How to address the mistakes of the mujahidin.
0:12
We must address the mistakes of the mujahidin in accordance with the Qur'anic and Prophetic methodology.
0:20
Which is founded upon balance and justice in all matters.
0:24
In this regard, we must observe the following:
0:27
First:
0:28
The mujahidin are human beings who are not infallible.
0:32
Second:
0:33
Justice when speaking about their mistakes.
0:36
Allah the Almighty says:
0:38
﴾ And when you speak, be just ﴿
0:40
Third:
0:42
Compassion and mercy.
0:44
In accordance with the words of Allah the Almighty:
0:46
﴾ Merciful among themselves ﴿
0:48
And fraternal advice based on compassion and mercy.
0:52
Without public defamation or shaming.
0:55
Fourth:
0:56
Weighing the interests against the harms.
0:59
And the positive aspects of the mujahidin against their negative ones.
1:03
Fifth:
1:04
Containing the scope of advice and reform.
1:07
So that it is directed only at the specific mistake and those who committed it.
1:12
Sixth:
1:14
Offering excuses whenever there is a path to do so.
1:17
Seventh:
1:19
Not allowing the disbelievers and the hypocrites to exploit these mistakes.
1:23
Or to use them for distortion and persecution.
1:27
Eighth:
1:28
Selecting the most suitable scholars and callers to address these mistakes through appropriate means.
1:34
Ninth:
1:36
Distinguishing between loyalty and disavowal (al-wala' wa al-bara') and the hostility of enemies.
1:40
For the former is a matter of creed.
1:42
And the latter is a matter of policy.
1:44
Tenth:
1:46
Not condemning jihad because of the mistakes of the mujahidin.
1:50
For that is like condemning prayer because of the mistakes of those who pray.
1:55
The mistakes of the mujahidin are corrected.
1:58
While jihad, which is the law of Allah,
2:01
Is exalted.
2:02
Eleventh:
2:04
Distinguishing between intentional and unintentional mistakes.
2:09
And between valid and invalid errors.
2:12
Twelfth:
2:14
Prevention is better than cure.
2:17
This requires the presence of scholars and wise figures in the arenas of jihad alongside the mujahidin.
2:23
Otherwise, the blame encompasses them all.
2:26
Thirteenth:
2:28
Proposing solutions and remedies.
2:31
Fourteenth:
2:33
Exposing the crimes of the enemies with truth and justice.
2:36
Allah the Almighty says:
2:38
﴾ O you who have believed, ﴿
2:40
“O ye who believe! Be steadfast witnesses for Allah in equity, and let not hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly. Deal justly, that is nearer to your duty. Observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (5:8)
2:44
“O ye who believe! Be steadfast witnesses for Allah in equity, and let not hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly. Deal justly, that is nearer to your duty. Observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (5:8)
2:49
“O ye who believe! Be steadfast witnesses for Allah in equity, and let not hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly. Deal justly, that is nearer to your duty. Observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (5:8)
2:52
﴾ And fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do. ﴿
2:57
Fifteenth:
2:59
Highlighting the double standards used by the enemies against the mujahidin.
3:05
You see them criticizing the erroneous ijtihad of some mujahidin.
3:10
While they ignore their own disbelief and destruction of Muslim lands.
3:14
And their killing of men, women, and children.
3:18
And their plundering of their wealth.
