The Fear of Islam and the War Against the Kuffar



"Allah (alone) has power over, and is the (sole) master of, all things. The creations in Heaven and Earth, the very change of Night to Day, are Signs for those gifted with intelligence, those who whether sitting, standing or reclining on their sides, give praise to Allah and who frequently recall these creations in Heaven and Earth, (saying): 'You who are our Rabb - You created all these things for a purpose; the achievement is Yours alone.' " (3:189-191 Interpretation of Meaning)



The Way of Al-Islam and the ways of the West are incompatible - one is either a Muslim, a rejecter of the dishonourable, materialistic, profane, ways of life, or one is a Kaffir. The Way of Al-Islam is complete and perfect, and it is true to say that Islam and West cannot be reconciled - they are at war. As Muslims we are enjoined to fight, in a practical way, for Islam and for the victory of Islam:

"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]

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: Use your property, your life and your words in striving against the Unbelievers. Abu Dawud 14, 2498

"And fight them until there is no more Fitnah and the Way of Life is for Allah Alone." [8:39 Interpretation of Meaning]

Fight them, that is, until Islam is triumphant and we, as Muslims, live in communities ruled by an Ameer to whom we give bay'ah and who rules only according to Quran and Sunnah where Shari'ah is the only law. This means a Khilafah - and it means Jihad to achieve it, for the kuffar, as they have shown, do not want us to have our own communities where we live according to the laws which Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has given us.

For well over a hundred years the kuffar have invaded our lands, ruled over us, or given power to their apostate puppets - and when, as commanded by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, we resist their occupation, their oppression, their kaffir ways, and their appointed tyrants, they have used force, humiliation, imprisonment, torture and killing to subdue us and keep themselves, or their puppets, in power, as is so evident from recent events in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The very basis for the Islamic Way of Life - of being a Muslim - is to submit only to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala; to strive to do what Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has commanded, and to strive to avoid doing what Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has forbidden. This simple beautiful submission is the exact opposite of the Western, the kaffir, way of living - for the way of the kaffir is the way of arrogance, of dishonour, of greed, of materialism.

The Way of Al-Islam, correctly understood and correctly lived, produces a certain type of person, just as the way of the kaffir produces a certain type of person. The Muslim person is evident in the Mujahideen of Jenin, Falluja, Tora Bora, the Battle of the Trench and elsewhere, with their simple desire to do what is honourable: to fight and if necessary die for Islam, for the promise of a life in Jannah. The kaffir person is evident in the swaggering Amerikan troops who shot unarmed injured Mujahideen; who strip the Mujahideen naked and humiliate them; who in their abject cowardice reduce places like Falluja to rubble with their bombs and missiles.

If we desire a further illustration of the difference between these two opposite and contradictory ways of life let us contrast the example of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam), with the example of Bush the hypocrite.

In Bush, we have the archetypal arrogant kaffir who uses lies, deceit, rhetoric and treachery - and who cowardly hides behind legions of bodyguards and security apparatus: who demands that everyone, everywhere, bow down to the ideas, the ways, he and his people uphold. He sits safe and secure in his luxurious modern palaces while his troops, his minions, at his command, kill, torture, and humiliate Muslims. In many ways, he is akin to Fir'aun, and the puppets doing his bidding are akin to Hamaan. In contrast, in the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) we have the archetypal honourable man, as is so evident in Seerah, in Ahadith: someone who is just, fair, honourable, well-mannered, humble, forgiving, and yet a warrior, a warrior who does not hide from his enemies.

If we desire to further understand the difference between the two ways of living we have only to consider what life was like in Kabul during the brief period when the Taliban ruled there, and contrast it with the life that exists in large cities in any Western, any kaffir, country. Kabul was safe - most Western cities are not. Kabul was poor, very poor - while all Western cities exude wealth, luxury, decadence. But such wealth, such luxury, such decadence has not produced, and does not produce, decent honourable, people. It does not even produce people who are "happy" most of the time.

