I absolutely agree that this is not the way to serve Islam. Islam
does not spread by TRICKS or ill-manners such as forcing
simple-minded people to photocopy 20 copies of a list of advices.
Secondly Islam does not accept threatening of
people to propagate Islam. Thirdly Islamic principles have been
completed 14 centuries ago and legislations can NOT be accepted
through DREAMS. Fourthly I`d like everybody to be sensible and not to
waste their time translating/typing/forwarding/photocopying
(20copies!!!!! what a merical number that brings in money and
employment????) this message.
Fifthly I would like to point out that apart from the few advices
with regard to wife obedience to husband, paying in charity,
knowledge of pilgrimage and prayers duties apart from this the whole
letter is an absolute non-sense. Had it been allowed to bat in Islam
I'd challenge to pay stlg1,000 to anyone who can proof the truth of
the letter or the existence of the individuals therein.
Finally I remember since 1986 when I was a student at Sultan
Qaboss University that a similar Arabic version of the letter was
going around and some knowledgeable personal stated that the So
Called "Sheikh Ahmed, watchman of the Holy Mosque" does not exist in
Saudi Arabia. I still also remember that the Under secretary of SQU
at that time stated that he have seen such a letter 30 years ago
(probably 1950ish)
Please stop circulating these lies and muslims should remember that
faith and good deeds after the mercy of Allah lead to paradise.
My apologies to the long text or any spelling mistakes.
