Let's Hasten Towards The Forgiveness Of Allah And His Paradise!

.
O Muslims who are blessed by Allah Jalla wa ‘Alaa, especially the Ulama's and Scholars of this ummah, it is obvious that the condition of Islam and the Muslims today, wherever they are, is already in the condition as related by Rasulullah sallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam (SAW):

“The entire people of the earlier ummahs in everyplace will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their food." Someone asked, "Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?" He replied, “No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be froth and scum like that carried down by a torrent (of water), and Allah will take the fear of you from the breasts (hearts) of your enemy and cast al-wahn into your hearts.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what is al-wahn?” He replied, “Love of the world and dislike of death.” [An authentic hadith recorded by Abu Dawud and Ahmad]

Since the beginning of the Modern Crusade which uses the code “The Global War on Terrorism”, which the Muslims are now forced to deal with, the henchman of Dajjal, Bush had indicated it by calling the war against the Mujahideen, whom he refers as terrorists, with the term CRUSADE. And systematically, this continues to make Islam and the Muslims who are conducting jihad as a monstrous and evil creature.

Terminologies with bad connotations are always attached to Islam by them, where Bush also termed the ideology of the Mujahideen as “The Murderous Ideology of The Islamic Radical”, in fact he even pronounced this war the same as the war against Communism, the atheist people.

The Western rulers and the rulers who became their collaborators in the countries with Muslim majority, are also today making the Islamic concepts such as the Shari'ah, Jihad, Khilafah, etc. as their targets in this war. They labeled the Mujahideen as terrorists who want to establish a Radical Empire, from Spain to Indonesia. In fact, the American Minister of Defense at the time of the Dajjal Bush, namely Rumsfeld – had also said the same thing by saying that in Iraq, an Islamic Khilafah would be established if the American forces are pulled out from there (Washington Post 5/12/2005). The same goes with the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair as the closest ally of Bush, he also said it clearer by mentioning the four characteristics he describes as the "Satanic Ideology of the Terrorists": namely anti-Israel, anti-Western values, wanting to implement the Islamic Shari’ah and uniting the Islamic Ummah through a Khilafah (BBC News 16/7/2005).

And those policies of the Dajjal Bush (United States) and Blair (United Kingdom) are now continued by Obama, America's first black president. This proves that this war will continue for a long period of time, Obama is simply replacing with his own pass code which he named “The Overseas Contingency Operation”, namely the continued military operations against the Muslims who are upon jihad in any country.

The BNPT (National Counter-Terrorism Agency), as the official Indonesian government agency, is also consciously and aggressively carrying out the anti-Terror campaign by spreading terror against the Muslim community who are obedient towards the guidance of Islamic Shari'ah and who have the noble goal to implement the concept of Islamic politics in having a State (Daulah and Khilafah Islamiyah), on charges of being prospective precursors of terrorism. In fact, there is almost no definition of terrorism with the prime content of idealism other than Islam, so the Islamic militants become the one and only accused.

Whereas, throughout the history of this (Indonesian) nation, the Mujahideen of Islam, as the main layer of the Muslim militancy, had always been made as the tumbal (Javanese: things sacrificed to gain something better – ed.) offered at the nationalists' altar of worship for the carnal desires which they have deified. The betrayal of the nationalists against the Jakarta Charter, the massacres against the movement of the DI/TII (Darul Islam/Islamic Forces of Indonesia), the massacres by the military and intelligence apparatuses against the weak Muslims in Tanjung Priok, Aceh, Lampung, Banyuwangi, Haur Koneng, Sampang and others. To the allowance of the horizontal conflicts, and it should be suspected that there was partiality on the government apparatuses for the parties who attacked, as well as massacred the Muslims in Ambon, Poso and Sampit.

