We have just experience the Spring Equinox on the 21 March 2005. The sun path is travelling north and at should at a certain point pass directly over Kaaba. This is the time when every muslim far from Saudi soil and within the light of the sun can easily finds the direction of Kaaba. The shadow should points the direction (Qibla) for muslims. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.111.98.82 (talk • contribs)

Even the NON-Muslim ACADEMICS say that Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP are waging a blatant and hegemonic smear campaign against the mainstream Muslims and they have proven it over and over again...

Internet in a Sectarian Islamic Context

by THOMAS PIERRET (The International Institute for the Study of Islam in the Modern World (ISIM)

The Lebanon-based al-Ahbash movement advocates a radical neo-traditionalist version of Sunni Islam. Although numerically modest, it has established branches in several Western countries, where it continues the campaign it started in the Middle East against the Salafi trend. The movement uses the Internet innovatively and demonstrates that the strategic use of web-based interactive communication tools does not necessarily lead to the reinforcement of a culture of dialogue; on the contrary they can also serve as a means to achieve virtual ideological hegemony.

The Association of Islamic Charitable Projects (AICP) was founded in Beirut in 1982 by a group of Sunni ulama who, together with their followers, were nicknamed “al-Ahbash” (The Ethiopians) after their Ethiopian-born spiritual leader, the scholar and Sufi Shaykh Abdallah al-Harari al-Habashi. Since its inception, the AICP has been backed by the Syrian regime, which considers its strong commitment to traditional non-political Sunni principles and its insistently anti-Salafi stance as a means to counter the rise of political Islam in Lebanon. However, this radical neotraditionalist ideology and the paranoid worldview it implies are not exclusively linked to the particular context of Lebanon but constitute a vehicle for an organization that has become transnational by establishing branches in France, Germany, the United States, Australia, and even the Ukraine.

As a global but numerically marginal network made up of small groups, often facing hostility of other Sunni communities, the Ahbash have been quick to take advantage of the Internet. The English speaking—i.e. global-oriented—official website of the AICP (www.aicp.org) is dedicated to conventional uses but is rather innovative from a technological point of view. Since the web makes religious material available worldwide at very low cost, the AICP’s website provides a wide range of exoteric and esoteric contents through written as well as audio resources, among which is a radio station broadcasting from the Beirut headquarters of the movement and daily interactive religious lessons. A look at the website’s Guest Book shows that visitors using this material to improve their Islamic knowledge are not necessarily members of the AICP and sometimes live in regions where the association is not formally present (South Asia, Turkey, Nigeria, and Mindanao). Therefore, one may conclude that the website leads to an extension of the AICP’s ideological sphere of influence. However, we need to be somewhat more cautious than Olivier Roy who asserts that, thanks to the Internet, “one directly joins the Sufi neo-brotherhood [among which is al-Ahbash]” and “one can learn the thought of the Shaykh through its discourse and no longer [have to be] in [direct] contact with him.” [1] As far as Sufism informs the content of thissie, we would suggest that this kind of electronic material is basically more of a showcase for the brotherhood or an aid for the ritual-mystical practices of geographically isolated members. Indeed, visiting a website does not replace the master-disciple relationship, which remains an essential part of Sufism, including that of the Ahbash. Strikingly, Shaykh Abdallah is only surreptitiously referred to on the AICP’s websites since, to use Michael Gilsenan’s words,2 the management of the physical absence of the founding saint—who is more than 80 years old and can only travel abroad occasionally to meet his disciples—is still carried out orally by his deputies.

The second function of the Internet for the Ahbash is to improve the global cohesion of the movement by weaving links between grass roots members of the different branches worldwide, all the more so since these branches are established in highly “connected” countries. Of course, such links are not really useful with regard to close and sizeable communities as in Lebanon or France, but they are of invaluable help for isolated individuals living in Australia or North America. It is certainly not a coincidence that the Ahbash’s website was the first in the Islamic cyberspace to provide 24-hour voice chat groups in different languages.

