and his accusation of the rulers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia of fighting these imported ideologies and ideas such as Socialism. He also claimed that they only call for Islamic Alliances under the pretense of protecting Muslims from the danger of these imported ideas and so on. In response to this, I say: These imported ideologies and ideas include the truth and falsehood at the same time. It is not permissible for Muslims to accept them blindly or totally reject them. Rather, this matter should be elaborated so that what benefits Muslims and complies with Allah's Shari`ah (Islamic law) should be accepted and utilized. Islam is the Perfect Din of Allah that calls to what is good and upright. On the other hand, it prohibits whatever harms Muslims and spoils their community. Also, this Din has ordained its followers to abide by that which benefits them, seek Allah's Help in that, prepare against their enemies all the power they can, beware of them,
and cooperate in righteousness and Taqwa (fearing Allah as He should be feared). They must hold fast together to the Rope of Allah (i.e. this Qur'an) and not be divided among themselves. Along with this, Allah (Glorified be He) has warned them against following the evil desires of their enemies clarifying that such enemies can avail them nothing against Him. It is an eminent truth that the wholesome concepts and ideologies have been originally brought forth by Islam, they are not imported from them; rather, it is Islam that has precedence over them in that, even if this is not known to its followers. The enemies simply get these ideologies that are consistent with the Shari`ah, spread them among people and give them a false impression that they are their originators and callers. However, the fact is that Islam has the upper hand over them since it has guided them (i.e., the enemies of Islam) to the origins and fruits of that. Nevertheless, they attributed them to themselves and denied ascribing the right to the legal owners out of ignorance or grudge. When the Saudi government combats Socialism or other destructive ideologies, it does not do so because they are imported but because they are atheist systems that disagree with the Shari`ah, reject the Divine Codes, oppose Allah (Glorified be He), and deny His Existence. Aside from this, it prohibits what He has enjoined as lawful and permits what He has prescribed as forbidden. Even if some of those ideologists cover themselves for certain reasons, the matter is still clear in their books which reveal their call, through their leader (Marx), the atheist Jew who declared it openly and invited to it, but the fact is that he is just as Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says:
Verily, it is not the eyes that grow blind, but it is the hearts which are in the breasts that grow blind.
The Saudi government has imported many other useful things and does not fight them when finding them useful. Regarding the writer's claim that the rulers of Saudi Arabia only called for Islamic Alliance under the pretense of fending off the danger of the imported ideas, it can be refuted by clarifying that they have not called for an Islamic Alliance, rather, Islamic solidarity,
cooperation, and support which Allah and His Messenger ordained us to pledge. Again, Allah has commanded Muslims to abide by Allah's Rope and be not scattered and to help one another in virtuousness and Taqwa and stand together as a solid structure against their enemies. They should also fight any idea or conviction that contradicts with their Din. This, however, cannot be deemed as an alliance, it is something more supreme, for it is a sanctified duty and a foreordained obligation on all Muslim Kings, leaders, and scholars. They must abide by Allah's Din, protect and call to it, and be joined together in confronting their enemies and thwarting their plots and conspiracies in accordance to Allah's Saying (Glorified and Exalted be He):
You [true believers in Islâmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) and his Sunnah] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin AlMa'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained) and forbid AlMunkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islâm has forbidden), and you believe in Allâh.
Truly! This, your Ummah [Shari'ah or religion (Islâmic Monotheism)] is one religion, and I am your Lord, therefore worship Me (Alone). [Tafsîr Ibn Kathîr]
And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allâh (i.e. this Qur'ân), and be not divided among yourselves
Allah is pleased with three things you do: that you worship Him and associate not anything with Him, that you hold fast to the rope of Allah, and be not scattered, and that you give advice to the one to whom Allah gives command over you
Related by Imam Malik in "AlMuwwatta'" and Imam Ahmad in his Musnad with a Sahih (authentic) Isnad (chain of narrators). It was also related by Imam Muslim in his Sahih book of Hadithwithout the Prophet's saying (peace be upon him)":
A Mu'min (believer) to another Mu'min is like a building, parts of which support other parts." And he (peace be upon him) intertwined his fingers
Agreed upon by AlBukhari and Muslim.
The likeness of Mu'minin (believers) in their mutual love, mercy, and compassion is that of one body: when any part complains (be in pain), the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever
Agreed upon by AlBukhari and Muslim.There are many Ayahs and Hadith mentioned to that effect. When his majesty, King Faysal the sovereign of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia may Allah grant him success called for the Islamic solidarity and the unification of Muslims together in the face of the pending dangers, he has fulfilled a great duty and a respectable praiseworthy pursuit. All Muslim leaders, scholars, and persons of distinction should support him in that and join their efforts with him to make the Word of Allah prevalent, grant victory to His Din, rule according to His Shari`ah besides purifying the `Aqidah (creed) of
people from destructive ideologies, deviant ideas, and false conventions. All of them must set up their efforts and render their forces ready to this imminent danger. They ought to be fully equipped, have a significant political, economic and industrial weight among the international community, as well as mastering the elements that empower them and enable them to withstand the danger in keeping with the instructions of their Din and the guidance of the Qur'an.
O you who believe! Take your precautions
And make ready against them all you can of power
Verily, strength is in archery. Verily, strength is in archery
A strong Mu'min is better and is more beloved to Allah than a weak Mu'min, yet, both are good. Persist in doing that which benefits you, seek the Support of Allah and do not feel helpless... Related by Muslim in his Sahih.
I ask Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) to grant all
Muslim kings, presidents, leaders, scholars, and others success in leading this Ummah (nation of creed) to right, safety, and happiness in this worldly life and in the Hereafter. I also implore Him to gather them to guidance, give them a good understanding of His Din, and fortify everyone against the evils of their souls, their misdeeds and the plots of their enemies. He is All-Able to do anything.
May peace be upon Allah's Servant and Messenger, our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
