Background:
Recently, Haqiqatjou has called out others for insulting him and calling him names, rightfully so. In this tweet, Daniel Haqiqatjou refers to a Twitter user, MJ (@morganisawizard), as a “prostitute” and accuses them of potentially advocating for morally reprehensible actions in the future. The language used is vulgar and degrading, directed at an individual in a public forum.

Haram Action:
Slander and Insults: Referring to someone as a “prostitute” without evidence is buhtan (slander), which Islam forbids as a grave sin:
“And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses—flog them…” (Quran 24:4).
“And speak to people good [words].” (Quran 2:83).

Evidence of Haram:
Slander: Accusing someone without evidence is haram (Quran 24:4).
Vulgar Speech: Islam explicitly forbids obscene and degrading language (Tirmidhi).
Creating Discord: Public insults contradict Islam’s emphasis on unity and constructive dialogue (Quran 2:83).

Accusation: In this tweet, Daniel Haqiqatjou refers to Abdullah al-Rabbat as a “donkey” and calls his comments on Sayyidna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) “filthy,” accusing al-Rabbat of attacking the family of the Prophet ﷺ.

Haram Action: Islam forbids slandering and insulting others, even in the midst of disagreement. Calling another Muslim a “donkey” or using demeaning language like “filthy” contradicts the Islamic values of respect and adab (etiquette) in discourse. This tweet creates unnecessary division and escalates hostility among Muslims.

Evidence of Haram: The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The believer is not a slanderer, nor does he curse others, and he is not vulgar or obscene in speech” (Tirmidhi). By resorting to such offensive language, Haqiqatjou is violating the principles of respectful dialogue, which are essential in maintaining unity and compassion within the ummah.

Impact on the Ummah: Instead of promoting constructive discussion, these words could lead to fitnah (discord) by exacerbating tensions between Muslims. The Quran reminds us: “O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them” (49:11). By publicly insulting another Muslim, Haqiqatjou is damaging the very unity he claims to defend.

Haram Action :

Daniel Haqiqatjou is simply a liar and slanderer. There’s no other way to put it.
1) Yasqueen is mockery and slander of a dawah org called Yaqeen
2) Says Yaqeen launched a campaign to brand him an ignorant liar, ZERO proof of this
3) Calls it a soy article. Just a foul person.

Evidence of Haram:

The Prophet ﷺ said, “I guarantee a house in Jannah for one who gives up arguing, even if he is in the right; and I guarantee a home in the middle of Jannah for one who abandons lying even for the sake of fun; and I guarantee a house in the highest part of Jannah for one who has beautiful manners”

Background

Daniel Haqiqatjou avoids critiquing and slandering his friends Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah for the same issues that he slanders other scholars for. When confronted about it, he moves the goal posts. Hypocrisy.

Haram Action
Double standards of critique, name calling, and slander.

Evidence of Haram

“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.”

“O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one’s] faith. And whoever does not repent – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.”

“O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.”

Background

This is the most recent of dozens of occasions in which Haqiqatjou has mocked and slandered Hasib Noor, calling him a cuck and distorting his name from Hasib to Hasimp. Daniel sees no problem with this behavior, and we ask Allah SWT for refuge from such delusion.

Haram Action

Haqiqatjou mocks Hasib Noor’s name, calling him Hasimp. He also calls him a cuck on other occasions, and a jahil. Of course, these are public haram behaviors, meaning not only must Haqiqatjou make istighfar and seek Hasib’s forgiveness. He must also publish public retractions of his mockery which has now been seen by hundreds of thousands of people across his social media channels. 

Evidence of Haram

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Five sins cannot be expiated: idolatry with Allah, killing a soul without a just case, slandering a believer, fleeing the battlefield, and bearing false witness to consume the wealth of another without right.”

Background

Haqiqatjou published a video titled Is Your Zakat Funding the Most Un-Islamic “Islamic” Graduate School? (Bayan). This Haram Haqiqatjou is not about the vast majority of the content in the video, much of which is exaggerated and slanderous in true Haqiqatjou fashion. Nor is this video about the very real blunders Bayan as an institution engages in. This is merely about Haqiqatjou’s obsession with Omar Suleiman, and his associating him with Bayan despite knowing full well Suleiman had delivered 1 lecture for Bayan in the past 6 years. What’s worse: Daniel plasters Suleiman’s face on the thumbnail, primarily for views, while darkening his face to make him appear more sinister. 

Haram Action

Daniel purposefully slanders Suleiman’s name and image by associating him with Bayan, an Islamic graduate school that has engaged in some questionable actions and associations. He utilizes his face on the YouTube video thumbnail for views and darkens his face for a more sinister appearance. 

Evidence of Haram

Al-Mustawrid reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever eats so much as a morsel at the expense of a Muslim’s reputation, then Allah will feed him the likes of it in Hell. Whoever clothes himself with a garment at the expense of a Muslim’s reputation, then Allah will clothe him with the likes of it in Hell. Whoever stands in a position of repute and fame at the expense of a man, then Allah will make him stand in a position of repute and fame on the Day of Resurrection.”

Background

Haqiqatjou posted slanderous Telegram posts and Twitter tweets accusing figures like Imam Omar Suleiman, Imam Suhaib Webb, and Linda Sarsour of charging exorbitant honorariums, all while mocking them. When confronted about this misinformation and lying, Daniel defended the website he cited. Some may ask: why defend Linda Sarsour given her track record that defends very progressive policies? Our Prophetic tradition is one of character, no matter the circumstance. When someone’s name is lied about, we should make the truth clear. 

