[ The Reality of the Rulers ]
By
The Eminent Sheikh Abu Zubair Adil al-Abab
May Allah protect him
Praise be to Allah, Lord of all
creation, Who says in the Quran:
"That the way of the sinners may be shown up".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 6. "Cattle, Livestock", verse 55)
Prayers and peace upon the most
honored of the Prophets and Messengers, Muhammad bin Abdullah, the honest and
truthful, who says in the blessed Sunnah: "The bonds of Islam will be broken one
by one. Every time a bond is undone, the people will cling to the bond that
follows. The first of these bond is rulership and the last is prayer." Reported
by Ahmad and Tabarani. Al-Hakim stated that the chain is authentic.
To proceed:
He who examines the biographies of the early (Muslims) and how they dealt with
unjust imams would find among the noble Companions and followers those that
revolted against leaders of tyranny and injustice by the sword and by force. The
revered Companion Abdullah bin Zubair, may Allah be pleased with him, revolted
in Mecca and captured it for no reason other than the injustice which prevailed
there. Hussain bin Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, rebelled against Yazid
bin Muawiya. Moreover, Abdullah bin Abbas advised him to go to Yemen to plan and
train.
Others did not revolt, such as the revered Companion Abdullah bin Umar, may
Allah be pleased with him, among others. The pages of history books have
recorded numerous biographies of noble ulema, great jurists, revered Hadith
scholars and powerful interpreters of the Quran who rebelled against unjust and
tyrannical leaders, such as Said bin Jubayr, al-Shaabi, Ibn Abi Leila, al-Buhturi
and others. Those ulema who recite the Quran joined with Abdul Rahman bin al-Ashaath
in revolt against al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf al-Thaqafi. Their number was 100,000 or
more. Imam al-Jassas, a Hanafi jurist, said of Imam Abi Hanifa, who died in the
year 150 Hijri, may Allah have mercy on him, that his school (of religious
jurisprudence) was famous in battling tyranny and unjust imams.
Likewise, Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, deemed it appropriate to
revolt against unjust and tyrannical rulers. Imam Ibn Jarir reported that when
he (Ibn Malik) issued a verdict to the people in favor of the actions of
Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Hasan, who revolted in the year 145 Hijri, he was told
"On our conscience is allegiance to al-Mansur." He said: "You were
forced to swear and allegiance cannot be compelled." Here ends his words as
reported in Ibn Kathir's book al-Bidaya wal-Nihaya.
So it was with the disciples of Malik afterwards. Yahya bin Yahya al-Laithi, a
jurist of al-Andalus, and Qar'us bin Abbas, were among those who rebelled
against the rule of bin Hisham bin al-Dakhil in 202 Hijri, as was reported in
Ibn alAthir's book al-Kamil and in Qadi Iyad's book Tarteeb al-Madarik wa
Taqreeb al-Maslik.
Also, Imam al-Nawawi reported in his book Sharh Sahih Muslim that the Imam al-Haramain
and Shafa'i jurist Abu al-Mu'ali al-Juwayni said: "If a temporal ruler
commits an outrage and his tyranny and injustice become evident and he does not
restrain himself when verbally rebuked for his ill-doing, the people of
influence may act together to overthrow him even by drawing weapons and
launching wars."
Among those who also believed in the permissibility of rebelling against an
unjust imam were the Hanbali jurists Ibn Razeen, Ibn Aqeel and Ibn al-Juzi, as
was reported in Abdullah Umar's book al-Imamatu al-Uzma. Among the ulema that
rebelled against unjust rulers in their day was Imam Ahmad bin Nasr al-Khaza'i
until he was killed. He was praised by Ahmad bin Hanbal and was mentioned in Ibn
Kathir's book al-Bidaya wal-Nihaya.
Praise Allah, if this is in regard to unjust leaders, then what about the rulers
of our day who are allies of the Jews and Christians and work together to sell
Bait al-Maqdis to the Jews and to strike Gaza and the Mujahideen everywhere
under the pretext of combating terrorism. Those who rebelled against the rulers
of their times found justification in a collection of evidence. As the Almighty
said:
"But My promise is not within the reach of evildoers".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 2. "The
Cow", verse 124)
They also used the general evidence commanding the enjoining of what is right
and forbidding what is wrong and destroying it. Among those who opposed
rebelling against unjust rulers were Imam al-Tahawi and al-Nawawi. This was
favored by the interpreter of al-Tahawi and also Ibn Hajar and those who
followed their doctrine.
