Qunut against the polytheists throughout the year and jihad against the disbelievers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In this time, the evil of the mushrikeen (those who associate partners with Allah) has increased against Islam and the Muslims. They kill and shed blood, they fight them and attack their beliefs, and they invade them in their thought. Their conspiracies against the Muslims are clear. So, do we recite qunut (a supplication made standing in prayer) against them throughout the year, even if the qunut is not continuous until their evil is removed?

Answer:
There is no doubt that if the one in authority sees the immortality of the Muslims, he will be divided, even if the time is long. No, no. As for the fact that the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) and the disbelievers expose themselves to the Muslims, that is not strange. Allah does not read this
And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religionوَلَا يَزَالُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَن دِينِكُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:217]
. What Allah was able to do, He informed us that the mushrikin and the disbelievers will continue to fight the Muslims until the Day of Resurrection, until they turn the Muslims away from their religion. This is a known thing. Therefore, Allah legislated fighting them and raiding them to refute their evil and stop their aggression against the Muslims. While some smoke from the account of the modern era, they say that Islam is not in fighting, nor is it in jihad, but only in defense. This is wrong. Islam came with the call and came with jihad to spread on earth and to cut off the root of disbelief. Because if we stop fighting them, they will not stop from it. Notice now that when the Muslims left jihad, the disbelievers began fighting the Muslims in every place. If there had been jihad among the Muslims, what has happened now from the disbelievers would not have happened, such as the killing and displacement, and so on. Yes. They strike the Muslims, kill them, destroy the fortresses and houses, and destroy the villages and cities, and they say that Islam is not a religion, it is something else. Islam is a religion of peace, a religion of agreement, a religion meaning that Islam is weak. And if the disbelievers fight for their disbelief and their misguidance, how would they not fight the Muslims for their religion and their creed? By Allah, He commanded them to jihad and made it obligatory upon them. The disbelievers did not dare except when the Muslims left jihad and said that it is a religion of peace, a religion of agreement, a religion of love, a religion of good council, and so on. The answer that satisfies the disbelievers. We ask Allah for safety. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
