Guidance and Misguidance
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah bless our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions, and grant them Peace.
Indeed the support and help come through the Quran and sword.
Allah, the Most High says:
"Certainly We sent Our apostles with clear arguments, and sent down with them the Book and the balance that men may conduct themselves with equity; and We have made the iron, wherein is great violence and advantages to men, and that Allah may know who helps Him and His apostles in the secret; surely Allah is Strong, Mighty".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 57. "The Iron", verse 25)
This is the path that was chosen by the companions who followed the Book of Allah and were obedient on Armed Jihad; this is the reason why Allah has purified their faith and granted them victories on the battlefields.
Allah, the Most High says:
"Allah has promised to those of you who believe and do good that He will most certainly make them rulers in the earth as He made rulers those before them, and that He will most certainly establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them, and that He will most certainly, after their fear, give them security in exchange; they shall serve Me, not associating aught with Me; and whoever is ungrateful after this, these it is who are the transgressors".
(The Holy Quran, Surah 24. "The Light", verse 55)
Later, when the practice of the Book and Armed Jihad was brought to a stall, the power of Muslims had dramatically declined.
Wherever the banner of Jihad was set, you already see Mujahideen are in a hurry to go there, searching for martyrdom, wherever it could be found. You could see very few among them who had spent some time studying in the past. But you will not see among them scholars who would advise the Mujahideen to strengthen their faith.
The Prophet, may Allah bless him, and grant him Peace, said:
"A group of people from my Ummah will continue to fight in defense of truth and remain triumphant until the Day of Judgment".
One of the indications of the weakness of the Ummah and its deviation from the description of the Victorious Group today is the fact that there are very few well learned who are fighting in the fields of Jihad.
The revival of Armed Jihad, which the Ummah experiences today, is a right time for the seekers of the true knowledge to make a step towards Hijrah and Jihad on the path of Allah, because He, the Most High says:
