Allahu Akbar ... Allahu Akbar ... Allahu Akbar

Allah is Mightier than oppressors, tyrants, and repression
Allah is Mightier than those who succumbed and remained silent over the rule of Kufr
Allah is Mightier than the intimidation of every ruler who prevented his army from supporting the Muslims

After the Battle of Uhud the Prophet (saw) sent Ubai Bin Ka'ab to examine what became of Sa'd Bin Ar-Rabee', if he was alive or dead, and said to him, if you see him, tell him the Messenger of Allah is asking how do you find yourself? When he saw him, he was wounded and dying, he was stabbed a dozen times, and he gave him the message from the Messenger (saw), "How do find yourself?" Sa'd replied, "Tell the Messenger of Allah, I found the smell of heaven, and tell my people the Ansar, "You have no excuse to Allah if anyone attacks the Messenger of Allah as long as your eyes blink" and then he died, with his heart full of love for the Messenger of Allah (saw).

More than fourteen centuries ago the companions of the Prophet (saw) heard first hand from their Prophet (saw) the truthful and trustworthy the words of Allah (swt) that He (swt) is pleased with them:

﴿لَقَدْ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ يُبَايِعُونَكَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ فَعَلِمَ مَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ السَّكِينَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَثَابَهُمْ فَتْحًا قَرِيبًا * وَمَغَانِمَ كَثِيرَةً يَأْخُذُونَهَا وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا﴾

"Certainly was Allah pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to you, [O Muhammad], under the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquility upon them and rewarded them with an imminent conquest. And much war booty which they will take. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise." [Al-Fatih: 18-19]

Allah was aware of what is within themselves and that they would fulfill the pledge and will do anything wholeheartedly with exceptional acceptance, and they proved how much they love Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) with their sacrifices to defend him (saw). Abu Bakr (ra), the companion of the Messenger of Allah in the Hijra (immigration), used to walk in front of the Prophet for one hour and behind him for another hour to protect him and he used to say to him, "If there ever was trouble, I wish for it to befall on me and not you."

In the Battle of Uhud, there are wonderful stories of the love of the companions, men and women of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw). Abu Talha Al-Ansari protected the Prophet (saw) with a steel bar when the people dispersed away from him (saw), and he would say to him, "I sacrifice my father and mother for you, O Messenger, do not approach otherwise an arrow from the people will hit you, I would rather it strike my chest not yours." And Umm Umara Almazinah whom the Prophet (saw) described her defending him:

«ما التفتُّ يمينا ولا شمالا إلا أراها تقاتل دوني»

"Whenever I turned to the right or to the left, I saw her fighting to protect me", and she had more than a dozen wounds and did not care, her main concern was to accompany him (saw) in paradise, so he (saw) prayed for her and her husband and her two sons, who were among the few that have not been defeated. The Prophet's Du'aa for them was:

«اللهم اجعلهم رفقائي في الجنة».

"Oh Allah, make them my companions in Paradise". She was content and said, "I am not concerned with whatever befalls me in the world". After the return of the Muslims to the Medina, a woman from Bani Dinar received the news of the death of her father, brother, and husband, but she was only concerned with the wellbeing of the Prophet (saw) and was satisfied only when she was reassured that the Messenger of Allah was well. She looked at him and said the famous quote, "Every grave calamity we can bear but not the one that befalls you, O Messenger of Allah."

Indeed, such were the hearts of the companions, despite all that they suffer from difficulties and calamities, they were ready to bear, but they could not bear to for a calamity strike the Prophet (saw). When Khubaib Bin Udai Al-Ansari was about to be killed they asked him would you like Muhammad to be in your place? He responded, "By Allah, I would hate to be with my family while Muhammad (saw) is harmed by a thorn."
These are the supporters of the Prophet (saw), who gained the honor of the victory, and this is the portrayal of their enduring sentiments, they were not concerned with worldly matters and did not aspire to anything but the blessing and pleasure of Allah (swt), the Almighty says in their description,

((يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانًا وَيَنْصُرُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الصَّادِقُونَ))

"...seeking bounty from Allah and [His] approval and supporting Allah and His Messenger, [there is also a share]. Those are the truthful" [Al-Hashr: 8]

