The Ignored Puzzle Pieces of Knowledge

About Us

We, the bloggers of inshallahshaheed (a.k.a., revolution), are a handful from amongst the Ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam) that follow Allah, His Messenger, and the Salaf as-Saalih (first 3 generations of Islaam) in ‘Aqeedah, Guidance, Knowledge, and Action. We are the followers of Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jama’ah (i.e., Sunni) and in this world of unfortunate labels, we are known as “Salafee Jihaadee”. More information can be found on this here.

One of the members of inshallahshaheed, Br. Samir Khan, was interviewed by the New York Times regarding this blog. The article and video can be accessed here. In addition, the Washington Times did a report on this blog which can be read here. Since then, many blogs such as mypetjawa, websites such as JihadWatch, and media outlets such as C-SPAN and FOX have reported on this blog and the so-called “danger” we present on the blog even though it is only a mix of true journalism with authentic religious knowledge. In our words, we expect this anger because these people are afraid of the truth and they are afraid of being exposed on different levels. On one of the media outlets, C-SPAN, they displayed the Congress showing their frustration over this blog. This video can be watched here. So our enemies are plenty and our supporters are plenty; and to Allah is the final return for judgment.

Our blog has been shutdown a numerous amount of times and we have vowed to continue keeping the blog up for the sake of Allah; we ask Allah, the Most High, to help us in this endeavor.

As for the purpose of this blog, it is as follows:

1. Reviving the love, spirit and knowledge of Jihaad fe Sabeelillaah since it is fard ‘ayn today and our leaders, scholars, and community members neglect it for various [unacceptable] reasons.

2. Informing the Muslims about our affairs in the battlefields from the perspective of the Mujaahideen.

3. Bringing glad tidings to the believers and enraging the enemy disbelievers (who attack Islaam and the Muslims with their weapons, tongues, wealth etc.).

Naturally, it is a blog geared towards Jihaad and there are not that many out there that are similar. We are not of those who believe Jihaad is the only thing this beautiful religion of Islaam is about; rather, this noble religion is about many other things and is perfect for mankind to follow as it is the ultimate and final guidance. Islaam is more complete than any religion and more complete than any system as it offers the best solution to humankind.

Briefly, we will look at each of the aforementioned points:

1. Reviving the love, spirit and knowledge of Jihaad fe Sabeelillaah since it is fard ‘ayn today and our leaders, scholars, and community members neglect it for various [unacceptable] reasons.

Indeed, Jihaad with the weapon today against the fighting disbeliever and apostate is an individual obligation (fard ‘ayn) upon every single Muslim. We owe a lot to our classical Scholars who have explained this issue in-depth, and we owe even more to the contemporary Shaykh, ‘Abd Allah Yusuf ‘Azzaam, may Allah have mercy upon him, for making this issue as clear as day and night with his many works including his best fatwa, “In Defense of Muslim lands: the first obligation after Imaan.” And when the cowards and condemners (of Mujaahideen) of the Ummah are confronted with this fatwa, they bury their head in the sand. We ask Allah to let this fatwa continue to be the dagger in the throat of the disbelievers, apostates, and hypocrites.

As for our relation to reviving Jihaad, we turn to the Qur’aan and Sunnah. Allah, the Most High, says,

Then fight in the Cause of Allah, You are not tasked (held responsible) except for yourself, and incite the believers. (An-Nisaa’: 84)

The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wassallam) said:

“Wage Jihaad against the polytheists with your wealth, selves, and tongues.” (Ahmad & An-Nasaa’i reported it; Al-Haakim graded it Saheeh)

Because of the great sin of leaving an obligation which is fard ‘ayn, we decided to launch this blog to use it as our “tongue” against the disbelievers, apostates and hypocrites and show support for the Mujaahideen. Whenever Jihaad becomes fard ‘ayn, every Muslim must strive to support the Jihaad with whatever they have in order to avoid great humiliation on the Day of Judgment. We ask Allah to accept this effort of ours.

