After the London bombings on 7 July 2005, the West embarked upon a campaign to introduce rapid and successive legislation specifically targeting Muslims living in the west. As expected, they tried to deceive the people by pretending that these new laws were aimed at fighting the threat of terrorism in their countries. The speed and secrecy with which these measures were introduced, in addition to their comprehensiveness and wide reaching effects, exposes the falsehood of this pretence. It further demonstrates a clear strategy devised by the West aimed at subjugating Islam and Muslims in Western countries.
What demonstrates the certainty of this strategy is the synchronised response of all western governments that moved with the same degree of speed, secrecy and collaboration. Their campaign initially began under the pretext of fighting terrorism but quickly expanded to include the fight against so called radical and extreme views, with the aim of exploiting differences among Muslims and destroying their brotherhood. Then it broadened further to reach the Muslim schools and their syllabi. It entered the mosques and targeted their Imams, dictating to them what is to be said therein. It included the Hijab of the Muslim women and then it attacked the values and thoughts of Islam. It expanded to reach the noble Quran and its injunctions, and here we are today, with some of the politicians requesting the expulsion of Muslims if they do not adhere to and adopt the western values.
It has become clear that Western governments refuse to be held accountable for their own actions. They even refuse to show any interest in the real causes of any acts of violence against their citizens. If they were sincere in combating terrorism in their cities as they have claimed, they would be moving towards addressing the real causes of this violence which has cost many innocent lives throughout the world. The Western governments arrogantly dismiss the voices of the thinkers and intellectuals from all political, religious and ethnic persuasions that echo the sentiments of ordinary citizens who directly attribute responsibility of this violence to the oppressive Western foreign policies in Islamic lands.
Within this context, the recent summit convened by Prime Minister John Howard with some leaders of Muslim organisations was a public relations smokescreen designed to rubber stamp the government’s proposals. It was used for no purpose other than to further a predetermined agenda and to sow the seeds of division within the Muslim community, the evidence of which is the intense attack on Islam and its values immediately proceeding the summit from some ministers, politicians, and the media in general.
In order to understand the true nature of this insidious campaign, its aims and how to confront it, we must proceed with a comprehensive awareness as to the nature and intensity of the struggle between the Islamic world and the Western world.
After a century or more of colonialist subjugation at the hands of Britain, France and then America, the Islamic world is currently in the midst of a historical re-alignment. Despite years of deception, exploitation and brutality, the Western world has realised their control and influence over the Islamic world is fast approaching its final days. The time is very near when the Muslim Ummah will free itself from the intellectual and political shackles that are otherwise weighing down this noble Ummah.
This is confirmed by the following:
· The Muslims, young and old, male and female, the laymen, the educated and the scholar, are returning to their Islam with increasing fervour, and are rushing towards the book of their Creator (swt) and the Sunnah of their Prophet (saw), and are holding tightly to their instructions.
· The Muslims in every instant, yearn for the day in which the flag of Islam is raised over them, and work tirelessly to unify their words and gather their ranks under the shade of Allah’s (swt) Shari’ah, thereby implementing Allah’s (swt) Deen and carrying the pure call of Islam to the world.
· The Muslims have unanimously rejected their evil and corrupt rulers that the West appointed over them, and they are looking forward to consigning them to the dustbins of history.
· The Muslims have awoken to the true ugly face of Western colonialism, and realise with full perception that the West is responsible for flooding their countries with blood, poverty, corruption and turmoil, after it divided its lands, impoverished its peoples and dishonoured its noble sons and daughters.
· The Muslims have heroically resisted the invasion and occupation of their lands, and at the hands of a few, inflicted the most humiliating lesson on supposed superpowers.
· The Muslims, despite all the treacheries and deceptions, continue to reject the state of Israel on the occupied lands of Palestine. They yearn for a day in which their armies are united under the banner of the Khilafah in order to liberate Jerusalem and all of Palestine.
When the West realised all of this and saw they were left with no alternate options, and feeling the intellectual defeat in front of the greatness of Islam, they began to frantically search for more ammunition that had not been previously employed in their war against Islam and Muslims. They then turned their attention to the Muslims living as citizens in their countries, and found that their numbers are continually on the rise. They realised the spectacular failure of social integration through which the West hoped to assimilate the Muslims in order for them to relinquish their values. They found that the generation of Muslim youth born and raised in their lands is proudly holding onto their deen and its values. Furthermore, they found that they failed in separating the Muslims in the West from their Ummah and her issues, and failed to sever their connections with her and their closeness with her hopes and concerns.
Indeed the West has realised in this situation a factor of strength for the whole Ummah. They decided to adopt a general strategy to rid the presence of Islam in the West. They started to pave the way by instilling fear and paranoia in the wider society, and by fuelling the hatred against Islam and Muslims in order to prepare the people to accept the inhumane measures and draconian legislations the West has aimed at the Muslims, even if it means abandoning their core values.
Through these measures, the West aim to present to the Muslims three options: 1. face deportation and/or expulsion; 2. adopt and embrace the Western values by abandoning the Islamic values; or 3. face persecution, hardship, and humiliation.
