Are Martyrdom Operations Lawful

Obeying Only Allah

Let us consider the following quote from one of the apostates who are aiding the kuffar in their war against Islam. Let us consider this quote, and understand it, and let this understanding, InshaAllah, give us the strength, the hatred, the determination, the anger, we need to fight these apostates, and fight the kuffar - to fight for Islam, and aid our brothers and sisters who are being oppressed, humiliated, tortured and killed by the kuffar.

<quote>

The Iraqi government warned yesterday that Islamic clerics who incite violence will be considered "participating in terrorism," and said that a number of them have already been arrested.

"The government is determined to pursue those who incite acts of violence. A number of mosques' clerics who have publicly called for taking the path of violence have been arrested and will be legally tried," said Thair al Naqeeb, spokesman for Ayad Allawi, prime minister.

Since this quote is a good summary of the strategy and tactics of the kuffar in their war against Islam, in their on-going campaign to subdue, subvert and try to change Islam, it is worthwhile to consider it in detail.

1) "The Iraqi government..."

This regime - for a regime it is - derived its power from the kuffar, as it does the bidding of the kuffar for the benefit of the kuffar and is only able to enforce its dictates by using the armed forces of the kuffar. It is a secular authority determined to enforce the "laws" of the kuffar for the benefit of the kuffar and, from an Islamic point of view, it is totally illegitimate and all its representatives and functionaries have made themselves apostates by allying themselves with the kuffar and by their killing of Muslims. Therefore, any and all representatives of this kuffar-appointed authority are legitimate targets.

"You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with and loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam), even if they are their fathers or their sons or their kin-folk..." [ 58:22 interpretation of the meaning]

"Aiding the Non-Muslims over Muslims - no matter which form of aid or co-operation it be, even if it is merely in speech - this is clear Kufr and sheer hypocrisy. The one who does this has perpetrated one of the actions which negates Islam, as has been specifically stated by the Imams of the Dawah and others, and such a person is not a believer in the aqeeda of al-Wala and al-Bara (being a patron of someone or disassociating solely for Allah)." Sheikh Safar bin 'Abdir-Rahmaan al-Hawaali

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: The Prophet said, "A Muslim is a person who avoids harming Muslims with his words or his hands. And a Muhajir [an emigrant] is the one who abandons all that Allah has forbidden." Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 76, Number 491

From whom does this regime does its so-called "authority"? Why - the power, the weapons, the troops, the money, of the kuffar, especially Amerika, whose leader, Bush, has set himself up in his arrogance to compete with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala by trying to dictate how we Muslims should live, how and by whom we should be governed, and what laws we should obey. Thus has Bush made himself into a modern Fir'aun.

2) "Islamic clerics who incite violence..."

This is pure kuffar-speak and a rejection of the Islamic way. The kuffar way is to announce and strive to enforce laws based upon fallible human ideas and fallible human concepts, whereas the Islamic way is to obey only the laws of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, manifest in Shari'ah.

The very concept of "inciting violence" is a kaffir one - a concept we should and must reject, openly and honestly. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala commands us to be violent towards our enemies as he commands us to incite violence - for violence is simply using force that may cause injury to another, and violence is a part of fighting. Thus we should reject each and every kaffir law based upon such a kaffir concept - such a law has no place in Islam.

"And there shall be no blame for those who take revenge after they have suffered injustice. The way (of blame) is only for those rebellious ones who oppress others and who insolently walk on the earth: for these there will be a painful torment indeed." [42: 41-42 Interpretation of Meaning].

"Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you a great determination; and know that Allah is with those who are Al-Muttaqun." [ 9: 123 Interpretation of Meaning]

"And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out." [2:191 Interpretation of Meaning]

"And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, 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 Allah... " [ 4: 75 - 76. Interpretation of Meaning.]

"Fighting is prescribed for you, even though you may dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike that which is good for you, and that you love that which is bad for you. Yet although you may not know, Allah knows (what is good for you)." [2:216 Interpretation of Meaning]

What are we and our brothers in Iraq inciting? Rebellion against an oppressive regime. We are inciting, encouraging, the use of force to free our brothers and sisters and create an Islamic community ruled according to Quran and Sunnah and these alone. This is our duty - given to us by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala - but these apostates, and their allies, and the kuffar themselves, demand that we do not do this duty. Furthermore, they say that if we attempt to do out duty, as Muslims, they will arrest us, imprison us, humiliate us, torture us and kill us.

3) Those Muslims who obey Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and seek to fight oppression, seek to fight for Islam, will be accused, by the kuffar and their apostate allies, of "participating in terrorism."

Again, this is pure kuffar-speak. This word "terrorism" is and should be irrelevant ot us - it is kaffir concept. What matters to us, is striving to obey Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. What the kuffar and their apostate allies call us, what they say or write us, is not important.

As Muslims, our duty is clear - we must fight the kuffar; we must fight the oppression, the tyranny, imposed upon us by the apostate allies of the kuffar. We must strive, through Jihad, to establish an Islamic way of life - communities, lands, ruled by an Ameer who rules according to Quran and Sunnah and these alone.

"Fight against those who do not believe in Allah, or in The Last Day, and who do not forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, as well as those among the people of the book who do not acknowledge the Deen of Truth, and fight them until they pay the Jizya with willing submission." [ 9:29 interpretation of Meaning]

4) "A number of them have already been arrested..."

That is, the apostate allies of the kuffar have arrested Muslims for simply doing their Islamic duty, their duty as Muslims. And they have arrested them because these apostates are obeying the will of the kuffar instead of the will of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Those arrested having done nothing wrong - according to Islam - but the kuffar demand on pain of our arrest and imprisonment that we obey them. Is not this the arrogance of Fir'aun?