Based on the above, we see that the Salaf differed on the issue of rebelling
against unjust and tyrannical leaders.
Then why do we see some people propose the issue as if it is decisive and
indisputable? On the other hand, if we condone refraining from rebelling against
unjust leaders, because of this unexpected difference, does that permit us to
submit to or be silent about apostate rulers? The existing consensus, old and
new, is that the Imamate may not be contracted to a kaffir (infidel). The
Almighty says:
"And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way
(to triumph) over believers".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 4. "The
Women", verse 141)
One of the ways for the unbelievers to triumph over the believers is for there
to be a ruler and commander over them who rules them by his whims, rules and
laws. The Almighty said:
"And follow not the bidding of those who are
extravagant, Who make mischief in the land and mend not their ways".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 26. "The
Poets", verses 151-152)
Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah,
prayers and peace be upon him, said:
"Whoever changes his religion, kill him".
(Narrated by al-Bukhari).
No two (individuals) can disagree that whoever replaces the law of the Most
Merciful with man-made laws is a kaffir of the greatest degree and
excommunicated from the faith. The Almighty said:
"What! Have they partners who established for them
some religion without the permission of Allah? Had it not been for the Decree of
Judgement, the matter would have been decided between them (at once). But verily
the wrong-doers will have a grievous penalty".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 42. "Councel, Consultation", verse 21)
And the Almighty said:
"They take their priests and their anchorites to be
their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son
of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One Allah. There is no god but
He. Praise and Glory to Him. (Far is He) from having partners they associate
(with Him)".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 9. "Repentance", verse 31)
Today we see that the rulers of
the Peninsula have replaced the way of Islam with secularism. This in itself is
apostasy and kufr (that places you) outside the faith. The Almighty said:
"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam,
never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be among the
ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good)".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 3. "The
Family Of 'Imran", verse 85)
The rulers of the Peninsula are infidels by their recognition, and adherence to
the resolutions of the United Nations as an authority to which to appeal, and
work according to its charters and man-made laws, in violation of all that Allah
has ordained. The United Nations system is based upon the abrogation of Islamic
law and nullifying the boundaries which preserve life and is established upon
laws from the waste of human ideas.
Recognition of the resolutions of the United Nations is stipulated in their
constitutions and enforced in reality or else their countries would not have
been recognized by the (United Nations).
Moreover, what makes the rulers of the Peninsula kaffir is that they have allied
themselves with Jews and Christian rather than the Believers, they have
disclaimed association with the Believers and supported the kuffar against the
Mujahideen. The Almighty said:
"Let not the believers take for friends or helpers
unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help
from Allah, Except by way of precaution, that ye may guard yourselves from them.
But Allah cautions you (to remember Himself); for the final goal is to Allah".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 3. "The
Family Of 'Imran", verse 28)
In his tafseer of the Almighty's words, "In nothing will there be help from
Allah", the Sheikh of the interpreters, Muhammad bin Jarir al-Tabari said:
"This means that he who has abandoned Allah, Allah has abandoned him, because
of his apostasy and his entry into kufr." His words, may Allah have mercy on
him, end here.
The Almighty said:
"If only they had believed in Allah, in the
Messenger, and in what hath been revealed to him, never would they have taken
them for friends and protectors, but most of them are rebellious wrongdoers".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 5. "The
Table Spread", verse 81)
And the Almighty said:
"O ye who believe, take not the Jews and Christians
for your friends and protectors. They are but friends and protectors to each
other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily
Allah guideth not a people unjust".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 5. "The
Table Spread", verse 51)
When we approach the truth of the rulers of the Peninsula from the perspective
of al-Wala' wal-Bara', we find that Ali Abdullah Saleh has cooperated with the
Americans in killing Sheikh Abi Ali al-Harethi and his companions in support of
(the Americans). We find that the record of the House of Saud in waging war
against Islam and working with its enemies is a long record, and no sane person
would doubt that its relationship with America is one of servitude and
clientage. The House of Saud supported the atheist socialist regime in south
Yemen during the summer war of 1994 with over 300 million dollars! They
supported the Christians of south Sudan and they delivered back to the socialist
rulers of their countries, many preachers who had fled from the tyrants of their
homeland and sought refuge in the holy precinct. They opened their airports to
the Americans to strike the Muslim people of Iraq. All of this is evidence of
their friendship and support to the enemies of Religion. And they continue to
ally with them and provide them with oil and food.
