Praise in Allah, who sent his messengers with the evidence and the guide, and reduced with them the book and the balance, so that people establish justice. And It reduced the iron, in which there is a frightening force, as well as utilities for people, and so that Allah recognizes who, in the Invisible one, will defend Its cause and that of Its Messengers. Admittedly, Allah is Fort and Powerful. And It made that the last of them was Muhammad (SAWS), which was sent with the good direction and the Religion of Truth, so that it triumphs over any other religion.And It supported it by the authority which assembles the direction of the knowledge and the feather to direct and establish the proof, and feel it capacity and sword to protect and sanction. I testify that there is of god only Allah, only, without associate, and that Muhammad is its servant and messenger who the prayer and peace is on him like on its family and her companions, a testimony whose author finds himself some in an infallible protection. Then:
Allah (SWT) sent his messenger in mercy for humanity. So that, on proof, lived that which (had) to live, and perished, on proof, that which (had) to perish. And It issued that this divine light has enemies who block his arrival with people. Origin of animosity of the latter is old seniority of Ibliss, when this one envied Adam and disobeys Allah while refusing consequently to follow his order of what Very High its mercy drove out and judged its mécréance and It a time granted to him, by its decree, until the day of the known moment. Ibliss sat down for the descent of Adam equipping to them making the religion, them promises, and faisantdéviée of the right way of Allah, then Allah sent the prophets in recall for people, and like favour of his share and softness for his servants and like benevolence and proof towards his creation (i.e men and djinns).
Since the force of Ibliss lies in the whisper not in the physical force. This one endeavoured to corrupt the nature first (FITRA) of some descendants of Adam until it did of them soldiers who divert path of Allah, fight His allies (AWLIYA' IHI), and assassinate the decoy-birds with Allah so that the truth does not arrive at the ears of people. Allah then gave the permission to believing to face them and act in order to fight them to prevent the corruption on ground, and so that the religion of Allah dominates, in order to what has religion there on ground only the unicity of Allah, and establishment of its legislation and its justice between its servants.
Thus, there is no straightness (QAWÂM) in the religion without the proof and the clarification which do not arrive at people without the sword. The religion needs a force which protects its call from the human demons so that the truth can arrive at the intellect of people. Then of that, that which wants to believe that it makes it, and that which wants mécroire that it does it.
Therefore the sword had a great importance in the religion and a high row which reached the top. The prophet (saws) showed this importance, in the hadith (authenticates) reported by Mouâad ibn Jabal, where he says: “what there is of more important it is Islam, its pillar it is have-Salat (the prayer), and its climax (Thirwat sanamihi) it is the Djihad in the way of Allah. ”
Chaykh Al Islam Ibn Taymiyya said (in “Al-fatawa, djouz' 28”): “finality (ALMAQSOUD) of the sending of the messengers, and the descent (revelation) of the books, is that people establish justice in the rights of Allah and the rights of its creation. Then, Allah (exalté it is) said: “And We reduced the iron, in which there is a frightening force, as well as utilities for people, and so that Allah recognizes whom, in the Invisible one, will defend Its cause and that of Its Messengers.” (57: 25). Thus, that which is diverted book must be rectified by iron. Therefore straightness (QAWÂM) in the religion required the Book and the sword. One country of Jabir ibn Abdallah (ra): the messenger of Allah (SAWS) ordered to us to strike with this one (C. - with-D. the sword) that which is diverted that one (C. - with-D. the Book). ”
The first trick of Ibliss was to mislead Adam (as), to lie to him, and to convince it to eat prohibited tree. It swore to him that it was number of the conseilleurs, Adam did not think that whoever would swear on Allah while lying. It thus ate this tree. Allah reduced to leave the paradise and on ground, and It warned it against the demon, and informed of the reality of its hostility. In the same way, the follower of Ibliss continue to swear on Allah then to lie (with people) to achieve their following goal in that their chief, lapidated.
