Thawaabit ala darb al Jihad (Constants on the Path of Jihad)
Fighting has been prescribed upon you and you dislike it, but it is possible that you
dislike a thing that is good for you and you love a thing that is bad for you. Allah
knows and you know not. (al Baqarah 216)
Chapter I
First Constant: Jihad will continue until the Day of
Judgment.
The entire world is standing against one ritual of Islam and that is Jihad. Many
nations, especially the powerful ones, are mobilizing on various fronts (i.e.,
religious, political, social, economical, media, popular mass etc.) to fight against
Jihad fe Sabeelillah. In terms of religious strength, we see that the USA and Israel
are working for the State of Israel for a religious purpose: the descent of the
Messiah. In terms of political strength, diplomacy around the world is concerned
with fighting Islamic terrorism. Every single government in the world, both
Muslim and non-Muslim, is united at the political level to fight against Islam
(specifically, Jihad). On the media front, they are doing an excellent job of
deceiving the masses on what Islam really is. They are giving Islam a face in this
Country which is a very deceptive one.
Tarbiyyah before Jihad as a valid excuse?
Allah says, Fighting has been prescribed upon you and you dislike it, but it is
possible that you dislike a thing that is good for you and you love a thing that
is bad for you. Allah knows and you know not.16 This ayah is a command to
the Muslims to fight. On a side note, many Muslims and Islamic Jamaat say that
before we do Jihad, there must be tarbiyyah. The way they present this idea is that
they say the following: Tarbiyyah is a prerequisite of Jihad; therefore without
tarbiyyah you cannot do Jihad. In other words, they say tarbiyyah is mandatory
before Jihad. Others say, We are in the Meccan stage, therefore there should not
be any fighting. Is this justified? Is there a justification for delaying Jihad fe
Sabeelillah?
Lets change the question to make it easy to understand. If a person became a
Muslim during Ramadan would you tell him that he has to do tarbiyyah before
fasting? Would you tell him that we are in the Meccan phase so you dont have
to fast? You have approximately 15 years before fasting starts since thats when
the command came, so before that, you can eat during Ramadan and not fast at
all. But when those 15 years are over, youll have enough tarbiyyah to start
fasting. Nobody says that; its a joke. So then, why do we say that about Jihad fe
Sabeelillah? Whats the difference when the instruction for Jihad is in the same
form as the instruction for Siyaam?
Kutiba alaykumus Siyaam
Fasting has been prescribed upon you17
Kutiba alaykumul Qitaal
16 (al Baqarah 216)
17 (al Baqarah 183)
Fighting has been prescribed upon you18
They are both in Surah al Baqarah. Fasting has been prescribed upon you and
fighting has been prescribed upon you; so how come we are treating them
differently? In fact, fasting was prescribed after Jihad Fe Sabeelillah. The order for
fasting came 15 years after Prophethood and the order for Jihad came 13 years
after Prophethood. How come there was a two year difference? Therefore,
logically speaking, we should tell people that before fasting they should do
tarbiyyah. How come we prescribe tarbiyyah before Jihad when the Prophet
(sallallahu alayhe wassallam) didnt do it? When a person became Muslim, did
he tell that person to study under Shuyookh and then he can do Jihad? Did he say
you have to learn Arabic or go overseas to study Islam before doing Jihad?
Narrated Abu Hurayrah: Amr ibn Uqaysh had given usurious loans in pre-
Islamic period; so he disliked embracing Islam until he took them. He came on
the day of Uhud and asked: Where are my cousins? They (the people) replied:
At Uhud. He asked: Where is so-and-so? They said: At Uhud. He asked:
Where is so-and-so? They said: At Uhud. He then put on his coat of mail and
rode his horse; he then proceeded towards them. When the Muslims saw him,
they said: Keep away, Amir. He said: I have become a believer. He fought
until he was wounded. He was then taken to his family wounded. Sa'd ibn
Mu'adh came to his sister: Ask him (whether he fought) out of partisanship, out
of anger for them, or out of anger for Allah. He said: Out of anger of Allah and
His Apostle. He then died and entered Paradise. He did not offer any prayer for
Allah.19
When he became Muslim, did the Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wassallam) tell him
to study Quran or Hadith? Uqaysh didnt do anything but fight in the path of
Allah and died shaheed; he achieved the highest status a Muslim could ever get.
Who would need more tarbiyyah than a Jew? People say Muslims need a lot of
tarbiyyah before Jihad; well a Jew would need more tarbiyyah. Bukhayreek
converted in the battle of Uhud and died shaheed...
