ABDULAI KABIRU
(Known world-wide as Prophet Muhammad)
By Naiwu Osahon,
Francois Lenormant in (Histoire Ancienne des Phoenicians)
believes that Arabia is the land of Punt and of the Queen of
Sheba. Punt, in fact, was one of the sons of Ham placed in Arabia
by Biblical tradition. Lenormant says: “A Kushite (Kush is a Jewish
word meaning Black) Empire originally existed throughout Arabia.
This was the epoch personified by the Adites of Ad, grandsons of
Ham, the Biblical ancestor of the Blacks. Cheddade, a son of Ad
and builder of the legendary “Earthly Paradise” mentioned in the
Koran, belongs to the epoch called that of the First Adites.
Around 1550 BCE, the (Kushites) Black original owners and
settlers in the whole of Arabia, suffered their second invasion in
the hands of the barbaric Jectanide (White) tribe that first
temporarily overwhelmed them in 1760 BCE. About this same
time too, Black Babylonians were sacked by Assyrians (Hittites)
another group of primitive White tribes. Initial re-action of the
Kushites to their invasion was to take refuge in the mountains
such as Hadramaut. Some returned to their ancestral home,
Ethiopia, via the Red Sea at Bab el Mandeb. This gave rise to the
Arab proverb: “as divided as the Sabaeans.” Despite the various
invasions by White tribes in Arabia, Ethiopian links with her
Arabian colonies, particularly with Yemen, remained unbroken
until the birth of Muhammad and even so, the Ethiopian language
Ghez remains Yemen’s ancient language even now.
The Kushites were soon able to re-group, fight back and regain
control of their land, Arabia, but absorbing the low class White
tribe settlers in the process. This epoch is known as the second
Adites. This is how Arabs as a people came to be. They are a
mixed breed between Blacks and Whites. All educated Arabs
know that Africans were the first to settle in all of Arabia and that
all Arabs have mixed Black and White blood, including their
fabulous hero, Antar of Arabia and, of course, the prophet
Muhammad. Lokman, the mythical representative of Adite
wisdom in Arabia is considered to be none other than Aesop of
Ethiopian origin. He built the famous dam at Mareb that irrigated
and fertilized the plain over a distance of seven days walk from
the city. The ruins continue to attract tourists until this day.
Prophet Muhammad was not the originator of the Islamic religion.
The Kushite (Ethiopian) kabala, which is soaked in magic and the
knowledge of the stars, (like the Dogon religion in Mali), had set
the tone for the Islamic religion in Persia, 1000 years before the
birth of Muhammad.
In the Persian experience, Cheikh Anta Diop (The African Origin of
Civilization) says: “The only Triad revered was: Venus-Sun-Moon.
The cult had a pronounced sidereal character; especially solar;
they prayed to the sun at different phases of its course. There
was neither idolatry nor images nor priesthood. They addressed a
direct invocation to the seven planets. The 30 days fasting period
already existed, as in Egypt. They prayed seven times each day,
with their faces turned towards the north. These prayers which
take place during the same phases, but which were reduced by
Muhammad later in Islam, to five compulsory prayers to relieve
humanity, the other two prayers are optional.
There were also sacred springs and stones, as in Moslem times;
Zenzen, a sacred spring, Kaaba, a sacred stone. The pilgrimage
to Mecca already existed in imitation of the worshippers of Ausar
who went on yearly pilgrimage to God Ausar’s tomb and sacred
shrines, thousands of years before there was a ‘Wailing Wall’ in
Palestine, or pilgrimage to Mecca and Jerusalem. The Kaaba was
reputed to have been constructed by Ishmael, son of Abraham
and Hagar, the Egyptian (Black woman) historical ancestors of
Muhammad, according to Arab historians, as in Egypt. Belief in a
future life was already prevalent. Dead ancestors were deified.
Thus, all the elements necessary for the blossoming of Islam were
in place more than 1000 years before the birth of Muhammad.”