Ideological spider webs

At first sight, devices such as live interactive lessons or voice chat groups seem to encourage debates within the movement, but, on the contrary, close examination reveals that these instruments are primarily used by the leadership to increase its ideological control on their followers and to attract new devotees. Similarly, if one checks the AICP’s unofficial e-forums (www.talkaboutislam.com), one discovers that they function as ideological spider webs. Nothing points to the fact that these websites, which only present themselves as being “Islamic,” are actually part of the Ahbash’s cyber network. For instance, they are not related to the official websites by any hypertext link. Therefore, the random visitor is normally unaware that he or she is exposed to a set of selected opinions through carefully controlled debates. Firstly, zealous participants frequently post chapters of books edited in Lebanon by the AICP, but without any reference to the author or the editor. Secondly, veteran members answer questions concerning fiqh (jurisprudence) and reprimand novices whose religious knowledge is considered “deviant.” Thirdly, a team of regulators supervise the discussions and are in charge of censoring the Ahbash who are too keen to use takfir (excommunication) —since such a stance is considered a mark of extremism by most of the Sunnis—but above all of eliminating most of the messages posted by participants of Salafi persuasion. Ideological hegemony is thus achieved by the creation of a neo-traditionalist virtual space in which they assess very critically the ideas of leading Islamic personalities such as Amr Khalid, Khalid al-Jundi and Yusuf al-Qaradawi. In the same way they reduce the Wahhabi doctrine to a mere “heresy” in line with the Ottoman scholarly tradition of which they consider themselves to be the inheritors.

IF Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP are in fact mainstream Sunnis and they don't have any MAJOR conflict with mainsteam Sunnis then why on the earth they need to invest, market and disseminate their favorite scholar's teaching in the name of Islam by using "Islamic" sounded web-sites like:

  • Why can't they simply corroborate with already established mainstream Sunni web-sites like IslamOnline.net .etc?
  • Why do they need to build their own centers in the West and around the globe?
  • Why do they need to innovate, market and disseminate their favorite scholar's "teachings" in the name of Islam using such hedious methods and tactics? After all, don't Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP claim to be Sunni Muslims? IF THEY TRULY ARE THEN WHY DON'T MAINSTREAM SUNNI MUSLIMS ACCEPT THEM AS THEIR OWN?
  • Why would mainstream Sunni Muslim Scholars issue several Islamic Decrees (FATWAs) to warn people against them?
  • Why don't Habashies / Al-Ahbash / AICP pray in the same direction as the mainstream Sunnis in North America? Is it about truly scientific reasons or to promote SEDITION?

and so on and so forth......

(Hint: You may always use major search engines like Google and Yahoo for research.

Wahhabism is a deviant sect

See this is your problem , evry person who dont go with your point of view is wrong .

The qiblah site is not related to AICP , I'm the webmaster of the qiblah site and not them .

and stop changing topic from qiblah to habashis , if you want to speak about habashis go to the other discussion , here its about qiblah different point of view .

if you dont accept it , keep this for your self , and stop making false claim .

WikiPedia is NOT for promotion... You are still attempting to RECRUIT for Habashies / Al-Ahbash / AICP by trying to bring peopl to Qiblah.us

IF Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP are in fact mainstream Sunnis and they don't have any MAJOR conflict with mainsteam Sunnis then why on the earth they need to invest, market and disseminate their favorite scholar's teaching in the name of Islam by using "Islamic" sounded web-sites like:

Wahhabies are responsible of the 9/11 ,In There belief it's allowed to kill any person that dont follow them .

They attack all kind of people , all people who don't follow them are there enemies .

Background On The Tribulations Of The Wahhabis

McKhan is one of them , he don't accept any point of view that don't follow his belief , if it does he will start attacking and the only thing he will do is throw fake claim .


Since he started this topic , i asked him 2 questions and till now he is running away from them .

He claimed that i stole the data to make the Qiblah in North america website , i asked him for proofs .... none !!

Then He claimed that the site contain hiden links .... its' clear this person dont even visited the link ... any one can visit it and see try 2 see the code source and see if it contain hidden links ...

Then after running away he said it might trouble the user ... why trouble the user ??? because it dont contain his point of view so all what he can do is attack and copy past stuff from wahhabism related site .

