Last April (2010), the Islamic
ummah
in Bekasi had their anger fueled by the Christians
through their insults and blasphemies against Islam in
the blog belonging to Santo Bellarminus Bekasi. The
blog with the title
"finish off Islam in Indonesia" which
was posted on Wednesday, 21st April 2010 at 02:05,
made insults on Allah, His Rasul and the teachings of
Islam which are not suitable to be expressed publicly,
because the words used are so filthy and disgusting.
The insult did not stop there, they put up pictures of
the Holy Book, the Qur'an in green colour, being
tucked into the toilet hole, a truly outrageous
insult.
The mission of the authors of the blog was also
mentioned, the group who called themselves GMI
(eradicate Islam movement), want to convert Muslims
into their religion. Then followed by their vow to
wipe out Islam from the face of the earth, with the
conviction as follows:
"So
from now on you must convert to Christian/Catholic,
because this is the best religion!! In the name of God
Jesus!! I swear I would wipe out Islam. After the
Tanjung Priok riot in the past, many Christians had
become victims, watch out Islam!! We will burn your
ka'bah and masjids!! Long live GMI"
That's the nature of the
kafir
towards Islam, always harboring resentment and
hostility against it. Unfortunately, many so-called
tolerant Muslims do not believe it. In fact, they even
accuse that it is the Muslims themselves who are
always the instigators of the inter-religious
conflicts. Whereas, Allah
Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala has already explained what's in
the hearts of the
kafir
in a number of His verses, including:
1. QS. Al-Baqarah: 109
وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ
مِنْ أَهْلِ
الْكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ
إِيمَانِكُمْ كُفَّارًا
حَسَدًا مِنْ
عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ
الْحَقُّ
"Many
of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn
you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of
envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become
clear to them."
In this verse, Allah tells the
Mu'mineen
about the hostile attitude of the People of the Book
against them, both outwardly and within themselves.
Allah also informs about their malice towards the
Mu'mineen,
when they know the virtues of the believers and their
Prophet. And the peak of their malice is, to the
extent that they want convert them away from Islam
(make them
murtad).
2. QS. Al-Baqarah: 120
وَلَنْ تَرْضَى
عَنْكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلَا
النَّصَارَى حَتَّى
تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ
"And
never will the Jews and Christians approve of you
until you follow their religion."
In this verse Allah tells us about the enmity of the
Jews and Christians towards Prophet Muhammad and his
Sahabahs.
Due to that, Allah ordered His prophet so as not to
seek their pleasure and not to obey their wishes. Then
Prophet
sallallahu
‘alaihi wasallam commanded his
ummah
to struggle against them and informed us that there
would be a group who are always fighting against them.
He said,
لا تزال طائفة من
أمتي يقتتلون على الحق ظاهرين، لا يضرهم من
خالفهم، حتى يأتي
أمر الله
"There
will always be a group from my Ummah that will fight
upon truth openly. They are not concerned by those
that oppose them or abandon them until the order of
Allah arrives ." (HR. Muslim)
3. QS. Al-Baqarah: 217:
وَلَا يَزَالُونَ
يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ
حَتَّى يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَنْ دِينِكُمْ إِنِ
اسْتَطَاعُوا
"And
they will continue to fight you until they turn you
back from your religion if they are able."
4. QS. Ali Imran: 118
قَدْ بَدَتِ
الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي
صُدُورُهُمْ
أَكْبَرُ
"Hatred
has already appeared from their mouths, and what their
breasts conceal is greater."
There are many other verses that express the hatred
and enmity of the
kafir
towards Islam. If they can afford it, they would
surely make the move to convert (make
murtad)
all the Islamic
ummah
or sweep them over until they are extinct from this
earth. Due to that, Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala ordered the Islamic
ummah
to prepare the physical strengths in order to confront
the
kafireen who are always envious and
hostile towards them.
Allah
Ta'ala says,
وَأَعِدُّوا
لَهُمْ مَا
اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ
قُوَّةٍ وَمِنْ رِبَاطِ الْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِهِ
عَدُوَّ
اللَّهِ
وَعَدُوَّكُمْ وَآَخَرِينَ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ لَا
تَعْلَمُونَهُمُ اللَّهُ
يَعْلَمُهُمْ
"And
prepare against them whatever you are able of power
and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the
enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them
whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows."
(QS. Al-Anfal: 60)
The content of this verse is very clear, Allah
commands the believers to prepare all the strengths
that they can afford, whether it is the strength of
the mind, body, weaponry or any of its kind that could
be utilized for fighting the kafir people who
are never resting and always endeavoring to fight and
destroy the religion of Islam and its adherents. The
purpose is, so that the intentions of the kafir
to fight and finish off the Muslims do not
materialize, because of their trepidation and fear of
seeing the power of the Muslims. This is because, if
the Islamic ummah possess the strengths and
abilities to fight a war, it would make the enemies
from amongst the kafireen and munafiqeen
think twice to launch an attack. On the other hand, if
they see the Islamic ummah weak, not
possessing the strength and not training militarily
that they look incapable of expelling and resisting
the enemies, then they will be eager to fight the
Islamic ummah.
This is according to the word of Allah Ta'ala:
". . and take precaution and carry arms. The kafir
wish you would neglect your weapons and your baggage
so they could come down upon you in one [single]
attack." (QS. An- Nisa': 102)
In conclusion, the Muslimeens must start
preparing for jihad by first doing physical trainings,
readying of the war equipments and making efforts for
the perfection of the jihad fie sabilillah.
Wallahu a'lam bil sowab.
