7 - In the Cause of Allah, and They Are the Mujahideen in the Cause of Allah

The Shaykh : In the Cause of Allah are the raiders who raid in the Cause of Allah, to whom are given what they need to sustain the raid, or for whom weapons are purchased to fight the enemy with. But what does "in the Cause of Allah" mean? Brother, stand up. Shall we try someone else? The fighter in the Cause of Allah is the one who fought so that the word of Allah would be the supreme word. This is the standard that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us, for he was asked about a man who fights with bravery, fights out of tribal loyalty, and fights out of showing off so that his status is seen. Which of these is in the Cause of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a complete standard that does not waver or descend. . So if the fighter is asked, "Why did you fight?" and he says, "Because I am an Arab and I am fighting a Jew," is this in the Cause of Allah? Answer, everyone. No, it is not. He said, "I fight so that the word of Allah is the supreme word, because the Jews want the opposite of that." This is in the Cause of Allah. Good. The second and third fighter says, "I fight to defend my country so that the rule of Allah and His Messenger is established there." Is this in the Cause of Allah or not? It is in the Cause of Allah, because this person fights to liberate the country from the rule of other than Allah and His Messenger, to protect the country from those who want to rule in it by other than Allah and His Messenger.
