Reading the Books of Sayyid Qutb

Do you advise the youth to read Sayyid Quṭb's books, and what is your opinion on Shaykh Rabīʿs books about Sayyid Quṭb, especially since some warn against them? هل تنصح الشباب بقراءة كتب سيد قطب وما هو قولكم في كتب الشيخ ربيع في سيد قطب وخاصة أن البعض يحذر منها؟ Sayyid Quṭb is considered a literary figure. He lived in disbelief for eleven years, سيد قطب يعتبر أديباً من الأدباء مكث مع الالحاد إحدى عشرة سنة then Allah, the Sublime and Exalted, guided him. ثم هداه الله سبحانه وتعالى، هداه الله سبحانه وتعالى He did not sit with al-ʿulamāʾ (ie: the scholars); ولم يجالس العلماء؛ he relied on his own fikr (ie: thoughts). اعتمد على فكره، He is considered a literary figure among those whom the verse of Allah, the Almighty, applies: {And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them; Do you not see that they roam in every valley and that they say what they do not do? - Except those who believe, do righteous deeds, remember Allah often, and defend themselves after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned} (26:224-227). فهو يعتبر أديباً من الأدباء ممن يصدق عليه وعلى أمثاله قول الله عز وجل: " وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ *أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ *وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ *إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانْتَصَرُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ ". So I ask the questioner: Have you read the entire “Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr”? فأنا أسأل السائل: أأنت قرأت كله؟، Have you read the entire “Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī”? أأنت قرأت كله؟، Have you read the entire “Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim”? أأنت قرأت كله؟، Have you read the entire “Musnad Aḥmad”? أأنت قرأت كله؟، Have you read the entire “Sunan Abū Dāwūd”? أأنت قرأت كلها؟، Have you read the entire “Jāmīʿ at-Tirmiḏī”? أأنت قرأت كله؟، Have you read the entire “Sunan al-Nasāʿī”? أأنت قرأت كلها؟، Or is it (only) after Sayyid Quṭb (that you will read those)? أم بعد سيد قطب؟!، Some people have become extremists in takfīr (ie: declaring Muslims as unbelievers) just by reading Sayyid Quṭb's books because of his frequent mention of “al-Ṭaġūt” and “al-Ṭaġūt.” بعض الناس أصبح بسبب قراءته في كتب سيد قطب أصبح من جماعة التكفير!!، بسبب نهجه وإكثاره من (الطاغوت)، و(الطاغوت)، Yes, we say: al-Ṭaġūt; but many times, we do not mean that this (Ṭaġūt) is outside the religion of Islām. نعم إننا نقول: الطاغوت؛ ولكن في كثير من الأوقات لا نعني أنه خارج من دين الإسلام. Therefore, I do not recommend reading the books of Sayyid Quṭb, فأنا لا أنصح بقراءة كتب سيد قطب، nor the books of Muḥammad al-Ġazzālī, ولا بقراءة كتب محمدٍ الغزالي، nor the books of Muḥammad Quṭb, ولا بقراءة كتب محمد قطب، nor the books of Zaynab al-Ġazzālī. ولا بقراءة كتب زينب الغزالية، Brothers, read the books of the Sunnah; يا إخواننا اقرؤوا كتب السنة؛ the book “Kitāb al-Tawḥīd” on the names and attributes of Allah by Ibn Khuzaymah, كتاب في الأسماء والصفات لابن خزيمة، “al-Sunnah” by Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim, لابن أبي عاصم، “al-Sharīʿah” by al-Ājurrī, للآجري، “Sharḥ al-Sunnah” by al-Lālikāʿī, للالكائي، “al-Sunnah” by Muḥammad b. Naṣr al-Marwazī, لمحمد بن نصر المروزي، the book “al-Īmān” by al-Qāsim b. Sallam, كتاب للقاسم بن سلام، and so on from the kutub ʿulamāʾnā al-mutaqaddimīn (ie: books of our earlier scholars). وهكذا من كتب علماءنا المتقدمين Allah has preserved His religion: {Indeed, it is We who sent down the ḏikr (the Qurʾān) and indeed, We will be its guardian} (15:9). فالله قد حفظ دينه: " إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْر وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ ". I do not declare Sayyid Quṭb an unbeliever; ولست أكفر سيد قطب؛ however, I say that his books should not be relied upon, ولكن أقول: إنه لا يعتمد عليه في كتبه، and may Allah reward our brother Rabīʿ b. Hādī, may Allah preserve him, who has advised and clarified the deviations and misguidances in the books of Sayyid Quṭb, and all praise is due to Allah. وجزى الله أخانا ربيع بن هادي حفظه الله تعالى خيراً فقد نصح وبين ما في كتب سيد قطب من الزيغ والضلال والحمد لله.

“These Arab armies that you see are not there to defend Islam and Muslims, but rather to kill you! They will not fire a single shot at the Zionists.” — Sayyid Qutb

Menulislah

Sejak menonton film catatan akhir sekolah dan radio galau FM, ketertarikan akan dunia menulis mulai muncul. Kadang iseng-iseng buat buku harian, nulis di blogspot, Instagram, dan sekarang tumblr.

