In the name of Allah the most beneficent the most merciful
To our brothers and son the believers in every part of the world
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
We inform you that our son Sayed Abbas Al-Khoei it’s been some time that he has been tricked by Shaytan (la) and has chosen the path that Allah is not pleased with. And we warned him of obeying Shaytan and that at the end he will lose but the warning was useless and he followed the path of Shaytan and disobeying Allah and disobeying his father to the point that I disowned him and Shaytan took control over him and he forgot Allah.
And we were informed recently about some of his statements and letters and publications in his handwriting in which he accused and slandered innocent people who we trust fully. This shocked us and contradicts the manners and religion and is not allowed and I wouldn’t be surprised if in future he commits bigger sins than the ones he has committed till today and I ask for him to be guided to the right path.
And therefore I want to announce my sorrow and great regret for his sins and that I will not be responsible what so ever for his works, actions and sayings and we shall leave it to Allah.
And he should repent from his sins to Allah and ask for forgiveness from those he has accused and slandered before Allah’s anger and wrath captures him when he will be a loser.
At the end i would like to ask my brothers and my sons the believers to inform their brothers of this letter and ask Allah for their success in every good. Salams to all our brothers and believers wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

Like I said before "the problem is that people can not take the fact that a cleric can also do business and be a businessman. If he is rich then he must be stealing!". I am afraid i cant give details about his business.
Wasnt Muhammad Al Fayed selling lemonade on the streets of Cairo in his childhood and now he owns Harrods, one the biggest and most expensive shops in London. Did he use the mawqoofat of Sayed Al-Khoei too?!
Furthermore Al-Khoei Foundation was supervised by Sayed Al-Khoei himself and now Sayed Al-Sistani as well as its 7 trustees (who were appointed by Sayed Al-Khoei but since then a few changes have been made) who hold up meetings with the general secretary on regular basis. For example if any of the properties of the foundation was to be sold the contract has to be signed by atleast 3 of these trustees. So over all stealing from Al-Khoei Foundation is not as easy as it may sound.
I believe I have said all i should have said on this forum. The rumours have been going on from the time of Sayed Al-Khoei and will go on for ever.
---------
What he had done is between himself and his Lord. He is a mujtahid and hence doesnt follow anyone so the brother quoting Sayed Sistani was irrelevant. Speaking in terms of rulings of Islam, many maraji3 believe that non-Muslims can never own anything of their own. So even if you steal from them you are taking a good which has no owner. However those who say that you can not do fraud or such things is mainly because that if you get cought there is a possibility that a bad image of Islam is reflected in the west. So as i said what he has done is between himself and his Lord but please also note that Sayed Fadhil Al-Milani till this day is the representative of some of our well known maraji3 such as Shaikh Vahid Al-Khorasani and Sayed Al-Sistani. Also Sayed Fadhil Al-Milani was one the first trustees of Al-Khoei Foundation appointed by Sayed Al-Khoei.
I wouldnt deny that he was close to the Shah's regime and hence he was meant to be executed by Shaikh Sadiq Khalkhai (aka hanging judge) but the guy is actually knowledgeable and is in charge of the library at Al-Khoei Foundation. Also during Muharram he holds majalises for mainly the supporters of Shah who you could see only once a year in these majalises. This was even praised by Shaikh Moezzi the representative of Sayed Khamenei.
wallahu a3lam
----------
UK is an Islamic State?! What a joke! If you want further information on this you can probably check the "taqreerat" of the lessons of maraji3 and i am sure you will find something.
I guess then you can even blame the maraji3 for still allowing him to be their representative?! Can't you? So its not only Al-Khoei Foundation but Sayed Sistani, Shaikh Vahid Khorasani and .....
First of all he was not an enemy of Sayed Khomeini and if he wasnt on Khalkhali's execution list i doubt that he would have ever left Iran.
Second of all on the day of judgement I believe Allah will judge you based on your religion not if you were a friend or an enemy of Iran or Sayed Khomeini. Sayed Shariat Madari was an Ayatullah who saved Sayed Khomeini's life at the time of Shah by signing a letter saying he is a mujtahid. But look what happened to him after the revolution? He was abused by the iranian regime, his son had to run away from Iran and the Sayed himself died under house arrest in Qom. Even Sayed Golpayegani probably the most knowledgeable marja3 in Iran at the time wrote a very harsh letter to Sayed Khomeini on the death of Sayed Shariat madari and blamed Sayed Khomeini for his actions and many other things. So you are telling me Sayed Shriat Madari gives a bad image of Islam and will go to hell?!!!
Finally as i said before the Shaikh was even praised and encouraged by Shaikh Moezzi the representative of Iran and Sayed Khamenei in UK.