By these hearts that Allah (swt) knew what is within them, Islam emerged, the Deen of Truth not only in the Arabian Peninsula, but throughout the inhabited parts of this wide earth, Allah (swt) says,

((هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ))

"It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although those who associate others with Allah dislike it." [As-Saff: 9]

Islam in reality is still dominant over all religions. But it is the only remaining Deen that is capable of application and leadership, in spite of all we see of assembly of nations against Muslims, and it will expand until the glad-tiding of the Prophet (saw) is realized:

«زويت لي الأرض فرأيت مشارقها ومغاربها وسيبلغ ملك أمتي ما زوي لي منها»

"Allah showed me the Earth, so I saw its easts and its wrests, and the authority of my Ummah will be all that I was shown."

All this love - although it is little for what he (saw) represents - because of the collection of virtues and qualities in his character that can only be seen in him from the human race. Ibn Al-Qayyim may Allah have mercy on him said, "Know that in the Messenger of Allah (saw) is a good example for you in his life and death, and in word and deed, and all the situations he endured are lessons and enlightenment for those who are seeking them, as no one is more honorable to Allah than him. He was devoted to Allah and beloved, he was the chosen one by Allah, His Messenger and His Prophet." In origin the one who loves, hastens to follow the methodology of his beloved and takes his way as an example. Therefore what if the Beloved is not just a great person at a specific period of time, who was defended by his companions but then after his death the matter was over; even more what if he is the best of humanity, the Prophet of mercy, the Prophet of the best nation that included the likes of Omar Ibn al-Khattab who said to the Prophet (saw), "You are dearer to me than everything except myself" in which the Prophet (saw) responded,

«لن يؤمن أحدكم حتى أكون أحب إليه من نفسه»

"None of you truly believes until I am dearer to him than himself," Omar (ra) did not hesitate, but immediately replied to his request, he said, "By the one who revealed to you the Book you are dearer to me than myself." The Prophet (saw) said, الآن يا عمر»» "Now, O Omar".

The Messenger knew his place in "Al-Farouk", Omar's heart but wanted to teach us, the believing Muslims, in order to fortify his love in our souls during the times of distractions. And the time has come: his guidance (saw) and his Seerah has long been overdue, and the weakness of the concept of the Islamic creed is in the hearts of many of us, and our zeal and protectiveness of our Deen and our Prophet has weakened, this made those who in the past feared our State become more brazen. The Ummah's prestige stems from the prestige of its ruler, and in the absence of the rule of Islamic Shariah, the Islamic Ummah's prestige became absent - So they dared to attack our Prophet our beloved, our Quran, and our sanctities and our honor, and even our souls.

The mocking of the Noble Prophet and insults, and attacking the honour of his family is not new, but it began during his life time and Allah protected him from the mockers, even his noble name was not uttered by Satan (Azib of Aqaba) when he called loudly on the Kuffar wanting to reveal the allegiance (bay'ah) treaty that was secretly conducted, saying, O People are you aware of Muzmam (he meant Muhammad) and those who left their faith with him, had met to fight you.

Allah had protected His Beloved (saw) from the harm of his enemies, as the time when Abu Jahl was determined to step on the neck of the Prophet (saw) while he was in Sujood (prostration) and cover his face with dust, when he approached the Prophet (saw) with the intention to harm, he horridly retreated in defeat flailing his hands to protect himself, his companions wondered why he did this, he explained that there was a trench of fire between me and him and terrifying wings (angels defending him), the Prophet (saw) said:

«لو دنا مني لاختطفته الملائكة عضوا عضوا»

"If he came closer to me the Angels would have ripped him apart organ by organ."

Also Allah (swt) Avenged His Messenger (saw) from those who mocked and insulted him, and exposed them, as happened with his (saw) writer who converted to Islam and then apostatized and returned back to being a Christian and claimed that the Prophet does not know except what he wrote for him. Allah took his soul and when they wanted to bury him, the earth rejected him repeatedly, so they left him dejected. This was the penalty of those who slandered the Prophet (saw), Allah punished him and exposed his lies.

