NOTES TYPED LIVE BY umm_khaalid
EDITED AND FORMATTED BY AT38
This
will be a political speech.
It will
be an update on the political situation and the current events on the ground.
This is
my field as a student of international politics.
You
cannot fully understand the dawlah with Quran and Sunnah.
You also
need knowledge of the political situation
In order
to have a just opinion of the dawlah.
Many so
called scholars who pass fatawa on the dawla have little knowledge of the dawla
For
example they say the dawlah was founded without any shura.
So what about
the shura council in 2006?
13
groups in Iraq came together and formed the Islamic state in Iraq.
The main
point of my speech is the situation of the dawlah since the coalition campaign.
There
are some very historical things going on.
I'm
going to look at the positive and negative effects of the international
campaign.
THE
NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE DAWLAH
1. THE
CONTAINMENT OF THE DAWLAH
This is
especially in Kurdish cities.
It has
lost some territories it conquered in the Summer.
They
were 23 miles away from Erbil.
Once the
bombing started, it slowed down their momentum.
A bigger
example of this is the battle for Kobane.
The battle
is raging between dawlah and the Kurdish militias.
The
fighting is ongoing in Kobane
It's a
stalemate as it has been on for a few months
Much of
the manpower of dawlah was lost it Kobane.
A
question raised was whether it was worth it.
2.
SOCIAL MEDIA POWER HAS BEEN LIMITED
There's
been a campaign to delete any account sympathetic to the dawlah.
3. THE
INCREASE IN THE SUFFERING OF MUSLIMS
The
bombing is causing causalities among civilians.
Many
innocent Muslims are dying.
Iraq and
Syria are being bombed by the Shia and the rest of the world.
Many
Muslims are being injured and killed because of this.
4. THE
TARGETTING OF THE DAWLAH LEADERS
Whoever
has done research about the dawlah,
Knows that
the leaders are very important.
The
leaders are very competent, know how to run a government and know war
strategies.
Some
were former leaders in the Baathist governments.
They reverted
back to Ahlu Sunnah
They
have back up leaders that are just as competent.
But
still this is a significant setback.
THE POSITIVE
EFFECTS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE DAWLAH
1. THE
HUGE COST PAID BY THE WEST TO FIGHT THE DAWLAH
There
was a November report in the Atlantic stating
The US
government spends $8 million a day to fight the dawlah.
Or $300
000 an hour
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/12/24/372168736/u-s-strikes-have-killed-1-100-isis-fighters-and-cost-1-billion
This is
a huge amount of money they are pouring into this fight.
Indeed,
those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of
Allah. So they will spend it; then it will be for them a [source of] regret;
then they will be overcome. And those who have disbelieved - unto Hell they
will be gathered. (Al-Anfal 8:36)
Basically
Allah is saying, when the disbelievers pour their money to fight Muslims
It will
backfire.
2.
PROPAGANDA WIN
Many
people were saying dawlah will crumble after the coalition starts their
campaign.
This was
their prediction.
The
dawlah is being bombed yet it is still expanding.
A report
says the dawlah has made gains since the coalition campaign.
A German
journalist who entered the dawlah
With a
covenant of security said a lot of interesting things.
He said
the dawlah is the largest fighting force in the Middle East.
"I
have to admit that these people are strong" - Jürgen Todeshofer
He seems
sincere in what he said.
He is
saying that people in the west have no idea about the strength of the dawlah.
They're
not a bunch of little rebels.
3.
EXPOSING OF HYPOCRISY
The
international campaign has exposed a lot of hypocrisy.
The West
said they won't intervene in Syria.
They
changed their mind “to protect the Yazidis” and to bomb Sunnis.
For the
west to intervene to save the Yazidis and then to bomb the sunnis,
I cannot
see a day where they will win the hearts and minds in that region.
They can
say how much they want democracy and freedom
But no
one is going to believe them.
The
Americans have taken Assad's side.
The Arab
regimes have been exposed too.
Many
Muslims will be wondering why the west didn't bomb Assad or Maliki.
The eighth
negation of Islam is allying with the kuffar.
The Arab
regimes are guilty of this.
4. SYMPATHY
OF RECRUITING ALLIES
The
dawlah has won the battle for hearts and minds on the ground.
There is
no sign that the population want to rise against them
Because they
feel a sense of security there.
They
have recruited 6,000 more soldiers in a month
From all
over the world including the locals.
At this
rate, the dawlah will surpass the US army in a few years.
Rare
access to ISIS territory in Syria and Iraq: http://amanpour.blogs.cnn.com/2014/12/22/exclusive-rare-access-to-isis-territory-in-syria-and-iraq/
A
civilian in Ghouta said all the brigades will be with IS as soon as they come
to Ghouta.
5.
EXPANSION INTO AREAS OUTSIDE OF IRAQ AND SYRIA
a) An
expansion in Libya
A whole
city has come under their control.
ISIS Takes
Control of a Libyan City http://time.com/3593885/isis-libya-iraq-syria-terrorism-derna/
b) An
expansion in Egypt
It was
in the province of Sinai.
They
continuously fight the Egyptian army there.
Egyptians
from all walks of life are joining their brothers in the Sinai province.
