The sixth, unexpressed Islamic precept, Jihad.

According to the Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, the jihad kinds are:

1- Jihad al-NAFS, (i.e. against ones self), which is Striving to learn the
teachings of Islam and to induce oneself to act in accordance with them,
Striving to call others to Islam, and to bear the difficulties involved in
calling people to Allah and the insults of people; all that for the sake of
Allah.
2- jihad al-SHAYTAN (i.e. against the Devil), which is Warding off the
doubts about faith, and ward off the corrupt desires that he provokes.
3- Jihad against the hypocrites, disbelievers, and leaders of oppression
and innovation. Jihad against the hypocrites and disbelievers is done in
four ways: with the heart, with the tongue, using ones wealth and life.
(Zaad al-Maaad).
Fasting is imposed by a Koranic verse.
(Sura II, v. 183) O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you...
The Jihad fighting is imposed with the same wordings, and the Koran tells
that the jihad is the best fighting the Muslims.
(Sura II, v. 216) Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it..
Muslims divide precepts in 2 categories
* Personal precept (FARD AYN), which is an individual obligation, and it
is not permissible to discard.
* Collective precept (FARD KIFAYAH), which is obligatory upon the
community as a whole. If enough people undertake it, the rest are relieved
of the obligation.
The ruling on physical jihad against the hypocrites and disbelievers is a
collective duty. It becomes individual obligation in some circumstances.
For example:
1) If a person is present where fighting is going on.
(Sura VIII, v. 15-16) O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in
hostile array, never turn your backs to them. If any do turn his back to
them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a
troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode
is Hell, an evil refuge (indeed)!.
Hence, it is not permissible for him to run away, even if in great danger.
2) If Muslims attacked by an enemy.
Islam was imposed by the sword only, after moving Muhammad from
Mecca to Yathrib.
(Sura III, v. 83) all creatures in the heavens and on earth have, willing or
unwilling, bowed to His Will (Accepted Islam).
(IKREMA) Unwillingly, refers to who are forced to Islam.
(Abu Huraira) Allah's Prophet said: I have been sent with the shortest
expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious
with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the
keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.
(Bukhari, vol. 4, n. 220).
(Abu Huraira) When Allah's Prophet died and Abu BAKR was elected
as a Caliph after him, some of the Arabs reverted to disbelief, `Omar said
to Abu BAKR: How dare you fight the people while the Prophet said I
have been ordered to fight the people till they say
None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,
And whoever says that, waves his wealth and his life from me unless he
deserves a legal punishment lusty, and his account will be with Allah! Abu
BAKR said: By Allah, I will fight him who discriminates between ZAKAT
and prayers, for ZAKAT is the Compulsory right to be taken from the
wealth By Allah, if they refuse to give me even a tying rope which they
use to give to Allah's Apostle, I would fight them for withholding it. `Omar
said: By Allah, I saw that Allah had opened the chest of Abu BAKR to the
fight, and I came to know for certain that was the truth. (Bukhari, vol. 9, n.
388).
The violence of the Islamic Jihad is illustrated in the sequence of orders in
the fighting and killing verses in the Koran during the period of life of
Muhammad in Medina.
a) First, it was just a permission statement at the beginning of the
migration of Muhammad to Yathrib.
(Sura XXII, v. 39) "
b) Second: Turning permission to order.
(Sura II, v. 216) Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it..
It is well known that this Sura was composed from various sections
collected in different times.
c) Third, Changing to a strict command in one of the late Koran's Suras,
including an exception of the people of the book.
(Sura V, v. 35-41, (47) O ye who believe! Do your duty to Allah, seek the
means of approach unto Him, As to those who reject Faith, their penalty
will be one that endures. O Messenger, let not those grieve thee, who race
each other into unbelief: (whether it be) among those who say "We
believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no faith;... Let the people of
the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to
judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than)
those who rebel..
d) Fourth, and finally, War against the people of the book.
(Sura IX, v. 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..
Any Christian must be killed unless he pays an obligatory tribute fight
because he does not convert to Islam.
This Sura was revealed after the conquest of Mecca. It was also
composed from foregoing sporadic pieces grouped together.
The so-called "Jihad" began originally to get all the spoils of
Mohammedans wars. A man called Abbas ibn MERDAS blamed the
Prophet of Islam though verses of poetry, saying:
You give other 2 persons the spoils belonging to me & to my horse,
I was a rapacious, predator of open deserts attacking on foal
I was a wealthy man in my tribe, given nothing anything not withheld.
(The Major Classes, vol. 4, p. 206).
(Abu QATADA) The Prophet has said: Who kills a man, have the right to
obtain his spoils. (The Major Classes, vol. 3, p. 384).
(ASIM) The Messenger of Allah sent us in attacking expedition, he said:
Kill any person you find, unless you see a mosque, or hear the muezzin.
(The Major Classes, vol. 2, p. 113).
The main purpose of the so-called jihad was to capture the bounties of
others.
(Aisha) When Khaybar was conquered, we said, "Now we will eat our fill
of dates! (Bukhari, vol. 5, n. 547).
(Ibn Omar) We did not eat our fill except after we had conquered Khaybar.
(Bukhari, vol. 5, n. 548).
Jihad against infidels and hypocrites.
(Sura II, v. 190-195) Fight in the cause of Allah those who ght you, ...
And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they
have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter;
if they ght you, slay them. And ght them on until there is no more
Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah. ... there
is the law of equality. If then any one transgresses the prohibition against
you, Transgress ye likewise against him. And spend of your substance
in the cause of Allah, and make not your own hands contribute to (your)
destruction.
(Sura IV, v. 89-91) But take not friends from their ranks until they ee in
the way of Allah. But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them
wherever ye nd them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from
their ranks; except those who join a group between whom and you there is
a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them
from ghting you as well as ghting their own people. ... if they withdraw
not from you nor give you (guarantees) of peace besides restraining their
hands, seize them and slay them wherever ye get them.
There are two types of Jihad against the non-Muslims.
1- Offensive Jihad, when the Muslims launch an offensive attack. The
purpose of which is to ensure the unbelievers remain terrorized and away
from mischief, thereby, allowing the message of Islam to be conveyed
without any obstructions.
2- Defensive Jihad is when the enemy attacks, forcing the Muslims in to a
defensive position. This is one of the most important Personal obligations
upon the Muslims.
(Sura II, v. 193) ght them on until there is no more Tumult or
oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah.
That means, Islam must prevail without any undisputed.
(Abdullah) The Prophet said: I have been sent with the sword between my
hands to ensure that no one but Allah is worshipped, Allah who put my
livelihood under the shadow of my spear and who inflicts humiliation and
scorn on those who disobey my orders.
Also:
The Prophet Muhammad said: I have been commanded to fight the people
until they testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and
that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establish the prayer and pay
the ZAKAT.
Although jihad is imposed upon the Muslims, they do not say so explicitly,
according to the principle of dissimulation.
The verse of the sword.
(Sura IX, v. 5) Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye nd them, an seize
them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem..
This was called the verse of the Sword.
(Dahhak) This verse was called the verse of the Sword. It abrogated every
agreement of peace between the Prophet and any idolater, every treaty, and
every term.
(Ibn Abbas) No idolater had any more treaty or promise of safety ever
since Sura IX was revealed.

(Imam Ibn SALAMA) The fifth verse of Sura IX, i.e. Kill the infidels
etc., abrogated (i.e. voided) from the Koran one hundred and twenty-four
verses, dealing with avoidance of idolaters, patience on the annoyance, and
pardon and forgiveness to them. (Book of the Abrogating and Abrogated).
Here are some of the texts existing in the Koran that is canceled
completely from usage.
* (Sura II, v. 83) treat with kindness.
* (Sura II, v. 109) forgive and overlook,.
* (The II, v. 256) Let there be no compulsion in religion..
