The Interim before the Wars
It is quite possible that we may have
to wait for a few years before Israel`s great wars against the Arabs begin. In
the interim it is certain that Dajjal the false Messiah will work overtime to exploit the new
opportunities created by the uprisings to try to demolish whatever now remains
of Islam in the lives of the Arab masses. One can just imagine how the new freedom
can soon become a secular freedom in which all would be permissible. Not only would ‘women dress and yet be naked’ but eventually the ‘day would mate with the day’ and the ‘night would mate with the night’.
The result would be the complete seduction of the cities of the Arab
world into the godless global society.
There is also the distinct possibility
of Islamic political parties assuming power in government and then losing credibility
when they fail to bring relief to the miserably poor masses because of an
incapacity to respond to the awesome challenge of Riba. One need not even
mention the immense difficulties that would attend any effort to restore the universal
Islamic Khilafah.
What should Muslims do at this time?
Firstly, Muslims must never give up the
just struggle for liberation from oppression. This can best be maintained if
they keep the right company. Surah al-Kahf of the blessed Qur’an has advised that
they must search for and keep the company of those who are true servants of
Allah Most High:
‘And keep yourself patient [by being] with
those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His
countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the
worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our
remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in]
neglect.’
Qur’an, al-Kahf, 18:28
Surah al-Kahf also advises withdrawal from the godless society. This can perhaps be best achieved through residence in small Muslim Villages in the countryside rather than the cities of the modern world. Such villages can have village markets which use Dinars and Dirhams as money for buying and selling.
We should in addition recite Surah al-Kahf on every day of Jumu’ah without fail and also regularly recite
the Masnoon Duah for protection from Dajjal’s Fitnah.
We intend to write in greater detail Insha Allah, at a later time.
