Allah says:
"They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to complete His light, even
if the disbelievers hate it. He is the One who sent His Messenger with
guidance and the Deen of truth to make it prevail over all
religions/ways of life, even if the mushrikīn despise it." [9:32-33]
Thus, every Muslim must be certain that
complete victory is coming, that Allah will honor this Deen, that the
future belongs to it, even if all nations rabidly contend against us,
and that we shall definitely rule the earth by the might of Allah, the
Powerful, the Strong. And whoever rejects or doubts that is nothing but
one of the disbelieving fear-mongers. Allah, the True King, says:
"And We have written in the Zabūr after
previous revelation that the earth shall be inherited by My righteous
slaves. Verily in that is a message to a worshiping people." [21:105-106]
The truthful and trusted Prophet (saws) said, “This matter shall reach all that the night and
day have reached, and Allah will not leave a house of mud or fur (i.e.
dwellings in the city or desert) except that He will make this Deen
enter it, through glory or humiliation – glory by which Allah glorifies
Islām and humiliation by which Allah humbles the disbelievers.”
[Musnad Ahmad]. This was narrated by Tamīm ad-Darī, who then said,
“I recognized that in my own household. Those of them who accepted Islām
received much good, honor, and glory. And those of them who remained in
Kuffr were afflicted with humiliation, subservience, and the jizyah.”
The people of Tawheed (Ahlu Tawheed) must know that a ‘Aqeedah for which pure blood has been spilled and for which Shuhadah have fought, lived, and died will definitely be victorious. Its arrows will extend to strike the neck of every kāfir. And it will enlighten the heart of every Muwahhid. But we must all realize that the condition for victory is following the Prophet (saws). If this adherence is present, victory shall come, and if it is absent, there shall be no victory. No other cause rivals it, as the scholars have explained.
Ibnul-Qayyim said, “As such,
victory and complete support is only for the people of complete Imaan. Allah says:
"Indeed, We shall support Our Messengers and
those who believed, in the worldly life and on the day the witnesses
rise." [40:51], and He says:
{So We empowered those who believed against their enemy, so they became victors.’ [61:14]
Thus, whoever is lacking in Imaan will also lack in his portion of victory and support.” [Ighathat al-Lahfan]
The Prophet (saws)
also guided us – with great detail – to both the causes for victory and
the hindrances to achieving it. Ibnul-Qayyim said, “Thus
did he (saws) teach them the tactics of war and
confronting the enemy, as well as the paths to victory and triumph –
such that if they were to learn them, comprehend them, and maintain them
as they should be maintained, there would never be an enemy that
could stand against them.” [I’lam al-Muwaqqi’in]
And from the several causes for victory is Tawheed. Allah says:
"And they will not cease to fight you until
they make you turn from your deen if they are able." [2:217],
and He says:
"They only resented them because they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised." [85:8]
This is the reality, which all Mujahideen
must comprehend. The battle between the Muwahhideen and the Kaafireen is
fundamentally a battle of ‘Aqeedah, and Allah has confined this enmity to
the Deen. So the Kaafir, regardless of his Kuffr – whether he is a
secularist, communist, christian, or jew – do no hate the Muwahhideen
except for their untainted īmaan. Any slogan raised for any battle
between us and them, other than the slogan of Deen, is an utter lie and
deception, for the enmity of the Kaafir asli or the Murtadd against the
Muwahhideen Mujahideen is never based in an economic or political motive.
It is only a battle between Kuffr and Imaan, a battle of ‘Aqeedah, a matter
of Deen.