Ketika kuliah, membaca kebiasan menulis tokoh-tokoh Islam besar seperti Buya Hamka, Sayyid Qutb, Abbas As-Sisiy, Yusuf Qardhawy, dan tokoh lainya, membuat diri ini menyadari betapa sesederhana tulisan mampu merubah zaman saat itu dan juga setelahnya.

Menulis tak hanya menulis, namun memberikan ruh dalam tulisan agar mengingatkan manusia untuk belajar dari kesalahan dan mendekat kepada ketakwaan.

Sejalan dengan apa yang dikatakan oleh Ust. Sholikin Abu Izzudin, bahwa tulisan kita itu haruslah senantiasa memberikan hikmah, pengingat, dan juga menyalakan optimisme selayaknya pribadi seorang muslim agar lebih semangat lagi untuk berbuat baik dengan orang lain, dan tentu harus bertanggungjawab.

3 bulan kebalakang, mencoba belajar menulis untuk mengikuti jejak orang-orang shaleh, berbagi ilmu, menyalakan optimisme, dan yang paling minimal bermanfaat untuk orang lain melalui tulisan.

So, here we go. Bahtera Dakwah dan Menyala Kesatuan.

قال سيد قطب رحمه الله: 

"ليس الطريق أن تخلص الأرض من يد طاغوت روماني أو طاغوت فارسي.. إلى يد طاغوت عربي.. فالطاغوت كله طاغوت! .. إن الأرض لله، ويجب أن تخلص لله.

ولا تخلص لله إلا أن ترتفع عليها راية : " لا إله إلا الله "

Sayyid Qutb رحمه الله says:

"The path is not to free the land from the hand of a Roman Taghut or a Persian Taghut... only to place it in the hand of an Arab Taghut, for all the Taghut is the same! The land belongs to Allah, and it must be liberated seeking the pleasure of Allah.

And it will not be liberated for Allah until the banner of 'La ilaha illallah' is raised over it."

[bogusfilth]

also she says:

[The Suez Canal's] construction followed hard on the heels of an Egyptian cotton boom in the early 1860s that spurred breakneck imperial investment in transport and extraction.

and it's a little crazy to me that she doesn't mention even in passing that this cotton boom was in no small part due to the American Civil War. when I was reading John Calvert's bio of Sayyid Qutb (which I didn't finish but should go back to) the massive restructuring of Ottoman Egypt's agricultural industry around cotton is like a big part of his background/setup and honestly i know it makes me sound dumb but it blew my mind at the time. like of course all that is interconnected.....

Antisemitism plays a central role in Islamism

Islamism has been misunderstood as an extremist form of religion, whereas it is a political ideology, resulting from the Islamisation of radicalism. One factor contributing to its rise was Nazism: the Nazis brought their poisonous antisemitism with them. Islamic State took this antisemitism further, by claiming that Sh’ites were really Jews. Writing in Fathom (May 2023) Daniel Ben Ami reviews a fascinating book by Evin Ismail of Uppsala University. 

Muslim Brotherhood ideologue Sayid Qutb, one of the most influential

To be sure there is a relatively small number of formidable academics who do see Islamism as a form of political ideology rather than an extremist religion. For example, Olivier Roy, a leading French expert, argues that: ‘We must understand that terrorism does not arise from the radicalisation of Islam, but from the Islamisation of radicalism’. In other words, Islamism is an outlook that frames radical politics in Islamic language. The Islamist worldview extends well beyond Jihadi terrorists to include what are sometimes called ‘participationist’ Islamists. Such militants engage in Islamist politics but do not themselves engage in acts of violence. Other experts who see Islamism as essentially a form of political ideology, albeit one that uses an Islamic idiom, include Matthias Küntzel and Bassam Tibi. These authors are all well worth reading but sadly they have so far had relatively little influence on the public debate.

Evin Ismail, a senior lecturer in political science at the Swedish Defence University, has added to this important but insufficiently well-known literature with her Uppsala University doctorate. It examines the centrality of anti-Semitism to the outlook of the Muslim Brotherhood – which has spawned numerous organisations around the world – and Islamic State.

She draws on a variety of sources to help understand the Islamist world view and the centrality of Islamism in particular. These include a discussion of Islamic sources such as the Koran and the hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhamad), the writings of Sayyid Qutb (the most influential Islamist ideologue), Dabiq (an Islamic State newsletter) and case studies of various Islamist terrorists.

Ismail argues that anti-Semitism has played a central part in the Islamist outlook since its inception with the foundation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in 1928. That is, it should be noted, 20 years before the founding of the state of Israel. So, seeing Islamist anti-Semitism as simply a reaction to Israel’s actions is not tenable.

Several factors contributed to the rise of Islamism and its anti-Semitism in particular. In the 1930s and early 1940s the Nazis promoted the Muslim Brotherhood as a counterweight to Britain, which then dominated Egypt, and France. Naturally the Nazis brought their poisonous anti-Semitic baggage with them. But even before the rise of the Nazis other pernicious European influences, most notably the Protocols, were having an influence on sections of Egyptian society.

The most influential Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, whose influence later spread worldwide, was Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966). Ismail draws on two of his works to help reconstruct his anti-Semitic worldview, The first was Our Struggle Against the Jews, a short pamphlet which describes Jews as a ‘cosmic Satanic evil’. The other is In the Shade of the Koran, Qutb’s multi-volume great work.

