His Eminence advised the Iraqi army not to continue committing such unacceptable deeds. It is obligatory on Iraqi soldiers as well as every Muslim not to violate the property, blood, honor, or family of one's Muslim brother. It is impermissible to transgress against any Muslim's property, honor, or blood whether in Kuwait or in any other country.
The Muslim is inviolable for his Muslim brother, as for his blood, wealth and honor.
The aggression committed by Iraq does not make it justifiable for the soldiers to commit aggression against Kuwaiti or any other people, usurp their money, harm them, kill them or their children, or assault their women. All such acts are Munkar (that which is unacceptable or disapproved of by Islamic law and Muslims of sound intellect), unlawful, and impermissible. It is obligatory upon them to fear Allah, be careful not to approach what Allah has made unlawful, and not to do any act that angers Allah (Exalted be He) and causes them to enter Hellfire and be banished from Allah's Mercy and Pleasure.
In his statement to AlJazeera TV channel, His Eminence advised the Kuwaiti brothers to seek help through patience and fearing Allah (Exalted be He), saying:
I advise the oppressed people of Kuwait to fear Allah, hold fast to His Din (Religion), repent to Him from their past sins, and to ask Allah to grant them victory over the enemy and return them to their country endowed with safety. Surely, Allah (Exalted be He) will recompense them with better than what has been taken from them.
When turning to Allah (Exalted be He) with sincere repentance, they will regain what they lost and Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) will give them something better than that taken, because Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says:
And all of you beg Allâh to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful
O you who believe! Turn to Allâh with sincere repentance!
We ask Allah (Exalted be He) to confer a favor upon us and them by guiding us to repentance. All of us are liable to be tempted. Every Muslim, everywhere, in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the Levant, the Yemen, or else where should call himself to account, struggle against his desires for the Sake of Allah, and be sure that what befell him would never have missed him and what missed him would never have befallen him.
Thus, our brothers in Kuwait, all Muslims in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and all Muslims everywhere should fear Allah, struggle against their desires for the Sake of Allah, and keep patient over the afflictions that befall them. They should also remain standing up for the truth and advise one another to it for Allah's Sake. May Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) remove corruption, guide the astray, recompense them with something better than what they lost, and grant them a good consequence.
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).
But if you remain patient and become AlMuttaqûn [the pious See V.2:2], not the least harm will their cunning do to you.
He who fears Allah, He will grant him success and recompense him with something better than what was taken from him. We ask Allah to endow us with comprehensive mercy encompassing all one's affairs religion, worldly affairs, and the Hereafter.
At the end of the statement of His Eminence, he said:
My speech is a general piece of advice to all Muslims to fear Allah, abide by the Shari`ah of Allah, reflect upon the Glorious Qur'an, observe the purified Sunnah, organize their deeds in light of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace be upon him), refer all their deeds, words, and disputes to the Qur'an and the Sunnah not to positive laws. All their affairs should be judged by the glorious Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and to
abide by this, whether individuals, groups, or nations. This is what is obligatory for Muslims to refer legislation to Allah's Shari`ah, remain standing up for the Din (Religion) of Allah, put Allah's orders into action, and give up what Allah forbade because Allah (Exalted be He) says:
O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord
O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam)
O mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him! Verily, the earthquake of the Hour (of Judgement) is a terrible thing.
Thus, all Muslims are commanded to fear Allah and observe His religion. Allah (Exalted be He) says:
O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allâh and His Messenger (ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ), he has indeed achieved a great achievement (i.e. he will be saved from the Hellfire and will be admitted to Paradise).
O you who believe! Fear Allâh and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow, and fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is AllAware of what you do. And be not like those who forgot Allâh (i.e. became disobedient to Allâh), and He caused them to forget their ownselves, (let them to forget to do righteous deeds). Those are the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise. It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful.
This is what all people are obliged to do: to fear Allah, worship Him alone, refer legislation to His Shari`ah, avoid His (may He be Praised) prohibitions, abide by His Limits, and recommend and advise one another to this because Allah (Exalted be He) says:
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.