Abdulai Kabiru, known worldwide as Prophet Muhammad, was
born in 570 CE, ‘the year of the Elephant,’ in Mecca, Arabia (now
Saudi Arabia.) The year of the elephant is important as a marker
because, it was the year Abrahah, the king of Abyssinia, sent an
overwhelming force to Mecca to destroy the Ka’bah, which
Abrahah considered was a distraction to his newly constructed
temple in San’a, in Yemen. Ka’bah served as the unifying
pilgrimage point for all the Arabian tribal cults at the time.
Kabiru’s father, ‘AbdAll’ah died before he was born. His mother,
Aminah, sent him as a baby into the desert to toughen him. She
handed him to a poor woman called Halimah who suckled and
nurtured him. He was still in the desert and six years old when
his mother died.
He was taken to his grandfather, Abd al-Muttalib, when he was 7
years old but the old man also died two years later, so, he was
placed in the care of his uncle, AbuTalib, the father of Ali. Because
of his difficult background, he did not have the opportunity to go
to school. His uncle began to send him out to hawk fetish idols
and masks. He was not very successful in the business because
his unusual sales talks discouraged potential buyers. All his close
family members, including his uncle, AbuTalib, his brothers and
sisters, Aruna, Amina, Sarah, and Abdul-Azeez, were dead before
Muhammad was ten years old. At age 25, he received marriage
proposal from a wealthy Mecca woman, Khadijah bint al-
Khuwaylid, who was 15 years older than him. He accepted the
proposal and the marriage produced two sons who died young,
and four daughters, Zaynab, Ruqayyah, UmmKulthum and
Fatimah. To repay Abu Talib’s kindness, Muhammad took Ali into
his household, and later in life gave Ali his youngest daughter,
Fatimah, in marriage. Fatimah, of all his children had the greatest
impact on history, because Shi’ite imams and Sayyids or Sharifs
are said to have descended from the Fatimah and Ali lineage.
Muhammad was handsome. By the age of 35, he had become a
highly respected figure in Mecca for his wisdom and amiable
personality. He loved retiring into the desert by himself to pray
and meditate. In the month of Ramadan, in 610 CE, at age 40,
during a retreat in the cave called al-Hira, in the Mountain of Light
(Jabal al-Nur) near Mecca, Muhammad, it is claimed, experienced
the presence of Archangel Gabriel. Gabriel in form of a man
asked him to recite (iqra.) Muhammad could not, since he was
unlettered. Gabriel hugged him robustly and asked him two more
times to recite the iqra, hugging him more robustly each time.
Naturally, the strange goings-on scared Muhammad and he fled
the cave, thinking he had become possessed by a jinn or demon.
As he hurried down the mountain from the cave, a voice said:
“Thou art the messenger of God and I am Gabriel.” Muhammad
gazed up and saw the man who had spoken, and he doubled his
speed to get out of the scene. At home, he told his wife his
experience. She called in a blind cousin; a Christian called
Waraqah, who was known to be wise in spiritual ways. Waraqah
confirmed that Muhammad had been chosen as God’s prophet.
Not long after his cave experience, Muhammad received another
revelation accompanied by a bell-like reverberation. Islamic
tradition considers this the beginning process of the revelation of
the Qur’an. It lasted for 23 years until shortly before his death.
He first preached his message to Khadijah, Ali, Zayd ibn al-Harith,
who was like a son to him, then to two close friends, Abdul Ibn
Sefin and Ibn the son of Telfik. This small group became the core
from which Islam grew. Before long, four other people had joined
them, and then came a fifth, the Mazrui, an Ethiopian, who was a
wine seller and who introduced the idea of using his wine guards
as loud speakers to call the faithful to prayers, Alahaa Akuba. In
three years, they were strongly in the public domain. A large
segment of the elite in Mecca rejected his message, because of
its oneness of God base, opposition to idolatory and the fear that
it would destroy commerce accompanying pilgrimage to Mecca to
worship idols kept on the Ka’bah, which was the centre of Arabic
tribal religious cults. The rulers in particular, were not pleased
with Muhammad and exerted pressure on him and his followers to
disband. In 619 CE, two people close to him died, Khadijah, his
friend, counsellor and devoted wife for 25 years, and his uncle
Abi’Talib, who was his protector in the face of powerful hostilities
surrounding him. These deaths, with his lack of success in
propagating his message in Mecca severely tested his
determination and resolve. Although Muhammad by tradition
could have married more wives, he did not until Khadijah died.