* (Sura IV, v. 80) He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah. But if any
turn away, We have not sent thee to watch over their (evil deeds)..
* (Sura VI, v. 66) But thy people reject this, though it is the truth. Say:
"Not mine is the responsibility for arranging your affairs;.
* (Sura VII, v. 199) Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; But turn
away from the ignorant..
* (Sura XI, v. 12) But thou art there only to warn!.
* (Sura XV, v. 85) So overlook (any human faults) with gracious
forgiveness..
* (Sura L, v. 39) Bear, then, with patience, all that they say,.
* (Sura XXIII, v. 96) Repel evil with that which is best,.
* (Sura XXVII, v. 92) ...and if any stray, say: "I am only a Warner..
* (Sura XXIX 46) And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, except
with best means better,.
* (Sura LXVII, v. 26) Say: I am (sent) only to warn plainly in public..
* (Sura XXXII, v. 30) So turn away from them, and wait:.
* (Sura XXXV, v. 23) Thou (O Prophet) art no other than a warner..
* (Sura LXXXVIII, v. 22) Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs..
* (Sura CIX, v. 1-6) Say : O ye that reject Faith! To you be your Way, and
to me mine..
* (Sura III, v. 20) if they dispute with thee, say: I have submitted my
whole self to Allah.
* (Sura XXII, v. 69) say: (Allah) will judge between you on the Day of
Judgment concerning the matters in which ye differ..
With regard to the Koran text
(Sura VIII, v. 61) if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also)
incline towards peace, and trust in Allah..
It means appeasement, has also abrogated verse of the sword.
(Sura IX, v. 5) Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye nd them, an seize
them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem..
No time is specified, without care if others are peaceful or aggressive.
It is a pure criminality.
* (Sura II, v. 190) Fight in the cause of Allah those who ght you, but do
not transgress limits;...
Is abrogated by
(Sura II, v. 194-195) Transgress ye likewise And spend of your
substance in the cause of Allah..
And by
(Sura IX, v. 36) ght the Pagans all together .
(Sura IX, v. 111) Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and
their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they ght in
His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth,
through .. the Qur'an. Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have
concluded..
(Sura LXI, v. 10-12) O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that
will save you from a grievous Penalty? That ye believe in Allah and His
Messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with
your property and your persons: That will be best for you, if ye but knew!
He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which
Rivers ow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is
indeed the Supreme Achievement..
(Anas ibn Malik) The Prophet said: A walk in the path of Allah, the jihad,
going or returning, is better than the world and what it contains. (Termidhi,
n. 1657).
Incitement to fight in "the way of Allah" (i.e. Jihad).
In the Koran, Allah incites Muslims to fight through the Prophet of the
doom Muhammad.
(Sura VIII, v. 65) O Messenger. rouse the Believers to the ght..
(Sura VIII, v. 15-16) O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in
hostile array, never turn your backs to them. If any do turn his back to
them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a
troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode
is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)!.
Or directly to the Muhammad followers.
(Sura II, v. 278-279) O ye who believe! Take notice of war from Allah
and His Messenger. But if ye turn back, ye shall have your capital sums..
(Sura IX, v. 14) Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands,
cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of
Believers,.
Also, the Mohammedan traditions include incitements to fight and to kill.
(Abu Huraira) The Messenger of Allah said: Allah has undertaken to
look after the affairs of one who goes out to fight in His way believing in
Him and affirming the truth of His Apostles. He is committed to His care
that Re will either admit him to Paradise or bring him back to his home
from where he set out with a reward or (his share of) booty. (Sahih
Muslim, Bk 20, n. 4626).
The Messenger of Allah said: The horses have goodness in their
foreheads (or he said) or goodness is ingrained in the foreheads of the
horses up till the Day of Judgements.
(Abu Huraira) A man came to Allah's Messenger and said: Instruct me
as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward). He replied, "I do not find
such a deed.(Bukhari, vol. 4, n. 44).