In addition to the above, the rulers of the Peninsula had all previously signed
an alliance with the Americans against the Mujahideen, the so-called war on
terrorism. This in and of itself is loyalty to the Crusaders and enmity to the
Muslims. The rulers of the Peninsula are kaffir because they opened offices for
spying on the Mujahideen, indeed on the Muslims in general. This is real
assistance for the benefit of the Zionist-Crusader campaign and the ruler of
Yemen has openly acknowledged the presence of FBI and CIA offices in Sanaa and
Aden.
These offices are also present in the Emirates and Qatar. In most places they
are to be found at the site of the American embassies located throughout the
Arabian Peninsula and they have rendered great service (to the Americans).
It was through one of these offices that the Emirates handed over the Mujahid
Abdul Raheem al-Nashiri, and others of the Mujahideen. The rulers of the Arabian
Peninsula are kaffir because of their propagation of infidel beliefs. They have
opened the field to the secularists and the polytheists, such as the polytheist
and esoteric Qarmathianism and non-religious sects.
This is in plain view! The esoteric rituals being observed in Yemen by those who
worship other than Allah are under the protection of Ali Abdullah Saleh and this
is occurring not far from us. Among the examples of propagating polytheistic
beliefs is the permission given by the House of Saud for idolatrous rafidites to
practice their polytheist rites in al-Baqi', Mecca and al-Shaqiyah.
This is also the case in Bahrain and Kuwait. They are kaffir because of the
assistance and protection they provide to the American combatants deployed on
the coasts, shores and islands of the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, supplying them
with all necessary supplies of fuel and food, and their opening of military
bases and camps for the Crusaders across the lands and islands of the Arabian
Peninsula.
The presence of the destroyer (USS) Cole in Aden, the American bases in the Bab
al-Mandeb, al-Udayd Base in Qatar, of the bases of al-Kharj and al-Khobar in
land of Haramain, of the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, the presence of their bases in
Kuwait, of the French forces in the Emirates and the British forces in Oman -
all of that is evidence of the aid the rulers of the Peninsula give to infidel
warriors.
They are kaffir because of their persistent work with the secular governments
against the establishment of any caliphate ruled by Islam as they did in
Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan.
They are kaffir because of their protection of newspapers and networks which
insult Allah and religion, and mock the Messenger of the Muslims, prayers and
peace upon him and his household, such as the al-Jumhuriyah newspaper, the
official mouthpiece of Yemen.
None of us will forget the protection the Saudi government gave to Turki al-Hamed
who said: "Allah and Satan are two sides of the same coin", Allah forbid,
and other infidel acts. And some of their satellite networks air series and
shows which make fun of religion.
They are kaffir because they do not implement Shari'a. The Almighty said:
"If any fail to judge by what Allah hath revealed,
they are unbelievers".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 5. "The
Table Spread", verse 44)
The clearest example of this is the presence of commercial and military courts
in every country that falls under their control. Article 27 of the military
courts regulation of the House of Saud states: "The ruler of the state - the
king - alone has the right to implement, halt or substitute any sentence."
When they fight with each other, they appeal to the infidel international
courts, such as the appeal made by Bahrain and Qatar to the international
tribunal during their struggle over the artificial Sykes-Picot boundaries. Those
apostate agents have among them combined to perpetrate many nullifications of
Islam, such as supporting idolaters, suspending the law of Allah, and permitting
and allowing (things) according to the opinion of man. They legalized usury,
protecting and creating licenses for it. Their apostasy is gross and they must
be deposed for perpetrating one violation of Islam, let alone perpetrating many
such violations.
The situation into which the rulers of the Peninsula have fallen is the same
situation, without exception, as all the Arab rulers. For they have become
kaffir in the same way the rulers of the Peninsula have become infidels and may
even surpass them in kufr.
