al-Muqaddimah/Prelude
This-Risālah/Article is predicated upon Several-Instances, Several-Convos, Several-Confrontations, etc. which I’ve had with Several-Individuals over the Years. Persons who’ve audaciously/arrogantly attempted to dim my Religio-Academic Light. I call them Pseudo Persons-Of-Knowledge”.
Yeah…I’m talkin bout whoever U think Im talkin bout
Yup…dat Nigga too
Tārīkh/Chronicles of Gareth Bryant Versus Pseudo Persons-Of-Knowledge
These so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge” attempt to marginalize the Truth/Honesty I convey by claiming they don’t “approve” of how I choose to convey Things. Of course, this is a Deflective-Ploy: a Pseudo-Justification to attempt to “ignore” & “reject” the Religio-Academia of Gareth Bryant. Persons like these so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge” attempt to “monopolize” al-`Ilmiyyah/Islāmic-Knowledge, as though al-`Ilmiyyah belings to them and those whom Religio-Academically control them & those like them via Religio-Academic Feudalism.
What Exactly is a Student of Knowledge – Talib ul ilm
Let’s explore Religio-Academic Feudalism
What’s “Religio-Academic Feudalism”?
Good-Question…
…Answer:
Religio
From Religion: word-forming element used from late 19c. with a sense of “religious, pertaining to religion, of religion and,” from Latin religio “a religion; holiness”
Academic
From Academia: 1580s, “relating to an academy,” also “collegiate, scholarly,” from Latin academicus “of the (classical Athenian) Academy,” from Academia, name of the place where Plato taught
Feudalism
From Feudal: 1610s, “pertaining to feuds,” estates of land granted by a superior on condition of services to be rendered to the grantor, from Medieval Latin feudalis, from feudum “feudal estate, land granted to be held as a benefice,” of Germanic origin (cognates: Gothic faihu “property,” Old High German fihu “cattle;” see fee). Related to Middle English feodary “one who holds lands of an overlord in exchange for service” (late 14c.)
So, “Religio-Academic Feudalism” is a System used by Muslims to Spiritually force Certain-Persons into Semi-Permanent Religio-Academic Ranks/Castes. Now, one may ask validly: “What’re these ‘Religio-Academic Ranks’?!!!”
Religio-Academic Ranks
For anyone familiar with Euro-Feudalism: this’ll be easy for you to comprehend.
1. `Ālim (Scholar): Noble/Lord
2. Shaykh (Teacher): Vassal/Overlord
3. Tālib (Student-Of-Knowledge): Vassal/Baron
4. Dā`ī (Promoter): Knight/Soldier
5. Imām (Mosque/Community-Leader): Esquire
6. Ustādh (Instructor): Franklin
7. Brother/Sister (Speaker): Serf
What do These-Rankings represent though?!!!
Good-Question…
…Answer:
For anyone familiar with Roman-Catholocism, the Mafia, etc.: this’ll be easy for you to comprehend.
`Ālim = Cardinal/Don*1
Shaykh = Archbishop/Consigliere*2
Tālib = Bishop/Underboss
Dā`ī = Missionary/Capo-Regime
Imām = Deacon/Lieutenant*3
Ustādh = Priest/Soldier*4
Brother/Sister = Parishioner/Associate*5
*1`Ulamā’/Scholars (Plural of `Ālim) are governed via al-Lajnah (Religio-Scholastic Commitee, Commission, Board, etc.) every Muslim-Country has a Lajnah, which is directly/overtly influence and/or controlled via the Government. Even Certain Non-Muslim Countries have a Lajnah. More often than not, Lajnah-Members 9/10 are all Governmental-Employees.
*2 “Shaykh” & “`Ālim” are often used interchangeably.
*3 “Imām”, “Shaykh”, “`Ālim”, are often used interchangeably.
*4 “Ustādh” & “Shaykh” are often used interchangeably.
*5 “Brother/Sister” is actually used to demean the Seriousness of a Specific-Persons Religio-Academia. This is especially true/honest referring to Muslim-Reverts. Lots of Times, Muslim-Reverts are relugated to the Title “Brother/Sister”.
Why do these “Scholastic-Rankings” even exists?!!!
Good-Question…
…Answer:
They exists as a Direct-Result of al-Imma`tiyyah/Groupie-Culture. It’s because Most-People, via al-Bashriyyah/Human-Nature, are addicted to Personality-Worship. They fiend to follow Others, even if/when they’re Dead-Ass Wrong. This is how/why:
a. Allah states “Have you seen those whom take their Desires as their God? Are you then their Enabler?”
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.25, V.43)
b. Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated “Don’t be an Imma`ah/Dick-Rider.”
(at-Tirmidhī)
Many-Muslims sadly are “Persons-Of-Knowledge” Groupies, because they wish to compensate for not having Positive-Relationships with their Biological-Fathers. This is particularly self evident amongst Muslims whom’re Afro/Latino-Americans. And, this is something which I’ve personally witnessed 1st-Hand.
