There is such a dislike for those that strive in the cause of Allah amongst those Muslims with weak iman, who are ignorant of their Deen, the hypocrites, the palace scholars and the Modernist Deviants that want to be so much like the kuffar in their customs, laws and behaviors that when the Mahdi comes he will most likely also be rejected by the Muslims for striving to fight the Dajjal. They will tell him, "hey stop, there is only "defensive Jihad" or we are living in the "Meccan Phase" or Shariah is not applicable in the 21st century blah, blah, blah. I wonder if they will also do the same with Isa, son of Mary, a.s. when he comes to finish off the Dajjal and all the fitnah he will bring.
What are palace scholars ?
I agree with you but you have to admit there are muslims out there who are commiting atrocities and use the name of Islam as their defence, it isnt just the media talking about them, but also muslims in that paticular country speaking out against them, others are for them...
We dont know as we arent over there witnessing it first hand, but we cannot deny these things are happening against muslims aswell..
Eg suicide bombing - where is that allowed in sharia or the rules of warfare which are very explicit.
Even Allah says we are not to kill ourselves
It was narrated from Thaabit ibn al-Dahhaak (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills himself with something in this world will be punished with it on the Day of Resurrection.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5700; Muslim, 110.*
O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful.And whoever does that in aggression and injustice - then We will drive him into a Fire. And that, for Allah , is [always] easy. [4:29-30)
Those who are just defending their country and their people, driving out the enemy... perfectly fine as long as the rules of warefare as per sharia are met.
Before engaging in battle, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) instructed his soldiers:
1. “Do not kill any child, any woman, or any elder or sick person.” (Sunan*Abu Dawud)
2. “Do not practice treachery or mutilation.(Al-Muwatta)
3. Do not uproot or burn palms or cut down fruitful trees.(Al-Muwatta)
4. Do not slaughter a sheep or a cow or a camel, except for food.” (Al-Muwatta)
5. “If one fights his brother, [he must] avoid striking the face, for God created him in the image of Adam.” (Sahih Bukhari,*Sahih Muslim)
6. “Do not kill the monks in monasteries, and do not kill those sitting in places of worship. (Musnad*Ahmad Ibn Hanbal)
7. “Do not destroy the villages and towns, do not spoil the cultivated fields and gardens, and do not slaughter the cattle.” (Sahih Bukhari; Sunan*Abu Dawud)
8. “Do not wish for an encounter with the enemy; pray to God to grant you security; but when you [are forced to] encounter them, exercise patience.” (Sahih Muslim)
9. “No one may punish with fire except the Lord of Fire.” (Sunan*Abu Dawud).
10. “Accustom yourselves to do good if people do good, and to not do wrong even if they*commit*evil.” (Al-Tirmidhi)