The Prophet (saw) allowed those from the companions who wished to retaliate against those who offended him with insults and insidious poems and attacked his honor from the people characterized by deceit and malice to Islam and Muslims, such as Abu Rafi Bin Abi Al-Huqaiq, who was from of the great Jewish criminals, who helped gather allies supported them with supplies and money against the Muslims. He used to buy women (al-qiyan) reciting satirical poems filled with insults to the Prophet (saw). He had to be punished, some of his (saw) companions led by Abdullah Bin Atik went out to undergo the task despite the difficulty. Since he was inside a fortress making it impossible for any stranger to enter, however, Allah's success and facilitation of matters made Abdullah Bin Atik resourceful in finding access and avenge the Prophet and return unscathed except for a broken leg which the Prophet healed by wiping his hands over it.

Muslims despite their hearts full of fury for the insults on the Prophet (saw), they rejoiced for the defeat of those who insulted the Prophet (saw). Muslims at times despaired from the siege of one the fortresses and areas in Ash-Sham spanning several months; but when the people of Kufr insulted the Messenger of Allah, or attacked his honor, their conquests became easier, it was barely hindering for only one or two days or so, and then it was forced open with a great battle.

Following the method of the Messenger of Allah (saw) in punishing the one who insults the Prophet (saw), Muslim leaders proceeded, including Salahuddin who vowed to kill Arnat, the mastermind of Karak, because he violated the treaty and killed Muslims. When Muslims reminded him of the treaty, he mocked the Prophet (saw), so when Arnat was brought in front of Salahuddin, he avenged the Messenger and killed him.
Thus was the fate of the one who insults the best of creations, he meets the severest response and society is cleansed of him and his evils, though Allah has protected His Messenger which is sufficient for him than the support of the creation, He (swt) says:

((أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ))

"Is not Allah sufficient for His Servant [Prophet Muhammad]?" [Az-Zummar: 36]

Whereas Allah tests you by making you struggle with each other, thus Allah knows who will support Him and his Deen, without your knowledge, so that He (swt) account for the actions.

Today, Western countries live in fear of the return of the giant of Islam which has awakened in the minds and hearts of Muslims, so they have started to rush back towards Islam to be their way of life as it had been before, to rescue them from the suffering from the West's oppression and its rotten capitalist system.

In order to prevent the Muslims from reaching their aim, the West attempted to tarnish their image and portray them as terrorists, using a variety of methods to attack the foundations of Islam, which includes insulting Islam and attacks on the Messenger (saw) and against the Qur'an and its desecration with the pretext of freedom of expression! Furthermore they pursue dedicated scholars and Dawah carriers, and attacks on mosques from demolition and arson, and attacks on the Islamic teachings, and to depict Islam as an evil religion of violence and terrorism. All to make Muslims respond to such abuses violently even to carry out assassinations, which the West will use as a pretext in front of their people to fight the Muslims and access their countries under the pretext of defending human rights in all its forms with the help of the malignant politicized media, and writers with contaminated minds with ideas of secularism and liberalism, including Al-Azhar, which is regarded as a platform of Islam which allowed a book by Bush's grandfather which the US administration said it refers to Muhammad as a charlatan and describes Islam as a "a huge heretical myth" a decade ago. How offensive is their sayings!

All this is happening and our rulers the agents of the Kaffir colonizer, who are separated from their people in thought and feeling, deaf, dumb and blind like cattle, but they are far astray, standing to the aggressor's side against the victims and defending the attackers. What we've seen from the condemnation of the attack on the notorious Charlie Hebdo Newspaper and how quickly they participated in the march of solidarity in France, giving speeches denouncing the actions and the perpetrators, and holding Muslims and Islam responsible. This proves that these rulers do not belong to the Muslim Ummah and the Ummah has disassociated themselves from them. Woe to them! Do they not see how animals instinctively defend themselves and their herd, they are actually more astray than the animals. Allah (swt) says:

((يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُم * وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَتَعْسًا لَهُمْ وَأَضَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ))

"O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet. But those who disbelieve - for them is misery, and He will waste their deeds." [Muhammad: 7-8]

This is not the first time that evil tongues dare insult our Prophet, the crown of our heads and our beloved Muhammad (saw), and attack our creed, it is a series of deliberate abuses, with attacks increasing in recent years. Since when had Vatican Popes been able to unleash their tongues against Islam? Since when had Danish newspapers been allowed to publish cartoons insulting the Prophet (saw)? And since when had the ruler of a Muslim country dare to give a speech blaming Muslims for what happened to the newspaper? From the platforms of Western colonizers, these rulers call them to reform themselves and reconsider their essence, and not long ago he called to change the discourse of the Deen, regarding Islam as the cause of terrorism, and he has forgotten that he terrorized his people and showed them all forms of oppression and injustice, isn't this the real terrorism? Hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakil "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs."