I dont even need to attack wahhabism any person know how deviated they are . --Muslim sunni 12:28, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP are waging a blatant and hegemonic smear campaign against the mainstream Muslims and they have proven it over and over again by using the same hedious and dirty tricks.

65.92.130.151 / Muslim Sunni / Cronodevir / Crono as well as his buddies 62.131.149.252 and 82.194.62.22 belong to a CULT called Al-Ahbash / Habashies / Association of Islamic Charitable Projects (AICP) which hides its agenda and beliefs to blend-in among mainstream Sunnis to seek legitimacy and recruitment.

65.92.130.151 / Muslim Sunni / Cronodevir / Crono is the webmaster of Sunna.info and Qiblah.us (Both of the web-sites are part of a blatant and hegemonic smear campaign against the mainstream Sunni Muslims to seek legitimacy and recruitment) and other web-sites - and - promotes his CULT by incorporating hidden links to Islam-related web-sites. In other words, he is NOT only violating the WikiPedia guidelines by promoting AICP / Al-Ahbash / Habashies but also corrupting the integrity of the WikiPedia Islam-related pages / content by incorporating AICP / Al-Ahbash / Habashies' beliefs.

65.92.130.151 / Muslim Sunni / Cronodevir / Crono NOT a mainstream Sunni and YET, he is using the id "Muslim Sunni" to decieve people.

Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP are waging a blatant and hegemonic smear campaign against the mainstream Muslims and they have proven it over and over again by using the same hedious and dirty tricks.

According to an INDEPENDENT / NEUTRAL research paper published on the AICP / Al-Ahbash / Habashies by The International Institute for the Study of Islam in the Modern World (ISIM), The Lebanon-based al-Ahbash movement advocates a radical neo-traditionalist version of Sunni Islam. Although numerically modest, it has established branches in several Western countries, where it continues the campaign it started in the Middle East against the Salafi trend. The movement uses the Internet innovatively and demonstrates that the strategic use of web-based interactive communication tools does not necessarily lead to the reinforcement of a culture of dialogue; on the contrary they can also serve as a means to achieve virtual ideological hegemony.

AICP / Al-Ahbash / Habashies's agents lurk around WikiPedia Islam/Muslim-related pages like Islam, Qibla, Sunni Islam, Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab .etc to incorporate / place / promote hidden links to Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP's sponsored Islamic/Sunnis/Muslim sounding web-sites like:

Above-mentioned research paper further points-out, "Nothing points to the fact that these websites, which only present themselves as being “Islamic,” are actually part of the Ahbash’s cyber network. For instance, they are not related to the official websites by any hypertext link. Therefore, the random visitor is normally unaware that he or she is exposed to a set of selected opinions through carefully controlled debates. Firstly, zealous participants frequently post chapters of books edited in Lebanon by the AICP, but without any reference to the author or the editor. Secondly, veteran members answer questions concerning fiqh (jurisprudence) and reprimand novices whose religious knowledge is considered “deviant.” Thirdly, a team of regulators supervise the discussions and are in charge of censoring the Ahbash who are too keen to use takfir (excommunication) —since such a stance is considered a mark of extremism by most of the Sunnis—but above all of eliminating most of the messages posted by participants of Salafi persuasion."

Anybody who opposes them is either "Wahabi," "Kaafir" or "non-Muslim" altogether.

I've protected this article due to the ongoing edit war. All parties should be aware of the Three revert rule and should discuss their differences in a civil manner. Gamaliel 19:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


God spoke to the prophet(p.b.u.H.)when it was time for the afternoon prayer. Further on, when it was revealed, the praying muslims did not turn around. But they slighty changed their direction. It is not correct to say that the prophet(pbuh) had a dispute with the jews. Our prophet(pbuh) was a dialogue person. It would be better to say that he was sad and worried about the direction towards which they were praying. Worried, because if you think rationally, supose that the jews would use the fact that they were praying in the same direction, as an argument to defend themselves or to start a dispute? It was a logical rational and social precaution. Just as every thing in the Beautiful religion of Love, peace and understanding called Islam.
