A crime at Al-Azhar! Sheikh Saleh committed an unethical act by changing the names of the surahs, such as Surah Bani Isra'il instead of Surah Al-Isra', due to naiveté and ignorance of the conspiracy. A conspiracy against the Quran between Abu Dhabi and the Al-Azhar Research Center!
The post was deleted after it shook the ground beneath the feet of the wise Muslims of the Ummah... Its danger lies in the fact that it was issued by the Quran Review Committee at the Islamic Research Center... The head of the committee is a victim of his own negligence, naiveté, and lack of discernment... which raises the same question I raised here a few days ago regarding the renewal of expired leadership terms and the selection of trustworthy individuals first.
I am not accusing Sheikh Abdul Karim Saleh, head of the Quran Review Committee, of colluding with the "Devil of the Arabs" in the Gulf, but I do lament his naiveté, which exposes him to criticism and calls for his dismissal from his sensitive position.
We know—and the Sheikh seems unaware—that global Zionism, the Abrahamic movement, has been attempting for decades to merge the Quran into a corrupt partnership with distorted scriptures you are familiar with. In the mid-1970s, the Americans, in collaboration with Mossad, pressured President Sadat to print the holy books in a single volume and construct a unified religious complex. Before Sadat could even consider it, the voice of Al-Azhar, through its revered Sheikh, the learned Dr. Abdul Halim Mahmoud, vehemently declared: "No tampering with the Quran!" The project was rejected. Later, Mossad took on the task of distorting the Quran, spending millions on disreputable printing houses to produce altered copies, either by rearranging pages, deleting passages, or substituting verses. This campaign, however, failed. Then came the era of the criminal Bush, who announced the launch of the "New Furqan" project (the revised Quran!), removing verses about jihad, fighting, and anything related to Al-Aqsa Mosque, the killing of innocent people, and the Children of Israel.
The project was indeed printed and failed. Returning to the beginning, although these events are well-known and Sheikh Abdul Karim Saleh is aware of what happened, it seems the dervish is in a state of ignorance and naiveté that cannot be ignored. You know the names of the chapters (surahs) of the Quran as they were named by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) through divine inspiration and guidance from God. Some of these names were also mentioned by some of the Companions. The Companions did not name the chapters themselves in the sense of inventing them; rather, they received and used the names. Evidence that the names of the chapters were known during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is that the names of some chapters are explicitly mentioned in authentic hadiths, such as his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
“Recite the two radiant ones: Al-Baqarah and Al Imran.”
And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) about Surah Al-Fatihah: “It is the seven oft-repeated verses and the Grand Quran which I have been given.”
And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): “Whoever recites Surah Al-Kahf…” and there are many similar examples.
The majority of scholars have settled on names for the chapters that are printed in the Quran. While it is permissible for some to describe a chapter by the issues it addresses and discusses, this remains a personal usage and not an agreed-upon name to be printed in the Quran. This is similar to the Uthmani script, which is a divinely ordained and agreed-upon system that cannot be altered. And here the righteous sheikh committed an unrighteous act for which he must be held accountable, for it is extremely serious!
The wicked Emirates, may God increase their wickedness, in collaboration with Mossad, are printing a new Quran. To provoke Muslims and in line with their demographic engineering projects in Jerusalem and Palestine, they have changed the name of Surah Al-Isra, which is widely known, to a name used by some scholars to describe them as "Bani Israel" (Children of Israel). Thus, the Quran was printed without any mention of the Isra (Night Journey), but rather with "Bani Israel."
Is this a plan to Judaize the Quran? To legitimize their crime, they sought the opinion of the Al-Azhar Research Academy in Egypt. Sheikh Abdul Karim Saleh, head of the Quran review committee, endorsed the name "Bani Israel" (Children of Israel), arguing that there was no religious objection and that the surahs had many names. The Sheikh failed to realize that what was happening was a Zionist-Emirati conspiracy to deny the Isra' (Night Journey) and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and to glorify and empower the Children of Israel in the Quran. An official statement was issued in a Facebook post attributed to Sheikh Saleh. Everyone swallowed the bait and remained silent in Al-Azhar, the Ministry of Religious Endowments, and the Supreme Council until voices rose up to refute Sheikh Abdul Karim, condemning his opinion and warning of the dangers of the project. He dismissed their opinions, which were supported by some scholars, such as Dr. Abdul Fattah Al-Awari, Dean of the Faculty of Theology. A heated debate ensued between Saleh and the readers for two days. This afternoon, the Sheikh of the Academy announced the deletion of his post. In my opinion, the matter is not over...
And it will not be over until the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, issues a decisive ruling regarding this naive leadership...
Dismissal and transfer, far from the Quran...
My confidence in the Grand Imam's firmness is great.
