A Nation Longing for Jihad and Conquests, Shackled by Ruwaibidha Rulers
News:
The media circulated statements by US President Trump in which he demanded the Bagram Airfield from Afghanistan. The response of the Afghan army commander then topped social media when he said, "Agreeing to even an inch of Afghan land is impossible."
Comment:
The Muslim has a strong belief that makes him work in this world as if he will live forever, but in a moment he is ready to leave this world under his feet, because in this world he sees himself as a passer-by, stocking up for the Hereafter. This is why we always see the Muslim youth eager for Jihad and seeking martyrdom in the cause of Allah. The Mujahid carries his soul in his palm to sell it to Allah in exchange for a Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth.
This combat creed is what made the Islamic Ummah defeat the Romans, Persians, Crusaders, and Tatars, when it had a state that employed this creed correctly in taking care of its affairs and carrying the banner of Islam. So the two sides of the balance were: Da’wah and Jihad, sufficient to break all obstacles in its path. Jihad was a creed for the army, a method for spreading Islam, and the state's policy towards its enemies was based on it, so any political agreements or negotiations that came after it were under the shadow of swords, in which the Ummah imposed its full conditions and subjugated its enemy to it.
But unfortunately, since the destruction of the Caliphate, and after the disbeliever appointed caretakers who are agents for him over us, Jihad no longer has a Caliph to establish it, move armies, and prepare to spread Islam. Rather, Jihad in the cause of Allah remained individual acts carried out by sincere individuals and groups without having a state to organize them, take care of them, protect them, and make their might a fire on the oppressors and a light by whose shadows the Ummah is guided. In addition to this, the political affairs of the Muslims are managed by others, so the sacrifices of the Mujahideen are lost in the corridors of the palaces of the Muslim rulers and the West alike. There are many examples of this in Palestine, Algeria, Iraq, Egypt, Afghanistan and Syria.
The victory achieved by the Mujahideen of Afghanistan in repelling the occupation should have ended with a state that rules by the Sharia of Allah, a Khilafah on the method of Prophethood, for the Muslims' fateful issue is the establishment of the Sharia and its implementation in all of life; in politics, governance, economics, society, and internal and external affairs, as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did when he took power in Madinah. This path is in reality what cuts off the arms of America, Russia, and others from the Muslim countries. Hizb ut-Tahrir presented to the Taliban government a detailed plan of action and a constitution derived from the Book and Sunnah, and offered itself as the owner of an authentic Islamic political project capable of reviving Afghanistan and its surroundings and the entire Ummah, so that America would truly see whether it would then dare to demand bases or whether it would have another word in which it begs the Islamic state to stop its might against it?
But unfortunately, it refused, and it insists on downplaying Afghanistan and making it an emirate instead of being a starting point for a large, global state!
What caught my attention in the army commander's statements was in fact the reactions of the general Muslim public and their joy at this breeze of honor that appeared in his words. I hope that it will not be erased by anything afterwards!
Yes, the entire Ummah rejoices in the gusts of honor that blow from time to time, from movements in which they see goodness or people they think are good, but they deceive them when they turn on their heels and take off the cloak of Islam on the thresholds of palaces.
This joy is evidence of life and a strong longing in the general Muslim public and a willingness to sacrifice and strive with everything precious for the sake of a true return and a radical renaissance that ends the era of humiliation and submission and returns us to being the best nation that dominates the world with justice, and that is not difficult for Allah. May it be soon so that the blood of the sincere Mujahideen merges with the decisions of the sincere rulers, and the Ummah strikes its enemies with the sword of Khalid and the wisdom of Omar and Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with them all.
So, O Allah, employ us and grant us delight and give us glad tidings of what pleases us and pleases You from us; a righteous Khilafah on the method of Prophethood. O Most Generous Respondent and Best Responder.
