Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem

A Never Ending War


All Praise and All Thanks are for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to whom we shall all return to be judged on The Last Day. We praise Him and ask Him for help and forgiveness; and ask His protection from the mischief of our souls and the bad results of our deeds; whomsoever Allah guides, none can misguide; and whom He declares misguided, none can guide to the right path; and I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah: He is Alone, without partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is the Messenger and Servant of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

Anas b. Malik reported: "Paradise is surrounded by hardships and the Hell-Fire is surrounded by temptations". Bukhari, Book 40, Number 6778

The Basic Aims of the Kuffar:

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"The Jews and Nazarenes will never be satisfied with you until they have changed your Deen." 2: 120  Interpretation of Meaning

"They long for you to disbelieve even as they disbelieve, so that you may be the same (as them) so do not choose friends from among them until they accept the way of Allah." 4:89 Interpretation of Meaning

In order for us to effectively fight in the war the kuffar - the Zionist-Crusader alliance - have launched against Deen Al-Islam, we have to understand the aims and all the methods of the kuffar. Their basic aim is to control, through military, economic, political and propagandistic means, the people and resources of this world, in order that their own system, and their own way of life, may continue, prosper and dominate.

To achieve their aim - basically, to get their own way - they have, in the last two hundred years exploited both the peoples and the resources of this world, through imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, and the manufacture of artificial nation-States which they have imposed upon people.


In respect of Islam, the early aim of the kuffar was to divide, conquer and dominate the lands of the Muslims. Thus they employed the colonial tactic of invading and occupying Muslim land, and then manufacturing puppet regimes or puppet governments, all the while maintaining some military presence in such lands and all the while maintaining real or clandestine control of those lands through, for example, economic blackmail and political pressure, and through the threat of the so-called "United Nations", which is basically a kaffir-manufactured organization, based upon the manufactured laws and Tawagheet of the kuffar, and which exists to enforce Western control upon the rest of the world using the illusion of being an "independent" organization who aim is to "benefit humanity".

Thus, in the past hundred and more years, the kuffar invaded Muslim lands, replacing Shariah with Tawagheet, as they helped the apostate Ataturk to overthrow the remains of the Turkish Khalifah, and as they carved-up Al-Shams according to their whims and their Tawagheet, manufacturing  so-called "nation-States" such as Iraq, Jordan and Syria, and declaring that part of Palestine was to be given to the Zionists to create a Zionist-entity in the lands of the Muslims. More recently, in the past fifty or so years, the kuffar have supported the apostate rulers of Muslim lands in places like Egypt, Pakistan, Algeria, the Arabian Peninsula and elsewhere.

However, in the past decade or so, things have not gone entirely according to the plans of the kuffar, for many Muslims - Alhamdulillah -  have re-discovered Deen Al-Islam and in particular their duty of Jihad Fee Sabilillah. Thus, many Muslims have been turning to Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jamaah instead of to the decadent ways of the West, just as many Muslims have striven to undertake Jihad Fee Sabilillah in order to do their duty as Muslims and so establish the supremacy of the Word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala . That is, many Muslims seek to create - and desire to live in - a community of their brothers and sisters, governed according to Deen Al-Islam, where Shariah is the only law, where there is bayah to an Ameer, and where the Muslim virtues of honour, loyalty and duty are understood, known, and manifest, according to Adab Al-Islam.

Hence, there is a desire, among Muslims, for the restoration of the Khalifah - or at the very least for a land or lands where we can live, according to Deen Al-Islam, which means totally free from the influence and interference of the kuffar and the Tawagheet of the kuffar. In addition, more and more Muslims have come to understand and know the perfidy, the crimes, of the kuffar, against Muslims - which the kuffar have committed for over a hundred years and which have led to the deaths and killing of millions of Muslims, world-wide, and which has led to tens upon tens of thousands of Muslims being imprisoned by the kuffar and their apostate allies.

Such things have led to the Jihadi Intifada - to the struggle to free our lands from the kuffar and their apostate lackeys, and to the struggle to establish the Word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Thus, many Muslims understand the Jumaadi Al-Thaani attacks against Amerika as retribution for Amerikan interference in the affairs of the Muslims, an interference that dates back well over a hundred years, and includes - with the help of their kaffir ally Britain - the creation of the Zionist-entity in Palestine and the dispossession, killing, imprisonment and humiliation of Muslims there; the abhorrence that is Amerikan troops and bases in the Land of the Two Holy Places;  the sanctions imposed upon the kaffir-manufactured nation of Iraq which led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Muslims children there. And so on, and so on.


