Question regarding the removal of Apostate rulers
Abu Hamza Al-Misri
Question: As-Salaamu alaikum warahmatullaah wabarakaatu my dear Sheikh Abu Hamza. Sheikh, there are brothers who wanted to ask you a question regarding the removal of Apostate rulers, they ask that it is known that we must remove these Murtaddeen because of their lack of implementation of Sharee'ah in our countries however, some of the puppets from corrupt organizations such as "Salafee" Publications claim that it is haraam for us to fight them because even Imam Ahmad (rahimahullaah) did not fight the rulers of his time when they committed big Kufr by claiming that the Qur'aan was a creation. And he was tortured by the government of his time but never fought them. So the question sheikh is, can you please shed us some light on this point of confusion and how we go about this argument. Barakallaahu feekum and may Allah give you victory Wassalaam alaikum warahmatullaah wabarakaatu. Your brother in Islaam.
Answer: Salaam Alaikum my dear brother. The answer to that is very simple Inshallah; if our rulers kind of bid'aa was similar to the leaders of imam Ahmed (rahimahullaah) I would be the first to urge people not to fight them; because their bid'aa had Taweel (interpretations from the Qur’an itself ) even though it was very week to use in their argument; they understood Ayat such as; “Allah is the creator of everything” to prove that the Qur’an was created!.
Add to that Imam Ahmed (rahimahullaah) considered: their strict application to Shariah, defending and fighting for the honor of Muslims worldwide, and the fact that their bidaa dilemma does not affect any of the shariah laws and can only be solved and exposed through evidences and debates. Also many, as well as themselves saw their bid’aa, as a sign of respect to Allah and The Qur’an.
One wonders what evidence do our rulers have from the Qur’an for: changing the Shariah, making the greatest haram matters (usury...) available and protected by their fabricated laws and guns, killing Muslims for favors of Kafirs, helping kufaars against Muslims and the rest of the kufr list.
Certainly the brilliants of Imam Ahmed (rahimahullaah) students have compared and analyzed the situation of their imam with his rulers and their situation under the rulers who change even little of the shariah; the verdict was to fight the evil rulers to death or to full Islam and shariah law. One of the most intelligent and militant amongst the followers of Imam Ahmed (rahimahullaah) was Shiekh ul Islam Ibn Tymia (rahimahullaah); he has issued a fatwa against these kind of evil rulers and their evil scholars. Furthermore, he himself practiced his fatwa when the Mongols said the Shahada and surround themselves with scholars but applied a mixed laws for the land.
The Sheikh fought them, provoked against them, even said (rahimahullaah),; “If you see me amongst them kill me even with the Holy Qur’an on my head”.
However, even if these great scholars did not fight, for one reason or another, what shall we do with all these great Ayat in the Qur’an urging Muslims to fight until the whole of the Deen (Shariah dominance) is for Allah? Would they dare to say to Allah we followed our leaders and we ignored your commands! Surely those are the losers indeed; particularly those who ask everyone for their evidence but when it comes to them they turn away from all the clear Ayat saying without sham that they are happy to follow a man blindly! And hinder Allah’s path to favor their evil leaders and their scholars! May Allah give them guidance before it is too late for them!
Meanwhile, my dear sons do not waste your time with them; they have no mission but the one we all know. Try to increase your knowledge, your Ibadat, dawa efforts as well as enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong, cooperate with good Muslims and be patience in cause of Allah.
The following are two fatwas of Shiekh ul Islam Ibn Tymia rh; regarding these kind of evil rulers and their evil scholars, which I have included in my book Allah's Governance on Earth. Read them, spread them around and ask the sincere Muslims to apply what they can of them.
We give below an important fatwa by Shaikhul Islam, Ahmad ibn taimiyyah (may Allah
have mercy on him), who was the mentor of Muslim jurists not only of his time but also of those who came later on. In his Al-Fatawa Al- Misriya, volume 4, in the chapter on Al-Jihad, he observed:
”We say that any group who departs from any of the apparent indisputable laws of Islam that have been (handed down from generations to generations of Muslims without any interruption), then it is incumbent to fight against such a group according to the consensus of Muslim imams (Ijma), even though they recite the two testimonies. So if they recite the two shahadas (testimonies) but abstain from observing five daily prayers they must be fought against until they offer prayers, and if they abstain from paying zakzah, it is incumbent upon All Muslims to fight them until they start paying zakah. Similarly, if they abstain from the fasting of Ramadan or pilgrimage to the oldest House of Allah or refuse to prohibit the abominations or adultery or gambling or drinking and other things forbidden by the Islamic Shariah; or if they refuse to enforce the laws of The Qur’an and sunnah pertaining to life, property, honor, management of affairs and other such things; or if they refrain from enjoining good, forbidding evil, and fighting the disbelievers until they embrace Islam or pay jizyah in submission.