Whom benefits from these “Scholastic-Rankings”?!!!
The Benefactors/Beneficiaries of these “Scholastic-Rankings”:
Muslim & Non-Muslim Governments which manipulate `Ulamā’, to be their Religio-Spiritual Muscle/Hitmen, in order to influence/control Muslims (to deflect & surpress Governmental-Dissent).
`Ulamā’ whom get to live comfortably & get the “Shaykh-Bag”, to promote the Religio-Political Whims of Muslim & Non-Muslim Governments.
“Persons-Of-Knowledge” Groupies whom deem themselves (either subconsciously or consciously) “Religio-Superior” to Other-Muslims, under the Pseudo-Auspicies of what’s commonly known/projected as being “Connected to the People-Of-Knowledge”.
Moreover, these “Scholastic-Rankings” are a Sifah/Manifestation of al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia. Meaning, Religio-Academic Feudalism is exclusively predicated upon whom were exposed to al-Islām firstly (relative to the Revelation of al-Qur’ān).
As per the `Asabiyyah-Side of Religio-Academic Feudalism spanning All-Regions of the Muslim-World:
Arab-Peoples
European-Peoples
Levantine-Peoples
Persian-Peoples
Saharan-Peoples
Central-Asian Peoples
Greater-Asian Peoples
GreaterAfro-Peoples
Western-World Peoples
Unpopular-Fact concerning Religio-Academic Feudalism:
Arabism is always used as a Trump-Card, to keep Arab-Peoples at the Top of the Food-Chain.
al-`Asabiyyah is the Exclusive-Reason for this, just as Muhammad Peace be upon them prophesied that al-`Asabiyyah will be 2/4-Things which’re the Sifāt/Characteristics of al-Jāhiliyyah/Ignorance their Ummah/Nation will never abandon.

Don’t ever try to “Pull-Rank” on Gareth Bryant
Nigga…don’t nobody give a Fuck bout yo Hoe-Ass-Madhāhib/Opinions, concerning how I choose to convey Things. I said it how I said it.
I’ve literally asked several so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge”, who’ve Bitched&Moaned about how I choose to convey Things. I’ve asked them Word4Word: “What’s worse: the Hypocrisies which I callout, or how I choose to call them out?!!!”. These-Mothafuckas audaciously pontificate/claim that how I choose to convey is worse. These-Niggas is Fried. It’s become Crystal-Clear, via my Personal-Interactions with certain so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge”: they’re Religio-Academic Frauds.
https://gbwrites.com/2025/09/04/peopleofknowledgeonbidah/
Unlike these so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge”, Gareth Bryant is a Nāsih (Chaplain, Counselor, Therapist, etc.) via Real-Life…via the Rahmah/Mercy-Of-Allah:
I’ve counseled More-Persons than any of these so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge” combined.
I’ve saved More-Peoples Lives than any of these so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge” combined.
I’ve empowered More-Persons than any of these so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge” combined.
https://gbwrites.com/2025/09/05/muslimmalegynocentricpanderers/
But, I know how/why that “Gareth Bryant didn’t study enough.” Sucka-Shit Mythos truly comes from…I’ll explain
They do this exclusively via al-Hasad/Envy, because my Religio-Academia isn’t predicated upon Muslim-Foreigner Dick-Ridin. When Muslims Dick-Ride these “Persons-Of-Knowledge” via Muslim-Countries…particularly Muslim-Arab Countries, they think they’ve found “Fatherhood” to fill their Fatherless-Voids
A Common-Phrase amongst these so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge” is:
“The Scholars are our Fathers.”
“The Scholars are like our Fathers.”
Before you venture to find/connect with an “`Ālim/Scholar”, go find/connect with your Fathers, providing that they’re even still alive.
Before you attempt to “sit at the Feet” of the `Ulamā’/Scholars, go sit at the Feet of your Fathers, providing they’re even still alive.

Fatherless-Ass-Niggas
When Muslims cling to “Persons-Of-Knowledge”, more often than not: they psycho-emotionally make these People into what’s often a Judeo-Christian Motif of the Pastor: “My Spiritual-Dad”. Not only is this oppressive to those this is imposed upon, but 9/10 These-Mothafuckas got they own Kids they Islāmically-Responsible for. (Ironically) instead of pressing their Mothers, as per how/why their Fathers weren’t in their Lives: they want to impose Fatherly-Responsibilities upon Others out of their own Pain/Resentments against their own Bio-Fathers/Mothers. And, it’s because they’re afraid of questioning/challenging their Mothers, for not choosing Suitable-Fathers for them.

#UnpopularFact
Most of these so-called:
“Persons-Of-Knowledge”
“Students-Of-Knowledge”
etc.
They don’t know as much as they think/feel they know. And, they don’t know what you think/feel they know. They’re 💯% Straight-Outta-Touch with Boots-On-The-Ground Realities of al-`Awwām/the Common-People (ironically the Persons they’re actually supposed to serve). They’ve literally got their Heads in the Sand and in the Clouds:
Addicted to their own Mythos/Publicity, and addicted to their Cult-Followings.
