1 بسم هللا الرحمن الرحیم والحمد هلل رب العالمین وصلی هللا علی محمد وآل محمد االئمة والمهدیین وسلم تسلیما کثیرا In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Intensely Merciful. Praise be to Allah Lord of the Worlds. May the prayers and peace of Allah be upon Muhammad and his progeny, the Imams and the Mahdis The Star of David, or the six-pointed star is nowadays frequently linked to the terrorist-state of Israel and to the Jews. But is it really only a symbol for the Jews? And what about the history of this symbol? The David Star or the six-pointed star is controversial and many people and specifically Muslims are ignorant about it, and what we often see on television are Muslims burning this flag. They are ignorant about the fact that this symbol belongs to the Ummah and Shiat of the Prophet Muhammad and his Holy Household (peace be upon them all). It was a symbol used by the Prophets of Allah (swt) and by the Holy Imams (as). Therefore the purpose of this document is to show the link between the Prophets and Imams (a.s.) and the six-pointed star. And the link between the Savior of Mankind at the end of times, Imam Ahmad al Hassan (a.s.), and this six-pointed star. Because of the confusion and ignorance of many scholars and followers of scholars I decided to collect hadeeth and information collected and spread by the Ansaar of Imam al Mahdi (as) and by Imam Ahmad al Hassan al Yamani (as), the Messenger of Imam al Mahdi (as). It s time for us to claim this Holy Symbol and fight the ignorance about this subject. Abdul Kareem Ansary 1

2 A journalist once asked Imam Ahmad al Hassan (as) about the reasoning in choosing the Star of David as symbol for his message, he (as) answered: It is the choice of Allah and not my own choice. The six-pointed star is the Star of David pbuh, and he is a Prophet sent from Allah and we are the inheritors of the prophets. 1 So here we can see that the Yamani (as) is saying that it is a symbol of Allah (swt) and it is the Star of David (as). In Judaism the star is also known as Magen David. The words Magen David literally mean Shield of David (as). And it is said that David (as) had a six-pointed shield to protect himself with. On the website of the saviorofmankind.com we can read some more information about this symbol on the forum: If Allah wills, the following points will make clear that the star of the Prophet of Allah, David (PBUH) is the shield that Allah commanded Him to make, and in it is the name of the Great Prophet of Allah, Muhammad (PBUH): 1- Allah said in the Holy Quran, commanding David: {And assuredly We gave David grace from Us, (saying): O ye hills and birds, echo his psalms of praise! And We made the iron supple unto him, Saying: Make thou long coats of mail and measure the links (thereof). And do ye right. Lo! I am Seer of what ye do.} Surah Saba, 10 and 11. So God commanded him to make the shields: {And We taught him the art of making garments (of mail) to protect you in your daring. Are ye then thankful?} Surah Al-Anbiya, 80. The shape of the shield which David (PBUH) made by the command of Allah, is six-sided, as it is where the top point is for the protection of the collarbone area, and the two high points are for the protection of the person s chest. then the shield becomes a little narrow where we find the middle part of the narrowing of the human body and the bottom two points have been designed to protect the waist, and as for the bottom point, it is designed to protect the private area. The old David shields are found in the international museums. The origin of the Star of David (PBUH) is a symbol of this shield. This is a simplified proof of the star from the Holy Quran. 2- This star has been mentioned in the narrations of the family of Muhammad (PBUT): as it has been mentioned in one of the narrations of Imam Ridha (PBUH) in the book Al Tuhfa Al Radhawiya page 294 as a form of protection. It has also been mentioned in one of the narrations of the family of Muhammad in the book Daar Al Salaam by Mirza Al Noori Al Tubrisi page 20 part 3, and it was also mentioned in the book Akseer Al Da awaat in the name of Khatam Sulayman (Seal of Solomon) page 155 and in the book Makarim Al Akhlaq page 336 is mentioned to push away one type of fevers, as Imam Ridha (PBUH) wrote two protective seals to one of his friends and he ordered him to stamp on it the seal of Solomon seven times. It was also reported by Sheikh Radhy Al Deen Al Tubrisi (( May God s mercy be upon him )) in the book Makarim Al Akhlaq page 336 that the seal of Solomon 1 Question 19 2