Shariat Madari made Imam Khomaini a mujtahid because the Shah had issued an execution order against Imam Khomaini which he couldn't reverse. He didn't want to make a Shahid out of Imam Khomaini like what was done to Sayyid Nawab Safawi (qs) so the Shah went to Shariat Madari for help. Shariat Madari said he'll make Imam Khomaini a Mujtahid to work the loophole and save the Shah. You can read more about it here http://www.shiachat.com/forum/index.php?s=...t&p=1695424
Shariat Madari has no right islamicly to make a person a Mujtahid if the person isn't at that level. You can't just dish out ijtihad when ever you feel like it.
Secondly, Shariat Madari wasn't doing it as a favor for Imam Khomeini, he was doing it to save the Shah's backside.
Imam Khomeini didn't need anyone to save his life. To him martyrdom would have been a blessing, his whole life he spoke of it. This business about Shariat Madari saving his life is a load of rubbish.
Are you telling me he didnt want to make a shaheed out of him but he wanted him to do a revolution and kick him out of Iran? Actually he really wanted to kill Sayed Khomeini. Please go and do some research bro. Sayed Khomeini was meant to be executed but the laws of Iran had stated that a mujtahid can never be executed. So the followers of Sayed Khomeini went and started to gather signatures that Sayed Khomeini is a mujtahid. Sayed Golpayegani and Sayed Shariat Madari signed the paper but Ayatullah Khansari who was probably the most knowledgeable and important out of the three refused to sign it. So the signatures of Golpayegani and Shariat Madari saved Sayed Khomeini's life. So according to you Sayed Golpayegani was doing a favour to Shah too!? lool
Please get your facts right next time!
---------
Can you please enlighten us what the problems were?! The period you are talking about was when Sayed M.Taqi Al-Khoei was in charge of Al-Khoei Foundation and there was no problem what so ever.
QUOTE (Abu Hadi @ Dec 20 2008, 10:35 AM) *
The main reason I am leaving the thread open is because I want to give the Al Khoei Foundation some time to make a response.
That is really funny because these accusations have been going on for ages and now you are giving Al-Khoei Foundation a few days to answer these accusations?!
P.S Again, Al-Khoei Foundation stopped collecting khums after the death of Sayed Al-Khoei. Sure they do have the permission to collect it but really who pays?! So thinking that they are still collecting khums and are getting richer second by second is just too funny. If anyone here has ever paid any khums to Al-Khoei Foundation since 1992 i would really appreciate it if they could post their receipts so we know that there are still people who pay khums to Al-Khoei Foundation.
Like I said before these accusations have been going on for ages and will go on for ever and surely this is not the last topic to discuss the accusations against Al-Khoei Foundation. May Allah guide us all and bring the munafiqs and liars to the right path. Today may be Al-Khoei Foundation and Sistani's office (Sayed Jawad Shahrestani), tomorrow will be another marja3. The munafiqs and haters will never sit down quietly doing nothing.
wallahu a3lam
---------
Mashallah 6 pages waste of forum's space.
It is worth to mention that Sayed Abbas Al-Khoei was disowned by his late father Ayatullah Sayed Abulqasim Al-Khoei. This is not the first time such accusations are made by him but they started at the time of Sayed Al-Khoei himself. However it seems to be the first time that the vidoes are put on youtube by wahabbis. Seems some are very interested and would go as far as they can to try to give a bad image of Al-Khoei Foundation and to expose them but its a shame that they didnt bother to do a little research about Sayed Abbas Al-Khoei first. I hope people would have realised by watching the videos that something is not right as there is nobody left who is being accused in that video, taken from Sayed Al-Khoei, his sons, his son-in-laws, Sayed Al-Hakim, Sayed Al-Sistani, Shaikh Al-fayadh, Shaikh Al-Nai'ni, Bahrululoom .... and the list continues with the name of our well known and well respectef ulemas.
Many Accusations have been made here. I didnt even bother to read all 6 pages but to point out a few.
The photo of Sayed Al-Khoei in Imam Khoei Islamic Centre is in the direction of qibla but what hasnt unfortunately been said is that there is a black cover above the photo that covers the photo whenever the prayers are held. Even any normal person can bring down the cover and start praying. Also i wouldnt think one would die to keep his eyes on his turba (as recommended) and pray.
None of the sons of Sayed Al-Khoei or his relatives worked for any parts of the government taken from Iraqi Air Force to any other organisation and department. It is indeed interesting to know that his youngest son and his son in law were taken by the Ba'ath regime during the 1991 intifadha and never returned. Sayed M.Taqi Al-Khoei was also killed in 1994 in a supposedly car accident on his way back from Karbala to Najaf. The assassination was planned and directed by Qusay (Saddam's younger son) personally.
People speak of Al-Khoei Foundation stealing khums. It is to know that till Sayed Al-Khoei was alive all the money was handled and directed by him and after his death people could not give Al-Khoei Foundation any more Khums as Sayed Khoei had passed away. Obviously Al-Khoei Foundation does have permission from other maraji3 such as Sayed Sistani to collect the khums from their followers but when you have two offices of Sayed Sistani in london and more than 5 or 6 individuals who have again permission to collect khums on behalf of the marja3 who do you really think would come and give his khums to Al-Khoei Foundation. It wouldnt be too bad to use our brains.
