It seems the questioner intends by his question: Is it understood from your words that it is obligatory for Muslims to rush to help them in expelling the Jews?

The questioner : And Allah knows best, O Shaykh. It seems he means that all Muslims are sinful until they expel them from there. That is, do the Muslims now all have to go fight them, and if they do not fight them, does that mean they are all sinful?

The Shaykh : Good. This has some meaning. It means that sin has befallen them because they do not prepare to expel these disbelievers from the lands of the Muslims. And the meaning of this is that it is obligatory for them to take the initiative in adopting the means that enable them to perform this obligatory duty. If they do not do so, they are sinful. Our Lord, Mighty and Majestic, commands us to prepare to fight the disbelievers to the end of the verse. And with this preparation, it is possible to expel the Jews. As long as the Muslims are content with the presence of these disbelievers, they are sinful without a doubt. We cited the Jews as an example because it is the closest example that comes to mind for Muslims in this time. But we know collectively that there are Islamic lands that have been occupied by the Soviets and others for fifty years. What did the Muslims do in the way of performing this obligatory duty? They did nothing. Without a doubt, they are sinful. These lands remained in the hands of the disbelievers, and then the disbelievers expanded to make other Islamic lands lawful for them, such as Palestine, for example. And the matter did not stop there; the last thing that happened was that they occupied Afghanistan. So the point of this is to alert all Muslims that they are falling short and are sinful in that they allow the disbelievers to occupy their lands, one after another. This is clear, meaning in this statement!
