Answer:
Anger jihad
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Your
Statement: ….how long all muslim leaders are going to keep their silence . till

Respected brother in Islam, your anger, your frustration,
your desperation, and your disappointment at the utter inaction of the Ummah
regarding the current crisis in
The believing Ummah is utterly disunited and involved in a
classic blame game, the inevitable result of which is absolute inaction: the
common muslims blame their elected or appointed leaders of inaction, and the
muslim-leaders blame their subjects of subordination, extremism, and rebellion!
If truth be told brother, the hands and souls of every
muslim (the common man and the leaders alike) are tainted with the innocent
blood of the helpless men, women, and children who are being massacred in the
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 85 Surah
Burooj verses 2-10:
2 By the promised Day (of Judgment);
3 By one that witnesses; and the subject of
the witness
4 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire)
5 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel!
6 Behold! They sat over against the (pit of fire)
7 And they witnessed
(all) that they were doing against the believers.
8 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed
in Allah, Exalted in Power worthy of all Praise!
9 Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And
Allah is Witness to all things.
10 Those who persecute the believers, men and women, and do not turn in
repentance will have the Penalty of Hell: they will have the Penalty of the
Burning Fire.
Respected brother, those who unjustly oppress, tyrannize,
and slaughter the believers….and also those who stand by silently and witness
the massacre without even raising a voice, or a finger, or without pain in
their hearts….both will have to pay a full retribution for their participation
in the injustice in the Presence of their Lord!
Your
Statement: ….i am upset by your responce also as i see that even you are trying
to answer my question on jihad very diplomatically . i think you are scared

We are the first to admit that we are ‘guilty as charged’
brother; and we do admit that we try to respond to the questions on ‘jihad’
diplomatically on the forum…..but Allah is our witness brother, we do not fear
for our safety.
Allah Subhanah Alone Knows the trials we have faced and
still face on a daily basis moderating this humble forum and striving to
deliver the Truth from the Quran and the Sunnah to all who are willing to
listen to good caution!
Respected brother, we fear not for our safety, for Allah
Subhanah more than suffices as a Protector….. but in these trying times, if the
‘authorities’ which have left no stone unturned in their striving to shut down
this humble forum get even a whiff of an excuse, we will be deprived to
continue even this humble effort in the Cause of Allah Subhanah.
Your
Statement: ….but i am not as i only fear Allah i al thousand time reminding you
requesting you as i am totally helpless that i want to be a part of jihad if
you have any source please let me know…… allah had promised very high reward
for martyr & inshallah i will one day reach that level inshahllah. But i
dont want to fall astray i want to go right way.
Respected brother in Islam, martyrdom is and should be the
dream and wish of every believer who sincerely believes in Allah and looks
forward to the Last Day…whether Allah Subhanah bestows this incomparable honor
upon one amongst His slaves or withholds it, is entirely upto His Will.
If a person claims to be a believer, but (Allah forbid) in
his heart of hearts has no desire or wish to lay down his life for the Cause of
Allah….the faith of such a person has no value or weight in the Sight of the
Lord Most High…..
Sahih Muslim Hadith 4696 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ‘One who
died, but did not fight in the way of
Allah, nor did he express any desire (or
determination) for Jihad, died the
death of a hypocrite.’
In another narration the Messenger of Allah
(saws) declared: ‘If one has no desire to perform ‘jihad’ in the Cause of
Allah, Allah does not care whether that person dies as a Jew or a Christian (or
a disbeliever)!’
Your
Question: …..If you are not helping me having sources i will take you
accountable on the day of judgement. I fear only Allah & i know that
everything is Written than why should i worry my job is just to try & get
it . I am sorry to say that i have so many peoples so good theorotically but when

Respected brother in Islam, as much as we understand and
appreciate your fervor for ‘jihad’ in the Cause of the All-Mighty…and as much
as we feel the pain in our hearts with the utter desperate state of the
Ummah….we regret to inform you that one man or one individual picking up a
knife, or a gun, or a bomb, and indiscriminately killing a disbeliever is
definitely not ‘jihad’ as practiced and taught by the Messenger of Allah (saws)!