In addition to the kufr and atheism of the rulers of the Peninsula, they have
stormed all the doors of depravity and their usurious banks thrust up against
the minarets of the Haram Allah. Their dissoluteness is also manifested in the
protection of adultery and alcohol, the licensing of special places for this,
spreading abominable acts in the circles of Muslim society and opening the
Arabian Peninsula to debauchees from all infidel sects who are forbidden from
even entering it, let alone behave immorally in it!
Dubai is considered a flagrant example of permitting indecency and immorality,
and is a naked mark of disgrace on the forehead of every Muslim.
This depravity has also (resulted in) the taxes and customs some of them have
imposed, and the permission some of them have given to build churches and
mosques in the Arabian Peninsula, as is the case in Qatar, and opening the door
wide for the Christianization under the name of charitable organizations and
transforming the land of the unified Peninsula into petty sects and artificial
borders.
Due to this extensive corruption, at which human nature recoils and by which
character is sullied, it is our duty to combat them. Yet they have gone out to
fight us, have raided our homes, haggled with us to forsake our religion and
supported our enemies against us.
O Muslims, we are fighting in defense of our religion and you religion, our
honor and your honor. If you do not fight with us, at least do not stand in our
way as we fight those criminal traitors. We fight them in answer to the call by
the Messenger, prayers and peace be upon him: "Whoever changes his religion,
kill him."
On the authority of Ubadah bin al-Samet, may Allah be pleased with him, he said:
"The Messenger of Allah, prayer and peace be upon him, called us and we
pledged allegiance to him which obligated us not to contest the authority with
his people unless we see obvious infidelity for which we have evidence from
Allah." This is agreed upon (Hadith).
Also in the authenticated book of Ahmed and the Sunnah of Ibn Abi Asim, (they
said do not compete against the rulers) "so long as they do not order you to
(commit) a clear transgression."
Also in the narration of Habban Abi al-Nazr and in the Fath al-Bari of Ibn Hajar,
"Not unless there is clear disobedience against Allah."
Imam al-Nawawi in his explanation of the authenticated book of Muslim that Qadi
Ayyadh said: "The ulema are agreed that the Imamate cannot be entrusted to a
kaffir and if he came to commit kufr he should be dismissed. It is also so if he
abandoned prayer and supplication for it (the imamate)." His words end here,
may Allah have mercy on him.
Qadi Ayyadh, may Allah have mercy on him, also said: "If he came to commit
kufr, or a change to the Shari'a or an innovation he loses the authority of the
state and obedience to him is nullified. The Muslims must rise up against him
and remove him and install a just imam if they are able. If that happens to a
certain group they must oust the kaffir, but they do not have to oust the
innovator unless they think they are capable of that." That is the end of
his words, may Allah have mercy on him.
Imam Ibn Hajar said in al-Fath: "If the Sultan shows clear infidelity, it is
not permissible to obey him in that, but those who are able must wage jihad
against him." That is the end of his words, may Allah have mercy on him.
O Muslims, this is the judgment of Allah on the rulers of the Peninsula and
those like them. This is the ruling of his Messenger and the consensus of the
ulema. By Allah, we believe this and we call upon those who doubt this to follow
the truth as shown by the evidence.
O Muslims, the continuation of the traitorous rulers in the positions of
authority (means) the continuation of the siege on Bayt al-Maqdis and the
existence of Israel. If we fought those rulers for this reason alone it would be
legal. How more so if they are refraining sects opposing the implementation of
shari'a? The noble Companions unanimously approved fighting refraining sects,
and the matter proceeded so and no one opposed the permissibility of it.
If it was unanimously permissible for a Muslim to defend himself against a
hostile Muslim attacking him, and to fight back against him, how is it not
permissible for us to defend against and fight the rulers and their supporters
when they are attacking religion and honor, and are loyal to and guard the Jews
and Christians? Even worse they fight those who fight the Jews and the
Christians and throw them in prison.
It is also permissible for us to fight them through the accompanying ruling of
using Muslim prisoners as human shields, bearing in mind the great difference
between the righteousness of the Muslims and the corruption of the rulers. If it
is permissible by consensus to kill Muslim prisoners if the infidels are using
them as shields, all the more reason is it permissible to kill corrupt,
treacherous and unjust Arab rulers, because America and Israel use them as a
shield against all who wish to liberate al-Aqsa and to cleanse the country of
the filth of the occupiers. Wake up, ulema of Islam!
