Dancing With Guns & Swords
‘It shows that we are brave’: Dancer
Why Not Use That Bravery To
Liberate Palestine , Iraq
To Fight Tumult?
Allah Commands Us To Fight
Oppression
(M. Javed Naseem)
وَمَا لَكُمْ لاَ
تُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ
مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ
وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْوِلْدَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ
رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا
مِنْ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا
وَٱجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِن
لَّدُنْكَ وَلِيّاً وَٱجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنْكَ نَصِيراً
“And why should you not fight in the cause of
“And why should you not fight in the cause of
Allah and of those who, being weak, are
ill-treated
(and oppressed)?- men, women, and
children,
whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us
from this
town, whose people are oppressors; and
raise
for us from you the one who will protect;
and
raise for us from you the one who will
help!"
(al-Quran 4:75)
Allah has asked
us why shouldn’t we fight in HIS cause and help the oppressed? We don’t give
any direct answer to that, but we keep ourselves busy with worldly ‘fun’ and
pleasure. And that constitutes a very sad answer. Here’s an example from the
history of a true Muslim who missed a chance to fight in the cause of Allah but
when he got the second chance, he sacrificed his life with pride:
Narrated
Anas:
“My uncle Anas bin An-Nadr was absent from the Battle of
Badr. He said, "O Allah's Apostle! I was absent from the first battle you
fought against the pagans. (By Allah) if Allah gives me a chance to fight the
pagans, no doubt, Allah will see how (bravely) I will fight." On the day
of Uhud when the Muslims turned their backs and fled, he said, "O Allah! I
apologize to You for what these (i.e. his companions) have done, and I denounce
what these (i.e. the pagans) have done." Then he advanced and Sad bin
Muadh met him. He said "O Sad bin Muadh! By the Lord of An-Nadr, Paradise ! I am smelling its aroma coming from before (the
mountain of) Uhud," Later on Sad said, "O Allah's Apostle! I cannot
achieve or do what he (i.e. Anas bin An-Nadr) did. We found more than eighty
wounds by swords and arrows on his body. We found him dead and his body was
mutilated so badly that none except his sister could recognize him by his
fingers." We used to think that the following Verse was revealed concerning
him and other men of his sort:”
مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
رِجَالٌ صَدَقُواْ مَا عَاهَدُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ
فَمِنْهُمْ مَّن
قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُواْ تَبْدِيلاً
"Among the believers
are men who have
been true to their
covenant with Allah..."
(al-Quran 33.23)
(Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 52, No. 61)
Yes, that’s the level of commitment and loyalty to Allah!
More than 80 wounds on the body and he sacrificed his life in Allah’s way! Now,
that’s brave. Dancing with guns and swords alone can never achieve that!
Now, watch the
following video and see how today’s Muslims are dancing with guns and swords to
impress women! They cannot use these guns/swords to help their brethren who are
being massacred in Palestine , Syria , Iraq
and Afghanistan
Video link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwqvKa9dAQQ
(Al-Mazyood Band:
3ayesh Gawwy)
Did you watch the
above-mentioned video? Nice. In the UAE and other Arab countries they love to
dance with guns, swords and sticks. The Khaleeji TV channels always play such
videos with pride. In this video, when a lady asked the dancers:
“What are you
doing? Why are you dancing with guns”?
The man in-charge
of the dancing group (or music band) replies: “This is our tradition to show
that we are brave.”
Excuse me! Brave?
I would consider you brave when you use the same guns and swords to liberate
your Palestinian brethren from the Zionists’ oppression. The Muslims are being
massacred in Palestine , Syria , Iraq ,
Afghanistan , Kashmir and other countries and you are showing the women
by dancing with guns/swords that you are brave? What good is this bravery? Do
you know really how to use these guns? How, when and where? You can’t even
defend yourselves. You have given America/Britain/Europe the military bases on
your territory to protect you and your fragile governments. And, in addition to
that, you are paying them with petro-dollars as bonus. That’s brave!
When I first visited
Dubai
But Allah did not
mention that in the ‘Arabic Quran’ that Jannah (Paradise )
was for the Arabs only! And the ‘Arab Prophet’ (Muhammad, s.a.w.) declared in
front of more than 100,000 people during his last Hajj sermon that no Arab had
any preference over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab had any preference over an Arab.
The same goes for the Black and White people. The only preference was based on
‘piety’ or ‘righteousness’ (in Arabic: Taqwa). Do you know what Taqwa is?
Here’s what Allah says in the Quran:
لَّيْسَ ٱلْبِرَّ أَن
تُوَلُّواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ
ٱلْبِرَّ مَنْ آمَنَ
بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلآخِرِ وَٱلْمَلاۤئِكَةِ وَٱلْكِتَابِ وَٱلنَّبِيِّينَ
وَآتَى ٱلْمَالَ
عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ ذَوِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَامَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَاكِينَ
وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ
وَٱلسَّآئِلِينَ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلاةَ وَآتَى ٱلزَّكَاةَ
وَٱلْمُوفُونَ
بِعَهْدِهِمْ إِذَا عَاهَدُواْ وَٱلصَّابِرِينَ فِى ٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وٱلضَّرَّاءِ
وَحِينَ ٱلْبَأْسِ
أُولَـٰئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُوآ وَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ
“It is not righteousness that you turn your faces
“It is not righteousness that you turn your faces
towards East or West; but the
