All praise be to Allah, the Lord of existence, and peace and blessings be upon the most honorable Messenger, our Prophet Muhammad, and his family and all his Companions! This is a general advice to the leaders of the Islamic countries and all Muslims:
Allah's Wisdom dictates that He test His Servants with good and evil, health and illness, poverty and affluence, strength and weakness, to see how they will behave. Will they obey Him in prosperity and adversity, fulfilling the Rights owed to Him at all times and under all circumstances? Allah (Exalted be He) says: and We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good. And to Us you will be returned. And He (Glorified and Exalted be He) says: AlifLâmMîm. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân, and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings.] Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested. And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allâh will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allâh knows all that before putting them to test).
must exist among Muslims.
The scholars (may Allah be Merciful to them) are of the opinion that
if a Muslim woman in the West suffered an injustice, it becomes obligatory on the Muslims in the East to help her. So how much more should be done in relation to killings, expulsions, oppression, transgressions, and detentions committed against many hundreds of Muslims, while their fellowMuslims do not move or support them, except those whom Allah wills? It is obligatory on the rich and wealthy Islamic countries and individuals to look with compassion and mercy on their oppressed Muslim brothers. They can help them through the trustworthy ambassadors of the Islamic countries or the delegations that should be sent from time to time representing the Islamic nations to inspect the Muslims' conditions in these Islamic countries or the Muslim minorities in the nonMuslim countries. The Christian, Jewish, and communist nations and other nonMuslim nations protect the rights of all those who are associated with them, even if they are settled in other countries far away. They sometimes send protests and threats if any of them are harmed, even if they were causing problems in the country they had settled. So how can Muslims be silent about the genocide that is being committed against their Muslim brothers and all the other types of torment and torture they are suffering in many places in this world these days? All the people and nations that do not move to support their brothers in Islam must bear in mind that they may also be stricken with the same afflictions that they hear about or see cutting the veins of these Muslims, and they shall find no one to support them then or help remove the oppression and torment they are under. It is Allah Whose Help is sought and the One Able to awaken the Servants' hearts to act according His Ordinances and guide Muslim rulers and all other Muslim people to be one hand, one firmly built structure, to carry out the Commands of Allah, act upon His Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger, support the Muslims, and fight
the oppressive transgressors, acting in accordance with Allah's Words: Verily, Allâh will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, Allâh is AllStrong, AllMighty.
Those (Muslim rulers) who, if We give them power in the land, (they) enjoin Iqamat a sSalât [i.e. to perform the five compulsory congregational Salât (prayers) (the males in mosques)], to pay the Zakât and they enjoin A lM a' rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm orders one to do), and forbid AlMunkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism and all that Islâm has forbidden) [i.e. they make the Qur'ân as the law of their country in all the spheres of life]. And with Allâh rests the end of (all) matters (of creatures). And His saying, Help you one another in AlBirr and AtTaqwâ (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment. And He (Glorified and Exalted be He) also says: By Al'Asr (the time).
Except those who believe (in Islâmic Monotheism)
and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth [i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al M a' ruf) which Allâh has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (AlMunkar which Allâh has forbidden], and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allâh's Cause during preaching His religion of Islâmic Monotheism or Jihâd). Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, his Companions, and those who follow him in truth.
