Possessing Nuclear Weapons is an Utmost Necessity
News:
Advisor to the Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to Al Jazeera: We are facing a treacherous enemy, and the repetition of its aggression is possible, and our forces are ready to respond forcefully. If Israel does not learn from our strikes, we will teach it another, more powerful lesson. (Al Jazeera "X Platform", July 2, 2025)
Comment:
The enemies of the Ummah; the usurping entity, America, and all the major countries possess nuclear weapons, and confronting and deterring these enemies requires possessing nuclear weapons, and what that requires in terms of preparation.
Seriousness and a sense of responsibility require actions at the level of the challenge, not slogans that do not intimidate an enemy or deter an aggressor.
Among those actions is withdrawing from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which, by the way, has no authority over the usurping entity.
At the forefront of these actions is spreading legitimate awareness among Muslims, and issuing fatwas from the scholarly bodies in this direction.
Allah Almighty said: ﴿And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows﴾, Preparation for fighting is an obligation, and this preparation must be visible in a way that terrifies the enemies, so His saying, ﴿terrify﴾ is a reason for preparation, and from here came the فرضية (assumption) of providing weapons, equipment and other supplies for the army, including nuclear armament, until terrorism exists. And it should be noted the utmost accuracy in the verse in that God did not make the preparation for the sake of fighting, but rather made it for the sake of terrorism, and this is more eloquent; Because the enemy's knowledge of the strength of the Muslims is what terrifies him from attacking them, and terrifies him from facing them, and this is the greatest method for winning wars and achieving victory.
If the existing regimes in Muslim countries do not want or cannot enter the nuclear club, then let awareness spread among Muslims about the necessity of establishing a regime that undertakes this duty, and what it requires in terms of preparing human, material, scientific and technological capabilities. Investing billions in this direction is better than freezing it in Western markets and banks, or wasting it on tourist facilities, towering towers, and sports clubs.
