Authorship

On the intellectual level, Major Tamer Badr has eight books, as he is interested in studying religious, military, historical and political issues from an ijtihadist perspective. Most of the books he wrote were written before mid-2010 and were written and published in secret due to the sensitivity of his position as an officer in the armed forces and in order not to be accused of extremism at that time. All his books did not receive material profits from them, as he wrote and published them for the face of God Almighty, these books are:

1- The virtue of patience in affliction; presented by Sheikh Mohammed Hassan.

2- Unforgettable Days; presented by Dr Ragheb Al-Sarjani, which deals with the decisive battles in Islamic history.

3- Unforgettable Leaders; presented by Dr Ragheb Al-Sarjani, and deals with the most famous Muslim military leaders from the Prophet's era to the Ottoman Caliphate.

4- Unforgettable Countries; presented by Dr Ragheb Al-Sarjani, which deals with the most famous countries in Islamic history that defended Muslims and conquered countries.

5- The Character of the Shepherd and the Subject; this book deals with the relationship between the shepherd and the subject from the political point of view, and the duties and rights of both parties from the Islamic perspective.

6- Riyadh al-Sunnah from the authenticity of the six books; in this book, he has collected the authentic and good hadiths based on what Sheikh Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him) has authenticated.

7- Islam and War; this book deals with Islamic military doctrine.

8- The Awaited Messages; this book deals with the major signs of the Hour.

Life of Prophet Muhammad

Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah, peace be upon him, is the Seal of the Prophets, sent by God to guide mankind to the path of monotheism, mercy and justice.
He was born in Mecca in 571 AD in an environment dominated by idolatry, and grew up with good morals, until God Almighty sent him a revelation at the age of forty, and the greatest journey of change in history began.

On this page, we take you on a tour through the stages of his blessed life: From his birth and upbringing, through the revelations, his call in Mecca, his migration to Medina, the building of the Islamic State, and his death.
Each stage of his life holds great lessons in patience, wisdom, compassion and leadership

Why they converted to Islam?

On this page, we highlight the stories of people from different backgrounds, cultures and religions who chose Islam with conviction after a journey of research and reflection.
These are not just personal anecdotes, but honest testimonies that express the profound change that Islam brought about in their hearts and minds, the questions they found answers to, and the tranquillity they felt after Islam.

Whether the story began with philosophical research, curiosity, or even after a touching human situation, the common denominator in these experiences is the light they found in Islam, and the certainty that replaced doubt.

We present these stories in multiple languages, in both written and visual formats, to inspire and introduce Islam through a living human experience.

We only ask you to read with an open mind and a sincere heart to seek the truth

The miracle of the Qur'an

The Holy Qur'an is the eternal miracle of Islam, revealed by God to the Prophet Muhammad to guide the world and challenge humans with its eloquence, clarity and truths.
The Qur'an is characterised by multiple miraculous aspects, including:
- The rhetorical miracle: In his unique style, which the eloquent Arabs could not come up with anything like it.
- Scientific miracles: it includes accurate references to newly discovered scientific facts in fields such as embryology, astronomy, and oceans.
- Numerical miracles: The symmetry and repetition of words and numbers in astonishing ways that emphasise its perfection.
- The legislative miracle: Through an integrated system that balances spirit and body, truth and mercy.
- Psychological and social miracles: Its profound impact on hearts and societies since its revelation until today.

On this page, we take you on a journey to discover the facets of this miracle, in a simple, authoritative style, aimed at non-Muslims and all those who seek to understand the greatness of this unique book

Prophets in Islam

One of the basic principles of Islam is that all the prophets sent by God throughout history are messengers of truth and guidance, who came with a single call to worship God alone. Muslims believe in Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Noah, Joseph, David, Solomon and other prophets, revere and respect them, and consider disbelief in any of God's prophets to be a departure from faith.

The Holy Qur'an emphasises that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is not a new prophet with a new religion, but rather the conclusion of a series of prophets who came with the same core message: monotheism, justice and morality. Therefore, Islam does not exclude previous religions, but recognises their divine origin and calls for belief in all God's messengers without distinction.

