Washington is posed in the same way as Baphomet.”
Figure 12: Baphomet and the Statue of George Washington
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, it is the same pose.”
I asked the Imam (From Him is Peace), “Is the Illuminati worshiping Mohammed because they consider him to be a devil or what?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “No son, they are creating an Anti-Mohammed (PBUH & His Family).”
I said, “May God curse them. So, they know he is the truth, and they fight him?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, they know him more than they know their own selves.”
I said, “There is this story that I read that the father of modern Satanism, Aleister Crowley, is the (biological) father of Barbara Bush, the wife of George Bush Sr. There was an article that had claimed that this magician had a sexual affair with the mother of Barbara Bush (Pauline Pierce). I wanted to ask you about this matter, is it true? The resemblance is uncanny.”
Figure 13: Barbara Bush & Aleister Crowley
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, it is a true story.”
I said, “Wow! God is Great. Was he Iblis in one of his incarnations, or what is the reality of this man that is praised by so many American artists?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said: “This cursed one is one of the biggest helpers of Iblis.”
I said, “God’s curse be upon him. Is he a devil like Sharsharan?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, his name is Sefolaq.”
I said, “My Father, there is this woman who brings forth a doll and sprays on the wall period blood and sperm and dog milk and calls it art. Her name is Marina Abramović. She is very famous and meets with famous artists and hosts parties that she calls ‘Spirit cooking.’ ”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “These rituals that she performs are rituals for sexual unions between demons and humans.”
I said, “God is Great! You mean that it is in order that demons come into the body of the man and then he has intercourse with the woman and vice versa?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Precisely, both of them.”
I said, “And what is behind these rituals of placing dolls of women and children with their heads cut off?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, these are satanic rituals, their purpose is to draw closer to Iblis and gain intercession and enforcement from him.”
I said, “So these extraterrestrials that are controlling these people, are they worshiping Iblis too, or is Iblis working from one end and those from another? The goal of the evil extraterrestrials is to control the planet, right? So, they and Iblis have the same goal?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “There is a difference between them, son, but their goal is the same.”
I said, “My Father, the brothers filmed an interview with a former military officer in the U.S. government and he spoke about ISIS and how it was made by America and Israel.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes.”
I said, “My Father, was 9/11 an inside job?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, Israel and America are the ones who did that. And why did they do that?”
I said, “In order to fight Imam Mahdi (PBUH)?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, and also for money and for the wealth and treasures that are present in those countries and to exact revenge against the people of those countries, because they are their enemies.”
I said, “America doesn’t care about anything but its own interests.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “America cares about no one but itself. It is also responsible for Brexit in order to weaken the European Union and it is the one who created the refugee crisis in order to destroy the European Union, which it sees as a competitor to it.”
Satan’s ideology, which must die, is ‘Me first.’ Selfishness, self-centeredness, focusing on the I, the ego, and its needs, not caring about anyone else but one’s own self. That is the ideology of Iblis, and it is reflected in America in many ways. Everything in America is focused on highlighting the self and individualism and looking out for one’s own interests above all. ‘Me First’ is the ideology which can be seen in the U.S. financial system, Capitalism, where an individual is free to make as much money as he wants even if everyone else suffers because of it. While in the apparent it seems fair and just and free, Iblis has only promoted these ideals because in it is the destruction of humanity. When individuals are too worried about their own interests, they can never come together for the greater good of humanity, and they can never be like God. Individuality and self-centeredness create differences and differences are not a good thing because it is the opposite of unity. Satan wants to ensure humanity is never united. Let us examine what are some of the accomplishments of the American way.
In the meantime, according to the United Nations, 25,000 die every single day from starvation, 10,000 of them are children. 854 million people worldwide are estimated to be malnourished and high food prices drive another 100 million into poverty and hunger. 1.2 billion people are considered to be very poor and extremely vulnerable to rising food prices. Is it not a criminal act to be able to save a person’s life and yet not do so and instead watch them die? If a person was walking down the street and saw a child dying on the side of the road because they had no food or water, and walked away leaving them to die, would they not be prosecuted? What is the difference here? How can a system which allows three individuals to own as much wealth as 50 percent of a population of people be a good system, or a divine system, or a system which Jesus Christ (PBUH) would approve of? In fact, the system is the opposite of all Christian ideals and all that which is good.
According to the United Nations, 2 billion people around the globe or one third of the population are smallholder farmers and their families and the majority of smallholder farmers and landless farm workers live on less than $2 a day. Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos could feed a third of the world for 75 days at $2 a day. That is 1,875,000 lives (25,000 lives per day) that would be saved in those 75 days. However, they choose instead to keep that money in their bank accounts. The top ten billionaires who have a combined total wealth of $1,500 billion could feed one third of the planet at $2 a day for 375 days. That would save 9,375,000 lives during that time period. Lives that could work and contribute to making the world a better, more sustainable place. But, dollars are worth more than lives in a world that follows Iblis’ ideology. An ideology that puts its own self-interests above the interests of humanity. Ten selfish people should live extravagantly instead of ten million living at all!