In 621 CE, a delegation from Yathrib, a city north of Mecca,
invited him to relocate to their city and become their leader, and
promised him protection. At that time, Yathrib was suffering from
constant tribal skirmishes between their two principal tribes, the
‘Aws and the Khazraj, and a significant Jewish population. From
622 CE, Muhammad’s followers began leaving Mecca for Yathrib
in small groups so as not to arouse suspicion of the authorities,
and to begin to prepare the ground to receive Muhammad. One
evening, he asked Ali to sleep in his bed as decoy, and using an
indirect route, he left for Yathrib. His home was attacked that
night by the Quraysh, looking for Muhammad to kill, on the
excuse of the loud cries summoning the faithful in Mecca and his
threat to destroy the 360 Ka’bah idols. Ali was found in his bed.
On September 25, 622 CE, Muhammad completed the Hijrah
(migration) and reached Yathrib which became known as the City
of the prophet or Medina. This became the starting point of the
Islamic calendar.
Two Ethiopians helped set the Muhammadan faith in motion. One
was the first military man in Islam. He was Muhammad’s teacher
and was regarded as the ‘Lord’ and the ‘Perfect spirit.’ The other
was the Mazrui who called the people to prayers. The Prophet
Muhammad, before his death, said he tried to persuade the ‘Lord’
to be the first Caliph. If the ‘Lord,’ an Ethiopian, had become the
first Caliph, the entire religion would have been different, but
because the Arabs were quarrelling among themselves, he
declined the offer and returned to Ethiopia where he was killed in
the fight with the Byzantium.
In 632 CE, Muhammad made his first Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca,
which remains the model to this day for the millions of Muslims
who make the hajj each year. On his way back from Mecca, he
appointed Ali as the executor of his last will and as his wali, a
term that means friend or saint and also describes a person who
possesses authority. Sunni Muslims take this as family matter
while Shi’tes say it was investiture to succeed the Prophet. By
the time of the Prophet’s death in the spring of June 8, 632 CE, all
of Arabia had become Muslim. There was a bitter succession
battle after Muhammad’s death, between Omar, Abubakir and
Muhammad’s son-in-law Ali, (husband of Muhammad’s daughter,
Fatima.) The kingmakers passed over Ali to appoint Omar as the
new Caliph, but Omar was promptly assassinated. Same fate
befell Abubakir who was chosen to succeed Omar. Civil wars
broke out, leading to the rule of despots. The simple teaching of
Muhammad soon began to yield to earlier evil practices of human
sacrifice and diabolic witchcraft, principally to serve the interests
of the privileged class.
The central tenet of Islam is belief in one God, and confession of
this belief is the first of five “pillars of Islam.” The others are daily
prayers reduced from seven to five times by Muhammad to
temper the stress of praying so many times a day for followers;
giving of alms, pilgrimage to Mecca if possible, and keeping of the
fast in the month of the Ramadan. All of which obviously amount
to a rationalization of the ancient Sabaean (African) religion, by
the Messenger of Allah. African human personification of God in
the Trinity of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, 4,425 years before
Christianity, with Osiris sitting in judgment over the dead,
reinforced the human and masculine attributes of the Christian
God (Yahweh) who created man in His image and likeness. Diop
tells us that, “a visitor to Thebes in the Valley of the Kings in
Egypt can view the Moslem inferno in details (in the tomb of Seti
I, of the Nineteenth Dynasty) 1700 years before the Koran. Osiris
at the tribunal of the dead is indeed the “Lord” of revealed
religions sitting enthroned on Judgment Day. …Judaism, Islam,
and modern science, are rooted in Egyptian (African) cosmogony
and science.”
