To go on fighting is prescribed for the Muslims till
persecution and mischief persists.
Let me know whether the hurdles obstructing the way of the people who desire to
believe, and persecution and oppression, on the part of disbelievers, have ended in any part of the world or
not. Furthermore, may I know if the oppressed shoodars (Untouchables) of India,
who want to take refuge in the lap of Islamic equality, can enter the fold of Islam without any
fear of undergoing persecution. If the answer to all these question is 'No' and certainly it is a plain 'No' how can still be suspecting that Jehad has not Becomes obligatory for
believers?
When the weak are being
oppressed and persecuted in any part of the world, it is obligatory to fight on (against the oppressors) till they (i.e the weak) are delivered from this oppression and brutality.
Can you name a single point in the world where the Muslims are not being harassed and oppressed? How should you not listen to the oppressed that are crying and calling for help and deliverance in India. Kashmir,
Philippine, Chechnya and Bosnia? How should we ask for 'some further proof' to regard Jehad as obligatory in the presence of impeccable verses of the
Quran, and viewing how our brothers have been undergoing sheer brutalities at the hands of the disbelievers?
If the disbelievers kill a Muslim, it is obligatory to avenge his death.
Hundreds and thousands of the Muslims have been and are being killed in India & Kashmir. Modest and virtuous Muslim women are being raped and molested there by the Hindus. Are we not to retaliate against these brutalities? Twenty - five hundred thousand Muslims were mercilessly butchered in 1947. We are still to avenge their death. Twenty-five thousand of the Muslim women who were kidnapped in 1947 by the Hindus and the Sikhs are still in their possession, giving birth to Hindus and Sikhs. Who is going to exact full retribution for such heinous and inhuman crimes committed by the disbelievers? In Chins, Russia, Albania and Yugoslavia millions of innocent Muslims were put to death in the name of Revolution. The rest were forced to convert to Communism. A few months back in Bosnia 23 thousand Muslims were slaughtered just in a day. How long will we have to wait before we settle scores with the brutal Serbs?
When a people breaks its pledge, it is incumbent to fight it.
It has occurred time and again that the disbelievers break their treaties they have made with the Muslims. We need not go into remote past to find out such examples. We can quote many such instances from the contemporary history. After the establishment of Pakistan India was bound to protect and safeguard the life, property and mosques of the Indian Muslims in the light of the Liaquat - Nehru pact. But it never cared to honor this pact. Every other day the Muslims are massacred there in large numbers. Their houses, shops and factories are burnt to ashes. The Pakistan Embassy/High Commission has several times been attacked. Thousands of mosques including the historic Babri Mosque have so far been demolished in India. Last but not least, India is still ready to honor its promise to hold a plebiscite in Kashmir.
To fight against the aggression it is
incumbent on all Muslims to fight.
If any Muslim state or the Muslims anywhere in the world, face aggression, it
incumbent
on all the Muslims to resist the aggression and fight to protect and defend their Muslim brothers and themselves. These days seven and half-lac Indian troops are extirpating the Kashmiri Muslims. In Burma, the Burmese Muslims are being butchered mercilessly and driven out of their
hearths and homes by the Buddhists. The Serb beasts backed by the whole Christian world and actively supported by the Communists are devastating the whole of Bosnia and trying to exterminate the whole race of Bosnian
Muslims. The Russian army has assailed
Chechnya
and the Muslims there are struggling for their survival.
Let me draw your attention to the fact that the animals also fight to shield and protect their young ones even if they have to loose their lives. If a dog or a
cat happens
to attack chicks, the hen does not seek any legal opinion (a Fatwa) from a jurist as to whether it is lawful for her retaliate or not. She simply stands on the defensive and fights on against the cat or the dog, through she is quite weak before them. How ridiculous on our part it is that we are still
trying to ascertain whether Jehad has become obligatory or not, and
whether
it lawful for us to retaliate or not.
To capture the Terrortries Lost By the Muslims.
If the disbeliever
occupy
a territory belonging to the Muslims, it is incumbent on the Muslims to drive the disbelievers out of that place and restore their possession of the land.
(a) Spain that had been a Muslim territory for more than eight hundred years was captured by the Christians. They
(i.e. the Christians) literally and practically wiped out the whole Muslim population. Now it is our duty to restore Muslim rule to this land of ours.
(b) The whole of India, including Kashmir,
Hayderabad, Assam, Nepal, Burma, Bihar and Junagarh was a Muslim territory and it fell into the hands of the disbelievers just because we
disregarded Jehad.
(c) The Jews hold Palestine. Even our first Qibla, Bait-ul-Muqaddas is under their illegal possession.
So many other lands and territories which once belonged to and were
ruled by the Muslims, are now held by the disbelievers, and are awaiting the Muslim
Mujahdeen so that they might restore them to their real possessors.
I hope that these details would suffice to convince my brothers that, under the present circumstances, Jehad to all intents and purposes, has become obligatory for the Muslims.
