The Muwahhid replied: "This is my country! Who on earth told you that we hate this country!? Dare us to hate any of Allah's creations (without a divine permit). Who created this land which we both stand on today? Was it not Almighty Allah (SWT)? We love this country and every other country in the world because they are all creations of Allah (SWT).
Our problem is not with the land, rather it is with the kufr (non-Islamic) law which is in complete contradiction with our tawheed in Allah (SWT), and the Almighty has ordered us to reject it and to make our utmost effort to eradicate it from the face of this earth.
Furthermore, why should we leave!? We are more than capable of fulfilling our Islamic duties here. You are the ones who should leave as you are not able to maintain your tawheed and walaa' and baraa' (alliance with the believers and disassociation from the disbelievers). In Islam it is well known that if you cannot fulfil your duties in any country or land you are obliged to make hijrah (migration). Therefore you are the ones who should leave."
The secularist said: "BUT…"
The Muwahhid said: "No! Wait…I've not finished yet!"
The secularist said: "OK, go on, sorry about that…"
The Muwahhid
said: "OK, no problem. As I was saying, before
you rudely interrupted me…Why should we leave when we are more than capable of
doing all of our Islamic duties!? You are the ones who should leave because
your Deen (way of life i.e. Islam) has been severely affected.
Also, nowadays
there is no difference between this country and any Muslim country! All
countries today implement kufr law. Therefore there is no
difference between this country and, for example, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia.
Wherever we go today, we will face the same problem.
The secularist
said: "Yes but you were born here; therefore,
you should live by the laws in this country!"
The Muwahhid
said: "A'oodhubillah (I seek
refuge in Allah)! Let me first ask you a question…Is the law in this country
Islamic or kufr?"
The secularist
said: "Well…Umm, hmm, well, actually it
is kufr."
The Muwahhid
said: "Subhaanallah! So are you telling
me to obey kufr law!?"
The secularist
said: "Well, I wouldn’t put it like
that…"
The Muwahhid
said: "What do you mean, 'I wouldn’t put it
like that'!? Stop beating around the bush and beat George Bush directly! The
law of this land is kufr, and you are asking me to become Kaafir by
telling me and other Muslims to obey the kufr law.
Did you know
that Allah (SWT) says: "O Prophet (and believers), fear Allah and do
not obey the Kaafireen and the Munaafiqeen!" (33:1)
Therefore, Allah
(SWT) has made it prohibited for us to obey any law other
than His, or any person other than Him. In fact, to obey someone
other than Allah is known as shirk ut-taa'ah (the shirk of
associating with Allah in obedience), and this will take you outside the fold
of Islam!"
The secularist
said: "Yes, but you people are hypocrites
because you attack this country's government and yet you take benefits from
them!"
The Muwahhid
said: "Yes we do take benefits from them, and
so does your mother and father! Taking benefits is halaal;
therefore, are you condemning us for doing something halaal?"
The secularist
said: "Yes it is halaal, and my
parents do take benefits. But what I'm saying is that you guys are hypocrites
for attacking the government and benefiting from them at the same time!"
The Muwahhid
said: "NO! You are the hypocrite for
declaring Laa ilaaha illallah and yet you commit shirk and
contradict your Shahaadah by obeying Allah AND somebody else!
In fact, another way in which you are a hypocrite is that you are against this
government too!
Your
organisations lobby, picket and demonstrate against the policies of this
government because you are not pleased with certain laws and policies in this
country! So based upon your own arguments, you are the true hypocrite! You take
benefits from this country yet you demonstrate against the laws of this land
and you condemn the Prime Minister or President! And this is exactly what we do
too! However, the major difference between us and you is that we follow
the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (SAW) whilst you follow
the Sunnah of the Kuffaar and your own evil satanic desires!
Furthermore, rizq (provision)
is from Allah (SWT)! Therefore, they are not the providers…it is Almighty Allah
(SWT)! I thought you knew this basic principle in Islam!? Also, the Messenger
Muhammad (SAW) used to attack the Quraysh openly and publicly, yet he still
used to take benefits from them! Are you saying that he was a hypocrite
too!?"
The secularist
said: "No, we are not saying that! (The
secularist changes the subject) But you guys are minorities! How do you expect
to change anything when nobody listens to you?"
The Muwahhid
said: "Yes we are a minority, and so was
Rasool-Ullah (SAW), yet Allah (SWT) gave him and his Companions (RA) victory
and authority on earth. Besides, the majority of people will go to Hell…why
would we want them to be with us!? Allah (SWT) says: "And if you obey
the majority who are on earth, they will lead you far astray from the path of
Allah. They follow nothing but conjectures and they are nothing but
liars." (6:116)
Allah (SWT) does
not give us victory based upon numbers. Rather he grants victory to those who
are sincere and have firm eemaan – belief and actions based
upon the Qur'aan and Sunnah."
The secularist
said: "How could you say that the majority of
people will go to Hell!? You people are complete lunatics and extremists!"
The Muwahhid
said: "You have just proven to me that we are
on the haq (truth) and you are on the baatil (falsehood)!
The Quraysh used to say the exact same thing to Rasool-Ullah
(saws), therefore you are just like them. They used to call him (SAW)
magician, lunatic, terrorist, extremist, poet etc. and now you have just given
us the same titles! Thank you very much!
You have not
been able to bring any proof for any of your statements. I have not heard you
quote the Qur'aan or Sunnah once; rather all your arguments have been from your
own rational desires. For this reason, I would like to end this discussion here
as we are getting nowhere. As-Salaamu 'Alaikum wa-Rahmat Ullah..."
The secularist does not reply to the salaam and walks off huffing and
puffing.