One of the brothers estimated the number of the students in Al-Sadiq and Al-Zahra to be 250 which is actually 450. It is very interesting to know that the London schools are the only ones that can manage to only pay the salary of the teachers with the money that is given to them by the students. The money of all the bills and the maintenance is paid by Al-Khoei Foundation. Schools in Montreal and New York also have a huge lack of finance every year which is again paid by Al-Khoei Foundation.
Also that the headquarter of Al-Khoei Foundation was never in Najaf and previously was in New York however then the London centre was bought in 1989 and since then the headquarter has been in London. Please note that Sayed Al-Khoei passed away in 1992.
One last thing it is worth to mention is that the son of Sayed Abbas Al-Khoei's own son has been working with Al-Khoei Foundation for more than 15 years. I think the priority for him should be first to guide his own son to the right path and then try to guide the foundation.
All the other accusations will be welcomed with proof.
Just to finish off with some beautiful ayahs from Al-Munafiqoon
[63:2] Under the guise of their apparent faith, they repel the people from the path of GOD. Miserable indeed is what they do.
[63:4] When you see them, you may be impressed by their looks. And when they speak, you may listen to their eloquence. They are like standing logs. They think that every call is intended against them. These are the real enemies; beware of them. GOD condemns them; they have deviated.
[63:11] GOD never delays the appointed time of death for any soul. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do.
-----
1. First of all I hope you realise the maraji3 dont act as a bank who save up the khums till the reappearance of the Imam. Obviously the money which was collected over the decades of the marja3eeya of Sayed Al-Khoei was also spent on the Muslims and charity over the decades of the marja3eeya of Sayed Al-Khoei. Of course there was some cash left when Sayed Al-Khoei passed away but as he had stated in his will the money was given to the students of the hawza for a few months after his death untill the money was finished.
Second of all who are you to demand for a receipt?! Are you appointed by the Imam or Allah to investigate such issues?! If Sayed Sistani had said that Al-Khoei family have stolen the money I would understand why you would ask such a question but I wonder on what basis you ask such questions. Has the marja3eeya of the Shias become such a joke that every so called "Shia" gives himself the right to poke his nose in everything?!
2. No it is not true. Mulla Asghar was a representative of Sayed Al-Khoei. Shaikh Mehdi Shamsseddin was appointed by Sayed Sistani to supervise the foundation and so did he and then he passed away. After the 2003 war the general secretary met Sayed Sistani in Najaf and Sayed Sistani insisted that he is supervising the foundation and he will do it directly. Plus Sayed Sistani is much closer to the Al-Khoei family and Al-Khoei Foundation than he is to Mulla Asghar or Shaikh Shamsseddin so why send them and not contact directly?! Which all goes to show the credibility of the romours some are spreading!
3. The project was never completed and has been stopped till today due to lack of finance to finish the project. I am not exactly aware how much was spent but even if i was why exactly do i have to tell you? Are the supreme leader or marja3 a3laa or something?! And i guess from the first line you can figure out that there was no money left to hand over to the marja3.
4. First of all refer to the story of Mohammed Al-Fayed. Second of all how immediately is "immediately". I would be more than happy to send you a calender and help you to count the days. Third of all both Sayed M.Taqi and Sayed Abdul Majid Al-Khoei had started their business since they were in Najaf.
5. What treasure?! Like i said before Al-Khoei Foundation doesnt act like a bank. Just like they recieve money they also spend money so what treasure are you after exactly?!
6. Yes it is absolutely true that he wore the turban on the day that Sayed Abdul Majid Al-Khoei was martyred. However he had studied in hawza while he was in Najaf and many times Sayed Al-Khoei insisted in many different ways and on many different occasions for him to wear the turban, once he even offered him his library, but he didnt want to take such a big responsibility by wearing a turban so refused to wear it. After the martyrdom of Sayed Abdul Majid Al-Khoei due to certain situations many of the ulema of Qom as well as representatives of Sayed Sistani believed that it was his responsibility to wear the turban and take over. So Ayatullah Kokabi one of the students of Sayed Al-Khoei wore him the turban. Furthermore during a few visits he later had to Najaf he asked Sayed Sistani to appoint another person to take over and take away the responsibility from him as the Sayed is the mujtahid and supervisor over the foundation but Sayed Sistani refused to do so and insisted on him taking control.
7. Notice Sayed Al-Khoei in his letter says "he accused and slandered innocent people who we trust fully ..... I wouldn’t be surprised if in future he commits bigger sins than the ones he has committed till today". Also notice what bro Al-Mufeed said and if you still wish to rely on such a person by all means do so and I am not saying if he is lying or saying the truth but i encourage both you and him to bring evidence for your claims.
