A Muslim For The Sake Of The Disbelievers By Sheikh Anwar Al Awlaki

A Muslim For The Sake Of The Disbelievers By Sheikh Anwar Al Awlaki




From The Sheikhs Old blog:
I recently recieved this email from a brother:
“Aassalamualaikum sheikh. i loved your works, enjoyed and learned from them. i do desire to become one of the mujahideen but not as you describe. i desire to become a mujahid in da’wah and learning and believe this is the right path. I heard and read some of your views on what the muslims should do and belive them not to be true. i think you should review your works and when you find the true path, apologize about your previous works. jihad cant be the right path because this is a religion of peace and if we go around killing everyone, it would be wrong for us to call this religion a religion of peace. what the muslims should do is evacuate palistine and afghanistan and continue with the da’wah and the
rest is with ALLAH inshalah.”
Just like there is a Muslim for the sake of Allah, there is a new phenomenon of a Muslim for the sake of the disbelievers. And just like the Muslim for the sake of Allah does everything thinking what will Allah will think of me, the Muslim for the sake of the disbelievers does everything thinking what the disbelievers would think of him. So when a Muslim speaks out he does so to please Allah and when our other Muslim does not speak out he does so in order to please the disbelievers. When a Muslim fights he does so for the sake of Allah and when this other Muslim does not fight – even though he has every reason to do so – he does that in order not to displease the disbelievers. Obviously this is not expressed as such but is packaged in nice terms such as ‘this is not good for dawa’, or ‘this would turn away the people from Islam’.
Allah says: “It is not your responsibility to guide people but it is Allah who guides whomever He wills”
This Muslim is obsessed with his image in front of the disbelievers. He is so obsessed with it that it becomes his standard for wala and bara. So he loves the Muslims who present the ‘good boy’ image to the disbelievers and he despises the Muslims who give Muslims a ‘bad name’.
Rasulullah (saaws) says: “One of you does not achieve full Imaan until he loves for Allah, dislikes for Allah, gives for Allah and holds back for Allah.”
This Muslim is so aggressive and intolerant with his fellow Muslims but is tolerant and kind towards the disbelievers. He is an extremist with Muslims and a moderate with disbelievers.
Whenever the interests of the disbelievers are threatened or harmed by Muslims he is the first to jump to their defense. He would speak against his brothers and betray them. He may even advise Muslims to spy against one another and report to the authorities. For him fighting for Islam, and for the ummah is terrorism, but he manages to shop for a fatwa that would allow him to serve in the armies of the disbelievers and fight against his brothers. Being a Muslim for the sake of the disbelievers permeates his every action. If he meets a Muslim he frowns and if he meets a disbeliever his face beams with a smile.
Infact there are some Muslims who are so much Muslim for the sake of kuffar that they do not even like Muslims who call the kuffar kuffar!
I mentioned that this is a new phenomenon because this only came about in these later times. The Muslims of the early times would care less about the kuffar, and if they ever did it was for the sake of Allah and not for their sake.
But lets put things in proper perspective:
Allah says about the disbelievers: “They are like cattle, nay, they are even more misguided”
And Rasulullah says about the believer: “Tearing down al Kaaba stone by stone is less than shedding the blood of a Muslim”

thanks for this post Maiwand. What is the point of explaining the difference between the two types of Muslims?

[Catya Sher]

The pic didn't turn out, but the letter is so a propos for this Pashtun Forums, and in society at large.

I thought when I signed up that nearly all the Muslims and even maybe others would be against Israel, Jewish control of so much of the modern American system - not just the media but many, many angles - and that people here would sympathize Muslims all over the world, especially in trouble spots like Chechnya, Palestine, not to mention stand up for their own land, as well as neighboring Iran which has also taken a huge beating from Western powers of the moment.

But so many here and around the world do not seem to bothered at all.

This essay succinctly explains WHY.

I would like to understand the phenomenon even still better.

One angle I have noted here, as a start, is that the women over-emphasize education as a means to that corny fake word so beloved by Americans at large, "empowerment" - itself a narcissistic term.

One needs to be powerful as a SERVANT of Allah, not "cool" due to exuding some sort of much-wished for charisma so to gain worldly objects.
Or to attract people who seem important at the moment but will turn out to be mere transitory figures in one's life. This is the way of Western societies.
Friendships are shallow and fall apart over trifles. Why would you waste energy on those people when you could be using your time correctly for spiritual matters?
Or learning about the realities of the world, some of which are shown in these videos Maiwand has posted.

The women seem over-concerned with showing to listeners that Afghan women are NOT backward, or "un-empowered", and above all, are fierce fighters for women's rights.

I recommend a reconsideration in light of this reminder here.
Afghan-Americans or Afghan-whatever countries should be not needing to play to the Western mentality and implicitly seek the approval of Westerners.

I think there was too much programming they took in through American harping on these subjects or possibly absorbed this in school.

It's better to drop the facade, it's much more relaxing to be one's own self. Not catering to others consciously or subconsciously by being on stage all the time, portraying the image of a modern Afghan or Muslim woman. What if people were to think that you are one of those backward types? This "tape" seems to play through the brains of many of the secularists and others.

Same goes for any Muslim living in these societies. They should be themselves, not try to contort themselves to "fit in" with the expectations of Western mentalities.

I know someone who is always playing a role as a "holy" woman. She has all the props, talks the right way, and fools many people.
What I learned from her is that keeping up this "act" consumes SO MUCH energy that she has little left over for anything of real substance. Demons get into the picture and lead the the person farther and farther astrya.

Probably the demons are getting into the tepid, West-pleasing Muslims who would rather have the US or Russia in Afghanistan than have true Islamic rulers.

I know the word Islamic is in the country's title right now.
But it's not remotely anything related to Islam. It's a West-ocracy ruling, instead.

So to kick out the demons in oneself, one has to learn to stand up and be authentic. One would free up volumes of energy too, as a side benefit, to use for good.

HE HOUSE NEGRO AND THE FIELD NEGRO

[Maiwand]

We see not only these types of "muslims", but we have also "muslim" governments who love the White House more than the Kaaba. They are eager to implement the laws of America (secularism, democracy), instead of the laws of Allah (subhanallah wa taallah). They will kill and imprison their own citizens and muslims who are saying the truth, in order to please the West. They will treat Westerners better than their own countrymen and brothers in religion. This is indeed as the prophet (salalahu alaihi wasalam) predicted, he said that some of the muslims in this ummah would follow the Jews and the christians inch by inch and in every matter, even if they go in a hole, some muslims would follow them and get astray. Today we see this happening, the majority of the people in our ummah have adopted their way of life, because they think it is modern and cool, they see Islam as something backward and strange (ghareeb as predicted by the prophet).

According to kaffir news reports, a judge in Yemen - Mohsen Allwan - has ordered police to use force to find Imam Anwar al-Awlaki (hafizahullah) "dead or alive".

The move is another show of public support by the apostate kaffir-loving Yemen government for its Amrikan ally, and comes only a few days after Amrika sent more "military advisers" to Yemen, and gave the Yemen government almost a billion dollar bribe and more military hardware to help them kill, or arrest and imprison, those Muslims opposed to Amrikan interference in the internal affairs of Yemen.

Amrika - carrying on its terrorist tradition of murdering its opponents - has already "authorized the CIA to capture or kill al-Awlaki" at all costs, and kaffir teams of so-called Special Forces are already operating in Yemen.

This is how a real muslim should be to the disbelievers:
