Introduction

There are many people involved in the discussion of this subject, alongside what their discussions very often contain of extremism and exaggeration, misinformation and much side-tracking away from issues of greater and immediate direct significance to their faith (eemaan) and practice. In addition, the Rafidi Shi'ah and the Qadiyani Ahmadis and the Sufiyyah (and factions of the Khawaarij) are involved in pushing a lot of propaganda through the tube regarding this subject to support their doctrines through direct and indirect means.

Since the discussion of this subject is and has been current upon the tongues of many, including many of those ascribing to the Sunnah, it should be pointed out:

• That the ways and means of rectification in all times and ages is a return to the Book and the Sunnah upon the way of the Righteous Predecessors, then acting upon that pure Islam, calling to it, and remaining steadfast upon it, and it is exactly as is narrated from Imaam Maalik (rahimahullaah) "The latter part of this Ummah will not be rectified except by what rectified its earlier part."

• That the likes of the Khawaarij, the Murji'ah, the Qadariyyah, the Rafidah, the Jahmiyyah, the Mu'tazilah, the Esoteric Sufiyyah, the Baatiniyyah, and likewise the contemporary groups and parties who harbor errant beliefs and methodologies (such as al-Ikhwan al-Muslimeen and all their splinter groups), are all far more dangerous to the Ummah than an external threat whose danger is already acknowledged and known.

The threat of those aforementioned groups and sects whose deviation and misguidance is considered righteousness and guidance by many from the Muslim masses is more dangerous by far, as is indicated in the following quotations:

And this meaning is found with many of the notable Scholars of Islaam throughout the ages. The people of innovation have always been and will always be far more harmful to Islam and the Muslims, since they erode and destroy the actual creed and faith upon which the life of the hearts depends and drive it into the ground or into the ocean.

The heads of deviation, innovation and misguidance are the example of those in a ship who destroy its planks, sabotage it, making holes in it, causing everyone to sink with them. Thus, being on guard and defending against them is of greater significance than standing guard and defending against an external ship (of pirates) because the latter (external ship of pirates) are not encouraged except with a combination of perceiving their own superiority and seeing the (weakening and detrimental) actions of the former (deviants and innovators), and the history of Islam is replete with such lessons.

So whilst reading this series you should always keep the above in mind and not lose track of your priorities as an individual. Your priorities are to earn righteuos actions from the seeds of correct sound eemaan (faith) you are supposed to be cultivating in your heart as a means to enter Paradise and be saved from the Hellfire.

In light of the above consideration (which you should keep in mind throughout), the purpose behind this series is to address this subject and to clarify it for the record, to outline and document its details, put it within its true perspective and provide the correct methodology and approach to repel and counter its dangers and harms, and to provide a proper perspective on it, in refutation of the propaganda of the Rafidi Shi'ah and Qadiyani Ahmadis and those who are speaking on this subject out of error and ignorance

The Presence of a Secret Agenda For Establishing a Global Secular Order

There occurs in the fatwa numbered 893, and found in the "Fataawaa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah" (1/312), the following insightful explanation from the Permanent Committee, and it is signed by Shaykh Abdullaah al-Ghudayaan and Shaykh Abdur-Razzaaq al-Afeefee and Shaykh Abdullaah al-Manee' (and we also have another fatwa from the Fiqh Council on the subject that includes Shaykh Abdul-Azeez Bin Baz, see below), so in this fatwa there occurs:

Masonry is a secret political organization which seeks to destroy religions and virtuous characteristics (morals), and the institution of secular laws and non-religious [secular] order in their place...

And in the fatwa of the Fiqh Council in their ruling on Freemasonry, signed by Imaam Ibn Baz (in the capacity of the head of the Permanent Committee for Research and Verdicts), and also Shaykh Abdullah bin Humaid (in the capacity of the Director of the Judicial Council), and printed in (مجلة البحوث الإسلامية), "Islamic Research Magazine", (25/337-340) there occurs:

It (Masonry) in its real and hidden objectives is opposed to all religions, its (intent) being to destroy them all in general, and to destroy Islam in the souls of its adherents, in particular.

And Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) said in the cassette "Silsilah al-Huda wan-Nur" (tape no. 420):

Freemasonry is a secret Jewish organization which acts with severe, intense conniving...

And Shaykh Ahmad bin Yahyaa an-Najmee (rahimahullaah), in his book on Questions and Answers on Manhaj, he stated, in one of the answers:

...I say that Freemasonry is a Jewish organization, the intent behinds its institution is the nullification of the [divine] legislature, and the gratification of impulses and lusts, and the worship of materialism...

And Shaykh Abdul-Aziz ar-Rajihee has explained, as occurs in "Fawaa'id fil-Aqaa'id" (no. 44) that:

Masonry: A secret society or a Jewish organization whose goal is to destroy beliefs and religions.

Here the Scholars have explained both the existence and nature of the agenda which is the abolition of religiosity and morals (in general) and Islam (in particular, as we shall see later), and the replacement of all of that with a [global] secular order. The institution of Freemasonry is a vehicle for the implementation of this agenda, with the lower levels heedless about the true purpose for which Freemasonry is used (as the Scholars also point out later).

And we should point out that whilst Jews are represented in this group, it is by no means an exclusively Jewish agenda, since these people at the highest levels are against revealed religion in principle, as a whole, and they have their own (occult, esoteric) religion. Freemasonry, as an institution, is simply, a tool, a vehicle for the agenda. There is subversion of Judaism (as we will explain) just as there is subversion of Christianity and Islam, and these people don't or wouldn't think anything of sacrificing millions of Christians, Jews or Muslims, for purely political agendas. This agenda operates at the political level, economical and social levels. And we should point out the Scholars have also stated these people are involved in most wars, revolutions and upheavals in history (this will be quoted and covered in a subsequent article inshaa'Allaah).

Types of Responses to This Subject

The topic of "secret orders" and the presence of an organized agenda to abolish religion and morals in general and to replace it with an irreligious secular order (i.e. opposed to revealed religion) on a global scale is one that is met with a few responses:

The first is one of denial and its dismissal. As Muslims seeking to adhere to the Sunnah and the way of the Salaf, we rightfully show great rigor and scrutiny in validating knowledge-based and historical affairs that pertain to the religion, and great rigor in scrutinizing sources of knowledge for the religion (books, individuals, groups, sects). This type of scrutiny is absolutely necessary. Without making it appear that the exact same type of rigorous scrutiny should be given to worldly affairs, it is still important that scrutiny is shown to modern history and the sources of information from which a working world view is acquired. Often, when it comes to the world and historical objective fact, such scrutiny goes straight out of the window and the reality presented in the (privately-owned and controlled) media is accepted without question, and any view not current in the privately owned mass-media is dismissed. Here you have some from the Major Scholars outlining a clear agenda which is implemented through great conniving and deception, and which aims to subvert religion, Islam in particular (as this is a barrier to the desired political, economical and social changes). And this subversion is done mainly through the deviant groups and sects of innovation and heretics (who are often the callers to corrupt beliefs, innovated worship, to secularism and to the compromise and erosion of the legislative affairs of Islam be they related to worship, family, morals, finance or otherwise).

The second response is of a people who take this matter (of a secret agenda) and run with it out of extremism. We have seen some of these people emerge and wreak havoc in the not too distant past from those who developed their own self-righteous bigoted attitude of "claiming to know the fiqh ul-waaqi'" and who started attacking the Major Scholars with evil insinuations. In their intellectual bankruptcy and foolishness, claiming to oppose secularism, they went to on support, promote or sympathize with the promulgators of those subversive revolutionary methodologies derived from a materialist philosophy emanating from secular atheist Jews in the 19th and early 20th centuries which came to them through the writings of certain non-scholars who tried to throw that Jacobinist-Marxist-Leninist filth upon Islam after having years of their lives gulping down those Western materialist philosophies (see here), and having evaluated early Islamic history through the "social justice" of Marxist-Communism. These are your grossly-deluded, hypocritical and intellectually bankrupt contemporary Khawarij who come out in the name of "fighting secularism" only to be the greatest of defenders and allies of these ignorant sentimental non-Scholars who envisioned an Islam fused with the secular tenets of Marxist-Communism taken from atheist secular Jews such as Marx, Engels, Lenin and your 19th century Jacobinists, and who promote the books of such ignoramuses the world over. There are other factions who accuse the Scholars themselves of being Freemasons. Something which Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmee rebutted and refuted in his defence of the Permanent Committee of Major Scholars which we shall document in this series too inshaa'Allaah.

