I’zzah is with Islam alone


Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala declared that he has given the I’zzah to the believers, He subhanahu wa ta’ala says in surah al-Munafiqeen,


وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ


"But honour belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not." [TMQ 63:8]


With the latest security resolution 1546/2004, Bush and Blair appear to think, they have got away with it. Having Iyad Alawi, the very newest Western puppet in place, the invaders hold all the power, take none of the blame and in theory, should now be in position to reap the benefits of 21st century western liberal colonialism. This global war launched by the two leading western liberal democracies against Islam and her Ummah has highlighted and indeed crystalised the difference between the two ideologies and their people.


There has been an undeniably brutal and shameful persecution of the Muslims globally by the West – despite their claims to superiority of values and claims of civilisation. Western state sponsored terrorism has a long reach. Bush and Blair’s call to war against Islam is finding willing partners all over the world. Muslims have been murdered, shot dead, blown up, obliterated by missiles, tortured to death in methods of such cruelty and barbarity Stalin never imagined, all without any recourse to justice, or to the rule of law. Detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan have been tortured and beaten to death. Phil Shiner a solicitor acting on the 20 cases of Iraqis killed or injured by British troops during occupation, wrote in the Guardian (UK, 10/06/04) on the case of the death of Baha Mousa, a 26 year old widower with 2 young children, “Evidence from other witnesses describe systematic abuse including a kickboxing ritual where soldiers compete to see how far they could throw a detainee with their kicks.”


These are detainees, not people actually convicted of a crime by a court of law.


The scale of the persecution of Muslims globally, whether in the West on in our own lands, is unprecedented – something not even Hitler ever mustered against his many enemies.


This Ummah has not got a single political entity, structure or state established on the ruling system of Islam i.e. the Khilafah. This Ummah has no single sincere ruler, no Amir ul Mu’mineen who has the bai’ah and is charged with the affairs of the Ummah, who speaks and shields the Believers. The body of this noble Ummah has been dismembered by the West in an effort to sow the seeds of nationalism so as to keep them forever divided and weak. To consolidate this false division, puppets were imposed upon them, to carry out the behest of the West. Consequently although the Muslim armies are great in number, there wasn’t and isn’t a single army whether from Muslim or non-Muslim lands that has come to the defence or aid of the Islamic Ummah.


Consider further, that we as an Ummah are facing the worlds only hyper-power, with a national budget for war, larger than the national war spending of the next 10 largest nations put together. This defence budget manufactures and ultimately deploys the most violent, cruel weapons 21st century western civilisation can create, in order to support the propagation of western liberal democracy. Already America the hyperpower has struck twice this century firstly against the most frail of entities, the Taliban Emirate of Afghanistan and then against Iraq, enfeebled by a 10-year war, an invasion and finally a crippling 12 year sanctions regime. The only authority America has, is not moral or judicial, rather it is the greatest violence a Western nation can assemble.


In the face of all the above, Muslims globally from Palestine and Iraq in the middle east, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Chechnya in the Caucasus, to Xinjiang in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Korea and Japan in the far east and even Muslims in Guantanamo and Belmarsh (the UK equivalent), rather than abandoning or compromising on the Deen, are steadfast in the Aqeedah and Islam. Despite the superior and barbaric weapons systems, the relatively poorly trained and equipped Mujahideen of Islam run into the battlefields to hold onto the honour of Islam and defend our Ummah and our lands against the neo crusaders.


Even as the ubiquitous mass media of the west are furiously spinning their propaganda, the Islamic Ummah has turned their backs on their puppet rulers, and rejects the tyranny and terrorism of Bush and Blair, even though they have a clear capability for mass murder and destruction. The more they kill and destroy, the more they are hated by the Muslims. Kuffur and taghut remain kuffur and taghut no matter how big or how many the fir’aun.


The war against Islam has caused a clear polarisation, between the Believers, the Islamic Ummah on one side and their treacherous puppet rulers and the West on their other.


