I wonder ...

Assalaamu alaikum,

Today, there was one more bomb blast in Jerusalem. Too
much blood has been shed on both sides. The rift has
widened to the extent that the fire will only vanquish
itself when it will be deprived of all its fuel in the
form of blood.

Forget the Jews--

I wonder when would Muslim organizations and
individuals ever recognize that violence is not always
the desired solution.

I wonder if the Prophet (saw) would have let his
companions self-detonate themselves.

I wonder if he had done so to obtain a piece of land
and not to bring people to Islam.

I wonder if he also thought that imposing Allah's Will
on the affair of a state is the ultimate goal of
Islam.

I wonder if he thought that his goal was to establish
the Shariah on earth in all its entirety.

I wonder why he didn't accept the kingship of Makkah
and then tried to reform the society.

I wonder if his followers in Madinah also had gone to
such level of inactivity and stupor that the enemies
would have the chance to conquer their dwellings.

I wonder if having been trodded upon by the enemies,
would they have gone to war with their meager means or
would they have tried the supremacy of Islamic
ideology to counter-conquer their enemies.

I wonder if the Mongols were better than jews having
killed literally hundreds and thousands of Muslims,
destroying their cities, plundering their women and
decimating their centers of knowledge.

I wonder about what would have happened if the
scholars of Islam had chosen just to fight them
despite of their resourcelessness instead of doing
da'wah to them.

I wonder when will this Jihad spirit reorient itself
to all aspects of Jihad.

I wonder what Muslims think when they say Jihad is a
pillar of Islam.

I wonder if Qur'an tells us explicitly that we have to
bring all the world under Islamic rule.

I wonder if Qur'an tells us explicitly that khilafa is
our main goal.

I wonder that if Qur'an does not do that, does it talk
about al-birr, al-taqwa, al-khushoo', al-khudoo',
al-infaaq, al-ikhlaas, nearness to Allah, al-inzaar
ilal asheeratakal mukaribeen, ....

I wonder that if it does then where is it on the
agenda of Muslim oraganizations and individuals.

I wonder ....

PS: A few ramblings.

The bombing by the palestinian yesterday was wrong and
completely against Islaam. Suicide bombings are Haraam! When will the
palkestinians learn this? I know they are suffering, and i know they are being
badly treated, but this is not the way to hit back. You target thier
military, thier soldeirs, thier brutes, you do NOT EVER blow up little
kids. We know how much it hurts us when our kids die at thier hands, yet
we turn around and do the same! Is that right? Is that Islaamic? No.
These little israeli kids went to have a Pizza, and they got blown to
bits, by a muslim, in the name of islaam! This is disgraceful! By all
means target thier soldeirs, target thier leaders, and thier politicians,
but please leave the kids out of it. We are not Yahuds, we are muslims,
we are the good guys, we are not supposed to fall to thier levels to
retaliate, please people condemn such suicide bombings. They do nothing
for the muslims. I know we have suffered and its hard, but killing
little kids is not the way we will liberate palestine. For crying out loud,
we are muslims, why are we therefore behaving so UNislaamically? Would
the Great Prophet MUhammed (pbuh) have ordered the muslims to havce
done such bombings? No, so why do we therefore today, 1500 years later
behave and act against what Muhammed (pbuh) taught us?

People Palestine is a punishment for us muslims. We have left islaam,
we no longer pray, or give Zakaat, we no longer base our lives around
islaam, we have been taken in by this world and its greed, we have
abandoned our religion, and now Allah is punishing us for it. And it will
only improve if we change our way, if we return to islaam. Until then we
will continue to suffer.

May Allah Guide us All.

Abu Khaled how are you my dear Brother?

salaamz.

firstly...i agree that we need more da'wah...the founder of islamic relief was asked what should be done; helping the oppressed or doing da'wah..he replied that da'wah is the solution. we gotta get to the source of the trouble to stop it.

another thing..regarding suicide bombings...someone once told me that it depends on the intention....if u intend to blow urself up for the sake of allah, then so be it. but if its just to get away from the troubles of life then obviously it ain't allowed.
thats what i reckon anyway :)

plz ppl...pray for the brothers and sisters in Palestine...imagine urself there...u'd hate it...and pray for peace...i know we're talkin about muslims and jews here but in the end...there will be peace, insha Allah..if not in the near future then in the very distant future..

ma-assalaama
zakira :-)

Just a reminder we banned the topic of the authenticity of suicide bombings twice before, so let's keep out of that sensitive area that is meant for ulema inshaAllah.

