(PART 2) Words of advice to the brethren leaving for Jihād || by -martyred brother Sayyid ( rahimahullah.) So take this as your way in each and everything that you do. Know that if Allāh commands you to do a thing you must follow without questions or compromising.And if you think that it is not wise to implement Allāh’s commands in the current situation due certain reasons, know that you are wrong in your assumption. And what Allāh has ordered has all the maslaha in it, while what you think from your incapable mind which contradicts that what Allāh and His prophet had said has all the mafsada in it. “For Allāh knows but you do not know”.This is a very important principle which we see many people who are engaged in the Dawah deviating from. They think the theories which they themselves and their shuyūkh make in order to make Allāh’s word most supreme, are better than the path on which the prophet SAW and the Sahāba walked on. They think their theories are full of wisdom and intelligence because they avoid with there ‘Hikma’ all the confrontation from the people and the tughāt. And they criticize those who walk on the path of the prophet SAW and the sahāba, on the clear millat of Ibrahīm, For they see these people are the one being arrested, jailed, beaten and killed for being on truth. And due to these strong heroes, who inspires even the enemies, they falsehood of these evil scholars becomes apparent and the false compromising they do becomes naked. But know that these theories which the these evil scholars think and plot are only made to save their ‘prosper’ way of life.They would design a road map in which they would never have to sacrifice anything in the path of Allāh. Such a ‘wise’ map in which their wealth, posh cars, grand palaces, nice perfumes, high posts in the apostate regimes and their friendship with the enemies of Allāh are saved and preserved.A map in which they can even adopt kufr systems like capitalism, democracy or even they can get registered in those Taghūt regimes in the names of parties and associations so they can avoid all the confrontation with these ‘legal’ (as they think) and ‘wise’ way.And if they see a Muslim confronting these Tughāt, with his tongue and teeth, not compromising in anything which Allāh has ordered him, and following on his path the milestones which Allāh and His messenger has placed for him… they will start to criticize him, out cast him as a fool and a person who is unaware of the wise ways from which better results come (although the only result they get is more slavery for the taghūt and dishonor for Muslims). For the forged false piece of glass which is cut like a diamond only becomes clear when the true diamond is seen to people.So the good results that they say, is in reality the slavery they have to do to these tughāts in which they hide the clear proofs to buy with it a small amount of dinars and dirhams, while with that compromising in which he is a slave to the taghūt and his laws in this world and he follows the taghut in the hereafter. And this method saves his prosper way of life in this finite world for a limited time, while Muslims are suffering worldwide.The evil scholars say that they (the brothers of Jihad and Tawheed) are just young people with no knowledge, just people with ‘blind hamas’, and people who are short sighted and people with no ‘patience’ (which really means ‘not to act on the obligations which comes due to circumstances which befalls the Ummah, rather run with your own interests like studying and teaching (while leaving what is more obligatory like Jihad), business…etc’ ), and from Allāh we seek help over what they ascribe to us.O brothers and sisters don’t be amongst those who were ascribed as fools by AllāhThe fools among the people will say, “What has turned them (Muslims) from their Qiblah] to which they were used to face in prayer.” Say, (O Muhammad SAW) “To Allâh belong both, east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a Straight Way.”This implies on each and every person, whom after Allāh’s commands comes to him, he gives priority to his incapable brain over Allāh’s most wise saying. And he starts reasoning with his ignorant mind, and say why not this and why not that? And the Haraj from his heart doesn’t become clear for the proofs are against his desires and the full submission is not founded as these misguided people would be seen following there own desires.But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission.But rather, our way must be:The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to Allâh (His Words, the Qur’ân) and His Messenger (SAW), to judge between them, is that they say: “We hear and we obey.” And such are the prosperous ones (who will live forever in Paradise).And we must know with that we have no choice but to obey and refer all our affairs to Allāh and His prophet SAW:It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.And we must never like those who say:They (hypocrites) say: “We have believed in Allâh and in the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and we obey,” then a party of them turn away thereafter, such are not believers.And when they are called to Allâh (i.e. His Words, the Qur’ân) and His Messenger (SAW), to judge between them, lo! a party of them refuse (to come) and turn away.But if the right is with them, they come to him willingly with submission.Is there a disease in their hearts? Or do they doubt or fear lest Allâh and His Messenger (SAW) should wrong them in judgment. Nay, it is they themselves