-Caveat Lector- [This article was published in the 11th issue of Nida'ul Islam magazine (http://www.islam.org.au) January - Februaryl 1996] The religious position with respect to Israel, and the accord with the Jews The Ummah is unanimous about the illegality of reconciliation with the Jews who have usurped the land of Palestine. The trusted scholars have also decreed that whoever sells his land to the Jews or whoever accepts reconciliation with them knowing the harm of this to the Muslims is an apostate who has rejected Islam. The illegality of the sale of the land to the Jews After the fall of the 'Uthmany Caliphate, the scholars of Palestine realised the size and danger of the plot which had been weaved, and the designs of the Jews to their land. So they gathered on 26 January 1935 in the Alaqsa mosque in the holy land and issued a Fatwa, the most important part of which states: "further, we the issuers of the Fatwa... after research and looking into what would arise from the sale of the land in Palestine to the Jews, with looking into the intents of the Zionists to Turn this holy Muslim land into Jewish land, taking it from the hands of its inhabitants and keeping them away from it... "After looking at the fatwas which have been issued by the Muslim scholars in Iraq, Egypt, India, Morocco, Syria, Palestine, and other Muslim countries, which have unanimously agreed to the illegality of the sale of Palestinian land to the Jews, as well as broking or facilitating in any way or mean the sale of any land to the Jews, and the illegality of accepting this and keeping quiet over it. Further, all this has become with respect to each Palestinian knowing of the result and accepting it an act of apostasy and rejection of Islam..." Then the scholars mentioned the various corruptions which arise from the sale of land to the Jews with respect to the expulsion of Muslims from their homes and the stopping the mention of The Name of Allah in His mosques, and befriending the Jews and supporting them against the Muslims and the betrayal of Allah and His Messenger. "So let it be known from all that we have put forward of reasons results, statements, rulings, and fatwas that the one who sells his land in Palestine to the Jews, whether directly or through an agent, and the agent in this sale and the one who facilitates it and the one who assists in it in any manner knowing of the aforementioned results, each of those is not to be prayed over nor buried in the Muslim graves. They must also be ostracised and boycotted, as well as degrading them and abstaining from compassion towards them or coming near them whether they are fathers, children, brothers, or spouses.. Further, silence with respect to the deeds of these, and acquiescing to them is strictly forbidden.." This accord was signed by two hundred and forty nine (249) scholars overall. It is a Fatwa declaring illegal to forego any part of Palestine. [pp 30-35 Jamiat Alislah ed. Kuwait, and pp 5-11 Maarkaz Ali'lam Al'araby ed.] On 29 November 1947 the scholars of Alazhar issued a call after the resolution of the United Nations to divide Palestine into two countries, a Jewish and a Palestinian. This call included: "The resolution of the United Nations is a resolution from a body without authority. It is an oppressive, and transgressing resolution which has no justice or equity." Then the Muslim scholars called for Jihad to liberate Palestine: "Block their path, and sit for them in every vantage point, boycott them with respect to their trade and do not deal with them, and prepare the requisites of Jihad amongst yourselves.. Fulfill what Allah has required of you..." [Ibid pp 12 - 15] The illegality of a truce with the Jews Then occurred the various treasons by the puppet Arabic governments which pursued the Mujahideen groups and stopped them from fighting against the Jews, and the country of Israel was established on the land of Palestine. Then in 1956 a committee of the scholars of Alazhar issued a Fatwa forbidding a truce with the new Jewish government which declared the truce with Israel - and those who incite to it - "to be not permitted by law because of what it contains of acquiescing to the transgressor and allowing him to continue to usurp and entrench itself in the land.. So it is not permitted for the Muslims to reconcile with these Jews who have usurped the land of Palestine and transgressed against its people and their wealth in any manner whatsoever which will allow the Jews to remain on these holy Islamic lands as a nation. In fact, it is required of them to cooperate together with their varied tongues and colours and ethnicity to return this country to its people, and to protect the Alaqsa mosque... and to exert all they can to cleanse the land of the country from any trace of these transgressors. Whoever falls short in this or neglects it or discourages the Muslims from it or calls to whatever leads to the dispersion of the word and Muslims, and assists the colonialists and Zionists to fulfill their plans against the Arabs and the Muslims and against the Arabic and Islamic country is - according to the law of Islam - one who left the Muslims and committed the gravest of sins." [ibid pp 22 to 32] Palestine, an Islamic land The Imam of Alazhar Hasan Ma`moun issued the following Fatwa: "Palestine is a land liberated by the Muslims who have lived therein for a long time, so it has become a part of the Islamic countries, most of its inhabitants are Muslims, there resides amongst them a minority of other religions, so it is a Muslim country wherein Muslim law applies". . . and added "The attack of the enemy against a Muslim country is not accepted under Islamic law regardless of its reasons and motives. The land of Islam must remain in the hand of its people... What is required of the Muslims in the situation of transgression against any Islamic country - and there is no distinction amongst Muslims - is Jihad against the enemy with force, and this is an individual obligation upon all its people. . . so when all the Muslim countries are regarded as a home for every Muslim, the duty of Jihad forms an obligation upon its people first, and upon other Muslims who live in other countries second." [ibid pp 35 to 36] Jihad: the Path to Liberation The most recent Fatwa which has issued in this matter is the one which had been signed by sixty three scholars and thinkers from eighteen countries, this is some of what came in it: "We declare with what Allah has taken upon us of oath to reveal the truth that Jihad is the only path to liberate Palestine, and that it is not permitted in any situation to acknowledge one hand span of Palestinian land for the Jews. It does not fall on any person or group to acknowledge a right for the Jews to Palestine or to forego to them any part thereof or thereto. Such an acknowledgment would be treason to Allah and the messenger and the trust which all Muslims have been trusted to guard, Allah says: "O those who have believed, do not betray Allah and the messenger, and do not betray your trusts whilst you are knowing." What treason is bigger than the sale of the sanctities of the Muslims and the forfeiture of the Muslim countries to the enemies of Allah and His messenger and the believers? We stress that Palestine is Muslim land and will remain so and it will be liberated by the champions of Islam from the filth of the Jews as it had been liberated by Salahuddin from the filth of the crusaders, and you will hear of this after some time.." [ibid pp 51 & 52] >From the aforementioned, it becomes clear to us without doubt or argument, that truce with the country of Israel is a matter which is not permitted by law regardless of what the claimants and the whisperers claim and whisper. Jihad with iron and fire is the only way to reclaim Palestine from the hands of the Jews and to return it to the rule of Islam. Whoever amongst the Muslims permits a truth with the Jews, and acquiesces to the establishment of their country knowing of the illegality of this will be regarded as an apostate, and shall be treated as such.
