(Peace be upon you)
Let me make clear that we have an
ijma (consensus) of
ulema (scholars) on the issue of
Daesh's illegitimacy and also that they are fighting an illegitimate
jihad; however, where they differed is that while most
ulema (scholars) consider them
Khawarij, some considered them
kuffar, and some took the moderate position of considering them only deviated and thereby deviants.
So, in summary, even if you do not understand this from the Islamic standpoint, from the point of view of scholars, the
ahadeeth (prophetic traditions) do indeed point to
Daesh being
Khawarij as they've determined based on the signs enumerated in these
ahadeeth, and the primary signs from which they've gleaned that is the group making the blood of fellow Muslims
halal (permissible to spill). Also, from an Islamic standpoint, laypersons are not free to dissent from a matter on which
ijma has been formed.
From an Islamic standpoint, when there's conflict, it not only means that laypersons like yourself are not free to dissent from the matter but that it is entirely out of the bounds for you to transgress the limits prescribed by the scholars because Prophet :saws:
(peace and blessings be upon him) very clearly said, "
My nation will never agree upon misguidance, and if you witness any conflict, then follow the majority of my nation" (Ibn Majah) and then also said in another
hadith (prophetic tradition), "
That which the Muslims consider good, Allah considers good." What all of this means for you as a layperson is that you have to follow the scholars in not taking the sides of oppressors just because they are good at sloganeering about
jihad. For example, if a person gave you a bottle in which there was poison and you knew this but it was relabeled as "ambrosia," are you now supposed to drink the poison and consider the liquid instead medicine? That is unfathomable and would be beyond foolish; similarly, we as believers do not believe in slogans but we believe in judging for ourselves the reality from the information we learn and from the judgment of scholars.
And there's proof that there will not be any Muslim rule until Mahdi :as: because a
hadith (prophetic tradition) says the following: “
Two believers have ruled the world, and two unbelievers. The believers are Sulayman :as: and Dhul’qarnayn :as:. The unbelievers are Nemrud and Nebuchadnezzar. The fifth, the Mahdi descended from my line, will also rule the world.” If there had been the Caliphate of the magnitude you imagine under which all Muslims are supposed to unite before the time of Mahdi :as: for the purpose of being with Mahdi :as:, then Allah and His Prophet :saws: would have mentioned the matter so that we may take heed but instead we're informed that Mahdi :as: will come because "
I swear that such calamities will befall this community that people will find nowhere to hide from this oppression and cruelty. At such a troubled time Almighty Allah will send a relative of mine, one of my line, thanks to whom the world will be filled with justice and security. In the same way that the world was full of oppression and cruelty (before him). All the dwellers in the skies (angels and the spirits of the prophets) and all those on Earth (believers and animals) will be pleased (with him). In the time of Hadhrat Mahdi :as:, the sky will begrudge no rain and will generously cause rain to fall." Also, we had Prophet :saws: tell us the following: "
Before the Hour comes, there will be a tribulation like patches of dark night. A man will get up a believer and go to sleep an unbeliever, or will go to sleep a believer and wake up an unbeliever. The one who sits at that time will be better than one who stands and the one standing will be better than the one walking and the one walking will be better than one running. Break your bows, cut their strings and strike your swords against stones. If someone comes to kill any of you, then be like the better of the two sons of Adam" (Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah).
Finally, we do not know what type of weapons will be used during the time of Mahdi :as: except that probably nuclear holocaust will have destroyed almost all of the human tribe so that the remaining persons will witness miracles so that it will essentially be a battle between good vs. evil because in that time the
kufr will be so clear from
iman that it will be the difference between day and night.
So, perhaps instead of asking me to try again in a decade, you should yourself go to scholars and ask them to teach you what you do not know; because it is very obvious to me that you do not know and are a troublemaker from your own expressed opinions. However, for your own sake and benefit, I'd hope you'd make the effort to humble yourself and have scholars give you the explanations from which you'd learn because it is the matter of your
aakhirah (hereafter) and no small matter if you make a misstep. Remember we know from the
hadith (prophetic tradition) that "
Allah's hand is over the group, and whoever dissents from them departs to hell" (Trimidhi) which has been explained by scholars that those who dissent and fracture themselves from the opinion of majority are those whom we may clearly identify as those who have taken themselves out of the
jamaa' and into the arms of misguidance and
shaitaanic deviation.
I can use the same thing about how you know the hadiths that you stated before is 100% for IS? Is it the same for the Taliban or Al Qaeda? If its not then your point is Batil and makes me assume as to how you know which hadith pin points at which group. How do you know for sure that, that hadith is for IS? And it also goes to show that Islam will be spread by the sword, thank you for clarifying the point ive been making the past 20 replies. Try again next year.
And also there is no evidence stating that Imam madhi will be the first one to establish the khilafah after being lost. Try again in a decade.
