All praise be to Allah. May peace and blessings be upon His Messenger and upon his family, Companions, and those who followed him.

The reason for this speech is the latest events in city of Toussaint, an affiliate of the state of Arizona, America. There is a person called Rashad Khalifah, an American­Egyptian citizen who denies the Sunnah, reviles the status of the Messenger (peace be upon him), and distorts the Words of Allah to conform with his deviated opinions.

The said person has no knowledge of the principles of the Islamic Shari`ah (Islamic Law), as his field of study in which he holds his Ph.D is agricultural engineering. Thereby, he is not eligible to the duty of calling to Allah in a right manner. Furthermore, he managed by means of illusive ways to misguide new Muslims to believe in his opinions which he propagates pretentiously and falsely in the name of Islam which he antagonizes by his denial of the Sunnah along with those who equally deny the Prophet's words and deeds.

During his visit to Libya in 1399 A.H., a professors of the the Libyan University asked him just before he boarded the airplane about his opinion concerning the Prophet's Hadiths, he said quickly due to the lack of time, "these Hadiths are Satanic." Among his sayings which expose his denial of Sunnah and allegorically interpreting the Qur'an on whimsical basis the following:

1. He says that stoning the male or female adulterers, married or not, is not permissible, for this was not revealed in the Qur'an.

2. His arrogant stand when citing the Hadith: Do not write down anything from me except the Qur'an that this proves the impermissibility of writing down the Hadiths.

3. He argues that there is no need for the Sunnah or the Prophet's explanation of the Qur'an by quoting Allah's saying: We have neglected nothing in the Book and His saying: and your Lord is never forgetful

4. He claims that adhering to the Sunnah, writing down, and collecting the Hadiths that took place in the second and third centuries A.H. was behind the downfall of the Islamic state.

5. He questions the truthfulness of the incident of Al­ Mi`raj (Ascension to Heaven) and that the Messenger (peace be upon him) was not the first to teach Muslims the manner by which they offer their Salah (Prayer), as Arabs have known this way of performing Salah since their ancestor Ibrahim [Abraham] (peace be upon him).

6. He has certain interpretations regarding the writing of the Separated Letters mentioned at the beginning of Surahs (chapters) as he claims that the way they are written is not true. According to his opinion, the Separated Letters: A. L. M. which are combined as one word in the `Uthmany calligraphy, should be separately written, i.e. "Alif Lam Mim". Likewise, Allah's saying: Nûn. [These letters (Nûn, etc.) are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân, and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings]. should be written as "Nun" etc. of the delusive and deviant opinions which disperse the unity of Muslims in addition to bearing clear opposition to Allah and His Messenger.

Therefore, I deemed it necessary to disclose his claims and expose his reality before Muslims lest any of them should fall victim to his deceptions and deviant opinions. So all may know the Remarkable Status of the purified Sunnah.