Secondly, we want to make the Muslims aware of Jihaad in general and the issues surrounding it. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wassallam, said:

“He who dies without having gone or thought of going out for an expedition (i.e., Jihaad), will die guilty of a type of Nifaaq [hypocrisy].” (Saheeh Muslim)

So if the Muslims are not interested in battling for the sake of Allah, then this is blatant Nifaaq, and we ask Allah to save all of us from this. And since the Government and its agents wish for the Muslims not to have such a mentality, we use this blog to strengthen the spirit of the Muslims against these wretched disbelievers who wish for us to follow a type of Islaam which they are pleased with; the type of Islaam which kisses the hand that slaps us.

In addition, our blog is used as a channel against those weak and cowardly Muslims who want to apologize for what the Mujaahideen are doing to the Kuffaar; and the most they will challenge the Government is when they ask them to stick to their fundamentals of “justice” and “human rights.” Instead of this weakness and child’s play, we, the supporters of the Mujaahideen worldwide, say to the Government:

“You are criminals, and you must pay the price for your crimes, ‘And honor belongs to Allah, His Messenger, and the Believers…’ (63:8) ‘Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease, their past will be forgiven. But if they return, then the example of those [punished] before them have already preceded. And fight them until there is no more fitnah and the religion will all be for Allah alone; but if they cease, then certainly, Allah is the All-Seer of what they do’.” (8: 38-9)

The Islaam which we desire and wish to see implemented on Allah’s earth is the Islaam of the Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam, and his Companions and their followers: the Islaam of Jihaad, martyrdom, purity of ‘Aqeedah, and ordering of good and forbidding of evil: the Islaam of confronting tyrants, thieves and traitors; the Islaam of motivating the Ummah to bear its arms and wage Jihaad in the path of its religion and in defense of its sanctities; an Islaam which doesn’t know currying favor with the thieving rulers, nor endearing oneself to America’s slave boys, nor flattering the Crusader West; the Islaam of speaking the truth, disloyalty to the Tawaagheet, and sacrificing everything dear in the path of lifting oppression from the oppressed, and liberating the lands of the Muslims. [excerpt from Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri - "The Power of Truth"]

2. Informing the Muslims about our affairs in the battlefields from the perspective of the Mujaahideen.

We attempt to bring to our readers the reality on the ground in the lands of Jihaad, and exposing the lies and deceptions of the disbelievers, hypocrites, and tyrannical Governments. In addition, we try our best to make ourselves a channel against the Western media since they deceive the Ummah on what Islaam is and what it obligates us to do. These wretched Kuffaar and the deceived Muslims who attempt to translate Islaam in words other than what was intended by the best of creation (i.e., Prophet Muhammad), his Creator, and those who followed the path of guidance (i.e., the first 3 generations or Salaf), are the fulfillment of the hadeeth regarding the last age, “the liar will be believed, and the truthful one will be disbelieved.”

3. Bringing glad tidings to the believers and enraging the enemy disbelievers (who attack Islaam and the Muslims with their weapons, tongues, wealth etc.).

Allah says,

Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, and heal the breasts of the Believers. And He will remove the anger of their hearts. Allah turns (in mercy) toward whom He wills. And Allah is the All-Knower, All-Wise. [at-Taubah: 14-15]

As the sons of Islaam are defending the religion from the disbelievers and apostates with the weapon, punishing and humiliating them with Allah’s help, gaining victories over them, they bring glad tidings to the Muslims and remove some of the rage from our hearts. They do this through their media departments and we do our best to bring this media to the English speaking audience to bring pleasure and happiness to the English speaking Muslims who have their allegiance to Allah and His Messenger.

