Comment:
It has been five years since the revolution began in Syria. At the beginning this revolution was similar to the uprisings in neighboring Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and so on, but over time, this revolution has acquired a definite shape and boundaries. The calls to stop tyranny turned to the calls to overthrow the tyrannical regime and establish the Islamic system of government – Khilafah (Caliphate).
The notable fact remains that since the beginning of the revolution in Syria and to this day the disbelieving colonizers represented by the US and their assistants in the region such as Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, guided by the secular system, are trying to resolve the conflict between the Muslims and the criminal regime of Assad. How sad our position that our problems are solved by the disbelieving colonizers, bogged down in disbelief and obscurantism, while Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:
وَلَن يَجْعَلَ اللّهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلاً
“And never will Allah give the disbelievers over the believers a way [to overcome them]”
(4:141)
We see to this day that the numerous attempts of the US and their servants to distract the Syrian Muslim from their demands to overthrow the tyrannical Assad regime and even to renounce them have failed. And so the United States uses the most insidious way mixing lies with the truth in order to provide this poisonous mixture as the only right alternative to end the revolution.
Using its agents in the region such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and others, the US is trying to bribe the warring factions, providing them with weapons, food and ammunition. Thus, the US strongly binds those that agreed and requires the implementation of its commitments in exchange for the provision of military and other assistance. The result is that some groups begin to say that they imagine the future of Syria as a secular state. During the talks in Kazakhstan there was announced everything, but not the demand to overthrow Assad’s tyrannical regime and establish the Islamic system of government – Khilafah (Caliphate).
Are the leaders of the warring groups so blind and ignorant that they do not see their future in Kazakhstan!? The Republic of Kazakhstan is originally an Islamic land, which was ruled by the laws of Allah. In the late 19th century, these territories were captured by tsarist Russia, then passed into the hands of the Communist regime in the beginning of the last century. Kazakhstan has received its so-called independence, after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Nursultan Nazarbayev, a former representative of the Communist Party, whose regime is not much different from Assad’s, came to power.
The people living within these borders drawn by disbelieving colonizers have been practicing Islam for centuries. Sultan Baybars is a bright representative of this steppe people. But, despite the long history of Islam, the country is still under the yoke of tyranny and secular government. The so-called “independence” of Kazakhstan remains a formality, it actually remains under the pressure of Russia and its demands in the service of the West.
Don’t these representatives of the military groups understand that any agreement on providing assistance with the disbelieving colonizers in the establishment of the State or achieving the independence is doomed to failure. The numerous examples of this can be found in the history of our countries. We will not go far and will focus on Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. What has changed in these lands!? The system remains secular and one tyrant is replaced by another.
Do you think that the colonial disbelievers that bound your hands and feet by the agreements and dependence, will release you from your obligations in front of them, and will allow Muslims to live in peace!? Look at the place where Egyptian President Mursi is now! Do you think disbelieving colonizers give him free will!? Allow an independent free election!? But no!? The colonizers allowed the holding of elections only because they were within their secular ideas. Do you think disbelieving colonizers conduct the negotiations with you, because they have no choice? But no!!! They conduct negotiations with you, because, you agree to their terms of negotiations and put forward demands that suit them!!! Does not Allah the Almighty say in His Noble Book:
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا
“There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often.”
(33:21)
If we look at our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, we see that even in the most difficult moments of his life, when he was left alone without a patron in the person of his uncle Abu Talib, and his wife Khadija (ra) left this world, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, referring to the Arab tribes for help did not go on compromises or concessions. He ﷺ entirely and strictly followed the instructions of his Lord.
Therefore, those who are fighting for freedom and revolution in Syria, in particular the representatives of the military groups, should follow the example of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. And for the victory of Islam and Muslims, there is no other alternative. And may Allah help us!