righteousness is
to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and
the Angels,
and the Books, and the Messengers; to
spend of your
substance, out of love for Him, for your
kin, for
orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer,
for those
who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to
be steadfast
in prayer, and practice regular charity;
to fulfill the
contracts which you have made; and to be
firm and
patient, in pain (or suffering) and
adversity, and
throughout all periods of panic. Such are
the people
of truth, the Allah-fearing (the
righteous).”
(al-Quran 2:177)
Allah declared in
the Quran that all mankind (of believers) is one ‘nation’ or ‘Ummah’. Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w.) said that the whole Ummah is like one body; if one part of
the body is hurt or aching, the whole body should feel the pain. How many of us
feel the pain for the innocent Muslims (children, women, elderly and others)
being massacred in Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Libya and other countries?
Narrated
Abu Musa:
“The Prophet said, "A believer to another believer is
like a building whose different parts enforce each other." The Prophet
then clasped his hands with the fingers interlaced (while saying that).”
(Bukhari, Vol. 3,
Book 43, No. 626)
We should prove
to be brave by standing up for the down-trodden, by helping the victims of
oppression, aggression and slaughter-campaign. But we don’t, because we are
busy dancing with guns and swords to impress women and claim that we are brave.
Are we, really?
Do we know and
understand what Allah says?
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ
يُحِبُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِهِ صَفّاً كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَانٌ
مَّرْصُوصٌ
“Truly Allah loves those who fight in His cause in
“Truly Allah loves those who fight in His cause in
battle array, as if they were a solid
cemented structure.”
(al-Quran
61:4)
We claim to have
knowledge of the Arabic language. Do we understand the messages of the Quran?
Do we understand the meaning of ‘Jihad’, the purpose of it, the time for it,
and our obligation to it? That’s the right and proper platform to prove
ourselves brave. Allah declares in the Holy Quran:
كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ
ٱلْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُواْ
شَيْئاً وَهُوَ
خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّواْ شَيْئاً وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ
وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ
وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ
“Fighting is prescribed for you, and you dislike it.
“Fighting is prescribed for you, and you dislike it.
But it is possible that you dislike a
thing which is
good for you, and that you love a thing
which is
bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know
not.”
(al-Quran 2:216)
وَقَاتِلُواْ فِى
سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَٱعْلَمُوۤاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
“Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know
“Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know
that Allah hears and knows all things.”
(al-Quran 2:244)
Now, what part of
the above Quranic verses do we not understand? It’s a simple, clear and
straight-forward command without any complication.
Narrated
Ibn Abbas:
“Allah's Apostle said, "There is no Hijra (i.e.
migration) (from Mecca to Medina )
after the Conquest (of Mecca ),
but Jihad and good intention remain; and if you are called (by the Muslim
ruler) for fighting, go forth immediately.”
(Bukhari, Vol. 4,
Book 52, No. 42)
Why don’t we try
to prove to Allah that we are brave and can fight in HIS way? No, we don’t do
that because we are busy dancing with guns/swords to impress women and claim
that we are brave. Are we?
How easily we
forget (or knowingly ignore) what Allah has commanded us to do in such
situations! Here’s a reminder:
ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ
يُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
يُقَاتِلُونَ فِى
سَبِيلِ ٱلطَّاغُوتِ فَقَاتِلُوۤاْ أَوْلِيَاءَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ
إِنَّ كَيْدَ
ٱلشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفاً
“Those who believe, fight in the cause of Allah;
“Those who believe, fight in the cause of Allah;
and those who reject Faith, Fight in the
cause
of Evil. So fight against the friends of
Satan!
Feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.”
(al-Quran 4:76)
فَقَاتِلْ فِى
سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لاَ تُكَلَّفُ إِلاَّ نَفْسَكَ
وَحَرِّضِ
ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَكُفَّ بَأْسَ
ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
وَٱللَّهُ أَشَدُّ بَأْساً وَأَشَدُّ تَنكِيلاً
“Then fight in Allah's cause. You are held
“Then fight in Allah's cause. You are held
responsible only for yourself, and rouse
the
believers. It may be that Allah will
restrain
the fury of the unbelievers; for Allah is
the strongest in might and in punishment.”
(al-Quran 4:84)
Narrated
Anas bin Malik:
“The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor
(of fighting) in Allah's cause in the forenoon or in the afternoon is better
than the world and whatever is in it’."
(Bukhari, Vol. 4,
Book 52, No. 50)
When the Devil’s
army blockade the supplies of food, water, medicines, clothing and
reconstruction material (not to speak of arms for self-defense), we watch as
silent spectators. We forget all about humanity, civil or human rights; we
don’t see mankind suffering – thirsty and hungry, humans slaughtered, kids
butchered, women raped, elderly gunned down. We don’t hear nobody’s cries,
screams, weeping on losing one limb or half of his/her body, losing their
children or the parents, family member gunned down in front of their eyes, when
they are left to feel helpless, miserable and powerless.
That’s when
normal human beings should come to their help and rescue. That’s when somebody
