Br. Abu Dujanah, do you not live in the UK? Do you consider it a land of Kufr? From your previous posts as well you call a rally cry for jihad as though you are raising an army, yet you are still on this board. I do not think that you are a hypocrite rather the opposite. You have a burning love for the deen racing through your blood. Because you call for things that you personally do not do, I am inclined to think that you are relatively young and quite inexperienced in life. Possibly still reliant upon your parents for support. There is nothing wrong with this of course. The only way to get life experience is to live more of it. Insha'Allah that will come.
Also Insha'Allah will come with the ability of making dawah in a manner that opens people up instead of putting them on the defensive. I believe you finally made your complete point in the post when you stated:
"Narrated 'Aisha
Allah's Apostle said, "An army will invade the Ka'ba and when the invaders reach Al-Baida', all the ground will sink and swallow the whole army." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! How will they sink into the ground while amongst them will be their markets (the people who workedin business and not invaders) and the people not belonging to them?" The Prophet replied, "all of those people will sink but they will be resurrected and judged according to their intentions."
So if a punishment was sent to the Kuffar and there were Muslims among them, they will be judged according to their INTENTIONS and ACTIONS. This is what i understand from what the scholars said concering this issue."
If this hadith would have been included in the opening post, I doubt that some of the arguing would have risen. May Allah reward you for the knowledge that you bring to the board. May this book knowledge one day merge with the experience of life into a muslim who Insha'Allah will know how to bring Islam to every kind of person and have them listen with an open heart, embracing the pure message of Tawheed. Ameen.
UmmHabibah, why so defensive about stating what country you are in? It is not that big of a deal. If it is a country where there are few muslims, it does not prove anything as as is stated by the hadith that Abu Dujanah quoted. Personally, I enjoy knowing where my brothers and sisters on the board live. If there is any kind of fitnah or disaster that occurs there, then I like to make du'a that everyone is doing okay. It is only a reflection of my love for the ummah that I desire to empathize with those who say, "La ilaha illa Allah."
May Allah Forgive me. I have sinned! May Allah have Mercy on me. I need it to live! May Allah Guide me. I am lost without Him! May we all see the bonds that unite instead of the pettiness that fractures. May Allah Use us to Build a strong ummah through our complete submission to His Will.
I love you all.