The third response is a group of people ascribing to the Sunnah who wallow in this subject, sponging the sayings and opinions of every Abdullah, Zaid and Jones. They spend days and nights hammering the tube, watching the ignorance and foolishness put together by deluded individuals, many of them Muslims, who incorporate music and that which is haraam within their so called "exposure of the conspiracy", and a lot of it coming from the Rafidi Shi'ites and Qadiyani Ahmadis. These people unfortunately take their knowledge from what amounts to "entertainment" on the tube and not from objective, factual study. Then they call others to that which they are upon of time-wasting away from learning the deen and and away from that in which there is true and real benefit. These people are often caught up in the layers of disinformation and confusion that hide the true workings of this machinery, because they are gulping "entertainment", they are not involved in objective factual study in any sense of the word.

Hence, in this series of articles we will present a framework of understanding for this subject found in the sayings of the Major Scholars. At the same time, we will fill in details around this framework which are based upon: a) the source works, policy documents, historical writings, and the sayings of of this faction of people, and b) those from within their ranks who exposed their agendas, and c) the serious and bona fide researchers who have correctly characterized the nature of the agenda and its machinery, whilst noting that within an agenda as bold and grand as this, there will certainly be much disinformation aimed at concealing it, this will be touched upon briefly in what follows too.

Necessity of Exposing the Plots and Plans

In the fatwa of the Fiqh Council (Shaykh Ibn Baz, Shaykh Abdullah bin Humaid), there occurs:

And the members of the academy undertook a thorough study of this dangerous organization...

And in the Permanent Committee fatwa (al-Ghudayan, al-Afeefee, al-Manee'), there occurs, about the one who finds out about the realities of this organization through the inside:

... however it is obligatory for him to free himself from them when their affair becomes clear to him and he must reveal their true reality to the people and strive to disclose their secrets and plots against the Muslims, so that this will be an exposition of them and so that their actions are frustrated ...

As the intent of the Scholars is to warn from what they describe as dangerous, it is befitting that the plots and plans of these people be identified and detailed. As we shall see further in this series that from the greatest elements of these plots to achieve the aforementioned agenda is the creation, support and bolstering of the groups and sects of innovation and deviation. In fact, on the website of the Scholars, Shaykh Abdul-Aziz ar-Rajihee, there is an indication (in al-Fawaa'id fil-Aqeedah, no. 44) to an opinion regarding the involvement of these people with the formation of the sects of innovation at the dawn of Islam:

And it is said that the first Masonic sacrifice [in Islam] was [that of] Umar bin al-Khattaab (radiallaahu anhu), then they strove in the fitnah (tribulation) until they killed Uthmaan (radiallaahu anhu), then Alee, until there became from amongst them, the Shi'ah and the Khawaarij.

And he is alluding here to the Persian Zoroastrian plotters behind the assassination of Umar (radiallaahu anhu), and the revolution led against Uthmaan (radiallahu anhu) by Abdullaah bin Saba' and those Khawarij who fought against Alee (radiallaahu anhu). In addition to this, the saying of the creation of the Qur'an was taken from the saying of the creation of the Torah which was said by Talmudic Rabbis, and the negation of Allaah's uluww (highness, loftiness) was taken by al-Ja'd bin Dirham, through a chain of narration, from a Qabbalistic Jew who practiced sorcery upon the Prophet (alayhis salaam), and the deviations in Allaah's Names and Attributes coming through al-Ja'd bin Dirham were taken from Sabean philosophers, who themselves were gnostics, astrologers whose doctrines were behind the formation of the Baatini Ismaa'eelees, and who transmitted Neo-Platonism and Hermeticism (pantheistic mysticism and magic) and astrology to the Arabs.

