To Our Sheikh Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi,
may Allah strengthen him:
I read news from the
Islamic Emirate of the Caucasus that emirs Aslambek,
Muhannad and Hussein said they had withdrawn the oath
of allegiance to Abu Usman, may Allah preserve him.
What do you know about this situation and what is the
Sharia decision on those who broke the oath of
allegiance without Sharia reasons, except for one:
that Abu Usman cancelled his resignation from the
Emirate, as they said. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Praise be to Allah, and peace and
blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.
And then:
The Jihad of the Emirate is
verily a great deed, it has a great value and what is
related to it has an important benefit, the ranks
will unite there, and the Jihad will strengthen there,
and Mujahideen will gather around the Emirate, and the
conflict will be solved, and the discord will be
prevented, for the sake of these great benefits, etc.
Many famous hadiths, ordering and indicating the unity
of the congregation and obedience to the Emir and
warnings to those who withdrew from obedience, and
divide the word (consensus) of Muslims, have been
cited. And these hadiths are known, and there are
practically no people who would not know them, because
there is a large number of these hadiths.
Among them is a hadith from Osama
bin Shurayk, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
"The Messenger of Allah (pbuh)
said: Allah's hand is over the Jamaat, or group".
(Narrated by Ahmad and others.)
And from Umar ibn al Khattab, who
said:
"The Messenger of Allah (pbuh)
said: only those who seek the pleasure of Paradise
will follow the community, for the devil can pursue
one person, but he stands far away from two".
(Narrated by Imam Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi
and others)
And from Abu Hurairah, may Allah
be pleased with him:
"The Messenger of Allah (pbuh)
said: he who separated himself from the Jamaat and
died, he died in the state of ignorance".
(Narrated by Muslim).
And Nu'man ibn Bashir said:
"The Messenger of Allah (pbuh)
said: the Jamaat is mercy, and the separation is
punishment".
(Narrated by Ahmad).
And Zayd ibn Thabit said:
"The Messenger of Allah (pbuh)
said: "Three qualities will not allow anger to get
into the heart of a Muslim: sincerity in committing
deeds before Allah, nasiha, or advice, to the ruler,
and staying with the jamaat, and then their call will
be even behind them".
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, ibn
Majah, an-Nasa'i and Abu Dawud).
Narrated by Anas bin Malik, may
Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah
(pbuh) said:
"Obey (your ruler) even
if they put above you an Ethiopian slave whose head
looks like a raisin".
Narrated Abu Hurairah, may Allah
be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)
said:
"Whoever obeys me, obeys
Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah.
Whoever obeys the ruler, obeys me, and whoever
disobeys the ruler, disobeys me".
Narrated by Ibn Umar that the
Prophet (pbuh) said:
"It is obligatory for a Muslim
to listen (to the ruler) and obey whether he likes it
or not, except for when he is ordered to do a sinful
thing; in such case, there is no obligation to listen
or to obey".
Ubada bin al-Samit, may Allah be
pleased with him, said:
"(At his time) the Prophet (pbuh)
summoned us to him, and we gave him the oath of
allegiance, and among other things he demanded from us
to swear to him that we shall obey (him) when we are
active and do not manifest negligence, when it is
hard and when it is easy for us, as well as in such
cases when we are deprived of what to which we are
entitled by the right.
(And we swore that) we shall not try to deprive of
authority a legitimate ruler, unless we see (that he
fell into an) overt disbelief, for which we shall
have evidences from Allah".
And therefore it is obligatory
that Mujahideen obey emirs, or rulers, and do not
argue with them, they must help them and show patience
to them and advise (direct) them secretly.
Ubaidullah bin Adi bin Al-Khiyar
said:
"I came to Usama bin Zaid and
said to him: don't you advise Usman that he makes hadd
(punishment) to al-Walid? Usama said: Do you think
that I advise him only before you?
I swear by Allah that I advised him between ourselves,
I do not open the door to evil, and I am not the first
who opens it".
(Bukhari, Muslim).
- Beware of a man who is a door
of evil for the Mujahideen, through which fitna,
wickedness, conflict and discord, disunity and
dissociation penetrate to them, all that he will bear
on him on Day of Resurrection, and they will follow a
bad sunna (example) through the deeds of that person,
and he will answer on Judgment Day for what he did -
and for those who followed him, but man should be a
key to goodness that forbids evil and protects the
borders, entrusted to him, and to his oath,
which pledged his hand and his heart.
And what we know about Emir Abu
Usman Doku Umarov, it's only good. And so far, all
Sharia judges in the Emirate praise his return to
scholars and his requests for their advice and
opinion. The Caucasus Emirate was proclaimed, and all
the manifestations of ignorance were abolished. And
our brothers in the Caucasus chose him, and they were
united by him, and the path of Jihad continued under
his leadership.
And as reliably conveyed to us by
our brothers who know the situation in the Caucasus,
there were no violations by Emir Abu Usman, which
allow a dispute about him and his overthrow.
Therefore, anyone who strongly
wants that the path of the Jihad is clean and useful
must listen to Emir and help him, so that the row is
solid and continuous, to recognize his position and to
forbid to oppose to him, or to demand his replacements
without Sharia reasons that are confirmed by the
people of advice.