who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists, hypocrites and wrong-doers, etc.).So basing upon the verses above, one must know that Qur’an and Sunnah are the only guidance we must refer to. Whoever is on that path is right. Whoever is not on that path is on error and misguidance.Also after the decree of Allāh and his messenger, we must never look at our left or the right. We must never seek a misguidance besides the clear guidance of Qur’an and Sunnah. We must never even ask why this was obligated and why wasn’t this obligated? We must know that this implies in all the aspects of our life.So O Slave of Rahman, if you want to walk on the noble path to make Allāh’s word most supreme, make this your way. And follow what Allāh and his prophet SAW have said in situations regardless what the general mass say, that is if they lack a daleel. And leave your knowledge to the One who knows everything. If you follow this path you will be guided. And you will certainly reach your goal.So don’t you see the fact that the prophet SAW did establish the Land of Islam even in his lifetime? And while the people who are not on his guidance to bring Islam are up to this date struggling? The best methodology to achieve the goals to which we are striving in the fields of Dawah was shown to us by the prophet SAW.See and ponder how Allāh guided in each and every step which was taken by the prophet SAW in this harsh path, and see how Allāh made the path clear to the prophet SAW and the sahāba as how to walk on this path which is now so much misunderstood to the people of this time. See how Allāh did make that noble group so disciplined, and see how Allāh explains all the sicknesses which occurs in that society and its cure, see how Allāh explains that His guidance is the true guidance and the only guidance to follow.So see how He would at places say“ follow not their desires”and say “if you follow their desires after the knowledge which came to you, then you are amongst the oppressors”and he would assure the prophet SAW saying that he is on truth and advise him regarding the nature of the disbelievers “ they wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so they (too) would compromise with you.”So in brief Allāh guided His prophet SAW in the struggle to make His word most supreme, in each and every step. So know that the matter is Tawgīfī. So follow the guidance of Allāh and His messenger in each and every step in your fierce struggle. And in this the result will be like the results they achieved. And there is no doubt about it. It is as simple as if we add two with two, the result will always be four. Never five or three. So think this in both ways. If we differ in our calculation the result will be different. ‘For only if we stand like them, we’ll achieve victory as they have achieved’.“They are those whom Allâh had guided. So follow their guidance”“And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al-Muttaqûn”And under this topic I would like to add some more points. That one must know that when Allāh SW has said “This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion” it means that each and everything regarding Islam has been perfected from how it should be acted upon and how it should be preached or implemented, as stated above. Nothing needs to be added to Islam. “and your Lord is never forgetful”And the guidance of the Prophet is the best of guidance. So learn this in each and every aspect of life. and follow the ways of the prophet SAW and sahāba in each and everything that you do without differing even an inch. Do this, if you want to see the same results. For now we see that we have adopted in many things, matters which were not from Islam or which differs from the way which was in the first generations of Islam.As an example in our learning and teaching, see how corrupted the systems has become which are now adopted by Muslims, and how the Muslims are following the ways of Kuffār in this regard. And the results are disastrous and not fruitful. See how perfect the first generation was and what came after that, and even in the times of the pious scholars who came after hundreds of years. See how fruitful that system was, while the current systems we have adopted in most of our Islamic Universities by copying the systems of Kuffār have failed to bring but a handful of useful people. And most of these useful people are people who stood up against these systems.And nowadays we see among many faculties like engineering and medical…etc, we see Islamic faculty amongst those. As if Islam is a knowledge for us to learn for itself. So they give BA’s MA’s and PhD’s for the graduates and these graduates use it like any other would use with his medical certificate or engineering certificate like finding a job based on it, and he would issue verdicts which incites people to sit back from each and every place where action, blood and sweat is needed. For he himself learned it like that. And he saw his teachers like that who were mostly paid by the Taghūts. Who were always silent asking them to be patient when Muslims are being killed and torn. They make this knowledge something, which is sought for the sake of knowing and not for the sake of implementing. So this made the mean to gain the objective to be the objective. This made his thinking so limited that he couldn’t think out of this scope. And he could never even dream that his teachers could be on a wrong way even if he sees them not acting over clear matters like Hijrah and Jihad. So now we see a whole generation of youth stuck in this fitnah. They learned compromising and servitude to the tughāts and sheihk worshipping, and that is exactly what they teach. So observe the difference of results when we differ in methodology.So follow the guidance of the prophet and the Sahāba in each and every matter, and do not worry even if the people accuse you to be ‘back warded’ or even if see this adopted by the mass and even the from the scholars whom you respect. For the best guidance is in Qur’an and Sunnah. So don’t even think on the consequences of your action if you are on a clear daleel, for the best outcome will be in your favor if you are on the path of the Sahāba. And the criticizers do not know what is best for them, but Allāh and His prophet knows.The matter of education is just a single example and the examples are many. Like the sheikhhood, Allāma and other commonly used words which we never saw practiced as we practice it nowadays which becomes ‘a praise’ in the face sometimes. And these has lead many to take these scholars to be flawless and to blind follow them and take them as idols besides Allaah.We have opened our eyes in such an age of darkness that we see many matters which are not from Islam in the cloak of Islam, so beware of those matters and don’t practice or promote it in your words or actions. And from Allāh help is sought.Also another point to be noted is that, one must be certain and sure that his scales should be according to what Allāh and His prophet has taught. His scale in everything he measures, from right and wrong, from nice and ugly, from good and bad, from clean and ugly, from those whom he must follow from those whom he must reject, from respect to disrespect must be weighed according to Qur’an and Sunnah. So he must never make his culture or traditions or the kufr education he has received from his secular schools to be with what he weighs anything.This mistake has lead many people to not comprehend many realities of Islam. As the viruses of culture and other similar matters becomes a preventing factor from understanding things according to Islam. Like the matter of the permissibility of the wealth of Kuffār. They weigh this matter on the ‘destructive concepts’ they have unknowingly adopted from the secular schools. So they are caught in doubt when one says the wealth of Kuffār is permissible and we can take it where ever we find it (excludes the mu’āhad..etc). For they find uneasiness in their souls and think that this is ‘robbery’ and ‘looting’.And in this regard we must make our technical language the language of Qur’an and Sunnah, and we must know that words would only carry the meaning to which the Qur’an and Sunnah had carried. NOT to what the secular teachers, cultures, environments and traditions has taught us. And we must proudly use those terminologies without any hesitation. Like the word ‘civilian’ which in reality carries no meaning whatsoever in Islam so we must not use that word but rather use the language which the Qur’an and Sunnah taught us in this matter. So in realty our tradition, culture, nationality and environment must be Islam rather than Islamizing those.And another point I must note is that, we must not make Qur’an and Sunnah to be what follows a group or organization or scholar. But rather how much a group or organization or scholar has gained in success, these must follow Qur’an and Sunnah. We must understand mistakes might occur from them. So in these circumstances we must defend the Qur’an and Sunnah, not everything these people or organizations do. This is now a spreading disease in us.As when we see a mistake from those whom we respect or follow, we try to protect that mistake and justify it using history and events which are not even fit to take evidence. And this in reality is even a downfall for these people or organizations if one thinks in the bigger out comes. So we must understand that Usama (may Allāh protect him) and Al Qaeda also might make a mistake for they are merely humans following Qur’an and Sunnah. So if they make a mistake you must understand that it is a mistake and must never try to justify it and never try to hide it to protect them (with false arguments) but you must tell that to the necessary people as to advise not to corrupt.And if the same mistakes are found in people or organizations which we don’t follow, we see ourselves hastening in refuting and criticizing them, even some times being so harsh as to take them totally out of the fold of Islam.So O slave of Allāh, carry a just heart which weighs everything, even your own concepts and beliefs according to Qur’an and Sunnah then you will attain success in this world and next.A chapter under know your priorityKnow O lion of Islam whose intention is only to achieve the pleasure of Allaah with the help of Allaah, for the love of Allaah, through implementing Tawheed and eliminating Shirk by the best of means to order good and forbid the Munkar, which is Jihad, with patience and with reliance on Allaah alone! Know that as there are callers to this noble path, as there are people who have left the milestones written with their blood, guiding you to the path of Jihad, whose words are like:See you not how Allah sets forth a parable? – A goodly word as a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the sky (i.e. very high).Giving its fruit at all times, by the Leave of its Lord and Allah sets forth parables for mankind in order that they may remember,And like that you will find many who will try to stop you from this path with weak arguments with no stability:And the parable of an evil word is that of an evil tree uprooted from the surface of earth having no stability.But in the end the best outcome is in the favor of the believers:Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping Allah Alone and none else), and in the Hereafter.And Allah will cause to go astray those who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), and Allah does what He wills.So O the one who walks on this path, in order to reach your goal without deviation, it is essential that you must be aware of the paths of the wrong doers. It is important for you to have knowledge as to recognize the falsehood when you see it. It is essential that the argumentations and doubts which the satans and the enemies of this religion create be cleared lest it may prevent you with the help Allaah from falling in one of the trenches which these enemies have dug in your path.Know that these Satans I am talking of comes in many forms, in the form of your parents, your closest friends and advisors, your respected wise men, and the worst form of it is when it comes under the cloaks of Islam and Sunnah, when it comes under the cloak of ‘great notable’ scholars, who are worshipped like idols. When it comes from the people who brought you up while teaching you. Who gave you the first spoons of knowledge. Who are respected by you as flawless mountains of knowledge. Who are known to be Mujaddids and Muhaddiths of this nation. Those whom you used to defend with your tongue and teeth. When these idols of knowledge come with arguments it becomes impossible for their student to say that these idols which I so much worshipped could be on a false way. So after seeing this, the student is dumb folded as not knowing what to decide. If I walk on the path of the Mujaahideen, then does this mean that the idols of knowledge would be crushed? Or are the Mujaahideen the people with shortsightedness as my idol of knowledge tells?This roots from the fact that these students where brought up trained to totally blind follow their teachers without thinking in the least. So somehow knowing or unknowingly priority is been given to these Idols over the clear statements of the Allaah and His Prophet. And you will see them defending these idols when the teachers have breached the clear proofs which even the children are aware of. You’ll see them getting worried when the falsehood of their idol from whom many paths of deviation are made permissible and many paths to guidance and good are being forbidden, are being explained. They will say the fleshes of the scholars are poisoned, so don’t get near it. Although this scholar would be seen poisoning the clear understanding of the texts while twisting those texts to the benefit of their masters from the tawagheet. So we rather leave the texts be poisoned than explaining the deviation in which the scholar has occurred in?And you will see these students trying to divert you from the reality of the matter saying ‘why waste time on such matters?’. And the same person would be seen writing books and articles praising those false scholars. Or you will find him defending in each and every way providing patches to the nudity which becomes apparent to a just heart. And when this person knows that the patches would no longer be of benefit, then at this time he will waste his time going to lengths advising that talking on these topics (which crushes the false idols of knowledge from the scholars of the govt.) is just a waste of time.And their twists and tricks are not unknown to us. And for Allaah is all the praise.So under another topic I have mentioned that we must love Allaah and His messenger the most so that our faith would be complete. This also includes that you leave the saying of everyone in front the saying of Allaah and His messenger. And this is the way of the noble salaf as you can see in their words.Coming back to our topic after this introduction, one must be clear on the fact that no human is innocent of mistakes except the Prophet SAW. And the saying of everybody must be left for Allaah and His messenger must be our manhaj. Now if you have cured your heart from the sickness of sheikh worshipping and blind following and if you have elevated your selves from being mere cattle shepherded by people to whom you have entrusted your brain and heart, you will have a clearer understanding of what will follow.From here we will start explaining falsehood and weak arguments which are always repeated by the parrots of the Tughaat, and even by sincere brothers, who are mislead by evil scholars, or even by sincere scholars who are unaware of how evil should be rooted out. So what follows might contain texts which might be severe, but it is not directed towards our brothers rather to the hypocrites who hide under the cloaks of Talafiyya and its likes.So we begin and from Allaah we ask all the help.They will say: O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a Fire….So they will say rather than going to countries far away to perform Jihad you must stay here in your family and your countries to preach them Islam and to save them from fire…This misunderstanding roots from their ignorance in some important parts which each and every muslim must carry.First they have taken an understanding from this verse which differs from how the Sahaaba took it. The prophet SAW did not stop from making Hijrah to Madinah due the reason that members of his family were yet on kufr. Neither did this stop any of the Sahaaba. But they left their families and migrated for Allaah’s cause to places from where they can implement Islam. To this extent that they even left their wives and children if they refused. So the matter is to respond to the bigger obligation. Not mixing it up as mentioned in another chapter. So taking care of your family and calling them to Islam is a responsibility over you, but when Jihad is fardh ayn and when the lands you live in have become Dar kufr, and when dar Islam’s are made in which shareeah is implemented while your land rots with the stench of the man made laws, it becomes obligatory for you to migrate and to perform Jihad.So saving ourselves and families from fire doesn’t carry any meaning that we have to stay in the country that we were born to do that, this was never mentioned in the verse. But saving ourselves first and our families really means that we have to make them act on what is obligatory. That is in reality saving them.Lets go to the depths of this verse and the verses which follows. As the answer consists in these verses for even the naked eye. First it says save your selves, as the man will be asked about himself first and then about what he took care. So the first is important than the second. So the man himself is the one to whom the questions will be directed, and then he will be asked about the ones who are attached to him. So in this case he will first act on what is obligatory over him, if he wants to attain the objective from the verse that is salvation from fire. And in order to do this he must understand the order of obligations. The order is he will have to act upon the obligation no matter who acts or rejects its. If the rejecters are from those who are under his authority, he must take them out of the fold of his authority (if they persist in their ways) and go on with the obligation. Then he will be saved for they will be not under his authority then. But if he stops from doing what is obligatory until the people under his authority acts on it, he will be sinning until he fulfills what is obligatory over him. And he will not be saved from fire for he neither saved himself nor his family from fire.See how these meanings are explained clearly in the following verses about the wife of Loot and Nooh. Look how these prophets left those who were under their authority and went on with what Allaah made obligatory over them when their family refused to join them on the caravans of salvation. Nooh even left his own child and went on with the obligation that Allaah has ordered. And look how Allaah explains that these prophets are not responsible for the kufr of their families for they left them to fulfill the obligation which Allaah has commanded them. Now this part is for the person who is given authority over others.Now the following verse about the wife of pharaoh is about the fact that you don’t have to listen to what the authorities say when they are on other than what Allaah commanded, but rather you have to follow what Allaah commanded. For the pharaoh is the authority over his wife, but here Allaah explains how priorities must be understood, that it is first yourself then your family, not that you have to wait to fulfill the obligation until your family does it. Whether you are the authority or the one governed.So know your obligations and how to handle it and don’t fall in to this misconception which most people take to stay in the lands of kufr to enjoy (for a limited time) a worldly benefit. But rather act on what is obligatory over you.The second part is their saying ‘your countries’. This originates from the misconception of what the real country of a Muslim should be. This originates from the fact that he has taken the language of the kuffaar to understand a verse from the Qur’an (and even the verse doesn’t carry this meaning). He has taken the lines which the Zionists drew in the lands of Islam, giving it to their agents to rule with their laws as his country. He has forgotten the fact that his country is each and everyplace where Islam is implemented even if he never reaches it. And he forgets that wherever Islam is not implemented cannot be his country even though he was born or died on it. So our nationality is Islam and our country is Dar Islam. And this love to make our ‘lands of kufr’ better, roots from the matter that we are unaware that this love for the country is a form of jaahiliyya.Third part is ‘preach to its people’. Now this misconception is also due to the fact that they have not understood the verse in accordance to the understanding of the Sahaaba. This is also due to misunderstanding the order of obligations. One must understand that giving dawah is a fardh kifaaya and at times a fardh ayn. And performing jihad and making Hijrah when if both of these are fardh ayn, the importance of these two becomes more wajib than staying back and giving dawah. And a person who stays back from jihad when it is fardh ayn saying I am staying here to make dawah, has mixed up his priorities. For when jihad was fardh ayn, non stood back from the sahaaba with this claim. Rather they all went out with the exception of those whom Allaah excused. And Allaah was very severe on those who stood back. This is as a person cannot stay without performing prayer until the time passes claiming that I am doing an obligation. So this person is saving people with his dawah while he himself is preparing a pit for him in hell, for he is staying back from the most obligatory matters. So will a sane person do this? Like wise Jihad, must be understood in this way, when it is a fardh ayn like the current times.People hold back from going to the lands of Jihad claiming that they stay in their lands to over