3 as it is well-known, is trilled between three forms. One of them is the six-sided star which prophet Solomon (PBUH) inherited from David (PBUH), ((And Solomon was David's heir. And he said: O mankind! Lo! we have been taught the language of birds, and have been given (abundance) of all things. This surely is evident favour. )) from surah Al-Naml. 3- The stars in general is a symbol of Ahlu al Bayt (AS) Allah said: {Nay, I swear by the places of the stars - (75) And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew} from surah Al-Waqia. It has been mentioned about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) My Family are the stars of Earth". We understand from this that it is forbidden to insult stars on purpose in any way. 4- The unanimity of the Jewish nation- and what I mean by the Jewish nation is the Jews in general and not only the occupiers of Palestine- on this star, it is the star of the Prophet of Allah, David (PBUH) for its frequency to them and no-one can overrule the consensus and/or this frequency only from inside the same Jewish nation considering it as the representative of David (PBUH). the frequency of our narrations in our doctrine with the text on Imam Ali Ibn Abu Talib (A.S) that this star cannot be revoked because of the rejection of the traitors on earth on the truth shown. Furthermore, one should pay extra attention to that this symbol as it hasn t been copied and hasn t been said to be a lie by any of the Prophets or Imams (PBUT). 5- The decision of the Christian nation to the Jews that this star is the star of the Prophet of Allah, David (PBUH), and if you want, check the Britannica Encyclopaedia. 6- Muslims generally admitted that this star is the star of the Prophet of Allah, David (PBUH), and the evidence about this is that none of the Muslim scholars objected on viewing this star in Sahar channel everyday and under it was written the phrase Star of David. 7- This star was found on a wooden board used for the front of Noah s (PBUH s) ark in a shape close to a hand found by archaeologists, and on it are the words Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hussein. You can find the whole story in the book Ali Wal-Anbiya (Ali and the Prophets), by Hakim Siyalkooty page 37. It was also found on a piece of antique clay in Dhi Qar Governorate. 8- The confusion caused to the Muslims about this symbol is because of this symbol being used in the flag of the conquerors of the occupied land, Palestine. The truth is that this entity started fooling the Jewish people by using this symbol which refers to the awaited reformer in the Jewish nation ((And verily we have written in the Scripture, after the Reminder: My righteous slaves will inherit the earth)) from surah Al-Anbiya. To make it more clear, consider that they named their foundling country in the name Israel even though this name is holy in the Torah, Bible and Quran. So the conquerors of the state of the occupied Palestinian territory use religious godly symbols to delude the Jews that they are the pavers to the awaited reformer, which in their religion, is the Prophet Elijah (PBUH). Same as Saddam (may god s curse be upon him) used the words Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest) when he put it on the Iraqi flag to delude the Muslims that he is defending Islam. Also, as the Jewish scholars used to discredit Jesus (PBUH) by capturing and handing him over to the Roman Governor Billets to crucify Him. Also like the forfeited scholars today using the turban to delude the Iraqi people that elections are right and are a duty, even though knowing that the approval of 3

4 the election requires the approval of the election that took place in the porch of Bani Sa ida and in it the right of succession was forced from Imam Ali (PBUH). So think how the people left Ali (PBUH) by himself on the day of Ghadeer when they left his visit and went to the accursed election polls, same as the people who left him after the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and went to the porch elections. 