Q 3: The enemies of Islam are keen on penetrating Muslim countries by every possible means. What is the effort you see necessary to face the attempts that threaten the Islamic countries?
A: This is expected from the callers to Christianity, Judaism, or other ideologies that spread Kufr (disbelief) and destruction. Allah (Glorified be He) has informed us of this
Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, the Guidance of Allâh (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism) that is the (only) Guidance. And if you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ) were to follow their (Jews and Christians) desires after what you have received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur'ân), then you would have against Allâh neither any Walî (protector or guardian) nor any helper.
And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion (Islâmic Monotheism) if they can.
Thus, they do their best to gain influence in the Muslim countries. They have their ways such as creating skepticism and sowing doubts. They constantly do this, motivated and encouraged by the church, envy, and hatred. We must raise awareness among the Muslims through their leaders and scholars, and resist the efforts exerted by the enemies of Islam with counter efforts. The Islamic Ummah (community) bears the responsibility of preserving the Amanah (trust) of Islam and conveying it. If we provide the Muslim children with knowledge and faith, and accustom them to practice it from childhood, we will not be worry about them as long as they remain on Allah's path, glorify it, follow its teachings and oppose what contradicts it. On the contrary, their enemies will fear them, as Allah (Glorified be He) states, O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allâh, He will help you, and make your foothold firm. He (Glorified and Exalted be He) also states, But if you remain patient and become AlMuttaqûn [the pious See V.2:2], not the least harm will their cunning do to you. Surely, Allâh surrounds all that they do. There are many Ayahs (Qur'anic verses) that stress this meaning. The most important factor that enables us to oppose such attempts is producing a generation that understands the truth of Islam, which is accomplished through guidance and care at home and school through the mass media and social development. In addition, the Islamic leaders should assume their role in guidance and care,
by edifying work and constantly reminding the people of what benefits them and instills the `Aqidah (belief) in their souls. Allah states, verily, in the remembrance of Allâh do hearts find rest. There is no doubt that carelessness is one of the reasons behind the penetration of enemies into the Muslim countries through culture and sciences that gradually draw Muslims away from their beliefs. Thus, evil spreads among them and they are affected by the concepts of their enemies. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) has asked the believing party to be patient and fight in His Cause with every possible means in His statement, O you who believe! Endure and be more patient (than your enemy), and guard your territory by stationing army units permanently at the places from where the enemy can attack you, and fear Allâh, so that you may be successful. He (Glorified be He) also states, As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our Paths (i.e. Allâh's religion Islâmic Monotheism). And verily, Allâh is with the Muhsinûn (good doers)." I ask Allah with His Most Beautiful Names and Attributes to rectify the affairs of the Muslims, grant them deep understanding of Islam, make all their leaders agree upon AlHaqq (the Truth), and guide their consultants. He is the Most Generous. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