8. No it is not true but even if it was then so what?! Were the uncles of the prophet not kafirs? What does that prove? Was not the son of prophet Nooh a kafir?! Does that mean there was something wrong with prophet Nooh or there was corruption? Wasnt the wife of Imam Saidq a kafir and killed the Imam?! Does that mean the Imam wasnt actually an Imam or there was corruption?!
9. Who are you to judge if they have democracy or not?! And just for the sake of it lets say they dont, how does that concern you?! Again are you appointed by our Imam? Dont we have a marja3eeya who is more capable than some fresh minded so called Shias to take care of such matters?!
10. Yes there is no corruption. You believe other wise please bring your proof and we shall discuss. Or even better take your proof to Sayed Sistani and let him deal with the foundation as it is appropiate.
11. What is wrong with being an OBE?! Is it haram or something?! I knew people could be narrow minded but not to this level! Like i have said before he has been in charge of the public relations department of Al-Khoei Foundation for more than 15 years and alhamdulillah he has managed to achieve alot for the Shia community in UK which has made things much easier for us to live in this country. If it wasnt for many of his works the government wouldnt even have recognised Shias as part of the Muslims and would have let Sunnis to decide on our behalf too. But its a shame some dont deserve any of this!

Salaam Alykum,
Why not post the ijaza of wakalat from these Maraji'? It is interesting to note that this claim that Sayyid Milani is the representative of Ayatollah Sistani and Ayatollah Waheed Khorasani has always been asserted by the members of the Al Khui Foundation. I have never found any proof of this from Sayyid Milani himself nor he himself has ever claimed this in any gathering or events.
Another interesting point to note here is that according to Najafi it is all good and well that what Sayyid Milani does is between him and God because of his level as a mujtahid but when another mujtahid does something which is questionable then he is dragged through mud. It is like the pot calling the kettle black.
Regarding the "taqreerat" issue raised, if a person according to you is the representative of Ayatollah Sistani then one has to question how aloof is he of the rulings of the maraji he is the representative of? Does Ayatollah Sistani not indicate that the laws of the country in which one resides be obeyed? And this ruling is not just exclusive to Ayatollah Sistani but many other maraji' too.
Karbala110
-------
So it is Al-Khoei Foundation who says Sayed Milani is a representative of Sayed Sistani and Shaikh Khorasani and the Sayed has never claimed such a thing?! Well have a look at his own website:
"is currently authorised on behalf of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Sistani" http://www.almilani.com/eng/doc/bio.htm
Also regarding Shaikh Vahid Khorasani, when I asked him if there are any representatives of the Shaikh in London, he said he represents the Shaikh. If you have any further questions please contact Sayed Milani and see what he says.
May His almighty forgive you for the accusations and providing false information. And like the brother above get your facts right next time!
What Sayed Milani has done doesnt affect us directly but another so called mujtahid trying to play with Shia beliefs does affect us so obviously i wouldnt sit down quietly and let them ruin our religion.
Yes Sayed Sistani does state so but i hope you already know the fact that once you become a mujtahid you stop following others and act according to yourself and your own decisions. So your point is invalid!
It was mentioned in a visit to Al-Khoei Foundation during Muharram about two years ago. Feel free to contact Shaikh Moezzi for the sake "credibility".

Well they are not all like each other. Just like the example you gave yourself you could have a father who is a prophet and a son who goes against his father. His son is head of the public relations of Al-Khoei Foundation and as a matter of fact he has achieved so much for the Shia community and has raised the Shia's voices to the government.
You seem to have misunderstood me. I never said it is wajib to guide your son but I said his son should be the priority to the foundation, other family members and other families.
Sayed Abbas was disowned by Sayed Abulqasim Al-Khoei himself. The draft was first written by Sayed Murtadha Al-Nakshawani and after a few changes made by Sayed Al-Khoei the letter was published and distributed. The letter has the signature and the stamp of Sayed Al-Khoei and further more to avoid any excuses made in the future Sayed Al-Khoei even approved the letter in the court of Najaf.
Regarding Qawari i personally think he is exaggerating. When he is not the representative of Sayed Al-Khoei what does he expect the office of Al-Khoei to say? That he is the representative?!

Actually this majlis was done after the Muharram majalises. Among the ones who were present it was Bassim, Najafis (Mawkeb Al Najaf Al Ashraf), Karbalaeis (Hussainiya Al Rassool Al Adham), Kurds (Mawkeb Akrad Al Fayleeya) as well as some other ulemas and radoods such as Muhammed Al Qal3awi and of course the members of Al-Khoei Foundation who were the host.
It was lunch actually. It was cooked in the kitchen of Imam Khoei Islamic Centre so dont worry it wasnt broght from a 5 star hotel so i doubt it would have costed much and i guess the expenses are categorised as the costs of the Centre.
I wouldnt deny that he was close to the Shah's regime and hence he was meant to be executed by Shaikh Sadiq Khalkhai (aka hanging judge) but the guy is actually knowledgeable and is in charge of the library at Al-Khoei Foundation. Also during Muharram he holds majalises for mainly the supporters of Shah who you could see only once a year in these majalises. This was even praised by Shaikh Moezzi the representative of Sayed Khamenei.
