A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
Defensive jihad and offensive jihad.
0:11
The jihad against the disbelievers is divided into two categories.
0:16
Defensive jihad and offensive jihad.
0:19
Firstly, defensive jihad.
0:22
This is the jihad against an aggressor and an attacker.
0:24
Whether he is a disbeliever or a Muslim.
0:27
This is the jihad against an oppressor without misinterpretation or authority.
0:31
This is a personal obligation on every adult, capable Muslim.
0:36
As follows:
0:38
If the aggressor's intent is wealth,
0:40
it is permissible to defend against him with whatever is possible.
0:42
Even if it means giving him something of the wealth.
0:45
And if his intent is honor and fornication,
0:48
it is obligatory upon the one being attacked
0:50
to defend himself with whatever is possible.
0:53
And it is never permissible to submit to him.
0:56
And if his intent is to kill,
0:59
then defending against him is obligatory or permissible.
1:01
There are two opinions in the school of Imam Ahmad and others regarding its obligation.
1:05
And if the fighting is a fitnah (tribulation),
1:08
there are two opinions in the school of Imam Ahmad and others.
1:11
It is permissible to defend oneself or to surrender.
1:15
So, defensive jihad is broader than offensive jihad.
1:19
And more generally obligatory.
1:21
It is therefore incumbent without permission.
1:23
This is like the jihad of the Muslims on the day of Uhud and the Trench.
1:27
And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:31
"Whoever is killed defending his property is a martyr."
1:34
"Whoever is killed defending his religion is a martyr."
1:38
"Whoever is killed defending his blood is a martyr."
1:41
"Whoever is killed defending his family is a martyr."
1:45
Narrated by Tirmidhi.
1:47
So, defending an aggressor against religion is jihad and an act of worship.
1:51
And defending an aggressor against wealth and life is permissible.
1:55
If one is killed in it, he is a martyr.
1:58
It is not a condition in defensive jihad that the enemy be twice the number of Muslims or less.
2:04
This is a jihad of necessity and defense, not a jihad of choice.
2:08
And defensive jihad is intended by everyone.
2:12
Only the coward, condemned by law and reason, would shy away from it.
2:17
Secondly, offensive jihad.
2:21
This is the pursuit of the enemy disbeliever and to gain victory over him and his land.
2:25
So that the servants and the lands submit to Islam.
2:29
And polytheism is eradicated.
2:31
Allah the Almighty says:
2:32
“And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. But if they cease, then lo! Allah is Seer of what they do.” (8:39)
2:39
Its ruling is that it is a collective obligation (fard kifayah).
2:42
Unless the Imam calls upon the Muslims to mobilize.
2:45
Then it becomes an individual obligation on those whom he calls upon.
2:49
And by this, it is understood that all the resolutions of the infidel United Nations are nullified.
2:55
And what is called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
2:58
Which calls for respecting the boundaries of others.
3:01
And lasting peace and coexistence.
3:04
And freedom of belief.
3:06
And so on.
3:08
Offensive jihad precedes the establishment of a state and a polity for the Muslims and their capability.
3:14
Therefore, preparation for it is obligatory.
3:17
By establishing this entity first.
3:20
Islam is not merely a creed.
3:24
So that it suffices to convey its creed to people through explanation.
3:29
Rather, it is a methodology embodied in an organized, dynamic collective.
3:34
That strives to liberate all people.
3:37
It is a methodology based on singling out Allah alone for divinity.
3:42
Manifested in sovereignty.
3:44
And it organizes real life in all its daily details.
3:49
So, jihad for the sake of this methodology.
3:52
Is jihad to establish it and implement its system.
3:56
As for the creed,
3:57
its matter is left to the freedom of persuasion under the general system.
4:02
After removing all influences.
4:05
And we must not confuse the various Qur'anic verses.
4:11
in different historical stages and their contextual meanings.
4:16
With the general meaning of the long Islamic movement.
4:21
And we must understand that the verses that speak of holding back hands.
4:25
are a matter of strategy, not a matter of principle.
4:28
And a matter of the exigencies of movement.
4:31
Not a matter of creedal tenets.
4:34
This is the concept with which the defeated should be confronted.
4:39
Those influenced by Western and Eastern ideologies.
4:44
This religion is.
4:46
A general declaration for the liberation of humanity on Earth.
4:50
From servitude to other humans.
4:52
And from servitude to desires as well.
4:55
By declaring the divinity and Lordship of Allah alone, Glorified be He, over the worlds.
5:02
If Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both.
5:05
had felt secure from the aggression of the Romans and Persians against the Arabian Peninsula.
5:08
Would they have refrained from extending the Islamic tide to the ends of the Earth?
