Dr.Fathi Osman Truth about "Jihad and Suicide" Part 2

[kabezwan]

Let us stand up and show people that their ways are evil and show them the right way that is good for all. It is not enough for an unbelievers to see the ways of Allah from our own lives because they can easily ignore our lives and focus on their own lives. That is why we need to actively speak and share this peaceful message of submission and selflessness.

[kabezwan]

Let us not be selfish and hide in our homes or in the mosque, let us go out and share the glorious ways of our creator. Yes it is good to keep our homes in order and to reverence Allah with our brothers in the mosque, but we cannot ju8st be content with being the only believers. Muhammad was called by God as the last prophet because the others had failed to share with people of every tongue and nation the ways of Allah, this message is for the whole world.

[kabezwan]

Let us show them the same mercy that Allah has shone upon us such that today we know His ways and we are blessed by the words of Allah that we hear everyday from our His books. My brothers, we need to renew our efforts to help nonbelievers to know the amazing words of Allah. We are not to just hate the ways of the unbeliever, but we are to persistently show them the right way, Allah's way.

[kabezwan]

If a muslim sees his fellow believer continuing in sin, we must speak to him persistently to help him turn from his evil ways that will only lead him to the hellfire. Allah has mercy, He has given us strong faith so that we can strengthen the faith of those who are wasting their lives. We must do the same for unbelievers in other countries especially African, Asian and Western countries who have very few believers in Allah and who are stewing in sin.

[kabezwan]

Muslims are content to stay in their homes, to take care of themselves. Even if a believer is shaky in his reverence of Allah, persistent in his sin, we must still help them. This will demostrate for them Allah true mercy that He can bring to them through us. This will encourage and strengthen their faith. I find it very difficult to understand why we are so content to let unbeliever continue in their sin.

[kabezwan]

Allah has brought the sin of the western world to see if we will stand in His name and speak loudly against it. But I still hear only whispering. No one wants to speak or take definite action against Israel for its injustices against the Palestinians who believe in and worship Allah. I know that there have been injustices on both the side of the Palestinians and the Israelites. But no one is helping the people in Gaza.

[kabezwan]

Countries such as Britain did bring some good to muslim people but they also brought bad in colonizing of muslim territories, exploiting muslims to make money, practicing their cultures which tolerate sinfulness in muslim territories. But there has been no decisive response from the muslim people. It does not have to be violence, anything to stand and speak loudly against such injustices, but all I hear is silence.

[kabezwan]

Therefore, it is not right for muslims to turn their backs on the attack of the unbeliever on innocent muslims even those muslims who are persistent in their sin. I do not know if this makes it legitimate for muslims to drive out the unbeliever, but it calls for a definite response which most have found it easier to ignore, to only criticize it in their communities but not take some action against it. This is not the only time that westerners have enacted injustice on the believers.

[kabezwan]

So despite the injustice of groups such as Al Qaeda and Taliban, they have no right to enact justice because of the injustices of Al Qaeda and Taliban. Only Allah has the right to establish and enact justice. There they are in essence a nonbeliever attacking believers who despite their sin still reverence Allah. American wars also kill innocent muslims in their homes when they are at war with such terrorist groups as Al Qaeda.

[kabezwan]

America has created some of the conditions for jihad. When a believer defends himself against the attack of the unbeliever, it is Allah who slays the unbeliever. Therefore, an unbeliever has no right to enact justice because they do not do it under the protection and direction of Allah.
