Allah Already Appointed a Leader for Us - Those Appointed by the Kuffar can Never Become our Leader!

News:

US Secretary of State, Blinken, announced the basic principles that the new Syrian government has to adhere to, ensuring not to become a base for terrorism, extremism and a threat to its neighbours.

The EU leaders called for a Syrian-led political process preventing the re-emergence of sectarian violence, extremism and terrorism.

Trump thinks “that Turkey holds the key to Syria”.

And President Erdogan expressed his wish to ensure that the transition process is handled gently without giving way to “any accidents along the route”. “We are in contact with Ahmed Sharaa and everyone in the new Syrian leadership”, thus emphasizing his influence on the field.

Comment:

Allah (swt) granted a magnificent victory to the Muslims in Syria. He saved them from one of the greatest Firawns (Pharos) of this era. This victory, this salvation definitely and solely belongs to the oppressed, sound-hearted and upright Muslims. This is their right and a blessing from our Lord. But traitors and puppets have no share and no portion in this victory!

Assad the Firawn is gone, and thousands of Muslim women, men and children who were subjected to incomprehensible torture in his dungeons for years have been freed. These oppressors, who built dungeons seven layers deep under the earth, and all those who supported and/or turned a blind eye to them will definitely taste their punishment in the seven layers of Allah’s Jahannam in the afterlife.

But it is essential that we fully understand the foundations of this uprising so far. We need to understand those who started this uprising, and their goals and slogans they set out with, and thus the whole spirit of this uprising. Otherwise, the Syrian Muslims' revolution and their bloodshed will be wasted, and our defiled honour, our youth buried alive, our children killed by gas bombs will not be avenged.

Therefore, we should never forget that the Syrian Muslims raised up by chanting, “Only for Allah!”, “The people want this regime to be overthrown!”, “Our eternal leader is Muhammad!”, “Islamiyya! Islamiyya! Our revolution is Islamic!”, “The people want the Caliphate again!” Throughout Syria Muslims demanded the end of the existing regime, and to replace it by an “Islamic leadership”, the establishment of the Islamic system. And they did not give up on this demand.

Now, at this point, Western powers and their treacherous collaborators, which they implanted in the Muslim lands, pretend to wish that “Syria's future must be shaped by its people!”, while they themselves draw the “path of this destiny”, just to sustain their criminal hegemony.

The US did not lag behind Assad and his protectors, the Russian and Iranian forces, and rained bombs on schools and defenceless women and children. And there is the UN, who poisoned hundreds of children by distributing mouldy biscuits to the besieged and starving people, and who violated the chastity of Muslim women in return for aid supplies, and who stood by as a spectator to the Banyas massacre. This Asfal al-Safilin still want to draw the road map for Syria. So, they handed the “key” to it to the rulers of Turkey, their loyal servants, whom they now picture as heroes.

And Erdogan, as usual, did not fail in his excellent obedience towards his colonial masters. He will be the guarantor that the newly established order in Syria does not go beyond international directives, and crosses the line of secularism and democracy. Erdogan has taken on the duty, as wished, to guide the new administration “without road accidents” towards preventing the Syrian uprising from achieving its goal, which is circumscribed by its enemies with “sectarianism, extremism and terrorism”. In short, he will be the guarantor for the continuation of the Islam-hostile colonialists’ dominance. And he does this well knowing of Allah (swt)’s warning:

[اِتَّبِعُوا مَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا مِنْ دُونِه۪ٓ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ]

“Follow that which is sent down unto you from your Lord, and do not ever follow patrons other than Him.” [Al-A’raf 3]

In this regard, Jawlani and his supporters have already promised that they will continue the current order with the left overs of the Assad regime, i.e. his politicians, his judges and his international agreements. On the other hand, although they even released and pardoned Assad’s Shabbiha, they still did not release the believers whom they unjustly imprisoned in Idlib simply for speaking the truth! In return, they have been removed from the international terrorist list.

Therefore, the revolution in Syria is still not over. The Syrian people, who got rid of Bashar Assad, could not get rid of the regime, i.e. the tool of the domination of the kuffar. Only the name and faces of the regime have changed. None of these fake heroes who claim to be the leaders of the Syrian people have the quality of the leadership that the Muslims demanded since the beginning of the revolution.

All Syrian Muslims, especially the Mujahideen and the new administration, must not slip away even the slightest bit from the obedience to Allah at all costs. They must express their desire to realize their own goals, and to establish the order of Allah and the leadership of Islam, without the slightest fear in their hearts towards the enemies of Allah. Now, they must continue their struggle for this cause with greater determination and perseverance. Most importantly, they should remember their promise to Allah and remain loyal to Allah, themselves and the entire Ummah and don't give the Kuffar any opportunity.

Without doubt, the believers have only one leader! And that is the message revealed by Allah (swt) as a salvation and guidance to all mankind, through His Messenger and servant Muhammad (saw). The Lord of the Worlds warns those who follow any person, any group, any idea, any value outside of this message as follows:

[يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِنْ تُط۪يعُوا الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلٰٓى اَعْقَابِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوا خَاسِر۪ينَ]

“O you who have believed, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your heels, and you will [then] become losers.” [Al-i Imran 149]

[وَمَنْ اَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْر۪ي فَاِنَّ لَهُ مَع۪يشَةً ضَنْكاً وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ اَعْمٰى]

“And whoever turns away from My Reminder will certainly have a miserable life, then We will raise them up blind on the Day of Judgment.” [Taha 124].

In short; all these explanations reveal that Allah (swt) has defined a path for mankind, which they should walk, adhere to, obey. This means, we do already have a leader appointed by Allah (swt) for us. Having such a leader, those appointed by the kuffar can never become our leaders! No one, who is declared a hero or ruler over us by the enemies of Allah and the believers can ever be our leader!

Therefore, the Syrian Muslims need to walk the path they have started, and follow the leadership of Qur'an and Sunnah only. And we have to walk with them and follow this leadership and embody this leadership as individuals, political structures, as an Ummah and finally as a STATE, then we will be saved from misery and achieve prosperity and the best of the best in everything. We will achieve prosperity not only for ourselves but the entire humanity. Establishing this leadership in the form of the Second Khilafah Rashidah on the Method of Prophethood is not only the right of the Muslims in Syria and across the world. In fact, it is a true matter of life and death.