Qutb’s outlook still provides the core of Islamist ideology. In his view Muslims had suffered from the machinations of Jews and double dealing since the inception of Islam in the year 610. Jews had waged a constant war against the ummah (the Muslim community of believers) as part of their conspiratorial drive to dominate the world. The survival of Islam from this perspective depended on waging a religious war – in which killing was morally sanctioned – to defeat the cosmic evil of the Jews. Qutb argued that an elite cadre of Islamic revolutionaries was needed to achieve this goal. He also popularised the idea of takfir – the idea of excommunicating Muslims regarded as apostates.

Qutb’s worldview has been extended and adapted by numerous Islamist groups around the world. For example, Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, has translated four of Qutb’s books into Farsi . Islamism has therefore crossed an important divide from the Muslim Brotherhood, a Sunni organisation, to the Shiite Islamic Republic of Iran.

Ismail’s focus though is Islamic State and how its doctrine developed via the Sahwa movement, an important organisation although little known in the West.

The Sahwa movement emerged in Saudi Arabia in the 1960s. It was established by exiled Muslim Brotherhood activists from Egypt and Syria. These included Mohammed Qutb, the brother of Sayyid, who was also inspired by the Protocols. Mohammed Qutb in turn inspired Osama bin Laden, the Saudi-born leader of Al-Qaeda until he was killed by American forces in 2011.

Ismail argues that Sahwa combined apolitical Wahhabism – the austere from of Islam prevalent in Saudi Arabia – with the Muslim Brotherhood’s organisational methods and political worldview. A key intellectual innovation was its addition of anti-Shiism into the mix. This was already prevalent among Syrian Muslim Brotherhood members as they were already in a conflict with the Assad regime, dominated by the Alawites, a sect within Shiite Islam. The Sunni state of Saudi Arabia was also a regional geopolitical rival of the predominantly Shiite Iran.

ISIS took this anti-Shiism a step further by linking it to their anti-Semitism. It developed the idea that Shiites were not really Muslims at all but – astonishingly – undercover Jews as they reject the true teaching of Islam. This in turn, in the view of ISIS, justified its systematic killing of Shiites in Iraq.

This is perhaps the most surprising example of the paranoid conspiratorial anti-Semitism that is central to the Islamist worldview. For example, ISIS – like most other Islamists – believes that America is controlled by Jews and Israel. It has also referred to Kurdish troops as representing ‘Peshmergen Zionism’. In addition, ISIS has claimed that Sunni leaders, especially monarchs, are ‘apostate rulers’ who act as ‘the slaves of the Jews and the Christians��.

Once the grotesque assumptions of the Islamist world view are accepted, its outlook makes sense. Jews are, from this warped perspective, engaged in an evil conspiracy against the entire global Muslim community. The conclusion Islamists draw is that it is necessary to wage a religious war against the Jews to counter this supposed threat. Killing Jews is, in this view, morally justified.

Tackling Islamism effectively means developing a better understand of it as a radical political ideology rather than as an extreme of the religion. Its doctrine needs to be carefully studied and understood. Evin Ismail’s book is an important contribution towards that urgent task.

Muslim Brotherhood antisemitism may have influenced ISIS in Iraq

[homonationalist]

Fathi al-Shaqaqi, founder of the Islamic Jihad of Palestine developing out of the more militant Qutbist elements of the Muslim Brotherhood, was deeply inspired by the Marxist ideologies of V.I. Lenin and Mao Zedong, and of course Sayyid Qutb, who himself developed a theory of Islamist vanguardism out of Lenin’s works. This engagement with Marxist theories of imperialism, capitalism, colonialism, and socialism shows us that the Islamic Resistance can not be neatly positioned into the categorical partisanship of western political ideology, be it ‘left’ or ‘right’, ‘radical’ or ‘conservative.’ These categorical poles of western partisanship, having developed out of the unique conditions of Revolutionary France and the European Enlightenment, can not be simply transposed onto the realpolitik of the Islamic Resistance. Hamas and PIJ thoroughly engage with Marxist and anti-colonial frameworks, not in spite of, but because of their conservative (or more accurately conservationist) Islamist ideology. It is from this we begin to understand that the Islamic Resistance is in fact an authentic reflection of Palestinian politics and more importantly, a reflection of Palestinian life. The pragmatic politics of Hamas and PIJ are unconstrained by the idealistic dogmas of leftism and rightism, and are instead developed in accordance to material needs and demands of Palestinian reality. The dilemma of positioning the Islamic Resistance Movement in terms of political partisanship becomes all the more difficult when considering the already existing partisanship engrained in the foundations of the Israeli state apparatus. If the direction of ideology is positioned as either left or right, how then, do we contend with the contradictions between Israeli and Palestinian partisanship? The Israeli left which seeks to expand social welfare, democratic values, and civil rights arguably shares less in common with the Palestinian left than it does with the categorically right-wing Jewish fundamentalists and Israeli libertarians, who, despite their attempts at democratic backsliding which has produced friction between the ideological poles of Israeli civil society, also seek to preserve the interests and security of the Israeli state. The national interests of the Palestinian Islamist ‘right’ and secular left in the dismantling of the Jewish state pose an equal threat to the entire Israeli political spectrum, paradigmatically shifting ideological and political partisanship towards national conflict.