The house costed much less than a million and was bought more than a year before the murder of Sayed Abdul Majid but he actually moved in a few months after the murder of Sayed Abdul Majid. As Imam Ali says "the difference between truth (haq) and false (batil) is only four fingers. Hinting about what you see and what you hear.
-------
If I am not mistaken this figure was given by Hayder Al-Khoei his son and he says the money came from his personal wealth not from Al-Khoei Foundation or CIA or .....
He was diowned because of the same accusations he used to make then at the time of Sayed Al-Khoei. Sayed Al-Khoei tried to guide him directly and through other family members but unfortunately he did not succeed so he disowned Sayed Abbas to show that whatever is said by Sayed Abbas has nothing to do with Sayed Al-Khoei as many people had already started complaining to Sayed Al-Khoei. Well I am not too sure what he gains from this or maybe he doesnt gain anything but there are others who gain alot. For example as you can see these videos have been uploaded on youtube by wahabbis.
Or for example the people who have made these videos are the followers of Muqtada Al-Sadr so obviously when Sayed Abbas says he likes Muqtada and calls him brave while the rest of the members of the Khoei family all balme Muqtada for the death of Sayed Abdul Majid, surely someone is going to benefit from these videos.
Unfortunately this is not the first time that Al-Manar has tried to attack Sayed Al-Khoei and his office directly or indirectly. To be honest i am not well aware of the story but all it seems to me is that a group of people asked if Qawari is Sayed Al-Khoei's representative so in reply Al-Khoei's office said he is not with the knowledge of Sayed Al-Khoei about this or not the fact that he still wasnt the representative of Al-Khoei stays the same therefore the right answer was given. And by all means i really dont think the answer from Al-Khoei's office was to ruin Qawari's reputation or something but it was simply to answer the question. If they wanted to ruin his reputation they could easily issue a letter like the ones that Sayed Al-Khoei issued for Sayed Muhammed Al-Shirazi and Hassan Al-Saffar.
Again i am not too sure but i wouldnt be surprised if he had. The hawza of Najaf before Saddam had always tried to keep good relations with the government just incase they would need them one day. For example i know once Sayed Al-Khoei sent a delegation to Baghdad to negotiate some issues with the government or Baghdad used to send delegations to Najaf to meet Sayed Mohsen Al-Hakim (father of Sayed Baqir and Sayed Abdul Aziz) and other teachers at the hawza.
What he had done is between himself and his Lord. He is a mujtahid and hence doesnt follow anyone so the brother quoting Sayed Sistani was irrelevant. Speaking in terms of rulings of Islam, many maraji3 believe that non-Muslims can never own anything of their own. So even if you steal from them you are taking a good which has no owner. However those who say that you can not do fraud or such things is mainly because that if you get cought there is a possibility that a bad image of Islam is reflected in the west. So as i said what he has done is between himself and his Lord but please also note that Sayed Fadhil Al-Milani till this day is the representative of some of our well known maraji3 such as Shaikh Vahid Al-Khorasani and Sayed Al-Sistani. Also Sayed Fadhil Al-Milani was one the first trustees of Al-Khoei Foundation appointed by Sayed Al-Khoei.
I have no clue why Hayder has stated that on his blog but maybe you can ask him and probably ask for the name of the person too.
----------
Replaced by you and your clan who work with the label of Ummah but fill their own pockets. Is it not surprising that even in this thread you have labelled Abbas Khui as a liar and made him out to be disowned without ever refuting his statements? Why do you not try to refute his claims? Remember the man was in the set up and left because of this corruption. If you wish to really post something then do address and refute his statements. There is no point in posting conjecture and going off topic.

I pray this message finds you well.
Would you be so good as to answer these questions; it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
1. Did the Khoei family hand over the sum value of the Muslim treasury that was collected over the decades of the Marjayeh of Syed Al-Khoei to the next Marja? If so, can you provide some transparency as to the amount and a receipt from the Office of the Marja who received this money?
2. Is it true that Syed Sistani sent people (like Shaykh Shamseddine and Mulla Asgher) to resolve the issue of the Muslim treasury but to no avail?
3. What happened to the money invested in the Educational Charitable Complex in Bombay. The project that was never completed. How much was invested? Did the representative of Syed Al-Khoei in India, Syed Mohammed Al-Musawi have authorisation to deal in these finances and did he return them to the living Marja?
4. You say that clerics can do business. This statement is made to lead us to believe that the Khoei family is wealthy through business. You refuse to detail what these businesses are and where the money came from. Logic would dictate having $700,000 at hand for expenses whilst travelling to Iraq is a very extravagant sum. I'm sure you would understand if many people become suspicious that a family of a materially 'poor' marja arrive to the shores of the UK, and immediately live in luxury homes, drive luxury cars and have the financial power to withdraw $700,000. The question is, are you really trying to tell us that the Khoei family became abundantly rich through private businesses with absolutely no relation to the Khoei Foundation or the fact that their father was in charge of the Muslim Treasury?