Likewise, if they introduce innovations in religion contrary to the teachings of the Qur'an and sunnah, and the practice of the righteous ancestors and imams of the community by, for in stake, blaspheming the names, signs, or attributes of Allah, or rejecting divine foreordainment or decree, or rejecting the manner in which the Muslim community behaved in the days of the rightly guided Caliphs, or slandering the foremost from among the emigrants (muhajirin) and the helpers (ansar) and those who followed in their footsteps faithfully; or if they fight the Muslims in order to force them to submit to them, abandoning the Islamic Shariah, and all other similar cases concerning which Allah says:
And fight them until there is no more persecution and all religion is for Allah only (Al-Anfal:39).
Thus in all such cases when religion is partly for Allah and partly for others, it is incumbent upon Muslims to fight until all religion is for Allah alone.”

The Evil That The Kuffar Do
Over forty years ago, a certain Doctor called Ewen Cameron experimented on over a hundred human beings – injecting them with hallucinogenic drugs, and subjecting them over long periods of time to total sensory deprivation. These were not willing, voluntary subjects, but individuals who were already suffering from mental health problems, and these unethical experiments – among many similar ones by other Doctors – were funded by the Amerikan CIA with the results of these experiments forming the basis of a CIA Interrogation Manual.
It was an up-dated version of this kaffir manual which was among those used by Amerikan interrogators at places like Guantanamo Bay, Bagram, and at the many secret interrogation centres where our brothers and sisters have been taken, by “extraordinary rendition”, to be humiliated and tortured by the kuffar and their apostate allies. In fact, there is a whole compound at Guantanamo Bay, named Delta Block, where Muslims who have been subjected to long-term total sensory deprivation, who have been injected with hallucinogenic and other drugs – often for years – are kept.
How many Muslims have been physically tortured by the kuffar and their allies? How many Muslims have been subjected to “extraordinary rendition”? How many have been humiliated, by the kuffar, and subjected to sensory deprivation? How many have been forcibly injected with drugs? How many have been experimented upon? Thousands upon thousands – tens of thousands, over a period of many years.
Were we to make a movie – a dramatisation – about the treatment of some Muslims at the hands of the agents of kaffir governments what would an un-biased viewer think and feel? What would they think and feel about a scene where a Muslim man is forcibly and brutally restrained by over seven Amerikan soldiers, his beard is shaved off, while those soldiers taunt him, laugh and say: “Where is your God now!” and he is then shackled, a hood placed over his head, and then injected with drugs, and lashed to the seat of an aircraft to be flown to an interrogation centre to be held for months in a small cell with no natural light, to be allowed out only briefly and then shackled, blindfolded, his ears covered with sound-blocking headphones, to be then taken at irregular intervals for intensive interrogation where sometimes loud music is played and where he and Deen Al-Islam and all that he loves is mocked? What would they think and feel about such a scene?
What would they think and feel about a scene where a group of heavily-armed Amerikan soldiers smash their way into a private house in the Land of the Two Rivers and drag everyone out, pushing them down onto the ground, with grinning Amerikan soldiers placing their boots on the necks of Muslim men and boys, and then hauling them up to place hoods over their heads and bind their hands behind their backs and take them away for days, weeks, months, of interrogation?
What would they think and feel about a scene where a group of CIA agents in broad-daylight kidnap a Muslim from the streets of a European city, restrain him, hood him inject him with drugs, transport him by secret flights to various interrogation centres where he is brutally interrogated and held in a dark cell for month after month after month and where he is told again and again that he has ceased to exist, that he is as good as dead?
What would they think and feel about a scene where Amerikan planes drop bombs and missiles on a village in Afghanistan, killing dozens of men, women and children, and then some Amerikan military officer lies at some Press Conference, claiming that the houses were occupied by “terrorists” – and then, at a later Press Conference, when confronted with graphic photographs of corpses and written statements by eye-witnesses, just announces that the deaths were “collateral damage”?
What would they think and feel about a scene where a group of Amerikan soldiers manning a checkpoint in the Land of the Two Rivers open fire on a car carrying a family – father, mother, children – killing them all, when the soldiers at first claim they only fired “warning shots”, then later claim they did shoot at the car but claimed it contained “terrorists”, and these stories of theirs are all backed-up by other Amerikan officials?
What would they think and feel about a scene where a group of Amerikan soldiers burst into a house, shoot some women dead, and drag a teenage girl into a room where she is repeatedly raped, then shot dead and her body set on fire?
What would they think and feel about a scene where a group of Amerikan soldiers guarding a Prison of Muslims consistently for months at time humiliate and abuse those Muslims, and laugh about such abuse and such humiliation, and take photographs which they share among themselves, and then officials of the Amerikan government say again and again that such abuse was not official policy even as their interrogation, their humiliation, their abuse and drugging of Muslims continues at places like Bagram and Guantanamo Bay, and even though their secret programme of “extraordinary rendition” continues?
What would they think and feel about a scene where a Muslim who has spoken in public in defence of his Muslim brothers and sisters is subject to a “dawn-raid” by dozens of Police Officers, arrested and thrown into a prison cell and then later asked to spy on his brothers and sisters or face spending years in prison?