But it must be emphasised that the formation of these strategies is one matter, and its success and continuity is a wholly different matter. Ultimately all matters are in the hands of the All-Mighty Allah (swt) alone. The Muslims and the West belong to Allah (swt), and He does as He Wills.
O Muslims! In order to confront this campaign that seeks to eradicate our Islam, wipe away our identity and to sever us from our Ummah, we must strengthen our relationship with Allah (swt). We must commit our loyalty sincerely to Him (swt), the Messenger (saw) and the believers. We must stand proud of our faith and its values, and to stand in one row together, not falling into the traps of the invented labels of moderate and extreme - names which are foreign to Allah (swt) and His Deen.
O Muslims! You are descendents of the greatest ancestors. You descend from generations that brought light and justice that was previously unknown to mankind. Remain steadfast on your Islam, its Aqeedah, its rules, its thought and its behaviours. Fear none but Allah (swt). Pledge your obedience to Him (swt) and to the work that gives victory to His (swt) Deen. Ally yourselves with those who work day and night to confront this war against Islam and the believers, in order to attain true success.
O Muslims! Prepare for a new day and know that the Ummah is on the verge of a new dawn. Remember the glad tidings of the Messenger (saw) when he stated:
{تكون النبوة فيكم ماشاء الله أن تكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء أن يرفعها ثم تكون خلافة على منهاج النبوة فتكون ما شاء الله أن تكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء الله أن يرفعها ثمّ تكون ملكًا عاضًا فيكون ما شاء الله أن يكون ثم يرفعها الله إذا شاء أن يرفعها ثم تكون ملكًا جبريَّةً فتكون ما شاء الله أن تكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء أن يرفعها ثم تكون خلافةً على منهاج النبوَّة ثم سكت} رواه الإمام أ*مد
“The prophecy will remain among you for as long as Allah wills, then Allah will lift it when He wishes to, then it will be a Khilafah Rashida (rightly guided) on the method of the prophethood, it will remain for as long as Allah wills, then Allah will lift it if He wishes, then it will be a hereditary leadership which will remain for as long as Allah wills, then He will lift it if He wishes, then it will be a tyrannic rule, and it will remain so for as long as Allah wills, then He will lift it if He wishes, then it will be a Khilafah Rashida (established) on the method of the prophethood, then he kept silent” [Narrated via Ahmad]
Our hearts fill with tranquillity when we remember Allah (swt), perchance we may be counted in the ranks of those whom Allah (swt) said about them:
{الذين قال لهم النَّاسُ إن الناس قد جمعوا لكم فاخشوهم فزادهم إيمانًا وقالوا *َسبُنا اللهُ ونِعمَ الوكيل، فانقلبوا بنعمة من الله وفضلٍ لم يمسَسْهم سوءٌ واتبعوا رضوان اللهِ واللهُ ذو فضلٍ عظيم}
“People said to them: The people have gathered against you, therefore fear them. The threat of danger but increased their faith and they cried: Allah is sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we place our trust! So they returned with grace and favour from Allah, and no harm touched them. They followed the good pleasure of Allah, and Allah is of infinite bounty.”
Thereafter, their Lord addressed them:
{إنما ذلكم الشيطان يخوِّف أولياءَهُ فلا تخافوهم وخافونِ إن كنتم مؤمنين}
“It is only the Shaytan who would make men fear his supporters. Do not fear them; but fear Me, if you are true believers.” [TMQ Al-Imran: 173-175]
Let us remember the momentous stance taken by our beloved Prophet (saw) during Ta’if on the day when the near and far turned enemies against him, and the land became filled with difficulties, and he raised his hands to Allah (swt) and supplicated with immense faith in his Lord:
{اللهم إليك أشكو ضعف قوتي وقلة *يلتي وهواني على الناس، يا أر*م الرا*مين أنت رب المستضعفين وأنت ربي، إلى من تكلني، إلى بعيد يتجهمني، أم إلى عدوٍ ملّكته أمري، إن لم يكن بك عليَّ غضبٌ فلا أبالي، ولكن عافيتك هي أوسع لي. أعوذ بنور وجهك الذي أشرقت له الظلمات، وصل* عليه أمر الدنيا والآخرة، من أن تُنزل بي غضبك، أو ي*لَّ عليَّ سخطك، لك العتبى *تى ترضى، ولا *ول ولا قوة إلاّ بك}
“O Allah, to You I complain of my weakness, little resource, and loneliness before man. O Most Merciful, You are the Lord of the weak and You are my Lord. To whom would You confide in me? To one afar who will misuse me or to an enemy to whom You have given dominance over me? If You are not angry with me, I do not care about anything else. Your favour of well-being on me is sufficient for me. I take refuge in the light of Your countenance by which the darkness is illuminated, and the things of this world and the next are rightly ordered, lest Your anger descend upon me or Your wrath come down upon me. It is for You to be satisfied until You are well pleased. There is no power and no might except in You”
{والله غالب على أمره ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون}
“And Allah has full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.” [TMQ Yusuf: 21]