Here - in the Jumaadi Al-Thaani attacks - we can see the fundamental difference between the Muslim perspective, and the kaffir one, represented as the kaffir perspective is by Amerika and its kaffir allies such as Britain. For the Muslims, the attacks (even if they disagree with them) are understandable, one act in a conflict that has a very long history. For the kuffar - for the West and its lackeys and apostates - the Jumaadi Al-Thaani attacks mark "point zero": the beginning of their self-declared "war on terror" and the beginning of their campaign to bring their so-called "freedom", "democracy" and "progress" to Muslims, whether these Muslims want these Tawagheet or not.

That is, the kuffar ignore - either willfully out of deceit, or out of ignorance - that they have been held accountable for the deeds they have committed against Muslims decade following decade: held accountable for the establishment of the perfidy which is the Zionist-entity; for the suffering and deaths of Palestinians; for bringing their Tawagheet to the lands of the Muslims; for their support of tyrants and apostate rulers in Egypt, Al-Shams, Algeria and elsewhere.



The Present Intent of the Kuffar Toward Deen Al-Islam

In essence, the Jihadi Intifada - the return of Muslims to Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jamaah -  has Alhamdulillah exposed the kuffar for what they are: hypocrites, liars, bullies, and dishonourable cowards. Their true nature has been revealed: in their torture of Muslims at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay; in their invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan; in their lies whenever they try to cover up their killing of Muslims as in their bombing of Afghanistan and Iraq. Their true nature has been revealed in their complete and utter arrogance which rivals if not surpasses that of Fir'uan - in demanding we accept their Tawagheet of democracy, their fallible manufactured laws, and worship what they worship and be as decadent as they are or they will invade our lands, occupy them, establish puppet rulers over us, and imprison us, or kill us for opposing them by doing our duty of Jihad Fee Sabilillah.  Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"You who believe! What is wrong with you that you did not rush forth when called [to aid] the Way of Allah? Or is it that you love this planet so much - that you crave its comforts so much - that you forget the next life where such earthly things are revealed for the insignificant comforts they are?" 9: 38 Interpretation of Meaning

In addition, it was authentically reported that the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
"A section of my community will continue to fight for what is honourable and overcome their opponents till the last of them fights against the Dajjal." Abu Dawud, 14, 2478   Narrated Imran ibn Husayn

The Jihadi Intifada has also exposed the true aims, the true intent, of the kuffar toward Muslims. Their aim, their intent, is now to replace Deen Al-Islam with their own manufactured "moderate Islam" so that they can continue to dominate us, and continue to impose their ways, their Tawagheet, upon us. Allah  Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"Allah is the Wali of those who believe: from darkness, He leads them into the light, while those do not believe have, as their Wali, their Taghut so that they are led from light into darkness. For them, there is the Fire, where they shall dwell forever." 2: 257 Interpretation of Meaning

Of course, being deceitful hypocrites, the kuffar use every means and every medium at their disposal to deny that they are engaged in a "war against Islam" insisting that they are only engaged in a "war against terrorists and extremists" - conveniently forgetting, of course, that they themselves are the greatest terrorists in the whole history of this world, having killed millions upon millions of people, world-wide in the last few decades alone. Of course, being deceitful, they - using that inept cleverness and hypocrisy founded on arrogance which will InshaAllah be one reason for their downfall - have so defined "terrorism" that it applies only to groups and organizations and individuals they dislike or are opposed to - for, according to their deceitful definition of "terrorism" a nation-State, such as Amerika, and its representatives, servants and lackeys, cannot commit "terrorism" or be held responsible for committing "terrorist acts". [See Note 1, below.]

What the kuffar mean, of course, is that they are engaged in a war against those Muslims who refuse to bow down to the kuffar and who refuse to accept or worship the Tawagheet of the kuffar, such as "democracy" and the Ignorance, the kufr, that is the Taghut of the nation-State with borders defined by the kuffar and their lackey organization, the so-called United Nations.