Would the viewers of such a movie – such a dramatisation – not conclude that here is an unprincipled, unethical, hypocritical, arrogant, barbaric people behaving like a bully? Would the viewers of such a movie – such a dramatisation – not conclude that there is something seriously wrong with governments which condone and allow such things and who repeatedly, year after year, even deny such things are occurring and who instead spend billions upon billions of dollars on propaganda to persuade their own people that its leaders are “fine, upstanding people” and that when the brutalities of its soldiers and agents are discovered and made known these are only ever “isolated incidents”?
Would the viewers of such a movie – such a dramatisation – not conclude that here is real tyranny, real evil, at work in the world? And would they not wish to do something about this evil – about the evil the kuffar do and have done, year after year, decade after decade, century after century?
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala says:
“You shall soon be invited (to fight) against a people who are extremely arrogant; you will fight against them until they submit. And if you obey (in this), Allah will grant you an excellent reward, while if you turn away (from this) as you turned away before, He will punish you with a painful punishment.” 48: 16 Interpretation of Meaning
“Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day would not ask for permission to be exempted from fighting with their wealth and their lives, since they know that Allah knows all who are Al-Muttaqun. It is only those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, and in whose hearts is doubt, that would ask for such an exemption. For they in their doubt waver.” 9: 44-45 Interpretation of Meaning
“They [the kafiroon] want to extinguish Allah’s Light with their deceit, their lies, but Allah will never allow this – for His Light will be seen even though they the Kafiroon hate (it). For it is He Who has sent His Messenger to reveal the Way of truth, to make it triumph over all other Ways even though they, the Mushrikun, hate (it).” 9: 32-33 Interpretation of Meaning
“Haqq has been distinguished from Baatil – and those who renounce and denounce Taghut and then believe in Allah have grasped that trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks.” 2:256 Interpretation of Meaning
May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala protect us from all forms of Al-asabiyyah Al-Jahiliyyah, forgive us for our mistakes, and guide us to and keep us on the Right Path.

Does this sound like our time?
And from Zayd ibn Aslam, from his father, that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alayhi wa-sallam) said:
"Jihaad will remain fresh and green as long as raindrops fall from the sky. And there will come upon the people a time when Qur'aan reciters from among them will say: "This is not the time of Jihaad." So whoever comes to that time, then it is the best time for Jihaad."They said: "O Messenger of Allaah, would someone really say that?" He said: "Yes, the one whom Allaah has cursed, and the angels and all of mankind."
"Jihaad will remain fresh and green as long as raindrops fall from the sky.

Those to whom the people said: “Verily, the people have gathered against you a great army. So, fear them.” But it only increased them in faith, and they said: “Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.” So they returned with grace and bounty from Allah. No harm touched them, and they followed the good Pleasure of Allah, and Allah has great bounty. It is only Satan that suggests to you the fear of his allies. So, do not fear them, and fear Me if you are believers.”” Al ‘Imran; 173-175

Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing
Source: Anwar al Awlaki On-Line
08 Nov 2009 08:27 PM PST
Nidal Hassan is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people. This is a contradiction that many Muslims brush aside and just pretend that it doesn’t exist. Any decent Muslim cannot live, understanding properly his duties towards his Creator and his fellow Muslims, and yet serve as a US soldier. The US is leading the war against terrorism which in reality is a war against Islam. Its army is directly invading two Muslim countries and indirectly occupying the rest through its stooges.
Nidal opened fire on soldiers who were on their way to be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. How can there be any dispute about the virtue of what he has done? In fact the only way a Muslim could Islamically justify serving as a soldier in the US army is if his intention is to follow the footsteps of men like Nidal.
The heroic act of brother Nidal also shows the dilemma of the Muslim American community. Increasingly they are being cornered into taking stances that would either make them betray Islam or betray their nation. Many amongst them are choosing the former. The Muslim organizations in America came out in a pitiful chorus condemning Nidal’s operation.
The fact that fighting against the US army is an Islamic duty today cannot be disputed. No scholar with a grain of Islamic knowledge can defy the clear cut proofs that Muslims today have the right -rather the duty- to fight against American tyranny. Nidal has killed soldiers who were about to be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in order to kill Muslims. The American Muslims who condemned his actions have committed treason against the Muslim Ummah and have fallen into hypocrisy.
Allah(swt) says: Give tidings to the hypocrites that there is for them a painful punishment –
Those who take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do they seek with them honor [through power]? But indeed, honor belongs to Allah entirely. (al-Nisa 136-137)
The inconsistency of being a Muslim today and living in America and the West in general reveals the wisdom behind the opinions that call for migration from the West. It is becoming more and more difficult to hold on to Islam in an environment that is becoming more hostile towards Muslims.
May Allah grant our brother Nidal patience, perseverance and steadfastness and we ask Allah to accept from him his great heroic act. Ameen