Mu from “Understanding Hamas: Navigating the Islamic Resistance Movement” (2023)

[commiedervish]

"Islam came to declare and establish the great universal principle that: “There shall be no compulsion in religion. The right way is henceforth distinct from error.” (2:256) This reflects the honor God has reserved for man and the high regard in which man’s will, thought and emotions are held, and the freedom he is granted to choose his beliefs, and the responsible position he is afforded to be judge of his own actions. Here lies the essence of human emancipation which 20th-century authoritarian and oppressive ideologies and regimes have denied mankind. Modern man has been deprived of the right to choose and live other than according to what is dictated by the state, using the full force of its colossal machinery, laws and powers… Freedom of belief is the most basic right that identifies man as a human being. To deny anyone this right is to deny him or her humanity. Freedom of belief also implies the freedom to express and propagate one’s belief without fear of threat or persecution; otherwise, that freedom is hollow and meaningless."

— Sayyid Qutb, Fi Zilal Al-Quran

Derr Aufstieg der Hamas

Es begann mit Nazi-Propaganda

Wer den Terror der Hamas verstehen will, muss ihre Ideologie kennen – und dafür fast 100 Jahre zurückblicken. Denn sie ist quasi der palästinensische Ableger der Muslimbruderschaft, die einst mit Hitlers Judenhass und Vernichtungsfantasien per Radio aus Deutschland gefüttert wurde. Die Hamas-Gründungscharta von 1988 ist eindeutig: "Die Muslime werden sie töten, bis sich der Jude hinter Stein und Baum verbirgt."

Beitrag von Georg Heil, Henrike Reintjes und Lisa Wandt

Anmoderation: Die Debatten, die über diesen Krieg geführt werden, sind selten sachlich und fast immer sehr emotional. Da hilft es, mal ganz kurz zurückzutreten, den Blick zu weiten: Denn auch wenn die Lage gerade hoffnungslos wirkt, es gab ja mal diesen Moment, in dem ein dauerhafter Frieden möglich schien. Warum ist er gescheitert? Wer ist diese Hamas eigentlich - und woher rührt ihr abgrundtiefer Hass auf die Juden? Das hat dann viel mehr mit unserer eigenen Geschichte zu tun, als vielen bewusst ist.

Der Terroranschlag vom 7. Oktober war nur der Anfang, wenn es nach der Hamas geht. Kurz nach den brutalen Morden kündigt der ranghohe Hamas-Funktionär Ghazi Hamad an:

Ghazi Hamad, Hamas-Funktionär

"Das war nur das erste Mal, es wird ein zweites, ein drittes und viertes Mal geben."

Wer diesen Terror verstehen will, muss die Ideologie der Hamas verstehen – und dafür fast 100 Jahre zurückblicken.

Kaum einer kennt Israel und die Geschichte des Nahost-Konflikts besser als Richard C. Schneider. Seit fast 20 Jahren lebt er in Tel Aviv, berichtete für die ARD und andere Medien, nun als Autor für den Spiegel.

1928 gründet sich in Ägypten die Muslimbruderschaft, als Reaktion auf die westliche Vorherrschaft.

Richard C. Schneider, ehem. Studioleiter ARD Tel Aviv

"Die Muslimbruderschaft hatte sich schon sehr früh in den dreißiger Jahren mit dem Großmufti von Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini, zusammengetan im Kampf gegen die Zionisten. Amin al-Husseini ist nach Berlin gereist zu Adolf Hitler, in der Hoffnung, dass die Nazis ihnen dabei helfen, die Juden, die Zionisten aus Palästina wieder zu vertreiben. Also es gab von Anfang an dieses antijüdisch antizionistische Element."

Ausgerechnet die Nazis waren es, die von 1939 bis 1945 den arabischen Raum mit ihrer Ideologie beeinflussten. Über einen Radiosender in Berlin. Radio Zeesen.

"Achtung, Achtung, hier ist Berlin Königs-Wusterhausen und der deutsche Kurzwellensender."

Richard C. Schneider, ehem. Studioleiter ARD Tel Aviv

"Der hat vor allem auch nach Palästina auf Arabisch die Ideologie der Nazis verbreitet. Das wurde zum Teil von der Muslimbruderschaft mit übernommen. Und der große Vordenker der Muslimbruderschaft, Sayyid Qutb, hat 1950 einen Text geschrieben, der hieß "Unser Kampf gegen die Juden", indem er antijüdische Elemente aus dem Islam, dschihadistische Elemente und diesen eliminatorischen, Antisemitismus der Nazis da zu einer neuen Mixtur zusammengefügt hat. Und das wirkt bis heute nach."

Die Hamas gründete sich als palästinensischer Ableger der Muslimbruderschaft erst Ende 1987, fast zeitgleich zur ersten Intifada. In ihrer Gründungscharta beruft sich die Hamas auf ein weit verbreitetes, dem Propheten Mohammed zugeschriebenes Zitat, demzufolge der jüngste Tag nicht kommen werde…

Zitat

"(…) bevor die Muslime die Juden bekämpfen und töten und bis sich die Juden hinter Steinen und Bäumen verstecken, und die Steine und Bäume dann sagen: Muslim, oh Diener Gottes! Da versteckt sich ein Jude hinter mir. Komm und töte ihn (…)."

