Praise be to Allah, Alone. May peace and blessings be upon the last Prophet Muhammad ibn Abdullah, his family, and Companions!
The grace, which Allah (Exalted be He) has bestowed upon Muslims fighting in His Cause by liberating Kuwait from the tyrant, aggressors and extorters, is one of the greatest bounties of Allah (Glorified be He) upon the people of Kuwait and other Muslims supporting the Truth and Justice. Therefore, all Muslims in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the Gulf countries and others should thank Allah (Exalted be He) for this, abide by His Din (religion of Islam) and beware of the reasons that stir His Anger for the bounty which Allah (Glorified be He) has bestowed upon them by gaining victory over the aggressors, supporting the aggrieved and answering the Du`a' (supplication) of Muslims.
(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): "I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession." Allâh made it only as glad tidings, and that your hearts be at rest therewith. And there is no victory except from Allâh. Verily, Allâh is AllMighty, AllWise.
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 IqamatasSalât [i.e. to perform the five compulsory congregational Salât (prayers) (the males in mosques)], to pay the Zakât and they enjoin AlMa'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).
O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allâh, He will help you, and make your foothold firm.
Allâh has promised those among you who believe and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the land, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islâm). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieves after this, they are the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).
There are many Ayahs that stress this meaning and they all indicate the necessity of resorting to Allah (Glorified be He) in all matters, seeking His Help and Support Alone, abiding by His Din and being aware of the reasons that may bring His Wrath (Glorified be He). They indicate that He (Glorified and Exalted be He) is the Only One Who grants victory rather than any one else.
And there is no victory except from Allâh.
If Allâh helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allâh (Alone) let believers put their trust.
How often a small group overcame a mighty host by Allâh's Leave? And Allâh is with AsSâbirûn (the patient).
And make ready against them all you can of power
O you who believe! Take your precautions
Allah (Glorified be He) has rendered victory contingent on a great reason which is supporting His Din by establishing Salah (prayer), paying Zakah (obligatory charity), enjoining good and forbidding evil, as well as adhering to Iman (faith/belief) and pious deeds.
Accordingly, all Muslims in Kuwait and other countries should take and abide by these means. They should also advise one another wherever they are, for taking and abiding by the means is one of the most important reasons for attaining victory in the worldly life, achieving security, a comfortable life, happiness in the worldly life and the Hereafter, attaining Jannah (paradise), retrieving their pride and achieving a good end in all matters, as clarified by Allah (Glorified be He) in the previous noble Ayah of Surah AlNur
O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a trade that will save you from a painful torment? That you believe in Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with your wealth and your lives: that will be better for you, if you but know! (If you do so) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwellings in 'Adn (Eden) Paradise; that is indeed the great success.
And also (He will give you) another (blessing) which you love, help from Allâh (against your enemies) and a near victory. And give glad tidings (O Muhammad ﺻـﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ) to the believers.
In these noble Ayahs, Allah (Glorified be He) has clarified that believing in Him and His Messenger (peace be upon him), which includes fulfilling acts of obedience that Allah (Exalted be He) has obligated and abandoning the sins that He has prohibited along with striving in His Cause that is a branch of Iman (Faith/belief), are reasons for forgiving all the sins and attaining Jannah and all its delights. They are also reasons for acquiring near victory.
The people of Islam should take these means, recommend them to one another, and abide by them wherever they are, for they are the source of their esteem, victory, and security in the worldly life and their happiness in the Hereafter.
By A l' Asr (the time). Verily, man is in loss, 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 (AlMa'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).
The origin of Iman lies in the observance of Tawhid (belief in the Oneness of Allah/ monotheism) of Allah, being sincerely devoted to Him, and avoiding associating others in worship with Him.
And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him.
So worship Allâh (Alone) by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allâh's sake only. Surely the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allâh only.
And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allâh, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform AsSalât (IqâmatasSalât) and give Zakât, and that is the right religion.
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent Mu`adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) to the people of Yemen, he (peace be upon him) commanded him to ask them to observe Tawhid to Allah, to be devoted to Him, and to believe in His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him), then he commanded them to establish Salah, and pay Zakah. This is because these are the three major fundamentals of Din. Thus, whoever abides by and fulfills them will consequently abide by other issues in the Din, such as Sawm (fasting), Hajj, and the rest of that which Allah (Exalted be He) and His Messenger (peace be upon him) have commanded. They will also abandon all that which Allah (Exalted be He) and His Messenger (peace be upon him) have prohibited.
One of the most important branches of Iman and realization of the testimony that there is no deity but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; is to rule among Allah's servants according to His Shari`ah (Islamic law).
And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ) the Book (this Qur'ân) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Muhaymin (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over it (old Scriptures). So judge among them by what Allâh has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you.
And so judge (you O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ) among them by what Allâh has revealed and follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they turn you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) far away from some of that which Allâh has sent down to you.
Do they then seek the judgement of (the days of) Ignorance? And who is better in judgement than Allâh for a people who have firm Faith.
And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed, such are the Kâfirûn (i.e. disbelievers of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allâh's Laws). And whosoever does not judge by that which Allâh has revealed, such are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers of a lesser degree). And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed (then) such (people) are the Fâsiqûn [the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree) to Allâh].
But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission.
So, Allah (Glorified be He) has clarified in these noble Ayahs that it is obligatory for the Messenger (peace be upon him) and all the Ummah (nation) whenever and wherever they are to make Allah's Shari`ah govern all the disputes between them regarding all their religious and worldly affairs. He (Glorified be He) has warned against following one's own desires and obeying the enemies of Allah (Exalted be He) in ruling against His Shari`ah. He (Glorified be He) has also mentioned that His ruling is the best, and that all rulings that contradict His are of Jahiliyyah (preIslamic time of Ignorance). He (Glorified be He) has mentioned that ruling by what He has not revealed is Kufr (disbelief), Zhulm (injustice), and Fisq (flagrant violation of Islamic law), declaring that whoever does not make the Messenger (peace be upon him) judge in all his affairs, be inclined to this, and accept this with full submission will have no Iman. Hence, it is the duty of all Muslim rulers to abide by Allah's Ruling (Glorified be He), rule His servants according to His Shari`ah, and find in themselves no resistance to that. They should beware of following their desires that contradict His Shari`ah, or obeying anyone who calls to rule by any law or regulation opposing what is established by Allah's Book or the Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet) of His Messenger (peace be upon him). Allah (Glorified be He) stresses that Iman can only be attained to the people of Islam in this way.
