A Response To The Commentaries On Cirebon Bombing

Jamadi-ul-Thani 08, 1432 A.H, Thursday, May 12, 2011

This is an e-mail sent to voa-islam.com from someone calling himself Abu Khataf, it presents the argument on the permissibility of killing the police in the masjid while they are performing solat:

“O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.” (QS. Al-Hujurat: 12)

This message is a response to the comments about what happened on Friday 15th April 2011 in Cirebon (the Cirebon bombing).

Before anything, it should be noted that:

1. I (Abu Khataf) do not personally know the actor and the people (if any) who are behind the incident.

2. I (Abu Khataf) assume that the actor and the people (if any) who are behind the incident are Muslims who have intended what they did as being in the framework of jihad fie sabilillah. In short, they are Mujahids - and Allah SWT is the All-Knowing of their intentions in the heart -.

It has come to my knowledge from some ikhwans about the discordant and sometimes funny, in fact even shameful comments regarding the bombing incident in the Police Resort in Cirebon. Strangely, those out of tune commentaries were sung by the people who claimed to be upon the manhaj of jihad and the strugglers of shari'ah, as well as claimed to be the big shots of the Mujahideen.

The followings are the comments that I have heard along with the responses from us:

1. They, the police who became the target/victims are Muslim because they still perform solat, so their bloods cannot be spilled.

ANSWER:

Do you think if people are still praying it means that they are Muslim even though they are doing kufr that is dzahir mutawatir??? How sad… So pitiful, O people who are jahil murakab (people who do not know but acting as if knowing everything - ed.) if you having such an aqeedah.

Don't you know:

- Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wassalam (SAW) had once sent Bara’ bin Azib to kill the man who married his own stepmother, whereas he still prayed??

- Rasulullah SAW had planned to fight the Bani Musthalik when it was reported that they refused to pay zakat, whereas they also still prayed, but it turned out that the news was not true.

- Abu Bakar As-Siddiq RA fought the followers of Musailamah al-Kadzab, whereas there are people who still prayed among them.

- Abu Bakar As-Siddiq RA also fought against those who refused to pay zakat and it had become an ijma’ (agreement) that they were apostates (murtad), whereas they too still prayed.

-Ali bin Abi Thalib RA burnt the people who were ghuluw (having excessive treatment) towards him, whereas they also still prayed.

- And there are still many examples of the salaf, they declared kafir and made halal the blood, as well as the properties of the people who committed kufr, whereas they still performed solat.

The last example is the case of Bani Ubaid bin Godah who claimed to be the descendants of Fatimah. They performed Friday prayer & congregational prayer, appointed qadhis and muftis but this did not stop the ulama's of mazhhab Maliki and others to declare them kafir. Among the ulama's who declared them kafir was al-imam ash-shaheed -so according to my estimation- Abu Bakar An-Nabulisi.

So the question is, what make the police kafir, that their properties and bloods are halal to be shed, even though they do still pray???

We know that this country is a kafir and thaghut country, that is because this country is implementing the law of the thaghut (UUD [the Constitution] 45 and Pancasila) and this country is also having the qibla (orientation) towards America, the kingpin of the world kufr in fighting the Mujahideen, thus with that, all the administrators of this country are kafir, mushrik and thaghut with their varied levels.

So where is the position of the police???

In the UUD45 chapter xii article 30 (4), in this book of the thaghut it is mentioned “THE POLICE OF THE RI (REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA) AS THE TOOL OF THE STATE TO MAINTAIN SECURITY AND PUBLIC ORDER, HAVE THE DUTY TO PROTECT, GUARD, SERVE THE SOCIETY, AS WELL AS UPHOLDING THE LAW”.

So the police of the RI are kafir, whether they are they are the BRIMOB, Detectives, or even their Traffic Police. There is no difference because they are united with one goal and task, namely to uphold and protect the law of the thaghut. They are under one leadership, one goal and one task. Whereas, the individuals of the tha’ifah mumtani’ah are following their leadership status based on al-kitab, as-sunnah, ijma’ and rules of fiqhiyah. So they are kafir whose blood and properties are halal in accordance with the dzahir rulings, even though they are claiming to be Muslim, performing solat, zakat, sawm & hajj. Because their kufr is not from these aspects.