Hamas-Gründungscharta 1988

Judenhass bis zur Vernichtung – das ist die Ideologie der Hamas. Doch zunächst sieht es so aus, dass es dazu nicht kommen wird.

Denn 1993 keimt die Hoffnung auf einen dauerhaften Frieden auf. Eine Zweistaatenlösung scheint in greifbarer Nähe.

Es kommt zum historischen Handschlag zwischen Israels Premier Yizhak Rabin und Palästinenser-Führer Jassir Arafat.

Unter Israels Hardlinern regt sich dagegen Widerstand. Auf einer Demonstration im Jahr 1995 spricht der Oppositionspolitiker und heutige Premier Benjamin Netanyahu, Gewalt liegt in der Luft. Rabin wird von Radikalen als Nazi portraitiert:

"Rabin Nazi, Rabin Nazi, Rabin Nazi"

Wenig später erschießt ein jüdischer Rechtsextremist Yizhak Rabin. Dessen Witwe beschuldigt die Radikalen um Netanyahu später, eine moralische Mitverantwortung an dem Mord zu tragen.

Leah Rabin

"I do blame them. They showed him in the uniform of a Nazi. So Mr. Bibi Netanyahu now he can say from here to eternity that he didn’t support it and didn’t agree with it. But he was there, he saw it and he didn’t stop it."

"Ich gebe ihnen die Schuld. Sie haben ihn in einer Nazi-Uniform gezeigt. Netanyahu kann bis in alle Ewigkeit sagen, dass er sie nicht unterstützt hat und damit nicht einverstanden war. Aber er war da und er hat es nicht unterbunden."

Nach dem Mord sinkt Netanyahus Ansehen in Israel zunächst. Doch dann sprengen sich Selbstmordattentäter der Hamas in Jerusalem und in Tel Aviv in die Luft – die Stimmung in Israel kippt. Rechte Hardliner gewinnen an Einfluss.

Richard C. Schneider, Ehemaliger Studioleiter ARD Tel Aviv

"Diese Terroranschläge wurden der Linken zur Last gelegt und damit wählte man dann rechts, weil man meinte, wenn man rechts wählt, hat man dann die richtige Antwort gegen diesen unglaublichen Terror in den eigenen Städten und so kam Netanyahu an die Macht."

Netanyahus Aufstieg also auch eine Folge des Hamas-Terrors.

2000 dann kommt es in Camp David in den USA erneut zu Friedensgesprächen. Diesmal zwischen Arafat und Israels Premier Barak. Doch ein geplantes Abkommen platzt.

Bill Clinton, ehemaliger US-Präsident, 2016

"I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down. That would have given them all of Gaza and between 96-97% of the West Bank."

Übersetzung: "Ich habe echt alles gegeben, um den Palästinensern einen Staat zu geben. Ich hatte einen Deal, den sie abgelehnt haben. Der hätte ihnen den ganzen Gazastreifen sowie 96-97% des Westjordanlands gegeben."

2005 wird unter Premier Ariel Sharon einseitig der Rückzug aus dem Gazastreifen beschlossen. Netanyahu, der nun Finanzminister ist, stimmt erst dafür, tritt dann jedoch aus Protest dagegen zurück.

In Gaza selbst beginnt nun der Machtkampf. Auf der einen Seite die Fatah von Arafats Nachfolger Abbas, auf der anderen die Hamas.

2006 wird gewählt:

Hamas-Sprecher Hamad, der kürzlich erst weitere Anschläge wie den vom 7. Oktober ankündigte, gibt sich damals im Wahlkampf lammfromm.

Ghazi Hamad (2006)

"We are a moderate organisation. Really, we are not a radical organisation. And we are not extremist or fundamentalist. No. We are an open-minded organisation. We believe in democracy and freedom and political pluralisation"

"Wir sind eine gemäßigte Organisation, wirklich, wir sind keine Radikalen, Extremisten oder Fundamentalisten. Wir sind eine weltoffene Organisation. Wir glauben an Demokratie, Freiheit und Pluralismus."

Die Hamas wird im Gazastreifen stärkste Kraft – und geht eine Koalition mit der Fatah ein. Doch diese hält nur kurz.

Richard C. Schneider, ehem. Studioleiter ARD Tel Aviv

"Und dann kam es 2007 zum sogenannten Putsch, wo die Hamas die Fatah aus Gaza gewaltsam in einem Bürgerkrieg rausgedrängt hat. Ich war damals in diesem Bürgerkrieg als Korrespondent. Die berühmten Bilder, wo die Hamas Fatah Leute auf die Dächer der Häuser geholt hat und sie von dort einfach runter geworfen hat, das sind Bilder, die man wirklich nicht mehr vergisst. Und das war's. Und in dem Augenblick, wo die Hamas das Sagen hatte, wurde natürlich der Kampf gegen Israel verstärkt intensiviert."

