These are authentic evidences from revelation and straight forward quotations of Islamic scholars that lie at the heart of the matter, and that are designed to end disagreement, put bickering to rest, and silence arrogance. But for avoidance of lengthiness, we would have cited more evidence and quotations, as this issue constitutes the principal theme in the entire Noble Qur'an. Nonetheless, we believe that it is sufficient for any that has a heart and understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses the truth.

It remains to remind you (King Fahd) of what you and your regime are doing by enforcing these Kuffr (disbelieving, non-Islamic) laws and abrogating Allah's legitimate rulings. The average man, let alone the punctilious researcher will not have to labor long in order to prove that you, as well as your regime, are legislating and enforcing secular laws which you are making binding on the people.

In point of fact, a quick glance at the statutes of commercial courts, and laws that legalize usurious transactions in banks and so forth, as well as at work and workers' law, Saudi Arabia's army's regulations, and similar Kuffr (disbelieving) laws, will underscore the extent to which these Kuffr laws have expanded and taken hold in the country. Further, the Memo of Advice (drawn up by a group of alarmed scholars to recommend the king to enact reforms in the kingdom) mentioned the existence of dozens of legal committees that adjudicate between citizens by means of secular laws, with which you rule the country and the people within, let alone such laws that govern foreign relations abroad.

An example is your submission to the decisions of the committee for conflict resolution between countries of the Gulf Council for Cooperation. Without doubt, this council, headquartered in Saudi Arabia and the main member, is a secular non-Islamic legislative organization. This committee provides in article 9 of its principal charter:

"The committee shall issue its recommendations and rulings in accordance with;

1) The provisions of the main constitution of the Council of Cooperation

2) International law

3) International norms

4) Principles of Islamic law

Its reports with regards to the issue shall then be submitted to the Supreme Council so that the latter may decide that which is appropriate."

What mockery of Allah's religion and what disdain of His Law!!!

You have put the Islamic law only at the very end of the above mentioned list of legislative sources even after the garbage of human thoughts, norms and traditions of the disbelieving nations and the laws of the disbelieving regimes!! Is all this not enough disbelief and straying for you that you finally even subjugated Allah's Law to the condescension of your Supreme Council, which is free to pick and choose which laws to honor at the council's whims and desires?

What do the protectors of religion, guardians of the creed and callers to tawheed (monotheism), say to submission to such committees and courts, O “Servant of Al Haramain”?

The answer, as we have indicated on previous occasions, is so evident that it is comparable to the sun at high noon, admitting no hesitancy, nor stammering, or dodging, or evasiveness, or appeasement. It is clear that Kufr (disbelief) is taking you out of the fold of Islam according to the Noble Book, and the Sunnah and the consensus of the Ummah.

Here are some statements by notable scholars, which speak to these Kufr laws and express the pertinent Islamic ruling:

Sheikh Mohammed Bin Ibrahim, may Allah have mercy upon him, wrote in a letter he sent to Riyadh’s prince at the time concerning the laws of the commercial courts, "We have received a copy titled, the “Charter of the Commercial Court of Saudi Arabia”, upon perusing half of which we have found it consisted of non-Islamic secular illegal systems.... The implementation of any of these (non-Islamic) laws, however trifling, is undoubtedly tantamount to displeasure with the judgment of Allah and His Prophet....and that is clear Kufr which takes one outside the realm of the Islamic Ummah.'' Excerpted from the Fatawa (Islamic decrees) of the Sheikh. 12/251.

The Sheikh, may Allah have mercy upon him, in a letter he addressed to the chair of the Supreme Court in Riyadh regarding the rules and regulations issued by the Office of Work and Workers, and the duty of Islamic courts with respect to that office, says, "From Mohammed Bin Ibrahim to his Excellency, chair of the Supreme Council in Riyadh.

Assalamu Alaykum wa rahmatu Allah, We have received your memo on the transactions that we get from the Office of Work and Workers. The appropriate procedures in this case fall into two categories:

1) As to that transaction which is referred to the court for deliberation and finalization, the court should take it up, as that is the core of its mission.

2) As for that transaction which is submitted for mere approval and afterwards to be returned to the Office of Work for finalization through directives from this office, which are unjustifiable by what Allah sent down, it is the duty of the court to ignore them. If else, then such action will be regarded as approval, nay complicity in ruling that which Allah has stripped of any authority." 10/23/H1379 Excerpted from the Fatawa (Islamic decrees) of the Sheikh 12/251.

Also on the issue of the Charter of Work and Workers Supreme Justice Abdallah Bin Hamid, may Allah have mercy upon him, wrote that referral to the laws of the charter is Kuffr (disbelief) which places one outside the pale of Islam.

The aforementioned Fatawa (Islamic decrees) prove the existence of such laws as well as express the Islamic rulings as to them. Hence, we need not elaborate further as the matter is clear and evident.

It is also known that there is a clear difference between those who commit such kabair (aggravated offences in Islamic) as usury, all the while believing it prohibited, and those that legislate laws that give license to indulge in all types of kabair. One who engages in usury, though admitting it is prohibited, is a perpetrator of one of the most egregious kabair, from which we seek protection in Allah, whereas one who legislates and passes laws that sanction usury is an apostate disbeliever. We need only point to the towers of usurious banks that crowd the minarets of the Noble Al Haramain, and that put into execution your (Fahd's) secular rulings.

The statement of Allah Most High,

asserts that he is a disbeliever who does not resign to His law in complete surrender and submission. Allah stresses this fact using various syntaxes expressive of emphasis, foremost of which is an oath on His exalted and majestic name. This verse along with the explanation by the Prophet (pbuh) to Adyy Ibn Hatim of the verse:

clears away any misconception and washes away any ground a dissenter may stand on.

There is not a more striking example in your foreign policy than your partnership to the interests of Western and crusading (i.e. Christian militant) countries and Taghoutic (disbelieving, Kaffir, overbearing, polytheist...) regimes in the Muslim World. The verification of this truth does not need a great deal of labor as everyone realizes the extent of these affiliations. In point of fact, while your regime crows over protecting the creed and serving Al Haramain, it declared in 1991 payment of 4 billion dollars to the ex-Soviet Union which at the time had not even washed its hands of the blood of the Muslim people of Afghanistan.