9- This star is the star of Imam al Mahdi (PBUH) as the Shiite writer Majid Al-Mahdy proved it in his book (The American War on Imam Mahdi (PBUH) Has Started), which is published on the internet. Regardless of the research of the writer Majid Al-Mahdy, I will mention to you some of the narratives that show you the sincerity of this meaning: a- It was mentioned about Ahlul al Bayt (A.S) along the lines: the Qa im has the stick of Moses and the Shield of David and others from the inheritance of other Prophets and Imams (PBUT). b- It was mentioned about Ahlu al Bayt (A.S) that in front of the Qa im, a banner driven by a man from the Family of Muhammad sealed at the top of the spear by the seal of the Great Master. And the Great Master is Muhammad (PBUH) as it was mentioned in Dua Al-Nadba and his seal is the same as his name, as it is acceptable with us today that the famous characters seal is their name and the clearest example is that Sayed.Al-Sadr s (Jerusalem) seal was his name. And this name of Muhammad (PBUH) is found on the top of the spear in the shape of a six-sided star, so imagine it. c- I mentioned before that the stars are symbols of Ahlu al Bayt (A.S). As for the six-sided star, it means the word of Muhammad (PBUH), as the left of the family of Muhammad (PBUT), Ahmad Al Hassan (PBUH) showed. And by this, it is clearly shown that the Shield of David is Muhammad, and that by this shield, Imam Mahdi (A.S) protects Himself. This impression is for the word of Muhammad (PBUH) in the hand of Ahmad Al-Hassan is from the clearest evidence on the uniqueness of man with the defence of the of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and every pillar of everything in Islam. this is what proves that Ahmad Al Hassan is the Guardian and Messenger of Imam Al Mahdi (A.S) and the promised Yamani and who ever turns his back away from him is from the people of Hell Fire. He defends the sanctity of Islam and he came in the narratives from the characteristics of guardians that they defend the sanctity of Islam by Word and Deed, and they analyse the Halal and deny the Haram. So here are most of the Muslim scholars and the Shiite in particular. They are heedless of this great verse ((And landmarks (too), and by the star they find a way)) from surah Al-Nahl, so the star has been humiliated. trampled underfoot. burnt by the Muslims and they don t know that they are humiliating the name of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), the shield of David (PBUH) and the star of Imam Al-Mahdi (PBUH). It is also not surprising that none of the Shiite scholars have realised and no-one of them has objected to profane the Holy Quran when the criminal Saddam wrote it with his blood. No-one asked to execute him because of this crime other than Ahmad Al Hassan. He is the heir of the Prophets, as he is mentioned in the narrative that says ((The most knowledgeable are the heirs of the Prophets)) applies to him. As for the scholars that are error traitors. the Quran and David (PBUH) and Muhammad (PBUH) are not important to them, and if they were from the People of the Quran then they would ve defended it, and if they were from the followers of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), they wouldn t have left his name burning day and night on the hands of the Muslims, as 4

5 David (PBUH) spent his whole life struggling to uphold the word of Allah and yet he didn t give in to the traitors. 10-This star is found in the end of every ayah from the ayahs of the Holy Quran and I mean by that shape the one that has the number of the ayah, and it is this shape. It is a six-sided shape as it is not hidden. 11-The six-sided shape is the shape of the beehives that Allah commanded the prophets that own it, to take care of instead of commanding them to take care of the cattle. So visualize its relationship with the Mahdi (PBUH). 12-What I have mentioned about the Star of the Prophet of Allah, David (PBUH), from the sacredness of violating the sanctity applies to the Star of Solomon and it is the five-sided star which is found in the Iraqi flag and is also found in the shape of small stars in the American flag. The same applies to the flag risen up by the conquerors of Jerusalem, so it is FORBIDDEN to burn these flags, unless the stars are removed from them. After all of what I mentioned, I don t think that there s anyone that dares to violate the sanctity of this Mahdi and David star except the one who is arrogant and the one who doesn t believe in the Day of Judgement. 