Is military preparation obligatory for every Muslim today?

The questioner : Regarding military preparation and facilitating it in the current situation in Afghanistan, is it obligatory for every Muslim to prepare himself, or not?

The Shaykh : This is a premature question. When the desired goal of that jihad is realized, meaning when the Muslim state is actually established in Afghanistan and the application of the Shari'ah rulings begins there in a better manner than in all other countries, then it becomes obligatory for all Muslims to migrate to that land. Unfortunately, we do not find today a country where the Shari'ah rulings are established. The scope of establishing these rulings is vast and very vast; it is not merely establishing some hudud (fixed punishments) while abandoning the establishment of others, nor is it merely establishing all the hudud while permitting the spread of corruption by any means, whether through magazines, newspapers, radio, television, or the like. Islam is a comprehensive law that addresses all problems and all harms that exist in a land where the rule of Islam is established. May Allah have mercy on you. When we see this state, whether in Afghanistan or in another country, the believers will rejoice in the victory of Allah, and it becomes obligatory upon them, meaning upon every true Muslim, to migrate to that land, following the path of the Salaf (the earliest generations), led by the Muhajireen (migrants) who migrated from Makkah to al-Madinah, which became the abode of migration. Migration continues until the Day of Resurrection. It is true that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning to al-Madinah. However, migration to lands where the law of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is established, from lands where it is not applied or where Islam is not ruled by, this migration continues until the Day of Resurrection. Yes, please.
