It IS Islam, Stupid!


      I selected from the Hamas Charter, three articles for your careful consideration.  Note the numerous iterations of Islam and Islamic.  Exactly how do HAMAS and ISLAM differ??

Article One:

The Islamic Resistance Movement: The Movement's programme is Islam. From it, it draws its ideas, ways of thinking and understanding of the universe, life and man. It resorts to it for judgement in all its conduct, and it is inspired by it for guidance of its steps.

The Islamic Resistance Movement's Relation With the Moslem Brotherhood Group:

Article Two:


The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of Moslem Brotherhood in Palestine. Moslem Brotherhood Movement is a universal organization which constitutes the largest Islamic movement in modern times. It is characterised by its deep understanding, accurate comprehension and its complete embrace of all Islamic concepts of all aspects of life, culture, creed, politics, economics, education, society, justice and judgement, the spreading of Islam, education, art, information, science of the occult and conversion to Islam. 

The Slogan of the Islamic Resistance Movement:

Article Eight:


Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes. 

  • HAMAS
    • Islamic /resistance Movement
    • one of the wings of Moslem Brotherhood
    • Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes. 

What is the difference between HAMAS    AND ISLAM? Who else has the Koran as their constitution? {hint:MBS}
     It ISIslam, Stupid!!! All the so called terrorist groups are only name games, aliases for Believers.

Why Peace Is Impossible: TERRORISM

 

Saturday, September 30, 2017

Why Peace Is Impossible: Terrorism


Terrorism

Sanctified

[Emphasis added.]
3:151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allâh, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong­doers).

Commanded

8:12. (Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes."

8:57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
So if you gain the mastery over them in war), if you defeat them and have victory over them in war,
(then disperse those who are behind them,) by severely punishing ﴿the captured people﴾ according to Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Ad-Dahhak, As-Suddi, `Ata' Al-Khurasani and Ibn `Uyaynah. This Ayah commands punishing them harshly and inflicting casualties on them. This way, other enemies, Arabs and non-Arabs, will be afraid and take a lesson from their end, (so that they may learn a lesson. ) As-Suddi commented, "They might be careful not to break treaties, so that they do not meet the same end.'' So if you gain the mastery over them in war), if you defeat them and have victory over them in war, (then disperse those who are behind them,) by severely punishing ﴿the captured people﴾ according to Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Ad-Dahhak, As-Suddi, `Ata' Al-Khurasani and Ibn `Uyaynah. This Ayah commands punishing them harshly and inflicting casualties on them. This way, other enemies, Arabs and non-Arabs, will be afraid and take a lesson from their end, (so that they may learn a lesson. ) As-Suddi commented, "They might be careful not to break treaties, so that they do not meet the same end.''

8:60. And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war (tanks, planes, missiles, artillery, etc.) to threaten the enemy of Allâh and your enemy, and others besides whom, you may not know but whom Allâh does know. And whatever you shall spend in the Cause of Allâh shall be repaid unto you, and you shall not be treated unjustly.

Ibn Kathir :  to threaten), or to strike fear

    At first glance, 8.57 & 60 may appear innocent. Muslims are commanded to give harsh treatment to defeated victims to tach a lesson to those behind them.  That means terrify those they intend to attack next.  Ibn Kathir adds "will be afraid.

    Muslims are commanded to maximize military power  to threaten intended victims. Ibn Kathir adds "to strike fear". That is a clue for you.  Ibn Ishaq, Moe's biographer, has another clue for you found on page 326 of Guillaume's The Life Of Muhammad.
326                             The Life of Muhammad
Then God mentions the unbelievers and what they will meet when they die, and describes them, and tells His prophet about them until He says: 'If you come upon them in war, deal with them so forcibly as to terrify those who follow them, haply they may take warning/ i.e. make a severe example of them to those that come after, that haply  they may understand. 'And prepare what strength you can against them, and cavalry by which. you may strike terror into the enemy of God and your enemy' as far as His words, 'And whatever you spend in the way of God will be repaid to you: you will not be wronged,' i.e. you will not lose your reward with God in the next life and a rapid recompense in this world.
 

