DEATH IS JUST A VEIL [The Azzah (A traditional Badawi ceremony for the bereaved) will take place Friday, August 27th, at 10 pm EST.] Hassan ibn Khalid Ar-Rassidi was a pious man, always in search of enlightenment. He devoted his life to his studies, determined to understand the greater purpose of this life. He travelled the world, studying the different religions and religious practices of Almaris. He would always be remembered fondly for his unwavering devotion to the pursuit of true enlightenment. In his final years, he became horribly lost in the wilderness along his travels. Amidst the occasional insanity, he began to have prophetic dreams and visions. As he faithfully pursued these visions, Hassan began to understand the purpose behind these revelations. An excerpt from his diary read: “I wondered why my fate was like this? I understand now. I have been so engrossed in academics that I have forgotten my duties to others, my duty to the Oasis and my family. Getting lost was merely a reflection of my heart. I was already lost before I got lost. I spoke of the teachings of Imaan Al Rashidun yet it only came out of my mouth. I had reverted to ignorance once I thought I found the truth. I had forgotten to come back to my duty as a husband and a father and a tribesman of the Oasis. By Allah, I had prioritized my duty as a scholar more than a father, a husband and a friend” This realization in his faith led him back towards the Kharasi deserts. He stumbled blindly towards any sign of the Fakhr Oasis, determined to return home to his family, for the glory of Allah. --14th of The Grand Harvest, SA 38-- As the Oasis was in full bloom, a contrasting sight stumbled along the pathway. Finding themselves at the footsteps of the Masjid Al-Bidayyah, the decrepit man sat near the age-old fountain. Hassan ibn Khalid rested at the entrance of the Masjid, his robes tattered and worn from years fighting in the wilderness. He was welcomed by his startled wife and daughter. He had returned after eight long years of hardship, depravity, trials, and enlightenment. With the help of his wife, Hassan made his way into the Masjid, resting on the cushions. The next moments were filled with reconciliation, compassion, and unity for his family. The precious moments he spent with his now eight year old daughter would not be forgotten. After eating a meal prepared by his wife, Hassan rested in the lap of the woman he loved, lying next to his daughter. Muttering a blessing over the two, Hassan breathed his last breath. As quickly as he had returned, he had left once more. By the grace of Allah, he died peacefully in the Masjid, in the comforting presence of his wife and daughter. Hassan passed onto paradise, awaiting the fateful arrival of his wife and daughter. Wrapped up in his wife’s robe, Hassan’s body was moved to his tent, resting under a blanket. A small smile remained on his face, having achieved his life’s purpose. Per his wishes, his collection of books were donated to the library at the Masjid Al-Bidayyah. Hassan ibn Khalid Ar-Rassidi was buried near the Masjid, wishing “to be near those who pray” after his passing. An Azzah was organized for the bereaved. OOC: The Azzah (A traditional Badawi ceremony for the bereaved) will take place Friday, August 27th, at 10 pm EST. OOC: Hey guys, it's been really fun playing this character but due to RL, I can't commit to Hassan's story anymore so I thought it's time to let him rest. Thank you for everyone who rp with Hassan. It was a fun journey. “Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens” -Gimli