As Muslims who seek to obey only Allah, we have to understand what the kuffar and their allies are doing - and good place to start are the words of the kuffar themselves, as given, for example, in the Rand reports about Islam. The first of these reports was entitled Civil Democratic Islam: Partners, Resources, and Strategies and it can be summarised as follows.

1) Support the modernists - spend billions of dollars aiding them, propagating their views, and creating organizations and groups for them. Give them public platforms and deny these platforms to "fundamentalists".
2) Encourage disagreements between modernists and "fundamentalists" and discredit "fundamentalists" in the Media, the Press, by for example encouraging journalists to circulate stories about their personal life, or calling into question their finances.
3)  Encourage Sufism and the idea that Jihad means "inner struggle".
4) Challenge "fundamentalists" - on the Internet, through books, the Media.
5) Encourage divisions among "fundamentalists".
6) Support the idea that Religion and the State can be separate in Islam, and that Islam is compatible with democracy.

Here we can see the "dirty tricks" of the kuffar, as we can see how they intended, intend and do use the so-called "moderate" Muslims for their own, kaffir, ends - just as we can see the influence of the kuffar, the imitation of the kuffar, when we hear moderate "Muslims" speak or when we read their books or come across their effusions on the Internet, or when they defer to the kuffar and do the bidding of the kuffar and accept the Tawagheet of the kuffar. Thus do these so-called "moderate" Muslims aid the kuffar, against their brothers and sisters, in clear defiance of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Who says:

"If you obey the Kafiroon, they will turn you away from your Deen and thus your own life will be a failure." 3: 149 Interpretation of Meaning
"You who believe, do not take the Jews and Nazarenes as allies. They are allies of each other. If any of you takes them as allies, then he is one of them." 5:51 Interpretation of Meaning
"The kuffar are your declared enemy." ” 4: 101  Interpretation of Meaning

"Haqq has been distinguished from Baatil - and those who renounce and denounce Taghut and then believe in Allah have grasped that trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks." 2:256 Interpretation of Meaning


Naturally, these particular kaffir Reports - and the kuffar in general - conceive and try to "understand" Deen Al-Islam through the terms, concepts and ideas that they themselves have manufactured and which they impose upon Reality, thus committing, in their Ignorance, kufr: that is, concealing the Unity, the purity, the numinosity of Tawheed. For they have manufactured artificial divisions, and made these into Tawagheet, which they are in thrall to, and which they use to judge people, and Deen Al-Islam, by.

In addition, the Report states: "The United States has three goals in regard to politicized Islam. First, it wants to prevent the spread of extremism and violence. Second, in doing so, it needs to avoid the impression that the United States is opposed to Islam." Here again we see the manipulation, the lies, of the kuffar, and their apostate allies - pretending that they are not "at war with Islam". And the gullible, manipulated, "moderates" have believed them, of course.


According to the second Rand report, the kuffar need to "identify the key cleavages and fault lines among sectarian, ethnic, regional, and national lines and to assess how these cleavages generate challenges and opportunities for the United States." We can already see how, since this Report, the Amerikan government has exploited such divisions, in Iraq.

In effect, what such Reports provide us with is an insight into the workings of the kaffir mind. It is a devious mind, and the first principle of the kuffar is that their first priority is their own well-being, their own Western material prosperity and security. Their second principle is that everyone else - including, and especially, Muslims - are somehow inferior, a resource to be used and manipulated to ensure that the first principle is achieved. Thus, in the pursuit of their aims the kuffar are prepared to use - do use and have used - war, invasion, murder, killing, assassination, torture, "regime-change", blackmail, economic sanctions, and whatever else they have to, all the while pretending to be champions of "freedom, "human rights" and democracy.

The sheer profane arrogance of the kuffar is laid-bare for all to see. Their sheer hypocrisy, their sheer contempt for everyone else, is clear - they will connive, lie, manipulate, terrorize, bully, to get their own way. Of course, they will sometimes cover some of this in fine sounding words or jargon, such as: "The Pentagon's doctrine for psychological operations specifically contemplates actions to convey and (or) deny selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning. ... In various ways, perception management combines truth projection, operations security, cover, and deception, and psyops." (Taken from U.S. Defense Department's Information Operations Roadmap, a document approved by Donald Rumsfeld.) In plain words - Amerika will suppress information, manufacture lies, manipulate people using stories in the newspaper and Media, discredit individuals, glorify and promote others, stage "show trials" (or have its lackeys and puppet governments stage these) and generally act like some totalitarian regime, using propaganda to get its own way and to discredit its enemies.