5) "[They] will be legally tried..."

Tried - according to the laws of the kuffar. We must remember, and inform our brothers and sisters, that those Muslims have done nothing wrong, according to Islam. Indeed, they are striving to do what is right, according to Islam - and for this the kuffar and apostate allies hate them, just as they hate the authentic Islam of our revival.

The whole legal system of the kuffar is irrelevant to us. Their laws, their trials, their Judges, their sentences, their prisons, should mean nothing to us. The only true judge is and will be Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. The only true justice is that of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala Who will judge us and reward us with either Paradise, or send us to The Fire. We are answerable only to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and we should fear only Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. We should obey only Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and those, such as an Ameer, who judge and who rule according to the Will of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala as manifest in the Quran and Sunnah.

"Because obedience is a form of worship, it is not allowed to obey anyone unless it conforms with obedience to Allah and His Messenger (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam)." Sheikh Muhammad Abdul-Wahhaab: Kitaab At-Tawheed

In conclusion - let us let such statements by the puppets, the lackeys, the allies of the kuffar, make us angry, make us determined to resist them. Let such statements, let the actions of such apostates, make us angry and determined, and thus let us once again pledge ourselves to fight in the Cause of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala - for the triumph of Islam and for the humiliation, the defeat, of the kuffar and their apostate allies.

Obeying Only Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala
21 Jumaad Al-Thaani 1426

"Any of the four would now be in a position to negotiate a smaller sentence if he gave himself up and cooperated with the police..."

The above quotation, taken from a newspaper report following the aborted martyrdom operations in London, clearly and starkly shows the difference between the way of genuine Islam, and the materialistic ways of the West.

The Way of Islam is for us to view this mortal life of ours a merely a means to strive to attain Jannah - and we expect that our life should be full of tests, of problems, given to us by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. For Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"Every soul shall taste death. We shall try you in good and bad ordeals." 21:35 Interpretation of meaning.

"In exchange for their lives and their goods, Allah has given those who believe Paradise. Thus will they fight in Allah's cause, and thus will they kill, and be killed." 9: 111 Interpretation of Meaning

"Let those who would trade the life of this world for the life Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allah. And those who do fight in the Cause of Allah - whether they be killed or are victorious - will have bestowed on them, by Us, a great reward." 4: 74 Interpretation of Meaning.

What is important for us, as Muslims, is not whether we have a long or a short sentence in some kaffir prison, but rather whether we obey the will of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala manifest to us in the Quran and Sunnah.

Of course the so-called "moderate Muslims" - who seek to imitate the kuffar - would ask that Muslims "co-operate with" the kaffir Police. Basically, these kaffir-imitating Muslims would place the comforts, the rewards, of the kuffar before the rewards of Jannah, just as they would obey the kaffir authorities, and the laws of the kaffir, before they would obey the laws of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala . That is, their first loyalty, their obedience, is to kaffir nations, to kaffir governments, rather than to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. They have taken the laws of the kuffar, the government of the kuffar, the democracy of the kuffar, as a Taghut which they obey in defiance of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

"Because obedience is a form of worship, it is not allowed to obey anyone unless it conforms with obedience to Allah and His Messenger (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam)." Sheikh Muhammad Abdul-Wahhaab: Kitaab At-Tawheed

"And it is known by necessity in the Deen of the Muslims and by the agreement of all the Muslims that whoever follows a Shari'ah other than the Shari'ah of Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) then he is a Kaffir and it is like the Kufr of the one who believes in some of the Book and disbelieves in some of the Book." Sheikh ul-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah: Al-Fataawa, Vol. 28/524

"Allah does not forgive that partners should be set up with Him to be obeyed, even though - if He pleases - He forgives whom He pleases everything else, for whomsoever sets up partners with Allah in obedience, has most certainly manufactured a grievous error. " (4: 48 Interpretation of Meaning)

We must state openly, again and again, that as Muslims our duty to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala comes before the laws that the kuffar make, and if - to do our noble duty to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala - we have to disobey some kaffir law or other, then we should and will. Thus, we should not be afraid of striving to do our duty, as Muslims, even if it means we might be imprisoned in some kaffir prison or even if it means we might be killed. Indeed, we should embrace such things, for as Allah says:

"He [Allah] created life and death that He might put you to the test and find out which of you acquitted himself best." 67: 1-2. Interpretation of meaning.

"The life of this world is nothing - only play and amusement. What is best is the dwelling in the Life-to-Come - for those who possess Taqwa." 6:32 Interpretation of Meaning

"And there shall be conflict between you while you dwell, resting for a while, on Earth which shall provide for you." 2: 36 Interpretation of Meaning

"This is My path which is straight, true. Therefore follow it, and do not follow other paths all of which will lead you astray you from this, His Way." 6:153 Interpretation of Meaning

"The matter of these manmade laws is as clear as the clearness of the Sun - it is open and definite Kufr which there is no secret or even dispute about. There is no excuse for anyone who adheres to Islam, whomsoever they may be, to act upon them, or to submit to them, or recognize them." Sheikh Ahmad Shaakir: Umdat at-Tafseer 4/174

May Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) protect us from all forms of Al-asabiyyah Al-Jahiliyyah, forgive us for our mistakes, and guide us to and keep us on the Right Path.

"We should be extremely cautious of attacking the honour of the Mujâhideen and broadcasting that which will harm their image, and delving deeply into looking for their faults and mistakes and exposing them. Rather, what is obligatory upon us in this situation and in these times is to stand by them, defend their honour, cover their mistakes, and to have enmity towards those who desire to harm them or publish what will harm them." Sheikh Isa al-Awshin (Muhammad ibn Ahmad as-Salim)
