Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it correct to say that the Ummah is not currently prepared for jihad, due to some of them being distant from implementing the judgment of the Book of Allah and the spread of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and bid'ah (religious innovations) among them?
Answer:
No, the Ummah is prepared, but the Ummah does not have the strength to match the strength of the enemy. So they must build up their strength; if they build up their strength, they will fight the enemy. Yes.