(Ibn 'Omar) Allah's Messenger said: You will fight against the Jews and
you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there
is a Jew (hiding himself behind me); kill him. (Sahih Muslim, Bk 41, n.
6981).
(Abu Huraira) Allah's Messenger said: The last hour would not come
unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill
them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a
stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew
behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is
the tree of the Jews. Bk 41, Number 6985)
Violence of the Jihad.
(Sura VIII, v. 12-16) Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the
message): I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye
above their necks and smite all their nger-tips off them. This because they
contended against Allah and His Messenger. Taste ye then of the
(punishment): for those who resist Allah, is the penalty of the Fire. O ye
who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn
your backs to them..
(Sura XLVII, v. 4)
From Mohammedan traditions.
(Abdullah ibn Amro ibn al-AAS) The "Messenger of Allah" said to the
people of Mecca: You hear O people, I swear, I come to slaughter you.
(Musnad Ahmad).
Benefits of Jihad
* Allah promised the admission in the Islamic Paradise for those who
participate in jihad.
(Abu-NUJAIH) I participated with the Messenger of Allah in blockade
of a stronghold in TAIF, and I heard him saying: Who hurl an arrow in the
sake of Allah, independently if strikes or not, gains a degree in the
[Islamic] Paradise. (Sunan al-Bayhaqi).
* Rewards: Either spoils or [Islamic] Paradise in case of death.
(Sura IV, v. 74) Let those ght in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of
this world for the hereafter. To him who ghteth in the cause of Allah,-
whether he is slain or gets victory - Soon shall We give him a reward of
great (value)..
(Abu Huraira) The Prophet said: Allah has undertaken to provide for one
who leaves his home (only) to fight for His cause and to affirm the truth of
His word; Allah will either admit him to Paradise or will bring him back
home from where he had come out, with his reward and booty. (Mulim, Bk
20, Number 4628).
Even animal writes his advantages in Jihad!
(Abu Huraira) The Prophet said: Every footstep of The Muslim fighters
horse is rewarded even while it wanders about tied in a long rope.
(Bukhari, Book of Jihad, vol. 4, n. 44).
* Special privileges for martyr, those who die in jihad.
(Sura III, v. 169-172) Think not of those who are slain in Allahs way as
dead. Nay, they live, nding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord;
They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah. And with regard to those left
behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory
in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve. They
glory in the Grace and the bounty from Allah, and in the fact that Allah
suffereth not the reward of the Faithful to be lost (in the least). Of those
who answered the call of Allah and the Messenger, even after being
wounded, those who do right and refrain from wrong have a great
reward;.
(Miqdam) Allahs Messenger said: There are with Allah six blessings for
the martyr. (1) He is forgiven with the first drop of his blood. (2) He is
shown his abode in paradise. (3) He is preserved from the torment of the
grave and is safe from the great fear on the Day of Resurrection. (4) A
crown of honour ingrained with pearl is placed on his head, which is better
than the world and what it contains. (5) He is married to seventy-two
maidens (huris) of paradise. (6) His intercession for his seventy relatives is
accepted.(Tirmidhi). [Ahmed 12013, Ibn e Majah 2799]

Punishment of relinquishing the Jihad.

According to the Koran, discarding the Jihad in the cause of Allah is
punished with torment, lack of consideration from the side of believers,
and the miserable end in the Hellfire of Allah of Muslims.
(Sura IX, v. 38-39) O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that,
when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the
earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the
comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He
will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place;.
(Sura VIII, v. 15-16) O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in
hostile array, never turn your backs to them. If any do turn his back to
them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a
troop (of his own) - he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode
is Hell, an evil refuge (indeed)!.
This is confirmed by Mohammedan traditions.
(Ibn Omar) The Prophet said: If you deal with loan payment, and hang
onto the tails of cows being satisfied with cultivation, and ceasing to take
part in Jihad, Allah will inflict a humiliation upon you which will not be
removed until you return to your religion. (Ahmad) - (Abu Dawoud).