So the intent here is that the Innovators and ideological innovations in Islam are simply the projections into Islam of external ideologies and philosophies, many of which possibly have Masonic origins, as hinted at by Shaykh Abdul-Aziz ar-Rajihee - since Freemasonry, as an institution, is ancient, it goes back to the time of Nimrod (18th century BC) and Babylon in the view of some, and to the time of Sulaiman (alayhis salaam) in the 10th century BC in the view of others. And this shows that those who have enmity towards Islam try to corrupt it through the infusion of false doctrines, philosophies and ideologies into it, either through infiltration or by finding, supporting and promoting suitable carriers who will propagate and invite to that deviation. And this is why in effect the Innovators are far more harmful to Islam and the Muslims than an external foe by which no Muslim is likely to be deceived.

A Broad Summary of the Sayings of the Scholars On This Topic

Here is a broad overview and summary of what is found generally the two fatwas, and the sayings of the other scholars that we will be quoting from which have been mentioned above:

Freemasonry is a dangerous organization, and is a secret society with secret agendas which are kept hidden except from those in the higher levels. The organization extends to all corners of the world, and fools people about its true and real objectives. Many are drawn in at the lower level simply because they believe it will bring them personal benefits. They have rituals, pledges of allegiance and formalities used to inculcate absolute loyalty and sworn secrecy. At the lower level, the gullible are left to practice their religion, whilst at the higher level, they become apostates and adopt the religion of masonry (will be explained further below). They have political aims and are behind most political upheavals (wars, revolutions and so on) and subversive movements. It has aims towards [revealed] religions, intending to compromise, assimilate or destroy them. It recruits people in positions of authority in finance, politics, science and other disciplines and all of this is for the purpose of exploiting such expertise for the furthering of their own agenda (whilst keeping these people in the dark). It has many branches and names (signified by the different lodges, degrees and ranks), and it is amongst the most dangerous and destructive of organizations and its aims are to abolish [revealed religion] and its associated morality and replace it with a global secular order. They subvert religions by actively promoting deviant, innovatory creeds and ideologies, giving material support to those who carry such ideas and beliefs.

We can now look at some of the aspects of Freemasonry mentioned in the two fatwas.

Freemasonry Is Ancient

In the fatwa of the Permanent Committee (no. 893):

The Masonic organizations are the oldest of the secret organizations (orders) which never cease to exist and whose [formative] origin is (kept) hidden...

Freemasonry as an institution is very old and some of them claim that it goes back to the time of Nimrod (around 18th century BC) and the building of the tower of Babil (Babylon), and they have a strong association with the mystery religions of Babylon and Egypt in particular (all of their symbolism and rituals are taken from those mystery religions). And others say that it goes back to the time of Sulayman (alayhis salaam) and his Temple (around 10th century BC), and for this reason Freemasonry makes very strong associations with Sulayman, and all Freemasons are sworn to help rebuild Solomon's Temple once they reach a certain degree or rank within Freemasonry.

Our concern here is Modern Freemasonry as that is the vehicle through which the agenda is carried out in a modern context. The first Grand Lodge, the United Grand Lodge of England, was established in 1717CE, and it is from this lodge that all English speaking lodges in the world were precipitated. In the fatwa of the Permanent Committee no. 893 (1/312), they explain:

This is supported by the fact that Jewish organization (order of things) and teachings (traditions) were taken as the basis for founding the Grand Lodge in 1717 A.D. with its principles and symbols.

So our discussion is regarding "Modern Freemasonry" which starts in the early 18th century.

