Q 1: Could you kindly give a final word about the obligation of Jihad (striving in the Cause of Allah)?
A: The Afghan Jihad is a legitimate Jihad for a Muslim country against a nonMuslim country. It is obligatory to support it and help those in charge with all kinds of support. It is an individual obligation on our Afghan Muslim brothers to defend their religion, people and country while it is a collective obligation on other Muslims, because of Allah's Saying: March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and poor), and strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allâh. This is better for you, if you but knew. Allah (Glorified be He) also says: O you who believe! Do your duty to Allâh and fear Him. And seek the means of approach to Him, and strive hard in His Cause (as much as you can), so that you may be successful.
There are numerous Ayahs to this effect applying to all the Muslim Mujahideen in in the Cause of Allah in the world; in Afghanistan, Palestine, Philippines and other countries.
It is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he said: Use your property, your persons and your tongues in striving against the Mushriks (ones who associate others with Allah in His Divinity or worship).
We ask Allah (Exalted be He) to provide the Muslim brothers who fight for His sake in Afghanistan and other places
great victory, help them against the enemies of Allah, make their hearts and feet firm and unite their word on the truth. We ask Him to disgrace the enemies of Allah (Exalted be He) wherever they are and to turn matters upsidedown against them, for He is the One who is Able to do that.
