New video message from al-Murābiṭūn’s Abū Ḥamzah al-Anṣārī: "Indeed, the Religion In the Sight of God is Islām: The Rule of God With the People of Truth and People of Falsehood, First Episode"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

The first part of the title for this release is in reference to Qur’anic verse 3:19. Here it is in full: “Indeed, the religion in the sight of God is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them – out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of God , then indeed, God is swift in [taking] account.”
