The Bosnia and Herzegovina Issue and the Duty of Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
One of the brothers wants to go to Bosnia to fight in the struggle in the path of Allah. Do you advise him to fight there, or in some other country?
I see that the obligatory duty of Muslims regarding the issue of Bosnia and Herzegovina is not what they are doing today. The truth is that Muslims have not fulfilled their duty with regard to Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is not my concern that a person is killed, or a person is captured, or a person is dismembered; because these are among the calamities by which Allah expiates sins, and with the intention of seeking reward, Allah raises their ranks thereby. Every person will die, and whoever does not die by such a death will die by another. But what concerns me is that an established Islamic republic, recognized as such, falls into the hands of the Christians! That is what wounds the heart and tears the liver. Where are the Muslims? How many millions of Muslims are there? A huge, large number.
By Allah, if they were locusts sent against the Serbs, they would have eaten them up. But I do not know whether the Islamic governments are incapable or what? If they are incapable, then Allah excuses them,And Allah says: [At-Tawbah: 91] So if the rulers in the Islamic states have been sincere to Allah and His Messenger, but they are incapable, then Allah has excused them. But we do not know whether this condition is fulfilled in them or not? Is it fulfilled in them that they have been sincere to Allah and His Messenger? Is it fulfilled in them that they are incapable? Allah knows best.