Please refer the following books to know the daleels:

1. Ad Durar Assuniah, juz 8 old edition.

2. At Tibyan Fie Kufri Man A’na al Amrika (Shaykh Nasir Bin Hamd Al Fadh)

3. Al Jami’, book no. 10 (Shaykh Abdul Qadir bin Abdul ‘Aziz)

4. Da’wah Muqawamah, especially on the statutes (Shaykh Abu Mus’ab As Suri)

5. Masa’il Min Fiqh Jihad, Abu Abdillah al Muhajir

6. And the books of Shaykh Al-Maqdisi and Shaykh Aly Khudair.

2. The Mujahideen made the house of worship (masjid) as the target/aim.

ANSWER:

This may be the most ridiculous and illogical accusation that I have heard, which is not possible to be hurled except by the people whose IQ's are below standard (idiotic IQ) .

Know this, O owners of idiotic IQ, supposing what became the target of the Mujahideen was the masjid, of course the Mujahideen would not be attacking it while they are many people assembling inside it. If the building of the masjid was the one that the Mujahideen wanted to destroy, they would have surely chosen a time when the masjid was empty and the Mujahideen do not need to execute the acts of istishadiah, if only to destroy empty buildings.

Know this, O owners of idiotic IQ, what became the target of the Mujahideen was not the building. But what became the target were the people who are considered as enemies who were inside the building. This actually can be understood and seen by people who want to use their mind to assess and think. But what to be said? Apparently we are encountering a people who have a below standard mind.

3. The Mujahideen were attacking the people who are engaging in ibaadah in the masjid.

ANSWER:

Try to read and reflect on this verse, Allah Ta’ala says: “And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM.” (QS. 9:5)

So you should know that the prohibition to kill the kafir mushrik is not associated with the place but the haram period of the 4 months. i.e. 10 Zulhijjah to 10 Rabiulakhir. Even this is with the condition that they do not fight the Mujahideen.

It is from this noble verse that the Mujahideen will continue to chase, lie in wait, and kill the kafir mushrik where ever they are even if they were clinging onto the drapes of the ka’bah, the Mujahideen will still kill them if it is deemed that they need to be finished. Because the formula is simple, “War takes place (is waged) in places where there are enemies”.

Hopefully, you guys can understand!

4. The act's (the tafjir [blowing up] of Cirebon Police HQ) mafsadat (damage) is bigger than the manfa’at for the Muslims, tawheed da'wah and the Mujahideen themselves.

ANSWER:

The shubhat of manfa’at and mafsadah is a hereditary legacy from the people who actually did not want the establishment of jihad unless if it is already in accordance with the planning and strategy of their circle.

For that, let the answer to this shubhat is surrendered to the expert in it, namely Shaykh Nasr bin Hamd al Fahd which was qouted by Shaykh Aiman adz-Dzawahiri in his book at-Tabriah pg. 144.

Shaykh Nasr answered about this shubhat by saying:

“True, indeed it is an injunction that if the harm is bigger than the maslahat, then it is not prescribed (by shari'ah) at that time. However, there are two things that should be noted:

1. The mafsadah or manfaat meant are the mafsadah or manfaat which is haqiqi (real ) shar’ie not a delusion or assumption.

2. Indeed, the main and most suitable group to perceive and determine the manfa'at and mafsadah in jihad are the Mujahideen, not the Qa'idun (those who are sitting around not conducting jihad) who do not understand how to hold a pistol.”

Do you understand O devotees of maslahat and mafsadat???

Do you understand that the people who have never been dust-covered in the jihad fie sabilillah, never killed the kafir or never fired at the kafir, are not suited to speak about the issues of mafsadah or maslahat in jihad??!

But unfortunately… These days, many people dare to take a business which is not rightfully theirs.

5. The spokesman said, “the act is prohibited because it is not in accordance with the rules of jihad fiqh”.

ANSWER :

O Mr. Spokesman... why do you become furious??

Show us the daleel from the Qur’an, Sunnah, Ijma’ and aqwal salaf about the prohibition of killing/bombing the ansarut thaghut (the police) if indeed you think that you are upon al-haq.

Show us which rules of jihad fiqh is not suitable with that amaliyah istishadiyah if you feel that you have the understanding about jihad fiqh. Is the prohibition that you meant according to the book of your jama’ah?? So if that is what you meant, then you may be right.

