What is the obligation of Saudi youth in these circumstances?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, what is our role as youth now...
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : The role of Saudi youth now in these conditions?
The Shaykh : May Allah be their helper.
The questioner : O Allah, amen.
The Shaykh : May Allah be their helper. Their role is to train themselves on the Book of Allah and on the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and to conserve their strength, whether it be spiritual and moral strength or material strength, for the day when Allah (Mighty and Majestic) permits the Islamic state to truly be established, and the Muslims, with their various peoples, return to the necessity of being delivered from these many small states that have divided the unity of the Muslims and weakened their power. Today, glory be to Allah, a thought occurred to me regarding the blind partisanship that dominates the Islamic peoples in all lands of Islam. The thought that came to my mind is that I understood, and still understand, that partisanship in Islam is prohibited and that it leads to division and the exhaustion of the strength of the Muslims. Glory be to Allah, today a thought occurred to me as a detail of one aspect of these aspects, which is that it is the nature of every party that it wants to appear alone in the field in which it works. And since any party represents a side of the Islamic nation, there is no doubt that this party will have a great deficiency in all aspects, whether we call them scientific, social, political, or economic aspects. There will be a great deficiency. Why? Because this party does not represent the nation, but rather, unfortunately, the Islamic nation is scattered in this world. And therefore, I say, it will not represent the people in which this party is located. And if that is the case, then this party will work within the limits of the deficiency it finds due to its deprivation of support from the rest of the people in all those aspects. And then it will fall into contradiction with the Shari'ah. Do I know, is the example clear?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And I am thinking, because we were discussing, my brother-in-law and I, some of the Islamic parties. When I was in Sham, individuals from the Liberation Party used to frequent the Dar al-Kutub al-Mi'riyyah. Sometimes we would meet in the prayer that I would lead there; I would call the adhan and establish the congregational prayer, and some discussions would take place...