5. If the above is true and the financial power of the Khoei family is purely through their own private businesses, one begs the question where is the Muslim treasury? The Khoei Foundation has a Treasurer, can he not show us where this money went? Why is there no transparency on this issue?
6. Is it true that your esteemed father was not a cleric wearing a turban the day before Abdul Majeed Al-Khoei was killed? Is it true that he became a cleric in order to take over as secretary general of the Khoei Foundation which constitutionally only allows the eldest cleric of the Khoei family to hold this position?
7. You have provided a statement from Syed Abdul Qasim Al-Khoei suggesting he has disowned his son Abbas Al-Khoei. This, however, does not mean that everything he says is false. He may very well be telling the truth on numerous points. Do you think he is lying about every allegation he has made?
8. Does Syed Abdul Qasim Al-Khoei have a Christian brother?
9. Why does Khoei Foundation not have any democracy when it is a proponent of such when it comes to spreading Western democracy in the East?
10. Do you believe there is absolutely no corruption taking place in the Khoei Foundation?
11. A further point to add is that Yousef Al-Khoei, son of Abbas Al-Khoei, was on the Queen's honour list and was given an OBE (Order of the British Empire). This is a British order of chivalry established on 4 June 1917 by King George V. The Order is given to those in the civil and military divisions.
Perhaps, when Abbas Al-Khoei says the following:
- There are Ulama who don't pay attention to their children and as a result, their children become corrupt.
... He is referring to himself?
Thank you for your time.

Picture from the British Parliament's Eid Reception 2008. In the picure are a group of women invited by the Khoei Foundation to dine with the Sultans of power. The politician in the middle remains unidentifiable to myself but this picture demonstrates our humiliating state such that taking pictures with any 'white politian' is important to us in order to show our level of integration.

Picture from Tony Blair's visit to the Khoei Foundation 2008. In the Picture: Tony Blair, Ali Mashkour, Yousef Al-Khoei, Ahsan Abbas, Amir Abbas and Ali Hilmi can be identified.
Perhaps, when Abbas Al-Khoei says the following:
- There are Ulama who don't pay attention to their children and as a result, their children become corrupt.
... He is referring to himself?
O Shia of Ali, this is taking place in YOUR name. This foundation dines with the oppressors of our age in the name of Shia Islam and in the name of Sayyed Al-Khoei and the Marjayyiah.
As promised in an earlier post, more evidence of the corruption in the Khoei Office and Foundation is being presented to you. This time it is a short clip taken from Dar Al-Manar's production 'Shahid Al-Iraq'. Please see the video and the transcript translated into English below it.

QUOTE
The activities of Shahid Sader were not destined for newfound success under the Marjayyeh of Syed Al-Khoei, as some of those working in the aparatus of Syed Al-Khoei worked against what was previously agreed on and hence taking the marjayyeh of Syed Al-Khoei in a another direction, different to that of Syed Mohsin Al-Hakeem before him.
One of the outcomes of this change that upset Shahid Sader was a statement from the office of Syed Al-Khoei against Syed Al-Gharawi who was close to him and who was assigned as a representative to the marjayyeh in one of the Iraqi towns in association with Syed Al-Khoei. His representative status was stripped away from him with the following simple statement: 'Syed Mohamed Al-Gharawi is not our representative'. This took place due to a claim from some of Al-Khoei's associates accusing Syed Al-Gharawi of collecting Islamic finances in the name of Al-Khoei and giving it to Shahid Al-Sader instead.
Syed Mohamed Ghawari:
I sat nearby Syed Al-Khoei and I asked him 'Syedna, the person who goes for tabligh in the month of Ramadan, should he be given praise or hostility?' Syed Al-Khoei replied 'No, he should be given praise.' So I responded, 'When I went, why did you say that Syed Mohamed is not trustworthy and of good character?' The Syed replied 'I did not say that'. I said, 'That is right but people did not study logic to understand this, it is accustom that when you say Sayed Mohamed is not our representative, it means he is a person of corruption, a liar and so on.' Syed Khoei [May Allah be pleased with him] became sad and said 'By your Grandmother Al-Zahra, it did not come from me.' When Syed Al-Khoei said this I became sad too, our teacher, an elderly man, a marja, I may have upset him, why did I bring this up. In addition to this Syed Al-Khoei was known to be someone who would tell stories and jokes, he started telling me stories trying to make me laugh so that I may let go of this hurt. I then kissed his hand and left.
On the 23 December 1971, the Ba'athis warned more than 1000 Iranian families living in Iraq to migrate to Iran. This issue placed the hawza in a state of tension and chaos. It is said that the apparatus of Syed Al-Khoei encouraged the foreign students to migrate and leave Iraq, and began giving them money for this purpose.
