Describing the enemies of Islam as terrorists
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Many of the enemies of Islam may say, attaching accusations to Muslims that they are the people of terrorism and its source. Why do many Muslims hesitate to describe the enemies of Islam as terrorists? Are these people described as terrorists, or what?
Answer:
Describing them as terrorists is sufficient; they are described as the enemies of Allah, the enemies of His Messenger, and the enemies of the believers. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:1] [At-Tawbah 9:23] and your sons [At-Tawbah 9:23]. [Al-Ma'idah 5:51] Do not take the Jews and the Christians as awliya (close friends of Allah); therefore, it is obligatory to be hostile to them and to hate them for the sake of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. This is what Allah the Exalted commanded us to do. Yes.

Answer:
Describing them as terrorists is sufficient; they are described as the enemies of Allah, the enemies of His Messenger, and the enemies of the believers. Allah the Exalted said:
O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَO you who have believed, do not take your fathers
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا آبَاءَكُمْas allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief
أَوْلِيَاءَ إِنِ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْكُفْرَ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِAnd whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.
وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
