al-Muqaddimah/Prelude
The Religio-Academic Rivalry between Gareth Bryant (Atharī Corleone) and Tālib Nathaniel (Al B Ash`arī) began as the both of us subtly and directly challenged each other’s Religio-Academia: of course at All-Times in Respectful/Brotherly-Ways (striving to be/remain Muslim-1st).

The Benefits of our Rivalry
The both of us jointly concluded, over Time, that the Precedent which we set for ourselves and each other-Our Rivalry literally (via the Exclusive-Help of Allah by the way) taught Other-Muslims how to respectfully debate without Unrespect/Disrespect, Hostility, Violence, etc. And, unbeknownst to either of us: Countless-Persons ended-up genuinely benefitting from the Rivalry between the Siblings of the Pen. What we’ve been capable to acvomplish between the two of us: it’s not ever been done via either of our Lifetimes. What the Siblings of the Pen have jointly presided over has morphed into Muslims via Various Religio-Academic Levels, wanting a Piece of the Action. By that I mean this: the Rivalry between Gareth Bryant and Tālib Nathaniel reached Worldwide-Audiences. Muslims via International-Countries began to invedt, lay stake, etc. into what Gareth Bryant and Tālib Nathaniel initiated.

How our Rivalry started
It started when the Siblings of the Pen became Members of the same Whatsapp-Group. Our Whatsapp-Group, ironically, being based upon the Same-Usūl/Principles of: Respect, Brotherhood, Friendship, Information-Sharing, etc. As the two of us began more expressive via the Whatsapp-Group: everyone in the Group knew that Gareth Bryant and Tālib Nathaniel would eventually debate…and debate we have.

Personally, I never expected my “Tafwīdh vs. Ta’wìl” Risālah/Article as much Tract which if has. But…it really has. The Rivalry between Gareth Bryant and Tālib Nathaniel got the Close-Attention of any/all those invested in the “`Aqīdah-Wars”.

Rivarly-Notoriety has come at a High-Price for the Siblings of the Pen
There’s Extremely-Dark Elements/Entities, whom attempted to “discredit” each amongst the Siblings of the Pen (especially trying to “discredit” Gareth Bryant). There’re Several-Factions personally-responsible for plotting to turn Atharī Corleone and Al B Ash`arī against each other. These Hoe-Ass-Sectarians are the Following-Bozos:
The Ashy-Ash`arīs
(Representing the Ash`arī Social-Club)
The Ashy-Ash`arīs, led by Amīn Muhammad (The Theological-Prostitute), are Hellbent on imposing Unjust-Takfīr/Blasphemy against any Fellow-Muslim (whom don’t/refuse to Dick-Ride Ash`arism). Gareth Bryant has been a Theological-Spear in their Side for a Long-Time. Because of this, of course, the Ashy-Ash`arīs took every Chance they could get to attempt brandishing Gareth Bryant as having “Blasphemous-Beliefs”. In Other-Words: the Ashy-Ash`arīs can’t “debunk” anything which Gareth Bryant theologically produces. So, they were literally banking on Tālib Nathaniel “destroying” Gareth Bryant. That clearly never took place: the Best that the Ashy-Ash`arīs could settle for is Tālib Nathaniel only being capable to establish Stalemates between themselves and Gareth Bryant. The Ashy-Ash`arīs didn’t want the Siblings of the Pen Rivalry-Tie.

The Anal-Atharīs
(Representing the Atharī Frat-House)
The Anal-Atharīs attempted to Punk-Ass Slander Gareth Bryant. How, you ask?!!! Answer: By attempting to use Lavotte Saunders, by spreading a Lie that Lavotte Saunders “refuted” Gareth Bryant. There’s no duch Thing as “refuting” Gareth Bryant: they lied though exclusively via al-Hasad/Envy. The Anal-Atharīs did this-According to the Anal-Atharīs, Gareth Bryant hasn’t given “Bay`ah/Allegiance” to the “Atharì-Curriculum: some Type/Kind “Mythical-Manual” like they’ve got in Kung-Fu Films/Movies. The Anal-Atharīs played themselves via 2-Ways: a. They tried to “silence” Gareth Bryant via the Refutation-Lie. b. They audaciously/arrogantly told Tālib Nathaniel that they wanted me to embrace the Anal-Atharīs. Now, how da Fuck would anyone of Principle, Integrity, etc. “embrace” da Same-Mothafuckas who slandered them?!!! That’s literally Moral-Stupidity, by default/definition.

The Sucka-Salafīs
(Representing the Salafī-Mafia)
The Sucka-Salafīs attempted to accuse Gareth Bryant of being a “Deviant”, “Innovator”, etc. And, since Gareth Bryant has been fully-invested in dismantling this Fake “`Aqīdah-Monopoly”: the Sucka-Salafīs have reacted via very Similar-Ways as the Anal-Atharīs have.