Corporate greed is responsible for a lot of food waste in the world. To think that even if those top ten billionaires in the world, only ten people for God’s sake, did not give a single penny, there would still be enough food on the planet to prevent a single person from starving, is a sickening idea. But where is this food and where does it go? Supermarkets and businesses choose to destroy their food and throw it away when it comes close to expiring instead of giving it to the poor because they want to write it off on their taxes. If they gave it away to poor people, they would not be able to write it off and that would cost them more. So instead of losing profits, the billionaires who own these supermarkets and food chains decide to throw away the food and let the starving starve. Are these the ideals of a good God or a nation built on Christian values? If Jesus (PBUH) were alive today, would he approve of this abomination? A nation whose God is money and is blind-eyed to the poor and yet claims to be representing Jesus Christ (PBUH) is nothing but an Antichrist.
Every year the top ten military spenders in the world spend almost $1,500 billion on their militaries and weapons that are in turn used to destroy the lives of billions of poor people around the world. If the world lived in peace and harmony for one year, and instead of spending that money on weapons and militaries, spent it on feeding the poor, we could once again feed every single hungry person and save almost 10 million lives. But the state of Iblis and the ideology of Satan prefers death for humanity over life. Jesus (PBUH) gave his life in order that people may live, and the country that claims to represent Jesus’ ideals continuously does the opposite of everything that Jesus preached. The great tragedy is also in the fact that all of the churches and non-working scholars of all the different religions remain silent.
A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’ ” “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said. When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
We know that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, therefore it is impossible for a rich man to enter heaven and it also means that a rich man cannot be a follower of Jesus (PBUH). Why is that the case? Imam Ali (From Him is Peace) said:
“Allah ordained that the livelihood of the poor is in the wealth of the rich. Whenever a poor man is hungry it is because of what a rich man has enjoyed; and Allah will question them about it.”
The Holy Qur’an states:
“And in their wealth there was a rightful share ˹fulfilled˺ for the beggar and the poor.”
It is clear then that God only gives us what we need. Anytime we are sustained beyond our needs, it is actually the sustenance of someone else. Poverty exists because the rich are stealing the sustenance of the poor. God intended that all mankind be equal. In fact, those that save riches instead of giving it to the poor, are warned in the Holy Qur’an:
“And those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah - give them tidings of a painful punishment.”
The solution for humanity lies in the redistribution of wealth amongst all mankind. All of the excessive wealth of the rich should be confiscated and redistributed. The people who would object to this matter and prefer that tens of millions of people die every year and suffer in order that a small select group of elites live a life of luxury, are enemies to mankind and should be arrested and prosecuted for being accomplices to murder and mass genocide. The ones who claim that this matter would be undemocratic should hold a worldwide referendum where all mankind could vote on whether they agree to a redistribution of wealth or whether they prefer that everyone keeps what they have. I think the overwhelming majority will vote for redistribution. The so-called rabbis, priests, shaikhs and imams of every religion should also be forbidden from ever preaching in the name of the Prophets and Messengers if they disagree with this proposal. They should be arrested and prosecuted as well, as traitors to humanity. The Prophets and Messengers are innocent of them and they are enemies of God.
Just as God made it so that the Savior of the Israelites, Moses (PBUH), be raised in the palace of Pharaoh, God in this day and age deemed it that the Riser/Qaim of the Family of Mohammed (From Him is Peace) come forth from the palace of Iblis, America. Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) was sent forth amongst the people of Iraq, and he tried to guide them to the truth, but they disbelieved in him, fought him, and tried to kill him. Instead of supporting Al-Hussein (From Him is Peace) whom they have wept over for years, they built a multibillion-dollar industry profiting from the tragedy of Karbala. They abandoned the Prince of the Believers (From Him is Peace) on the anniversary of Ghadir Khum and held elections in its place, adopting the American so-called democratic form of rulership. They abandoned and disbelieved in the Supremacy of God. They told Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) that their savior was America, and that they did not need a son of Fatimah (From Her is Peace). As a result, God sent them the successor of Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace), from America and as an American speaking English. Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) said that America is the only country on the planet that never had a Prophet or Messenger sent to it. The Qaim/Riser of the Family of Mohammed (From Him is Peace) is the first divinely appointed successor to come from America.
My American heritage stretches a long time, over four hundred years. My own family history on my mother’s side goes back to the founding of America. I grew up with oral traditions that my great-grandfather bought Ellis Island for a very cheap price from Native Americans and held onto it for a short period of time. It is interesting to note that Ellis Island is the island that the Statue of Liberty now sits on, and the Statue of Liberty was initially titled ‘Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia’ and was to be positioned in the middle of the Suez Canal before being given to America.
There are good things about America, for out of America came the Riser of the Family of Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) and America was the first country to allow the registration of our religion and allowed us to freely practice it, and the American people, for the most part, are a good people. In fact, Imam Ahmed Al-Hassan’s (From Him is Peace) views on the American people are quite favorable. One day I was speaking to the Imam (From Him is Peace) about the expansion of the religion.
I said, “Have you ever been to America?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Why the question, my son?”
I said, “I was just curious to know where you have been.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “I have traveled all across Europe, the Gulf countries, Egypt, Russia….”
I said, “Russia?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes.”
I said, “What was your opinion about it?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “The people or the land?”
I said, “Both.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “The people are not very good, the land is great.”
I said, “And America? Have you been?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, I have been.”
I said, “What states did you visit?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “California, Washington D.C., Washington State, New York, and Nevada.”
I said, “America’s nature is beautiful.”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “The people are nice and are better than the Europeans and more conservative.”
I said, “You told me before that the best place for the Ansar to gather would have been America?”
The Imam (From Him is Peace) said, “Yes, America or New Zealand or Canada or Oman.”