Terrorism Rewarded

    Allah  awards Brownie Points for acts of terrorism intended to injure or enrage us.  On Judgment Day, the Muslim will stand before Allah, who will weigh his sins against his righteous good deeds. The swing of the balance will decide his  eternal destiny.
Acts  to instill terror are credited to the terrorist as righteous good deeds.
9:120. It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allâh's Messenger (Muhammad  when fighting in Allâh's Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allâh, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allâh wastes not the reward of the Muhsinûn

Tafsir Ibn Kathir
nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers), by strategies of war that would terrify their enemy (nor inflict), a defeat on the enemy,

Terrorism practiced

    Allah cast terror and Moe was made victorious with terror! Note the allusion to 8.57 in the last sentence of 59.2.!
33:26. And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allâh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.

59:2. He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Banî An-Nadîr) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allâh! But Allâh's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:
 Narrated Abu Huraira:

    Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).


Islamic Law

    Turn back to 8.6o  and take note of the phrase "including steeds of war". Islamic law has another clue for you.  Hedaya, the fiqh of the Hanafi madhab,  tells us  the purpose  keeping steeds of war.  It's terror, Stupid!  On  pages 175 & 176 of the second volume, there is a discussion of allocation of  shares of plunder. The horseman gets a share for his horse, it makes no difference how many horses he has or what breed, Persian or Arabian.  The text is barely legible and ocr fails. I highlighted the pertinent sections.
Hedaya 2.175

Now read the last paragraph on page 176 for another clue. The act of setting out on a ghazwa inflicts terror on the infidels!
Hedaya 2.176

    Every Muslim must be an object of fear to infidels because he  is likely to attack them.  Hedaya  spills the beans in a discussion of which Muslims are authorized to issue writs of protection.  Once again, I have highlighted pertinent parts.

Hedaya 2.157

Strategy

    "The Quranic Concept Of War" a strategy manual used by the army of Pakistan, describes terror on page 59.
Terror struck into the hearts of the enemies is not only a means, it is the end in itself.  Once a condition of terror into the opponent's heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be achieved.  It is the point where the means and the end meet and merge; it is the decision we wish to impose upon him.

Who will get a clue? Read the highlighted  clauses over and over until reality sinks in.

 

Why Peace Is Impossible: Jihad

Why Peace Is Impossible: Allah's Imperatives: Jihad

The Series:


Why Peace Is Impossible: Allah's Imperatives

    Allah's commandments are contained in 'clear verses', exemplified in authentic ahadith, explained in exegesis and codified in shari'ah.   Jihad & terrorism are the result of Believers obeying Allah and emulating Moe. [Emphasis added.]

Jihad: 

Ordained For Muslims

2:216. Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.

Fight Them Until

Resistance ceases

2.193, 8.39

Only Allah Is Worshiped

   2.193, 8.39

subjugation & Extortion

9.29

2:193. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allâh) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allâh (Alone). But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zâlimûn (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)

8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.
9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

9:123. O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allâh is with those who are the Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2).

    Computer programmers will recognize those as do ...until... loops. The verb is fight, the subjects are  Quraysh, Quraysh and "People of the Book", respectively. The  compound terminal conditions are h2 headers above these three verses.  The links  between headers go to the Hilali/Khan translation for context. The links in the verse numbers go to Islam Awakened for 50 parallel translations.

    Note that Jihad is not defined in the Qur'an. Recall the  verse of ordinance: 2:216. Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause)
The parenthetical expression was inserted by the translators for clarity. Take a close look at the Arabic word  translated as Jihad.
(2:216:3)
l-qitālu
[the] fighting


Click it and examine the dictionary & concordance; mote the numerous variants! The translators defined Jihad in their footnote to 2.190.
(V. 2:190) Al-Jihad (holy fighting) in Allah's Cause (with full force of numbers
and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars (on
which it stands). By Jihad Islam is established, Allah's Word is made superior, (His
Word being La ilaha illallah which means none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah), and His Religion (Islam) is propagated. By abandoning Jihad (may Allah
protect us from that) Islam is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior
position; their honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish.
Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape
from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this duty, dies with
one of the qualities of a hypocrite.
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud I asked Allah's Messenger
" O Allah's Messenger! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the Salit
(prayers) at their early fixed stated times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He
replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, "What is next in
goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause." I did not ask
Allah's Messenger anymore and if I had asked him more, he would
have told me more. (Sahih Al-Bukhiri, Vol.4, Hadith No.41).

