Ibaadah
- a Basic Obligation of the Human Beings
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa
liLlahil hamd!
Allah Azza wa Jalla says:
“O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and
those before you, that you may become righteous,”
(QS. Al Baqarah : 21 )
O Muslimeen rahimakumullah, Allah Jalla
wa ‘Alaa has created the universe and its
contents in all completeness and beauty so that
mankind can actualize their basic fitrah as
slaves of Allah who continue to serve Him throughout
life and the opportunity given to him by Allah.
In the same manner as the universe, good human life
can only be organized and become of high value if they
are subject to the teachings of Allah, Most Holy, Most
High. And this is the true essence of the nature of
ibaadah which is within every individual. So
it is of no use and impossible to be accepted by Allah
if someone from the outside appears to perform the
Islamic rituals, but in his practical life, he himself
cancels his own confession of his iman by
doing things that cancel it out. For example:
following other laws besides the Shari’a of
Islam.
Prophet SAW said:
"The knots/ties of Islam will be cut off one by
one. Everytime a knot is broken mankind begins to hold
on to the next rope. The first one to break is the
Law, and the last one is Solat." ( HR Ahmad,
Thabrani, Ibnu Hibban )
Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Abdulloh bin Baz
rahimahullah stated that the kalimah:
"The first one to break is the Law" has a
clear meaning. Namely, the absence of the application
of Allah’s Shari'a. And this has becomes a
reality in most countries that claim to be an Islamic
state and become members of the OIC. Whereas, as
generally understood, they are all obliged to
implement the Islamic law in all things, and are
forbidden to impose the various man-made laws and all
practices that contradict the Islamic Shari'a
based on the verse of Allah:
"But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real)
Faith, until they make thee judge in all disputes
between them, and find in their souls no resistance
against Thy decisions, but accept them with the
fullest conviction." (QS An-Nisaa : 65)
Also the verse of Allah: "And whoever does not
judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those
who are defiantly disobedient (kafir)." (QS Al-Ma'idah
47)
The ulama's rahimahumullah have
explained that the obligation of all the leaders is to
impose the Shari'a of Allah in all aspects of
the Muslim's life and in all disputed issues amongst
themselves, so that they are truly worthy and legal by
Shar’ie that they are leaders of the
believers, that the Muslims are obliged to obey them
as long as they don't commit transgression against
Allah Azza wa Jalla.
But the ulama's have also explained that the
leaders who decide upon a law which is not with the
Shari'a sent down by Allah and they
considered such actions to be halal, then
they becomes kafir with a big kufr
that causes them to be expelled from the Dien ul-Islam.
Especially if they have deliberately crossed out the
implementation of the Shari'a of Islam and
continued the legacy of the kafir colonial
law, which are consistently applied to their citizens
who are mostly Muslims.
The Presence Of Kafir’s
Hostility Towards Muslims
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa
liLlahil hamd!
Allah Azza wa Jalla says:
“Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn
you back from your faith if they can. And if any of
you Turn back from their faith and die in unbelief,
their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the
Hereafter; they will be companions of the Fire and
will abide therein.” (QS. Al-Baqarah : 217)
O Muslimeen rahimakumullah, when the children
of Prophet Adam AS were still a few in number but the
hostility between the descendants of Adam had already
emerged in the form of murder amongst themselves, this
also has the process of taqarrub (ibaadah
) towards Allah SWT by two parties (Habil and Qabil)
as the background. Qabil's hatred towards his brother,
Habil whose ibaadah was accepted by Allah,
encouraged Qabil to do a bad sunnah i.e.
killing that of his brother.
So do not be surprised and confused when the enemies
of Islam are launching all forms of enmities, either
silently or openly. In fact, when they are hostile
towards Islam and the Muslimeen, it was based on their
claim that they're doing something good for their
nation and country, in fact for justice and humanity.
If those enemies of Islam are having the upper hand in
terms of their numbers, wealth, power and armaments,
they will declare a CONFRONTATION
i.e. open attacks on the Muslims in many places they
could reach. As we see today, when George W. Bush
declared the Global War on Terrorism
post the 911 event with the strategy of pre-emptive
strike, hitting the enemy in the enemy's territory.
Followed by Obama who sent another 30,000 additional
American troops to Afghanistan.