This unique doctrine emphasises the universality of Islam and establishes bridges of mutual respect between followers of divine religions.

Prophet Jesus

The Prophet Isa, peace be upon him, occupies a great place in Islam, as he is one of the first of the Prophets, and is considered one of the greatest prophets sent by God to guide mankind. Muslims believe that Jesus was born from the Virgin Mary without a father, by a divine miracle, and that his birth was a sign of God's great signs.

Muslims believe that Jesus, peace be upon him, is the promised Messiah, and that he called his people to worship God alone, and that God supported him with remarkable miracles, such as raising the dead and healing the sick, with God's permission, and that he will return at the end of time to establish justice, break the cross and kill the Antichrist. They also believe that he was not crucified or killed, but that God raised him up, and that he will return at the end of time to establish justice, break the cross, and kill the Antichrist.

Islam honours Jesus and affirms that he is a noble prophet and slave of God, not a god or the son of a god. Islam also honours his mother, Maryam, who is given a unique place in the Holy Quran, and her name is mentioned more than once in the Book of Allah, and there is a surah named after her in the Quran.

Egyptian Revolution

Major Tamer Badr is a former officer in the Egyptian Armed Forces. He participated in the Egyptian revolution and had a role in the revolutionary movement that followed, where he expressed clear positions towards the political events that took place in the country.
Due to his political positions and his sit-in in Tahrir Square during the Mohamed Mahmoud events in November 2011 for 17 days, he was subjected to security persecution and then arrested in Tahrir Square by members of the Egyptian Military Intelligence, and was militarily tried and imprisoned for a year in Military Intelligence Prison and then Military Prison, and then retired early from military service in January 2015.

The Book of the Awaited Messages

Tamer Badr presented new visions that sparked widespread debate in intellectual circles. In his book The Awaited Messages, he discussed the difference between a prophet and a messenger, and argued that the Prophet Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets, as stated in the Holy Quran, but not necessarily the Seal of the Messengers. He based his argument on a range of Qur'anic evidence and hadiths that he believed supported his thesis, which led to a great controversy between his supporters and opponents, especially in traditional religious circles.
Tamer Badr faced widespread criticism for his intellectual theses, and his book The Awaited Messages was considered a departure from mainstream Islamic thought. Despite the controversy, he continued to research and write about issues of religious and political reform, emphasising the importance of rereading religious texts with a new methodology commensurate with the developments of the times.

His career

Major Tamer Badr graduated from the Military Academy in July 1997 as an officer in the Egyptian Armed Forces until he was retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel on 1 January 2015
After Tamer Badr retired from the Armed Forces due to his political positions, he obtained several courses that qualified him to work as a quality and safety consultant and actually worked in a company that qualifies companies, factories and hospitals to obtain ISO certification in October 2015 until he has extensive experience in qualifying companies, factories and hospitals to obtain ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 45001 (safety) and ISO 14001 (environment) certificates, by helping them in establishing quality, safety, occupational health and environmental systems.
After gaining extensive experience as a quality, safety and occupational health consultant, Tamer Badr was promoted to work as an ISO auditor since January 2022, where he audited many companies and factories to obtain ISO certificates in quality, safety and environment.

Articles

A Muslim who stands for the right, no matter what direction it takes.

Just because Sheikh Mohammed Hassan wrote an introduction to my book doesn't mean I'm a Salafist
Just because I read Sun Tzu doesn't mean I'm a Buddhist
Just because I like the ideas of Imam Hassan al-Banna doesn't mean I'm a Brotherhood member.
Just because I admire Guevara for standing up for the poor doesn't mean I have to be a communist
Just because I admire the asceticism of Sufi sheikhs does not mean that I am a Sufi
Just because I have liberal friends doesn't mean I'm a liberal
Just because I've read the Old and New Testament doesn't mean I'm Jewish or Christian.
It doesn't mean that I have to be of the same religion to read to anyone, no matter what their religion is.
Bottom line
I love to read and mix with all cultures and take from them what benefits me and leave what contradicts my values, principles and goals and does not harm my religion.
I don't like anyone putting me under a specific current, all currents, some of which I agree with in some opinions and some of which I disagree with in some opinions, and I don't fanaticise about a specific current, as this is the reason for our dispersion and weakness
I say that I am a Muslim who stands for the truth, no matter what direction it takes.