Entry into a physical body from the invisible world is birth. Death
is to return to the subtle world from the physical body. In
whatever state man finds himself, he is a spirit in evolution.
Mental awake-ness or the knowing process never stops. It does
not stop after death but becomes more subtle and free to
traverse the cosmos. Spirit takes on subtle and physical forms to
continue the learning process. It is possible to pass from waking
consciousness into the spirit, mental or astral states and return.
When awake our mind or sensory equipment provides the
thoughts and in sleep, soul or consciousness breaks into two with
the subtler part journeying through the spiritual, mental and
starry worlds while the other remains behind to nurse the mind
and physical body. The two parts of consciousness reunite when
we wake up. Some Clairvoyants can see the point of separation
and reunification.
Our ancestors taught that spiritual development or progress is
possible in degrees through disciplined intellect, adoption of
ethical principles and balance in ones life. That one needs to
allow disciplined subtle forces to dominate ones physical
essence. The secret knowledge the adepts taught was about the
mastery of these subtle forces progressively to achieve higher
consciousness. Initiates, through purity of thoughts and actions,
meditation, service to humanity and spiritual discipline became
perfect in the act. Tu-SoS then fully occupied their forms
individually for their astral journeys to the cosmic destination.
There are blood cuddling stories of dictators who took their bath
with human blood regularly to ensure their permanent hold on
power. Nigeria had, at least, two of such leaders of military
extraction, who were of the Islamic faith. Since such leaders still
lose power after a while or are killed in the process, the spiritual
gifts garnered through the blood sacrifices would tend to be
transient at best. In any case, there is always a price to pay for
evil gifts, ranging from early death of the seeker, to the loss of life
of a dear one or impotency etc.
Witchcraft was planted on the land of a chap I knew. The idea
being to scare him off his land or kill him. His staff, who did not
believe in such things, dug up the contraption and threw it into a
near-by bush. That evening, his right hand began to swell
painfully and before long he was feeling like he was going to have
a partial stroke on the left hand side of his body. The Imam
invited to his rescue copied some verses from the Koran, and
washed the writing into a cup for the patient to drink. Slowly,
over a couple of days of continuing to drink the concoction, the
swelling began to subside. But to permanently disconnect the
witchcraft, which included cowries mounted on a piece of wood, a
cock and a hen were sacrificed by the Imam who used the blood
along with other objects and heavy incantations from the Koran.
Obviously, some electromagnetic force had to be battled in the
fierce encounter to release the patient from the grip of the
witchcraft contraption.
I stumbled on an elaborate witchcraft ritual one early morning in
the compound of a Lebanese Muslim neighbour in Apapa, Lagos,
Nigeria. Alfas, Imams and family members of the Lebanese were
involved in the apparently solemn event that included the
skinning of a sheep alive. I retreated quickly because the faces of
the participants in the event did not suggest that visitors were
welcomed.
A few days later, the Lebanese neighbour had the opportunity to
explain to me that the skinned sheep was buried alive in the
compound and that it was a part of an Islamic ceremony to invite
good fortunes. He said other versions of the rituals could include
writing the messages (requests), on the body of the skinned
sheep in what is called Hantu (i.e. special ink), with Kalam (special
biro), before burying it alive.
Tabati Ada is a potent witchcraft ritual not fully spelt out in the
Koran for obvious reasons. It involves the summoning of the
relevant ‘Spirit’ at mid night with the blood of a black goat and
peering into the sun the following noon day with naked eyes to
demand specific favours. Of course, the entire ceremony is more
elaborate than this, laced with an almost endless monologue of
spoken Koran verses relevant to the purpose.