Qabbalistic Background and Basis

The background and basis of Freemasonry is in the Qabbalist magic of the Jewish Rabbis. This magic was devised by the Jews who were in Babylon during their captivity by Nebuchadnezzar in the 6th century BC. The Qabbalah is a codified system of magic whose core belief is that "Man (i.e. your Talmudic Rabbi) is God" and he can empower himself with that godhood through the practice of "spirituality" which is really magic and the invocation of the devils (called "spirits") through astrology and numerology. It is a secret teaching passed on through initiation only (to Rabbis) and kept within secret orders, whilst nominal, surface-level elements of it are given to everybody else. It is essentially, and in truth, a system of demonic sorcery practiced by the Rabbis disguised as "spirituality" to the naive and gullible, and the "spirits" are invoked in order to harness their powers. The true and real secrets of the Qabbalah are only taught orally to the select few. This magic dates back to ancient Babylon and ancient Egypt, where the Rabbis picked up magic and astrology (during captivity) and incorporated into their religion. This is why they are described in the Qur'an as "believers in al-Jibt and at-Taghut" (see here) and as those who "followed what the devils rehearsed to them during the kingship of Solomon" (see here). So all the symbols, codes, rituals and rites in Freemasonry are derived from this Qabbalah which has been transmitted orally through the ages. It was written down in the 13th century in the form of the Zohar, although the core secrets of it are still only passed on orally. Rabbi Isaac Wise in the 19th century, who stated (as reported in "The British Journal" 30/4/1965, through a variety of sources):

Freemasonry is a Jewish organization from A to Z, its history, its requirements, its ranks, its degrees, its passwords, its secret words...

It is also acknowledged by leading figures of Freemasonry such as Albert Pike (19th century) and Manly P. Hall (20th century), that Freemasonry is essentially the Qabbalah (Jewish occult mysticism). Pike says in "Morals and Dogma (p. 741):

Masonry is a search after Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah...

And on page 744 he says:

All truly dogmatic religions have issued from the Kabalah and return to it: everything scientific and grand in the religious dreams of all the Illuminati, Jacob Bohme, Swedenborg, Saint-Martin, and others, is borrowed from the Kabalah; all the Masonic associations owe to it their Secrets and their Symbols...

Whilst Freemasonry is based heavily upon Jewish traditions, rituals and magic (Qabbalah) and has existed for a long time, the formal development of the aforementioned agenda in modernity did not start to crystallize until the 18th century.

The Masonic Religion At the Higher Levels

In the fatwa of the Fiqh Council (Ibn Baz, al-Humayd), there occurs:

The naive and ill-informed members are left free to practice their religious worship and the (organization of freemasonry) benefits by directing them and assigning tasks to them within the limits that are appropriate for them, and they remain at the lower level. As for the heretical (apostates) or those who are prepared to become apostates, they are gradually promoted to higher levels according to their experience and on-going tests which are given to members based upon their willingness to serve their plans and their dangerous ideology.

The Masonic religion, at the higher levels of Freemasonry is what is known as "the Luciferian Doctrine" we alluded to it previously within this article here. Basically, this doctrine states that true illumination comes from Lucifer (Satan) who has given them the secrets of eternal life (which they believe they are working towards and will eventually achieve through science and technology). They believe Lucifer is the true god, the life-giver, the light bearer. Lucifer, according to them, emancipated man (i.e. Adam, in the Garden) by enlightening him and giving him reason and intellect and hidden knowledge through which eternity can be attained (see this article), something which they believe God kept from Adam (alayhis salaam). They do not see Lucifer as "Satan" but as a god of good and the spirits with him (i.e. the devils amongst the Jinn) are also good. They believe they have a right to rule over mankind, because they are "illuminated" (superior in intellect), and that those who follow revealed religion are duped and are gullible fools who don't know the whole truth and the whole picture like they do. This is what you have at the highest levels of Masonry whilst those in the lower degrees are kept in the dark about this. And this Luciferian doctrine is akin to the doctrine of those about whom Allaah saids, ( يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْجِبْتِ وَالطَّاغُوتِ), "...They believe in al-Jibt and at-Taghut ...", referring to the Rabbis, whose magic is the Qabbalah. There is a relationship and link between the institution of Freemasonry, that Rabbinical (Talmudic) Priesthood (who believe in their own divine authority and are believers in al-jibt wat-taghut), and the Qabbalist Internationalist Usurious Bankers who came out of (what is now) Germany in the late 18th century upon that Luciferian doctrine.