These people and their likes would not have dare transgress if there was someone who will cut their tongues. For what always emerges from an angry reaction from the Ummah is centered either in the call for a boycott of the purchase of products of the aggressor states and boycotting their websites to strike their economy, or to carry out demonstrations and marches condemning or demanding the expulsion of ambassadors, and there are those who believe that the defense will be by more frequent prayer and peace upon the Prophet, and Dhikr and prayer (du'a) against the offenders. Did these methods achieve anything for Muslims?! Did it silence their tongues or pushed away the evil? Certainly not, the protectiveness of the Prophet (saw) is not limited to anger and emotional actions, but the correct action is to adhere to his Sunnah and support his Message, and work hard to establish the guided Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the method of Prophethood which alone is capable of stopping these series of attacks, and it is the only one able to preserve the Rulings of Islam and the defend the Islamic Ummah. Allah (swt) says:

((قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ))

"Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." [Al-i-Imran: 31]

Therefore to all Muslims who truly are protective about their Deen and their Messenger, to all who assume a rank in the military of the Arab and Muslim lands from the top rank downwards, to the people of power and protection: You have no excuse to Allah if anyone attacks the Messenger of Allah as long as your eyes blink!

For how long will the inaction persist to give victory to the Deen of Allah? How long will you remain silent over the insults to the Deen of Allah and His Messenger and His Book? How long will you remain subservient to your rulers and give blind obedience to them? By Allah your money and positions that they use to seduce you will not save you on the Day you meet your Lord, then you will say the Words of Allah Almighty,

((مَا أَغْنَى عَنِّي مَالِيَهْ هَلَكَ عَنِّي سُلْطَانِيَهْ))

"My wealth has not availed me. Gone from me is my authority" [Al-Haqqa: 28-29]

And by Allah the thrones of your rulers are weaker than the spider's web, if you only knew. So why not shake your hands of them and hasten to reserve your seat of truth by the Mighty King, and demolish all the pillars of your seats with those misguided, misguiding, arrogant tyrants.

Will you not get angry for the sake of Allah to restore the Ummah's rights from those who subjected it to all kinds of oppression and tyranny, and restore its pride and strength? If one of the first people in Hellfire on the Day of Judgment will be the martyr whose intention was not sincerely for Allah, but fought for so that is said that he is courageous, then what about the punishment of the one who fights in defense of the enemies and traitors to Allah and His Messenger? Man has only one soul that Allah (swt) has decreed with a specific time for its end, so let all of you decide how you would want your soul to depart. Will it be in Allah's pleasure that will be victorious with Allah's pleasure and paradise accompanied by the master of martyrs and the righteous, or in the pleasure of the slaves who forgot Allah and sold their Deen for the world of others, in which you will be beside them in the flaming Fire only reached by the wretched?

These are decisive moments, so choose carefully and prepare your luggage, select your company and decide your destination. Will it be the Kufr camp and what it requires of subordination and loyalty to the Kuffar and their associates, or to the camp of Iman and the required zeal and anger for Allah and His Messenger and support for the workers to resume the Islamic way of life and the declaration of the second guided Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the method of Prophethood, the Promise of Allah and glad-tiding of His Messenger (saw)? What a great honor if you attain it, it is an hour of patience, either martyrdom or Khilafah "Caliphate", so rush to this great honor before Allah replaces you with men of more power. Do not fear anyone but Allah when speaking the truth. Who will obtain the honor of giving a pledge of allegiance (Bay'ah) to the Khaleefah? Who will rule by the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (saw) in which the Kaffir West will be shown the deterrent response?
