Continuation of the Book of Jihad: Allah the Exalted said: ((Fight the disbelievers all together, just as they fight you all together, and know that Allah is with those who fear Him)) and He said:

The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
He said, may Allah have mercy on him: "The Book of Jihad. Allah the Exalted said:

And fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively. And know that Allah is with the righteous [who fear Him].

وقاتلوا المشركين كافة كما يقاتلونكم كافة واعلموا أن الله مع المتقين

[At-Tawbah 9:36]

And He said:

Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.

كتب عليكم القتال وهو كره لكم وعسى أن تكرهوا شيئًا وهو خير لكم وعسى أن تحبوا شيئًا وهو شر لكم والله يعلم وأنتم لا تعلمون

[Al-Baqarah 2:216]

And He said:

Go forth, whether light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah

انفروا خفافًا وثقالًا وجاهدوا بأموالكم وأنفسكم في سبيل الله

[At-Tawbah 9:41]

And He said:

Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment.

إن الله اشترى من المؤمنين أنفسهم وأموالهم بأن لهم الجنة يقاتلون في سبيل الله فيقتلون ويقتلون وعدًا عليه حقا في التوراة والإنجيل والقرآن ومن أوفى بعهده من الله فاستبشروا ببيعكم الذي بايعتم به وذلك هو الفوز العظيم

[At-Tawbah 9:111]

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The discussion has previously covered the fact that jihad is of three types, and we spoke about what Allah the Exalted facilitated regarding that. Then the author cited the verses revealed on this matter, saying: Allah the Exalted said: "Kaffah" means: general, all of them. Every disbeliever must be fought and striven against until they say, "There is no god but Allah," establish the prayer, give zakah, fast Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the House, or pay the jizyah from the hand while in a state of humiliation. If they pay the jizyah from the hand while in a state of humiliation, we refrain from fighting them, based on the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: It is obligatory upon the Muslims to fight the disbelievers, every disbeliever, from whatever country he may be, whether Russian, American, English, French, Filipino, or otherwise. They must fight every disbeliever unless he submits, until he submits or pays the jizyah from the hand. But if someone asks: How is that to be in this age today? We say: Obligations have conditions, among which is the ability to perform them, based on the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: And He said: It is known that the Muslims today, with great regret, are fighting one another, and they have no thought for the Muslims fighting to raise the word of Allah. This is our opinion of them, and reality bears witness to it, because the Muslims do not want this at all, especially their rulers. What indicates this is what is being done today to our Muslim brothers in Bosnia and Herzegovina: the slaughtering of men as if they were sheep, the violation of honor, the extortion of wealth, and the humiliation of Islam. And this is the greatest [evil]. I do not care if a thousand Muslims are killed as much as I care about it being said that the Muslims have been humiliated for their Islam. The fighting today in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chechnya, Tajikistan, and elsewhere is all to humiliate the Muslims. And the Muslim ummah, with great regret, is now divided and scattered; no one among them has risen to avenge the religion of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. How can they fight the disbelievers themselves? In the present time, it is not possible because of the humiliation that Allah has placed upon the hearts of the rulers in the Muslim lands, and their lack of turning to jihad in the cause of Allah. Rather, some of them may extend the hand of humiliation to their enemy who was fighting them yesterday, and today they extend to him the hand of humiliation and surrender. How can we hope for the Muslims to fight the disbelievers when Allah says, "Fight them" and says: But with great regret, all of this is gone. To Allah we belong and to Him we return. The human heart constricts with blood and the liver is wounded when one sees what is done to the Muslims who testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and who are in the greatest longing to know the Islamic religion and act upon it, as we hear from our brothers who come from Tajik and other countries that were colonized by the communists. They tell us of their great joy when they find someone to teach them the Islamic religion, and they turn to it, men and women. And yet we leave them to be slaughtered. A few months ago, two hundred thousand Muslims were killed and their bodies were thrown into the river—two hundred thousand, a whole village or more than a whole village, indeed a city. And the Muslims, we ask Allah for guidance for us and for them, did not raise their heads over it, or if I may say, did not see in it any harm, except what Allah wills. For this reason, we are now, with great regret, in a state of humiliation after which there is no humiliation. The cause of that is that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has afflicted many of the Muslims with complete turning away from their religion; they do not want anything but the display of this world and the luxury that... For this reason, you find them talking about luxury, and this is such and such, and they do not care... except what Allah wills. As for the speech of the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, you hear it: "Just as they fight you" contains an incitement, meaning that by nature, by the claim of his Islam, the one who fights him will fight him. "Those who fight you, just as they fight you all together" means: avenge yourselves, at least, regardless of whether this is a religion or Islam. But with great regret, the matter is the opposite. Rather, we are now, with great regret, citizens among us who encourage the enemies of Islam to fight the Muslims. Look at the espionage that has filled the earth in our lands; most of them are disbelievers, perhaps eighty percent are disbelievers and the rest are Muslims, despite the presence of Muslims in the poor Muslim countries that are invaded by the Christians from every direction. You find the citizen whose only concern is to go to his work, and Satan tells him that the disbeliever is a better worker than the Muslim. The Muslim says, "I want to go pray, I want to fast Ramadan, I want to perform Hajj, I want to perform 'Umrah," and the disbeliever is always working, and Satan beautifies his evil deed for him. He leaves his Muslim brothers and brings in these disbelievers for the sake of the debris of this world. Where is our progress from? And where is our fighting in the cause of Allah when the matter is like this? And the person reads these verses and says, "Glory be to Allah, were these revealed to others? Or were they revealed to us? Are these for us and not for others?" It is as if they do not move the emotions, as if they are not the speech of the Lord of the Worlds. And the Muslims do not care about this; they read them every day, and yet they do not stir. And He said: "Kataba" (He has written/ordained). Who wrote it? Allah. And "kataba" means: made obligatory. All of it is obligatory upon us. You dislike it, but it is good. If you disliked it, it is good. What is the good? Be patient. This is the great good. And as will come, God willing, in the third verse, that Allah purchased from the believers their wealth, etc. Then you, O Muslim, if you fight and are wounded or become a martyr, do you think your enemy is safe? Meaning: in their pursuit. Meaning: the wound in you, and your enemy is like you; he is pained as you are pained. But They have nothing but the Fire. As for you, you hope from Allah the stations of the martyrs. And when Abu Sufyan stood up before he submitted on the Day of Uhud, he said: "A day for a day, and the war is even" Meaning: he boasts, saying, "You defeated us at Badr, and now we have defeated you." What did the Muslims say? They said: "Not equal. Our dead are in Paradise and your dead are in the Fire" A great difference. So fighting is disliked by us and disliked by the enemy, but there is a difference between when one of us or one of them is killed, or when one of us or one of them is wounded. So we ask Allah the Exalted to establish the knowledge of jihad, the jihad of the selves and the jihad of the enemies, and to guide the rulers of the Muslims to establish the religion of Allah openly and secretly, and to protect them from evils, and to protect them from the bad inner circle that harms them and does not benefit them. Indeed, He is Able to do all things.
