You are given 15 minutes to discuss in group – then to share with the class



Among the oft-repeated misconception used in spreading hatred towards

Islam (today it is called ‘Islamophobia’), which actually started since the

Crusades is the allegation that Islam is a “violent religion” and it was

spread the outcome of “forced conversion.”

That Islam does teach Muslims to “fight” against aggressor and defending

the oppressed – the teaching of “Jihad bil-al-Sayf” (strive with the sword)

– is a fact.

What or how they twist and distort the facts with their narratives,

obviously biased and dishonestly selective, have been relentless mostly

spurred by enmity towards Islam.



Muslims must be educated (to re-new their worldview) to know how to

dispel and refute the fallacious arguments regarding this. Unfortunately

some may have already become ‘apologetically affected’ and ashamed

that they tend even agree to the liberal movement for Muslims to amend

or purge these verses from the Qur’an and Ahadith, which these anti-

Islam (Islamaphobic) interlocutors are asserting.

Muslims must be very careful in sorting this issue purposely ‘dirtied by

fallacious misinterpretations’ so as not to be led to succumb to a greater

or compound error as in the adage : “Throwing the baby with the (murky)

bath water.” MAY ALLAH GRANT US WITH WISDOM AND ELOQUENCE

From Tsauban r.a. :From Tsauban r.a. :

AL-WAHNU



“Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are

being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed,

Allah is competent to give them victory.”

(Qur’an: Hajj: 22:39)



“(KUTIBA – ‘ALAYKUMUL- QITAL) Fighting has been

enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps

you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you

love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while

you know not.”

(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 216)



'The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah

than the weak believer, although both are good.

Strive for that which will benefit you, seek the help of

Allah, and do not feel helpless.

If anything befalls you, do not say, "if only I had done

such and such" rather say :

"QAD-DARALLAAHU WA-MAA - SHA-A – FA-’ALA

(Allah has decreed and whatever he wills, He does)."

For (saying) 'If' opens (the door) to the deeds of Satan.'“

(Hadith reported by Ibn Majah)



“[They are] those who have been evicted from their

homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord

is Allah." And were it not that Allah checks the people,

some by means of others, there would have been

demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and

mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned.

And Allah will surely support those who support Him.

Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.”

(Qur’an: Hajj: 22: 40)



“And prepare against them whatever you are

able of power and of 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. And whatever you

spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to

you, and you will not be wronged.”

(Qur’an: Anfaal: 8: 60)



"Indeed, Allah will surely admit three into Paradise by a

single arrow. Its maker who seeks good by his making it, the

one who shoots it, and the one who holds arrows for him."

And he ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said: "Practice archery and practice riding,

and the one practicing archery is more beloved to me than

that of riding. All idle pastimes that the Muslim man

engages in are falsehood, except for his shooting of his bow,

his training of his horse, and his frolicking (playing) with his

wife, for they are from truth.“

(Hadith reported by Tirmidzi)


"There shall come upon the people a time in which

the one who is patient upon his religion will be like

the one holding onto a burning ember.“




“And what is [the matter] with you that you

fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the

oppressed among men, women, and children

who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city of

oppressive people and appoint for us from

Yourself a protector and appoint for us from

Yourself a helper?“

(Qur’an: An-Nisa’: 4: 75)



“You will surely find the most intense of the people in

animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those

who associate others with Allah; and you will find the

nearest of them in affection to the believers those who

say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are

priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.”

(Qur’an: Maa-idah: 5: 82)



“(QOTILUU) Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you

but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like

transgressors (MU’-TADEEN).”




Abu Hurairah r.a. said: "The Messenger of Allah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said:

'Whoever parts from obedience, and splits away from the

Jama'ah and dies, then he has died a death of Jahiliyyah.

Whoever rebels against my Ummah, killing good and evil people

alike, and does not try to avoid killing the believers, and does

not pay attention to those who are under a covenant, then he is

not of me. Whoever fights for a cause that is not clear,

advocating tribalism, getting angry for the sake of tribalism,

and he is killed, then he has died a death of Jahiliyyah.'“

(Hadith reported by Nasa-i)

“Whoever parts from obedience, and splits away from the Jama'ah

and dies, then he has died a death of Jahiliyyah.”

“Whoever rebels against my Ummah …

… killing good and evil people alike …

… and does not try to avoid killing the believers …

… and does not pay attention to those who are under a covenant,

then he is not of me.”

“Whoever fights for a cause that is not clear, advocating tribalism,

getting angry for the sake of tribalism, and he is killed, then he has

died a death of Jahiliyyah.”




“And kill them * wherever you overtake them and

expel them from wherever they have expelled you,

and FITNAH (oppression) is worse than killing. And

do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they

fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them.

Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.”


* Remember the context is the war against oppression


“And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Fight them until there is no [more] FITNAH (oppression) and

[until] worship is [acknowledged to be] for Allah. But if they

cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the

oppressors.”

(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 192-193)



"Indeed, among the greatest types of Jihad is (speaking up with) a

just statement (KALIMAT –’ADLIN) before a tyrannical ruler.“



"By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! The Hour will not be

established until you fight your A'immah (i.e. IMAMS –leaders), and

you strike each other with your swords, and your world will be

inherited by the evilest among you.“




Abu Dzarr r.a. said: "The Messenger of Allah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said: 'There will be people among my Ummah

(nation) after me who will recite the Qur'an, but it

will not go any deeper than their throats. They will

pass through Islam like an arrow passing through its

target, then they will never return to it. They are the

most evil of mankind and of all creation.'




"In the end of time there will come a people young in

years, foolish in minds, reciting the Qur'an which will

not go beyond their throats, uttering sayings from

the best of creatures, going through the religion as

an arrow goes through the target.“

"Three (armies) will fight one another for your treasure,

each one of them the son of a caliph, but none of them will

gain it. Then the black banners will come from the east, and

they will kill you in an unprecedented manner."

Then he ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص mentioned something that I do not

remember, then he ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said: "When you see them, then

pledge your allegiance to them even if you have to crawl

over the snow, for that is the caliph of Allah, Mahdi."

“They would soon seek protection in this House, viz. Ka'ba (the

defenceless), people who would have nothing to protect themselves

in the shape of weapons or the strength of the people. An army

would be sent to fight (and kill) them and when they would enter a

plain ground the army would be sunk in it.”