So the healthy minds of the Muslims and which are based on strong iman, will surely produce a single conclusion, in the form of a global resistance against these vile plots of the Crusaders. Meaning, jihad and the Mujahideen are the only urgent needs to answer their atrocities that have been bombarding the Muslim nations and massacring thousands, in fact even millions perhaps, of children, women and weak unarmed civilians of the Muslims in the various Muslim lands which they have seized.

O Muslim whom we love for the sake of Allah, it is pain upon pain that in today's reality, Jihad has become a faridhah ghaibah (the lost obligation) while the Mujahideen who carry out the resistance valiantly are smeared by being campaigned as terrorists, criminals, recidivists, Khawarij, Ruwaibidhah, al-Qa’adiyah and other foul addressings. Perhaps this is the real fitnah that come upon the ummah like what had been said by Rasulullah SAW: “Hasten to do good deed (obedience) before the coming of fitnah (trials) which comes like pieces of pitch-black night. Someone in the morning was still a believer and in the afternoon has become a kafir. Or in the afternoon was a believer, then in the morning has become a kafir. He is willing to sell his religion for the sake of getting pleasures of this world.” (HR. Muslim, see Sharh Muslim [2/198])

Jihad: Between Enthusiasm and Seriousness

O Muslims who yearn for the forgiveness of Allah and His paradise, in this era of oppressions we are experiencing and where we are always bombarded with a never-ending fitnahs, what can also be seen, in awe-inspiring ways, are the help and mercy of Allah for us. Among others are the increasingly fertile spirit of jihad among the Islamic youths at various levels of society (from poor small traders to intellectuals who live well off), the increasingly raging resistance of the Mujahideen in many Jihad lands and the visible despair of the enemies of Allah on the high cost and casualties of war which they themselves ignited. Subhanallah walhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar!

But my Brothers, it will be clearer and more forceful if the jihad that has been raging is kept constantly accompanied by an attitude of submission, humbleness and always begging for the forgiveness of Allah Jalla wa ‘Alaa, i.e. through our seriousness in learning the ‘Ulumul Shar’ie (religious knowledge – ed.), where none is more in need of these than the Mujahideen themselves. Because the practice of jihad is a great honor for the Muslims, therefore they require great and strong pillars, namely 'ilm (knowledge). The Mujahideen are a people who know how to be thankful if they are being reminded with Shar'ie Daleels and fiqh (juristic) opinions that are rajih (strong/correct). They are a people who honor knowledge and righteous Ulama's deeply.

The Mujahideen are a people who are sincere in the struggle to the last drop of their bloods, even if they don't get the rewards of the world and the praises of mankind. They are a people who are not discouraged if they are struck by disasters and defeats, just as they do not become smug and arrogant when they are tested with victories by Allah. Similarly, they are not a people who like to be angry with the parties of opposing views, in fact they see the people who have different opinions with the look of love and mercy from the loftiness of their knowledge of the reality of life and struggle.

O…, people who have become the proofs of the (accuracy of the) promise of Rasulullah SAW, that jihad will always take place on this planet until the coming of the Judgment Day, may Allah bless us and you, and make us a part of you. How big are the hopes of the Islamic Ummah who are oppressed and always firm upon the truth, on your existence, therefore do not disappoint us with the carelessness of your moves. We know, no one is ma’sum in this ummah after Prophet Muhammad SAW, but this great amaliyah of jihad would be tarnished by the hastiness that nullifies deliberation. Especially if their operational moves go beyond the limit of the Shari'ah. Because, why did Rasulullah SAW advice sternly and repeatedly the young commander of Islam, Usamah bin Zaid RA? Certainly, it is as a lesson for other Mujahideen so as to be cautious even if they are already entering the battlefield which requires us to think quickly but correctly.

Indeed, may we be made by Allah Tabaraka wa Ta’ala as a people who regain the glory through conducting jihad in His cause, by always upholding the rules of His Shari’ah, for us to be able to meet our noble Prophet, Muhammad SAW, who will be waiting for us at his wellspring in the akhira someday, amiin yaa Mujibas sailin!