Brave Muslim brother, who is it that stands in your face and prevents you if you
wish to support your brothers in Gaza and liberate Bait al-Maqdis? Is it Israel
or is it the treacherous Arab regimes?
I leave the answer to you.
O proud tribes of Yemen, Hijaz and Najd: Would you be content to be ruled by Abu
Jahl who fought and wronged the Messenger of Allah, prayer and peace be upon
him?
If the answer is no, how is it that you are content that the grandsons of Abu
Jahl are the rulers of the Peninsula? Rush to fight them until you reach
Palestine, and liberate the country from occupation and the injustice of the
kaffir, and until Allah's shari'a rules throughout the world.
O Muslims, we must take Divine commandments as a path to challenge the jahiliyah
regimes and eradicate them completely. We must follow the steps, and take the
conquests and plans of the Beloved, Allah's prayer and peace be upon him, to
destroy the infidel Qureish regime. We must follow his steps, and seek
enlightenment from his light, proceeding on his path in destroying the rulers of
the Peninsula until Allah alone is worshipped and His law rules. How can we not
destroy these lackey apostate regimes in whose shadow apostasy has spread,
atheism has gone out of control, depravity has proliferated, and pains and
illnesses have appeared? In their shadow, the dignity of the Muslims has been
trampled upon and their honor violated. We have no solution for this crisis
other than to destroy these ignorant views and replace them with Islamic shari'a.
This is exactly what the Mujahideen are doing all around the world.
The Mujahideen in Afghanistan have restored, through the grace of Allah, 70% of
their occupied land to the governance of Islam. This is admitted by the enemy
himself. The people of the Swat Valley, by the blessing of Jihad, were able to
uproot the secular regime from their land and govern according to shari'a, in
response to what the Almighty said:
"The Command rests with none but Allah".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 12. "Yusuf",
verse 40)
We beseech the Exalted Lord to keep them steadfast and give them victory. The
enemies of the enforcement of shari'a have rallied around them from all sides to
prevent them from implementing shari'a. The Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate in
the Caucasus and the Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement in Somalia have been able,
through the Grace of Allah, to implement shari'a in the lands falling under
their control. The Jihadist movements are on the march from all sides, calling
for the application of shari'a and fighting for its sake. The Mujahideen in the
Islamic Maghreb are on the march to implement shari'a and they will arrive at
their goal, Allah willing.
We here in the Arabian Peninsula are undertaking a missionary, scientific,
practical Jihadist movement according to the way of the Prophet, prayer and
peace be upon him, to eradicate the secular regimes that have existed in the
Peninsula for decades so that shari'a may rule. We are completely certain of the
restoration of divine, merciful shari'a by which we shall regain all the lands
of the Muslims and cleanse al-Aqsa from the filth of the occupiers and their
helpers. We shall worship only Allah, Who has no peer. We must understand that
the oppression, and loss of wealth, and rights that have afflicted the Muslims
has been caused by the absence of shari'a and the power of secularism.
If we know the cause, then we must be certain of the solution. The Islamic Ummah
is determined to implement shari'a. We have witnessed this, we have seen this.
The successive victories that we see today are the latest evidence that the
Ummah desires to be ruled by shari'a. Allah willing, shari'a will rule and
prevail over the earth, and encompass all the land. The people will live under
the rule of Islam, and land will be filled with justice and tawheed as it was
previously filled with oppression and polytheism. The people strive with all
their strength to liberate themselves from jahiliyah regimes.
They have not been deceived by the lies and empty slogans of the apostate
regimes.
The people are increasingly turning their allegiance to the Mujahideen. The
opening of their cities and their villages, their support and the multiplication
of the Jihadist fronts is all an omen of the imminence of shari'a rule. The
Islamic Ummah is a powerful nation, rejecting and disdaining humiliation, and
struggling for liberation from the chains of secularism. We will not be able to
rid ourselves of those rulers and apply shari'a unless we wage jihad fi sabeel
Allah together and achieve tawheed. The Almighty said:
"And fight them until there is no more tumult or
oppression and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and
everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 8.