Aphorisms

Wisdom is the believer's treasure, so wherever he finds it, he will find it.

This hadith, although it is not proven to be narrated to the Prophet (peace be upon him), its meaning is correct, because a believer is always seeking the truth and is keen on it, and nothing prevents him from adopting it wherever it appears to him.
Abdullah ibn Ubayd ibn Umayr reportedly said: "It used to be said, 'Knowledge is a believer's lost cause, and if he comes across something, he carries it with him until he adds another to it." This is supported by what Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Prophet Muhammad, saying: "Take wisdom and it does not hurt you from whatever vessel it comes out of."
It is a rule in the believer's life that he must follow, as the believer is entitled to the right opinion wherever he finds it.

Visions

1- The visions I see are not daydreams or pre-sleep or between sleep and wakefulness fantasies, but visions that come to me while I am asleep.
2- The visions that I see, I wake up suddenly after the end of the vision, not in stages, and my eyes become open as if I am in the middle of the day and I remember the vision in all its details and often do not fall asleep afterwards.
3- The vision remains stuck in my mind for many years and I keep remembering it and do not forget it as happens with ordinary dreams, there are visions that I remember since 1992 and I remember their details accurately.
4- I try as much as possible to sleep in ablution. This does not mean that visions can only come to me in ablution, as I have had several visions while not sleeping in ablution.
5- Before going to bed, I recite Surah Al-Fatiha, Ayah Al-Kursi, the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, recite Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and Al-Nas three times, and pray to the Prophet (peace be upon him).
6- The supplication I say before going to sleep is: "O God, I have entrusted my spirit, soul and body to You while I sleep, so do not let the devil lead me astray.
7- Most of the visions I see are not preceded by an Istikhara prayer in which I ask Allah (SWT) for something specific.
8- Visions are a blessing from Allah (SWT) that He bestows on His servants and have nothing to do with the number of acts of worship a person performs. I do not see myself at the pinnacle of religiosity, there are those who are much better than me and there are disbelievers and reprobates who have seen visions, such as Pharaoh.

Criticisms

I accept disagreement but not offence

List of accusations made against me by most people since 2011 until now

Most of you have made the following accusations against me, whether publicly or privately, or passed them on to a friend

1- During the January 2011 revolution, when I was a major in the army, until I was arrested during the Mohamed Mahmoud events and sent to prison, the summary of the accusations and suspicions that people levelled at me for my participation in the revolution was that I was either an intelligence agent among the revolutionaries, a member of 6 April, or a supporter of Hazem Salah Abu Ismail.
2- After coming out of prison in January 2013 and opposing the Tamarod movement, most of the accusations from many revolutionaries were that I was a Muslim Brotherhood member or an immigrant, while many of the Brotherhood accused me of being an immigrant because I was opposed to Morsi's policies, even though I was against his overthrow.
3- After 30 June 2013 and until I left the army, people accused me of being an amanji, a traitor, an agent of Israel, or a spy on the revolutionaries because I was against Morsi's removal.
4- After I got out of the army in January 2015, most of the accusations were that I was Ikhwan, ISIS or Amnji.
5- After I published my book The Waiting Letters in December 2019 and until now, all the previous accusations ended and were replaced by new accusations such as (I ignited sedition among Muslims - the Antichrist or one of his associates - crazy - misguided - disbeliever - apostate who must be punished and killed - I was possessed by a consort to write to you - who are you to come contrary to what Muslim scholars agree on - how can we take our faith from an officer in the Egyptian army - etc, etc)

The period in which I received the worst attacks and many accusations is the period after the publication of my book The Waiting Letters until now, although it is a very short period, it is painful for me because very few people stood by me during that period compared to the periods before the publication of my book The Waiting Letters.

I accept disagreement and do not take offence
