These Are the Ones From Whom I Fear
For
the Jihad and the Mujahidin
!
Praise be
to Allah, alone, and may peace and blessings be upon the one
after whom there is no Prophet.
As for what follows:
Indeed, those who are quick to demoralize and abandon their
cause are known from their ambiguous words, as well as from
their clear words. They are known, and are not hidden from
anyone, and their evil is avoided. At the same time, there is
another group that harms the Jihad and the Mujahidin,
and severely damages the Jihadi manhaj - in the name of
Jihad, claiming to love Jihad and the Mujahidin,
defending them, etc. and few are those who have come to know
of them. So, it becomes a must to come to know them and some of
their characteristics and traits, in order that we avoid them
and warn from them!
And from the most common traits of this group of people:
1 They are known for their commotion, noise, ranting, lack of
manners, bad character all so that people would think that
they are upon some knowledge and action, and that they are from
the people of Jihad and ijtihad, and that they are
upon something and in reality, they are not upon anything!
2 They are known for raising their voices above the voice of
the Prophet, and above the Qur'anic text, and above the people
of knowledge. They do not respect anything or anyone. They are
driven by excessive zeal for Jihad, killing, and
fighting, and their zeal in reality is nothing more than
ranting, and more ranting - like a mirage that someone imagines
to be a waterfall!
3 They go for every opinion even if it is wrong that leads
to extremism, harshness, and the spilling of blood even if
that blood was forbidden!
4 They accuse everyone who opposes them even if he is right
of abandoning the cause, enmity to the Jihad and the
Mujahidin - all in order to turn the people away from them.
You find them involved in every debate and argument, with their
chests puffed up, and their voices raised. However, when the
time comes for something to be done, they turn back, look away,
and run away, and it is as if the issue doesnt concern them in
the least!
5 They utilize the methods of excitement, ranting, raising of
voices, excessive zeal, and raising of the slogans of fighting
and killing, in order to strike fear into the hearts of those
who oppose them all without any knowledge or insight, or
consideration of the guidelines and goals of the Shari'ah.
So, you see that they are unable to clearly see beyond their own
noses, and this is because they do not wish to see past this!
6 In addition to their utter ignorance, you see them and
with all boldness, lack of religious character, and humility
discussing very important and major matters of the Religion,
making this permissible and that forbidden, placing this in the
East and that in the West, declaring this person mistaken and
that person correct, etc. And woe to you if you were to point
out their mistakes, oppose them, or advise them they would
immediately make you out to be a sellout who is against Jihad
and the Mujahidin, as they claim!
7 If they look to the statements of the people of knowledge,
they do not do so in order to benefit or learn from them.
Rather, they wish to dig out the rare, strange, and doubtful
opinions from here and there in order to strengthen and back up
their rants, ignorance, falsehood, and excitability!
8 They belittle the rights and honor of others, and they never
uphold any agreement, promise, or pact. This is because they do
not know what it means to have agreement or safety, nor do they
know what it means to be treacherous, and what that entails of
punishment.
If they dispute with you, they are vile, and if they make an
agreement, they prove treacherous, and if you trust them with
something, they betray you - such as in the hadith
describing the traits of the hypocrites. Their manners and
character are disgraceful, and are reflective of a feminine way
of thinking and disputing!
9 They belittle the slaves of Allah, especially those of them
who oppose them in an issue. They look down on them with
arrogance because they as Satan beautifies for them, with
their excessive ranting and raving are the Mujahidin,
and everyone else is from those who sit back, and have abandoned
the cause!
10 They do not know of something called balance and justice.
They do not look for the truth from themselves or other than
them
as they are always right, and everyone else is upon
falsehood!
And with this, they combine the traits of rejecting the truth
and belittling the Creation and this is arrogance in its
purest form!
11- They have terrible manners, viscous tongues, assume the
worst about others, and they are the farthest people from the
manners of the Mujahidin and what the Jihad
requires of lofty manners, knowledge, and religious character!
12 Their share of Jihad is nothing but rant, chatter,
exciting others, and belittling the Creation. They have no known
past in Jihad, or presence on the battlefield!
However, the one who hears them and sees their excessive,
unfounded zeal would think that they are Abu Jihad, and Abu
Mujahidin! They would think that they did not leave a single
arena of the arenas of Jihad except that they visited
them! So, they appear to fill themselves with what they do not
give and do not have within them just like the one who wears a
gown of falsehood!
13 They know nothing of organization or structure, or hearing
and obeying. So, they do not respect or refer to any elder, as
the authority that they refer to is their desires, and
everything that is in accordance with their desires!
14 They only respect the scholar so long as his opinion is in
accordance with their desires. If he opposes them, they do not
leave a single mistake or shortcoming except that they smear him
with it, and smear it with him!
If he agrees with their saying, his statement is a proof that
cannot be rejected or opposed, and they fly with him to the
heavens out of happiness and joy. However, if he opposes them in
an issue or opinion even if he is right they belittle him
and his knowledge, and speak about the dangers of blindly
following the scholars!
And all of this takes place in the name of zeal for Jihad
and aiding the Jihad, and under the claim of defending
Jihad and the Mujahidin, and the Jihad and the
Mujahidin are free from them and their mannerisms, just
like wolf was free from the blood of Yusuf!
And the danger of this group of people despite their lack of
numbers is manifested in that:
-
With
their previously described manners, they turn the people away
from helping the Mujahidin, and from traversing the
path of effort and Jihad! With this, they elongate the
lives of these oppressive tyrants, and keep their regimes in
place longer whether they know it or not!
-
This
group of people is considered a major staging ground for
implanting spies and agents who work for the benefit of the
enemy, as the process of breaking up the Jihadi groups
by way of this type of people is very easy and simple. So, as
much as you insult and belittle those who oppose you, rely on
the method of ranting, excitability, excessive zeal, and
utilize an overwhelming manner of speech, you will be trusted
and looked to
and this is extremely easy for a spy or agent to
do. Many of the modern-day Jihadi groups were attacked
and broken up by way of this group of people, and the examples
of this are many if we were to wish to bring them all!
Therefore, my advice to my brothers especially the
Mujahidin (may Allah protect them from all evil) is to
beware of this group of people, and to not increase their
numbers, and to not turn to them, and to not lend them an ear,
and to not be deceived by their excessive and baseless zeal, as
excess is the brother of scarcity, and extremism is the brother
of laxity.
So, the times are tough, and they do not allow for us to pay too
much attention to such people or their likes from the ranters
and ravers...
