What is your opinion regarding the supplies that come to Afghanistan, most of which are from America?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My teacher, also, the matter of military supplies now, it is almost certain that they are all purely American.
The Shaykh : My brother, there is no doubt, there is no issue. I mean, can you imagine, where do the weapons come from for the Afghans? Not now, but for eight years, they come to them via Pakistan.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Fine, but who supplies Pakistan with the funds? Saudi Arabia and others. This is understood. But when the wind blows, seize it before the borders close and it becomes a second Palestine. And the fact that the country is rugged and so on, this does not stand in the way of modern organizations today. The important thing is that Afghanistan becomes...
The questioner : A stone, a blocked stone.
The Shaykh : But, exactly like Palestine. This is the major problem.
The questioner : Allah is the Helper.
Another questioner : Then the leaders who receive supplies from America are known to be innovators!
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Mujaddidi, Wakiili, and Mahomadi. These three, in the days of Sadat, before his death, were receiving aid from America through Sadat, and I know this!
The Shaykh : I do not object. I follow the reading of the magazine al-Jihad, which is written by this Azam.
The questioner : Abdullah Azam.
The Shaykh : I mean, unfortunately, we speak of the reality that there is now a disagreement among the leaders themselves. I mean, some of them agree to the formation of a provisional government, even if it is not from the mujahideen. One of the ones who agrees says that this should be named Tahir Shah, or what is it?
The questioner : Zahir Shah.
The Shaykh : That he should be the head of the provisional state. Siyaf has an excellent word: that this war, or this jihad, is an Islamic jihad. Only the mujahideen themselves can solve the problem. America does not enter, nor anyone other than America, ever. Just as we started it, so what? We end it and conclude it. One of these five, I did not remember his name, says: he has no objection to Zahir Shah being the head of the state, I mean the provisional state.
The questioner : It is possible it is Rabani, because he was one of his supporters.
The Shaykh : It is possible. I do not know, his name is mentioned but I do not remember it. The point: what does this one say? And I wonder how this exists, a leader among these forces. He says: he, even if he has errors, as every person has his errors and his sins, but he is in any case a Muslim. Whereas Siyaf is the one who shows you, and I am speaking this so you know that I am not unaware of this painful reality of disagreement. No, I am aware of it and aware of what is worse than it. Siyaf says about Zahir Shah: there is no doubt that he is a disbeliever, do you see? Whereas this one says: it is permissible for him to be what? The head of the provisional state, and he tells you he is a Muslim. So these forces do not have unity of thought, and they do not have unity of creed. Without doubt, the outcome will be bad. Therefore, I said to Shaykh Abdullah: the Afghan state will be established soon or far off, it will not be the Salafi state. But what is our position? We must do our duty to the best of our ability.
The questioner : We do not stand with our hands tied.
The Shaykh : That is it. We must do what is possible with our bodies, our minds, our money, and so on. And the least thing now: the borders are open. But the presence of such a person who is willing to be the head of the state, this one whom Siyaf or others say was the cause of communism entering the land of Afghanistan. Now one of these leaders sees no objection to him being the head of the state, and says: we believe he is a Muslim, even if he is a person of sins. Fine, head of a state, and his conduct is at least questionable morally and religiously, how do you accept this?! Suppose he is a Muslim.
The questioner : He wants the position. And Siyaf has good thinking. Siyaf, when you compare him to the others, he is better than them, without doubt.
The Shaykh : My brother, there is no doubt, there is no issue. I mean, can you imagine, where do the weapons come from for the Afghans? Not now, but for eight years, they come to them via Pakistan.
