"God Put Bush In Charge"--Boykin

The US general, Boykin, commenting on Mr.Bush said: “Why is this man in the White House? The majority of Americans did not vote for him. Why is he there? He’s in the White House because God put him there for a time such as this.”

We are in agreement with Mr.Boykin in this claim. We too believe what the general has claimed regarding Mr.Bush. Our Qur’aan compels us to believe in the truth of this claim and so does our intelligence. In this regard the Qur’aan declares:

Rulers and governments are installed and removed by only Allah Ta’ala. Just as Allah Ta’ala allows Shaitaan a free reign to operate and spread his mischief, so too does Allah Ta’ala permit the kuffaar to rule and create anarchy and strife here on earth. And, everything has a cause and is subject to the Wisdom and Command of Allah Ta’ala.

Undoubtedly, Allah Ta’ala has installed Mr.Bush in the White House just as He has intalled shaitaan as the king of evil on earth. One of the reasons for his installation is to punish Muslims for their disobedience. This sort of punishment is similar to the Divine Punishment which is unleashed in the form of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and California type furnaces, etc. which leave havoc and destruction in their path. So too is it with Mr.Bush. Undoubtedly, according to the Qur’aan, the US oppressors and torturers are manifestations of Allah’s punishment on Muslims—and Muslims have no alternative but to accept this Qur’aanic fact.

The evidence for this claim is the Qur’aan Itself. Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur’aan Majeed:

The Qur’aanic reference here is to the defeat and humiliation of the Muslims of the time at the hands of the kuffaar such as Nebuchanezzar. Just as Allah Ta’ala had snatched away political power and control from the Muslims of the bygone ages, i.e. before the advent of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), so too has He snatched away power from us in this age. Just as Allah Ta’ala had given control of Musjidul Aqsaa to the kuffaar in the past, so too has He done in this age. The cause for our defeat and humiliation has always been the same —gross disobedience and treason against Allah Ta’ala.

Although Mr.Bush has been placed in the White House by God as Mr.Boykin claimed and as we too believe, it should be remembered that it is also God Who has put Shaitaan in power and it is God Who allows him to operate with impunity in his mission of mischief and evil. In exactly the same way it is God Who is temporarily allowing Mr.Bush, Mr.Boykin and the others of their ilk the present leeway to commit aggression, oppression and torture.

But this freedom to behave with impunity in brutalizing people should not be viewed with comfort by Mr.Boykin because the reign of oppressors is always short. They are dispatched by Allah Ta’ala to inflict some punishment on Muslims, but their own doom has already been decreed. The impending doom of the US is quite transparent from the quagmires it has become entrapped in. Inspite of believing itself to be a ‘superpower’ or the only ‘superpower’ and the ‘power’ to control the destiny of the world, it cries out like a child for aid and support from third world countries.

The facts on the saga of American wars and invasions proclaim loudly the weakness of this ‘superpower’. The US was impotent to invade Iraq during the so-called Gulf War without the active, moral and material support of 50 other countries. In its invasion of Afghanistan, the US was dependent on alliances, not only with third world countries, but with war lords and ‘bandits’ who were knitted into what has been termed the ‘Northern Alliance’. Without these desert wanderers, the US could never have made any gains against the Talibaan nor could they have secured any position for its soldiers who are today living in barracks and camps in Afghanistan.

Furthermore, without Mr.Musharraf’s co-operation the US would not have achieved even the minimal, fragmentary and brittle success which it advertises so vociferously and flamboyantly to the world.

Inspite of its huge military presence in Afghanistan, the greater part of the country is forbidden territory for America’s invaders. In fact, the American-puppet government does not control even the city of Kandhar as is apparent from news reports which indicate on going attacks against American forces.

The situation is worse for the US in Iraq where fear and death strike daily. Undoubtedly, Allah Ta’ala has put Bush in the White House, and Allah Ta’ala has brought the US to Iraq and Afghanistan to punish Muslims. But since, after all, only Muslims are the true Believers who proclaim the Tauheed of Allah Azza Wa Jal, He is not allowing the invaders any peace.

Inspite of the abject weakness of the Muslims, the invaders cannot sleep in peace. The entire region has become a land of fear for them. There will be no decisive victory for the US. As for the Muslims — as long as they do not return to Islam and as long as they do not shrug off the yoke of western culture, they will remain in a state of humiliation and degradation. Neither will the oppressed have peace nor the oppressors. There will never be a “new world order” of peace as Bush imagines. The anarchy will only increase. Bush and Boykin will remain only as long as Allah Ta’ala desires the punishment to continue for the disobedient Ummah of Islam.

The Qur’aan Majeed has the following message for the Ummah:

RAJM — STONING THE ADULTERORS

Recently there has been intense comment on the Islamic injunction of Rajm or stoning to death the adulterers. If adultery -zina– committed by married persons is proven on the basis of Shar’i evidence, the Hadd (prescribed punishment) of Rajm is applied.

The validity of Rajm is based on all the Sources of Islamic Law (the Shariah of the Qur’aan). There has NEVER been the slightest difference of opinion among the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah regarding the validity of Rajm. There is complete Ijma’ (Consensus) of the Ummah on the validity of the Hadd of Rajm.

Denial of Rajm is kufr—kufr which expels the denier from the fold of Islam. This naseehat is for Muslims—those Muslims who have been thrown into doubt and confusion by the many modernist munaafiqeen lurking within the folds of the Ummah. These modernists who happen to be the agents of the Western Kuffaar as well as the agents of Shaitaan have abortively attempted to refute the validity of Rajm. In their exercise of kufr, they have failed.

They will not gain recruits and followers for their kufr from the rank and file of the Ummah. Only those who have been condemned to kufr by Allah Ta’ala entertain views of kufr. To appease the kuffaar, the munaafiqeen present utterly baseless arguments to refute Rajm so as to make their perculiar brand of ‘islam’ palatable and acceptable to their western masters. Such people have been born in kufr and lead lives of kufr even if they were born in the homes of
