CAUCASUS EMIRATE. Jihad or Daawa?

23 October 2009

Islamic website Tawba.info published an appeal made by Amir of "Bulgar" Jamaat, Isa Dag1istani (Shaheed insha Allah), to supporters of "peaceful preaching", which we present without abbreviations:

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds! We commend him praise, ask Him for help and forgiveness, and resort to Allah from the evil of our souls and our evil deeds. I bear witness that there is no god except Allah alone, who has no companions, and I bear witness that Muhammad - His slave and His Messenger, and may God bless him, his family, his Companions and those who followed them with a pure heart, and may Allah bestow His mercy upon them all.

Many Muslims today are asking themselves, what is most important: to engage in Jihad or Preaching? And to prove their conclusions about the "non-requirement of Jihad", they refer to the fact that the Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, in Mecca along with his Companions did not do jihad, but were only engaged in Preaching. They divided the spread of Islam into two periods - Meccan and Medina.

They say that while the Prophet, may peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, and Muslims were under the kuffar rule, and today, they say Muslims are in the same situation. In their view, our actions today must be the same as of the Prophet(pbuh), and the Sahaba in times when they lived in Mecca. May Allah lead them to the straight path.

If we look at what they say, then we wonder why is it that today you adhere to the prohibition of temporary marriage, when at that time in Mecca, it was not forbidden? AstaghfiruLlah!

And yet the Muslims of Mecca had no prohibition on the use of alcoholic beverages. Why, then, those who divide Islam into periods, bans afford it today? Astag1firuLlah!

We, the followers of Ahli Sunnah wal Jamaa believe, that these supporters of the division into periods, are profoundly mistaken. You can not take one part of Scripture and the Sunna of the Prophet, pbuh, and leave another. Allah Almighty said about this in the Quran:

"Do you then believe in a part of the Book and disbelieve in the other? What then is the re ward of such among you as do this but disgrace in the life of this world, and on the day of resurrection they shall be sent back to the most grievous chastisement, and Allah is not at all heedless of what you do."
(Sura Al-Baqara, aya 85)

Also, Allah Almighty says in the Quran:

"This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion; but whoever is compelled by hunger, not inclining willfully to sin, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."
(Sura Al-Maaida, aya 3)

From these verses we see that Allah has completed His revelation to us and this is our Guide, up to the Day of Judgment. What He has sent down to us - is the Truth and we must believe and obey the Truth without any question, and it imposes on us a serious commitment. First and foremost is the glorification of the word of Allah through the Jihad.

It is compulsory up to the Day of Judgment. The Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, said:

"A group of my Ummah will not stop fighting in the way of Allah up to the Day of Judgment. (Al-Bukhari) Therefore, when they tell us that a Daawa must be carried out, we do not disagree on this issue. We say "YES!" - Daawa is obligatory, and Allah says in the Quran:

"Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and have disputations with them in the best manner....."
(Sura Al-Nahl, aya 125)

Allah Himself commands us to do Daawa, we do not deny that, on the contrary, wherever we are, we are engaged in Daawa, but herewith we do not leave Jihad. By His Grace, we carry out our responsibilities.

Now, some say that Daawa must be carried out, and Islam is divided into stages, i.e., they have taken some orders of Allah and even misrepresented them discarded others, and do not want to notice them. Not only that they are lost themselves, moreover the knock other from the true path, preventing those to whom Allah has recently opened the heart to Islam, to understand what is the truth!

But, people don't lead, it is Allah who leads and this should always be remembered. Allah Almighty says in the Quran:

"And whomsoever Allah guides, he is the follower of the right way, and whomsoever He causes to err, you shall not find for him guardians besides Him"
(Sura Al-Israa, aya 97)

Therefore, the path that Muslims must hold on to, is the way of the Prophet (pbuh), and his Sahaba, and they fulfill all the orders of Allah, without exception, and did not argue about them, what to fulfill out of the orders and what not to. Today Islam is in complete form. Therefore, our duty to fully respect the laws of Almighty Allah.

There is a Sharia rule - "That, what leads to the binding, is mandatory itself". In other words, we must live by the laws of Allah, so, its obligatory to do Jihad in order to glorify His word.

Infidels we will not give up power peacefully, and had never done so. And it is foolish to hope, as we see what is happening in the world today. Infidels use every effort to humiliate Islam, they encroached on the sacred - insult the Prophet (pbuh), and scoff at the Holy Quran. And brothers say that we need to do Daawa to them.

Infidels kill Muslims, throw them into prison, brothers and sisters are being tortured, raped, and our sisters give birth on the infidels, the are asking for help from brothers, and we meanwhile "Daawa must be carried out..." come and exhort them, "hey listen, don't do that, it is not good, accept Islam is a good religion, the religion of kindness and peace." Yes, Islam is the religion of kindness, no one argues, but we need to understand what is "good". "Good" in Sharia is what pleases Allah. Is He pleased with what is happening to the Ummah, is He pleased by the state of the Ummah? May Allah forgive us and lead to the right way.

According to Sharia, if one Muslim is a captive of infidels, it is our duty to release him in any way permitted by Allah. To help your brother - is the duty of every Muslim, even if they are in different cities. Reproduced in the Sahih of Imam alBuhari from Ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, said:

"A Muslim is a brother to other Muslims. He does not oppress them or turn them over to the enemy. Whoever meets a need of his Muslim brother, Allah will meet his need. Whoever relieves a Muslim from difficulty, Allah will relieve one of his difficulties on Doomsday. Whoever covers up a Muslim's fault, Allah will cover his fault on Doomsday."

Darul Kutny from "Aza ibn Amuru, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated a hadith in which the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and welcomed, said:

"Islam is at the highest level and nothing is above it."

Abdul Kadir Ibn Abdul Aziz (may Allah free him from prison) concluded: "A Muslim should not be in humiliation and no one should be above him." The book "The basis of preparation of forces to fight in the way of Allah."

But today the prison is overcrowded by Muslims in the world, yet we are told "is not the time for Jihad", it is necessary to do Daawa to infidels. NO! Daawa alone in not enough, we should all take up arms and liberate our brothers and sisters, liberate our lands, which kuffar govern now. To liberate our territories, to set Shariah of Allah there and then do Daawa to the people, as the early Muslims did who conquered and then settled down among the conquered, and made them Daawa. And spread religion of Allah to across the globe. May Allah help us.

Dear brothers Do not just sit there and look for excuses not to join the brothers, leading a victorious Jihad in the path of Allah, and no matter on what territory you are - Allah will grant us victory. Allah says in the Quran:

"...and fight the polytheists all together as they fight you all together; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil)."
(Sura At-Tawba, aya 36)

Allah also says:

"Go forth light and heavy, and strive hard in Allah\'s way with your property and your persons; this is better for you, if you know."
(Sura At-Tawba, aya 41)

The blessing of Almighty Allah, and peace to the Prophet Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, his family and all his companions. Ameen.
