We
are giving our innocent children haraam (forbidden) substances and harmful chemicals that destroy their natural immune
systems, causing disease, suffering and death. All Muslim doctors
and parents should be aware of vaccine ingredients, and of the failed efficacy
of vaccines. The harm is clearly greater than the benefit. The time
has come to take a stand for truth.
Vaccine Ingredients
Vaccine
ingredients include heavy metals, pus from sores of diseased animals,
horse serum, calf serum, faecal matter, foetal cells, urine, macerated cancer
cells, sweepings from diseased children, formaldehyde (a carcinogen used in
embalming fluid), phenol (a carcinogen capable of causing paralysis,
convulsions, coma, necrosis and gangrene), lactalbumin hydrolysate (an
emulsifier), aluminium phosphate (an aluminium salt that is corrosive to
tissues), retro-virus SV-40 (a contaminant virus in some polio vaccines),
antibiotics (e.g., neomycin tm) that lead to antibiotic resistance, chick
embryo (as a growth medium for the virus), sodium phosphate (a buffering salt),
and foreign animal tissues containing genetic material (DNA/RNA) from the
growth medium. Vaccines are also contaminated with mycoplasma, bacteria,
monkey viruses and various adjuvants. Heavy metals include thiomersal
(mercury) as a preservative and aluminium as an adjuvant. Mercury and
aluminium have each been proved to damage the brain and nervous system.
In some cases, thiomersal has been replaced by another neurotoxin known as
2PE. Vaccines also contain monosodium glutamate (MSG), sorbitol, and
gelatine. Many of these ingredients are not allowed for Muslims, Jews,
Hindus or vegetarians.
A Fatally-flawed System of
Intervention
Vaccination
is based on the long-discredited theory that stimulation of antibodies in the
human body equals protection from disease. This theory has not only
failed to be proved, but has been repeatedly disproved. Stimulation of
antibodies does not equal immunity and certainly does not equal permanent
immunity. The presence of antibodies is merely a sign of exposure to a
disease, which is just one small aspect of what makes up the immune
system. Children, with underdeveloped and immature immune systems,
receive today about 25 separate vaccines by the age of 13 months. There
is no doubt this irresponsible system disrupts and can even destroy the
development of their immune systems forever.
Vaccines commonly given to children in the United Kingdom today include – TWO
MONTHS: diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, HIB meningitis and polio +
pneumococcal (six components, two needles); THREE MONTHS: diphtheria, tetanus,
acellular pertussis, HIB meningitis and polio + meningitis C (six components,
two needles); FOUR MONTHS: diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, HIB
meningitis and polio + pneumococcal + meningitis C (seven components, three
needles); 12 MONTHS: HIB meningitis and meningitis C (two components, two
needles); 13 MONTHS: measles, mumps, rubella + pneumococcal vaccine (four
components, two needles). This reflects a grave medical assault inflicted
on the small, weak, defenceless bodies of our innocent children.
Just a Few of the Monstrous
Problems
Unthinkably,
vaccine studies do not include placebo groups. Instead, they use other
vaccines in “control” groups, making it impossible to properly note actual
rates of adverse events between a test group and real control group. No
research has been done on the long-term effects of vaccines.
Post-marketing data of reactions, injury and death go ignored. Moreover,
the system lacks individualization. Apparently, one size fits all.
There is no pre-screening for immune problems and allergies. Overloading the
human body with infections and sub-infections will irreparably disrupt and
destroy the immune system. Chemicals in vaccines induce allergies,
asthma, and autoimmune disease, including autism. By the way, don’t let
any indoctrinated doctor tell you vaccines do not cause autism.
Do your own research. Sexual immorality and adultery are stirred by
offering our daughters HPV vaccination against cervical cancer. Notably
and incredibly, the HPV vaccine is shown to make some recipients even more
susceptible to cervical cancer. According to many scientific reports,
there is additional concern that some vaccines cause infertility and are used
for clandestine population control. The proper role of medicine is to
work to find and prevent the root cause of disease, not treat symptoms or fill
the body with chemicals and vaccines.
Islam and Medical Science
Must Oppose Vaccination
The
case against vaccination is first an Islamic one, based on Islamic ethos
regarding the perfection of the natural human body’s immune defence system,
empowered by great and prophetic guidance to avoid most infections. The
case against vaccination is also a medical and health-related one.
Incredible evidence, unbeknownst to most, has emerged in the West regarding the
many serious health hazards that affect those who have been vaccinated.
Islam and the
Immune System
Colostrum in breast milk, a rich source of
myriad antibodies, is extraordinarily important in conveying immunity to the
child during the first few days after birth. Breastfeeding up to two
years gives incredible immunity into the future. Medical studies evidence
the amazing protection of breastfeeding against infections, even including
poliomyelitis. The first two years of life are a crucial time during which the
child’s body will develop a natural and mature immune system. Vaccination
disrupts and damages the natural process of human development. God (Allah), the Creator, the
Designer, has organised for the destruction of most germs and viruses through
the natural process of entry-and-defence via skin, mucous, and the stomach.
