		<description>Exactly as you said &quot;Dip in the Ocean&quot;. But I wonder why these people write comments just by looking at arrivals. I would say, &quot;Arrivals should be the last thing to watch&quot; after you make a study of the subject. May Allah save us all from the misguidance.</description>

		<description>You watched Arrivals couple of days ago &amp; came to conclusion within few days without even researching the issue. Let me know what books have read with regard to these issues ?</description>

		<description>Bismillaahi rrahmaan irraheem.

In your point no:
13) The aspect of why all the leaders are practicing and embracing Satanism and dominating the world, who are working to eradicate religion and the belief in Allah, neglects to address the fact that the Most-Powerful and the Most-Merciful is Greater. Allah is All-Knowing and not unaware of the plots of Satan for surely the pen has been lifted and nothing occurs without the Knowledge and Will of Allah, Most-High. Let us not forget this crucial and important point as we are told that Satan is taking over the world through the whims and pacts of the elite and leaders.

You are completely wrong here. It does not neglect to address the fact that the Most-Powerful and the Most-Merciful is Greater. Rather, you are blindfolded to see the truth. In the sereis, there is a quote from Surah Taha where Allah(subuhaana wa&#039;ta ala) mentions the argument &amp; confrontation between Moosa(AS) &amp; Fir&#039;aun. The Verse continues by saying that Allah&#039;s power prevailed over Fir&#039;aun &amp; his army after they were drowned in sea. And that this lesson is applicable for all ages. Are we to forget that Shaitan misled our father Adam(AS) and mother Hawwa(AS) even when they were in the Garden of Eden ? Its obvios that one who practices &amp; embraces satanism would indulge in eradicating the religion and belief in Allah. But they are bound to fail for sure in any case.

&quot;Did I not enjoin on you O ye children of Adam that ye should not worship Satan; for that he was to you an enemy avowed?&quot;
&quot;And that ye should worship Me (for that) this was the Straight Way?&quot;
&quot;But he did lead astray a great Multitude of you. Did ye not then understand?&quot;
&quot;This is the Hell of which ye were (repeatedly) warned! &quot;Embrace ye the (Fire) this Day for that ye (persistently) rejected (Truth).&quot; [36:60-64].

you need to make a research on such a vast topic before putting up a blog here, brothers. this is an ocean as some one has indicated above that hardly any muslim scholars has touched this topic. I do believe that Conspiracies do exist but it is exxagerated sometimes. late 90s every single disaster has been warned aforetime like iraq, afghanistan, destabilization in the middle east, etc. But the deniers of conspiracy theories had a different explanation at that time &amp; they have a different opinion now. someone also noted above that free masonary is taghoot which is true. such occult beliefs &amp; worships creeps inside slowly in an environment where the foundation of Tawheed is not strong on which the rest of Islamic pillars stand. Scholars have made a study of taghoot but they dont even have iota of understanding what free masonary is.

An advice to the maker of arrivals:

1.Add references of quran &amp; ahadiths as much as possible
2.try to black out videos that contains lewdness &amp; sex atleast by removing its traces on the video
3.dont forget to include the phrase &quot;wa allaahu aalem(And Allah knows best)&quot; end of each video.

May Allah guide us all.</description>

		<description>A lot of movie clips in Arrivals, especially Lord of the Rings. I hope folks can tell fiction from fact because it would be most disconcerting if people start saying that to defeat the Anti-Christ, we must send Sauron&#039;s Ring to Mount Doom.</description>

		<description>Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu,

Last comment from Abdullah &quot;what the arrivals says is that there is a system that a waits the dajjal, by stripping the world from religious beliefs&quot; has infact bulldozed the entire forum right from the base. For years together, no analysis or research has been made on this issue except &quot;The arrivals&quot;. I could not believe my own eyes that UAE has installed statues of Pharoah all around thier country as shown in Arrivals. I had to call my relative who was in Dubai to confirm the truth. What kind of insane forum is this that did address this issue when taaghoot/idols are put in Islamic land &amp; simply brush aside these factors. Will this not lead to Shirk ?

