Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Al-Qaida chief calls Muslims to jihad

Nov 27, 2004 8:07 am By Robert Spencer

Sheikh Al-O’Taibi (Al-O’Taibi? What is he, an Irishman?), identified as Abu Abd Al-Rahman Al-Aathry, the new chief of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, has published this statement calling Muslims to jihad. It is at the pro-jihad site Jihad Unspun. Note the copious references to the Qur’an and the actions of Muhammad. This, as I have noted many, many times, is how jihadists recruit. And this is what moderate Muslims have in no way begun to refute, despite all their protestations that the Qur’an and Sunnah teach peace. Note the heavy use of Sura 9, which Islamic tradition has regarded (with some dissenters) as the last sura revealed, and thus the Qur’an’s last word on jihad.

Oh, Those Who Are Staying Behind:

The Prophet (PBUH) said “None of you become believer until he loves for his brother whatever he loves for himself”. He (the Prophet) also said “Religion is advice”, (meaning that advice one another is an integral part of our religion, Islam). Therefore, I have come to you with sincere advice. Today, we are able to do whatever we wish without accountability, and tomorrow (judgment day) is accountability with no more doing.

Oh, Those Who Are Staying Behind

Have you settled to stay behind with women?

They prefer to be with (the women), who remain behind (at home): Their hearts are sealed and so they understand not. 9:8, The Holy Qura”an.

This is the unpleasant fact that you never wanted to face. Do you really want to stay with the Hypocrites, and people of excuses? What have done for your religion? Especially as you see it (Islam) being attacked and slaughtered every day everywhere….

Oh, Those Who Are Staying Behind:

Didn’t you hear Allah saying:

And fight them on until there is no more persecution, and religion becomes Allah’s in its entirety”¦ 8:39, The Holy Qura”an.

Aren’t you aware of Allah’s saying:

Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)”¦ 9:5 The Holy Qura”an.

Didn’t Allah say:

Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and disgrace them, Help you to victory over them, Heal the breasts of Believers. And still the indignation of their hearts”¦, 9:14,15 The Holy Qura”an.

Didn’t Allah say:

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, or hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His messenger, Nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, from among the people of the book until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. 9:29 The Holy Qura”an.

Didn’t Allah say:O Prophet! Strive hard against The Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is hell,-An evil refuge indeed. 9:73 The Holy Qura”an.

Didn’t Allah say:O you who believe! Fight the Unbelievers who are near to you and let them find harshness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him. 9:123 The Holy Qura”an.

Oh, Those Who Are Staying Behind:

Allah says:

Do you consider the giving of drink to pilgrims, or the maintenance of the sacred Mosque, equal to (the pious service of) those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and strive with might and main in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah: And Allah guides not those who do wrong. Those who believe, and emigrate and strive with might and main, in Allah “˜s cause, with their goods and their persons, have the highest rank in the sight of Allah: They are the people who will achieve (salvation). Their Lord does give them Glad tidings of a Mercy from Himself, of His good pleasure. And of Gardens for them, Wherein are delights That endure: They will dwell therein For ever. Verily with Allah is a reward, the greatest (of all). 9:19-22 The Holy Qura”an.

Oh, Those Who Are Staying Behind:

Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred: The wealth that you have gained; The commerce in which you fear a decline: or the dwellings in which you delight- Are dearer to you than Allah Or His Messenger, or the striving In his cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His Decision: and Allah Guides not the rebellious. 9:24 The Holy Qura”an.

Oh, Those Who Are Staying Behind:

O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that, when you are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless you go forth He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; But Him you would not harm in the least, For Allah Has power over all things. 9:38-39 The Holy Qura”an.

Oh, Those Who Are Staying Behind:

Go forth (whether equipped) Lightly or heavily, and strive and struggle, with your goods and your person, in the cause of Allah. That is best for you, if you (but knew). 9:41 The Holy Qura”an.

Oh, Those Who Are Staying Behind:

Don’t you fear what Allah says:If they had intended to come out, they would certainly have made some preparation therefore: but Allah was averse to their being sent forth; so He made them lag behind, and they were told, “sit you among those who sit (inactive).”If they had come out with you, they would not have added to your (strength) but only (made for) disorder, hurrying to and fro in your midst and sowing sedition among you, and there would have been some among you who would have listened to them. But Allah knows well those who do wrong. 9:46,47 The Holy Qura”an.

Oh, Those Who Are Staying Behind:

Aren’t you concerned about Allah’s saying: Those who were left behind (in the Tabouk expedition) rejoiced in their sitting back behind the Messenger of Allah: they hated to strive and fight, with their goods and their persons, in the cause of Allah: they said, “Go not forth in the heat. Say, “The fire of hell is fiercer in heat,” if only they could understand! Let them laugh a little: Much will they weep: a recompense for the (evil) that they do. If, then, Allah bring you back to any of them, and they ask you permission to come out (with you), say: Never shall you come out with me, nor fight an enemy with me: for you preferred to sit inactive on the first occasion: then sit you (now) with those who stay behind . 9:81-83 The Holy Qura”an.

Oh, Those Who Are Staying Behind:

Didn’t you know the story of the three men who were left behind? What was their crime? It was refraining from Jihad (staying behind)..take a closer look at their story as it was told in the Holy Qura”an. They were companions of the Prophet and they were among the best people, they accompanied the Prophet to some of his expeditions. What was their punishment (for staying behind)? The messenger of Allah (PBUH) ignored them for 50 consecutive nights, despite the fact that they have repented to Allah. but Allah did not accept their repentance until after 50 nights! The matter is serious indeed, so think again and reevaluate your action before you are held accountable.
