The student's remarks on the influence of tribalism in Somalia and the Shaykh's agreement with them.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: My Shaykh, before he finished the speech, I have a picture, meaning from these papers, that tribalism in Somalia has an influence. This tribalism, my Shaykh, has an impact.
Al-'Uwayshah: Yes.
The student: To the extent that the minister, or whoever wants to reach a certain position, joins some tribes so that they will support him. In reality, my Shaykh, there is a good benefit in the matter of calling people to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) if you see that they should draw their attention to the fact that they should infiltrate the tribal leaders, or those below them, or so, so that they can call to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) within these tribes. For example, if they make one of these tribes adopt, for example, the Salafi methodology, one tribe or two tribes, or each group, for example, I swear by Allah, I am from the Khateeb tribe, I call within the Khateeb tribe, and so on. So they say that the government began to erode the middle of the tribes until the government was able to make all the tribes submit to it. By what? By corruption and immorality and the like. So look, my Shaykh, if it means...
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
Al-'Uwaishah: If you would be kind, my Shaykh, the papers.
The Shaykh: All right, in the name of Allah.
Al-'Uwaishah: May Allah reward you with good.
The student: Look, my Shaykh, this is one of the points they will mention. They say that all these parties raise the banner of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance and follow tribalism and tribalism. And for the sake of so-and-so tribe, when they want to gather people for fighting, they take it as a slogan. And when the preachers advised some tribal leaders that it is not permissible for them to do that and that they should not lead people to these pre-Islamic battles, they said, "We will enter the depths of the Fire for the sake of defending my tribe," may Allah protect us from what they said. So then, my Shaykh, was able to... Ziyad Bari and the colonialists made this tribal sentiment...
The Shaykh: They attracted these tribal leaders.
The student: Yes, indeed. So if our brothers are able to try, according to our methodology which we benefited from you, to purify and educate and educate these tribes in Islam, then this will be, if Allah wills, a source of good.
The Shaykh: All right.
Al-'Uwaishah: I read, my Shaykh, and finally, and from the guidance that is not hidden from the people of knowledge is to use the appropriate lawful means for the occasion, as that is derived from the texts of the Shari'ah, such as his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 49a.
The Shaykh: And the intention is to use force when it is more likely.
Al-'Uwaishah: When.
The Shaykh: It is more likely that it will achieve the public benefit of the Shari'ah.
Al-'Uwaishah: That is what was in my mind, my Shaykh, to clarify. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good...
Al-'Uwaishah: Achieve the public benefit of the Shari'ah.
The Shaykh: Yes, indeed. And otherwise, as is your current situation, in our advice, that you should descend from the highest and first rank.
Al-'Uwaishah: Pardon me, my Shaykh, and otherwise, as is your current situation, in my advice.
The Shaykh: In our advice.
Al-'Uwaishah: That.
The Shaykh: That you should abandon the resistance, because it does not yield the expected goal, and limit yourselves to calling and spreading among the people. And on this occasion, we draw attention to something important from his way (peace and blessings be upon him).
Al-'Uwaishah: Pardon me, my Shaykh, we draw attention to something.
The Shaykh: From his way.
Al-'Uwaishah: Important.
The Shaykh : Yes.
Al-'Uwaishah: Something important.
The Shaykh: Yes, important, from his way (peace and blessings be upon him), which is appropriate for the occasion. So we say: We learned from the explanation you sent with your letter that the client ruler was attracting the partisan tribes in your land through their leaders, so that they control, or each one of them controls his tribe, making it align with the desires of the client ruler. And you know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was able to establish the strong core of the Islamic state in the Blessed City, relying, after Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), on the Ansar from among its people.
Al-'Uwaishah: Relying, after Allah.
The Shaykh: On the Ansar from among its people.
Al-'Uwaishah: The phrase, my Shaykh, relying, after Allah the Exalted, on the Ansar, on the Ansar.
The Shaykh: After Allah the Exalted.
Al-'Uwayshah: Yes.

He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand
مَن رأى منكم منكرًا فليغيِّره بيدهThe Shaykh: And the intention is to use force when it is more likely.