This process is very different from injection of a vaccine directly into the
body without crossing natural defence barriers. Twenty-five weakened
diseases are destructively pushed by needlepoint into the bodies of our fragile
children at a stage when they are developing their own natural defence
systems.Infection and disease are medically proven to regularly succumb to
spontaneous, self-remitting recovery. Childhood bouts with infectious
disease help build the immune system against future attacks. As our
beloved physician and prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has told us,
for every disease there is a cure. The final holy book, Al Qur’an, is an awesome
medical source for both prevention and cure of disease. To best prepare
the body, the Muslim should use natural and permissible nutrition from Yayyib (natural) food
and drink. Of further importance, we need to address the root causes of
morbidity and mortality: poverty, malnutrition, lack of clean drinking water,
lack of a healthy and natural foods, lack of proper sewage, and toxins in the
environment and body.The Islamic behaviour of seeking halal (lawful) and
avoiding harram has been linked to health throughout time by many Muslim doctors and scientists,
especially in the field of preventative medicine. Great care should be
given to personal hygiene, including hand washing at about 25 times per day (15
times before the five daily prayers during wudu [absolution]). Properly
practising daily personal hygiene will avoid many infections. Many fruits
and other healthy foods prescribed in Islam have been found to prevent disease
and strengthen the immune system, including olive and olive oil, ginger,
grapes, pomegranate, vinegar, rosemary and figs. Islamic-prescribed
complementary medicine protects us from disease and strengthens our natural
immune system, including honey, fasting, prayer (meditation), Du’A (special prayer) for
the sick, black seed, Hijama (blood cupping), holy fruits and foods, breastfeeding, aromatherapy, Zam Zam (drinking holy
water at Makkah, Saudi Arabia at the time of pilgrimage), and laying on of
hands with a special prayer. Frequent exposure to the sun for vitamin D
and a diet rich in vitamin D prevents many diseases. Islam prohibits
Muslims from taking any harmful medicine or substance. Even where there
is doubt or controversy, Islam orders us to leave it completely. This
applies to vaccines.
The Truth Be Told
Harram in many vaccines
include human foetuses, gelatine from pork, alcohol, and human and animal
parts. These najis (unclean), haraam ingredients are
not given in a state of emergency to save life at present. It is ridiculous to
introduce myriad infective agents into millions of people as a “just in case”
prevention of future infection. It is very wrong that Muslim doctors have
adopted a medical intervention that contains so many haraams and harmful
chemicals.
In Islam, the human body is holy. We should protect and keep it natural,
pure, healthy and safe. As vaccines are neither pure nor natural, it is
no wonder that science and medicine have found them to be so incredibly
dangerous. A well-orchestrated pharmaceutical industry plan of scaremongering
exists to create fear in parents who do not vaccinate their children.
Doctors and governments have been indoctrinated and corrupted by a gigantic and
incredibly powerful industry into advocating obligatory vaccination, contrary
to health and human and religious rights. This has happened not to advance
health, but for profit.
Vaccines should not be pushed or forced on anyone.
The Case for
Opposing Vaccination
- It disrupts and destroys the
natural immune systems of our innocent children
- It produces many physical and
medical problems
- It increases antibiotic
resistance among many patients
- It can make many people sterile
or infertile
- It contains many harmful
chemicals like mercury and aluminium
- It lacks scientific, independent
evidence of efficacy and safety
- It contains many haraam substances
for the 1600 million Muslims in the world (the latest of which is the
vaccine for Meningitis for the Muslim Pilgrims who are going to Hajj was
found to contain pork, which is harram.)
- It also contains substances
which are prohibited for Jews, Hindus and vegetariansIt is unhygienic and
full of filth
- It wastes trillions of dollars
and is making the people and governments in poor third world countries
poorer and more in debt, and the drug companies filthy rich
- It is medically unethical, as it
took us away from dealing with the causes of the diseases and work on
prevention. It is a very wrong medical practice to use a vaccine
against every ill
- It lacks transparency and
informed consent. Most parents, the public, and even doctors are not
aware of its harms, ingredients and cost
- A rising number of doctors,
health professionals and parents are joining the campaign against
vaccination (websites below)
- We have many natural ways to
build a natural strong immune system to fight most infections
- We have many natural, safe
alternatives
- Incredibly, the Big Pharma
producers of vaccines are exempt from any liability or prosecution,
regardless of the number of people who die or are injured
- Our innocent children are
suffering and they gave no consent at all for the vaccines forced on
them. This constitutes a medical assault
