Some quotes:
Jihad in Islam
"In reality Islam is a revolutionary ideology and programme
which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it
in conformity with its own tenets and ideals. 'Muslim' is the title of that
International Revolutionary Party organized by Islam to carry into effect
its revolutionary programme. And 'Jihad' refers to that revolutionary struggle
and utmost exertion which the Islamic Party brings into play to acheive
this objective."
--Sayeed Abdul A'la Maududi, Jihad in Islam p8
"Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere
on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme
of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it. The purpose
of Islam is to set up a State on the basis of its own ideology and programme,
regardless of which Nation assumes the role of the standard bearer of Islam
or the rule of which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment
of an ideological Islamic State."
--Sayeed Abdul A'la Maududi, Jihad in Islam p9
Terrorism Is a Part of
Islam
"Whoever says that Islam is free from terrorism or wants to
differentiate between Islam and terrorism is committing Al Juhoud and that
is Kufr Akbar – and will take them out of the fold of Islam.
The one who says ‘we should fight against terrorism’, he is fighting against
Islam. We know very well that USA meant no one else by the term ‘terrorists’
but Islam and Muslims and the one who wants to avoid terrorism is avoiding
Islam."
-- Al
Muhajiroun (Bakir School of Thought) 6-21-2004
Fighters & Non Fighters
"Islam does not recognise any difference between the kuffar, they
are either zhimmi (under the Islamic state) or mu’ahhed (has covenant with
a Muslim), or he is harbi and has no sanctity for his life or wealth.
There is no such thing as an ‘innocent’ kafir, innocence is only applicable
for the Muslims; do not say ‘innocent’ for the kafir, the most you can say
for them is that they are ‘victims’. The Muslim however, is innocent even
if he engages to fight and conquer the kafir, because he is fulfilling the
shari’ah."
--Al Muhajiroun,
(Bakir School), 6-21-2004
Join the Caravan
"Jihad and the rifle
alone. NO negotiations, NO conferences and NO dialogue."
--Sheikh
Abdullah Azzam, Join The Caravan p9
"So, if the fighting
stops, the disbelievers will dominate, and fitnah, which is Shirk (polytheism), will spread."
--Sheikh
Abdullah Azzam, Join The Caravan p20
The Religious and Moral
Doctrine of Jihad
"Since lawful warfare is essentially Jihad and since its aim is that
religion is entirely for Allah and the word of Allah is uppermost, therefore,
according to all Muslims, those who stand in the way of this aim must
be fought."
--Sheikh
Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah, The Religious and Moral Doctrin of Jihad,
p28
"As for those who cannot
offer resistance or cannot fight, such as women, children, monks, old people,
the blind, handicapped and their likes, they shall not be killed, unless
they actually fight with words [e.g. by propaganda] and acts [e.g. by spying
or otherwise assisting in the warefare]. Some [jurists] are of the opinion
that all of them may be killed, on the mere ground that they are unbelievers,
but they make an exception for woman and children sind they constitute
property for Muslims."
--Sheikh
Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah, The Religious and Moral Doctrin of Jihad, p28
"The Shari'ah enjoins
fighting the unbelievers, but not the killing of those who have been captured.
If a male unbeliever is taken captive during warfare or otherwise, e.g.
as a result of a shipwreck, or because he lost his way, or as a result
of a ruse, then the head of state (imam) may do whatever he deems appropriate:
killing him, enslaving him, releasing him or setting him free for a ransom
consisting in either property or people."
--Sheikh
Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah, The Religious and Moral Doctrin of Jihad, p29
"The most serious type
of obligatory Jihad is the one against the unbelievers and against those
who refuse to abide by certain prescriptions of the Shari'ah, like those
who refuse to pay zakaah, the Kharijites and the like."
--Sheikh
Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah, The Religious and Moral Doctrin of Jihad, p33
The Absent Obligation
"Allah revealed Islam
in order that humanity could be governed according to it. Unbelief is darkness
and disorder. So the unbelievers, if they are not suppressed, create disorder.
That is why the Muslims are responsible for the implementation of Allah's
Law on the planet, that humanity may be governed by it, as opposed to
corrupt man-made laws. The Muslims must make all efforts to establish the
religion of Allah on the earth."
--Muhammad
'Abdus Salam Faraj, Jihad: The Absent Obligation, p43
Jihad in the Quran &
Sunnah
"'The fighting,' even
though by its nature is disliked by the human soul because of the liability
of being killed, or being taken as a captive, or being injured, with the
wasting of wealth, the damaging of the industries, the destruction to the
country, the spreading of fear and awe in the souls and the possibility
of being exiled from one's homeland, Allah had made ready an immensely good
reward that cannot be imagined by a human soul."
--Sheikh
Abdullah bin Muhammad Humaid, Jihad in the Quran & Sunnah, p11
"The verses of the Quran
and the Sunnah (the Prophet's legal ways, orders etc.) have exhorted greatly
for Jihad and have made quite clear its rewards, and praised greatly
those who perform Jihad (the holy fighting in Allah's Cause) and explained
to them various kinds of honor which they will receive from their Lord.
This is because they -- Mujahideen are Allah's tropps. Allah will establish
His religion (Islam) with them."
--Sheikh
Abdullah bin Muhammad Humaid, Jihad in the Quran & Sunnah, p11
"And it is they, (Mujahideen)
who fight against the enemies of Allah in order that the worship be all
for Allah (alone and not for any other deity) and that of the Word of Allah
(i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and his religion, Islam)
should be superior."
--Sheikh
Abdullah bin Muhammad Humaid, Jihad in the Quran & Sunnah, p12
"And you will not find
any organization past or present, religious or non-relgious as regards
ordering the whole nation to march forth and mobilize all of them into
active military service as a single row for Jihad in Allah's Cause so as
to make superior the Word of Allah (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah), as you will find in the Islamic Religion and its teachings."
--Sheikh
Abdullah bin Muhammad Humaid, Jihad in the Quran & Sunnah, p29
"So they fought in the
Cause of Allah for Islamic Faith (worshipping none but Allah Alone) and
sincerely (for Allah's sake) and to make victorious Allah's Religion till
it becomes superior over all religions, and mankind is brought out: 1)from
the darkness into the light, 2) from the worshipping of the slaves (created
false gods) to the worshipping of Allah alone (the one true God), 3)
from the distress of the world to its wideness (ease) and 4) from the
injustices of the religions to the justice of Islam."
--Sheikh
Abdullah bin Muhammad Humaid, Jihad in the Quran & Sunnah, p38
"And they are the troops
of Allah, and that they are fighting in Allah's Cause, and surely Allah
will help and support them and will defeat their enemies, as their enemies
fight for the cause of Satan."
--Sheikh
Abdullah bin Muhammad Humaid, Jihad in the Quran & Sunnah, p39
