The situation of the Sunni Vs Shi'a is nothing new, its a age old catastrophe...but let them sort out their own problem, why do they need Mother Intervention 'America and its ilk' ?! It is so disappointing Muslims fail to realise how important it is to avoid lusting over western ideals, and then suffer the consequence. During Saddams regime [will no doubt take an genius to workout some of the atrocities that were carried out under his totalitarian ruling...]But the situtation our brothers and sisters face now are 'suicidal'. Whether Moqtada Al-Sadr has an agenda of his own or not...unity with the Sunni's is a must and necessity 'for now' and work toward 'getting rid of the occupiers out' is an obligation.
But whatever I have to say...these occupiers have gone in...and they will leave their pollution behind. But I am hoping the Muslims whether they are Sunni's or Shi'as will look out their cacoon and see their need to put aside religious dogmas and seek some form of unity against further imperialist intervention and occupation inshAllah.
Jihad in the Holy Qur'an:
"Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure," (Surah 61:4).
"Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress limits...191And slay them wherever ye catch them. and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for persecution is worse than slaughter; But fight them not at the sacred Mosque unless they (first) fight you there; But if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who reject faith. 192 But if they cease, Allah is oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. 193And fight them on until there is no more persecution. And the religion becomes Allah's. But if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression" ( Surah 2:190-193).
"O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things," (Surah 9:38-39).
See also Surah 4:74-76; 61:10-12.
"The Prophet said, "The person who participates in (Holy battles) in Allah's cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostles, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the battle as a martyr). Had I not found it difficult for my followers, then I would not remain behind any sariya going for Jihad and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred in His cause."Volume 1, Book 2, Number 35, Narrated Abu Huraira- "Allah's Apostle said, "A pious slave gets a double reward." Abu Huraira added: By Him in Whose Hands my soul is but for Jihad (i.e. holy battles), Hajj, and my duty to serve my mother, I would have loved to die as a slave. Volume 3, Book 46, Number 724: Narrated Abu Huraira
- "Allah's Apostle said, "Allah guarantees (the person who carries out Jihad in His Cause and nothing compelled him to go out but Jihad in His Cause and the belief in His Word) that He will either admit him into Paradise (Martyrdom) or return him with reward or booty he has earned to his residence from where he went out." Volume 9, Book 93, Number 555: Narrated Abu Huraira.
Who are we to say Jihad is to be put to a side when its our very religious 'duty'? For how long will we live like donkeys according to others orders?
