The Muslim's Obligation Regarding the Christians' Gathering to Wage War Against the Muslims

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: What is the Muslim's obligation now regarding the current events of the Christians gathering to wage war against Islam and the Muslims?

Answer:
If there is a solution within his power and he has the ability to prevent the Christians, he must do whatever he can. But if there is no solution within his power and no ability, he should turn to supplication; he should increase his supplication. Allah is near and responsive, Blessed and Exalted is He. And
Allah defends those who have believedاللَّهَ يُدَافِعُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
[Al-Hajj 22:38]
We do not despair and we do not fear the disbelievers as long as we are upon faith and the oneness of Allah. So Allah is with us.
Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا وَّالَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ
[An-Nahl 16:128]
We should have good expectations of Allah, rectify our deeds, repent to Allah, and increase in supplication and humility. Yes. The disbelievers are not having their first hostility toward the Muslims; from the beginning of creation, the disbelievers have fought the Muslims, harassed them, and threatened them. But the faith of the Muslims keeps them firm in the face of their enemy.