Note the cost / benefit analysis in the footnote:
  • establishment
  • supremacy
  • propagation
    • .destruction
    • inferiority
    • dishonor
    • loss of rule & authority
    • hypocrisy
Of course, Jihad is not officially recognized as one of the five pillars of Islam, but Moe declared it to be Islam's highest peak.  I quote out of context from Sunan Ibn Majah, volume 5, page 193.
Then he
said: 'Shall I not tell you of the
head of the matter, and its pilar
and pinnacle? (It is) Jihad'

    What makes a Jihad holy?  I have not found an explicit answer, but intention plays an important role.  Holy war is undertaken for Allah's good pleasure, to earn his approbation, not for fame, reputation or fortune.
Sunan Abu DawudBook 14, Number 2513:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:

Apostle of Allah, tell me about jihad and fighting. He replied: Abdullah ibn Amr, if you fight with endurance seeking from Allah your reward, Allah will resurrect you showing endurance and seeking your reward from Him, but, if you fight for vain show seeking to acquire much, Allah will resurrect you making a vain show and seeking to acquire much. In whatever you fight or are killed, Abdullah ibn Amr, in that state Allah will resurrect you.

[No reward for the one seeking worldly advantage: Book 14, Number 2510]


    Moe told us what would profane a holy war in  Sahih Muslim  19.4294:
  • Holy war
    • fear Allah
    • be good to the Muslims with you
    • fight
      • in the name of Allah
      • in the way of Allah
      • against disbelievers
    • make a holy war.
  • Profanations
    • embezzle spoils
    • flee the battle
    • mutilate bodies
    • kill children.

Jihad An-Nafs

    But Jihad is struggle, extreme striving against the rigors of life; ego & temptation. Yeah, right. Search the six canonical hadith collections, each one has a 'book'  of Jihad. Sahih Bukhari adds 'books' of Khumus & Expedition. Show me one hadith therein  pertaining to Jihad An-Nafs!

Exemptions

    Moe exempted the blind and lame from Jihad.

4:95. Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame, etc.), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with their wealth and their lives. Allâh has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit (at home). Unto each, Allâh has promised good (Paradise), but Allâh has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward;

Must a Muslim go out from his home to do Jihad An-Nafs?  Would he risk his life & wealth in the  struggle?

Legal definition

    The legal definition of Jihad is found in  Reliance Of The Traveller, Book o, Chapter 9.0 from which I quote.
Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion.

Obligation

    Offensive Jihad is a communal obligation, fard al-Kifaya which binds the entire Ummah until a sufficient number have  responded.  Refer to Reliance, o9.1 and suffer confusion. "The Book Of Jihad", page 19  is clear and includes a straight forward quote of the infamous fatwa of Imam Al-Shafi'i.

Defensive

    Camel feces!  Will you spend three days proselytizing  an attacking enemy force before defending yourself? I quote from Reliance o9.8
The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya, def: o11.4) -which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself-

Confirmation

    Moe is on record confirming the orders to fight.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."

Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2635
    Narrated Anas ibn Malik:

    The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: I am commanded to fight with men till they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Apostle, face our qiblah (direction of prayer), eat what we slaughter, and pray like us. When they do that, their life and property are unlawful for us except what is due to them. They will have the same rights as the Muslims have, and have the same responsibilities as the Muslims have.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 196:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah 's Apostle said, " I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' his life and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his accounts will be with Allah, (either to punish him or to forgive him.)"

Poleaxe Muslims With These Fatal Facts!!

 

Muhammad faked his 'revelations', we know because his favorite child bride finked on him: "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires." Volume 6, Book 60, Number 311 Muhammad was demon possessed but the demon only gave him good orders!! Sahih Muslim, English Only. Bk 39, Number 6757: Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There is none amongst you with whom is not an attache from amongst the jinn (devil). They (the Companions) said: Allah's Messenger, with you too? Thereupon he said: Yes, but Allah helps me against him and so I am safe from his hand and he does not command me but for good. Bk 39, Number 6759: A'isha the wife of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), reported that one day Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came out of her (apartment) during the night and she felt jealous. Then he came and he saw me (in what agitated state of mind) I was. He said: A'isha, what has happened to you? Do you feel jealous? Thereupon she said: How can it he (that a woman like me) should not feel jealous in regard to a husband like you. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: It was your devil who had come to you, and she said: Allah's Mes− senger, is there along with me a devil? He said: Yes. I said: Is devil attached to everyone? He said: Yes. I (Aisha) again said: Allah's Messenger, is it with you also? He said: Yes, but my Lord has helped me against him and as such I am ab solutely safe from his mischief.

