Quote:So the solution is jihad, but how can we do it... (Assalam)Why is it that we always grab hold of the "blood soaking" dagger from the people who are happy to stab us with the same dagger.?
Why is it we refer to those who have no feelings for us?
Why is it we go to those who do not know or appreciate the value of muslim blood?
Petitions are to end up in the bin just like the futile actions we endulge in as they carry no value.
The only people who can help the muslims are the muslims themselves and until we do not realise that the misery will continue!
Al-Ma'idah 5:51
O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as 'Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers etc.), they are but 'Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as 'Auliya' then surely he is one of them.
Al-Mumtahinah 60:1-9
Should they gain the upper hand over you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you with evil, and they desire that you should disbelieve.
As for the UN, we must have very short memories!! It was under the watchful eye of the UN that the muslims of Bosnia (Sarejavo) were killed, butchered and systematically raped.
It was the UN "peacekeepers" who would go drinking with the Serbs after their attrocities to celebrate the killing of muslims.
002.011 When it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "Why, we only Want to make peace!"
002.012 Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realise (it) not.
As for the solution and how we can do it, we should refer back to history and look how the muslims in the past achieved their goals.
When the crusaders arrived in As-Sham i.e. Palestine etc. how were the invading army expelled? It was the muslim army that expelled them due to the perception of the reality and correct actions taken by Sallahudin and Nuradin. They united the muslim armies and led them to the occupiers.
They did not do actions on the same level as petitions, nor seek advice/support from the crusaders.
Why cannot we march/protest to the army barracks in the muslim lands and put pressure on them to go and do their jobs instead of wiping the dust off their weapons? This I feel is the correct action which is based upon the Sunnah i.e. the practical principle (action based upon the thought (aqeedah) for a particular objective which achieves a tangible result)
For those who despise the idea of Islam and the thoughts which emanate from it such as Jihad, we do not expect anything less.
Jihad is not hatred, it is to stop the oppression and bring justice. If anyone hates to see oppression stopped then they are from the oppressors.
May Allah [sWT] help us undertake the correct actions and help us to seek his pleasure.