should tell them: Hold on! We are coming to your aid! We’ll stop the cruel hand
of aggression; we’ll stand up for you and fight for justice and humanity along
side you. You are not alone in this, we are with you!
But nobody said
that; despite the fact that Allah had commanded them in the Quran to stand up
and fight the aggression:
وَقَاتِلُواْ فِى
سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ
وَلاَ تَعْتَدُوۤاْ
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ
“Fight in the way of Allah against those who
“Fight in the way of Allah against those who
fight against you, but begin not
hostilities.
Lo! Allah loves not the aggressors.”
(al-Quran 2:190)
وَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ
حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُم وَأَخْرِجُوهُمْ مِّنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ
وَٱلْفِتْنَةُ
أَشَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْقَتْلِ وَلاَ تُقَاتِلُوهُمْ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ
حَتَّىٰ
يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِيهِ فَإِن قَاتَلُوكُمْ فَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ كَذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ
ٱلْكَافِرِينَ
“And slay them wherever you find them, and
drive them out of the places whence they
drove
you out, for persecution is worse than
slaughter.
And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place
of Worship until they first attack you
there, but
if they attack you (there) then slay them.
Such is the reward of disbelievers.”
(al-Quran
2:191)
فَإِنِ ٱنتَهَوْاْ
فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ
حَتَّىٰ لاَ تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ ٱلدِّينُ
للَّهِ فَإِنِ
ٱنْتَهَواْ فَلاَ عُدْوَانَ إِلاَّ عَلَى ٱلظَّالِمِينَ
“But if they desist, then lo! Allah is
Forgiving,
Merciful. And fight them until persecution is
no more, and religion is for Allah. But if
they
desist, then let there be no hostility,
except against wrong-doers.”
(al-Quran 2:192-193)
These commands
are very clear and don’t need any fancy (or tricky) interpretation from any
scholar.
Narrated Abu Said al-Khudri:
“Somebody asked, ‘O Allah's Apostle! Who is the best among
the people?"
Allah's Apostle replied "A believer who strives his
utmost in Allah's cause with his life and property."
They asked, "Who is next?"
He replied, "A believer who stays in one of the
mountain paths worshipping Allah and leaving the people secure from his
mischief."
(Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 52, No. 45)
For those who don’t
remember to have come across such verses on the subject of ‘fighting in the cause of Allah’ or ‘Jihad’,
I give here below a few verses from the Quran for their information and
education:
فَلْيُقَاتِلْ فِى
سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشْرُونَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
بِٱلآخِرَةِ وَمَن
يُقَاتِلْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَيُقْتَلْ أَو يَغْلِبْ
فَسَوْفَ
نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْراً عَظِيماً
“Let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell
“Let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell
the life of this world for the Hereafter.
To him
who fights in the cause of Allah, whether
he is
slain or gets victory, soon shall We give
him a reward of great (value).”
(al-Quran 4:74)
لاَّ يَسْتَوِى
ٱلْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُوْلِى ٱلضَّرَرِ وَٱلْمُجَاهِدُونَ
فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ
بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُجَاهِدِينَ
بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ
وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ عَلَى ٱلْقَاعِدِينَ دَرَجَةً وَكُـلاًّ وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ
ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
وَفَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى ٱلْقَاعِدِينَ أَجْراً عَظِيماً
“Not equal are those believers who sit (at home)
“Not equal are those believers who sit (at home)
and receive no hurt, and those who strive
and fight
in the cause of Allah with their goods and
their
persons. Allah has granted a grade higher
to those
who strive and fight with their goods and
persons
than to those who sit (at home). Unto all
(in Faith)
has Allah promised good. But those who
strive
and fight, has He distinguished above
those
who sit (at home) by a special reward.”
(al-Quran 4:95)
وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ
حَتَّىٰ لاَ تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّينُ
كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ
فَإِنِ انْتَهَوْاْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
“And fight them on until there is no more tumult
“And fight them on until there is no more tumult
or oppression, and there prevail justice
and faith
in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if
they
cease, verily Allah does see all that they
do.”
(al-Quran
8:39)
وَٱلَّذينَ كَفَرُواْ
بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ إِلاَّ تَفْعَلُوهُ
تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِى
ٱلأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِيرٌ
“The Unbelievers are protectors, one of another.
“The Unbelievers are protectors, one of another.
Unless you do this, (protect each other),
there
would be tumult and oppression on earth,
and great mischief.”
(al-Quran
8:73)
وَٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ
وَهَاجَرُواْ وَجَاهَدُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ
وَٱلَّذِينَ آوَواْ
وَّنَصَرُوۤاْ أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
حَقّاً لَّهُمْ
مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ
“Those who believe, and adopt exile, and fight
“Those who believe, and adopt exile, and fight
for the Faith, in the cause of Allah as
well as
those who give (them) asylum and aid,
these
are (all) in very truth the Believers; for
them is the
forgiveness of sins and a provision most
generous.”
(al-Quran
8:74)
أَلاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ

oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger, and

you
should more justly fear, if you believe!”
(al-Quran 9:13)

you about, and let them find firmness in
you; and
know that Allah is with those who fear
Him.”
(al-Quran 9:123)

“To those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah,
“To those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah,
after suffering oppression, We will
assuredly give a
goodly home in this world; but truly the
reward of the
Hereafter will be greater, if they only
realized (this)!”
(al-Quran 16:41)
أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ

homes in defiance of right, (for no cause)
except that
they say, "Our Lord is Allah".
Did not Allah check
one set of people by means of another,
there would
surely have been pulled down monasteries,
churches,
synagogues, and mosques, in which the name
of Allah
is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah
will
certainly aid those who aid his (cause);
for verily,
Allah is full of Strength, Exalted in
Might
(Able to enforce His Will).”
(al-Quran
22:39-40)

“So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against
“So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against
them herewith with a great endeavor.”
(al-Quran 25:52)
فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُ
ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَضَرْبَ ٱلرِّقَابِ حَتَّىٰ إِذَآ أَثْخَنتُمُوهُمْ

“Therefore, when you meet the Unbelievers (in fight),
smite at their necks; at length, when you
have thoroughly
subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on
them). Thereafter
(is the time for) either generosity or
ransom, until the
war lays down its burdens. Thus (are you
commanded);
but if it had been Allah's Will, He could
certainly have
exacted retribution from them (Himself);
but (He lets
you fight) in order to test you, some with
others.
But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,
He will never let their deeds be lost.”
(al-Quran
47:4)
