The Abrahamic Movement in Iraq, led by Sunni scholar Abu Musa Al-Iraqi with the participation of Tom Wegner, founder and CEO of the International Abrahamic Movement, has issued a landmark statement in direct response to disinformation being spread by Iranian-linked figures seeking to sow confusion about the movement’s theological foundations and Iraq’s sovereign Abrahamic identity.

The statement opens with a verse that frames everything that follows — and everything the movement stands for:

“Indeed, Abraham was a nation obedient to Allah, and he was not of the partners.”
Surah Al-Nahl, Verse 120
Iraq — The Land of Abraham

The statement’s theological foundation rests on a profound historical fact: Iraq is the homeland of the Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim Khalil Rahman) — whose house stands in Nasiriyah, Dhi Qar province. Abraham, the father of all the prophets and the founder of the three Abrahamic faiths, is mentioned 69 times in the Holy Quran across numerous surahs and verses. Iraq’s identity is therefore inseparable from the Abrahamic heritage that gave the world Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

“And remember Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — the first of the hands and the eyes.”
Surah Sad, Verse 45
Imam Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir’s tafsir of this verse: “The meaning of the first hands: strong in obedience and worshiping God. The meaning of visions: deep insight and jurisdiction in religion. And the meaning of line-ups: Allah specializes them in mentioning the Hereafter and those whose hearts do not neglect it.”

The statement notes that Muslims bear witness to Abraham’s name in prayer five times daily — a living, constant bond that no political project can sever. Iraq, as the country of Ibrahim Khalil Rahman and the country of ancient civilizations, carries a spiritual weight and a civilizational responsibility that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s proxy project seeks to hijack and exploit.

We, as original Iraqis, are in our country — and from the outset of moral duty and religious commitment towards the nation of Abraham, peace be upon him, we speak.
— Abu Musa Al-Iraqi, Abrahamic Movement in Iraq
Responding to Iranian-Guided Propaganda

The statement was issued in direct response to statements from Abdullah Al-Dakuq — described as a figure expelled from Bahrain and stripped of his Bahraini citizenship for supporting Iranian-backed terrorist groups, who now operates from Iran and Iraqi territory under the guidance of the Revolutionary Guard. The Movement charges that Al-Dakuq has been deployed to distort religious texts and spread disinformation about the Abrahamic Movement and its theological positions.

The statement’s response is unequivocal: “You are not welcome in Iraq except to be followed by misguided people who try to control their minds with false slogans and false narratives.”

Addressing his theological challenge directly, the Movement invokes the Quran’s own testimony to the unity of the Abrahamic faiths:

“O you who have believed, believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book that was sent down to His Messenger and the book that was sent down before. Whoever disbelieves in Allah and His angels and His Book and His Messenger and in the Last Day will surely be strayed.”
Surah Al-Nisa, Verse 136
“We have revealed to you as We have revealed to Noah and the Prophets after him — and We have revealed to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Yaqoob, Isa, Job, Yunus, Haroon, and Suleiman, and We have given Dawood Zaboor.”
Surah Al-Nisa, Verse 163

The Movement’s theological argument is precise: the Abrahamic heavenly religions — as confirmed in the Holy Quran — form one continuous tradition from Abraham through Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. One of the six pillars of Islamic faith is belief in all the books and all the messengers, with no distinction between them. Abrahamism, therefore, is not a foreign concept imposed from outside — it is the Quran’s own framework.

Iran’s Documented Ambition to Control Iraq

The statement moves from theology to political reality — presenting a documented record of Iranian regime officials and publications explicitly declaring the ambition to control Iraq as an imperial extension of Persian-Iranian power.

Documented Iranian Declarations on Iraq — On the Record

1
Ali Younsi (Senior Iranian Official): “Iraq is the capital of our empire as it was in the past, and Iraq and Iran are inseparable.” — A statement in which an Iranian official openly frames Iraq as the capital of a renewed Persian imperial project.
2
Ali Akbar Larijani (Iranian Political Leader): “Iran will not allow the formation of an Iraqi government or for Iraq to take a political path that is against our regional interests.” — A direct assertion of Iranian veto power over Iraqi sovereign governance.
3
Qasim Soleimani (IRGC Quds Force Commander): Memoirs documenting his personal management of the Iraq file on behalf of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard — confirming the IRGC’s operational control over Iraqi political and military actors.
4
“Political Currents” by Fatima Al-Amadi: Describes Iraq explicitly as “the back garden and a vital ground for Iranian national security” — framing the country as an Iranian geopolitical asset rather than a sovereign state.
5
“Axis of Shia” by Wali Nasr: Reviews Iran’s goals in filling the political void in Iraq and “turning the decision compass in Baghdad to Tehran” — a scholarly account of the deliberate Iranian strategy to subordinate Iraqi political decision-making.

The Movement argues that the militia reality Iraqis live daily — corruption, waste of public funds, destruction of economic and social systems, erosion of moral values, and the transformation of Iraq into a hub for drug and weapons smuggling — is the direct product of this Iranian project. The creation of a smuggling corridor between Syria and Lebanon, through which weapons are distributed globally, passes through Iranian-controlled territory in Iraq.

Iran wanted to build these projects in Iraq and the Middle East through its militias. She is the one carrying out terrorist acts to apply the so-called export of the Islamic Revolution — and all the peoples and countries of the Middle East are a living witness to these interventions.

The Abrahamic Alternative — Peace for Iraq and the World

Against the backdrop of this Iranian project, the Abrahamic Movement in Iraq presents its own vision: a Middle East that chooses the path of Abraham over the path of the Revolutionary Guard. A region that, in the words of the statement, pursues “Abrahamic peace, which serves humanity and preserves the dignity of the human soul, which Allah Almighty commanded to preserve and honor.”

This vision is grounded not in political ideology but in Islamic jurisprudence itself — the Maqasid al-Shariah, the purposes of Islamic Law, which include the preservation and honoring of the soul as its central command. The statement argues that the construction of the earth, not the export of revolution through armed proxies, is the sound nature upon which humanity was created.

“The Abrahamic peace gathers us together.”

“Peace for the Middle East.”

“Peace for all humanity.”