The Brief Understanding of the Amiri School Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful In this thesis, I, Hassan Ar Rassidi, will briefly discuss the history, methodology of the school and its founder Amir Rassidi. History Amir Rassidi was born during the founding of the Caliphate. This was a time where Rashidunism spread amongst the believers. Amir's father, Ali Rassidi was amongst the Rassidi people who converted to Rashidunism under Caliph Faiz Kharadeen. His father was known to have advised Caliph Faiz on matters pertaining to the Rassidi people who swore their fealty to the Caliph. Amir Rassidi being born into a wealthy noble family allowed him to live an easy life. At the age of 14, Amir Rassidi persued the science of fiqh and learnt from many great scholars. At the age of 30, he was known as one of the most respected scholar in the Rassidi community. His method was so influential that his students compiled his teachings and established the Amiri school. While Imam Amir Rassidi is known to be the founder of the school, it is likely that the development of Amiri methodology could go back to earlier scholars. Unlike the earlier scholars, Imam Amir formalized the methodology of the school that would influence the history of Imaan Al-Rashidun together. The school has been adopted by various non-Qalasheen and Qalasheen Rashiduns due to its flexibility. Amiri Methodology Amiri methodology recognises the Kitab Al Salam, Hadith, consensus (ijma), legal analogy (qiyas), juristic preference (istihsan) and normative customs (urf) as sources of the Sharia. Kitab Al-Salam Kitab Al-Salam is the scripture to which all Rashidun obeys from and the primary source of divine law. It is the word of Allah and was sent down through the Prophet Availer. Hadith Hadith are the sayings and teachings that were attributed to Availer. Ijma(Consensus) Ijma is the consensus of the believers. Even within the Amiri school, there are varying views on what Ijma consist of from one ranging from the views of only earlier scholars to the whole community of Rashidun, both laymen and scholars, Qiyas Qiyas(legal analogy) is a form of deductive analogy which uses a known ruling from another situation and tries to apply it in a new context to derive a similar ruling. Juristic Preference Unlike the traditionalist Qalasheen based methodologies, the Amiri methodology relies on the reasoning of the jurist, especially juristic preference which allows jurists to adopt flexible positions if it benefits the community of believers. Normative Customs(Urf) Urf is the collective practice of a group of people enacting the sacred law, however, if it absolutely contradicts the sacred texts, then it should not be adopted but if it is in opposition to Qiyas(legal analogy), then it is up to juristic preference. Application Chapter Seventeen: Marriage talks about how a believer should approach marriage. If we were to take the text literally, we would think that it is a need to do such a thing but rather, in the context of this chapter, it refers to the customs of the Qalasheens of old. Chapter Seventeen: Marriage “We also tell you how to find out between the two if you both wish to marry. You must go to her home officially with friends and family of hers not yours, and eat dinner with them, everyone will have tea but you(the man), she will then bring the tea out for you so only know you know, if she agrees to be interested in you. If the tea is bitter with salt then she does not wish to, but if it is sweet with sugar then the man may go to her oldest relative or closest friend and ask permission.” The question is whether, is tea, sugar or salt a requirement to do such an act? In a society that lacks such commodities, then how would they perform such an act? In a hadith narrated by Umar Hisham “I heard the Prophet Availer say ‘Your wealth does not define your soul’” From this hadith, the Prophet is talking about the Imaan(Faith) of the believer in relation to their status. What if the believer lacks the means to such commodities? Are they not allowed to get married? So in this case, is the Salamic verse an order or a recommendation. If it was an order, then it would be unfair to the less fortunate believer. If we truly read the meaning of the verse, Allah is telling the believer to embrace her family and friends and wait for her approval. The tea is a metaphor for the believer’s heart. The sugar is a metaphor for love while the salt is a metaphor for rejection. However, this does not mean we should not follow such recommendations. Imam Amir himself viewed the recommendation as a highly recommended practice in the faith which would yield Allah’s favor upon the believer. If so, is it permissible to use anything other than tea, sugar or salt? The majority view of the Amiri school views it as totally permissible with a small minority believing it is still more recommended to use tea,sugar or salt. Majority of the jurist prefer the less literal opinion as the message of the verse is still being carried out and does not burden the people. If in the community, the believer has to prove his worth to the one he wishes to marry through other means, then he must do such a thing as it is the custom of the people as long as it does not contradict the Sharia. Conclusion While the Amiri school may seem flexible, it does not mean the views of the school are overwhelmingly relaxed in comparison to other schools, rather its approach varies compared to the traditionalist schools. After all my years as an Alim(scholar), I would recommend future Alims to master one school but study the other methodologies to better understand the world of Iman Al Rashidun. I ask Allah for forgiveness if I am in the wrong and ask for His favour if He is pleased. Amin.

Upon reading the letter, the Alim would mutter, "We honour our agreements and we honour Vasiyevans but we will never honour the followers of Al Ansari the Liar."

