The Holy Men Of Jihad
12-03-2009
The asceticism of my Ummah is Jihad… There is no solitude as secluded as the
monk. He cries in himself, only himself and Him, pouring out his heart. Weeping
and feeling ashamed. What’s in the mind of monk is all his sins. No, not rewards
and merits. Not fame and popularity. Not loud noises and feelings of pride.
The higher the asceticism of a person, the finer his heart is and the quicker
the flow of his tears will be.
Not a wisp of scream from his brothers in iman, no matter how far, even from the
end of the other side of the earth, except that he will hear that scream. It
will be piercing, scorching and buzzing in his inner ears. The monk then knows
that he must be changing his monastery tomorrow.
Tomorrow’s monastery would be the battle horses and swords. His humility will be
present the moments the irons are clanging up against each other. The monk
knows, he understands, he comprehends, that he, either reluctantly or not, must
come down to the arena of Qitaal, no more hermitage. He must make his horse’s
feet trample in the arena of defensive or aggressive jihad. He is powerless the
moment his soul is ‘struck’ by Allah:
Why don’t you want to fight in the way of Allah and protect the weak from
amongst the male or female, as well as the children who all pray:
"And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and
of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?- Men, women, and
children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are
oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us
from thee one who will help!"" (Qur’an 4:75)
Ruhbanullail fursaanun nahaar, “monk by night, warrior by day”. Weeping in the
stillness, fearless in the battle field.
The monk understands, that his body and soul do not belong to him, because he
had pressed the ‘Go’ sign, and there is an acquittance in his spiritual
inscription which was carved firmly, so firmly, decisively and very clearly:
“Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons
and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight
in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through
the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant
than Allah. then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the
achievement supreme.” (Qur’an 9:111)
In every strand of his body hair, the monk immersed himself in the saying of his
Prophet SAW… he would never forget the message from his beloved, the Qudwah
(Role Model), the Uswah (Goodly Example), the true warrior with the finest
heart:
“Verily in every ummah, there is an asceticism, and the asceticism in this ummah
(Islam) is Al-Jihaadu fii sabiilillaah.” (Al-Masyaari’, 2/166).
In the Christian kafir creed, the monks seclude themselves from the worldly
activities, whereas there is no seclusion and uzlah (withdrawal) that is greater
than someone who drains all his energy for Jihad in the way of Allah, and then
he is killed as Shaheed.
The Christian kafir monks undergo asceticism so that they do not hurt any human
being. They are scared, scared of hurting other human beings. Whereas, there is
no hurtful measure that is more malignant than the actions of letting the
perpetrators of evil to remain in their evilness, because it can cause them to
be thrown into hell. On the other hand, if the asceticism is intended for
rejecting evil and preventing human beings from being hurt, then indeed the
jihad conducted by the Mujahideen in the form of rejecting pain, wickedness and
oppression caused by the kafir towards Islam and the Muslims, is the grandest
form of asceticism! Doesn’t Allah SWT mention about the obligation of the
Muslims in rejecting the wickedness of the kafir towards the Muslim?
“…And did not Allah check one set of people by means of
another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief: But Allah is full of bounty
to all the worlds.” (Qur’an 2:251)
It is with the Shari’at of Jihad that Allah protects the Muslims, in which by it
the Mujahideen become true monks… Thereby, the 11th September 2001 had passed
by, the genuine monks had flipped their wings. Those holy wings had spread out,
raised high and echoed protections to strike terror into the hearts of the
enemies of Allah!
Then, the twin bells belonging to the fake monks collapsed, the two satanic
horns of the World Trade Center were broken. The young monks had divorced this
world, when the other youngsters are sinking in the world Friendster and Yahoo
Messenger. The moments when other human beings are selling out their iman for
the sake of this world, carrying with them sheets of university degrees and
curriculum vitae for the sake of dedicating themselves to satan, except for a
few on whom Allah has mercies, the young monks thus tore apart the sheets
containing the false values, as false as the deceptions of the world, and they
proposed an application towards Him, the owner of the houris. The jihad monks
then died Shaheed, insha Allah.
‘Alaika bil jihad, fa innahu ruhbaaniyatu ummatie…
“Therefore you must conduct jihad, verily jihad is the asceticism of my ummah”
(Al-Masyaari’, 2/164)