The Karzais and Alawis of the world, along with the Mubaraks, Fahds, Asads, Abdullahs, Allah SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA warns you,


إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمْ اللَّهُ عَنْ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَى إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَنْ تَوَلَّوْهُمْ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الظَّالِمُونَ


“Allah has forbid your friendship with those who fight you because of your deen, and drive you from your homelands, or aid others to do so; and as for those who turn to them in friendship they are oppressors” [TMQ 60:9]


Those praised by Bush, Blair and the enemies of Islam, are warned by Allah SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA,


الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِنْدَهُمْ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا


“As for those who take the Kafir as allies in preference to the believers- do they hope to be honoured by them when, behold, all honour belongs to Allah alone” [TMQ 4:139]


The Islamic Ummah had I’zzah due to Islam alone


Call to mind the situation of the early Muslims and Islamic State. When Islam first appeared as a system of life in Madinah in the first year Hijri. The Muslims were a minority in the Hijaz, let alone the world. They were a City State, whilst Rome and Persia were both regional if not global empires. They were with a military and weapons capability less than even that of the Qur’aish in Mekkah, and the Jews in Khaibar – both of whom were plotting to destroy them.


And yet, such was the nature and structure of the Islamic State and the leadership of Rasulullah SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM, the Islamic Ummah were ready to face the world. When they were at their weakest, at the eve of the Battle of Badr, when Rasulullah SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM was deciding whether to attack the caravan led by Abu Sufian which was within reach, or to divert to attack the Qur’aish army which out equipped and outnumbered them 3:1, Rasullah SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM said “Give me advice O men!” to which Sa’d ibn Mu’adh of the Ansar who was holding their banner said, “It seems you mean us, O Messenger of Allah.” He (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) said, “Yes.” Sa’d said, “We believe in you, we declare your truth, and we witness that what you have brought us is the truth, and we have given you our word and agreement to hear and obey; so go where you wish, we are with you; and by he who sent you, if you were to ask us to cross this sea and you plunged into it, we would plunge into it with you; not a man would stay behind. We do not dislike the idea of meeting our enemy tomorrow. We are experienced in war, trustworthy in combat. It may well be that Allah will let us show you something which will bring you joy, so take us along with Allah’s blessing.” Rasulullah SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM was delighted with Sa’d’s reply and said, “Forward in good heart, for Allah had promised me one of the two parties, and by Allah, it is as though I now see the enemy lying prostrate.”


The light of Islam exploded over the world, liberating man, from the subjugation of man lifting him to the worship of the Creator. During the lifetime of Rasulullah SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM, Islam spread throughout the Hijaz, expanding by some estimates at an average of 800 square kilometres per day! The jihads of this time, took 150 of the kuffar and 120 Muslims were shaheed. During the lifetimes of the Khulafa ar Rashideen, Islam destroyed the empire of Persia and reduced the once mighty empire of Rome, pushing it back to Constantinople.


This occurred, not through the superiority of weapons, numbers, wealth, technology nor the extremes of violence, nor anything else, other than the Deen of Islam and it’s implementation. Umar ibn al Khattab was reported to have said, "We are people who get honoured by Islam, if we seek the honour through any other thing, then Allah will humiliate us."


Indeed, unlike kufr and taghut, Islam spread by the strength of the Deen of Islam. Democracy it seems, can only be propagated by extremes of violence justified by lies and shifting-sands reasoning.


Although this noble Ummah has shown great sab’r (fortitude) in the face of such oppression, the I’zzah of Islam will only fully return when once more the Islamic Ummah stands on the Aqeedah of Islam alone and we are again united by the rule of the Amir ul Mu’mineen and the system of life as was delivered to us by Rasulullah SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM.


Allah SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA warns us in Surah Mujaadila,


إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحَادُّونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أُوْلَئِكَ فِي الأَذَلِّينَكَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَأَغْلِبَنَّ أَنَا وَرُسُلِي إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ


لاَ تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ أُوْلَئِكَ كَتَبَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ الإِيمَانَ وَأَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ أُوْلَئِكَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ أَلاَ إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمْ الْمُفْلِحُونَ


Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, they will be among the lowest (most humiliated).


Allah has decreed: "Verily! It is I and My Messengers who shall be the victorious. Verily, Allah is All-Powerful, All-Mighty. You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Rûh from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens (Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allah is pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Verily, it is the Party of Allah that will be the successful. [TMQ 58:20-22]