Naturally, this will and has enraged the disbelievers of different types. If those disbelievers who are not fighting Islaam and the Muslims in any shape or form and respect the Muslims and their right to Jihaad against the occupiers are offended by this, then we tell them: we enrage our enemies because they have enraged us with their killing of our innocent Muslims, raping of our Muslim women, and destruction of our Muslim properties around the world. Your Government invades our lands in the name of “liberation” and establishes her corrupt system, spreads her filthy culture of pornography, use of alcohol, etc. and spreads her false religions. Your Government tortures both our freedom fighters and innocent Muslims in the prisons of Baghram, Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay and continues to lie to the world about her actions. Your Government openly hates Islaam because of its displeasure with the establishment of the Shari’ah upon the earth in its completion and they hate some of the symbols and obligations of Islaam such as Jihaad. Your Government also gives heavy support for state sponsored terrorism (i.e., Israel) which doesn’t distinguish between the helpless women, children, elderly of Palestine and the freedom fighters, and they have not an iota of shame in this. Your Government has also launched a massive propaganda machine against Islaam and the Muslims to make us conform to a Government-legislated Islaam that is absent of Shari’ah, Jihaad, Caliphate and so on. Because of all this and more, they only deserve our anger, disavowal, harshness and hatred until they come to the folds of Islaam and believe in Allah alone.

Every non-Muslim should be aware that the Muslims are a people of honor, dignity and respect. Our allegiance is to Allah and His Messenger and not to the nations, and we don’t smile and rush to hug and kiss our enemies when they kick us around like a soccer ball. Rather, we will rush with our banners of Tawheed (Monotheism; oneness of Allah) and speak the word of truth in front of the tyrants in order to show them who we are until we are killed upon submission to Allah. In Islaam, there is a time for mercy and forgiveness and then there’s a time for harshness and warfare.

Finally, for those who deny this blog and label it as some “CIA/FBI/Mi5 plot” for the purpose of “recruiting Muslims,” then we reject such utterly ridiculous statements for the one who does such a thing - who allies himself with the disbelievers against the Muslims - has become an Apostate in the eyes of Allah and the evidences for this are overwhelming from Ijmaa’ (consensus), Qur’aan, Sunnah, Salaf, Historical Fataawa, Qiyaas (analogical deduction), Students of Knowledge, and the Great Islaamic Scholars before us. An excellent Scholarly treatise done on this subject can be accessed here.

We say to such people who accuse us of this great Kufr, what the Shaykh, Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi (hafidhullaah) said:

“And that is why I tell the enemies of Allah during their interrogations of me, and during their offers and threats which they sometimes give me, attempting to win me over to collaborate with them and work with them; [I tell them]: It would be more realistic, and easier, if you were to collaborate with me rather than me collaborating and working with you. For I consider you as enemies, and as Kuffaar. And I declare you to be Kuffaar, and I also declare anyone who assists you against the Muslims, as Kuffaar also. So is it logical to think that I would work at a post, whose people I label as Kuffaar? And is it logical that I would collaborate with my enemies?

And even if I were to work with you, you could never pay me the payment which Allah has promised me if I fulfill my obligations towards Him, firm in patience and sincerity. And if you were to work with me, and you became Helpers of the Deen of Allah, then your payment, if you are sincere, is a Paradise, the width of which is the Heavens and the Earth. So what is your governments’ salaries and wages worth, in front of a Paradise the width of which is the Heavens and the Earth?

And if you were to work with me, you would be committing treason according to your terminology against your country. But this is something trivial, and is weightless in comparison to treason against Allah and His Deen. And the penalty sentenced by the country upon your treason, is nothing in front of the Torment of Allah which I will go through if I were to betray His Deen by working for you. Likewise, if you lose your country’s salary and wage, this is nothing in comparison to losing a Paradise, the width of which is the Heavens and the Earth. And that is the evident loss. This is why you working with me is more realistic, and easier, than me working with you.”

With this blog, we hope to achieve the renaissance and revival of what these evidences point towards - and this is a great Sunnah which the tyrants will continue to fight against till the Day of Reckoning - and we ask Allah to accept this small effort from us.
