Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And if we were a group that gathered on the basis that we would be the ones establishing jihad and not under the banner of anyone?
The Shaykh : And is this a reality or a fantasy?
The questioner : May it be a reality, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : If the matter is a matter, then, if Allah wills, if Allah wills, tomorrow the state of Islam will be established. But the matter[An-Nisa 4:123] means, may Allah reward you, you must remember with us a legal and cosmic reality, which is: the Sunnah of Allah in His creation, and you will not find any change in the Sunnah of Allah. Among these divine cosmic laws is the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Ar-Ra'd 13:11] And then, this jihad that you assumed in your last words just now, it is not hidden from you that it requires fundamental, basic, strong, and very strong preparations... You, and no one else, can imagine, let alone make it a reality, that all these necessary prerequisites become a reality between one evening and the next. This is not the Sunnah of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and I think you believe in this statement?
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Good.
The questioner : I spoke on the basis that, if we assume there is preparation from a long time ago and the opportunity comes.
The Shaykh : And why do you search in hypotheticals and not address the reality, because we learned from our scholars that those who occupy themselves with hypotheticals forget themselves regarding realities, if the expression is correct.
The questioner : Yes, it is correct. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And is this a reality or a fantasy?
The questioner : May it be a reality, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : If the matter is a matter, then, if Allah wills, if Allah wills, tomorrow the state of Islam will be established. But the matter
Paradise is not [obtained] by your wishful thinking nor by that of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed for it
ليس بأمانيّكم و لا أمانيّ أهل الكتاب من يعمل سوءا يجز بهIndeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves
إنّ الله لا يغيّر ما بقوم حتّى يغيّروا ما بأنفسهمThe questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Good.
The questioner : I spoke on the basis that, if we assume there is preparation from a long time ago and the opportunity comes.
The Shaykh : And why do you search in hypotheticals and not address the reality, because we learned from our scholars that those who occupy themselves with hypotheticals forget themselves regarding realities, if the expression is correct.
The questioner : Yes, it is correct. May Allah reward you with good.
