Black was chosen to represent the‘ Abbāsī state, white to represent the Umawī state, green to represent the‘ Ubaydī(“ Fātimī”) state, and red to represent the late“ Sharīf” 2 leadership of Hijāz. In this symbolism, he mixed between Islamic khulafā’, apostate Ismā’ īliyyah, and apostate agents. He needed to give his Arab followers something symbolic, historical, material, and uniquely“ Arabian” for them to rally around. This jāhilī banner became the flag of the so-called“ Arab Revolt” he engineered. The flag was initially manufactured in Egypt by the British Military to be raised by their allies.
Sykes’ s allies from amongst the Arab nationalists used a line of poetry written by Safī ad-Dīn al- Hillī – who died in 750AH – to endorse these jāhilī symbols. Al-Hillī said,“ Our deeds are white, our battles are black, our fields are green, and our swords are red.” No doubt, his line of poetry was written hundreds of years before the“ Arab Revolt.”
Sykes, together with his peers and leaders, devised a plan to further divide the broken Muslims’ lands into nationalist states. The Muslims’ lands had been polluted by pagan domes( for grave worship) and plagued by manmade laws at the hands of Ottoman rulers, especially in the last two centuries before the eventual collapse of Ottoman reign. This fragile condition coupled with the policy of turkification – which promoted Turkish nationalism and degraded the Arabic language – aided Sykes and his allies in promoting the“ Arab Revolt.” the crusaders! He did not wage jihād for Allah’ s cause to rid the Muslims’ lands of manmade laws and pagan domes and thereby establish a shar’ ī khilāfah. Rather he fought merely to unify the“ Arab” lands alone under a nationalist“ caliphate” that he would rule over, but under the direction of his new crusader masters.
During the various battles he and his sons led in the“ Arab Revolt,” their soldiers were accompanied and supported by British crusaders including Colonel Cyril Wilson, Colonel Pierce C. Joyce, Lieutenant Colonel Stewart Francis Newcombe, Herbert Garland, and Captain T. E. Lawrence( the so-called“ Lawrence of Arabia”), French crusaders including Colonel Edouard Bremond, Captain Rosario Pisanim, Claude Prost, and Laurent Depui, and French apostates including Captain Muhammad Ould Ali Raho. The British would even intervene with their navy and air force in battles to give al-Husayn and his sons the upper hand against their rivals. Al-Husayn and his sons meticulously obeyed the orders dictated to them by the British crusaders so as to guarantee their backing. The British eventually appointed them as kings over Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Hijāz. The current tāghūt of Jordan is a descendent of this same family.
The British began negotiating with al- Husayn Ibn‘ Alī 3( the“ Sharīf” of Hijāz – died 1350AH / 1931CE) to rebel and declare an independent Arab nationalist state. Al-Husyan Ibn‘ Alī revolted against his former Ottoman masters and declared himself, with the permission of the British,“ Sultan of the Arab Lands” and“ Caliph” over a nationalist“ caliphate” erected by
2 The word literarily means“ the noble.” The leaders of Hijāz( Makkah, al-Madīnah, and surrounding regions) since 597AH / 1200CE up until 1344AH / 1925CE all descended from Qatādah Ibn Idrīs al-Hasanī( died 618AH) and were referred to by the title“ sharīf” because of their Hasanī lineage. Because of the later generations’ apostasy through shirk and walā’ to the apostates and the crusaders, they are not deserving of this praiseworthy title.
3 Because the names are similar, it should be noted that everywhere the name al-Husayn Ibn‘ Alī is used here, then it is referring to this crusader agent and not to the noble son of‘ Alī Ibn Abī Tālib( radiyallāhu‘ anh).
