<h1>The Exposition Regarding the Disbelief of the One That Assists the Americans</h1>By: Shaykh Nāsir bin Hamad al-Fahd(may Allāh free him)With the introductions of the Noble Scholars:Shaykh Hamūd Ibn ‘Uqlā’ ash-Shu’aybī(may Allāh have mercy upon him)&Shaykh Sulaymān Ibn Nāsir al-‘Ulwān(may Allāh free him)&Shaykh ‘Alī Ibn Khudayr al-Khudayr(may Allāh free him)Shaykh ul-Islām Muhammad ibn ‘Abdil-Wahhāb (d. 1206H) – rahimahullāh – said in Nawāqid al-Islām: “The Eighth Nullifier: Mudhāharah (aid, assistance, victory) of the Mushrikūn and assisting them against the Muslims, and the evidence is the statement of the Most High:And whoever is an ally to them among you – then, indeed, he is (one) of them. Indeed, Allāh guides not the wrongdoing people. [Sūrah al-Mā’idah (5):51]”The ‘Allāmah, Ibn Hazm (d. 456 H) – rahimahullāh – said in al-Muhallā (5/419): “The Most High said:And prepare for them what you can of power and steeds of war by which you may the enemy of Allāh and your enemy. [Sūrah al-Anfāl (8):60]So He made terrorizing them an obligation upon us. Therefore, whoever assisted them with what is carried to them then he has not terrorized them. Nay, he has assisted them in sin and transgression.”http://www.tibyan.com/download.php?id=58

The Verdict Regarding the One Who Defensively Argues on Behalf of the TāghūtBy the imprisoned Shaykh, the MujāhidShaykh ‘Alī ibn Khudhayr Al-Khudhayr FakkAllāhu Asrah(May Allāh hasten his release from the prisons of the Tāghūt)At-Tibyān PublicationsQuestion:“There is a certain individual who defends (in arguments) the Tawāghīt day and night, and the Hujjah (evidence) has been established upon him dozens of times – yet he makes excuses for the actions of the Tawāghīt.So what is the ruling regarding such an individual?”Shaykh ‘Alī Al-Khudhayr (may Allāh hasten his release) answered: If these Tawāghīt are kuffār (in his eyes, meaning) that their kufr has been established – and he views them as kuffār – and then yet he defends them: Then he is a kāfir just like them. As Allāh (Most High) has said:وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ “And those who disbelieve are allies to one another…” [Al-Anfāl: 73]And because his action of defending them, is Tawallī (alliance) with them. And Allāh has said:وَكَذَلِكَ نُوَلِّي بَعْضَ الظَّالِمِينَ بَعْضاً بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ“And thus We do make the Thālimīn (polytheists and wrongdoers) Awliyā’ (supporters and helpers) one to another, because of that which they used to earn.” [Al-An’ām: 129]And He (Most High) has also said:وَإِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُتَّقِينَ“Verily, the Thālimīn (polytheists and wrongdoers) Awliyā’ (supporters and helpers) one to another, but Allāh is the Walī (Helper, Protector) of the Muttaqīn.” [Al-Jāthiyah: 19]But on the other hand: If he thinks that the rulers are upon Islām, or reality of their situation is in doubt – Then as long as you continue to give him your sincere advice and admonishment, then you have fulfilled your obligations.But, if he thinks they are not upon kufr, but he is aware of their oppression and betrayal, and yet argues in their defense – then for him is the Statement of Allāh (Most High):وَلا تُجَادِلْ عَنْ الَّذِينَ يَخْتَانُونَ أَنفُسَ“And argue not on behalf of those who deceive themselves.” [An-Nisā’: 107]And:وَلا تَكُنْ لِلْخَائِنِينَ خَصِيماً“So be not a pleader for the treacherous.” [An-Nisā’: 105]And:رَبِّ بِمَا أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ فَلَنْ أَكُونَ ظَهِيراً لِلْمُجْرِمِينَ “My Lord! For that with which You have favoured me, I will never more be a helper for the Mujrimūn (criminals,polytheists, sinners, etc.)!” [Al-Qasas: 17]