Jihadi Intifada - A Never Ending War:

Given the aims, the intent of the kuffar - given their nature and character - what can we, as Muslims, do to resist their attempts to change our Deen, and to resist their demand that we bow down before them, accept their occupation of our lands, and become like them?

The answer is simple, and given to us by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Who says:

"Will you not fight? Or is it that you are afraid of them? Rather - fear Allah most of all, if you do indeed believe." 9: 13 Interpretation of Meaning
"Let those who would trade the life of this world for the life Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allah. And those who do fight in the Cause of Allah - whether they be killed or are victorious - will have bestowed on them, by Us, a great reward." 4: 74 Interpretation of Meaning

In addition,  as Sheikh ul-Islam ibn Taimiyyah (Rahimullah) said:

"It is agreed that it [Jihad] is obligatory to protect our Deen and what is sacred. The first obligation after Eeman is the repulsion of the enemy who demeans and insults our Way of Life and who interferes in our affairs." (Refer to Al Ikhtiyaraat Al Fuqaha and Fatawa Kubra 4, 608)

Thus, we need to do the following:

1) Live according to Adab Al-Islam and follow the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam). This means, for example, that we know and feel that we are part of the Ummah:  It also means that we strive to act with honour - that we do not, for instance, spread gossip or rumours about our brothers and sisters, for as Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"Those who seek dignity and honour should know that they derive from Allah (alone)." 35:10 Interpretation of Meaning

"You who believe, if a dishonourable person [fasiq] comes to you with any news, verify it lest you harm people unwittingly and afterwards regret what you have done." 49:6 Interpretation of Meaning
In addition, it was authentically reported that the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
  "He who believes in Allah and the Last Day should either speak honourably or be silent." Muslim Book 1, 75

2) That we understand and know Deen Al-Islam - that we know the kuffar, and their tame apostates, and their "moderate" allies, for what they are. That we resist the attempt by the kuffar and their apostate lackeys to change Deen Al-Islam.

In practice, this means, for example, that we uphold Al-wala wal-bara. As Sheikh ul-Islam ibn Taimiyyah (Rahimullah) says:

"The testimony of Shahadah, there is no god but Allah, requires you to love only for the sake of Allah, to hate only for the sake of Allah, to ally yourself only for the sake of Allah, to declare enmity only for the sake of Allah; it requires you to love what Allah loves and to hate what Allah hates." ibn Taimiyyah, al-Ihtijaj bil-Qadar, 6

In practice this also means that we do not view or strive to understand Deen Al-Islam through the Tawagheet of the kuffar - that is, that we do not use their kaffir terms, ideas or concepts to describe Deen Al-Islam. Thus we reject their terms such as "extremism", "moderate", "ideology", "terrorism" and "religion", and come to know Deen Al-Islam for the perfect, complete Way of Life that it is - a Way that thus rejects the Tawagheet of democracy, of "human rights", and refers everything, for judgement, to the Quran and Sunnah: to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and His Messenger (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam).

Thus, we think as a Muslim - we think Muslim: we do not think as the kuffar think, in their flawed, ignorant, terms, concepts and ideas.

"This is My path which is straight, true. Therefore follow it, and do not follow other paths all of which will lead you astray you from this, His Way." 6:153 Interpretation of Meaning
"Judge between them by what Allah has revealed: do not give in to your own desires, and beware, for they will try to lead you astray, away from some of that which Allah has revealed. And if they turn away, there is the knowledge of their punishment by Allah for some transgression of theirs - and, indeed, there are many disobedient, rebellious ones [Fasiqun].  Do they seek to judge according to the ways of Jahiliyyah? The judgement of Allah is best - for those who sincerely believe." 5:49-50 Interpretation of Meaning

3) That we participate in, or at the very least support, the Jihadi Intifada, for, as Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"Say to those of the dwellers of the desert who held themselves back: You shall soon be invited (to fight) against a people who are extremely arrogant; you will fight against them until they submit. And if you obey (in this), Allah will grant you an excellent reward, while if you turn away (from this) as you turned away before, He will punish you with a painful punishment." 48: 16 Interpretation of Meaning

