Cowardice is a Disgrace, Whilst Within Confronting the Enemy Lies Honor

News:

Pakistan’s Express Tribune reported on 1 May 2024 that, “Pakistan, China and Iran will soon hold trilateral meeting on counter terrorism and security in another sign of growing role of Beijing, bringing together the neighbours on crucial issues. The first meeting of Pakistan-China-Iran Trilateral Consultation on counter terrorism and security was held in Beijing in June last year.” [Tribune]

Comment:

What did Iran and Pakistan meet with China for in June 2023? What are they intending to meet China for again? To co-operate in countering terrorism! To co-operate with the terrorist China, which wages war on Muslims in Xinjiang and their Deen! To co-operate with an enemy state, whilst giving the Hindu State a free hand over Occupied Kashmir, and the Jewish entity a free hand over Palestine! This meeting could not have been more vile and repugnant, as it comes at a time when our sisters and children are being butchered by the real terrorists of our time.

Yet, the governments of two large Muslim states are to meet again regarding terrorism, when the Jewish entity has waged over two hundred days of terrorism on the Blessed Land of Masjid Al-Aqsa. Over 34,000 have been martyred by the Jewish occupation, using Western imported ammunition and weapon systems. The loss of life is besides the destruction of almost all infrastructure and residences. An announcement by the governments of the two most powerful Muslim armies, at such a heart-wrenching time for the Ummah, that is less than declaring the mobilization of the armies to end Zionist terrorism, is a betrayal of the sanctities of Islam.

The command of the brave soldiers of Islam, and the weapon systems in their use is nothing but a grace of Allah, Al-Aziz Al-Mutakabbir. Before the battle of Mu’tah, news reached the 3000 Muslim troops that Heraclius had mobilized a hundred thousand troops together, with another hundred thousand men of Lakham, Judham and Balqain, Arabian tribes allied to the Byzantines. 'Abdullah bin Rawaha addressed the Muslims saying, وما نقاتل الناس بعدد ولا قوة ولا كثرة، ما نقاتلهم إلا بهذا الدين الذي أكرمنا الله به، فانطلقوا، فإنما هي إحدي الحسنيين، إما ظهور وإما شهادة“In our fight we don't count on number of soldiers or equipment but rather on the Deen that Allah has honoured us with. Strive to win either of the two, victory or martyrdom.” It was reported by Al-Bukhari that Khalid bin Waleed, the Sword of Allah, used nine swords that broke while he was relentlessly and courageously fighting the enemies of Islam. Indeed, the command of Muslim soldiers is likened to being a sword of Allah. It requires that weapons are used for the supremacy of the Word of Allah (swt). It mandates that the weapons are used by men who have absolute conviction in the Nasr of Allah (swt).

Regarding the weapons of the Muslims, remember the incident before the Battle of Uhud when the Messenger of Allah (saw) took a sharp sword, held it in his hand and called out unto his Companions and said, «من يأخذ هذا السيف بحقه‏؟»‏‏“Who is ready to take this sword and give it its proper due?” Many a man set out to take it. Some of them were ‘Ali bin Abi Talib, Az-Zubair bin Al-‘Awwam and ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab. But it was granted to none. Abu Dujana Sammak bin Kharsha inquired, “O Messenger of Allah, what is its price?” The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, «أن تضرب به وجوه العدو حتى ينحني»“It is to strike the enemy’s faces with it till it was bent.” So Abu Dujana said, “O Messenger of Allah, I will take it for that price.” So, he was given the sword.

Have the armies of Pakistan and Iran given their men and their weapons their full right? Their armies are from amongst the strongest armies in the world, let alone the Islamic World. Yet, the traitorous leaderships have used the weapon systems and ammunition of the Ummah contrary to what the Messenger (saw) has ordered. In fact, we see them either on display for national pride, or used to support the enemies of Muslims, under the banner of countering terrorism. Such a stance is below the stature of such powerful Muslim states. The glorious Islamic history is a testament to the fact that the Islamic state has always been world-order-changing. However, these two lowly leaderships of two great Muslim states support the corrupt international order, and the major colonialist power who benefit from it.

It is time for the capable and brave to remove such leaders who are not worthy of being in the position of leading these strong armies. It is time to remove the nation-state symbols and structures, and all who defend them, as they are what strengthen the international order and its control. It is time for the brave and courageous to step forward to support the establishment of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood. A state whose return Prophet Muhammad (saw) foretold. It is the state that will restore the dignity and stature that is due to Islam and Muslims.

Allah (swt) said,

[يَقُولُونَ هَل لَّنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ مِن شَىْءٍۢ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَمْرَ كُلَّهُۥ لِلَّهِ يُخْفُونَ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِم مَّا لَا يُبْدُونَ لَكَ يَقُولُونَ لَوْ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ شَىْءٌۭ مَّا قُتِلْنَا هَـٰهُنَا قُل لَّوْ كُنتُمْ فِى بُيُوتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَتْلُ إِلَىٰ مَضَاجِعِهِمْ وَلِيَبْتَلِىَ ٱللَّهُ مَا فِى صُدُورِكُمْ وَلِيُمَحِّصَ مَا فِى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ]

“They ask, “Do we have a say in the matter?” Say, “All matters are destined by Allah.” They conceal in their hearts what they do not reveal to you. They say, “If we had any say in the matter, none of us would have come to die here.” Say, “Even if you were to remain in your homes, those among you who were destined to be killed would have met the same fate.” Through this, Allah tests what is within you and purifies what is in your hearts. And Allah knows best what is in the heart.” [Aali-Imran:154].