How the Siblings of the Pen chose to deal with all this
Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel made a Hilf/Pact between ourselves, that we’ll always treat one another as per Muslim-1st: via the Utmost-Respect due to any/all Other-Muslims. Then, we both knew how envious the Ashy-Ash`arīs, Anal-Atharīs, Sucka-Salafīs, etc. had always been when True-Muslims place Sectarian-Issues where they belong: in da Mothafuckin-Trash and focus on Religio-Principle/Integrity. Then, the both of us decided to allow/embrace the Religio-Academic-Publicity surrounding the Unbroken-Bay`ah/Allegiance between Atharī Corleone and Al B Ash`arī. The Theological-Irony is that Gareth Bryant and Tālib Nathaniel are literally the Du`ā’/Verbal-Prayer which the Progenitor/Founder of Ash`arism wanted Allah to answer. Abul-Hasan al-Ash`arī, via their own Deathbed in Baghdād: they quite literally made at-Tawbah/Repentance fir doing precisely the same Sucka-Shit which the Ashy-Ash`arīs have always been notoriously known for…Unjust-Takfīr/Blasphemy and the Bullshit-Claim of possessing the “Only Correct-`Aqīdah/Creed”.

The `Aqīdah/Theology-Debate which truly tested the Bonds between the Siblings of the Pen
Like any/all Siblings…Sibling-Rivalry does get personal sometimes. And, it most definitely got That-Way between Atharī Corleone and Al B Ash`arī. Amongst the Most-Pivital Moments between the Siblings of the Pen was when Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel debated about the Theological-Status of an-Nu`mān ibn-Thābit (Abī-Hanīfah): the Progenitor/Founder of al-Hanafiyyah/Hanafism (one of the 8-Surviving Madhāhib/Legal-Schools). Tālib Nathaniel & Other-Ash`arīs of course: they argued that an-Nu`mān ibn-Thābit was a “Default-Ash`arī”. Gareth Bryant argued that an-Nu`mān ibn-Thābit was a Default-Atharī. Lo&Behold: The Siblings of the Pen went at it. Our Debate, particularly referring to the aforementioned, caught the Attention of: Abī-Muhammad al-Mālikī (a Truly-Untrustworthy Wretch), as well as Yūsuf Rios (a Regarded/Respected Atharī/Salafī-Academic amongst Certain-Atharīs/Salafīs). There was already Personal-Fitnah/Beef between Yūsuf Rios & Abī-Muhammad al-Mālikī. However, that Personal-Fitnah got dragged into the Public-Sphere (Piggybacking off of the Debate between The Siblings of the Pen).
Then, Abū-Muhammad al-Mālikī & Yūsuf Rios went at it. This resulted in Yūsuf Rios being lambasted, as per their Religio-Academia being questioned…ridiculed…mocked…etc. I can honestly say (Tālib Nathaniel would definitely agree with me by the way) that this Fitnah between Abī-Muhammad al-Mālikī & Yūsuf Rios was a Fitnah/Test for The Siblings of the Pen. Yūsuf Rios & Gareth Bryant are Personal-Friends…Abū-Muhammad al-Mālikī & Tālib Nathaniel are Personal-Friends. So, of course, if someone’s Friend has Fitnah: one’s either going to make Peace or go to War. But, the Thing is: Gareth Bryant & Tālib Nathaniel never wanted Religio-Academic War between one another. So, Conflicts-Of-Interests were most definite at play. The Siblings of the Pen were still debating while we both observed jointly how Yūsuf Rios vs. Abū-Muhammad al-Mālikī would play-out the Whole-Time…all of this occurring at the Same-Time.
Meanwhile, all the Atharīs & Salafīs whom witnessed Gareth Bryant vs. Tālib Nathaniel as well as Yūsuf Rios vs. Abū-Muhammad al-Mālikī:
Team-Atharī & Team-Salafī literally ran, while they saw Yūsuf Rios being Academically-Jumped via Team-Ash`arī. Team-Atharī & Team-Salafī literally sided with Tālib Nathaniel against Gareth Bryant, in spite of Tālib Nathaniel’s Academic-Arguments being diametrically opposed to what Team-Atharī & Team-Salafī pontificate/claim to stand for. Team-Atharī & Team-Salafī cowardly watched from the Sidelines, as Gareth Bryant went Argument4Argument against Tālib Nathaniel. In fact, Reps from Team-Atharī & Team-Salafī literally sent Kites through to Tālib Nathaniel, telling them “Tell Gareth Bryant to stop arguing with you…you got this.”. Literally, in spite of Gareth Bryant being the Only-Person capable/able to prevent Tālib Nathaniel from Mopping both Team-Atharī & Team-Salafī at the Same-Time: they sided with Tālib Nathaniel against Gareth Bryant…Pussy-Ass Niggas.

And, this when Amīn Muhammad: The Theological-Prostitute stepped-in to speak against Gareth Bryant’s Name…again. And, that’s Gareth Bryant had to disrespect The Theological-Prostitute…again.

After the `Aqīdah-Dust settled…the Siblings of the Pen remained Undefeated
Gareth Bryant and Tālib Nathaniel have seen it all & done it all, as per the Extreme-Severities which Hoe-Ass-Sectarians are actually willing to go. However, with Allah (as always and at All-Times) as the Best-Of-Planners: it’s ridiculously easy to see whom Allah chose to favor via these Religio-Theological/Academic Conflicts. Allah never aids the Oppressor. Allah never helps the Fake-Niggas. Allah never blesses the Betrayers. Allah never raises the Rankings of the Slanderer. The Ashy-Ash`arīs, Anal-Atharīs, Sucka-Salafīs, etc. are cursed by Allah and they always will be, because they’re equally of all I’ve agorementioned.
Fuck dem Hizbī-Niggas.
Gareth Bryant