But where they have a few abettors
(collaborators/compradors) in the countries of their
target, they would arrange a CONSPIRATION
i.e. evil conspiracy with the munafiq who are
in power but in reality are just lackeys, the product
of their recruitment. Where they are concealing their
heinous maneuvers in targeting and arresting, in fact
even murdering the da’ies and Mujahids under
the guise of saving the nation from terrorism. Even
though the truly more dangerous potential for terror
against the people and country are the corruptions,
pornography, narcotics, separatist groups and etc.,
but since the Islamic activists are worth more
dollars, then the shootings are only aimed at the
militant Muslims.
And we believe, the Qur’an is never wrong indeed in
predicting the hostility of the kuffar
against Islam and the Muslims. The wrong ones are
precisely those who claimed to be Muslims, in fact
they even frequently go for hajj but are
positioning themselves consciously to become stooges
of the kuffar in cornering Islam and the
Muslims. They are even supported with funds,
trainings, equipment and weapons to carry out the
agenda of America in a country which in the past was
liberated by the Mujahids with the cry of
“Allahu Akbar…!”
Didn’t one of the leaders of this country say: “I
love the United State, with all its faults. I consider
it my second country.”
The Universal Legal Obligations
Of Muslims in Defending Their Rights
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa
liLlahil hamd!
Allah Azza wa Jalla says:
“Did not Allah check one set of people by means of
another, there would surely have been pulled down
monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in
which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant
measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid his
(cause);- for verily Allah is full of Strength,
Exalted in Might, (able to enforce His Will).”
(QS Al-Hajj : 40)
O Muslimeen rahimakumullah , the Shari’a
of Islam does not allow the Muslims to remain silent
and surrender to evil, whether it be between fellow
Muslims, let alone the atrocities inflicted by the
enemies of Islam!
The Shari’a of Islam which was sent down by
Allah SWT through the examples and wisdoms of Prophet
Muhammad SAW 14 centuries ago, in order to make happen
the welfare of the Islamic ummah specifically
and mankind generally. Where in order to realize those
benefits, the Shari’a of Islam obliges us to
maintain the five things, which are; dharuriyah
(primary), then the things which are of necessity in
nature / additional hajiyah (secondary), only
then for the last are the things which are
tahsiniyah (supplementary) in nature / entirely
decorative. It is the process maintaining what we call
the Tathbiiqus Shari’a.
Therefore, based on the studies of the ulama’s
on the practices of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his
Sahabahs with regards to Tathbiiqus Shari’a
above, protecting the Dien is prioritized
than protective the lives, aqal, descendants
and properties. Although those five things are of one
package in matters which are of dharuriyah in
nature.
For that reason, it is haram – once again,
haram, for the Muslims to remain silent when
the honour (muru’ah) and dignity of the
highness of Islam are mocked!
O Muslimeen rahimakumullah, are we aware?
That the Dien ul-Islam in different parts of
the world inhabited by as much as 1.5 billions
Muslims, the progenies of Prophet Adam AS, out of
approximately 5 – 6 billions humanity, are being
trampled, and the blood as well as the honor of the
Muslims today are cheap.
If there are 1.5 millions Iraqi children who died as a
result of the embargo on medicines commandeered by
America through the umbrella of the UN. If there are
thousands or even millions of Afghan civilians who
died as a result of the barbaric attacks by the Soviet
Union and now continued by America. And may be
millions others in Palestine, Chechnya, Bosnia,
Somalia, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar( Roohingya ),
Xin Jiang (China) in fact even in countries which
become an Islamic symbol such as Egypt, Yemen and
others, all of those are not a humanitarian tragedy in
which the justice that it deserves must be
established, but all are assessed just as a mere
statistic!
Why? Because those who are massacred and as
appropriately died in cruel ways such as by being
killed with bombs of mass destruction, are the
Muslims!
Yes…! Since they are Muslims, then in the scales of
the world leaders today, they can be killed in heinous
ways!
Whereas if there are Mujahideen attacks against the
enemies of Islam, and there are civilians among the
victims, then the whole world would yell, curse and
accused it as an act of terrorism, classified as an
extraordinary crime. Why? Because the actors are
Muslims who are conducting jihad, while the victims
are western citizens who are decorous in the eyes of
the world!
The world is silent on Ariel Sharon, Simon Peres,
George W Bush, Tommy Blair and not to mention Obama
who is currently in power, whereas they have committed
war crimes against the Muslims, in the lands of the
Muslims! But all the countries in the world under the
umbrella of the UN are instead giving bad names and
accusations on the Mujahids of Islam in this century
using the label “Terrorists”, to the point that they
are allied in hunting, capturing, torturing and
murdering those Mujahids of Islam.