A demand by a single or a few
Mujahideen to replace the Emir and to dispute with him
from time to time without Sharia reasons is a loss of
honor for the Emirate. And this leads to a division
amongst the ranks of the Mujahideen, and to disputes
between them, and the spread of misfortunes and a
weakening in their ranks.
And so, the brothers must not
disseminate such news that splits the ranks, that make
monotheists grieve and polytheists rejoice. And it
should be appealed to emirs who have influence, to
scientists and skilled people, as Allah said:
"And when a news comes to them
about [public] security or fear, they spread it
around. But if they had referred it back to the
Messenger or to those of authority among them, then
the ones who [can] draw correct conclusions from it
would have known about it. And if it were not for the
favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have
followed Satan, except for a few".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 4. "The
Women", verse 83)
Therefore, our brothers in the
Caucasus do not need such quarrels, but they really
need financial, moral and Sharia support.
They are surrounded from all
sides. Money and Mujahideen from abroad do not reach
to them, and their enemy has much experience in deceit
in many aspects. As for the aspect of the money, there
were Arab and non-Arab taghuts who helped each other
to reduce this support to our brothers, and it was
actually the case, so every rich, God-fearing
Muslim has a responsibility to make a financial Jihad
that Allah makes beneficial for them before death
reaches them and they say:
"My Lord, if only You would
delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and
be among the righteous".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 63. "The
Hypocrites", verse 10)
- As for the aspect of knowledge
and scholars, they retreated, abandoning our brothers
in the Caucasus to their fate, and it is unlikely that
they (the brothers in the Caucasus) may hear a word
from an Alim, or scholar, except for those for whom
Allah had mercy and urged him to support and help
them, pledging to support them with money, (property)
and men (Mujahideen).
The history of the apostate
Kadyrov, whose post is designated by Russia, is as
black as the history of his father in support of
Russia, from the times of Dzhokhar Dudayev and those
who came before them.
Earlier, this ugly Kadyrov
distributed Sufi a madhhab, or religious
jurisprudence, but after he found out that a jamia
madhhab is more beneficial to him in order to retain
his throne, to increase and fill his belly, he began
to distribute this jamia madhhab more and more,
approaching to this jamia madhhab closer and closer,
as Sufism has not brought him benefits, as before,
because nobody listened to and followed that Sufism,
except for the elderly in remote villages.
But, the jamia madhhab present
themselves as if they were scholars, and they found
themselves in the Al-Jazeera (Arabian Peninsula) those
who provide them with means and books.
Thus, the Caucasus Emirate is in
need of knowledge, and in enrollment of worthy minds,
and, therefore, the Mujahideen have repeatedly invited
people with knowledge who seek for knowledge, (study),
in order to help them by telling them: "Fear Allah!
Don't you see in what position we are? ... " And as we
know, no one responded then when the request had been
received, except for Sheikh Sayeed of Buryatia, may
Allah accept his martyrdom.
And so, we rely on our brothers
from "Ahlul-Sugur" (Mujahedeen in other places), who
are already have a foundation - a solid foundation, a
good experience, so they send someone to our brothers
in the Caucasus who will help them and support them
from amongst those who have already an experience, and
the like.
And if they had sent a small
group of brothers, it would do no harm to the fronts
that sent them, and it would be better if there were
no difference in the superiority in one front over the
others, but there would be a proportionality between
them, and may Allah help them.
And on this occasion, I would
like to give advice to the brothers who were mentioned
in the question, and I would like to remind them
that they should fear Allah and keep Jamaat, trying to
come to a single opinion (agreeing on one word)
by uniting in one single row. And I swear by Allah
that divisions and conflicts will not lead to anything
else but to the fall of the spirit and the deprivation
of power, what enemies will be only too happy
to see ...
Almighty Allah said:
"And obey Allah and His
Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage
and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient.
Indeed, Allah is with the patient".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 8. "The
Spoils Of War", verse 46)
- And again I urge my brothers
Mujahideen and all Muslims in general for a serious
work in supporting the Emirate of Caucasus, and I urge
all those whose voices are heard and who have weight,
and those who have authority amongst the Mujahideen,
that they participate in the preservation of this
noble Caucasus Emirate from all those who are trying
to weaken the congregation or to split its rows.
And to respond quickly by
supporting the Emirate and everything its needs -
whether with men or means, and so on ...
- And may Allah let the Caucasus
Emirate become a bastion against rafidits, and a
barrier against the spread of Shiism in the former
Soviet Union, and let the Emirate become a door to
Eastern Europe - with the permission of Allah. And the
Caucasus Emirate is one of the schools of Tawhid and
Jihad, and the punishment of Allah and His wrath will
fall upon us, if we leave without assistance (the
Caucasus Emirate), and cast it off, and show
negligence in supporting and helping it ...
And I ask Allah that He
unites the word of Mujahideen in a single one, and
rallies their ranks, and preserves their Emir, and
exalts their Emirate, and raises their flag and helps
the Mujahedeen, and suppresses their enemy.
And may Allah do everything what
they do against the Mujahideen - with their own
destruction, and with the return of their machinations
into their throats.
May peace and blessings be upon
our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all his
companions.