2 So all praise to Allah (swt) for guiding us to the Yamani (as) who gives us hidden and lost knowledge. Many Muslims are also not aware of the deeper meaning of the name Israel. Most people know this name only from the terrorist-state of Israel and assume that it is just any given name for this illegal funded state. Due to their blind hate towards the zionists they forget or neglect the deeper meaning of this name. We can see the Yamani (as) explaining in his book The Allegories the name Israel : Israel means Abdullah (the servant of Allah). And some Jews present in the Holy Land are from the descendants of Prophet Jacob pbuh, and he is Abdullah, and according to the Jews he is Israel. And according to the Jews, the six-pointed star is the Star of David, and it means the Victorious. And to them it is a sign of the awaited reformer, who is the Prophet Elijah pbuh, who ascended long before the dispatch of Jesus pbuh. And they are awaiting his return, and he is currently one of the ministers of Imam Al-Mahdi pbuh. As previously mentioned, Israel means Jacob, but the truth is that Israel means Abdullah, and it means Muhammad pbuhap. And the children of Israel are the progeny of Muhammad pbuhap, and their followers are as well; rather, all Muslims are in general as it is mentioned in the Quran. In the interpretation of Al-Ayashi and others, Haron bin Muhammad said: I asked Abu Abdullah pbuh about the Almighty s saying, {O children of Israel}. He pbuh said, We, in particular, are them. Muhammad bin Ali said: I asked Al-Sadiq pbuh about the saying of Allah, {O children of Israel}. He said, It is particular to the progeny of Muhammad pbuhap

6 In the book of Sunan Abi Dawood, from the Prophet pbuhap, that he said: I am Abdullah, my name is Ahmad. And I am Abdullah, my name is Israel. So whatever He has commanded him [meaning Israel], then I am commanded by it. And whatever concerns him, concerns me. As for the six-pointed star, it is from the inheritance of the prophets, which Al-Qaim Muhammad bin Al-Hassan Al-Mahdi pbuh inherited, and it symbolizes him pbuh, and it means the victorious and supported. And the Zionist Jews stole this star, and adopted it as an emblem for themselves, and as a symbol for their awaiting of the promised global reformer; and according to them, as I mentioned previously, he is Prophet Elijah pbuh. And whoever insults this star and curses it is like he who curses the words Allahu Akbar that Saddam (Allah curse him) has placed on the flag of Iraq. Thus, he will be of those who curse the inheritance of the prophets pbut. Therefore this star is the star of Al-Mahdi pbuh. And it is narrated from them pbut: If the banner of truth appears, the people of the East and the West curse it. So be cautious, O believers, because if the curse does not find a target, it returns to the one who said it, as mentioned by the Prophet pbuhap. And David pbuh is our David, and Solomon pbuh is our Solomon, and the temple is our temple (we Muslims), and not the temple of the Zionist Jews, the murderers of the prophets. And the Holy Land is our land, and it must be freed and opened, and the flag of There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and Ali is the successor of Allah must be raised in it. {Verily, the ones most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet and those who believe. And Allah is the supporter of the believers.} And the last of our prayers is that all Praises are due to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. 3 If we look at these words of Imam Ahmad al Hassan (as) and think about their meaning, it becomes clear to us that the name Israel and the six-pointed star have a deep and significant meaning. I also want to point out the following saying of the Yamani (as): If the banner of truth appears, the people of the East and the West curse it. The banner of truth is the banner declaring the Supremacy of Allah and also the banner of the Yamani (as). The people of the West might be the Western nations such as the USA and Europe. And the people of the East might be the people from the Islamic countries. So could it be that the West will curse this banner because it will be associated with Islam, and the East will curse it because it will be falsely linked to Zionism? And God knows best. 3 The Allegories, question 23. 6

7 The complete hadeeth: Ali ibn Ahmad from Abaydallah ibn Musa Al-Alawi from Muhammad ibn Al-Hussein from Muhammad ibn Sanan from Qateeba Al-Asha from Abaan son of Tagleb he says: "I heard Aba Abudllah (Imam Jaafer) a.s saying: "When the banner of truth appears, the people of the east and the west shall curse it. Do you know why? He said: No. He said: This is from what the people shall see from his Ahlulbayt before his emergence. 