THE UMMAH’S FALL AND DISGRACE—THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE KUFFAAR

fear over the noises which the Hindu idol-worshippers and the dhoti-wearers are making. It is an utter disgrace. The shaitaani army of Pakistan had all the ‘courage’ and ‘power’ to brutalize their Muslim Bengali bretheren when Bangladesh was still part of Pakistan. Then Allah sent the Hindu idol-worshippers to humble the Pakistan military. 90,000 Pakistani soldiers, fully armed bowed their heads in disgrace and laid down their arms in a miserable and unparalleled episode of surrender at the feet of the idol-worshippers.

In this era no one was given a better opportunity to raise the Flag of Islam than the Taalibaan. It is cause for eternal regret and shedding of tears that they had ignored this divine opportunity and have now tasted the consequences thereof. Insha’Allah, if Allah Ta’ala gives us the taufeeq and the time, we shall deal with this missed opportunity in a future issue of The Majlis or Al-Haq.

When the Sahaabah (ridhwaanullah alayhim aj-ma-een) were given the opportunity to capture the kuffaar empires and to assert their political control and domination over the lands of the kuffaar, they (the Sahaabah) acquitted themselves admirably and honourably. We need not delve into their history. Everyone, even the kuffaar, are aware of the noble and virtuous reign of those noble and virtuous Sons of Islam.

When Allah Ta’ala bestows the opportunity of political sovereignty to a people, He in fact, bestows to them the opportunity to establish Divine Justice (i.e.the Shariah of Islam) and to raise the glory of His Word on this earth. He then watches how we proceed in the wake of having been awarded political control over a territorial region. The Qur’aan Majeed explicitly states:

“He (Hadhrat Musaa- alayhis salaam) said (to his people): Soon will your Rabb destroy your enemies and grant you sovereignty (or political power) on earth.Then He (Allah) will watch how you act on earth.” (Aayat 129 Surah A’raaf)

Bani Israaeel (the Ummat-e-Muslimah of that time) —the enslaved, humiliated and downtrodden people—were given the opportunity to rule. Their enemy (Fir’oun with his army) was destroyed by Allah Ta’ala. Bani Israaeel was not required to even fight a war against this enemy. Allah Ta’ala directly intervened and destroyed the kuffaar. When Bani Israaeel violated the sacred Pledge and abused their political power, Allah Ta’ala eliminated them and snatched away His bestowal of Political Power, and once again reduced them to disposable objects for the kuffaar to handle and mishandle at their pleasure. This is the fate of the Muslim Ummah of this age. In the words of Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) we have become “the muck” which flood waters bring down, and so we will remain until such time that we gain the intelligence to cleanse ourselves of the spiritual muck which we have acquired from the Western kuffaar.

If Allah’s aid is with us, the nucleur might and sattellite technology and the vast military arsenals of America, Britain, France and the kuffaar in general pose absolutely no threat for an obedient and humble Ummah —humble in their hearts and obedient to the Shariah. The Qur’aan Majeed declares this truth and issues the following ultimatum to the U.S.A. and to all kuffaar:

“.....”And, never will your army avail you in any way whatsoever, inspite of its numerical (and technological) superiority, for most assuredly, Allah is with the Mu’mineen.” (Aayat 19 Surah Anfaal).

The Mu’mineen refered to in this Aayat are such Mu’mineen who walk in the Shadow of the Sahaabah, not those who grovel at the feet of the kuffaar in emulation of their kufr way of life.

But at the same time the Divine Association (ma-ayyat) stated in this Qur’aanic verse is conditioned with obedience to the Shariah of Allah Ta’ala. Hence, the Qur’aan Majeed says:

“O People of Imaan! If you aid (the Deen of) Allah, He will aid you and plant your feet firmly (against your enemies).”

“And, if Allah should help you, then there is no one who can over-power you. But should He withdraw His aid from you, then who is there besides Him to help you?”

Yes, who is there to help Muslims when Allah Ta’ala has withdrawn His aid? Withdrawal of His aid signifies disaster, disgrace and defeat for Muslims. Our Taalibaan brethren had shifted their tawakkul to the U.S.A —to the United Nations —to China —to the evil faasiq government of Pakistan. The bitter fruits of such mis-directed tawakkul (trust) and treachery have been tasted by them and we all are still shedding tears and stunned by what we thought would never happen.

In their dying moments, our brothers, the Taalibaan, were pleading with Allah’s enemies—the communists of China—for missiles to knock out from the skies the warplanes of America. But this aid from the kuffaar was not forthcoming. While they were pleading with kuffaar and clutching at miserable straws, they entirely forgot that they had the power of Imaan and they had Allah Ta’ala to aid them. But they missed that opportunity. May Allah Ta’ala help us. May He once again give this Ummah an opportunity. May He wake up this sleeping Giant —this Ummah —from its drunken stupor of disobedience and kuffaar emulation. Perhaps this opportunity will come only with the advent of Imaam Mahdi (alayhis salaam) and Hadhrat Nabi Isaa (alayhis salaam). And, Allah knows best.

“You will not attain virtue (or piety) as long as you (abstain) from spending (that wealth) which you love.” (Qur’aan)

THE MAKTAB STRUGGLE IS THE SOLUTION FOR THE EROSION OF THE UMMAH

Western modernism and secularism have ruined this Ummah of Islam. All over the world, the onslaught of kufr, modernism and secularism is directed against Islam and the Muslims. Countries in Africa which were at one time Muslim-majority regions are today Christian-majority areas. Jahaalat (ignorance) coupled with poverty and the embrace of westernism by Muslims have alienated them from Islam. This is an incremental process. To most Muslims, even to the Ulama and religiously concerned Muslims, the process of kufrization and alienation of the Ummah is not discernable.

While in the urban areas (towns, cities and developed villages) some Islamic activity exists and the process of kufrization of the Ummah is somewhat combated and the Islamic bond held intact, albeit with great difficulty, the same cannot be said for tens of thousands of remote villages in the rural areas of both Muslim and non-Muslim countries where Muslims live. In these remote areas Muslims in general, and the children in particular, are cut off from Islam and its institutions, and exposed to the depradations of the kuffaar missionaries.

Some decades ago, irtidaad (becoming murtadd) and converting to a kufr religion, Christianity in particular, was an active process instituted by the proselytising Christian missionaries who had flooded the continent of Africa as well as Asia. With their material allurements and deceitful methods they preyed on the ignorance and poverty of the illiterate village masses. Innumerable Muslims were subtley drawn into the net and trap of kufr which the agents of shaitaan had laid. At the same time these agents had the strong support of the Christian governments of the West. Presently they enjoy the support of not only their own governments, but of the kuffaar governments which are governing all the lands of Islam. These governments and rulers are the agents of kufr and fronts of the Western governments whose active support they enjoy.