35 Statements From the Salaf Regarding Sincerity1 - Bishr al-Haafi said: "That I seek the world with a wind instrument is more beloved to me than that I seek it with my Deen." 2 - Ibraaheem an-Nakha'i said: "When Shaytaan comes to you while you are in prayer and says: 'You are showing off,' make it longer."3 - One of the Salaf said: "Direct me to an action by which I will never cease to be performing for Allaah the Exalted." It was said to him: "Always intend good, because you will never cease to be performing even if you do not perform any actions. The intention is made even in the absence of any actions. Whoever intended to pray at night and then slept, the reward for what he intended will be written for him."4 - One of them said: "I love that I have an intention for every single thing; even my eat, drink and sleep." 5 - It was said to Sahl: "What is the hardest thing for the soul (to achieve)?" He said: "Sincerity, when there is no other desire in it."6 - Ya'qoob al-Makfoof said: "The sincere person is the one who hides his good deeds just like he hides his evil deeds." 7 - One of them wrote to his brother: "Make your intention sincere in all of your actions, and little action will suffice you." 8 - Ayyoob as-Sakhtiyaani said: "Purifying the intention is harder than all other actions for those who act." 9 - Yahyaa bin Mu'aadh said: "Sincerity separates good actions from faults like the separation of milk from dung and blood."10 - as-Soosi said: "What Allaah desires from the actions of His creation is sincerity and nothing else."11 - al-Junayd said: "To Allaah belong servants who understand, and when they understand they act, and when they act they make their actions sincere. Their recalling of sincerity at the time of doing righteousness is what accumulates the greatest good for them." 12 - Hawshab used to cry and say: "My name has reached the large Mosque (meaning, the people will know who I am)!"13 - as-Soosi said: "Sincerity is to lose the vision of sincerity in oneself."14 - One of them said: "Whoever sees sincerity in his sincerity, his sincerity is itself in need of sincerity. The destruction of every sincere person lies in his sincerity to the extent that he sees sincerity in himself. When he abandons seeing sincerity in himself he will be sincere and purified." 15 - Abu 'Uthmaan said: "Sincerity is to forget about the creation by constantly looking at the Creator (in terms of gaining admiration for your deeds)."16 - Ibraaheem bin Adham said: "The one who loves fame is not truthful to Allaah."17 - Sufyaan ath-Thawri said: "They (the Salaf) used to hate fame and reputation due to wearing nice garments because eyes would stretch towards them." 18 - Na'eem bin Hammaad said: "'Abdullaah ibn al-Mubaarak frequently used to sit in his house for long periods of time, so it was said to him: 'Don't you feel lonely and isolated?' He said: 'How can I feel isolated while I am with the Prophet (saw)?'." 19 - Ja'far bin Hayyaan said: "The foundations of these actions are the intentions. Indeed a man reaches with his intentions a position he does not reach with his actions." 20 - One of the people of wisdom used to say: "When a man is speaking in a gathering and his speech amazes him, let be silent. When he keeps silent and his silence amazes, him let him speak." 21 - Mutraf bin 'Abdullaah ash-Shakheer said: "That I spend the night sleeping and wake up remorseful is more loved to me than that I spend the night standing in prayer and wake up in admiration."22 - an-Nu'maan bin Qays said: "I never saw 'Abeedah performing any voluntary prayers in the mosque of al-Hayy."23 - 'Ali said: "The one who shows off has three charactersistics: he is lazy when by himself, he is lively and energetic when with others and he increases in his actions when he is praised and decreases in them when he is criticised." 24 - al-Hasan said: "The one who shows off desires to overcome what Allaah has decreed for him. He is an evil person who desires to inform the people that he is righteous in order to hear what they would say. He has obtained a position of vileness and wickedness from his Lord. It is therefore essential for the hearts of the believers to recognise him." 25 - Sahl bin 'Abdullaah said: "There is nothing which is tougher upon the soul than acheiving sincerity. How many times have I tried to remove the inclination to show off from my heart except that it sprouted in a different colour?" 