Guidance for Perceiving Minds — Page 71
71 are nothing but preachers of the lowly world, even if they appear wearing a turban or a hat. This Jihad is nothing but a trap of destruction, which makes them laugh today and cry tomorrow. Will they slaughter the doers of good deeds with knives? Where is this commandment and in which guidance? Is this action permissible by the sound mind? Is it acceptable by the good nature? Rather, they clothed themselves with impudence, stripped of friendship, and supported the infi- dels in disdaining Islam, and helped them raising allegations and throw arrows [at it]. Islam will not [be irrigated by] the running water due the presence of these muj a hids. Rather, their presence is a disgrace to Islam and Muslims. All goodness lies in their death or they should be among the repentant. Will they kill people because they turn away from the judge- ment of the Gracious [God]? Even though, turning aside exists in themselves as they commit indecency, immorality and disobe- dience. So, how is it permissible for them to strike the necks of infidels, when they deserve to have their necks struck by a sharp sword, because they have been immoral and have chosen the life of the ungodly? If this type of Jihad was a religious necessity, then what is the meaning of saving these immoral ones? Why are their heads not cut off with sharp swords? Why are their flesh not torn with slic- ing knives? For they became disobedient after believing, so let muftis give a fatwa. Should these people be killed by the sword or spear? As the primary target of this jihad is the people who became disobedient after they converted to Islam, showed signs of apostasy, went beyond the limits of the commandments of the Furq a n, and broke a covenant they made before the Lord.