I thought we did discuss this before?  Se7en?  Show me the LINK. :)

Sheikh Qaradawi did not refer to these types of actions as suicide bombings but rather as martyrdom operations.  I think Azzam publications also says something along these lines as well.

            Assalaamu alaikum,

            Today, there was one more bomb blast in Jerusalem. Too
            much blood has been shed on both sides. The rift has
            widened to the extent that the fire will only vanquish
            itself when it will be deprived of all its fuel in the
            form of blood.

            Forget the Jews--

            I wonder when would Muslim organizations and
            individuals ever recognize that violence is not always
            the desired solution.

>>> When non-muslims recognize the same thing

            I wonder if the Prophet (saw) would have let his
            companions self-detonate themselves.

>>> There are many examples of where the Sahaba (RAA) laid down their
lives, notably the Battle of Uhud.

            I wonder if he had done so to obtain a piece of land
            and not to bring people to Islam.



            I wonder if he also thought that imposing Allah's Will
            on the affair of a state is the ultimate goal of
            Islam.

            I wonder if he thought that his goal was to establish
            the Shariah on earth in all its entirety.


>>> The answer to all these three is in Surah Taubah :


                                     Fight those who believe not in
God nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which
                                     hath been forbidden by God and
His Apostle, 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.

And also in Surah Fath :


                                It is He Who has sent His Apostle with
Guidance and the
                                Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over
all religion: and
                                enough is God for a Witness.






            I wonder why he didn't accept the kingship of Makkah
            and then tried to reform the society.

            I wonder if his followers in Madinah also had gone to
            such level of inactivity and stupor that the enemies
            would have the chance to conquer their dwellings.

            I wonder if having been trodded upon by the enemies,
            would they have gone to war with their meager means or
            would they have tried the supremacy of Islamic
            ideology to counter-conquer their enemies.

            I wonder if the Mongols were better than jews having
            killed literally hundreds and thousands of Muslims,
            destroying their cities, plundering their women and
            decimating their centers of knowledge.

            I wonder about what would have happened if the
            scholars of Islam had chosen just to fight them
            despite of their resourcelessness instead of doing
            da'wah to them.

>>>> One of the reasons the Moguls were able to conquer the muslims was
that the Ulema of  those times were too busy discussing trivial issues
just at the Moguls wre attacking.  It was only when some brave Muslims
fought back that the Moguls were defeated.

            I wonder when will this Jihad spirit reorient itself
            to all aspects of Jihad.


>>>> The "fighting" spirit is totally gone from the muslims today, who
are too busy earning their dollars instead of helping their muslim
brethren.

            I wonder what Muslims think when they say Jihad is a
            pillar of Islam.

>>>> The Prophet (SAW) said something like this : "Anyone who dies
without doing Jiha, or at least considering it, "... can't remember the
rest, but it was comprehensive.

            I wonder if Qur'an tells us explicitly that we have to
            bring all the world under Islamic rule.

>>>> See my earlier quote in the ayah in Surah Tauba

            I wonder if Qur'an tells us explicitly that khilafa is
            our main goal.


>>>> Ditto

            I wonder that if Qur'an does not do that, does it talk
            about al-birr, al-taqwa, al-khushoo', al-khudoo',
            al-infaaq, al-ikhlaas, nearness to Allah, al-inzaar
            ilal asheeratakal mukaribeen, ....



            I wonder that if it does then where is it on the
            agenda of Muslim oraganizations and individuals.


>>> The sahaba (RAA) had reached the state of all these things before
they were permitted to fight.  Also, mostof these things are about the
relationship between Allah SWT and man, and not the relationship of man
to man.