After being told that a brother had asked one of the accused, Omar Suleiman, about this issue and Suleiman had rejected this website as a scam website, Haqiqatjou deleted his original tweet. He stated, “if those numbers don’t actually represent the fees of the speakers listed e.g., OS, Webb, Sarsour, etc., then I publicly retract any implication I’ve made otherwise.” 

But, as usual, Haqiqatjou is an insincere liar. The Telegram posts remain LIVE on his Telegram page, Daniel Haqiqatjou Official, and his tweets referencing the now-deleted tweet remain.

Haram Action

Daniel slandered the names of these individuals with this accusation, which like all fitna, garnered hundreds of thousands of views in the time it was online. Since then, he has deleted the original tweet, while keeping up with the original Telegram posts and Tweets that reference the honorarium slander. If Haqiqatjou was sincere and remorseful for this haram, would he not remove any trace of this slander from his profiles?

Evidence of Haram

Al-Mustawrid reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever eats so much as a morsel at the expense of a Muslim’s reputation, then Allah will feed him the likes of it in Hell. Whoever clothes himself with a garment at the expense of a Muslim’s reputation, then Allah will clothe him with the likes of it in Hell. Whoever stands in a position of repute and fame at the expense of a man, then Allah will make him stand in a position of repute and fame on the Day of Resurrection.”

Background

This is the type of language that Haqiqatjou has normalized to his fans, casual slander and mockery of what he terms “compassionate imams”, alluding specifically to scholars like Dr. Yasir Qadhi, Dr. Omar Suleiman, Mufti Menk, Imam Zaid Shakir, and others. Of course, there is not one instance in which any of these figures has said “down with the patriarchy” or “down with toxic masculinity.” Accusing these scholars of feminist indoctrination is slander and haram.

Haram Action

Daniel Haqiqatjou equates listening to one of the above-mentioned scholars at a local masjid, who would presumably be teaching the Quran and Hadith, with watching the Barbie movie at a local theater. He then doubles down on his haram action, alluding to the fact that these Imams are “lying” about being Islamic, meaning by default, they are in fact engaging in “un-Islamic” work within the masjid. Haqiqatjou accuses these imams of hypocrisy, claiming that they say one thing while secretly sabotaging the Muslim community, a horrendous and slanderous claim.

Background

Haqiqatjou has critiqued and attacked Suhaib Webb’s involvement in the dawah scene for many years. In this latest installment, Daniel accuses Webb of promoting the lewd magazine, Playboy, by retweeting an article in which a Muslim female appeared. In a public confrontation at Maryam Masjid in Houston, Texas, Webb did not apologize for his retweet of the Playboy article. However, the next day, Webb released a video on his YouTube channel apologizing for sharing the article, recognizing his mistakes, and requesting Muslims’ forgiveness. 

Haram Action

In a live stream on his Muslim Skeptic YouTube channel a few days after Webb’s public apology, Haqiqatjou lied and slandered Suhaib Webb, claiming repeatedly that Webb has never taken back or apologized for his mistakes. Has Haqiqatjou ever recanted a public mistake? Has Daniel held himself to account for his slander and lies, or does he lack theadab and ethics required to publicly apologize for what the Qur’an terms, “eating the flesh of his Muslim brother.”

Evidence of Haram

What is worse than slander, is continuing your slander after the individual being slandered publicly addresses your accusation.

The Prophet PBUH said: “Be chaste and your women will be chaste; honor your parents and your children will honor you; and if someone apologizes to his Muslim brother for something he heard about him and he does not accept his apology, he will not come to me at the Cistern.”

The Messenger of Allah PBUH said: “If a man makes an excuse to his brother and he does not accept it, he will bear a burden of sin like that of the maks collector [a tax of levy].”

Background

In his infamous “Dark Legacy” video on his Muslim Skeptic YouTube channel, Haqiqatjou claims, amongst several dozen slanderous accusations, that Omar Suleiman believes “allying with LGBT groups is Sunnah”. The video above exposes Haqiqatjou’s claim as a slanderous lie.

Haram Action

Daniel Haqiqatjou: “Omar Suleiman claims that allying with these groups politically is Sunnah” 

Omar Suleiman: “Of course not! How can we find in the Sunnah any justification for allying with a group that exists on the basis of a cause that’s in DIRECT CONTRADICTION to His message”

Background

Mehdi Hasan, a Muslim MSNBC journalist, and presenter, wrote a book called “Win Every Argument: The Art of Debating, Persuading, and Public Speaking”. In this thread, Mehdi Hasan posts a clip of an interview with a vaccine expert where he’s asked to debate an anti-vax doctor, to which the expert responds in the negative.

While we do not condone Hasan’s views in general, it is an established fact that using foul language like this is not permitted regardless of Mehdi Hasan’s views.

Haram Action 

Haqiqatjou espouses radical anti-vax views, and has even called for the murder of Dr. Anthony Fauci on his Telegram channel, Daniel Haqiqatjou Official. Here, he mocks Mehdi Hasan’s book titled “Win Every Argument”, while also cursing and calling Hasan a “bitch”. Of course, his censorship of the term does not negate the intention or the fact of the usage of the term.

Evidence of Haram

The origin of obscenity, swearing, and vulgarity is a result of a diseased heart. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:  “A believer is not a taunter, curser, obscene or indecent.”

And from Imam Kadhim, it has been narrated regarding two men who swore at each other that: “He who started swearing is more unjust and his sin and the sin of his partner (the individual sworn at) is upon him, as long as the oppressed does not exceed.”