Hypocritical-Irony of these “Persons-Of-Knowledge”
Muslims Dick-Riding `Ulamā’ (Persons-Of-Knowledge), self-indulging in the “People-Of-Knowledge” Monopoly, etc.: it’s literally no different than/from the Asbāb (Reasons) how&why so many Persons join: Terrorist-Groups, Gangs/Cartels, Ahzāb (Religio-Sects), etc. They’re all looking for the Hubb/Mahabbah (Love) of a Biological-Father, which was denied them as Youngsters. It’s a Direct-Result of Social-Inheritance. You see, a Man whom never knew their Father becomes very Lost via ad-Dunyā/the Mundane. They’re constantly/consistently looking for something Real, in a World full of Illusion. Because of such a Deep-Void, a Man is potentially capable of doing anything to remove or at least supress the Void. Which is precisely how/why we’re discussing al-Imma`tiyyah (Groupie-Culture) via Muslims who Dick-Ride “Persons-Of-Knowledge”.
These Same-Mothafuckas whom claim to be so “Islāmically-Knowledgeable”, whom brag about studying with This-`Ālim/Scholar & That-Shaykh/Teacher, who’ve the audacity to question where Gareth Bryant studied and/or whom Gareth Bryant studied with/under, etc.: they literally refuse to abide by what’s detailed via Chpt.33, V.5 (a Direct-Amr/Command from Allah by the way). All of These-Niggas are Morally-Inconsistent. And, this is precisely how/why I refuse to take any of these “Persons-Of-Knowledge” whom don’t go by the Real Last-Names of their Biological-Fathers seriously. How/why da Fuck should I respect you, if/when you don’t even respect yourseleves…your Ābā’/Fathers…your Ansāb/Geneologies…etc.?!!!
Any Muslim whom refuses to go by the Real Last-Names of their Biological-Fathers have 0 Self-Esteem: they hate themselves, their Fathers, their own People, etc. They hate them, because they’ve 0 Self-Respect. They use Arabic-Names, as a Costume/Cosplay: they refuse to face their own Realities of whom they truly are. They’re Spiritually/Psycho-Emotionally Pathetic.

Gareth Bryant: Religio-Academic Outlaw
I’m basically a Religio-Academic Robin Hood: I Shit on Religio-Academic Feudalism & I aim to constantly/consistently religio academically empower the Average/Regular-Muslim. Clearly, my Efforts have not been without Fitn (Opposition, Resistance, Trials, Scandals, etc.). I’ve become quite the Annoyance, and for Good-Reason. I truly despise Elitism generally. I hate Religio-Academic Elitism particularly.
I’m often despised, because I got my Religio-Academia without going the “Studying-Overseas” Route. Because I’ve never been a “Persons-Of-Knowledge” Groupie, this has spurred al-`Udwān/Animosity, an-Nadam/Resentment, al-Karh/Hatred, etc. against me via my Religio-Academic Peers. Fortunately, for me: Gareth Bryant doesn’t give a Fuck about their Spiteful-Madhāhib/Opinions about or against me.
I stand my Ground. My Research, my Written-Work/Articles, etc. speak for themselves. And, if anyone of has a “Problem” with anything I’ve written: then write something better…I dare you. Matter-Of-Fact: don’t even waste your Time. You can’t, because Most of you Niggas: aren’t More-Intelligent than I am, don’t know more than I do, can’t read/write better than I can, etc.
For/to any&all those whom dared to “question” Gareth Bryant’s Religio-Academia, Religio-Academic Scholarship, etc.
#KnowThis:
9/10 you never “taught” me anything.
9/10 you only question what intimidates/scares you.
9/10 you only question what makes you uncomfortable.
9/10 you’re resentful, because you lack the Courage I have to refuse to be a Religio-Academic Feudalism Imma`ah/Dick-Rider.
9/10 you resent the Fact that I don’t desire/require Muslim-Foreigners for Religio-Academic Validation.
9/10 you resent the Fact that I don’t use “The `Ulamā`/Scholars” as a Smokescreen, because unlike you I don’t suffer from Daddy-Issues.
By the way…do your Reasearch & check my Resume before you start Yappin bout what U Niggas think U kno bout Gareth Bryant
About Gareth Bryant
These so-called “Persons-Of-Knowledge” don’t want Persons like me to exists. They all hate the Fact that I freely speak to the Religio-Hypocrisy, Moral-Inconsistency, Judgmental-Nature, etc. of them and/or those like them. They hate the Fact that I’ve the Basālah/Courage to rise Societal-Issues/Problems, which they refuse to touch due to Pseudo-Piety/Fake-Righteousness. But, I am here…I’m not going anywhere. I will harass you and those like you directly & indirectly any/every Chance I get so long as Allah allows me to live…because I hate you Niggas.