4 This hadeeth is speaking about a person from the Ahlul Bayt who will come before the emergence of the Mahdi (as). Furthermore we can read that this person will be linked to the banner of truth, which the people from the East and West will curse. In the hadeeth of the Ahlul Bayt (as) we can read more about the six-pointed star, let s take a look at one of these hadeeth: Narrated from Sheikh Rathi Al Deen Al Tabrasi in his book Makarem Al Akhlaq (p.401) from AlWasha: A man entered to Al Ritha pbuh so he said to him: Why do I see you pale? The man replied: A bad feaver has prolonged upon me. So he (AlRitha) pbuh called for a book and pen and wrote: In the Name of Allah the Merciful and Intensely Merciful, By the Name of Allah and with the Name of Allah, Abjad Hawaz take off from this person son of this person by the permission of Allah the Most High, and so he then stamped on the bottom of the paper 7 times with the stamp of Solomon pbuh, and so then he opened it, so the companion of the book saw in the footnote (he mentioned) 3 stars. Two stars have 8 (corners) and one of it has a dot inside the triangle and the third star is the 6 pointed star that is called the Star of David pbuh. Ansari brother Zolfigar posted on the forum of Hashemstudios.com the following: Thanks to the Ansari Sheikh Nathem Al Uqaily he gave a description of how the Seal of Solomon would look like from the Shia books. And this time the following hadeeths will prove to you that the Seal of Solomon contains a Star of David, also according to the famous scholars' brief descriptions. The Ring of the Prophet Muhammad pbuhap: From Aban son of Uthman from Abi Abdullah (a.s): "When the demise of the Messenger of Allah pbuhap took place. Imam Ali (a.s)said: "I looked at him until he removed his ring and he said: Wear this ring in my life. He said: I looked at it before I placed it in my finger, and so I wished with all what this ring left." [AlKafi v.1 p.236] Prince of the believers pbuh said: when Omar(ibn Al Khattab)got killed he called them saying: "I call you by Allah is there anybody who received inheritance of the weapon of the Messenger of Allah, his banner, and his ring other than me? They said: No" [Basa'er AlDarajat p.202] 4 Behar Al-Anwar v.52 p

8 From Abi Jaafer pbuh he said: "Prince of the believers exited out during a night and he was saying: Hamhama Hamhama, it is a dark night, the Imam(meaning Ali himself) has exited,wearing the shirt of Adam, on his hand is the ring of Solomon and the staff of Moses pbuh" [AlKafi v.1 p ] Here we know that Imam Ali a.s was wearing the ring of Solomon which is the Prophets' ring: Muhammad Al Jawad also wearing the ring of Solomon: From Hussein son of Musa son of Jaafer he said:"i saw on the hand of Abi Jaafer Muhammad son of Ritha pbuh a ring with a silver band so I said: Someone like you wears this! He said pbuh: "This is the ring of Solomon son of David pbuh". [Mustadrak AlWasa'el v.3 p.284] And this ring can be the same one with a black ringstone that Imam Al Sadeq pbuh removed: Reported from Abdullah son of Sinan he said: "We mentioned about the ring of the Messenger of Allah pbuhap, he said: You want me to show you? He said: Yes. So he then took out the ring with cotton underneath it, with a silver band and a black ringstone written on it Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah pbuhap he said: The ringstone of the Prophet pbuhap was black" [Kafi v.6 p ] The Daaba(beast/creature of the earth)the Yamani pbuh Prince of the believers pbuh said:"the emergence of the creature from the earth from the Safa, with him is the ring of Solomon and the staff of Moses pbuh, he will place the ring on the face of every believer and it will imprint that is a believer,and he will place it on the face of a disbeliever and it will be written this is a disbeliever" [Kamal Al Deen Tamam Al Nima p.527] 12th Imam Imam Muhammad son of Hassan a.j I said to the Ritha pbuh are you the companion of the matter? So he said: I am the companion of the matter but I am not the one that will spread it (the earth) with justice after tyranny is covered. The riser is the one that if he emerges before he was in his old age, and then in the appearance of a young adult.. with him is the staff of Moses, and the ring of Solomon pbuh, the fourth one from my sons." [p.376 Kamal AlDeen Wa Tamam Al Ni'ma] It was said that the ring of Solomon is shaped with 6 corners, as this was mentioned in the footnote of Bihar Al Anwar v.92 p.28 #2 (And the picture of Seal of Solomon is that you draw two triangles on top of the other, creating a celestial object with 6 corners (star of David)" Also in the footnote of AlAkhlaq for Tabrasi footnote at p.403: (The picture of the Seal of Solomon in the famous books are like this: (He draws the star of David in one of the pictures). 8

9 So the star of David pbuh is linked to the inheritance of the Prophet pbuhap and Imams, so woe onto those ignorant ones saying its for Zionists only. 5 Now let s take a look at the drawn stars in Makarem Al Akhlaq (page 507): 5 9