Die Hamas kam manchen israelischen Hardlinern gerade Recht, weil sie mit ihrem Terror gute Argumente gegen einen Palästinenserstaat lieferte.

Bezalel Smotrich, Knesset-Abgeordneter

"Die Palästinensische Autonomiebehörde ist für uns ein Hindernis und die Hamas ist für uns von Wert. Es ist eine Terrororganisation, niemand wird sie anerkennen."

Der Mann, der das 2015 offen einräumte, ist heute unter Netanyahu Finanzminister. Ein Radikaler, dem die Extremisten auf der anderen Seite offenbar gut zu Pass kamen.

Ein eigener Staat – der Terror der Hamas hat die Palästinenser diesem Ziel kein Stück nähergebracht.

Richard C. Schneider, ehem. Studioleiter ARD Tel Aviv

"Wenn die damals keine einzige Rakete abgefeuert hätten auf Israel. Und die enorme Unterstützung der internationalen Staatengemeinschaft auch die finanzielle Unterstützung genutzt hätten und hätten Gaza, ich sag jetzt mal ein bisschen salopp, zu einem palästinensischen Singapur aufgebaut, dann hätten die wahrscheinlich längst ihren Staat. Weil die internationale Staatengemeinschaft dann wahrscheinlich ganz anders hätte Druck machen können auf egal welche israelische Regierung und hätte sagen können: Guck mal, geht doch!"

Pelajaran Yang Aku Dapat dari Juz 2

Alhamdulillah kita kembali berjumpa di blog aku yang biasa-biasa aja hehe. Kali ini aku ingin memberi sedikit informasi dan semoga ini bermanfaat bagi kita semua yaitu pelajaran yang aku dapat dari juz 2? Bagaimana bacaan teman-teman hari ini, Apakah juz 2 nya lancar? In syaa Allah Allah akan menerima dan memberi kali lipat kepada kita terhadap perbuatan kita yang kita kerjakan dengan ikhlas. Tidak masalah, sambil kerja istirahat bentar buka al-Quran baca setengah halaman, atau setelah sholat baca al-Quran 2 halaman, up to you bagaimana pun juga jangan sampai sia-siakan amalan di bulan ramadhan ini.

Baiklah pelajaran yang sangat iconic menurut aku, kenapa menurut aku, karena yang aku baca sangat wort it dengan kejadian kepada diriku. Benar ya ternyata al-Quran ini sangat mengerti sekali apa yang kita rasakan dan apa yang kita resahkan dan kembali kepada al-Quran dan semuanya sudah ada jawabannya, penenangnya. Mungkin bagi teman-teman berbeda kejadiannya, bisa jadi apa yang teman rasakan berbeda juga solusinya di al-Quran, nah berikut beberapa yang aku dapat sesuai dengan apa yang aku minta dari al-Quran. Dan aku tidak menjelaskan dengan diri sendiri, tentu kita harus belajar dari tafisr-tafsir juga hadits dan bagaimana dengan apa yang kita rasakan ketika paham dengan ayat yang kita bacakan. Langsung ajadeh masbro.

1.       Menjadi Ummat Yang Wasathan (143)

Tenyata menjadi hamba dengan bimbingan al-Quran bukan hanya sekedar di tuntun agar mampu membedakan mana yang haq dan bathil, tetapi kita juga di tuntut untuk menjadi umaat Wasathan yaitu pertengahan. Gimana maksudnya? Kita bukan ummat yang semata-mata hanya mengejar akhirat aja, misalnya sholat aja terus, zikir teru menerus, puasa, dan lain-lain sehingga kita lupa ada hak dunia yang harus kita penuhi, ya teman-teman pahamlah, gimana dong sibuk mengurus akhirat eh di dunia kok pengangguran, kok ngak ada kerjaan, kan tidak seimbang. Nah begitu juga urusan dunia, kita kadang disibukkan dengan perkerjaan dunia sehingga lupa dengan akhirat yang sebenarnya dunia ini hanya penunjang atau kendaraan menuju surga-Nya, masa kita udah kaya masih saja belum bisa mendirikan sholat?, udah  mendapatkan cita-cita kok masih merasa kurang? Bagaimana urusan akhirat? Infak, zakat, Sedekahnya kok tinggal padahal rejeki yang Allah beri ada hak orang lain di dalamnya bagaimana tu?

Syeikh Sayyid Qutb pernah menjelaskan dalam tafsirnya “Umat Islam bukanlah umat yang semanta-mata bergelut dan terhanyut dengan rohani dan juga bukan umat yang semata-mata beraliran materi. Akan tetapi, umat Islam adalah umat yang pemenuh nalurinya seimbang dan bersesuaian degan pemenuhan jasmani. Sehingga bisa meningkatakan ketinggian mutu kehidupan.

Wasathan ini juga termasuk dalam bagaimana kita berpikir, mengambil keputusan, persepsi, dan keyakinan. Tentunya harus seimbang dengan bimbingan al-Quran dan sunnah, jangan mengambil keputusan atau pemikiran dengan cara mengikuti hawa nafsu tentu itu bukan termasuk ummat pertengahan.