Infiltration of Freemasonry

In the fatwa of the Permanent Committee (no. 893):

The foundations of Freemasonry were based upon theories (philosophical constructs) taken from numerous sources, the majority of which are Jewish traditions.

Freemasonry has existed for a long time and its principles and traditions derive from the Qabbalah as indicated above. Much of the occult symbolism, numerology and astrology that is integral to their belief system goes back to the worship of Osiris, Isis and Horus (Egyptian mystery religion) and to Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz (Babylonian mystery religion), and these mystical religions form the basis of their philosophy, dogma and morality, and much of this has been transmitted through the Jewish Qabbalah which itself grew as a system of magic based upon those ancient mystery religions.

And also in the fatwa:

The Jews took advantage of people's simple-mindedness (naivety) and their good intentions, and infiltrated masonry and took control of its distinguished centers, thus they breathed a Jewish spirit into the Masonic lodges and subjugated them to their own aims...

And Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) said in the cassette "Silsilah al-Huda wan-Nur" (tape no. 420):

And this speech suffices a Muslim, as for entering into the details, this is an historical matter, a Muslim is able to return to the books and treatises authored in explanation of the infamies and tribulations that result from behind Freemasonry.

A lot has been said and claimed, with there being much misinformation, and historical inaccuracies, but the following is the most accurate and relevant information, and it is summarized from the earliest documentation, as well as research based on original German sources:

Freemasonry has historically been mostly a benign organization but around 235 years ago in the late 18th century, it was infiltrated by a movement in Bavaria (modern-day Germany) calling itself "the Order of the Illuminati" led by an Adam Weishaupt, starting in 1776. The core principles of this movement were the abolition of governments, monarchies, religion, private property, inheritance and of the family institution. This was in fact the ideological foundation and precursor of the subversive movements of the 19th century that were involved in wars and revolutions, and this very same ideology was the blueprint in the "Communist Manifesto" of Marx and Engels in 1848.

However, it so happened that the plot of Weishaupt (and those with him) was uncovered by the authorities, their houses searched, and their writings were exposed and published openly, and the movement was made illegal and it effectively went underground. Weishaupt was helped by Ernst II Ludwig, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg [whose direct ancestors are the British royal family], to escape persecution.

Two books were written about this order in 1798, one of which is "Proofs of a Conspiracy: Against all the Religions and Governments of Europe, Carried on in the Secret Meetings of Freemasons, Illuminati and Reading Societies" by John Robison (Scottish Freemason) who had insider knowledge as they initially recruited him and he traveled to them and became very familiar with their agenda. The second more authoritative book is "Memoirs on the History of Jacobinism", by Augustin Barruel also published in 1798, who demonstrates the involvement of these people in the French Revolution. The agents of this agenda spread across Europe and they also turned up in America, where George Washington was aware (by 1798) of their presence and their agenda, and he referred to them by name "the Illuminati" and "the Jacobinists" in a letter of his written in the same year a scan of which is readily available in online archives.

Despite being broken up before the turn of the 19th century, the order had managed to get around 2000 or so members at least from all across Europe including high political and aristocratic figures. One of these was Prince Karl of Hesse-Kassel, who was a zealous practitioner of the occult, astrology, Sabbatean Qabbalah and a Freemason. His banker was Meyer Amschel Rothschild who along with his sons made this dynasty amongst the richest monarchies in Europe through clever management in the 1780s. These Qabbalist bankers also had financial ties and links with the Saxe-Gotha-Altenburgs who became the English monarchy and later changed their name to "Windsor" in 1917 (to conceal their true background), and they also provided financial services to others from the German aristocracy. It is through these relationships that banking families of Khazarian Ashkenazi ethnicity and some of the European Aristocracy came to prominence during the 19th century. In fact, there has been a lot of inter-marriage between them since that time, essentially merging them together.