There is a time for fighting the enemy, and there is a
time for practicing patience….and if truth be told, practicing patience in the
face of unjust and untold tyranny and oppression is much harder than actually
fighting!
For thirteen long and enduring years in the Prophet’s
(saws) period in Makkah, the believers suffered every conceivable form of
oppression and tyranny at the evil hands of the pagans of Quraish….so much so
that slaves like Hadrat Bilaal (r.a.), and Hadrat Ammar (r.a.), and Hadrat Abdulla
ibn Masud (r.a.), and Hadrat Khabbab (r.a.), etc. were mercilessly and
inhumanely tortured on a daily basis! The whole tribe of Banu Hashim was placed
under a general boycott, whereby scores of them, innocent men, women, and
children, starved to their deaths! The first martyrs of Islam, Hadrat Yasir
(r.a.) and Hadrat Summayyah (r.a.), the father and the mother of Hadrat Ammar
bin Yasir (r.a.), were brutally tortured and then murdered in front of Hadrat
Ammar (r.a.)! etc. If one tries to list or recount the unimaginable oppression
and the tyranny faced and endured by the Messenger of Allah (saws) and the
early reverts of Makkah at the hands of the pagan Quraish, one would shed tears
of blood from their eyes…..but what was the Command of Allah Subhanah to the
believers during those trying times: ‘Hold your hands.’!!!
At the height of this tyrannical oppression, Hadrat
Khabbab bin Al-art (r.a.) came to the Messenger of Allah (saws) and only asked
him (saws) to invoke Allah Subhanah to help them…..
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.76 Narrated by Khabbab bin Al Art
We went to Allah's Messenger while he was
leaning against his sheet cloak in the shade of the Ka'ba to complain (about
our state). We said: "O Messenger of Allah (saws)! Will you ask Allah to
help us? Will you invoke Allah for us?"
The face of the Messenger of Allah (saws) became red with anger and he
(saws) replied: "Among those (nations) who were before you a (believer)
used to be seized, and a pit used to be dug for him and then he used to be
placed in it. Then a saw used to be brought and put on his head, which would be
split into two halves! His flesh would be combed with iron combs and removed
from his bones! Yet, all that did not cause him to revert from his religion. By
Allah! This religion (Islam) will be
completed (and will triumph)….but you are being impatient!!!"
How difficult was it for Hadrat Umar (r.a.), or Hadrat Ali
(r.a.), or the ‘lion of Allah’ Hadrat Hamza (r.a.) or any one of his noble
companions to go and harm or kill Abu Jahl, or Waleed ibn Mugairah, or Shaibah,
or Utbah, or one of the leaders of the pagan Quraish and take their
revenge! But that would have proved
counter-productive….the believers were few in number and weak in might, and had
they even laid a finger on one of the pagan Quraish, the disbelievers would
have found a moral excuse to unleash their full might upon the believers and
would have broken the back of the movement in its infancy!
One may argue that Islam after 1400 today is no infant,
1.6 billion muslims around the world are not few in number, and the collective
wealth and the might of the Muslims is not weak by any stretch of the
imagination…….but unfortunately, the power of the Ummah today is divided, and
thus it finds itself meek and weak against the super-powers of the world!
There are close to 56 nations who claim the majority of
their citizens as muslims; many amongst these nations have large resources and
powerful armies; but what they don’t have is the ‘will’ and the ‘spine’ to
stand up and say ‘enough is enough’ to the unjust super-powers who currently
run the affairs of the world!
