"And what is wrong with you that you do not fight in the Cause of Allaah, and for those weak, ill­treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this place whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help.

"Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allaah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (Shaitaan). So fight against the friends and allies of Shaitaan. "  [ 4:  75-76.  Interpretation of Meaning.]

America has gravely miscalculated.

No matter how many Mosques and Madrassahs in Muslim countries are closed by the apostate allies of the American infidels, no matter how many Muslims and Mujahideen are arrested and imprisoned in the hypocritical and mis-named war on "terrorism", there will be - Insha'Allah - no forgetting the humiliation the Americans have inflicted upon the Mujahideen they have detained, just as we shall not, Insha'Allah, forget the lies, the hypocrisy, the arrogance, the dishonour of the Americans as they slaughtered thousands of Muslims in Afghanistan with their weapons of mass destruction.

No matter how much propaganda the Americans and the Western Media spew forth, no matter how much the Americans may spend bribing apostate governments and making allies with hypocritical Muslims, no matter how many Kufr laws are passed, there will be - Insha'Allah - no stopping the Islamic awakening and revival: an awakening and revival which makes a clear distinction between Haqq and Batil, which rejects imitation of the Kufr in thought, word, deed and ideas, which seeks to establish an Islamic community governed only according to Shari'ah, and whose followers submit only to Allah (SWT).

For the truth of these times of ordeal and crises for the Ummah is that in their hauty arrogance the Americans have "overstepped the mark": they have become more and more insolent and - trumpeting their military and economic superiority over other countries - have set themselves up as rivals to Allah (SWT), seeking to get Muslims to submit to them and their laws, and believing as they do in their pride and insolence that they and they alone have the supreme right to judge, to make laws, to decide what is right and what is wrong.

But this arrogance, this pride, this insolence, will not - Insha'Allah - be forgotten by us for assuredly Almighty Allah (SWT) will humble them as he humbled others before them, just as Almighty Allah (SWT) will punish them as He has punished others who believed themselves invincible and who also sought to humiliate, subjugate and destroy the true Believers.

The humiliation the arrogant Americans have inflicted upon the noble Mujahideen - forcibly shaving off their beards in defiance of the Sunnah of our beloved prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam), forcibly injecting them with drugs, forcing them to bow their heads and remove all their clothes, shackling them and keeping them in cages - this humiliation of such noble Muslims will mark the beginning of the downfall of America.

For already - in Africa, in Arabia, in Afghanistan, in Pakistan, in Asia, in Europe and elsewhere - Muslims alone or gathering together in groups, offer Du'a to Almighty Allah (SWT) to ask that Allah (SWT) aid the Mujahideen, strengthen the Emaan of the Muslims, and humble America:
 

Allahumma! Forgive us, and forgive all the true Believers, men and women, and all Muslims, men and women, and make them all as brothers and sisters to each other. End our disputes, and aid us against our enemies.

 Curse the infidels who oppress the Muslims and who prevent them from following Your path.

Allahumma!  Create disputes and difference between the infidels and make them lose heart, and punish them with that torment which You will use against those who disobey You.

Allahumma!  We seek Your help against them and seek Your protection from their ignoble deeds.

Allahumma!  We leave You to judge the Jews and the Christians, just as we know You are the final judge of all disbelieves.

Allahumma! Destroy our enemies: those who oppose our Way of Life.

Allahumma! Help and assist the Mujahideen. Help and protect them as a powerful leader would help and protect them. Make their aim true so that they hit their targets, and provide them with strength.
 

It is reported that the Holy Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
"Whoever did not go out for Jihad, nor help equip a Mujahid, nor look after a Mujahid's family whilst he is away, then Allah will smite him with a sudden calamity before the Day of Judgement."  [On the authority of Abu Umamah, related by Abu Dawud]

Allah (SWT) knows best.
