You said, our Shaykh: They are unable to enjoin good and forbid evil by force; therefore, they are even less able to engage in jihad. But they say:
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I said a moment ago that these people are not even able to enjoin good, changing the situation by enjoining good and forbidding evil through force.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : And I said they are not able to do this; so how do they want to engage in jihad? From this standpoint, they say: We want to fight these rulers who, when we try to enjoin good and forbid evil, beat us and judge by other than what Allah has revealed.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : They want to strike this rule so that they may appoint those who, in their opinion, will rule by Allah, so that they can begin enjoining good and forbidding evil. Is there a detailed explanation from the Shaykh on this matter?
The Shaykh : ... If you agree with us that enjoining good is easier than jihad; did they succeed in enjoining good?
The questioner : No, of course not.
The Shaykh : All right; will they succeed in jihad?
The questioner : Definitely not.
The Shaykh : So then? They tried, they tried; I mean, their logical reasoning led them to address the issue with such logic; I sometimes say: You, for example, have the strength and energy to lift fifty kilometers on your back or with your hand, or whatever; you want to lift one hundred kilometers; is this logic?
The questioner : No, of course not.
The Shaykh : Will the result of this be destruction and defeat, or will it be rising up, energy, and strength? There is no doubt that the outcome of this will be loss.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes? And peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. Welcome, please go ahead. Fatah? Turn on the light.
The questioner : All right; is there something else?
The Shaykh : I say: How many years have passed for these people who tried their logic, which deviates from both reason and the Shari'ah? How many years have passed for them?
Another questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
Another questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Shaykh: And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings, welcome.
Another questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Welcome, yes. Welcome, hello, how are you?
Another questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you. Are there chairs or not?
The questioner : There is.
The Shaykh : Let's go. And peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. Yes.
How many years have passed, in your estimation?
Another questioner : I... but a long period.
The Shaykh : I mean? One year? Oh? Say? I mean, say the smallest number?
The questioner : I do not have the number to estimate it.
The Shaykh : All right; the important thing is, the signs do not bode well; because the matter requires taking the lawful and cosmic causes, and they have taken neither this nor that, and the written text is clear from its title, so many groups rose up in various Islamic lands and rebelled with such rebellions, then they returned with empty hands, or rather, not even with empty hands.
The Shaykh: Yes.