Maybe my words are too harsh for you, Mr. Spokesman, that's because you have no mercy and defense at all for the actor whose Islam is tsabit (fixed) and the goal is clear, as written in the actor's will which was publicized by the spokesman of the thaghut himself.

If you are more careful in watching your words, of course we will also be careful in watching our words against you, Mr. Spokesman, insha Allah.

If you want to elaborate where the prohibitions are in the shar'ie daleels and also where the unsuitability is according to the fiqh together with the shar'ie elaboration, of course we will also answer with the shar'ie elaboration, insha Allah.

Know this, O Mr. Spokesman, between us and the Qur’an, as-sunnah, ijma’, let us return our differences to the daleel. Hopefully, this small gesture can be understood by you.

O Rabb who made Sulaiman understand, make my brother Mr. Spokesman understand...

6. Islamic groups gathered on 18th April 2011, they expressed the shared attitude of condemning and prohibiting the bombing in Cirebon

ANSWER:

What you were doing is very disgraceful indeed...

You hastened to hurriedly defend the thaghut when a slight calamity strikes them!!

I am asking you:

Where were you when Dr. Azahari were butchered by the thaghut in front of your eyes???

Where were you when the 3 Mujahids were executed by the firing squad of the thaghut in front of your eyes???

Where were you when the Muslims in Poso were massacred by the thaghuts, also in front of your eyes?

Where were your defense when al-akh Nurdin, Jabir, Urwah, Ibrahim and the ikhwans in Aceh were mowed by the bullets of the thaghut without mercy in front of your eyes??? Aren't they Muslims???

Aren't their bloods haram to be shed???

Did you gather then as you do this time to express the attitude of defense???

But look at yourselves, when there is a handful of thaghuts getting wounded, you immediately gathered and quickly expressed your baro’ against the act and sympathized with the injuries of the thaghut.

By Allah, your nifaq has been visible through what you are doing!!

O Allah, bear witness.. We pledge our baro’ against what those munafiqs are doing...

I complete here my responses to the discordant voices which are infelicitous and lacking the spirit of brotherhood in discrediting the actor of the Cirebon bombing, actually there are still many discordant tones that we have heard.. But let all that be the flavoring spices in the struggle...

Lastly, I dedicate these words to the ikhwan Mujahideen ‘amilin fie sabilillah, whoever you are and where ever you are located. To those who love Allah and Allah loves them. Those who are just, gentle and compassionate with the Mu'min and hard, firm, as well as ferocious against the kafir.

To them who continue to endeavor to rekindle the ibadaah jihadiyah, either in the condition of hardship or ease...

To them who are never bothered with the blame of the blamers and the gossips of those who like to gossip...

To them I say Jazakumullah khayran jaza’ for the jihadiah efforts that you are doing.

By Allah, you have -become the intermediary of Allah- to make us laugh and happy on the flowing of the bloods from one group that has -by the permission Allah- made much blood of the Mujahideen flow, as you know it…

Jazakumullah khayran jaza’ for the efforts you have made which have caused wounds on the camp which have caused a lot of wounds on your brothers...

Jazakumullah khayran jaza’ to you who have caused the cryings in the camp which have also made a lot of cryings on the children of your brothers as their fathers have been arrested, tortured and murdered in front of their eyes, like what you already knew …

By Allah…

By Allah we are ridha (pleased) with what you are doing even though there are many other people who are not ridha with what you are doing, so cover your ears and eyes from the people who do not want your jihad...

Enough is Allah for you...

By the Dzat Who have devastated the army of Abrahah, you are at war not because of the numbers or strength, but you're fighting because of this dien with which Allah honors us...

This is the firm belief of your predecessor, the commander of the battle of Mu’tah Abdullah ibnu Rawahah, then stick to your predecessor's will tightly.

Don't you be too expectant of achieving a perfect victory, hoping for the daulah/khilafah to be established in our time because it is a matter of the ghaib (unseen) which is only known to Allah .

What you should believe in my opinion is that we are the generation of the “tumbal” (Javanese: things sacrificed to gain something better – ed.) for the establishment of the glory of Islam, therefore rejoice O generation of the “tumbal”...

As for the critics / commentators of jihad, I say:

“IF YOU ARE NOT ASHAMED, PLEASE DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO”