That is why people are currently active in the practice of violent jihad at
this time.
Martial arts in Islam.
* In the case of weakness, then by dissimulation precautionary principle,
Muslims can claim that Islam is a religion of peace. This is a big lie.
One should keep in mind that the verse of sword has abrogated (i.e.
cancelled) every agreement of peace between the Prophet and any idolater,
every treaty, and every term. Ibn Abbas said: No unbeliever had any more
treaty or promise of safety ever since Sura IX was revealed.
The compulsive verse of the sword abrogated one hundred and twenty-
four verses of the Koran, dealing with forgiveness, peace.
The end justifies the means.
In the case of weakness, Muslims should wait a moment of strength to
pounce on others.
According to Muhammads Sunnah, and in compliance with the order
Koran the Muslims in order to strive to be their strength.
(Sura VIII, 60) Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of
your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the
enemies, of Allah and your enemies (O Muhammad)..
It is agreed between Muslim that they should try to achieve power to
overcome other people.
* In the case of power, no mercy nor pity.
(Sura IV, v. 104) And slacken not in following up the enemy: If ye are
suffering hardships, they are suffering similar hardships;.
That means they should have the initiative of the attack.
(Sura XLVII, v. 35) "
It means if they are more powerful, they must insist on fighting.
(Sura VIII, v. 12-13)Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the
message): I am with you: give rmness to the Believers: I will instil terror
into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all
their nger-tips off them. This because they contended against Allah and
His Messenger..
It means do neither pity nor mercy.
* War is stratagem, said the prophet!
The tricks include treachery and assassination.
The Execution of Ka'b ibn Ashraf was a treacherously betrayed him. The
reason is trivial, namely composing a poem.
(Ibn ISHAQ) Ka'b ibn Ashraf's was a poet. Originally was one of Jews
who were reconciled with the prophet. When he received news of the
deaths of those at BADR He commented: By God, if Muhammad has
really struck down those people, then better he should be inside the earth
than upon it! When he was sure of this news, which angered him, he left
for Mecca. He composed verses mourning the deaths of Meccan people
killed at BADR. He also wrote satires ridiculing the Prophet. Somebody
asked him: I abjure you in the Name of Allah, is our religion better in the
sight of God or that of Muhammad? He replied: You are better guided than
him. So Allah of Mohamed revealed:
(Sura IV, v. 51) Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were given
a portion of the Book? they believe in sorcery and Evil, and say to the
Unbelievers that they are better guided in the (right) way than the
believers!.
Ka'b then returned to Medina where he composed verses that were
suggestive about the Muslim women and critical of the Prophet and his
followers.
(JABIR) The Prophet said: Who is ready to kill Kab ibn Ashraf the Jew?
A man said: Do you like me to kill him? The Prophet replied in the
affirmative. Then the man said: Then allow me to tell lies. The Prophet
replied: I do (i.e. allow you). (Bukhari vol. 4 book 52).
The man who volunteered for the assassination used dishonesty to gain
Ka'b's trust, pretending that they had turned against Muhammad. This
drew the victim out of his fortress, whereupon he was brutally slaughtered.
(Bukhari).
The next morning the Jews came to the Prophet. They protested about the
dastardly murder of their chief Ka'b without guilt. The Prophet said: So
each would happen not keep quiet itself, but the Muslims insulting and
mocking, or satirizing myself. So the prophet offered them renewal of the
peace treaty. He then joined them with a written contract in this sense, on
the contents they were obliged to agree. Since the time the Jews were
fearful and intimidated.
Lessons
1. It is allowable to assassinate one of the enemies by deception because of
his treachery or untrustworthiness.
2. It is Permissible to tell lies to the enemies and playing tricks on them,
for war is a deception.
3. It is a lesson to others to discourage them from treacherous actions
against Islam.
* Possibilities of premeditate raids and assaults surprising infidels.
The verse of the sword
(Sura IX, v. 5) Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye nd them, an seize
them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem..
* Permissibility to kill women and boys in the wars.