Allah is our witness brother, even if only a handful of
these ‘muslim’ nations unite under one leadership….somehow find the ‘spine’ to
stand up against their enemy and engage their resources and their armies….and
so much so as only call upon the common believers to enlist themselves to fight
their common enemy and the enemies of Allah, and even if only 10% of the believers
worldwide respond to their call for ‘jihad’….they would have a standing army of
160 million believers who love death more than the disbelievers love life!!!
My respected brother in Islam, ‘jihad’ is not an
individual affair whereby one picks up a knife, or a gun, or a bomb and
indiscriminately kills the disbelievers….but ‘jihad’ in Islam as taught by
Allah Subhanah and practiced by the Messenger of Allah (saws) and his noble
companions is a collective and united muslim affair!
Thus my beloved brother, as much as you (and all the true
believers) desire martyrdom in the Cause of Allah….the need of the hour is not
to pick up a gun or a bomb, but to ‘hold your hands’ and strive with everything
in your ability to unite this disunited Ummah under the banner and the Guidance
of the Glorious Quran!
Allah is our witness brother, all the fire-power of the
unjust super-powers of the world, all their heavy machinery and artillery, all
their gun-ships and attack helicopters, all their ‘migs’ and ‘F-16s’, and their
‘weapons of mass destructions’ and their nuclear arsenals combined have no
power or no strength whatsoever in the least against only One Word from the
Lord Creator whom we worship!
The believers might be absolutely weak and helpless, but
our Lord Most Majestic whom we are united in worship is definitely not….His One
Word Alone is more than sufficient to annihilate whatever is in the heavens and
the earth….that is the unimaginable Power and Strength of the Lord Most
Majestic Most Supreme Who Created!!!
Had the Lord so Willed, no enemy of Allah or the believers
could have laid so much so as even a finger upon the believers….but that is
neither Allah’s Way nor His Sunnah….He does not change the condition of a
people, unless they (wish) to change it themselves!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 13 Surah
Raad verse 11:
11 ….. Verily never will Allah
change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their
own souls)! But when (once) Allah Wills a people's punishment there can be no
turning it back, nor will they find besides Him any to protect.
The mission or the agenda of the believers is to strive to
establish the Word of Allah Subhanah as Supreme in the earth; and the mission
of the disbelievers is to strive to prevent that which is inevitable from
happening!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah
Taubah verse 33:
He is Allah,
Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 8 Surah
Anfal verse 30:
They plot and they plan, and Allah plots and
plans! And Allah is indeed the Best of
Planners!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 58 Surah
Mujadalah verse 22:
They (the believers) are of the party of Allah. Truly
it is the Party of Allah which will achieve True Success.
Thus in conclusion brother, the need of the hour is not to
pick up a knife or a gun or to indiscriminately harm the disbelievers…..but
rather the need of the hour is to strive with everything in your ability to
unite this utterly disunited Ummah under the banner and the Guidance of the
Glorious Quran. That the Word of Allah
Subhanah will reign supreme on this earth is not a matter of ‘if’, but rather
‘when’!!! Its inevitability is guaranteed by none other than Allah
Subhanah….yours and our role is and should always be: ‘what have we done’ to
fulfill this Cause of Allah, lately?
It might take a few years, or a few hundred years, or even
a few thousand years; Allah Alone Knows Best….but there is no other way! If ‘jihad’ and ‘martyrdom’ is your desire and
your goal, then in these trying times of the Muslim Ummah, the gun or the bomb
is not the answer…but the answer is to tirelessly strive to unite the Muslims
under the one banner and Guidance of the Glorious Quran….
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 25 Surah
Furqan verse 52:
Therefore (O believers) do not yield to the
disbelievers, but wage a strenuous ‘jihad’ against them with this Quran!
…..then and only then will a foundation be laid in place,
and Allah is our witness brother, when the day arrives when the united Muslim
leadership invites the believers to take up arms against the enemies of Allah,
you will Insha Allah see that no able-bodied believer who has even an iota of
faith in his heart will be left behind in the ranks.
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any
other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be
assured of being led astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