26 - Ibn Mas'ood said: "Do not learn knowledge for three reasons: to amaze and confound the foolish, to argue with the learned and to make people's faces turn towards you. Rather, seek what is with Allaah with your hearts and actions, since only that will remain and whatever is besides it will go." 27 - Abu Sulaymaan ad-Daarini said: "Glad tidings for the one who took a single step desiring nothing but the face of Allaah by it."28 - Some of the Salaf said: "Whoever had a single instance in his lifetime which was purely and sincerely for the sake of Allaah - the Exalted - will be saved, and this is due to the greatness of sincerity."29 - Abu Sulaymaan ad-Daarini said: "When the servant is sincere, the inclination to show off and the many whisperings (of the Devils) are cut off from him." 30 - It has also been said: "Sincerity is that the servants inward and outward actions are equal. Riyaa' is when the outward appearance is better than the inner self and truthfulness in one's sincerity is when the inner self is better cultivated and more flourishing than the outward appearance." 31 - Some of the Salaf have said: "Sincerity is that you do not seek a witness over your action besides Allaah or one who gives reward besides Him." 32 - Makhool said: "Never does a servant maintain sincerity for forty days in succession except that the streams of wisdom from his heart appear on his tongue." 33 - 'Adiyy ibn Haatim said: "The people destined for the Fire will be ordered towards Paradise until they come close to it and smell its fragrance, see its palaces and what Allaah has prepared in it for its people. Then an announcement will be made that they be turned away from it. There will be no portion for them in it. They will return in loss and ruin just like the ones before them. Then they will say: 'O our Lord! If you had entered us into the Fire before You showed us what You have shown us from Your reward and what You have prepared for your friends and allies, it would have been easier upon us.' Then the Exalted will say: 'This is what I intended with you. When you used to be alone you would combat me (or show boldness to Me) with grave sins and when you used to meet people you would meet them with humility. You would show to the people other than that which you used to give Me from your hearts. You feared people but you did not fear Me. You honored the people but you did not honor Me, you abandoned actions for the people but you did not abandon them for Me. This day, will I make you taste a tormenting punishment as well as prevent you from receiving that reward." 34 - It has been said: "The damage caused to every servant lies in his being pleased with himself. Whoever looks at his soul and sees something in it which he deems to be good has caused its destruction. And whoever does not suspect his soul at every single moment is one who is deceived." 35 - Ibn al-Qayyim said: "Sincerity is the unification of one's wish and intent."[Collected by Shaykh Husayn al-'Awaa'ishah from 'Ihyaa' 'Uloom ud-Deen' of al-Ghazaali, 'Mukhtasar Minhaaj ul-Qaasideen' of Ibn Qudaamah and 'az-Zuhd' of 'Abdullaah Ibn al-Mubaarak]

Correct Opinion on Ibn Baz, Uthaymin, Albani <hr style="COLOR: rgb(158,157,157)" size="1" />The following was between al-Muwahhid and some of the brothers on a different site.----------------------------Those who call the Shuyookh "Murtaddeen" and declare Baraa'ah from them--- Bring us who your Salaf are in these matters.And hold your tongues from the skins of the 'Ulamaa who have already passed onto their Ilaah. And please take heed.1 ) The Shaykh, the Mujaahid, the Shaheed Yoosuf al-'Uyayree (ra) called the man you called a murtadd, and disaccosiated from: "The Noble Shaykh, Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen MAY ALLAAH PRESERVE HIM". http://www.tawhed.ws/r?i=7992) Shaykh 'Alee ibn Khudhayr al-Khudhayr (may Allaah hasten his release from the prisons of the Tawaagheet) The Shaykh says MAY ALLAAH HAVE MERCY UPON HIM after mentioned Ibn Baaz.http://www.tawhed.ws/r?i=5503) Shaykh Naasir al-Fahd (may Allaah hasten his release from the prisons of the Tawaagheet) Regarding Shaykh 'Abdul-Azeez ibn Baaz (ra) [In a chapter he defends the Shaykh]http://www.tawhed.ws/r?i=8384) Shaykh Aboo Qattaadah al-Filasteenee (may Allaah hasten his release from the prisons of the Tawaagheet) On Shaykh al-Albaanee (ra).http://www.tawhed.ws/r?i=13525) And finally, the Fatwaa of the Mujaahid Shaykh, Aboo Muhammad al-Maqdisee (may Allaah hasten his release from the prisons of the Tawaagheet).http://www.tawhed.ws/r?i=109===No doubt these Shuyookh (al-Albaanee , Ibn Baaz, al-'Uthaymeen) had many errors in there Fataawaa- but let us follow what the our Salaf (the 5 Shuyookh mentioned above, and many more) with regards to our position towards them. Remember the Truth is the middlepath--- not like Madaakhilah making taqleed of them, nor making takfeer of the Shuyookh. We take the good, and throw away the evil. Go ahead and refute , with Daleel, the error and mistakes of the Shuyookh, but do not talk about matters in which those more knowledgeable (like the 5 mentioned above) have not delved into.And if these Shuyookh are not enough- then let us hear this statement of Ibn Taymiyyah (ra):Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (ra) narrates from Imaam ‘Abdullaah Ibn al-Mubaarak and Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal that they said, “If the people disagree (ikhtilaaf) regarding anything, then look at what the Mujaahidoon say- since the Truth is with them; because Allaah says, “As for those who wage Jihaad in Us (for Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our Paths.” al-‘Ankaboot: 69. Refer to Majmoo’ al-Fataawaa (28/442).And do you know what the Mujaahideen of Sheeshaan called Shaykh Ibn Baaz (ra): Imaam as-Sunnah. And i wonder what Shaykh Aboo 'Umar as-Sayf of Sheeshaan would say to you when you call his Shaykh a "murtadd". So let us hold our tongues, for the Sake of Allaah.Just a Naseehah for my dear Brothers in Tawheed. May Allaah forgive me my mistakes.---The Imprisoned Imaam, Aboo Muhammad al-Maqdisee , may Allaah hasten his release from prison, said inhttp://tawhed.ws/r?i=82his book in Q & A:كما جرى معي في باكستان فقد كانت موجة تكفير ابن باز واضرابه من علماء الحكومات على أشدها .. وكانت مجموعة من غلاة المكفرة يمتحنون الناس بهذه المسألة فمن كفر ابن باز تركوه ومن لم يكفره كفروه وكفروا من لم يكفره وهكذا ..And all the Ghullaat Mukaffirah (Extremist Takfeerees) used to test (ask) the people regarding this Mas'alah. So whosoever did takfeer on Ibn Baaz, they left him alone; and whosoever didn't do takfeer on him, then they pronounced that person as a kaafir- and also whosoever didn't do takfeer on that person, they would perform takfeer on him.==And put this together with what he said earlier- that it is NOT Halaal to do takfeer of them.And on Shaykh al-Albaanee (ra), when asked if he does takfeer on him; he replied in these strong words:فلم يصدر مني يوماً من الأيام تكفيره لا قولاً ولا كتابة"There has never emanated from me in even a single day, any takfeer on him (al-Albaanee)- not in a single statement, nor in a single writing."then please read this also:http://tawhed.ws/r?i=150Shaykh Aboo Muhammad al-Maqdisee (fa) says regarding Ibn Baaz (ra) and al-Albaanee (ra).بالنسبة لعدم تكفير المشايخ المذكورين للطواغيت ، فالظاهر أنه اجتهاد خاطئ منهم"And with relation to the mentioned Shuyookh not performing Takfeer on the Tawaagheet- what is apparent is that it was an incorrect ijtihaad from them."فلا نستحل تكفيرهم لمجرد خطئهم هذا، ومن قوّلنا غير ذلك فقد افترى علينا"We do not make permissible (istihlaal) making takfeer on them for merely this mistake of theirs. And whosoever says other than this from us (regarding our position) - then they have fabricated a lie against us."And this is the position of Shaykh al-Maqdisee. If you read the opinions of al-Khudhayr and al-Fahd, and many of Imaams of the Muwhahideen- then you would hear praise of the Shuyookh and even more defense.Shaykh Aboo Qattaadah (may Allaah hasten his release from the prisons of the Tawaagheet) said: "And Shaykh Naasir (ad-Deen al-Albaanee) opposes us, but we do not do takfeer upon him; may Allaah save us from being Khawaarij."(Shaykh Aboo Qattaadah said this here: http://www.tibyanpubs.com/forums/in...p?showtopic=799 )So this is what the extremist takfeerees say regarding Ibn Baaz/'Uthaymeen/Albaanee- and you also see what the people of 'Ilm say.Lets compare what those who slander the 3 Shuyookh, with what people who have tasted 'Ilm say regarding the 3 Shuyookh:the imprisoned Shaykh Aboo Muhammad al-Maqdisee (fakkAllaahu asrah) said in http://www.tawhed.ws/r?i=109This is how the Shaykh began his answer when he was asked the QUESTION :"Will scholars like Shaykh Ibn Baaz leave the Ummah upon misguidance?"And the Shaykh, the Haneef, the Mujaahid, Aboo Muhammad al-Maqdisee (fa) answered:"فاعلم بارك الله فيك أنا لم نؤمر أن نشق عن قلوب الناس ولا أن ننبش عن نواياهم ولم نشتغل يوما قط في قصد ابن باز أوغيره من المشايخ ودوافعهم القلبية في اجتهاداتهم التي خالفناهم وخطأناهم فيها .. وإنما يهمنا من ذلك كله التنبيه على الخطأ الظاهر والضلال البين والانحراف الواضح الذي قد يغتر به الشباب ""Know! May Allaah bless you: We were not ordered to split open the hearts of people, nor were we ordered to escavate for their intentions. And we have never ever in even a single day pondered over the intention of Ibn Baaz or those Shuyookh similar to him, nor for their internal motives in their Ijtihaads which we have opposed and taken them as mistaken with regards to it. Rather, the only thing which we are interested in, is to point out these apparent mistakes and clear misguidance, and obvious astrayness which could decieve the Youth.”And then he goes onto say, after pointing out the mistakes of the Shuyookh:فليس الخلاف في ذلك ونحن لم نطعن قط في نوايا هؤلاء المشايخ ولا تعرضنا لمفاصدهم القلبية أو لخفايا نفوسهم أو زعمنا فساد إراداتهم أودوافعهم القلبية ؛ بل على العكس فنحن نصرح دوما بأن المتتبع لحال هؤلاء المشايخ يعرف زهدهم في الدنيا وعدم حرصهم عليها مع كونها كانت مبذولة لهم ميسرة بين أيديهم ؛ وأنا أعرف هذا وأتكلم فيه عن معرفة بأحوالهم ؛ فأنا لم أكن بعيدا عنهم في أول التوجه والطلب فقد حضرت كثيرا من مجالسهم ودروسهم شأني في ذلك كشأن أكثر من نشأ في هذا العصر نشأة سلفية فمكثت مدة في عنيزة وحضرت كثيرا من دروس الشيخ ابن عثيمين واطلعت عن قرب على أحواله وزهده وإنفاقه وكذا الشيخ ابن باز فقد حضرت كثيرا من مجالسه في بيته وفي غير بيته ولم تمنعنا مخالفتهم في فتاواهم المتعلقة في طواغيت الحكام وما إلى ذلك من الشهادة لهؤلاء المشايخ بالزهد في الدنيا بل والعلم في أكثر أبواب الدين وكذا الانفاق ومساعدة الناس والحرص على الخير للمسلمين فليس هذا موضع خلاف عندنا كما أننا لم نتكلم قط على النوايا ولا تعرضنا لما في الصدور؛ فهذا نكله لمن يعلم السر وأخفى سبحانه وتعالى وإنما كلامنا دوما منحصر فيما يظهر لنا من أعمال أو فتاوى وأقوال ؛ وهكذا أمرنا في أحكام الدنيا "The disagreement is not there (i.e. not staying silent regarding the mistakes of the Shuyookh just because they had good intention). Rather, we have never made any accusation upon the intentions of these Shuyookh, nor have we pondered over their internal motives, or what is hidden in their souls- Nor have we claimed that their desires and internal motives were evil/corrupt.Rather- The OPPOSITE. We have always made clear that one who follows the situation of these Shuyookh, he will realize their absistence (ZUHD) from the world, and their lack of desire for it, EVEN THOUGH it was laid in front of them, easily in reach of their hands. And I (Aboo Muhammad al-Maqdisee) know this, and I speak regarding him (Ibn Baaz and similar Scholars) from KNOWING their situations. I was not far from them in my seeking of Knowledge, for I indeed attended many of their gatherings and lessons. My affair in this was similar to most of those who grew in this Era, a growth of Salafiyyah. And I resided in 'Unayzah for a period of time, and I attended many of the duroos/lessons of ash-Shaykh al-'Uthaymeen, and I saw his conditions very closely, and his Zuhd (absistence), and his charities. And likewise, ash-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, for indeed I attended many of his gatherings, inside his house and outside of it. And our opposition to their Fataawaa regarding the Tawaagheet Rulers and such does NOT PREVENT us from giving TESTIMONY to the ZUHD, absistence from the world, of these Shuyookh- and even their 'Ilm in most of the matters of Deen, and similarly their givingness and their assisting mankind, and their encouraging Muslims upon Khayr [goodness]. So this is not the matter of difference with us; Just as we have never ever spoken regarding the intentions (of these Shuyookh), nor have we delved into their breasts- Rather, we leave that to the One Who knows the Hidden and Subtle, Glory is to Him and High is He. Rather, our words are always stopped at whatever is apparent and external to us."

The Tawhīd of Action“At-Tawhīd Al-‘Amalī”Segment of a speech given by the martyred Shaykh of the MujāhidīnImām ‘Abdullāh ‘Azzām(May Allāh have mercy upon him)http://www.tibyan.com/publication.php?id=96

When the Jihâd is for the Sake of AmericaBy the Shaykh Nâsir al-Fahd (may Allâh hasten his release)Translated by: At-Tibyân PublicationsIn the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most MercifulAll Praise is for Allâh, and may Peace and Blessings be upon the Messenger of Allâh. As for what follows:So, we have heard recently the news of the Jihâd and the increase in armed resistance against the Crusaders in the Lands of the Two Rivers (al-‘Irâq), and following that, we came to know of the stance of the country known as Saudi Arabia regarding this resistance and its criminalizing any support for it.And in this document, I do not wish to provide the evidences for the legislation of this Jihâd and assisting it, as this is a whole other issue. Rather, I want to expose the hypocrisy of this state by giving a quick comparison between its stance regarding the previous Afghân Jihâd against the Russians, and the present Jihâd in ‘Irâq and Afghânistân against the Americans.First:The Russians came with a massive military campaign, during which they targeted the lands of the Afghâns (only), and installed a government that was subservient to them. Whereas, the Americans came with a massive military campaign in which they targeted the lands of the Afghâns as well as the land of ‘Irâq, and installed in them those who are subservient to them, and the Saudi government did not recognize the government of the Russians in Afghânistân, but it recognized the governments of America in Afghânistân and ‘Irâq.Second:The Saudi government encouraged the Afghân Mujâhidîn and supported them materially and morally, while it painted the Mujâhidîn in ‘Irâq as criminals and warned against supporting them. Rather, it made support of them to be a crime even if this support consisted simply of Qunoot and supplication for them!Third:The Saudi government let the Mashâyikh and the scholars to support the Afghân Jihâd and to issue fatâwâ in its favor, while it has now outlawed any fatwâ regarding the Jihâd in ‘Irâq. Rather, it has made the scholars issue verdicts that outlaw and forbid any participation in it.Fourth:The Saudi government assisted the youth in going to the Jihâd in Afghânistân, and lightened their (financial) burden of going by over 75%, while it outlawed going to the Jihâd in ‘Irâq, and whoever did this and fell into their clutches, then his destination would be the depths of prison!Fifth:The Saudi government hosted the leadership of the Jihâd in Afghânistân and allowed them to give lectures in their land, while it joined the Crusaders in hunting down the leadership of the Jihâd in ‘Irâq.And the overall conclusion that can be drawn from this quick comparison is that when the Jihâd in Afghânistân was against the enemies of America, and served the interests of America, it was considered, according to the Saudi government, to be Jihâd for the Sake of Allâh, and it was allowed for the Mashâyikh to issue rulings regarding it, and material and moral support of it. And whoever participated in it from the youth was presented with that which would facilitate his going there, and he was referred to as a ‘Mujâhid’!And when the Jihâd now in Afghânistân and ‘Irâq is against America and against the interests of America, it is 'terrorism' and 'extremism' and its people are hunted and killed. And whoever supports them with a fatwâ or with wealth is imprisoned - let alone those who support them with men – and it is not allowed for the scholars to issue fatâwâ regarding it. Rather, it is the opposite: they are to issue verdicts forbidding anyone from going to ‘Irâq and that the actions that take place there are ‘terrorist’ acts, not Jihâd.So, the issue is very clear, and it is: that this (Saudi) state does not know of Jihâd or anything else for the sake of Allâh. Rather, it only knows Jihâd for the sake of America. So what the Crusaders allow, it (the Saudi government) allows and supports; and what the Crusaders don’t allow, then they don’t allow either. And Allâh is Controlling of His Affairs, even if the disbelievers hate that.(Sidenote: So, its support of the Afghân Mujâhidîn in the past was because of that serving American interests in the region, just as in the 1980s (during the Reagan administration), the Saudi state supported the Contra rebels in Nicaragua – as the American president himself embarrassed them by exposing this – because the revolution there served the interests of America. Otherwise, both sides of that conflict were disbelievers, the region is empty of resources and there was no interest for the Muslims in that war. Rather, it was Jihâd for the sake of America!!)