"Spoils Of War", verse 39)
We must make clear to the people, the judgment of Allah upon the rulers of the
Peninsula and publish the statements in this regard: that we disassociate
ourselves from the governments of the rulers of the Peninsula, forsake those
rulers and those who are with them.
This is the creed of forefather Ibrahim, peace be upon him: sincerity of worship
to Allah, disavowal of the polytheists and their beliefs.
We must disassociate ourselves from any deed that strengthens their situation,
their authority and their influence in the country and among the worshippers.
The Almighty said:
"There is for you an excellent example (to follow)
in Ibrahim and those with him, when they said to their people: We are clear of
you and whatever ye worship besides Allah: ‘we have rejected you, and there has
arisen between us and you enmity and hatred forever - unless ye believe in Allah
and Him alone:' but not when Ibrahim said to his father: ‘I will pray for
forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from
Allah.' (They prayed) ‘Our Lord! In Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we turn in
repentance: to Thee is (our) final goal'."
(The Holy Quran, Surah 60. "She
That Is To Be Examined", verse 4)
Moreover, in order to rid ourselves of the rule of the treacherous rulers, we
must prepare weapons and force, and mobilize the Muslims to remove and destroy
the rulers of the Peninsula. The Almighty said:
"Against them make ready your strength to the utmost
of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of)
the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not
know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the Cause of Allah,
shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 8.
"Spoils Of War", verse 60)
The inability to go forth (on Jihad) does not vindicate (one) from abandoning
whatever preparation is possible. What is possible should be accomplished
regardless of difficulties. The foundation of this is the Word of the Almighty:
"So fear Allah as much as you can; listen and obey
and spend in charity for the benefit of your own soul and those saved from the
covetousness of their own souls. -they are the ones that achieve prosperity".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 64.
"Mutual Disillusion, Haggling", verse 16)
Preparing (for Jihad) should be spiritual, material, military - and if you
achieve that, the day will come when you join the ranks of the Mujahideen, and
we will all fight in order to apply the shari'a. The Sultan of the ulema al-Izz
Ibn Abdul Salam said in his book Qawa'id al-Ahkam: "If someone is assigned to
do a pious deed and he is able to accomplish some of it but unable to perform
another part of it, if he comes with what he can achieve, he is released from
doing what he cannot do."
Among the preparations (for Jihad) is finding money through legal sources such
as booty, zakat, etc... and sending it to the Mujahideen to facilitate and
hasten the fighting to implement shari'a.
The speakers, preachers, educators and teachers of Quran must bring into action
their role in instructing and educating Muslims about shari'a using all means
which lead to the application of shari'a through the mosques, places of learning
and Friday pulpits, (by) giving lectures and seminars, etc... Every Muslim must
make the truth of the Mujahideen known, the people of al Sunna wal-Jama'a,
fighting to implement shari'a, and respond to the Western media and whoever
follows its procedure in defaming the Mujahideen by distributing all of their
video, audio and written publications in the community and popular circles,
along with expanding the circle of those who support application of shari'a and
vow to achieve this.
Here the role of ulema, preachers and teachers becomes prominent in calling upon
the prominent men, the students of knowledge and general public among the
Muslims to implement shari'a. The continuous call for application of shari'a is
a vital duty which you, the scholars, must perform. It is a duty required by our
times. If Allah asks you what efforts you made leading to the application of
shari'a and you excuse yourself from fighting to applying shari'a using mainly
weak excuses, what will be your excuse to Allah for your tardiness in preaching
to the people, educating the youth and preparing them to restore the rule of
shari'a on the earth? In the end, there must be a general outcry in all
assemblies, and social and religious occasions for applying shari'a just as we
call for observing prayers, and undertaking zakat and fasting. Allah permitting,
we will implement shari'a just as it was implemented by the first troop (of
Muslims).
The Islamic armies are marching against the lairs of the infidel and apostate
regimes. But victory is patience of an hour. It seems to me that the Muslim
countries will be governed by shari'a and tomorrow is not too long to wait.
O Allah, aid Islam and the Muslims and destroy Your enemies, the enemies of
Religion!
O Allah, allow Your Book and the Sunnah of your Prophet to prevail!
O Allah, accept our martyrs, free our prisoners and give us victory over our
enemy!
Our final prayer is that all praise is for Allah, the Lord of all that exists.