Ya dengan al-Quran dan bimbingan Nabi mampu memberikan aku secara mental agar menjadi hamba lebih dewasa, serasi, harmonis, dan tetap tenang dalam hal berbagai masalah. Menjadi kedewasaan dalam pemikiran,tidak terlalu mengikuti trend yang tidak ada faedahnya, tidak menjadikan diriku menjadi bodoh tetapi menjadi lebih sabar dan cermat. Ya dengan cara mentaati apa yang allah turunkan yaitu al-Quran dan mengikuti apa yang dijelaskan al-Quran yaitu sunnah Nabi Muhammad saw.

2.       Ingatlah Allah maka Allah akan mengingat Kita (152)

Ha maksudnya?  Iya, ketika kita mengingat Allah, berdizir kepada Allah, bekerja dengan niat mencari Ridho Allah, maka Allah jauh lebih mengingat kita sebagai budak-Nya. Gimana? Adakah di hati kita merasakan “Ya Allah, terimakasih atas nikmat iman yang telah Engkau beri kepadaku, bimbingan yang manis dan indah dari-Mu, inikah nikmat yang sangat aku syukuri hingga aku mati”, mungkin perasaan teman-teman berbeda ya, tidak apa-apa ungkapkan saja menjadi do’a di saat qiyamul lail nanti.

Inilah cinta, cinta yang disalurkan dari Allah kepada hamba-Nya dengan melalui rasa kasihan, Allah tahu bahwa kita ini lemah, Allah tahu bahwa kita tidak pintar, Allah tahu bahwa kita banyak masalah hidup, Allah tahu kita ini sangat terbatas. Maka perintah Allah dalam ayat ini “Ingatlah kamu kepada-Ku, maka Aku jauh selalu mengingat kepadamu”. This is love MasBro. Sebenarnya cinta seperti ini sulit untuk dilukiskan kepada diri kita masing-masing, sebab cinta ini sangatlah besar nikmat-Nya, terlalu nyaman untuk dirasakan, terlalu indah ketika mengingat-Nya, akan tetapi banyak juga diantara kita masing-masing masih jauh dari kata syukur.

Bersyukur dengan cinta ini dengan cara membuktikannya, ya. Bagaimanapun besarnya cinta kita kepada Allah, kalau tidak melaksanakan perintah dan menjauhi hal yang bodoh, maksiat, kedurhakaan, bahkan menentang, tentu cinta kita sangatlah palsu, bukan hanya palsu tentu kita menjadi hamba yang kufur, pendusta cinta.

Untuk membuktinya kita buka aja al-Quran surat al-Imran ayat 31-32, baca aja artinya kayaknya udah jumpa deh bagaimana tutorial bagaimana kita bersyukur dengan cinta besar ini.

3.       Tetaplah bersabar (153)

Dalam hal apa? Sabar untuk mentaati Allah, sebab perjuangan mentaati Allah sangatlah berat belum lagi kita sering futur iman bagaimana solusinya? Sabar. Sabar meninggalakan maksiat, kita ibnu adam tentu diantara kita pernah terpeleset dengan jebakan musuh kita yaitu setan dari golongan manusia dan iblis, apalagi kita yang muda, berpacaran, jalan-jalan dengan yang bukan mahrom, berzina, semua itu sangat menjijikan bagi orang-orang yang memiliki CINTA YANG BESAR KEPADA ALLAH, sabar dan meminta ampun dan pertolonganlah kepada Allah. Sabar dan tegar menhadapi sulitnya hidup. Sabar menghadapi fitnah dan tipu daya setan dari golongan manusia dan iblis. Sabar menghadapi tekanan masalah. Sabar terhadap pertolongan yang sedikit. Sabar kepada orang yang membuat ragu. Sabar atas kedurhakaan.

Di ayat selanjutnya 154, tentu harus diperjuangkan semua perjuangan cinta kita kepada Allah, pejuang tidak akan mati di sisi Allah kepada kita yang mencintai-Nya dan membuktikannya.

4.       Islam itu harus Total

Jangan setengah-setengah, nanggung amat seperti karyawan yang pemalas. Iya, islam tidak dianjurkan kepada umatnya menjadi malas, mengerjakan pekerjaan yang nanggung sekali lagi HARUS SELESAI TUNTAS, KAFFAH, IKHLAS. Nah itu, taat kepada Allah tetapi masih pacaran (zina), lalai dan tidak ada sedikitpun untuk memperjuangkan meninggalkan itu ya kita pemalas sekali orangnya, sok-sokan dalam menjadi hamba yang Cinta kepada Allah. gimana dong keadaan kita kalau tidak total? Yang total itu kita mampu memperjuangkan haq dari Allah dengan cara mentaati segala yang ada di al-Quran dan sunnah, dan menjahui yang bathil dengan cara memperjuangkan diri dari segala kedurhakaan. Gimana dong jadinya kalau digabungin? Ya ngak jelas pastinya, samar-samar, abu-abu, kotor, pemalas, perusak, dan tentunya tanggung total menjadi hamba.

Semoga kita diberikan kesabaran dalam memperjuangkan cinta yang benar. Jangan main-main apalagi mengikuti hawa nafsu padahal apa yang menurut kita baik, bisa jadi itu adalah hal bodoh dihadapan Allah, mungkin menurut kita ini sangat tidak baik, bisa jadi itu adalah hal yang sangat menyelamatkan diri kita dari kedurhakaan. Tidak apa-apa perlahan kita tinggalkan kebodohan kita, kedustaan kita, kedurhakaan kita dengan bersabar dalam perjuangan. Ini berat tetapi tidak menjadikan alasan bahwa kita tidak bisa.

Point 3 sama 4 juga merasakan tertampar sama tulisan ini. Jujur perjuangan sangatlah berat, terutama membuktikan cinta kita kepada Allah, tetapi namanya perjuangan tidak ada kata pantang menyerah, tidak mengenal malas, sabar, kuat, dan ya Allah berjanji kepada Hamba yang berjuang akan selalu hidup di sisi-Nya. Semoga kamu dan aku menjadi hamba yang hidup dalam sisi Allah yang sangat dekat.

Ya teman-teman, inilah yang aku rasakan ketika membaca ayat, sebenarnya banyak lagi tetapi, point diatas sangatlah worth it dengan keadaan aku sekarang sehingga menjadi obat penenang dan semangat untuk diriku yang sedang tidak baik-baik saja. Jika pengalaman aku mentadarus al-Quran ini bermanfaat untuk kawan ambil saja baiknya dan buang jauh-jauh kekurangannya.

Semangat buat diriku dan untuk dirimu.

[for-thebelievingwomen]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”Indeed, the Fitnah of this man (i.e. Sayyid Qutb) and those with him is the Fitnah of this era. It is the severest fitnah in this era because it (falsely) wears the garb of the Salafi Methodology (i.e. falsely attributes itself to Salafiyyah).”

End of Quote- [الذريعة إلى بيان مقاصد كتاب الشريعة Vol 1., page 112]

”We say: Yes, he (Sayyid Qutb) is a reviver; rather he is a reviver of every major bidah, (such as) the school of thought of the khawaarij, the rawaafid (shiites), the murji’ah, the jabariyyah and the soofiyyah. He revived all of them, and between us (Salafis) and them (i.e. the followers of Sayyid Qutb) are the books of Sayyid Qutb and his writings (as a witness).

[alwalaawalbaraaa]

Sayyid Qutb (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said: “Verily, this Dīn, does not reveal its hidden beauties to a cold sitting “Faqīh” who does not struggle to establish this Dīn upon this earth. This Dīn is not a cake which you can refrigerate in your brain. Rather, this Dīn is only understood through struggling to return it into the sphere of life, and building its society once more.”

[siyadalhanbali]

There is only one system, which is the Islamic system, and all other systems are ignorance..!

{ Do they then seek the judgment of [the time of] ignorance? And who is better than Allah in judgment for a people who are certain [in faith ]?}

The Rise and Fall of the Islamic State: A Comprehensive Overview

Understanding the Islamic State (IS): Origins, Actions, and Ideology

Who Are They?

The Islamic State (IS), also known as ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria), and by its Arabic acronym Daesh, is a transnational Salafi jihadist group. The group originated from Jaish al-Ta'ifa al-Mansurah, founded by Abu Omar al-Baghdadi in 2004. Initially affiliated with Al-Qaeda, IS fought alongside them during the Iraqi insurgency. However, IS eventually broke away and gained global notoriety in 2014 by seizing large territories in northwestern Iraq and eastern Syria amidst the chaos of the Syrian civil war.

What Did They Do?

IS became infamous for its severe human rights abuses and war crimes. The group targeted religious minorities, including Christians, Mandaeans, Shia Muslims, and Sufi Sunnis, and was notorious for its brutal propaganda, which included videos of beheadings and executions of journalists and aid workers. By the end of 2015, IS controlled a region with an estimated population of 12 million people. They enforced a harsh and extremist interpretation of Islamic law, managed an annual budget exceeding $1 billion, and commanded a fighting force of over 30,000 individuals.

Their Downfall

By 2019, IS lost control of all its Middle Eastern territories following intense and protracted conflicts with American, Iraqi, and Kurdish forces. This defeat was further accelerated by airstrikes from the American-led coalition and, to a lesser extent, Russian bombings. Despite their loss of territorial control, IS shifted to insurgency tactics and continued to operate from remote hideouts, maintaining a presence in parts of Africa.

Names and Identity

IS has been referred to by several names:

ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant)

ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria)

Daesh (داعش), an Arabic term used in the Arab world which is considered derogatory

In June 2014, IS declared itself a caliphate and adopted the name “Islamic State.” This declaration and the associated name have been widely rejected by most governments and mainstream Muslim groups. The United Nations, various governments, and many in the Arab world use the term Daesh due to its pejorative connotations.

Ideology and Beliefs

IS's ideology is a radical fusion of Qutbism, Takfirism, and Salafi jihadism. The group adheres to a strict, puritanical interpretation of Sunni Islam and rejects traditional Islamic scholarship and jurisprudence. Influenced heavily by Sayyid Qutb and other radical thinkers, IS promotes a vision of Islam that includes extreme violence and considers those who disagree with their views as apostates.

Conclusion

The rise and fall of IS have had a profound impact on global security and regional dynamics. While their control over territory has diminished, their extremist ideologies continue to influence various extremist groups worldwide.