Imam Faris Al Kadarsi A hadith of our Prophet narrated by Faris Al Kadarsi, “There will be 3 groups of people who will fully devote their lives to my cause. The first are the mujahideen(warriors of faith). They are the arms that wield the sword and shield of the Ummah. The second are the ulema(scholars of faith). They are the brains who guide the Ummah with their quills. The third are the seekers(ascetics). They are the hearts that pump faith into the Ummah. ” The 3 paths are not exclusive to each other. A seeker could be a mujahideen. A mujahideen could be an ulema. An ulema could be a seeker. The ascetics would use this hadith to establish the different spiritual traditions in Imaan Al Rashidun. Each path striving to remember Allah through their own ways. - Imam Faris Al Kadarsi One of the established ways was the Tariqah(Path) of Imam Faris Al Kadarsi. Imam Faris Al Kadarsi was a knowledgeable Faqih(an expert in the sacred law) and Sufi(mystic) and had served as a soldier under the Kadarsi Caliphate for a period. He was known to have inspired their imaan(faith). His voice was low. They said that every time he recited his zikr, that everyone would gather around him and listen to him. Imam Yusuf Al Farisi, a student of Imam Faris Al Kadarsi, was once a thief. He had tried to steal from the house of Imam Faris one night. On that night, Imam Faris was reciting chapter 11 from Kitab Al Salam: Repent. Imam Yusuf had heard him reciting this verse “ Allah says ‘Do not fear and does not despair for the mercy of Allah is awaiting you there(seven skies)’ “. Imam Yusuf wept in the darkness of the room and Imam Faris heard him and asked him to sit with him. He offered Imam Yusuf a cup of Qahwa and a date and would continue reciting the Kitab Al-Salam. On that night, Imam Yusuf repented and became a pupil of Imam Faris Al Kadarsi. These two figures are very prominent in the sciences of Rashidun Mysticism. Imam Faris Al Kadarsi's teachings were formalized by his pupil and the one who led the formalization was Imam Yusuf Farisi, also known as Yusuf Ar-Rassidi. The Farissiyah Order The Farissiyah Order was established during the middle period of the Kadarsi Caliphate. The order focuses on the core spiritual teachings of Imam Faris Al Kadarsi to achieve enlightenment. The Logo The sword, quill and heart each represent the foundations of the order. The 5 stars represent the 5 pillars of Imaan Al Rashidun with the name Faris representing their founder’s teachings. Structure There is no central head of the Farissiyah order. Once a Shaykh(Master) approves of the mastery of his student over the enlightened path, the new Shaykh may head an offshoot of the original order and are free to adopt their own spiritual practices. Each offshoot may have differing spiritual practices and may subscribe to different Madhab(Rashidun Legal Jurisprudence) and Orthodox Aqeedah (Theology) but share the spiritual teachings of Imam Faris Al Kadarsi. Power structures within each order maybe different with their own tradition. The relationship between the Shaykh and the seeker is highly intimate with the Shaykh acting as almost like a father or mentor figure to his students. This is due to the countless hours the Shaykh and students spend together while studying the deen. Spiritual Lineage The spiritual lineage act as a continuation of the teachings of the Prophet Availer with the Imams, ensuring a chain back to the Master Availer. Availer Early Imams(Pre-Faiz Kharadeen) Faiz Kharadeen Umar Hisham Abu Zahra Amir Rassidi Abu Hakim Muazzin Jaafar Hisham Auda Kharadeen Abdullah Kharadeen Mustafa Batini Hakim Al Askari Rassidi Ibn Qali Faris Al Kadarsi Yusuf Ar Rassidi Enlightenment The concept of enlightenment in the Farissiyah Order refers to the light of Allah being cemented into the hearts of the believers. Light refers to knowledge and thus enlightenment also means to have Taqwa(God-consciousness). Adherence to the Sharia(Sacred Law) “A seeker without his foundations is no seeker” - Abu Hakim Imam Faris was a prominent Faqih and was known to criticize seekers who disregard the Sharia for ‘spirituality’. He was known to be welcoming to all and yet firm on the religion. A seeker once asked “Why do we have to follow the Sharia when all we need is spirituality.” To which he answered “ The Prophet was sent down to establish the decrees of Allah. Who are we to deny our Rabb?” The seeker was said to have repented and became a pupil of Imam Faris. Physical Training Imam Faris was a soldier and was a big believer in keeping fit. He taught his students martial arts in an attempt to promote fitness and self-defense. He believed in order to annihilate the ego, the body has to be strong physically and disciplined. He was known to spar with his pupil and end it with prostration on the ground to give thanks to Allah. Rashidunic Studies Imam Faris was an expert at Fiqh(Sharia law) and many seek his guidance on the deen. He studied medicine and also was an expert in the martial arts. He