(Sa'b b. Jaththama) the Prophet of Allah, when asked about the women and
children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are
from them. (Sahih Muslim, Jihad, Bk 19, n. 4321).
Muslims induced their reason:
The "Messenger of Allah" said: The provisions of their parents, as
inheritance, marriage, punishments, blood money and so on, are applied
equally on them. (Explanation of NAWAWI on Sahih Muslim).
* The use of non-Muslims
(Abu Huraira) We assisted (the raid against) Khaybar. Allah's Prophet
said about a man of those who were with him: This (man) will be the
Hellfire. When the battle started, that fellow fought so violently and
bravely that he received plenty of wounds. Some of the people were about
to doubt (the Prophet's statement), but the man, feeling the pain of his
wounds, put his hand into his quiver and took out of it, then he slaughtered
himself (i.e. committed suicide). Then some men amongst the Muslims
came hurriedly and said: Oh Allah's Messenger! Allah has made your
statement true, he has committed suicide. The Prophet said to a Person:
Get up and make an announcement that none but a believer will enter
Paradise and that Allah may support the religion with an unchaste (evil)
wicked man. (Bukhari, Maghazi, vol. 5, n. 515).
On the other hand, the Prophet took help for his war from an unbeliever
before his conversion to Islam.
It happened that the prophet Muhammad planned the Hunain raid and he
was in need to weapons and hauberks. Safwan was a prominent weapon
merchant in Mecca, the prophet asked the weapon of Safwan for a loan.
Safwan accepted, and he went with Muslims to Hunain. When Muslims
got victory and gained unheard spoils. The prophet gave each of those
whose hearts had to inclined to Islam (Al-Mu'allafati Qulubuhum) one
hundred camels and one hundred sheep. The prophet Muhammad called on
Safwan and gave him 100 camels.
However; the matter was not concluded.
(WAQIDI) It is said that Safwan went with the Prophet to inspect the
spoils. The Prophet Muhammad noticed Safwan looking at a piece of land
where some cattle and sheep were kept. Safwan was dazzled at the scene.
The Prophet asked him leniently: Do you like this piece of land? Safwan
said: Yes, indeed. The Prophet said: It is yours, with all that is in it.
Safwan said: No one can give so generously except a Prophet. I declare
that there is no deity other than Allah, and that you are Allahs
Messenger.

These Islamic Martial Arts show vileness, aim to terrorize peaceful.
Is jihad is over?
Of course not.
Jihad is eternal!
(ALY, the alleged nephew of Muhammad) The prophet said: Jihad will
continue with each Muslim leader up to the Day of Resurrection (Majma).
(Salamah ibn NUFAYL) The Messenger of Allah said: There will always
be a group among my nation (Ummah) who will fight for the truth against
some people, whom Allah will cause to deviate. Allah will grant [my
nation] provision [booties] from these people. This shall continue, until the
Last Hour begins when the promise of Allah comes. Goodness is tied to
the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection. (Sunan NISSAI,
Book of horses, n. 3591 - Sahih).
This shows that he will remain as long as the Eternity.
(Anas ibn Malik) The Prophet said: Jihad will be performed continuously
since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day in which the last
member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). The
tyranny of any tyrant and the justice of any just (ruler) will not invalidate
it. One must have faith in Divine decree. (Sunan Abu Dawoud, Jihad, book
14, n. 2526).
And the disruption of jihad is not permitted.
Non-participating in Jihad makes a Muslim disbeliever in Islam.
(Abu Huraira) The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever dies without
having fought or having resolved to fight has died following a branch of
hypocrisy. (Sahih Muslim, 1910).
N.B. This is a kernel of more detailed paper on Jihad, which include also
historical and actual examples. The original paper, deals also with the
principles of WALA'A wa BARA'A, i.e. devotion and reclusiveness. In
other words:
- Total submission only to Allah and his prophet Mohammad
- Total refusal to non-believers.
The main purpose of these principals is to keep the members of the muslim
community from being integrated into other non-muslim communities.