10 By looking at these drawings we can conclude that the six-pointed star as drawn in Makarem Al Akhlaq is the similar six-pointed star used by the Zionists. Ansari Sheikh Saber from Egypt did also explain the following about the six-pointed star: As for the six-pointed star, know the six-pointed star is from the inheritances of the Prophets (as), and Imam Al Mahdi (as) has inherited it, and it is a symbol that indicates him, and he inherited it from his forefathers and after a long life, it will be inherited by Ahmad Al Hassan (as), and it means the victorious and the one given victory, and you shall find that the first person who made the six-pointed start was our master David (as), and he was the one given victory, and he killed Goliath, and Allah (swt) gave him kingship. So the army of Saul became victorious by David (as) killing Goliath. And the Zionist stole this symbol and they are waiting for the Awaited world Savior and with them it is Elijah (as). What they do have right is that Elijah (as) is a world/reformer and he will come in the smaller rise, so the ones who are truly believers from the Jews will notice him and they will believe in Ahmad Al Hassan (as). And the one who insults this star is the one who insults the word Allah is Great. Look at the level here! And Allahu Akbar is a phrase that was put in the flag of Iraq, just because Saddam put this on the flag does he believe in Allah (swt), do they believe that, no of course they do not. So when Ahmad Al Hassan (as) puts this star on the flag in this time, does that mean they believe and they will not insult it, no. And for everytime they curse it, they are cursing the word Allahu Akbar. Verily the banner of truth if it appears, the people of the east and west shall curse it. So when Ahmad Al Hassan (as) came with the six-pointed star, what did the Muslims of the east and west do, they cursed it, and said look at this Israeli agent, Ahmad Al Hassan (as), so this curse, if it does not find in it its place, it will return to its companion. If you say Oh Allah curse so and so, if the curse does not find a place, it will go back to its companion. Verily those who are in disbelief and die as disbelievers, those are the ones who Allah's (swt) Curse is upon. So the condition of cursing with one who disagrees with us, it is that he is a disbeliever and died while they are disbelievers. Those ones are the ones who upon them are the Curse of Allah (swt). So cursing the alive disbelievers is not permissible, because the door of repentance is opened, except for the one the Imam (as) appoints. The Quranic rule is that cursing is ever lasting banishing from the mercy of Allah, except for the one that the Imam (as) appoints. Allah gave His servants a chance to repent until his soul comes out, so perhaps he will repent before the soul comes out of the throat, and the curse will go back to its companion. So be careful, the culture of cursing is with many of the people in this day, so if you want to curse, you follow the way of the Imam, if he (as) is not cursing, then we should not curse. Now do you know the issue of cursing the alive person is not permissible except for the ones that the Imam (as) appoints? So there are two conditions, the Imam appoints the person to be cursed, or he dies upon disbelief. 10

11 And David (as) is our David, and Solomon (as) is our Solomon, and the temple is our temple, we the Muslims, it is not the temple of the Zionists, the killers of the prophets, and the Holy Land is our land, verily the land is for Allah (swt), He inherits it to who He wants. Imam Ali (as) said we are the pious, and the Earth all of it is ours, Allah (swt) has inherited it to us and made us caliphs in it, and we must open it and free it, and we must raise the banner that there is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and Ali is the vicegerent of Allah (swt) upon it. All praises are due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. 