Numerous historians (some of whom are Jewish) assert a role for the Sabbatean Frankists - heretical "crypto-Jews" who see sin as "holy" and adopt other religions as fronts - and these are also practitioners of the Qabbalah, and there is historical proof for ties between them and the bankers already mentioned, and they were present in abundance in Eastern Europe and what was then known as Germany.

This aristocracy and banking dynasty (interconnected through marriage kept strictly within their families) is what is known and referred to as "the Establishment".

With this background, is is easy to trace the "hands and fingers" behind wars, revolutions, coups, and subversive movements through the 19th and 20th centuries, and you will readily grasp what is meant by "the Establishment". You will quite quickly understand the meaning and significance of terms such as "the Fabian Society", "Rhodes Scholars, "the Milner Group", "the Round Table" and the ideologies and activities of well-known names such as Bertrand Russell, H.G. Wells, the Huxley family, George Bernard Shaw (by way of example only) - elitist, eugenicist, collectivist, socialist, communist bigots. You will also understand the new religious cults that were created by Freemasonry in the 19th century such as the Mormons, the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Bahai-ullaah to work on the religious aspect of the agenda of World Socialism, Collectivism. And there are many more names, events and occurrences which are of significance but it would be a diversion at this point. It is sufficient to say that most of the major events in the 19th and 20th centuries (wars, revolutions, coups, movements and so on) were a part of the covert agenda first initiated by Adam Weishaupt (world Communism, collectivism, abolition of monarchy, government, religion, private property and family), then laid out more fully in "the Communist Manifesto" of Marx and Engels, and it is likely, from surrounding circumstances, that Weishaupt, in his original agenda, may well have been funded by the Qabbalistic Askhenazi Bankers present in his time and locality.

As we will explain in other articles, these people at the highest levels are occultists, qabbalists, Luciferians, and they are against revealed religion in principle, and mass murder through wars, tyranny and the likes is not a great deal to them, because for their goals, "its worth it".

True and Real Higher-Level Objectives Are Kept Hidden

In the fatwa of the Permanent Committee (no. 893):

...and its objective is hidden from many people, rather it is hidden from many of its (own) members, on account of the scheming of its leaders in what they have hatched of an evil plot...

The lower level is known as the Blue Lodge and it is the first three degrees. The vast majority never make it past the third degree, and this is provides an excellent cover at the lower level. These are your businessmen, lawyers, police officers, and other professionals, and they are just the "useful idiots" at the bottom, that is how they are seen from the top, have no doubt about it. A lot of these "useful idiots" are smart and educated people, and they will write articulate refutations against "anti-masonry" - and that's just one of the benefits of having a hierarchical structure where those at the lower levels are deliberately kept in the dark and who can then, in all sincerity, refute what they believe to be false allegations against Freemasonry. This is the best type of "useful idiot", the one that's kept wholly in the dark but thinks he is enlightened with truths. So most people are led to believe that Masonry is just as club that anyone can join. Albert Pike writes in "Morals and Dogma" (p. 819):

The Blue Degrees are but the court or portico (porch) of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine that he understands them... their true explication (explanation and understanding) is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry (those of the 32nd and 33rd Degrees).

These people haven't a clue as to what goes on above them, and they just think they are in a club that will help them in their business or their profession and that they do "charity" work. The smarter, ambitious psychopathic types who have outstanding qualities and skills which can be of use are initiated by invitation into higher degrees where the secrets are gradually revealed as they progress higher and higher. At the lower levels they are told they can follow any religion. As they progress, they eventually learn that their god is Lucifer, the "Light Bearer" (the one who gave mankind "illumination" in the Garden, meaning the keys to eternity), and they learn that the true religion is the Luciferian doctrine which we have outlined within this article, and what they learn is the symbolism, the rites (rituals) and the secret mystical names (which are in reality the names of the Jinn, the devils). In Freemasonry, at the higher levels, they believe that knowing the name of a "spirit" (a devil in reality) leads to the ability to harness its power. So what goes on at the higher levels is something else, and lower Masonry is just an effective cover from the public. When you reach the higher level, the agenda (known as "the Great Work") is revealed and by that time you are already dedicated to its furtherance.