After the Iraq regime announced its plans to exile Iranian students, Imam Khomeini gave a speech at the Masjid Al-Ansari bidding farewell to those present, who were around 2000 in number, announcing his plans to leave for Lebanon. Imam Khomeini also issued a message to Ahmad Hassan Al-Bakr wanring him not to continue with his policy of exiling.
To make this statement false, the Iraqi authorities issued the following question to Syed Al-Khoei on the 25 December 1971:
To the Highest Religious Authority, Al-Syed Abdul Qassim Al-Khoei,
Sallamu Alaykum Warehmat Allah Waberakatuh,
Have you witnessed from the Baath Government in Iraq what opposed religion or humanity in regards to your respected self or to the Hawza of knowledge or to the Iranians. There are some who say that the government is treating them badly. Provide us a fatwa, and may you be rewarded.
Reply from Syed Khoei Office:
In His Name the High
Greetings
As for myself, I have not witnessed from the esteemed government except that which is good. As for the Hawza of knowledge and the Iranians, I have heard from some trustworthy people that the government treats them well.
Allah is the Master of success.
Wasallamu Alaykum Warahmet Allah.
(Sealed and dated)
After examing the above video footage, there are 2 important points to underline.
1. Syed Al-Khoei swears by Al-Zahra as.gif that the statements being made are not from him.
2. Syed Al-Khoei's Office had official correspondences with the Baath regime in which the Marjayyeh is seen as supportive of the Baath.
We need to ask the question, if the Syed himself is stating that there are occurrences taking place not in his name, would it not be possible that these people using his name are forming alliance with the Baathi regime? And if that is so, does this fall in line with Abbas Al-Khoei's statements that his brother Taqi was an informant for Saddam?
Beware O followers of Ali, for we are in dangerous times.
I seek forgiveness and refuge from Allah. All praise be to Him.
Wassalamu Alaykum Warahmetullah

Sallamu Alaykum Warahmetullah Wabarekatuh.
It is evident of reading 5 pages of discussion, that some of you are suspicious as to the intentions behind the initial post and have raised valid questions. It is also evident that some of you have taken the points mentioned with a level of seriousness which is appreciated.
There are some points to mention:
1. This is a very serious matter that requires the maturity of all because it entails very sensitive details concerning real people and real institutions.
2. This matter is not personal nor is it subjected in the interest of a particular organisation against another. If the daylight robbery taking place was being undertaken in the name of commercial trade, wholesale industry, secular politics, or anything else; there would not be this reaction. The problem is this corruption goes on in the name of Shia Islam, and it is our duty to say enough is enough.
3. Please note that the imposters within our community who work for the interest of others are not restricted to the Khoei Foundation and family. There are other culprits who in time must also face scrutiny for operating in the name of us all without consent.
4. Data available to the public through the Charity Commission is only that which is declared in the name of the organisation. There is no public data on the assets of the Secretary General (Abdul Saheb Al-Khoei), Director (Yousef Al-Khoei), Treasurer (Mohsin Khalkhali), Imam (Fadel Milani), Religious Affairs Officer (Salah Bilal) and the assets that other family members have including Jawad Al-Khoei (son of Taqi Al-Khoei) and Hayder Al-Khoei (son of Majid Al-Khoei). Sadly, these different assets are not linked to the Khoei Foundation directly and given transparency through the Charity Commission in UK.
5. It is apparent that not everyone is convinced that there is corruption taking place even though overwhelming evidence was presenting through the words of the eldest son of Syed Abdul Qassim Al-Khoei. These people will require more evidence, and with the permission of Allah, more will be coming. However, we must take this matter with utmost seriousness and deal with it wisely. This is the real test for us all. Once evidence is brought forward, we must investigate it, and when we conclude there is corruption, we must decide whether we will make a difference in the face of this corruption or sit back and allow it to continue.
6. There are some who unwittingly try to derail efforts to purify the Shia institution by mentioning the Islamic revolution and government in a bad light. O sons of Ali, O daughters of Zahra, do not allow the enemy to divide us. Do not allow the enemy to polarise us into camps. Do not allow the enemy to distract us from the real problems. The enemy has always tried to divide us, in order for us to battle between ourselves, such that we will remain in our sleep, while our financial power is usurped from under our nose.
Beware O followers of Ali, for we are in dangerous times.
I seek forgiveness and refuge from Allah. All praise be to Him.

Rabbi-'shrah li sadri wa yassirli amri wa-hlul 'uqdatan min lisani yafqahu qawli.
"O My Lord! expand my breast for me. And ease my task for me; and loose a knot from my tongue, (That) they may understand my saying. (20:25-2)
The expansion of the Crusader in the hearts and minds of the Muslim cannot be undertaken without zealots who act as pawns for the interest of the Great Satan. It is sad that we witness the enemies closing in on the Shia community by working from within. They have infiltrated our instituions and centres of influence, and from there, they have made a podium that works for the interest of the West.
