Is it permissible to address the issues of Muslims, such as the issue of Afghanistan, by turning to the unjust rulers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right, I want to take over your question: Is the entire organization limited only to turning to the unjust ruler?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : So your answer to the doctor was incomplete, otherwise these are political matters and we do not want to get involved in them.
The questioner: I said.
The Shaykh : I am not asking you what you said; we are the people of the hour. We are called in Syria: "We are the sons of the hour."
The questioner: Correct.
The Shaykh : So it is not enough to ask the ruler to move forward in front of us while we are soldiers behind him, training, and they have a trained army as you said, and so on. This is not enough, especially since you are certain that this request will fail. I mean, your certainty is greater than the failure of jihad in Afghanistan, right or not?
The questioner : Correct.
The Shaykh : All right, if this is your certainty that if you ask these people to move forward and to do jihad, then their presence or absence is the same for you, right or not?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Or[Al-Ahzab 33:4], as long as these people are like this, they are not to be addressed with a request. So what preparation are you then asking for?
The questioner : Do we go back to the first points? Is there a problem if we go back?
Another questioner : To where we started.
Al-Halabi : We go back to where we started.
The Shaykh : No problem, briefly, for example, what is it?
The questioner : I say: My heart is not at ease to enter a battle.
The Shaykh : What is the answer to what do we do?
The questioner : I say: I do not allow myself or anyone I love to enter a battle with a mixture of beliefs, different beliefs, and we enter wanting victory.
The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you! Ask.
The Shaykh : Is this the answer to the question?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : (may Allah have mercy on him)! I say (may Allah have mercy on him), this question has gone and fallen.
The questioner : I told you we go back as we started.
The Shaykh : No, we go back and understand clearly. We have been talking for hours. Now, briefly, what must Muslims do in this hour of preparation?
Al-Halabi : The thing we always circle around, our professor, in our calling, praise be to Allah, I mean, of course, this!
The Shaykh : I mean, what I say is purification and training.
The questioner : That is it.
The Shaykh : But I do not think he says this.
The questioner : This is what I say, O Shaykh. I tell you: As long as the beliefs are different and they go to battle with different beliefs.
The Shaykh : I see you now, I am making you a partner with him, making you a partner, I see.
The questioner : How do we enter a battle when we have not purified or sifted?
The Shaykh : You now have no difference between the current reality, which is the Russians attacking Afghanistan, and between you previously before the Jews attacked Palestine. The situation for you is as if nothing has happened in these lands at all. I mean, the principle of purification and training is a principle for the long term.
The questioner : That is correct, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Correct, our topic now is the topic of the hour. What do we do if an Islamic land like Afghanistan is not attacked? We say: We wait for the leader, we wait for unity, we wait for material preparation, we wait for the order from the states, and so on. What do we do? The answer comes briefly: purification and training. I say purification and training, but this is not the immediate answer.
The questioner : Yes, correct.
The Shaykh : So what is the answer, people?
The questioner : I say the answer, and Allah knows best: If the obstacles are removed, then going.
The Shaykh : We say: This land is open now. I fear most that it will become a second Palestine. So why do you close the borders when the doors are open? Why do you make Afghanistan a second Palestine before it becomes a second Palestine? Why?!
The questioner : I am asking. Now it is a second Palestine.
The Shaykh : They made it a second Palestine.
The questioner : It will become a second Palestine now.
The Shaykh: They are not the same.
The questioner : Rather, it is more severe because the multiplicity of leaders present in Palestine are present in Afghanistan in terms of... its nature... Russia, to this day and until Allah inherits the earth and those upon it, you cannot, regarding the nature of Afghanistan, make it like Palestine, because the jihad in Afghanistan!
The Shaykh : This is contradictory in Palestine, and you cannot make it like Palestine.
The questioner : No, O Shaykh, allow me and understand my words.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : I say: The nature of the Afghan lands now is mountainous, and the mujahid, no matter how much the Russian tries to prevent him from jihad, he cannot, because they climb the mountains and fight through the mountains. As for Palestine, Palestine is flat land and it can be closed by any means. As for Afghanistan, to this day, if the Russians try, no matter how much they try, they cannot close it.
Another questioner : This is from the inside. Like now, from the inside, the Jews cannot stop them. But the question is about the outside, the outside now.
The questioner : Even from the outside.
Al-Halabi : No, these mountains are inside Afghanistan, but now if the surrounding states, which I think is Pakistan.
The questioner : Pakistan, I mean.
Al-Halabi : Ah, if Pakistan prevents entry, what do the others gain?
The questioner : The Afghans?
Another questioner : No, it prevents people.
The Shaykh : All Muslims, Saudis, Syrians, Algerians, and so on.
The questioner : They are closing it, but the others who are outside.
The Shaykh : This is the difference we circle around, and he circles around it with us, and this is the problem, we are all circling around it. I mean, the truth, Allah is the helper, there is no power and no strength except with Allah.
The questioner : It confuses, by Allah, this issue, O my professor. I mean, one searches, I mean, to be convinced and to be at ease in his heart, not that, by Allah, we love talking, and you know this, O our Shaykh, but even one...
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to guide us.
The questioner : Or this issue is one of the issues of the hour, by Allah.
Another questioner : Or we support the Afghan Muslim mujahid with correct belief over the Arab with incorrect belief.
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : So your answer to the doctor was incomplete, otherwise these are political matters and we do not want to get involved in them.
The questioner: I said.
The Shaykh : I am not asking you what you said; we are the people of the hour. We are called in Syria: "We are the sons of the hour."

The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Or
Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior
