A Message to the silent Muslim rulers – The enemies within/The Taghut

Imam Muhammad b. al-Qasim said:

“[Supporting the Poor] It is incumbent upon a believer, and indeed an integral part of their faith, not to neglect supporting those who are in need and facing hardship among their fellow believers in the religion, as well as their neighbors who share the same faith. They should generously provide for them from their wealth, surplus, and possessions. It is essential to give them from the obligatory charity (Zakāt) of their livestock and one-tenth of the produce and fruits of their land that Allāh has ordained upon them. Neglecting or forgetting to fulfill these obligations means abandoning a required duty, and Allāh becomes displeased with such neglect. It has reached me from the Messenger of Allāh, upon him and his family be peace, and my father would narrate it: That the Messenger of Allāh, upon him and his family be peace, said: “He has not believed! And he would repeat it three times. Some of those present from the companions asked him, ‘O Messenger of Allāh, who is that?’ He replied: ‘It is the one who sleeps with a full stomach while his neighbor is hungry beside him, and he is aware of it.’”

In the name of the God

Now tell me o “leaders” of the Ummah of the last Messenger & Prophet of God, how do you sleep at night knowing that innocent human beings & civilians are crushed by buildings, having their homes & hospitals bombed day & night? O Taghut, who places his will & desire over the command of God, how are you at rest seeing limbless children who have their body parts mutilated by bombs & weapons? Have you buried any of your children? Has your child suffocated under rubble?

Tell me o criminals who exploit the title of Muslim & falsely use the title of ‘Believer’ of the Creator of all? Do you really believe that God bestowed sanctity of life & honour to humanity? Or do you take your own soul as a lord or god above all?

Are you doing this to fill your hungry eyes, are you silent for mere business deals? Are you passive & inactive for greed of power & authority? You have lost your empathy & consciousness, you are not human anymore, instead you are all worse than the desirous animals! The difference is that animals act based on impulsivity, whereas you think, wait & plan to commit your selfish desires!

What would you gain if you had all the power over the world, when it is gained through the massacre of innocent men, women & children!?