believed that in order for one to attain enlightenment, one must be knowledgeable in one aspect of both religious and academic studies. He viewed that every subject has something to benefit the Ummah, even the arts when in the right hands. Sciences: Tafsir(Exegesis of Kitab Al-Salam) Fiqh(Religious Law) Hadith(Traditions of our Master Availer) Medicine Economics Philosophy/Theology Arts Gardening Astronomy History [Many More] Spiritual Practices Contemplation of Al-Salam’s inner and outer meaning Zikr(Remembrance of Allah through the repetition of Allah and his attributes) Meditation(Sitting in silence and only remembering Allah) The 4 martial movements while in remembrance of Allah -Horen(The Human Movement) -Malin(The Elven Movement) -Dwed(The Dwarven Movement) -Krug(The Orc Movement) Imam Faris choreographed a set of martial movements inspired by the four races to be used while doing zikr in the heart. The movements have been further expanded upon the pupils later on. Devotional Gathering A group of seekers chanting Allah and His attributes in order to remember Him or recital of the Kitab Al Salam Devotional Arts Members may devote their time to things ranging from poetry, music to art with a religious theme. Veneration of Aengul and Daemons The veneration of Aenguls and Daemons are common with many seekers picking a Patron Aengul or Daemon with specific attributes or blessings that they wish to attain. In chapter 2,the Prophet Availer speaks of the permissibility of praising/worshipping the aenguls and daemons. The verse ‘There are many of those that praise/worship an Aengul or Daemon, which is fine within the faith, as long as the Creator is worshipped above them and is mentioned beforehand within a prayer that would be dedicated to an Aengul or Daemon.’ However, while one may pick a patron Aengul or Daemon, the importance of Availer is still higher than their Patrons and should be devoted to more. List of Aenguls and Daemons currently known and recognized: Arch-Aengul: Aeriel: Caretaker of Souls Aenguls: Xan: Aengul of Order Tahariae: Aengul of Purity Gazardiael: Aengul of New Beginnings Jophiael: Aengul of Enlightenment Perpetiael: Aengul of Prosperity Malchediael: Aengul of Courage Gavrael: Aengul of Peace Yeu Rthulu: Aengul of Kindness Wyrvun: Aengul of Cold Cernunnos: Aengul of Summer/Winter Cerridwen: Aengul of Spring Nemiisae: Aengul of Autumn The Wandering Wizard, Availer: Aengul of Faith and Submission[Also a prophet of Al’iiman Rashidun] Daemons: Dragur: Daemon of Knowledge Tayl: Daemon of Companionship Metzili: Daemon of Time Ezyrin: Daemon of Balance Reverence of the Awliya The term Awliya means friends of Allah is repeated three times in the Kitab Al-Salam. Unlike the Aengul or Daemons who have powers bestowed by their nature, the Awliya were very pious mortals who strived in the way of Allah and may be granted miracles by the will of Allah. Traditionally, it has been understood that the Awliya are guides on Earth spiritually. Due to the nature of their immense wisdom, many seek their knowledge and revere them as models of faith. In Kitab Al Awliya written by Mustafa Al Batini, he expands upon the concept of reveremce ,veneration and true worship in light of Imaan Al Rashidun. Brief History The Spread of the Order During the Kadarsi Caliphate, the order’s seekers rose up in numbers with many soldiers joining the Tariqah(Path) due to the unique martial tradition existing in the Farissiyah order compared to the other Spiritual Paths. The influence of the order over the working class, particularly the soldiers in Rashidun military, was significant. Many known Mujahideens were part of the order such as Ibn Qali, Rashid As Sufi and Abu Sayf. The order is not centralized but rather the Shaykh of their own orders built upon the ideas of Imam Faris Al Kadarsi with their own. Each Farisiyyah order may differ from each other but the core teachings of Imam Faris are emphasized. The Decline of the Order Due to the martial nature of the Order, many of its seekers preferred to die as martyrs and are known to participate in Jihads. While honourable, the teachings of the order tended to die off with the seekers in wars if the wars were major. The Aegian war of the Undead had called many Farisis to seek martyrdom and defend Al-Faiz in the name of Allah. Many were slaughtered and killed and thus many branches of the once widespread Farisiyyah Tariqah either went extinct with only some of the teachings preserved in books or are only practiced by a small number of Rashidunist. The Revival of the Order Hassan ibn Khalid Ar Rassidi, descendant of Imam Faris Al Kadarsi through his daughter Umairah bint Faris and his son-in-law Imam Yusuf Ar Rassidi, one of the last few who still hold knowledge of the Farissiyah Tariqah is seen reviving the Order’s presence in the Fakhr tribe. May Allah spread the Farisiyyah-Hassaniyyah among the mumineen. [OOC]Message me on discord if you're interested or join the Fakhr tribe discord Johnny Not English#3621

