Reply To One Who Wants To Go To Jihad But Is Unsure About ISIS
06 September 2016By Abdullah al-Muhaysini
Reply of Sheikh Al Muhaisiny to the one who wanted to go for
Jihad in the path of Allah but has not taken a stance towards Baghdadis group
May peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you. May Allah grant you long
life. I ask Allah to accept from you this pure blessed intention, and make us
and you firm in His religion, and grant us and you martyrdom in His path
facing the enemy without turning back. My noble brother, you have mentioned to
me a matter, that you desire to go in the path of Allah and for Jihad in the
path of Allah, but you have not been able to decide your stance regarding the
groups that are in Shaam. So I say that my opinion, by which I submit myself
to Allah, glory be to Him Most High, is that if you want to go to the land of
Shaam and you have not decided your stance with regards to Baghdadis group,
then I say to you, do not go to the land of Shaam. Yes, do not go to the land
of Shaam. And (instead) go to any other land of Jihad in the path of Allah.
Today the Rafidha are fighting against the Ahlu Sunnah in all places. You may
very well join your brothers in Yemen. Fight alongside them against the
Rafidhi, the Houthis and be a protective fortress for them in the fight in the
path of Allah, or in any other land of Jihad for the sake of Allah where the
enemies of Allah are repelled, so that the flag of Tawheed may rise high.
As for you coming to the land of Shaam while you have not been able to decide
your stance towards those who have killed the Muslims and declared them to be
unbelievers, and spilled their blood, then I say to you, my noble brother,
memorise them (what I am saying to you) and understand them and keep them
before you eyes. By Allah, that you meet Allah glory be to Him Most High, with
the sin of sitting back without doing Jihad in the path of Allah – which is a
great sin, and one of the major sins, is easier, than you meet Allah with the
Mujahideen in the path of Allah holding on to you by your necks, those whose
blood you have unjustly spilled. It is easier that you meet Allah glory be to
Him Most High while the Mujahideen are clinging to your necks, those whose
blood you have spilled without any right. Yes, sitting behind without doing
Jihad is a sin and a disobedience, but spilling the blood of the Muslims and
making Takfeer on them wrongly, is a greater sin.
I also want to comment, that is, you would say that I will go (to Shaam) but I
will not declare other groups to be unbelievers (I will not make Takfeer on
other factions). I say, this has been said before you by many, and they
intended exactly what you intended, they desired that they do not make Takfeer
on the Muslims and that they do not kill them, and then slowly and slowly,
they gradually began to make Takfeer on the Muslims. And enough for you is the
saying of the Prophet (saw), ''A man is on the religion of his close friend, so
let each one of you look at who you have befriended''. And if you wanted to
come to land of Shaam, then first of all make your stance firm, and if you
have an inclination to those who have made Takfeer on the Muslims and killed
and massacred them, then you should go to other lands of Jihad. However if you
have firmly taken your stance, then you are welcome to Jihad for the sake of
Allah, as the land of Shaam is a blessed land, it is a land where Fitna
(trials) will be put to an end. And the one who has said that the Jihad in
Shaam is a Fitna, then he does not know the reality of the situation, and the
reality of the Jihad in the land of Shaam. The Prophet (saw) says, ''When
trials occur, then Iman will be in Shaam''. What kind of Fitna is it in which
the Nusayris and the Rafidha are fought against, and we defend the honour of
the Muslims and their blood?
As for which groups to choose, then you may choose any group that fights in
the path of Allah. Choose the one which is closest to your heart and the most
beloved one to you, and I consider all of them to be fighting to raise the
word of Tawheed and they are in a great good. And so choose the one closest to
you, in which you are able to see good companionship to fight in the path of
Allah, and join them. And I ask Allah to accept from us and you. This is in
short the reply to your statement that you have mentioned. And Allah knows
best. And may Allah reward you with good on our behalf, and I ask Allah to
bestow on us and you the grace for our feet to become dusty in the path of
Allah, and that we meet enemies of Allah so that we kill them and they kill
us. May prayers and peace be upon our Prophet, and may Allah reward you well
on our behalf.