Sinai
Insurgency Shows Signs of Spreading after ISIS-Linked http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/nov/10/egyptian-jihadists-pledge-allegiance-isis
There
has also been bay'ah from Yemen and Algeria
But there's
no evidence to say they control a sizeable amount of territory.
CONCLUSION
The West
can't face the facts.
They can
never defeat the dawlah without understanding their enemy.
They
think they can win just by using bombs.
This is
having a counterproductive effect.
As long
as the tawagheet rule over the Muslim world,
The west
won't be able to defeat them.
The
dawlah thrives on this.
The
dawlah is more of an ideology.
They
love the dawlah when they see the oppression of the tawagheet.
In a
council meeting, John Kelly said the war with IS will last decades.
And that
no one in that room will survive to witness that.
Question 1:
salaam bother. May Allah reward you. Is it possible for you to make these
conferences regular to update the Muslims ummah as to what is happening on the
ground in the Islamic state?
Answer
1: If this is something that many people request, I might consider it.
Question 2:
If the Islamic State grows strong and big enough that the US and other super
powers will have to recognise it as a state, where does that leave IS? Form coalitions
and ties with other countries? Will that not cause a split within IS?
Answer
2: I doubt that there will be a split within it.
They are
so ideologically intact.
If they
are recognised by the West, there could be a temporary truce with the West.
As you
all know the malhama will begin with a truce between the Muslims and the
Romans.
Temporary
truce with the kuffar is permissible depending on the circumstances.
Question 3:
Did Boko Haram give bayah?
Answer
3: Boko Haram, from what I have seen, the leader didn't actually say "I
give bay'ah..."
It's
possible he did it in private.
But he
did call Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi the caliph
So it
implies he gave bay'ah.
It's not
clear whether the bay'ah was accepted.
Question 4:
Is it true that the mujahideen or others cannot leave dawlah?
Answer
4: Personally from what I've read this is propaganda.
It is
possible for people to leave the dawlah.
Why do
you think the western governments are making such a fuss about returnees?
Question 5:
Why do jabhat an nusra call Islamic state khawarij ?
Answer 5:
It's not just jabhat an-nusra that call dawlah khawarij.
People
from all over the world call them khawarij.
Knowing
the traits of the khawarij,
I
haven't seen no sufficient evidence to say that they are khawarij.
Khawarij
is a term that can be thrown round to insult enemies.
People
are called khawarij all the time as an insult.
Question 6:
How easy is it to live in Dawlah as in the protection?
Answer
6: If what you mean by protection is stability and safety,
There is
some sort of safety and stability.
People
are not being robbed in the streets in front of everybody.
Because
there are stricter punishments.
But
obviously there is a bombing campaign against them.
It is
safe relative to other places in Syria and Iraq.
Question 7:
Can the leader of muslims go in hiding?
Answer
7: This has to do with the ahkaam of politics in Islam.
In my
personal opinion as a layman, this has to be revisited
Because
we have technology today to target people.
It's not
the same as 500 years ago or at the time of the Prophet (saw)
For the
caliphate to function, he can't be walking around waiting for people to bomb
him.
For the
leader of a state to remain safe, he can't remain in the public all the time.
He can't
be a ghost figure either.
Obviously
we don't know when the Mahdi will arrive.
This is
only the knowledge of Allah SWT
There's
an interesting hadith saying there will be 12 khulafa from Quraish.
People
are saying Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi (HA) is the seventh or eighth.
Imam al
Mahdi is a belief of Ahlus Sunnah
I don't
see why any Sunni wouldn't.
Prophet
(SAW) said: Islam will continue to be dominant until there have been twelve
Khulafa, all of them will be from the Quraish. [Sahih Muslim, Book 020, Number
#4480]
Question 8:
Assalamu alaikum, which professions and work skills are required in the dawlah
mostly.
Answer
8: A state needs everything.
There
isn't a specific requirement.
A state
is a state.
If
someone moves to Germany with any skill, it will go towards the progress of
that society.
States
strive on having people of different backgrounds.
Question 9:
As salamu'alaikum akhi, what’s the proof that dawlah used to execute Abdur
Rahman Kassig? Because from my knowledge, Islam erases everything before it, as
is seen in the seerah of Rasulallah (saw). Jazakallahu khairan.
Answer
9: This is a debate amongst the Muslims.
One
thing is for sure, the dawlah does use their proof for this act
Whether
you agree or disagree with this.
The
proof that they use is the hadith of the Prophet (SAWS).
A man
was captured due to the crime of his allies
In the
hadith the man says ‘I have become Muslim’.
The
Prophet replied ‘had you been master of yourself, it would have been good for
you’.
It's
very easy for you to be a captive and say whatever your captives want you to
say.
According
to some of the media, all the captives of dawlah took their shahada in
captivity.
So there
is a question on the sincerity of the shahada taken in captivity.
In the
hadith after the man was free, the man took his shahada
And the
Prophet accepted it from him.
The
dawlah will tell you they judge by what is apparent.
Question
10: Is it permissible for a sister, whose Wali is restricted to leave a European
country to make hijrah alone to the dawlah?
Answer
10: I have absolutely no idea because I have not studied the ahkam of hijrah.
This
question should go to the shuyookh.
This is
not something I have studied in depth.