Upon reading the response, the Alim would say "May Allah protect the Vasiyevans. They are indeed a righteous people."

Hassan would approve the letter muttering a few words to himself "May Allah burn such heresy from the face of the Earth and curse Al Ansari the liar to the pits of the nether "

In the name of Allah, the most just, the most powerful I ask all to fear Allah’s punishments. There has been a recent spread of this old heresy called Mutawahirism. The founder, Al Ansari the Liar, claimed to have met the divine light right after the departure of our Master Availer. They claimed that when Availer left, the divine being came to Al Ansari and revealed the divine truths but there is a problem with such accounts. Why did the divine being come only after our Master Availer’s departure? The respected mystic Habib Murrah Bin Dhir al-Khalil spoke about how Availer’s mere presence shook the idols, that his light that has been bestowed upon him by Allah was so bright, all darkness would disappear. He was a walking sun and his presence was ever merciful and so the departure of our beloved Prophet was a dark day. On that dark day, there were many challenges faced by the Qalisheens, a liar by the name of Al Ansari claimed Prophethood and denounced our blessed Prophet. Why did this liar dare to only claim Prophethood after our Master’s departure? It was due to the light of our Master Availer disappearing. The servants of Iblis grew bold and tried to misguide the Ummah by forming a schism and one of the Qalis that gave in to Iblis’s whisper was Al Ansari the Liar. A hadith of our Prophet narrated by Habib Murrah Bin Dhir al-Khalil, “ There will come a time where there will be those who will bring fitnah(disputes) among the community and I fear that day. They will claim Prophethood and claim to be representing the divine but do not be fooled by them. For surely, they are Prophets of Iblis.” The practices these heretics do may seem similar to our teachings but do not be fooled, they have copied from us and claimed to be on the Haqq(Truth). The ascetic tradition has always been a part of Imaan Al-Rashidun. A hadith of our Prophet narrated by Faris Al Kadarsi, “There will be 3 groups of people who will fully devote their lives to my cause. The first are the mujahideen(warriors of faith). They are the arms that wield the sword and shield of the Ummah. The second are the ulema(scholars of faith). They are the brains who guide the Ummah with their quills. The third are the seekers(ascetics). They are the hearts that pump faith into the Ummah. ” The ascetical practice of the seekers inspired people to keep faith in Allah and Al Ansari saw their importance so he preached similar ideas. He corrupted the ascetic ideals with the doctrine of dualism. The seekers did not deny the world because it was inherently material but rather they denied the pleasures of the world so that they may focus on achieving perfection like our Master Availer. They claimed that the family of Al Ansari are the true successors of their faith. They hold a monopoly on what is true but you do not see such things in Imaan Al-Rashidun. The hadith narrated by Faris Al Kadarsi proves that the successors of Imaan Al Rashidun are those who devote their lives to the cause of Allah, each struggling for the Haqq(truth). In Chapter Twenty Four, “ The Aengul Of Death will take his soul and Allah will then say “I AM THE ONE! THE ONLY! WHERE ARE YOUR FALSE GODS! WHERE ARE THE IDOLS YOU WORSHIPED? WHERE ARE YOUR KINGS? I AM THE ONE, THE ONLY, THE ALMIGHTY, THE KING OF KINGS, THE MASTER! YOU WERE THE ONES WHO THOUGHT YOU WOULD NOT RETURN TO ME! I AM THE KING OF THE WORLD, THE KING OF UNIVERSE, THE KING OF EVERYTHING, THE MAKER OF ALL!” ” The heretics view their Imams as this infallible people and worship them like idols. Do they not know that only Allah is worthy of worship? They take their Imams and say THEY ARE THE TRUTH. We take our Imams and say THEY ARE ON THE TRUTH because truth is only decided by Allah. Lastly, I ask all to stay away from their preachers and do not mix with them unless you wish to be misguided by the darkness that disguises itself as ‘light’. May Allah have mercy on the Ummah and guide these heretics or destroy their misguidance.