It is high time, we realise this danger and openly work towards erradicated the sellouts from our community. We must first reveal the sources of this danger.
Enclosed with this message is footage of Abbas Al-Khoei, eldest son of Sayyed Abdul Qassim Al-Khoei, and father of Yousef Al-Khoei [Director of Khoei Foundation in London] revealing some truths about the operations of the Office and Foundation of Sayyed Abdul Qassim Al-Khoei.

For the non-Arab viewer, below are some highlights from the thoughts of Abbas Al-Khoei:
- There is a lot of corruption in the Shia institutes.
- There are incapable people in positions not suitable for themselves.
- Anyone can wear a turbans and as such it can be worn by corrupt people.
- The British made sure the Shia institutions remain in their slumber. They installed puppet scholars and made them important.
- The important Ulama were sidelined, and the unsuitable people were made into Maraja. This took place from 1917 until the 1940's [During the reign of the British backed Kingdom].
- There are brothers of Maraja who couldn't stand this corruption and later became Christians [i.e Sayyed Abdul Qassim Al-Khoei's brother in Beirut].
- There are Ulama who don't pay attention to their children and as a result, their children become corrupt.
- There are many sons of Haram who wear turbans.
- Our family history is very bad because our father dedicated his time to one science and many things were hidden from him. When they brought Sayyed Abul Qassim to the Marja'iyyah, they used his name for their corruption.
- During this time, money was stolen and false fatwas were issued, and they worked with the corrupt rulers. They made ties with the Americans in the name of the Marja.
- Corruption took place in the home of my father and until today some of his sons remain corrupt.
- Anyone who discusses this matter is labelled insane. They say I am against my parents and mad.
- If someone became corrupt, called himself a Marja and worked with Saddam, with the Shah, the Americans and the British; we cannot remain quiet.
- I like Muqtada Sadr, although I have never met him, because he is a person of action, bravery, sacrifice. So many wanted me to make a stance against him, but I refused.
- If my brother, son or cousin is corrupt, I must say so, even if they call me insane as a result.
- Anyone who speaks the truth in those days was called a Ba'thi, nationalist, communist and the Ba'this then came along and killed him.
- Many people were at war with my father, because they didn't want to see him reform the problems. Of those people is the father of [previous] Imam of Khoei Foundation in London, Sayyed Ali Khalkhali, and his sons, who used to say Sayyed Al-Khoei was not a Sayyed.
- Mohsin Khalkhali, who was previously against my father, is currently the treasurer of the Khoei Foundation and they say he is worth $70 million. He went to Iran and was arrested in the airport on charges of fruad, he then paid $1 million to someone of influence who helped in his release.
- Sayyed Taqi Al-Khoei was an informant to Saddam and was the person who appointed Sayyed Sistani to the Marjaiyyah.
- Sayyed Jamal Khoei was friends with a cleric called Bulbuli who was a Ba'thi who cried for Saddam and famously used to chant 'There is no God but Allah, Khomeini is the Enemy of Allah.'
- Some of the associates of the office of Sayyed Al-Khoei are today millionaires from the money they stole.
- Saddam killed my brother Sayyed Taqi Khoei because Taqi became too close to the British and Saddam didn't want others becoming close to the Western powers.
- When my father was going to the operation theatre, he said only 45,000 dinars are for the heridatry. But when he died, many houses and money was lost to different people in the family and extended family.
This is just a short sample of the many things said by Abbas Khoei in these videos. In the case that we assume he is not telling the truth, is it wise to assume everything said is untrue?

In the UK, for example in 1992 following the demise of Ayatollah Sayed Abul Qasim al-Khoei certain very serious allegations were made against Sayed Taqi and Syed Majid al-Khoei. The family and foundation were accused of withholding the will of the marja and keeping the hundreds of millions of khums that had been collected by the marja. For years the shia communities were not told of the will’s details or what happened to the monies. However a number of years passed and some of the monies were returned with the rest remaining still unaccounted.
Allegations were rife and claims ranged upto 1 billion dollars of khums money had been ‘stolen’. The following allegations were made:
• At the death of al-Khoei the sons’ transferred their HQ from Najaf to London;
• The khoei foundation purposefully held back the will and therefore his instructions were not actioned in relation to the transfer of khums;
• 750 million dollars were taken;
• 100 million dollars were confiscated by the Saudi government due to deposits in Saudi banks;
• That much of the money was used to invest in large tea plantations; in Asia, Africa possibly Congo;
• It was alleged that they were a major investor in sky tv and supermarkets.
Despite these allegations there is lack of sufficient physical evidence as regards what companies they used and how they managed to invest funds and which investment funds they still have.

Dr. Sachedina who was condemned by Ayatullah Sistani and Golpaygani (ha). Even Sachedina went to Syed Sistani (ha) for forgiveness yet he did not receive it. Why are these representatives of Ayatullah Sistani (ha) with this man also?
