Jihad - Is It Only For Defence? by tartar9(m): 7:33pm On Nov 07, 2014 |
Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim. The phenomenon of the idea that Jihad is only defensive is rapidly being spread amongst Muslim circles. It is without doubt a relatively new idea that seems to have appeared since the demise of the 'uthamani Khilafah and tends to come from the rhetoric of apologists and modernists who seem to have a problem with many key aspects of traditional Islamic 'Aqeedah and Islamic Law. The ironic thing is, those who are calling for a reform to how we should approach the Shariah are also declarers of following 'Traditional Islam'. However, what seems to be more apparent is that they find no qualms in adhering to interpretations of traditional Islamic law in non controversial and non - 'ideological' matters, but when matters of contemporary issues arise, such as Jihad, apostasy, the Islamic penal code, interfaith relations etc, new interpretations are called for. This is a serious problem we are facing and a short article will never be able to address this issue accordingly. Before a Muslim steps into the battlefield, he has already fought a great battle within himself against Satan- against his own desires and ambitions, his personal interests and inclinations, the interests of his own family and of his nation; against anything which is not from Islam; against every obstacle which comes into the way of worshipping Allah and the implementation of the Divine authority on earth, returning this authority to Allah and taking it away from the rebellious usurpers. Those who say that Islamic Jihad was merely for the defense of the 'home land of Islam' diminish the greatness of the Islamic way of life and consider it less important than their 'homeland'. This is not the Islamic point of view, and their view is a creation of modern age and is completely alien to Islamic consciousness. What is acceptable to Islamic consciousness is its belief, the way of life which this belief prescribes, and the society which lives according to this way of life. The soil of the homeland has, in itself, no value or weight. From the Islamic point of view, the only value which the soil can achieve is because on that soil Allah's authority is established and Allah's guidance is followed; and thus it becomes a fortress for the belief, a place for its way of life to be entitled the 'homeland of Islam', a centre for the movement for the total freedom of man. Of course, in that case the defense of the 'homeland of Islam' is the defense of the Islamic beliefs, the Islamic way of life, and the Islamic community. However, it's defense is not the ultimate objective of the Islamic movement of Jihad but it is a mean of establishing the Divine authority within it so that it becomes the headquarters for the movement of Islam, which is then to be carried throughout the earth to the whole of mankind, as the object of this religion is all humanity and its sphere of action is the whole earth. As we have described earlier, there are many practical obstacles in the establishing Allah's rule on earth, such as the power of state, the social system and traditions and, in general, the whole human environment. Islam uses force only to remove these obstacles so that there may not remain any wall between Islam and individual human beings, and so that it may address their hearts and minds after releasing them from these material obstacles, and then leave them free to choose to accept or reject it. We ought not to be deceived or embarrassed by the attacks of the Orientalists on the origin of Jihad, nor lose self-confidence under the pressure of present conditions and the weight of the great powers of the world to such an extent that we try to find reasons for Islamic Jihad outside the nature of this religion, and try to show that it was a defensive measure under temporary conditions. The need for Jihad remains, and will continue to remain, whether these conditions exist or not! |

@tartar9 This thread confirms that you are a fundermentalist and either currently a terrorist or a potential one. What makes you think a true God would need mortal humans to clear the way for his worship? Is he so weak that he can't do it himself What makes you feel you are following the right path apart from the fact that you have been brainwashed from your childhood days? 7 Likes 1 Share |

PastorKun: Tartar9 is being honest here. Unlike the majority of Muslims he stated facts about the command to spread Islam via force and jihad. Here are some narrations, hadiths and quran verses to understand his mindset. Tabari VIII:35/Ishaq:464 "The Jews were made to come down, and Allah's Messenger imprisoned them. Then the Prophet went out into the marketplace of Medina (it is still its marketplace today), and he had trenches dug in it. He sent for the Jewish men and had them beheaded in those trenches. They were brought out to him in batches. They numbered 800 to 900 boys and men." Tabari VIII:40 "The Messenger of God commanded that furrows should be dug in the ground for the Qurayza. Then he sat down. Ali and Zubayr began cutting off their heads in his presence." Quran 8:39. "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do." Qur'an (9:29)-"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." Sura 9:5. "When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them." Bukhari 2:24: Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah." 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ifeann: Religion of peace indeed, it is evidently clear what islam stands for, with all these(quotes), still a right thinking human being will lie to protect evil. What makes human thinks that he can fight for a God in all his supremacy, this should be total Haram in islam. Even without being religious, i have got a brain and it tells me that it is absurd to compel someone to accept your believe. I refuse to follow a God that i will be fighting for. God should rather fight for his children 3 Likes |

Re: Jihad - Is It Only For Defence? by tartar9(m): 1:44pm On Jan 05, 2015 |
PastorKun:the minimum amount is about one dinar thats only about 10,000 naira yearly while the maximum amount is what they agree they can pay and its not for women,children or poor people.even the muslims pay higher tax than the non-muslims.thou isis is not a recognised Islamic body but its better for the christains to pay than putting themselves through unnecessary trouble.you Christians are even instructed to give unto Caesar what belongs to him (see Mark 12:17), thus paying the Jizya is hardly an issue for a Bible-believing Christian If an Islamic government taxes a Christian.you should even be thanking Islam for such exemplary mercy and tolerance to non-muslims rather than grumble. |

tartar9: It is too bad you are yet to realize the problem with jizya from your law. You try equating jizya to tax and an alternative to zakat. No one with a sound understanding of jizya will accept that. Zakat is paid for feeding the poor and needy, tax is paid for running state services but jizya is paid simply to avoid death. Remember Shari'ah gives non-Muslims 3 choices; convert, pay jizya or face death. Those who do not convert pay jizya to be spared of death, not for any other reason as in tax and zakat where the objective of paying is not to avert death. 2 Likes 1 Share |
