MUSLIMS IN THE WEST-BE WISE; DON’T GET ENTANGLED IN CONFLICT TOO EARLY- by Sh Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi (fa) Muslims Should Not Get Entangled in Beginning the Conflict with the Regimes Too Early, While They Are Still in a State of Weakness and Are Incapable of Concluding the Conflict Likewise, I give you the same advice that I give to Muslims in a state of weakness in general, in every land in which they do not have a plan for [conducting] armed confrontation with the regimes under which they live, due to the weakness of their abilities, the fact that the circumstances are not ripe, or because the place is unfitting for such [a confrontation], or for other reasons that are to be evaluated by those knowledgeable about the reality [of this country], the [Muslims] abilities, and the stage that has been reached in their proselytizing. [I advise them] to not get entangled in beginning the conflict with the regimes too early, while they are still in a state of weakness and are incapable of concluding this conflict, while they are still lacking in expertise and abilities, and while their strategy at the present time does not allow this. I advise them, as long as they are incapable [of armed confrontation], to occupy themselves with calling people to belief in Allahs unity, as I said earlier, and to be good ambassadors for the Islamic nation. They should demonstrate the morals of Islam in their dealings with people. They should not betray others or act treacherously or dishonestly. They have an excellent role model in the Prophet, Allahs prayer and peace be upon him. [The Muslims] must avoid the ills of Western societies and their permissiveness, and keep their children away from these ills. They must strive to create Islamic alternatives in which to raise them and educate them. They should live in communities close to one another that are in mutual contact, act in solidarity, and aid one another in obedience to Allah and in reverence and piety, so as to inoculate themselves to the temptations of those countries and so as to hold fast together to the rope of Allah. They should abandon internal quarrels and fortify their communities against the penetration of outsiders, people with wrongheaded notions, and the unorthodox sects, until Allah grants the establishment of the Islamic state that rules by the sharia and hoists the banner of Allahs unity. At that time they will be obligated to emigrate to the Islamic state, and it will not be permitted to live in the lands of unbelief under the rule of unbelievers. I ask Allah the Exalted to grant me and you obedience to Him, and that He use us all to champion His religion. Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi
