Who's in for Iraaq?

Assalaamu'Alaykum,

By, Shaykh Abdul Azeez bin Ra'ees ar-Raees.

I thought this was very good because you have a lot of threads which refer to the fact that Ummah needs to wake up or the position we are in.

Its an introduction, but i will be buying it.

P.S: I was going to post this in the Islamic Article Library - Ummah in Conflict section, but considering this needs to be read, it will Insha'Allah receive more hits.

Walaykum Salam

As-salaamu `alaykum.

Assalaamu'Alaykum,

May the blessings of Allah be upon you.

Salaam,

The intorduction was powerful. I think ,and please forgive me for my lack of knowledge, it would be useful if we could develop a post on some vital vocabulary words. This would allow many to read and have a reference point. Having two respected brothers respond on this is excellent and I pray Allah subhana talla continues to bless you with more knowledge to teach us.

Walaykum Salam,

Subhaan'Allah, i need to teach myself first so as to then help others, plus there is many brothers and sisters who will for sure know more. I don't like read long text on a monitor, but i did this time without rushing, so it helped more. Alhamdulilah.

You are right, a dear sister of ours who doesn't post much posted a good thread:

http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showpost.php?p=45701&postcount=1

But, i will start a thread Insha'Allah, on words with their translation from a book, as i am in no position to post vocabulary words from my own knowledge.

May Allah aid us in rectifying ourselves so as to rectify the Ummah in the process.

Ameen.

Walaykum Salam

Salaam,

I am familiar with the website.

I get confused with the names and titles and forget what I am reading. It would help if we could have members post on current history more often. Thus, the posts would be informative in nature. In simple terms a whos who of prominent people. I know I am being lazy.

Thanks for the quick reply. It is so nice to think and reflect.

Shaikhul-Islam Ibn Taimiyya said:

فإذا تعذر إقامة الواجبات من العلم والجهاد وغير ذلك إلا بمن فيه بدعة مضرتها دون مضرة ترك ذلك الواجب : كان تحصيل مصلحة الواجب مع مفسدة مرجوحة معه خيرا من العكس


If establishing the obligations such as education, jihad and other obligations besides that becomes impossible except with the help of one who has bid'a and its harms are less than the harms of leaving the obligation: So obtaining the interest of the obligation - even if it has some evil as a result - is better than the opposite of this (i.e. abandoning ahl al-bid'a).

If jihad leads you to fitna, you should abandone jihad in order to avoid fitnah

Doubt: If jihad leads you to fitna, you should abandone jihad in order to avoid fitnah

Ibn Taimiyya - rahimahullah - explained it:

ولما كان الأمر بالمعروف والنهى عن المنكر والجهاد فى سبيل الله من الابتلاء والمحن ما يعرض به المرء للفتنة صار فى الناس من يتعلل لترك ما وجب عليه من ذلك بأنه يطلب السلامة من الفتنة كما قال عن المنافقين ( ومنهم من يقول ائذن لى ولا تفتنى ألا فى الفتنة سقطوا ( الآية وقد ذكر فى التقسير أنها نزلت فى الجد بن قيس لما أمره النبى بالتجهز لغزو الروم وأظنه قال ( هل لك فى نساء بنى الأصفر ( فقال يارسول الله اني رجل لا أصبر عن النساء وانى أخاف الفتنة بنساء بنى الأصفر فائذن لى ولا نفتنى وهذا الجد هو الذى تخلف عن بيعة الرضوان تحت الشجرة واستتر بجمل أحمر وجاء فيه الحديث ( ان كلهم مغفور له الا صاحب الجمل الأحمر ( فأنزل الله تعالى فيه ( ومنهم من يقول ائذن لى ولا تفتنى ألا فى الفتنة سقطوا (
يقول انه طلب القعود ليسلم من فتنة النساء فلا يفتتن بهن فيحتاج الى الاحتراز من المحظور ومجاهدة نفسه عنه فيتعذب بذلك أو يواقعه فيأثم فان من رأى الصور الجميلة وأحبها فان لم يتمكن منها اما لتحريم الشارع واما للعجز عنها يعذب قلبه وان قدر عليها وفعل المحظور هلك وفى الحلال من ذلك من معالجة النساء ما فيه بلاء فهذا وجه قوله ( ولا تفتنى ( قال الله تعالى ( ألا فى الفتنة سقطوا (يقول: نفس إعراضه عن الجهاد الواجب ونكوله عنه، وضعف إيمانه ومرض قلبه الذي زين له ترك الجهاد: فتنة عظيمة قد سقط فيها فكيف يطلب التخلص من فتنة صغيرة لم تصبه بوقوعه فى فتنة عظيمة قد أصابته والله يقول ( وقاتلوهم حتى لاتكون فتنة ويكون الدين كله لله ( فمن ترك القتال الذى أمر الله به لئلا تكون فتنة فهو فى الفتنة ساقط بما وقع فيه من ريب قلبه ومرض فؤاده وتركه ما أمر الله به من الجهاد

"Because 'amr bil-ma'ruf and nahy 'anil-munkar and jihad in the path of Allah are tribulation and trouble and when human beings are faced with them you would find some of them seeking safety from fitnah by turning away from what is obligatory upon them. As Allah said about the hypocrits:
"Among them is a man who says: "Grant me exemption and draw me not into trial." Have they not fallen into trial already? " and it's mentioned in the tafsir of this ayah that it was revealed about al-Jad bin Qays. When the prophet ordered him to equip himself before the war against the romans, later he suspected smth about him and asked him: "Is it something about the roman women?" He said: "O Allahs Messenger! I'm a man who can not restrain himself from women and I'm afraid to fall into trial because of the roman women. Give me permission to stay behind and dont lead me to temptation." It was al-Jad, the man who remained behind from ar-Ridwan Pledge under the Tree and he hid behind a red camel. There is a narration about him: "All are forgiven except the owner of the red camel". And Allah sent this ayah about him: "Among them is a man who says: "Grant me exemption and draw me not into trial." Have they not fallen into trial already? "
He said that he wanted to stay behind in order to be safe from the fitnah of women and not to be tempted by them and he needed to protect himself from the forbidden and to struggle against the lust. Otherwise either he will suffer from it or he will fornicate and be sinful. Because when a man sees a beautiful face and fall in love, then if he is not able to take her, either because Allah made her haram for him or because he is unable to do it, then he feels suffering in his heart. If he had been able to take her, then he would done something forbidden and be destroyed as a result. And when he holds back from all of these things he will again fall into trial as a result of being surrounded by women. It's the explanation of his words: "dont lead me to temptation!" and Allahu Ta'ala said: "Have they not fallen into trial already?" Turning away from the obligatory jihad and holding back from it, and weakness of the iman and sickness of the heart that beautified for him abondoning jihad are in itself THE GREAT FITNAH that he had fallen into. And how is it possible to escape from a minor fitnah that has not occured while he is already in a major fitnah that have already affacted him?!?!?! And Allah says: "And fight them on until there is no more Fitnah (shirk and kufr), and there prevail justice and faith in Allah." Whoever abandones jihad in order to be safe from fitnah, then he has already fallen into fitnah that is a result of doubts in his heart, sickness of his mind and his abandoning jihad that Allah ordered him!"

We are weak and we can not fight against kuffar because they’ve surpassed us in stren

And Ibn Taymiyya said:

أما قتال الدفع عن الحرمة والدين فواجب إجماعا فالعدو الصائل الذي يفسد الدين والدنيا لا شيء أوجب بعد الإيمان من دفعه فلا يشترط له شرط بل يدفع بحسب الإمكان...وقتال الدفع مثل أن يكون العدو كثيرا لا طاقة للمسلمين به لكن يخافون إن انصرفوا عن عدوهم عطف العدو على من يخلفون من المسلمين؛ فهنا صرح أصحابنا بأنه يجب أن يبذلوا مهجهم ومهج من يخاف عليهم في الدفع حتى يسلموا، ونظيره أن يهجم العدو على بلاد المسلمين وتكون المقاتلة أقل من النصف، فإن انصرفوا استولوا على الحريم، فهذا وأمثاله قتال دفع لا قتال طلب لا يجوز الانصراف فيه بحال


"As for the Defensive Jihad it is the most urgent type of repelling the intruder away from the sanctities and the religion. So it is obligatory according to the consensus (Ijmaa’). So the intruding enemy who corrupts the religion and this life; there is nothing more obligatory after Iman than to repel it. And no condition is mentioned for it; rather muslims should defend to the extent of their ability... The defensive jihad can be like when the enemy is stronger and muslims can not stand against them, but they are afraid that if they abandon the fighting, the enemy will transgress against those who are left behind (i.e. women and children); in this case our scholars clearly stated that it's obligatory upon them to sacrifice their lives and the lives of those who they are afraid for (i.e. the women and children by allowing them to take part in the fight) and defend until they are safe from transgression of the enemy. And a similar case is when the enemy attacks a muslim country and muslims are less than the half of the enemy and if they abandon the fighting, the enemy will disgrace the muslim women, in such a situation and other similar situations the type of jihad is defensive and not offensive jihad, so it's not allowed to abandon the fighting regardless the situation."

Prof. 'Abd Al-'Aziz Al-Fawzan on Jihaad in iraq

Prof. 'Abd Al-'Aziz Al-Fawzan: Defensive Jihad must be authorized by the leader, if the Muslims have a legal leader. It is possible that the leader, along with the leading jurisprudents and the nation's leaders, will think that the Jihad should be postponed due to certain interests. But if they don't have a leader, as is the case unfortunately, in some Muslim countries, should the Muslims surrender to the occupying enemy? No cleric would allow such a thing. The clerics have all agreed that if an enemy invades a Muslim country, Jihad against this enemy becomes an individual duty applying to anyone who can wage Jihad.

But I'd like to highlight a very important issue, about which, in my opinion, even some clerics make mistakes. They read in the religious law books that Jihad becomes an individual duty when an enemy invades a Muslim country. But they say it applies to all Muslims worldwide A– while no cleric says this.

Jihad is an individual duty applying to the people of that country. If they cannot defend themselves against this enemy then it applies to the next in line, to the next in line after them, and so on, and it is possible that it will eventually apply to all the countries of Islam. But this does not mean that if an enemy enters Iraq, for instance, then all the Muslims in all the countries of the world need to come to Iraq to fight. No one has said so. Only an ignorant would say so.

Jihad is an individual duty applying to the Iraqi people. They need to wage this Jihad against this enemy until it leaves their country, especially as this enemy hurts their honor, blood, and property. Is it conceivable that we will let it be? Never. Jihad in this case is an individual duty applying to anyone capable of waging it in this country.

Saudi cleric Sa'd Al-Breik

Sheik Sa'd Al-Breik: [Waging Jihad is permitted] only when there is a worthy cause and it is clear as day that it won't cause us any harm. But to go and blow myself up whenever I feel like waging Jihad, thus a superpower against us – a superpower that would attack us and say: "The decision in Congress was a mistake. Instead of attacking Iraq after Afghanistan, we should have attacked Saudi Arabia." All this because of the insolence of a few young men. Is this justified? No. As for Iraq, however, this is a Jihad to get rid of the occupier and to confront the enemy. We pray to Allah that He grants them victory until the last of the foreign soldiers leaves their country.
