Posted text: “The so-called ‘Abraham Accords’ or ‘Ibrahim Accords’ (i.e., Israel’s peace agreements with Arab states; see note below), which ‘Israel’ has signed with a number of Arab states under American auspices as cover for political normalization, contradicts the Quranic verse: ‘Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists’ [Quran 3:67, Sahih International translation]. Allah’s words are true, and their alleged agreement is a lie.
Abraham, Allah’s friend, peace be upon him, is the father of the prophets and he has only one religion, which is Islam, and this is according to the explicit statement of the blessed Quran. Is it this alleged agreement’s intent that we relinquish our faith in this truth, and that we invent a new religion called ‘the Abrahamic religion’?
Using the name of Allah’s prophet Abraham to justify and pass a political agreement cannot give this agreement the legitimacy it is lacking. [The agreement] also exposes the shame of those who want to use the steadfast holy person as cover for their interests.”
Mahmoud Al-Habbash also serves as Chairman of the Supreme Council for Shari'ah Justice. In August 2019 PA Chairman Abbas dismissed all his advisors by Presidential decree. It is unclear what their status is today.