Jihad: Who, What And Why From Original Sources


Reading translations of authentic Islamic texts is the best way to learn about Islam.  In this educational essay I present the uls  of the texts I mention.   You can select them, right click and select search or copy them and paste them into your browser. The books are in archive.org, the internet archive.

Is Jihad fard kifaya or fard ayn?  Does it obligate the community or the individual?  I direct your attention to the terrorist recruiting manual "The Book Of Jihad.   I have opened it to you, to page 17, which includes the infamous fatwa of Imam Al-shafi'i.  Read it for your first clue.  Then turn the page to the table of contents and read it for a cost/benefit analysis of jihad.
https://archive.org/details/the-book-of-jihad-by-ibn-nuhass_202106/page/18/mode/1up?view=theater

     Sheikh Azzam  addresses the issue in a different way, I want you to read page 14  of "Defense Of Muslim Lands" . Note the purpose of the annual attacks.
https://archive.org/details/Defense_of_the_Muslim_Lands/page/n13/mode/1up?view=theater

    Now it is time to turn to shari'ah; what does Islamic law say about it?  What is the obligation of jihad?  To whom does it apply>  What does the caliph do and why?  I open Reliance Of The Traveller  for your edification. Read, learn and obtain vital clues.
https://archive.org/details/relianceofthetravellertheclassicmanualofislamicsacredlaw/page/n615/mode/1up?view=theater&q=jihad

     That is the fiqh of the Shafi'i school, the most popular  but there are others,.  I now open for your edification,  volume 2 of Hedaya, the fiqh of the Hanafi school.  Ir reveals crucial facts about jihad and jizya.  Unfortunately, the book was drenched, there is some smudging and bleed through but the information it holds is vital.

Yes, I know it is not easy reading, but do it! Page s 140-145 are absolutely vital! Pages 212...218  reveal crucial details about jizya and the real objective of jihad.
https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.221893/page/n148/mode/1up?view=theater

     Risala is the fiqh of the Maliki school of Islamic law, read what it says about jihad and learn.
https://archive.org/details/TheRisala/page/n282/mode/1up?view=theater&q=jihad

     Hilali & Khan used Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation and three tafsirs in writing their Noble Qur'an.  I want you to read Surah Al-Baqarah 2:190 ...  and the translator's footnote at the bottom of the page,.  The streaming text  app. has a search feature  accessed by the large bold Q in the left sidebar. Search results are displayed in the left sidebar  and marked with blue chunks under the page indicator.  I want you to search independently for these words: fight, terror and Jew.

https://archive.org/details/the-noble-quran-muhsin-khan-and-taqi-ud-din-al-hilali/page/n72/mode/1up?view=theater

    There are things that Muslims do not want you to know about.  The English Only Edition of Sahih Bukhari  was expurgated, it is the basis of all online hadith databases  including the one at quranx.com  and the one at sunnah.com  where you will find only the Arabic script with no translation.   What is it they do not want us to know?  I have opened the book for you to the page where you can read "What is said regarding spears.  Muhammad said that his livelihood was placed under the shade of his spear.   When you read the saying and the footnote at the bottom of page 108 you will recognize that the words came from an arrogant and evil man.
https://archive.org/details/SahihAlBukhariVol.4Ahadith27383648/page/n108/mode/1up?view=theater

    Now turn back to the beginning of the Book Of Jihad in this volume and read it all.  Continue by reading the Book Of Khumus which alludes to Surah Al-Anfal 8:41

    To verify my truthfulness, go to quranx.com, click the search tab and enter  "My livelihood is under the shade of my spear" You will only find it in Ibn Kathir's tafsir 'The Benefits Of Iron" You will not find it in Sahih Bukhari.  Go ahead, try it at sunnah.com too.

Jihad in Fiqh What, Why And How Often?

 
    I quote from page 909 of Provisions Of The Afterlife"  to which I added  bold font emphasis.
One may ask: what is the finest livelihood?
The response: three views have been adopted in this regard:
1. The finest livelihood is trade.
2. The finest livelihood is manual labor with the exception of lowly
trades such as cupping.
3. The finest livelihood is agriculture.
Although all of these views are plausible, the finest livelihood is the
livelihood which sustained the messenger of Allaah (may Allaah send
salutations upon h im ), i. e. jihaad. In fact, this livelihood has received more
praise in the Qur’aan than any other livelihood. For this reason, the prophet
(may Allaah send salutations upon him) was chosen for jihaad, and he has
said: (I have been sent with the sword as the final hour approaches. I have
been sent so that only Allaah may be worshipped and my sustenance has
been placed beneath my spear, and those who oppose me are disgraced).
Since this sustenance is obtained by overpowering the enemy, no livelihood
is finer than jihaad, and Allaah knows best.