The Repentant Berserker In the markets of the Oasis, one can hear the talk about Qahir's death being spoken about. Many were speculating whether he was still one of them. There were disputes about whether he really died as a mumineen or a heretic. Hassan who just finished contemplating in the wilderness nearby overheard this conversation. Few drops of tears could be seen rolling down his cheeks and a smile could be seen forming on his face. He went in the middle of the street and called upon the tribesmen to listen to him. "Oh my people, Oh my people. Today, I bring you glad tidings from Qahir" The silence was broken with people discussing. A tribesman shouted "How could Qahir give glad tidings when he is dead? We don't even know if he died as a believer!" "Oh my people. Listen to me," Hassan would raise his voice to quell the noise that had arose. Hassan would continue with his story " Yesterday, I had a dream of Qahir. I was in the middle of the desert and I saw Qahir in white clothing. There was a light radiating from his face and he held a jug of water. He stood beside a fire with a calming smile and proceeded to extinguish the fire by pouring the water over it. Then he looked towards me and gave me a Salam. I asked him ' Qahir. Is that really you? ' Qahir smiled and said ' Ya Hassan, it's been long since we've met. By Allah's mercy, I am resting comfortably in this world. I send good tidings to the mumineen. Our Prophet Availer send his good tidings too.' Then, there was a bright light from the sky engulfing everything and I heard him saying 'Be righteous, my people'. Then I woke up , and saw the Kitab Al-Salam turned to chapter eleven: Repent. I had realized that the fire was a symbol of sin and that the water was a symbol of Allah's mercy. Oh my people, I beg you to send your salam to Qahir in your dua. Send your salam to the Prophet in your dua. Repent like our dear Qahir. May this story inspire faith in your hearts. Ameen."

Upon reading the letter, Hassan sighed and prayed ," Ya Allah, the Ummah of Availer needs your light. They have forgotten the rules of war and honor. To take a life of an innocent child is to dishonour the teachings of the Prophet. May Allah guide you Qahir."

The scholar Hassan ibn Khalid inspired by the message went into the streets and preached in the marketplace "Oh believers, oh believers. Take into account of your kinsmen crime. Bring them to justice. No longer shall such ignorance ever be prevalent. The Prophet came to abolish such barbaric practice so be brave and fight for truth even if it is against your own kin. Bring them to justice. Allah is great." He is then seen unsheathing a sword and pointed it to the sky and repeatedly shouting "Allahuakbar"

Hassan ibn Khalid reacts to the message with a sigh. He raises his hand up with his palms to the sky and prayed "Ya Allah, whichever path this may go, I trust it is in our destiny. "

Our Master Faiz Kharadeen In the marketplace of the Fakhr Tribe, one can hear the preaching of a man. He is a familiar face in the community. He is none other than the Rashidun mystic Hassan ibn Khalid. He is seen leaning on his walking stick while giving a sermon to the public. His hands gesture suggested such intense fervor in his preaching. Hassan asked "Ya mumineen, Ya mumineen Who is Faiz Kharadeen?" One of the men there would say "He is the uniter and the first Caliph of the Ummah" Hassan would answer "Indeed you speak truth. Sayyidina Faiz is our Caliph. He is our Master. Without him, all the blessings we have would have not existed. He is a chosen of Allah and we seek to be like him. So send your blessings to the friend of Allah and love him as though as you have met him. Indeed, he is the successor to the last Prophet of Allah, our master Availer. So let tears flow while I recite this poem. So let tears flow as I hit the duff." Hassan would recite the poem while hitting the duff. Play this song for the feels "Roar as loud as thunder All evil would tremble The prophecised uniter The clans would assemble A lion of Allah Availer's beloved A lion of Allah Availer's successor Descendant of a noble clan Kharadeen is their name Ferocious is the man For his might was never to be tamed A lion of Allah Availer's beloved A lion of Allah Availer's successor Ya Amir Al-Mumineen(Oh leader of the believers) Father to his people A man of the clan Kharadeen A shield for the believers A lion of Allah Availer's beloved A lion of Allah Availer's successor Ya Caliph Faiz, Champion of the Ummah Ya Caliph Faiz, Lion of Allah"

The Ascetic Mystic of Iman Al-Rashidun [Play this for the Feel] Outside in the streets of the Fakhr tribe, a man known as Hassan ibn Khalid is seen preaching to the people about Iman Al-Rashidun. The passion in his voice could be heard echoing across the area. Devotional songs could be heard. Several people stopped and watched the man. One could hear him reciting a poem melodiously with a duff.

People would gather around him. He would make a sermon. "Oh fellow tribesman. I am here to remind all of you about Allah's mercy and love. I am here to remind you of your obligations as fellow believers. We worship Him not out of just fear of the nether nor for the pleasures of the seven skies. Worship Him for you love your Rabb(Lord) For who am I but a sinner. He is our most forgiving Lord. He is one. He is one. The most just and the most merciful."