throw the taaghuts…For these people we advice if you are staying back to obey Allaah’s orders then know that going to Jihad when it is a fardh Ayn is more obligatory, which is most obligatory after Eeman. Like what is observed in our current times. These claims under which you hide lest your comfortable life may be lost are but excuses you show to stay back from jihad. And if your intention was pure we will not see you compromising at many obligations while you are at it. If you are sincere, then face these taghuts on the millat of the Khaleelein without any compromise and then if this is the case then, we will really know that you are sincere in your claim. But if you are tackling this, by joining the democratic system or by making associations which doesn’t forbid munkar and neither calls for mau’roof, rather they get involved in things which the taghut likes and gives permission as if this religion is a buffet for them to eat from what they like and leave what they like to enter paradise, while they don’t abide to the basic fundamentals of Wala and Bara, then we know that you are liars in your claims! And what you only desire is to protect your way of life. For you are not doing what is obligatory over you. But rather you are joking with the religion and its people, deceiving them. Rather the likes of you are seen saying to the brothers who are on the Millat of Khaleelein and on the path of Jihad “Lo! the hypocrites say, and those in whose hearts is a disease: “These people,- their religion has misled them.” But if any trust in Allah, behold! Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.”So if this is done for Allaah’s command, why do you hold back when something becomes more obligatory over you? Do you think anybody can be deceived if one says that ‘he is missing obligatory prayers to give dawah?’ do you think that even a person with the minor understanding of Islam would think this to be logical apart from the shareeah point of view? But O deceiver to his own soul this is exactly what you are doing. You have stayed back from doing what is more obligatory over you, that is Jihad in the current times.And if you think in a bigger scope, you will understand that the overthrowing of the tughaats would be from the results of Jihad. For once you migrate to the lands of jihad and give your share to the implementation of the two fundamentals; you are in reality contributing to over throw these tughaats. For these lands will expand (bi ithnillaah) with flag of tawheed fluttering high. And once these lands expand, it will eventually over throw all the rulers who don’t rule with what Allaah revealed.In another perspective, what is the goal that you want to achieve by over throwing these tughaats? Is it to implement the shareeah? Then in reality you must understand that upon what is obligatory over you, is to be in a place where you don’t get ruled by the taghuts rules, so if this is your goal, then migrate to the lands of Jihad where you are not bounded by the rules of the taghut. And this is the way in which you will not be sinful, as you are fulfilling what is obligatory over you. And this is really understanding your priorities. For how could one stay in a place where he is ruled by the laws of taghut’s being sinful due to that, claiming that he is staying there to over throw the taghut? And if he is truthful then he must abide to the Millat of Khaleelein, then he will not be sinful. But if one doesn’t have this eeman in him, he must at least forbid it in his heart. And forbidding by the heart is to stay away from those places by migrating, not to be in the middle of it without forbidding.In another perspective, the taghuts in the most lands where muslims are a majority, are but roots from the real core. So even if one over throws these tughats by going through democratic systems, the first taghut would be replaced by a latter one. But if one takes Jihad as his means (which is fought for the implementation of the two fundamentals) to over throw him then, in that case the good results will come. So if a group of people lack this capability, then they must migrate to places where shareeah is implemented, as to not to fit under the verse of “Lo! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah’s earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey’s end.”And the unity of this Ummah will only be achieved if they are gathered under one banner, but if all stays back with this claim, then the only thing we will achieve is disunity.All of this was to make you understand the fruits of Jihad in which you see only with your limited sight, blood being spilled and your wealth and the rest being lost. But the real Hukm now is that we must migrate to the places where Jihad is being done, as it is a fardh ayn, and the rulings of this is well known.They will say “excuse me and do not put me to trials….”This is again another misconception raised by the deceivers of their own souls to stay back from going to jihad. They will say this in a bit modified way nowadays. That is: ‘we are weak in Eeman and knowledge, so if we go to Jihad with this limited knowledge and Eeman the satan might come and put us to trials, and we might not be able to make Jihad Nafs, and we will be in trails as a result of it.’Subhaanallaah! Allaah has spoken the truth! For He says “their hearts has become alike….” so we have a questions to these deceivers, is the Eeman and knowledge only sought in your cute adobes, and universities? Or under the shuyookh who don’t even sweat for the cause of Allaah?What did you think O deceiver of his own soul? Do you claim that Eeman can be learned while not sweating in Allaah’s cause? While not bleeding in Allaah’s course? While not facing trials in Allaah’s path? Then you are wrong! Rather we understand that these are but excuses from you to stay back! For Eeman and knowledge can only be understood by action, not by learning it without acting on it.Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much.Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!But in reality your staying back from Jihad with this claim is the real trail in which you are falling! As Allaah says in the completion of the verse “…Lo in the fitnah (trial, kufr) they have fallen and the Hell encompasses the disbelievers”.For your merely staying back from Jihad is a fitnah in itself! But the hypocrites understands not.So what do you say about the Sahabi who came to a war and said “shall I fight or embrace Islam?” the prophet SAW said “embrace Islam and fight!” so this sahaabi fought and he was martyred. He did not even prostate to Allaah once! So how knowledgeable was he? And how much has he read the books of Jihad Nafs while staying in cool places where all the foods of every color was available? And are you saying the person who told him to embrace Islam was not as wise as you or the misguided scholars you blind follow? Woe on you, for you are but deceiving your own soul!Also see after the conquest of Makkah, the prophet SAW was there for a month, then he went to the battle of Hunein with the new sahaabi’s who became Muslims. So was this another unwise act? Or if you were in that time would you rather suggest that the prophet must leave the new sahaabi’s of Islam to learn how to make Jihad Nafs? “and what is wrong with you, that how are you judging?”O ye who believe! Be not like the Unbelievers, who say of their brethren, when they are traveling through the Earth or engaged in fighting: “If they had stayed with us, they would not have died, or been slain.” This that Allah may make it a cause of sighs and regrets in their hearts. It is Allah that gives Life and Death, and Allah sees well all that ye doAnd “(They are) the ones that say, (of their brethren slain), while they themselves sit (at ease): “If only they had listened to us they would not have been slain.” Say: “Avert death from your own selves, if ye speak the truth.”The hypocrites of our age again twists these wordings and modify it and say “see what happens when you do things unwisely, we are so sad over our brothers who have died in Afghanistan from Taaliban and Al Qaida, we always advised them to be more wise and don’t let your hamas blind you. But they would not listen for if they have listened “they would not have died, or been slain”. These words are uttered in places where they are in front of people who have love for this religion. But when they are alone with the devils from the tughats and their helpers from the police and so on, the sad tone leaves their tongues and suddenly their status becomes to this “And when they meet those who believe, they say: “We believe,” but when they are alone with their Shayatin (devils – polytheists, hypocrites, etc.), they say: “Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking.”And the soft words to this “Covetous over you. Then when fear comes, thou wilt see them looking to thee, their eyes revolving, like (those of) one over whom hovers death: but when the fear is past, they will smite you with sharp tongues, covetous of goods. Such men have no faith, and so Allah has made their deeds of none effect: and that is easy for Allah.”.They speak as if the consequences are what determine what we should act from what we should leave!So what about the story of the people of the ditch? Or rather would you be seen as an apostate that day, by changing your religion? Or should they not act upon what is obligatory over them?Or even forming of Madina, when the prophet knew its consequence of how the whole world would come to make war with it? So rather the prophet SAW must stay without making a Dar Islam according to your saying? Fie on you and on what you say!Rather ponder on these verses which were as if it was revealed about you:After (the excitement) of the distress, He sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred to anxiety by their own feelings, Moved by wrong suspicions of Allah-suspicions due to ignorance. They said: “What affair is this of ours?” Say thou: “Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah’s.” They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to thee. They say (to themselves): “If we had had anything to do with this affair, We should not have been in the slaughter here.” Say: “Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death”; but (all this was) that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts. For Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts.“Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!” If some good befalls them, they say, “This is from Allah”; but if evil, they say, “This is from thee” (O Prophet). Say: “All things are from Allah.” But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact?Disputing with thee concerning the truth after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death and they (actually) saw it.Say: “Running away will not profit you if ye are running away from death or slaughter; and even if (ye do escape), no more than a brief (respite) will ye be allowed to enjoy!”So our answer for you O deceivers of your own souls is:Say: Can ye await for us aught save one of two good things (death or victory in Allah’s way)? while we await for you that Allah will afflict you with a doom from Him or at our hands. Await then! Lo! We are awaiting with you.So isn’t in the death of Khalid Ibn Waleed, an example for the cowards who fear death?As for you O brother of tawheed do not let these hypocrites divert you from the real path! All they want is to make an excuse to protect their way of life, which based on oppression. And they would not want you to go, for if you go they will be exposed to the people. So to avoid this they will give you names and call you a deviant. But do not worry and do not care! Even if this hypocrite comes in the name of a Mujaddid or a Muhaddith or a community leader do not be deceived. Allaah has explained their features, so know them with it.Before coming to an end….There are some verses I would like you to think about…Those are:Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.So, when you meet (in fight Jihad in Allah’s Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islam), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allah to continue in carrying out Jihad against the disbelievers till they embrace Islam (i.e. are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire) or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allah’s Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost,He will guide them and set right their state.And admit them to Paradise which He has made known to them (i.e. they will know their places in Paradise more than they used to know their houses in the world).O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allah, He will help you, and make your foothold firm.Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Taurat; and their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great Reward.O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- lowly with the believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of the reproaches of such as find fault. That is the grace of Allah, which He will bestow on whom He pleaseth. And Allah encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things.Muhammad is no more than a messenger: many Were the messenger that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then Turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah; but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude.And say not of those who are killed in the Way of Allah, “They are dead.” Nay, they are living, but you perceive (it) not.And if you are killed or die in the Way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all that they amass (of worldly wealths, etc.).And whether you die, or are killed, verily, unto Allah you shall be gathered.And reckon not those who are killed in Allah’s way as dead; nay, they are alive (and) are provided sustenance from their Lord;They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His Bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve.So their Lord accepted of them (their supplication and answered them), “Never will I allow to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female. You are (members) one of another, so those who emigrated and were driven out from their homes, and suffered harm in My Cause, and who fought, and were killed (in My Cause), verily, I will remit from them their evil deeds and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise); a reward from Allah, and with Allah is the best of rewards.And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise).These will be those nearest to Allah.In the Gardens of delight (Paradise).A multitude of those (foremost) will be from the first generations (who embraced Islam).And a few of those (foremost) will be from the later time (generations).(They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones,Reclining thereon, face to face.They will be served by immortal boys,With cups, and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wineWherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication.And fruit; that they may choose.And the flesh of fowls that they desire.And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious),Like unto preserved pearls.A reward for what they used to do.No Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech (like backbiting, etc.).But only the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace) !And strive hard in Allah’s Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship, it is the religion of your father Ibrahim (Abraham) (Islamic Monotheism). It is He (Allah) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Quran), that the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind! So perform As*Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), give Zakat and hold fast to Allah [i.e. have confidence in Allah, and depend upon Him in all your affairs] He is your Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.), what an Excellent Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.) and what an Excellent Helper!And in the end:And they will say: “All the praises and thanks be to Allah Who has fulfilled His Promise to us and has made us inherit (this) land. We can dwell in Paradise where we will; how excellent a reward for the (pious good) workers!”And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne (of Allah) from all round, glorifying the praises of their Lord (Allah). And they (all the creatures) will be judged with truth, and it will be said. All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).All praises to Allaah with His help this letter is complete. Your brother in Islam ~Sayyid~