A well known authentic Hadith narrated by An-Nawaas ibn sam&#039;an in Muslim says that when Dajjal arrives, he will invite you to the new religion. I believe that Arrivals has addressed this issue. 

wasalam

		<description>Salam to my bros n sisters,
I have watched all the series in the Arrivals and the Wake Up project...Truthfully,what most of our bros comment are true.Alhamdulilah,I am enlightened and wanted to research more on what the Quran said..I understand that some of you learn the Quran and understand the Quran better which makes you say that watching the videos are just a waste of time...yes,it is a waste of time because of the theories without facts...but to those who don&#039;t study the Quran or know what is hadiths,this is a wake up call for them..it is a wake up call for me...I do want to stress to most of you that PLZZZ DO NOT BELIEVE THE VIDEOS 100%!!!It is merely a platform for you so go back to authentic sources like the Quran and hadith.
There&#039;s a hadith by At Tirmidhee that the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said &quot;Stick to my sunnah and the sunnah of the rightly guided Caliphs after me.Hold onto it with your molar teeth.And beware of newly-invented matters,since ever newly invented affair is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance&quot;..

So,if you are unsure whether the videos are true or that particular knowledge is true,go back to Quran and Sunnah...As for my bros comments who said that the videos are a waste of time,let&#039;s listen to the Prophet&#039;s last sermon...All of us are Muslims here,either we are Wahhabis,or Sunnis or Shites or whatever sects as long as we do not practice shirk!!

I hope that we all come to the common grounds,throw away our egos and together learn what the Quran is trying to teach us all..If we cant throw away our ego,then forever will we be trapped in the dispute among us Muslims till Judgement Day...anyone of you disagree with me that we are at The End age or Akhir Zaman?

It is now up to us what do we want in this world...Lastly a reminder for you and for me
Verse from the Quran &quot;And protect yourself and your family from the Hellfire&quot;.(I forgot which surah)

All goodness comes from ALLAH and the badness come from my mistakes...Wallah wua&#039;lam</description>

		<description>Just by the way one speaks and delivers his message tells a lot about a person and his/her character. Using insulting words towards others undermines yourself. Keep that in mind. And Brother (author of the article) never tried to hide the truth, instead he tried to promote truth using more authentic sources (rather than simply youtube) which in my opinion is very true, seeking knowledge from Quran and hadith provides truth without opposing views. BUT you should understand author is NOT disproving what is being said in the &#039;Arrivals&#039; but rather questioning where the sources come from and how authentic are they, doing constructive criticism. And in my opinion, the sources used in arrivals are not at all authentic and rather a `view`, i am also not claiming everything said in the video is false because there may be some hidden sources that would better satisfy me to agree with what is being said in the video (for some parts) but thinking from an open and constructive mind, the sources used in video are simply not enough to conclude that the claim they are making is in fact true, after all isn&#039;t that what the western educational system teaches us? finding loop holes and questioning of the sources before concluding something? Although i can say most of the stuff in the video is astonishing and does reveal truth at some level using logic, but can you suggest that the &#039;planned&#039; 2008 recession was also tied with &#039;satanic&#039; beliefs and the &#039;same secret soceity&#039; was behind it? (referring to the documentary called &quot;inside job&quot; in which there are CLEAR evidence and AUTHENTIC sources to claim 2008 recession was planned) but only for the greedy bankers who gave themselves millions of $ when gov&#039;t bailed them out with billions of dollars, it is a capatilist system and a lot of views in arrivals does not account for that rather says everything is &#039;controlled by them&#039;. IF YOU ARE IN WESTERN SOCIETY, THAT IS WHAT THE WESTERN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM TEACHES US FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO POST SECONDARY EDUCATION THAT ALWAYS DO CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND USE AUTHENTIC SOURCES TO SUGGEST THE CLAIM YOU MAKE, OTHERWISE IT IS NOT OF QUALITY.</description>

		<description>I agree with your point, but arrogance is a sin my muslim brother. It is so heavy that whosoever has even a little arrogance in their heart will never see paradise. So lets keep the discussion friendly and try to bridge each-others understanding instead of insulting our fellow muslims.</description>
