"The
more they fight Islam, the more Islam intensifies. The more they try to
turn off the brightness of Islam, the more it flares. When they leave
Islam alone, it spreads and it extends. For them, it is a lose lose
situation."
'Only path to victory', By al-‘Alim al-‘Abid Ahmad Jibril (hafidhahUllah)
Stay firm. Do not back down on your belief.
Do not change. Do not compromise. Do not mellow. Do not delude. Do not
waver. The victory of the flag of laa ilaha illAllah
Muhammadar-Rasulullah flying high above is a victory no doubt, but the
ultimate victory is to die steadfast on the truth of Tawheed.
Look at the People of the Trench, the people of the Ukhdood. The blind man who was the helper and the friend of the king believed and Allah gave him his eyesight back. He believed in Tawheed, he was killed. The young boy who believed, he was killed. The priest who taught him, he was killed. The boy speaking the truth after they failed to kill him by the will of Allah, he said you will be able to kill me if you take an arrow out of my backpack and say in the name of the Lord of this young boy. He was killed and he was on the Tawheed, and the masses who believed in them were also killed. That was a victory. When the blind man was killed on Tawheed, that is considered a victory. When the priest was killed on Tawheed, that was a victory. When the boy was killed on Tawheed, that was a victory. When the trenches were dug, the fire was blazing and they threw the people in it, that was a victory to them.
When the mother with her baby stood before the fire and they took one after another and then they got to her last nursing infant and she became hesitant, the nursing infant spoke by the will of Allah the golden words that we need today. He said, “Mother be patient, you are on the truth.” Everyone believed. They were minutes into Islam and they were minutes into Tawheed, not a single one returned as a disbeliever. They knew that this boy was not killed except by the will of Allah, the One and only One Allah. The Yaqeen manifested into their hearts, that even the blazing fire before their eyes did not waver their faith. We are not minutes into Islam, we are born generation after generation, we have had Tawheed and a lot of time for Tawheed to sink deep in our hearts, but did we let these meanings sink into our hearts?

"Verily, those who put into trial the
believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them),
and then do not turn in repentance, (to Allah), will have the torment of
Jahannam, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire." [Suratul-Buruj:10]
Those killed were believers and the killers were the disbelievers, but we do not know that they were doomed on this earth. The killers lived on, we do not know that they were ever doomed on this earth. Of course in the Akhirah Allah said if they did not repent:
"…will have the torment of Jahannam…"
But in this earth, it seemed and it appeared that they are victorious. My point of that is what Ibnul Qayyim said, “remaining steadfast on the true Tawheed and dying on it is the ultimate form of victory.”
The flag of Islam is hovering high above on our lands, that is another form of victory, but the ultimate form is when a person dies on laa ilaha illAllah Muhammadar-Rasulullah.
The Verse I mentioned early on which I will conclude with:
"And We wished to do a favor to those who were weak (and oppressed) in the land, and to make them rulers and to make them the inheritors." [Suratul-Qasas:5]
Look at the conclusion of that Verse:
"And to establish them in the land and We let Fir’awn and Hāmān and their hosts receive from them that which they feared." [Suratul-Qasas:6]
Allah said and We will show Fir’awn and Hamaan and their soldiers what they feared. Allah will bring to reality what they feared. What did Fir’awn fear? What do all the Fir’awns fear? The victory of Islam and the demise of tyranny and their thrones. Fir’awn feared the Tawheed that a young boy in banī Isra’eel is going to bring, therefore we ask Allah to show the junior and senior Fir’awns of today that which He showed the Fir’awn of Musa.
When the oppression reaches its peak, and it has.
When the war is on the Deen of Allah, and it is.
When the oppressed have no one to turn to but Allah, and we do not have anyone to turn to but Allah, and Allah is more than sufficient, we do not say it as minimizing it, Allah is more than sufficient.
Then that is when Allah intervenes. That is the meaning of the last verse in Surah Yusuf:
"(They were reprieved) until, when the Messengers gave up hope and thought that they were denied (by their people), then came to them Our Help, and whomsoever We willed were delivered. And Our Punishment cannot be warded off from the people who are mujrimoon." [Surah Yusuf:110]
When the Messengers give up hope, they think that they were denied, that is the end of it and that they lost, that is when the victory of Allah comes upon them. This is an Ummah that gets sick, but does not die. This is an Ummah that dozes off at times but does not sleep, not since it awoke fourteen centuries ago. If it was destined to die, it would have died with much worse calamities, but it is guided by Allah and He is alive and He never dies. The more they fight Islam, the more Islam intensifies. The more they try to turn off the brightness of Islam, the more it flares. When they leave Islam alone, it spreads and it extends. For them, it is a lose lose situation. Allah is watchful over those who deter. Allah is independent of those who desert. The wrath of Allah will never be turned away from those oppressors. Victory of Allah hovers above the believers waiting for the word of “Be” from Allah, and it is done. So do not occupy yourself with the timing of the victory, but rather occupy yourself with implementing:
"Ya’budunanu laa yushrikuna bi ahay’a (that they should worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me)."
