No solution except with Tawheed and Hadeed !

For Educational purpose only and to raise Intellectual and Political awareness!

Yes, there is no solution except with Tawheed and Hadeed (iron). So Islam, o worshippers of Allah, is a Book that leads and a sword that is sharp. Like the Lord of the worshippers said:
“We have already sent Our Messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain (their affairs) in justice.” [57:25]

 And that is not all.
“And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might.” [57:25]

Like there is in the Qur’an a Surah with the name al-Qalam (pen), there is a Surah in the Qur’an with the name al-Hadeed (iron) as well. So this is the strong Manhaj, and the Siraat al-Mustaqeem (straight path) that was walked on by the Prophet (saws) who is kareem (noble). And it is described in the previous Books, the Torah and Injeel, like it is mentioned by Imaam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali: “He is sent with in his hand an educating iron stick.” Meaning the sword. And like it is mentioned by Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim and adh-Dhahabi, that in the Torah the name of the Prophet (saws) is: ‘Ad-Dahuk al-Qattal” (The smiling killer). And it is narrated, but I couldn’t find a chain of narration, from the Prophet (saws) said: “I am the smiling killer.” Ibn Katheer said: “This means that he smiles with his allies, and kills his enemies.” And al-Qattaal (in Arabic) means: "Something that indicates that there is a lot of slain."

The Prophet (saws), as you all know, there is a Surah with the name of al-Qitaal (fighting), and this Surah is, Surah Muhammad (saws). So al-Qitaal (fighting) goes hand in hand with the name of the Prophet (saws) and it can not be separated. That is why Imaam Ahmad has narrated, and this was declared Hasan by al-Hafidh al-’Iraqi, and Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah declared it correct, and the Scholars Ahmad Shakir and Shaykh al-Albani declared it Saheeh; narrated ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “I was sent before the Hour.” What did he say? With what was he (saws) sent? Did he say: “With peace?” Did he say: “With the wings of a pigeon?”

The Prophet (saws) said: “I was sent before the Hour with the sword.” In an other phrase he said: “I was sent with the sword between the Hour.” Why was that? “Until Allah alone is worshipped.”

So the main target is Tawheed and the path is: The Iron.

The Prophet (saws) said in a Hadith that was also narrated by Imaam Ahmad, he said: “I am the Prophet of mercy,” that was not all, because a lot of people, and a lot of callers to Islam stop right here when mentioning this Hadith. While the Prophet (saws) said: “I am the Prophet of mercy and the Prophet of epic battle.” And in another narration: “And the Prophet of epic battles.”

So the Path is; Mercifulness and Battles must come together.