    I quote from Sunan Abu Dawud to which I added bold font emphasis:

"
Book 23, Number 3455:

    Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

    I heard the Apostle of Allah, (peace_be_upon_him) say: When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.

    Take a esson from Islamic law, the code of the Shafi'i school: Reliance Of The Traveller to which I added bold font emphasis.
'o9.1: The Obligatory Character of Jihad

Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2).  When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others (O: the evidence for which is the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace),

"He who provides the equipment for a soldier in jihad has himself performed jihad,"

and Allah Most High having said:

"Those of the believers who are unhurt but sit behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah's path with their property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to each, Allah has promised great good" (Koran 4:95).

If none of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there was a possibility of having performed it. In the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims.


The first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad (def: o9.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is speaking of when he says, "Jihad is a communal obligation," meaning upon the Muslims each year.'

Chapter  25.9 lists  8 duties of subordinate rulers, I quote the eighth.

''-8- and if the area has a border adjacent to enemy lands, an eighth duty arises, namely to undertake jihad against enemies, dividing the spoils of battle among combatants, and setting aside fifth (def: o10.3) for deserving recipients."

o9.8 tells what the caliph does and why he does it. I have added bold font emphasis, read it and weep.

"O9.8: The Objectives of Jihad

The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya, def: o11.4) -which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself-while remaining in their ancestral religions) (O: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax (O: in accordance with the word of Allah Most High,

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden-who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book-until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled" (Koran 9.29),"

    Now observe how jurists interpret that: I quote the infamous fatwa of Imam Al-Shafi'i  as recounted on page 17 of "The Book Of Jihad"  to which I added bold font emphasis.

"“The minimum participation in Jihad is once a year, and more is always
better. It is not allowed to have a year pass you by without any fighting
except out of necessity like the weakness of Muslims and the great numbers
of the enemy, or fear of extermination if you attack them first, or lack of
provisions, or similar excuses. Otherwise, if there is no necessity it is not
allowed to delay attacking the non-believers for more than a year.” Imam
Shafi’i states that."


    Can you guess what Al-Ghazali said ?
"One must go on jihad (i.e. warlike razzias or raids) at least once a year […] one may use a catapult against them [non-Muslims] when they are in a fortress, even if among them are women and children."

International Day To Combat Islamophobia

 March 15, 2023 was declared by the United Nations, please participate by becoming an IslamoRealist!

https://archive.org/details/noble-quran-english-translation-by-muhammad-muhsin-khan-and-muhammad-taqi-ud-din-al-hilali

If you do not read it, you will be an Islamophobe, not an IslamoRealist.  To delve deeper into the Qur'an, two resources are essential:  

https://corpus.quran.com/wordbyword.jsp  Corpus Quran has a word by word translation with each Arabic word linked to a dictionary and concordance. 

https://quranx.com/1.1 is an Islamic site with multiple resources including  Qur'an, hadith and tafsirs.The search  tab lets you search all the resources at once or a select collection of resources. The translation of Sahih Bukhari is expurgated, Tafsir Ibn Kathir is not. 

    Sahih Bukhai is considered to be the most authentic and authoritative collection of Muhamad's extra-Quranic sayings and doings. It is divided into nine volumes, volume 4 contains two must read books: "The Book Of Jihad"  and "The Book Of Khumus". Those two books tell us what Islam is all about. The "Book Of Expedition"  in volume 5 should be read along with them. Page 108 of vol. 4 reveals how Muhammad mde his liveing: "war booty"  After reading it,, go to quranx.com and search for "what is said regarding spears", you will not find it because that database is derived from the expurgated English only edition.  Search for it at sunnah.com and you will find only the Arabic with no translation. Now go to quranx.com and search for "The Benefits Of Iron",  you will find the quote in Tafsir Ibn kathir.  Muslims do not want us to know how Muhammad made his living.  By God, I will tell you of resources others will not reveal. Zad Al-Ma'ad includes a discussion of the worst and best occupations for Muslims. The best is Jihad because that was how Muhammad made his living!  Read the third point in the enumerated list here: https://archive.org/details/ProvisionsOfTheAfterlife/page/909/mode/1up?q=cupping