Every Muslim knows about Ya’si involving a number of brothers
moving into the home of the fortune seeker to pray 1600 times
each day and night, usually for seven days and nights at a time,
using appropriate Koran verses. Politicians rely on it for winning
elections. Women swear by it to capture spouses. Business
people use it to trap untrammelled wealth and many swear it
works especially when wrapped in raw witchcraft. Ya’si is in the
water or wrap, under the wings of the cock by the water, and the
smouldering fire in a shallow bowl-size well in the public room.
The cock crows every morning to wake up the fortune seeker until
the seventh day when it enters the fire of hell guaranteeing
success. The fortune seeker might be required to ride a female
donkey to a market place at past midnight to be intimate with the
donkey, pull out on the verge of release, and collect his sperm for
the final rituals.
Christian Witchcraft.
For example, the Holy Communion with wine and bread
representing the blood and flesh of Jesus respectively is criminal
witchcraft cannibalism, but the Church faithful prefer to deceive
themselves. All these are the surface programmes, much else go
on behind the curtains with incantations, incenses, candles etc.
Abraham sacrificed a ram to spare his son’s life but human
sacrifices are not sacrosanct to the Gods. Yahweh supports
human sacrifice. (Ex.22: 29 – 30).
Yahweh revels in blood sacrifices including human, and in
elaborate, archaic rituals. Yahweh killed (Num.16: 35, 21:6; Deut.
32:39; 1Sam. 2: 26; Psalm 135: 10. Yahweh ordered killing
(Lev.26: 7 –8: Num. 25; 4-5). The daylight human sacrifice of
Luciano (Catholics prefer to call it the ‘miracle’ of fresh human
flesh and blood), proves the true nature of the Communion host –
the Eucharist.
All modern Churches: the Protestants, the Apostolic Faith, the
Church Missionary Society, the Celestial Church of Christ, the
Roman Catholic Church, the Cherubim and Seraphim, the Qua-
Iboh sects and the Pentecostal variances, to name a few, are
involved in serious witchcraft called miracles. The priests heal
with magic words and herbal mixes passed on as holy water or
the blood of Jesus. Bread replaces human flesh, and wine blood,
obviously to get high and speak in tongues.
In most Christian sects, licentiousness has been developed to an
art. Women looking for pregnancies are taken by priests of some
of the sects to lonely beaches at night or in the early morning
hours and fingered mercilessly in the guise of allowing the holy
spirit to enter into them, before being raped singing Alleluia to
every bang, heightened with the mention of the name Jesus.
Another version is called ‘Abe Abo’ for protection, which literally
means to sleep under the priest for 3 to 7 days at a stretch. This
goes on all the time in Celestial churches for instance. A married
woman desperate for a child is given some liquid concoction to
rob on any penis (but her husband’s), before sex, to get
pregnant. The pastor would pretend he is not interested in the
act so as to be begged by the woman to oblige there and then. It
is decreed by Jesus, the one and only Son of God.
The Jews seem to have been taking out their pains on Africans
who are, in fact, their closest relatives and ought to have been
treated as their closest allies.
The Jews from the beginning have had their hands in all the
misfortunes of the African world. It started with the concealment
of the African identity of Moses and theirs. The lies about
meeting God of the universe on Mount Sanai and being the
chosen people. Their fictitious curse that launched their notion of
superior, inferior people; their usurpation of African beliefs and
myths without giving due credit; the distortions of early history
and African religion, and the fake history of their plight as a
people in Egypt. They were neck-deep in the Black slavery
holocaust from which they amassed huge fortunes to set
themselves apart as the shrewd and wealthy Jews we know
today.
Despite all we have been through in the hands of the Jews, I
admire them a great deal for the way they have overcome their
difficulties to become masters of the world in every respect. Their
religion and kabbalism helped them and Africans want to learn
from them, what was lost to them, and end their own pains that
have come from all quarters, and have gone on for too long.