Secrecy and Discretion is Integral to Their Success

In the fatwa of the Permanent Committee (no. 893):

For this reason most of its affairs are organized [and communicated] verbally (and not written down). When they want to write an idea or announce it to the public, it is first subjected to the scrutiny of Masonic censors who decide whether it may be released or withheld.

Secrecy at the highest level is of paramount importance, and this is how and why the agenda continues unabated after generations and generations because they are able to maintain a cloud of secrecy. In the 1800s and early 1900s most people were not literate and there was no compulsory education and reading was something that the elite did, they used to freely and openly write their agendas and goals, since in that time writing books is what they did for each other, and the common folk did not read. Even in the early 1900s they continued to do so. Go and track copies of the works of Charles Darwin, H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Thomas Huxley, Aldous Huxley, Julian Huxley (all Freemasons) by way of just a small sample to see one element of the agenda that is related to Eugenics within the framework of the desired world Socialist order. Eugenics is simply the ideological justification (Social Darwinism, and Marxist Communism) to get rid of unfavored, inferior "stock" from the human race. It is what Hitler took from Britain and the US as this Social Darwinian ideology was being implemented there first. Today, these (and other) agendas are found clothed and hidden in the policy documents of NGO's (non-governmental organizations) and tax-exempt think tanks and inter-generational foundations which are all funded by them, and they write the policies which governments implement (in the developed secular nations and the "undeveloped third-world" nations). It is through these tax-exempt permanent inter-generational foundations that the agenda is carried out and continues unabated, and this is where the true and real government lies, and you will find this being admitted very frankly, if you know where to look. From time to time, you get books which are very candid, an example is that of Carrol Quigley (an insider historian) called "Tragedy and Hope". These are the books where real objective factual history is written, because they are written by them for them for the historical record.

Great Deception is Involved and They are Determined In Their Goals

In the fatwa of the Permanent Committee (no. 893):

...and its objective is hidden from many people, rather it is hidden from many of its (own) members, on account of the scheming of its leaders in what they have hatched of an evil plot and covert deception, and due to their intense eagerness for concealing the agenda that they have ratified [amongst themselves], and the results and goals they desire to reach.

The ratified agenda is to bring in a secular order which is World Socialism, Communism, Collectivism run by privately owned corporations which we will detail in another article in this series. The majority of people within Freemasonry don't really understand the bigger agenda, due to the way that the people at the top keep things hidden and the use of high levels of deception as the Scholars have explained. You can refer to "Tragedy and Hope" by Carrol Quigley and also "The Committee of 300" by Dr. John Coleman.

They Are Behind Most Wars, Revolutions and Upheavals

In both fatwas that the Scholars state that Freemasonry [as an institution that is being used] is behind most wars, continuous or recurring (political and military) revolutions, toppling of regimes, and major upheavals. We will document this in a separate article in this series.

Defining the Covert Agenda

Now, that we have the presence of an agenda identified from the speech of the Scholars, we will now identify and describe it and this is continued in Part 2 of this series.

Important Closing Note

It is crucial when speaking of subjects like these to keep things within perspective and within the proper framework. Thus, we do not exaggerate in this subject and make it appear as if all the evil in the world is from "Freemasonry" as some ignorant people present the issue, and nor do we dismiss it and consider it a non-issue. We should understand that the mobilization of nations, armies (or secret societies in this case) to bring about harm, subjugation and the likes all comes under the decree of Allaah and is simply a sabab (ways and means) from the asbaab, and that the way to deal with these types of matters is likewise a return to the shar'ee asbaab, not ways and methods which are alien and foreign to Islaam.