When Satan was in despair of the messenger of Allah Adam (as), it turned to his Qabil son, it whispered to him and pushed to kill his Habil brother. Qabil obeyed to him, and it was the first killed heart. Thereafter, Satan acted to divert the descent of Adam of the worship of Allah by using various processes and means. It was even introduced by the door of the exaggeration towards the virtuous ones. People adopted statutes to venerate certain virtuous people, then these people were forgotten, and these statutes were taken as divinities for themselves. Also, the stars, the stars, and of many creatures were adored apart from Allah....
....In with respect to this great corruption which was spread on ground, Allah (SWT) sent the messengers and the prophets like indicator boards and warning signals. This warning of the messengers was one of the things which the most disturbed the mission of Satan which was in despair to divert the messengers (ACE) of their mission. This whereas it knows that their call has a great effect on people. Because the clear and clear truth that they brought back can only be accepted by those which have alive hearts and healthy natures. The demon took care to corrupt the FITRA (natural first) people, and to kill their hearts, by the means of the desires and ambiguities.
When many people had followed it, it put them at its place in the war with the prophets and the opposition to the truth. They started to kill the prophets, to drive out them their houses, to persecute them, and to divert their follower of the truth by all the means. All this so that they prevent the truth from touching the hearts of people, and that the latter do not enter the religion of Allah in groups, becoming soldiers of the miséricordieux Whole and lowering the banner of the demon.
This one is the reality of the old fight between Truth and the Forgery. Allah (SWT) issued this fight for the large and major wisdoms, apparent of them: to differentiate people from Truth, to raise their row, to elect believing them of the whole of its creation just as the moudjahiddines in its path. This forgery which was spread on ground by the action of the Demon and its auxiliaries, it is necessary to stop it.
Thing which can be carried out only by the men of resolution who believed in Allah and his prophet, and taken on their shoulders the responsibility to diffuse the religion and to raise the word of Allah on ground and to overcome Satan and his soldiers, therefore the speech of the Djihad was addressed in Quran only for believing who have a position and a row higher than those which simply subjected (ASLAMOU) but that the faith did not penetrate yet in their hearts.
The war of Satan is made up of two shutters: physics and ideological. The ideological shutter is act of war of ambiguities and falsenesses theological and doctrinal, aiming making leave people the religion or at planting in their hearts the doubt which is opposed to certainty (YAQÎNE). Those which carry out this war against the demon, are the divine scientists who aloud say the truth in times when dominate ambiguities, and which push back the doubt by the certainty. As for the physical confrontation, it is ensured by the moudjahiddines in the grounds of the war. It is this one the combat in the path of Allah. And it is him which is indicated by “Djihad” in the Koranic texts. The two shutters need the money which is essential (QAWÂM) for these two Djihads. This one is thus a Djihad assisting and complementary to the two other forms. Prophet (SAWS) included these three types of Djihad in his word: “made the Djihad with the associateurs with your money, your people, and your languages” (authenticates, paid in sahih sunnan Abi Daoud). And the best of people is that which makes the Djihad by its science, its person, and her money.
It is a very simple equation: it y' has a divine truth wanted by Allah like legislation for people, and it y' has a satanic falseness wanted by Ibliss to divert people of this truth. It resulted from these two realities, that people carried on their shoulders the mission of diffusing the divine truth, to forward it to people, and to overcome Satan and its party, by using their money, their person, and their language. And it is among people those which were induced in error by Satan which corrupted them and reversed their FITRA (natural first), they thus defend its Forgery and fight for that and prohibit the arrival of the veracious word of Allah to people. Allah known as: “Believing Them fight in the path of Allah, and those which do not believe fight in the path of Taghut.”