"And what is wrong with you that you do not fight in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this place whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help. Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut. So fight against the friends of Shaitaan." 4: 75 - 76. Interpretation of Meaning
"Fight against those who do not believe in Allah, or in The Last Day, and who do not forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, as well as those among the people of the book who do not acknowledge the Deen of Truth, and fight them until they pay the Jizya with willing submission." 9:29 interpretation of Meaning


In addition, it was authentically reported that the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

 "If anyone meets Allah with no mark of Jihad, he will meet Allah with a flaw in him."  Al-Tirmidhi 3835, Narrated Abu Hurayrah

Jihad will continue against the kuffar until we have removed them from our lands, freed all Muslim prisoners, and established the Word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"You who believe! If anyone turns away from this Deen, then Allah will replace that person with many whom He loves, who love Him - those who are loyal to the Believers, stern toward the kuffar, who fight in the Way of Allah, and who do not heed the criticism of their critics. For this is the honour that He bestows upon whomsoever He wills - for Allah is The All-Knowing, The Infinite One. In truth, your champions are Allah, His Messenger, and the Believers - those who undertake As-Salat, who give Zakat and who submit [in loyalty to Allah]. For whomsoever has Allah, His Messenger, and Believers as their Champion, are the ones who will achieve victory."   5: 54-56 Interpretation of Meaning

4) That we resist any and all attempts by the kuffar to divide us - that we do not listen to them; that we are skeptical about everything they say, write or do. That we reject their Taghut of nation-States, and reject the Ignorance of judging people by their race, by their culture, by their wealth (or lack of it), by their so-called status.

It was reported that the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, “Fear Allah, and if a mutilated Abyssinian former slave is appointed as Ameer over you, listen to him and obey him, as long as he obeys, and applies to you, the Book of Allah.” Al-Tirmidhi 1628
Narrated Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "Allah, Tabarak wa'tala, has removed from you the pride of Jahiliyyah and its boasting about ancestors. A person can be either an honourable believer or an ignoble sinner. You are sons of Adam, and Adam came from dust. Let the people cease to boast about their kin and kin-folk." Abu Dawud, Book 36, 5097

In practical terms, resisting the kuffar means that we place the criteria of being Muslim - of Deen Al-Islam - over and above everything else. For us, what is important is submission to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. What is important is Taqwa; Adab Al-Islam.

Let us therefore remember Adab al-Khayr - which is an important and fundamental part of Deen Al-Islam - of which this is one, as narrated by Anas Ibn Malik:

"La yuminu ahadukum hatta yuhibba li-akheehi ma yuhibbu li-nafsihi."

Furthermore, if there are disputes between us, we do not act like the dishonourable kuffar but instead like Muslims, and so apply Adab Al-Islam, and strive to remember what Sheikh ul-Islam ibn Taimiyyah (Rahimullah) wrote:

"Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal and Imam Abdallah Ibnul Mubarak said "In times of a dispute among the Ummah seek the opinion of the Mujahideen (on the battlefields) because the truth will be with them. Allah says 'As for those who do Jihad for us, We assuredly guide them to Our path.' " (29:69). ibn Taymiyyah: Majmoo' al-Fatawa, Volume 28, 442

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is sufficient for us - we turn to Him for help; we trust in Him. Deen Al-Islam is our culture; our Muslim brothers and sisters are our family; our land is wherever there is Shariah and Shariah only, and where there is bayah to an Ameer. Our loyalty, our duty, is to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and His Messenger, Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and we fight for, live for, and are prepared to die for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and His Messenger, Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) in the hope InshaAllah of achieving Jannah, the goal of this mortal life of ours.

"In exchange for their lives and their goods, Allah has given those who believe Paradise. Thus will they fight in Allah's cause, and thus will they kill, and be killed." 9: 111


May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala protect us from all forms of Al-asabiyyah Al-Jahiliyyah, forgive us for our mistakes, and guide us to and keep us on the Right Path.

Notes:
1) A kaffir definition of terrorism: "The calculated use of violence or the threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological." This most certainly applies to the actions of Amerika against the former Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, as it does to their invasion and occupation of Iraq, and their threats to other Muslim lands: actions and threats which were and are nothing short of the tactics of the vicious, arrogant bully - "Do as we demand, or else we shall use lethal force to get our own way."