6 Now let s look further at the words of Imam Ahmad al Hassan (as) about the six-pointed star: And I have noticed these days posts about the six-pointed star and its relation to Zionism, since the Jewish state established in Palestine places the six-pointed star on its flag. And it seems that a group from the elders of the Wahhabis and the elders of the shia of the clerics, and a group from the ignorant ones who follow them and applaud them, still insist that the six-pointed star is a Zionist logo that belongs to the Zionists and the Jewish people and no one else, even though we have been trying to make them understand for over eight years that there is no permanent bond between the sixpointed star and Zionism, and that those who occupy Palestine are merely one group of people among many who have used it across the ages. We have been trying to make them understand existent and concrete facts, like the existence of the star on the Box of Fatima in Turkey, and in the Museum of Imam al-hussein pbuh in Karbala. And Fatima is the daughter of Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, so do they accuse her of being a Zionist?! [The box of Fatima al-zahra (as), notice the six-pointed star at the right side of the box >>] We have been trying to make them understand that the six-pointed star was found in the artifacts of the most ancient civilizations on the face of the earth, in the Iraq of Noah, Abraham, Sumer and Akkad, which existed before any Jewish person existed on the face of this earth. [<< The shape of the six-pointed star in the ancient civilization of Sumer] We have been trying to make them understand that it was on the Islamic coins, and that it was on the flag of some of the Islamic countries. We have been trying, and we have been trying...and understanding is still difficult for these few ignorant ones who are led by some ignorant clerics of religion. Is it reasonable for it to be 6 Sheikh Saber (Allegories 30) 11

12 this difficult to understand that there is no permanent bond between the six-pointed star and Zionism?! It has been over eight years, and they still have not understood this simple matter from us. It is as if I am preaching to a crowd that does not understand a single letter from what I say. Alas, O Hussein, for you stand preaching to crowds like this one. Alas, O Ali, for you stand preaching to crowds like this one. Alas, O Muhammad, for you stand preaching to crowds like this one. O Allah, You are more knowledgeable of their truths: {Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are nothing but livestock. Rather, they are more astray in [their] way.} - Surat al-furqan (The Standard) 25:44. 7 [Islamic Coins, Rassid, al-mansur 'Abd Allah ( h) >>] Imam Ahmad al Hassan (as) made it very clear that this symbol has nothing to do with Zionism and that the evil people using this symbol are not entitled to do so, let alone function as representatives for this symbol. Such as the Wahabi state of Saudi Arabia who has no link whatsoever with the words There s no god but Allah and Muhammed (pbuhap) is His messenger, as displayed their flag. Or the salafi and sufyani terrorists who wave with islamic flags and shout Allahu Akbar while beheading and killing innocent and unarmed people. All these groups are in no way entitled to use these holy words and symbols. Such as Zionism has nothing to do with the six-pointed star. I also want to remind you that the six-pointed star is used in many religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, etc. I don t want to elaborate on this, since there is plenty of information available online on this subject. The six-pointed star is also part of the unique creation of Allah (swt). If, for example, we look at a microscopic photo of a snowflake, we see these amazing geometric patterns appearing. Many of these pattern form a hexagram, or a six-pointed star/flower. Another sign that this symbol is divine and holy. [Example of a snowflake under the microscope, notice the six points >>]

13 I would like to conclude with a dua of Imam Ahmad al Hassan (a.s.): O Allah, You are Superior in rank, Mighty in power, Severe in wrath, Free from needing the creation, Great in pride, Capable of what You will, Near in mercy, Honest in promise, Abundant in favor, Kind in calamity, Near when You are called, Encompassing of what You have created, Acceptor of repentance from the repentants to You, Capable of what You want, Obtainer of what You request, Thankful when You are thanked, and Rememberer when You are remembered. I call You for I am in need, I come to You for I am poor, I seek refuge in You for I am afraid, I cry to You for I am distressed, I seek Your help for I am weak, and I rely upon You for You are sufficient. Rule between us and our people, for they have deceived us, betrayed us, and killed us. We are the progeny of Your Prophet and the children of Your beloved Muhammad, son of Abdullah, whom You have selected with the Message and entrusted with Your inspiration, so relieve us in our matter with Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful ones. 13