The demon has several entries, and its trick does not come from only one feature, it gradually induces in error the son of Adam. Allah known as: “and do not follow the steps of the devil.” It is not a question of only one step, rather they are steps. And it does not come by only one way, rather, its entries are numerous. It is brought back in the authentic hadith: prophet (SAWS) traced a line, and he said: this one is the way of Allah, then it traced lines on its line and on its left and it said: they are ways, on each one of them a demon which calls there, then it read: ““And here is My way in all its straightness, thus follow it; and do not follow the paths which draw aside you from His way.” Here are what It you enjoint. Thus you will reach piety.” Thus, the way of Allah is one, and the ways of the demon are numerous. The latter learned with its follower these entries and these ways, and it added to them the mixture of the Forgery with some Truth so that initially it is likely to be accepted. Allah known as: “And do not mix the forgery with the truth. Do not hide the truth knowingly.” Thus, the trick of the devil comes slowly and gradually, in several ways, and with amalgamation and clothing.
The man can call with the truth that which is at the beginning of the way of démoniaque mislaying, or that which follows the demon because of a momentary desire or of a blind fanaticism which runs up against innate nature. As for that which were subjected to the demon and which became itself a demon collaborating with the original demon by conviction and faith in its Forgery, that one is a corrupted element and turpide, it is similar to a cancerous cell which is needed éradiquer human body for step that it is propagated there. “It guides a part, while an other part deserved mislaying because they took, instead of Allah, the devils for allies, and they think that they well-are guided!” (07: 30). These are actually demons, but of a mankind, they are combined with the demons djinns which want stray wire of Adam and to destroy them. Their co-operation is complete. And the work of the first is complementary to that of the seconds: “of the devils among the men and the djinns, who are inspired the ones with the others unfaithul words.” (06: 112)
There is no Truth in the world deserving to remain without its partisans fighting for him. If they do not do it, Allah predestines to him of other people - and they will not be as they - which make it, and It (swt) raises Truth by them. Truth cannot remain without there being blood which irrigates it, of the corpses which protect it, of the swords which defend it, and a long patience and certainty. If I had a gold mountain, I would certainly have melted it to write, with, the words hereafter of chaykh Abdullah Azzam - that Allah makes him mercy and accepts it among the martyrs - because of the force which they contain as well as the proof, the truth, the eloquence, and the clarification which challenges the conscience. It said (RA):
“This religion came by the sword, it was instituted by the sword, it remains by the sword, and it is lost if the sword is lost. This religion is a religion of imposing presence, fear, force, authority, of power, and the weakness is there a crime whose author deserves the hell: “Those which made wrong to themselves, the Angels will remove their hearts while saying: “Where were you?” (in connection with your religion) - “We were impotent on ground”, said. Then, the Angels will say: “Wasn't the ground of Allah enough vast to enable you to emigrate?” Here well those whose refuge is the Hell. And which bad destination!” (04: 97).
The impotence is not an excuse at the lord of the worlds, it is a crime whose author deserves certainly the hell, except for those which Allah excused: the blind man, the lame one, and the patient. “Except for the impotent ones: men, women and children, incompetents to manage, and who do not find any way. With these, it may be that Allah gives forgiveness. Allah is Rahim and Rhafour. ” (04: 98,99) we will not dissimulate, and we will not have shame by presenting our religion at humanity. This religion came to save all the men, on all the ground. This religion came to save the man, mankind, on ground, all the ground.
“We will not have shame to say: our religion ordered to us to terrorize the enemy, and the fact of frightening it is an obligation (established) of above the seven (skies) superimposed. “And prepare [to fight] against them all that you can like force and cavalry equipped, in order to frighten the enemy of Allah and yours” (8: 60)
“Our position will not be influenced, nor the nature of our religion will not be it, by wire of the Muslims overcome vis-a-vis the weight of current reality, and vis-a-vis the offensive cheating orientalist which aimed three centuries during the worship of the Djihad and its belief.
“They say to us: your religion was founded by the sword. We answer them: our religion is a religion of love, peace, and of mercy for the universe, but it was founded by the sword, our prophet was sent with the sword, our religion was defended only by the sword, and unicity was defended only by the sword.