The Hadīth of Slaughter: Laqad Ji’tukum Bith-ThabhTranslated by Shaykh ‘Abdus-Salām Ash-Shāmī for At-Tibyān PublicationsYa’qūb said, my father told us from Ibn Is’hāq, who said Yahyā ibn ‘Urqah ibn az-Zubayr told me from his father from ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr al-‘Ās, who said:I said to him, “What is the worst act of enmity that the Quraysh had done against the Messenger of Allāh?” He replied, “I went to Al-Hijr one day, and their dignitaries were there talking about the Messenger of Allāh…So they said, “We never tolerated a man like the way we did Muhammad… He has mocked our elders, cursed our forefathers, criticized our religion, divided our community, and attacked our gods! We indeed have been very patient with him regarding a grave matter.”While they were at that state, the Messenger of Allāh (salutations and blessings be upon him) came walking to Ar-Rukn. Then he went around the Ka’bah (making Tawāf three times). When he passed by them, they started to mock him by repeating some of his (own) sayings. I looked at the Prophet and could see the anger in his face. And when he passed by them the second time, they mocked him again, and I saw the anger in his face (once more)- then he walked (away). Then when he passed by them for the third time and they had mocked him again – the Prophet (salutations and blessings be upon him) replied:تسمعون يا معشر ‏ ‏قريش ‏ ‏أما والذي نفس ‏ ‏محمد ‏ ‏بيده ‏ ‏لقد جئتكم بالذبح“O people of Quraysh! Hear this: By Him in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad- I have come to you, to slaughter you.”His words struck them so severely, that there wasn’t any man from amongst them, except it was as if there was a bird falling upon his head (i.e. they were shocked, terrorized, and dumbfounded) – such that even the one who was the most wickedly harsh against the Prophet before this, was saying the most kind and tender words he could think of; such that even one of them said, “O Abul-Qāsim (Muhammad): Go! Go, O righteous one! Indeed, By Allāh, you are not ignorant!” So the Messenger of Allāh left.The next day, they gathered together to meet at Al-Hijr and I was with them. They asked each other, “Do you remember what he said to you, and what you said to him? To such a degree, that he manifested to you that which you hate, yet you let him go!” So when they were in this state, the Messenger showed up again. So they all immediately surrounded him, and interrogated, “Are you the one who is mocking our gods and our religion?” The Prophet replied, “Yes. I am the one who says these things.”I saw one of them (beginning to) pull the garment of the Prophet, but Abū Bakr jumped and stood between them and him. While crying, Abū Bakr said, ‏أتقتلون رجلا أن يقول ‏ ‏ربي الله“Would you kill a man because he says: My Lord is Allāh” ? [Ghāfir: 28]Upon that, they left him.

If someone makes dua for a kafir to be victorious isn't he leaving the decision to accept or reject that dua to Allah(swt)? Versus' someone who directly goes and takes the matter into there hand and votes to give victory to a certian kafir? Isn't there a distinction to be made in these two actions?
