When the Commander of the army in the Battle of Yarmook wrote to Ameer al-Mu`mineen, 'Umar bin al-Khattab he said: "We are facing a people who are like sand [in numbers], so equip us with strength and supply us with men."
'Umar, radiallahu 'anhu wrote back to him saying: "In the name of Allah, the Benevolent, the Merciful. From the slave of Allah, 'Umar bin al-Khattaab to the commander of the army, so-and-so, son of so-and-so, to proceed: Know that you do not fight your enemy by your strength or numbers, rather you fight them with your righteous actions, so if you rectify them (your actions) you win and if you corrupt them (your actions) you lose. So be on guard from your bad deeds, as you are on guard from your enemy" The examples to support this view are many in history. One example is the battle of Yarmook, when the enemy surpassed the Muslims by number and preparation. One narration states that the Romans were 120,000 in number, equipped with the latest weaponry of the time, including catapults, flame throwers and such, and the Muslims were only 12,000 in number, equipped with simple weaponry like swords and arrows. Despite this, the Muslims were still victorious upon their enemy due to the strength of their morale, the basis of which was their belief in Allah and reliance upon Him. This is the true, correct understanding of terrorism, but the enemies of Allah, His Messenger and Religion from amongst the envious Crusaders, and Zionists understand terrorism in another light. To those misguided disbelievers, terrorism is Islam and Jihad: The “terrorists” are the Mujahid Muslims. For this reason, the disbelievers gathered from all over the earth to fight the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan under the pretext of fighting terrorism, despite the fact that there is no evidence that linked the Islamic Emirate or Osama bin Laden with what happened in America. The Crusaders and Zionists know with certainty that what happened in New York and Washington occurred at the hands of radical Zionists or Christian movements, but because they saw an Islamic awakening in Afghanistan and they were fearful of the implementation of the Sharee'ah, in that Emirate. They feared that this could spread to the surrounding nations and so they went forth with this terror campaign in which they used all sorts of internationally prohibited weaponry such as cluster bombs, bunker busters and others, killing thousands of civilian men, women and children. is that many of the rulers of the Arabs and Muslims and some of the scholars of Islam sided with the disbelievers. They supported the war against the Muslims in Afghanistan without having any evidence that linked what happened in America to the Taliban government and without knowing the meaning of terrorism as defined by America and its friends in disbelief. For those of you who have taken the time to read what I have written on this issue, you might assume that the sole aim of the Crusaders in their campaign against the Afghan is to crush Islam and Jihad only. While this is the chief aim, the reality is that the Crusaders have other goals in this campaign also. One is to exercise control over the nuclear reactors in that area, like those in Pakistan, because the possession of nuclear weapons by Muslims is regarded as a great threat to the Judeo-Christian Zionist interests. It wasn't long ago that the Zionists destroyed the nuclear reactors in Iraq, and they are making present attempts to harm the nuclear reactors in Pakistan through a conspiracy. Another goal is control of the oil fields in Central Asia in an effort to seek further control of this world. If this were not the case, then the whole world is filled with organised terrorist movements in South America, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, North of America, Europe, Spain, Italy and Russia. Why did they not launch campaigns and declare their war on those countries in which these criminal terrorist movements exist? And if this is a war against terrorism, then the state-sponsored terrorism perpetrated by the Zionists in Palestine, the Americans in Afghanistan, the Serbians in Bosnia and Kosovo are true examples of the reality of terrorism. I ask Allah to grant success to all the Muslims, to abide by the Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger, sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam, and to ward the Muslims away from disobeying the teachings of the pure Sharee'ah. And may Allah send His peace and blessings upon Muhammed, his family and his companions. --------------------------------- Looking for earth-friendly autos?