If those acts of the Mujahids of Islam, in defending
the honor, dignity and blood of the Muslims from the
atrocities of the kuffar invaders, are
classified as terrorism, while those kuffar
leaders are affixed with brotherhood, in fact even
considered as guests of honor of the State when to
come to visit, by the leaders of Muslim countries, so
we are asking: “What model of barbaric world
civilization are you defending and protecting with the
wealth and the people of the Muslim countries, O
leaders…?”
The Necessity of Sabr and Istiqomah in the
Resistance against Colonialism and Oppressions by the
Kuffar and their Partners in Crime
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa
liLlahil hamd!
Allah Azza wa Jalla says:
“How many of the prophets fought (in Allah's way),
and with them (fought) Large bands of godly men? But
they never lost heart if they met with disaster in
Allah's way, nor did they weaken (in will) nor give
in. And Allah Loves those who are firm and steadfast.”
( QS. Ali Imran : 146 )
O Muslimeen rahimakumullah, we are taught by
Allah and His Rasul to not regret and only cry for all
the grief's caused by the atrocities aimed at Islam
and the Muslims. We may become tongue-tied, the tears
may dry out, the palms of our hand are clenched in
rigidity… what else can we do? But the spirit of
resistance should never be extinguished, the souls of
revival are forbidden from being sunken. Because
there's still hope up there, there is always gallantly
enthroned in the heaven, The One The Most
Rahman, Allahul Malikul Jabbar.
His decree for this reality which to us feels bitter
is a rahmah given to believers so that the
fighting fields and arena of rewards are always
available so that He knows who amongst us are truly
believers and takes some of us as Shuhadaa’!
Allahu Akbar…!
Our obligation during this time of tribulation
(oppressions) is to strengthen our iman and
fortify our patience, which will produce an
istiqomah attitude that brings the help from
Allah Azza wa Jalla, insha Allah …ameen!
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa
liLlahil hamd!
Allah Azza wa Jalla says:
“And slacken not in following up the enemy: If ye
are suffering hardships, they are suffering similar
hardships; but ye have Hope from Allah, while they
have none. And Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.”
(QS. An-Nisaa’ : 104 )
O Muslimeen rahimakumullah, lastly, let all
of us understand that there is a price to pay, there
should be a noble thing to be sacrificed for the sake
of a more honorable life and for the sake of the
future eternal happiness in the akhira. We
cannot feel satisfied just by doing the rituals of
ibaadah and then dream of entering the paradise
of Allah Azza wa Jalla, but we are not
concerned with what happens to our religion and the
conditions of the Muslims around us.
Not a few from among our brothers, in fact our mentor
and leader - Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir and other
Ikhwans – who cannot perform the ibaadah
of Ramadhan in the same manner as how we perform it in
the free world out here. They are performing the
ibaadah of Ramadhan within the limitations
imposed by the tyrannical power, that the prison
becomes the mihrab (niche) of their
ibaadah. May Allah Azza wa Jalla bestow
sabr and istiqomah for us and them…ameen!
Of course, all those bitter realities are somewhat
hitting and injuring our feelings and the journey of
our struggle. But all those should become a big
hikma for the activities of our struggle forward.
HasbunAllah wa ni’mal wakiil ni’mal maula wa
ni’man nasiir, Allahu Akbar wa lillahil hamd!
Lastly, let us make do’a to Allah Azza wa Jalla:
اللهم لا
تجعل مصيبتنافي ديننا ولا تجعل الدنيا أكبر هــمنا
ولا مبلغ علمنا ولا تسلط علينا من لايرحمنا اللهم انصر المجاهدين في
كلمكان
واجمع كلمتهم وثبت أقدامهم وانصرهم علي عدوك وعدوهم
وانصرهم نصرامؤزرا اللهم أنج المجاهدين
المسجونين والغارّين بدينهم في كل مكان اللهم العنكفرة أهل الكتاب الذين يصدون عن سبيلك
ويكذبون رسلك و يقاتلون أولياءك . اللهم خالفبين كلمهم وأنزل بهم بأسك الذي لا ترده
عن القوم المجرمين ربنا آتنا في الدنياحسنة و في الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار ربنا تقبل منا إنك أنت
السميع العليم وتب علينا إنك أنت التواب الرحيم سبحان ربك رب العزة عما
يصفون و سلام علىالمرسلين . والحمد لله رب العالمين