In places like Britain, or America, there are whole areas, especially in cities, of lawlessness, of crime, of drug-abuse, of poverty, of real injustice - and one has only to walk, say, at night around the city centre streets of places like Leeds, or Bristol, to find hundreds of fine examples of kaffir manhood and womanhood: arrogant, drunk, violent, dishonourable people intent on "having a good time", intent of living this life, indulging themselves. These are the type of people who make-up most of the troops in places like Iraq - so is it any wonder they behave the way the do when confronted with Muslims who despise their decadent, their dishonourable, ways?


Yet hypocrites like Bush want to export this kaffir way of living to Muslim lands, just as he and the others like him in their hypocrisy, bleat and bleat about how "superior" their kaffir ways and their system is to ours, when the proof of their lies, their deceit, their hypocrisy, their blindness, their arrogance, is evident every day, every night, on the streets, in the homes, of their own lands. For example, how many women are raped in Britain each week? Hundreds; thousands. How many people are brutally attacked? How many are robbed? How many homes are broken into?


The simple truth is that the West, the kuffar, fear Islam. They fear those - like the Mujahideen in Iraq, Palestine, and elsewhere - who are examples of Islam, and thus do the kuffar in their fear, in their cowardice, and in their abject ignorant hatred, seek to kill, humiliate and torture these Muslims: seek to "break them" and have them abandon the purity, the beauty, the nobility, of Islam for the decadence, the dishonour, the profanity that is the kaffir way of living.

The kuffar fear Islam and the honour, the dignity, the beauty it brings to Muslims - for example, the kuffar in their fear, their arrogance, desire to have our women dishonour themselves and become like kaffir women, which is why the kuffar are trying so hard to undermine Adhab Al-Islam and why in their hypocrisy - forgetting their bleatings about freedomm - they ban headscarves in Western schools and why they hate to see our sisters in Hijab.

Yet, in many ways all this is good - for it reveals the kuffar for what they are. In many ways we have reason to praise Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala for enlightening us, for providing us with modern examples of Muslims to be proud of, to admire, to seek to follow.

What better examples can there be than the Mujahideen fighting the kuffar and their puppets in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere? What a wonderful modern example we have in Sheikh Usama Bin Muhammad Bin Laden (hafidhahullah) - who gave up a live of luxury, of ease, to fight in the Cause of Allah, who has spent years living simply, among the Mujahideen, and who - as is so evident to everyone to has met him - is a humble, honourable man who submits only to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and who desires only to do what Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has commanded.

"But they never lost heart for that which did befall them in Allah's Way, nor did they weaken nor degrade themselves. And Allah loves as-Sabireen (the patient ones)." [3:146 Interpretation of Meaning]

What we must remember is that Islam makes us stronger than the kuffar, with all their military might, all their wealth, all their seeming power - all of which Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala could take away in an instant. We are stronger because we, as Muslims, focus on what is honourable, what is Muslim, and in practical terms this means that we focus on Jannah. We strive for the ultimate goal, not for the temporary, fleeting, rewards of this life - and it is this striving which makes us strong and which the kuffar really do fear, for we are prepared to suffer and if necessary die, in this world, to gain Jannah. Have we, as an Ummah, forgotten this simple truth? Are we, as an Ummah, as Muslims, being tested by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala?

"And over you are Watchers - just, honourable - who know all that you do. Thus shall those who do what is commanded be in bliss while the disobedient will be in the blazing Fire." [ 82: 10-14 Interpretation of Meaning]

"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]


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

If we, as an Ummah, can regain this simple beautiful striving, this perspective of Jannah - if we do indeed place our desire for the reward of Jannah before the temptations of this world - then we can and will, InshaAllah, defeat the kuffar and their apostate allies in places like Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan and elsewhere.



May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala forgive us for our mistakes and may He guide us to and keep us on the Right Path.
